[00:00] bfrazier_, cd the folder containing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders. then mkisofs -dvd-video -o ~/test.iso . [00:00] bfrazier_: why did you do that...? [00:00] mongy, arrrghhh ...here's the website I used: http://www.ehow.com/how_5772256_convert-avi-dvd-linux.html#ixzz1hX3r1jWk [00:00] bfrazier_, one word. devede [00:00] ehow is horrible [00:00] mongy, ...I used devede but it keeps saying my device isn't mounted [00:01] Hey every, I installed Ubuntu and accidentally broke grub by formatting the drive where grub was installed [00:01] bfrazier_: wow. ehow is awful. [00:01] arrrghhh, ....I thought that was useful [00:01] theSlow1 try using supergrubdisk [00:01] bfrazier_: complex guides like that require you to understand what each command is doing. it's awful they try to condense it into that, as if it will work for everyone. [00:02] bfrazier_, I thought you wanted to make a dvd from an avi... which is what devede can do [00:02] sebashtian, I would much rather avoid that, I used it some time back and it was useless [00:02] arrrghhh, ...well I understand a lot but the devil is in the details [00:02] Hello, anyone know Netbeans? [00:02] bfrazier_: devede is great, i would try it. [00:02] NeedHelp: this is for ubuntu help. not sure what channel to even direct you to. [00:02] arrrghhh, ...well I have tried deveede [00:02] metaspike: Hey, I have recovered my 'sudoers'. :) Though you should know. [00:02] NeedHelp yes why [00:03] arrrghhh: I use netbeans for ubuntu... [00:03] bfrazier_: how did it fail? [00:03] NeedHelp: o? sorry. [00:03] i use gcc and... a text editor. [00:03] sebashtian: alt-gr button doesnt work anymore suddenly, so I cant type characters like $, {, } etc. They work fine here as you see [00:04] arrrghhh, deveede results in "conversion failed it seems a bug of mencoder".... [00:04] bfrazier_: hum. honestly linux has always been weak in this department. [00:04] bfrazier_: not that it's impossible, just not "simple". [00:05] Hiz, Is there a way to make pidgen hidden on close every time rather than quitting it? [00:05] arrrghhh: really? [00:05] arrrghhh, yup, I'm beginning to realize that [00:05] so they only don't work in netbeans NeedHelp [00:05] yabai: yes, realy. [00:05] really* [00:05] arrrghhh: it has very little to do with linux - more to do with proprietary systems [00:05] bfrazier_, I use devede quite regularly to put 3 or 4 avi to a dvd. [00:05] sebashtian: yes, if I press AltGr+4, I should get a dollar sign like $, but in NetBeans, 4 appears [00:06] yabai: ok... so linux doesn't work well with proprietary systems? does that make you feel better? === soreau_ is now known as soreau [00:06] NeedHelp by "altg" od you mean shift? [00:06] mongy, ...do you want me to remove devede and compile from source...I'm at a loss with that error message [00:06] Hiz, Is there a way to make pidgen hidden on close every time rather than quitting it guys? [00:07] sebashtian, alt is sometimes referred to as alt-gr [00:07] Kiten: but who hits alt to get a $? :P [00:07] paulsomebody im glad to hear that. you might want to activate the root acc so you can use the traditional "su" as well [00:07] Arcademan: you can install pidgin-libnotify to integrate it to the message indicator (envelope) [00:07] sebashtian: not shift, but the Alt-button just right for Space-button, the one you need in combination with the number button at the top of the keyb to enter special characters like ¦@£$½¥{[]} etc [00:08] Arcademan: after install it you need to start pidgin again and enable the libnotify plugin on it's preferences [00:08] metaspike: I read it it not very good idea from the point of view of security. [00:08] bfrazier_, might be something to do with codecs or the installed version of mencoder.. have you medibuntu enabled? [00:08] hello all I have a question I have a 2 terabyte hd formated in ntfs that has 995gig of data on it that I am trying to copy off to another drive so I can reformat it in ext4 but it keeps locking up my ubuntu box is there any way to do it besides a few files at a time [00:08] paulsomebody: yea that's usually not a good idea. [00:08] mongy, what is mediabutu ? [00:08] arrrghhh, yeah thats true [00:09] arrrghhh, prolly someone with a efffed up keyboard [00:09] arrrghhh: Yes, I know. [00:09] paulsomebody: good ;) [00:09] bfrazier_, sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && [00:09] sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:09] lol [00:09] worst case scenario use unicode [00:09] paulsomebody, depends how you use it, it doesnt matter with sudo working you can "sudo su" to get the root account if you like [00:09] Ok so xangua that runs no matter if its closed then :) once enabled and configured? [00:10] metaspike: I am sure that there is probably a way to use everything safely, including this command. I just do not see why I should do it. [00:10] bfrazier_, I use that version.. the non free version. [00:10] NeedHelp aah i see yeah i have no idea how to fix that :p it sounds like somehting to do with either java or your keyboard settings , but you probaly already knew that [00:11] mongy, ...I honestly think it has something to do with vbox not recognzing that my dvd is installed...how would I troubleshoot that? [00:11] paulsomebody, of course. when running a lot of administrative tasks, it's really just a way to avoid typing "sudo" all the time :) [00:11] bfrazier_, devede doesnt burn, just makes an iso [00:11] does anyone know how to fix a cd drive that stopped working, it will still eject and spin and stuff but ubuntu doesn't recognize when ever i insert anything in it [00:12] metaspike: I imagine it is. :) I just do not do a lot of administrative work. [00:12] bfrazier_, an iso is easier to burn than an audio_ts and video_ts folder. [00:12] scampbell70: check out 'ddrescue' to image that flakey drive to a image on a second drive. then recover the files needed. I would imagine its the hard drive failing thats causeing issues. check dmesg for any info. You may not want to trust that 2Tb hd. [00:13] mongy, ....how do I make an iso using deveede? [00:13] bfrazier_, it's all there in the options. [00:13] scampbell70, you might get more success with "testdisk", you might want to run chkdsk /f /x from windoze to check it also. [00:13] bfrazier_ did you already try brasero? thats relatevly easy [00:13] ok dr_willis thank you [00:14] sebashtian, ...haven't tried brasero [00:14] well i think its the most straight forward [00:15] the 2t disk is only a few months old but I have riped all my dvds to mkv and all my cds to mp3 and they are on that drive but I am moving from windows to ubuntu full time and want to do away with ntfs [00:15] bfrazier_, if you are trying to put an avi to a dvd compatible disc, then brasero wont [00:16] bfrazier_, you can make an iso like so - mkisofs -o myiso.iso mydir/ - [00:16] mongy, ...well, how do I make an .iso of the .avi then? [00:16] scampbell70: dmesg command may give a clue why its crashign the whold system. Only thing i can think of that would do that. would be weird hard drive failures. [00:17] but if I select all my video files like 500g after x amount of time the transfer stops then the whole machine locks and I have to do a hard reboot but if I select like 10-20gig at a time i does transfer but it will take forever to do 1t 10gig at a time lol [00:17] bfrazier, like i said, try dvdauthor [00:17] bfrazier_: you convert a video and generate a dvd iso image with the converted video. I use 'devede' for that soft of task. [00:17] metaspike, ...hey the following commands seems to have worked: mkisofs -o myiso.sio . [00:17] cpanel boycott: http://tinyurl.com/6nhsf69 [00:17] thank you Ill give those a try and see how it goes [00:17] scampbell70: ive backed up 3tb usb to 3tb usb... :) THAT takes time... [00:18] burn with wodim... wodim -sao myiso.iso ... [00:18] bfrazier_, it's a simple enough gui. run devede, choose make dvd. new window comes up, press 'add' under the Files window, add your avi, check the properties, and go. [00:18] skraps did you just make that page? [00:18] If you dont like how Devede works.. :) you can change it.. its all written in python. :) [00:18] bfrazier_, it will make an iso in the ~/movie folder [00:18] lol I bet, I might just have to do it a little at a time but I am backing up to usb so once I format the drive I got to put them all back again lol [00:18] yeah, devede sounds like a good 'un [00:19] lol why do they like will smith? that lost all of their legitimacy [00:20] scampbell70, so... cp -rf /olddrive /newdrive . doesn't work? what's the error? [00:20] dr_willis, merry x-mas [00:21] it just crashes?! that's... wrong... :/ [00:21] I havent tried the cp command yet cause the usb drive is also ntfs and has about 200g of stuff on it and I didnt know if I could do /cp from ntfs to ntfs usb on a drive with data already on it [00:21] can I make install ubuntu image which is currently installed(it is including custom program) I am asking about how to back up current ubuntu. [00:22] Im still learning all the ins and outs of ubuntu I am in no way a master yet [00:22] is there a recommended RADIUS server to use on ubuntu ? [00:22] maum, personally, a full disk image I use clonezilla. an installable custom iso to install from cd/usb I use relinux [00:22] hold on.. I'm trying it but wife needed something [00:23] scampbell70: clonezilla, or dd. [00:23] mongy: relinux? is that new utility? or clonezilla? [00:23] bfrazier_, :D [00:23] maum, not so easy to use tbh. but does the job. [00:23] cool Ill look them up linxeh [00:24] mongy: Is there a easist way? [00:24] scampbell70, fair enough... lets say that you are copying from usb0 to usb1 ... mkdir /media/usb1/backup/ && cp -rfv /media/usb0 /media/usb1/backup ... make a dir under usb1 called backup, force recursive copy with verbosity to that drive of the contents from usb0 [00:25] maum, a ghost like backup, grab clonezilla, burn it, boot it, and use it. [00:25] otherwise i use a dual plane program called "worker". either there's a problem with the filesystem, or the method your using to copy simply cant handle it. [00:25] thanks meta Ill give that a shot right now [00:26] is ext4 the best filesystem to use once I am ready to format? [00:26] maum, just make sure where you are saving the image to has enough space and is fat32 or ntfs or ext.. clonezilla by default will split the images to 2gb so fat32 won't be an issue. [00:26] scampbell70: for most uses - yes. [00:27] ok thanks [00:27] i still prefer ext3 [00:27] its just going to hold my music and movie and server the on my home network [00:27] * dr_willis waits for ext8 [00:27] if I wanted the Asus UX31 / UX21 for the looks+spec+portability but was put off by the niggly list of tweaks necessary to have it working (I'm not even sure anyone has it 100% yet) what would you recommend instead? [00:27] ext3 or 4 will be fine for your needs scampbell70 [00:28] * LnxMen may extxD ? ;d [00:28] dr_willis thanks [00:28] mongy: ok, I see [00:28] maum, well fat16 either. [00:29] maum, but that's a 2gb limit all on its own [00:29] really? [00:29] what is the unlimited tool? [00:29] what's the difference between an .iso file and other file systems? [00:29] maum, do you know where you are saving the images to? [00:30] by which tool? [00:30] clonezilla? [00:30] maum, yes [00:30] bfrazier_: an .iso file is normally an iso9660 filesystem cd or dvd image. (could use the udf filesystem also i guess) [00:31] mongy, I don't have an experence with that [00:31] bfrazier_, wikipedia has a great article of the International Standard Organisation's filesystem :) [00:31] maum, do you have a place to save the images to [00:31] maum, it can't be the same as the partitions you are imaging. [00:32] yes I have [00:32] maum, do you know the sdX id ? [00:32] where can I check it/>?? I don't know yet [00:33] maum, is it mounted now? [00:33] I have a number of systems which I believed were all the same - yet one of them seems to have the number of colors set smaller and so images look a little "paint by numbers" - how do I change this in 10.4 [00:34] mongy: I don't install clonezilla yet [00:34] maum, you dont intall it, it's a cd or usb you boot into [00:34] AFD, you can find out about linux compatibility here: http://www.linux-drivers.org/ [00:35] metaspike: thanks. but I would prefer to hear what people's current dream ubuntu laptops are that don't involve masses of tweaking [00:35] maum, I'm just saying, do you know which device you want to use to put the images onto? sudo fdisk -l for example. you will have to choose this when you boot clonezilla [00:36] enotz, like a video display problem? limited bpp ? [00:36] AFD I've heard good things about the Asus Aspire. [00:37] metaspike: different form/spec/looks though... [00:37] metaspike: Ideally I'm wanting 11"-13" high spec and light - basically an Ultrbook [00:37] mongy: yes I know I installed ubuntu on D: and windows on C: I want to back up both of them. Is there a guide for this? [00:38] AFD. i think it depends alot on the hardware compatibily, intel and nvidia is likely to work great, because it suggests that the controllers and video ouputs are almost definately supported. [00:38] maum, is ubuntu installed on a real partition and not using wubi? [00:39] how can i test the speed of various dns servers [00:39] maum, it's pretty easy. boot clonezilla, choose the /dev/ partition you wanna save the image to, choose savedisk, and beginner defaults will do the rest. [00:39] metaspike: well.... I understand where you're coming from but when I got the Asus 1215n the Ion2 had zero support and that hasn't changed in 18months. Now I'm convinced going straight up Intel GPU is the way to go [00:40] metaspike: bpp? - looks like 8 bits of color [00:40] metaspike: unfortunately it doesn't seem like the GPU is the major issue with the ux21 / ux31 - it's the trackpad, usb-to-ethernet adapter, wifi etc etc [00:40] mongy, if you follow the instructions on the clonezilla live disk and back them (preferentially to a third disk) it is an easy way to go about it. [00:40] mongy: where is the clonzilla that I can install on usb? [00:41] maum, the zip file [00:41] hmm its dig @ip host [00:41] enotz.. in terminal do- - lspci | grep VGA - then we know what video card your runnin [00:41] maum, for now, stick to the iso until you know you wanna use it [00:42] AFD, sneak into the shop with an ubuntu disk, put it in and see how it goes. :) [00:42] while I'm waiting on the iso to be burned to the DVD...why is it advantageous to burn an iso image instead of a Video_TS and Audio_TS files? [00:42] metaspike: haha - that's possibly the best advice I've heard! [00:42] metaspike: intel integrated [00:43] metaspike: same as all the other machine - and I expected the setting to be on the 'monitors' screen but it is not [00:43] metaspike: I've got an elementaryOS usb I keep with me (that's my primary OS and is an Ubuntu derivative) [00:43] mongy: I just downloaded it from http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php [00:45] ok, ive tried everything, i cannot connect VIA ssh. [00:46] i get errors cant read the key files. which ive recreated atleast twice. yet i still cant connect. [00:46] enotz, eh... sounds bad, - cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep VESA - and paste the details to pastebin or wherever [00:46] !paste [00:46] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:46] any ideas? [00:49] I'm having trouble getting a forcedeth network card up on 11.10, dmesg shows Invalid MAC detected... does anyone know how to fix this? [00:49] AFD, you really want to test it with the linux version your going to use, i think the live disc still has a usb creator. Maybe if you ask nicely at the right retail outlet they'll just let you try it. [00:50] yekoms, paste your error to http://paste.ubuntu.com so we can have a look. [00:50] ok its in my router..not my setup, i can ssh user@localhost just fine. [00:50] black@blackness:/etc/postfix$ ssh localhost [00:50] The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established. [00:50] DSA key fingerprint is 78:8c:5b:8a:ef:63:20:7e:18:46:7f:89:57:f9:4c:2d. [00:50] hi there, trying to install pixma canon 2200 on ubuntu 11.10 latest on 64bit asusg73jw [00:51] any hints? [00:51] sounds like a nightmare already [00:51] metaspike: yeah - I use eOS as my primary OS and have the USB... if the guys in the shop are keen on me spending £1k they should be a little flexible I reckon. Still - have you ever actually had a conversation with a retail assistant in a shop about Linux? It's. never. happened. [00:51] denied-inter.net:82/ load for anyone? [00:51] cordoval, yeah 64bit, sounds hard [00:52] any workarounds or ready made solutions to install this canon printer pixma 2200? [00:52] cordoval just mount it, its a block device so, you should just be able to mount it and import files like any other, there are programs for this, nothing comes to mind though have a look in synaptic "camera" "camera photo" etc. [00:52] oh it's a printer lol [00:52] mount a printer? [00:52] is there a way to open the printer setup utility in 8.04 via command line? [00:52] when I do it through the menu it tries to open but never does [00:53] ah printers. it's all about cups. if cups is configured properly, it should "just work" tm [00:53] i will blush and feel embarrased, my dad just asked me to print his checking ticket for tomorrow and an important email on this printer [00:53] okok... hmm. [00:53] heh heh heh [00:53] printing... [00:54] always the pain in my arrrrsse [00:54] I buy epson because they 'just work' tm [00:54] I am reading a problem on 64 architecture with canon drivers but not sure [00:54] thought there is a ready made solution for 11.10 [00:54] this does not help much http://ubuntued.info/repositorio-com-drivers-adicionais-de-impressoras-canon [00:55] cannot find the same selections [00:55] cordoval, you seen this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/CanonPixmaIP2200 [00:55] my LAMP installis all sorts of F****ed up, how can i completely purge it all? [00:56] metaspike, yes but not sure what to think of, about 64 did you see it? [00:56] is there a setup utility I can open from command line ? [00:57] Canon Printers and Linux - are sadly.. not the best of solutions.. :( [00:57] yeah. cordoval i just read it. what a joke, it suggests to use alien and things... urrghhh [00:57] jiffe98: the cups.org homepage/docs detail how to configure a printer via the cli commands. or use the cups web interface. [00:57] hmm, my dad is going to be more disappointed, man i already have problems with my family [00:57] Christmas time is not nice [00:58] someone please help [00:58] I basically now make it a point to never buy 'canon' brand printers any more. i advise my friends likewise. [00:59] cordoval: its possible that those docs may be out of date. askubuntu.com might have more up to date fix's [01:00] :'( I do not have a choice, i did not buy it, it is not my printer, it is the only one around, i have to try :'( [01:00] feel horrible [01:00] cheer um chum [01:00] cheer up chum* [01:00] Last canon printer i used.. printed.. but never used the black ink... with the canon drivers.. :() [01:01] everything looked.. weird with it. :) [01:01] someone suggested this one http://www.unixmen.com/hardware-linux/251-install-canon-pixma-ip1880-in-linux but 2009! [01:01] #fullcirclemagazine [01:02] I need a widget for my file browser that'll open a terminal window pointing to the directory when clicking. Is that possible? [01:02] Then that printer started saying my Brand new Blue Ink Cart.. was not blue.. but green.. dident feel like blowing more $$ for a new ink card. So yes. i am a bit biased against canon. [01:02] how long does it take to burn an iso image? [01:02] starlon: theres nautilus scripts that do a 'command line here....' feature. [01:02] k [01:02] starlon: i think its in the repos.. but i forget its name [01:02] I'll look around. :) Thanks. [01:02] these are 386 [01:02] bfrazier_: 10 minutes max [01:02] not 686 [01:02] hello folks! first up, happy holidays (and stuff) ;) now my ... self-produced ... problem: i installed ubuntu without a dedicated /boot partition and now i'd like to have one. my plan is to create a (tar) backup of my root fs in a livecd, then re-partion accordingly, then restore the files (to /boot and / respectively). now, is there something i should be aware of, aside from the changes i'd have to make to the fstab? (new UUIDs and, obviously, a /b [01:03] so sounds like it will not work, have to find a way [01:03] bfrazier_, depends on the size and your burner and the disc [01:03] help, I don't want to tear down our relationship already damaged === newbie is now known as Guest6504 [01:03] I'm @ 29% & it's been well over 10 minutes [01:04] nothing here http://askubuntu.com/search?q=pixma+2200 [01:04] bfrazier_, how are you burning it. [01:05] mongy, devede [01:05] bfrazier_, some older burners dont like newer dye types.. they have no id for them and what speed to burn, so some only burn at the lowest speed. [01:05] bfrazier_: devede dosent burn.. last i checked.. its just a iso generation program. [01:06] bfrazier_, devede does not burn. only makes what you need, into an iso [01:06] cordoval, we need specifics... [01:06] http://askubuntu.com/questions/75014/how-can-i-install-a-canon-driver ? [01:06] could this be? [01:06] generate iso with devede, test iso with vlc.. burn iso as needed. [01:06] metaspike, yes tell me [01:06] pixma 2200 canon printer [01:06] on a asus g73jw [01:06] cordoval: as a nasty work around. You could install windows in virtualbox. and set it up to share the printer. :() [01:07] what do you think about this one ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/75014/how-can-i-install-a-canon-driver [01:07] mongy, ...alright so what do I burn to CD then? [01:07] !burn [01:07] CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [01:07] bfrazier_, right click, write to dick [01:07] i think it's worth a shot cordoval [01:07] err.. disk.... [01:08] bfrazier_, damn, sorry.. was mistake. write to disc. [01:08] mongy, ...so basically I'm making an .iso of an .iso [01:08] ;) [01:08] ok thanks man, *crying* i will can give this a try [01:08] mongy, ...yup, that was confusing [01:08] freud was not involved [01:08] bfrazier_: trying to copy a movie dvd? [01:09] bfrazier_, you are making your avi into a an iso you can write to a dvd that will play on a dvd [01:09] cordoval, ive read that there's a "PPD" on the installation dist, which is a postscript file recognisable by cups, so im guessing that last link shows someboday who was conveniently packaged them for us. so hopefully it works.j [01:09] installation disk* [01:09] metaspike, you rock man hope this is it *sobbing* [01:10] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip2200series [01:10] cordoval, ^ lets hope the ppa is active. [01:10] installing metaspike [01:10] almost finished [01:11] yes [01:11] mongy, ..no I created the .iso [01:11] ok now what to do, hmm [01:11] sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart [01:11] i think it already did that [01:11] i see the icons [01:12] yay :D [01:12] bfrazier_, well then right click burn with brasero or use growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso [01:12] bfrazier_: yu may want to test the iso in vlc,or some other video player first. [01:12] mongy, alright [01:13] bfrazier_, as willis said.... you talkin about willis [01:13] ,_, [01:13] dr_willis, sorry, had to. its xmas. [01:14] * dr_willis cuts mongy off from the egg nog bowl. [01:14] hmm, not sure the icons [01:14] night all... [01:15] noooaaah [01:15] cordoval, honestly, consider the monster that is debian, you might just want to reboot entirely [01:15] *ubuntu [01:15] always mixing those two. [01:16] ok i will [01:16] see you in 1 minutes [01:16] Command, " growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=myiso.iso " results in ":-( /dev/dvd: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0" [01:17] bfrazier_, put a recordable in then [01:17] bfrazier_, or blank the one you have, if it's dvdrw [01:18] Hello. [01:18] mongy, ...it is dvdrw and it should be blank already [01:18] Can anyone help me with an nvidia driver problem ? [01:18] bfrazier_, just a right click and write to disc will do the job. [01:19] bfrazier_, should, or is? [01:19] bfrazier_, does it say so anywhere on your desktop? in nautilus [01:19] How do I run the nvidia driver package ( Nvidia.run ) as root ? I set the permisions , but running it with Sudo before the name of the file does nothing . I also tried running it in terminal but it says it needs root privileges . [01:19] mongy, ...nope it's not there...it's vbox [01:20] bfrazier_, you need to enable passthrough then [01:20] ^ [01:20] bfrazier_, or, transfer the iso to your host and burn. [01:20] mongy, ...how do I enable passthrough [01:20] kikitheman, my advice is dont. [01:20] !nvidia-current [01:20] !nvidia [01:20] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [01:21] kikitheman: ^ [01:21] thanks :p [01:21] metaspike: :P [01:21] Hi all. Is there a way to remove a repository from one's Ubuntu installation via the LiveCD? [01:21] flexibeast: why via the livecd? [01:21] you can remove it from within your normal boot [01:21] s/boot/system environment without the livecd/ [01:22] bfrazier_, try installing wodim, it's easier. [01:22] bfrazier_, in your vm settings. [01:22] @resistance . I used the driver update thingy but it installs a shit driver which artifacts my card and crashes when I try to use dual monitors . [01:22] Resistance: Because i can't get into the install post a ppa being setup. [01:22] Also it is older than the one from the nvidia website . [01:22] flexibeast: what did said PPA install? [01:22] bfrazier_, for burning. iso's [01:22] bfrazier_, choose the drive as Host drive whatever and tick passthrough [01:22] kikitheman: use the one that the hardware drivers system says to use... if you try and use the newest drivers you run the risk of exploding your installation [01:23] kikitheman: the ones in hardware drivers are tested by the ubuntu peoples, iirc [01:23] bfrazier_, but seriously, use the shared folder function and copy the iso to your host and burn that way [01:23] The one in the hardware drivers is crap . [01:23] kikitheman: and you know this how? [01:23] mongy, ..well, I'd like to figure it out in linux [01:23] It artifacts my gtx 460 ( running fine in windows ) and it does not let me use dual monitors . [01:23] Without a driver it works fine . [01:24] Resistance: The ppa setup worked fine; it was the xorg-edgers one. System got updated with relevant packages. But now it doesn't make it to the login screen; just freezes with the 'Ubuntu' logo on the screen. [01:24] kikitheman: prepend my name to your messages, or i might miss them. as well, which version of ubuntu are you running? [01:24] flexibeast: i take it you were upgrading X? [01:24] lol kiktheman. sudo aptitude install nvidia-current . see what that does for you. [01:25] metaspike: try spelling their name right, fwiw [01:25] (you missed an i in there) [01:25] kikitheman: try what metaspike suggested [01:25] and also please answer my question ;P [01:25] Ubuntu vers 11.04 . Also says aptitude command is not found . [01:25] kikitheman: apt-get then\ [01:26] Resistance: Trying to. Been having issues with Oneiric running on this particular laptop. It has integrated Intel graphics, but Unity didn't work - had to run Unity 2D. Then tried installing GNOME Shell, but that didn't work, i suspect because the driver didn't have compositing enabled. Hence me trying out xorg-edgers. [01:26] lots of us use aptitude over apt-get, but they do the same :P [01:26] It is unpacking a driver [01:26] flexibeast: ah. well you might want to be careful using edgers thingies [01:26] 173 mb [01:26] ah..... no aptitude.. o_o heathens! [01:26] metaspike: !ot is your friend ;P [01:26] i have a wireless usb mouse that works in windows but not in ubuntu. windows finds new hardware and installs a "HID" device driver. linux doesnt even list anything in the lsusb. anyone got a clue how i could troubleshoot? [01:26] Resistance: Agreed! :-) But i didn't think i wouldn't be able to even be able to boot to console .... [01:27] mongy, ...I give up...I'm just burning it to DVD using nero ...dang it should not be this hard [01:27] Resistance: So, yeah, i'm wondering if there's a way i can regenerate the package list on my install by using the LiveCD. [01:27] bfrazier_, its not, but you are using a vm [01:27] sumosu, sudo apt-get install firmware-restricted-nonfree [01:28] bfrazier_, if this was a real install, all you would do is right click and write to disc [01:28] mongy, burn process failed at 4x [01:28] @Resistance That command has finished . Still how do I run a file ( Nvidia.run ) with root privileges ? [01:29] kikitheman: "sudo ./Nvidia.run" [01:29] kikitheman: you should probably test the drivers that just installed :P [01:29] kikitheman, it would be suicide to install that now, just reboot. [01:29] !root | kikitheman [01:29] metaspike: ok will reboot and try [01:29] kikitheman: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:30] when I type sudo ./Nvidia.run it says command not found [01:30] file is placed on my desktop btw [01:30] kikitheman: did you cd to your Dekstop directory? [01:30] :P [01:30] by default the terminal opens to your home folder [01:31] kikitheman: chmod +x ? [01:31] bfrazier_, wodim -sao myiso.iso - hasn't failed me once, [01:31] kikitheman: "cd ~/Desktop && sudo ./Nvidia.run" [01:31] kikitheman, if you install that now you'll be dumping nvidias stuff ontop of the official ubuntu packaged version [01:32] im having the silliest problem. i transferred my domain over away from godaddy and now my email forward doesnt work. what do i need to do to fix it? [01:32] kikitheman, so like we said, reboot and use the driver you just installed... [01:32] ok ill reboot and see if it still craps out on my graphics card === lamer is now known as Guest22018 [01:33] command, "wodim -sao myiso.iso" results in "wodim: Operation not permitted.

