[00:00] mvdk: I use LXDE myself, my first DE was KDE [00:00] ActionParsnip, i was locked out , but you got it to work without the 30mins of fuss [00:01] ActionParsnip: I prefer oldstyle GNOME [00:01] Does anyone have any idea what the procedure is for submitting a new package for the archives? [00:01] mvdk: could report a but with software centre I guess [00:01] Does the Canopus Twinpact100 Tim is using work with Linux? [00:02] mvdk: xfce is very similar to Gnome2 [00:02] Indicator-datetime-service is eating as much of my CPU as it can get. strace fragment: http://pastebin.com/jwPN4KJx [00:03] map7: could contact the manfacturers [00:04] mvdk, if you have a mix of gmone lxdm and openbox its helps with low -medium end hardware, speeder [00:04] mvdk, you might want to start reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment, particularly the section on New Packages [00:05] psusi, thanks. [00:05] is this a support channel [00:05] ActionParsnip, xfce i think thats in xubuntu x server,, right? [00:06] html: its the default in xubuntu, but you can install as many DEs as you wish and use them... [00:06] de? desktop enviroment? [00:07] has anyone made a remix of gnome? [00:08] yes, de == desktop environment [00:09] html: there is mate which is a gnome2 fork [00:10] has anyone made a remix of gnome? .. can it be done ? like i want to make my own flavor thats really useful and fast but atlease a splash of color and style [00:10] html: look into Linux Mint's Cinnamon. I'm pretty sure there's an ubuntu ppa [00:11] * psusi really likes gnome-shell [00:11] html: alternately, they also have MATE, a fork of 2.32 [00:12] html: any of the gnome2 forks aren't supported here, you can use them but we can't support it in here [00:12] html: alternately, they also have MATE, a fork of 2.32 [00:12] * zorklat is using unity, and pretty much ok with it. [00:12] * psusi likes some of the ideas unity has, and some that gnome-shell has... wishes he could get both [00:13] html: https://launchpad.net/~merlwiz79/+archive/cinnamon-ppa [00:13] one thing I hate about unity is that you can't move the bloody bar to other parts of the screen... I really like the zoom out thing gnome-shell does when you tap the corner [00:13] psusi: you can actually [00:13] I wish they could agree on the widgets too [00:14] psusi: just because you don't know how doesn't mean its not possible... [00:14] ActionParsnip, yea, I think I saw there's a ppa with a modified version that can move [00:14] psusi: its a way to move it. [00:14] oh, BUGGER! Gparted can't even find sdb any more. [00:14] I'll give it another try in 12.04, but I *really* like that zoom out thing gnome-shell does [00:15] * ActionParsnip loves his LXDE :) [00:15] zorklat, can't find it, or doesn't see any partitions on it? [00:15] psusi, can't find it. acts like it's not even there. [00:15] I cant wait for 12.04. Is the developement one worth trying? I HATE 11.10...find myself using 10.04 more and more. [00:15] zorklat, ohh, that's really not good [00:16] psusi, that's why I wound up using cfdisk on gparted to fix it last time. [00:16] zorklat: is sdb an external or internal HD? [00:16] wireless: its quite similar, just later stuff. The gnome based Ubuntu uses Unity the same, just a later build that works smoother [00:16] wireless, an bug submissions you make will make it that much better [00:16] I'm getting so many bugs with new kernel [00:16] its the kernel that Im having problems with [00:17] wireless, internal. [00:17] I never thought of making a bug submission...I'll try that thanks [00:17] zorklat, (g)parted won't recofnize any partitions if anything is wonky with them, like one going past the end of the disk... but not seeing the disk at all? that's not good [00:17] zorklat: thats really not good [00:17] zorlat: if it was external it could be a problem with the case [00:17] zorklat: its probably gone forever [00:18] zorklat, does fdisk -l see the drive? [00:19] zorklat I'd also goto /dev and see if sdb is listed [00:19] zorklat: does: sudo fdisk -l list the device? [00:19] ActionParsnip, I've got a term running sudo -i, and fdisk -l has no output atall. [00:20] is it not possible to export softlinks in /etc/exports ? [00:20] zorklat: in gparted there is a pulldown menu to select the other drives...many people dont see that and think their drive is not their when really they are selected on /dev/sda and dont realize it [00:20] zorklat: it should list all partitions, try running it as user with sudo [00:20] wireless, I'm aware of the menu. only sda is in there. [00:20] ActionParsnip, ok. only sees sda1. [00:21] zorklat, is this immediately after using gparted to move the partition? have you rebooted? [00:21] hi is there a way to create a user so that he can install certain things on a server but leave the rest of the server isolated from that user? [00:21] zorklat: ok then check through: dmesg | less see what the system sees at boot... [00:21] vite, you can install programs in your /home folder [00:22] mvdk: is there a way to get ubuntu 11.04 to create a xorg.conf file that I can then modify to my needs? [00:22] psusi, yes to the first, no to the second. [00:22] zorklat, did the move give an error, or did it look ok and you shut down gparted? [00:22] zorklat, and yea, check dmesg [00:23] pfifo: is there a way to create a separate configuration from a user without having to install a completely new server? [00:23] psusi, got an error resizing. [00:24] vite, can you rephrase that [00:25] psusi, ActionParsnip , here's a fairly typical excerpt from 127k. [00:25] Anyone know if one can force ubuntu 11.04 to create a xorg.conf? It seems that the proprietary Ati drivers does not create one. [00:25] pfifo: i have an ubuntu server setup with a root user. I want to use that same server, but create a new user so that they can install their own server setup without changing the other users setup === DavyS|afk is now known as Davyd [00:25] !fakeroot | vite [00:25] @vite sudo adduser [00:26] !chroot | vite [00:26] vite: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory.

[00:27] psusi, internal sata. and I don't have the funds to replace it just now. [00:28] bizarrely enough, palimpsest thought it was just fine. [00:28] zorklat, did you check the SMART status? [00:28] pfifo: and that will let them create their on setup without affecting the global system? using fakeroot [00:29] oldIT781: try: sudo Xorg --configure [00:29] psusi, yes I did. ran every test palimpsest had.

I find root recovery mode easier [00:33] virtual lol [00:33] ActionParsnip: ill give it a whirl.

[00:43] bbonora-vaio, xbox? 360? or orginal? [00:43] suzanne: not sure how its different for a man. [00:43] x350, don't ask to ask, just ask the real question [00:43] suzanne: make sure the plugins work and such [00:43] plugins? [00:44] I downloaded and installed Ubuntu, so I could dual-boot windows 7 and ubunutu 11.0. But when I boot onto windows7 I can't connect to my router anymore. Although, when I boot onto ubuntu (like now) I can connect. [00:44] Just wondering if anyone else had the same problems [00:45] The routers fine, and it works at my work as well. My Ipod can connect to them, just not windows 7, after I installed ubuntu. === Milk|SNODAY is now known as manofmilk [00:45] bbonora-vaio, ? [00:46] * x350 must be the only one. [00:47] Anyone else having problems with connections on win7 after dual-booting ubuntu? [00:47] x350, check your internal ip (local) [00:48] suzanne: 192.168.1.68 [00:48] x350, yes but it was a while ago [00:48] suzanne: like flash, java etc [00:48] ActionParsnip, ok === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax [00:49] 192.168.1.68 ubuntu?

But I tried mine at home, and the one at work too [00:54] both are not connecting [00:55] x350, try a cold boot? [00:55] did, and even tried windows restore [00:56] nothing :/ [00:56] x350, you actually pulled the power, waited 30 seconds, then booted windows? [00:56] not right now [00:56] I litterly spent hours yesterday [00:56] doing it [00:57] tried lots of different methods, but nothing helped [00:57] It's like, installing ubuntu, taking over the connections, then windows can't connect :/ [00:57] x350, I'd say unplug the power of the pc and the router... then boot up the router, boot up the pc straight into windows, and if that still doesn't work, then give ms the finger ;) === kandinski is now known as yore [01:00] Hey all, is anyone else getting signature errors when running apt-get update?

[02:53] I also have medibuntus non-free-codecs [02:54] reagle: problem? particular mp3? stream? webpage? [02:54] huh, it looks like ubuntu version 4:0.6.4-1ubuntu1 (updates) is being installed over medibuntu's 4:0.6.2-1ubuntu2+medibuntu1 [02:55] almoxarife: all of suddent my ffmpeg stopped working, complaining Unknown encoder 'libfaac' (among other codecs) [02:56] could ubuntu have pushed out and update trumping my medibuntu package, and hence i lost my codecs in libavcodec-extra-52? [02:56] what ports should i forward for x forwarding through ssh? [02:57] reagle: look at dpkg.log , search for the issue codec related apps that may have changed in the last 3 days? [02:59] almoxarife: looks like something happened this morning... http://paste.pound-python.org/show/16237/ [03:00] Hello [03:00] a problem with 08:24:33 status half-configured libavcodec-extra-52 4:0.6.4-1ubuntu1 [03:00] small problem [03:00] I'm trying to change to KDE [03:00] I'm at this webpage: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html [03:01] I have installed kubuntu-desktop [03:01] I now have a splash screen with Kubuntu on it [03:01] Dreadtower: what version of ubuntu are you using? hint: cat /etc/issue [03:01] But when my system starts it starts with Gnome [03:01] reagle: alrighty, so, take yourself back to 4.0????? if that is an option, or look at the installed, if it has two versions pick the other not installed [03:02] 11.10 [03:02] The thing I don;t understand on the web page is the phrase: 'Press System->Quit' [03:02] Dreadtower: I have the same issue in 10.10 -- there is some config file messed up somewhere - but I haven't tracked it down yet. [03:02] I can't find any such thing [03:02] Oh - OK [03:03] Dreadtower: known issue, but I have seen no fixes for it [03:03] Dreadtower: take it to #kubuntu [03:03] I'll try that almoxarife, thx [03:03] Dreadtower: not that these nice folk wouldnt help [03:03] Dreadtower: doesn't kde session appear as option on the login screen¿ [03:03] It doesn't, no :( [03:04] am i supposed to be going back to the medibuntu version? [03:04] Dreadtower: trying something bbib [03:04] I now have: libavcodec52 (4:0.6.4-0ubuntu0.11.04.1). and it no longer complains about flaac, but now I get: Unknown encoder 'libx264' [03:06] Ah! I've found some community info. [03:06] It requires more than just kubuntu-desktop [03:06] so, I install libavcodec-extra-52 to get x264, and I lose faac again! [03:09] in synaptic, when i try to force the medibuntu version i had this morning, I get a E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [03:09] It seems it also needs kde-full [03:09] apt-get install -f doesn't show any problems... [03:09] gonna give up for now, maybe things will be sorted tomorrow [03:11] Does anyone know where the button 'System->Quit' is, or if there is a key-binding for it? === Adys is now known as Allowfaster === Allowfaster is now known as Adys === chris__ is now known as chacken [03:17] hello [03:19] hello, I have an ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 system and every time i boot my boot disk switches between being /dev/sda and being /dev/sdf. This screws up my raid6 on the other disks. Can I add a udev rule to force it to always be sda or sdf? [03:19] Hmm: it wants me to configure lirc [03:19] What is lirc?

I accidentally did a reinstall. [03:22] there's got to be a way to force disk order/assignment in grub or udev? this toggling is going to drive me up a wall [03:22] kop : are you here ?

[03:22] No lirc in man or info :( [03:23] It's installing it as we speak [03:23] I have no dish, TV card etc. [03:23] Do I just configure for UDP? [03:23] What is lirc? [03:24] So just to give the end of my story, might intest some people here : I freshly reinstalled 11.10 and reimported my home folder from backups [03:24] Dreadtower: look up a few lines === Prodego_ is now known as administrivia [03:24] And still... whatever the program i was running, i was getting segfault over segfault. massive amount... [03:25] OK: so I don't need it: I have no remote control handset :) [03:25] So i tried to stop every service I had one after another (pulse audio, ndiswrappe, trying to avoid other programs...) alway does nasty segfault [03:25] i have tried to add hook scripts into /etc/pm/sleep.d/ to unmount network filesystems before my laptop sleeps, but they don't execute. am i missing something i need?

Can some please recommend an open source visual query builder for mysql/linux? TIA! === Andr---- is now known as AndrewMC [03:30] nobody listen to me lol :) [03:30] bradleyayers: why are you installing like that instead of using a repository [03:30] I'll test a bit more, and I'll right all my story on a forum somewhere :P [03:30] Ben64: just playing around with installing packages from newer versions, it'll probably break things but im just experimenting [03:31] bradleyayers: it definitely will break things, don't do it : / [03:31] :( [03:33] if I stop my array and run create will it rewrite the superblocks? [03:34] so long as I put the disks in exactly the right order? [03:34] solved my pulseaudio problem for anyone who uses skypeou and the mic can't hear y [03:34] you [03:34] uninstall pulseaudio [03:34] problem solved [03:35] thats one of the first things i do on any ubuntu install [03:35] never thought it would be such an easy solution [03:40] Indicator-datetime-service is eating as much of my CPU as it can get. strace fragment: http://pastebin.com/jwPN4KJx [03:48] im tyring to use 10.04 on a corei5 machine that previously used 9.10, but the mouse ans keyboard randomly freeze up. I tried a irqba;ance shut off thing but to no avail. help [03:48] Looking for some help getting audio to work in 10.4, google has been less than fruitful. [03:50] With all the tech sites down for SOPA it's proving especially difficult [03:51] thats actually kinda funny [03:51] how much longer is it now before everything back up [03:51] wish I can help but I'm a newbie myself [03:51] supposedly just today [03:52] but I don't know if its eastern time, or central, or etc [03:52] Yeah, audio was working fine out of the box on Linux Mint 12, but I decided to go back to 10.4 and it's not recognizing any sound card [03:55] Daxter: Do you have an external USB drive connected? [03:56] ratcheer: no,only usb thing connected all the tim is a bt adapter [03:57] prospektor what kind of card you got? [03:57] Ok. My mouse and kbd freeze sometimes and, if I unplug the USB drive, they will free up.

[04:06] its in 11.04 [04:06] but you can still use the old gui (gnome) [04:06] 11.10 is fully unity [04:07] oh... it is? its just not default wm ? [04:07] where you log into the system you can select unity or gnome on 11.04 -- 11.10 is just unity (no choice) [04:07] rhin0: any explanation as to why adding that line to rc.local wouldn't turn off the touchpad [04:07] ok, but if one were to /want/ unity (not me, ick) ... then using 11.10 is the way to go? [04:07] Hi all, I want to create a partition on my hard-disk (somehting like 40 GB / 500GB) to install windows on. I've never used gparted before and I see that /dev/sda1 is my main partition. I can't do anything unless I unmount it. Is this safe to do(unmounting your main partition)? [04:07] .... I have my synclient setup in ... I use hang on [04:07] rodayo: it's not really possible. you need to boot a live-cd [04:08] system > preferences > startup applications [04:08] ubluntu, I don't know that the windows installer offers anything to create a partition...as far as I know it doesn't [04:09] rodayo: you can make a live-usb/cd boot from it and do what you want with gparted [04:09] rhin0: currently in unity [04:09] I mean an ubuntu live-cd [04:09] how do i switch from unity to gnome [04:09] !gnomefallback [04:09] hrm. [04:09] no idea where it is on unity [04:10] ubluntu, are you saying to create a gparted live cd/usb? [04:10] you select gnome on login up until 11.04 [04:10] no. the ubuntu live-cd has gparted on it [04:11] ubluntu, so use the ubuntu-livecd to create a partition. then abort the installation and put in the windows-usb? [04:12] there is no installation if you just boot a live-cd just use gparted then shut it down [04:12] use the option on the menu like " try ubuntu with out installing " [04:12] ubluntu, oooo, I understand now [04:13] ubluntu, thank you i will try that [04:14] ubluntu, i have an old ubuntu 7.07 cd. Will that suffice? [04:14] 7.04* [04:14] is there a way for me to update Mozilla Firefox without installing all the other system updates? [04:15] JBunny: sudo apt-get install firefox [04:15] JBunny: just select the firfox updates in update manager [04:15] Daxter: I tried that and it still tried to install all of them. [04:16] hmm that should work [04:16] still not understanding, used the update-rc.d method and added to rc.local, but after reboot the touchpad is still active [04:16] rodayo: yea [04:16] rodayo: ubuntu 3.10 might have even haha [04:17] !gnomefallback [04:17] trying trism idea. [04:17] ubluntu, great thanks for your help [04:17] !nounity | james_ [04:17] james_: 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 [04:18] while i'm here could someone help me with installing a dual boot of xp on top of my ubuntu machine? [04:18] JBunny: easy enough..unless you already have ubuntu installed [04:19] i do already have ubuntu installed [04:19] JBunny: I will help you if you would like [04:19] ubluntu: I appreciate that [04:20] go ahead and install xp on to a seperate partition at the end of the disk. then boot ubuntu live-cd and in terminal you can reinstall grub to the MBR with 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda" if a is the disk you are using note it is not /dev/sda1 but /dev/sda the root of the disk [04:20] Hello at ubuntu 11 how can i put off function of moving a window Alt+LMB ? [04:21] ubluntu: is there a way for me to partition the drive? I only have one so im unsure how to partition it since I have to be using it to run the software to partition. lol [04:22] JBunny: boot an ubuntu cd and hit try ubuntu without installing then use gparted to resize a partition if need be and move space to the end of the disk and make an ntfs partition [04:22] hey guys [04:23] i have a question [04:23] ubluntu: ok, i'll try it. luckily i keep a live cd next to the desktop. [04:23] JBunny: I think they have xchat so come back if you have problems [04:23] i have never used anything but windows [04:23] can i play games on ubuntu/linux [04:24] trollingALLderps: maybe [04:24] trollingALLderps: some of them with wine but not new ones usually [04:24] dualboot if you want to play games honestly.. thats what windows is good for. [04:24] ubluntu: will do. thanks! [04:24] tried installing gnome-shell [04:24] apt-get install gnome-shell [04:25] at ubuntu 11 how can i put off function of moving a window Alt+LMB ? [04:25] any macbook air style pc that runs ubuntu smoothly? [04:25] Ubuntu 11.10 usually has gnome-shell from within the software center. Whereas with 10.04 LTS it might not be in the respostories. [04:26] ssshvb: can you ask the question in a different way? pls [04:26] I think he wants it to not move windows any more with alt+lb [04:27] when i try to use alt key + mouse Left button my window is moving i do not need it [04:27] ssshvb: dont hit the key combo? [04:28] ssshvb: or you want that combo for something else? [04:28] yep i do not need this key combo function [04:29] ssshvb: or you want that combo for something else? [04:29] i use maya and in it alt + lmb move the scene [04:29] ssshvb: got it [04:30] ssshvb: what desktop and version? [04:30] gnome 3 [04:30] ssshvb: alt+click to move windows is an Xorg thing - I'm shocked ANY gnu/linux program would use that key/mouse combo (it's dumb).

