[00:34] does any1 here know what to do to repair a vanilla install [00:36] padmick1: It may be completely unrelated to your booting problem, but since it's the last message shown, and it's a failure, you should try removing anon-proxy and see if you are able to boot completely then. [00:36] what about android apps in software-center usage similiar wine? [00:36] What's the correct way to launch a program (pytyle2) at startup? Should I put something in /etc/rc.local? [00:36] padmick1: When you boot into recovery mode there should be an option to drop to a shell, where you can run "apt-get remove anon-proxy". [00:37] what is anon-proxy [00:37] And if so, do I put "exec pytyle2"? or "exec pytyle2 &"? [00:37] ctcsadmin: did that work? [00:39] Using of andrioid-apps in oneiric could be interest.

I have tried most of the obvious steps from tutorials and howto's found all over the web, but still no luck. Any help? [00:39] or should I be using update-rc.d? [00:40] padmick1: You're welcome. If removing anon-proxy fixes the booting process then we'll know that that's where to focus and can hopefully get anon-proxy fixed so that you can both use it and be able to boot :) [00:40] ctcsadmin: did that work?

[01:26] thanks for your help :) [01:26] dttys: oh im an idiot, when u compile, u install the devel libraries [01:26] dttys: np, its what i camp this irc for hours for [01:26] how do I get around this? does it just mean my kernel is not supported? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/534881/ [01:26] I am running 10.10 (32-bit) [01:26] lol [01:27] kn100-vga: post the output of "xrandr" first at paste.ubuntu.com and link here [01:27] _Dom: I might be completely wrong, but I wouldn't think it would have anything to do with a soundcard, more likely with the virtualization (I think you said you were doing it that way earlier). What makes you think it would need a sound card? [01:28] _Dom What is Pinguy OS? [01:29] fman23: http://pastebin.com/pWDhnGzq [01:29] minix2004: pinguy os is a heavily modified ubuntu os, that is surprisingly quick [01:29] if I'd like to script something but I'm using vim to edit a file...how do I do that? [01:29] minix2004: only use it if u are a lazy modifications freak [01:30] <_Dom> fman23 I beg to disagree in virtual machines ubuntu is faster plus vmware tools isn't such a pain to configure in terminal and seemingless feature is only possible with ubuntu [01:30] _Dom: never said it was faster than ubuntu [01:30] hi [01:31] I GOTS UBUNTO 10.04 LTS AND IT IS NOT FINDING ANY WIRELESS NETWORKS [01:31] WHY? [01:31] fman23: regarding the resolution issue of kn100-vga , I've had success with similar problems by renaming the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old and rebooting, the newly generated one tends to work better if there were hardware changes or drivers installed etc.. though I couldn't say why. [01:31] anybody? [01:31] _Dom: nor said it was fast at all [01:31] only faster than i expected, it is a huge file with a bunch running in the background [01:31] kn100-vga: xrandr --output default --mode 1280x1024_60_new [01:31] kunji: I only did this installa around five minutes ago, the driver was installed [01:32] fman23: xrandr: cannot find mode 1280x1024_60_new [01:32] what??? [01:32] one second [01:32] Is there a nice way to browse fonts and then get the XFLD? [01:32] kn100-vga right exactly, you just installed a new driver, but haven't created a new xorg.conf, right? === go87651 is now known as go8765__ [01:33] kunji: nope, would expect it to handle that itself xD [01:33] kunji: I'll give it a try [01:33] kn100-vga: Well, I would also like such a thing to handle itself, maybe it does now, I'm just saying what's worked for me in the past ^_^ [01:33] kn100-vga: xrandr --addmode default 1280x1024_60_new [01:33] kn100-vga: then do the above command again [01:33] see in windows these vga adaptor things had another effect..Instead of locking it at the wrong resolution, every resolution ever was available ;D [01:34] fman23: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [01:34] hmm, interesting [01:35] kn100-vga: well, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [01:35] kn100-vga: then reboot and see if that fixes anything [01:35] HELLO? [01:35] Hello? [01:35] hi [01:35] fman23: done, no terminal output, ran the second xrandr command, same error [01:35] hi [01:36] where to get a usb wifi driver for 10.04 it gotta be a .deb [01:36] kn100-vga: u need to reboot after that command [01:36] Wow, I haven't used ubuntu in about a year now, used to use it as my main OS. The software center has REALLY improved in terms of speed..or that could be to do with the fact I now have a quad core computer...I wonder [01:36] antipragmatist: make / model? [01:36] fman23: Okay, be right back [01:36] I remember a tool like score-reading trainer: It worked under KDE 3.5 under Debian SIDUX 32 bit. It depends on kdelibs4c2a or so. What about new app for Oneiric 64 bit? [01:37] no idea [01:37] i got it from some place on line [01:37] it is usb [01:37] hey everyone, i need some basic help with partition problems installing Ubuntu alongside of Win7. please PM me if you can help. [01:37] antipragmatist: is this usb ? [01:37] fman23: is that reconfigure what is done when you remove the xorg.conf and reboot? I think it is but I don't remember. [01:37] yes it is usb [01:38] Why doesn't emerge work? [01:38] antipragmatist: from terminal "lsusb" [01:38] I even tried apt-get portage [01:38] sorry, apt-get install portage [01:38] and it worked fine under 11.04 but I needed tro downgrad to 10.04 lts [01:38] ok [01:38] wait, who is installing portage? [01:38] lol, do ppl still use that [01:38] any reasonable person wants portage [01:38] yes, yes they do [01:39] Nasdaq runs on gentoo [01:39] I couldn't live without use flags [01:39] well personally, i like the idea behind it, but y not try gentoo for that [01:39] it is linksys [01:39] how do i free up space on a Win7 partition? [01:39] darkx: delete files [01:39] acerimmer : it is a linksys usb [01:39] darkx: you must have a second partition for installing. Or use Ubuntu as Live-CD [01:39] delete Windows and System32 [01:40] no dont listen to RokcStar_ [01:40] RokcStar_: be nice [01:40] although its sad that windows will actually let u do that [01:40] true that [01:40] wont even throw an error [01:40] Why delete windows when you have enough space? [01:40] so why can't eix search for packages [01:40] antipragmatist: if you have dual boot, your windows driver can be injected but this is not the .deb method you requested [01:40] it does give an error [01:40] <_Dom> fman23 PM [01:40] kunji: fman23, exactly the same issue [01:40] RokcStar_: thats not funny, some dont know that will cripple their systems, if you cant help dont add bs to the messs [01:40] RokcStar_: yeah, after u reboot [01:40] I have dual boot [01:41] but no, I want .deb [01:41] ill test it [01:41] antipragmatist, lsusb will show a device ID number like this: ID 0ace:1215. What is that on your linksys? [01:42] I have a working printer, I can copy to /dev/usb/lp0 - all works - most of the time lp fileName queues and prints the file. periodically lp starts reporting Alerts: printer-stopped - if I re-boot then the jobs come out with no other changes - what is happening [01:42] i don't know how to free up space on the win7 partition without messing it up [01:42] RokcStar_: lol, i guess u wont get much error if u do sudo rm -rf * but u would have to enter ur password for that to happen [01:42] so how do I change my use flags? [01:42] tjiggi_fo : it is 1d6b:0002 [01:42] antipragmatist, ok, 1 sec [01:42] k [01:42] thannies [01:42] schmitt953: if you really want portage, i would recommend gentoo or derivatives [01:43] darkx: Please look for gparted. Can help [01:43] fman23: ill let u know what happens [01:43] i'm installing with a LiveCD and i'm at the drive manager. i have no idea what to do now. [01:43] RokcStar_: lol, and ill sudo rm -rf * on one of my linux vboxes and let u know [01:43] My monitor is locked at a resolution of no higher than 1366x768. What can I do? Nvidia graphics card and nvidia drivers. [01:43] fman23: deal [01:43] hi folks winff gets stuck on my system for some reason, is there a way to troubleshoot why or an alternative to winff? [01:43] RokcStar_: tomorrow 6:00pm EST [01:44] so about 2 hours and 44 minutes ago [01:44] tomorrow [01:44] gebbione: cli only? [01:44] fman23: im doing it now [01:44] lol [01:44] i guess ill do it on my mythtv one [01:44] darkx: Ubuntu not got any suggestions for using dual boot? [01:45] acerimmer: if i wanted to use cli i would not have asked about winff [01:45] minix2004: no, the option to install alongside is not there. i can either erase win7 or "something else", and i am not sure what to do in the "something else" (partitioning) menu. === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [01:47] darkx: You must go to "something else" looking for manual partition instructions [01:47] RokcStar_: holy errors, lol it wont delete /proc /sys [01:48] minix2004: how do i properly free space on the partition? [01:48] hello my fellow ubuntos [01:48] in use? [01:49] RokcStar_: yeah, and then, it wouldnt run any more commands, all not found [01:49] RokcStar_: now it wont load the menu and now the kernel crashed, yes crashed not even paniced, with error: ELF header smaller than expected [01:50] fman23: well thats no fun..rename all the commands? [01:50] RokcStar_: no everything is gone lol [01:50] darkx: with gparted you have to create a second partition in extended file system [01:50] no instead of del, rename [01:50] that would be pretty funny too [01:50] minix2004: what is the process and specifications of creating it? [01:52] whats up [01:53] im trying to find help perhaps someone may be able to asist? [01:53] antipragmatist, sorry, but I find no useful info on that chip. From the looks of things it should just work [01:53] !ask|ChayDX [01:53] ChayDX: 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 [01:54] hmmmm [01:54] :( [01:54] that sucks [01:54] antipragmatist: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:54] it works fine on 11.04 [01:54] tjiggi_fo: USB wifi is notorious for problems - but they ARE cheap.

[01:56] xD [01:56] im having a problem with my wireless in 11.10 it was working when i first installe the os but i clicked disable wireless from the menu bar and now i cant reenable it all it says is that it is disabled by the hardware switch but no matter how many times i press the switch it does nothing [01:56] m4v, translate plis :D [01:56] :) [01:56] ChayDX: login to your administrator account and try to enable [01:56] acerimmer, I know, had to do lots of blacklisting to get mine to work [01:57] Dots have Arabic? [01:57] ok thank you acerimmer i will try that brb [01:57] RokcStar: so how did windows take it? [01:57] aceeer: try #ubuntu-arabic? [01:58] Look under windows in google or so for an gparted iso. Then download burn a new cd with this image. Put it into your CD-slide an run your PC. At next you got informations about your partitons. Then you have to make smaller your NT-Partiton. Then create a second new partition in ext.3 file format. After that put out your CD and put Ubuntu-CD in. If you got information for installing ubuntu... [01:58] ...will showing the new partition and make suggestions to choose that new partition. [01:59] This I made for myself for a dual boot system [01:59] Hloo [01:59] aceeer: ! #ubuntu-arabic [02:00] aceeer: !|#ubuntu-arabic [02:00] Thank [02:01] darkx: I know, this is very new for a Linux beginner. Windows and Linux/Unix are not the same! === Nathan_ is now known as Guest2913 [02:03] darkx: you can use google for ubuntu wiki. Then you can ask for partitoning for a dual-boot too for informations. [02:03] i'm gonna do sojmething what will almost always work [02:04] darkx: There also a lot of open free books for ubuntu/Linux. Use your browser!

[02:10] and whats it for [02:12] darkx: Ask for galileo, oreilly , addison-wesley or opensuse books. Theres also some Unix stuff. Linux usually have extended file system, Windows NTFS or FAT Systems.

[02:17] Satra: please use the Debian file archive [02:17] darkx: New PCs usually preinstalled Windows 7. Why you choose a emulator? [02:18] whats that darkx? [02:19] yoooooooo whats happening all?!?! [02:19] I was curious with regard/reference to issues successfully compiling a package on more specifically ubuntu system [02:19] minix2004: well I am a university student studying advanced emulation and function control, and I chose to do a project involving converting polygraph signals to visualize wavelenghts for easy Fourier Analysis on an emulator [02:19] *on my ubuntu linux system [02:20] is anyone here familiar with zeromq [02:20] ??? [02:20] darkx : ??/ [02:20] whats this debian file archive you are talking about [02:20] Ubuntu based on Debian. Ubuntu packages usually have *.deb files [02:20] cyclicflux: what exactly so u mean [02:20] Satra: the archive can be found on google [02:21] no other solution darkx? [02:21] cant apt get the job done? [02:21] Satra: there me a dire option...... [02:22] Satra: Choose google for searching it. Like Oneiric an *.deb file. This asterisk stands for the file you looking for. [02:23] jongbergs, I mean that I am installing it, and appearantly am not installing it to the right place, due to there being no package, and having to manually then compile it from source. [02:23] whats all this about [02:23] jongbergs, I myself am more familiar with archlinux, but I am on a machine that is using ubuntu. [02:23] i deleted a directoy by mistake that wicd uses [02:23] i need to reinstall wicd, thats all correct? [02:23] that didnt work, what is the solution to this? [02:24] i doknt know what darkx is talking about to be honest [02:24] Satra: You can give apt-get install xxxxx.deb a try [02:24] satra, I'd install wicd [02:24] cyclicflux: ok so u want to know how to compile frm src on ubuntu [02:24] thats the problem [02:24] didnt work [02:25] satra: i really don't think i can help you [02:25] i did apt-get remove wicd then apt-get install wicd [02:25] and still the files are missing [02:25] darkx: np [02:25] By the way.. (Hello first).. I'm using XChat to talk here. Anyone can tell me if it's a good choice ???? [02:25] yes best out there VdBsKuNk [02:25] VdBsKuNk: You are making a mistake [02:26] Thanks a lot Satra !!! :) [02:26] VdBsKuNk: yes [02:26] jongbergs, ehhhh.... I can compile under ordinary circumstances, however this is a kernel level wrapper that enables synchronous two way inter-process communication, via sockets/etc... [02:26] jongbergs, and although successfully compiling a number of programs on the ubuntu system it appears that this is not working. [02:27] thanks darkx , acerimmer :) [02:27] darkx, lol, what sort of mistake do i make ?? [02:28] So anyone know how to force a hard drive to operate in SATAI mode? I keep reading about it but nothing about how to [02:28] VdBsKuNk: Xchat is a catalyst for sexting [02:28] darkx: I dont know anything about Fourier Analysis, sorry very much . . . [02:28] bah wc sry [02:28] Satra, I would run a purge rather then remove then reinstall> [02:28] minix2004: ... with some TGG on the side? [02:28] darkx, erf.. and what about you ?? [02:28] jongbergs, I am putting zeromq on then its python binding pyzmq, https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq2-1 [02:29] TGG is what??? [02:29] VdBsKuNk: i use bitchx2 [02:29] I've got to roll for a few minutes back in a bit. [02:29] cyclicflux: i see cyclicflux u need someone with deep understanding on low level compilation [02:30] minix2004: Transformational Generative Grammar [02:30] jongbergs, I was kind of thinking that because I only had to do stuff like this with/in archlinux, with arch-build-system/etc... . [02:31] darkx: The use of Transformaltional Generative Grammar for what? [02:31] darkx, ok... and even if i use linux ?? (actually in France) [02:31] darkx: This channel is for Ubutu support only. I really think that your question is outside the scope of this channel. [02:32] jongbergs, I am reading the install portion on the git repository for it and I am trying to go and find the various ubuntu parameters necessary to do it [02:32] minix2004: For my polygraph [02:32] VdBsKuNk: Yes BitchX2 is for Linux friends as well [02:32] jongbergs, that semantically to some degree is what I believe the problem to be. I also was referencing shared-libraries on the tldp.org site [02:33] ok darkx , i'm gonna try it.... Bye !!! [02:33] Jordan_U: I'm sorry Jordan. I won't mess up again. Please do not banish me from the server. I have come here to learn [02:34] cyclicflux: i see gudluck i hope u will find what ur looking for :) [02:34] darkx: Polygraph and oszillograph are similiar? Sorry about this question. [02:35] minix2004: depends on what you want to use them for [02:35] 'Language support' in system settings seems not to work at all - window opens, gnome-language-selector progress bar shows up, and then the window closes... 11.10..

