[00:10] crap he left [00:10] ok so there was a driver for graphic I installed [00:11] and rebooted [00:11] now its fine [00:11] i use unetbootin because cant remember properly if the startup disk creator can make a persistent casper as well [00:11] whats happening is [00:11] when I fore shutdown the driver is being broke [00:11] then i have reinstall [00:11] which card you have and which driver you used? [00:11] I have a sony vaio VPCEE [00:12] 4 gb ram , AMD 64bit [00:12] the driver that fixed it called: [00:12] lol which gpu [00:12] ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics driver [00:13] *faints* [00:13] mody, i cant help you with an ati, i would not touch them neither with a stick under ubuntu [00:13] Mody, worst card ever [00:14] for me the opensource ati drivers always worked better. not very well performing though ... [00:14] okay, i'm not finding this boot disk creator application [00:14] Derpadong, i cant totally agree, the drivers just suck [00:14] what I can do? [00:14] The card + drivers suck tbh [00:14] When I mount a remote drive (samba share), then nautilus shows me the contents, but it isn't mounted in ~/.gvfs. How come? [00:15] mody, prolly you can google if someone had a tweak making it work better installing ubuntu on that model of vaio [00:15] aaah.... 'windows key' -> 'more apps' -> === seanr is now known as seanr|away [00:16] aaah.... 'windows key' -> 'more apps' -> 'filter results' !!!! [00:16] u got it andygraybeal ;) [00:16] yay [00:16] sorry absuloute retard here [00:16] the launcher is not very friendly [00:17] andygraybeal, i would be probably even worst, thats why im sticking on maverick, i dont feel unity/gnome3 ready [00:17] Is unity going to not suck soon? [00:17] sokak, rock! i totally love it!! but i odn't know how to use it!!! [00:17] Derpadong, again, its not a matter of totally sucking, but a matter of getting used to [00:18] thats why instead of complaining, ill just wait it to mature before diving in [00:18] Yeah [00:18] (and lurk whats going on) [00:18] I went to xfce for now lol [00:18] xfce cant be wrong ;) [00:19] xfce is good stuff, but if it dont work for you, LXDE brah. [00:19] I'm trying to get my fav tiling window manager installed [00:19] xfce, lxde for the wins even though i'm in love wth unities [00:19] LXDE is meh. Never liked it [00:19] Nach0z, this is the point, we can flavour it as we like (until you are lazy as me and just idle waiting) [00:19] unities is too ram-heavy for me. I like lightweight [00:19] Sokak, I feel your pain lol [00:20] that being said, I don't like the lubuntu-desktop install [00:20] I gotta use straight LXDE. [00:20] Lol [00:20] Im swimming in ram - i just eat too much of it virtualizing :3 [00:20] I have tons of ram. I just like to be ... judicious with my ram usage. force of habit. [00:20] I need to change my ubuntu from unity to xfce [00:21] Derpadong$ if you google there is a psychocats link that tells you exactly how [00:21] i agree with both - but im insanely happy from when i switched to ubuntu - finally i can deliver desktop help amongst multiple oses *all in the same moment* [00:22] Can someone assist with undeleting (preferably) or reinstalling some missing system directories and who knows what else... am I better off running extundelete or just imaging the drive and reinstalling the OS to the copy? [00:23] Pr0pe110rHead, doing from scratch will lead surely to less pain [00:23] tify 89chevygeek11 [00:24] I have a 10.04 system and shouldn't pressing ESC on boot bring me to the grub menu?. Do I actually have to change grub boot files to enable this? [00:24] b0ef$ thought it was shift then press e to edit the line you want to boot [00:24] MahaVishnu: ?, I should hold down shift while booting to bring up the grub menu? [00:25] sokak: after I image the drive can you help me reinstall the OS to the copy? [00:25] I think so. [00:25] When I boot-up the GRUB screen displays too far to the left, but splash and desktop are aligned correctly. Where should I begin for fixing this? [00:26] Pr0pe110rHead, i meant it as its better to reinstall from scratch rather than scavenging inbetween image files and undeleting. Will be less work, straighter, faster. [00:26] sokak: only trouble is, will it retain the users, home directories, etc? [00:27] does extundelete work if you haven't used the system since files were lost? [00:27] Pr0pe110rHead, of course not if you havent put the home folder in a separate partition. Its the best choice by design. [00:28] MahaVishnu: you're right;) [00:28] MahaVishnu: thanks.. [00:28] skegeek, grub customizer can change the resolution of the grub menu. maybe it "accidently" fixes the problem? ( https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/grub-customizer ) [00:29] b0ef$ np [00:29] hey guys quick question is there any way that I can add space to my partition when I have free space but its not contiguous? IE: ntfs partition, free space, linux, linux, linux partitions..any way to add it? [00:30] Pr0pe110rHead, the first time i messed like that, i backed up the home folders, reinstalled from scratch, making a separate home drive (you may as well just use a partition) then i just recreated users in theiur order, and put back home folders from a live boot. [00:30] jimisrvrox2$ idk. but you could resize the partition with the freespace then move the freespace to the linux partition by resizing it. but you need live-cd and if anything goes wrong during this you will lose data. [00:30] jimisrvrox2, not sure about what you want. but in worst case you can still create a partition that mounts somewhere into your existing filesystem [00:30] jimisrvrox2, i wouldnt mess too much wit non contiguous partitios :3 Considered moving to a new and better partitioned drive? [00:31] sokak: I think the home folders are on another drive. However, I did not setup this box nor was I responsible for the loss of files. I'm just the janitor, as it were. [00:31] Hi all!!! [00:32] When Xubuntu will run as fast as Lubuntu? [00:32] Any one here? [00:32] When Xubuntu will run as fast as Lubuntu? [00:32] Admins moders? [00:32] When Xubuntu will run as fast as Lubuntu? [00:32] Pr0pe110rHead, i see your point. Well, reinstalling from scratch and, during the setup, picking the manual partitioning and replugging the home drive where it belongs, should do the trick (ofc, users have to be recreated as well) the only thing thats odd is, what caused important system folders to be mutilated? [00:32] Admins moders? === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [00:33] sokak: ideally, I would like to undelete the missing directories (/sbin, etc) if indeed they are still there (drive tests pass). then, I can retain the configuration, settings, data, etc. [00:33] any help with intermittent screen flicker on 11.10? [00:34] Why this chat, if I can not get answers to simple questions? [00:34] Octopus: Your question is pretty broad. [00:34] Pr0pe110rHead, honestly i never tried single files restores, until now, i always worked just with testdisk (and i love it - right now im backupping 4 tb of stuff i recovered with it) I have no idea then how to proceed in your case [00:34] Mattheas no [00:35] there is very simple [00:35] I am unable to connect to my wireless I am using 11.10. I have a wireless button and it is not recognized [00:35] reason being is im running out of space on my home partition and its jacking up all kinds of stuff but whats funny is if I reboot instead of having 150kb or so left I have like 37mb left and im like wtf [00:35] Octopus, the answer is, when you will stop making broad questions, and focus on finding tutorials on how to optimize it. [00:35] rstreeter$ try sudo rfkill list [00:36] sokak: I've used testdisk, but I don't think it will undelete to the ext3 partition, I think it undeletes to another drive, right? So, I guess I can complete the image I just started and undelete from the afflicted drive to the copy. Or, I was thinking extundelete or somesuch. [00:36] Octopus: If you say so [00:36] Mattheas,I think, Canonical should cease to fund Xubuntu and invest in Lubuntu. [00:36] What's Lubuntu ? [00:36] * Pengu1n_Phr0zen plays ignorant [00:37] Octopus: That's an opinion. [00:37] hi guys, could some one tell me if this is a valid repository please? http://ppa.launchpad.net/THE_PPA/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [00:37] I think Xubuntu has lost its relevance. [00:37] Octopus$ I disagree and I ask this, what has this got to do with ubuntu support [00:37] does Linux have a repair option akin to Windows? [00:37] why does lsof -i:80 | wc always shows more open/active files than ps aux | grepa apache | wc ? [00:38] Mattheas, This is reality. [00:38] ! [00:38] Pr0pe110rHead, this is the point, i've newer worked in such ways - i always recovered user files, not system files. Btw, i think any undelete application will work from one damaged filesystem to another - undelete in the same place wont work by design [00:38] Xubuntu does not work faster than Ubuntu with Gnome 2. [00:38] But Lubuntu fastest and more. And it uses less resources. [00:38] Pengu1n_Phr0zen, its an lighter ubuntu, old god workin gon old hardware [00:38] Xubuntu does not work faster than Ubuntu with Gnome 2. [00:38] But Lubuntu fastest and more. And it uses less resources. [00:38] Is there a way to find a list of all of the events that upstart jobs can be started on? [00:38] e.g. startup, runlevel, etc. [00:38] Octopus: how can you say that? [00:39] I have a hardware issue, it's not exactly related to Ubuntu, but it's a very problematic issue for my laptop. When I boot it up, the CPU fan makes a banging sound for about 2 seconds then functions correctly. About 20 minutes ago, the fan stopped working temporarily until I cleaned it a bit, but now it just does the banging for a moment, then functioning correctly. If someone here could help or direct me to a channel for hardware advice [00:39] that would be incredibly helpful. [00:39] I currently use and have used both before distribution. [00:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/769587/ That command will properly mount a windows share. How do I put that in a FSTAB without putting my username and password where everyone can see it? [00:40] any help with screen flicker on 11.10? i've checked the forums and can't seem to figure it out. Quite the beginner. [00:40] I currently use and have used both before distribution. [00:40] TheDuck, a can of compressed air, machine oil, or a brand new fan will fix it. [00:40] TheDuck, when using oil, you want to remove the sticker that covers the bearing, usually in the middle of the fan [00:40] and add a drop of oil there [00:41] replacing the fan is usually the best long term solution [00:41] cab938_home, thank you for the fix ;) [00:41] sokak, Just thought oil everywhere might not be as intended :) [00:41] Sokak There's a problem with all three. I've done the compressed air, I don't know where I would buy machine oil or how to apply it to the bearings, and I can't afford to buy a new fan. I also can't find out how to open the damn thing. I've taken every screw out and the components that aren't fixed to the board. [00:41] XFCE has long been weak for DE machines, and Canonical is positioning this as a distribution is "for slower machines." [00:42] Disregard the not knowing how to put it on. You told me [00:42] TheDuck, only way i can point you is youtube. Search your puter brand + dismantling [00:42] I have a question. [00:42] bad translate prog sorry [00:42] TheDuck, there you will find also useful kinds of visual tutorials for fan fixing and stuff [00:42] !ask | Mariorocksyourli [00:42] Mariorocksyourli: 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 [00:43] XFCE is now not suitable for older machines. [00:43] Crap. I can't get youtube working on this system. It's about 13 years old now. [00:43] Is it possible to put the screen resolution on ubuntu at 1366 x 768 [00:43] Mariorocksyourli$ yes it is. [00:43] TheDuck, i feel you :* I hope you have at least a smartphone :* [00:43] thank you! :) [00:43] Mariorocksyourli$ in a terminal run cvt 1366 x 758 [00:44] err [00:44] 1366 768 [00:44] No longer suitable. Xubuntu just slows down for them. A Lubuntu works fine and fast. Then what is the meaning of the sponsor Xubuntu? [00:44] I do not. Hell I don't even have the new update for my Xblow to get youtube working on it. [00:44] i might be installing ubuntu on my other computer that is a old compaq 2003 desktop pc.. windows xp is having errors with disk defragment. xD [00:44] TheDuck: a new CPU fan is perhaps €10, what's too expensive about that? chances are that for that money you'll even get a shiny new box w/ fan _and_ heatsink [00:45] Why are you all silent? [00:45] a 13 year old laptop, eh? [00:45] yikes [00:45] cab938_home, This system is 13. [00:45] What is your opinion? [00:45] My laptop is a year old. [00:45] oh, a laptop? that makes matters more complicated [00:45] if it's a desktop computer, that's quite easy [00:45] Then tube on your laptop xD [00:45] I guess I missed it, I thought you were taking apart a laptop, if it's a desktop then it certainly should come apart with screws [00:45] And it's not cheap for me, Szal.

