[00:30] ben_, make sure you turn on the usb for the vm. [00:30] The cable to transfer the video is a IEEE 1394 b to firewire 400 [00:30] Stanley: sry but where is screenlet .. can u be more specific .. coz um new in Linux :) .. appreciate ur help bro [00:30] trism: the blacklist is in nvidia-current/modprobe.conf as well >< [00:31] TalonLite: should probably delete the file, and rerun: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ferramroberto/gnome3; then rerun apt-get update [00:31] husseindgm: they are all in Ubuntu SOftware Center [00:31] It doesn't pick up the firewire port though....any ideas why?

[00:36] ben_: Clearly not then. Try VMWare. [00:37] jutnux, someguy ...."That hardware is becoming more rare these days and VB does not support it."...crap! [00:37] Just a couple of points. First of all, Firewire support is not currently on our roadmap, as a number of people on those forum topics pointed out. (Yes, that could change, but then again it might not.) [00:37] Someone asked about latency issues, and yes, there would be additional latency with Firewire in a guest and no, it would probably not be a predictable, constant latency as VirtualBox itself doesn't run as a realtime application on the host. [00:37] Someone else mentioned a Firewire-over-ip solution which should be feasible to set up inside VirtualBox - host-guest communication over ip is something we have put a lot of work into optimising, and while it would not be quite as fast as a dedicated solution it would work in a pretty similar way. [00:37] And finally I have to wish you luck finding someone who will do this for $100, as virtualising a Firewire controller *and* hooking it up to the host's Firewire stack (on four different host platforms) is not an excercise for a Sunday afternoon, or at least it wouldn't be for me. [00:37] someguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:37] trism: sounds right. [00:37] Just a couple of points.

[00:46] someguy, Well, the camcorder uses a IEEE 1394 connection to transfer the videos to a computer. I've got a cable that I just bought to transfer the files..(IEEE 1394 on 1 end w/ firewire 400 on the other) ...I guess I'll have to dual boot...

[00:48] TalonLite: the error in your paste is from a different file [00:48] I'm thinking the battery is reporting it's power incorrectly [00:48] hello there [00:48] ben_: Well.. dude, Your Host would OBVIOUSLY need to recognize the camcorder for VB to see it EVEN IF Vb could [00:48] someguy: I don't think so, b.c it goes from 100% to 0% and then shuts down about 5 mins later [00:48] duh [00:48] lol trism found it [00:48] lets see if it works [00:48] need a bit of help getting a usb thumb drive to read [00:48] Hi - when I try to install memcached with apt-get, I get this error "Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator" - which account is that referring to?

[00:56] suspicious for the reason of the error I mean [00:56] Daekdroom, Windows has a shadow drive that causes that problem....maybe ubuntu has something similar [00:56] maybe youtube lock these links? [00:56] Daekdroom: Then it's saved to the /home [00:56] locks* [00:56] jutnux, yes, but /home has free space, and yet she keeps getting warned there is no space to save the files. [00:56] Daekdroom: Tell her to stop downloading so much stuff. [00:56] That does not solve the problem. [00:57] The touch command should make a new list right trism? [00:57] Because there is free space. [00:57] Daekdroom: Are you sure there is 12gb? [00:57] jutnux, yes, she checked it. [00:57] Star_Light: yes, try to post: pastebin . com / KFU0AjFa [00:57] or should i do something else instead of attempting to make a new source from nothing [00:57] Star_Light: with spaces [00:57] Through nautilus' properties window [00:57] trism: I found a fix, http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [00:58] someguy, kino is saying raw1394 kernel module not loaded or failure to read/write /dev/raw1394...any ideas?

I recently installed nvidia drivers [02:18] ArcticM: Probably a driver bug [02:19] soreau, any way to fix it? they're from the official nvidia site [02:19] or nvidia's fault? [02:19] hello, i install open-ssh on an ubuntu laptop using wireless. the local address is 192.168.1.110, but when I try ssh 192.168.1.110 I get: No route to host from another laptop [02:19] is there anything to do for this to work when using wireless? [02:19] ArcticM: check the forums and askubuntu.com for anyone with similer issues? You did try the version in the 'addational drivers' tool first? [02:20] I should mention I can't find the laptop when running nmap -sP 192.168.1.* -- but I check ifconfig from the laptop (ssh server) and it is 114 [02:20] 110 sorry [02:20] lduros: Can the other machines ping the linux box? can it ping them? Can it ssh to itself? [02:21] dr_willis: it can ssh to itself, I cannot ping it from my other latop. it says Destination Host Unreachable [02:21] lduros: sounding almost like some firewall on the pc, or router. [02:21] I am using a Brother-HL-5250DN with Ubuntu 11.10 and not able to print at all, any reason why? [02:21] dr_willis: would there be some firewall with ubuntu when using wireless? [02:21] dr_willis: i've used some computers here using ethernet for ssh servers and it worked fine [02:22] dr_willis: I opened it and "Nvidia drivers (173)" is selected as active, there are other 3 that say post-release updates, current, and post-release update current [02:22] lduros: if you set one up, there shouldent be any rules by default. [02:22] ArcticM: you could try the others i guess. [02:22] dr_willis: right, so I wouldn't think there is anything preventing that, except maybe the router [02:22] lduros: whats the other pc you are sshing from? window?linux? [02:23] dr_willis: debian to be more precise [02:23] the ubuntu box can ping the debian box? [02:23] and it works fine, the ubuntu laptop can't find the debian one either [02:23] dr_willis: nope === funnyfingers_ is now known as funnyfingers [02:23] they are both on the same router wireless though [02:23] one is 110 the other 114 :-) [02:24] but they don't know each other exist I guess :-) [02:24] check firewall rules "sudo iptables --list' on each box. if no rules.. (no firewall) then that points to the router settings. [02:24] dr_willis: the problem is that i dont know which one should I choose, they dont have any version difference or anything [02:24] dr_willis: ok thanks:-) it's some kind of linksys router, i"ll have to check the model [02:25] no rule nope, I'll try to plug the ubuntu one with ethernet, see if then it works [02:26] if it does then the router somehow does something when using wireless, it would sound like a security feature [02:26] lduros: my router has a 'guest' wireless network and a normal network feature also. [02:26] hm [02:27] so anyone comming to my house sees 2 networks. :) one 'bubba-guest' and 'bubba-keepout' :) [02:28] dr_willis: plugged the ubuntu laptop (ssh server) to ethernet, and now I can see it using nmap with the other laptop [02:29] so definitely a rule for wireless only === james is now known as Guest18618 [02:31] =w= [02:31] lduros: on my wirleess router - the windows config tool has some settings i cant find in the routers web interface... which is VERY annoying.,., [02:31] bye all.. bbl [02:32] this is my first time using IRC.... [02:33] amazing.. [02:33] if i compile my kernel for core2duo... it will be a 64 bit kernel? [02:34] sumosu: just because you compile for a processor it wont make it a 64bit kernel.. i believe there are 32bit core 2 duo procs [02:34] How do I modify xorg.conf? Its my understanding that the newest Ubuntu might not even have an xorg file. [02:35] pagi kk pro [02:35] ew [02:37] ngga ada suaranya nih [02:37] DrPenguin: but youre not sure? [02:37] sumosu: no i am pretty sure there are 32bit core 2 duo processors [02:38] DrPenguin: c2d processors have a 32 and a 64 bit mode [02:38] … wha? [02:38] that makes 0 sense [02:38] DrPenguin: ? [02:39] a Processor is either 32bit or 64bit [02:39] core 2 duo is both [02:39] i have a feeling you do not know what your talking about dude [02:39] I am using a Brother-HL-5250DN with Ubuntu 11.10 and not able to print at all, any reason why? [02:39] ShawnRisk: did you install the driver === derp|shopping is now known as derp [02:40] ShawnRisk: Try going to your Printer settings (press super-key/windows, type Printer, click it) and see if your printer is listed. If not, click add [02:40] r_tarandus: You just make one. What kind of graphics card are you using? [02:40] DrPenguin: uhm.. help me out then. c2d supports both 32 and 64 bit mode. there are processors that only support one or the other [02:41] sumosu: dude, what is this with you and "mode"? A processor is either a 32bit or 64bit processor [02:41] your processor isnt gonna "switch" modes, theres no notion of a mode [02:41] anyone experience frequent nautilus crashes oneiric unity2d? [02:41] rypervenche: some integrated intel one. where/how do i make one? === zero is now known as Guest6981 [02:42] r_tarandus: You can run "sudo Xorg -configure" to make a generic one [02:42] r_tarandus: It will show up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf === ReTFEF is now known as TheTFEF [02:43] Using Ubuntu 11.10 Up-to-date on an Averatec 2500 laptop. Can't get VLC to be the default player on videos over Banshee. Have selected VLC as the Default player for videos in the Default Applications menu but it still opens all video files in Banshee on a double click...any thoughts? [02:43] DrPenguin: Do some research please; I think you are wrong about the modes of the processor. Assuming we're talking about EM64T processors here (which is every 64-bit processor produced by Intel for the x86_64 architecture), there is actually a concept of Long Mode vs Legacy Mode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Long_mode [02:44] rypervenche: tried that, but terminal says--- Fatal server error: [02:44] Server is already active for display 0 [02:44] If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock [02:44] and start again. [02:44] Guest6981: I never had any luck doing it that way. I think I had to do something like "open with..." and choose VLC to always open this type of file. [02:44] r_tarandus: Ah, which version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:44] rypervenche: latest/oneiric 11.10 [02:44] allquixotic: thats at an OS level though [02:44] Ahhh, thx Rypercenche, takin a look at that now ^^ [02:44] allquixotic: NOT processor [02:45] Guestst6981 right clic on any video, properties and set vlc to be default [02:45] DrPenguin: No; when the operating system boots up, it actually causes the CPU to switch into one of the two modes (Long or Legacy). [02:45] r_tarandus: press ctrl+alt+F2, login as your user, then type "sudo service gdm3 stop" then "sudo Xorg -configure", then "sudo service gdm3 start", and it should automatically send you back to GDM, if not press ctl+alt+F7 [02:46] DrPenguin: uhm but it talks aboout "native 64 bit mode" explicitly [02:46] r_tarandus: This will stop your X session, so save anything you're using. [02:46] DrPenguin: Also, you are technically wrong that there exist "Core 2" processors that do not have EM64T support. However, there ARE Core "1" (there's not a 1 in the product name, but to distinguish it from Core 2, I put it there) based on the P6 architecture, which doesn't support EM64T (64-bit mode): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_microprocessors#Intel_Core [02:46] DrPenguin: yes [02:46] Thanks a bunch Rypercenche, that took care of it! ^^ [02:47] allquixotic: if your onna correct me, please do it right, we were talking about Core 2 processors [02:47] r_tarandus: no windows key but it is there [02:47] DrPenguin: Which is fine; but if that's the case, then I'm telling you that there does not exist any Core 2 processor ever officially manufactured by Intel that does not support the EM64T extensions which allow the CPU to boot into Long Mode and support x86-64 ISA. [02:47] allquixotic: and yet again: these "cpu modes" are at the OS Level, not Processor level [02:47] so your 0 for 2 [02:48] now we need a processor that is 64 bit but doesnt support 32 bit "mode" and the argument is done [02:48] o0 === andy1 is now known as andy_jin [02:48] sumosu: … you want a processor that has no 32bit support? [02:48] DrPenguin: but you cant run 64 bit OS on a 32 bit only processor [02:48] q [02:49] sumosu: um.. duh [02:49] rypervenche: can you repeat those instructions again, please? i'm sorry. i pressed ctrl/alt/f2 before reading all the instructions and then it went fullscreen and i couldnt get out of it, so ended up rebooting. [02:49] DrPenguin: so how can it be OS only? [02:49] DrPenguin: You can *call* them at the "OS level", but you're wrong, sorry. I guarantee you that there is an actual piece of circuitry in the hardware itself that causes it to switch between Long Mode and Legacy Mode. Therefore, it's hardware. Although, yes, there *is* a distinction between 32-bit and 64-bit at an OS level, that doesn't mean that the hardware is or isn't designed a particular way. === james is now known as Guest8447 [02:49] allquixotic: fraid not, your the one whos wrong [02:49] andi m not gonna get into some childish argument [02:49] DrPenguin: uhm yea... processors without 32 bit support. i thought they were out already [02:50] The reason there has to be a piece of circuitry is because the instruction decoder, the branch predictor, and basically *everything* to do with the high-level ISA on Intel processors involves a hardware decoder, and that hardware decoder is different depending on which ISA you're decoding (x86 or x86-64). Because at its very core, an Intel CPU is actually a RISC processor. [02:50] sumosu: I have never heard of a 64bit processor that has no 32bit support, imo that sounds like it would be foolish considering how widespread 32bit is still used [02:50] I am using CUPS by the way [02:50] allquixotic, whether right or wrong you and the other two are offtopic [02:51] sumosu: I've never heard of a 64bit processor that has no 32bit support either. If it is available, it's not widely available for the average consumer. That would be a bad move for any processor company [02:51] urlin2u: yeah your right, sorry about that [02:52] r_tarandus: press ctrl+alt+F2, login as your user, then type "sudo service gdm3 stop" then "sudo Xorg -configure", then "sudo service gdm3 start", and it should automatically send you back to GDM, if not press ctl+alt+F7 [02:52] okay, so ctrl+alt+f7 gets me out of it? cool. thank you. [02:53] r_tarandus: Yes. [02:53] rypervenche: doing that though, I odnt believe Xorg -configure sticks the resulting conf file in /etc/X11 [02:53] DrPenguin, rypervenche: what would you suggest then? [02:54] rypervenche: unless your ust trying to get some basic one then cool beans [02:54] r_tarandus: processors not being fully 16 bit "IBM compatible" wouldnt make anyone care [02:54] r_tarandus: i missed what youve been trying to do, are you trying to make a xorg.conf you can configure? [02:55] DrPenguin, rypervenche: If you're wondering what I'm even trying to get done: I'm trying to rotate my screen. In the forums (link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1557961) it says that I need to include an option in the Xorg file to do so. [02:55] r_tarandus: Oh, it may stick it in /root, in which case you'd need to do "sudo mv /root/xorg.conf /etc/X11/" [02:55] r_tarandus: if your using the Xrandr extension, then yeah its Option "Rotate" "direction" under Monitor section [02:55] r_tarandus: Yes, you need Xrandr. [02:55] for Xinerama.. I think Xinerama is done in the ServerLayout Section? [02:56] … or wayt.. it may still be done in the Monitor Section..crap why cant I remember [02:56] but a little bit back to the topic.. there are no 64 bit kernel sources, so how are they compiled for 64 bit systems?:) [02:56] DrPenguin, rypervenche: is there a shortcut key to rotate the screen, though? or could I set that up somewhere.. hm.. [02:56] r_tarandus: You could make one in your keyboard shortcuts. [02:56] r_tarandus: there is none, you could probably program one, but the X Server needs to be restarted [02:57] my silly guess was that you selecet c2d/xeon and it compiles 64 bit but that is just a wildest guess:) [02:57] DrPenguin, ok...kino works when I run it as root using gksudo kino and capatures my 1394 data from my video camera but it stops @ 700 MB...is there a way that I can make the raw1394 available so that I can use it w/ out becoming root? [02:58] r_tarandus: under a Xrandr enabled server, you do this by using the xrandr command. But for Xinerama, you need to manually edit the X Server conf file and restart X [02:58] hi all [02:58] ben__: your probably gonna have to use sudo [02:58] DrPenguin: pretty sure I'm using Xrandr. so how would I find out what the command is? [02:58] DrPenguin, why does it stop though after 700 MB? [02:58] when using a2enmod to enable an apache2 module, does need to be in the mods-available folder prior to that? [02:58] r_tarandus: its xrandr :P [02:59] ben__: not sure.. is there anything in /var/log or in dmesg? my first thought is maybe your filling up some buffer [02:59] How can I get source for packages?.. [02:59] I need php-mysql [02:59] DrkShadow: if you want the source from apt, apt-get source should do the trick [02:59] oh. Thanks :-) [02:59] i came here for a question too actually... i want 1 of my harddrives to go to suspend mode as soon as possible. i learned the hdparm -S command but i would like that command to be issued on startup, unfortunately it needs sudo [02:59] or just google around, usually websites (including the people who made the thing you want) will host source tarballs [03:00] DrPenguin: sorry, but I'm confused. Do I type Xrandr into Terminal? I'm trying to figure out keyboard shortcuts that'll allow me to rotate my screen clockwise/counterclockwise [03:00] sumosu: you can edit sudoers in a way that it doesnt require a password for the access raise [03:00] ... where does `apt-get source` unpack things to/ [03:00] r_tarandus: yeah, the command for using xrandr from a terminal is xrandr.. I think the command for rotation is xrandr -o direction, left right or inverted [03:01] excuse me all,, [03:01] DrkShadow: I think… /usr/src? [03:01] Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu Studio Controls on 11.10? [03:01] DrPenguin: nope :-/ not for php at least. [03:01] DrkShadow: sorry, Ive only used apt-get source for kernel sources [03:01] anyone know the command to know my cdrom player support for burning double layer DVD? [03:01] ah. Well, thanks :-) It _did_ get the source. [03:01] I uninstalled various unity and gnome packages and now lightdm doesn't start at startup (but is still installed). How do I set it to start at startup? [03:01] there should be a cache folder for apt in var.. look in there [03:02] I think /var/apt/cache? [03:02] DrkShadow: it unpacks it to the current directory === bkerensa is now known as bkerensa|AFK [03:02] trism: awww crap... [03:02] r_tarandus: looks like "xrandr --rotate left" or something like that would work. [03:02] oh lol thts even simpler [03:02] ok, got it.. thanks :-) [03:02] cheers trism [03:03] lol, i got it down to go right/left/inverted.... trying to figure out the one ot make it go back to normal [03:03] stuck tilting my head right now. classic. [03:03] r_tarandus: xrandr -o normal should be it.. the xrandr help file should tell you all possible rotations [03:03] DrPenguin: hmm im googling but this doesnt add up to a solution.... [03:04] r_tarandus: I found all of that out just by "man xrandr" [03:04] DrPenguin, thank you. As always, a tremendous help. [03:04] rypervenche, you too! thanks. [03:04] r_tarandus: glad to be of service [03:05] sumosu: if you google just about the sudoers file, you should be able to find the info neeed [03:07] i dont get it [03:07] DrPenguin, ....I think its a security limit that is set somewhere based on my googling [03:08] ben__: seriously? that sucks hard [03:09] DrPenguin, ...nope...looks like it can be configured but it can only be done as a non-root member... [03:09] unbelievable [03:09] a "non" root member? [03:09] basically anyone who isnt root? [03:10] ben__: Then use duckduckgo :) [03:10] DrPenguin, yup that what I meant [03:11] rypervenche, working on it [03:11] this has been a process [03:11] ben__: besides that sounding likea weird implementation, whys that a rpbolem? [03:12] DrPenguin, well, the videos are like 60 minutes long....I got to run as a non-root member w/ security permissions to record longer than like 700 MB worth [03:13] hello guys, anyone can help? :) [03:13] ben__: so as your user execing the command with sudo? I dont get the issue [03:13] DrPenguin, running kino as root is only allowing me 700 MB of video and then stopping [03:14] ben__: I get that [03:14] DrPenguin, I need to run as non-root member w/ security permissions turned off in order to allow it to capture more video [03:14] DrPenguin, ..I also need to go out and buy a terrabyte drive [03:14] ben__: .. so your user with sudo? [03:15] DrPenguin, good idea....I never thought of that [03:15] DrPenguin, ...wow I'm not the smartest tool in the shed [03:16] So anybody seen a way to remove the Unity global menubar extension for Firefox and Thunderbird? [03:16] ben__: nah man! [03:16] dont say that [03:17] Alright, sudo kino results in "raw1394 module not loaded or failure to read/write... [03:17] ben__: well we know the module is loaded.. so its the latter [03:17] DrPenguin, yup, its a security permissions thing....look @ Security Notes section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire [03:18] anyone having issues with oneiric not being able to authenticate the release repository? mine keeps saying there's a bad GPG key [03:18] !gpgerr | vsingh165 [03:18] vsingh165: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories?

