[00:00] hi, how can i make my wifi work in virtual machine? [00:00] ikonia: but how come ssh actually goes thru -- but scp does not? how can I fix it? [00:01] pythonirc101: ssh dozen [00:01] Argh [00:01] Ignore my last, stupid keyboard [00:02] this looks right -- just changed my virtual network card -- http://pbin.be/show/348/ [00:02] Ssh doesn't have a long and sustained data throughput stream. Scp does [00:02] pythonirc101: that looks better. [00:02] scp still stalls [00:03] Odd. [00:04] strace still hanging at read(7,..) --http://pbin.be/show/349/ [00:04] it used to work before I did a do-release-upgrade on my box [00:06] where are the configs stored that are used with gconf-editor? [00:06] <_jason> wolfric: why? [00:07] wolfric, 11.10 switch to dconf storage [00:07] anybody has run IE under ubuntu ? [00:07] wolfric, so its .config/dconf [00:08] escott: i'm on 11.04 [00:08] _jason: curious, also it'd be handy to edit via ssh [00:08] wolfric, then its ~/.gconf [00:08] <_jason> wolfric: use gconftool-2 to edit via ssh [00:09] <_jason> wolfric: those files are not intended to be edited manually [00:10] _jason: i thought gconf had to be run as root [00:10] is it configured on a per-user basis? [00:10] gconf-editor* [00:11] so it seems my sound has stopped working [00:11] <_jason> wolfric: I don't understand what you are asking. [00:11] rhythmbox doesn't give me any sound anymore [00:11] well if it's global config then ~/.gconf doesn't make sense does it [00:11] i've been using the windows half of my dual boot for a while now and it's been a while since I booted to Ubuntu [00:11] rhythmbox definitely used to work, but now all I can hear is an occasional "click" in my headphones when I try to play something in rhythmbox and that's about it [00:11] <_jason> wolfric: you should read: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/gconf-1.html.en I think it will clear up how gconf works for you [00:12] it's as if something is happening with the sound system, but... not what I want [00:12] which is... well... music [00:12] i know this worked at one point but I don't remember when [00:13] i'm in XFCE, and when I click the little speaker icon in my system tray area i get the mixer [00:13] all levels are up, nothing is muted [00:13] my headphones are definitely plugged in to the headphone jack - i've double checked this numerous times [00:13] and i haven't unplugged them since I used windows last and windows plays my music - so I know that the headphones are plugged in to the correct jack [00:16] Guys [00:16] How are you all? :D [00:16] I need some help login [00:16] I had Ubuntu Oneiric Oncelot [00:16] and installed Xubuntu-desktop [00:17] I deleted Gnome according to the instructions at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [00:17] and, now I can't login anymore [00:18] Any ideas? [00:18] Perhaps I should install ubuntu-desktop.. but, I do not have GUI. How do I do it? [00:18] huh? [00:19] use recovery [00:19] sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get gnome [00:19] (i think? someone correct me) [00:19] how can I trouble shoot this? [00:19] I'm a noob, but thats what i'd do. [00:20] How do I do recovery. Sorry, I am kind of a "noob" :P [00:20] at the login screen you should be able to select different things, Gnome, Xfce, etc. [00:20] if all else fails, CTRL+ALT+F1 [00:20] LightDM is not loading. [00:20] And, I tried Ctrl+ALt+F1. It does not respond. [00:21] it should bring you to a logon screen [00:21] hello i was redirected here from the debian channel, and i have a question that i would really appreciate an answer if you could [00:22] is anyone here [00:22] :) Is there another way to troubleshoot or do recovery? I am currently running a live CD. [00:22] Live CD...? you should be on your install [00:22] CTRL+ALT+F1, then login, then sudo apt-get gnome [00:23] am i right? why is no one else talking lol [00:23] you are [00:23] lol [00:23] can someone please help me i have a question [00:23] I will try it again.

[00:48] Hi Urlin2u. I followed the steps to remove gnome (pure xfce) [00:48] cgfree, I would look at their site if they have one for linux [00:48] [an]droid|kindle, apt-get install gnome gives gnome: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed [00:48] oh great, recovery mode broke my ubuntu Q~Q [00:48] i blame you, dr_willis [00:48] and then did an "sudo apt-get autoremove" since the terminal mentioned that they are MANY uneeded apps [00:48] Xfce-user, right but did you bother to make sure it was for your release? [00:49] yep [00:49] it was for Oneiric Oncelot [00:49] dr_willis: i started recovery, and selected "drop to command line" where i only typed "sudo shutdown -r now". why is gnome now saying "could not update ICEauthority file /home/bunie/.ICEauthority"? [00:49] Hey all does anybody know how I can get my Unity panel back?

[00:50] Levy: you may be logging into the wrong thingy. :P [00:50] See you in a bit [00:50] urlin2u, I been messing with compiz to enable the desktop cube and it went to crap. [00:50] Bunie: i would guess the owner of that file is incorrect. Seen many forum and askubuntu.com posts about that file. move/rename/delete it. or change its owner perhaps.

I need some general advice on the usefulness (or lack thereof) of VPN servers. [00:59] thats a bit 'vague' === arhivar is now known as icat [01:00] Hey, can anyone tell me why you ship mencoder without libdv support? [01:00] and what it would take to change that? [01:00] hi im using linux 11.10 the old gnome theme, how do I set appointments and stuff on the calender ? [01:00] icat: legal reasons most likely. and you could try mencoder from the medibuntu repos. or compile your own, or find a ppa. [01:00] dr_willis, well, for starters, does a VPN tunnel (from my laptop in a cafe to a VPN server on VPS) work with all ports and protocols. E.g. if the internet cafe blocks anything but port 80, will I be able to use FTP (on 21) thru my VPN? [01:01] urlin2u, hey sorry to bother you, but do you know how i could check to see wether the linux os is recognizing that the tablet is plugged into the usb port? [01:01] dr_willis, and I mean by default, cuz I have no doubt you can set up all kinds of weird stuff if you spend a week googling and asking on forums/irc. [01:02] cgfree, lsusb I assume it is a usb plugin [01:02] okay guys one more thing i need! X3 how do i run an exe thru mono using console? :P [01:03] dr_willis, tried really hard in finding a ppa, but couldn't [01:03] cgfree, lol you said usb DOH. [01:04] Nvm new question [01:04] icat: medibuntu might have a version with more options. [01:05] !medibuntu [01:05] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [01:05] No idea what libdv is used for. so thats all i can suggest. [01:05] im running a server that saved to Documents, but now im running it over tty1, it doesnt detect the save. Why? [01:05] urlin2u, from what i see it is not recognized [01:06] when booting off the install cd, what do i press to geta boot menu? i have to a modeset or it won't come up [01:07] cowslammer, tap shift and hit f6 at the menu [01:07] urlin2u, would i have to have the driver installed before i connected the tablet for it to be recognized, or would it be recognized either way? [01:08] cgfree, not sure really....is there a driver? [01:08] well for windows theres one [01:08] hi [01:09] cgfree, might work in wine, I'm just guessing here I know nothing about wine. [01:10] cowslammer: tap the shift key like a spastic tapdancer. [01:10] urlin2u, no problem thanks for your assistance anyhow [01:10] im going to trail and error it... [01:10] cgfree, no problem. :D [01:10] :D [01:10] dr_willis, that is a funny image. [01:13] a little tapdancing tux. [01:14] hi just a quick one... I've just installed a fresh Debian Squeeze and need to upgrade my kernel for better hardware support on my laptop. should i upgrade the kernel before installing things like proprietry video or wifi drivers?

[01:15] daev_: compile no, install, possibly [01:16] fhtagn: hi [01:16] i found this neat extension for vlc: http://addons.videolan.org/content/show.php?content=141787 [01:16] is there a prefered way to install it? i managed to place it in /usr/share/vlc/lua/extensions/ and it works perfectly [01:16] but is there a clean way of doing it? apt-get or something? [01:17] fhtagn: unless there's a place in ~/ you can put it, that's probably the best there is [01:17] maybe ~/.vlc/ or ~/.config/vlc/ something like that perhaps [01:17] there's is also a place in ~/.local/ yeah [01:17] ah so if updating the kernel i could be prepared for a few drivers to break and need reinstalling? np. one last thing mr. alkafoo (if you have any experience with debian) i've heard that 2.6.38 is better than *.39 is that true? :p [01:17] ok, i just wanted to know if the package manager could handle it, because i will eventually forget all the files i place around the computer =/ [01:18] thank you [01:18] fhtagn: yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if nobody's made a package for it, so you'd have to do it yourself [01:18] that's what's good about things in ~/, you can forget them as long as you remember to backup ~/ [01:19] daev_: I doubt it is on the whole, 39 being higher than 38 [01:19] daev_: every now and then a kernel version and a particular driver will be incompatible, though [01:19] particular driver/version [01:20] now that is useful information! thankyou alkafoo and thankyou rypervenche. hope you get your scout badges for this ;] [01:20] bbl [01:21] is it safe to be logged in Twice? (using the tty things) [01:21] Bunie: sure [01:21] why wouldn't it be [01:21] Bunie, yes [01:21] im new to Ubuntu/Linux so i had to ask [01:21] Bunie: you might worry that your 'history' will be different in each session, and i don't know how it merges it later [01:21] hi im using linux 11.10 the old gnome theme, how do I set appointments and stuff on the calender ?

[01:22] I'm trying to set up a null sound card with alsa on an ubuntu server, but I fail horribly [01:22] I might downgrade back to 10.04 LTS let's just hope firefox don't crash. :P [01:22] I only get Invalid card number. [01:22] Usage: amixer [command] [01:23] when I try alsa-utils start [01:23] Bunie: you man want to look into 'screen' and 'byobu' or 'tmux' for more power ussage of the console :) [01:23] Again: I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 x86 on my desktop and when installation finishes and I restart the computer, after the grub menu my display get "no signal" message... Looks like some resolution that the native driver doesn't support or something like that. I tryed to set nomodeset on grub instead of quiet splash and didn't help... Can anyone help me to solve it? I can't even get terminals (ctrl+alt+f1) to install nvidia drivers (But live cd boots w [01:24] To ficando puto já com essa porra [01:24] I am wanting to remote into my Ubuntu 10.04 machine from the internet. How do I get my router forwarded to the computer I want to remote into? [01:25] dr_willis: im using linux 11.10 the old gnome theme, how do I set appointments and stuff on the calender ? [01:25] Hi [01:25] farout542, depends on the router. usually you go to http://192.168.0.1 (assuming that is the ip of your router) and forward the ssh port 22 [01:25] Argorok: heh [01:25] Pickleface_: no idea. Im on a console/headless server 99% of the time these days. [01:26] Headless as in no gui? :P [01:26] dr_willis: oh ok [01:26] hi [01:26] I can vnc or xdmcp. or ssh in and get gui tools if needed. [01:26] Can anyone help with a problem I'm having with smbget? Beyond -R is there a way to use smbget to download multiple files in the same location. -R doesn't seem to be working as it's giving permissions errors. === DrKojiKobashiJr is now known as dr_akira [01:26] Hi. [01:26] Argorok: your GRUB doesn't have another entry called recovery or rescue mode? [01:27] dr_akira: hi [01:27] escott: I have a modem and the a wireless router. Do I have to point the modem to the wireless router? [01:27] Hi. alkafoo [01:27] alkafoo, have, but when I try to enter, it doesn't recognize my usb keyboard, then it stops at a fuchsia screen with some options and I can't navigate through them [01:27] Many people, here. [01:27] farout542: you tell the router a port to point to an IP [01:28] is there a puppy linux channel [01:28] Argorok: fuchsia, odd [01:28] grape_: yes. #puppylinux perhaps. [01:28] grape_: probably, /msg alis list *puppy* [01:28] Puppy linux homepage i think mentions it [01:28] alkafoo, let me see all options, I only remember the last: root console [01:28] Argorok: oh the framebuffer screen with the gray/red/blue ? [01:29] root console could be useful, if it works at all [01:29] alkafoo, but I don't have a ps/2 keyboard here [01:29] alkafoo, no, let me take a pic [01:29] USB should work, too, unless your hardware/BIOS is weird [01:30] alkafoo: So leave modem as is and do the forwarding on my wireless router? [01:30] The Console can use 'framebuffer' support to have differnt/higher res and other modes. [01:31] how does anyone not know..omg :P [01:33] alkafoo, this keyboard works with all systems I've tryed on my desktop... But I don't know why it doesnt work at this screen... Uploading it === DrKojiKobashiJr is now known as Dr_akira [01:33] farout542: well there are a few scenarios [01:33] I'm using smbget --username=myusername --password=mypassword -R smb://server/shared/folder. It fails with Permissions denied. I can use the same command without -R to get files in "folder" but can't get "folder" itself. [01:34] alkafoo: I was afraid of that. [01:34] farout542: you probably don't have a static IP, so you'll have to know the outside IP assigned to your LAN each time [01:34] farout542: once you know that, it might be as simple as using that IP with ssh/VNC/whatever [01:34] farout542: or you might have to tell your router to forward from a given port to a specific local (LAN only) IP [01:35] some people use dyndns/no-ip to get around the first part [01:35] alkafoo: Ok I will do a little research and see. Thanks for pointing me in right direction!!! [01:35] there's a #networking around here somewhere [01:35] If I'm getting errors like "SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 22e77ce7, size 6a82" is this likely an error with my ISO or the USB stick I put it on? [01:36] good to know. I am new to IRC. Nice tool it is. [01:36] join #networking [01:36] obelus: or the USB port, could be any [01:36] will do. I appreciate the support. [01:36] alkafoo, http://img861.imageshack.us/img861/4407/fotolg.jpg [01:37] Argorok: neat [01:37] Argorok: but your keyboard doesn't work? [01:37] Ugh... trying to get this installed, don't even have a bootloader atm. [01:37] obelus: try another port [01:37] I'll try the other port and see if it helps [01:38] Hey all, how can I get a list of all currently installed packages? [01:38] RiXtEr-Home, Using 11.10 or 10.04? [01:38] 10.04 [01:38] I keep trying to undo a .tar.gz and its returning 'tar (child): file.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory [01:38] LTS if it matters. [01:39] Duker, tar -xzf ? [01:39] RiXtEr-Home: dpkg -l | grep ^ii [01:39] !clone | RiXtEr-Home [01:39] RiXtEr-Home: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [01:39] RiXtEr-Home, Looks like iceroot solved your problem. [01:39] :P [01:40] nice [01:40] I would of said use Synaptic package manager. [01:40] hi i have installed icecast2 but it must bysomware i searst int every system maps off ubuntu i cant fint it do enyone ware i can fint it? [01:40] how do I stop my shell to be transparent? [01:40] aBound, iceroot, Better than I originally thought, I want to push a list of packages to another (my backup) server [01:41] im using linux 11.10 the old gnome theme, how do I set appointments and stuff on the calender ? [01:42] does the calander even DO apointments and stuff.. :) [01:42] alkafoo, no... I was trying now, changing keyboard from usb to another usb... Tryed all of them, even front panel usb... Nothing works [01:42] I guess I gotta wait till 12.04 LTS comes out. [01:42] angela-: you mean you are looking for an 'icon' for it in themenus? [01:43] no for the file [01:43] Argorok: k, well, a live OS is just as good, really [01:43] !info icast2 [01:43] Package icast2 does not exist in oneiric [01:43] hmmm. I can't get ffmpeg to encode an avi movie to an mp4... any thoughts? [01:43] !info icecast2 [01:43] icecast2 (source: icecast2): Ogg Vorbis and MP3 streaming media server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3.2-6ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 212 kB, installed size 812 kB [01:43] the config file off icecast [01:43] 2 [01:43] Seems to be working now, already past where it was freezing before. [01:43] angela-: look in the package manager to see what confiog files and docs/guides it installed. [01:43] I'm getting a invalid pixel aspect ratio limit is 255/255 [01:44] ok [01:44] dejavou42: i use winff to convert to mp4 all the time. its a front end to ffmpeg. [01:44] dr_willis. I've got it too, but the preset that I want isn't there [01:44] how do I get this stupid transparency in my terminal to go away? [01:44] dejavou42: there are more presets at the winff homepage/forums. [01:45] dejavou42: the tool arista has a smiler feature set. and ability to download more presets. [01:45] alkafoo, can I correct it booting into a live cd? [01:45] dr_willis: sorry not presets. MP4 isn't in the convert to menu [01:45] It's copying files right now, now just hoping that deleting 40cdrom doesn't cause any more errors. [01:45] Argorok: undoubtedly [01:45] alkafoo, I used my entire hard disk to setup ubuntu [01:46] alkafoo, well, then here we go :] Let me boot from it [01:46] ahhh just found edit --> presets [01:46] Argorok: what the problems ? [01:46] :\ it's telling me that the name exists on the network now :( It's only ever been this laptop's name [01:47] dr_willis you mene synaptic? [01:47] aBound, iceroot, Thanks to both of you! [01:47] blackshirt, my ubuntu doesnt recognize my nvidia card. After grub the screen goes black and my display show "NO SIGNAL"... I can use vga=791, nosplash, nofb, nomodeset, or any combination of them, and it doesnt work [01:47] No problem. [01:47] angela-: whatever package manager tools you like. Synaptic is one. [01:47] ok [01:49] im using linux 11.10 the old gnome theme, how do I set appointments and stuff on the calender ? [01:49] Argorok: 'nomodeset' is often needed. untill you get the nvidia drivers installed. [01:49] Pickleface_: in Evolution? [01:50] Argorok: i often use 'nomodeset noquiet nosplash nofb' [01:50] alkafoo: thats the default bar ontop that shows the time and stuff right ? [01:50] dr_willis, I run into the same problem, as if I didn't changed the bootargs [01:50] alkafoo: if so, yes [01:50] alkafoo, ok, I'm running the live os [01:50] Pickleface_: no, Evolution was the default mail/calendar app, it's been swapped for Thunderbird in recent versions [01:50] Argorok: the 'text' option should get you to a console also. where you can install the ssh server, and nvidia drivers to make trobule shooting easier. [01:51] Pickleface_: you might want to install sunbird, or install evolution again [01:51] Argorok: maybe better you using vesa drivers first, if not possible yet using nvidia driver [01:51] Argorok: the live-cd has a menu item (hit space where you see the man=keyboard image, then under F5 or F6 i recall) [01:52] anyone know how I can find out the chipset for my nvidia ethernet (built-in)? Motherboard MCP61PM-GM GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, just trying to figure out the chip, but some online have realtek, while I think mine is nvidia or something... Didn't know they did chips for networking. [01:52] curran: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ [01:52] curran: lspci command also . may give a clue [01:52] Not that important, but would like to know, so I can add a correct name w/ the MAC in my networking configuration (e.g. router, bridge, etc.) [01:52] probably just need forcedeth [01:53] blackshirt, dr_willis, tryed vesa with vga=791 and other options... Nothing too... Didn't try this text option... Need to delete quiet splash to add text? [01:53] I got it working, just wanna know the chip [01:53] I tried lspci. [01:53] Can't I install nvidia driver on host system using a live cd? [01:53] Argorok: try nomodset noquiet nofb nosplash text [01:53] just mentions the ethernet bridge, unless that's it, was thinking an iwlist or something command [01:53] alkafoo: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/441/screenshotat20120103205.png/ the bar on the top [01:53] Argorok: ive never needed to mess with vga=XXX Im not sure that sort of option even works these days [01:54] hi alll [01:54] Pickleface_: what about it? [01:54] alkafoo: how do I check if its evolution or thunderbird?.. [01:54] hi all [01:54] hiya [01:54] vga= is for the framebuffer (during bootup) [01:54] alkafoo: and nofb disables the framebuffer [01:54] Pickleface_: you'll only have one installed by default; dpkg -L evolution [01:55] looks like it is using the forcedeth kernel driver. [01:55] most do [01:55] (nvidia devices) [01:56] Is there any way to update those modules, or would you have to recompile the whole kernel? [01:56] ef [01:56] dr_willis, tryed... Same thing [01:56] sorry friend about a week i tried to run partial upgrade to my ubuntu 11.10 oneric oncelot and fail to finish the upgrade and now the problem is my laptop fails to shut down safely [01:57] sorry friend about a week i tried to run partial upgrade to my ubuntu 11.10 oneric oncelot and fail to finish the upgrade and now the problem is my laptop fails to shut down safely [01:57] Argorok: this isent one of those weird new laptops that have 2 video chipsets in them? [01:57] curran: in Ubuntu you would typically update the kernel image only; what makes you think you need to [01:57] sorry friend about a week i tried to run partial upgrade to my ubuntu 11.10 oneric oncelot and fail to finish the upgrade and now the problem is my laptop fails to shut down safely [01:57] dr_willis, no, its a little old desktop with only offboard vga [01:57] kasii: less frequently please [01:57] Argorok: what chipset exactly? [01:57] sorry friend about a week i tried to run partial upgrade to my ubuntu 11.10 oneric oncelot and fail to finish the upgrade and now the problem is my laptop fails to shut down safely [01:58] yes alkafoo [01:58] !repeat | kasii [01:58] kasii: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [01:58] dr_willis, don't remember, let me see on the motherboard datasheet [01:58] you know when you install something and sometimes a box pops up that asks for additional configuration? How do I get that back? [01:58] I don't need to, was just thinking if nvidia has updated drivers for their chipset, might get better bandwidth, less packet loss or whatever, you know... I like to update. [01:58] Argorok: you should be able to tell your install to use whatever setup the working live OS is using for starters [01:58] curran: ah, well [01:59] dr_willis, Intel 945 Express, Intel ICH7 [01:59] curran: I believe you will get update notices by default [01:59] alkafoo, but how? The live os boots normal, without any warnings or errors [02:00] !pm > kasii [02:00] sorry friend about a week i tried to run partial upgrade to my ubuntu 11.10 oneric oncelot and fail to finish the upgrade and now the problem is my laptop fails to shut down safely [02:00] kasii, please see my private message [02:00] Argorok: compare the GRUB configs for starters, then the kernel configs [02:01] kasii: safely? [02:01] alkafoo, where is it? I've set the live os on my pen [02:01] do someone know about where could i found command prompt for kernel ubuntu 11 [02:01] web address [02:01] recommend me some [02:02] Argorok: /boot/grub/grub.cfg probably [02:02] yes now am switch through the power button [02:02] waterDrop: find what now? [02:02] alkafoo, only have loopback.cfg [02:02] kasii: ah [02:02] command list [02:02] waterDrop: do you mean alt cli just open a term [02:02] kasii: you might be missing some power management packages [02:02] who knows? please [02:03] waterDrop: you whant a basic command line list [02:03] not all, just complete cmd that often uses [02:03] recommended website please [02:03] some address [02:03] waterDrop: http://ss64.com/bash/ [02:04] i'll try it [02:04] thx [02:04] someone else, wanna recommend me another address, please? :) [02:04] waterDrop: but relly you only will use a few of them unless you relly need to truble shoot something [02:04] can someone help me with some wine error? [02:05] alkafoo am waiting for ya answer [02:05] nightcracker__: just pastebin your error output ? [02:05] http://nclabs.org/errors.log [02:05] haha, update notices, I like that. [02:05] I'm (trying to) use xvfb [02:05] waterDrop: if any [02:05] alkafoo, cant I install drivers on my OS through the live OS? Or can I install nvidia drivers together to the system when I do a system install? (Its a fresh installation, I can do another) [02:06] Argorok: you can, yes [02:06] gogeta: ok i already open that address, hmm, it's enough for now, thanks gogeta [02:06] alkafoo, how? I just need to set up the nvidia driver [02:06] Argorok: did you say the display was getting no signal when X was supposed to have started, or before then? [02:06] blackshirt: basically, I'm trying to run an executable that requires graphics and sound output (no way to disable it) on a server [02:07] blackshirt: so I've set up xvfb, and ALSA, but I think I did something wrong [02:07] alkafoo, dunno... After the choice on grub, It goes to black screen with no signal [02:07] Argorok: you can drop to cli mode using failsafe and install them by hand that way [02:07] Argorok: you are trying to install teh nvidia drivers when you just stated you had an intel chipset? [02:07] actually i use, ubuntu 11, and im a newbie, i'll ask later... [02:07] Argorok: thers also ways of remastering the iso to include em [02:07] Argorok | dr_willis, Intel 945 Express, Intel ICH7 [02:08] thats definatly not a nvidia gpu. [02:08] does anyone if there have been any updates to the ethernet issues with the realtek driver? latest / best workaround was the backport but it still gives quite spotty connectivity (random lags and disconnects along with dead transfers) [02:08] dr_willis, this chipset doesn't have onboard vga [02:08] Argorok: oyea thats intel and a 845 will work out of the box [02:08] whats channel for freenode chat help [02:08] know* somewhere in there [02:08] 945 [02:08] dr_willis, you asked my chipset, not my vga [02:08] Argorok: so you have BOTH then? [02:08] onboard intel, and nvidia pci(e) [02:08] Argorok: 945 extress is onbord vga [02:09] dr_willis, my mobo DONT have onboard vga, DONT have onboard gpu, this chipset DONT HAVE things about graphs [02:09] Argorok: so what nvidia card do you have? [02:09] dr_willis, then come here and show me the vga DB15 on back panel ¬¬ [02:09] Argorok: umm [02:09] blackshirt: any idea? [02:10] Argorok: 945 might be the sound bord as well [02:10] alkafoo, let me see how to do it... cli/failsafe option... Never did (I think) [02:10] gogeta, the north and south chipsets are intel [02:10] Argorok: in failsafe it will come up with a menu slect command line [02:11] Argorok: you might need to change the runlevel simply by passing init 3 [02:11] After downloading the nVidia drivers from synaptic, my monitor resolution is messed up: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/23841 And I can't get it back to normal (1440x900) How can I fix this? [02:11] hey any body to help me [02:11] Argorok: but you should be alble to install the drivers by hand [02:12] Argorok: the gui needs to be down anyways for it to work [02:13] osmodivs, tryed xorgconf? [02:13] gogeta, let me try init 3 [02:13] Argorok: you need to go into failsafe cli first so x does not try and start and muck stuff up [02:14] Argorok: After downloading the drivers, I did this: sudo nvidia-xconfig and then rebooted, and then messed up [02:14] Argorok: then login and sudo init 3 [02:14] Hey guys [02:14] I am back [02:14] Argorok: at that point you should be able to install the nivida run file [02:14] I was not able to fix it [02:15] Argorok: you also will need to blacklist the nevu driver [02:15] I still have trouble trying to load lightDM [02:15] Argorok: i know a royel pain in the but [02:15] I tried to install ubuntu-desktop or gnome [02:15] but, I do not know how to connect to the internet in recovery mode [02:15] gogeta, how to get into failsafe?

[02:34] Xfce-user: you can skip the ones that start with "none" [02:34] Can I configure the amount of time the those "growl-like notifications" stay on screen? [02:34] alkafoo, I used the ubuntu-11.10-x86 [02:34] matt040804: that would be cool to change that :-) [02:35] From ubuntu site [02:35] bigtom21485: it'd probably be 128, but it depends on what rhythmbox is using... [02:35] bigtom21485: so...is that a "no" [02:35] (for MP3 encoding, typically you'd use lame) [02:35] Argorok: okay, did you check the md5 sum? [02:35] matt040804: i don't know how to change it, i was just saying it would be cool to know how to change it bc i have no idea [02:35] Matt040804: you can configure anything [02:36] Embarrassing question : I was given a password for an ssh service which was swallowed by gnome-keyring, but I forgot the original password. How can I get it back in cleartext? I've tried seahorse, but it doesn't seem to show the password I'm interested in (which is an ssh password I use from a terminal). [02:36] alkafoo: how do I configure those notifications? they stay on screen way too long for my liking [02:36] is there NLB feature available in eucalyptus ec2 private cloud. [02:36] alkafoo, http://pastebin.com/JnfbSYqx I installed sshd on the desktop live system, and now im connected to it, look the fdisk -l that youve asked [02:36] alkafoo, yes, checked the md5 [02:36] i need help [02:37] http://pastebin.com/J8VBdgqZ That is code on how I display the SSL certifcates on every other Linux distro in C, For some reaon in Ubuntu I get No Certificates returned, even though I can fully use the SSL socket, Ubuntu as the same certifactes my gentoo box does and it workes exactly like should, does anyone know why this wouldn't work [02:38] Argorok: I'd try reinstalling with a USB imaged by unetbootin instead of whatever you used earlier [02:39] hello! [02:39] AMD has some issues supporting their cards on linux... [02:39] OK. I am back [02:39] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/792337/ [02:40] alkafoo, ok, let me try [02:40] Ben64: haha. I did not read your next message ><: too late! I included everything. [02:40] i need help :is there NLB feature available in eucalyptus ec2 private cloud. [02:40] bluezone, ATI may be owned by AMD but AMD refers to processors, so lets not confuse new users [02:40] Xfce-user: it looks like it is mounted rw, try doing "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" [02:41] ok.

