[00:04] _Marshall: like, compiling a library, or something you wrote? [00:04] <_Marshall> eh, i'm not really sure. it's nothing i wrote [00:04] <_Marshall> mind if i PM you? [00:04] sure [00:05] hi, "df -h" and gparted do not detect the correct size of my harddisk. [00:06] qwertz: How big do they think it is, and how big is it really? [00:07] hey im trying to install ubuntu 10.04 on my macbook pro 8.2 but im having some issues can anyone help? [00:07] it should be about 60G and only about 36G are detected. [00:07] justin_: why on earth would you install something that is 1.5 years old? [00:07] qwertz: old machine w/ some BIOS limitation? [00:08] i prefer the os [00:08] * szal slaps SunTsu around a bit with a large LTS [00:08] SunTsu: Because some of us have stability requirements that "OOH, SHINY!" can't meet? [00:08] Maybe the problem occured two weeks ago when my disk was full. [00:09] !mac [00:09] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [00:09] justin_: ^ [00:09] and I had to do fsck or e2fsck to be able to relogin.

And he didn't say LTS, did he? === DemonWitch is now known as DaemonWitch [00:09] i have spent days reading through the wikis and i can not find one tailored to my version and other versions do not work. [00:10] SunTsu: what do you think 10.04 is? [00:10] i have looked through google and many forums [00:10] since I am not an expert, myabe something went wrong with fsck or e2fsck? [00:10] SunTsu: Urm... he said 10.04, which is LTS. :-) [00:10] justin_: The hardware support might just not be in that version. [00:11] i have tried installing 11.1 and i get the exact same error [00:11] "Shiny hardware" and "older release" tend not to play so well together. [00:11] although i would much prefer to install 10.04 [00:11] justin_: How about you tell us what you've already tried and what the actual error message is? Playing twenty questions isn't fun for either of us [00:12] i'm getting the error "GLimp_init could not load opengl subsystem" when I try to run quake based games (which use 3d acceleration) i use an intel chipset.. nothing i found online so far has solved the problem :S any ideas?

I need Ubuntu to NOT wake up from suspend when I open the lid, instead having to open the lid an then press the power button (like Win7 does). Is there any chance of doing it?. [00:28] justin_: If you install Ubuntu using the netinstall/minimal installer it should work around the "unable to find a live medium containing a live filesystem" problem. [00:28] !minimal | justin_ [00:28] justin_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[00:42] nixmaniack: #bzr is probably a better channel [00:42] 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 [00:42] mneptok, i already asked there! but seems pretty idle! since ubuntu uses it, i thought i might find someone! [00:43] Ubuntu keeps freezing when idle, I've disabled Compiz, screen saver and the monitor does not turn off - what else can I do? [00:44] ibodi: the important part is putting stuff info the clipboard, using X's copy buffer alone does not work [00:44] skegeek: To what extent is it frozen? Do you see any changes on the screen at all (like moving the cursor)? Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 (ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to a GUI)? Can you ssh in from another machine? [00:46] It is completely unresponsive when it freezes, I have to press the power button.

[00:53] skegeek: Have you tried ctrl+alt+F1 or ssh? [00:53] what is the default root password for Ubuntu 10? [00:53] toor [00:53] Hi 2 every1 [00:53] first..i installed the broadcom driver and that didn't work...because it didn't show up in "Additional Drivers" [00:54] !root | drx1 [00:54] drx1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:54] then I installed compat-wirelss, and added the necessary info in the usb.c file [00:54] and that didn't work [00:54] for some reason...couldint do a make, or a make install on the compat-wireless folder [00:54] sudo isn [00:54] is not working [00:54] !details | drx1 [00:54] drx1: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:55] I am running ubuntu 10.10, and I using a NetGear g54/n150 wireless usb micro adapter [00:55] i am using it on a desktop [00:55] I am trying to do a ./configure and it says you do not have permssions. I am administrator (per Gnome GUI). [00:56] when i do lsusb....i can see the device [00:56] drx1, the command would be sudo ./configure [00:56] I have tried Ctrl+Alt+F1, yes, I can't test via ssh at this time though. [00:56] drx1, then type YOUR password [00:56] sudo != root. [00:56] drx1: You shouldn't need to use root privileges for ./configure. [00:56] sudo su - F.T.P. [00:56] should I update? [00:56] drx1: What is your end goal? [00:56] using the update manager [00:57] but drx1, best practice would be to ./configure and make in your user directory somewhere, then sudo make install. [00:57] it's version 11.10 [00:57] drx1: you don't build software as root [00:57] Jordan_U, I am guessing he extracted the source to /tmp [00:57] i also installed ndisgtk....to try to install windows driver. but I can't find a INF file for this wireless adapter [00:57] there is no harm in building as root [00:57] does anyone know how i can chat in QQ with ubuntu 11.10? [00:57] just not required [01:00] phunyguy: it was on a USB key and I also put it in downloads in my home folder [01:00] drx1, then chmod +x configure [01:00] I also used the GUI to grant RW permissions to all files in the folder [01:00] the execute permission is missing [01:00] drx1: What is your end goal? I assume you're trying to install something. What are you trying to install? === Gskellig is now known as |ugburz === |ugburz is now known as Gskellig [01:03] that worked,, thanks. now when I run make or make it says no targets specified or no makefile found [01:04] drx1, then it didnt work [01:04] see why the ./configure failed [01:04] well, the ./configure did [01:04] the make did not [01:04] I'm sure some -dev package is missing [01:04] drx1, I am telling you, the ./configure may have output, but it didn't work. === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [01:05] What command can I use to check the integrity or consistency of the boot sector of a HDD? My first attempt to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 failed with an I/O error. === aidenhong_ is now known as aidenhong [01:06] k_sze: Why do you want to check the boot sector specifically? [01:06] !bootinfo | k_sze [01:06] k_sze: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [01:06] hi' [01:07] Jordan_U: The only thing that works upon freeze is the power button, i couldn't test ssh. [01:07] phunyguy: how do I fix this? [01:07] Jordan_U: I want to retry installing 11.10 *in-place* (without having to wipe the existing ext4 partition) [01:07] drx1: What is your end goal? I assume you're trying to install something. What are you trying to install? [01:07] using the CD [01:07] drx1, I have no idea, figure out why the ./configure failed. I'm sure there is command output. and without a pastebin, I can't help. [01:08] I ran it from the source dir, and ./configure says "C++ compiler cannot create executables" [01:08] k_sze: So you want to check the partition table? [01:08] I'm sure there is more to the problem [01:08] but as a quick attempt, try "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [01:08] then try again [01:09] drx1, knowing what you are trying to compile would be helpful [01:09] phunyguy: I think we really need to figure out what drx1's end goal is before we go any further. [01:10] have fun then. [01:10] bbl. [01:10] it's a utility called extundelete I'm trying to see [01:10] if some files were deleted on an ext3 partition [01:10] drx1: sudo apt-get install extundelete [01:11] the error code is 1947 and I see 4 command not found on various line numbers in config.log [01:11] Jordan_U: I'm not sure. I already booted the 11.10 CD and ran `e2fsck -cpv` on the ext4 partition yesterday [01:11] anyone know how to troubleshoot wifi AND ethernet not working? [01:11] can't -- system isn't on internet. have to bring over via usb [01:12] drx1: It's a *lot* easier to bring over the package file and its dependencies than it is to bring over the source and all its dependencies *and* all its build dependencies. [01:12] !offline | drx1 [01:12] drx1: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD [01:12] drx1: This is why you really need to start with your end goal when asking for support. [01:15] I do not have another Ubuntu box [01:15] I'm curious, I know even Linux should have Anti-Virus these days, but should we have Spyware/Adware protection as well? And how about something like HijackThis?? [01:16] anyone know how to troubleshoot wifi AND ethernet not working, while it does work under other OS's? [01:17] drx1: Then use http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ as also suggested in ubottu's message. [01:18] !virus | skegeek [01:18] skegeek: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [01:19] Sterist, try checking for errros in dmesg, that may help point you where to look next [01:19] hello, is there web based front end for apt ?

[01:28] I'm gonna host a project [01:28] so it is not possible to build from source? [01:28] sometimes when I shut down ubuntu it does not shut down completely, it freezes in the ubuntu logo ......, why? [01:28] somsip: i have a correct entry in my ~/.ssh/config, and i can use the shortcut for other entries i have in there... so it fails on both : ssh shortcutname, and ssh user@remote.host.tld -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa-keyname [01:28] so i want to know which to use depending on popular opinion [01:29] coolstar: Since you apparently have a choice, use git. :-) [01:29] coolstar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 [01:29] airtonix: verbose mode helping any? -v or -vv or -vvv? [01:29] airtonix, what are the permissions of the key file and the directory the key file is in ? [01:29] so far: 1 vote for svn, 2 votes for git [01:29] coolstar: I think github offers free hosting, also. [01:29] somsip: versbose mode reveals it is trying every other key [01:30] kkerwin: I'm using google code, which gives a choice [01:30] irc.gimp.org [01:30] coolstar: Oh, cool. [01:30] somsip: rfi: permissions are 0600, it works when i prefix the ssh command with : SSH_AUTH_SOCK= ssh ...

[01:38] drx1: Also, please use my full nick (Jordan_U) when responding to me so that my client will highlight it. [01:38] somsip: so i guess when i have an entry in ~/.ssh/config then this scenario works [01:39] somsip: but yes, you are right there is another bug with ssh-agent where if you don't have an entry in ~/.ssh/config then -i gets ignored when there are more than 6 keys imported to the ssh-agent [01:40] Jordan_U: 10.10 [01:40] airtonix: weird. I use config and only have public keys for most of my connections [01:40] i'm trying to install mongodb on latest ubuntu, but whenever i try to run mongod, I get the following: "mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.40.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", but it looks like the mongodb package installed libboost1.46, so why is it complaining about 1.40? [01:41] rfi any commands i should try? i just finished hour 2 of googling [01:41] need some serious help [01:41] Hi All...I have mysqld in etc/init.d .... How do i make it to start automatically each time the machine is restarted? [01:42] somsip: yes but if you try to connect to a remote host that you have'nt created a shortcut for in ~/.ssh/config and need to specify -i. then ssh-agent forst tries all it's managed keys before using the one you specified... so it will fail if ssh-agent has more than 6 keys [01:42] I have wired connection and wish to share it via my built in wifi. How do I do it? [01:42] I will receive connection from mac if it makes a difference [01:42] somsip: since ssh protocol only tried 6 keys before failing [01:43] So, if A/V isn't necessary on Linux - the talk about A/V on Linux-based phones is just hyp? [01:43] airtonix: hmm. I use config for ssh'ing but -i for scp and have no problems. But anyways, if you've found your solution that's what matters [01:43] anyone? [01:44] skegeek: Desktop Linux and phones are different things. When basically all the software in your repositories is Open Source it's easy to ensure that none of it is mallicious. [01:45] Jordan_U: btw, the apt-get install build-essential does work [01:45] someone has to know [01:45] SunTsu: you still there ? [01:45] drx1: "Doesn't work" is almost never a useful description of a problem. What happens when you try to run "sudo apt-get install build-essential"? [01:46] who knows networking on ubuntu?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [01:47] how to I share wired connection via my built in wifi? [01:47] drx1: Since it hasn't been packaged for Ubuntu 10.10 it will be difficult to install extundelete. While it's certainly possible there may be easier solutions (like testdisk/photorec which is packaged in Ubuntu 10.10). What files did you delete that you're trying to recover or what is the situation exactly? [01:47] Oh, the apps in mobile markets are mostly proprietary? [01:47] worrow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [01:48] in ubuntu 11.10 64-bit, I'm getting this error when running evolution and selection "exchange MAPI": I'm getting this error when I select "Exchange MAPI": (evolution:2118): e-utils-CRITICAL **: ec_assistant_forward: assertion `link != NULL' failed [01:48] anyone familiar with this error, or a fix? [01:48] Jordan_U: system directories such as /sbin, etc are missing [01:48] skegeek: I would assume so, it's certainly a *much* higher percentage than that in the Ubuntu repositories, and you can avoid proprietary code entirely if you want. [01:49] Jordan_U: I have the source for extundelete and would like to build it on the 10.10 box [01:49] Corey, I tried those, it makes no sense [01:49] drx1: That's not something you'd want to fix with extundelete. Do you have any idea how this directory was deleted? I assume that you're working from a different system which does have a /sbin/ now? [01:50] Corey, I tried the setup and got nowhere. I want to share it similar as to sharing internet with a mac [01:50] Well here we go. [01:50] Jordan_U: what are the odds of bringing those directories back assuming no new data was written to the drive since they were lost [01:50] ? [01:50] worrow: http://www.askmebetter.com/ [01:51] worrow: Pastebin the results of that form please. :-) [01:51] Jordan_U: possibly a power problem, possibly an IRQ/memory range conflict that brought the system down [01:51] Jordan_U: y, on a different system [01:51] would anyone know what module I need to load to mount audio cds data cds work fine. [01:52] drx1: A power problem should not result in loss of old files. If /sbin is gone then your best bet is to re-install. [01:52] Jordan_U: it was writing data to that drive when the power may have failed [01:52] drexl: Audio CDs don't contain filesystems and thus cannot be "mounted". Use one of many applications for ripping / playing / listing songs from an audio CD. [01:53] Jordan_U: why do you say extundelete is not a good choice? [01:53] ya but I can't even mount the thing [01:53] Jordan_U: I can't mount it [01:53] 1. What I am trying to accomplish: [01:53] I have a wired connection to my desktop and want to make it announce that connection via wifi so I can see it from my laptop wirelessly and connect to it. [01:53] 2. The specific steps I am using to try to accomplish it: [01:53] Setup wireless ad-hoc and named connection and made a unique SSID. Didn't add security and left everything alone. [01:53] 3. What I expect will happen when I perform those steps: [01:53] worrow: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:53] drexl: You don't need to "mount" it (and it's not possible to). [01:53] I expect to see my connection wirelessly from other computers [01:53] o [01:54] he prolly is looking for the command to mount media [01:55] drexl: some GUI file explorers act as if they mount the things, but it's just transparently switching to ripping audio mode really. there may be something in FUSE that does the same for console. but you really want to rip them with a program that lets you choose quality and stuff [01:55] evening, all [01:55] did my paste show? [01:55] drx1: A power outage alone might cause the new files that were being written at the time to not be written, but existing files (even if they were being overwritten) should not have been lost. /sbin certainly existed before whatever writes were being made when the machine lost power. [01:55] drexl: also, if you dont either have ubuntu-restricted-extras and or the right codecs, it may not be seen also [01:56] As of late, been having an issue where my laptop touchpad simply stops responding. I have to rmmod psmouse then reload it.. Looking at dmesg, it seems to coincide with weirdness with the iwlagn module. Any ideas? [01:56] worrow: don't paste in the channel please, see topic [01:56] Hi. I have three computers, running Ubuntu, and an NFS server, running Arch Linux. On two of my computers, I have read/write access to shares exported by the server. The third computer has read-only access. I am trying to figure out why.

