testing123321does anyone here know how to make facebook detect webcam on ubuntu ?00:00
testing123321thanks in advance00:00
D4nt3hello. I'm recently purchased an hp pavilion dv6 laptop and I've been trying desperately to install ubuntu. I've tried both install via a dvd and using wubi and neither works correctly. Everything works fine but the screen refuses to turn on while ubuntu is booted. I manage to get it to output to my monitor by a vga cable though so I'm sure the os itself is working. Would anyone know how to00:00
D4nt3fix this?00:00
almoxarifetesting123321: your web browser needs to see the camera, it sees it, facebook sees it00:01
TeratogenD4nt3, does the screen turn on at all?00:02
renemoraesActionParsnip: thank you very much! really! I will follow the steps... thank u again!00:02
D4nt3no it's off completely00:02
testing123321how does one make the web browser see the camera tho ?00:02
=== Toto is now known as Guest45902
go8765is any library on ubuntu for some text/pdf documents?00:02
TeratogenD4nt3, you don't even see the BIOS splash?00:02
almoxarifetesting123321: that depends on the browser, but chances are your system does not see the camera, is it builtin?00:03
testing123321it works on other webchat but not on facebook00:04
testing123321no it's not built-in00:04
D4nt3When I boot via wubi I see a splash screen that tears after a few seconds then my screen turns off. If I boot via the dvd I see a low res purple screen that disappears after a few seconds.00:04
escott!nomodeset | D4nt300:05
ubottuD4nt3: 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 parameter00:05
almoxarifetesting123321: then you really got an odd issue, if you have used the camera with the web browser before then its between you and facebook settings00:05
testing123321o.O I see00:06
Oertesting123321, set facebook on Allow : found @ http://superuser.com/questions/192253/how-do-you-enable-webcam-support-in-facebook-for-ubuntu-10-04 >>> http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html00:06
ravenActionParsnip i tried theese hints but it still does not change the settings00:07
almoxarifeOer: it is a facebook setting then :)00:07
Oeralmoxarife, no flash setting00:07
testing123321thank you :D00:08
testing123321so i need sun java then ? :)00:08
almoxarifeOer: flash setting for the cam to work?00:08
pitlimitwhat file system can be read by ubuntu, mac os x AND windows?00:08
almoxarifetesting123321: java for flash?00:08
ubluntupitlimit: fat3200:09
pitlimithm00:09
ActionParsnippitlimit: ntfs00:09
testing123321the web page says to install sun java ...00:09
SVNDRHow can i changed my fans RPM? ive tried with lm-sensors but it doesnt detect my fan. ive tried looking in BIOS but there is no option there00:09
ActionParsniptesting123321: sun doesn't own java now, oracle does00:09
pitlimitActionParsnip: is ntfs writeable by mac os x?00:10
ravenhow to copy xfce settings to another machine00:10
ubluntupitlimit: its not readable by default either afaik00:10
ActionParsnippitlimit: no idea, I don'tuse apple's rubbish00:10
ahhughescurrently, when I goto \\mymachine\  the samba share will share ~/   But I want it to share more than that, not sure how to ask that question better... but hopefully you can understand what I am trying todo. How can I configure other directories to be shared on samba.00:10
almoxarifetesting123321: assuming you have a ubuntu install you already have java00:10
pitlimitI will reword my question. What file system can be rw by ubuntu mac osx and windows?00:10
ActionParsnippitlimit: fat32 certainly will but its not very robust, plus 4Gb file limit may affect your storage option00:11
almoxarifepitlimit: ntfs00:11
pitlimitoh00:11
pitlimitok00:11
pitlimitthanks00:11
NastyNaz how do I stop tty making the screen go black after 5min of inactivity?00:11
ubluntuNastyNaz: disable dpms00:12
OerSVNDR,if lmsensors do not recognize yours, it will run automatic by ACPI, full speed i guess00:12
almoxarifeNastyNaz: install a desktop and configure it to do so00:12
ActionParsniptesting123321: do you use 32bit ubuntu?00:12
wrektjetis there a way to restore the default i was messing around with compiz in unity mode and i killed everything on my desktop - just a blank now. running off a terminal00:12
SVNDROer: is there any way to check what RPM its running at00:13
Gillhey anyone know why this would be happening? [WARNING] Non-preferred master advertising: reasserting control of VIP with another gratuitous arp00:13
mishuganamy ubuntu 10.10 livecd wants a username and password. anyway to get around this00:13
testing123321Yes, 32 bit00:13
urlin2uwrektjet, unity --reset then reboot00:13
almoxarifewrektjet: try a reboot00:13
ActionParsnipmishugana: press CTRL+ALT+F1  and run:  passwd ubuntu   press CTRL+ALT+F7 and login as ubuntu with the password you set00:14
urlin2uwrektjet, a plaiun reboot may be the answer as suggested as well.00:14
urlin2uplain*00:14
NastyNazubluntu: how do I disable dpms?00:14
ActionParsniptesting123321: http://paste.ubuntu.com/797750/00:14
ubluntuNastyNaz: do you have an xorg.conf ?00:14
ActionParsniptesting123321: that's my script to install oracle java 1.7_0200:14
mishuganawhen i control alt f1 it says Authentication failure 11 times00:14
testing123321cool :D00:15
ubluntuNastyNaz: or for command line only ?00:15
testing123321thanks00:15
NastyNazubluntu: im using the ctrl+alt+f1 terminal00:15
NastyNazubluntu: if i use gui and fullscreen irrsi it never goes black but in ctrl+alt+f1 it does00:15
OerSVNDR, not without lmsensors AFAIK00:16
Gillanyone have any idea why my VIP always gets pulled to one of the servers?00:16
ubluntuNastyNaz: xset force dpms off00:16
ubluntuNastyNaz: sorry xset dpms force off00:16
SVNDROer: damn, alright cheers.. just got a massive overheating problem00:16
ubluntuNastyNaz: probably have to do that every reboot though.00:16
renemoraesActionParsnip: I received this warning: "This system does not appear to have any updates available. No action necessary." Do u know if the community repositories are always updated?00:17
almoxarifeNastyNaz: so you use irrsi strictly for the sense of ????? 1960 but you are willing to screw with dpms simply because it 'may' keep a terminal screen from going dark?00:17
NastyNazubluntu: i get error:unable to open display ""00:17
escottNastyNaz, xset is an x11 command00:18
ubluntuhrm. how do you stop dpms for just cli then ? vbetool ?00:18
almoxarifeubluntu: no, you remove gnome-screen saver , install x-screen saver and you keep dpms, but that would still stink of gui in some circles, i am sure there is a more difficult way though00:20
NastyNazso in text-only ubuntu how do I stop it going to screensaver?00:21
almoxarifeubluntu: and yes, dont forget to auto-run x-screen saver in user mode00:21
almoxarifeNastyNaz: there is no such thing as 'text' only ubuntu, look it up00:21
NastyNazwell in tty00:22
=== mike is now known as Guest71897
NastyNazif I go into gui and turn screensaver off will it work in tty?00:22
Guest71897Hello! good day!00:22
almoxarifeNastyNaz: why not try, live a little00:23
escottNastyNaz, i dont think so. X should give up control over the hardware to the kernel00:23
ubluntuNastyNaz: sorry guess I only know how to do it for x sorry00:23
Guest71897hey, how do I change my nickname here?00:23
NastyNazturns out gui was already set to never turn screen off, so I guess the answer to my initial question is 'no'00:24