[02:43] "E: The package list or status file could not be parsed or opened" [02:43] pooltable: boot into it? [02:43] Xfce-user: Then it is time to reinstall, but this time don't break it. [02:43] pooltable: why not just copy the files elsewhere [02:43] Xfce-user: alternatively, your hard drive could be failing [02:43] Ohh noooo [02:43] alkafoo: sure but it's true [02:43] Oh. [02:43] bluezone: it is, but it's also true about nvidia =P [02:43] By the way. [02:44] and since that's ati's main competition, the statement is pointless [02:44] hmm i think they're a bit better [02:44] alkfoo i can do that but only want to copy what i need not the os [02:44] it means a lot coming from you =P [02:44] pooltable: well that's a slippery slope [02:44] thanks :) [02:44] I had some weird experience after "playing around' the recovering menu. When I load the Xubuntu-desktop.. it says "Looking to Configure network..." [02:44] pooltable: you better back it all up, then have your dad pick out what he is sure he wants [02:44] pooltable: _then_ maybe save space by deleting what he didn't choose [02:45] I've seen personal data all in C:\ and other OS areas on Windows boxes [02:45] and then it shows: "Warning unattended-upgrade in progress during shutdown, sleeping for 5s" [02:45] since they run as root all the time, they can put things anywhere [02:45] and that message keeps repeating in loops [02:45] Hey all I'm using 10.04 LTS and I installed the nVidia driver yet it never reconfigured my resolution. [02:46] aBound: see what nvidia-settings says about it [02:46] alkfoo how do i copy just copy it all like copy paste? [02:46] hello [02:46] pooltable: cp -r /mnt/point/ some/otherplace/ [02:46] alkafoo, From the terminal I assume.