[01:04] TheLegace: with an s [01:04] milamber: no, without the s [01:04] daftykins: nop, i think I may have found them, in syslog [01:05] unable to locate package [01:05] chilli0: ah-har, that one slipepd my mind :D [01:06] TheLegace: what version of ubuntu? [01:06] !info build-essential natty [01:06] build-essential (source: build-essential): Informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.5ubuntu1 (natty), package size 5 kB, installed size 48 kB [01:06] 11.04 [01:07] guys [01:07] This driver is not working... everytime I reboot it needs to be reinstalled [01:07] TheLegace: can you pastebin your sources.list? [01:07] ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver [01:07] i had just used the generated one [01:07] Screw it. I'm making my own package. [01:07] what is the problem with the open-source drivers mody? [01:08] it doesnt work [01:08] I've spent way too long ******* with this package. [01:08] the 3d is working properly [01:08] is not working properly? [01:08] because that driver isn't working on the laptop [01:08] Yes [01:08] sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt [01:09] then I have to install it again [01:09] milamber, ya it looked like my sources.list was fucked up, but i dont know why i generate it all the time from the site [01:09] thats crappy...i am also frustrated by ATI's drivers. [01:09] cause it shows as not active driver [01:09] i use the opensoruce ones [01:09] there we go i got it [01:09] any alternative driver? [01:09] meeh i dont need anythign restricted anyway [01:09] so ill just leave it [01:09] you can still get the newest ATI driver on their website and test if that works: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx [01:10] silly question - do you have DKMS installed as well? [01:10] download the .run file make it executable and start it. if it does not work /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh [01:10] TheLegace: you getting the package now? [01:10] milamber, ya no worries ill try and regenerate the list again [01:11] i might have added some extra things [01:11] that shouldnt need to be ther [01:11] what is DKMS [01:11] TheLegace: you shouldn't have to "regenerate" [01:11] mody DKMS is the kernel module that is loaded. but it is usualy installed together with the drivers so no special worries about that [01:12] i would try the newest ati driver...or google about your computer model and ubuntu [01:15] i agree with user82 [01:16] maybe trying to purge the actual drivers and restart them from scratch? [01:16] how do I know if I have 32 bit or 64 [01:16] ? [01:16] mody, uname-a [01:16] mody, grep flags /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm [01:17] mody, if the grep cpuinfo command comes back with any output you have a "long-mode" aka 64bit processor [01:18] escott, i gave a solution to see whats currently installed instead. === paxtoncamaroafk is now known as paxtoncamaro91 [01:20] is there a reason the respository is so low [01:20] its at 204kb/s when my speed is like 20 times that [01:21] TheLegace, im topping at 62 kbps, and im happy with that :) [01:21] ya well when you pay for 16mpbs doesnt make you happy when speed is slow [01:21] TheLegace, your whole internet is so slow? [01:21] no speed test is fine [01:22] im just a speed whore [01:22] TheLegace, do you pay for repositories? [01:22] and i dont want to wait i have work to do [01:22] sokak, im not complaining that their slow, i just want to know if theres like yum where i can somehow find the fastest mirror [01:22] !mirrors | TheLegace [01:22] TheLegace: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Oneiric, and help keeping the servers' load low! [01:22] :) [01:22] because in fedora i can at least switch the mirrors === psharmor is now known as KD0MKB [01:22] okie thanks [01:22] daftykins: Hey, I couldn't seem to get it working still. Do you know any good tutorials? [01:23] i have no clue :) still im happy with it because they use my whole bandwidth ^^ [01:24] chilli0: i'm afraid not, only looked at openvpn once and didn't get far [01:24] TheLegace: you can switch mirrors on the installed system [01:24] stpid question, but I'm tired.... what the term cmd to rename a file again? [01:24] stupid** [01:25] Dj_FlyBy[ms]: mv - "move" it [01:25] :) [01:25] unless you mean Windows "cmd" [01:25] then "ren" [01:25] Ubuntu :) [01:25] no winblows in this house... errr, I mean windows [01:25] easily made typo ^_^ [01:26] and I notice I made a mistake in my question... I meant to ask how to rename a directory (I just want to add the . to hide it) [01:26] the answer is again mv u.u [01:27] kk, thx [01:27] ok** [01:27] download the .run file [01:27] How do I run it? [01:28] chmod+x then ./namefile.run [01:28] the only solutions i can find use synaptic and i cant use synaptic [01:28] mody: or double click on it [01:28] sokak, watch your spaces. mody chmod +x filename.run then ./filename.run [01:29] Hello! just installed ubuntu 10.10 in my Samsung n148-dp03 netbook ubuntu already runs but i dont have wireless. [01:29] escott, youre right. I was meaning it without explicitly typing it :) [01:29] ok nvm just got synaptic to work [01:29] TheLegace, you can directly edit your /etc/apt/sources.lit [01:29] Thanks sokak [01:30] you were very helpful [01:30] escott has part in this too - follow literally my hints and shell will swear at you [01:31] you were very helpful [01:31] mody, everyone here is helpful, im just the last wheel [01:32] I know they are [01:33] micro sd card will only mount ro, nosuid, how do I get it to mount rw ? [01:33] poking fstab? [01:34] wx9j, what kind of filesystem is it [01:35] hello [01:35] mm... [01:35] escott, it says vfat when I run mount but it says msdos in preferences [01:36] Hello, is there anyway I can check if I have any vpns running on my server, i tried to setup openvpn and another one but not sure if they are properly removed and are now interfering with my current vpn. [01:37] Does anybody know why blogpost.com is loopback? Or, is it a virus? [01:37] wx9j, vfat is msdos + long filenames [01:38] escott, this will mount rw on a pad but not in linux [01:39] cbart: i'm not sure how that's an ubuntu question... [01:39] wx9j, things to check. these sd cards might have read-only toggles physically on the device (like the old floppy write protect). also fsck the filesystem, and send us the output of mount and your attempt to remount it rw [01:39] Oh beloved Ubuntu netizens, could you save me from a cruel basic fate. [01:39] i have one problem, i can't run ubuntu, when i press the ubuntu option on my grub, after wait, it shows a screen similar like this: http://deimproviso.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/initramfs_bug_1.png [01:39] fdisk [01:39] roycebarber: just ask your question >. [01:39] >.> * [01:40] EvilResistance: I use ubuntu. I was making sure it wasn't a weird networking ubuntu only implementation [01:40] escott, /dev/sdc1 on /media/F84E-1690 type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks) [01:41] I searched how can i resolve this problem, and i found the followin form: "use the CD live and do ..." but when i try to use a CD Live i can't, the CD Live rules, but when i press Enter in the option "star or install ubuntu" the screen show me another time the (intramfs) prompt... [01:41] Ah good an alive room. :D Okay so I bought PureBasic, the programming environment. I got the 32bit edition. But its bugging out on Ubuntu and on Lubuntu. It runs fine on windows. It opens in Ubuntu, but when I try to load an example chunk of code, the interface flashes in and out like it's struggling to stay stable. This may not be an ubuntu question. T_T' [01:42] my english sucks, nobody is understand, true? XD [01:42] wx9j, and what happens when you try sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/F84E-1690 [01:43] BussyBox, whats your mother tongue xD [01:44] sokak, catalan [01:44] but i can speake spanish too [01:44] BussyBox, ill pass, italy here :) [01:44] Fancy. Spanish is very close to English. [01:44] escott, sudo mount -0 remount,rw/media/F84E-1690 [01:44] [sudo] password for jim: [01:44] mount: invalid option -- '0' [01:44] Usage: mount -V : print version [01:44] mount -h : print this help [01:44] mount : list mounted filesystems [01:44] mount -l : idem, including volume labels [01:44] wx9j: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:45] wx9j, thats an oooh not a zero [01:45] not much roycebarber .. [01:45] BussyBox, your english is understandable. Which version of linux you use to boot live? [01:45] sokak, i have ubuntu 10.04 on my drive disk, but i used the Ubuntu 7.04 to Live CD [01:45] I don't imagine any of you are PureBasic users. The PureBasic support chat is deaaaaad. [01:46] I would go to the terminal and type rm -r [01:46] BussyBox, try a more recent version to boot live, that may make things easier [01:47] sokak, i think this is not the problem, but i will try it === piglet is now known as BarkingFish [01:48] escott, it says it cannot mount a device and goes on with a list of options I do not understand [01:48] wx9j: it's o, not zero [01:49] Daz , thx, I did correct that error. still cannot mount in RW [01:49] How do I remove wireless AP's that I have connected to before in gnome-shell? [01:50] wx9j: spacebar after rw? [01:50] Can anyone help me to setup a vpn server using pptp? or link me to a good new tutorial.. [01:52] wx9j, please paste the error [01:52] escott, cannot remount block device /dev/sdc1 read-write, is write-protected [01:53] wx9j, it is write protected thats why. [01:53] hay [01:53] wx9j, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_remove_write_protection_from_a_mini_SD_card [01:53] wait, do micro sd have a write protect physical switch as well? [01:54] sokak, yes [01:54] escott, thank you I will check that out, this card is not write protected on my android tablet [01:54] sokak, well i dont know about micros, but sd certainly do [01:54] escott, thats cool, im reading it [01:54] learning process never ends [01:54] wx9j, i would physically inspect the card to make sure [01:55] so all you are hacker :) [01:55] the card has an adaptor that has a lock but in both positions it reads the same. I do not think the micro card has a lock. [01:56] sokak, wx9j apparently the micro sd adapter is what has the write protection [01:56] thats it then :o [01:56] wx9j, it could be a bad adapter [01:57] hello everyone, Firefox doesn’t recognize that my computer is connected to my wifi after I wake from suspend. I have to use system monitor to kill it and then restart it. is there a fix for this issue? [01:57] wx9j, rule of thumb is to not stack adapters usually, the less its in the middle, the betetr they work [01:57] escott, you are correct, I will check another adapter [01:57] FlintWestWood, tried to uncheck work offline in Firefox menu? O.o [01:58] It acts like its loading and when i close it with out killing it, and try to open it again, it says that there is another firefox instance already running [01:58] escott, thanks for your help, I will check with another adapter . [01:58] can anyone help i install quicken with wine but got a error 7014 [01:58] and it does not load pages [01:59] FlintWestWood, check that in firefox profile folder there isnt no lock file (with Firefox closed) then try again. Uncheck work offline first. If it doesnt works, try a new firefox profile. [02:00] HI, in which file I have to enter commands which are always processed before any network card goes online? (also after suspend, hybernate) [02:00] tru3fate: maybe try windows in virtual box, and install quicken that way [02:01] According to update manager and Muon (kde's update manager) I have updates pending. Muon bombs when trying to update, update manager won't in the kde environment and cli says there are no updates.. ??? How do I remedy this? [02:01] tru3fate, no hints on winehq database? [02:03] tresk, /etc/pm/*.d for the suspend sleep scripts [02:04] Trying to break my system, advice? [02:04] NVM.. all of a sudden cli started working.. [02:04] Starting first with killing init, kill init and killall 1 wont work [02:04] is there a simple tool with which I can add artwork to mp3s? Audio tag tool doesn't support it and neither does 'Ex falso' [02:04] travisHAZE, here we *solve* problems... [02:05] sokak, and I'm trying to LEARN [02:05] ;P [02:05] travisHAZE: maybe ask in your loco channel [02:06] My loco channel? [02:06] travisHAZE: http://loco.ubuntu.com/ [02:07] hello friends ,i am new to kvm i have installed kvm on ubuntu 10.04 and i have installed windows xp on that but i fail to configure networking [02:07] escott: these are the scripts which are executed before the PC enters teh related state? [02:07] tresk, the scripts have a specific format and are run on both freeze and thaw [02:07] Ok, got a new ubuntu... same issue. [02:07] samba23, try the non ose of virtualbox, does wonders [02:07] How do you get the version of ubuntu from console? [02:08] Pray [02:08] Maquiavelo: cat /etc/issue used to work [02:08] sokak: sorry i don't understand non ose of virtualbox /i dont know [02:08] escott: ok, sounds good. So the power.d is the one which is executed before "ifconfig wlan up" eg. ? [02:09] escott: I mean at boot time . [02:09] Maquiavelo, also lsb_release -a may work [02:09] Okey, I got lucid 10.04. Is it supported still ? [02:10] I just built a c++ program from source. Where is it customary to place the executable in Ubuntu so that it is available by all users? [02:10] samba23, im lazy about virtualizaion. Virtualbox non OpenSource Edition comes out of the box with easy usb and network support. [02:10] ok [02:10] virtualbox from oracle [02:10] Okey, ubuntu version, 10.04 (Lucid). I connect a microsd card, the system sees it, scans it, mounts it, and then disconnects it. [02:11] samba23, all other virtualization systems are cool as well, i've just found that virtualbox is less a pita to configure. [02:11] tresk, i dont know what power.d directory does sleep.d seems to have hibernate,suspend,resume,thaw targets [02:11] ok [02:11] lduros, /usr/local/bin [02:11] escott: ok, and to store the source /usr/local/src? [02:12] hi people [02:12] Okey, ubuntu version, 10.04 (Lucid). I connect a microsd card, the system sees it, scans it, mounts it, and then disconnects it. I plug the card in Windows and it works fine. [02:12] escott: thanks [02:12] escott: ok, thanks anyway I'll trz it out with the good old try&error method :) [02:12] ubuntu rulez :) [02:12] how can i make ubuntu use the windows time system? (not utc) [02:12] zeppo: in timezone put local [02:13] k [02:13] Maquiavelo: i had an issue with my sd card reader, i assume it was a driver issue. haven't messed with it in awhile though [02:14] as in windows we have RDP ,in ubuntu what is best tool/application [02:14] samba23, X11 is already network aware. just ssh -X [02:15] Just type rm -r in terminal [02:15] samba23, if your bandwidth is constrainted there are some more efficient variants like NX (FreeNX) or you can always use vnc === paulw_ is now known as pwelch04 [02:16] Maquiavelo, anything in kern.log === icedtea is now known as fearlesspancakes [02:17] Is there a command to kill every running process without shutting the pc down? [02:18] killall something [02:18] Hello. [02:18] My first question is: Does using dash versus bash effect the execution speed of programs and utilities? [02:18] travisHAZE, yes just shutdown but dont hald the processor [02:18] Thats an interesting question travisHAZE [02:19] It is, isn't it sokak? [02:19] evildaemon, not unless the script is a shell script, and you wont find many big time consuming shell scripts [02:19] how to easily set a static ip for my wireless network on my ubuntu box (my router set it with dhcp but i want the ip to be always 192.168.1.50 for example)? === gary_ is now known as Guest26856 [02:20] wip$ does your router have address reservation w/ dhcp? like you can set a mac address to always be the same IP. that usually works. [02:20] wip, if you want to use dhcp on your router configure the router to give out the same lease to your mac address every time [02:21] travisHAZE, if that is meant to shut other users processes, you may simply change runlevel i guess. [02:21] * wip is looking for mac address in router [02:21] Better yet: Is there a good document thats pretty all-inclusive on learning Linux? [02:21] Like A-Z and 0 - 392845091785230 [02:22] Hell, why start at 0? [02:22] travisHAZE$ the man pages are pretty good. for command line programs. like man programname [02:22] i have no answer for that travisHAZE but google is a good start to gather the scattered papers. [02:22] the man pages help me learn how to use a command [02:22] escott: fyi, mabe I use the /etc/init.d/network script for normal up and down modes and the /etc/pm scripts for suspend eg. [02:22] It doesn't tell me all of the commands [02:22] travisHAZE: all of the commands? compgen -c -f [02:22] Or tab twice. [02:22] travisHAZE, if you want useful commands, go to commandlinefu.com. Its handful. [02:24] OK so theres a start: the commands [02:24] Probably the biggest part [02:24] plenty. [02:24] I wanna do some tunnelling over SSH. [02:24] thats the motherlode of shell snippets. [02:24] Any takers? [02:24] How about if I wanted to design my own program? [02:25] am I still here [02:25] Learn python. [02:25] travisHAZE, the best starting point is to learn existing ones, then learn how to combo them scripting. then you can move to learn programming languages. [02:25] nice yea good idea, I should dive into python [02:25] Baby steps are a good idea [02:25] But even a baby needs a hand to hold [02:25] So where can I find this proverbial hand to hold? [02:26] yeah, learn them, use them, combine them, then build whats missing. [02:26] Also travisHAZE, you can press tab twice. [02:26] evildaemon, got that one [02:26] try Kturtle [02:26] The benefit of compgen is that you can direct the outpit to places. [02:26] *output [02:26] hello ! [02:27] I am playing around with Celestia so I can write some scripts for it [02:27] I love that App [02:28] nothing liberates quite like astral traveling [02:28] then dont miss celestia motherlode, google for it. [02:29] Anyway, I once saw a grep script that took 9 minutes to execute. [02:29] What is an #ifdef? [02:29] The dude eventually realized he had to do the --lang=C option. [02:29] evildaemon, it all depends on how much data you grep === Guest15299 is now known as zemon [02:30] Of course, that was on a solaris related system. [02:30] Not Linux. [02:30] travisHAZE, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_preprocessor [02:31] wiki is full of stuff. [02:31] It is. [02:31] Wiki actually has a surprising amount of general unix knowledge. [02:32] yeah, a handy place to gather papers. [02:32] So an #ifdef is a conditional inclusion of a macro definition? [02:32] Arch wiki is pretty awesome. [02:32] Arch phylosophy is - they dont thell you just what, but why and how. [02:33] the non profit I work for has an astronomy program, so I wanted to put together sort of a "tour of the universe" [02:33] I think that the Ubuntu wiki needs more TLC. [02:33] showing where we are in the milky way galaxy [02:33] just thinking it wont help - arch is what is because of active contributions ;) [02:34] Anyway, my second question was: in 11.10 (I tried both Unity-buntu and Xubuntu) my wireless won't connect. It will broadcast, it will pick up signal, but not connect. [02:34] evildaemon, which chipset you have? [02:34] I've tried two different adapters. [02:34] And a built-in card. [02:34] Same results. [02:35] focus on one, and lets try to see whats going wrong. [02:35] and If I can't write a script then at the least I can fly around and operate it myself [02:35] horse1bun, thats all great, but we are in #ununtu, not #celestia ;) [02:35] horse1bun: worth looking at stellarium maybe [02:35] *eats the n and spews a b [02:36] oh sorry I thought the two were related somehow [02:36] somsip, stellarium is just a different point of view of Celestia ;) [02:36] sokak: as soon as you mentioned celestia I realised that was the one I meant to recomment :) [02:37] i agree horse1bun its just that we should keep ubuntu issue related somehow, but im not the channel op, so please feel free to ignore me ;3 [02:37] so ubuntu has nothing to do with celestia, i thought ubuntu made it [02:38] I'm just one of those leechers here for the free software [02:38] Can someone explain open-source to horse1bun? [02:38] horse1bun: celestia is written by a group of people and they make it freely available. ubuntu makes a package of their software available for users of ubuntu [02:39] yea that's kind of what I thought [02:39] I just didn't want to sound stupid [02:39] hey hey - lets not fight about that - at the very end we are here to enjoy and help right? My apologies horse1bun if i stinged a nerve [02:40] no it's okay I was just a bit confused [02:40] :) [02:40] The card is a broadcom corporation BCM4321 [02:41] Yeah I know, broadcom. [02:41] It's worked in previous versions, and I tried a linksys. So thats not the problem./ [02:41] all software available on ubuntu is like modular software packages all developed separately just able to function on the operating system? [02:41] Yup. [02:41] what do i do about this error? "Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit." [02:41] horse1bun$ alot of stuff depends on other stuff though [02:41] Including Linux itself. === Nuit is now known as rhun [02:42] And core packages that make up the GNU part of GNU/Linux [02:42] Ubuntu is Mark shuttleworths fork of Debian. [02:42] evildaemon, i would give the drivers they offer a try, if jockey isnt able to find appropriate ones http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [02:42] Which is a system made from the GNU utilities and the Linux kernel. [02:42] oh yea I remember seeing the linux evolution tree [02:43] sokak, Jockey DOES, it still doesn't connect. === matt_ is now known as Guest72890 [02:43] What part of "The problem persists across devices" don't you understand? [02:44] ^^ [02:44] then try to peep here, evildaemon http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861220 [02:44] yea I just managed to get my broadcom wireless pci working in Lucid [02:45] we can survive the broadcom omen :| [02:45] I tried ndiswrapper but then ran into a problem because nidiswrapper (file) is supposed to be named ndiswrapper.conf [02:46] THE PROBLEM ISN'T BROADCOM! (And that thread isn't my issue.) [02:46] whilst trying to sort that out, I found out broadcom released an open source driver [02:46] It worked in 10.10 [02:46] i always fixed it quick and dirty with ralink adapters (branded d-link) [02:46] or rather a proprietary supported [02:47] and on top of that. [02:47] The card detects networks, is recognized as a device, and broadcasts. [02:47] It just won't connect to other networks. [02:47] now I finally have it functioning, but for some reason it shows up as eth0 instead of wlan [02:48] :| Always fixed such issues trying to make a new connection from scratch, or poking like suggested in those threads :| [02:48] and everytime I start the computer I have to type sudo modprobe wl to get the wireless working [02:48] horse1bun, same here, on an eeepc, but im not giving a damn, it works [02:48] same here lol [02:48] ahh, thats odd, its not happening to me [02:49] i dont have to do the modprobe thingy [02:51] test [02:51] one of those times where I'm not sure how I got it to work even, just kept trying stuff until it did, lol [02:52] but maybe I should just get a newer distro [02:53] my rule of thumb is "dont poke it if works" [02:54] My rule of thumb is [02:54] Poke it until it breaks, then poke it some more [02:54] theire both good :) [02:54] my rule of thumb is: "keep it from getting cut off." [02:54] That was how I got my first kill [02:54] I poked this one person to death with a stick [02:54] ask some question about cron. /etc/crontab, has this line:45 10 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ), but the scripts in cron.daily never run. If change to: 45 10 * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily, scripts run! why? [02:54] whoa stickfights? [02:54] No [02:54] I was just poking him [02:55] Can someone help? I can't install software because i get this error: W: GPG error: http://ftp.us.debian.org wheezy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AED4B06F473041F [02:55] Eventually he keeled over and died [02:55] So I kept poking [02:55] Cause I hadn't poked a dead body [02:55] were you hazing them? [02:55] lol [02:55] Haze is the middle name ma momma gave me [02:55] I'm trying to setup a mail exchange server (i guess). I have a dyndns/free domain for my apache2 server right now (only service i'm familiar with). I just want to be able to setup a mx mail service so I can have a new email system on my machine/server. Which one should I use, I'm thinking pop3, but there's many options, what is the best??? [02:56] pop3 leaves it on the server [02:56] And you download a copy [02:56] travisHAZE: that's up to the pop3 client. [02:56] Does anyone know of a good Client Server for host domain email accounts? [02:56] Pop3 leaves a copy on the server [02:56] l1nuxman, read here http://en.kioskea.net/faq/809-debian-apt-get-no-pubkey-gpg-error [02:56] Its the IMTP or w/e it is that erases it [02:56] travisHAZE: the client can delete it. [02:56] so do you guys know anything about setting it up? Do I need to use evolution, or are there terminal based servers/ui thingy's that are better. [02:56] it's just mail.. [02:57] No, its Email [02:57] not just mail [02:57] travisHAZE: http://www.korokithakis.net/tutorials/email/ [02:58] Does anyone know of a good server client i could download for hosting Domain adressed emails? [02:58] ah so mail is local network and email is remote... didn't know they had to differentiate, that's lame, you can't combine the service into one solution/ [02:58] email accounts* [02:59] I tried setting up my router dyn service and the DynDNS account (which is mcurran-exploit.dyndns.org) to mail.mcurran-exploit.dyndns.org [02:59] swede, thats not an auto delete [02:59] Thats a manual thing [02:59] nac4l: email can be delivered to a A pointer as well, so just use mcurran-exploit.dyndns.org. [03:00] travisHAZE: neither IMAP nor POP3 has auto delete. it's always an action by the client. [03:00] Then an IMAP client is programmed to automatically delete said email once it receives them [03:01] travisHAZE: some might be, but that's not the standard. [03:01] Outlook, evolution, thunderbird all do it automatically for IMAP [03:01] only email clients I've used [03:02] travisHAZE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol "E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. This and other characteristics of IMAP operation allow multiple clients to manage the same mailbox." [03:02] gppdbye everyone, rl time u.u [03:02] thank ou sokak that did it [03:02] msg nickserv identify 89chevygeek11 [03:02] yw l1nuxman [03:02] I specifically use IMAP because it erases the emails from the server once it retrieves them [03:02] skegeek: good one. [03:02] ?? [03:02] skegeek: interesting #fail [03:02] Crap [03:03] travisHAZE: there might be some default in there, but there is nothing in the protocol that says that. [03:03] system cannot see my usb hard drive dock... is there potential for a solution? [03:03] POP3 has always left the mail on the server while IMAP always deleted it [03:03] (For me at least) [03:04] travisHAZE: well, that might be your experience with the defaults in your specific clients you've tried, but there is nothing general by those protocols that says this is always the case. [03:04] travisHAZE: Thats generally the opposite, actually. [03:05] after making a file executable using chmod +x if i type the file name in the CLI says command not found, if i double click it via nautilus it says must be run as root, what's the proper way to execute a file as root once its been made executable? [03:06] What is foo? [03:06] Flannel, sorry I'm against the grain unwittingly. SwedeMike I will admit I know nothing of the inherent defaults associated with each of these protocols, I was speaking from personal experience [03:07] usb device does not show up in lsusb. how can i force detect?

