[00:00] renemoraes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS [00:00] does anyone here know how to make facebook detect webcam on ubuntu ? [00:00] thanks in advance [00:00] hello. 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 to [00:00] fix this? [00:01] testing123321: your web browser needs to see the camera, it sees it, facebook sees it [00:02] D4nt3, does the screen turn on at all? [00:02] ActionParsnip: thank you very much! really! I will follow the steps... thank u again! [00:02] no it's off completely [00:02] how does one make the web browser see the camera tho ? === Toto is now known as Guest45902 [00:02] is any library on ubuntu for some text/pdf documents? [00:02] D4nt3, you don't even see the BIOS splash? [00:03] testing123321: that depends on the browser, but chances are your system does not see the camera, is it builtin? [00:04] it works on other webchat but not on facebook [00:04] no it's not built-in [00:04] When 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. [00:05] !nomodeset | D4nt3 [00:05] D4nt3: 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 [00:05] testing123321: then you really got an odd issue, if you have used the camera with the web browser before then its between you and facebook settings [00:06] o.O I see [00:06] testing123321, 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.html [00:07] ActionParsnip i tried theese hints but it still does not change the settings [00:07] Oer: it is a facebook setting then :) [00:07] almoxarife, no flash setting [00:08] thank you :D [00:08] so i need sun java then ? :) [00:08] Oer: flash setting for the cam to work? [00:08] what file system can be read by ubuntu, mac os x AND windows? [00:08] testing123321: java for flash? [00:09] pitlimit: fat32 [00:09] hm [00:09] pitlimit: ntfs [00:09] the web page says to install sun java ... [00:09] How 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 there [00:09] testing123321: sun doesn't own java now, oracle does [00:10] ActionParsnip: is ntfs writeable by mac os x? [00:10] how to copy xfce settings to another machine [00:10] pitlimit: its not readable by default either afaik [00:10] pitlimit: no idea, I don'tuse apple's rubbish [00:10] currently, 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] testing123321: assuming you have a ubuntu install you already have java [00:10] I will reword my question. What file system can be rw by ubuntu mac osx and windows? [00:11] pitlimit: fat32 certainly will but its not very robust, plus 4Gb file limit may affect your storage option [00:11] pitlimit: ntfs [00:11] oh [00:11] ok [00:11] thanks [00:11] how do I stop tty making the screen go black after 5min of inactivity? [00:12] NastyNaz: disable dpms [00:12] SVNDR,if lmsensors do not recognize yours, it will run automatic by ACPI, full speed i guess [00:12] NastyNaz: install a desktop and configure it to do so [00:12] testing123321: do you use 32bit ubuntu? [00:12] is 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 terminal [00:13] Oer: is there any way to check what RPM its running at [00:13] hey anyone know why this would be happening? [WARNING] Non-preferred master advertising: reasserting control of VIP with another gratuitous arp [00:13] my ubuntu 10.10 livecd wants a username and password. anyway to get around this [00:13] Yes, 32 bit [00:13] wrektjet, unity --reset then reboot [00:13] wrektjet: try a reboot [00:14] mishugana: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run: passwd ubuntu press CTRL+ALT+F7 and login as ubuntu with the password you set [00:14] wrektjet, a plaiun reboot may be the answer as suggested as well. [00:14] plain* [00:14] ubluntu: how do I disable dpms? [00:14] testing123321: http://paste.ubuntu.com/797750/ [00:14] NastyNaz: do you have an xorg.conf ? [00:14] testing123321: that's my script to install oracle java 1.7_02 [00:14] when i control alt f1 it says Authentication failure 11 times [00:15] cool :D [00:15] NastyNaz: or for command line only ? [00:15] thanks [00:15] ubluntu: im using the ctrl+alt+f1 terminal [00:15] ubluntu: if i use gui and fullscreen irrsi it never goes black but in ctrl+alt+f1 it does [00:16] SVNDR, not without lmsensors AFAIK [00:16] anyone have any idea why my VIP always gets pulled to one of the servers? [00:16] NastyNaz: xset force dpms off [00:16] NastyNaz: sorry xset dpms force off [00:16] Oer: damn, alright cheers.. just got a massive overheating problem [00:16] NastyNaz: probably have to do that every reboot though. [00:17] ActionParsnip: 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] NastyNaz: 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] ubluntu: i get error:unable to open display "" [00:18] NastyNaz, xset is an x11 command [00:18] hrm. how do you stop dpms for just cli then ? vbetool ? [00:20] ubluntu: 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 though [00:21] so in text-only ubuntu how do I stop it going to screensaver? [00:21] ubluntu: and yes, dont forget to auto-run x-screen saver in user mode [00:21] NastyNaz: there is no such thing as 'text' only ubuntu, look it up [00:22] well in tty === mike is now known as Guest71897 [00:22] if I go into gui and turn screensaver off will it work in tty? [00:22] Hello! good day! [00:23] NastyNaz: why not try, live a little [00:23] NastyNaz, i dont think so. X should give up control over the hardware to the kernel [00:23] NastyNaz: sorry guess I only know how to do it for x sorry [00:23] hey, how do I change my nickname here? [00:24] turns out gui was already set to never turn screen off, so I guess the answer to my initial question is 'no' [00:24] Guest71897: /nick name === Guest71897 is now known as Rexter [00:25] sweet! thanks! [00:25] Rexter: np man [00:25] Is this the ubuntu help channel? [00:26] Can someone please explain how to connect a xbox360 controller to ubuntu? [00:26] JasonGriffee: plug it in, see if it works, tried it? [00:27] almoxarife, of course. it won't see it. [00:27] how does one auto mount drives? [00:27] JasonGriffee: and i am not trying to be funny, that is how i read it, it would just work, ps3?? no, not so lucky [00:28] almoxarife, does it not appear in xinput? [00:28] escott: it does, the ps3? [00:28] <_HoochMan_> xubuntu5: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [00:29] almoxarife, any advice? [00:29] almoxarife, sorry meant that for JasonGriffee i guess. check if it appears in xinput --list [00:29] thanks hooch [00:30] JasonGriffee: google? [00:30] <_HoochMan_> xubuntu5: your welcome [00:30] JasonGriffee: isn't it just a bluetooth joypad? [00:30] escott, no [00:30] JasonGriffee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller [00:30] i have a prob using firefix [00:31] ActionParsnip: thats ps3. but the ps3 stick also has usb. [00:31] the righ click menu doesn't remain if i move the mouse cursor [00:31] ps3 uses sixaxis package and a pairing thing that made my head hurt [00:31] almoxarife, tried it [00:31] no such prob in chrome [00:32] JasonGriffee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller [00:32] pysdm that was easy thanks again hooch! [00:32] hansg01: there you go, no reason to look back, chrome on [00:32] ActionParsnip, tried it [00:32] have removed official ubuntu update channel firefox and installed aurora from firefox bt the probstil remain [00:33] JasonGriffee: there you go, you have to figure it out and then you become the channel expert === Youri is now known as Iruoy [00:33] almoxarife: it seems so, bt anyone else facing this prob? [00:34] hoooch! [00:34] i have one more question [00:34] JasonGriffee: may help http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.10/?q=qjoypad [00:34] how can i automount via sshfs? [00:34] JasonGriffee: you'll need to install the playdeb deb to add the ppa [00:34] JasonGriffee: or you restate the question, ' hey guys, how can i use the xbox controller as a terminal pointer??' that might get the purists interested [00:34] I 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? === theborger is now known as Olfway [00:35] Rexter: what GPU? [00:35] hansg01: i use chromium just so i dont have the issue === Olfway is now known as theborger [00:35] <_HoochMan_> xubuntu5: hmmm, I wouldn't know that one, try searching on the ubuntu help site,maybe they have something [00:35] ActionParsnip; how can I tell? [00:35] alright thanks [00:36] Rexter: lspci | grep -i vga [00:36] xubuntu5: you can add them in /etc/fstab [00:36] almoxarife: and yeah i m using chrome and chromium doesn't have the recent v16 while chrome has, what this? [00:36] i can add sshfs to /etc/fstab? [00:36] maybe 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 needed [00:37] 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] and 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 reason [00:37] hansg01: recent v16??? [00:37] xubuntu5: 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] almoxarife: the update to version 16 [00:37] ActionParsnip: Intel Sandybridge Integrated. [00:38] Rexter: I suggest you use Oneiric, it has better support for the chip [00:38] thanks action [00:38] ActionParsnip: how do i change it? [00:39] hansg01: version 16 chrome is ??? better? [00:39] how can i run my scripts after boot as root? [00:39] i can't sudo in the script because that requires the root password [00:39] Rexter: 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 clean [00:40] xubuntu5, you dont need sudo to mount in fstab [00:40] hi how can I play starcraft 2 on ubuntu 11.10 [00:40] thanks escott [00:40] ActionParsnip: belay my last. I know what you are talking about... [00:40] xubuntu5: you can have a script run which has a looong sleep command in then run: sudo mount -a may do it... [00:40] belayed aye [00:41] if i chown the script to root will that still ask me for the root password if i have it running root commands? [00:41] ActionParsnip: This comp is for a computer illiterate family member. i was really hoping to stick with a LTS. [00:41] xubuntu5, take the sudo out. it is not needed [00:41] but say i had something else that needed sudo is that how i would do it chown the .sh file? [00:42] xubuntu5: no [00:42] Rexter: Lucid desktop suport ends when Oneiric's does [00:42] ActionParsnip: belay my last. I know what you are talking about... , yearssssssssssssssssss since i heard that term :) [00:42] oh how would i do that [00:42] xubuntu5, you would chown the file restrict permissions and mark it as setuid and audit the code to make sure it sanitizes any inputs [00:42] setuid? [00:42] 4755? [00:43] thanks again for all your help [00:43] ActionParsnip: ah, ok. How do I get rid of Unity, and will it be just the same otherwise? [00:43] xubuntu5, its not something you should do unless it is absolutely necessary. in this case it isn't since mount is setuid [00:43] ok thanks [00:43] xubuntu5: make a script with 3 lines:http://pastebin.com/buQJyUj4 save that somewhere and make it executable [00:44] http://up.liga.ir/images/6m7ux4qi4c6tyn7dvp1x.swf [00:44] oh god wrong channel [00:44] don't click [00:44] Rexter: Gnome isn't the ONLY desktop, you can use your favourite Gnome apps in XFCE and you will not have Unity.... [00:44] thanks action [00:44] what does the a flag do? [00:44] xubuntu5: then make it run in /etc/rc.local [00:44] in mount [00:44] whereis the startx setting to keep x from loading at boot? [00:44] /usr/bin/startx??? not sure just a guess [00:44] ActionParsnip: cool, buy i want the gnome version I'm used to. [00:45] joker2u: lightdm starts Xorg afaik [00:45] xubuntu5: the -a option, tells the system to mount (A)ll the file systems in fstab [00:45] got it! [00:45] and you don't need sudo to do that?? [00:45] xubuntu5 it's artistx. I DO NOT WANT X!! I want x dead, [00:45] and then i just add it to rc.local? [00:45] xubuntu5: rc.local will run the script as root, you will need to add an ampersand to the command so the script is backgrounded [00:46] xubuntu5, no thats half of the reason for the existence of /etc/fstab [00:46] i see [00:46] so i can do either /etc/fstab or run that script with rc.local? [00:46] xubuntu5: add it above the exit 0 line [00:46] thanks [00:46] just ./script & above exit 0? [00:46] xubuntu5: the network will not be up when fstab is executed, so network shares will not mount [00:46] ./script.sh [00:46] xubuntu5, 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 sudo [00:47] I 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 panel [00:47] ActionParsnip: What version of Gnome does ubuntu 11.10 contain? [00:47] thank you so much [00:47] xubuntu5: no do NOT use ./ use absolute path as there is no pwd [00:47] Rexter: 3.2.. [00:47] ok [00:47] thanks again! [00:47] ? [00:47] !text | joker2u [00:47] joker2u: 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 [00:48] Hi! [00:48] xubuntu5: the script will sleep 30 seconds, then run the mount -a making the fstab mount for you. [00:48] ActionParsnip: eew. looking to avoid that. can i go with Gnome 2.3 , or 2.4? [00:48] thanks action [00:48] ubottu grub.conf has nothing to do with x? [00:48] joker2u: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:48] Lets for instance assume that I want to port a guide that's written for Ubuntu and/or Debian to another distro.......... [00:48] Rexter: gnome 2 is dead [00:48] and i don't need the ./ in rc.local? [00:49] joker2u: grub is the boot loader for ubuntu [00:49] can i run gui programs in rc.local or just background services? [00:49] like have web browser start up [00:49] and rc.local runs everything as root?? [00:49] Rexter: 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 GTK [00:49] If 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] I don't know what thoose packages contain. [00:49] xubuntu5: yes everything runs as root, you can use su to run commands as any other user too :) [00:49] I mean filewise. [00:50] xubuntu5: just services and command, there is no x server when rc.local is ran, unless you use the sleep method [00:51] is there a way to manual edit of the desktop /startup application panel from the command line? [00:51] ActionParsnip: 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] ahh got it [00:51] is that the only way to run x at startup with the sleep command? [00:51] i like that idea of having it sleep and then load stuff [00:51] ok 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] Rexter: whats wrong with your graphics on 10.04 exactly so someone can help [00:52] Rexter: when April next year rolls round, Lucid desktop support will be dead and Gnome 3 will be the only Gnome choice [00:52] NastyNaz, see if there is anything in /sys related to dpms [00:53] hi how can I play starcraft 2 on ubuntu 11.10 [00:53] NastyNaz 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 tabs [00:53] byobu is awesome! === kevin is now known as SKeme === SKeme is now known as Skeme [00:54] you can have tabs in your TTY1 NastyNaz [00:54] ActionParsnip: 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] please somebody tell me how to rescue a desktop? [00:54] xubuntu5: that might not work cuz irssi keeps refreshing screen all the time and it still goes blank if i dont use keyboard [00:54] please somebody tell me how to rescue a desktop? [00:54] ubluntu: The screen resolution in the gui tool won't go higher than 800X600. [00:54] . [00:54] j [00:54] Rexter: 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 working [00:54] dang you might be right NastyNaz hmm try hmm try running cmatrix -s screen saver mode for cmatrix that should keep going [00:55] Rexter: in the graphics properties? you can use xrandr to add a new mode. I could talk you threw it. [00:55] joker2u, .config/autostart? [00:55] might not be what you want to see after 5 minutes but still cool matrix screensaver [00:55] ubluntu: that would be great! how to start? [00:55] escott that sn crashed. this is joker [00:55] hi how can I play starcraft 2 on ubuntu 11.10 [00:55] Rexter: well on the 10.04 machine open a terminal [00:56] escott .config/autostart? I need old config completely nuked! [00:56] a [00:56] ubluntu: there. [00:56] fulcan, rm -rf it then [00:56] escott I am on a live cd as my ONLY access to my drive. [00:57] Rexter: can you pastebin the output of xrandr -q ? [00:57] q [00:57] escott I deleted the entire user directory and root directory, rebuilt them, reboot and the damn panels are still gone. TOTALLY un navagatable [00:57] hi 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 process [00:58] fulcan, making a new user directory should be enough. what do you mean panels are gone [00:58] shaneo: Install process for what? [00:59] shaneo, you mean "echo" [00:59] its a script that setups an irc shell all at once [00:59] escott yes, but how do I change the user that x goes into? [00:59] yeah its alot of wget and tar commands and i just want to show some text insted [00:59] escott how about this. How do I nuke X? [00:59] ubluntu: http://pastebin.com/p0kvqf4z [00:59] fulcan, with gdm it was a file in /etc/default/gdm not sure with lightdm but probably something in /etc/lightdm [01:00] Rexter: thats blank ? [01:00] xubuntu5: fixed the problem, I edited /etc/default/grub and set grub_timeout to 0 [01:00] http://pastebin.com/P0kvqf4z [01:00] sorry, not chatting on same machine. [01:01] Rexter: its ok. so run cvt 1920 1080 or whatever resolution you want [01:02] hi [01:02] ubluntu: i don't understand your instruction. [01:02] Rexter: in terminal on 10.04 machine run command "cvt number number" for resolution modeline [01:02] i have a dual boot sysem [01:02] and i need to copy some windows files from ubuntu to dvd [01:03] Rexter: substitute number number for the resolution you would like. [01:03] can anyone help? [01:03] ubluntu, ok cool, next step? [01:03] shaneo: 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 #bash [01:03] Rexter: run xrandr --newmode "everything you got after ModeLine from other command" [01:04] anyone? [01:04] wow busy room [01:05] What is the status of Asus Eee PC 701 ("4G") compatibility ? [01:05] Isn't esound deprecated in Ubuntu? [01:05] grobda24: look up eeebuntu [01:05] fyreme: Where are you running into a problem? [01:06] fyreme: Use Samba. [01:07] Or just open the partition in nautilus.' [01:07] i cant login to windows can i still use nautilus or samba [01:08] ubuntu is on the same drive as the windows partition [01:08] somsip, thanks [01:08] ubluntu: ok, seemed to take it... [01:08] Rexter does it show up in the display thing now? [01:09] i am not very expierenced with linux [01:09] ubluntu: no [01:09] grobda24: you're welcome [01:09] fyreme: 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 nautilus [01:09] ubluntu: do I need to restart perhaps? [01:09] fyreme: 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. [01:10] somsip, hang on ... eeebuntu is Aurora now. Is it still up to date for the 701 ? [01:10] Rexter: no xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.00 replace the last part with yours obviously [01:10] grobda24: you got me there. Been a long time since I looked at it [01:10] jordon_u how do i access the windows files within linux? [01:11] somsip, well, this is the problem I have [01:11] is nautilus a command prompt or gui utility? [01:11] fyreme: It should be one of the filesystems listed in the left column in nautilus. Just click it. [01:11] Was thinking of installing latest Ubuntu (which had netbook absorbed into it) [01:12] and then configuring from there to make it appropriate for the EeePC 701 [01:12] fyreme: Nautilus is the name of Ubuntu's default GUI file browser. [01:12] grobda24: I found the eeeUser forums helpful when I looked at this: http://forum.eeeuser.com/ but currently under maintencance [01:12] ubluntu: that's the mode I'm looking for 1024x768, can i type it in the same syntax as you did? [01:13] Rexter: you can also do a xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768 that should do it immediatly [01:13] omg for all those that wanted to turn screensaver off in tty: sudo setterm -blank 0 [01:14] ubluntu: "Cannot find mode 1024X768" [01:15] jordan_U thank you [01:16] Rexter: use that command from before then to add it [01:16] ubluntu: I will point out that it does not recognize the monitor. I sees it as unknown. i don't know if that matters. === kevin is now known as Guest83796 [01:18] ubluntu: "xrandr: cannot find mode "1024X768_60.00" [01:19] ubluntu: sorry, I might be confused. Which command are we on? [01:20] ubluntu: I got the same error on both. [01:20] Rexter: well did you run the cvt command and then use that for the xrandr --newmode command ? [01:20] fyreme: You're welcome. [01:21] ubluntu: I got all mixed up, sorry, go slow. cvt 1024 768, and then what command? [01:21] i i would have sworn my friend said he had quick books on this machine [01:22] finding everything but [01:22] Rexter: so everything after ModeLine from the cvt command goes in xrandr --newmode "stuff from cvt command" [01:23] ubluntu: with quotes? [01:23] Rexter: so like xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync [01:23] ubluntu: got it, then next? [01:24] Rexter: xrandr --addmode default 1024x768_60.00 [01:24] Hello, I am trying to play a DVD movie I just rented in Red box but I get this error: Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed. How can I fix it? [01:25] danes: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 I believe search for libdvdss if not [01:25] ubluntu: E: Package 'libdvdcss2' has no installation candidate [01:26] hi guys, I am wondering if it would be ok to ctrl z out of photorec... it's a scarry piece of software and there is no exit out button [01:26] danes do a sudo apt-cache search libdvdcss [01:27] ubluntu: what am i doing wrong? http://pastebin.com/DkS0uKWQ [01:27] !info libdvdcss2 [01:27] Package libdvdcss2 does not exist in oneiric [01:27] hei, anyone awokened at this time of the hour?? [01:27] how make gnome3 theme [01:27] ubluntu: http://pastebin.com/dpftz91K [01:27] ubluntu: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 reveals no installation candidate for me, and no version installed [01:28] a link maybe? [01:28] danes: did they change it to libdvdread4 maybe try installing that? [01:29] my 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 pools [01:29] ubluntu: you still with me? [01:29] Rexter: you put a capital X in 1024X768 [01:29] danes: install the 'restricted......' for your version [01:29] oh sorry [01:29] almoxarife: how? [01:29] danes: you on ubuntu? === tjf is now known as tjf|hw [01:29] almoxarife: yes [01:29] anyone know a good resource for learning how to be a linux server admin? I need to learn how to automate user creation, permissions, creation of folders etc [01:29] danes: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:31] my friend is one of the few people I would do this for [01:31] NastyNaz: ubuntu unleashed might be a good place to start [01:31] ubluntu: ah ok, got it, next? [01:31] Rexter: does it show up in xrandr -q now? [01:32] Rexter: hit up on the arrow key on that other machine and redo the other commands [01:32] Yes, [01:32] ubluntu: yes [01:34] ubluntu: should i try to change it in the monitor gui tool? [01:34] hi, im running unity, the skype notification icon doesnt appear in the top bar like other progs. Any ideas/ [01:34] Rexter: you can redo that other command xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768 === Youri is now known as Iruoy === ubuntu is now known as Success [01:37] ubluntu, almoxarife, thanks [01:38] ubluntu: check it out. http://pastebin.com/XyMSLJ1s [01:39] Rexter: try xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768_60.00 [01:39] was about to say that [01:39] ubluntu: "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" [01:40] Rexter: well..... idk then... never seen that error should be working... [01:41] ubluntu: It didn't work :( [01:41] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:41] is there a way to get upnp to commuinate with different networks on the same network? [01:41] ubluntu: I'm thinking I need to reinstall the driver, or get it to see the monitor correctly, what do you think? [01:41] danes: you can get that from the software centre [01:41] danes: you mean playing a dvd still doesn' t work ? [01:41] ubluntu: yes [01:42] It looks like the restricted extras are installed [01:42] danes: did you install that dvd read package also [01:42] ubluntu: yes [01:42] bah i cant get compiz going and im stuck somehow on a single desktop. flips slowly to a second side but i cant even move windows [01:43] danes: libdvdread4 should be the one.... [01:43] Rexter: can you pastebin xorg.0.log?? [01:44] danes: what you using to try to play a dvd vlc ?? [01:44] ubluntu: the movie player [01:44] almoxarife: how do i bring it up? [01:44] ubluntu: I'll try with VLC [01:44] danes: try with vlc [01:45] Rexter: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [01:45] danes: dpkg shows me that libdvdread4 is the one.... ii libdvdread4 4.1.3-10ubuntu4. library for reading DVDs [01:45] ubluntu: yes, It is already installed [01:46] Rexter: then this pastebinit /var/log/xorg.0.log [01:46] Rexter: share the link [01:47] danes, did you execute the css script too ? sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [01:47] What is the name of the package nowdays that lets you make gtk apps look like they are qt apps? [01:47] Oer: nope, I didn't know that [01:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [01:48] almoxarife: thanks. I'm chasing my tail here. I'm gonna take the advice of ActionParsnip, and just go with 11.10. [01:48] Oer: thanks. was trying to help him but I upgraded and never had to run that command. so I obviously had no idea of it ;-) [01:48] Rexter: seems like a bug with your video driver. [01:49] thanks to ubluntu, and almoxarife, and ActionParsnip for the help! [01:49] ubluntu: yep, i'm whipped. :( [01:52] mode Chipzzz -s [01:52] whoops :O [01:58] hi [01:59] why I haven't a xorg.conf file in my 11.10 version? [01:59] should it be in /etc/X11 ? [02:00] monica_: there isn't one as standard [02:00] somsip ....where is it? [02:01] monica_: there isn't one as standard [02:01] monica_: the xserver is being set by KMS automatically, but if you write an xorg.conf it will become the configuration [02:01] monica_, xorg doesn't need a xorg.conf anymore [02:01] if a configuration is not there why my graphic card works? I don't understand sorry [02:02] monica_: xorg now uses something (clever mode, or guaranteed mode) where most of the time a conf is not required [02:02] thanks debsan [02:03] so if I need to configure xorg I have to create a xorg.conf file before? [02:03] monica_, np, thank other ppl too :) [02:03] monica_: yes, and you have to put "nomodeset" in the kernel boot line [02:03] monica_: yup http://askubuntu.com/questions/65744/i-need-to-add-sections-in-xorg-conf-do-i-need-to-create-it [02:04] hello, what are the keyboard shortcuts to show all open windows [02:04] nice....thanks you [02:04] lke on osx where they all show up as thumbs/small and you can click whatever one to focus back in [02:05] badbandit, it depends on what DE you are using. [02:05] *raises hand for ubuntu help* [02:05] hey all, I'm running 10.04 and have not customized the gui at all (that I'm aware of :). I have this issue wherein I mouse over the ubuntu icon in the upper left corner on the taskbar and a selector/chooser of the four desktop/workspace areas is presented. It's quite annoying and I'd like to turn it off. [02:07] my 10.04 update manager is not showing update option to 10.10 [02:09] is there a easy way to test the speed capabilities of my network ? [02:09] jgcampbell300: http://www.speedtest.net/ [02:10] acerimmer, sorry .. not internet connection, the speed between my computers and servers etc .. [02:16] i didn't know that ubuntu would mount a windows partition automatically [02:16] is this something new? [02:17] <_jason> fyreme: fairly old [02:17] what version of ubuntu did this come out in? [02:17] wish i had more time to master ubuntu [02:17] fyreme: as you use it, you will learn [02:18] true [02:18] most of my time is spent preparing for ccna exam [02:18] too expensive to fail [02:18] fyreme: hope it goes well :) [02:18] ty [02:18] jan 30 [02:20] fyreme: your cisco routers basically run linux, you can make all the sub interfaces you like in Ubuntu [02:23] good night [02:23] i have a question [02:23] i want to install ubuntu studio and i have to format my hd [02:24] do i have to chose a particular filesystem or it doesn't matter? [02:24] i refer to ext1, ext2, ext3 [02:24] ecc [02:24] hey, I'm running 10.10 and dpkg is segfaulting whenever I try to install anything. I don't know of anything I could've done to break it. [02:25] Tune: default is ext4 [02:25] perfect [02:25] thank you very much :) [02:26] Hi guys. How can I add a home directory to a user without one? [02:27] p3rsist: sudo mkdir /home/name; sudo chown -R name:name /home/name [02:28] ActionParsnip: yeah, but will it be the default home directory for that user when I log in with it? [02:30] p3rsist: it's set in /etc/passwd [02:30] Thanks [02:30] ActionParsnip: Thanks ;) [02:35] Is gtkqt not available in oneiric?