It simply shows them to you as simileys. The person you're talking to is using some chat client. We don't know if that chat client is changing the characters into smilies or not. But changing your software won't change that [04:48] I like 10.04 because they didn't touch the MIDI driver system until 10.10 [04:48] browsing, word pdf remote access, music video, viewing editing making, .... online softwares..., nothing huge i think [04:48] my 10.04 is locking up on me now daily.... [04:48] Got some python midi libs that stopped working after 10.10.... still working on a fix... [04:48] Bahry, using a usb with a live cd loaded should take you to a live desktop if you hit try ubuntu. Is this where you get the black screen, by hitting install or try? [04:49] wild: could be your GFX... what is it ? [04:49] alien2050 browsing, word pdf remote access, music video, viewing editing making, .... online softwares..., nothing huge i think [04:49] I am sorry, I am running 11.04 [04:49] 10.04 is good, and it's LTS so you can expect pactches for a long time [04:49] btw is linux so lame... [04:50] ever since I upgraded to this version, my system keeps locking up from time to time....versions before this worked just fine!!! [04:50] but forget new desktop systems, they are a pain to inst [04:50] urlin2u i am getting none of that. once i boot from usb, i get the meny i describes, black, with 2 ubuntu white logs, and no try ubuntu no tnothing. just an installer boot menu with install, check dic, test memory boot from first hdd, advanced option and help [04:50] it's possible but difficult... I like gnome-shell, not everyone likes it but I do, and 11.10 is just perfect for it [04:51] Bahry, how did you load the usb? [04:52] urlin2u, f9 on first screen, chose boot from usb harddisk [04:52] got to small black menu [04:52] :S [04:52] bahry: what are your specs? [04:52] gfx [04:52] Bahry, no how did load ubuntu to the usb? [04:53] intel, nvidia, amd ? [04:53] urlin2u normally, followed the online thing [04:53] urlin2u, what boot? [04:53] anyone have any idea why I get a blank screen when dropping to a terminal using ctrl+alt+f1? GPU is a Geforce 6200 PCI [04:53] from the commmande? [04:54] Bahry, when you power on tap tap the shift key immediately until you see a earlier gui that says install try ubuntu memory test hit the f6 key choose nomodeset and boot in to the live desktop. [04:55] so hard... [04:55] urlin2u, oi used lili usb creator [04:55] alien2050 intel [04:55] alien2050 i dont know graphix [04:55] xen: nah it's not hard... you just need to practice a little, and the mentality is not the same than MS [04:56] bahry: try "lspci" [04:56] it should show up [04:56] from a command prompt [04:56] alien2050 this menu am at gives me no access to a command line [04:56] if i press escape it takes me to a command line saying boot: [04:57] which cd/dvd did you burn [04:57] !nomodeset | Bahry [04:57] Bahry: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:58] bahry: you need to boot at least once and get to either a gui or hit CTRL-ALT-Fx (x=1,2,3,4,5etc) and get to a prompt [04:58] alien2050 urlin2u, pressing shift on power got me to a message saying unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot [04:59] then boot: [04:59] I can't install nvidia-96 with out it removing xorg. Can I install it somehow? [04:59] at "boot:", try tyep "linux" [04:59] and enter [04:59] could not find kernel image alien2050 [04:59] otherwise you don't seem to have the right CD/DVD burned [05:00] USB or CD ? [05:00] alien2050 i c [05:00] usb [05:00] ah! [05:00] ? [05:00] :) [05:00] Bahry, okay tap the shift after you use the f9 to boot the cd. [05:00] that's a different ball game [05:00] i did urlin [05:00] Did you burn it with "unetbootlin" [05:00] ? [05:00] if not, you should [05:00] it's wayyyyy easier [05:01] i pressed after choosing boot from usb, and then after entering my password. i have a password for the computer at the begining [05:01] urlin2u [05:01] is linux always so flawed? [05:01] alien2050, not sure you can get to a nomodeset if needed with unetbootin I believe its bootloader bypasses the first gui. [05:01] alien2050 i used lili [05:02] yes you can, I do it all the time [05:02] with unetbootlin [05:02] lili usb creator [05:02] ok [05:02] bahry: try unetbootlin [05:02] so download 10.04 [05:02] alien2050, cool I have never had to get to that try install memory from unstbootin. [05:02] ok untebootlin [05:02] and then?! should it work all by itself? no gfx problems?!? [05:02] alien2050, to f6 to nomodeset. [05:03] urlin: it's actually quite cool once you see that in action, that's how I boot my sys [05:03] no HD necessary [05:03] all in RAM [05:03] and it's super fast [05:04] ok alien2050 [05:04] bahry: depends on the actual specs of your PC/laptop [05:04] I'd say 90% of the time it'll be fine [05:04] kool [05:04] If your PC is recent, go for 11.10 [05:04] thanx guys [05:04] nah, its like 3 years old! or even 4 [05:05] hmmm... then try 10.04 [05:05] will do! [05:05] maybe even 9.10; I still run it on an old laptop and it's fine [05:06] well alien2050 10.4 ran well on the ame pc before. i havent had ubuntu on pc in 1 year. i cant w8 for it to work! :) [05:06] but if you have a good GFX like nvidia for instance, definitely go for 10.04 or 11.10 [05:06] good luck, if you have any more problems come back to the channel, we're here to help! [05:06] ididnt see it, some fucked upp ubuntu [05:06] alien2050 i think the gfx is good. could be nvidia! [05:06] will do [05:07] thank u alien2050 and urlin2u, see u in a short while [05:07] it should show up in the BIOS, otherwise [05:07] even if i have btub i cant see it. [05:07] once you boot your live cd, open a terminal and type "dmidecode" or "lspci" [05:07] it'll show up === sys2 is now known as invisibile [05:17] I have bought air contained in a box. I am going to clean my laptop as I am sure it is a lot of dust inside it. Do I just shove air inside the fan holes? [05:17] Or how should I clean it? [05:19] dagerik, that's one way, you could take it apart and spray the air all around in there (which will clean it better) but usually taking a laptop apart is a complicated and difficult processes. There are a tonne of screws [05:19] and tiny cables you might tear [05:19] Hi there. I cannot connect Ubuntu to my wifi tethering from my android device. Any help? Thanks [05:19] anyone know a good pdf editor please ? [05:20] TrD pdfeditor [05:20] Can I get some help... noob question ;) [05:20] didin't work for me studentz [05:20] Airious, what is it? [05:20] two questions or Aircrack... [05:21] Airious, what? [05:21] Trd Complex or simple tasks? [05:21] Airious, two questions 'or' aircrack? [05:21] when it comes to the flat, ide cable - does it matter which of the two goes to the master or slave drive? For instance, does the plug at the far end have to go to the master drive - or does it even matter? [05:21] simple studentz [05:21] just edit text [05:21] Trd an example? [05:21] First, I am not able to get my dictionary file to be "found" when I am using aircrack... I am not sure how to point aircrack to the directory as it is on a windows partition [05:21] changing a text title or paragraph text studentz [05:21] Trd split join ..? [05:21] two questionsl both on Aircrack ;) [05:23] Second question I am not 100% sure my dictionary file is the correct format, or if more work needs to be done; it is a .tar.lzma file [05:23] alien2050 urlin2u i just inserted that same usb on this pc using window 7, and i ran it with virtualbox, and it ran, and i pressed on install, and it got me to the language selction thingie [05:23] edbian: I am afraid of breaking my fans if I use air spray. [05:23] dagerik, I have been thinking about cleaning my tower compressed air bottles, cans don't last long. I am going to adapt a fish tank hose with a plastic cup to my vacuum cleaner. I will then have a hole in the side of the vacumm hose that I can cover with my finger when I want suction at the end of the fish tank hose. [05:23] dagerik, You won't [05:24] dagerik, They can spin when they're off [05:24] dagerik, I guess, make sure the machine is off [05:24] Hey, I have a really powerful computer (i7 2600K, 8GB RAM, with high end NVidia Graphics). If I run Ubuntu thought VM would any delay be noticable? [05:24] BinRoot, windows host? [05:24] yes [05:25] win 7, 64bit [05:25] BinRoot, probably not with 8Gb of ram [05:25] edbian: I am not afraid of them spinning, but spinning too fast. [05:25] ebdian: thanks [05:25] dagerik, not an issue [05:25] BinRoot, Only one way to find out though! [05:25] you're right [05:25] Are u able to assist? (do i have a +v?) [05:25] Bahry, virtualbox uses its own drivers do you want to just install it in it? [05:25] edbian: I do not see how it nor can be an issue. [05:25] I want to do Android development but I love my Ubuntu/linux enviroment but I don't want to install linux on my new computer yet [05:26] so I'll try a VM first [05:26] dagerik, You will not spin the fans too fast [05:26] not with canned air [05:26] BinRoot, that machine won't run windows or Linux; Better drop it off at my place and get something else. [05:26] lol [05:26] bindi, sounds great [05:26] :P [05:27] BinRoot, /me green with envy *smile* [05:27] :P [05:27] it's for gaming (read: battlefield) [05:27] urlin2u nah, am just wondering! [05:27] w30: sure it's not a toaster? ;) [05:28] Bahry, the virtualbox has its own graphic driver I believe. [05:28] vmware vs virtualbox for ubuntu on windows? [05:28] TrD no open source but give a try http://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/features.html [05:29] thank you studentz [05:29] Bahry, I assume of course that the original problem was a driver problem though. [05:29] Anyone able to help? [05:29] or direct me to the right place? [05:30] thanks for the help guys, c ya [05:30] soreau, a 3.4 Gighz toaster? Some hot toaster! [05:30] TrD just check this review of pfdeditor in Linux World http://www.virtualhelp.me/applications/51-office/102-pdf-editor-for-linux [05:31] i wana give a look studentz [05:33] Hi there cannot connect Ubuntu to my wifi tethering android? Pls Help me [05:35] Is there anyone here familiar with mounting a Wii filesystem USB drive (WBFS)? [05:36] I can see the drive fdisk -l as /dev/sdb [05:37] but when I mount it I get: mount: you must specify the filesystem type [05:37] how do i switch back to gnome on 11.1? [05:37] bjrohan, what kind of filesystem? (try sudo parted -l) [05:37] rumpel it says filesystem msdos [05:37] black, 1. there is no 11.1, only 11.10 (10=october, 11=2011), 2. what are you currently using? [05:38] 11.10 "* sorry [05:38] i guess whatever is default. [05:38] epathy i think its called. [05:38] bjrohan, default is gnome3 [05:38] gnome3 is for 10.04 [05:38] black, you mean probably gnome2. [05:38] black, unity? [05:39] yes im using unity [05:39] i dont like it at all :/ [05:39] i want gnome back :P [05:39] rumpel I think you meant that last tag to me for black :-) [05:39] bjrohan, right, sorry :) [05:39] rumpel I am trying to mount a Wii formated usb drive with WBFS :-) [05:40] :-) [05:40] rumpel the parted -l tells me that drive is filesystem msdos [05:40] i dont like the side bar at all, i miss the old fashion menu [05:40] i knew i should have stuck with 10.04 :P [05:40] Hi there Ubuntu cannot connect to my wifi tethering android? Any clue Thanks. [05:41] tether android is ad-hoc. [05:41] bjrohan, i'm googleing [05:41] not a legit wifi source. [05:41] are you using WPK or anything? try different channels. [05:41] studentz, I have android wifi and mine connects fine, it is adhoc as black says [05:42] ad-hoc is funny with being secured. [05:42] check your tether app for errors first. [05:42] try channel 11, 9, 3, 1 [05:43] bjrohan I'm using bernacle I can see the SSID but I cannot connec [05:43] use a different one. [05:44] barnecal sucks on rooted droids. [05:44] Black I configure the IP4 manual and no succes [05:44] no set the ip4 [05:44] leave it open security [05:44] unfortunately studentz, I am a noob as well, and do not know much about barnecal [05:44] black wich one do you you recommend [05:44] wireless tether .3.2.1.apk [05:44] its on code.google.com [05:45] it works great. even my ipod works on it [05:45] black I'll give a try [05:45] Black thanks [05:45] Black which room are you using? [05:45] hi all, I was wondering, is it possible to install the gnome 3 package within ubuntu studio? or should I just install standard ubuntu and install the ubuntu studio package group? [05:46] i wanna go back to gnome, and this tut is showing something way different then what i have [05:47] ajwill: either way should work [05:47] I am now going to open the backside of my laptop and clean it with air pressure. Never done this before, anything I should know before I start? [05:47] dont use air [05:47] dagerik turn it off.. [05:47] use a tooth brush and follow the fins :P [05:47] rumpel, perhaps I must bite the bullet and run the WBFS program via wine? [05:47] i took my heatsync off and soaked it in alc [05:47] use those canned air. [05:48] okay, also, is there a gnome 3 package without the different themes and settings and such, just standard gnome 3 (like fedora)? [05:48] bjrohan, somehow I can't find anything useful. Maybe try wiithon package. [05:49] hello. I need to find out what my ethernet card is (this is a PC, 2nd hand) using Ubuntu so I can get the drivers for Windows 7 :P ... anybody know how to do that? [05:49] this is a new PC ** [05:49] I shall. I have QWBFS and it will not mount the drive. My fear is that withon will not mount it either, but I shall go for it [05:49] no-name-: lspci command [05:49] alright. [05:49] no-name-: hwinfo command [05:49] no-name-: sudo lspci | grep Ethernet controller [05:49] thanks, dr_willis [05:49] !info hwinfo [05:49] thanks [05:49] hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 16.0-2ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 17 kB, installed size 116 kB [05:50] I am having an issue with my ubuntu natty 32 bit update manager - for some reason when upgrading it stops at the 50% mark on the dependencies, and doesn't go any further, even when using sudo apt-get upgrade -f [05:50] can someone help me? [05:51] so i guess all i have to do is type sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and itll allow me to select gnome or unity lol [05:51] twas a simple fix... [05:51] xo, never heard of it stopping at 50% before... [05:51] black thats the core of it.. yes [05:52] Im happy that we all like ellipses [05:52] black, the question is if gnome-shell is the "gnome" you want :) (unity is gnome too) [05:52] and itll load the gnome desktop instead of the unity? [05:52] the classic version per say [05:52] i wonder if i have to reboot, or logout and back in? [05:52] black, gnome-shell is not 'classic', it's the new one. [05:52] selwct what you want at login screen [05:52] i dont do classic. :-) [05:53] I heart classic [05:53] black, it has a fallback-mode which looks somehow like the classic one, but not totally. [05:53] well ima try this, if it messes up, im putting 10.04 back on. [05:53] brb [05:53] #ubuntu-au [05:53] phalanx_ this is all that comes back: alex@griever:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade -f [05:53] [sudo] password for alex: Reading package lists... Done alex@griever:~$ ncy tree... 50% [05:53] fallback stuff is a stopgap thing. time to learn about gnomeshell [05:53] as you can see the word dependency cuts off and leaves me with 50% [05:53] okay, also, is there a gnome 3 package without the different themes and settings and such, just standard gnome 3 (like fedora)? [05:54] k [05:54] yay [05:54] xosuitehearts: try sudo apt-get -f install [05:54] all went well.. [05:54] ajwill: install gnome-shell [05:54] im much happier. [05:54] black: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:54] pangolin: what am I trying to install? [05:54] apt-get install gnome-shell is all you gotta do. [05:54] dr_willis: thanks! :) [05:54] xosuitehearts: nothing you are trying to -f (fix) any packages that were not properly installed [05:55] is that a valid command? though install always needed argument... [05:55] but I'm an apt noob [05:55] pangolin: alex@griever:~$ sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done alex@griever:~$ ncy tree... 50% [05:55] same thing [05:55] xosuitehearts: interesting [05:56] ah, clearly it is [05:56] and I have that red circle with the horizontal white line through it up on my panel [05:56] xosuitehearts: this won't help you, but I am wondering why you are using ntfs if you don't have windows? [05:56] when ever i open update manager it just disappears [05:57] CarlFK: I had windows, switched to ubuntu, Im new to ubuntu [05:57] CarlFK: I used NTFS for my 1TB external [05:57] CarlFK: the ntfs thing was a separate issue :) [05:57] one last question, will the ubuntu studio dvd file be able to be used as a live usb? or should I just go the standard ubuntu route for that? I remember previously having problems with ubuntu studio installation via live usb... [05:57] xosuitehearts: oh right. [05:57] xosuitehearts, maybe try "dpkg --configure -a" [05:58] pangolin: thanks - its 1 till midnight, which is long past time to go to bed. [05:58] me waves [05:58] CarlFK: same here. [05:58] night [05:59] rumpe1 pangolin CarlFK: alex@griever:~$ dpkg --configure -a [05:59] dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege [05:59] alex@griever:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:59] alex@griever:~$ [05:59] doesnt do anything [05:59] well, that is actually good. [05:59] xosuitehearts, you have to read and follow [05:59] xosuitehearts, ah, ok [05:59] xosuitehearts, looks good. Try the apt-get thing again [06:00] alright [06:00] xosuitehearts, if a command doesn't return a success message, you can usually assume that it was successful.