[03:11] Guest26856: i have some notes on wpa_supplicant somewhere that may help you [03:11] there is config.c and config.h but they don't have the kind of script the gyide shows [03:12] Guest26856: i think you want /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [03:13] well the next step after that they say Next edit "wpa_supplicant.conf" and add a section similar to the following, [03:13] so I think they are 2 different files completely [03:14] what I'm stuck on is - Configure wpa_supplicant with the following options set in ".config" file === Slokun is now known as RandomGuy === RandomGuy is now known as RandomGuy8910 [03:17] i have startdup xrdp and from windows i am using mstsc/rdp i am able to get remote screen but keys seems to be messed non of key printing right [03:18] in 11.10 how do I add widgets to my top bar/panel?

[03:29] seidos, that is for animation bst [03:30] i try vnc cleint also it give me blank screen [03:31] Hi all. Never used IRC before, so will try not to annoy anyone. I've been reading around online for about an hour trying to solve a problem, and thought maybe it would be more useful if someone might help me? [03:31] chester: ask away [03:31] chester: on irc we prefer that you just ask your question. If someone can help, they'll respond [03:32] where can I find help on setting up a mail server, maybe with pop3 (not sure), and have the ability to send and receive email from my machine, and use ADDRESS as my free dyndns account "mcurran-exploit.dyndns.org"? [03:32] I just installed Ubuntu on an ooold dekstop system at my work. When I logged in for the first time, it looked like the desktop was too big. [03:32] Is Unity the reason for the menu on the left? [03:32] I assume it's a resolution issue, so I've been trying to figure out how to modify my xconf.org [03:32] Everything I've found is way to in depth already and I'm a noob at exchange mail shit. [03:33] jrib, if i drag a file it just copy, and i cant see any paste option by right-clicking. [03:33] should I use evolution or a terminal based email server/client. And is there any simple tutorials on setting one up? I though there is already several email services installed by default in ubunutu, can I use htose? [03:34] How do I write an xconf.org file to make my screen resolution higher? [03:34] nac4l: maybe start with evolution, and go to a cli one later? [03:34] setup a display section in xorg.conf, [03:35] @nac4l, how do I know what to include in the display section? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:36] Hi. Gnome-shell hard crashes on me a few times a day. I have to hold power to power off the laptop. What log files or diagnostics can I run to determine the root? [03:36] chester: if your using unity you can click the top right corner and choose system settings [03:38] I can't get Ubuntu to stop freezing when it's been idle for a few minutes. [03:39] @robin0800, the display is not detected, and the only resolution to choose is 640x480\ === gary_ is now known as Guest13435 [03:40] heh. i'm ircing on my ipod toich [03:41] java [03:42] could someone please tell me how i can add .pc file to the pkg-config [03:42] system [03:43] in preferences and sound i raised the level on my microphone and ran a test on skype and still no sound? [03:43] what do i do? [03:49] is there any reason ubuntu only show 1 core? [03:50] cordor: you only have one core? [03:51] cordor: what processor? [03:52] found a sempron 145, unlocked and booted up, but only 1 core there. [03:52] semprons only ever were single core i thought [03:53] daftykins: "unlocked" [03:53] yep single [03:53] cordor: what relevance does the multiplier state have to core count? :) [03:54] I tried installing compiz, but a weird thing happens: first of all, alt+tab doesn't work at all (even if I enable 'static application switcher'); and the cube is just a two-sided sheet. [03:54] Do you know how to resolve this? [03:54] install simple-ccsm and tweak it to how you want [03:54] you need four workspaces to have a cube of course ;) [03:55] I have four before I run "compiz -replace ccp", but it turns it into 2. [03:55] simple-ccsm? I'll try that. [03:56] I get "Package simple-ccsm is not available, but is referred to by another package." when I try apt-get. [03:56] daftykins: core and multiplier are 2 things. [03:56] cordor: different things yep [03:56] hh: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [03:57] I installed it a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure. I think 11.something... [03:57] i havn't touch multiplexer yet, i only unloaded the core. [03:57] hh: `lsb_release -a` in a terminal will tell you [03:58] i was hoping if it works. i will do it on the other cpu. [03:58] 11.10 [03:58] Hey guys, I was going to attempt to install ubuntu 64 on top of an existing 32 bit install [03:58] And I was thinking about how I could most quickly get back to the env I was accustomed to [03:59] hh: So, the reason you can't install simple-ccsm is because it doesn't exist in 11.10. I'm not sure what a replacement would be though, unfortunately. [03:59] sooo. I figured I could note down every package installed right now [03:59] Hmmm... [03:59] ideally ones that I chose to install [03:59] how best could I get that list? [03:59] gnome shell crashed on me (11.10) and is not reloading. i dont have a window manager or anything, but I can start programs (but not switch between them) by browsing the filesystem and double clicking the executables. given that, how do i restart gnome-shell? [03:59] sudo apt-get install xxxxx but ideally not including pulled in dep yyyyy [04:00] blarney: open a terminal [04:00] type gnome-shell [04:00] :) [04:00] gnome-terminal that is [04:00] that's how I did it [04:01] ah, that makes sense... [04:01] blarney: since gnome-shell was crashing on me once a minute I actually put into terminal while((1));do gnome-shell;done [04:01] until it got too annoying [04:01] I'm on XFCE4 now [04:01] nemo: thanks ill kill chromium and try that [04:01] blarney: I was using fglrx FWIW [04:01] how do i get my sound to work in skype ? === Exio is now known as Exio4|Away [04:01] nemo: how is XFCE? I tried it years ago and it seemed to be horrendously outdated and nothing was integrated... [04:01] blarney: gotten a bit better [04:02] blarney: can't hurt to install it if you have 125MiB to burn [04:02] i already uped the volume in my sound preferences [04:02] I find it requires fewer mouse clicks than Unity, and is less inclined to do WTF things like resize my terminal when I flip between desktops and machines (synergy2) [04:02] ImTheDude: try running a sound test within skype (you may want to put your volume at bout 50%) and follow the instructions. that has worked for me whenever ive used skype. [04:03] blarney: BTW. another thing I hated about gnome-shell - I like translucent terminals, but junk on my desktop and in windows behind them makes it hard to read the text [04:03] blarney: in Unity and gnome2 w/ compiz, you can enable blurring of translucent windows [04:03] nemo: ah, thanks, the mouse travel in G3 and the number of clicks to do anything in unity is driving me up a wall. ill see what i can do with XFCE. [04:03] * qovii recently moved to xfce from fluxbox and loves it [04:03] blarney: breaks up sharp lines in text behind terminal windows - as far as I can tell, this is impossible in gnome-shell [04:03] i ran test on skype and i raised the volume in my sound preferences and still no sound. [04:04] blarney: gnome-shell was more usable w/ the mint gnome shell extensions [04:04] blarney: you can get those from the webupd8 ppa [04:04] nemo: yeah, i dont know why theyre in love with that, it really has to be a subtle blending to work well [04:04] theres not a pluging is there [04:05] nemo: so the webupd8 ppa is alright then? i hadnt heard of them before and i didnt want their ppa messing with stuff [04:05] * nemo shrugs [04:05] blarney: seems fine to me [04:05] * qovii decides ircing on ipod tou h is suboptimal [04:05] blarney: they have a gnome3 specific one - check their blog [04:05] ImTheDude: im sorry, i didnt understand what you last said - is there or is there not a plugin? [04:05] nemo: ah, thanks, will do [04:05] qovii: heh. when I IRC on the android tablet, I plug in my desktop keyboard. [04:05] qovii: yay for USB support :) [04:06] ImTheDude: brb === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [04:06] i dont know is there something i need to download from package mannager or software center to help my microphone work better?

[04:07] netbook [04:07] ImTheDude: depending on the audio codec, support under linux is hit or miss. I filed a few bugs against my laptop actually. that was one of them [04:08] so what do i do? [04:08] i running an acer net book with internel speekers [04:08] ImTheDude: well, as I recall, there are a *ton* of variations you can try. apparently the manufacturer implementations are wide and varied [04:08] and sound is not functioning [04:09] ImTheDude: you know, when setting up your codec [04:09] but whether one of those will work is really... well... who knows [04:09] ImTheDude: I'd definitely start at a minimum by filing a bug on launchpad [04:09] so its a shot in the dark [04:09] ImTheDude: try testing an external mic if you can get one. even a cheap $5 one [04:09] ImTheDude: you can also try filing a bug w/ the kernel folks [04:10] but really, it is about waiting on some nice kernel person to do the manufacturer's job for them ;) [04:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/791904 - filed this one for example [04:10] Ubuntu bug 791904 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "Sony VPC-F11 (VPCF11GGX) Internal microphone does not function" [Undecided,New] [04:10] so try external is what your telling is the best plan [04:10] ImTheDude: my mom's internal mic didn't work, but after switching codec settings, it did [04:10] ImTheDude: check launchpad and forum for existing reports for your audio device [04:11] i dont know how or where to do that? [04:11] try the changes to audio module config [04:11] where do i do that and how? [04:11] often times there are settings for it they suggest [04:11] ImTheDude: do you know your audio card? should be listed in lspci [04:11] for example...

I just came by here to get a list of packages. I figured out how to do it, so I'm gonna go work on my new hardware [04:13] ImTheDude: good luck try google, try suggestions on that page, and definitely file a bug [04:13] seeya [04:14] how do screen shot [04:15] usual method, usually [04:17] Is there a lense that fixes unity?

[04:41] Puppy linux is what your dad needs it will run on like 64 megs of ram and its ez to use and fast to install i will run on computers from th 90's [04:42] litropy: try renaming xorg.conf in etc/X11 [04:42] *the [04:42] erek: I don't think it will be too bad if he only uses like a web browser and doesn't multitask much === tum is now known as Guest5805 [04:42] Quick note: no dice in setting things back using the monitor config panel - the custom config just confuses the monitor config panel beyond use. [04:42] wind what about tabs, multiple tabs in a browser [04:42] Query: Is there a way to have Ubuntu auto suspend and unsuspend at specific times? (EG Suspend at midnight and unsuspend at 6am?) [04:42] Hilikus, will do and report back. [04:43] erek: some people have 100 tabs and it's slow, some have a few and it's not much of a difference [04:43] Puppy boots in less than a minute, even in old PCs, and it does not require antivirus software. Administering Puppy is quick and minimal. With Puppy, you just have to take care of your data, which you can easily save to USB flash (Then forget about your operating system!). Your data can be read by other computers. [04:44] erek: why not just try it since other things add up to the experience too, like speed of the hard disk. you could always turn the already installed ubuntu into xubuntu with a few lines [04:44] erek, I am on a Intel® Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz × 2 with 4 Gig RAM, it works but things like google earth is choppy [04:44] Anyone? [04:44] Hmm, okey I just installed ubuntu on a USB Stick as per the instructions. It boots up. It says "Run Ubuntu from this USB" i hit enter, the computer makes a beep noise and returns to the menu. [04:44] newmember: hmm [04:45] You don't have to save data to hard drive to work with Puppy. You can save data to USB flash or even to Internet storage (like www.drop.io ). When installed to USB flash, Puppy consumes only a little over 100 MB, or about 256 MB with OpenOffice. You can use the same USB flash (where Puppy is installed) for saving data. [04:45] erek, kids surf and play flash games fine most of the time [04:45] Query: Is there a way to have Ubuntu auto suspend and unsuspend at specific times? (EG Suspend at midnight and unsuspend at 6am?) [04:46] newmember: i'll give it a shot [04:46] using evolution with M$ exchange server, the calendar part does not work as expected :( anyone tried configuring it, so as to sent the calendar in right format? [04:48] erek, cant hurt, use a live cd if you want to try it fist, or a live usb would be better [04:48] hey there, I would like to know how to make a slice on a string, let's say that I have this: "200M" and I would like to make a slice to convert it to "200", can _awk_ help me with this? [04:49] Query: Is there a way to have Ubuntu auto suspend and unsuspend at specific times? (EG Suspend at midnight and unsuspend at 6am?) [04:49] Linuxnut: what browser does Puppy come with? I was supprised that debian+fluxbox+iceweasel ran very smoothly with heavy sites like facebook, on a 1.13GHz P3 with 768MB :) but it was a bit older firefox with some stripped (and added) features [04:49] newmember: is it better to install directly, or install from live cd [04:50] You can use firefox chrome etc [04:50] newmember: i've installed from live cd a fedora 12, but it seems to be getting "slow" which is odd because linux usually doesn't do that [04:50] i think the desktop kept saving states [04:50] and i wish i could clear the states so no hidden apps were loading [04:50] : Query :: Is there a way to have Ubuntu auto suspend and unsuspend at specific times? (EG Suspend at midnight and unsuspend at 6am?) [04:51] how can i find the path to a spot on my husband's hard drive? he has ubuntu 10.10 [04:51] erek, fedora is slow or another? [04:51] chalce, what "spot" do you want to find? [04:51] urlin2u: fedora 12 got slow after time [04:51] depends on how big the spot is [04:52] trav|zzz, he's got two hard drives, he's got room for my data on one of them [04:52] urlin2u: i think some apps are sort loaded or soemthing from saving states after restarting [04:52] of* [04:52] erek, this channel doen't really cover fedora but #fedora does [04:52] sorry about that [04:52] erek, easy mistake no problem. [04:52] urlin2u: i heard that ubuntu is the best netbook linux distribution [04:52] that's why i am here [04:53] Well the hard drives are going to be marked as sda and sdb [04:53] i figured with netbook specs, a pentium m 1.86GHz 1GB DDR2 fit the bill [04:53] trav|zzz, he's a gui user, i'm command line. i don't understand what he does [04:53] erek, best is a personal thing really. :D [04:53] so you would (I assume, haven't done multiple hds on ubuntu yet, byt read on it) go cd /dev/sda or cd /dev/sdb in the terminal chalce [04:54] oh yes, isn't there that netbook version of ubuntu which is separate? maybe that'd work with an older big laptop too, if it's just for launching a browser [04:54] erek, the unity desktop resemples the original netbook desktop that is probably all really. [04:54] wind, lubuntu is what your thinking of [04:54] resembles* [04:54] Query: Is there a way to have Ubuntu auto suspend and unsuspend at specific times?

[04:55] Your going too far for me [04:55] Sorry :( [04:55] trav|zzz, thanks :) [04:55] np [04:55] i heard the integrated the netbook stuff into 10.04+ [04:55] trav|zzz: you can set up suspend in crontab but waking up is another thing, I think it needs some bios setting if it's even supported on the hardware [04:55] they* [04:55] i appreciate your trying TRAP_1 [04:55] trav|zzz, [04:55] urlin2u: think i can get good performance with unity? [04:56] wind: damn [04:56] erek: if it's slow, remember to try "2D" mode which is unity with less effects (I think) [04:56] 2d unity removes the 3d acceleration [04:56] and removes the transparency IIRC [04:56] ah [04:57] yep, then it's faster if the 3D hardware is slow or drivers bugged [04:57] erek, hard to say not knowing your set up, beyond that some like it some don't, there is a gnome 3 opt5ion as well, and many other desktops. I can't really say what is best for you comfortably...to many varibles. [04:57] urlin2u: pentium m 1.86GHz, 1GB DDR2 [04:57] (some pentium M laptops have real nice gfx chips while some have such you don't want 3D with linux) [04:58] it's got an intel graphics chip [04:59] hey everybody [04:59] How can I watch flash videos in RSS feeds with Mozilla Thunderbird? pls [04:59] erek, you could try ubuntu or even better lubuntu for a ligfhter version.

[06:33] coolstar, git is newer and everyone will say its better [06:33] not everyone will say is better [06:33] i like svn, because i got it working a lot faster and with windows tortoise is super easy [06:33] but more people will say it is better to be sure [06:33] the project is linux only [06:34] and getting my repository on my own shared hosting was way easier [06:34] coolstar: I have used git, svn and mercurial and I feel more comfortable with git [06:34] yamahallex37: Google Code is hosting it, so the setting up is the same [06:34] in that case use git [06:34] i'm using git [06:35] I'm going to vote for SVN [06:35] (just because no one else said to use it) [06:35] should I use GPL 2, GPL 3, or LGPL? [06:35] that really depends on the case by case issue, and what you want done with it [06:36] personally, I would do none of the above, but a BSD style license, but that is my preference [06:41] cvl [06:41] ubu needs a show desktop icon [06:42] Kubu has one ;) [06:48] Should I use GPL 2, GPL 3, LGPL, or BSD?

