[00:00] Hello, I am trying to put together a htpc. I am trying to hook up a 42 inch westinghouse via vga. How can I auto detect resolutions, or set a list of resolutions for HD video.. [00:00] ActionParsnip: how????????? [00:00] and how can i get root accses to my system to add a folder there ? [00:00] to run fsck on root can i have it boot into a command window or should i use a live cd? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:01] I have a system where lpstat is telling me that the printer is stopped - I can cp to /dev/usb/lp0 but can not start it - this happens occasionally - when I reboot the jobs will print - whats happening - or how do I debug this [00:01] All I want to do is have a link to my network drive onmy desktop, can anyone help me with this? [00:01] Casey: I gave you a method [00:02] linky_: if you run: ls ~/.gvfs you will see the folder [00:02] linky_: you can then run: cd ~/Desktop; ln -s ~/.gvfs/foldername [00:02] linky_: use TAB to complete the folder name [00:02] I am using the nvidia drivers with an nvidia card [00:02] magicJ; it didn't get all the errors should i run it again? [00:03] Hello everyone [00:03] thank you [00:03] ctcsadmin: once you install the driver, the system will automatically detect resolutions [00:03] Casey: yes - it does seem that sometimes you need that [00:03] Hello, can anyone help me with a display configuration. [00:03] Casey: it cetainly can not hurt [00:04] ctcsadmin: if you run: nvidia-settings from dash you will get a GUI which you can configure your display [00:04] I got a question for you guys, I have checked my /etc/passwd file and found some users called guest-XXXXXX where those X are random characters [00:04] magicJ: and i can run sudo fsck -n atfer it starts up to check the root FS and make sure it got the errors right? [00:04] is it normal? or I just got hacked? [00:04] ActionParsnip, I tried that, it doesn't seem to stay, and it goes back to 4:3 mode even if I tell it to stay [00:05] ActionParsnip, how to I install a monitor? [00:05] ctcsadmin: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings then when you set the res, click "save to x config file" should be ok, my system does the same [00:06] I also can't acccess my /etc/passwd file at all, both useradd and userdel commands are not working [00:06] test234251, even with sudo? [00:06] even with sudo [00:06] #useradd or #userdel [00:07] got a problem since I uploaded Ubuntu 11.10. When I rebooted after the install, I get a grub rescue prompt. I used the CD to load Ubuntu again but I need to know how to reload the grub. I have no experience on this, but now I cannot even load Windows. [00:07] I get:the file can't be blocked [00:07] is there an error msg? [00:07] no such device long string of letters [00:07] I check the file then and find those apparently random guest users [00:08] test234251, ps auxw | grep shadow [00:08] is nothing is using it just - rm /etc/shadow.lock [00:09] I get this: root 4413 0.0 0.0 5684 800 pts/0 S+ 01:09 0:00 grep --color=auto shadow [00:10] so, what are those guest users on my /etc/passwd file? [00:10] Keith__: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ [00:10] Keith__, from a live cd - sudo grub-install /dev/sda (for example) [00:10] Casey: not sure === trinitas is now known as dies_irae [00:11] test234251, i think it's ok? one might reboot first then remove the lock to be certain [00:12] ok, im cheking this, back in a minute [00:12] hi [00:13] i have install jdownloader on reposity deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jd-team/jdownloader/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main but not open [00:13] i think the problem is java [00:13] Hi everyone. I'd like to Dual Boot Ubuntu and XP. I have Ubuntu already so, how would I do this? [00:14] but i have java [00:14] about:plugins Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_27 [00:14] paolo11, are you sure jdownloader is installed? ps if you want a download gui, check out fatrat [00:15] that's just the plugin, you need the jre [00:15] fatrat rocks :) [00:15] hi [00:15] oh sorry now do upgrade [00:16] ActionParsnip, it found some resolutions, but the highest sized the screen so i cannot see the sides [00:16] ctcsadmin: then use slightly lower, is it ok there? [00:17] metaspike I made it! [00:17] thank you very much [00:17] ctcsadmin: I can talk you through the process of adding a resolution if you would like. [00:17] hello [00:17] I deleted /etc/passwd.lock [00:17] and shadow.lock [00:17] I'd like to Dual Boot Ubuntu and XP. I have Ubuntu already so, how would I do this? [00:17] ActionParsnip, anything lower comes up as 4:3 and not 16:9 [00:18] Ublunttu, sure but I don't even know what resolution I want…. [00:18] JBunny: well, you would have to install xp then boot a live-cd and reintsll grub like sudo grub-insall /dev/sda [00:18] ctcsadmin: 42" tv? 1920x1080 probably [00:18] JBunny: and make sure you have the windows XP recover DVD = just in case... [00:18] Ublunttu, I'd like a readable resolution, and I'd also like HD movies in 720p and 1080p to display when I need them to [00:18] ctcsadmin: pastebin for me please. xrandr -q [00:19] Ublunttu: how would i partition my hdd? [00:19] JBunny: uhh.... default setup with 1 ntfs partition at the end for xp ? [00:19] paolo11, which distro? [00:19] JBunny: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [00:19] JBuny: Partition using gparted from a Ubuntu LiveCD [00:21] hey, ikonia and mongy, just a feedback for you guys: IT WORKED! :D that url mongy provided was really useful. The key to solve my issue was a misconfiguration in the alternatives system, which is the one that provides the symlinks to the driver's executables. It was on "manual", and must be set to "auto" before installing the debs. Once done, the debs worked frawlessly. Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! [00:21] paolo11, sudo apt-get install default-jre [00:21] ok, ill try. ty for the link acerimmer [00:22] JBunny: just take your time and follow the steps. IF I can do it, so can you [00:22] Ublunttu, the maximum resolution is 1360x768 I know it can go higher than that. [00:22] Ublunttu, is there a way to re auto detect? [00:22] ctcsadmin: run in terminal cvt 1920 1080 === CreativeEmbassy is now known as Judy [00:23] how can i get ubuntu to boot in command prompt to run fsck? [00:23] Ublunttu, ok gave me a bunch of stuff and a mode line === Judy is now known as CreativeEmbassy [00:24] ctcsadmin: ok. copy everything after modeline [00:24] i'm a bit of a linux noob, but I'm installing Aegir on the latest ubuntu from the software centre and it seems to be stuck on around 80% done. is there a way to stop it/roll it back? [00:24] How can we add your PPA/Package to the Official Ubuntu Universe Repository? [00:24] Ublunttu, ok [00:24] ctcsadmin: then run xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync use the stuff you copied [00:25] Casey, sudo touch /forcefsck [00:25] reboot [00:25] yes but its not getting all the errors [00:25] so i would liek to run it manual [00:26] ctcsadmin: you do that? [00:26] Ublunttu, yes got a few errors [00:30] Ublunttu, ??? [00:30] ctcsadmin: what error? [00:31] Casey: use livecd [00:33] Ublunttu, pastebin.com/tnwUsLBA [00:34] ctcsadmin: odd. but does it show up in xrandr -q? [00:34] testing, testing [00:35] Hello All! I used a liveCD of 11.10 to test it out. It worked great with my g200 and I was able to setup dual screen in the "Displays" control panel. However once I did a full install it would not recognize that I had two monitors and I had to fall back to using nvidia-settings (and I think an xorg.conf file) to enable twinview which means Unity sees one big desktop not two smaller ones. Any ideas why the liveCD would work but not the full instal [00:35] I tried both the Recommended and version current-updates version of the restricted driver...didn't seem to make any difference [00:36] Ublunttu, yes it shows [00:36] what if you ran the live cd again, and copied the xorg.conf? [00:36] ctcsadmin: xrande --mode 1920x1080_60.00 [00:37] xrandr [00:37] Carl_: is there an xorg.conf? my understanding is that xorg.conf is actually depricated and shouldn't be used [00:37] when I ran nvidia-settings and told it to save it complained saying there was no xorg.conf to backup... === captain_ is now known as CaptainFixerpc14 [00:37] id like to configure a printer - how do i determine the correct "host" on my network? [00:38] wrektjet: the ip of the pc having the printer connected [00:38] wrektjet: or of the printer itself [00:38] wrektjet, if it's attached to a computer, do ifconfig on that computer [00:39] Ublunttu, nothing just gives me a bunch of usage information [00:39] ctcsadmin: whats your display name ? [00:40] in the display settings it says Unknown [00:40] Ublunttu, in the display settings it says Unknown [00:41] ctcsadmin: pastebin xrandr -q ? [00:43] hello guys, i have a problem with xubuntu, it does not recognise my wifi driver. right now i am on 10.04 (however, ubuntu 11.10 did recognise it automatically). what can i do? [00:43] v0lksman, how would i determine the printers own ip address? [00:43] Ublunttu, pastebin.com/XQD6Gfzb [00:43] wrektjet: some can print their configs [00:43] as using the compouters doesnt find anything (its a wirelss printer i am trying to connect to) [00:43] wrektjet: or use nmap [00:43] wrektjet: or login to your router/AP and look at the DHCP allocations [00:45] ctcsadmin: 1920x720 isn't a real resolution. its either 1920x1080 or 1280x720 but usually 1360x768 or something weird (because of the chip most tv's use) [00:45] Ublunttu: you can use any res you want in theory ;) [00:45] ActionParsnip: not if it doesn't work.. which it isn't for him === mfc_coder__ is now known as mfc_coder [00:45] Ublunttu, so what do I do? [00:45] guys any help with the wifi? [00:46] ctcsadmin: well is your tv 1920x1080 thats full HD 1080p === mfc_coder is now known as x_coder [00:47] Ublunttu, says full 1080p on it. and I know I've had it that high before, I have never seen the 1360x768 res before until today. [00:47] zenok: with some details, maybe [00:47] ctcsadmin: re-do the process using cvt 1920 1080 [00:47] v0lksman, i printed out the settings from my printer :) thnx easy plan [00:48] ctcsadmin: also. your max says Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1360 x 768 while mine says. 8192 x 8192 you might have framebuffer issues ? [00:48] ActionParsnip: Xubuntu 10.04, and let me check my wifi lspscusb? right? [00:48] zenok: if you run: sudo lshw -C network [00:48] zenok: what is the product line? [00:49] ActionParsnip: Product? [00:50] ActionParsnip: what is that? [00:50] Hello :) [00:50] hello [00:51] Hi there. Am looking to get some advise for using FFmpeg in Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS, as I am encountering an increasing audio delay behind the video that I am actually seeing. Anybody know a fix for this ? [00:51] zenok: yes, run the command and you'll see [00:51] Trying to work out if my Ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit [00:51] Dreadtower: uname -r [00:51] sorry, -m [00:51] Dreadtower: i686 == 32bit x86_64 == 64bit [00:52] Thx - i686, so 64 bit I guess [00:52] Thx again :) [00:52] Ublunttu, I don't know…. I think the display settings is all jacked up…I am using the default nvidia driver…. and ubuntu is what set all those low and max resolutions [00:52] Good anticipation [00:52] ActionParsnip: Ok, i can see network 0 and 1. the insteresting is the network 0, since i think it is the wifi (the network 1 is ethernet) [00:52] Dreadtower: no, 32bit [00:52] Dreadtower: NO [00:52] Ah! Sorry - yes - I see [00:52] ctcsadmin: yea im not sure either [00:52] Dreadtower: and ActionParsnip I run 32 on a 64 bitmachine and that is what I get [00:53] ActionParsnip: if xrandr -q says his max res is 1360 x 768 is that cause thats what framebuffer max is set to or something in grub he needs to change ? [00:53] zenok: what is the product line of the wireless ? [00:53] I seem to have 3.0.0-14-generic-oae i686 [00:53] s/oae/pae/ [00:53] magicJ: uname -m is the kernel arch, not the cpu [00:54] ActionParsnip: ISL3886 (prism javelin/Prism xbow) [00:54] Dreadtower: cool, you have a 32bit kernel with pae enabled, you can access up to 64Gb RAM :) [00:54] zenok: ok, use that to find guides [00:54] Thx ActionParsnip: Does this mean I should download 64 bit apps. then? [00:55] Dreadtower: they won't run in a 32bit OS [00:55] Yeah: I kinda guessed that :) [00:55] ActionParsnip: I am most deninitely running 32 bit OS and am gettin i686 when I do uname -m [00:55] Thx for all your help [00:56] Anybody here know how to effectively use FFmpeg ? [00:56] having a problem on 10.04 where i keep getting messages that say I am down to 1.5 GB of disk space. But gparted says I have 16.62 GiB [00:57] ActionParsnip: This is not what i am looking for, i have two wireless interfaces, one is a usb stick, and the other a pci. this is the pci card and i would like to use the usb stick, how can i find the name of the usb stick driver? [00:57] zenok: run: lsusb you will get an 8 character hex ID, use that to find guides [00:57] iwcconfig [00:58] magicJ: that's fine [00:58] how do i remove the functionality of hiding menu items at the top in that toolbar. It's been driving me bonkers since i installed ubuntu. I'd like to see the menu options available all the time if possible. [00:58] markitman2, what does df -h say? [00:58] I gets stranger, disk usage analyzer says I am using 266 out of 283, but the root directory is only using 170 and the only other partitions are a 10 Gi [00:58] 10 GiB extended swap [00:58] kingisher64: you mean global menu? [00:59] markitman2: how much ram do you have? [00:59] ActionParsnip: so why then am I getting the i686 if it is the case that it is reporting the kernel technology and you say that is 64 bit [00:59] markitman2: why do you have a 10gig swap ? [00:59] df -h gives:Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [00:59] /dev/sda1 283G 267G 2.3G 100% / [00:59] none 1.9G 288K 1.9G 1% /dev [00:59] none 1.9G 1.4M 1.9G 1% /dev/shm [00:59] none 1.9G 100K 1.9G 1% /var/run [00:59] markitman2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:59] none 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /var/lock [00:59] O.o [00:59] maybe 80 gigs of ram :) [01:00] vindav: what're trying to accomplish [01:00] markitman2, use this for pastes: http://goo.gl/ixcN9 [01:00] magicJ: no, you can run 32bit OS on 64bit CPU, if you use PAE you can address more RAM. That's all [01:00] ActionParsnip - i'm not sure what it's called. Desktop bar? If I click home then hover over the toolbar at the top it reveals the menu options. [01:00] sorry, the is first time ever using irc. I usually use google to find/fix problems but I can't find a solution [01:00] acerimmer, I am trying to have a avi made from an flv file such that the video matches the audio [01:00] kingisher64: http://maketecheasier.com/remove-app-menu-in-ubuntu-oneiric/2011/10/14 [01:01] !ask | markitman2 [01:01] markitman2: 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 [01:01] so I just rebooted onto the liveCD, it claims no proprietary drivers. So I removed proprietary drivers from the install and rebooted but exact same result. Only sees one monitor not both. Grrrr... [01:01] vindav: so you're changing the video codec?? [01:01] vindav: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-convert-flv-to-avi-using-ffmpeg.html [01:01] ActionParsnip: yes - but you said that it would tell him what he is running. I know that I am running a 64 bit CPU and know that I am running a 32 bit os [01:02] what seems to be the problem [01:03] ActionParsnip - that would be fantastic if it works - here comes the restart! [01:03] does any other than alsamixer, are there any other console-based (maybe ncurses) volume controls for pulseaudio? [01:04] acerimmer: no I am not changing the video codec. When setting up the conversion from flv to avi, I set it up to do MS compatible avi [01:04] markitman2: the output of df -h seems to show that you're indeed running out of space for the root partition. if gparted says something else, it must be referring to other partitions/disk space. [01:04] vindav1: and add the audio? [01:05] markitman2: are there partitions not mounted, that wouldn't show up in df -h? [01:06] acerimmer: the original flv file is both the audio & video combined, and when I found out that WinFF converts flv to avi in Ubuntu Linux, I tried it out, made several conversions only to find out that there is a delay experienced when viewing the video and hearing the audio. [01:06] ActionParsnip - thanks, that worked a treat. That auto hide had been driving me absolutely bonkers! [01:06] ow can we add your PPA/Package to the Official Ubuntu Universe Repository? [01:07] kingisher64: most things are configurable dude :) [01:07] hi [01:07] How* [01:07] vindav1: I haven't used winff. Suggest you use the command line. wait one [01:07] ActionParsnip: thank you, i found the solution. now i have another problem.why doesn't xubuntu automount and show drives, pendrives and cds on the desktop? [01:07] excuse me [01:07] danger89: which package? [01:07] how do i find missing hard drive space on 10.04 when my only partitions is / and it is reporting 170GB used but also says the total filesystem capacity is 283 with 266 used. I am also getting messages saying I am out of drive space. [01:07] ActionParsnip - thank goodness that is one of them! [01:07] can i ask a question [01:08] vBulletin: just ask dude [01:08] thanks [01:08] acerimmer: ok, I'll wait a bit. When you get back, how do you use the command line for converting flv to avi ? [01:08] zenok: when you plug in a device, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues. [01:08] how can i install macintosh [01:08] ActionParsnip: to be exactly: Bumblebee (3.0 is comming really soon). Bumblebee aims to provide support for NVIDIA Optimus laptops for GNU/Linux distributions. [01:08] !info macintosh [01:08] Package macintosh does not exist in oneiric [01:09] you mean hackintosh [01:09] vBulletin you mean, Mac OSX? [01:09] i joining first time here [01:09] vBulletin or Hackintosh? [01:09] vindav1: System>Help and Support|ffmpeg [01:09] vBulletin: you want to install ubuntu on a mac ? [01:09] so sorry [01:09] there are guides for hakcintoshe [01:09] danger89: not sure, you could report a bug. nVidia are refusing to support optimus in aything but Windows [01:09] just mac [01:09] in google [01:09] markitman2: can you run "sudo fdisk -l" and put the pastebin url here? [01:09] but [01:09] vBulletin: you want to install what ? [01:09] i have a windows pc [01:09] i saying again [01:09] vBulletin you have 2 options [01:09] ActionParsnip: we know, that is why there is a Bumblebee-Project [01:09] yea but some people are able to install in intel pcs [01:09] i want to install macintosh [01:10] so they call it hackintosh [01:10] danger89: indeed [01:10] goole it [01:10] evening guys. I'm gonna need your help on something. Is there anyone here who has dealing with ubuntu's pools and mirrors/archives please? [01:10] ActionParsnip: lol, i just pluged it for the 5th time and worked [01:10] vBulletin: you can't, at least not legally (probably) [01:10] vBulletin: how is that ubuntu related? [01:10] Or do I need a different channel? [01:10] i used the ubuntu [01:10] acerimmer: I ran the terminal command line you supplied. I got a read out. What do I do with this ? [01:10] vindav1: from the terminal: ffmpeg -i inputmovie.flv output movie.avi [01:10] zenok: freaky, remember to safe remove the device when you are done with it [01:10] BarkingFish, ask away, and we'll try to get an answer [01:10] who can help me [01:10] vindav1: from the terminal: ffmpeg -i inputmovie.flv outputmovie.avi [01:10] vBulletin: I'd ask in #apple your issue is mac based [01:10] vBulletin: i'm an orange, you're an apple! [01:11] ActionParsnip: thank you [01:11] apple channel? [01:11] fokkle: http://paste.ubuntu.com/805762/ [01:11] ActionParsnip: But what is the normal way to add a package to the official Ubuntu Universe repo? [01:11] bazhang: sure. I just had to refresh my packages in Kubuntu due to dpkg crashing during an update to KDE 4.7.4 - When I refreshed, I got the error "W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_main_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch" [01:11] danger89: the repo maintainers will need to meet and deem it suitable [01:11] acerimmer: I ran the next terminal command you supplied, and something similar but different showed up. [01:12] danger89, easier to get a PPA [01:12] !ppa | danger89 [01:12] danger89: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa [01:12] BarkingFish: http://paste.ubuntu.com/805763/ [01:12] we got already a PPA [01:12] That suggests to me that whatever came down from the security mirror and what was stored on my machine seem to have different sizes or hashs, in which case I need to find out which is wrong. The local package list on my machine, or the one on the security mirror? [01:12] vindav1: pastebin it [01:12] https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/ [01:12] acerimmer: what does pastebin mean ? [01:12] PPA: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bumblebee-ppa [01:12] danger89: I suggest you report a bug [01:12] ok [01:13] !pastebin|vindav1 [01:13] vindav1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:13] ActionParsnip: what am I supposed to do with that? Put it in a terminal and run it? [01:13] BarkingFish: run each line in turn [01:13] acerimmer: I suppose I need to actually need to use the name of the file to be converted, right ? And if so, does terminal do a better job than the gui WinFF ? [01:13] ok, give me a few moments then [01:13] BarkingFish: I just have it in a script because I'm lazy [01:14] Acerimmer: What does !pastebin|vindav do ? [01:14] vindav1: as i said, I don't use winff. Terminal gets you more granular and exact control. Helps to know all the parameters but that's what the help manual is for. [01:14] ActionParsnip: thanks [01:15] vindav1: it lets you post multiple lines of text like the one I gave danger89, instead of spamming the channel [01:15] vindav1: run your commands, copy the terminal display, paste into paste.ubuntu.com. You'll get a url which you poste in irc [01:16] acerimmer: how do I do that ? [01:16] guys - anyone know robocopy commands? [01:16] no one around on ##windows [01:16] ActionParsnip: how do I determine amount of ram? [01:16] ActionParsnip: how long does this script normally take to run? [01:16] BarkingFish: a while [01:17] more or less than an hour? [01:17] vindav1: point your browser to paste.ubuntu.com. Run the ffmpeg commands. Select the display and copy. Paste into the paste.ubuntu.com window. Put your name as the poster. Paste! then copy the url and post back in irc. [01:17] vindav1: ffmpeg to be run in the terminal [01:17] ActionParsnip: You didn´t pastbin anything :P [01:17] markitman2: whatever's reporting only 170GB used has got to be wrong. how did you get that number? [01:17] ActionParsnip: atleast not the me [01:18] ublunttu: i just did a full install on a new hard drive on my wifes win 7 laptop after windows crashed. i didn't set this swap size [01:18] acerimmer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/805767/ [01:18] fokkle: the ubuntu disk usage analyzer [01:19] vindav1: enter YOUR inputmovie.flv name and YOUR outputmovie.avi name. You have to select the output name. [01:19] markitman2: you'll probably have to resize the root partition. you can decrease swap in gparted, then, decrease the extended to fit the new swap size, then increase the root partition. [01:19] acerimmer: I see that now [01:20] fokkle: but i don't get it i am missing 100 GB === algo is now known as Guest76143 [01:20] markitman2: free -t -m | grep "Mem:" | awk '{print $2}' shows total RAM [01:20] markitman2: in Mbs [01:21] acerimmer: let me try that out with the right file names [01:21] vindav1: goforit [01:21] ActionParsnip: that's ram, we're talking about hdd space. [01:21] ActionParsnip: ok, all done. I've saved it as a bash script now so I should be able to do that quicker in the future if I ever need to. [01:22] ActionParsnip: 3708 MB [01:22] Why would my wifi speed be limited to 150K/s? [01:22] markitman2: anyway, the disk analyzer has got to be wrong. I don't have it to run right now and see how it gives output, but it can't be right. [01:22] acerimmer: now it's not finding the file which I have resident in my local drive [01:22] fokkle: df -h then :) [01:22] anyone here able to help me with an audio volume problem please? I'm feeding MPD through PA, but the audio's extremely soft. I've used alsamixer to up all levels, but it's still very quite [01:22] BarkingFish: ok, run: sudo apt-get update [01:23] BarkingFish: is it smooth? [01:23] vindav1: select and drag the file name into the terminal [01:23] acerimmer: I'll try that out now [01:23] fokkle: the analyzer does say that my total file system has 283 GB but shows only 170 GB for / (root) [01:23] clean, ActionParsnip - no updates to go through, no errors during the update. [01:23] Looks good from where I'm sitting :) [01:24] markitman2, just a second. I've got a link for someone with a similar problem--different space reporting.... [01:24] BarkingFish: sweet, basically you deleted your systems knowledge of any packages from any source, then redownloaded them all fresh [01:25] fokkle: gparted shows / (root) as having 287 GiB with 16.6 unused. [01:25] acerimmer: ok, I've dragged the file name into the terminal box. How do I go about directing where the output file goes ? [01:25] yeah, and now I can automate that process, ActionParsnip, so I don't have to copypaste 20 lines into konsole :) [01:25] Thanks for the script, it's appreciated. I'll keep it handy for the future in case anyone else needs to do similar, assuming of course, you don't mind [01:25] BarkingFish: save the text to a file, mark the file as executable and you have a script [01:26] fokkle: the problem is i keep getting system messages saying I am out of disk space <1.5GB left and gives option to open the analyzer which gives the info i provided. [01:26] BarkingFish: I'd love you to spread it if it fixes things :D [01:26] i've saved it already, just got to add the executable flag to it [01:26] vindav1: whatever directory your terminal is in is where the output will go - OR you can specify.. Look like you're in your /HOME so I'd look there. [01:27] markitman2: this link suggests that it may be caused by files that have been deleted while being accessed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1251827 [01:27] markitman2: try rebooting, checking df and analyzer and see if they're the same afterward. === marco is now known as Guest74243 [01:27] will 10.04 be supported in any capacity after 12.04? [01:28] BarkingFish: you'll see it a lot on launchpad questions as it happens sometimes and people ask, so I just paste the file :) [01:28] bklive: 10.04 is supported for 36 months, so yes [01:28] bklive: sure, desktop lucid is supported til April next year [01:28] bklive, 10.04 LTS is supported for 3 years [01:29] excellent! thanks everyone [01:29] lol [01:29] acerimmer: we have a launch Houston !! :D Terminal is actually doing the encoding from flv to avi now from the instructions you provided. Let's wait a bit; I'll test it once it's finished. The flv file size is 310MB. How long do you think that will take ? [01:29] OK ActionParsnip - It just seems such an easy solution to something which scares the thingies out of you. I didn't want to reboot since i was scared it'd broken KDE when the update didn't finish. I'd still like to find out why dpkg dies during large updates though. [01:29] bklive: i'd get Precise when you can, it will have nice new package versions and such which will help with hardware compatibility :) [01:29] This one weighed in at a whopping 589mb, and over wifi, that's a pain. [01:29] BarkingFish: Linux is easy dude [01:30] acerimmer: terminal is doing each frame at a time compared to when I used the WinFF gui [01:30] Yeah, I know it's easy, but when things zombify during important stuff, it freaks you out a bit, ActionParsnip [01:30] vindav1: winff is ONLY the gui. Behind the scenes it uses ffmpeg you just don't see it. [01:31] BarkingFish: I guess [01:31] fokkle: i have already rebooted as a first try (since I come from windows world) [01:31] fokkle: but i will try again. thanks for the effort [01:32] markitman2: ah, sorry. good luck. [01:32] vindav1: consider adding metadata after the encoding. It will drastically reduce the file size. ffmpeg -i in.avi -metadata title="my title" out.flv [01:33] acerimmer: Oh ok...I'm getting a serious teaching here right now. Whoa. BTW, I noticed that the terminal version is doing a bitrate @ 267.7kb/s consistently compared to the 1MB/s when using WinFF. Do you know why that is ? Also, terminal has just finished the encoding. I'll test it out, and come back to read you comments and to offer feedback. [01:39] acerimmer: I just went over many segments of the file that got translated and still there is a delay. I noticed that delay is noticeable after 60 minutes of a 2 hour and 23 minute length video. [01:40] hi [01:40] vindav1: source file is the .flv? Did you download that source? [01:41] jose?