[04:47] chid: or you ISP might be blocking port 80 as well... [04:47] zykotick9: no this is wlan [04:48] zykotick9, this doesn't work either. could be the files are just corrupt.

[05:02] yes [05:03] Ok, i would guess - it is making the assumption that everything in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin etc is a binary file [05:03] yeah [05:03] genesisbot: how have you tested "off line" sound? are you using a laptop or pc? [05:03] and as it generates its initial file type list, it is noticing that those are shell scripts, not binaries [05:03] shaneo: if you want to really get scared, install 'wireshark' and look for incoming connections [05:04] i would say that the warning text could be written better [05:04] Hey umm, I'm just a beginner and I could really use some help :/ My laptop can't connect to the internet, plz help? [05:04] It can't detect the LAN connection [05:04] * [05:04] wiggmpk: yes i have downloaded a mp3 player and i try playing a song and it does not work and then i go to system sound to adjust the level and it freezes up on me [05:06] almoxarife: OH MY GOD THE CHINESE ARE AFTER ME!!!

Maby because its "mobile broadband" and uses a usb modem?? Anyway Is there a fix or is there a comand i could use to launch it from promt or put in a script. [05:45] It would be awesome if you in such a case could tell me how to make the script run automatcaly when ever the dongel were pressent. Can someone tell me how?

[05:57] so Ubuntu comes with these shells: sh, bash & dash - are there any others, too? i thought sh was really just bash, but it seems they are in fact different, so is sh that comes with Ubuntu the classic bourne shell? [05:57] zykotick9: no this is 1 of many files [05:57] On a side note, I also have windows running on virtualbox. Is it possible to create a system image from this and copy that straight onto the new partition? [05:57] rodayo_: You could ask that in the channel #windows. [05:57] zsh, ksh, csh, tcsh, etc SourT.

[05:59] Corey, ya, but those don't ship as default like the others. btw, any idea how i can get Bash to output newlines? echo "hey \n\n" works with SH, but not with BASH which just outputs the \n instead of a newline [06:00] live cd [06:00] hrm, thats not working for me here wiggmpk :| (however, I am running panda board (arm, embedded), on linaro ubuntu 11.12 :D - just to make things more complicated) [06:00] and brend new HD [06:00] actually, its my keyboard, I am an asshole. that is working [06:00] thanks wiggmpk [06:01] top500, bro are you getting that more details are needed, read the questions and answer them. :D [06:02] I have been researching WINE.. there a few things i cant find info on i hope someone here uses it [06:02] 1. does it work with any windows application? or does support have to be added to WINE for it to work [06:02] !appdb | ohee [06:02] ohee: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [06:03] vade I am not particularly familiar with LInaro Ubuntu 11.12...

[07:10] If there *isn't* any sane way to switch between windows with the same name with the keyboard, then I'll just file a wishlist bug, I was just asking to see if I'm missing something [07:10] heh [07:11] perhaps play with the "key to flip through windows" in the compizconfig settings manager [07:11] /usr/lib/ and /usr/lib64/ whats the difference ??? how install package under this ??? [07:11] Thank you tawm_, I was looking for an out of the box method, me tries in ubuntu+1 as well... [07:11] saju_m: multiarch - /usr/lib is 32bit while /usr/lib64 is you gessed it 64bit [07:11] alkisg, not using unity myself, so can't confirm it works but this should help http://askubuntu.com/questions/68151/revert-alt-tab-behavior-changed-in-11-10 [07:12] what is the use of both?? [07:12] alkisg: i think its probably just a gui front end to keep you out of dealing with a .conf file [07:12] saju_m: so 64bit systems can run both 32 and 64 bit code [07:12] ok [07:13] glebihan: there was a change in alt+tab between 11.04 and .10 but not the change he's talking about [07:13] Greetings All. Am trying to backup some data into my external HD but unable to create any new folders. It does not give me any option to create or paste anything into it though I can see what it has. Can someone please help me out here?Thanks [07:13] anyone know if intel turbo boost works on ubuntu? [07:13] yes last time i ran an actual install [07:13] chaitu: how do you have it mounted? [07:14] I just plug it in and it pops up..I do nothing much [07:14] goddard: is that using USB keys as memory? glebihan, thanks, it's similar to what I'm looking for but it doesn't seem to have an option to "always expose windows in the switcher". tawm_ <<< I'll install it and check if it has an option for that, ty [07:14] chaitu: does your user own the folder its mounted into ? something in /media [07:14] ubluntu: can you please tell me how to check? am kinda new [07:15] Hi all, My java firefox plugin stopped working. I thought they were going to leave the old installation alone? I m on 10.04 [07:15] isnt is like /media/sda1 or some shit [07:15] zykotick9: the intel turbo boost [07:15] chaitu: ls -l /folder/path [07:15] what would be the quickest way to install it again? [07:15] Is Canonical creating east asian(like chinese) fonts? anyone knows something? [07:16] aromu: is there a chinese channel? [07:16] !cn [07:16] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [07:16] aromu: they would know if there was [07:16] ubottu: I just opened a file manager and I see it there... under home, root, and all other har drives [07:16] chaitu: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:17] ubluntu: I just opened a file manager and I see it there... under home, root, and all other har drives [07:17] chaitu: yea you don't have write acess to it im thinking... [07:18] umnn can I just go to properties and see if I can get them? but this is a single login system...noone else uses this and It worked before [07:18] not sure what happened all of a sudden [07:18] chaitu: is this a FAT or NTFS external drive? [07:19] I believe its FAT [07:19] chaitu: type mount in a terminal to see how its mounted.. like the options [07:19] chaitu: ok, i can't help then. FYI, FAT permissions are established with the mount command used. [07:19] hows everyone [07:20] ok its vfat... just did mount in the terminal and it gave me that info [07:20] chaitu: well how is it mounted ? [07:20] I have connected the monitor through an adapter to the graphics card. I have seated everything onto the mobo, but have NOT yet loaded the os (ubuntu via usb). Still, shouldn't I see SOMETHING on my monitor? It's completely black. [07:21] /dev/sdc1 on /media/my book [07:22] t4unt: you should, check your RAM and make sure you plugged in the extra power cable for the CPU (4 pin 12volt) [07:22] t4unt: also make sure your monitor is on and set tothe correct source (if you have VGA, DVI and HDMI) [07:23] t4unt: yes I know that sounds basic but you would be suprised how many people (even professionals) miss that [07:23] t4unt: some graphics cards also need extra power [07:23] t4unt: correct, some gfx cards needs more power [07:24] how to copy the folder(for example :- dashboard) from dekstop to remote server ?? [07:25] harsh343: scp? (which uses ssh for access, the remote server would have to be running ssh for that to work) [07:26] zykotick9, yes ssh [07:26] how to copy through command [07:26] harsh343: works pretty much the same as cp but you specify user@server:/path/to/file [07:27] so from your local computer scp -R /path/to/dashboard username@remoteserver:/path/to/destination [07:28] it will prompt for your password at the remote server [07:28] as if you were sshing to it [07:28] tawm_: i believe you need lowercase r (i could be wrong, but my "man scp" doesn't have a -R) [07:29] zykotick9: i get all mixed up on which programs use -r vs -R for recursive [07:29] tawm_: same here ;) [07:30] harsh343: zykotick9 proves he's better at linux than I again, its -r not -R [07:32] how can I clear the dns cache of ubuntu server? [07:32] hi i m the only one whose java applets stopped working in 10.04 [07:34] babarhaq: you might be the only one running 10.04 in the channel ;) ubuntu folk are typically excited about NEW vs stable. [07:36] zykotick9: me too but need stability above all so i normally stick to lts [07:36] babarhaq: alkisg was mentioning he was on 10.04 till recently [07:36] alkisg: do u have the same problem [07:36] babarhaq: let me read... [07:37] ah, java applets? no idea, I don't use java much [07:37] Do you have a link to test? [07:37] alkisg: http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp [07:37] 1234 [07:37] alkisg: in firefox [07:38] babarhaq: ah sorry at this moment I'm with 12.04, and I don't even have java installed... (using 95% 10.04, and 5% 12.04... :)) [07:38] so I have a support question, I'm trying to save my touchscreen config. But the instructions are for X11 . Where can I find the stuff for Unity? [07:39] alkisg: no probs .... [07:39] kilmickey: Xorg or X11? X (typically Xorg in modern times) actually does the hardware access/settings for DE/WM (like Unity for example) [07:39] kilmickey, Unity is what runs over X11 [07:39] ParkerR: well, Unity runs on Gnome, which runs on Xorg ;) [07:40] zykotick9, True XD [07:42] well the /ect/x11/xorg.conf.d/ doesn't exist should I make it. (sorry I am sort of new) [07:43] kilmickey: are you using /etc/X11 ? [07:43] kilmickey: case matters [07:43] kilmickey: as does spelling - ect vs etc ;) [07:45] Well since I'm poking around in the GUI spelling and CAPS don't matter too much. [07:45] kilmickey: true. ya, i'm not sure that folder exists by default. not sure what help it would be to you either? [07:46] kilmickey: you want to "save" your settings, meaning, you already configured it somehow? [07:47] Ubuntu 11.04. Is there any possible way to disable that 'hover' on audio files so it doesn't auto play? [07:48] celltech: you used to be able to uninstall mpg123 to stop that behaviour (not sure that would apply anymore though) [07:48] zykotick9: Yeah it's really obnoxious [07:49] I'm just trying to get my calibration to stick, and the steps given to me seem to not be available. And yes I'm using "Calibrate Touchscreen". It leaves me with a Terminal window explaining how to make it permanent. [07:49] celltech: is there some "preview" setting in nautilus for it by chance? (i don't have nautilus installed, so cant check) [07:49] I don't think I do either. [07:50] kilmickey: is it explaining that you need to save it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:50] celltech: where are you getting the preview then? KDE? [07:50] zykotick9: Possibly [07:51] Ahh.. gstreamer feature [07:51] Is Dell Laptop coming with pre installed Ubuntu? [07:52] /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf to be exact [07:53] Uh, is there any good ubuntu compatible FTP client? gFTP is just... not good [07:53] game16: filezilla? (i always liked gFTP though, for SSH anyways - FTP MUST DIE) [07:54] http://pastebin.com/zjfjK8r2 [07:54] okay am I an idiot or is bluetooth broken in 10.04 ? [07:54] from my ubuntu server "dig +trace myserver.com" can resolve a specific dns but "ping myserver.com" can't [07:54] what can be the cause? [07:55] jiltdil, I would contact dell and ask. [07:55] kilmickey: hrm well i know whenever I need to muck with my display settings I usually have to 1)make the conflicting file xorg.conf not exist anymore (usually i mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak) 2) tell the program to try and save the changes again and it usually works now that xorg.conf no longer exists [07:55] urlin2u, hm :) [07:55] I don't like filezilla either, [07:55] I'm just used to like, winscp on windows [07:56] k, thank you. [07:56] but dreamhost works with ssh, so I guess I might as well learn todo that [07:56] rock n roll [07:56] kilmickey: and to get X11 to properly reload you either need to logout or restart the machine [07:56] Nowhere, 3 chords and nowhere to go? [07:56] tawm_: "sudo service gdm restart" [07:57] tawm_, sudo service gdm restart [07:57] echo [07:57] tawm_: oh, but it's not gdm anymore is it. sorry i forget the new name.

