I've added a ppa for latest stable. But whenever I do 'apt-get install firefox', I get this: [00:26] http://pastebin.com/sR0aWNy0 [00:26] Ot [00:27] It's a long log with a lot of complaints from dpkg about missing files. [00:27] LOL [00:27] bobdobbs, Try using "apt-get upgrade" [00:28] That was pretty much the first thing I tried. [00:28] I just downloaded the .deb from the firefox homepage and ran it. [00:29] I get the same result when I do 'apt-get upgrade'. The same errors [00:29] I've done 'apt-get update =-fix-missing', and I get the same result. [00:30] I'm guessing that the package manager might be broken. [00:31] all of a sudden i can't gain access to my flash drive. i can't copy files to or from....fix?

[00:32] bobdobbs, Okay try the following... "apt-get dist-upgrade" (That should fix the package manager and upgrade firefox) [00:34] cypher-neo: I've tried that too. [00:34] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/772827/ [00:35] Every time I run that, firefox gets downloaded but not installed. And I get the same errors [00:36] scott__, so the problem is these were not mounted by udisks with the user option so all the files are root owned. did you do anything special to mount them? did you put them in your fstab or mount them on the command line? /dev/sdb1 on /media/Fujitsu120 type vfat (rw) [00:36] /dev/sdc1 on /media/usb0 type vfat (rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime,nodiratime) [00:37] I'm searching for a deb package for an x86 version of firefox 8, but I can't find one. === ethernet- is now known as AG0X [00:37] escott: given i have no idea what you just asked me, i'm gonna gamble on NO. i'm ubuntu illiterate. i used to be able to just stick in my flash drive and drag and drop files at will. now....not so much [00:37] Can someone explain how the setup works on this machine? fdisk -l output --> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/521935/ [00:37] hallo [00:37] escott: mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /meida/usb [00:38] I think if I could get that, it would save me from having to fix the broken package manager [00:38] !fx6 | bobdobbs the ppa already has fx8 [00:38] bobdobbs the ppa already has fx8: Firefox 6 has been released as a security update for 11.04. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [00:38] The machine works perfectly [00:38] yeah, I've added the ppa. [00:38] But I apt still won't install the latest firefox [00:38] bobdobbs, you want to get the updater in order bro. [00:39] bobdobbs: sudo apt-get update [00:39] bobdobbs, Do you use Synaptic? [00:39] bobdobbs: then it should install firefox [00:39] gogeta: done that. It runs, dowloads firefox, but doesn't install it. [00:39] escott: you still with me? [00:39] bobdobbs: oh strange [00:39] gogeta: He has a deeper issue. His pastebin: http://pastebin.com/sR0aWNy0 [00:40] urlin2u: I'm reluctant to try fixing the updater. When apt breaks it's pretty much unfixable. [00:40] bobdobbs, Okay, let's do it graphically. [00:41] bobdobbs, not true easily fixed. Have you done a upgrade of your OS and just turned PPA's and 3rd party repos back on without checking if the ppa supports your release? [00:41] bobdobbs, "sudo apt-get install synaptic" (Unless you already have the Synaptic Package Manager installed) [00:41] define broken bobdobbs [00:41] genii-around: ah he broke a update didnt he [00:41] Bobdobbs. Apt was very smart for fixing trouble [00:41] cypher-neo: I guess we could give that a shot. Usually I use the cli, but why not give synaptic a shot. [00:41] genii-around: i forgot the comand to fix that lol [00:41] bobdobbs, I'm more familiar with Synaptic, so it will make it easier for me. :) [00:42] urlin2u: I might have done that. I don't specifically remember not doing that. [00:42] scott__, so start by ejecting the devices if you can and then checking `mount` to see if they are listed. if you cannot eject them do sudo umount /media/usb0 or sudo umount /media/Fujistu120 [00:42] cypher-neo: cool. Might as well give it a go :) [00:42] I already have synaptic installed. [00:43] bobdobbs, Excellent. In that case, load the Synaptic Package Manager... [00:43] it won't be easier for anyone if you don't show us what error message you get or what have you done [00:43] bobdobbs: sudo apt-get --fix-missing [00:43] bobdobbs, post your apt/sources.list in a image bin if you can't figure it out, and look at the sourcesist.d in etc/apt and check if the ppa's support whats thers. [00:43] gogeta: done that. same errors. [00:43] bobdobbs, sorry pastebin. [00:43] How do I restart Bash without creating a new bash session along side the existing one? [00:43] bobdobbs, After you've installed and loaded Synaptic, click Refresh to refresh and reload all the repositories and PPA's, then in the bottom left-hand section click "Origin" (this will sort all the packages by the PPA) [00:44] escott: scott@scott-AOD255E:~$ sudo umount /media/usb0 or sudo umount /media/Fujistu120 [00:44] [sudo] password for scott: [00:44] umount: or: not found [00:44] umount: sudo: not found [00:44] umount: umount: not found [00:44] umount: /media/Fujistu120: not found [00:44] cypher-neo: ok [00:44] hi [00:44] i have a big problem [00:44] scott__, that is two commands one for the usb0 folder the other for the Fujistu120 folder [00:44] bobdobbs, Then look for the PPA you just loaded, and click on it [00:44] Lutfi jusk ask your problem [00:44] escott: ah...sorry [00:45] bobdobbs, That will list all the files inside that particular PPA. Just find Firefox and install it from that screen. [00:45] Ubuntu 11:10: I installed gnome-shell and it worked perfektly. Then suddenly gnome-shell does not start any longer. Instead gnome-classic starts. [00:45] any idea?

It should be GNOME-Shell then [00:46] cypher-neo: synaptic runs reload, and then produces these errors: [00:46] http://pastebin.com/CmYufMjs === patrick is now known as Guest10851 [00:46] does anyone know how to make this command output a progress bar so that i know so much is done? sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 | ssh ubuntu@192.168.xxx.xxx “dd of=/media/HD-LABEL/LinuxPart.image” ? [00:47] bobdobbs, Are you using 10.10? [00:47] then remove that repository that has No Packages for maverick bobdobbs [00:47] cypher-neo: I believe so. Checking... [00:47] bobdobbs, what release are you running? [00:47] escott, ah! Yes, I forgot that I installed nvidia drivers (recommended via "Hardware Driver" thing in settings) [00:48] 10.10 [00:48] escott: i put in both commands...usb0= not mounted, fujitsu120=not found. the flash drive is actually plugged in at present. and i can view the files inside. however i've no permission to delete them nor to create folders or copy files within [00:48] bobdobbs: lol update [00:48] gogeta: why? [00:48] genii-around: using an existing username on 2 other machines wasn't a problem but i guess i'll have to try installing with a different username [00:48] bobdobbs, Okay, well that error doesn't mean anything majorly wrong. Just that it couldn't fetch files from a PPA. You can delete the PPA later. [00:49] bobdobbs, cool go through the sourceslist.d and the /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure they are set to maverick and check for the ppa's supporting this release. [00:49] bobdobbs: 10.04 is lts not 10.10 abd we are at 11.10 now [00:49] gogeta, lol :) [00:49] scott__, im assuming that this flash drive is one of /media/fujistu120 or /media/usb0 because those appeared in `mount` if would be helpful if you could figure out which one it is. what location does the filemanager show when you are looking at the files [00:49] cypher-neo: lol [00:49] gogeta: updating isn't really an option with a broken package management system. [00:49] escott, jockey--gtk is exactly what i used to install the nvidia drivers. I used the recommended one (the alternative is the "post-release updates"). Do you recommend to try the other drivers? [00:50] bobdobbs: :( [00:50] bobdobbs, The package system will be fixed when you upgrade [00:50] bobdobbs: doesn't look broken, you just have a broken ppa [00:50] ......... [00:50] ok [00:50] Yeah. There's nothing broken [00:50] cool [00:50] It's just an error [00:50] Not a serious one [00:50] Lufti, no idea i avoid purchasing nvidia [00:50] bobdobbs, ignore everybody but xangua [00:50] escott: lol [00:50] :) [00:51] escott: its actually a Kingston flash drive. the fujitsu120 came from a reputed "fix" i found online. [00:51] So, if the system isn't broken, how can I upgrade to ff 8 using it? [00:51] scott__, and what did this fix have you do? [00:51] lol [00:51] Bobdobbs don't mix sources.list [00:51] escott: moment while i find the page [00:51] test [00:52] i haz arch and ff 9 [00:52] lol [00:52] How do I restart Bash without creating a new bash session along side the existing one?

[00:53] does ATI use VHDL to design their graphics controllers? [00:54] Scunizi: yep [00:54] Scunizi, "source ~/.bash_aliases" [00:54] Scunizi: relly the only way to reboot bash in reboot the box [00:54] escott: afk 3 minitz [00:54] scott__, and thats why things are broken. you need to eject the devices, run the umount commands until the partitions do not appear in `mount` then remove the two folders in /media [00:54] Scunizi, That will load all the new bash infos without restarting or creating a new session [00:54] gogeta: no.. there is another way.. I think cypher-neo has it.. [00:54] Schoentoon, . .bash_aliases [00:54] cypher-neo: thanks ;) [00:55] Scunizi, :) [00:55] i'm a girl [00:55] So, what's my next step for installing firefox? I've we've established that my package managment system isn't broken, the installation should be simple, right? [00:55] DrClaw2: lies [00:56] bobdobbs: update box to 11.10 problem fixed [00:57] bobdobbs: non lts only have a 6 moth life cycle [00:57] bobdobbs, I would suggest the same thing... but we could still try the Synaptic thing I was trying to walk you through earlier. [00:57] bobdobbs: if you already added the ppa and updated, like you said you did, you already have fx8 [00:57] cypher-neo: I think we got as far as getting to the error. What should I do next? [00:57] xangua: his paa did not have 10.10 builds so it broke [00:58] xangua, Is it possible that he can't upgrade to the version on the PPA because it's unstable?

[00:58] gogeta: the fx8 ppa is not broken [00:58] cypher-neo: well any ppa you use, you use it on your own risk [00:59] * cypher-neo nods [00:59] cypher-neo: the updater will remove all ppas anyways [00:59] yeah - I'm not getting errors related to the ff8 ppa. [00:59] I did the update to 11.10, but my screen was all whack when it restarted. Even trying to get back to old gnome desktop failed [00:59] gogeta, Remove, or just disable? [00:59] remove [00:59] mine got disabled [00:59] gogeta, I was under the impression that they would be disabled but you could re-enable them on the other side. [00:59] I'm also reluctant to update to 11.10 because of the cost of bandwidth. I'm in NZ, and they charge us up the wazoo for the stuff.

[01:02] bobdobbs, Click on the grey apostrophe. [01:03] bobdobbs, Does it say "Upgrade" by any chance? [01:03] ok [01:03] I get a menu with options [01:03] ah! [01:03] scott__, have you been able to umount the two folders? [01:03] bobdobbs, Yup... one of those options should allow you to update [01:03] escott: back [01:03] one of the options is 'upgrade' [01:03] bobdobbs, :D [01:03] so I hit upgrade, and I get an error.

[01:04] scott__, do the last two lines of the output of `mount` make sense? [01:05] escott: i'll have a look and paste [01:05] bobdobbs, Not a big deal... It just got a little more complicated. [01:05] <|Long|> hi, iam running few applications (glftpd,website..etc) on this ubuntu box is there any good apps can give me realtime monitor upload and download speeds? [01:05] bobdobbs, Let me look at my Synaptic and remember the right way to do it [01:05] scott__, where it says /dev/sdb# on /media/folder type vfat (blah,blah,blah) means that sdb# is mounted on the folder /media/folder so you want to sudo umount /media/folder and then it should not be listed [01:05] ok [01:05] how can i enable ident for kvirc? [01:06] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/772849/ [01:06] bobdobbs, Okay. I want you to click on the Firefox entry in Synaptic so it's highlighted. [01:06] ok... [01:06] bobdobbs, And then click Package - Force Version... [01:06] scott__, once it disappears from the output of mount you can "sudo rmdir /media/folder" and then things should work [01:07] How do I rename a directory of *.jpg to *.JPG without distroying the first part of the pic name? mv *.jpg *.JPG doesn't work.. it's expecting to mv them to a directory. [01:07] bobdobbs, It's in the upper menu. This will bring up a Force Version window where you can select the version you want installed. [01:07] scott__, so sdb1 is still mounted on that /media/Fujitsu120 folder [01:07] ok [01:07] escott: perhaps you could walk me thru this procedure? i'm completely ubuntu illiterate [01:07] bobdobbs, Since it conflicts with a kubuntu package, we're going to force the install (there will be no damage in forcing this) [01:07] 'error occured'. pasting... [01:08] bobdobbs, lol, okay... I await your paste [01:08] Scunizi, for f in *.jpg; do mv $f `basename $f jpg`.JPG; done [01:08] hey someone uploaded something ti me [01:08] http://pastebin.com/BGf5EdCT [01:08] scott__, sudo umount /media/Fujitsu120 [01:08] escott: thanks.. there is no basename .. each pic has a different name.. would that change the command? [01:09] bobdobbs, Crap... [01:09] what is this telling us ? [01:09] scott__, and then check `mount` you shouldn't see anything listed in "/media" the problem is you have folders in /media that you shouldnt have so remove those with sudo rmdir /media/Fujistsu120 [01:09] bobdobbs, Umm, I know how to make it work, but you'll want to backup all your bookmarks and stuff in FF first. [01:09] Scunizi, basename is a command [01:09] cypher-neo: ok [01:09] hi folks. a i got an onjoin something entering [01:09] doing that now... [01:09] escott: AH.. ok. thanks! [01:09] bobdobbs, What you're going to have to do is remove kubuntu-firefox-installer and then install from the PPA [01:09] worked [01:10] bobdobbs, I fear this might remove all your extensions and FF modifications as well though. [01:10] b. i just need to turn on ident for irc [01:10] bobdobbs, I was trying to make it upgrade without you losing anything [01:10] hmmm. I guess I might just leave it then. [01:10] escott: the command worked .. but now I have double "." between the name and jpg.. like [01:11] After my failed attempt at installing the ati binaries for Oneiric, I get a terminal output saying Starting atieventsd. and it stops here forever during boot [01:11] scott__, check that there aren't any folders in /media by running "ls /media" [01:11] Can someone tell me how I could recover my old ATI drivers and get back my gui [01:11] I'm kinda reluctant to risk loosing all my settings, bookmarks, remembered passwords and stuff. [01:11] bobdobbs, Sorry. I would still suggest you upgrade to 11.10 though. The latest FF version will be included once you upgrade. [01:11] ok. [01:11] Thanks for helping me out anyway [01:12] travis-18, try #freenode or #ubuntu-ops [01:12] bobdobbs, Sorry it didn;t work. [01:12] Scunizi, yeah should have been consistent in the `basename $f .jpg`.JPG part either both need "."s or neither should. you can run another bash loop on *.JPG and `basename $f .JPG`JPG to loose a dot [01:12] escott: or run the original with a "." in front of jpg right? === matt_ is now known as mattvm [01:13] Scunizi, too late files are already renamed [01:13] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/772852/ [01:13] cypher-neo: thats ok. Sometimes win has to wait. [01:13] Scunizi, point is we added a dot by doing `basename $f jpg`.JPG so now remove one with `basename $f .JPG`JPG [01:14] escott: ok I'll give it a go [01:14] scott__, you typoed the folder name, but all that stuff listed in /media needs to go so sudo rmdir each one until its all gone [01:14] ok [01:14] I'm trying to connect my Ubuntu 11.10 system to a Vizio 42" LED HDTV, but whenever I connect it through the given RGB port it has a totally blue screen and says "Not Supported" [01:14] if i have a ubuntu box running, and i've a raw disk of exactly the size of the ubuntu box (but this one is more upto date), is there a way to push the update image as an update on the running box? [01:15] escott: step one =? [01:15] escott: got it thanks.. :) [01:15] scott__, ls /media is step one. pick a folder listed there and sudo rmdir "whatever you found" [01:16] escott: sorry i really just don't have a clue. but, i really appreciate your time in helping me with this. [01:16] hi, this is a minor thing, how can i change the uggly ass battery icon on 11.10? no matter what icon theme i use, it stays the same, big and chunky. [01:17] learner, Yeah, you need the gnome-tweak-tool package [01:17] learner, That will allow you more control over changing icons and themes [01:17] escott: so there's usb usb0-usb7. therefore, the command would look like.... rmdir usb, rmdir usb0, rmdir usb1 for each? [01:19] scott__, sudo rmdir /media/usb [01:19] escott: roger. then, sudo rmdir /media/usb0 etc? [01:19] scott__, yes [01:20] escott: gotcha, back in a few mins.

[01:24] does anyone know why openoffice is so bad with saved files with images in it? that is, every time i open the file the images and text shift? [01:25] Probably because of quantum mechanics affecting the file on your hard disk. [01:25] Jerrry: is there a way to fix it? [01:25] Freeze your computer before you sleep every night. [01:26] Jerrry, thats nonsense stop it [01:26] I'm just trying to help. [01:26] i downloaded lotus symphony. ive heard from ppl this works [01:26] Jerrry, thats not helpful, this not a joke channel.

[01:40] scott__, sorry just saw your paste. i think disk fujitsu120 usb is a single string so sudo rmdir "/media/Disk[TAB]" [01:42] escott: with quotes? [01:43] scott__, yes the quotes will prevent the shell from interpreting the spaces. alternately you can sudo rmdir /media/Disk[TAB] and you will see /media/Disk\ Fujistu120\ usb [01:43] Hey guys, I wonder if someone have reported slow connection speeds? I tried Ubuntu and Fedora on my Dell N5010 for while, but it takes 15 sec to load any website or any picture etc.tried wireless and wired internet [01:43] webpages in windows loads up instantly like it sopose to this never happened to me in my life been using linux for years.

[01:58] escott: yessir [01:58] escott, common mistake? [01:58] scott__, but the folders are still appearing in ls /media? [01:59] Hi there!

[02:17] Snowie: updated every 6 mo - when we have a new release. [02:17] Blackshirt, whats the cmd for the show option? [02:17] Snowie: if you want in between udates, use a ppa is the normal way. or source if you cant find a ppa. [02:17] Snowie: some times some packages get put in the backports or other repos. [02:17] dr_willis: generally to the latest version, or can that be held up by dependencies. Im sure 2.61 has been out before the release of 11.10 [02:18] Snowie: it all depends on the timint. [02:18] timeing. [02:18] Snowie, historically ubuntu has been debian testing frozen 3-6m before the release date and then tweaked and stabilized [02:19] ok, well i can grab the latest version from their site. what is a ppa?

[03:02] SmartTowel: nice nick [03:02] SmartTowel: nice nick [03:04] LABcrab: the same way you would on a machine, install the dwnloadable virtualbox, create a vdi(disk) insert the dvd/cd, point to it in virtualbox, the rest is just another install [03:04] OffGridOps, the pgp keys as part of the update? [03:04] no what happened was i had keys and uploaded them then i had to reinstall the os [03:05] dealt w/a bug that i have on launchpad [03:05] so i have keys on launchpad and uploaded them into the ubuntu server deal [03:06] i need to know if i need to delete them or is there a way to make them jive w/the new install [03:08] escott: back [03:08] escott: did the output help you?

[03:09] escott: grep media /etc/fstab came back empty [03:10] wookienz, ubuntu does not have sandboxing, and why would you need to? [03:10] Does anyone here have any experience setting up dual graphics cards for 3 total monitors? I'm trying to get my X desktop to span all 3 screens, but right now I have a situation where X starts on the third monitor, and the other two mirror a text TTY. I can use the TTY if I use CRTL+ALT+F2, and the X desktop stays up there on the third monitor. I want a spanned X desktop across all 3 monitors. [03:11] wookienz: run it in a virtual instance? virtualbox? [03:11] has anyone here customized a ubuntu live iso? [03:12] hmm, I managed to boot an old kernel and its working, think its version 12?

[03:30] fernandito, Okay try entering this in the Terminal "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [03:30] abu-bakr: on that, you can only boot from raid1 or normal block devices. [03:30] fernandito, That will reconfigure the xserver and restart your graphics interface [03:31] fernandito, If that works then you have a solution there.

[05:08] * phillip would ONLY have brain lag to blame [05:08] Android1435: putty just sends the control key press, so it doesn't have standard rich application functionality [05:08] fman: 1 min left :)))) yay!!!

[05:19] I don't recall being asked, lol [05:19] K1rk: got the wrong iso [05:20] I didn't realize there was a 64-bit mini.iso lol [05:20] It's fine, I'm burning the amd64 alt cd [05:20] I was just like GRRR [05:20] Drives me crazy, too. All these magazines have 32 bit discs on the front :P [05:20] Ciao! [05:20] I wish a single 32-bit install CD could do either kernel. [05:20] It'd be so handy. [05:21] I have so many wasted CDs from the 1 or 2 times here and there that I have to burn a 32-bit CD to do something with an old computer. lol [05:21] K1rk: i thought u could? it would not be a question directly asked though [05:21] fman: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libsdl-mixed1.2-dev [05:22] K1rk: You could theoretically use a USB disk [05:22] GraemeLion: True, I have before. [05:22] phillip: u need to upgrade :P [05:22] But I could also theoretically beat myself to death with a hammer. [05:22] It would be less painful [05:22] phillip one sec [05:22] or at least dvd-/cd-rw [05:23] K1rk: Hehe. When I was going through OS choices for this desktop, I had to use USB keys. Otherwise I'd have burned through around 40 disks :P [05:23] phillip:it is in the universe repo [05:23] http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/libsdl-image1.2-dev [05:23] GraemeLion: I have already done 3.

[05:31] I'm not a big fan of Unity yet. [05:31] K1rk: I go through phases. My laptop is running Gnome shell. [05:31] i switch between unity2d, unity, gnome shell, and kde [05:31] Configuration complete! [05:31] GraemeLion: Gnome 3? [05:32] My desktop is running Unity. [05:32] kde might be my fav though [05:32] K1rk: Unity is gnome 3 too [05:32] I'm using xfce [05:32] phillip: now "make;sudo make install" [05:32] tp43 I have tried XFCE, and I do like a lot about it. [05:32] K1rk: I use Xfce on Debian Testing. [05:32] !checkinstsall | fman23 [05:32] !checkinstall | fman23 [05:32] fman23: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [05:33] GraemeLion: I know Unity looks a lot like Gnome 3.... they're the same thing? [05:33] I think desktop doesn't need to provide so much, I wish screenlets worked better though [05:33] K1rk: They're just shells on top of an architecture. [05:33] fman: lol you got botted [05:33] I use xfce, cairo-dock, compiz, and screenlets. Gnome 3 does windows scaling, but compiz does it much faster and smoother [05:33] phillip: llutz_ wants u to use checkinstall instead of "make install" [05:34] K1rk: If you go to "System Monitor" , you'll see Gnome 3.2.1 for Unity in Ubuntu 11.10 [05:34] fman23: its always better to install stuff using the package-managagement [05:34] I am thinking of going back to debian, cause ubuntu is running so slow for me now [05:35] too late [05:35] ill try it later though [05:35] llutz_: i use it a lot, but only to quickly generate packages. it might be a little confusing in this case though [05:35] tp43: What about xubuntu? [05:35] fman23: sudo apt-get install checkinstall && sudo checkinstall very confusing. [05:36] llutz_: no, getting the package info and stuff, unless he just leaves it at default [05:36] GraemeLion, lxde sucks [05:36] llutz_: which would make a package called "0.4" [05:36] GraemeLion, xfce using gnome, so its prettier [05:36] tp43: Hmm. Maybe Arch would be more for you :D [05:37] well, good luck in updating/uninstalling then [05:37] llutz_: the program provides an uninstall binary [05:37] GraemeLion, maybe, but I am gonna go for debian, its most stable, I don't care about the latest packages, stability is more important [05:38] fman: with me and my family, easy simple normal and common are almost nonexistent terms to descrive our lives [05:38] Hello [05:38] fman: with me and my family, easy simple normal and common are almost never terms to descrive our lives === Clank is now known as Guest17409 [05:38] fman: with me and my family, easy simple normal and common are almost never terms to descrbve our lives [05:38] where can I see a list of recently installed packages?