Then ffmpeg to a new video substituting the "fixed" audio. [01:52] aserimmer: as for whether or not the audio track was synced with the video, all I know is that the audio input is coming from a sound board independant of the video cam signal feed to make the flv file through Adobe [01:52] vindav1: Adobe is involved?

I need some help [01:54] acerimmer: are you saying that to meld the audio later to the video when put into avi format and time it sort of with my ears and eyes ? Man o man, that would take along time, is this right ? [01:54] vindav1: here's what I THINK you might try. Get clean audio - can be done with ffmpeg. [01:54] vindav1: merge that audio with the video with ffmpeg and you should be done. [01:54] Shay|SSH, Never used it before. [01:55] vindav1: confused: your audio is NOT part of the source.flv?? [01:55] vindav1: do and paste this ffmpeg -i source.flv [01:56] acerimmer: what I am doing is converting a internet broadcast caught on laptop while it was live streaming. I would then take the flv file thinking that it has everything on it, then convert it to avi later through WinFF. If I don't have to do this, is there a straight flv player that I can use saving me alot of work ? I hope so. [01:56] aBound: Well, this is a default session issue so it _may_ not be just the BB..

[02:01] acerimmer: I see where track synchronization can be adjusted. [02:03] vindav1: b4 you do all that, see Media/Convert/Save...your solution might be there. [02:04] acerimmer: are you refeyerrs / [02:05] acerimmer: are your referring to WinFF or VLC Player ? [02:05] vindav1: vlc. I don't do winff [02:07] acerimmer: VLC Player doesn't provide that function "see Media/Convert/Save...your solution might be there."

I managed to track down a web page with the information from someone who had the exact same problem as I did. I fixed my apparmor config and all is well. [02:20] vindav1: OK, this shows that there's no offset. For some reason, you audio slips out of synch as the video progress. I've had a similar issue when mixing audio/video with openshot [02:21] acerimmer: yeah, I didn't know how to explain it to you. There you have it. What you said is exactly my problem. How did you solve yours ? [02:21] vindav1: step 1 rip the audio [02:21] vindav1: ingore above [02:21] Hello [02:21] How can I contact the absolute root DNS server avoiding intermediate DNS caches? [02:22] acerimmer: are you saying to not rip the audio or extract it ? Or are you saying to do that as a first step ? [02:22] Hi [02:22] I'm not exactly familiar with how things work in Ubuntu. I just downloaded and installed dropbox. How do I run the program? [02:22] vindav1: in my case, I had encoded the video @ 30 fps. The audio was from a music .mp3. I used openshot to mix at 24 fps and threw the timing off. [02:23] acerimmer: so, that did you do ? [02:23] vindav1: re-encoded at 30 fps with openshot - fixed. [02:24] why cant i save files to my network drive? [02:24] Can someone tell me how I can run programs that I have downloaded and installed? I know it's a newb question, but... [02:24] there isn't even an option in my save file dialog box [02:24] like when i right click and save a file in Firefox [02:25] vindav1: so - let's ;get you some good audio! ffmpeg -i sourcevideo.flv -vn -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 44100 -ac 2 sourceaudio.wav [02:25] almoxarife: pastie.org/3192563 i can't even get it to start [02:25] acerimmer: so, did you extract the audio first from your source file ? If so, how did you take the audio component away from the source file which would now be basically video ? [02:25] FoxtrotZero, what atr the file formats, and are you sure you need to download them? [02:25] are [02:25] acerimmer: does openshot do that too ? [02:26] Urlin2u, I downloaded Dropbox. it's an application, which was installed by some ubuntu service. I can't figure out how to run the program. [02:26] vindav1: my video was silent. I added a music file and merged with me openshot - which served as a gui to ffmpeg. [02:28] acerimmer: are you saying that once you extracted the audio, that the video was now silent, and this was all done by using Openshot ? How did you speed up the source file video to a higher speed ? [02:28] urlin2u I actually know the way to start the program, if I can get to the CLI. Which I cannot seem to do, either. [02:28] chaospsychex: what version of ubuntu is that? [02:29] FoxtrotZero, type terminal in the dash or crtl-alt-t [02:29] almoxarife: 10.10 [02:29] acerimmer: I'm beginning to sound like I don't know what I am communicating about because I don't have the knowledge base to understand the extraction and reintegration process of the audio coming back to a video file that is sped up a bit to get the mix of the audio, right ? [02:29] vindav1: open shot allows you to specify the output format e.g. low HD which is fps 30 [02:29] FoxtrotZero, I'm not familiar with dropbox but many are here probably. [02:30] vindav1: u have openshot? I can walk you through if you want [02:30] FoxtrotZero, how did you install it? [02:30] acerimmer: so, does Openshot to extractions, reintegration of audio to sped up video ? [02:31] vindav1: no. ffmpeg to extract. Openshot to repackage, i.e. apply the container [02:31] Bucky: I downloaded it from the website. Firefox offered to open it with "Ubuntu Software Center". I did that, and then USC opened up, with the option to install Dropbox. Which I did. [02:31] Now I cannot figure out how to start the program. I could do it, if i could figure out how to get to the CLI [02:31] vindav1: try this: ffmpeg -i sourcefile.flv -vn -acodec copy sourceaudio.mp3 [02:32] FoxtrotZero, here's a howto.. http://tinyurl.com/7379vbx [02:32] acerimmer: so, once I do that, I would think that it's like mixing two track together really, right ? [02:32] FoxtrotZero: try opening terminal and typing dropbox [02:32] Hawks008: I do not know how to open Terminal [02:32] vindav1: that command will extract the audio from your source and re-package as .mp3 [02:33] Bucky: It's not Box.net.

