[00:00] Resistance: control = read if ubottu is providing the text/link i was thinking about [00:00] bastidrazor: you are right, I first leaened it by sudo su, and always forget, old habits, but you're correct [00:00] Resistance: and because that are all important infos it does not hurt to post them public (imo) [00:01] iceroot: this is why i privmsg the bot first to have it send me the factoids before i post em [00:01] what is the switch user command again? [00:01] anynickname: su [00:01] Resistance: way to much work.. :) [00:01] FluxD, yeah, make sure you have all your window functions and window decorator stuff checked to take up the void unity leaves behind. [00:01] iceroot: xD [00:01] anynickname: or su - username [00:01] anynickname: :) [00:01] what is good font like free mono but more compact? [00:01] !font [00:01] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ [00:01] ah, right, stupid question, in Debian, only using "su", you become root, also, only in ubuntu it does not work === jesus is now known as Guest96066 [00:02] go8765: profont, terminal [00:02] alkafoo: I'd be surprised if su would work in Ubuntu [00:02] w30, what would I have to enable to have just plain regular compiz is that a window decorator with emerald? [00:02] FluxD, otherwise you loose the abilit to change window focus with mouse and keyboard [00:02] !sudo | anynickname [00:02] anynickname: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:02] Myrtti: prepare to be surprised [00:02] anynickname: su ? [00:02] anynickname: use sudo [00:02] oh wait nevermind [00:03] anynickname: well Ubuntu doesn't have a root password by default, but you can still use su for switching from a user to another user whose password you know (which is what you asked) [00:03] you can do that? that bot thing, can I try any bash command with it? [00:03] anynickname: yes, but be careful [00:03] FluxD, I got one box running emerald and one with gtk-window-decorator [00:03] !factoids > anynickname ::look here for what ubotto knows [00:03] anynickname, please see my private message [00:03] alkafoo: I'm not thing of abusing the feature, but it's good to know it exists [00:04] w30, how do you make sure another wm takes over when unity is unchecked? [00:04] anynickname: sudo is not a bash command, bash commands are something different [00:04] alkafoo: well, plain su doesn't work :-P [00:04] anynickname: oh any command with the bot, misunderstood [00:04] ah, thank you very much [00:04] Myrtti: by default, indeed =) [00:05] FluxD, with gtk-window-decorator I have to put in my gtk window decoration by putting a line in the window decorator section of ccsm [00:05] alkafoo: thanks. i try dingbats. i think - its good) [00:05] alkafoo: yes, although I remember a few years back at least, there was a way of setting a root password, if you really wanted [00:05] hmm, update manager plays nicely with apt-get now, neat [00:05] go8765: ha [00:05] anynickname: yes, sudo passwd [00:06] alkafoo: not saying you should, just that you could, that's what I love about linux [00:06] indeed [00:06] How can i set phpmyadmin to be visible just on localhost ?! [00:06] alkafoo: we dont support setting a root-account here [00:06] w30, does gtk window decorator have anything to do with gnome 3 ? [00:06] the whole no root password bit is fairly peculiar to Ubuntu, though [00:06] I look safarii reader on my iPhone and want to read PDF books in that format on my iPhone but the best reader I can find is the kindle....do I need to convert a PDF to html and upload it to a server and then view it on a browser to get the safarii reader to work? [00:06] w30, also any tutorials I can follow to do all this [00:06] alkafoo: its also in debian (expert installation) [00:06] How can i set phpmyadmin to be visible just on localhost ?! [00:06] iceroot: what, the option to disable it? [00:06] alkafoo: its the same as ubuntu, no root-account usable, just sudo [00:06] how do i change system-wide fonts now that the Appearance options have been simplified? [00:07] iceroot: as opt-in or out? [00:07] where is ufw firewall installed at? [00:07] tony_: dpkg -L ufw [00:07] alkafoo: expert-installation, there it is like in ubuntu [00:07] tony_: "which ufw" [00:07] iceroot: I don't understand what you're saying [00:07] <_cb> just installed Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS. Is sudu apt upgrade the correct cli command to make it get upgrades? [00:08] FluxD, not that I know of; all the good knowledgeable help in here swear by Unity so they pretend to say it can't be done. [00:08] alkafoo: the debian expoert-installation is suggesting not to have a root-account, just to have a sudo user [00:08] iceroot: does it suggest it, or do it that way by _default_? [00:08] alkafoo: but that doesnt matter, important is, that we dont support/suggest activating the root-user [00:08] _cb: sudo apt-get update: sudo apt-get upgrade [00:08] w30, that sucks :( [00:08] does anybody know what to do when ubuntu fails to read the cdrom drive correctly? I'm having mixed results with this. Frequently i put a new cd in the drive and ubuntu just doesn't recognise that the cd has changed - onclick of cdrom drive it loads up the old files despite a new cd rom being present. [00:08] <_cb> bastidrazor thanks! [00:08] _cb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto this will help you also [00:08] iceroot, the one in the software center [00:09] kingisher64: only one cd drive? [00:09] where i can find the apache folder ?!?! [00:09] tony_: i gave you a command, not a question :) [00:09] FluxD, it's been making a swooshing sound for two years now. Ha [00:09] alkafoo - yep, it's a cd/dvd drive [00:09] kingisher64: ... just one? [00:09] DoctorD: the one for the html files? /var/www/ the one for the configs? /etc/apache2/ [00:09] yep [00:09] DoctorD: /etc/apache2 [00:09] w30: feature then =) [00:10] thx! [00:10] kingisher64: so the problem is with the file manager? [00:10] alkafoo: do you mind a pm quickly? [00:10] kingisher64: what about from a terminal: ls /media/whatever/ ? [00:10] BarkingFish: nope, why would I [00:10] iceroot: how can i find the path ffmpeg is installed? [00:10] FluxD, I am booting kubuntu and xubuntu trying to decide between the two, I still hav Ubuntu on a laptop. [00:10] because I've been taught to ask first :) [00:10] thanks [00:10] it reads the previous cdrom alkafoo [00:10] glioros: dpkg -L ffmpeg | grep bin, but it's almost certainly /usr/bin/ffmpeg (or just 'ffmpeg') [00:10] kingisher64: from a terminal it does? [00:10] glioros: "which ffmpeg" [00:11] BarkingFish: teaching, that'll teach you things every time =P [00:11] alkafoo: you can use "which" to find out the path for the binary directly [00:11] I recently downloaded and installed UBUNTU 11.10 I have audio but my microphone isn't being detected/ not working. Anyone have any sugguestions in how to fix this problem? [00:11] yep from the terminal alkafoo [00:11] Frozenpacket: have a look at "alsamixer" if the mic is muted [00:12] iceroot: considering its a vpn, it is possible he is missing a lot of the default $PATH [00:12] iceroot: not exactly what he asked is all, in my interpretation (obviously) [00:12] bastidrazor: vpn has nothing to do with a limited PATH [00:12] hi i just compiled my first kernel and installed it ^^ [00:12] iceroot in my php file i have this define('FFMPEGPath', 'ffmpeg'); //OR "/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg" and the path for the ffmpeg is /usr/bin/ffmpeg do i need to change it? [00:12] FluxD, /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator --metacity-theme CopperDeck --replace [00:12] kingisher64: that's pretty curious... what's the path? [00:12] iceroot: yes and it is no muted [00:12] Duality_: well done [00:12] glioros: yes [00:12] FluxD, (CopperDeck is the name of a metacity or gtk theme; substitute whatever feels good) (and you have it installed) [00:13] Duality_: why'd you do that? [00:13] Frozenpacket: also the booster is activated? [00:13] see if i could just for fun ^^ [00:13] iceroot: correct [00:13] iceroot: this is my final question. if you tell me how to change it you will be my best friend :) [00:13] had 2. something it's now 3.something [00:13] Frozenpacket: you are using skype? [00:13] was old laptop so no loss if it went wrong ^^ [00:13] alkafoo - what do you mean i'm new to ubuntu (3rd day) [00:14] w30, I put that in ccsm for window decorator? then uncheck unity ? [00:14] Duality_, yo momma is so proud of she gonna tell evryone. :D [00:14] iceroot: I am not trying to use skype no, I also installed Cheese and it doesn't show sound when i try to talk into the microphone [00:14] lol :) [00:15] Frozenpacket: i remember some problems with pulseaudio when the app is not using pulseaudio directly [00:15] Frozenpacket: but cheese should use pulse [00:15] Frozenpacket: maybe you can install "pavucontrol" with "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol" and check there [00:15] kingisher64: run the command 'mount' [00:16] kingisher64: find the /media/ path, tell us what comes after /media/ [00:16] might be more than one [00:16] iceroot: okay i will install that and let you know if it work [00:16] FluxD, you better get your window management checked before unchecking Unity like extra, maximumize, move, resize, scale, place, [00:16] iceroot: this is my final question. if you tell me how to change it you will be my best friend :) i changed it to "/usr/bin/ffmpeg" and it is still not work working [00:16] media/RS_APP, sda1, sda5 - alkafoo [00:16] iceroot: pavucontrol is already the newest version. [00:16] glioros: how're you determining "it" isn't "working"? [00:16] w30, I so hope you can document your setup on a blog or something for the unfortunates like me :) === Rene is now known as Guest28349 [00:17] Frozenpacket: ah ok good [00:17] kingisher64: RS_APP? Does that sound like a CD/DVD filesystem you've used? [00:17] Frozenpacket: have a look at it please [00:17] !work | glioros [00:17] glioros: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [00:17] Frozenpacket: may be gnome-aslamixer help you... run it and check checkboxes.. [00:17] kingisher64: what does it say to the _left_ of /media/ ? [00:17] !ping [00:17] another contentless ping... sigh... [00:17] bot that can't count, the irony [00:18] when making for web1 and for web2, how does apache know which one to map the request to? [00:18] #httpd [00:19] nothing. there is a just a v small graphic then the word media. if i hover over the graphic a back slash appears ( / ) alkafoo [00:19] ok so now notify-send seems to come out of gnome-shell and stays in that new system tray thing at the bottom right instead of a transparent bubble at the top right. it's kinda cool but ! i feel like i'm loosing control of my system. is there a manager that controls what display manager and desktop manager and what application is controlling fonts the F**KING FONTS is running??!? [00:19] Can any tell me how to run a ms xp program thats on cd in ubuntu?

[00:22] ubottu: i have sound, i just can't get the Microphone to work [00:22] Frozenpacket: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:22] DoctorD: Better to probably ask in #httpd [00:22] DoctorD: write a virtualhost entry which is only working on lan, also see #httpd [00:22] w30, what would you suggest I do to get a pure compiz session working and with the unity app bar on top and a window list panel of some sort [00:22] or #phpmyadmin [00:23] iceroot: well thanks for your time [00:24] alkafoo - absolutly positive. I've just put another cd in instead and it still hasn't refreshed the contents of the media/ [00:24] kingisher64: interesting [00:24] alkafoo - it's still reading it as the cd which was put in prior to the last one. it's like it can't refresh the content [00:25] kingisher64: and if you reboot and put a new CD in? [00:25] Does ssh support udp forwarding as well now? [00:25] Andrew131: does SSH even *use* UDP? [00:26] not sure. I can try that now. It's behaving so inconsistently i'm finding it hard to give answers with any degree of certainty. [00:26] It does claim to create a SOCKS5 proxy which does support UDP forwarding :) [00:27] alkafoo - it was behaving like this since the install - thank goodness I havn't had to install much from the cd rom drive [00:27] kingisher64: it'd be useful to know whether it persists through a reboot [00:27] I'd assume not [00:27] i'll reboot now [00:29] People seem to have come up with elaborate ways of doing udp for dns lookups (I suspect for SOCKS4) but I'm not looking to do voice traffic not DNS [00:29] how to find my server API key? i am runnin ubuntu 10.4 === Milos|Netbook_ is now known as Milos|Netbook [00:30] glioros: api key for what? [00:31] alkafoo - it didn't persist through a reboot. It's now reading the drive correctly. I'm going to install this then try another cd [00:31] I have a 64bit CPU, In Oracle's Virtual Box, I am trying to emulate Windows7 64 bit, and it tells me my CPU is not 64 bit capable, same thing happened earlier trying to emulate Yellow Dog 64 bits. Why it does not let me emulate? [00:31] Osmodivs: what's your processor? [00:31] Im gonna guess thats a negatory [00:32] Osmodivs: i seem to recall some bios settings also that can affect that. [00:32] alkafoo: http://pastebin.com/Udh8Knyg === nate__ is now known as guest_192834 [00:33] Osmodivs: doesn't have VT-x [00:33] dr_willis: BIOS settings, eh? I do not remember seeing that kind of option there, but I'll double check [00:34] Osmodivs: vbox is per default not using the vt-x features [00:34] alkafoo - i'm trying to install rosetta stone and the software cannot read the cd rom drive. Admitadly this is in wine, however i've had similar behaviour all day. Virtualbox was unable to read cd's placed in drive. I had to copy cd into .iso and mount to get anthing installed. [00:34] you won't have anything, as your processor doesn't have the hardware [00:34] Osmodivs: you have to enable them, also see #vbox [00:34] if you really want to use 64-bit guests, you might have to use vmware... [00:34] Osmodivs: and of course your cpu has to support vt-x [00:34] or qemu, but that'd be quite slow [00:34] alkafoo: Aw man.... I am gonna have to burn it to a DVD. [00:34] Osmodivs: burn what to a DVD? === Milos|Netbook is now known as is === is is now known as Milos|Netbook [00:35] Ive seen vt-x settings in the bios on some machines. [00:35] kingisher64: VirtualBox might need the extension pack for that, I forget; Wine might need winecfg reconfiguration [00:35] I am starting up a new company and I am at the point of buying cash registers,...etc. I have the computer hardware guys here that say they can install anything.... I just have to get the devices. What I need is a card reader for credit cards/debit and a barcode scanner. Does anybody know what website/company I could get these devices from? [00:35] not sure why you would want to turn it off. [00:35] alkafoo: The YellowDog LiveDVDE [00:35] dr_willis: most IME, but his processor doesn't have vt-x at all is what I'm saying =) [00:35] so there'd be no BIOS option [00:35] Osmodivs: ah =) [00:35] alkafoo: or it would be greyed out :) [00:35] Osmodivs: it'd probably be faster than using qemu or vmware, yeah [00:36] alkafoo: Ok...No virtual desktops for me :( [00:36] vmware, let me check [00:36] mmm, I wish BIOS things were that modular, IME they're very customized [00:36] but yeah I suppose it could happen === nate__ is now known as guest_3423 [00:37] core 2 duo without vt-x, seems odd [00:37] * alkafoo shrugs [00:38] alkafoo - i placed a normal cd in before, for ubuntu to read, no wine or virtualbox and it just didn't pick up the contents of the cdrom drive. Also I've had odd behaviour on the dropdown list on the login screen. First only ubuntu, ubuntu2d were there, then options for cairo dock - that's not odd, however as i just rebooted gnome was there as well. I was surprised this wasn't there the first time. [00:38] kingisher64: well, one problem at a time [00:38] lol [00:38] extra options appearing isn't really a problem!" [00:38] kingisher64: /media/ persistence problems are probably due to some udev/consolekit/whateverpeopleareusingthesedays mismatch/misconfiguration [00:39] how do i resolve this? [00:39] kingisher64: when lightdm got restarted it saw the new items. [00:39] kingisher64: well first try and update and make sure your system is all sane [00:40] alkafoo - well i'm barely that, so i doubt my system will be [00:40] heh [00:40] guys http://pastebin.com/SY9EUhQs ... At least one output file must be specified what that means? [00:40] still, _sometimes_ just applying updates can fix something [00:40] glioros: means it doesn't do anything on its own [00:40] it manipulates input files [00:41] right, that explains the start up issue most likely. I ran update, upgrade in terminal before [00:41] alkafoo: so thats the youtube converter in this site www.metatropeas.com is not working? [00:41] typical simplified ffmpeg usage: ffmpeg -i foo.wmv bar.mp4 [00:41] glioros: so what now? [00:42] alkafoo - do you have any terminal command suggestions that might be able to fix this cdrom problem? [00:43] I did a plain Ubuntu install on a system which contains a RAID, the OS is on a non RAID HDD now the system does not boot when any of the raid hdds are installed it marks the raid degraded and breaks the init nevertheless there is nothing needed on there and the system boots just fine when the RAID hdds are disconnected wtf is wrong? natty booted just fine [00:43] alkafoo: how to enable ffmpeg? [00:43] why does it do that? [00:43] glioros: there's no enable, either the script you're using knows where the executable is and has the rights to use it, and knows how to use it, or not [00:44] kingisher64: not really, but [00:44] kingisher64: if you reboot and then log out of X and drop to a TTY [00:44] alkafoo: i edit the php file to define('FFMPEGPath', 'ffmpeg'); //OR "/usr/bin/ffmpeg" and the path on the server is /usr/bin/ffmpeg [00:44] kingisher64: and then put in a CD and let it automount (if your system does that), then put in another CD and don't see the issue, then the problem could be with the GUI tools only [00:45] am i doing something wrong? [00:45] glioros: if 'ffmpeg' doesn't work try '/usr/bin/ffmpeg' [00:45] or else if you are unsure of the directory f you have ssh/terminal "locate ffmpeg" [00:46] anyone here familiar with zentyal? [00:46] so what to edit here define('FFMPEGPath', 'ffmpeg'); //OR "/usr/bin/ffmpeg" ??? [00:46] this is a line from the php file [00:46] sorry what's a TTY - alkafoo - lol [00:46] log out of a X drop to a TTY - he he [00:46] glioros: the second value in single quotes, " 'ffmpeg' " is meant to tell the PHP application where the ffmpeg executable is (if just 'ffmpeg' won't work for some reason) [00:47] glioros: so try , '/usr/bin/ffmpeg'); (assuming 'which ffmpeg' returns that) === root is now known as Guest32500 [00:52] I'm using 11.10. could someone help me install ghc 7.0.4.

[00:53] on my lucid computer and my maverick, everything is fine [00:55] kingisher64: I mean if the first time you mount something isn't from, for example, Nautilus, and you don't have the issue, then it could be nautilus that's to blame [00:55] something like that [00:56] Bennit: updatedb, then locate.

[01:05] it is an mdadm raid6 [01:06] just 1 HDD of the raid 6 connected makes my boot fail [01:06] even though the raid is never needed or used [01:06] doommaster, in what way? iirc, if one drive is missing, it should time out after a while and activate it degraded and boot, but if you only have one drive, you can't activate the rray [01:06] mmoebius: if I try to kill an arbitrary pid from a non-root user, "kill -15 pid" [01:07] I do not want it to be active [01:07] Anyway to set the Unity dash to be maximized when you click on it? I have that it acts like a pop-up. [01:07] mmoebius: just gives me a '>' prompt that just echos whatever I type unless I ^C [01:07] in prevoious versions of ubuntu the system would boot fine and mark the raid as degraded [01:07] now it just does not boot at all [01:07] Without any quotes at the comamnd line, that should work and *not* give a sub-prompt. Is your retuen/enter Key working correctly ? [01:07] doommaster, well, with one disk missing, it is degraded... with only one disk total, it is broken [01:08] yeah even broken it would boot fine [01:08] mmoebius: yeah. if I sudo -s to root, it works fine. [01:08] Hyve you tried a "new" Terminal and the "classic" Virtual Terminal Console (without X) ? === _jason is now known as Guest27895 [01:08] doommaster, and you don't have any filesystems on this raid array listed in /etc/fstab? === snfo is now known as natediddy [01:08] nope [01:08] fstab only contains / [01:08] mmoebius: er, nevermind. doesn't work like that for root either [01:08] the system is a clean install [01:08] s3raph: kill -15 is superficial, btw. -15 (Term) is the default. [01:09] just cinnect one RAID HDD and it fails to boot [01:09] doommaster, so what happens when you try to boot? with nosplash and noquiet preferably? [01:09] mmoebius: oh, rly? good to know... [01:09] I get tot he busybox promt [01:09] recovery mode [01:09] that is it then [01:09] doommaster, by the way, why are you running a raid6 on removable media and only connecting one drive? === binaryplease_ is now known as binaryplease [01:10] s3raph: so, just 'kill ' :-) [01:10] doommaster, what's the error that it gives when it drops you to the busybox prompt? [01:10] nope SATA HDDs only one DRIVE on an ahci controler [01:10] wait will reboot with the drive connected [01:10] s3raph: Besides that, I have no clue :-( [01:10] mmoebius: okay, so "kill 5125" just gives me a '>' prompt that allows me to enter stuff, but does nothing when I enter it [01:10] mmoebius: no? well thanks anyway... [01:11] rebooting with one drive connected [01:11] hi [01:11] alkafoo - well i logged out as as soon as i put the cdrom in, the login screen froze. I couldn't click anything. Restart required. There's something fishy going on here [01:12] s3raph: Usually, you get the subprompt isf you have lone quotation marks or end the current command line with \ that acts as a line-continuatiuon sign if alone ath the very end of aline, just befor the newline (return/enter) [01:12] mmoebius: yeah, it's weird... [01:13] s3raph: If you swear neither to use quotation marks nor a \ character, I am out [01:13] s3raph: Maybe you try another shell ? [01:13] try 'dash' for example. [01:13] mmoebius: yeah, but I don't want to leave bash... [01:14] s3raph: Just for testing if that behaves in the same strange way. Maybe your Terminal emulator is pulling your leg. [01:14] psusi: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ifUQXs9A3M8fxReCTQ0WZ1p73ZMgAg-pje6LKZcSjDo?feat=directlink [01:15] s3raph: At the bash prompt , just enter 'dash' and you're in (once) ... exit dash with "exit" or [01:15] s3raph: inside dash, try our kill command [01:15] s/our/your/ [01:15] psusi: the first lines are as the mdstat states was in older Ubuntu versions after boot with a broken RAID [01:15] ut the rest is new [01:15] mmoebius: looks very sed-like [01:16] Can anyone recomment software to periodically check if a list of websites are up and if not send out an email? (something like what hyperspin.com does)? === Guest27895 is now known as _jason [01:17] andornaut: First, define "up" ;-) [01:18] yea seems like you should write a shell script for something like that andornaut [01:18] psusi: the page before: https://picasaweb.google.com/110074557516559184630/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCKWix9-42LGCuAE#5696919772837285218 [01:18] it assumes that md0 is needed for boot [01:19] but that is not true [01:19] mmoebius: responds with an OK http status and maybe parse the data for some string. [01:20] haylo: I know. I'd rather not re-invent the wheel though - figure this was a pretty common problem, that might already be solved. [01:20] Is there anyway to have `touch` automatically create the directory structure if it doesn't exist? [01:21] tomw_: is there a -P or -p option. i rcall that with some other commands. [01:21] -P = make parents [01:21] <_jason> tomw_: with mkdir [01:21] I forget what command i saw that had that option. Might have been mkdir. [01:21] Yep, -p option exists for mkdir [01:21] I'll use that. [01:22] Thanks [01:22] does anyone have a problem where ubuntu locks up after running for a while? My computer is still on but the screen is black and keeps going into power save mode like it isn't hooked up [01:22] andornaut: do you ned software or a free service? http://www.uptimerobot.com [01:24] andornaut: Luckily, you can define up. Well, let the site parse something. Or get sontent from it. Email if not working. Think wget (or maybe wput for POST data) in a bash script something like wget -t3 -w3 -T5 -p -r -l2 http://examle.com || mail -s "Example.com is down" webadmin@example.com [01:25] andornaut: read man pages of "wget", "wput" and "mail" [01:27] doommaster, sounds like a regression in mdadm [01:27] yeah but why does it assume that md0 is needed? [01:27] that is BS [01:27] why would Gparted give me a greyed out option for extended partition? [01:28] metulburr: if its mounted/in use.. or you allready have an extended partition made. perhaps. [01:28] mmoebius: i have lots of sites to monitor, i'd probably write a quick script in python if i can't find a suitable OSS project that does the same. Thanks though :) [01:28] metulburr: Because it cannot schrink or expoand extended partittions [01:28] im on live CD [01:28] somsip: was hoping for software [01:29] andornaut: With a small for loop around it, that is like 3 lines bash; run e.g. by a cron job. [01:29] doommaster, last I looked at the mdadm boot scripts, it tried to incrementally assemble the raid array each time a component disk was detected, which would succeed only when all of them were present... this was done in the background, while the main loop just waited to see if the root device appeared [01:29] andornaut: well, as mmoebius said, wget (or possibly curl) is easy enough [01:29] somsip: yep [01:29] psusi: yeha that will fail, which is just fine [01:29] doommaster, so if the roo tis not on that raid array, it would find and mount the root, even though the raid array had not been activated... it looks like that is no longer the case [01:29] I have a .so lib but i want to make it a .a lib. where would i find out how to do this? ie:channel name, links, ... [01:29] but why does it break boot then? [01:29] *an .a [01:30] psusi: yepp [01:30] doommaster, looks like someone screwed up and changed the boot scripts back to the old way [01:30] that changed somehow [01:30] ouwhh [01:30] doommaster, file a regression bug against mdadm [01:30] ahhrg how do I do THAT? [01:31] this bug seems peanuts [01:31] but it is a big deal for me -.- [01:31] damn [01:31] doommaster, launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+filebug [01:31] has anybody else encountered problems with the cdrom not refreshing the contents of the drive when a new cd is put in? alkafoo was helping me, but appears to have left [01:31] dooglus, err, mdadm, not dmraid ;) [01:32] doommaster, this is with 11.10 or 12.04? [01:32] 11.10 [01:32] doommaster: Most bugs one notices are peanuts in essence but total show-stoppers at a certain time ;-) [01:34] doommaster, sorry, had my best friend on the phone with some big news there for a while so wasn't paying full attention.. I'm looking into the problem now, but you certainly should file a bug report against dmraid and mention that it's a regression if it used to work [01:35] kingisher64: try using the umount, and eject command to spit out the old cd, befor inserting the new one? [01:36] dr_willis - right, is that just "unmount" and "eject" as a terminal command? [01:37] kingisher64: umount - No N [01:37] sudo umount /dev/cdrom (or whatever), then eject [01:37] doommaster, you should have seen the bug I found on upgrading my server to 11.10... 11.04 worked fine... wouldn't boot after upgrade... grub wouldn't recognize the raid array... turned out it was because I was using mdadm metadata format 0.9, which stores the data at the end of the disk or partition, and my server bios was buggy and lied about the disk size, making it appear just large enough to hold the partition, so grub couldn't tell if the [01:37] whole disk or the partition was the raid component [01:37] whole disk [01:38] no partitions on the disl [01:38] no partitions on the disk [01:38] just raid superblock and raid data [01:38] doommaster, out of curiosity, why don't you partition the disks? I've always done that just as a precaution [01:38] mmoebius: are you saying Gparted cannot resizre an extended partition? Not mounted/ not in use/ and no other extended partitions made yet [01:38] precaustion in what way? it does not systematically better the case of a fail [01:39] you would still need to manualy recover the superblock [01:39] it is just gworn that way :P [01:39] metulburr: you may need to shrink anything next to it - befor trying to reisze it. [01:39] the raid started with 4 disks once [01:39] and now it is grown to 10 [01:39] metulburr: or shrink anything in it. (i tend to just use all primaries) [01:39] it worked fine over 5 yeas [01:39] even 2 failed disks [01:40] and 3 growth [01:40] I am really satisfied with mdadm :) [01:40] dr_willis: ive already shrunk it, now attempting to just create it [01:40] dr_willis: I ran out of primaries (4) [01:40] doommaster, having a partition table makes sure that the system ( or another system if you connect the disk to it ) can see that it is raid, and won't try to, for exmaple, add a partition table and format the drive ;) [01:41] I have no systems which would do such a cruel thing [01:41] even WIndows needs init first [01:41] doommaster, I don't either.. that I know of... but, just in case ;) [01:41] hehe [01:41] dr_willis: so the fourth primary I am just trying to change to extended so i can have more than 4 partitions in total [01:42] they could also just not recon the part ID and do the same ;) there is no real point of having partitions on it [01:42] when i set the system up I thought about it and did not see the point [01:42] so i skipped it [01:42] Hello guys anybody has try to stream from Ampache to the Amdroid app i can make it work [01:43] I have been googling but could not find nothing related to my issue [01:43] dr_willis: currently is just unallocated [01:44] doommaster, what mdadm metadata format are you using? [01:44] 1.9 I think [01:45] doommaster, there's 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 [01:45] ähhrg [01:45] ok dunno [01:45] doommaster, 1.x are all the same except for where they are stores... if you are still using 0.9, you should upgrade ;) [01:45] what would a 10.10 version of mdadm have created? [01:45] back in the days :P [01:45] BRANDON [01:45] yes [01:46] Hello everyone :) This place is suitable also for specific ubuntu programs problems? [01:46] doommaster, not sure.. see what mdadm -E says [01:46] ubuntu: ok [01:46] this suck bro [01:46] psusi: wait have to boot without the disk :P [01:46] metulburr: this sucks [01:47] sokak, just ask :-) [01:49] okido :) Im using the version 1.10 of mixxx and im having huge memory leaks. Tried to dig on launchpad, and reached the point where you have to launch mixx with the command pasuspender mixxx 'QT_GL_USE_OPENGL1ENGINE=1' and seemed ok for a while, now is still leaking :) [01:49] what does that flags does? [01:49] psusi: it is still 0.90.00, so I will upgrade it as soon as possible (how ever that is done… *shrugs*) [01:49] uahhhrg wtf [01:50] without that OerHeks, it can skyrocket from 130 mb of ram to 8 Gb in like 3 minutes ^^ [01:50] I just did mdadm -E on that RAID disk and saw that the boot disk was also part of the raid to the mens of MDADM [01:51] psusi: it lists sda and sdb as raid device [01:51] even thoughonly sdb has a superblock o.O [01:51] doommaster, huh? [01:52] yeah wired stuff [01:53] it assumes the raid complete in mdadm -E and sda and sdb a part of it [01:53] but hell what do I know -.- [01:53] kinda noob where are apps installed to when using apt-get? [01:53] sokak, i'm not sure what that code does, but it should be solved in 1.10.1 ? >> see end https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/887269 [01:53] Ubuntu bug 887269 in Mixxx "Spinning vinyl widget (WSpinny) incorrectly rendered on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric" [Medium,Confirmed] [01:53] doommaster, huh? can you pastebin the mdadm -E results?