[06:04] nope [06:04] one last question, will the ubuntu studio dvd file be able to be used as a live usb? or should I just go the standard ubuntu route for that? I remember previously having problems with ubuntu studio installation via live usb... [06:05] pangolin: what? [06:05] pangolin: so this isn't something I need to re-install my whole distro over? [06:06] xosuitehearts: this is going to sound silly but try a reboot and then try to do the update from terminal. Don't go through the GUI. [06:06] xosuitehearts: not until you break your head for a few more hours at least :) [06:06] pangolin: ive tried to reboot many times but it still stays [06:06] pangolin: but given the commands you gave me and did, should I just reboot again? [06:07] xosuitehearts, check your logs in /var/log(/apt/). or try "sudo dpkg --configure --pending" [06:07] can't hurt [06:07] rumpe1: okay, do you want me to pastebin them? [06:08] xosuitehearts, no. First have a look at them yourself and try to extract relevant data. Then pastebin that. [06:08] how to install vlc player any one help me [06:08] xosuitehearts, interesting are the logs syslog and maybe some in /var/log/apt (or similar) [06:08] chiyan, sudo apt-get install vlc [06:08] chiyan: sudo apt-get install vlc [06:08] snap! [06:08] :D [06:09] rumpe1: the only thing in var/log/apt is history.log and term.log [06:10] pangolin: ill try reboot after I look at the logs [06:10] xosuitehearts: good idea. [06:10] hey everyone: any issues dual booting win7/ubuntu using an SSD? [06:10] xosuitehearts, hmm... or try a more verbose output for the freezing apt-get command. Check "man apt-get". [06:10] rumpe1: in /var/log/ I see 2 syslog files. one is syslog and the other is syslog.1 [06:11] xosuitehearts, syslog.1 is the old one from last boot/session [06:11] rumpe1: ok, so then just try the apt-get command? [06:11] i'm new to the whole Solid State Drives and im just wondering if there are any problems dual booting with one.. ? :-) [06:11] does anyone need help [06:12] if you do just do tbruff13 and i will help] [06:12] xosuitehearts, try a reboot :> [06:12] rumpe1: alright I did apt-get and the verbose command is -v [06:12] xosuitehearts, a, great. Try that. [06:13] rumpe1: so what do you want me to do with -v? [06:13] how would I use it? [06:13] xosuitehearts, add it to the command line that freezes. Maybe it can tell you more about, when and why it's freezing. [06:13] rumpe1: so sudo apt-get upgrade -v? [06:14] xosuitehearts, right [06:14] How do I make myself a member of a disk group? [06:14] so does anyone know about SSDs and dual booting?

[06:16] rumpe1: yeah i didnt think so either [06:16] rumpe1: what to do next? [06:18] can anyone read this? [06:18] xosuitehearts, problems in the filesystem could also be a cause ... the thing is that it's only speculation as long as there is no warning/error message in some kind of log. [06:18] firerat: yes [06:18] ok thanks :) [06:18] rumpe1: so what should I do? [06:19] how do u disable the exit warning in gnome-terminal? [06:19] where are default themes stored? [06:19] black: /usr/share/themes [06:20] somsip: do you know about Solid State Drives? [06:20] xosuitehearts, check filesystem integrity, smart-status of harddrive, logs(as i said), ... hm... is it a fresh install? Is reinstalling an option that could be easier? [06:20] firerat: no [06:20] rumpe1: I installed it a long time ago about 3 months ago [06:20] rumpe1: how do I reinstall? [06:20] xosuitehearts, same way you installed it :) [06:21] rumpe1: so should I wipe it or reinstall? [06:21] xosuitehearts, backup your stuff, boot from install media. [06:22] xosuitehearts, i'd recommend formating the root partition using the setupCD/ISO/flashdrive [06:22] xosuitehearts, make a clean fresh install. [06:22] much better [06:22] :P [06:22] rumpe1: so when it asks to do a clean install - format it all [06:22] thanks [06:22] rumpe1: also, should I be using 11.10? [06:23] xosuitehearts, yes. Maybe not a separate home partition, if you have one. [06:23] is there a theme app that i can browse instead of gnome-look? [06:23] xosuitehearts, if you like .. 11.04 isn't bad either and maybe better. You have to decide. [06:24] rumpe1: whats the difference between LTS and the regular? [06:25] xosuitehearts, LTS has much longer support (3 years? ), you have to upgrade from a non-LTS much earlier (after 1-2 years (?)). One moment, I look for a sheet. [06:25] rumpe1: what do you mean support? [06:25] xosuitehearts, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ === paxtoncamaro91 is now known as paxtoncamaroafk [06:26] xosuitehearts, bufixes, security patches, download from repositories [06:26] rumpe1: so pretty much is better? [06:27] rumpe1: can I do a fresh install with it? [06:27] xosuitehearts, lts is better if you don't want to upgrade often and if older software versions are good enough for your needs.

[06:31] pp7, cool [06:33] I remember there was a package which would install a simple text file with all dictionary passwords (words, names, etc) somewhere in the system. Can't find the package, does anyone remember its name? [06:34] anyone else experience that gimp ruler actions are not working while bainshee is open..

There are two problems. 1. it is attached in the middle with glue or something I think. 2. I cannot get loose one of the corners, and there is no skrew.

[07:07] it should blacklist it [07:08] !blacklist [07:08] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [07:08] I cannot install vnidia driver I typed like this : sudo service lightdm stop [07:09] maum__: normally one uses the 'addational drivers' tool to install the nvidia drivers. [07:09] or run 'jockey-gtk' [07:10] I had to stop current graphic device to install nvidia graphic driver so I did like this = sudo service lightdm stop [07:10] and run nvidia.run file [07:11] its best to not use the .run installers. [07:11] unless you must have the latest drivers fir sime reason [07:11] dr_willis: how can I install nvidia driver? [07:12] i said how 4lines above..... [07:12] by the menu additional driver?

[07:20] how about nm-applet? [07:21] bodoh: That comes from network-manager-gnome iirc. Awful thing though [07:22] I've got the network-manager ... but not the applet [07:22] maybe it's part of the old one [07:22] run nm-applet ? [07:22] Who the hell needs network-manager anyway...

[07:25] that's definitely the easiest way to program a gui - use existing tools that work great already [07:26] Man, 128kB/s download on this upgrade >< I'm gonna be an old man before it's done [07:26] dr_willis: Except NetworkManager which does networking via dbus. [07:26] All because 11.04 has newer nvidia driver that supports 550 Ti [07:27] dr_willis: The reason it doesn't need root privieleges ;) [07:27] he *did* say "and other cli tools" [07:27] havent had to ness with networking in ages [07:27] I used nmcli for a bit, gave me some genral idea of how NetworkManager works [07:30] what package do I need to play mp4 files? ugly?

[07:51] no i live in a condo and there are 987654321 wifis here and i didnt want linux scanning them all we were hardwired so meh [07:51] its ok as soon as she reinstalls since it was a fresh install we are gonna try the rfkill unbloxk [07:51] FAIL unblock [07:51] how do i change to an irc not listed in xchat?

[08:11] they're talking, but one guy said he has no idea [08:12] I have a custom application sublime text 2. I extracted the tarball and added symbolic link to /usr/local/bin/st. But ubuntu does not recognize it. Whenever i try to right click on file, and i wanted to open it wit sublime text, i cannot find the applciation there in the menu. How can i add it ?

[08:12] I accidentally edited for an older version of Ubuntu and now it's giving me an error when I try to update the system.

I mean start and end time ? [08:22] aBound, just open up a terminal and then type sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [08:22] oh, maybe I should try a live cd installer...

How do I learn the corresponding letter ? [08:27] ubuntu: Unless you've got other drives, it should be /dev/sdb [08:27] ubuntu: It's sequential [08:27] KatsumeBlisk: Not necessarily, on my debian machine it sometimes mounts as /dev/sdf [08:28] ubuntu: However, I don't think the USB affects that because gparted still sees my HDD as /dev/sda [08:28] ubuntu: the sureshot way is to run sudo fdisk -l (this will enumerate all the disks) [08:28] ubuntu: Well, that's been my experience. [08:28] im launching apps in ubuntu, but they keep getting "Termiated" after 5 secs of use [08:28] I couldn't find the edit button in the Software Center. I tried the commands in the terminal but I'm guessing I still have to remove the rogue repository suited for Lucid. [08:28] any idea what could be doing this [08:28] Hi all. [08:28] How do I fix a hashsum mismatch problem? [08:28] ubuntu, No the order is not changed .. but try sdbx instead of sdax [08:28] aBound: I assumed you were using Oneiric. Open Synaptic.

[08:29] CorpX: what apps? also start them from within a terminal; you might see some error messages [08:29] aBound: In one of the menus, there'll be an Other Software option or something like that. [08:29] phlak_user: Would "sudo fdisk -l" enumerate drives that are not mounted ? Because I've tried it and the only thing listed is my usb/cdrom. [08:29] SpenserWilde, More info please ? what file ? [08:29] dagerik: then use what you want [08:29] im launching it from termianl. i see the error "Terminated" and thats it [08:29] esp with firefox [08:29] I am using Oneiric.

[08:30] aBound: When Software Center is open [08:30] Then I guess the hardware is badly b0rked. [08:30] ubuntu: that means that the PC/desktop is not detecting your drives- are you sure they are connected, working etc etc? [08:30] Software Center is open.

[08:35] dr3mro, Tried that. Didn't work. :-\ [08:35] SpenserWilde, is there a new error?

[08:38] ttl- check in etc/ssh/ for the fingerprint files, maybe you could transfer those? not sure if that will work though [08:39] #c [08:39] oops [08:39] aBound: What commands? The "sudo apt-add..." ones? [08:39] dr3mro, Already tried that. Doesn't solve the problem.

[08:40] Understandable. [08:40] dr3mro, Nothing much really. I'm just trying to add a new PPA. [08:41] aBound: I just remembered something. Why are you using a Firefox ppa? Canonical automatically updates Firefox now [08:41] is there a way to determine what packages are installed on a system with only a text editor?

I'm not sure how to do it though... [09:57] neeteex: I said you have to mount your old disk [09:58] OK, should that be using the "virtualbox" software ? [09:58] no [09:58] no '/??

[10:13] rockband: ok - so thats on the localhost, so there is no firewall/routing issues, so then it's not listening on that IP address is the most logical conclusion [10:14] ok, i can paste you the conf if you want to look at them [10:14] no thanks [10:14] rockband: just check if it's configured to listen on that IP address [10:16] you are right. got alook again [10:16] Hi, I'm having real problems with my ubuntu 11.04 installation. I have read different solutions on the webb, but nothing seems to work. The problem I'm having is that I experience tearing while watching flash-hd movies. I have tried different several things compiz/config etc (I'm now using unity 2d, to solve the same problem for xbmc). Anyone that can help me to solve the tearing problem once and for all?

I.e. not the downloaded files... [10:21] meco, check config [10:21] ok [10:21] meco: check the clients settings [10:23] * DarkStar1 shouts for help [10:23] I found it in .config but I couldn't find it in the client's settings [10:23] dr_willis, I solved the xbmc problem by using unity 2d, but for flash movies in browser the problem remain. I have read alot about this and it seems to be a glitch between unity/compiz open gl and nvidia/opengl/hardwareacc.!? [10:24] I really need help with setting my server's system locale [10:25] Pepp-elito: compositing and xvidia don't mix [10:25] dr_willis, so basically I'm willing to skip ubuntu/unity 3d-support, to have proper playback, but for some reason even unity 2d seems to interfear with hardware accelerated playback.. [10:26] Pepp-elito: what site has the flash videos [10:27] dr_willis: youtube [10:27] dr_willis, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk [10:28] Pepp-elito: xbmc and boxee have youtube plugins. is that how you are watching them? [10:29] dr_willis, no using the browser... [10:29] I feel like an idiot for resorting to IRC over this, but have tried googling to no avail. I'm having issues with a PS/2 mouse not working on a default install of Oneiric... [10:29] tey the xbmc plugin perhaps. or download the flash video and cinvert perhaps. [10:30] ut could ce a cpu ir other bottleneck [10:30] dr,willis, chrome/firefox... [10:30] say I've attempted to build an xorg.conf with "Xorg -configure", and that fails. I've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but it doesn't detect my mouse. [10:31] grr.. silly andchat irc client still has keybord issues for me.. [10:31] say It's a Logitech 3-button PS/2 mouse, no wheel, if it matters. [10:31] dr_willis: that link won't run on xbmc, regardless of plugin, it's the lastest holy grail sort of [10:32] almoxarife: interesting. wonder if it would work on my boxee box [10:32] wonder if that lik has a html5 alternative. [10:32] dr_willis: didn't try it on boxee, it would be interesting if it did [10:32] /join #nookcolor [10:34] dr_willis: what is more interesting is the link won't run on totem/mplayer/gxine/etc either [10:35] I'm having an issue with KMS switching to the wrong video output during boot. Does anyone know where I can look up the kernel boot options? [10:35] almoxarife: sent it to my boxee box que. ;) usint tubemate on my phone to download it as we speak [10:35] almoxarife: i will have to test it out more when i get home [10:36] dr_willis: does tubemate also make subspace calls to veger? === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [10:37] hmm.. boxeebox que manager dident like the url. ;) youtube doing weird stuff again? [10:37] dr_willis, almoxarife, I have tried it on xbmc using the plugin. It plays fine no tearing. however the problem for browser playback remain.. [10:38] hello, can someone help me determine language of a script file? [10:38] Pepp-elito: you played the link above on xbmc with what plugin? [10:39] Pepp-elito: better yet, lets take the conversation to #xbmc, it's a bit off subject here [10:39] http://www.smart-it-consulting.com/docframe.htm?url=http://www.smart-it-consulting.com/progress/4gl-code/dump-progress-database/dumpDB.p&title=dumpDB.p [10:39] almoxarife, the youtube one. [10:40] Pepp-elito: better yet, lets take the conversation to #xbmc, it's a bit off subject here [10:40] almoxarife, okay [10:40] hello..