Not used to IRC [06:05] Another thing, sound worked on my speakers perfectly fine. [06:05] :\ [06:06] Anyone? [06:08] nickserv identify 6197886484 [06:08] mikeyfbi: how are you in the terminal? [06:08] Dawny: time for a new pass [06:08] Dawny: You're not identified. [06:08] Dawny, that did not a work. [06:10] milamber, getting there, i have got rid of that error it seems, i just have this one now http://paste.ubuntu.com/773008/ [06:10] -.- Why won't my headphones work?! :'( [06:11] can i boot up ubuntu live cd without it trying to mount my harddrive (already installed with another linux) (ubuntu trying to mount the harddrive fails and causes kernel panic) i figured since its a live cd, it should be able to boot sucessfully, without worrying about the harddrive [06:11] mebigfatguy1: Is there any other info you need at the moment? [06:13] Can someone help me troubleshoot or fix my sound issues? [06:14] mikeyfbi: i am pretty sure that the kernel no longer uses that formatting [06:15] Nevermind, got it. Had to go into alsamixer. But there's now an annoying buzzing noise D= [06:15] mikeyfbi: and that tutorial was written for a 7 series, which means it is close to five years old [06:16] mikeyfbi: i would check in ##kernel [06:16] milamber, shoot! lol k thanks [06:16] Im guessing he left. Can anyone else help me then? [06:16] Hey clank [06:16] Hello [06:17] What the problems? [06:18] hi all [06:18] can i boot up ubuntu live cd without it trying to mount my harddrive? [06:18] Blackshirt: Well, I did an update in ubuntu and now it wont log in. You go to log in and it goes to a black screen, flashes some words, then goes back to the login screen [06:19] Can someone help me troubleshoot or fix my sound issues? [06:19] is there a simple ide where I can type a c prorgam and hit F5 to compile it and run it in a terminal ? [06:19] qmanjr5: What is your system: [06:20] silv3r_m00n, simple and ide seldom go together [06:20] silv3r_m00n: fte, geany, perhaps others [06:20] qmanjr5: You dont by chace have a UX380n or sometihng like that? [06:20] Clank50AE, Natty Narwhal [06:20] Clank50AE, no. [06:20] Did you mean OS? [06:20] dr_willis: let me check [06:20] no, I meat your actual system lol [06:20] hi hi [06:21] Intel? Specifically, what do you want to know. :P [06:21] i don't know [06:21] well, I thought maybe I could help, but outside of the comp im using, Im useless on Ubuntu -.- Im sorry [06:21] Alrigh. [06:21] I love Linux, but it's so problematic sometimes... [06:21] hi everyone, how can I chart ICMP time responses?? Thanks. [06:22] can you tell me for what is this program ? [06:22] qmanjr5: yeah, I'd use it instead of windows, but It has a few to many problems on some pc's [06:22] Clank,check your .iceauthority file on your home [06:22] Blackshirt: How? [06:22] ucenik34: clarify what you mean. [06:22] dimitri7, you can pipe stuff to gnuplot [06:23] escott: thank you, does it have a GUI? [06:23] english is not my best side [06:23] :D [06:23] Clank. Check permition.. [06:24] escott: wow it plots beautifully :D [06:24] Blackshirt: lol i'll have to google that, I dont know stuff like that on Ubuntu. What umber should I set it to? [06:24] Clank,you can use $ls -la [06:24] dr_willis: geany looks good [06:25] Clank,sory,check ownership [06:25] Blackshirt: Thats all I have to put into the console? Sorry i'm such A newb, I dont want to be a burden [06:25] Blackshirt: uh... I'm not sure how to do that either [06:26] dimitri7, there are guis for gnuplot, but not that many because guis for dynamic data is harder. there are also network monitoring tools most are web based [06:26] If you can't login,you can switch to first console [06:27] Blackshirt: Yeah, I cant login, but I can get a root shell and I can login as my user from the recovery shell [06:28] Yeah,use it === seanr|away is now known as seanr [06:40] pere [06:40] sadd [06:40] asdfgfsdyh [06:40] escott: could you give me some examples please? [06:40] asdfgfsdyh [06:40] asdfgfsdyh [06:40] ucenik22: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:41] of web based monitoring tools [06:41] dimitri7, of gnuplot i've not used it in ages [06:41] no but [06:41] I still need help... Ubuntu is not as fun as I wanted it to be [06:42] other monitoring tools [06:42] dimitri7, this guy uses ping and gnuplot http://www.cs.unc.edu/~jeffay/dirt/FAQ/gnuplot.html [06:42] escott: thanks, ntop is good? [06:43] dimitri7, you can use whatever you want you just have to use gawk or some other tool to parse out the numbers you need [06:44] *sigh* [06:44] escott: ok, thank you, I am checking.. === r3v0 is now known as zz_r3v0 === seanr is now known as seanr|away [06:49] I can't boot from my live cd. All that happens is one line is printed to the screen, and then it boots to windows. [06:50] dimthedimmer: what line? how did you make the cd [06:53] I downloaded the iso. I didn't write it down, but "Isolinux something somehting copyright somebody" I forgot to mention there is a 5 or so minuet delay, after the line is printed. === codehunter is now known as api984 [06:54] dr_willis: I downloaded the iso. I didn't write it down, but "Isolinux something somehting copyright somebody" I forgot to mention there is a 5 or so minuet delay, after the line is printed. [06:55] dimthedimmer: you did verify the md5sum of the iso? [06:55] isolinux is the bootloader on the cd. [06:56] Hi, everyone? I have problem using Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000. I can't enable it. I'm trying http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/608 but nothing happened. Anyone give me some advice? [06:57] dr_willis I did not. I probably should have. [06:57] Anyone here familiar with BackTrack? [06:57] !backtrack | jjjrmy [06:57] jjjrmy: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [06:57] jjjrmy, basically strace [06:58] escott: I'd like to install BURG on BackTrack, do you think you can help me? the #backtrack-linux chan is dead. [06:58] jjjrmy: check burg homepage/forums perhaps [06:59] dr_willis: Their site seems to be down. Do you think someone here can help? [06:59] jjjrmy: or hit up askubuntu.com for a guide === soreau_ is now known as soreau [06:59] dr_willis: Couldn't find anything. :/ [06:59] i doubr if burg is 'supported' here.. sounds like a good reason to not use burg... [07:00] i dont see much point in sopending a lof of effort you see for 10 sec when you boot. [07:00] !burg [07:00] dr_willis, but it looks so much prettier, you spend all day rebooting to impress your friends with that pretty bootloader menu [07:01] escott: i reboot my headless server about once a month. ;) [07:01] if you read how often "reboot" is mentioned here, they'll see it for hours daily [07:01] dr_willis, your problem is that you insist on running an OS. an OS is just a fancy interface to allow you to reboot [07:02] so anyone here with acer 3830? i wnat to know haow to fix brightness. in 11.04 u could use https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight [07:02] escott: im working on emacsOS ;0 [07:02] but aperently its suposed to work with kernel 3.x but not or me [07:04] dr_willis: do you want to reboot? [07:04] # init 6 :D [07:04] want something fancier, use macintosh ... baaac. [07:06] dr_willis: Sadly, the md5 is correct. Would burning another cd be of use? Thank you for your help. [07:06] do you have the bios set to boot from cd ? [07:07] Tech-1, he does [07:07] : Tech-1 Yes, I think so. [07:07] ok [07:07] do you know how to check ? [07:07] dimthedimmer, do you know if any other linux system will boot? [07:07] Tech-1, its trying to boot the CD he gets the ISOLinux line [07:08] o [07:08] huh [07:08] dimthedimmer: i always use usb these days [07:08] escott: I can boot damnsmalllinux from a usb key [07:08] dimthedimmer: what tol did yiu use to make the cd [07:10] dr_Willis I used InfraRecorder. [07:10] dr_willis: I used InfraRecorder. [07:11] try the cd in other machines. could be weirdness with that one optical drive [07:11] or try usb [07:13] Thank you. [07:13] Hello everyone :) Stoopid saturday morning question. Someone can dd over wlan? :3 [07:13] sokak, you can pipe it through ssh [07:14] sokak: Yes. People use dd to backup or destroy. [07:14] Thats cool, i follow til the pipe, then ssh gets me lost :D I guess i have to check deeper trough ssh tuts :) [07:15] Lasers, i was meant to backup my friends brand new laptops over wlan to avoid to open them physically and have the dd done the old way :) [07:15] hi my acer 5755 FAILS to connect to the internet using xubuntu 10.04 live CD [07:15] HELP [07:15] ACER 5755 is a brand new laptop [07:15] about how long should booting from a live cd take? seconds, minuets, hours? [07:16] escott, Lasers kudos to both for driving me in the right direction [07:16] dimthedimmer, depends on what medium you're booting from. [07:16] I am using a different computer to fix my problem [07:16] dimthedimmer, until is pretty old junk, it should take few minutes. [07:16] booting from USB is always faster. [07:16] i agree c_smith [07:16] sokak, dd if=whatever | ssh user@host tee output.img [07:16] sokak: wlan? Why not plug in the ethernet card and use livecd so the hard drive isn't active. [07:17] sokak, but taking a dd image of a mounted partition is not a good idea [07:17] thank you all. [07:17] dimthedimmer, a bootable USB stick only takes a few minutes too boot, a LiveCD takes 5-10 minutes. [07:17] escott, ty :) Lasers, because i wanted to do five/more at once without crawling up to my ruter stitched on the ceiling [07:17] sokak, your image file will be corrupted [07:18] dimthedimmer, and those are just rough estimates, hardware can easily affect the time taken. [07:18] escott, the scenario is few laptops with w7 booting from a live pendrive sitting nearby my box [07:18] sokak: Yeah. Use LiveCD. Plug the laptop to the router/switch. DD over network to your computer or something. [07:19] A more complex question then. Can i dd to a nas drive that way? :D [07:19] quick question to whomever knows, it's possible to ssh over a wireless connection, right? [07:19] right. thank you. [07:19] c_smith, thats a point in really interested into. [07:19] im* [07:20] sokak, same here, I'm getting a Desktop in the near future, and ssh to update would be useful. [07:20] Can someone help me with BURG, to change the icon of something? [07:20] Lasers, you reminded me i have an emtec modded multimedia hdd with ash shell i can ssh into. [07:20] c_smith, you can ssh over carrier pigeon [07:21] now im getting intrigue, surely its worth a try. [07:21] escott, carrier pidgin? what's that? [07:21] hi, ubuntu 10.04 FAILS to give me wired or wireless net connection on my brand new Acer 5755 laptop, help ???????? [07:21] I used the cd and wiped win 7 [07:21] c_smith, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt [07:22] cmon [07:22] ubuntu, google for your model of laptop wireless, then follow directions. Or plug it via ethernet and let jockey do its job. [07:22] sokak, the ethernet does not work [07:22] ubuntu: on a very new machine/hardware. 10.04 may not have the proper drivers [07:22] ubuntu: id try 11.10 on it [07:22] dr_willis, so 11.10 [07:22] 11.04 ? [07:22] i agree with dr_willis [07:22] damn I like xubuntu better than regular ubuntu [07:23] so use xubuntu 11.10 [07:23] *laughs at escott point on rfc1149 [07:24] hi guys any one of you use tomboy for taking notes? [07:24] here i am pranav__ [07:24] escott, so, from reading that, I take it the Carrier Pidgin is a Wireless Connection? [07:24] c_smith, sure, but it suffers from sort of high ping [07:24] pranav__: it used to be real popular [07:24] i have a problem.. i want to create a section in a notebook [07:24] i dont think so it is possible [07:25] c_smith, carrier pigeon is a joke. ssh runs on top of tcp/ip. if you have tcp/ip you can run ssh. doesn't matter how the packets are delivered. slap them on the back of a dolphin and train it to swim across the ocean [07:25] in that section i want to add notes [07:25] dr_willis, sokak ok [07:25] ubuntu [07:25] question? how do I create a bootable usb stick to act live a live cd ? [07:25] c_smith, may not work well, may not be fast, may drop out, but it will work [07:25] pranav__, if you want to keep sort of an extended diary, look in the software center, there is a lot of software making you able to keep much articulated and searchable diaries. [07:25] pranav__: for a very flexiable note type system try 'tiddlywiki' [07:25] tfn2k, any idea I need to make a usb bootable for xubuntu 11.10 [07:26] yes [07:26] Can someone please help me with BURG? it'll take one second [07:26] apt-get install unetbootin [07:26] ubuntu, boot from a live and use the included software, or just google for unetbootin [07:26] escott, ok, let me rephrase, is it possible to ssh with an internet connection on a laptop connected to a router? [07:26] ubuntu: you can dd the 11.10 xubuntu cd to flash. or butn it to disk. [07:26] @sokak , @dr_willis thanks a lot :) [07:26] c_smith, sokak and the carrier pigeon was implemented by a LUG group if you want to see photos of it [07:26] c_smith: yes... [07:26] so its unetbootin [07:26] ok [07:26] ty [07:26] escott, also, I really got a kick out of that once I got it. [07:26] escott, i saw that, i wished to be there [07:27] dd if=/path.image.iso of=/dev/usbdevice [07:27] c_smith, and the answer is the same. yes. you can ssh, and it will work as well as your web connection does [07:27] dr_willis, escott, thanks for the answer, and joke. [07:27] :( [07:27] firest umount [07:27] firts* [07:27] oh :( [07:27] escott, the pictures would make my night. [07:27] tfn2k, the best way to dd a whole system is to boot from a live then do it [07:27] Please, someone help me with BURG realy fast. :) [07:27] ivd dd'd running systems.. but its not a good idea. [07:28] anyone have any luck with unetbootin ??? [07:28] sokak ok! [07:28] i have luck with unetbootin [07:28] cause last time I tried back in the eeepc days I had to revert back to winblows to make the usb bootable [07:28] ubuntu: check the pendrivelinux site for alternatives to unetbootin [07:28] I have this wonderful desktop (haven't used in a while) who is acting up on boot. in short: i get a file not found. though if I boot with a rescue cd and drop to the shell, I can confirm that grub's menu.lst appears correct and lists files that really are there in /boot, what else could I test / dig into? [07:28] ubuntu, its a pretty self explanatory software. Pick a distro and let it download, or just use a iso file. [07:29] damn cant install unetbootin from live cd [07:29] dr_willis, they also suggest unetbootin as a valid and robust alternative theirself. [07:29] ubuntu: w/eeepc all youhave to do is correct bios and it works fine, but, yes, unetbootin works nicely [07:29] ok [07:29] Tech-1, thanks, [07:29] ive had issues with unetbootin in the past. been using other tools lately [07:29] I guess i have to remove something form the live cd, now, because I can't even d/l unetbootin from the live cd from apt [07:29] please helplpolpp me [07:30] dr_willis, thats odd to hear. Still the builtin tool in ubuntu works nicely. [07:30] jjjrmy: no one here seems to know burg.. [07:30] dr_willis: Like all I want to do is change the icon, how? [07:30] jjjrmy, point me whats this burg, and if i can eat it. [07:30] jjjrmy, (a) its not an ubuntu question (b) its just a bootloader its not that important [07:30] of course with 11.10 you can just use 'dd' ;) [07:30] jjjrmy: find it... edit it .. i guess [07:31] What O.o Does exist anything than grub? O.o [07:31] sokak: lilo, syslinux, burg, grub1 grub2, .. [07:31] i was joking dr_willis , still i dont feel me without grub ;P [07:33] and the supergrubdisk - i sucks in fixing grub entries -.- [07:33] hi guys, hey do you know a langage-aware difftool ? looking for C [07:34] a diff tool? Tried Meld? [07:34] real fun is when you learn them all.... then ger them mixxed up... [07:34] ahh, language aware one - just ignore me :3 [07:34] CrazyGir, so menu.lst is grub1 and most people have switched to grub2 verify you have the write version of grub installed [07:34] I did it! [07:35] without any help from you guys [07:35] cheers. [07:35] we will still send you a bill..... [07:35] escott, grub legacy not grub1 [07:35] *laughs* [07:36] grub legacy is grub1, is grub-pc i thought [07:36] upgrading from maveric to oneiric, shall i go trough natty, or just start from scratch would be better? [07:36] or am i cofused again.. its 3 am .. [07:37] ok i AM running from a live-cd, can I install unetbootin, d/l ubuntu 11.10 to a usb hd, and install it to a usb ? [07:37] sokak: clean install alwst better for me [07:37] having problems here [07:37] might need to take the computer home [07:37] dr_willis, is there something called grub1 [07:37] escott: how is g2 configured? [07:37] dr_willis, grub-pc is 1.99 aka 2. the naming is decidedly suboptimal [07:37] ubuntu: the live cd has a tool to put iso on flash allready [07:38] dr_willis, i thought so, its just that im damn lazy *looks at the stacked eth wires still trying to dd over wlan to avoid to plug them* [07:38] dr_willis, which is this tool > [07:38] ? [07:38] CrazyEddy, grub-pc vs 1.99 aka grub2 has a grub.cfg file and a bunch of *.mod files in /boot/grub [07:38] ubuntu: usb disk creator or somthig in the menus [07:39] when I issue openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048 does that generate the public or private key ? [07:39] ubuntu: or for a 11.10 iso you can jst use 'dd' [07:39] CrazyEddy, you probably want to chroot into your system from the rescue cd and figure out what kind of grub version is available on the system and then make sure that is on the mbr [07:39] kudos to everyone, moving back to shell tryin to dd over wlan [07:40] guest_, it should generate both [07:40] dr_willis, ok Im looking for this "tool" in xubuntu 10.04' [07:40] s menus [07:40] hi [07:40] guest_, private key [07:40] ubuntu: i dont use xubuntu. so no idea [07:40] startup disk creator ? [07:40] found that [07:41] try it and see.. sounds right [07:41] nice [07:41] look right so far [07:41] guest it you open it with a text editor you should see '-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----' in the first line [07:41] guest_, ^^ [07:44] Lenovo notebook Phoenix BIOS anyone? Why so few options? Should I flash it? === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker [07:49] makara: is there some actual problem with it? [07:53] Generations will suffer from the horrors bestowed upon us by the NetworkManager [07:53] Madkiss, lets take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:53] cant say ive had any issues with it... [07:54] bazhang: How exactly is "My Network Manager interferes with /etc/network/interfaces and cuts the connection to the box every 5 minutes although I did every possible thing I know to just disable it" "chit chat"? [07:55] 'suffer the horrors...' is vague ramblings.. [07:55] Madkiss, I was referring to the subsequent commentary, "the horrors" etc [07:55] I don't even know what it's doing. It's setting a default-route on wlan0 to 192.168.122.1, which is an IP that never has even existed anyhwere in my LAN. [07:55] dr_willis: no [07:56] makara: if you have no need to flash it..... [07:56] So I have no idea where it's getting that address from. and it constantly refuses to just not do anything, either. [07:56] hola [07:56] I have ubuntu server setup as an NTP server, and attempting to install CUCM, but it will not advance till it successfully queries the NTP server. I fired up wireshark on a third VM and see them communicating but with this error in the packet: Leap Indicator: unknown (clock unsynchronized) Peer Clock Stratum: unspecified or invalid. So Im assuming if I can assign ntpd a stratum number that it [07:56] would advance [07:57] and CUCM keeps rejecting the NTP server address and will not advance in the install until it does [07:57] How to copy a string of text from rxvt-unicode to clipboard and then from clipboard to another terminal? [07:57] I have this in my ntp.conf FWIW [07:57] fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 [07:57] im not familiar with fudge Madkiss what is that [07:58] hostname? [07:58] lunitunez: "man ntp.conf" will get you a detailed description of the fudge keyword, better than I could. [07:58] dr_willis: what about 64x Ubuntu. Should I stick with 32? I just don't want to change my mind down the line. A lot of programs I'm going to be setting up [07:58] thanks ill do that [07:58] does anybody know what is contained in a csr file certification signing request file that you give to verisign? [07:59] makara: use 64bit if you have 64bit hardware [07:59] hello [07:59] how can i install jack kit on my linux ? [07:59] I just do want to be sending my private key to them [07:59] makara: Do you have more than 4 gigs of ram in your machine? [08:01] makara: on i386, a single program can not use more than 4 gigs of ram, and the kernel can not address more than 4 gigs of ram directly either (that's what people use the PAE kernels for). If your CPU can do x86_64, go for that. [08:01] Madkiss: 8meg [08:01] hu? [08:01] 8 megabytes of ram? So it's an embedded device? [08:01] gig sorry [08:02] definatly go 64bit then [08:02] dr_willis++; [08:02] everything else will give you headache sooner or later. [08:03] and all the typical end-user-binary things are available for 64bit by now anyway. [08:03] i want to install from usb. alternative or desktop iso? [08:03] makara: both works afaik [08:03] makara: they install the same ubuntu desktop [08:04] hi, hab itunes mit wine installiert, wenn ich es öffne, wird der halbe Bildschirm schwarz, wieso passiert sowas? [08:04] makara: i think the alternative iso is mainly necessary if you need LVM during the installation, which is not available in the desktop isos. apart from that, desktop ought towork. [08:05] hello [08:05] nahab: the desktop images do have an X11 based installation, which the alternative disk has not, so that might influence the decision too [08:06] s/nahab/makara/ [08:06] x11 gui based installer.. [08:07] When Canonical releases an update or security patch on oneirc-{security,updates}, do those updates ever make it onto the oneirc distribution or does oneirc simply reflect the packages versions frozen at the time of release of the CD-ROM ISO? [08:07] desktop it is [08:07] thanks [08:07] penguin359: every so often they do a updated cd. like a 11.10.01 [08:08] penguin359: not really sure when they do this. mainly for lts i belive [08:08] last question: The notebook came with Win7. Should I dual-boot or clean the whole dang thing? [08:08] Madkiss I salute you, I've been trying to get this shit to work for HOURS and that did it [08:09] makara: i suggest dualboot -- why delete working OS [08:09] thank you [08:09] dr_willis: yes, they've only done that for 6.04, 8.04, and 10.04 LTS releases [08:09] makara: if you won't use win7, remove it [08:09] How to copy a string of text from rxvt-unicode to clipboard and then from clipboard to another terminal? [08:10] lunitunez: you're most welcome [08:10] bullgard4: clipbord managers can sync the 'selection' buffer to the clipbord. [08:10] 10.04.0, 10.04.1, 10.04.2, etc represent a release of a new ISO of Ubuntu 10.04. [08:10] llutz_: why? it wouldn't harm the ubuntu. It spends some 50G of harddisk but if there is plenty of that available it still is a working os [08:10] bullgard4: or select, then middle click. ;) [08:10] is there a way to make te screen 'flash' from the CLI ? sort of as cheese does when taking a photograph? [08:11] Hi..I want Ubuntu + Fedora (DUal boot)...Is it possible ? [08:11] susundberg: still 2 waisted partitions for stuff you don't need [08:11] Amdpc: yes its possible [08:11] llutz_: and not to say that i have ended up in situations where some badly designed web services (such as video stream) work only with windows - so i have to usually keep it as failsafe [08:11] How ? [08:11] My question is whether packages on the lucid distribution are updates to newer versions outside of a CD release, as opposed to packages on lucid-security, lucid-updates, etc. [08:11] susundberg: it's your choice to do what you like. [08:12] weyer: you mean like a visual bell? [08:12] yes [08:12] llutz_: ya, and you are also correct, its waste of space surely if one does not need it .. [08:12] dr_willis : How to do that ? / [08:12] The simple way is to write Control-G to the screen. [08:12] susundberg: and if you nearly never use that win, it won't be updated. you don't want to go online with a never updated windows at all [08:12] try echo ^G [08:13] dr_willis: "select, then middle click" does not work. Instead, the old contents of the clipboard will be pasted. [08:13] in order to get ^G, you must hit Ctrl-V and Ctrl-G on the keyboard [08:13] don't type a literal ^ followed by a G. [08:13] dr_willis : Because grub is unable to detect fedora on a diffrent partition..I tried Installing fedora first and then Ubuntu.. [08:14] bullgard4: try some of the clipbord manager tools. ive had some desktops not touch the 'selection' buffer. not tried it lately [08:14] Amdpc: make your own custome entry for grub for the other os. [08:14] Amdpc: and put in the grub configs [08:15] dr_willis : Ok.. Thanks :-) [08:16] can I buy Ubuntu? [08:18] you can order dvds [08:18] DeltaEpsilon: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/cds [08:18] the price is nominal, though, the software is ree [08:19] "Ubuntu is completely free. The price covers the cost of the CDs, postage & packaging" [08:19] computer magazines are often at bookstores with cd's also [08:19] : http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 [08:20] like this http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=704 [08:22] DeltaEpsilon: you can buy ubuntu-cd/dvds. you can also download the cd/dvd for free (as in free bear). also all software from the cd is free as in free speech [08:23] is anyone here? [08:23] "(as in free bear)" ;) [08:23] TikaTaka: /n [08:23] susundberg: :) [08:23] :D [08:23] why /n iceroot ? [08:23] I would like to have a free bear [08:23] TikaTaka: to see all nicks here [08:24] i mean't is anyone here and active, but i think ive had my question answered :) [08:24] DeltaEpsilon: I wouldn't, having to pay to feed that bear... that would get really spendy [08:24] now if I could be given a free bear, and then sell it, that could be good [08:24] leave bears alone [08:24] Hi, a friend has a problem to install his HP Laser printer. What should he install cups or something else? [08:25] does anyone know why the software center doesnt work when i try to install a program [08:25] dr_willis: I disagree installing programs like Glipper or Glippy. I have copied text strings vom rxvt-unicode to clipboard without an intermediary. But I forgot how I have done it. [08:25] TASK: cups is installed by default but there are hplib packages which contain drivers for hp printers [08:25] is the amd64 distro of linux hardy likely to be more buggy than the x86 version ? [08:25] TikaTaka: no [08:25] then how come i cant seem to install anything in the software center [08:26] TikaTaka: but hardy is no longer supported (only the server edition) [08:26] TikaTaka: No. Quite the contrary. [08:26] !eol | TikaTaka [08:26] TikaTaka: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [08:26] hello everybody [08:26] which version is supported ? [08:26] TikaTaka: 10.04 and everything higher [08:26] bullgard4: ive seen wm and desktop tools that sync the 2. i know glippy and otherscan [08:27] penguin359: that is not doing anything [08:27] well i did a net install using http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer [08:27] bullgard4: select and middle click worked here last i tried [08:27] i assume it would be the latest? [08:27] TikaTaka: that is 12.04 [08:27] TikaTaka: which is not stable [08:28] TikaTaka: the latest stable-release is 11.10 (oneiric) [08:28] is there a net install for it ? [08:28] dr_willis: I do not know why it does not work here on my Ubuntu 11.10 Thinkpad T61. [08:28] TikaTaka: of course [08:28] !download [08:28] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Oneiric, and help keeping the servers' load low! [08:28] I'm using iptables to redirect packets to squid in order to be filtered. Using 192.168.1.0/24 in the rule, all users get redirect to the squid. What I want, is to redirect just some machines. for example 192.168.1.161 - 192.168.1.189 [08:29] is 192.168.1.160/27 going to work ? [08:29] is the http and ftp servers interchangable ? i mean if i find the link on archive.ubuntu.com can i change the protocol to ftp and copy the folders that way? [08:29] I mean iptables .... -s 192.168.1.160/27 [08:29] hi, what would be the proper way to restart networking in 11.10? its highly confusing :( [08:30] i guess oneiric is here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/ [08:30] TikaTaka: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [08:31] TikaTaka: or the amd64 if you need http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [08:31] minimal should be the same as netinstall [08:31] anyone? :) [08:31] do i just replace my current mini.iso on my tftp server with that one then ? [08:31] TikaTaka: tftp? sounds like pxe [08:32] yea thats how im booting [08:32] pxe can handle isos? [08:32] TikaTaka: if that is working, yes you only have to replace the iso [08:32] there's a mini.iso file there [08:32] wp sudo service networking restart [08:32] TikaTaka: but why pxe with a netinstall-image? [08:32] is one way [08:33] i dont have a spare USB :) so i setup a tftp server and the laptop supports pxe booting [08:33] thats how i installed 12 [08:34] it worked, so i didnt complain [08:34] i have a spare windows machine, using http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ it also has support for PXE [08:35] windows?! omg! [08:35] don't have a baby :) [08:36] that would hurt [08:36] compdoc: restart: Unknown instance: [08:36] compdoc: this is why i'm confused, i hate the new system ;P [08:36] wp, try service networking start [08:37] compdoc: networking stop/waiting [08:37] is the output ? [08:37] err, sudo service networking start [08:37] also, sudo service networking status [08:37] sounds like its up now [08:38] same output. :) [08:38] now try sudo service networking restart [08:38] restart: Unknown instance: [08:39] when i try stop, it says stop: Unknown instance: [08:39] piece of shit... :) [08:39] hmmm, well there is another way [08:39] wp: please refrain from profanities [08:40] how to add my username to an extra group? [08:40] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [08:40] DeltaEpsilon: sudo adduser user group [08:40] wondering is there a way to disable the use of passwords in ubuntu 11.10? [08:40] sudo /etc/init.d/networking start (or stop) [08:41] InsanityWerks: if you are refering to password when using sudo then i would highly advise against that [08:41] auronandace: im trying to restart my networking, thats all :) [08:42] wp: so you don't need to swear then [08:42] thats true, im swearing at the person who made this up ;) [08:42] not that password just when starting my pc and when it come back from the screensaver [08:43] auronandace: do you have an idea whats going on perhaps? [08:43] which version of ubuntu? maybe its old [08:43] wp: sorry, my network works fine [08:43] compdoc: 11.10 [08:43] when using kvm on ubuntu, can I use my own kernel in the guest? [08:43] * sattu941 wonders why stop, start restart don't work for service networking {start,stop,restart}... [08:43] DeltaEpsilon, sure [08:43] sattu941: i have the same issue? :) [08:44] i was getting dead battery warning, my screen would go blank and my dvdrom wasn't working, but then I installed debian, and my screen is working again [08:44] I have the full screen visual bell working, but it dims the screen shortly. is there a command to do the opposite? flash it white? I need that to have a 'flash' on a scriptbased based snapshot taker with webcam [08:44] I am totally shocked to see my screen working after so long [08:44] InsanityWerks: if you have a password prompt when you turn it on then that is most likely set in the bios (not a ubuntu issue) [08:44] ok [08:44] wp: I mostly worked around it using /etc/init.d/networking {start,stop,restart}... [08:45] InsanityWerks: for the screensaver there should be some settings somewhere (i'm not sure since i don't use screensavers) [08:45] compdoc: http://pastebin.com/UiPeHq3m [08:45] there is a term for the names of distros like natty or hardy of lisa .. what is the name for that type of naming convention ?? [08:45] wp, guess you didnt see my other method [08:46] sudo /etc/init.d/networking start (or stop) [08:47] TACPILOT: lisa? that is from mint? [08:47] yeah [08:47] compdoc: http://pastebin.com/vNff0Va5 [08:47] compdoc: this is why its a bit confusing for me :) [08:47] TACPILOT: ask mint about their naming conventions [08:48] wp, that shows it worked [08:48] !mint | TACPILOT [08:48] TACPILOT: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [08:48] its not the name in particular its the term for that type of naming I am looking for .. just take lisa off the list [08:48] compdoc: hmm ok? :), i added some ipv6 config (static) and its not parsing it [08:48] wp, with network-manager, things might act differntly. I dont use it myself [08:48] im not using X [08:49] when refering to a version by name and not number [08:49] one of these days, I'll have to learn ipv6. but not today [08:50] :) [08:50] wp, if you open the files in /etc/init.d, you can see what commands they support. not all support 'restart' [08:50] weyer: yes, it's possible, but a whole lot more complicated. [08:51] any hints on where to look? if I look for anything 'flash' related I end up on well, flash-related items :-) [08:51] yeah, i've seen some of them. thing is how i know why ipv6 is not working? iḿ 100% sure the config is ok [08:51] weyer: you could send an escape sequence to set the background color to white, followed by an escape sequence to clear the screen, then set the color to black and clear the screen again. [08:51] also when is sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop, i expect my ssh session to drop, which doesnt happen :) [08:51] i have problem with my facebook [08:52] can you tell me how to fix it [08:52] wp, you would think so [08:52] pece [08:52] compdoc: thats why its probably not applying a single thing :) [08:52] Hello, how may I getting back to older flash player version since this new version won't cache any video in /tmp ..