[01:51] cordoval, not really unfortunately, without getting into manual driver installations for a unsupported driver and cups postscript driver implimentation (ugh) . you can try this. install a whole bunch of drivers and hope one works, in future, get a brother or hp printer instead... sudo apt-get install brother-cups-wrapper-common brother-cups-wrapper-extra cupsys-driver-gutenprint [01:51] sumosu: yeah, should be recognized as an usb device anyway [01:52] i'm outatime. later [01:52] hey [01:52] hows everyone [01:52] dmesg finds a usb mouse but then [ 1200.947950] usb 5-2: USB disconnect, address 7 [01:53] wireless?

[01:57] how i can pot ubuntu in my engine with out nitrous or turbochaRG ? [01:58] use nitrous for full speed issuses mr suntsu [01:58] sumosu: you could try different ports or adding a hub [01:59] snake99: I'm not sure if I can follow you, and yet even less sure I want to [01:59] SunTsu: ive tried it on 3 different machines already. no joy with ubuntu [02:00] Anyone know how to make my Ubuntu 9.10 system automatically suspend after a certain length of idleness? [02:00] sumosu: I was suspecting some change in usb drivers lately, but got no proof of that yet, do you by change have some older kernel lying around that you could use for testing?

This is a fluxbox MythTV system, not my regular desktop. Any idea on how to do it via the command line? [02:02] SunTsu: mint 11 on this machine (ubuntu 11.04 equivalent), also tried it with 10.04 on the other one [02:02] i believe [02:02] merry christmas all, i want to pull a video im streaming from facebook is there a temp file i can get it? [02:03] e2b04836: NM! Looks like I can still get to it via the Gnome Control Center. Thanks!

[02:03] ciao [02:04] sumosu: that rules out my theory [02:04] !list [02:04] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [02:04] its look like ubuntu VS chevy ss big block [02:04] SunTsu: how old should the kernel be? what ubuntu version? ... oh i see [02:04] bfrazier_: what do you mean by passthrough? [02:04] sumosu: I was thinking about the latest kernel, but, well ;) [02:04] SunTsu: i tried the mouse with 3.1.5 and 3.0.0 :) [02:04] SunTsu, well, my dvd is not being recognized..I was told that I would need to enable pass through in virtual box [02:05] bfrazier_: you probably need to add the feature pack [02:05] SunTsu, I already installed guest editoins [02:05] *guest editions [02:05] bfrazier_: try #virtualbox perhaps? [02:06] bfrazier_: no, I'm not talking about guest additions. Oracle put some functionality into a feature pack you need to install separately [02:06] how do you find out how many watts of power your laptop is using? is there a comma? [02:06] command* [02:06] i dont think so [02:06] SunTsu, ...alright thanks I'll try #vbox [02:06] sumosu: did you try adding a hub? Maybe that could mitigate your issues [02:07] So is there any way to boot to console if there's no GRUB menu via which one can pass options to the kernel? [02:07] SunTsu: but what do you make out of my dmsg log? thats not normal is it? looks like an ongoing negotiation process, right? [02:07] i want to pull a video im streaming from facebook is there a temp file i can get it? [02:08] sumosu: yeah, that's why I thought of speed negotioation issues [02:08] Flexibeast press shift key when booting to show up grub menu [02:08] SunTsu: i dont have any hub lying around here. and as i said i tried it on 3 machines, so i doubt it's my machine's fault [02:08] here we back agine with the video [02:08] bfrazier_, [02:09] bfrazier_, settings > storage > storage tree > ide controller > host drive > atributes > passthrough [02:09] in vbox settings.

[02:14] modsiw: if it can't cope with different partitions you might want to consider using something that actually works. Cloning is not too complicated [02:14] only thing i can think of is to remove that partiontable and use a tool to rebuild a new one with a partion in sthe same place, but that is risky/hacky [02:15] modsiw: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? [02:15] thanx about your help suntsu [02:15] cya [02:16] the lab has a fog (http://www.fogproject.org/) setup for use on many of their systems. for who knows what reasons, its setup to look for /dev/sda1, but these new boxes, the partion is /dev/sda3 (it is the only partiiton). fog seems to have /dev/sda1 hard coded on it and it cant find the partition. trying to get fog to work with these new boxes [02:17] Hello [02:17] rosstaylor: i think i've found exactly what you want - install "powertop" and run it as root, it shows current power usage in W [02:17] e2b04836: sudo apt-get install powertop?

[02:31] Like eggdrops [02:31] either yofun is too drunk or I am too tired, I don't understand a thing [02:31] yofun: you'd need a special RDNS on the ip for that system [02:32] SunTsu: me too, the more i try to understand the more my brain hurts [02:32] Anyone know how I can get my dhcp-server to show hostnames when DHCPDISCOVER is logged in syslog? This worked before I reinstalled my dhcp-server?. [02:32] Hmm RDNS i heard something about that [02:32] Guys I'm having random crashes and have no idea why but I think is my video card, does ubuntu make minidumps or something like that to check? [02:32] yofun: yeah, something your ISP or IP provider sets on the IP [02:32] gimme a sec, i'll show ya an example [02:32] yofun: you want to change your host for everything? http etc?

[02:35] so basically, you'd have to talk to your ISP or whoever provides the IP for your machine(s) and get them to change the RDNS [02:35] yofun: most likely not [02:35] Is there a windows ctrl+alt+supr alternative to ubuntu when it hangs? [02:35] yofun: because those are dynamic IPs [02:35] yofun: i highly doubt your isp will do that, get a cheap VPS [02:35] Suddenlink [02:35] yofun: in all likelihood you'd have to upgrade to a plan with a static IP, like a business plan, and that can be expensive. listen to e2b04836 here, a VPS might work [02:35] s/might work/would work/ [02:36] I'd recommend ipv6 tunnel and use a ipv6 irc server [02:36] what can i use to view wikipedia xml dump files ? [02:36] a /48 should give you enough "vhosts" to play with [02:37] rosstaylor: can you fire up gnome-power-statistics from the terminal? [02:37] does any one know ? [02:37] pinguy_: er, less? [02:37] what can i use to view wikipedia xml dump files ? [02:37] less ?? [02:37] pinguy_ once is enough :) [02:38] you said less, so i restated the question, you appeared confused.. less makes no sence to me [02:38] sense [02:38] pinguy_: because you didn't specify what exactly you mean by view. Simply browsing them can be done by using less or even more [02:39] un less "less" is the name of an app that views wikipedia xml dump files .. is it ? [02:39] sumosu: how? [02:39] pinguy_: any text editor/viewer can view xml files, they are just text [02:39] rosstaylor: just type it [02:39] pinguy_: it's a general file viewer, xml is just text in a special format [02:40] oh, these xml dumps are pictures and images of current wikipedia en version [02:40] sumosu: ok i see it [02:40] sumosu: now where do i find out [02:40] the file is over 32gbytes [02:40] Thanks :) [02:40] rosstaylor: select battery on the left, then history tab and select rate [02:41] it has talks and older versions of the pages omitted , else it would be closer to 3 Tbbytes [02:41] pinguy_, ive used this in the past, and it was good enough: https://launchpad.net/wikipediadumpreader [02:41] sumosu: ok? [02:41] rosstaylor: you should see a graph labelled with watts on the left [02:41] only does text [02:41] sumosu: yes [02:41] pinguy_: look what I found googling for "wikipedia dump reader linux": http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=65244 [02:41] oh it has latex as well. [02:42] sumosu: roughly 25 watts per hour [02:42] sumosu: what is yorus [02:42] my search was "wikipedia xml linux offline viewer" [02:42] rosstaylor: 12-22 [02:42] i will use the app meyaspike claims is good enough... [02:42] pinguy_: looks like my google-fu is stronger than yours ;) [02:43] sumosu: this is much lower than i thought it would be [02:43] very broad question but is there a way to get docking stations to work with laptops running linux?

[03:18] Btw, did someone answered me if there's a windows ctrl+alt+supr equivalent in ubuntu where I can force shut an application that hangs? [03:18] cliffybx: use the commandline instead. [03:18] coleix1: is disabled by default but you can enable it on Keyboard settings [03:19] metaspike: where do I set those configurations? [03:19] yes..it says got problem and have to report..it tell me to update..but still the same after update [03:19] coleix1, from terminal .... killall "appname" or xkill [03:19] cliffybx: can you tell us more exactly what the problem is?

Better use postfix or exim [04:10] rhineheart_m: of course it does. use iptables-save to save and iptables-restore to restore your rules [04:11] whats wrong with qmail [04:11] does anyone knows what the '-DL', '-DS' and '-DW' flags are for in the gcc compiler? [04:12] extor: well, you need to patch EVERYTHING into it [04:13] extor: qmail as such is quite raw, only the most basic features, the rest is patches from lots of different sources, of varying code quality [04:14] SunTsu: this is what I did... /sbin/iptables-restore < /locationofiptables/iptables.rules ....then after which.. the IP that I want to block (outgoing and incoming) is working.. but after reboot.. it won't work again..