[02:38] hello.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? [02:39] somsip: I want the latest tmux, regardless of what is available in 10.04. [02:39] I could compile it from source, but I'd rather it be auto-updated like everything else.

[03:07] any 1 [03:07] Glacia: if you run: sudo apt-get update is it smooth with no warnings about keys or 404s? [03:08] Quantum_Ion: it uses a lot more resources, its worth exploring [03:10] Glacia: Assuming it's smooth, run: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades change: Prompt=lts to: Prompt=normal if necessary, save the new file, close gedit then run: sudo do-release-upgrade [03:10] yeah, I have run lxde on a pentium two without trouble [03:10] does anybody in here run ubuntu?

[03:27] ActionParsnip, I am tryinging lxde and it doesnt run any color with xsensor installed [03:27] Quantum_Ion: is the system cooler?

[03:31] just a stupid question, has intelHD gotten any better with opengl? [03:31] Idk it seems like i've lost productivity with unity [03:31] I just don't seem to work as fast [03:32] it's ugly and doesn't clash well [03:32] Medjai: because lots of things are not there anymore. It's a withdrawal symptom you're experiencing :) [03:33] Medjai: the only hope is MATE from Mint I guess [03:33] !nounity [03:33] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [03:33] Medjai, Good thing you dont have Android ICe Cream Sandwich installed then you would really be complaining [03:33] Medjai: try Precise liveCD, should be ok.

[03:35] I've installed openconnect and libopenconnect, but network-manager does not detect openconnect as a possible VPN type [03:36] Medjai, just curious you know how slow the Android emulator can be [03:36] Medjai, I wish it was smooth like the phone [03:36] Quantum_Ion: http://www.android-x86.org/ [03:37] would Ubuntu be a good choice for my Acer netbook?

[03:39] action... is sudo do-release-upgrade smart enough to get the packets it missed due to network error? [03:39] people who say damn are stupid [03:39] somsip, cool [03:40] Nevermind, I figured it out. I needed to install the network-manager-openconnect package [03:40] well, I am not going to try it now because I don't have a thumb drive [03:40] Glacia: not sure tbh, try it is allI can say [03:40] but I will be asking for help later on =) [03:40] Teratogen: SD card?

[05:21] wireless intellimouse, created by microsoft [05:22] model: 1009 [05:22] i have a question [05:22] also, plugged in another logitech USB mouse, and rebooted the computer, and no dice, that mouse doesn't work either [05:23] for what, laptop? === Youri is now known as Iruoy [05:24] dwees: echo $XORGCONFIG [05:25] okay [05:25] how do I open up a terminal with the keyboard?