[03:04] Arcademan: For me, both audio jacks of mine work. Are they from the same audio card for you? [03:05] darkx: This isn't a place to advertise other channels either. This is your last warning about offtopic comments. [03:05] I only see one almoxarife :) [03:05] metap0d, generally I suggest unetbootin to load a thumb, I use one called multisystem that will load multiple ISO's myself. [03:05] And it only goes through one jack not the other :) [03:06] urlin2u: I tried unetbootin too, unfortunately it's the same result. [03:06] metap0d, you getting a black screen? [03:06] Yes its the same sound card with muti outputs :) [03:06] Jordan-U: What about new lenses supported in unity oneiric? [03:06] urlin2u: Using Universal USB Installer, it goes to the install mention correctly. But if I try to choose Install Ubuntu or Run Ubuntu it just blinks and comes back to the menu. [03:07] urlin2u: It'll stay in an endless loop, counting down from 5 and selecting Run Ubuntu over and over. [03:07] so nobody here is able to help with my "Hash Sum mismatch" pb ? [03:07] Iluvalar1: You haven't even asked a question yet. Try that first. [03:07] Jordan_U. I ask for a list or collections of lenses. New categories. [03:08] Iluvalar1: I suspect a corrupted download. DL again and hash check. [03:08] minix2004: I don't know anything about that myself, sorry. [03:08] how is everyone tonight? [03:09] metap0d, hmm could be a bad download you can check the md5sum of the iso. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [03:09] !ot | n0nuf [03:09] n0nuf: #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! [03:09] acerimmer: I already switched the server in the option and downloaded again without success [03:10] I am having issues with ubuntu i386 livecd. I have an ASUS Radeon HD 5450 which is not supported. I need to know how to start the system in text mode only so I can install and change the driver. [03:10] !alternate | n0nuf [03:10] n0nuf: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [03:10] n0nuf, use the alternative [03:11] Ok, I'll look. Does anyone have a recommendation on an ATI chipset low profile card that will run on a 300W PS on a mini-ITX setup? [03:11] i delete insetall of uboo-boo 10.04 [03:12] acerimmer: jordan_U each try time i try to update the packages it says : W:Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch [03:12] and more of the same type.. i wont spam [03:12] it turns out the ubunto is a boo-boo [03:12] urlin2u: The MD5 sum matches the alternate install cd, do you think there would be a reason in trying the standard ISO? [03:13] The UBUNTU alternative downloads are torrents. I am not setup for this. is there an install ISO or IMG file. [03:13] n0nuf: There are non-torrent download links for the altenate install isos. [03:13] What do Ubuntu users think about new lenses to Ubuntu-Wiki, tutorials to bash and editors and most used software applications? [03:14] metap0d, either should work, I haven't booted a alternative for a while so I'm not sure why you would see a run ubuntu, on a live cd it is try ubuntu, both work the alternative is for text installs. [03:15] I want to get the horizsync for my monitor..I have it hooked up to a laptop with intel graphics..What can I do [03:15] quick question: what are those "alternate" versions of ubuntu on the alternative downloads tab @ubuntu.com? [03:16] Guacamayo: DVD, ubuntu lite, etc. [03:16] ubottu: tell Guacamayo about alternate [03:16] Guacamayo, please see my private message [03:16] Does anyone know how to restrict users from executing commands like rm, rmdir, chmod etc? [03:16] acerimmer: is just a text installerm not an 'ubuntu lite' [03:17] n0nuf: http://mirror.pnl.gov/releases/11.10/ [03:17] Guacamayo, alternative is a text install and has a few other tools. [03:17] n0nuf, http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ [03:17] n0nuf, is oneric what you wanted? [03:17] seshagiri: Trying to blacklist commands is not going to increase security or prevent mallicious users from doing mallicious things. What is your end goal> [03:18] I see, thanks for the responds ;) [03:18] Thank you. I found an install CD for alternate 11.10. [03:18] ? [03:18] n0nuf, why did you need alternate cd ? [03:18] raid? [03:18] i would suggest make regular user not root [03:19] bucky: I have ASUS Radeon HD 5450 and the vid drv is not supported. Screen turns to crap when it boots. [03:19] n0nuf, can you use the server install? [03:19] ic [03:19] no. server install does the same thing. [03:19] n0nuf, you familiar with nomodeset? [03:20] Another ?: Can I mount the UBUNTU ALT CD image in CENTOS 6 and chroot into it to test it? [03:21] URL: no. I have not used *nix for years. Getting tired of being a *dows server engineer. Want a new job back in the *nix world. [03:22] n0nuf, try the install again and F1-5 to see the instructions... look for the nomodeset option [03:22] Does Linux have open source hypervisor like VMWare ESXi? [03:23] Jordan_U: I have an environment like Smash the Stack. Contestants will be logging in to server and i have taken the write access from every files. But still i am afraid :) [03:24] n0nuf, kvm xen open-vm others [03:24] got it to work manually with a file edit thank you guys :) [03:25] bucky: ty. are they as stable and efficient as VMWare? I have ESXi 4.1 enterprise server. I don't want to pay another 5K to upgrade to v5. [03:26] seshagiri: I'm going to be blunt. If you are actually considering denying access to chmod as a security measure you're probably doomed unless the people you are inviting to "attack" are incompitent. I would recomment not trying to do what it sounds like you're trying to do. [03:26] i tried software called "storage device manager" to manage my partitions however instead of helping - when i boot i get errors such as "an error occuredwhen mounting /media/sdb1 NTFS system is missing" [03:26] yes.. kvm is quite mature and in the kernel tree... 12.04 server has openstack and all that stuff [03:27] bucky: rgr. tyvm for information. I will look into it. Do you know if the VMDK files will transfer over or will the VM's have to be rebuilt? [03:27] urlin2u: Using the standard download ISO worked, go figure : ) [03:28] metap0d, good deal. [03:28] n0nuf, pretty sure they can be converted read about kvm [03:28] bucky: rgr. [03:29] n0nuf, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/FAQ [03:29] Jordan_U: That is a good piece of information. As it is my first organizing, i am little bit afraid! Thanks for clarifying my doub'ts [03:29] seshagiri: You're welcome. [03:29] bucky: Like I said, it's been awhile since I've been in *nix world. Is it possible to mount the alternate image in CentOS 6 and chroot into the ubuntu environment and install? [03:30] n0nuf: No. It is possible to install Ubuntu from another Distribution, but it's not at all practical. [03:31] Jordan: rgr. tyvm [03:31] n0nuf: You're welcome. [03:32] Jordan: Do you know of another ATI driver that will work on Ubuntu 11.1 and ATI Radeon HD 5450? [03:34] n0nuf, i'm surprised you're having trouble.. my 5750 works just fine [03:34] all of a sudden i cant ftp into my ubuntu 11.10 server.. vsftpd is running and it gets to verifying password and then it times out, any ideas? [03:34] bucky: Yes, I was suprised also. I looked at supported hardware on ubuntu ws, and this seems to be one of the only cards not on the list. lol. all other *nix distros work fine. It's just ubuntu. [03:35] n0nuf, which version of ubuntu are you installing? [03:35] bucky: 11.10 . I've tried i386, AMD_64, in both desktop and server vars [03:36] hmm... dunno [03:36] got another card laying around? [03:37] ugh, Nvidia Optimus >< [03:37] bucky: I will stop at store on the way back to KC Monday and get something else that will run on a 300w PS. I'm just trying to use this vacation time to setup some servers for testing. [03:38] ok, I'm off for a bit to reinstall and see if alt version will work on this card. thanks for the information. If I don't see you, you guys have a good evening. [03:39] Hello I have some questions regarding edubuntu 11.10 ltsp [03:40] I have an internet problem on my linux box [03:41] Hey all. I'm trying to flash my BIOS from live cd.. I can't get Ubuntu to boot because of some disk reading issue, and I suspect the BIOS is at fault (BIOS says device is 128GB, not 320) [03:41] For some reason while other computers can connect to the wifi I can not [03:41] i want to strip the bloat out of 11.10, is there a site that offers up various profiles for such a thing? [03:41] The linux.dell.com wiki is only so helpful. Packages are missing [03:42] How do I check to locate the problem [03:42] How can I find out my device's ID? [03:42] Anyone here to help with gnome shell installation? [03:42] gnome irc is dead [03:43] devis_: What's your issue, I can try to help. [03:43] ./window 4 [03:44] !nounity | devis_ [03:44] devis_: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [03:44] thank you [03:44] Glacia: your system log is a good start, the one labeled 'syslog' [03:44] I installed gnome shell and have logged in with with but im having some grphic problems [03:45] Ok [03:45] my text and icons are all blurry and distorted [03:48] I Have three syslogs [03:49] any hints?

I have the necessary programs to make compile apps. The issue I'm having is that when I do the command "cd /usr/local/src/foldername" it tells me that directory doesn't exist. And I need to be in the directory to execute the make command [03:56] anyone familiar with remastersys? [03:56] Can I ignore the ipv6 auth? [03:56] Glacia: one of the syslog as a 0(zero)?, that be the one [03:56] Grymmoire: typo would do that... [03:56] I didn't make a typo though [03:56] Glacia: yes, you can [03:57] "cd /usr/local/svn/wxWidgets" [03:57] No typo [03:58] And I changed permissions on the folder so I could access them [03:58] any hints? My desktop machine is amd64 arch w/maverick.. upgrading from kernel 3.1.9 to 3.2.1 manually locks up my wireless mouse+keyboard.. my config is here: http://pastebin.com/fVaau7H0 [03:59] Ok well that didnt work... I dont understand the 0(zero) I know that you are talking about the number zero.... I see a syslog without numbers is that the one... In the text edit it talks about a ipv6 auth failed/timedout [04:01] anyone familiar with remastersys? [04:01] I ignored the ip6 because of no ip6 routers present [04:01] Glacia: it was not 'ignored' before?

[05:00] <_Dom> The musicplayer [05:00] <_Dom> Is coded in C++ using libsdl-dev and libsdl-mixer1.2(-dev) [05:01] mucus: Use a software called unetbootin. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ Can install on Windows, or just use this command in linux to install, sudo apt-get install unetbootin Or search for unetbootin in Ubuntu package manager. [05:01] i have that [05:01] mucus: You can then open the program from the menu.

[05:40] have a question for those of you who actually write code, if i find a nears copy of your code but much older is that because it would be obvious to use that exact code or is it because it was copy pasted? [05:41] mucus: That should work just fine. [05:41] cool thanks [05:43] can someone help me? i cant play music with rhthymbox [05:43] skpl, any errors?