[01:57] Thanks! guys i just used my audio program and I'm listening to a clockwork orange. cheers [01:57] drx1: extundelete is a hit or miss thing which is used when you need to recover *information* and *documents* which would otherwise need to be re-researched / written / be unrecoverable. Files in /sbin come from packages and can be re-attained easily. And if you re-install you know you won't still be missing any important files which might come back to bite you later. [01:58] Corey, did you see my paste? [01:58] hi people [01:58] worrow: No, you didn't hlight me with it. [01:58] Jordan_U: I didn't install this box originally, so it would be better for me to extundelete if it will work [01:58] scroll up a bit [01:58] I hope to be someday like you guys [01:59] I don't use IRC much and people assume I know all these rules and tricks [01:59] howdy [01:59] !pastebin | worrow [01:59] worrow: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

You're the one with the problem, it's your call. :-) [02:01] jordan, it asked me to make a username and pass [02:01] My wireless doesn't work with the latest Ubuntu [02:01] anyone know about mt [02:02] worrow: It asked for a username. Make one up. [02:02] No password.

[02:03] Corey, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/770716/ [02:04] jordan, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/770716/ [02:04] all------> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/770716/ [02:04] Good morning :) Is it normal when connecting to Ubuntu from Win7 via VNC for it not to draw the interface correctly? I can see a snapshot of what was present at the time of connect, and can move the cursor, but via VNC i cannot see any interface menus when clicking, yet can see them on the monitor the ubuntu machine is on (Want to be able to work on the ubuntu machine without a monitor). [02:04] why is it so difficult to build extundelete from source? [02:05] worrow: Follow this guide: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ [02:05] hola? [02:05] drx1: what is the problem? === fernando is now known as Guest54413 [02:06] ohh [02:06] gracias [02:06] thanks [02:07] can anyone help me with configuring the way flash detects screens? using a multi head gfx card fullscreen flash is displaying improperly [02:07] somsip: ./configure doesn't work... log says g++ command not found on 4 lines and says config failed [02:08] my problem is I can not find the control center my xubuntu [02:08] drx1: and g++ is installed is it? [02:08] how do i find out what is using port 3000? [02:08] jordan, still a no go [02:09] drx1: If you insist on trying to use extundelete it's probably easiest to do it from an Ubuntu 11.10 liveCD/USB. Compiling from source is rarely easy (unless you're familiar with doing it) and I personally don't want to take more of my time to try to help you with it as I don't think it will be very productive. No offense intended, I just want to put my effort elsewhere at the moment. [02:09] somsip: I do not know [02:09] drx1: whs - and if the partition you want to recover from is mounted, you may well have overwritten remnants of the file(s) you are trying to recover [02:10] drx1: so your next step is evident [02:10] somsip: It's a default 10.10 installation [02:10] somsip: no work was done on it, though it did come up twice [02:11] drx1: "Do not save any more data to the partition with the deleted file for any reason! Doing so may overwrite your deleted data and sabotage any recovery effort." from http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ [02:12] somsip: yes, I have it, but it will not compile [02:12] and, yes, the drive is off line now [02:12] jordan, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/770723/ [02:12] drx1: you have told me the compilation error. So the next step should be clear [02:12] All http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/770723/ === raven is now known as _raven [02:12] somsip: install g++? [02:12] drx1: tada! [02:13] somebody [02:13] drx1, with /sbin lost or corrupted your chance of compiling it is not very likely [02:14] worrow: Click on the network manager applet and select "Edit Connections". Then go to the ad hoc connection that you're sharing internet *to* (not the ethernet connection you're getting internet from) and click "Edit". Then go to the IPv4 settings tab and makes sure that "Method" is set to "Shared to other computers". [02:15] somebody [02:15] i tried that [02:15] somsip: done,, now it says cannot find ext2fs library (and apt-get install ext2fs fails) [02:15] hello [02:15] is the netbookremix no longer being developed\/ [02:15] ..-..

[02:19] box: Can you install Unetbooin in meego? If so, that's the easiest way. If not, you can dd an Ubuntu 11.10 image to a drive and it will be bootable, but you need to be *very* careful when using dd. === psharmor is now known as tekoholic [02:19] somsip: it says I'm at the newest version [02:20] Which SSL install path do you want to use?

[02:59] w30, gracias hermanito [02:59] drx1: :) [03:00] somsip: at least your son has an excuse, he has been lied to, what's drx1's excuse? [03:00] tickleponey: ouch! :) drx1: just look around and find what you need. if you can't find it, maybe it aint there [03:04] on unity 2d, how to move the top bar (with title, menu, etc) to the bottom? [03:09] i know that you guys may think me crazy and weird but I am thinking about downgrading from 11.10 all the way down to 10.04 ... I know it sounds crazy but 11.x just not functional for my system [03:09] i know [03:09] I am crazy' [03:10] au_fait, downgrading = re-install [03:10] can i "chown" a process? or allow to processes from different users to signal each other? [03:10] is it owned by root ? [03:10] i know everyone loves unity but I love gnome and other stuff gfound in 10.x [03:10] no, not root [03:10] au_fait: not crazy - I regretted upgrading to 11.04 but ended up with another solution instead of downgrading [03:10] the signaling user is "nobody" though .. not sure if that matters [03:11] somsip? really? what is that? [03:11] bubbles, I think you can only do that if it starts out running as root and then calls setuid to another uid [03:11] quit [03:11] au_fait: maybe that was misleading - I disliked unity, so installed minimal install of 10.04 then put a simple WM on top of that. Maybe this is not helpful if you have hardware issues [03:11] au_fait, downgrading is not supported on any distro i know (other than NixOS) [03:11] *11.04 [03:11] the processes code has to be written to drop root priviledges after start up [03:11] so what do i do rfi? [03:11] somsip: maybe it's not, but I will at least backup the data, etc. btw, how do you get permissions on a foreign drive without messing it up if indeed it does get fixed? [03:12] oh crappers [03:12] or like write a small wrapper script around what you want to run [03:12] but it upgraded to 11.04 [03:12] and what would that do? [03:12] au_fait, upgrading is an one-way path on ubuntu [03:12] au_fait: yeah - I'm okay with the current releases as long as i keep my minimal setup and avoid gnome/unity/bloat [03:12] Make Money Using Facebook http://fb.weightdeals.com/ [03:12] ah ok. [03:13] drx1: not sure - maybe safest to mount as root and poke around on there as root. [03:13] nobody knows how to move the top bar (with title, menu, etc) to the bottom, on unity 2d? [03:13] bubbles, can you give me some background on this ? is this a proces you cant stop and just restart as a different user ? [03:13] seems like 10.x ran faster on my old amd 586 too [03:14] oh well, pull out 10.x and reinstall [03:14] dark: last post I found from Sep suggested the functionality is not there [03:14] au_fait: is it just speed or are there hardware probs? [03:14] somsip: it won't let me. [03:14] both [03:14] how do you get permissions on a foreign drive without messing it up if indeed it does get fixed? [03:14] mostly hardware [03:14] rfi its a small script that is called by postfix on incoming mails, and sends the data via ipc to another process, and signals the process when doing so [03:14] drx1: so the drive is b0rked? [03:14] before I could dual screen wioth no problem' [03:15] au_fait: ok - maybe best option then [03:15] somsip: only the 2nd partition [03:15] drx1, foreign drive? what is this [03:15] * w30 's playing with kubuntu and xubuntu; No Unity or Gnome3 for me. [03:15] somsip: but, I would like to pull data from the 1st and 3rd [03:15] drx1: s/drive/partion [03:15] well thats going to run as whatever the parent postfix process runs as [03:15] somsip, I heard it almost 1 year ago. and I saw lots of people asking for it. I supposed.. it would be implemented [03:15] dark: a drive from another system (different users, permissions, etc) [03:16] the files it creates are for the user "nobody".. [03:16] somsip: s/drive/partition? [03:16] dark: I read about changed beingmade to allow more configuration for unity but it doesn't affect me so the info doesn't sink in [03:16] drx1, hmm but it's an unix drive? I think you can "translate" UIDs and so on [03:16] this maybe something you want to check with postfix documntation about, it may have a build in setting/feature to change what user it runs as [03:16] drx1: so it seems like the partiion is b0rked then === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [03:17] dark: the partitions are mounted but I do not have permissions to them and I want to go in & pull data but make sure it will work in the original computer if repaired [03:17] somsip: yes, I'm in the data recovery phase from the 2 good partitions [03:18] drx1, I think you should mount read-only, and read data as root [03:18] drx1, if you want to write data there, maybe it is easiest to create users with the right UIDs and edit with them [03:19] I thought Ubuntu doenst have root anymore, and that the first user (me) just had to sudo. I tried changing the password with sudo passwd root and it took the change but will not let me login as root nor su root... isnt that a new change in 10.10 over earlier rooty versions? [03:20] !root | drx1 [03:20] drx1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:20] uhm. o.o you can just sudo with your first user, and you will be the real root [03:20] can i make my whole homenetwork available just by initiating a ssh tunnel to it from a remote location? [03:20] drx1: so root user is there, but the intention is to make it inaccessible [03:20] Hey folks, quick question; I can't find the HP photosmart 5510 in the list of drivers. Should I just be using the generic, or should I look to download one off google? [03:20] ....or will i need some iptables thing for that too? [03:20] here, my root has a password (I just ran passwd as root..) [03:20] Akiva: check for support of this model in hplip [03:21] somsip: well do [03:21] somsip: hate that [03:21] somsip: stupid [03:21] somsip: anyway, what command am I sudoing to in order to pull data from the good partitions? [03:21] drx1: I used to think restrictions placed by people who know more than me were stupid to. now I accept they may have validity [03:21] drx1, the only common metadata that is system-specific is user ids and group ids. on the filesystem, they are just numbers. the mapping from those numbers to username and group names are stored on /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and it's this that is system-specific [03:22] dark: right, so how do I get permissions to the good partitions without changing those? [03:23] how can you make the recovery console bigger? [03:23] drx1, what about sudo su - ? if you just want to read [03:23] drx1, or, if you create users with the right IDs, you can use the partition normally with this user [03:23] Akiva, look for some additional drivers in the repos, there are more HP printer stuff in there [03:24] can someone help me connect to a webdav server in 11.04 with xfce [03:24] drx1: If you think that a partition table entry has been deleted but the filesystem is still completely intact you can use testdisk to restore the partition table entry. [03:24] w30: thanks! [03:24] actually, I did gain access as root, must have mistyped the passwd twice b4 -- huh! [03:24] Though one thing I do not understand, is that it says that this printer has full support, but it won't support its wireless networking... I think. [03:25] can i send signals to users in the same group? [03:25] Akiva: If the printer is supported when plugged in directly then it should also be supported over the network. [03:25] hello guys [03:25] anyone? Can one make a whole network available through ssh tunnels? [03:26] Jordan_U: thanks! [03:26] bubbles, http://tldp.org/LDP/tlk/ipc/ipc.html [03:26] today, i installed netbeans ide and found that the file menu is not integrating with the ubuntu top pane, just like libre office.. is there any fix for it? [03:26] Akiva: You're welcome :) [03:26] or do need to raise a bug for it? [03:27] drx1, with the command stat (or, clicking with the right button on nautilus, and going to properties), you can see the IDs. like, if you can't enter on some directory as your regular user, you can check the owner ID of it; a user with the same id will be able to enter there [03:27] Jordan_U: I will likely try that, could work unless it was formatted or scrabled. [03:27] abhijeet: Check if a bug report has already been made, and if not then file one yourself. [03:27] scrambled [03:27] !bug | abhijeet [03:27] abhijeet: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [03:27] abhijeet: do you use 'wname' to run netbeans? [03:27] dark: you can fix libre office [03:27] Jordan_U, ubottu ... sure.. [03:27] *before running netbeans... [03:27] somsip, nope.. [03:28] I have 32 Bit Ubuntu 11.10 installed on whole hard drive.How an I replace it with 64 bit without wiping my earlier storages? [03:28] robin0800, is it broken? [03:28] somsip, ok let me try that. [03:28] abhijeet: the bug that requires this is more that the java window does not populate - just a grey empty box. If you run "wmname LG3D" it fixes that. It might do something for the title bar too. Guesing [03:28] Akiva, check out hplip [03:29] dark: no that was to abhijeet about the menu's [03:30] how can you make the recovery console (shell) a higher resolution? [03:30] robin0800, yes.. I saw one fix .. but it is unstable at this time. [03:30] Akiva, hpijs-ppds looks promising [03:31] robin0800, anyway having menus for libreoffice on applicaton is good.. most of them are needed frequently :) [03:31] I have 32 Bit Ubuntu 11.10 installed on whole hard drive.How can I replace it with 64 bit without wiping my earlier storages? [03:31] somsip, do i need to install that package [03:31] abhijeet: from memory wmname is a very small package that is in the main repo [03:32] somsip, okay [03:34] somsip, disaster :( close, mini.. are gone from all the windows [03:34] somsip, how can i revert it back?? [03:34] abhijeet: you may well need to restart xsession to reset wname. Not sure. [03:34] rebooting will solve the problem? [03:34] abhijeet: I would imagine so [03:34] researcher123, easy, start the 64 bit installation, choose to decrease your current partition to make space for the 64 bit version [03:35] okay.. let me try it === asus is now known as Guest78066 [03:49] almost 5 mins with no problems :) [03:49] wow [03:51] only getting 1024x768 in my choice of options for Monitor settings, any idea why?