[01:55] hello ,everyone I am new here [01:55] hi [01:56] OerHeks, its a lil different, it displays correctly for me, it just eats gigatons of ram, still seeing im an idiot, since i misplaced the parameter ^^ [01:56] doommaster, I'm not sure without rebuilding the array [01:56] hehe rebuild will be nealry impossible as I have nowhere to go with my 15TB [01:56] UbuntuRules can u plz tell me the rules of ubuntu? [01:56] dr_willis - thanks, it seems to be working fine now. Is there a specific reason why i can't just eject the cd, without clicking eject first? [01:56] doommaster, you currently have all disks connected or just the one? [01:57] just one [01:57] and sda is not part of the raid === irenicus09 is now known as Guest79897 [01:57] doommaster, if your 15 tb isn't backed up, it may as well be already lost... raid is not a substitute for backups ;) [01:57] doommaster, connect them all, get the array activated, and see what mdadm -D /dev/md0 shows [01:57] psusi: no essential data [01:58] nothing which could not be recovered [01:58] I wondering if anyone out there has had experience w/ getting a Hauppauge HVR 850 to work uner the lasted Ubuntu ..... I have located a few resources online regarding drivers/firmware that needs to be install.... Ihave downloaded the latest firmware --- but there is (what appears to be a simple instruction, but it doesn't work. Anyone out there able to help w/ this issue? I really would like to watch LIVE TV ...using t [01:58] his tuner that is suppose to work w/ latest Kernel [01:58] psusi: ok will do that once possible :) [01:59] Hi all, Youtube audio is not playing for me on one specific video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=m5rlTrdF5Cs). I've tried it across the most recent versions of Chrome, FF, and Opera. I'm currently running 11.10. I've attempted full reboots, but they seem to have no effect. ALSA claims everything is running normally, so I'm a bit confused as why this one specific video fails [02:00] and the video does actually have audio :) [02:00] OerHeks, nvm, it was correct placing the flag where i did it ;3 [02:00] does anyone have any suggestions for things to check? [02:00] it/Linux rules :) [02:00] there are no rules in Linux/open source [02:00] can be a poorly encoded video with a faulty audio? [02:00] i know [02:00] lol [02:00] im just teasing [02:00] Also, I'm running Unity 2D, but I don't think that could effect audio at all [02:00] :) [02:00] doommaster, I think the numbers are all wonkey because you are connecting the drives in odd orders.... should be ok, just looked really weird [02:01] !ot | UbuntuRules FuZi0N [02:01] UbuntuRules FuZi0N: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:01] try to download the video stream and poke at it with vlc - check the audio encoding [02:01] psusi: yeah I never assumed there was something wrong with the raid itself [02:01] sokak: kk, I'll try that. I did confirm with a friend that it plays fine on his machine, though he is using windows. [02:01] I will put the machine back in tomorrow [02:02] but this bootup stuff really shakes me up -.- [02:02] doommaster, unfortunately for some reason, there is no bzr branch on lp for mdadm so I can't track the change history [02:02] i see meanburrito920, then you shall compare flash versions maybe? [02:02] mybox1776: the #mythbuntu channel and forums may be of help. [02:03] doommaster, but I'm thinking that someone screwed up and modified the boot scripts in such a way that they drop you to the busybox shell if any raid array can not be activated now, instead of only if the root can't be found... and that seems to be a regression and a bug, so you should file a new bug report [02:05] have you noticed midori doesn't actually clear private data when quitting even if you tell it to?

[02:10] doommaster, damnit, you following my link after I said it was wrong ;) [02:10] sokak: I use chrome, but I tried the video on chrome, ff, and opera. it failed on all three [02:10] The point is - the easiest way to force a certain quality for youtube is to pick Smartvideo for youtube https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/smartvideo-for-youtube-mytube/ and force video quality to highest by default - that should force mp4 playing and should be more codec compliant [02:10] doommaster, I meant to say mdadm, not dmraid... fixed [02:10] ok\ [02:10] Need to merge together partitions to keep swap from filling up. What should I be aware of? Would anything break if I simply fdisk them together?

[02:18] I've been scouring the internets for about an hour now and it all comes back to specialty apps, scripts, etc... [02:18] and even more interesting will my machine boot just fine when the raid is just degraded or would it still fail (which would be baaaad) [02:19] well it certainly doesn't seem to be a flash problem, as vlc is mirroring the issues [02:19] almoxarife, but my baby's ports are all plugged, how could she get sick?

[02:20] doommaster, no idea.. but why do you sometimes boot your machine with only some of the drives connected? [02:20] for certain files only [02:20] heh [02:20] meanburrito920, can you have a look at alsamixer in terminal? all levels are at an audible point? [02:20] and sometmes in the middle of files [02:20] sokak: no avail [02:20] psusi: because they are connected via fibrechannel [02:21] which might be broken after a powerfailure [02:21] Anyone running on an apple laptop can give me a ballpark difference in battery life if there is one please?

[02:23] *giggles* [02:23] nvm sokak, looked into the manpage and found what i needed to disable to fix the issue [02:23] sokak: it cant be that special, it plays on chromium with the extra codecs, and current adobe flash 64bit player [02:23] sokak: so I hit 'B' which claims to rebalance the audio, and now all my youtube audio is super quiet [02:23] for i in `ls *.m4b`; do ffmpeg -i $i -acodec libmp3lame -ar 22050 $i.mp3; done; this returns me ?[01;32mzakoni-liderstva.m4b?[0m: No such file or director3 [02:23] why error? [02:23] completely inaudible [02:23] *shrugs* i have still to fix my audio aple that cuts down audio abroptly when i lower volume less than 10% [02:24] Hey [02:24] melkor well the important partitions are toward the end of the disk, so if i could keep the directory table that would be copacetic [02:24] why is the download so slow? [02:24] sokak: in fact all my audio is now "dead" [02:24] meanburrito920, youre close. Tap up with up arrows in all channells, then when is okay, sudo alsactl store [02:24] sokak: oops, rebalancing actually muted somehow [02:24] ;3 [02:25] const_antine: what do you mean the directory table? Are you trying to fdisk mounted drives? [02:25] meanburrito920: was your audio working before you came in here? [02:25] sokak: I don't want to store it if it isn't loud enough even when maxed though, right? [02:25] magic of pulseaudio/alsa, still trying to understand why login sound comes 20 seconda later than usual [02:25] melkor, each partition has directory table, that connects files to their directories, no? [02:26] If you resize a partition with fdisk that is lost. [02:26] const_antine, you can not use fdisk on a drive that has mounted partitions [02:26] ffuuuu [02:26] meanburrito920, in cause of doubt, close/reopen the session without touching anything, or reboot :3 [02:26] const_antine: it shouldn't be lost on drives that you do not resize. [02:26] const_antine, and fdisk can not resize partitions, only delete them and add new unformatted ones [02:27] gparted is the right science (backup first dude) [02:27] what are my options? [02:27] const_antine: copy your files somewhere safe, repartition your drive and copy the files back. [02:27] enuff said :| [02:27] melkor, that's lame [02:28] const_antine: I don't think there has ever been a filesystem with the capabilities you are asking for. [02:28] const_antine, you can read your whole hdd and retype files later [02:28] const_antine, let me get this straight.. you have a swap partition, but it is about to fill up? You will need to clear out some memory, unmount the swap partition, then use gparted to expand it if there is some unpartitioned space after it [02:28] const_antine: you asked for help, dont judge it, accept it or reject it, but your comments are as lame [02:28] lame > retarded [02:28] you said it [02:29] hey guys, I'm trying to get good at linux by doing the LFS book and am having trouble with the prerequisite of getting emacs to compile. Is this the right channel to get help? [02:29] const_antine <-- smells of troll [02:29] almoxarife, pardon me? [02:29] melkor, actually, ext4 can handle online expand, and btrfs can do expand and shrink... normally this requires LVM, but I've been working on patches lately to get it working with conventional partitions ;) [02:29] that muskey, unmistakable smell. [02:29] could somebody tell me how to change the default desktop bar (at top) options to show rather than hidden by default? It's doing my head in that i have to hover over the bar to reveal the menu options. many thanks [02:30] psusi, unfortunately it's the last one on the disk. now that i think of it, merging previous partitions wouldn't be enough... [02:31] the data would have to be moved too... [02:31] * sokak hands out a 4 tb caviar green [02:31] still, wouldn't it be cool... [02:32] I'm getting an error that crt1.o is not found. can anyone help me out? I've written up what I've tried in this (unanswered) superuser question [02:33] I'm getting display lag issues in firefox, how to diagnose? (Tried: nvidia-xconfig) [02:33] georgemauer, have a look here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/91576/crti-o-file-missing [02:33] evening [02:33] joallard, tried to disable hardware acceleration in firefox? [02:34] almoxarife,psusi,sokak, thank you for your help [02:34] yw const_antine [02:34] also melkor [02:34] I need help troubleshooting an AR5001 "wireless is disabled". This laptop has been working fine, and suddenyl I come home and get this. I replaced the wireless adapter and the problem persists. WHere to start? [02:35] const_antine, LVM can do all sorts of gymnastics of that sort [02:35] sokak: I did not. Let me try that. [02:35] sokak: though why would not hardware accel work? [02:35] ranawayforever: can you share your kern.log and system.log? [02:36] joallard, its in options, Advanced General tab [02:36] well that was a crappy time for my wifi to go on the fitz, thanks sokak, let me read through that [02:36] almoxarife: sure, just a moment [02:36] almoxarife: what's the location of these files? I can pastebin them [02:36] ranawayforever: look in /var/log/ [02:36] psusi: that sounds pretty impressive. [02:36] joallard, hardware acceleration is sort of... duh, disable it in flash plugin as well. [02:37] sokak: on the hardware acceleration test, I get 60+ fps, does that change anything? [02:37] melkor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm [02:37] ranawayforever, I don't know if this helps any with whatever problem you have but I have Dell laptop that has a fn wifi disable key that disables ok but won't toggle back to enable. I have to go into bios and enable wifi even though it says enabled and save the bios setting again. [02:37] psusi, what's LVM? [02:37] sokak: what do you mean by "[it] is sort of... duh"? [02:37] joallard, disable it first ;) if no progess are made, then disable flash hardware acceleration [02:37] melkor, though btrfs does/will do an even better job [02:37] const_antine, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm [02:37] w30: i thought that as well, but this laptop has no BIOS wifi options. Its an older Compaq CQ60 series, its my sons. I'm on it now with a cable [02:37] joallard, i mean it may work, or be just a hassle, no shades here. [02:38] sokak: okay, let me try. [02:39] joallard, here how to disable flash hardware acceleration http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html [02:39] almoxarife: pastebin is down, where else can i put this? [02:39] ranawayforever, I just struck out with one strike, sorry I can't do more except offer sympathy [02:40] http://pastie.org/ [02:40] w30: no prob, i just appreciate when people respond at all on here [02:40] sokak: the issue is still present with hw accel disabled and no flash applet on any page. [02:40] thats odd. Which gpu and drivers you have? Compiz is on? [02:41] sokak: can't paste larger than 64k. [02:41] almoxarife: i will upload to YouSendIt [02:41] also what version of firefox you have? [02:41] ranawayforever: ok [02:41] one sec ranawayforever, looking for further alternatives [02:42] ranawayforever, if you have internet on cable try enable propriatary repos and use jockey-gtk to see if it offers any drivers for your wifi? [02:42] sokak - I assume that my issue has to do with ctrl1.o not being found (like the solution here) what I don't know is how to configure make so that it finds it. honestly I thought the --with-crt-dir flag for configure would do it, but it apparently does not [02:43] sorry im not make savvy georgemauer, if there isnt a solution, i have no clue [02:43] w30: already tried that too. Been playing with rfkill as well. It just says disabled. Almost as if there is an issue with the physical switch, although the LED is orange when I first boot [02:43] ah, thanks anyways [02:44] why is ubuntu download so damn slow? [02:44] ranawayforever, this one has a 3500 lines limit http://paste2.org/ [02:44] Detergentizer: use the torrent [02:44] ranawayforever, hmmm...it does sound like a hardware switch problem but where's the switch Ay? [02:45] k [02:45] +1, the torrent is fast [02:45] almoxarife: sokak: Here's the kern.log http://www.mediafire.com/?zkr8qqswbb89444 [02:45] almoxarife: I cant seem to locate system.log [02:45] ranawayforever: /var/log/syslog [02:46] is there a command to delete folders with items in it? when i use rmdir it always says i can't because there's something in it. [02:46] sokak: I've narrowed it down but I'm still confused. Any aac audio that is someone speaking with little background noise gets "muted". [02:46] skypent: rm -R [02:46] thats something new to see meanburrito920 :o [02:47] yeah... [02:47] skypent, man rm says use the -R switch [02:47] almoxarife: and here's the syslog http://www.mediafire.com/?acjy1eo7b7xj38z [02:47] w30; overclucker; thanks [02:48] i shall update to oneiric and see if i can give a real help, downloading the iso took 2 days T_T [02:48] skypent, it's that way for a reason; double check the contents to make sure :=) [02:48] yeah, -R is no mercy [02:49] my computer with 11.10 running often bogs down, lots of continuous HD activity. What is the best tool to find out what is taking all the resources, htop? [02:49] w30 no; i used photorec to pull up my garbage that i had erased. now i want to get rid of it cause i have tons of folders on my desktop that require root to remove. [02:49] iotop to see whats grinding the hdd [02:49] Toph2: iotop -bo is good [02:49] walden,,, let me try that [02:49] skypent, what about a chown on them ^^ [02:49] Hey everyone, I have some Verilog Source files with me. I'd like to see the waveforms on Linux, Can anyone help? (fyi, I use Active HDL in windows) [02:50] skypent, go for it; Tebow it, ha [02:50] sokak: chown? is that something to do with permissions? [02:50] it CHangesOWNer :) [02:51] Toph2: just remember -bo as in "body odor" ;) [02:51] man chown for details [02:51] bowel odor [02:51] 'is there a sun java .deb ? [02:51] * w30 wonders if he can make a ancii Tebow figure. [02:51] sokak; alright thanks [02:52] almoxarife: when I run rfkill list, it shows hard blocked [02:52] I run rfkill unblock all, and it still shows hard blocked [02:52] walden,,, it gives me files, line numbers, etc,,, what does that tell me? [02:52] ranawayforever: rfkill ? [02:52] from what I can find, the issue may be because the mp4 aac that youtube gives me is at 44100 HZ instead of the standard 48000 Hz, which means that ALSA has to resample the audio, which is something it apparently doesn't do very well [02:53] almoxarife: found it on a forum, apparently has some extra controls for wireless devices [02:53] an 12 20:13:59 compaq NetworkManager[924]: (wlan1): new 802.11 WiFi device (driver: 'ath5k' ifindex: 3) <-- ranawayforever, the wifi is on wlan1, what is on wlan0? [02:53] almoxarife: wlan1 is the new card I just installed [02:54] almoxarife: wlan0 is sitting on the table and no longer in the laptop [02:54] ranawayforever: how many cards installed? [02:54] almoxarife: just one [02:54] Fa773N_M0nK, somethinglike this? http://iverilog.icarus.com/ [02:54] almoxarife: for the record, this problem occured before the new card. New card was installed shortly before joining chat because we thought the card had just gone bad [02:55] ranawayforever: so both cards act the same way? [02:56] almoxarife: yes. I bought the new card because i tried a live usb of 11.10 and it did the same thing. I figured that ruled out software. At this point, i think there may either be a problem with the physical switch or the motherboard [02:56] is there a way to make FF not fullscreen when opened? [02:56] almoxarife: just want to rule out every possibility [02:57] ranawayforever: if neither card has ever worked i would say its hardware not related to the cards, did you look at the kern.log? [02:57] sokak: yeah, i searched a lot. all i understood was the program in the link "compiles" the code and "dumps" it into a file and to see the wave i'd have to use some waveform viewer (like gtkwave). But, I don't know exactly how to do it. So, I am looking for someone who does these things. Thanks for the link! [02:58] Fa773N_M0nK, yw, just a quick google :-) [02:58] almoxarife: the original card worked for a year. This all just started two days ago. I've not looked at kern.log because I have no idea what im looking at :) [02:59] we need a kernel log human readable translator ^^ [03:00] btw Fa773N_M0nK , have a look here as well http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=7655 [03:00] I was wondering if anyone out there has had experience w/ getting a Hauppauge HVR-850 to work under the latest Ubuntu. [03:00] I have located a few resources online regarding drivers/firmware that needs to be installed ect..I have downloaded the latest firmware from a resource (http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-850) but there is (what appears to be a simple instruction (s), but it doesn't work. Anyone out there able to help w/ this issue? [03:00] After installing new firmware (I think I did it OK) still nothing works. I have posted my logs on this link. [03:00] mybox1776: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:00] Can someone help me? [03:00] LOGS/etc >>> http://pastebin.com/eXKmnud6 [03:00] ranawayforever: here is my suggestion, keep the new card(assume its not broke), undo any changes you may have made to the setup that had you edtiting files [03:01] almoxarife: is this a fresh install? [03:01] :) [03:01] no [03:01] talking to yourself? [03:01] ranawayforever: if the install new? [03:01] dr_willis: noooooooooooooooo :( [03:02] dr_willis, it happens, yesterday i was having a discussion with /dev/random [03:02] almoxarife: no. I'm about to reboot to my flash drive and try. I'll check back in. Thank you for taking the time to chat [03:02] ranawayforever: reboot flash? [03:03] porlly a live on a flash drive? [03:03] sokak: whoa! i did just that today! now i'm trying to figure out how to register the copy. [03:03] ranawayforever: hate to say this, that machine include windows? does wifi work with win? [03:03] Friends... I have a question regarding getting my HAUPAUGE USB HVR 850 to work. All my troubleshooting I know how to do is in this paste bin. http://pastebin.com/eXKmnud6 [03:03] almoxarife: i have a usb flash drive with ubuntu 11.10 live on it, i want to boot from it to test the hardware in a pristine environment [03:03] almoxarife: ubuntu only [03:03] sokak: but its kinda sad, no verilog IDE's in linux! [03:03] ranawayforever: dont do that, when you install to the machine, use the 'alternate' and be hardwired to the internet [03:04] Fa773N_M0nK, there is, but Riviera is costy ;-) [03:04] almoxarife: i'm not looking to install, just run live to test [03:04] ranawayforever: test? got it [03:04] ranawayforever: test on [03:05] question. Its safe to allow sudoers on ssh to self ssh and sudo myself to bed instead of lurking here? [03:06] hi [03:06] hi Poison_Kiss! [03:06] hah this is my first time here [03:06] yw [03:06] shoot your problem. [03:06] Awesome! Welcome aboard! [03:06] is there a way to make FF not fullscreen when opened? [03:07] kypor, you mean on unity, and Firefox as FF? [03:07] yes [03:07] kypor: sure there is, give it a commanf line argument with disired geometry [03:07] well, you can, but the menu bar will still stay up there on screen :3 [03:07] switch to gnome3 or lxde - its more orthodox [03:08] install gnome-session-fallback and use that when you log in if you are like me and dislike unity [03:08] thanks [03:08] hi guys - seems the #ALSA is silent/dorman for the most part & I could really use some help getting to the bottom of an issue. is anyone able/willing to help me, please? [03:08] phix, i had also an instant repulsion for unity, but it isnt too bad [03:09] shoot kieppie [03:09] sokak: oh! I didn't know about that! but you said it! [03:09] Fa773N_M0nK, with my google fu i can roast you >:3 [03:09] sokak: The creator of it should be .... well I probably shouldnt say that here :P [03:10] phix, just poke at it in free time, and hide in the warmth of the lightning fast lxde when you feel vintage [03:10] lxde? what that? [03:10] thanks, sokak: "headless" 64 10.4 host running XBMC AV via HDMI over ALSA (works OK) & I have a 2nd PCI card (SB ca0106) connected to 5.1 speakers that I'm trying to bind to MPD [03:11] Hello all, I have a question about adding new users. I have searched for a solution with google and looked through forums but am at wits end here. Basically I add a new user and when trying to login I get this, "groups: cannot find name for group id 1001"? [03:11] kieppie: #xbmc ?? [03:11] phix, its lightning fast low end window manager . pieces of cake for netbooks, but suitable for desktops. a 12 mb download all inclusive [03:11] sokak: :) [03:11] kieppie: ah you trying to get HDMI audio working under pulse? In that version of Ubuntu you need to modify some file [03:11] sokak: so like xfce? [03:11] yup :) but even more spartan [03:12] Ialmoxarife, phix: XBMC is working fine over HDMI (ASLA), so that's not worrying me [03:12] kieppie, sorry but MPD is way over my skills - tired, but i have to learn moar [03:12] kieppie: mpd? [03:12] tried* either [03:12] no idea whta mpd is [03:13] music player daemon [03:13] ah [03:13] you want setup some type of jukebox or something? [03:13] sokak, I have never seen, used lxde, I have got xfce4 going. What's a big difference between the two if any? [03:13] super spartan rock solid way to gig ;3 [03:13] or audio streaming? [03:13] I installed PulseAudio earlier to deal with issues in another way & got MPD+ca0106 & XBMC/HDMI working simultaniously, which is what I wanted. had to uninstall PA (for a different reason), but now I'm having trouble getting anything else going other than the XBMC/HDMI combo. no aplay, not mpd, nothing [03:14] This is a question concerning pgp signatures; i believe i imported the correct public key, have set up my own key, and am trying to verify some files; when i type gpg -verify filename.txt i get this outcome http://codepad.org/OMYGKrr1 could anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? [03:14] kieppie: lets try that again, strip the xbmc stuff, what is it you want to achive, and be specific about the hardware and app [03:14] w30, never tried xfce honestly, just gave lxde a try since it was just 12 mb all inclusive, and it does on my netbook. From password entering to desktop is roughly 3/4 secs [03:15] xfce is quick [03:15] sokak: How spartan is spartan? are we talking fvwm? [03:15] dont worry about the MPD (Music Player Daemon) atm - that "just another app". I think that the problem is related to a ASLA/ca0106 issue & nobody's @ #ALSA who's able to help me out, so this channel is my next port-of-call [03:16] for 2gb hd how much swap? [03:16] as much spartan as one can think - just a menu, a desktop, and really the barebone selection of apps - all lightweight - also can live along with unity like wonders [03:16] Detergentizer: swap size is based on the amount of ram you have not hd [03:16] sorry [03:16] \I met 2GB Memory not HD [03:17] Detergentizer: generally 1.5times your RAM is a good rule of thumb :) [03:17] k [03:17] some problems can be solved simply with the latest alsa driver package ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa [03:17] thanks [03:17] cool almoxarife: ignoring XBMC & the additiona AV being served by that HDMI PCI card, basicall I need MPD (or any other app using ALSA, such as aplay) to push audio out to my secondary sound card: Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster [03:17] phix, fvwm or vwm is a little too spartan for me. My hardware can afford more. [03:17] if youre on a netbook and low on ram, try zramswap :3 [03:17] what is zramswa [03:18] I'm still running 10.4 LTS (kernel 3.0.n) & will upgrade when the new LTS comes out in april [03:18] like this http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/increased-performance-in-linux-with.html works like wonders on dual core netbooks [03:18] kieppie: lets keep it simple, can mplayer 'push' to your card? [03:18] a littel help here... i screw my ubuntu and in the end i have to reinstall the kernell but now all is messed up... i cat even get an internet conection... im in win7... can you help me? [03:18] w30: I agree [03:19] ok - let me check. 1 moment pls [03:19] anyone here use Evolution mail? [03:19] Detergentizer: Although on most of the systems I setup I have about 50 to 100Gb of swap space, and use tmpfs for my /tmp and /var/tmp :) [03:19] w30, thats why m anxious about updating to oneiric - im glued with gnome2, and dont want to leave it - lxde is fine for the netbook [03:19] hmmm. [03:20] for /boot 100MB is fine? [03:20] Detergentizer: generally yes, depends how many kernel images you want on there [03:20] what do you guys use as an email client? [03:20] k [03:20] You need to start uninstalling kernel images if it reaches 5 or so [03:20] Rokcstar, i use Thunderbird, but thats from windows :) [03:21] Rokcstar: I use Thunderbird [03:21] Thunder bird with what email service? [03:21] * sokak gives a high five [03:21] almoxarife: no - doesn't seem to - http://pastebin.com/D6gHfzR7 [03:21] or webmail via SOGo (which is basically Thunderbird but run in web browsers using AJAX) [03:21] think it's a card/driver assignement misconfig [03:21] I shall admit its not flawless - there are many other mail clients faster [03:22] Rokcstar: I have my own domain and email server so I use that :) [03:22] But i love the extensibility [03:22] sokak: high five! [03:22] interesting so do use it with IMAP? [03:22] yes IMAP [03:22] yep, i have many imap accounts, as well as pops [03:22] does your email server support a calendar? [03:22] my gmail yes ;o [03:23] I either use exim and cyrus or postfix and courier, depending on when I setup the system :) [03:23] nice [03:23] Have you tried Evolution? [03:23] im too lazy to setup my own calendar :| [03:23] a littel help here... i screw my ubuntu and in the end i have to reinstall the kernell but now all is messed up... i cat even get an internet conection... im in win7... can you help me? [03:23] kieppie: you dont have alsa or pulse avail according to mplayer, what were you wanting to use? oss? something? [03:23] qwebirc70931, boot up from a live, save data to an external hdd and wipe it [03:23] I used Thunderbird for a while but then switched to Evolution because it had better support for Microsoft Exchange [03:23] Rokcstar: calendar isn't in any email protocol (well maybe exchange but that relly isn't a formal protocol, just something MS hacked together and forgot to release the specs) [03:24] Rokcstar: calendar is done over webdav or caldav usually [03:24] yus :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [03:24] and we has lightning ^^ [03:24] (which uses http protocol) [03:24] yup, lightning is a plugin for Thunderbird to give it calendar support [03:25] I accidentally chowned /etc to my user account while I thought I was in a different directory. is there a way to chown it back without having to boot into single user mode? [03:25] but will it allow for free/busy? [03:25] almoxarife: atm I've scratched PA & making use of ALSA. the mplayer present is most likely that which is bundled with XBMC & I'm not seeing CLI args to define a audio device on the fly [03:25] sokak yeah i love to ry it but i dont have where to store all the info... am i screw? [03:25] SOGo comes with it too :) but I havnt had a working SOGo setup yet, it doesnt let me add in additional email aliases for users so it is kind of useless [03:25] qwebirc70931, just buy dvd's, they are cheap, and burn your stuff with brasero :3 [03:25] since I want to set up a 1:1 for app:sound-device, I really don't care what I'm using [03:25] kieppie: nope, never heard of a mplayer bundle with xbmc, use them both [03:25] Rokcstar: you can add task or events, also add email addresses to it that it will notify of task / event [03:26] Rokcstar: there is also a google calendar plugin for lightning to sync with your gmail account [03:26] I'm having an issue with crontab -e. I have the following "*/1 * * * * mysqldump -u root -pstrick9 --all-databases | gzip > database_backup-`date '+%d%b%Y'`.sql.gzip" [03:26] but nothing happens [03:26] almoxarife: sorry - I mean to say that mplayer is the media player that XBMC uses to serve up it's content [03:26] mmm... well how do i "format" the ubuntu partition?? [03:26] kieppie: you can force xbmc to use an external player [03:26] kieppie: no, xbmc uses its own player [03:26] Yes of course but have you ever had success with checking other attendees with free/busy info? [03:26] yea, I can - I make use of VLC at times, but it's a much less elegant solution [03:27] pconwell: hmmmm [03:27] qwebirc70931, whats wrong? you boot from the live disc, open brasero, burn your data away from the screwed install, then proceed to reinstall ubuntu :| [03:27] let me see what VLC does [03:27] vlc does everything >:o [03:27] qwebirc70931: mkfs [03:28] There is probably a GUI tool to do it too, and you can do it in the installer disc too [03:28] kieppie: should say 'i cant find asla or pa' [03:28] phix: I have it set to */1 just to see if I can get it to work [03:28] phix, i guess the gui option is the way ;) [03:28] pconwell: does the command work? or did you just assume it does and added it to crontab? [03:28] lol, no, I tested the command [03:29] almoxarife: looks for PA, cand find, then looks for ASLA moans then fails [03:29] kieppie: really? === ubuntu is now known as Aliv3 [03:29] sokak ill try to move the files to the windows partition and then reinstall... but im thinkin in install debian... what do you think?? [03:29] kieppie: you trashed alsa and pa, btw, does xbmc still work? [03:29] qwebirc70931: Depends if you want a desktop or a server setup [03:29] then you will need to go on #debian to ask help u.u [03:30] I'll try again enabling remote-X - atm I'm remoting into this (mostly headless) box [03:30] I use Debian for server and Ubuntu for desktop [03:30] swapping is fun sometimes ^^ [03:30] qwebirc70931: What are you having problems with any way? [03:30] Hey does anyone know how to setup and configure apache & mod_mono??? [03:31] root_: You have to use C#? wouldnt you rather use python? :) [03:31] I know I would [03:31] kieppie: nevermind, i would suggest undo all the alsa stuff you did and re-install pa(pulseaudio), remove-purge-reinstall [03:31] well i cant make an internet conection and before installing the kernel i have gnome 3 and now is missing... [03:31] ok - mplayer: it tried pulse, can't find it, then alsa - finds it & then fails - will load up the verbose feedback [03:31] I would like to but for my teacher, this is a requirement, she wants C# [03:32] almoxarife: yea... starting to think that too now...... [03:32] sounds ambiguous uwu [03:32] qwebirc70931: what network card you got? you trying to setup a wired LAN or wireless? [03:32] wireless but I'm able to ssh into it [03:32] Do I need to specify the inet dev.? [03:33] qwebirc70931: Is it a realtek by chance? [03:33] Yes [03:33] root_: ah ok, so this homework? [03:33] wired lan and i have a broadcom-bcm4313 i think... [03:34] qwebirc70931: hmmmm ok, not sure if you need to install another package to get that working [03:34] ni nii everyone ^_^ [03:34] some network card drivers / firmware are not included in default install of Ubuntu as it contains non-free licening elements [03:34] Well, not quite, I need to develop web apps for her in C#, but I am not able to pay for a .NET host [03:34] where can i set notification settings? [03:34] Hosting my own is easier [03:35] I would think [03:35] phix how do i do that if i dont have internet when im in ubuntu?? [03:35] root_: ok, well have a go then :) read the docs that come with it and good luck [03:35] Okay then, thanks :) [03:35] qwebirc70931: use a network card that is supported or use a different computer and copy to a flash drive [03:35] Anyone know how I can debug my startup taking over 3 minutes? =\ [03:35] It seems to get stuck on networking [03:36] Andrew131: yeah you need to add in an entry into /etc/network/interfaces [03:36] or change a setting in network manager [03:36] phix ok... so what i have to download? [03:36] Andrew131: It is trying to do DHCP on a network device that doesn't have a cable connected to it probably [03:36] qwebirc70931: no idea, google it [03:37] i'm having problems with proxy auth... i've followed this one to a T http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-configure-ubuntu-desktop-to-use-your-proxy-server.html but i still can't run the Update Manager without the proxy auth message [03:37] qwebirc70931: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+broadcom+bcm4313+how+to [03:37] It may be trying to [03:38] my user/pass works fine in firefox, but adding it to bashrc or the Network proxy section, doesn't seem to work [03:38] qwebirc70931: first result: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10057878 [03:38] can anyone suggest what I could be doing wrong?