xubuntu5how can i automount via sshfs?00:34
ActionParsnipJasonGriffee: you'll need to install the playdeb deb to add the ppa00:34
almoxarifeJasonGriffee: or you restate the question, ' hey guys, how can i use the xbox controller as a terminal pointer??' that might get the purists interested00:34
RexterI just did a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 64bit on a new Ibuypower system. Nothing fancy, just a little Asrock mini atx board with built on graphics. The issue is ubuntu will only do 800X600 with the gui tool. how do I get in to fix this?00:34
=== theborger is now known as Olfway
ActionParsnipRexter: what GPU?00:35
almoxarifehansg01: i use chromium just so i dont have the issue00:35
=== Olfway is now known as theborger
_HoochMan_xubuntu5: hmmm, I wouldn't know that one, try searching on the ubuntu help site,maybe they have something00:35
RexterActionParsnip; how can I tell?00:35
xubuntu5alright thanks00:35
ActionParsnipRexter: lspci | grep -i vga00:36
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: you can add them in /etc/fstab00:36
hansg01almoxarife: and yeah i m using chrome and chromium doesn't have the recent v16 while chrome has, what this?00:36
xubuntu5i can add sshfs to /etc/fstab?00:36
xubuntu5maybe write a script that runs on boot or something idk how i'd get it to enter the password for ssh maybe have to use auth files or something :( and thanks again hooch pysdm was just what i needed00:36
mellin I've been trying to get FreeBSD installed using the Virtual Box package in Muon. FreeBSD will not boot with error message about long mode not being supported. I installed the extensions pack as well. Any help with what I need to do to get BSD installed in VM?00:37
xubuntu5and why is my audio sooo bad when i play a file that i've mounted with sshfs i'm just trying to play an mp3 on the remote comp locally but the audio is so messed up for some reason00:37
almoxarifehansg01: recent v16???00:37
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: you may need to run:  sudo mount -a    in the desktop (or tweak the OS) to make it mount after the network comes up etc (unless the system uses a wired connection)00:37
hansg01almoxarife: the update to version 1600:37
RexterActionParsnip: Intel Sandybridge Integrated.00:37
ActionParsnipRexter: I suggest you use Oneiric, it has better support for the chip00:38
xubuntu5thanks action00:38
RexterActionParsnip: how do i change it?00:38
almoxarifehansg01: version 16 chrome is ??? better?00:39
xubuntu5how can i run my scripts after boot as root?00:39
xubuntu5i can't sudo in the script because that requires the root password00:39
ActionParsnipRexter: upgrade to precise (12.04) you can do in one jump. Or you will need to upgrade to maverick, then to natty, then to oneiric. Or you can install oneiric clean00:39
escottxubuntu5, you dont need sudo to mount in fstab00:40
Pickleface_hi how can I play starcraft 2 on ubuntu 11.1000:40
xubuntu5thanks escott00:40
RexterActionParsnip: belay my last. I know what you are talking about...00:40
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: you can have a script run which has a looong sleep command in then run: sudo mount -a     may do it...00:40
almoxarifebelayed aye00:40
xubuntu5if i chown the script to root will that still ask me for the root password if i have it running root commands?00:41
RexterActionParsnip: This comp is for a computer illiterate family member. i was really hoping to stick with a LTS.00:41
escottxubuntu5, take the sudo out. it is not needed00:41
xubuntu5but say i had something else that needed sudo is that how i would do it chown the .sh file?00:41
ubluntuxubuntu5: no00:42
ActionParsnipRexter: Lucid desktop suport ends when Oneiric's does00:42
almoxarife<Rexter> ActionParsnip: belay my last. I know what you are talking about... , yearssssssssssssssssss since i heard that term :)00:42
xubuntu5oh how would i do that00:42
escottxubuntu5, you would chown the file restrict permissions and mark it as setuid and audit the code to make sure it sanitizes any inputs00:42
xubuntu5setuid?00:42
xubuntu54755?00:42
xubuntu5thanks again for all your help00:43
RexterActionParsnip: ah, ok. How do I get rid of Unity, and will it be just the same otherwise?00:43
escottxubuntu5, its not something you should do unless it is absolutely necessary. in this case it isn't since mount is setuid00:43
xubuntu5ok thanks00:43
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: make a script with 3 lines:http://pastebin.com/buQJyUj4    save that somewhere and make it executable00:43
ThomasBoxleyhttp://up.liga.ir/images/6m7ux4qi4c6tyn7dvp1x.swf00:44
ThomasBoxleyoh god wrong channel00:44
ThomasBoxleydon't click00:44
ActionParsnipRexter: Gnome isn't the ONLY desktop, you can use your favourite Gnome apps in XFCE and you will not have Unity....00:44
xubuntu5thanks action00:44
xubuntu5what does the a flag do?00:44
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: then make it run in /etc/rc.local00:44
xubuntu5in mount00:44
joker2uwhereis the startx setting to keep x from loading at boot?00:44
xubuntu5/usr/bin/startx??? not sure just a guess00:44
RexterActionParsnip: cool, buy i want the gnome version I'm used to.00:44
ubluntujoker2u: lightdm starts Xorg afaik00:45
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: the -a option, tells the system to mount (A)ll the file systems in fstab00:45
xubuntu5got it!00:45
xubuntu5and you don't need sudo to do that??00:45
joker2uxubuntu5 it's artistx. I DO NOT WANT X!!  I want x dead,00:45
xubuntu5and then i just add it to rc.local?00:45
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: rc.local will run the script as root, you will need to add an ampersand to the command so the script is backgrounded00:45
escottxubuntu5, no thats half of the reason for the existence of /etc/fstab00:46
xubuntu5i see00:46
xubuntu5so i can do either /etc/fstab or run that script with rc.local?00:46
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: add it above the exit 0 line00:46
xubuntu5thanks00:46
xubuntu5just ./script & above exit 0?00:46
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: the network will not be up when fstab is executed, so network shares will not mount00:46
xubuntu5./script.sh00:46
escottxubuntu5, anything in rc.local is run as root, so you can do whatever you want there, or you can put it in fstab and run it yourself without sudo00:46
joker2uI lost all of my panels and can't do anything. I deleted the .config and EVERY file in every user and even root to force rebuild of defaults but still no panel00:47
RexterActionParsnip: What version of Gnome does ubuntu 11.10 contain?00:47
xubuntu5thank you so much00:47
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: no do NOT use ./  use absolute path as there is no pwd00:47
ActionParsnipRexter: 3.2..00:47
xubuntu5ok00:47
xubuntu5thanks again!00:47
joker2u?00:47
bastidrazor!text | joker2u00:47
ubottujoker2u: 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%20Mode00:47
UmeaboyHi!00:48
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: the script will sleep 30 seconds, then run the mount -a   making the fstab mount for you.00:48
RexterActionParsnip: eew. looking to avoid that. can i go with Gnome 2.3 , or 2.4?00:48
xubuntu5thanks action00:48
joker2uubottu grub.conf has nothing to do with x?00:48
ubottujoker2u: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)00:48
UmeaboyLets for instance assume that I want to port a guide that's written for Ubuntu and/or Debian to another distro..........00:48
ActionParsnipRexter: gnome 2 is dead00:48
xubuntu5and i don't need the ./ in rc.local?00:48
ubluntujoker2u: grub is the boot loader for ubuntu00:49
xubuntu5can i run gui programs in rc.local or just background services?00:49
xubuntu5like have web browser start up00:49
xubuntu5and rc.local runs everything as root??00:49
ActionParsnipRexter: as I said, if you use XFCE, it will look and smell like Gnome 2, but you can use your Gnome apps easily as XFCE is coded in GTK00:49
UmeaboyIf I then don't know what some of the packages in that guide are called in the other distro, how do I find out?00:49
UmeaboyI don't know what thoose packages contain.00:49
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: yes everything runs as root, you can use su to run commands as any other user too :)00:49
UmeaboyI mean filewise.00:49
ActionParsnipxubuntu5: just services and command, there is no x server when rc.local is ran, unless you use the sleep method00:50
joker2uis there a way to manual edit of the desktop /startup application panel from the command line?00:51
RexterActionParsnip: I really appreciate all the info. I think I've come back 360 to my original question. I'm looking to stick with 10.04 if I can, but would like help with the graphics adjustment.00:51
xubuntu5ahh got it00:51
xubuntu5is that the only way to run x at startup with the sleep command?00:51
xubuntu5i like that idea of having it sleep and then load stuff00:51
NastyNazok after 20min on the internet searching im back to square one: how do I stop screen going black after 5min inactive in the ctrl+alt+f1 terminal?00:51
ubluntuRexter: whats wrong with your graphics on 10.04 exactly so someone can help00:51
ActionParsnipRexter: when April next year rolls round, Lucid desktop support will be dead and Gnome 3 will be the only Gnome choice00:52
escottNastyNaz, see if there is anything in /sys related to dpms00:52
Pickleface_hi how can I play starcraft 2 on ubuntu 11.1000:53
xubuntu5NastyNaz i have one solution that may or may not work try running byobu in TTY1 (ctrl alt f1) and then in the byobu settings select something that updates more often then 5 minutes like ram usage maybe? or try running byobu and create a new tab in byobu and maybe run something like htop in on of the tabs00:53
xubuntu5byobu is awesome!00:53
=== kevin is now known as SKeme
=== SKeme is now known as Skeme
xubuntu5you can have tabs in your TTY1 NastyNaz00:54
RexterActionParsnip: I realize this sounds thick skulled, and on my machine, I'm using 11.10 with unity, but this individual is used to Gnome 2, and will not want to change. So for my sanity, I think it best to stick with 10.04.00:54
joker2uplease somebody tell me how to rescue a desktop?00:54
NastyNazxubuntu5: that might not work cuz irssi keeps refreshing screen all the time and it still goes blank if i dont use keyboard00:54
joker2uplease somebody tell me how to rescue a desktop?00:54
Rexterubluntu: The screen resolution in the gui tool won't go higher than 800X600.00:54
joker2u.00:54
joker2uj00:54
ActionParsnipRexter: xfce looks like gnome2. You could try the xorg edgers update ppa but the age of the stuff in Lucid makes newer stuff harder to get working00:54
xubuntu5dang you might be right NastyNaz hmm try hmm try running cmatrix -s screen saver mode for cmatrix that should keep going00:54
ubluntuRexter: in the graphics properties? you can use xrandr to add a new mode. I could talk you threw it.00:55
escottjoker2u, .config/autostart?00:55
xubuntu5might not be what you want to see after 5 minutes but still cool matrix screensaver00:55
Rexterubluntu: that would be great! how to start?00:55
fulcanescott that sn crashed. this is joker00:55