(As I plan to duelboot) [06:51] is this the solution i'm looking for? - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ - I just installed windows as a dual boot for ubuntu 11.04. At startup of the PC, It doesn't give me dual boot options and directly runs windows. Any help on this? Thank you very much. [06:53] Badman: Yes. [06:54] <_live> question about lkm. in freebsd: /boot/kernel/*ko ; in linux (e.g. debian): /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/*/*ko ; freebsd allows you to download compiled modules as a gzip'd tarball from an ftp server. does linux allow something similar? or are these part of packages? apologies i'm a linux noob. [06:54] ibis: One more question, I am running ubuntu 11.04 and have live CD for 10.04 LTS. Do I need to download the 11.04 live CD to do that? [06:54] No, the older disk should work fine. [06:54] anyone know why the brightness control on my laptop appears to change the brightness according to the system, but the brightness doesn't actually change? Lenovo t410 with 11.10 [06:55] ibis: Thank you very much :) [06:55] at bazhang you know lol you know you might wanna be mean cause [06:56] Badman, your link is not for the grub your using. [06:56] hiexpo, lets stay on topic here [06:56] urlin2u: I don't get you [06:57] almoxarife: you still there? [06:57] skpl: here [06:57] probally [06:57] skpl: arent you having different issues along with pulse? desktop maybe? [06:57] Badman, the link your using is for grub legacy you have grub2 follow this link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [06:58] almoxarife: nope, no issues, other than my sound card not showing up ion sound properties [06:58] hola ubuntu! [06:59] urlin2u : I would like to follow up on my live CD, but for some reason it doesn't detect my ethernet driver [06:59] i am a noob to ubutunu. i used to have windows and run norton and malware bytes for antivirus [06:59] any recommendations for anti virus? [06:59] nivyaj, same here, does ubuntu need a anti virus software? [06:59] nivyaj, none needed, really [06:59] Badman, not sure what that means can you expand that reasoning [06:59] !virus | nivyaj [06:59] nivyaj: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [07:00] nivyaj, you don't need any, unless your serving files or email. [07:00] urlin2u : It doesn't connect to the internet, doesn't detect wire. Says "No network devices available" [07:00] almoxarife: do you think installing the 'linux' package would help? [07:01] Badman, what does tis have to do with reloading the correct grub? [07:01] skpl: you mean a fresh install? [07:01] this [07:01] Badman, you mean the booted cd wont get to the net? [07:01] but momma always said to use protection! [07:01] urlin2u : yea [07:01] i don't neeed none?! [07:02] almoxarife: no, there is a package called 'linux' it installs the latest generic kernel [07:02] Is there any way inside of XFCE to set a systemwide default sound device? [07:02] urlin2u : I guess I can download the webpage, that would solve the problem [07:02] skpl: did you also play with the kernel? [07:02] no [07:03] nivyaj, read the link please [07:03] urlin2u : Should this fix it? http://www.troublefixers.com/ubuntu-boot-menu-missing-after-installing-windows-in-dual-boot-fix-ubuntu-bootloader/ [07:03] badman: have you tried to run the command "ifup eth0" [07:04] Syph3r : I would try that. thanks [07:05] skpl: no, i cant see that making a diff, what has worked for me in the past is the install of 'ubuntu-desktop' when i did a bit too much experimenting, but you say you did that, so i am at a loss, lets see your dpkg.log , perhaps there are 'removed' you didnt re-install [07:05] almoxarife: ok [07:05] also urlin2u , are you confident it is grub2 i'm on? [07:05] Badman, use the link I gave you you have to chroot in with a other then 11.04 cd, vgrub 2 is finicky here. [07:05] slicknick5181: will it move also /home/... var what to type to get file destination [07:06] Badman, grub 2 has been the bootloader for awhile read the wiki. [07:06] urlin2u : okay :) So I must follow all the commands in ChRoot category? [07:06] Badman, yes read carefully [07:07] skpl: btw, if you have no reason why you cant just re-install the whole thing i would very much suggest it, not knowing what was done when pulse was completely stripped [07:07] which distro is the best in ya'll opinion [07:07] urlin2u : thank you very much :). So much to play video games on windows :| [07:07] Badman, no problem, good luck. :D [07:07] which distro is the best in ya'll opinion [07:08] bazhang: sorry- i was being sassy. [07:08] Hello all! Does anyone know about building ltsp clients [07:08] Is there any way inside of XFCE to set a systemwide default sound device? [07:08] which distro is the best in ya'll opinion [07:08] almoxarife: i'd rather not re-install, i have not backed up my data [07:10] drey_: stop already [07:10] he's gone [07:10] urlin2u: i dont see any of that :) [07:11] skpl: ok, the log? [07:11] almoxarife, like wow man what's the best uh....uh...oh...I forgot now [07:12] Now no one will know which distro is the greatest. :( [07:12] Connor1, are you saying different apps. can use different sound devices with XFCE? [07:12] almoxarife: im looking through it. it is too big to pastebin [07:13] n2diy: I use an external sound card, so far I'm really not finding any way to have it be my default sound card for everything. [07:13] skpl: look for remove and pulse [07:13] almoxarife: ok [07:13] I have these folders with makefiles, but when I use the command "sudo make install" I get "No rule to make target install" [07:13] What do I do [07:14] Grymmoire, try make first then make install. [07:14] Connor1: external like on another machine? [07:14] Okay [07:14] Connor1, ok, I'm having trouble with my sound too. Some apps. make sounds and some, like this Xchat-Gnome don't. I haven't tried to track it down yet though. I see you asked in #xfce, you might also try in #xumbuntu? [07:15] xubuntu [07:15] I just don't see why there's not an easy way to do this [07:16] Connor1: you cant set default in 'sound properties'?? [07:16] almoxarife: nope [07:16] almoxarife: gotta reboot, brb [07:16] skpl: ok [07:17] i_is_broke I used that command and it told me "No targets specified and no makefile found." [07:17] Does anyone have experience building clients for ltsp with multiple distros [07:17] Though I'm looking in the directory and I see 3 files with the word makefil in them [07:18] hi..how to check MD5 Checksum..? [07:18] !md5sum [07:18] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [07:18] !md5 | me-1 [07:18] me-1: please see above [07:18] !hashes | me-1 also here [07:18] me-1 also here: See http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/11.10/MD5SUMS for the md5sums of the latest Ubuntu release [07:19] ubottu, i am trying to check sum of Minix 3 [07:19] me-1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === Vaela is now known as Vael_Sleeping [07:20] almoxarife: still no sound [07:21] testeee [07:21] hows everyone doing? [07:21] goood [07:21] almoxarife: should i try using alsa instead? i've seen some tutorials on the net about using alsa [07:21] skpl: hardware not shown? [07:22] almoxarife: no, hardware not shown [07:22] can i re-install the sound preferences? [07:23] me-1: An md5 sum or md5 hash is a string of numbers and letters like "95d5242f6e91ba98b924ba3c6d88c23e". You can use the instructions linked to you by ubottu to find the md5sum of any given file on your computer, but you'll need to find the md5sum of the original image you're trying to verify on that image's website. [07:25] when i type "ls" then it gives me all that suppose /home/shree/videos/ mv to my pen drive as i want so how to type extactly now if i get successful log in and $ home/shree/videos hen mv to penndrive what to type [07:26] this is the best hash check. its a right click list of different hash md5 sha etc. check it out works with xp or win7 http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ [07:27] Hello all, does anyone know of a way to apply the rsync/rdiff protocol from a streamed/piped input? It's a file on the destination, but the source is from a pipe, and is too large to write to a file, then rsync it. [07:28] Syph3r: what if you want to view the properties of a large file? [07:28] <_live> question about lkm. in freebsd: /boot/kernel/*ko ; in linux (e.g. debian): /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/*/*ko ; freebsd allows you to download compiled modules as a gzip'd tarball from an ftp server. does linux allow something similar? or are these part of packages? apologies i'm a linux noob. [07:28] trevorj: Why do you need to use rsync rather than ftp/scp/ some other file transfer protocal? [07:28] Jordan_U: In case of transmission failure, I can't send this multiple times [07:29] trevorj: It's going to be difficult to continue a partial copy with any protocal as pipes are not seekable. [07:29] Jordan_U: very good point! [07:29] trevorj: What is writing to this pipe? [07:30] Jordan_U: binary filesystem data [07:30] trevorj: Why is it a pipe rather than a regular file? What is the source, or more to the point, what is your end goal in all this? [07:31] Jordan_U: Reading the entire input locally and checking it by a certain blocksize checksum and only transferring the changes would still be much better as this is all done via WAN [07:31] Jordan_U: It's sending filesystem snapshots via WAN for DR [07:31] Jordan_U: then applying them async en queue on the destination [07:32] trevorj: What is the end goal here? Some type of incremental backup system? [07:33] Jordan_U: yep, only block level changes are sent per snapshot [07:33] Ivoz: right click on the and it will show you a progress of the current hash check it working on at the moment [07:33] Jordan_U: but the problem is these snapshots tend to be rather big [07:33] Jordan_U: and if the net flickers it could take days before it's done transferring again [07:33] Syph3r: http://cdn3.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/not-bad-obama.png [07:33] trevorj: Are you using LVM snapshots? How are you determining what blocks have changed? [07:35] Jordan_U: yeah with lvm or dm-multisnap you can prod it into telling you what's changed [07:36] Jordan_U: With the Solaris boxes I just use zfs's send [07:36] trevorj: In the future you'll probably use btrfs-send :) [07:36] Jordan_U: I wish I had faith in btrfs [07:36] Jordan_U: But I don't yet. [07:37] Jordan_U: Great ideas, but it needs a lot of work. [07:37] trevorj: Around what size do the deltas tend to be? [07:37] Jordan_U: varies from 500m to 500g [07:37] Jordan_U: up to 2t [07:39] I am trying to remaster Ubuntu, while in chroot of the editable iso I am trying to run espeak; I get an error saying "Expression 'snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate( pcm, hwParams, approx, dir )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 2470" [07:39] can someone help me with this? [07:39] Jordan_U: the trick is to get each box sending early as possible [07:39] Jordan_U: so the snapshots stay nice and small [07:40] avani12931: Did you bind mount /dev/ /proc/ and /sys/ within the chroot? [07:41] i did [07:41] mount -t proc none /proc mount -t sysfs none /sys mount -t devpts none /dev/pts [07:41] Jordan_U: If I have to, I'll just write an app utilizing librsync that does this, I was just wondering if I'd be reinventing a good wheel [07:42] trevorj: Have you looked into a tool called "ddsnap"? It's in one of the answers here: http://serverfault.com/questions/27397/sync-lvm-snapshots-to-backup-server and sounds like it may be useful. [07:42] Jordan_U: hehe, yes, we have used ddsnap [07:42] Jordan_U: good find [07:42] trevorj: Rsync does a *lot* more than just continue partial copies, and is overkill for something like that. [07:43] I ran out of space on my wubi install... what should I do??? [07:43] trevorj: As I understand it, you just need to be able to continue the copy from where you left off, where the question of where you left off can be answered by simply looking at the size of the destination file. [07:43] rm -rf /windows7 [07:44] tron: no thanks, I use windows for C# and .NET [07:44] haha [07:44] I'm really new to this wubi thing... dunno even where to see available space [07:44] Jordan_U: you have a good point there, that makes the problem much simpler. [07:44] throstur: It's possible to resize wubi's root.disk but it's not easy and as far as I know not documented. How important is this? Why are you using Wubi rather than a standard dual boot setup? [07:45] I'm using wubi because it was easier at the time [07:45] Jordan_U: I would rather it be block checksummed, but that's great for now [07:45] Jordan_U: I'll just trash the pipe input till that byte [07:46] I have 10 GB on the end of C allocated to Archlinux, maybe I should just add ubuntu to the grub and partition another 10GB for ubuntu... [07:46] trevorj: It still seems like you're probably wasting a lot of resources reading data which does not need to be re-read, but I don't know what other considerations you have. [07:47] throstur: If it's not too much trouble, doing a normal install is probably the way to go. [07:47] Jordan_U: I agree there, it's much better than the current state [07:47] Jordan_U: but not optimal [07:48] Jordan_U: it is a bit of trouble, I've never done it alone before... but I will try nevertheless [07:48] wait a minute... how do I edit the grub file in win7? [07:48] go ask in #window$ [07:48] notepad? :P [07:48] !behelpful | tron [07:48] tron: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [07:49] kibble: i'm gonna go with tron's suggestion and ask where to find it first [07:49] throstur: Boot an Ubuntu liveCD and install Ubuntu normally. [07:49] ;) [07:49] !fuckoff | penghuang [07:49] Jordan_U: will that 100% not fudge up my windows and archlinux boots? [07:50] lol [07:50] nope not at all [07:50] Syph3r: great, thanks [07:50] tron: that was not very nice. Please make sure to read the !guidelines ubottu linked you. [07:50] blow me [07:50] throstur: It's very unlikely to. You can never make any guarantee with this type of thing, and you should always have good backups (even if you aren't doing anything major like this). [07:51] will drivers such as compat-wireless and such be compatible with the 64-bit version, or should I just get the 32 bit one? [07:52] throstur, Not much difference as they both use the same kernel except 64-Bit of course runs 64-Bit apps. [07:53] throstur: I highly recommend 64 bit, I don't know why the Ubuntu download page still recommends the 32-bit version for desktop. [07:53] trevorj, That's cause the majority tend to still be on 32-Bit. [07:53] :P [07:53] trevorj: well it's a laptop but nevertheless [07:53] throstur: by desktop I meant desktop ubuntu, ie not server [07:53] ahh okay [07:53] aBound: really? interesting! [07:54] Hi has anyone used Vapor the cross platform steam chat client? [07:54] trevorj, Other countries other than the USA. :P [07:54] steam.. [07:54] aBound: ah, makes some good sense. [07:54] Try going to Africa. :P [07:54] now we have orgin.. [07:54] am from africa [07:54] Morocco [07:55] Hello, i was wondering what would be a good program to use for file compression with ubuntu [07:55] aBound: I think it should show whatever your browsing from's arch personally, but that's just me [07:55] I'd always recommend 64-Bit like trevorj implied. Has a bigger RAM capacity. [07:55] Frantic_: cli? gzip, or if you have multiple cores, pigz is parallel gzip [07:56] hehe [07:56] Frantic_: You can write click any file in Ubuntu's default file browser (nautilus) and select "Compress..." to compress it using Archive Manager. [07:56] Cli? will it do ISO compression? [07:56] trevorj, By the way I noticed I can't run ZSNES on 64-Bit interesting to note. [07:57] Frantic_: What is your end goal? [07:57] aBound: damn, I thought all was working these days, it's been years [07:57] :( tears [07:57] aBound: now that java and flash have worked for quite some time, I hadn't noticed anything since [07:57] :P [07:57] I have been storing files on an external hard drive. I'm running out of space and have 45gigs of music i want to compress into a much smaller format. [07:58] aBound: 386 dchroot? [07:58] I need room for movies while im at camp [07:58] Testing irc [07:58] aBound: I suppose you can just install the 386 version though huh [07:58] Can't live without flash but I can live without Java. [07:58] trevorj, I tried the i386 version it said it didn't support my Arch. [07:58] :P [07:58] aBound: instal the 386 deb with force [07:59] aBound: then use getlibs on the bin [07:59] Oh boy, worked for you? [07:59] aBound: nah, works for all 386 bins [07:59] Unless, someone's brave enough to code it for 64-Bit hehe. [07:59] Ahh, I gotcha. [07:59] Jordan_U: I have been storing files on an external hard drive. I'm running out of space and have 45gigs of music i want to compress into a much smaller format. [08:00] aBound: I could live without java if it weren't for every infiniband switch I got requiring it to manage it >< [08:00] aBound: I literally have java 1.4r12 installed as a jvm. sigh. [08:00] trevorj, I probably couldn't live without it if I were trying to learn how to program in it. Yet, I'm not but possibly in the future. [08:00] HA! [08:01] 7zip is really good [08:01] Syph3r, Agreed. [08:01] Ive never been able to get 7zip to do a heavy compression === Phoenix is now known as Guest90789 [08:01] Frantic_: music is hard to compress, you may want to try lzma (I think 7zip uses lzma alg, not sure however) [08:01] Hello everybody [08:02] aBound: There are 64 bit packages for zsnex in the default Ubuntu repositories. [08:02] aBound: Android? [08:02] trevorj, Be nice if I had a smartphone. [08:02] But it'd be Android no doubt if I had one. [08:02] aBound: ah, I was meaning about learning java [08:02] Hi. I'm having some problems with my debian install :I [08:02] ah wait [08:03] shit [08:03] Jordan_U, In the Software Center it doesn't exist it shows it but than tells me it isn't there. [08:03] I'm assuming Synaptic it's in? [08:03] trevorj, But wouldn't you need an Android phone for doing tests on? [08:03] I was thinking of ISO compression. [08:03] aBound: nah, comes with an emulator [08:03] Or does it use some form of emulation. [08:03] HA! [08:03] aBound: good call [08:04] aBound: it's a qemu-arm emulation [08:04] I wonder how reliable it is. [08:04] aBound: it's reliable [08:04] Frantic_: ISO 9660 is not a format for compression. I'm not sure what you're reffering to. [08:04] Good enough downside is finding the right editor and/or ide for it. :P [08:04] aBound: you need a pretty quick PC to make it not run like crap however [08:04] aBound: eclipse [08:05] aBound: android sdk is, well, built in [08:05] Some people dislike eclipse due to the crashes it's garnered overtime. [08:05] Im new and dont entirely know what im talking about, to be brutally honoust. [08:05] Frantic_, No worries. [08:05] how much space should I partition for ubuntu? [08:05] I seen eclipse, netbeans, intellij-idea and some other ide. [08:05] aBound: I've never had it crash in a year, but it does eat ram [08:06] aBound: Looks like I was simply mistaken. Sorry. [08:06] RAM isn't an issue for me but learning is a pain. [08:06] Jordan_U, No problem man. [08:06] aBound: I like how it handles perl, python, java, html, css, js [08:06] anyone use kdenlive in here? [08:06] trevorj, Gotta have motivation when it comes to learning. :P [08:06] thanks :). so LZMA is seemingly my best bet for a solid and possibly deepest file compression? [08:07] hi..is there other VM other than virtualbox..? [08:07] aBound: agreed [08:07] I think I'd more or less use VIM for C, C++, Perl, Python and the likes whereas an IDE for Java/C# in my opinion. [08:07] me-1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine [08:07] Frantic_: What type of files are you trying to compress> [08:07] ? [08:07] me-1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine#List_of_virtual_machine_software [08:07] Jordan_U: MP3 primarily in this compression. [08:08] aBound: I agree for most things, but vim grows tiresome with a big project for me [08:08] Seeing as once you're familiar with vim bindings. You can use the IDE and combine vi bindings. Making you feel at home or emacs bindings. [08:08] throstur, i am asking about ubuntu [08:08] hi all.. had a basic query.. if i add a partition (ntfs) to my fstab file.. will it be automounted during boot? [08:08] trevorj, No doubt but all tools are best suited for using certain editors/ide's. === bc_ is now known as [-] [08:09] It can be a hassle using vim and it can be a hassle using an ide. [08:09] Use what works for you in a particular situation. [08:09] !fstab | lazerator [08:09] lazerator: by default yes, unless you specify noauto in the options column [08:09] lazerator: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:10] so if i set auto it gets mounted everytime? [08:10] /j #perl [08:11] lol [08:11] how much space should I partition for ubuntu? I will not be using it for much, but would like *some* room for expansion. [08:12] Jordan_U: mp3 files. [08:13] Looks like I gotta write a little shell and/or perl script just to eject my drive. [08:13] aBound: apt-get install eject ? [08:13] sup ubuntu world [08:14] aBound: installed by default iirc === _adrian__ is now known as de_Bian === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [08:14] trevorj, Seeing as my drive doesn't contain a button. I have to use: wodom -eject. [08:15] Simple perl script woot. [08:15] Frantic_: I don't think you're going to be able to compress an mp3 much, given that it's already a compressed format. [08:16] Where can i find a current list of reported bugs/enhancement requests to look into for linux kernel? is there a way of tracking them.. i checked out some kernel bugzilla link but it appears to be non functional [08:17] lazerator, You can see a few new features for Linux kernel 3.2: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.2 [08:18] damn it, alright, i was hoping i could make it smaller for storage. [08:18] lazerator: lkml.org I suppose, phoronix.org has lots of news articles for new features and benchmarks, etc [08:18] throstur: se https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [08:18] hmmm.. how come there isnt an official bug tracking tool? lkml is a mailing list right..

[09:35] werder: Thanks, I'll try [09:35] ActionParsnip: and that's why we are trying to help him fix it.