[04:08] dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/770791/ I tried Ubuntu 11.10 and it worked, but I wanted to downgrade [04:08] dr_willis: do I need to upgrade linux kernel? [04:08] oh sorry, ok well I installed wow on my inspiron mini, it has an N10 family integrated graphics controller. I don't seem to have a driver but I read that it is because it comes with lubuntu. basically I log into wow and and it crashes. it is very laggy before it crashes. [04:09] niftylettuce: could be you need ewer kernel, or xorg, or drivers... [04:09] xorg doesn't exist according to terminal... [04:10] grubbles: it doesn't nowadays, by default [04:10] dr_willis: im pretty sure its the kernel, i read somewhere only 3.x.x something or other worked with semaphores [04:10] grubbles: you mean /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

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 [04:11] niftylettuce: theres alwsays xfce, or lxde, or kde.. or roll your own [04:11] sudo patch << it says that command is not found.... I thought that was a command? [04:11] U-b-u-n-t-u: maybe it's not installed. [04:11] niftylettuce: is there a fix? [04:11] ah ok [04:11] grubbles: there is in some vers of kernel 3.x.x [04:12] U-b-u-n-t-u: patch is a command, but one that's not installed by default. But for now *stop*. Why are you trying to run patch as root? This sounds misguided. [04:12] trying to sent an calendar event to outlook users, using evolution; but they are receiving it as plain text!

How come? Isnt str a pointer to the first element that is H? Should i have to deference it to get the value H instead of just changing the format specifier?

[04:26] hotspot and ad-hoc are different things [04:26] and if you only wanted to share with one other, ad-hoc will do the job [04:27] actually i want to share connection with android [04:27] Where do i ask for a cloak? In which channel? [04:27] ad-hoc + ICS = hotspot aint it. [04:27] then ad-hoc wiill probably work for you then. [04:27] you want to get to the internet through the android? or the otherway?

The supported ways to hide your IP address on freenode are to use !Tor or get a !cloak [06:00] etrask: AIUI LTS only updates for security issues. [06:00] tor doesnt work [06:00] whats a cloak [06:00] !cloak pehden [06:00] !cloak | pehden [06:00] pehden, please see my private message [06:01] somsip: I see, thanks [06:01] ubottu, I've had a similar question about proxy-ing under Ubuntu. [06:01] CrownWheel: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:01] bot 1, human 0 [06:01] Turing test - passed. [06:01] hehe [06:01] awesome [06:01] how do you know it's not bot 1 - bot 0? [06:01] anyone have any experience dual booting a mac (specifically a macbook/pro) with ubuntu?? Or, alternatively, know of a better channel to ask in??? [06:02] (btw, I'm flattered) [06:02] !cloak | CrownWheel [06:02] CrownWheel: To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. [06:02] !mac [06:02] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [06:02] I will answer questions for the next 15 minutes, then sleep time. [06:03] So here's an odd question... for reasons no doubt relating to my neuroses I need to install the GRUB bootloader to a partition instead of the MBR, however the latest versions of the Ubuntu alternate installer fail on this step [I think since it started using GRUB 2?] [06:03] dr_willis I have that page bookmarked. rEFIt isn't loading properly, and the sourceforge page doesn't have info on the issue (they say they're trying to solve the particular issue) [06:03] !FloodBot1 [06:03] I get the system fully installed but the "Install a bootloader" step fails, with a "Cannot stat [hard drive/partition]" error message [06:04] etrask, you can with the live cd. [06:04] ZoeyMarie, Sounds like there's not much you can do until someone releases a patch. [06:04] urlin2u: just use the live CD to create a GRUB install for the already-installed system? will that work? [06:05] Jon: they've been "investigating" the issue for at least a year, I believe... I know it's been done, but I was specifically hoping that there might be someone on here that has done it. [06:05] etrask, so we are on the same page, can you describe whats goi ng on. [06:05] ZoeyMarie, Possibly. You'd have more luck posting on the Ubuntu forums I think though. [06:05] New Wallpaper -> http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Swirl+of+neon+paint?content=147612 [06:05] :) [06:05] hi...how can know how much ram my system is using [06:05] I just put rEFIt on a CD, to boot it that way (rather than trying to install it through the package installer), but then my eyes got a little crossed when I realized that I needed to boot Ubuntu off CD as well. [06:06] how do you mount an Android tablet? does Ubuntu still use /etc/fstab? [06:06] ! register [06:06] 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 [06:06] etrask, but yes you can chroot in and purge and install grub as well as the actual bootloader I suspect. [06:06] from alive cd [06:06] urlin2u: sure. I have Windows 7 installed on a hard drive [2 partitions] and am installing ubuntu onto two other partitions on the same hard drive. However I have the Windows MBR replaced with the TrueCrypt one, since I have both Windows partitions encrypted. The default installers don't detect this setup and think they're alone on the hard drive === Frijolie is now known as frijolie [06:07] how do you mount an Android tablet? does Ubuntu still use /etc/fstab? [06:07] urlin2u: so what I've done in the past is leave the MBR untouched, setup another partition [/boot] to be bootable and put GRUB there, so I can press escape at the TrueCrypt prompt to go into Linux [06:07] me-1: type "free -bl" in a terminal [06:08] me-1: or just "free" ;p [06:08] Jon, I will try that. I haven't posted on the forums in a whiiiiile, and my experience has been a little slow with them... thus, I thought talking to someone might be quicker. [06:08] etrask, not sure as far as your set up but this site should give you some answers. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading [06:08] urlin2u: but when I install now with 11.10, the bootloader install step fails at trying to install to /dev/sdb3 [or whatever it is] with a "Cannot stat [device]" error [06:09] Anyone know if there is a dual-boot ubuntu channel?? [06:09] how would I search a series of directories ( recup* ) for *.txt files containing nz email addresses (ie strings with @*.nz) [06:09] urlin2u: ah, I will check that out, thanks [06:09] ZoeyMarie: there is no need for a channel like that, ask your question here === jack1 is now known as jacksparrow [06:10] hi [06:10] Al_nz1: grep -r -i @*.nz /root_dir, possibly [06:10] how do I know whether to use fstab or mtab? [06:10] etrask, I haven't used the alternative for a long time so I can't really say whats up, other than the live cd will install the bootloader where you want, the grub2 page tells you how to use the live cd to get into the OS if installed [06:10] iceroot I just was, and people directed me to the forums. I was hoping to talk to someone, so I thought maybe there would be another channel. I am trying to dual-boot my macbookrpo, and having some difficulties with it. (and I have the !mac link bookmarked) [06:11] !details | ZoeyMarie [06:11] ZoeyMarie: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [06:11] somsip: just not sure where in there I specify the path? ie /home/al/recup* ? [06:11] Al_nz1: wherever the files are situated [06:11] Al_nz1: grep pattern path [06:11] ryanCH: if i want results in MBs..? not in kbs [06:12] urlin2u: thank you for the help, i'll wrestle with this more after I've had sleep [06:12] me-1: just "free -m" [06:12] ryanCH: thank you [06:13] iceroot, I am attempting to dual-boot my macbookpro with ubuntu, the rEFIt program wouldn't install correctly through the package installer, and the drawbacks of manual installation were too much of, well, a drawback, I currently have rEFIt on a CD, but am unsure as to how booting the Ubuntu CD while the rEFIt CD is in the drive will work...