zdhq00:57
fulcanescott I deleted the entire user directory and root directory, rebuilt them, reboot and the damn panels are still gone. TOTALLY un navagatable00:57
shaneohi im writing a little bash script is there a way to mask the actions of the script with user text for a cleaner looking install process00:57
escottfulcan, making a new user directory should be enough. what do you mean panels are gone00:58
Jordan_Ushaneo: Install process for what?00:58
escottshaneo, you mean "echo"00:59
shaneoits a script that setups an irc shell all at once00:59
fulcanescott yes, but how do I change the user that x goes into?00:59
shaneoyeah its alot of wget and tar commands and i just want to show some text insted00:59
fulcanescott how about this. How do I nuke X?00:59
Rexterubluntu: http://pastebin.com/p0kvqf4z00:59
escottfulcan, with gdm it was a file in /etc/default/gdm not sure with lightdm but probably something in /etc/lightdm00:59
ubluntuRexter: thats blank ?01:00

fyremecan anyone help?01:03
Rexterubluntu, ok cool, next step?01:03
Jordan_Ushaneo: It sounds like you would be better off using software from the repositories, but to redirect stdout of a command use "command > /path/to/file.txt" to get both stdout and stderr use "command 2>&1 > /path/to/file" for more help ask in #bash01:03
ubluntuRexter: run xrandr --newmode "everything you got after ModeLine from other command"01:03

grobda24What is the status of Asus Eee PC 701 ("4G") compatibility ?01:05
UmeaboyIsn't esound deprecated in Ubuntu?01:05
somsipgrobda24: look up eeebuntu01:05
Jordan_Ufyreme: Where are you running into a problem?01:05
Umeaboyfyreme: Use Samba.01:06
UmeaboyOr just open the partition in nautilus.'01:07
fyremei cant login to windows can i still use nautilus or samba01:07
fyremeubuntu is on the same drive as the windows partition01:08
grobda24somsip, thanks01:08
Rexterubluntu: ok, seemed to take it...01:08
ubluntu Rexter does it show up in the display thing now?01:08
fyremei am not very expierenced with linux01:09
Rexterubluntu: no01:09
somsipgrobda24: you're welcome01:09
almoxarifefyreme: samba wont work is win is down, look at the disk utility, 'mount' the partion with win on it if it is not mounted, then use nautilus01:09
Rexterubluntu: do I need to restart perhaps?01:09
Jordan_Ufyreme: You should be able to access your Windows partition with nautilus. Ignore the comment about samba, it's not related to what you're trying to do.01:09
grobda24somsip, hang on ... eeebuntu is Aurora now. Is it still up to date for the 701 ?01:10
ubluntuRexter: no xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.00  replace the last part with yours obviously01:10
somsipgrobda24: you got me there. Been a long time since I looked at it01:10
fyremejordon_u how do i access the windows files within linux?01:10
grobda24somsip, well, this is the problem I have01:11
fyremeis nautilus a command prompt or gui utility?01:11
Jordan_Ufyreme: It should be one of the filesystems listed in the left column in nautilus. Just click it.01:11
grobda24Was thinking of installing latest Ubuntu (which had netbook absorbed into it)01:11
grobda24and then configuring from there to make it appropriate for the EeePC 70101:12
Jordan_Ufyreme: Nautilus is  the name of Ubuntu's default GUI file browser.01:12
somsipgrobda24: I found the eeeUser forums helpful when I looked at this: http://forum.eeeuser.com/ but currently under maintencance01:12
Rexterubluntu: that's the mode I'm looking for 1024x768, can i type it in the same syntax as you did?01:12
ubluntuRexter: you can also do a xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768 that should do it immediatly01:13
NastyNazomg for all those that wanted to turn screensaver off in tty: sudo setterm -blank 001:13
Rexterubluntu: "Cannot find mode 1024X768"01:14
fyremejordan_U thank you01:15
ubluntuRexter: use that command from before then to add it01:16
Rexterubluntu: I will point out that it does not recognize the monitor. I sees it as unknown. i don't know if that matters.01:16

Rexterubluntu: "xrandr: cannot find mode "1024X768_60.00"01:18
Rexterubluntu: sorry, I might be confused. Which command are we on?01:19
Rexterubluntu: I got the same error on both.01:20
ubluntuRexter: well did you run the cvt command and then use that for the xrandr --newmode command ?01:20
Jordan_Ufyreme: You're welcome.01:20
Rexterubluntu: I got all mixed up, sorry, go slow. cvt 1024 768, and then what command?01:21
fyremei i would have sworn my friend said he had quick books on this machine01:21
fyremefinding everything but01:22
ubluntuRexter: so everything after ModeLine from the cvt command goes in xrandr --newmode "stuff from cvt command"01:22
Rexterubluntu: with quotes?01:23
ubluntuRexter: so like xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00"   63.50  1024 1072 1176 1328  768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync01:23
Rexterubluntu: got it, then next?01:23
ubluntuRexter: xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.0001:24