I want to use one interface (wired) for LAN and the other for internet access. How can I do that? [08:56] Ive never seen dns-nameservers added there, but I guess it works [08:56] its part of resolvconf [08:56] Hello, how may I getting back to older flash player version since this new version won't cache any video in /tmp .. [08:56] looks ok - but I cant speak for the pv6 section [08:56] i [08:56] that part is ok too :) [08:57] but the fact is can stop networking, and still ssh into that box is odd [08:57] :) [08:57] for sure [08:57] you sure its actually working if its stopped? maybe ssh isnt reacting [08:58] compdoc: yep 100% sure [08:58] its actually stopped right now, and im still on irc :) [08:58] penguin359: thanks! [08:59] you sure you are on irc? ;) [08:59] ack! :P [08:59] heh [08:59] i'll reboot it, maybe that helps.. brb [08:59] just one nic?

[09:00] weyer: here's a starter: it sets background color to white, clears the screen, waits one second, resets display color and clears the screen [09:00] echo -ne '\e[47m\e[2J'; sleep 1; echo -ne '\e[m\e[2J' [09:00] \e = [09:01] http://bluesock.org/~willg/dev/ansi.html [09:01] And many more pages on the Internet listing various ANSI Escape and Control Sequences [09:02] maybe ifdown worked [09:03] which software should i install? ubuntu desktop? [09:03] where is the path for .mozilla/firefox/userprofile/cache [09:04] Yusuke: ~ ($HOME) [09:04] which one is the most stable, kubuntu, ubuntu kde, ubuntu desktop? [09:04] ubuntu desktop if you want a desktop [09:04] k, thanks [09:05] hmm that was odd, it was searching for network configuration, timed out booted ok and now its applied [09:05] :) [09:05] did you try what llutz_ suggected? [09:06] wp: tried "sudo ifdown -a && sudo ifup -a"? [09:06] suggested [09:06] havent tried that [09:06] llutz_ : can't find .mozilla in there, i watch a video in firefox and want to see the cache [09:07] Yusuke: its (as the name shows) a hidden dir [09:07] oh [09:08] forgot a dot infront will hide a folder [09:08] how may i view it [09:08] Yusuke: nautilus ctrl-h iirc to make it visible [09:08] ok [09:08] compdoc: networking status output, still shows stopped/waiting :) [09:08] shows that on one of my servers too [09:09] weyer: here's a more complete example that restores the screen on exit. [09:09] echo -ne '\e[?1049h\e[?25l\e[47m\e[2J'; sleep 1; echo -ne '\e[m\e[2J\e[?25h\e[?1049l' [09:10] compdoc: odd eh? :) [09:10] looks promising. and would it be able to send that to the X-server itself, for a full screen 'blink'?

[12:17] pfifo: lightDM runs without a user [12:17] bazhang: yes i have i actually still have it open but the sudo /media/ blah blah/ install part does not work for me for me it should be sudo mlfolder/install [12:17] dr_willis: Where is that file? [12:17] but it doesnt work [12:17] ManDay: your users home dir normally [12:17] dr_willis: I did not use anything before. I just set that system up from scratch [12:17] dr_willis: In what users home dir?! [12:17] ManDay: 'from scratch' meaning what exactly? [12:17] dr_willis: What you and pfifo say doesn't make much sense [12:18] Why would lightDM fail just because a single user has no .xsession [12:18] ManDay: you need to give more details.. we are assuming you did a normal install. [12:18] I'm on a win 7 machine, with a raid 0 setup. First i tried the "dualinstall option" but when i restarted the computer, i cant find any disk to root. Then i tried to install ubuntu on a seperate partition, but when i come to the step where i need to choose wich harddrive to install it on, i got zero options. [12:18] ManDay: if it was auto logging in.. for one reason [12:18] how can i run and installer as a root user? even though i am the only user [12:18] dr_willis: This is how I got to where I am: debootstrap ; apt-get install xfce4 lightdm casper linux-generic [12:19] !sudo | ubu_noob [12:19] ubu_noob: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [12:19] dr_willis: So let's rule this out. Where is configured whether lightDM autologins? [12:19] ManDay: using debootstrap - eww. :) I would guess that somthing lightdm is wanting is not installed yet. No idea what. [12:19] Ubu_noob: Basically, run anything with sudo and you have permissions of God. [12:19] dr_willis: Well, I can't really know: I just relied on apt to resolve the deps [12:19] ManDay: you could go to the console, and try a 'startx' to verify that X is working after stoping lightdm. [12:19] ya but the installer is a gui [12:19] dr_willis: xfce works fine [12:20] (if I start it directly) [12:20] Ubu_noob: gksudo theinstaller [12:20] ManDay: now abouit if you just start 'sudo lightdm' from the console. and look for error mesages [12:20] dr_willis: i do that and the terminal is doings something but the installer never pops up [12:20] dr_willis: no errors [12:20] Snorrre: keep it in the channel please. [12:21] dr_willis: The log of lightdm just says it starts and stops constantly [12:21] i need change resolution , please [12:21] dr_willis: i'll paste you the log, one second please [12:21] my standard resolution is 1366x768 but system luck in 1024x768 ! [12:21] how can fix this ? [12:22] mah454: What graphics card do you have? [12:22] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/522042/ <--- dr_willis pfifo [12:22] you see it just goes ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF [12:23] (and that's what it looks like, it just flickers ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF) [12:23] in the split seconds in is ON I can see a black background and a mousepointer. as if X had been started without any WM [12:24] jutnux, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [12:24] jutnux, i installed mesa library and utils ! [12:25] mah454: Have you looked in your display settings? [12:25] Ok ran additional drivers but doesn't see the card. The CD it came with has linux drivers on in but, no idea how to install them. Doesn't seem to newbiefied instructions with it. lol Anyway in the directory for linux it has several scripts. autoconf_rtl8192c_usb_linux.h, clean, ifcfg-wlan0, Makefile, runwpa, wlan0dhcp, wpa1.conf. There are also four other directories named core, hal, include, and os dep. And sorry guys not sure what lsu [12:25] dr_willis: I just need Ubuntu to run on this computer, alongeside windows. Just need to get ubuntu to work, so i can run a linux only program to unbrick my androidphone. Got any pointers on what i should do? [12:26] tgambit65, run the command lsusb from the terminal and paste.ubuntu.com with the output (giving us the url) [12:26] tgambit65, with the computer powered up and the card inserted, of course [12:27] ok will do [12:27] Does anyone know why the gnome-network-manager nm-applet is themed differently than my XFCE4 windows?! It seems to just use Raleigh while the rest of the system repects the current theme! [12:28] Snorrre: if you just need to run ubuntu for a short time for a single app. you could just use the live cd [12:29] dr_willis: Is that the same as running ubuntu, from a flash drive? [12:29] ManDay: they may be using gtk3 and xfce is still using gtk2 [12:29] Snorrre: yes. [12:29] Snorrre: you an do a live install, or a ful linstall to a flash drive [12:30] dr_willis: I got that option after creating a boot able usb stick, with ubuntu on it. And sence it couldnt find any disks I quit, and i got throwned into the Live CD part. That sould be the same right? [12:30] Snorrre: thats the live desktop. yes. [12:30] Snorrre: you can run stuff and isntall there to your ram, or a persistant save file on the flash [12:31] Hi, I'm trying to install Wubi, but for some reason Windows keeps giving me the error "pyl467.tmp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorrt for the inconvenience". Is there a way to fix this? [12:31] ManDay, looks likethe problem is here, DEBUG: Launching process 4384: /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session '/usr/sbin/unity-greeter' [12:31] jutnux, yes i look . but i can not change more then 1024x768 ! [12:31] ManDay, does /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-greeter-session exist? if so pastebin [12:31] dr_willis: Ah cool. But i recon i need to install alot of drivers, for the system to connect to my phone. Would that work with the live desktop? [12:32] Snorrre: no idea what 'drivers' you would install for the phone. For my phones/rooting i just needed the adb/android sdk. i think. [12:32] i rooted all my phones via 'super one click' on windows [12:32] can I get some help? [12:33] dr_willis: That should be enough i tihnk. Its a Nexus S. But i got a smal problem with the live desktop. I manage to connect to my wifi, but for some reason the live desktop cant connect to the internet. [12:33] AR-Brad: check the forums for that exact error message? I dont use wubi. [12:33] dr_willis: The problem is that the phone is now bricked, and i need to run an unbrick application in ubuntu, to acc3ess the fastboot :) [12:33] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/522046/ > pfifo [12:33] dr_willis, alright. I'll look around. thanks. [12:34] <_gm> Snorrre: you dont need any special drivers on ubuntu; android ask is more than enough. [12:34] pfifo: Yeah looks like it want's unity-greeter then! [12:34] Ok pasted the output [12:34] ManDay, does /usr/sbin/unity-greeter exist? [12:34] it does [12:35] ManDay, is it a shell script? [12:35] Nope [12:35] Then i tihnk i can manage to get it working. But the problem now is that i cant access internet on the live desktop, even tough it is connected to the network [12:35] But I don't have unity... [12:35] I guess lightDM requires Unity, after all... urgh [12:36] ManDay, try replacing /usr/sbin/unity-greeter with a link to startxfce4 [12:37] bazhang did you see last message? Pasted output of lsusb to pastebin. Thanks for help man. [12:38] Sorry took so long had to hook laptop to internet first via cat 5 [12:41] ManDay: seems there may be other 'greeters' in /usr/share/xgreeters/ [12:41] ManDay, there seems to be a few different greeters https://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter [12:41] from what i can tell unity-greeter just does the position of the login/gear buttons.. i think [12:42] dr_willis: Do you know what could be the problem, with the internet access? All other devices connects, but the live desktop connects aswell, but not even firefox works. [12:42] Snorrre: check by pinging your dns servers, and router/gateway [12:42] i know this is Ubuntu channel but does anyone know what file to edit in OSX 8.8.2 to add my Ubuntu headless server NFS share so that when i fire up OSX the NFS is auto mounted. The /etc/fstab.hd file isn' [12:42] 't used by OSX 8.8.2 [12:43] new2linx: there are OSX channels on freenode [12:43] hi...how can i make desktop video in order to share on youtube..? [12:43] asif: 'recordmydesktop' in the repos. and the gui to it. [12:43] dr_willis: Thats a bit to advanced for me. Ive heard about DNS servers, but got no idea what it is. It tried to ping a webside in the terminal, but using the command "ping www.cnn.com" [12:43] !recordmydesktop | asif [12:43] Ok I am stupid I see now needed to give you URL. paste.ubuntu.com/773244/ [12:43] Snorrre: and does it reply? [12:43] asif: recordmydesktop, ffmpeg, there are lots of them! [12:44] dr_willis, yeap, and i've been in em for over a week. LOL nothing, just throwing out feelers. [12:44] dr_willis: Nope. It times out. And i checked again if its connect on the wifi, and it is. [12:44] Snorrre: try pinging (74.125.225.80) [12:44] jutnux: which one is easier..? [12:44] asif: RecordMyDesktop with a GUI. [12:44] Snorrre: try pinging the ip of your router, or other mahcines on the lan. [12:44] dr_willis, not beig arogant but I am not a beginner. i've been around the block for 5 years now. [12:44] jutnux: ok thank you [12:45] dr_willis: ok, ill try to ping the ip you just adressed, and i will try to ping everything else on the network. I'll try it now. [12:45] dr_willis, yes i've googled it, yes i've been in OSX irc, yes I have tweeted macrumors, yes I have searched macrumors, etc etc. LOL [12:45] new2linx: i doubt if theres going to be many answers in here on OSX - you may have better luck in the BSD channels [12:45] Hello, I have a driver problem with my wireless card. I've installed the recommended driver, but my card is still unrecognized by ifconfig [12:46] dr_willis, ok, good tip. thank you. i always at least ask only because i never know when there's someone out there like me who runs all 3 major OS's on their network [12:46] * dr_willis finally tossed out his OS-X box :) [12:47] pfifo: What is the point? [12:47] dr_willis, this is an apple tv version 1 running OS 8.8.2 for XBMC [12:47] dr_willis: pfifo : *IS* it trying to autologin or not? [12:47] dr_willis, with the crystal HD chip for my 1080p streaming pleasure. :-) [12:47] Isn't the "greeter" the login screen? [12:47] Why would I replace the login screen with xfce?! [12:48] ManDay, I do not know, im on 10.04 and it dosent use lightdm, im not sure how it works... yet [12:48] ManDay: the greeter is like the 'theme' the login screen is using i belive. [12:48] Does anyone know there the launcher for MATLAB is ? [12:48] dr_willis, ManDay yes, greeter's are a GUI login screen to get you to your default desktop setup [12:49] Ubu_noob: its possiuble it dident make one.. if it did not come as a .deb [12:49] ManDay, are you getting help from someone? I have a moment if not [12:49] ManDay, do an `apt-cache search greeter` and see if you can find a xfce4 greeter [12:49] Ubu_noob: look to see if it installed a .desktop file somewhere. [12:50] Ubu_noob: or just make a launcher/.desktop file for it [12:50] dr_willis: i dont know how to do that, :( [12:50] and i dont see a .desktop folder in the Matlab folder [12:51] Dr_willis: When i try to ping trough the live desktop now, nothing happens [12:51] its a .desktop FILE [12:53] Dr_willis: It just say: Ping (192.168.1.100) 56 (84) bytes of data. And nothing more [12:53] how can i gain access to write to the usr/local/ folders [12:53] I just made some fresh coffee, care for a cup dr_willis? ManDay? [12:54] Ubu_noob - use chmod and chown [12:54] pfifo: sure, thanks ;] [12:54] Snorrre: you did 'ping 192.168.1.100' [12:54] Dr_willis: So it mean it worked? [12:54] can you be more specific wt0vremr [12:54] new2linx: Are you familar with lightdm internals? [12:55] Snorrre: somthing like this..... [12:55] $ ping 192.168.1.1 [12:55] PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. [12:55] 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1.68 ms [12:55] dr_willis: In the mean time I found the solution to the problem how to copy&paste in urxvt. Use the mouse buffer. Highlight in the urxvt window the string in question. Select the target window and target insert position. Shift+Insert will insert the string in question. [12:56] Howdy [12:56] Ubu_noob okay [12:56] dr_willis: Any idea how lightdm determines which argument it will pass to lightdm-greeter-session? [12:56] Mornin' BluesKaj !! [12:56] ManDay: nope. I use a headless ubuntu server 99% of the time these days [12:56] Hey Sidewinder1 [12:56] Ubu_noob chmod 777 /any/directory/you/wany/* [12:56] Dr_willis: But i dont get the confirmation, that the ping was delivered. [12:57] Snorrre: it should time out.. sounds like you got a misconfigured machine. [12:57] Snorrre: thats the ip# of your router? [12:57] Ubu_noob for example sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/* [12:57] Dr_willis: I belive it is 192.169.0.100 [12:57] Ubu_noob: dont do that chmod command...... [12:57] i have ubuntu server 10.04 ,how do i wake-up a system over internet [12:58] how come dr_willis [12:58] Snorrre: ping an ip of a known machine on the lan. [12:58] De_Willis: The machine works fine. Got win7 on it, and no problem at all [12:58] Any idea why Xorg is ignoring my Virtual directives? https://gist.github.com/1490150 <= xrandr claims maxium size for Screen0 to be 1920x1920 :( [12:58] Ubu_noob: it could break things badly.. and theres no point inb doing that to /usr/share/ [12:58] ManDay, do dpkg -L [12:58] Ubu_noob: learn to use 'sudo' and 'gksudo' as needed to access system directories [12:59] ManDay, that will list all the files installed by lightdm, and in that list should be some sessions and conf files [12:59] dr_willis: ok but i tried using gksudo to install MATLAB but it did not start the installer it just paused then did nothing so i cant write to the /usr/local/ that it needs to be in [12:59] dr_Willis: Right now, apart from the machine itself, i only have a asus transformer connected. How can I check the ip it has recived? [13:00] ManDay: in /etc/lightdm/ theres mention of the unity greeter in the config files [13:00] Snorrre: ifconfig command or ipconfig on a windows box. other tools for other os's [13:00] Ubu_noob: its possible theres a deeper bug in the installer. OR you could just install it to your users home dir. [13:01] Ubu_noob: you dont just go around doing chmod 777 to system directories and hope things work. :) [13:01] ya thats what i ended up doing but i wanted to do everything like it is supposed to cause now i dont have a launcher for matlab [13:01] make a launcher for it then Ubu_noob ...