Could be caused sometimes by using "sudo nautilus" afaik. [06:18] rumpe1: fail [06:19] ;-) [06:19] quick question for y'all... trying to downgrade to 10.04LTS and I created a bootable USB but it keeps booting to the existing installation on my SSD drive... any ideas why? does it autodetect and boot it? [06:20] nubfilter, Ensure USB booting is enabled in BIOS and is a higher priority than SSD. [06:20] nubfilter: depends on the pc esc or f8 normaly to get to a boot emnu [06:20] gogeta, fail? [06:20] nubfilter: then slect the usb drive or as he said change the bios settings [06:20] yes, I followed the same procedure installing freebsd and 11.10 on this machine... [06:20] For those of you waiting for openswave, it is now up here: http://code.google.com/p/openswave [06:20] it starts reading USB after i select it in boot menu then hops to the existing install [06:20] Its in GPLv3 [06:20] and Open Source [06:21] nubfilter: areyou slecting boot from hdd lol [06:21] nibalizer: thats in the list [06:21] if you have any questions, send me an email at coolstarorganization@gmail.com [06:21] yes I'm selecting the USB drive from the boot menu [06:22] it's the only one out of 8 that says Kingston lol [06:22] nubfilter: no when the usb boots it has another menu and the first option is to start whatever is on the hdd [06:22] that's just it.. i'm not getting that menu it goes strait into 11.10 that's installed on physical disk [06:22] nubfilter: it might be defulting there [06:22] nubfilter: ah [06:22] i've even tried holding F6 right after selecting the USB drive [06:23] 1 second later i'm on a login screen for 11.10 [06:23] well.. 2 seconds [06:23] nubfilter: are you sure you created the usb disk correctly? [06:23] nubfilter: you make it with unetbootin? [06:23] i've found it to be kindof hard to do that right the first time [06:23] nubfilter: if your trying to us =e the bult in tool on a older version it may be doing it wrong [06:24] I'm using osx, converted from iso to img, renamed got rid of the .dmg, then burned with dd [06:24] same way i did the 11.10 install [06:24] nubfilter: stange maybe you lost something there [06:25] I turned off my wif using the menu at the top and uncheck the "enable wireless" or whatever it's called. [06:25] Now, whatever I do I can't turn it on. It's grayed out. [06:25] pilgo: some drivers like to blow up when you do that restaring fixes it [06:26] I tried to turn it on from Windows but booting into Ubuntu turns wireless off again [06:26] I might try disconnecting the SSD and see if usb will boot.... one sec [06:26] gogeta: Oh, I've restarted more than once :) [06:26] pilgo: and it didnt come back as on === tfilipczuk is now known as makaka === rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234 [06:26] pilgo: do sudo ip net up wlan0 [06:26] pilgo: i probly did that wrong [06:26] gogeta: Nope. The physical button does nothing. The menu is frayed out. Windows works though but turns off when I boot into ubuntu [06:27] pilgo: ip link set wlan0 up [06:27] pilgo: thats the cli command to turn it on [06:27] oh! [06:28] pilgo: sudo ip link set wlan0 up [06:28] normaly wlan0 is the defult card name [06:29] gogeta: I'll try that in one sec. [06:30] hmmmm guess something weird did happen with the usb this time [06:30] * nubfilter shrugs [06:30] pilgo: well thats the command to tell the softwhere to turn the card on [06:31] pilgo: if the gui is not working for some reasion or it will fail and tell you why [06:31] just a little to excited to get my oracle back i guess lol. noticed I didn't do the dd with sudo, perhaps that is the issue [06:31] pilgo: rather then just a gray box [06:32] nubfilter: yea probly [06:32] nubfilter: remake it see if it works [06:33] nope... must be corrupted ISO i suppose. back to square 1 lol [06:33] nubfilter: i have no idea why the untebootin guys never did a osc version [06:34] nubfilter: Are you trying to boot the USB drive from a mac or a normal PC? [06:34] nubfilter: if you use a dl manager they do tend to cruppt isos [06:34] nubfilter: md5 it you will knoe if its bad [06:34] Jordan_U: it boots but goes to his old install [06:34] yes... going to do that just as soon as it finishes downlaoding [06:36] anyone happen to know where the md5s are for 10.04.3 server x64 iso? [06:36] nubfilter: should be on the same site you got em [06:36] !md5sums | nubfilter [06:36] nubfilter: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [06:36] nubfilter: Are you trying to boot the USB drive from a mac or a normal PC? [06:36] thanks [06:36] !md5sums [06:37] Jordan_U: download .iso on mac, convert to .img, write to USB with DD, boot on 'server' machine (not a mac). [06:37] nubfilter: Then you need to *not* convert it to a different filesystem (iso to "img"). Just dd the iso as is to the drive (and *not* to a partition, this is important). [06:37] Jordan_U: booting was not the issue it ran his key then started 11.10 [06:38] Jordan_U: yea i had a felling the conversion was losing some data [06:38] I'm following the exact same procedure this time as when I installed 11.10, but it looks like (after removing SSD connectors) the image was corrupted somehow so I'm redownloading the ISO and going to MD5 it [06:38] gogeta: It's losing the bootloader. [06:39] I just couldn't install oracle on 11.10 because a few things have changed and oracle is very picky [06:39] nubfilter: yea dd the iso it might have worked before becouse it saw nothing and defukted to install [06:39] nubfilter: Following the OSX instructions on the Ubuntu download page will never make something that is bootable on a non [U]EFI machine. [06:39] defulted [06:40] my understanding is that you cannot just dd a .iso file to a usb drive because iso file is ISO-9660 format and that is not how you write something to disk [06:40] nubfilter: dd does not care [06:40] you can, however, do that to a CD === Justasic_ is now known as Justasic [06:42] nubfilter: You're understanding is incorrect. BIOS based firmware knows nothing about filesystems or partitions, it just loads the first sector of the drive into memory and jumps to it, everything else is up to that code. [06:42] nubfilter: when it comes to make live cds its ok ebing your not writing data back [06:42] being [06:43] nubfilter: so it the bios and even the kernel its a cd [06:44] nubfilter: It's true that you normally don't use iso9660 filesystems on writeable media for practical reasons, but that doesn't change the fact that Ubuntu isos (as of Ubuntu 11.10) are bootable when dd'd to a drive unmodified. [06:44] I am attempting to dd a 10.04LTS server ISO to USB media to boot on my server [06:44] nubfilter: That will fail. [06:44] Jordan_U: ? [06:45] correct... which is why you must conver it to IMG first, right? [06:45] Jordan_U: your right didnt lts have some bug with that [06:45] nubfilter: No. [06:46] gogeta: nubfilter: Being able to dd the image and create a drive which is bootable with BIOS based firmware is a new feature in Ubuntu 11.10. It was not possible with previous versions of Ubuntu. [06:46] bummer. [06:46] Jordan_U: rite you gotta dump the files and use sys linux dont you [06:46] so I need to go buy a dvdr? [06:47] nubfilter: I can create a netinstall image of Ubuntu 10.04 for you which you can dd to a drive and have bootable from BIOS based system. [06:47] it worked with 2 versions of freebsd, and 11.4, and 11.10 lol [06:47] ubuntu's default of colouring grep's output is screwing up my command - anyone know how to turn it off? [06:47] nubfilter: That would be easiest. [06:47] Jordan_U: ok [06:47] nubfilter: does the linux box still live [06:48] pnorman: It shouldn't use colors when piped to other commands, or in scripts (as it's an alias). [06:48] Ah, nevermind, got it working [06:48] nubfilter: friggin unetbootin the iso [06:48] nubfilter: they dump the fils and use there own boot laoder [06:48] does unetbootin have a version for osx? [06:48] nubfilter: no :9 windows and linux [06:48] :( [06:49] nubfilter: soorry they now have a osx version [06:49] nubfilter: If you wait about an hour I'll probably have time to make you an image you can use (I need to leave now). It will need to be the netinstall (which downloads all packages during install) though since I don't have the upload bandwidth for anything else. [06:49] nubfilter: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [06:50] Jordan_U: that will get the job done :) [06:50] gogeta: thanks, I'll give it a try [06:50] nubfilter: slect the iso and the drive to use and let it go [06:51] nubfilter: i guess enough mac users screamed lol [06:51] should I unmount the partition first or is it smart enough? [06:51] nubfilter: it uses it mounted [06:51] nubfilter: good idea to format it clean to fat [06:51] fat32 [06:52] nubfilter: when its done rather the reboot unmount put in other pc [06:53] let me ask a quick question before I go doing a net install... can this be done with dd or some other utility on 11.10 easy enough? [06:53] nubfilter: the tool i gave you is easy and it works well [06:53] Software developer, three years university experience so far, 6 months in industry.

First 1-2 that sound cool, you got me. ;) [06:53] ^ apologies for off-topic [06:54] Jon--_: kill unity [06:54] lol [06:54] gogeta, Hah. [06:54] gogeta: doesn't show USB drive in drop-down [06:54] nubfilter: it should show the drive [06:55] gogeta: dropdown is empty, usb is connected. tried unmounting also still nothing [06:55] nubfilter: re connect it then reopen === Jon--_ is now known as Jon-- [06:56] nubfilter: the usb drive should be listed [06:56] gogeta: negative [06:56] Jon--: go help the guys at mate get gnome 2 back [06:56] oh well [06:57] mate is not going to "get gnome 2 back" [06:57] nubfilter: is type set as usb drive [06:57] tensorpudding: mate is gnome 2 ported to gtk 3 [06:58] that's not "get gnome 2 back" [06:58] gogeta: yes [06:58] people i need to access my ubuntu server GUI from windows - how can i ? [06:58] gogeta: going to try this (which is pretty much exactly what i did before) [06:58] http://blog.duvrazh.com/2011/11/27/how-to-make-a-bootable-linux-usb-in-mac-os-x-lion/ [06:58] nubfilter: maybe you gotta run it as admin or something [06:59] nubfilter: HFS or NTFS-formatted USB drives won't be listed [07:00] people i need to access my ubuntu server GUI from windows - how can i take it remote ? [07:00] solofight: vnc, or ssh+xming, or freenx, and putty of course [07:00] i have a dir that is webroot and that the webserver-user (www-data) needs access to, but i also have a ftp user that needs access to it for uploading that i got working now- the ftp user can upload to it. but files i have uploaded give me "403 forbidden" when trying to view them in my browser afterwards. It starts to work when I manually chmod the file to 777, or if I chown it to www-data. [07:00] but ftp uploads are auto-set to be owned by the ftp user not www-data,and arent chmod' to 777 either.. any idea what i can do to make it work? [07:00] solofight: its odd that a 'serve' has a desktop [07:01] solofight, have you tried webmin? [07:01] pybit: nope [07:01] is anyone here interested in a shockwave player for ubuntu? [07:01] dont use webmin.... forget it exists [07:01] dr_willis: putty for GUI remote ! [07:01] heh [07:01] coolstar: lol no [07:01] its open source [07:01] solofight: with xming... yes. [07:01] coolstar: who uses shockwave [07:02] coolstar: I can appreciate you're tryin gto drum up interest in your new project, but this is not the place [07:02] its used in almost every 3d online game [07:02] webmin is for noobs [07:02] coolstar: no unity is' [07:02] lol [07:02] somebody asking for a sever desktop falls into that class [07:02] gogeta: look at miniclip.com [07:02] gogeta: only flash and shockwave games [07:02] installed minimal ubuntu into virtualbox twice. both times I see the ubuntu 11.1 splash at boot then just blinking curser ??

[07:07] coolstar: with flash pulling from mobile i say with the next few years its going to be gone from most sites [07:07] solofight: xming gives you a x server on windoes. you then use the x forwarding feature of ssh.. xming has wizards to automate this. [07:07] coolstar: many aruldy have in protest [07:08] dr_willis: :( x server on windows ! ? il install the xming in my windows machine to check what that means [07:08] solofight: xming is an x server.. [07:08] dr_willis: an x server is ? [07:09] gogeta: There's still a ton of fun shockwave games out there [07:09] solofight: is this a local lan or over the internet? [07:09] I downloaded ".diff" patch file. how can I use it on ubuntu 11.10? [07:09] dr_willis: can be both [07:09] coolstar: never been a fan on it its slow compared to better things [07:10] coolstar: flash linux is total suck and fail anyways [07:10] solofight: then you might want to look into 'nx' also - such as freenx [07:10] coolstar: cpu eater [07:10] dr_willis: ssh + xming + freenx ? [07:10] solofight, Yes, you will have to do this. I believe PuTTY comes bundled with something if you install it though, is that correct dr_willis ? [07:10] maum: it depends on what you are trying to do with it, from the terminal: man diff [07:10] hi. [07:10] solofight: or freenx.. depends onyour needs [07:11] Hey guys .. we are at school..and we want to isntall google chrome [07:11] can you help us ? [07:11] solofight: learn ssh... then learn about xming, freenx also uses ssh i belive [07:11] !chrome [07:11] ye.