BarkingFishmy system says it's referred to by another package though, so the chances are it's either been obsoleted and not removed, or it's missing from the pools01:29

monica_somsip ....where is it?02:00
somsipmonica_: there isn't one as standard02:01
Chipzzzmonica_: the xserver is being set by KMS automatically, but if you write an xorg.conf it will become the configuration02:01
debsanmonica_, xorg doesn't need a xorg.conf anymore02:01
monica_if a configuration is not there why my graphic card works? I don't understand sorry02:01
somsipmonica_: xorg now uses something (clever mode, or guaranteed mode) where most of the time a conf is not required02:02
monica_thanks debsan02:02
monica_so if I need to configure xorg I have to create a xorg.conf file before?02:03

zykotick9!ppa | docwhat02:36
ubottudocwhat: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa02:36
docwhatIn 10.04 it's version 1.1 -- the latest is 1.5.1 I think, somsip.02:37
Tunebye, good night and thanks again! :)02:37
somsipdocwhat: then you don't want to install the latest package. You want to install from PPA or source?02:38
diverdudehello.i have huge problems...fro some reason i cannot startup my ubuntu system. when i startit up it shows the load screen and then it shuts down again. i can start it in safe mode and get a terminal..how can i solve this problem?02:38
docwhatsomsip: I want the latest tmux, regardless of what is available in 10.04.02:39
docwhatI could compile it from source, but I'd rather it be auto-updated like everything else.02:39
zykotick9!latest | docwhat02:39
ubottudocwhat: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.02:39
docwhatzykotick9: Oh, sure.  But tmux isn't a system critical item. It's a user-sanity-critical item. ;-)02:40
somsipdocwhat: I cannot find a PPa for tmux. So you either stay with what is available for 10.04, upgrade from 10.04 to a more recent version, or instal from source02:40
pwasek is there a way to get upnp to commuinate with different networks on the same network?02:40
somsipdocwhat: or find a PPA for tmux...02:41
zykotick9docwhat: does tmux have any advantages over screen?02:41
docwhatsomsip: Okay, thanks.  You determined that via the +ppas url above?02:41
somsipdocwhat: from searching02:41
docwhatzykotick9: It depends on who you ask, but I love it.02:41
somsipzykotick9: http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/Screen_vs_tmux02:41
docwhattmux is scriptable from a shell script, which screen isn't.02:41
zykotick9somsip: thanks02:41
somsipzykotick9: looking at this myself yesterday....02:42
docwhatIt has a new architecture and code base. If you ever looked at screen's code....*shudder*.  But people are working on making screen better too...but lots of cruft to remove.02:42

Troy_really lol is it a blue tooth mouse?05:31
dweesIt's a wireless mouse, has a USB attachment that transmits some sort of signal to the mouse, not bluetooth05:32
jacerThat's probably RF.  Especially if it's a logitech.05:32
Troy_dwees: have you tried new batteries and a restart? and you said you trid a corded mouse?05:32
Troy_jacer: everything that is wireless is RF05:33
dweesyeah, I've tried those05:33
dweesthe mouse worked like 3 hours ago in Ubuntu 11.04, and doesn't work now on the same machine with 11.10 installed05:33
Troy_does your corded mouse work when you plug it in?05:34
dweesI'm using it now on a different laptop05:34
Troy_oh hmm05:34
dweesSo I know the corded mouse works fine05:35
Troy_but does a wired mouse work when you plug it in, no does it work on the comp you are having mouse prolems with05:35
dweesI'd be happy switching to a corded mouse on the desktop computer, if that's what it would take05:35
Troy_no just trying to determine the issue thats all05:35
dweesthe wired mouse works on this computer, but does not work on the other computer, even after a reboot05:35
dweesso something strange there05:35

Troy_dwees: that was in the dmesg?05:42
dweessame message as before when i did the scan05:42
dweesthat was the very last line in the message05:42
Troy_sneauxwolf: nmap only looks for open ports on a ip address05:43
dweesthe message before that was USB disconnect, device number 2, which is probably from the last time I disconnected the mouse before05:43
sneauxwolfrumpe1, so what is nmap used for? just finding open ports...for hacking? or can I just scan my system and find what's open and close it?05:43
sneauxwolfI just want to stay out of trouble05:44
rumpe1sneauxwolf, if you use it on machines owned by yourself and in your own network (lan), you won't get trouble.05:44
Troy_rumpe1: its not illegeal to scan ports05:44
Troy_dwees: /proc/bus/usb/devices05:45
rumpe1Troy_, didn't say illegal... but some admins really don't like port scanners.05:45
sneauxwolftroy: just illegal if you use that info for other means right?05:45
dweesno such file or directory05:45
Doodiehi, my laptops fans is spinning at higher speed (making much noise than in windows). Why could that be?05:45
rumpe1sneauxwolf, why not use a netstat instead of checking the ports externally?05:45

jeniai mean kile05:48
jeniaand i read in the comments that its better to use a ppa05:48
petsounds /quit05:48
petsoundsoops05:48
jeniai added that ppa to my list of ppa, but i dont know how to use it.05:48
Troy_dwees: im out of options i'm fairly new to this whole thing as well but you could try #Linux and ask in there.. it seems something like a kernel/x server issue05:48
sneauxwolfrumpe1: ok thanks I'll try that, but should I keep nmap around, I mean does it prove useful for anything?05:48
jeniaso is it that case that when i install kile, the installation program will some what files to get from the ppa?05:49
jeniaor do i need to somehow install the ppa kile version specifically05:49
jenia?05:49
dweesokay, thank you troy05:49
dweeswierd that it worked in  11.0405:49
dweesmaybe I'll just wipe 11.10, and try re-installing 11.04?05:50
jeniaprogram will somehow* know* what file to get from the ppa05:50
Ben64jenia: when you add a ppa, it will use it for the program. Just install from synaptic or Software Center05:50

wickedwiccanI just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and tried to install ati's video drivers but after downloading and installing them jockey flashed that the driver failed to install05:50
jeniaokay thanks ben and troy05:51
Troy_jenia: in term if you have already added ppa: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade05:51
Ben64wickedwiccan: you should use the Hardware Drivers interface to get proprietary drivers05:51
Troy_then jenia sudo apt-get install Kile05:51
wickedwiccanBen64, I did it flashed there are drivers for your system i clicked it and told it to install and it gave me an error.  Mint done the same thing, odd thing though is the drivers do install and function its just jockey keeps saying they are not activated05:52
Ben64wickedwiccan: what error05:53
rumpe1sneauxwolf, sure it's useful for certain purposes. nmap is for remote machines, netstat is locally.05:53
jeniathanks troy ;)05:53
ernie99hey, anyone have experience with iScsi?05:53
sneauxwolfrumpe1: ok so if I want to probe my other windows machine on the same network I can use nmap for that?05:54
Troy_yes sneauxwolf05:54
Ben64nmap is good locally as well05:54
rumpe1sneauxwolf, yes05:54
sneauxwolftroy: rumpe1: thanks at least I have a better understanding of what nmap is and what I can use it for without getting in some kind of trouble05:56
Ben64sneauxwolf: its really hard to get in trouble from using nmap05:57
Troy_sneauxwolf: honestly you won't..05:58
Ben64you'd have to scan something like fbi.gov every 5 minutes05:58
rumpe1sneauxwolf, nmap works more indirectly, so it doesn't need direct access to the targeted machine. You can of course use it also locally targeting "localhost".05:58
Troy_Ben64: fbi.gov lmfao05:58
sneauxwolfBen64: Troy: Ok, thanks he just wouldn't really tell me much, and the online documentation doesn't really specify how you could get in trouble either05:59
rumpe1sneauxwolf, you just have to know that many people usually don't like getting probed by some stranger over the net. It's often used to find weak spots on a system.05:59
Troy_fbi.gov shouldn't get you in trouble either.. government would never put any classified stuff anywhere near the internet/outside world other then a WAN06:00
sneauxwolfrumpe1: you could use it for other purposes then, like find an open port on someone else's machine and gain access?06:00
Troy_sneauxwolf: well you wouldnt gain access with with the application06:00
Ben64its still their fault if there is a security hole06:00
rumpe1sneauxwolf, well... something like that.06:00
sneauxwolfOk thanks guys that really helps so now I have an idea of what I can do with it, and what not to do06:01
sneauxwolfI'm off to test netstat, and nmap06:01

wwwdHey all! I am trying to find a good backup stratagy. I looked at simple back and read Ubutnu documentation: BackupYourSystem. Simple back seems to have alot of bugs and BackupYourSystem says it is incomplete. Any suggestions? Or can I just schedule a rsync of the files I want backed up and call it good?08:51
aBoundpnorman, I'd prefer the open source alternative in many situations. But than again we all still live in a proprietary world.08:51
Seveaswwwd, rsync's my favourite for simple one. bacula for more complex backup strategies.08:52
tensorpuddingwwwd, using deja-dup is my strategy08:52