[10:44] 11.10 [10:44] test it on other machines yet? [10:44] yep [10:44] so it fails on all? [10:44] I can see the files are there with a file explorer [10:44] but it will not boot into the usb drive [10:45] dagerik: is the volume marked as bootable? [10:45] dagerik: for 11.10+ you can 'dd' the iso file straight to the flash with no need for the usb creator tool [10:47] robinduckett: I has a start under boot, in fdisk -l, that means it is bootable? [10:47] dagerik: unless it says "bootable" i don't think so [10:48] a * next to a prtion = bootable flag. i think [10:50] you dont need bootable flag to boot [10:50] i dident think so either Gentoo64 [10:50] not for linux as least. ;) === matt_ is now known as Guest49083 [10:51] Irc ppl!

[10:56] Bahry: so you picked a server.. and want a full normal desktop? [10:56] mansoor: in chromium type about:flags [10:56] enable werbgl there [10:57] hi guys [10:57] dr_willis indeed! [10:57] Bahry: download the desktop iso [10:57] then you can just do a plain install [10:57] can someone help me? [10:57] Bahry: if your hardware is 64bit.. get the amd64 one also [10:57] ubuntu server will probably be slower for a desktop [10:58] Gentoo64: what option? i dont' see anything pertaining to webgl [10:58] mansoor: what chromium version? [10:58] Gentoo64 dr_willis, am usually smarter than this! thanx guys, i dont believe that i did such a mistake! this is my second today! [10:58] Bahry: dont worry :) [10:59] i'm experiencing problems with my wifi adapter after upgrading to 11.10. Card is BCM4306rev3 and neither firmware-b43-installer nor firmware-b43legacy-installer works. anyone got an idea? [10:59] Gentoo64: 15 [10:59] mansoor: maybe its not in that version idk [10:59] Some one that knows if browser playback of flash hd movies will be teringing free on ubuntu 11.10? (Using nvidia ion) [11:00] Pepp-elito: tearing? [11:00] Trying to make a usb startup disk. Do you see anything wrong here? http://folk.ntnu.no/dageriv/s.png [11:01] Pepp-elito: flash will use vdpau if your card supports it, i dont notice tearing in flash [11:01] Does anyone know how to force my video connector to VGA on KMS? [11:01] Does anyone know how to force my video connector to VGA on boot? [11:01] Gentoo64, using ubuntu 11.04 (even using unity 2d) I have tearing (lines/breaking the screen) when playing movies in the browser [11:02] Pepp, what is your video driver? [11:02] Pepp-elito: not sure then. playing with vsync never seems to help, are you on nvidia or nouveau? [11:02] ok, got it... thanks ;-) [11:03] mansoor: apparently webgl is enabled in stable chromium and from firefox 4 onwards [11:03] Pepp-elito What type of videos? Flash or embedded? [11:03] Gentoo64: right.. i'm thinking its a driver issue [11:04] Braucht noch wer was auf den letzten Drücker? [11:04] mansoor: maybe. i dont know much about it tbh. i think on chromium you have to manually enable it in the about:flags, in firefox apparently its enabled but you could check about config [11:04] http://amzn.to/AmznCyberMonday Amazon Gutschein 10 Eur : AMZNXMAS2011 [11:04] hmm [11:04] mansoor: webgl.force-enabled is the firefox about:config entry [11:04] mansoor are you running an ATI card. The Chromium team decided to blacklist all ATI cards because a few caused crashes. You can try overriding it in chrome:flags [11:05] Ruedii: na, i'm on nvidia [11:05] Mansoor and likewise what Gentoo64 said for Firefox. [11:05] Mansoor: You could check if it's enabled in chrome:graphics on chrome. I'm not sure where to check in Firefox. Gentoo64 might know. [11:06] about:support maybe [11:06] not sure [11:06] I force started webgl on firefox [11:06] Ruedii, more or less all inbrowser movies (not only full hd), but e.g. this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk [11:06] do i need to reboot after doing the 240 somethin updates after install? it didn't tell me to [11:06] but it srediculasly slow [11:06] mansoor: maybe chromium 15 dont support it, i think 16 is the stable one [11:06] mansoor: probably a driver thing then [11:07] Pepp-elito most run on flash player. Try toggling video acceleration in the flash player settings. It may be an issue there. [11:08] haha i hadn't enabled my restricted drivers [11:08] nvm [11:08] Ruedii, search the webb for tearing ubuntu 11.04, makes me belive that it's a common problem. But none of the "solutions" seems to work (changeing to unity 2d, solved the same problem for playback in xbmc, but browser playback is still a problem) [11:09] Pepp-Elito try in your flash player settings that might help. [11:09] Ruedii, I have tried this, doesn't help.. tried different browsers etc... [11:09] different drivers... === mirco_ is now known as mirco [11:10] How can we let wvdial ignore username password (as service provider does not give any) when connecting to ZTE modem? [11:10] Pepp-Elito: Have you tried using the Google version of Chrome. They use a different flash player plugin. It tends to run video better. [11:11] anyone, pleeease! My ubuntu is dead without internet connection! :( [11:11] RatulL It should do so automatically if you leave the boxes empty, but you can edit the scripts. [11:11] Ruedii, yes that's the one I'm using now.. === [sanyi] is now known as [Sanyi] [11:12] Ruedii: I left it " " but says auth error (error 19 for pppd) [11:13] Ruedii: please? any idea? [11:14] Pepp-Elite: you have tried turning on double-buffer. [11:15] Ratul: make sure it's blank, no spaces. [11:15] can someone help me about hdmi? [11:15] maum: what's the issue? [11:15] /proc/asound/NVidia/eld#1.0:eld_valid 1 [11:16] there is no device no. 1 in profile sound preference [11:16] maum: you are not getting sound and you want it? [11:16] Ruedii, is this option found in nvidia-settings-manager? [11:16] I cannot hear hdmi sound [11:17] almoxarife, yes [11:17] maum: using the gui for sound configuration? [11:17] yes [11:18] Maum oh, simple issue, There should be an option in the sound settings somewhere to create a unified sound output device and set it to default. That is usually the best solution. [11:18] maum: picked the correct 'hardware' already? assuming you have more than one choice? not profile yet, just hardware [11:18] How long does the repo usually take to update firefox to the latest verison? I'm on ff8 but ff9 is already out [11:18] mansoor: they dont always bring out new versions in the same release [11:19] almoxarife: I already did it there is two device (hdmi, internal audio) [11:19] Maum: The other option is of course to make sure your default output is the digital sound output in your video card. If your card doesn't have sound output you'll need to either run a seperate sound cable or get an "injector" to hook to your sound card's SPDIF output. [11:19] Ruedii, how do i enable dubble-buffering for nvidia/ubuntu? [11:19] Gentoo64: how do I get arround this? remove the install I did from the repo and install it directly from the FF website? [11:19] mansoor: firefox should have a pps [11:19] ppa* [11:20] Ruedii: the hardware system is not a problem. I could hear the sound before I reinstall the os [11:20] but.. im on 9 and i think its just javascript thats improved, apart from that its nothign amazing [11:20] Maum: In that case it's the settings. You probably just have the wrong default output. [11:21] Ruedii: output device is set to hdmi [11:21] Ruedii: output device is now hdmi [11:21] maum: fine, in the profiles of the hardware choice you picked there will be multiple choices, nevermind what the words say, go thru each one, and the first one usually does not work (says something like 'default..... stereo), mine was option 3 or four, I forget [11:21] Maum In that case pull up your sound settings and test it. [11:22] Pepp-elito: you mean triple buffering for vsync? [11:22] there is several option in profile but I tested one by one but I cannot still hear the sound [11:23] almoxarife, Ruedii: now I can hear thank you all [11:23] Gentoo64, I'm not sure, Ruedii asked if I had dubble-buffering enabled, as I'm having tearing issues for video-playback.. (I have v-sync enabled) [11:23] ser siek [11:23] swieć się] [11:23] Pepp-elito: vsync simply dont wory properly on linux [11:24] work* [11:24] triple buffering wont affect it, you dont need it either [11:24] Pepp-elito: what graphics drivers are you using? [11:26] Gentoo64, so basically you think that v-sync might be causing the problems? (Many threads on the net talk about enabling it in compiz and nvidia-settings to get rid of the problem) but now I' even running unity 2d, which should not be affected by compiz? but the problem remain.. [11:27] Gentoo64, nvidia 290.10, have tried several.. [11:27] people say enable it in compiz, enable it in nvidia setting etc etc, and some people say it reduces it, but it bever gets rid of it completely [11:27] i think gnome3 uses vsync by default === amine is now known as pioneer_for === capcook1 is now known as boooh [11:28] the only way i can stop tearing is to use vdpau (which flash should be using anyway with your drivers) === dad_ is now known as Guest82862 [11:29] Gentoo64, I'm thinking about installing 10.10 as people only starting to experience this problem since upgrading/installing ubuntu 11.04/unity [11:29] rescatux fixed my grub....woohooo [11:29] im not sure about that, its up to you [11:29] Pepp-elito: the DE might have something to do with it [11:30] Gentoo64, I don't know if it's using vdpau or not =) but it's hardware accelerated atleast or else my computer could not manage to playback it 09 [11:31] Gentoo64, DE? [11:31] the unity and gnome thing [11:31] its hard for me to say what it could be [11:32] i use openbox, no effects, no vsync enabled anywhere, and flash / mplayer2 never tear when using vdpau [11:32] so it could be the DE interfering somewhere [11:32] Gentoo64, I'm more or less sure that it's strange, because it's some underlaying change affecting both unity/unity2d/classic desktop.. [11:33] Gentoo64, hehe. ignore parts of my previous post, does not make sense =) [11:33] i will have my customer see status on webserver [11:33] application i think [11:33] Pepp-elito: yeah im really not sure whats causing it :s [11:34] Gentoo64, the problem seems to be deeper as it affectes unity/unity2d and classic desktops [11:34] Pepp-elito: what gpu do you have? maybe it just dont support vdpau? [11:35] Gentoo64, nvidia ION (1 not the second gen) [11:35] tbh i dont know what ion is, is it onboard? [11:35] Gentoo64, running zotac zbox nd-22... === mirco_ is now known as mirco [11:36] Gentoo64, it's onboard i think =), but it should support vdp... [11:37] i think most nvidias do from something like gforce 6 (or maybe 8) onwards, no udea about onboard though [11:38] what can i use besides unity? [11:38] !nounity [11:38] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [11:38] ok [11:38] lol [11:38] hi guys this is my first touch with unix systems and I'm with a little difficulty [11:38] RobNuts: :) what do you want, a plain desktop then? [11:38] RobNuts: nearly every windowmanager and Desktop Environment there is for linux [11:39] not completely sure. 2nd day trying linux. tried mint 12 first but it was too buggy for me [11:39] so ppl said go ubuntu. play with for about an hour and don't care for the unity bar stuff [11:39] RobNuts: do google images for kde, xfce, lxde, [11:39] see what you like tyhe look of [11:39] RobNuts: well, there's kde, xfce, openbox, gnome3, and lots more, if you have enough disk space you can install them all, compare them and remove what you didn't like afterwards [11:39] one thing my computer is one HP G62 with two graphic cards. one ATI and other Intel [11:40] have about 50gb. would rather do that. just install all of them so i can give a go [11:40] and my system can't detect [11:40] ubottu, was this an suggestion to my tearing issue or related to something else? [11:40] Pepp-elito: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:40] ubottu, haha [11:40] someone have the instructions for I install correctly these two graphics cards? [11:41] talking to a bot =) [11:41] :) [11:41] i did sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback. i guess that's gnome classic [11:41] !ask | bmmdeoliveira [11:41] bmmdeoliveira: 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 [11:41] bmmdeoliveira: Please tell everyone what graphics cards you have. [11:41] RobNuts: don't geuss, see what ubottu wrote [11:42] similar to gnome 2 than. not gnome classic... [11:42] !classic [11:42] Anyone in here that have or have had tearing issues in ubuntu 11.04? [11:42] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [11:42] cuz it didn't say classic [11:42] forum post said it was [11:43] RobNuts: gnome classic is alright, if you just want a basic one-panel then lxde is good [11:43] its little bit like windows xp [11:44] i guess i'm used to winblows. i want a taskbar with an app menu. that's all really [11:44] id say lxde then [11:44] its pretty faultless [11:46] Hello @all!

I have a terminal window. I have one ati hd5470 and ione intel hd graphics [11:48] can you not disable the intel in the bios? [11:48] Anyone here that is using an ION based system and have experienced video-tearing on ubuntu 11.04? [11:49] Pepp-elito: yeah sorry i cany help more with that :s [11:50] no I can't disable the intel graphics card [11:50] Gentoo64, no problem, tanks anyway. I think it's a hard problem to solve if you have not experinced it your self.. [11:50] Pepp-elito: i did a couple of years ago with an ati card, no amount of tweaking vsync options anywhere worked properly [11:51] Does anyone here use eclipse 3.7? [11:52] Gentoo64, the sad part seems to be that it's related to 11.04 and people have not experinced it before upgrading to 11.04 (atleast for the nvidia ION chipset ) [11:52] Pepp-elito: if you could cloe your drive then maybe its worth quickly testing 10.10 [11:52] clone* [11:53] Hi, could someone help? I'm on 11.10 and trying to make a desktop launcher to run an sh file. If the command is ./file.sh it gives an error about being unable to execute the child process. If it is sh, it just does nothing... [11:56] Gentoo64, yeah, think I will try it during the holidays.. Tanks for your support1 [11:56] btaylor927 what about sh ~/a/b/c/file.sh [11:57] installing lxde [11:57] installed and didn't care for gnome 3 nor gnome classic [11:58] I'll try, but the launcher and the sh file are in the same directory. One sec. [12:00] SlyUK, no, adding the full file directory didn't help [12:02] guys, i have a tablet with a hid-multitouch supported device, on livecd the module is loaded and works perfect, after install not. Then i added the script to udev and now the module loads, but the device still is recognized as hid-generic (dmesg). Any ideas? [12:04] is there a gui tool that allows you to see bg tasks? much like the windows task manager? [12:04] i'm trying to use brasero to burn a large amount of data across two discs, but when i press the "Burn Several Discs" button, nothing happens. [12:04] Yes I know how to use ps but I'd rather have a nice clean output in a smaller window [12:05] DarkStar1 what about htop ? [12:06] btaylor927 i am trying to replicate it but a sh file of mine launchers fine. [12:06] SlyUK, could it be the contents of the sh file choking it? [12:06] SlyUk: never heard of it [12:06] siwy [12:07] I'm using an sh file to get minecraft to work with the 64 bit JDK 7 [12:07] Also, does anyone know a good app with a gui for controlling fan speeds? This new laptop gets incredibly hot :( [12:09] command line to run software manager? [12:09] can't find it in the menus in lxde [12:11] RobNuts: thers 'synaptic' if its installed. [12:11] sudo software-center --enable-lp? [12:12] lxde is ugly [12:13] RobNuts, its basic, fast and perfect [12:13] lol [12:14] menu [12:14] preferences-> synaptic [12:14] txomon|nqas: XFCE (l) [12:14] Which filesystem for pendrive is better - ext2 or ext4? [12:14] I dont find lxde ugly at all [12:14] neither do I [12:15] jutnux, it is matter of tastes [12:15] XeonBloomfield: ext4 is the current filesystem, I advise you to use that unless you have reason not to [12:15] maybe if i tweak the fonts [12:15] XeonBloomfield: i tend to use ext4 just because im lazy. :) ive heard it can ware out the drives faster.. but ive not had a usb drive wear out yet.. but i Have had 'regualr' hard drives break more often then my usbs [12:15] and color scheme [12:15] XeonBloomfield: id say ext3 or ext4. not sure why you would want ext2 these days [12:15] dr_willis: that was when early ext4 didn't support trimp on SSD's [12:15] xeon i always use fat32 for pen drives, the nature of them is to carry them about / transport files.................. so you at some point are going to stick it in a windows box. [12:15] dr_willis: that issue is long long gone [12:15] ikonia: but does that apply to usb flash drives? [12:16] I don't want to transfer data with Windows boxes ;) [12:16] dr_willis: yes [12:16] I have another pendrive for it [12:16] XeonBloomfield: my current install is on a 32gb flash - a full normal install. using ext4 [12:16] dr_willis: ext2 doesn't have journaling [12:17] XeonBloomfield: thats good and bad. :) [12:17] RobNuts, but if it is not enough cool for you, try gnome3, kubuntu etc [12:17] gnome-shell* [12:18] lxde is probably fine if i change the fonts and colors [12:18] lot faster [12:19] looks like i'm in win 98 [12:19] lol [12:19] i use lxde mainly on my netbook. [12:21] Merry Christmas and Happy New Year [12:23] Trying to mount a NAS drive; it's plugged into my router; device says 10.10.1.246... appears in Nautilus 'Browse Network' on my Ubuntu machine with "nas-58-3B-9C (AFP)" and "nas-58-3B-9C (AFP)" labels; any connect times out; can't ping it from the local network. I've followed a few online guides but the semi-visibility of the device isn't addressed in any of them. Pretty sure I'm missing something really obvious here.