[07:15] hi, does anyone know how i can make my graphics faster again in ubuntu oneiric. in lucid it was fast enough, but when i switched to oneiric, i can feel some stress everytime i was dragging a window [07:15] Essentially, left-click+right-click (both upon press and also upon release until another click) = scroll with trackball. [07:15] milamber: how can I apply this? [07:15] Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempted 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. However, surprisingly, xinput is limited to one event per button. So, I'm looking for alternatives. [07:15] sadly still no success. I suppose I'll just hunt for a dvdr [07:16] what is the smallest ubuntu install .. no frills just base system .. no desktop and no extra packages ?? [07:16] TACPILOT: base cli [07:16] gogeta: shockwave is for 3d games, not videos btw [07:16] coolstar: even 3d games [07:16] gogeta: shockwave is for silly website based 'games'. [07:16] coolstar: all the calls are in stock flash [07:17] gogeta: I downloaded a .dcr, and its only 4-5 MB, and its a 3d racing game [07:17] coolstar: wish i could find you some relly old school ones [07:17] TACPILOT: the lightest ubuntu installation i know is Xubuntu [07:17] I just installed mincd with command line install and it included all kinds of nonsense .. is that not the right iso ? [07:17] TACPILOT: did you slect server or base [07:18] anyways, if you guys with to contribute, all you need is git, ubuntu, and some c/shockwave/c++ knowledge. http://code.google.com/p/openswave/ [07:18] TACPILOT: nonsense? [07:18] TACPILOT: base should be enough to get to bash and some tools [07:18] was not one of the options [07:18] TACPILOT: bas eor cli [07:18] or [07:18] all kinds of destiop stuff [07:18] TACPILOT: shouldn't do [07:18] !ot | coolstar [07:18] coolstar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:19] TACPILOT: oh yea i think its in advanced under expert install [07:19] milamber: ? [07:19] the iso is called minicd .. at boot the screen has options for install or command line install or advanced verions of both [07:19] TACPILOT: with that you can do base install and skip insalling the besktop stuff [07:19] desktop [07:19] hi, does anyone know how i can make my graphics faster again in ubuntu oneiric. in lucid it was fast enough, but when i switched to oneiric, i can feel some stress everytime i was dragging a window! tnx [07:19] maum: i would really just find the file and remove the 2 lines [07:20] TACPILOT: yea do expert install [07:20] I never saw a base option and tried both the command line install and advanced command line install [07:20] TACPILOT: its called ecpert now [07:20] expert [07:20] yes meant advanced = expert [07:20] TACPILOT: should be like expert cli [07:20] TACPILOT: should give you a bunch of menus [07:20] milamber: I have the source file but there is no file named "profile" except "profiler.py" [07:21] guys [07:21] look [07:21] TACPILOT after basic install skip slecting packages [07:21] Reading package lists... Done [07:21] Building dependency tree [07:21] Reading state information... Done [07:21] E: Couldn't find package g++-multilib [07:21] rootmark@edubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install apache2 wdiff lighttpd php5-cgi sun-java6-fonts \ [07:21] prodr1fterx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:21] not see cli but it litterally says "expert command line install" I am getting the feeling there are 2 tyoes of cli [07:21] TACPILOT: but if you really want to get your hands dirty in the expert mode, you might want to try Gentoo and/or Arch [07:22] maum: what about py26-wxpython ? [07:22] needing the ubuntu package repos for this project [07:22] TACPILOT: i see... [07:22] so need super small footprint to provision nodes with [07:23] stateless cluster [07:23] milamber: there is no file like that. [07:23] TACPILOT: yea arch by defult is base install only [07:23] TACPILOT, Lubuntu went on my netbook with an eight point six gig ssd drive with graphics, networking, word processors browsers and had over 3 gig leftover [07:23] these machines will have no drives [07:24] TACPILOT: ubuntu kinda burryed there base installer but you do it threw expert installer command line i beleve and just skip slecting packages [07:24] try slax [07:24] naa arch its base by nature [07:24] tiny core linux. 10mb. ;) [07:24] 400mb installed [07:25] maum: looking at the bug it might be in setup.py ? [07:25] * dr_willis missed the actual support question [07:25] or run live with Persitance mode [07:25] I tried that first .. before trying the normal command line install .. neither give a login prompt when done [07:25] dr_willis: doing a ubuntu base install i forgot they burryed it [07:25] I can try again with expert version [07:25] milamber: the error happened when "python setup.py build" [07:26] TACPILOT: yes expert is what you whant [07:26] it the machines have no hd... what are you installing to? [07:26] TACPILOT: your normal options but all in a list stylr [07:26] style [07:26] Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempted 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. However, surprisingly, xinput is limited to one event per button. So, I'm looking for alternatives. [07:26] TACPILOT: you will see install base system [07:26] dr_willis yeah I have seen them and I even put together a custion DSL distro for papa john's pizza a while back [07:26] TACPILOT: then skip over slect packages and do the configs boot loader etc [07:27] I need ubuntu repos for this project though [07:27] TACPILOT: you will have a basic ubuntu [07:27] * w30 wonders if muinux is still going; it fit on one 3.5 floppy disk [07:27] TACPILOT: those all install with base [07:27] gogeta: will try again TY [07:28] TACPILOT: it used to be a option i forgot they burryed it [07:28] help: http://www.pastie.org/3019706 http://www.pastie.org/3019714 [07:28] heck I would be happy if I could just get a list of packages for a base install and where to get the base directory structure [07:28] thats really all I am trying to find with these installs [07:28] TACPILOT: well it does kinda scrool buy everything it does [07:28] old ubuntu [07:29] TACPILOT: yea thats expert command line [07:29] TACPILOT: as i said just skip over slect packages thats whats installs the desktop stuff [07:29] !jeos [07:29] JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System.

[07:30] k [07:30] TACPILOT: ah yes jeos forgot abought them [07:30] dr_willis: will take a look tnx [07:30] lol it redirected me to virtulazion [07:31] jeos ubuntu musta died [07:31] not sure if jeos is sill actively developed [07:31] :( [07:31] TACPILOT: but my methed works :) [07:31] will try again TY [07:31] what if you purge the cache [07:31] ive seen premade vbox ubuntu setups/vdks also' [07:32] of apt [07:32] a few jeOS's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_enough_operating_system [07:32] sun still has one [07:32] I cant get the vbox installs to even give me a promt of any kind [07:32] i mean suse [07:32] hi, does anyone know how i can make my graphics faster again in ubuntu oneiric. in lucid it was fast enough, but when i switched to oneiric, i can feel some stress everytime i was dragging a window! tnx [07:32] TACPILOT, check out this page of tiny Linuxes: http://www.micheleandreoli.it/mulinux/tiny.html [07:32] or apt-get clean to erase old packages [07:32] /whowas jon-- [07:32] boots a quick splash screen and then just blinking curser [07:32] a well [07:33] he will be good with base ubuntu its just they like to forget some of use like command line [07:33] !nomodeset [07:33] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

I put in a DVD with data into my DVD drive and cannot find it anyhwere, anyone know where I might look? [07:42] and oh is that what its called..how would i reset it?

[07:44] yes of course [07:45] removing and reinstalling the package using aptitude will not resolve. [07:45] how do i set a nick?

[07:46] RokcStar: sudo apt-get --purge remove package name all purge does is delete the config files of said app === flack-Z is now known as flack [07:47] srfc21: are you building a development machine or a production one? [07:47] RokcStar: normaly there left behind in case you get the app again and it rembers its old configs [07:47] solofight_: i tend to use the xming wizard to launch gnome-terminal, then run whaterver i need from that term. [07:47] devkorcvince: production [07:47] sometimes some apps store configurations elsewhere and you have to manually find the file, right? [07:48] is make a compiler utility?? [07:48] RokcStar: purge cleans em out [07:48] devish: mostly [07:48] srfc21: have your tried rvm? [07:48] i see [07:48] devkorcvince: rvm yields "command not found" [07:48] RokcStar: handy if you mess up a apps config and whats it back to stock pruge reinstall it [07:49] yes i didnt know that [07:49] srfc21: nope rvm is a ruby version management app [07:49] good tip [07:49] is there a way to change between 3 keyboard layouts ?

[07:54] devkorcvince: and then what, reinstall the rubygems distro package? [07:54] RokcStar: its just the defult config for mice is to share the same point [07:55] RokcStar: it can be changed just been years sence i did it [07:55] srfc21: yap but i prefer using the rvm tool [07:55] devkorcvince: alright, thanks for the rvm tool tip, I'll give that a shot and then go nuclear if necessary. [07:55] RokcStar: some vnc software does it by defult [07:56] srfc21: no prob mate welcome [07:56] RokcStar: you will see the connected guys pointer and your own [07:56] devkorcvince: One more quick question: is it normal to have these sorts of version problems with Ruby on Ubuntu? [07:56] yes but would both function at exactly the same time. like drawing [07:57] devkorcvince: Or did I screw something up from the initial install? [07:57] RokcStar: no they where totaly as there own device [07:57] I was originally just trying to get a diaspora pod up and running on an Ubuntu 10.10 VPS using these docs https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Installing-on-Ubuntu [07:58] RokcStar: he should be in workspace 2 and me in 1 using the same xserver [07:58] it's a very interesting thought tho [07:58] perhaps it can be done with different hardware and software [07:58] RokcStar: i have done it i knoe it works [07:58] I thought when using VNC the mouse is either controlled, or the local user can see the connected party's mouse but it can't actually control... [07:58] MoleMan: some vns will emulate 2 seprety deives [07:58] sepret [07:59] gogeta its like you drank for the fountain of youth and then forgot ha [07:59] #seperate :) [07:59] oops [07:59] MoleMan: he was talking abought 2 mouses on 1 screen [07:59] MoleMan: we where doing that year ago [07:59] MoleMan: with some vncs you have totally hidden desktops you connect to with a vncviewer [08:00] ive seen shared de3sktops i think with pointers.. not recently however [08:00] srfc21: yap ubuntu can't support multi ruby version [08:00] RokcStar: yea it used to be like joes mouse [08:00] RokcStar: had his name under it pretty cool [08:01] thats perhaps special pads could offer multiple touch points even if they weren't used as a multitouch device but as seperate devices [08:01] dr_willis: yea i cant rember what vnc did that [08:01] hmmm OK, was just saying what I thought based on my use of VNC but I haven't used it in a whilst. Also, its IRC channels like these that make me want to shoot myself when asking for support elsewhere [08:02] moleman..thats not cool [08:02] should I ask for help with dircproxy in here? [08:02] wait i read it wrong sorry. very cool. [08:02] RokcStar: well i knoe if you have a usb mouse and another usb mouse you can make them act on there own and not share the same pointer [08:03] RokcStar: heck even 2 keybords [08:03] RokcStar: you can make 1 work space totaly indenpendent of the other [08:03] RokcStar: and even share the same space [08:04] RokcStar: no its not, its just busy channels like this you get instant responses, and then I need help in irc://quakenet/TeamSpeak and you ask a question and several hours later noone has replied... [08:04] yes, actually the idea occured to me when using MyPaint on a touchscreen monitor but im not sure if MyPaint supports multitouch [08:05] so not only is it about hardware but if the program would run concurent inputs [08:05] RokcStar: yea your program would need to support multitouch [08:05] i see [08:06] RokcStar: as for multi inoputs this has beeing going on sense windows 98 [08:06] inputs [08:07] hi, my desktop sharing feature is grayed out, how do i enable it? [08:07] iluminator105: normaly mean roughter or firewall is blocking you [08:07] thank you gogeta for the tips on purge and xorg. i am going to look into it. have a nice time [08:07] see you [08:08] gogeta, roughter??? [08:10] Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempted 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. However, surprisingly, xinput is limited to one event per button. So, I'm looking for alternatives. [08:17] how can i check from the cli the other lan hosts i can see? [08:17] using samba? [08:18] clear [08:19] avernos, you want to use samba? or u just asking? [08:19] if you can use samba [08:20] just asking, i am not sure what options i have [08:20] you can use nmap localhost [08:20] Hi. I have apache/php reading from a directory in my accounts home directory, but PHP can't write files in that dir because I own them. How would I fix that? [08:20] wait, not that, [08:21] first do route -n [08:21] find the gateway ip [08:21] ryanmr: you could add the apache user to your group [08:21] then do nmap gateway ip/24 [08:21] nubfilter : and that is www-data, I think. How would I do that? [08:21] ryanmr: and make sure to chmod to give group permissions [08:21] such as 192.168.0.1/24 [08:22] nmap 192.168.0.1/24 [08:22] I sure do wish I could downgrade and not loose all the effort [08:22] EncRyptO, thanks let me try :) [08:22] ryanmr: dont know exact syntax off hand but it's something like useradd -G apacheuser yourgroup [08:22] i would consult google [08:22] then, make sure to chmod g+w to that directory [08:22] Ok, I'll try that. Thanks! [08:23] and apache can then write to it [08:23] ryanmr: the proper way is to setup Apazche mod_userdir [08:23] BUT [08:23] be warned apache will now have read access to your home directory and anything under your group [08:24] ryanmr: yes somsipis correct, or create a /var/www/yoursite folder and use that [08:24] ryanmr: with the /var/ww/yoursite probably being simplest on a one-user system [08:24] nubfilter : the problem I had with that is /var/www requires special permissons for me and it's harder to share via samba through the network [08:25] ryanmr: you want others to be able to write to your www dir over samba? [08:25] ryanmr you probably want to do the following: [08:25] create a folder /var/www/testsite [08:25] Over samba, my /ryan/www directory is writable, so I can code on windows and serve on ubuntu [08:26] create a group for the site [08:26] Hi. I'm creating my own distro, ubuntu based. Unfortunately, when I customize it using a chroot environment, I can't start services. For example: after installing samba, I executed "service smbd start" but it returns an error. This happens in a chroot environment and doesn't happen in a normal environment. How can I solve? thanks [08:26] [09:25] the same thing happens with mysql, for example [08:26] then add yourself AND apache to it [08:26] ryanmr: fair rnough. not awfully scary then [08:26] then configure FTP and use FTP to access the site remotely, samba or webdav is a horrendous way to do it [08:27] this way you have a local copy on your windows machine, and you deploy it to your test environment [08:27] FTP really sucks, compared to edit -> save, alt+tab -> refresh [08:27] ryanmr: side question - what IDE do you use? [08:27] With FTP, there's all this transfering [08:27] your IDE doesn't deploy on save? [08:27] Just notepad++? [08:27] nubfilter: tada! [08:27] :) [08:28] if you want that, use apache on your local windows machine [08:28] check out WAMP [08:28] ryanmr: ok - a nice but more complicate approach is to keep your source in a safe dir, and setup something (IDE, make file, whateveR) to copy any files over to /var/www on save [08:28] That would be scary. [08:28] how do i add existing user to group [08:29] ryanmr: but maybe overkill so I'l shut up [08:29] abhinav_singh: usermod -a -G {group} Puser} [08:29] well, it's not overkill, it's just a little cumbersome. but as a side note, what IDE do you suggest? [08:29] abhinav_singh: sudo adduser username groupname [08:29] ryanmr: each to their own. I use Netbeans [08:29] somsip has apoint, if you're going to be planning on doing any work for a larger company, best get in the habit of deploying code to a server... use a local (on yoru windows machien) for your in progress development then deploy to the server to fully test. [08:30] but username is already a existing user geirha [08:30] nubfilter : when I work away from home, I totally checkout with git do the traditional things [08:30] abhinav_singh: Yes. [08:30] ryanmr: but then you can get to 'have a local svn/git repo, and auto deploy from them with hooks' so your' committing to svn/git from linux or windows [08:31] ryanmr: ah - so local git server may be a workable solution [08:31] abhinav_singh: «Add an existing user to an existing group. If called with two non-option arguments, adduser will add an existing user to an existing group.» - man adduser [08:31] abhinav_singh: told you once - usermod -a -G {group} {user} [08:32] well, thanks guys. I'll go try those ideas. [08:33] ryanmr: I appreciate this has probably made it more complicated than you wanted it to be :) [08:33] yeah, pretty much :) [08:33] hi all , anyone installed ubuntu on sony vpc z217 [08:33] ryanmr: if you want to do the quick dirty solution, chmod the dir to give www-data access and go with the security risk until you want to get a more through fix. But this is bad advice [08:34] I think I'll try that first [08:36] how do i get regular gnome on ubuntu? i think they ruined it for everyone with that new thing that might be smart for tablets and such [08:36] Hello?