[10:35] MonkeyDust: It's a fat32 formated mem-stick. I had no problems using it before. Used it on this machine many times [10:35] d3ngar: plugdev is the group you want. [10:35] No, it's a game I've played for years and years. More or less a chat client these days [10:36] ok, well, does it work now? [10:36] BlueEagle: How coem I was removed from the group then? [10:36] Nope, one second. [10:36] Ben64, http://paste.debian.net/152800/ [10:36] How can you edit group memberships? [10:36] http://pastebin.com/bN52XqTy [10:36] d3ngar: usermod -aG plugdev [10:36] d3ngar: do `groups` first to make sure you're not already a member. [10:36] kevin_, some dont get paid , and or not even enough to pay the rent [10:36] ok, BadRequests almost without an exception are a driver problem [10:37] BlueEagle: Do I need to do anything thereafter? [10:37] what gfx card you have and what drivers you have installed? [10:37] These guys get paid more than enough though trust me :P [10:37] BlueEagle: I'm already in it [10:37] how can I unmount without root password? [10:37] d3ngar: You may need to log out and log back in. Perhaps even restart GDM. [10:37] :S [10:37] d3ngar: Well then "that's not it"(tm) [10:37] the^user: no you do p after parted. like this. http://paste.debian.net/152801/ [10:37] hi [10:38] kevin_, which ones ? windows ? linux? this game? [10:38] ix_: To mount/unmount a partition w/o root privileges you need to set the 'user' option in fstab. [10:38] The people that made the game I'm talking about [10:38] kevin_: do you have an ubuntu issue ? [10:38] kevin_: ping, gfx card and what drivers? [10:38] But uh... It shouldn't be the driver, I run this game on Windows all the time and it works just fine [10:38] it is [10:38] !de [10:38] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [10:38] BlueEagle, do you have a link? [10:38] kevin_: what happens on windows has no relevence to ubuntu, [10:38] rrr! [10:38] i bet your 3D acceleration is not working [10:39] im trying to get a boot cd going to flash my bios. i'm following the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789 but when i try to move files over to the mount directory i get the error: no space left on device [10:39] kevin_: do you have an ubuntu issue you need help with [10:39] Yes, crizzy is helping me out [10:39] ix_: If I have a link to what? fstab? It's in the /etc directory. [10:39] Yeah I don't think i have the opengl dep :( [10:39] BlueEagle, I'm not that noobish [10:39] plz hlp me. my all wallpapers are missing now showing only black wallpaper in maverick [10:39] BlueEagle: I shall restart GDM, but I don't like it [10:39] kevin_: this is purely a driver issue :) either 3D works or it doesn't [10:39] Bare with me [10:39] BlueEagle, but what about removable devices? [10:39] I will test this [10:39] kevin_: now, what's your gfx card [10:39] hello [10:39] ix_: Then what do you want a link for? [10:40] Prepare to laugh. Mobile Intel 4 crapcrap lol [10:40] ugh [10:40] :p [10:40] kevin_: try running "glxgears" [10:40] ix_: By default members of plugdev should be able to mount removable devices iirc. [10:40] BlueEagle, I am a member of plugdev, but I can't remove [10:40] ubuntu or debian? [10:41] is there a difference? [10:41] :) [10:41] xD [10:41] kevin_: pls pastebin output of "glxinfo | grep rendering" [10:41] ix_: Are there more users on the system? (ie. did someone else mount it?) [10:41] I enabled lucid partner repositories but apt links don't work for it, says unknown channel and shouldnt i see it under origin in the package manager ? [10:41] kevin_: if it says 'no' you don't have 3D acceleration [10:41] yes there is , and greatly ix_ anonymous666 [10:41] why ubuntu and not debian? [10:41] BlueEagle, halevt mounted it [10:41] http://paste.debian.net/152803/ Ben64 i hoipe i did it good now [10:42] http://pastebin.com/VU48EwRS [10:42] the^user: looks like the drive is formatted strangely, not sure what you can do [10:42] kevin_: yup, your drivers are definitely not working :) [10:42] ix_: Well in 10.04 plugdev could send commands to hal to mount/unmount. I haven't used removable drives since. [10:42] the game itself should work now, though, if your acceleration would work [10:43] ben its strange because 700mb of the drive is virtual wd smart udf [10:43] plz hlp me. my all wallpapers are missing now showing only black wallpaper in maverick [10:43] How am I supposed to make the acceleration work? Like I said the game runs just fine on the same computer under windows [10:43] and that can see ubuntu [10:43] i have no experience with intel cards though, i only know their drivers are worst of all drivers in existence, with amd/nvidia it would likely just work(tm) [10:43] They have a Windows and Linux separate installer as well [10:43] kevin_: this has nothing to do with windows [10:43] the^user: yeah, thats a fake "CD" they have on there [10:43] BlueEagle, ok, thank you, you've helped more than others [10:43] afsal: Where were the wallpapers located before? Is the directory now empty? [10:43] :) [10:43] kevin_: the problem only, and only is, your linux intel drivers don't work right now [10:44] ix_: That's just because I googled "ubuntu plugdev" [10:44] So basically I'm screwed? [10:44] kevin_: basically the same if you would uninstall your gfx drivers from windows and try to run the game with windows'es built-in VGA driver - it would not work [10:44] BlueEagle, if only it was that simple [10:44] BlueEagle: in /usr/share/background . But that not empty [10:45] i have no experience with intel cards, it may or may not be possible to install newer/better drivers for it. can't help there :) [10:45] Ben64, i have a nother question if i do formated itb to ntfs , dan it works only i think the turbo stream dont work any more then ? [10:45] BlueEagle, I google stuff before I ask [10:45] with amd/nvidia, it would Just Work(tm) [10:45] the^user, is is swap or extended partation [10:45] The same crappy game is more graphically demanding on Linux than Windows? [10:45] probably not [10:45] if you would just have working drivers, it would work more or less the same [10:45] I don't understand then, because it's all on the same computer [10:46] I guess the question is is there something more i need to do after enabling lucid-partner repositories to get xubuntu to recognize it ? [10:46] kevin_, what game is it? [10:46] graal [10:46] and what is left, is purely a driver issue [10:46] with some onboard intel car [10:46] BlueEagle: in /usr/share/background . But that not empty [10:46] *card [10:47] kevin_: the driver is a piece of software you need to install to let other programs use the hardware, you installed the driver software in windows but not in linux [10:47] suzanne, ubuntu dont know the partition extention what wd mypaspoort use, so i cant say if it is swap or extended [10:47] well, i can't help more with this, sorry :) )(and i'm off to lunch, bb >>) [10:48] thanks for all the help crizzy [10:48] BlueEagle: in /usr/share/background . But that not empty, the images cannot be open [10:48] user_ i don't recall installing any drivers for the game :P [10:49] how can i get the driver besides package manager? [10:49] you dont install drivers for a game but for your hardware device, all games that needed hw accel would use the same driver [10:49] BlueEagle: I re-installed the ubuntu-wallpapers but same happening [10:50] How am I supposed to get the drivers without the Package Manager though? Unless you know which one i need to look up in the manager.. [10:50] kevin_: whats the graphics card again+ [10:50] im trying to get a boot cd going to flash my bios. i'm following the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789 but when i try to move files over to the mount directory i get the error: no space left on device [10:50] (laughing stock of the neighborhood) Mobile Intel 4 Chipset x.x [10:51] afsal: Check the packages containing 'artwork' and see if you're missing any. [10:51] kevin_: you won't need "drivers" for intel cards [10:51] kevin_: they are part of xorg [10:51] afsal: Sorry, I misread your post. [10:51] What do I need then? :( [10:52] afsal: If they are not readable you need to either make your user a member of the group (provided that the group has read access) or make the files group (or world) readable. [10:53] kevin_: you need to configure xorg to be able to utilise the 3d capabilities of your card, if it's a supported card [10:53] afsal: To do this first enter this in a terminal `ls -la /usr/share/background` to show the owner and group along with the permissions. [10:53] BlueEagle: and the software-center not opening... [10:54] afsal: If the software center is not opening you can use command line tools. [10:54] afsal: ...but it does sound like you have a somewhat broken system. [10:54] I don't know anything about xorg lol and how to utilise it [10:54] BlueEagle: permission for 'root' [10:55] kevin_: you'll probably need to create a custom xorg.conf file to force xorg to use the correct graphics driver in xorg and enable 3D support [10:55] kevin_ could you pastebin the output of inxi -G [10:55] afsal: so the files are owned by root:root and the pemissions are -rwx-r---- or somesuch? [10:55] kevin_: that is assuming that card is supported in linux [10:55] !xrog | kevin_ [10:56] well i'm not sure, because i installed linux on here. the computer came as a windows 7 comp [10:56] BlueEagle: -rw-r--r-- showing this [10:56] !xorg | kevin_ [10:56] kevin_: The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . Also see !xorgconf [10:56] kevin_: the card should be, most intel ones are support [10:56] if it came with win7, it should be a recent card [10:57] afsal: That line shows permissions for owner, group and world prefixed by a directory flag so if the last group of three has r in it then the file is world readable. [10:57] afsal: The next thing to check is if you have access to the directory. [10:57] afsal: Did you do the ls -la as a user or as root? [10:57] ....and he left. [10:58] This is making no sense guys.. [10:58] kevin_: it's making perfect sense [10:58] kevin_: within linux your video card does not auto configure to use it's 3d capabilities [10:59] kevin_: that means you have to manually configure it, providing the card has 3d support options for linux [10:59] :O [10:59] i'm pretty sure it has the compatability, i just need to lear how to configure it [10:59] kevin_: sudo cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi [10:59] kevin_: not all cards have support/compatability in Linux [11:00] kevin_: the run inxi -G so we can knoz the exact type of graphics card [11:00] BlueEagle, you did good better what i could of done...) [11:00] gnome 3 doesn't work with my radeon card (garbled fonts) is this a known issue? [11:00] http://pastebin.com/Fmu5caqM [11:00] jatt: ati has numerous support issues [11:01] hi. Is there a log for system uptime's as well as last resets, power downs, etc? [11:01] suzanne: Thank you. :) [11:02] DrShoggoth: the syslog will show reboots, as will the commands "uptime" and "last" [11:02] darkstar1, uptime is one [11:02] oops DarkStar1 ^ [11:03] kevin_: do the command between "&&" one after another in console, first cd /usr/local/bin then sudo wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi and then sudo chmod +x inxi [11:03] Blue1, welcome ... this is a community " all hangs in the balance Greatness through servitude , and wisedom through desire [11:05] http://pastebin.com/sL7X6jQC [11:05] ikonia: kevin_ thx guys [11:05] kevin_ now you have to pastebin the outptu of inxi -G [11:06] no he doesn't [11:06] it was a 302 [11:06] Hi! [11:06] ah, it's a symlink [11:06] http://pastebin.com/4zKmHE6g [11:07] BlueEagle: sorry ..Network error [11:07] afsal: That happens. Did you do the `ls -la` as root or normal user? [11:07] is there an application that can pickup colors in gnome? [11:07] like a color picker? [11:08] on diffrent applications and background? [11:08] BlueEagle: root [11:08] ashii: gpick [11:08] kevin_: you need to install missing packages the script needs, currently it is complaining about gawk not being installed so run: sudo apt-get install gawk [11:08] Tell me, can someone tell me why the debian based distributions are responding to broadcasted ping, even if sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts is set to 1 by default [11:08] ? [11:09] BlueEagle: as root.. [11:09] this value seems to be inverted [11:09] and i don't know why [11:10] okay gawk has been added [11:10] afsal: Ok. Then you most likely no longer have access to the directory. In order try this and see which one does not end with an x in the privilege string `ls -la /|grep usr`, `ls -la /usr|grep share` and `ls -la /usr/share|grep background` [11:11] kevin_: try to run inxi -G again [11:11] how do i change the fonts in ubuntu 11.10? [11:11] afsal: when you find the one missing the ending x do `chmod a+x /path/to/directory` where /path/to/directory is the path to the offending directory. [11:11] http://pastebin.com/X7dEGRRL [11:11] ljsoftnet right click on the desktop, properties, choose fonts [11:12] MonkeyDust its not there [11:12] BlueEagle: all the dirs are ending 'x' [11:13] BlueEagle: all the dirs are ending 'x' like this 'drwxr-xr-x' [11:13] noone?

So if you try as a regular user: `ls -la /usr/share/background` you do get a list of files? [11:16] BlueEagle: yes.. [11:16] afsal: Then the user does have access to the files. However the files may be corrupt (ie. not containing valid image data) [11:17] afsal: Please try to open the file in Gimp or similar image viewer. [11:18] user_ you there? [11:19] i need to burn an iso to usb [11:20] JBunny: Technically USB-s are not burned. Do you need to boot and install ubuntu from that USB? [11:21] Seems like i was getting pretty close to a solution, but it seems the guy that was helping me has left. [11:21] BlueEagle: my image viewers are not working... But it opening in firefox... [11:22] afsal: Are you receiving any error messages when attempting to open the image viewers? [11:22] afsal: Sounds like you really should boot from a livecd and fsck your linux partitions. [11:22] !fsck [11:22] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [11:23] afsal: Actually do the touch /forcefsck thingy and reboot. [11:23] afsal: Not sure if you need to do that on all partitions though. [11:24] BlueEagle: ok.. i'm going to do that [11:24] my fullscreen size seems different under different users, anyone got a clue where to configure this? [11:24] Hi - I keep getting these squares appearing on my dual monitor setup, they appear as remnants of what was there before, and then go grey. Anyone had this? [11:24] I don't know if it's due to nvidia's support for sopa that's censoring my desktop.. [11:25] Hi. I have an issue with the locale of the system. I have a web app which gets the currency locale and even though the output of locale says LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" somehow the software is still getting the currency in £s [11:25] is there any place else where the locale of the system might be overriding this? [11:26] sorry I meant are there any other system variables that might over ride this [11:26] ? [11:30] kevin_: pastebin the output of lshw -C display [11:32] http://pastebin.com/7g4ZEVbp [11:32] does anyone know how to fix ubuntu monitor problems? grey boxes appearing everywhere... Also when I bring up the menus on one monitor, it hides the foreground in the other one [11:34] kevin_ you need to type "display" behind it [11:34] hey everyone [11:35] how do I get rid of those new scrollbars?

[11:41] they do not work in some apps [11:41] just no functionallity [11:41] kevin_: did it install some new packages? if it did restart your x session [11:41] I found other packages to remove to get rid of them [11:42] I try i out and tell you if it worked ;) [11:42] its weird how both openshot and also kdenlive are not working :s [11:42] ah I didn't get that.. if I jiggled things around it'll find them, but if they don't work it's usually because there are other widgets in the way [11:42] yes please DarsVaeda :) [11:42] i feel like a dipshit but what is an xsession? [11:42] does ayone knoe what could be the issue? [11:42] :s [11:42] kevin_: tone down the langauge [11:42] lol [11:43] Jonny find out what the common factor is and work on that [11:43] kevin_: just reboot [11:43] xsession isn't a swear word. it's a session in X11 isn't it? [11:44] MokeyDust, i am just running it through terminal at the momet [11:44] when i reboot the game should run? [11:44] i think somethig has happend sice an update [11:45] kevin_: maybe [11:45] Jonny openshot and kdenlive are no terminal commands, are they? [11:45] i just started it through terminal to see when it crashes [11:46] this is what i have in terms of an error : Failed to import 'from openshot import main' [11:47] shomon: sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar3-0.2-0 liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0 [11:47] that worked for me [11:47] hi.

[11:50] I'm on 11.10 [11:50] DarsVaeda you can download a PPA for MyUnity [11:50] ah, 11.04 [11:51] damn :s [11:51] is there something wrong with the latest kdenlive repo? [11:54] i think i have the development repo which could cause these errors [11:55] where does phpmyadmin install to? [11:55] I still can't get that stupid game to run >:( [11:56] kevin_ has it worked before? if not, then maybe it's just not possible [11:56] kevin_ can you output info of glxinfo [11:57] fosa_, it tells you in the termina l [11:57] hiexpa: what tells me?

[12:17] LjL, so if i do dpkg -S php.ini | grep bin it should spit out where the php.ini file is? [12:17] nielz: GUI is evil. [12:17] phibxr: mounting manually will work fine, issue is with automounting [12:17] nielz: I don't even know *how* to set mount options via the GUI [12:18] Has anyone received this error with kdenlive "missing MLT's SDL Module not found" [12:18] theadmin: yet I need to do it via the gui, I know how to mount a drive manually or via fstab [12:18] dant sort it [12:18] fosa_: no, no, "dpkg -S" gives you a package name. it tells you which *package* the file is in. "grep bin" only makes sense for "dpkg -L", because it filters out file entries that don't contain "bin", so you basically only get the executable files [12:18] cant seem to sort it [12:18] theadmin: but I have no set the option and it must be stored *somewhere* [12:18] fosa_: if you want to know where php.ini is, do "dpkg -L php | grep php.ini" [12:19] #java [12:19] nielz: dconf probably. [12:20] the MLT SDL error seems to be a common error though not able to find a fix [12:20] can anyone shed any light on this? === Jens_ is now known as quasselcore_jens [12:21] i am searching for a C++ compiler for ubuntu [12:21] !info g++ | Thodoris [12:21] Thodoris: g++ (source: gcc-defaults (1.107ubuntu5)): GNU C++ compiler.

Or remove gnome setting folders of the current one. [12:31] theadmin: i was chmoded already /etc/gconf/gconf.xnl.system but it dosnt solve [12:31] been having a prob with Openshot at the moment as well [12:32] I will give VLMC another go [12:32] theadmin: i am now in recovery mode .