[05:30] Device is not available: Address family not supported by protocol [05:31] really lol is it a blue tooth mouse? [05:32] It's a wireless mouse, has a USB attachment that transmits some sort of signal to the mouse, not bluetooth [05:32] That's probably RF. Especially if it's a logitech. [05:32] dwees: have you tried new batteries and a restart? and you said you trid a corded mouse? [05:33] jacer: everything that is wireless is RF [05:33] yeah, I've tried those [05:33] the mouse worked like 3 hours ago in Ubuntu 11.04, and doesn't work now on the same machine with 11.10 installed [05:34] does your corded mouse work when you plug it in? [05:34] I'm using it now on a different laptop [05:34] oh hmm [05:35] So I know the corded mouse works fine [05:35] but does a wired mouse work when you plug it in, no does it work on the comp you are having mouse prolems with [05:35] I'd be happy switching to a corded mouse on the desktop computer, if that's what it would take [05:35] no just trying to determine the issue thats all [05:35] the wired mouse works on this computer, but does not work on the other computer, even after a reboot [05:35] so something strange there [05:35] batteries? [05:35] are there any real differences from the different versions of ubuntu? like kubuntu etc.... [05:36] sneauxwolf: only the graphical environment [05:36] sneauxwolf: desktop environment and associated applications [05:36] dwees: so the system is not detecting either usb mouse that is strange [05:36] yeah [05:36] ok so just one uses xfce, and kde, or gnome...gotcha thanks [05:36] ok hold on [05:36] hello === devsys_ is now known as devsys [05:36] i am new [05:37] the USB ports are providing power b/c it lights up both of my mice no problem [05:37] hrmm, how do I check USB ports? [05:37] dwees: do you see them in lsusb ? [05:37] Yes [05:37] I actually SEE the mouse listed [05:37] hmm [05:38] Hi dxn [05:38] thanks dwees [05:38] which program loads the desktop wallpaper on boot? [05:38] what is last posted when you remove and reinsert the usb mouse and type dmesg in term? [05:39] and then try a "hcitool scan" [05:41] I have installed nmap, as per a friend that steered me towards linux, but he keeps telling me to 'be careful, don't get in trouble'....but won't elaborate on how I could get in trouble. So now I'm afraid to use it [05:41] I'll check in a second troy [05:41] just double checked, new batteries does not help [05:42] new low speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd [05:42] how to change ubuntu 11.10 theme [05:42] sneauxwolf, well... port scans can trigger alerts in some intrusion detection systems... [05:42] dwees: that was in the dmesg? [05:42] same message as before when i did the scan [05:42] that was the very last line in the message [05:43] sneauxwolf: nmap only looks for open ports on a ip address [05:43] the message before that was USB disconnect, device number 2, which is probably from the last time I disconnected the mouse before [05:43] rumpe1, 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? [05:44] I just want to stay out of trouble [05:44] sneauxwolf, if you use it on machines owned by yourself and in your own network (lan), you won't get trouble. [05:44] rumpe1: its not illegeal to scan ports [05:45] dwees: /proc/bus/usb/devices [05:45] Troy_, didn't say illegal... but some admins really don't like port scanners. [05:45] troy: just illegal if you use that info for other means right? [05:45] no such file or directory [05:45] hi, my laptops fans is spinning at higher speed (making much noise than in windows). Why could that be? [05:45] sneauxwolf, why not use a netstat instead of checking the ports externally? [05:46] where do i ask this? [05:46] its the passion behind the [05:46] omg wrong paste :D [05:46] rumpe1: netstat identifies those also? [05:46] how to change my tcp type [05:47] IIRC correctly port scanning could be against some ISP's TOS. [05:47] hah [05:47] bullshit [05:47] sneauxwolf, it's similar but it works locally and not by probing a remote machine [05:47] hello everyone. [05:47] so i want to install kyle [05:47] hi jenia [05:48] i mean kile [05:48] and i read in the comments that its better to use a ppa [05:48] /quit [05:48] oops [05:48] i added that ppa to my list of ppa, but i dont know how to use it. [05:48] 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 issue [05:48] rumpe1: ok thanks I'll try that, but should I keep nmap around, I mean does it prove useful for anything? [05:49] so is it that case that when i install kile, the installation program will some what files to get from the ppa? [05:49] or do i need to somehow install the ppa kile version specifically [05:49] ? [05:49] okay, thank you troy [05:49] wierd that it worked in 11.04 [05:50] maybe I'll just wipe 11.10, and try re-installing 11.04? [05:50] program will somehow* know* what file to get from the ppa [05:50] jenia: when you add a ppa, it will use it for the program. Just install from synaptic or Software Center [05:50] or do a clean install of 11.10 especially if you did a upgrade === jthomas is now known as TheDracle [05:50] jenia: yes [05:50] I 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 install [05:51] okay thanks ben and troy [05:51] jenia: in term if you have already added ppa: sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [05:51] wickedwiccan: you should use the Hardware Drivers interface to get proprietary drivers [05:51] then jenia sudo apt-get install Kile [05:52] Ben64, 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 activated [05:53] wickedwiccan: what error [05:53] sneauxwolf, sure it's useful for certain purposes. nmap is for remote machines, netstat is locally. [05:53] thanks troy ;) [05:53] hey, anyone have experience with iScsi? [05:54] rumpe1: ok so if I want to probe my other windows machine on the same network I can use nmap for that? [05:54] yes sneauxwolf [05:54] nmap is good locally as well [05:54] sneauxwolf, yes [05:56] troy: 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 trouble [05:57] sneauxwolf: its really hard to get in trouble from using nmap [05:58] sneauxwolf: honestly you won't.. [05:58] you'd have to scan something like fbi.gov every 5 minutes [05:58] sneauxwolf, 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] Ben64: fbi.gov lmfao [05:59] Ben64: 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 either [05:59] sneauxwolf, 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. [06:00] 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 WAN [06:00] rumpe1: you could use it for other purposes then, like find an open port on someone else's machine and gain access? [06:00] sneauxwolf: well you wouldnt gain access with with the application [06:00] its still their fault if there is a security hole [06:00] sneauxwolf, well... something like that. [06:01] Ok thanks guys that really helps so now I have an idea of what I can do with it, and what not to do [06:01] I'm off to test netstat, and nmap [06:02] netstat is kind of clunky [06:02] I'll probably be back later when I hit another snag [06:02] lol [06:04] IS there a pblm with Ubuntu 11.10 /GNOME/Empathy ?

[06:31] i had this issue on my toshiba once before with a diff ubuntu version [06:31] i know i fixed it, but cant remember what i did [06:32] i thought i might have installed a new/different sound card driver?

[08:19] Knorre, I doubt it given KDE is written in the QT framework and I presume that if the app isn't written in part with that framework. It'll look awkward and not in it's native form.

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] pnorman, I'd prefer the open source alternative in many situations. But than again we all still live in a proprietary world. [08:52] wwwd, rsync's my favourite for simple one. bacula for more complex backup strategies. [08:52] wwwd, using deja-dup is my strategy [08:53] immortals [08:53] I need to develop a backup strategy. Part of my problem is I cannot backup all my data to a single drive [08:54] 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] I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 with pretty much stock features, I'm just now starting over [08:55] I am going to use a external hard drive to backup my laptop. If I use cron to schedule a regular backup can I make it conditional on having the drive hooked up? [08:56] Hi i have a ATI 4250m, i'm trying to get the correct resolution on my tv, (1920x1080, i know it supports that because iv'e done it in windows before), but in windows, i had to use the ATI drivers to disable the EDID and set a max resolution , anyway to force it? [08:56] wwwd, deja-dup makes sense for workstations because it allows you to do regular incremental remote backups easily [08:56] NetRunnerBlack_, Ubuntu doesn't support the package RPM that's a Red Hat package manager. [08:56] 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.gz [08:57] NetRunnerBlack_: yum is for rpm though [08:57] yum installss rpm [08:57] yum isn't on ubuntu [08:57] NetRunnerBlack_, YUM is a yellow dog package manager yet red hat also tends to use it. [08:57] YUM was the one I hadn't heard of. Still, the tar.gz option hasn't worked either [08:57] NetRunnerBlack_: adobe flash plugin is in synaptic [08:58] NetRunnerBlack_, Can't just install it from the Software Center? [08:58] Seveas: How do you find bacula? Does it require a DE? [08:58] NetRunnerBlack_: what do you want to install ? [08:59] Why 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 useful [08:59] Why is it enabled by default? [08:59] NetRunnerBlack_: just remove it [08:59] Necrosporus: just disable it [08:59] on CD? [09:00] making things less scary for windows users [09:00] Necrosporus: most users want to see something pretty [09:00] Necrosporus: yes, just boot with the nosplash option [09:00] it's not writeable [09:00] ikonia, boot logs are pretty [09:00] Necrosporus, it's because without it it looks cheap, esoteric and dated [09:00] can anyone point me out to a list of what each of the permission bits means in extended ACLs? [09:00] boot splash is ugly [09:00] pnorman, 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] Necrosporus: don't be smart, most users don't find reading logs pretty, [09:00] so disable it... [09:00] The boot splash is there to hide the internal mechanics of the kernel. [09:01] Necrosporus: ubuntu is catering to the mass end user and the mass end user wants a pretty visual experience. [09:01] I hadn't tried Software Center [09:01] To new users hiding the internal mechanics is a good thing. To experienced users it makes more sense to see it. [09:01] NetRunnerBlack_: trying the ubuntu package manager should be the first place you go to install softrware [09:01] NetRunnerBlack_: thats where you should install 99.9% of your software [09:01] NetRunnerBlack_, you should, it's should be your first stop for software [09:01] That worked like a charm. Thanks guys. [09:01] Anyone have any idea? D: [09:02] NetRunnerBlack_, No problem. [09:02] aBound: yes, but an experienced user would just disable splash, rather than joining and irc channel to complain about it [09:02] come si cerca un file [09:02] !it | gigiuzzo [09:02] gigiuzzo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [09:02] aBound, I think, it's not good for beginners either, for example, if I would be a beginner, I would be able to see if system is doing something by writing new log lines or just freezed still [09:02] ikonia, An experienced user might actually want the boot splash we can't say anything for certain. Unless, you're using it as a server I suppose. [09:02] How can I copy a ssh public key to a host that only accepts public key authentication? [09:02] l [09:03] yoin ubuntu-it [09:03] RobbieCrash: you have to do it without ssh [09:03] ikonia, Not like we can read the mind of another person. :P [09:03] RobbieCrash: put it on a flash stick and move it across [09:03] RobbieCrash, as another user i reckon [09:03] Necrosporus, Even so if something goes awry with the booting process the kernel will be in text mode. [09:03] but that's inherently unsafe [09:04] Seveas: I guess I'll read the docs and see if it would do for me. I need a system that handles backing up a big drive to multiple small drives. [09:04] and will necessitate changing the owner [09:04] ikonia I don't want to fly to ireland. Any other way? [09:04] RobbieCrash: use something like ftp [09:04] tensorpudding, public keys don't need to be secret. That's why they're called public keys [09:04] I guess I can just scp it, but that's dumb [09:04] RobbieCrash, do you have a graphical terminal? [09:04] what [09:04] Seveas, You're in here too. :P [09:04] RobbieCrash: you can't scp - scp is ssh which you've said requires key auth [09:04] RobbieCrash, just scp it. [09:04] scp uses ssh [09:04] use a password [09:05] Next question. When you build from source. If you later want to remove said software you do so from the file that it was originally built in. So I have in my home directory software_build directory where I do build for things. Is this a wise choice? [09:05] ssh doesn't require passwordless authentication. [09:05] if you can't change the sshd [09:05] Seveas: he's set it up for keys, and doesn't have a key [09:05] > ikonia> Necrosporus: ubuntu is catering to the mass end user and the mass end user wants a pretty visual experience. // Actually, everyone want the operating system to use it, not to watch pretty splash. The system must be as useful as possible and as simple as possible, so boot splash is useless and should not be enabled by default therefor [09:05] it doesn't require it unless it's configured to [09:05] yes, but I can scp using one key to authenticate and specify the additional key to transfer [09:05] Necrosporus: please be quiet - you can't talk for everyone saying "no-one wants the splash" - if it bothers you, remove it, it's that simple [09:05] Necrosporus, Most people just want their OS to just work. [09:05] RobbieCrash, well there you go :) [09:05] :P [09:06] It's like buying a car do you want to fook with it and hope you don't break anything. Or just run your brand new car without the hassle. [09:06] nvm about the resolution , got it with this guide http://gobitech.blogspot.com/2011/06/forcing-screen-resolution-in-fedora-15.html [09:06] aBound: tone down the language please [09:06] aBoud: YES!!! [09:06] ikonia, I gotcha. === croppa_ is now known as croppa [09:07] >> ikonia, An experienced user might actually want the boot splash // Than experienced user can easily install it from a network repository, but it should be disabled by default to save space and system resources and to give the user ability to see what is the system is doing and if it freezed, the user (even beginner) may retype the last line and show it iin support channel or to experienced helper [09:08] Necrosporus, I understand your point of view and it does seem valid. But it varies from person to person. [09:09] Necrosporus, I actually prefer the boot splash to be there seeing as I have a viable working system. [09:09] Hi y'all [09:09] aBound, yeah... but that bootsplashes are actually everywhere :( [09:09] tafelpoot, HI! [09:10] I have a networking question: I van ping from one server to the other, but not vice versa... [09:10] Necrosporus, No doubt I use the standard one with Ubuntu 11.10. I don't want to cause breakage. :P [09:10] Necrosporus, see that as a hint that people actually like it [09:10] can anyone point me out to a list of what each of the permission bits means in extended ACLs? [09:10] tafelpoot, firewall on the other server blocks ping. [09:10] aBound, I hate the bootsplash because it hide if the system is actually working or not... [09:10] Seveas: no firewall... [09:10] Necrosporus, Nonetheless some people just love the ability to customize their Linux machines freedom for all. [09:10] so 1 can ping to 2, but 2 not to 1 [09:10] 3 can ping to both of them [09:10] Necrosporus so disable it... Most people don't want to see "a bunch of random computer stuff" [09:11] Necrosporus, It kinda like represents who there are. [09:11] and 1 and 2 can ping to 3 [09:11] Necrosporus, I'm not implying that it's not a bad idea to disable it. But everybody is different. [09:11] RobbieCrash, if the bootsplash is on CD, I have to disable it everytime, it bother me [09:12] Necrosporus, For server purposes I'd disable it. :P [09:12] Necrosporus so recreate your boot CD to disable it. [09:12] It's on non-writable disk [09:12] So burn a new one! [09:13] Even if they changed it tonight, you'd have to burn a new one to get the change on your CD [09:13] Necrosporus, You can always buy a CD-RW or use a flash drive. [09:13] aBound: by default -server has no splash screen [09:13] pnorman, hehe I forgot about that. [09:13] Why not make your own customizations and set them on your CD [09:14] aBound, that's true, but in other case, why the most people have to suffer from the splash or learn how to use mkisofs? [09:14] I guess, it would be much better if that was disabled by default [09:14] Necrosporus: Since for most people, having a splash screen isn't suffering. [09:15] hmph... if the system booting till the end only [09:15] but if it's not, they are [09:15] Necrosporus, Usually there's tools to tweak the boot splash with ease. [09:15] Necrosporus But I don't want that. I want to see the splash screen. So does my wife. That's two of us that want it, and only you that doesn't. Why do I have to suffer so you can be happy? [09:15] RobbieCrash, how would you suffer from lack of splash? [09:16] lol [09:16] Necrosporus the same way you suffer from it. Not at all. [09:16] I would have to reboot the system again with disabled splash if something going wrong [09:16] That's how I would suffer [09:16] So would I [09:16] Having to do additional steps to make the system show what's going wrong or right [09:17] Necrosporus, I know there are some breakages in Ubuntu 11.10 I can't say much for 10.04 LTS though. [09:17] but at least all that ugly computer stuff would go away most of the time when the system is working properly. [09:17] My skype doesn't seem to pick up my internal microphone - I can record and playback successfully using parec and pacat. I'm running KDE on Lucid (but no answer on #kubuntu or #pulseaudio). Skype configured to use pulseaudio for everything, no other options showing. Suggestions? === joo is now known as Guest76877 [09:17] How to do a find on lots of zip files using a directory in the content as the identifier (then I want to delete the zip once identified) - Any help appreciated [09:17] RobbieCrash, that "ugly computer stuff" is not making anything bad, while the splash does [09:19] Necrosporus, Maybe you haven't found the right boot splash? [09:19] No, the ugly computer stuff is bad on my eyes, and I'd rather have a pretty screen most of the time. If there's a problem I can look at it, but usually there's no problem. I like it this way.