[03:40] phix ok thanks! ill try but if i dont get a good response ill format the partition... [03:40] phix, no cable [03:40] How does one get into the kernel command line at boot? I'd like to troubleshoot an issue that appears to occur at plymouth splash screen. [03:40] qwebirc70931: Do what you think is right, but giving up usually isn't the answer :) [03:40] now my wireless card isn't in there [03:40] Also [03:40] this may be related may not [03:40] qwebirc70931: It reflects badly on your character :) [03:40] kennethkoontz, hit e for edit if startup grub [03:41] urlin2u, Thanks.

[03:45] selina2: it's more nicely to write a long sentence so we can understand what you say. Also, if you have something long to post (a code, a log from the terminal or something like that) use http://paste.ubuntu.com [03:45] selina2: I have enough overheating because of Nvidia [03:45] I also did a bootchart if that helps [03:45] TA5K: kill nvidia owners :)) [03:45] DoctorD, NOOOO [03:46] DoctorD: You di since about a year ...

[05:15] Hi all, I'm looking for Ubuntu software that lets me setup rules to trigger when eg: 10 errors are recorded in 10 mins. Is there anything like that? I haven't had much luck finding it. [05:15] EG: Some kind of metrics monitoring open source software === meanburrito920 is now known as Guest24032 [05:16] sters: 10 errors recorded from what? [05:16] Glitchd_, Nothing. For instance, right-click the desktop, "Change desktop background..." and select one of the presets. The preview adjusts appropriately, however the desktop background does *not* change [05:17] does crtl alt backspace reset gnome desktop back to the login screen? [05:17] hi dr_willis: Something generic. EG: I can add a rule that says 10 of error message type B arrived in the last 10 minutes. So email sters with an alarm email. [05:17] sters: "log analyzer" ? [05:17] Starminn, !!^ [05:17] yeah! [05:17] something like a log analyzer [05:17] that runs live as data comes in [05:17] sters: there are such things [05:17] sters: search the package manager [05:17] big companies have this and they call it 'metrics monitoring [05:18] but I haven't found a good open source package for it [05:18] Starminn, go to the pm.. [05:18] if that's what they call it, it's probably not its ordinary name =P [05:18] Glitchd_, No. That's in Keyboard shortcuts -> Reset X, right?

I am having issues with font color on my desktop. For example: http://imagebin.org/193349 [05:37] njathan: um... are you having trouble remembering posts you personally made? =P [05:37] Starminn, i think it would be best to just ask the question and post the link to the picture.. [05:38] i am installing on a second harddrive which is the only choice given when using the option install ubuntu alongside windows 7, i am on the page that says allocate drive space by dragging the divider below. The left says Files /dev/sdb1 (ntfs) and the right says Ubuntu /dev/sdb2 (ext4). Is the left part of windows and if not which one should be bigger Files or Ubuntu [05:38] Glitchd_, I can't identify the problem so I don't know the question I need to ask. [05:38] Guest71408: do you want to install to your 2nd hard disk? [05:39] yes [05:39] Guest71408: is there anything on it that you know of? [05:39] Starminn, lol just say what u said to me, or explain the problem so they know before they look at the picture, they will use the picture for clarification. [05:39] =) === VoX is now known as vox [05:39] no, the drive is empty [05:40] Guest71408: okay, no need for the NTFS part, then, unless you want it for some reason [05:40] Font colors in GTK menus seem to be ignoring my theme. Nothing I've tried fixes it. For example: http://imagebin.org/193349 [05:40] Guest71408: you could just delete all the partitions on the 2nd drive, select the unpartitioned space and tell the installer to set it up automatically from there [05:40] Glitchd_, Happy? :) [05:40] how can I install a 32-bit .deb on 64 bit ubuntu? [05:41] Starminn, lol im sure the rest will appreciate it=) [05:41] solid_liq: same way you'd install a 64-bit one, except you should be installing a 64-bit one if you can [05:41] alkafoo, there is no 64 bit version available. dpkg gives me this error message: "package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)" [05:42] solid_liq: what package? [05:42] thanks for the help [05:42] alkafoo, from here: http://www.3ds.com/products/draftsight/download-draftsight/#xtor=AD-508-[swfreetools]-[middle]-[intext]-[www.solidworks.com] [05:42] alkafoo, the Ubuntu download [05:44] solid_liq: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1724086 [05:44] solid_liq, I use getlibs package which provides getlibs which can be used to download and install all the 32bit libs or just the libs for a 32bit package which has missing libs because of a forced install [05:45] Starminn, have u tried selecting the new background and completely restarting? [05:45] alkafoo, awesome, thanks! [05:45] solid_liq, so you can force install a deb then use getlibs to get the 32 bit libs [05:46] w30, alkafoo found me step by step instructions for it already. thanks though! :D [05:46] solid_liq, cool 64 bit is always better [05:46] Starminn, have u tried selecting the new background and completely restarting? [05:46] for varying definitions of "always"... [05:46] w30, I have 8 GB of RAM, so I have no choice ;) [05:47] Glitchd_, Yep [05:47] open source software is better... then it'd be available as 64-bit [05:47] Starminn, u might want to check out this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1867303 [05:47] Starminn, the guy has posted some .py script to change the background if the default isnt working.. [05:48] solid_liq, I like my 16 gig of ram also *smile* I like big guns too. [05:48] w30, my laptop can only hold 8, unfortunately [05:48] wtf, CAD software requires sendmail? [05:49] * solid_liq installs it, grudgingly [05:49] Glitchd_, Every time I boot it's like the system is in a state of perpetual "unity --reset" [05:49] Glitchd_, None of my settings save [05:49] Starminn, hmm...let me look around, dont go anywhere [05:49] solid_liq, I just got my last computer before retirement so it has to last [05:50] solid_liq, I will die with 16 gig [05:50] Glitchd_, Okie-dokie. What happened is the font colors wouldn't change. I tried "unity --replace" and it instead created to instances of Unity. So I ran "unity --reset" but now it seems like it happens every time. [05:50] solid_liq: mine goes up to 11 [05:50] w30, my next desktop will have 16GB at least... I may get a mac mini before I get another desktop, though, so the desktop may end up having 32 GB if it takes long enough for me to get around to it [05:50] alkafoo, that's a weird amount [05:50] Glitchd_, And the font color isn't only in Unity. It's in GnomeShell as well as the login sreen (LightDM is it now?) [05:50] =P [05:50] try the unity replace again jus to see what happenes [05:51] alkafoo, how's that work? [05:51] just install ubuntu on my macbook pro - and it works it seems - except the track pad seems to cut out for 1 second out of 3. moves smooth, then loses connection, then moves smooth, etc. [05:51] any ideas on what to look at? [05:51] alkafoo, 3 4GB sticks with 1GB shared to video? [05:51] Starminn, alternativily, maybe try reinstalling unity from synaptic, maybe something got fudged sometime somehow [05:51] cschneid, loose wire? ;) j/k [05:52] Doesn't affect the font color problem. Since that happens *before* any DE's/Shells are launched [05:52] Glitchd_, ^ [05:53] Starminn, then im goin to default back to my original idea, of reinstalling the system [05:53] Glitchd_, Mhm. [05:53] Starminn, or...u could try installing gnome desktop? [05:53] Starminn, see how things are in there before u go for the fullout reinstall [05:53] Glitchd_, I tried it, too. Same thing. Again, it's DE/Shell-independent [05:53] alkafoo, oh god... lol [05:54] Starminn, is compiz installed? [05:54] alkafoo, how do you allocate 1 gig of memory to graphics? [05:54] Glitchd_, Yes, but Compiz is not launched until Unity or Gnome-desktop is. Gnome Shell does not use it, and LightDM does not use it yet the problem persists in both. [05:54] alkafoo, do you run a wire to your video card? [05:54] I do not [05:55] Glitchd_, And I doubt especially that Compiz runs before anybody is logged in. [05:55] Starminn, yea, im just trying to get my bearing on your system as a whole [05:55] Glitchd_, *nods* [05:56] hey evybody i have external hard disck(My passport) and when i was try to format in my ubuntu 10.10 it bring with an error message"Error formatting volume Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing FAT" please give me an assistance [05:57] honey_: what's the capacity? === stepnjump is now known as VE2HS [05:58] alkafoo:500gb [05:58] honey_: probably don't want to use vfat for that anyways [05:59] Starminn, im not finding anthing that is helping, i think im just gonna walk away from this one and leave you with my original advice..cheers [05:59] screw vfat, screw propiertary m$$$ capr!!! [05:59] honey_: what app are you using to format? [06:00] alkafoo:compiable with all system(FAT) [06:01] alkafoo:so what i shall do? [06:02] honey_: you could start by answering my question [06:02] Starminn, this guy i having the same problem, and someone suggested that something went wrong in the upgrade.. [06:02] Starminn, hence...reinstall [06:03] alkafoo:but i would like to use the FAT in order to use in window and ubuntu ones i need those formats [06:04] honey_: still haven't answered my question; anyways, I suggest using NTFS, which both OSes support [06:04] and also Mac OS [06:05] can i upgrade some or one package only [06:06] rather apt-get upgrade [06:06] Might I be able to put forth a suggestion for ubuntu 12? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:07] !brainstorm [06:07] Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like!

[06:08] oh [06:08] ok [06:08] ty dr_willis [06:08] cant say ive noticed them doing that Brewster [06:08] hi everyone. i was hoping someone could give me instructions on getting my NVidia GEForce 8400GS graphics card working. [06:08] it happens 100% of the time on my computer [06:08] alkafoo:sorry i was saying using FAT to format but there is no NTFS how coud i get that one just iam using ubuntu 10.10 [06:08] dr_willis: might there be something I could do to change that? [06:09] Brewster: which DE are you running? Unity? Gnome? wtc [06:09] Unity [06:09] there useed to be some thing ont he netbook edition that mazamized all launching apps. but thats been ages ago [06:09] that reminds me [06:09] I havent used KDE Plasma or gnome3 in a while [06:09] it is the regular edition [06:10] desktop [06:10] but I have it on a laptop [06:10] Brewster: as a test - make a new user. see if it also does it for themn. [06:10] alkafoo:and now when i was try to format in FAT it saysUnable to "format 'my passport' Cannot unmount because file system on device is busy" [06:10] seeing that it is not technically a netbook there should'nt be a problem [06:10] Brewster: if you have compiz running you can use ccsm to change window placement behavious [06:10] shouldn't [06:10] behaviour* [06:10] i tend to maxamize all windows anyway ;) [06:10] Kimmen: I haven't thought of that [06:10] i shall try [06:11] sounds like ccam is mazamizing hem all [06:11] ccsm/compiz [06:12] what might it be under [06:12] using ccsm [06:12] i tried to install the card yesterday but after i did, got a black screen after the ubuntu load screen. [06:12] under what might it be* [06:12] honey_: probably because it auto-mounted when you plugged it in [06:13] trying to stop using preps at the end of a sentence [06:13] honey_: run 'mount', see where it says /media/somethingHere, then run sudo umount /media/somethingHere [06:13] 'window placement/rules' [06:13] honey_: then use gparted to format it as NTFS, being careful not to format the wrong device [06:15] Fixed my mouse issue with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Maverick [06:15] the input tweaks did it [06:15] anyone?

[06:19] kill [06:20] lol [06:20] ok cya [06:20] honey_: as I said you can use mount & umount from a terminal, or possibly right click on a drive's entry on the left of the file manager and unmount it [06:20] Brewster: Your message is tooshort and thus false. [06:20] honey_: for gparted, you probably need to install it then run gksu gparted [06:20] bullgard6: "kill processname" [06:20] "killall processname" also kills its "dependancies" IIRC [06:21] if you need to kill an unresponsive program you better use killall [06:21] Calinou: "[07:21] Calinou if you need to kill an unresponsive program you better use killall" Why is that better?

If you have a label on the stick's partition, you may search for that label under /dev/disk/by-label/ [06:58] theadmin, Yes, a new partition label is created. So are you thinking to mount it manually via CLI? [06:59] Starminn: Probably yes, also check if something's wrong with your gvfs setup [06:59] ok, installing via Additional Drivers. What do I do if I get the black screen after the Ubuntu boot screen? [06:59] theadmin, At this point in time nearly everything has gone wrong with this install.

[07:01] Starminn: Uh, specify the mount point, something like: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [07:02] if i reboot now and the screen after the boot screen is black, what do i do? [07:02] theadmin, Thank you very much, sir. IT works beautifully.

