[00:03] Could someone help me on why Ubuntu is lying about broken packages when installing an application? [00:03] pnorman: I guess just a little bit of virtual muscle... or whatever force does. I guess it ignores the perceived state of the other drives. [00:05] I've checked through several seeking methods and find none that contains any reason that I have held broken packages. [00:06] It's clearly that there's something wrong with the architecture but I cannot put my hands on what it is.

[00:32] that* [00:33] trism, from what i can tell from the configuration file the system tray is enabled in tint2 [00:33] alright, I got a question....how do dll's work? [00:35] brb gonna logout to test the whitelist [00:35] Does anyone know why my Ubuntu is acting persistent whenever I try to install ppstream and usually it results in an message that goes like: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." [00:35] Then on the previous message, it says that the designated program is unable to continue due to unmet dependencies [00:36] That whitelist all seemed to fix it [00:38] VBA beta exit issue ???

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 [00:46] cyphase, users use windows not ubuntu [00:46] cyphase, isn't want I'm doing possible? [00:46] zorro747: the gnome fallback mode option [00:46] how do i use curl with basic auth? [00:46] do I need it? [00:47] john_doe_jr: its not supported here, this is Ubuntu support [00:47] john_doe_jr, i think you mean cypher-neo [00:47] zorro747: you do not need it, if you like unity (the default), use that [00:47] I managed to boot from the cd and it made the little bongo noise. Now there's just a black screen >.> fuuuuu [00:47] sorry about that [00:47] no problem [00:47] zorro747 i use xfce i like it better than unity [00:47] ActionParsnip, alright, but I figured this place is full of Geeks [00:47] john_doe_jr, Users in here use Ubuntu. And apparently what you want to do is not possible on Windows.

[01:03] jeje [01:04] illogic: The way to manage the chat is simple - when you address someone here, just pop their name in front of the message - if you don't, it can get very confusing following who is talking to who :) [01:05] We generally don't recommend you PM people with questions, it's much easier if they're posted publicly so that other people can help if they are able to.

[01:36] hi, folks, I am tryng to make a printer and scanner Brother MFC7440N to work on Ubuntu 11.10. It was working in the 10.10, then I upgraded the system and never get the scanner working again. Could anyone help me? [01:36] GhostFreeman, this is assuming you have booted the ubuntu disc... not clicked on install from windows. [01:37] pipoka: brother provide CUPS PPD files for most of their printers - check their site [01:38] yes, linxeh, I'm using it [01:38] hi [01:38] linxeh: everything seems ok, but the applications as xsane and simple-scan doesn't find the scanner === SVNDR is now known as svndr [01:40] pipoka: ah; I only use the printer from ubuntu on mine MFC5890 - I only use the scanner to memory cards and to my Macs [01:41] cd's and dvd's won't open for me under 10.10 i get an error as follows: "mount: special device /dev/scd1 does not exist" how do i fix this? [01:42] linxeh: i understand. it is very weird, because each step is working fine, the brsane diagnosis find each one of the insatalations, ping the netowork instalation, but xsane and simple-scan seems does not find it. [01:44] jseamus: can you mount /dev/sr0? [01:44] pipoka: its not a 32/64bit issue is it? [01:44] schnuffle: how do i do that? [01:45] jseamus: do you know what a terminal is? [01:45] jseamus: open a terminal and try enterning following: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt [01:46] linxeh: I dont think so, because it was working fine in another system, on the same machine. I just finishing making another instalation of the old version in order to test it and... scanner is working there... [01:46] schnuffle: i don't see it in /dev and when i try it just returns "mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device" [01:47] jseamus: okay, what type of CD/DVD do you have SATA/IDE/SCSI...? [01:50] schnuffle: it's not a peripheral its the drive the laptop shipped with: ibm t40 iirc [01:50] Can someone help me out? I have reinstalled Ubuntu about 3 times and I cannot boot up to it, or windows. All I get is, "Error: no such partioin grub [01:51] I am on the Linux live cd right now. Is there anyway I can maybe manually go to the GRUB menu to force it to boot to Linux? [01:51] schnuffle: btw i found sr0 in /dev but it still won't mount [01:53] jseamus: do you have a CD in your drive? [01:53] "No such partion GRUB rescue" [01:53] schnuffle: dvd right now [01:54] jseamus: have you tried a normal data CD? [01:54] yes [01:54] dariushall21: that's... peculiar, to say the least. My mind is wondering why GRUB is trying to boot you into rescue. [01:54] schnuffle: i've tried data cds, music cds, dvds. nothing plays [01:55] schnuffle: and the cdrom drive doesn't always show up in Computer [01:55] jseamus: sure your drive is alright? [01:55] jseamus: Can you boot from a Ubuntu install CD? [01:55] schnuffle: i switched it out with another and back again. unless both are broken... [01:55] jseamus: two things - have you created a mount point for your drive - I found that was how I could get mine to go every time. I just added routing for it into my fstab. [01:55] BarkingFish: I have no idea, my computer is CONSTANLY doing stupid things, windows kept blue-screening that's why I installed Linux because I have never had a problem out of it, but I cannot seem to get it to boot again. [01:56] schnuffle: i don't know [01:56] BarkingFish: how do i do this? [01:57] Howdy. I am trying to run a ruby script which uses ruby-usb and calls usb_claim_interface of libusb ? When I run this as a normal user, it complains that the the operation is not permitted. When I run as root, it runs without any problems. What do I need to be looking at to ensure the appropriate permissions for my usb device are adhered to when it's plugged in for this normal user to be able to access it? [01:57] jseamus: I just see that the T40 is a old Centrino platform. So chances are that the CD is /dev/hdc. So sudo mount /dev/hdc /mnt [01:58] schnuffle: it returns "mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist" [01:59] Barking [01:59] schnuffle: but it said that with /dev/sr0 and i can see sr0 in /dev and its listed as a block device [01:59] guys, how to "hold" a package from being removed ? [01:59] installing a package requiers another to be removed, and I need that particular package [01:59] Damn it, Barkingfish: I attemted to manually boot grub by holding shift but it said "Starting GRUB" "No such partition grub rescue" [01:59] i have a screen flicker issue, i've always had it, i was wondering if anybody could help me out, if i use a wallpaper that is busy its barely noticeable, but if i use a solid color wallpaper its there [01:59] jseamus: okay, sure it's not already mounted? check with: mount [02:00] its quite annoying [02:01] ...

[02:03] i dunno, how would i go about figuring out the refresh settings? [02:03] jseamus: okay take a data CD and try: sudo mkdir /media/test && sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/test [02:03] on a LCD screen the max refresh rate is 60Hz, on CRT monitors it could be 75-85-100 [02:03] depends what is supported [02:03] schnuffle: k one sec... [02:04] so, would anyone tell me how to f?cking stop a package from being deleted when Im installing another package ? [02:04] Onepamopa: so it depends on my screen? i can't adjust the refresh rate?

[02:04] Onepamopa: stop working... like an screen shoot [02:05] NewB check what process is occupying your cpu [02:05] & do a memory che [02:05] psusi: thanx I know but wasn't completly sure about [02:05] check* [02:05] Onepamopa: let me check.. its a 6 core pc with 16 gbs of ram and 60 gbs ssd sata 3 disk [02:06] Onepamopa: I believe it's trying to remove the package because it conflicts with what you're installing. [02:06] NewB just a Q - are you getting DDoS ? [02:06] faux_sho okay, Im installing zabbix-mysql (my mysql server is percona) [02:06] schnuffle: wtf? the cd just opened [02:06] it does not suggest anything else (to install mysql for example) [02:06] Onepamopa: don't think so.. cause it do it eaven disconnected [02:06] Hi all. I've using Ubuntu for over 5 years and I'm finally stumped on an install. My machine boots the 11.10 64-bit live CD and installs Ubuntu, but the installed system won't boot. [02:07] NewB does this happen right after reboot or ? [02:07] after some time ? [02:07] jseamus: you mean you executed the command and the tray opened. Strange behaviour [02:07] jmpl: grub issue it sounds like [02:07] jmp1, go on... [02:07] I can get into the grub menu [02:07] Onepamopa: Sorry, I don't know about mysql. I just think that's why that happens. [02:07] NewB: ramdom.... something screen looks wierd like if where something with the video [02:07] nuse, you tried typing xrandr into terminal? [02:07] schnuffle: no the disk opened in nautilus [02:07] If I choose recovery option I get a text dmesg log [02:07] Onepamopa: ramdom.... something screen looks wierd like if where something with the video [02:08] hm [02:08] Lozzy_uk: yeah [02:08] what does htop says ? [02:08] &, can you login remotely via ssh to check ? [02:08] around 1 second later (kernel time gets up to about 0.90s) I see rtc_cmos: ... setting real time clock ... [02:08] grab a laptop, link it @ the lan and ssh to ur server [02:08] and then the system just hard locks [02:08] everything looks normal [02:08] jseamus: fine :) [02:08] Hi. I have three client NFS computers and an NFS server. All three clients have been working, but suddenly, one of them seems to not be working. The shares will "mount", but I do not see any files on the client. [02:08] keyboard stops responding, sysreq reisub doesn't work. [02:08] jmp1, did you run memtest86+? [02:09] nuse, what refresh does it report? [02:09] i just read you can change the refresh rate via xorg but i'm not sure what rates i should be trying [02:09] not yet. [02:09] though this machine has been running 10.10 for a while just fine. [02:09] I'll try that now. [02:09] nuse what's your monitor ? [02:09] Onepamopa: compiz and gnome-system-monitor have about 6% of cpu both...everything else is on 0 [02:09] schnuffle: thanks for the help :) [02:09] and desktop is frozen ?! [02:10] jseamus: I think it wasn't me, the magic came from you :) [02:10] Onepamopa: i use ubuntu for day by day use... check mails, web, and chat.... and an xp (extra disk) for gamming [02:10] lol [02:10] NewB 1. disable compiz and check if u have the same issue [02:10] don't even know [02:10] At one point I was able to boot into my old 10.10 kernels with the 11.10 userspace. [02:10] 2. make a memcheck [02:10] hold up i'll check the refresh rate again and get the monitor info [02:10] I can't even find anything in my kernel logs that I could use to make a diagnosis. [02:11] nuse be careful with refresh rates... you could easily damage your monitor ! [02:11] Onepamopa: i'm new in ubuntu (running out of windows jejej) ... how to disable compiz? ... and the memory check i think i can do it with the live disk rigth ? [02:11] thanks for the info [02:11] not trying to screw the pooch [02:11] The mount command even shows the shares as being mounted. [02:11] NewB grub menu should have memtest option [02:12] psusi: why would the live CD work, but not the real boot? [02:12] <[deXter]> NewB, When logging in, you can choose Gnome (no effects) [02:12] kkerwin: have you checked the network connection for errors? [02:12] schnuffle: Pinging the server works. [02:12] hey guys, does anyone know how to work with ubuntu and iphones? [02:12] iphone? ;) who uses that crap anyways? :) [02:13] lol i do :P [02:13] lol [02:13] I'm trying to change the smp_affinity of an irq (for an analog phone card for use in asterisk), and I get a permission denied message. The command I am using is: sudo echo 2 > /proc/irq/22/smp_affinity [02:13] Onepamopa: [deXter] .... what about video drivers? ... board has an integrated ati hd 4250 and ubuntu use proprietary drivers that i had to activate [02:13] galaxy S II fan here [02:13] ;) [02:13] kkerwin: check closer if there are network errors, you can use ethtool [02:13] NewB did you install ati drivers ? [02:13] schnuffle: Ok. Not familiar with that tool. Guess it's time to learn something new! [02:13] im using banshee with my android phone and i have the following problem: i drag a podcast in format .mov to the phone (not supported by the phone) - banshee gives the following error: .mov not supported and no converter [02:13] my refresh rate is 60.1hz [02:13] just the prob i'm having is that i just updated to 5.0.1 and i no longer can see the iphone in ubuntu or rythmbox for that matter and need to put all my music back in it :( and no i don't use itunes. [02:14] nuse then - driver issue === acris is now known as pipoka [02:14] <[deXter]> Onepamopa, Me too ;) [02:14] download & install latest catalyst drivers [02:14] Onepamopa: yes i did..... in the terminal with the sudo apt-get install flgrx something and catalyst something [02:14] hi need some help [02:14] (20:14:08) Llewxam: just the prob i'm having is that i just updated to 5.0.1 - probably that's the problem, you updated iOS [02:14] well i'm just the intergrated sandybridge graphics [02:14] as i want to try ubuntu in windows itself [02:14] <[deXter]> Onepamopa, I mean SGS2 user. Just not a big fan of the sound quality though. [02:14] just using* [02:15] NewB Im talking about official drivers, not fglrx [02:15] fglrx are also good, but I still prefer retail [02:15] i downloaded wubi [02:15] <[deXter]> NewB, You don't have to use any proprietary drivers [02:15] xangua: so the libimobile drivers don't support latest ios? :s [02:15] 60.1hz seems pretty normal from everything i've been reading [02:15] when i run this file it goes to internet to download ubuntu-11.10-wubi-amd64.tar.xz [02:15] as i am having slow internet [02:15] i downloaded this file ubuntu-11.10-wubi-amd64.tar.xz manually [02:15] <[deXter]> dell, Wubi isn't very flexible and it's buggy.. I would suggest just installing it in VirtualBox, or make a live USB and boot from it [02:15] nuse, yup, mine are at 59.9 [02:15] so how can i install ubuntu whithout downloading this file [02:16] i'm bummed, i feel like its a sandy bridge issue and there ain't shit i can do about it [02:16] Onepamopa: [deXter] help me out to roll back and install default... because without do that command i can't use extended desktop with my tv . [02:16] nuse its not sandybridge issue [02:16] schnuffle: Ok. Any hints on using ethtool to test for NFS connectivity? [02:16] my laptop uses same chipset without a problem [02:16] with a solid black or gray wallpaper you get no flicker? [02:17] <[deXter]> NewB, That's weird because extended display should work fine without the propreitary drivers.. i'm on ATI myself and it works fine for me [02:17] kkerwin: first check if your card isn't running in halfduplex or something like that: sudo ethtool ethX [02:17] Llewxam: it supports latest iOS, when ubuntu was released, and then a new iOS update is released thath broke the support; apples don't like to play others than apples [02:17] ? [02:17] <[deXter]> dell, ? [02:17] [deXter]: let me search for the error ... hold on [02:17] even with my graphics card in use it does the same thing so it is probably not a sandy bridge issue i guess [02:17] xangua: well ... poo. >.< i'll figure out how to put all my music back in then. loved using rythmbox for that. [02:17] linxeh: i just passed a diagnosis in both instalations of the scanner, if you want to try to compare... the old system: http://pastebin.com/fRy7Fsxw and Ubuntu 11.10: http://pastebin.com/GNHvWZPQ May be we can find some clue there... thank you [02:17] 99.999% driver problem [02:17] thanks. [02:18] dell: wubi comes already on ubuntu iso [02:18] xanga [02:18] dell: the file you downloaded is for installing ubntu alonside windows [02:18] Onepamopa: there is no intel drivers for intergrated graphics though [02:18] schnuffle: First, this particular computer is connected via wifi; is that an issue? Second, the command "sudo ethtool wlan0" just returns that a link is detected, and makes no mention of half-duplex, etc. [02:18] i downloaded the file ubuntu-11.10-wubi-amd64.tar.xz manually [02:18] nuse you dont need those [02:18] then what would i need if its a driver issue? [02:18] now how can i use wubi to use that file to install [02:18] can i copy paste 2 lines here ? [02:19] NewB: Check out pastebin.com. [02:19] kkerwin: thanks [02:19] NewB: Paste your output there, then provide the link here. [02:19] nuse, if it happens with a different card also, is it the monitor at fault? [02:19] NewB: np. [02:19] dell: you have the instructions at ubuntu.com [02:19] Lozzy_uk that'd beat the day - faulty monitor ;) [02:19] kkerwin: okay wireless, hmm. I'm just guessing as I had some problems with NFS due to network links not being stable. If you think yours is stable maybe it's due to something else [02:19] link plaease [02:20] Lozzy: thats what i'm thinking now [02:20] as wubi itself have no option [02:20] dell: ubuntu.com... [02:20] dell: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [02:20] its a newer laptop [02:20] samsung series 7 [02:20] schnuffle: Ok. Any other ideas, then? [02:20] nuse 1. uninstall fgrlx (and related stuff you installed) [02:20] 2. go to ati.amd.com [02:21] download ubuntu drivers [02:21] http://pastebin.com/dk224Xrc [02:21] should be a .deb pkg [02:21] kkerwin: hard if you don't have any logs that could indicate a problem [02:21] schnuffle: Tell me about it. :-) [02:21] as it says The installation files (approximately 700MB) will be downloaded and checked, after which you will be asked to reboot. [02:21] i all ready have that file [02:21] i only want to use it [02:22] schnuffle: Maybe I'm overlooking something. Where would you expect an error to show up? There are several log files in /var/log. [02:22] kkerwin: sure there was no change between the working and failing state. Some updates ..... [02:22] schnuffle: Which do you think might be the right one? [02:22] Onepamopa: [deXter] http://pastebin.com/dk224Xrc <<<<--- that's the error i got without the ati drivers [02:22] schnuffle: Don't think so ... unless there was a package that was updated that I didn't think would have an effect. [02:22] Hello guysI am having a crazy problem. As soon as I installed Ubuntu on my laptop keyboard got messed up and i cant use it well, even on Windows or BIOS setup. [02:22] NewB heh [02:23] download ati drivers and install them [02:23] I dont know what to do ;s [02:23] luk that cannot be ubuntu related [02:23] never had luck with the ati drivers [02:23] gonna try again [02:23] kkerwin: give me a moment, just loggin into a NFS enabled machine to check [02:23] schnuffle: Thanks! :) [02:23] It was working before [02:23] I installed via wubi [02:23] luk that's like "I bought a new washing machine and my tv doesnt work" [02:24] <[deXter]> NewB, Just go to "Additional Drivers" and activate the driver from there [02:24] luk the keyboard doesnt work properly @ bios aswell ? [02:24] I downloaded the updates by the manager and when it finished keyboard has gone away [02:24] exactly [02:24] schnuffle: Going to get a sweater. Brb. [02:24] what the f?ck [02:25] i get terrible battery life with the graphics card enabled too [02:25] thats to be expected [02:25] yeah [02:25] nuse btw, optimus ? [02:25] i need to setup bumblebee and do graphics switching if possible [02:25] schnuffle: Back. [02:26] nuse I hate it [02:26] doesnt have good support yet [02:26] when I hit "n" it goes "no", when I hit "b" comes "bu", "enter" comes "enter" plus a space [02:26] i have changed layouts many times [02:26] i've never been able to set it up sucessfully [02:26] reinstalled [02:26] in ubuntu 11.10, is there a tweak to get the min/max buttons moved to the right-side? [02:26] never had any luck [02:26] luk it does whole words with a key press ? [02:26] im using banshee with my android phone and i have the following problem: i drag a podcast in format .mov to the phone (not supported by the phone) - banshee gives the following error: .mov not supported and no converter [02:26] [deXter]: did it.... [02:26] that soounds like some shitty feature enabled @ bios [02:26] 2 letters at max [02:26] that's like phone's T9 dictionaries ... [02:26] [deXter]: wich logs file should i look if computers got stuck again? [02:27] luk try to restore defaults @ bios ? [02:27] onepamopa thats just when I install Ubuntu. If i run all the updates after instalation than "o" dont work anymore and many other keys [02:27] <[deXter]> NewB, /var/log/Xorg* [02:27] [deXter]: thanks.... [02:27] luk something like "fn" key holded all the time ? [02:27] Onepamopa: thanks for the help 2 ;P [02:28] kkerwin: is the portmapper running on the client? [02:28] in ubuntu 11.10, is there a tweak to get the min/max buttons moved to the right-side? [02:28] schnuffle: Let's see ... [02:29] is there a guide or a simple command to change the console width and height? I have Ubuntu server installed and would like to change the boot console size [02:29] Eartaker wasnt this @ grub config ? [02:30] not sure [02:30] schnuffle: It was. To be safe, I restarted it, and then remounted the share. Still no joy. [02:30] Eartaker look into it [02:30] ok I will [02:30] onepamopa what you mean? And on BIOS even when I choose default options it continues with error. Also after the instalation my Windows clock was the same wrong hour as Ubuntu one. Dont know if it helps [02:30] Grip [02:30] luk what "error" ? [02:31] kkerwin: check file perms of mount point, paste fstab of client and exports of server [02:31] onepamopa the whole keyboard problem [02:31] schnuffle: kk [02:31] luk and it started to happen right after ? [02:32] onepamopa right after the update manager install the recommended ones [02:32] doesnt make any sence [02:32] if its same problem @windows [02:33] onepamopa I know that is what I am thinking all day [02:34] schnuffle: I think I figured it out ... my client (arwen) changed it's IP address ... lemme try something ... [02:34] ok, and what happens if you revert bios to defaults ? [02:34] Ж [02:34] onepamopa but I know it is Ubuntu cuz when I uninstall Ubuntu the "o" gives me "no" when pressed. If I install ubuntu again with the updates, "o" stops to work [02:34] kkerwin: so your export file doesn't have a network range but three IP's :) [02:35] onepamopa nothing happens keyboard still trashed [02:35] schnuffle: Correct. Security. [02:35] luk attach external keyboard and check if its same [02:36] kkerwin: so how did it change the IP? the first question that came to my mind was: does the IP of the client fits the exports file? But I thought you would have chaecked that already [02:38] schnuffle: I set static IP's using my router for internal traffic. For some reason, the client wouldn't accept that static IP. So, when I created /etc/hosts files on all of my computers and specified the domain names, I used the IP that the client was on. Finally, the client in question got it's act together, and went with the static IP that the router had reserved for it. And then my /etc/hosts files were incorrect. [02:38] I have a TK-214I KVM switch I can't get to switch with scroll lock + scroll lock in Ubuntu. Is there any other button combos I might try or find a way to bind it ? [02:38] onepamopa dont have an usb one in hand right now ;s [02:38] kkerwin: so no just tell me that everything is working again and we'll both be happy :) [02:39] luk have you reset bios to defaults or not? [02:39] s/no/now/ [02:39] schnuffle: Waiting for server to reboot with new configuration. (Yes, I know that I could have just restarted the nfs daemon. Shoot me.) :D [02:39] onepamopa how can I do that besides using the Load default options on bios setup? [02:39] thats exactly the way [02:40] after u reset the bios, first boot @ windows [02:40] and test keyboard [02:40] after that, boot @ ubuntu - and test again [02:41] schnuffle: And, it's officially still not working ... [02:41] onepamopa and I found an old keyboard and it is working fine, while my notebook note [02:42] kkerwin: hm, but at least there's a route to follow. Check the IP of the client against the exports file [02:42] luk okay, then what is causing the issue... [02:42] if you install ubuntu without updates ? [02:42] onepamopa than will be like I said, when I hit "o" will give "no" [02:43] onepamopa updates just stop some keys to work, "o" included [02:43] schnuffle: http://paste.kde.org/183554/ [02:43] luk u got me so confused .... [02:43] havent EVER had such problems @ my laptops [02:44] is it by any chance HP or sony ? [02:44] onepamopa I am sorry, this is indeed a crazy thing. [02:44] onepamopa Asus one [02:44] heh [02:44] had similar problem only with a HP [02:44] it had something to do with layouts etc [02:44] was few years ago [02:45] :/ [02:45] u can boot with cd and reconfigure layouts ? [02:45] kkerwin: eth0 is not configured [02:45] schnuffle: I'm connecting using wlan0. [02:45] kkerwin: of course you use wireless [02:45] schnuffle: Lol. Ya. I hate wireless. Just for this computer, and for my iPad. [02:45] the problem isnt with layouts I guess cuz all I choose give thes same things. How could I reconfigure layouts anyway? [02:46] luk just a suggestion - contact ubuntu support and ask them for known issues of the laptop + ubuntu [02:46] maybe they know something we dont ? [02:46] could be something specific, who knows [02:47] onepamopa thanks I sent them a message. [02:47] with all those multimedia buttons etc [02:47] I want to manually put a line in a password file. How is /etc/passwd encrypted? There's probably a websit I can go run a word through and get the proper string out of, right? [02:47] kkerwin: so frodo and bilbo are doing fine? [02:47] Yup. [02:47] craigbass1976 why would u want to do that ? [02:47] Jeezus [02:47] The hobbits are good. It's the damn dirty elf. [02:48] lol [02:48] I get 30 highlights in here in the past few hours [02:48] don't even know what it was xD [02:48] I'm setting up a calendar server, and I think I have to populate the passwd file myself. I don't see any kinds of adduser type scripts I can use in the zip file [02:48] maybe someone was hungry and talking about Doritos [02:49] is it normal that moving windows around hogs my cpu even when I have nvidia proprietary driver enabled? [02:50] can I change java version from one application, but not for all system? [02:50] kkerwin: have you seen that emilies clientaddr=0.0.0.0? What happens if you unmount them and try to mount them manually e.g.: sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.1.11:/emily /mnt? [02:50] go8765 u could simply run java directly from the other version [02:50] Anxi80, Try moving doors around. They're even heavier. Sorry, lumber yard humor... [02:50] schnuffle: kris (me) also doesn't see anything, but I'll try it just to find out. [02:51] for example alternatives suggest java at /var/lib/jvmX/bin/java [02:51] u can start application from /jvmY/bin/java [02:51] hi i am paring the ps3 control on ubuntu 11.10 bat i can does not work any idea [02:51] onepamopa know what is weird? now if I hold "o" for some secs it gives me "nooooooooooooo" [02:51] craigbass1976, very funny :) [02:52] luk lol [02:52] anyone work with esxi on a daily basis? I'm building a cluster and could use some advice on storage [02:52] luk any stuck key @ keyboard ? [02:52] shutdown laptop, press all keys 2384902820 times [02:52] (remove battery first) [02:52] maybe a stuck key causes the problem [02:52] hi i am pairng the ps3 control on ubuntu 11.10 bat i can does not work any idea [02:53] luk I have such problem when I clean my touch keys ;) [02:53] Onepamopa:говоришь по русски? [02:53] go8765 bulgarian, not russian [02:53] kkerwin: My guess is that your DNS is somewhat broken. My suggestion is to install dnsmasq on the server and do the whole DHCP from there [02:53] schnuffle: Huh. That works. [02:54] Anxi80, and actually three of us moved about 25 windows and a few doors yesterday; my arms still hurt. Are you seeing things spike in top just dragging a window around? [02:54] kkerwin: then unmount both and see what happens when you do a sudo mount -a [02:54] Onepamopa: what you mean about java. I dont understand :( [02:55] Onepamopa: sorry [02:55] i dons see all your answers [02:55] schnuffle: Any idea how many resources dnsmasq uses? My server is a repurposed pogoplug (embedded linux system) that I voided the warranty on. Not much by way of resources. [02:55] go8765 ls -lah /usr/bin/ |grep java [02:55] paste @ pm [02:55] hi i am pairng the ps3 control on ubuntu 11.10 bat it does not work any idea [02:55] kkerwin: very few [02:55] schnuffle: Well, sudo mount -a worked! [02:57] kkerwin: so I guess the hosts file or your DNS setup was out of sync [02:57] slipknot, http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/12/gimx-control-ps3-console-with-your.html [02:57] schnuffle: Guess I should have rebooted arwen. [02:58] slipknot: isn't it a bluetooth device? [02:58] kkerwin: a lot of embed devices use dnsmasq, for example the router I use [02:58] Hi somebody can help me to have bash with this command? readlink /bin/sh, always give dash, but i need bash, somebody can help me pls? [02:58] slipknot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sixaxis [02:58] ActionParsnip, yes it is [02:59] r0z4: if you nedd bash, why not just call it? [02:59] need [02:59] anyone here familiar with getting nVidia drivers working with 11.04 64 bit? [02:59] nVidia 550Ti [02:59] r0z4: normally bash is under /bin/bash [02:59] schnuffle: Thank you very much for your help. I know you didn't do much, but you really helped me to take it one step at a time. I appreciate it. [03:00] kkerwin: that's a situation I know to good in germany we call it:"Vor lauter Bäumen den Wald nicht gesehen" [03:00] schnuffle yes i do it, but i have a long scripts, and i think run /bin/sh sometime, and in the requeriments says i need /bin/sh with bash [03:01] schnuffle: What's that mean? :D [03:01] I downloaded some .run files from nVidia, but can't figure out how to install [03:01] SirDerpsalot: nVidia drivers are already in the repo, its better to install that [03:02] kkerwin: trying to translate: by looking at too many trees you don't see the forest anymore [03:02] schnuffle: Ah. We say it here in the US: "It's hard to see the forest through the trees." [03:03] schnuffle: Thanks again. [03:03] kkerwin: learned something :) your welcome [03:03] Sound stop playing through my speakers but still works through my headphones, what gives (nothing is muted) [03:04] r0z4: then symlink /bin/sh to /bin/bash [03:04] schnuffle how can i do that? [03:05] r0z4: actually, if you want to change it you should: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash; but you should really fix the scripts to specify bash if they need bash [03:05] r0z4: first paste ls -l /bin/sh [03:05] ok, in the package manager, searched for nvidia, got a ton of results. I'm a bit lost [03:05] r0z4: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh [03:06] trism gives me this : /bin/sh -> dash [03:06] SirDerpsalot: install nvidia-current , if you need the driver, nvidia-settings-manager would be also helpful to configure it [03:07] thanks :D [03:08] SirDerpsalot: sorry only nvidia-settings , no -manager :) [03:09] seems to have picked up the settings as well as current [03:10] Onepamopa took away some keys and inserted again, no luck :/ [03:10] think it's done. Going to reboot. [03:10] r0z4: for changing sh to bash:sudo rm /bin/sh && sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh [03:12] schnuffle i made dpkg-reconfigure dash and selected no, now i have bash, now i have it righ? [03:13] Hello, I am trying to open a screen on another user. First I have a screen running on one user, then I su to another user, type screen, to open a screen, but then I get this error: "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/tty1' - please check." I am running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [03:17] hey, can anybody helpme? Can't get screenlets running under kubuntu and don't know why [03:17] php: kubuntu/kde has it's own 'screenlets' called plasmoids [03:18] tried them¿ [03:19] well, installed, but still not recognizing second monitor [03:19] or allowing me to enable effects [03:19] Alright all I got a problem where when I'm at my Login Screen and enter my password the screen goes black for about 5 seconds. Then redirects me back to my graphical login screen. This is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. [03:20] xangua: Yes, tried them, but as far as I can see I cannot adjust their transparency [03:20] SirDerpsalot: do ALT-F2 compiz --replace , what do you get now? [03:21] aBound: same with all users? [03:21] aBound: is there sufficient free space? [03:21] ActionParsnip, Pretty much even with the guest account I created.