NetRunnerBlack_Okay, guys, I hope that this isn't just me. I'm having some weird issues installing Adobe Flash as a plugin for FireFox. I've tried the YUM and the tar.gz set up, I skipped RPM because I'm pretty sure that Unity doesn't use those? Maybe that's my error. I've gotten to the readme (kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15380.html) and after following the directions step by step I've not gotten any results. at all.08:54
NetRunnerBlack_I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 with pretty much stock features, I'm just now starting over08:54

tensorpuddingwwwd, deja-dup makes sense for workstations because it allows you to do regular incremental remote backups easily08:56
aBoundNetRunnerBlack_, Ubuntu doesn't support the package RPM that's a Red Hat package manager.08:56
NetRunnerBlack_That's what I thought aBound, that's why I didn't bother trying to use that package and just stuck to YUM and tar.gz08:56
Ben64NetRunnerBlack_: yum is for rpm though08:57
ikoniayum installss rpm08:57
ikoniayum isn't on ubuntu08:57
aBoundNetRunnerBlack_, YUM is a yellow dog package manager yet red hat also tends to use it.08:57
NetRunnerBlack_YUM was the one I hadn't heard of. Still, the tar.gz option hasn't worked either08:57
Ben64NetRunnerBlack_: adobe flash plugin is in synaptic08:57
aBoundNetRunnerBlack_, Can't just install it from the Software Center?08:58
pnormanSeveas: How do you find bacula? Does it require a DE?08:58
ikoniaNetRunnerBlack_: what do you want to install ?08:58
NecrosporusWhy there is graphical boot splash? It doesn't add anything useful, but makes it harder to see what's going on when the system is loading, so it's mostly rather harmful than useful08:59

Seveaspnorman, bacula is annoying. Like all other backup software :) It doesn't require a DE on the machines you want to back up, but one on the machine where you want to admin it from is helpful.09:00
ikoniaNecrosporus: don't be smart, most users don't find reading logs pretty,09:00
dr_willisso disable it...09:00
aBoundThe boot splash is there to hide the internal mechanics of the kernel.09:00
ikoniaNecrosporus: ubuntu is catering to the mass end user and the mass end user wants a pretty visual experience.09:01
NetRunnerBlack_I hadn't tried Software Center09:01
aBoundTo new users hiding the internal mechanics is a good thing. To experienced users it makes more sense to see it.09:01
ikoniaNetRunnerBlack_: trying the ubuntu package manager should be the first place you go to install softrware09:01
Ben64NetRunnerBlack_: thats where you should install 99.9% of your software09:01
tensorpuddingNetRunnerBlack_, you should, it's should be your first stop for software09:01
NetRunnerBlack_That worked like a charm. Thanks guys.09:01

aBoundNecrosporus, I understand your point of view and it does seem valid. But it varies from person to person.09:08

RobbieCrashI've never had boot problems on an install. I'd rather have the clean experience right from the start. It's the point of view of most people. Most people want things to 'just work' and not need to do anything to get them there. Reminding them they're using something they don't understand is poor UX. You don't want your users to not like using your product, and reminding them that they don't09:24

cigueHey guys, on my Asus Eee T101MT running 10.04 LTS the wireless says it's connected but I can't ping the router or resolve google.com. Googling shows this also happens on 11.10. Wireless card is Atheros AR9285, supposedly supported by my kernel. Help?09:50
aBoundNecrosporus, The longer something gets coded the better support and the better the stability overtime unless the coders are lazy on fixing bugs and just adding new features.09:51
icerootcigue: you cant also ping "8.8.8.8"?09:51
icerootcigue: ping -c 4 8.8.8.809:51
aBoundNecrosporus, I bet it's hard to manage the Linux kernel so much code is written for it.09:51
Necrosporuscigue, show output of ifconfig -a and /etc/resolv.conf on pastebin.com or other such site09:51
cigueiceroot: It works fine09:51
Necrosporuscigue, than you may want to add it to your resolv conf09:52
cigueNecrosporus: 1 sec, pastebinning09:52
icerootcigue: then your "nameserver" is not set09:52
Necrosporuscigue, try adding "nameserver 8.8.8.8" into /etc/resolv.conf09:52
aBoundNecrosporus, Better to move to the newer Ubuntu when it comes out given it's LTS and will be for 5 years max. So you can expect good things. :P09:53

ubottubal: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)10:20

How do i get on the internet now to get my network manager back?11:53
A_J0/j #kubuntu11:54
A_Jokie LjL thanks11:54
theadminGods_Father: Even tho dhclient is removed, you might still have dhcpcd installed?11:55
A_Jtheadmin: \o/11:55
Gods_Fathertheadmin: I dont think so. Just tried.11:56
ahhughes_dr_willis, would chaning the run level of mediatomb?11:56
theadminGods_Father: I see... Hm, well, probably the only real way is to grab the packages you need using another computer or a livecd11:56
dr_willisahhughes_: ubuntu dosent really use runlevels11:56
samratis anyone else having battery issues with Oneric Ocelot in Lenovo Thinkpads??11:56
dr_willis!upstart11:56
ubottuUpstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/11:56
Gods_Fathertheadmin: ok. well i tried that but seems like there are so many dependencied that the installation fails. Do you know weather there is some full package?11:57
samratsomeone know how I can get a longer battery life with 11.10?11:57
theadminGods_Father: I, uh... well, you might want to chroot into your broken install from a livecd then. I dunno how to get all the dependencies11:58
abhinavmehtaif I'm having both boot loader installed eg. LILO & GRUB, and I want to know, which boot loader I'm using…how to find ?11:59
abhinavmehta..its a os-instance running at some cloud-provider..so how to find this..?12:00
Gods_Fathertheadmin: ok. then i'll need to tr this. but just tell me a last thing, how exactly to i chroot into it? Ive never heard of chroot. Thanks12:00
theadminGods_Father: Mount the drive and "sudo chroot /path/to/your/mountpoint"12:01
A_Jtheadmin: can you help me switch users on xfce http://i.lulzimg.com/3684a46623.png12:01