It works beautifully. :) [07:04] anybody running natty here? === desk51_ is now known as pankaj_sharma [07:04] I am running Ubuntu Server 11.10 and I want to switch repository from local to global server. I can not find any documentation on the subject. Anyone have a suggestion? [07:07] I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 on Packard Bell EasyNote NM85. After recent installtion, I'm getting error while botting as - udevd[398]: worker [82] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100 - same for [83] [84] followed by - '/devices/pci0000:0d/0000:0d:0b.0'. I did not make any chnages in settings wrt system before the error. How can I fix this? [07:07] dr_willis: worked like a charm. ty. theadmin: ty for the link. [07:08] np JBunny [07:09] Great News 3.2 kernal finally supports the Hexagon architecture! pentagon architecture is so last century. [07:09] Pascoal: no one cares. also 3.x kernels suck [07:09] that's why 11.10 sucks [07:09] mm [07:10] the high energy consumption bug on some laptops isn't fixed yet in 3.2 I think [07:10] so I don't mind :/ [07:10] Calinou: I believe that's Unity, rather then the kernel which might as well be called 2.40 [07:11] branant, no the kernel also switched from 2.6.38 to 3.0 between natty and oneiric [07:11] hello [07:12] hi [07:12] can any one tell me how to do with autocad in ubuntu? [07:12] Otherwise, how can I find the complete boot log to pastebin the error from LiveCD> [07:12] ? [07:13] why would a package that isn't installed get priority 100 in apt? [07:13] yep, I tried using oneiric's 3.0 kernel in lucid, but the only difference was lucid's nvidia drivers stopped working because they only compiled headers for 2.4-2.6 [07:13] glebihan: Exactly my point! Since it was 20th Linux' birthday, Linus just decided to call it 3.0.0 instead of 2.6.40 [07:13] hi [07:13] Suvokit, check out a progeny called draftsight [07:13] It is not a major update from the 2.6.X series [07:14] branant, I know that, I just think Calinou was indeed talking about the kernel [07:14] *Program [07:14] branant, that's not entirely true.. now we have 360 gamepad and kinect support directly on the kernel! [07:14] how could anyone live without that [07:16] Sheldon_Cooper: That is truly awesome, I'll give you that... [07:16] :P [07:17] opentld [07:20] alkafoo: are u there? [07:21] So is there a good webserver/ftp/pop3 combo that can run on ubuntu? [07:21] hi [07:21] does apache do all that? [07:21] honey__: sure [07:22] aidrocsid: Apache is the most popular web server for something like 16 years running [07:22] aidrocsid: its called a LAMP server [07:22] aidrocsid: nginx and lighttpd are some lighter alternatives [07:22] does apache cover pop3 and ftp? [07:22] no, you'd also want a "mail server" and "file server" [07:22] ah [07:22] ? [07:22] but LAMP has all of those? [07:23] if you install the Ubuntu server edition, I believe you will get an option during install to have that, if it isn't default [07:23] aidrocsid: In other words, what you need is Ubuntu server [07:23] no, LAMP means something else [07:23] but doesn't that lack a UI? [07:23] GUI [07:23] aidrocsid: by default, IIRC [07:23] aidrocsid: you can get the same apps in the desktop version, just thought I'd mention the server/install [07:23] I can't install LAMP in a desktop version? [07:23] ok [07:24] yeah [07:24] I want to set up a headless server in my living room and use VNC with it [07:24] alkafoo: i coudnt get the divice wehn i re plugin in another USb port [07:24] honey__: are you using a laptop? [07:25] aidrocsid: no, LAMP just isn't exactly what you want, I suggest you forget you ever heard the term [07:25] alkafoo: iam using Desktop [07:25] lol [07:25] ok so is there anything better than VNC I can use to deal with this machine remotely? [07:25] honey__: odd for a desktop usb port to not be powered, but you could try yet another one [07:26] aidrocsid: graphically? [07:26] yeah [07:26] aidrocsid: no, VNC is the norm there [07:26] it needs to be able to use a graphical browser [07:26] ok [07:26] but I could SSH in to install things and what not, right? [07:26] and to administrate my servers [07:27] yes [07:27] what would i use for that on the server side? [07:28] System Monitor > Processes shows for Tilda 'Status=Zombie'.

[08:08] denote* [08:09] aaschez: Might be. It just shows that this partition is the one it boots from. Can't be sure. Try mounting them, exploring and seeing which is which. === a16g_ is now known as ypwong_ [08:10] nobody knows the command to load the sound prefernces? [08:10] aaschez: the boot * just means, that partitions bootable flag is set. [08:10] theadmin: Yes, that can be done. But is there way to also see the mount point of the installed system from LiveCD than exploring to confirm? [08:12] aaschez: I suggest to mount them manually, like this, hm, this is a bit tricky but will do, just explore stuff under /media thereafter: for i in {1..5} ; do sudo mkdir /media/sda$i ; sudo mount /dev/sda$i /media/sda$i ; done === flack is now known as flack-Z [08:13] Hi, I have a remote server and I mistakenly eject the DVD from the drive.

(not sure I'm saying that correctly) [08:18] I like fluxbox cuz I installed the backtrack 5 repositories on ubuntu 11.10 [08:18] Can anyone suggest an app/plugin for an app that would allow me to stream to an Ubuntu PC via AirPlay? [08:18] it turns ubuntu into a sortof backtrack version. I'd just install backtrack but it doesnt support my wireless drivers [08:18] which is odd since backtrack is now a form of ubuntu [08:19] x_: Ubuntu has no official fluxbox-based spin, sadly. Ubuntu officially supports Unity, XFCE, KDE and LXDE. [08:19] strange that the broadcom drivers dont work on backtrack but do on ubuntu when backtrack is a form of ubuntu [08:19] x_: Well, that is, there are "spins" for those, with Unity being the official version [08:19] * x_ loves XFCE!-) detests Unity:( [08:19] I HATE UNITY === jack is now known as Guest75740 [08:19] fluxbox is in the repos, just install it if you want to use it. why should there a "spin" for each and every WM on planet earth?

[08:52] they probably support the same encryption algorithms and have similar performance [08:52] encfs' license is better [08:53] if you care about that sort of thing (strangely some Linux users do not) [08:53] what do you mean by license? [08:53] I thought this is open source [08:54] open source isn't a license, it's a vague concept [08:54] encfs is GPL, truecrypt has its own proprietary license [08:56] alkafoo why does that matter though? [08:56] ldoes having a better licence make it more secure? [08:56] there are those that would argue that, yes [08:56] Do you know if the option to truecrpyt a file is available in the GUI? if so I missed it [08:57] thanks alkafoo [08:57] I believe the GUI has that option, yes [08:57] wireless: ot, what language was that? [08:57] IIRC it gives you a choice between using a partition and creating an encrypted filespace at some random location [08:58] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gujarati_language [08:58] you got it alkfoo [08:59] 01000111010011110100010000100000010010010101001100100000010010100101010101010011010101000010000001010000010100100100010101010100010001010100111001000100 [08:59] that's probably binary =P [08:59] heh [08:59] these are fun to translate =P [09:00] 4c:49:4e:55:58:20:52:4f:43:4b:53:21:21:21 [09:00] come on guys, please keep the discussion to Ubuntu support [09:00] heh [09:01] there's plenty of other channels for chitchat, like #ubuntu-offtopic for a start [09:01] okay sorry [09:01] sorry Myrtti [09:02] i have unity-lens-gwibber installed and have rebooted, but i can't figure how to access it. launching gwibber just gives the plain useless one [09:03] !notunity [09:03] 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 [09:03] elky: atleast for me it added another tab on the bottom of the unity overlay [09:03] similar to gnome 2? [09:03] * Sheldon_Cooper laughs [09:03] Myrtti, i just have the 4 that were there before [09:04] xfce is "gnomer" than that [09:04] er, unless you mean the sidebar thing, in which case, nope [09:04] I don't have the device I have it installed in handy so I can't check :-( [09:04] i dont give a fk whther gnome or not i just want something that works [09:05] JLuc: please mind your language [09:06] Myrtti, i also seem to be lacking some of the icons i see at http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Ubuntu-VMware-Workstation_2011-06-16_14-51-59.jpg [09:06] which is the worlds worst named screenshot... [09:10] !ping [09:10] another contentless ping... sigh... [09:11] !pong [09:11] pong is an old atari game. It's fun! [09:11] !ping [09:11] another contentless ping... sigh... [09:11] wireless: stop that pls [09:12] ubottu [09:12] Skype keeps silently freezing on me. Has anyone solved this problem? [09:12] yeah skype is pretty gay sometimes [09:12] switch to google talk [09:13] via empathy, thats what i ended up doing [09:13] empathy via google talk will let me use Skype? [09:13] whoah I didnt know there was a google talk [09:14] I know google talk is an alternative and I use it, but I have contacts on Skype that do not have google accounts [09:14] yeah [09:14] i still use skype, and it will freeze every two days on me still [09:14] what u have to do is learn to efficiently kill it, and start it back up again [09:14] its a beta release after all [09:15] the whole reason why i dont use skype is cuz nobody I know uses it...everyone uses there cell phone or e-mail, but I liike video being part of the conversation [09:15] version 2.2.0.35 or something beta [09:15] justin: every two days you say? I have it crash twice a day. I can fix it efficiently, the problem is knowing when I need to [09:15] fair enough [09:15] its a decent question [09:16] u described the problem correctly too,... it does freeze silently, thats for sure [09:16] I would really love to just cancel Skype, the problem is I cannot convince everyone to switch, and also I am not in the US so google talk doesn't work real well with calling phone numbers from here [09:16] its a shame microsoft bought it, potentially. [09:16] maybe i mean google chat? [09:16] i mix those two up [09:17] google chat, google voice... same thing :-) [09:17] u can still stay with skype, its just a matter of learning to be more attentive with it [09:17] wait i use google voice for my business number [09:17] it has video features? [09:17] lol.... you know what... it probably won't be too hard to write a script that lets me know when it crashes [09:17] do I need to download a program? [09:17] or can I run it from the browser? [09:18] this time in 12 months from now google voice/chat will Crush Skype [09:18] its pretty new still they aye [09:18] i really hope you are right [09:18] canada aye [09:18] anyone know how to set up proxies on google chrome or chromium in fluxbox? It gives an error when trying to configure proxies... [09:18] yeah, people are starting to have a bias against microsoft software, and at the same time a bais towards google products - which is good [09:19] it kind of reminds me of how people sign up to like 2 different social networking sites [09:19] hey wireless, how do i get my wireless going on fluxbox, btw lol [09:20] hi [09:20] i know a prostitute who only uses windows, how can i get her to use ubuntu?? [09:20] System Monitor > Processes > (right-click) any process name > (context menu shows the entry) "Stop Process". What is the equivalent action command-line command for it? 'man kill' lists4 possibilities for the Action=stop. [09:20] why is her profession relevent Operaist2 ? :-) [09:21] anyone know in ubuntu 11.10, classic, how to add items to the Panel, I no longer get an option on right click? === arif-ali|afk is now known as arif-ali [09:21] theishi: i don't feel like reducing a person to "somebody" it is quite rude [09:21] AdvoWork : i thionk its disale by default [09:21] Operaist2: lol how about my friend [09:21] AdvoWork: Do you speak about GNOME Shell 3 or not? [09:21] disable * [09:26] yeah gnome-panel needs to add more context button items [09:28] bullgard6: "stop" usually means "trying to terminate the process", so SIGTERM [09:28] openbees, any way to enable it? bullgard6 basically, fresh install of 11.10 but i set it to use the classic desktop instead [09:29] AdvoWork: I do not know the answer; I am using GNOME Shell 3.2.1. [09:29] bullgard6: sending SIGTERM also is the default kill-action, if no other signal is defined [09:38] how to i check which application is been monitor by apparmor [09:41] is there anyone around that knows a bit about kerrighed clusters? === gary_ is now known as Guest10683 === Guest10683 is now known as tux_revenge [09:43] theishi: what about your friend?? [09:44] http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Ubuntu-VMware-Workstation_2011-06-16_14-51-59.jpg <-- am i supposed to have the magnifying glass icons? because i don't... [09:48] How can I open dwg files in open libre ?? [09:50] is there anyone around that has some experience with SSI clusters? [09:52] NathanW, it's often better to ask your actual exact question, that way when/if someone shows up and knows, they can answer right away without having to first prompt information out of you [09:52] guys which is the best irc client for ubuntu unity? [09:53] there is no best. xchat is a popular gui client, irssi is a popular command-line client [09:53] best as in goes well with unity [09:53] am currently on xchat [09:53] i don't think there's an integrated one [09:53] thats sad, I am currently using xchat [09:54] but I dont receive notifications [09:54] notifications were working on classic gnome [09:54] What can you do with a SSI, (Kerrighed) ubuntu cluster, are you able to for instance install vmware on top of ubuntu and use the cluster to host virtual servers? what can you use a ssi or kerrighed cluster for? ive got about 20 machines laying around and wanteed to toy with somthing new but not sure what it can do exactly [09:55] niloy__, empathy can sort-of do irc, but it does it very badly [09:55] from what i uderstand clusters require special software eg like scientific math software, and not much els runs on them.. tho there is also some conflicting information there wich confuses me on what i can run on it once built...? [09:55] elky, what are u using? [09:55] NathanW, there's also askubuntu.com [09:55] niloy__, xchat [09:55] i can't connect by vnc to a mac machine, why? [09:55] elky do you receive notifications? [09:55] NathanW, that way you can ask your question and people can find it later on [09:55] keeps a black screen [09:56] thanks elky [09:57] hi all [09:58] hey so been back and forth complaingn about my World of warcraft not running in Wine because of my GPU but im wondering if the fact that i had a 32 bit of vista and now a 64 bit ubuntu could that be causing my problem, i found some drivers to DL from the web and use alien to open but because im in 64 bit its having problems, can i easuily change my OS to 32 from the 64? or should it not matter? === jack is now known as Guest53612 [09:59] hey what is this thing about "change to workspace above current workspace"? how do you get multidimensional workspaces? i only have workspaces lefet/right of current [10:00] isit32: Using alien to install RPM packages is not supported, also changing to 32bit would mean a re-install. [10:00] why is it not supported what is the supported alternative? [10:00] !alien [10:00] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [10:00] dang ocean are you just in here all day??? youve been helpin me all day [10:01] isit32: I think you're mistaken, I just returned to the keyboard... [10:01] well i found what seems like drivers for my awful GPU how would i go about implementing them into my new ubuntu OS? doesnt wine run 32 regardless? wuld switching to 32 bit ubuntu do anything for me? [10:02] i might be i just was in here but hours ago sorry [10:02] just like left and right workspace there are up and down workspace available for use. you can get 3d workspace switching with the help of compiz [10:02] .help [10:03] whoops disregard, was trying to pull up the help menu thingy [10:03] isit32: here's some documentation on running wine with ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine But I have so little experience with that, I could not tell you if switching to 32bit would help [10:04] no thats not what i need ive been thru all that im waiting for my vista os disks to get here tomoro as i have no choice to play wow i must use windows or upgrade serious hardware...i cannot do the latter atm [10:04] i was just looking around and i found some help for ubuntu 9.x [10:04] isit32: You do *not* want to use drivers converted via alien. What GPU do you have? [10:05] its some rpm files for a driver something or other and i thought id give it a shot [10:05] i have a ugly gpu so try not to laugh to hard its a : Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, === flack-Z is now known as flack [10:06] wow...you running WOW on that GPU? [10:06] ok so no alien i wont bother then, i want to dual boot [10:06] : i think there are procedures available for changing .RPM file to .DEB [10:06] yea see i know its not ideal but I HAVE NO CHOICE, just work with what i gots [10:07] Currently I am doing a 1GB apt-get install but need to switch to a faster link as this one is horribly slow, can it be interrupted in anyway so that I may resume on a faster link? [10:07] lol yea alien changes that, but you guys dont like it, and i cant change it str8 over because of the 64 bit os, thats why i was wondering if it would workj fine if my ubuntu was not 64 bit, perhaps my ugly GPU just cant talke 64 my vista was 32 [10:07] Can anyone here recommend a good package manager. I'm using Synaptic at the moment, But It doesn't have very good sorting options and categories. [10:08] vagothcpp: if you interrupt a apt-get install midway, it resumes from the point it left. [10:08] ...yes you can downloaded file will still in your system [10:08] isit32: You're probably not going get any better than the default Ubuntu drivers for Intel hardware. But at the same time those drivers should be pretty good. What makes you think you have a driver problem? [10:08] ola [10:08] ola [10:08] NimeshNeema, its still at the download stage, and i dont have time to redownload all [10:08] more [10:09] follamos [10:09] i can get into the game in wine but something is horribly wrong with the 3d graphics rendering or something [10:09] if i setup a kerrighed cluster, would i be able to setup apache and mysql on it and have it be able to use the cpu and memory on each node as if its one big smp machine? [10:09] fuck [10:09] fuck [10:09] fuck [10:09] when i look on the web many people have had problems with this intel integrated garbage gpu [10:09] CharminTheMoose: /abr damemas [10:09] is there an IRC command to disable reporting join / left channel messages? that stuff floods out posts by real people. [10:09] vagothcpp: the already downloaded content will not be downloaded again. it resumes apt-get handles it autometically [10:10] vagothcpp : don't worry u can stop that ..like if you already downloaded 300 MB , next time it will start for remaining 700 [10:10] i think i have to give up and come back to ubuntu full force once im on some decent hardware! [10:10] Innoecencio, That's entirelt based on your irc client === NathanW is now known as JonathanRW [10:11] so is there something you reccomend for converting RPM? [10:11] how i can create iso image of my dvd [10:11] to deb [10:11] iso image of your DVD? [10:11] mksogdne: The easiest way is to use Brasero. [10:11] you mean ISO image on your dvd? [10:12] sorry back to my question, RPM to DEb any safe way? [10:12] aahaaa thanks jonathon [10:12] isit32: alien can convert rpm to deb, but it is a last resort, try to find a properly packaged version in the repositories [10:12] no i mean i want to copy my kubuntu dvd into iso image file [10:12] isit32: You do *not* want to use drivers converted from RPM. Period. Don't try it. [10:12] ok ok [10:12] thankyou [10:13] this time i promise to listen, when i dont you guys have been right about the outcome! [10:13] Innocencio: you are using the webchat IRC client, use the icon in the top left and go to the options, there is a [10:13] Hide JOINS/PARTS/QUITS: checkbox [10:13] llutz_: Thank you very much for your help. [10:13] hi [10:14] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH thank you alanbell! whew man that's much much better! [10:14] how can I install back firefox 8 ? [10:15] can someone help me understand xorg.conf? [10:15] VictorCL: are you having a problem with the version 9? [10:15] yes keep crushing all the time [10:15] !pin [10:15] is useless [10:15] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [10:15] how i can create iso image ? [10:16] isit32: generally you don't need one, there are lots of old guides on the web detailing xorg.conf files, but these days it should just autodetect things and just work without one [10:16] thx :) [10:16] VictorCL: does it work fine in a guest session? it might be something in your firefox profile it doesn't like [10:16] I deleted and created a new profile [10:17] I think is firebug fault .. but I need firebug is the main reason I use firefox [10:18] VictorCL: firebug 1.9.0? [10:18] AlanBell, yes [10:18] AlanBell, when it makes an Ajax call .. firefox crashes [10:18] i found these directions on a website for jaunty what does this mean...'2 - open synaptic package on local/obsolete 3 - force install for all intel driver' [10:19] "a website for jaunty" means you probably shouldn't be using them for oneiric :) [10:19] ha, its just hard to find oneiric supprot with a gpu from 08 [10:19] jaunty is also EOL [10:20] eol? [10:20] !eol [10:20] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [10:20] danks [10:21] just grabbing at straws here as i kill time waiting for my vista disks, prob just get on my mac book pro to play for a while, im getting the itch [10:22] I think I have that GPU too [10:22] Okay, so I can resume my download from apt, BUT, what if I where to change my mirror as this seems to be more the problem [10:23] isit32: Vista? *shudder*.. *recommends Win7* [10:23] reccomends you send me the $ [10:23] whats a good gui package to record desktop specific area to mpeg4? [10:24] many of my problems arrise from a 'no other choice' situation [10:24] ie vista 32 ugh [10:24] lotuspsychje: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/help-test-new-screen-recording-app-eidete/ may do it [10:25] my firefox just gave me "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem" [10:25] isit32: I have the desktop version of that GPU, but I think your one is fairly unremarkable and in lots of netbooks and laptops, I am using the desktop version of it with Precise and full unity 3d [10:25] ActionParsnip: tnx mate but i tested eidete and it crashes my desktop, xvidcap runs much smoother but also bug on me [10:27] bbbbbbbb: try some firefox security addons like 'noscript' [10:27] alanbell im confused are you saying your using the same GPU as i? [10:27] lotuspsychje: i have it, should i disable it? [10:27] lotuspsychje: try recordmydesktop [10:27] ahhh you have it in a desktop comp i see [10:28] im sorry :) [10:28] bbbbbbbb: is there a firefox process running presently? [10:28] bbbbbbbb:no, noscript is very good [10:28] isit32: not quite, I have an 82945G, but not the mobile version of it [10:28] i take it you dont play heavy 3d games [10:28] lotuspsychje: okay, i thought it may have caused it [10:28] ahhh k [10:28] ActionParsnip: right now, yes [10:28] this is just a little atom motherboard desktop I use for testing [10:28] ok well do you use the ubuntu drivers? [10:28] ActionParsnip: i've also tested recordmydesktop, but encoding takes ages after recording the movie... [10:29] bbbbbbbb: you using facebook? [10:30] isit32: yes, the standard ones in the repositories, worked fine on Oneiric, I am now running Precise on it [10:30] bbbbbbbb: if you close it and run: ps -ef | grep -i fire | grep -v grep is anything output? [10:30] lotuspsychje: yes [10:30] AlanBell: happy with precise? [10:31] i've been trying to figure out how to get the panel/systray icon theme to change with unity, and no matter what i set it to I keep a regular Gnome classic like icon theme in the panel/tray (not the launcher bar.although i haven't got those to change either) is there some special trick to changing icons for the panel in 11.10? [10:31] alanbell what is precise? [10:31] godmachine81: tried logging off and on? [10:31] bbbbbbbb: you might install snort to see what intrusion is malicious or not... [10:31] !12.04 | isit32 [10:31] isit32: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [10:31] ActionParsnip: yes, gnome-tweak-tool too, as well as dconf-editor [10:31] k [10:32] If I where to resume an interrupted apt-get install (download phase) but change the mirror, would it still be able to resume? [10:32] ActionParsnip: nothing [10:32] when is 12.04 realeased? [10:32] lotuspsychje: generally, yes, though it broke a bit last night, but has generally been fun to play with. Precise support is in #ubuntu+1 [10:32] ActionParsnip: lsof | grep .mozilla/firefox doesn't give anything either [10:32] bbbbbbbb: cool, ok if you look in your firefox config folder you may find a lock or parent_lock file, if you move those out of the folder it should help [10:33] !release [10:33] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [10:33] ActionParsnip: but then it shouldn't launch in the first place ?! [10:33] bbbbbbbb: try: find ~/.mozilla/firefox | grep -i lock [10:33] VictorCL: April, the .04 bit is the month [10:33] ActionParsnip: nope, nothing [10:33] bbbbbbbb: its worth a shot, I've seen the lock file cause issues. [10:34] bbbbbbbb: thats good [10:34] hope 12.04 comes with an improve unity theme [10:34] more sexy :D [10:35] with command "dpkg -L slapd | grep cosine" i can see "/etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif" , but that file not there (i can not open it) [10:36] VictorCL: its largely the same [10:37] if i do "cat /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif" getting error cat: /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif: No such file or directory [10:37] saju_m: there is no file there [10:37] error is pretty clear [10:37] with command "dpkg -L slapd | grep cosine" i can see "/etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif" , but that file not there (i can not open it) [10:38] saju_m: dpkg is list listing a package - not a file [10:38] how install that file ?? [10:38] saju_m: or that file has been removed [10:38] see if the file is there [10:38] ls -la /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif [10:39] ActionParsnip: what else can i do? [10:40] bbbbbbbb: not sure dude, I ditched firefox loooong ago [10:40] ActionParsnip: i see [10:40] anyone else? [10:41] ikonia: ahem, "dpkg -L slapd" list files installed from given package, so it should be there [10:41] saju_m: try: dpkg -S cosine.ldif [10:41] Yeah, I'm an idiot. I've managed to forget my nick password. Did three possible / likely tries at "/msg NickServ identify" but it doesn't come back to me... Is there a way to reset or change my password? (I know that strictly speaking this is offtopic. I have asked elsewhere, but don't get any reply.) [10:41] llutz_: yes, it lists the package files - not what's on the system [10:41] saju_m: it will show the package name providing the file [10:41] llutz_: just because dpkg -L lists a file doesn't mean it's on the system [10:42] ikonia: if its not existing, someone has deleted it. right [10:42] Bergcube: ask in #freenode for irc nick passwords [10:42] slapd: /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif [10:42] llutz_: or a bug in the package (doubtful) [10:42] !nickserv [10:42] ikonia: very doubtfull [10:42] i installed slapd [10:42] saju_m: then you can reinstall the package, or download the deb, extract it and copy the file in manually [10:42] saju_m: did you check the file with "ls -la" as I said [10:42] that's why i wrote "should be there" [10:43] ActionParsnip ~ Have done; no response. [10:43] ya [10:43] ls: cannot access /etc/ldap/schema/cosine.ldif: No such file or director [10:43] Bergcube, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#sendpass [10:44] bbbbbbbb: have you checked if your history file is actually locked? fuser -v $(find ~/.mozilla -name places.sqlite) [10:44] saju_m: there you go then, file not there, confirmed [10:44] Bergcube: /msg nickserv help [10:44] ok [10:44] Jovaro ~ Thanks. That was help! [10:44] is it safe to use Ubuntu 12.04 now ? [10:44] no [10:44] Bergcube: that's where it gets done. They will email you a password reset email [10:45] Hoyt: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (still alpha). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [10:45] Hoyt: it will be safe on release day, not before [10:45] Hoyt: no [10:45] Hoyt: but people have different definitions of safe and stable [10:45] * Bergcube will be back. (He hopes!) [10:45] i'm reading the Wiki here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [10:45] so Ubuntu has to import Debian's package firstly ? [10:46] 13 [10:46] January 12th [10:46] A-2 [10:46] LTS DebianImportFreeze (Mon) [10:46] Hoyt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:46] oops , sorry [10:46] i mis clicked the middle button [10:47] Hoyt: correct [10:47] Hoyt: and that date is the last day for doing that [10:47] oh , right [10:47] Hoyt: but for something like that i would suggest #ubuntu+1 [10:47] i'll try [10:49] where can i set windows to 'not maximized' so they can be closed not in upper bar [10:51] Greetings! [10:51] lotuspsychje, upper bar of the window, or the top panel of the de? [10:51] my 11.04 keeps hanging [10:52] my 11.04 keeps hanging and when it does any open files, such as Firefox or Gnome config files, are corrupted [10:52] I'm trying to move my HTPC over to linux, I was wondering if anyone knew of a linux equivalent to phonetray free? [10:52] I've even lost regular files [10:52] vagothcpp: my ante is older and it confuses her, when she cant find the close button of a window, instead of main unity bar (active) [10:53] oCean: where is it in a portable firefox? [10:53] bbbbbbbb: no idea, why would you use portable? [10:53] basically a program that displays caller id info on the screen when an incoming call comes in, and allows me to block certain calls [10:53] lotuspsychje, so where DO you want the close button [10:54] oCean: i.e. to be able to use it on a different computer [10:54] vagothcpp: in a smaller minimized window [10:54] bbbbbbbb: you're not using ubuntu? and the firefox from the ubuntu repositories? [10:55] natale a cortina [10:55] !it | Abjects [10:55] Abjects: 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) [10:55] How do I change what apps start up at boot? [10:55] oCean: i am running ubuntu and use the firefox from the repositories, i installed it portable [10:56] jonathon, applications or services? [10:56] system - settings - sessions and startup [10:56] if you mean apps and not services ofc [10:56] err I got that backwards it seems [10:56] bbbbbbbb: I'm not sure what you mean, but generally all the configs/settings/history is in your homedirectory under .mozilla [10:56] * Humbedooh blames his keyboard for this..! [10:56] Actually I'm not sure where it'd be, But let's try both [10:57] yes. but you can install it so that everything is in one place, on a thumbdrive for example. i used a manual from the forums somewhere - it may be in my bookmarks but i can't access them === go8765 is now known as go8765|off [10:58] would there be a way to extract my bookmarks from the corrupt profile? [10:59] bbbbbbbb: when you run locate mozilla | grep bookmark what does it return? [10:59] ActionParsnip: wich browser are you using? [11:00] bbbbbbbb: "find ~/.mozilla/ -iname book*" [11:00] /usr/share/mime/application/x-mozilla-bookmarks.xml [11:00] llutz_: nothing [11:00] bbbbbbbb: no, that's not the one, you need the files from your .mozilla directory [11:00] bbbbbbbb: try locate .mozilla [11:01] oCean: the only others are png files in the installed folder. icons. [11:01] lotuspsychje: i flip between arora and chromium daily build [11:01] bbbbbbbb: you still have to find where your settings etc are stored, try locate .mozilla [11:01] So how would I edit startup apps? [11:02] oCean: nothing, you mean the profile folder? [11:02] bbbbbbbb: yes [11:02] ActionParsnip: is chromium safe enough?..never tested arora [11:02] its in the program directory itself [11:02] bbbbbbbb: I mean, the profile folder is somewhere under .mozilla too (in a normal install) [11:02] bbbbbbbb: so, what is the program dir? - you have to see if the places.sqlite and bookmarks file etc are there [11:03] lotuspsychje: its been fine for the last 3 releases here [11:03] lotuspsychje: many don't try other browsers. kinda sad [11:03] bbbbbbbb: I never used FF in a portable install, so I'm just trying to get an idea [11:03] oCean: the places.sqlite is there [11:04] ActionParsnip: i agree on not testing new stuff, many good unused packages out there [11:04] bbbbbbbb: ok, run fuser -v /path/to/places.sqlite [11:04] bbbbbbbb: that should show if another program is locking that file [11:05] nothing. [11:05] there is a bookmarks.html - but it only shows the standard bookmarks, my bookmarks were all under "unsorted" [11:05] lotuspsychje: many use firefox due to familiarity, but then again thats why they used Windows. They try something new and look what happens ;) [11:05] lol [11:06] chromium is nice [11:06] bbbbbbbb: I have no clue how this portable install is configured, sorry. [11:06] phix: many browsers can be hijacked these days... [11:07] i like links2 :p [11:07] lotuspsychje: Sure, but usually the issue is not with the browser but a problem between the seat and the keyboard [11:07] also the browsers are tested and such before being added to the repos [11:07] phix:true [11:08] ActionParsnip: do you use unity? [11:08] ActionParsnip: so an updated firefox can't be hijacked? [11:08] lotuspsychje: "Congratsulations! You are the one millionth visit! click here to download and install an application and you will get monies and a prise!!" [11:09] How can i keep a pything script running non stop in terminal?? [11:09] chelz: no I use LXDE+Openbox [11:09] phix: lol [11:09] lotuspsychje: any web facing app can potentially be hijacked, which is why ubuntu has users run it as user [11:10] ActionParsnip: that does sound pretty good. did you try xfce before that? [11:10] UniTe: put "&" (without quotes) at the end. or do alt+f2 and run it in that [11:10] ActionParsnip: meaning if the can get in, they cant run root rights? [11:10] not sure if alt+f2 runs in newer ubunuts [11:10] chelz: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png [11:11] chelz: ive tried xfce, it's not bad [11:11] lotuspsychje: exactly, they will only get user [11:11] ActionParsnip: very organized, or fresh install there [11:12] chelz: lubuntu+wallpaper+faenza icons [11:12] chelz: so 'python something.py &" and then press alt+f2 ? [11:12] i'm thinking of xfce. hoping it's gnome2-ey enough. i'm keeping lxde and stuff in mind pretty soon [11:12] UniTe: well "python something.py" will let you use that terminal for other things, but if you close the terminal it goes away. alt+f2 runs it in the background and won't go away until i think gnome quits [11:13] er "python something.py &" will let you use that terminal for other things* [11:13] chelz: awesome, exactly what i wanted [11:13] so, now i have a new profile created, put in the old places.sqlite, got my old bookmarks. yay. now, is there a way to get my saved passwords?