[03:22] ActionParsnip, I'm on the Ubuntu flash drive right now. [03:22] newp [03:23] fixed my problem! [03:23] just changed my wallpaper [03:23] no discernable change :/ [03:23] aBound: press CTRL+ALT+F1, log in there and run: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME; sudo apt-get clean you'll get a warning, but this is normal [03:23] BOOM! [03:23] Sounds like I'd have to write that down and than come back in here and do it. :P [03:24] SirDerpsalot: open nvidia-settings and check whether nvidia is enabled [03:24] aBound: sure, make sure it is exactly as I gave :D [03:25] ActionParsnip, Always a problem everyday it seems. [03:25] aBound: makes sure your user is the owner of it's own data, can help sometimes [03:25] Hi everyone from claymont, de, usa [03:26] ActionParsnip, No problem I can always write the file down in gedit and transfer it to my hdd to read it.

[03:26] I get this: "You do not appear to be using the Nvidia x driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart x server. [03:27] ActionParsnip, I'll check that too. [03:27] I tried that, it said it made a new file [03:27] TestIRCBot, hi [03:27] wrote a new x config [03:28] how do I restart the x server? [03:28] SirDerpsalot: now restart your system/s server, please keep a Live CD near by, configuring nvidia might be painful [03:28] oh boy. [03:28] s/s server/x ServerSage [03:28] alright [03:28] I'll do that. [03:31] ActionParsnip, By $USER do you mean enter the $USER variable or enter my actual username for the account?

[03:54] I will sleep now but thx. anyway ActionParsnip will be back about 6H or so with the question [03:54] Dynamit: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [03:54] sure [03:54] I just changed my password and when I logged back in with the new password the keyring said I had used the wrong password and asked for the old one. My question is the next time I change my password will I have to remember the very fist one or only the one before? basically is the password set to the original one permanently or does it get reset to the current one when [03:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/796707/ [03:57] there you get [04:00] Is there a fix for certain laptop/netbooks in 11.10 having wildly inaccurate battery readings, to include going to hibernation/shutdown with 85% battery?

I've made sure nothing is muted, and when I use 'lspci -v' it shows my sound hardware and says 'Kernel driver in use: Intel ICH' which makes me think my hardware is readable and there is a driver installed. Are there any common sound issues on fresh installs that I could look into? Or am I misinterpreting the 'lspci -v' output?

[04:14] rockband: use your backups is going to be the most reliable way [04:14] okey i will try with that once more ;) [04:14] <_HoochMan_> rockband: A good backup does ;) [04:14] the beack up was not up to date [04:14] back* [04:15] but of course [04:19] rockband: foremost may help.

[04:22] hullo [04:22] i have been working on the same problem for 4 and a half hours [04:22] what [04:22] in the first 4 hours, i made it 100 times worse than when i started [04:23] in the last half hour, i got it back to where it was in the beginning [04:23] !flash [04:23] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:23] which i guess is good? [04:23] reinstall windows 3.1 then [04:23] anyways === Timic_ is now known as Timic [04:23] the problem is that my external (usb) soundcard is creating a very annoying hiss/static [04:23] its not the headphone's fault [04:23] Actionparsnip it's not working [04:24] still like mute [04:24] but i have used two separate models of usb soundcard, both have this problem. [04:24] and i know is not set to mute [04:24] anyone willing to help? :x [04:24] Stelpa, only a problem in certain operating systems? [04:25] sorry Stelpa im so tired so i don't know my name almost [04:25] i have tried using the headphones in separate computers and they're fine, but i haven't been able to try the soundcard [04:25] i dont have any computers to test on [04:25] but i am pretty sure this is a software issue [04:25] not hardware [04:25] have you only tested it with ubuntu? [04:26] Stelpa: run alsamixer and make sure all channels are unmuted [04:26] ActionParsnip thx. for the help but i realy need to sleep now [04:27] skilz: i am using pulseaudio, i couldn't get alsa to work [04:27] Stelpa: FYI Pulse actually uses ALSA for hardware access [04:27] skilz: though i just checked, the only thing muted is "pc beep" [04:27] i see, zykotick9 [04:27] ty [04:27] so yeah [04:27] everything is unmuted [04:27] Stelpa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:28] sorry about that. [04:30] Stelpa, i once struggled getting sound to work at all, and loading kernel compatibility modules was an allright solution. not sure how tempting this is to you now? however, it is another way of checking whether certain explanations may be eliminated or not [04:31] fd-balder: bleh, i would rather not, especially because i had to jump through hoops in reinstalling after someone talked me into uninstalling pulseaudio (BAD idea) [04:31] if nothing changes, or something gets worse, you may change it back to the prior setting [04:31] ok [04:32] hi [04:32] hey [04:32] this Q has nothing to do with ubuntu, i want to know the name of that british movie about the guy who's wife is killed then he on purpose gets himself sent to the same jail as the villian [04:32] i need a name people [04:34] can anyone help, then? === _Craig is now known as MrCraig [04:35] yea [04:35] must be a movie buff in here [04:35] the guy vandalises a police car [04:36] ObamaIsAGangsta: is this related to Ubuntu? [04:36] no [04:36] i said such [04:37] ObamaIsAGangsta: then why ask. this channel is ONLY ubuntu support [04:39] somebody please help :( [04:43] anyone know how to move the min/max buttons to the right side in gnome 3 (fallback)? [04:43] stelpa: maybe I didnt follow everything, but try to install kmix [04:43] then check all your inputs one by one [04:43] I just installed ubuntu, and I can't get my sound working. I've made sure nothing is muted, and when I use 'lspci -v' it shows my sound hardware and says 'Kernel driver in use: Intel ICH' which makes me think my hardware is readable and there is a driver installed. Are there any common sound issues on fresh installs that I could look into? Or am I misinterpreting the 'lspci -v' output? [04:43] and mute them all except master [04:44] alien2050: i'll try [04:45] and also most likely PCM or something... usually the microphone is unmuted and you will hear a hiss like an echo (even if mike is not plugged in); sometimes, can also be interference from other inputs [04:45] Stelpa: careful, kmix *might* pull in a lot of KDE libs, if you don't use KDE [04:45] so mute them all one by one, starting with right side; you may have to enable all of them though in menu [04:45] snakedriver761, loading kernel compatibility modules was the first approach that solved lack of sound in my case [04:46] snakedriver761, sounds like you've got nothing to lose in trying at this point [04:48] yeah but usually kmix will also show if thee sound card is "hanged" and will say: waiting for hardware or something... so It's good to test it, if it opens, it will let you know the sound card [04:48] is working as intended..... [04:48] alien2050: it opened fine, but its only showing one input for the usb soundcard [04:48] *ouput [04:48] *output [04:48] The pro will outperform the air by margins... [04:49] and 3 for the normal soundcard, but i can't use my normal internal headphone jack, its broken [04:49] i tried muting [04:49] the only thing that makes the static/hiss go away is muting the master of the external soundcard [04:49] but then i can't hear anything >_< [04:50] what happens if you reboot without the external device ? is there hiss also? sometimes pulseaudio will select an internal sound card instead [04:51] alien2050: there is no hiss through my internal [04:51] the problem is that my headphone jack connecting to my internal is so loose that it cannot be used [04:51] at least it seems to prove that the external device is the root cause of the problem [04:51] what is the device? [04:52] "Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! Pro" [04:52] i have another external soundcard with the same problem, tho [04:52] question, when you enter ctrl+alt+F1(tty1?) terminal, what is it that is execute after you login? is there .bashrc-like thing I can edit to change it? === eboy is now known as devinsamarin [04:53] alien2050? === devinsamarin is now known as eboy [04:54] stelpa: I'm looking on info for this card... what happens if you boot a ubuntu live cd [04:54] hiss / or not ? [04:55] Dayofswords: it uses the same shell, so will use ~/.bashrc of the account you log in as [04:55] alien2050: i have not tried, though i dont plan on reinstalling... [04:55] no need to reinstall if you run live cd [04:55] also did you check in menu for KMIX, that all inputs/outputs are enabled (checked) [04:56] Dayofswords: in addition to .bashrc, you might find .profile useful. [04:58] I'm having some serious problems with my setup after having just upgraded from 10.04 to 11.10. CAn't find an answer online, tried everything I can think of. Anyone around for a bit of help? [04:58] ActionParsnip: I assume it does but unlike the gnome-terminal which excutes it, the tty1 checks for system updates, i can't find that in bashrc(or .profile for that matter) [04:58] alien2050: just checked, there were some hidden on the internal soundcard [04:58] but i tried them [04:58] and they aren't causing it either :( [04:59] Dayofswords: I know what you mean but am not sure what triggers it [04:59] Dayofswords: the system updates message is from the motd, from /etc/update-motd.d/ [04:59] Dayofswords: let me search [04:59] there we go [04:59] at this point I don't know... I used to have some problems like that with Creative XFI Fatality and audio creation, but it was devices that were unmuted which I needed to mute [04:59] alien2050: the noise isn't there at first, but if you play an audio file or song, the noise shows up as soon as it starts. if you pause/stop the audio, the hiss continues for a bit, then suddenly dissapears [04:59] like mcrophone, analog 1, etc [05:00] creative soundcards can be a real pain, totally not worth the bother [05:00] Hello all. I have a single disk on my laptop that has 3 partititons" sda1 (110.8Gb) which is ext4; sda2 (1012Mb) extended and sda5 (1012Mb) which is of unknown type, while I was thinking this was the swap area. What can I do in order to fix this, have a safe swap area and be able to hibernate and/or suspend. TIA! [05:01] ActionParsnip: I guess you're right, now that a lot of cards support a lot of the Creative features.... [05:01] trism: awesome, thank you. it's a pain since it slows down login [05:01] alien2050: :( [05:01] Dayofswords: man 5 update-motd; has a good overview, although if you want to disable any scripts, just chmod -x them [05:02] <[deXter]> nimbiotics, can you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l [05:02] <[deXter]> nimbiotics, Not here, but on paste.ubuntu.com [05:02] [deXter]: ok [05:02] Is it easy to add a .sh file to the launcher bar? [05:02] Stelpa: sorry... maybe you can try installing ubuntu studio with realtime kernel enabled, since you're saying you're experiencing some sort of lag with the hiss [05:02] did you try JACK ? [05:02] is there kde 4.8 rc2 ppa's out there? [05:03] i hear ubuntu can be be put on even more devices, lol like a htc evo 4g ? can i have some help [05:04] Stelpa: since it's another sound system, it could at least tell you if it's software vs hardware issue [05:04] i already make music with ubuntu [05:04] so i have jack [05:04] i just tried it [05:04] hiss also ? [05:04] and, using the headphones, as soon as i start jack, the hiss starts [05:05] it sounds even louder :( [05:05] so maybe it is hardware... but i have another external soundcard, different model, that has the same hiss [05:06] weird.... [05:07] Stelpa, it might be the board [05:07] html: board? [05:07] [deXter]: output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/796746/ I also got error message: "Disk /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 doesn't contain a valid partition table". I did delete the partition after unsuccessfully trying to format it [05:09] your connections,/ and or your motherboard [05:09] <[deXter]> nimbiotics, okay can you paste the output of mount [05:10] Stelpa, try differance headphones [05:10] Stelpa: do you hear the sound from both alsa and jack? or only when jack is enabled? [05:10] Is there a way to ban one mac address in ifconfig to restrict it from connecting by default? [05:11] pksadiq: both [05:11] html: i will try... [05:12] [deXter]: output(s) at http://paste.ubuntu.com/796748/ ... Thought I had a good idea and deleted the extended partition; nothing got fixed. Won't touch again [05:13] well, that sucked [05:13] wtf! [05:13] just wiped my system [05:13] html: different headphones dont have the hiss!?!? [05:13] whyyy [05:13] so it's my headphones??? [05:14] whoa.... nice catch [05:14] even managed to wipe out my win 7 install [05:14] had to do a clean install :/ lost all my stuff [05:14] alien2050: but what can i do??? [05:14] i dont want to use the cheap headphones i tested with [05:14] *shakes fist* Y U NO USER FRIENDLY [05:14] i want to use the headphones i got for christmas :( [05:14] thats why i've been spending the past 5 hours on this :*( [05:16] maybe you can use the headphones on an amplifier which receives the signal from the sound card [05:16] not directly connected into it [05:16] <[deXter]> nimbiotics, Well yep, looks like your partition table is messed up; do you remember how it was before this happened? [05:16] hi, how do I know if a process such as skype, ettercap etc is running or not using the terminal? [05:17] doodie: ps -ef | grep -i skype [05:17] for example [05:17] Doodie: "ps aux | grep foo" [05:17] thanks alot [05:17] StepNjump: sudo apt-get install arptables [05:18] Doodie: the "ps -ef" vs "ps aux" are pretty much the same, but alien2050's "grep -i" is better, case insenstive [05:18] [deXter]: afaik, 3 partitions; sda1 110.8Gb, ext4; sda2 1012Mb, extended; and sda5 1012Mb of unknown type [05:18] zykotick9, if the process is running what should it show ? [05:19] alien2050: i dont have one of those... [05:19] Doodie: a line other then the grep search [05:19] alien2050: also, i just tested the headphones with another computer [05:19] also ubuntu [05:19] <[deXter]> nimbiotics, what do you mean unknown type? [05:19] and [05:19] zykotick9, yes thanks [05:19] it sounds fine (i didn't use the external card) [05:19] [deXter]: thats what gparted was reporting [05:19] so i am guessing the card is incompatible with the headphones? [05:19] doodie: it will show something... otheriwse it won't show [05:20] <[deXter]> nimbiotics, But didn't you create the partitions or did someone else did? [05:21] stelpa: which is even weirder... I can't see how this would work, except if for some reason some ultra high frequencies are generated by the external sound card and caught by the headphones [05:21] how do i uninstall some apps? I just upgraded to the newest version and I want it to be sort of stock [05:21] i actually forgot how to do it in the terminal [05:21] like more than 22000 hz, and the headphones can catch it, and you have extremely good hearing [05:21] [deXter]: I can only guess those are the partitions created at installtion ... I'm not very linux savvy [05:21] VisualAssassin: "sudo apt-get remove foo" [05:21] either way, it doesnt seem related to the computer anymore... [05:22] thanks im gonna give it a try [05:22] alien2050: these ARE nice headphones, but no, the noise doesn't sound that high pitched [05:22] try using xmms to play music and adjust using the equalizer [05:22] or play with sweep or audacity, try different noise combos [05:23] other than that I'm stomped [05:23] no, it isn't like that [05:23] even if i turn the volume all the way down [05:23] the headphones still make the noise [05:23] its not the signal that is causing it [05:23] it's something odd with the external card [05:23] hmmmm...... could it be the power adapter ? [05:23] Stelpa: mute the cd and mic inputs [05:23] skilz: yeah he already did that part :) [05:24] Is there a way to limit the processes usage of memory? [05:24] I've had this issue a long time ago with the external power coming to the device.... or is it USB powered [05:24] het guys [05:24] then maybe change usb port... disconnect other usb devices... [05:25] What can I do if a process is consuming too much memory that it slows my computer down? [05:25] alien2050: the only other usb device is my mouse >_< [05:25] !swapiness [05:25] LinuX2half: uninstall i guess [05:26] LinuX2half: what process?