[12:25] hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu (or actually mint :p) on an macbook pro, can anyone give me any hints on how to do it, i mean on a pc it's easy but doesnt mac have efi instead of bios etc? partitioning? dont want to mess up my gfs comp [12:25] Vaxu: use the mint support resources [12:25] !mint | Vaxu [12:25] Vaxu: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [12:25] To be honest, I'm not sure. That was just the first solution I found online to resolve minecraft not working in 64 bit [12:25] RobNuts, It does, and i love it xD its really usefull for semi-server computers [12:25] If someone has a cleaner solution, I'd be happy to know it :) [12:25] BTaylor927: doesn't seem a good setup to me [12:25] ok, always used ubuntu myself :P [12:26] Vaxu: well, you said you wanted to install mint, they have a good support process [12:26] txomon|nqasL I see. Windows 7 was just getting way to slow for this old pc. I'm sure I would get used to some of these DE's if i spend the time to get comfortable with them. [12:26] BTaylor927, xD minecraft, run it as java -jar minecraft.jar [12:26] yeah i bet they do, just thought if anyone knows what to think about [12:26] will do a search, thx anyways [12:27] Every time I did, txomon|nqas, it'd just output a black screen after login [12:27] Vaxu: they will know better, and they are the best people to ask [12:27] Which is apparently an issue with using it on 64 bit [12:27] ikonia, do you have a suggestion for a better solution please? [12:28] I don't use minecraft, so I'd have to research it's setup [12:28] BTaylor927, are you using a modified one? [12:29] txomon|nqas, no I'm not.

[12:34] yep [12:34] ah the privative package is sun-java6-jre but you have to activate the restricted [12:34] (or multiverse) dont remember [12:35] can anyone help?

The fans were so dirty that there were literally no airflow... cleaning that somehow made the whole computer work faster [12:45] might be because the CPU is closer to its optimal operating temperature? dunno [12:45] :cool [12:46] DarkStar1, I think /etc/enviroment has also to be changed [12:46] but [12:46] try to do it from the graphic menus [12:46] txomon|nqas: How?

[12:51] dagerik: never tried it befor. ;) [12:51] Anyone here that is using an ION based system and have experienced video-tearing on ubuntu 11.04? [12:51] dr_willis: Very nice suggestion. I will try it. [12:51] Pepp-elito, ask your question [12:52] is it somehow possible to disable most if not all the visual effects for the desktop on 11.10? That kinda slows down my computer and I need all the speed I can get :S [12:52] crappy computer.... [12:53] try xubuntu :P [12:53] yeah [12:54] I'm experiencing tearing for flash videos in the browser, had this before in xbmc as well, but was fixed by using unity2d. But unity2d did not solve the browser issue [12:54] so this unity interface is a replacement for X? [12:54] dr_willis: I can not find a setting where I can map a mouseclick to a keyboard click. [12:54] is it API or ABI compatible for drivers? [12:55] can i get some input please, if anyone here has a bluray player can they let me now if having libbluray installed, with xbmc compiled from source actually playbacks the bluray disc [12:57] jmscomtech, build it your self so you can upload it via ppa ;) for other users. [12:57] that might be having the same problem [12:57] TiMiDo: i wanted to know if it actually works before i go and install buntu [12:58] oh lOl try it your self [12:58] or look in the ppa jmscomtech it self [12:58] jmscomtech, you can try it w/o installing ubuntu [12:58] but libbluray needs to be installed and the xbmc compiled [12:59] you could try live disk, pretty much you get almost all the features of an installed ubuntu and you can even install new applications [12:59] Is there a way that I can install packages from the LiveCD to my Ubuntu partition? [12:59] or try some virtualization software [12:59] 3 mins. to install and then the ubuntu 20 mins [12:59] hmm i just wanted to know if it workes with encrypted discs or still needed to be dumphd [13:00] virtual wont use blurays as a playback thats the probs [13:00] Are "Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-6-generic #12-Ubuntu" the same as "v3.2-rc6-precise" [13:00] hmm i spose only way is to download ubuntu install it and try it myself dang i hate doing that [13:00] no mote [13:01] how do i modify the hostname that shows up in my prompt where i use a \h [13:01] ? [13:01] mattfoo, nano /etc/hostsname [13:01] thanks [13:01] no problem ;) === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [13:04] nano... [13:04] just curious can i use nvidia drivers in a .rpm format in ubuntu? [13:05] test [13:05] join to linux [13:06] jmscomtech, no... but there is an app called alien [13:07] jmscomtech, you can convert rpms to debs with it and debs are installable with dpkg on ubuntu [13:07] and some times alien wont break your system.. :) [13:07] !alien [13:07] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [13:08] why on earth would you install nvidia drivers from rpm in first place [13:08] its a .run file but i believe it unpacks a rpm file [13:09] why is the dvd installer for 64bit only 650mb? [13:09] is that normal? [13:09] yes jmscomtech [13:10] because all the other packages you install them your self via net install [13:10] do a md5check :) [13:11] for a quick and dirty workaround i want to mount a directory from my home folder to the tree, is this possible aka how ?? [13:11] ahh ok [13:11] Can I install packages to my main installation using an Ubuntu live CD? Need to reinstall GDM -.- [13:11] Aside from the built in one, does anyone know of a twitter client which will keep an icon in the top menu bar in 11.10? [13:11] can i just loop mount it back ? [13:11] proxx8187, man mount [13:12] yes jutnux apt-cdrom ;) [13:12] jutnux, it is possible I believe if you chroot into the mounted partition of the real install [13:12] but i am no expert on the subject [13:12] Insert the command setfont-v / etc / rc.local and configuration is not running. Any ideas? [13:12] just wanted to check ifi the combo allows bluray playback without needing a dumphd to be middleman as it were and virtualisation doesnt allow for playback of blurays oh well soon find out [13:13] Thank you both. [13:13] hi i need replace in bash script one array [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] and second array [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h] how replace in text like " asd 1 asd 2 asd 4" to "asd a asd b asd d" [13:13] ?? [13:13] any idea ? [13:14] krisss117, try regex... 2 more apps get to mind: awk and sed [13:14] sed will more than likely do just fine [13:14] might be a support channel for both [13:16] ok, thanks === elementary is now known as firerat [13:17] proxx8187: you can use soft links to make directorys appear somewhere else [13:18] that would be possible except for the fact that the program (wine) expects a cd drive, i could just iso the folder and mount that , but i first wanted to check if this is going to work [13:18] proxx8187: i think the wineconfig tool lets you set up a folder to appear as a cd. [13:18] proxx8187: what are you doing that wine needs a cd? [13:18] right :) good idea [13:18] trying to install something :) [13:19] In the past ive copied stuff from 'cd' to a folder and isntalled from there.. it would be a weird game/program that dident work that way [13:20] iam using play on linux, wanted to try their scripts, this is all gui sh*t where leaves me little option for those kinda things [13:20] lol it just says : this is not a cd :P [13:22] what the heck ill just make some isos [13:24] btw, should i use dd to make an iso , or is there a "safer" method ? [13:24] dd stands for "death and destroy" right [13:27] pls.. anyone ?? [13:27] When I edit my screen or power settings, the settings are not remembered when i log in next time.

[13:51] !notunity [13:51] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [13:51] !classic [13:51] I need to mount a samba share on my laptop. There are two IP's for the remote computer: one for the network and one connected to another machine. So, if I try to mount via //host_name/share_name, it fails (nmblookup host_name gives two IP's). I can mount it via //dhcp_ip/share_name just fine though. This is going to be a permanent mount, so obviously mounting a DHCP IP is going to give issues. Is there any way to have samba ignore the [13:51] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [13:51] i havent tried the open source drivers but surely the 3d will not work at all with those?

[14:40] i am so happy! [14:41] !offtopic | Someus [14:41] nero for winblows is decent [14:41] Someus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:41] But Jesus is the autor of ubuntu! [14:41] lolwut [14:41] WHy? [14:41] its christmas [14:41] Someus, this is ubuntu support only [14:41] Jesus is the autor of ubuntu [14:42] Now this is just ridiculous no matter how you look at it. Oh well, can some ops do something? Also... Christmas is in two days. Not now. [14:42] Someus, stop it now [14:42] I can not change the language of Unity because Portuguese (Brazilian) is not available despite Portuguese package to be installed. [14:42] Someus: Not yet. Let's stay on topic here. [14:42] Doesn`t ubuntu team celebrate christmas? [14:42] Someus, isnt alah the author ? [14:42] Why you are so mad? [14:42] evil? [14:42] hehe [14:42] Can anyone help me with the installation of Ubuntu on a Windows 7 machine? At the end of installation using Wubi It keeps crashing on me. [14:42] Thanks bazhang, that was weird. [14:42] I think Someus is playing on the keyword game where as long as the word 'ubuntu' is mentioned every few posts, he should be okay [14:42] * theadmin pokes usr13 [14:43] methinks the mistake/offtopic monitors should lighten up somewhat this time of year === Lara is now known as Guest10464 [14:43] well BluesKaj he was being a bit of a festive season troll [14:44] Let's move on, ok [14:44] BluesKaj: oooh that's just opening a pandora's box .. lets discuss it in #defocus....otherwise we might get marked down [14:44] ahh trolls like the season too :) [14:45] BluesKaj: come on, don't continue [14:45] oCean, especially you :) [14:45] he posted his pic online http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/8294/1645051-1231132_1122893_trollface_h_super.gif [14:46] hello [14:46] I need help!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:46] does anyone know a program that allows me to make labels in ubunut? [14:46] what do you mean by 'labels'? [14:47] Mailing labels? LibreOffice writer. [14:47] i need to make 3.8cm by 7cm sticky labels [14:47] its something like 21 a page [14:47] doh, should've made the connection...given the time of the year [14:47] rymate1234: I've heard good things about glabels [14:47] rymate1234 LibreOffice. File -> New -> Labels [14:48] Since noone knows about Wubi. What's the best bet to install ubuntu on a Win7 system? Should I create a partition first and try from Wubi? A Boot CD or USB? [14:48] ChrisC_: LiveCD/LiveUSB. Wubi is always broken and never works [14:48] sorry people, no offence intended [14:49] Thanks, I figured that since I haven't found many topics on it. So, I can just burn the ISO from ubuntu's site and essentially boot-up off the disk and isntall. Should I partition my drive prior to doing this? [14:49] ChrisC_: besides, I've heard about installs with wubi where encrypting the drive ends up in sad endings [14:50] ChrisC_: No, the installer can handle all the partitioning [14:50] * rymate1234 is failing [14:51] I've been scared to go further with the installation process as I've heard the ubuntu messes with windows 7 boot process. is this true? or is it safe to bet after the installation I'll always get to the dual boot screen? [14:51] nope [14:51] its not true [14:51] ubuntu does not break win 7 [14:51] Awesome, I can't wait to get this isntalled. [14:51] heh [14:52] I used mandrake years ago. Once I joined the military I fell of the wagon. Now I'm back and heard Ubuntu was the way to go. [14:52] ChrisC_: ubuntu is a lot better than windows for me [14:53] mainly cuz a virus borked windows [14:53] ChrisC_: don't know if this still applies but you might want to make sure you don't have any external USB storage drives connected up when installing. It buggered up my install. [14:53] I don't like windows very much. Unfortunantly It came with my laptop =P [14:53] d^ [14:54] * insectatorious applauds ChrisC_ on the wisdom displayed [14:54] Does ubuntu come with a nice GUI? I know mandrake had a gnome what basically made it like a windows userface. [14:54] ChrisC_, it was probably kde [14:54] only problem I have with using ubuntu is the apps the choice of apps is much less and loved windows apps are flakey under wine, but I will get used to it [14:55] Wow, Wine? windows Emulation? that's still around? [14:55] ChrisC_, if you want it to look a bit like windows 7 then install kubuntu [14:55] yeah [14:55] works [14:55] but stuff isnt very stable [14:56] guess other than the defined specs that wine conforms to, the actual windows programmers have many bug work arrounds etc, that wine dosnt have [14:56] I should do a bit more research. I noticed there is Lubuntu and Kubuntu and Ubuntu... [14:56] ChrisC_: Essentially what you're after by switching from windows is the functionality offered by the linux kernel [14:56] I used to use Tweetdeck via AIR but it looks like they're phasing that out in favor of a native version Windows and Mac. Does anyone have any suggestions for a Twitter client that handles multiple accounts well? [14:57] ChrisC_: you can choose either edition...tweak one to look and feel like another, but essentially they're all the same under the hood [14:57] What would be the better beginner one? [14:58] ChrisC_, there isnt lol [14:58] Its just looks? [14:58] if you like the look and layout of kde, choose kubuntu, etc [14:58] understood [14:58] its looks, and the default set of apps and how its layed out [14:58] ChrisC_: I suggest Ubuntu simply because that's what I started on. The latest version, 11.10 lets you try two radically different desktop env - Unity and Gnome Shell [14:59] ChrisC_: not that there's anything wrong with KDE I might add [14:59] don't want to start that debate [14:59] again [14:59] which is the most used, k [14:59] or gnome [14:59] burnt, on ubuntu? [14:59] id guess gnome as its default [14:59] this is like asking which is used most - Chrome or FireFox? [14:59] in general [15:00] kde and gnome arer both popular [15:00] ah gnome... thought so, was reading a view saying kde 3 is disliked [15:00] they perform the same...try one - any one - and if you don't like it, try another...that's the whole point [15:00] Should there be anything I should print out? I remember for mandrake linux I actually had to setup my internet in a rather annoying way.

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. [15:00] ChrisC_, if you use dhcp itll work right away [15:00] essentially, I'd like to get it installed and be back on this channel =D [15:00] i think it comes with xchat, i could be wrong [15:01] Im running Server 11.10 i already have apache2,php5,and mysql5 installed. I need support for MSSQL and ive googled around and found a couple of tutorials, but when i go into the PHPINFO(); i dont see it loaded. Do i need to restart apache2 again? [15:01] ChrisC_: run it from the LiveCD if you want to be super careful...that should tell you how your system will respond [15:02] can be a nightmare getting mysql and php to talk, probably not loaded the mysql refs in php.ini [15:02] or they are commented out [15:02] Hey guys ... E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [15:03] How can know what process is locking dpkg? [15:03] nvm, another apache2 restart loaded it.. strange thats the fifth time i had to restart it [15:05] did you have settings file opened but not saved? then on close and restart everything works?

[15:14] yes insectatorious [15:14] choose "ubuntu classic" at the login screen. [15:15] in the bottom of the screen [15:15] pitlimit, Why not just use 10.04? It's supported 'til 2013.. [15:15] !nounity | pitlimit [15:15] pitlimit: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

Not Windows. [15:23] I should be able to somehow install the look I want [15:23] pitlimit, there is something similar but classic is gone [15:23] hahaha fair point pitlimit [15:23] People are sure sounding like MS folk ;) [15:23] yes, classic as you knew it is gone... [15:23] on the contrary [15:23] Anyone here run ubuntu via VM? [15:23] pitlimit: You should consider xfce (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) [15:23] we are not pointing you down a funnel pitlimit (as MS would). [15:24] instead, you have a plethora of options available [15:24] Something about Unity is very.... Vista like [15:24] bubbly, and nonintuitive [15:24] fair enough [15:24] pitlimit, lets get back on topic please [15:24] i am on topic bazhang [15:24] goto the software center and install, gnaome-shell [15:24] Is this not the ubuntu room?