[08:41] it seems that whatever user is running that script does not have access to it, in any case [08:41] the wubi installer runs in windows which makes it difficult for people here who don't use windows to help you [08:43] a lot of us just refuse to use wubi also. or have given up on it.

[08:46] well [08:46] the bug report makes it sound like installing from wubi.exe with the iso in the directory does not have this issue [08:46] don't use wubi .... thats my advice [08:47] good morning/evening everyone, I come seeking help with resizing/moving partitions [08:47] So, Use the ISO?

[09:28] AdvoWork: it may help to tell us what the drive is going to be used for [09:28] AdvoWork, Depends on the use, but common ones are ext4,xfs and reifers. fat## are windows formats, linux-swap is just that used for the Linux Swap partition [09:30] thanks for your help people. it's name is notify-osd [09:30] you've been very helpful [09:30] AdvoWork: also notify-send [09:30] Amirh: also notify-send for command line [09:31] somsip: thanks dude [09:32] vikey [09:32] v [09:32] 大家好 [09:33] !cn [09:33] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [09:34] auronandace, deej1976 im going to use it to just store backup files, thats it [09:34] cn_ubuntu [09:35] AdvoWork, Go with ext4 for simplicity [09:37] hey guys.

No just kidding [10:01] >< [10:01] skypent: Um, that's a bit high, of course, but it's nothing serious, just a bit of video card load. [10:01] TrentonAdams: stop giving silly advice to people - he's asking for help, not a comedy routine [10:01] skypent: No, it shouldn't be a problem, as long as your monitor can handle that resolution.

[10:54] also is there a way to change the font size? [10:54] somsip: I don't want to reinstall, just to fix the package status [10:55] it didn't stop+start correctly, and so it is "half configured" now [10:55] ali3n0: I have no idea what you're meaning [10:55] ali3n0: but it's working smoothly?

Using Ubuntu Live CD? Some kind of "rescue CD"? Something else? [10:56] point is, if I run a configure, dpkg will run post-inst scripts, and stop postgresql [10:56] I don't want those post-install scripts to be run [10:57] BillyJoe: gparted on a live-cd [10:57] iceroot, okay! Is it safe? Will I need to backup all files? [10:57] BillyJoe: its always a good idea to have a backup [10:57] BillyJoe: not only in this case [10:58] iceroot, ok thanks!

(if it is important) [11:11] Milan1992, ahh I see the problem, you have 'noauto' hence its not automounting [11:12] just change to auto and try out? [11:12] just remove noauto [11:12] pfifo: list worked, but not sure what the config file would be [11:12] gast2root, usually config files are in /etc and have the extension .conf [11:13] pfifo: /dev/cdrom /home/szerver/film/DVD udf,iso9660 user,exec,utf8 0 0 ? or /dev/cdrom /home/szerver/film/DVD udf,iso9660 user,auto,exec,utf8 0 0 [11:13] so if a driver doesn't recognize the connected external monitor and i can't set the desired resolution for it, what can i do? can i set up x to maybe set an unsupported resolution? I heard x11 doesnt can bypass the bios for resolutions? Its an old s3g unichrome igp integrated graphics card and the default maximum supported is 1920x1440 - and i would like 1920x1080 -how can i go about it? Also, the extended monitor is cloned by default, [11:13] though not recognized in display settings- i can not see the mouse- can i get help with that also?

[12:40] [12:41] /quit [12:41] hiyas all [12:41] yes that is a strong statement maybe i have something not configured... but when i type my password the screen is not unlocked it asks me for the password again.. === amine is now known as pioneer_for [12:43] kl, are you sure you giving it the right password? [12:43] -5 [12:44] if i have quad core how come my CPU percentage hits 800 percent and shows 8 cores [12:44] happygolucky: probably HT [12:44] gunfire007: use debian on a webserver [12:44] pfifo : command line mode is broken up :/ [12:45] bobalazs, what do you mean? [12:45] yes it is the same as the one am giving when i press the change user button .. [12:45] my run `reset`? [12:45] its at some weird resolution and screen is half visible with broken up in two [12:46] gunfire007: ubuntu is better if you want newer software and a better usability on the gui, debian is better if you want a stable system for servers (imo) [12:46] startxd [12:46] bobalazs, im not sure, you should try rebooting and at grub menu edit the kernel line and add noX [12:46] meh xD [12:47] happygolucky, you have an Intel cpu with hyperthreading [12:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo <- anyone can link me to some article similar to this please? i am trying to get my desktop to login to wifi before prompting for screen [12:47] s/screen/login [12:47] iceroot: thanks :) [12:48] happygolucky, but as far as the 800% - what process is eating the cpu time? [12:50] compdoc, bitcoind [12:50] and gcc [12:50] hello [12:50] i'm having a problem with the screen on my netbook. nothing seems to fit my resolution and i can't increase it any more [12:51] Hi box. Have you installed drivers? [12:51] Hello from Germany! In ubuntu 11, it seems when i quit firefox, it somehow still occupies the top menu bar. when i go there with the mouse, i still see "file bookmarks" etc. any ideas? is there no more taskbar, where you can see wich applications are running? [12:52] Oh, and when I try to click on the menu bar, nothing happens. [12:52] Go to System Monitor. [12:52] davorlozic01 it's the correct drivers and maximum supported resolution 1024x600 [12:52] davorlozic01: me? [12:52] There you have list of opened application. [12:52] Yes. [12:52] davorlozic01: where is the system monitor? [12:52] box: check your graphic card: lspci | grep VGA and then check if the correct drivers are installed [12:53] some applications don't have scrollbars like thunderbirds preferences so i'm wondering how anyone else in similar situations gets by? [12:53] davorlozic01: i only have a couple of application icons on the left (firefox, openoffice...) and thats it. [12:53] in older ubuntus, i used to hit ALT+F1 to get to the main menu. Is that not possible anymore in Ubuntu 11? [12:53] Go to the first icon (like start). [12:53] Then, write System Monitor. [12:54] Then in System Monitor, go to processes. [12:54] THere is the list of running processes. [12:54] davorlozic01: the one with the ubuntu sign? it reads "dash home" when i hover it. nothing happens when i click it. [12:54] never mind; this is a sufficient solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1839692 [12:55] Hmm... [12:56] Well... You have to find it somehow... Use search somewhere... The app is System Monitor. How will you find it? I don't know. :) [12:56] i have been using ubuntu 11 for a few days now and for me its a complete mess. is there a way to get back to the old behaviour? [12:56] You mean the old look? [12:57] no_gravity: only with a reinstall, downgrade is not possible [12:57] sudo apt-get install gnome-panel [12:57] Then you will get on startup to choose. [12:57] no_gravity, you might want to try xubuntu instead apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [12:57] !who | davorlozic01 [12:57] davorlozic01: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:57] no_gravity, there are some workaround but is not the same... just reinstall 11.04 or 10.04 till they are supported [12:57] pfifo: let me google that... [12:58] ubottu: I'm sorry. :D [12:58] davorlozic01: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:58] no_gravity, it looks and feels like ubuntu 10.04 [12:58] XD [12:59] hi bazhang [12:59] why go to xubuntu 10.04 stay updated for 1 year + [13:00] kandros: why reinstall 11.04? [13:00] !lts | kandros [13:00] kandros: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [13:00] cant wait for 12.04 [13:01] or maybe i will give debian a try. havent used it for years. [13:02] i know i just wrote very bad what i had in mind, i was meaning if no_gravity likes 10.04 is smarter to stay there till 2013 instead of use xubuntu 11.10 [13:02] How do I fix this BADSIG problem - http://paste.ubuntu.com/771089/ [13:03] Hi guys. Is there a way to record the screen of an ipad in ubuntu? [13:03] what tool can i use to convert m4a to mp3?

[13:05] did anyone knows about that problem: we've bought a new lenovo laptop. the touchpad has no "special" buttons for right and left click. so it's not possible to "click and drag" something [13:06] signal0, tap and taphold [13:07] signal0, you might be out of luck with a rightmouse drag tho [13:08] pfifo: hm... so thats an known issue? [13:08] signal0, no it isnt, i haven't ever heard of a touchpad without buttons before [13:09] signal0: a lenovo without mouse buttons? [13:10] signal0: which lenovo is it? [13:10] it has mouse buttons... the whole touchpad is a button ;) [13:10] but when i "click" it and drag, it's not working [13:11] lenovo e420s [13:11] signal0: just a thought, how many fingers is the touchpad designed to recognise at one time? [13:11] BarkingFish: two finger scrolling works [13:11] no_gravity: thanks [13:11] signal0: the photos of the e420s i see all have mouse buttons. [13:12] Some can have up to 3 recognised [13:12] I have shortcuts to Pictures, Videos, Ubuntu One, Documents etc... on my desktop. When I delete the shortcuts, it deletes the files for real! How can I get rid of these? [13:12] no_gravity: yeah, but they're for the trackpoint [13:12] :) [13:12] Hi! Ah, speaking about lenovo. I'm on a lenovo x200, and since a few weeks, I'm experiencing random loss of my network interfaces. What happens is: on a sudden (more especially after a resume from suspend, but not always), the wireless indicator just switch off. Then ifconfig says: nada, not even the ethernet interface is showing up. /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't help either. Besides, I still cannot find any related bug on [13:12] launchpad. Any suggestions? [13:12] the touchpad self is a mousbutton too [13:13] signal0: now i understand. [13:13] * no_gravity is on lenovo x301 and loves it! [13:13] how to install routes to openbve? [13:14] hmm. [13:15] benoliver999, use `unlink` [13:15] no_gravity: please don't make me jealous. ;) But still the x301 is too big for my taste. [13:16] pfifo: How? [13:16] Strav: the x200 is smaller? [13:17] 12" of screen diagonal. Not thinner though. [13:17] benoliver999, unlink /home/ben/Pictures [13:17] there was some new samsung 13" notebook that is really thin. but i forgot the name. [13:18] New laptops this year are UltraBooks [13:18] Is there a way to shorten all long filenames in a folder and its subfolders so I can copy the files to a windows system? [13:18] no_gravity: it's just sad that lenovo is going to follow the chicklets keyboard trend. [13:19] pfifo: Thanks man [13:19] hi will the stable kernel 3.1 find its way to 11.10? [13:19] Strav: whats chicklets? [13:20] Kurdistan, no [13:20] Kurdistan, it's not a rolling release [13:21] Hey I have a question, is it possible to go into a Terminal-Stage with Ubuntu without the GUI [13:21] BillyJoe, I remember seeing a bulk rename tool in synaptic in 8.04 [13:21] like in Backtrack? [13:21] rumpel, I know it is not rolling release but it is still in mainline kernel [13:21] no_gravity: check out the keyboard on the x120e [13:21] Applesouce: cntrl+alt+f1-f6 will put you in a terminal without invoking the gui [13:22] So anyone experiencing loss of network interface, recently, on ubuntu 11.10? [13:22] Strav: wired? [13:22] Applesouce: just remember to use CTRL ALT F7 or F8 to get back to a GUI :) [13:22] Is is possible to reinstall ubuntu without deleting a given directory?