[13:02] Ubu_noob: CaSe Is ImpoRnatnT in LinUx for onething.. [13:02] pfifo: Well, I used LTS for the Live image originally, but since I really don't want much in the image, I think I could aswell try oneiric this time [13:03] Ubu_noob: watch out for spaces in paths/filenames also.

[13:04] pfifo: What about kernels, for instance. The newest I got on lts was a 2er kernel - are the fixes beackported?

[13:08] Hey guys. [13:08] Is Ubuntu a good way to start learning Unix? [13:08] Or BSD [13:08] doritoDan: Depends on what you want to learn. [13:08] doritoDon -> depends on what you want to learn in Unix... [13:08] From the way you make it sound, no. [13:08] doritoDan: BSD is more unix than linux is, but you probably don't need pure unix for what you're thinking of. [13:08] Everything about it. [13:09] doritoDan: Then no. [13:09] Ok. [13:09] It's just that BSD is too high level for me right now. [13:09] Solaris is a good way to start learning Unix [13:09] I don't understand a thing. [13:09] doritoDan: Go with Gentoo or Slackware, something simple. [13:09] Okay. [13:09] doritoDan: problem with ubuntu is that they're trying to hide the unix beneath all the GUI, with BSD you're forced to learn more. [13:09] Simple as in complicated [13:09] I know SwedeMike, but that's why I think it'll be a good first step. [13:09] Like [13:09] You only have so much contact with the BSD interface [13:10] doritoDan: If you are interesting in learning UNIX you should use a UNIX [13:10] I am guessing Ubuntu is a good first step in exploring the deeper workings of *nix? [13:10] Snorrre: does 'ifconfig' even show your problem machine having an ip? shunds like its not even connected to the network. [13:10] Ok. [13:10] SwedeMike, doritoDan: Yeah, try something with a simpler config design, like : FreeBSD, archlinux, ... [13:10] doritoDan: once you learn the basics.. its all easially applied to other *nix systems and variants. [13:10] lets get on topic of ubuntu support please [13:11] I'm already using FreeBSD. [13:11] It's too hard. [13:11] But alright. [13:11] 'learning the basics and FUNdamentals' :) [13:11] I'll try. Thanks. [13:11] doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:11] Dr_willis: what is the ipconfig command in terminal? [13:11] Snorrre: ifconfig [13:12] Dr_Willis: What should it say? Got a wall of text :) [13:12] pfifo: Any idea whether casper will work without a greeter at all? [13:12] doritoDan -> Agreed. I personally learn unix on debian stable + xfce. With Debian stable you can experience a bit without running in too much problem [13:12] * Display manager, that is [13:12] laerne: Alright. THanks. [13:12] Thanks* [13:12] ManDay, I put 'startx' in my /etc/init/tty1.conf [13:13] pfifo: I did something similar on my real computer in initab [13:13] Snorrre: some info about inet addr:192.168.1.112 [13:13] I still don't quite understand why the unity greeter doesnt work though and immediately terminates [13:14] ManDay, but now that I think about it. I know for sure your autologging in casper always does that [13:14] Snorrre: for the device you are interested in. [13:14] pfifo: I think I've read something similar. Casper's scripts log one in, let me see whether I can find it... [13:14] Dr_willis: inet addr: 192.168.0.101, Bcast: 192.268.0.255 [13:14] Snorrre: so see if the other machines can ping that ip. [13:14] ok 2 sec [13:15] ManDay: you're pretty brave to edit inittab... Isn't there a simpler config file to specify your login manager ? [13:15] ManDay, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin [13:15] ManDay: you could just use /etc/rc.local [13:15] Hi all [13:16] is there any opensource proxy in web??

[15:26] doritoDan: yes, software center-edit-sources [15:26] milamber: Ok, right now my question is, what command am I supposed to use to edit my sources.list [15:26] doritoDan: There's an app under Settings/Repository to activate them [15:26] doritoDan: i would say just uncomment the lines, which means remove the # before the sources you want [15:26] ok schnuffle [15:26] How can I access this app [15:26] nine_pt: Guess its a bug then. You can possibly try #intel-gfx and/or file a bug report [15:26] soreau : I can reboot the pc and past the xrand -q output if you think i can be helpful [15:26] milamber: Yes, but the tutorial doesn't even tell me HOW to edit them [15:26] doritoDan: are you running a server or a gui?

Then there's /etc/apt/sources.list.de for all the other repos [15:30] doritoDan: pastebin your sources.list [15:31] doritoDan: Look in software-properties-gtk [15:31] doritoDan: so we can see what exactly is going on [15:31] milamber, GUI wise not good [15:31] You need to give me more specific directions because I don't know how to do any of the things you are asking me to do.

I am looking in the docs for the resolution but, don't see it. So not sure even of the name of the module. [15:55] tgambit65: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:56] I would like to recompile exim4 using exactly the same settings that were used to make the pre-built package available using apt-get. Can some please tell me where to get that makefile? [15:56] Anybody know if there's a way to easily obtain and install VMware Tools from within Ubuntu? Because all I can find on the subject are really cryptic docs. [15:56] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449?comments=all [15:56] tgambit65: okay but after using the script, there should be new module loaded. Check with lsmod before and after installation, the difference will tell you the module name [15:56] Ubuntu bug 886449 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "[USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card" [Undecided,Confirmed] [15:57] ! schnuffle where would I find the file to edit in the root dir? [15:57] tgambit65: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:57] how can i exit gnu bash shell to return to desktop? [15:57] doritoDan: ESXi, Vmware Server or Player? [15:57] VMware Fusion [15:57] for OSX [15:57] doritoDan, try kvm [15:57] kvm? [15:57] jakr_, ctl+alt+F7 or F8 [15:57] you want a virtual machine right? [15:58] If I create .asoundrc in my home directory will alsa see the properties of it? [15:58] doritoDan: Normally there's an option to install the Tools. This mounts an ISO image with the driver. Then you can mount it and install it. [15:58] schnuffle: good idea thanks. [15:58] I don't know where to get this ISO [15:58] I'm really confused. I've been googling for half an hour now [15:58] johnnyzero, asoundrc is part of alsa conf [15:59] or links to it rather [15:59] Ahh BluesKaj the issue is that Alsa won't capture sound using hw but it will capture sound using plughw. [15:59] doritoDan: The ISO is part of Vmware. Isn't there any option in Fusion that says "install Tolls"? [15:59] This is why I think the DE is not seeing the USB Microphone [16:00] No. VMware is such a horrible company. They use indians to provide support, has buggy session handling on their website (and logging in is required to obtain any docs, info or downloads at all) and their documentations are incredibly vague and cryptic with basically no links provided [16:00] when you install a operating system does it just install on the harddrive or does it install on the computer itself like firmware? [16:00] I can't expect to get any help from them whatsoever. [16:00] I mean obviously if Audacity is recording and you can record in alsa VIA the terminal, then alsa does recognize it. Its just skype and pavucontrol which does not see the mic. [16:01] I don't know where to turn to easily be able to install VMware Tools onto Ubuntu [16:01] on 10.4 I could set the key-bindings so I had control of what happened when people pressed key-combinations - how do I do this with 11.10? [16:01] doritoDan: Give me a minute but there're tons of docs [16:01] There's tons of docs, yes, but they're bad. [16:01] And thanks. [16:02] doritoDan: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware-tools-installation-configuration.pdf [16:02] gardenfox, on the hard drive [16:02] gardenfox: just on the harddrive [16:02] ok. thanks [16:02] heyy does unbuntu have a view in which I can see a file hierarchy? [16:02] mantzos [16:02] johnnyzero, check your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and make sure your usb mic-audio is set to a positve value like 1 instead of -2 or some such [16:03] delinquentme, tree [16:03] BluesKaj, ok [16:03] doritoDan: Page 12 explains the ISO thing [16:03] debian_noob, I have "list" "icon" and "compact" [16:03] delinquentme, uhh sorry [16:03] what do you exactly want? [16:03] debian_noob, what version ubuntu are you talking about? [16:03] johnnyzero, options snd-usb-audio index=1 , is worth a try [16:04] delinquentme, ignore it [16:04] i thought about something else [16:04] schnuffle: Thanks. [16:04] Right now i'm trying to figure out how to open PDF [16:04] adobe acrobat pro expired and won't allow me to even read pdf [16:04] s [16:04] why are every company ever so horrible [16:05] doritoDan, should open with the default pdf reader [16:05] is* [16:05] ya i know [16:05] doritoDan: If you think that maybe the problem is the other side :) [16:05] delinquentme, try tree [16:05] youll understand what i meant [16:06] schnuffle: I think companies are mostly horrible at usability and require users to bend to their shitty workflows and processes. [16:06] It's really annoying having to deal with crap like this which should essentially be incredibly easy. [16:06] But oh well. I digress. [16:07] schnuffle: Ok for the name of the module thanks. Can you tell me the location and name of the file I need to edit? And just use a text editor to do it? [16:08] tgambit65: should be /etc/modules.conf [16:08] is there a way to get the size of a package from the repos? [16:08] for example i dont have this application called "tree" and i'd like to use it so long as its not more than a particular size [16:08] schnuffle: Ok thanks will take a look [16:08] BluesKaj, I set the value to one and rebooted. Unfortunately, pavucontrol still doesn't see the device as an input device. [16:09] delinquentme, some KB [16:09] I have a broadcom bcm4313 with the prop. drivers that hangs my system. ive already asked on the forums and no answer. [16:09] doritoDan: the term easy depends on the knowledge of the person involved. I'm with you that in modern times customer satifaction isn't the top prio anymore but shareholder value. But complsining doesn't help only knowledge :) [16:09] johnnyzero, damn pulseaudio , what a pita ...I haven't got much experience with pulseaudio , altho I [16:10] m forced to use it for webaudio content [16:10] Yes BluesKaj I really think it is pulseaudio even though the pulseaudio people blamed alsa. [16:10] If it was alsa, then arecord wouldn't work at all. Also, alsamixer wouldn't see the device. [16:11] schnuffle: Complaining and whining raises awareness of the way companies refuse to update themselves on the value of usability. [16:11] yeah, johnnyzero have you tried living without pulseaudio ? [16:11] IMHO. [16:11] Hello. [16:11] Hmm BluesKaj can you use skype and other programs without it? [16:11] Hey cousin_luigi [16:11] Is there a way to see a notification for new messages in thunderbird? [16:11] doritoDan: Do you see any company representative in here? [16:11] I mean, on the dash? [16:12] hmm [16:12] Well I suppose its worth a try. Maybe there is even a way to set skype up to bypass pulseaudio. [16:13] there could be an addon cousin_luigi [16:13] Because I def think thats what the issue is. Its not alsa. [16:13] hi all [16:13] johnnyzero, I used skype static version without pulseaudio , but since I'm on 12.04 now skype isn't working yet, but that's not really a loss for me. [16:13] i see there is a 'unity launcher integration' cousin_luigi [16:13] delinquentme: you can use the bot: msg ubottu !info [16:14] delinquentme: with a / in front of the msg [16:14] KINGBUNTU. [16:14] johnnyzero, so i guess the short answer is , i don't know :) [16:14] !guidelines [16:14] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [16:14] schneffle: Found the file to edit but, when I open it up in the text editor it won't allow me to change the file. I assume it is a permission thing. How do I need to open it so I am allowed to change it? [16:14] ahh BluesKaj ok. Least now I could go back to the pulseaudio channel and tell them they're wrong. [16:14] heh, good luck [16:15] tgambit65: you need root rights to be able to edit it. Open a term [16:15] hello. i have currently linux on a different partition than windows. i am installing a second hdd in my laptop and will install oneiric on to it. What is the procedure to remove the old linux installation? is it just to remove the partition and then the bootloader realizes there it? [16:15] terminal and enter: gksu gedit /etc/modules.conf.

[16:22] I have a "Shared With Me" folder in my Ubuntu One folder [16:22] !lts | Satin [16:22] Satin: 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) [16:22] What does that even mean?

For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [16:28] cloudgeek: to get help in here you need ask more precise questions. [16:28] mneptok: yep , i need someone give me path , i am vulnerable many fields of computer programming, different approach , uniqueness [16:29] cloudgeek: just install a linux system and then do some tutorials. When you run into problems come back and ask about it [16:30] mneptok: I think he meant 'definitively', as in the absolute perfect way.... [16:32] could someone at least point me towards a log file or something? i dont mean to sound impatient,but i bought a laptop to not need an ethernet cable [16:33] Ok schnuffle [16:33] I've gotten the PDF to open [16:33] seriously, this is a god damn 50 page documentation [16:33] My net is fail :( [16:33] it shouldn't be this hard [16:33] this is crazy [16:33] doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:33] absolutely unreasonable dude. [16:33] dori, what is the issue [16:33] is there any relevant content in here at all [16:33] mrdeb I'm trying to install VMware tools onto Ubuntu [16:33] ok [16:34] but VMware (being the horrible company that they are) don't have any clear-cut information on the matter. [16:34] ok, then do not use it === giovanni is now known as Guest2374 [16:34] I need it. [16:35] Hello [16:35] well, i have not installed it [16:36] doritoDan: Have you read the doc I gave you? [16:36] My drivers won't work without it [16:36] schnuffle: the 50 page pdf? no [16:36] I don't have time to read 50 pages of irrelevant information [16:36] doritoDan: Yes, if you have some knowledge page 12-20 will do it [16:37] Getting a "Connection refused" on `wget localhost" (and `telnet localhost`, for what that's worth). Can't see it in any browsers either. Pings fine by the look of it. === Satin_ is now known as Satin [16:37] Localhost is also defined in etc/hosts/ [16:37] schnuffle: I didn't see any relevant starting on page 12 [16:37] anything* [16:37] Just info on how to update VMware TOols [16:37] Tools* [16:37] Any idea what might have caused it? [16:37] Better yet, how to fix it. :P [16:37] Pessimism: firewall enabled? [16:37] Ubuntu desktop 11.10. Does it have "ReadyBoost"... Using flash drives as memory replacement? [16:38] yeats: nothing in Ubuntu, unless it's default. My router shouldn't have anything set up, but I can double check. [16:38] Does the panel of gnome 3 hide just like unity ? [16:38] doritoDan: Page 12 tells you that Fusion will download the newest ISO image for you. Then page 13: Virtual Machine > Install (or Upgrade) VMware Tools [16:38] No it, doesen't [16:38] Pessimism: well 'localhost' wouldn't go through your router [16:39] true [16:39] bobalazs: Q: why...? A: what you are asking about isn't as simple a question as it seems. [16:39] schnuffle: Well, I managed to find out myself how to do it. [16:39] And honestly I can't believe there weren't any information on it. [16:40] Pessimism: what does 'nmap localhost' tell you? [16:40] Also I read page 12 and didn't see anything relevant dude. [16:40] clear === flack is now known as flack-Z [16:40] By the way, is there any way to add new links to the sidebar in Ubuntu? [16:40] Is gnome 3 better than unity ? [16:41] yes dori, drag to it [16:41] doritoDan: you can right click on an icon and choose "Add to Launcher" [16:41] !better | jita [16:41] jita: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [16:41] no jita, they are similar tablet like guis [16:41] doritoDan: I start getting angry. I don't run Fusion and got the relevant info in less then 2 minutes. So? Where'S the problem? [16:41] yeats: http://pastebin.com/VxK1XuHR [16:41] Does ubuntu desktop 11.10 have ReadyBoost? (Using flash drives as memory extensions?) [16:41] yeats and mrdeb: I'm trying to do it with a folder. It's not working. :/ [16:42] it has to be app not folder [16:42] doritoDan: oh - well that wouldn't work [16:42] is anyone familiar with archioffice and does anyone know of a equivalent for linux? [16:42] johnnyzero, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/alsa-config-for-usb-microphone-848272/ , I found this, hope it helps. [16:42] doritoDan: you can set up a custom launcher with the Main Menu (alacarte) program [16:42] schnuffle: I've googled it for over half an hour, and all I could find on the subject were vapid and vague tutorials on how to do shit like compiling and hten installing vmware tools (without mentioning where to actually GET THEM) [16:42] from within Ubuntu. [16:43] VMware's website didn't have any clear-cut information in the subject either. [16:43] doritoDan: i have fought with vmware before - it's frustrating. try not to take it out on anyone here. and try to keep the ranting to a minimum. [16:43] xangua: The one installed by default? [16:43] All of these docs are just too long and too vague [16:43] these organizations just don't know a thing about usability [16:43] they are horrible at it. [16:43] doritoDan: So the problem is your google foo not that the information is missing. [16:43] cousin_luigi: i don't follow [16:43] doritoDan: please mind your language and also take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1728423 for how to add a launcher to unity [16:43] doritoDan: can you stop the offtopic please¿ [16:43] doritoDan: then do it better and become billionar [16:43] schnuffle: No, the problem horrible docs. [16:43] Pessimism: well that shows that localhost is a known host, but that port 80 (apache default) is not open [16:43] pangolin OK. [16:43] Thanks. [16:44] hmm [16:44] Pessimism: have you verified that apache is running? [16:44] BluesKaj, thanks. Pulseaudio people are trying to help me. [16:44] yeats: Nope. It probably isn't. [16:44] (assuming you're running apache ;-) ) [16:44] Pessimism: 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start' [16:45] They say "Oh we have USB Mics in Ubuntu and they work fine in pulseaudio" Yet I tried to explain to them that other people have had the same bug as I do. [16:45] doritoDan, ive installed vmware tools just by booting the vm and it asked me to install them. [16:45] Greetings, sentient life forms. I am experiencing an issue adding an undetected resolution to my monitor via xrandr command, as specified here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions [16:45] So now they are running me through some commands [16:45] paulsomebody, What's the problem? [16:46] cypher-neo: xrandr gives me the error. [16:46] or going through the machine's menu and clicking install vmware tools. it will say it has to mount a disk image but it was built in (for me anywat === TheDreamer is now known as Iruoy [16:46] anyway [16:46] paulsomebody, What error? [16:46] yeats: I am just trying to set up a basic local development server with postgresql for Django. I get a "Command not found" when I type it into the terminal [16:46] cypher-neo: I'll give you a link to it in a moment.

[16:47] Pessimism: is the django server running? [16:48] d'oh! [16:48] Someone hit me with a snowball [16:48] Pessimism: To start the devel server, go into your django root directory and then call: python manage.py runserver [16:48] sorry, yeats. :) Thanks, though [16:48] * yeats hurls a snowball at Pessimism [16:48] Deserved that [16:49] Pessimism: meh - asking the question never hurts ;-) [16:50] cypher-neo: So, what do you think? [16:50] paulsomebody, Hmm, I think it looks like xrandr didn't detect the refresh rate for that display [16:50] paulsomebody, Working on it... one moment [16:51] cypher-neo: I can what caused the issue, if it perhaps may help. [16:51] paulsomebody, Yeah, that would help [16:53] Ok it worked. Thank you so much fo the help. [16:53] cypher-neo: My monitor reports its native resolution incorrectly due to the sloppines of tech guys that repaired my LCD some time ago, so I had to add the desired resolution manually via the utility that is enclosed with the Nvidia driver. [16:54] When I use the function keys on my laptop to change the screen brightness, it behaves erratically, sometimes getting brighter, sometimes darker. Is there any way I can debug it? [16:54] It's a dell latitude d620 [16:54] cypher-neo: Resolution is okay now, but it gives an unpleasant error and theme is quite messed up after startup. [16:54] paulsomebody, That could be tricky then... [16:54] cypher-neo: I'll give a screenshot. [16:54] paulsomebody, Okay [16:55] cypher-neo: Basically, my whole system looks like this. http://minus.com/mbdravZDhe#1 [16:55] Ah, fantastic! With VMware Tools installed, Ubuntu finally found my drivers. Cheers! [16:55] cypher-neo: And I cannot revert back. [16:56] Oh wait, it didn't. [16:56] It still thinks my monitor is "Unknown" :-( [16:56] doritoDan: it will still work [16:57] I don't like it [16:57] cypher-neo: So, by that message I understand that the resolution, which I have written in the xorg.conf via the Nvidia utility now functions correctly, but the video mode for monitor is still absent.