[07:19] do you guys prefer it === L0C41H05T is now known as HeavyMetal [07:19] oh yeah theres a /etc/rc.local.. i only checked /etc/init.d/rc.local and was alot inthere already, I guess /etc/rc.local is better and should even be perfect for this? === Timic_ is now known as Timic [07:20] netsplit :-D [07:20] nicehs: thats a ok place to put thangs. [07:20] yeah thx just tried,putting it in /etc/rc.local seemed to work [07:20] i never see the splits. ;) [07:20] Something went wrong. I inserted a new script file in /etc/init.d/ and update-init.d it, but it doesn'twork .( [07:21] nicehs: why not just use ufw? [07:23] I wanted to change the MAC of my net devices. Is it probably the wrong place to do it? I also tried /etc/network/if-pre-up.d and inserted a new script there. No success. or do I have to commit changes in that folder somehow? [07:24] tresk: did you restart the network [07:24] ? [07:24] is the unity quicklaunch thing on the left side even made for customizing? [07:25] arunce: yes. I reastarted the hole PC ,) [07:25] yamahaalex37: theres some tweaks and tools for it. omg!ubuntu! blog site mentioned a new one today [07:26] called myUnity i think [07:26] i no longer seem to have access to many settings. is a common recent problem? [07:26] tresk: and you chmod +x? [07:26] mmm, I also changed /etc/interfaces... :( [07:26] arunce: yes, I did it was green in mc [07:26] same chown and chmod like the other scripts [07:27] peggys_mouse: things have been getting reordered.. so it depends on what settings you mean [07:27] yamahaalex37: you seem to want the 2d experience/style menus [07:27] almoxarife, , i just want something customizable [07:27] dr_willis: it isn't that the settings are missing, they are greyed out. locked. [07:27] like with my own shortcuts [07:27] yamahaalex37: shortcuts for what? [07:27] i deleted all the useless shortcuts in the left tasbar almoxarife [07:27] programs i use [07:28] and adding them to that taskbar does not seem trivial [07:28] you can make your own launchers, and pin them to the panel [07:28] yamahaalex37: in that case, install cairo-dock, install gnome-shell, install various progs from kde4 and figure it out [07:28] i just drag/drop or pin them.. [07:28] dr_willis: for instance, if i go to user account settings, the unlock button is now greyed out. i can't edit a user's info. [07:28] i cant drag anything into that taskbar [07:28] tresk: and your script is ok? you have the shebang? [07:29] yamahaalex37: sounds like some bug. check out some of the unity ussage videos perhaps. [07:29] dr_willis, , you can drag stuff into that panel on the far left? [07:29] the one that hides? [07:29] tresk: will it work if you call it? [07:29] im trying to drag AptanaStudio3 over there... not working [07:29] i launch gedit, for examlple, and right click, pin the icon to panel [07:29] arunce: #!/bin/sh .... /usr/bin/macchanger -e eth0 [07:29] and when I put it on my desktop, it doesnt seem to be a shortcut [07:29] yamahaalex37: no dragging? [07:30] arunce: yes it does [07:30] yamahaalex37: it may be that ap has no .desktop file [07:30] the term shortcut is a little.. well windowish. ;) [07:30] arunce: a bit strange, but maybe Ubuntu resets the MAC later on ?! [07:30] make a .desktop launcher file for it. and it should work [07:30] uhhhh... theres no point in avoiding a term nvm [07:31] i can drag it to the desktop [07:31] since that aptana is not installed by the repos. it may be lacking the .desktop file the panel wants [07:31] but then it says missing libraries [07:31] dr_willis: oh, didnt know about ufw.. thx, will check it out and prolly try that next time instead of apf then [07:31] i dont see any option to pin anywhere either [07:31] arunce: I put it at @S15_ .. should be ok, I guess. [07:31] yamahaalex37: it wanst to run from its own directory. [07:31] tresk: try on if-up.d [07:31] dr_willis, where should i see that pin option you said [07:32] yamahaalex37: try pinning and stuff with gedit to see if it works [07:32] arunce: but I can't change the IP it the device is up .. [07:32] arunce: I mean the MAC [07:32] no you can't [07:32] i can right click gedits icon while its open, and say keep in launcher === Guest72332 is now known as Dmitry [07:32] but not Aptana [07:33] tresk: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ [07:33] yamahaalex37: so you needd to make a proper .desktop file for aptana [07:33] how do i do this [07:33] tresk: but you can change it on interfaces [07:33] yamahaalex37: seen guides on it at askubuntu.com [07:33] ok [07:33] and how can i drag one launcher shortcut above another [07:34] tresk: I've one debian and one ubuntu server with that config [07:34] not on unity so i cant tell/dont remember [07:34] arunce: I tried this before, but I'll do it again, who knows maybe typo somewehre [07:35] hey , is there anyone know how to fix this bug of 11.10 : http://goo.gl/TZ2D9 [07:36] bbl [07:36] anyone? I can't click on the "Unlock" button on the system settings pages. I could a few days ago. there have been a lot of updates recently. i thought one of them might be responsible. also, i changed my user name (via the gui) using the Unlock. perhaps the system no longer thinks i'm the user that has the admin privileges? [07:36] that's not a bug... that's a feature! [07:36] arunce: oh I see something the "auto eth0" was missing... [07:37] bucky: what do u mean , everytime i switch my desktop it appear ! [07:37] bucky: when i select to move a program , u were right , but everytime .. no its a bug ! [07:37] arunce: but it'll be nice to randomize the process with macchanger eg. ... but first I try this [07:38] best linux ebook reader? [07:38] tresk$ what you trying to do exactly ? [07:39] Hi, guys [07:39] Is laptop-mode-tools needed now? [07:39] yamahaalex37: as in pdf reader? :f [07:41] hello everyone :) [07:42] hello sokak ;-) [07:42] what is apt-get for flash? [07:42] yamahaalex37$ you know... you could google some of these questions :-) [07:42] question. Can be a good idea to start within a script on startup applications leaking memory, and kill them with a cronjob at regular intervals, using a killall -15? [07:42] Lynda.com.HTML5.Graphics.an ... nvas-QUASAR <-- does it run on ubuntu? [07:43] yamahaalex37: or ask linda.com? [07:43] Hello [07:43] I can't install Google Chrome on Ubuntu 11.10 (x64) [07:43] so i cant... [07:43] How can I solve this problem? [07:44] shark_eye_$ what error? [07:44] MahaVishnu, Wait please [07:44] I will try 'dpkg' [07:44] btw the package is chromium-browser on ubuntu [07:44] Am i doing it wrong? killalling with -15 is a bad idea? [07:45] Sokak: Why don't you use kill -9 pid [07:45] ? [07:46] Im unsure about what put on the minus - i have stuff leaking, and i would like to send just the term signal, not kill them abruptly === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [07:47] anyone know why my unlock button, say on the date and time settings, might be greyed out? it wasn't a few days ago. [07:47] yeehaw, one of the guilty is docky, i kill it on cronjob and let it respawn, is launched by a script [07:48] since it may happen multiple instances of what i wanted to kill, i thought of killall [07:50] hmm.. wel you could us that. Or you could create a deamon for the program and create a cronjob: /etc/init.d/service stop [07:50] that exceeds my shell fu :| [07:51] What kind of program is it? === nanobolic is now known as Guest45017 [07:51] shame on me, im using a gui to not mess my crontab u///u [07:51] yeehaw, one of my next candidates is gwibber - seems to love to chew my ram. [07:52] Well, I really hate thiking of crons too. So mostly I use a caclulator [07:52] yeehaw, im fine with calculating, its just that seems i cant avoid typos when its time [07:52] :P [07:53] i feeel guitarded sometimes :| [07:53] what happens if you use services gwibber-daemon stop [07:53] yeehaw, i like were you weregoing, making demons, any tut on it? [07:54] or /etc/init.d/gwibber-daemon stop [07:54] Google tells me the daemon already existst [07:54] yeah that init.d stuff, any tut for tards outta here? [07:54] -s [07:54] try running /etc/init.d/gwibber-daemon -status in shell [07:55] so basically, i can put in crontab a daemon stop like each .10, and a daemon start each .11 right? [07:55] or /etc/init.d/unity-gwibber-daemon [07:55] hehe old maverick here :P [07:55] What happens if you run /etc/init.d/gwibber-dameon right now? [07:56] says it doesnt exist, i should investigate further. [07:57] hmm. [07:59] writing your own daemon, would require you to have some programming konowledge [07:59] http://www.netzmafia.de/skripten/unix/linux-daemon-howto.html [07:59] sokak: did you spell it right? [08:00] Else go to /etc/init.d [08:00] ls -la | grep gwibber [08:00] or something [08:00] yeah auronandace , prolly i just need to try a fresher gwibber, maverick bears with an old one. The ppa for docky fixed many thing, i should give a look for gwibber as well. [08:06] Slightly off topic - When I ssh into a FreeBSD box using PuTTY, I am able to do the following: Hit a character or two, press up arrow, receive only commands beginning with those few characters. Is this a feature of the OS/shell? If not, and it is a feature of PuTTY, how can I get similar functionality in gnome-terminal? [08:06] yay, the ppa version is much snappier [08:07] Jon--, use the almighty tab key [08:07] anyone have some time to help debug an issue ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/87070/nvidia-gtx-460m-laggy-display/87370#87370 [08:08] sokak, That's not quite what I mean. Up arrow deals with history, that is what I want. [08:08] Ex, python lol.py do 10 more commands on PuTTY I can do 'py *up arrow*', and as long as python lol.py is still in history, it'll auto-complete that, last executed first [08:09] oh nope i guess then, i has standard history [08:09] I don't think it's implemented with history. I have a feeling it's the shell. [08:09] Well, the client, more accurately* [08:10] I was try 'dpkg', and very good [08:11] Jon--, have a look at this http://blog.macromates.com/2008/working-with-history-in-bash/ [08:11] sokak, I run tcsh at work, I highly doubt tcsh is more feature-rich than bash. I have a feeling it's implemented by the shell client, in this case putty. [08:12] i see your point, just all i was able to google about [08:12] when i dont know, i try to find [08:12] You'd think gnome-terminal would have something like this [08:12] Ever since getting used to it, it's hard to go back to not having it [08:12] Hell of a lot faster than h | grep [08:12] Or pressing up arrow 20 damn times [08:13] sokak, Thanks for your assistance anyway [08:13] yw, i love to try at least :) [08:16] Jon--, idiotic question - if you try a echo $SHELL in your putty session, what comes out? [08:16] Bye [08:17] sokak, I'm not at work. 90% sure it'd be tcsh [08:17] Either tcsh or sh === zz_r3v0 is now known as r3v0 [08:19] Then, pardon me if im saying a bestiality Jon-- you should be able to change defaout bash to plain bourne, am i wrong? [08:19] I'm not following === bitmonk__ is now known as bitmonk [08:20] You might be right about it being a feature of the shell. I just find it difficult to believe that that's implemented in tcsh on FreeBSD by default. That would be pretty sweet. [08:21] only god knows :| [08:23] Could not download all repository indexes [08:23] anyone good with bash give me an example of a script that moves folders with a certain file .extension from a dir to a new specified dir ?? [08:24] Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [08:24] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [08:24] Any ideas? [08:24] MahaVishnu, tried yet to peep at commandlinefu.com for that? [08:26] hi. DId anyone install mysql in a chroot environment on ubuntu? I have this problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5056710/running-mysql-in-chroot and I don't understand how to solve it [08:31] sokak$ found this.. mv `find .zip ./` . but its move all files with common extension to current folder. I want to specify the folder [08:31] doritoDan, You have a PPA which is currently down. [08:32] OK. [08:32] What can I do about it? [08:32] MahaVishnu, which folder you want to move them to? [08:32] I'd just wait, it's unity, I'm sure it won't 404 for long [08:32] Hi [08:32] hi conntrack [08:32] Oh. [08:33] That sucks. :( [08:33] But thanks. [08:33] doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:33] greetings [08:33] MahaVishnu: you want to do it recursively? [08:34] does anybody happen to know about getting the VMware tools fully working on a Ubuntu guest? [08:34] with shared folders and all [08:34] sokak$ like I have a folder. /hd2/Downloads and I will have music files extension .FLAC I want to move them to /hd2/Music when I choose with an easy command/script. while preserving there folders/structure. [08:34] sokak the .FLAC files will be in folders I mean and I want to keep the folder names just move them to /hd2/Music but only folders with .FLAC files in them sry if this is confusing. [08:34] DaZ$ see my second statement above for clarity ^ [08:34] MahaVishnu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:35] MahaVishnu, thats pretty clear. The answer wil be a mess ;) [08:35] are there a people some can help me with apache problem [08:36] MahaVishnu, I'll write a one liner for you, hold on [08:36] arlo: #httpd might be a better place for that [08:37] Cannot send to channel: #httpd theadmin [08:37] i write in this forum [08:37] but i can not [08:37] arlo: You need to register [08:37] where? [08:37] MahaVishnu, cd somedir; find . -type f -name \*.FLAC -exec mv {} /hd2/Music \; [08:37] with nickserver but how? [08:37] Oh wait, you want to move entire directories that have flac files? [08:38] im use freenode.net [08:38] That's slightly different [08:38] !register | arlo [08:38] arlo: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [08:38] One sec [08:38] Jon--$ sweet. [08:39] MahaVishnu, That won't preserve directories [08:39] what will it do? [08:39] It will move all .FLAC files into /hd2/Music [08:40] Give me a minute, I'm working on what you asked for. [08:40] kudos Jon-- i think i will make use of it as well :) [08:40] hi. DId anyone install mysql in a chroot environment on ubuntu? I have this problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5056710/running-mysql-in-chroot and I don't understand how to solve it [08:41] I'm not sure I can make such a sexy one-liner anymore ;) [08:41] Jon--$ a script is better for me anyway [08:41] so I can bash alias it to a single letter command. [08:41] It shouldn't be too hard though. Just need a pipe or two. [08:42] MahaVishnu, You can place this in a script bro... [08:43] If you plan on executing this multiple times, I suggest rsync instead, though since it's a mv and not a cp, it's not that important [08:43] hi [08:43] ensi: hello [08:43] i've installed openjdk-6-jdk but i have no javac or other java tools [08:43] Jon--: rsync has a --remove-synced-files (or something) flag so you can make it act like mv [08:44] update-alternatives --config java says "no config" [08:44] I can write this, I'm feeling lazy though. [08:44] whats the trick? [08:44] Yeah I forgot you don't need to change it. [08:44] I don't script too much. [08:44] It doesn't require a ton of man-page hunting [08:44] Jon--: What's the goal anyway? I might do it [08:44] I feel you :) Whenever i have a bullseye oneliner, i note it down as a personal pride [08:45] my script fu is really low [08:45] theadmin$ move all folders in one dir with .FLAC files in them onky. to a second dir [08:45] MahaVishnu: you have the script already? [08:45] theadmin, He wants to find all sub dirs containing *.flac and move those directories recursively into some other directory [08:45] Jon--: Hm, interesting... [08:45] find -name "*.c" -exec mkdir -p /home/daz/derp/{} \; -exec mv {} /home/daz/derp/{} \; this did more or less what you want for me [08:45] just obviously replace .d with .flac and directories with what you want. [08:46] DaZ, that's ugly [08:46] I'm making one now, hold on [08:46] DaZ$ my dirs already exist ? [08:46] hurdur [08:46] but it works [; [08:46] lol [08:46] * theadmin tries to refresh on her Perl skills because it seems to complicated to do with Bash... [08:46] ensi: i'm not a developer, did you try in programming or java groups--if there are any on freenode.. [08:46] yeah, bash can be a biash [08:47] I feel like it would be very ez to do with bash wouldn't it ? [08:47] happygolucky: seems to more like an environment thingy [08:48] hi there. I'm looking for the swift-auth-add-user binary in oneiric; can somebody please tell me where it hides? [08:49] !find swift-auth-add-user [08:49] Package/file swift-auth-add-user does not exist in oneiric [08:49] Madkiss: ^ [08:49] Can you pipe to rsync? [08:49] I'm nearly done [08:50] Jon--: If it can read stdin in some way, sure... [08:51] theadmin, Example? I have a list of directories with flac files, want to pass to rsync via a pipe [08:51] mv cant do the job? [08:52] Jon--: Meh, no rsync fan myself and I can't find anything related in the manpage [08:53] Madkiss, I'm guessing it would be located either in the 'swiss' or 'swiss-account' package. [08:54] MahaVishnu, Here's a start anyway: find . -type f -name '*.flac' |sed 's#\(.*\)/.*#\1#' | sort -ur [08:54] That gives you a list of directories recursively from the current directory which contain .flac files. [08:54] (and sorts them) [08:54] yes it does. [08:55] is it easy to alphabetize that. if not don't worry. and thanks for that code! ill keep it in a safe place. [08:56] Woah... That looks messy xD [08:56] anyone have some time to help debug an issue ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/87070/nvidia-gtx-460m-laggy-display/87370#87370 [08:56] snippet sniped :3 [08:56] lol sokak [08:56] ;-) [08:57] yea that code looks like space alien to me. [08:57] if its bash code, its my treasssure [08:57] MahaVishnu, It's just sniping out the directory from the output of find [08:57] morning,it is possible to block network manager notification (the gconf key "don't send notif when disconnected" don't work) [08:58] and placing them on new lines, of course [08:58] Jon--, one thing i never was able to was the abstract - once i have the snippet, i can "see". [08:58] Arnold: they're both installed, and it's not there :( [08:58] I'm working on project to help get rid of spammers and bots if you would like to help, visit my page here http://hak-lab.co.nr/ [08:58] Linuxnut: Um, that's spam ;) [08:58] Linuxnut: now lets get rid of you [08:58] my pipes gets all twisted :/ [08:58] arunce: !'m back and now it's working. The solution was simply add a new script in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d ... strange I thought I had it before. [08:59] Linuxnut: you've been told the topic of this channel enough times, no more warnings [08:59] ikonia: Oh, (s)he did that before? Didn't know. [08:59] how to associate a proxy config with a wifi network? [09:00] Klopeco: as you do on a non-wifi-network === r3v0 is now known as zz_r3v0 [09:00] oh Gods of the script fu! x3 Anyone knowing how i can properly add a nautilus menu that triggers a selection of emblems to pick from *only for certain filetypes*? (or a tut that is understandable?) [09:01] iceroot: I have multiple SSID with multiple proxy config [09:02] Madkiss, uh oh. That file was pretty much stored in swift-auth package, in the earlier versions of Ubuntu, like 11.10 (when it was Swift 1.0.2 [09:02] 10.10* [09:03] From 11.04 and 11.10, the entire packages were updated to 1.3.0, and because of that (perhaps), the swift-auth package is to be found nowhere. [09:03] what did I miss? damn wireless is spotty in my room [09:04] Klopeco: maybe dhcp can handle something like that? i dont know [09:04] anyone tried out 0 A.D ? [09:04] sweet linux game [09:05] reminds me of Age of Empires [09:05] Arnold: well, nevertheless, that command is somewhat, uhm, important ;) [09:05] goddard: sounds good, i will have a look at it [09:05] it's not the actual package, it's rather binary [09:05] iceroot: yeah its alpha but is gonna be good [09:05] Jon--$ any ideas on a way to pipe that list of dirs to a move command? [09:06] MahaVishnu, This should work: find . -type f -name '*.flac' -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} mv {} /hd2/Music [09:06] Whoa [09:06] MahaVishnu, This should work: find . -type f -name '*.flac' -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} mv {} /hd2/Music/ [09:06] sniped :3 [09:06] Note that not all OSes support {} notation with xargs [09:06] does ubuntu ? [09:07] (More accurately - not all versions of xargs support it) [09:07] Yes [09:07] ok thats all I need let me test it out for you. [09:07] Do me a favour and read some man pages [09:07] I do read man pages :D [09:07] Understand what that command does [09:07] Before you use it [09:07] I was reading about find [09:07] but all I could get it to do was list all the .FLAC files in a dir [09:07] not the dirs containing flac :-\ [09:08] Oh shoot [09:08] I think I fucked up. [09:08] Did you run that? [09:08] not yet [09:08] Good. [09:08] lmao... [09:08] Test it out by making a random directory [09:08] like ~/test [09:08] good idea [09:08] grrr upgrade to 11.10 stopped ZTE MF6273 3G usb modem from working - again - this is getting real old [09:09] cd ~/test mkdir x y z touch somefile.flac in each, etc. [09:09] Madkiss, maybe it has been replaced with a newer command? [09:09] I have a /home/user/test for just these purposes [09:11] test like this? find . -type f -name '*.flac' -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} mv {} /home/x/test/blah/ [09:11] Anyone can help me with apache problem [09:11] No [09:11] is take 1 minute with teamwiewer [09:11] Test by making sure that a recursive call to find won't hit any legitimate flac files on your drive [09:11] arlo: is this apache problem on ubuntu ?