[09:42] moljac024: that language is not welcome here [09:42] it in the ubountu server for 10.04 [09:42] how can i get the default splash back? removing the package did not help [09:42] nah ,its not working [09:43] oCean, well, who thought that if i wanted to install an artwork package i automatically wanted my splash changed and my kernel image rebuilt? [09:43] moljac024: it's because it adds the boot splash to plymouth [09:43] hi , is it possible to use Amarok without mysql ? [09:43] moljac024, go to System -> Admin.. -> Login Screen [09:43] moljac024: simple research would have shown you that [09:43] i do miss the old one on KDE3 [09:43] werder , after installing hindi, it is still not allow me to choose the input method [09:43] ocean: its for ubountu 10.04 [09:43] moljac024: try losing the attitude and breathe [09:43] server* [09:44] satty: in language settings there's a keyboard input menu, choose ibus. [09:45] hot tip: +s for scale (Expose type stuff) - rebind it to alt-tab and profit! [09:45] Evydder: no, that exact version as you say is not a kernel from the ubuntu repositories [09:46] moljac024: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth [09:46] Hoyt: same, was great [09:46] thank you all for the help [09:47] sorry i flipped out [09:47] Hoyt: there's always Trinity [09:47] but that is too invasive *installation* of packages [09:47] what what should i do ? i need it for vmbox [09:47] moljac024: np man, keep it cool B) [09:47] in my mind installing and activating something should be 2 separate things [09:48] !details | Evydder [09:48] Evydder: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:48] anyone know of an automated way to create and sign x509 cirtificates? [09:48] ActionParsnip, i need to rebuild the intird again, right? [09:49] werder , it is not there , there is not any input method there [09:49] werder: I'm back, but not on linux. Now that I've removed the ppa, only two sessions are listed: Recovery console and User Defined session. Neither one of them work, they both give me the error: "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority" :/ [09:49] mang0: much wtf [09:50] I have a problem with virtualbox it wants linux-headers-2.6.32-042stab039.11, I'm running Ubuntu version 10.04 Server, What should i do? [09:50] moljac024: yes, run: sudo update-initramfs -u [09:50] werder: *sadface* [09:50] ActionParsnip, thanks [09:50] satty: hmmm. that's just how I manage it. [09:50] i'm just curious... my laptop circa 2005 with Ubuntu 11.10 installed is a bit sluggish playing a 240MB 22minute AVI. A Gig of RAM. is this reasonable or poor? [09:50] mang0: you may need to boot to root recovery mode and run: chown -R user:user /home/user [09:51] ill go reboot now to see if i got my splash back [09:51] peace out [09:51] Hey guys, I've a real problem. :( Accidentally I used the monitor rotation extension on gnome-shell and rotated my screen to left. It went okay, but when I turn it to normal, no display was there. Not that I restarted, no display either. :( I looged in to my account from Virtual Console, so is there any command to make X default again? :) xrandr -o normal doesn't work on virtual console [09:52] What should i do? [09:52] mang0: so neither option works? well at least you can boot. I was thinking that you couldn't even do that (for some reason. I guess it's just scars from previous trama [09:52] ActionParsnip: Recovery mode session, you mean? I can't get in to that either! [09:52] Evydder: why do you think it wants that kernel? [09:53] Hey all, I'm trying to boot a debootstrapped ubuntu 11.04 system, but the console login isn't appearing. Init seems to just hang after parsing rc.local. [09:53] Hi! [09:54] :) [09:54] hello [09:54] Hello [09:54] dsdssdsddd: do you have an actual question? [09:54] mang0: have you tried updating now? [09:55] werder: Neiter option works, I just have TTY. Could I re-install without losing my data? I've got an install disk... [09:55] mang0: hold shift at boot, you ca [09:55] can === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [09:55] werder: I can't access the net :/ let me try what ActionParsnip said. brb, going upstairs to linux box [09:55] mang0: k good luck [09:56] ok [09:56] can anyone help me? [09:57] Evydder_: without details, no [09:57] werder: Thanks [09:57] Evydder_: I'm responding, I need answers [09:57] !ask > Evydder_ [09:57] Evydder_, please see my private message [09:57] Evydder_: why do you think it wants that kernel? [09:57] ActionParsnip: I presume I replace all "user" with my username? [09:57] Evydder_: did you compile your own kernel? [09:58] mang0: yes [09:58] Evydder_: first of all run the commands uname -r and lsb_release -sc and give us the output [09:58] try to load windows in a virtual machine [09:58] ActionParsnip: Okay, ty. [09:58] Evydder_: you are referencing a kernelname that is not in the official ubuntu repositories [09:58] Evydder_: first of all run the commands uname -r and lsb_release -sc and give us the output [09:59] uname -r = 2.6.32-042stab039.11 and lucid [09:59] !info linux-image-generic [09:59] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.0.14.16 (oneiric), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) [10:00] !info linux-image-generic lucid [10:00] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.37.43 (lucid), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [10:00] Evydder_: but that kernel -042stab039.11 is not in the ubuntu repositories. How did you install it? [10:00] Evydder_: the official lucid kernel is 2.6.32.37.43 [10:00] It come pre installed on a vps [10:01] Evydder_: ok, in that case, you have to find the matching kernel-headers. That's not something this channel can help you with [10:01] Evydder_: your VPS provider installed a non-standard kernel [10:01] Ocean: SHould i change it then? [10:02] Evydder_: I have no idea why your vps came with that kernel in the first place, so you should be very careful changing it. If you have access to the correct repositories, you *could*, but be careful [10:02] ummm how do it [10:02] ActionParsnip: Which recovery mode do I boot into? the "root" one? [10:03] tp* [10:03] to* [10:03] Evydder_: the command apt-cache search linux-image will show available kernel packages [10:04] ght [10:04] mang0: yes, and you can chown the file [10:04] Evydder_: but there has to be a reason your VPS provider installed that kernel image, replacing it might get you in the situation you can no longer boot/access your VPS! [10:04] ocean: what one should i use? [10:05] i have reinstall the os if need [10:05] ActionParsnip: Okay :) [10:06] Evydder_: latest -server package [10:06] is it true that AMD open sourced their graohics drivers ? [10:06] kk backing the vps frist [10:07] Evydder_: you say you're using virtualbox, which also requires a gui. So you're also running a gui on the vps? [10:07] ocean: i have vnc setup on it as well as ssh [10:08] TA5K: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2338 [10:08] Evydder_: I mean, by default on a -server installation, there is no gui [10:08] i installed it [10:08] ok [10:08] ActionParsnip: Wait, chown the file? I thought you said to run chown -R user:user /home/user, not with /home/user/.ICEauthority ? [10:10] mang0: either is fine [10:10] ActionParsnip: Ah, okay, great. [10:11] Okay so I'm having a pretty major problem with ubuntu right now. [10:11] ok [10:11] what is the problem? [10:11] ocean:bash: latest: command not found [10:11] I ran lbconfig, and soon after all the characters on my screen turned into boxes. [10:11] Every bit of text is now a box [10:12] gry, cant help you, Im just a good user [10:12] I'm on my other OS right now because I can't understand anything in ubuntu anymore [10:12] It works great for me out of the box [10:12] Even the login screen has boxes for characters [10:13] I figured this was the best place as any to turn [10:13] ocean: It carn't find the command [10:13] Though I doubt anyone's come across this problem before [10:13] ActionParsnip: And then reboot? [10:13] Logging out didn't fix it [10:13] Restarting the computer didn't make it go away either [10:13] Evydder_: heh, no I meant run apt-cache search linux-image and pick the latest (probably linux-image-2.6.32-37-server) and use sudo apt-get install to actually install [10:14] Evydder_: or run apt-cache policy linux-image it will suggest what it is going to install [10:14] I am using a great Linux application to broadcast this chat live [10:15] Webcamstudio works perfectly [10:15] linux: you told us that yesterday too. Please don't add offtopic remarks here [10:15] offtopic? so an ubuntu app is off topic? [10:15] linux: general chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic, this is for tech support issues only [10:16] this channel is for support. [10:16] so linux-image-2.6.38-13-generic? [10:16] i dont give a fuck [10:16] its still inux [10:16] Evydder_: I would think, since you say it's a server linux-image-2.6.32-37-server [10:16] well done [10:17] Heyho, when I do 'apt-get update' this Error (http://paste.ubuntu.com/804958/) comes up, how do I fix that? [10:17] package not found [10:17] How can I make him stop searching for them when they don't exist? [10:17] hey guys I'm using 11.10 with radeon, unity dash with active blur and moving windows flickers a bit any ways to increase compiz's performance? [10:17] Evydder_: but it that's what apt-cache policy linux-image suggest, yes you can go ahead and install that. But I *think* that's not a server but a desktop kernel [10:18] applesouce: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65911/how-can-i-fix-a-404-error-using-a-ppa <-- check this link [10:18] applesouce: you added some PPAs, but not their keys [10:18] applesouce: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com E9C74FEEA2098A6E [10:18] applesouce: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0 [10:18] hi all i need some help with ubuntu anyone willing to help me [10:18] hey guys [10:19] chris_ you need to be more specific [10:19] cld i ask one quick question [10:19] chris_: just go ahead and describe your issue detailed in the channel [10:19] dhcp: just ask :) [10:19] well i need help installing wow [10:19] Ocean:out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/804963/ [10:19] Hey all, I'm trying to boot a debootstrapped ubuntu 11.04 system, but the console login isn't appearing. Init seems to just hang after parsing rc.local. [10:19] i want to add default gateway to my dhcp server so my win clients will recieve the internets.. [10:19] wats the syntax and [10:20] the command [10:20] applesouce: if you visit http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/ you will see the PPA doesn't support oneiric, I suggest you remove it [10:20] if that be the right word to use [10:20] Evydder_: oh, but it has 2.6.32.37.43 already installed! [10:20] Does it? [10:20] ActionParsnip: how do I remove those?? [10:20] dhcp: so you want to share your internet connection [10:20] ocean:does it? [10:20] Evydder_: yes, hehe. Read the output carefully [10:20] yes === nitin_ is now known as nitinab [10:20] anyone here know how i install world of warcraft through ubuntu [10:21] it is shred but only for the linux based systems [10:21] ocean:what the go now? [10:21] applesouce: you can delete the relevant file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d or use software centre or even ppa-purge [10:21] what is an xml file used for in /etc/apt/preferences.d [10:21] Evydder_: but since uname -r give other output, it seems you are booted into that other (non-ubuntu) kernel. If you can reboot, you should (during boot) have the GRUB (bootloader) option to pick the 2.6.32.37 kernel to boot [10:21] i dont see the boot [10:22] applesouce: sudo ppa-purge ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable will remove it too [10:22] cause i run a dual boot system win from hdd and pxe for the linux clients [10:22] i.e vinux-wallpapers.xml http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [10:22] ocean: how do i set defaut? [10:23] ActionParsnip: Ok thanks :D [10:23] am i correct in assuming providing a defualt gate way will provide my win clients with the internets [10:25] <_HoochMan_> dhcp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [10:25] ActionParsnip: It didn't work, I still get the same error about ICEauthority. [10:25] ocean: how do i set it up so the 2.6.32.37 to boot to? is there way with a command? [10:26] OCean: OR a file to edit? [10:27] mang0: is it owned by your user now and have the right access? [10:27] Evydder_: erm.. you should be able to change the default boot kernel by editing the DEFAULT= value in /etc/default/grub, but that requires to list all menu entries first, so you know the value (menu entry) to change it to [10:27] Evydder_: you can change the default in /etc/default/grub [10:27] I forgot how to list all entries :( [10:27] Evydder_: you will need to run: sudo update-grub to apply the change [10:27] ActionParsnip: I ran chown -R user:user /home/user/ICEauthority [10:29] GRUB_DEFAULT=0 ummm [10:29] mang0: not sure what the correct ACL is, I don't have the file [10:29] Evydder_: change it to 1 and try that === greentux is now known as zz_greentux [10:30] ActionParsnip: It might be easier for me just to re-install, but I would lose my data, would I not? If I just installed from the 11.04 disc... [10:30] mang0: why do you not have a backup? [10:30] what would one add to the config of dhcp 3 to allow MS WINDOWS to connect to internet [10:30] mang0: easier is to make a new user, then use that...

[10:31] Evydder_: I forgot :( [10:31] have done that im sure its easy with ubuntu 11.10 [10:31] ActionParsnip: I do have a backup, but not a complete backup. All my important data is backed up, but not all the petty things. It would just be a faf. [10:31] but is sharing to a debian server [10:32] this server then shares to rest of network [10:32] which daul boots === sKew is now known as Guest86347 [10:32] when will we can dualboot ipad2 whit ubuntu?

[10:38] savask: for oneiric [10:38] ActionParsnip: I don't know. [10:38] but thank you for responding MonkeyDust [10:40] Evydder_: run grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg [10:41] ActionParsnip, yes :) but i realy wanna install unix system om my ipad2 [10:41] Evydder_: that's the command to list all menu entries, then count your way down to the kernel you want to boot, starting with 0 (that's the default) [10:42] oCean: shift key [10:42] redkiwi: he's not at console [10:42] true or false: banshee just isnt stable [10:42] ?

Is there any way to know if anybody else is using my wifi connection [10:47] maxulti: maybe wireshark can see some stuff [10:48] in the sense give the list of mac addresses that are connected to my network? [10:48] shouldn't need wireshark, iw or iwconfig should provide the information... but i'm unsure how exactly to. [10:49] iptable? [10:49] Evydder_: yes, but from missing grub.cfg and your current kernel, I suspect it's a custom install [10:49] ocean:try to find it? [10:49] maxulti: many routers can see connected mac adresses too [10:50] lol [10:50] Evydder_: again, I have to advise you that, since you're not on a standard ubuntu install, you might break things, and you might not be able to boot the vps again [10:51] maxulti: i'm not sure this is the right command, but try "sudo iw wlan0 station dump" (substitute wlan0 with the right interface if needed) [10:51] sKew^: if you hadn't bought an ipad it may have been possible [10:52] How do I copy a DIR from one location to the other in terminal?

[10:57] I dont know what happened after trying that command, i got disconnected [10:58] maxulti: oh, sorry. wrong command then i guess. it's that i don't have a wireless interface here, so guessing a little [10:58] Evydder_: you really need a configuration that is supported. So contact your VPS provider and ask them to provide a standard ubuntu kernel [10:58] Hey all, I'm trying to boot a debootstrapped ubuntu 11.04 system, but the console login isn't appearing.

My problem is that when I insert my Windows CD and restart the computer it doesn't boot from the CD [11:03] how would go about install ing a virtual machine on it [11:03] ActionParsnip, this is why I am asking. I can't grab the corner. The app has launched on my secondary monitor and hidden the top bar.

[11:05] the boot priority is all fine [11:05] can someone help me? [11:05] paul_uk: surely draggin the window so it is visible would have worked though... [11:05] oke [11:05] how do i reset bios?

[11:20] jokerdino: yup, alpha2 in feb [11:21] lotuspsychje: I tried to install etherape , but coulnt do it as for many versions sone files were missing [11:21] yeah coz i am on the alpha version. [11:22] ActionParsnip: Precise alpha? I'm just installing from the natty disc, and then I'll run "sudo apt-get update " and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and once I'm upgraded to 11.10 I will put my backups in place :) could I go straight from natty to precise? [11:22] mang0: natty is eol in October this year [11:22] mang0: precise == ubuntu 12.04 LTS [11:24] maxulti: did you run etherape as root? [11:24] ok i have lost my mind, how do i install a gui for server using 11.10? [11:24] Ah, I see. ActionParsnip I know natty is eol, which is why I'm going to upgrade to oneiric as soon as I'm finished installing. What I mean is, can I go straight from natty to precise, instead of going through oneiric? [11:25] crazymarine: why didn't you just install the desktop OS? [11:25] lotuspsychje: yes, but I found an alternative grellm [11:25] i think i willtry this and see [11:25] i am going to use it as a fileserver/print server but i am not too familiar with terminal to edit files and save them [11:25] maxulti: can you access your router? [11:25] crazymarine: a nice light DE can be gained with: sudo apt-get install lxde lightdm [11:25] lotuspsychje: yes, [11:26] crazymarine: if you are not familiar with cli then I suggest you install desktop next time [11:26] maxulti:search for connected stations mac adresses in your router [11:27] ActionParsnip: isnt there a lightweight X for server to manage few stuff easier?

I have a "0711:5100 Magic Control Technology Corp." which apparently has been made to work in a linux distribution before with a package called "xserver-xorg-video-tusb" but this doesn't seem to exist anywhere else (e.g. debian or ubuntu) - so maybe it has a new name? [11:35] yes, i ran the whole install line you gave me [11:35] frantic_: cd ~; wget http://www.okawix.com/install/okawix-0.7-current.tar.bz2; tar jxvf ./okawix-0.7-current.tar.bz2; rm ./okawix-0.7-current.tar.bz2 [11:35] crazymarine: then a reboot will give a login screen [11:36] ActionParsnip: it doesnt, it goes to the text, [11:36] (terminal) base login [11:36] crazymarine: try: sudo service lightdm start [11:37] ActionParsnip: it says job is already running: lightdm [11:37] crazymarine: ok try pressing CTRL+ALT+F7, is it there [11:38] crazymarine: you could cut losses and run: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [11:38] crazymarine: you could've made your life a lot easier by installing the desktop OS [11:39] ActionParsnip: i figured there would be too much to change a desktop os into a server os [11:39] crazymarine: you can run server apps on a desktop OS, you just have the X server overhead [11:41] ActionParsnip: probably would have been easier since i spent 4 hours reburning cds to get the server .iso to install correctly without checksum errors [11:47] to delete my rythmebox library and strart over would I just delete the .rhythmbox file in my home folder?

[12:29] it* [12:30] MonkeyDust: same error with my laptop, had to install using usb, but i dont have the usb drive any more. [12:31] crazymarine if the cd gives errors on both systems, i'd say it's due to the cd [12:31] MonkeyDust: i remember when i was installing it on my laptop, someone in here said something about my bios isnt set right or that the installer doesnt read sata drives that well. [12:32] crazymarine there you have it, but i cannot give advice on that [12:34] ah, 'someone' said, it's not a bios error you're getting? [12:34] how can i update wine (preferably using the GUI)?

[13:03] Boreeas: Hit escape while booting. Though normally you should see the Ubuntu logo rather than a black screen. [13:03] its hooked up, but isn't useable [13:03] MonkeyDust: no all i found was gpointing-device-setting [13:04] tellone install that, i think it's what you need [13:05] !nox | Boreeas [13:05] Boreeas: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [13:05] Boreeas: when the black screen shows, press ESC and you can watch the boot [13:05] MonkeyDust: well kind of solves the problem but not in the way i wanted to solve it === sKew is now known as Guest14772 [13:06] Hey wass the packed name for tutchpad?