abhinavmehtaanyone, who can guide me with boot-loader answer..?12:01
theadminA_J: ...?12:02
A_Jtheadmin: can you help me switch users on xfce http://i.lulzimg.com/3684a46623.png12:02
dr_willisabhinavmehta:  which one are you wanting to use?12:02
theadminA_J: That image doesn't tell me anything at all... What do you want of me anyway12:02
prantikhi12:02
bullgard4abhinavmehta: Please read http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html12:02
A_Jtheadmin: i want to switch user profiles.12:02
abhinavmehtadr_willis: I'm writing a script…which should find whatever boot-loader is active on the os12:03
theadminA_J: Uh, you need to log out and log back in?12:03
theadminA_J: With another user, that is12:03
dr_willisabhinavmehta:  no idea on that.. i would think it very rare for a system to be using LILO these days.12:03
A_Jtheadmin: umm, is there no other way. i need to be online on both profiles. Genome had a switch user feature12:04
dr_willisabhinavmehta:  theres also Grub1 , grub2, and even syslinux :) that could be used.12:04
theadminA_J: Depends on your display manager, nothing to do with XFCE...12:04
abhinavmehtaits a cloud-provisioning script…so I can have any of them…or both of them installed, but using some one of them…so checking the path for both won't be a good idea, I guess.12:04
A_Jtheadmin: any idea how i can set it up.12:04
eirikhmI'm getting a "Size mismatch" when trying to install Hudson via APT, and I'm not having any luck reaching those guys. Is there any way to simply disregard that?12:05
theadminA_J: Not really, I don't do crazy things like that.12:05
A_Jlol it's not crazy theadmin.12:05
theadmineirikhm: Um, no, you can't install a broken package honestly. However, try clearing the apt cache (sudo apt-get clean) and reinstalling it again, the download might just be corrupted12:05
abhinavmehtayes, I know…in that situation I'll fail with error.12:05
eirikhmtheadmin: been there, done that.12:06
abhinavmehtabut I want to support at least the grub1, grub2, and lilo12:06
eirikhmI think it's just the reported size that is wrong (608MB vs downloaded 60.8MB)12:06
theadmineirikhm: Ah, I see... Meh, maybe apt-get does have a --force option or something, but I don't know if it does or if that will help12:08
abhinavmehtaguys..isn't there some os-config file where info about active boot-loader is stored..?12:08
dr_willisabhinavmehta:  not that ive ever noticed.12:08
dr_willisabhinavmehta:  you could be booting a redhat system from a ubuntu managed bootloader also.. or other weirdness12:09
k3Rndo i really have to start qemu using `sudo` when using TAP / bridged networking? i can't get around permission problems...12:09
abhinavmehtayes..thats true…but there should be some config-file or something…from where the os takes this information..right..?12:10
theadminabhinavmehta: The OS doesn't deal with the bootloader at all. It's quite the exact opposite.12:10
ahhughes_dr_willis, other option I have is to add a sleep to the init.d script, is the command sleep 15 (to get a 15second sleep)?12:10
dr_willisahhughes_:  that could work. but the upstart scripts SHOULD have settings to wait for networking tobe up.12:11
ahhughes_agreed dr_willis - chances of me stuffing them up are high12:11
eirikhmtheadmin: --force-yes does not do the trick either. Guess I'll do it manually then. Thanks :)12:11
theadmineirikhm: No point in thanking someone who did not help12:11
=== Youri is now known as Iruoy
=== marcio is now known as Guest47699
abhinavmehtatheadmin: you have a valid point…but than how it is loaded into the memory…? what if both boot loaders are installed…than which will be used…who will decide this..?12:12
dr_willisahhughes_:  from what i recall of upstartt scripts its just like a  'requires (networking)' or similer line.12:12
dr_willisahhughes_:  if its even using an actual upstart script.12:12
theadminabhinavmehta: The one which is in MBR will be loaded, that's all.12:12
ahhughes_dr_willis, there is also a disclaimer that scripts have not gone final.12:12
dr_willisabhinavmehta:  if both are installed, (which im not sure is possible) then either one could be the actual bootloader.12:12
=== Guest47699 is now known as Marcio
abhinavmehtatheadmin: so you mean…I should read the starting addresses of my disk…to find boot loader info..?12:12
taurus86Hi everybody12:12
abhinavmehtatheadmin: just trying to make myself clear..?12:13
wookienzhypothetically, if i had two nics on different sunets and ISPs, how would i tell one program to use one nic and noth the other?12:13
dr_willisabhinavmehta:  dare we ask what your script is doing that it needs to mess with a systems bootloader?12:13
=== Marcio is now known as Guest11947
theadminabhinavmehta: Uh, I'd rather check which bootloader is installed package-wise. I doubt installing two of them is even possible.12:13
abhinavmehtatheadmin: its possible…I did on this my VM-instance.12:14
abhinavmehtathats how I came into this situation.12:14
ahhughes_dr_willis, sleep 15 works.. that'll do me :)12:14
dr_willisahhughes_:  unless your networking is slow to respond. :P12:14
theadminabhinavmehta: Hm, okay, well this is a mess...12:14
taurus86can anybody advise me please on how to install LAMP on ubuntu?12:14
theadminabhinavmehta: I don't think the OS provides any way to find out what bootloader is stored in MBR, sorry.12:15

c0rnelhow can i install all packages pulled in by a metapackage except a big one i don't need?13:42
icerootc0rnel: i would suggest to set the big package on "hold"13:43
c0rneliceroot, how can i do that13:43
icerootc0rnel: man dpkg   there should be a section about hold13:43
apoldoes anybody here know if I can get in touch with the Ubuntu Software Center development team?13:44
c0rneliceroot, thank you very much13:44
icerootc0rnel: may i ask what metapackage you mean?13:44
Piciapol: #ubuntu-app-devel or #ubuntu-devel, but keep in mind that the latter is a working channel, not a support channel.13:44
c0rneliceroot, it's a custom metapackage, not present in the repos13:44
icerootc0rnel: ok13:45
apolPici: noted, thanks!13:45
c0rnelthank you13:45
icerootc0rnel: you could also patch the metapackage so you dont have "hold-packages" but i guess the hold-method is much easier13:45
icerootc0rnel: also you can just install the metapackage and then remove the packages you dont want13:46
icerootc0rnel: but reinstalling the metapackage (e.g. update) will pull the dependencies again13:46
c0rneliceroot, i'm trying to avoid wasting resources on that big package i don't use anyway :)13:46
oldude67c0rnel, i think there is a way you can set it to never update too...i think its in them pages as well.13:47

monica_ok... so in the default I have no xorg options?13:53
monica_I think some default option must be there13:53

Akenathoni dont speak italian check ur bot lol14:06
Negat1ve-Zer0s supposed to be doing14:06
Akenathonthanks for italian channel...just added14:07
Negat1ve-Zer0like dunno what @echo $(SHELL) is14:07
TermNLAs far as I know it is used to access variables. when I run them commandline (on my /bin/bash shell) I get some excpected output14:07
Negat1ve-Zer0for example if you want your shell you can just do echo $SHELL14:08
TermNL$SHELL is a system variable, which, in a makefile canbe aaccessed through $(SHELL)14:08
TermNLI'm not too14:08
TermNL"good" with makefiles either14:08
Negat1ve-Zer0TermNL: if you do #!/bin/bash at the beginning of that file...it's going to execute it with bash shell and bash doesn't recognize @echo $(SHELL) as a command14:09
Negat1ve-Zer0when you run it what do you do, make Makefile?14:10
TermNLI suspect it's not actuially executed as a shell script14:10
TermNLi do: make testshell14:10
Negat1ve-Zer0yea, I'm thinking that too...so #!/bin/bash at line 1 is prob not what you want14:10

ubottu#ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!14:10
Negat1ve-Zer0yea...so make is interpreting it14:10
TermNLdefault aergumentless make implicitly calls "make all" afaik14:10
Negat1ve-Zer0I'd do a search for learning more about make and how to make a good makefile...bash is not what I'm assuming you want14:11
Negat1ve-Zer0and take #!/bin/bash off line 114:11
TermNLyes, well i was trying to isolate the issue in a checked out makefile:)14:12
TermNLon another machine make is run in bash it seems (running the pasrted script)14:12

kimbraahow i can mount blanck dvd on ubunutu 11.04, case i'm trying tou mount /dev/scd0 ithout succes15:52
kimbraa11.10*15:52
ActionParsnipkimbraa: why would you mount it?15:52
kimbraaActionParsnip: for growfsiso use15:52
who_mekimbraa, a blank dvd contains no filesystems, thus it cannot be mounted15:53

kimbraaso what device is responsible for dvd in my pavilion dv515:53
kimbraa/dev/scd0 ?15:53
ts2sskalnik: hard to say, encodings are strange things. in some, ASCII characters are left as-is, but other characters are multi-byte15:53
llutzkimbraa: /dev/sr0   but as mneptok stated, you don't mount empty dvd15:53
sskalnikts2:  Yeah, but why would the encoding change in the middle of a function definition? It seems like something else is afoot.15:54