[05:29] lahwran: whch DE is he in presently? [05:29] lahwran, at login [05:29] lahwran: you choose the session at the login screen with the cog icon [05:29] Is there any reliable and hassle free way to sync my android phone and videos/audio on my laptop running ubuntu? [05:29] I really dont know if I would customize anyways because I like the look of the interface [05:30] let me be more specific: how does the switching to kde work in the login tool that xubuntu uses? [05:30] I've been fiddling with this shit all day [05:30] lahwran: which release is he using? [05:30] Like... just get it fucking right [05:30] 11.10 [05:30] lahwran: then when you click your username, you should see a cog, click it and select kde from there [05:31] using ubuntu is becoming an exercise in masochism [05:31] how can i encrypt everything under /some/dir so it's not possible to read the content of /some/dir when drive is not mounted? [05:31] visual1ce: Please keep the language clean. [05:31] pangolin: do you know answer on my question ? [05:31] ActionParsnip: thanks! I'll tell him that. [05:32] quebre: sorry i don't. [05:32] visual1ce: sounds more like an android issue, given the age etc [05:32] lahwran: or click the session button on the login page: http://s5.postimage.org/92u4s90mv/wubi_xubuntu_login.jpg [05:32] thats bullshit - there are working solutions for windows and mac [05:32] alien2050: the other external has it, but its less noticeable [05:33] visual1ce: pay me [05:33] lahwran: the cog thing only applies if xubuntu uses lightdm [05:33] pay u for what/ [05:33] visual1ce, enough with the language [05:33] ActionParsnip: erm, well, I guess we'll see if he logs back in and gets on irc confused :P [05:33] [deXter]: ... any comments? [05:33] Ok, sorry for the language [05:33] visual1ce: never had an issue here, I use dropbox and its great [05:34] lahwran: basically you want a kde session, the main word to remember is 'session' [05:34] Stelpa: ....I don't know what else could help at this point... at least you've made progress in identifying what works and doesn't :) [05:34] Does anybody have a working reliable method to sync video and audio with an android? [05:34] visual1ce: or bluetooth the files over//// [05:34] visual1ce: works great :) [05:34] i guess :\ [05:35] ActionParsnip: bluetooth gigs of video?? [05:35] so if i have a bunch of wav files i first gotta manually convert and bluetooth it over? how about an itunes for ubuntu? [05:35] I know I can get rid of the password that is on here for me to log in and perform other tasks, how do I get rid of it entirely? [05:35] <[deXter]> nimbiotics, Well I suggest running testdisk and see if the partitions it detects matched what you had earlier. if it did, then you can write the partition table [05:35] what about video files that need to be converted beforehand...?? [05:36] too much effort [05:36] what about podcasts [05:36] VisualAssassin: sudo -i [05:36] and if I dont want a password what value do I put in? [05:37] Ask the Calibre developer to expand his enterprize [05:37] sorry makara, I just saw your message... what is arptables [05:38] [deXter]: 1) How do I know whether they match or not? 2)How do I write the partition table? & 3) What if the dont match? [05:38] banshee does the best job but it comes nowhere near to itunes [05:38] ive tried miro, rhythmbox, compiling ffmpeg for conversions... nada [05:38] miro and rhythmbox are both unstable [05:38] StepNjump: you can use iptables to route / block addresses, but arptables is easier. install and type "man arptables" Better you read about this stuff than just get the shortcut [05:40] hello. i was talked into using geany instead of code::blocks as IDE for C++. Things going well, but now when I build and run, it says "permission denied" I have changed to /home directories in build commands, I cannot find answer through search [05:40] are you still here makara [05:40] visual1ce: deadbeef works well here [05:40] <[deXter]> nimbiotics, Well it'll show a list of partitions as to what it thinks is correct.. like it will detect say ext4, followed by w/e and then see if this looks reasonable. there will be an option to save/write the parition table after it's finished scanning [05:40] i don't see you connected makara [05:40] alien2050: the best solution would just be to make my internal soundcard's output jack less wobbly [05:41] do I have to change the permissions on the executable? is there a way to make this permission set without doing this? [05:41] is their anyway to tighten a 1/8th inch audio jack? [05:41] its really loose [05:41] so when i plug into it, the sound goes through [05:41] !ot | Stelpa [05:41] Stelpa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:42] visual1ce: what is it you like in itunes? [05:42] How to terminate streamripper? ^C does not seem very elegant to me. [05:42] it works [05:42] man rfkill [05:42] visual1ce: that's it? [05:42] yep [05:43] give me something that works [05:43] thats all [05:43] visual1ce: ok, what doesn't work in the other apps? [05:43] there is no way of syncing playlists - ive given up on that [05:43] thats not a dealbreaker for me [05:44] visual1ce: do you mean to a crappy iPod? [05:44] but I would like my music manager/player to be able to handle my android phone and library [05:44] podcasts, video, audio [05:45] hi folks! I am using ubuntu 10.10, but I can't get my wireless working. Please help! [05:45] so if i sync a .mov file to my phone it should convert it automatically to mpeg before transferring it over [05:45] how do i put ubnutn/linux on y andriod [05:45] visual1ce: can't really say there. I don't use an app to 'sync' songs to the device. I just transfer them via USB when I want new stuff and delete them when I want a change. [05:45] i have found no way to do that in banshee [05:45] epicdude: get 11.10. seriously, don't even bother with wireless on older versions [05:46] html: there are how-tos to run a minimal linux with lxde, then vnc to it [05:46] i have found no way to transfer a wmv file over to my galaxy s2 - banshee tells me my phone doesn't support it and says it doesn't have a converter [05:46] but the phone does support it [05:46] visual1ce: I use nautilus, the device appears as a usb storage device and I copy files to it as I need or remove old ones [05:46] makara : I am using wubi, so I am bit reluctant about upgrading the distro as it may scre my windows installation [05:46] visual1ce: what model handset> [05:46] galaxy s2 [05:47] i really dont want to go back to windows and i cant use a mac os on a pc [05:47] or can i? [05:47] You can. <_< [05:47] epicdude: you should really check out 11.10 live cd and then try ndiswrapper on live on the case your adapter is supported only this way [05:47] visual1ce: http://www.craig-russell.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s2-usb-storage-and-tethering-with-ubuntu/ [05:48] visual1ce: how long did that take me to find? [05:48] epicdude: it might also work on the fly in 11.10 [05:48] thx - but thats just connecting the device - i can do that already [05:48] My CD drive doesn't work :( === buggedmedusa is now known as virtuaposta [05:49] what im talking about is getting a reliable software connection between phone and laptop - there is no such software for ubuntu at the moment [05:49] visual1ce: then use it as a usb storage device, as I described earlier.. [05:49] banshee is good for audio files [05:49] epicdude: try usb live cd [05:49] ok [05:49] hrm, anyone able to tell me how to get the ubuntu launcher on the side of my desktop to hide until I want it to show up? [05:49] thanks folks for the help :) [05:49] visual1ce: use nautilus, it's a file manager, you are managing the files on the phone.. [05:49] too much trouble for me - i have to workaround and waste time just to stick with ubuntu [05:49] epicdude: I highly recommend using unetbootin [05:49] b0nn: unity hide settings are set in ccsm [05:50] alien2050 : Sure === fhsdhv is now known as bootx [05:50] ccsm? [05:50] nvm AP - thx for your help [05:50] b0nn: in a terminal type ccsm [05:50] visual1ce: so its too much trouble to copy and paste files to a storage device to put sonds on the phone? [05:50] not installed [05:50] b0nn: sudo apt-get install ccsm [05:50] b0nn: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:51] makara: ^ [05:51] firstly i need to do tagging, i need to converting and then i need to organise them... thats what i want the software to do for me [05:51] visual1ce: Excuse me for interrupting, but what are you trying to do? [05:51] b0nn: does the terminal not recommend a package to install? [05:51] I found a command to prevent the wifi to connect. Before I would use ifconfig wlanX down but now I issued a rfkill block MacAddress and it works even better I think. I would like to keep it like that everytime I boot up.. In which configuration file should I add this instruction please? [05:51] ok i uninstalled emerald but I still cant untinstall compiz [05:51] visual1ce: there is tagging in banshee and such, there is also easytag wheich is great for tagging [05:51] yeah, the not installed warning tells me what to install, I just found it... that I in order to fix something that was working yesterday I need to install something else [05:51] mmm [05:51] well there are two things ive been trying to do for past day now: transfer a .wmv file to my galaxy s2 in banshee === apple is now known as Guest51047 [05:52] i have both programmes - banshee is great for tagging (at least for audio) - audio works great and i have it working great in banshee [05:52] just as i like it [05:52] ... [05:52] hello [05:53] visual1ce: then once the tags are done, copy the data over with nautilus [05:53] StepNjump: it depends, but if you want it systemwide, I like to put it in /etc/rc.local [05:54] sorry I lost the internet for a second.. If somebody replied, I didn't see it [05:54] videos - mpegs ok, but cant get wmvs working (supported on my device) and movs banshee says not supported by my device (correct) and no converter [05:54] alien2050: yes systemwide [05:54] How to terminate streamripper? ^C does not seem very elegant to me. [05:54] many of the files im working with are wav files on my computer - easytag doesn't work with wav files [05:54] ok thanks a lot alien2050... So I just put my command in there?

Version 1.64.6-1 (oneiric), package size 90 kB, installed size 224 kB [05:55] StepNjump: test it beforehand though and ensure you're running the right command as I believe it will run on every run level change [05:55] I don't think you can tag wav files [05:55] StepNjump: you need to put it BEFORE the exit 0 statement [05:56] i hope they get a good media management/player programme happening... miro looks like a contender but it lacks many of the nice features that banshee has [05:56] alien2050: this file is parsed upon logging in? [05:56] Welp. I need sleeeeeep. [05:56] roger that alien2050 [05:56] ditto === Vaelstrom is now known as Vael_Sleep [05:57] visual1ce: I like miro, banshee crashes on adding files constantly. [05:57] StepNjump: yep, since booting will go from init to runlevel1,2,3,4,5 so it will run [05:57] visual1ce: try others, until you find one that suits you best [05:58] bullgard6: are you using kde? [05:58] bullgard6: or do you have a lot of drive space to install KDE, or do you have Qt based apps installed already?

[05:59] !info kstreamripper [05:59] Package kstreamripper does not exist in oneiric [05:59] hmm [05:59] ActionParsnip: I ave installed one or two KDE programs in addition to GNOME. [06:00] alien2050: the rc.local gave me the comment in there that I need to put an exit 0 in case something went wrong... does the ending exit 0 sufficient or are they requesting to add an exit 0 for each and every statement in there?

That's awesome.. [06:03] bullgard6: Thanks. [06:04] I will reboot and let you know how it turned out afterwards... If you are still here [06:04] alien2050 see up [06:04] StepNjump: cool, let me know [06:05] ActionParsnip: I have tried an alternative to tunapie,namely streamtuner2.

Thank you. [06:10] mmm did you see your bios go through it's normal thing first? [06:10] Ehom: what are your specs? are u running live cd or usb ? [06:10] Ehom: do you mean 'install' when you say 'download' [06:10] Yea its on the USB and [06:10] version 11.10 ehom? [06:10] installed yea newsest version [06:11] Ehom: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [06:11] It was workin for like a week [06:11] ehom: you can hit F1 as soon as you see the purple screen [06:11] Ehom, what kind of hardware you running this on? Does this do this multiple times? [06:11] it will go in debug mode [06:11] well, more verbose than debug [06:12] Nah its the first time its happen it started today [06:12] Ehom: you downloaded the ISO and put it on the USB, did you test the ISO before you transferred it? [06:12] but you'll see what's happening... in more details.... [06:12] nah [06:12] Ehom: then you have no way of knowing the data is complete and consistent [06:12] !md5 | Ehom [06:12] Ehom: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [06:13] Ehom: bad image will make a bad install, source is irrelevant [06:13] agreed [06:13] if the initial install went well though, more than likely the image was good. [06:13] Ehom: is the OS installed, or are you trying to install it? [06:13] i already installed it [06:13] I think I did something wrong [06:14] Ehom: what GPU do you use?> [06:14] ehom, I might be totally off here because I'm new to linux but I suggest you test your RAM maybe? Might be that your ram went bad since... Just fishing here.... please forgive me [06:14] like I think i forced shut it down while it was running [06:14] My ram is 3.5gb [06:14] did you change anything using the sudo command ehom since? [06:14] Hi everyone. I was wondering why I don't have a config-`uname -r` in /boot, and where I could find it? [06:14] Ehom: that'll possibly do it. What video chip do you use? the RAM amount is of no value [06:14] Ehom: do you see grub menu when you start the computer? [06:14] I tried to install team viewer thru wdget [06:15] Intel Premium 4 [06:15] ehom there is a way you can test your RAM I think when you boot up from Linux. You may ask the other guys here on how to do that [06:15] Ehom: what about the VIDEO CARD [06:15] I ve borrowed 2 books on ubuntu linux [06:15] 512mb [06:15] mmmm that could be the reason... [06:16] if you press ctrl alt F2, can you switch to the TTY? [06:16] HockeyInJune: sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-`uname -r` [06:16] nah I had mint and it was workig fine [06:16] Ehom: which chip, not the video ram amount [06:16] Greetings everyone :) I'm new @ ubuntu and need a little help [06:16] what do you mean you installed 2 books ehom [06:16] borrowed [06:17] did you 'upgrade' to ubuntu or did you install it clean? [06:17] Thanks ActionParsnip. [06:17] well books wouldn't mess up with your system ehom [06:17] install it clean [06:17] i know [06:17] HockeyInJune: http://paste.ubuntu.com/796782/ [06:17] books to read ehom or you mean an external hard drive? [06:17] Ehom: doesn't answer the question.. [06:18] and it worked for 1 week ehom? [06:18] :( Thanks, ActionParsnip. [06:18] yes [06:18] I borrowed books from the library so i can LEARN ubuntu [06:18] ehom and all of a sudden... nothing ....? [06:18] i forced shut my computer then nuthin [06:19] did you force it off without normally logging off and shutdown? [06:19] yes but did you issue any commands using the sudo command ehom? [06:19] when you brun the ubuntu iso to the cd DO NOT run any programs and dont use you computer until done [06:19] Ehom: i suggest you boot to liveCD and fsck your partition(s) you may have damaged the data with a hard shutdown [06:19] yea [06:19] Yesterday I lost all my mp3's just because I ran a script I didn't understand. Often times we'll do things that we d [06:19] dont understand... it's the cost of learning [06:19] ah! ehom that's probably your problem! [06:20] Hello! I installed Ubuntu 11.10 recerntly. At one point I cancelled the update process and later on resarting the system found that the cursor is only blinking. It gives kernel panic error killing init syncing something. I/O errors as well, I guess. How can I fix it? [06:20] Ok now you need aguy like ActionParsnip to help you out [06:20] i wanted to download php [06:20] you might have to reinstall your ubuntu [06:20] your boot loader is stuffed [06:20] Ehom: your main concern is getting the OS running right now. No OS == no PHP [06:20] Recovery mode doesn't allow to input command and in normal mode Ctrl+F1..6 sessions also don't give prompt to input username [06:20] yes thats right [06:21] Ehom: so quit worrying about anything else until the OS is bootable [06:21] Ehom, stephenh thats why you do a dualboot and test one os to get it to work , if your mess up its just a dummy os,, [06:21] Like I was told: NEVER pull the power cord or force a system to turn off.. that's not a shut down! Ideally you would need a UPC on Ubuntu otherwise you risk to loose your data [06:21] Yea i cant do nothing until I figure it out [06:21] Your data is PROBABLY ok... so don't make it worse [06:21] Yea but its not the bootloader [06:21] Here is my suggestion for it's worth.. boot up with a pen drive [06:21] did you? [06:22] Ehom, did you make a full back up? [06:22] Yes but the only thing that is worth to you is your data right? [06:22] who cares about a distro. You can always reinstall [06:22] I hardly had anything on Ubuntu [06:22] Yes always back up Ehom like html says [06:22] deja vu is really good Ehom [06:23] Ehom: boot to liveCD or USB and fsck the partition [06:23] oh so you are ok then [06:23] yea I will [06:23] I have to redownload the ISO and put t on my pen drivwe [06:23] Thanks ActionParsnip, all is back to normal now. [06:23] can you see your partition Ehom when you run gparted? [06:23] U THRE [06:23] yep [06:24] Ehom: you see your partition from gparted? [06:24] Ehom, not just back up, do a full clone ever so often/or when your about to do something every risky [06:24] StepNjump: let me know if the rc.local trick worked in a private message, I'll leave it open [06:24] very* [06:24] html: how you do that? with dd? [06:25] r u going to bed alien2050 [06:25] oh yeah... :) [06:25] Ehom: so there is no 'downloading' or 'installing' of ubuntu, its already installed, the installed OS is having the issue.. [06:25] I will send u a offline msg here on irc [06:25] u will get the message when you wake up [06:26] it's 1:30am.... that's it for me... cya! [06:26] thanks again alien2050 for all your help [06:26] good night [06:26] hey no problem! [06:26] good night [06:26] ehome what's up [06:26] check your messages tomorrow [06:26] so how do I fix ubunto [06:26] ehom? [06:26] Ehom: I told you [06:26] yea [06:26] stephenh, im not totally sure HOW to, but i know of,,,,,, clonezilla, ? theres about dozen apps ,,, for it [06:27] i hate clonezilla [06:27] can you go to TTY? [06:27] well he can go to tty ActionParsnip what should he do === SVNDR is now known as svndr [06:28] im having a lot of trouble uninstalling certain apps that i dont want anymore [06:28] You didn't back up your system with dd Ehom ? [06:28] clonezilla? do u know how to help me with it? or a app simular? [06:28] what do you see in TTY ehom [06:29] dd? means? [06:29] Hello! I installed Ubuntu 11.10 recerntly. At one point I cancelled the update process and later on resarting the system found that the cursor is only blinking. It gives kernel panic error killing init syncing something. I/O errors as well, I guess. How can I fix it? [06:29] html install roundup [06:29] it's great [06:29] wats tty [06:29] is it to report bugs html [06:29] html: its a data copying command, it can also mean 'disk destroyer' if you use it wrongly [06:29] Ehom: Ctrl+Alt+F1 [06:29] press ctrl alt F2 [06:29] or F1 [06:29] Ehom: Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to desktop [06:30] aaschez: boot to root recovery console and run: sudo apt-get -f install [06:30] so wat do I do in there [06:30] ActionParsnip: dd could be dangerous? [06:30] StepNjump: if you get the of and if the wrong way around, yes [06:30] wish ubuntu had a system restore like msft [06:31] mmmm that's good to know [06:31] StepNjump: it can do, you just need to implement it. There is an entry on brainstorm for it. I always turn system restore off. [06:32] you see something ehom? [06:32] no more purple screen ehom? [06:32] you see login?

[06:33] oh yeah? where can we download it from ActionParsnip [06:33] Yes flood.. sorry Im human [06:33] StepNjump: its not downloadable per-se, you'd use a few tools and commands to take your own snapshots when you need it and such [06:33] Enter === xInterlopeRx|DT is now known as good [06:33] yes i enables auto login [06:33] ehom do you see a log on screen now after pressing ctrl alt F1 === good is now known as good|night [06:34] stepninja I havent tried [06:34] auto login???? mmmmm sounds like an auto destruction sequence [06:34] StepNjump: commands like partimage can take an image of a partition which you can then use to roll back to that point [06:35] ok like a collectio of scripts ActionParsnip ? [06:35] TRY ehom when you are at the purple screen.... please try.. just don't log in... just tell us if you see somethin [06:35] oh nice... good to know.. Wish I had more time to be here.. We learn a lot [06:36] StepNjump: no, its a command. You will need to boot to lto take the image of the unmounted partition and have a suitably large partition to spit the image to (mounted writable), partimage can use bz2 to compress the data. Its one of the advantages of a small system partition === Hiz is now known as Guest89398 [06:36] ActionParsnip: prompt is not allowing me to input anything [06:36] I wonder if ehom speaks english or maybe it's my french accent that's coming through my writing ???

[06:52] aaschez WATS THE PROBLEM [06:52] ok I cant remove tweetdeck or compiz [06:52] I am ANONYMOUS [06:52] hahaha aaschez [06:52] Ehom: I installed Ubuntu 11.10 recerntly. At one point I cancelled the update process and later on resarting the system found that the cursor is only blinking. It gives kernel panic error killing init syncing something. I/O errors as well, I guess. How can I fix it? [06:52] StepNjump: ? [06:53] yep aaschez [06:53] StepNjump: What's funny? [06:53] hi again folks! Now I have ubuntu 11.10 and when I try to connect to wireless network, it asks for a password, after accepting the password it tries to connect to wireless and asks me again for the password in 2 mints or so. I never says the password is wrong. Kindly help! [06:53] It never says* [06:53] aaschez nothing..! [06:54] ActionParsnip: are you still here [06:54] aaschez this is a boot loader problem I exprenced this a week ago [06:54] so it keeps asking me for the wireless password again and again and never connects to wireless [06:54] hi can any one tell me how to stall lilo on lubuntoo [06:54] Ehom: so it can be restore with all the grub restore ways?

[06:59] i say plug it out and throw away the box [06:59] use another [06:59] NO GET TO UR FAMILY U FOOL [06:59] nullv4lue lol [07:00] no it's because a friend of mine told me that he lost the reference to his superblock... I don't back up backups nullv4lue [07:00] Ehom: I miss your text if you don't my nick properly. Use tab auto-completion.