[13:52] ubuntu-partial-u: if it is set to "lts only" you dont have to be afraif [13:52] ubuntu-partial-u: because there is no newer lts (stable) at the moment [13:54] iceroot, should i get network-manager again ?

I am trying to read what there is in it [14:13] GaRRu, well check out that link i gave you, you can decompile following their method [14:13] iceroot, anyway to compile it to asm? [14:13] GaRRu: Oh. Not sure where to go with that.... [14:13] GaRRu: as i said, reverse-engineering [14:13] pfifo, I will, Thanks for now. iceroot, how? [14:13] GaRRu: Disassembling with a Disassembler [14:14] GaRRu, what do you want to get out of the file? [14:14] GaRRu, you can have a look at http://boomerang.sourceforge.net and see if it suits you [14:14] is this not offtopic [14:14] i think he wants teddy bears :D [14:15] GaRRu, you might be able to use a program similiar to PEExplorer to extract a resource in it [14:15] pfifo, What is that? a software? [14:16] GaRRu, ask google, its kinda hard to explan, and this is off topic [14:16] i forgot the topic of this chat long 5 mins ago [14:17] that's what happens when ya cant sleep XD [14:17] pfifo, I'm trying to get out from it a reasonable way to bypass an administrator password on Windows XP/7 OS, or bypass the useage of clicking on "Run as Administrator" at all.. just running another Exe File [14:17] GaRRu: ask in windows lol [14:17] and to bypass uac for exes, use task scheduler [14:18] but this isnt exactly ubuntu related :) [14:18] Gentoo64 explaine please? === sentinel is now known as Guest16312 [14:18] google windows 7 bypass uac task scheduler [14:19] thats all [14:19] brb i think people are hiding the cookies i saw a few days ago XD [14:20] Gentoo64, I will check it out now. just need a backgroud how it is done (That's why I wanted a Exe compiler) [14:20] GaRRu: you dont want a compiler [14:20] GaRRu: you want a decompiler [14:21] GaRRu: but trust me, you dont want that!!! [14:21] GaRRu: seriously ill get kicked, but basically task scheduler allows to run any program as superuser, without the uac prompt popping up, by making a shortcut [14:21] GaRRu: just buy your windows, dont put offtopic in this channel and so on [14:21] Gentoo64, that sounds secure [14:21] iceroot, I know what your talking about xD I tried reading files of ASM codes, some took me ages. and yeah a decompiler :P [14:22] well, you do need admin access to access task scheduler...

[14:24] thank you. My settings in sound preferences are correct [14:24] Nothing has changed...just recently stopped working. I will check these links though. [14:26] mxracer450: What does alsamixer say? [14:27] usr13: im not sure what your referring to [14:27] so any one have a ts server that has used the debain "sid" version and saw if they had actcess to ubuntu one working in that program? i need to use it to hold stuff but i wont bother with that code version if i cant take all my files with me that i need to have XD [14:29] mxracer450: Open a terminal and type alsamixer hit enter. First look in upper left corner to see that your sound card is identified properly. [14:29] gotchya....one sec [14:29] Hi again. A made a mistake and i cant edit the /etc/fstab, read/only and cant use chmod on it... How can i repair the files, with live cd? [14:29] yes, sound card is identified usr13 === hammerbrain is now known as hammerbrain_ [14:29] mxracer450, alsa recently updated , and if you check alsmixer the automute may need disabling [14:30] mxracer450: Next look at the various channel collums, see that they are not muted, (there will be MM at bottom of the collum if it is muted). [14:30] the only column that is muted is the "beep"column [14:30] i feel good... i think i've prob hit the best results on speedtest.net than anyone i know [14:30] :-) [14:31] with a 5ms response time too [14:31] nice [14:31] │although, speaker is set to zero for some reason. even though all of my volume tabs in the gui are set high [14:31] what type of internet connection give you 5ms ?

[14:31] how far is the server from you ? [14:32] how many miles ? [14:32] just a dedicated fiber hand off [14:32] like 100 miles [14:32] mxracer450: move right to left with right and left arrows. Raise volume level with up arrow. [14:32] 50 miles [14:32] so 1 ms for each mile [14:32] amazing [14:32] mxracer450: move right to left with right and left arrows, so select various channels. Raise volume level with up arrow. [14:32] 1ms for 10 miles [14:32] but i'm at a data center where all the ISPs sell backbone out of [14:32] oh wow that's nice deticated fiber is the good stuff XD [14:32] how much the line cost? [14:33] I cannot start Google Chrome with Ubuntu Oneirc. Is that a bug? I can use Chromium [14:33] technically it's unlimited bandwidth but allocates based on need [14:33] trkemist: Sounds like one [14:33] trkemist: Use Chromium, it's EXACTLY the same except crash reporting [14:33] theadmin: what is the error-message when starting ti from the shell? [14:33] cuz i transfered a 5GB file in under 4 minutes to one of our servers off site [14:33] iceroot: Uh? [14:33] theadmin: wrong nick... [14:33] done. checking if anything has changed, one moment [14:33] iceroot: Oh [14:33] trkemist: what is the error-message when starting ti from the shell? [14:34] theadmin: i am to lazy at the tab-completion...:) [14:34] sam22: i am not exactly sure i think it's like 20k per month or something [14:34] jclbrt, you should install a dedicated fiber to my house so you can do offsite backups, ill keep your data safe [14:34] How can i repair my system without reinstall or data lost? can i set it back in time like windows? i cant check the files with fsck, may i dont know how [14:34] it's a company network [14:34] pfifo... thats what i do lol [14:34] <_Nano> Can someone tell me how to switch kernels on a remote server? I'm not really sure how to do it.

[14:35] one wy ? [14:35] iceroot: can i do it from livecd or i should do it from the original systam, and how? [14:35] <_Nano> thanks. I'd figured I would still use grub. [14:35] imbezol, its not fiber that has the latency but rather the switching and routing [14:36] hi, im kind of new to this system... im having some problems connecting to mi hotmail account, i can access the log in page but as soon as i try to log in i get the error 101... i have google chrome and firefox... neither of them works... i have just installed ubuntu 11.10 and haven changed any setting... dont know if someone could help me... [14:36] sam22: it's 5 microseconds per kilometer. [14:36] the medium is fine but the equipment on the end can bring that up [14:36] sam22: microsecond != millisecond [14:36] i mean it has a number of hops before getting to me [14:36] _Nano, you should get your ISP todo it [14:36] Anahi: Try refresh [14:36] already tried [14:37] comcast sells up to 105mbps in my town [14:37] _Nano: Basically, make new kernel grub's default and reboot the machine [14:37] my /var partition is full, how can i give it some space from other partition?

[14:37] does anyone has experience in making a live usb flash disk with Ubuntu and Grub2? Actually I am stucked at the stage 2 of GRUB and only get the "grub rescue>" shell. [14:38] _Nano, hopefully you have remote KVM incase it dosent boot correctly [14:38] dose any one know if i can use the ubuntu one with the debain code name "sid" ver i relay need it lol [14:38] <_Nano> pfifo, I can netboot if I screw it up [14:38] gor00_, i have before [14:38] Milan1992-ubuntu: depending on your backup [14:38] Sid0035: Is "sid" the "unstable" branch? [14:38] yes [14:38] Sid0035: That might work, iirc Ubuntu is based on Debian Unstable [14:38] theadmin, cant i link a folder pointing to another partition with more space? im not next to the computer, so i cant do that approach [14:38] ok then i can take my work with me :D [14:39] Sid0035: Grab the deb from one.ubuntu.com [14:39] hi jclbrt [14:39] ISid0035: suggest you dropbox tho :P [14:39] heyllo [14:39] iceroot: the main question is there anz automatic backup file or no automatic save? [14:39] Sid0035, i think ubuntu one is just a front end for rsync [14:39] avernos: Sure you can, ln -s /other/partition\'s/mountpoint /var [14:39] avernos: Make sure to copy stuff over first tho... [14:40] ok thanks for awncering my question [14:40] pfifo: It provides you free space on Canonical's servers, even if it is a rsync frontend [14:40] im gonna back up my files i need to work on that version then [14:40] Milan1992-ubuntu: no automated backup [14:40] theadmin, copy everything in it? cant i just keep using that /var and link another folder in another partition? thanks tho [14:40] !backup | Milan1992-ubuntu [14:41] Milan1992-ubuntu: There are many ways to back your system up.

It also does weird stuff to Nautilus though. [14:42] imbezol microseconds not miliseconds [14:42] light can go around the earth 7 times in a second but in vacum space [14:43] inside a fiber optic is a little bit different but still fast [14:43] sam22: indeed. but you said ms, which is milliseconds [14:43] thanks for awncering me :D have to go afk for awhile brb [14:43] no he said 5ms to a 50 miles server. so that's 1ms per 10 miles [14:43] which is extremely good [14:44] ms is milliseconds, not microseconds [14:44] if it too 5ms it's extremely slow [14:44] *took === artuno is now known as Yoshiko [14:44] anyways.. it's offtopic === Yoshiko is now known as artuno [14:45] ok [14:45] 1000 microsecond is 1 milisecond [14:45] imbezol, 5ms ping is FAST! [14:45] 1000 ms is 1 second [14:45] pfifo yeah it is very fast === artuno is now known as atruno- [14:45] and it's call round trip [14:45] so that's 2.5ms going and 2.5ms coming back [14:45] it should be under 1ms for 10 miles away [14:45] so that's super fast === atruno- is now known as Yoshiko === Yoshiko is now known as Yoshiko- [14:46] it should be under 5 ms even hundreds of miles away [14:46] otherwise our internet wouldn't work [14:46] if you tried to visit a site across the country you'd have to wait a minute for a response [14:46] nm the other side of the world [14:46] i think he said datacenter [14:47] you can run NAS on a 5ms line from city to city and you won't notice any lag [14:49] anyone can please help me set up wpa_supplicant to login to my WEP network automatically on boot please? all configs pasted here: http://pastebin.com/FLsTVWe5 [14:49] sam22, I would still blam lag every time i die [14:49] wpa_supplicant is not for WEP === N3x4 is now known as Ext4 [14:51] imbezol thats not true at all... [14:52] hi..how to configure PPOE ..? [14:52] the number of hops is responsible for latency, it's usually the job of ISPs and gateways to find you the shortest route [14:52] anyone know how to get usb wireless working 10.04 lts? [14:52] Yanch0, what's your reason for not using network manager and wifi startup before the login page ? [14:52] GodManMonkey: What does the network manager say? [14:53] how can I achieve that BluesKaj - i basically want wifi to be connected before the login screen - whatever works for me im happy to do it (ps network-manager I removed it) [14:53] GodManMonkey: Does the network manager show any wireless networks available? [14:53] wusr13..will not even let me instal driver...manager says nothing....does not see access points or anything.. [14:54] GodManMonkey: What driver are you trying to install? [14:54] i tried using ndiswrapper and ndisgtk.... [14:54] does your machine have a wifi switch that needs to be turned on? [14:54] imbezol do a ping to 208.231.73.245 and tell me what u get? [14:54] GodManMonkey: lspci |grep ireless #Show us what that says. [14:55] i used a tut that said to use those proggies to install drivers, however....the cds containing the drivers were inside exe. files so could not open... [14:55] hi guys, how can i start sftp server on ubuntu? [14:55] no wifi switch..it is a desktop.. [14:55] asif: Run "pppoe-setup", it should help out [14:55] Is there a way to get a list of the packages installed on one computer (preferably only the ones installed through the repositories) so that I can just pipe that list into `apt-get install` on a new system to get the same packages? [14:55] i want to have sftp no ubuntu [14:55] usb wireless plugged in.. [14:55] Yanch0, understood but why ? Is it absolutely necessary ? It's an unusual request . [14:56] jclbrt: i get an icmp type 0 packet [14:56] !clone | AaronCampbell [14:56] AaronCampbell: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [14:56] jclbrt: i know how it works.