IS there anything else I can use? Not Amarok either, thought it was pretty buggy... [18:41] raven: use x11vnc [18:41] procrast: Banshee? [18:41] CarlFK: but i think the correct way should be to use sysctl [18:42] I'll look Banshee up. Reddit.com/r/Ubuntu seems to be a big fan of Clementine [18:42] procrast, try audacious [18:42] Haven't heard of that one before [18:42] procrast: I personally believe that Banshee is the best media application in my experience. [18:42] schnuffle: um.. what's sysctl? [18:42] works like winamp and can even use winamp skins [18:42] CarlFK: sysctl - configure kernel parameters at runtime [18:42] tightwork, how to configure it then? [18:42] and does not have any major bugs, as far as i know [18:42] jost: procrast: Clementine is Qt.

[18:53] cousin_luigi: Yes. [18:53] cousin_luigi: Give me a second. [18:54] cousin_luigi: Wait, is it not integrated into the Messaging Menu by default? [18:55] grub installation from minimal installer always fails when I try to install from USB stick (loaded ISO with grub2) [18:55] looks like it is trying to install grub on my usb stick instead of my HD [18:55] paulsomebody: i am trying to register on askubuntu.com...this is not possible...is there any trick? [18:55] butti: No trick. [18:55] paulsomebody: I'm not sure what that is. I'm looking for something that will pop up a notification of sort without explicit intervention on my part. [18:55] I'd like to chat briefly with someone about installing out-of-repo software on Ubu. Also a bout compiling software from a repo-based source. [18:55] (you know, Sun Java?) [18:55] So, #1, if I go and get Java from Oracle website, how do I install? I would do it as sudo, but are there any security problems with this? [18:56] paulsomebody: the firetray extension stopped working on unity [18:56] paulsomebody: okay...so i cant post a bug [18:56] I mean, in general, if I get a library from somewhere, what's th ebest way to install it? [18:56] butti: There is a «log in» button in the upper right corner. You press it, there is a «sigh up». [18:57] cousin_luigi: There is no longer a tray in Unity. [18:57] paulsomebody: yes i see that. thank you. They say me always that the email is no valid [18:57] wabash, sudo apt-get install java [18:57] paulsomebody: I guess that's the reason:/ [18:57] wabash, iirc actually there are many different java packages [18:57] paulsomebody: Were you saying there's an alternative? [18:57] nb-ben: Sure. What about other libs? [18:57] cousin_luigi: If you want a notification about emails, you would want messaging menu integration. [18:57] try sudo apt-cache search java [18:58] wabash, it's pretty complete with installation [18:58] paulsomebody: How could I set up that? [18:58] cousin_luigi: But it is already there by default. [18:58] nb-ben: Say, what if I install some 3d modelling SW from some company's demo version. [18:58] wabash, well, google for the way to install it lol [18:58] nb-ben: or what if I get some other lib from an OS source website or say, get from github? [18:58] normally it concludes to ./configure ;make ;make install [18:58] paulsomebody: oh, does it mean something will pop up when a new message arrives? [18:59] paulsomebody: isn't there a way to also show the number of unread messages somewhere? [18:59] nb-ben: Sure. but what if it's a jar, for example, and I've downloaded the jar. [18:59] I mean, are there ubuntu conventions for where to install it? [18:59] then put the .jar file in your project directory [18:59] and specify to use that jar with -cp argument [18:59] hello guys, I just got a new T400 lenovo, and it seems it has the new chipset AES2810 for finger print, anybody knows if the fprint supports this chip recently? [18:59] cousin_luigi: Yes. https://static-ssl-cdn.addons.mozilla.net/img/uploads/previews/full/54/54609.png?modified=1299090242 [18:59] much like you would do with Windows [18:59] nb-ben: That's not really a system-wide install, is it? [19:00] you don't install jar files in a system-wide manner [19:00] paulsomebody: I see. No way of having the same thing on the dash icon? [19:00] you could add it to your java libraries directory probably but that's still a broken way of doing things imo [19:00] nb-ben: Really??? What about /usr/share/java? All of that is system wide. [19:00] paulsomebody: I mean, like liferea does. [19:00] cousin_luigi: Take a look at the omgubuntu.co.uk, I bet these geeks have made something up. [19:00] paulsomebody: it's good enough anyway, thanks for the hint [19:01] paulsomebody: I will [19:01] wabash, ask in ##java [19:01] nb-ben: about ubuntu??? [19:01] recall, this is an ubuntu installation question. [19:01] about java jar "plugins" [19:01] How is a library a plugin? [19:01] this is how ubuntu sees jar files, as plugins to java [19:02] One of the canonical apt servers in the us-east amazon region is giving permission denied under /ubuntu. Anyone know who can fix the web server, or fix the dns? [19:02] cousin_luigi: It is already here. [19:02] java is something that is installed on ubuntu, and jar files are things installed to your java [19:02] cousin_luigi: http://mozillalabs.com/messaging/2011/03/14/more-ubuntu-unity-integration-for-thunderbird/ [19:02] hello could somebody help me set up an hourly rsync connection to transfer a file [19:02] Without Youuuu [19:02] nb-ben: Hm.. interesting. [19:02] 10.210.205.172 gives this: [19:02] tittn: do you want to do it with a cron job? [19:02] spacey: Maybe it's been SOPA'd.

[19:04] tittn: have you already sorted out the command line to do the job manually? [19:04] wabash, make;make install [19:04] almoste [19:04] i read the rsync man just cant find how to repeat it [19:04] some times there are packages that need be configured [19:04] see http://paste.ubuntu.com/773635/ [19:04] that is done by a script of some sort normally [19:04] usually, ./configure [19:04] tittn: you don't. You use cron to do that [19:05] so i need to read into cron ? [19:05] Hi. My keyboard layout is being reset every time I log in [19:05] What's the right way to blacklist a broken server? THe permission denied from http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ is causing install scripts to break [19:05] tittn: yes, but it's very easy [19:05] ok thx man will look into that [19:06] tittn: there's Corntab a visual crontab editor [19:06] spacey, you can specify the server to download from apt configuration [19:06] yeh my webserver doesnt have gui [19:06] i can't recall, hold on -- ill tell you exactly which file to edit [19:06] tittn: http://www.corntab.com/pages/crontab-gui [19:06] tittn: it's just to help you create the crontab file [19:06] spacey, edit /etc/apt/sources.list [19:06] nb-ben I can edit the sources.list, but that's not exactly the issue [19:07] hmm I see [19:07] the issue is that that name resolves to 4 IP addresses. 1 of those addresses is bad, 3 are OK. [19:07] nb-ben: Ok, but I mean, If install src pkgs., where do they end up? Will I have to un-tar first into a temp directory? [19:07] bbl [19:07] I'd like to prevent apt from using the bad IP address if possible [19:07] alright so basicly i need to make such a file with command in it [19:08] Hello, again. [19:08] tittn: the most important thing to know about is that you cannot assume that the environement is the same as the one you have executing it manually [19:08] I guess I could go by IP address by mangling /etc/hosts, but that's a really iffy solution [19:08] Hey guys =) [19:08] tittn: yes [19:08] wabash, make will compile them to a subdirectory of your working directory and make install will copy those files to their location in the system [19:08] libraries to /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib [19:08] My touchpad doesn't seem to be working... I have a usb mouse attached. [19:08] I forgot to ask a question: is it possible to manually edit the icons present on the launcher? [19:08] More importantly, is there a good way to get someone on ops at canonical to take the bad server out of the DNS rotation? [19:08] nb-ben: ok. Will they be tarred though? [19:08] bin files to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [19:08] alright think i can manage thx for your help ! [19:08] no, why will it be tarred [19:08] tittn: your welcom === _Io__ is now known as _Io_ [19:09] nb-ben: You mean source is installed as a tree? [19:09] Hello people! Anyone know how to fix real fullscreen when you go fullscreen in a youtube clip? If the quality is not 1080p the videoscreen gets scaled down. [19:09] Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend me a browser that has support for SOCKS proxies, besides Fu [19:09] Firefox [19:09] how do you install a source as a tree? [19:09] does anyone know of a good program to join movie files that come in two or more parts? [19:09] anybody know anything about writing custom bash scripts? === jay is now known as Guest39223 [19:09] it's like drinking coffee as butter [19:10] nb-ben: What I'm asking is this: When I use the package manager t oget a source package, it gets it and installs it. So when it installs the files, what are they? Tar files? Or are they just a bunch of source files in the form of a source tree? [19:10] Guest39223: many people do :) [19:10] wabash, if you are using the apt package manager to just install a program, you get no sources at all [19:11] wabash: if you ask for the source it just downloads it into the current directory [19:11] you only get the compiled binaries [19:11] also, why would source as a tree be a conceptual problem for anyone? All sources are in source trees.... [19:11] nb-ben: wrong you can grab the sources with apt-get source [19:11] nb-ben: The apt pkg manager has access to source versions of some things, correct? [19:11] yes, but apt-get source doesn't install it schnuffle [19:11] There are source packages listed in the repository. [19:11] yes [19:11] Anyone...? [19:12] What happens when I install one of these packages? Where does it appear on my system? [19:12] those get the sources and put them in /usr/src iirc [19:12] I see. [19:12] wabash: the package is downloaded to the actual directory and is mostly a tar archive [19:12] nb-ben: In the form of a tar ball??? [19:12] http://pastebin.com/A6WcVSfF [19:12] Kayron: doesn't Firefox support that? [19:12] should I install skype from canonical partner or should I install it directly from skype.com? [19:12] wabash, yes, I think so [19:12] nb-ben: wrong again it downloads it to the actual dir [19:12] wabash, give it a test [19:12] nb-ben: Ok, thank you. [19:12] I'm trying to make a bash script based upon the contents of a text file [19:12] abstrakt: There is no difference, as far as I know. [19:13] abstrakt: The last update was ages ago, but if you install it from the repository, you will get update in case they ever arrive. :) [19:13] Guest39223: elaborate ..... [19:13] like, if a text file says this, do this, otherwise, do that [19:13] hard to understand the vague sentences lol [19:14] http://pastebin.com/A6WcVSfF [19:14] what does "actual dir" mean schnuffle [19:14] I'd like some help configuring Ubuntu for my external LCD. I have a Toshiba Satellite A205(15.4" WXVGA), Ubuntu 11.10, with a KOGi 17"-19" LCD Flat Screen. [19:14] nb-ben: actual dir = actual directory [19:14] Hello people! Anyone know how to fix real fullscreen when you go fullscreen in a youtube clip? If the quality is not 1080p the videoscreen gets scaled down. [19:14] every directory to me is an actual directory [19:15] Ubuntu currently allows only up to 1024x768, however this LCD has proven it can do 1280x1024.

[19:36] escott: not running ubuntu by choice, wouldn't run debian by choice either :D oh well [19:36] I'm having trouble installing it. Everytime i try to boot and finish the installation, it says that the install file is missing, and asks me to do a chkdisk /r in windows [19:36] haltemien, I'm familiar with wubi somewhat ask your questions. [19:36] hi, i dont have a GUI in ubuntu [19:36] haltemien: Well, have you done it? [19:36] Ofc :P [19:36] haltemien, have you run a chkdsk? === Exio is now known as Exio|Away [19:37] boot goes fine, and when booting in text mode, last line says initctl failed [19:37] lemur, thats not much use then is it [19:37] pist0l-fish: Ubuntu is not a rolling release distribution. [19:37] Yeah, ive done it. But i still get the same error [19:37] pist0l-fish: You can try adding some PPA repositories, but that is not going to rectify differences in the developers' philosophies, so I personally think you are better switching back to Arch. :) [19:38] haltemien, are you putting the wubi in a partition other then C? [19:38] Gentoo64: i have no acces to the login screen, just to the terminal when booting in recovery mode [19:38] paulsomebody: yeah i agree :( i just have no other choice at the moment [19:38] urlin2u: No. Ive placed the install iso and the wubi in the same folder. Should I create a new partison and try from there? [19:39] haltemien, no really it complicates things. What chkdsk did you run /f or /r [19:40] urlin2u: /r [19:40] haltemien, have you defragged as well and how full is the hard drive? [19:41] Evning folks, I have an issue with (r)syslog(d) where it doesn't log anything. I've tried dpkg-reconfigure --force rsyslogd and too look into the conf-files without finding anything suspect. What would you guys do to take the next step in the troubleshooting? I thought of purging the ...

Got 932gb used space on the raid0 drives [19:41] haltemien, not sure if raid0 wubi is bootable [19:41] urlin2u: UNUSED, not used :) [19:42] haltemien, I'm not really familiar with raid so thats about it for me.

Sl 18:33 0:00 rsyslogd -c5 [19:42] urlin2u: So you suggest to deraid the discs? I would need to format my harddrives for tht? [19:42] haltemien, no but escott has a good suggestion. [19:43] schnuffle: tried to restart it, rebooted, start the daemon with just sudo rsyslogd -c5 [19:43] how can i manually start the login screen from a tty¿ [19:43] schnuffle: nothing seems to "bite". [19:43] escott: I cant. I need ubuntu for a program, i can use to unbrick my phone, and it doesnt work in virtualbox apperently / [19:43] haltemien, can you not do it from windows? [19:43] haltemien, then boot a liveusb and run the program there === ospite is now known as ospite-attempt [19:44] Where would be a good place to put a bash script? [19:44] Acorn, ~/bin [19:44] escott: rather than /usr/local/bin? [19:44] Cant do it in windows apperently, and i cant get a internet connection on liveusb [19:44] Acorn: who's going to use it? [19:44] BUT [19:44] Acorn, depends on who is going to be using it. [19:44] rooth: me [19:44] IBut what is a standard linux box? [19:45] escott, rooth: this is a single user machine [19:45] Acorn: ~/bin then, /usr/local/bin <-- system wide usage. [19:45] Acorn: i.e. if you want more people than yourself to use it. [19:45] Acorn: But it really doesn't matter, more political. === lemur is now known as SlowBait [19:45] Acorn: I'd put it in ~/bin and add that to your path. [19:46] rooth: did you check /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf? For syslog file the entry should be: *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog [19:46] Escott: Do you know what a "standard linux box" is? Is it an emulator? [19:46] rooth: thanks for the advice, I'm slowly getting a little more familiar with what the different directories are for [19:46] Hey guys, quick and basic quesiton... how do I access grub boot menu? I thought it was Esc. Doesn't seem to be working :P [19:46] rooks, Acorn you dont need to add ~/bin to your path it is included in .bashrc [19:46] Acorn: Makes it easier to backup /home and move it to another machine or something. [19:46] Gaming4JC: What are you trying to do? [19:46] paulsomebody: access grub and reset the password on my old linux box. :P [19:47] rooth: the -c5 option comes from /etc/default/rsyslog [19:47] schnuffle: auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log [19:47] *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog [19:47] Gaming4JC: Is it a password at the GRUB, or in the system, e.g. the on you enter at login? [19:47] Gaming4JC, try shift [19:47] auth.log and kernel.log is also empty. [19:47] hi [19:47] hi [19:47] paulsomebody: just system [19:48] paulsomebody: meaning not at grub menu [19:48] Gaming4JC: Uhmm, I am not sure the GRUB have anything to do with it. [19:48] $ ll /var/log/syslog /var/log/kern.log /var/log/auth.log [19:48] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 2011-06-09 06:47 /var/log/auth.log [19:48] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 2011-06-09 06:47 /var/log/kern.log [19:48] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 0 2011-06-09 06:47 /var/log/syslog [19:48] escott: I don't see that in my .bashrc [19:48] rooth: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:48] rooth: Please use pastebin. [19:48] sry. [19:48] paulsomebody: it does since I can go from grub, to recovery mode, to modifying the root password. :) === Timic_ is now known as Timic [19:48] Acorn, sorry .profile [19:48] urlin2u: thanks I'll try that [19:49] Gaming4JC: I have never done that, sorry. :) [19:49] Gaming4JC: it's right shift [19:49] rooth: have tried to stop rsyslogd; delete syslog file and restart? [19:49] sysinfo says I have Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. I can't find any mention of Nvidia, ATI, etc. [19:49] skegeek, what arer you trying to do [19:50] escott: shouldn't I see it when I echo my $PATH? [19:50] schnuffle: ls: cannot access /var/log/syslog: No such file or directory [19:50] skegeek: It means that you have an integrated video card. [19:50] skegeek: You will have to use xrandr, then. [19:50] schnuffle: After I removed and restarted (sudo service rsyslog stop , and then start) [19:51] REALLY? apparently the ubuntu people decided to ban all applications from using the taskbar for some silly reason, however they decided that some applications like skype must be able to use it still so they created a 'white list' for these applications which says that they may use task bar [19:51] milamber: yes your right, thanks mate :D [19:51] Acorn, if you look at your .profile you will see that it is only added if the directory exists. so you need to create the directory and then open a new login terminal [19:51] skegeek: I think I have already given you the link to the page with instructions, no? This one. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions [19:52] wip: Yes, something like that. It is about backwards compatibility. [19:52] escott: ah, cheers [19:52] Gaming4JC: np [19:52] wip: There is way to integrate Skype though. [19:52] rooth: what tells you lsof | grep rsyslogd [19:52] rooth: and how are permissions of /var/log [19:52] Oh, I know it means my graphics card is integrated into the MB - I was just trying to tell you for sure what I have and that I cannot be sure if it's Nvidia or what. I'm checking with official specifications on my account with Toshiba. [19:52] wip: what do you mean when you say "using" the taskbar? [19:53] paulsomebody: well i am not an hater... but!!!! my voice recognition application cannot work in unity because i cannot see my icon in the taskbar [19:53] escott, rooth: what's the standard practice if you need to install a system-wide program manually then? Would you put the program directory into /usr/local/bin and add that folder to your path? [19:53] wip: It is relatively easy to do. [19:53] wip: Give me a sec. [19:53] Acorn, /usr/local/bin and it is already in the path [19:53] escott, rooth: /usr/local/bin only seem to contain individual files at the moment, so I feel I may be doing something odd [19:53] milamber: icon in taskbar like before... [19:53] wip: and also, what is the question? [19:54] escott: but the path doesn't look recursively does it? [19:54] hi there. Recently I've started having some issues when trying to play movies - no matter the player, system freezes for a while and logs out (kubuntu user here). When reading syslog I noticed some nasty lines telling this: [drm:i915_wait_request] *ERROR* i915_wait_request returns -11 (awaiting 10249 at 10236, next 10250) // [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung. I started a few days ago. [19:54] Acorn, /usr/local should mirror the layout of a / [19:54] Acorn, rather /usr [19:54] Hey folkts [19:54] milamber: in ubuntu /unity many application doesn't show in the taskbar [19:54] Is this a known issue? [19:54] prodigel: people complain a lot about it yes [19:54] anyone know how to install a RAID5 using Ubuntu .. Successfully? [19:54] wip: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/how-to-hide-or-show-app-tray-applets-in-ubuntu-11-04/ [19:55] prodigel: ubuntu decide that only few application can access the taskbar [19:55] abu-bakr, best to have a non-raid /boot partition [19:55] wip: It is not a feature, it is a bug. [19:55] prodigel: i think it's a stupid move [19:55] abu-bakr: softwrae raid5, yes [19:55] paulsomebody: are you sure, then why the "whitelist" [19:55] wip: You misunderstand the usual terminology. [19:55] wip, quit complaining and look at post 2 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861843 [19:55] escott: i've heard that from someone else but I want the powers of Raid 5 on my OS and boot partition [19:56] abu-bakr: as escott told you /boot should be non raid or Raid1 [19:56] so whats the problem with it? [19:56] paulsomebody: http://www.fewt.com/2011/03/whitelist-utility-script-to-allow-apps.html [19:56] I can't even get it to work at the moment [19:56] spent 20 hours on it so far! [19:56] escott: hmm, I don't see any directories in /usr/bin either [19:56] wip: Thing at the left is the taskbar, things are the upper right are indicators. [19:56] wip: They serve different purposes. [19:56] escott: should I be putting the program directory somewhere else and symlinking to it in /usr/local/bin? [19:56] schnuffle: http://paste.ubuntu.com/773691/ [19:57] Acorn, no /usr/ has stuff like bin lib share src and /usr/local should also have bin lib share src etc [19:57] so in other words.. ubuntu software raid is no good [19:57] paulsomebody: right sorry [19:57] wip: You can read about Shuttleworth's design philosophy at his blog, if you are interested. [19:57] i need a hardware card ? [19:57] brb [19:57] Acorn, if you have a big monolithic application like mathematica usually fits better in /opt [19:57] paulsomebody: so when releasing my application to ubuntu people, i have to ask them: whitelist my app to see the icon in the taskbar??? [19:58] wip: No, you should not. [19:58] abu-bakr, why would you think that? [19:58] wip: Icons in the taskbar are the indicators. [19:58] wip, is the taskbar discussion related to my issue? I'm a bit confused... [19:58] rooth: how about checking /var/log/messages. And to make sure your config is correct, can you paste both files in /etc/rsyslog.d? [19:58] paulsomebody: then i can whitelist my app automagically? [19:58] escott: so if it's not monolithic, just stick the directory in /usr/local/bin? and would one then add it to path or put a symlink in the root of /usr/local/bin to /usr/local/bin/myapp/somescript ? [19:59] prodigel: I do not think so. [19:59] paulsomebody: cause now my application doesn't show in the indicator, but it's working well in ubuntu < 11.10 [19:59] Acorn, so if this is a normal program ./configure make make install just set the prefix to /usr/local [19:59] wip: What is your application at the first place, and why does it need an indicator? [20:00] wip: Or you are talking about it not showing up in the TASKBAR? If this is the case, then this is completely unrelated to the indicators are is simply a bug. [20:00] it's a voice recognition application, the indicator is to show when you speak, if the word was recognized, quickly pause it, etc... [20:00] escott: the program doesn't have any form of installation, hence the uncertainty about where I should put it [20:00] paulsomebody: not i am talking about the icon in the indicator [20:00] Acorn, what is the program [20:00] escott: sublime text 2 [20:00] wip: I think you are supposed to make use of the new Indicators system. [20:01] Acorn, never heard of this [20:01] wip: Which does not need any whitelisting. [20:01] paulsomebody: i am using wxwidgets... [20:01] escott: a very nice text editor [20:01] escott: well if ubuntu softraid is no good for running OS parts then its no good for me [20:01] wip: I am afraid I do not have enough experience with this to explain. [20:01] escott: http://www.sublimetext.com/ [20:01] abu-bakr, all we said was you need a non-raid /boot partition [20:02] paulsomebody: so it means that now i need to add an exception to my application for unity... bad decision [20:02] abu-bakr: There's nearly no sytem that can use RAID5 boot partitions [20:02] schnuffle: .... well.. ehm.. ... how about checking /var/log/messages.... sudo logger -p local0.alert 'schnuffel is much smarter than me' ; sudo grep schnuffel /var/log/messages [20:02] I only have a small amount of critical data.. might aswell use ubuntu one for resiliency.. and if the boot part wont be raid5 then there is no speed advantage either [20:02] wip: You are not supposed to. [20:02] schnuffle: 2011-12-17T21:01:24.107311+01:00 mrquick rooth: schnuffel is much smarter than me [20:02] wip: You should make use of the new indicators system. [20:02] wip: That does not need any whitelisting. [20:02] schnuffle: Sorry about that and thank you for helping a newbie like myself... [20:02] Acorn, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/sublime-text-2-ubuntu-ppa.html [20:03] escott: but yeah, it's just a directory with a binary in the root and other library files [20:03] schnuffle: Thought I looked there but apparently not. [20:03] rooth: no problem [20:03] paulsomebody: but i want my application to work (and more important to me) in linux mint that doesn't use a "special" indicator thing [20:03] wip, sometimes you have to adapt to new things you can do it. :D [20:03] paulsomebody: when i type in sudo users-admin the window pops up but stays grayed out and wont let me do anything [20:03] Acorn, so the binary should go in the bin folder and the libraries it links to in lib, but if it was built monolithically you might find that putting it in opt makes more sense [20:03] itaylor57: amazing!! thank you! [20:04] Has anyone ever used Casper with something else than the GNOME/Unity desktop?! [20:04] wip: Then, I am afraid you will have to either maintain two separate indicator system, or ask Ubuntu users to whitelist it. Sorry. [20:04] itaylor57: all that fiddling with desktop files was unnecessary :) [20:04] urlin2u: the thing is, i am using a framework called wxwidgets - i think they gave up on unity (and i do understand why) [20:04] paulsomebody: thanks for all the help [20:04] Acorn, np [20:04] I'm looking to change my display driver in 11.10. the guides I'm finding refer to xorg.conf but it doesnt appear that I have one. could someone point me in the right direction please? [20:04] wip: Sure. [20:04] Hi everybody, I am becoming mad to find a way to play bluray discs on ubuntu, I am new in ubuntu and I don't want dual boot windows again, could help? [20:04] escott schnuffle: thanks. So do I have to have the entire OS structure in the boot part or just grub? [20:05] scott__: Can you give me a link to that thread again [20:05] abu-bakr: just /boot with grub initrd an the kernel [20:05] scott__: I am afraid I cannot find it again myself. [20:05] abu-bakr, a boot partition contains the kernel, initrd and grub modules and configuration [20:06] dvdubuntu: There is a way. [20:06] dvdubuntu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/01/bluray-playback-on-ubuntu/ [20:06] paulsomebody: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1336847&page=2 [20:06] abu-bakr: it's important that the Raid modules are part of the initrd [20:06] i will maybe try to "hack" the whitelist automagically using this script for unity people... http://www.fewt.com/2011/03/whitelist-utility-script-to-allow-apps.html if it's not working, then i will list my voice recognition application as not working for unity [20:06] schnuffle: thanks... since I am not good at code (im a GUI person) what is the simplest way for me to do this? [20:06] dvdubuntu: I don't know if it will work for you, though. [20:06] scott__, don't sudo gui programs. users-admin will call out to policykit to get the privileges. but if you need to use sudo for guis use gksudo [20:06] scott__: Yes, he is right. [20:06] I have been trying to copy my old install over to 3 new raided disks and have tried installing grub to seperate non raid parts === Dmitry|a is now known as Dmitry [20:07] escott: so it read gksudo users-admin then? [20:07] wip, have you been to #wxwidgets [20:07] scott__, try it without sudo first, and if that doesnt work use gksudo [20:07] dvdubuntu: Also, see community documentation. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [20:07] urlin2u: of couse, always there [20:07] escott trying now [20:07] ok paulsomebody, but makemkv I have tried to let him start under wine, noway for me :((( [20:07] abu-bakr: when you install the system jsut don't use the whole partition as Raid device, leave 100-500MB free to create a additional /boot partition. I think it can all be done with the graphic install [20:08] urlin2u: they say that " apparently the ubuntu people decided to ban all applications from using the taskbar for some silly reason, however they decided that some applications like skype must be able to use it still so they created a 'white list' for these applications which says that they may use task bar " [20:08] scott__, were you having trouble with a usb device yesterday? [20:08] taskbar = indicator [20:08] dvdubuntu: I am sorry, but I have no personal experience with the issue. [20:08] So, I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10, and now when I log into the unity desktop I have a dark purple screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around, but it otherwise does nothing... [20:08] dvdubuntu: So, I can only point to the docs. [20:08] escott yes, thatz me. still same issue. i'm getting desperate. i may have to reformat [20:08] abu-bakr: For extra security you can later on copy the /boot partition to all the raid disks. If one fails you can still boot from another disk [20:08] urlin2u: and adding: I try to know as little about unity as possible as the way they are messing devs around makes my blood boil and fortunately I'm not in a position where I have to support it [20:08] wip, unity is one of many desktops, you can install the fallback I believe as well. [20:08] right this is ubuntu england or ubuntu usa? may be I try over there [20:09] scott__, there is something screwy about your policykit install [20:09] urlin2u: i cannot ask the people that download my application to switch the desktop... [20:09] scott__, you might try reinstalling policykit-1 or installing the old version [20:09] schnuffle: thank you for your instructions so far.. I think i will do this.. [20:09] however my current attempts at trying to 'clone' an old partition over to the new raid array looks to have failed.. [20:09] dvdubuntu: Alternatively, you can post at askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org and ask for help there. [20:09] wip, knowing as little about unity eh....hows that working really. :D === Erdogan is now known as PacozlukYapma [20:10] wip: in my opinion unity was a big mistake [20:10] How can I log out of the unity dertp when it is like this? Ctrl+alt+backspace does nothing of course. [20:10] me to me [20:10] ok paul but where are we now? [20:10] When* [20:10] wip: Maybe you can add an fallback indicator? [20:10] paulsomebody: that would be great! [20:10] wip: All and all, I think you should go to the #ubuntu-developers and ask about it there. [20:11] paulsomebody: will try to change my attitude before going there :) [20:11] wip: I am not a developer, or an IT-specialist, so I am afraid I would not be able to help with that. [20:11] wip, really I had not noticed that, this is a support channel not complaints about unity, which is interspersed with your every post, good bye [20:11] escott: i'll try that if this wont work. i'm on this trail now: sudo users-admin, go to Properties > User Privileges and check "Mount user-space filesystems (FUSE)". Log out, log in, try connecting the drive again; it ought to work. [20:11] scott__, if the only manifestation of the issue is with usb mounting you can do it manually [20:11] wip: It is okay, many people are upset with Unity. [20:11] schnuffle: is it possible as a last ditch attempt to recreate the raid array, copy the old partition over and then try and do a fresh install/repair over that to see if it will work... (so far I have been trying 'boot repair' to rebuild grub, it is supposed to work well with raid but it hasn't managed to boot the old OS so far [20:11] dvdubuntu: What do you mean? [20:12] scott__, thing is vfat is not a fuse [20:12] dvdubuntu: We are on IRC. [20:12] paulsomebody: tell me about it.. I reverted back to 11:04 months ago on the standard desktop for all my work machines... [20:12] Yes Irc is England or America, sorry for my low knowledge in this matter [20:12] for work machines.. not really in the adventuring mood!! [20:13] dvdubuntu: Hmm. Just IRC for all English speakers, as far as I am aware. [20:13] abu-bakr, copying from non-raid to raid is a bit of a pain, because you have to update all the uuids and that get confusing with mdadm uuids and partition uuids === Dmitry is now known as Dmitry|a [20:13] plugin for xbmx can solve my problem, do u have it? [20:13] dvdubuntu: the channel includes English speakers from all over the world [20:13] escott: aaaah I C, so that's prob why its never worked then? [20:13] abu-bakr, better options are to convert in place the fs to raid level (probably not possible with a raid5 but ive dont it to raid1) [20:13] ah ok [20:13] escott: this may or may not be related to the issue....i was trying to get rid of unity, and following various tips online to do so. it seemed to work until i turned of machine for the night. when i came back the next day, i couldn't log in. i had the ubuntu splash screen and it just hung up. so i googled that problem, and found ctrl+alt+F1 to log in, followed with startx command. [20:13] more than a bit of pain btw!!