I just spoke to a friend of mine tonight who told me he lost data on his external hard drive. I asked him how it happened.. he told me NEVER hotswap drives unless I know what I am doing.. He told me that he had lost his superblock.. Do you know what that is and what I should do so it will never happen to me? [07:05] * nullv4lue mode +q [07:05] nullv4lue: just keep on topic here [07:05] Hello. Someone got an answer to that? http://askubuntu.com/questions/79647/how-to-get-suspend-when-idle-if-no-user-logged-in-lightdm [07:06] can anyone tell me where i can edit the KDEInit thing? [07:07] removed screenlets and it still wants to load the screenlets-daemon.py [07:07] StepNjump: that shouldn't happen if you "release" the disk before removing it. the superblock is the first block of a filesystem following the bootblock, holding information about fs-type, size, files etc. [07:08] ok just need to figure out the tweetdeck removal and ill be squared away [07:08] php: ask in #kubuntu [07:08] kthx [07:09] Can i make ubuntu faster [07:09] StepNjump: if it happens, it usually killed only the 1st superblock of a fs. use dumpe2fs /dev/sdXY to find copies of it and restore it with fsck -b /dev/sdXY [07:10] ok llutz_ .. that's what I thought. He told me to be careful to mount a ext HDD once linux is running (hotswapping).. I don't know what he meant so i thought I would research it. He suggests I boot up with all the drives attached to the system ahead of time llutz_ [07:10] sorry for repeating your nick twice [07:10] nice to know!!!! great I will document that in my KB [07:10] StepNjump: you can mount an external drive anytime, just don't unplug it without unmounting first [07:11] elmorules16: nothing will make your cpu faster, but if you look at system monitor you can tell what takes time away from the cpu, there may be 'stuff' you dont need running that is [07:11] you know your stuff...! He works in *nix environment and couldn't find the way. He even told me it was backed up 3 times (superblock) [07:11] StepNjump: USB is meant to be hotswapped, i don't know how well e-sata works with it. you only should be sure to sync the fs before removing it [07:12] ok Ben64 tnx... yes except when shutting down the system. i guess the logoff procedure takes care of it for me or would I be better off to umount manually everytime b4 shutdown now? === clonak_ is now known as clonak [07:12] StepNjump: the shutdown process includes unmounting all drives, so that'd be fine [07:12] StepNjump: shutdown will try to umount all local fs cleanly [07:12] ok llutz_ so if the kernel is still busy writing to it, it just won't allow me to umount right? [07:13] StepNjump: no, it should wait then [07:13] I'm paranoid about my backup drives!.... I had so much crap happening lately... Wouldn't want to loose anything [07:13] I want to have two ubuntu distros [07:14] It's nice, it even tells you when you are in the bash shell when trying to release the drive.. nice feature [07:14] Someone got an answer to that? http://askubuntu.com/questions/79647/how-to-get-suspend-when-idle-if-no-user-logged-in-lightdm [07:14] so what would a user do Ben64 and llutz_ if the system becomes irresponsive? [07:14] heyo [07:14] Is it possible to have two ubuntu distos ? on same machine ? [07:14] unresponsive... sorry [07:15] StepNjump: 1st step: wait [07:15] Mahesh, you have some questions about that? [07:15] how do i do a sudo cd /directory [07:15] StepNjump: try getting to console (CTRL+ALT+F1), try ssh'ing in, REISUB [07:15] apparently i don't have permissions to go into the directory [07:15] yes urlin2u [07:15] michaelgamble: you don't [07:15] Mahesh, yes many more if done right. [07:15] michaelgamble: sudo -i then cd /wherever but be sure you really need to do so [07:16] michaelgamble: what are you trying to accomplish? [07:16] can u pls let me know how to do that ? I want both 10 and 11 dist on same machine [07:16] Mahesh, the key here is the extended partition if you want to go above 4 primary partitions. [07:16] is there an ubuntu gui equivelent [07:16] Mahesh: sure, one per partion [07:16] I'm trying to edit and ssh authorized key file [07:17] michaelgamble: that should be in ~/.ssh === Hiz is now known as Guest4801 [07:17] Ben64: ssh ing into the system you mean via ssh???? [07:17] StepNjump: yep, sometimes if graphics are frozen I can still get in via ssh and kill the offending process [07:18] Im glad I have a UPS... I guess I'll have to find the drivers so that it issue the shutdown command in case I loose power here [07:18] Ben64: you mean via TTY..? SSH is a secure shell.. via remote computer you mean? [07:19] is there any cool IRC i can join [07:19] StepNjump: yes, needs 2nd computer with network access [07:19] StepNjump: yeah remotely, I use my phone to ssh in [07:19] yes ps -a Ben64 [07:19] yeah try #freenode [07:20] oh nice.... I will have to look into that... Not that it barely happen but wouldn't want to loose all my files... Id rather be safe than sorry [07:21] StepNjump: you should mount your external drive with "sync" option. it might slow down it a bit but makes sure you don't loose buffered data on power loss/removing disk too early... [07:21] I guess it doesn't very often that your systems freeze like that llutz_ Ben64 [07:22] mmmm really? [07:22] sync option thanks llutz_ [07:22] StepNjump: it never happened here, iirc [07:22] i am back here , just lost the connection? [07:23] So if I send the umount command and it's still writing, I guess it will not allow me to complete the process right llutz_ Ben64 [07:24] correct [07:24] I want to install the two distos 10 and 11 ubuntu on same machine ?one for development and other for just browsing [07:25] StepNjump: you'll see a delay before the shell comes back to the prompt [07:25] I am not able to understand how to share both dist with same folder [07:25] lololololololollo [07:25] We are Anonymous [07:25] We do not forgive [07:25] We do not forget [07:26] Expect Us. [07:26] ok ok llutz_ and thanks for the commands earlier in case I loose my superblock [07:26] no worries [07:26] what is the best FS that could be used on linux in order not to loose data llutz_ [07:26] StepNjump: idk, i prefer ext4 but... [07:27] so i'm having problems getting a PPA created: seems that my install script cannot put binaries into /usr/bin/ https://launchpadlibrarian.net/89333622/buildlog_ubuntu-oneiric-amd64.rust_0.09-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz [07:27] there are plenty other ones .... supposedly some are best for long time storage, others are better at seek time, etc.. llutz_ [07:27] (i see the same error in pbuilder, too) [07:27] I have a lot of readin to do [07:28] StepNjump: ext4 does enough journaling and so on that it should work well [07:28] StepNjump: i never really cared about that. i used xfs once for some test but haven't seen any advantages for me in it, so i came back to ext4 [07:28] StepNjump: go with solaris or bsd and use zfs :) [07:28] Someone got an answer to that? http://askubuntu.com/questions/79647/how-to-get-suspend-when-idle-if-no-user-logged-in-lightdm [07:29] ok kcantu llutz_ [07:30] why llutz_ [07:30] StepNjump: if your data really matters, using some sort of RAID or BTRFS or ZFS with the right kind of mirroring is good [07:30] StepNjump: from what i read, it is the most advanced fs today with some really neat features [07:30] I used to love VMS [07:30] hi. i have two user on a single 10.04 machine. i want to ecrypt only /home/user1 . i do not want to encrypt whole /home. how can i do this? help [07:30] when I was ehom's age [07:31] I want to install two distribution 10 and 11 ubuntu on same machine , any body tell me how partition to be made, how the /home will be shared for both /// [07:32] mmm I could look into it.. a friend of mine though lost all his family pictures years ago when he installed raid on his win machine.. poor guy... [07:32] mahesh: make a separate partition for /home [07:32] and virus wise.. any of you running any antiviral app? [07:33] not me [07:34] cuz I am slowly transfering my data from my old win machine. I'm SURE I have virusi in there... I just don't know if they could run in here... probably not ig [07:35] StepNjump: viri are not a linux-problem (yet). [07:36] yes probably thanks to chmod! [07:36] StepNjump: most computer users should better try to use /dev/brain than any antivir-snakeoil. [07:38] I wonder if it would be best at times to run a desktop limited user account for daily use and thus reserve a separate account JUST for system administration [07:38] /dev/brain lol [07:38] StepNjump: always a good idea to separate accounts, keep them as limited as possible [07:39] What the heck.. I'll try.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus/Avg and see if it slows down my computer much [07:39] really... .. I'm glad you say that. I kinda had a feeling about it. [07:39] with different passwords of course [07:40] Someone got an answer to that? http://askubuntu.com/questions/79647/how-to-get-suspend-when-idle-if-no-user-logged-in-lightdm [07:40] cannot access /dev/brain: No such file or directory [07:41] lol overclucker [07:42] overclucker: common problem today... [07:42] kids learn nothing in school anymore.. no wonder [07:44] did they ever learn anything? :> [07:44] I took a class with some kids for work recently.. I couldn't stop noticing the kids texting during the class.. unbelievable! [07:45] the usual; "You re not special" [07:45] I saw a lot of that in my technical communication class last term [07:45] guys, can someone tell me where should I ask gnome-shell related doubts ? [07:46] maybe there's a #gnome ? [07:46] Humbedooh: I tried #gnome, no response :( [07:47] I want to re-install system. What kind of partitioning scheme should I follow? For a 320 GB HDD, is this fine - / 10GB, /var - 10GB, /usr - 10GB, swap - 5GB and rest to /home ? [07:47] In my day, they would have ended up at the p..'s office in a nutshell overclucker [07:47] aaschez: extra /usr makes no sense imho [07:48] stepnjump, that's when you set up a jammer in the classroom :> [07:48] llutz_: extra /usr ?? I used /, /var, /usr, /home, swap [07:48] <_HoochMan_> najam: -> gnome related irc channels http://live.gnome.org/GnomeIrcChannels [07:48] hello [07:48] aaschez: why separate /usr? you cannot mount it ro anymore, so where is the benefit of it? [07:49] i'm wondering, does anyone in here know how to create a printer that uses a command other than lpr to print? [07:49] you can do it with openoffice using spadmin, but the pseudoprinter that openoffice creates only shows up in that app [07:50] I know this is off topic but I'm 46 now and when I was in primary school, they would have us stand in line for long minutes until they heard nothing from us before we could get in.. even at -20 Celcius (0 F) before we could get in... If an idiot would move his boots and the teachers would hear a noise, we'd stay out for another 5 minutes... Now that's dicipline. [07:50] Hey, I built an ubuntu 11.04 debootstrap/chroot install and used the ubuntu bootcd package to create a bootable CD (with discover v2 included). I boot from a qemu emulator, but despite the driver being loaded and an IP seemingly being gotten, I can't seem to ping anything from the guest OS. Any hints on how to get this working? [07:51] StepNjump: ooh, _those days_ .. [07:51] When it's 32F, my kids aren't even allowed to go out for recess.. wow! ... I wonder what would happen to our cozy people if we lost the grid!!!! ouch [07:52] yep! llutz_ And EVEN then.. it was nothing when my parents went to school with the nuns and the monks.. those really knew discipline let me tell you somethin! [07:52] llutz_: I consider splitting /var off usually. I'm thinking of having /usr. Afaik, /usr got most of the OS. So having /,/var,/home better? Because /usr doesn't overflow so much? But /usr is probably the biggest partition other than /home. [07:52] all we had ws a no ice ball rule, when it came to recess [07:52] guys, print screen isn't workin :( [07:53] aaschez: having /usr on extra partition makes no sense to me at all anymore. consider moving /tmp to prevent / from being filled [07:53] llutz_: I still hear the sound of silence in the summer when kids would barely move their little feet and you could hear the sound of small gravel under their feet in order to challenge the teacher's orders.. I tell you, I can still hear it in my /dev/brain! [07:54] lol overclucker yep! [07:54] llutz_: How does separate /var helps [07:54] ? [07:54] StepNjump: i remember that, i'm 49 [07:54] hej === mariusz is now known as paulina === ServerSage_ is now known as ServerSage [07:55] _HoochMan_: It mentioned irc.gnome.org, but how do we connect to it from xchat ? I am pretty new to ircing [07:55] aaschez: /var hold logs which might increase unexpected and other temporary data. so it might be a good idea to have it extra [07:56] <_HoochMan_> najam: go to the XChat menu and select network list, there you can add the server [07:56] llutz_: So should I have /, /var, /tmp, /home only? [07:56] now I see my ex freakin out if the kids barely scratch their legs.. Hospital right away! Yet, she let them play video games... That would be a no no with me. I raised them kids. they turned really well and now that a magistrate decides that a woman is best, they will turn out spoiled... Well society can deal with all those future murders later... discipline is not a good thing according to them [07:56] specialists anymore.. go figure [07:56] aaschez: that's what i'd suggest [07:56] i heard aaschez that having a separate /tmp is good for servers for security reasons.. read that somewhere [07:57] This is a desktop installtion here [07:57] my swap on this netbook is off my SD card running at 85% swappiness and it works great! [07:57] llutz_: How much space should I assign to / , /var , /tmp ? [07:58] oh yeah llutz_ you remember that! lol... Those were the days my friend! [07:59] <_HoochMan_>: thanks, but it says I mispelled it when assing irc.gnome.org [07:59] <_HoochMan_>: sorry typo meant "adding" :) [07:59] do you guys think ubuntu will eventually suply us with a voice recognizing software eventually? [08:00] <_HoochMan_> najam: sorry, dunno what to tell you on that one [08:00] That's one good thing in MSFT... My suggestion to them is that they come up with a cloud app.. would work great [08:00] aaschez: that depends on your usage. [08:00] StepNjump: yes, definitely, but it might be after our flying cars arrive [08:00] aaschez: I found some websites that really tell you how much space to be alloted.. Do a search [08:01] StepNjump: (people have been expecting conversational talking computers since before the transistor was invented...) [08:01] it really does need voice. even phones have it aleady. [08:01] the way the phones do it is by letting a MASSIVE cluster of computers in a datacenter at Apple or Google do all the talking === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [08:02] yep I know!!! that's why I'm puzzled as to why we don't have it yet [08:02] Can someone please help me with this error? I'm new to Ubuntu and am trying to install stuff from package manager. http://paste.ubuntu.com/796843/ [08:02] We are already close to mind interraction with our computers uusing electrodes fed on /brain varlib [08:03] <_HoochMan_> najam: I just added and connected to irc.gnome.org inside of XChat, does seem to work. [08:03] and computer screen integrated in our sunglasses.. now that would be nice [08:04] * kop stomps the fsck'n crap out of lubuntu [08:04] MJ94: sorry I checked at your error. Looks like a python error but don't know much about that sorry [08:04] ok sry , better now ... [08:05] StepNjump: thanks anyway :) [08:05] kop: is lubuntu being unruly? [08:05] What happened [08:05] Is it a new install MJ94 [08:05] VM [08:06] You get this error when MJ94 [08:06] overclucker, base install of 10.04 lubuntu w/nvidia driver/kernel [08:06] virtual machine? MJ94 [08:06] after enabling the second screen the menu fonts are so small that they can not be read with a magnifying glass [08:07] StepNjump: yes [08:07] until I get a command line option or someone that regularly uses the desktop can point me to the right selections this desktop is useless [08:07] llutz_: What should be the minimum space atleast? [08:07] mmm... Why don't you uninstall VM, reboot and try to reinstall? [08:08] llutz_: My usage includes, CAD, matlab, physics simulation and coding. [08:08] aaschez: 10G for /, 5+ for /var, same for /tmp. but as i said, it depends on your usage [08:08] if you can't find it in your synaptics dpkg -l virtual and then uninstall with dpkg -p whateverpackagelisted in previous step [08:08] llutz_: Ok, thanks [08:09] overclucker, it's a 1280x720 42" wide screen and the fonts are less than 1/16" tall !! [08:09] if you can't find it in your synaptics dpkg -l virtual and then uninstall with dpkg -p whateverpackagelisted in previous step MJ94 [08:09] Hmmm. [08:09] llutz_: And what about assigning /tmp specifically for server installtion as StepNjump was saying. Is it requirted for desktop installtions? [08:09] * kop stomps the fsck'n crap out of lubuntu , again, just for good measure [08:10] aaschez: to make sure that /tmp wouldn't fill / it makes sense. on servers it has some other advantages, as you might mount /tmp ro,nodev,noexec,nosuid. [08:11] aaschez: IIRC /tmp is often a virtual folder now === mariusz is now known as paulina [08:11] jak tam : [08:11] ;P [08:12] kcantu: I didn't get you.. what all contributes to /tmp ? [08:12] to protect against database overflow [08:13] tmpfs is widely used now [08:13] so if /tmp is on the same partition as /, some noob like I was could write a ton of data there and make your system unbootable [08:13] tmpfs, didn't know that. [08:14] aaschez: The general idea is to create a partition with no execute permissions, then add it’s entry to fstab so that the un-executable block gets mounted as /tmp during boot. [08:14] main menu -> Preferences -> Customize Look and Feel. well fine , if I could read the fsck'n menu [08:14] if you have it on its own partition, filling /tmp means the admins can just laugh at noobs like me (as they did, thoroughly) [08:14] :S [08:15] if you have /tmp on tmpfs, like just in memory, then all i could do is maybe crash the machine [08:15] * kop pours a nice hot cup of stfu . [08:15] aaschez: here's a great article on the security of /tmp if you're interested; http://www.tonylake.info/?p=233 [08:17] kcantu: So its advisable to use tmpfs instead of separate /tmp? [08:17] StepNjump: Thanks, I'll read that [08:17] k [08:18] aaschez: the article says if you chmod your /tmp dir with non execute rights, you should be fine.. but I didn't read the whole thing.. Quite interesting stuff [08:18] thanks for bringing it up === php is now known as php2 [08:19] StepNjump: not chmod -x, mount /tmp noexec. those are different things [08:20] really llutz_ please explain.. you mean just the directory should be no execute, not the files? [08:20] Someone got an answer to that? http://askubuntu.com/questions/79647/how-to-get-suspend-when-idle-if-no-user-logged-in-lightdm [08:20] aaschez: yeah, some distros now use tmpfs /tmp by default [08:20] StepNjump: no, chmod -x /tmp would make /tmp inaccessible. mount -o noexec /tmp means, that you cannot run (bad) stuff from /tmp [08:21] kcantu: 'tmpfs /tmp ' ? [08:21] StepNjump: man mount | less -p noexec [08:22] mmm nice to know... aaschez please read llutz_ in case you didn't.. [08:22] kcantu: Are they two different things or... [08:22] aaschez: tmpfs and in RAM, instead of ext4 or whatever on a hard disk [08:22] aaschez: yes, two different things [08:22] kcantu: So in the installer, one can find the option for tmpfs like how one sees for swap and other fs ? [08:23] mmm interesting.. trying to install avg for ubuntu and it tells me The installation of a package which violates the quality standards isn't allowed. This could cause serious problems on your computer. Please contact the person or organisation who provided this package.. [08:23] heheheh [08:23] why use avg, when there is clamscan? [08:24] <_HoochMan_>: thanks, I am not sure if its blocked from my n/w [08:24] I will take a look === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [08:24] <_HoochMan_> najam: no problem [08:24] clamscan it will be then.. thanks overclucker [08:25] kcantu: How much RAM space you got for tmpfs? [08:25] StepNjump: it's what a lot of mail and file servers use to scan attachments and files [08:26] yeah.. I installed it a while back but I had forgotten about it [08:28] aaschez: i think Ubuntu doesn't by default mount /tmp on a tmpfs http://askubuntu.com/questions/62928/why-doesnt-tmp-use-tmpfs [08:28] Duh [08:28] aaschez: and that's probably because a lot of people (myself included, sometimes) don't have a lot of RAM [08:29] kcantu: I got 4GB here, so I guess having separate /tmp is the only better option than tmpfs ? [08:29] aaschez: and i doubt the basic installers bother with this: since nothing persistent is stored in /tmp, it would be really easy to change that setup later, if you're one of the people who wants to change it [08:30] aaschez: if you're just doing simple stuff on your computer, having it on the same volume as / is fine [08:30] ah-ok [08:30] aaschez: i never bother to customize any of that stuff here at home or on dev machines at work [08:31] aaschez: if i was building a big server for lots of people to use, then i'd do stuff like that [08:31] by default kcantu, does ubuntu automatically mounts a virtual /etc in RAM? [08:31] I was wondering, for someone who wants to start from scratch learning UNBUNTU/Linux in general (desktop, DNS, DHCP, etc etc) what book would you recommend? The "BIBLE" editions or the Orange "Unleashed" types? [08:31] StepNjump: probably not [08:32] oh ok, it just happens in /tmp dir ok... [08:32] Like Ubuntu Unleashed 2011 edition? [08:33] mybox1776: it depends on what you mean by "from scratch" [08:34] if there is anything that doesn't require immediate access to RAM, I would personally would like to create a separate partition for as i only run 1GB of RAM right now in this netbook... My SD card mounted as swap is great.. If you guys have any more ideas to alleviate the stress from the RAM, I am all ears [08:34] mybox1776: i like the O'Reilly book, Robbins and Beebe's "Classic Shell Scripting" [08:35] Im a Win Admin, and LINUX is something I want to implement. I want to scrap IIS and go w/ Apache.... [08:35] StepNjump: SD card as swap? [08:35] Oreilly's books are great [08:35] But, I want to learn Linux in general - if it all there i a book that can cover basic to advanced.... [08:35] yesssir aaschez .. I know a lot of people grind their teeth just at the thought but it works great [08:36] these unleashed books look pretty good, but... O'Reilley looks advanced off the get go [08:36] StepNjump: No, I didn't get how you are using SD card as swap [08:36] am I wrong? [08:36] mybox1776: then definitely you'll benefit from picking up more fluency with the shell, but probably want some more things to read, as well [08:36] hey all how do i re-attach sceens ? [08:36] mybox1776, A book called UNIX and Linux Administration Handbook. Is an interesting read. [08:36] It works good for me aaschez [08:36] plus, the netbook runs much cooler [08:37] StepNjump: Agreed. But 'how' are you using SD card? [08:37] I'll probably toast the card in a few months but I don't care.. I'll buy another one when that happens aaschez [08:37] ah-ok [08:37] StepNjump: buy more ram. cheaper on the long runr [08:37] a 4GB stick costs like 30€ [08:37] well, i just mounted it as swap... You know how to change your swap ? [08:38] StepNjump: Nope [08:38] While I am here, can I ask a question about possible spawning processes that don't go away in the latest version I am runningn now? For example, when running 'htop' I am seeing sooooooo many processes that are just sitting there doing nothing but taking up memory... and like, when I open chromium up, there are literally 30-30 PIDS [08:39] bindi: I know but my netbook is warrantied for 2 years. Bought it at costco on my amex so they double up the warranty... If I open it up, I just forfitted the warranty so .. maybe in 1 year, then I'll open it. I know the RAM is cheap. Its just a matter of warranty for me [08:39] check tinyurl.com/ebplxswap [08:39] aaschez: look above [08:39] mybox1776: chromium opens each tab as a different process [08:39] StepNjump: it won't void the warranty, there's a special latch you can open for accessing the ram [08:39] just follow the instructions [08:39] mybox1776: I am really curious about Michael Kerrisk's book, "The Linux Programming Interface" (this guy maintains the Linux manpages) http://man7.org/tlpi/index.html [08:40] not onthis netbook bindi [08:40] StepNjump: which? [08:40] and whenever I go to a site w/ flash (youtube) the CPU cranks at 100% and when I close the browser the .bin file forgot what it is) stays at 100% [08:40] StepNjump: You mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#What_is_swappiness_and_how_do_I_change_it.3F ? [08:40] I know, but I literrally only have one tab open... google mail... and If I do have more then close out of them, they remain... memory goes way down. I have fast sony laptop w/ 4GB ram... [08:40] I have like 520MB mem left avail. [08:41] mybox1776: Flash is a hideous wart [08:41] yep aaschez [08:41] mybox1776: huh, that's way too much then... installed too many extensions or stuff? [08:41] does vi recognize the registered trademard sign? [08:41] tell me this anyone... Ihave 67 of /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no daemon processes open [08:41] mybox1776: there are like a zillion tiny little background programs running that are never a problem, though (especially with Linux with a GUI running) [08:42] no fresh install [08:42] hi [08:42] can someone help me open a running screen of rtorrent. [08:42] A_J: screen -r name [08:42] Aspire D255-1268 bindi [08:42] mybox1776: FreeBSD/NetBSD people tell me BSD is wonderful because you don't see the clutter of so many programs running on a base system [08:42] I apt'ed chromium-browser [08:42] kcantu: BSD is the power [08:42] I have some issues with ubuntu 11.10 installation on virtualbox [08:42] kcantu can I send you a screencap?/ [08:43] can anybody help me [08:43] !ask [08:43] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [08:43] thanks bindi === clonak_ is now known as clonak [08:43] mybox1776: sure, but i bet the only problem is that Flash is a horrible piece of bloatware [08:44] ok again i ask, does vi recognize the registered trademark sign? [08:44] libnotify: unicode, sure [08:44] kk [08:44] sent.... I get that (about flash) [08:44] aaschez: swapon and swapoff are related commands [08:44] libnotify: but maybe by default it wants to talk non-UTF-8 and be annoying [08:44] I guess I am just concerned that my memory is dissapearing [08:44] eh... [08:45] so [08:45] I feel like I am running Windows Millenium/Vista [08:45] bindi: did you find a wway? [08:45] When I'm running with openbox, sometimes gnome gets invoked and the openbox menu then diasappears. Is there some way to close down gnome again? I don't see anything in 'top' than I can shut down. [08:45] StepNjump: no :P its hard [08:46] told you bindi lol [08:46] meco i just manually added the menu to the pannel [08:47] Hey all. Should I upgrade my laptop from 10.10 to 11.10? [08:47] L11: as you wish [08:47] L11: any reason you don't want to? [08:47] libnotify: my .vimrc has a chunk of thing to turn on UTF-8 whenever possible, so i get unicode: https://raw.github.com/killerswan/configs/master/.vimrc (see the block starting with "if has(multi_byte)") [08:48] No specific reason I was just wondering if it worked ok [08:48] L11: ya, it does [08:48] L11: it does [08:48] sujith_: whats the problem? [08:49] oh kcantu will check it out, thanks [08:49] oh=ok* [08:49] libnotify: OK, but what happens here is that not the entire gnome inteface appears, only the wallpaper and desktop icons. So I lose access to any menus. I see a solution in adding terminal as a desktop icon, but I'd like to have some other option for this . [08:50] libnotify: I.e. now my best solution seems the ability to log out and log on again. [08:51] meco: right click on your panel, select add to panel, then add whatever you want [08:51] libnotify: But the panel isn't here. [08:51] jf7 [08:51] Hey, I built an ubuntu 11.04 debootstrap/chroot install and used the ubuntu bootcd package to create a bootable CD (with discover v2 included). I boot from a qemu emulator, but despite the driver being loaded and an IP seemingly being gotten, I can't seem to ping anything from the guest OS. Any hints on how to get this working? [08:51] oops, sorry [08:52] Update manager only gives me the option of 10.10 to 11.04, not 10.10 to 11.10 [08:52] L11: ya, its 10.04 to 10.10, then 10.10 to 11.04 and so on [08:52] So I'd have to upgrade to 11.04 then to 11.10? [08:52] no shortcut [08:53] L11: ya, think so [08:53] L11: unless you want to do a fresh install [08:53] meco: have you logged out and in again? [08:54] Hi i want to upgrade my ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 . I have an ISO image which i downloaded. i would like to know which tool can i use for booting and installing it using a USB flashdrive [08:54] hello, how can I figure out why webmin crashes all the time? [08:55] i tried using unetbootin but its not working . gives "boot error" === kir_ is now known as limeage [08:55] arkiver: doesnt 11.04 have some built-in USB install tool? [08:55] !webmin | robde check the logs, try to make it more verbose. [08:55] robde check the logs, try to make it more verbose.: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [08:55] arkiver, try tre startup creator [08:56] the8 [08:56] arkiver: whats wrong with 'start-disk-creator'? in systems [08:56] almoxarife, wasnt aware of it ! [08:56] arkiver: should be there [08:57] llutz_: what would you recommend using instead? [08:57] robde: learn to configure the stuff manually using an editor [08:58] sometimes I install a package and the installer doesn't bother to create a link in the application menu. Is there a way to ensure it does? [08:58] llutz_: I'm able to do that. but I like to have an additioinal web administration [08:58] kcantu: Arbit but what did you mean by 'if you have it on its own partition, filling /tmp means the admins can just laugh' [08:59] almoxarife, i'm on it ! thanks [08:59] nightshade209, yep, found it ! thanks [09:00] arkiver: cool [09:00] robde: i don't use such, so i can't recommend any [09:00] how do you free up a port and disconnect any apps using it? [09:00] does somebody know a supported alternative to webmin? [09:00] StepNjump: there are some apps that wont create a .desktop link, you can create the .desktop file [09:01] how do you free up a port and disconnect any apps using it?aanyone? [09:02] almoxarife: how? [09:02] libnotify: Did you respond to my last question? I had to reboot... [09:02] StepNjump: how what? [09:02] hey guys, has anyone here encountered issues with vnc not updating on the client side? [09:02] cozmoo: find the app listening on that port (sudo lsof -i :) and stop it [09:03] like for instance, I downloaded nautilus-clamscan from the USC sofware center. It didn't create a link... I searched for whereis clamshell... nothing.. I even downloaded clamav and tried dpkg -l clam almoxarife .. I forgot the * though.. I'll try that again [09:04] sorry was getting a beer @ meco. did you win? [09:04] aaschez: if you write data to fill your / partition, bad things can happen making it unbootable [09:04] I am facing some display issues in installing ubuntu 11.10 on viirtualbox [09:04] can anybody help me [09:04] StepNjump: that would be because -calmscan is ran from within nautilus, right click on file and choose clamthing [09:04] aaschez: if you write data to fill your separate /tmp or /var partition, the system will still be able to boot [09:04] kcantu: usually /tmp is emptied at boottime [09:04] sujith_: don't ask to ask. ask straight away [09:05] libnotify: I wrote that I don't have a panel when that happens. [09:05] StepNjump: you installed a extension to nautilus [09:05] llutz_: That's what made me wonder how /tmp can cause no boting [09:05] booting [09:06] aaschez: if, however, you fill your /tmp folder which is on the same partition as /, then you might be unable to boot [09:06] kcantu: very unlikely, grep TMPTIME /etc/default/rcS [09:07] almoxarife... mmm I'm not sure I know what to mean by an extention.. Yes first off I apt-get installed clamav then I went to the software center and installed from there the nautilus-clamav frontend... Of course I could run it from the konsole but I would rather have an icon... However, I don't know where those two are located.. I tried whereis [09:07] llutz_: it is good that they've made problems more unlikely [09:08] StepNjump: nautilus is the gnome file manager, nautilus-clamav probably adds a rightclick menu to scan things in nautilus at a guess [09:08] almoxarife: I did a locate clam and found a .desktop file there.... [09:09] mm possible.. let me check that smart thinking AlanBell [09:09] StepNjump: are you using kubuntu? (you mentioned konsole) [09:09] llutz_: historically, the problem probably has more to do with how crappy old filesystems become horrible when totally full [09:09] Is Art Bell related to you? [09:10] no.. sorry terminal natty AlanBell [09:10] llutz_: if / is never corrupted when totally full, then that line in the rc script solves all the problem [09:11] kcantu: that is why there is a root-reserved amount of space when you create new filesystems. it enables root to fix it, even if a filesystem is "full " (for users) [09:11] when X boots up,how does it know which wallpaper to use? [09:11] StepNjump: no idea who Art is :) and great, thought you might be mixing kubuntu and ubuntu which works, but can get confusing. [09:11] how to run clamtk.desktop? [09:12] However AlanBell, I will be forced to transfer to kubuntu in the next few months because I can't stand the unity crappy crap! [09:13] Art Bell, look him up.. www.qrz.com/w6obb [09:13] StepNjump: lets assume you are using ubuntu and you want to scan a folder, from what you said you installed you should be able to right click on the folder with nautilus and see an option to 'clam/virus' check, same applies to a file [09:15] almoxarife: art bell started the nightly show called coasttocoast am. He's also a ham radio operator... Before george noory [09:15] StepNjump: i didnt ask you [09:16] sorry almoxarife [09:17] art bell started the nightly show called coasttocoast am. He's also a ham radio operator... Before george noory AlanBell [09:17] that's why I'm not a air traffic controller [09:18] ok, but lets try to keep things on-topic, there are a lot of people here [09:18] sure [09:18] Why not just run clamscan from the CLI? [09:19] rypervenche: because the question was along the lines of: what does the nautilus-clamscan package do? [09:19] rypervenche: because ubuntu allows you to do it with gui, that is the point of ubuntu [09:19] eww [09:19] * rypervenche hugs his Debian. [09:20] rypervenche: you got a question? [09:20] I am facing some display issues in installing ubuntu 11.10 on viirtualbox [09:20] can anybody help me [09:21] what are the display issues sujith__? and what is the host OS and have you done anything with virtualbox extensions? [09:21] sujith__: which virtualbox version? [09:21] Yes i guess I should do that ... I was hoping to program regular scans almoxarife rypervenche [09:22] !virus | StepNjump [09:22] StepNjump: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [09:22] StepNjump: scanning linux is a waste of time, unless you are scanning jointly used files with a windows system [09:23] What has happended when facebook suddenly becomes like this: http://imagebin.org/192439 === nyan-cat is now known as nyuszika7h [09:24] yep that's exactly why almoxarife [09:25] most of my files are on win right now... slowly converting to linux.. but in the meanwhile, I am smb://ing to winbox [09:26] meco: firefox issue? [09:27] rypervenche: is it ok to clamscan / recursively on a mounted system while it's running? [09:28] I'm running 10.04, Any one own/recommend a TV input card or brand. Specifically to build a DVR with. Maybe using MythTV. ? [09:28] almoxarife: Could be, I'll in a firefox channel.... Ah... now I've seeing the font colos in konversation being mess up also: http://imagebin.org/192440 [09:28] hi again [09:29] anyone know the command to start the calendar/clock that is normally in my app bar? [09:29] when i try and transfer certain video files to my android phone in banshee i get an error: format not supported by device and no converter found. is there a way i can find out what banshee is trying to call ? maybe something is missing [09:30] Rayston: do you normally see it? [09:30] Is it advisable to run shutdown command with a time delay if a upgrade is running and taking long? [09:30] StepNjump: It's fine [09:30] never mind, I found it, it had just not started this latest reboot, did not want to reboot again, thanx though [09:30] k tnx rypervenche [09:30] visual1ce: I would guess that it's trying to use gstreamer. Can you play the video in Totem? [09:31] StepNjump: sudo clamscan -ir -l logfile /path/to/directory [09:31] StepNjump: run sudo freshclam first though === aris is now known as Guest59642 [09:32] I did rypervenche thanks.. yes.. [09:32] jordan i think so too - i can play the videos in banshee [09:32] should I run clamscan as sudo rypervenche ? [09:32] ill check in totem [09:33] something wrong with my bluetooth. [09:33] Ubuntu 11.10 [09:33] This is what konversation looks like no. Any clues what this is that also affects firefox? I', using openbox btw. http://imagebin.org/192441 [09:33] Bluetooth 3.0 === lol is now known as jutnux [09:34] they open fine in totem [09:34] weird [09:34] This is what konversation looks like now. Any clues what this is that also affects firefox? I'm using openbox btw. http://imagebin.org/192441 [09:34] rypervenche: thanks for the switches [09:35] i run dpkg --get-selections |grep -i apache show deinstall what ismean [09:36] samba35: it was removed [09:36] i want to remove all apache file with configuration and reinstalled [09:36] but i am not able to remove config file from apache [09:36] samba35, use --purge [09:36] samba35: sudo apt-get purge apache... [09:37] yes i try that [09:38] how do i tail log again? [09:39] visual1ce: with gnome-system-log, tails it every time for me [09:39] StepNjump: I do [09:40] Yes it won't scan / if not run as sudo but will run without sudo when scanning home dir [09:40] visual1ce: tail -20 logfile for the last 20 lines, or "tailf logfile" to get last lines continously [09:40] rypervenche: see up [09:42] is there an app I could install that could put my mouse pad for sleep while I'm typing? This is annoying... Often times I will be typing and then the mouse will start moving all over the place because I barely touch it with my fingers whilst typing... [09:42] StepNjump: what is the point of scanning as root? root sniffs out a virus better? [09:42] Caught an exception - System.ApplicationException: The mov format is not supported by the device, and no converter was found to convert it (in `Banshee.Dap') at Banshee.Dap.DapSource.AddTrackAndIncrementCount (Banshee.Collection.Database.DatabaseTrackInfo track) [0x00000] in :0 [09:42] banshee dap? [09:43] almoxarife: oh... Unless clamav is already infected or got infected afterwards... I guess everything is possilble [09:43] StepNjump: there is a option to hide cursor, in 'mouse' config [09:43] StepNjump: cant virus linux! [09:44] what is wrong when on a thinkpad my screen switch button doesn't generate a acpi event !? [09:44] Yes there is a small option there but it does nothing [09:46] disable touchpad while typing almoxarife .. in mouse config.. Saw it but does nothing... I'll have to see in gconf editor see if I can increase the delay from there [09:46] under system info -> graphics it is listed : driver unknown, experience standard. Why is it unknown? Is my graphic card isntalled/configured correctly? [09:47] StepNjump, install touchpad-indicator [09:47] it will allow you to disable and enable touchpad with immidiet effects [09:48] you may can find more details from http://ubuntuguide.net/quickly-enabledisable-laptop-touchpad-with-touchpad-indicator-in-ubuntu-10-10 [09:48] oh interesting virtuaposta [09:49] thank you very much virtuaposta [09:49] welcome [09:49] klikni: the card is installed, the drivers (correct ones) perhaps not [09:49] This is what konversation looks like now. Any clues what this is that also affects firefox? I'm using openbox btw. http://imagebin.org/192441 [09:52] meco, not able to collect the issue, can you describe some more? [09:54] Help! When I reboot 11.04 on my VPS, it doesn't start up anything other than something called plymouth and sshd (thank the computer gods about that)! [09:54] runlevel says "unknown" [09:55] virtuaposta: The colors of the text are changed, e.g. now highlighted text is shown as white on white and I have to drag the mouse over it to see what it says [09:56] Is there a way to fix AMD open source drivers load/power consumption? [09:56] Ubuntu idles ~10 degrees C higher than Windows :( [09:56] meco, change the Theme from Appearance. [09:58] meco not sure about konversation if there is any option to take system themes or if we can change konversations theme [09:58] hi === svndr is now known as SVNDR [09:59] why i cannot open directory from firefox's download list? [09:59] docwhat, plymouth is responsible for the graphical display, animation and logging. I wonder of sshd is unknown to you. Please give some more details [09:59] how to config default brower program in ubuntu? [10:00] virtuaposta: I'm using openbox. I don't have any themes [10:00] jameslordhz, System \ Preferences \ Preferred Applications [10:00] meco: so whats the point of asking questions on ubuntu? [10:00] firefox's download list is a gui, there is context menu which shows open this directory, i click it, and nothing happened:( [10:01] virtuaposta i am using ubuntu, dude:( [10:01] almoxarife: Well, openbox is a wm, not an OS [10:01] jameslordhz, thats for ubuntu only :) [10:01] I want to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 . i have the ISO file. and also burned onto a cd . how can i upgrade using the cd /iso ? [10:02] virtuaposta: After rebooting, this is what my system looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/796896/ [10:02] That's it. No postfix, apache, etc. [10:02] virtuaposta there is no dir named Prefered Applications in ubuntu:( [10:02] virtuaposta, yes this touchpad indicator seems to be great! Thanks a million for that. Supposedly it's just supported for 10.10. I'm on natty. Seems to be ok on here too... You saved my sanity.... This is great!!!! [10:03] my pleasure StepNjump :) [10:03] meco: you have plugged that question how dont know how many times, only to tell us that there is no ubuntu fix for the problem, sounds like a #openbox or #linux question [10:03] Anybody here ever found a way to kick unity out of the door and go back to classic Gnome in 11.10? [10:03] aha……第一次用IRC，好神奇啊！ [10:04] safelinking.net down? [10:04] jameslordhz: firefox defaults d/l's to ~/Downloads i do believe, in a ubuntu system [10:04] Yes i had been looking for this kind of stuff for ages! Unbelievable how much more comfortable it is.. It was hard to keep the thumbs off the touchpad! Nice stuff inDEED! [10:04] jameslordhz, is that the output from terminal inside gnome or system started in default runlevel terminal? [10:04] almoxarife i have changed this dir [10:04] <[deXter]> StepNjump, you can install MATE if you want [10:05] jameslordhz: changed it to ? [10:05] almoxarife: One problem is that openbox doesn't even seem to have a dedicated forum, let alone an irc channel. So I'm asking here since openbox users are likely to be here, at least they have been in the past. [10:05] [deXter]: what is mate? [10:05] <[deXter]> StepNjump, It's a fork of gnome2 [10:06] oh ok... and it replaces unity destop [deXter] ? [10:07] <[deXter]> StepNjump, Not exactly; in the login screen you can choose which session to login to, so simply choose MATE instead of Unity [10:07] <[deXter]> the choice is remembered so next time you'll login directly into MATE [10:07] StepNjump, try this http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-oneiric-remove-unity-and.html (I personally not tried this, best luck ;) ) [10:08] oh nice stuff!!!! [deXter] that is the reason I didn't wqnt to upgrade to 11.10.... I know my days are numbered [10:08] virtuaposta: I can *sort of* work around this by typing telinit 2, but that isn't running all the startup stuff. [10:08] thanks virtuaposta ... gosh, there are a lot of gmta tonight [10:09] <[deXter]> StepNjump, http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-10-install-classic-gnome2-desktop-linux-mint-mate [10:09] your link virtuaposta is 404 [10:09] running a ubuntu desktop box as a media player, what is the best/easiest way to change tracks, play/pause etc at a distance? [10:09] thanks [deXter] I'll check it out [10:10] StepNjump, http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-oneiric-remove-unity-and.html its opening on my side :\ [10:10] <[deXter]> wildc4rd, do you have a smartphone? [10:10] StepNjump: does the word 'troll' have any significance to you? btw, the link works [10:10] I want to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 . i have the ISO file. and also burned onto a cd . how can i upgrade using the cd /iso ? [10:10] [deXter] yes [10:11] Hey, I built an ubuntu 11.04 debootstrap/chroot install and used the ubuntu bootcd package to create a bootable CD (with discover v2 included). I boot from a qemu emulator, but despite the driver being loaded and an IP seemingly being gotten, I can't seem to ping anything from the guest OS. Any hints on how to get this working? [10:11] <[deXter]> wildc4rd, then there are many remote media player control apps.. on the android for eg, there's a VLC remote app you can use [10:11] <[deXter]> to control VLC player [10:11] [deXter] really? I'll have a look! [10:12] troll? almoxarife yes... like in the movie? Or like me, or some other creatures?