[02:48] pooltable: you can't hook the drive up to a Linuxy OS? [02:48] LOLOLOLOLOL [02:48] It says: You do not appear to be using the Nvidia X Driver crazy as crap. [02:48] ya do u play dvd moviws on her [02:48] jacob_: you trolling? [02:49] aBound: so maybe you aren't [02:49] aBound: you need to reboot after getting the nvidia driver [02:49] alkafoo, I just installed it. [02:49] jacob_: Ubuntu can play DVD movies, if that's what you're asking [02:49] :P [02:49] Ben64, I did reboot. [02:49] :p [02:49] Ben64: ok. I will restart the OS. :) [02:49] aBound: installed how? [02:49] ya [02:49] Say [02:49] alkfoo yes but do not have the room [02:49] Xfce-user: that wasn't to you : / [02:49] how do I copy my files to an external drive in recovery mode? [02:49] alkafoo, If you'd like a screenshot I can provide it. [02:49] pooltable: you can copy the files over the network to any computer... [02:50] I installed it using this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings [02:50] Xfce-user: rsync works great [02:50] pooltable: the Windows way to copy things is to just select all and click-and-drag [02:50] alkfoo how do i do that ? [02:50] aBound: why didn't you go through the Hardware Drivers interface? [02:50] how do I mount an external drive? [02:50] Man.. I am so used to the GUI.. ><: [02:50] I feel my limitations now. [02:50] Ben64, Because those are new drivers. [02:50] dos ubuntu hackin tolls [02:50] alkafoo, installing [02:51] Xfce-user: plug in, use "dmesg" to find the device, and then "mount -t " [02:51] pooltable: mmm, it's kind of involved actually =) it would be simple if you booted your Windows 7 box (with the space?) from a live CD/USB/DVD [02:51] I can always uninstall it. [02:51] aBound: those are the same that are in Hardware Drivers [02:51] pooltable: rsync the files from the old drive to the other, then reboot out of the live OS [02:51] Argorok: good luck [02:51] jacob_: if you need help, ask a technical support question. otherwise, please use #ubuntu-offtopic [02:51] is a good hacking tool [02:51] jacob_: it has as many available as any other OS [02:52] About to find out. [02:52] ok. i will try that [02:52] can u hack me [02:52] !offtopic | jacob_ [02:52] jacob_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:52] jacob_: I could crack you =) [02:52] alkafoo: please do not encourage this. [02:52] good crack pros to [02:53] brb [02:53] alkfoo thanks for the help [02:53] jacob_: this is not the channel for this type of conversation, take it elsewhere please [02:56] Hi ben64: What do I put after "mount -t" ? [02:56] Xfce-user: the filesystem [02:57] dmesg shows "sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk.: " "usb 7-2: new full speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd [02:57] I mean. Ho do I know the filesystem? [02:57] who use pidgim? [02:58] Xfce-user: you likely formatted it, you should know : / [02:58] Xfce-user, it might be vfat if it's a usb thumb drive; could be ext2, ext3, ext4 though [02:58] it should be fat. I never formatted it. [02:58] It is a external hard drive bourght from the store. I never formated it [02:58] from WD [02:59] Hi everyone. [02:59] maybe try ntfs-3g then [02:59] Xfce-user: ntfs-3g /dev/whatever /mnt/point [03:00] other filesystems rarely need type specified [03:00] lalagirl: hi [03:00] rsvc: pidgin? I do, for IMing, rarely [03:01] lol. This is weird. I just pluuged the External drive to my siblings laptop that is working. And it says in properties that it is using "msdos" as filesystem [03:01] is it linux? [03:02] alkafoo: Hi, I'm connected to IRC and would like to connect on msn while [03:02] Disk utility says "Partition type W95 FAT32 (LBA)" and "Partition flags: FAT (32-bit version) [03:03] then put "vfat" for filesystem [03:03] I'm connected to IRC and would like to simultaneously connect to msn [03:04] so, is it "mount -t fat32 /dev/sdb /mnt/mounted ? [03:04] oh [03:04] vfat [03:04] all right [03:04] thanks. I will try [03:05] msdos is a common partition type, too, used by all sorts of _filesystems_ [03:06] Xfce-user: probably sdb1 rather than sdb [03:06] rsvc: ok? [03:06] can anyone guess why m-a isnt combiling the drivers properly? http://pastebin.com/ikydug2f [03:06] oh. shoot.. [03:06] it says: [03:06] "sudo" Can [03:07] oops: retyping [03:07] "Sudo Can't open /var/lib/sudo/enoch/console: Read-only file system [03:07] "mount: mount point /mnt/mounted does not exist [03:08] :( [03:08] Xfce-user, don't know about the first part of that error, but for the second part, make the directory first "sudo mkdir /mnt/mounted" [03:08] Hi I need some help with my newly installed Ubuntu 11.10, I want to format Ext4 partitions to NTFS? [03:08] Xfce-user: it's going to be NTFS anyways, or nothing at all [03:09] BangBusRUs: why's that [03:09] I want to store my media files on the NTFS partitions and want to be able to access them with Windows... [03:09] I checked the filesystem using Disk Utilities in Ubuntu (from other laptop), it mentions FAT32. :) [03:10] BangBusRUs: so you have some partitions you set up only for storing media? [03:10] Yes [03:10] BangBusRUs: ah [03:10] How do I make the filesystem to be writable [03:10] they are Ext4 [03:10] BangBusRUs: you can use gparted if you like [03:10] ok cool thanks, oh does it come preinstalled with ubuntu??????? [03:11] BangBusRUs: I think it comes on the install media, and for installs you'd have to install it [03:11] preinstalled lmao [03:11] LinuxRules: ? [03:11] ok [03:11] I will [03:11] having some playstation media server woes. can anyone help? Running x64 Ubuntu 11.1 [03:11] how do you change a media handler? [03:11] BangBusRUs: it's a little less dangerous than using the command way if you're not familiar with them [03:11] using gparted, that is [03:11] preinstalle with the better OS than windows which is well marketed? [03:11] broncy, have you installed ffmpeg? been a while since i ran ps3mediaserver, but that solved most my problems [03:12] LinuxRules: that question is pretty hard to parse [03:12] hello [03:12] hi [03:12] do any boxes come pre-installed with Linux? [03:12] @kcw45 yeah i've got ffmpeg up to date [03:12] One more thing while the updates are being downloaded and installed, How do I access the Ext4 partitions I named one as /Media and the other as /Backpus? [03:12] LinuxRules: yes of course [03:12] Are we on a dead-end? :( [03:12] i've completely switched from windows 7 to ubuntu now :) [03:12] alkafoo you asked me you caould decipher what I said [03:13] broncy, i probably cannot help much then, but what are your woes? [03:13] BangBusRUs: they should be available from the file manager, nautilus [03:13] @kcw45 I have the most updated version of every decoder and have a specific error to trace back [03:13] LinuxRules: yes? [03:13] just like I cant spell :) couldnt* [03:13] I'm new to Linux... [03:13] BangBusRUs: on the left there should be an icon like a folder [03:13] all streaming is choppy and I'm certain it's a decoding issue rather than a network issue [03:13] But I don't see them? [03:13] BangBusRUs: otherwise hit the top left circular ubuntu logo and type 'nautilus' [03:14] other than running an Xp instance in virtualbox for photoshop ... and using crossover for SQLyog [03:14] alkafoo I know some lap tps and boxes come preinstalled just not enough! [03:14] LinuxRules: You should check out http://www.system76.com/index.php/ [03:14] BangBusRUs: try sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [03:14] Is anyone using virtualbox ubuntu guest on windows here? I'm having trouble with 3d opengl speed -- any hints on how to debug the problem? [03:14] ok [03:14] xfce-user why? [03:14] pythonirc101: the problem is it's virtualized [03:15] I just read the part where you said: "do any boxes come pre-installed with Linux?" [03:15] alkafoo: so its vbox problem? [03:15] pythonirc101: no [03:15] System76 sells computers with Ubuntu Linux pre-instaled [03:15] then how do we fix it? [03:15] pythonirc101: you don't [03:15] ah Ic xfce-user :) [03:15] pythonirc101: hardware acceleration requires direct access to hardware to work optimally [03:16] pythonirc101: virtualized software doesn't typically have that access [03:16] alkafoo: vbox says it supports 3d acceleration [03:16] << Is drunk > 2&1> /dev/null [03:16] pythonirc101: no it doesn't [03:16] pythonirc101: it says it has an experimental feature with '3d' in its name [03:16] see well drunk to many > [03:16] i have a few questions for those who aren't brand new to ubuntu ... any easy way to make the main desktop font smaller? it is too big on my laptop...also whenever i open a file in gedit then it opens a blank document for some unknown reason [03:17] i want to learn gvim but i just have work to do so i need to wait until that work is done to figure it out [03:17] vim sucks [03:18] Ive always used nano because its quicker [03:18] LinuxRules: but it isn't quicker =P [03:18] LinuxRules: ZaReason, Inc. Also sells computers with Linux: zareason.com [03:18] it just takes less learning, because it does less [03:18] Looks like it's installing the incorrect nVidia driver blah. [03:18] aBound: it what? [03:18] Has anyone here had trouble using Gajim for voice calls through XMPP? [03:18] Okay I see them now, but is there a way to reformat the partitions and format them again to something windows wont have a hard time reading? [03:19] alkafoo it is lot less key strokes to open modify and save a file [03:19] alkafoo, 10.04 LTS seems like it installed the wrong driver for my GPU. [03:19] alkafoo, google didn't help, i think it is because i am using dolphin perhaps to open files to edit? [03:19] LinuxRules: it isn't, actually [03:19] what nano file [03:19] every time i open a file in gedit from dolphin it opens a brand new blank document as well [03:19] WebGoddess008: did you see that thread on ubuntuforums that said solved? [03:19] modify ctrl+x save [03:19] WebGoddess008: why're you using dolphin [03:19] vi file [03:20] LinuxRules: the ways you can modify files in Vim are what save you time, the opening and saving/exiting actions use about the same amount of key strokes [03:20] press inserrt type modification press esc press is it shift? then type :qw! [03:20] alkafoo : Okay so I see them now, so now is there anyway to reformat the partitions and reformat them to something windows wont have a hard time reading data off of? [03:21] what's wrong with dolphin? [03:21] LinuxRules: if you start with press insert, you're already doing it wrong =) [03:21] LinuxRules: How many times do you have to hit the arrow keys, or the backspace key to make your changes in pico vs vim? [03:21] WebGoddess008: nothing, it's just odd to use KDE's file manager with GNOME [03:21] WebGoddess008, what desktop you running? [03:22] I usually only have to make corrections so a line or 2 mainly but vim takes more work [03:22] BRBgota restart my system... [03:22] LinuxRules: it doesn't... if you learn to use it as intended [03:22] not everyone feels the time spent doing so is worth it, but that's another matter [03:22] alkafoo I never work with guis either [03:23] who's talking about GUIs [03:23] apart from desktop [03:23] i'm running unity, was going to try out kubuntu but the tutorial to install both unity and kde together didn't work === Reikoku is now known as Rei`ZzZz [03:23] this is my main computer so i don't want to experiment around too much with it [03:23] alkafoo you were [03:24] WebGoddess008: do you actually prefer dolphin over nautilus? [03:24] LinuxRules: nope... [03:24] LinuxRules: You're missing a semicolon on line 100, you open the file, and type this: 100GA;[escape]:wq [03:24] yeah i like dolphin better [03:24] im using a puppy linux based on ubuntu which is why i ask this here: lucid puppy 5.2.8 seemed to be booting fine until it said performing a 'switch_root' to the layered filesystem . . . Kernel panic - not syn, g: ateempted to kill init! and then it stopped [03:24] but I use and will do into I have to use Gnome 3 switch to tty1 :) [03:24] You're done. How many more times would you hit arrow keys, page down, end, etc to do the same in nano? [03:24] Gnome* [03:24] WebGoddess008: and you don't know yet if you prefer the rest of KDE over the rest of GNOME? [03:25] i haven't tried the rest of kde [03:25] i just installed the main ubuntu, and it defaults to gnome/unity [03:25] grape_: if you can't debug issues on your own, you really shouldn't be using puppy [03:25] and that said, it's pretty unlikely you should be using puppy regardless; its only purpose is to run on hardware from the 80s [03:25] i like the name unity because my religion is PLUR aka peace, love, unity, and respect :P [03:26] but that being said perhaps i'm a kubuntu personality type if i were to actually give it a try [03:26] Back wow didn't know Ubuntu was so cool ha [03:26] right, which is what im trying to do, this distro in particular is supposed to be easy to use for the novice [03:26] grape_, try #puppylinux [03:26] i suppose i can download and try the livecd and see if i like it just took forever to get unity working the way i like it [03:26] grape_: yet clearly it isn't [03:26] i did, no one is answering right now [03:26] alkafoo i scrolled up to copy and paste what you said must of dreamt it [03:26] WebGoddess008: heh [03:26] * station switches from irssi to weechat [03:27] isn't that always the way [03:27] LinuxRules: =) [03:27] Im smashed [03:27] alkafoo_ i dont know about that, they said my machine might have trouble since it only has 60 MB of RAM [03:27] well ubuntu would be easy for a novice, if said novice hasn't used a computer before and wasn't dogmaed into ways of doing thimgs aready [03:27] *things [03:27] grape_: in the time it's taking you to get this working, you could undoubtedly earn enough to get a modern machine [03:28] i think ubuntu is a good distro for a novice computer user, not someone who is indoctrinated in years of windows necessarily [03:28] gee, you guys arent very nice [03:28] nice doesn't factor into it [03:28] << Is useless at any non RH/Cent/Fedora questions too Im here to learn the DEbian way [03:28] i thought IRC was about helping nevermind [03:28] the people who weren't nice are those who told you to use puppy [03:28] Is it safe to upgrade 10.04.3 LTS to 11.10 using a LiveCD? [03:28] grape hardware is cheap these days [03:28] Boom_Farmer, wont be a upgrade [03:29] Boom_Farmer: if you have a separate /home/ partition [03:29] cheap is relative [03:29] not that relative [03:29] alkafoo, ok so now I can see the partitions, but now is there a way to reformat the partitions to something bindows wont have a hard time reading from? [03:29] BangBusRUs: yes, with gparted [03:29] alkafoo, I have the contents of /home backed up on an unplugged external drive. [03:29] ok thanks [03:29] i'm homeless at the moment grape and i have a laptop with two gigs of ram that i got free [03:29] urlin2u: What's the right term/why not? [03:29] Boom_Farmer: then you could just do an ordinary install of the new version and copy it back [03:30] webgoddess are yoyu blonde? [03:30] natural blonde :P [03:30] What would the advantagese of doing a clean install instead of a distribution upgrade via LiveCD? [03:30] no, i didn't whore myself out [03:30] :P [03:30] Boom_Farmer: might work if you do a clean install =P [03:30] ah I like brunettes :( [03:31] I like ettes [03:31] Boom_Farmer, if you have a separate home as suggested you can save your stuff, as far as a OS upgrade they go from lts or lts or distro by distro. [03:31] or=to* [03:31] haven't had much success with Ubuntu release updates [03:31] webgoddess you just backed my point. let me know where i can get something with 2 gb of RAM for free and i will be happy to ditch this project [03:32] honest opinion guys, if i try live cd for kubuntu and like it better should i switch to it? if i'm going to reinstall again i might as well do it now while i'm only a week into ubuntu as primary OS than when i'm a month into it [03:32] alfafoo, What file format should I get so both linux and bindows can read/mount them easly? [03:32] BangBusRUs: NTFS [03:32] grape_: you don't need free, you can get a modern computer for $100 [03:32] Who needs 2 gb of ddr ram these days? [03:32] someone left it at an eviction property because they couldn't figure out windows [03:32] if you can't make $100 fairly rapidly, you have no business being on IRC [03:32] is it even sdram? [03:32] have most of you learned to like unity, or am I the only one who simply hates it? [03:33] you can get a raspberry pi soon for $25 [03:33] i like it okay [03:33] Okay Thanks a lot I really appreciate it... alkafoo [03:33] hello, i'm antonio, i don't speak english, but i need help about ubuntu server, can you help me? [03:33] it doesn't feel "ready for prime time" though [03:33] i already have a modern laptop, an old desktop, and now a really old laptop, which for fun and for practical reasons i would like to not just throw away [03:33] BangBusRUs: no prob [03:33] antonio_: what do you speak? [03:33] i speak spain [03:33] rc.indymedia.org [03:33] castellano =) [03:33] i think unity has good potential just there are some gotchas that make it kind of frustrating [03:33] si [03:33] castellano [03:33] WebGoddess008, it feels clunky lol. I agree something had to be done but i think unity was a huge step back [03:34] tty1 > the way most desktops are going (this isnt a tablet or a phone!) [03:34] !es | antonio_ [03:34] antonio_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [03:34] but i'm very nitpicky being a "power user" of a computer rather than the typical "word and excel" cubical types [03:34] lot of people think that, though =) [03:34] i write that here? [03:34] antonio_: yes [03:34] thanks! [03:34] /join #Ubuntu-es [03:34] urlin2u, alkafoo: I am currently running the LiveCD, and it has an option to upgrade from 10.04.3 LTS to 11.10. See http://i.imgur.com/kRt0M.png [03:35] Boom_Farmer: I believe there's an option [03:35] WebGoddess008, yea.....2 application users will have no problems with unity because they won't use it lol [03:35] Boom_Farmer: but if you've already backed up your home, you may as well do a fresh install [03:35] webgoddess008 well do what Linux lets you that windows doesent install or code your own x11 :) [03:35] well this is my first major ubuntu install, i tried 8.04 back when it came out but didn't have the motivation to make the switch [03:35] Boom_Farmer: unless you're just bored/curious [03:35] alkafoo, what would the advantage of doing a fresh install be? [03:35] Boom_Farmer: it'd be much more likely to work properly [03:35] Boom_Farmer, sounds familiar that was a unusual step in the history of ubuntu. [03:36] WebGoddess008, did you go with unity 2d or 3d? [03:36] i wish that there was a linux native equivalent for SQLyog, i suppose i can heidisql over wine but if i'm going to heidisql~wine i might as well sqlyog~wine [03:36] Nothing is showing up when i try to run system-config-samba (after entering my password) [03:36] on 11.10 [03:36] WebGoddess008: what does sqlyog do? [03:36] just 2d since the graphics card sucks on this laptop [03:37] alkafoo: is having things not work a common problem after a dist-upgrade? [03:37] Hey guys, how do I mount a CD so that an app run in Wine will recognize it as a CD? [03:37] Boom_Farmer: IME it is, with Ubuntu [03:37] webgoddess008 or fix your sql syntax :) [03:37] Boom_Farmer: if things work _at all_ [03:37] sqlyog is a powerful tool for mysql DBA including stored procs and triggers and user management etc [03:37] From an .iso file* [03:37] much better than mysqladmin [03:37] WebGoddess008: so, GUI manager? [03:37] yeah, it is nice [03:37] i like being productive [03:37] zizoo: mount as usual, tell winecfg where it is [03:37] it makes me more productive [03:38] mysql -uuser -ppassword :) [03:38] WebGoddess008, go lamp and use PHPMyAdmin lol [03:38] it does take a while to learn all the commands [03:38] Then I think I shall do a clean install, even though it means reinstalling all my packages. [03:38] it is better than phpmyadmin [03:38] Oh ok. Thanks! [03:38] to not have to need a GUI [03:38] correection to above mysql -uuser -p [03:38] i guess i could use phpmyadmin if i have to go completely linux lol [03:39] then enter your pass [03:39] Boom_Farmer: think it'll spare you grief in the long run =) [03:39] yeah yeah [03:39] Boom_Farmer: you can generate a list of your extra installed packages beforehand if you like [03:39] !clone [03:39] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [03:39] before i go command line mysql i'm going to figure out vim completely [03:39] phpmyadmin lets you use gui and sql commands [03:39] WebGoddess008: good idea [03:39] namely i don't know how to handle multiple documents and tabs in gvim [03:39] is there some sort of way that Ubuntu figures out how much swap it needs when you're installing it? [03:39] i like vim a lot for server work just haven't used it locally [03:39] well, webUI [03:40] Pilif12p: I would imagine there must be some formula [03:40] I used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 instead. [03:40] usually 1.5-2x your ram [03:40] Or does it just say "Hey, I like the number 853 so lets turn that into gigabytes, move the decimal over a couple" [03:40] Pilif12p: no doubt based partly on how much RAM the system has [03:40] because that's what it seems to have done [03:40] I don't think I need an 8.5 GB swap partition [03:40] Pilif12p: it _probably_ doesn't do that [03:40] Pilif12p: you don't [03:41] Pilif12p, how much ram do you have? [03:41] 3 gb [03:41] webgoddess008 learning vim wont help you with mysql nano is the better quick to use editor. You will only ever need to know vi when you need to recover a failed mission critical server [03:41] mmm hello, nobody is online in "/join #ubuntu-es", could you help me here? [03:41] LinuxRules: I don't think she was suggesting it would [03:41] Pilif12p, yea 8gb is too big lol [03:41] ... so if i install kubuntu can i keep my regular home directory or do i have to do a clean install? or is it just best to do a clean install? i'm not sure if i'll like kubuntu more or not either so i don't want to waste time [03:41] antonio_: yes [03:41] i already know vim, just not gui vim [03:42] WebGoddess008: should be fine with your current home [03:42] WebGoddess008: You can just run "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" on your current install of Ubuntu. [03:42] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde results vary [03:42] i thought i tried that and it errored out but i'll try again [03:42] webgoddess008 you already using Ubuntu , if you aree no need for Kubuntu just install kde [03:42] you might want to try it from outside of X [03:42] I've had mixed luck with it [03:42] ok, i hope you can stand my english xD, i wanna start a ubnut server but i don't know if i must to configure the router, i should do it or it is not need [03:42] a fresh install would probably be more likely to work [03:42] Everytime I've tried to use it, I could never get back to gnome lol [03:43] antonio_: you don't need to unless you do =) [03:43] antonio_: that is: install, see how it works out, then decide [03:43] if i wanns mount a web server? [03:43] it is ok antonio, go ahead [03:43] antonio_: you want to serve to the internet [03:43] yeah [03:43] antonio_: you might have to alter your router configuration, but you can do it after installing [03:43] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [03:43] kubuntu-desktop : Depends: kde-window-manager [03:43] Depends: kde-workspace-bin but it is not going to be installed [03:43] Depends: language-selector-kde but it is not going to be installed [03:43] Depends: plasma-desktop but it is not going to be installed [03:43] WebGoddess008: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:43] Depends: plasma-netbook but it is not going to be installed [03:43] to internet [03:43] !pastebin | WebGoddess008 [03:43] WebGoddess008: 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. [03:44] sorry floodbot my bad [03:44] anyway i must do it? [03:44] hey guys how can i make a new partition in kde partition manager, i want to make a partition to save some musci, text and photo [03:44] photo=picture [03:44] antonio_: you might have to do it, you probably will have to BUT [03:44] antonio_: you can do it after you install the server, you don't have to wait [03:44] antonio_, setup your ubuntu web server first, make sure it works on the lan, patch it and secure it, then create a port forward in your router for wan access [03:45] webgoddess008 what did you use for install? [03:45] ok i have stand [03:45] thank very much [03:45] muchas gracias [03:45] your English is pretty good, BTW [03:45] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:45] why use kde though [03:45] sorry my castellano is so horrid [03:45] jajaja i try to speak english [03:45] LinuxRules: why use nano [03:45] antonio_, server web setup you will forward router port wan [03:46] LinuxRules, because i have kubuntu [03:46] alkafoo because its less keys to press [03:46] LinuxRules: but it isn't =) [03:46] ok then i must pen the port form the router to wan, its true? [03:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/792374/ [03:46] alkafoo it is though 1. vi [03:47] antonio_, the port foward in the router is only so the "internet" can see your web server [03:47] does there have any chinese here??? [03:47] antonio_: somehow you have to get a static IP to point to your web server, there are various scenarios [03:47] alkafoo 2. insert [03:47] Circular: #ubuntu-cn [03:47] alkafoo 3 type [03:47] LinuxRules: insert is not the second step =P === Safe is now known as Guest52340 [03:48] ok [03:48] thats the way its always worked for me [03:48] i stand [03:48] antonio_, an example: Web Server Lan IP: 192.168.1.50 , public IP: 4.2.2.2 , create port forward of 4.2.2.2:8080 -> 192.168.1.50:80 [03:48] antonio_: just install and get your system working locally first, you have to do that regardless [03:48] alkafoo Ive always hated vim lol [03:48] Whats the best media player that can play almost all media? [03:48] BangBusRUs: that has a GUI? [03:48] BangBusRUs, nice name lol [03:48] Thx [03:49] Dont care would be nice to have a nice gui but it should be a resorce hog like all of bindows apps [03:49] okok where 4.2.2.2 is the public ip and 8080 is the port number? [03:49] BangBusRUs: try SMPlayer [03:49] antonio_, just setup the server first, then worry about the port forward later [03:50] ok, [03:50] ok thx, would it be good for dvd's and DAT files? [03:50] My ubuntu on flashdrive can't install to hard drive completely, various errors [03:50] thank you, i will start my server now! :D [03:50] is there any other way to install to hard drive? === root is now known as Guest34703 [03:50] hydruid your server only serving web pages? [03:50] BangBusRUs: almost anything [03:50] sweet [03:51] I know i should ask this in #gnome but you guys r awesome x3 Why the heck doesnt Gnome have a minimize button? [03:51] thankkkks! [03:51] BangBusRUs: mplayer (what SMPlayer is a frontend for) will probably play a little more just because the GUI has to make certain assumptions [03:51] LinuxRules, not mine it's antonio_ 's [03:51] Bunie: doesn't it? [03:52] ah kk only 80 and a http aly have been opened though [03:52] alt* [03:53] ... so do gnome apps work well with kde? i would assume so but i haven't done anything with kde so i'm gnu to it [03:53] WebGoddess008, i think they can float back and forth but it looks "ugly" [03:53] dont use kde its bad! [03:53] and i'm not even picky about appearance lol [03:54] why is it bad [03:54] however most people hate kde now [03:54] personally i hate them all, gnome, unity, and kde === Guest52340 is now known as Safe_ [03:54] bunie, you can change it to show minimize but they try to keep it simple [03:54] well what do you use hydruid and why [03:54] its to messy I dont use my gui much but would rather go through 1 than 3 [03:54] My laptop just started spewing so many errors about pixbuf loader files when I told it to update... [03:54] WebGoddess008, windows 7 :) and android because they are simple but work [03:55] Hello need assistance. My sound all of a sudden stopped working. [03:55] the thing is that i want to evangelize people to linux, so whatever is best for others i want to be familiar with [03:55] WebGoddess008, I've always been a hardcore linux fan but the UI is lacking compared to windows [03:55] Ford_P: I recently had some problems with my audio, what is your specific problem? [03:55] It worked on Friday, but doesn't work now [03:55] WebGoddess008, so for the last couple months i've been using windows 7 as my main desktop with linux VM's [03:55] checked the obvious [03:56] i mean i could probably just go to debian and use generic xfce and figure it out but that isn't helping me evangelize so well [03:56] Ford_P: have you checked the simple things, as in alsamixer etc? [03:56] volume button is turned on [03:56] well i tried Xubuntu and wasn't impressed by it [03:56] WebGoddess008, yea but it goes back to what you said earlier.....unity is for regular users, not power users [03:56] Need assistance with knowing which chipset I have [03:56] i think Kubuntu will probably be better for me than Xubuntu [03:56] just not sure if it is better than unity [03:56] I ran lspci -v [03:57] most people think that way until they use it [03:57] have fun getting lost in it's k-menu ;) [03:57] and I get lot's of text back [03:57] just i want to solidify on one platform and stick to it since i don't have time to keep fussing with guis [03:57] Ford_P: My problem was embarrasingly simple, it had switched to hdmi, went into alsamixer, muted hdmi, changed soundcard and muted s/pdif and then it worked. [03:57] but don't know what text is important [03:57] WebGoddess008, well then you're stuck in the same boat as me, most of them are horrible right now [03:57] so I should open the alsamixer? [03:58] WebGoddess008, however most people are either using Unity or Gnome [03:58] Linux is for people who want to be real hackers ( not crackers) Windows users are people who want to use email and facebook [03:58] LinuxRules, that is not always true [03:58] i thought unity was gnome [03:58] Cool I hope it's embarrassingly simple. [03:58] you're saying gnome has its own desktop? is that Xubuntu? [03:58] LinuxRules, my wife prefers linux to check her facebook and email lol [03:58] hydruid I know [03:58] WebGoddess008, no [03:59] WebGoddess008, Xubuntu uses XFCE for it's desktoop, Kubuntu uses KDE, Ubuntu uses Unity [03:59] hrm [03:59] you should guve gnome 3 and unity chance [03:59] normally i use default disc writer when i stick a cd in, i need to burn at slow speed however to prevent an error i am getting so i think i have to use brasero to control the speed; however the terms used are different, im assuming i need to choose burn data, but then it gives me the option to burn as image or burn as data, not sure what to do [03:59] should i just switch to debian and use gnome then lol [03:59] give [03:59] WebGoddess008, if you've ever used Debian or Fedora, or old school versions of Ubuntu then you used gnome [03:59] Xfce ftw :) [04:00] WebGoddess008, up to you, most people are running gnome or unity right now from what i hear [04:00] Where did you make the change so that the sound worked? [04:00] Unity is probably the most user friendly [04:00] how does debian on gui compare to ubuntu? ubuntu seems more PLUR lol [04:00] plur? [04:00] peace~love~unity~respect [04:00] they are both goo [04:00] good [04:01] webgoddess008 until you know how to replace your desktop you dont like no help can be offered play around with aptitude see what it does and you should work it out [04:01] unity will work on hte new intel tablets too [04:01] oh and i am burning an iso to install an OS [04:01] hmm [04:01] WebGoddess008, you have unity now and you see how it works. Gnome is similiar to the way Microsoft Windows work with a start button and being menu driven [04:01] well i may just download and install debian [04:02] WebGoddess008, you might think about that first, ubuntu is made from debian [04:02] Debian is good [04:02] debian = stable but older apps [04:02] ubuntu = a little more buggy but new apps [04:02] grape_, choose burn as image [04:02] webgo, try it [04:02] Ubuntu = Debian testing = Newer apps. [04:02] i've been using debian on server side for years [04:02] but underneath they're very similiar [04:02] well i can just update the repositories to get newer apps w/debian right? [04:03] i mean i'd like firefox 9 but ubuntu doesn't have it [04:03] or try crunchbang [04:03] correct [04:03] WebGoddess008, You can grab a PPA to install Firefox 9.0.1. [04:03] yes firefox9 works on ubuntu [04:03] hydruid yeah they do work in the same way but there defo not the same under the hood! [04:03] however by default ubuntu runs say FF8, where debian runs FF7 [04:03] download it from the site and run it [04:03] debian just lags a little behind [04:03] for 11.10? i found it for older ubuntu versions [04:04] !info firefox [04:04] You can find a ppa for nightly, aurora, and beta. [04:04] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.3 (oneiric), package size 16526 kB, installed size 35656 kB [04:04] LinuxRules, you know that Ubuntu is made from debian right? [04:04] I have 9.0.1. on 10.04 LTS through a PPA. [04:04] can someone help me with a small permission problem? [04:04] But I noticed 9.0.1. tends to have a bug in it. [04:04] diuneigh, post your question [04:04] yeah but you dont need need pp [04:04] it runs from file [04:04] hydruid thought you were talking about distros in general sorry [04:05] Blah, accidentally closed IRC. [04:05] hydruid: I tried to install a program.. but now I do not want it and want to delete it but I can't because I set read only permission. How can I delete that folder.. sorry I'm a noob. [04:05] LinuxRules: ubuntu is something like 70% unmodified debian packages anyway [04:05] Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the desktop launcher thing that installs with 10.04 netbook? it runs sooooo slow. [04:05] WebGoddess008: Choose from the Mozilla Launchpad PPAs: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam [04:05] hydruid: I gave this command sudo chmod 777 -R (dir name) [04:05] defaultuser: Are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [04:06] sagaci cheers :) [04:06] ubuntu. gnome. [04:06] thanks boom [04:06] diuneigh, sudo chown -R username:root /dir/name [04:06] ? [04:06] well for debian should i just get i386 iso then? i don't think this laptop can do x64 [04:06] I wear a red hat personally [04:06] defaultuser: Do you like how the 'desktop launcher thing' looks, or would you be interested in a different desktop environment? [04:06] diuneigh, or maybe, chmod -R 777 /dir/name [04:06] ugh i don't really like redhat [04:06] hydruid: let me try.. thank you.. [04:06] its what I work with always worked with red hat servers [04:07] boom, i'm brand newb. i honestly don't care hat it looks like, i just want it work well. : ) [04:07] Okay got everything sorted, just one last thing, I am going to be using Ubuntu on my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 and so how do I get the fingerprint scanner to work? [04:07] why Im here leaning Debian server ways but its always desktop stuff [04:07] defaultuser, Probably best to stick to Ubuntu 10.04 for stability. [04:07] LinuxRules, so you actually running redhat servers or CentOS ? [04:08] hydruid Im 2nd line support mainly centos but some red hat [04:08] LinuxRules, linux tech support, doesn't sound like fun lol [04:08] aBound: the default launcher is what i'm trying to get rid of. it's essentially nonfucntional. a google search yields others with a similar problem, but no solution (that i know how to implement) [04:08] defaultuser: Go to a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' [04:09] That will install XFCE [04:09] hydruid Its not bad until you have to call them [04:09] defaultuser, Default launcher as in what Unity? [04:09] abound: i have no idea. [04:09] hydruid Its server support to [04:09] How do I identify my chipset when I type lspci -v [04:09] ? [04:09] LinuxRules, tech support is bad enough, but with linux there are a million wrong ways to do something [04:10] Ford_P: What particular chipset are you looking for? Wifi? [04:10] defaultuser, Haven't a clue what you referred to as a launcher. But if you're referring to the GUI. [04:10] sound [04:10] Where can I copy and paste the output ? [04:10] Can I dump it into the chat? [04:10] !pastebin | grep Ford_P [04:10] grep Ford_P: 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. [04:10] Ford_P: pastebin.com [04:11] cheers [04:11] hydruid yeah now thats one thing that was brought to my attention, but if someone is stupid enough to break there pc so? [04:11] Ubuntu 11.10 uses Unity as it's default GUI whereas gnome-shell can be installed along the side. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS uses Gnome 2 by default. [04:11] abound, im referring to whatever it is that occupies the my entire screen at startup on netbook version. it has favorites, files, accesories, games, etc, on the left, and a list of applications on the entire rest of the screen [04:11] boom_farmer: it says cannot find package xubuntu-desktop [04:11] Ahh, haven't a clue with the netbook version. [04:12] So I've posted it to the paste bin. But I think the chipset is Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Controller (rev 02) [04:13] can anyone help me delete a directory that had read permission only? [04:14] how do trouble shoot sound [04:14] I'm trying to get the fingerprint scanner to work on my thinkpad t61 any ideas? [04:14] diuneigh if the files owened by root no [04:14] defaultuser: Did you spell it right? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xubuntu [04:14] which it will be if you caqnt delete [04:15] linuxRules: I made the dir myself but I can't delete it now.. sorry I'm a noob.. [04:15] boom_farmer, command on tha link seems to be working, thank you. : ) [04:16] diuneigh where did you make the dir need the full path [04:16] ... well i'm burning a debian disc and a kubuntu disc so i'm going to see what i like better from livecd and probably go with it [04:16] i had sound then changed it to 5.1 surround sound and now i have no sound [04:16] ... i'll probably end up using debian since i'm nitpicky about stuff lol [04:17] webgoddess008 i you invited me to yours I could have installed whatr was needed [04:17] LinuxRules: $ sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/test/ [04:17] LinuxRules: that is the command I gave to make it read only [04:18] LinuxRules: Now I want to delete it. [04:18] diuneigh what needs access to that? [04:18] LinuxRules: I tried to install a torrent program [04:18] Anybody good with thinkpads? [04:18] ... i just want to be super productive ... unity is slowing me down somewhat, although i love the name of it [04:18] BangBusRUs: in what way? [04:18] if its got 777 you should be able to delete no? [04:19] terminal says permission denied. [04:19] just installed ubuntu but the fingerprint scanner isnt working any ideas [04:19] WebGoddess008: install xfce4 and log into the XFCE session, should be ok [04:19] BangBusRUs: run: lspci; lsusb one line will identify the device, use the line to find guides [04:19] LinuxRules: what code do I type to delete it? [04:19] That was the only thing that drove me back to bindows [04:19] ok [04:20] diuneigh cant help nothing Ive used [04:20] BangBusRUs: for the sake of a crummy fingerprint reader, that's pretty poor [04:20] Im lazy lol [04:20] BangBusRUs: sad [04:20] j/k [04:20] LinuxRules: ok.. thanks anyway.. [04:21] diuneigh: if the torrent is active it will lock the files. Is that what you are trying to do [04:21] ActionParsnip: no, I never got the program to install properly so now I want to remove it.. [04:21] any recommendations for a diary program for ubuntu? [04:21] any one no how to get sound to work [04:22] diuneigh: what is the app and how did you install it> [04:22] ActionParsnip: can I pm you the link? [04:22] thiner: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [04:22] diuneigh: sure [04:23] rurufufuss: you could check out rednotebook [04:23] domething like apt-get-install-diff-from-yum [04:24] oh sorry you have to use sudo [04:24] geoffmcc: thanks, will try that [04:24] still nothing [04:24] ActionParsnip, do i just do "sudo apt-get install xfce4"? [04:25] I like mhow Ubuntu is spreading the Linux but dont dumb it down to much [04:25] under sound setting output is says dunny output [04:25] WebGoddess008: yes, then log off, change your session to xfce and log in [04:25] thanks, i'll try that <3 [04:25] WebGoddess008: smells and feels like gniome2 [04:26] what about gnome3? lol [04:26] gnome 3 sucks try Debian 6 to see [04:26] gnome 1 :) [04:26] WebGoddess008: it will be installed, just not running. You can use your Gnome apps without issue in XFCE [04:26] !ot > LinuxRules [04:26] LinuxRules, please see my private message [04:26] or Fedora probably 17 by now [04:27] oh ok [04:27] well it's installing now so i'll see how i like it when it finishes the install [04:27] fedora is plain looking to me [04:27] Woot, good thing for Linux. :) [04:27] how do i check the space available on my HDD? [04:28] thiner: if you can give the output of my command, we may be able to advise [04:28] Bunie: df -h [04:28] have I been blocked I did say Fedora 17 probablly what there at anyway [04:28] thanks ActionParsnip gonna log off now to try this out ... [04:28] ActionParsnip: thanks. it kept telling me lost+found has no space left? :S [04:28] ActionParsnip still nothing bro... [04:29] webgoddess008 if you give me root I will fix [04:29] is there a time when firefox 9 will be available for oneiric? [04:30] LinuxRules: Please stop with the off topic and unhelpful comments [04:30] I was offering help [04:30] I am looking for some help regarding the migration of fstab over a downgrade from 64bit to 32bit [04:30] ryoohki: You could probably install the Beta [04:30] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e024687983e6218ec8317c5b002aa498f5532e3f when into the terminal and entered it and that is what i came up with [04:30] BangBusRUs: are there any bugs reported? [04:30] LinuxRules any ideas on thinkpad fingerprint scanner? [04:30] nope [04:31] not really BangBusRUs Im a server man [04:31] ok thx [04:31] BangBusRUs: I suggest you report one then [04:31] Bunie: know where the beta is? ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa ? [04:31] how? [04:31] I'm very new to linux btw [04:32] !bug | BangBusRUs [04:32] BangBusRUs: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [04:32] huh??? [04:33] 0_o [04:33] BangBusRUs: what? [04:33] I know its off topic but any of you Ubuntu guys like any other distros? [04:33] ok thx [04:33] err [04:34] ha oggtopic :) [04:35] Greetings. Anyone here think they can help me not have to reformat my HTPC? I tried to enable lzo compression on it (using btrfs) -- and it won't boot past the GRUB window. I *can* however get a full/normal session logged on -- but only via NX remote desktop. [04:35] does anyone have an idea why ubuntu 11.10 lags when I click on a program? it takes around 5 second for it to pop up. [04:35] I can ssh in but as far as all native output, it's all stuck at the GRUB2 window. [04:35] Any takers? [04:35] Logos01: what GPU do you use? [04:36] grub menu you mean? [04:36] dr_willis: No. Not grub menu. An error screen related to GRUB but not the menu itself. [04:36] logos01 is that x11 forwarding or your desktop? [04:36] ActionParsnip: GT440. [04:36] LinuxRules: Yes and yes. freenx. [04:36] Logos01: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [04:37] ActionParsnip: What makes you think it's the video card? [04:37] new to Linux and cant get my sound to work [04:37] Also, I'm using the nvidia driver not the noveau driver. [04:37] logos01 your yes and yes does not make sense [04:37] Logos01: does the system go to a black screen after grub? [04:37] LinuxRules: Read up on what freenx is. [04:37] ActionParsnip: No. [04:37] How can I lower the network priority or set a speed limit for a running process? [04:37] I don't get to the grub menu at all. [04:37] Logos01: what if you hold shift at boot? [04:37] It freezes at "error: sparse file not allowed. \n\n Press any key to continue..." [04:38] Haven't tried holding shift at boot, gimme a second. [04:38] Also, this behavior began when I attempted to enable lzo compression on my root directory. [04:38] (I've since removed that flag, but it's still behaving this way.) [04:38] how does the fstab change with upgrades? [04:39] eyeothemastodon: upgrades to what? [04:39] distro upgrades [04:39] eyeothemastodon: it's untouched [04:39] like from 10.04 to 11.10 [04:39] kerenel [04:39] eyeothemastodon: you'll need to upgrade a LOT to get from Lucid to Oneiric [04:39] right [04:40] but if i were to backup my fstab [04:40] eyeothemastodon: if you can hang til April then you can upgrade directly to 12.04 [04:40] could i copy it into a fresh installation? [04:40] well, mostly i need to go from 64bit to 32 [04:40] the upgrade is rather irrelevant [04:40] eyeothemastodon: sure, if you make new partitions the UUIDs will be different but you can work around that [04:40] ActionParsnip: Holding down the shift key had no impact whatsoever. What was the goal of that endeavor? [04:41] hmm [04:41] ActionParsnip, xfce works much better, but i didn't like how Xubuntu was set up [04:41] this is for a media server [04:41] Logos01: it makes grub show, if you single boot Grub doesn't show but holding SHIFT makes it show [04:41] thanks, i think xfce will actually get the job done for me, it is more intuitive for power use [04:41] so i really am trying to avoid changing my 4 tb of data [04:41] ActionParsnip: Well, it would've showed normally anyhow since I don't have zero timeout on GRUB. === SVNDR735 is now known as SVNDR [04:42] But I don't *get to the GRUB menu at all*. [04:42] WebGoddess008: people disliking Unity / Gnome shell are moving to other DEs like XFCE and such [04:42] With or without pressing shift. [04:42] Logos01: then I suggest you boot to live CD and reinstate Grub2 with this: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ [04:43] Hello, I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me?? I've created a multiple monitor setup, and once I got it working, I now have two menu bars at the top (the top one is just empty, and the bottom row has the menu and time etc). I'm using gnome classic on 11.10. Thanks :) [04:43] is there a way to go from 11.4 64bit to 11.10 32bit without changing the partitions? [04:43] ActionParsnip: Why? It goes past GRUB and boots into a fully working instance that I can remote desktop into. [04:43] eyeothemastodon: no [04:43] TTY1 is mthe new gui [04:43] just the partitions, i dont care about the data [04:43] I just can't get any video/audio/console interaction with the device through any means *other* than network. [04:43] eyeothemastodon: no [04:44] the* [04:44] eyeothemastodon: you need to re-install [04:44] Logos01: is it just a blank screen? [04:44] LinuxRules: stop being silly please - only warning you'll get [04:44] yes, i am well aware of that [04:44] sup [04:44] ActionParsnip: Again, no. [04:44] I will re-describe my issue again. [04:44] ikonia sorry? [04:44] but couldn't that be possible without changing any of the disk structure? [04:44] actionparsnip http://pastebin.com/Waamb7Xn [04:45] wtf is this??? [04:45] eyeothemastodon: why would you have to change the partition size ? [04:45] eyeothemastodon: it's just a re-install, nothing more [04:45] I'd like to get rid of the blank row ... can anyone help? [04:45] ........? [04:45] i like the "fuzzy" clock [04:46] BangBusRUs: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+package/thinkfinger-tools [04:46] ActionParsnip: My direct audiovideo output freezes at the GRUB error screen which has the lines "error: compression type 0x2 not supported. \n error: sparse file not allowed. \n \n Press any key to continue..." -- and no keyboard input is acknowledged at all. No audio output is received by my speakers. *HOWEVER* -- it fully boots completely and I am able to remote desktop via NX and/or SSH into the box. [04:46] thx [04:46] ikonia, thats what I was asking. I have an fstab that is setup to automatically merge some drives, took me a while to get that working. and if i could avoid that work again after a re-install, that would be swell [04:47] ActionParsnip: This all began when I attempted to add the "compress=lzo" flag to my /etc/fstab for my root filesystem (btrfs), but it is persistent even though I have *removed* that flag. [04:47] Logos01: I see, I have very basic sound troubleshooting ability. Are there any bugs reported? [04:47] eyeothemastodon: that will need to be re-written as part of the install [04:47] eyeothemastodon: just take a backup copy of the fstab and use the parts you can on the new install [04:47] ActionParsnip: I have no clue. It's not a sound issue. [04:47] I want my computer to boot normally. It isn't. [04:47] ikonia, thank you, thats the confirmation i was looking for [04:47] I need to have it boot with normal audiovideo output and I'd rather not have to reformat the disk to achieve this. [04:47] The problem began when I attempted to enable lzo compression and ended then. It is not a sound issue. [04:48] If you are not qualified to help with this, just say so and I will move on. [04:48] Logos01: if you read /var/log/Xorg.0.log it may help, also try removing the boot options: quiet splash so you can watch the boot [04:49] Hey can i just ask one question to all the helpers in here please? [04:49] ActionParsnip: Why would those help if I'm not getting to a point where the bootsplash info would even show up before it freezes? [04:49] Logos01: I can suggest things, try less attitude [04:49] BangBusRUs: if it's about ubuntu - sure [04:49] BangBusRUs: if not, no [04:49] Do you guy's get paid? [04:49] no [04:49] dang [04:49] Logos01: if you tell the boot stuffs to not show, you may see the boot messages [04:49] ActionParsnip: Well, quite honestly, I've explained exactly the same thing to you personally three times now and you keep giving advice that's entirely unrelated to actually addressing my issue. [04:50] you guys do a great job you should imho [04:50] ActionParsnip: I DON'T GET TO THE POINT WHERE "BOOT STUFFS" SHOWS UP AT ALL. [04:50] Logos01: you are having a boot issue so seeing the boot messages will be useful [04:50] Maybe I could ask it one more time.... I just installed 11.10, and am using the gnome-classic environment. I set up dual monitors/desktops (one a Acer 17" and one a 47" LG tv). Once I got that working properly, I found two rows of menus at the top of the screen. The first row is blank and the second has all the menus and time etc. I'd like to remove that blank row, and have no idea how to do it. Could someone help with that? [04:50] Logos01: well you must as sshd starts [04:50] ActionParsnip: I don't, that's what I've been telling you. [04:51] The video output freezes *BEFORE* the GRUB menu shows up. [04:51] Logos01: so the OS boots to some degree, just it isn;t being shown, the boot option removal will enable you to see what is going on [04:51] Please actually read my described problems instead of giving half-cocked incompetent advice. [04:51] Logos01: drop the attiude, [04:51] ikonia: It would be easier if I didn't have to re-explain myself iteratively and still get people not understanding plain-language. [04:52] Logos01: try it, it's free to try [04:52] Logos01: you're not explaining it very well, that's why [04:52] Logos01: try again, I'm paying full attention to you now [04:52] ikonia: It's simple to understand. I explained it in exact language. Scroll up. [04:52] Logos01: I don't have it in my buffer [04:52] My direct audiovideo output freezes at the GRUB error screen which has the lines "error: [04:52] compression type 0x2 not supported. \n error: sparse file not allowed. \n \n Press any key to continue..." -- [04:53] and no keyboard input is acknowledged at all. No audio output is received by my speakers. *HOWEVER* -- it [04:53] fully boots completely and I am able to remote desktop via NX and/or SSH into the box. [04:53] actionparsnip how do i check if it installed the thinkfinger tools? [04:53] Logos01: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:53] ... that was originally one line. My apologies; irssi screwed up the CNP. [04:53] Logos01: that's ot grub [04:53] ikonia: Yes, actually, it is. [04:53] ont [04:53] BangBusRUs: you will see it in the output of: dpkg -l | grep finger [04:53] ughh, "not" [04:53] It's not the GRUB *menu* but I assure you it's GRUB. [04:53] * WebGoddess008 really likes XFCE *default* install...not much of a fan of xubuntu default install [04:54] i dont understand dpkg? [04:54] Does it matter where I put grub on the hard drive if I have multiple partitions? Should I just put it in root, as in /dev/sdc, or in /dev/sdc6 (where ubuntu is) [04:54] Logos01: you said you could SSH to the system, right> [04:54] Safe_: usually the mbr is used [04:55] Whats the difference between Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2D? [04:55] 1D [04:55] :p [04:55] You mean Unity 3D and Unity 2D? [04:55] ActionParsnip: Yes, I can ssh in. [04:55] ActionParsnip: Installing it now and need to select device for boot loader installation, mbr is not chooseable [04:55] But the video out freezes up before I get to the GRUB menu. [04:55] SVNDR: ubuntu uses a 3D accellerated Unity with effects and junk. Unity2D uses metacity, is lighter and doesn't need 3d accelleration [04:56] Safe_: the MBR should be an option [04:56] Logos01: so therefore the OS is booting and Grub is doing it;s thing [04:56] Macbuntu is pretty interesting. [04:56] Yes. [04:56] One would assume. [04:57] is it me or ubuntu server is no more free... [04:57] Logos01: so the screen is being skewed by te boot splash which is having issues displaying. If you take that out you will boot in text mode which ANY hardware can do [04:57] ii libofa0 0.9.3-3.1 Library for acoustic fingerprinting [04:57] Logos01: you can then see where it stops and what is goingon [04:57] ActionParsnip: It really isn't though. Have multiple drives with multiple OS's and multiple partitions (yes, messy I know) so I figured I could just have grub on this hard drive [04:57] Ubuntu server is free. [04:57] BangBusRUs: then it's not installed [04:57] ActionParsnip: who are youtalking to ? [04:57] ActionParsnip: sorry, nt you [04:57] well how do i install it? [04:57] Safe_: that's fine, just tell the BIOS to boot that drive [04:58] I downloaded the package and installed it [04:58] BangBusRUs: visit ubuntu.com and read [04:58] BangBusRUs: I gave a link, it has debs for a lot of architectures, grab the one matching yours [04:58] BangBusRUs: what package [04:58] ActionParsnip: That's what I had in mind, so do I put it in sdc or sdc6? :) [04:58] Thanks [04:58] aBound why does it says its 300 something dollars. [04:58] ActionParsnip: could that be the reason why some of my wine programs dont run so fast [04:58] Safe_: try it, you can always boot to live CD and put the boot loader elsewhere there [04:58] Sebastien: where on ubuntu.com does it say ubuntu server is$$300 ? [04:59] SVNDR: possibly [04:59] Sebastien, You must be looking at the other Ubuntu Servers the ones for business. [04:59] ActionParsnip: cheers, i might try in 2D soon [04:59] Sebastien: i forget what its called, but its some kind of cloud service ubuntu is offering for $$ now, but ubuntu server is still free [04:59] there isn't one for business - it's the same [04:59] thinkfinger-tools_0.3+r118-0ubuntu5_i386 [04:59] BangBusRUs: are you using 32bit ubuntu? [04:59] Sebastien, Ubuntu Advantage Advanced Server and such. [04:59] yes [04:59] ActionParsnip: "so the screen is being skewed by te boot splash which is having issues displaying." <-- no. [04:59] BangBusRUs: sounds good then [05:00] That *can't* be right, because it isn't *GETTING* to the bootsplash. [05:00] It freezes before the GRUB menu shows up. [05:00] Logos01: what is on screen during boot? [05:00] Well why isnt it installed then? [05:00] The boot splash **cannot** interact with it. === lolwut is now known as KindOne [05:00] Logos01: it must get past grub or you wouldn't be able to ssh as the service wouldnt get started [05:00] ActionParsnip: As I've said to you directly four times now, and about five times besides that, a GRUB error. [05:00] Sebastien, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download [05:01] Logos01: grub is succesful [05:01] ActionParsnip: Yes, but that's where the error is occurring. [05:01] Logos01: I don't get why you just won't try it, its a simple text file edit and one command [05:01] Because that's where it freezes. BEFORE the GRUB menu comes up. [05:01] grub->kernel->init->services ,.. if services then grub==true [05:01] Logos01: it can't be as ssh starts [05:01] then you cant ssh into a machine that hasent gotten past grub [05:01] It has to be because that's where it's goddamned happening. [05:02] cant :) [05:02] Logos01: its not. If grub failed then you WOULDN'T be able to ssh [05:02] Fuck it. You people are incompetent. Goodbye. [05:02] hmm [05:02] some people just won't be told [05:02] thinkfinger-tools_0.3+r118-0ubuntu5_i386 thats what i dl and installed [05:03] brb [05:03] funny how we tend to criticise in others what we should remedy in ourselves :) [05:04] Okso how do i check if the thinkfinger tools got installed please??? [05:04] BangBusRUs: double click the deb file... [05:04] i did [05:05] BangBusRUs: and was the process smooth? [05:05] I just upgraded an Xubuntu 10.10 box to Ubuntu 11.10, and now Korganizer won't run. The Akonadi PIM service is not operational. I reinstalled both, but still no joy. [05:05] yes [05:06] Has anyone ever seen funny A.I. [05:06] edbian: you know you're in #ubuntu right ? [05:06] ikonia, whooops! [05:06] :P [05:06] :) [05:06] so how do i use it now? === Guest99254 is now known as shadowe989_ [05:07] Hello! Got an audio question [05:07] Good thing for 10.04 being stable. [05:07] I used a bluetooth headphone and afterwards my regular audio doesn't work anymore [05:08] (having stopped using the bluetooth headphones) [05:10] anyone here have comcast and know a thing or two about networking? [05:10] curran: [05:11] curran: [05:11] oop [05:11] Trying to get my wireless modem to release dhcp through coax. line. [05:11] curran: ##networking maybe a better place for general network chatter [05:11] I don't get much help there. [05:11] just looking for someone [05:11] curran: we only deal with ubuntu here [05:11] might know [05:11] I'm using ubuntu [05:12] curran: it's not an ubuntu issue [05:12] curran: the people in ##networking explained what you needed to do at a high level, I suggest following up if you need more detail [05:13] yeah, not accurate at all [05:14] hence why I'm looking elsewhere [05:14] it was fine [05:14] nevermind I guess [05:14] I suggest following up in there, this is for ubuntu support, not networking [05:14] any help on the bluetooth audio in ubuntu 11.10 question? [05:14] I only installed Ubuntu yesterday and i already have over 300 updates i need to do.. is that normal? [05:14] yep [05:15] SVNDR: because you installed a version from october 2011 [05:15] SVNDR: which release? [05:15] <|multipass|> is there a way to disable the panel on the top of the screen from capuring the current programs file, edit, etc-- and put i back on the actual application window? [05:16] iceroot and ActionParsnip: i installed 11.10 [05:16] SVNDR: then you have 3 months of updates to install, so yes. If you throw on a lot of apps it will increase the packages you need to update [05:16] Hi. [05:17] is there a better place to go for ubuntu audio questions? [05:18] bocbagock: this channel is ok [05:18] My first time using freenode for support. Not sure how and when to post question... don't wish to interrupt others... Where can I find a 'how to' so that I play nice? [05:18] mcgrete: ask away, if anyone can answer, they will [05:18] iceroot: so I just got some bluetooth headphones, set them up, disconnected and I can't get audio back through the speakers [05:18] I've restarted [05:18] mcgrete: just fell free to post your questions here, a good idea is to put the question in one line with usefull details, also put the name on front if you are talking to someone [05:19] bocbagock: have a look at "alsamixer" is something is muted [05:19] ActionParsnip: Wouldnt the updates download with the ISO or is that not how it works?.. new to Ubuntu by the way [05:19] iceroot: did that, nothing was muted [05:19] SVNDR: at the installation you can choose "download new software during installation process" [05:19] SVNDR: its an option during install but I'm not sure how far it updates [05:20] SVNDR: imo its disabled by default [05:20] mcgrete, when you reply just put their name at the start of your statement so the intended receiver will have it highlighted for him/her [05:20] Thanks! In short, I have two copies of 10.04LTS installed, both with separate root and home partitions. I use one to 'play' and learn installation of software, etc. I use the 2nd 'good' version to do it right when I figure it out. Now, I want to copy 'good' root and home to 'play' as I have messed up 'play'. What is the best way to do this without messing up MBR, UUID, etc? I am a bit... [05:20] yes its default disabled. I like to update myself after install [05:20] ...of a noob. Thanks! [05:20] mcgrete: could use rsync in a liveCD [05:21] iceroot: damn, wish i seen that one.. alright, well are there certain MAIN updates i should do, like protection and such, or should i just do them all and get it done with? [05:21] mcgrete: you are only interested in the personal data of the users? or also system-configs? [05:21] SVNDR: all [05:21] SVNDR: there is an option to install updates during install, but for me even if i select it, i have about 275 updates that need downloading [05:21] after install [05:21] For home, simple files. For root, I want all system configs. [05:22] geoffmcc: normally that should not happen [05:22] iceroot: alrite will do [05:22] mcgrete: all system-configs is hard [05:22] geoffmcc: ok, sounds odd lol.. guess Ubuntu likes to keep you updated though, cant be too bad [05:22] mcgrete: because the other system have system configs as well, so you have to merge/overwrite them [05:22] iceroot: it has only ever worked for me once, i had wondered about it. [05:22] I was afraid of that. Is it best to make a backup of 'play' when it is a fresh install, and then restore? [05:23] mcgrete: in liveCD you can rsync the files from one machine to the on you are booting the liveCD to [05:23] geoffmcc: i will put that on my bug-list and will do some testing about that, thank you for the info [05:24] ActionParsnip: i dont think its a good idea to ust copy /etc and so on to another system which maybe has different update-versions and different package-selections [05:24] iceroot: another thing too, maybe it normal. but sometimes when i boot usb to install, it somehow remembers my network info (as i use manual) and sometimes when i get to hostname it wont let me choose what i had before reinstall, it says its in use. never really knew what to report that against, if anything [05:24] iceroot: I guess [05:24] iceroot: but if the binaries are copied too it could work [05:24] iceroot/geoffmcc: I just started, so a new install is not a big deal at this point. Want to know for future reference. So, if there is no bug, would merge/overwrite be the way to go? I was going to use 'dd' command, and modify the fstab file (and others)? [05:25] Does Ubuntu have an option of downloading updates automatically? [05:25] Why does this not write to testfile? "tail -f file | grep search >> testfile", but this does: "tail -f file >> test" [05:25] ActionParsnip: then a complete dd should be better imo (or a complete backup) [05:25] SVNDR: yes but i would not use that [05:25] iceroot: anything else to try? [05:25] iceroot: yeah i'd go that way too [05:25] iceroot: what is 'imo'? [05:26] kanyl: (imo) because grep is not using stdout [05:26] does anyone know how I could get firefox to play mp4 videos? [05:26] mcgrete: in my opinion [05:26] iceroot: Any idea how I can make it work? :> [05:26] mcgrete, I allways cp messwithme.config messwithme.config.orig before I messwith... [05:26] iceroot: ok? just for further knowledge, where can i find the option? [05:27] kanyl: hm my grep is using stdout, so it should work [05:27] SVNDR: in the software-center [05:27] iceroot: thanks again [05:27] SVNDR: there is "ust inform", "download and inform" , "do nothing" and "automaticly install" [05:27] mcgrete, it's a lot easier to cat .config.orig > .config than mess with an editor [05:27] kanyl: maybe have a look at #bash [05:28] iceroot: okay [05:28] hey people, could anyone tell me how i go about opening the terminal in 11.10? [05:28] iceroot: alright mate cheers [05:28] im totally lost after the new desktop environment came along [05:28] ubuntugirl: press CTRL+ALT+T [05:28] also is there a way to switch back to the old view? [05:29] ubuntugirl: there is a hack way [05:29] !nounity | ubuntugirl [05:29] ubuntugirl: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [05:29] w30: being a noob, I am not sure which/where/howmany config files there are to modify. I am willing to learn (for long term solution), but short term it appears that fresh install and backup is better way to go until I am more knowledgable. [05:29] mcgrete: i think so too [05:29] ubuntugirl: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/ [05:29] * ubuntugirl hugs ActionParsnip [05:29] thanks [05:29] worked [05:29] ubuntugirl: works in all DEs [05:29] ActionParsnip: even lxde :) great [05:30] Hugs [05:30] iceroot: for complete dd, will that modify my UUID or mess up grub? Will I need to modify fstab or others? [05:30] iceroot: indeedy, although if you use terminal a lot I'd advise guake, tilda or yakuake [05:30] * ActionParsnip loves guake [05:30] mcgrete: dd will not mess anything, it will contain grub and the uuid will be the same [05:31] ActionParsnip: normally i have terminator in autostart but quake is nice too [05:31] mcgrete, no one ever did wrong by having backups; complete backups or just todays changes are both awfully handy to have.