[20:14] I have spent around 20 hours stabbing in the dark! [20:14] was up til 6am last night and I hardly ever do that! [20:14] scott__, and you are still having to startx to get to the gui?

Yes i still must startx [20:15] scott__, i wish you had said that last night. reinstall unity and just don't use it. unless you are short on disk space who cares [20:15] abu-bakr: I personally happen to like it. [20:15] i need to set the IP and DNS manually [20:15] plugin for xbmc to read bluray disks [20:15] abu-bakr: But still, they have not yet smoothed all the rough edges.

I have been loving the flash usb thingmajig.. warning, its addictive.. its like an entire computer you can take with you wherever you go! [20:16] I have an SSH server. Now normally, I open my application and connect to it. it asks for a username, sends me the welcome message, and then my client asks for the password to my client key file. A few days ago, I noticed that now it asks for the password, and then waits about 15-20 seconds, and then send the welcome message, and everything after that is normal. Any ideas where this 15-20 seconds [20:16] is coming from? [20:16] escott: i actually just tried that via terminal "sudo apt-get install unity. and restarted my puter...to no avail [20:16] makara open a CLI window and "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.105 netmask 255.255.255.0" ? the ips must match what your router issues via DHCP and must be an IP not in use [20:16] abu-bakr: I personally think that if you have a network of machines, LTS might be more viable option. [20:16] SinnerNyx: do 'ssh -v' (or -vv or -vvv) to see the debug messages [20:17] abu-bakr: Next LTS would be Precise, so by the time, perhaps they will polish the Unity. :) [20:17] abu-bakr: Well, I move the Ubuntu LiveCD to my flash drive but I was wondering if there was one that was built more for usage on a USB drive rateher than installing from a USB drive.