[12:34] MonkeyDust: You didn't read my question. I'm the opposite, windows boot has broken after repairing grub, not vice versa. [12:35] llsam: That's weird, haven't heard of that before. Oh well: sudo mount -o remount,rw / && sudo rm -r /home/your_username/.* && sync && sudo mount -o remount,ro / && sudo reboot -f [12:35] chrionix maybe you find some useful hints on those pages [12:35] llsam: That will remove all your user's configs, allowing them to be recreated. [12:35] MonkeyDust: No, I won't. I've read those pages. [12:36] ok [12:37] theadmin: yes exactly..i couldnt fin any answares on the web for this error...so you suggest i to use those comands above? sorry im just simply user, not a geek [12:38] llsam: I can see that, don't worry, yes, run those from the recovery mode's root shell [12:38] theadmin: okay, I will do that..thnk you very much [12:38] llsam: Make sure to type them EXACTLY as they are. Linux is case-sensetive, so "sudo" and "SuDo" and "SUDO" are not the same thing (and only the first will work), too. All the symbols are also important. [12:39] theadmin: okay, i will be careful [12:40] hey, i've just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a new desktop computer with a nvidia GTX 560 graphics card. xorg uses the nouveau driver by default, can't go above 1024x768, which is quite awful on my 24" screen. [12:40] how to install the nvidia drivers? [12:41] Tellmarch: Check jockey. Also, sometimes Xorg can't auto-detect the video card, you might want a separate section in xorg.conf for that [12:41] Tellmarch, just bring up the Dash and search for Additional Drivers. [12:41] Tellmarch, oh, 10.04. no dash then. [12:42] Tellmarch, find "Additional Drivers" under the System menu somewhere. :) [12:42] the "Hardware drivers" menu options find nothing to use [12:42] funy everytime i import a file in openshop it crashes :) [12:42] (the list is empty) [12:42] love it :) [12:42] Tellmarch, then grab the drivers straight from NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [12:42] Tellmarch: Hm, then you're pretty ducked, probably search nvidia.com [12:42] ok, thanks [12:42] theadmin: just one quastion: should i rite all this senrtence at one line in the console or is the / just a break betwenn each commands? [12:42] that's what i would have done, wondered if there was a more "ubuntu" way [12:43] Tellmarch, keep in mind if you're using a system with both an intel and an nvidia-card that your nvidia-card probably is inactive. [12:43] ^ÂÊÎÔÛâêîôûĈĉĜĝĤĥĴĵŜŝŴŵŶŷˆ̭̂᷍ḒḓḘḙḼḽṊṋṰṱṶṷẐẑẤấẦầẨẩẪẫẬậẾếỀềỂểỄễỆệỐốỒồỔổỖỗỘộ⨣⨶⩯ꞈ＾󠁞 [12:43] oh. [12:43] that might be the problem [12:43] llsam: It's a single line, also, "&&" means a new command (though you can either hit Enter OR type "&&", it's the same stuff) [12:43] !unicode | nigus [12:43] it's a i7-2600, so there should be an intel HD2000 somewhere... [12:43] Bah [12:43] how to fix that? [12:43] Tellmarch, usually you can toggle a 'Compatible'-switch in BIOS which will disable the Intel-card. that's what I have done on my UL30VT. [12:43] theadmin: ok. i understand. Do you have any idea why my problem apears? [12:44] llsam: Because gnome configs are messed up [12:44] complete bs, some of the best video editors on liux and they are broken :P [12:44] Tellmarch: don't get the drivers from nvidia.com [12:44] guest session , is there a way to have it on the logon manager? [12:44] theadmin: hmmm...whish i did it by self [12:44] phibxr: don't direct people to nvidia.com to get drivers [12:44] ok i try now to recover the settings [12:45] phibxr, on the other hand, it's nouveau driver that is used [12:45] so it sees the nvidia card i guess [12:45] hello [12:45] (plus it works on the dual booted windows seven) [12:45] Ben64, how to install them then? [12:45] is this the right place where I can ask questions about ubuntu? [12:46] Tellmarch: Hardware Drivers, or install from synaptic [12:46] miko_mirane: Yeah. [12:46] Ben64, it's not in hardware drivers. what package to use with synaptic? [12:46] okay, well, im having troubles with dapper and the openthinclient developer package [12:46] Tellmarch: search for nvidia, it will likely be nvidia-new [12:47] btw [12:47] nvidia is in the restricted hardware section [12:47] from there you can dl a third-party driver [12:47] Hello [12:48] lots of answer with apt-cache search... can it be "nvidia-current"? [12:49] Tellmarch, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [12:49] 10.04 [12:49] (LTS) [12:49] Tellmarch: that should work, but you sure its not in Hardware Drivers? [12:49] yes, i checked [12:49] it doesn't offer anything there [12:50] that's odd [12:50] Tellmarch: http://www.ben64.com/hardwaredrivers.png [12:50] nothing like that? [12:50] well, tried messing with the boot options? [12:50] so that it can recognize nvidia? [12:50] Ben64, the list is empty here [12:50] Tellmarch: then go for nvidia-current [12:51] it sees an nvidia card, since it uses nouveau [12:51] installing nvidia-current now [12:55] uh. [12:55] installed nvidia-current, ran nvidia-xconfig, rebooted [12:55] not working '^^ [12:55] X is panicking [12:56] Tellmarch: why nvidia-xconfig [12:56] does anyone know if you can add title clips with pitivi> [12:56] ? [12:57] Tellmarch: and what is the output of "lspci | grep -i vga" [12:57] Ben64, nvidia-xconfig because without it just used the same driver as before, nouveau [12:58] and nvidia-settings asked me to do so [12:58] as for the lspci output... trying to recover from the broken X...

Any more details? [13:06] no problem in the .conf [13:07] but XOrg failed with "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernle module" [13:07] that sounds like a problem [13:07] yeah [13:07] Hi all.

[13:26] Hi everyone, i am on university campus and i want to do a apt-get but i am behind a proxy and it doesnt work, anyone know how to get this to work ? [13:26] hello [13:26] :D [13:26] auronandace: becouse i was stupid and didnt think on my own [13:26] mxj : thanks dude :) [13:27] Hi guys. I'm putting oneiric on a Dell d630 and I keep getting a message in the boot.log that says "FATAL: Error inserting pcc_cpufreq". The cpu seems to be scaling ok but the error worries me anyway... any suggestions? [13:27] mxj : do you know how to customize these short cuts ? [13:27] hi guys, I'm trying to sort out networking on an Ubuntu VM running on Windows Hyper-V (yes, yuck, I know), having a bit of a headache. It was setup with legacy networking adaptor, but I was getting some really weird network issues, e.g. ping'ing bbc.co.uk would give 5000ms, 4000ms, 3000ms, 2000ms, 1000ms then 4ms (4ms is normal). So I've switched over to the normal network adaptor, and I've [13:27] got the hv-* modules in initrd and the network works fine, 4ms pings to bbc. However, the alias'ed network adaptors, eth0:0 and eth0:1 no longer work, any ideas? [13:28] llsam: we all learn from our own mistakes :) [13:28] i really dont understand why i cant find any solution for updating ubuntu behind a firewall at university [13:28] is it that hard to fix this !?!?!?!?!?! [13:28] Chipzzz: if it makes you feel any better I'm on the exact same laptop right now and I don't have that error in mine [13:28] it almost forces me to ditch ubuntu and go back to windows [13:28] auronandace:puh...you couldnt imagine how im feeling now [13:28] M0rriz: Huh, uh, what's the real problem with that? I think APT uses port 80 (or am I wrong?) [13:28] i cant do anything now [13:29] theadmin, i need to use a proxy setting i found a few solutions [13:29] but none work actually [13:29] searched the ubuntu forums [13:29] encountered many people with the same problem [13:29] but no solution [13:29] llsam: at least now you won't likely repeat that mistake [13:29] Myrtti: thanks for that... I really like the laptop & it runs oneiric really well... i'm just looking around to see what needs fixin' at this point [13:30] auronandace: never..but i feel realy lamed now..i am not a geek...normal user without much hackintg experience [13:31] theadmin, you see, this is what i get always, people ignoring me, thanks for that :) [13:31] M0rriz: I ain't ignoring you, I just don't know the answer. Don't mean to offend. [13:31] M0rriz: Perhaps this helps. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/how-to-set-up-proxy-in-apt-gets-apt-conf-265793/ [13:31] M0rriz: That's how it usually is on IRC, don't know the answer -- stop talking. [13:32] auronandace: ist there any possibility to recover this data? [13:32] xauth, i found that, its not working\ [13:32] !undelete | llsam [13:32] llsam: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [13:32] "virtually impossible"? Photorec recovers even from ext4, not to speak of ext3... [13:32] M0rriz: I'd say it should. [13:33] Weird factoid [13:33] llsam: in other words, it might be possible but not likely (or easy) [13:33] there's also scalpel [13:33] auronandace: i must try it [13:33] auronandace: better i dont reboot now [13:34] Slart: sorry for the late reply have been trying to find a fix, none found yet. My brand of laptop in an Acer Aspire 3733Z. [13:34] Right after updated today, my screen went black. But I think it was not crashed. I could go to other ttys and rebooted. After that, every time after I logged in into my user or root, the screen goes black. But I can log in to Guest normally. Any suggestions? [13:34] ubottu: thanks [13:34] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [13:34] llsam: Sorry about that, I just never thought anything *important* might be in hidden folders... [13:34] Another issue i am having is, everytime i try to use the command sudo, i get this error 'sudo: unable to resolve host pseudo.svndr.net' [13:35] theadmin: my all work..A lot of data ..years of work [13:35] Pseudoephedrine: no worries..

It looks a lot like Gnome2 and you'll feel right at home with it [13:35] !nountiy | Tellmarch [13:36] !nounity | Tellmarch [13:36] Tellmarch: 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 [13:36] is there a way to specify focus follow mouse? [13:36] llsam: i alway keep my important stuff on another partition and back it up on an external harddrive [13:36] Slart: Nope, the ALT+left/right keys will show the widget for brightness being changes, but do not change it, nor does the slider in 'screen' [13:36] theadmin: lot of my programs and tools create hiddn folders for collecting local data [13:36] theadmin: thank you :) [13:36] Myrtti: nobody else seems to have any ideas, would you mind checking something for me please? [13:36] llsam: Well yeah, configs [13:36] sure [13:36] auronandace: my /home/is on external partition [13:37] llsam: They shouldn't be too important... imo... idk [13:37] Pseudoephedrine: are you sure the model is Acer Aspire 3733Z. I get no hits at all on google for that [13:37] llsam: i don't keep my important data on /home/ [13:37] can you tell me what "modprobe -l pcc_cpufreq" says? [13:38] auronandace: ... [13:38] Chipzzz: kernel/drivers/cpufreq/pcc-cpufreq.ko [13:38] jessus [13:38] llsam: it is good practice to keep important data seperate from the OS [13:38] Slart: sorry, 5733Z, new keyboard layout, trying to get used to it still ;p [13:38] auronandace: how i said...i had never problems like this [13:39] Chipzzz: pcc-cpufreq gives the same answer [13:39] Pseudoephedrine: ah.. I get more hits now.. I'll be back in a minute [13:39] Right after I updated my Ubuntu 11.10 today, my screen went black. But I think it was not crashed. I could go to other ttys and rebooted. After that, every time after I logged in into my user or root, the screen goes black. But I can log in to Guest normally. Any suggestions? [13:39] why doesn't ubuntu package truecrypt? does anybody know? [13:39] kandinski: truecrypt license forbids it [13:39] llsam: now you see why it is good practice (not nice to learn the hard way though) [13:39] Slart: i have looked on google i have tried multiple things, like changing the 'setpci' and none have seemed to work as of yet [13:40] Pseudoephedrine: tried this one? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620063 [13:40] Myrtti: ...and "cat /var/log/boot.log | grep pcc_cpufreq" doesn't return anything? [13:40] Myrtti: That's odd, considering that, for instane, Gentoo or ArchLinux package it... [13:40] Myrtti: for instance* [13:41] Where exactly would one suggest to keep my data if not in /home/ ? If I don't want it on an external one. ? [13:41] Myrtti: ah, thanks [13:41] Myrtti: is there an alternative, or is truecrypt the recommended method for encrypting a USB disk? [13:42] kandinski: I'd use TrueCrypt. Just grab it from their site, it's not hard to install at all. [13:42] Chipzzz: no, btw "grep pcc_cpufreq /var/log/boot.log/ would have returned the same result [13:42] auronandace: i look on the documantation but i dont see there any possibility to recover explicite folders...just all partitions. I m affraid to do that [13:42] theadmin: thanks too [13:42] kandinski: truecrypt is the best if you want to get crossplatform support [13:42] sattu94: i use a seperate storage partition [13:42] sattu94: I have a network mapped place for important stuff which I mount in /home/slart/mystuff, then I leave the rest of the stuff in /home/slart be where ever it wants.. I don't need to backup the settings for minesweeper =) [13:42] Myrtti: I'm not seeing it in dmesg, just boot.log === Damn3d_ is now known as Damn3d [13:42] Slart: No, not yet. that was going to be my last method, im not fond of editing files i dont know what they do, if this file safe to edit? in your opinion? [13:42] auronandace: i came here for help [13:43] Myrtti: it's for my backups and work files, so yeah, knowing that in a pinch I can get to it from a random Windows computer would be nice [13:43] /{var,opt,usr,etc,media,lib,dev,bin} are all out of question I guess. [13:43] auronandace: i thought it is a support channel [13:43] thanks Myrtti theadmin [13:43] llsam: i can only help you with what i know [13:43] auronandace: sómetimes is very hard to hear that the really big supporter making advice to the people as they should lknow everything.. [13:44] Chipzzz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/809638/ [13:44] Pseudoephedrine: well.. grub handles the loading of ubuntu at the very start.. it's a pretty important system.. but also quite easy to fix if you've got a live cd/live usb around.. and you can always undo that change that is mentionded when booting [13:44] llsam: i've never had to restore my data, but i have given you advise on why it is important to have backups [13:44] Pseudoephedrine: so I wouldn't be afraid of editing that file, no [13:44] auronandace: thank you [13:45] llsam: sorry i can't help you recover the data, my experience in that area is very limited [13:45] Slart: Ok, just edited the line, still no change, should i try a reboot or should it be working? [13:45] auronandace: okay, thank you anyway very much [13:46] Pseudoephedrine: yes.. that change won't take effect until you reboot [13:46] is there another repo to get util-linux as the repo the company uses has been block [13:46] Slart: Ok, i will be back ;p [13:46] Pseudoephedrine: good luck =) [13:47] theadmin: could you help me in this problem now..im afraid to reboot the system to not make data completly lost === om26er_ is now known as om26er [13:48] Myrtti: darndest thing! I can't figure it out! Thanks for helping, I'll have to mess with this after I get some sleep... Thanks again :) [13:48] it is much more efficient to use sloppy focus than click focus, I don't get why that is not the default [13:48] llsam: Well it is completely lost, anyway, well... You can try data recovery tools. But... I can't guarantee anything... Sorry I made you lose important things :( [13:48] I'm running ubuntu 11.10, and my /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting reverted (presumably by network manager) while the system is running. anybody have any ideas how to avoid that. this is a problem since it reverts it to using the wrong nameservers [13:49] ghostmediapro: You can use any other ubuntu repository mirror. [13:49] Chipzzz: check your BIOS settings, that might be a good idea [13:49] loganrun: It's default in most tiling wms, but not in stacking ones. [13:49] Slart: I'm no longer being blinded, thanks for the help [13:49] theadmin: it was my fault that i didt interprated your advices..i am really distroyed now [13:49] Pseudoephedrine: it worked? great! [13:49] Myrtti: Thanks... I hadn't thought of that... good idea, but I'll still have to do it after some sleep ;) [13:50] llsam: Not your fault, noobs shouldn't try to understand stuff they can't... blame me if you want to, just don't swear too much [13:50] Slart: It sure did! Thanks again [13:50] theadmin, if you are trying to work with more than one window it is a pain because whenver you click it brings the other window to the top and hinds the window you currently were working on potentially, a serious pain [13:50] loganrun: Try i3. Or awesome. or dwm. Or any other tiling wm :D Seems stacking is not for you [13:51] theadmin: so lets back to the new user i made..how should i go farward now? [13:51] llsam: You should reboot and then select the new user at the login screen, after which, well, your system should be usable [13:51] theadmin, how do you change window managers in ubuntu? [13:52] loganrun: Install a new one and somehow make it start default (idk how to do it in desktop environments, I myself use standalone openbox) [13:52] theadmin: but can i come back to my old user after that? [13:53] llsam: If you can get that user's account to work again, sure. [13:53] could i use a live cd to fix the /usr/bin/startx: line 138: /usr/bin/mcookie: no such file or directory [13:54] theadmin: i would like to contact again if i get trouble with that, is it ok? [13:54] theadmin, was able to find how to change to sloppy focus which seems o.k. for now. is the dashboard part of the window manager I assume? [13:54] llsam: Sure thing. [13:54] loganrun: You mean the unity dash? Yeah, sadly [13:54] Right after I updated my Ubuntu 11.10 today, my screen went black. But I think it was not crashed. I could go to other ttys and rebooted. After that, every time after I logged in into my user or root, the screen goes black. But I can log in to Guest normally. Somebody help me .. [13:54] theadmin, yes [13:54] Hi there.. I"m locked out of gnome do because it is having an issue with the google docs plugin this morning and dies. How do I remove the google docs plugin from the shell? [13:55] theadmin, yeah, you loose a lot of the features of the distribution if you use a non standard window manager [13:55] loganrun: I use openbox and am fully satisfied with how it works :D So, meh. [13:55] loganrun: Me doesn't likes Unity [13:59] theadmin: i have also problem to start gdm under new user [13:59] llsam: Why are you starting gdm as a user? [13:59] theadmin: the same error msg ...sanity check [13:59] llsam: Huh. Now this is really weird. Sorry, I don't even know anymore. [13:59] theadmin: i dont understand this quastion...how else? [14:00] llsam: when you say start gdm are you referring to the login manager? [14:00] <_UsUrPeR_> morning all. Where can I cat /dev to get my current CPU loads? [14:00] auronandace: yes i do [14:00] llsam: the login manager should start on its own [14:00] _UsUrPeR_: "uptime" provides load averages if that's what you mean, I have no idea why you want to cat /dev stuff for that [14:01] llsam: what version of ubuntu are you using? [14:01] auronandace: it is starting but looks differrent and also gdm power manager complains [14:01] auronandace: 10.04 64bit [14:01] Does Linux need anything special to be able to read a GPT external HDD? [14:01] llsam: there is no such thing as gdm power manager [14:01] <_UsUrPeR_> theadmin: I am trying to put together a simple script to incrementally log server stats to a text file [14:01] llsam: gdm is the gnome display manager [14:01] auronandace: some power manager or something === Guest29216 is now known as AndrewMC [14:02] auronandace:gdm ist gnome display manager [14:03] llsam: so gdm (the login screen) loads fine and you can enter your username and password? [14:03] auronandace: yes...but it looks crappy ..i can choose there users but no other options available as normal [14:04] llsam: what happens when you login? [14:05] auronandace: it gives error...something with sanity-check of gconf [14:05] wonders if llsam has changed login theme? [14:05] auronandace: sorry i cant say now exactly# [14:05] llsam, you need to enter the user first, to make a change in GDM [14:06] llsam: and that is with the newly created user? [14:06] auronandace: yes also with the new created user [14:06] llsam: hmm, something is very broken [14:07] llsam: when did you first have this problem [14:07] auronandace: yes. my disk? [14:08] auronandace: it apears yesterday during some installation of eclipse plugins...i lost suddenly permissions. i have reboot and saw sanity-check errors [14:08] auronandace: i discover also another problems with mktemp [14:09] llsam: where did you get the eclipse plugins from? did you install eclipse from the repo? [14:09] auronandace: no, i have removed ecliupse from the repos and took brand fresh indigo version from the eclipse site [14:10] llsam: ah, that means we can't support you with eclipse [14:10] auronandace: becouse i have problems with installing subcliupse plugin, some developer told me this is becouse the old ubuntu repe bvuild [14:10] llsam: how old is your harddrive? [14:11] auronandace: eclipse is not the problem right now...i can leave without eclipse [14:11] auronandace: let me think..some 3 years...it is sata [14:12] llsam: hmm, my guess is that eclipse is to blame [14:12] auronandace: what are you suggesting? to go and by new hd and install fresh system? [14:13] auronandace: shit..thats bad [14:13] llsam: i'm not sure how you installed it, but i'd reccomend removing it [14:13] !language | llsam [14:13] llsam: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [14:13] auronandace: how can be possible that eclipse messed so badly system?= [14:14] llsam: i don't know, but if this problen occurred directly after installing the plugins, something changed somewhere that broke something [14:14] auronandace: sorry for my language! thats becouse im so destroyed now :) [14:14] seems like I have a package installed in /usr/local/bin, and dpkg dont detect that package. so when I install the package (ref . newer version) it goes into /usr/bin. But when I do a which packagename. it takes the one in /usr/local/bin (old version). is that because of /usr/local/bin in export | grep PATH is defined before /usr/bin? and how is the correct way of uninstall it ? [14:15] cjoke: Yes, whichever is defined first comes first [14:16] llsam: things like this is why i only stick to what is in the official repos [14:17] auronandace: i will go now to by a new disk, and i will try to install new system. could you tell me if this brand new ubuntu is good and stable enough for my all hard core grafix stuff? [14:17] llsam: 11.10 works fine for me [14:17] 'hardcore grafix' [14:17] how big is your harddrive llsam ? [14:18] llsam: not sure why you want to get a new harddrive [14:18] i would dualboot 11.10 move data from 10.04 first [14:18] auronandace: i will need to install blender cycles render machine, with newwest nvidia driver, opensim server with mono, eclipse indigo and lot of other tools [14:19] llsam: do you use a lot of ppas? [14:19] theadmin, ok, then my (sudo?) dpkg environment is having /usr/bin/ before /usr/local/bin. and as the user trying too execute having it the other way in PATH then? or is it more too it ? [14:20] omg, my sentences is build in a awfoul way. Ill figure it out, thanks :) [14:20] auronandace: yes...