[09:21] * Humbedooh mumbles something about stupid friggin american keyboard...>_> [09:22] Hello, is there a way to delay the sound that comes through the speakrs in ubuntu? [09:22] RobbieCrash, the most of problems happen in early times when the system is not configured, therefor, the bootsplash should be disabled by default at first few boots at least, than if there was no problems at last few boots and critical system components was not changed, it may be enabled back [09:23] iceroot I installed my gta san andreas with wine and know when i start it it only runs on 1024*768 half of screen and i have max resolution 1366*768 ?? [09:23] aBound, I do not care what is on screen if the system is working properly, there is no difference for me, but sometimes the system is not, there for I want to be rather able to see the problems immediately when I look on the screen [09:23] try #winehq wDNick [09:23] ok [09:24] Necrosporus, I'm not doubting your point of view but as others suggested some people like the boot splash. [09:24] sounds like your using ubuntu 11.10 and having drivers issue [09:24] Necrosporus, More or less it's personal preference. [09:24] ist this ubuntu server ,too? [09:24] I'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't [09:24] understand it is bad. This is why cars have a light that says "Check engine" not "Cyl4 misfiring, check timing and reset" [09:25] Most people just /don't/ want to know. [09:26] Necrosporus, It's the same thing with somebody picking firefox or google chrome personal preference. [09:26] :P [09:26] RobbieCrash: we don't control ubuntu here, this place is for support [09:26] hello - I just experienced a harddrive anomaly. when trying to access a samba share (external 1tb drive) on my mediaserver via windows box. Dialog I got said that share wasnt available or I lacked rights etc which was strange since I have been accessing this drive/share as recently as last night. I then accessed server using putty and then discovered that when trying to ls the drive reports 'ls: reading directory .: Input/output er [09:26] wDNick: sounds like an issue of the game [09:26] anyway I have some issues with kvm and public bridge setup [09:26] wDNick: i would also suggest #winehq and the appdb-site [09:27] ok so i can`t play it full scren and flawless? i am on #winehq [09:27] Seems that unity has some sort of performance/memory leaking issues. Having my desktop on for weeks at times makes it start to lag and animations get choppy, unity using 30-50% cpu all the time. doing unity --replace & resets it and everything is smooth again for many days. [09:27] Anyone noticed similar? [09:27] i used the public bridge guide from the site and the setup is not working. My vms can ping the lan but the lan cant ping the vm [09:27] red: i guess a bug-report about that issue when you can repdrucue it is a good idea [09:27] its like the routing is missing something [09:27] !bug | red [09:27] red: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [09:28] RobbieCrash, that is valid for commercial crap like windows and macos, MS want to make people pay for the system so it tries to defeat them from the first look, not caring much about the experience after continuous use. GNU/Linux is rather the system to do what the users want instead of making them pay for it [09:28] So it should not follow bad tendencies of making pretty looking crap [09:29] every time I move 125 gb my computer os freezes [09:29] Necrosporus: gnu/gpl has nothing to do with free as in free beer [09:29] any one know how to fix that? [09:30] twilightstar: one file with that size? what filesystem? [09:30] mostly videos [09:30] natulius I guess [09:30] I am using ubuntu 11.10 [09:30] Necrosporus, Each Linux distribution has different design goals. Sure they all use the Linux kernel and might make a few mods to the kernel to fit their needs and other user needs. But vastly it's usually all the same for a few minor differences. [09:31] I'm hoping it is doing the job and simply isn't freezing on me [09:31] that I can handle [09:31] hi [09:31] is this still being argued, it's not on-topic at all [09:31] Even Android's core is running on the Linux kernel.

[09:33] iceroot it is severl files that add up to 125 gb.

[09:39] how to uninstall a package which i have installed from ./configure and make and make install [09:40] Necrosporus, Most distributions people wouldn't even bother using as it's a time waster. [09:40] I have problem with menu. My Ubuntu is 11.10 when i open menu i haven't games, browsers, only files... this problem in USER menu. [09:40] <_serial_> sudo apt-get autoremove nameofpackage samba35? [09:40] samba35: I think make uninstall or make remove will [09:41] no i have not installed package from apt-get [09:41] aBound, I want one without stupid shiny stuff which only add problems, but with all the tools which actually make the life easier [09:41] Necrosporus, As I said a few minor differences: package managers, older/newer packages, a few mods to the kernel. Usually, documentation exist for some of them. [09:41] <_serial_> you can still remove with autoremove [09:42] like package manager with dependency control and one-click (or one easy command) wi-fi setup thing [09:42] Necrosporus, With Linux usually you'll either get stability with older packages or instability with the latest/greatest. [09:42] I have problem with menu. My Ubuntu is 11.10 when i open menu i haven't games, browsers, only files... this problem in USER menu. [09:42] Necrosporus: sles, rhel, unbreakable linux, ucs are all GNU/Linux which are not free as in free beer, so gpl does not mean "free as in free beer" [09:43] Necrosporus, I doubt such a distro exist. Though would be nice. [09:43] <_serial_> leonid_: i would reset gnome -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/how-do-i-reset-gnome-to-the-defaults [09:44] Necrosporus, Newer kernels can also break the system same with newer packages.

Why not to drop shiny stuff from some existing distros? [09:45] <_serial_> leonid_: once done logout and back in again and all should be well [09:45] for example from ubuntu [09:46] Actually, ubuntu already lost first place on distrowatch, because of unity stuff [09:46] Necrosporus, Wouldn't make a difference because 11.10 uses the latest packages and a newer kernel newer packages usually contain instability issues. So getting rid of the shiny stuff will still cause the system to break. [09:46] Necrosporus: then use another distro then ubuntu [09:46] A newer kernel could also break the system in itself. [09:47] Necrosporus: if you have a technical support-question, feel free to ask here, everything else goes to #ubuntu-offtopic [09:47] Necrosporus, Newer isn't always better. [09:47] Necrosporus: if you are missing features on ubuntu, feel free to open a bug/feature request [09:47] iceroot, I actually find _superflous features_ [09:47] Necrosporus, I used 10.04 LTS and it has a far better stability track record than 11.10 but has older packages and most of those newer ones I have to grab from some repository. [09:47] Yeas, that's true [09:48] aBound: +1 [09:48] But i'm talking about shiny stuff and unity [09:48] Necrosporus, Unity will be fixed more or less in 12.04 LTS. [09:48] Necrosporus: what about using kubuntu, xubuntu, lxde if you dont like unity? what is your point int his suppor-channel? [09:48] aBound: it' broken? [09:48] Necrosporus, The reason gnome 2 was stable is because of it's long-term track record. [09:49] i like xubuntu but can i use a better file manager? [09:49] airtonix, It was broken on a reinstall. [09:49] 1476 users on irc.. wow :) [09:49] oh ok [09:49] airtonix, Even when using unity --replace it broke unity and couldn't much be fixed. [09:49] airtonix, But those were on my older installs. [09:49] aBound: i wouldn't know i use gnome-shell instead [09:49] Necrosporus, Compiz tends to have breakage in 11.10. [09:50] can i use nautilus in xubuntu? [09:50] aBound, Xfce and KDE4 is not as good as gnome2. KDE 3.5 was better than gnome2, but... you know [09:50] airtonix, I use gnome-shell on the side too but went back to Unity. [09:50] xmannn: sure [09:50] Hey 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.

[10:29] airtonix: it might have nothing to do with unity, but the fact is it's not in Ubuntu 11.10 anymore [10:30] DamienCassou: it is, because i'm using 11.10 now.

[10:34] DamienCassou: you mean "what meta tags do i add to the .desktop text file?" [10:34] airtonix: exactly :-) [10:34] DamienCassou: that's a good question, i wish i asked it [10:35] airtonix: when I do some modifications to the desktop file, do I have to restart the session?

You may wan tto check askubuntu.com the forums and the bug reports. it may be a known issue [11:53] yeah, its a known issue :) [11:53] A_J: there is also a #kubuntu channel in case you'd like to try there since it's KDE-specific [11:53] hi everyone.

[12:03] A_J: With another user, that is [12:03] abhinavmehta: no idea on that.. i would think it very rare for a system to be using LILO these days. [12:04] theadmin: umm, is there no other way. i need to be online on both profiles. Genome had a switch user feature [12:04] abhinavmehta: theres also Grub1 , grub2, and even syslinux :) that could be used. [12:04] A_J: Depends on your display manager, nothing to do with XFCE... [12:04] its 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] theadmin: any idea how i can set it up. [12:05] I'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] A_J: Not really, I don't do crazy things like that. [12:05] lol it's not crazy theadmin. [12:05] eirikhm: 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 corrupted [12:05] yes, I know…in that situation I'll fail with error. [12:06] theadmin: been there, done that. [12:06] but I want to support at least the grub1, grub2, and lilo [12:06] I think it's just the reported size that is wrong (608MB vs downloaded 60.8MB) [12:08] eirikhm: 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 help [12:08] guys..isn't there some os-config file where info about active boot-loader is stored..? [12:08] abhinavmehta: not that ive ever noticed. [12:09] abhinavmehta: you could be booting a redhat system from a ubuntu managed bootloader also.. or other weirdness [12:09] do i really have to start qemu using `sudo` when using TAP / bridged networking? i can't get around permission problems... [12:10] yes..thats true…but there should be some config-file or something…from where the os takes this information..right..? [12:10] abhinavmehta: The OS doesn't deal with the bootloader at all. It's quite the exact opposite. [12:10] 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)? [12:11] ahhughes_: that could work. but the upstart scripts SHOULD have settings to wait for networking tobe up. [12:11] agreed dr_willis - chances of me stuffing them up are high [12:11] theadmin: --force-yes does not do the trick either. Guess I'll do it manually then.

[12:12] ahhughes_: from what i recall of upstartt scripts its just like a 'requires (networking)' or similer line. [12:12] ahhughes_: if its even using an actual upstart script. [12:12] abhinavmehta: The one which is in MBR will be loaded, that's all. [12:12] dr_willis, there is also a disclaimer that scripts have not gone final. [12:12] abhinavmehta: if both are installed, (which im not sure is possible) then either one could be the actual bootloader. === Guest47699 is now known as Marcio [12:12] theadmin: so you mean…I should read the starting addresses of my disk…to find boot loader info..? [12:12] Hi everybody [12:13] theadmin: just trying to make myself clear..? [12:13] hypothetically, 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] abhinavmehta: dare we ask what your script is doing that it needs to mess with a systems bootloader? === Marcio is now known as Guest11947 [12:13] abhinavmehta: Uh, I'd rather check which bootloader is installed package-wise. I doubt installing two of them is even possible. [12:14] theadmin: its possible…I did on this my VM-instance. [12:14] thats how I came into this situation. [12:14] dr_willis, sleep 15 works.. that'll do me :) [12:14] ahhughes_: unless your networking is slow to respond. :P [12:14] abhinavmehta: Hm, okay, well this is a mess...

(i.e. both x32 or x64) [13:18] it is possible to have a command linestyle $ xchat connect #tangostudio , or something like that? [13:19] theadmin: damn. ok stupid me.

[13:30] haha im trying to teach myself shell language [13:30] ANYWAYS, anyone know why a clean install of Natty woudl be using all of 4GB or RAM and 50% of a 16GB swap partition? [13:31] Resistance, :s [13:31] try the system monitor [13:31] oomjos: you could always put #!/bin/bash at the beginning of your script file... define the interpreter that way [13:31] Gentoo64: CLI envirionment, not local [13:31] top [13:31] you have nothing open? [13:32] nope, just booted it up, no processes other than basic services and nginx [13:32] so either a process is hiding itself... or i need to reinstall the OS again [13:32] i wouldnt reinstall [13:33] Resistance, have you done a memory check? is that still offered on the install disk?