I'm either looking for help here or I'm looking to be directed to the correct channel. I;m trying to mount a 3.5" SATA using a SATA to USB adapter, meant for a 2.5" SATA drive. The 2.5" needs +5V at 1.0A, and the 3.5" is marke +5.0V @ 0.72A. So I _think_ power isn't an issue. However, when I connect USB to the adapter, the LED lights, but the drive doesn't spin. Is there any hope, or am I using an incompatible adapter? [04:01] sweet! I think in later version it changed to the pattern sudo service [name] [option] [04:01] Well, he seen that he does'nt recognized me as Brazilian.

When I try to use sound from the command-line (either tty1 or through ssh), no sound plays unless I use sudo. Any idea what would cause this or how I'd fix it? [05:18] Grivvel: are you part of the audio group? [05:18] yabai: Yup, I just tried adding myself to the audio group and it didn't seem to help. (Though I haven't rebooted since doing that.) [05:18] audio group?? is that even needed to do in ubuntu?? [05:18] Grivvel: log out and log back in [05:19] yabai: Hmm, suppose I should have thought of doing that :P Thanks, I'll try it! [05:19] Grivvel: until you log out and log back in it won't work [05:19] Ahhh, got it, makes sense :) [05:19] also double check groups [05:20] I did disconnect from ssh, but I had a detached screen session running, so I assume that kept me from logging out completely [05:22] I have Windows 7 partition and I would like to remove it so I have Ubuntu only.

[05:24] So if i hit the 'upgrade' button I wont lose anything? [05:25] nope Trfsrfr [05:25] MK`: I'm not really sure which one I would need to do. Would it be both /dev/sda1 and sda2? And why are the sda5 and 6 under sda3? [05:25] well I certainly can't guarantee that, but it will not touch your personal files [05:26] Mike98632: sda3 is what is called an extended partition. On MBR partition drives, you can only have 4 partitions, so additional ones are created by making one of them (sda3) an 'extended' partition and then making more partitions inside of it. [05:26] so is 11.10 a goo dupgrade? [05:26] good [05:27] sda1 is Windows's boot restoration thing, sda2 is the actual Windows install, you would remove both of them [05:27] MK`: I see. Thanks. Any idea what that sda6 is though? It says it's unknown and it looks like it has a warning. [05:27] Trfsrfr: good how? [05:28] Mike98632,did you encrypt your ubuntu? [05:28] aeon-ltd, good as in better than the version before it? [05:28] urlin2u: Ah that must be it. I did. Thanks.. [05:29] Trfsrfr: it has a later kernel, bug patches and some newer software so i'd say yeah, but if you like ubuntu how it is now why change it (unless you're using a ver. that is losing support) [05:30] anyone else experience a problem trying to install packages for python with easy_install or pip?

[09:52] let me check [09:52] It's just a terminal command right? [09:52] yes [09:52] Hades_Ubuntu: dont icons show up to your left side on a 'dash'?

[09:54] Hades_Ubuntu: open a terminal, the icon will show on 'dash' , pin it to the dash [09:54] no i what star it on demand [09:55] Hades_Ubuntu: once its pinned you get to do that [09:55] it's only start terminal [09:55] if you want to(only if you want to) run that command on startup, go to ~/.bashrc and add "rdesktop 192.168.1.1" to the very bottom [09:55] not commands like this - rdesktop 192.168.1.1 [09:56] its "- rdesktop 192.168.1.1"? [09:56] i want just simpl icon (windows shortcut) to start custom comman [09:56] like rdesktop yes [09:56] Hades_Ubuntu: If you hit Alt+F2 though and type in that rdesktop line, it will be stored in that history. [09:57] history in F2 inst resolve problem for users [09:57] Hades_Ubuntu: you want icon, the icon for terminal FIRST has to be pinned to the 'dash', from then on you can click till the cows come in [09:58] or i dont understand the relative ease of windows icon-ics, that could be too [09:58] how exactly do you add a shortcut/"desktop configuration file (application/x-desktop)" anyways [09:59] how do _stupid_ users start every time remote destop to the server? open teminal and type - rdestop ip...?

If you right-click that and choose keep, it will stick. Won't be on your desktop, but ...

I would like to access some files which is located in desktop folder from my Windows OS. Anyone know how to get it? [10:26] almoxarife: isn't aplay -D the test for picking the right output ? [10:26] <[ptr]xyz> linocisco, you will need an IRC client [10:26] <[ptr]xyz> if you dont have one installed, you have to wait for apt-get to finish [10:26] <[ptr]xyz> and then install one. [10:27] <[ptr]xyz> a good one is xchat [10:27] slacker-: http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&biw=1470&bih=687&tbm=isch&tbnid=vwQfIw_Gv6URRM:&imgrefurl=http://alexsleat.co.uk/&docid=wBS6xWEBRipc-M&imgurl=http://alexsleat.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Screenshot-Sound-Preferences.png&w=678&h=594&ei=vfoTT8-CDYmhiQL6w_joDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=501&vpy=125&dur=2698&hovh=210&hovw=240&tx=132&ty=231&sig=113824504331948007641&page=1&tbnh=145&tbnw=165&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0 <-- to look [10:27] like the pic [10:27] [ptr]xyz: I have empathy installed [10:27] <[ptr]xyz> maybe it's already installed.

[10:28] DJones: hi bro. it is a bit confused GUI in 11.10. I dont know where to find [10:28] <[ptr]xyz> empathy uses libpurple as far as i know...so at least the backend should support IRC. whoever i dont know how to set it up there. never used empathy. [10:28] anyone has any idea ? [10:29] <[ptr]xyz> just press alt+f2 and type xchat [10:29] I have a question about apt and dpkg at the command line: is it possible to get a list of installed packages that have updates available, that could then be read from in a script? [10:29] <[ptr]xyz> maybe autocomplete with tab... [10:29] <[ptr]xyz> if it is installed, this should work. [10:29] almoxarife: ic. I just installed pavucontrol. see if that helps. it's pulse audio control [10:29] United7: open the file manager. On the left-hand side, your windows C: drive should be shown (it will not necessarily be called C:, maybe some other name). Click on that. it will mount the C: drive. then, you can access the Desktop under the Users folder. [10:29] rigved :- Will try that now..thank you :) [10:30] slacker-: the link i sent you shows 'profile' at bottom, that is where you would make changes to get the right hdmi setting [10:31] United7: you are welcome. [10:31] top of the moring ya'll [10:33] almoxarife: can I just play audio and click through the options or do i have to restart pulseaudio everytime? === alan_ is now known as Guest29595 [10:34] slacker-: using what to configure? [10:34] almoxarife: pavucontrol gives me lots of profiles but both HDMI ones don't seem to output sound [10:35] rigved :- what I can see under usr folders are :- bin,games, include, lib, lib32,local, sbin,share, src [10:35] slacker-: select the profile, then start the prog that would output sound [10:35] I have explored all the folders..didnt seem to find the windows desktop folder === jacob is now known as Guest64016 [10:36] almoxarife: I'm assuming the prog that would output sound should have pulseaudio selected as output module? [10:37] United7: no. the usr folder is on your Ubuntu system. you want to access the folder on your windows partition. if you followed the steps i told, the windows C: drive should be available under /media/ [10:38] United7: in your file manager, on the left-hand side pane, which names do you see? [10:39] slacker-: your app should be set to 'default' sound, what ever that is, like vlc out of the box, i dont mess with the settings, it works because it uses default , you are trying to set default sound [10:40] gyu [10:40] rigved :- http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/6/screenshotat20120116183.png/ [10:40] slacker-: and if not i assume you are perhaps the sound junky that i am not, i wanted my htc to work, and it does on default settings [10:40] it is the screenshot [10:40] va av av ava [10:41] Please have a look [10:41] vaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiiaaiai [10:41] almoxarife: I'm quite happy with default if it works but it doesn't [10:41] coming the polling [10:41] as [10:41] slacker-: you setting up a media center pc?

How can I update perl? [11:32] afeijo: there is no perl update from ubuntu if it doesn't show in your package manager [11:32] !info nginx [11:32] nginx (source: nginx): small, but very powerful and efficient web server and mail proxy. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.5-1 (oneiric), package size 5 kB, installed size 80 kB [11:34] Ok, so I managed to get the audio output via HDMI using speaker-test -D.... so how do I tell pulseaudio to use those settings? [11:36] ikonia, something else is wrong here, nginx configure command asks for perl 5.6.1, but the ubuntu here has 5.10.1, it is higher! [11:37] afeijo: you're probably missing the libraries and headers it wants [11:37] afeijo: why are you compiling nginx and not using the version from the repos [11:37] ikonia, because the version from the repos does not have the upload-progress module that I need === kryl99 is now known as testname101 [11:38] I installed the needed libs that I found out when I simulated all this in a virtual ubuntu serve from the same version [11:39] afeijo: looks like you're missing perl headers/libraries [11:40] libperl-dev is already the newest version. [11:40] maybe it's too new and the configure script can't work it out [11:41] that is weird [11:42] hi all I lost my WLAN after installing 11.10 on my lenovo B450 [11:42] I was checking http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1754456 [11:42] but my lspci show my WLAN ethernet controller [11:43] what do I do?

[12:13] wdp: libreoffice is openoffice, new name [12:13] only libre office [12:13] it is not the same although quite similar [12:14] well [12:14] it's a fork, but basicallly it's the same thing [12:14] i dont want libreoffice i want openoffice [12:14] and the installer tells me its openoffice [12:14] Oo [12:14] Trying to setup Transmission GUI but I can't for the life of me login, whitelist works fine but not the password [12:14] wdp: openoffice is dead, the new project taking over is libreoffice, which is based from the same code as openoffice [12:15] ts2, source that its dead? [12:15] wdp, the openoffice package in ubuntu is only a transitional package used to replace openoffice with libreoffice when openoffice was previously installed. openoffice is no longer supported on ubuntu [12:15] openoffice website doesnt tell anything about that [12:15] ts2, openoffice is not dead [12:16] glebihan, i see. sucks though. [12:16] SirFinkus, thanks, but that works, but do you know how to change alt+tab back to the way it used to work? [12:16] wdp, why ? they're the same ? [12:16] no idea, sorry [12:16] glebihan, if they're the same, why name them differently? [12:16] SirFinkus, ok thanks anyway [12:16] wdp, political issues, which lead to the fork [12:17] glebihan, if its a fork, they're not the same. [12:17] and i prefer the original. [12:17] wdp, mostly licensing issues [12:17] wdp, well at first it is [12:17] wdp, name one difference [12:17] the icons :> [12:17] . [12:17] wdp, yeah sure...

She knows "openoffice" and uses it. As soon as she see's "libre"office she will ask me what that is. Then the icons aren't looking the same, and as it's a fork i'm sure there are more difference. probably growing differences over time (thats the usual idea behind a fork - implementing / changing stuff which wasn't possible to change in th [12:21] e original) [12:21] wdp, by the time differences matter, she would be used to it [12:21] glebihan, keeping that in mind, i'd prefer to stick to the original if possible. However, i don't want to go through the steps of installing it manually. seems i have to stick to libre then. [12:21] but right now its practically identicle [12:21] wdp, at the time, I can guarantee you there are pretty much no noticeable differences apart from icons [12:21] alright. thanks.

[13:21] i will try and give feedback, thx [13:21] I'm using a ssh tunnel to access it anyway, it doesn't really matter. [13:21] ash it;s already installed [13:22] geirha: sorry to abuse your help :D but one more question if you can :) - if i setup the dirs like that..how can i force a user that creates a file there with nautilus that the file will become 550 or 770 [13:23] MonkeyDust: yes [13:23] xsl: You cannot, not with conventional file modes anyway. [13:23] sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit [13:23] geirha: i tryed setting umask on users profile and in global profile.. and its never donne [13:24] sorry my fault [13:24] the trick i have is a cron job that chmod -R the directories from time to time [13:24] xsl: POSIX ACL could do that [13:24] xsl: You could set a umask in /etc/profile, but users may override that with their local ~/.profile. However, even with the most permissive umask, files will NOT be created with execute bits set [13:24] here we go [13:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/806176/ [13:25] llutz: i will take a look at POSIX ACL ty [13:25] geirha: yes.. i have that problem [13:25] i use ubuntu to serve ltsp desktops [13:25] '62 [13:25] and i have a /opt/shared/files/ that users create files that should be used by all [13:26] xsl: you really don't want files to have execute permissions by default though [13:26] geirha: i dont need execute permissions... i just need the 550 or 555 [13:26] oops [13:26] 666 [13:26] rw [13:26] :) [13:26] xsl: stop it now [13:27] ikonia: sorry it was not my intention to flood [13:27] monkey tu es belge ?

Now I want to change hardware platform to i686 from i386 when upgrade to oneiric how ? [13:29] cvam: 386 = 686 [13:29] cvam easiest and safest is to backup important data and do a fresh install [13:29] cvam: it's just wording, it should really be "x86" [13:29] cvam: You mean upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit? That's not really supported, and will be very complicated to do. I suggest you do a fresh install instead. [13:32] cvam, there is no safe way to upgrade to 64-bit. If you have a separate /home partition and other strictly data partitions , you should be able to keep those, wipe the rest and do a fresh install of 64 bit. [13:32] cvam, and *always* make a backup a first... [13:34] is there any way to backup the whole system ie if firefox(with bookmarks,history ),eclipse (with codes, projects) and all other apps [13:35] !backup| cvam [13:35] cvam: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [13:35] cvam: on the one hand you need to store a list of your installed programs (see !cloning for that), and on the other you need to backup your /home [13:36] cvam I use this http://paste.ubuntu.com/806187/ [13:38] Which manager behaves the most like Windows Explorer?

[13:38] hi how to install java [13:38] !java | juniour__ [13:38] juniour__: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [13:39] hi how to install java [13:39] juniour__: you've just been answered [13:41] Hello people! What is the easiest way to convert VCR to digital on Ubuntu? [13:41] There is none, LABcrab . [13:41] No easiest way. [13:42] LABcrab, hire someone else to do it [13:42] Heh [13:42] It'll take a TV Tuner card, a VCR, and a recording application. Simply put, it's going to be a 1:1 time dilation, minimum. [13:42] In Vista it's simply VLC and there you go. [13:43] LABcrab: so use VLC? [13:43] That's wonderful. [13:43] Point? [13:43] i understand it will take me as long as the video is. [13:44] what hardware works well with Ubuntu? [13:44] Psi-Jack, pfifo you're both wrong. [13:44] !tv | LABcrab [13:44] LABcrab: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out and !UbuntuTV [13:44] the easiest way for a vcr to digital conversation is to buy the dvd. [13:44] :D [13:44] LABcrab, if you are proficient in Audio/ Video editing and you do it a lot, check out Ubuntu Studio. [13:45] maybe. [13:46] ciao! [13:48] how to install java [13:48] juniour see up, you've been answered [13:50] who the hell kicked me [13:50] wt you think of [13:50] you [13:50] ......

[13:50] * wdp giggles [13:50] hi, I have a really basic question...I have an ubuntu server that I can connect to as myusername, I am the only user and if I use sudo I get admin priviliges. Q. Is there still a root user that I don't know the password for ??? [13:50] no i am not askin the sam e ques [13:51] i got result i worked on that [13:51] !java > juniour this tells you how to install it [13:51] juniour, please see my private message [13:51] but tha solution dodnt work [13:51] OpenJDK is awesome [13:51] that y i ask again [13:51] juniour: then say so, and explain. [13:51] k [13:51] mosx1: there is still a root user, and that root user has an "invalid" password, so you literally cannot login (or su to root) using that password. It is recommended you keep it that way. [13:51] juniour: how did it not work? what didn't work? what were you stuck at? just keeping saying "how to install java" is of no use. [13:52] every one is here to help or take somethin [13:52] #openstack [13:52] we dont have time [13:52] k [13:52] I'm connecting with FileZilla and getting permission denied while trying to upload files outside of www [13:52] juniour: you're making no sense. please ask your question in a comprehensible manner, or you'll just be kicked again.