ts2sskalnik: it wouldn't change, but some character that can't be represented in ASCII was inserted. but check if the data is somehow corrupted, if you can15:55
ActionParsnipsnarkster: if you unload the sound module, does it work ok?15:56

tlfllutz, bash: /home/fig/bin/ls: cannot execute binary file16:45
tlf Thats what gets returned without sudo16:45
llutztlf: "file ~/bin/ls"16:45
ts2arooni-mobile: that looks like it's supposed to be the router's IP (or at least it's on the internal network)16:45
ActionParsniptlf: what is the output of:  echo $PATH16:45
llutztlf: "/bin/ls -ld ~/bin"16:45
arooni-mobilets2, i dont recall putting that address in resolv.conf; and its not in the /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf either16:46
fzapptlf, try '/bin/ls -ld ~/bin'16:46
arooni-mobilets2, should i get rid of it?16:46
oomjosit is #! its not !#16:46
ts2arooni-mobile: it comes from the router16:46
arooni-mobilets2, so i basically am saying; use opendns first, but if you cant, use the router16:46
rhomguys I need help in making my banshee plugin work!16:46
arooni-mobilets2, what about dns name caching locally to speed browsing?  is that helpful (i'm travelling through developing countries) and want to speed up browsing.16:47
tlffzapp, drwxr-xr-x 2 fig root 4096 2010-10-26 07:52 /home/fig/bin16:47
tlfThats whats returned16:47
arooni-mobileand if so; what would i need to do make that work16:47
ts2arooni-mobile: if you're editing /etc/resolv.conf, yes. but you told DHCP to ignore the DNS servers from the network and only use OpenDNS from now on (by editing the dhclient.conf file)16:47
llutztlf: nothing wrong with it, since you probably have something like checking for ~/bin and  PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" in you .profile. you just shouldn't have files in there, with the same name as important systemfiles16:48
ts2arooni-mobile: DNS results are usually cached anyway16:48
arooni-mobilets2, but does caching locally (before itting network) help at all? or not raelly16:48
llutzyour*16:48
ts2arooni-mobile: I mean by default, there is a system DNS cache built-in16:48
tlfllutz, I'm just confused as to where this got messed up. Because its coming up automatically when I'm starting terminal and now I'm having issues working with simple scripts16:48
arooni-mobilets2, ok16:49
llutztlf: can you pastebin output of "/bin/ls -l ~/bin" pls. or check if there are more files in ~/bin named as important systemfiles16:50
fzapptlf, do you have your own 'bin' directory in your home directory, or it's an error ?16:50

plustaxMonkeyDust, I thought they fixed the grub issue17:45
newtothisplustax, if I make a partition with gparted then will it mess up the grub?17:46
llutzTheWarden: /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh  maybe some other scripts in /etc/init17:46
xubuntu5how does rc.local work?17:46
diverdudewhat does "cp: cannot stat" mean?17:46
tj2epod: Yeah, as far as I know only SBKv2 was the updated version that prevented nvflash from working correctly17:46
theadmindiverdude: It means it can't find some file17:46
Skummelnewtothis problem with installing windows is that it will install it's own mbr.17:46
xubuntu5if i put a script in etc/init.d/ will that load automatically before login?17:46
tj2epod: Sorry, I meant to say only SBKv1 could use nvflash17:46
ts2xubuntu5: no17:47
Skummelnewtothis so you have to reinstall grub after installing windows, you can do it from a live cd.17:47
epodtj2: bother.  Well, i can chroot I suppose.17:47
theadminxubuntu5: Not exactly, you have to write a script in a specific style and make sure it's added to proper rc dirs17:47

ts2xubuntu5: well to mount stuff, use /etc/fstab, that's what it's there for. as for x11vnc, you want to start that _after_ you login, otherwise I doubt it'll work17:48
xubuntu5there's no way to start x11vnc before login?17:48

theadminfourlastor: Or, use the minimal install CD17:49
theadmin!minimal | fourlastor17:49
ubottufourlastor: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD17:49

alien2050xubuntu5: yep... but it may be a security breach on your server if you do18:20
oCeanoomjos: your shell script should start with the shebang line (#!/bin/bash) in that case you can execute the script by running  ./path/to/script.sh, or even better add the script to one of the directories in your PATH variable  (echo $PATH), in that case you can run script.sh without specifying the full path18:20

bjweihe`Did you setup persistance18:35
titanesI mad as heaven!!18:35
theadmintitanes: It's a LIVEUSB. The filesystem changes don't get saved. It's not persistent. If you want stuff to be saved, you need to do a real install. Also, what on earth is "FAUX"?18:35
reisiostop saying FAUX18:35

titanesbjweihe`: how to turn on persistance??18:36

reisiotitanes: if you use unetbootin, it's fairly obvious18:37
titanesbjweihe`: I used dd18:37
theadmintitanes: You should do a real install. It won't work with a livefs.18:37
reisiodd would not be the most suitable tool for that18:37

titaneswill there ever be a time when LiveUSB are flash optimized? Meaning designed from scratch for flash storage?18:40
theadmintitanes: No, no, and no. Do you have any WORKING OS currently that boots? You can use VirtualBox to load the Ubuntu iso image and install to real device (your USB stick)18:40
bjweihe`Yea but putting an OS on any external drive that isn't meant for such things will deteriorate their speed and life time18:40
titanesI have no OS working.18:40

visual1cei just got a usb drive and i'm getting rid of my windows pc. i want to use the usb drive as backup for my ubuntu laptop and media storage. what fs should i use? i'd like to be able to connect it my windows pc first to get all the data i need so i guess windows will need to be able to read the drive but if there is a better option in terms of performance or security i guess i can boot from a live cd21:49
beankasii type dmesg21:49
visual1ceits a 3tb drive - not sure if that limits my options21:50
wildwindkasii: or use System / Administration / Logs viewer from GUI21:50
reisiovisual1ce: not necessarily, you could boot your Windows box from the Ubuntu live OS and copy the files over21:51
reisiovisual1ce: the real question is if you want to be able to use the drive with _random_ Windows installs21:51
reisioas in take it over to a friend's house on a whim21:51
visual1cei have vista running via vbox but couldn't i just share the drive through vbox? will the format of the fs matter?21:52
kasiibean, wait am open the paste bin so that am sending u the link21:52
reisiothere are ext drivers for Windows you see, but you wouldn't want to constantly be installing them if you connect it to many different random Windows installs, you'd want to use NTFS in that case21:52
reisiovisual1ce: to a vbox guest no it won't matter21:52
visual1ceso which do you recommend?21:52
reisiowhat the host sees the guest can see21:52
VIPER-IIThanks allot for your time go876521:52
reisiovisual1ce: as I said, if you want to be able to connect and use this external USB drive with _random Windows installs_ you'll want NTFS21:53
wildwindvisual1ce: using usb drive for backups is bad idea IMO. they gonna die someday21:53
beanvisual1ce: I'd recommend NTFS if you want to ever be able to use from windows.21:53
kasiiwildwind, repeat again  i didnt get u21:53
reisiovisual1ce: otherwise I'd go with ext21:53
reisiowildwind: it's not a flash drive21:53

ikonia!virtualization | ubluntu22:02
ubottuubluntu: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu.  See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications22:02
yumboubluntu, virualization software: for example vmware or virtualbox22:02
reisioubluntu: VirtualBox is the "simplest", kvm is the best (assuming egrep 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo returns something)22:03

visual1cefor ntfs or ext?22:03
reisiovisual1ce: it's probably already NTFS22:03
ikoniavisual1ce: yes, you need to use gpt partition table22:03
ubluntuthink i'll give virtualbox a shot22:03
wildwindkasii: you should read the logs. probably you'll find cause of your problem there22:03

leontopoduhm, I am using unetbootin to download kubuntu and install the iso on a usb drive so I can install it on my netbook22:04