[20:18] sure makara, so skip configuring it from the GUI and open a command prompt [20:18] thanks, yeats [20:18] What is the UBUNTU equivalent to /etc/inittab ? [20:19] paulsomebody, googling I found that on XBMC there is a special plugin to watch blu rays, do u know where may I get? [20:19] escott: i'm not opposed to re-installing ubuntu, except the files i need to transfer to my flash drive will be lost. unless you know of a way to save them. i have ubuntu 11.04 on a flash drive. I tried sticking it in and putting the flash drive first in Bios, then just let it boot with out install. but i couldn't see the files i needed. But when i stuck in a flash drive it behaved normally [20:19] pzaul: new server create the config on the Fly. YOu can create one By typing Xorr :2 -config [20:19] !inittab | ManDay [20:19] ManDay: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [20:19] dvdubuntu: I can only offer you to google it, or perhaps do it myself. :) [20:19] aj00200: i think its called a persistent live usb.. and thats what is addictive.. its a fully operational OS.. saves all your settings etc.. :D [20:20] dvdubuntu: Here, the very first result. :) http://lifehacker.com/5621471/how-to-enable-blu+ray-playback-in-xbmc [20:20] Thanks, I'll give it a shot === xxxx is now known as Guest84913 [20:20] lunitunez: ok, done. now how to turn it on? [20:20] escott: is there a way to re-install over this install without losing files? like windows does [20:21] right thanks [20:21] yeats "ssh: could not resolve hostname 10.0.2.15:899: Name or service not known [20:21] pzaul: new server create the config on the Fly. YOu can create one By typing Xorg :2 -configure [20:21] escott: thanks for the help so far.. you've given me a few options.. [20:21] How about creating a fresh raid5 array (3 new disks and 1 existing with the existing OS on it), waiting for it to replicate and then pulling the old 4th disk? [20:21] yeats: Thanks, I know that ubuntu uses UPStart - I was looking for an answer to my question though [20:21] I don't want to gain a deeper understanding up upstart. I just need a place to specify a command (autologin as user and startx) somewhere [20:21] SinnerNyx: try 'ssh -v -p899 user@10.0.2.15' [20:21] escott: wait dont answer that.. I have to go... will be back in a short while [20:21] thanks, abu-bakr [20:21] sorry [20:22] scott__, so for the time being you should be able to "sudo mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb" where I am assuming you are uid/gid 1000 [20:22] ManDay: Does installer not offer an option to do it? [20:22] abu-bakr, that should work fine, but do familiarize yourself with working with degraded arrays. they do not mount by default [20:23] type ifconfig and see if the numbers are updated now [20:23] On that config resolution page it says --newmode S-video, however I'm not using S-video connection, should it actually be -S ? [20:23] escott: mount: mount point /media/usb does not exist [20:24] So, when I upgraded to 11.10, when I log into the Unity desktop, is the screen just purple with the mouse I can move, and nothing else, never does anything else? === TheDreamer is now known as Iruoy [20:24] scott__, sudo mkdir /media/usb [20:24] escott: thatz what came back from "sudo mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sdb1 /media/usb" [20:25] Is there smth like emulator linux ? I wanna to put old computer next to TV and use it as console, best would be if it had pad only interface :D ? [20:26] escott: we have some progress! now it appears mounted. going to attempt to move a file to it now === michael is now known as Guest25157 [20:27] escott: i could just kiss you! ha ha ha....in the most masculine and brotherly fashion of course [20:28] scott__, the rest of your polkitd is messed up though. you still want to reinstall because none of your gui admin tools will work [20:28] hello, i have an issue with smb and windows. samba file server is invisible from windows side. but becomes visible when i access the windows computer share from linux box how can i make my linux box visible without each reboot access to windows computer [20:28] escott: so, just sudo apt-get install policykit? [20:29] scott__, i dont know. most likely related to whatever you removed when you tried to uninstall unity [20:30] paulsomebody: what? [20:30] paulsomebody: What installer? [20:30] That's not cool! I added the resolution to settings options, but after switching to it the screen was too wide and I couldn't see left panel or left of top panel. Doesn't make sense because I've used the resolution plenty with both a previous installation as well as with Windows. [20:31] Guest25157, ive noticed that windows doesnt like to look across domaingroups but linux doesnt care so make sure that your domaingroups are correct [20:31] ManDay: The Ubuntu system installer, of course. [20:31] I didn't use that [20:31] I want it real simple, just autologin the user. [20:32] ManDay: you can choose that option from the "User Accounts" dialog [20:32] ManDay: no need for manual scripting [20:33] When I turn fullscreen on a youtube clip, the video does not stretch up for all the pixels in my screen, instead; it gets narrowed down by black/white borders. Is there any fix for this? (I always get black borders unless the quality is 1080p, my native and current resolution is 1920x1080) [20:33] how can I quickly determine if my machine is using USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 ports? [20:33] yeats: I have no such dialog. As I said, I want to script that real simple [20:34] ManDay: what release are you running? [20:34] mattgyver, lsusb? [20:34] escott, I was looking at that I just didnt really see anything that said 1.0 or 2.0 but ill check again in verbose mode [20:34] Question, everyone. Does Ubuntu by default make an account administrative? [20:34] mattgyver: what he said: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub [20:34] hello, i have an issue with smb and windows. samba file server is invisible from windows side. but becomes visible when i access the windows computer share from linux box how can i make my linux box visible without each reboot access to windows computer [20:34] mattgyver, mine says Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub [20:34] yeats: oneiric. I guess I can mondify /etc/init/tty1 for my purpose [20:35] It should be what I was looking for, that is, the equivalent to inittab [20:35] escott, Blue1, oh okay I actually had some 2.0 hubs so I was thinking that was what it was referring to, thank you [20:35] I have just checked, and it appears that my user account is marked 'Administrator' in the User Accounts dialogue. [20:35] ManDay: in the Unity bar, search 'user' and the User Accounts program will open - then unlock it with your password and select Automatic Login "On" [20:35] yeats: Of course, it is not root, but why 'Administrator' over 'Standard'? [20:35] yeats: I dont have unity or anything like this [20:36] ManDay: okay - I'll leave you to it then - good luck [20:36] thanks [20:36] mattgyver, thats the "software" hub, but presumably it means that it is attached to a 2.0 hub [20:36] paulsomebody: eh? [20:36] escott, okay thank you [20:36] yeats: In the User Accounts dialogue my user account is marked as 'Administrator'. Is it sane/ [20:37] yeats: To make user an administrator by default? [20:37] paulsomebody, administrators can sudo and install software [20:37] I just noticed, LCD has 1280x800 (16:10) while external LCD has 1280x1024 (5:4). Should the external ratio look so different from built-in? [20:37] escott: Ohh, ok. So it is not wise to make it a 'Standard' account then? [20:37] paulsomebody, the first non-root user is always an administrator subsequent users need not be [20:37] paulsomebody: depends on your setup, I guess. I would think that the user who installed the OS would want to be able to install and configure software :-/ [20:38] escott: Could be, could be. :) [20:38] escott: Thanks. [20:39] #Debian [20:40] yeats: Yeah, thanks. I understand now. [20:40] is there a way to list the current Xorg.conf that was rendered on the fly or somehow display my video driver thats being used [20:40] skegeek: well is that the native resolution of your external monitor? [20:40] Hello [20:41] !ask | n4dsp [20:41] n4dsp: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:41] hello, n4dsp [20:41] I believe it defaults to 1024x768, but I know for a fact it's capable of 1280x1024 [20:41] do i do that? [20:41] Is there a way that I can get OpenShot on Ubuntu to use my ATI GPU instead of my CPU? [20:42] skegeek: Have you used xrandr? [20:42] Yes. I got 1280x1024 added, but for some reason the desktop was wider than the screen. [20:43] skegeek: I don't think I understand you. [20:43] skegeek: You was able to scroll 'the desktop itself'? [20:43] Can I get openshot to use my GPU instead of my CPU for processing blender titles? [20:43] I installed Thunderbird after having problems with evolution and now I want to uninstall Evolution totally and permanetly. I also want the top right menu bar that has the mail icon and all to disappear. How do i do that? [20:43] n4dsp: First, uninstall Evolution via Software Center. [20:43] ok [20:43] now? [20:44] The desktop changed to 1280x1024, however, the left panel wasn't visible at all and I could only see the right-side applets of the top panel. [20:44] pzaul, it does not generate a conf. you can use tools like xrandr and look at the Xorg.0.log [20:44] n4dsp: Then logout/login back and if icon is still there we will do something terrible to it. ;) [20:44] haha, ok [20:45] I didn't seem to be able to scroll the desktop, unless I was doing it wrong. [20:45] ive got an orange overlay covering my desktop, i think i might have clicked resize or move on a window === Exio|Away is now known as Exio [20:45] hello, i have an issue with smb and windows. samba file server is invisible from windows side. but becomes visible when i access the windows computer share from linux box how can i make my linux box visible without each reboot access to windows computer [20:45] how do make it go away [20:45] !samba | annonymous [20:45] annonymous: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [20:45] annonymous: you might ask in #samba [20:45] I tried using mouse-wheel, moving mouse to edge of screen, even tried click-drag.. [20:45] zpb0103: try logging off and back in [20:45] skegeek: Then I do not quite understand the issue. Was the image stretched, or disproportionate? [20:45] hello everyone ! do you know where can i found a french help for ubuntu ? [20:46] !fr | cheezygirl [20:46] cheezygirl: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [20:46] !fr | cheezygirl [20:46] heh [20:46] skegeek: It is okay. [20:46] paul somebody,,uninstalled so now going to reboot ..bb [20:46] The display of the left area of the desktop was out of view. [20:47] skegeek: You should not have been able to do it, unless something is wrong, or you deliberately set up the virtual resolution bigger than than the real. [20:47] skegeek: Do you know for a fact, that your display can do 1280×1024? [20:47] skegeek: do you use a vga cable, or a DVI? [20:48] Can anyone tell me how to make openshot use my GPU instead of my CPU? [20:48] ok Paul-somebody [20:49] n4dsp: Yes? [20:49] The normal cable type that I've seen for years. [20:49] now how do rid the top right menu of the evolution mail icon at top? [20:49] coolstar: I think you can try the documentation. [20:49] skegeek, does it have a wider pin that is on one side than the others? [20:49] n4dsp: Does it say 'Evolution'? [20:49] no [20:50] n4dsp: Simply, 'Mail'? [20:50] skegeek, the one on the left of the one on the right http://www.pantherproducts.co.uk/Articles/images/vgadvi.jpg [20:50] I don't know...never thought to make a note of that. [20:50] n4dsp: Or, does simply looks like a letter? [20:50] escott: that's a dead link, uk [20:50] but clicking on it naturally doesnt bring anything up. Yes says Mail and compost message when the envelope icon is clicked [20:50] letter [20:50] using Thunderbird now [20:51] n4dsp: Select it as a default mail application and it will open it instead. [20:51] coolstar, not for me [20:51] it already is [20:51] n4dsp: It is the normal behavior for the messaging menu. [20:51] n4dsp: But you want to kill it nevertheless? Why? [20:51] escott: it gives an error 403 [20:52] it simply sits there and serves no purpose but if I can get Thunderbird to open if that letter is clicked that would be great [20:53] Manual says RGB monitor output, probably doesn't help though. === zpb0103_ is now known as pzaul [20:53] coolstar: try refreshing your cache... that link isnt dead nor is it 403ing [20:53] n4dsp: Uhmm. Does it say 'Set Up Mail…"? [20:53] Sorry my screen went ape crap on me. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/screenshotat20111217134.png/ . I'm not sure whats cuasing that, but its happened a few times now. Anyone know a way to resolve that without logging out/in everytime? [20:53] no [20:54] n4dsp: Okay. [20:54] guess its no big deal but thought I could put it to use [20:54] n4dsp: Take a look at this manual, it is pretty straightforward. http://lifehacker.com/5703681/remove-unwanted-entries-from-ubuntus-messaging-menu [20:54] thanks [20:54] n4dsp: And if it still does not launch Thunderbird, try this. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/messaging-menu-integration/ [20:55] n4dsp: For your interest, these links can be found by simply googling. :) [20:55] ha [20:55] rtfm [20:55] anyone know a good driver for a broadcom bcm4313 that supports packet injection? [20:55] thanks again [20:55] pzaul, the overlay is the resize overlay. you are close to the edge of the screen so it is indicating it will resize to full size. does it not go away [20:56] by the way for your info I am using 11.04 [20:56] n4dsp: And chances of someone doing your googling for you on any support channel are lower than average, so you might want to try it out yourself. :) [20:56] n4dsp: Yes, the second link it is then. [20:56] The label for the monitor's port says D-Sub, does that tell you anything? [20:56] kodoku packet injection ? sounds like hacking to me [20:56] thanks [20:56] [20:57] OerHeks: I like to test my network and do pentesting for myself [20:57] when it happens? no, I try just about everything. i have to restart or log out to stop it. i tried all sorts of key combinations without any luck. putting the cursor on the edge, doesnt indicate any additional options or allow me to adjust the dimensions [20:57] kodoku: its borderline illegal topics... [20:57] Resistance: is it? i didnt realize. i only do it on my own network against my own computers. [20:58] My headphones aren't working, but they work on the login screen. Is there a way to fix this? [20:58] I dont believe in breaking the law and am well aware of what i should and should not do. [20:58] kodoku: if it can be potentially illegal, the topic is usually frowned upon here [20:58] escott: if you see me exit again, thats why :( any ideas on how to cancel it [20:58] !guidelines | kodoku [20:58] kodoku: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [20:58] read "Language and Topic" [20:58] s/Topic/Subject/ [20:59] kodoku: ""Some examples of touchy subjects are war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, potentially illegal activities and suicide."" [20:59] Resistance: I am sorry. i will do so. in that case, please ignore my question. [20:59] emphasis on "Potentially Illegal Activities" [20:59] kodoku: no problem, just making you aware of the guidelines ;P [20:59] escott: I'd have to say the VGA. [20:59] qmanjr5: you've tried enabling them via sound settings? [20:59] ;) * [21:00] ill try it right. are there any working drivers for the bcm4313? i have not had good luck today with them for normal use. [21:00] lol === SJrX is now known as SJr [21:00] skegeek, so that could be a problem. vga doesnt always export the monitor dimensions and capabilities, so X has to guess at what a valid modeline is [21:00] !bcm | kodoku [21:00] kodoku: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:01] yeats, where are the sound settings? [21:01] pzaul, not really. you could look into !ccsm and see if something there might be causing problems [21:01] yeats, the only ones I can see are in the upper-right corner, and there's nothing there for headphoones [21:01] anyone tried to snapshot a running filesystem, and running it in kvm? [21:01] Ahh. Well, I've been using the higher res with this hardware, it's just this Ubuntu install that isn't liking it so far. [21:02] skegeek, if you know a valid modeline you can force it with xrandr [21:02] qmanjr5: yes - that's where I'm talking about - are these USB headphones or just "standard" ones? [21:02] skegeek, just be careful because you can damage hardware (not so much with lcds as with crts) [21:03] it says to use the sta driver, which has alredy proven itself useless on my hardware multiple times. [21:03] Would the various numbers change between 1024x768 and 1280x1024? [21:03] How do you echo a password into an SSH prompt, I realize this is a security risk, this is the on ly way. [21:03] yeats, standard ones. They plugin via the headphone port. [21:03] ya, you could take out the horizontal output, or down the flyback [21:03] escott: cant duplicate it now that I'm trying to address it :e selecting any of the window size features works as normal [21:03] StevenC: can you not do ssh-copy-id to set up passwordless SSH? [21:03] skegeek, yes, although if it is an lcd a lot of the modeline is irrelevant because there isn't a cathode ray scanning across the screen [21:03] StevenC: what is your real need? [21:04] qmanjr5: ah - then yeah - they wouldn't show up there... :-/ [21:04] yeats, so what can I do? [21:04] No, I'm SSHing into a switch with low level SSH that gives little to work with. I'm trying to backup the switch configuration's for many switches automatically [21:04] Based on the output of the Xorg log, is there a way to know which driver its using for video? http://imageshack.us/f/825/screenshotat20111217134.png/ seems to list more than one being loaded [21:04] !sound | qmanjr5 - this is hopefully a place to start [21:04] qmanjr5 - this is hopefully a place to start: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [21:04] StevenC, what do you want to achieve? [21:05] <_calum> Hello all. I wish to help test the Precise 12.04 beta release, I'm running it now with a virtual machine. How do I report issues I discover? [21:05] mkannicy: I'm trying to backup our switches automatically, however the SSH is not high level enough to do the public/private key automatic authentication [21:05] zpb0103_, yes but you have to read it carefully [21:05] _calum, join #Ubuntu+1 for support 12.04 PP [21:05] So, without finding the mode from another config file...I'm rather screwed? [21:05] <_calum> thankyou, OerHeks [21:06] yeats, when I go to preferences, no headphones show up in Ouput or Hardware. :\ [21:06] escott: in my log it shows it loading intel, then two others then going back and loading the same intel driver [21:06] !tab| StevenC [21:06] StevenC: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:06] skegeek, if it is an lcd just use one of the modeline generators, but you probably dont need to specify anything but the dimensions and refresh rate [21:06] escott: is it trying to pick the best one and failing back to the original intel driver [21:06] qmanjr5: right - they won't unless they're USB headphones [21:07] zpb0103_, it lists all the drivers that might work, and then finally settles on the one that works. hence the read carefully, especially if you have multiple video cards [21:07] StevenC, so what is the problem that you are facing? [21:07] I'm with StevenC, the problem we're dealing with is that we're trying to SSH into a dumb switch that does not allow us to use ssh keys [21:08] !info sshpass | landono StevenC [21:08] it's on a secure server, so if we're able to echo a password into the ssh prompt, we can automate some backup scripts [21:08] landono StevenC: sshpass (source: sshpass): Non-interactive ssh password authentication. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.04-1 (oneiric), package size 9 kB, installed size 64 kB [21:08] hello, are my server hacked, i can not start up check this link http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/fotokfp.jpg/ [21:08] StevenC, landono, did SSH ever worked with those switches before? [21:09] it works currently [21:09] this issue is that we have to put in the password everytime we ssh in [21:09] and we'd like to run some automatic backup scrips === VD171 is now known as VitaoDoidao [21:09] hello, I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I use Firefox and Thunderbird. I have maked more profiles in FF and TB. I ask or is it possible for extension example AdBlock Plus one time download and in ./mozilla/extension install? Than I don't need repeat downloads for difference profiles [21:09] hello, are my server hacked, i can not start up check this link http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/fotokfp.jpg/ [21:09] landono, I understand you now [21:09] mkanyicy: It c urrently works, however the ssh-copy-id command doesn ot work [21:09] arlo, boot the livecd and fsck your main partition [21:10] landono, StevenC, are there any error messages that ssh-copy-id are returning? [21:10] escott what about my old files? [21:10] escott : it is hacked? [21:10] arlo: don't assume it's hacked [21:11] but is a running some webserver? [21:11] arlo, your first assumption should always be that you were hacked by russian spies who are using your machine to stage attacks on us infrastructure [21:11] arlo: the logs will provide information as to what caused the outage (assuming that fsck fixes the issue) [21:11] escott: :-) [21:11] StevenC, I do not think that echoing password into the prompt will work, that would be the major security hole [21:11] mkanyicy: Here is the error I receive, Protocol error, doesn't start with scp! [21:11] how to update packages? command line? [21:11] Protocol error, doesn't start with scp! [21:11] Connection to 192.168.45.1 closed by remote host. [21:11] They're brocade switches which have a bugged ssh version [21:12] sudo apt-cache update ?? [21:12] StevenC, have you looked at sshpass [21:12] escott: Looking at it now, thank you [21:12] makara: sudo apt-get update [21:12] yes [21:13] --rmmode will delete ONLY the specific resolution right? [21:13] makara: 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' [21:14] StevenC, you can try to do what ssh-copy-id does, manually ... take your public key and scp it to the remote machine and then ssh to the remote machine and append the public key to the .ssh/authorized_keys2 file [21:15] Seeing as Ubuntu is praising for freedom and such I think it's users would be much interested in the new act the US gov is trying to push through, It's called SOPA. [21:15] Thanks a ton guys [21:15] seems like sshapss works perfect [21:15] sshpass* [21:16] mkanyicy, the problem is likely that the router doesn't export a rw filesystem because they dont want to have to reflash the nvram all the time [21:16] You should google for it and sign the petition, if it gets through, all big media sites etc which you - even if you do not live in the us - use daily, could get shut down. [21:16] mkanyicy: We tried sshpass and that does the trick. I'm going to try and manually append the public key, if that doesn't work we'll probably go with sshpass. Thanks for your help [21:16] Mjoo, don't get me started on SOPA/STOP IP........ [21:16] landono, wow, thanks to escott [21:16] !yay | landono, StevenC [21:16] :D [21:16] landono, StevenC: Glad you made it! :-) [21:16] escott: Thank you for your help, that worked great [21:16] landono, StevenC make sure not to use the -p option if you have non-admins on the machine [21:17] escott: Thanks for the tip, we're already using -f, and it is admin only [21:17] landono, StevenC anyone can see the -p option in ps aux === andy_ is now known as Guest26415 [21:18] how do i switch from unity 3D to unity 2D and vice-versa without logging off? [21:18] coolstar: you'll have to log off [21:19] yeats: I want to know if i can switch without logging off [21:19] coolstar, you can try unity-2d --replace [21:19] Just did a clean install of ubuntu. Manage to find my wifi connection, and connect. But i still cant access the internet. Anyone know what could be wrong? [21:19] escott: and how do I switch back to normal 3D unity? [21:19] coolstar, unity --replace [21:20] escott: I just tried that, but its still 2d. should compiz --replace work? [21:20] coolstar, maybe [21:20] haltemien, can you ping 8.8.8.8 [21:20] Something I just noticed is that the left panel now begins about halfway down the screen, instead of under top panel like it should. [21:20] escott: Nope [21:21] It did that when I added the newmode [21:21] haltemien, can you paste us `route` and `ifconfig` === Timic_ is now known as Timic [21:22] Escott: Cant copy-paste, but i write here what hapends. [21:22] haltemien, the ifconfig will be a long output, just want to know what your ip address is [21:22] escott: I tried that, and X.Org almost froze until I ssh'ed and killed compiz [21:22] what is that load thingy ubuntu uses called not grub but above that. [21:23] Escott: inet addr: 192.168.0.101 [21:23] it mounts etc [21:24] eigar, the boot order is bios -> grub -> grub stage 2-> kernel+initrd -> root filesystem === Guest26415 is now known as andygraybeal [21:24] haltemien, so can you ping 192.168.0.1 [21:24] knkn' [21:24] lmlm [21:24] escott: 192.168.0.101 ? [21:25] haltemien, 192,168.0.1 is (the most likely) ip of your router [21:25] escott: yes, but there is a "program" that ubuntu uses that is integrated in the system. Believe it do ie add media mounts for unmounted partitions etc [21:25] escott: Cant ping it. :/ [21:25] Hi, if I have 4gb of ram, and I am running 64bit ubuntu, why does it show only 3gb? (My desktop has 12gb and shows the full 12) [21:26] eigar, that has nothing to do with grub. i think you mean udisks [21:26] Protocol error, doesn't start with scp! [21:26] Protocol error, doesn't start with scp! [21:26] Connection to 192.168.45.1 closed by remote host. [21:26] StevenC: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:26] I'm hoping that there is a way to switch from 3D to 2D unity and back, as I play 3D games on ubuntu, and in wine that need the extra speed [21:26] accident, sorry [21:26] coolstar, you can choose at the login [21:26] escott: I get an Destination Host Unreachable error === stew_ is now known as Guest74683 [21:26] TheCowboy, do you have an onboard videocard, wich uses system memory ? [21:26] StevenC, i doubt your switches will allow you to copy files to them. they usually dont have rw filesystems [21:26] ThwCowboy: I mean without logging off [21:26] !search mkinitrd [21:26] Found: [21:26] OerHeks, I believe my onboard card comes with memory of its own, but maybe that's the case [21:27] escott: Sorry, I accidently right clicked my terminal, things are working great :) [21:27] ubottu: oh really [21:27] coolstar, do you really notice that much of a performance difference [21:27] escott: 3D games perform 3x faster with 2d unity [21:27] TheCowboy, sounds like you arent running 64bit can you confirm with uname -a [21:27] I removed the password on the administrator account. However, when I try to perform a function that requires administrative rights, it still asks for a password. === plum is now known as Guest89554 [21:27] escott: and that's why I said _above_ grub , but no not udisk. Should have it in a logfile somewhere. I'll look some more [21:28] My old one is not accepted, neither is leaving the field blank. [21:28] escott, no, it's definitely 64bit, already confirmed it several different ways [21:28] escott: When I play supertuxkart at 1600x1200 with 3D unity, its almost unplayable. However, with unity 2D its snappy [21:28] pr0xy why would you remove the admin password? === TheDreamer is now known as Iruoy [21:28] I'm having a problem firefox and X's sloppy focus. The menus (File, Edit, View) and the right click menu just disappear when mousing over them, so I can't click on anything in those menus, though surfing the web works fine, for the most part. [21:28] escott, Linux Thinkboto 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [21:28] haltemien, what are your routes [21:28] unreal-dude my parents made me. [21:28] they fail, format [21:29] TheCowboy, perhaps some of the ram is being mapped to the onboard video card [21:29] unreal-dude do I seriously have to reformat the computer? [21:29] pr0xy: what do you mean by "admin" account? [21:29] lol, no [21:29] do you know linyx within windows? [21:29] escott, most likely, I wonder if I can free some of that since I don't do anything that requires it [21:29] escott: default, 192.168.0.1, 0.0.0.0, UG, 0, 0, 0, wlan0 [21:30] oCean, the administrator account, which was the first account set up on the computer. [21:30] pr0xy: the root account has no password enabled, never. You use sudo to elevate privileges [21:30] pr0xy: so, your current account can not use sudo? [21:30] TheCowboy, not *all* ram appears in free. whatever the kernel maps to hardware doesn't appear [21:30] ah [21:30] if it means they have to have access, just give them the password, dont leave an account with no password on your system [21:30] oCean: correct [21:31] haltemien, if your default route is 192.168.0.1 and you can't ping 192.168.0.1 then you aren't connected to your local network check your router settings [21:31] I am experiencing very strange thing — when I press CTRL + F for some kind of reason Ubuntu launches x-term. I never used this thing, nor do I remember configuring the shortcut, nor is it set up in the Keyboard Shortcuts. [21:31] escott: plymouth it was. [21:31] Does this sort of thing happen often? [21:31] pr0xy: boot your system in rescue mode (this will drop you in a root shell) then add your current account to the admin group [21:31] Can anyone tell me the command to switch from unity-2d to 3d and back? [21:31] eigar, and what does plymouth have to do with removable media [21:32] escott: The router ip is 192.168.0.100. And i it even promts for a password when i try to connect to it. I got other devices running on it now, and it works with them [21:32] I like the 3D effects, but I don't want them to use GPU power when I play 3D games [21:32] haltemien, ok can you ping 192.168.0.100 [21:32] oCean how do I add myself to admin? I have no password, and Can't set one, either === clonak_ is now known as clonak [21:33] escott: Destination host unreachable [21:33] pr0xy, thats why you need to boot to rescue mode. then you can usermod -a -G admin your_username [21:33] Is there a command to check what network program im using? I installed WICD but not sure if it works.. (need it because card doesnt support hw scan) [21:33] pr0xy: ^ wat escott says :) [21:33] Hello. how do i add existing user www-data to group bdi? [21:33] haltemien, sorry that was stupid. your route is still pointing at a non-existent ip. check the network settings and make sure you have dhcp enabled [21:34] Are any of you running ubuntu 11.04? [21:34] pr0xy, don't forget the -a [21:34] escott oCean will I be able to use sudo without a password, then? [21:34] escott: on my router? Will i manage to connect to it if i connect it to the ubuntu with a cable? [21:34] pr0xy: that depens on your sudoers configuration [21:34] anyone know of a nice xchat script that can display what song you're listening to? (i won't use it here, promise) [21:34] pr0xy, no. and having to input the password to run sudo commands is a good thing [21:34] How do i add existing user www-data to group bdi? [21:35] escott my parents won't let me have a password [21:35] lol [21:35] tell them your going to get hacked proxy [21:35] diverdude: 'sudo usermod -G bdi www-data' [21:35] spazzz: don't be silly [21:35] sorry [21:35] pr0xy, explain to them that the password is required and leave it at that [21:35] pr0xy: then talk to your parents, and choose a password together [21:35] Okay, mystery solved. [21:35] escott: That was a bit unclear by my pRT. dO YOU WANT ME TO CHECK THE ROUTER SETTINGS, OR THE NETWORK SETTINGS IN UBUNTU? [21:36] ops [21:36] escott how can I set one now? [21:36] escott: I figured it out! 1280 res wasn't the problem...I had to move the screen horizontally via the buttons on the monitor itself. [21:36] haltemien, in ubuntu upper right hand network settings [21:36] The xbindkeys config file I exported had it enabled by default. [21:36] the system settings utility will not let me [21:36] haltemien, you can also check the router [21:36] Does anyone here have any experience with setting up and rebinding multimedia keys? [21:36] escott: didn't say removable media, said unmounted partitions. [21:37] pr0xy, your username already has a password. you just arent in the admin group [21:37] escott: Found the network tab, but I'm unfamiliar with his, and would need a guiding hand on what im looking for :) [21:37] escott i set it so I have no password [21:37] * skegeek loves having 1280 res back. [21:37] escott i log in by clicking login [21:37] I forgot this isn't the chat where you can talk which ubuntu chat is it where you can? [21:37] spazzz: /join #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [21:37] spazzz: #ubuntu-offtopic [21:38] thats what it was thanks [21:38] Thanks for the help. I gotta get to work now that I can see again. [21:38] pr0xy: you can set a password by just entering the command password in terminal. Or boot in rescue mode, do as escott told you to add yourself to the admin group and als run password yourusername [21:39] haltemien, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkAdmin [21:39] oCean it says password: command not found [21:40] haltemien, hopefully the above helps. you want DHCP enabled if it isnt already. if dhcp is enabled then there is likely something wrong with the routers config === XLV_ is now known as XLV [21:40] escott: Thanks, ill check it out now :) [21:40] pr0xy, passwd [21:40] pr0xy: ^again, what escott says :) [21:40] join/ #ubuntu-fr [21:40] escott: dude you're like a bot.. [21:40] heh [21:40] what do you get out of helping people on here? [21:41] abu-bakr: it's all volunteers here [21:41] abu-bakr, some time to watch tv? [21:41] I understand but some volunteer more than others [21:41] escott: no actually rarely find the time for telly.. [21:41] escott, that actually fixed it all [21:41] either work or volunteer work [21:41] abu-bakr: true. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic if you feel like discussing offtopic matters [21:41] palestine cause etc [21:42] oCean: thanks [21:42] help synaptic stop running lately i got this error message"E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [21:42] E: Unable to lock the list directory" [21:43] escott: I think the last suggestion I made sounds like more hard work .. maybe its best just to do a fresh install onto a fresh raid array? but I hope I can setup the separate boot part properly.. :/ [21:43] point being I have noticed at boot plymouth: unable to mount aa01df-fafa... <- uuid of partition. And wanted to find out what plymouth actually does at boot. Enabled bootlog in /etc/default/bootlogd and rebooted to have some log to work with but it was empty (and I got grumpy) [21:43] escott: That guide wants me to write network-admin in the terminal. And my terminal say that it is not currently installed. It seems to be that the ubuntu thinks my router ip is 192.168.0.1 instead of 192.168.0.100 [21:44] twocarlo: do you have any other APT program running? (software center? update manager?) [21:44] abu-bakr, in the installer just create a small partition 1gig is enough and set its mount point as /boot its not a bad idea to have a /boot on every disk [21:44] abu-bakr, so you can raid1 your /boot, but its easiest to set it up non-raid [21:45] haltemien, you shouldnt need to do anything in the terminal [21:45] haltemien, but i cant really describe screenshots that well [21:45] escott: But the windows in that guide are very diffrent from the ones in the network settings [21:46] escott: thanks .. prob go with non-raid for boot.. if it fails can easily rebuild another boot part?? using 'boot repair' (have you used this?) [21:47] sup guys [21:47] !sup | spazzz [21:47] If I update Ubuntu from Update Manager, are my files, users etc saved? [21:47] :) any of u guys running the new ubuntu 11.04 [21:47] abu-bakr, i've always raid1'd my /boot but it doesn't matter to much [21:48] Im not used to this at all been running 9.10 for like 2 years this is so much different [21:48] Say i have a cronjob like this: "0 22 1 * 5 /task" What happens if the day of month (1) does not correspond with the day of week (5). Will the task be executed on every 1st of the month and every 5-th day of week, or will one take precedence over the other (witch one?)? [21:48] escott: might just do that then :D4 [21:50] alright I've been trying this for a while and I'm not getting anywhere. I'm trying to manually adjust my screen resolution. ubuntu is not setting it correctly. I thought it was my drivers, but it looks like I'm already using the correct intel drivers [21:50] I'm trying to add to add a mode using xrandr and i'm getting stuck at trying to change the output [21:51] Here's the pastebin of xrandr and my attempt http://pastebin.com/QBUuQuMz [21:51] zp have you tryed auto adjust from the moniter just curious? [21:51] yeats: i closed sysnaptic but i think it runs on the background, it started when i try to install multi system boot but during on the midde of instalation i cancelled it [21:51] do people here use some cleanup program in ubuntu ? (defragment) or doesnt have to in ubuntu ?? [21:51] If I update Ubuntu from Update Manager, are my files, users etc saved? [21:52] spazzz: I'm on a laptop, the resolution its displaying is 1280 width instead of 1440 [21:52] I did it! I put window XP on my old lap top because I could'nt get the wireless to work in Linux.....and now it works! [21:52] Yes qman [21:52] GOMI, Ubuntu does not need a defragmenter in most cases. [21:52] twocarlo: ah - in that case, do 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock' and see if you can run it then [21:53] hi, I need a way to disable CPU freq scaling in 11.10 [21:53] Is there a up-to-date graphic application to configure extra mouse/keyboard buttons? [21:53] Anyone an expert at networking? I can connect to my wireless, but ubuntu think its ip is..01, instead of ..100. So i cant connect to it, and it prompts me for a password. But once connected i cant access the internett, or even ping the router. [21:54] LemonAid, and like deleting unwanted files that take place in your hard drive ? [21:54] There are quite a few out there, but they are severely outdated and most do not work on 11.10. [21:54] I don't know then xpb013 maybe someone else will then sorry [21:54] paul: ok, can you think of any that might [21:55] Casper hangs for more than a minute after it says "Running init-bottom". It then says "* Stopping configure virtual network devices Waiting for network configuration... Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" I've got no idea where this is coming from, GREPing through the scripts returned nothing. Any idea what to do? [21:55] ct_astro: Are asking me? [21:55] yes [21:55] ct_astro: Well, obviously I was not able yet, or I would not be asking. :) [21:55] Driven152 wireless for linux is really eazy to set up.You just need the name network and your password if its asking for one.Its more stable then windows. [21:56] paulsomebody: thx [21:56] Hi everyone [21:56] almost everyting about wireless is better under linux [21:56] ct_astro: Ha, for what? [21:56] sup razzzeeyy [21:56] GOMI, there should be an app that looks for unused packets (but not for registry, because it's not the case). [21:56] anybody know how can I change the background image in GDM3 ? [21:56] Spazzz: I beg the differ. I got problems with my network :P [21:56] I agree dude === LLStarks is now known as LLStarks|Kingfis [21:57] I blame your network then [21:57] no offence [21:57] linux ftw! [21:57] Spazzz: Care to help me figure whats wrong? :) [21:57] There is a perfect vid on youtube [21:57] about it [21:58] Spazzz: But the problem is a very wierd one. I can connect and all that to the network, but i cant ping it [21:58] ............................................................................. [21:58] yeats: that worked ,youre the man! [21:59] Spazzz: And ubuntu thinks my router ip is 192.168.0.1, when it actually is 192.168.0.100.