Any good way of reinstalling all or most of my programs without nuking? [15:07] theishi: first, try reinstalling the package "ubuntu-desktop" to ensure you have everything needed. if that doesn't help, i'd suggest using the program "debsums" to find out about any files which might be corrupt/modified, and reinstall the relevant packages [15:08] Guys how do I check if there is something missing for a installation? it doesn't give me any errors when i try ./BTLive or with sudo [15:08] perl uses gems? [15:08] theishi: what did you mess up? [15:09] coleix: pershap read through that script for a clue [15:09] whats btlive anyway [15:09] nielz: Well most things seem to be working fine, but perl freezes when running tested scripts. gems will not install anything, and I recently told apt-get to ignore some warnings that I worry is causing problems now [15:10] a new bittorrent protocol for streaming needs the program [15:10] Guys I keep getting the message "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/extra/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found" can I remove that repo?

[15:16] wh1zz0: suppose you've tried "sudo rfkill unblock all"? [15:16] Do I have to do anything special when setting up an Ubuntu box to later use kvm/libvirt to create virtual images?

[15:22] theishi: if it's that transient, for some reason i tend to suspect hardware issues. i'd check your drives (smartmontools) and your memory (memtest86+) [15:23] LjL: you are probably right especially being it is working now...

[16:06] KRS_: i think so, brasero might be on there (not sure, i use xubuntu) [16:06] RamtinA: This channel isn't going to allow you to get a proxy. [16:07] stability is hugly important. Dont want to rant about it as ubuntu is awesome. Cant find fixes anywhere and cant spare all day trying to fix this issue :s [16:07] i upgarded to 11.10 after that there was no www folder anymore. have no idea where it is [16:07] persiluhu: Did you simply upgrade or do a fresh install? [16:07] there is not even a new empty one its just gone [16:07] jutnux: i don't want a proxy i just need a client name :-?? [16:07] auronandace: yeah found that now.. :-) [16:07] i upgraded from usb stick without internet connection [16:07] RamtinA: Do a bit of Googling. [16:07] jutnux: i did [16:08] persiluhu: type sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ if you want apache easily. [16:08] jutnux: and i think that's good for you to know i can't search proxy in my country :) :P [16:08] persiluhu try the command tasksel (task select) [16:08] i know, but the point is i need the old folder back. there where homepages and scripst in it i stupidly didnt backup [16:09] anyone know why rendering would constantly crash with kdenlive? [16:09] ikonia: we'll thanks anyway, i'll try tapping blindly to safe graphics mode [16:09] need_help: no no no no [16:09] need_help: just boot from a livecd - hopefully that should give you some sort of display [16:10] RamtinA, use tor https://www.torproject.org/ [16:10] scarleo:ok thank you so much :) [16:10] !info redsocks | RamtinA, but socks is hardly the only option [16:10] RamtinA, but socks is hardly the only option: Package redsocks does not exist in oneiric [16:10] err [16:10] Precise package, nevermind [16:10] !info tsocks | RamtinA [16:10] RamtinA: tsocks (source: tsocks): transparent network access through a SOCKS 4 or 5 proxy. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.8beta5-9.1 (oneiric), package size 269 kB, installed size 660 kB [16:11] RamtinA: remember it might be illegal to do so, and you might end up in trouble. [16:11] LjL: thanks [16:11] ubottu: thanks [16:11] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [16:12] i have tried uninstalling and installing both kdenlive and openshot with no avail [16:12] anyone could share their comments that would be great [16:12] how come /var/www is deleted after upgrade, but /home isnt? [16:13] persiluhu: it shouldn't be [16:13] persiluhu fresh install or upgraded with a command? [16:13] does ubuntu server have energy management? [16:13] vite: yes [16:13] LjL: I just encountered an error though. Now if i click the start menu up and click it down again the image of the start menu is still on the screen but it's not active, if you understand? [16:14] ikonia: how does it work/ [16:15] vite: what do you mean ? [16:15] ikonia: :) sure. but it is. its not in lost+found or sth ... but: the owner was the system user and it was on an own partioin. any ideas? [16:15] Hi ! how do i start "screen -amdS ssh ~/script.sh" at startup!?!? [16:15] persiluhu: it's gone [16:15] Hi! How do I install anything in Ubuntu 9.04 if repositories stopped updating last year? [16:15] Nfisher try adding it to .profile [16:16] ikonia: how does ubuntu 11.10 server energy management work [16:16] you need to use the old repo, but be aware nothing is maintained, it's dead [16:16] vite: what do you mean how does it work [16:16] auronandace: LjL: i installed the .deb using dpkg and it works fine, didn't break anything - ty for your support [16:16] Kasper: maybe the intel driver wasn't the right driver. try doing "cat /var/log/Xorg.*.log | grep -i driver" [16:16] HOYGAN que cómo hago yo la mierda esa [16:16] MonkeyDust, hmm? [16:16] !es | usuario [16:16] usuario: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [16:17] usuario: you should upgrade. anyway, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ [16:17] btw anyone knows a tool to capture server loads on a nice web interface ( cpu, mem, disk, network) [16:17] ikonia: thats shit! ^^ but how come that ubuntu does delete partitions on upgrade??? thats seems verry stupid ... btw home wasnt touched [16:17] MonkeyDust, how do i do that? [16:17] persiluhu: easy with the language please [16:17] persiluhu: it shouldn't do that, as I said [16:17] persiluhu: you need to find out why it did [16:17] blablabla thanks for your "UNatention" [16:17] bye [16:17] ikonia: how is the energy managed? [16:18] vite: through kernel processes [16:18] ok, would anyone recommend any decent video editors? [16:18] ikonia: cant you give me hint where to start? [16:18] AndyUbuntu: kdenlive [16:18] !kdenlive | AndyUbuntu [16:18] persiluhu: what do you mean ??? you did the upgrade, check the logs of what it did, check the documentation of what's meant to have done [16:19] persiluhu: hang on [16:19] AndyUbuntu: cinelerra, avidemux, stopmotion, blender, lives, openmovieeditor, jahshaka, openshot — GNOME: pitivi, kino — KDE: kdenlive — console: gopchop, avidemux-cli [16:19] persiluhu: is /var/www on it's own partition ? [16:19] ikonia: does that mean that if server idles or less cpu is needed, then it will consume less energy from the grid? [16:19] xsl: AndyUbuntu seems to be having trouble with both kdenlive and openshot [16:19] it used to be [16:19] xsl, thanks [16:19] vite: it will request less from the PSU, how efficient your PSU is will depend on how much less energy it uses [16:19] pangolin thanks I will have a look [16:19] anyone run desura === vikas is now known as Guest30422 [16:20] Nfisher maybe this link is useful http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-user/421854-bashrc-profile-password-less-ssh.html [16:20] does anyone know of the professional one that is coming to linux? [16:20] I wonder if the power supply throttles back and uses less power from the grid if that happens [16:20] preferrebly i would love to get kdenlive working again [16:20] ikonia: /var was on a own one. except www everything is still there [16:21] vite: it should [16:21] as it is awesome [16:21] persiluhu: this is a sill question, but is your /var partition mounted ? === matt_ is now known as Guest92908 [16:21] silly [16:21] ikonia:sure [16:22] MonkeyDust, i now added a bashscript into /etc/init.d with the lines "screen -amdS ssh ~/script.sh" should do the job, huh? [16:22] LjL: This is from the machine that I am currently on (the machine with no problems): http://pastebin.com/60mPuPhq - And this is from the one with the video problem: pastebin.com/M6dx1NDY [16:22] persiluhu: has it just deleted the content of that one dir, or everytyhing on /var is new ? [16:22] hi [16:22] Nfisher cannot say [16:22] which syslog log file is the most generic syslog log file in /var ? [16:22] folks, I'm drowning in udev…. can somebody please explain to me how i can tell udev to ignore hard drives @boot time === nes is now known as j00fool [16:23] I' see there are blacklist rules… but not sure how to implement these appropraitely [16:23] zaki: I guess you mean /var/log/syslog [16:23] Kasper: intel seems correct to me based on that... i don't know :\ [16:23] ok anyone know why openshot would crash on importing any files? [16:23] ts2, may be, i'll check [16:24] LjL: Ah well, it hasn't happened since a reboot. Knock on wood :) [16:24] hi [16:24] ts2, if you'll want to track what's going on in the system generally, which log file you'll tail -f ? [16:24] ikonia: seems all to be new. but there isnt even a new empty www [16:25] persiluhu: is apache installed ? [16:25] zaki: that one [16:25] not anymore due to no internet connection on update. i expected that. [16:25] could mlt be causing issues at all? [16:26] ts2, thx [16:26] with both the video editors? [16:26] persiluhu: I didn't expect that [16:26] persiluhu: if you have apache installed and upgrade, it should upgrade apache, not remove it [16:26] persiluhu: it should certainly not delete all of /var [16:26] that is not an upgrade, that is a clean install === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [16:26] whats the deal with inotify limits? [16:27] i cant tail files right now [16:27] in what way "the deal" [16:27] tail tells me "no space left on device" [16:27] googled a bit, seems to be inotify related [16:27] why do you think that's inotify ? [16:27] google told me [16:27] ok - what did google tell you to do to fix it ? [16:28] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/700958 [16:28] Ubuntu bug 700958 in coreutils (Ubuntu) "tail -f gives misleading error message when inotify limit is reached" [Low,Triaged] [16:28] mdel: ok, so what does the bug tell you to do to fix it ? [16:28] is there a fix released ? [16:28] nothing [16:28] apparently the issues with openshot and kdenlive stem from mlt [16:28] nope [16:28] ikonia: thats what i thought, too. may there be anything whith the ownership of www? i chown it to the systemuser to use it more comfortable while working on homepages. i hoped to find it in crypted private data or sth...but it isnt [16:28] then there is no fix yet [16:28] persiluhu: it really shouldn't matter [16:28] ikonia: k [16:29] persiluhu: it should not be deleting anything, let alone the whole partition and un-installing applications [16:29] persiluhu: what method did you use to upgrade ? [16:29] does anyone have the latest version of kdenlive and mlt working? [16:29] any responses would be a gift :P [16:29] I have [16:29] ikonia: i used a usb-stick and choosed update in the installermenu [16:29] AndyUbuntu: i have [16:30] I'm not familier with how the usb routine would go, but I can only assume a bug [16:30] ikonia: i understand.. im not looking for a fix [16:30] im wondering what the hell inotfiy is doing [16:30] which version of mlt are you using? xsl [16:30] why is there a limit at all [16:30] mdel: inotify is tracking the file for changes? [16:31] ikonia: upgrade, sry [16:31] jpds: not sure what it does [16:31] persiluhu: I know what you meant [16:31] jpds: im trying to tail -f some log files [16:31] AndyUbuntu: 0.7.7+git20120115 [16:31] ikonia: ^^ i dont want to look more stupid right now ;) [16:31] and it tells me "out of space"... found a bug report saying the error is not correct, and that the issue is that inotfiy limit is reached [16:31] mdel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify [16:32] persiluhu: nothing stupid about what you are saying [16:32] anyone knows a nautilus frontend to format USB drives (fat32) [16:32] jpds: yes, I know [16:32] xsl, did you install through the repo? [16:32] again, im wondering why there is a limit [16:32] ikonia: except for not backuping important data on upgrade [16:32] no worries, ill figure it out [16:32] persiluhu: that's an error a lot of people make [16:33] mdel: To make sure that not too many resources are being used and stopping everything from going out of control? [16:33] jpds: i guess, but having a fixed limit per session is strange [16:34] xsl i have the exact same version and its not rendering anything with kdenlive. [16:35] with mlt not working it actually effects both openshot and kdenlive [16:35] guys, i am building a software raid array with 30 disks…. what would be an appropriate method for determining which disks is which once it fails… i know /etc/mdstat will tell me /dev/sdy or what have you… but how do i know which one is /dev/sdy.. can i statically set udev to auto mount a particular drive as a particular device…. thank you. [16:37] whistler_, that sounds a bit crazy [16:37] how do? [16:37] so [16:37] AndyUbuntu: but you can open it properly? only the rendering has problems? [16:37] ikonia: thx for your time, so far. do you have any further ideas, or shall this remain a mystery? [16:37] AndyUbuntu: i installed the PPA [16:38] persiluhu: you'll need to go through the logs/upgrade logs, there is no way this should happen. I'd also suggest (if possible) re-install and re-try the same upgrade to see if this is reproducable [16:38] 30 disk software raid. how do you even attach 30 disks? [16:39] xsl, i installed via the ppa also, its just when rendering. I can choose to render in any way and it crashes instantly [16:39] ikonia: ok ill give it another try. [16:39] one of these: http://blog.backblaze.com/category/storage-pod/ [16:39] AndyUbuntu: i dont render in a few weeks... let me check it [16:40] xsl, ok thanks. I rendered a few files before christmas and it was fine [16:40] first time rendering again recently [16:41] anyone know how to find the total filesize of all *.jpg files in the current directory (not recursively) [16:42] du -h ./*.jpg [16:42] then add em up using cut [16:42] script it [16:42] no need [16:43] there is a --total option [16:43] jiggy [16:43] so du -h ./*.jpg --total ? [16:44] `du -c *.jpg` : -bash: /usr/bin/du: Argument list too long [16:44] whistler_: that works. [16:44] zivester: uhm, that will happen if you have very many files... [16:44] hey all === arand_ is now known as arand [16:45] weird characters have appeared in my folder [16:45] and i can't delete them === butti is now known as list [16:45] not sure if they are files or subfolders === list is now known as llsam [16:46] LjL: Thank you very much for your help, have a nice day! === benoit_ is now known as ben2morrow [16:48] Hi how can i block connections from my vpn to port 5900 [16:48] there is a keyboard shortcut to switch between a active aplication to the launcher ? [16:49] chicognu, what do you mean exactly? [16:49] Alt+Tab doesn't work? [16:49] * llsam looking for the supporter who i talk 2hours bevor. Forgot his nick. [16:49] by "laucher" I mean the sidebar in the left side with the aplication shortcut gamerpro2000 [16:50] surely this should of been tested before releasing [16:50] Right.....why exactly do you need to switch to it? Its always persistent on the side, so its not going anywhere [16:50] i thought everything was working will prior to any updates s [16:50] gamerpro2000: uh, is it? i thought it disappeared when you maximized windows or moved them towards it [16:51] gamerpro2000, when the active aplication are maximized it disapear [16:51] Hmmmm.....I thought if you hovered on the farthest left point of the screen with maximized applications, it would reappear...... [16:51] llsam: hi [16:52] I usually use the Ubuntu Classic Gnome environment, though, so..........not an expert. However, you can use the "Show Desktop" widget to hide all maximized windows and get back to the desktop [16:53] I'm doing some debugging of the bootcd-i386/bootcd-mkinitramfs packages.. can udev and filesystems like /dev/pts and /dev/shm stop functioning properly due to doing mount --move, while it's still running? [16:53] gamerpro2000, my deskto is a little bit slow, brb [16:53] Chicognu, ok. === Rez is now known as LoRez [16:55] AndyUbuntu, while I wait for him to return, what issue where you having? [16:55] *were [16:55] Also, I'm surprised its so quiet in here. There is practically nobody talking. [16:56] it seems everytime i go to render a video the renderer crashes [16:56] exit [16:56] exit [16:56] lol wrong window [16:56] gamerpro2000, I'm newbie to unit, almost never use it before... Where is the "show the desktop widget" ? [16:56] this is everytime when using kdenlive === mac is now known as maxxx [16:57] chicognu, I think you can add menu bar widgets in Unity and one of them is a show desktop button. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but try right clicking on the menu at the top and see if you get an add widget option [16:57] just installed latest lubuntu is there any way to update drivers for usb devices usb 2.0 hard drive caddy not showing up [16:57] Again, I'm not much of an Ubuntu Unity person. Personally hate the thing [16:57] /msg dragonslay hello, [16:57] rabc, you shouldn't need drivers for a generic USB hard drive caddy. Does it show up as connected when you run demsg? [16:58] gamerpro2000 it seems it is an issue with mlt though dont know what it could be [16:58] AndyUbuntu, mtl? [16:58] thx gamepro2000 what is demsg thx [16:58] *mlt [16:58] gamerpro2000 mlt [16:58] yeah [16:59] rabc, dmesg is a terminal command. It shows the message buffer for the kernel, and since the kernel controls hardware-to-software interaction, it'll tell you if a new device has been connected when it finishes outputting all the other stuff going on. [17:00] k ill try that gamepro2000 thx [17:00] So if you open terminal and run it, it'll give you a bunch of data on kernel information and the ending should have something about "USB High Speed Device" or whatever connected when you plug in the hard drive. That is, if its even working/showing up [17:00] k thx ill try that [17:01] No problem. Its a good generic hardware diagnostic command to learn how to use if you're going to mess with linux [17:01] is it possible to send a ubuntu system a command from remote, without logging into the system? just to send a simple command? [17:02] rabc: Make sure the simple stuff is checked before messing with that, though. Power, Another USB port, etc. [17:02] NeverHere, easiest way to run remote commands is through SSH === milind is now known as abyss42 [17:02] yes gamer1990 but i don't want to have to ssh onto my server everytime my bot dies just to start it again [17:03] NeverHere, what kind of bot? Would a cron job that restarts it be out of the question? [17:03] hmm === Mud is now known as Guest17647 [17:03] its an eggdrop bot [17:03] hello [17:04] is it possible to prohibit apt-get (or do-release-upgrade) from restarting services? [17:04] NeverHere: Hmmm.......Never used Eggdrop's IRC bot before. For now, I suppose you could probably run a service eggdrop restart or whatever the service is called on an hourly cron. [17:04] what is a cron? [17:04] i have never heard of this before [17:04] !cron | NeverHere [17:05] NeverHere: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [17:05] yea thx gamepro2000 it show the usb usb 1-3: new high speed USB device number 10 using ehci_hcd [17:05] [ 2248.739851] scsi8 : usb-storage 1-3:1.0 [17:05] gamer1990, i'll give it a shot [17:05] and "sb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 10" when swithed off [17:05] NeverHere, Cron is the automated scheduler that runs things on certain periods of time, generally hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. There is folders under /etc/ that have cron.daily, cron.weekly, and so on that you can but bash scripts in that will run then on the cycle they are configured. [17:06] So just make an executable script, put it in there, and it'll run [17:06] hi, i put the 'nomoseset' option. I had to : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1864957 . Does it means that i will never be able to hibernate or put it in sleep mode ? [17:06] *nomodeset [17:07] nW44b, I think you can still sleep and hibernate. Disabling ACPI will break that, but not a nomodeset argument.....I think. Don't quote me on that. [17:08] gamerpro2000: well, i tried both, and it just does not work. [17:08] Hi! I cannot get middle mouse button emulation working under 11.10. this is my xorg.conf https://gist.github.com/1641203 I've also tried activating it in "gpointing-device-settings" Any ideas what else I could try? [17:08] hi all [17:09] nW44b, have you tried messing with your BIOS settings for S1 and S3 power controls? Sometimes sleeping is disabled in your BIOS and that breaks Ubuntu's ability to sleep. [17:09] is it possible to add a custom launcher to the 11.10 sidebar? [17:09] mang0: Custom Launcher? Clarify please. [17:09] gamerpro2000: S1 and S3 ? [17:10] gamer1990: I have a binary that I want to link to in the sidebar, so I can open it without browsing the the directory etc. Could I just drag and drop the binary into the sidebar to add a launcher to it? [17:10] mW44b: S0-5 are different operating modes. S0 is on, S1 is light sleep, and the further you go, the deeper the sleep. [17:11] mang0, you should be able to. As I was telling another person earlier, me and Unity are not friends, but I'm pretty sure any shortcut will drop in the Ubity launcher. [17:11] *Unity [17:11] My wireless connection isn't taking its ip6 address (or adopting a local-link one). tcpdump shows that radvd packets are coming in. [17:12] hi [17:12] gamer1990: Me and Unity are not friends either, but I hate xfce and kde even more, and gnome-shell seems to be uber slow, practically unusable... :( [17:12] how i cam flood [17:12] guyes [17:12] ??