[13:53] !patience | juniour [13:53] juniour: 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/ [13:53] juniour better explain what you did and tried before you came here for advice [13:53] ya i know [13:53] man [13:53] i am since 2009 [13:53] [mosx1]: maybe you can activate root passwd using: sudo passwd [13:53] juniour: enough. *ask your question*.

In capabilities should say if is "agp" or "pciexpress" [14:31] mosx1: then you need to start filezilla with gksudo [14:31] so I did log on and ran sudo passwd to try to enable the root account [14:32] mosx1: that's not a good idea. [14:32] m4v, i will do ,thanks [14:32] which seemed to work except that the root account cannot connect at all to the ftp server [14:32] mosx1: filezilla? ftp? you don't want to use ftp as root [14:33] ok, then what should i be doing to create new sites in /etc/apache2/sites-available using ftp? [14:33] Is there any way to use GNOME 2.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 or later distro which comes with Unity by default? (I'm not an unity fan.. no offense) [14:33] or should i not even be using ftp to do that? [14:33] Bruce_Wayne: no, just use Gnome 3 [14:33] mosx1: you don't, use ssh for this [14:33] sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [14:33] mosx1: using FTP to modify stuff in /etc does seem quite scary. [14:34] hey [14:34] has anyone else experienced trouble installing xapian on ubuntu 10.04? [14:34] !notunity | Bruce_Wayne [14:34] Bruce_Wayne: 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 [14:35] robinduckett: I don't like GNOME 3.0 much either.. :( I like standard gnome which came till Ubuntu 10.10.. which's support is expiring on the release of 12.04 ... & I'm very much confused on the road ahead. [14:35] hmmm. maybe somewhat unorthodox i guess. b/c i am a windows guy so am wanting to download the config files on my server, edit them in notepad++ and then upload them again. [14:35] bad idea? [14:35] mosx1: really bad idea, learn to use ssh [14:35] i know how to use ssh, just not vi [14:35] mosx1: if you have to, then copy the files to your user's home first, use scp to transfer them and then put them back [14:36] mosx1: use whatever editor you like, there isn't only vi [14:36] you could use nano instead :> [14:36] mosx1: Nano? [14:36] * Humbedooh awaits to be pelted with tomatoes [14:36] mosx1: and yeah, there are many editors, including easy-to-use ones. [14:36] nothing wrong with nano. [14:37] ed, pico, vim, emacs, joe, ... 2 million other alternatives [14:37] hay [14:37] ok. how do i go about reversing the sudo passwd that iu did? [14:37] microsoft notepad :> [14:38] mosx1 explain more [14:38] mosx1: sudo passwd -dl root [14:38] sure - your point is that text editing is easy and i should be able to use whichever one i like right? [14:38] i choose - notepad++ [14:38] anyone can help installing xapian? [14:38] mosx1, short answer: yes. Long answer, you should choose an editor suitable for the job at hand [14:39] quick question [14:39] if i want to do web development and tests on ubuntu, should i get normal ubuntu [14:39] mosx1: if you really want to do it your way, you can. Alternative, less complicated solutions are being offered [14:39] or ubuntu server [14:39] LukeNukem: i'd say normal ubuntu [14:39] note i want to do stuff like install a mail server and stuff [14:40] LukeNukem: well, either will work really [14:40] mosx1, if you like Notepad++ you might like programming editors like Bluefish or even a full blown IDE. [14:40] you can do either, ubuntu server is going to be faster because it doesn't have all the graphical overhead [14:40] LukeNukem: but if you also want to develop and test with browsers, you will want a GUI i suppose [14:40] of course [14:40] ubuntu has a gui -_- [14:40] LukeNukem: Server does not by default [14:40] LukeNukem: Not on server by default [14:40] LukeNukem: but you can still install it, so, it's your choice really. either will work. [14:40] ohh... [14:40] whats server intended for then? [14:40] LukeNukem: uh... servers? [14:41] LukeNukem: Serving? [14:41] LukeNukem: servers typically don't have a GUI [14:41] XD [14:41] o.o [14:41] mosx1, if you can afford to spend some time learning an editor and get lightning quick with it in the long run, choose vim or Emacs [14:41] Stereocaulon: I'm not trying to be obtuse - just that I have server installed and don't wish to use a gui on the server [14:41] once the webpage is ready to hit the web, use the server distro [14:41] you mean its what those web hosting services use right [14:41] they can have web based Interfaces tho' :) [14:41] LukeNukem: not just web hosting services. my home server doesn't have a GUI. [14:41] mosx1, both editors I mentioned run perfectly outside a GUI [14:41] I think I've done an ok job of creating a secure setup. [14:41] nice, iwas just using web hosting services as an example [14:42] so im thinking LAMP would be good? [14:42] lamp would be okay [14:42] I'm using SSH for remote with RSA keys and SFTP for uploads. [14:42] if you like lamp :) [14:42] mosx1: secure setup with enabled ftp/ssh for root? not really [14:42] mosx1: so you want to sftp in, download a file, edit the file, and upload it again. Rather than edit it on the server? [14:42] * Humbedooh prefers... lasl o.O [14:43] yes, exactly [14:43] mosx1: then you have a solution [14:43] what is lasl? [14:43] linux apache sql and whats the last l for [14:43] linux, apache, sqlite3 and lua :p [14:43] llutz....well i have just disabled root again, lol [14:43] i prefer mysql [14:43] with phpmyadmin [14:44] is it possible to do an online defrag of ext4 these days? If so, how do you go about doing so? [14:44] Ivoz: no [14:44] Ivoz: i don't think it's even possible to do an offline one anymore, with Ubuntu [14:44] good morning folks [14:44] you see it's not just editing, it's setting file permissions, creating files etc [14:45] quick question on apache2, not sure if its the issue or is it just me [14:45] it's just you :) [14:45] and before all the guys start to cry "ext-fs won't fragment": you're wrong, it does! [14:45] running ubuntu 10.4 LS and i had everything working fine [14:45] so you all are major nerds? [14:45] :D [14:45] LukeNukem minor [14:45] definitely major [14:45] llutz, it does, sure, but not as horrible as other systems :> [14:45] dyndns screwed me and took my host [14:46] me too, but im not very good at linux so yeah [14:46] * LjL fragments llutz_ [14:46] you know them linux got commands n shit [14:46] LukeNukem, family friendly language please [14:46] my computer teacher is so dumb, she said linux is fragile and if it is turned off directly from power input it will crash o.o [14:46] true^? [14:46] so i had to update everything and all works except my website [14:46] LukeNukem: uh, just like Windows will (or rather, can potentially) [14:46] no, it will shut down :> [14:46] i can ssh to the new host provided by dnydns [14:47] How do I flush the arp cache? [14:47] Humbedooh: sure but still odd that there's no way except copying the whole fs to defrag [14:47] depends on your definition of "nerd", I myself like the name "Geek" better... old story.. the nerd vs geek flamewars, now we are on the same side. [14:47] no i meant like from the UPS [14:47] we're veering a tad offtopic [14:47] just turning off the ups directly [14:47] yeah btw i meant geek :) [14:47] !offtopic [14:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:47] what could be my problem [14:47] LukeNukem, to some extent. Especially if that system still uses a non-journalling system [14:47] its pretty old computers at my school o.o [14:47] LukeNukem: if you cut power to a computer, in any way, you will risk data loss and, with certain filesystems (such as ext4 and NTFS), data corruption. [14:47] Mcl0vin, that would probably be a question for #apache or similar channels [14:48] So is it possible to do an offline defrag on ubuntu? I've nearly filled my partition up quite a few times, so I wanted to make sure it was still functioning well [14:48] LukeNukem, try a fdisk -l if you have the rights to do so, that will show you what FS types are being used [14:48] Humbedooh: so you were right , its just me lmao [14:48] hi [14:48] i think they are on 10 or something, i dont know why they dont upgrade. [14:48] but windows based schools are using 98 or something [14:48] any idea how to disable Krusader to save temp files ? [14:49] LukeNukem, probably because 10.04 is a LTS edition [14:49] Stereocaulon, i notice that it has a lot of educational stuff in it, whatever is in the text its in the OS as well [14:49] I made a graph of nerds vs geeks, GegoXAREN. it's a Venn diagram. [14:49] the programs for it i mean, like GIMP [14:49] and PhET [14:49] Nerds are on once side, geeks are on the other, and the people who care about the difference are in the middle [14:49] :D [14:49] I've run windows 7 on systems with less ram than its official requirements. Runs absolutely fine without aero [14:50] Ivoz: there used to be a tool called "defrag", but it's been removed from Ubuntu (and before that, it was made to refuse to work on ext4) because it was unreliable on it, apparently. [14:50] Ivoz, yeah me too [14:50] Ivoz: so short answer, no, you would have to reformat [14:50] ran it on a pentium [14:50] with 512 mb ram [14:50] !ncurses|me [14:50] please, the "nerd" vs "geek" topic etc, let's move it to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:50] that's sad. thanks LjL, llutz [14:50] Nerd = science, maths, physics [14:50] !ot [14:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I just by new ATI grahpic card, bat ubuntu take only VESA driver, is it normal? [14:53] Pooky5: run Jockey and see if there is a proprietary driver for it [14:53] ok, s I'm here -> /etc/apache2/sites-available and I issue this command: sudo cp mysite.com mynewsite.com [14:53] LjL: that command just returned. no output [14:53] So would ubuntu support Nvidia 9500GT?

If you install a program through synaptic that needs it, the ncurses libs will be included automatically.

[14:55] LukeNukem: linux has *alot* of drivers [14:55] Ivoz: just remember "e4defrag" [14:55] yeah i will need to look for unoff ones [14:55] LjL: it comes with e2fsprgs, starting with precise [14:55] llutz_: yeah, i checked [14:55] i used osx86 ones [14:55] LjL: righteo.

I would have expected a new file to have been created in the current directory. [14:56] LukeNukem: linux worked with a dick smith random bluetooth adapter I had, which only had advertised win/mac drivers, just fine [14:56] LukeNukem: nope no clue [14:56] nice [14:56] brb [14:57] LukeNukem, considering the things you are discussing, you would find #ubuntu-offtopic more suitable, this channel is strictly for Ubuntu installation related issues [14:57] mosx1: i don't see anything wrong, it should work if you're in that directory [14:57] okie dokie [14:57] btw. this is debug log from jockey - http://pastebin.com/mV23KCVi [14:58] Any idea why I wouldn't be able to ping a device even though I have used "arp -s" to give it an entry on my box?

[14:58] Pooky5: how noisy. well i don't know why you can't install one, but if you install the other, remember you need to reboot [14:59] Ljl: I install the other and reboot, bat it still says it use VESA [15:00] sskalnik: uhm i see now why you wanted the other arping, this one requires an IP address... [15:02] LjL: Exactly [15:03] "I won't lie to you, I harbored some very deep misogynistic thoughts as a result and though I got over them I still have a special kind of hatred for pro-circ women."

[15:06] ActionParsnip: i have heard bad things on ccsm [15:06] One quick question, how do i know if my bootloader is grub or lilo ( in a remote server - i dont see it boot ) [15:06] can i deinstall it how? [15:07] cordoval: thats where you configure the effects in Oneiric [15:07] and i have both packages installed === lonewolf is now known as dropkickert [15:07] cordoval: if you use Unity and not Unity2D then compiz is performing the thumbnail drawing and is configured in ccsm [15:08] cordoval: you could try pressing ALT+F2 and run: unity --replace [15:08] xsl: file -s /dev/sda [15:08] just did === mike is now known as Guest2694 [15:08] Hi === Guest2694 is now known as silameth [15:09] xsl: For GRUB, that will return "x86 boot sector, GRand Unified Bootloader, ..."

[15:10] LjL: lol some quick googling on "verify grub install" brought me to this [15:10] i like to use file when people don't know what filesystem a partition is [15:10] I have a question about updating 10.10 [15:10] thanks ActionParsnip [15:10] so run this everytime? [15:10] or is a one time setting? [15:10] cordoval: does it fix it? [15:11] yes, I have the problem the mouse goes rcazy randomly [15:11] cordoval: then yes, if it fixes it [15:11] now the orange positioning circles are gone but still goes crazy [15:11] ok [15:11] i hope that was it [15:11] cordoval: could try the newer version in PPA [15:11] thanks man, so how is unity2d different from unity? [15:11] i have a 1.5 GB video card that gets unused [15:12] but when i run it on my asus it burns [15:12] cordoval: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-unity-5-0-in-ubuntu-11-10/ [15:12] cordoval: unity2D uses no compositong and will run on any video card. Unity uses 3D accelleration [15:13] so which is better for me? [15:13] which is cooler [15:14] ActionParsnip: [15:14] Unity 5.0 hit Ubuntu 12.04 last night, [15:14] oh so it is the latest === bil21al_ is now known as bil21al [15:15] what joys does unity 5.0 bring [15:15] I have an error when I try to run updates, it appears to be a key issue. [15:15] is there any way to remove and replace the keys? [15:16] cordoval: are you using 12.04? [15:16] no [15:16] Gentoo64, I hop the joy of being able to switch back to proper Gnome2? [15:16] Gentoo64: check the link [15:16] but i want to if that is the latest [15:16] Stereocaulon: its dead upstream dude [15:16] I'm using 12.04 Alpha 2. :) [15:16] and my version is 10.10 [15:16] ActionParsnip, I know, you can always dream...

You can always jump to XFCE which is made using GTK3 and will look and smell like Gnome2 [15:17] compdoc: many things are possible :) [15:17] compdoc, highly unlikely. [15:18] ActionParsnip, I did move forward, I´ m now running LXDE and I like it. [15:18] oh yee of little faith [15:19] Stereocaulon: me too, it uses GTK3 too. LXDE rocks hard [15:20] compdoc, if the present day Unity is a nightmare when it comes to getting things done I am looking from a distance, while keeping a more productive DE at hand. [15:21] compdoc, ActionParsnip , The unity between smartphone, TV (latest project) and Desktop is enticing, but it should not ignore the specifics of different UI´s and usage patterns. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [15:21] on 11.10 unity I want to chage the default app. I have system settings, default apps open, but there is only one browser available. I want to change from Firefox to Iron. Or whatever. What am I missing [15:22] opalepatrick install the other browser first [15:22] It is installed MonkeyDust [15:22] opalepatrick, probably it is not recognized internally for being a program of the browser category. [15:23] opalepatrick: if you check in /usr/share/applications for the iron.desktop file, make sure it matches the mimetype matches the one from the firefox file [15:23] opalepatrick, there´s probably some XML trick to add it to that category, but I wouldn´ t know how. [15:28] editting the desktop file is far easier ;) [15:29] hey will ubuntu run kde apps?

[15:33] silameth: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192 will add it, if you use add-apt-repository instead of modifying sources.list you won't get this [15:34] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [15:35] loen: excellent, i am moving from mageia to ubuntu,.. i had a sound issue on mageia for an asus m4n78 pro.. [15:35] i think that ubuntu can run it fine [15:35] opalepatrick: Is it the same 'categories' too? [15:36] wow that's a blast from the past. [15:36] hey guys. Ive installed mediawiki through apt-get but I dont know where I can access it. Please, can someone tell me?

[15:42] Humbedooh: apache2 folks think its ubuntu did something with httpd [15:42] MrDeso: on a server normally you want stable and tested software and not new software which is not tested so long [15:42] Mcl0vin: so ubuntu 10.04 or debian 6.0 [15:42] iceroot, I have to uncomment the Alias, and copy everything into the /etc/apache2/apache.conf? [15:43] dbugger: just uncomment the alias [15:43] ubuntu 10.04 [15:43] and restart the server, i guess [15:43] dbugger: normally there should be a symlink from the mediawiki/apache2.conf to the apache-dir [15:43] yeah, that worked :) thanks :) [15:43] Well they weren't ActionParsnip, it is now, but no difference [15:43] is it worth trying a reboot?