Perhaps a different way of doing it... I will try 'dd' and a more conventional backup. Thanks ubottu for the links. [05:35] mcgrete: i like "having a virtual machine" for testing [05:36] iceroot: I will look into that as well. [05:36] mcgrete: i do a lot of testing and not always the system likes that, so i use the snapshot-function of virtualbox to have back a running system very fast [05:36] anyone know what this error at boot means and how to fix it: "Could not update ICEauthority file/home/test/.ICEauthority" [05:36] !vbox | mcgrete [05:36] mcgrete: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures.

[06:35] ActionParsnip, i think SVNDR issue, wouldnt be a bios issue, because like he said that windows was working fine whit no extreme heat, so the issu might be with ubuntu itself [06:36] atvr: maybe the linux kernel needs the update === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [06:37] ActionParsnip, maybe i am new to ubuntu/linux, i was just saying that, it make sens to me that its not a bios issue [06:37] ActionParsnip: would you say Ubutnu relies more on graphic performance, or windows vista?

[06:47] urgodfather: not sure what you mean, but both are recognized and I have gotten both cards to work individually, by commenting out screens in my xorg.conf. Basically, on their own, they work, but when all 3 screens (2 from gtx 260, 1 from 6200) are in my xorg.conf, X won't start [06:47] ActionParsnip: you probably dont, but do you know what the difference between temp1 and temp2 are?

And supposedly all the KDE libraries/dependencies were loaded when i installed korg, but you never know? [06:50] atvr: yeah, ><>...

[06:52] firstlast: correct [06:52] thanks [06:53] urgodfather: actually, wait, it turns out all 3 are separate X screens...I wanted xinerama to stretch/drag windows from one to another *sigh* [06:53] want to know that is there any irc for C/C++ programming language? [06:54] firstlast: i was just about to ask if you hade xinerama enabled or not [06:54] urgodfather: at the moment, seems to be not enabled [06:55] sandy19: try #c++ [06:55] is it possible to replace one color value to another color value in X server GLobally? firstlast [06:55] join #c++ [06:55] firstlast: you want that on [06:55] sandy19: with a / at the start, all irc commands begin with / [06:56] ok action [06:56] sandy19: nice manners you got too :( [06:57] <[an]droid|kindle> ActionParsnip: don't take it personally [06:57] urgodfather: trying it now, just rebooting, my xfce crashed when I tried to log out [06:57] [an]droid|kindle: its just really sad [06:57] [an]droid|kindle: in a pathetic way, not upset way [06:58] ActionParsnip i don't know how to do this? i mean not able bring your name in red color [06:58] firstlast: did you ctrl + alt + x?

[07:02] ActionParsnip: alot of what my searches are finding talk about downgrading or upgrading the kernel.. what do you rekon? [07:02] SVNDR: could try the precise live cd to test that [07:03] urgodfather: do i just turn xinerama on with all the other options on, since i have 3 screens now? [07:03] almoxarife, memory creep, run top and see what is using it, Firefox I bet? [07:03] i know about sudo -i, I want to add my user so that it wont require sudo anymore [07:04] Planet_EN, your trying to disable the security you have with Linux. If you don't want it, just run Windows. [07:04] firstlast: you want xinerama enabled [07:05] n2diy: I don't use firefox, and its not creep, I should have been more specific, its at login/reboot [07:05] ok [07:05] firstlast: afterwards you might want to write a script for startup [07:05] Planet_EN: then you will remove any security from your OS [07:05] firstlast:http://sernaonubuntu.wikidot.com/multiple-monitors [07:06] almoxarife, ok, that's weird, has something changed, like new hardware?

[07:19] firstlast: thats a good start [07:19] almoxarife: nope, i just want my display to show another color which i defined to replace its original color [07:19] !gimp [07:19] gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu.

[07:37] ugh the guide server is down at the university of latvia anybody know the admins? [07:37] shawn_, I think there are compat libs available for libssl [07:37] what it is.. [07:37] apt-get install libssl0.9.8 didn't work (wrong arch) [07:38] Mechdave, this is a binary i downloaded needs [07:38] not a package [07:38] xcoy, do you have a support question about ubuntu? === Hsbc is now known as HacKer === HacKer is now known as HacKers [07:39] HacKers, please don't nickspam us :( [07:39] shawn_, libssl can be downloaded as a deb and installed with apt-get. Give me a minute and I shall see if I can find a compat for you [07:39] shawn_, libssl is a shared library [07:39] UbuntuIrcCouncil [07:40] Mechdave, i know how to do that, from packages.ubuntu.com --- but i thought there was a new elegent multiarch way [07:40] considering that ubuntu now supports multiarch [07:40] I got an error what i can do ??? Could not launch the terminal client: [07:40] KDEInit could not launch 'konsole'.: [07:40] Could not find 'konsole' executable [07:40] shawn_, not sure [07:41] harsh343: you do a whereis konsole?

[07:42] harsh343: provide the output i asked for (e.g. use tty1 with ctrl + alt + f1) [07:44] Mechdave, eek "(Multi-Arch: no)", still got it work, as that is an obsolete library, but still..... [07:44] harsh343: important on the dpkg line is if it is starting with "ii" [07:44] konsole resides in /usr/bin/konsole it would help if it was there [07:45] i am just wondering, if its possible to be hacked in irc :S [07:45] atvr: yes it is very possible [07:45] puff, how can i prevent that [07:46] puff, konsole is not fount in /usr/bin [07:46] shawn_, I suppose you could look at the ssl home page --> http://www.openssl.org/ [07:46] atvr: normally not, the common clients from ubuntu are safe [07:46] found* [07:46] atvr: don't irc as root don't connect to anybody so they get your ip and you should be fine [07:46] atvr: keep your software up to date, close services you don't need, etc. [07:46] and what robbie said [07:46] atvr: just dont use the irc-client as root and always have the latest security-updates [07:47] iceroot, what i can do i want to use terminal under Dolphin [07:47] harsh343: thats the problem then [07:47] harsh343: provide the output of dpkg -l | grep konsole [07:47] no konsole installed [07:47] okay thanks you all :) feeling better now [07:47] Mechdave, i just removed the amd64 version i installed for no reason, and the program now works, but not supporting multilib for such an important lib seems a bit off [07:47] atvr, make sure you only irc as a non privileged user and use a client and not a terminal === sti11e_ is now known as sti11e [07:48] iceroot, no output [07:48] harsh343: sudo apt-get install konsole [07:48] whereis knosle should return /usr/bin/konsole [07:48] harsh343: ah and the command was "dpkg -l konsole" [07:49] harsh343: but no output means its not installed, so use "sudo apt-get install konsole" [07:49] although I dun know why you would want to use it terminal is really nice [07:49] puff_: isnt "konsole" the default kde-terminal? [07:49] iceroot: it is [07:50] iceroot, yes thanks now i am able to do that [07:50] shawn_, Yes I agree... Maybe it isn't as easy to provide a multi arch deb for ssl [07:50] Thanks puff [07:50] np [07:50] harsh343: great [07:50] wondering why konsole is not installed by default on his system [07:50] Why do Ubuntu CDs come in 5s only?

[08:19] so I can use it on other machines [08:19] robbbie: im dual-booting my original winsows machine with vista... i hvent tried looking at the problem on there just plain because my comps practically cold when running windows [08:19] later on I will make a custom installer [08:20] i already rfkill unblock all 'd and when i do the modprob i dont seem to have a connection [08:20] I find the generic install to be pretty trouble free [08:20] thomas^: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [08:20] llutz_: I tried that, but it still gives a 403 forbidden. [08:20] jragon: all the stuff under /var/www/.... has to be readable. so best is "chown -R $USER:www-data /var/www" with permission 755/644. only few things should be writable by a webserver, those you have to chmod g+w [08:21] i have def never done that one sec please [08:21] oneiric [08:21] Okay [08:21] is that just the ubuntu version im on [08:21] youhouuuuuu [08:21] sudo then chown user file -r does not work on chown [08:21] puff, how to set terminal on bottom side on dolphin ? [08:21] thomedy: yes thats the codename [08:21] thomedy: try: sudo rfkill unblock all [08:21] deal [08:22] So: chown -R jragon:www-data /var/www chmod -R g+w /var/www/ci [08:22] i can easily do that but i just rfkill list all [08:22] and they all said hard block/ softblock no [08:22] harsh343: in console? [08:22] jragon: NO, only those files/dirs the webserver really needs to write to, should be writable [08:22] I dunno I use unity desktop on X.org not using console [08:23] I can drag mine [08:23] thomedy: is the system fully updated? [08:23] puff, like i want to put my terminal with dophin in the bottom [08:23] but there is windowing attributes [08:23] check the positioning flags [08:23] sudo apt-get update ? [08:23] means attach terminal with doplhin [08:23] thomedy: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [08:24] ciao [08:24] !list [08:24] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[08:24] localhost/ci [08:24] I don't see it for konsole [08:24] Yes [08:24] yeah i wasn't thinking [08:24] thomedy: also try: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up === SVNDR is now known as svndr [08:24] yes, but is _ci_ a file or a folder? [08:25] KOI DONC [08:25] Yes it is [08:25] thomedy: I suggest you get a wired connection and get fully updated [08:25] ... [08:25] puff, like this video using http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pX9BHhdOCE&feature=plcp&context=C351648fUDOEgsToPDskISRJEpHkGzlaxTbCCB1WNM [08:25] Humbedooh: /var/www/ci [08:25] is it a folder? [08:25] folder [08:25] then you should set up directory listing, no? [08:25] thomedy: http://www.geekmind.net/2011/01/linux-wifi-operation-not-possible-due.html [08:25] nope --help does not show positioning [08:26] Humbedooh: it's got an index.php file though [08:26] just transparency tabs etc [08:26] Hello [08:26] can you access /ci/index.php then? [08:26] Nope, I get a 403 [08:26] if you did the chmod as llutz said, then I suspect the server is looking in the wrong folder :> [08:27] #toulibre [08:27] O.o [08:27] What do you mean? [08:27] maybe you set up the web server wrong :) [08:27] jragon: check DocRoot in your webserver/-host config [08:27] I have a problem with the setup of two monitors. I get them both running in their own resolution extended. But the problem is first to change "main" monitor and also change the position of them ( i want the new screen to be on the left instead of the right as it is now) [08:27] * Humbedooh defers to llutz [08:28] puff, any idea ? [08:28] thank you very much but i already took care of my rfkill situation... its hardblock/softblock no [08:28] harsh343: you using console due to performance issues? [08:28] on hp wifi and phy- [08:28] 0 [08:29] sort of defeats the idea behind a desktop install [08:29] maybe try a different terminal emulator [08:30] does someone know what to do? [08:30] one with sizing and positioning args [08:30] or just run the regular desktop like unity [08:30] I find it smooth and not cumbersome at all [08:31] do you think if i update/upgrade then this will go away [08:31] jojo [08:31] which ill have to do later but [08:31] puff, what is console i donot know, I am using so many terminals [08:31] Guake terminal also [08:31] rofl console is what ya get before loading a windowing system [08:31] ça va ti juanito ? [08:32] which manages all your terminals [08:32] maybe he is using something so much he forgot what it was [08:32] bonne année mec [08:32] how are you juanito ?

[08:34] #join toulibre [08:35] so is this a bug [08:36] puff_: more likely: dolphin - file manager for KDE 4 [08:36] brb gotta check the iso [08:36] * Humbedooh snickers [08:37] does it matter that i chose the 32 bit install instead of the 64 when i pushed it to 1010 cuz i thought it was 32 [08:37] it matters to some, but not to others :) [08:38] and now relized when i hit lshw it says width 64 in lshw -c [08:39] thomas^: doesn't really matter [08:39] if you resize a partition that was full to a smaller size. what would happen to the data is outside the partition size? I believe that the data that runs out of the bound of the new partition would under normal circumstances be non accessible any longer? [08:39] i didn't think so [08:39] but i wasn't sure [08:40] well im out of ideas again === svndr is now known as SVNDR [08:41] thomedy, are all the network services running as they should? [08:41] puff, right now i am using Dolphin and want to add the terminal with dolphin [08:41] long time room... whats new? [08:41] when i first jumped on to work on this i ran sudo services network-manager start [08:41] Dolphin also provide terminal what i am using right now [08:41] do you think that should do it networking isn't my strength but im learning fast [08:41] what about networking? [08:42] service networking start [08:42] i didn't know taht one let me do that one sec please [08:42] I had a corrupt networking service a few days back after an upgrade [08:43] hi. i have a ubuntu installation that i did not set up myself it is managed via a puppet daemon which i want to stop but i do not know how. In the file /var/log/deamon.log I can see that puppet is started regularly but i don't know what actually starts it. Can you help me? I just want to turn puppet off. [08:43] Does someone know how to change main monitor when you are using two? [08:43] when i run that it says networking stop/waiting [08:43] that seems backwords [08:43] so i get all the panels and docky on the right screen [08:43] ye you got the same problem then [08:43] I checked if it is a cron job but i could not find any. What other places does ubuntu have that regularly starts processes? [08:43] hey [08:44] the config file is probably corrupted like mine was [08:44] freakin awesome.... progress... [08:44] please direct me ... "your humble student" [08:44] MJ23: diplays does that [08:44] where is this config file [08:44] uhm...if I can remember :p [08:44] robbbie: i may have found a solution on http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/linux-kernel-power-issue-fix.html - but i am also running ubuntu in 2D mode at the moment [08:44] puff_ is that a program? [08:45] !displays |MJ23 [08:45] stoopit bawt [08:45] oh god i hope this works... i build web and i need to get networking better but i haven't had to and when ever i do do it i do it so rarely that i invariably forget what i was doing [08:45] or how to do it [08:45] MJ23: yes it is [08:46] MJ23: hit dash home and type in disp in the search [08:46] or hit the cog in the taskbar and choose displays [08:46] thomedy, is there a service option to force reload or something? [08:47] thomedy: I know that feeling [08:47] in order for me to find that out is man service the way to go [08:48] just got apache2 going again and having to find out how to edit my site it's annoying with read only web pages [08:48] SVNDR: man i apologize i got distracted looking at conky themes :P [08:48] man service didn't get me anywhere and im trying to figure out how to know the answer rigt now.... tabbbing isn't really getting me anwhere either [08:49] robbbie: haha not a prob man, beleive me, ive been looking all day to no avail.. i dont exspect you to do that ;p [08:49] Came back from hols and my wee sidebar has vanished (unity), any ideas? [08:50] it doesnt look like i have that option === zero is now known as Guest19524 [08:50] robbbie: was more hoping someone would go 'heres your problem, do this' and bam it would be fixed, but thats never the case lol [08:50] okay im going to go with you for the time being and say its that because when i hit service stop it says unknown instance [08:50] thomedy, I'm sorry but I can't recall how I solved it, only that somehow one of the networking config files were missing or corrupted [08:50] so that doesn't seem reasonable either [08:51] Hi, guys. Where can I find the grub on my laptop? Who knows the location of grub? [08:51] well its a direction Humbedoo and thank you even if it isn't the right direction its something and im working with it [08:51] I think it might have been something to do with ipv4 redirect directives not being set... === Guest19524 is now known as zerofly [08:52] where could I get fluxkeys source code ? [08:52] dmesg might provide an answer if you try to stop and start the service [08:53] even stranger then the response to service start is dmesg says nothing at all [08:53] i still have try 1, 2, 3 and then time out from before and thats it [08:54] well at least you have a concrete problem that someone will hopefully know the answer to :) === greentux is now known as greentux|xutneer [08:55] sweet ill take it [08:55] thanks again [08:56] try /etc/init.d/networking restart instead of the service command [08:56] There are 2 os(one is windows, the other is ubuntu) on my laptop now. I wanna re-install the ubuntu by hard disk install. Can you give me some advice or suggestion?

[09:05] The current os on my laptop are windows and ubuntu. how can I install new linux os via hard disk install? [09:05] Can you give me some advice or suggestion?

[09:18] almoxarife, http://freeipa.org [09:18] Why are there so many redundant kernel packages (linux, linux-image, linux-generic) that do nothing except being dependent on linux-image-generic? [09:18] is there something like mac "spotlight" for ubuntu? [09:19] ranjan: I am the guy that is willing to say no to both, seen LDAP, don't know what its purpose is [09:19] Hello all [09:20] almoxarife, no problem, you will need those things terribly when entering to manage centralized user accounts and authentications [09:21] Ill try to intsall ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64 .

Or is the button greyed out on all programs? [09:24] Nuukia: you should use the Hardware Drivers to get ATI drivers, not just downloading a package and installing it [09:24] imgx64, yes all programs [09:24] guys any one out there pls help with some booting issues [09:24] robbbie, even after that its a little pain to manage things, and in that case i dare to think about managing using command line [09:24] robbbie, and we have to manage around 300 Users :) [09:25] ranjan: sounds like fun :P [09:25] rajasekhar, post your doubt dont ask to ask [09:25] imgx64, you have any idea?

[09:25] Nuukia: sudo apt-install ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64 ........... should be 'sudo apt-get install xxxxxxxyyyyyyxzzz [09:26] imgx64, no no error and i can install packages with apt-get install [09:27] my prob is that i have 2 oses on two hdd's one hdd is having winxp and other having ubuntu 11.10 but i cant boot into winxp [09:28] hey guys! i need to create a xorg.conf, but Xorg -configure says "Number of created Screens does not match number of detected devices.

[09:30] ripthejacker: try running software center with sudo? (it works for me without sudo, just a shot in the dark) [09:30] rajasekhar: when ubuntu loads grub, you don't see an option for the xp os? [09:30] ripthejacker: Other than that, I have no idea. [09:30] yes i can see an option for winxp [09:30] rajasekhar: then use it?

[09:49] drupol: bashrc then lol [09:50] theadmin: I just found it [09:50] theadmin: /etc/default/keyboard. [09:50] Problem solved :-) [09:52] drupol: Or that, yeah :D [09:53] ben64 ill trying to install ati from hardware i don,t what u mean whit hardware . i am useing a long time ubuntu . ill try ti install ati driver whit synaptic but i get a new error Starting without administrative privileges ) i am admin whats the problem [09:53] drupol: I'm not familiar with those Ubuntu files, lol, in Arch I'd just set KEYMAP="ru" in rc.conf or something similar.

That's interesting. [09:54] theadmin: I'm a gentoo guy, It's the first time I use that crap... [09:55] nagi, i dont know if it has been done [09:55] drupol: Yeah, well, Ubuntu does things strangely and is heavily X-dependent [09:56] theadmin: even changing those files doesn't change the keyboard... [09:56] atvr: Getting the phone app working would be tricky I should imaginge. And I guess youd need to re-program the flash with JTAG hardware. [09:56] I think I'll switch to another distro. [09:56] nagi, do you think it will be like a jailbreak ?? [09:56] drupol: ubuntu asks during install which keyboard layout to use [09:57] Ben64: Console-based, not GUI. [09:57] and you can change it in Preferences -> Keyboard [09:57] Ben64: *ahem*. [09:57] Ben64: I don't use X. [09:57] ever? [09:57] Ever. [09:57] why not? its nice [09:57] I just need that machine to have Jenkins, Apache and Git server. [09:57] So, no need of X. [09:58] I don't have a so powerful computer so, the less I use in Virtualbox, it's better. [09:58] drupol - just use the server verison then ... [09:58] drupol: Mind pm'ing me? I want to ask some questions [09:58] atvr: I think the very first install would be more like what happens in the factory when they load software on the phone. [09:58] RaTTuS|BIG: And that IS what (s)he's doing [09:58] drupol: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf ?? [09:58] atvr: But I'm no expert :) [09:59] let me check.

What do I do ? === z3bra is now known as z3bra|idle [10:26] marel_ - how much free space do you have on windows partition [10:27] a lot, over 300GB [10:27] marel, have you tried Ubuntu using the live disk, it allows you to boot using the CD/DVD or USb Key [10:27] Yeah I've tried it.. [10:28] marel_ and that still does not want to offer to install alongside>? [10:28] nop [10:28] it could be that your windows paration is heavy franmentated [10:28] And, did Ubuntu run on your boot up ok?: [10:29] I was going to say that he may be partitioned completely for windoze [10:29] Well I have only one partition on my computer [10:30] you could manually partition [10:30] hi all [10:30] how could I set the default login manager ?

[10:31] RaTTuS|BIG: :) Thanks [10:32] okk [10:32] Ben64, I want to install ubuntu alongside windows 7 and this option does not exist for me and I believe partitioning comes after that.. [10:32] marel_: there should be an option to partition manually at that area [10:32] alright [10:34] I do not use windows in any shape or flavor, I quit them with Vista.... and am doing my best to learn Linux and forget windoze [10:34] Why does iptables reject a DNS request from the local net when the FORWARD/OUTBOUND chain contains "ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere"?