[13:08] bauernomlett, you shud try Crunch Bang Linux if you have problem whit speed === Guest14772 is now known as sKew^ [13:09] bauernomlett opensuse uses gnome by default, so it'll be about as heavy as ubuntu [13:09] bauernomelett, linux mint!

Version 1.4.1-1ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 65 kB, installed size 256 kB [13:40] theadmin, I'm running chkrootkit and the clam virus thing, do you recommend doing anything else(checking startup programs now) [13:41] MagPulse: clamav will only scan for win viruses [13:41] MagPulse: I dunno, the problem is honestly weird... Never had anything like that (unless you count my mouse randomly stopping working, but that's an Ubuntu bug) [13:41] !info synaptics-dkms [13:41] viktor133: that sounds strange. so if you drag your windows to the right edge of your first screen, they dont appear on the second one?

[13:42] MagPulse: no because linux dont really have vruses [13:42] theadmin, plus everytime I try to view my system logs in log viewer the thing freezes up [13:42] MagPulse: do you have wine installed? [13:42] euhm, apparently, i should have payed more attention, to where my monitors are relative to each other *bit embarresed* [13:43] MagPulse: Meh at the log viewer, browse them directly (go to /var/log/, they're all there) [13:43] Gentoo64, yeah, I think so too, I'm thinking it might be a targeted attack [13:43] doubt it [13:43] robot voice? lol [13:43] viktor133: well thats basically how you have to use it [13:43] sKew^: have you not seen that link? [13:43] theadmin, I tried gedit /var/log didn't work, trying with nautilus [13:43] MagPulse: It's a folder xD [13:44] MagPulse: try less instead :) [13:44] MagPulse: You can't open a folder in a text editor [13:44] theadmin, lol sorry bit of a linux noob [13:44] MagPulse: cat /var/log/messages [13:44] skynet hits ubuntu. [13:44] Gentoo64, thanks [13:44] ActionParsnip, i tryed the .deb file, ubuntu software center got a interral error [13:44] Gentoo64: use less, more readable unless you are Johnny5 [13:44] sKew^: install it in terminal, the output will be useful [13:44] cat works..

[13:45] theadmin, wow I can't read the log file at all no use [13:46] viktor133: i suppose, it can be a bit of a pain when your screens dont have the same resolution [13:46] theadmin, I'm thinking if anything happened it was a bash commandline [13:46] viktor133: spawn, create a window [13:46] MagPulse, use less /var/log/messages [13:46] theadmin, I checked history and I didn't see anything suspicious, is there a log of users that have previously connected to my machine [13:46] dragonkeeper, trying it now [13:46] ActionParsnip, just type sudo ./"filename" ?

[13:50] MagPulse, type in who [13:50] anyone help Ubu please? [13:51] DragonSlay, I see me and my ttys, is there a way to view a history of logged in users?

[13:51] DragonSlay, its k, thanks for your help [13:51] I have a question: suppose I have a usb disk attached to my machine, the kernel assign to it a name under /dev (/dev/sdd; /dev/sdd1). well, then I disconnect my drive from the system, in this condition when I re-plug my disk the kernl assign to it a new mapping under dev for example /dev/sde - sde1.. anyone knows how to do to reassing to it the original mapping? [13:51] that's me [13:52] cant figer out how to get python output into a buffer for use in a glade text view box [13:52] ActionParsnip, do you know where the rhythmbox rc file is? [13:52] ubuntuaddicted: try: sudo updatedb; locate rhtyhmbox.rc [13:52] hail: #python [13:53] thanks jrib i will try there [13:53] ActionParsnip, wasn't sure what the exact config name was, will try. thanks [13:53] giuseppe_: perhaps your forgetting to safely remove it when unplugging it the first time? so that the old device does not disappear? [13:53] MagPulse, found it in google that "last" will display login history [13:53] ActionParsnip, while I have your attention. do you know how to show which process is accessing a module? [13:54] ubuntuaddicted: try: lsof | grep modulename [13:54] ubuntuaddicted try lsmod [13:54] DragonSlay, thanks, I'm trying /var/log/auth.log too, but I can't understand most of that [13:54] that 's true.. but.. in this case there is a way to forse the system to remap my drive to the original name under dev? [13:55] hello [13:56] DragonSlay, hm I only see me... This random espeak thing is freaking me out [13:56] actionparsnip that helped me alot thx [13:56] no grils [13:56] Luis_83 wrong channel [13:56] admin thx [13:56] bahhh [13:56] ActionParsnip, ok, found it using find /home/ubu/ -name rhythmbox [13:57] ActionParsnip, thanks [13:57] this is so mutch work now .... [13:57] ActionParsnip, locate returned nothing :( [13:57] MagPulse, it could be a bug.. [13:57] guys have fun [13:57] bb [13:58] ActionParsnip, ok, thanks for the lsof help. i didn't think kdenlive would've been using raw1394.ko but it is [13:58] DragonSlay, Its one crazy bug lol === Otacon22_ is now known as Otacon22 === hail is now known as hail__ [14:00] ubuntuaddicted: the OS can tell you a lot, Windows can't tell you that level of detail without 3rd party apps [14:00] MagPulse, linux is 100% secure. [14:01] DragonSlay: no OS is 100% secure [14:01] ActionParsnip, oh, you don't need to sell me on Ubuntu. Been using for over 5 years and loving it! [14:01] ubuntuaddicted: :) [14:01] ActionParsnip, just not familar with every single command.......yet lol [14:01] ActionParsnip, but what about Linux ? [14:02] DragonSlay, yes [14:02] DragonSlay: its not 100% secure, the only secure OS is one that's not running [14:02] DragonSlay, I'm pretty confident about linux's security too, there's no widespread viruses for it, and for a system to be compromised it would have to be specifically targed. But that's what I'm worried about. === ulio__ is now known as ulio [14:02] DragonSlay, anything in ubuntu is based on the linux kernel, so any linux distro can do the same thing at it's core [14:03] ActionParsnip, i would say it;s more secure then Windows only because 90% of viral stuff is written to impact windows registry, etc etc [14:03] DragonSlay: Linux isn't even particularly secure, it has a simple permission model, no mandatory access control by default, no proof of correctness for its code... (mind, OS's that have those things are usually very specialized) [14:03] ubuntuaddicted: true, but not 100% [14:03] ActionParsnip, when talking about browser holes, then that's a different story [14:03] ActionParsnip, is my % wrong? lol [14:03] 99% [14:03] sorry, off topic. will stop [14:03] ubuntuaddicted: maybe, its speculative, but its definately not 100% [14:04] According to System Monitor, Xorg is using 632.5MiB of memory, I don't think it's meant to do that, right? :x [14:04] ActionParsnip, oh, i know there's viral stuff written for os x and linux but maybe what, 1% [14:04] Glowball: i'd say no [14:04] ubuntuaddicted: also you can't secure against uneducated users :) [14:04] ThinkT510, of course not [14:04] Glowball: it can do, depends how much memory you have [14:04] ubuntuaddicted: virus resillience is not security [14:04] Glowball, sounds like your xorg has a mem leak [14:04] 4GB, but it's really WAY less after a reboot [14:04] * DragonSlay says thanks guys.. [14:05] Glowball, what ubuntu you using? [14:05] viruses for osx are rather rare, but trojans are common [14:05] 10.10 [14:05] (No Unity for me yet) [14:05] How can I broadcast a window on my desktop to the world? [14:05] How can I broadcast a window on my desktop to the world? [14:05] guys, i was trying to use general terms the average user understands [14:05] Glowball: you can use XFCE in Oneiric and not get Unity.. [14:05] Glowball, you have a memory leak [14:06] I know, but then I still don't have my GNOME desktop [14:06] Glowball, im with you, me no go unity YET [14:06] Glowball: it uses GTK, your gnome apps will run just fine [14:06] I'll keep using 10.10 as long as it's supported, I'll see whatever I'll do afterwards [14:06] 10.04.3 for me [14:06] Glowball: maverick is EOL in April [14:06] qmr: possibly using vnc [14:06] I know [14:06] hmmm maby just make a new usb pendrive and reinstall hole system? [14:06] April is not now :) [14:07] sKew^: does it work in liveCD? [14:07] AlanBell: rather have something where I can give out a public URL, and a certain portion of my desktop is broadcast [14:07] Glowball, my xorg is at 158 and holding. uptime is only around 7 days though [14:07] Glowball, MATE is developed from gnome2. you can try that fot the moment. [14:07] Glowball: its not far away though. I use LXDE and run all the gnome apps you probably use, no unity bar [14:07] ActionParsnip, the tutchpad? [14:07] In Februari, I've got some time on my hands to get a second pc and toy with Unity/Shell/MATE/Cinnamon/GNOME3 fallback/whatever [14:07] evereting work like a sharm in LiveCD mode [14:07] DragonSlay: mate won't be supported here, depends if you like support or not [14:07] sKew^: try a clean install then [14:07] February* (in Dutch it's with an i..) [14:07] ActionParsnip, can you point me to exact website for changes from 10.10 to 11.04 or first unity desktop?

Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [14:09] sKew^: but you have your important data backed up... [14:09] qmr: or perhaps a google hangout or something [14:09] Right, *SOMETHING* just happened, as it fell back down to 50MiB O.o I wonder if it's just System Monitor messing up, as I've seen Firefox doing the same thing earlier today :/ [14:09] ActionParsnip, no:( iam in a new country i just got this computer and [14:09] i will try to make my ipod as a external hdd [14:10] sKew^: USB storage devices exist in many countries [14:10] Glowball: is it causing a problem? [14:10] No, wait. I've got *two* instances of Xorg running in System Monitor. One is using 50MB of memory, the other is still at 630MB [14:10] acmeinc1, sure but iam not ritch :P if you know i got a 4tb server back in norway ect [14:10] ;P [14:10] Glowball, firefox is a hog, try chrome beta [14:10] ubuntuaddicted, firefox 9 is less on memory [14:11] i will try to backup things on USB pens, just need to remove some programs ect [14:11] ubuntuaddicted: Chrome is more resource intensive by design and its lay-out is unusable for me, so I'll just stay with it :) [14:11] with Firefox*, that is [14:11] sKew^: should have installed openssh-server, port forwarded port 22 and you have a remote SFTP server [14:11] DragonSlay, ok [14:11] i know but slow wifi ;P [14:11] Glowball, ok, so your xorg issue went from 600+ mb of memory to 50? [14:11] Glowball: I use the daily build on mid to low end systems, runs well [14:12] clc [14:12] ubuntuaddicted: No, I saw it wrong. Apparently there are two instances of Xorg in System Monitor. One of them is using 50MB, the other is still using 630MB... [14:12] uh, sorry about that [14:12] Glowball, ouch [14:12] Right click > Memory Maps doesn't show anything [14:12] Glowball, very weird, what does top say? [14:12] Glowball: can you do ps aux |grep X [14:12] Glowball, use xrestop to find out which app abuses most X memory [14:13] oh [14:13] AlanBell: http://pastebin.com/83PdScyy [14:13] are there any security related channels in irc?

[14:54] and I believe there is a format option [14:54] ubuntu 11.10 [14:54] I just like gparted cuz it has many options [14:54] i send the packages to .themes now what [14:55] i dont see the theme in advance settings [14:55] is there another trick [14:55] http://i.imgur.com/oG6GE.png I can't click the radio buttons :/ [14:55] Sveiki, mneri!

[15:05] i've never really used unity before but my little sister said she liked it so i installed it on her laptop. she left her laptop on but not plugged in so it shutdown (i think during an update) and when she booted it up almost nothing had icons anymore and it had a really 90s looking gtk theme. since i'm not a unity user i didn't know where to set the gtk and icon theme, can anyone help?

[15:24] why? [15:24] Some passwords just take too long to crack [15:24] i mean, it outputs to the console for each password it tried. this is going to slow things down massively.

For some strange reason I can't login to the LinuxMint server, but, since that distro is based in Ubuntu, I'll ask here. I backed up all my files with mintBackup 2.0.7 and now I am restoring my files to a new fresh intall of Mint12, but Why is the restored folders have root permissions? Does that means I need to chmod all of them? [15:41] osmodivs: Sorry, Mint is not supported here... But yes, likely so. mintbackup runs as root for some weird reason. [15:41] osmodivs: Any further questions should be asked in irc.spotchat.org/linuxmint-help [15:41] osmodivs: sudo chown (yourusername) * [15:41] andycc: -R [15:41] Sorry, chown --recursive === Nathan_ is now known as Guest72490 [15:42] Repeating: I need help uninstalling ITALC completely. Everytime I try to I still get error libItalcCore.so missing when trying to run ITALC. This started after attempting to install from source (it didn't apparently give any build errors though) [15:42] andycc: chown OR chmod ? [15:42] osmodivs: chown (change owner) [15:42] openSSO: If you installed from source, search for uninstall instructions on their site, we can't really help with that [15:43] theadmin: I did... it did not work [15:43] osmodivs: sudo chown -R your_user:your_group /path/to/blah/* [15:43] what is a good WLAN Wi-Fi Mini PCI Card for my Dell lappy that won't have a driver issue? [15:44] ok, Yhx [15:44] How do I stop ntpd? [15:44] ...are there any specific directories I can completely remove that would contain anything ITALC that may be left on the system after uninstallation? [15:44] meco: sudo service stop ntpd [15:44] is there any way by i can restore unity? [15:44] openSSO: No, not really, see, Linux places stuff according to the FHS law. That is, binaries under /usr/bin, configs under /etc, and so on -- we have no "Program Files" nor directories for specific programs. [15:45] openSSO: unless you installed it in /opt/italc or something. [15:45] how can i config ufw to allow connections from my LAN internal network ? it is accepting outstide connections just not internal [15:45] i upgraded to unity 5.0 and now i downgraded and it crashed [15:45] left only with gnome [15:45] openSSO: find / -iname '*italc*' -print 2>/dev/null # might be of help. [15:45] Hi all. Getting ready to install Ubuntu on my laptop. Should I create partitions for /home and /boot? Or just create a / partition and a swap partition? [15:46] andycc: stop: unrecognized service [15:46] hansg01: The newer unity probably left some configuration in your homedir that is not compatible with the older version. [15:46] xptical: I suggest you use separate partitions for / and /home. And swap, of course. [15:46] xptical: A separate /boot nowadays is hardly ever needed. You may *wish* to create a separate home for further reinstalls. [15:47] theadmin: Really? I understand there is no program files on Linux... but directories get left behind almost all the time even after purging the program. This has caused problems before with other programs I tried to reinstall... and finding and removing those directories tend to do the trick. I cannot find any directories left behind by italc except a .desktop file [15:47] meco: oh, sorry. sudo service ntpd stop [15:47] openSSO: Well might be some stuff in /etc and any files in your home directory/directories [15:48] openSSO: I'm not too familiar with iTALC [15:48] andycc: ntpd: unrecognized service [15:48] openSSO: the lack of a program files dir is why package management was invented. [15:48] geirha: one more thing i also ran apt-get autoremove after upgrading to unity 5.0 so may be i lost some imp components of unity 4 and i m jst left with gnome 3? [15:48] How big should / be? I have a 400gb hdd. [15:48] hi guys, what directories are not advisable to copy from one server on say ubuntu 11.04 to another server running 11.04? The first server is in ec2 and the 2nd server will be on vmware if that makes a difference..? [15:48] theadmin: I'll check /etc hang on... I might go ahead and try once again to reinstall italc [15:49] meco: well, try with "ntp" then. I never tried to meddle with ntpd myself. [15:49] xptical: I suggest you do about 30-40GB for / and rest for /home, about 2GB for swap [15:49] hansg01: No, the reinstall of unity 4 should've sorted out anything like that. [15:49] andycc: ntp: unrecognized service [15:49] hansg01: Try creating a new user on your system, then log in with that user and see if unity works. [15:50] Is there a way of telling apt-get to resolve dependencies during an install? [15:50] geirha: okay [15:51] Auriga: Huh?... It *always* does that, this isn't slackpkg or something [15:51] Auriga: apt-get already does that, it's pretty much why it exists. [15:51] theadmin, andycc Right now it's not doing that... [15:51] Auriga: any specifics? What package are you trying to install? [15:52] andycc, qtsixa [15:52] andycc, It's for a ps3 controller,. [15:52] !info qtsixa [15:52] Package qtsixa does not exist in oneiric [15:52] Auriga: How is it "not doing it", exactly? [15:53] Auriga: so it's not in the official ubuntu repositories [15:53] Auriga: Sounds like that package fails to list its dependancies. Whoever created that package did a sloppy job. [15:53] Error comes back saying it needs python-qt4 [15:53] Auriga: This package is not from official repos, so APT knows *nothing* about it. How is it supposed to look dependencies up?... I mean, if it's in a PPA or something it might, though. [15:53] Auriga: contact the maintainers of that package [15:53] Auriga: well, install python-qt4 then? [15:54] Which in turn brings more depends on lists... [15:54] Auriga: of course, since it's not in the official repositories [15:54] andycc, Yeah I tried that... [15:54] Auriga: and apt is not resolving the dependencies of python-qt4? [15:55] andycc, No. [15:55] Auriga: not sure what to say then. Try using aptitude instead of apt-get. [15:55] I'm looking through aynaptic right now.. [15:55] anyone had any problems with 12.04 and Ipv6? Im not seeing any router advertisements from my router, yet both my galaxy nexus and this very laptop when it was running centos6 see them fine... its odd because I can ping the router with using its link-local address. [15:56] tsurc: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (still alpha). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [15:57] Good call on aptitude... [15:57] how i can reinstall bootloader from win7? to boot ubuntu again [15:57] Are there any good proxy checkers for Ubuntu, so i can paste a large file of proxys and test if they are live or not [15:58] oCean, might give 11.10 a try, shame though because I am kinda getting used to unity (Ive been a centos user fro about 3 years) [15:58] looking for a mini pci wireless card for my Dell Latitude C610 running Xubuntu, any suggestions?