[10:25] failed to create what aaschez [10:25] virtuaposta: No worries. After rebooting, this is what my system looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/796896/ -- There is no apache, postfix, nor anything else. [10:25] failed to create......toast? [10:25] k6b: [10:25] aaschez: What is the exact error message? (if it's more than one line use pastebin) [10:26] No such file/directory: /bin/bash [10:26] k6b: aaschez ^ [10:26] what did you use to chroot [10:26] er Jordan_U ^ [10:26] looks like it's not done correctly [10:26] aaschez: do you try to chroot into 64bit install from 32bit livecd? [10:27] no llutz_ [10:27] I followed the following steps - [10:27] aaschez: That means that you didn't mount your actual root partition to /mnt/. [10:27] ah [10:27] !log docwhat [10:28] docwhat, please provide the logs [10:28] I created directory ch in /mnt then created proc, dev, dev/pts, sys under /mnt/ch [10:28] then mount -o bind /proc, dev sys dev/pts to the respective mount points [10:28] virtuaposta: There aren't any. syslog isn't running yet. [10:29] and also copied resolv.conf file to /mnt/ch/etc/resolv.conf [10:29] and then the final command to chrott [10:29] chroot* [10:29] aaschez: You do *not* want to create those directories yourself. If you had mounted the correct partition they would have already existed. What directions told you to create these directories? [10:29] should do chroot /mnt/ch /bin/bash === greentux|ganteng is now known as greentux [10:30] Jordan_U: I did that without creating but was giving erros of the dir not existing [10:30] virtuaposta: I don't see anything related to latest boot. [10:30] Jordan_U: I created 'coz the errors ussed to say, no such file/directory for /proc, dev, sys and others [10:31] where's these instructions you're using [10:31] under /mnt [10:31] k6b: I'm not using any insturtions. I remember this approach to work last time [10:31] aaschez: You shouldn't simply try to work around errors, at least not without figuring out why you're getting them in the first place. In your case, it's because you mounted the wrong partition. You should carefully (using rmdir rather that rm -r, and making sure you don't delete the wrong thing accidentily) delete those directories to avoid confusion in the future. [10:32] does anyone would know how to activate a password protection in xubuntu everytime the user logs on? [10:32] Jordan_U: Okay, I'll do that. Are my reamining steps right? [10:32] My french friend is asking and I am not being answered at #xubuntu [10:32] StepNjump: What do you mean? [10:32] he says he sees system but not admin [10:33] aaschez: Yes. Though you never actually meantioned the step where you mount your root partition to /mnt/ch/. That needs to be the first step. [10:33] I don't understand [10:33] StepNjump: yes [10:33] Jordan_U: Yes, I missed that. Could you confirm me the command for that? [10:33] docwhat, if logs are not available then I am afraid that I will not be able to help you in this troubleshooting.. if everything is messed up already then anyways try reboot once more.. also ask other experties here.. sorry man [10:34] jutnux: almoxarife well he wants to password protect his computer in xubuntu [10:34] virtuaposta: I'm beginning to think something is wrong with my hoster. How annoying to discover it AFTER I tried to migrate my existing server over. [10:34] StepNjump: yes [10:34] but since I don,t have xubuntu, I wouldn't know [10:34] well yes.. yes what almoxarife [10:35] StepNjump: yes [10:35] aaschez: "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/ch/" Though you'll first need to find the correct device for your root partition. What is your end goal? [10:35] I think I'm going to switch to linode or something. [10:35] Jordan_U: I'm trying to restore system using chroot to run a command [10:35] getting tired almoxarife ? [10:36] aaschez: What command? [10:36] oui, oui... lol [10:36] aaschez: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [10:37] Jordan_U: After chroot, I'd like to run since I'm not able to run that command in recovery nor in mornal mode whe the system is running. System's bootlaoader is probably broken [10:37] that should be helpful [10:37] :) [10:37] [deXter] got a few problems here, are you happy to go through them (could be time consuming, lol) [10:37] Thanks k6b [10:37] Thanks Jordan_U ..

[11:07] Pyraine, I doubt that would be a good idea [11:07] if the version difference isn't too big, I would just wait till a new version appears in the software center/apt-get [11:08] lui-der-furz: swedish vpn could help you out too, like mullvad [11:09] yumbo, ha yeah, the build in the repository is 2160 and the latest on the site is 2161 with 4 minor changes.

[13:13] [deXter]: Sorry, not sure what you're saying nope to. :-) [13:13] funny thing is the old computer I was working on did not support boot from USB. so I had no choice but to use an old distro or a new distro that I did not like [13:14] 13:33 < g0th> when I try to playback a 2s .ogg (or also .mp3) file the behaviour is quite strange and bad [13:14] 13:33 < g0th> either I don't hear anything (or just slightly increased background noise for 0.1 second or so), or I hear the sound but at a very low volume, or I hear everything correctly.

I just installed 11.10 64-bit on a machine previously running 10.10 64-bit. The new install hangs about 1 second after grub starts the 3.0.0-12 kernel. [13:31] test [13:31] hello world [13:31] World says hello. [13:32] jmp1: thanks [13:32] noone can direct me to instuctions on installing a PCI card? [13:32] Xeneth: installing a PCI card is easy if you have a screwdriver and know how to open your case. [13:33] Just open the case and then unscrew the backplate for the slot you want to use, then screw the PCI card in. === Youri is now known as Iruoy [13:33] Xeneth: check "dmesg" for things related to your card, check "ls -l /dev/ttyS*" if those serial-ports exist [13:34] jmp1: Ubuntu sees it with lspci, but tty [13:34] jmp1: Ubuntu sees it with lspci, but ttyS is not show new serial ports [13:34] It's a serial port PCI card? [13:34] If you're running unity, please press super (windows key) and A and tell me if you see a list of your installed programs. Please, pretty, pretty please. [13:34] hello world [13:35] Do you know if you have loaded the kernel module for it? [13:35] are we scripting in here? [13:35] can any on help me with ns2 [13:35] chmac: yes I do [13:35] rogst: Wonderful, thank you kindly, a gentle(wo)man and a scholar! :-) [13:35] Xeneth: lspci will show any PCI card. If you want to use it, you need to make sure that you have a driver loaded for it. [13:35] jmp1: It's a 4 port serial PCI card. I have ttyS0 (built in serial) to ttyS31. None of them other then ttyS0 is reacting like a serial. [13:36] Xeneth: Sadly, I don't know much about PCI serial cards. [13:36] i installed ns2.25 via synaptic manager, but i don't know where its library files are installed [13:36] i need to add few underwater libraries to it [13:36] jmp1: lspci shows the card, so I know it's seen. I did not have drivers for it so it may be the incorrect drivers. [13:36] chmac: more exactly I see applications that contains an A and also files that contains A [13:37] Xeneth: but it sounds like ttyS1--31 aren't actually connected to any device, which is an indicator that the kernel didn't load any drivers. [13:37] rogst: Ok, great. I see nothing at all in the list, so I wanted to make sure it was supposed to have a list before I started investigating. Thanks. :-) [13:37] Xeneth: the best thing to do is to google for the pci id of you card and "linux driver" to see what you find. [13:37] please helpme [13:38] Does anyone have experience fixing hanging boots (even in recovery mode)? [13:38] jmp1: From what I can tell, ttyS1 is my keyboard, it's odd, but I think they are other devices, just not serial. [13:39] if its text based you should have some information to get you started troubleshooting [13:39] if your splash screen is hiding something then you have other problems before you can look at it [13:40] jmp1: have been googling all of yesterday, how I was able to come up with some info. [13:40] there are also logs for bootup so check those [13:40] Xeneth: /dev/ttyS* exist all the time. It's a vestige of the way /dev worked in the old days. [13:40] Xeneth: you can have a device node in /dev/ with no device connected to it. [13:41] Xeneth: it's less common today with udev, but it's still possible. I have no serial ports on my laptop here, yet I have ttyS0--ttyS31 [13:41] is it true that you can write to /dev/tty and get no error message even if no device is connected? [13:42] hello...for when i try to start up ubuntu it just goes to the load screen and then it starts to shut down. i think there is a problem with the nvidia drivers. how do i restore the nvidia drivers? [13:43] i can open the computer in terminal mode [13:43] jmp1: I am still learning linux, and had to put the reading on hold to work on my CCNA (the reason I am trying to install these). Since it shows in lspci, I am assuming it's installs, just not setup properly. Any refrences I can look at to find out how to do this? [13:43] diverdude try booting in Recovery mode and choose Repair [13:44] anyone here to help me [13:45] Ganeshiva if you have a question [13:46] For some reason when I clear recent documents it keeps reappearing. [13:46] Xeneth: that's the wrong assumption to make. lspci only shows PCI-specific information like card manufacturer, memory addresses, etc.. It's a tool for browsing. To actually use the card, you need to load a driver for it. Linux is usually pretty good about loading drivers for cards that it has drivers for. [13:46] i installed ns2.35 via synaptic manager, but i don't know where its library files are installed [13:46] i need to add underwater lib to it [13:46] Ganeshiva what's an underwater lib? [13:46] Xeneth: however, if it's not loading, you should follow up with the manufacturer's website to see if they have drivers. If they don't have drivers, then try to figure out what chipset it uses and then see if there is a generic driver for that chipset. [13:47] library (.c and .h files) for ns2 [13:47] MonkeyDust: how do i boot in recovery mode? [13:48] My ubuntu is very slow. My system 1gb ram, 80 gb HD , Intel celeron 2.85 hz processor [13:48] MonkeyDust: ahh found iy [13:48] it [13:48] diverdude restart the pc and in the grub menu, choose Recovery [13:48] iok [13:48] MonkeyDust: but there is no repair in the recoverymode. only resume, fsck, remount and root [13:49] diverdude try fsck, it means file system check [13:49] My ubuntu is very slow. My system 1gb ram, 80 gb HD , Intel celeron 2.85 hz processor. Which is best version [13:50] m4k, If you want Ubuntu, then you coudl go for lubuntu or xubuntu [13:50] !lightweight > m4k [13:50] MonkeyDust: and then what? [13:50] Hi! I've installed Oneic recently. My problem is that after the restart it won't boot from HDD. My partition table is looks like this: http://paste2.org/p/1857863 - can someone tell me if it won't boot or will? (+ why not?) [13:50] *oneiric [13:51] diverdude what does it do or say? [13:51] antivirtel, what step does it fail at ? [13:51] (it seems recovery mode has changed from what i'm used to) [13:51] i need glibc 2.2 or 2.3 in order to install proper driver for my graphic card. I found 2.7-10ubuntu8, will this work? [13:51] MonkeyDust: resume, clean, dpkg, grub, netroot and root [13:51] hey guys, i'm trying to use the gamersgate game downloader on wine but it cant seem to connect to the site [13:51] http://pastie.org/3148539 this is the output from the terminal when i use wine to connect to the sitte [13:52] satyanash I choose it in boot menu, then it returns, so it can't recognice the OS?! [13:52] diverdude dpkg is debian package, i guess you can update/upgrade from there [13:52] try the netbook remix on your desktop. it will be fast :) [13:53] diverdude i stop now, i don't know the new recovery mode options, i use something different myself [13:53] anyone help me [13:53] antivirtel, it stops at what ? [13:54] satyanash how do you mean this? [13:54] antivirtel, It returns to what ? [13:54] MonkeyDust: but how can i get my system up and running again? [13:54] hmmm.. how to enable tab completion for aptitude? [13:54] satyanash it returns to the temporary boot device menu... [13:55] szal: source /etc/bash_completion [13:55] antivirtel, In that menu there is an option at the end, that says Boot from first hard drive..try that option. [13:55] jmp1: that would be a one-time action, how would I permanently enable that? [13:55] antivirtel, I think it's because you still have the USB/CD still connected, [13:56] satyanash no I have disconnected it :) USB... [13:56] diverdude restart the way you're used to, maybe someone else has better advice [13:56] szal: ~/.bashrc: if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then . /etc/bash_completion [13:56] antivirtel, Then there cannot be any temporary boot device menu.. [13:56] and also satyanash, I have a good boot priority, first place: HDD, 2nd USB... [13:56] antivirtel, okay.. [13:57] satyanash yes, it can because it doesn't find any bootable :| unfortunately [13:57] llutz: is that one line or two? [13:57] szal: sry, 2 lines [13:57] I try that option to boot from first in the live (USB) CD [13:57] and the dot before "/etc/bash_completion" belongs there? [13:57] szal: yes, "." == "source" [13:58] ah, thx [14:01] satyanash I've tried, it returns to the live CD(USB)'s menu... this partition table must have some problem, right? [14:03] I need help with glibc 2.2 or 2.3 [14:03] anyone able to help me? [14:04] antivirtel, Is this a server install? or a normal desktop one ? [14:04] antivirtel, because the desktop install doesnt normally screw up partitions [14:04] satyanash it is just a normal desktop to a laptop [14:05] satyanash yeah, you are right, I've never seen the same before [14:05] Hi, anyone have any idea how to force a custom resolution in ubuntu ? connected to my 42" TV via VGA, (i know it supports 1920x1080, iv'e done it in windows before) [14:06] kuii, You can do it using the monitor configuration menu, or through the software provided with the proprietary drivers installed. [14:07] using the open source ones, when i tried the propiratiery drivers theres no option for a custom resolution, (ATI) === shaman is now known as Guest12262 [14:08] hi [14:08] my satyr [14:09] roll [14:09] roll [14:09] join #ubuntu [14:09] Hey guys.