[11:01] mosdef100200: this is not the place to ask [11:02] almoxarife, I know the name in xubuntu. [11:02] i know mate but everwhere else is either dead or i cant post my question [11:02] Kurdistan: ok, [11:02] im so close [11:02] mosdef100200, lol [11:02] I just upgraded from 10.04 to 11.10 and Unity runs like trash [11:03] Why did they replace Gnome with this Unity garbage [11:03] its tailored for netbooks yet it runs like shit on Netbooks [11:03] counter productive right thar [11:03] Filesystem0: and the question? [11:04] Why did they make it such a bloated bitch to handle [11:04] Filesystem0, yes unity not mean meant for small screens [11:04] *meant [11:04] Yes it is, it started it out their seperate netbook edition [11:04] Filesystem0: maybe you´ll want to try one of the other flavors... Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu.... [11:04] Filesystem0: watch the language [11:04] you watch your language [11:04] !ot [11:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [11:05] I think I will go with OpenSUSE, the superior distrobution. [11:05] !mandriva [11:05] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) === oyvind is now known as Guest98678 [11:06] Hi guys, I'm having trouble configuring virtual hosts on one IP with ubuntu 10.10 and apache2, im using webmin but the virtual hosts I add doesnt seem to work at all, any ideas on what i might be doing wrong? === Guest98678 is now known as padlefot1 [11:06] padlefot1: webmin won't work with ubuntu [11:06] ikonia: thanx, any alternatives ? [11:06] padlefot1: ubuntu lays the config files out different to how webmin likes to work, that's why it's not supported [11:07] ikonia: maybe i should configure apache in cli then [11:07] or switch to Arch [11:07] Linux ? [11:07] Filesystem0: don't be silly please. [11:08] thats a bit drastic on a production server [11:08] i am happy with ubuntu since its debian based [11:08] I'm sure I can configure it cli [11:08] thanx ikonia [11:08] I guess, I like Debian's package management and Ubuntu has alot of community support. [11:08] Filesystem0: right on [11:08] !rpm [11:08] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [11:08] padlefot1: ignoring him (of course you can switch distros if you find one that better fits for you) I would look at removing webmin (problems all the way) and just configure apache in the consoles [11:09] padlefot1: from there on, it should require little administration going forward, eg: logs are setup to rotate already [11:09] ikonia: i noticed, it also compresses [11:10] the logrotate process does, sure [11:10] is there a way to set up gadgets on ubuntu 3.0.0-14-generic-pae such as with gnome had on the top bar of the screen [11:10] Should I remove webmin by rm -rf or is there some kind of other process ? [11:10] padlefot1: how did you install it ? [11:10] ikonia: I used the setup.sh script [11:10] sudo rm -rf / [11:10] best solution [11:11] padlefot1: don't do that [11:11] filesystem0: From what I see, you are having some trouble with the unity. Before you go and do a re-install of the os, why dont you try this: ccsm > opengl> vsync off [11:11] it's very dangerous [11:11] Filesystem0: will be leaving now [11:11] that will really help speed things up a bit. [11:12] software center does not detect my internet connection please help [11:12] it says im offline [11:12] ripthejacker: yet here you are [11:12] almoxarife, yes! [11:12] ripthejacker: does anything else (eg; firefox) think you are offline ? [11:13] ikonia, network manager [11:13] ripthejacker: then you are offline [11:13] ikonia, :P [11:13] ikonia, so how do i tell it im online [11:13] ripthejacker: use network manager to configure your network and get your self connected [11:14] ikonia, couldnt setup a pppoe connection using network manager so i used rp-pppoe [11:14] what does the step Retrieveing file num1/num2,does in installation step in ubuntu ?? [11:15] what if i close network manager? [11:15] ripthejacker: I suspect it's not working and you're not actually connected/online (unless you are talking to me from that machine now) [11:15] kag_anil: most likely that it downloads updated packages via the web - in case you have a connection already [11:15] ikonia, i am talking from that machine now [11:15] ripthejacker: interesting, if you open the browser, does firefox work ? [11:16] ikonia, i can install using apt-get install [11:16] kag_anil: the packages you wanted installed are being downloaded by the app you used to issue the command [11:16] ikonia, yes firefox and everything web works [11:16] ripthejacker: interesting, software manager shouldn't care then [11:16] I wanted to have an app on the top bar of the screen that shows the cpu load, is there a way to do that with ubuntu 3.0.0-14 [11:16] ripthejacker: it should just work fine as you have an interenet connection [11:16] fidel: i.e. it will increase the installation time... [11:16] ikonia, but its buggin me it says im offline and software center says im not connected to internet [11:16] kag_anil: yes - but decreases the update-time afterwards [11:17] ikonia, some kinda weird bug [11:17] loganirc: yes, i have one on my screen [11:17] ? [11:17] ripthejacker: that really shouldn't be happening, if you have interenet connection, it should work. [11:17] so - dont thing about time at that point [11:17] loganirc: system load indicator [11:17] it has to be updated anyways at some point [11:17] fidel: i was installing it on virtualBox... [11:17] popey, how do you enable that [11:17] and? [11:17] ikonia, is there anything i can pastebin so u can help? please [11:17] loganirc: https://launchpad.net/indicator-multiload [11:17] still then you want up-to-date packages in most cases or am i wrong? [11:18] loganirc: add the ppa and install it [11:18] ripthejacker: I'm just thinking in my head of why it would be suggesting you are offline [11:18] fidel: you are right, bt i have ubuntu 11.04 on my along side windows and i am doing some testing stuff in vbox... thats it... [11:19] kag_anil: well - next time configure the vm-network-connectivity after the installation [11:19] ikonia, one reason maybe because i dint use network manager to dial the connection [11:19] like that the install-process cant access the network - skips that part [11:19] ripthejacker: I can see how that's a reasonable guess to make, but it really shouldn't matter [11:19] ikonia: what network-manager does not manage does not exist to it? [11:19] fidel: yups, will do that from next time..., thnx for help... [11:19] almoxarife: that shouldn't matter to other applications though [11:20] Hi, I'm having problems with audio over hdmi in ubuntu 11.04, when the screensaver goes tosleep the audio stops, could this be fixed, i.e keeping audio over hdmi while the screen goes to sleep? [11:20] kag_anil: np [11:20] almoxarife: eg: software center should just do a http get on the url - if it responds, there is internet connection, if not, no [11:20] ikonia: si, unless they look to network-manager [11:20] almoxarife: it really shouldn't [11:20] ikonia: many apps rely on the network manager state to know if they're online or not [11:20] almoxarife, and i suppose thats what is happening [11:21] popey, trying to find the add ppa option from the software center [11:21] ikonia: firefox and evolution to name but two [11:21] popey: but software center...... [11:21] popey: that can't the case, as firefox is working fine [11:21] guys I just noticed there is a hugr difference in upgrading to 11.10 and using the install disk [11:21] ikonia: you can override it at the app level, so yes it can [11:21] (according to ripthejacker ) [11:21] popey: how do you override it within software center ? [11:21] I mush prefer the clean install [11:21] ripthejacker: install synaptic, software center is bloated [11:22] ikonia: dunno, just testing [11:22] ripthejacker: well there is a big chunk of the answer as popey has said. [11:23] ikonia: yup, if you have network manager offline, USC shows 'No network connection' [11:23] ikonia, USC has so less option and there definitely nothing there related to internet connection [11:23] ikonia: as soon as you go online, the reviews appear and 'install' becomes available [11:23] ikonia, installing synaptics :P [11:23] ikonia: file a bug ☺ [11:24] ripthejacker: 'synaptic' [11:24] almoxarife, yeah synaptic [11:24] ripthejacker: there you go, as popey a bug is worth while on this [11:24] "as popey said" [11:25] * popey files one [11:25] thank you popey [11:25] ikonia, there is just one entry in route table [11:25] does it matter? [11:26] ripthejacker: really shouldn't matter, default gateway is all that is normally there [11:26] no eth0 and no lo [11:26] ikonia, ok [11:26] ripthejacker: lo is the loop back so shouldn't have a route [11:26] thanks ikonia and popey [11:26] ripthejacker: eth0 - are you using eth0 ? [11:26] Is there anyway i can use the default terminal to connect to another server? [11:26] ikonia, yes [11:27] ripthejacker: ok, so there should be a default route for eth0 to use [11:27] <_ikke_> SVNDR: SSH === lolwut is now known as KindOne [11:27] default route is ppp0 [11:27] ripthejacker: that's fine [11:27] _ikke_: cheers [11:28] _ikke_: wait, how do i do that? will i need to install a package? [11:29] <_ikke_> afaik, not [11:29] SVN for Linux ? [11:29] c_nick1: what about it ? [11:29] used to tortoise on windows.. is there an equivalent on Linux Ubuntu [11:29] c_nick1: yea, linux [11:29] ikonia / ripthejacker bug 911706 [11:29] Launchpad bug 911706 in software-center (Ubuntu) "USC relies on NM to be online, can't force online if not using NM" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/911706 [11:29] c_nick1: if you search for svn in the package manager, you'll find a few options [11:29] popey: thanks on both reponses. === ainely is now known as unRar [11:30] np [11:31] SVNDR: It's already installed. [11:31] popey, thanks for the help [11:31] rypervenche: everytime i try it keeps telling me that it cannot resolve, although i know im entering the correct details [11:31] SVNDR: ssh username@IPaddress [11:32] SVNDR: Are you doing it over the Internet or through your local network? [11:32] rypervenche: oh ok, so i cant use the hostname? just the IP? [11:32] SVNDR: You can use the hostname. Have you forwarded port 22 to the machine you're trying to connect to? [11:33] popey, so thats means there is another bug [11:33] thats network manager too cant detect my internet connection [11:33] and synaptic works fine :) [11:33] rypervenche: the server im trying to connect to blocks port 22 so i use a different once.. on the machine im trying to ssh with i dont know if i have setup port forwarding, no [11:34] SVNDR: Which port are you using? [11:34] rypervenche: 15999, also its not local [11:34] SVNDR: You will need to forward port 15999 to the machine you're trying to access. [11:35] rypervenche: and how might i do that? lol [11:35] SVNDR: You must go into your router config, probably 192.168.1.1 in a browser from the computer you want to SSH into. [11:36] rypervenche: i dont use a router, i use tethered internet from my mobile.. lol [11:37] how can i get it my ubuntu machine in remote [11:37] SVNDR: For that you would probably need to reverse SSH, but you'll need a middleman as far as I know, which it doesn't sound like you have. [11:38] rypervenche: definately not, no [11:38] rypervenche: costly? or free? [11:38] 11.10 + xfce: after opening home-folder desktop changes to blue and looses icons and i cannot change background image then. what is this? [11:39] It would be a computer that you SSH into, that has its ports forwarded [11:40] 11.10 + xfce: after opening home-folder desktop changes to blue and looses icons and i cannot change background image then. what is this? [11:40] rypervenche: oh yea, nah wouldnt be able to i dont think.. i just tried SSH again, this time it didnt come up with unreselved, it just stalled and done nothing [11:41] SVNDR: So the computer you're trying to access is using tethered Internet? [11:42] rypervenche: my computer im using right now is using tethered, the one im trying to access is a server in whoop whoop lol [11:42] in whoop whoop? [11:42] yes, far away land.. lol im in Aus, its in USA somewhere === Rei`ZzZz is now known as Reikoku [11:44] SVNDR: You're going to have to have someone do it for you then. [11:44] popey, you still there? got the system load indicator installed, but how do I get it to show up on the upper bar of the screen, do I need to configure it as a starup app, launch it manually log in or log oout or something else? [11:45] popey, I launched it manually, but should be automatic [11:45] rypervenche: alright no probs, in the mean time ill use putty with wine [11:46] rypervenche: thanks [11:47] just installed system load monitor? how do I configure that to start up automatically on login, do I need tto configure it manually with the startup apps? [11:47] 11.10 + xfce: after opening home-folder desktop changes to blue and looses icons and i cannot change background image then. what is this?

[11:49] I have noticed a lot less problems on a clean install after using the updaye manager [11:49] *update [11:49] rypervenche: ive been using putty all arvo, its working fine lol [11:49] and there were some new changes that I didn't get on the upgrade [11:49] anybody know how to configure apps to start up on login? [11:50] is there a system settings option for this? [11:50] loganirc: you see the little cog icon in the top bar? [11:50] rypervenche: im using putty to connect directly to the server though [11:50] SVNDR: You've been using putty to SSH into the computer? [11:50] SVNDR: Then the port is forwarded [11:50] there is a listing for startup applications there [11:50] just add it [11:51] rypervenche: oh right.. so why wont it work with terminal? [11:51] Hello folks. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 witha dual-monitor setup. Is there any way of switching workspaces on monitors sepparately? [11:51] SVNDR: It should, are you typing the same command? [11:51] SVNDR: Show me the command you're using [11:51] after updates I have to reboot brb :D [11:52] puff, yes thanks [11:54] Hello, I have a problem with the networking on my machine. It seems it takes an ice age to resolve web pages, pinging the server isn't too slow and a Windows VM on the same machine, same network adapter is working fine. Any thoughts? [11:54] are you on a wireless ? === nicolas_ is now known as nipolar [11:54] acid-melt-system, nope, ethernet all the way to the router [11:55] rypervenche: i noticed the command im using to you [11:55] hmm [11:55] is your host ubuntu ? [11:55] it is indeed [11:56] here is a traceroute should it help: http://pastebin.com/Kf0KDCBj [11:56] and you're saying ur network is slow [11:56] hi [11:56] what kind of network card u got ? [11:56] the internal network is fine, i can access the NAS without issue [11:56] but to the internet it's terrible [11:56] Hey hey hey [11:56] but only from the host, the Windows guest is perfect. [11:57] could be a driver issue ? [11:57] with ur network card and ubuntu ? ? [11:57] hola?? [11:57] it was working fine up until about an hour ago [11:57] (working fine for about 2 years) [11:57] i have a realtek card its a internal build in on my asustek board [11:58] and it works fine to me [11:58] Just a quick permissions question, i recently had to install after a failed update (AGAIN) and i backed up all my stuff now when i reclaim the permissions using sudo nautilis and change it and then apply it to all recurring directories as soon as i reboot the permissions change back [11:58] what version of ubuntu u have ? [11:58] 11.10 [11:59] did u had any recent updates ? [11:59] SVNDR: When you use Putty do you use a different port other than 22? [11:59] acid-melt-system, nope [11:59] because i've been having alot issues with ubuntu lately but i somehow corrected them [11:59] maybe someone is lagging ur network [11:59] u piss off anyone LOL [12:00] acid-melt-system, nope, because it's working fine from the 20+ other machines we have [12:00] did u try rebooting ? [12:00] rypervenche: yea, im using the same port i told you before [12:00] i never had any problems with my network card when it came to LAN [12:00] but with USB wifi adapters are a pain in the ass === unRar is now known as MEGA- [12:01] acid-melt-system, depends where you get them from and what the chip is [12:01] and mounting USB and NTFS format was an issue before , but now i corrected them [12:01] a very cool tool u people should all use is Remastersys [12:01] TheHackOps: "sudo nautilus" isn't ever gonna work, you need "gksu nautilus" OR just use good old chown and chmod [12:01] SVNDR: Sorry, that's a bit ambiguous. You're using 22 or not 22? [12:02] this tool can like clone ur desktop and the apps [12:02] and it makes a live iso image [12:02] theadmin, i tried that aswell [12:02] ohh root gksu [12:02] kk [12:02] cheer [12:02] like i said [12:02] cheers* [12:02] Remastersys ur desktop when its stable and the way u like it [12:03] and burn the iso on a disc or put it on a usb [12:03] keep it in a safe place [12:03] if any problems [12:03] just pop that in [12:03] and guess what [12:03] u have ur system reinstalled [12:03] with all ur settings [12:03] SVNDR: I just PMed you the proper command to use. You need to specify the port you want to use. [12:03] apps [12:03] acid-melt-system: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:03] etc. . . [12:03] hahaha [12:04] oops [12:04] how do i find out what sound server xine is using for delivering audio to my speakers [12:04] lpci ? [12:05] brb [12:05] terminal is ur best friend in linux [12:05] remember [12:05] that . . .. [12:05] rypervenche: legend mate, works a treat.. will i have to do it that way everytime? or just a one off? [12:05] theadmin, This aint working i need to give 777 on everything under a certain directory [12:05] no lpci command... [12:05] TheHackOps: sudo chmod -R 777 your_directory [12:05] that includes sub sub sub directorys and files [12:05] acid-melt-system: did you see the message from the bot regarding punctuation? ;) [12:05] oops [12:06] Kronen, lspci [12:06] lspci [12:06] my bad [12:06] typo thank you dabukalam [12:06] !enter | acid-melt-system [12:06] acid-melt-system: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[12:09] SVNDR: sent alias to PM [12:09] Kronen, acid-melt-system, lspci shows the device that the system has for sound, but not the driver being used for it. [12:09] dr_willis, Nope ext4 [12:09] KrisDouglas: only relevant-seeming line might be "audio.device.alsa_front_device:default" [12:09] cool i just made my own distro :P [12:09] rypervenche: your the man!! cheers heaps for that hey [12:09] i need to test this out dude this is neat o [12:10] TheHackOps: Ok. :) I just see people in here every week trying to chmod files on ntfs.. No idea why it wouldent work on a ext4. Unless the fs is read only. [12:10] Please! any ideas with trying to compile with gcc "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 " [12:10] Kronen, which would lead me to believe that xine is using ALSA [12:10] dr_willis, I hate bothering you guys for help since i normally help others but im pretty desperate [12:10] also remember me? [12:11] TheHackOps: check dmesg output? what sort of error does it give when you chmod a file? [12:11] aa [12:11] dr_willis, Well my files seem readable now this is wierd... [12:12] what is the difference between dmesg and /var/log/messages?\ [12:12] what is the difference between dmesg and /var/log/messages? [12:12] Cheers guys now who can i helps [12:12] TheHackOps: :) dare we ask why you are using 777 ? ;) [12:12] KrisDouglas: thanks [12:12] Yeah ffs 777 is evil [12:12] dr_willis, Coz im the only one who uses this laptop and there for i want full access all round [12:12] dr_willis is right [12:12] rypervenche: will need one more thing though lol, where am i creating the ~/.bash_aliases folder? [12:12] 777 Is last resort where im at atm [12:13] SVNDR: It is a file not a folder [12:13] sees odd making data files executable.. if they are not actual executable files... [12:13] ^ that [12:13] Its music [12:13] if you have a single user. you should be able to set the owner to be your user. and thats about all you need to do. [12:13] rypervenche: thats what i meant, but im a newb to ubuntu, and havent quite worked out the file system.. have a hard enough time locating C: as it is ;p [12:14] unless you got somthing else going on. [12:14] dr_willis, You know how my upgrades and updates allways break my system? well i decided screw it and just clean installed and backup my files [12:14] KrisDouglas: so any idea why my music in amarok plays on my computer, but not on my headphones, even though it says "switching to headphones" when I plug them in (USB headphones) [12:14] Hence i don't own these files [12:15] Hello, I want to use a package from natty in my oneiric ubuntu but apt refuses to install it. Do you know what do I need to do to force apt to let me do it? (Its ROS diamondback the package I want) [12:16] r0s, Have you checked why is won't install [12:16] rypervenche: all good, got it sorted, thanks again mate [12:16] TheHackOps: So set the ownership to your user: sudo chmod -R username your_folder [12:16] SVNDR: No problem, enjoy. [12:16] theadmin, Well that works untill i reboot... [12:17] TheHackOps: Huh. Is there a setuid flag on your filesystem? Or are these files on some NTFS/FAT device? [12:17] Ohh enter my username [12:17] Derp [12:17] theadmin: chmod works for ownership aswell? [12:17] no i just derped sooo hard [12:17] TheHackOps: the error is exactly what you can find here posted: http://answers.ros.org/question/244/installing-on-new-ubuntu-1010-problems-diamondback but im on ubuntu 11.10 I'm using a software source for natty because there isnt one for oneiric for that version of ROS diamondback [12:17] huttan: Bah [12:17] TheHackOps: Sorry. sudo chown -R username your_folder # chown, not chmod [12:17] theadmin, i just uber derped [12:17] TheHackOps: odd.. i always own my files on clean installs. :) i always re-add the new users in teh same order. so the uid/gids are the same. [12:17] huttan: Sorry, always mix the two up [12:18] theadmin: haha easy made, glad its sorted out :) [12:18] chown is CHange Owner and chmod CHange MODe, TheHackOps [12:18] huttan: I hardly ever use those two, mostly I just "setfacl" [12:18] KrisDouglas, Hence why i said derp coz i should have known that being a network admin :( [12:18] theadmin: i gotta man that, never used it, thanks [12:18] i dont recall ever using setfacl :) [12:19] Dang i feel sillyz [12:19] TheHackOps: :) was using chmod when you needed chown? [12:19] Ysudo chown -R username your_folder [12:19] yup [12:19] whoops [12:19] now ya know why we all stared at you funny when you wanted to use 777 :P [12:20] * TheHackOps slaps self super hard [12:20] TheHackOps: I feel I need to use some command in my apt-get install to force it to install everything anyways, but -f or -m do not do anything. Or trick apt to think it's an oneiric source or something [12:21] bbl. :) [12:21] r0s, Is it a compatibility issue or key issue [12:21] aww yeh you guys are smexy [12:21] I know I am [12:21] Fixed my epicly silly problemz [12:22] Do you guys think i should play russian roulete and update my system? [12:22] hi all, I suddenly run ' [12:22] mv /* /var/lib/ as root from SSH...is therea comeback?? [12:22] rockband: Uhhh... nope >.< [12:22] TheHackOps: kernel or whole dist? [12:22] what is the alternative for gnome-disk-utility and gparted for KDE? [12:22] 11.x [12:23] huttan, kernal + a bunch of other stuff its a fresh of 11.10 [12:23] huttan, 99% of updates seem to break my system [12:23] can i restore from the folder [12:23] TheHackOps: yeah man, i always optimize my kernels [12:23] rockband, omg lol [12:23] huttan, not that it matters coz i can allways go into grub and choose the last one but still [12:23] huttan, its so anoying [12:24] assuming it moved the files. [12:24] or all is lost [12:24] btw pae kernal is awesome i can use my 6bg on 32bit [12:24] TheHackOps: Sorry mate, but i have to work :( [12:24] good luck [12:24] defying everything i have been taught [12:24] Ha theres 9 bullets loaded out of 10 [12:25] :) [12:25] Hey! plese, any ideas? http://pastebin.com/MQwnGsYq [12:25] TheHackOps, I found the PAE kernel was trying to torture me, moved to 64 bit without issue now. i was expecting LOADS of problems [12:26] KrisDouglas, PAE Seems fine to me its slightly faster on my system but im scared to update and also unity lags a little like for example when i click the black ubuntu thingi it takes 4 secconds [12:26] TheHackOps, for some reason the PAE played havock with the interface performance on my machine, 64 bit just fixed it outright. [12:26] interface as in GUI that is [12:27] KrisDouglas, Oh well im not going though the tourture of reinstalling [12:27] rockband, that's not the answer you want to hear, but as already said, if you actually ran that command, you destroyed your system [12:27] nobody!?

[12:57] hello, I have a question about repository. how do I switch between "stable" and "unstable" source of the same program? i.e. a program has version 1.0 in "stable" and version 1.1 in "testing", I enabled both repositories, now I wan to install the version I choose, and especially, downgrade to v1.0 if 1.1 is not ok. thanks [12:57] I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 witha dual-monitor setup. Is there any way of switching workspaces on monitors sepparately? [12:57] xrfang: talking about a specific ppa? [12:57] ikonia: i ussed firefox on windows and it worked fine.. im guessing linux uses different file types (duh) but then what client will work? [12:57] fidel, not a ppa, but I setup a private repo using reprepo in office. [12:57] SVNDR: it's the fact that it's running on linux that won't work [12:58] SVNDR: most likely the site-admin is just stupid/lazy or both [12:58] xrfang: be very careful, as if you switch to testing it may upgrade other things as dependencies, which are then hardware to downgrade [12:58] ikonia: Wrong. I gave him a sollution allready, he just didn't bother to read it. [12:58] or .... what might happen as well -using some pretty strange tech ;) [12:58] SVNDR the website 'sees' that you are running linux and won't continue because of it [12:59] ikonia, I don't understand, you mean, switch to "testing" is GLOBAL, not for a specific program? [12:59] SVNDR: i guess you ae just missing something like flash [12:59] GeorgeJ: it's not wrong, that site is not setup to work with linux based browsers, he can try to fool it, but what's the point, [12:59] SVNDR: or whatever the site is using [12:59] xrfang: depends on the repo, if your repo contains only one application, then yes, if it's a development repo with more than that one application, then no, you'd have to look at application "pinning" [12:59] !pinning | xrfang [12:59] xrfang: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [12:59] ikonia: i got email on there that id like to be able to access on here (linux) [12:59] ikonia: That is irrelevant, firefox's rendered behaves no differently to my knowledge on linux than from windoes, or mac. [12:59] SVNDR: best thing you can do besides trying to fool the page is writing to the site-admin and ask to fix that stupid browser-string-check [13:00] renderer* [13:00] GeorgeJ: I'm sure it does, I'm not disputing that [13:00] ikonia, so you are saying that the "global" I asked, apply to a specific repo, not all entries in the source.list file, right? [13:01] i.e., it affect all applications provided by the same source? [13:01] xrfang: if you add a repo that contains 200 packages, then those 200 packages will be available for upgrade [13:01] xrfang: if you add a repo with 1 application, only that one will be available [13:01] Is it by any chance safe to use "TRIM" in an encrypted filesystem on Ubuntu? Where it's installed on a Solid State Drive. [13:01] iceroot: how do i download flash for linux then? [13:01] ok, that's cool, my repo only apply to a small number of related packages [13:01] Is there any way of switching workspaces sepparately on each monitor in Unity? [13:01] !flash | SVNDR [13:01] SVNDR: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [13:01] Auk: shouldn't be a problem [13:02] iceroot: cheers [13:02] GeorgeJ: I don't think so, [13:02] ikonia: I heard of issues that TRIM will not work properly. [13:02] Auk: possible, but I'm not aware of any [13:02] but, if I add both testing and main (i.e. two entries in the source.list file), only the testing repo will be used by APT? [13:02] (except for pinning, I mean, now reading...) [13:02] GeorgeJ: possibly if you use xinerama, but that never used to work in gnome 2 so I have no reason to think it's been updated in gnome 3 [13:02] ikonia: Wait, you're using it (by any chance)? o_O [13:03] Auk: not at the moment, I have done it on a Fedora machine. [13:03] Wow. I think I should've invested on a regular harddrive. [13:03] xrfang: every repo will be used you put in the sources.list [13:03] Oh well, I did got warranty on it. [13:04] Thanks for the answers ikonia. [13:04] Laters! [13:04] Auk wikipedia: "Linux 2.6.33Feb 2010[29]Not all filesystems make use of TRIM. Ext4 and Btrfs are known to support it[30]" [13:05] MonkeyDust: But this concerns about while using an encrypted solid state drive or file system. [13:05] when i create unbutu on a 40 gig hdd i give unbutu 21 gig space to install but now linux say it haven got enough space i google it but no awser sry for the flaws [13:05] so, pinning requires configuration file change, can't be done on command line? :( [13:06] Why encrypted? I heard it's almost impossible to "Perm erase" an SSD. [13:07] warning === shirt is now known as blackshirt [13:10] what is the difference between dmesg and /var/log/messages? [13:11] theadmin, GeorgeJ: I may have stated my question unclearly, but either way in the end both your answers were RONG!!! so really maybe you shoulda of kept quiet in the first place.. OUT. xD [13:11] you're rong and will die ronely [13:11] you spelled RONG WRONG [13:11] SVNDR: "wrong" is a website which will not support Linux. Their fault, not mine. Anyway, it seems to work here... [13:12] Teratogen: dmesg is for kernel messages, so you can often get messages from boot time in there after start-up. var/log/messages is for various services and applications to log to [13:12] SVNDR: How was I wrong? [13:13] as i said.. OUT!! [13:13] does the kernel "send" messages to dmesg after bootup? [13:13] wtf [13:13] why not log kernel messages to /var/log/messages too? [13:13] wouldn't that be useful? [13:14] Hi [13:14] Known_problems, Hi. [13:15] How do I install JDK ? I tried installing django's IDE and I got an error saying I don't have JDK.. [13:16] sudo apt-get install openjdk-jre [13:16] marel sudo apt-get install openjdk [13:16] slikts was faster :p [13:16] so I got disconnected last night [13:16] Teratogen: i'm not too sure on this, but I think the stuff dmesg outputs is in memory, not on the file system [13:17] marel: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk [13:17] MonkeyDust: I was also wrong [13:17] MonkeyDust, I've got an error saying : unable to locate package openjdk.. [13:17] marel: everything else is just pulling the jre and for development you need the jdk [13:17] so when I type the command dmesg [13:17] it's showing me messages that are actually in memory? [13:17] marel: you openjdk-6-jre [13:18] how hey! [13:18] the android build consumed much of my system resounces !! [13:18] Teratogen: man dmesg says it displays the "kernel ring buffer" [13:18] right [13:19] Teratogen: looks like they also get sent to /proc/kmsg [13:20] http://pastebin.com/fE6Bt8ii [13:20] antipragmatist nice to know, but how is it ubuntu related? [13:20] antipragmatist: please dont say "because i am building it on ubuntu" [13:20] :) [13:21] Teratogen: technically most of the stuff in dmesg will probably end up in /var/kern.log, although kern.log likely has more than what was in dmesg [13:22] heh, quiescens, interesting, I don't have a /var/kern.log on my Slackware install [13:22] welll, this is an ubuntu channel so clearly i had just assumed [13:23] right, well the reason I am on here is I installed ubuntu on a notebook computer and was having a few problems getting wireless working [13:24] i tried to compile apache from source, and did ./configure, make, make all instead of make install... now a lot of files are ending in .dpkg-new and when I try to start apache service --status-all shows it as apache2.dpkg-new and i have to service apache2.dpkg-new start i'm told .: 49: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars ... how do I remove this borked install of apache [13:25] shades: why?