[13:34] theadmin: i know that Linux eats up the cache [13:34] Resistance: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ - this might explain it [13:34] Resistance: Ah, okay [13:34] Pici: yes, because is there a reason half my swap would be used in addition to 4GB of RAM (16GB Swap partition)? [13:35] Pici: the GNOME System Monitor (Natty) shows RAM at 100% usage, and Swap at 50% [13:35] well thats just crap, i bearly use 250mg of ram out of 2 gig. so that is not true either. [13:35] never had this happen before :/ [13:35] its all in set up as well. [13:35] How do i install LXDE without all it's default applications [13:36] ChangeOfHeart, try sudo apt-get install lubuntu [13:36] ChangeOfHeart, on a normal ubuntu install? [13:36] Resistance: Take a look at the page linked, its a good read about linux memory usage. [13:36] ChangeOfHeart: Well, apt-get install lxde (rather than apt-get install lubuntu-desktop which pulls other crap) [13:36] Will that work for other desktop environments such as kde and xfce? [13:36] theadmin, lxde is what i use as well. [13:36] Resistance - free | pastebinit [13:37] Also how do i turn off all these damn connection notices [13:38] ChangeOfHeart: For kde, it's "kde4", for xfce it's "xfce4", for E it's "e17" I beleive. [13:39] so kde4 and xfce4 will install without their default programs ? because i already have full ubuntu, i don't want to triple up on everything [13:39] ChangeOfHeart, i run lxde off the kde install. [13:39] ChangeOfHeart, it should just install the desktop [13:39] is there a channel for kubuntu? [13:40] beyondcr, yes #kubuntu [13:40] beyondcr #kubuntu [13:40] ChangeOfHeart: apt-cache depends xfce4 will show you what other packages it will bring with it. Compare that with xubuntu-desktop [13:40] ChangeOfHeart, if i was going kde id use the default apps though as they look different (qt) [13:40] thanks [13:41] hello all [13:41] hi hi [13:42] !salutations [13:42] how can i install all packages pulled in by a metapackage except a big one i don't need? [13:43] c0rnel: i would suggest to set the big package on "hold" [13:43] iceroot, how can i do that [13:43] c0rnel: man dpkg there should be a section about hold [13:44] does anybody here know if I can get in touch with the Ubuntu Software Center development team? [13:44] iceroot, thank you very much [13:44] c0rnel: may i ask what metapackage you mean? [13:44] apol: #ubuntu-app-devel or #ubuntu-devel, but keep in mind that the latter is a working channel, not a support channel. [13:44] iceroot, it's a custom metapackage, not present in the repos [13:45] c0rnel: ok [13:45] Pici: noted, thanks! [13:45] thank you [13:45] c0rnel: you could also patch the metapackage so you dont have "hold-packages" but i guess the hold-method is much easier [13:46] c0rnel: also you can just install the metapackage and then remove the packages you dont want [13:46] c0rnel: but reinstalling the metapackage (e.g. update) will pull the dependencies again [13:46] iceroot, i'm trying to avoid wasting resources on that big package i don't use anyway :) [13:47] c0rnel, i think there is a way you can set it to never update too...i think its in them pages as well. [13:48] my (pretty new) computer boots very slow; I see the purple empty screen for more than a minute until the ubuntu logo appears. dmesg shows a gap of 64 seconds in which nothing seems to happen. what can I do to debug this further?

I am trying to upgrade a computer from 11.04 to 11.10. I'd like to keep some packages that the upgrader wants to remove (gnome2, just for a while, while I test the new options). So, I ask: can it be done ? Can I do the upgrade manually for increased control ? [13:53] ok... so in the default I have no xorg options?

[14:03] TermNL: not sure how a makefile works exactly but I'm assuming it's like any other script? in which case I'd think #!/bin/bash at line 1 would tell shell to execute /bin/bash as the shell for your script === Youri is now known as Iruoy [14:03] Negat1ve-Zer0: http://pastebin.com/wRxE811q [14:03] ok thanks [14:04] Negat1ve-Zer0: Yeah I was hoping that too.

[14:06] TermNL: can you explain to me what that' [14:06] i dont speak italian check ur bot lol [14:06] s supposed to be doing [14:07] thanks for italian channel...just added [14:07] like dunno what @echo $(SHELL) is [14:07] As far as I know it is used to access variables. when I run them commandline (on my /bin/bash shell) I get some excpected output [14:08] for example if you want your shell you can just do echo $SHELL [14:08] $SHELL is a system variable, which, in a makefile canbe aaccessed through $(SHELL) [14:08] I'm not too [14:08] "good" with makefiles either [14:09] TermNL: 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 command [14:10] when you run it what do you do, make Makefile? [14:10] I suspect it's not actuially executed as a shell script [14:10] i do: make testshell [14:10] yea, I'm thinking that too...so #!/bin/bash at line 1 is prob not what you want [14:10] !ot [14:10] #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!

[14:28] GirlyGirl: I see, well, if I were you I'd write a custom one that would add the resolution you want [14:29] olive: that's right, you should be able to do that from a terminal in unity...there's probably better ways, I'm not expert [14:30] leeds27, Yeah. I'm actually using it now. :) [14:30] lol, stick with it is my recommendation, I couldn't stand unity [14:31] hi guys , yesterday i added a cronjob but it didn't exectute...

Ping the server? [15:21] open up a terminal [15:21] Frusciante: its a defacto command, works in all modern OSes === puff`` is now known as puff [15:21] type "ping [servers_ip_here]" [15:21] Frusciante: in a terminal run: ping -c 4 server [15:22] all right [15:22] omg im lost in the forums how do i create a new post [15:22] so how are you on irc if you have a problem with xchat Frusciante? also are you a rhcp fan [15:23] blitz, I used to be able to connect to several servers now I can only connect to one. And yeah [15:24] ActionParsnip, all right, do you want me to paste the results? [15:24] Frusciante: "and yeah"? that's not a sentence. [15:24] my first guess would be that there is a problem with your xchat settings themselves [15:24] Frusciante: no, just let us know if it pings successfully [15:25] I have a laptop running 10.04.3 LTS that will only show lo for an interface when running ifconfig -a, it was just working the other day, not it is not, I have looked at /etc/network/interfaces and validated auto eth0 is in the file [15:25] ActionParsnip, sorry, what addressing blitz' question about RHCP [15:25] ActionParsnip, 186ms? [15:26] that means you can connect to the server [15:26] well that's odd [15:27] Frusciante: cool, you can hit the resver :) [15:27] Frusciante: what server is it? [15:27] irc.omgwtfhax.net was the one I was testing, but there's several [15:27] whenever I try to connect it says Unknown Host [15:27] open up a new server tab in xchat, and type /server irc.omgwtfhax.net === sipior_ is now known as sipior [15:28] That's what I've been doing [15:28] it worked a while ago but now it's saying [15:28] * Looking up newserver [15:28] * Unknown host.

Is there a way to have this default to the mysql user? === sipior_ is now known as sipior [15:33] ksoo: set that in fstab in the options section using uid, gid etc [15:34] ksoo: change the owner/group on the filesystem (once it's mounted) [15:34] the directory permissions don't count once it's mounted, those are taken from the mounted FS [15:35] woo hoo first post to the forums though i think i may have added it to the wrong sction [15:35] so anyone interested in the script once the admins ok it will be in tutorials&tips [15:35] Frusciante, if you're only having the issue through xchat with certain servers I'd assume there is some problem with your xchat settings and what that server allows [15:35] you could probably google it [15:35] Frusciante are you klined from the server [15:36] thanks ts2, that did it [15:36] I can't imagine it, since it's multiple servers that I'm having a problem with shaneo [15:36] yeah well ive been having the same issue with EFnet [15:36] cant connect to any of the servers via psybnc [15:37] since 2 days ago [15:37] irc.PRISON.net says im trojan infected lol [15:37] Anyone able to help me get my Samson C0U1 USB microphone working?

[15:38] happens with my built in mic all the time [15:38] Kentrel: what apps have you tried it in? [15:38] shaneo, have tried that [15:38] ActionParsnip, Audacity, and tinychat [15:38] a_p3rson: you can uninstall the old kernels to clean up as well as free up space [15:38] hmm way over my head than [15:38] a_p3rson: install synPTIC [15:39] ActionParsnip: how so? with synaptic? [15:39] AND YOU CAN get rid of almost everything [15:39] :) [15:39] a_p3rson: if you can give a pastebin of: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image- I can advise [15:39] Kentrel: is it set as the input device?

[15:46] ActionParsnip: nah, just one [15:46] so I installed 11.10 on my soon to be media center and the 3.0 kernel does not work, its hangin up on the powerbutton. how to turn off power management [15:46] astartoth: try: localepurge may help [15:46] i'm already running localepurge [15:47] i've specified 2 ip addresses on eth0, but how can i tell ubuntu to use one or the other? [15:48] Any idea why a .cpp file would end with ^@^@^@ over and over again? A source package won't compile, and it looks like the end of one of the source file has been clobbered by that string instead of a sane and complete function. [15:49] anyone else having issues with the 3.0 kernel? === omen is now known as Guest98552 [15:49] snarkster: Nope. What issues are you experiencing? [15:50] snarkster: works well here [15:51] русские люди есть [15:51] sskalnik: perhaps it uses an odd encoding/charset [15:51] snarkster: even 3.2 works ok in Precise here [15:51] Hello [15:51] !ru | Guest98552 [15:51] Guest98552: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [15:51] astartoth, I've hit the same thing in 10.04 and I did manage to correct most of the problems but some applications still display in my native tongue and it's just irritating - I'm not used to that. Ugh, never should have played with localisation settings [15:52] ts2: But why would the rest of the file be just fine? [15:52] how i can mount blanck dvd on ubunutu 11.04, case i'm trying tou mount /dev/scd0 ithout succes [15:52] 11.10* [15:52] kimbraa: why would you mount it? [15:52] ActionParsnip: for growfsiso use [15:53] kimbraa, a blank dvd contains no filesystems, thus it cannot be mounted [15:53] kimbraa: you mount filesystems. blank optical media by definition has no filesystem. [15:53] so what device is responsible for dvd in my pavilion dv5 [15:53] /dev/scd0 ? [15:53] sskalnik: hard to say, encodings are strange things. in some, ASCII characters are left as-is, but other characters are multi-byte [15:53] kimbraa: /dev/sr0 but as mneptok stated, you don't mount empty dvd [15:54] ts2: Yeah, but why would the encoding change in the middle of a function definition? It seems like something else is afoot. [15:54] kimbraa: sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive will tell you [15:55] who_me: it's annoying all right. anyway we can limit the number of locales generated on a dpkg-reconfigure locales? [15:55] ok so it just hangs up.. when i tried recovery mode it stopped at the pwrbutton and went no further.. so I assumed it has something to do with acpi [15:55] sskalnik: 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 can [15:56] snarkster: if you unload the sound module, does it work ok? [15:56] astartoth, I do not remember what I actually did to get things in check :) Read some guides on google that cured most of the issues I had [15:56] can anyone here help with printer sharing between linux and windows? [15:56] funny thing is i can boot it with the previous linux version and it starts up just fine [15:56] ciao [15:56] ts2: Yeah, it looks more like corrupt data. [15:57] right now its running the 2.6 kernel or whatever was installed by default in 11.04 [15:57] Why i dont have /dev/dvd or cdrom in device dir [15:57] maybe editing /var/lib/locales/supported.d/ [en local pt] .... [15:57] in previous distro was there i think [15:57] gudeve fellas [15:57] hello [15:57] hi [15:57] a lot of en locales on dpkg-reconfigure locales [15:57] are generated [15:58] I look for a GUI hosts file manager with automatic updates and possibility to subscribe to external blocklists - something like Hostsman on MS Win [15:58] so am i correct in my assumption that it has something to do with acpi? [15:59] Quick question: How do I stop losing connection when I put the computer to sleep? [16:00] why i cant connect to my localhost using opensssh [16:00] p3terp4n: Remotely or locally? [16:00] it always refused my connection to port 22 [16:00] locally only [16:01] "ActionParsnip: snarkster: if you unload the sound module, does it work ok?" how does that stop the 11.10 from booting? [16:01] is there a way to tar and gziped just 2 files in a directory together [16:02] geekbri: tar czf your.tar.gz file1 file2 [16:02] snarkster: the shutdown still waits for sound to stop, sometimes the sound modules can get stuck [16:03] ActionParsnip: thanks, i was thrown off by the fact that it wouldn't let me tab complete the names of the files :) [16:03] ah but it can boot into previous versions... different module [16:04] anyway im having issues with burning cds at the moment so I took 10.04 upgraded all the way to 11.10 and this is where Im at. [16:04] even mythbuntu hangs up, can install or run live [16:04] snarkster: what apps have you tried burning with? [16:04] geekbri: check your bash_completion then, it should complete [16:04] its hardware, my burning is bad. [16:04] burner even [16:05] brasero?? [16:05] question... why is the eject not working anymore in ubuntu? [16:05] Gorilla_No_Baka: can you unmount ok? [16:06] yeah yeah... that;s not a problem... when i press the eject button (i am running ubunut on a macbookpro) it does work.. IN UNITY.. however both in unity and in gnome shell the eject command does not work\ [16:06] yah it wont read either, this is on my laptop not the media center.. I created a usb stick using ubuntu startup disk creator [16:07] try live cd gorilla [16:07] I've got an old xbox controller with a usb adapter and I want to remap the buttons. How do I go about this? [16:07] livecd? [16:07] Gorilla_No_Baka: probably because "some process" is using the device, but the hardware eject button sends a signal to those processes to release the device [16:08] more like somebody messed around with the eject command [16:08] when i use the stick on my laptop it works just fine, but will not on the media center. media center spec. 2gig fast ram, 3 gig proc nvidia card.. nice system [16:08] Gorilla_No_Baka: no, eject won't eject it if something is using the device, this is unchanged [16:09] ts2: ?? what eversion of ubuntu you're using,>> both 12 and 11 the eject command won't work.. [16:09] Hi. something killed my desktop (No more app-switching, that is, unasable at all. Can I restart it without killing the running apps? [16:10] Gorilla_No_Baka: Kubuntu 11.10, eject works for me, so it's "some process" [16:10] Faralla yes you can! [16:10] how?

[16:13] I can print a test page from windows 7 to my linux mint 12 machine locally attached canon printer, but I cant print anything else , just test pages. Does anyone know why? [16:13] dsdeiz: press F3 and type the serach term [16:13] p3terp4n: It does restart, but only to the same corrupted state [16:13] I think it searches all columns dsdeiz [16:14] mneptok: yeah tried it. i tried searching for 'htop' as my keyword but repeatedly pressing 'f3' doesn't highlight the htop process row [16:14] wat happen? [16:14] dsdeiz: it matches as you type [16:14] nvm just command [16:14] it does? [16:15] yeah, it should highlight it in blue [16:15] dsdeiz: yes. look at what is higjlighted once you type in the "htop" search parameter [16:15] ok well thanx for listening I have to run.

[16:25] sudo /home/joseph/script.sh [16:25] running ubuntu 11.10; i'm trying to change my name servers. /etc/resolv.conf appears to be re-generated on re-boot. 1) how do i permanently change my name servers? 2) if i want to cache name servers on my box for faster internet access how would i do that? [16:25] oomjos - and what is in the script - pastebinit [16:26] ok [16:26] oomjos: make sure it's executable, "chmod +x /home/joseph/script.sh" [16:27] arooni-mobile: it's set every time you connect to your network, you need to edit the settings via network manager to make them take effect every time [16:27] I see my problem guys In the first line of script I have..."#!bin/bash instead of "#!/bin/bash" [16:27] missed the forward slash [16:27] oomjos: you will need to put ./ before it so the interpreter look in the pwd [16:28] I know. I see now! [16:28] What is PWD? [16:28] present working directory [16:28] oh [16:28] oomjos: run it, you'll see [16:28] well second line of script is sudo chmod 700 /home/joseph/script.sh ????