[15:25] how convenient [15:25] pitlimit, As I stated earlier, perhaps you missed it, why not simply install 10.04, it uses the desktop that you prefer and is supported until 2013? [15:26] Sidewinder1: , I would... I just don't want to lose everything I customized [15:26] unity [15:26] pitlimit: xfce4 can be customized so that it looks and feels just like the gnome you had in 10.04 [15:26] ok usr13 with what you told me to install, right [15:26] pitlimit, Perhaps you could back-up your /home and go back, from there? [15:27] or why not simply select gnome from the menu when you log in? [15:27] There were hardware issues Sidewinder1 and so many patches I had to apply to get everything up and running [15:27] Hay, it's sidewinder1 === root is now known as Guest19023 [15:27] pitlimit: Yes, that's it. Try xfce, you'll like it. [15:27] r4y, Hey! [15:28] pitlimit, OIC, reconfiguring can be a pain but sometimes, we can't have "it", both ways.. :-( [15:28] I didn't try installing the plumbing, instead we decided to go with a vanity sink, but I have had so many others things I have been doing [15:28] Sidewinder1: this is Linux [15:28] 'Ya think? [15:28] options is the name of the game [15:29] Most things take time to learn [15:29] yeah, and i learned a lot from linux [15:29] r4y: I'm not sure if you're making an analogy about Ubuntu, but just in the case you're not this might be more appropriate in private or in #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [15:29] I as well [15:29] * Sidewinder1 's Time seems to be running out.. [15:29] It's been fun [15:29] I'm using bootcd and a chrooted ubuntu 11.04 install to create a small livecd, when I run the iso image in qemu, bootcdmodprobe fails and dumps me to the busybox CLI. What am I doing wrong? [15:30] I can't remember why I was here, but I ended up trying to help someone with the nick fav [15:31] Pici, I think that r4y was speaking to pitlimit and stating that unity/linux, like many things takes some time to learn, :D [15:31] Dr_Willis answered fav: fav before asked this: rage 128 pro ati, you said thats a very old ati card isent it? [15:31] no thanks [15:32] that's the whole point of using Linux. I learn what I want :) [15:32] did he mean replace it? [15:32] not what Ubuntu tells me to learn :) [15:32] * Sidewinder1 Sighs.. [15:33] I want to learn. I've been saving text files to gather helpfull info from the past 2 years, but it doesn't always work out, but it has helped [15:33] sigh to yourself. how un-linux-like to tell someone she must learn how to use Unity when she doesn't feel like it [15:33] :) [15:33] r4y: ages ago . ati support in linux was well.. even worse then it is now. :) [15:33] pitlimit: no one is telling you that [15:33] it's implied [15:33] inferred and deduced [15:33] r4y: i keep snippits of answers in tomboy notes. and bookmark stuff on delicious. [15:34] whichever word you prefer [15:34] * dr_willis goes back to using Lubuntu [15:34] I remember on Myspace the linux geeks group said to use nvidia so when I order my computer I asked for a pretty decent nvidia graphics card for my bucks [15:34] r4y: i always go/suggest the 'most bang for the buck' because you normally dont want 'just came out this week' hardware. :) [15:34] bookmarks galore indeed. It goes on and on [15:35] r4y: somthing a few months to a year old. seems to be about right. === Armand is now known as Guest38021 [15:36] My graphics card is good enough to me. I think it is pretty old but it can run tv-out through an s-video and I can run Nintendo 64 games if I want [15:36] pitlimit, WADR, I think you inferred, rather than anyone else implied; either way, 'tis all good. :-) [15:36] pitlimit: /join #xfce [15:36] r4y: please use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat [15:37] Sidewinder1: i disagree. I don't need any more suggestions from you, thanks :) [15:37] r4y n64 is all you need out of a graphics card !! [15:38] pitlimit, NP.. [15:38] I can't remember how dates are in order, but it says it was from 11/21/06 [15:39] I know I should know [15:39] It's not a big deal though [15:39] r4y: do you have an actual ubuntu support question? === anuh is now known as boleh_nanya [15:39] I was going to help faz [15:39] I thought it was fav though [15:40] r4y: if you don't have a specific issue, please DON'T continue the offtopic [15:40] but as you have suggested, he should get a new graphics card [15:40] How will I know what graphics card his motherboard is compatible with? [15:41] r4y: the user you're referring is not online, it's useless to continue [15:41] r4y: Read the manual [15:41] r4y, he's gone. lets take chat to the appropriate place [15:42] I know for instance my motherboard can take 184 pin ram [15:42] OK, I am sorry [15:43] what version exactly is the nvidia driver in Additional Drivers? [15:43] r4y: Download the manual for your Mother Board. [15:43] does version current = 290.10? [15:43] RobNuts: i think it can depend on your video card what one it sugests [15:43] RobNuts: Your nvidia card is detected and the appropriate driver is loaded for it. [15:43] RobNuts: they normally are not the latest release versions. [15:44] how good usually are the linux drivers at the official nvidia site? [15:44] RobNuts: lspci |grep -i vga #See for yourself [15:44] i see they have a current driver for my card [15:44] Does anyone know how I can set my laptop fans to stay at maximum speed constantly? [15:44] can anyone point me to a forum/article on how to cfg the desktop enviornment? [15:44] RobNuts: Best to let the system load it for you. [15:44] RobNuts: the ones in the repos are the same drivers, repackaged for ubuntu. [15:45] RobNuts: i always use the ones from the repos.. it saves hassles in the long run [15:45] RobNuts: The package manager will download and install it for you. [15:45] doubt i'll be playing any games on linux anyhow [15:45] i was just wonderin if they were up to date with nvidia [15:45] shiloh: depends on the details.. but check out webupd8 and ombubuntu blog sites for tweaking your desktop [15:46] omgubuntu blog site. :) [15:46] RobNuts: Keep wondering. [15:46] that makes sense... [15:46] Would using fancontrol and setting the temperature at which the fans start running at full to 1 degree work? [15:46] BTaylor927, Not that it answers your question but, my wife's lappy was overheating and she bought an external fan that the lappy, sits on. Problem solved.. [15:46] RobNuts: if nvidia came out with one last week.. they are not going to be updated. :) at least not in a few days of release, [15:47] Cheers for the advice, sidewinder1, but I'd rather just adjust my fans via the OS [15:47] RobNuts: ... yea, like I said, keep wondering, (it' [15:47] s good for the soul [15:48] alrighty then. woulda though there'd be a way to check [15:49] BTaylor927, The only reason I threw that "tidbit" in was no one else seemed to be answering. This channel can be very busy and sometimes folks don't see your question. :-) [15:49] RobNuts: But the package manager will bring you updates for all your packages as they become available, (including graphics driver, if you installed it via the package manager). === boleh_nanya is now known as anuh [15:50] RobNuts: Whereas, if you download from Nvidia and install it yourself, that is not the case and you will just have to find out for yourself.

[17:40] RobNuts, stop at file sharing advanced (don't do that part) [17:40] edbian, ok [17:40] thank [17:40] s [17:40] so ipv6 is disabled by default in ubuntu 11.10? [17:41] FirewallD no está en ejecución. La detección de impresoras de red necesita que los servicios mdns, ipp, ipp-client y samba-client estén activados en el cortafuegos. [17:42] TiMiDo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/780042/ <- this is the output from dmesg [17:42] RobNuts, test it, does it work? [17:42] i have a weird problem with running minecraft, it is clearly driver related, i updated to intel 2.17 from a ppa and it reduced the problem, but not gone totally [17:42] test what? [17:42] RobNuts, .... get on the wii, see if you can view the files [17:43] RobNuts, That is the goal here right? [17:43] edbian, i doubt it since i haven't shared a folder yet [17:43] RobNuts, did you edit the configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf and save it and restart samba? [17:43] RobNuts, then we did! [17:44] ... [17:44] RobNuts, ... ? [17:44] i have to share a folder [17:44] unless that made it share all drives and folders on m pc [17:45] lol [17:45] RobNuts, that little section of the config shares the home folders [17:45] i c [17:45] RobNuts, let's see if that works [17:46] i will go look. but why can't i right click and share? [17:47] RobNuts, right click and share does this conf file editing behind the scenes. Short answer: thunar doesn't support that feature. You could install nautilus and do it (probably) [17:47] RobNuts, but this way if more reliable and we can try different thing when it doesn't work. Can't do that in the gui [17:48] RobNuts, If you read that entire article that I pasted in the link you can see that there is a tonne of stuff you can configure [17:50] edbian, i didn't get on the wii. but i did get on a win xp pc and i could see my linux pc and the "home" folder [17:51] tho it would not let me browse it. said didn't have permission or somethin [17:51] RobNuts, so it's working? Read the whole article to set it how you want [17:51] RobNuts, Yeah, that's the user part. I'm not sure about that. Try different usernames [17:51] I have to go now! [17:51] edbian, which is no biggie. i don't think. on the wii it lets me put a username and password so i can probly put the smb user/pw that i created with that guide [17:52] i will use ushare upnp for the xp machine and my xbox [17:52] then to install sabnzbd and sickbeard and migrate my sb database from win 7 to this [17:54] /j #eu [17:54] /join #eu [17:54] \join #eu [17:54] romulo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:46] Airious: symlink? [19:47] symlink? [19:47] usr13: Airious doesn't know where the drive is mounted. [19:47] Airious: mount with no arguments will tell you what is mounted and where it is mounted. [19:48] Airious: linux does not care about drive letters. You decide where to mount that partition like /mnt/windows - and from there you go down the directory tree on your windows partition [19:48] if there e.g. was c:\win32 it will turn to /mnt/windows/win32 [19:48] Airious: You create a mount point of your choosing and then just mount it there. [19:49] IF you decided to mount that partition to /mnt/windows, that is [19:49] Airious: Have you not created a mount point yet? [19:49] I think the mounting is were I am getting confused, because I beleive that when I boot in my drives are automatically mounted... I do not need to do anything special to see any of the files [19:50] Airious: mount with no arguments will tell you what is mounted and where it is mounted. [19:50] Airious: then see what usr13 just wrote.

[20:01] usr13: he confirmed that 3C12BFE612BFA2F6 is the windows partitions "name" and that's mounted via fuse, which is the case when it's ntfs, therefore, we already got the mount point ;) [20:01] Airious: SunTsu Ok, then, that is it. [20:01] SunTsu: So, what does he want to do with it? [20:02] usr13: that I don't know yet. Access a file on it I guess [20:02] I think he just wants to explore the files usr13. [20:02] If he just wants to explore the files on it, looks like he's already doing that in the file manager. [20:03] Iḿ really thinking about just switching over to ubuntu. It runs smooth on a VM. [20:03] Airious: so, now that we're at this point, what is it you want to do actually? [20:04] No I do not want to just view the files... My linux partition I only made at 50 gig and I have a file that was to big to fit so I needed to dl it to my open partition [20:05] What I am trying to do is get my own wpa key at this point, but really bigger picture i want to be better with networks and network security. [20:05] SunTsu: He has 3 ntfs partitions so... [20:05] ^ [20:06] So he's trying to move something from 1 partition to another. So he has to mount both, not just his windows? right? [20:06] I like guessing games ;) [20:06] SunTsu: Airious Looks like 3 ntfs partitions, sda1 sda2 and sda3 (sda3 being the largest) [20:07] that sounds right [20:07] I have a windows partition linux partition and just an open partition [20:07] usr13: is sda3 mount?

I have removed them and restarted and this didn't work. I tried to apt-get clean and re-downloaded everything again, and the same 2 files gave errors. [20:11] Airious: there lots of basic documentation, tons of it, just use google [20:11] I am currently trying to upgrade with an ISO , but it keeps trying to download the same fiels even though I specify not to use the internet [20:11] Airious: you won't get aircrack help here, please stop [20:11] The problem I find is I cannot just read a manual or what not and learn it... I need a project that takes me ona journey, which is what this has been ;) [20:12] im not liking unity, and gnome classic isn't the same [20:12] I did not think I would get aircrack help, I was more worried about the drive location ;) [20:12] Jeaton: Same, I use openbox. [20:12] anyoone have any suggestions ? [20:12] Jeaton: There are plenty of other window managers. [20:12] i even resorted to kde, which I really regret [20:12] ill try openbox [20:13] Jeaton: Try xfce sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [20:13] NyvenZA: you can only upgrade with the Alternate version i believe, if you are trying to upgrade with a cd [20:13] Jeaton: http://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/ [20:13] Have fun, I enjoy it.

[20:15] NyvenZA: LTS is a pretty good place to be, IMHO. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS [20:15] Well, I just wanted to get to the latest versions [20:16] NyvenZA: Okay. [20:16] NyvenZA: so you want to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 (4 hours) then to 11.04 (other 4) and finally to 11.10(do the maths) ¿¿ [20:16] NyvenZA: you either want to do that Or do a Fresh install [20:16] nope, i upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and then to 11.04 already [20:16] just the last step to 11.10 that is not working [20:17] sounds like a lot of wasted time :/ [20:17] what is the best way to install open project on ubuntu 10.4 [20:17] My initial probelm was that after upgrading java-headless, the system was extreamlyt unstable. [20:17] NyvenZA: couldn't you back your data up and just do a fresh install of 11.10? [20:17] i had to install 11.04 upgrade 11.10 because 11.10 doesn't install for me (linux 3.0 only) [20:17] TalonLite: that is a last resort. [20:17] NyvenZA: As xangua points out, you need to do incremental upgrade, and you should start with fully updated system before performing an additional distribution upgrade. [20:18] lots of time spent custmizing stuff and didn't want to go through that pain again [20:18] so their sometimes are reasons for the circuitous route [20:18] usr13: I am already up to date on 11.04 [20:18] no more updates available [20:18] NyvenZA: Okay [20:19] hello, how to copy alsa configure and reconfigure this?

[20:23] usr13: like I said, I didi a apt-get clean and re-downloaded all 300 files again and this files give the same error again [20:23] hi enrichedd [20:23] NyvenZA: Maybe it just went down and will be back later. (Could be a problem with the server.) [20:23] nyven [20:23] NyvenZA: its possible that the file is corrupt on that mirror. Try a different one.

(: [21:12] TIMiDo, the no not really was to nave_ [21:12] oh [21:13] damn those are big h/d [21:13] TIMiDo, seems like after install sda became sdb [21:13] hi!

[21:13] why do you have to linux partitions borillion ubuntu/debian? [21:13] borillion, not unless is not mount it [21:14] timido so it wont let me format the running os pretty much [21:14] the Running os no [21:14] but run the live cd [21:14] kk [21:14] and run the gparted [21:14] no I dont want to do that, I want to format the unused one for extra space [21:15] like i said, boot with the live cd [21:15] try the os [21:15] Hey guys, quick question. I have oneiric and use krusader to access smb shares, I ran apt-get upgrade this afternoon and now I get an error saying the smb protocol is not registered. When I google it, it tells me to install some package for kio-slaves handling for kde, but this package is not available for ubuntu. Any idea how I can add smb support to KDE apps? [21:16] TIMiDo, you can just run gparted from the term after installing it [21:16] and mess with the partitions or now run gparted as sudo to see if it does allows you to shrink the side [21:16] TIMiDo, lol actually Im done, hopefully I didn't have grub on the other drive, rebooting to see [21:17] ok reboot [21:17] we hope you'll be back === MaleficIrish is now known as mi_ [21:18] I'm loathe to repost my question.

[21:21] thanks for the assistance everyone who helped, ubuntu has been nice for many years, sad it came to this, moving to different distro [21:21] shiloh, how come? [21:21] xb_chad did you try searching debian distro's and see if you could not download it? [21:22] borillion: im going to move to something a little more friendly, this release is just not my thing, i hate the de, and dont want to leave gnome, perhaps ubuntus next release will be something usable [21:23] shiloh, install gnome-fallback [21:23] yeah or use xfce4 [21:23] is cool [21:23] !nounity [21:23] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:23] borillion: download what? [21:24] xb_chad, http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=kio [21:24] xb_chad, you can use command line to get the dependencies needed if you dont have them when you download the deb [21:25] shiloh, I kinda agree with you, Unity was not ready for release and prob still isn't [21:25] borillion: Ah. You're suggesting I install some 'kio' utilities? Does it matter that I'm not running KDE? (though I'd be willing to switch to make this work). === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance [21:26] xb_chad: you can run Qt / KDE apps without having KDE installed [21:26] you can...

It says there's a replacement... "kde-runtime-data"? [21:29] xb_chad: try apt-get install kde-runtime-data [21:29] ^^ [21:29] with sudo of course [21:29] xb_chad: sudo apt-get install kde-runtime-data [21:30] your problem sounds related to mine [21:30] borillion: yeah, what packages are for Debian, sometimes get replaced/renamed in Ubuntu :P [21:30] how can i get my sound card to play both a youtube video and also be able to talk to someone on skype. it seems the resources can handle only one at a time. note, this is on another persons computer. [21:30] Yep, installing now. Let's see what I get... [21:30] or youtube video and gmail. [21:31] hmmm, I just installed pretty much every kde package, still not working :/ [21:31] Ok, installed... But not sure what that got me, actually. [21:31] Am I looking for some new GUI utility, or was that just libraries? [21:31] xb_chad: that's the required runtime libraries [21:31] EvilResistance, kio-slaves = I/O slaves for KDE [21:31] Ok [21:32] borillion: i gathered that [21:32] EvilResistance, kk [21:32] borillion: my original statement remains the same :/ [21:32] Hi guys, I have an internal fax modem in my computer. I don't think it's on ttyS0 because it doesn't respond to efax. How can I ensure it is recognized by ubuntu? Something like lsusb I can do?