[05:56] kroq-gar78: is there a way to know what are those scripts that trigger it? [05:56] sunit: So, udevd is, in fact, running. So, what Desktop Environment are you using? [05:56] no [05:56] http://pastebin.com/u4dGi1Y2 <--- That's the output of trying to run VLC, lol. [05:56] rhineheart_m: not as far as I know... [05:56] Got it working, thanks [05:56] madoo: do you install Kubuntu or Xubuntu when you first installed or is it plain "Ubuntu" [05:57] jeaton1: lol we didn't even do anything really :P === mgodzilla_rests is now known as mgodzilla [05:57] i was have ubuntu 10.10 but i did change in tirmenal like you tell me after i log in is noting change still 10.10 [05:58] its frist timei do [05:58] You told me it was lightdm which I used to access it [05:58] madoo: look up "ubuntu change desktop environment" on google maybe I'm not explaining it well :( [05:59] okey [05:59] Raliegh, sudo adduser raliegh video [05:59] for example. [05:59] What's up? Why would I need to add a user? [05:59] not add a user, but add user raliegh to the video group [06:00] Raliegh: that's what the command that metaspike gave you does [06:00] Oh... I don't even have a video group? I don't think that's where those errors are coming from? [06:00] Those errors are when it's run as root. [06:01] kroq-gar78: what if identifying what commands are being executed during the boot up process? do you think I can pin it down in that approach? [06:02] rhineheart_m: not sure... I'm not an ubuntu ninja :( probably somebody else here will know... [06:02] Raliegh, dunno, are you runnining X as root? [06:03] Lol, as dumb as this may sound... What is "X"? [06:03] madoo: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html look at steps 2-5 [06:03] Raliegh: the entire GUI [06:03] how are you running vlc? with sudo? because you dont want to. [06:04] Raliegh: agreed, you probably don't want to run VLC w/ sudo [06:04] Raliegh: x.org is the window manager for Linux. it's how anything visual is there. if there was no X, it'd be only command-line. === aidenhong_ is now known as aidenhong [06:04] kroq-gar78 I initially didn't have GUI installed on my machine, but I did "apt-get install lxde" a while ago. I'm not using sudo, it's just straight off root. [06:05] Raliegh, yeah, install xdm. reboot and login as normal user. [06:05] if you dont have one, create one with "adduser username" [06:05] metaspike: why? he installed lxde and therefore X [06:05] Is that going to kill RAM or anything? How large is it? And my normal user is root, heh. [06:05] Raliegh: root shouldn't be normal user! [06:05] !sudo | Raliegh [06:05] Raliegh: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [06:06] Raliegh: using root as your main user is a bad idea [06:06] hellp [06:06] It's a server, I never hop on it to do anything other than to add/remove/modify system files and packages. Why use sudo and not root when I don't use it as a normal computer? [06:06] madoo: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html look at steps 2-5 [06:07] okey [06:07] Raliegh: I run quite a few linux servers. running programs as root is a huge security risk [06:07] Raliegh, even a server needs user accounts, because otherwise everyone who accesses the computer is logged in as root... lol [06:07] Raliegh: never know what you do might screw over your system [06:07] Raliegh: if one program gets compromised then ur entire server is hacked [06:07] Raliegh: ... and why would you attempt to initiate a VNC session with it? [06:07] Initiate a vnc session with it? I didn't...? === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower [06:08] I do initiate vnc sessions with a user/group "ices", along with my Icecast server. [06:08] Raliegh: " http://pastebin.com/u4dGi1Y2 <--- That's the output of trying to run VLC" [06:08] metaspike: everyone-is-root = your-dead-computer = arrow-to-the-knee >----(computer)---> [06:08] VLC ~= VNC? [06:08] != * [06:08] howdy [06:08] Raliegh: Oh, VLC sorry... [06:09] No problem. :) [06:09] lol [06:09] ... it's getting late ... [06:09] meh only midnight :P [06:10] So anyways, any idea how I would fix those errors? [06:10] I have lxde installed [06:10] when usung a custom edid: why is it that the first time xorg starts, it ignores the custom edid? [06:10] after restarting xorg it works [06:11] Raliegh - adduser "username" && adduser "username" video audio wheel && apt-get install xdm ... otherwise, carry on but dont expect programs to work as they would under a user account, as they do in a root account. [06:11] metaspike, even trying to run VLC under my user I get the same exact errors. [06:11] So that isn't the issue. [06:11] Also I have lxde installed... somebody said that means I have "X" whatever? [06:11] yup [06:12] you should [06:12] lxde, gnome, kde, etc all run on X [06:12] Then what do I dooo? xD [06:13] I mean, I'm so lost. [06:13] Raliegh: basically, ignore all this nonsense about "X" whatever first [06:13] Good, I'm starting to hate that letter. [06:15] Raliegh, i gave you a command solider! (ahem) ... replace "username" with username of your choice. it also ensures that "user" is added into the basic groups which allow things like vlc to work. [06:16] D:< I already have my user/group "ices" in sudoers and it can run things fine, but I'm still getting that D-buss error. [06:17] and ices is in video and audio user groups also? [06:18] The only group I have on my system is "ices"? [06:18] adduser ices video audio ices [06:18] then try again with ices [06:20] adduser: Only one or two names allowed. [06:21] ok then,,, adduser ices video && adduser ices audio && adduser ices ices - there's probably a better way to do this [06:21] also ensure dbus is actually running? service dbus start [06:21] Has anybody successfully installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 directly onto a USB flash drive? [06:22] Yeah it's running [06:23] aBound, if you can get the live iso onto a usb drive, you can chance the initrd options to determine persistence mode. [06:24] metaspike, Doubt I'd need too, more than likely just need to get it to boot without any errors. [06:25] aBound, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent --- you could somehow install it as a full install, but it would probably only work with the computer it was installed for. [06:25] I've been having a problem with Ubuntu freezing. I tried using Xfce instead of Gnome and for the first time Screen saver came up, however, a little while later it still froze. Using Gnome the screen saver never comes up, does this mean the freezing is related to screen saver? [06:26] metaspike, Only downside is I received two errors when trying to boot Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS from a usb flash drive. [06:27] skegeek, If you're using Ubuntu 11.10 at the moment. It is bit unstable seeing as it's more of a bleeding edge release. [06:28] metaspike, Been getting the first error as such: Unable to find a medium containing a live file system. It's everywhere on google and even tells me on the Ubuntu wiki that it has usb flash drive problems. [06:28] metaspike, Figured there might be a workaround or somewhat. [06:29] make sure you check your .iso [06:30] Some people suggested that I changed the boot sequence to no luck. Figures, if I should buy a blank CD tomorrow if any stores are open to try it. [06:30] Works flawlessly in virtualbox. [06:30] aBound: the usb does not mount on startup? [06:30] skegeek, yeah- 11.10 is as to sid is to debian. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze - you might find that installing a different video driver will help [06:31] aBound: does your bios allow you to do a startup from usb? === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [06:31] almoxarife, Once the computer is rebooted I hit F7 to boot from the Sandisk flash drive and it goes to a black screen giving me the error. Afterwards I have to hit [tab] and type: live. Then it gives me another error. [06:32] Well, I have Intel Mobile 965 Express Chipset, I'm not sure what -other- driver I should get. [06:32] skegeek, there is no other. have you modified xorg.conf [06:33] skegeek: its not the graphics, if the gnome screen saver works, then you have excluded graphics [06:33] No, should I? [06:33] no.. [06:33] Screen saver doesn't come up in Gnome, it comes up in Xfce [06:33] almoxarife, I changed the BIOS so that the USB flash drive can boot from boot sequence 1 and to no luck. [06:35] skegeek: gnome was installed how? you seem to have dabbled into different desktops, you sure gnome is still intact? [06:35] almoxarife, I figure maybe if I could get a earlier version such as Ubuntu 8.04 and somehow upgrade to 10.04. I also tried to install Debian onto a flash drive through Startup Disk Creator. But there is a known bug that prevents it. [06:36] Gnome is default, I added Xubuntu-desktop via repository [06:37] I know it isn't a hardware problem, because Windows doesn't have a problem. [06:38] 11.10? [06:38] Yes. [06:39] skegeek: if you don't want to fixated on gnome screensaver do this, install x-screen-saver, remove gnome-screen-saver, add s-screen-saver to your start up apps, configure x-screen saver to your taste [06:39] Could it have something to do with an error that wubuilder (or something like that) could not be found at boot time? [06:40] skegeek: a wubi install? [06:40] Yes. [06:40] Looks like I'll give Ubuntu 9.10 a run. [06:41] skegeek: should not matter once the OS boots up, the wubuilder bug has to do with losing grub [06:41] Okay. [06:42] It would help if I could figure out if the freezes are caused by the screen saver trying to work. [06:43] skegeek: you said you didn't have screensaver hang in xubuntu, it uses x-screen-saver [06:43] Greetings, everyone. [06:43] How do I check what audio driver I am running? [06:44] In Xubuntu a yellow stars screen saver comes up, however it did eventually freeze. In Gnome the screen saver never comes up at all. [06:45] skegeek- sudo apt-get install apt-listbugs && apt-listbugs -s all list * - install apt-listbugs and list all registered bugs on this system. [06:46] paulsomebody, Go into your terminal and type: lspci. For a list of hardware. [06:46] aBound: Thanks. :) [06:46] paulsomebody, Welcome. [06:46] skegeek: you are full of surprises, so it hangs regardless of your choice of screen-saver, forget my earlier suggestion, don't install x-xscreen-saver, look at your logs for obvious issues [06:48] at any rate it may give you some perspective, what I would do, if I where you. is - sudo aptitude purge - anything with a severve bugs. and use rcconf to cut anything that isnt required. 11.10 is crazy land, the best you can do is try to eliminate the problems or find hacky workarounds. [06:49] or if your lucky, appropriate solutions... but that takes abit more than clicking the provided menus./ [06:53] Which logs should I target then? Gnome, X, or ? [06:57] skegeek, if you use apt-listbugs - then saw that /gnome or /x or /xscreensaver or whatever had an obvious bug registered, then it would make sense to look into that programs log for a workaround, or just remove it entirely. if you think it's xscreensaver, remove it, it's not even required. sudo apt-get purge xscreensaver* [06:57] two gfx cards with two dvi's each, have tree monitors, nvidia-settings says i have to use seperate X on card number two, no windowmanager on that one, no input, can open apps, but no input. wierd, any solutions to this problem? :-) [06:58] apt-listbugs wasn't found, however it was referred to by something else. [06:59] is there a way to movie a file while it is still downloading in firefox? [06:59] nope [07:00] oh sorry, I thought you sayd move, hehe [07:00] yes of corse you can play it while downing ;-) [07:00] I need some help with a Toshiba Satellite...

[07:02] its megaupload, not allowed to resume downloads >_> [07:03] dragoneye: let me guess, you want to watch what you are d/l? [07:03] almoxarife: ok, well, I installed 11.10 on my girlfriend's dad's laptop (mine's a sony), and I can't get the webcam to work...it looks for it in /dev/video0...but no luck...

I wanted to make a DNS Server so I am using the following website for a step-by-step tutorial: http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Ubuntu_11.04&p=dns&f=1 The only problem is I don't know what my global IP address is in brackets. I do know my global IP adress but not the one in brackets. And what is my private IP adress? and what would it look like in brackets? Thank you. [07:04] almoxerife: no helping orly_ow, he typo so i thoght he ment play, but he ment move... if im correct? [07:04] yes [07:04] move [07:04] ArchangelOKC: 'it' ? what app does not see it?

I wanna do the following: cd /somedir && echo "success" || { echo"failure"; exit } [07:06] That is, have several commands in the "or" (||) part [07:06] The above does not seem to work [07:07] almoxarife: skype, camorama and cheese [07:08] . [07:08] any thoughts on my X annoyance? ;-) [07:08] two gfx cards with two dvi's each, have tree monitors, nvidia-settings says i have to use seperate X on card number two, no windowmanager on that one, no input, can open apps, but no input. wierd, any solutions to this problem? :-) [07:09] MeirD: need semicolon before the closing '}', and space after second echo [07:09] MeirD: if cd /somedir; then echo success; else echo failure; exit; fi [07:09] ArchangelOKC: can you pastebin /var/log/xorg.0.log please? [07:09] MeirD, the part after && won't be executed when cd fails. Use $? like "cd somedir ; echo $?". It stores the last exit value (1: fail, 0: sucess) [07:09] thnx! [07:10] would like to have tree screens desktop , but the desktop on screen tree wich is on a seperate gfx card is f*ing up... [07:11] almoxarife: the file is empty...

If I want to use "mkdir ~/a/b" but I dont have directory a as well [07:14] mkdir -p [07:14] linux will say it is not possible to create "b" since "a" does not exist... Is there anyway to tell it to build the all tree? [07:15] great! [07:15] why didnt I find that in the man :P damn [07:15] thnx [07:15] :-) [07:16] Morning to all [07:16] m [07:16] merry christmast [07:16] Hi,I have a question, which I recommend filesystem btrfs or ext4 [07:17] merry christmass [07:17] Ale9Hack: ssd: btrfs, hd: ext4 [07:18] Thanks, I have a ssd [07:18] merry christmass [07:18] same here ;-) [07:19] how to find a certain file in the whole system? [07:19] locate [07:19] find [07:19] I have some question regarding a gentoo installation [07:19] is this the appropriate place to ask [07:19] or is there anywhere else anyone could direct me to [07:20] if you use locate do a : sudo updatedb first [07:20] Same here. :P [07:20] if find: find -iname myfile [07:22] dragoneye: what if I don't know the exact dir? [07:22] ArchangelOKC: the camera is a usb? [07:22] i need to ask this if i use the livecd and download and install boot repair would it repair the grub.conf of a different OS other then ubuntu ? (the system is gentoo) [07:22] almoxarife: it's the one built into the lid [07:22] rhineheart_m: locate is fast, but may not do extarnal hd's, find is slow but finds everything mounted in filesystem [07:23] ArchangelOKC: the install is what version and how old? [07:23] like: find / -iname dude.avi [07:23] almoxarife: brand-new install, just did it yesterday [07:23] akmoxarife: 11.10 [07:23] almoxarife: 11.10 [07:23] ArchangelOKC: you used the desktop/alternate cd? [07:24] almoxarife: yes [07:24] thanks dragoneye [07:24] ArchangelOKC: which, alternate or desktop? 32bit or 64 and what is the hardware? 32 or 64? [07:24] np [07:25] almoxarife: desktop 64-bit running on 64-bit hardware [07:25] startup scripts are found usually in /etc/init.d or in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directories (sometimes /etc/init.d is a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d)... any other location? [07:26] ArchangelOKC: re-install, use the 'alternate' 64bit, insure the machine is hardwired to the internet while the install is taking place [07:27] is ther ea way to tell ubuntu to get newtime from network? (running ubuntu in a vm; want it to keep time updated) [07:28] wow..never seen this channel go quiet for so long b4 [07:28] almoxarife: very slow internet connection here and the .iso takes forever to download....ne way to edit a file or something? [07:29] edit a downing file on the fly? lol no guess not, howto merge the following downed parts of the file then? [07:29] ArchangelOKC: use the bittorent d/l [07:30] almoxarife: belive it or not, that actually goes slower on this connection :/ [07:30] ArchengelOKC: missread your questing, sry.. yes, try bittorent, gnome : transmission [07:31] ArchengelOKC: search a bittorrent site after that file, if you cannot find it, then sry. [07:32] Hi, does anyone know how to configure Ubuntu to connect to the Internet via a mobile device, specifically Globe SuperStick. [07:32] dragoneye: using Qbittorrent for torrents, but the connection is so slow there's not much I can do about it - it's basically a 3G connection [07:32] ArchangelOKC: what is the chip set for that machine?? I thought it would be intel with intel graphics [07:32] almoxarife: it's an AMD [07:33] ArchangelOKC: and the graphics? [07:33] I can't seem to connect my computer to the Internet since Ubuntu won't connect to the Internet via the mobile device. [07:33] AMD Raetheon I believe [07:33] It automatically connects to the Internet in Windows though. [07:34] ArchangelOKC: you really need to do the 'alternate' install as discussed previously [07:34] ArchangelOKC: i use an usb cable and set the phone to usb modem, ubuntu should do the rest, if not click on the internet connection icon on the "taskbar" [07:34] Hello, for which (free) service (e.g. GoogleTalk,Skype) are there well-working clients for Linux AND Windows; and what are they? [07:35] ManDay: google talk/voice/video , chrome/chromium [07:35] ManDay: mumble? [07:35] running ubuntu as a virtual machine, know anything fun to do? [07:36] almoxarife: AMD FGLRX drivers - I know, but it'll take forever and a day and I have to go home tomorrow afternoon...I don't think I can get it all done before then...yes, it's that slow [07:36] a34154ek: run a virtual windows [07:36] almoxarife: The browser as client? [07:36] almoxarife: wait a second...maybe if I disable the propietary drivers? [07:36] ManDay: yep, simple, or too simple? [07:37] * dragoneye cheers [07:37] Dragoneye, already did that! Is there a limit to how deep you can go? [07:37] ArchangelOKC: you could try that, the issue is drivers, or load everyone of them [07:37] almoxarife: brb [07:37] almoxarife: Not my dream-solution. . [07:37] a34154ek: depends on you system recourses ;-) [07:38] +r [07:38] dragoneye, how deep have you gone yet? [07:38] ManDay: you want it more complicated? [07:38] a34154ek: deep! [07:38] dragoneye, how many layers? [07:39] ManDay: fine, load broke-dick skype on either end and enjoy the lag [07:39] a34154ek: dont know if there is any limit , but I dont see the point, may you explain your reason? [07:39] dragoneye, no reason :p [07:39] :-p [07:39] ManDay: how about pidgin? it will run nears anything these days [07:41] has any one here used backtrack?

It works [07:50] almoxarife: that did it - the webcam works now...should have been the first thing I tried >_< [07:50] Just not the way I need it to. [07:50] ArchangelOKC: cool, :) [07:51] It's a VLC/Ubuntu problem, more-so on the VLC side. I'd explain here but it's highly doubtful anyone can help me, which sucks... Because I'm at such a loss. [07:51] Can anyone help me configure Ubuntu so I can connect to the Internet using my Globe SuperStick [07:51] almoxarife: I feel like an idiot XD [07:51] ArchangelOKC: don't let on to pops and the gf [07:52] almoxarife: lmao, thanks for the help - have a good night guys, happy new year and such [07:52] Raliegh: Well, you can be certain that if you don't explain it, no one can help you [07:53] pnorman, well, if you wish, though $10 says I won't even get a reply. Get ready for a wall of text. [07:53] I'm having a hard time configuring Ubuntu to be able to connect to the Internet via my mobile device <---- specifically Globe Super Stick, anyone familiar with the issue? [07:53] Raliegh: Oh, you could very well be right that no one can help you [07:54] I'm pretty certain I wouldn't be able to help you, I don't use VNC at all [07:54] VLC [07:54] Not VNC [07:55] Oh, I do use VLC (on Windows) [07:55] vlc is build on mplayer? [07:56] dragoneye: no [07:56] Okay, so I've installed VLC properly on Ubuntu 11.04. I've tested encoding with the "fixed" FFMPEG encoders by saving it as a local file, and it succesfully encodes a live OGG stream to MPEG when saving locally. However, when I use the SOUT ability (push that encoded stream back into Icecast)... It sort of works. The mount gets opened, it logs in fine, and metadata gets passed... However, the [07:56] stream does not actually become encoded and there is no sound. Now using the EXACT SAME METHOD on my Windows computer... It works perfectly. The stream gets opened, meta-data gets passed, and the stream is encoded in MPEG. I've cross-referenced the log files and they're both nearly identical. [07:58] Raliegh: aptitude install non-free-codecs ???? [07:58] Raliegh, vlc has a pretty big forum might you try there? [07:59] I installed a medibuntu repository and installed fixed FFMPEG. It's been declared that the encoder works... Since it encodes the live stream and saves it as MPEG succesfully (tested in many different audio players for codec signature). [07:59] Also, last time I tried installing non-free-codecs I got a TON of errors at the end, that would persis with any command I ran. I think it had something to do with JDK. [08:00] And yeah, their forum is large... But kind of inactive. Trust me, I've got my posts there. :) [08:00] Raliegh: apt-get -f [08:00] People in the IRC are baffled and at a loss too. [08:01] What does that command do dragoneye? [08:01] fix any dependensies errors.... [08:02] Oh that's nice. [08:02] Ow [08:02] Does anybody have a blank Ubuntu server I could test this on with non-free-codecs then? I reallllly don't want to have to go through another install. [08:03] Raliegh: Could try VirtualBox or an EC2 instance [08:03] try linux mint 11 , it boots live... [08:04] Oooh, good point. I'll set-up a virtual server. VMWare ftw. [08:04] right on. [08:05] Oh God, 685MB. [08:05] I won't be testing anytime soon. [08:05] anytime is soon enogh ;-) [08:05] I just had download the server .iso and burn it to a DVD since I couldn't find the appropriate USB stick [08:05] Hahaha :) [08:06] Yeah, lucky me VMWare supports ISO mounting. Either way though I've got tons of DVD's around. [08:06] is it possible to debootstrap Debian 6 squeeze using my Ubuntu 11.10 netbook? [08:07] In the meantime, anyone care to tune into some music for a bit and comment on quality, skips, etc? It'd be quite helpful. [08:07] I was doing a test install on bare metal to test the SAS card in another motherboard [08:07] Raliegh: run this in terminal, pastebin the result vlc -l | grep shout [08:08] It's under three lines, just going to paste here. [08:08] playlist New winamp 5.2 shoutcast import [08:08] access_output_shout IceCAST output [08:08] But yeah, a quality test would be nice. Ignore the terribad web layout.