[15:56] linuxguy101: Synaptic is the default GUI package manager, but I use aptitude and apt-get [15:56] ah ok [15:57] synaptic isn't even installed on the 11.10 desktop version.. there is a "software center" though.. not sure if it's got another name [15:57] It's nice and pretty like Yum, so that may be what you were thinking of. [15:57] hello, I uninstalled unity in ubuntu 11-10, but when i try to reinstall it the unity panel doesn't start and the launcher neither. What should I do? [15:57] Slart: sure about that? I am on 11.10 desktop and synaptic is definitely here. [15:58] sskalnik: I reinstalled three days ago.. I had to install synaptic because I was annoyed with the software center [15:58] Hi all I have problems w/ my ext4 partition, e2fsck gives me very many multiply-claimed blocks. What can I do?

[16:00] sskalnik: No, it's not. It doesn't come preinstalled with Oneiric. [16:00] hmm.. I'm starting to wonder if I'm remember wrong [16:00] theadmin: Really? I may stand corrected, but I could swear it came default with my install of Oneiric.

I just shared my Music folder over my home network using Samba. I did it by right clicking the Music folder in Dolphin, clicking Properties and Share. If I log off my Linux account, will the share continue to be there for others on the network after logging out? It doesn't ask for a password for system wide settings. That's why I ask.

I chmod the folder a=r but still no luck :S [16:06] JustMozzy: To cd into a folder it has to be readable AND executable, i.e. rx or rwx [16:07] phil88: i'd double-check your backups, to be on the safe side. [16:07] theadmin, thanks :) [16:07] JustMozzy: Just "r" allows you to view files in it but not ls/cd the folder itself [16:07] sipior: I did it with dd_rescue [16:07] theadmin, good to know :) thanks for the help :) [16:09] ok allready [16:09] what next [16:09] JustMozzy: np [16:10] hey guys, I am having a hard time figuring this out , I want to download a file with wget to my local computer from a remote server via ssh === Vaelstrom is now known as Vaela [16:10] Is this possible and what would a sample command be?

[16:18] phil88: guess you're in trouble. double-check that you're passing the right arguments to ncheck first, though. [16:18] grizzlybearjr, Yes. ubuntu-desktop is a mta package. Here is all its details: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ubuntu-desktop&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all [16:18] meta package* [16:18] sipior: yes I did, I checked it at least 5 times [16:19] llutz: Do you know a way to specify going up a directory, or to root, in the path specified in SCP, it logs my user by default into my home directory when I need to transfer a file in a directory outside of it.

[16:20] /quit [16:20] elijah: scp user@host:/path/to/file /localpath/ [16:20] grizzlybearjr, I can't seem to find anything about ubuntu-core in the official package listing though [16:20] grizzlybearjr, But I'd say that "desktop" is the extra applications, and core is just the OS. Just going by the names. [16:21] hey, what is ubuntu running on there live cd? is this gnome, or kde? or what? lol [16:21] linuxguy101, depends on what iso you download [16:21] Starminn: I wanted to go for minimal install, wondering if core will be enough to get a desktop.

[16:27] what is the best way to enter into open source programming, specifically ubuntu and gnu?

[18:57] ZereF: without an IP even with a route it wouldn't work [18:58] i've gone through this setup twice, sigh [18:58] mariya: try it, you can always boot to root recovery mode or even live CD and undo it [18:59] probaply, I alredy have found a way, be right back [19:00] How do i run a debug on a python script in terminal?

[19:50] urlin2u: that's a claim all right, but it's not unsubstantiated [19:51] MFen, no real substance hear but a opinion. [19:51] MFen: you think it's canonicals fault cause you can't burn an .iso [19:51] lmao [19:51] the substance is the fact that this is reproducible, and has been reproduced, and the reproduction has been documented, in the thread which i quoted and referred to in the same claim you are quoting [19:51] Hi, can someone *not* located in Germany ping linuxtoday.com, we're currently three which have 100 percent package loss.

[19:54] Okay, great, thank you. We've tried webproxy and downforeveryoneorjustme and it worked. Odd. [19:54] i mean, that's my problem, that wasn't literally me [19:55] apt-get install msttcorefonts works just fine for me [19:55] anyway i guess there's no known solution for mounting it in a mac, or you all would have said so by now [19:55] E: Unable to locate package ttf-mscorefonts theadmin [19:55] y2E0: ISS, no, come on.:D [19:55] !find corefonts [19:55] Found: ttf-mscorefonts-installer [19:55] mang0: That ^ [19:55] ah, installer [19:56] :< [19:57] theadmin: I removed with apt-get, installed from terminal, and it's working fine.

[19:59] What's the go-to way for setting a program/command to autostart? [19:59] Not via GUI, that is [19:59] glebihan: Ah, thanks :) [19:59] chex_: initscripts, mostly. [19:59] chex_: is it a gui app? [19:59] mang0, you're welcome [19:59] Nope, it's Transmission [19:59] with a whole lot of parametres [19:59] or, args [19:59] well that was fun… umm ok , same question.. any idea how to tell reprepro to use a different pool path for a different distribution? === chris226 is now known as chacken [19:59] to my layman's eyes, those appear to be the same except one is marked ubuntu6 and the other is marked ubuntu6.10 - how can I get this to just be happy using the karmic packages? [20:00] chex_: Then just use the "Startup Apps" tool from Gnome [20:00] ie.. i have one repo.. 2 distributions supported (lucid and natty).. i want to have pool/lucid for all the lucid packages. and pool/natty for all the natty packages [20:00] theadmin: I've switched to LXDE for a more light-weight environment [20:00] Confoozed, you can't [20:00] any suggestions anyone might have for how I can get this to play nice would be greatly appreciated. [20:00] How can I find another program to bind to the PrintScreen key? [20:00] Confoozed: you can't really, not without manually modifying the packages [20:00] chex_: ln -s /usr/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop ~/.config/autostart/transmission-gtk.desktop will do it [20:00] And in Desktop Session Settings it wont appear [20:00] chex_: I use LXDE too ;) [20:01] oh. how can I get php 5.2 to work properly on oneiric? [20:01] Already have a link to it in ~/.config/autostart/ [20:01] I need it for drupal :/ [20:01] test [20:01] But it wont start [20:01] all the suggestions I've found suggest using the karmic packages... [20:01] Confoozed: i doubt there is another way.

[20:02] I'll look it up [20:02] Hi - how can I swap Scroll Lock and Num Lock keys? [20:02] chex_: its not the binary you link in there, its the .desktop file [20:02] Bleh all those des are confusing... In openbox I haz just ~/.config/openbox/autostart which is a freaking bash script :/ [20:02] Confoozed: Why can't you use php 5.3? [20:03] ActionParsnip: I simply copied another one of the .desktop-files I had there and changed the name and parametres [20:03] chex_: if you want special options, run: cp /usr/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop ~/.config/autostart/transmission-gtk.desktop; leafpad ~/.config/autostart/transmission-gtk.desktop [20:03] Though I set Hidden=true and NoDisplay=true [20:03] I tried xmodmap -e "keysym Scroll_Lock = Num_Lock" but it doesnt't toggle the setting [20:03] chex_: then edit the file as you need [20:03] Pici: it confilicts with Drupal6 [20:03] chromium seems dead anyone here is using the native client plugin? [20:03] I already did [20:03] or so I have been told [20:03] but with gedit, same thing I reckon [20:03] How can I swap Scroll Lock and Num Lock keys? [20:04] But I run transmission-daemon [20:04] chex_: same deal, leafpad is just default in LXDE [20:04] How do i exit the VIM edior??? -.- [20:04] for controlling remotely from my main PC [20:04] ro_70s, xmodmap is probably the most confusing program ever. there used to be a graphical frontend for it, it was called xkeycaps iirc [20:04] Pseudoephedrine: type this ":q!" [20:04] ro_70s, that made more sense, but not too much either [20:04] ro_70s: use xmodmap === xtr3m3_ is now known as xtr3m3 [20:04] I tried xmodmap -e "keysym Scroll_Lock = Num_Lock" but it doesnt't toggle the setting === ubuntu_ is now known as darkstar [20:04] ro_70s: im doing that but it just writed in the file... [20:05] ro_70s: no it doesn't [20:05] ie after setting scroll lock to numlock , it does neither === skay is now known as Guest42319 [20:05] Confoozed: http://drupal.org/node/360605 says that Drpual 6 / php 5.3 compatibility has been resolved. [20:05] Ы === dan__ is now known as Guest62347 [20:05] ro_70s: numlock is a modifier [20:05] chex_: you may want to add it in /etc/rc.local then, it will start it there. If you have a GUI why not use the GUI app.. [20:05] Pseudoephedrine: press escape first [20:05] ro_70s: you have to clear and set the modifier again [20:05] I created a new user, then ssh'd in with that user, then the connection was immediately closed by the server. The login/authentication seemed to work fine, and root can log in fine, my 'aegir' user just gets kicked right after logging in. Any ideas? [20:05] Pici: for core only - 3rd party modules still conflict :( [20:06] ro_70s: use xmodmap -pme to see the modifiers [20:06] ActionParsnip: I have no use of a GUI app since I will only control it remotely from my windows PC. It's my rather weak HTPC I'm installing it on and I want as much resources as possible for video rendering [20:06] so there is no way for me to run php 5.2 "properly" under oneiric? [20:06] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/a5w8QhXx [20:06] steveoliver: did you give the user a shell? [20:06] Confoozed: You may be able to find a ppa for 5.2 that is properly built for oneiric. [20:06] LjL: guess not... [20:06] gwelter is there a way to make xmodmap revert a change? OR do I ahve to relog in to see the settings since I've already changed them? :D [20:07] steveoliver: how did you create the user? you should normally use "adduser" (not "useradd") or the GUI [20:07] gwelter: ty , btw [20:07] i actually have php 5.2 installed - but it is causing all sorts of conflicts when I try to install other things that rely on php [20:07] chex_: Why transmission anyway? You can use some CLI client like rtorrent. Or Deluge, which is web-based. Or... yeah, many of them. [20:07] LjL: useradd [20:07] heya folks. http://pastebin.com/tkQCgUq6 <-- paste of "top" output, just curious if someone can have a look at it, i'm thinking someone else on this shared box is hogging the resources rather than me, but i'm a newbie so i'm not sure. [20:07] to boot with safevga, do you just add -- vga=safevga at the end of the boot script in grub? [20:07] lke php mysql, phpmyadmin etc [20:07] i've lost the password for my keyring is there anyway to reset it or remove it, as its rather annoying [20:07] theadmin: because Transmission had a convenient GUI Remote App for Windows [20:07] ro_70s: relogin or save the default modmap and reactivate that one [20:07] steveoliver: then either delete the user and re-create it with adduser, or manually edit /etc/passwd ("sudo vipw") and give the user /bin/bash as shell [20:07] gwelter: okay. thanks [20:07] chex_: Not *too* convenient. I find a web interface much more useful :D [20:07] LjL: I did adduser --system --group --home /var/aegir aegir [20:07] adduser aegir www-data [20:08] theadmin: I suck at management, I need all tabs I can have in my browser [20:08] --shell /bin/bash ? [20:08] And seeing as I'm used to using utorrent, transmission makes a good transition [20:08] chex_: Try qbittorrent. It's a utorrent clone, *literally*, and has a web interface. [20:08] Hello [20:08] steveoliver: why --system and --group?

[20:11] theadmin: I'll check it out, thanks [20:11] if someone could help, i'd be indebted [20:11] & really happy [20:11] chex_: always a pleasure, thanks for the gratitude :) [20:11] LjL: it's already set at /bin/sh [20:11] steveoliver, i have a guide on the TN loco site if you want to follow it shows you how to setup an ssh server for local use [20:11] this is my xbmc... i can't go without music or TV! [20:11] [ http://xdcc_167 ] [20:11] acidfrost: ssh server is working, as i can log in with root [20:11] (and stay logged in) ;) [20:11] theadmin: Judging from the looks of it and because of the fact that it's a web interface, I think I'll stick to transmission if I can get this to work [20:12] steveoliver, you don't have it set to chroot do you ? [20:12] steveoliver: then i don't know why it's kicking you out :( [20:12] acidfrost: not sure [20:12] chex_: It has a qt UI too, which works just as well (looks identically to the web one) [20:12] I'll try ssh'ing in from another machine [20:12] steveoliver, if its set to chroot and the user doesn't have permissions it won't let you in [20:13] !topic [20:13] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

[20:20] wendico: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image you will see the installed kernels and the metapackage. You can remove any you do not want except the running kernel or the metapackage [20:20] capleton, though please just /msg the bot [20:21] thanks guys [20:21] ActionParsnip: It still wont start [20:21] ActionParsnip: I ran ps ax | grep trans without any results :( [20:21] capleton, syntax: !topic [20:21] for example !nvidia [20:22] does do-release-upgrade automatically reininstall nouveau drivers even if proprietary drivers were already installed? [20:22] capleton, no [20:22] ah [20:23] What should I do to see a shared folder in Ubuntu network ? [20:23] TY [20:23] milen8204: from what OS are you trying to see the share? [20:23] actionparsnip: thank you, so i can use synaptic to uninstall not using kernels? do i need to uninstall more packages like linux-headers or only the linux-image... ? [20:23] hi [20:23] ActionParsnip, Ubuntu - Ubuntu [20:23] wendico: if you want to use synaptic you can, the other header packages will be marked for removal [20:24] ActionParsnip, bough are 11.10 [20:24] milen8204: on the client, you can run: smbtree and the LAN will be scanned for shares in CLI === el is now known as Guest81114 [20:24] actionparsnip: ty [20:24] ActionParsnip, thanks I will try [20:25] my laptop won't boot correctly, I get an error and a minimal shell, what shall I do? It displays "mout: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed:No such file or directory" and same for /root/sys and /root/proc [20:25] alright, i really don't understand. Why am I getting nouveau errors if I don't have the nouveau nvidia drivers installed? [20:25] capleton, you probably need to blacklist the module [20:26] how do i do that? [20:26] i need help, after a weird update the system delete my kernel image an i have to reinstall it but now i dont have gnome, internet conection and a turn of button... can you help me? [20:26] is it in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ? b/c i couldn't find it [20:26] ActionParsnip, I am connected trough rooter [20:26] capleton: whats the error [20:26] ir migth be normal [20:26] How can I kill gnome from the command line? it used to be sudo service gdm stop... [20:27] DrPoO: sudo service lightdm stop [20:27] capleton, one second its been awhile [20:27] milen8204: the interconnection is irrelevant, if there is a logical link, it will show [20:27] Gentoo64: i'll have to copy it again, let me try another reboot [20:27] capleton, cd /etc/modprobe.d [20:27] DrPoO: oneiric uses lightdm, why are you wanting to kill gnome? [20:27] capleton, then sudo [insert your editor of choice] blacklist.conf [20:28] acidfrost: from the grub shell? [20:28] or do i need to use a live disc? [20:28] ActionParsnip, I want to run a memory intensive program I wrote [20:28] ActionParsnip, but I `ve tried smbtree but nothing happen [20:28] capleton, i'd use a live disk [20:28] acidfrost: good idea to use gksudo incase a gui app is used ;) [20:28] DrPoO: you could press CTRL+ALT+F1 and kill the process there maybe. [20:29] ActionParsnip, should I have Samba ? :D [20:29] ActionParsnip: Just "sudo service lightdm stop" [20:29] ActionParsnip, I am not physically in front of the machine... [20:29] ActionParsnip, yeah i forgot that some users use gedit [20:29] milen8204: on the cserver, yes [20:29] theadmin, thanks that worked like a charm! :) [20:29] DrPoO: np [20:29] ActionParsnip, although if you run gedit as root it will retain root privileges [20:29] i need help, after a weird update the system delete my kernel image an i have to reinstall it but now i dont have gnome, internet conection and a turn of button... can you help me? [20:29] DrPoO: I see, then theadmin's command will fly [20:29] Gentoo64: The error (after a bunch of udevd errors) was [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Pointer to BIT loadval table invalid [20:30] acidfrost, therefore its gksu is kinda pointless [20:30] s/its/ [20:30] acidfrost: it can damage the ICEauthority file, makes issues. [20:30] Hey some one know how i get the wireless icon back on panel its gone? [20:30] ActionParsnip, i've never had an issue with just using sudo gedit [20:31] ActionParsnip, no I just have a laptop and PC connected in internet trough rooter, and I want transfer some files, could you help me to do that ? [20:31] capleton: no idea [20:31] ActionParsnip, though on the other hand you do want to use the vi for etc/passwd [20:31] capleton: but its not normal [20:31] acidfrost: one example: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/112187 [20:31] its kida frustrating not to see what wifi connection iam on :/ [20:31] Hello, i uninstalled old kernels thought synaptic but not other packages were marked for removal automatically. Computer Janitor suggest me to delete linux-headers but only related to one kernel, should i uninstall all the linux-headers related to old kernels? What other packages may i savely remove related to old kernels? [20:31] acidfrost: I frequently see questions like that on launchpad [20:31] randomly ubuntu 11.10 keeps freezing. I can shut down using ctrl, alt, del but the existing opended programs just won't respond. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how i can troubleshoot this? [20:32] acidfrost: sudo isn't suitable for gui apps, it doesn't set up the X environment correctly, gksudo and kdesu do that [20:32] kristoffer do you have gnome 3.x?? [20:32] my desktop is running 11.04 and as of last night, it has started shutting itself down. how do i find out why it's crashing? which log is the best place to start for that? in the brief time that it was up a moment ago, i saw in dmesg that it was remounting the drive a time or two. not sure if that's normal. compiz crashed like four times. [20:32] ActionParsnip: It worked without the su - chex -c [20:32] Dodm [20:32] qwebirc54665, no sorry i think i got gnome 2, ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS [20:32] DOdm [20:32] ... Didn't need to run the program as root [20:33] kristoffer: you can see what wifi you are conected to with the command iwconfig [20:33] chex_: sweet, I'd test it so it runs fully as expected :) [20:33] hi [20:33] wendico, yes but its hard to connect to another one if i cant get listed what network is up isent it? so thats why i need the wifi icon on panel if iam gonna connect to another wifi... [20:33] acidfrost: another I fixed in the same way: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+question/184814 [20:33] kristoffer mmm did you try to configure it whith compiz or ubuntu tweak?? [20:34] ActionParsnip, maybe the case with some files but blacklist.conf will be fine [20:34] acidfrost: notice in the follow up the user caued the issue again with sudo gedit... [20:34] and generally the idea of using a shell is to use a shell not a gui [20:34] and nano is more than usable for new shell users [20:35] qwebirc54665, hmm, maby in compiz, cuz i got an waring afther i put on a effect, then i pressed "delet automatic" before i relased what i deleted :S [20:35] its a good way to run apps, gui or not [20:35] nano is awesome :) [20:35] personally i use vim or vi if vim isn't installed ;p [20:36] kristoffer well... you can try to remove the networkmanager and reinstall it... just sayin... [20:36] i need help, after a weird update the system delete my kernel image an i have to reinstall it but now i dont have gnome, internet conection and a turn of button... can you help me? [20:37] qwebirc54665, hmm, then if i remove networkmanager from ubuntu software senter i dont lose my drivers to wificard? [20:37] hello ,i am on tango studio, (ubuntu 10.4) i like it [20:38] unity question: how can I access the notification area without mouse (system menu, user menu,...) ? [20:38] hey ke onda [20:38] kristoffer i dont know really and i think that prpbabli that is my problem right now...