[09:13] I don't know enough awk/sed to fix it [09:13] Ikonia i restart aoache [09:13] apache [09:13] Madkiss, seems it has to do more with the Swift software itself, than Ubuntu's packaging. Since 11.10 has version 1.4.4, and only the pre 1.3.0 one had swift-auth with swift-auth-add-user in it [09:13] but my domain not working [09:13] i create subdomain [09:13] ikona.mydomain.dk [09:13] hi, I have this zip files which inside has a folder , I want to uncompress it but not the folder but the files inside , how can I do this ?

[09:15] ikonia og have send you with query [09:15] Arnold: hmkay [09:16] arlo: I'm just going to check that domain [09:16] MahaVishnu, Get someone else to look at it, you have a good start. [09:16] I need sleep. [09:16] o [09:16] k [09:16] VictorCL, should be something like unzip file.zip -d destfolder [09:17] How do i use tor on freenode using "UBUNTU" [09:17] acr! [09:17] sokak: unzip -j should do it fine [09:17] Linuxnut: #freenode to ask [09:17] yeah, im still chewing on -j [09:17] Linuxnut: they have howtos for a lot of clients [09:17] arlo: the dns for your domain is pointing at a server in a datacenter, not your PC [09:18] yes is my home server [09:18] i have ssh acces to this ? [09:18] acces [09:18] Can you even use tor on ubuntu ? [09:18] Linuxnut: yes [09:18] !tor | Linuxnut [09:18] Linuxnut: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [09:19] Arnold: thanks for the help, the "swauth" binary from Precise is what I am looking for :) [09:19] Sweet thanks ikonia your a tuff nutt but i like you [09:19] ikonia is my home server [09:19] arlo: you're the IP it's pointing at appears to be a holding server, not your server [09:20] Madkiss, hehe, who would've thought that it was cleverly in disguise in another binary name? :P [09:20] ikonia i have write you to you in query [09:21] Hey ikonia not to be off topic but do you host alesi.projecthugo.co.uk [09:21] Arnold: some people seem to take joy from randomly renaming binaries ;) [09:22] arlo: can you please stop sending me queries and talk in channel please. [09:22] ok fine [09:22] its about my domain [09:22] Madkiss, I guess as long as it won't break anything important, they can rename it as easily as they see fit. And I know how bad that can be!! :P [09:22] seo working in this chat [09:22] hehe [09:22] arlo: the config you have pasted me has a conflict in it too [09:23] no is same config with another subdomain [09:23] arlo: you can't have sub1.domain.com, sub2.domain2.com sub3.domain.com as seperate domains, then have *.domain.com for domain 5 [09:23] arlo: that conflict *.domain.com will match for sub1/sub2/sub3 [09:23] Hey ikonia not to be off topic but do you host alesi.projecthugo.co.uk [09:24] arh ikonia thats right [09:24] but how can i fix it [09:25] arlo: you need to get rid of the *.domain.com in the serveralias section [09:26] i have delete this line *.domain.com and restart [09:26] but is dont working [09:28] find . -type f -name '*.flac' |sed 's#\(.*\)/.*#\1#' | sort -ur anyone know how to pipe that list of dirs to a command to move them all recursively to be subdirs of a new dir. [09:28] hi. how do I instruct dpkg/apt to install latest available version of imagemagick? I tried to set Priority: 1001 for the package in /etc/apt/preferences . But no effect [09:29] ruslan_osmanov: it should do that by default [09:29] I'm trying to `fsck -cpv` my 2TB HDD. It's been running for quite a long time. How can I be sure that it's not stuck due to some unrecoverable hardware or file system error? [09:30] ikonia i have delete this line and restart [09:30] but is dont working [09:30] ruslan_osmanov update first, before you upgrade, so you have the latest version [09:30] llutz, I thought the default priority is 100 [09:30] hello. i have a folder that is stuck in the trash, it will not go away even after rebooting. i have tried some terminal commands to remove ~/.local/share/Trash files, but the stuck folder is not at that location. i have also tried emptying the trash as root with no success. any ideas here? [09:31] hi im trying to install ubuntu but its not slackware. how do i fix this? [09:31] ruslan_osmanov: default is to install any newer version, if available [09:31] MonkeyDust, I made apt-get update && apt-get install imagemagick [09:31] erm, s/fsck/e2fsck [09:31] ruslan_osmanov then you should have the latest version [09:31] ruslan_osmanov: check apt-cache policy imagemagick [09:32] k_sze, try iotop, you can see if something is moving or just spins empty [09:32] i'm thinking maybe it's bad block of the HDD or so, i may have to fsck? [09:32] arlo: please pastebin your current config [09:33] k_sze - tail -f /var/log/syslog - but -c may be taking the time [09:33] llutz, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/769843/ . But I want 6.6.2-7 [09:33] k_sze, just so you know, the first round of badblock took about 12 hours to me for a 2 gb drive over sata [09:33] k_sze - as long as the HD light is running then your fine [fingers x'ed] [09:33] http://pastebin.com/2WDsBcpW [09:33] ikona http://pastebin.com/2WDsBcpW [09:33] ruslan_osmanov: then you have to find a repo holding that version [09:34] ruslan_osmanov: thats nothing apt-pinning can do for you [09:35] llutz, thank you.

[09:41] its my page [09:41] and i try to create subdomain on this [09:41] arlo: for what domain [09:41] back. fsck did not help and the folder is still stuck in the trash. "Failed to delete the item from the trash" any ideas? [09:41] this arlo: when you visit scrape.mecci.dk there is a site, is that one of your sites ? [09:41] 2 sek [09:42] ikonia on this : http://pastebin.com/L5APHA5m [09:42] Hey guys [09:42] arlo: your domucment roots are the same [09:42] Hi [09:42] arlo: that's why the sites look the same [09:42] hmm [09:42] but why is working on another subdomains`+ [09:42] ? [09:42] arlo: because they don't use the same domain and the same document root [09:42] hi. DId anyone install mysql in a chroot environment on ubuntu? I have this problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5056710/running-mysql-in-chroot and I don't understand how to solve it [09:43] demo.mecci.dk is a same domain ? [09:43] ikona : demo.mecci.dk is a same domain [09:44] kudos everyone for the great help, leaving for now ^^ [09:44] #stip [09:44] arlo: no, you where using scrape.mecci.dk with a document root of /var/www/scrape - your subdomains where also using /var/www/scrape [09:45] Hej, when I transfer big files (~1.3 GB) to my flash drive (quite slow one) after minute or two system lock up for 20 to 60 seconds. This is repeatable. I haven't tried mounting with "sync" option. I heard that there was a problem with scheduler, but I can't remember if it was fixed. Can you help? [09:45] any of you guys interested in helping out with a Linux community I'm building?? [09:45] We are a brand new community driven site thats going to help make Linux a real alternative. Linux is a beautiful, reliable and free Operating System built perfectly for your Desktop, Laptop or Netbook. [09:45] Bioshox: please don't recruit in here [09:45] Sorry! [09:45] :') [09:46] and besides, Linux is already a real alternative. [09:46] ikonia so what is full code? [09:46] arlo: what do you mean what is the full code ? [09:46] Yeah, but I'm working on something that shows that to people [09:46] how can i fix it [09:47] arlo: you need to point your subdomain at a different document root [09:47] Bioshox: ubuntu.com does that already. quite nicely, actually. [09:47] 2 sek i try [09:47] ok, well i have discovered the solution to my stuck folder in the trash problem.. the offending folder was deleted from a network share, and after i ran umount -a, the trash was gone :-) [09:47] My sites not just for Ubuntu, it's for many distros and open source applications [09:47] A way to evaluate and compare to people who don't currently use Linux which OS might be for them [09:47] ok guys - lets drop the talk on the site please, it's nothing to do with ubuntu [09:48] And why would #ubuntu care about that? :) [09:48] Bioshox: distrowatch.com === davorlozic01 is now known as MegaDavor [09:48] exactly my point. [09:48] still not the aim of the site [09:48] Bioshox: good luck with it [09:49] is there anyone to explain me difference output of lsof -i:80 | wc and ps aux | grep apache | wc, what is more relevant for number of visitors? [09:49] nardev: neither really [09:49] nardev: the apache log is the guy there [09:50] ikonia, i often get different numbers there, what is wrong? [09:51] nardev: different numbers ? [09:51] ikonia, as you see i wc output [09:52] ikonia is not working [09:52] nardev: as I said they have nothing to do with visitors [09:52] arlo: please show me the config [09:52] ikonia, ok, than connections [09:52] nardev: 1 connection does not = 1 visitor [09:52] ikonia, i understand that [09:52] nardev: there is some good docs on the apache website on how to manage logs to get stats, tools like awstats may also help you [09:53] ikonia, would you be kind to find it for me or to give me some reference how to find it, i would be very grateful [09:53] config where? [09:53] since you already know [09:54] nardev: find what ? [09:54] arlo, use some paste dump web service [09:54] arlo: use a pastebin [09:54] arlo: as you have done before [09:54] ikonia, article that you mentioned [09:54] nardev: I don't have it to hand, look on apache.org - and search google for awstats site, both useful [09:56] ikonia : http://pastebin.com/dq6jNeEu [09:57] arlo: do you have any other domains with *.mecci.dk [09:57] arlo: in their config [09:58] can anyone help me figure out how this is possible (http://pastebin.com/Y1rLFvvk) when using mysql_real_escape_string ? [09:58] hmm [09:58] ikonia subdomain yes [09:58] lasse_: try #mysql or ##php [09:59] arlo: make sure that *.mecci.dk is not in any of your other domains [09:59] arlo: something is causing scrape.mecci.dk to be directed to a site before it hits your config [10:00] arlo: totally remove the scrape.mecci.dk config, and restart apache, what happens ? where does the site go ? [10:01] iknonia wouldn't it be enough with just a2dissite and then reload? restart is a bit overkill :) [10:02] ikonia is going to same root page [10:03] Man [10:03] Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity-2d-team/unity-2d-daily/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [10:03] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

[10:11] :( [10:13] arlo: ok, that means another site config is conflicting [10:13] doritoDan i guess you already found this page http://digitizor.com/2010/05/10/how-to-install-unity-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [10:13] MonkeyDust: Nah [10:14] how does it relate to my problem? [10:14] arlo: you need to find out what site is conflicting, then resolve that config [10:14] doritoDan i see 'lucid' in the path you pasted and you want unity, or am i misunderstanding [10:15] I don't know man. All I'm trying to do is upgrade Ubuntu from 10.04 to 11 [10:15] and I started with the update manager [10:15] it fetched my updates, prompted me to reboot [10:15] and now it can't find some path [10:16] Nope [10:17] ? [10:18] I dont need any thing thanks im just watching the chat to see if i can help anybody [10:18] ikonia-fanboy: could you change your nickname to something that doesn't include someone elses nickname [10:19] Ok sorry im just a fan === ikonia-fanboy is now known as Net-Cat [10:20] thank you [10:22] How would i go about converting Ubuntu into a ids what are some good tools [10:22] Net-Cat: snort/tripwire are sane choices [10:22] brb away from keybord [10:24] Net-Cat: what is an "ids"? [10:24] Ok [10:24] This Ubuntu installation is just messed up [10:24] the update manager doesn't work at all. [10:24] doritoDan - 1) make a backup of all your data , 2) get the 11.04 cd , 3) do a new install , 4) replace your data - it saves a lot of hassles... [10:25] I'm so SICK of Ubuntu right now. Every time I try to do something really simple I end up spending hours troubleshooting what should inherently work fine! [10:25] iceroot, Intruder detection system [10:25] deej1976: never heard of something like that [10:25] deej1976: but thank you [10:25] doritoDan it does work , however you dont have to upgrade all the time [10:25] iceroot, Have a look at snort and tripwire if interested [10:25] deej1976: i will [10:25] If I want to upgrade, and there is an upgrade, I should be able to upgrade. [10:26] Instead, the function breaks. [10:26] This is bad. [10:26] But whatever. [10:26] deej1976: never touch a running system [10:26] Thanks for attempting to help pals. [10:26] doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:26] Much appreciated still.

[10:27] I still netcat [10:27] iceroot: Because I want to try 11. How can you even justify Ubuntu not working properly by questioning why I want to upgrade? I should do the same thing whenever someone complains that Microsoft is too greedy. "Why do you need your money anyway??" [10:27] doritoDan a fresh install is often faster and more efficient than an upgrade [10:27] doritoDan: i am asking becauser of the most important thing "never touch a running system" [10:27] iceroot: I want to try Unity. === Nicolus is now known as c_nick [10:27] And keep up to date with the OS.

[11:12] omido, not sure about that program. 64 bit should still run it though [11:13] doritoDan: your issue still present? [11:13] Gentoo64: you can unload then reload the driver module to make it work [11:13] as it has the ia32 emulation [11:13] iceroot: Yeah, I'm just gonna delete Ubuntu. [11:13] cousin_luigi: unity is a shell for gnome3, so yes [11:13] omido: 64bit ubuntu runs any 32bit app [11:13] I'll probably come back to it at a later point. :) [11:13] Thanks though.

WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [12:07] thanks [12:07] Cradam: open both files, then edit and save [12:07] ActionParsnip: can i install another software while its having fun ? [12:07] omido: no, only one application can access the packages at one time [12:07] ActionParsnip: nah, i will do the command line style [12:07] omido: just like in windows with the windows installer [12:08] in windows i can install many apps simontaniously [12:08] Cradam: still needs the same (unless you use: sudo -i) [12:08] omido: not if they both use the windows installer rather than their own [12:08] huh? [12:08] oh, i dont use sudo lol, i log in as root [12:08] on the server that is [12:08] Cradam: if you use sudo to edit one of the files then try and use sudo to edit the next, it will not work the second time [12:08] Cradam: not a good idea but fine [12:09] omido, you can also here, but you have to check them all at once (synaptic, software center) or calling them all at once (apt-get way) you have to end an install cycle before starting another, both the software center/synaptic and apt-get will tell you. [12:09] eh .. why this ubuntu gets so fucked up now? [12:09] Cradam a lot of things can go wrong if you login as root [12:09] what kindo f gnome is that???? [12:09] MonkeyDust: namely?

[12:10] like the normal and SANE one? [12:10] !nounity | bodoh [12:10] bodoh: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [12:10] you can go for any other window manager.

[12:13] nvm, worked it out [12:14] Cradam: that's what you use, those 2 files, the hostname file sets the name , the hosts file needs to be able to translate the hostname to 127.0.0.1 so sudo will work [12:14] man sudo [12:14] wrong window...

[12:30] peace [12:30] Hey [12:30] aokstump: right, just format sdc5 to ntfs or whatever filesystem you want. But note that if you don't want to lose the data, you would have backups.