[09:24] ! java [09:24] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

[09:38] h [09:38] !webmin | ribot webmin isn't supported here [09:38] ribot webmin isn't supported here: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [09:38] ribot: webmin is not supported in ubuntu. [09:39] opalepatrick: if you are using unity, then alt + f2 brings up the dash. use it to search for your applications... its pretty simple one is called : "Startup Applications" [09:40] the question is really ssl related, as i tried to enable ssl-default by the server refuses to respond [09:40] opalepatrick: if you haven't worked it out by now, "Startup Applications" is not a command you can execute [09:40] ribot: it's actually most likely a webmin problem. you should really use Zentyal instead. [09:40] cheers airtonix - finding my way around :-) [09:41] llutz: so if I were to use IMAP because I want to configure a program on another computer to access the emails, then I would have to use Dovecot. am I correct? [09:41] lalagirl: yes [09:41] or any other imap-server [09:41] llutz: okay. let me install and configure Dovecot [09:42] llutz: i'll be right back [09:42] How do I specify a virtual screen size in Ubuntu 11.10 [09:42] ?

I'm using remote desktop from my laptop to my desktop (which is dual screen 1680x1050 on each monitor) and I need to view the entire screen but not scaled. [09:47] Hey all I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and I also the nvidia driver yet I can't get it to work. [09:48] When you say you cannot get it to work, what exactly is happening when you boot up? [09:49] mysticsoul, what are you using? rdesktop? [09:49] mysticsoul, It stays at the 800x600 resolution. [09:49] are you able to come till the login screen? if no then it may not be compatible with your hardware [09:49] I have a 15.3" laptop and it has a resolution of 1920x1200. [09:50] From switch I cannot switch from. [09:50] aBound: that's a nice laptop you have [09:50] metaspike, yes I am using the remote desktop connection from my laptop running Ubuntu to another desktop running Ubuntu. [09:50] lalagirl, System76 was preconfigured for Ubuntu 11.10 yet is unstable at the moment worked fine on there. [09:50] aBound, have you tried editing xorg.conf? [09:51] merry xmas felas [09:51] mysticsoul, I went to nVidia X Server Settings and it's telling me to run as root and to edit my X config file and to restart X. [09:51] aBound, if your laptop was preconfigured for 11.10 then why are you using 10.04 right now? [09:51] enjoy your xmas h'day [09:51] fishcooker: MERRY XMAS [09:51] :p lalagirl [09:51] mysticsoul, Because 11.10 is unstable. It's a bleeding edge release more than a stable release. [09:52] I'd choose stability over instability any day of the week. [09:52] lalagirl, 16GB of unnecessary RAM. [09:52] yeah aBound, try opening a terminal and then type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (without the quotes) and then go to the display section and edit the resolution there. [09:53] aBound: but that's still impressive for a laptop, what brand/model do you have? [09:53] mysticsoul, use: rdesktop -g 1024x768 munter:80 for example [09:53] i've done manual upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 for a specific reason.. i change the repository from lucid to maver. then do # apt-get update --fix-missing && apt-get dist-upgrade [09:54] lalagirl, System76 is the manufacturer they create fully compatible Ubuntu machines www.system76.com I should of gotten the 14 inch due to this keyboard being big for my small hands.

[09:54] metaspike, what I am after is setting a virtual resolution of say 3360x1050 so that when I remote on to the desktop I can pan around the screen and access all parts of the desktop. [09:55] mysticsoul, As far as I know Ubuntu 11.10 runs on Debian testing... [09:55] it wouldbe nice to know why webmin isn't supported, as nobody seems to think zentyal is better [09:55] mysticsoul, Keyboard shortcuts are broken can't change em either it's a buggy version. [09:55] In previous versions of Ubuntu, one could set Virtual 3360x1050 in xorg.conf, which would allow a higher resolution that what is currently set. [09:55] aBound, have you done a clean install or an upgrade? [09:56] mysticsoul, Clean install good thing for an SSD drive. [09:56] But seems my xorg.conf file is blank I assume that's normal? [09:56] weird problem rvm installed 1.9.2 ruby but when i use ruby -v in bash there is nothin help plz i paste here deatils of bash https://gist.github.com/1520826 [09:56] aBound, xorg.conf being blank is normal. You probably won't have an xorg.conf file. [09:57] !webmin | ribot [09:57] ribot: ".. webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files.." [09:57] ribot: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [09:57] mysticsoul, Is there any particular lines I need to add in order for the resolution to change? [09:58] I'm happier using this version because it just works... haha I can then get on with my day when the nvidia driver is fixed. [09:58] plz help me [09:58] aBound, you should try a format and clean install on the SSD. It should be fine. [09:58] it's clearly a conspiracy where zentyal paid ubuntu to advocate them and disable webmin [09:59] ! help | cloudgeek [09:59] cloudgeek: 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 [09:59] aBound, are you using the open source nVidia driver or the proprietary one? [09:59] mysticsoul, Do another format and reinstall it? [09:59] haha [09:59] sorry my mistake [09:59] cloudgeek sorry didn't see your other message [09:59] mysticsoul, I just installed the binary nvidia driver and I'm assuming it has to be configured. [09:59] ribot: hehe - basically its a bad idea, to give any web-application full (root-)access to config-files. [09:59] aBound, you can try that but as a last resort. [10:00] aBound, okay, what happens if you open display settings and try changing the resolution?> [10:00] i am using ubuntu server 11.10 , weird problem rvm installed 1.9.2 ruby but when i use ruby -v in bash there is nothin help plz i paste here deatils of bash https://gist.github.com/1520826 [10:01] hey === alexander is now known as Guest75959 [10:02] mysticsoul, It's saying it appears your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics vendor's tool instead? [10:03] hey i installed my ubuntu and used the whole hardisk for ubuntu but i want to put back on windows and when i try install windows 7 it cant see my hardisc [10:03] qualcuno può darmi qualche dritta? [10:03] Is there any command to restart X? [10:03] hi everyone. does anyone knows how to make possible to access usb devices without having to write sudo appname all the time (the app uses libusb to gain access to usb device) [10:04] aBound, try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [10:04] metaspike, I tried that command but it does not connect. [10:04] mysticsoul, Let's just hope when I do that nothing fooks up. [10:04] brb [10:04] aBound, you should be fine. [10:05] llutz: I'm configuring Dovecot and I'm having some trouble finding the things this tutorial is trying to show me: http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Ubuntu_11.04&p=mail&f=2 [10:05] it was just an example. -g HxW was the point [10:05] can you guys tell me what to do i used my whole drive for ubuntu but i want to be able to install windows again how can i do that [10:06] anyone known? [10:06] metaspike, I've tried the rdesktop command but it does not work. It says "unable to connect". Also, that is not what I'm after. I need the X screen resolution to be set higher but for that I need to set the virtual size to 3360x1050. Is there a way to do that other than through xorg.conf? [10:08] Guest75959: what you could do, and this is what I would do, is use a LiveCD to format the entire HDD and then install Windows 7 from there [10:08] lalagirl: Or you could just use the format tool on the Windows 7 disc... [10:08] Guest75959 or you could use GParted [10:08] jutnux that's true. [10:08] hi there [10:08] Guest8473 Hi [10:09] whats this life cd you talk about [10:09] what's advantages of using this shebang -> #!/usr/bin/env sh ?? [10:09] anyone know how to connect from outside computer into virtualbox machine? [10:09] Guest8473 just an ordinary Ubuntu installation disk [10:09] boot live cd use gparted, shrink linuxpart in the beginning, and add a new part as sda1 for windows and edit /etc/fstab to suit your new location for linux and upate grub. probebly easyer to copy your data and do a full reinstall of windows and linux ;-) [10:09] lalagirl: check dovecot.conf for the lines needed, ignore line-numbering [10:09] Ahh, I just love when stuff just doesn't go the right way. :P [10:09] Guest75959 just an ordinary Ubuntu installation disk [10:09] aBound, did that work? [10:09] Guest75959 LiveCD [10:09] alright [10:09] ;-) [10:10] What does 'desc' stand for in /etc/mc/mc.ext? [10:10] lalagirl : is a bot? [10:10] mysticsoul, Nope gave me errors like implying Failed to load nvidia module or some stuff like that. [10:10] mysticsoul, In my hardware drivers it says: my nvidia drivers are installed. [10:11] aBound, you should try removing and reinstalling the open source drivers. [10:11] mysticsoul, Any way I can install that open source driver? [10:11] ha [10:11] Guest8473 huh? I'm not a bot [10:12] aBound, try this but the open source one - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [10:13] Downside is I'll eventually have to install the binary nvidia driver. [10:13] lalagirl : did you know how to ssh from outside machine into virtualbox machine? [10:13] aBound, you can try with the open source driver. If that works then you can try experimenting further or leave it at that. [10:14] Guest8473 uh…. I think so [10:14] llutz http://paste.ubuntu.com/783276/ [10:15] mysticsoul, Looks like they're already installed I wonder why they aren't being used when I never had the nvidia driver installed. [10:15] Guest8473 lets try, what is your virtualbox machine? is it a ubuntu system? [10:15] Beforehand. [10:15] Well, my nVidia graphics card is a 580M 1.5GB be a waste not to have that driver. [10:15] hi all! [10:16] aBound, you will have to uninstall the proprietary drivers and the open source ones and then try reinstalling the open source ones only. [10:16] i cant install wow anymore used to be able with winetricks but it dont work anymore [10:16] lalagirl : yes it is ubuntu and I'm using sun oracle virtualbox [10:16] how can i install wow [10:16] mysticsoul, Will do. [10:16] aBound, once you have rebooted and confirmed the open source ones work then you can try removing them and try the binary ones. [10:16] lalagirl: check /etc/dovecot/conf.d/* for more configs [10:17] i would like to install wow on ubuntu how can i do this now [10:17] llutz: okay [10:17] Guest8473: okay so open up terminal [10:17] It's so hard to move around with a 800x600 resolution. [10:17] lalagirl : okay [10:17] lalagirl : done [10:17] lalagirl : next? [10:18] who known how do best the sound of ubuntu+intel sound chip ? [10:18] Guest75959: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [10:18] lalagirl: since the layout of configuration-files may change, you shouldn't use tutorials like yours using "change line-number xx into blah". read more general sources to get an idea what you have to do [10:18] Guest8473: then you type "ssh username@ipaddress" fill in username and ip address of the machine you are trying to access [10:19] lalagirl : but even though I ping the ip address from my machine to this virtualbox machine, it won't word [10:19] Guest8473: it's usually the first user you created for that machine.. and the ip address depends on the location of the machine you are trying to access [10:19] work * [10:19] brb in maybe 30 mins or less. [10:20] lalagirl : I can ping from my virtualbox to another machine on the outside [10:20] but not vice versa [10:20] * mysticsoul waves goodbye [10:20] Guest8473: you need to setup bridged networking for the vm [10:21] llutz : how to do that? :) [10:21] Guest8473: edit vm setup in virtualbox [10:21] llutz: I try to work my way using the simplest way possible… that's why I rely those tutorials [10:22] Guest8473: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads#manual [10:22] llutz: that's mainly why I do that… but once again, I'm new to all of this… so why not? [10:22] Hello everyone, can someone tell me whether it is possible to set a virtual screen size without putting it in xorg.conf. [10:22] llutz: and the tutorial is not thaaaat old… it's only one version shy from what i am working with [10:23] mysticsoul: what program are you using for the virtual screen? [10:23] lalagirl, let me explain in detail what I am trying to do. [10:24] lalagirl: it might be not too old but it doesn't work with actual versions. so ask the author how to fix [10:24] setting up a server is HARD WORK! :( [10:24] lalagirl, I am trying to remote using VNC from my laptop running Ubuntu 11.10 to my desktop running the same OS. My laptop resolution is 1280x800 and my desktop is a dual screen running 2 monitors at 1680x1050 each. [10:25] lalagirl, I want to be able to set a higher resolution on my laptop screen so that when I remote on I can pan across to view the entire desktop screen./ [10:25] llutz : how about using host only network? [10:26] lalagirl, I know this was possible using xorg.conf wherein adding a line Virtual 3360x1050 would then allow you to set a higher resolution and pan across the desktop. Is this possible in Ubuntu 11.10? [10:27] mysticsoul: um.. without xorg.conf we're running out of options… i'm not much of an expert, but what i might also try doing is use a different vnc client? [10:28] mysticsoul: is that doable? [10:28] lalagirl, this is not about a vnc client, this is about virtual screen resolution on my laptop. [10:29] What's the latest news on using iTunes or equivalent in Ubuntu? Last I checked, it was impossible. I want my daughter to ditch her Windows partition for a full reinstall of Lubuntu, but she has an iPod Touch. What are the options? [10:29] !itunes | etfb [10:29] etfb: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [10:30] !ipod | etfb [10:30] etfb: 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 [10:30] But how good are they? When I say "impossible", I mean that all those existed but they were so bad that nobody in their right mind would ever touch them. This was maybe two years ago. [10:30] um... [10:30] mysticsoul: okay um…. [10:31] arev there other alternative to ubuntu software centre? [10:31] lalagirl, I know I've been trying to figure this one out for ages but cannot get a concrete answer. [10:32] i've tried to installed ssl on apache2 but now i get error 107: net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR [10:32] mysticsoul: okay maybe you can set xrandr commands in .xprofile === fred is now known as chiiiiiz [10:32] hello!!! [10:32] can anyone help me with a BIG problem : bug during ntfs partition resizing [10:32] lalagirl, how do I set a virtual resolution using xrandr. [10:33] the partition is a VISTA partition, now the HD is mounted on my ubuntu desktop [10:34] gparted says that there is no file system, I need to recover the infos [10:34] mysticsoul: okay um... [10:34] and the content of course... [10:34] mysticsoul: A user’s ~/.xprofile file is executed on Xorg startup if it exists and is executable. You can copy and paste XRandR command line strings into this file so they’re executed when you log in. [10:34] mysticsoul: But the trick is that you're not changing xorg.conf [10:35] chiiiiiz: if you didn't make backups before fiddling with your NTFS drive from within Linux, you may be about to have a bad day. [10:35] mysticsoul: I think... [10:35] lalagirl, I know that bit but I wanted to know how to set a virtual resolution using xrandr? [10:35] mysticsoul: xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 800x600 [10:36] lalagirl, thanks, i'll try that. === fred_ is now known as Guest89709 [10:37] mysticsoul: does it work? [10:38] lalagirl, I'll let you know in 5. [10:38] mysticsoul: okay [10:39] i love ubuntu and you [10:39] smokycat: I love you too. [10:39] how not to love? [10:39] is there any reason I shouldn't leave my new hard drive NTFS formatted? [10:39] for a new ubuntu install? [10:39] what a romantic couple [10:39] forget it [10:39] hehe [10:40] dragoneye< what version did you use [10:40] hot2trot: i would go for ext4 [10:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love [10:40] lalagirl: :-) [10:40] I'm about to blow a new head gasket. hehe [10:40] dragoneye: it's just that it's for an external hard drive, and I have it connected to a server... so the bottle neck in speed will be bandwidth [10:40] dont, its expensive [10:41] good morning everyone [10:41] dragoneye: I was wondering if there were any other reasons not to use NTFS... assuming it is even slower than ext4 [10:41] how can I disable my trackpad when an external mouse is connected? [10:41] hot2trot: so you want it as an external buffer, not a boot drive? [10:41] dragoneye, Indeed it is. [10:41] dragoneye: don't know what an external buffer is... but no I would not boot off it [10:41] sorry to bother. Want someone with some experience in Chromium.

[11:04] Seveas: i did [11:04] iceroot, except that there's no link to that [11:04] MK-- you want a 64bit version [11:05] MK-- amd64 [11:05] Seveas: ctrl +f5 to fix your caching [11:05] the link points to http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso [11:05] but mine isn't amd - it's intel 64 bit [11:05] Seveas: they are fine, i tried them [11:05] MK--, 'amd64' is merely the architecture name [11:05] MK--: no you want amd64 [11:05] MK-- amd64 is an architecture [11:05] other distros call them x86_64 [11:05] lalagirl, its just that many programs on my computer stop upgrading and when I run dist-upgrade its said there is nothing to do [11:05] aah ok [11:06] Seveas: i rechecked all links, all are fine so i guess its a caching-rpoblem on your site === Mud is now known as Guest51408 [11:07] iceroot, intriguing, the links are fine now. I swear they were broken before though :) [11:08] SpiderFred i'm not so sure whats wrong… try using terminal and type in "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" and then copy everything and paste it on paste.ubuntu.com and give us the link so we can take a look [11:08] i hav e an issue with ubuntu 10.04 not detecting my touchpad.. tried out many solutions but it all failed === Brisingr is now known as Guest40270 [11:11] Does anyone know a service such as Google-Voice-And-Talk which is well supported for Linux and Windows (for example by pidgin)?

[11:12] SpiderFred: that's only a peice of the code [11:12] lalagirl: Google Talk is just the "chat" - I need something similar to Google Voice [11:13] ManDay what's wrong with the web interface? [11:13] iceroot: Something like sype, just better supported. [11:13] ispirto: the normal file-permissions [11:13] skype works [11:13] !permissions | ispirto [11:13] lalagirl: It's a plugin... Pretty annoying [11:13] ispirto: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [11:13] i have a dell XPS laptop ( config : i5 ,4gb ram ,500gb HDD) I am running ubuntu 10.04 ...

[11:15] ispirto: then dont put the users in that group [11:15] ispirto: and dont set the "world readable" (see link from ubottu ) [11:15] ManDay https://launchpad.net/gvoice-notifier [11:15] ManDay That's all I know === Mkaysi is now known as M0hi === M0hi is now known as hrahsd [11:15] iceroot, i did chmod o-rwx /dir === hrahsd is now known as Mkaysi [11:16] i guess just don't adding the other users to same group would solve it [11:16] lalagirl: Looks good. Thank you. [11:16] SpiderFred: when you use terminal, save the file, click ctrl+s or somethign to save it as a text file so you can get the whole output [11:16] but the question is how the software would access those files [11:16] ManDay Anytime [11:16] After all, I'd still prefer a working, dedicated Voice/Video chat client which is not Skype, though [11:17] But for the time being, that notifier is a great help [11:17] ManDay, try ekiga [11:17] can i add one user to multiple groups [11:17] ispirto, yes === nyuszika7h is now known as Mohan-chml [11:18] hmm can i add one folder to multiple groups?