[11:16] chelz: which one is it? [11:16] hmmm [11:16] bbbbbbbb: you could try extundelete to recover your old data [11:16] bbbbbbbb: key3.txt file, and the signons3.db [11:17] or key2 / signons2 [11:17] lotuspsychje: its still there, just corrupt. [11:17] chelz: okay, i'll try [11:17] Hey all. What happens to if a job is scheduled with at or cron and the system is no running at the scheduled time? For example if the system is a laptop that is not on. Is the queue reviewed at startup. Or is the job just gone until and if it is scheduled to repeate? [11:17] wwwd: if its off, it will be missed [11:18] wwwd: you could schedule in BIOS (if it supports it) to power on at a set time [11:18] wwwd: depends, if you have anacron installed, it should care about those jobs and run them later [11:18] wwwd: yeah jobs get skipped [11:18] some crons do the wait thing [11:18] does cron in ubuntu skip stuff? [11:19] chelz: yeah, awesome. now i just get my old addons and i'm done. thanks! [11:19] bbbbbbbb: good :) [11:19] . [11:19] Could there be a script that checkes past jobs? Or alternately looks for results. I.g a backup with a given date? [11:20] bbbbbbbb: btw i found that answer through a quick google. if you need that kinda info in the future you could try google [11:20] chelz: i know [11:20] but i'm on a really slow connection right now [11:20] 3g sucks balls at some places [11:21] chelz: i put a & at the end and it didnt quite work the way i wanted.. [11:21] bbbbbbbb: i agree on the 3g lol, try links2 for browsing [11:21] UniTe: its output and stuff still displays, just if you hit enter you get a new prompt [11:21] oh ok [11:22] UniTe: you can redirect the output to a file if you want. or look into something like nohup, screen, or tmux [11:22] lotuspsychje: i'll look into it, never tried actually using textbased browsers. thanks. [11:22] chelz: is there anyway i can close the terminal and keep it running? [11:22] !info links2 [11:22] links2 (source: links2): Web browser running in both graphics and text mode.

[11:23] bbbbbbbb: yeah it really rox [11:23] chelz: what would i type if i wanted to redirect the file so i can close the terminal and let the script continue running? sorry im new to ubuntu :) [11:23] selam [11:23] hi [11:23] hi [11:24] is there any way to install latest ATI driver using any ppa? i mean latest driver version is 11.12 [11:24] UniTe: well if you hit alt+f2 does a thing called "run command" pop up? [11:24] driver from repo. is not good enough and has issues with gnome-shell [11:24] er "run application" [11:24] chelz: yes it sure does [11:25] !ati [11:25] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [11:26] UniTe: well ok, just so you know the only way to stop the python is to do "kill $pid" from the terminal and you can't interact with it, like reattach to a terminal [11:26] chelz: thats is fine :) aslong as i will be able to kill it at somestage lol [11:26] UniTe: you'd do something like "python something.py >> ~/something_log.py" [11:27] UniTe: >> appends to the file you specify, in this case ~/something_log.py [11:27] abhi_: what ATi chip do you have? [11:27] chelz: thanks heaps.. ill try that now [11:27] UniTe: and just stdout, not stderr. stderr is 2>> [11:28] how can i run a command on reboot ? [11:28] abhi_: can I PM you please?

[11:32] .log files are kinda seen as text files, it's a log not a .py python script [11:32] chelz: oh ok :) [11:32] Hello everyone - I've just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell Studio 1558 and need to install the wireless firmware that I think I've correctly downloaded after googling. I've done this on my Windows partition as I'm unable to use an ethernet connection in my Ubuntu partition. Would anyone be able to help with how to install this firmware? Thanks in advance. [11:32] Oraiz: what ethernet chip does: sudo lshw -C network say you have? [11:32] UniTe: well, i really recommend looking into screen and tmux. they do a much better job of dealing with stuff 'out of the way'. google has some good simple guides [11:33] how can i run a command on reboot ? [11:33] Chees_BHW: create a cronjob "@reboot ...." but be warned, that also will run if you restart cron [11:33] chelz byobu is an extension of screen, it's even easier [11:33] Oraiz: i would think ethernet should work [11:33] Hi Action - I'm in Windows at the moment, so unable to do that. :) [11:34] chelz: alright will do.. thanks again [11:34] Yes, ethernet does work, but I'm at work and don't have access to the router. :) [11:34] MonkeyDust: yeah byobu is pretty fancy i've seen/heard. i haven't used it so i don't know if it's more or less complicated for a beginner [11:34] Oraiz: aha === xy is now known as k [11:34] chelz: does it need root access? [11:35] llutz i did this but its not working. Im trying to run a shell script in screen. but instead the shell script it says: 'sleep 720' when i run ps aux. sleep 720 is part of the shell script. but it says screen is not runing [11:35] ActionParsnip: which one? ethernet? no i mean i just googled about the dell studio 15 whatever and didn't really see anyone complaining about ethernet [11:35] Oraiz: does the ethernet work under ubuntu though? [11:36] ActionParsnip: Yes it does, however I'm unable to use it at the moment. [11:36] Chees_BHW: do you have "your command something like?: screen script.sh [11:36] Chees_BHW: you'll have to read how to create a detached screen-session. cronjobs have to tty, so i guess thats why screen fails to load [11:37] have no tty* [11:37] Oraiz: something to try: sudo rmmod -f dell_laptop [11:37] Oraiz: from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434737&page=2 [11:38] Oraiz: worth getting hooked up and updated etc [11:38] Chelsz, yes its like this in crontab: @reboot screen script.sh OR @reboot screen /path/script.sh [11:39] Action: Yes it is, but I'm not able to until this evening - I was just wondering if there was a simple way of grabbing the firmware in Windows then installing it from the hard drive in Ubuntu. [11:39] I guess I'll have to be patient and wait until later to use Ubuntu. ;) === k is now known as xy [11:40] Chees_BHW: that might be due to trying to have arguments to stuff in the crontab [11:40] Chees_BHW: http://askubuntu.com/questions/23009/reasons-why-crontab-does-not-work [11:41] tnx [11:41] Oraiz: there might be but if it's like bw fwcutter it does a script to dl a file [11:41] chelz: if it needs root access you can add it in /etc/rc.local be sure to add an amperand to the end of the command so that it doesn't make the boot hang / wait til th script ends [11:41] ActionParsnip: ah that's an idea [11:42] Chees_BHW: try "@reboot screen -m sh -c 'path/to/script'" [11:43] chelz: add it above the exit 0 line [11:43] ActionParsnip: is there a better way than "su someuser -c script.sh" to run something at start as a user? [11:44] chelz: sounds great to me :) [11:44] how can I change the rights for a sym link from root to another user? [11:45] Amr0d: you can't [11:45] chelz, is the path in quotes ? [11:45] llutz_: ? [11:45] Amr0d: even if its owned root:root, it has the same permissions as the linksource [11:45] Can't I use something like chmod ? [11:45] Amr0d: you can't [11:46] that sucks ::( [11:46] Amr0d: thats how symlinks work [11:47] Chees_BHW: protection [11:48] how can I use phpmyadmin then if its not located in the websites folder? llutz_ [11:48] Amr0d: all users have full access to the symlink itself, the thing linked to will have its own ACL [11:48] Amr0d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin [11:49] Amr0d: no idea, i don't use that [11:49] so instead of using the root user I could use the normal website user to link the item? [11:49] #join rrd [11:50] Amr0d: that wikipage has a guide on how to set it up. do that [11:51] chelz: pma is already installed with Plesk, that's why I am trying to get symlinks working :D [11:51] Amr0d: look at its symlinks section [11:51] Amr0d: do it. do it noww [11:52] yes sir [11:52] :) [11:52] Anyone know what I need to do to get a e1000e NIC (82567LM) up and running again on Natty running on an Dell E6400 laptop? [11:52] sveinse: does network manager do anything? [11:54] dhelz: Nope. It sais disconnected. ifconfig lists eth0. but dhclient eth0 never returns [11:54] Strangely enough ethtool eth0 reports No such device [11:55] wow...first time i've tried ubuntu...it looks great! different though...took me several minutes to find out the close program X in firefox is hidden and on the left, like a mac. [11:55] ^^ chelz [11:55] Hi guys! Does anyone know where Remmina RDC stores the passwords? [11:55] I lost the password to a remote computer than this is the only place where I have it, I'm looking for a way to retrieve it. [11:56] Hi, i an trying to install ldap in ubuntu 11.04 based on article https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html, I installed ldap success fully. Now i an trying to configure TLS and SSL. and i stuck there in command "ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// [11:56] " [11:57] rumba: maybe like ~/.remmina or ~/.config/remmina [11:58] wth hell is going on. got this window popped up a minute ago http://imgur.com/x9cC3 [11:58] i dont understand this [11:58] Yeah, found it, now I have to decrypt it...

[12:14] gdane: probably someone [12:14] lol [12:14] gdane: should just be another monitor [12:14] Can someone please suggest a GUI text editor for web dev (will be mostly editing hand-written .js .css and .html) with code folding and bracket matching for ubuntu 11.10 [12:14] i need glasses to test it with my ubuntu netbook [12:15] but i am not sure what glasses i need to buy [12:15] !ide [12:15] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [12:15] NimeshNeema: geany [12:15] ive read that someone mixed vuzix 920 with linux [12:15] Umbrello is a UML editor isn't it? [12:16] NimeshNeema: but try out the other ones in that list. emacs/vim are the best [12:16] it worked well as second monitor nothing more [12:16] gdane what's vuzix? [12:16] gdane: if you can try them out in the store you can bring in your computer. or try googling model numbers [12:16] vuzix wrap 920 [12:17] bluefish is good for web development [12:17] i googled, google said that wrap 920 is working well [12:17] heh heh i like the name foor the windows key...the Meta key. [12:18] the new windows gui is also called meta [12:18] really? i retract my scoffing laugh! [12:18] or komposer [12:19] chelz: Thanks. It describes my issues, but the remedy does not work [12:19] I'm trying to run minecraft from the .exe with wine, and it said i need java runtime 1.5.0. What should I do? [12:19] sveinse: test package doesn't work? [12:19] dariushall21: why? there is a version that will just run from the jar [12:19] dariushall21: There is a native Linux version of Minecraft, isnt there? [12:19] dariushall21: You'll still need !java, obviously [12:20] Yes, but I have used the .exe before and it ran a lot smoother on a pc with lower specs than this one [12:20] And I have open jdk but I want the commands for installed oracle java [12:20] on windows? [12:21] chelz: Using upstream e1000e driver packages, does not work. I get "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready" despite the switch and the NIC link led is active [12:21] No on a linux computer, with lower specs than this one and it ran smoother than from the jar [12:21] NimeshNeema: komodo edit, geany or kate [12:21] I cannot for the life of me, get minecraft to run smooth on this computer. [12:21] dariushall21: Java is no longer allowed to be distributed with Ubuntu, so you have to get it from Oracle [12:21] chelz, so I presume this is still an open issue then. *sigh* [12:22] sveinse: does it show up in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149 [12:22] er [12:22] sveinse: sudo lshw -C network [12:22] hateball dariushall21 you need opendjdk, it's in the repos [12:22] sveinse: the stuff i'm reading says it should've been fixed a few ubuntu releases ago [12:22] dariushall21: how many frames can you get?

Yes, the issues on the links you sent me were related to eeprom NIC issues. This is not my case. It _is_ PM issues against the NIC [12:23] I even tried the multi threading for dual core and it still doesn't help at all. [12:24] dariushall21: have you tried reducing everything, like no background apps, no compiz, a sparse DE/WM set up? [12:24] I have 6 gigs ram, 2gigs of dedicated video ram, and 2 amd phenom dual core processors at 2.4 each [12:24] chelz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/802878/ [12:25] I play on the un-maximized screen with render on tiny, and graphics on fast [12:25] dariushall21 like aeon-ltd says: use a light window manager, less resource consuming [12:25] ActionParsnip, do you know how to disable PM on the NIC? [12:25] What's a light window manager?

[14:19] yeah it came stock on the 11.1, haven't figured out how to change it yet. [14:19] I accidentally created a new user account instead of signing into my existing one [14:19] Innocencio: Maybe you try "method 2: Ubuntu Tweak" from the page you mentioned [14:19] and I can't seem to find where the configuration files are stored [14:20] mmoebius: ty i will try that. [14:20] Innocencio: If not, com back here and pester people until you get an answer ;M-) [14:21] is there a reason why my ubuntu install chromium works slower than when im running chrome in osx???

[14:23] gametstr: about ppas? i don't use them, i'm just aware they exist [14:24] ah ok. [14:25] maybe I 'll read a bit and try compiling it myself.. hope I have better luck like that [14:25] Is there any tool for compressed files(rar, zip, and all the other extensions) that makes a queue of files to extract instead of trying to extract them all at once, like the fedault arquive manager done?

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.4 64bit and have the iso in teh same folder as Wubi.exe but it is ignoring it and trying to download the latest version. Any ideas? Thanks [14:33] nixmaniack: i will ask this too [14:34] AlexStacey: any reason you need to use wubi?

[14:37] nixmaniack: use dd [14:37] SuperMiguel, dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdc [14:37] SuperMiguel, is that it? [14:37] i think sdc1 [14:37] hello [14:37] SuperMiguel, or do I need anything else to add to dd? [14:37] e.g., copy only folders/file.txt , but not folders/subfolder [14:38] AlexStacey: to be frank i can't understand why wubi still exists (when you can dualboot, use livecds or vms) [14:38] nixmaniack: $ sudo dd if=F12-Live-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M [14:38] SuperMiguel: why bs=8M [14:38] SuperMiguel, yep saw that for Fedora. but will it work for Ubuntu?

[14:39] ok i will try just now [14:40] SuperMiguel, i didn't mean that! Is the ISO for both distros are created in same way? cuz i have seen some iso don't boot with dd method [14:40] nixmaniack: same way [14:40] gametstr: as opposed to deleting a partition? i don't get what is so complicated about that? [14:40] SuperMiguel, okay.. I'll try right away [14:40] auronandace: I see your point, though in the past I've always found it to be a super easy solution. You get a one-click dual-boot with no worries about filesystems or partitions or bootloaders.

Not too easy for someone who is not very bash familiar. [15:17] lucidguy: ok, so what are you looking for then ? [15:17] lucidguy: you said any suggestions, that is the best way to do it unless you have enterprise estate managment setup, which I'm guessing you don't [15:17] ikonia: any other ideas. [15:17] janko_: are you using the proprietry drivers for the ati card?

The default which is unique to every system, and another that is identical to all systems used for nfs entries to servers etc. [15:19] it seamsto by that seamonkey are a older version one the webpage is a newer one [15:19] ikonia, but I know it's not available system wide though right now [15:19] john_doe_jr: adobe reader already is on partner repository i belive [15:19] hi there channel :) [15:19] janko_: to find out if it is the driver you could uninstall it and use the open source drivers [15:19] john_doe_jr: what do you mean "available system wide" [15:19] lucidguy: no, there is only 1 fstab [15:19] xangua: method 0 is not accessible [15:19] auronandace same thing [15:20] ikonia: Do you see how that would make this much easier, because then I can simply modify a master fstab file for the nfs entries and replace all workstations with that file. [15:20] ikonia, well I think I have to place it in /usr/bin/ to make sure that it is available @ the command prompt right? [15:20] janko_: hmm, what is the cpu usage like? is it often high? [15:20] page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick is outdate [15:20] lucidguy: it doesn't matter if that would make it easier, it doesn't work like that so it's a pointless suggestion [15:20] auronandace, no, about 30% max [15:21] john_doe_jr: echo $PATH - anything in those directories you can invoke by just typing the command [15:21] ikonia: Just stating a fact ... [15:21] it's not a fact [15:21] did anyone install ADK (Android Development Kit with Eclipse) under Ubuntu? [15:21] it's you wanting a solution that doesn't exist [15:21] janko_: i'm not sure what to suggest sorry, does this just happen in ubuntu? do you run other OS's that overheat too? [15:22] lucidguy, you could just as easily write a script with a bunch of mount commands in it and distribute those to the workstations [15:22] ikonia: it WOULD be easier if one could have multiple fstabs. One for unique local filesytems and one for network wide standard mounts like nfs .. .that scenario would be easier.. so my comment is a fact [15:22] i was having win7 and not overheat [15:23] yermandu: feel free to help update it [15:23] lucidguy: it would be easier if you learnt to accept the limitations and worked within real life solutions [15:23] sure that i will post when work [15:23] lucidguy: plus I don't think managing multiple fstabs on one machine is easier, so it's not fact [15:23] aethelrick: I agree .. I already have a puppet environment in place, so I can manipulate all these systems quite easily. But unfortunately all their fstabs are very different minus the nfs mounts, So I'm forced to create an inteligent script to tweak them all. [15:24] janko_: odd, perhaps you could try a lighter desktop like xfce or lxde (i'm grasping at staws now i think :)) [15:24] lucidguy: why don't you just append the new line you want [15:24] lucidguy: no inteligent script required then, just append to the bottom [15:24] ikonia: because I would need to remove the old entry somewhere else in the file before appending the new entry. [15:24] Did anyone install Android SDK under Ubuntu? [15:24] lucidguy: maybe a 1 line sed command [15:24] lucidguy: if you have setup your puppet environment correctly, it's hardly any effort [15:24] dury: no - just ask your real question [15:25] !hdd [15:26] oCean: I was thinking maybe all standard network mounts should not have been added to the systems fstabs .. and have the puppet client manage mounting nfs mounts. But unfortunately the puppet environment came after all these manuall fstab entries. [15:26] ikonia: I got problems to run android SDK under ubuntu [15:26] gulzar ; nope , it doesn't work [15:26] dury: ask the real question [15:26] lucidguy: if there is an existing entry, 1 line of sed can swap it out [15:26] Hi! [15:27] ikonia: I believe you .. looking into sed right now. [15:27] what are the requirements to install Android SDK under Ubuntu [15:27] dury: read the website [15:28] lucidguy: you may find it a simpler sed task to break it into 2, 1.) delete old line 2.) append new [15:28] lucidguy: it's 2 lines, but it maybe easier for you than a massive find and replace string [15:28] dury: You can check the Android documentation, they guide you through it there [15:28] ikonia, I'm trying to open a pdf from the command line w/ the Adobe Reader binary file...it won't work...how would you go about doing it?