[16:30] though that'd border on insanity [16:30] Seveas: so that's what you use? [16:30] LjL, nope, I use simple raid 1+0 or raid 5 with local disks [16:30] ummm..... but you say i can cluster them and use both as a server? [16:30] Glacia, LjL https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Clustering [16:30] or raid 6 on the netapp [16:30] Hi. Every time I start up, Firefox switches to the Australian English dictionary, and I'm not sure what dictionary other Ubuntu programs use. Is there a system-wide reason for this or is this something contained in Firefox? Thanks. [16:31] LjL, I may be crazy, but work isn't :) [16:31] i love sparking conversations lol [16:32] Simple command.. how do i see how much diskspace ive used.. ive totally forgotten [16:32] Hello!

[16:33] Seveas: cheers mate [16:33] theadmin, bad idea to copy /proc for clone? [16:34] Masters, I think someone wrote an addon to do just that, but I don't know much about it. Try googling 'unity addon sidebar bottom' === DeAD is now known as Guest7968 [16:34] cool thanks [16:34] bubuz, yes. /proc /sys and /dev shouldn't be copied [16:34] now i know this noobish but what can i do with my own server? im really just trying to find effective neat things to do with my old computer instead of trashing them [16:34] and /boot i take it [16:34] this is^ [16:34] thx Seveas [16:34] Masters: omgubuntu has a how to [16:34] I found it :) [16:34] thanks [16:34] Masters: there is a 3rd party ppa, it may break some things [16:34] Glacia: well that entirely depends on what you need, maybe ask in #ubuntu-offtopic though as it's not really support. i'll tell you what i do with mine. [16:35] bubuz, /boot can be copied just fine [16:35] gah everyone just came in [16:35] I gotta go [16:35] I'll come back when I get time [16:35] thanks for the info [16:35] from a 11.04 instance in ec2 to a vmware install on vsphere? [16:35] bubuz: No, no need to copy the kernel over, install the appropriate one yourself. [16:36] bubuz: Most of the time the "generic" kernel installed by default will work though [16:36] Is there anyway i cant stop users without root access from being able to use the comment 'df' ? [16:37] ok [16:37] thx theadmin [16:37] UniTe: sudo chmod a-x $(which df) [16:38] LjL: once burned it works, quite odd, tx for help [16:38] UniTe: you can run: sudo chown 700 /bin/df as the file is owned by root:root [16:38] UniTe: it will mean the only person with any access at all is root [16:38] ActionParsnip, you mean chmod :P [16:38] d'oh [16:38] UniTe: chmod, not chown [16:38] Bah, chown, chmod... Always mess the two up :D [16:38] ActionParsnip: ;p np [16:38] theadmin: cheers [16:39] UniTe: np [16:39] ActionParsnip, but that only disables the 'df' command, not the syscalls that do the actual work. Any user can copy over his own 'df' and run it [16:39] Seveas: cheers dude [16:39] what could cause vertical stripes when using a RCA to USB converter? [16:39] Seveas: surely as it isn't writable by user, it won't be possible? [16:39] they are different shades of grey [16:39] ActionParsnip: Sure will be [16:39] ActionParsnip: Add something like ~/.bin as the first folder in $PATH [16:40] ActionParsnip: Done :D [16:40] ActionParsnip, scp /bin/df some.server:/home/seveas/bin/df ; ssh some.server; /home/seveas/bin/df [16:40] theadmin: true [16:40] Seveas: gotcha [16:40] Hi! Long shot, but does anyone know if Google are planning to ever update MapView to use the vector-based rendering system that has been in gmaps for ages, rather than the old tile-based raster system it currently uses (as used in the old gmaps)? [16:40] any assistance? [16:40] Seveas: same difference to theadmin's solution [16:40] If you really want only root to be able to see filesystem sizes, you're gonna have to mess around with apparmor (or selinux) and get the statfs syscall disabled. [16:41] Timmmm: Uhh... Unrelated to Ubuntu [16:41] theadmin: and if i wanted to stop to be able to use that command again? [16:41] theadmin: Ooops sorry wrong channel! [16:41] UniTe: sudo chmod a+x $(which df) [16:41] UniTe: Err, actually, that won't work anymore since df won't be executable, but: sudo chmod a+x /bin/df [16:42] theadmin: ok thanks heaps!

[16:44] meco, 'ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com' [16:45] Seveas: Nope, same [16:45] theadmin: ill admit your the only person ive actually been able to take information in from.. you explained it pretty damn clear! thanks mate [16:46] meco, then someone may be blocking udp port 123 incoming or outgoing [16:46] UniTe: np :D [16:46] Seveas: Is there any way I can check that out? [16:46] theadmin: did you want to write me a BASH basics book too? ;p i kid [16:47] meco, on your local computer you can do sudo iptables -L -v -n.

[16:51] linx = linux [16:51] sorry slowly slowly I am a new user :) [16:51] micahcavaleri, even if that were possible, you don't want that as harddisk is far too slow to server as graphics memory. [16:51] meco: then that points even further to what Seveas said, port 123 being blocked... [16:52] what do you mean OS ? [16:52] meco: That's odd, really... Probably something blocking the NTP port then indeed. Check your router config? [16:52] Is my vhost to gay? :d [16:52] pc_: Ubuntu is an OS. Windows is an OS. OS means operating system.

[16:53] Srki, it does make me want to stab you with a garlic-dipped wooden stake though :) [16:53] so what i have to do ?? [16:53] micahcavaleri, I don't think it is possible [16:53] seveas [16:53] meco: Probably so, if you *have* a router. Try visiting http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 -- do you get anything on either of those?

I was asking how to set a read/write for a specific folder, however that just won't fix the problem. Can someone tell me how to give myself (the user) write permissions to all system folders? [17:27] LjL: But where would that firewall be? Surely not on this pc since I've installed Ubuntu on it and have never set up any firewalling. [17:27] kingisher64, lol [17:27] kingisher64: You can't do that... Also that's stupid. [17:27] ActionParsnip, you're insane! You're so helpful to everyone, and quickly too <3 lol [17:27] meco, and you want me to send UDP on port 123? [17:27] kingisher64: You don't want to own all folders. Run this command to own certain ones: sudo chown yourusername /folder [17:27] mang0: i just websearch, literally that's all I do.... [17:27] Gentoo64: Ok so I did that and exited [17:27] zap0: If that would work, sure... [17:28] meco: i wouldn't know, actually i'm not even sure whether Ubuntu has a firewall enabled by default as of late. try typing "sudo ufw status" [17:28] ActionParsnip, Well you're still helpful :P [17:28] meco, how will you know when its arrived? have you a listen socket setup? [17:28] Shodowjedi01, paste to this site http://dpaste.com/ [17:28] kingisher64, sudo gives you permission [17:28] mang0: www.duckduckgo.com I type some stuff and peope get stuff, seems only I can do this some days [17:28] :PP [17:28] I am not able to boot into ubuntu, i am getting the following error "nfsmount: need a path" How do i fix this error?

I can start up ntp [17:28] Gentoo64: I ran those commands but it says Active and then default: deny(incoming), allow(outgoing) [17:28] kingisher64, you might as well enable root pass and login as root [17:28] I think I just missed a couple steps and I don't want to take up any more of your time [17:29] Gentoo64: thanks for your help! [17:29] alaing, thats normal [17:29] meco, i can't waste any more time; you appear to have a very large gap in your understanding of what UDP is. [17:29] alaing, means its blocking all ports, you need sudo ufw allow port [17:29] jutnux - you are right i don't want to own all folders (my frustration said I want ALL). Realistically i just want to have the ability to set permissions for a specific folder. [17:29] kingisher64: You do, just sudo chmod blah blah [17:30] zap0: I sure wouldn't want you to waste any time on me. Your interest is appreciated. [17:30] kingisher64: If you want your user account to own a folder, type into terminal: sudo chown yourusername /home/yourusername [17:30] Gentoo64: i want to deny all incoming except if they are internal machines or the router using specific ports. how do i do that? sorry I'm from a windows background [17:30] sigh [17:30] Folders in root should be accessible by root only, kingisher64. [17:30] <|Anthony|> i thought ubuntu enabled the firewall by default [17:30] meco, if you haven't a plan, how will you know if anything succeeded? you are i'll prepared for a test.

[17:31] Gentoo64: Which is why you chown your home user dir and have everything else set to root ownership. [17:31] <|Anthony|> glad i have a firewall infront of everything here [17:31] zap0: I suggest you not waste any more time on an ignoramus like myself.

[18:30] donsd, there's app called screenshot [18:30] I have 30gb free but disk space is at a premium on my netbook [18:30] ZoFrex: The system and apps by itself should take about 4GB, the rest is up to you. [18:30] When running these commands, http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=fByE0zai Wouldn't this just separate home directory from the entire filesystem? I'm trying to avoid this as I like "/home" and "/" to be in the same partition.

[18:31] any recommodations whcih packages i need to reinstall after pruging FGLRX to get my intel grafics back ? [18:32] varikonniemi: Ubuntu TV [18:33] anyone have a trouble shootting guide for donald duck microphones on google voice and skype? 11.10 version [18:33] also on linux mint so it seems to be a linux issue [18:33] auronandace> How do I send the png file?

[18:34] escott: This: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=az73XPT4 [18:35] i heard that ubuntu 12.04 would get a whole new visual look, is it the unity 5.0 or is that announcement coming? [18:35] The visuals will stay the same, however you will be able to tweak more of it [18:36] varikonniemi: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04, but so far unity 5 looks the same to me visually [18:36] donsd: post it on imagebin.org and send us a link [18:36] any idea how to undo fglrx driver on a hzbrid sandy bridge system ? [18:36] what is the best way on ubuntu to encode an iphone compatible video? i tried some mencoder combinations but the iphone still seems to hate them [18:37] hi everyone. [18:37] BLZbubba: there is no single best solution for anything [18:37] ok how about any solution that works [18:37] Thanks. I will note for later. I have other problems now. :) [18:37] Auk, yes that would create three lvm volumes and one for /home [18:37] can the dd command be used to "copy" an image to a partition (like /dev/sdb1), instead of a device (like /dev/sdb)? [18:38] rigved, yes [18:38] So, I'm looking to getting into developing ontop of ubuntu, where do I start? [18:38] escott: ok. thanks! [18:38] escott: and swap isn't necessary right? I only want what's necessary [18:38] BLZbubba: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding [18:39] Auk, well lvm isnt strictly speaking necessary, and swap isnt necessary if you have enough ram and arent worried about the oom killer [18:39] What got me confused are the switches used to make those partitions, and when I google on the differences between the switches, it only confused me more. [18:39] anyone mind helping me figure out why my touchpad keeps disabling itself? [18:39] oom killer? o_O [18:40] escott: just to be sure, i want to create a bootable usb stick. but i do not want the live image to use the whole usb. i will be using the remaining space for persistence. [18:40] napperjabber_: what language? [18:40] The -l and -L swtiches specifically. [18:40] BLZbubba: wget http://web.mit.edu/~jdong/www/pypodconv/pypodconv [18:40] BLZbubba: tried that script from the ipod encoding page? [18:40] jayson_r: thinking c, c++, but i'm fluent in python [18:40] escott: i will be using dd to copy the image to the partition instead of the device [18:40] Auk, it creates a swap partition of whatever size. then a root of 25000 megs, and then all the remaining free space in the lvm partition is given to /home [18:41] for c and c++ 'apt-get install build-essential' would get you the basics installed [18:41] rigved, there are lots of weird things about usb boot. you should verify that your system can in fact boot what you are proposing [18:41] Yea, but I do not see why the author couldn't just do this: sudo lvcreate -L 100%FREE -n home ubuntu. INSTEAD of: sudo lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n home ubuntu [18:42] napperjabber_: outside of that, google is your friend - there is a lot of stuff on blogs out there for specific languages/environments [18:42] Auk, see the man page. -l and -L are different. for a normal home system I would not recommend skipping the swap [18:42] Hy)I(eH MIXXX [18:42] escott: i have done this with a backtrack image. but the dd command was used there. experimenting! [18:42] jayson_r: thank you sir [18:43] napperjabber_: glad to help - hope that gets you started at least :-) [18:43] escott: Yea I saw the man page, but that confused me further. :S [18:43] jayson_r: when it's installed, where are the help docs stored? /usr/share? [18:44] Auk, its the correct usage of the switches for that layout. -L can only work in sizes like kilobytes, megabytes etc [18:44] napperjabber_: ha, not really sure - never went looking for them :-/ [18:44] Alrighties. [18:44] Thanks escott. [18:45] jayson_r: haha, I guess I should do a linux from scratch build then :P [18:45] but yeah, the package list is in /usr/share/build-essential [18:45] Hello, how can i disable/hide all gnome panels with ubuntu 11.10 please ? [18:45] napperjabber_: i wouldn't go that far, unless you really want to. if development is your goal, Ubuntu is as good as any distro (or LFS for that matter) [18:45] how can i remove fglrx from xorg ? every package is alreadz purged [18:46] hi i'm getting "Incomplete multi-sector transfer" errors in 10.10 and it keeps freezing after a few hours [18:46] napperjabber_: most of my dev stuff on Ubuntu is hacking on Ruby on Rails [18:46] is there something wrong with nvidia fake raid set drivers that could be causing this? [18:46] napperjabber_: i'm also a C#/F# dev, so I spent most of my time developing on a Win7 box actually [18:47] jayson_r: ah, noted, I'm a web dude originally, but now I'm starting to think about how to build standalone software that I can decouple from my apps [18:48] sylvie_: set the unity panel to hide and set the margin to show as small as possible and the time out really long [18:49] #search.pl [18:49] sylvie_: why not just use a different desktop like XFCE which seems more suited to your use.. [18:50] MIX GAME HADA [18:50] CyFus, those fake raid systems have to be reverse engineered. you would have better results with mdadm [18:50] DAYTE MIX [18:50] AYYY [18:50] MIXMIXMIX [18:50] ActionParsnip, and how i hide unity panel ? (i use gnome classic, with a menu bar on top, an a task bar on bottom of screen... But i only want cairo-dock to be visible) [18:50] jayson_r: I kind of need to get down and dirty with the inner os workings, it's getting to a point weher I just want to have socket connections and only user http to server up pages rather thene raw data. with the advent of gevent, I've wondered how hard it is to make my own app in c/c++ that implments the http protocol on my own. It's more of an educational exorcise. I just picked up the book on unix sockets to get me started [18:51] 6JI9I [18:51] jayson_r: thanks again for the direction!

Is there any way to install ubuntu in such a way that I will not require to reinstall drivers every time I boot? [18:52] napperjabber_: easier than LFS, but will still teach you TONS [18:52] possibly with a USB? [18:52] sylvie_: right click the panel -> properties and you can set it to hide, you can also remove the bottom panel [18:52] throstur: you can install it *to* a USB [18:53] ActionParsnip: that script is from 2007 and ffmpeg arguments seem to have completely changed since then [18:53] Can anyone help me with PXE boot setup pls [18:53] ActionParsnip, right clic does nothing :( [18:53] LjL: and would that install the drivers to the USB and such? [18:53] so that next boot would be the same as in last halt? [18:53] ActionParsnip, except on menu, it opens the menu manager, and at the very left of the tesk bar (for grouping settings) but nothing to hide them :( [18:54] throstur: yeah it would install everything to the USB. it's done as if you were installing on an HD. just select manual partitioning when installing, and direct the root partition to the USB device.