[16:30] so i take sudo away? [16:30] So I take it away? [16:30] oomjos: what does this script *do*? patebin it. [16:30] oomjos: it's not needed, in order to run the script, it must be executable, so what mneptok said [16:30] hi ! what CMS (content management system) do you recommend to use for a small site ? [16:30] oomjos: You shouldn't blindly run things with sudo if they don't need it.

[16:32] bash: /home/fig/bin/ls: cannot execute binary file [16:32] thats the message I'd get without using sudo [16:32] arooni-mobile: then you'll need to edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf so it'll be applied for all networks [16:33] ts2, that ges regenerated daily doesnt it [16:33] ActionParsnip, sure but it might just be a generic ubuntu problem, i'm not sure [16:33] What does chmod do?! [16:33] oomjos: you need to read that more carefully. [16:33] ok [16:33] jac0bx: still not supported here [16:33] What is chmod [16:33] uh [16:33] whys that [16:33] jac0bx: because you are using backtrack [16:33] just curious [16:34] which is based on ubuntu 10 [16:34] !backtrack | jac0bx [16:34] jac0bx: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [16:34] oomjos, google chmod [16:34] ah, there we go :) [16:34] ts2, after i change that how do i get networking to restart so that it will use the new name servers?

[16:37] oomjos: te file extension is moot in Linux [16:37] oomjos: you can call it hello.scripttooutputstuff and it'd still work [16:37] Then i go to console and type /home/joseph/script.sh??? [16:38] oomjos: sure, as long as the file is executale [16:38] arooni-mobile: use the "host" command to resolve a DNS name, and see how long it takes. host can also take a nameserver option so you can test each one at a time [16:38] it says permission denied!! [16:38] :( [16:38] arooni-mobile: I'd probably just go with OpenDNS though [16:38] oomjos: file executability and the top line, makes it a script. Linux doesn't use file extensions [16:39] Anyone have any idea why I'd all of a sudden get a "bash: /home/fig/bin/ls: cannot execute binary file" at terminal startup after the latest update.

Because its coming up automatically when I'm starting terminal and now I'm having issues working with simple scripts [16:49] ts2, ok [16:50] tlf: can you pastebin output of "/bin/ls -l ~/bin" pls. or check if there are more files in ~/bin named as important systemfiles [16:50] tlf, do you have your own 'bin' directory in your home directory, or it's an error ? === as456fgt is now known as dury [16:51] llutz, http://pastebin.com/djkt23H8 [16:51] fzapp, I only see one bin in the home directory [16:51] tlf: lsb_release -sc [16:52] i'm trying to debug why my wireless intenret seems so slow on my laptop running 11.10 when on my phone it works blazingly fast. i tried using google and open dns name servers [16:52] llutz, oneiric [16:52] tlf: were does this ~/bin dir or those links come from? thats a copy of a limited env using busybox [16:52] tlf: looks like maybe you were playing with building application on an embedded system, like ARM, and it got messed up [16:53] tlf: "mv ~/bin ~/bin.bak" [16:53] llutz, I'm not messing with busybox at all.

(ubuntu 11.10) [17:08] BaseBallBoy2, depends on what you want to connect to. Just the fileshares or also authentication? [17:08] authentication [17:08] ActionParsnip: dd only does mirroring, and what is rsync??

I have a problem with my Ubuntu. I try to share internetaccess on Ethernet 0, and it keeps connecting up and down all the time? [17:35] MonkeyDust: Thanks I'll give that a read. [17:35] www.wikileaks.org everyone here should join and support [17:35] I have no leaks to contribute [17:35] I've tried to switch the ethernetcables, so internetaccess is made on Ethernet 1 instead, but with the same resault :-( [17:35] freenodiz: Please stay on-topic. This channel is for Ubuntu support only. #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic chatter. [17:36] !ics | Jon_new [17:36] Jon_new: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [17:37] That's the steps i've done.. in the GUI [17:37] Hey guys, i'm havign some problems with sharing net connections [17:37] I've been following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [17:37] and I've done everything it's asked in the GUI metod [17:37] Pici, no worries, i just think that everyone should know about www.wikileaks.com [17:37] I've selected "Shared to other computers" under IPv4 settings, and it keeps cykling "connected" "disconnected" about every second [17:37] holy shit this guy has the same problem [17:37] Nanor please [17:38] Nanor: control your language here, please [17:38] Oh, sorry! [17:38] Hm, since Nanor and Jon_new have the same problem I have a reason to assume that either the guide is outdated or it's a bug in network manager [17:38] (vi XOR emacs) + GUI = ? [17:38] makara: gvim [17:38] epod: I [17:38] theadmin: really? [17:38] makara, also emacs has a gui version as well [17:38] makara: Yes, it's the official GUI version of Vim :D [17:39] makara: emacs has one too iirc [17:39] makara, theadmin emacs-x11 [17:39] TheAdmin: It worked well in 10.04, i used that as a server, and got a new computer today which had 11.10 preinstalled [17:39] Thanks guys for the help, I figured out how to connect to the domain finally [17:39] I moved over the networkcard from the old server, so the machine get two networkcards [17:39] epod: I'm sorry but I can't find the files on my computer or the site in any of my bookmarks. I do think it was the guy lilstevie who wrote a quick mac shell script that would give you the Transformer's serial number [17:39] Mine worked fine before I did a fresh install today [17:39] hiyaz [17:40] tj2: I'll check Xda-developers, if such a thing is floating around, it'll be there. Thanks! [17:40] Both networkcards work well when connected directly to the ADLS modem, and provides internetaccess.. both networkcards end upp rotating "connected" / "disconnected" when i try to share internet on it [17:40] epod: Good luck. Sorry I couldn't help more [17:41] Nanor: Did it work well on 11.10 before, or did you upgrade to newer Ubuntu as well? [17:41] is their any anti-abortion kind of ubuntu? [17:41] john_69 wrong channel [17:41] It seemed to work on 11.10 when I upgraded the dist through update manager [17:41] like festive fetus [17:41] But this is a completely fresh install using the link on the ubuntu site [17:41] john_69: please don't post that nonsense here [17:41] And it now doesn't work [17:41] john_69: if your aim is to troll, move on. [17:42] Is anyone running gnome 3 on 11.10? [17:42] Im on unity now and I think im gonna try g3 [17:42] From what I understand tune2fs is set to auto check using fsck every 30 boots. I've been looking at the man pages for tune2fs and thus far I don't see an option to tell it to have no prompts and to auto fix. Anyone know how to do this?? [17:42] Nanor: You run Unity? [17:42] Yeah [17:42] Me too.. [17:42] guys, you should try out gnome 3 [17:43] Plustax: You think that would sort our network problems? [17:43] No. [17:43] Most definitely not. haha [17:43] plustax if you mean gnome-shell yes, i'm on it, unity is built on gnome3 if I remember correct. Just another shell [17:43] Oh... Darn :-) [17:43] Skummel, which do you prefer? or which has more/better features? [17:43] TheWarden: tune2fs could set interval/mountcount for checking to 0, but thats dangerous. it cannot change fsck-behaviour, you have to fix boot-scripts to make it not asking for anything [17:43] I am apt-getting gnome-shell right now. [17:43] tj2: Found APX mode device Chip UID: 0x388920944212117 Detected SBKv2 - I assume this means no nvflash? [17:44] I have a HD-ready TV conected to the HDMI output of my Ubuntu machine. Problem is that Ubuntu keeps 'thinking' that the resolution 1370xblablabla is the best one to be used. So after a reboot it jumps back from 1920 to 1370 until i manualy change it again. How do i FORCE it to stay at 1920 after reboot? VGA = ATI 5450HD. [17:44] Jon_new: So we have identical problems then? [17:44] plustax gnome-shell. but i liked gnome 2 better then both [17:44] Gotcha [17:44] How can I make Chromium scroll up and by down by moving the mouse when I middle-click? Similar to "general.autoscroll = true" in Firefox [17:44] HI I am running ubuntu 10.04 and I want to install windows 7, what is the best way to dual boot? [17:45] llutz: well I don't wish to turn off the checking just rather have it auto fix and not to prompt for a response. However if I can't do that then I guess I have no choice to turn it off. Where would I look for this in boot-scripts? [17:45] just put the disc in after creating a partition for it in gparted, newtothis [17:45] newtothis first windows, then ubuntu, or your grub will be ruined [17:45] I have gnome-shell version 3.2, can the time that notifications stay poped up at the bottom of the screen, can it be set? on my desktop they seem to go away very quickly, while on my laptop they seem to stay up until I clink on them. [17:45] MonkeyDust, I thought they fixed the grub issue [17:46] plustax, if I make a partition with gparted then will it mess up the grub? [17:46] TheWarden: /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh maybe some other scripts in /etc/init [17:46] how does rc.local work? [17:46] what does "cp: cannot stat" mean? [17:46] epod: Yeah, as far as I know only SBKv2 was the updated version that prevented nvflash from working correctly [17:46] diverdude: It means it can't find some file [17:46] newtothis problem with installing windows is that it will install it's own mbr. [17:46] if i put a script in etc/init.d/ will that load automatically before login? [17:46] epod: Sorry, I meant to say only SBKv1 could use nvflash [17:47] xubuntu5: no [17:47] newtothis so you have to reinstall grub after installing windows, you can do it from a live cd. [17:47] tj2: bother. Well, i can chroot I suppose. [17:47] xubuntu5: Not exactly, you have to write a script in a specific style and make sure it's added to proper rc dirs [17:47] Would up tables work for our problem? [17:47] ip* [17:47] can i use rc.local? [17:47] llutz: mmm I don't see a checkfs.sh on this system. [17:47] thanks theadmin and ts2 [17:47] xubuntu5: you can, but it depends on what you are trying to do [17:47] skimmel, would any live cd work, and how can I do that [17:47] say i want to start x11vnc before login how would i do that? [17:48] or mount drives before login [17:48] TheWarden: grep -i fsck /etc/init/* (sry, i'm on debian here) [17:48] how do you change the default system browser in ubuntu? [17:48] hey, is there a good horoscope app for ubuntu? a quick apt-cache search didn't yield anything, but maybe someone knows a good one [17:48] xubuntu5: 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 work [17:48] there's no way to start x11vnc before login? [17:49] llutz: oh okay, interesting I found something in /etc/init/mountall.conf mmm [17:49] hello everyone, is there a way to not-install any de while installing ubuntu? something similar to the tasksel thing in a debian installation that lets uncheck the de thing.. [17:49] question: I have ssh-client 5.3 installed on 10.04 and want 5.9 from "precise", how do I get ahold of that? [17:49] is the only way to bzr and compile it? [17:49] fourlastor: sudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo tasksel remove ubuntu-desktop # :P [17:49] fourlastor: Or, use the minimal install CD [17:49] !minimal | fourlastor [17:49] fourlastor: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:50] theadmin, thanks, that's what i was searching for! [17:50] looks like i'll use fstab thanks i just edit that file? [17:50] and no way to get x11vnc running before login? [17:50] Newtothis windows will need to be installed on the first partition [17:50] i assume that no one knows this? [17:51] Well thank you, i wasn't looking for anything but that link is helpful [17:51] i come from debian but now i have a new laptop and i have nvidia optimus.. : \ [17:51] fourlastor: ew [17:51] how do I get the installer to fetch a preseed file from a url? I'm installing from the 10.04.3 server iso, pressing f6 and adding auto url=myserver to the boot params, but it never fetches anything [17:51] yeah, really ew [17:51] vfw, I already have ubuntu installed and I dont want to lose the data [17:51] Is there any way to disable /dev/input/mouse0 in ubuntu 10.10? [17:51] xubuntu5: well X isn't really started until you login, so you can't run a VNC server on it. but you can just edit fstab, though there's probably a GUI for it somewhere... [17:52] does anyone know how I would go about getting ssh 5.9 on ubuntu 10.04? [17:52] anyone know the gui for fstab?? i used pysdm and that seemed to be it anything like it?

It's running Natty. I'm thinking I'd like to upgrade it to Oneiric. Is there a handy set of instructions? I just have shell access to it. [18:15] I'm thinking I could just edit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:15] What if my script is in a directory??? [18:15] Then do an "apt-get dist-upgrade" or something..... [18:16] om26er [18:16] like home/MyName/scripts [18:16] oomjos then first go to that directory [18:16] Wad: maybe something like sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [18:16] Oh PWD [18:16] Myname/script.sh [18:16] pwd /home/MyName/scripts [18:16] \o/ [18:16] sh scriptName.sh???

[18:19] xubuntu5: should work, but you need to have a working X11 session (even if it is at login screen) [18:20] xubuntu5: yep... but it may be a security breach on your server if you do [18:20] oomjos: 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 path [18:20] is there something like CPU-Z for Ubuntu (11.10)?

[18:31] breaking news!! the iso image IS NOT optimized for flash media!! [18:31] titanes: optimized? [18:31] optimized? [18:31] so it really is a FAUX LiveUSB [18:31] xubuntu5: :) [18:31] titanes: this isn't France [18:31] resio: lol [18:31] plustax: If you haven't, mark it as affecting you as well [18:31] titanes: do you have a question here? [18:31] xubuntu5: this could be the beginning of a beautiful amicableness [18:32] h00k, okay I will [18:32] yes that's right optimized: /dev/sdc on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro,noatime) /dev/loop0 on /rofs type squashfs (ro,noatime) [18:32] h00k: as a matter fact I do [18:32] after using ubuntu for a few minutes i am getting intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP ... messages on dmesg [18:32] and the computer is unusable [18:32] is there anyway to fix this? [18:33] titanes: moving on... [18:34] I boot the FAUX LiveUSB, install a bunch of stuff, firefox add-ons, changed settings, customized here and there... And guess wtf happned next time I booted the FAUX LiveUSB??? [18:35] titanes: Everything dissapeared. Duh. [18:35] titanes: control your language here, please [18:35] Did you setup persistance [18:35] I mad as heaven!! [18:35] titanes: 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] stop saying FAUX [18:36] it's french for "I'm annoying" [18:36] titanes: calm down or take a time out. If you just came to rant, you better do that somewhere else [18:36] agreed [18:36] bjweihe`: how to turn on persistance?? [18:36] titanes: that all depends on the installer in which you installed it on your flash drive [18:37] titanes: if you use unetbootin, it's fairly obvious [18:37] bjweihe`: I used dd [18:37] titanes: You should do a real install. It won't work with a livefs. [18:37] dd would not be the most suitable tool for that [18:37] titanes: dd works but without any persistence, obviously, since it turns your USB into what basically is a CD drive. [18:37] titanes: i like LiLi USB Creator === max is now known as Guest95962 [18:38] titanes: but yea nothing beats a real install [18:38] titanes: its hard on a flash drive to run a whole os [18:38] Nothing stops you from doing a real install to a USB stick, either. [18:39] I use gentoo for real install. [18:39] this is just a quick, temporary solution. [18:39] I have a Linux setup on an external drive which works just fine. And since that's hardly any different from a USB stick, well... That will work, too. [18:39] basically I need YET ANOTHER usb to... [18:40] will there ever be a time when LiveUSB are flash optimized? Meaning designed from scratch for flash storage? [18:40] titanes: 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] Yea but putting an OS on any external drive that isn't meant for such things will deteriorate their speed and life time [18:40] I have no OS working. [18:41] o.o [18:41] titanes: That's uncool. Oh well. Anyway, the point is that you must perform a real install. [18:41] titanes: Otherwise everything will dissapear, sadly. [18:41] titanes: how'd you get on IRC [18:41] reisio: thats what i was thinking [18:41] reisio: irssi? [18:42] Hello all, please help: how do you get wget to spit the full URL in a GET request (by default wget will obmit the 'domain' part of a GET URL. Thanks. [18:42] mm.. I don't get it using the liveCD [18:42] titanes: irssi usually runs on an OS [18:42] then I type /j #ubuntu [18:42] mrmermaid: what? [18:42] reisio: LiveUSB. [18:42] when you do wget [18:43] look at man wget [18:43] and look at the GET URL it creates in the HTTP request [18:43] you will only see the part after the domain [18:43] for example if you do wget http://example.com/a.exe [18:43] it will only put /a.exe in the GET URL [18:43] w/wc [18:43] this is ok for most web server [18:44] but somehow the M$ download refuse to play [18:44] must be some sort of flag to add domain [18:44] can you help me with a parameter/a tool that put a full URL in the GET ?