[11:19] lalagirl, I dont know what you mean, I pasted all output that I got from my command there's nothing more [11:19] any sip service. ekiga.net for instance [11:19] lalagirl : i did it but nothing happened.. no error message and the touchpad didnt not work [11:20] maxulti: synclient TouchpadOff=0 [11:21] i have a strange question [11:21] why is one file of mine in hebrew even though i specifically installed ubuntu in english [11:21] i think its the systems folder [11:22] its at the top under devices [11:22] lalagirl , i got this error message : "Couldn't find synaptics properties.

[11:26] iceroot, how to achieve this: how to achieve this: http://pastebin.com/fEKexUxM [11:28] msterbrewer, there's no such thing as a 'devices' folder or a 'system' folder. [11:28] what's the full path? [11:28] maxulti: this has to do with xorg.conf or something [11:28] hey can anyone help me and maxulti out? [11:30] Hi, who use garmin for transferring data - please send me private message [11:30] whats the meaning of "gnome 2 fork"? [11:31] ok how do i update my flash player on ubuntu [11:32] i tried going to their site but none of the options were .deb [11:32] and all 3 options which i downloaded wouldnt install [11:32] msterbrewer: install flash from the repositories [11:32] msterbrewer, use the latest from softwarecentre [11:32] ok [11:33] msterbrewer: always try to install from repositories [11:33] didnt think of it === bobi_Ge is now known as hektor [11:33] lalagirl , ok i couldnt find the xorg.conf file [11:33] then ppa or .deb file :) [11:33] maxulti maybe that's why? [11:33] Guys, I have a long question - http://paste.ubuntu.com/783354/ [11:34] insectatorious, I have a short answer: no. [11:34] msterbrewer: open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [11:34] that's it [11:34] k [11:34] maxulti: okay try this [11:35] maxulti: sudo service gdm stop [11:35] maxulti: sudo Xorg -configure [11:35] maxulti: sudo service gdm start [11:35] Seveas: so basically, the only way is to do a clean install of 10.04? [11:35] maxulti: do you use nvidia? [11:35] lalagirl : yeah i do have nvidia [11:35] lol [11:35] insectatorious, that would be the easiest solution [11:36] as long as they tick the box to leave their homedirs intact. [11:36] maxulti: first ... sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... then sudo nvidia-xconfig [11:36] [code]this is code[/code] [11:36] and there u go.. you have a new xorg.conf [11:36] and have a list of software to reinstall (dpkg --get-selections) [11:36] it doesn't work on here [11:37] lalagirl, no, irc isn't a forum :-) [11:37] Seveas: much obliged...

[11:38] now maxulti is stuck in tty [11:38] in panic [11:38] insectatorious, it is kind of [11:38] dkov, those are the alternate cd's. They have no alternate CD's :) [11:39] yeah...stupid me sent them the main cds....gron [11:39] insectatorious, I read something about offline update but can't remember where and so far can't find it.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [11:40] insectatorious, where are you parents from?

I get a messageL Can not find device uuid .... Please help me if you can. I trying this now for 2 days. [11:41] easy on the triggers share, the question about the parents is related to upgrade options... [11:41] xukun: sorry I've never used RAID.. [11:41] hooyo188 [11:41] xukun, if that is a password, I'd suggest you change it :) [11:42] :) [11:42] weak password [11:42] Seveas, thanks but that not a password [11:42] kk, just making sure :) [11:42] Hello, I'm having trouble with wireless on my new laptop, would anyone be able to help me with this? [11:42] Ho0yo188 [11:42] :p [11:43] sferauaa, maybe. If you have some more details. [11:43] is it dell [11:43] Is it me or because of Unity there is less people helping [11:44] Seveas: when I run lspci, it shows it as 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01) [11:44] or maybe it's because Christmas [11:44] * sattu94 :) [11:44] i dont celebrate chrismas [11:44] im jewish [11:44] sferauaa, that's your wired connection, not the wireless one [11:44] share, I'd blame it on christmas :) [11:45] Seveas Aah that makes sense, what other output would you like me to give you? [11:45] sferauaa, most built-in wireless things are actually usb devices. Try lsusb. [11:45] I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop and want to Install all of the MOZILLA programs ... do i have to do this individually or is there a Suite-install program ?? [11:45] sferauaa, also, try explaining the problem ;) [11:46] mcbaine1, individually. But it's just firefox and thunderbird, right? [11:46] mcbaine1: add PPA for Firefox and Thunderbird :) and sudo apt-get install firefox thunderbird [11:47] no sunbird, seamonkey .. i basically wanna be a mozilla tester ?? [11:47] share, why a ppa? [11:47] Seveas, here's the output of lsusb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/783368/ and basically what's happening is when I go to the network manager applet it shows up as if the computer only has a wired ethernet card and not a wireless card [11:47] Seveas: to get updates :) [11:47] (g)rsync - how to make empty files after finished sync to list dates of backup? anything like touch `date +%F` is not working [11:47] ie, when I right click it there's not option to disable wireless, only to disable networkknig altogether [11:47] Yay! Finally got the nVidia drivers installed for 10.04. [11:47] Seveas, do u by any chance know thing or 2 about raid configuration with gpt? [11:47] raven, touch "$(date +%F)" [11:48] sferauaa, Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:0138 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. seems to be it. Try searching help.ubunut.com for realtek. [11:48] Right, no one is talking to me so i will install anyway.... and go to a #mozilla channel.. [11:48] Seveas, thanks for your help! will have a look now [11:48] sferauaa, there's a driver you need. It may be as simple as launching jockey and clicking the right buttons [11:49] hi everyone. how can I access a usb device using libusb without having to write sudo? [11:49] bye everyone!!! goodbye for now [11:49] sinosoidal_, maybe chown'ing the relevant device to your user will do it. Or maybe there's a group you need to be member of [11:50] llutz bye [11:50] xukun, not much I'm afraid. [11:50] Seveas, same effect with the `` syntax: it only creates a file named $(date +%F) [11:50] Seveas, np [11:50] Seveas, do you think I will need to change udev rules for this? [11:50] raven, did you use double quotes? [11:51] raven, and how are you running this? [11:51] Ubuntu 10.04 rocks stable as a rock. [11:51] aBound: agree [11:51] sinosoidal_, maybe. It's hard to give an accurate answer without more info (like current owner/group/permissions/name of the device node) [11:51] deactivating device (reason 'managed') <--- I get this when I hook up my iPhone. what is this? [11:51] Seveas, yes i did - i use grsync and put it into special options to "run before sync" [11:51] aBound: the best would be Ubuntu 12.04 without Unity [11:52] share, Probably would but waiting till 12.04 stable enough would be nice. [11:52] raven, ah, that doesn't run it via a proper shell I guess. [11:52] I don't know grsync that well [11:52] Seveas, ok but how to do it without a shell? [11:52] Seveas, crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 189, 17 2011-12-26 09:44 018 [11:52] -script [11:52] Unity is ruining Ubuntu for many people [11:53] im stuck with Maverick [11:53] sinosoidal_, yeah, chown for now and udev rules change later seems to be what you need [11:53] I'm on Lucid [11:53] share, unity is getting better though. I found it unusable in 11.04 and somewhat ok in 11.10 [11:53] Downside is I'll have to reinstall it tomorrow. [11:53] though I'm mostly using a zillion terminator windows anyway :) [11:53] Was fooking around with settings and of course messed up something. [11:54] But found an awesome ppa for updating the nvidia drivers. [11:54] raven, wrap your touch in a small shellscript and have grsync execute that [11:55] Seveas, ok seems no way without a script. how to give the preset name to that script to write it to the filename too? (have several jobs in grsync) [11:57] raven, http://paste.pocoo.org/show/526012/. Then call it as scriptname_here jobname_here [11:58] Seveas, ok i'll try that tnx for now [11:58] Dang, this sucks with 10.04 I have to find all these updated pkgs. [11:58] brb [11:58] aBound, be brave and update :) [11:58] * Seveas is running 12.04 alpha already :) [11:59] Seveas, HA! wasn't expecting you to be running that. [11:59] brb [12:00] how do i start httrack gui on ubuntu? [12:00] Seveas, How stable is the alpha? [12:01] so far the only problem I have is that evolution doesn't recognize any ssl certificate [12:01] unity is much less crashy than in 11.10 [12:01] anyone knows how to start httrack gui? [12:01] I prefer thunderbird over evolution. :P [12:01] I hate thunderbird [12:01] Not that evo is much better. All mailclients suck :) [12:01] hehe [12:02] Seveas, Except for gmail right. lol [12:02] neh, gmail sucks too :) [12:02] Awww... [12:02] /nick TheGrinch [12:02] :) [12:02] apt-get install httrack to install gui,really? [12:02] debianed, you can install it from the software center too [12:03] Seveas, It'll be hard for me to switch back and fourth. Does 12.04 support proper graphical boot splashes? [12:03] sveneas:that i goptta try [12:03] aBound, all ubuntu versions since 6.something do [12:04] Seveas, When I was using 11.10 the resolution was all fooked up. [12:04] Seveas, Somebody said cause nvidia drivers didn't support KMS. [12:04] aBound, if that's what's caused your problem, it's unlikely to be fixed already [12:05] Seveas, My graphical boot splash is completely black on this version. [12:05] Blah! [12:05] Seveas, hm i do not find out how to run this script - no sh, no bash, no ./script.sh - errors all the time. man does not help too.... [12:05] I'll have to give 12.04 a test run in virtualbox tomorrow it's 4am. [12:06] 'night [12:06] installed,success [12:06] Have a goodnight Seveas [12:06] it's 1pm here in the civilized world already. Family visits soon... oh they joys of christmas :) [12:06] raven, did you make it executable? [12:07] if so, try this as command: /full/path/to/yourscript.sh. Otherwise do: bash /full/path/to/script.sh [12:09] If I do mdadm --examine --scan I get this as result. ARRAY /dev/md/0 metadata=1.2 UUID=37ee64cf:3d91b378:74487e62:e933d00a name=ubuntu:0 this can be right? using raid 0 of 2 disk [12:09] help where to download steam and install it ? [12:10] Seveas, yes [12:10] xukun, that can be right. It detected a raid array. [12:10] pooltable, https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux [12:11] if I wanted my 'cd' command to execute 'ls' after its execution, how would that alias be/ [12:12] alias cd='cd $1; ls' [12:12] That would get very annoying, very fast. :-) [12:12] really? [12:12] Seveas, but why does it says ARRAY /dev/md/0 should't it say ARRAY /dev/md0 sins that is what I created with mdamd? [12:13] $1 will get expanded when creating the alias, not when calling it. use a function for this [12:13] Odaym, actually, this will work better: alias cd='cd "$1"; ls' [12:13] Odaym: Quite. If I want to see what's in the directory, it's a quick ls away. [12:13] llutz_, no, that's why I put the alias in single quotes, not double :) [12:13] I'm used to ls'ing also.. [12:13] I used to have this alias [12:13] it got annoying within a week [12:13] llutz is right though, because look at this [12:13] http://www.talug.org/events/20030813/cmdline_tips_n_tricks_aug03.html [12:14] the guy uses a function for it [12:14] Odaym: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:14] Odaym, no, llutz_ is not right. $1 doesn't get expanded in single quotes [12:14] hi. Somebody knows where can I see the kernel messages? I saw some 'trans replayed' messages and I'd like to review the whole thing. [12:15] Petter, this command: dmesg | less [12:15] Seveas, it is executable [12:15] hey huys [12:15] i've got a prob [12:16] Where does Ubuntu (11.10) store it? [12:16] with my BSNL EVDO modem [12:16] Seveas: you cannot call bash aliase with parameter ($1...$*), it won't work [12:16] Petter, the kernel has a ring buffer that stores these messages. The dmesg command displays the contents of this buffer. [12:17] llutz_, it works. I tried it before pasting it in here [12:17] the OS is not recognising the modem device and the net is not working [12:17] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/526018/ [12:17] ^-- llutz_ === Shirt is now known as blackshirt [12:22] Hello, in settings I'mtryin to make my laptop touchpad faster it just doesn't get any faster , a normal mouse gets faster but not touchpad [12:24] if I compile a .c file on a separate partition (other than where ubuntu is installed) and try to run it , it says permission denied , how can I fix it ? === max is now known as Guest12658 [12:24] silv3r_m00n, is that a fat or ntfs partition perhaps? [12:25] its an ext4 partition and fstab options for it are errors=remount-ro,auto,exec,rw,user [12:26] silv3r_m00n: ro and rw? [12:26] silv3r_m00n: ah sorry, remount-ro [12:26] silv3r_m00n, ok, and how did you compile the file? [12:26] yup [12:27] gcc main.c [12:27] the file just has 1 line printf("Hello World"); [12:27] yeah, that won't work [12:27] ofcourse with the int main [12:27] compiles and run on ubuntu partition but not on any other partition [12:27] how i know the video driver are in use in my system? [12:28] Seveas, ? [12:28] Seveas: it just says bash: ./a.out: Permission denied [12:29] silv3r_m00n, what does 'file a.out; ls -la a.out' say?

My first guess was (and all evidence except your mount options point to) noexec in the mount options [12:30] is it currently mounted with noexec, despite your fstab entry being different?

[12:33] ariel011, they're in ~/.mozilla/firefox//bookmarks*.json [12:33] is it because of this errors=remount-ro,auto,exec,rw,user the user option makes it noexec , so should I put the exec after the user ? [12:34] ariel011, they're in ~/.mozilla/firefox//bookmarks.html actually. the jsonfiles are in the bookmarkbackups directory. [12:34] silv3r_m00n, maybe. I always stick to just 'defaults' for mount options [12:35] I want to have something similiar to google's home page, but running on my local computer for privacy reasons.

[13:35] I prefer unity though [13:35] personally I forced myself to get accustomed to Unity and after a few days found myself missing it, just nice to see in daily cd they have worked out some annoyances I found [13:36] found it application/pdf=gimp.desktop;evince.desktop;AdobeReader.desktop; [13:36] :) [13:36] "learning curve" was not big after being already accustomed with os x and win7 styles [13:36] one problem with unityy is that its not very easily customisable [13:37] yes Id still like a setting to always show menus and old style scroll bars (the later should be possible from changing a setting in file directly) [13:39] heh [13:39] rymate1234: thats only one problem [13:39] lol [13:39] I quite like these new scroll bars [13:39] bbl [13:39] I hardly ever use scroll bars [13:39] scroll wheels ftw [13:39] rymate1234: my wheel is broken and the mouse is otherwise awesome [13:40] sometimes the wheel just takes a hour to scroll a large list, when you can do it faster with a small motion on normal scroll bar;) [13:40] even on a not broken wheel [13:42] wind-, I have a mouse which has a turbo scroll mode [13:44] that might be nice.. I also like the scrolling with apple mouses and multi-touch pads even though the mouses were otherwise horrible. it is quick and precise but with the acceleration also fast when necessary === Guest48061 is now known as robglas [13:45] but as long as its a traditional wheel with large steps, sometimes working, sometimes not, and otherwise great DPI and comfort Ill stick to traditional scroll bars (sometimes) === Bi-Dad is now known as Cumlov_er [13:45] is there a preferred way to copy a 2T file over network?

[13:48] rymate1234: I don't *think* you can do that, but there are plenty of ogg to mp3 conversion programs out there [13:48] yeats, link? [13:48] xukun: netcat would be faster, but it won't do checksums/resume etc [13:49] DeltaEpsilon: I think that should happen if you just dont specify a shell for the user [13:49] llutz, then is rsync what I want [13:49] xukun, Or if you prefer GUI, install grsync; a front-end GUI to rsync. :-) [13:50] !info soundconverter | rymate1234 [13:50] rymate1234: soundconverter (source: soundconverter): GNOME application to convert audio files into other formats.

[13:56] maybe [13:56] do just download [13:56] nixmaniack: I don't know what the specific text would be, but maybe your card's model or something like that? I would just do 'dmesg | less' and browse [13:57] pooltable: maybe change to the faster repos...? [13:57] how do i do that ?

[14:19] pooltable: there is a way to log in Chatzilla - just dig into the menus [14:19] chroot, a lil bit knowledge i have, but i ain't expert [14:20] nixmaniack, what do you mean "it's there, i'm browsing thro it now"? [14:20] pooltable: I found this one, may be it will help http://25yearsofprogramming.com/blog/20071123.htm [14:20] and do you know the order when we login our system?