(xubuntu the channel #xubuntu is kinda dead) [20:39] ActionParsnip, generally i don't use gui editors i find them too bulky, any how capleton sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf then add the line blacklist nouveau on its own line somewhere then push ctrl-x and follow the onscreen instructions [20:39] qwebirc54665, hehe kk, i will try ennyway ;) [20:39] I have an application that requires Ubuntu 10.04LTS, however, the dependencies it wants are of higher version than is available in the 10.04 Repo. Is it OK to use "too new" of a version of the dependencies on the Ubuntu 10.04LTS? [20:40] may i savety remove linux-headers packages related to old kernels? [20:40] acidfrost: I use echo piped to sudo tee to add lines to files :) [20:40] acidfrost: handy for helping users as it's a one command move ;) [20:40] wendico: yes, just keep the one before last [20:41] hi [20:41] guntbert: ty [20:41] I currently have wine UNistalled [20:41] ActionParsnip, yeah but it won't really help them in the long run as they don't understand what all of that does [20:41] how do I install it from source [20:41] its compiled already [20:41] ActionParsnip, that and i've never used tee [20:42] sightlight: reason? [20:42] wendico: you're welcome :-) and you can remove the kernels themselves too (linux-image-....) [20:42] sightlight, make install [20:42] make install [20:42] sightlight, though be very careful about which programs you choose to install from source [20:42] ill try [20:42] sightlight: before you "make install" [20:42] why doesn't ctrl+alt-backspace work anymore? [20:42] sightlight: keep in mind if you do that, you will probably not be able to uninstall it later. [20:42] sightlight read my last post [20:42] acidfrost: cat "some text to add" | sudo tee -a /path/to/file if you remove -a it will wipe the file and the stuff in the quotes will be the only content of the file [20:43] Chakravanti: You can re-enable it in the keyboard settings [20:43] sorry, not cat, echo [20:43] ActionParsnip, thanks for the info seems quite usefull [20:43] acidfrost: handy for scripts [20:44] Chakravanti: I suspect it was disabled to avoid people, who did not know about it, accidentally triggering it [20:44] LjL thats not entirely true most source installs provide away to remove most of the core although sometimes you'll be left with leftover libs and user files [20:44] !dontzap | Chakravanti [20:44] Chakravanti: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [20:44] yeah just really annoying having to hard off [20:45] ActionParsnip, yeah that was my thoughts exactly [20:45] Chakravanti: and you can use k too [20:45] its installing [20:45] Im trying to install ubuntu 10.04.3 server in vmware. Its saying no kernel found. I have an AMD dual-core CPU. Is there anything I can do before I end the installation (I did continue without installing kernel) [20:45] guntbert, thanks1 [20:45] tigrang: did you MD5 test the ISO you are using? [20:45] Chakravanti: no problem :) [20:46] anybody know how to find out why a machine would be shutting itself down in the middle of a session? started last night. nothing new installed since the 6th and nothing interesting in the kernel log (you can see here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/806651/ ) what else to check? [20:46] tigrang, you probably don't have a 100% iso, ubuntu doesn't provide away for you to install with out a kernel [20:46] caffine you check dmesg ? [20:46] ActionParsnip, acidfrost I did the test it said valid [20:47] caffine: There should be something in the logs. Your machine may have been compromised, or you have a hardware issu. [20:47] hey all, i changed my username after the face - edited /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd.... and renamed /home/user. i'm getting 'user not in sudoers file' - what else do i need to do?

Thanks [20:54] may i have a ubuntu installation with the /home folder on a NTFS partition? [20:54] wendico: yes. [20:54] well i have this server, with a has a virtual interface and the problem I am having is that no one outside the domain can see the webserver or vpn [20:54] wendico: /home on NTFS is a bad idea [20:55] wendico: VERY B - A - D [20:55] wendico: have a small /home of a few Gbs, then symlink your user data folders (like pics and junk) stored in the NTFS [20:55] JDeagle: Try #ubuntu-server [20:55] JDeagle, your using apache ? [20:55] yes [20:55] also thanks jutnux [20:55] yeah i'd try #ubuntu-server [20:56] Doesn't NTFS on ubuntu have issues with large files and file transfers becoming slower the farther they get into a file? [20:56] how can I see the network traffic speed on my NIC through the command line?

[21:01] vassagus, because 32-bit Ubuntu will run on all computers, and there's no harm in using it on 64-bit PCs unless you have more than 4GB RAM [21:02] if i use my /home (dedicated partition) only for system and programs files and symlink the highest occupation folders to a different partition (media folders, pics...) what would be a MINIMUM save size for the partition containing /home? [21:02] So if i have 8GB ram and core i7, i should install the x64 version, right? [21:02] vassagus: yes [21:02] vassagus, yep, or you wont get access to any more than ~3.5GB [21:02] vassagus: remember the target audience of Ubuntu, if someone with a 32bit CPU grabs the 64bit ISO, it won't work.