You could try checking the emacs site [21:35] to fix dependencies [21:36] TIMiDo: thanks, I'll give it a look. [21:36] borillion, EvilResistance: how do I figure out which ttySx it's on? [21:36] no problem tech2 [21:37] Ok, does anybody know a file manager that works well under ubuntu and can access smb shares? [21:37] wh1t3: nautilus? if you configure smb shares right it should be able to open it... [21:38] !Rulez [21:38] EvilResistance: the configuring is not up to me, but they are accessible [21:38] try naulitus [21:38] wh1t3: then nautilus should work [21:38] Jlo1978: can we help you? [21:38] EvilResistance: it appears my window manager (dwm) has some issues with nautilus [21:40] Stepnjump, not sure [21:40] what libraries do I need to use vlc with a qt4 skin? [21:40] borillion, it's possible no driver was found for it. I think it's a winmodem. Might need to buy a new one for ubuntu [21:41] How could I tell if a driver was found for it borillion? === Angus_ is now known as angguss [21:41] Stepnjump, which driver is it? [21:41] specified the (driver) [21:41] wh1t3: tried something a little more orthodox, like "Worker"? [21:41] Stepnjump: it might be using a generic driver... [21:41] TiMiDo, I don't know.. That's what I would like to know. If it has a driver associated with it [21:42] Stepnjump, lsmod [21:42] that lists the drivers :P [21:42] well loaded ones at least, if it got picked up [21:42] tech2: not familiar with that, let me have a look [21:42] Stepnjump, sudo lspci check it there or tail | dmesg [21:42] wh1t3: if not, then maybe thunar, rox or xfce? [21:43] wh1t3: not sure if they all support smb, but they're good starting points. [21:43] Stepnjump, you can always use pastebin and put your results in there so we can look :P [21:43] EvilResistance.. maybe.. borillion, http://paste.ubuntu.com/780314/ [21:44] hello, who starts depmod -a in ubunto at boot time [21:44] Stepnjump, can you do a sudo lspci -v? [21:45] Stepnjump, dont see anything in lsmod that looks like it might be a fax modem [21:45] Wow, I would never know how to read this TIMiDo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/780317/ [21:46] Why is the resolution i need almost never featured in the drop down list of the monitor preferences GUI? How would I add it there permanently? [21:46] borillion: http://paste.ubuntu.com/780318/ [21:46] stephenh, specified your error [21:46] nicofs: start by diagnosing your graphics card. what graphics card? [21:46] ca nayone help me [21:47] EvilResistance, shared intel GMA950 or something similar... [21:47] !ask | xubuntu499 [21:47] xubuntu499: 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 [21:47] borillion: it sees it under lspci but that doesn't mean necessarily that it has a driver associated with it I guess, right? [21:47] how can i get my sound card to play both a youtube video and also be able to talk to someone on skype. it seems the resources can handle only one at a time. note, this is on another persons computer. or gmail. how do i go about finding the issue? where to begin. [21:47] nicofs: you might want to start by checking for any proprietary drivers... [21:47] tech2: Worker doesn't seem to support smb [21:47] nicofs: if that doesnt work, it might need some hacking away in some file somewhere, but i'm not familiar with what that file is [21:48] my main problem is that krusader as working fine this afternoon and now it has stopped :/ [21:48] wh1t3: shame, some of the other orthodox ones do, depends if that's your kind of thing though: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-best-orthodox-file-managers-for-linux-605506 [21:48] Stepnjump, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6898964&postcount=3 [21:48] EvilResistance, i know how to add the resolution manually - but i'm sick and tired of doing that *every* time i start this thing... [21:49] borillion: sorry I didn't prefix the lsusb -v with sudo: here is the new cout: http://paste.ubuntu.com/780324/ [21:49] nicofs: ah, well i'm not sure how to help you freeze the file then... sorry [21:49] Stepnjump, this is what to do http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6898964&postcount=3 [21:49] Stepnjump, has drivers and how to install [21:49] thanks for the link borillion. awesome! [21:50] EvilResistance: Hmm.. I played around and haven't had any luck. Now that I have those libraries, any suggestions on how to send one input device to a specific window? [21:50] nicofs: locking a file so it can't be modified is simple, if that's what you really want. [21:50] So how did you find out borillion that the drivers were not already installed please? [21:50] just so I know for the future [21:50] I bought a new modem router today (A-LINK RR24AP-N) and as soon as I got online with it, I wasn't able to go to my modem/router settings anymore. How can I fix this? [21:50] xb_chad: i'm not familiar with kio or w/e you're using, so i cant help much more than i did [21:50] tech2, i want "1280x720" to be available - that's all... [21:50] Good evening [21:50] EvilResistance: I don't have to use kio :). What do you mean by w/e? [21:51] xb_chad: shortened form of "whatever" [21:51] nicofs: that's the only addition you have to make, not changing the driver or anything like that? [21:51] Could someone perhaps briefly assist me with installing firefox 9 in Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit [21:52] tech2, well everything works - at least as far as graphics is concerned - i just lack this particular resolution... [21:52] been at it the whole day but it run-mozilla.sh just won't execute. [21:52] EvilResistance: Ah. Well then maybe I should have said I don't know what I'm using yet! I'm open to any proposed solution to my problem. [21:53] :P [21:53] Stepnjump, look in your lsmod I didn't see anything with "com" in it [21:53] nicofs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions maybe? [21:53] nicofs cvt 1280 720 then copy the part starting with " to xrandr --addmode "part from other line" [21:53] Stepnjump, that was my quess as to what it would have looked similar to [21:54] I installed Opera without a problem, does anyone know if there is a debian package for firefox 9 [21:54] I've thought, actually, about seeing if I could run a separate X server, since the window I want to send it to is full screen on a 2nd monitor (well, faux full screen). [21:54] media: I believe mozilla have a ppa for firefox. [21:54] The tar.bz2 package is extractable but not runnable [21:54] nicofs{} sorry --newmode [21:54] I'm sort of new so I'm learning as I go. Let me check it out borillion [21:55] A ppa? I have never heard of that (noob alert :) [21:55] MahaVishnu, that's fine - but i have to do that every time i start - and that for a completely standard resolution...

I will read the man pages on them. thanks a lot borillion. Let me try to install the drivers from the URL you sent me. I will let you know soon [21:55] nicofs{} no you don't have to do it every time. [21:55] Stepnjump, also try "ls /dev/modem'" nothing will show [21:56] kk [21:56] MahaVishnu, I have a script performing the above task - and if i don't run it every time, i don't get the resolution...

[21:59] indeed borillion: http://paste.ubuntu.com/780331/ [21:59] media: you trying to run a script? have you made it executable? [21:59] nope no script [21:59] !info ia32-libs [21:59] Package ia32-libs does not exist in oneiric [21:59] just trying to tunnel port 563 so that it can use the IP of my server rather than my IP [21:59] there is your answer ;P [21:59] tech2: mucommander does the job nicely, thanks a lot man, appreciate it :) [21:59] xubuntu499: not really a ubuntu question. but http://oldsite.precedence.co.uk/nc/putty.html [22:00] wh1t3: no problem, glad some people still prefer that style manager. [22:00] ya you're righ it's not but still i'm using ubuntu for my ssh server [22:00] couldn't live without dwm and a proper file manager :) [22:00] @Auronandace, Face palm... Thanx for the info. [22:01] what is the preferred way to set up a custom command to exec at startup? will /etc/rc.local work with unity? [22:01] media: chmod+x nameofscript.sh [22:01] i mean, upstart [22:01] media: only run it if you trust the script [22:01] wh1t3: I can't remember the last time I used a file manager, I used to love Directory Opus on my amiga, but that's been >a decade since I used it :) Learn the shell bash/zsh/fish, whatever, it'll repay the investment tenfold. [22:02] MahaVishnu, shouldn't that be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [22:02] tech2: I mostly use shell, but I'm on a university network, there are smb shares that are searchable via browser. So I want to be able to click it and have it open my filemanager to the location. [22:03] wh1t3: fair enough. [22:03] Downloaded it from the Firefox website so that shoudn't be the problem. I just can't get it to run. I think I might have the wrong linux package. [22:03] Althoug I tried both 9.01 and 10.01 (beta) [22:03] tech2: If this had not worked I would have scripted something to mount in a random dir and cd to that [22:04] There is no actual installer inside. Just an executable run-mozilla.sh [22:04] And that one won't run [22:05] media: i don't bother with firefox anymore, i just use chromium [22:05] me too [22:05] :) [22:05] I'll check it out. [22:05] if I have some keys on here, http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Oday+Maleh&op=index [22:05] can I import one of them to my machine and retain it as my own?

[22:17] insectatorious, neh, trolling is no fun [22:18] l [22:18] hi all! does anyone know where skype p2p file transfers end up? I cant find the skype download folder [22:18] veezyuser, excellent, that's one letter, try the others :) [22:19] rahduke: I believe the default folder is Downloads [22:19] missing the file [22:19] rahduke: can you see the file transfer window atm? [22:19] In nautilus, there has to be a shortcut to create a new document right? CTRL - N opens a new nautilus window, CTRL SHFT N creates a new folder [22:19] rahduke, if you know the filename, you can use some command line magic to find it [22:19] Can't stand using the mouse [22:19] insectatorious: (and all others) I don't think it is being "politically correct" to try and keep the channel from veering off-topic. (Passiontely Christian) [22:19] no file transfer window is gone [22:20] Seveas: i do know the filename [22:20] usr13: acknowledge :D [22:20] rahduke, open a terminal window and type this: find -iname "filename goes here" [22:20] dear all, this will seem like a stupid question, but I never used the hibernate mode and was wondering, is it normal for the system to reboot after hibernate when I press the laptop's power button (that's what I did with suspend and it works just great)? [22:20] p.s. I'm running 11.10 [22:21] ederico, hibernate is quite hit and miss. It never works for me [22:21] Seveas: no dice [22:21] it's not supposed to reboot but be a more deeper sleep than suspend [22:21] rahduke, try roulette instead then ;) [22:21] ederico: No it is not normal. But as Seveas points out, hibernate doesn't always function as expected. [22:21] ya i don't think it should reboot it should resume after hibernation [22:23] one thing that will definitely make hibernate fail: having your swap be smaller than your memory. (as it wants to store all memory contents on the swap partition), or using an encrypted swap partition (like any sane person does) [22:23] any other help? [22:24] you said this was a laptop not a desktop? [22:24] rahduke: did it really transfer? [22:25] yea i got it! was looking for wrong file name [22:25] hehe [22:25] thanks all [22:29] @Seveas I just recreated my swap partition to use hibernate, and it is double my ram (4GB swap for 2GB ram), I really don't how if it is encrypted [22:30] ederico, it's not encrypted by default yet I think [22:32] Seveas: Then I guess it is not encrypyed. Anyways, I'm reckoning that the hibernate function is highly unstable then, I might just have to stick to suspend then. [22:32] ederico, highly unstable would be what I'd call it too. Whether it works is very hardware dependent [22:33] and with current bootup times I don't even bother with suspend anymore, I just shut down :) [22:33] ederico: hibernate works just fine for some, for others, it seems to be a problem. [22:34] Seveas: Unfortunately my system boots up slowly, quite an old laptop. I'll try hibernate a few more times but if it doesn't deliver as expected I'll keep using suspend [22:34] usr13: thanks for your input [22:34] Seveas: thanks for explaining [22:34] yw [22:35] I want to install KDE as if I had installed it and gnome ate the same time. what is the best way to do this? [22:35] xubuntu499: thanks to you too [22:36] hello, hoping to get some help with this one: just reinstalled an ubuntu server, only one hard drive was connected during setup, second one connected after (contains documents), I did an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 (now with second hard drive connected but not mounted) now when i come to mount the drive all files are gone and directory listing gives: [22:36] abi-2.6.35-22-generic-pae memtest86+.bin abi-2.6.35-28-generic-pae memtest86+_multiboot.bin config-2.6.35-22-generic-pae System.map-2.6.35-22-generic-pae config-2.6.35-28-generic-pae System.map-2.6.35-28-generic-pae grub vmcoreinfo-2.6.35-22-generic-pae initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic-pae vmcoreinfo-2.6.35-28-generic-pae initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic-pae vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic-pa [22:36] spam!