I am downloading ubuntu for the first time. Switching from debian. What's the difference between the client and the server download? [14:21] Xeneth: no problem [14:21] Faralla, Really ? Debian to Ubuntu ? [14:22] satyanash: I hope it's the right decision... Need current xorg-drivers [14:22] /usr/ shouldn't be owned by 501, should it? [14:22] satyanash: Why wouldn't it be a good decision to switch? [14:23] Faralla, Server version has no GUI..(x) so none of all those "Applications" [14:23] Faralla: The serer edition doesn't have a desktop gui, its command line only [14:23] ok, so i can cancel the server-dl :) [14:24] Faralla, People from Debian's release cycle _MAY_ have a hard time with the upgrade hell Ubuntu _CAN_ be.. [14:24] maybe [14:25] saty_ hhmm, seamless upgrading is a big issue for me [14:25] Faralla, Also, you can manually install X through apt-get... so you might not want to cancel the download right away [14:25] Hello, I have recently purchased a Sony Vaio (Model pcg-91211m) and I decided to install ubuntu.

I have two users (user1 and user2). I need user2 to be able to operate in users1 home directory. How can I accomplish that? [14:25] does the netatalk in ubuntu support encryption?

Since it's not exactly a Client to something [14:26] satyanash: sure [14:26] satyanash there is no grub.cfg in /boot/grub, and it writes, that this is read only... why?! May there any problems with BIOS settings?! [14:26] lost sound from my laptop speakers, but sound still works in my headphones. nothing appears to be muted, any help? [14:26] janjiss: you could add user2 to group user1 [14:26] hi [14:27] antivirtel, uhh. you dont have permissions to change anything beyond /home/ and [14:27] antivirtel, if you arent using sudo... that is.

[14:52] Static: there was a website I stumbled upon one time when I was having sound issues, it had a list of options to try in alsa-base.conf for certain model combinations, trying to find it now [14:52] Ben64: blackshirt that did it :) thanks [14:53] OK, found it: dpkg --print-architecture [14:53] navatwo: cool, no problem. I wasn't sure that still worked on the newer versions [14:53] peter_: i don't think so.. except you planning some proprietary part [14:53] wiggmpk: I did do something with that, I didn't work, but I didn't do much. [14:53] Ben64: it spit out some errors, but appeared to work. [14:54] Jikan, what kind of output you actually want? means for eg. you want to get the output if OS is 64 bit or anything like that? amd64 is fine but if you can tell us more then someone might can guide you in right way [14:54] peter_, You might start here: http://www.canonical.com/ === Static_ is now known as Static [14:54] Hey, can anyone tell me how to autorun a script after boot (as a specifically created "service user")? [14:54] wiggmpk: I added the line "options snd-hda-intel model=sony-assamd" earlier, should I reboot and see if it works? [14:55] Static: yeah, typically rebooting would be a good idea [14:55] virtuaposta : I know I'm running a 64 bits Ubuntu, I needed a cli command that returns "amd64" and not "x86_64" [14:55] Jikan, simplest : grep ;) [14:55] wiggmpk: Okay, I'll reboot now. See you in a minute. :P [14:56] Static: k [14:56] Jikan, dont take it seriously :) [14:56] virtuaposta : ^^ [14:57] Jikan: you need your terminal to confirm your running 64 bits? [14:57] anyway, "dpkg --print-architecture" fits my needs perfectly ^^ [14:57] wiggmpk : not at all [14:57] Jikan: rephrase what your looking for then? === root is now known as Guest36105 [14:57] for all intents and purposes, amd64 = x86_64 [14:58] Jikan, thanks for the info :) good to hear you sorted it out [14:58] I needed my terminal to return "amd64" and NOT "x86_64" (for use with checkinstall if you want to know) [14:58] cheers Jikan [14:58] wiggmpk: It didn't seem to work. [14:58] :) [14:58] Jikan: cant you use "force-arch" or something? [14:58] Jikan: during the check [14:58] Jikan, "arch" [14:58] what does it mean when I type exit to get out of a CLI terminal, I get there are stop jobs.. Which jobs? [14:59] StepNjump: it means processes in the background [14:59] StepNjump: if you run something (a program or application) from the terminal, and exit it, it returns to the prompt [14:59] ciao sono nuovo [15:00] :!list [15:00] Ben64: so it's nothing to worrry about? [15:00] !list | CHARLIE3 [15:00] CHARLIE3: This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [15:00] Cuz I was back to the prompt [15:00] wiggmpk : no, I don't want to force anything, I just want my terminal to return "amd64", which is done [15:00] Oer : arch returns "x86_64" ^^ (and again, I've found the one I needed: dpkg --print-architecture) [15:01] StepNjump: "jobs" tells you what jobs are in bg [15:01] any alternative for skype thats more secure? [15:01] StepNjump: if you exit the shell, the jobs will be terminated too [15:01] export amd64=amd64; echo $amd64 [15:01] lolz ffk27 Jikan found the answer :D [15:01] ffk27: thank you, was looking that up right now [15:02] or echo amd64 [15:02] ok llutz jobs... good command [15:02] Static: go into alsamixer and hit "F6" (should be select sound card) tell me what it shows you [15:02] StepNjump: type: jobs [15:03] but lets say llutz I run cp and then when it goes back to the prompt then I assume it's finished copying right? so after that, is it ok to type exit? [15:03] StepNjump: fg to make one of them active again [15:03] StepNjump: sure, that won't be listed as stopjob. [15:03] yes quiescens thatès what llutz just said... I had never heard that one before [15:03] any alternative for skype thats more secure? [15:03] StepNjump: they should only happen if you press ctrl-z to stop whatever was running when you pressed ctrl-z [15:04] Arizona_Bay, you asking for VoIP?

[15:06] cheers [15:06] letkamo: right click on the background and click change background [15:06] StepNjump: sorry, my mistake, there are other things that cause it, if you run something with & which then decides it needs to wait for input [15:07] ffk27: Where I cna fint it? [15:07] letkamo, one more cheers to wiggmpk :) [15:07] no, not even that quiescens [15:07] ged0: you mean with virualdesktops workspaces? [15:07] lol [15:07] ffk27: Yes. I am using unity desktop [15:08] ffk27: I think it is unity :) [15:08] i have no idea how that in unity works [15:08] StepNjump: well, what did "jobs" say that are still running? [15:08] but i think you need to search in gconf-editor [15:08] ffk27: Okey. I will try, Thanks :) [15:09] Static: try using this line at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/options ----> "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop enable=1 index=0" [15:09] ged0: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34572/how-can-i-reduce-or-increase-the-number-of-workspaces-in-unity [15:09] :) [15:11] let me try it quiescens [15:11] hi [15:11] ffk27: Why Ubuntu developers don't include this by defoult??? Strange === root is now known as Guest59422 [15:13] quiescens: it says: man ls (wd: ~/.weechat/logs) but those two processes are running in separate tabs! [15:14] wiggmpk: Sorry, I had lunch. /etc/modprobe.d/options doesn't exist, shall I write in the file anyway? [15:14] StepNjump: shrugs [15:15] I might need to reboot [15:15] hi [15:15] but I learned something new thanks to llutz and you, quiescens [15:15] StepNjump: type fg [15:15] StepNjump: to bring a stopped job back to the front [15:15] why is there no padevchooser in oneiric? [15:16] wow... 1 GB in my swap partition out of 2! [15:16] Static: where did you add the options line before? to alsa-base.conf or something like that? [15:16] alsa-base.conf, yes [15:17] yes I tried fg quiescens it works great [15:17] Static: try putting it there instead, reboot and try it out [15:17] 13:33 < g0th> when I try to playback a 2s .ogg (or also .mp3) file the behaviour is quite strange and bad [15:17] 13:33 < g0th> either I don't hear anything (or just slightly increased background noise for 0.1 second or so), or I hear the sound but at a very low volume, or I hear everything correctly. [15:17] Static: check alsamixer to see if you have new options [15:17] 13:33 < g0th> The behaviour is the same for paplay, mplayer, vlc [15:17] 13:34 < g0th> any ideas? my guess is buggy audio driver (I have hda-intel, realtek RC888). [15:17] g0th: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:17] 13:34 < g0th> someone suggested it was related to "combined audio driver" or something like that (?)

[15:45] does anyone know how I can download the source for rtmpdump 2.4? there is only a git:// link on their homepage http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/ and I am not sure what to do with that [15:45] askmasterrr: What version are you using 32 or 64bit [15:45] askmasterrr: 11 for the year, 10 for the month. [15:45] hi [15:45] domedagen: i use 10.04 [15:45] askmasterrr: next is 12.04, then 12.10, then 13.04, then 13.10 ... etc. Get it? [15:45] !java [15:45] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [15:45] ok kyentei [15:45] but should i upgrade to newest [15:45] or they have unity [15:46] askmasterrr: I haven't read your question. There is Unity per default since 11.04 [15:46] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/malys+-+update+GS?content=142262 [15:46] projekt26: Do a "sudo apt-get install git" and then type "git clone" followed by that git:// link [15:46] i now 11.10 is unity [15:46] askmasterrr: Architecture then? x86-64 or x86-32 (is that what they are called?)? [15:46] good, ubuntu... [15:46] i`m trying to istall this [15:46] but i do not want unity [15:46] hello, Iḿ using ubuntu 11.10, when I try to delete files from Eye of Gnome Image Viewer and check 'Move to trash' I receive the error 'Couldn't access trash', do you why? [15:46] thanks mike2559 [15:46] aber: Noes! [15:46] domedagen: i dont no ? i thought i have got ubuntu 10.04 lcyd lynx [15:47] hello, Iḿ using ubuntu 11.10, when I try to delete files from Eye of Gnome Image Viewer and click 'Move to trash' I receive the error 'Couldn't access trash', do you why? [15:47] but i do not want unity [15:47] askmasterrr, you are an american citizen and you spell like that ? go to school dude, really [15:47] domedagen: Sorry... [15:47] askmasterrr: You could install gnome3 (gnome-shell or gnome-session-fallback), use cinnamon (by mint) or choose to use KDE or XFCE (amongst many others) [15:47] askmasterrr: You can use Gnome in the latest version as well [15:47] but may gnome tweak tool is completely different [15:47] aber: Why? [15:47] i want gnome 2 [15:47] or similar to gnome 2 [15:47] askmasterrr: gnome-session-fallback still looks a lot like gnome 2. [15:47] ok [15:48] 10.04 is supported until 2013 orsomthing so stay lts [15:48] thats good === Vael_Sleep is now known as Vaelstrom [15:48] askmasterrr: I suggest you stay on 10.04 though. It's supported for quite some time. [15:48] askmasterrr: uname -a [15:48] next week 10.04.4 will come [15:48] really [15:48] and i have got another question [15:48] askmasterrr: 10.04 is an LTS. Are you familiar with the meaning of LTS? [15:49] yes the LTS are supported with updates [15:49] and the other not i thoght [15:49] is there a reason to download 32 bit instead of 64 bit? I'm curious because of the download marking 32 bit as recommended (my computer is 64 bit) [15:49] askmasterrr: They are supported for a longer period of time. [15:49] ok [15:49] really [15:49] and i have got another question [15:49] Evil_: Ubuntu is not extremely famous. It is important that the first experience people have with Ubuntu is a good one. If people have a 32 bit machine without knowing, and download x64, their first experience is bad. [15:50] i sometime was swearing about unity... can they forbid me to use it [15:50] Evil_, that will change when 12.04 is released. Go with 64bit if you have 4GB of ram or more [15:50] Evil_: That's about it. I can't think of anything not working on x64 that does on x86 [15:50] kyentei, ah I gotcha [15:50] Thanks :) [15:50] Evil_: Some app's don't always work with 64 bit, flash used to be a problem, but seems ok now, it was little things like that, I don't think its much of an issue now [15:50] askmasterrr: What's the other question? [15:50] Evil_: Another reason is that 32 bit has more drivers in some cases [15:50] i sometime was swearing about unity... can they forbid me to use it? [15:50] askmasterrr: 64 or 32 bit? "uname -a" [15:51] askmasterrr: nobody can forbid you to use it. Besides, why would they forbid you? :) [15:51] askmasterrr: Forbid you to use it? It comes default. They pretty much _want_ you to use it. [15:51] venkatmangudi: because swearing [15:51] askmasterrr, they should forbid you to use a computer though [15:51] swearing about ubuntu [15:51] who_me: a sure troll [15:51] askmasterrr: how do they know what you mutter to your computer? [15:51] llutz, of course [15:52] who_me: LOL [15:52] venkatmangudi: ah you are right [15:52] thanks! [15:52] that were all my queestions [15:52] domedagen: uname -a [15:52] askmasterrr: that is all? [15:52] yes [15:52] askmasterrr: have a good day now [15:52] askmasterrr: it is normal to swear and curse Unity, everybody has done that at least 25 times in their life [15:52] askmasterrr: peace be with you [15:53] also good da [15:53] see you evening === pete__ is now known as PeterBre2 [15:53] askmasterrr: in terminal [15:53] wow [15:53] haha [15:53] Interesting === PeterBre2 is now known as PeterBre [15:53] domedagen: Just leave it. Hehe [15:53] Now, about my onboard sound... [15:54] How to make it work? [15:54] kyentei: :(, venkatmangudi already spoiled it so I guess upu are right [15:54] what? you guys wanted more fun? [15:54] and Osmodivs is suffering here... [15:54] :) [15:55] where can i go to for help on ubuntu one? [15:55] venkatmangudi: ... :| [15:55] Osmodivs: came late to the game, which card? [15:55] !12.04 [15:55] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [15:55] domedagen: you were going to have him run a few commands? [15:56] kpok: the channel is # [15:56] !onboard sound [15:56] kpok: the channel is #ubuntuone all one word [15:56] thanks AlanBell [15:56] Hello, how can I record What U Hear on Ubuntu 11.10 using PulseAudio and a USB headset? [15:56] venkatmangudi: I was about to tell him the latest 64-bit edition hasn't go all the drivers and such [15:57] Osmodivs: didn't get that [15:57] domedagen: he didn't have the 32 Vs 64 bit question... [15:57] domedagen: that was Evil_ [15:57] venkatmangudi: No, I did not get it.... I have 64 bits, as Ubuntu now recomends. [15:58] Osmodivs: thought you had a sound card issue [15:58] Hello, how can I get network manager up & running on a minimal install? I'm using oneiric minimal. At the moment I mainly use 2 wireless networks so I can easily edit /etc/network/interfaces. I'd like to have NM working just in case I need to use a "new" wireless network [15:58] Why can't ubuntu find a simple Intel onboard codec? [15:58] Osmodivs: They still recommends 32-bit http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [15:58] Osmodivs: which chipset? [15:59] ICH8 [15:59] is there any way to change the annoying notifier window behavior where notifications pop up, but then dissapear when I put the move over them in a vain attempt to dismiss them?

It all seems to be working, based on the different programs that everyone has recommended, my router says it is connected to it, etc, etc, but nothing transfers. It even disconnects sometimes (sometimes) when connected in Windows 7 (dual boot, obviously), but it will not transfer any data when connected in Ubuntu. I have to plug a cable in [17:48] get updates, very annoying. Sometimes the wifi works, but almost never. [17:48] ANy ideas? [17:48] ping, check routing tables, etc [17:48] kyentei, i thought is is service sshd restart ? [17:49] (ping router, that is) [17:49] Oer: Could be. I'm not 100% sure. [17:49] I did the netstat -tan and it list tcp6-Proto;0-Recv-Q;0-Send-Q;:::2222-Local Address;:::*-Foreign Address; LISTEN-STATE - Does this indicate it is listening? === greentux|ganteng is now known as greentux [17:50] jpk: Have you restarted the service yet?

Not the entire machine. [17:54] kyentei: i think he thogught you meant "you need to restart" as in the OS not the service [17:54] Right, right. [17:54] Sorry. [17:55] How do I know if is started? [17:55] jpk: netstat -an|grep 2222 [17:55] see if it's LISTENing [17:56] ssta,jpk: that, or "ps aux | grep ssh" [17:56] This time on an IPv4 address among others, hopefully. [17:56] I get a line starting with tcp and tcp6 [17:56] ssta: If the service is still not listening on 2222, a netstat won't show him. [17:56] kyentei: well, that will return any ssh clients he has too...I was trying not to confuse him [17:56] In which case, htop (or top, or ps, or...) [17:56] ssta: But we don't know the configuration is correct. [17:56] kyentei: true [17:57] kyentei: one step at a time... [17:57] ssta: Then again, I just almost told him to reboot. So let's stick with your advice. [17:57] i'm easily confused because I'm kinda a new user to ubuntu. [17:57] jpk: did you try the netstat command I suggested? [17:57] I did the netstat -an|grep 2222 [17:57] I have intel grafix chipset & ati graphics as well. I believe, both are ON and thus consuming more power. How can I check whether they are ON or OFF?

Did you get a line like that with 2222? [17:58] kinda ctrl+alt+somekey to do a custom action [17:58] yes 2 lines starting with tcp and tcp6 with 2222 in the line and LISTEN at the end. [17:58] I have intel grafix chipset & ati graphics as well. I believe, both are ON and thus consuming more power. How can I check whether they are ON or OFF? [17:59] jpk: You could make that command return less by typing "netstat -an | grep 2222 | grep LISTEN" [17:59] jpk: That would be just what you need. [17:59] jpk: try your sftp connection now, should work fine [17:59] netstat -an4 if he wants ipv4 only ;D [17:59] sidvee: you could disable the mobo bundled one in bios?

[18:49] Ok, thank you all for helping. [18:49] bastidrazor: unity2d uses compiz? [18:49] bastidrazor: thankyou [18:49] zykotick9: it seems to on mine. [18:49] bastidrazor: unity 2d uses compiz ? === Youri is now known as Iruoy [18:50] i thought it was qt [18:50] nope [18:50] for some WEIRD reason, when my TB extHDD is connected on my ubuntu usb liveCD, the extHDD will prevent the system to boot up at the BIOS level in the USB controllers section. I guess it's not really a linux question... but I can tell you it's partitionned in NTFS. Would it be best to partition it in ext? [18:50] bastidrazor: sorta makes the 2d a lie doesn't it ;) [18:50] FlutJosi73: kde uses qt as standard, gnome - gtk [18:50] yeah but why does unity use snl-qt [18:50] unity 2D * [18:50] unity-2d uses metacity [18:51] damn it, getting right info is so damn hard [18:51] StepNjump - have a look at your bios options, and make sure that your disc drive boots before anything else [18:51] it's all over the place [18:51] anyway thank you bastidrazor i'll try it out [18:51] StepNjump, you get a hang at the hit f12 option? [18:52] <_JLuc_> 'o [18:52] well corp769, it's set up right now to boot up from the usb pendrive... The only other settings related to that in the BIOS options (very limited) is pretty much activate/deactivate plug and play... [18:53] no past that urlin2u [18:53] I can F1 in.. (for me it's F1 for the BIOS settings) urlin2u [18:53] it also might be that the external hard drive is conflicting at boot.... since both devices are USB [18:55] StepNjump, the f12 function is after that and for a boot from menu. I have a sdhc card that some times holds up there if it seems like its not being read in general.....it is a ntfs, but I doubt that is the problem. [18:55] StepNjump, have you checked the TB HD fragmentation? === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [18:56] urlin2u: ok... No I haven't checked the fragmentation.. Must be a mess.. It's full at 85% urlin2u [18:57] StepNjump: If there is a problem with the BIOS then it has nothing to do with filesystems (or even partitions). BIOS is a very simple interface which knows nothing about the content of disks other than to load their first sector for boot code. [18:57] corp769: I cannot set up the disc drives to boot up first because I need the liveUSB... Maybe it would boot up just fine with my normal system setup [18:57] StepNjump: if you drive is "full" without using all space, check your inode usage with "df -i" [18:58] zykotick9: ok.. I never heard of that switch.. it has to be under what kind of % [18:58] StepNjump: BTW only applies to unix filesystems (not MS ones) [18:59] exit [18:59] ok.. and what do I look for zykotick9 .. for instance here in this system I'm full at 23% but Inode reading is 8% [19:00] StepNjump: then inodes is NOT the issue then. Good luck. [19:01] k thanks [19:01] btw zykotick9 a friend of mine told me to NEVER boot up a system and later on hook up a drive whilst it's up and running (hot pluggin), es la verdad? [19:04] StepNjump: That only applies to drives which aren't hot-pluggable. USB drives are hot-pluggable by design. [19:04] StepNjump: what sort of drive? USB should be fine. [19:04] guys i found a gnome3 solution !! === ubuntu is now known as Success [19:04] What is the path used in this distribution for storing game data files? e.g. for gentoo linux each game has its own directory in /usr/share/games/. I'm collecting notes for each distro so that I can collect a list of all possible paths to make sure to look in each of them for a particular game. [19:05] ircdearia: /usr/local/games is popular to use [19:05] $ sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu [19:05] let me go try unity brb [19:05] he freaked me out about me possibly loosing my superblock if I don't know what I am doing... mmm kind of scared the .. out of me. Jordan_U zykotick9 [19:06] but yet, this guy uses slackware so maybe it's not as advanced as ubuntu??? === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [19:08] StepNjump: its more the user, not the distro [19:09] StepNjump, you know about the safely remove drive right click eh? [19:10] hello guys, do u have any idea where i can find route : applications>accessories>terminal ? [19:10] !ssh > mang0 [19:10] mang0, please see my private message [19:12] letkamo ctrl + alt + T [19:12] cheers :) [19:13] sorry urlin2u I was on ham radio.. you mean eject the drive in nautilus? [19:14] How do we set Thunderbird's Lightning as the default Calendar app in Ubuntu 11.10? I go to System Settings>System Info and under Calendar, the only option is gedit? [19:14] StepNjump, there is also a remove safely there as well with a usb === ar0nic is now known as marowanna [19:14] StepNjump, eject and the other are probably safe I use the safe option. [19:15] mmmm no urlin2u which one is that??? I always press the up arrow there next to the drive's icon in nautilus or I do umount at the CLI === Breakthru is now known as Break [19:15] hello again. ubuntu 11.0 and bcm4311 wifi. If the restricet driver is marked as installed/active, there's no wlan0 device. If it is marked as uninstalled/inactive, the wlan0 device shows up (but is missing firmware). How to I get my wifi working? [19:15] StepNjump, right click menu [19:15] Hello ppl! I did something stupid. I tried to clear the error.log in my apache2-folder by deleting it, and recreating it. Now when I restart apach2e it says "Unable to open logs [fail]". Anyone knows if this can be fixed? I would like to be able to see errors on the server :) === Break is now known as MBreak [19:15] s/11.0/11.10 [19:15] I was told to mount it without the sync for safety's sake urlin2u, however, it'd be slower [19:16] StepNjump, sync? [19:16] I'm sorry urlin2u, which menu? [19:16] StepNjump, right click the usb in nautilus=home [19:16] yes something to that effect but I don't fully remember. I'll have to look into my logs, which i will do later on [19:17] or the icon in general [19:17] mmm let me check urlin2u [19:17] It says unmout? urlin2u [19:17] hi all. I'd like to NAT some port to the kvm virtual machine. Where should I look? [19:17] StepNjump, you have the usb in fstab? [19:17] but I figured this is the same as pressing the top arrow like the play button in naut [19:18] yes urlin2u ... it's there [19:18] question [19:18] the other day though I got scared because I could see the drive in fdisk -l but then it wouldn't mount up in nautilus.. , which opened a full fledge debate on the question [19:19] StepNjump, that is why you only see unmount. I never put my hot pluggable usb's in fstab they will show on boot or plugging without that. [19:19] how can i see who is currently connected to my pptp server? [19:19] anyway, if you guys tell me it's safe.. it's safe.. Should have no problems... I hope [19:20] amaranth isnt here.... wow been a while [19:20] oh no urlin2u, I didn't add it to fstab... let me check if it's there now... I figured it must be in there [19:21] oh yes i know what you mean... no I never manually added them there either urlin2u [19:21] \ === jwheare_local_ is now known as jwheare_local [19:21] what are some good tools to send emails through the cli? [19:21] atxq: mutt, mailx, mail-utils [19:21] atxq: sendmail [19:22] is ext4 safer or a previous ver of extX safer to use for extHDD to format in or is NTFS ok to use still? [19:22] StepNjump, not sure what version of ubuntu your using...as far as not seeing a remove safely, but I suspect eject is good enough, if the is data transfer withi t you would get a popup. [19:22] thanks llutz, bastidrazor [19:22] there is* [19:22] is there a way to find out wich process is connected to which ip address? I can see from my router that I'm connected to a certain ip address that I don't recognize yet I'm now sure which process is connected... [19:23] It totally puzzles me that we can cheat ntfs to use MSFT non valid characters in the filenames [19:23] right... I think you are right...! I'm just overly cautious [19:23] mobodo: lsof -i [19:23] llutz: thanks! [19:24] my learning curve has been somewhat costly on linux so far.. i guess nothing of value comes for free~ [19:24] StepNjump, the partition type is a personal choice both are equally safe if maintained I think, it is more of where do you plan to plug it. [19:25] StepNjump, I have a 2tb usb I left it as ntfs I use it with the windows OS I use about 1% of the time. [19:26] Well I know on windows, I've had to ctrl alt del out of there numerous times with the drives still plugged in and was always pretty much lucky so far... But I was told this is a no-no on *nixes [19:26] hello, i cannot seem to find how to set active corners? [19:26] it was available in 11.04, but not in 11.10 ? [19:27] Ok no worries urlin2u... llutz told me the same thing yesterday so that confirms. Sorry llutz didnt mean to doublecheck... it just started with a small question at first.. lol [19:27] StepNjump: as far as characters in the filename, Win32 has some limitations that NTFS per se doesn't [19:27] (e.g. ":", etc) [19:27] StepNjump, best thing to do is have a backup if you can't loose it, HD's are cheap, at last if you have the money. [19:28] just windoze OS won't allow us to use em... I like those special characters here in linux?! pretty cool indeed. [19:28] HDs _had been_ cheap :( [19:29] hello everyone! [19:29] Will be again in a month or two, presumably. Production largely restarted early/mid December [19:29] I heard on the news they should start going back up in the near future due to something that happened to Thailand last year [19:29] so get them now! [19:29] arkaddre: remains to be seen [19:29] The next one will be a network pluggable one. Those must be sweet [19:29] StepNjump: "something", most massive flooding in about 70 years [19:31] how do i take ownership of an esata connected HDD that has only xbmc live installed on it. i would like to reformat it and use it as a network share. [19:31] I upgraded my old computer from 10.04 to 10.10 and it worked fine. then from 10.10 to 11.04 and now my computer wont boot into X at all. I think it has something to do with me having nvidia TNT2 video card. Does anyone know the correct route to fix this or can point me in the right direction. [19:32] Also, prices already spiked, months ago: http://camelegg.com/product/N82E16822148697 [19:32] does ubuntu have a kernel that supports the macbook pro 2011 wireless drivers OOTB? [19:32] (to StepNjump) [19:33] arkaddre: I didn't see that on the news.. when did this happen??? I'm either dumb or clueless or both [19:33] oh good luck mishugana I never figured that one out... I gave up and reinstalled! [19:34] thanks arkaddre for the link [19:34] Hello [19:35] Flooding actually began a while before October (see spike timing), but gradually came in from the north, monsoon season so I understand [19:35] Is enabling port 113 forwarding safe?