leontopodshould I choose a "live" distro?22:04

yumboBenkinooby, why not upgrade to 11.10 ?22:24
dr_willisHopefully there will be some major work on the power ussage in the next release.22:25
yumbodr_willis, yeah, its considerably worse than win 722:25
Benkinoobyyumbo, 10.04 is LTS, i did a lot of tweaks and currently i have not the time to fiddle with setting up a new ubuntu :(22:26
Benkinoobydr_willis, are you refering to my problem?22:27
yumboBenkinooby, although I would't recommend it, you could try to force-install a new version of upower22:27
dr_willisBenkinooby:  theres been all sorts of power issues in the last 2 releases. some are due to kernel issues.22:27
craigbass1976I've got a job stuck in cups.  How hard is it to transfer it to pdf instead of a printer once it's already in queue?22:27
[deXter]Apparently 3.2 kernel has some power usage fixes22:27
Seveascraigbass1976, basically impossible.22:28
yumboBenkinooby, for example from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/upower22:28
Benkinoobydr_willis, that's what i read too so far... that the kernel is spamming messages e.g.22:28
Benkinoobyyumbo, i also saw people reporting that problem on oneiric22:28
craigbass1976Seveas, phaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAA!  Thanks though.22:29
Benkinoobydr_willis, do you know how to see "how much" reporting the kernel does?22:29
Benkinoobyi can't see anything in dmesg22:29
dr_willisBenkinooby:  not really looked into it much  the /etc/sysctl.conf has some settings on level of messages22:31
dr_willisBenkinooby:  ive tweakdd that file to reduce the # of spammy messages i get on theconsoles/dmesg output22:31
yumbodr_willis, just curious, whats your "uptime" ?22:32
Benkinoobydr_willis, fun fact: when the laptop is connected to power, upowerd is calm... only when on battery, upowerd starts to consume so much CPU22:33
yumboBenkinooby, I would really give the oneiric version of upower a try22:35
dewwit's weird that i only see this issue in nautilus with subdirs within a particular directory.22:35

[Ex0r]hmm, is there a wubi installer for 10.04 ?22:43
xubuntu5i believe so22:43
dyd__!ics22:43
ubottuIf you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing22:43
[Ex0r]the wubi installer I got from ubuntu.com only installs 11.10, but i'm looking for 10.0422:44
yumbo[Ex0r], any specific reason you're looking for 10.04 ?22:44
heinzxubuntu5: change it in your windowmanager22:44
xubuntu5thanks heinz i'll look into it22:45
[Ex0r]yumbo- Android development, the android sdk has the most compatability with 10.0422:45
fogobogoyumbo: its LTS. and still has all the old stuff22:45
[Ex0r]I suppose i could just download the 10.04 iso and install in vm, but if there was something like wubi that would let me run it alongside windows without vm it would be cool22:46
sammyi know there's an offtopic, and a beta/alpha/whatever ubuntu+1 channel, but what about an advanced topics channel?22:46
yumbo[Ex0r], wubi doesnt let it run alongside windows simultaneously22:46
[Ex0r]What does it do, just install it to the bootloader for you and let you choose when you boot up?22:46
yumbo[Ex0r], it just install ubuntu to a windows ntfs partition and adds a bootloader to windows MBR22:46
[Ex0r]yumbo- So than the same thing that installing from the cd does22:47
[Ex0r]or can do*22:47
yumbobut with lower performance (ntfs < ext4)22:47
yumbo[Ex0r], if youre only using it for development, just run ubuntu in a vm in windows22:47
[Ex0r]So than it's just best to vm it and install iso22:47
[Ex0r]yumbo- yeah, that's what im going to do. the sdk for android was built specifically for 10.04 so it works natively with it, no having to change stuff22:48
lakeare there any linux alternatives to the Mac/Windows audio sequencer called "Reason"22:48

leontopodok, so I got roped into a deal where I fixed this woman's computer that had Windows Vista on it... it was so infested with viruses and spyware I gave up on it (no CD or DVD so I can't reinstall from scratch)  So I installed the latest Ubuntu and it works like a charm22:49
yumbohitman, #ubuntu-fr I think22:49
leontopodBUT, I just got a message from her saying "will this thing work with my wifi printer? I have a CD"22:49
leontopodI don't think that CD is going to work, cause it is meant for Windows22:49

Benkinoobydr_willis, yumbo thank you two for your input... i will go to bed and look at the problem an other time again22:50
leontopodyumbo, if I google the printer model, is there any way that I can get wifi printer working with ubuntu, if it is the right model?22:52
yumboleontopod, there is a chance22:52
yumboleontopod, you have the model?22:54
=== lili is now known as oolala
Benkinoobyleontopod, i'd see as two different problems. 1) the wireless connection 2) the communication pc<->printer i don't think that wireless will be much different from wired network... the main challange is to find out if the printer support linux22:55
webPragmatistI have a drive (sdb1) that was mounted to /var but now is no longer mounted but all the applications I guess created /var on sda1 is there a good way to copy the junk from sda1 to sdb1 and switch the mount path?22:55

hatebI just made new partition for ubuntu and I can't see it from windows, why is that ?22:57
dr_willishateb:  because windows cant read ext2/3/4 or other linxu fs by default22:58

Benkinoobyfellayaboy, 2nd hit23:15
yumbodiverdude: "sudo rm -R /home/user_name"23:15
yumbodiverdude, only do this if you are sure you want to delete ALL files in /home/user_name23:16
diverdudeyumbo: that will not delete the user...only his homedir23:16

WookstaHi all, I've been having problems with Ubuntu 11.x where my system wont shutdown when I go to reboot or shutdown, it just goes to the login screen, any pointers on how to fix this?23:24
dr_willisubluntu:  you can configure vbox where the vm appears on the same local lan, not its own private network also.23:24
Wookstanote that command-line reboot or ctrl+alt+1 and then ctrl+alt+del reboot the system just fine23:24
ubluntudr_willis: yes how to do that escapes me though been looking @ the options23:24
dr_willisWooksta:  does it shutdown from the login screen?23:24
Wookstadr_willis, no it just seems to sit there :S23:25
dr_willisubluntu:  network config settings in the vbox stuff. check the vbox manual. I think theres 3 settings.  try one, see whatip it gets..  try others. :)23:25
dr_willisWooksta:  next step would be to try  the shutdown command perhaps.23:25
ubluntudr_willis: im using nat now, shall I use bridged mode ?23:26
Wookstadr_willis, that works, but I would like to fix the issue so i can shutdown via the GUI23:26
dr_willisubluntu:  try it and see. i forget what one does what.. the vbox docs gives details.23:27

rhizmoedoes anybody know of a diagram of sound on linux that illustrates the relationship between the os, hardware, alsa, jack, etc.?23:28
xubuntu5how exactly does rc.local work?23:29
rhizmoexubuntu5: sometimes rc.conf is shared amongst machines, rc.local is for stuff specific to the machine. the role kind of breaks down in a one-machine situation.23:29
rhizmoeor, er, maybe not rc.conf, but other more general rc's23:30
xubuntu5what do you mean shared i amongst machines? i only have one machine23:31
rhizmoeman -k isn't being helpful here23:31
palladin35y1i installed lucid on my dell D610 laptop and after i updated i booted to a grub screen23:31
rhizmoexubuntu5: it's just a naming convention23:31
xubuntu5so i make rc.local executable?23:31
xubuntu5and put a script in there and that will run at bootup?23:31
rhizmoeoh, are you talking about something specific?23:31
glebihanrhizmoe, the question is, what are you talking about ?23:32
glebihanxubuntu5, yes23:32
rhizmoei don't have an rc.local on my 11.10 machine, and so was speaking more to the general unixy sense23:32
Umeaboypalladin35y1: And?23:32
rhizmoemea culpa23:33
glebihanxubuntu5, as mentioned in the file, just make sure it ends with exit 023:33
xubuntu5so if i want to start x11vnc would just put sleep 30 and then x11vnc -flags here and that should allow me to see the login window via vnc?23:33