[21:09] thank you everyone.. let me study it.. [21:09] acidfrost: dmesg doesn't have anything useful. just the same stuff that's in the kernel log. the compiz crashes are different, but i would hope that's not bringing down my whole system. [21:09] anyone ordered stuff from the ubuntu shop? [21:09] No [21:09] djazz: why asking ? [21:09] waited two weeks for the stuff to arrive [21:09] and no email from them [21:09] !ot [21:09] #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! [21:10] i'm trying to set up X11Forwarding, I set /etc/ssh/sshd_config, X11Forwarding to yes and set ForwardX11 to yes in my client ssh config file, but the DISPLAY variable still isn't being set when " login using "ssh -X". any thing i'm missing? [21:10] caffine, cat /var/log/* | grep nouveau [21:10] they send the items. check you local mail [21:10] your* [21:10] acidfrost: can you use globbing with cat? [21:11] wow, didn't know [21:11] ActionParsnip, yea [21:11] ActionParsnip, all of the standard unix utils supports piping [21:11] acidfrost: cheers dude, learning all the time [21:11] ActionParsnip, the greatest thing about linux :P [21:11] DoctorD: ah it says "Good News! Your order has been shipped" [21:12] acidfrost: oh i know piping, just didn't know about using a wildcard for cat [21:12] i get a track ID, but i cant track it [21:12] ActionParsnip, yeah same works [21:12] id not found [21:12] acidfrost: thought it'd be: for i in blah blah... [21:12] You can also use wildcards in pathnames with grep, might display better [21:12] never heard it refer to globbing though ;p [21:12] is it possible to grep multiple words? [21:12] yeah [21:12] KBentley57: as in "and" or as in "or"? [21:13] djazz: please take it elsewhere - this is the ubuntu support channel [21:13] as in os only? [21:13] acidfrost: a wildcard is not special to cat. The shell expands the wildcard pattern into filenames, so it replaces /var/log/* to /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/syslog ...etc and THEN runs cat. [21:13] djazz: yes [21:13] Yes, OS only. [21:13] any help? not in my sudoers file? [21:13] !ot [21:13] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:14] tons [21:14] err, sorry meant ActionParsnip [21:14] arrrghhh: have you added your user to all necessary groups (including "admin")? [21:14] !egrep [21:14] acidfrost: also complains a lot about things being directories. :p [21:14] is there ubuntu for arm? [21:14] boo ubottu..lol [21:14] KBentley57, man egrep [21:15] LjL, i didn't add him to any groups. which ones are needed, just 'admin'? [21:15] caffine, yeah it will do that [21:15] KBentley57: extended grep syntax [21:15] caffine, if you want to expand it [21:15] thanks [21:15] arrrghhh: no, the main user is a member of several groups. i'll tell you what mine is a member of. [21:15] cat /var/log/*/* | grep nouveau [21:15] acidfrost: if the output i got is what you want, then i'm content with the results i already have. :) [21:16] only goes down a layer at time though [21:16] arrrghhh: ljl adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare (but this is Precise, so yours may be different - for instance you see here there is no "admin" but there is a "sudo"). start by doing "adduser youruser admin". [21:16] acidfrost: or: grep -R nouveau /var/log bit more graceful [21:16] caffine, i might have mistaken you for another user you did have the nouveau problem didn't you ? [21:16] -R owns my soul === dvd is now known as Guest66046 [21:16] ActionParsnip, grep has -R ? guess i'm learning too :P [21:16] Is there anyone around that can support Ubuntu 10.04 LTS?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:17] acidfrost: no. i have the machine that's shutting itself down for no good reason that i can find right now. [21:17] acidfrost, yeah i had you mistaken for another user then [21:17] err [21:17] caffine, sorry [21:17] LkL: Thanks! [21:17] acidfrost: though a video driver thing wouldn't surprised me, except that i haven't updated that stuff for a long time. [21:17] acidfrost: I have an application that requires Ubuntu 10.04LTS, however, the dependencies it wants are of higher version than is available in the 10.04 Repo. Is it OK to use "too new" of a version of the dependencies on the Ubuntu 10.04LTS? [21:17] caffine, cat /var/log/* | grep -R "shutdown" [21:18] deseee: It's usually ok to use a version higher than what is required [21:18] hi I am installing ubuntu server and it is not able to configure the network connection [21:18] deseee, yeah its fine [21:18] deseee, its usually a nightmare if you plan on updating later though what with the dependency spectrum [21:18] KBentley57: I mean the opposite of what you say- my version is too old on the 10.04LTS, and, we have a third software who's dependencies are too high [21:19] Ubluntu> What are you running? [21:19] I have three network interfaces available at startup, and the DHCP config fails with all of them. I have no idea how to configure it manually though === capleton is now known as cap_away [21:19] acidfrost: nothing interesting for the shutdown grep. just a few times that i've done it remotely from command line and wtmp matching. [21:19] deseee: let me make sure I have this straight. suppose you require version 1.0. is the version you have higher or lower? [21:19] acidfrost: Yes that's what I was afraid of, and, the "third software" is supposed to be working on the LTS because of what it works *with*. [21:20] thank for those that helped me with the swap file. it is loaded with each reboot.. thanks!! [21:20] mattosaurus: on a home, school, or work network? [21:20] acidfrost: i don't think it's really doing a real shutdown. it doesn't go through the whole thing. the cursor just freeze and then the system shuts down hard. [21:20] KBentley57: the version I have and that is the newest in the 10.04 Repo is lower. [21:20] KBentley57, school network [21:21] mattosaurus: wireless? [21:21] KBentley57, wired [21:21] mattosaurus, it's probably due to having a static IP [21:21] mattosaurus, I'm on my school network right now, I had to manually configure [21:22] Hi all! [21:22] KBentley57, hm ok. I suppose that makes sense. [21:22] I am having a few problems with Precise - maybe just with my installation [21:22] you need to find the ip address, subnet mask, gateway, and dns server info [21:22] !precise | janHolbo [21:22] janHolbo: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [21:22] Hi! [21:23] mattosaurus, go to another pc you can log into and do an ipconfig /all [21:23] mattosaurus, copy down the settings and you should be good to go, just change the ip address to something different [21:24] KBentley57, as acidfrost pointed out, if I manually install a newer version than I should, it makes upgrading in the future very difficult. The kicker is- this "third software" is more-or-less just a plugin for our "primary software" (both Linux apps). The primary software requires 10.04, and so, the "third software" should also, in turn, be working on 10.04, one would think? :) ... but it's dependencies are too high. Similar to what they [21:24] would be if they compiled using the wrong version# of Ubuntu. Do you know of a way to fix? [21:24] KBentley57, I have my laptop here running mint [21:24] I can't watch any clip from youtube, after i install ubuntu 11.10. what is my problem??? [21:24] KBentley57, would ifconfig show me what I need [21:25] ifconfig would only show you if you were already successfully connected [21:25] i have 2 files, one is -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9291 Dec 16 12:11 createInvoice.php and the other is -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9326 Jan 16 13:09 createRenewalInvoice.php [21:25] how do i make it so the 2nd file has the same permissions as the first one? [21:25] deseee, I suppose you could always uninstall the newest and revert to an older version if needed [21:25] brb [21:26] no that's still not what I'm asking. :( [21:26] I don't have ipconfig on linux [21:26] mattosaurus: ifconfig [21:26] mattosaurus, ifconfig [21:27] he said that wouldn't be enough info [21:27] mattosaurus, what info are you trying to find? [21:27] deseee, he said I needed the IP, subnet mask, gateway, and dns server info [21:28] deseee, to configure the network connection on an ubuntu server install [21:28] I've installed Eclipse 3.7.1 but when I try to run it from the unity launcher it complains of a lacking jre - ive added a path in .profile and I can run it from terminal - where do I add that path for the desktop? [21:28] I am plugged into a switch that is connected to my school's wall ethernet socket [21:28] mattosaurus, OK then ifoncifg will get you your internal IP on your network. The rrest of things, like subnet mask, etc, is all in your Router. [21:28] Anybody know how I can back to ubuntu before update? And who release last update? :( [21:28] can we place a picture on pastebin so i can get some help of my screen at boot [21:29] Maybe we should kill him? :( [21:29] LjL, I think (hope) it is a more general question not entirely related to precise ... [21:29] deseee, can I see that information from my laptop that is plugged into the router> [21:29] caffine, then you have something breaking xorg [21:30] mattosaurus, yes you login to the router when you corded to the router [21:30] deseee, could you not upgrade to 10.10 and fix the issue ? [21:30] acidfrost: i figured it was that low in the system, or worse. :( but hopefully something killing the kernel or thereabouts would generate some sort of log. [21:30] Rafael: sure, or imageshack or dropbox public folder etc [21:31] caffine, you have anything new you've installed (ie outside the repo) ? [21:31] acidfrost, Exactly- I cannot. The primary software specifically recommends 10.04LTS. I got no issue with LTS, per say, it's my "third software" that I need working that says it wants newer versions of a couple packages. [21:31] deseee, it is just a switch, not a router [21:32] nope. only thing i've done outside repo is node.js, but i'm not sure i've done that on that machine. and definitely haven't updated it for way too long. and not even running it on that machine. [21:32] deseee, i suppose the only way then is to install all of the dependencies manually [21:32] Hi... ubuntu 11.10 is giving me I/O errors every time I try to open a file on a DVD... its making me think the dvd is bad, any advice on how to check if that is true (and if so recover info from the DVD)? [21:33] mattosaurus, boy, you got me on that one! :/ [21:33] deseee, I can try plugging directly into the wall [21:34] deseee, if I could plug directly into the wall on my school's network, would I be able to see enough of what I needed? [21:34] sroy2: doesnt the dvd have a detect errors option? === cap_away is now known as capleton [21:34] mattosaurus, that will b the same as going thru the switch. You will have a better chance having your PC tell you the info you require if you boot Winblows. I know of no way to find those on Linux. [21:34] err... its a file I burned some file to before I moved over to ubuntu [21:34] I have two different commands, http://pastie.org/pastes/3197636/text Note that each one has different paths to the Gw.exe file. Why, when I start the 2nd one, does it use the path on the first one? O_o [21:34] acidfrost: i think you're right that it is something that's running that's killing it. those compiz crashes look a bit suspicious to me, but there are a bunch before the system dies. i'm currently running the machine without logging in to see if i can make it past the shortest time between hard shutdowns. [21:35] 11.10 install does not see my second video card (ati 5570). What do I need to do? [21:35] RokcStar: its just a DVD I burned files to before I moved over to ubuntu - as of now its the only copy of those files... :s [21:35] deseee, ok I have a windows box in the vicinity as well [21:36] deseee, so thhis isn't a total wash just yet [21:36] caffine i'd disable compiz temporarily then take a look at what plugins/modules you have running [21:36] mattosaurus, what did you need ? [21:36] mattosaurus, right oh! OK so connect the win box, ping google, and once up, goto connection settings. Info should be in there. [21:36] mattosaurus: does running ifconfig -a show you what you need? [21:37] how do you enable X11 forwarding? [21:37] ok ..maybe somebody can help me..i have ubuntu 9.10 on sofware raid md0-boot (raid1) , md1-swap (raid1), md2-system (raid 5), md3-home (raid 5), i have a crash and even though system appears to be working well i get the following screen at boot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/20120116104650458.jpg/ [21:37] jwage, no I need all the dhcp stuff I guess [21:37] acidfrost, Is there any way to install the higher package numbers needed without compiling each of the packages from source? [21:37] Rafael: was this a reboot after a crash? [21:37] deseee, you could add the 10.10 ppa though this might cause conflicts later [21:38] mattosaurus: if you configure your computer to use dhcp temporarily, ifconfig will show you the ip address and the subnet mask, and /etc/reslov.conf will contain the DNS address. [21:38] How can I make my laptop screen turn off when I close it, as compared to just staying lit? [21:39] matt23: Check out the power settings. [21:39] It's set to blank screen [21:39] matt23: doesn't it do that automatically? [21:39] but stays up with whatever is up [21:39] no. Maybe it's not pushing the button when I shut it? [21:39] mattosaurus: that's /etc/resolv.conf actually. Sorry. [21:40] pnorman...yes but it shows now everytime i boot the machine...the computer looks to be working fine, but it appears everytime, and that is why i was trying to get some help [21:40] What's the deal guys - there does not seem to be much in the way of info on using 2 video cards? Where can I find out info? [21:40] acidfrost, AAAaaah, OK yeah. Yeah that's an option. ... ... Well, thanks for the help! I wish it was easier answer for us :) [21:40] hybrid graphics, see ubuntu help [21:41] hybrid graphics appears to be about laptops? [21:41] yes, laptops and all-in-ones [21:41] deseee no problem [21:42] OK thanks anyway - bye [21:42] Is there a way to order the output of top by RAM and not by whatever it is doing by default? === rayston_ is now known as Rayston [21:43] Boreeas: htop is more pretty [21:44] Boreeas: M will sort by %MEM [21:45] anuszewan [21:46] can somebody help me with my question [21:46] anuszewan [21:46] Anyone have a suggestion for a good music player for Ubuntu 10.10 [21:46] !Patience|Rafael [21:46] Rafael: 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/ [21:46] Both Amarok and Exaile do not want to start either [21:46] auronandace, caffine: Thanks [21:47] Rayston: clementine is like the old amarok [21:47] kay, thanx [21:47] Rayston: try VLC [21:47] Wha [21:48] What was the pretty version of df again? [21:48] Rayston: i prefer vlc though, never been one for the large library apps like amarok [21:48] obelus: pretty how? df -h [21:49] Rayston: if you prefer those though another option could be rythymbox [21:49] caffine I mean, there was one that made nicer output, it had a percentage bar of free space on the mount as well. [21:49] caffine: sorry about the different nick, on two different computers :P === greentux_ is now known as greentux|ganteng [21:50] Greetings... Where can I find a good set of directions on HOWTO set up my Ubuntu 11.04 netbook (with wireless and eth) as a 'passthru' connection eth-to-wlan for another Linux box that needs internet access for installing (post system) software ? [21:50] acidfrost, Hey if I add the 10.10 Repo into 10.04LTS, wont it see updates for many many packs and want to update them? That would make it very non-LTS (if I'm not mistaken)? [21:50] jasef: ah. that's why i have stereo happening. :) i haven't seen the one that you're talking about, but it sounds neat. [21:50] deseee: it would break the distro [21:50] deseee, don't update via the update manager [21:50] salve amici [21:51] caffine: I'll have to ask my friend when school goes back. He found it for me in the first place, but I had to reinstall and forgot to backup my package list [21:51] deseee, you need to remove the ppa for 10.10 after you get the packages you need [21:52] acidfrost, AAAAAaaaaaa! OK I broke it one time by using UpdateManager after adding a "future" repo like that. :) hahhahahahah OK you two are making sense to me, now! [21:52] :D [21:52] bye! [21:52] thanx guys, trying clementine now [21:52] deseee, I really don't recommend adding a repo from a different release (and it will very likely not work anyway) [21:53] <_cb> what is the cli to display the DNS servers being used ? [21:53] glebihan, it's an "emergency" more or less ;) ... ... (malformed installer) [21:53] deseee: nothing good will come of this... [21:54] deseee, it's very unlikely to be better after that... [21:54] hello ppl [21:54] acidfrost: was doing some parallel testing and realized i don't know how to disable compiz on the machine for all the users. is there just a config setting for that? [21:54] caffine you could just remove compiz [21:54] we're trying to meet dependencies though... [21:54] acidfrost: another good idea. [21:54] caffine, a better solution though [21:55] caffine is to rename the compiz binary to compiz-old [21:55] _cb - I use nslookup and just watch were the response comes from [21:55] deseee, well, do what you want. You've been warned though, you're probably going to break your system [21:55] which would break the execution chain [21:55] _cb: cat /etc/resolv.conf [21:55] <_cb> thanks Pici [21:56] acidfrost: but it'll break at a point beyond where things will work? that is, it won't stop my desktop from working, just not enable the pretties? [21:56] glebihan, Thank You for the warning, it is mission-critical the soft runs, though, so we gotta try Something. :) [21:57] deseee: virtualization? [21:57] alrighty guys - cross ur fingers for me! :) [21:57] deseee: mission critical to me would suggest not doing something that will break your system causing more downtime. [21:58] acidfrost: i think we're on the right track, though. the last time it crashed, the only thing i was doing was abcde from a terminal window. now i'm sshed in and running abcde again and it seems to be running fine. so without the desktop stuff, it's fairly happy. [21:58] sup guys. what're we talkin' about today? compiz? [21:58] auronandace, Nope- there are prePhipreals that need to run including a NullModem receipt printer. This is all for a POS system. [21:59] deseee: then you'll likely get to see it go horribly wrong, have fun :) [21:59] caffine then its probably a plugin your using that might have a memory leak [21:59] pangolin, But if we cant do anything with the POS in question, then getting it's software to run correct seems like the right course of action [21:59] ... I have a second Linux machine in another part of the house (in a land far far away from any hardline, with no spare WiFi card), and I need to get internet access to that. Is there a way I can set my Ubuntu Natty on my NetBook up as a passthru (WiFi <-> Eth) for the remote machine ? I do have a CentreCOM 12-port Hub to link the NetBook and the remote machine. [22:00] Tucks: i'm the only one that might be having a problem with it. if yo know anything about raid, Rafael would probably love some help. :) [22:00] deseee: what is it you are trying to get installed? === raj` is now known as raj [22:00] pangolin, it's a PCI-DSS injection software for OpenBravo. [22:00] acidfrost: i spoke too soon. it just shut itself down without me logging in. [22:01] deseee: Do what you think is best I guess. [22:01] caffine, i'd disable network communications then if your compromised it shouldn't shutdown [22:01] caffine: Oh, lol! I hated that program. It was cool at first, but then it would just like break on me and either Unity or my Window Manager's process would get killed, and then I'd had to force restart my computer. =/ [22:01] PS -- I have succeeded in getting the NetBook and the older machine to talk and access each other. [22:02] how do i create a folder shortcut in the sidebar? Right click on the folder then ... [22:02] caffine, i'd also check your /var/log/auth.log & /var/log/auth.log.1(if it exists) [22:02] acidfrost: it's still not doing a real shutdown, though. it'll just die. with a proper shutdown, users that are sshed in will get that notification on their terminal. i didn't see that on either terminal. [22:03] caffine, i just thought a better approach is to run a live cd on it if it shuts down you've got a hardware issue [22:03] acidfrost: great idea. i'm starting to think it's hardware too. [22:03] hey is there a way to get telepathy to force open the chat windo on new message? [22:04] acidfrost: seems kinda silly to go to all that work compromising a box just to shut it down randomly when you could be doing "useful" things with your zombie. [22:04] i keep missing messages cause the indicator is so damn small..and temporary. [22:04] caffine, yeah but its annoying is it not ? [22:04] acidfrost: yes, it sure is. [22:05] caffine, most compromised boxes are just to toy with [22:05] acidfrost: okey dokey. well, i'll fire up the live CD to see what happens. thanks for your help! [22:06] caffine, if it doesn't shut down on the live disc its not hardware, which means that you could either attempt isolate the issue or you could just flat out reinstall and save your self some trouble [22:06] * HalfCentMan is feeling a bit like 'chopped liver'... [22:07] caffine, no problem its good for the community to know that there are places you can go and get help, when i first started using linux I didn't know of irc so i was usually left out in the cold on a lot of things [22:08] acidfrost: what was your first Linux distro and version ? [22:08] any of you with experience from "gconftool-2: error while loading shared libraries: libgmodule-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32" in ubuntu lucid ? [22:08] like what to do to fix this?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:11] rotfl [22:11] brb [22:11] pangolin, yeah i know but as you can see nobody has asked a question yet :P [22:12] i downloaded an IDE for web development called aptana studios, and i put it in b1lly/Applications (i created this folder) [22:12] how can i make it show up in the start menu on the left [22:12] or even in the applicatioons search [22:12] You can't. [22:12] acidfrost: that is why we should keep that channel clear of off topic so that people can ask questions. [22:12] I don't think, anyway. [22:12] wabism, system->preferences->main menu [22:12] jutnux: you talking to me [22:12] pangolin, understood [22:12] wabism: make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications [22:13] acidfrost: thank you :) [22:13] pangolin, hey gotta know who the ops are :p [22:13] i need keep ms/us sync in between a few ubuntu boxes, what's the best way to do time sync between them? [22:13] pangolin, better rephrased: gotta respect the ops [22:14] i.e all the ubuntu machine ideally have same timestamp [22:14] acidfrost: --- 443.7 [22:14] is ntp the only solution? [22:14] ActionParsnip: i'm in usr/share/applications whats a .desktop file and what do i need to put in it [22:14] acidfrost: Not a question of being an op. Anybody can help keep the channel running smoothly in fact we encourage it. [22:14] never mind, theres no applications folder, only the share [22:15] HalfCentMan, thats not too bad, though we need to move this convo to /msg [22:15] pangolin, i'm pretty sure i've seen you go op before [22:15] pangolin, anyhow i agree we should keep off topic chat to a minimum === jay is now known as Guest80684 [22:16] acidfrost: true, but at the moment I need to find out how to temp make my natty netbook into a passthru server to give an older machine running slack access to internet via eth <-> wlan link.. [22:16] wabism, its much easier to do if you goto system->preferences->main menu [22:16] anyone else have a chromium bugg, so window have double menu when it's not maximized ? [22:17] wabism: one that runs your command, if you open one of the others up you will see the layout. [22:17] acidfrost: i dont see a system->pref->main menu in my gui [22:17] HalfCentMan, http://www.ubuntu-tennessee.org read my sftp tutorial [22:17] ActionParsnip: theres no applications folder in /share/ [22:17] wabism, what distro are you running ? [22:17] hey [22:17] acidfrost: going there now... [22:17] acidfrost: great question, let me see [22:17] wabism s/sftp/open ssh server/ [22:17] wabism, err [22:18] I don't remember who was helping me earlier, but for future reference: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/12/13/create-a-virtual-monitor-power-button/ [22:18] can anybody give me a hand, im having trouble installing packages on my new install [22:18] wabism, sounds like you are using linux mint or lubuntu/kubuntu [22:18] acidfrost: I could be wrong, but I think HalfCentMan wants to make his laptop into a sort of router for his other computer, not an sftp server [22:18] Jay45: Whats the error message? [22:18] rebe, I use google chrome but I noticed chromium seems to be more of a testing ground for google chrome. [22:18] jasef, probably [22:18] i just moved to on campus housing and i think that the proxy with the uni network is blocking it [22:18] there is no error message [22:18] aBound, yeah chromium is behind chrome [22:18] just says ubuntu 11.04 [22:19] it just wont load [22:19] aBound: chromium is the open source version of Chrome [22:19] Jay45: Can you run this for me: ping 8.8.8.8 -c [22:19] 3 [22:19] wabism: /usr/share/applications is the folder where the files live that make up the dash [22:19] wabism, do you know what desktop environment your running is ? [22:19] jutnux, I know but google chrome based their browser on chromium. [22:19] acidfrost: CORRECT... [22:19] aBound, other way around [22:19] aBound: Other way round there mate. [22:19] ubuntu 11.04 codename natty [22:20] I want the other machine to SEE internet through the netbook.. [22:20] aBound: chromium is the open source chrome, occasionally they take a snapshot of chrom, add some proprietary stuff and call it chrome [22:20] aBound, the opposite is applicable. [22:20] Chromium is the open source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code [22:20] Hi guys, Is it normal, when I have Radeon HD6570 graphic and Ubuntu use "VESA" driver for it? [22:20] :P [22:20] Other way around. [22:20] :P [22:20] ActionParsnip: i understand that, but i dont have that folder /applications/ only /share/ [22:20] usr/share [22:20] Google chrome is based off of Chromium. [22:20] aBound: the bugs reported in Chromium help solve issues in Chrome [22:20] How do i run a python script so that it doesnt stop when i close the terminal?? [22:20] hi all [22:20] does anyone have any advice? [22:21] Pseudoephedrine, depends on the script [22:21] Pseudoephedrine, append an ampersand [22:21] aBound: explains it well: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=380b7ffc5d845696&hl=en [22:21] acidfrost: is there a command to tell me? [22:21] Jay45: do you need to configure the proxy to browse the web? [22:21] acidfrost: I basically want to link the two devices in the netbook (eth0 and wlan0) together as a passthru for the other machine. [22:21] ActionParsnip, I know chromium is more bleeding edge whereas chrome is more of the stable version of chromium. :P [22:21] wabism, a better way to tell is do you have a windows esque menu bar [22:22] Jay45: Paste the output of: ping 8.8.8.8 -c 3 [22:22] acidfrost: well what would be the main way, i know putting a & after the command works.. [22:22] Pseudoephedrine, or you may wish to use screen if you want to return to it later to interact. [22:22] acidfrost: but is there a better way? [22:22] when my 4 cores are 100% loaded I get my CPU at 80°C and PC screams badly. How could one *automatically* lower the CPU frequency if temperature reaches some threshold? [22:22] yes i have connected to it [22:22] HalfCentMan, plug ether into slack and your net book then share the connection with network manager ;p [22:22] dannel2: nah i just want it to run like a normal process [22:22] aBound: yes, the bugs reported for chromium go to solve chrome issues, chromium feeds chrome and makes it what it is [22:22] and my proxy settings are working fine for firefox [22:22] vak, I'd figured by applying thermal paste right onto the CPU. [22:22] The other day I rebooted my ubuntu box and the boot process shows up fine, but when X/lightdm are supposed to start, the screen goes completely black. I've tried ctrl+alt+f1, f2... nothing is bringing the screen to life. I am able to ssh into the box just fine. There seems to be an Xorg.0.failsafe log but nothing is standing out at me as a cause. Anyone here run into this problem before? [22:22] Pseudoephedrine, what kind of script is it ? [22:22] HalfCentMan: setup a bridge between eth0 and wlan0? [22:22] acidfrost: python .py [22:23] gwelter, yeah thats what i suggested ;p [22:23] acidfrost: i found the main menu [22:23] ActionParsnip, By the way thanks for that link I was looking for it either way. [22:23] and using ubuntu software centre i can find the software i want [22:23] acidfrost: it seems that the process to config network mgr is what is escaping me.. [22:23] but it just stays at 0 bytes [22:23] acidfrost: ha, hadn't seen it :) [22:23] Jay45: you will need to configure apt to use a proxy [22:23] Pseudoephedrine, no i know what language it is what does the script do ? [22:23] exit [22:23] gwelter: Yes.. [22:23] any idea?:( [22:23] Hate it when I do that... ;) [22:23] \quit [22:23] grr. [22:23] aBound: I advise the daily build ppa of chromium, it has tasty extra features [22:23] acidfrost: it is supybot [22:24] Action parsnip: how do i do that? [22:24] Pseudoephedrine, you'd have to explain is it an irc bot / [22:24] s/\//? [22:24] ActionParsnip, I'm more of a firefox man I use chrome as my secondary browser just in case firefox goes haywire. :-) [22:24] acidfrost: lol yea sorry, it is an IRC bot [22:24] I like the pin tab feature of firefox and the tab grouping in firefox. :P [22:24] acidfrost: and i want it to constantly keep running [22:24] aBound: I hate firefox, I use chroimum daily and arora [22:24] yeah then just background it with the & like the other user said(sorry can't remember atm) [22:24] ActionParsnip, HA! I'll probably check out chromium's features. [22:25] ActionParsnip, tor man ? [22:25] acidfrost: never used it [22:25] Jay45: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Setting_up_apt-get_to_use_a_http-proxy [22:25] ActionParsnip, It can be a pain in the butt having to learn new browsers. [22:25] aBound: the huge sluwigbr on CPU gets also very hot, so it is not a hot-transmission problem. [22:25] Question rephrase... How do I set up a 'bridge' between the eth0 and wlan0 devices on my Natty NetBook ? (much shorter question.. Thank You!) [22:25] ActionParsnip, reason i asked is that the tor browser is based off of aurora [22:25] aBound: its not that different for regular browsing, what;s to learn? [22:25] vak, sluwigbr? [22:25] acidfrost: ahhh I see [22:26] HalfCentMan, give me a second i'll look it up ;p [22:26] HalfCentMan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BridgingNetworkInterfaces [22:26] acidfrost: Thank You Sir... [22:26] so how would i go about configuring apt to my proxy settings? also i have to authenticate using my uni log in and password [22:26] vak, Is the CPU overheating and automatically shuting down by any chance. If so the heat sink could be clogged with dust. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:26] and i dont have the slightest idea how to do it [22:27] ActionParsnip, New keyboard shortcuts. lol [22:27] HalfCentMan, ahh i might have confused network manager with network connections manager [22:27] Ok, so how am i running a pythong script even when the terminal is closed exactly? [22:27] python* [22:27] aBound: alt and left and right do back and forward, F5 does refresh. What more do you need? [22:28] My Unity dock has stopped disappearing automatically. How can I make it disappear when I put a window over it, or go fullscreen? [22:28] aBound: what is sluwigbr? [22:28] ActionParsnip, I tend to use ctrl-t (new tab), ctrl-w (close tab), F5 of course, ctrl-shift-e (tab grouping), buttons 1 thru 5 for media, home button and a few others. But that's just me. [22:28] mang0: what hide setting is defined in ccsm? [22:28] acidfrost: I'm pretty sure it's done with the 'connection manager', I just need to sort out the settings and get them set right... [22:28] vak, you typed it in and I wondered what it was. [22:29] HalfCentMan, http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=231374 [22:29] * HalfCentMan is AFW [22:29] Jay45: it's all in the lin ki gave you [22:29] HalfCentMan, bout the 3rd or so post [22:29] aBound: CTRL+T and CTRL+W manage tabs the same, what is this media you speakof? [22:29] More or less I tend to use a bunch of keyboard shortcuts for GUI stuff. [22:29] ciao [22:30] ActionParsnip: ccsm? [22:30] compiz settings manager? [22:30] mang0: yes, run it... [22:30] ActionParsnip, If I'm on youtube and listening to a music video I can use press 1 and it'll go back to about the first 30 seconds or 1 minute of a clip. [22:30] oky [22:30] aBound: let me try [22:30] gwelter: thanks, i missed that one [22:30] ActionParsnip: Not installed. [22:30] since i've been answering a lot of questions would someone mind helping me out, question: my netbook is locked at 1024x600 and sometimes i have issue with dialogs being cutoff at the bottom of the screen anyone know how to fix this ? [22:30] aBound: lol it was 'heatsink' in a wrong keyboard layout :) [22:30] mang0: then install compizconfig-settings-manager [22:30] ActionParsnip, 2 works too and some others. [22:31] vak, lol [22:31] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I was already doing so :) [22:31] aBound: yep, same [22:31] ActionParsnip, Seems it works in chrome. [22:31] hi all. [22:32] vak, Usually a laptop/desktop carries a heat sink and when you buy a new PC/Laptop they apply thermal paste to the CPU chip to prevent it from overheating. === dan__ is now known as Guest92579 [22:32] hello [22:32] hey is it a easy way to install all packages cuz i allways get a error like this [22:32] just upgraded from 11.04 into 11.10 and been having strange issues with ssh related stuff. [22:32] No package 'dbus-1' found [22:32] No package 'dbus-glib-1' found [22:32] and other liberyes [22:32] nautilus can't connect to a remote ssh host. neither bazaar. [22:32] vak, Overtime the CPU chip needs new thermal paste applied to it and the heat sink needs to be cleaned from time to time. To prevent overheating. [22:33] aBound: ok [22:33] vak, I can run a bunch of programs with my computer and at the same time my temps should stay at 40 degrees to 50 degrees and go nowhere near 80 to 90 degrees. === newbie is now known as Guest92206 [22:33] a cmd i can use in terminal to reinstall all package, and add the package that got installed my defult? [22:33] any advice regarding "libgmodule-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32" in ubuntu lucid ? [22:33] how can I debug nautilus ssh connection? [22:33] kristoffer, you probably have a borked install i'd recommend installing the latest 11.10 and then updating with update manager [22:34] I guess it's related to openssl [22:34] vak, I'm just saying as I have an old laptop that was going near 80 to 90 degrees and you should check if it's the hardware that needs cleaning. [22:34] Apachez: you have a 32bit file on 64bit OS [22:34] aBound: it is only when my 4 core 100% loaded. [22:34] ActionParsnip: It's set to "Dodge windows" [22:34] vak, I have a quad-core too. [22:34] mang0: ok, set it to something else and test [22:34] vak, Possibly could be a program that has a memory leak. [22:35] acidfrost, NO i dont want 11.10 it sucks, it freeze and its problem 24/7, i want 10.04.3 lucid [22:35] ActionParsnip: Nope, still no hiding. [22:35] aBound: no :) [22:35] kristoffer: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename [22:35] respectful newbie salute [22:35] ActionParsnip, I'll be checking out chromium later in the day. === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [22:35] i come to you guys since i already tried google but the answer seemed to be destined for an older ubuntu [22:35] ActionParsnip, and if i want to install all packages? [22:35] ActionParsnip: Also, the dash home launcher looks different - perhaps it's something to do with my theme? [22:35] kristoffer, then i'd reinstall 10.04 and update with update manager before you install any other packages [22:35] ActionParsnip, I can't live without adblock plus/noscript and customizable themes. Including fasterfox... [22:36] mang0: possibly, try a different theme [22:36] vak, haha [22:36] i have another problem [22:36] i have an HP s5300la and ubuntu 11.10. I tried to install dkms but got this message---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/806760/ [22:36] !ask > Jay45 [22:36] Jay45, please see my private message [22:36] I have a program scanbuttond that I want to run as a particular user. I edited /etc/init.d/scanbuttond and changed the RUN_AS_USER flag to someUser, however, it still runs as user saned, I can't figure out why [22:36] aBound: they are in chrome, there are lots of themes (even a theme maker online) [22:36] how do i see the privat messages? [22:36] aBound: chrome does precaching of dns so goes fast :) [22:36] ActionParsnip, no new packages there [22:37] if I try it manually it works fine: start-stop-daemon --start --chuid someUser --exec /usr/local/bin/scanbuttond -- -s /etc/scanbuttond/buttonpressed.sh -S /etc/scanbuttond/initscanner.sh [22:37] kristoffer: not sure about all packages reinstalling, use tab to complete package names [22:37] i installed Geoforce FX 5500 ,what driver i need? [22:37] vak, Those are my two best guesses either heat sink is clogged with dust and the cpu chip needs new thermal paste preferably (arctic silver brand) or it's some memory leak/cpu issue with a program. Causing it to skyrocket. [22:37] loganrun, script it then ;p and add to startup programs [22:37] omg then i need to reinstall the hole shit again... bah iam starting to hate this distro only so mutch problems, i install one program and another one dont work [22:37] how can i ensure that i keep the same file permissions on the new files when issuing this command: sudo cp -r /foo/bar /newfoo ??? [22:38] ActionParsnip: Nope, still nothing. To google, and beyond! [22:38] cp -ar [22:38] acidfrost, that is the command that the script ultimately generates [22:38] ActionParsnip, google chrome or chromium? Does chromium use the V8 javascript engine? [22:38] !language > kristoffer [22:38] kristoffer, please see my private message [22:38] and its noo, repair system boot or make it back to defult again [22:38] aBound: I'll try find out. I can imagine it does [22:38] i dont know what port to make apt-get use [22:38] where would i find that? [22:39] ActionParsnip, No problem. [22:39] Jay45: usually a proxy listens on 8080 or 3128 [22:39] memleaks have nothing to do with temp :) [22:39] loganrun, does the user you put exist ? and have priveleges capable of running the service [22:40] acidfrost, yes, here is the code http://pastebin.com/TxchJava [22:40] gwelter: thanks ill try it now [22:40] does anybody has a minute and account at help.ubuntu.com? At page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes to section Microphone -> 1005 need to add pretty important line about PulseAudio being installed overrides all other audio controllers. [22:40] aBound: The JavaScript virtual machine used by Chrome, the V8 JavaScript engine, has features such as dynamic code generation, hidden class transitions, and precise garbage collection.[16]Tests by Google in September 2008 showed that V8 was about twice as fast as Firefox 3.0 and the WebKit nightlies. [22:40] vak, Indeed they don't but they can constantly consume memory and it won't be released back. Though it it's consuming a ton of memory it might increase CPU usage. [22:40] aBound: seems so [22:40] jay45: just copy the settings from you browser [22:40] acidfrost, as I was saying if I just run the command that I think the script generates manually it works fine and runs as the specified user [22:41] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/780121 ActionParsnip. Looks like I need to log off/on again! [22:41] Ubuntu bug 780121 in unity (Ubuntu) "unity "sidebar" stays on top and won't hide if not used" [Undecided,Confirmed] [22:41] ActionParsnip, I think they're referring to chrome as in google chrome and not chromium. [22:41] that goddam bot is too clever for it's own good. [22:41] gwelter: i was going to but firefox auto detected, so when i went to look in the settings the fields were blank [22:41] acidfrost, think I found out what is going on, the chuid $RUN_AS_USER variable is getting overwritten somehow [22:42] loganrun, i take it that you are using someuser to mask the users actual name right and that your aren't actually using someuser ? [22:42] aBound: remember the "chrome is based on chromium" bit from earlier.... [22:42] acidfrost, ha, right [22:42] aBound: instead of just reading, read then think [22:42] ActionParsnip, Indeed but V8 is a google technology not chromium's. [22:43] ActionParsnip, Chromium 11 used WebKit 534.18 and V8 3.1.1 which resulted in improved speed in JavaScript and other benchmark tests [22:43] loganrun, ahh ok had to ask i've seen some people literally use someuser in scripts and wonder why they don't work lol ;p [22:43] Seems so. [22:43] Jay45: wget http://wpad./wpdat.dat to see the settings unless the dhcp server specified another url for wpad (autoconfig) option === newbie28 is now known as m0nk3yman [22:44] ActionParsnip, V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google [22:44] Blah! [22:44] I wonder if there's some other way to check. [22:45] https://code.google.com/p/v8/ [22:45] imma have to get off my eyes are burning pretty bad if i was previously helping you sorry [22:46] Hola, una pregunta, alguien sabe el comando para mostrar los paquetes instalados? no la lista, solo la cantidad... gracias [22:46] madymode: preguntalo en #ubuntu-es [22:47] thanks [22:47] es que encontraras mas ayuda ahi [22:47] acidfrost, Been in here for to long eh.