[22:52] quint, i guess your running windows or mac then = [22:52] all of my contacts were spammed [22:52] hehehe [22:52] Seveas, when will it be ready.? [22:52] how can I ignore someone? [22:52] sounds like a phising scam to me [22:52] thanks pangolin [22:52] no im pretty sure it was a virus [22:52] quint: That is not a Linux or Ubuntu issue. [22:53] Hey how can you reuse terminal after it has been used to run a program [22:53] how can i check for viruses? [22:53] usr13, well, it is if it is a virus. [22:53] quint: there are no viruses in Linux [22:53] quint: I am pretty sure you are wrong. [22:53] quint, what kind of contacts? facebook, gmail twitter? [22:53] there are viruses actually... [22:53] retrorex: is the first program still running? [22:53] quint, try clamav [22:53] yes [22:53] well it it's a virus on a ubuntu system that makes it a ubuntu/linux problem indeed! [22:53] anyone know if its possible to email files to dropbox? [22:53] gribouille: You can try this http://www.noobslab.com/2011/12/install-firefox-9-on-ubuntu.html [22:53] !av | quint [22:53] quint: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [22:53] hey, how do you get out of fallback mode? [22:53] @insect* yes [22:54] retrorex, you'll want to look at screen [22:54] see? [22:54] http://linux.die.net/man/1/screen [22:54] no viruses [22:54] retrorex: so you can't see the prompt because the program is running? [22:54] without using clamav are there any things i can check ? [22:54] quint, have a look at http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/ [22:54] <_Neytiri_> I am having a issue with my system, my old install of 10.4 crashed on me and when i reinstalled i my raid array didnt come back online, i copied the fstab file and rebooted and still no luck, all my drives came back but my raided drives, it was a software raid consisting of 2 phisical 2 tb disks, 3 drives created off of them 1 4gb drive and 2 900somethign gig drives [22:54] quint, yes, whether your contact info could have been retrieved in any other way, say by knowning your facebook password [22:54] well, unless you caught it in Windows, but it's not executable in linux anyways so no worries [22:55] hotmail** [22:55] alien2050: You can totally get a virus on Linux. It's just that hardly anyone makes them, and the speed at which you can update makes it mostly moot. [22:55] why is firefox 9 available as a security update an not a regular uodate? [22:55] retrorex: as in, once the program has started running, are you able to run other commands or has the first stopped you from doing that? [22:55] The thing is that after running for ex: $ epiphany . .. I want my command line back in terminal [22:55] i ran an untrusted script as root [22:55] alien2050: So generally, no, but technically, yes. [22:55] quint, a much more likely cause is that someone guessed or phished your hotmail password. Change it right away. [22:55] stupidly [22:55] append a '&' after the command and it will run in the background [22:55] do you have that script still? [22:55] retrorex: start the program in the background, like epiphany & [22:56] it was either a script or a binary [22:56] Sort of anything like "q" in terminal [22:56] im unable to download clamav as im on a slow network [22:56] sskalnik: nah... I don't believe that... worse would be a port opened or a malevolent script that you run [22:56] retrorex: [22:56] retrorex: append a '&' after the command and it will run in the background [22:56] but something that attaches to binaries in Linux... I don't think so [22:57] hi everyone [22:57] hello [22:57] retrorex, if you are interested in learning more about job control in the shell (which is what that & sign, ctrl-z and bg are all about), read this: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Job-Control [22:57] with which command can I ignore someone here? [22:57] Star_Light, /ignore some_nick_here [22:57] anyone experience with a adaptec raid card and ubuntu [22:57] If you replace a binary, then yes, but it's a security issue in the first place, not a virus [22:57] yes I push it [22:57] a virus replicates... [22:57] how can i mount my raid partitions [22:57] with no result finally :/ [22:58] @insect* works like a charm ..Thanks [22:58] no worries [22:58] alien2050: Believe it or not, it is the state of things. UNIXes have been infected before. [22:58] retrorex: check out the link from Seveas, it should tell you more if you need [22:58] @Seveas reading .... thanks [22:58] are there any things i can look for in dmesg that would indicate some type of keylogger? [22:58] hmm, I'm upgrading to precise and my fonts are going all wonky during the upgrade [22:59] More things may fail :) [22:59] alien2050: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware [22:59] quint, usually not. The process list may tell you more. Feel free to pastebin it and I'll see if I can spot something [23:00] From your quote: "the malware's lack of root access" <- that's what I'm saying. If you implement good security, no risk [23:00] alien2050, there are tons of linux viruses out there already [23:01] alien2050: if you have _any_ sort of access to a box, root's a mere step away. [23:01] admittedly, they all target android, but it's still linux viruses. [23:01] Seveas how can i cleanly dump the output of top to a file? [23:01] ok ok don't freak out cuz I'm not a believer [23:02] quint: terminalcommandhere > filenamehere [23:02] quint, I wouldn't use top, but: ps axuf [23:02] Seveas: When people are getting spammed from your email address and you are not doing it, what is more-than-likely done from another computer and the email addresses were harvested from an email that had a lot of addresses in the To: field (That is why I advise people to use Bcc:) At any rate, it is an erroneous assumption that one has a virus just because people are getting spam from their address. [23:02] if you want to use top anyway: top -b -n1 -c [23:02] usr13, I know that. I'm not the one claiming there's a virus on my pc [23:02] The worst malware on my pc is me :) [23:03] Ok, then, to-whom-it-may-concern [23:03] back in a bit, rebooting after upgrade [23:03] Seveas: then the malware has root access... sounds like a rather nasty virus. ;) [23:04] hello :) [23:05] back [23:05] <_Neytiri_> I am having a issue with my system, my old install of 10.4 crashed on me and when i reinstalled i my raid array didnt come back online, i copied the fstab file and rebooted and still no luck, all my drives came back but my raided drives, it was a software raid consisting of 2 phisical 2 tb disks, 3 drives created off of them 1 4gb driv (raid 0) and 2 998 gig drives (raid 1). Under the Disk [23:05] <_Neytiri_> utility i try to start the raid and get the error: not enough componunts to start the raid array [23:05] here is my process list, please take a look at it to see if you may know of anything strange that could possibly indicate a virus [23:05] pastebin.com/4S6gXGNw [23:05] sskalnik, yes, it's pretty nasty. Can do a whole lot of damage. It also knows all my passwords! [23:06] quint: if you have something that has taken over your machin, chances are that it's also loaded a kernel module and replaced things like ps. Anything you show us is worthless. Boot from cdrom or something _then_ try looking at your system. [23:07] quint: you could always try running rkhunter, but if your system is infected, it might not work right [23:07] * EvilResistance recommends rkhunter ;P [23:07] quint: You have embarked on a witch hunt. You more-than-likely do not have a virus. But, why exactly do you think you do? [23:07] i have a feeling i may just have to reinstall when i get a chance [23:07] rkhunter is fine if you're running it from an external (non-affected) boot medium. [23:07] quint, apart from 'mousepad', nothing looks wrong there. Is mousepad the xfce editor? [23:07] yes [23:08] quint, then everything looks a-ok, I'm convinced that they got your contact list in some other way [23:08] if you have a rtkit, chances are you wont be able to get rid of it, re-install would be better, and some times, there are false positives that confuse noobies. [23:08] i am on an open network.. though the chances of someone knowing what they're doing on that network are very very slim [23:09] quint: Odds are only your email password was compromised. I would change it to something more secure. [23:09] quint: Have you ever received an email with a lot of email addresses in the To: field? [23:09] i did change it, unfortunately i was locked out by microsoft [23:10] sskalnik: That's probably not it either. [23:10] they want my mobile phone number [23:10] screw that.. [23:10] microsoft is not getting my number [23:10] sskalnik: His email address is being spoofed. (It is very easy to spoof an email address.) [23:10] usr13 the messages were logged on the webmail [23:11] someone definitely logged in and manually did it themself [23:11] oooh, ubuntu precise has firefox 10 already. Time to update the highest supported version in my extensions again [23:11] I'm trying to automount a partion and have the following line in fstab: UUID=07c49252-2262-4e19-a9c7-98c30da5a490 /backup ext4 Fsw 0 2 [23:11] That about correct? [23:11] no [23:11] usr13: I was about to say, that's the other likely possibility. [23:12] DarkStar1, Fsw makes no sense. try defaults [23:12] i'm thinking ill run wireshark for awhile and take a look at some packets to see if there are any unusual ones.. in which case ill just have to block the connecting host [23:13] ill route them to 127 [23:13] Seveas: F for fork mounting, s for tolerance to sloppy mounts and w to make it writeable. No defaults are specified and I must put something in that field [23:14] does that sound like it would work? [23:14] DarkStar1, the word defaults there means [23:15] DarkStar1, the word defaults there means rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async. [23:15] you don't need sloppy or forked with that [23:15] Seveas: Ok [23:15] quint: Your email address is more than likely beeing spoofed. Many spammers use spoofed email addresses and that is more-than-likely what is happening now. (Just a couple days ago, I got a spam email from a friend of mine that passed away almost 2 years ago.) [23:15] usr13 spoofing would not log it in the hotmail web interface [23:16] usr13, ouch. I usually only get spam from my "email administrators". [23:16] it all appeared in my outbox [23:16] Seveas: hhmm.. funny it doesnèt mention that as an option in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [23:16] quint: check your mail headers to know if that's the case [23:16] Which is weird 'cause I don't remember me sending that mail to myself :-) [23:16] <_Neytiri_> I am having a issue with my system, my old install of 10.4 crashed on me and when i reinstalled i my raid array didnt come back online, i copied the fstab file and rebooted and still no luck, all my drives came back but my raided drives, it was a software raid consisting of 2 phisical 2 tb disks, 3 drives created off of them 1 4gb driv (raid 0) and 2 998 gig drives (raid 1). Under the Disk [23:16] <_Neytiri_> utility i try to start the raid and get the error: not enough componunts to start the raid array [23:16] quint: What email client do you use? [23:16] DarkStar1, the manpage for mount mentions it [23:17] Seveas: so I changed the line to: /backup ext4 defaults 0 2 [23:17] DarkStar1, and I trust manpages over wikipages [23:17] not a local client, used the hotmail web login [23:17] minus the uuid [23:17] quint: Or do you use web-based email? [23:17] I'd do 0 0, but 0 2 works too [23:18] i use hotmail (for some reason i dont know) and signed in through the website [23:18] *should* be secure against sniffers [23:18] Seveas: thx [23:18] quint: Ok, so someone sent email from the web-based hotmail server, not from your computer. Right? [23:18] from the hotmail server [23:18] i feel like i have a keylogger [23:19] quint, sounds to me like somebody knows your password. keylogger or otherwise [23:19] I know google has this feature, not sure about hotmail, but does hotmail tell you how many places you're logged in from? [23:19] not that i am aware of [23:20] how can i block an ip address locally? [23:20] I succesfully setup Postfix acording to these directions. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix I setup Evolution to send mail through it. I tried using it to send a test email to my gmail account. No errors from Evolution. It seemed to send successfully. How ever I never received the email in my gmail account. Any ideas what I might have done wrong? [23:20] How do I obtain the PATH to a given program when it has no environment variable? [23:20] is there a way to essentially split a large iso to burn across multiple dvds? [23:20] quint, for incoming or outgoing traffic? [23:20] quint, block packets coming from it or going to it? [23:20] :P [23:20] going to it [23:20] sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d ip.address.here -j DROP [23:20] thannnnk you. [23:20] :) [23:21] quint, I think you can also but it in /etc/hosts.deny [23:21] i am trying to tunnel NNTP via ssh and can't seem to get it to work i know ports < 1024 are reserved but i want to tunnel 563 to my server's ip address [23:21] edbian, that's for incoming packets, but only for services that use that file (read: it's practically useless) === misha is now known as Guest89365 [23:21] Seveas, oh, can you tell me why this isn't redirecting all traffic to port 80 to port 5984: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 5984 [23:22] Seveas, ahh, never knew that [23:22] I'm testing on just the lo interface (source 127.0.0.1, dest 127.0.0.1) [23:22] I forget, what's that command used when you pipe something over to it, and it filters out the results, for say, the locate command? [23:22] xyz123abc456, grep? [23:22] Yes thank you. [23:22] xyz123abc456, sure [23:22] a lot of people have had problems with hotmail recently, people have had their accounts "hacked", actually happened to someone close to me; she had MS support, I even called MS and they said it was on our side, which was sooooooo funny, I had the email headers to prove it but they didn't want them... ah! MS.... you always make me laugh... [23:22] dark, that should redirect packets... [23:22] dark, ah, the lo interface doesn't do NAT [23:23] can i use that itables and direct everything over SSL port 563? [23:23] Seveas, oh.... thanks. what should I do? [23:23] I'm using socat and it works, but it's ugly [23:23] gonna go try it [23:23] xubuntu499: netfilter [23:23] dark, test with your real ip, from the outside [23:23] thanks guys [23:23] Yay I found it. [23:24] xubuntu499: iptaqbles [23:24] Seveas, I want it for exactly the lo interface [23:24] iptables [23:24] dark, http://jengelh.medozas.de/images/nf-packet-flow.png [23:24] and how do i tunnel nntp port 563 [23:24] Seveas, that was helpful. my biggest problem is that I don't quite understand what's going on [23:25] xubuntu499: yes [23:25] Is there any way to reset an admin password on 10.10? I have absolutely no idea what I set it as and I can't rememember it at all. [23:25] L551: There is no admin password, only user password [23:25] dark, look in the "forward path" column at the top for "local process" and follow the arrows. nat prerouting is never reached fromthere [23:26] L551, There is no root password in ubuntu by default [23:26] dark, you're not generating ingress traffic, so can't do NAT [23:26] but if you only want it on localhost, you control the application, so why not just let it connect to the correct port? [23:26] Well, the user password needed. I am trying to log in to my account but forgot what it is. And I assumed it was the admin account but I guess it's just a user. [23:27] ssh -L 10563:nntphostcomputer:563 doesn't seem to work for me [23:27] L551: sudo passwd username [23:27] any idea why? [23:27] !password | xubuntu499 [23:27] xubuntu499: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [23:27] L551, You can't recover a user password but you can get all the files using a live CD [23:27] L551, add rw init=/bin/bash to boot parameter and when booted, type passwd username [23:28] omg! [23:28] You can do that?! [23:28] i didn't know that either [23:28] edbian, yes. But you need to mount -o remount,rw / first though :) [23:28] I've even written a script to help you do that from a live cd [23:28] edbian, in 10.10 and older but not in newer versions. its just a matter of booting to recovery console in newer [23:29] You can also just boot recovery mode which dumps you at a root shell [23:29] https://github.com/seveas/hacks/blob/master/reset_passwords [23:29] according to the link [23:29] mongy, yeah! [23:29] how can i tunnel 563 should i just tunnel say 10563 instead and have it forward to 563?? [23:29] Seveas, I don't quite control it. (I mean, I could bugtrack chrome to understand why it refuses to allow cross scripts on extensions to ports other than 80 on its manifest.json... or, I could see on how to add the capability "listen to low ports" to couchdb user using maybe SElinux or something like that.... but both those tasks seems harder than redirecting ports) [23:29] I want to add a user to sudoers but there's no group admin in /etc/group ... what can I do? [23:30] dark, in that case, use socat :) [23:30] Seveas, long story short: no port redirection for local connections [23:30] ? [23:30] dark, affirmative [23:31] so my other question would be: where to put the socat command? will upstart respect /etc/rc.local as of ubuntu 11.10? [23:31] felipe_, look harder. Unless you manually took it out, it's still in there [23:31] (I am just a reboot away from testing that :P) [23:31] felipe_Brz, look harder, unless you manually took it out, it's still in there [23:32] felipe_Brz, log in as a user that can sudo. Is admin listed in the output of 'groups' ?? [23:32] dark, I believe it still does [23:32] edbian: I may have manually taken it out.... I was following a website where it was written that to add a user to a group you had to "adduser " but it's the other way around [23:32] edbian: let me see [23:32] hey... anyone know lftp well??? [23:33] felipe_Brz, ok [23:33] !anyone | madsen [23:33] madsen: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [23:33] edbian: i just did vim /etc/group and there's no admin group there [23:33] Seveas: tsk [23:33] madsen, :) [23:33] felipe_Brz, Is there a reference to the admin group in your /etc/sudoers? [23:34] felipe_Brz: Are you sure? grep admin /etc/group [23:34] usr13: yeah. i probably erased it [23:35] edbian: there is, but it's commented out [23:35] Anyone here using multipath and iSCSI on 11.10? [23:35] felipe_Brz, well at this point you can start adding users to the /etc/sudoers file manually or you can recreate the admin group, fix the sudoers file so it's not commented out, and add the users you want to that group [23:35] felipe_Brz, it's up to you :) [23:36] Even after resetting my password in recovery it's telling me it's wrong [23:36] L551, in recovery mode, did you do "passwd" or "passwd username" ? [23:37] Seveas, I will reboot and discover. thank you [23:37] felipe_Brz: grep admin /etc/group~ [23:37] passwd username [23:37] L551, then you've made a typo somewhere, retry :) [23:37] Anyone knows how to put gcc output into variable? [23:38] (bash) [23:38] How do I get ubuntu 10.10 to register the existence of an iphone ? [23:38] Guest89365, that's generally not a very good idea, but you'd do it like this: output=$(gcc foo.c) [23:38] Guest89365, var=`gcc command goes here` [23:38] I think [23:38] Guest89365, either that or with ' instead of ` [23:38] edbian, avoid using backticks. They don't nest :) [23:38] quote instead of tick [23:38] use $(...) [23:38] ahh [23:38] that's probably best but is bash specific I think [23:39] it's not [23:39] oh [23:39] there ya go! [23:39] it's part of the posix sh specification, even dash supports it :) [23:39] !iphone | bobdobbs [23:39] bobdobbs: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:40] usr13: I've been looking at that documentation, and it says that I should expect iphone support "out of the box". But this is not the case. [23:40] Hello, can you read this? [23:40] Neglect, no [23:40] usr13: when I plug my iphone in via USB, absolutely nothing happens. [23:40] :P [23:40] Neglect, unfortunately that's comepletely unreadable. [23:41] usr13: the phone doesn't light up or make a noise. banshee, amarok and gtkpod don't see the iphone. [23:41] how i can fix grub guys? [23:41] !grub | bambanx [23:41] bambanx: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [23:42] bobdobbs, switch the iphone from mtp to msc mode or the other way around [23:43] lftp -u username,password -e "mirror --reverse --delete --only-newer --verbose path/to/source_directory path/to/target_directory" ftpsite [23:43] how does one quit lftp after this?? [23:43] edbian: cool :) Not sure what that means, so I'm googling now. [23:43] you ladies have any idea?? [23:44] bobdobbs, mess around in the GUI of the ipod/phone (whatever). It's the difference between a jump drive and some special software storage device [23:44] bobdobbs, I can't remember which is which, usually switching it fixes things [23:44] edbian: interesting. [23:44] bobdobbs, yeah... I think apple refers to this as 'storage mode' or something in their gui's [23:44] madsen: exit [23:45] edbian: I See [23:45] usr13, didn't know you were a lady :) [23:45] usr13, You're a lady? Now I know to treat you differently! [23:45] Seveas: I didn't either (guess I fell for that one). [23:45] Gosh I've been making such a fool of myself. [23:46] weren't we all. [23:46] no worries, your secret is safe with us [23:46] usr13: have tried.. aint working... [23:46] madsen: man lftp [23:47] madsen: Ctrl-c (I dono, just guessing) But it should have quit after the exchange. [23:47] q [23:48] usr13: I mean I know its exit normally.. but this is in a script... e.g. backup of server 1 then exit and backup of server 2 via the script [23:48] edbian: So you reckon there is a gui element to make the iphone switch modes? [23:48] that I cant figure out [23:48] bobdobbs, yes [23:49] madsen: if you used the -e switch, it will execute the ggiven commands and not exit. If you use the -f or -c switches, it will execute the commands and then exit. [23:49] bobdobbs, I'm googling for it now [23:50] madsen: see: man lftp [23:50] edbian: thanks. Me too. [23:51] madsen: You will more-than-likely need to make adjustments to the script based on what you learn from lftp's man file. [23:51] bobdobbs, Ahh, I'm reading that iphones don't support mass storage mode: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052590 [23:51] !iphone [23:51] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:51] edbian: I see. [23:52] edbian: There must be a another solution. I've had this iphone working with older versions of ubuntu [23:52] bobdobbs, plug in the iphone. Do you see anything regarding the iphone in the output of th dmesg command after it's been plugged in? [23:52] lets see... [23:52] bobdobbs, I'm confident we'll get it working [23:53] Why do torrents stall near the end with QBTTorrent [23:53] bobdobbs: dmesg or messages? tail -f /var/log/messages #Run that while you plug it in. [23:54] edbian: no. no changes in dmesg. Does this mean that the kernel isn't seeing a physical device being added? [23:54] bobdobbs, that's excatly what it means [23:54] bobdobbs: anything in /var/log/messages ? [23:54] edbian: I'm absolutely certain that the USB port and the cable are fine. I've thorouly tested both. [23:54] edbian: Looking at log... [23:54] bobdobbs: Try another USB port. [23:54] qmanjr5, never happened with ubuntu + kubuntu torrents [23:55] bobdobbs, I was about to say, check the ports. Perhaps that USB port is not USB2.0 or does not provide power (therefore not activating the iphone) [23:55] bobdobbs, Is that possible? Try some other ports (ones on the back usually are the ones with power / usb2.0 [23:56] edbian: ok. changing ports now. [23:56] * bobdobbs crawls under desk [23:56] bobdobbs, obviously, check ports and dmesg at the same time [23:57] edbian: hah! [23:57] edbian: getting a response from the iphone now :) [23:58] when is 12.04 LTS to be released? [23:58] edbian: ok... testing stuff [23:58] bobdobbs, awesome! [23:58] edbian: and fspot just opened :) [23:58] next year, madsen [23:58] bobdobbs, works out of the box [23:58] roger [23:58] edbian: :) [23:58] madadam1, in april of 2012 [23:58] hence the 12.04 [23:58] ♪ Do you hear what I hear ♫ [23:58] ha [23:59] edbian: :-) Jan or Dec. ? :-) [23:59] edbian: This makes sense. Now that I think about it, when I had the iphone working before, on another computer, I was using ports from the back of my pc [23:59] ohh april [23:59] madsen, sorry? april [23:59] haha [23:59] yeah [23:59] bobdobbs, yeah :) [23:59] madsen, it goes Year.Month [23:59] apple devices are really picky in what they support. [23:59] edbian: I never knew that there was a difference between the back ports and the fron.