How do I update unity to get foobar into the launchers? [19:32] nevermind, it did that by itself [19:32] !ubuntu > zombiethoughts [19:32] zombiethoughts, please see my private message [19:33] mang0, you can install it alongside all the other releases I believe, not sure about alongside of kubuntu though. [19:34] urlin2u, can I not just install the window manager like I did when I tried xfce? [19:34] mang0, thats what I meant yes. [19:34] mang0: "lxde" is what you want. [19:34] mang0: you can install KDE and Xfce and Gnome and lxde if you want to [19:34] mang0: just choose it at the display manager [19:34] mang0: Also, that's called a Desktop Environment. A window manager is the thing which draws window borders. [19:34] *at the login screen [19:34] darin: display manager = login screen [19:35] darin: Same stuff [19:35] orly [19:35] theadmin, Ah, that's what I meant [19:35] darin: yarly. [19:35] urlin2u: I'm having horrible trouble, the USB doesn't seem to be able to write as ext4! [19:35] throstur: you could use dd [19:36] darin: what should I type? [19:36] *sigh* urlin2u: I don't like how lubuntu looks :( [19:36] * mang0 shakes fist at old hardware [19:37] ubuntu looks slick [19:37] dd uf=/path/to/ubuntu/image of=/media/USB4gb [19:37] nutties: but lubuntu looks like Win 95 to some people [19:37] dd uf=/path/to/ubuntu/image of=/media/USB4gb bs=1M [19:37] mang0: maybe you can find a theme you like [19:37] ... the ubuntu image is in my windows user folder ='( [19:37] mang0: What about XFCE? It's pretty great and customizable but very lightweight nonetheless. See http://xfce.org and http://xubuntu.org [19:37] throstur, can you take a screenshot of gparted there is a screenshot apppor hit the prtsc to get one put it here. http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add give us the http.

[19:38] greengurl: install it via apt-get maybe? [19:38] mang0: None, it's a bug (that they both appear) [19:38] theadmin, Yeah, I noticed that ;) I like bloat hehe [19:38] I do not have internet access on ubuntu, firmware... that's why I'm installing TO a usb instead of live [19:39] theadmin, just a shame my computer is too slow to have a lot of bloat [19:39] anyone in here very familiar with DHT? [19:39] gotta change this nick suffix [19:39] systemclient - yes, just don't know which folder .. should I run it in root? [19:39] ubuntu = poor choice if you dont have internet [19:39] try OpenSUSE, sorry [19:39] some reason ubuntu isn't reconizing my laptop graphics card/monitor [19:39] mang0: Can you pm me? I'll try to find the right distro for you (it's considered offtopic here) [19:39] throstur, you have the usb still mounted, and can't install to it? [19:40] darin: Arch = the worst choice for no internet! [19:40] when I look in monitors it says unknown any ideas on how I can fix this [19:40] node_delete($record->nid); is soo slow, is there a faster way to delete nodes? [19:40] theadmin: Sure. [19:40] im running ubuntu 10.04 [19:40] mang0: havent used SUSE since 2005 [19:40] ubuntu does reminisce a bit - '95 mmm [19:40] urlin2u: i'm running ubuntu on 8gb usb and trying to format the 4gb usb but I have problems [19:40] thats harsh [19:41] darin: I haven't used SUSE at all! [19:41] urlin2u: I'm able to set it to "unformatted" but it still looks like it hasn't changed, in the file viewer it looks like it's still called ARCH_2011 [19:41] Hello [19:42] momiji dream [19:42] throstur, you see the green check mark in gparted to run. [19:42] should I run apt-get install postfix right in my drupal folder or on the root? [19:42] sexy desktop [19:42] greengurl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [19:42] It seems I have multiple ftp servers installed in my server, but I don't know which servers so I can't uninstall them.

[19:43] super .. thanks so much! :) [19:43] urlin2u, : I don't know [19:43] slickz: every time a new kernel is added, a new entry is created, maybe it's that? [19:43] slickz, ker4nels? [19:43] I've never added kernels.... I do do updates? [19:43] btw, how can i skip that GRUB loader? [19:43] do the updates add kernels? [19:43] slickz: yes [19:43] slickz: you can remove the old ones though [19:43] slickz, yes [19:43] so how do I get rid of the mess? [19:43] urlin2u: that green check mark is exactly what I've been using [19:44] darin, you have more then 1 OSD? [19:44] OS [19:44] slickz: try seeing how many you have installed, by doing "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" [19:44] anyone¿? [19:44] throstur, post the screenshot of gparted. [19:44] how?? I don't have internet on ubuntu urlin2u [19:44] greengurl: apt does not care of your directory, the install paths are in the package [19:44] urlin2u: yes. wubi bootloader THEN grub bootloader [19:44] LjL: 5 [19:44] sorry, 6 [19:45] darin, you can't avoid that grub, safely at least. [19:45] slickz: then you can use apt-get to remove the one prior to the latest version. if you pastebin the whole output i can tell you which ones to remove [19:45] urlin2u: thx [19:45] urlin2u: they appear to be in ascending order [19:45] systemclient: thanks ... I will give it a whirl :) [19:45] urlin2u: in Appling pending orperations, it says 0 of 1 operations completed, the one that failed is create new ext4 file system and mxfs.ext4 says that sdc1 is in use by the system... how do I "unuse" it?? [19:46] unmount the 4gb usb drive [19:46] can't image it if it's mounted [19:46] hi [19:46] throstur, the problem here is trying to extrapolate what us actually going on, since your a little new at this it is hard to tell what is actually happening. [19:46] darin: it says UNABLE TO UNMOUNT ARCH_201108 [19:46] throstur: what are you trying to do? [19:47] throstur, you sure your trying to change the corrct usb? [19:47] any way to remove windows from a wubi dual boot while keeping Ubuntu? [19:48] i.e. turn dual boot into single boot [19:48] darin, no but you can move the wubi to a partition, then remove windows. [19:48] urlin2u, even though I'm removing them, they show up on the dpkg list, wtf? [19:48] chaospsychex: I have 2 usb drives, on USB drive 1 which is 8 gbs I'm running ubuntu livecd, on usb 2 which is 4gb I had previously installed ARCHlinux from it and now, trying to format the 4GB so that I can run livecd off the 4GB and install ubuntu TO the 8GB so that when I install drivers to ubuntu they will stick. I've run out of partitions on C so I can not use my hard drive for ubuntu. [19:49] urlin2u: because wubi is actually inside the NTFS filesystem? [19:49] darin, yes it is a file [19:49] slickz, how are you removing them? [19:49] URL for instructions? [19:49] urlin2u, sudo apt-get remove linux-blah [19:50] actually, it's changing from ii to rc on the left [19:50] what does that mean?

[19:50] I was able to unmount when I stopped gparted first, I think it's done... [19:50] slickz: that you've uninstalled it [19:50] ok [19:51] thanks guys, I'm good now ;) [19:51] slickz: but make sure there is at least one left! [19:51] slickz, there are 3 packages with every kernel, as well you have to run a update-grub to get them out of the grub menu after removal. [19:51] thx [19:51] LjL, : there are two [19:52] thanks guys, I'll go see how it went ;) [19:52] hello, If i had a g++ package that was not installed correctly... coud it explain some of my crah in program i'm experiencing lately ?

[19:59] hello [20:00] I want to install Safari on Ubuntu 11.10. t hanks a lot tutorial [20:00] jack71: are you sure that is possible? I think that would be mac only … [20:00] jack71: what is wrong with Konqueror, Rekonq or Chromium-Browser? [20:01] jack71: not possible i don't think, but like systemclient said why not chrome or just regular webkit [20:01] jack71: they did a windows version, maybe that would work in wine (don't know why you want safari over the other browsers though) [20:01] ? [20:02] when I install ubuntu *to* a USB, what should I select as mount point? [20:02] openssh-server & client installed , /etc/ssh/sshd_config configured and still refuses connection with permission denied ... [20:04] I have new user, have broadcom 4312 wireless card, how to install firmware? [20:04] .net [20:04] with firefox and chromium occasionally entering addresses on the bar, the page it opened late [20:04] with firefox and chromium occasionally entering addresses on the bar, the page it opened late [20:05] late how? [20:05] jack71: and you think safari will open quicker? [20:05] should I have any swap space when I install on a 8GB USB? I have 8GB ram so it seems redundant... [20:05] jack71: tried opera? [20:05] throstur: do you intend to use gimp or hibernate? [20:05] jack71: install it in wine http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=3343 [20:06] throstur: if you want hibernation and suspend to work you will need swap space [20:06] I will probably not do any of that [20:06] auronandace, yes [20:06] throstur: then no it isn't necessary but i'd keep 512mb in case [20:06] I use windows for most graphical usage [20:06] ok aeon-ltd [20:06] When I log in using ftp is possible to be directed to /www/htdocs instead of to /home/username ? [20:07] using the shell browers safari windows windows openings fast [20:07] using the shell browers safari windows windows openings fast [20:08] jack71: shell browsers? === irlx992 is now known as crank1988 [20:08] SAFARI [20:09] jack71: in windows OS? then likely it's a different problem and not browser related [20:09] jack71: how much slower is it? [20:10] okay , that suxord [20:10] openssh-server & client installed , /etc/ssh/sshd_config configured and still refuses connection with permission denied ... [20:11] Has anyone had any luck getting a USB verizon 4g aircard to work with Ubuntu? [20:11] aeon-ltd, to open the pages about 10 seconds [20:12] jack71: is anything else slow or just browsing? [20:12] kop: a little bit more details? Are you connecting to server using password or keys? [20:12] local network with keys [20:12] firefox, chromium--opera is anything else slow [20:13] kop: so on the remote machine, ssh-server is installed and running? [20:13] oCean, correct [20:13] hi , is there a #lubuntu channel? [20:13] yes [20:13] aeon-ltd, firefox, chromium--opera is anything else slow (( using the shell browers safari windows windows openings fast )) [20:13] saleem: yes [20:13] thanks === UniTe is now known as Phenylpropanolam [20:14] #ubuntu-ir [20:14] kop: and you generated rsa or dsa keys using ssh-keygen? And copied them to the server? You can use ssh-copy-id for that === adante_ is now known as adante [20:14] ubuntu-ir [20:14] jack71: anythin else besides browsing? [20:14] ahmad: type /join #ubuntu-ir [20:15] oCean, done I can reach other ip's "from" the target box but any attempt to ssh into the box returns permission denied === Phenylpropanolam is now known as ROXICODONE [20:16] kop: that is why I asked if you copied the keys to your remote machine. That's an important part, also it's important that ssh-server (on remote machine) is not only installed, but also running [20:16] aeon-ltd, no [20:16] jack71: okay i'm gonna be honest i don't know where to start, but if you really want safari, get the .exe and install wine then google for a tutorial or ask in #wine [20:17] kop: you can get more verbose (debuggin) output with ssh when running ssh -vv user@remote === woonille is now known as garthounet [20:17] oCean, ps ax | grep ssh* returns expected [20:18] kop: it might be something with the permissions/ownership on the keys on the remote server. If you transferred the keys using the ssh-copy-id command, that should be ok === noname is now known as Guest93735 [20:19] oCean, debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config [20:19] debug1: Applying options for * [20:19] debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 === ROXICODONE is now known as PSEUDOEPHEDRINE [20:19] I'll repeat : Is it possible that a g++ package that lacked some dependencies installed on my computer could have affected the stability of it ? [20:20] aeon-ltd, I installed Wine, and installed safari and installed adobe flas player 11 === PSEUDOEPHEDRINE is now known as Pseudoephedrine [20:21] jack71: how is it? better? [20:21] does folding cluther up your internet speed? [20:21] Iluvalar, anything is possible , I can affect the stability of my computer simply by opening a terminal ...

[20:23] Chotaz: quick google --> http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardwarecanucks-f-h-team/29485-does-folding-slow-down-internet.html [20:24] Iluvalar, the real answer is leaving open ended "hooks" that do not output to stdout ie: return failure 0 or error 1 , can hang processes [20:25] Iluvalar, like ordering soup and having the waiter NOT tell you they are out of soup [20:26] Iluvalar, taught me to log the output of installation scripts [20:28] kop: actually I was updating from 10.10 to 11.04 ... [20:28] Iluvalar: i always fresh install, upgrades are too much of a hassle, too much could go wrong [20:29] aeon-ltd, http://www.junauza.com/2010/02/installing-and-running-safari-4-on.html [20:29] auronandace: yeah... you might be right [20:31] Iluvalar, backup /home (I keep it on a separate partition ) and any other usr configs (xorg ...) and have at it [20:32] anyone have grub2 configured to boot an iso image? if so could I see your grub.cfg or custom entry? [20:33] kop: aff... I have installe dmy computer myself, but i'm not so much comfortable with that... [20:33] then again I've had our precious ubuntu change , move , delete , append , deprecate , obliterate multiple directories on even a clean install [20:34] Iluvalar, "importing /home directory after clean install" would be a good place to start [20:35] * kop has symlinks all over the laptop because of recent "upgrades" [20:35] kop: what if i install it on my window 7 partition ? [20:36] Iluvalar, umm why ? === bullgard4 is now known as bullgard6 === mersault_ is now known as mersault [20:36] kop: i'd be sure i dont crush anything important in the process [20:37] Iluvalar, to over simplify I push usrland off to a external usb HD and push it back after install [20:38] Iluvalar: you want to use wubi? [20:38] i guess everything i need in on /home or in /var/www [20:38] Iluvalar, the difference in file systems for one thing ... NTFS is NOT EXT3-4 [20:39] ah... your right...

[20:57] echo083: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [20:57] Flannel, prehistorical one ! 8.04 and 9 flavors [20:58] ikonia, tnx for your past hlp and happy new year [20:58] echo083: 8.04 is still supported, so... the regular repositories. [20:58] Is there anyway i can set an IP for a user? So that the user can only use that IP address for connection to IRC? [20:58] kop: I have no memory/idea what you are talking about, but thank you [20:58] Flannel, ohhhh your are right for that but for the 9 LjL gave me the good link [20:58] Pseudoephedrine: the ip address used to connect to irc will be set by your ISP/internet gateway [20:58] * kop is senile anyway so it works [20:59] echo083: If they're all 8.04 flavors, then no, the regular repositories have them too. For non-LTS or whatnot, then yeah, old-releases.

[21:00] Exxon: 1.) tone down the language - if you have to remove letters, don't say the word 2.) read the questions you are being asked and respond. "Are you following a guide to install/setup this printer" [21:00] Pseudoephedrine: IP's are set per device, not per user [21:01] maybe there is a guide that i ahave missed or something [21:02] i am new to the company ; just joined they only have the printer but i read the manual the drivers are of win nt..2000 days.. [21:02] Hi there! I need help upgrading the ATI Catalyst drivers in Maverick. I downloaded the 95MB .run file from AMD, generated the 4 .DEBs, and installed them.

[21:04] MestreLion: in my view you shouldn't be using the ones from amd.com [21:04] by the way, thank you ikonia and mongy for the fast reply [21:04] MestreLion: is there a reason you chose to "upgrade" ? [21:05] ikonia: is there any other way to upgrade the drivers?

[21:07] Flannel, LjL, I forgot to thank you for the answers ! [21:07] ikonia: im not sure it is... but it "looks" like a video issue... ok, thats a lame, non-scientific excuse to upgrade for 3D-accel for flash games :P [21:07] you're welcome [21:07] MestreLion: ok - then I think you've made a mistake if that's your reason for upgrading [21:08] openssh-server & client installed , /etc/ssh/sshd_config configured and still refuses connection with permission denied ... [21:08] why ikonia ? [21:08] is here a ubuntu server channel or can i ask my server problem question here ?

[21:08] MestreLion: because ubuntu puts time and effort into making the drivers they package compatible with the kernel ubuntu uses and additional components, you've just gone over that [21:09] perre`: #ubuntu-server [21:09] kop: you shouldn't need to change sshd_config, what di dyou change [21:09] MestreLion, use that link I gave and you'll be golden. it has instructions on exactly what to do [21:09] like a backport or an official PPA ?

[21:12] Exxon: stop using words like retarded please [21:13] hello [21:13] kop: what command are you using to test ssh [21:13] Hi, I was wondering, when you're doing the installation of ubuntu and you want to make an existing partition smaller you click "add", then it asks for "new partition size", does the new partition size refer to the piece you are removing from the existing partition or does it refer to the piece that is left after removing some of its capacity? [21:14] ikonia, ssh -vv kop@192.168.4.xx this being the target machine [21:14] because it isn't quite clear to me and I'd like to avoid doing the opposite of what I want [21:14] kop: Is the server running? Can you pastebin the output of 'netstat -tulpen' ?