[18:48] titanes: tutorials abound online [18:48] titanes: the key word is 'persistent' [18:48] webroasters: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/crop/#extent seems to be what you want [18:48] titanes: as said already, unetbootin can give you a small persistent storage area [18:48] /dev/sdc on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro,noatime) /dev/loop0 on /rofs type squashfs (ro,noatime) <-- this be retarded on flash storage. I want to avoid it. [18:48] the left bar on 11.10 [18:48] titanes: all you actually need to do is install to the USB disk, Linux doesn't really care where you install it to [18:49] reisio: why small? I got 8GB flash. [18:49] titanes: that is small [18:49] @trism: THanks!! I appreciate it!! [18:49] I'm not sure unetbootin actually sets a limit [18:49] lol [18:50] does ubuntu use lightdm? [18:50] or gdm? [18:50] there is no option to kill that left autohide bar on 11.10 ... or how do I downgrade / upgrade to something that is usable ? [18:50] think gdm [18:50] xubuntu5: mainline, current Ubuntu uses lightdm now [18:50] older versions use gdm [18:50] thanks [18:50] kubuntu uses kdm [18:50] xubuntu probably uses lightdm, not sure [18:50] thanks [18:50] what's the difference between display-setup-script and greeter-setup-script in lightdm? in the lightdm.conf [18:50] they were probably uses gdm previously as well [18:51] lubuntu I'm not sure [18:51] I am confused, use unetbootin to use the ISO image onto the flash drive or do a regular install targeting flash volume? With the latter will grub be able to self boot? [18:51] nounity| TransistOp [18:51] !nounity| TransistOp [18:51] TransistOp: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [18:51] even in the presence of other drives? [18:51] just use LiLi USB Creator [18:51] titanes: to Linux a usb drive is the same as any other drive, if you want to you can do an ordinary install to one [18:51] reisio: what about the grub part? [18:51] titanes: if you want a _live OS_ with some extra persistent storage, use unetbootin, etc. [18:51] thanks MonkeyDust [18:51] titanes: exactly the same [18:51] xubuntu5: Well, I guess I'll look for other ways / look at the wget source code, thanks [18:51] no extra tweaking? [18:52] nope [18:52] hello everyone anyone point me the right direction [18:52] a drive is a drive is a drive [18:52] interesting, I will try it then. [18:52] welcome mrmermaid too bad that didn't help [18:52] titanes: You want this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [18:52] titanes there's CCSM in the repos and a PPA for MyUnity [18:52] hi. with firefox in Lucid lynx following rapid release cycle as stated here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2012-January/001544.html , will thunderbird will also follow this process ? === bruno is now known as Guest62766 [18:52] how can I remove proposed kernels? [18:53] #livemocha [18:53] ongolaBoy: I can't imagine it would be otherwise [18:53] o_0 [18:53] ongolaBoy: upstream is matching versions, AFAICT [18:54] I want to uninstall kernel version 3.0.0-15 and just keep it at 3.0.0-14 [18:54] help? [18:55] ongolaBoy: Possibly yes. That's more of a question to ask from the Mozilla team, really. [18:55] why does a USB flash need syslinux to boot? [18:55] theadmin: ok, thanks [18:56] hasenj boot in recovery mode ( old kernel ) and remove 3.0.0-15 ? [18:56] hasenj: so just remove 3.0.0-15, you should still have 3.0.0-14 [18:56] titanes: Does not *shrug* I use GRUB and it works just fine [18:56] yes, but how? [18:56] ts2 indeed [18:56] hasenj: with the package manager [18:56] theadmin: can you point me to the exact link u used to create ur LiveUSB?? [18:57] hold shit @ boot and choose the old kernel in grub [18:57] Hello. I have a problem with compiz "Place window" plugin. I have a rule for pidgin (match string is "class=Pidgin"), but its roster opens on the current workspace instead of specified one. 'xprop WM_CLASS' for the roster window returns 'Piding'. Also note that chat window opens on the correct workspace. Any ideas? [18:57] this doesn't seem right --> Partition 1 : FAT32, full size of stick minus 750M [18:57] *shift [18:57] nor deos this --> Partition 2 : FAT16, 750M (FAT16 because older versions of syslinux don't like FAT32) [18:57] which package? [18:57] persistance will take up the space your set it to [18:57] its a file full of zeros [18:57] I tried to tell it to remove linux-image-3.0.0-15-generic but it said it will remove linux-generic too [18:57] titanes: I can't link you to the info in my brain, sadly :D [18:57] hasenj: disable -proposed first, then update the package list [18:58] I did disable proposed [18:58] ok [18:58] then update the package list, and remove the newer kernel [18:58] you don't have to boot into the old kernel to remove the new one [18:58] Is there a unity-specific channel? [18:58] What's the command to determine which package contains a given file? [18:58] I put the following in my fstab file: \\mycomputer\sharepath /sharepath cifs credentials=/etc/credentials,soft,intr,auto 1 3 , but it does not get mounted automatically for some reason at boot [18:59] sskalnik: dpkg -S filename [18:59] <3 [18:59] sskalnik: or use http://packages.ubuntu.com (quicker) [18:59] Vinzent: No, questions are to be asked here. Unity is a Ubuntu-only project anyway. [18:59] this had worked on other linux distributions without issue, but for some reason on Ubuntu I have to manyally mount it [18:59] which filesystem is best for flash drive OS? [19:00] btrfs? [19:01] still wants to remove the linux-generic package [19:02] When you first install ubuntu, there is a list of packages that it has and you have a choice to install them. How can i open that list in terminal again once the install is complete [19:02] !find qrcodec [19:02] does ubuntu's grub use udev device or block id?? [19:02] theadmin, well, then I'll try to ask later again [19:02] Package/file qrcodec does not exist in oneiric [19:02] usb device number is bound to change. [19:03] titanes: Just look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg. I suggest using uuid or labels. [19:03] theadmin: that's no automagical? [19:03] *set [19:03] titanes: I dunno what Ubuntu does, I haven't used it since 10.04 [19:04] theadmin: LAWL!! [19:04] what are u doing here then? [19:04] titanes: Having fun like the rest of the community, lol [19:04] i seem to be having issues.. my laptop freezes here and there. and dont seem as fast as windows , i have a i3 any ideas [19:04] sskalnik: or apt-file [19:04] titanes: Many people that are here often are not Ubuntu users whatsoever [19:05] like me [19:06] anyone know if the "ftp" command uses active or passive connection? [19:06] sskalnik: also, I was looking at http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.37/utilities/kqrcode/0.6.0/src/ a while ago, and noticed in the slackbuild that they install qrcodec.h before doing the build, so perhaps this is a bug in kqrcode? [19:06] is there a way to increase the area surrounding a window where you click the cursor and drag to enlarge the window? 11.10 is too sensitive. [19:07] i seem to be having issues.. my laptop freezes here and there. and dont seem as fast as windows , i have a i3 any ideas [19:07] sskalnik: see line 89 in the slackbuild [19:07] trism: Yeah, looking at the same thing here. [19:07] hi all [19:07] hey guys, something seems to be wrong with my ununtu here. I click software centre and it says please reinstall software database package. and also update manager wont find anything, says check internet conenction [19:07] ok ppl, tell whether this is possible [19:08] titanes: define "this" first. [19:08] what's the minimal space for ubuntu install?? [19:08] titanes: Standard is around 5 gigs. [19:09] I will try to do this off a single 8GB flash drive, since I have 7.3GB un-allocated. I got room to play. [19:09] trism: got the file from http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/sourceforge/k/project/kq/kqrcode/KQRCode-dev/kqrcode-dev-0.6.0.tar.gz [19:09] Built successfully XJ [19:09] titanes: Well... Might want one partition for live and other for the install but I dunno if that will even work [19:09] i seem to be having issues.. my laptop freezes here and there. and dont seem as fast as windows , i have a i3 chip any ideas === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [19:09] trism: Where would I file a bug for this? [19:10] theadmin: which filesystem would it be best for flash storage? [19:10] go8765: r you reading? [19:10] titanes: Not sure. ext2 probably because it has no journaling. [19:10] anyone able to help me? [19:10] :( [19:11] ext2 sounds so antiquated [19:11] guess not. === jack_ is now known as jack_lunch === jack_lunch is now known as jack_^ [19:11] sogeking99: you could try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall software-center" in a terminal [19:12] c5.ah.yahoo.com:80 [19:12] i seem to be having issues.. my laptop freezes here and there. and dont seem as fast as windows , i have a i3 chip any ideas [19:13] bc_: driver issues [19:13] owenll: You want "--reinstall install", rather. Anything after "install" is parsed as a package name, and there certainly is no package called "--reinstall". [19:13] is there A i3 driver [19:13] i have the mx15 alienware. [19:13] is it possible to defragment a flash drive? If I install ubuntu on the unpartitioned spaced the delete the first LiveUSB partition and merged with the real install the OS would be starting at 700MB mark. I want the OS to start at 0 byte on the flash drive. [19:14] bc_: idk just go in Administration > Hardware Drivers [19:14] bc_: if you have a desktop [19:14] laptop [19:14] bc_: processor isn't your issue, possibly your video device driver/s [19:14] assymetric space allocation doesn't feel right. [19:14] bc_: no i mean a screen === Youri is now known as Iruoy [19:14] using the nvidia recommended driver [19:14] bc_: cause not all people have a "Desktop" as in a "GUI" [19:14] titanes: what now? [19:15] bc_: do you have a nvidia device? [19:15] i wasnt payin attention sorry [19:15] theadmin: thanks - out of interest does he need reinstall at all or just sudo apt-get install software-center ? [19:15] yes [19:15] eventually when I destroy the ISO partition I want to have a single /dev/sda [19:15] owenll: I'm not so sure. [19:15] sdX [19:15] titanes: that isn't a fragmentation issue, but a partition issue [19:15] theadmin: thanks for correcting anyway ;-) [19:16] titanes: gparted/parted can fix that if you need to resize; if you only need to make a new partition table, try cfdisk [19:16] anyone know if and where i can get a .deb of libimobiledevice2 for 10.04? tried out natty in a vbox but it didn't resolve my issue of being unable to transfer songs into iphone. =s [19:17] ffuuuuuu!! [19:17] ... [19:17] ^ [19:17] Ok, here's another problem: I have laptop with touchpad and I want 2-fingers tap to emulate middle-button click. I've installed synaptik. Now if I call 'synaptikcfg init' it works as expected, but after re-logon I have to call it manually again to make it work. The strange thing is that I have 'synaptikcfg init' in my Startup applications (it was added by the synaptik itself). What could be the problem? [19:17] hi folks; trying to set up dnsmasq; but when i i just type dnsmasq i see: "dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address already in use" any ideas on how to proceed? [19:17] sskalnik: I'm not sure, couldn't find a bug tracker, but it seems it is already fixed in the git at 1474fc 'Moved plugin header back into main tree' [19:18] forget it, i'll get an emergency $10 8gb flash drive [19:18] brb [19:18] Maybe I should add it to .bashrc...

[21:52] bean, wait am open the paste bin so that am sending u the link [21:52] there 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 case [21:52] visual1ce: to a vbox guest no it won't matter [21:52] so which do you recommend? [21:52] what the host sees the guest can see [21:52] Thanks allot for your time go8765 [21:53] visual1ce: as I said, if you want to be able to connect and use this external USB drive with _random Windows installs_ you'll want NTFS [21:53] visual1ce: using usb drive for backups is bad idea IMO. they gonna die someday [21:53] visual1ce: I'd recommend NTFS if you want to ever be able to use from windows. [21:53] wildwind, repeat again i didnt get u [21:53] visual1ce: otherwise I'd go with ext [21:53] wildwind: it's not a flash drive [21:54] i was thinking of getting a nas but its overkill for my needs [21:54] reisio: then it's ok. I'd use NTFS [21:54] visual1ce: indeed [21:54] what is zerofs? [21:54] 3TB is quite respectable [21:54] visual1ce: zero, or zfs? [21:54] ummm...? [21:55] bean, this one http://paste.ubuntu.com/798703/ [21:55] this? http://www.qdecoder.org/wiki/zerofs [21:55] kasii: can you do that, but now as you're shutting down and it appears to be not shutting down [21:55] I'd recommend getting over your Windows addiction and just using ext... [21:55] But that's just me... [21:56] zfs [21:56] or is zfs mainly for raid?

[22:02] just a quick question: in ubuntu 10.04 there was an option to encrypt the whole harddisk during install. 11.10 just offers me the encrypted homedir option. is there a way to encrypt the whole harddisk? [22:02] i think there is only zfs-fuse [22:02] whats the best option for running an os inside of ubuntu just to test it out? [22:02] ubluntu: use virtualisation [22:02] kasii: I can't help you. Sorry. [22:02] !virtualization | ubluntu [22:02] ubluntu: 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 applications [22:02] ubluntu, virualization software: for example vmware or virtualbox [22:03] ubluntu: VirtualBox is the "simplest", kvm is the best (assuming egrep 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo returns something) [22:03] bean, do u have books or tutorials concerning java cause am student in java and i want to be a java programmer [22:03] do i have to do anything special for a drive so large (3tb)? [22:03] ubluntu: or um, virt-manager if you want a GUI for kvm [22:03] for ntfs or ext? [22:03] visual1ce: it's probably already NTFS [22:03] visual1ce: yes, you need to use gpt partition table [22:03] think i'll give virtualbox a shot [22:03] kasii: you should read the logs. probably you'll find cause of your problem there [22:03] ubluntu: virtualbox is tight! [22:03] it's certainly better than vmware [22:04] uhm, I am using unetbootin to download kubuntu and install the iso on a usb drive so I can install it on my netbook [22:04] visual1ce, you need to use a GPT partition table [22:04] leontopod: okay [22:04] should I choose a "live" distro?