I've heard of more people complaining about Unity being slow than anything. [17:12] mang0: You've tried Ubuntu Classic?

[17:13] ok [17:14] Hi there. I issued pkill -P 23415, which was probably stupid. Most stuff dissapeared, and nothing worked. I hard rebooted. If I start ubuntu normally, it never loads any of the 5 dots. If I start it in recovery mode, the screen stays black. What do? T_T [17:14] gamerpro2000: Ugh, this is so confusing, gamerpro and gamer - sorry gamer1990, I'll watch out next time :P [17:14] hi, which display manager does xubuntu 11.10 use by default? is it lightdm? [17:14] xubuntu uses xfce i thought. someone correct me? [17:14] hence the "x" [17:15] gamerpro2000: Seems that the sidebar won't take my binary. To google, and beyond! [17:15] mang0: I was wondering why you kept getting my name wrong, but whatever. haha. [17:15] kristjan: yes, lightdm [17:15] Mang0, personally, if I was you, I've just revert to class Gnome......but your choice :P . [17:15] ts2, ok thanks [17:15] adom: xfce is a desktop interface, lightdm is the login manager [17:16] adom: you're correct [17:16] Budd: What wireless problems are you having?

[17:18] I'm trying to setup an NFS server, all the files i'm trying to share are nobody:nogroup and when i mount them on the client machines I'd like to be able to read/write to them without making them owned by any one particular user... is this possibel? [17:18] bom tarde [17:18] QUESTION: My current user Todd would like to launch a GTK (x) application as another user, ringzer0. I am trying: xhost +ringzer0 && su ringzer0 -c "google-chrome" but to no avail. This can not be this difficult of a thing to do. Its so ez with Windowz, right click, run-as. [17:18] Lantizia: Just change the permissions to 777 and make the owner everyone:everyone [17:18] Lantizia it is, how far did you get? [17:18] Keep in mind, this means ANYONE can edit them, so be careful who can access it [17:19] Generally, its a terrible security practice to do it that way.....but its possible. [17:19] How can I troubleshoot ubuntu not booting? [17:19] Ivoz: Please elaborate more. "Not booting" describes about 100 million things [17:19] Lantizia basically, chmod 666 or 777 gives all rights to all [17:20] Lantizia: What MonkeyDust said [17:20] Ivoz: when you see the purple screen with dots, hit alt-tab or esc to see the bootup sequence, it'll help people here know what the problem is [17:20] MonkeyDust, I'd prefer not to do that... as when apps/games and generally people make/edit files on it - not always do you get those permissions [17:21] gamerpro2000: normal boot - none of the 5 rings ever glow. recovery boot - after 2 lines, one about something deprecated, the screen stays black [17:21] Lantizia then who must be able to r/w ? [17:21] I have the Xubuntu 10.04 in my Notebook. And I want know the way to upgrade my Kernel for 3.0 of more. I try this, through download on the Kernel.or, and then, I extract the bz2 file, but the ssytem continues with 2.6 kernel. Anyone know the best way to do this? [17:21] Ivoz: Do what Nach0z said. [17:21] MonkeyDust, anyone [17:21] Lantizia then what's wrong with chmod 777 ? [17:22] MonkeyDust, I just said [17:22] thiago_: Its best to upgrade to 11.10 if you want the 3.0 kernel. 10.04 was built for 2.6. You can upgrade it, but you have to compile it for it to work correctly. [17:22] Lantizia yes, and it's contradictory [17:22] alright, thanks Nach0z, gamerpro2000 [17:22] Ivoz: No problem. Stop back in when you have more [17:22] Well....nevermind....you're gone already. haha. [17:22] hello. I just accidentally executed rm -rf /usr/share on a slowish machine. It only ran < 5 seconds so I don't think many packages were hurt. How can I run aptitude in such a way that this will be fixed? [17:23] sjuxax: Where you running it as root? [17:23] or sudo? [17:23] yes [17:23] very good. gamerpro2000 [17:23] thanx man [17:23] thiago_: No problem [17:24] gamerpro2000: clearly, otherwise nothing would have happened -- i was trying delete a subdirectory. I think barely any damage was done so I don't want to hassle with a reinstall [17:24] I just want a sanity check form aptitude and reinstall the missing pieces [17:24] the NFTS partition's cant be read now [17:24] Hi! I cannot get middle mouse button emulation working under 11.10. this is my xorg.conf https://gist.github.com/1641203 I've also tried activating it in "gpointing-device-settings" Any ideas what else I could try? [17:24] but the 3.0 kernell allow me to read this file system [17:24] sjuxax: You can't. [17:25] and I need this facility [17:25] sjuxax: Right, but I didn't know how much of a power user you are. Some people join these chats with less knowledge than how to plug in the power cable. [17:25] jutnux: There is no function within aptitude to check for missing files from packages? [17:25] Wasn't trying to sounds stupid. Just wanted to see if you needed to do anything at all or if nothing really happened. [17:25] understand? but ok, I need now upgrade the Xubuntu version [17:25] I just have to reinstall this whole thing? [17:25] RingZer0: this behaviour is part of the security of the Linux desktop. The display itself is access controlled too. you need to do an xhost + (for anyone) or xhost +localhost (to allow local connections). The thing after the "+" is the computer name, not the user [17:25] sjuxax: well yo do not deletet 'packages' , you deleted files [17:25] sjuxax: You deleted parts of files. [17:26] sjuxax: repair broken packages using synaptic [17:26] sjuxax: Let this be a lesson to you not to force changes unless absolutely sure what happened. [17:26] woooo, awesome. Still cant find a decent fix for the kdenlive issues :) [17:26] jutnux: I deleted whole files -- the only partially deleted files would have the pieces that were being processed at the time I ctrl+c'd [17:26] DragonSlay: Thanks, I'll give it a try [17:26] sjuxax: also try reconfiguring packages. [17:26] wooooo, yeah :) [17:26] (11:25:00) thiago_: but the 3.0 kernell allow me to read this file system - do you have ntfs-3g installed¿ [17:27] gamerpro2000: In case you're interested, I found it. http://askubuntu.com/questions/80013/how-to-pin-eclipse-to-the-unity-launcher All sorted! [17:27] sjuxax: Its possible you could piece it back together if you have a proper backup, but trying to repair it is going to take more time than a reinstall.....I know from personal experience when removing a user who's home directory I forgot I had assigned to my storage drive and told it to delete the users home dir upon deletion X-( [17:27] mang0: Thanks. Will hang onto that in my bookmarks for future reference and take a peek [17:28] RingZer0: then, when executing the program, it might still need to have its DISPLAY environment variable set, so the program knows where the output is supposed to go: su ringzer0 -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 google-chrome" [17:28] yes xangua [17:28] mbeierl: did you read my full thing? I did that. [17:28] ops...one moment [17:28] yeah, it looks like I am just going to have to reinstall. That is pretty lame. Oh well. [17:28] gamerpro2000: You make a .desktop file with the infomation needed, which you can then put into your sidebar. [17:28] sjuxax: What's the problem? [17:28] mang0 [17:28] Xangua, this is a program for Xubuntu to read the NFTS partitions? [17:29] mang0: He accidentally ran an rm command as root and nuked part of his drive. [17:29] Uh oh [17:29] RingZer0: I only see your one post. What else did you say in your "full thing"? [17:29] !info ntfs-3g | thiago_ [17:29] thiago_: ntfs-3g (source: ntfs-3g): read/write NTFS driver for FUSE. In component main, is standard. Version 1:2011.4.12AR.4-2ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 570 kB, installed size 1580 kB [17:29] gamerpro2000 root is never a good idea [17:29] gamerpro2000: I'm too scared to ever use rm. I just open a root nautilus if I need to delete protected files! [17:29] I wish I could drag and drop youtube vids from browser to my Desktop [17:29] mang0: It's not as bad as that -- the process barely occurred, this machine is a VM on a portable disk so drive activity is quite slow [17:29] dies_irae days of sorrow [17:30] it ran < 5 secs [17:30] has anyone had any issues with kdenlive on ubuntu 11.10 recently? [17:30] anyone at all? [17:30] RingZer0: unless you're telling me that "ringzer0" is also the name of the computer and it is set to 127.0.0.1 or so in /etc/hosts [17:30] so, since only a handful of packages were affected, I was hoping there was a way to make aptitude check for missing files and fix [17:30] sjuxax: 5 seconds in computer time is about 5 million calculations and operations :P . Haha. [17:30] sjuxax: It'll still delete <10kb files pretty quickly. [17:30] sjuxax: I see. So you didn't rm -rf / or something :P [17:30] mang0: I rm -rf /usr/share ;) [17:30] MonkeyDust: True, but root is necessary at times. [17:30] dies_irae: there are plenty programs that do that [17:30] Hence why it exists. I just make damned sure I'm certain what I'm doing before I do it [17:31] sjuxax: O.o [17:31] ok, but the reading procedure is for terminal (text only) or you can see the files on the desktop in the Thunar? [17:32] Can I run the installer in "unattended" mode? [17:32] sjuxax: For future reference, in case you oops again, I would make a backup of "/" on a seperate drive either using a cron script or to a server using something like the BackupPC package. [17:32] I go to he apt-get to download and install this program. [17:33] BRB guys [17:33] hey [17:33] guys [17:33] Other and finally question?

[17:35] sjuxax: I have had reasonably good experience recovering a system in a similar state by just running the installer over top of the existing install. It picked up most everything, "repaired" the missing core files, and all I had to to after was re-install applications that I added after the initial install. [17:35] I'm doing some debugging of the bootcd-i386/bootcd-mkinitramfs packages.. can udev and filesystems like /dev/pts and /dev/shm stop functioning properly due to doing mount --move, while it's still running?

If you're calling the program from a different path then you'll need to provide the absolute paths to your scripts. The main script thinks that it is in /usr/bin.