[15:33] nbubuntu: np :) [15:33] john_doe_jr: that's one of them, if you open the package manager and search for the applications ubottu gave you twice, you can install them [15:33] john_doe_jr: those applications are then part of your desktop experience [15:33] ikonia, adobe isn't in repository [15:33] john_doe_jr: rather than having to load applications from the command line [15:34] hi [15:34] john_doe_jr: you don't need 'Adobe' to open a PDF, there is an alternative already installed [15:34] john_doe_jr: I know adobe isn't that's why I had ubottu give you links for different pdf readers [15:34] !pdf | john_doe_jr [15:34] john_doe_jr: The Portable Document Format is created by Adobe; PDF files are viewable in Ubuntu with Xpdf, Okular, Evince and also Adobe Reader (free download, but closed source) === barry_ is now known as bstin [15:34] how to resolve it ,c i can't work with my wifi [15:35] ikonia: done .. sed 's/oldservername/newservername/' fstab > fstab.new; cp fstab.new fstab [15:35] hello! I'm looking for a "easy to use" package, for indexing and managing any documents, with possibility for tagging and categories and virtual folders. for endusers and easy indexing documents per partion. [15:35] lucidguy: sed -i 's/oldservername/newservername/' /etc/fstab [15:35] ikonia, I'm just gonn use xpdf [15:35] john_doe_jr: that's a good plan [15:36] ikonia: ooo .. even easier. though I probably want to preserv the previous fstab just in case. [15:36] ikonia: does synaptic provide Eclipse? [15:36] dury: have a look [15:36] lucidguy: whatever works best fo ryou [15:36] for you [15:37] ikonia: thanks . .I forgot how easy search and replace was with sed. [15:39] hi, I'm trying to do sudo shutdown now ..... [15:39] and get * Killing all remaining processes... [fail] [15:39] HEY [15:39] and it will not shutdown === Cinober|OFF is now known as Cinober|Off [15:39] mosx1: you could try 'sudo init 6' which will restart it === Cinober|Off is now known as Cinober [15:40] mosx1, you could try "sudo poweroff" or "sudo shutdown -h now". IIRC those should work [15:40] I want to shut it down [15:40] привет всем [15:40] есть кто с россии [15:40] !ru | evgeniy [15:40] evgeniy: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke.

[15:41] !partner [15:41] (09:33:54) john_doe_jr: ikonia, adobe isn't in repository - it is on the partner repository [15:41] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [15:41] airtonix, evince ..what is that? [15:41] mosx1: "halt" [15:41] john_doe_jr: it's a document viewer [15:41] evince is a pdf reader [15:41] k, thx [15:41] or document viewer pdf style [15:41] john_doe_jr: which means viewing more than just pdf [15:42] xangua, looks like xpdf works fine for me === katerina is now known as Guest7692 [15:42] hola [15:42] hola guest [15:42] alguien habla español [15:42] xpdf is the best [15:42] si claro [15:42] es que soy gest porke soy nueva [15:42] !es | Guest7692 [15:42] Guest7692: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[15:42] que bueno [15:42] john_doe_jr: i'm pretty sure all you had to do was double click on the icon of the pdf. [15:42] no se como cambiar [15:42] el nick [15:42] whats the tool which shows directory structure [15:42] airtonix, no way...double click the .bin file? [15:43] airtonix, totally didn't think of that one [15:43] john_doe_jr: ... [15:43] john_doe_jr: notice how i said pdf and not bin? [15:43] tengo xubuntu y no se como añadir temes en la carpeta .themes, no me deja copiar las carpetas de themes que me descargue. porque? alguien sabe [15:43] delinquentme: ls -la [15:43] john_doe_jr: or did you miss that part?

[15:44] airtonix, I like adobe reader [15:44] john_doe_jr: well that makes sense if you like vim [15:44] guest7692 yo te ayudo [15:44] john_doe_jr: Adobe Reader is extremely bloated. [15:44] yep xpdf is better [15:44] selina2: in what way? [15:44] jutnux: everything Adobe is bloated... :P [15:44] selina2: Please use #ubuntu-es, #ubuntu is english only.

[15:45] yea [15:45] selina2: as in more simple than evince? [15:45] john_doe_jr: adobe is too bloat.. evince is fine.. for more eye candy Okular is a win but adboe is surey a bad choice [15:45] airtonix, honestly I love the text to speech properties of adobe reader but google's chrome tts kicks butt [15:45] selina2: i'm not sure you're using the same version of evince i am using [15:45] evince is alright [15:45] let me see [15:45] Have any of your tried it? [15:46] selina2: zathura [15:46] como añado temes en xubuntu [15:46] soy muy nueva en esto [15:46] 3.0.2 [15:46] john_doe_jr: yup that one feature of text reading is good but not better than reading with eyes [15:46] selina2: no you obviously are using some insane vim'ified version of evince if xpdf is easier to use ... [15:47] lol which version you use [15:47] selina2: the one that's easy to use and doesn't require installing [15:47] airtonix: selina2 : if xpdf is simple then see " zathura " [15:47] gulzar: i think you need to read what i typed again. [15:48] gulzar, I hate reading something....I crack up the speed on my TTS and I can read all kinds of things fast [15:48] lol [15:48] airtonix: OK... [15:48] john_doe_jr: tts on anything other than at&t natuarlly speaking is fairly subpar [15:48] john_doe_jr: I can rad 700 words a min. [15:49] airtonix, have you tried "speakit" plug in for google chrome? It is great! [15:49] regarding ubuntu friendly, and the testing. should it be done with or without manually done fixes to represent "what can be made to work" or "what works out of the box"? [15:49] gulzar, well I'm a bit slower than that [15:50] john_doe_jr: i will have a look, but i'm a pesimist and am going to assume it's just going to use standard tts libraries on linux. [15:50] john_doe_jr: I am practising to read faster... with some techniques :) [15:50] jadahl: it? [15:50] jadahl: both [15:50] both? [15:51] i cannot submit "works" and "not works" at the same time AFAIK? [15:51] airtonix, nope google created it so it's got to be good [15:51] my wireless connection keeps dropping on my netbook. i'm using a fresh install of 11.04 [15:51] i'd use wicd, but it freezes up the system just to connect [15:51] gulzar, what are your techniques? [15:51] scott3, I'd go to system > hardware > install new hard ware [15:52] john_doe_jr: I paid for them.. :P [15:52] gulzar, yup, not gonna pay for them...I'll just crack up the TTS [15:52] john_doe_jr: about 2K [15:52] john_doe_jr: that's actually alot better than what i've heard before [15:52] john_doe_jr: I like to read so I spent there [15:53] john_doe_jr i'll try that now [15:53] john_doe_jr: cheers for that [15:53] john_doe_jr: its all depend taste === Guest95869 is now known as oakdog8 [15:53] airtonix, so you installed 'speak it' chrome plug in?

[15:55] jadahl: ask in #ubuntu-testing [15:55] thanks [15:55] moi [15:55] ? [15:55] @justin on the sidebar as a trashcan [15:56] great [15:56] i had a look their [15:56] on all sidebars [15:56] it doesnt show up [15:56] which are better gdesklets or scrrenlets? [15:56] airtonix, I totally told you wrong....I have "Select and Speak0.1.8" installed [15:56] are you using unity? [15:56] 11.10 ye [15:56] airtonix, it's way better than speak it [15:56] found it [15:57] cheers [15:57] I'm about to install xubuntu 11.10 on my laptop and thinking about select home folder encryption. What do you think about hard disk/CPU performance after it? [15:58] Is there a key you can hit to bring up the grub menu in ubuntu 10.11 ? [15:58] g0to: depends on your hardware and you use [15:58] g0to: why do you want encyption ? [15:58] geekbri: hold down shift [15:58] ikonia: thank you! [15:58] I have a question concerning Samba Sharing with Windows 7: I have a setup where everyone can access the share folder (read) but not everyone can write (only 2 users can write/read). How do I set up windows 7 to automatically log me in as a user that can write? Right now it just logs me in as a user that can read (guest)? [15:58] I'm running an old processor, Core 2 Duo U7700, and maybe I can fell it slowly [15:58] g0to: that is not slow [15:58] I'm aware that this is a Ubuntu Channel, nevertheless its somehow related ;) [15:59] g0to: again, why do you feel you need encyption [15:59] I can't boot into my ubuntu partition for some reason [15:59] WhiteOwl-m: it's not related, use ##windows or ##windows-server channels [15:59] ikonia: do you think it can handle on the fly encryption well? [15:59] all I did was edit xorg.conf to enlarge the virtual screen size [15:59] !ping [15:59] so that I can use two monitors [15:59] another contentless ping... sigh... [15:59] g0to: again, why do you feel you need encyption [15:59] now it refuses to boot [15:59] ikonia: I want my data to be safe while I'm outside home [15:59] -_- [15:59] ok ikonia, thought maybe someone had experience with that :p [16:00] g0to: why not encypt the file you need rather than your whole partition ? [16:00] g0to: actually, do what you want === dan is now known as Guest37400 [16:00] hi [16:00] ikonia: I just want to encrypt home folder, not a partition [16:00] g0to: that seems overkill to me, but do what you want [16:01] g0to: for some people the /home folder is a seperate partition [16:01] does anyone knows how can i set the default sound card from command line on 10.10 ? asoundconf is not available anymore, i tried to install it anyway but it does not work... [16:01] ikonia: and I don't want to pay attention of what I encrypt and what I don't. Just all or nothing [16:01] g0to: go for it then [16:01] ikonia: thanks, I would try it ;) [16:01] my machine stops booting after checking battery state [16:01] hi [16:02] The python script i am trying to run is running really slow, if there command i can use to speed it up and use asmuch RAM or CPU as possible? [16:03] UniTe: perhaps #python would be a better place to ask [16:04] auronandace: nah i mean a command in ubuntu terminal to run the script itself [16:04] john_doe_jr : i'm unable to find "add new hardware" anywhere. i've removed unity, so maybe it has something to do with the path you gave me. [16:04] scott3, what's your ubuntu version? [16:04] UniTe: sounds like a badly written script to me, hence i referred you to #python [16:04] 11.04 [16:05] Is there a reason I can't change a users password as root in single user mode on ubuntu 11.01? [16:05] err === zalbisser_ is now known as zalbisser [16:06] scott3, alright...just a sec [16:06] UniTe: the only thing that would make a difference is the nice level (think the process priority), but that would only really matter if you are running other programs that are using lots of CPU resource, in which case that's the main problem. but applications aren't limited in what resources they use by default, so if something is running slowly, maybe it's just something that takes time on your system. or maybe there is some other bottle-neck, like file I/O [16:06] or network I/O, those are relatively slow things [16:06] It's System > Administrator > Hardware Drivers [16:07] scott3, did you do a update and upgrade ? [16:07] john_doe_jr: yeah, a few times since i've installed 11.04 [16:08] scott3, sudo apt-get upgrade ? [16:08] ts2: yea that makes sence.. thanks mate [16:08] no problem [16:08] scott3, first sudo apt-get update [16:08] then sudo apt-get upgrade [16:08] john_doe_jr: but its always been sketchy. update/upgrade gotcha [16:09] scott3, that will take a while [16:09] scott3, but then you should have the drivers you need [16:10] john_doe_jr: i used unetbootin to download/install ubuntu on this machine. I've noticed that puts out a netbook specific version, but that version wasn't avail. suggestion? [16:11] how to connect to the wifi connection in kde, it is not getting connected? [16:11] Can you dual boot windows and ubuntu? [16:12] john_doe_jr: that is to say, i noticed ubuntu puts out a netbook specific version of ubuntu. but it doesn;t show up as an option in unetbootin. suggestions [16:12] scott3, honestly I don't have any experience with doing that so I can't tell ya [16:12] There is no netbook specific version any more, to my knowledge. [16:12] scott3, are you trying to do a pc recover or something? [16:13] Knada2012: yes [16:14] !unr | obelus scott3 [16:14] obelus scott3: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. [16:15] josn_doe_jr: no, i just rarely used my windows partition, so i reformatted to a single partition. that has turned out to be a bad choice, which is another subject altogether [16:15] xangua: cheers! [16:15] scott3, I'd always use a virtual machine if I was you [16:15] scott3, virtual box or vmware [16:16] john_doe_jr, i have zero experience with either....not even sure what they are/do [16:17] scott3: virtualisation is awesome, you should try it [16:17] quit [16:17] !quit [16:17] third time's the charm [16:18] could you elaborate on vitualization? i'm in the dark literally === Shyne- is now known as shyne [16:18] scott3: it essentially pretends to be a computer inside your computer [16:19] scott3: you can install different os's in multiple vms [16:19] auronandace: so something like wine? [16:19] in redhat there is option with rpm -c to check config files of pack is there any command with dpkg or apt ? [16:19] scott3: wine is not an emulator, it is a compatibilty layer [16:19] scott3, you could use virtualbox ....its free [16:20] hmmm, guess i'll lookerup and checkerout [16:20] scott3, but those things your describing allow you to run the ubuntu os from a USB ....it's nice but virtualization is the way to go [16:22] yes if you have a copy of windows you can run it in virtualbox on your ubuntu install- thats what i do [16:22] john_doe_jr: unetbootin allows me to create a usb version of the Disk ubuntu sends ya. i can install various linux versions [16:22] if you are using ubuntu then use startupdisc creator not unetbootin scott3 [16:23] startupdisc creator will do the same thing but leave you with a usb where you can save the changes, use unetbootin for other distros [16:24] or there is the 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux [16:24] yea that is basically the same as unetbootin i think. but thats the one to use if you are in windows for sure ActionParsnip [16:26] in windows use universal usb creator by pendrive linux, in ubuntu making ubuntu use startup creator. in linux making a generic linux distro usb then use unetbootin [16:27] they all do the same thing basically, but trust me i have used these tools over and over agian [16:27] Hello, I've tried e-mailing the maintainer of the chromium-daily PPA, anyone know how to get Precise added to its build list? [16:27] I get "/dev/sda1 was not cleanly unmounted" on every boot of ubuntu server 11.10.. doesn't seem to have any implications; Is this a problem? [16:27] Where can i find a guide on how to remove all of gnome and unity from 11.10 [16:28] lunitik: thats down to the maintainer, its their porogative if it gets added or not [16:28] I've changed my password in ubuntu with passwd, and i can login via TTY but when i try to login through the graphical login it tells me my password is incorrect. Any clue on whats going on here? [16:28] TheBuntu: if you uninstall xorg, the rest will fail deps and be marked for removal [16:28] hmm nice idea ActionParsnip [16:29] ActionParsnip: If they are not responsive though? It says it is maintained by a bot... [16:29] geekbri: are you the owner of all of your home folder? Is there enough free space on the drive(s) [16:29] Did a recent update utterly destroy nvidia/xorg for anyone else? :D? [16:29] ActionParsnip: yes and yes [16:29] hi, is there any way to recovery data from unformated external hd? [16:29] ActionParsnip: it tells my the PW is wrong. [16:29] lunitik: email should still work, someone surely maintains the bot [16:29] ActionParsnip, i want to stip it.. to just a command line.. then install what i want [16:29] franz_: possibly with photorec [16:29] ActionParsnip: as I said, though, I did that, and no reply at all [16:30] or would i be better off just useing the net-install [16:30] Myrtty is gtk or qt? [16:30] TheBuntu: You'd be best off using the minimal CD (netinstall) [16:30] !minimal | TheBuntu [16:30] TheBuntu: 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 [16:30] franz_: neither, it's a commandline tool, installable with installing package called "testdisk" [16:31] is there a file manager, where it's possible easyly to make "virtual folders" and aquire metadata (text comments) to the files? [16:31] Desktop no longer boots into graphical mode; startx complains about trying to load "nv," though I'm certain that's not the driver I was using.

Was the kernel updated yesterday?

Done E: Couldn't find package libmp3lame-dev [17:09] glioross: Next time, here's a tip.

Done Package libmp3lame0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[17:10] adom: how can i see if i have the corrrect repos enabled? [17:10] If they are commented out -- uncomment them. [17:10] Hello. I have a machine running the latest version of ubuntu. I would like to create an encrypted partition somehow. (Need to store and work with some very sensitive files.) However, this is an already running system, so I can't reformat the drive. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to do this? [17:10] Then run: apt-get update [17:10] /etc/apt/sources.list [17:10] glioross: read Cyrus's posts above [17:11] I keep getting messages like this one: "Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory". What should I be looking at?

[17:12] Someone can tell me that chromium file stores passwords. [17:12] hitsky: Can I do that "retroactively", without losing any existing data? [17:12] glioross: no dont add the word "multiverse" after "universe" you need lines just for "multiverse" [17:12] Cyrus: no [17:12] use apt-cache search to search for package [17:12] does anyone have any experience configuring vino? [17:12] noahnoah, be really careful with it, what it does by default, is encrypt your ~ [17:12] beyond their basics [17:13] (10:41:45) ActionParsnip: pangolin: ~/.config/chromium someplace... julian [17:13] it will auto-decrypt on login though, but to undo it you need to backup your files then remove ecryptfs [17:13] glioross: you need to add the multiverse repos to your sources.list [17:13] and yeah, you can do it without losing anything [17:13] hitsky: Interesting. Data I want to encrypt is actually on a second drive. (Not the boot drive.) Does it create a new partition, or just a "file" based FS that is encryupted? [17:13] adom: how can i do this. i am new to all this [17:13] glioross: You need to look at: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Add_Extra_Repositories [17:13] ^ [17:14] There's a lot of documentation about how to do this stuff glioross. I promise. :) [17:14] xangua, mmm lo que pasa es que necesito saber el archivo exacto, para hacer un script. [17:14] :D [17:14] veo muchos... [17:14] noahnoah, it makes some files which are encrypted, and when decrypted, it mounts a virtual filesystem on top of it [17:14] hitsky: Ahhh, that reminds me a bit of true crypt. Similar approach [17:14] Cyrus: I am new to all this. The doc looks chinese. Can you tell me what to do ? [17:14] glioross: follow Cyrus's link to learn about adding repos to your sources.list, then add them, then update, then try installing libmp3lame0 [17:14] I'll read up on it now. Thanks@ [17:14] noahnoah, i think it has the same code lol [17:15] how do you change the list of supported locales in ubuntu? [17:15] Truecrypt is great. [17:15] kinda [17:15] glioross: Do you or do you not have a GUI on your installation? [17:15] but you wont be able to use soft links very good [17:15] as it will appear that your home folder is a different partition [17:15] Problem is that I would prefer to have a partition just "mount" on boot with the proper password. (Like a true encrypted partition.) [17:15] !locales | hanasaki [17:15] Cyrus: if he's new and he's trying to do things with mp3s, i doubt its server [17:15] hanasaki: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [17:15] Cyrus: I dont know. It is a dedicated server in which I only can access the root using putty... [17:15] adom: Heh. ^ [17:16] i stand corrected [17:16] * Cyrus chuckles. [17:16] * adom removes foot from mouth. [17:16] You can never presume! :( [17:16] truth [17:17] adom: I'm more of a Solaris guy -- but wouldn't adding multiverse at the end of his three entries suffice? [17:17] Cyrus: yeah should be fine. if it were me id try copying the universe lines, pasting, then changing "universe" to "multiverse". should be fine...someone correct me if im wrong [17:18] Well I think it's worth a shot, at worst he can't apt-get update again and he undoes his change. [17:18] glioross: Are you following what we're saying? [17:18] pangolin: thanks... already did that and made sure " en_HK.UTF-8... up-to-date" is not selected... however it is built on locales-conf [17:18] How can I take a snapshot of a /dev/videoX from shell? [17:18] Cyrus: exactly [17:19] * Cyrus pokes glioross. [17:19] pangolin: in plain debian.. dpkg-reconfigure locales brings up a list of locales to choose... localepurge brings up the same list however locales not chosen are still being built.... [17:20] Cyrus: to add multiuviverse next to universe ? [17:20] Right, at the end of the line for all three. [17:21] glioross: it needs to be spelled correctly: multiverse [17:21] Oh, of course. Sorry, I didn't even catch that. [17:22] you don't add "multiverse" to the end of the line, you add new lines to the end of the sources.list file with "multiverse" at the end of each of them === Cinober is now known as Cinober|OFF [17:22] adom: It doesn't matter. [17:23] ok just added it.. i cant quit vi.. esc and :quit gives me an error E37 no write since last change (add ! to override) [17:23] glioross: :q!

[17:24] Okay sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0 [17:24] glioross: Honestly, you'd be better off using nano. I am pretty sure it comes by default with Ubuntu. [17:24] xangua: he's running server, not desktop [17:24] worked and i installed mp3 lame perfectly [17:24] glioross: you need to run apt-get update first. [17:24] do i need to remove multiverse from repos ? [17:24] or it doesnt matter? [17:24] doesnt matter really [17:25] imo [17:25] glioross: No, you should keep it there. [17:25] flack: I would not remove it. Keep it. [17:25] pici: okay ffmped is installed as well as mp3 lame.. The converted still not working metatropeas.com .

I installed ffmpeg and mp3lame and the site is still not working [17:27] <_serial_> glioross: look up pacpl [17:27] Pici: does that run in mozilla? [17:28] UniTe: nautilus, dolphin, konqueror [17:28] UniTe: no. Its a standalone program. [17:29] glioross: What does that have to do with installing ffmpeg and lame on your server? [17:30] Pici: the script requires the installation of ffmpeg and lame [17:30] Pici and llutz: thanks [17:30] glioross: You're running the script that powers that site on your site? [17:31] Pici: that script is installed on my server. and i am trying to use my server to convert the videos [17:31] UniTe: only thing about filezilla is it doesnt support SCP portocol, ONLY ftp or sftp [17:31] winscp is the only gui program ive seen that still supprots scp [17:32] glioross: Where is this script?

[17:37] thise are file managers not ftp programs [17:37] i have the lg gt540 optimus [17:37] altho i use nautilus to connect to sftp sites [17:37] Pici: i bought that script from a developer. And the developer is not responding to emails [17:37] Daxter: oh lol [17:38] what type of protocol are you using to conenct to your remote site?

[17:45] Any tips? [17:45] ActionParsnip: but nothing will download from software centre or terminal.. [17:45] sparschwein: you just want to copy photos from your Android phone onto your ubuntu computer, is that correct? [17:46] @adom: yes it is =) [17:47] Is there some way to list reverse-dependencies for a package? [17:47] sparschwein: when you connect your phone, on the phone select "Turn on USB storage", then you should be able to access your files/photos like a usb flash drive. does that work? [17:47] I want to see all of the packages that depend on a particular package, X. [17:47] acuozzo: apt-cache rdepends X [17:48] Pici: Thanks! [17:48] can I ask for little help here? I am having some network issues on my Ubuntu Desktop - can browse but can't install any app [17:48] acuozzo: Theres also the apt-rdepends pacakge, for doing recursive (reverse) depends. [17:48] UniTe: if you run the command ubottu gave, is it smooth? [17:49] Pici: Does `apt-cache rdepends' only print the reverse dependency tree one-level deep? [17:49] UniTe: see if updates are installing (check taskbar/unity crap) or reboot [17:49] anyone interested in seeing (besides me) Proxmox 2.0 kvm/openvz/ISCSI/ZFS working on the next version of Ubuntu? Here I have it working on DEBIAN see the last 4 articles posted at wanfuse.blogspot.com...should be easy enough to translate to ubuntu...problem is that most of it is touchy about kernel versions [17:49] sparschwein: should just pick up as a usb storage device when you connect it, yuo should get a prompt on the phone to mount the SD card to the OS [17:49] send me the script ill take a look at it [17:49] I use qemu-kvm and virtualbox. [17:49] acuozzo: yes. [17:49] whoops wrong chan [17:50] Pici: OK, thanks. [17:50] UniTe: I use the same OS [17:50] More questions about encryption: I want to find some kind of partition or block device encryption, so individual files aren't encrypted but the whole "container" is. What is the current "best" option? [17:50] Pici: OK, thanks again. It looks like it's safe to uninstall xinetd on my machine. [17:51] Pici: _nothing_ I do stops it from running. [17:51] noahnoah: TrueCrypt [17:51] noahnoah: You could try Truecrypt, pretty friendly and nice. Creates virtual hard drives too [17:51] sorry i have to look, how i can choose this [17:52] UniTe: if you install the app to automount usb (on the phone) then it won't ask you [17:52] Daxter: I looked at that. Seems like a good options. Only concern is that I have to manually mount the partition on boot. (Not the end of the world.) In the past, I've worked on machines (not mine) where the partition was encrypted. Once I booted and entered the password, everything was seamless. But, if the machine was ever stolen, (and powered off.) then the partition was encrypted. I'd like to figure out how to [17:52] implement that type of system. [17:53] i feel me like a stupid person because i dont now how to choose this setting [17:53] ActionParsnip: oh, sorry, i got it mate cheers :) [17:53] noahnoah: That's called "luks" I beleive and is a Linux standard.