I'm a linux beginner :) [22:01] good early morning everyone [22:01] haltemien sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf -- add the line: nameserver 192.168.0.1 [22:02] !search ms-sys [22:02] Found: [22:02] MonkeyDust: You mean the actual Ip of the router (192.168.0.100) or just 192.168.0.1? [22:02] which process name is synaptic on system monitor [22:02] hi [22:02] haltemien whatever your router ip is :) [22:02] ji [22:02] jilou [22:02] know it? [22:03] Would there be repercussions if I install a package initially compiled for Debian?

[22:04] ok [22:04] Monkeydust: Shall I write "dig| grep SERVER" in the terminal? [22:05] haltemien yes [22:05] i have this file that is text, but it should open with some program and represent a graphic, as it is a hpgl file, i'm looking to either [22:05] Monkeydust: Nothing happends [22:05] haltemien does dig show something? just yes or no, don't paste it here [22:05] open the file, or print directly to a printer, but not have it print the text, only graphics, can someone help me chose a app for that in ubuntu [22:05] paulsomebody: most likely yes, and not too pleasant ones [22:06] cap server [22:06] paulsomebody when it comes to linux, its comiled for the processor architechure, but the package is built for in this case debian, you probably wont run into many issues (depending on what packages it needs and what it does) as long as your dependancies are all met [22:06] Thats weird though I never ran into that problem [22:06] MonkeyDust: When i did a "dig| grep SERVER" nothing happend [22:06] haltemien without the quotes [22:07] dear friends I have two distro of ubuntu in my computer 11.10 and 8.04 [22:07] paulsomebody what package?

[22:15] yes they are [22:15] phil_phys: what are you on about then [22:15] haltemien lol yes :) we're stuck there [22:16] you just said theyre not [22:16] stop trolling [22:16] it depends if I choose ubuntu classic or not [22:16] if i choose classic i see 8 distro [22:16] MonkeyDust: :P But it must be possible to download that program on this tablet, and transfeer it to the ubuntu trough a usb stick? [22:16] if i choose normal distro I cannot see all that free space [22:16] how do I move an application to the next workspace? before when I had desktop cube I could just move it over and it would automatically move to the next workspace...

[22:25] ok I see the page so what about the bin [22:25] haltemien, do you have a second computer in your wifi that cna ping the router? [22:25] cna = can [22:26] I have this tablet, that is connected trough the same router, and before i had ubuntu, i used windows that had no problems [22:27] escott: wb. so am I to raid1 the separate 1gb boot parts first then load bootloader onto them? [22:27] haltemien, ok, enter the command 'ifconfig' and 'route -n' and paste the output to #halte_network [22:28] great. just great. grub-install just killed the whole partition. and still does not boot. has anyway tried lilo on a macbook pro? [22:28] haltemien, oh [22:28] escott: also btw the raid5 array always benchmarks slower than the individual drives any idea why this is? [22:28] haltemien, that's not possible... sorry, i forgot [22:28] Benkinooby: Its a bit hard to paste it, sense i only have this tablet here :/ Any specific info you need?

[22:28] abu-bakr, i would start with a 1gb (it can be smaller 250mb is probably enough) on each disk, and just select one of those as the /boot partition. at a later point you can convert that to raid1 mirrored across all your disks [22:28] haltemien, what local IP hast your router? [22:28] i shouldn't say worried it is accessible, IT IS ACCESSIBLE right now [22:29] any phpmyadmin help would be MUCH appreciated [22:30] abu-bakr, how are you benchmarking [22:30] Benkinooby: 192.168.0.101 [22:30] benkinooby: and my router is: 192.168.0.100 [22:30] haltemien, can you ping yourself? [22:31] Benkinooby: yes [22:32] haltemien, what does the commadn 'route -n | grep 0.0.0.0' give you? [22:32] haltemien, without the '' of course [22:33] escott: thanks.. [22:33] the benchmarking using the disk utility within ubuntu [22:33] Benkinooby: Lots of adresses, 4 of them are marked in red [22:34] abu-bakr, so i have no idea what that does. i would use something like bonnie++ or one of the kernel build tests. there are a number of benchmarking tools in apt === TheDreamer is now known as Iruoy [22:34] How much ram is required to run ubuntu server edition 11.04 ?

[22:36] my dell e6410 laptop is a certified ubuntu 11.10 32bit.... I installed the 64bit edition and my laptop freezes sometimes whenever i wake it from suspend... what could be the issue? [22:36] wouter! [22:36] escott: ok thanks.. it has a couple of tests for disks.. one is a read only and the other a read/write.. the disks indidually avg read at about 45mb/s and the whole averages the same... maybe its because the new array is still compiling?

[22:37] kaushal, dig www.google.com [22:38] escott: so run dig *.bom.example.com ? [22:38] escott: aye ;) i start it when the array is 'idle' but then part way through it will start 'recovering' [22:38] i should get list of all IP's ? [22:38] kaushal, you would have to put something in for the *. you can't just ask a random network to tell you all the computers on the network [22:38] enable partner repo?

[22:44] Spazzz: What is a distro? :S [22:44] umm... [22:44] Same as version? [22:44] yes [22:45] haltemien, use the command 'sudo iwconfig' [22:45] The newest one from ubuntu.com [22:45] haltemien, use the command 'sudo iwconfig | grep ESSID' [22:45] 11.04?

[22:48] I would like to get some information concerning possibly wrong dependencies, #ubuntu-dev doesn't exist so is this the right channel or not ? [22:48] BEnkinooby: Wont ping tablet [22:48] soreau: so I'd need to install xorg-dev? [22:48] Douro, i dont have vgaswitcheroo or nvidia so I wouldnt expect that file to exist [22:49] SunTsu, escott lunitunez I thought so. What about with TCPDump ? I was not able to using TCP dump last time I tried [22:49] haltemien, is it WPA2 encryption? [22:49] edbian: a big advantage for sniffers is a big drawback, too. You only can sniff what you receive. But I don't think this is ubuntu specific [22:49] BEnkinooby: The terminal isent doing anything, no error message [22:49] escott: I want to know if it's included in the kernel [22:49] BEnkinooby: Yeah, i tihnk so. Have to enter a password to log onto it [22:49] Douro, and im 99% sure it isnt [22:49] hello [22:49] SunTsu, I think you're right. But when talking about wifi, all packets can be 'heard' and therefore 'recieved' [22:49] Acorn: Probably libx11-dev [22:49] got the latest install of ubuntu running [22:49] Benkinooby: WPA/WPA2 [22:50] mouse pointer lags, whats the first thing i should check to fix this? [22:50] edbian: only if you actually receive it, not being blocked away for instance, by metallic objects [22:50] Douro: That file doesnt exist here on 11.04, but it doesnt havr switchable graphics either [22:50] SunTsu, ahh, yeah [22:50] thanks [22:50] helpful as always! [22:50] well not all the time [22:50] but at the moment its lagging [22:50] densta: have a look whether a process is overloading, run the system-monitor, processes tab and turn on "all processes" in the menu [22:51] I been wanting to say this benkinooby but make sure he's info is correct too.I don't think he did it right.Make sure hes network name,password and the security wpa or what not is correct cause if all that is right it should work.

[22:55] no high cpu or memory usage [22:55] Trigun191, what version [22:55] bjrohan_: maybe backup your settings first (there a button for that somewhere) [22:56] Bert_2 : what next? [22:56] haltemien, i also thought that your router might block your computer and you have to unlock it on the router first [22:56] ok [22:56] will do [22:56] oCean, so i should remove security.ubuntu.com from my sources.list file ?

[23:00] soreau, yeah I know its just a GUI to the cli, but Id like a gui in which many options can be set (like compression level) [23:00] Benkinooby: Nothing happends when i type: dhclient [23:00] !automate [23:00] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [23:00] do you think I could just leave it running and it would contintue the process of going through each one, or do I have to check for an update each time?

[23:01] haltemien, those are all good things to test. wired will test if the router is working. wireless without wpa will test the wireless card wireless with wpa tests the wpa_supplicant [23:02] bonsoir a tous et a tout [23:02] !fr | pioneer_for [23:02] pioneer_for: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [23:02] MeQuerSat: Not that I'm aware of. That doesn't mean there isn't one, you could do a google search or ask on the forums === ubuntunoob is now known as kingoftrolls [23:02] Benkinooby: Shall we try that escott said, or do you have a another idea? :) [23:02] I know Peazip has all those options, but unfortunately its not in the repositories :( [23:02] desoler je me soui tromper de salon === kingoftrolls is now known as KingOfTrolls [23:03] Trigun191: did you see http://code.google.com/p/kitchen-p500/wiki/kitchenPart1 ? [23:03] haltemien, i even think can't really help you further... so do what escott says [23:03] Benkinooby: ok brb :) [23:05] soreau, is there a way to get it in the repositories? [23:05] Escott if u disable the wpa on a wpa connection won't that defeat the purpose and not work? just curious? inless I misunderstood what you where telling him there? [23:05] MeQuerSat: pardon? [23:05] haltemien, escott got to go, good luck [23:05] spazzz, on the router [23:05] How can you make a specific application run borderless? [23:05] soreau: I know Peazip has all those options, but unfortunately its not in the repositories :( [23:05] o [23:06] MeQuerSat: You can try the deb here http://www.peazip.org/peazip-linux.html [23:07] sorea, I already did, but its a bit a pain to look on the site every week to see if there's an update [23:07] MeQuerSat: If the software works, why do you need to update? [23:08] MeQuerSat: You probably only need to check for an update if you upgrade ubuntu [23:09] sorea, ubuntu's main strength is the repo's [23:09] !tab | MeQuerSat [23:09] MeQuerSat: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:09] MeQuerSat: This is a pointless conversation since we don't even support packages that aren't in the official repos [23:10] guntbert, lol I know [23:10] sorea, discussion? I asked howto get it in the repo's [23:10] MeQuerSat: You already answered that question: It's not in the repos [23:11] soreau, how do I get it in...? [23:11] !info peazip [23:11] Package peazip does not exist in oneiric [23:11] MeQuerSat: You can file a bug report [23:11] ah, and where should I file the report? [23:13] MeQuerSat, for proposal new packages > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages [23:13] Thanks OerHeks, exactly what I was looking for [23:14] I'm having a problem firefox and X's sloppy focus. The menus (File, Edit, View) and the right click menu just disappear when mousing over them, so I can't click on anything in those menus, though surfing the web works fine, for the most part. [23:14] i'm having trouble with high cpu use while idling [23:14] Is there anyone here who have successfully configured Microsoft Natural Keyboard and/or Mouse keys/buttons to function on Ubuntu? [23:15] it's idling at about 50% use, and i can't find any CPU intensive processes in the task manager [23:15] i'm also running xubuntu, so there's no reason for it to be that high [23:15] Is there a print command, to print a text file as a graphic, i think it's like hpgl output file to a plotter, or a viewer anyone knows of to view hpgl files under 10.04 [23:15] Escott: I removed the WPA, and it still doesnt work :/ [23:15] yes guntbert, that is the same exact guide except I am using the one from the unlockr.com that has a video, the problem is once you get to the step of installing java from the terminal it can locate it its an error message, that guide is out of date [23:16] haltemien, on the router you disabled the wpa [23:16] Escott: Yes, It even says "open" network, on my tablet now [23:16] haltemien, and you can confirm that nothing on the router is configured to block you (like mac address filtering) [23:16] Escott: I just did a factory reset on the router, So unless its standard, it should do it [23:16] I see there's a "decoration windows" setting in compiz.. is there an opposite? windows that shouldn't be decorated? [23:17] well I hope i didnt mess the process up of using what they asked for because on that guide he has added in an extra step if you still cant get the java files, and I have already started upgrading the ubuntu [23:17] haltemien, did you trying plugging in? did that work? [23:18] Escott: Yes, Ubuntu connected with it, and i did a factory reset, and new setup on it, trough ubuntu === cassio is now known as Guest41950 [23:18] "Custom IOS 249 is a stub! Please reinstall it" [23:19] Is there an easy way to do this that won't break my HBC and everything [23:19] haltemien, so you can connect with a cable but with the cable disconnected you can associate, but the router doesn't seem to recognize you are trying to connect [23:19] Trigun191: sorry, no idea then (although that guide never mentions a specific ubuntu version) [23:19] how can i view a .hpg or .hpgl file in ubuntu, it keeps opening with gedit, or open office [23:19] jtannenbaum: iOS != *buntu [23:19] Escott: I can connect with the router wirelessly, but after its connected, it just like it just isent there anymore [23:20] wrong channel yay [23:20] haltemien, yes that would be "associating" but you aren't getting a "dhcp lease" [23:20] here you guntbert http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/ [23:20] Escott: I got no clue. I hardly know what a dhcp is [23:20] haltemien, so I'm not really sure how to debug this. what kind of wireless card do you have [23:21] even the video tells you the version but I am guessing at the time that is what was out when they made it [23:21] Escott: The wireless card worked fine with widnows. Let me check [23:21] Eighteens, why would you wan to open it? Do you expect an image? [23:21] ok i said that wrong, it opens fine with gedit, but all that shows me is the text, this type of file should have some type of viewer that reads plotted coordinates, and renders them to some type of graphic on the screen.... [23:21] haltemien, dhcp is dynamic host configuration protocol. basically you tell the router "i want to be online" and the router tells your computer how to configure itself to be online [23:21] Escott: How can i check HW in ubuntu? [23:21] Escott: ahhh [23:22] haltemien, lshw -c network [23:22] Eighteens, I believe XnView can open those files [23:22] yes yumbo, thanks for your response... it actually is a image [23:22] the main thing is I am reading that ubuntu does not support the sun java files anymore, but if that is the case, what i use in there place? strange? [23:23] Escott: RT2800 802.11n PCI [23:23] Trigun191: Canonical doesn't, Ubuntu never did. You can use the FOSS java in the repos instead (iced tea) [23:23] Trigun191: Well, 'never did' in recent history anyway [23:23] hey guys this is my lspci, http://pastebin.com/3s6iQHRP my web browsing is painfully slow [23:24] I tried connecting via lan and wlan and is the same thing [23:24] how do I get that? [23:24] I thought sun OS'ed java though? [23:24] Trigun191, I have both oracle java 6 and 7 and am running 11.10 [23:24] haltemien, so i dont really know how to debug this. sounds like something isn't working maybe with the wireless adapter. you might check if there are any messages in dmesg when you try and connect to the network [23:24] anyone has any ideas? [23:24] Escott: How do i do that? :) [23:25] haltemien, dmesg | tail -n 20 [23:25] Eighteens, you can find it here: http://www.xnview.com/en/index.html [23:25] Trigun191: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2011-December/001528.html lists a few possible paths forward [23:25] I am trying to compile Pidgin in Ubuntu 10.04 but ./configure shows an error "You must have GLib 2.16.0 or newer development headers installed to build. If you have these installed already you may need to install pkg-config so I can find them." What is the package I need? [23:25] ok so will that work the same, and where do I fet it [23:25] Escott: Lots of info there, anything i should look for? [23:26] pidgin, use the pidgin ppa [23:26] haltemien, anything that mentions your network card [23:26] CharminTheMoose: They are removing the ability for distributors to modify java, thereby removing the ability for us to remove a few important bugs. [23:26] mongy: I don't want that version. [23:26] CharminTheMoose: That mailing list post has the details if you're interested [23:26] where are the archives at? [23:26] Escott: It say alot of stuff about MhZ and KHz, and in the end it says: no IPV6 routers present [23:26] yumbo, do you think that prints post script, or IN;SP0;PS;SC0, <--- stuff like that to graphics [23:27] Trigun191: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2011-December/001528.html [23:27] http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/3416/aclomnnciaewfai.jpg [23:27] Siri is calling me out [23:27] Eighteens, Im not sure, but this site mentioned it: http://www.file-extensions.org/hp-file-extension-hp-graphics-language-plotter-file [23:27] yumbo i'll have a look, thanks for the tip, this was a big thing that 'someone forgot to overlook' before converting all windows machines [23:27] pidgin, you probably need libglib2.0-dev [23:27] haltemien, you can also run tail -f /var/log/kern.log (type ctrl-c to close this) and then try to associate and see if anything pops up [23:28] mongy: I am going to try thanks [23:28] haltemien, that last bit could be interesting. you should be dual stack ipv6 and ipv4 but that might not be working [23:28] I got that flannel, but which ones do I need that will work in place of the java jre and java bin [23:28] Escott: Associate is that the same as wire the router again? [23:29] Miro keeps crashing. Not usually when I'm using it but when I minimize it while it's downloading and come back to check on it, I find it closed. It seems to like to crash when it's out of focus and I'm not paying attention to it. Could use some help tracking down the issue. [23:29] #austinhackerspace [23:29] Trigun191: That post (see option #1) gives you the package names. They're in the regular Ubuntu archives [23:29] haltemien, so when you have a wired connection you just send electrical signals. when you use wireless you have to associate first which means you agree on what radio frequency to transmit on, and how to identify your messages from all the other wireless traffic [23:29] good [23:29] hi all! how do i get the unity plugin visible in compizcontrol settings manager? [23:30] mongy: that package worked. now show You must have GTK+ 2.10.0 or newer development headers installed to compile [23:30] :P === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [23:30] pidgin, same again. libgtk2.0-dev [23:30] Escott: Ok . I entered the command, and I shall now close the terminal, and connect wirelessly again? [23:30] libgtk2.0-dev [23:30] mongy: :) [23:31] mongy: so the "dev" packages are needed to compile [23:31] apt-get install unity returns: The following packages have unmet dependencies. unity : Depends: compiz-core-abiversion-20110828 Depends: compiz-plugins-main-default but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. synaptic says there's no broken packages and the only locked package is gnome-session [23:32] haltemien, no leave the terminal open [23:32] how do i install unity? [23:32] haltemien, watch to see what appears as you try to associate [23:33] ok_wait: It comes with ubuntu [23:33] coolstar, ah... but it's not installed [23:33] ok_wait: What version of ubuntu do you have? [23:33] Escott: It say alot on updating information on freq. It seem to try on several, and it ends with: Disabling 2284 MHZ. Regulatory domain changed to country GB (I live in norway). And then some freq stuff, and last IPv6 router is not present [23:33] coolstar, 11.10, just upgraded [23:33] 2484* [23:33] ok_wait: unity should come with 11.10 [23:34] pidgin, sorry, yes.. [23:34] coolstar, that's what i was thinking too but E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [23:35] haltemien, ok that could be the issue. national regulations restrict what frequencies channels are available. it may be that your router is operating at a channel that is legal in norway and illegal in the us/gb but to be most compliant ubuntu is restricting you to channels legal in the us/gb [23:35] coolstar, are there packages that conflict with unity that i need to remove? [23:35] Escott: I find it hard to belive that anything is legal in norway, and illegal in other countries :P But how do we fix it? [23:35] ok_wait try: "sudo apt-get -f install" [23:35] haltemien, "rfkill list" might say something interesting [23:36] haltemien, but check what channel your network is set to in your router [23:36] coolstar, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. [23:36] Escott: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN: Soft Blocked: no, hard blocked: no [23:36] haltemien, all this stuff is what makes wireless complicated [23:37] ok_wait: try running software update and see if it works [23:37] Escott: So what to try now? :P [23:38] haltemien, what channel is your router set to [23:38] Escott: How do i check that? === Timic_ is now known as Timic [23:39] haltemien, login to the router and see what it is set to [23:39] Escott: Can i check it trough this android tablet? [23:39] haltemien, however you want [23:39] coolstar, ok i guess i have 2 update managers, one of which says i need to install libboost-signals so doing that [23:40] Escott: Dont know, how, so ill just connect the router again. [23:40] Escott: brb [23:40] coolstar, apt-get install unity still returns unity : Depends: compiz-core-abiversion-20110828 [23:40] Depends: compiz-plugins-main-default but it is not going to be installed [23:40] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [23:41] ok_wait, if you run "sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-main-default" what happens? [23:41] ok_wait: try "sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-main-default compiz-core-abiversion-20110828" [23:42] i've desktop iso how to 'upgrade' to the real server [23:43] donloding the server iso could take some times [23:43] any help would be gread [23:43] t support [23:43] coolstar, yumbo, Package compiz-core-abiversion-20110828 is a virtual package provided by: [23:43] compiz-core 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6 [Not candidate version] [23:43] compiz-core 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3 [Not candidate version] [23:44] E: Package 'compiz-core-abiversion-20110828' has no installation candidate === TheDreamer is now known as Iruoy [23:44] ok_wait, have you run "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update" already? [23:45] Escott: Channel 6 === AndroUser2 is now known as Haltemien [23:45] Escott: Channel 6 even :) [23:45] yumbo, yes, same error of held broken packages. :/ [23:46] yumbo, not during clean and update but 'install unity' [23:47] what should i do to migrate from desktop to server minimal like? [23:47] anyone? [23:48] Haltemien, so channel 6 should be ok. that leaves possible issues as: ipv4 vs ipv6 issues or some problem with the drivers for the wireless. unfortunately i dont really know how to deal with either [23:48] Escott: Its so freakin wierd. With windows its flawless. [23:49] ok_wait, can you run "sudo apt-get install --force-all compiz-core" [23:50] Escott: Thanks anyway :) [23:50] yumbo, E: Command line option --force-all is not understood [23:51] ok_wait, my bad, replace that with "-f" [23:51] compiz-core is already the newest version. [23:51] Has anyone used codeweavers yet with the new version of linux? [23:52] ok_wait, did you enabled any extra repositories? [23:52] yumbo, i haven't touched the repos in ubuntu [23:53] yumbo, should i? [23:54] ok_wait, well, its always a good idea to change the main server to one in your country [23:54] Hey haltemien sorry you didn't get it figured out but maybe your network provider can walk you through it on the phone.I know if I ever had a problem I couldn't figure out mine would. [23:54] hello, can anyone please tell me where can I find help with php? [23:55] danes: ##php [23:55] Spazz [23:55] Spazz: Thanks mate, Im just gonna move my computer and wire it instead, and do what i need to do, and then move it back, and go back to windows :) [23:56] yumbo, mmmk.. i'm in the US. i'm looking over the software sources and there a bunch of repos that were 'disabled on upgrade to oneiric' [23:57] DOn'T do that! windows ugghh... work threw it :( I know comcast supported linux they would help me / well they helped me twice when I had an issue with my internet I remember for a fact.I was being a noob and they walked me threw it over the phone.I misplaced the wire :/ [23:58] hello [23:58] ok_wait, I always have main, universe, restricted, multiverse and the "Canonical Partners" repo's enabled [23:58] yumbo, k lemme look [23:58] i dunno if im in the right place but I got a problem I cant resolve [23:59] would anybody be willing to help me out? [23:59] joe335, state your problem and others can help [23:59] good luck with it either way wish I could have helped more,need food later..