[18:12] zykotick9: neither firefox.com and the ppa are supported D: [18:12] hello. on ubuntu 10.04, when i try apt-get install firefox, it sais that it is already the newest version, but my version is 3.6. how can iupdate it? << your repo is outdate bra [18:12] gamerpro2000, I thought it was but wasn't sure on the SERVER [18:12] How can I install gcc from my liveUSB? I need gcc to build my NIC drivers so that I can go online.. [18:13] ilovemesomeubuntu: Yeah, its disabled until you give it a password on the server distro. The first user you create is automatically capable of running sudo commands. [18:13] xangua: true PPAs are unsupported (wink, wink) [18:13] dorbin [18:13] what do you actually mean? [18:13] xubuntu, yes [18:13] zykotick9: but i read somewhere ubuntu will be providing firefox update for previous releases [18:13] ilovemesomeubuntu: So technically speaking, you shouldn't need to enable root to run root-like commands ;) [18:13] xubuntu, I need to apt-get gcc [18:13] xangua: that policy started after 10.04 though... not sure it applies to previous versions [18:14] I've just updated the family laptop to 11.10 and the wireless has stopped working. On the keyboard when it's on the light goes white whilst when it's off it says orange. I've pressed it to come on but it just stays orange. It's a Compaq Cq56 with broadcom wireless [18:14] gamerpro2000, That isnt how it is on Rackspace. It enables root and then you have to create a user. My question is should I visudo and allow this new user to have sudo and then disable root [18:14] xubuntu, ..but I don't have internet.. [18:14] I've tried reinstalling the driver but to no avail [18:14] xubuntu, I need gcc to compile drivers for my NIC [18:14] can happen mang0^^ [18:14] how is the initial PATH variable set in a linux bash shell? .. I looked at /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc and neither seem to explicitly set the PATH variable [18:15] ilovemesomeubuntu: Personally, if you disabled SSH access to root, whatever. You're good. As long as you don't have any other terminal access to it (like telnet), then disabling the actual root user isn't really necessary. Good security precaution, but not necessary. [18:15] xubuntu, I have found the debs on my liveUSB stick - how do I install them manually? [18:15] please explain more [18:15] lol [18:15] dorbin: installing the build-essential package might be a good idea, if you plan on compiling (it should install gcc BTW) [18:15] english isnt my native language bra [18:15] you can edit the squashfs [18:15] xd [18:15] :p [18:15] xubuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:15] oh i am very sorry floodbot1 [18:16] dorbin: To install a .deb package, do a deb -i [packagename.deb] and it'll install [18:16] zykotick9, but I need gcc to compile the network drivers so I can go online [18:16] xubuntu: i hope you mean to say bro rather than bra [18:16] as long as you have the dependencies resolved. [18:16] gamerpro2000: dpkg -i .. [18:16] OK [18:16] i like the word bra, so i say bra instead of bro [18:16] gamerpro2000, I'm gonna either do tarpitting or use certificate logins + password [18:16] gamerpro2000: it appears lightdm isn't starting... do you know any logs i can check? [18:16] ^Correction: What zykotick9 said [18:17] Ivoz: Huh? I never asked a question. [18:18] You asked me to follow Nach0z' advice [18:18] zykotick9: Not sure how, but for some reason ever since I started using debian, I always think that deb -i is the command, until I try it and rage at myself. [18:18] xD [18:18] Ivoz: Remind me again what that was....I've answered about 6 questions since you left. Haha. [18:18] gamerpro2000: ubuntu not booting [18:18] gamerpro2000: his ubuntu aint bootin [18:19] and I told him to alt-tab during boot [18:19] I have a question about vsftp [18:19] how can I find out which version of nvidia drivers I have installed from console? [18:19] Ivoz: OH right! lol. Now I remember. So, lightdm isn't starting on boot? [18:19] What does it give you for an error? [18:19] rhillis: go on.. [18:19] i can access the partition atm gamerpro2000 is there any logs i can check? [18:20] ron: 2 methods -- 1) dpkg -l | grep nvidia 2) assumes current: apt-cache policy nvidia-current [18:20] gamerpro2000: no, it just says [ fail ] during boot process [18:20] guys it says in the wireless menu that wireless is disabled by hardware switch. I've pushed the wirless button but it stays off. The button's little light is supposed to change colour when you push it to indicate it's on but since updating to 11.10 it doesn't [18:20] Hi! I cannot get middle mouse button emulation working under 11.10. this is my xorg.conf https://gist.github.com/1641203 I've also tried activating it in "gpointing-device-settings" Any ideas what else I could try? [18:20] I downloaded it using apt-get, but I'm beginning to think it doesn't come with OpenSSL support. Is this a fact? [18:20] zykotick9: thanks [18:20] Ivoz: I suppose a dmesg would be best to start with [18:20] and then pastebin me the results [18:20] what's that? [18:21] Run the command "dmesg" in terminal and it should spit a bunch of stuff back. You said you have terminal access right now. [18:21] Just no GUI, right? [18:21] I'm attempting to purge fglrx and install the native drivers but I'm running into this error: http://fpaste.org/tT87/ [18:21] i cant get to a terminal [18:22] it never finishes booting... [18:22] is there a way to get hardware configuration information in console as well? ram, cpu, board model? [18:22] ron: sudo lshw [18:23] To ask another way: will I need to install vsftp from source to include ssl support? [18:23] Pici: thank you as well :) [18:24] Ivoz: Then give me the syslog [18:24] Also, sorry. You didn't tag me, so I didn't see the message [18:24] wheres that [18:25] Ivoz: /var/log [18:25] gamerpro2000: http://pastie.org/3214796 is lightdm.log [18:26] rhillis: You'll need to make sure that your vsftpd.conf file has ssl_enable set to YES as well as any other options that may go along with that. [18:26] Ivoz: What about the X Server log? [18:26] I did set those. I'm asking because filezilla doesn't seem to be able to connect when I enable ssl.\ [18:26] gamerpro2000: syslog has 10000 lines [18:26] Ivoz: it's Xorg that is failing to start, perhaps it's logs would be more interesting [18:27] Ivoz: It looks like X Server is causing the crash. What's the logs from there say? [18:27] Yeah, my thoughts exactly. [18:27] is that Xorg.0.log ? [18:27] gamerpro2000: like in any other horror movie, the only caption is "all i remember is the phrase killall and the rest is a big blank" [18:27] Hi, does anyone know how-to increase the the right-click touchpad area in Ubuntu 11.10? [18:27] Ivoz: Should be Xorg.0.log, yeah [18:27] gener1c: True life :P [18:27] is pkill supposed to be as bad as killall [18:28] Ivoz: killall isn't bad! [18:28] pkill is the best thing ever [18:28] shun the none beliver [18:28] shunnnnnnn [18:28] shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnn [18:28] :) [18:28] Going to the candy mountain cave, Charlie :P [18:28] !ot [18:28] #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! [18:29] Awe, auronandace had to kill the fun ;) [18:29] JK [18:30] * gener1c not sure if directed at us or the guy asking about killall [18:30] gamerpro2000: zykotick9: http://pastie.org/3214816 [18:31] Hi I have been unable to access DistroWatch.com for the last 2 days. Is site down ? [18:31] geekster: no [18:31] no [18:31] Ivoz: Oh s***.....you're using an Nvidia card [18:31] lol [18:31] Ivoz: why do you have an xorg.conf? moving it might be a good idea "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nonworking" type thing [18:32] zykotick9: i dont have a linux env atm [18:32] hi [18:32] zykotick9: He's using the proprietary NVidia drivers and those automatically generate a static XOrg.conf [18:32] I'm currently installing the latest version of ubuntu on my thinkpad T41 and I am stuck at the "Keyboard layout" dialog [18:32] i can change the file [18:32] gamerpro2000: well not automatically (i don't thing), but after "sudo nvidia-xconfig" perhaps ;) [might have changed, be an ubuntu thing to auto do it] [18:33] Guys I've updated to 11.10 and the keyboard switch to turn the wireless on and off won't allow me to turn it on. I keep pressing it but it stays off? broadcom BCM4313 [18:33] would Screen "Screen0" work gamerpro2000? [18:33] there are two columns: in the left, I have selected "German" for the keybard layout - what is the right column for? [18:33] zykotick9: Who knows......all I know is that NVidia and Ubuntu have been a thorn in my side since the day I first started playing with the OS ;) [18:33] zykotick9: nvidia-settings [18:33] gamerpro2000: you haven't tried ATI have you ;) [18:34] zykotick9: Oh, I have ;) . Its.....uh......fun? [18:34] i dunno which is worse :S [18:34] Ivoz: nvida-settings is slightly different, the issue is that xorg.conf is corrupt somehow [18:34] Ivoz: You could try just moving the XOrg.conf to a Xorg.conf.bak file and reboot and see if it figures it out on its own ;) [18:34] and if not, well, no worse off [18:35] One of the ubuntu help pages says that the open source ati radeon driver should support my video card. however when I first installed my card ... ubuntu did not boot to the log in screen. only getting to the recovery screen allowed me to install the proprietary drivers. can anyone think of what i may be doing wrong? [18:35] zykotick9: Ati is fun because you either go with the open source drivers with have better displaying of pretty much anything and handle multi-seat better or you use the proprietary, which look like crappy, but the HDMI sound ACTUALLY works [18:35] How what editor would i use to open a .o file that was downloaded with unrealircd? [18:36] Wow, I fail at grammar today. [18:36] muwahah [18:36] Pseudoephedrine: an .o file is a compiled binary [18:36] not neccessarily executable, but not something you edit [18:36] Ivoz: specifically "Parse error on line 6 of section ServerLayout in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf " -reen0" is not a valid keyword in this section." can you edit the file? [18:37] zykotick9: Although, I heard that the open source ATI driver now has HDMI sound......I'll have to see it to believe it though. [18:37] zykotick9: yes [18:37] A while back I converted a video file to audio, it was via the command line, but I can't think what I googled to get to where I did... Any ideas? [18:37] gamerpro2000: "open source ATI driver" is technically incorrect, as it relies on proprietary firmware. Just saying it's not technically free/open. [18:37] zykotick9: i was think of changing to Screen "Screen0" [18:38] Ivoz: look for -reen0 should be Screen0 probably [18:38] Ivoz and zykotick9: I feel like the best solution is just to rename the file to a .bak and let Ubuntu regenerate it upon reboot. I don't see an actual -reen0 argument being passed by the XOrg.conf file in there.....unless I'm blind [18:38] Aikar: so its not a certain script is editable? what about a .so file? [18:38] zykotick9: the conf is in that same paste, btw [18:38] gamerpro2000: if the ati drivers are supposed to support my card ... but it doesnt boot ... any tricks to figuring out why it doesnt boot? [18:39] gamerpro2000: i agree! but Ivoz says that's not possible (using a LiveCD it probably would) [18:39] Pseudoephedrine: are you familiar with windows? a .so is linux equiv to a .dll essentially. its the "linked" version, so also a binary [18:39] says whats not possible zykotick9? [18:39] Ivoz: moving the xorg.conf file [18:39] Pseudoephedrine: you wont be editing .o or .so files, youll have to edit the source code and recompile [18:40] zykotick9: oh i can move it now [18:40] oldIT78: Do what Ivoz is doing now and interrupt the boot to see where its failing on boot-up [18:40] zykotick9: I'm pretty sure he said earlier he had access to the file system. [18:40] oh yay ill have a buddy [18:40] Ivoz: well move it to xorg.conf.bak - reboot and it should fall back to nouveau/vesa or whatever [18:40] gamerpro2000: that sounds like a headache and a half. [18:40] Ivoz: Do you have the ability to rename the file? [18:40] gamerpro2000: i found the check box that made it read only :) [18:40] oldIT78: Welcome to Linux sometimes ;) [18:41] Ivoz: that doesn't help [18:41] (unticked it) [18:41] Ivoz: The computer only reads it anyway, doesn't change it. Rename it from Xorg.conf to Xorg.conf.bak [18:41] or move it someplace else out of that folder [18:41] that you won't forget where you put it ;) [18:41] gamerpro2000: instead of doing a fresh install of 11.04, i did an update. Do you think if i did a fresh install it would have made a difference? [18:41] alright im gonnsa go do some rebooting [18:41] how do you get a broadcom BCM4313 wirless card working on 11.10 on a compaq laptop [18:42] !bcm| Kircle [18:42] Kircle: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:42] !broadcom | Kircle [18:42] Kircle: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [18:42] oldIT78: Its definitely possible. Upgrades are a PITA with ATi drivers. You could also try installing the Proprietary ATI drivers (latest version of course) from terminal and see if it improves your situation [18:42] thanks gamerpro2000 zykotick9 hopefully ill see you on the other side :) [18:43] Ivoz: L8er ;) . And good luck [18:43] Dang it man, I always send as soon as they leave :P . [18:43] lol [18:43] ciaoooooooooooo [18:43] !list [18:43] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [18:43] oldIT78: The installer for ATI video drivers is terminal based, so you can wget it and install it [18:44] gamerpro2000: I am running the proprietary drivers at the moment. They work find (i dont need the audio). The problem is I am trying to get xorg.conf to work with the proprietary drivers ... which I cant seem to do. [18:44] gamerpro2000: is there a difference from using the terminal vs just selecting it through the gui? [18:44] how can i get ubuntu ? [18:44] RF14: www.ubuntu.com [18:44] oldIT78: If you're using the proprietary drivers, you don't need to mess with XOrg.conf. It generates one for you when you run the installed for it [18:45] What exactly is wrong that you need to edit the XOrg.conf [18:46] Even when I put my ether cable in the laptop is still doesn't use it and access the Internet [18:46] zykotick9: gamerpro2000: great success! [18:46] gamerpro2000: I am using a lcd monitor that is upside down (dont ask why) I used to run nvidia with the xorg.conf line "RandRrotation" "inverted" which set my screen at inverted perfectly. also allowed all the games that ran in ubuntu to be inverted as well. [18:46] goeiedag eeem [18:46] Kircle: What is the network card model: [18:46] i guess this is how you learn to hate linux video drivers [18:46] Ivoz: Glad to hear it :) [18:47] Ivoz_: yep! [18:47] erik__ verkeerd kanaal, typ /j #ubuntu-nl [18:47] Ivoz: Be sure to thank zykotick9 for his co-assistance ;) . Haha. [18:47] gamerpro2000: if the proprietary drivers are creating a xorg.conf file ... it does not appear to be in /etc/X11/ [18:47] so are nvidia or ati any better than eachother for linux? [18:47] there are backups but they appear old. [18:47] gamerpro2000 How do I find that out? It's broadcom BCM4313 for the wireless card [18:48] thnx [18:48] Ivoz_: Video drivers on Linux are a mess regardless sometimes. Intel is the only one that really is stupid simple. [18:48] gamerpro2000: zykotick9: thanks for all the log finding expertise :) [18:48] Kircle: dmesg is the easiest......I sound like a broken record cuz I've said that 10 times today so far, but it is. Haha. [18:49] oldIt78: Did you actually run a text-based installer? Or did you just install Ubuntu and it was working? [18:49] Also, oldIT78, what model do you have? [18:49] oldIT78: you dont even have an xorg.conf? [18:50] Ivoz_: Generally, XOrg.conf isn't needed anymore [18:50] oh... [18:50] We only use it when something breaks or when stupid installer scripts from ATI or NVidia makes them ;) [18:50] gamerpro2000: I have an ATI gigabyte 5750 silent cell. When i installed it ... I thought it would just work. But it did not boot to the login screen. I ran recovery and installed the proprietary drivers through system>admistration>additional drivers> [18:50] Because NVidia and ATI haven't come into the 21st Century of using XServer ;) [18:51] oldIT78: One moment.....Lemme get you the latest from ATI [18:51] gamerpro2000: no it does not appear to have created a xorg.conf file. there are 5 backups. but they all have nvidia stuff in them. [18:51] gamerpro2000: I can download them myself from the site. [18:51] if you think its worth it. === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [18:51] oldIT78, I would give it a shot. The one in the repos is generally several versions behind [18:52] hi, im using hebrew within vim, and it shows backwards (though its written fine, i.e. when viewed through firefox) === matt_ is now known as Guest73629 [18:52] I'm doing some debugging of the bootcd-i386/bootcd-mkinitramfs packages.. can udev and filesystems like /dev/pts and /dev/shm stop functioning properly due to doing mount --move, while it's still running? [18:52] any ideas about this? [18:52] markKZ: backwards? How? [18:52] gamerpro2000 hebrew is written from right to left [18:52] gamerpro2000: I know the ubuntu will attempt to read an xorg.conf file even while using the proprietary drivers .... I just dont know how to build the right xorg.conf file with randrrotate. [18:53] yea, its RTL, but vim shows it from end to start [18:53] markKZ: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/rileft.html [18:53] oldIT78: The ATI installer will build one automatically for you and replace whatever is there already. [18:53] tonsofpcs its not what im after. [18:53] how do I remove all ppas? [18:53] i want to keep the left-to-write writing, i just need it to display hebrew RTL, not all of the text [18:53] MonkeyDust: Ah......So markKZ:, why is it being backwards bad? [18:54] gamer1990 imagine "hello" written as "olleh" [18:54] gamerpro2000: so you think that the older version of the ati prop files are not creating a xorg.conf file but the new one from the ati site will? thats on 11.04? correct? [18:54] vite: sudo ppa-purge ppaName [18:54] gamerpro2000 what's the command to specifically find the network card? [18:54] the next one is highlighting the wrong person -.- [18:54] hmm how do I list the ppas? lol [18:55] oldIT78: The one from the Prop Drivers is probably the semi-open source driver for ATI. As I was talking to zykotick9 earlier, there are two versions. One community developed and one built by ATI [18:55] gamer1990 :) . I'll change my nick if you change yours. Haha. [18:55] gamerpro2000: I see. so the one from the "additional drivers" gui window is the semi-proprietary one .... correct? [18:56] gamer1990 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34697189/Capture.PNG [18:56] oldIT78: Its the one the Ubuntu Community maintains, yes. As well as the linux community in general. The one from their site you have to download and manually run the installer script for. [18:56] oldIT78: "additional drivers" should be giving you the proprietary one actually. [18:56] markKZ: You're tagging the wrong person [18:56] [20:52] markKZ: backwards? How? [18:57] zykotick9: Since when did it start doing that? I thought it gave you the "radeon" package and the fglrx was the ATI made one? [18:58] Guys any ideas why my broadcom BCM4313 wireless has stopped working since updating to 11.10 [18:58] well, anyone with some smart idea? [18:58] Kircle: dmesg, man [18:58] hi all [18:59] gamerpro2000, the problem aren't our nicks, the problem ist they aren't able to hit the tab-button once more^^" [18:59] gamerpro2000: NOT installing drivers should give radeaon while "additional drivers" should give fglrx (i think, but i would never use ATI, so can't be sure) [18:59] how do I kill some stuck upstart services ? kill doesn't seem to take effect [18:59] gamerpro2000 so much text. cant find it [19:00] level09: which kill signal are you using? [19:00] what's the mysql installation directory in ubuntu? [19:00] umashanthi: I'm just using sudo kill pid1 pid2 .. [19:00] oops sorry, that wa for BarkingFish [19:01] gamerpro2000: from my research zykotick9 is correct. the radeon driver seems to be the opensource driver while the fglrx seems to be the driver installed when using additional drivers. [19:01] level09: what? [19:01] Kircle use grep to sort out [19:01] umashanthi: you could try using "dpkg -S mysql-server" to see perhaps [19:01] level09: you could try using a kill that will force it to quit, try sudo kill -11 followed by the process ID's you want to nail [19:02] i am using ubuntu 11.10 server. configured squid with transprant with dhcp. required to all sites even torrents except e-mail sites and some office site and govt sites. how to configure the squid [19:02] BarkingFish: is that the effect of "respawn" ? seems like upstart is trying to keep it alive [19:02] let me try that, thanks [19:02] gamer1990 I tried outputting to a file and searching using gedit for 'network' but only found was two entries for network manager [19:02] the radeon driver SHOULD support my card. but there is some error. the fglrx driver at least works. [19:03] How can I get upstart to output all boot messages to console? By default it doesn't seem to. === Mud is now known as Guest98708 [19:03] signal 11, level09 should be to make the process think it's had a segmentation fault - it should kill the process by lettinbg it b [19:03] BarkingFish: do you happen to know the difference between 11 and 9? I've never seen 11 used before, and "man kill" telling "SEGV 11 core" doesn't mean anything to me ;) [19:03] *believe it''s crashed [19:04] zykotick9: I want to find the bin directory of mysql installation. Didn't get it from your command [19:06] Either way I am currently using "fglrx" proprietary driver from "additional driver" does anyone know if ubuntu will create a xorg.conf? If so how? [19:06] umashanthi: bin directory? "whereis mysql" then? [19:06] zykotick9, "man 7 signal" will give you more detailed informations [19:06] glebihan: thanks [19:06] zykotick9, signal 11 is an internal that shouldn't be used with the kill command, which basically mean the program encountered a segmentation falut [19:07] zykotick9: none of the location "whereis mysql" have the bin dir [19:07] glebihan: i'd checked "man signal" but it wasn't helpful... [19:07] glebihan: i was surpised by someone suggesting -11 as i hadn't seen it before [19:07] zykotick9, yes without the "7" arg, "man signal" refers to the C function signal [19:08] glebihan: Well if I'm not supposed to use signal 11 with kill, that's the last time I listen to advice from people in here :) [19:08] zykotick9, you were right to be surprised, you shouldn't have to use it [19:08] hi! how can i make my Intel Core i7 sending HDMI Audio to my monitor? [19:08] Cause it was someone in here who told me I could use it [19:08] How can I get upstart to output all boot messages to console? By default it doesn't seem to. [19:08] glebihan: oh, I didn't [19:09] glebihan: it was suggested to someone else [19:09] zykotick9: I [19:09] BarkingFish, it won't make any damage, it's just not a signal that should be sent externally [19:09] glebihan: i gave the info to level09 [19:09] i am using ubuntu 11.10 server. configured squid with transprant with dhcp. required to all sites even torrents except e-mail sites and some office site and govt sites. how to configure the squid [19:10] zykotick9: I'm doing some installation and the step says "root directory of your mysql installation". It gives an example of "/usr/local/mysql/bin" [19:10] zykotick9: do you know if there is a command to get ubuntu to spit out a xorg.conf file? [19:11] hi [19:11] oldIT78: there is infact, "Xorg --configure" i belive (xorg can't be running, and it might need sudo?) [19:11] i was wondering what tool allows me to create a deb repository with multiple versions of the same package for the same architecture? [19:12] zykotick9: ... so i would have to leave X11 and go to a terminal only mode is that correct? [19:12] hello [19:12] i tried reprepro. it archives the old packages, but does not create entries in the Packages.gz [19:12] oldIT78: yes, and it will tell you where it places the temporary xorg.conf.SOMETHING that you can copy to the correct location [19:13] zykotick9: interesting. i very very rarely ever use ubuntu without gui. so hmm. thank you for the information. [19:14] oldIT78: sorry it's "X -configure" [19:15] zykotick9: and that will spit out a xorg.conf file ... probably to /ext/X11/ yeah? [19:16] oldIT78: not in /etc/... somewhere else, but it will output where it places the file [19:16] Hi! I installed in "ubuntu software center" a program called MrBayes. It uses a text file (.nxs) which in windows version must be placed in the folder where MrBayes files are. How can I do that in ubuntu? Where are my Mr.Bayes files and folders? Where can I place my text file so it can be used by the program? Thanks for any suggestion! [19:18] javier_faj: you could check "dpkg -S mrbayes" to see where it installed files to perhaps? [19:18] javier_faj: check for ~/.mrbayes , but i am really not sure because i never even heard of this program [19:18] zykotick9: and that works on 11.04 correct? [19:18] pangolin: i suggested that yesterday, as well as ~/.confg/ [19:19] oldIT78: it should [19:19] zykotick9: would gnome-search-tool work for javier? [19:19] pangolin: I already checked there with no luck [19:19] Wargasm: i don't know, never used gnome-search-tool before [19:19] zykotick9: any idea? [19:19] umashanthi: no sorry. good luck. [19:20] javier_faj: in terminal try typing gnome-search-tool [19:21] I'm quite new to ubuntu but I slowly am finding my way around [19:21] how to install ubuntu on vbox [19:21] zykotick9: thanks for your help! [19:22] oldIT78: glad to help. you get an xorg.conf now? [19:23] Is it just me, or is ubuntu one upload quite slow? How do I view the transfer/sync speed? Is the speed improved with the paid service? [19:24] zykotick9: no im off to shut down X11 ... I mean, I basically have to log off to do so, isnt there a option to log in with terminal only from the login screen? ... or that is the only easiest way to do so. [19:25] oldIT78: shutting down your DM would be easiest. you use GDM or LightDM? [19:25] zykotick9: gdm [19:25] oldIT78: "sudo service gdm stop" will log you off and stop xorg [19:26] zykotick9: then i have to log on through terminal which i will already be at. correct? is sudo serivce gdm start ... the correct start command? [19:26] the first two applications in the Application Menü are "Webbrowser" and "Email Client" but i cant remove with the menue edition. Whats wrong? [19:26] I am typing in Japanese but the characters displayed are incorrect. Is there another package I need to install to get the correct characters? [19:27] can i initiate a full web install from an 11.whatever disk? [19:27] oldIT78: correct, or reboot. don't forget to move the generated xorg.conf.SOMETHING file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:28] zykotick9: ill record where it drops the xorg.conf file. thanks again! [19:30] Hello, my laptop has 2 gpus, an a switch (stamina-speed) allows to use one or the other. how to handle this with ubuntu? [19:30] i followed http://digitizor.com/2010/02/03/how-to-install-an-offline-dictionary-in-ubuntu-2/ but dictionary does not seem to be a program anymore?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [19:32] trism: It's a problem I've had an every Ubuntu install to date. It works fine in Linux Mint, though. [19:33] hi there [19:33] Hello, i need help with the Menueditor (Xubuntu). I cant delete the first two entries. [19:34] trism: I found a solution http://pastebin.com/bMa2bhr1, although these fonts are absolutely terrible. [19:35] does anyone know if there is a way to initiate a full web install from a current disk? the disk is corrupt, but still boots... Thanks in advance! [19:35] *net install [19:36] anthrax2010: #xubuntu or http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3499-xubuntu-modifying-the-applications-menu [19:38] sorry if someone answered, i got dq'd. how do i use the dictionary (or install it if ineed to) that coincides with this tut http://digitizor.com/2010/02/03/how-to-install-an-offline-dictionary-in-ubuntu-2/ [19:38] i installed dictionaryreader.app but that just polls dict.org it seems === wannebad is now known as wannebadeichel [19:39] syddraf_: hadn't noticed that, but it is the same here, but I just remembered I forgot to install the ttf-ipafont since installing oneiric, and I get the other character with those fonts (which I generally prefer) [19:42] owenll: thanks, thats work. Great. But why i dont the some entries in the graphical menue editor? [19:42] "don't see" [19:43] does anyone know if there is a way to initiate a full web install from a current disk? the disk is corrupt, but still boots... Thanks in advance! [19:44] just installed Lubuntu and it is still randomly logs me out - closes all apps and go back to log in screen. any idea whats the problem? [19:44] does anyone know why a VM (11.10) on a hyper-v host wouldn't work with aliased eth0:0 etc. network interfaces using the hv-netvsc module? But when using the "legacy" network adaptor in hyper-v it does work (but then gets massive 5 second lag to everything) [19:45] is there a task manager like in ubuntu 11.10? [19:45] I have the same /etc/network/interfaces setup, it works on the legacy network adatpor, but not the normal one [19:45] ljsoftnet: for what? [19:45] i want to see the cpu graph usage [19:46] but the normal one doesn't give me the 5000ms pings [19:46] ljsoftnet system monitor [19:46] ljsoftnet: install Sceenlets. [19:46] ljsoftnet: top in terminal show some info (htop is cooler though) [19:46] MonkeyDust thank you [19:47] Backports entry in sources.list is just "deb http://apt:9999/ubuntu/ oneiric-backports", correct? [19:48] trism: It seems to be an Ubuntu problem I wish they'd fix. Those glyphs I ONLY see when it has this error. [19:48] hh: what you are descibing would probably require using debootstrap (more effort then it's worth i imagine), why not just use cd/usb to reinstall? [19:48] I keep getting this after adding backports: "E: Malformed line 12 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)" [19:48] sskalnik: uh that doesn't sound very correct unless you have a local mirror perhaps [19:48] LjL: yeah, local mirror in there [19:49] sskalnik: ah ok. well you still need to specify which repositories you want. my line is like deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse [19:49] LjL: Ahhhh okay [19:50] LjL: That was it; thanks! [19:52] zykotick9: ok so when i run sudo service gdm stop ... my system seems to crash .. it does not bring me to a command prompt. [19:52] What's the aptitude equivalent of "dist-upgrade"? Full? [19:52] sskalnik: full-upgrade, yes [19:52] Cool, thanks [19:52] oldIT781: tried hitting ctrl+alt+f1 after doing that? [19:53] oldIT781: are you sure you are using gdm? [19:54] zykotick9: yeah i am sure. I'm just using stock ubuntu 11.04. I am using ubuntu classic. not unity. [19:54] oldIT781: oh, but it does stop it right? so you are using gdm. [19:54] does anyone know if there is a way to initiate a full web install from a current disk? the disk is corrupt, but still boots... Thanks in advance! [19:54] oldIT781: can you get to ctrl+alt+f1 (or just alt+f1 perhaps)? [19:54] anyone here have an x-fi titanium hd? [19:54] zykotick9: yes it attempts to shut down. after I have done the shutdown of gnome or right now? [19:54] hh: if it still boots, there may be other issues, it's probably not a good idea to run an install from it :( [19:55] I just bought a WD Elements (3G) external USB2 HD. for some reason, I'm having trouble formatting it with partition manager. help??