[13:27] shades: sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [13:27] it's a pita to install [13:27] shades: should really just use apt-get to install apache [13:27] shades: apt-get can do the same [13:27] loganirc: usermod [13:28] iceroot, I tried just manually editing /etc/passwd, then doing a chown -R /home/user but that messed up something with the encryped file system [13:28] ben64 that doesn't work..

[13:30] shades: did you ever do a 'make install' [13:30] loganirc: you are talking about an ubuntu-iso? [13:31] shades: dpkg-new is because of "divert" [13:31] Ben64: i did a ./configure ; make; make all. I did a make all accidently instead of make install, i went back into the directory and did 'make install' [13:31] So... Someone here did a "sudo chown -R www-data /" last night.

When I run Ubuntu Software Center and try to install a program, it just sits there and does nothing. I think it does this because I'm not running the program as su. The dumb thing never asks for a password. [14:14] usr13, i just recognized that eth0 is like blocking all networking activities on the machine - deactivating it lets wlan0 connect, does dhcp on it, dns is found ..... [14:14] usr13 bad driver for eth0?? [14:15] raven: What is it? (What does lspci say about it?) [14:15] shades: what prefox did you use? /usr, check if there's a uninstall target for make. If so, go to the source and do a make uninstall. Otherwise just reinstall apache from the repos it should overwrite [14:16] usr13, i will test a bit to say anything more about that i will be back [14:16] schnuffle: there is no 'make uninstall' [14:16] raven: I doubt that eth0 is blocking all networking activities, (I've never see a case where that would happen)....

[14:23] w3bg33k: It says "filesystem with 0 blocks" [14:23] shades: would do it, but I would keep it till your're really sure you don't need them anymore.

[14:23] ah, got it... have touse kill and PID [14:24] exit [14:24] shades: and make sure there's no apache2 stuff already installed [14:26] shades: and you could delete al the apache2 files from your compile.

[14:29] schnuffle: i tried alt+tab, but that didnt work either.. and im positive i didnt switch desktops [14:29] shades: and under /usr/lib/httpd [14:30] display. another screen.

[14:33] usr13: it doesnt do that for any other window [14:33] SVNDR: who #How many entries do you get? [14:33] shades: something like that is not really precise :) [14:34] usr13: 4 [14:34] SVNDR: have you tried Docky. Its marginally better than the Unity panel. [14:34] makara: from the software centre? [14:35] but it also aggregates apps icons with open windows, and so does Gnome. [14:35] yes [14:35] SVNDR: Open minimize that one, open another and see.

I don't really know now a virtual machine's partitions are configured...

[14:47] llutz - if this is going to be used just for storage (web files, not OS), should I just make it a logical drive? [14:47] w3bg33k: up to you, makes no difference [14:47] I assume you could use recovery tools on a virtual machine partion also, might have to install a linux virtual machine or something then mount the parition and use recovery tools on it, also if you had a snapshot that might help [14:48] llutz: Well, where I am confused is "sdb3" is the designation of a primary partition. sdb1 - sdb3 would be primary partition designations. sdb5 and up would be logical ones [14:48] i have installed ubuntu 11.10 and deleted windows 7 i thought i was saving the partitation D: but it got deleted is any way i can recover my files from partition D: ? [14:48] llutz: Actually, it's 1-4 are primary [14:48] usr13: 13 see his fdisk paste, sdb3 is an extended partition (a special kind of primary, to hold logical drives) [14:48] Guest9287, use your windows cd to repair ?

System Extended Sorry for the confusion. YOu are correct. It is an Extended partition, not a primary one. (I missed that.) [14:51] what is this ?! [14:51] what can i do with it ?

Why cluster everything together without an option? [15:14] Hpm.. [15:15] I need some help. [15:15] makara: true enough lol [15:15] how any times do I open an app vs how many times I need to switch to one - should be the guiding principle [15:15] I'm trying to get Skype installed and well Ubuntu's telling me I need to uninstall some library to get it working.

The mouse moves around fine, but nothing is selected when I click. [15:21] Matan_: empty, unpartitioned, unformatted space is going to be the least confusing to the installer. [15:21] Decode141: Mumble :) [15:22] thanks h00k ;-p [15:22] Decode141: install it from the website, then after you do, type "sudo apt-get instal -f" to get the dependencies [15:22] Sorry, been trying to install skype since like 30 minutes. iFail ;_; [15:22] Decode141: install with two l's :/ [15:22] Yep, I know that hehe.

[15:25] why doesn't youtube play full size video on linux [15:25] Decode141: that is it? [15:25] Yep. [15:25] I mean, I downloaded the package from Skype.com [15:25] For my version [15:25] Decode141: are you using x86-64 (AMD64) or i386? [15:26] Then I opened it and it ran the software manager, I hit Enter and that shows up and nothing else. Note, I'm not able to get Wine working either [15:26] AMD64 [15:26] I'm using wubi to dual boot with Windows. [15:26] Decode141: did you download the AMD64 version of Skype? [15:26] 64bit [15:26] Decode141: this is on 11.10? [15:26] Decode141: why don't you get the 64bit skype.deb? [15:27] Yeah, skype-ubuntu-2.2.0.35-1_amd64.deb [15:27] Alright so I reinstalled ubuntu server 11.10 (Again) and I'm going to restart it. [15:27] Decode141: and this requires ia32-libs?

[18:07] Y-DNA: you may want to tell the channel what you are trying to do exactly. and what os you are on now. [18:07] you always have to use a program to write it, be it dd,cat,cp, etc [18:07] Y-DNA: just plug your usb drive in after you've downloaded the iso and the appropriate program and do the math.

[18:08] Y-DNA: you already run on a linux so it shouldn't really be a problem [18:08] what player do you use? [18:08] talking about console based player [18:09] libnotify: yes. your esrver needs something to serve up the music files. e.g. a network share [18:09] oh, I was about to say audacious.... [18:09] libnotify: pretty sure mpg123 would do it [18:09] libnotify, i think cmus can with cmus-remote [18:09] xangua: I installed it today. A fresh install. [18:09] its ncurses [18:09] xangua: .11.10 64-bit ubuntu [18:09] cmus plays but no volume [18:09] wols_: challenge accepted: sysresccd does it with A SINGLE ONE command --> bash ./usb_inst.sh (courtesy of gentoo under the hood) [18:09] libnotify: use moc [18:10] !info cmus [18:10] cmus (source: cmus): lightweight ncurses audio player. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.2-1 (oneiric), package size 208 kB, installed size 620 kB [18:10] problem is that systemrescuecd don't have no sound. [18:10] libnotify: make sure it's using the correct audio driver [18:10] engammalsko: tried to reset unity¿¿ with: unity --reset [18:10] trism: Got it working. [18:10] xangua: No I try it now. [18:10] bw_: excellent, how? [18:10] Y-DNA: so systemrescuecd has sound. [18:10] moc, then mpg123...... which one has someone used? [18:11] xangua: unity is not installed :s [18:11] trism: I was redirecting output to /etc/init.d instead of /etc/init -_- [18:11] that works fine [18:11] bw_: ahh, that would do it, at least it is working now [18:11] xangua: I did a unity reset now [18:12] anyone have any idea why with ATI graphics... Gnome Shell is crapy and unity xfce and kde are good [18:12] Gnea: it don't, that's why I want Ubuntu LiveUSB withou-extra-cd-burning-linux-install-in-order-to-use-the-easy-liveUSB-creator, ya feel me?? [18:12] What about using Packagekit for ubuntu? [18:12] trism: yea, thanks for your help..it's always nice talking to someone who knows there *nix. [18:12] xangua: Got this error while reseting: compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x3e00d91 [18:12] Y-DNA: just looked at the ubuntu wiki about installation. ubuntu still uses the years old debian process for usb images. I think (and hope) they build hybrid images soon like debian did. then it's a simple "cp file.iso /dev/sdc" [18:12] wols_: you can do that now with 11.10+ images [18:12] engammalsko: so you did not installed Ubuntu, what did you then¿¿ Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu ¿ [18:13] wols_: moc is fine? [18:13] wols_: so ive totally missed what Y-DNA issue is.. [18:13] libnotify: rarely used it. it played [18:13] Y-DNA: well, if you'd read the URL I suggested earlier instead of flipping me attitude, you would have found the answer already. [18:13] libnotify: gnea's suggestion is also worth a look [18:13] Hi, Does anyone know how to make AWK begin it's processing at line two and further (skip line 1)? Can you explain in newbie-language ;) [18:13] via ssh session you mean? [18:13] Y-DNA: unless there's something that you're not referencing [18:13] Tico: #awk [18:13] libnotify: nothing works via ssh session cause ssh doesn't transport the audio [18:14] libnotify: the server will play the music on the server's speakers [18:14] libnotify: pulseaudio can transport music over the network [18:14] Gnea: which one of the two links I need? [18:14] libnotify: with an ssh tunnel even over the wan [18:14] if I have a DVD with no apparent scratches or other damage, but doesn't get recognized by Ubuntu (or other DVD players) anymore, is there any way of attempting to read whatever raw sectors off the disk? The disk was playable at one time. [18:14] I got my sound to start working, but now when i plug my headphone in the sound still plays through the PC Speakers and not the headphone.. [18:15] mbeierl: you could try ddrescue - this is a data disk? or a movie disk? comercial disk? [18:15] iceroot: need something that does it via a ssh session [18:15] Y-DNA: it's up to you to figure that out. [18:15] dr_willis: commercial movie dvd. I just get: Sense: Medium format corrupted [18:16] !usb | Y-DNA [18:16] Y-DNA: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [18:16] mbeierl: Hmm.. wonder if there could be some little scratch/curruption on the disk thats hard to see [18:16] Y-DNA: there, so you don't have to go through scrollback [18:16] up to me... best helping hand in... RIDDLES!! [18:16] dr_willis: that's what I would guess [18:17] Y-DNA: do you read english? it's quite self-explanatory. === ainely is now known as Cifra-2 [18:17] dr_willis: it just seems like a weak point in DVD layouts that if the superblock (or whatever) is damaged, the whole disk appears unusable [18:17] you see, from what I am familiar with syslinux needs to be modified in order to be able to boot from USB. [18:17] I'm finding the output of this strange, RESULT=$(curl "http://www.google.com" -o /dev/null 2>&1 | tail -n1) [18:17] I can't do this against it FILESIZE=$(echo $RESULT | awk '{print $2}') [18:18] or even if I do echo 123 $RESULT then I don't see the 123 [18:18] Y-DNA: sorry, gf needs me, good luck. [18:18] it's some strange output that I can't work with, like it's not a normal string [18:18] I got my sound to start working, but now when i plug my headphone in the sound still plays through the PC Speakers and not the headphone.. [18:18] Y-DNA: you can basically download the ubuntu 11.10 iso you want and use 'dd if=theimage.iso of=/dev/sdXX' for your usb stick.. if thats what you are trying to do.. the syslinux loader on the cd/usb also supports run time options. Hit space when you see the man=keyboard image and theres an options screen. [18:18] hi I just reinstalled ubuntu for the 5th time and now the trackpad isn't working? [18:18] * Y-DNA reads through the links. [18:18] any ideas?

[18:20] he has a lot of time on his hands [18:20] I had everything working, but when i installed thinkfinger tools and rebooted gurb was crupt [18:20] dr_willis: any way i can view machines connected to my server including their names? [18:20] I wonder when will LiveUSB ISO become default download. [18:20] <_jason> BangBusRUs: you did that 4 times? [18:20] tomvolek: to clarify: your question is how to do configure the router to forward traffic from the internet to your ubuntu server? [18:21] Nope before it was partitioning problems [18:21] Y-DNA, cd/dvds are the standard for everything still [18:21] libnotify: if they are running samba. you can try smbtree or findsmb. then theres nmap and its 100+ options [18:21] LiveUSB should be omptimized for flash storage and filesystem. [18:21] last night i had a pretty good working ubuntu [18:21] <_jason> BangBusRUs: so during the other installs, your trackpad works and now on a fresh install, the trackpad does not work? [18:22] Yes that is correct sir... [18:22] Y-DNA, its usually only to install though [18:22] Y-DNA: the iso image for 11.10 is allready working as a live-usb-iso Unless you have some differnt specs as to what that vague term means. [18:22] <_jason> BangBusRUs: nothing was done to this current install other than boot it? [18:22] Yes [18:22] just installed now and first login [18:23] mbeierl, I have a dev box running ubuntu 10.04, I have severl virtual hosts in apache setup on port 80, I have also setup a dyndns address for peopel outside to reach my host with a port forwarding on my router. What I want is the request only goes to one of these virtual hosts . [18:23] <_jason> BangBusRUs: does the trackpad work at the login screen? [18:23] I think so [18:23] dr_willis: amma try it === Guest58627 is now known as babilen [18:23] mbeierl if you like I can explain further on a private channel [18:23] <_jason> BangBusRUs: try [18:23] umm no wait i didnt try it. just entered my password and logged in [18:23] ok === babilen is now known as Guest37311 [18:24] tomvolek: No, please. Let's keep the discussion in this channel. I don't know much about virtual hosts [18:24] ok tx === Guest37311 is now known as babilen [18:25] tomvolek: I just wanted to clarify if the issue was that portforwarding was not happening in the router. I can help from the network layer, but web hosting configuration is not something I'm good at === Otacon22_ is now known as Otacon22 [18:26] dr_willis: alas, ddrescue thinks it is reading bad blocks from the disk, but the disk is not even spinning.

Not one of those old self-destucting dvd movies they tried to come out with like 5+ yrs ago is it? [18:27] thanks. lol. I should have read that through once more [18:27] Y-DNA: 1500-1600 is about the average I usually see [18:27] ah ok [18:27] dr_willis: nope. it's a two-part disk. Disk 1 won't load, but disk 2 does. go figure [18:28] dr_willis: I mean, yes it used to work, and no, it's not supposed to be self-destructing [18:28] mbeierl: I got a dvd movie once that was upside down.. lable was on the data side. :) [18:28] mbeierl, what is it a game or something? [18:29] dr_willis: nice. no, I can confirm this is a movie that used to work [18:29] Gentoo64: a movie dvd [18:31] is this what I am looking for?? -> Method 3: Copying the ISO CD image to the USB drive [18:31] mbeierl: Is it possible that Region was changed in dvd drive? [18:31] Y-DNA, are you just trying to make a bootable usb stick? [18:32] Gentoo64: EXACTLY!! [18:32] Y-DNA: you can basically use 'dd if=theimage.iso of=/dev/sdXX' for your usb stick.. if thats what you are trying to do.. for 11.10+ [18:32] Y-DNA, all the progs are the same basically, try unetbootin. click "choose iso" then click "make" [18:32] actually it would be of=/dev/sdx [18:33] Unetbootin and other tools use differnt methods. and let you use extras space on the flash drive for storage. [18:33] so they are more prefered [18:33] not just that, if he dont know how to do it the easy way, dd will probbaly confuse him [18:34] I don't have unebootin. You see those two links provided to create a LiveUSB, the steps are LONGER!!! than a full install, :( [18:35] _willis> Y-DNA: you can basically use 'dd if=theimage.iso of=/dev/sdXX' for your usb stick.. if thats what you are [18:35] Y-DNA, most of the progs, you just choose the iso, then click install/make whatever [18:35] then itll make the usbs bootable [18:36] dr_willis mm.. ok but the image is 700MB and my USB flash drive is 8GB, does this mean that the rest of 7.3 GB will be wasted? [18:36] u [18:36] Hey Guys, I have 3 video cards(one-on board) that work with windows xp just fine(triple monitor setup).... when I format to Ubuntu...I cant see to get them all going( [18:36] Y-DNA, just partition 2 partitions: 1 1gb and 1 7gb [18:36] http://pastebin.com/UTxYrnVq [18:36] just wipe the usb after its installed anyway [18:37] installing ubuntu is not my goal, but use it as LiveUSB. [18:37] Y-DNA: what ISO are you trying to make into a bootable USB, and do you have Ubuntu installed on your system already? [18:37] whats the point? [18:38] Y-DNA, then do what I said [18:38] k [18:39] can anyone tell me why my updated Ubuntu 10.04 box only tells me what users it feels like showing, when i use the 'w' command? e.g. sometimes it shows me noone logged in, only myself logged in once (even though i have several connections and other people are on), sometimes it works and displays everyone... etc [18:39] limeage: I confirmed in other dvd players, Disk 1 of 2 in the movie dvd series will not play in any player. Disk 2 of 2 in the series does. There is no apparent damage, but like dr_willis suggested, it's probably small enough that I can't see it, but the drives can. [18:40] Im dual-booting vista and ubuntu at the moment, im just wondering if there is anyway to use two monitors, one to display ubuntu, and the other to display windows? [18:40] mbeierl, is it an old dvd? [18:40] maybe it got exposed to something [18:40] ha ha, this is great, my brand new USB drive is pre-loaded with spyware --> autorun.inf club_application RunClubSanDisk.exe RunSanDiskSecureAccess_Win.exe SanDiskSecureAccess [18:41] Y-DNA, why is thst spyware? === Cifra-2 is now known as unRar [18:41] or do you mean just crap [18:41] do I have to wipe out the partition in order to do this? 'dd if=theimage.iso of=/dev/sdXX' [18:41] Y-DNA, I use unetbootin myself [18:41] (on windows) [18:42] i'll try if sysrescuecd can install unetbootin [18:42] Y-DNA: no, dd will wipe it [18:42] on what OS are you atm? [18:43] Y-DNA: but i suggest to use unetbootin, I just imagine that later you will face with [18:44] yumbo: lol, unetbootin is not an option here. I am trying to create a LiveUSB off a minimal Live distro. [18:44] Y-DNA: "recover my USB stick" [18:44] Y-DNA, if you have internet you can install stuff [18:45] yumbo: LiveUSB sysrescuecd. [18:45] e.g unetbootin [18:45] dont that come with unetbooting already on it/ [18:45] nope :( [ebuild N ] sys-boot/unetbootin-563 [18:45] Im dual-booting vista and ubuntu at the moment, im just wondering if there is anyway to use two monitors, one to display ubuntu, and the other to display windows? [18:46] Y-DNA, install it then :s [18:46] SVNDR: the ways are several. [18:47] i have any problem with my ubuntu 11.10 [18:47] Y-DNA: got any tutorials handy? lol [18:47] SVNDR, no because they dont boot together [18:47] i cant play PES 2011 on my ubuntu [18:47] chabie, maybe its a windows program [18:47] Gentoo64: what about Xen, kvm, virtualbox?? [18:47] :) [18:48] SVNDR, you want to dispaly windows in one monitor and linux in other simultaneously ? great idea but i don't thinkmits possible wiout two computers [18:48] Y-DNA, yeah ofc but that wouldnt be using his dual boot [18:48] yes i know that.. [18:48] SVNDR, the only way to do that is to install Windows in a virtual machine in Ubuntu (or vice versa) [18:48] chabie, in wine? === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [18:48] no idea [18:48] SVNDR, you cant do it with dualbooting [18:48] yes i has do it.. [18:48] but still cant play.. [18:48] openvoid, yumbo: alright thanks [18:48] it's perfectly feasible to run linux and m$$$ side by side, I myself have run m$$ xp, vi$ta, 7 simultaneously inside linux. [18:49] Y-DNA, M$ is so 20th century :/ [18:49] hey guys php puts it's error logs in a different place in ubuntu, does anyone know where that is? [18:49] are have a tutorial about that?? [18:50] chabie, about the game not working? [18:50] hi - when using apt-get to install a package, is there some way to show what files get copied and their destination files. I have a package and want to know where it is installing to. Thanks [18:50] hi im trying to mount my external hdd and got this error http://pastebin.com/2b2tFMYU [18:50] yes.. [18:50] yumbo: totally agree with you, m$$ ain't innovating anymore. [18:50] chabie, try in #winehq [18:50] Y-DNA, I was referring to the way you wrote it ofcourse [18:50] can i ask the link about winehq [18:51] i try on wine 1.3 [18:51] chabie, it got gold rating so it should work, try joining the wine channel [18:51] BangBusRUs, did you do what the error asked you to do? [18:51] no i dont have windows installed [18:52] My terminal typography isn't working properly. The letters are slightly jumbled together. [18:52] BangBusRUs, you can use GParted to check a NTFS drive too [18:53] spaceneedle, go to Preferences and select a new font [18:53] how do you mean check it [18:53] check it in what way? [18:53] BangBusRUs, install GParted [18:53] check for what exatllly? [18:53] yumbo: actually, the way I wrote it transcends time and space [18:53] spaceneedle, use a monospace font [18:53] ok [18:53] BangBusRUs, then you can see your external drive listed there, then you can right click it and check for errors [18:53] ok [18:54] willl doo [18:55] monospace worked.wonder why dingbats didn't? [18:55] mm... I see, so technically a LiveCD and a LiveUSB differ in terms of filesystem. For instance a CD/DVD can't have a filesystem whereas flash storage does. Therefore the entire design of a LiveUSB image would be incompatible with a CD/DVD iso image. Right? [18:56] how to delete a recently added repository [18:56] not person that still live on #winehq.. [18:56] markdaws: dpkg -L [18:56] hi all [18:57] chabie, you might need to wait, dont forget #ubuntu is one of the busiest on here [18:57] yes that.. [18:57] inttosh: if you mean a PPA: sudo ppa-purge "ppaname" [18:57] it will remove all packages from the ppa and disable it [18:57] Y-DNA, new versions of ubuntu have compability for usb-sticks [18:57] markdaws: but it will not show what was done by preinstall and postinstall scripts [18:58] inttosh, you can open "Software sources" and remove it [18:58] xangua, i am experiencing loads of ppa errors while update [18:58] I have data on a remote system whose backup I would like to take using dd piped to bzip2. But the remote system is old with low prcessing power for compression (and probably dd too). Is it possible to run the command from my end and use my system processing power for the task? [18:58] this is interesting that this problem hasn't bee addressed yet. LiveUSB could usher new ways of using a LiveOS. Not even puppy linux, arguably the most advanced Live distro out there, DOES NOT have straight way of installing to usb by passing the CD/DVD step. [18:58] lol [18:58] Can anyone help me with choosing ram memory. I have dell gx280 computer with two pc2-3200U-333-10-c1 rams (256 mb each). Will this one: http://www.hoacomputer.com/files/Ram_Kingston512.jpg be OK? [18:59] karol_, if its the same voltage and type it will [18:59] yumbo: I will see after 2 hours (time to complete download) === erkan^2 is now known as erkan^ [18:59] Y-DNA, takes 1 minute to download here :s [19:00] yumbo, ppa-purge command not found [19:00] karol_: hey sweety, I'll gladly help you any whichever way you are more comfortable with ;) [19:00] inttosh, I did not tell you to do ppa-purge [19:00] inttosh, i think you can just remove the ppa line from etc apt source.lst [19:00] inttosh, I told you to open "Software sources" and remove the repository [19:00] ok [19:01] inttosh: ppa-purge is a package from the universe repositories and needs to be installed if you want to use it [19:01] limeage: thanks [19:01] thanks [19:01] karol_: however that's not a ubuntu question your best bet is #hardware [19:02] !ppa-purge [19:02] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [19:02] Y-DNA: OK, I'll ask there [19:03] hi, is there a simpler way to display subdirectories sizes in bash than that - 'for i in ./* do du -sh $i; done' [19:03] Y-DNA: dr_willis: If you just want to dd the Ubuntu image to a drive and have it be bootable, it needs to be dd'd to the drive, not to a partition. So that would be "dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX" (note 'sdX' and *not* 'sdXX', so something like 'sdb'). [19:04] flux242: du -h --max-depth=1 / [19:04] Y-DNA: And that command will overwrite any data currently on the drive, so be carefull. [19:05] Anyone help with http://askubuntu.com/questions/92797/how-to-fix-the-bold-font-rendering-issue-with-gnome-terminal? [19:05] Jordan_U that's completely fine because this is a brand new usb flash. [19:06] * Y-DNA goes for some invigorating fermented grape juice.

[19:20] simplt following the instructions. [19:20] akpk: I would question those instructions [19:21] :-P [19:21] akpk: why does a php-framework need to change/access ~/.gvfs? [19:21] sskalnik : If you are using a unix-like system, the installation’s subdirs may have lost their permissions during zip extraction. Chmod them all to 755 by running find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; from the root of your Kohana installation. === nil is now known as kkklll [19:22] instruction from the documentation, [19:22] when i typed this i got that error message [19:22] so if i want to say make a desktop icon for an attached device, wheree is the setting? i used to have it pop right up, but now with unity it's become a rather difficult task [19:22] akpk: what directory are you in when you run that command? [19:22] akpk: you made your $HOME the installation-dir for that framework? [19:23] It looks like you need to chmod the installation directory, but you are trying to chmod something entirely different.. [19:23] /opt/lampp/htdcos [19:24] akpk: "running find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; from the root of your Kohana installation" does NOT mean to run it from your home-dir [19:24] akpk: apparently there's a ppa for stable releases also: https://launchpad.net/~kohana/+archive/stable [19:24] : Thank you.