[14:56] BluesKaj, i need this to act as a server - so no need to log in but need its services receable from the internet [14:57] does any know know how to setup sftp on ubuntu? [14:57] GodManMonkey: Can you temporarily plug into wired network? [14:57] GodManMonkey: ethernet? [14:57] it is a cheap 150N wireless LAN USB adapter... [14:57] erm [14:57] make n model... [14:57] cheap? lol.. [14:58] see if i can find the box... [14:58] GodManMonkey, lsusb [14:58] lsusb? [14:58] GodManMonkey: As aguitel says, lsusb will identify it. [14:58] no i have no wired network..thats what i usually would do... [14:58] GodManMonkey: .... tell us what chipset it is. [14:59] GodManMonkey, in terminal type: lsusb [14:59] ok [14:59] is it possible to delete a file with livecd if it is protected and read only? [14:59] trying to figure out chipset [14:59] is there possible to change the sftp port number on ubuntu instead of port 22 ? [15:00] GodManMonkey: lsusb will show all of the usb ports, you will need to find the one that shows your wireless NIC. [15:00] Milan1992-ubuntu: Yeah, sure [15:00] help me guys [15:00] phong_: change your sshd's port [15:00] SunTsu, how? [15:00] Yanch0, servers are much more reliable, as hardwired to the internet, devices , especially if you have considerable traffic. [15:00] phong_: man sshd [15:00] well, and how? simple forced rm? [15:00] and man sshd_config [15:00] GodManMonkey: It would be helpful if you could temporarily connect to wired network. (Or get a wireless device that is fully supported.) [15:00] SunTsu, comeon man, [15:01] BluesKaj, not much traffic no - just presence for ssh if need be [15:01] does chipset mean this? AMD athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 4200+ 2.20 Ghz.. [15:01] yes usr13..however i unfortunately cannot.. [15:01] phong_: I don't feel the urge to copy stuff out of the man page so you don't need to open it, no thanks [15:02] GodManMonkey: no, that's the CPU [15:02] erm srry.. [15:02] GodManMonkey: No, we are wanting you to identify the wireless network adapter and tell us what it is.

I am using apt-pinning because I want my own repository be priority. It works fine when I put my repo and Ubuntu oficial repo (lucid) in source.list. But it doesn't work when I put my repo and ubuntu-security repo! ubuntu-security has priority ever. How can I change this? [15:04] #joy [15:05] how do i get 'indicator-weather' in my toolbar ? i'm on 11.10 - i have done 'apt-get install indicator-weather' and it is on my system, but i don't know how to add things to the top bar. i know i'm dumb.

Is there a way of doing this in one go? the folders are local in my /www folder [15:07] <_Nano> I just need to switch to the kernel that came with xen-hypervisor-4.1 package, and it seemed to add all the correct grub configs but uname -a says it's still booting with the old kernel [15:07] StudentRik: You want to give all directories under /www the same mode? [15:08] I have used rescue remix to recover some data from an NTFS partition on a machine that would no longer boot. I'm going to do an OS reload, but I want to determine if my problem was just logical corruption, or if I need to replace the drive. How do I diagnose the health of the drive itself using rescue remix? [15:08] StudentRik, the recursive switch -r [15:08] would that be the correct way to install the extensions? and would i have to change back the permissions?

I am using 10.04 lte netbook edition....I followed the links generated to troubleshoot, as well as the alsamixer command. everything has checked out. Nothing is muted, it recognizes my sound card. I did the command on the support page to restore the generic sound stack. Rebooted. I still have no sound. Can anyone help? [15:09] StudentRik, there is a joomla channel #joomla :) [15:09] could i use -rv and decide which ones to do ?or would that be painful?? [15:10] why doesn't ubuntu update it's repositories anyway? [15:10] i can't even apply the latest update for 5.0 via apt-get let alone 5.1 [15:10] how can I add widgets to my top panel in 11.10? [15:10] sparr: You can't [15:11] ¬lts [15:11] StudentRik: I'd say, give yourself write access to the top dir (non-recursive), and install as your user. That is, assuming the joomla install is just to untar a file in the htdocs dir. [15:11] !lts [15:11] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [15:11] sparr: I suggest you swithch to XFCE if you miss that functionality, because GNOME no longer provides widgets. XFCE, though, is compatible with GNOME applets [15:11] theadmin: is there any other place/way to get back all the widgets i kept there in older versions? [15:11] !latest | cbf [15:11] theadmin: I'm switching to KDE soon [15:11] cbf: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. === aperture is now known as appy [15:11] sparr: KDE's fine too, but is not compatible with GNOME, and also it's a lot of the RAM/CPU load [15:12] _Nano: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [15:12] I'm really unhappy with the changes to Gnome in 11.10 [15:12] me too [15:12] I used to be a big KDE fan, but all the problems with 4.0 when all the major distros switched drove me to Gnome [15:12] _Nano: Oh you installed a new kernel? [15:12] now Gnome has the same problem [15:12] throwing away years of great features [15:12] so, back to KDE, now that 4.x is stable [15:12] sparr: 11.10 no longer has GNOME by default, we use Unity now, but yeah, GNOME 3 is even worse [15:13] <_Nano> usr13 I mean it's part of the package xen-hyervisor-4.1amd64 [15:13] _Nano: Do you see it listed in /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?

[15:13] <_Nano> yeah, multiple reboots [15:14] <_Nano> xm info says hypervisor information is not in sysfs, so it can't be the right kernel [15:14] _Nano: Is this just a kernel patch? May be already in the existing kernel?

You should see a package named " [15:40] Adobe Flash Plugin" [15:40] i have downloaded ATI propritary drivers from AMD's official website but it is a .run file . i need help installing it [15:40] omid__ maybe you need to active a 3rd party repo [15:40] usr13, i understand what you mean but i dont see such thing [15:40] omid__: Use the package manager for your Video driver as well. [15:40] [p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p- [15:41] Yanch0, wep can't be used with wpa_supplicant , wpa is a different encryption system than wep , you'll have to setup your wifi router use wpa first [15:41] MonkeyDust, i thought its preconfigured. cause i had it in my default repos when on 32bit [15:41] omid__: Try Synaptic [15:41] to use wpa [15:41] omid: go to software sources, check multiuniverse , in other software tab, check independent, close, and try again [15:41] omid__: I know it is there.... [15:42] usr13, when i try to install ATI drivers using ubuntu's Additional drivers tool it fails . now i want to install it using AMD's official driver which i have downloaded and previously worked on opensuse. [15:42] BluesKaj, are u sure? the sample config on wpa_supplicant project shows it does support wep : http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=blob_plain;f=wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf [15:42] omid__: Try: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [15:42] from terminal [15:43] can i have both synaptics and ubuntu software center? wont they cause any issue with eachother? [15:43] omid__: Go on and do it then, suit yourself. (But my advise to you is to let the package manager do it for you.) [15:44] omid__: synaptic and software centre are booth there for you to use [15:44] usr13, http://paste.kde.org/159482/ [15:44] omid i suggest you try Linux Mint, the same thing but for absolute beginners and people who doesn't hate propriety softwares, all media plugins and driver are preinstalled [15:44] Yanch0, well. I've never heard of them working togaether before , I suppose it's possible but I;m sure it's pretty clunky [15:45] Guest59895, i have downloaded and updated my ubuntu and installed lots of apps all with a connection speed of 10kb/s . its such a pain to remove everything and install a whole new distro [15:45] Guest59895: He has already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:46] omid__ did you activate the 3rd party source(s)? [15:46] any other idea how i can connect to it then BluesKaj - the only connection thiscard accepts is wep [15:47] Guest59895: And it's not helpful to instruct someone to use another distro. If they have come to #ubuntu, they are asking for help with Ubuntu, (not wanting to install another distro). [15:47] Yanch0: did u try connecting without any security first? [15:47] MonkeyDust, in software sources i have 2 options enabled. the first one is "Independent : provided by third-party developers" and the second one is its source code [15:47] prof this used to work when connecting from network manager [15:48] yes usr13, but I always concern people have bad impression with their first experience with Linux, it was the reason I suggest Mint, it has GUI for all settings as well [15:48] i have some experience with OpenSUSE and its lovely yast but because of some wireless problems in its latest releasE(12.1) i moved to ubuntu. right now ubuntu is the only OS i have installed [15:48] omid__ sudo apt-get update to load the sources [15:48] how come i dont see this process under jobs command after this bash script kicks it off?

I get my pannels loaded, and background set, but it just sits there with the "hour-glass" thing spinning. I didn't change anything from when it was working yesterday. Are there some logs to check? Or can I make gnome rebuild a config file or something? [15:49] omid__ nice, but did you do sudo apt-get upate [15:49] usr13, i dont have it [15:50] MonkeyDust, i did a full system update after that [15:50] Also, gnome-terminal doesn't run from within Fluxbox (which is what I [15:50] 'm running now) [15:50] omid__: Enable multiverse and restricted [15:51] on restarting my computer i get the output "error: file not found. grub rescue > " and gparted tells me no file systems are allocated but when i boot in a ubuntu live cd i can see my partitions, ( /, /home, win xp, win 7, and dump (media)) - how can i repair grub please?

(i had problems with installing my drivers using ubuntu's additional drivers tool) [15:52] omid__: I thought those would have been enabled when you installed restricted-extras and not sure why not....

[15:52] omid__: Now that you have restricted enabled, you can do it through the package manager. [15:52] usr13, maybe because i changed the download server manually [15:53] usr13, when i tried installing additional drivers on 32 bit it faild and showed errors . then i moved to 64 bit and now i want to install the drivers [15:53] i have downloaded the official drivers from AMD's website. [15:53] arent they safe? isnt AMD website safe? [15:53] omid__: System -> Aditional Drivers [15:54] \o everybody [15:54] omid__: Go on and do it then, suit yourself. (But my advise to you is to let the package manager do it for you.) [15:55] omid__: You are always better off to use the package manager and there are several reasons why. [15:55] there is 2 options. one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver(post-release updates) and the other one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver. [15:55] which one should i install? === Dmitry is now known as Dmitry|a [15:55] lol [15:55] i hope i dont get that error this time [15:56] omid__: hope you dont either. [15:56] omid__: You dont need to install the proprietary driver at all since the default is the open radeon driver [15:56] which one should i install? [15:56] omid__: I dono [15:56] soreau, i'm sorry to say that but opensource drivers for ATI cards SUCK BIG TIME. too much system heat and power usage for me [15:56] Just pick one [15:57] omid__: you should not need to install either if you have recent enough hardware === psharmor is now known as tekoholic [15:57] ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 [15:57] omid__: You can choose deferent power profiles for the driver [15:57] omid__: the radeon driver works great on my 5770 and 4890 [15:57] Hi. I was messing with startup applications and broke something. I can only boot with terminal. How do I navigate to the file where startup data is contained. Thanks in advance :) [15:57] can you guys please help me which one of the drivers should i install [15:58] omid__: better than the fglrx driver [15:58] there is 2 options. one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver(post-release updates) and the other one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver. [15:58] omid__ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [15:58] meganerd, for me they sucked [15:58] thankyou guys . i'll try [15:58] I could not get three monitors working with the fglrx driver, with the radeon one it worked out of the box [15:59] omid__: what did not work? === rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234 [16:00] Peachez: Not sure what you've done so would be hard to say. [16:00] meganerd, too much system heat , fan noise and power usage when using opensource drivers. also some games like Glest and Quack arena were slower compared to when using FGLRX drivers [16:00] omid__: So install "ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver" See how it works. === rhinq is now known as rhino [16:01] thnx i'm installing it . i hope it dosnt fail [16:01] omid__: how did you test the heat and noise? I noticed no difference on either of my cards (the 4890 is a jet engine at the best of times) [16:01] thankyou guys for your help [16:01] In that case, have you any idea where the file will be that contains the startup application data so i can have a look to remove it? [16:01] omid__: As I said before, I hope it doesn't either. [16:01] meganerd, its something that i could feel.maybe it was just my experience and they worked well on your machine.

I just want to be able to stick custom commands to the icons in the launcher. [16:31] With Gnome 3 sucking everywhere else (except maybe with Mint 12's MGSE), Unity may end up being the only way forward, anyways. And KDE, ofc. [16:31] soreau: im looking for an interface like you would see on a hardware router. im a newb with linux and not very good at the command line [16:31] I'm giving it a spin. So is there no easy way for me to add my own launcher commands? [16:31] Scrivnr: as long as you know that there are alternatives :) (i'm a happy xfce user) [16:32] Scrivnr: can you give an example of the command your would like to add [16:32] Yup! I'm well aware =) I encouraged friends to use classic mode when 11.04 came out. I was *far from impressed* with Unity at that time.

Currently I navigate to a folder to start it, as I can't start it from the launcher (even if it's running and I select "keep in launcher" it will not launch by clicking the icon). [16:34] Peachez: Edit the file that you placed the command in and delete the line you added. [16:34] Scrivnr: I suspect that may be a bug within unity [16:34] Btw: If any of ya get frustrated with trying to get IPsec ssh connections to work easily in Ubuntu, forticlient is very good and simple. [16:35] ikonia: But whether it's a bug or not, if I can simply add my own command to an icon in the launcher it would be good. [16:35] well this is the issue, i added it to the startup applications via the gui, now i cant even get to the login screen, so i need to know where the startup information is located so i can edit via terminal [16:35] Scrivnr: forticlient? [16:35] Scrivnr: right click on the launcher, find the target see if it is a file that is editible [16:35] I don't know if it launches anything that wasn't fully installed from source/with a package manager.