Thanks [14:22] solexious: yeah - one of my friends stumbled on that - very useful ;-) [14:26] so guys [14:26] any idea why ubuntu software centre is opening a blank screen? [14:27] chroot, got it! :) [14:27] nixmaniack, it works? [14:28] chroot, yep! :) [14:28] and gconfedit si a software? [14:28] I'm trying to get my wireless card working again. A version upgrade stopped it working. nmcli dev shows the device, and nmcli dev list shows mostly what I expect. But nmcli con list shows nothing even after nmcli nm wifi on [14:28] right? [14:28] chroot, just a sec, pasting the command [14:28] chroot, gconftool --type string --set /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Profile0/background_image "/home/muneeb/Pictures/gnuemacs.png" [14:28] rymate1234, checked any logs? [14:29] jsn: have you tried booting to a previous kernel? [14:30] chroot, you might need to change the 'Profile0', as i have another profile in which i was trying [14:30] jsn, logs? [14:30] so , this command will set the bg [14:30] chroot, yes [14:30] rymate1234, Stuff under /var/log that might be reporting what is happening. [14:30] good! [14:30] does the Banshee couldnt open the AAC directly? [14:30] chroot, you can browse through various options in gconf-editor [14:31] nixmaniack, can i set background wallpaper on my console ie., alt+ctrl+f1 [14:31] mneptok, I have not. Truthfully, it hasn't worked in a while. I just finally am going to take care of it. [14:31] jsn, where can i find these.... logs... you speak of [14:31] jsn: does lspci report the device as actually in existence? [14:31] rymate1234, Generally in /var... [14:32] bogor, i ain't expert, i just discovered this hack as i wan needing this, but i think you can't on VT [14:32] mneptok, it reports it as : Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) [14:32] rymate1234, Open up a terminal, right? > cd /var/log [14:32] rymate1234: open a terminal. type "software-center" (no quotes). the app will launch. wait a little while so that package lists can be updated. if you still see a blank window, look in the terminal window you used for any ouut from the app that may be informative. [14:32] bogor, but if it's framebuffered VT, then you might be able to do that, but that needs some research! [14:33] jsn: does the machine in question have a hardware switch to disable wireless? [14:33] hi everybody, how can i forbiden the gust session in ubuntu 11.10? [14:33] mneptok, Thanks for asking. Yes, indeed it dows. The switch is set to enable wireless. [14:33] nixmaniac, we cant on a vt. But ubuntu is using framebuffer i think. And all mordern machine are using framebuffer it hink, So the gconf will not work. But it should be possible to set background images on framebuffer [14:33] i found that you can login to guest without a password [14:33] why [14:33] jsn: check the BIOS, too. [14:34] mneptok, for the hardware switch status, you mean? [14:34] hmmm [14:34] terminal output [14:34] jsn: for yet another switch, this time in software [14:34] bogor, yes, you are right, but i haven't checked can we use framebuffer so i can't tell much [14:34] excuse me,does anybody knows that why I couldnt open the AAC files with Banshee??? [14:34] outputs this 2011-12-26 14:34:34,235 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.em - INFO - EM's: 17 15 21 [14:34] Hello all! [14:35] * jsn has never checked bios from command line before... is trying lshw [14:35] rymate1234: i get the same thing, and software-center works for me. so that's not the issue. [14:35] hmmm [14:35] well [14:35] chroot: set "allow_guest=false" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and ask the stupid maintainer why this is true by default [14:36] after outputting that, there is no more output, and it just goes back to the original terminal state, ready to accept a new comand [14:36] Does any one know , how to set background image on ubuntu 11.10 on a terminal console on framebuffer (ie alt+ctrl+f1)? [14:37] synaptic works fine though [14:37] bogor: there's no way, AFAIK [14:37] I'm trying Xubuntu for the first time. It's amazing. Very light and useful. [14:38] bogor: you can set it in gnome-terminal. [14:38] yes, llutz thanks , === Nex4 is now known as Nax [14:38] douglas-web-dev: i have xfce just the way i like it, it's my favourite DE [14:38] Stanley, i have seen tux image appear in console(alt+ctrl+f1) in gentoo. So i know it is possible , but not sure how. [14:39] auronandace, cool :) [14:39] bogor: you see it at the boot time, right? [14:39] auronandace, it's light, but work as it should... [14:40] I wish you could download more themes for unity :( [14:40] I forget, in Synaptic, if I want to "completely remove", all previous kernels (saving current and 1 preceding) so that menu.lst, (10.04 with legacy GRIB),no longer lists them, do I remove 'kernel', 'header', 'image', or all of the above? TIA. [14:40] douglas-web-dev: its the customisability i like, need a hand with anything? [14:41] auronandace, I got a Phenon X4 here, but I'm not taking real advantage.. I got 1GB DDR2 memory. [14:41] Sidewinder1: I think you should remove all of them. ;) [14:41] stanley00, i am sure whether it was only boot time or after that also. But it was no GUI or grub splash and it was console. [14:41] auronandace, Well I know feel things, just used Kubuntu before and Mandriva on KDE. [14:41] B'cos i tried hard to get gentoo up and running . later gave due to misconfigured network issue. [14:41] auronandace, do you recommend something for a starter? [14:42] Stanley00, That's what I thought, but wasn't sure; many thanks! :-) [14:42] hi [14:42] why does my Banshee couldnt open the AAC files??? [14:42] douglas-web-dev: recomend something? what do you want to do? [14:42] what is the most effect way to change any key command? is it through the individual program you are running or the OS settings ubuntu 10.04 [14:42] bogor: in gentoo, there a prog called fbsplash, I think that prog show an image on frame buffer console [14:42] Sidewinder1: you are welcome ;) [14:43] Circular, you may need to install the ubuntu restricted pac- [14:43] oh [14:43] Off for some system maintenance.. G'Day all! [14:44] Things are going well by now... But to be perfect, I'd like that funcion of draging windows to the side of screen.. [14:44] auronandace, do you know how to do that? [14:44] Stanley00, thanks for the pointer, i will do my home work and post the results in my blog so that other if interested can find out. [14:44] how do i go about creating a shortcut for a app in bin folder so that any user can use it [14:45] ? [14:45] auronandace, so that it occupy exactly half-screen [14:45] douglas-web-dev: oh, you'll likely want to install compiz then [14:45] bogor: good luck with that. ;) [14:45] Cool.. But wouldn't it make my computer slower? [14:45] douglas-web-dev: replace xfwm with compiz and install cssm [14:46] !cssm | douglas-web-dev [14:46] jmscomtech: use ln to make a link [14:46] ? [14:46] !compiz | douglas-web-dev [14:46] douglas-web-dev: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [14:46] auronandace, thank you. [14:46] jmscomtech: you can use "ln" command to make a link, it's some kind of shortcut. [14:46] auronandace, is it easy to xfwm with compiz? [14:47] douglas-web-dev: i'm more of a traditional user, don't need all the fancy effects [14:47] douglas-web-dev: yes but in my experience compiz has always been a little buggy, i don't tend to use it [14:47] help can i do an upgrade from a mount iso if so how ? === Mud is now known as Guest74399 [14:48] hello [14:48] does not open a file pps. use ubunut 11.10 [14:48] I see.

[14:50] blognewb: That from Linus. [14:51] stanley00 and how do i get it so anyone an use the link? [14:51] jmscomtech: if you made a link in /bin, or in the $PATH, other users can use that prog just by typing its name [14:52] i have to sudo the name to run it [14:53] Where is the "toolbar" in Banshee 2.2.1?

[14:54] auronandace, I see. I just want this funcionality. I'd like if there was another way of doing so... This would improve a lot my productivity... [14:54] douglas-web-dev: apart from compiz or kde i don't know how to make that happen [14:55] does not open a file pps. use ubuntu 11.10 [15:01] auronandace, Ok. Thank you. I'll try to get compiz optimized here, later. So I will get a lot of extra second each time I have to do this. :) [15:01] auronandace, Nice to meet you. [15:01] any idea when the ubuntu 12.04 disk image size is going to be able to fit on a regular cd? [15:02] samorian: I dont think it will ;) [15:02] Stanley00, that's too bad [15:02] does alternate install CD comes with desktop manager? [15:03] nixmaniack: yes, it does [15:03] samorian: 12.04 is discuss in #ubuntu+1, if you interested :D [15:03] ok thanks Stanley00 [15:04] Stanley00, okay, thanks! do we have to specify somewhere to install it? My friend didn't get any GUI that's why i asked! [15:04] bored [15:04] nixmaniack: no, it will install GUI interface by default, by the installer is in text mode. [15:05] is there a headless version that isn't the server version? [15:05] stripping down ubuntu can be a chore [15:05] !minimal | samorian then use this [15:05] samorian then use this: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:05] Stanley00, okay. [15:05] llutz_, ok [15:06] is there any advantage for me to upgrade to 10.10 on this laptop or should i stay at 10.04 as it performs just what is needed for me??? [15:06] ah yes that is what it is called [15:06] minimal [15:07] leftist: 10.04 is good also, since it work well. [15:07] yeah stanley00 [15:07] so i'll just keep this laptop at 10.04 then. [15:07] thanks === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [15:07] if it works it isn't broken, hence you don't _need_ to fix it. [15:08] yeah my feeling exactly just that other programmers are always saying keep up with the joneses but like it says if not broke dont fix it [15:08] thank [15:08] later [15:10] hi everyone, first of all Merry Christmas to you all :) [15:10] I'm updating 11.10, is it safe for me to install flash at this moment? Or should I rather wait until the updates are finished? [15:11] i personally use firefox's flash wizard (i think that is what it is called) [15:11] lubby: you should wait, since you cant install any apps while it's upgrading [15:12] silly thing just happened .. I accidentally clicked and dragged a folder into another folder in my home directory .. is there any way to figure out what I did here? [15:13] Stanley00: I see, it's possible but there would be a big chance to break something... [15:13] delinquentme: try Ctrl+Z [15:13] Stanley00: it should be off by default for noobs like me :) [15:13] did [15:13] no luck :D [15:13] lubby: how is it possible?

[15:16] either I did through apt or by downloading the package from adobe [15:17] in any case I remember doing this with 8.04 [15:17] or version below that [15:17] that was probably also the reason why I broke stuff :( [15:17] ah i see [15:18] Where is the "toolbar" in Banshee 2.2.1?

[15:50] so i've scrapped that plan and ordered the TP-link card (which uses an atheros chipset listed on the ath9k support list) [15:51] you do what I do - buy hardware that linux supports [15:52] Hi adminis, how do I ask a question? please help [15:52] arent you asking one now? [15:52] pcoder: you just post your question in here :P [15:53] like you just did. but unless you give details, we cant really read minds, so... [15:53] pcoder: Just describe your situation as best you can, give some detail and ask your question. [15:53] I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a partition on my laptop dell vostro 3400 [15:53] My problem is The system gets too heated and the fan makes too much noise .. [15:54] I have windows too, which works silently [15:54] any sugggestions would be helpful [15:54] Thanks [15:54] pcoder: similar issues on a Dell Latitude E6500... but laptops generally run hot anyways [15:54] pcoder: afaict, there's no fix atm, or at least not an *easy* fix [15:55] pcoder: this question comes up often in the Dell section on the ubuntu forums :P [15:55] and so far i have yet to see a true resolution [15:55] :( [15:55] Would another version of OS be of any help?? [15:56] pcoder: its assumed that it has something to do with fan control, or that the processor and stuff are always running and are thereby generating more heat, hence the increased fan speeds... [15:56] ok i have Mplayer installed how do i change the skin ? [15:56] pcoder: not really, the issue has existed since at least Jaunty (9.04) [15:57] pcoder: i have advice though... just dont put your laptop on a surface which obstructs the fan port(s) [15:57] pcoder: that'll help prevent the thing from overheating and increasing fan speeds more [15:57] Resistance: I am already following that advice :) [15:58] :P [15:58] Resistance: I hear the issue has something to do with the BIOS?? [15:59] im waiting for nVidia to make a laptop designed to run up to 100 deg C :P [15:59] pcoder: where'd you hear that, because if the issue were in BIOS it'd be on Windows too ;P [16:00] !chrome [16:01] Resistance: Here http://askubuntu.com/questions/21161/fan-making-noise-while-running-ubuntu [16:02] pcoder: if you notice, it doesnt have any accepted answers ;P [16:02] pcoder: just because the first message suggests it has BIOS issues, doesn't mean that's true. Remember that post was for an Acer, not a Dell [16:02] Resistance: ya thats truee [16:03] as well, Dell doesn't issue BIOS updates very often, and also Dell does not officially support Ubuntu anymore (they used to sell systems with it preinstalled) [16:04] hello [16:04] ahhh [16:04] Anyone able to get around the "btrfs: unable to remove the only writeable device" error when removing a device from a multi-device BTRFS pool?

I need to add keyboard shortcuts to switch between them, as I had yesterday before re-install. [16:50] hrm [16:51] officelibre doesn't show up in alt-tab either. [16:51] gridbag try apt-get update [16:51] and the app-list switcher looks goofy. [16:52] reboot? [16:52] do I need to be sudo to use xrandr ?

Lets say I made a new game for Linux. It makes save game files, what is the most responsible place on the filesystem to place them?

When it gets to “Selecting and Installiny Files“ I get an error, that there was something wrong with the installing...

[16:55] lantizia: why should a user access it? make it loadable from app [16:55] llutz, for backup? [16:55] zxiest: SQLite is now included in php5, not as a library iirc [16:55] Jymmmm: I am not familiar with all xrandr details. I'd consult the xrandr manpage. [16:55] lantizia: anyone with unix-like experence will look there anyway if they want to edit it or back it up [16:56] bullgard4: thanks =) [16:56] Jymmmm what should I do here? Install php5? [16:56] Jymmmm I just don't want to receive all these emails.. :-) [16:56] Any help? [16:56] zxiest: sounds like it's already installed, just comment out the line in the php.ni file that calls that library. [16:56] AndroUser if you have a question [16:56] Jymmmm cool.. thanks :-) [16:56] php.ini and restart your httpd [16:57] zxiest, just install the module. [16:57] empathy doesn't seem to save any accounts i create [16:57] there is a raw image of a disk, the whole disk. is there anyway to mount that somewhere and extract some files from that? (this is not like a raw image of a partition, so it is not possible to mount it with loop option) [16:57] yekoms: it's built in now, no module needed [16:57] Bsims, llutz: "Desktop", "Documents", "Downloads", "Music", "Pictures", "Public", "Templates", "Videos" <-- all these by default are in home, I'm essentially trying to work out if there should be a "Games" as well or if it has been purposefully left out. [16:57] lantizia: sry i'm not playing games but "backups" should cover $HOME with all dirs, even hidden dirs. [16:58] Create one if you want... but you asked me where I'd put it [16:58] does anyone know where I change xterm colors? Like I know I can do -fg -bg, but certain colors are hard to see (mostly this really dark blue that is typically comments) [16:58] this logitech 330 usb works perfectly under ubuntu. just plug it in and it works. i spent all day yesterday discovering this motherboard's mic is busted.

[16:58] bullgard4, common problem? [16:59] lantizia: who tells the user to backup "~/Games" if it exist? he doesn't know it's important [16:59] well who (freedesktop.org maybe?) came up with the idea of these folders ("Desktop", "Documents", "Downloads", "Music", "Pictures", "Public", "Templates", "Videos") with special icons anyway? [16:59] and are they consistent on all linux distro's? [17:00] eutheria: Seems to be a common problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5215/empathy-doesnt-seem-to-be-saving-my-display-picture [17:01] lantizia: idk, i never cared about this and i never would trust those "recommendations". [17:01] bullgard4, not just my display pic, it forgets all my user info each reload [17:01] lantizia why not create the Games folder manually? [17:01] llutz, it is Freedesktop, a part of xdg [17:01] just found it [17:01] lantizia: gnome did, and no its not standard [17:01] eutheria: I understood that well. I gave you only one example. [17:01] lantizia: there are just too many applications not using those and they will drive users into trouble if he rely on those [17:02] Bsims, llutz: from what I can tell they aren't created if enabled=false in /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf - and xdg is the base spec from FD [17:02] bullgard4, sometimes i don't do a good job of making myself understoof [17:02] err understood [17:02] lantizia: which is just another "club" of devs creating new rules. they might be usefull, some day when all distros/devs follow them [17:03] lantizia: until then, _i_ wouldn't give too much on it [17:03] llutz, i'll just do ~/.game [17:03] eutheria: To get a more constructive solution, please consult Launchpad - bugs - Empathy. [17:04] llutz, just wanted to be absolutely sure there wasn't somewhere better for the save games since it's user-created documents not config [17:04] lantizia: better to use the name-of-the-game, to make it clear what it belongs to [17:04] llutz, yeah that was an example lol [17:04] lantizia: too generic when talking about games (for me) ;) [17:04] sry [17:05] lantizia: and don't worry too much about free-desktop... everytime Gnome reinvents the wheel (NOW with 7 sides for a smoother ride)... they stick it on freedesktop and say its now a standard rewrite everything to how we are doing it this week [17:06] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/379761/+index?comments=all [17:06] lol [17:06] Ubuntu bug 379761 in firefox (Ubuntu) "MASTER - Font hinting does not honour gnome-settings in Firefox" [High,Triaged] [17:06] :-) === miguel is now known as Guest91834 [17:06] TEST [17:06] I downgraded. did not fancy gnome 3 [17:06] ola [17:07] tuga? === root is now known as Guest30429 [17:07] good consept, but too scripty...

Running the same command on other sites though usually yields tons of PDFs and DOCs. [19:43] Sorry for all unknown words, [19:43] Emanon: empathy seems to have a sasl handler anyways, so it probably can handle it. [19:43] Santies: if you prefer to use Polish, /join #ubuntu-pl channel [19:44] Even after ang I can help [19:45] Ok, so I'll just assume that empathy doesn't support sasl, thanks so much.

Version 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 (oneiric), package size 7811 kB, installed size 22504 kB [20:47] iceroot [20:47] Pp7: is it the same as a fresh user? [20:47] Ramir00: is 3.6.1 a stable-release? [20:47] ActionParsnip: yes this is after fresh install [20:47] I've seen recommendations for and against different brands of cd-r for burning LiveCDs. but I'm not having much luck finding them right now. what cd-r brand should I buy to ensure a successful burn? [20:48] Pp7: are you fully updated? [20:48] yes [20:48] Ademan-remote: every cd-r should work [20:48] it has about 25 minutes left... sense it can not navigate the 32 gigabyte xml file.,.. i think i will not bother. thanks though [20:48] Anyone know of a good tutorial on how to setup/configure exim4? [20:48] iceroot [20:48] hi, my usb mouse on laptop stops working if it's idle, i have to click any button to get it working. How can i keep it always working? [20:48] Ademan-remote: also a usb-drive is a good way [20:48] i gotta ask what do you guys prefer to use to play mp3's ? [20:48] samba 2:3.5.11 is version 3 or version 2? [20:49] Ademan-remote: md5 test your iso and burn as slowly as possible and any are fine [20:49] nix, if all you have to do is click a button to ragain control, whats so wrong that requires a fix ? [20:49] iceroot: yes however if you go through ubuntuforums you'll see a lot of people saying "my cd wasn't working, tried a different brand at the same speed and now it's working" [20:49] AndroUser, the best advise I can give is to wipe the config and copy a sane config from a fedora system. Then buy philip hazel's book :) [20:49] why does installing flash install lots of 32bit libs? [20:49] movie player is kinda boring, i use to use something on arch but i've long since forgotten what it was called [20:49] i thought flash was 64bit now [20:49] eutheria: because there is only 32bit flash in the repos [20:49] eutheria, because flash is 32bit. Adobe sucks [20:50] Seveas, thanks, but not what Im looking for [20:50] oh [20:50] current 3.6.1 current stable release, homepage samba [20:50] flash is being discontinued any way [20:50] eutheria: if you want to install the 64bit plugin, you need to install flashplugin-adobke from the partner repository [20:50] !partner | eutheria [20:50] eutheria: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [20:50] in favor of html 5 [20:50] Ramir00: is there a special reason you need 3.6.1? [20:50] eutheria: if you enabled the partner repo it won't [20:50] Ramir00: samba 3.5.12 is the latest stable-release [20:51] ActionParsnip, no 64bit flash in partner repo? [20:51] Ramir00: from the samba-website [20:51] Is it possible to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04 without wiping and starting over again? [20:51] pinguy_: did something happen? because afaik flash is alive and well on everything except mobile [20:51] I have upgraded my system and it asked me to reboot, but it has been at the boot screen for +/- 10 minutes now. Should i force restart? [20:51] hmm [20:51] wes: yes [20:51] hi all [20:51] !upgrade | wes [20:51] wes: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:51] !eol | wes [20:51] wes: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [20:51] wes, yes, by upgrading to 9.10 first [20:51] its adobe who is dropping it... [20:51] srand: yes [20:51] i want to know if their with a simple way to block ssh user in is home dir [20:51] not detect the network [20:51] eutheria: yes install adobe-installer and you'll get it [20:52] (sorry for my bad english :p ) [20:52] Shucky: block? you mean to keep them in there home? [20:52] yes [20:52] iceroot: thanks, reading links. seveas - that's what I thought, package manager only offers 10.4 then tells me I can't do that. Trying to patch-up 9.04 gives me 404s on downloads, presumably due to EOL [20:52] Shucky: i guess chroot is the only way [20:52] arf [20:52] ok [20:52] Shucky, not really. Especially as all programs they need are not in there [20:52] wes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [20:52] i m ay simply give up on being able to use this wikipedia dump file for a long while... some one suggested a wikiepedia dump reader that comes in a deb package but its 32bit and my 56bit ubuntu doesnt like it [20:52] pinguy_: not heard adobe dropping 64bit flash [20:53] wes, the repositories for that version are now on old-releases.ubuntu.com instead of archive.ubuntu.com [20:53] Shucky, you definitely can, google lock user to home directory debian, and the second post down is a great tutorial [20:53] well some one is dropping it... i could look for the artical... i just dont care enough about flash to bother [20:53] Shucky this is what most web hosting companies do [20:53] yes but they use chroot? [20:54] pinguy_: adobe has flash64bit again up there was a time when they dropped the 64bit version [20:54] is there a version for "old hardware" specifically? Beyond a non-GUI version. Thanks [20:54] Shucky, yes they do, heres the direct link http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-rssh-chroot-jail-setup.html [20:54] is possible but is not "easy" to do [20:54] pinguy_: at the moment they are dropping flash for all portable devices [20:54] ok [20:54] thanks [20:54] pinguy_: hopefully when we speak again in one year flash was dropped completly from this world [20:54] thanks! one 64bit flash being installed! yay! [20:54] hello all [20:54] uuuu@tttt:~/Escritorio/samba-3.6.1$ ./configure [20:54] Wes: i'd clean install a supported release, i recommend oneiric [20:55] ubottu !help | tira [20:55] tira: 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).