Not available in all states [19:38] mishugana: do you know how to reset your gnome? [19:39] arkaddre: is it possible? 124$ for a bare internal HDD!!!!! wow! [19:39] hey all, has anyone ever had the situation where their 2TB hd reported itself as a 1TB hd? # [19:40] Or does anyone know of any linux utilities that I can do a lowlevel scan of my HD and pull of files from it? [19:40] StepNjump: well to briefly quote that Wikipedia article: "Thailand is the world's 2nd largest producer of hard disk drives accounting for approximately 25% of the world's production.[71] Many of the factories that make hard disk drives have been flooded, including Western Digital's, leading some industry analysts to predict future worldwide shortages of hard disk drives.[72][73]" [19:41] Is it advisable to have separate /boot/ partition for desktop installation? === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [19:41] I want to run ubuntu 11.10 without GUI in VM as local webserver, how can I disable GUI.

Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [19:42] yeah list is useless on xchat [19:43] hello [19:44] paul_uk: doesn't xchat have a filtering window? [19:44] by channel name, description, # users...

[19:44] hey all, has anyone ever had the situation where their 2TB hd reported itself as a 1TB hd? # [19:44] Having problem with fons in webbrowser after installing wine??

[20:09] xtreamer, want to find out if my graphics card is installed properly.. === andy_ is now known as Guest74404 [20:10] @coregrl disable it by hardware switch [20:10] coreGrl: the network-manager is showing the modul if you click on "show network informations" in the applet (nm-applet) [20:10] hi guys [20:10] well if you've opened additional drivers and it didn't said anything about your graphics card that means it is already installed [20:11] I've a notebook with a wireless network adapter: intel centrino wireless-n 100... the devices doesn't work, how do I get to install it? [20:11] xtreamer, hmm. ok if you say so. thx [20:12] why does my puppy run slow when opening the browswer [20:13] stowoda : try system settings -> system info -> graphics. :) [20:13] hello where i need to put file that will run after resume or hibernate? [20:14] new2pup : you should try chromium wich is much faster [20:14] than the default browser [20:14] xtreamer, i'm using puppy ubuntu with 512 ram you think that's enough [20:15] :)) that shouldn't make problems when opening the browser [20:15] xtreamer, driver: unknown [20:15] Hey just helping out an Ubuntu user who installed openSUSE and wiped his Ubuntu grub code in the MBR. Does Ubuntu install the boot code into the partiion containg / or /boot filesystems by default for purposes of chainload? [20:15] stowoda: that means you don't have any driver installed [20:15] stowoda: go to the update manager and click check [20:16] Can anyone provide me with any help regarding finding out what went wrong with the my Wine? I was running Dungeons of Dredmor, but it stopped working after a crash, giving a error message when I try to launch: "wine: Unhandled exception 0xc000000d at address 0x510c95 (thread 0009), starting debugger...". Complete reinstallation of both Wine and Dredmor did not help. Any advice? [20:16] stowoda: it should find a driver for your graphics card, else you should search a driver for it on google [20:16] xtreamer, all right. thx [20:16] np [20:17] hello there, I just installed 10.04 LTS on a linode server, and saw that there is an old version of haproxy on the repos (compared to newer releases). Is there a safe way to udpate it? [20:18] I'd like to run photorec but their website says it is good for EXT2/EXT3 though everybody recommends me to give it a shot.. Supposedly they tried it themselves... [20:18] Maybe many, many moons ago!

[20:23] sawtell: you should open update manager and click "CHECK" to see if is there any driver for your sound card [20:24] Hi all. Anyone has had success running a kvm server using nat? [20:24] Hello. I have tried using the 11.12 AMD driver with Gnome Shell, however it completely broke it and I was forced into the 2D Gnome2 interface. I removed it using the instructions here ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver ) but now the login screen is completely garbled with rendering errors. [20:24] What can I do to revert to the default radeon driver? [20:25] xtreamer, but it's not for me. I want to fullscreen without a choppy effect.

[20:27] cat /proc/asound/version [20:27] Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24. [20:27] wiggmpk: you can also configure the sound from the volume icon [20:28] i think you just need to select the right output [20:29] xtreamer: yes, I am aware, but nothing is configured incorrectly, it was working fine for the last 2 ubuntu versions (11.10 being the current) and then one day, I plugged my headphones in while using banshee, unplugged to watch a video on youtube and it just didnt go back to the speakers [20:29] xtreamer: nothing is muted in the gui sound application or alsamixer, and all packages are current [20:30] so your laptop speaker is working? [20:32] xtreamer: yes, it's an asus republic of gamer laptop, so it has bios boot splash animation with a sound played through my speakers, so they still function, just something decided to stop working in the OS [20:33] How do I enable 3D acceleration in xorg?

[20:53] 1557 user, to be exact [20:54] shachar: you already are on the channel, tell us what is the problem [20:54] Hi , what is ubuntu`s support channel? [20:54] :) [20:54] shackar, this is it [20:54] shachar here, you've come to the right place [20:54] :)) [20:55] shachar: ubuntu is an Operating Sytems for computers, support is where you get help [20:55] xtreamer, if I start to build my drivers and mess sth up. is there a way to "unmake" all I have done ? [20:55] xtreamer, like a system restore point [20:55] like in windows [20:56] would changes made in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf require restarting or could I just use "sudo alsa force-reload"? [20:56] stwoda you could use the backup option [20:56] stwoda: system settings-> backup [20:56] stowoda: have you tried just using jockey first? to see if your drivers are available already? [20:56] anyone recommend software to take a wmv file and make vob for standard dvd player in ubuntu ? [20:57] streamripper outputs: "meta interval: 16000." What is the unit of measurement of this number? [20:57] wiggmpk: his video drivers are not installed yet [20:57] wiggmpk, sorry but what is jockey? [20:57] rampage73 ffmpeg can convert video typens [20:57] ohh i see .. [20:57] rampage73, have you tried avidemux? [20:58] bullgard6: ms [20:58] hmm , weird one , iv`e updated ubuntu and suddenly all the graphics became very fast and also the touchpad is extremely fast [20:58] stowoda: it's "Additional Drivers" in the menu's I believe, you can just hit ALT+F2 and type jockey-gtk (might need gksudo, someone else would know) and it brings up a nice GUI to fetch and install drivers like video card and wireless, etc [20:59] anyone knows how that whole “ubuntu officially on tablets” deal is going? [20:59] MonkeyDust, cannot seem to figure out ffmpeg for this particular purpose, i have used it before for avi and mpeg files [20:59] i got a dvi to hdmi adapter and it works but man the picture on my samsung tv looks terrible. it's at 1920x1080@6hz, which is the best my vid card can do, but the colors look washed out and the font is really fuzzy [20:59] hugonickname, downloaded a while ago have not figured it out yet [20:59] wiggmpk: i told him to look under system info on the graphics section and he gets: drivers unkown [20:59] How do I uninstall .deb package if I don't know it's exact name? [20:59] wildwind: So this program assumes that the pause time for meta data transmission is 16 s? That much? [20:59] wiggmpk: so he should try to install the drivers manually [21:00] xtreamer: interesting, how is hardware being recognized though [21:00] i`ve tried updating my graphic card drivers because everything was laggy but now it`s too fast [21:00] bullgard6: yes. not so much IMO [21:00] rampage73, on avidemux you have the option to Auto->opticaldisc->dvd === matt_ is now known as Guest33848 [21:01] hugonickname, hmm let me check [21:01] wildwind: Right. Thank you. [21:01] marel: I'd use: dpkg -l | grep part change part for some of the name of the app you installed [21:01] wiggmpk: well, at me I can see what driver is used [21:01] bullgard6: not program assumes, but server announces i think [21:01] rampage73, it basically changes your settings for that video you're saving [21:02] Hmm. [21:02] xtreamer: i would "lspci" and make sure the card is being recognized [21:02] wiggmpk, will try that. thx [21:02] hugonickname, thanks will give it a try [21:02] ActionParsnip, I don't can't find this package I've installed, however if I search it it shows that it exists. [21:03] marel: you will then have the name of the package, you can then use: sudo apt-get --purge remove name [21:03] wiggmpk: i didn't think at that, tell him, maybe it will figure out [21:03] marel: what is the name of the deb you installed? [21:03] so, no one familiar with psnup and booklet printing? [21:03] I don't know exactly, but it's something with pycharm [21:03] xtreamer: i think there is a way to narrow it down with |grep audio or something like that but I dunno [21:04] marel: try: dpkg -l | grep charm [21:04] ActionParsnip, I tried this, but I didn't find that package.. [21:04] i am looking for some help with gnucash, everyone in their channel is afk [21:04] xtreamer: lol not audio but you know what i mean lol [21:05] stowoda: you should open a terminal and use 'lspci' to see that your video card is recognized properly [21:05] marel: if you run: history | grep dpkg does it give a deb name? [21:05] hi all! im trying to install xen on ubuntu 11.10 as told on this website: http://www.beyondlinux.com/2011/11/02/install-xen-4-1-and-setup-your-cloud-os-on-ubuntu-11-10/ and when i say "virsh version" i get "Cannot extract running Xen hypervisor version" -- any suggestion?

[21:08] whopps 11.10 [21:08] wildwind, I don't remember exactly, but I think make install [21:08] marel: then try: history | grep apt-get [21:08] except unity [21:09] djazz: later kernel, later libs and drivers etc [21:09] marel: then try make uninstall ) [21:09] ActionParsnip: throught so [21:09] it isnt smaller/less consuming then? [21:09] my netbook is 3 years old [21:10] wildwind, I don't have this package on my computer anymore and don't know it's exact name.. [21:10] wrektjet: panel in what way? [21:10] djazz: largely the same imho [21:10] ubuntu leaves 2 to 1.5 Gb free space on my 8 Gb SSD [21:11] djazz: you can uninstall apps you don't use [21:11] ActionParsnip, used to having a panel strip that had 'tabs' for open windows as well as little 'apps' like weather etc [21:11] ActionParsnip: is that unity lighter than the netbook-laucher thing? [21:11] djazz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/797583/ 3.2Gb used here [21:11] marel: hard case... [21:11] marel: uninstal your ubuntu and with all packages [21:11] everything seems very slow atm [21:11] wrektjet: you can tweak gnome3 to look like gnome2 [21:12] djazz: could try Lubntu to free up more resources [21:12] is there a lighter linux netbook edition? [21:12] yeah [21:12] wiggmpk, sorry: http://nopaste.info/8586462eb5.html [21:12] wrektjet: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/ [21:12] djazz: its just a lighter DE [21:13] ActionParsnip, oh so its not in the dna of gnome-3 i guess i will look into it thnx [21:13] djazz: 10.04 UNR *is* Unity FYI === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [21:13] wrektjet: not in unity session by default [21:13] is there Lubuntu with Wubi unstall? [21:13] or similar [21:13] djazz: not sure, I don't use wubi [21:14] like Joli OS or Ubuntu [21:14] sorry, anyone see my message? [21:14] i tried it from a live DVD [21:14] stowoda: ok, yeah I see it on line 4 [21:14] it worked great [21:14] :P [21:14] fikus: yes - you're visible [21:14] djazz: I believe its on the CD [21:14] marel: maybe find and clean by hand: which, configs from man etc. [21:14] llutz, you there? [21:15] stowoda: and line 3 hehe, did you try using additional drivers to see if they could be installed easier? [21:15] ActionParsnip: isnt it possible to just install the LXDE DM? [21:15] hmmm i wonder if i should try to get used to unity or just go back to older look. ill look for a unity tutorial [21:15] or whatever it use [21:15] djazz: absolutely, then just use your gnome apps in lxde ;) [21:15] @yeats many thanks (( [21:15] its in the repo? [21:15] wrektjet, Unity isn't that hard to use might take you 30 minutes to an hour. [21:15] wiggmpk, You mean: jockey.. If yes, I did with no result [21:15] !info lxde | djazz [21:15] djazz: lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional.

[21:17] wrektjet, Unity uses the unity compiz plugin but as of Ubuntu 11.10 compiz is quite wreckless and can break. [21:17] stowoda: for 3d acceleration, it would appear so [21:17] wrektjet, Probably cause you don't have the compiz manager installed. [21:17] wiggmpk, ok. thx. will try that [21:18] stowoda: have fun =) [21:18] aBound, oh no! thats not good. yes i know was kinda kidding === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [21:18] using baobab is important on a small disk xD [21:18] :P [21:18] wiggmpk, I will I guess :/ [21:18] hi, what's wrong with archive.ubuntu.org? DL's some 0,1kb/s [21:18] stowoda: its not as hard as it may seem and rewarding =) [21:19] wiggmpk, Iust before I start. first I have to resolve all the dependencies right? [21:19] wrektjet: could use unity2D, doesn't need or use 3D accel [21:19] sig^: try a different package source [21:19] wrektjet, Possibly when 12.04 LTS is released compiz may be a bit more stable for Unity. But if you want you can install the compiz settings manager in the use of Software Center. [21:19] stowoda: probably a good idea [21:19] aBound: its a bit better but I still use LXDE [21:19] wiggmpk, ok I am a noob but lets give a try [21:19] wiggmpk, thx so far [21:20] ActionParsnip, I was on 10.04 LTS last night and I still couldn't get gdm to quit being stuck in the infinite loop. So I went back to 11.10. [21:20] :P [21:20] aBound, ActionParsnip im gonna mess around with my driver bec i have some rrors getting the accelaration to work as the drivers arent getting installed successfully but compiz is a secondary thing im gonna work on primaries thanks a lot [21:20] stowoda: everyone starts somewhere, make sure you get all the essential components and packages prior to compiling.. after that its pretty straight forward [21:20] wrektjet, Understood. :P [21:21] wrektjet, Just be wary with unity and compiz you will experience breakage. Read the reviews before installing the compiz settings manager and playing with the plugins. [21:21] :( [21:22] wiggmpk, I will. Just one thing: http://www.mesa3d.org/install.html .. under prerequisites -> Linux 2.6.28 means the kernel ? [21:22] wrektjet, I know compiz worked flawlessly for me with 10.04 LTS. [21:22] I have a server with the same device showing TWICE in the mount table, at different locations in the filesystem tree. df is showing different block sizes that correctly reflect the reality that these same-named devices are really two separate devices. Have any of you experts seen anything like this?

I have a fresh Kubuntu Oneiric install, and Ubuntu One is installed and working. It also works just as expected on my other Oneiric computer running normal Ubuntu as an upgrade. Basically, Tomboy will download notes, but refuses to attempt an upload, meaning local changes get erased. Any ideas on what I might do? [21:26] linxeh 3-5 minutes ago [21:26] ok hello please help with ndiswrapper [21:26] ActionParsnip, what's the command to check.. I have a feeling it is 4. something. [21:27] I type ndiswrapper -l it says driver installed.. than I do ifconfig and i dont see wlan0 [21:27] ActionParsnip, Doubt I can live without the synapse launcher. lol [21:27] i types modprobe ndiswrapper still nothing happens [21:27] wildwind: No. We just noticed it. One volume is the initial root volume, the other is another EBS volume we added later. They both show the same ID that the added volume should have. [21:27] Ok after much trying, (been working for 4 hours now) i cant get 11.10 to work [21:27] aBound: sure you can, as long as you have the ram space to install the app [21:28] :P [21:28] ActionParsnip: installing LXDE... 62% its slooow [21:28] slugzzz: dpkg -l | grep libc6 [21:28] hello! is anyone up for helping to recover lost partitions and data? :) [21:28] or rather, 11.04. I think it is because of nvidia TNT2 which isnt supported [21:28] hugonickname, thanks that worked [21:28] wildwind: We are using EBSmount to mount volumes that we attach, but I don't think that caused the problem. Perhaps someone here has a different experience. [21:28] djazz: repos are probably busy, I use apt-fast and its silky smooth. Let it finish now though [21:29] rampage73, no problem, I'm glad [21:29] 64%...

[21:31] mishugana: later xorg version may be the issue then [21:31] Is there a later version of glibc? [21:31] yeah, is it easy to downgrade my xorg [21:31] how can i set my CPU to "performance" mode instead of the default "ondemand"? [21:31] sptt: as far as lost partitions and data, that is an incredible mess. What did you do, and what are you hoping to accomplish? It's been ages since I've been in that situation, but maybe I can help point you in the right direction [21:31] SupYoshi: try: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add it manually [21:32] I just installed and configured VPN but when I connect iwth Windows 7 and get connected I have no funtional internet.. what is going on?

[21:36] sptt: seems like something for ##windows [21:36] the weird software was used from W7 [21:37] maybe.. but i find that linux users are more reliable.. :D [21:37] sptt: well. That's new. I'm still not entirely sure what happened there; were you trying to make a CD-on-USB or were you trying to copy a partition somehow? Also, name of the software?

[21:44] hi guys, i try to install rsync and got following error: invoke-rc.d: initscript bind9, action "start" failed. What can i do?? [21:44] sptt: something like sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/sda.dat bs=512 count=65K, with your paths of course [21:44] krambiorix: do you have a desktop UI? [21:44] kewl. thanks. data is pretty much all i need, but its about 300 GB.. i have an external hdd, will try. thanks! [21:44] osrec, is the machine connected via wifi or 3g? [21:44] ActionParsnip, no [21:44] Seveas, its dri2proto. I want to install it due to compile the drivers for my graphics card [21:45] Seveas: wifi [21:45] by the way: what does that do: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/xorg/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH [21:45] does it work if i have no real partitions? [21:45] Seveas: just tried ifconfig - no ip address - I guess that is a problem ;) [21:45] stowoda, install the x11proto-dri2-dev package. Or if you really want to build a different version from source, run this to get all build dependencies: apt-get build-dep x11proto-dri2-dev [21:46] sptt: absolutely [21:46] awesome [21:46] Seveas, thx [21:46] osrec, yeah, wifi is configured by the gui. You killed the gui and thus the wifi connection [21:46] sptt: your hard drive will be listed as /dev/sda or something of the sort; /dev/sda5 would be a partition on it. Try sudo fdisk -l for a listing of your hard drives and partitions [21:46] Hellow Everyone [21:46] Seveas: so if I connect with ethernet cable, I'm ok? [21:46] hi [21:46] osrec, marking the connection as 'make this available to all users' in the network-manager applet may help as well. [21:46] ActionParsnip, any ideas? [21:47] lade [21:47] i have been trying to install freemat on hardy. Sorr I get Package freemat is not available, but is referred to by another package .This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package freemat has no installation candidate. Can any1 tell me what to infer from this error report. [21:47] krambiorix: not sure, i've only used grsync to use rsnc [21:47] how to get to the login screen from an active session (ie rite now)? [21:47] Any ine can hint where the Ubuntu Panel widget gets its weather from, (Looking for weather report in s imple format to pipe to festival) [21:47] can i copy my results here? im not sure what it means [21:47] retrorex: that some kind soul deleteed freemat from the repos but forgot to clean up after themselves [21:47] Hello everyone. [21:48] sptt: then, if you have troubles with testdisk, you can try DMDE, very powerful tool. it has more friendly UI. http://softdm.com/ [21:48] retrorex, stop repeating please. I don't think anyone will be inclined to help you given that you're using a no longer supported release and admit you're unwilling to perform any work to solve the problem. [21:49] sptt: if it's more than one line, kindly use pastebin (pastebin.com) and post that link instead [21:49] Seveas: Sorry my Bad [21:49] krambiorix, the error seems unrelated to installing rsync. It looks like your bind9 install is hosed. Do you actually use bind at all? [21:49] ok, thank you [21:49] Seveas, i'm not sure [21:50] Surlent777: Can I add any repo which has freemat and solve the problem [21:50] krambiorix, then you're probably not using it =) Do you need to run your own dns server? [21:50] here it goes http://pastebin.com/XZy1wYX8 [21:51] Seveas, nope i don't think so [21:51] krambiorix, good, then try removing the bind9 package (apt-get remove bind9) [21:51] retrorex: possibly, or just download it manually, but in all honesty, hardy is ancient and you really ought to back up local data and do a clean install of a newer one, like 10.04, which is the newest LTS release [21:52] retrorex: or be bold and try an upgrade direct to 10.04, whatever [21:52] ok thx Seveas [21:52] Seveas: Dude LTS ....Looooooooong term Support [21:52] sptt: /dev/sda is your main hard drive; you can tell because Windows uses NTFS filesystem. /dev/sdb is your live usb; it's using fat32 and is a lot smaller [21:53] is there a server IRC ? like ubuntuserver? [21:53] retrorex: Dude Long Term still implies it terminates at some point [21:53] retrorex: LTS does not mean forever. hardy is no longer supported. === greentux is now known as greentux|ganteng [21:53] ActionParsnip, i see you commented on a page that xfce is a viable option instead of fallback? which route do u recommend? [21:53] retrorex, the 'long term support' only applies to packages in the 'main' repo. And desktop support is only 3 years. [21:53] I have problem with network interface http://paste.ubuntu.com/797612/ [21:54] Surlent777, oki, thanks! === PaulW2U is now known as G4MBY [21:54] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will have deskop and server long-term support for a max of 5 years when it's released. [21:54] Seveas Think it's 5 in Precise (desktop). [21:54] yes yes, but that isn't released for nearly four months yet [21:54] Sidewinder1, we're not talking about precise here =) === hemopneumothorax is now known as BarkingFish [21:55] Surlent777: Seveas : Ubuntu 10 really bogs down my system. I will have to ring out some cash and go for a major hw upgrade :( [21:55] Seveas, Sorry, my bad; didn't mean to butt in. ;-) [21:56] :P [21:56] retrorex: I see. You could try a lighter spin, like Lubuntu, or if it's a server, just bare-bones server edition. [21:57] fikus: do other hosts ping OK? show ifconfig [21:58] retrorex: or build off of server even if it's not, have only what you need. Closest to a DIY spin available with Ubuntu. I have no idea what you need, but it might be worth trying. [21:58] wildwind: problem is in sunhme.c - driver for my card [21:58] Surlent777 : K den .. Will do that or compile from source ....So no support me from now on I guess ..:( k den [21:59] wildwind: when I use less or equal 2Gb RAM - all work fine [21:59] retrorex: I really do not recommend running with such an old release.