[12:40] Hi, maybe some here can help me out, my Ubuntu 11.10 hangs during shutdown, like 25 secs, before finally powering off [12:40] this only happens when I shutdown from an x shell, not from the login screen [12:40] MonkeyDust, No, an internal Hitachi. [12:41] mwh_: looked at the logs? [12:42] almoxarife, yes [12:42] almoxarife, also no signs of trouble when I look at the output during shutdown [12:43] almoxarife, output is just "will now halt" "power down" and then it just hangs there from 25secs [12:44] mwh_ and if you shutdown from the command line, does it show something suspicious? [12:46] how do i enable pageup and pagedown to scroll over last used commands?? [12:46] MonkeyDust, havent done that, but I would guess it would be the same as from the GUI? [12:46] mwh_ open a terminal and type shutdown -h now [12:47] poweroff works as well I do believe? [12:48] MonkeyDust: doesn't he need to be outside the shell to see everything? [12:48] good day guys [12:48] I just want to ask is there any project concerning to gconf that it has an LDAP backend [12:49] is there any project that exist like this, in order to centralize desktop setting.

[12:52] MonkeyDust, BTW do you know how the shutdown command is run automatically? Is there any way I can change it in some config file? [12:52] luist: like up/down-arrow do? [12:52] luist: What is wrong with Up and Down arrows? [12:52] luist: or like "history | less" [12:53] luist: PageUp will go WAY back. [12:53] generally links for the executables go to /usr/bin or the executables themselves? [12:53] usr13, cuz i can write a pattern and pageup will complete it based on last command that started with it [12:53] mwh_ no, can't say [12:54] luist: ctrl +r [12:54] iceroot, thats completely less efficent [12:54] ls [12:54] I am new to linux... Could somebody tell me how to invoke the logout dialogbox with some hot key [12:54] ? [12:54] oops, sorry [12:54] iceroot, i didnt ask for alternatives.... i just want to use pageup/pagedown like on all rpm based distros [12:54] lunatichead ctrl-alt backspace [12:54] luist: #bash [12:54] MonkeyDust, thanks [12:55] why everybody wants to change my problem and noone actually helps solving it? [12:55] DemonWitch: Generally, the executables themselves, but theres no harm in having links there. [12:55] lunatichead: dont your ctrl + alt + backspace [12:55] lunatichead: that is not logout, that is "restart x-server" [12:55] lunatichead: and disabled in newer ubuntu-releases [12:55] luist: Because it seems different to us. I'd try asking in #bash, they'd likely be more knowledable about that. [12:56] IceStar did not know that myself [12:56] luist: because there are already solutions for your problem [12:56] iceroot did not know that myself [12:56] MonkeyDust: no problem [12:56] lunatichead: in power settings you can make a single press on power button do lots of different things [12:56] ya.. its ctl+ALT+DEL i checked in the shortcuts... got it there [12:57] Pici, and how do they know (if i copy just the executable) where the folders containing the data of the program are?

[15:34] Hi, Can anyone help? My question is: Is it possible to start daemon (e.g. tomcat configured in /etc/rc*.d), but it should start for specific user (not root) e.g. user 'tlu'?

[15:35] tlu: Yes, that should be possible. [15:36] puff: Where could I read about that? What keywords to search in Google? [15:36] tlu: However, note that if only root processes can atach to ports 1024 or lower, so if yuo want to use port 80 you'lll have to set up a port forwarder. [15:36] hi [15:37] Alright -- I did find a solution. Super-W will work to get my chrome window back... [15:37] But I'd still like to know why it simply disappears when minimized to launcher.

It had a video running, so I still hear the sound from it, but using the Chrome icon in the launcher only opens new Chrome windows. I cannot get any minimized ones back without using Super-W. Why is this? [15:42] Sometimes I can't get to menu bars in 11.10, the top bar stays the titlebar when I hover it or press Alt, the only change being the close/min/max buttons. How can I fix that? [15:43] I'm using Ubuntu Rescue Remix to attempt to recover an HFS+ partition (ideally) or to do some file carving if I have to. The drive is a 1TB usb(sata) drive, and does not seem to be suffering any physical damage. I can see one small FAT partition (EFI stuff) and a large HFS partition. the HFS partition will mount just fine but doesn't seem to have any data on it (looks like a MacOS "skeleton" fold [15:43] er structure) [15:43] Chrome also never shows an indication that it has been used (i.e. no little white arrows by it showing that it's in active use). [15:43] tlu: Also, check out Jason Britain's tomcat packages, they include init scripts and such. These may have been folded into the ubuntu tomcat packages by now (I think Jason might be the maintainer now). [15:44] I don't know much/anything about MacOS. The drive belongs to my cousin who was working normally and was suddenly unable to read the disk. I did a quick search with testdisk, and it did not find any partitions other than the two I mentioned above. I then did a deeper search (running now), and it's found 50+ HFS partitions as it's searched [15:44] tlu: Then again, it's been awhile since I looked into this. [15:45] joesuffceren: There's a #macosx channel tha tmight be helpful. [15:45] puff: tx [15:45] thanks for the information about web cam. [15:46] puff: Thanks. I can try that. I don't have a mac, though. I'm trying to recover an HFS partition using URR. You think people in #macosx could help me when I don't have a mac to do recovery on?

[16:31] O_O [16:31] Arizona_Bay: sure there is [16:31] Arizona_Bay, there is but you need to get it from the skype website [16:31] <_calum> I assumed when I did the alongside windows 7 install it would put an uninstall icon in Win7, but it didn't. What do I do now? [16:31] Arizona_Bay: grab the deb from www.skype.com [16:31] Jack, tried.

[16:36] puff lastfm, spotify iheart radio [16:36] scsheep, i noticed this too, with a adblock-thingy enabled in chromium, it is called a protection. [16:36] ActionParsnip, yeah im pretty sure (Correct me if im wrong here) installing 32 bit on a 64 bit OS is fine just not the other way around [16:36] ActionParsnip: not sure give me a sec [16:37] webnet: it is but its good to match arch, especially when 64bit deb exists [16:37] scsheep: it sorts al copying and pasting :) [16:37] installing it now :D [16:37] ActionParsnip, yeah. i figured as much. [16:37] :) [16:38] ActionParsnip: thats sorted it thankyou. [16:38] it worked :) thanks [16:38] scsheep: np, personally I think it should be default, along with guake [16:40] and byobu [16:40] used to use Yakuake, havent installed guake [16:40] MonkeyDust: id be lost without byobu === Timic_ is now known as Timic [16:41] scsheep we understand each other... friend [16:41] :p [16:42] scsheep: same deal, just GTK based.

[17:03] _Marcus sudo chmod -R 777 direcotry for example [17:03] xaxm: iwconfig in terminal [17:03] give me a sec [17:04] xaxm: If you see it then you could try iwconfig wlan0 up [17:04] RaT [17:05] puff: how is xfce4-terminal related to LightDM though? [17:05] kvijayeddy10 usb HD cna help a load .... [17:05] RaTTuS: can full install ubuntu on hdd, keeping old vmdk file (large size) intact on hdd [17:06] kvijayeddy10 are they on seperate partitions ? [17:06] RaTTuS: 269gb of vmdk will take 4hrs to come back onto hdd from usb drive [17:06] <_Marcus> Thank you RaTTuS and yeehaw [17:06] RaTTuS: on single partition now [17:06] Is there a PPA for python 2.7.2 on ubuntu 10.10?

See also !addppa [17:07] perlsyntax: check the link, handy search [17:07] kvijayeddy10 your probably out of luck - though making a backup onto exteral HD will save heartache later [17:07] _Marcus: Don't chmod everything to 777 btw, It will become world readable editable [17:08] RaTTuS: already i have vmdk file on usb drive [17:08] i just look under python 2.7 if i am right. [17:08] Is anyone running 11.10 that can test something real quick please? [17:09] RaTTuS: i can install ubuntu and put vmdk back on hdd from usb drive but it takes 4hrs of time as vmdk file is large size of 269gb [17:09] _Marcus: you can set those numbers yourself - it's pretty easy. the first is what root can do, the second is you, and the third is other users. [17:09] kvijayeddy10 ... ok ... your still out of luck really unless the installer can shrink the extising paration [17:09] may be a silly question but does 11.10 have wobbly windows yet ? === energehbender is now known as Energybender [17:09] BarkingFish: s/root/owner/ [17:09] mainecoon, such as? [17:09] sorry, llutz - apologies [17:09] BarkingFish: permission are owner-group-everyone [17:09] <_Marcus> yeehaw: I didn't, I did "chown -R username /directory" and it worked [17:10] compdoc can u open xfce4-terminal, type w, and tell me if u see yourself..and then repeat with xterm [17:10] guys, I have a serious problem - I wanted to format a partition to install Linux on, and accidentally formatted my data partition instead :( Is there any way I can recover the NTFS partition and my data? [17:10] mainecoon, as far as I know, xfce is not a part of 11.10, is it? [17:11] Goeland86 - probably not .... [well not easily] [17:11] ? [17:11] each number's built from adding others together - read is 4, write is 2 and execute is 1. you add what you want the permission to be, for each one - owner, group and everyone else. [17:11] you can install it, but it doesnt come with it [17:11] Goeland86: gah. if it's already formatted, you're in a fair bit of trouble. [17:11] compdoc I added package Xubuntu-desktop [17:11] maybe Im thinking of the worng thing [17:11] Goeland86: Helix, easy recover will sometimes help [17:11] If you didn't write anything to it after that [17:11] Loook like no one knows thank for the help. [17:11] mainecoon, yeah. I use gnome or unity [17:12] <_Marcus> I want to make it so that a user can only access a directory and it's directories under it, not / and all of it's directories. How would I do this? [17:12] llutz: sorry, I'm up to my head with flu and a fever. I can barely see straight, let alone think straight :P [17:12] compdoc But I think it was in regular ubuntu login too..I could be wrong tho [17:12] RaTTuS, sipior it was only a high level format - shouldn't have modified (much) data [17:12] _Marcus, that's done with chown [17:12] yeehaw, helix you say? [17:12] I'll give that a shot [17:12] RaTTuS: can i boot from bootable usb of ubuntu and try demo before install, can i at that time could see hdd partition ? [17:12] Isn't XFCE default in regular ubuntu as well? [17:12] <_Marcus> yeehaw: What do you mean? [17:12] DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING ON FORMATED PARTITION [17:12] _Marcus: you chown the directories that the user needs to access to that user with. chown user:group [17:12] _Marcus sudo chown -R user:group [17:12] Goeland86: probably not, but don't expect a complete recovery. [17:13] siavoshkc: Turn your caps lock off please :) [17:13] kvijayeddy10 yes you should eb able to see it ... [17:13] siavoshkc: that would make it difficult to get any work done. [17:13] RaTTuS: if i could see hdd at that time, i will remove window7 related stuff, it will increase space [17:13] _Marcus: But you will have to create a seperate group for that user, if he's in your standard users he can access every file normal users can [17:13] I set my computer to suspend, and when I just tried to wake it up, it only has a blank screen. What do I do? [17:13] Goeland86: restoring from backups is vastly cheaper/more reliable/faster [17:13] sipior: no [17:13] RaTTuS: i will get 51gb free space ( 320gb -269gb = 51gb) [17:14] sipior, well I have a LOT of data, some of it that hasn't made it to backups (like a tarball of my gentoo system) [17:14] kvijayeddy10 it will be NTFS so not useful for ubuntu [17:14] office3: which environment are you using? Unity, Gnome, XFCE? You may just be able to switch to a terminal and restart your display manager [17:14] _Marcus: Also, look at this: http://mpm-itk.sesse.net/ [17:14] use a recovery application [17:14] i willl re-boot and install ubuntu ( choosing install ubuntu sidewise to existing windows paritition ) on free space available [17:14] BarkingFish: gnome I think [17:15] ok ... time for cake and beer - I may be sometime .... [17:15] RaTTuS: after that can i see windows paritition and vmdk file or not later ? [17:15] sipior, do you think there's any danger if I use windows 7 tools from another partition to recover it? [17:15] siavoshkc: the point is, you've already done a great deal of writing to a formatted partition. that horse has left the barn. [17:15] I'm flat out of options otherwise [17:15] right, office3 - try pressing CTRL, ALT & F1 at the same time, and see if you get a terminal pop up [17:15] hail !! people of this channel ! [17:15] Goeland86: don't see why there would be. [17:15] there anyway of determining what is driving the load on a machine [17:15] I'm not seeing anything that looks heavier than normal [17:15] Hello, I have som problems with my 3 mobile broadband. It's the huwai e122. It connects and works for an hour or so, then it starts acting real strange, not loading sites etc. And If I just stay connected, after li 30 mins it starts working again. Any ideas? === rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234 [17:16] sipior, thanks. I'll give that a shot. I'll bug you if I run into anymore trouble [17:16] Goeland86: i don't see the problem getting any worse, at any rate :-) [17:16] victor__: when it misbehaves, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues [17:16] CAN ANYONE RUNNING UBUNTU 11.10 PLEASE TRY TO: open "xfce4-terminal", type "w", and tell me if u see yourself..and then repeat with "xterm" PLEASE [17:16] RaTTuS: my only concern is to save my ass of re-putting large file vmdk ( of size 269gb) onto 320gb hdd ...it takes 4hrs of time [17:16] mainecoon: Are you still on that? [17:16] sitting around 50% idle, still a good amount of memory open [17:16] Alright, I will try that and see if I can connect again [17:16] disk io doens't seem bad [17:17] victor__: you may be having network issues, 3 is pretty congested sometimes - you may want to perform a manual roam (look for a better network signal) and try again. [17:17] BarkingFish: I can't get a terminal to pop up [17:17] mainecoon: try in #xubuntu too, they will more than likely have xfce4-terminal [17:17] puff Yeah cause what u sent talks about a LightDM issue [17:17] jiff98: ps auxf and see what's being used? [17:17] what are you on now, office3? [17:17] As in, how are you connected to us? [17:17] mainecoon: Yes? [17:17] BarkingFish: I'm on another computer nearby [17:17] But is the same here at work as it is at home, I google search told me it might have to be with the dhcp leasing? [17:17] mainecoon: It might be useful, then, for you to google on something like "what is lightdm" [17:18] which time is christmas in the U.S ? [17:18] That when the ip is renevewed it doesnt catch ip [17:18] llutz: Display blanked in a DM, if you switch out to a TTY, it should still come up, right? [17:18] mainecoon: Also, I should point out that you're using xfce because you're using xubuntu-desktop, so #xubuntu might be more helpful. [17:18] puff I tried [17:18] unless you get to a TTY a different way to us :) [17:18] <_Marcus> So I did "sudo chown -R user:group /directory" and the user can still access files in /var and such [17:19] mainecoon: lightDM is a display manager (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM). It's sort of the underpinnings of the GUI. [17:19] <_Marcus> And I created the group already [17:19] mainecoon: So your windowmanager runs on X and X is managed by lightDM. [17:19] puff So when I launch xfce4-terminal, LightDM is affected, and xterm doesn't affect LightDM? === seanr is now known as seanr|away [17:19] !away > seanr|away [17:19] seanr|away, please see my private message [17:19] puff Right [17:20] 30 [17:20] puff But under this very same environment, two terminal clients are behaving differently [17:20] mainecoon: Because lightDM runs X and the display manager, when you to go login, you're actually talking to lightDM, and then lightDM starts up X and Unity (or in your case, XFCE). [17:20] _Marcus: you would need to take away rights on /var - but I advise to not to do that, given your level of knowledge you might severely damage your system [17:21] _Marcus: you want to chroot ftp-users to a dir [17:21] mainecoon: Ergo, housekeeping related to your X login is done by lightDM. Part of that housekeeping is that lightDM is supposed to udpate utmp, but apparently it doesn't. utmp is where who/w looks to see who's logged in. [17:21] <_Marcus> SunTsu: No, it's not just /var, it's all the directories besides the one I want it to only access. It can still access the one I want it to only access, but it can also access all the other ones === root is now known as Guest25338 [17:21] RaTTuS: can u clear this to me ? [17:21] mainecoon: Obviously one terminal does update utmp, the other doesn't. [17:21] _Marcus: what llutz just said, you basically are looking for a chroot() setup [17:21] !rootirc > Guest25338 [17:21] Guest25338, please see my private message [17:21] <_Marcus> Ok [17:22] _Marcus: even better, you don't want to use ftp at all :) [17:22] _Marcus: chroot restricts users to a single directory tree [17:22] llutz: even more true [17:22] mainecoon: see https://lists.launchpad.net/desktop-packages/msg32679.html and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-terminal/+bug/861388 [17:22] Ubuntu bug 864609 in vte (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #861388 libvte9 fails to record utmp/login entries" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:23] RaTTuS: incase i could put ubuntu on 51gb and see remaining ntfs parition having large vmdk file, can i change ntfs parition to ubuntu's parition without losing files ?? i mean merging of two paritions of different partitions to ubuntu wihtout losing ntfs parition files [17:23] puff Thanks for the leads again! Going to do more research now on this issue [17:23] mainecoon: Any way you slice it, it's because of a bug. It doesn't seem to be a showstopper. [17:24] I really wish I understood all of this login manager, window manager, etc stuff, better. [17:24] puff Well it seems to be a potential security issue, and I wanted to pursue it to better understand the whole reporting mechanism [17:25] Hello. I want to lear C++, so I installed GTK+3. All I didi is the classic ./configure make and make install, but I do not know where the "executable" is. I know there is a way to set a path in ./configure --prefix, But I do not know how to. I want GTK+3 to be in my Menu>Programming. How do I do that? In the GTK's web page says I need to do this: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk But I do not even know what path is that for [17:26] puff: it's layers really, simple stuff [17:26] so I still can't get my computer to come out of suspend or get a terminal [17:26] office3: does CTRL+ALT+F1 work? [17:31] ActionParsnip: I tried that with him - that was my first thought, drop to a tty and restart the dm :) [17:31] does anyone know where i can find vmware player 4 for ubuntu? [17:31] BarkingFish: fo sho [17:31] !vmware [17:31] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [17:32] Osmodivs: why on earth don't you just take ubuntu's gtk? [17:32] ActionParsnip: seems a bit odd that DPMS doesn't bring the monitor back to a display. [17:32] SunTsu: Well, GTK+3 is the newest, [17:33] if you are just learning C++ shouldent you be learning like.. helloworld and other beginner stuff ? [17:33] Osmodivs: which you of course are in serious need of when trying to learn C++, I see [17:33] BarkingFish: suspend is a pain if it doesn't work OOTB [17:33] SunTsu: And, How do I run GTK from the Terminal? [17:33] ActionParsnip: sorry, no, CTRL+ALT+F1 doesn't work [17:33] office3: is it a laptop? [17:33] Osmodivs: you don't run gtk, it's a likrary [17:33] Osmodivs: gtk is not a program. its a set of libraries... [17:33] library even [17:34] SunTsu: it's a toolkit (hence the name ;)) [17:34] !compile > Osmodivs [17:34] Osmodivs, please see my private message [17:34] ActionParsnip: yes it is a laptop [17:34] Osmodivs: maybe you might want to get a grasp of what you are doing before trying that? [17:34] Osmodivs: do you have any programing experience at all? [17:34] office3: what make and model? [17:34] ActionParsnip: That answer would have resulted in me explaining what a toolkit is [17:34] SunTsu: I guess [17:34] dr_willis: Zero, but the GTK+3 website mekes it look easy [17:35] and fun [17:35] ActionParsnip: therefore: "library" - it's true none the less and more people know what that might be [17:35] Osmodivs: have a try :) [17:35] Osmodivs: I think you need to start with somthing smaller... perhaps even learn python first.. [17:35] SunTsu: easier to explain is always useful [17:35] Dell 1580 [17:36] studio [17:36] dr_willis: But C++ is the must learn language... Ok. So I thought GTK+3 was a GUI taht let you type commands of IF, GO TO and stuff and then run them there [17:37] Osmodivs: no, gtk lets you build a gui for your own program, it gives you the programming tools [17:38] anyone running squid-deb-proxy? === seanr|away is now known as seanr [17:38] having a problem with hash sum mismatch errors [17:38] Osmodivs: I think you mean a terminal :P [17:39] office3: is "dell 1580" the full model name? [17:40] office3: sure it's not a lattitude or an inspiron or somesuch? [17:40] sorry studio 1558 I think... [17:40] let me look up my email invoice [17:41] Well, I thought I needed GTK+3 because I was following a tutorial and all I could get was this: ./c: line 1: //: Is a directory ./c: line 2: //: Is a directory ./c: line 3: //: Is a directory ./c: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `('./c: line 4: `// Fahrenheit = Celsius * (212 - 32)/100 + 32' [17:41] ubottu, sorry, linkinus was doing that automatically. Turned it off. :-) [17:41] seanr: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:41] i thought bash could not read C++ [17:41] Osmodivs: er, you were pasting c++ to the shell? [17:41] i installed gnome-shell package but when i run gnome from login i got graphic problems on the shell. what can i do? [17:41] Osmodivs: gcc file.c -o program [17:42] SunTsu: No, it is a txt file [17:42] I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and need a plug& Play wireless adapter can anyone suggest one? [17:42] hi [17:42] Osmodivs: please, grab yourself a beginner's book about development on unix systems [17:42] SunTsu: What doe the file contain? Put it in pastebin or sumthing [17:42] Osmodivs: i think you need to follow what SunTsu said.. :) [17:42] does any one of you have a problem connecting to facebookchat from pidgin? [17:42] Err i Meant Osmodivs [17:42] SunTsu: Actually, I was following the tutorial from "C++ for dummies" [17:43] Osmodivs: personally i would start with python. Jumping into C++ with NO programing experiance at all.. will be.. difficult. [17:43] Osmodivs: you want to join ##c++ [17:43] But it s Windows oriented [17:43] Osmodivs: which probably is written for windows dummies ;) [17:43] Dummines and for Idiots books.. are often not worth the Money. [17:43] :) [17:43] office3: try pressing the switch to monitor key a few times til it switches, may make it wake up [17:43] Orsmodivs: The head first books are pretty awesome, if you just want to start out [17:43] I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and need a plug& Play wireless adapter can anyone suggest one?