In that case, use « sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator ». "shortcut" is too vague; I don't know what shortcut you refer to [21:23] x-terminal-emulator in the shell works, but not the shortcut [21:24] keyboard shortcut for 'launch terminal' === mang0 is now known as mang0|zzz [21:24] shovell, I use xfce and I use synclient TouchpadOff=1 to turn the touchpad off [21:25] mongy, the touchpad is not recognized correctly would that still work?

[21:59] WhiteOwl-m, you should be familiar with file server for the extensive purpose.. [21:59] wolter, I'm aware of that solution. However, it's not possible due to layout/shared flat room distribution ;) [21:59] DonJuan692006: That looks like you might need a new burner, I'm afraid. It looks to be reporting something wrong with the drive and indicating that burning isn't supported by it. [21:59] what do you mean by that exxon? Or I just google what you just said :D [21:59] Exxon: if you don't start actually helping you will be muted in the channel [21:59] BarkingFish: That's odd...just used the drive a few days ago in Windows to burn several DVD's.

[22:06] somebody an idea? [22:07] JG84: i would 'sudo apt-get install build-essentials' without quotes [22:07] JourneyUndergrou: Says no package exists, I'm on 10.10 if that matters.

I need the 4.6 version it didn't fix the issue unfortunately, thanks though :P [22:11] *:) [22:12] i've got a newb problem. im trying to run a grab (wget) and run a script. as the script executes it asks me for sudo pw. i've set the sudo pw with sudo passwd. but when i run the script it i downloaded it doesnt accept my pw and returns error "ubuntu has no sudo privileges'. any ideas? [22:12] anyway to reset the sound drivers to ubuntu default? [22:12] JG84: i have a link for that, although it does use a lot of terminal work [22:13] amh345: "sudo passwd" doesn't set the sudo passwd. Your user password is the password you give when sudo asks. [22:13] how do i set that pw? [22:13] this is a fresh install [22:13] (from amazons cloud) [22:13] amh345: It's your user password... what you use to log in with. [22:13] JG84: link for how to reset sound drivers?

[22:14] word. thanks [22:14] amh345: You can set your password with 'passwd' [22:14] amh345: But you may be root, I don't know how amazon does things. [22:15] im user ubuntu right now. [22:15] as user ubuntu i cant get the pw. passwd: Authentication token manipulation error im going to have to ask them. [22:15] amh345: I'm sure you're not the first person to run into this, but I don't want to recommend setting a user password because that could defeat the purpose of having a token based log in. [22:16] amh345: yeah, amazon's installs aren't regular Ubuntu installs, they tweak many things, so it's best to ask them. [22:16] i've done this before. but it was ages ago and i cant find my awesome detailed instructions. [22:16] * amh345 details everything. loses notes [22:16] BarkingFish: Turns out that error was generated because of me trying to burn the DVD too fast. I had it set to "Max" burn speed when I got the error. Just tried burning the DVD again and set the burn speed to 8.0x and it's burning fine right now. [22:17] hi all i've got a problem to see my windoz (already installed) after installing ubuntu 10.04.

"sudo useradd -d /home/dan -m dan". lucky if i screw it up i can just launch a new server. heh [22:18] apolyp, have you run sudo update-grub [22:19] amh345, sudo adduser dan is enough [22:19] found it. this was the line sudo passwd dan [22:19] yeah, thanks Mongy [22:20] urlin2u: yes seveal times, but id don't set any win entry... [22:21] apolyp, you remove any partitons from windows? [22:21] ssh-add -l shows 6 keys that I didn't create, and can't be removed with 'ssh-add -D'. Anyone know what those are? [22:21] hi....how can i view .djvu file in okular? [22:22] They cause me problems when I try to log in somewhere, and it tries all those keys first, reaching max failures before finding the correct key. [22:23] DonJuan692006: Thanks for that. I noticed in the paste it indicated the job was dangerous, and also that it issued an "Unsupported command" when you tried to burn, this is what lead me to believe the burner was indicating it couldn't burn.

[22:28] ActionParsnip: it's not really very good form to put sudo inside a script [22:28] philipballew_: location doesn't matter dude [22:28] philipballew_: you till need #!/bin/bash as the top line [22:28] LjL: let me test... [22:29] how do i uninstall Adobe Reader 9 in Terminal [22:29] ActionParsnip, i'm not saying it won't work. but if you put sudo in a script, then you basically won't know in advance whether it'll ask for a password or not. instead, if anything, put a check in the script for whether you're root, and if you're not, fail. [22:29] and i save it as a .sh?

Version 1.3.28-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 13013 kB, installed size 106744 kB [22:49] it's been pretty solid with me [22:50] kk what network card? === andrea is now known as Guest93150 [22:50] graphick card [22:50] kristoffer: the wine ppa has a slightly later build [22:50] :P [22:50] ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa [22:50] kingisher64: sudo apt-get remove lamp-server [22:50] kingisher64: You installed lamp-server with apt-get? or with tasksel? [22:50] iam on theyre web site [22:51] Flannel - with apt-get [22:51] kristoffer: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine1.3 [22:51] Flannel - i ask because i read taskel uninstall doesn't execute cleanly [22:51] kristoffer: you will need TAB and ENTER to accept the license when you get the dialogue [22:52] kk [22:52] ty [22:53] kingisher64: Right. You installed it with apt-get lamp-server^? or without the caret? (I didn't think it was possible without the caret) [22:53] yep it was installed by sudo apt-get lamp-server^ Flannel [22:54] kingisher64: Alright, I feel better now :) This page includes a bunch of packages for you to remove: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Starting_over:_How_to_remove_the_LAMP_stack [22:54] kingisher64: Except, I don't like that it tells you to manually delete /etc/apache2, that's wrong (don't do it) [22:55] kingisher64: I would purge them insead of remove them though. [22:55] Flannel - i only want to uninstall it because i can't get virtual hosts working. I don't suppose you know how to get that working? [22:55] kingisher64: Er... it's just apache, virtual hosts aren't difficult to get working. What are you trying to do, and what isn't working? [22:56] Flannel - i thought that. It really shouldn't be, however I keep getting a forbidden 403 notice on the relevant host. I was following this tut: http://survivethedeepend.com/zendframeworkbook/en/1.0/creating.a.local.domain.using.apache.virtual.hosts#zfbook.creating.a.local.domain.using.apache.virtual.hosts.configuring.local.hosts.file [22:56] I just reinstalled 11.10 on my desktop and when I login, the screen flashes then it kicks me back to the login screen. I setup the drive as encrypted LVM and encrypted my home drive. Whenever I login via a virtual console(ctrl+alt+f1), I am able to login to my account with no issues. It mounts the encrypted file system and I can read/write. Syslog shows a kernel message "Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header reagion or xattr region" whenever I t [22:57] kingisher64: Look in the apache error log for additional insight into why its 403ing [22:59] Jokn, I don't know what would happen if you encrypted your whole drive and also chose to encrypt your home, as your whole drive being encrypted is enough that you should not choose to encrypt your home [23:00] Yea, I thought that after I selected the option, but it seems to work okay as long as it's not loading up lightdm [23:01] well, the desktop anyways, the login works fine [23:02] hi is it possible to run make menuconfig twice. first time I decided not to save the changes. then I run make menuconfig again and saved it now. that will not effect anything? I know adding same patch twice is not good. but what about running make menuconfig twice? [23:02] lightdm shows pam_sm_authenticate /home/[user] is already mounted then the kernel throws the ecrypt errors [23:03] Kurdistan: afaik, it edits the same config so you'll be ok [23:04] i got an inter i7 cpu, is it best to run 64bit OS's in my virtual box or just plain 32bit? [23:04] does anyone know of a "command center" program that lets me run commands using natural language (e.g. "format" instead of OS-specific commands)? [23:04] You mean like AppleScript lets you do? [23:04] Flannel - i suspect it's something to do with permissions for /var/www. I can't find the error log file. Where is it in ubuntu? I'm so used to setting this up in windows [23:05] it better also have grub-like "TAB-driven prompt", i.e. if you press TAB, it gives you a list of available commands, and then you choose a command and press TAB again, and it will prompt you what to do next. [23:05] ChozoSR388: i don't know about applescript but i'll learn about it [23:05] Grub has a tab driven prompt? [23:06] kingisher64: No worries. It's in /var/log/apache2/ error.log, obviously enough. [23:06] Well, as long as you have a mac, you're good. But, I was using it as an example. AS lets you do like, "set the int of someVar to 32" [23:07] kristoffer: your CPU will probably support 64bit guests, You will need to set the feature as enabled in BIOS. Do you need 64bit in the guest?? [23:08] here's the idea: each OS has a centralized place to configure settings. in windows it's called Control Panel; in gnome it's called Control Center, etc. but there's no "Command Center" that offers commands like "format" in a centralized place. [23:08] yao_ziyuan: you could make aliases if you want [23:08] i'm having trouble installing netbeans. for some reason i get "c netbeans - Extensible Java IDE" from `aptitude show netbeans` [23:08] Oh, I see what you mean, now. Sorry... [23:09] Flannel - do you find if i open the another window to send you the error? I don't want to fill the main window === erick is now known as holaar [23:10] ActionParsnip, no i dont think so? but i can set more CPU's in vbox, i got i7 1.6ghz [23:10] http://pastie.org/3191893 how do i install netbeans when i'm in this state? [23:10] kristoffer: how do you mean "more CPUs"? [23:10] so if i set 2 CPU's in a 32bit will it turn out to be 3ghz? ;P [23:10] kingisher64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ paste it in there, then hit submit and give the resulting URL to the channel [23:10] Hi. I've got a backup of an old /home partition that is encrypted using the installer's 'encrypt my home directory' option. I know the password, any simple instructions instructions for mounting it please? [23:11] kristoffer: you just set the ram and the system manages the CPU speed given for you.. [23:11] u can chose how manny of the cpu u wil dedicate to the virtual bo [23:11] x === flack is now known as flack-Z [23:11] hi folks! can i run lion in virtualbox for ubuntu? [23:11] Or even useful google search terms would do [23:12] holaar: the virtualbox site says what works. I'd also check the license for Lion so you don't violate any licensing by virtualizing [23:12] i was wondering if is possible to run lion os x in virtualbox [23:12] !repeat | holaar [23:12] holaar: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [23:12] because if i buy it [23:12] holaar: also, ActionParsnip just answered you: <ActionParsnip> holaar: the virtualbox site says what works. I'd also check the license for Lion so you don't violate any licensing by virtualizing [23:13] holaar: the license may not permit it [23:13] holaar: just make sure you touch base with Apple / whoever develops Lion to make sure you dont violate licenses [23:13] holaar: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes [23:13] ahh okay, because i see an option in virtualbox for mac os x [23:14] thanks heaps for your help, mch appreciated =) [23:14] holaar: you still need to check the license agreement for the OS to make sure you can be allowed to virtualize Lion [23:15] holaar: the guys in #vbox may help too [23:15] hello [23:15] Flannel - sorry, i don't know how to use pastebin: [Sun Jan 15 23:03:18 2012] [crit] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: /var/www/kingfisher/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable [23:15] how do i determine what's conflicting with a package? [23:15] how do i run check disk on root [23:15] is lion the newest osx or is it snow lepard or somthing? [23:15] !fsck [23:15] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [23:15] join #vbox [23:15] ups sorry [23:16] kingisher64: It's pretty easy, but one line's no big deal. So, apache runs as the www-data user, you need to make sure everything is readable by www-data (/var/www/kingfisher/ and /var/www/kingfisher/.htaccess) [23:16] ozzloy: what is making you see a conflict? [23:16] i wrote a small script http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/405177/ [23:16] ty thats what i wanted to knowe [23:16] ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/3191893 [23:16] at kinda works but also prints: line 3: [1: command not found. so what I'm doing wrong? [23:17] ozzloy: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [23:17] ActionParsnip, this is on ubuntu 11.10, oneiric [23:18] i could swear i had netbeans installed on this before [23:18] and now i can't run it === nathan_ is now known as Guest47717 [23:18] ozzloy: does: sudo apt-get -f install help? [23:18] oh... maybe it's because i had installed netbeans then upgraded ubuntu. does that sound plausible? [23:18] ActionParsnip, maybe, i'll try [23:18] Flannel - it's driving me crazy, i've been at this for hours - it's normally a 1 min job in win. Would applying permissions of 777 to www do the trick? [23:19] ActionParsnip, ah, that tells me i need to apt-get autoremove [23:19] doing so now [23:19] kingisher64: `chmod -R a+rX /var/www` is safer. [23:20] ActionParsnip, so ... assuming i can install netbeans when autoremove is done, can you elaborate on what just happened? [23:20] ozzloy: -f is for (f)ix it squares off the packages so everything is ok === quiesense is now known as quiescens [23:22] http://pastie.org/3191946 nope, no dice [23:22] brb, food's done [23:22] Does ubuntu have a /usr/lib/firefox directory or is it always /usr/lib/firefox- ? [23:23] Flannel - do i need to login as root to apply that command? (sudo chmod -R a+rX /var/www) - as executing is returns "sudo: unable to resolve host kingfisher" [23:24] kingisher64: You do need to use sudo. If your sudo is saying that, it looks like you've broken your hostname stuff. You should fix that. [23:24] kingisher64: root would also work, if you've enabled your root account. [23:28] spal: try: ls /usr/bin/ | grep -i firef [23:28] back [23:29] ActionParsnip, that didn't work, still says conflict. i have another machine on oneiric that has netbeans installed just fine [23:29] ozzloy: you packages aren't solid, there is a dep break some place [23:30] thanks for the -f thing, that seemed to do a lot [23:30] removed some java stuff [23:30] here's what it did http://pastie.org/3191982 [23:31] would logging out and back in be worth a shot? [23:32] meh, i'm trying it even though it seems really unlikely that that will help [23:33] http://pastie.org/3191991 still no love [23:34] ozzloy: What's the problem? [23:36] Flannel, http://pastie.org/3191991 check the end, i just appended my attempt to install netbeans [23:36] ozzloy: 11.10 doesn't have netbeans. There's no problem with your packages that I can see. It looks like you had netbeans installed in 11.04 before you upgraded. [23:36] Flannel, the 11.10 machine i'm typing on right now has netbeans [23:37] l [23:37] http://pastie.org/3192009 === derp|cheesecake is now known as derp [23:37] i gtg, be back in a couple hours [23:38] thanks for the help so far! [23:38] ozzloy: What's the output on (the current machine, with netbeans) of: apt-cache policy netbeans [23:38] Flannel, check http://pastie.org/3192009 i just appended it [23:38] but i'm away now [23:38] thanks! [23:39] ozzloy: Right. That shows that there's no netbeans available from a repository. You have it installed because you installed it in 11.04 (or from a manual deb) [23:39] can someone test this script and tell me why it throws an error? http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/405177/ [23:40] y2E0: Try #bash [23:40] Trying to clean up ubuntu studio. Is there a log that displays what packages I've installed since initial install? Trying to get back to factory-fresh... [23:40] y2E0: you probably just need a: fi at the end [23:40] y2E0: put spaces around your condition, like so: [ $# -lt 1 ] [23:42] sick! [23:42] it's been the spaces [23:42] i thought javascript debugging is hard but it seems with bash I'm entering a new dimension. :) [23:44] y2E0: try: http://paste.ubuntu.com/805718/ === s is now known as Guest78282 [23:44] Flannel - thank you very much for the help. I've got it working now. I've been using ubuntu about a week so need to get educated on the permissions system and terminal commands. Thanks again. :) [23:45] kingisher64: No worries, glad you got it sorted. [23:46] ActionParsnip: no that would load a file with argument's name. but the spaces for the if-condition fixed the error. [23:46] y2E0: sweet, you reached the goad is all we want :) [23:46] \^^/ champain anyone? [23:48] I'll have a glass. don't know why but you're nice [23:53] hello [23:54] to run fsck on root can i have it boot into a command window or should i use a live cd? [23:54] how can i do to make starup ubuntu make ad-hoc or emulate a router after you login something like daemon ???? [23:54] is there a way to create a desktop link to an smb network drive in 11.10? [23:55] Casey: I like to create the file /forcefsck and next time it boots it does it [23:56] it says symbolic links aren't supported [23:56] i just ran it and there still a few errors should i run it again [23:56] linky_: link to the folder in ~/.gvfs [23:57] ActionParsnip: how? [23:58] how do i get up CPU speed, usage, ram, hdd space - like it is one Crunce bang linux? [23:59] well?