[19:27] akpk: you want to set executable-bit on dirs [19:27] hiiii [19:28] and can I install on this xubuntu everything there is to install on ubuntu and it will work? [19:28] priXon: yes [19:28] chmod 666,but dat folder is still not writable. [19:28] akpk: you want to set executable-bit on dirs [19:28] <_jason> akpk: my advice is to not use xampp; use apache from ubuntu's repositories [19:28] lluts : hm,Okay. [19:29] akpk: If you're not worried about security you can also try chmod +777 if i'm not mistaken, also you may want to right click on it properties/permissions allow execution [19:29] Gentoo64: what about visa versa of what priXon said..? [19:29] ,Ya 777 is working. [19:30] SVNDR: you can install any apps, on any ubuntu [19:30] 777 is a bad idea in most cases [19:30] Ok so I checked with GParted [19:30] Gentoo64, can you assume how faster will a netbook a transformed xubuntu /lubuntu run compared to unity ubuntu? [19:30] (But this documentation want me to try 666) [19:30] It says its unallocated [19:30] Gentoo64: so the name difference dont mean much, app wise? [19:30] priXon: much snappier [19:30] priXon: itll use less ram as well [19:30] llutz, sure but at least it works, it isn't really important if security isn't an issue imo [19:30] Umm who was helping me before? [19:31] Hello [19:31] SVNDR: no its just the desktop default environment. if you put lxde on, most people would stick to lighter apps rather than some gnome app pulling in most of gnome deps [19:31] bluezone: 777 is a bad idea in most cases and "it works" is the most stupid reason to use it [19:31] llutz, please explain why it is a bad idea [19:31] Who was helping me before please reply [19:32] bluezone: you don't want world-writable directories [19:32] Youtube, metacafe etc work very well in CHROME on my PC...except one site streaming videos in flash player [19:32] the thing is, that with ubuntu on a netbook, you sometime have to wait a second or two until firefox/chromium opens. and for libreoffice, maybe some 5-10-15 seconds [19:32] Anyone having chrome installed? [19:32] I do [19:32] bluezone: you don't want a webserver have write-access to all files [19:32] Gentoo64: alright makes sence.. and whats this talk about xubuntu running faster on netbooks? ubuntus burning my CPU practically, do you recon xubuntu might help? [19:32] amberj [19:32] I just need someone to check if they can get flash player to load for one site... [19:32] llutz, that's exactly what i mean, if security isn't an issue for him then that is irrelevant [19:32] what one [19:32] bluezone: even on home-computers, if you do it, do it right [19:32] bluezone, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_privilege [19:33] What site Amberj [19:33] bluezone: still stupid reason. security always matters [19:33] I don't understand how come there is a difference in loading the softwares if the core is the same. Gentoo64, can you explain that? [19:33] SVNDR: priXon: try it. xubuntu probably wont help much in terms of cpu or app load times but it might on a slower comp [19:33] BangBusRUs, http://tinyurl.com/6pr3m8t [19:33] BangBusRUs, Chrome on ubuntu... [19:33] llutz, not to me :) [19:33] priXon: because gnome is larger, and takes mroe ram and cpu [19:33] lmao why is it tinyurl [19:33] priXon: because those apps you mentioned are heavier on resource usage [19:34] BangBusRUs, Long URL.... [19:34] bluezone: ok, but don't recommend it to other users here, pls [19:34] Gentoo64: alright, nothing loads slow so much, its just the over heating CPU, been reading it might be the kernel [19:34] fine :( [19:34] its okay just post the site [19:34] BangBusRUs, http://classx.stanford.edu/ClassX/system/users/web/pg/view_presentation.php?subject=CS229_FALL_2011_2012&session=Lecture%2002&runtime=Flash&devClass=1 [19:35] so you would advice using xubuntu/lubuntu only if I see that I'm usually using almost all of my RAM? and if not, then one can use ubuntu-unity? [19:35] does unity in 11.10 provide for making desktop icons, or is that somethign we're gonna have to wait for 12.04 for ? [19:35] hi [19:35] nope it does not load up [19:35] priXon, the lighter ones just are snappier, less to go wrong, less ram and cpu, less disk space [19:36] Ubuntu 10.10 not recognizing my CD Rom?????? [19:36] I switched off auto save settings in mc, however when I quit it saves other_dir in panels.ini [19:36] how can I switch off this behaviour? [19:36] GeForce88: i think you have to make your own theres no tool for it [19:36] Thanks for confirming, BangBusRUs. I can now report it to site admins :) [19:36] <_jason> Thank you very much !! [19:36] BangBusRUs, Do you get "missing plugin"? [19:37] imark : gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop [19:37] can you define what you mean by "snappier"? english isn't my native language so I don't get all the connotation right [19:37] Everything installed . [19:37] Its cool amberj, oh btw wanna go for a ride? [19:37] so yea there is a tool, but, there should be drag and drop support...? [19:37] Its Working smoothly. [19:37] AmberJ: BangBusRUsworks fine to me on firefox [19:37] priXon, opening windows / switching etc is all faster [19:37] I have been waiting and asking and waiting since New Years and so far no one has even offered any idea... Am I the only person in Ubuntu to have had this problem [19:37] priXon, theres less delays etc [19:37] maheanuu, sounds like your cd/dvd rom is bad or disconnected [19:38] GeForce88, afaik gnome 3 dont really support using the desktop for icons [19:38] Gentoo64, you said loading time will stay the same. what is opening windows if not loading times of softwares? [19:38] xangua, BangBusRUs It works fine for me in firefox/chromium. Flash videos from youtube, metacafe etc also work fine in Chrome....It's just chrome+classX combo which doesnot works.. [19:38] bluezone, if you don't matter about security give me a free ssh access to your pc [19:38] Morpheme, that's different [19:38] priXon, loading times might be faster, depends on the comp [19:38] BangBusRUs, ride on IRC? heh...Do you mean something like /join ride? ;) [19:38] gentoo64, imho, would it not benefit the disrto to be more 'user friendly' ? some of us prefer desktop icons. [19:39] bluezone, different? why? [19:39] Morpheme, i was talking in context with file permissions [19:39] maheanuu have you tried a different cd drive and or cable? [19:39] Morpheme, that's why ^.^ [19:39] GeForce88: i live and learn [19:39] hello [19:39] GeForce88, it has worke all along and I see it in Places Computer and also in System administration Disk utility but it cannot be mounted or ejected [19:39] No I mean ride on the BangBus? [19:39] Morpheme, besides i wouldn't even give you ssh i would give you ftp rofl [19:39] imark : i'm just used to icons. drag and drop is a nice addition [19:40] GeForce88: sorry keyboard froze [19:40] Gentoo64, by the way, thanks for your answers [19:40] It isn't the CDROM, I installed another one out of another notebook and it is the same [19:40] maheanuu, then it is bad. or, you have something jamming the mechanics of hte drive [19:40] is it possible to install and run oident or similar software without root? [19:40] GeForce88: gnome2 had desktop icons, all the other des still have them [19:40] bluezone, lol, i don't need it, thanks anyway :D [19:41] Gentoo64, do you know of plans to fix this in 12.04 ? [19:41] No, I get like a single speed run when I try to burn then if dies and the drive works fine in another notebook [19:41] GeForce88: no [19:41] the other notebook has windoze on it not Ubuntu [19:41] Gentoo64, defeats the purpose of the desktop, don't it ? [19:41] GeForce88: i dont like it so i dont use it [19:41] hello! where can I ask newbie-like questions? [19:41] lol [19:41] tesuji: here [19:41] tesuji, here [19:41] Gentoo64, fair enough. thx. [19:42] GeForce88: try the more plain desktops if you really want it easy [19:42] maheanuu: have you tryed booting from a cd to see if it works [19:42] if you're talking about drag and drop, can anyone predict if/when one will be able to drag and drop while using alt+tab? [19:43] chris_is No, I will do that now and brb [19:43] priXon: you can drag it to the tray, and when the window shows up continue to drag into it [19:43] maheanuu: good luck [19:44] I just installed Zorin OS 5.2 core, and install all updates, but in Chrome java is not working. [19:44] Gentoo64, there's always: gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop :: ;) [19:44] tesuji: ask on ther channel/forum [19:44] yeah, but sometime it's not as efficient as doing it with alt+tab [19:44] tesuji: dno what that is, but its not supported [19:44] <_jason> tesuji: this is #ubuntu [19:45] GeForce88: its possible to get desktop icons, but its not exactly simple, or default [19:45] ok sorry [19:45] hyia guy [19:46] hi , i try to install ubuntu server on my machine from a usb sticker and i can't continue instalation because the cdrom is missing. There is any chance to bypass cdrom check ? [19:46] is GEDIT the eqivelant to notepad from windows?? [19:47] SVNDR: it's much better than notepad [19:47] pico ftw [19:47] SVNDR: leafpad is mroe like notepad [19:47] SVNDR similar [19:47] id say gedit is more like "wordpad" [19:47] Gentoo64: im gonna try that then [19:47] lol [19:47] so you don't think ubuntu/linux will ever add the function of drag/drop while alt+tabbing? [19:47] Gentoo64: yea thats what i was just thinking lol [19:48] ? [19:48] SVNDR: but as you already have gedit, why not just use it? [19:48] priXon, google says this will be fixed with 12.04 [19:48] you can minimize the view in the options [19:48] <_jason> priXon: it will get added when someone writes it (like everything else) :) [19:49] Gentoo64: dont ask me why, but even on windows i never liked wordpad (for simple things like a quick copy/paste then delete, i always used notepad.. haha just preference i guess [19:49] leafpad has a nicer icon too [19:49] ofcourse. notepad loads up way faster than wordpad and has a much cleaner interface [19:49] Since my remote server only has SSH port open, I am using the parameter -L 31031:localhost:80 so that I can access apache on the remote end. My problem is that when installing wordpress the "Host address" was set to "localhost:31031" and now I can connect to apache's welcome page, but not to Wordpress when I type "http://localhost:31031/wordpress" since apparently it is listening on 31031, but that's just Worpress, apache's still listening on port 80. I tri [19:49] setting apache to listen to 31031 although it didn't work. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong/should do to get back to wordpress and change it? Hope I made some sense there... cheers [19:50] hey guys, I'm a former Ubuntu user (8.04 was my first Linux) thinking about coming back after distro-hopping and a year or so of Debian Testing [19:50] SVNDR: yeah leafpad is very nice for a quick editor [19:50] tidux welcome back then [19:50] is there anything I should watch out for as different from Debian? [19:50] I know Unity's different [19:50] but does it still use sysvinit and /bin/dash? [19:50] tidux: afaik its basivally the same [19:50] yeah, update-alternatives, APT, dpkg, etc. are all there [19:51] tidux: i suppsoe youll learn the little changes as you go [19:51] <_jason> tidux: ubuntu uses upstart (but sysvinit scripts still get called) and ubuntu uses dash as sh by default [19:51] alright, cool [19:51] thanks _jason [19:52] _jason: debian uses dash aswell since a while [19:52] yeah [19:52] dash = Debianized Almquist SHell [19:52] it really is much faster than bash in sh-mode for stuff like init scripts [19:53] and it can still do functions, etcl [19:53] *etc. [19:53] ok, sorry again, but does anyone know any Zorin OS channel? Thanks! [19:53] tesuji: tried #zorinos ? [19:53] <_jason> tidux: go to zorin os website, help, irc [19:53] does anybody know why ubuntu requires a cdrom since is installed from a bootable usb sticker ?

[19:55] correct typed :) [19:55] no idea what the command name means :s [19:56] olaa [19:56] list? === angel is now known as Guest15618 [20:00] can anyone help me figure out if my server is reachable from an outside network? [20:01] is there any chance to install ubuntu with wibi and to delete windows instalation to remain with ubuntu only ? [20:01] Dukes: no [20:01] Dukes, no, because your installing ubuntu as a program almost inside windows [20:02] Dukes, why not just install it to the computer then delete the partition that windows is located on? [20:02] Dukes, or delete the windows parition when installing ubuntu? [20:03] one more question. I read in wikipedia that xubuntu had problems and it didn't achieve its goals regarding lower RAM use. Is it still problematic? should one install lubuntu instead of xubuntu? they also write that a test carried by distrowatch found that lubuntu uses half the RAM ubuntu/xubuntu uses. so if xubuntu uses as much RAM as ubuntu uses, why use it? [20:03] Glitchd: my dvdrom is dead .. i cant use it anymore [20:04] priXon: Yeah, go with Lubuntu if you are tight on resources [20:04] i have made a usb sticker bootable but when i install is asking me for cdrom [20:04] Dukes, so download the usb installer application and a ubuntu iso and use the application to put ubuntu onto a usb then install from that. [20:04] priXon: I say this though I use Xubuntu for largely aesthetic reasons [20:05] in fact, I want to help a friend that has a notebook and wants something faster then his windows7. I installed ubuntu on his notebook, but it is slower than windows7 [20:05] I was doing updates just now (about 300 of then) and my charger unplugged itself, the window prompted me saying its safer to do it with a charger plugged in.. i plugged it back in and now its just stuck on a black, opaque screen.. [20:05] would it be same to restart? [20:06] yeah, the xubuntu desktop looks nicer. that's why I hoped xubuntu will fit him [20:06] priXon: I would go with Lubuntu if he is seeing performance issues. [20:06] chris_is_me, I cannot boot from a Ubuntu disk, but I went into /dev and this is what I see, not that I can make any sense of it, but I do see the cdrom and also /sr0 http://paste.ubuntu.com/793064/ [20:07] is unity that heavy that it slowers the notebook more than windows7?! [20:07] I have data on a remote system whose backup I would like to take using dd piped to bzip2. But the remote system is old with low prcessing power for compression (and probably dd too). Is it possible to run the command from my end and use my system processing power for the task? [20:07] My major problem other than being older than dirt is I am more dangerous than a gallon of Nitro [20:07] Glitchd: that is the way i used to make the bootable sticker [20:07] priXon, probably... i don't like it, you can switch back to gnome if you like :) [20:07] i followed the tutorial from ubuntu website [20:07] Dukes, bootable sticker? [20:08] yes [20:08] priXon: I imagine something else is going on; ubuntu is typically at least as snappy, if not faster, than Win7 with Aero and all that. [20:08] what do u mean by that? [20:08] i made it with Universal USB installer [20:08] Glitchd: he means a USB stick [20:08] Dukes, why do u want to delete windows tho? [20:08] How do I remove grub (I'm on the live CD).

[20:09] Glitchd: I booted the install CD but found no recovery mode. [20:09] priXon: What sorts of things are slower?

[20:17] no PC [20:17] right, i love ubuntu 11.10 on my dell [20:17] but on that mac, it was abysmall. [20:18] er, abysmal [20:18] <_jason> BussDriver: well I can say I have no problem with ubuntu on my macbook but it's 4,1 [20:18] this was a 6,1 I believe [20:18] Dynamit, at present even my tab key will not complete the names [20:18] So... Ubuntu is slow on updating their packages. Apache2 needs upgrading... What do I do? [20:18] <_jason> !sru | Raliegh [20:18] Raliegh: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [20:19] Okay that totally doesn't help. [20:19] In the slightest. [20:19] i have a small problem with my laptop it my hdmi port don't work to 100% nvidia detect the tv and the name and say it send the signal but the tv don't detect a input signal [20:19] <_jason> Raliegh: do you understand how/why/when updates happen on a stable release in ubuntu? [20:20] but on one of the older Ubuntu i have in this computer the hdmi port have work so it's driver problem to 99% [20:20] I don't really care, no offense. The thing is Apache2 is outdated (by .4, apparently a slowloris fix was introduced) and I need to install it. [20:20] bye [20:21] <_jason> Raliegh: of course you care. It's what you are asking about. [20:21] 11.10 why lmms depends on wine1.2 ?? [20:21] No, I'm asking how to properly upgrade it, not why it isn't updated in the main repository. [20:21] Is it possible to reinstall 10.10 over the top of the 10.10 I now have installed? [20:21] !FS [20:22] <_jason> Raliegh: maybe it is patched for your issue. [20:22] btw, maybe someone here can help me with my problem. [20:22] few months ago the visual effects stopped working for me. I read on the internet that it's related to an update on xorg or something like that, and since then nothing has changed. although other people wrote that the new xorg packages fixed their problems. I tried tweaking my things related to the ati video card but nothing happend. and also if I log out I get a black screen and can't choose to log in, although if i press "backspace" I h [20:22] ear some sounds - meaning I'm inside the box where I usually type the password when doing a log in. what might be the cause of that, and how can I fix it? [20:22] <_jason> Raliegh: the link you don't want to read explains that ubuntu will patch security issues [20:22] if the version in the repository isn't new enough, you might be able to install the testing version, Raliegh [20:22] you usually get an option to install over the older copy [20:22] _jason, well they haven't. So, what I need to figure out is how to update, not why Ubuntu hasn't bothered to do it. [20:23] <_jason> Raliegh: they have. [20:23] haylo, was that meant for me? [20:23] Raliegh: you can build apache yourself if there are no binaries available that works for you.. [20:23] _Jason, repository is 2.2.17, current version (with fix) is 2.2.21 [20:23] <_jason> Raliegh: *sigh* [20:24] Raliegh: fetch the source and build it yourself then [20:24] tobier, I really don't want to have to deal with compiling a source and whatnot. I kind of want this to be as easy as possible, and keep my current config. [20:24] Raliegh, sometimes fixes get backported. If you have a test case that reveals that is not the case you could request a backport of the fix or of the version you need. Usually sys-admins are "control freaks" and compile and roll out their own stuff :) [20:24] <_jason> Raliegh: again, ubuntu will cherry pick security patches and incorporate them into the packages.

[21:04] SVDR: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [21:04] dr_willis, hmm, this seems odd because /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ is actually a directory, and within that dir theres what i think is a list of tablet configs.. eg.

[21:05] SVNDR After you install it, Just change "sessions" when you log in, to XFCE and you will have the lighter environment [21:06] TheExplorer: oh ok.. and ill still have the option to use Ubuntu right?

[21:14] AnonMasochist then use another client [21:14] AnonMasochist: first thing to do is to find the common factor in the crashes, is it the OS, the installation, the memory, the disk etc. if you can't see any errors that explain it in the dmesg or syslog [21:14] SVNDR: With air, blow Opposite of heat exhaust air flow when its off!

[21:19] TheExplorer: your talking about the bar right at the very top yea? with the Option Button, and Network Connection and such? and im supposed to click in the middle where its blank? [21:20] AnonMasochist: how long does it take (on average) between booting up and the system freezing, or can it sometimes continue for a very long time without freezing? [21:20] if I launch a prog from terminal it's good, but if I launch it from a startup-script it behaves differently. Anyone know why? [21:21] SVNDR eeeeeyup Right there. Left click "add to bar" [21:21] SVNDR "add to panel" to be exact. Looking at it right now [21:21] AnonMasochist, just reinstall ubuntu, I've never ever had this freezing problem i've been using 10.04 since it came out, something you installed did this, or you have bad ram [21:21] Random system wide freezes, random intervals, each freeze requiring a hard-reset, sometimes the freezes occur a lot more often when certain programs are running, like Firefox, Mixx, and the Warsow game is the worst for inducing the SYSTEM WIDE FREEZE! [21:22] TheExplorer: 11.10 by anychance? [21:22] SVNDR You can use the bottom too if you want but it might get in the way. [21:22] AnonMasochist, then your ram is bad and or you have a bad gpu [21:22] AnonMasochist: does the display stop changing? does the screen go black? is it possible to switch to the text console with ctrl+alt+F1? [21:22] I have re-installed Ubuntu 6 times from USB, 2 times from CD, SAME PROBLEMS! [21:22] SVNDR Aaaaack... That... Unity desktop... thing. Yeah i have no clue, you have to ask them. [21:22] SVNDR I use oldschool gnome [21:22] AnonMasochist: also, what versions of Ubuntu have you tried? Which demonstrate the problem? [21:22] AnonMasochist, well then try a different version of UBUNTU [21:23] TheExplorer: haha ow i see, whats the app called again? ill see if i can find [21:23] unity is working well for veiwing documents and general academic stuff for me [21:23] what was the dd command to layout the iso into a usb flash drive??

[21:24] SVNDR its a CPU Throttle. I dont know how to add that to 11.10 [21:24] AnonMasochist, as i've stated before its bad ram or a bad gpu [21:24] yeah you have to drop of untiy i think [21:24] TheExplorer: hope ill find a way, sounds usefull [21:24] Y-DNA: there's an application which will do that for you, system disk creator, iirc (or unetbootin if you have an older version of Ubuntu) [21:24] Y-DNA: correction, Startup Disk Creator [21:25] AnonMasochist, its real common on ancient graphics cards and old ram [21:25] if I launch an app from a terminal it works perfectly, but if I launch it from a startup-script it behaves differently. Anyone know why? [21:25] The package libstdc++6-4.5-dev needs to be reinstalled <--- "cant find archive for it" anyone know what i can do? [21:25] dwatkins_: I am not on any install, unfortunately and don't have a CD/DVD burner. That's the situation here.

[21:26] hello [21:27] I built my computer from new parts last year, I can't use the £200 graphics card 'cos of OpenGL problems and no current working driver, I'm stuck with Intel I3 On-board graphics [21:27] hi timtom [21:27] system is NOT ancient [21:27] ram is 4GB Corsair [21:27] 2 X 2GB [21:27] AnonMasochist: even if you are angry - no need to "shout" all the time :) [21:27] got it --> "dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX" [21:27] how to get a mic working on ubuntu?

[21:29] maybe [21:29] acidfrost: I get the impression he's talking and not listening [21:29] haylo: screw the graphics card, I'll live with On-board graphics for now, I just want this freezing issue sorted! [21:29] AnonMasochist: do other operating systems work ok on this PC? [21:29] Lozzy_uk, yeah i'm about ask for the ops to -q him [21:29] dwatkins_: my goal is a LiveUSB [21:29] any ideas?

[21:30] :( [21:30] Lozzy_uk, it stands to reason that when a user talks and not listens that that user might be a bot [21:30] Y-DNA: from what operating system? [21:30] i use debians bpo kernel for running my high end gpu with no driver AnonMasochist [21:30] Y-DNA: no, dd will not show progress [21:30] I have tried Linux Min 9 XFCE from a Unetbootin Live USB, and although LinuxMint has major problems on my netbook, surprisingly none whatsoever with this system. [21:31] AnonMasochist, then use Mint [21:31] acidfrost: bloody clever one if that's true...I suspect he's just a lowly human :) [21:31] i hear sound but just can't use mic [21:31] Greetings #Ubuntu [21:31] elops, you are having trouble using your mic? [21:31] oi [21:31] how hard is to add progress to dd?? [21:32] AnonMasochist, if we don't get some form of a response to what we are telling you then i'll ask the ops to quiet you [21:32] fala black [21:32] mobius420 yes [21:32] that's sheer sazyness [21:32] AnonMasochist: have you tested the hard disk or tried another? any errors in /var/log/messages about disk problems? [21:32] elops have you tried adjusting your mixer settings? [21:32] Helo un1xdroop [21:32] elops, are you using pulse ? [21:32] Y-DNA: you can make dd show progress, but it's a little tricky [21:32] now I don't know how long will it take to perform the full operation [21:32] Y-DNA: how fast is the USB device and port? [21:32] there should be a switch for that. [21:33] where do i config it do i need to install pulseaudio [21:33] TheExplorer: ok just downloaded xfce4-cpufreq-plugin from the software centre, not sure how im supposed to use it becuae i cant even find it.. [21:33] like I said, so many other Ubuntu 10.04 users have reported my problem, got nowhere, gave up, said goodbye to Ubuntu., I WANT UBUNTU, I AM ACCUSTOMED TO UBUNTU, I just want the freezes to go away! (*quietly weeps*) [21:33] hello all, using vmware sometimes my keyboard goes crazy, the Shift and Ctrl key dies, is there any way to "reload the keyboard" without reloading the X ? [21:33] mobius420: no but i probably could [21:33] where do i config it do i need to install pulseaudio [21:33] Y-DNA: many applications do have a progress bar, some command line ones even, but dd is quite basic; you can add progress if you want, though, but you need to know how large your source file is [21:33] AnonMasochist: I heard Linux Mint is on the rise, specially how they are fixing Gnome3. [21:33] AnonMasochist: please don't shout [21:34] elops - I don't think you need to install pulse [21:34] what to do? [21:34] I hate Gnome 3, I want the Gnome 2 Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.04 is PERFECT for all my needs, I just want the freezing to end! [21:35] dwatkins_: is the ubuntu iso, according to ls --> 733261824 [21:35] Hello, sentient life forms. Can anyone advice me on what command line do I need to put in Startup Applications to make command run after a delay? [21:35] Y-DNA: you can apparently find out dd's progress whilst it's running, in a way [21:35] where do i config it do i need to install pulseaudio [21:35] AnonMasochist: Linux Mint what you're looking for [21:35] ok i see that what one would i need [21:35] Y-DNA: LM is too buggy for me [21:35] hi! .... how can i create a 'live usb' ... i have the 'iso' and i tried unebooten but it did not work!! [21:36] AnonMasochist: it's not [21:36] any ideas? [21:36] i hear sound but just can't use mic [21:36] why can't some clever dev just release a .DEB package that fixes all these freezing and crashing problems!?! [21:36] elops, if you are using ALSA you might be able to check your mic using alsamixer [21:36] Y-DNA: if you send the dd process the USR1 signal, it will print out its current statistics [21:36] I give up on my issue. Im formatting the whole damn thing. [21:36] munzxttt: use startup disk creator [21:37] Okay, I have figured it out. It was 'sleep'. Totally unexpected. [21:37] AnonMasochist: ha ha, I am creating a LiveUSB myself [21:37] elops: see private dialog buddy [21:37] elops, from terminal type alsamixer [21:37] then make sure your mic is turned on [21:37] paulsomebody, not sure you can do that directly, but you could put make a script with the sleep command and the real command, and then add that script to your startup apps [21:37] autif : it is available in the software center?! [21:37] AnonMasochist: like this dd if=Downloads/kubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX [21:38] DAAAYYUUUUUUMM!!!! [21:38] now I gotta reboot :( [21:38] Y-DNA: I tested LM on my netbook, although it was running from a live USB, it wasn't recognizing and USB sticks I pluged in, not buggy you say!?! [21:38] glebihan: I think I can. If I put 'sleep 10 && …' in the terminal, it works. [21:38] and = any* [21:38] glebihan: I see no reason why it would not work as expected in the system startup. [21:38] can anyone tell me how to kill the webserver daemon which runs automatically in 11.04? [21:38] paulsomebody, in the terminal, yes, but I'm not sure it'll work in startup applications (worth the try though) [21:39] I am wishing to run a development server but it cannot run with the webserver already running [21:39] In UBUNTU, I hear sound but just can't use mic [21:39] AnonMasochist: I suggest you check out your hard disk [21:40] elops: try gentoo, sound works outta da box [21:40] hey all- having a weird problem on my netbook where the unity bar on the left seems like it is active (like when I click on things in the right space they happen) but it is invisible [21:40] i dont want to try gentoo [21:40] im in #ubuntu [21:40] /etc/init.d/apache2 stop [21:40] mobius420: you can also use "service apache2 stop" [21:40] Y-DNA, are you here just to suggest people to use other distributions ? [21:40] elops: how about enabling the mic?? that should do it. [21:41] I am an IT Technician, I HATE Mac and Windows, 'cos they suck and are un-ethical, immoral, and now I hate Linux, AAAARRGH!!!!

[21:43] i have a hdd usb [21:44] hd usb not reconized ???$* [21:44] bastidrazor, stands to reason that he may just be a bot, he doesn't acknowledge anything we say [21:44] SHOULD i use pulseaudio manager???? [21:44] elops: I found that padevchooser helped [21:45] Google 'Ubuntu 10.04 Freezing Problem', look at the forums, then give me a solution, 'cos at the moment, all I'm hearing is diagnostics that are ridiculously obvious, that I have of-course tried myself! [21:45] Installed: (none) means it's not installed? [21:45] AnonMasochist: the results you get from that query are too generic, that are most likely not caused by the same problem [21:45] shades: correct. [21:45] padevchooser ? [21:45] can the Live ISO install packages? [21:45] bastidrazor, if he's not then he's trolling, i mean come on he asked the same thing 20 times said other users reported the error and then gave no further information, hasn't acknowledged much of what anyone has said [21:46] either [21:46] Y-DNA: yes, it can [21:46] ok [21:46] AnonMasochist: just a question from the side line: why are you insisting on 10.04? [21:46] elops: yeah, you'll need to install it, but it might help, sorry but I don't know much else about pulseaudio [21:46] AnonMasochist: have you tried 11.10? [21:47] I am currently using Intel I3 On-Board Graphics, graphics THAT generic would of-course work by default with Ubuntu 10.04 I assume. [21:47] acidfrost: I suspect AnonMasochist needs to use a better IRC client, as apparently empathy isn't scrolling [21:47] Would a question about package files be appropriate here? [21:47] AnonMasochist: actually no, that was a bit broken for the VGA port on laptops up to a few weeks ago unless you were running a kernel from a PPA [21:47] dwatkins_, i suspect he's just ignoring everything we've said [21:48] AlanBell [21:48] In UBUNTU, I hear sound but just can't use mic [21:48] what to do? [21:49] guntbert: Ubuntu 10.04 is where everything (except freezing) was okay, Ubuntu onwards has too many changes, Ubuntu 10.04 is LTS, besides, I just set EVERYTHING up!, all my programs are installed, all my files are where I want them, configurations etc... [21:49] AnonMasochist: have you tried booting from a liveCD and choosing the memtest86 option and leaving it running overnight? [21:49] elops: install pavucontrol and play around with it [21:49] what was the command that would tell you what dependencies a package had? [21:49] AlanBell: yes, of-couse, tested okay. [21:49] course* [21:50] AnonMasochist: yeah, but it might provide interesting and useful information if you discover that say 11.10 works on a liveCD [21:50] jbwiv: Sorry, I had to take care of some other things. I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [21:50] jbwiv: That's just how 11.10 works now by default I believe. [21:51] elops, what version ubuntu? [21:51] jbwiv: You just go to System Settings - Displays - and enable all three monitors and place them how you want. [21:51] intel gma3100 ... graphics seem super slow.. monitor shows up as unknown in displays.. resolutions is right... what am I missing? [21:51] jesus christ!! I have to reboot :( [21:51] everybody get 1 thing straight okay, I have set up everything how I want it, I am NOT changing to another OS, I like Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I am sticking to it, I just want the damned freezing problem to go away, SYSTEM WIDE FREEZES SUCK!!!

[21:52] Glitchd, elops in PM [21:53] AnonMasochist: please accept that we don't owe you anything, so we don't need to "get 1 thing straight" - we are all volunteers and try to help as well as possible [21:53] dwatkins_: sames as everyone else in the forums, x-session errors [21:53] AnonMasochist: you need to provide actionable information that people can use to help you [21:53] you mean I should send the paycheck I got from here back [21:53] ;-( [21:53] AnonMasochist, what are you having problems with? [21:53] AnonMasochist: if the system had frozen, it couldn't have written to the logfiles, check against the exact time of the freeze in the messagelog and xorg log. [21:54] AnonMasochist: does it still respond on the network after the display freezes? can you still ping it or ssh to it? [21:54] I wouldn't bother answering him , its either a bot or he's here to troll [21:54] I am currently being forced to use crappy Opera Internet Browser, 'cos for some reason, Ubuntu doesn't crash much when that's running. [21:54] over time I have come to the realization that ppl are victim of their own fault rather than the OS. [21:54] can you ctrl+alt+f1 to a terminal? [21:54] it was apt-get something something ?? [21:54] i can't remember ;( [21:54] AnonMasochist: could it be an overheating problem? clean the fans? [21:54] linux is supposed to be rocks solid, if the freeze is system wide the only wrong thing is the user. [21:55] apt-cache depends packagenameher [21:55] AlanBell: I'm not a network admin, I am an IT Techie, no overheating, hardware is all okay, I can assure you of that. [21:55] and we tried earlier to help him but apparently nothing got through [21:55] after installing php5-pgsql do I need to do anything special for this to allow me to have php5 interact with postgress? [21:55] I agree with AlanBell's suggestions, check console and sensors. [21:55] AnonMasochist: do you have another computer you can run a ping and telnet test from? [21:55] AnonMasochist: not asking for any advanced network stuff, just can you ping it? [21:56] DEFINITELY NO RELATED HARDWARE PROBLEMS [21:56] how can I ping it with no local network!?! [21:56] AnonMasochist: we're trying to help, please don't shout [21:56] shades, apt-cache depends (package name) [21:56] AnonMasochist: we don't know about your network configuration, or lack of it [21:56] AnonMasochist: if I suggest a command I would take an arrow to the knee. [21:56] there doesn't need to actually be something overheating, for a sensor to report it as such...