[18:01] Fachex: modprobe the driver if you can find it? [18:01] fachex: run: sudo lshw -C network use the product line to find guides [18:01] hey i have a toshiba satellite and i cant get touchpad drivers help!

[18:02] ouch - the problem is worst than at first tought - i followed this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 but its not loading the module - have to manually write it myself [18:03] no, I don't yeehaw [18:03] yeehaw, lspci -v paste the output to www.pastebin.org [18:03] office3: I would [18:03] I mean it is the broadcome BVM5721 [18:03] fachex: I'll be back in 30 minutes, got to get out off the bus now. [18:03] ok [18:03] ActionParsnip: c655d-s5126 yes it works it just is not recognizing it as a touchpad [18:03] Yanch0: add the module name in the file /etc/modules and it will load at boot [18:04] hey ActionParsnip, I did the sudo lshw 'C network [18:04] shovell: just because hardware is recognised as something doesn't mean it will work [18:04] now what?

[18:04] fachex, can you pin point the module of the broadcom as its default and can run normally [18:05] fachex: use the model line to find guides [18:05] Exxon, how do I do that? [18:05] shovell: all your hardware will tell you what it is, doesn't mean its going to run as expected [18:05] ActionParsnip: I just don't understand why they sometimes have white triangles next to the programs, and sometimes not [18:05] the driver is tg3 [18:05] fachex, just paste bin lspci -v [18:06] driver=tg3 [18:06] Matt040804: white triangles where? [18:06] fachex: then run: echo "tg3" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules [18:06] Next to the programs in the "email/chat menu" [18:06] Hello. I am using MonoDevelop 2.4 on Ubuntu 11.04. How can I get GTK libraries when I create a Vala Solution in MonoDevelop? (I tried the #vala and #monodevelop channels, but did not get an answer. Thought someone here might know the answer.) [18:06] ActionParsnip: i know that.... i cant find a hardware list where i might be able to fix this [18:07] Hi guys, can someone please help me with config files? [18:07] ActionParsnip: Sometimes the "chat" entry has a white arrow/triangle pointing to it, and other times it doesn't. Does it indicate that the program is open or something? [18:07] I installed an app called 'tourney-manager', i started it and it gives me an error 'Cannot open example.conf: No such file or directory' [18:07] Its a game, how can i resolve this? [18:07] rodemire, theres millions of config files [18:08] I did that ActionParsnip, now what? [18:08] @compdoc: I installed an app called 'tourney-manager', i started it and it gives me an error 'Cannot open example.conf: No such file or directory'. Its a game, how can i resolve this? [18:08] shovell: can you expand the question please [18:08] A [18:09] B [18:09] rodemire: i dunno, but you could try running the program from a terminal to see if you can locate the example.conf file and where it needs to be [18:10] ActionParsnip: in windows there is a hardware manager i am running ubuntu 10.10 and i remember i found something similar in 9.04 i think [18:10] ActionParsnip, that fixed it :) that tutorial says ubuntu 8.04 - strange :S but adding ndiswrapper as a module got it working - many thanks :) [18:10] rodemire, dont know that game, or where to find an example conf for it [18:11] ActionParsnip: bottom line my mouse is recognized as a regular mouse not a touchpad [18:11] pff [18:11] @seidos: tourney-manager runs from the terminal, it doesnt give me the directory where it wants the .conf to be, thats where i hit a brick wall. I tried everywhere, from my /home directory, the /usr/share/tourney-manager directory but it still gives me the same error. [18:11] why the ppl want to troll the session.. [18:12] shovell: ok, let me search, see what toshes need to make touchpads work [18:12] shovell in synaptic or in terminal, search gpoint [18:13] ActionParsnip: thank you [18:13] ActionParsnip i did the echo "tg3".... and now? [18:13] @compdoc: The example.conf comes with the game in /usr/share/doc/tourney-manager/ its to use as an example for creating your own .conf files. [18:13] gpointing-device-settings - configuration tool for pointing devices [18:14] rodemire, sounds reasonable [18:14] MonkeyDust: looking === Gujs_ is now known as Gujs [18:14] @compdoc: lol. Where do most game .conf files go? [18:14] fachex: back, hows it going [18:15] same yeehaw [18:15] I am testing the cable [18:15] because it is detected [18:15] so.. [18:15] Don't bother, if you don't see it in ifconfig [18:15] It's not about the cable [18:15] shovell: press Fn+F9 does it now work... [18:16] I see it now [18:16] rodemire, I dont have any games. if it doesnt go in /etc/ somewhere, I have no idea. Not in the same folder as the game? [18:16] shovell: your system probably has a shortcut combo to disable touchpad, press it [18:16] not what i mean i want to turn off the tap to click function [18:16] hmmm [18:16] it could be the cable [18:16] let's see [18:16] fachex: try ifconfig eth0 up [18:16] ok [18:16] shovell did you find gpointing-device? [18:17] or what the name of the device is [18:17] off course [18:17] MonkeyDust: yes [18:17] broadcom [18:17] @compdoc: I tried that and it still didnt change the eror. #sigh I'll keep on trying all the folders i can think of. Thanks. [18:17] driver=tg3 [18:17] shovell is it useful for you [18:17] channel operator !!! [18:18] rodemire, maybe you just have to rename example.cong to the right name [18:18] fachex: What does ifconfig give? eth0 or eth1? [18:18] *conf [18:18] yes [18:18] eth0 [18:18] shovell: its in the mouse options, search in dash [18:18] Does anything change if you do ifconfig eth0 up? [18:18] give me a second yeehaw, it looks like it is the cable [18:19] MonkeyDust: not really but it does tell me that it sees my toushpad as a logitech ps2 mouse [18:19] fachex: If that isn't it, try: dhclient eth0 [18:19] how to disable or delete guest logon ? [18:20] MonkeyDust: how can i correct this === jofotmp is now known as JoFo [18:20] that was it!! [18:20] it was the cable yeehaw [18:20] lol [18:20] thanks so much [18:20] UBUNTU has the best community [18:20] no problem, I didn't fix anything :P [18:20] shovell: found the boot option: acpi=ht which may help too [18:20] thanks guys!

I built metapackages with a lot of dependencies. Installation works fine, but when I add some packages in the dependency list and increase the version number only a full-upgrade seems to install additional packages. aptitude safe-upgrade --safe-resolver --allow-new-upgrades --allow-new-installs does not. Any hints for me why? [18:22] i would like to create a windows 7 image on a usb with ubuntu 11.10 [18:22] which program let me do that? [18:22] ActionParsnip: is there a way i can tell it that it is not a logitech ps2 mouse but really a touchpad? [18:23] shovell: Ive seen this a few times, if you formulate an xorg.conf you can explicitly tell it [18:24] ActionParsnip: uhhhh hmm still kinda a noob here [18:24] anybody have suggestions on how to do security updates on lucid via CD? i've looked at reprepro, but kernel updates were missing dependencies. perhaps there is a more straightforward way somebody can suggest?

You might want seperate user for seperate services I'd imagine [18:28] someone just told me about unetbootin [18:28] how about that? [18:29] c [18:29] bcuraboy: it won't cater to Windows, have you asked in ##windows [18:30] bcuraboy unetbootin needs an iso [18:30] and i have it ;) [18:31] quick question; anyone know how to make a fat32 partition mount at startup in ubuntu 10.04? [18:31] yes i've asked in windows,that's where they told me about unetbootin [18:32] anyone know why i cannot open a .odt file with libreoffice in ubuntu 10.4 even though i am part of the group that the file is created from and i have rw permissions on it? [18:32] i mean it's readonly [18:32] i cannot edit it [18:32] did you right click the file and make sure that libreoffice is the default program to open from? [18:32] wait you are talking about permissions [18:32] sorry [18:32] greenpuddin: you can add it in /etc/fstab [18:32] http://l337stuff.blogspot.com/p/irc.html [18:33] i can edit it apparently with some other editor what the hell [18:33] Wiz_KeeD: if you make yourself the owner (to test) is it ok?

[18:42] hey guys... im trying to run gpg --key-gen but its taking too long. i've used a lot the disk, the keyboard and such but nothing happens... any idea?? [18:42] iceroot: That is what I thought from the man page, I was just wondering if I could also do it the other way 5-1 instead of having to use a list. [18:42] phschwartz: no [18:43] luist: what key size do you use and what do you call "too long"? [18:43] phschwartz: only from lower values to higher values [18:43] how / where do you set the MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT to true in exim4 with split config files? [18:43] SunTsu, half an hour? i set they keysize for 1024 [18:44] luist: that should end in a reasonable time, 30 minutes is insane [18:44] iceroot: ty [18:45] ActionParsnip, I figured it out. had to unmount the thing from terminal. === malice is now known as mmmalice [18:46] arky: nice, yeah you can't format a partition/device with mounted things on. Suprised gparted didn't offer that to you [18:47] ActionParsnip, likewise. and I didn't want to try to do it from the launcher, nautilus, or pcmanfm. [18:48] yup i got malware everytime i send an email it sends weird links [18:48] arky: gparted has the option if you right click a partition === bil21al_ is now known as bil21al [18:48] question on color prompt.

[18:51] putty [18:52] ActionParsnip, Yes, but it was blacked out. the drive had a persistent openSUSE 12.1 Gnome 3 install on it. [18:52] hi there [18:53] ActionParsnip: the other colors are fine. Just the #xxx text in a file are hard to read.

[19:37] Btw, this is a Toshiba Satellite A205, Oneiric Ocelot. [19:37] qmanjr5, add yourself to the audiogroup , not exactly sure where that is in gnome [19:37] xroot, cool this is the place for help as well there is the ubuntu forum. [19:37] Hi, guys. I've made a new keyboard layout. I've rules/base.{xml,lst} but it won't show up in the keyboard layout settings window. Are there other files I need to modify? [19:38] I've modified [19:38] skegeek, then there is no need for swap at all swap is only for if; mem low and so that the swap can use the hdd for the purpouse..temp files [19:39] Could the freezing have anything to do with it being a Wubi install? [19:42] skegeek, when it freezes do you have a lot of apps open? [19:42] I just rebooted and now that I have rebooted I cannot access my windows partition, cdrom, or any usb ports any ideas? [19:43] It froze on me twice already within 5 minutes of booting, without ANY apps up at all. [19:43] cnz, any background to that reboot? [19:44] urlin2u: nothing other than rebooted into windows to use odin really quick [19:44] If I have multiple people logged into my computer at the same time, my sound doesn't work on my account. How do I fix this, or why does it do this? [19:44] BluesKaj, oops, didn't see you responded. Thanks. [19:44] But it's only when other people are logged on. [19:45] skegeek, make sure you've allowed enough diskspace for the wubi install [19:45] 18G [19:45] cnz, boot ubuntu and run sudo update-grub you describe not getting to windows is this true? [19:45] no [19:46] that is not what I described [19:46] The default was 18G, so that's what I gave it. [19:46] i can boot into windows just fine [19:46] BluesKaj, adding myself to the audio group didn't do anything. [19:46] I reformatted my netbook with Ubuntu and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get wifi working. I have Googled and tried all those solutions and now I'm just kind of flailing about in the synaptic manager uselessly. [19:46] but after I rebooted into windows and booted back into ubuntu i can no longer access any usb ports, cdroms, or any other partitions on the drive. [19:46] cnz, I just rebooted and now that I have rebooted """I cannot access my windows partition"""cdrom, or any usb ports any ideas? It isn't [19:47] skegeek, that should be plenty [19:47] Most of the solutions tell me to go to Hardware Drivers and activate a broadcom sta driver, but that list is blank and says "No Proprietary Drivers Found" [19:47] cnz, be accurate please. [19:47] how can I be more accurate? [19:47] skegeek, with that free space you can install wubi with ease. [19:47] qm is the sound working for others then ? [19:47] Cnz's problem is very very simple, he cannot access any other partitions. [19:47] qmanjr5,^ [19:48] BluesKaj, I believe so. I'll check. [19:48] cnz, you said you could not access your windows partition but left out from ubuntu if that is the case. Is it a wubi install? [19:48] no [19:48] and no I didn't leave that out [19:48] anybody have any tips? [19:48] i said when I booted back into ubuntu [19:49] anyways, ubuntu is on one partition windows is on another [19:49] cnz, maybe you have to mount it? I'm not sure. [19:49] BluesKaj, it works not that I've logged back in. Odd. [19:49] qmanjr5: it was auto mounting before [19:49] Maybe something messed up. [19:49] Just a suggestion. [19:49] hey guys, why won't SoX recognize the libraries i installed via APT? [19:49] i an't even access my thumb drives now either though [19:49] cnz, you have to realize that that was way into the conversation and seconds apart from my post. [19:50] with wubi all partitions are pre-mounted ..designed to be that way [19:50] cnz, so in other words your auto mounting set up with fstab is not working is this correct? [19:50] hi guys can somone help me to install driver for my wirless [19:50] this is my configure script's file format results: https://gist.github.com/192c88e03a38f281d90a [19:50] i uuse ubuntu 10.04 [19:51] qmanjr5, usually when editing as root a relogin is in order [19:51] interesting only / and /boot are in fstab [19:51] just wonderful === zz_r3v0 is now known as r3v0 [19:51] !fstab [19:51] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:51] Exxon: The Ubuntu I'm using right now was installed via Wubi, but, I wanted to make sure it wasn't any part of the problem. [19:52] skegeek, wubi does run slower and kind of chunky to some extent. [19:52] My wirless do not work with ubuntu [19:52] dany, make sure you post the card [19:53] 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01) [19:53] skegeek, wubi is for new users if there is any doubt please do tell us [19:53] how would I find out my card from within ubuntu [19:53] I have the same issue.

How did you have it auto mount? [20:04] hi, how can i make my 11.10 desktop not going hibernate itself every 5 minutes?