My server is running slow. I thought it might have something to do with firewall [22:50] what tests can I run [22:51] he got it abound [22:51] garaman: mIGHT JUST BE THE SPEED OF YOUR INTERNET [22:51] ooopsie [22:51] sorry about caps [22:51] Ahh, I gotcha. [22:56] bf [22:56] garymc: running slow to clients, or running slow on the web? [22:56] hi [22:57] ActionParsnip : I have CAKEphp running my back office and its gone all slow this last week [22:57] We all login over the web [22:57] Its not my internet connection [22:57] garymc: what speed up and down do you have? [22:58] 15mb down and 1 mb up [22:58] here [22:58] its a 40mb line were the server is hosted each way [22:59] i still cant download any packages [22:59] here is what i type in on terminal [22:59] boss@RIG:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential [sudo] password for boss: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package build-essential boss@RIG:~$ [22:59] ActionParsnip, I think what happened is when Google developed their V8 engine somewhere late in 2010 Chromium decided to incorporate it into their browser. Seeing as on this page until 2011 it says they started to use the V8 javascript engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29 [23:00] aBound: sounds cool :) [23:00] Eh, early 2011 so cool it's got it in there. [23:00] Greetings! [23:00] HELLO [23:01] I would like to know if we need any advanced knowledge of Ubuntu to apply as an IRC operator. [23:01] Jay45: Do you have internet access on the box? [23:01] yes [23:01] Tristan_C: give me operator status [23:01] im typing to you on the same machine. i assume thats what you meant by box? [23:02] acidfrost: hardware issue. was taking it out to detach the hard drive so it didn't have to suffer through more power failures and noticed that the CPU fan was loose. one of the plastic clips on the mobo had snapped, so the heatsink/fan weren't touching the CPU anymore. the BIOS was probably killing the machine when the chip got too hot. that would make sense with the times that i saw it fail. [23:02] jwp121: or did you mean the terminal box? [23:02] Alright I'm off I'll be back later. :P [23:02] ok. after hours of tinkering I'm coming to the irc for help.... I've got a 64b machine running 64b kubuntu. It's got 4 DDR2 slots, but if i put more than 2G total of ram, it hangs at login. I can get it to log in in recovery mode using grub2 but then my multi-head display doesn't work as expected, and several other peripherals also seem broken (usb etc) anyone help me to diagnose what's going on here? [23:03] Jay45: Whatever box you were trying to download build-essential to. [23:04] jwp121: what are you referring to when you say box? [23:04] Jay45: Whatever computer you are trying to install build-essential on.