[22:01] budmang, have you tried installing proprietary drivers? [22:01] mobius420, you shouldn't install that on ubuntu. apache is in the repos and that's the one you should use [22:01] Y-DNA: I'm way too poor to afford a PXE server. [22:02] budmang, i'm just using the default 10.04 [22:02] * Y-DNA somehow doesn't believe masochist is an IT at all. [22:02] budmang, you could try installing the intel drivers [22:02] acidfrost: this is 11.10... maybe I should try 10.? [22:02] anyone know what the problem with my amdcccle might be? It crashes without any error report(running in terminal) when I click apply after trying to change my dual monitor setup. [22:02] im tracking posts per minute starting now [22:02] if I launch an app from a terminal it works perfectly, but if I launch it from a startup-script it behaves differently. Anyone know why? [22:02] before you do that budmang open up system settings and click additional drivers [22:02] budmang, you could if you don't mind losing your stuff, but it'd be easier to try the drivers [22:03] blitz, here is the output of that grep [22:03] http://pastebin.com/6tXXSfA6 [22:03] is that a pid? [22:03] that means no apache server is running [22:03] Lozzy_uk: the environment might be different, what app and how did you add the startup script [22:03] blitz: the only ones that show up there are for the 2nd nvidia card(which Im not using or displaying anything currently) working on the first card 1st.

I put a LOT of time into getting it right. How can I undo it?

[22:08] mhm [22:08] mobius420: ok, not sure then. If you just want a LAMP server I would do sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin which gets everything all set up and installs a GUI tool on http://localhost/phpmyadmin for poking about in the mysql database. Much easier for us to support than xampp [22:08] AlanBell: the freezing is usually triggered during the use of certain programs, I have identified Firefox, Mixxx, and the game Warsow are the main triggers for the freeze, especially Warsow game.

It would be couter-productive for me to switch servers at this pint [22:14] if you get red stuff, remove some ram and test again until you have isolated the bad stick [22:14] but again thanks for the tips :) [22:14] mobius420, apache is in the repos, and is just as easy to conifgure [22:14] just a process conflict, I will get it sorted somehow :) [22:14] mobius420: it isn't switching servers, it is the same thing, but packaged and preconfigured [22:14] mobius420, xampp=apache+mysql+php so it's the same thing [22:15] glebihan, oh okay [22:15] My Mini ITX system has a 120MM fan on the front, ans sufficient hard to find scaled down Akasa miniature up-right heatsink with fan and heatpipes, and right next to it, a PSU with a fan dragging out warm air. no overheating for and I3 with on-board graphics here!

After booting the system after 10 minutes CPU fan starts to work endlessly on a max speed. I have checked CPU temp it's normal (around 50 degrees) [22:15] AnonMasochist: run "watch sensors" in a teminal and start the offending applications, just to be sure (you might need to configure lm-sensors) [22:16] AnonMasochist: there is the possibility of an overheating northbridge... but I just got here & don't know much about your problem [22:17] !ubuntu+1 | cyxob [22:17] cyxob: Precise Pangolin is the codename for Ubuntu 12.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [22:17] Chipzzz: he's sure it isn't a hardware problem but hasn't really explained why he is so sure [22:18] wow I can't belive I've never heard of 'watch sensors' I've been needing a temperature sensor program for soo freakin' long!

[22:18] those mah temps. [22:19] AnonMasochist: I mean to run it and examine the output whilst the machine "freezes" [22:19] that's the output of 'watch sensors' [22:19] auronandace: it sounds like he has a lot invested in high end hardware... feels secure in its stability [22:19] I would imagine temp1 is the CPU [22:19] AnonMasochist, I know I use it. But I have 6 different temps. What is all that stuff... [22:19] "watch" will repeat the command every 2 seconds, AnonMasochist - you should be able to have it in another window and see it when running one or two of the applications which appear to lead to the "freeze" [22:19] <_jason> blitz: alt-f7 [22:19] also, please don't paste to this channel, please use pastebin [22:20] Are the Server CDs "live" or just for installation?

[22:22] _jason: no but if you know a way to use apt-get to do it sure [22:23] <_jason> wxl: I don't know what you mean by "apt" [22:23] _jason: apt-cache and apt-get are both part of apt [22:23] wxl, why exactly don't you want to use aptitude for that ? [22:23] BussDriver, wow...so it's working with no special config. Cool...i'll give that a shot. thanks! [22:23] glebihan: because i don't freaking like it :D [22:23] Hi, does anybody know a tool with which I can fill out PDF forms ? [22:23] wxl, well, that's too bad because apt can't do that ;) [22:24] register password [22:24] glebihan: can't do that or you think it can't do it? let's remember apt(itude) is an apt front end [22:24] how do you register again? with nickserv?

[22:24] _jason, ty [22:24] wxl, I'm pretty sure it can't [22:24] wxl: you can poke about in /var/log/apt to find out when it was installed [22:24] Seveas: that's one possibility but a risky one [22:25] wxl: i would check your dependencies... it sounds like they aren't all met [22:25] Chipzzz: ? [22:25] jbwiv: correct, all defaults. [22:25] Chipzzz: not sure you are answering the same question there! [22:25] wxl, no, not risky at all. apt-get will ask for a confirmation. YOu caould also do apt-get -n remove package foe a dry run [22:25] <_jason> wxl: it's not really risky; you can make it less risky with the --simulate flag I guess [22:25] Suspend works on laptop, hibernate does not. How do I adjust advanced power options for telling Ubuntu not to ever hibernate on idle? [22:25] Don't find any setting in GUI [22:25] _jason: now there's an idea [22:26] there must be a better way to do this [22:26] I mean apt-get -s remove [22:26] <_jason> yeah, use aptitude :P [22:26] FUCK UBUNTU, I'M SWITCHIN' TO ANOTHER Linux BASED OS, AND AT THIS RATE, FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, SO WITH MOST OTHER UBUNTU USERS, GOOD DAY, UBUNTU IS SCREWED!!! [22:26] Jon--: hibernate is being dropped altogether I think, except for whitelisted hardware [22:26] thx folx [22:26] AlanBell, That doesn't help my current install... [22:27] AlanBell: well, we tried to help [22:27] wxl: "apt-cache rdepends but it seems to pull up packages that i don't have installed" suggests that you may have unsatisfied dependencies. Aptitude is very good at resolving such conflicts [22:27] AlanBell, Thnx for update though [22:27] <_jason> oops [22:27] rage quit... [22:28] lordjj: very much so :-/ [22:28] lordjj, hey, if that makes him feel better, so be it. Hope another distro at least keeps him on the free software side [22:29] any subversion experts here? [22:29] wouldn't call myself an expert, but shoot [22:29] hardly an expert, I know a little.... [22:29] Jon--: what version of ubuntu are you running? [22:29] I do a svn ci $filename [22:29] Alan, 11.04 [22:29] Hey all! I have a setup I'm required to run for a piece of hardware that needs setup. Near the end of it's setup, it runs- "rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules" , which would remove my net rules. I am then told to reboot. Will rebooting auto-re-build the persistent.rules file??? Will my net work afterwords? [22:30] and vim pops up with a diff every single time, I want to turn it off [22:30] <_jason> zack: there's likely a subversion channel where you can ask for help [22:30] zack: svn ci -m "Message goes here" [22:30] diff or list of files? [22:30] ZooMonkey: I would put a copy of your rules file somewhere safe just in case [22:31] haven't seen it pop up a diff, but popping up $EDITOR with a list of changed files is default behaviour as it wants a commit message. See somsip's message for a noninteractive way of doing that. [22:31] yeah, it annoyingly splits the windows in vim and defaults to the non message window, something I want to turn off [22:31] zack, I usually just do: svn commit -m "my message" [22:31] it is also after the install of vnc. Would that make sense? Would setting up VNC need that to be changed I wonder? [22:31] ZooMonkey: it should. That file just keeps track of the interfaces. [22:31] And gets rebuilt on boot, pretty sure [22:31] somsip, dot-slash nice tips cheers [22:31] zack, hmm, I didn't know svn could do that, I'd like to turn that on :) Anyway, look through ~/.subversion [22:31] Chipzzz: Yeah not a bad idea [22:32] bean: OK, I had a suspicion it might. Thanks :) [22:32] Alan, I'm attempting a suspend now for debugging. I'll let you know when I'm back [22:33] Seveas, I can do it manually if I need it. But it can be a bit annoying because it highlights the wrong vim window meaning I have to C - W then navigate to it every time :( [22:33] Alan, Back, only hibernate fails, suspend is fine. [22:33] zack, maybe you installed a vim plugin that does this? [22:34] Jon--: http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/disable-suspend-and-hibernate-ubuntu/ [22:34] <_jason> Seveas, zack: vim plugin would be my guess too [22:36] hello , when will firefox 9.0 and thunderbird 9.0 hit the ubuntu repositories ? [22:36] AlanBell, Hopefully I am correct in hibernate being the problem and it's not something weird with having it suspended too long. Thanks [22:36] As I see there is no simple FOSS GUI for adding annotions in PDFs [22:37] hmmm, could be, I'll take a look [22:38] well now thats weird I could have sworn the update manager was in the dock yesterday it seems to have disappeared [22:40] is there any linux gnome/kda "auto mount" application? So taht i can mount images bin/iso/dmg etc just with click? [22:40] is there any linux gnome/kde "auto mount" application? So taht i can mount images bin/iso/dmg etc just with click? [22:41] ah, just did mv ~/.vim ~/.vim_nope [22:41] and its all fine [22:42] where can I obtain all dictionary files that come inside the */usr/share/dict* folder in ubuntu's in different languages?? [22:42] someone had sneaked a line into our shared vim configs, grrrrr [22:42] trying to install ubuntu 11.04 from USB and it keeps looking for a cdrom drive that I don't have please help === SVNDR is now known as svndr [22:45] hiltonmagk, sounds like your bios is set to boot from cd [22:45] nardev, the "gvfs-backends" package provides a tool called "archive mounter" that can be used to mount such files. I know it works on gnome and integrates with nautilus, not sure about kde [22:46] hiltonmagk: does it see the USB drive or does the bios just complain about no CD? [22:46] it's the Ubuntu install that complains [22:46] it boots right into the installer fine [22:47] hiltonmagk, wow, that sound broke [22:47] lol you might say that [22:47] hi [22:48] what is the easiest way to setup a "global" ubuntu repositoy with a bunch of debs. [22:48] hiltonmagk: did you MD5 test the ISO you used? [22:48] i want to reach it through my network, not with file:// [22:48] felipe_Brz: there are packages for several languages, such as wspanish, wpolish, wogerman: apt-cache search wordlist; seems to show most of them [22:48] irocksu: do you mean like a locel repo? [22:49] ActionParsnip: Yes [22:49] hiltonmagk: so, when you try to run it as a live CD, it complains about no CD? [22:49] hi, that svn/vim problem was caused by a sneaky file in ~/.vim/ftplugin/svn.vim [22:49] ActionParsnip: yeah, but i do not want scanpackage [22:49] all fixed now bwahahaha, thanks all === sertaconay is now known as sertac === jon____ is now known as jbendotnet [22:49] irocksu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocalAptGetRepository [22:49] greetings #ubuntu [22:50] irocksu, reprepro [22:50] whats the most compatible http server with ubuntu? [22:50] trism: oh cool thanks [22:50] Chipzzzz: I'm installing the server edition [22:50] meway, lighttpd, apache or nginx would be perfect [22:50] hello , when will firefox 9.0 and thunderbird 9.0 hit the ubuntu repositories ? [22:50] hiltonmagk: when does it complain about the lack of a CD? [22:50] yumbo, something easy and does not take hours to configure [22:50] meway, I found ligttpd to be very easy [22:51] yumbo, works with php? [22:51] sure [22:51] mysql? [22:51] Chipzzz: When it's doing through the install steps I think after it detects keyboard settings [22:51] meway, I think, yes [22:52] yumbo, sudo apt-get "???" [22:52] meway, lighttpd [22:52] thanks guys i will look into your suggestions :) [22:52] and for php and mysql: lighttpd mysql-client mysql-server php5-mysql php5-fpm [22:53] hiltonmagk: hmm... that doesn't sound good. Can you burn the ISO to a CD? [22:53] yumbo, forgot "install" deh >.< [22:53] I used Linux Live USB Creator if that means anything [22:53] If anyone would be willing to help me identify an unknown webserver daemon running out of the box in ubuntu 11.04 please hit me up. So far no one can identify it [22:53] 11.10 rather [22:53] Chipzzz: No CdRom Drive === svndr is now known as SVNDR [22:54] mobius420, there is not webservice running by default on 11.10 [22:55] How do i use the command 'pwmconfig' ? I have downloaded 'lm-sensors' which is supposed to activate that command, except i still cannot use it.. any suggestions? [22:55] hiltonmagk: sounds like a problem in the USB creation... it might not have been expecting to be written to a USB stick & has hard-coded stuff requiring a CD [22:55] SVNDR: did you run sensors-detect ? [22:56] I thought the owner of a directory/file could chown that directory/file... [22:56] robbbie: yea i did, should i of configured something in there? [22:56] however that doesn't seem to be true ... [22:57] I have a web server script that creates dome directories and the ownership is www-data:www-data upon creation. I want to chang ownership, but it seems that the apache user (www-data) doesn't have permissions to do that [22:57] even though the directory is 775 and www-data:www-data, can someone explain? Or, do I need to go to #ubuntu-server? [22:58] argh, think I might have found my answer on the chown man page [22:58] <_jason> tash: yes, only root can do that :) [22:58] robbbie: was there a certain question i was supposed to answer, YES or NO too? [22:58] so, guess I'm left with creating a cron to do it instead of apache doing it all in one whack huh? [22:58] SVNDR: don't think so i answered yes to everything i believe [22:58] SVNDR: pwmconfig right? [22:59] robbbie: same, as i was told to.. still cannot run it though :\ yep pwmconfig [22:59] <_jason> tash: you can either use ACLs or you can use setgid on the parent directory (assuming you can make the parent directory's group the group you want the files to belong to) [22:59] glebihan, THANK YOU [22:59] am I lucky enough to have someone here in the room who knows how to get dual monitors to work with 11.10? [22:59] anyone know much about legal rights to swf games and sites? [22:59] nardev, you're welcome [23:00] <_jason> meway: not an ubuntu support question [23:00] _jason: the parent directory is set to the group I want [23:00] robbbie: think i know, might have to apt-get install fancontrol first [23:00] meway: try #legal or #law something like that [23:00] <_jason> tash: well if you just need the files in that directory to have group X when they are created (not recursively into subdirectories), then just setgid the directory [23:00] hello , when will firefox 9.0 and thunderbird 9.0 hit the ubuntu repositories ? [23:00] so, /data/home/server_archive would be the parent directory in my case _jason [23:00] I am using 10.04 [23:00] am I missing much my not updating? [23:00] I need recursive in that server_archive directory [23:00] I am a student [23:00] just learning linux [23:01] Guest5020: yes, you are missing out on experience :) [23:01] <_jason> Guest5020: try a live cd of 11.10 and see. If you like 10.04, nothing wrong with using it while it is still supported [23:01] hiltonmagK: I see the problem... it isn't intended for the server edition & wants libraries needed by the live CD [23:01] Guest5020: your missing out on having a burning hot CPU if your on a laptop.. from my exsperience (right now) anyways [23:01] Guest5020: imo if you want to learn linux dive into something harder than standard guis [23:01] is there any way I can get rid of all the tags of 500 pictures in a simple manner? [23:02] meerkats: imagemagick should be able to [23:02] _jason: so if I need /data/home/server_archive recursively set to blah:blahblah ... should I just set a cron to do that every so often or whatever? Every time the script I'm talking about is invoked, new directories are created within server_archive with www-data:www-data [23:02] what linux distro is good for me then? [23:02] Arch? [23:03] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu no longer has karmic - how do I update? [23:03] SLACKWARE UBER ALLES! [23:03] Guest5020: how much time do you have to spare? [23:03] <_jason> tash: no, you should use ACLs [23:03] dang, unfamilair with them ... [23:03] Guest5020: got an hour then try arch, it's a blank slate everything you want you have to get it yourself and configure it [23:04] /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed got that result after running pwmconfig.. does that mean i dont have any fans.. or sensors? because i know i have a fan, i can hear it [23:04] wooops!!! [23:04] !eol | jbendotnet [23:04] jbendotnet: 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 [23:04] did not mean the underlines [23:04] but is it ok for a n00b [23:05] I have been using ubuntu for 2 years [23:05] I am getting the need to learn more [23:05] <_jason> tash: just add the "acl" option in fstab to the corresponding partition, then give « man setfacl » and « man getfacl » a read [23:05] ActionParsnip: cheers [23:05] ActionParsnip: and doh [23:05] _jason: thank you. [23:05] I'll give that a shot later. [23:06] <_jason> tash: I'm not aware of a good non-man-page reference for them, but you want to read about default ACLs === sertac is now known as sertaconay [23:07] what's the basic idea of an ACL? [23:07] I'm used to an ACL in Cisco, not linux :P [23:07] no one have any thoughts on dual monitors with 11.10? [23:08] <_jason> tash: I'm not familiar with ACL in cisco. Basically ACLs let you have permissions for more than one group/user and also let you set default permissions that are applied to files [23:10] SVNDR: fancontrol package take care of it? [23:10] jbendotnet: personally I'd just clean install Oneiric or take a chance and install precise :) [23:12] 1;1;128;128;1;0x/close [23:13] Hi folks. I'm trying to install the gnome networkmanager applet in KDE, to see if it works better than the KDE one. I'm on Kubuntu 11.10. [23:13] hi [23:13] In previous versions the package was nm-applet. That doesn't seem to exist anymore. [23:13] What package(s) do I need here? [23:13] im trying to run cadsoft eagle - pcb editor [23:13] i can run it from the command line [23:14] but if i try to run it by double clicking, or the launcher menu, it fails [23:14] any ideas why? [23:14] robbbie: yeah, it did, but the feedback didnt look good... /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed got that result after running pwmconfig.. does that mean i dont have any fans.. or sensors? because i know i have a fan, i can hear it [23:14] Hi, when I connect to a 802.11g AP, does Ubuntu use iwlist and iwconfig utilities? Because I have trouble connecting using those through CLI [23:14] Laurenceb__, right click it and select properties, see what command its issuing to launch the program [23:15] SVNDR: lack of adequate sensors possibly? really not sure [23:15] just the path to the binary [23:15] salem [23:15] hi ! [23:15] Crell: I suggest wicd instead, gnome network manager is the same app as the kde one but with a different frontend, so is testing nothing different [23:15] Laurenceb__, its the correct path? [23:16] ActionParsnip: Is that a gui, and does it handle vpns? [23:16] yes [23:16] i tried setting chmod a+x [23:16] anyone know what could possibly be using port 443 out of the box in ubuntu? [23:16] In the past the kde network manager frontend was buggy with wifi and vpns, but the gnome one worked. No idea why, but it did. [23:16] Laurenceb__, then check to make sure its marked as executable then [23:16] https ? [23:16] and if so how to stop it [23:16] robbbie: hoping so, well i downloaded a CPU throttle, but that doesnt seem to be helping eaither.. ive set it as low as possible, and it still heats up (no difference), turn it all the way to max, and the exact same thing [23:17] Crell: afaik, yes [23:17] mobius420, get off your browser [23:17] SVNDR: i remember i had a dell d410, pentium M cpu and that thing just ran hot in ubuntu.. that was like 7.04 probably [23:18] edbian, say what? [23:18] Hm. [23:18] Laurenceb__, ? [23:18] * Crell downloads. [23:18] mobius420: try: netstat -a | grep 443 === duckxxx is now known as duckxx [23:18] mobius420, are you connected in your browser to any https sites? then you're system will be using port 443 outgoing [23:19] robbbie: its doing my head in.. nothing i do is helping.. it gets that hot that it burns my skin to touch it [23:19] brb [23:19] Crell: you can always use CLI to setup VPN if it doesn't [23:19] SVNDR: when was the last time you ran windows on that machine? [23:19] * Crell twitches. [23:19] robbbie: about 2 days ago [23:20] SVNDR: and heat was a nonissue ? [23:20] robbbie: non-exsistant would be a better word lol [23:20] robbbie: cool as a cucumber [23:20] lol [23:21] Crell: apt-get install network-manager-gnome then apt-get remove network-manager-kde then make the gnome one launch at boot-up [23:22] hello [23:22] Pyrox, hi [23:22] hello [23:22] owenll: But network-manager-gnome isn't executable. At least when I try to run it on the command line it doesn't show up in tab completion. [23:23] is there a windows games emulator on ubuntu [23:23] can someone please tell me why my syslinux does not work with encryption neither md5 nor sha1?, my syslinux.cfg http://pastebin.com/Tjs3QExP [23:23] owenll: Confirmed, "command not found". [23:23] atvr, playonlinux? [23:23] hi edbian [23:24] atvr, google "playonlinux" [23:24] atvr, should be the first result [23:24] Pyrox, md5 and sha1 are hashing algorithms, NOT encryption [23:25] edbian, , u r right, but as u can see in the file Id put the hash as u said [23:25] I am trying to start my xampp server but I get an error message saying there is another webserver with SSL running on my computer. I have checked for Apache and httpd, but I am stuck. Xampp seems to be hamstrung by whatever the problem may be [23:25] nmap on the local host shows https on port 443 open [23:25] in the pastebin,sorry [23:26] edbian, do u notice any mistake in the file?,it works correctly, and also with pass but not with hash [23:26] Pyrox, I'm not sure [23:26] mobius420, can you show us the output of ps -e here: paste.ubuntu.com [23:26] ActionParsnip: How does one run wicd? When I try, all I get is a message "rename failed". [23:27] edbian, sure one moment :) [23:27] Crell: if you reboot, it will start at boot [23:27] Oh. [23:27] Do I need to uninstall knetworkmanager first? Or just kill it after reboot? [23:27] thnx anyway edbian ,np [23:27] * Crell doesn't want to rip it out yet if he doesn't have to. [23:27] Crell: I would, just for neatness [23:27] Pyrox, sure :) [23:28] Crell: could reboot and test, if its bad then rip it out etc [23:29] edbian, here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/793271/ [23:29] edbian, PID 2342? [23:29] mobius420, reading... [23:30] hi [23:31] ActionParsnip: Same error after reboot. [23:32] where do I configure my mouse? [23:32] mobius420, I"m not sure what 2342 is, kill it [23:32] edbian, I killed pid 2342 and attempted to start my xampp server, same result. [23:33] mobius420, I'm not sure what server it's seeing [23:33] mobius420, I don't see any listed here [23:33] something is using port 443 and I do not know what [23:33] edbian, https [23:33] mobius420, didn't you kill an apache process earlier ? [23:33] glebihan, mp [23:33] glebihan, no it werent me :P [23:33] mobius420, I know. I don't see any process that I recognize as a server [23:34] kk [23:34] whatever it is, it's running out of the box [23:34] a fresh install [23:36] I was middway through do-release-upgrade and had a console malfunction - now when I try again I get "WARNING:root:estimate_kernel_size_in_boot() returned '0'?" and it just hangs [23:36] ActionParsnip: Any idea? === zaba_ is now known as Guest39038 [23:37] jbendotnet: you may have to do a clean install [23:39] Chipzzz: really? BUGGER [23:40] jbendotnet: sounds like you have data at risk...? [23:41] We have an issue with 11.04 where we've got foobar running in Wine and whenever we change the stream in foobar it's changing the alsamixer settings. Does anyone else have any experience with this or know of a way to prevent that from happening? [23:41] Chipzzz: more a lack of time now to start from scratch [23:42] jbendotnet: happily, that's better than the alternative... a clean install usually only takes 1/2 hour or so [23:42] ... rebuilding data can take much longer [23:42] Chipzzz: how does that affect all my installed libs etc? [23:42] Chipzzz: setting up servers again [23:43] Chipzzz: there is data on here === SVNDR is now known as svndr [23:44] the command sha1pass or md5pass works for someone? [23:45] jbednotnet: it depends on how the machine is configured... best to make a copy of /home somewhere else if you can before you start [23:46] ...server configs are more difficult to save [23:46] Hi. I've been having a weird problem for quite some time, I just now have time to investigate it... Occasionally, fonts in Firefox render partiall cut off. You can see it in the lowercase u's in this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/M2ej1.png Anyone know whats going on? [23:47] nickmoeck: with luck, you may only have a corrupted font file [23:48] Chipzzz: if it was a corrupted font file, it wouldn't still happen on a new install. And it only happens sometimes. [23:48] hello - is it possible to make ubuntu server provide indexing services for samba shares? [23:48] nickmoeck: you are probably right... it's beginning to sound like a bad video card [23:48] hi i am having problems with quicktime mov video playback from my canon camera . . . it is all green in VLC but windows VLC it works fine [23:49] ActionParsnip: Hm, OK, I have the wicd UI loading. But when I try to connect to my access point it claims my password is bad. I have confirmed I'm using the right one, however. [23:49] 9/win 9 [23:49] Chipzzz: once backed up, what's the process to install fresh? [23:49] i get a gstreamer error if i try to play it in movieplayer === svndr is now known as SVNDR [23:50] jbendotnet: is everything in one disk partition? [23:50] and if i try to play it in dragon player i can see top half of video and bottom half is all green [23:50] (except swap, of course) [23:51] Chipzzz: it's a VM [23:51] Chipzzz: a VPS [23:53] jbendotnet: you'll probably save the most data by installing from a server cd and before doing the actual install, rename /home, /etc, /opt, and /usr so that they won't get overwritten [23:54] Chipzzz: I have no access to a server cd [23:54] Chipzzz: I'm really annoyed with myself [23:54] ! [23:55] is there another channel for codec issues? [23:55] jbendotnet: it doesn't sound like the crash was your fault... sometimes life throws you these curves [23:56] user01: have you install w32codes or w64codecs from medibuntu repo? [23:56] We have an issue with 11.10 where we've got foobar running in Wine and whenever we change the stream/file in foobar it's changing the alsamixer settings. Does anyone else have any experience with this or know of a way to prevent that from happening? [23:57] Chipzzz: so, assuming I can't install from a CD, how do I trigger a fresh install? [23:57] A-KO|lapt: ask in #winehq too [23:57] Is there anyway i can partition more space to Ubuntu after ive installed it? or will i have to reinstall it again? [23:57] * jbendotnet remembers about google [23:57] SVNDR: how did you install it? [23:57] ActionParsnip: yes they are [23:57] SVNDR: wubi, VM, normal install (not wubi) [23:57] ActionParsnip: with Wubi.. [23:57] jbendotnet, How do you get an asterik next to your name [23:57] ActionParsnip: but it plays mov quicktime files green [23:58] SVNDR: hmm, not sure, let me see [23:58] user01: let me look into that [23:58] ActionParsnip: thanks mate [23:58] http://pastebin.com/faH1uV8e [23:58] user01: I've seen this [23:58] jbendotnet: is this a VM at a data center or on a machine at your location? [23:58] Quantum_Ion: in irssi I do /me then say somethin [23:58] any chance someone could take a look at this? http://pastebin.com/faH1uV8e libcurl coming out as the wrong option when i'm compiling from apt-get source transmission, dpkg -l shows the version is higher than required [23:58] user01: http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu [23:58] Chipzzz: at a datacentre [23:59] Chipzzz: I have no direct access [23:59] * Quantum_Ion thinking about a nice hot slice of pizza [23:59] jbendotnet, Okay thanks [23:59] Chipzzz: though have console access which is like connecting in there, not SSH to the box [23:59] Chipzzz: it's a bit basic the console, hence why I fucked up the upgrade