[22:01] 86 or 87 ?? === flack is now known as flack-Z [22:02] teekoh: 7 [22:02] thank you [22:03] teekoh: 86/87 are volume sets [22:04] is that not good === flack-Z is now known as flack [22:04] teekoh: its different and not what you want i guess [22:04] i just cleared a HDD and want a default NTFS so that the next person doesnt have problems laoding [22:05] teekoh: so use 0x07 [22:06] chandra_, any progress on the pastebin? [22:06] c_smith: here you go: http://pastebin.com/QYDuEZzg [22:07] why does rewriteengine on give me internal server error page [22:09] c_smith: does my problem look solvable ? [22:10] what is an open source (voip) tool similar to skype? [22:10] chandra_, from what I can see the system is broken, quite possibly beyond the point of recovery. I haven't run into this myself, but as a general rule, if an update segfaults, you'll likely have a broken-beyond-recovery system, if you can't fix the ecryptfs via recovery steps, that's a bad sign. [22:10] raven: all others suck . at least they sucked for me [22:10] hi raven, I was asking the same [22:10] hi all! I have a media temple VE server, and for some reason I've updated things through apt-get and now when I rebooted, I can't ping or ssh into the server. When I've used the "repair" functionality of their service (essentially a temporary OS with my server partition mounted under /repair) /var/log/boot,message seems to be 0 size. I've checked /etc/syslog.conf and it seems to be configured correctly. Is there anything else I can check to [22:10] boot logs to work? (Ubuntu 10.4) [22:10] c_smith: what are the recovery steps ? [22:10] raven: ex: google talk have voice talk [22:10] i can log in [22:10] ekiga raven [22:11] and i can also see my files when i follow the steps i follow in the blog i posted abt [22:11] How do i disable touchpad on my lenovo in ubuntu 11.10? [22:11] chandra_, I was refering to what steps you were already taking from those sites. [22:11] how do I tell mysql server to listen not only on localhost, but also 192.168.blah ? === flack is now known as flack-Z [22:11] meerkats, which company is behind ekiga? [22:11] i can see my files by the methods mentioned there [22:11] c_smith: [22:11] c_smith: but after i remove live boot medium and reboot, i can not see them anymore [22:12] raven, i dont know [22:12] chandra_, if you can see the files, they're still intact then. [22:12] can someone please check this shots and help me fix these(disable ) : http://img.susepaste.org/images/679da0f5.png , http://img.susepaste.org/images/79df955c.png [22:12] c_smith: yes, that is what i think too. but when i login to my system, i cannot see them [22:12] chandra_, one question: is your home directory on a seperate partition? [22:13] c_smith: yes it is [22:13] Linux Mint FTW [22:13] ejv: bind_address= in /etc/mysql/my.cnf [22:13] Evilresistance: how to uninstal and make fresh instal of nvidia drivers etc ? [22:13] ejv: bind-address= [22:13] sudo a2enmod rewrite fixed it [22:13] chandra_, then you might be able to do a fresh install while keeping the /home partition intact. [22:14] c_smith: when i login into my system, and try to mount private, it asks for some passphrase. i enter my login password and then it says wrong passphrase. i even unwrapped the passphrase (via live medium) and entered it, but didnt work [22:14] c_smith: i thought abt it too. but i was afraid i would lose my data in /home [22:15] anyone have any idea? [22:15] what do you think? c_smith ? [22:15] chandra_, if you do a fresh install on the PC in the way I'm about to detail you will be able to come out with the same /home partition you left, as in it won't be touched apart from being mount to the directory. [22:15] or know where I might look next? [22:15] c_smith: ok. and would it also mount it properly to /home so that i can login and see my files again ? [22:16] chandra: So long as your home is not encrypted, it should be easy. [22:16] chandra: Yes! [22:16] chandra_, can't say for sure, as this isn't something I have run into myself. [22:16] do you know is there someone else who might be able to help me log in? c_smith [22:16] i would not like to risk losing my files [22:16] and right now i do not have a good backup medium too [22:17] chandra: During install, don't choose 'format', and choose '/home' as the mount point. [22:17] how do I add myself to the voice group? its for ekiga (VOiP Client)? sudo adduser username voice ? [22:17] chandra_, ask around, but you can keep the partition intact by just setting the mount point of the partition to /home but not checking the format box [22:17] hey look at my bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/903395 [22:17] Ubuntu bug 903395 in unity "Nvidia 460M - laggy window movement 11.10 unity" [Undecided,Invalid] [22:17] meerkats: yes [22:17] Ansikt: would it change my current situation? ie. would i be able to see my files in /home again? [22:17] chandra, could you repeat your problem in whole? [22:17] chandra_, as in make sure it's not checked. [22:17] chandra_: wait a minute, must read your prb [22:17] Ansikt: did you read http://pastebin.com/QYDuEZzg [22:18] bpietro: ok [22:18] bpietro: it is here: http://pastebin.com/QYDuEZzg [22:18] llutz, so it will only make a difference after restarting... [22:18] meerkats: re-login, not restart [22:18] When I installed I set up a static IP. Machine has been moved to a new network. How do I redo network auto-configuration? It needs to be DHCP this time. [22:19] llutz, the noob doesnt know the difference, should I then just log out? switch user? (there's only me using this craptop) [22:19] My internet is running really really slow on my ubuntu installation but it is fine on my other laptop and my windows installation on the same laptop, can anyone help me this is really anoying! [22:19] llutz: looks like i can't bind multiple interfaces :( [22:19] thx anyways [22:19] meerkats: logout - login again [22:19] a [22:20] yes, I saw it, sorry, can't help, not using encrypted home I haven't any experiences w/ it, pitty :( [22:20] ctwiz: Get it sorted? [22:20] ctwiz: If not, I have your answer for you. :-) [22:20] Corey : not yet [22:21] ctwiz: Okay, how old is your server? [22:21] Corey : sweet, I just hit the "reinstall to default" button [22:21] Corey : pretty old I guess [22:21] chandra_: yes, I saw it, sorry, can't help, not using encrypted home I haven't any experiences w/ it, pitty :( [22:21] ejv: you can bind it to 0,1 or all addresses [22:21] ctwiz: Yeah, there was a Virtuozzo update that ate networking if you updated the VE. [22:21] Is it possible to redo the network autoconfig stuff I did at install time? [22:21] bpietro: :( [22:21] Corey : that's it! [22:21] Calling it in will get it fixed within the day. [22:21] i.e. some sort of dpkg reconfigure blah ? [22:22] ctwiz: I used to be a senior engineer there, it was.. interesting. [22:22] Ansikt bpietro btw, i dont get segfaults now when i do sudo [22:22] Corey : darn. ok. Thanks. I called support they said "You updated your server? We can restore from back-up" [22:22] ctwiz: Call it in, they should be able to fix it. :-) [22:22] Corey : but offered no support otherwise. Sweet, thanks. [22:22] That's a crap answer. [22:22] Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempting to use xinput to make it so that when I press both left-click (button 1) and right-click (button 3), my window scrolls with the mouse. I'd also like to release both buttons and still retain this functionality until I click again. See for more info: http://pastebin.com/3prT5SEJ [22:22] If they do that again ask to escalate to L3. [22:22] Corey : that's what I thought. [22:23] Corey : any idea on the boot logs? [22:23] I tried, but for the life of me I can't seem to get boot logs to work with VE. [22:24] My internet is running really really slow on my ubuntu installation but it is fine on my other laptop and my windows installation on the same laptop, can anyone help me this is really anoying! [22:24] phillip_, make sure you're connecting to the same network [22:24] lol, asks question then disconnects [22:24] anyone know of a way i can delete all the nautilus thumbnails of images in a certain directory? [22:25] Corey : at any rate, thanks a ton. :) [22:25] ctwiz: No worries, good luck. [22:25] ctwiz: And yeah, "boot logs" might be hosed. Usually that's read from dmesg, which you don't have on a shared container. [22:26] yeah, I figured as much. Oh well. Thanks again. :) [22:26] on the phone with them now. [22:26] on hold. hah [22:26] ctwiz: No worries. Worst case ping me if they don't provide resolution. [22:26] hi i am not able to login properly to my encrypted home. my problem is described in detail here: http://pastebin.com/QYDuEZzg === stoimenov is now known as kills [22:27] cool. :) [22:28] cyphase: u can use the rm command .. warning can be very dangerous cause it not put in trashcan. try rm --help [22:28] or at least, how does nautilus know which tumbnail goes with which file? is it a hash (looks like it could be)? [22:28] using wild cards can be powerful [22:28] TACPILOT, i know i can delete all thumbnails, but i want to do it only for thumbnails of images in a certain directory [22:29] thumbnail* [22:29] thats where wild cards come in [22:30] does anyone have any idea why my ntpd daemon would fail to synchronize? [22:30] cyphase: find certain-directory/ -type f -iname "thumb*" -delete [22:31] I am trying to enable mod_rewite on Ubuntu 11.10. cam anyone help me? [22:31] llutz, i think you misunderstand :) === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|away [22:32] cyphase: just ignore me then :) === dad_ is now known as Guest17418 [22:32] nautilus stores thumbnails in ~/.thumbnails, but the file names are gibberish. i want to be able to associate those filenames with the files they are thumbnails of, so i know which thumbnails to delete [22:33] c_smith: Ansikt bpietro one question: if i reinstall the system w/o formatting /home, it might ask me for encryption option, what do i choose there? do i encrypt the home, or leave it like that, choose a passphrase, or what ? [22:34] chandra_: dunno :( [22:36] chandra_, It shouldn't ask you whether you want to have it encrypted or not, as it uses the old settings. [22:36] c_smith: ok, and what would happen to the passphrase ? [22:36] chandra_, it would use the old one. === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [22:36] cyphase: nautilus calculates the md5sum of the file uri hash (so echo -n file:///home/username/path/to/file.ext | md5sum) then a find on the hash should find them [22:37] c_smith: i am not understanding something. when i can login to my user now, why cant i see my files? are the passphrase and passwords different ? [22:37] chandra_, from what I could tell, it seemed to be the software is messing up [22:37] c_smith: so what would you suggest ? [22:37] chandra_, hmmmmm, not sure..... may very well be data corruption with the last message taken into account. [22:38] which message do you mean ? c_smith [22:38] chandra_, the one about not being able to see the files. [22:38] chandra_, another place you could try for support if we can't get you a solution here is the Ubuntu forums. === spunk is now known as sn1ggers [22:41] c_smith: hmm [22:42] hi [22:42] Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempting to use xinput to make it so that when I press both left-click (button 1) and right-click (button 3), my window scrolls with the mouse. I'd also like to release both buttons and still retain this functionality until I click again. See for more info: http://pastebin.com/3prT5SEJ [22:42] chandra_, have you done a backup of the home folder recently? [22:43] How do i disable touchpad on my lenovo in ubuntu 11.10? [22:44] c_smith: no [22:44] well, then, it would be hard for you to do a complete reinstall (formatting the home partition, too) if it goes corrupt. [22:45] chandra_, have you tried to reinstall yet? [22:45] c_smith: good thing is i can still access my home files from live medium. i will get a backup medium and copy the files over soon [22:45] c_smith: i dont want to try to reinstall because i fear losing my data [22:45] if reinstall doesnt change the situation, i dont see why i should do it c_smith [22:46] chandra_, it seems that would be the most efficient way to fix this, if you files are still intact on the live session, they will be after installing. [22:46] How do i disable touchpad on my lenovo in ubuntu 11.10? [22:47] chandra_, the reinstall touches none of the data it doesn't need unless you specify the partition to be formatted. [22:47] c_smith: but this situation was not predicted. i can login to my system but i cant see my files- this is clearly something wrong. i fear something unexplainable happens after reinstall too. afterall there might be some easy excuse later- "it was a bug" or so on :) [22:47] if i am not sure, i would not like to do it :) c_smith [22:48] chandra_, ok, well, I'm out of ideas then, I'll have to recommend trying the Ubuntu support forums, I can get you a link if you'd like. [22:48] How do i disable touchpad on my lenovo in ubuntu 11.10? [22:48] isnt it ubuntuforms.com ? [22:48] looks like it. [22:49] chandra_, wish I knew more ways on fixing your problem, but I sadly don't. [22:49] c_smith: thanks :) [22:49] chandra_, no prob [22:49] c_smith: i thank you for your time and effort :) [22:50] c_smith: if i know how to fix it, i'd let you know too (if you are on this channel later) [22:50] hey look at my bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/903395 [22:50] Ubuntu bug 903395 in unity "Nvidia 460M - laggy window movement 11.10 unity" [Undecided,Invalid] [22:50] chandra_, or you could send a PM to my account on the Ubuntu forums. [22:50] c_smith: cool [22:51] hello. [22:51] Hello [22:51] chandra_, hang on for a second, I'll get you that in a PM on IRC. [22:52] diverdude, I googled the instructions. It says to figure out the device ID by typing "xinput list" in the terminal, and then "xinput set-prop thedeviceID "Device Enabled" 0" in the terminal. [22:52] You may also be able to disable the touchpad in the bios, but I haven't tried to do that with my thinkpad and cannot confirm that it's true. [22:52] nbv [22:52] whoops sorry [22:55] which music player are you using? I'm now using Rhythmbox but it doesn't support rating files. I need suggestions.

Its like this http://i43.tinypic.com/30svnf6.png [22:57] Does anyone know of a blog or a tutorial about proper installation of software on ubuntu servers. An explanation or guide why each program requires to have a new user, etc. Thanks [22:58] mkc: wut? not every program needs anew user [22:58] mkc: server works the same as desktop but without all the crap [22:58] i installed zsnes emulator and set its configuration the wrong way. now i want to install it again without that wrong configuration that i made. how can i remove the cache(or anything its called in this case) so that i could have the default configuration? [22:58] aeon-ltd: On my old ec2 machines i didn't care too much about security and proper installation so everything run as ssh user or root, but I want to do it right now. I just need a guide [23:00] mkc: is this server personal? so for your use only? [23:01] aeon-ltd: It's personal but now it is going to make me money...lol [23:01] Hi all I'd like to install ubuntu with the minimal amount of packages to have a fully working desktop (so no productivity software, etc.). Desktop download installs too much. Is there a list of packages required to just have a basic working gnome system? I started with the server cd and installed that. Now I need the additional packages to get it to a desktop. Hoping for some official ubuntu... [23:01] ...documentation on a minimal desktop install. Thanks :) [23:01] mkc: you're prob gonna need to find a guide based on what it's purpose is [23:01] why does ubuntu come with xterm and bash? [23:02] why not? [23:02] SunTsu: why so? [23:02] goddard: you can use zsh if you like [23:02] goddard: because the packager thought it's a good idea to do so [23:02] most probably [23:02] aeon-ltd: yea, true that. I'll google around for a little while and get back when i have more specific questions [23:02] aeon-ltd: thanks. be back later [23:03] hi [23:03] hello to all [23:03] i installed zsnes emulator and set its configuration the wrong way. now i want to install it again without that wrong configuration that i made. how can i remove the cache(or anything its called in this case) so that i could have the default configuration?

[23:04] for some reason ubuntu doesn't see it [23:04] enovativ: did you plug it in? [23:04] goddard: no, it comes with bash, if you don'tt like it remove it install zsh [23:04] well.. I dug a bit more into google and found this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_Desktop_for_Ubuntu [23:04] enovativ: check compatability [23:04] goddard: it's linux use whatever the hell you want [23:04] labcoattech: depends, but yes, 4gb ram and higher is a good reason for 64bit [23:04] aeon-ltd: oh no i do like bash but when i installed ubuntu fresh it installed xterm just was curious why [23:05] ... though.. not so promising that the first thing you see on that page is "I give up." [23:05] goddard, yes i plugged it in...not working [23:05] hah [23:05] goddard: because it's "standard" [23:05] aeon-ltd: strange never saw it installed before [23:05] aeon-ltd, i would agree with you ..except i have been trying to use this bluetooth headset on a compaq laptop for a week now [23:05] lol [23:05] aeon-ltd: must be a new standard [23:06] goddard: no, on the contrary [23:06] goddard: it's been there since 7.04 (personal experience) and prob further back [23:06] no one can help me with my issue?

For 11.10, see !notunity [23:32] !notunity [23:32] 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".

Merry Christmas [23:48] I asked if the upgrade to natty means that I can<'t control my ports anymore === himcesjf is now known as himcesjf|py [23:48] Now all my ports are closed! === Dmitry is now known as Guest9123 [23:49] guys, I've installed the ubuntu 11.10 but I can't use the new visual... So I setup the gnome-classic mode, but it also is different. How can I install the older gnome? [23:50] n4dsp [23:50] washuu_de: you might want to be more precise with your question. What are you doing exactly, ingoing, outgoing, who connects where and stuff [23:50] try hotmail gmail yahoo [23:50] yes Jack [23:50] then you dont need programm [23:50] :P [23:50] thanks [23:50] Except port 80. That port opemnd before I upgraded [23:50] sorry but i disconnect so i think you received twice [23:50] fschuindt: gnome2 is not maintained anymore [23:50] :P [23:51] washuu_de: again. be more precise [23:52] anyone familiar with makefile internals? [23:52] Eriond: ask away [23:52] OK... T [23:53] I'm trying to -include another file, but it's actually checking the dependencies at inclusion, so it's running targets I don't exactly want it to run. [23:53] Is there anyway to have it not run those dependencies? [23:53] I upgraded to Natty... [23:53] fschuindt: there was this messy breakup sort of thing with gnome for whatever reason. (Sounded like a good reason even if I couldn't understand the details.) Try new things. A lot of people are playing with xubuntu-desktop, etc. these days. [23:56] Hey, does anyone know how fast a cheap memory stick should degrade till you can't use it as a quickstart anymore, if you're putting different images on it? [23:57] Now I can not open or close ports. A firewall called "firestarter" tha I had installed before the upfate weorks no more. I removed and re-installed it. To no avail. [23:58] washuu_de: Please read this: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html === andrew_wmf_ is now known as andrew_wmf [23:59] I take a look... [23:59] washuu_de: use ufw, pretty easy