[20:56] ActionParsnip: What happens when you clean-install Ubuntu on top of an existing install? Do homedirs etc stay intact? [20:56] Hello, would anyone be willing to give me some advice troubleshooting a kernel panic? I've run memtest86+ and it found no errors. I think it's relate to the STA broacom driver === darek is now known as Guest54378 [20:56] http://telecomnewspk.com/2011/11/adobe-decides-to-discontinue-flash-for-mobile-browsers/ [20:56] iceroot: any idea would cli-only server be faster if I am making a headless box? [20:56] there is one... [20:56] if it wouldt hat is [20:56] sabocat: so you are not using a asus eeepc? [20:56] adobe drops mobile flash for html 5 [20:56] !id | tira [20:56] tira: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [20:57] iceroot: No [20:57] I do not know if there is a ppa [20:57] According to the community pages, looks like I'm stuck doing an "alternate cd upgrade" at the very least; not a lot of data on this machine but getting mom back to a supported release is worthy goal (immediate goal is skype :) ) [20:57] Lasivian: yes [20:57] Ramir00: is there a special reason you need 3.6.1 instead of 3.5.11? [20:57] if I have just plugged a usb controller in how do I find out where it has been assigned in /dev/ ? [20:57] I suppose it's rather moot, both can probably run cli-only [20:57] the manual says its usually tty0 but how do I make sure? [20:57] * Lasivian has to stop thinking in windows-mode [20:57] Wes: you will need to format. Use your backups to restore user data [20:57] Kingsy, usb controllers don't get /dev nodes. [20:57] Kingsy: dmesg [20:57] Kingsy: dmesg should know. [20:58] Kingsy: ah controller [20:58] ActionParsnip: Ouch, that means *finding* user data first, wiping someone else's computer is never a good first option. ("Sorry I lost your pics, we were trying to get your sound driver fixed") [20:58] Seveas: depends what it's a controller for [20:58] or do you mean a game controller on a usb port? [20:58] wes: make a backup and use the normal upgrade [20:58] Wes: why is there no backup? Drives can and do fail [20:58] ActionParsnip: how many old ladies do *you* know who are on top of their backups? [20:58] Lasivian definitely, removing a desktop manager frees up quite a bit of resources, look into using ubuntu-server [20:59] wes, I know one :) [20:59] wes: we know a lot of people which are asking "how to restore my lost data" [20:59] Seveas: I got here last christmas and found firefox 1.0 beta [20:59] (but only because I've set up a daily rsync cronjob) [20:59] wes: and we have much fun to say "use your backup" [20:59] wes: after the "i dont have a backup" we love to say "now you know why a backup is important" [20:59] In *theory* her data is all "in the cloud" -- flickr, gmail, etc -- but I'm not going to rely on that [20:59] AndroUser: aye, i've run server before, but this old notebook only has wifi and i've never setup that in server [21:00] iceroot my version is 2:3.54 [21:00] iceroot my version is 2:3.5.4 [21:00] Ramir00: again, why you need 3.6.1 [21:00] so i'm debating how much masochism I want to deal with ;) [21:00] Lasivian, running in console over X might not be much faster unless its under load, but it frees up ram, and guarantess that nothing pointless will be using it, or the cpu, or the disk etc [21:00] Wes: if data is important, it should be backed up [21:00] iceroot: years ago, I worked as a PC tech - I did a data recovery for a master's thesis on a failed, double-spaced, harddrive. I wasn't all that surprised to find out there was no backups, until I got his thesis back and discovered he was an EE student [21:01] Lasivian, and itd be more stable, as X could cause random problems [21:01] Wes: dropbox :-) [21:01] Lasivian ah ok, I havent setup wirless before in cmd line. You can kill your desktop manager though, that will free up a lot of resources [21:01] Wes: or ubuntuone.... [21:01] it's probably time I learned how [21:02] ActionParsnip: that's not a bad option, certainly faster than waiting for a computer store to open [21:02] wes: there is only one good "backup" for something like a master-theis [21:02] I need to use another version that does not work the 2:3.5.4 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [21:02] wes: svn or git [21:02] !work | Ramir00 [21:02] Ramir00: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:02] Ramir00: lets stop guessing on your issues/motivations [21:02] iceroot: yep, be like linus, if you are awesome enough everybody else backs up your data for you. :) [21:02] wes: :) [21:03] * wes wonders just how much crap mom has on this computer.... ;) [21:03] wes: he saves a lot of money/time for backup-solutons [21:05] Hello peeps, I reinstalled oneiric multiple times now. I tried to get dual head and flash working. Dual head (twinview) does not work with unity nor gnome shell (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/813343). [21:05] Ubuntu bug 813343 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu Oneiric) "nvidia drivers, second monitor covered by black" [High,Confirmed] [21:05] Hello! In Ubuntu 11, I deleted all the default apps like libre offic, firefox etc from the launcher on the left. but after a reboot they came back. is that normal? [21:05] Therefore I decided to try a ppa with updated packages for nvidia. I keep getting hash mismatches while trying to install packages from the ubuntu-x-swat ppa. Both gnome shell and unity (anything with compositing it seems) cause nvidia settings to crash after trying to configure a dual head setup with twinview. [21:06] I decided to download the most recent drivers from the nvidia website and found the following issue: $ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10\(1\).run Verifying archive integrity... Error in check sums 3512233872 426978009 $ sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run Verifying archive integrity... Error in check sums 11670095 426978009 [21:06] I get the same hash mismatch message when I try to unzip flash downloaded from the adobe website or try to install flash from the ubuntu restricted extras. Is it possible my corruption problem is related to this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/883338 [21:06] Ubuntu bug 883338 in linux (Ubuntu) "Corrupt files on download" [Undecided,Confirmed] [21:06] hi [21:07] BTW, is wipe-upgrade the usually recommended method of upgrading Ubuntu installs? I gotta say, I find that frustrating, but I guess it's no worse than Sun or Mac offerings. Well, Sun has the advantage because they only do major releases once a decade or something now :? [21:08] sun has the advantage of being dead [21:09] wes: i think you can "apt-get dist-upgrade" and it will normally work fine. [21:10] no_gravity: the community pages say the CD method is the only way to go, although, I admit, I didn't read the explanation why :) [21:10] wes, so many people end up with broken systems after upgrade so I would backup first [21:10] I feel like I dumpted too much information in the channel. Nobody can comment on my issues? [21:10] *dumped [21:11] yeah [21:11] I'd recommend a reinstall [21:12] Gentoo64: *nod* - I'm actually trying to locate and back up all the user data while the ISO comes down [21:12] wes: I don't know the statistics for succesful/failed upgrades, but the actual command is do-release upgrade, dist-upgrade is just a more complex option for "normal" updates no_gravity [21:12] wes, you couls use clonezilla, if not home and etc should fit on a small flash drive === lonewolf is now known as Guest63600 [21:13] oCean: Is do-release upgrade the same thing the GUI does? The GUI doesn't work because I'm on 9.04 and 9.10 is already EOLd [21:13] ciao! [21:13] list [21:13] list? [21:14] wes, are you coming from that to 11.10? [21:14] wes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [21:14] Gentoo64: If only I had one here! I'm actually copying the data to my office, but that's kinda brutal to do via the T1 we have there. Hm. Maybe I should take a spin into town and see if I can find one, would probably save myself a lot of grief [21:15] Gentoo64: target is 10.04 LTS, since that is what Skype supports. (this whole exercise is to get the microphone working) [21:15] wes, if its just configs you could probably tar them and email them to yourself [21:15] Gentoo64: digital camera pics :) [21:15] hello [21:15] ah ok [21:16] please [21:16] Configs, not so important, the only apps she uses are the file manager and firefox [21:16] the list [21:16] !list | Guest37461 [21:16] Guest37461: This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

You either need to set browsing to on in cupsd.conf (and listen to 0.0.0.0:631), or install samba [22:11] given that cups is an apple thing, I'd start with the first option [22:12] You're gonna need to fiddle with the permissions in cupsd.conf too [22:12] I will always use visudo to edit sudoers.

I can access the CUPS interface on the LAN using hostname === satan is now known as Guest90691 [22:16] i was wondering, does usb-creator-gtk create usb for just pc, or does it do mac too? === bobi_Ge is now known as elton [22:17] ubuntunovice best way to find out, is by creating a bootable usb stick and plug it in the mac [22:17] so im wanting to get a newer version of firefox from mozilla.com and use it under ubuntu. i unpacked the archive but when i go to run it the 3.0.x version that comes with ubuntu loads up instead [22:17] ubuntunovice, you need more then a usb to get it going on a mac look on the web. === bobi_Ge is now known as hektor [22:18] thats the problem [22:18] Warp4, what ubuntu release? [22:18] i googled it already and nothing came up [22:19] i understand i need a .img file and i tried pendrivelinux, but that didnt work because it was for pc only [22:20] any ideas? [22:20] ubuntunovice, you need to sharpen your search skills that info is all over the place. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick https://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=webhp&source=hp&q=usb+ubuntu+macintosh&btnG=Search&gbv=1&sei=D_P4ToL7CMvZiAKO5aHiDg [22:21] i guess what im trying to say is is there an easier way to make a usb that boots on mac without using the terminal? [22:21] Yes [22:21] i will use terminal if have to [22:21] but i would rather use a gui [22:21] terminal *is* the way, don't have to use a gui ;) [22:22] urlin2u, 10.04.3 [22:23] Warp4, you can install the beta or stable firefox ppa to get a upto date. [22:23] i have a macbook 2,2 if that helps any [22:23] Warp4 careful with daily builds, i used one and it ruined my system [22:24] ubuntunovice, easy solution: Install grub [22:25] I personally use Graphical boot manager [22:25] how would i do that?? [22:25] urlin2u, ppa??? [22:25] it comes in the ubuntu install [22:25] or [22:25] you can download it from the net [22:25] burn it [22:25] install [22:25] Angablade: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:25] MonkeyDust, yeah thats why id rather use the latest RELEASE version from mozilla.com [22:25] im on osx snow leopard and cd drive is broken [22:25] on the macbook [22:26] You can always use a usb disk drive [22:26] Is there anyway to remove "Ubuntu one" from the Mail-drop down menu in gnome? [22:27] thats what im trying to do, but everything i have found says to use the terminal, and thats such a hassle [22:27] Warp4, https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [22:27] urlin2u, thanks [22:28] indeed it's very generous of the ubuntu community (5 gb in the so called cloud) but it is also a bit annoying :-P [22:29] terminal is a awsome thing [22:29] everytime my desktop updates, I get a new kernel added to my grub menu, now i can select between maybe 10 different kernels [22:29] anyway of doing away with all the old ones? [22:29] so im guessing i have to use the terminal then ? [22:30] Warp4, if you run this command it will put the ppa in the sources.list.d file and set the key then just run a update and upgrade. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [22:30] and jeaton: http://techfrp.blogspot.com/2010/12/remove-extra-kernel-entries-from-ubuntu.html [22:30] sedeki: my guess would be removing ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk and then logging out/back in === Jymmmm is now known as Jymmm [22:31] also that gwibber thing [22:31] sedeki: for that just remove gwibber [22:31] jeaton - sudo aptitude purge ~ilinux-image-.*\(\!`uname -r`\) (remove all kernels, except the one im using) [22:31] how do i change keyboards [22:31] to type in a different language [22:32] just loaded ubuntu 11.10 with unity. have a very slow speed with wi-fi using ath9_htc - tried a couple of suggestions around the forums but nothing definitive. Still slow. Upload twice as fast as download! any ideas? [22:32] urlin2u, thank you :) [22:32] Warp4, no problem the new version should pick up the old ones bookmarks and adjustments if any yet. [22:32] sudo apt-get remove gwibber [22:33] This action will remove gwibber and ubuntu-desktop (!) [22:33] No, thanks! [22:33] urlin2u, then just run 'apt-get upgrade' right? [22:33] sedeki only the meta package of ubuntu-desktop, it's harmless [22:33] sedeki: it is alright to remove ubuntu-desktop, but another option is to remove the file /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/gwibber.indicator [22:34] Warp4, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade as one line will get you both. [22:34] urlin2u, thats what i did :) [22:34] thanks again [22:34] sedeki: although it may come back later if gwibber is updated [22:34] Warp4, np. :D [22:34] i'll remove ubuntu-desktop and gwibber [22:35] urlin2u, i was able to get Earlybird to run from the mozilla archive though :) just needed the ia32 libs :) === brianl is now known as brianl|a [22:39] anyone know how to enter ubuntu in super user mode? [22:39] cliffybx, why? [22:40] >urlin2u..i cannot update..permission denied [22:40] cliffybx, try using 'sudo' before the rest of your command [22:40] cliffybx, you can reset the password. [22:41] cliffybx, or run 'sudo su -' before running your command [22:41] Is there an apt-get command for virtualbox on Ubuntu? [22:42] cliffybx, is it a password problem or another? [22:42] >Warp4>urlin2u>thanks..it works [22:42] I keep getting a reference message, and eff if I know what version I have to input or whatever. [22:42] Raliegh, I get it from virtualbox it used to be if you want usb com=nnect in virtualbox you need that one [22:43] connect [22:43] Raliegh the repos have vbox-ose, it's different from oracle vbox [22:43] urlin2u, do I have to use Wget and compile? I haaate doing that, haha. [22:43] Raliegh make sure you don't mix them [22:44] Raliegh, no just download it and use the software center, or install gdebi, I use gdebi. [22:44] Raliegh, what MonkeyDust said, but vbox (oracle) has its own repos - afair [22:44] I don't have GUI url, it's a server and I'm getting VBox before I install VNC and lxde [22:44] I used the command on this page [22:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Installation [22:44] Did I do well? :D [22:44] Hi! Can someone help me with reading bootchart.png file? [22:46] Raliegh, haven't checked those instructions, but if you want oracle-vbox and include their repos add this to your apt sources: "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian oneiric contrib" [22:46] gsedej: post it then ask the channel again [22:47] Raliegh, you might also want to add the keys for the repo - but please state if you want this info pasted from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [22:48] what is the different between fedora and ubuntu? [22:48] cliffybx fedora is based on redhat, ubuntu is based on debian [22:50] cliffybx, they have different package managers, (slightly) different ways of achieving similar goals and they have a bit different target audience [22:50] but they use linux as core right? [22:50] cliffybx, yes, they do. you can list many distros on distrowatch.com [22:50] cliffybx linux is always the core, the distro is everything around the core [22:51] cliffybx, pretty good support for both as well [22:51] =)thanks guys [22:51] hi === michael is now known as Guest22714 [22:54] I used that command (and from looking at it it adds the repo, adds the keys, and installs VBox) but I'm stuck at this line. 63% [1 virtualbox-4.1 2143 kB/66.5 MB 3%] [22:54] It just won't move from 63%. [22:54] Hi! Could someone help me find out why my boot time is so big? ( aeon-ltd ) http://shrani.si/f/e/nz/4kYxGoSB/gasper-laptop-natty-2011.png [22:54] Does anyone know how to enable vesa as a default ? [22:54] i need help bad guys…i tried using trucrypt to make a hidden OS and messed up. Now even when I try and reformat my entire HD with my win install disk I still get the popup and I can't install any OS. [22:55] any cmd to do scp as move? [22:55] I hit enter and it brought me back to plain bash input mode... So maybe it did correctly install. Any way to check this via command? Maybe check the version or something? [22:55] Raliegh, their servers are pretty slow. it means vbox is still downloading, you can restart apt-get (ctrl-c to stop it) [22:55] Raliegh, re-run apt-get [22:55] Erm. I mean not a popup but the command line screen on boot up [22:56] are gnome 3 is some kind of OS? [22:56] Raliegh, I find installing from vbox repo sometimes slow and unresponsive also. I quit and try again [22:56] virtualbox-4.1 4.1.8-75467~Ubuntu~natty [22:56] virtualbox-4.0 4.0.14-74382~Ubuntu~natty [22:56] gsedej: you are running in virtualbox? [22:56] It doesn't seem like it's pulling anything from the Oracle repo. [22:56] no [22:56] cliffybx gnome is a graphical shell [22:56] hi i have ubuntu on my phone and i dont know how to update without breaking the system [22:56] any cmd to do scp as move? [22:56] aeon-ltd, 11.10 instalation boots in 20sec [22:56] Can anyone please help me out here? [22:56] cliffybx, maybe you should search for your answer first, you will get better answers from the gnome website. [22:56] daniel|lapdock, You're afraid to run sudo apt-get upgrade? [22:56] hi [22:56] ok [22:56] hi [22:57] edbian, ya [22:57] dummy213, what's the issue? [22:57] I'm on ubuntu 9.04 on atrix 4g lapdock [22:57] raven, sshfs + mv? [22:57] it haz rly old xchats :[ [22:57] daniel|lapdock, I suggest not updating thing :P [22:57] edbian: i tried using trucrypt to make a hidden OS and messed up. Now even when I try and reformat my entire HD with my win install disk I still get the popup and I can't install any OS. [22:57] HaHaHaHaHaHa [22:57] Now when I try and run installs the C drive runs the disk for a moment and just stops [22:57] on a serious note [22:57] gsedej: i'm not sure but are they both the same set up? [22:57] I need to get a newer xchat on here [22:57] and change the awful gtk theme... [22:57] dummy213, do you have an Ubuntu live CD? [22:57] cliffybx start here http://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/32474-a-windows-users-guide-to-linux.html [22:57] dummy213, and a windows xp disc? [22:58] It doesn't seem like it's pulling anything from the Oracle repo, even though I just manually added the repo into my sources.list [22:58] aeon-ltd, i have dualboot. 11.10 boots great [22:58] virtualbox-4.0 4.0.14-74382~Ubuntu~natty [22:58] daniel|lapdock, run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade if you don't feel safe doing that you can't update [22:58] Hello all! I'm getting blank pink screen after updating from 10.10 to 11.10. I'm noob, please help. [22:58] cliffybx, most probably there is also #gnome channel [22:58] edbian, ok [22:58] >monkeydust thanks=) [22:58] edbian: yes. I have tried booting live from cd and it just goes back to command line thats unresponsive. The win cd will not install OS but lets me get rid of partitions. I have reformatted, deleted, extended etc. [22:58] dummy213, I prefer cryptsetup for making encrypred partitions. can be used with the Disk Utility app [22:58] !tab | cliffybx [22:58] cliffybx: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:59] dummy213, what partitions are on there now? [22:59] dummy213, Is there any OS that boots from the HDD? [22:59] Oh well, I don't need 'USB support' so I'll just use one of those packages. [22:59] edbian: Only one that I know of now, but obviously there is an outer partition going on if it is running a win program somehow at bootup [22:59] gsedej: if they aren't set up to run the same daemons/services at boot it's not really a fair test, i suppose the newer kernel would have something to do with it also changes in the daemons/services setup [22:59] edbian: no os [22:59] dummy213, what happens when you boot the HD ? a win program? [22:59] edbian: I don't even have enough room for an OS from what I have done, at least one wouldn't expect [22:59] aeon-ltd, is there someting i can disable? [22:59] gsedej: you could remove daemons you don't use they will cut a few seconds depending on what they are [23:00] edbian: when I boot without a cd it says the following [23:00] =)thanks guys..there are Gnome channel [23:00] daniel|lapdock, i would change /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect orenic, then sudo aptitude dist-upgrade or sudo aptitude safe-upgrade, if that looks messy. [23:00] cliffybx: on a different network [23:00] irc.gimp.org i believe it is [23:01] edbian: Trucrypt Boot Loader 7.1 then asks for a password for the hidden system (no hidden system exists) or to press escape for the non hidden system (when I press escape it says no OS detected and tells me to restart) === daniel|lapdock is now known as DrPhil [23:01] aeon-ltd, which service could i remove? [23:01] dummy213, this is a bootloader that's in the MBR it is not a partition or an OS === DrPhil is now known as Luminary [23:02] dummy213, if you can get any linux to load I can help you remove it [23:02] aeon-ltd, fsck? [23:02] edbian: do you know any way to wipe it from cmd on a win install disk? [23:02] dummy213, try running fixmbr [23:02] dummy213, in windows [23:02] Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Activation of org.freedesktop.PackageKit timed out [23:02] how can i fix that..always get that erorr after update [23:02] edbian: ok i will do.