[22:22] !derivative | wingnut2626 [22:22] !derivatives | wingnut2626 [22:22] wingnut2626: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [22:23] wingnut2626: never heard of it.. so if you have general linux type questions.. see #linux, or see if that disrto has its own support channels === K1rk_ is now known as K1rk [22:23] Ok thanks! [22:24] * dr_willis would be leery of a disrto called 'backdoor' linux === Youri is now known as Iruoy [22:24] anyone can confirm upowerd going to 50% CPU usage when on battery? i use ubuntu 10.04 === kent_ is now known as kent_asdf [22:24] Benkinooby, why not upgrade to 11.10 ? [22:25] Hopefully there will be some major work on the power ussage in the next release. [22:25] dr_willis, yeah, its considerably worse than win 7 [22:26] yumbo, 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 :( [22:27] dr_willis, are you refering to my problem? [22:27] Benkinooby, although I would't recommend it, you could try to force-install a new version of upower [22:27] Benkinooby: theres been all sorts of power issues in the last 2 releases. some are due to kernel issues. [22:27] I'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 fixes [22:28] craigbass1976, basically impossible. [22:28] Benkinooby, for example from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/upower [22:28] dr_willis, that's what i read too so far... that the kernel is spamming messages e.g. [22:28] yumbo, i also saw people reporting that problem on oneiric [22:29] Seveas, phaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAA! Thanks though. [22:29] dr_willis, do you know how to see "how much" reporting the kernel does? [22:29] i can't see anything in dmesg [22:31] Benkinooby: not really looked into it much the /etc/sysctl.conf has some settings on level of messages [22:31] Benkinooby: ive tweakdd that file to reduce the # of spammy messages i get on theconsoles/dmesg output [22:32] dr_willis, just curious, whats your "uptime" ? [22:33] dr_willis, fun fact: when the laptop is connected to power, upowerd is calm... only when on battery, upowerd starts to consume so much CPU [22:35] Benkinooby, I would really give the oneiric version of upower a try [22:35] it's weird that i only see this issue in nautilus with subdirs within a particular directory. [22:35] :d === kevin is now known as Guest39977 [22:35] yumbo: 17:35:42 up 11 days, 4:39, 2 users, load average: 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 [22:36] Hello, looking to get speech recognition running, mainly for word processing, but maybe also browsing, any suggestions for programs in the repos that will do this? [22:36] yumbo: this is my headless 'znc' server === Guest39977 is now known as Skeme [22:36] dr_willis, ive been trying to get cpu-usage down as much as possible on my server [22:37] dr_willis, stopping X is about the most I can do though [22:37] ohhh there we go. needed the execution bit [22:37] :D [22:40] any way to clear out utmp without rebooting? screen crashed and now w is confused as to how many users are logged in [22:42] wildwind, [22:42] wildwind, still repeat the same action [22:43] how can i overwrite built in hotkeys like alt f11 for maximizing windows? [22:43] <[Ex0r]> hmm, is there a wubi installer for 10.04 ? [22:43] i believe so [22:43] !ics [22:43] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [22:44] <[Ex0r]> the wubi installer I got from ubuntu.com only installs 11.10, but i'm looking for 10.04 [22:44] [Ex0r], any specific reason you're looking for 10.04 ? [22:44] xubuntu5: change it in your windowmanager [22:45] thanks heinz i'll look into it [22:45] <[Ex0r]> yumbo- Android development, the android sdk has the most compatability with 10.04 [22:45] yumbo: its LTS. and still has all the old stuff [22:46] <[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 cool [22:46] i know there's an offtopic, and a beta/alpha/whatever ubuntu+1 channel, but what about an advanced topics channel? [22:46] [Ex0r], wubi doesnt let it run alongside windows simultaneously [22:46] <[Ex0r]> What does it do, just install it to the bootloader for you and let you choose when you boot up? [22:46] [Ex0r], it just install ubuntu to a windows ntfs partition and adds a bootloader to windows MBR [22:47] <[Ex0r]> yumbo- So than the same thing that installing from the cd does [22:47] <[Ex0r]> or can do* [22:47] but with lower performance (ntfs < ext4) [22:47] [Ex0r], if youre only using it for development, just run ubuntu in a vm in windows [22:47] <[Ex0r]> So than it's just best to vm it and install iso [22:48] <[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 stuff [22:48] are there any linux alternatives to the Mac/Windows audio sequencer called "Reason" [22:48] hi whats chanal for ubntu fr [22:49] <[Ex0r]> thank you yumbo [22:49] ok, 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 charm [22:49] hitman, #ubuntu-fr I think [22:49] BUT, I just got a message from her saying "will this thing work with my wifi printer? I have a CD" [22:49] I don't think that CD is going to work, cause it is meant for Windows [22:49] thx [22:50] leontopod, probably won't work [22:50] so how do I get Ubuntu on a notebook computer working with a wifi printer? === flack is now known as flack-Z [22:50] leontopod, best bet is to google the printer model (or just get a cable from printer --> pc) [22:50] usb cable [22:50] right [22:50] dr_willis, yumbo thank you two for your input... i will go to bed and look at the problem an other time again [22:52] yumbo, 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] leontopod, there is a chance [22:54] leontopod, you have the model? === lili is now known as oolala [22:55] leontopod, 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 linux [22:55] I 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? [22:56] hmm [22:56] * tommylommykins is running 11.04 [22:56] It appears that both unit and ubuntu classic are happening at the same time on my desktop [22:56] any idea how to get rid of this? [22:56] unity [22:56] leontopod: my networked wireless printer works fine [22:57] ok [22:57] I just texted her asking for the printer model [22:57] leontopod: just configure cups to access the printer.. depending on the kind of printer it is.. the fact its wireless.. dosent matter [22:57] cups, ah, ok [22:57] I just made new partition for ubuntu and I can't see it from windows, why is that ? [22:58] hateb: because windows cant read ext2/3/4 or other linxu fs by default [22:58] hateb, that's because Windows doesnt support the partitions Ubuntu uses by default [22:58] can I make that visible somehow ? [22:59] is there a reason why google-chrome sometimes gives me a big white blank window which cannot be removed unless i restart unity? [22:59] !ext2 [22:59] !ext3 [22:59] ext3 is the default filesystem on older versions of Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [22:59] guys, I think i found some bug in ff. can anybody test it with me ? [22:59] hateb: try that driver at fs-driver.org but i have had windows crash while using it.. and mess up my linux files.. [23:00] Good afternoon. [23:00] Evening, I should say. [23:00] will do, thanks [23:00] go8765, explain your bug, maybe it is worth a bugreport. [23:00] cose now I have win invisible 200 gigs [23:01] Don't you guys think 2011 was a great year for linux gaming? [23:01] Oer, when i use noskript and try to make screenshot with avesomescreenshot addon - i have unexpected memory usage [23:02] I need help setting up a bash script to rename a log file (Minecraft log file, more specifically) and then schedule it wirh crontab. [23:02] Ohhh... this is a support channel, my bad. Sorry guys. [23:02] if i want to copy the contents into itself do i put the trailing slash on /var or /var.new ? [23:02] sudo rsync -av /var /var.new [23:02] go8765, most likely the addon-script is blocked, like it should [23:03] this fs-driver doesn;t work on win 7 ;s [23:04] Oer, so this is addons conflict? === user is now known as user6234234 [23:04] hateb, why would you want to access ubuntu files from within windows anyway [23:05] hateb, I always setup a OS partition and a data partition, data partition ntfs, so I can access the data partition in both Windows and ubuntu [23:05] go8765, yes, i suggest use a screenshot tool outside ff [23:06] yumbo: how large is your ubuntu partition ? [23:07] good night all [23:08] Oer, in linux this is hard :( I cant fing noone screenshot tool that can make screen of all web page :( shutter say some error in this moments :( [23:08] hateb, 28gb [23:14] how do i enable remote desktop on 10.04 [23:14] i dont see no options in system preference or administration [23:14] fellayaboy, http://www.google.com/search?q=enable%20remote%20desktop%20on%2010.04 [23:15] How do i delete a user and all his files, home folder etc? [23:15] fellayaboy, 2nd hit [23:15] diverdude: "sudo rm -R /home/user_name" [23:16] diverdude, only do this if you are sure you want to delete ALL files in /home/user_name [23:16] yumbo: that will not delete the user...only his homedir [23:16] diverdude, after that you can delete the user with: "sudo userdel user_name" [23:16] if I have a virtualbox os on 10.0.2.15 how do I communicate with that via ssh? this machine is on 10.10.10.5 [23:17] so i dont need to enable remote desktop...theres no option..that link didnt say zlech [23:17] ubluntu, ssh username@ipaddress [23:17] how does /etc/rc.local work? [23:17] thanks [23:18] yumbo: yea im not able to reach the vm os via ssh 10.0.2.15 [23:18] ubluntu, ssh -X username@ip/hostname will enable X too [23:18] can you ping the ip? [23:18] ubuntu, you may need to change your subnet mask so that you're able to access that IP address [23:19] yea thats what I thought. === Youri is now known as Iruoy === JoFo__ is now known as Jofo [23:22] diverdude, you can directly use "sudo userdel -r usename" which delete the user and its home folder (see "man userdel") [23:24] Hi 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] ubluntu: you can configure vbox where the vm appears on the same local lan, not its own private network also. [23:24] note that command-line reboot or ctrl+alt+1 and then ctrl+alt+del reboot the system just fine [23:24] dr_willis: yes how to do that escapes me though been looking @ the options [23:24] Wooksta: does it shutdown from the login screen? [23:25] dr_willis, no it just seems to sit there :S [23:25] ubluntu: 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] Wooksta: next step would be to try the shutdown command perhaps. [23:26] dr_willis: im using nat now, shall I use bridged mode ? [23:26] dr_willis, that works, but I would like to fix the issue so i can shutdown via the GUI [23:27] ubluntu: try it and see. i forget what one does what.. the vbox docs gives details. [23:27] hey can some one help me [23:28] palladin35y1: Don't ask to ask. Just ask. [23:28] I installed eclipse in /opt and now want to have it appear in the dock (not as a launcher icon). How can I do that? [23:28] does anybody know of a diagram of sound on linux that illustrates the relationship between the os, hardware, alsa, jack, etc.? [23:29] how exactly does rc.local work? [23:29] xubuntu5: 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. [23:30] or, er, maybe not rc.conf, but other more general rc's [23:31] what do you mean shared i amongst machines? i only have one machine [23:31] man -k isn't being helpful here [23:31] i installed lucid on my dell D610 laptop and after i updated i booted to a grub screen [23:31] xubuntu5: it's just a naming convention [23:31] so i make rc.local executable? [23:31] and put a script in there and that will run at bootup? [23:31] oh, are you talking about something specific? [23:32] rhizmoe, the question is, what are you talking about ? [23:32] xubuntu5, yes [23:32] i don't have an rc.local on my 11.10 machine, and so was speaking more to the general unixy sense [23:32] palladin35y1: And? [23:33] mea culpa [23:33] xubuntu5, as mentioned in the file, just make sure it ends with exit 0 [23:33] so 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] Your point? [23:33] hello, i have a problem with ubuntu live on a usb [23:33] got it will have exit 0 there [23:33] How did you install Lucid? [23:33] what do i do next ? [23:34] palladin35y1: Switch to another distro. ;) [23:34] Like I did. [23:34] once installed it on a usb pendrive, i restart the computer with the usb drive plugged in, but ubuntu won't start [23:34] Mageia. ;) [23:34] I have used Ubuntu before. [23:34] ok [23:34] it says "ERROR: no configuration file found" [23:34] Since 12.04 I don't like the appearance of it. [23:34] which distro you use [23:34] i'm trying with ubuntu 11.10, other OS won't work at all [23:34] There's no visible way of changing that appearance as well. [23:35] palladin35y1: Can we PM? [23:35] sure [23:40] i am trying to clean out my machine completely for gitolite files. Is it safe to delete these files: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1311922588 ? and are there more? [23:40] does anybody here use simon-listens? am having difficulty getting it installed [23:40] i run convert -scale 200x125 s.png s.png ...but it keeps resizing the image to a height of 75. anyone know why? [23:41] There is static coming from my recording source (mic). WHat i've tried so far: testing another mic (failed) and killing/restarting pulseaudio (failed). Any ideas? [23:45] Can I save the the iptables to the /etc/network/iptables [23:46] Has anyone compiled a list of important stuff to add to a fresh Ubuntu? [23:46] Has anyone figured out how to get electricsheep working with 11.10 yet? [23:46] how do you change emacs hotkeys [23:47] could someone tell me how i change the permissions of a folder to write? In this case i want to make the folder var/www writable so i can copy my websites over to ubuntu. many thanks. [23:48] kingfisher64 right click it and go to properties -> permissions i believe [23:49] bluezone - it's greyed out. It says i am not the owner [23:50] my gnome 3 desktop environment fails to load [23:50] kingfisher64, okay then you need to use chmod,, hmm let me think xD [23:52] bluezone - i wrote a test file to that dir in the command line using sudo command - however from my research into this i'd have to do this each time i want to write files into that dir (which is everyday). I just read this http://askubuntu.com/questions/46331/how-to-avoid-using-sudo-when-working-in-var-www/46371#46371 but being honest i didn't understand it. I'm v new to ubuntu - this is transferring my websites from windows7 to [23:53] Hey all... when trying to run a number of different software titles, I get this error: http://www.pasteall.org/28044 [23:53] kingfisher64, hmmm [23:54] kingfisher64, i havent used ubuntu in awhile either, but i would try chmod +660 somefolder (or chmod 660 somefolder) [23:54] not sure which one works but the try the first one first [23:56] kingfisher64, did it work? [23:57] Hi, whats the best and easiest way to change ubuntu theme ? [23:57] bluezone - not done it yet, i was just looking at what the full command line code would be. sudo chmod +660 (folder name?) [23:58] yeah hopefully :) [23:58] are clean today? [23:59] are we clean^ [23:59] it didn't work something about invalid +660 - bluezone [23:59] Hey guys. Do I need any thing else installed, except for blue-alsa, in order to use some BT headphones ?