[22:14] ah [22:14] crassus, just the root path is taken [22:15] see that's what I thought [22:15] txomon|home: normally, if I just install eclipse via apt, where is it installed? [22:15] /usr/bin/eclipse [22:15] urlin2u: yeah big mess it was.. . got it nicely tidied up into the rsync solution or so I thought.. but now come across this prob [22:15] just...that. It's a file in /usr/bin [22:15] crassus, ^ not a dir [22:15] 3tremulous [22:15] right, but what about all the files accompanying it txomon|home ?

[22:16] crassus, don't know, but I suppose that under the different dirs of /usr/ [22:16] crassus: confirmed, I have a /usr/share/eclipse directory [22:16] I'll try putting just the executable in /usr/bin and leaving the eclipse folder there as well [22:16] Anyone after i've run the install_prereq script, went all fine however when I try to install a package now, it says this: [22:16] oh ok, I'll try that then Surlent777 [22:16] crassus, you should read the GNU standars for installing stuff [22:16] thanks [22:16] anyone else have experience with rsync missing certain files?

[22:18] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin [22:18] sorry, bad paste of the mouse.. [22:18] crassus, which ubuntu are you using? [22:18] 11.10 [22:19] crassus, and what was " the version in ubuntu is just old" ? [22:19] crassus: right then. The bin should go in /usr/bin, and the rest under /usr/share/eclipse; make sure it's all owned by root [22:19] hmm, when I moved everything but the executable to /usr/share/eclipse and put the eclipse exectuable in /usr/bin/ , launching eclipse produces this error: The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its [22:19] companion shared library. [22:19] this is what I was afraid of :/ [22:20] crassus, you may join #eclipse [22:20] crassus: oh crap, disregard. There's several other files that need to be sorted, including some in /usr/lib. [22:20] bahhhhhhh tried to get to switch user account crashes everything has this been an issue [22:21] Rico_IT: why not just use: su foo then run the command you want [22:21] crassus: I didn't realize how complicated this install was [22:21] I've rm'd the files for eclipse I have, and am starting fresh by installing from apt, let's see what version is in apt... [22:21] iThe Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its [22:21] sorry, bad paste again (stupid keyboard) [22:22] the thing is, normally in Lucid, it's like 2 or 3 versions behind. I hope it's not that bad with Oneiric. [22:22] crassus: Oneiric is considerably newer than Lucid, packages-wise [22:22] crassus: the difference is often night and day, in fact [22:22] let's hope so :) [22:22] I wish to encrypt my full ubuntu 10.4 system. the way that truecript does windows, With a code before any options are avalible. Any idea's? [22:23] crassus: according to data from Synaptic and Wikipedia, the latest stable is 3.7.1, and we have 3.7.0, assuming these version numbers are related [22:23] Ubuntu 11.10 contains newer packages. [22:24] family, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto [22:24] i need to downgrade back to 10.10 i think. [22:24] whats the best way to do that? [22:24] mishugana: fresh install [22:25] mishugana, reinstall [22:25] mishugana: matter of fact, that's about the only way [22:25] mishugana: clean install is the only way [22:25] now, when you say reinstall, can i install but install over my previous install? will my files still be there? [22:25] escott: thanks, how you dones this before? [22:26] family, no [22:26] mishugana: I...don't know? But I wouldn't count on it. [22:26] escott: thanks, I i'll give it a go. :) [22:26] mishugana: back up your stuff, then try it, for science [22:27] hm semes problem was only that theme [22:27] mishugana, one problem you will face trying to preserve your $HOME is that config files are usually parsed to upgrade to the newer format, but not the other way around so some desktop programs will have config files and options they cannot understand [22:27] anyone could get rid of the universal icon gnome-shell? [22:28] mishugana: though if/when you do try it, make sure that it's not going to try to reformat anything; also, re: dot-files as escott was saying, you may want to avoid copying those back for that reason [22:28] w__, extensions.gnome.org has an extension that does that [22:28] hm.... its my moms facebook/youtube computer there isnt much else it does [22:29] but im not sure what files she has saved on it. [22:29] i had an extension that used to work after an upgrade it stopped [22:29] Oh nice, Eclipse 3.7.0 Indigo is in the Oneiric apt! [22:29] Thanks a lot txomon|home and all ! [22:29] mishugana: use your backups, after reinstall [22:29] many webpages say that holding alt and right clicking the panel allows for applets but not happening for me am i missing something? [22:29] Seems I was making things complicated for myself for nothing ;) [22:29] im going to try to downgrade xorg first. it boots into the login screen and halfway into kdm [22:29] crassus, what did you do at the end? === Youri is now known as Iruoy [22:29] crassus: it happens. :P have fun with your new toy. [22:29] txomon|home: sudo apt-get install eclipse ;) [22:29] crassus, xD === frelan_ is now known as mrfre23 [22:32] so, still no luck with this Tomboy nonsense. I've done about everything I can think of and it still won't synch right =/ [22:33] Hooray!! for Linux. [22:33] :P [22:34] quite [22:34] hello [22:34] do anyone know from with package is /usr/bin/service ? [22:35] cojack: run: dpkg -S /usr/bin/service [22:35] ActionParsnip: thx [22:36] cojack, man service to get a reference page for service. [22:37] aBound: i was there ;) [22:37] :P [22:37] hmm there is any -dev package of this tools? i need some headers ;) [22:38] hmm, apparently there's an #ubuntuone. Perhaps they know the answer [22:41] cojack: service is just a shell script to call either an upstart job or a sysv script depending on what is available [22:42] trism: its just a shell? [22:42] ;/;/;/;/;/;/ [22:42] cojack: nano /usr/bin/service; and take a look === winut_ is now known as winut [22:43] trism: yes I look at them, ekhm crapy snoopy [22:43] cojack: stop being silly please. [22:44] ActionParsnip, opening the switch user account screen in order to login to a gnome classic session gets me a black screen with no response after i make that selection or any selection for that matter - even just logging back into my current open session [22:45] wrektjet: try logging off, then logging in to lxde instead [22:47] !ask help ubuntu not detecting my sound card it a realtec [22:47] phil__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:47] can i found some text editor with favorutes? [22:48] ActionParsnip, ok that worked. i guess i have to log out first. mental note to avoid switching users on this computer. [22:49] go8765: Gedit has a favorites plugin http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins [22:49] Is there anyway I can close the IPP port on my machine? [22:51] how do I disable that stupid sidebar in ubuntu? it keeps encroaching on precious irssi space [22:51] NastyNaz, You mean Unity? [22:51] aBound: i guess so, if that's what it's called [22:52] You gotta swap to normal desktop on the login box [22:52] Instead of netbook remix [22:52] NastyNaz: it'll auto-hide if you put the terminal window to the left of the screen [22:52] NastyNaz, Ubuntu 11.10 uses the Unity GUI. [22:52] aBound: how do I turn it all off and just use terminal instead? [22:52] owenll: I use gedit-2 now :( any other editors? [22:52] Nasty: with Ctrl-Alt-F1 [22:52] :P [22:52] is running the transmission gui on a server with regular password protection really unsecure? [22:53] NastyNaz, You can autohide the Unity sidebar through the Compiz Settings Manager. [22:53] So huh... Anyone know of a simple, command line mp3 compatible sound player :/ ? [22:53] XChat won't support MP3 format [22:53] jolaren, I use transmission-daemon with whitelist rpc so only the ip I specify can connect to it [22:53] dumb question i updated my sources how do i update? [22:54] sudo apt-get update [22:54] mpg123 is a command line player [22:54] aBound: thanks [22:54] wrektjet: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [22:54] NastyNaz, From the compiz settings manager >> click on ubuntu unity plugin. Where it says: Hide Launcher. Hit autohide. [22:54] NastyNaz, No problem. [22:54] wrektjet: that will update the package lists, then you want to run sudo apt-get upgrade [22:55] or what bastidrazor said [22:55] aBound: how do I open compiz settings manager? [22:55] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right? [22:55] NastyNaz: install compizconfig-settings-manager [22:55] oh hey thanks simple-bed ! it's mpg321 though, but it works. :P [22:55] oh easy thnx bastidrazor pangolin [22:55] NastyNaz, By default you may not have the compiz settings manager installed. Go to software center and type: Compiz settings manager. [22:55] great, there's two versions though Firartix [22:56] oh? [22:56] wrektjet: you're welcome. [22:56] trying to install mpg123, apt tells to install mpg321 instead [22:56] aBound: I used ctrl+alt+f1 as someone else said, seems like that is much easier, brb as I restart irssi [22:56] i think theres mpg321 and mpg123. possibly a fork. but this was in arch repos [22:56] lol [22:56] NastyNaz, [22:56] that was a joke <.< [22:57] well it works pretty well I dont need the gui [22:57] Firartix, lol [22:57] well if it works for you :P [22:57] brb [22:57] just recall it's a separate login [22:57] eh. [22:57] I doubt I could use that kind of terminal. :P [22:58] and im back [22:58] !nox | NastyNaz [22:58] NastyNaz: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [22:58] I prefer to have my GUI just in case something goes awry. [22:58] NastyNaz: just recall, it's a separate login, so you have to logout there too [22:58] also, it's not locked [22:58] so uh [22:58] i mean, if your X Session is locked, the tty1 won't be [22:58] is there any way to increase the resolution in here? [22:58] window is tiny [22:58] dunno [22:59] NastyNaz: what video chip? [22:59] can anyone provide me with some help or point me to some help regarding boot problems? on click of ubuntu from grub manager screen goes black and does nothing [22:59] amd 6990 [22:59] NastyNaz, From installing startupmanager you can. But using startupmanager can cause breakage with certain binary drivers. [22:59] i thought it'd autodetect to best resolution [22:59] i have a fairly good font size here [23:00] NastyNaz: with proprietary driver? [23:00] kingfisher64: nothing at all? [23:00] mongy: oh, smart.. then If I'm outside the zone I can ssh in and adjust the IP [23:00] ActionParsnip: no, it's virtualised, this is a VM im running on [23:00] o.o [23:00] NastyNaz: then its a virtualized hardware [23:01] you're running irssi in a VM? [23:01] why would you do that [23:01] ActionParsnip: i have pci-e passthrough though [23:01] you can run it directly on your os [23:01] jolaren, yes [23:01] so ubuntu detects the 6990, i just did autoinstall on drivers [23:01] NastyNaz: is there an app for setting the res for ATi? [23:01] NastyNaz? [23:02] Firartix: it loads the grub boot manager (with debian text in bottom right - and space theme) with the list of OS's. I click ubuntu and the screen goes black. All i can do is type text in [23:02] NastyNaz: there is also the display settings item in dash [23:02] ActionParsnip: there is in the GUI but im in ctrl+alt+f1 now [23:02] and its pretty low res [23:02] NastyNaz: you may get a better desktop if you use the virtualized video card, the default install has the driver for that [23:03] kingfisher64, new install hats the back on getting where you are? [23:03] kingfisher64: if grub is working, but not the boot, something is probably wrong with either your install or grub's mapping (or however it's called?) [23:03] whats* [23:03] imo just reinstall grub :S [23:03] how do you get a dos game to run off a CD/ [23:03] OctogonalLights: not an ubuntu issue [23:04] heh [23:04] you should be able to with Wine [23:04] hello there, i've got a computer in front of me connected to a box. But i can't see it with airodump-ng... How is it possible ? [23:04] ActionParsnip: i dont want a gui, I just want this text-only ubuntu to use 1680x1050 res instead of the small one it is now [23:04] or a VM? [23:04] So hey NastyNaz you still havent told me [23:04] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right? [23:04] Why are you using irssi in Ubuntu over a VM instead of running directly onto your host system NastyNaz ? [23:04] NastyNaz: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [23:04] Firartix: i'm new to ubuntu and having installed many apps - I tried installing ubuntu gnone desktop (from app manager) on restart the normal boot manager (purple theme) is replaced with this horrible debian space theme boot manager look. Is there any way i can uninstall that app from outside ubuntu by going into the recovery option and entering an uninstall command from the terminal? [23:04] Firartix: esxi is my host system [23:05] eeeh... esxi [23:05] how i can kill rox -S ? i cant found it in htop :( [23:05] kingfisher64, yes you can from recovery root [23:05] kingfisher64: um, what exactly did you install ? and by purple manager, you still mean grub? [23:06] thanks ActionParsnip ill check it out [23:06] well you better off listening to urlin2u, i never managed to get that grub running correctly... :( [23:07] Firartix - the grub theme is changed from default purple coloured theme to some space background with debian text, something about universal boot. I noticed that recovery option and selected from recovery drop down option to access the command line however I don't know the command to uninstall this app or troubleshoot the problem. === Dmitry is now known as Guest3569 [23:08] urlin2u - could you tell me the command line code? sudo apt-get.... ? [23:09] you should be able to change the GRUB config file manually from the command line, but i don't quite recall where/how [23:09] how do I find out what terminal Im using? [23:09] kingfisher64, if in root apt-get purge "application" I assume here alot in here. [23:09] is 11.10 the latest version? [23:10] ya [23:10] so far yes [23:10] ty [23:10] heh, isnt EoN a band name? [23:10] kingfisher64, what is your graphic card. Was it the gnome shell you installed? [23:10] it was a very very old school trance artists name yeah lol [23:11] EoN: latest stable, yes [23:11] urlin2u - i installed the gnone desktop from the software app center. I think it's that which has broken the boot [23:11] EoN: Precise (12.04 is in Alpha due for release April this year) [23:11] ok cool [23:11] how i can kill rox -S ? i cant found it in htop :( [23:12] kingfisher64, did you use a link for heres what you do with a fresh install of this distro? [23:12] when I use ctrl+alt+f1, what terminal does that log me in to? xterm? [23:12] NastyNaz: tty1 [23:13] salam [23:14] urlin2u - i just installed the app. I read some reviews stating it was as simple as going to the software center and clickign install. What i was trying to achieve was on appearance of login screen clicking graphic next to username text field a dropdown list appears with ubuntu, ubuntu2-d, gnome, gnome2-d [23:14] weird, I set the resolution in /etc/default/grub to 1680x1050 but its not doing it, whats the command to reload the file? [23:15] NastyNaz, update-grub [23:15] NastyNaz: sudo update-grub will apply the setting, you may want to set the other things in the guide too [23:15] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right? [23:15] Hi there, does anyone know how I can figure out what video card I have active? [23:15] kingfisher64, so two questions... what is your graphic card...nividia? What was the actual intalled distro here which desktop? [23:16] malibu: sudo lshw -C display maybe [23:16] urlin2u - 8600m gt and ubuntu 11.10 [23:16] urlin2u - 64 bit [23:17] ActionParsnip, Yes that worked, very good thanks [23:17] malibu: np :) [23:18] kingfisher64, that is a nividia card do you know how to edit the kernel at the grub menu? [23:18] urlin2u - no [23:18] !nomodeset | kingfisher64 look here hopefully this is just the problem. [23:18] kingfisher64 look here hopefully this is just the problem.: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:19] Hello, Recently I installed Ubuntu side by side with Windows 7 ,Now after a month I love ubuntu and not using Windows anymore ,I want to increase ubuntu disk partition, How do I do that? [23:19] amaroks, you have a wubi or partitioned install? [23:20] amaroks, use gparted to either remove or shrink the windows partition and grow the ubuntu partition [23:20] amaroks, gparted livecd [23:20] hello anyone here have experience with UCARP? [23:20] what does the pipe bar do in the command line? I see loads of commands with a | in the middle of them [23:20] NastyNaz, its a pipe it connects the output of one command to the input of another [23:21] oh ok that sounds very handy, cheers [23:21] urlin2u where I suppose to have wubi [23:21] brb going to restart to see if this resolution thing worked [23:21] exit [23:21] It's something unix has had since 1970s [23:22] amaroks == mody__ [23:22] pipes are awesome [23:22] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right? [23:22] raven: .local too ? [23:22] <[deXter]> yep, imagine, without pipes we would have to fetch water from the well every time we wanted to have a drink or a shower! [23:22] mody_, ? [23:23] urlin2u where I suppose to have wubi [23:23] urlin2u - would uninstalling the gnome app from within the ubuntu recovery boot option not work? [23:23] anyone know anything about UCARP? [23:23] mody_, are you installing a wubi? [23:23] No [23:23] well I cant believe that worked, 1680x1050 terminal now [23:23] mody_: wubi is a method of dual booting and it matters to how you proceed with what you want to do. [23:23] how i can found pid of programm that i cant found in top and htop? [23:24] NastyNaz: simple stuff dude :) [23:24] so no other visual way? [23:24] kingfisher64, have you tried the nomodeset, I would try that first your assuming that is the problem. Did you install the nividia drivers or did you need to. [23:25] Visual` there seems nothing interesting for xfce in .local [23:25] go8765: I thinl from your original post youn need to killall ROX-Filer [23:25] go8765: pidof command or: ps -ef | grep PID | grep -v grep [23:25] mody_, then give a clear consensus. [23:26] ActionParsnip: the hardest thing is I don't know about stuff like initramfs-tools and other stuff and I have no way of 'finding out' about them until I google, how did people learn linux back before the internet? [23:26] anyone know where I can go to get help with UCARP? [23:26] NastyNaz: read books [23:27] urlin2u - no i didn't go near installing video drivers in case something like this happened!!! i wanted to replicate my win7 environment and then look further into ubuntu regarding updating system drivers. === mody__ is now known as amaroks [23:27] NastyNaz: channels like this [23:27] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right? [23:27] NastyNaz: freenode is older than most folks in here :) [23:28] so no other visual way? [23:28] kingfisher64, then use the nomodeset that is how you get in with graphic problems generally, probably what is going on. [23:28] amaroks: use a gparted liveCD. [23:28] Are there any good books out that are relevant now, say for server administration etc? I'm thinking of making my virtual cluster all ubuntu server/centOS but have no idea about how to set individual user permissions etc [23:28] owenll: ActionParsnip thaks. it help :) [23:28] kingfisher64, the drivers may be waiting in additional drivers.

Each user has their own /home/ and can install anything to it (without root), I'm just not competent enough right now to make sure all user permissions are correct and there are no loopholes for users [23:32] NastyNaz: aham, so you have some experience? [23:32] I also have no idea how to bandwidth cap each user [23:33] Well, I downloaded 10.04.3 from www.ubuntu.com, I have 11.10 64 bit, I installed 11.10 with my USB stick, and now am going to create a usb stick with 10.04.3 to go back and I cannot create that usb. Actually it shows me a screen with text only. like MS DOS [23:33] Atlantic777: most of my experience is with ESXi and network admin of VPS. Right now most of our machines are running windows server but we're thinking of moving over. [23:33] Hm, I've been playing with bandwith (network) shapers for about a month, and I really don't know why it has to be soo complicated. :D [23:34] NastyNaz: it can be done with ip tables and some nasty kernel tricks. It's really complicated, afaik. [23:34] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right?

[23:40] peryson: that's fine :) [23:40] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right? [23:40] 10.04 was the last stable>? [23:40] peryson: have you tried unity2d instead of unity3d? [23:40] I get 'no such file or directory' [23:41] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right? [23:41] bastidrazor, yes but my laptop is 6 years old and my ATI Radeon X1200 isn't supported on any ubuntu release. [23:41] peryson: i have that card on this laptop. i use the radeon driver. [23:42] Super_Defender_X: 11.10 is the latest stable [23:42] peryson: RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [23:42] 11.10 xubuntu - trying to clone desktop/panel settings. copied .config/xfce4 but no effect - how to do it right? [23:42] bastidrazor, yes, indeed. hmm, I'll remember your nickname, do you joining here a lot? [23:42] 11.10 is LTS? [23:42] no [23:43] peryson: i am here often. unity3d fails for this laptop but unity2d works well [23:43] Super_Defender_X: 12.04 which is in Alpha is LTS [23:43] Super_Defender_X: Lucid (10.04) is the currently released LTS === Braiam is now known as Guest57255 [23:44] Does anyone here has Ubuntu 11.10 x86 installed in a Dell? [23:44] bastidrazor, I have 2D now but I will go to 10.04.3. I will return in a bit. Also thanks for your time and I hope to see you again here and tell me more about our stupid card :P Because it's not supported anymore! [23:44] Jordan_U when i use sudo insmod pcspkr it says no such file or directory [23:45] peryson: 10.04 ran very well on this box. good luck. [23:45] indeed [23:45] :) [23:45] how do I create a root account [23:45] or enable it [23:45] I want to be able to su root [23:45] Teratogen: its not supported here [23:45] !root | Teratogen [23:45] Teratogen: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:45] Teratogen: just use; sudo -i [23:45] i'll come back again! tonight :D [23:45] no, I want root! [23:45] Teratogen: that IS root, try it [23:45] Unix is not Unix without root! [23:45] hi there, been along time since I came for help but now I have a problem. [23:45] Just upgraded from 10.04,10.10,11.04,11.10 worked fine on all the intermediate versions [23:45] Just now after finishing 11.10 system will no longer boot, not even into recovery mode, stop at [23:46] acpi powerbutton something or other. [23:46] hey there - 2 questions - is there a simple gui that allows to format usb storage drives? [23:46] snarkster: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:46] Is this a commom problem with upgrading and how do i fix it? [23:46] Teratogen: the account is disabled, enabling it is not supported or advised here, no is it needed [23:46] Kaapa: use gparted [23:47] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks [23:47] sorry for the flood [23:47] i am in gnome classic NOT the no effects option and i cant move or resize windiws any ideas? [23:47] I'm having a problem with ubuntu 11.10 64bits on a Dell... can anyone help me? [23:47] how to copy xfce settings to another machine [23:47] tensorpudding: what problem? [23:47] number 2, which is actually is related somehow, can I safely extend my swap partition even though that's an extended one? === michael is now known as Guest96813 [23:47] <[deXter]> renemoraes, What's the issue? [23:47] renemoraes, state the actual problem. [23:48] Kaapa: boot to liveCD and you can resize partitions, be sure your backups are up to date in case of catastrophe [23:48] cool [23:48] question retracted [23:48] thanks in advance Dexter... when I'm using my laptop plugged on the energy my screen starts to flash sometimes and flick... its very annoying [23:48] when I installed ubuntu, it defined a 4gb swap, that however sometimes is unsufficient for hibernation [23:49] rule of 2xram is enough? [23:49] it doesnt happen when i'm using only the battery [23:49] how to copy xfce settings to another machine [23:49] Kaapa: equal ram is enough. [23:49] after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 system will not boot, nor recovery work either [23:49] renemoraes: do you have the latest BIOS? [23:49] bastidrazor: doesn't seem to be, it's what I have [23:49] raven: probably some settings in ~/.config some in dconf / gconf [23:49] and with lots of crap open I get the message of not enough swap [23:50] I've bought my pc last week.. so.. I guess I do [23:50] could someone else be wrong? [23:50] but how can I check it? [23:50] raven: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=4168 [23:50] what I don't understand is you can do as much damage with sudu as you can with the root account, but I guess I can see the philosophy behind disabling root [23:50] ActionParsnip tnx [23:50] to protect users from themselves [23:51] Teratogen: yes [23:51] Teratogen, only the first user has root priv, next user doesn't [23:51] Kaapa: if you have the space, increase swap size. [23:51] Teratogen: Exactly :) [23:51] the first thing I after opening a shell on my Slackware box is su root [23:51] =) [23:52] Teratogen: its a good contrl thing, plus it stops people logging in as root and running web browsers and stuff (not smart) [23:52] right [23:52] Just use sudo -i, then. [23:52] Teratogen: my slackware background is iching me to beat you by saying that [23:53] ActionParsnip: my bios version is A07 [23:53] using root for day-to-day tasks isn't so smart, really [23:53] is that the last one? [23:53] Teratogen: not all cli commands need root, especially manipulating files in user home folders [23:53] leontopod is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [23:53] renemoraes: is that the latest? [23:53] uh oh [23:53] Teratogen, you have to be in the admin group [23:53] renemoraes: check on the manufacturers site [23:54] ok.. let me check that first... === braiam_ is now known as braiam__ === braiam__ is now known as braiam_ === Hiz_ is now known as Hiz === braiam_ is now known as braiam__ [23:58] ActionParsnip: I'm not with the last one... but the manufacturers just offers the .EXE file... can u help me telling how could I install it? === braiam__ is now known as braiam2 [23:58] renemoraes: but what version is it? [23:58] cli has gotten to soft and simple, we need to take it to the next step in difficulty, no more monitor, we gonna take tactile, a braille output device surgically implanted into the left hand, we can not allow ourselves to become 'common' <-- that is my impression of the cli purist, me? ubuntu is decided to do otherwise, i am with them [23:59] NastyNaz: Sorry, I think pcspkr is now managed by ALSA. Try unmuting it with "alsamixer". [23:59] ActionParsnip: mine is A07.. the newest one is A09