[23:03] edbian: it manages to read my linux live cd but if I try to get it to do anything past going into english it doesn't work [23:03] edbian: anyways I'm loading the win install disk now === Luminary is now known as DrPhil === DrPhil is now known as Luminary [23:05] dummy213, if you wanted to, you could load a linux live distro, any distro and use dd to nuke it: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda [23:05] edbian: it says fixmbr is not a command [23:05] aeon-ltd, private chat [23:06] metaspike: i can't even get it to load to a desktop on the live cd's it just goes back to my dos command line as though the comp just started up with an unresponsive c drive [23:06] dummy213, hang on [23:06] ok [23:07] dummy213, http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_fixmbr.mspx?mfr=true [23:07] dummy213, It is a command [23:07] it says not recognized blah blah blah [23:07] hm [23:07] cant load a live linux distro? have you checked boot order in bios?

IDK, ask in ##windows [23:09] because running it off of the win install disk I'm in X: and not C: [23:09] thanks for your help edbian [23:09] I have my ubuntu web server operating on a godaddy domain name. What company should I use instead of godaddy? [23:09] dummy213, sure [23:10] edbian, a godaddy domain name? [23:10] * Warp4 uses GoDaddy as his registrar [23:10] dummy213, sure [23:10] Warp4, I am hating godaddy because of this SOPA non-sense [23:10] dyndns.com SOPA IS BOLLOCKS [23:10] edbian, oh so you want to change registrars then [23:10] metaspike, do they do domain registration? [23:11] Warp4, yes [23:11] yeah [23:11] edbian, Network Solutions? [23:11] Warp4, thanks [23:11] metaspike, thanks [23:11] edbian, or even Tucows (aka OpenSRS) [23:11] Warp4, thanks I'll check them out too [23:12] ._. i just got this computer for christmas [23:13] dyndns is $30 / year! :( [23:13] I still have a dydns I think, lemme check [23:13] dummy213, feat not!

[23:13] hur, all i ever used dyndns for is to register my own server for freebie, dunno what their hosting plan is like, opendns you say? [23:14] So, I'm trying to transfer some files with FTP. But I'm getting a Permissions denied when uploading files [23:14] fear* [23:14] I'm having rw access on he dir, though [23:14] * edbian does not want hosting.

[23:15] Ahh I found the domain registration on dyndns is only $15 [23:15] Hi ... how to mount a partition read-only ? [23:16] liinux, i think like this mount -o r /dev/foo /bar [23:16] maybe mount -o ro - cant remember [23:16] metaspike: ok .. thinks [23:16] yeah it's ro [23:16] change /etc/fstab to make the setting permanment [23:17] * metaspike failed the spelling bee [23:18] Boreeas, is that an error? it just looks like the permissions of a director [23:18] ok i got the true crypt to go away! [23:18] Okay, more virtualbox installation errors. I'm getting this: virtualbox-4.1 : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable [23:18] Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.6) but 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 is to be insta [23:18] edbian: i am almost there :) [23:18] edbian: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/hp-vista-continuous-reboot/3e7a7906-c046-41c9-948b-bf5376c348c2 [23:18] dummy213, :) [23:18] Yeah, that's the permissions of the directory, but when I try to put something in there, I'm getting a PermissionsDenied [23:18] just for future references man [23:18] dummy213, thanks [23:19] @metaspike [23:19] np [23:19] hi, my MSI Wind u100 is having random kernel panics (it crashes to tty with lots of verbose output, during which I can't do anything, system=frozen), next time it crashes I want to run a livecd and check the logs... so my question is: which logs should I check to find out more? [23:19] ok [23:19] Raliegh, you need to install those libs [23:19] ah Boreeas, you may have to change the settings for the ftp server itself as well, also you may want to apply permissions recursively if not done so with chown -hR [23:19] I tried Warp4, but as that output shows... They're unavailable? [23:20] Raliegh, what command did you use? [23:20] heya all happy holidays === francisco is now known as Guest92213 [23:20] is (x86) or (x64) for a 64bit? [23:20] Seveas: I got it working... I changed the printer protocol to how CUPS discovered it... "dnssd://Brother%20MFC-5890CN._printer._tcp.local/" No need for iPrint branded printer! [23:20] Well for those errors, "apt-get install virtualbox-4.1". Trying to manually install the libs listed brings up either not found or "not an installation candidate" stuff. [23:21] so it looks like google removed their linux version of picasa [23:21] Warp4: http://pastebin.com/t6ETvk42 [23:21] freeroute, /var/log/messages is the kernel log /var/log/Xorg.0.log may also give you some answers, cat /foo | grep whatever . is a good way to define your lookup [23:21] Output of "apt-get install libssl1.0.0 [23:22] Nobody has any ideas? x.x [23:22] Has anyone experienced any problem with using Ubuntu on a z68 motherboard? [23:23] BRB, noodle making time. [23:23] Raliegh, I think qemu > virtualbox - if you want to resolve dependency errors, use aptitude instead. [23:24] metaspike: How do I change the permissions for the ftp server? [23:24] Aptitude is not found, and I've never heard of qemu. I just need some sort of virtual OS system so I can run Windows under my Ubuntu server. [23:24] metaspike: I don't have /var/log/messages, but I do have dmesg and the other, but what's troubling is that I don't know what causes the kernel panics, it could be virtually anything :( [23:24] Boreeas, depends, what ftp server are you using? man "my-ftp-server" [23:25] Raliegh, apt-cache search libssl [23:26] freeroute, kernel panics usually indicate something you cant fix easily, what are you trying to install? [23:27] metaspike: Yeah.. that's the problem - I have no idea what ftp server I am using, it was preinstalled. is there a way to get a list of installed programs? [23:27] metaspike: nothing, it just sits idling and when I come back to take a look I find the crime scene [23:29] Boreeas, dpkg-query -l [23:29] nnj [23:29] Boreeas, dpkg-query -l | grep ftp - to search for "ftp" from said list [23:29] Hello [23:29] indonesian [23:30] What is a name of app which shows /home/user/ usage size in GUI (circle with folders with part of its size) [23:30] ? [23:30] XeonBloomfield, Filelight [23:30] http://pastebin.com/pGarAjhE [23:30] freeroute, that's crazy... could be anything. if you mount it from a live disk, it would be cat /media/sda1/var/log/messages or some such. i would switch kernels or OS entirely. [23:30] That's what I get after installing VBox using LXDE [23:30] What do? x.x [23:31] XeonBloomfield, gdmap [23:31] XeonBloomfield, there's one for GNOME too (disk space explorer I think it's called) but Filelight is the KDE one [23:31] philpem: it is "gdmap" as said metaspike [23:32] metaspike and philpem: thx for help ;) [23:32] XeonBloomfield, metaspike -- thanks for that, been looking for that one for a while :) [23:32] freeroute, post a fuller error [23:32] Anybody? [23:32] x.x [23:32] yeah, metaspike, guess what: There are atleast two different ftpds installed <.<. Dunno who did that [23:32] um, hang on.. gdmap doesn't do the circles map. I'm getting squares, which doesn't look right at all [23:32] wrong person [23:33] philpem: I just discovered it too [23:33] Raliegh, can you post the error in more detail [23:33] Tux: I'm waiting for this to happen, when it does I'll take a picture of the output with my cellphone [23:33] freeroute, okay [23:33] oh lol sorry [23:33] XeonBloomfield, Baobab [23:33] Raliegh, the real problem is thatlinux-image-2.6.38-13-generic is unconfigured. try dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.38-13-generic - for your real problem to be revealed /resolved. [23:33] XeonBloomfield, that's the Gnome one [23:33] XeonBloomfield, got that from "apt-cache search disk analyze" [23:34] Tux: That Pastebin is all the detail it gives me. I'm trying to install virtualbox via SSH (used Aptitude), and I get that at the end of the installation. I'm using LXDE as my GUI. [23:34] XeonBloomfield, it pulls in gnome-utils-common too; not sure why. [23:34] metaspike, he IS configuring the kernel [23:34] XeonBloomfield, tree view and file sizes on left, pie chart on right, that one? [23:34] What all sorts of programs and stuff are tracking everything you do with your ubuntu, by default, and how to uninstall all of them? [23:34] Raliegh, I guess you were also updating as well [23:34] philpem: I was looking exactly for that - thx ;) [23:35] freeroute, I am still here to help you [23:35] do post a photo [23:35] philpem: but - by the way - gdmap is nice too ;) [23:35] XeonBloomfield, I'm not fond of gdmap. [23:35] I've been doing a ton of disc cleaning today... seems to be the flavour of the week :) [23:35] managed to free up enough space to completely clear a pair of 500gig hotswap drives :) [23:36] I have an issue with Apache, I am sure it is simple but I am n00b. So I have installed Apache and tested it on the local address (192.168.1.3) and I get the it works message but as soon as I try the external IP I cannot contact the server [23:36] edbian: Hey the install failed. I am at the ubuntu install menu where it ask to try out ubuntu without installing etc. [23:36] "it pulls in gnome-utils-common" it's probably "recommended" skip with apt-get -R [23:36] I can't try it live though, but is there anything I can do from that menu? [23:36] just need to delete a bunch of duplicate files on the 1TB USB and the other two hotswaps... FSlint lists the duplicates, but not their paths :-/ [23:37] trica, you have to open the ports to your computer from your router... [23:37] trcia, did you open the port (assuming you are using a firewall here) [23:37] trcia^ [23:37] fdupes lists the duplicates but doesn't have the pretty UI :-/ [23:37] I just added a port forward to the router and I still have no luck [23:37] Is it to the right IP? [23:37] yea [23:37] Okay, I will try [23:37] just did a ifconfig [23:37] so I'm going to ask... does anyone know of any duplicate file finders like FSlint or Fdupes which have a nice UI *and* list the paths of the files in the duplicates list? [23:37] philpem: O.o - 4 builds of wine from tarball - 3 GB :P [23:38] XeonBloomfield, five years of photography work, 190GB! [23:38] hey metaspike: my install of win failed. I cleared mbr while in the win install disk [23:38] I mean, for example, ubuntu 11.10, it lists programs i use often, and files i use often. How do i get rid of all that data? How do I make sure its never ever saved anywhere on my computer? [23:38] Tux: updating? [23:38] Raliegh, I am helping trcia [23:38] I am at the boot options screen for the ubuntu disk, but I can't go live. Is there any way to fix it from there? [23:38] dummy213, im not here for win support, sorry v_v [23:38] no no [23:38] And what other hidden tracking stuff there is preinstalled on ubuntu? [23:39] I am trying to install ubuntu xD [23:39] Raliegh, I assume you were updating the kernel? [23:39] Tux: thanks [23:39] trcia, I can reach it from my end [23:39] philpem: One second of Seagate disk fail and 1.5 TB disk permanent damaged xD It has about 1.2 TB data... [23:39] dam [23:39] tux@metaknight:~$ curl -I 59.167.155.213 [23:39] HTTP/1.1 200 OK [23:39] Tux: Not that I know of, no... o.o It's just a fresh installation, installed lxde, installed tightvncserver, and tried to install virtualbox. [23:39] philpem: It had* [23:39] metaspike: I am trying to install ubuntu xD [23:39] dummy213, ah ok. all I can say is trust in the default options and automagic settings unless you know exactly how it works... :) [23:40] XeonBloomfield, yecch, I swore off seagate drives after i had one launch itself across the desk while it was on bench-test [23:40] tux: can you navigate to it via browser [23:40] trcia, curl also makes HTTP requests [23:40] metaspike: I have no clue what you are talking about…when i try to have it just install ubuntu it just goes to C: [23:40] thanks Tux, I have my camera on standby :) [23:40] help how get rid of unity make 11.10 look like 11.04?? [23:41] why would i not be able to see it [23:41] !w Melbourne [23:41] can anyone point me to docs on how to install Ubuntu Netbook on a 10.04 install? [23:41] pooltable, http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/classicgnome [23:41] philpem: Imagine disk's "magnetic hand" (that moving part inside HDD) brushing whole surface of disk xD [23:41] hmm, two directories, same name, same number of files, same size. why do I suspect that rsync will say "nothing to do!" [23:41] Tux: Care to get to me when you're done with trcia? :) [23:41] XeonBloomfield, oww, that's called a "head crash" and is really nasty :( [23:41] dummy213, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD ? [23:41] interesting [23:42] RickX: should just be "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook" [23:42] Raliegh, I told them I could reach their Apache from the Internet. I'm helping freeroute atm [23:42] philpem: and grinding sound from the disk - invaluable ;) [23:42] XeonBloomfield: someone is triping [23:42] XeonBloomfield, i had an IBM that did that. the platters were glass, and all the silver was scraped clean off. turned it into a clock until someone knocked it off the wall and broke it :( [23:43] nice. [23:43] trcia: What means "triping"? [23:43] someone forgot to say please [23:43] Ben64: thanks. I had Netbook Remix 8.04 on this netbook, then installed 10.04. Do you think "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook" will basically give me the same ting? [23:43] im going to get all my old hardware together and build me some body armour [23:43] Tux: Bugger, lmao. Well shoot me a highlight when you think you can help me. Good job in here btw. :) [23:43] trcia, in your router/apache logs [23:43] ? [23:43] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripping [23:43] XeonBloomfield, the data recovery place described it as "like putting a load of shredded paper dust back into a document, completely impossible" [23:43] ah [23:43] *turning a load... [23:43] metaspike: thank you [23:44] RickX: I believe so, probably gives you an option on login as to which environment you would want to load [23:44] dummy213, ka pai [23:44] Ben64: Thanks.. I'll give it a try [23:44] Tripping (pipe), the act of running or pulling drill pipe into or out of a wellbore on a drilling rig ?? [23:46] Hey, Ubuntu channel. Question about misbehavior in Thunar. [23:46] I've got an Xubuntu Live USB install. Thunar won [23:46] philpem: Did you heard the same strange noise like I during yours IBM disk fail? [23:46] t display the contents of /home/ubuntu. [23:47] Tux: i can see you accessing it thanks [23:47] XeonBloomfield, probably. like the squeal of fingers on a chalkboard? [23:47] It fails with a "transport endpoint not connected" error on .gvfs. [23:47] Bonsoir [23:47] philpem: grinding sound rather [23:47] This seems to be an old and well known issue with Thunar and with .gvfs (whatever gvfs is). [23:47] FR HELP IRC ? === Shark is now known as Guest22402 [23:48] FR HELP IRC ? [23:48] gnome virtual file system, i think. [23:48] Is there an equally old and well known fix that I'm just unaware of? [23:48] !fr | Guest22402 [23:48] Guest22402: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [23:48] metaspike, thanks. better guess than I could have made. [23:50] metaspike, any idea what would corrupt permissions to a directory's .gvfs subdirectory? [23:50] not a clue :) [23:51] does the fady grey screen mean something specific, like the load avg is too high, or the kernel is paging? [23:51] This is just as described in an old Fedora 9 forum post. .gvfs permissions list as ?????? and Thunar refuses to display anything in /~ [23:51] er, in ~/ [23:51] Also, I went to look at mtab, to see if the gvfs was actually mounted somewhere. [23:51] hey guys quick question...having a problem with grep.. grep '
Dunno why it worked fine before, though [23:53] jimisrvrox2, are you trying to grep a html file? I would cat /site.html | grep "seachterm" [23:53] jimisrvrox2: my suggestion is to escape the *, and change to " quotes around the RE, then escape any double quotes inside [23:53] yeah grepping html [23:54] Boreeas, glad you figured it out. :) [23:54] CrownWheel: what are you trying to mount? [23:55] almoxarife, I'm not trying to mount anything. I'm trying to get Thunar to display contents of /home/ubuntu [23:55] jimisrvrox2: so, this is probably correct (but untested): grep "
2itch" filename.html if that's really what you want [23:55] hi - i'm trying to install a small version of ubuntu on an 1gb usb stick, but it keeps erroring out that i don't have enough space. i'm installing from the mini.iso and selected command-line install. is there another way to get a minimal install? [23:55] It fails because of something wrong with .gvfs [23:55] hory shit! [23:55] ls -l of /home/ubuntu displays broken permissions flags for the .gvfs directory. [23:55] !language | sultansingh [23:55] sultansingh: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [23:55] sorry [23:55] i'm just surprised [23:56] so many people here in irc [23:56] The directory, itself, can't be interacted with "I/O error" [23:56] Othi`, yeah, puppy linux >_< [23:56] it's more than #debian [23:56] metaspike, does it have the ubuntu packages? [23:56] CrownWheel: and you are trying to do this from a local to local, same machine? [23:57] wes: tried the \"related\" and still got extra crap [23:57] jimisrvrox2: define crap [23:57]

and instead of the line.. [23:57] jimisrvrox2: what exactly did you type, and can I see the file in the internet somewhere? [23:57] Hello, can someone help me install minecraft? [23:58] almoxarife, yeah. same machine. not remote. [23:58] Othi, the ubuntu puppy variant does support ubuntu packages, but doesn't have dpkg so it's not prefect, but great for mini usb setups. [23:58] Hello can someone help me install minecraft [23:58] Ben64: your suggestion worked, but did it install Unity? [23:58] RickX: not sure [23:58] almostroot, more or less out of the "box" Xubuntu live install. [23:58] wes: sure im posting on a pastebin right now [23:58] i'll try it, thanks metaspike [23:59] Ok :-) I'll poke around some more. [23:59] Anyone here play minecraft on linux that can help me? [23:59] <3 minecraft [23:59] I installed a couple packages. R, Maxima, and Jupiter (for netbook feature control) [23:59] yeah partybros can u help me install it? [23:59] CrownWheel: very odd, thought about un-installing gvfs along with confs? do you use gvfs at all? [23:59] never tried it on linux