[18:01] @the admin and an username? === lonewolf_ is now known as Guest42952 [18:01] sparschwein: Well if you want to change a password for a user other than the current one, it'd be "sudo passwd USERNAME" [18:02] i had change my password but i don´t iḱnow it know so i have to change it in the recovery mode [18:02] theadmin: okay thanks =) [18:03] hi, if i reinstall ubuntu while keeping my encrypted home directory intact, can i still access my files afterwards if i choose the exact same username and password? [18:03] denis: Not that simple, you'll need to manually mount the encrypted home yourself. [18:04] which is the most compressed format that can be used? [18:05] theadmin, so i install with "encrypted home folder" enabled and then mount the encrypted folder to the right position afterwards? [18:05] denis: Yeah I suppose [18:05] franz_: You mean the most "powerful" archive format? I suppose that'd be LZMA (7-zip) [18:06] theadmin: and i can't just specify my home partition as being mounted to home during the installation? [18:06] to /home i mean [18:06] denis: I'm not sure if that work... [18:06] theadmin I need to save data to my hd, but I haven't too much space, so I need to ultra compress files [18:08] franz_: 7z -mx=9 a something.7z your_file1 your_file2 ... [18:08] franz_: I don't think it'll get much higher than that [18:08] theadmin, ok as i don't want to lose any files i'll walk the extra mile (and backup beforhand) [18:08] theadmin: thanks === flack is now known as flack-Z [18:09] denis you can use your /home partition in install, the only thing you need is Don't mark to get formatted, and set another username, to don't get mixed config who can conflict [18:09] Question about mounting a second drive. (root, etc. on main drive.) Right now, I have a directory named "/media". Then mount the drive on that directory as "/media/data" Ubuntu lists it as a "removable device", which is *not* what I want. I'd like it to just mount on boot as /data and be a "permanent" part of the filesystem. [18:09] algum brasileiro?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:09] denis: you can specify where your /home is during install, choose "advanced" at the partitioning portion of the install. Backups are always a good thing to have. [18:10] noahnoah, thats done in fstab, I think. and you dont need to use the /media directory [18:10] Thanks! [18:10] denis: when you select where /home is make sure to uncheck the format box. [18:11] pangolin: i know that it is possible to do that, the question is if ubuntu is able to pick up my home directory then or if it overwrites it [18:11] pangolin: ah ok [18:13] noahnoah: ubuntu will lsit anything mo9uted in /media as a removable dewvice, mount it somewhere else and naultilus wont show it on device list (at least this is how 10.04 works) [18:13] Daxter: That makes sense.

[18:48] btw Im on live cd ubuntu [18:48] I might be wrong.

[19:52] Hey there, I am having trouble with a slow SSH connection to my remote server [19:53] Vathsal: blue dump? [19:53] angryferret: Can you be more specific / detailed? [19:53] dddbmt: i think vlc can do that [19:53] ya i have win 2008 as guest os, it boot and in mid gives me a blue dump error [19:53] I want a bootable SDCARD that i can put into my netbook that will allow me to either boot from the harddrive or the sdcard's iso file that i will set up [19:53] i have googled it a lot but no luck === barry_ is now known as bstin [19:54] wildwind, any tips on what I should google? [19:54] RokcStar: That's pretty easy to do, if the iso you're trying to boot is an Ubuntu iso. [19:54] so no, huh? [19:54] for conversation sake, lets say it is :) [19:55] Sure, I am trying to ssh into my server. It takes a long time. I did a verbose login and it shows key: /home/nabil/.ssh/id_dsa ((nil)) I tried to set GSSAPIAuthentication no but it is still very slow to [19:55] do you have any resources that you used to make this possible? [19:55] sorry the key portion with nill is where it takes a long time === Mud is now known as Guest98843 [19:55] I have an RTL8111 gigabit ethernet card. If I allow it to be initialized in the interfaces file my computer takes several minutes to boot. Is there anything I can do? [19:55] Other than comment out the lines [19:55] dddbmt: "vlc streaming" i suppose. but id may depend on what kind of stuff you want to stream from internet [19:56] Jordan_U - That is on my client machine [19:56] can you use apt-get or some apt-* cmd line script to install an already downloaded .deb file? [19:56] i'm rtfm but no luck [19:56] It even goes slow if I copy my ssh keys to the server. [19:56] test [19:56] RokcStar: Do you already know how to install grub another drive (with /boot/grub/ being on said other drive)? [19:56] yqy test [19:57] perlstein: cant you put the dled filke into the apt chache and then install normally? [19:57] i guess i should state the root problem is that we have a bootstrap problem [19:57] angryferret: sudo dpkg -i something.deb is one way, sudo gdebi something.deb (if gdebi is present) is another. [19:57] Oops [19:57] Hi! I'm trying to make an xfwm theme.. Going good, but title_full_width=false in themerc does not work.. Can someone help me? [19:57] Daxter: i don't know how to do that...? [19:57] sec [19:57] wtf why doesn't the package manager have apache? [19:57] perlstein: sudo dpkg -i something.deb is one way, sudo gdebi something.deb (if gdebi is present) is another. [19:57] Vathsal: change BusLogic to LSI Logic SCSI or vise versa [19:57] put the file in .var.apt/cache.. ithink that was it i dont remember the cache direxctory [19:57] theadmin I guess that wasnt for me :D [19:57] angryferret: Indeed, a misclick [19:57] theadmin: for some reason that *seemed* not to install the deps of the package [19:58] angryferret: Sorry about that [19:58] but put your file in there and then install..and it will think the package wass already downloaded before [19:58] Jordan_U any ideas? [19:58] last night a dj saved my life [19:58] perlstein: dpkg doesn't, gdebi does [19:58] theres probably other ways of ddoing it too.. [19:58] no, Jordan. I've read an article on GRUB but i never really attempted it. I thought i would come on here and ask if anyone had ever heard or tried this. Since you're saying you've done it, i guess my steps would be to read on how to do this. [19:58] thank you guys [19:58] redkowi : let me try [19:58] angryferret: No, sorry. [19:58] if i could use apt-? that would be best [19:58] k. [19:58] any tips other than manually injecting it into apt cache? [19:59] apache server metapackage is what I want right? [19:59] I'm pretty excited about learning how to install and edit GRUB tho. im sure by doing this i can learn quite a lot [19:59] what was the name of the program to make usb stick bootable with ubuntu ISO? [19:59] unetbootin [19:59] thanks perlstein [19:59] Could someone help me with the init.d script for thttpd? http://paste.ubuntu.com/803359/ It's exiting at line 36, verified by adding echos at various points in the file to see where it gets to. I'm familiar with most of that script, except for the if statement the 'exit 0' in question is within. I don't see where $ENABLED would even be set, so I'm hoping it's a simple error in the files... [19:59] ...creation that someone may be able to point out. [20:00] Anyone else know why an ssh Login would be very slow? [20:00] Hi! I'm looking for a software that understands my remote controller and performs presetted actions, in windows I used eventghost. Any names? [20:00] wildwind, okay. thanks alot - I'll try check it out. Hope I can get my pc into the bedroom instead of in front of the tv ;) [20:00] how do i open up all in one sidebar for firefox [20:01] angryferret: SSH login seems to be slow when my minecraft server is near full. i would guess it's related to server load and/or netowrk traffic [20:01] *network [20:01] enapupe: in a terminal use xev to see if the key presses are recognized then use xbindkeys to map to keyboard controls with the key codes from xev [20:01] I'm trying to make an xfwm theme.. Going good, but title_full_width=false in themerc does not work.. Can someone help me? [20:01] Zegrento7: Might want to ask in #xfce [20:01] OK, thx. [20:02] dddbmt: first check if your sreaems format is supported by vlc [20:02] *streams, sorry [20:02] jekotia - I don't think so,- there is 15+ GB of free space, the server is only running a private web server so there should be not load on teh CPU the network load cant be an issue as it has a 100MB Internet connection. [20:02] Mbs* [20:02] RokcStar: First, for this you'll need to understand two grub-install parameters. 1: "--boot-directory=/path/to/boot/directory/" This option specifies where grub's modules go and where grub will look for its grub.cfg. You need to mount the partition on your sd card somewhere, let's say /mnt/ and specify "--boot-directory=/mnt". The second argument you need to know is the device argument, like /dev/sdb. This should be a drive, and *not* a partition like ... [20:02] ubluntu: nothing happens when I use the remote, other events appear ok [20:02] ... sdb1. So if your SD card is /dev/sdb you might install grub to it by running "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ && sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdb". Do you understand? [20:03] yes, drive not partition [20:03] enapupe: logitech remote or ? [20:04] ubluntu: let's say its a generic [20:04] enapupe: does it show up in lspci or lsusb or lshw ? [20:04] It's a ps2/usb oc controller.. [20:04] pc* [20:04] RokcStar: Once you have grub installed to the sd card, you can create a grub.cfg for loop booting an Ubuntu iso following this guide: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F [20:04] enapupe: oh I thought it was like a media remote ... [20:04] ubluntu: it's more like a gamepad [20:05] wildwind, I will do that. thanks [20:05] Thanks Jordan [20:05] enapupe: yea im not really sure if it doesn't show up in xev .... i'd make sure it was showing up to the system at all [20:05] RokcStar: You're welcome. [20:05] I'm off to play with Grub! [20:06] ubluntu: and may I check this using one of those 3 commands you just said? [20:07] enapupe: yea i'd check them out see if it shows up [20:07] Goodbye! [20:07] ubluntu: would you take a look if I paste the output in pastebin? [20:08] enapupe: sure [20:08] ok, 1minute thks [20:08] i need an email client that is reliable. i got thunderbird but it doesn't notify me when new emails come in. and even when i have the window open, i have to click on a folder to see if something new is in there. what are u guys using? any suggestions for either a new email client or addons that will make my life easier with TB?

[20:28] ok_wait: no [20:29] ikonia, is there an easy way of telling what the command for an open application is (aside from using top and telling the app to use a bunch of cpu)?

[20:36] noahnoah: yes [20:36] noahnoah rsync is faster than cp [20:36] noahnoah: although cp is fine too [20:36] noahnoah: so don't be scared to use it [20:37] Is there anyway to do something like an md5sum on an entire directory?

[21:15] ok [21:15] stercor: easy with gparted [21:17] MrCraig: is the issue that you don't want fpc-source? because it is only recommend, so you can uninstall it and keep lazarus [21:17] will Gnome help me with my problem you think? [21:17] Gentoo64: I guess I need guidance with gparted. The problem is determining where the data ends to know where to create the new partition. [21:17] its weird because the light on my keyboard works but not the screen light === x0e is now known as x0ee [21:18] stercor: gparted shows how much free space you have [21:18] stercor: it doersnt matter, gparted will move any data [21:18] trims - the lazarus ide actually depends on the fpc source for it's visual editing functionality. Without it, the ide is more or less useless over a simple text editor. The IDE does complain at start-up that it can't find the source units it needs.

Audio works fine in RythmBox, just need help understanding how to get and add whatever makes video codecs available [21:19] stercor: just make shure power won't go off during the process :) [21:19] MrCraig: it should pull it in, recommends are usually installed by default [21:19] !dvd | patriceok [21:19] you need libdvdcs2 [21:19] patriceok: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

It does install the compiler, but the sources are neither a dependency of the compiler or the ide [21:21] I lost the sound from my speakers recently, is there something I can try restarting to get it back? === jeff__ is now known as MacBook [21:21] quick question - is the CPU intel i7 2600K compatible with the ubuntu 11.04 "amd64"?

What file do I need to modify so the dns will resolve the name? [21:22] well I know it's a 64 bit CPU but the "amd" thing confuses me [21:22] Calinou: amd64 is just a generic name for 64bit [21:22] ok. so it should work :) [21:22] stercor: in gparted, just click resize, and drag the bar to whatever size you want, thatd give you unallocaterd space, then you can format that space to whatever fs you want === me is now known as Guest74173 [21:22] n2diy: are you sure it is not a hardware problem, or that the volume is to 0% (either on the system or on the speakers) [21:23] Calinou, yes, double checked the cabling and on/off switch. [21:24] and the volume control on the panel. [21:24] n2diy: tried alsamixer? [21:25] Calinou, I guess what I want is the command syntax to restart alsa, or alsa mixer [21:25] stercor: I agree with Gentoo64. There are cli methods, but I believe gparted does more safety checking. Always back up data, though. [21:25] elhacker [21:25] try tab-completing "alsa" and using "man" on those commands... I dunno [21:25] sound works fine for me - I have a headset/mic [21:26] Calinou, roger, thanks. [21:26] Gentoo64: Resize is grayed out. /dev/sda5 has all of the unused space. It doesn't show in the mount table. Can I assume that it's unmounted? We're doing things that can have awful consequences, such as bricking the computer, aren't we? [21:27] bricking? :) [21:27] stercor: you shoulfnt break anything,. can u post screenshot of gparted? [21:27] stercor: YOu do have backups of imporntant stuff?

[22:00] Calinou: how about this, re-install 'nvidia-current' ?? or install it [22:00] it's already installed, but I may try [22:00] it's something with config files I think [22:00] I will get a new computer very soon... and it will have 11.04 [22:00] (gnome 2 > gnome 3) [22:01] Calinou: alrighty === Fraxtil` is now known as Fraxtil [22:01] until when is 11.04 supported? [22:01] 2013? [22:02] MonkeyDust: next october [22:02] Thanks for those who helped me! [22:02] october 2012 [22:02] whats the chan for c? [22:02] MonkeyDust: if you're talking about desktop [22:02] Aliv3: ##c [22:02] if a version goes unsupported it still works, but no official packet updates [22:02] Myrtti it's not for me, it's for Calinou [22:03] How should I go about installing software on Karmic, now that it's unsupported? I'm trying to install php5-xmlrpc but apt-get is giving me 404s. [22:03] PPAs may be used, and manual installs too [22:03] thanks [22:03] Fraxtil: upgrade to a supported version [22:03] Myrtti: you can't apt get when a distro is unsupported? [22:03] that sucks ;_; [22:04] i'm totaly pissed cause i get that damned panic occurred error :x ... have really no idea how to go over it [22:04] how am I going to do, to have a distro which uses gnome 2? [22:04] sorry for noob [22:04] xangua: that would be a rather painful process, given the hardware and level of access i have, unfortunately [22:04] the old releases servers are moved to some archive-server. so yes. you CAN still use apt-get. but you need to change your sources.list/configs [22:04] !eol [22:04] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:04] Calinou: you could live without gnome2, xfce is great [22:04] dr_willis: phew... [22:04] auronandace: xfce seems pretty good :) I may try it [22:04] Gnome2 is basically dead. time to move on. :) [22:05] well I liked it ;( [22:05] Calinou there's also this http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [22:05] * dr_willis reccomends Lubuntu for old-skool type desktops. Or try the gnome-shell-gnome-2 projects [22:05] gnome 3 is ok, but no panel stuff (you cannot add a system monitor in the taks bar for example) [22:05] actually, you can [22:05] Calinou: i think theres indicator-applets for that. [22:05] also, does xubuntu have a correct working 11.10? [22:05] Calinou there's a PPA for MyUnity, as of 12.04 it will be in the repos [22:05] it's just that they do not use the same panel as gnome 2, and thus the old stuff won't work [22:06] kde plasma-desktop, its gnome2 but updated, yes martha you can configure just about anything [22:06] like not having to use "previous linux versions" at every boot because of gray screen [22:06] Calinou: clairfy what you mean... [22:06] Calinou, the new panel is extensible using javascript and there is a site that indexes extensions. the new extensions are quite a bit prettier than the old [22:06] Calinou: no problems here with xubuntu 11.10 [22:06] if I boot my computer without using grub (not holding shift), I use 32 bit pae and 3.0 kernel [22:06] > gray screen, bad resolution [22:06] i cant remember where i found it, but there is an independent extension that gives you a system monitor on gnome 3 taskbar [22:06] if I use previous linux versions I used non-pae works fine [22:07] PAE does work fine on this computer [22:07] Calinou: you can add a system indicator (16:05:38) Calinou: gnome 3 is ok, but no panel stuff (you cannot add a system monitor in the taks bar for example) [22:07] Calinou, https://extensions.gnome.org/ [22:07] sounds like pae and your video drivers are having issues. [22:07] there are a few different ones that handle monitoring-esque tasks [22:08] also, brightness resets itself on every reboot, even with non-pae [22:08] Hello, I was in here earlier trying to get help getting my mouse working, and I have my problem partially fixed, but now, Every mouse button I press is detected as button 1 [22:08] didn't occured before [22:08] Any ideas on how to fix? [22:09] Hi all, my Xserver crashes under oneiric when the system is under heavy load. I've placed the log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/803492/. Where do I take it from here, I have no exprience with Xorg problems [22:09] beneathkarma - have you tried using the dconf editor? [22:09] also I'm probably just going to use 11.04... I use manual installs for games/programs (better when backuping), and since I hate upgrading === flack-Z is now known as flack [22:10] had a very bad experience of upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04. :/ [22:10] Calinou: i always fresh install [22:10] Calinou it's always a better idea to backup and fresh install the newer version [22:11] hi all I'm trying to install Ubuntu LTS 10.04, and the installer only detect /dev/sdb , but i can see the disk where i want to install (already an old ubuntu): on /dev/sda. I see /dev/sda with fdisk -l ... are they some options to correct this ? [22:11] please [22:12] i need to install ubutu p35-ds3 raid 0, no disk [22:12] aljanv: you are using the custome/somthingelse installer option? if you are doing a clean reinstall. you could delete the old ubuntu install [22:13] dr_willis: no standard install graphic. [22:13] sometimes specific programs lock up, i'd like to see what is stealing the cpu or memory, is there a system monitor which keeps a log or some way i can see what was freezing my pc 15 seconds ago? [22:14] dr_willis: maybe i need to reboot on a expert mode and specify the disk. ? [22:14] james - you could try typing 'top' in a console to show running processes [22:16] aljanv: i always use the custome/somthing else/whatever its called these days installer option to select exactly what partions to use. [22:16] meberhart: yes thanks i know of top but does it keep history? [22:17] ahh... no, it doesn't [22:17] in windows there is a Process Monitor utility that you can hover over the cpu graph and it tells you the name of the process in the history of the graph [22:17] aljanv: they seem to rename it with every new release. When installing to Just a 2nd hd. i think i even have to tell it to 'use the whole disk' and it acts like its going to remove windows from disk 1 but it dosent. :) so yes. the installer could stand to be worked on, its tried to dumb things down so much its harder to use. [22:18] my ubuntu is failing hard [22:18] how do i get to the boot menu when starting the system? [22:18] i keep getting msgs that say application failed [22:18] unity python and compiz just failed [22:18] cowslammer: hold down shift [22:18] oh [22:19] cowslammer its depending on your pc,most common is f12 [22:20] meber I looked in dconf but I can't find anything related the the mouse [22:20] Anyone ever had an issue where when compiz is running, the desktop is broken up, and part of it is just a framebuffer error that shows whatever is moved overtop of it as an after image? [22:20] I think Compiz thinks I'm running a different resolution or something... [22:21] dr_willis: thanks it seems that there's a problem :( [22:21] is there a way to specify the install disk (/dev/sda) on 10.04 ? installer only see /dev/sdb .... [22:21] please [22:21] oh [22:21] how please? [22:21] omg how restart unity [22:21] aljanv what's the output of sudo fdisk -l ? use pastebinit [22:22] im on gnome 3 [22:22] it crashed [22:22] aljanv: if theres no unallocated space it may be ignoreing sda, or if theres allready 4 primary partitions. [22:22] I tend to use gparted to partion the disks how i want befor i even start the installer. [22:22] Is it possible to make a dump of the entire debian apache config? [22:23] i cant start it because i cant start compiz because of display error or something [22:24] In unity, when a window pops (say a chat window) I get "shaking" in the Dash but the window doesn't popup. Can I change that behavior somehow? Can't figure out how. [22:25] Hello guys. [22:25] I got recently an ubuntu 64bits vps [22:25] I'm trying to run some app (that works fine in 32) [22:25] And I'm getting this [22:25] hello chek your settings for unity [22:25] Hi.

I've placed the log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/803492/. Where do I take it from here, I have no exprience with Xorg problems [22:25] I know there is a package to fix this but I don't know which :( [22:25] MonkeyDust: dr_willis i wan to install 10.04 on an old 8.04 staying on /dev/sda2 and 3 see output: http://pastebin.com/HinWUeu4 [22:26] And I'm 100% sure the file is there (appname) [22:26] sorry for disturbing, but i need to install ubuntu on gigabyte p35-ds3 - raid 0, no hdd deceted durring install [22:26] p35 what is that [22:26] NorthSys: Shot in the dark, but do you have the proper permissions? What if you run the app as root?

I am getting large amounts of image tearing, which suggests that I need to enable VSync. On my OSX version, I do this with aglSetInteger(aglContext, AGL_SWAP_INTERVAL, &swapInt); On the Windows version, I am supposed to be able to do this with wglSwapIntervalEXT, when I test for the existence of the extension on Win7 x64 it's not there... Can som [22:27] help me figure out vsync on win7? [22:27] only 19 seconds [22:28] msponge, windows? how does this relate to ubuntu support [22:28] bazhang: Oooh , ouch, sorry thought I was in the OpenGL channel.. [22:32] Unity Launcher shakes instead of windows popping to the top. Can I change that? [22:32] Does anyone know a command I can run to restart the gnome panel in oneiric if it crashes? [22:32] codazoda find CCSM in the software center, install it, choose unity desktop plugin [22:33] scuey try killall gnome-panel [22:33] What does Ubuntu use for the calendar? [22:34] MonkeyDust: right, I came across that when I did a search, but it appears it's no longer called gnome-panel because the terminal tells me it's not installed when I try it. Is it something different in the new gnome? [22:34] in 11.10, Thunderbird. in versions prior, it was Evolution [22:34] qmanjr5 it says here 'evolution', but i don't have that, so cannot use it :p [22:34] MonkeyDust: Installing. Thank you. [22:34] sorry for disturbing, but i still need to install ubuntu on gigabyte p35-ds3 destop motherboard - raid 0, two hdd configuration, no hdd deceted durring install [22:34] hi guys [22:35] Anyone alive who feels to help me? [22:35] Larre very well, but only because it's you [22:35] Haha [22:36] I am running newest ubuntu and after hours and hours I have still failed to start a working file server [22:37] hi [22:37] HI === carlos is now known as Guest83094 [22:37] hi [22:37] What I want is to share media to XBMC on my other machine (running win7). I have tried both NFS and Samba as XBMC supports both. So before trying to get on of those to work, which one should I go with? [22:38] can somebody help me to configure my tv card? [22:38] What is the best irc client for ubuntu.? I'm presently trying XChat-GNOME 0.26.1 [22:38] !best| Tostada [22:38] Tostada: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:39] Larre: since the other machine is running win7 it would probably be easiest to go with Samba [22:39] Guest83094, is it usb or pci ? [22:39] okay rogst [22:39] it is pci [22:39] Thanks ubottu. [22:39] MonkeyDust: Any idea on what the new gnome-panel would be called? [22:40] I don't really know what the problem with samba is, but my Win7 PC doesnt find it however [22:40] If you type /whois wingless2434, do you see a line like [wingless2434] (~name@c-174-61-224-227.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) : Wing Less ? I'm trying to figure out how to make my IRC chatting a little more anonymous. [22:40] Jonathan r , are you here? [22:40] y tv card Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder [22:40] Guest83094, have you tried a tv app yet? like me-tv, to test it [22:40] help [22:40] help [22:40] help [22:40] scuey beats me, just unity, i guess, or dash maybe [22:40] Guest83094: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:40] Larre: windows7 firewall stuff can often cause issues. also try accessing the samba server via its ip# not the machinename [22:41] Yes I've tried via IP [22:41] it works perfectly w7 === go8765 is now known as go8765|off [22:41] So, what is the easiest way to find out if samba is running at all? [22:41] Guest83094, not what I asked. Have you tried a simple app like me-tv ? [22:41] no [22:42] can someone help me configure Grub that i am installing on a seperate device [22:42] Guest83094, install it and try it out. [22:42] ok [22:42] wov, many people asking for help, this cannot be easy for you :P [22:44] So, I want to know if Samba is running at all, not sure about that [22:44] MonkeyDust: ok, would I just want to "killall unity" and then "unity"? Is that safe? Also, there's the unity-2d-panel, but I'm running the regular unity. [22:44] scuey can't say, tbh, i don't like/use unity [22:44] <_cb> what is the cli to find out a computer name? [22:45] Larre try ps -e [22:45] I shall also say that I am not using a router, just a switch so both computers has a unique external IP. However when I was running Win7 on server too computers still founf each other [22:46] no samba but a lot of nfsd, hmm [22:46] MonkeyDust: Ah, found it anyway. It seems "killall unity-2d-panel" does the trick. So it appears unity-2d-panel is shared by both unity and unity-2d. FYI. [22:46] and the command to start samba is? [22:47] _cb: man hostname [22:47] INFO [22:48] Larre: one of those win machines was a wins server? [22:48] MerlynKorr, ubuntu support issue? [22:49] what the.....folder samba doesnt even exist in /etc === BeneathKarma is now known as register [22:49] Hey all, I've got a problem - I was just trying gnome-shell, and it's really messed up my machine. However, I can't use metacity --replace because I can't even access terminal. Atm I'm logged in to irssi from the ctrl + alt + f2 prompt. If I try to use this to change metacity --replace, it says "can't start X" Please help! I don't wanna force shutdown :/ === register is now known as Guest61057 === Guest61057 is now known as BeneathKarma [22:50] yes im having issues with registering my nick... . [22:50] mang0_: try running DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace [22:50] MerlynKorr, #freenode for that [22:51] gotch ty. [22:51] Slart: Will do, thanks. However, is there a way I can get back to $ without quitting irssi? [22:51] Larre: care to share exactly what you are wanting to achieve? [22:51] Hmm. Deleting sama folder ro make a fresh install wasn't a good idea it seems, as a reinstall didn't re-create this [22:51] *samba [22:51] Damn what shall I do know [22:52] mang0_: try ALT+F1 .. ALT+F2 to get back.. there should be shells at ALT+F3, F4 and so on.. ALT+F7 should be the running X session [22:52] Slart: Great! Thanks :) [22:52] A part of me wants to reinstall the whole damn machine [22:52] Larre: you can start by stopping the blow by blow of your experiment [22:52] mang0_: good luck =) [22:52] almoxarife: what do you mean with that? [22:52] Slart: Thanks! I'm not very experienced with the shell command prompt ;) I've only used terminal really.... [22:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html <--- i am following this tutorial but i have no /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf. am i suppose to create one?

[22:53] MerlynKorr, yep [22:54] mang0_: no worries.. it's almost the same thing.. just the few small differences.. of course.. those few difference can really bite you when you least expect it =) [22:54] does anyone know what middle ware packages are and what's involved, maybe give me an example or two? [22:54] chaospsychex did you consult this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer === Knorre_ is now known as Knorre [22:55] Larre: i meant that you were not asking a question nor answering one, hence the comment 'blow by blow', which is distracting since it is not pointed at no one in particular, i hope i made sense this time [22:55] Hmm not getting any wiser. However I am used to the fact that things that works for others doesn't work for me :P [22:55] MonkeyDust, no let me do that [22:55] Oh... [22:55] ok, then why does it give the err message no chanel joined at the freenode channel? [22:55] Okay then. Seems like no etc/samba folder even exists. What shall I do? [22:56] There, a question :P === Mud is now known as Guest19424 [22:56] Larre: care to share exactly what you are wanting to achieve? [22:56] Larre: and who you are talking to is also important to add to the line [22:56] I explained it. I am trying to get a working samba server in ubuntu 11.10 so my win 7 machine can find all media I have on server [22:57] I am not talking to anyone particular yet, waiting for someone to hook up with my problem [22:57] help in spanish?

[22:59] MonkeyDust, f your pxe server is also your dhcp server, you'll need something like this in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf <--- this file is not present on my system [22:59] Okay okay, I know. I installed 11.04 once and then upgraded it [22:59] MonkeyDust, that is from the link you gave me [22:59] Larre: i assume you are familiar with 'nautilus'? [22:59] chaospsychex ok, you need to install dhcp server, then [22:59] !who | Larre [22:59] Larre: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[23:01] chaospsychex i guess you have to configure it first; how skilled are you? [23:01] MerlynKorr, you might try #freenodenotr sure of what your seeing myself [23:01] #freenode [23:01] almoxarife, you mean nautilus is required? [23:01] I'm using about a GB of RAM I can't seem to be able to account for, even if taking buffers into consideration. Any idea why that is? [23:01] MonkeyDust, i'm ok but i'm confused at where the program is and where the .conf is [23:02] the dhcpd program [23:02] What is httpd renamed on Ubuntu? [23:02] chaospsychex http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man5/dhcpd.conf.5.html [23:02] ' [23:02] right. PEace ppl. [23:02] Larre: i see, well, nautilus had this fantastic capability, you right click on a folder you want to 'share'( that would be like samba) allowing access via the options available, and you have a sharing machine, just like that [23:02] I can't use my tv card, chip SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 hel p please [23:02] Larre: but you are welcome to cli (crawl) thru it though [23:02] hey [23:02] what happened dudes [23:03] almoxarife, okay shall I install nautilus? [23:03] my ubuntu 11.10 is only 0.06 more than my 11.04 [23:03] but its totally different [23:03] 0.06 more whatN [23:03] ? [23:03] almoxarife, forget that is is installed haha [23:03] i'm considering offering to install linux on busted computers to my local community via craigslist. anyone here tried to do that sort of thing? [23:03] sorry, [23:04] Larre: see, being that you got 'desktop' nautilus is sort of built in, perhaps someone else can assist [23:04] MonkeyDust, it's udhcpd and i found the .conf file [23:04] I mean, I did an upgrade, but now I have some other desktop and its like a iphone [23:04] by busted i mean full of viruses and spywares [23:04] "an iphone" [23:04] chaospsychex great [23:04] Boreeas: have you tried "top" in a terminal to see what is hogging your memory - http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=762 [23:04] hroi i think you're looking at Unity [23:05] MonkeyDust, the only services i need running for pxe server are DHCP and TFTP correct? === stepnjump is now known as ve2hs [23:05] chaospsychex guess so, but rather read the page i showed you, it's more reliable [23:05] almoxarife, Well as I stated earlier etc/samba folder doesnt exist and re-install of samba doesn't solve it. What shall I do? [23:05] MonkeyDust, ok will do [23:05] lake: your ubuntu is perhaps spywared, thats a webbrowser thing, but virus? [23:06] MonkeyDust: Im kinda traditional, how do I get back my old gnome desktop? the logins screen dont have that desktop option any more. [23:06] Larre: i see, well, nautilus had this fantastic capability, you right click on a folder you want to 'share'( that would be like samba) allowing access via the options available, and you have a sharing machine, just like that [23:06] !notunity| hroi [23:06] hroi: 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 [23:06] MonkeyDust, does that info apply to udhcpd.conf? i don't have dhcpd.conf on my system and I did 'sudo apt-get install dhcpd'. has it been changed ? [23:07] almoxarife: my aim is to transition older computers with windows to a more secure system like linux. [23:07] chaospsychex maybe you have to create the .conf file manually, i'm not very familiar with it [23:07] almoxarife, I have messed up so much, trying to get thing to work without really now what I am doing. Perhaps I should re-install the whole machine so it's clean and then try to share via nautilus [23:07] MonkeyDust: man that sounded laborious [23:08] i installed grub on a drive. when booting it shows grub rescue [23:08] can i edit the grub conf there? [23:08] MonkeyDust: I used to love gnome because it was simple and fast, is unity simple and fast? [23:08] hroi ubottu sometimes suffers the windows disease: extended and complete, but unreadable information [23:08] MonkeyDust: ok, I take it unity is some thing running ontop of gnome right? [23:09] owenll: Yeah, I did [23:09] hello [23:09] can someone help me? [23:09] Should computer be restarted after changing hosts file? [23:09] owenll: Doesn't explaing the missing 1 GB [23:09] whats the name of the systme monitor that showes the temp of the cpu's? [23:09] Well, actually, ir appears as xorg is taking up another 500 MB, but that's about all I can see [23:09] CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? [23:09] how do i change the port for desktop sharing? [23:09] downbeam, with what [23:09] downbeam: Patience [23:09] SORRY [23:09] can I connect direct to an MS SQL server using wine? [23:10] downbeam caps pls [23:10] i need to apt get amarok? [23:10] lake: i would insure there is an avail app in ubuntu or wine to still do what ever it is that the win machines do/did, i like to do my taxes off the internet, i cant find a app to do it in linux, just an example [23:10] and i dont know how to do it [23:10] downbeam, from ubuntu? yes [23:10] yes [23:10] downbeam to install, it's apt-get install amarok [23:10] downbeam, check the software center [23:10] where is the software center? [23:11] lol [23:11] hi all. trying to stream from a stereo line in to a remote server using darkice. natty on x86. having trouble configuring pulseaudio (i'm used to ALSA). anyone know what the default device is called? i tried hw:0,0 and that fails. [23:11] downbeam: do you really want to add amarok to a gnome desktop? [23:12] clementine or rhythm box is just as good [23:12] According to ubuntu downloadpage 32-bit is recommended. But since my computer is AMD64 shouldn't 64-bit version be best for me? [23:12] I have 64bit installed Larre, and it supports 32bit now [23:12] ksensors? does that still work? [23:12] works a treat [23:12] tyre Psensors [23:13] try psenors [23:13] does it need lm sensors to work? [23:13] Larre: 64 bit has some minor advantages.. but being able to access more than 4 GB of memory is a big one [23:13] what's the command to see running services? say i wanted to find and see if UDHCPD is running ? [23:13] chaospsychex ps -e [23:13] Larre: I wouldn't mind that "32 bit is recommended" thing.. many users have been using 64 bit for quite some time without any problems [23:13] i gess ya [23:13] I'm using about half a GB of RAM I can't seem to be able to account for, even if taking buffers into consideration. Any idea why that is? [23:14] chaospsychex: gnome-system-monitor works swell too [23:14] Slart: Okay. Then I will go with 64-bit once again. And you can be sure I will switch to gnome classic dekstop imediately. I hate the new ubuntu desktop, haha [23:14] Slart: Good lord. I'm now in terminal with gnome-shell, I can't use metacity --replace, it gives me an error. And now my background says "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. Please log out and try again." with one button that says log out. Stuck :( [23:15] Boreeas: gnome-system-monitor , look at where the hogging is taking place to start with [23:15] is there a faster way to download torrents? [23:15] mang0, gnome 3 is mutter [23:15] mang0: ouch.. never had that happen to me.. seems you're looking at a reboot after all [23:15] downbeam: from a huge swarm? [23:15] almoxarife: Well, that's the problem [23:15] downbeam: torrent speed should depend on those who seeds it for you [23:15] downbeam there's deluge and transmission, but define 'faster' [23:15] almoxarife: It doesn'T add up [23:16] Larre: I hear you.. I felt the same until I reinstalled ubuntu a couple of days ago.. now I'm trying to live with unity [23:16] downbeam: some people use what are called 'seed boxes', which use business class hardware and bandwidth [23:16] unity is weird [23:16] unity is crapp [23:16] unity is just the beginning [23:16] then swith to gnome 3 or 2 [23:16] i think i might replace it with xfce [23:16] unity should be just an option for tables, not mandatory [23:16] or swith to xfce [23:16] is there a good site to download from? [23:16] i used xubuntu [23:17] But I mean switching to gnome classic doesn affect anything other thatn the gui, does it? [23:17] downbeam: download what from? [23:17] i use fedora with gnome 3 love it [23:17] i did until this install [23:17] anyone in here every setup a pxe boot server before? [23:17] swith at log in to gnome [23:17] i put the files in /var/lib/tftpboot ? [23:17] can someone please help me through all this apache crap?

[23:21] what did ubuntu rename the httpd binary to? [23:21] RokcStar, who yah talking to... include the nic so we all get the scuttlebut. [23:21] MonkeyDust: merci [23:21] hi guys, i per accident renamed a folder. Can someone lookup the name for me? The folder inside it is buildd and the folder i'm looking for is in / [23:21] sorry [23:22] siyogi pas de quoi :p [23:22] krambiorix: press the up arrow [23:22] adi11: ati radeon? [23:22] i am dual booting with win7. my brother needs msoffice. and win7 loads ok and everything works perfect. so i guess its not a hardware issue. [23:22] almoxarife: nvidia [23:23] Hi. Question about encrypting a volume. Using cryp [23:23] noahnoah_: ...where? [23:23] crypt setup from command line. File encrypts nicely mounts, unmounts, etc. [23:23] hi [23:23] alkafoo, no it was in the gnome folder tree [23:23] krambiorix: ah, unfortunate [23:23] almoxarife: but didnt install any propietary driver on it yet. [23:23] adi11: can you access a terminal in your user name? [23:23] Then there is the issue that the install-iso is a cd image. Somehow the CD-laser is broken and I can only burn DVDs. Should be possible to burn it into a DVD-disc somehow [23:23] alkafoo, indeed [23:23] But, no reboot doesn't mount. I see that it is no longer listed in /dev/mapper. (It was before reboot) I assume that some process need to be called upon init, but don't know which [23:23] i think its running on Nouveau [23:23] krambiorix: find / -type d -iname '*buildd*' [23:24] adi11: you need to install 'nvidia-current' [23:24] FuZi0N: hi [23:24] oh maybe somebody also knows how to print the calendar for the next month in terminal? I can only print by calling the exact month or can show 3 months at a time(previous7current/next) [23:24] alkafoo, well yeah can you tell me the result? :-) [23:24] Can X number of subdomains be created if i own a single domain? [23:24] almoxarife: i have tried it but no success. [23:25] siyogi: man cal should know [23:25] adi11: tried how? [23:25] hi [23:25] almoxarife: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31575034/Other/Selection_008.png and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31575034/Other/Selection_009.png [23:25] almoxarife it still hang on loading the os. [23:25] diverdude: depends on what you paid for === flack is now known as flack-Z [23:26] alkafoo, but if i set up a DNS myself? [23:26] diverdude: yes,as long as you can add them to some DNS server [23:26] i could not find the answer in man cal and would not ask without checking [23:26] alkafoo, can you check on your / what the name would be? [23:26] krambiorix: the name of what? [23:26] Boreeas: jesus, what is 'firefox-trunk' a part of firefox? [23:26] almoxarife: ? [23:27] almoxarife: hadware drivers app offers to install that. i did and no results. no i did a fresh install of 10.04.3 [23:27] alkafoo: ? [23:27] alkafoo, the folder in / where folder buildd is in [23:27] almoxarife: ah [23:27] trunk is the development state [23:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunk_%28software%29 [23:27] Hi. Question about encrypting a volume. Using cryptsetup to create an encrypted partition. Works well, volume mounts, unmounts, etc. But, on reboot, it fails to mount. I see that it is no longer listed in /dev/mapper. My guess is that some process needs to run at startup, but don't know which. (I have configured crypttab and fstab.) Suggestions? [23:27] krambiorix: the command I gave you will find it [23:28] alkafoo: i am not sure we talking same thing [23:28] noahnoah_: Yeah crypttab mounts it at boot up [23:28] adi11: did you install 'nvidia-current' [23:28] almoxarife: firefox-trunk is the trunk version of firefox [23:28] hi all, I have a problem, whenever I reboot ubuntu, it stalls in the manufacturer logo right after reboot. I have to switch the laptop off and back on [23:28] any ideas? [23:29] phix. crypttab didn't execute [23:29] alkafoo, you don't understand i changed the foldername [23:29] alkafoo: doe it usually run on 1/2 gig of ram? === g_ is now known as Guest20276 [23:29] alkafoo, can you do find / -name "buildd" for me and tell me the parent folder name [23:30] Is it possible to find out the hostnames of all of the computers on my local network? [23:30] almoxarife: browsers have a habit of eating lots of ram, yeah [23:30] almoxarife: yes. [23:30] almoxarife: but no results. [23:30] especially if you leave them open forever [23:30] krambiorix: ah, no but someone else here can [23:30] Alkafoo, would Firefox consume even more than some other alternatives? [23:30] adi11: since installing did you reboot? and run the config app? [23:31] Guest20276: some others, naturally [23:31] almoxarife: firefox-trunk is ff nightly [23:31] Ah [23:31] I'm getting a bios error, operating system not found, after a fresh normal instll of 11.10 Server (64bit). I've tried installing it twice from scratch, and just tried the option to re-install grub from the rescue mode. Nothing seems to work. [23:31] does anyone have ubuntu up and running? [23:31] almoxarife: or is it that is still loading nouveau? [23:31] adi11: since installing did you reboot? and run the config app? [23:32] siyogi: Display the previous, current and next month: cal -3 [23:32] does anyone have ubuntu up and running? [23:32] lol [23:32] krambiorix: I guess most people in here do ;) [23:32] krambiorix, yes of course [23:32] i do [23:32] Boreeas: your ram is going hasta luego via firefox, doing something special in it? [23:33] krambiorix, do you have a real question? [23:33] grubing is so hard [23:33] almoxarife: Not really === ubuntu_ is now known as krabador [23:33] siyogi cal -A1 [23:33] does anyone here have experience installing grub on a flash drive -- from scratch [23:33] But what is actually worrying me is that there is this large discrepance between the listing (500 MB + small stuff) and the graph (1.8 GB) [23:33] Slart: Still completely stuck. Metacity isn't working, the command you said to do isn't working from TTY, and I can't use gnome-shell it's wayyyy to slow, really weird. [23:33] diesch: I know this and I need only one next month. Thanks [23:33] RokcStar: same as installing it on any other drive [23:33] Even when factoring in xorg, which is using another 0.5 GB, it's still 800 MB off [23:34] Boreeas: time to decide, nightlies worth it or time to get a nice sane browser like 'chromium'? bleeding edge stuff [23:34] mang0: do you get some kind of error message when you try the metacity command? [23:34] mang0: remember what it was? [23:34] bazhang, nevermind [23:34] MonkeyDust: doesn't work [23:34] Boreeas: or the more boring flavor 'chrome-browser' [23:35] siyogi next month's calendar? it does here [23:35] uh [23:35] Slart: 1s [23:35] !info chrome-browser [23:35] Package chrome-browser does not exist in oneiric [23:35] is there a gui grub installer? [23:35] !info chromium-browser [23:35] chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser. In component universe, is optional.

[23:35] Slart: DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace [23:35] iirc [23:35] almoxarife: I'd actually prefer to stay with FF. 500 MB aren't that bad, I guess, and nightly has a tendency to use more than the default anyways [23:35] siyogi: cal $(date +'%m %Y' -d'next month') [23:36] siyogi from the man page: -A number Display the number of months after the current month. [23:36] Boreeas: there you go then, now you know where all that memory is going\ [23:36] almoxarife: No, I don't [23:36] mang0: yes.. that was the command.. but what was the output? not the entire thing.. just check if there is a line with ERROR, FATAL or something like that.. anything that sounds omnius =) [23:36] diesch: Merci! Too difficult for me but works fine. [23:36] Boreeas: its going to firefox-trunk [23:36] almoxarife: FF is using 500 MB, Xorg is using 500 MB = 1 GB. The graph shows 1.8 GB [23:37] Hi. Question about encrypting a volume. Using cryptsetup to create an encrypted partition. Works well, volume mounts, unmounts, etc. But, on reboot, it fails to mount. I see that it is no longer listed in /dev/mapper. My guess is that some process needs to run at startup, but don't know which. (I have configured crypttab and fstab.) Suggestions? [23:37] ok i am back. still had to do 3 times "exit command on tty to get the os loaded. [23:37] My CD rom doesn't mount automatically it seems anymore. I have a CD in it.. nothing in nautilus. Doesn't seem to be showing under fdisk -l.... What should I do please? [23:37] MonkeyDust: I know about man. But honestly I tried severl option and tried to improvise - nothing worked except diesch's version [23:37] Boreeas: xorg is not shown on what you shared [23:37] almoxarife: Because it's run as root [23:38] !universe | downbeam [23:38] downbeam: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

It goes blank, and when I switch back to x with alt + f7, all I see is a screen telling me that apache2 is started, bluetooth is started, etc. Just the defult loading screen, nothing more. [23:38] Boreeas: can you share Xorg.0.log from /var/log? [23:38] MonkeyDust: cal -A1 displays the current +and* the next month, but siyogi only wants the next month === WanderingEnder| is now known as WanderingEnder [23:38] mang0: hmm.. but the machine is still to slow to use? === ve2hs is now known as stepnjump [23:39] almoxarife: http://pastebin.com/zpJqP1ZX [23:40] Slart: At the moment I can't get IN to the machine. But, I tried restarted a minute ago, and it was uber slow, and didn't work properly. I then booted in to terminal, and un-installed gnome-shell, but then I couldn't get in to anything at all, so i had to go back to recovery console and install it again. [23:40] Boreeas: can you share Xorg.0.log from /var/log? dmesg and kern.log wouldnt hurt either :) [23:41] diesch: in my case it says -A is an invalid option === themill_ is now known as themill [23:41] mang0: hmm.. odd.. perhaps it's not gnome-shell that is the culprit.. perhaps something else is wrong? do you get the normal ubuntu login screen? === aidrocsid1 is now known as aidrocsid [23:42] almoxarife: xorg is http://pastebin.com/zpJqP1ZX, but kern.log is too large to paste apparently [23:42] Slart: When I boot up, the normal login screen comes up as in choose user name and insert pass, but it looks different to how it did before. It looks like the gnome-shell gui. [23:42] Boreeas: you have nvidia and nouveau drivers, why? why not the nvidia? [23:42] oh [23:42] yes [23:42] Boreeas: nevermind the other [23:43] 'ello everyone [23:43] almoxarife: I have no idea - nvidia probably came installed, but idk what nouveau even is [23:43] hello here gnome 3 === m00se is now known as _123456789012345 [23:43] mang0: oh.. and there's no way to select another session from there? from the regular gnome login screen you can choose between unity/gnome amongst others [23:43] What can one do when the CD rom doesn't mount and doesn't show in /dev/? [23:43] Boreeas: how do you install stuff? === _123456789012345 is now known as m00se [23:43] software center [23:43] almoxarife: Usuallyusing apt-get install, why? [23:43] selina2: and a good choice [23:43] siyogi: maybe it's an older version, I don't knwo when GNU cal added -A [23:44] Slart: That's the weird thing. It's defult is set to "gnome" session, if I try to put it to "Ubuntu" and log in, it says that ubuntu session couldn't be loaded :( [23:44] Boreeas: ok, use apt-get and install 'nvidia-current' [23:45] if unity interface giving so much problems try other window managers === gentoofa1 is now known as help [23:45] diesch: anyway your command worked very well [23:45] almoxarife: "nvidia-current is already the newest version." === help is now known as Guest5675 [23:46] anybody here good at debugging wifi? others have the same card and it works, if that's a good starting point [23:46] Boreeas: ok, so you need to un-install 'nouveau' [23:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/803582/ [23:46] Slart: Once I've finally got in to TTY from gnome-shell, everything messes up. I can't get back to X === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [23:47] almoxarife: remove it or purge it? [23:47] Boreeas: both [23:47] Anyone? Why isn't /dev/mapper showing encrypted partition after reboot? [23:47] mang0: I haven't really experienced this problem so I'm not sure what to try.. I'm not even sure if uninstalling gnome-shell will fix anything.. it might be worth a try though [23:48] mang0: you did install gnome-shell using one of the repositories, right? [23:48] siyogi: it just uses date to get the next month and then uses the output of date as aprameter for cal. [23:48] Slart: Already tried it. When I uninstall, I end up not being able to do anything other than recovery console :/ === surfsue is now known as surfdue [23:48] !netsplit [23:48] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [23:48] * tMH is gone. nsf [23:48] Slart: Yeah, from the official site, I copied and pasted the cmd lines [23:48] added ppa, updated, installed [23:48] does 'apt-get purge' remove and purge? or just purge confs? [23:49] almoxarife: is there anyway to see if it loading nvidia drivers now instead of nouveau? [23:49] almoxarife: How, both? Wouldn't purge also imply remove? [23:49] Boreeas, purge removes config files too. [23:50] adi111: you rebooted? do, if not, and share Xorg.0.log after the reboot [23:50] mang0: do you remember if you uninstalled something else? something gnome-related? [23:50] Slart: It's really weird that I can't switch to metacity. I could try compiz though... [23:50] Slart: Didn't uninstall anything else [23:50] Boreeas: no idea, i am no apt-get expert, i live on synaptic [23:50] mang0: sure, anything is worth a try.. but metacity is usually the stable "always-works" solution [23:50] OerHeks: Yeah, that's what I mean. Would using remove after purge not be redundant? [23:50] almoxarife: i rebooted after 3 times "exit" command on initramfs... :) [23:51] Slart: Yeah, that's what I thought :( [23:51] This is ridiculous XD [23:51] Boreeas, purge is an option for remove [23:52] does 'purge' remove and purge? that is the question [23:52] almoxarife, shoud [23:52] almoxarife: where do i find Xorg.0.log? [23:52] How do I restart network through the command line? [23:52] urlin2u: should? :) be brave, yes! ? [23:52] Nah, you can do apt-get purge foo [23:52] almoxarife: on etc? [23:53] KurtKraut, sudo service network restart [23:53] adi111: etc?

[23:56] anyone mind helping me get ubuntu working? [23:56] !ask | Masters [23:56] Masters: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [23:57] Masters: I don't mind [23:57] :) [23:57] mang0_: hmm... that does look weird indeed.. [23:57] I just download the latest version [23:57] set up the partitions and such but it won't boot [23:57] the screen went all weird, like the video drivers were having problems and just froze [23:57] jutnux: Yeah, look what happened to me though O.o http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/x3242f9r/Workspace1_001.png really really weird. Slart is helping me trouble shoot it.