Why not with other volume controls, and why does it drop to below 100% as soon as you use the volume control in the notification area?

It gave me a couple failures. so I dont really know what happen but it seemed to work. [20:03] Heloo.... [20:04] tried to setup my box to be static ip from router, and i could get online to browse, but it wouldnt let me access router page anymore, and couldnt connect to irc via torsocks [20:04] what am i missing? [20:04] oldIT781: nice! [20:05] Mindkontrol: do you have your gateway probably set? and subnet? [20:05] Hey guys, I've just tried to get rid of KDE-plasma, so I tried "apt-get autoremove plasma-desktop", but it didn't get rid of all the KDE applications that came with it, is there a way to do that? [20:05] so why does ubuntu give me an error when I run $sudo service gdm stop? but it works when i use that shortcut keyboard command? [20:05] h00k: I set address, netmask, and gateway [20:06] Mindkontrol: can you ping your router/gateway? [20:06] is there a way to increase the swap space on ubuntu server? [20:06] vite: swapon [20:06] vite: or you can make a swap file [20:07] h00k: http://pastebin.com/w94B7gh1 [20:07] ssta: for ram purposes [20:07] Hello, my laptop has 2 gpus, an a switch (stamina-speed) allows to use one or the other. how to handle this with ubuntu? [20:07] h00k: nah, dont think i could [20:08] vite: yeah... [20:08] i went back to my default settings to get on here [20:08] can I use a usb? [20:08] vite: sure. A\ny disk at all will work [20:09] vite: just be sure it's there. What happens if you unplug a drive while it's actring as swap may not be pleasant [20:09] Mindkontrol: do sudo mv /etc/network/interfacesstatic /etc/network/interfaces - you want your /etc/network/interfaces to say what /etc/network/interfacesstatic says [20:10] might be better just to increase the current swap size. [20:10] vite: if you have the space to, yes [20:10] zykotick9: can you take a look at this xorg.conf and see if its an error or actually looks somewhat right? http://paste.ubuntu.com/809999/ [20:10] yeah about 10 gigs worth lol [20:10] h00k: Yeah, that is what i had setup, but once it was set, i could not access router page, nor would it let me on irc, at least not through torsocks [20:10] other question, i need a program. how to know what package includes it? [20:11] for instance, i need "pngtopnm" [20:11] Mindkontrol: set it up that way and first try to ping the router/gateway [20:11] h00k: I just dont get why it would stop me from getting to router [20:11] Mindkontrol: be sure you can even talk to your router first [20:12] ok, be right back [20:12] HI i have a question, i used wubi.exe to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my PC and whern i restart no options pop up it just goes straight to windows xp and suggestions? [20:12] iceroot: I'm gonna reboot. will you look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/809992/ to see if there's something going wrong with the formatting? sorry it's in html. that's the way partition manager outputs [20:13] sorry to be a pain. I just need to know if i should send this drive back or not [20:13] thanks [20:13] HI i have a question, i used wubi.exe to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my PC and whern i restart no options pop up it just goes straight to windows xp and suggestions? [20:14] rondogplaya, did you really install, not just "try ubuntu"? [20:14] Irendil, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/netpbm.1.html [20:14] ya i installed it [20:15] OerHeks, thanks. is there a command to search for packages that have a certain file? [20:15] Irendil, sorry, wrong url > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/pngtopnm.1.html [20:15] On top of that my C drive is backwards with F lol [20:16] System files on F: and C: is secondary HDD Lol [20:16] if i want to edit a xorg.conf file to just do ONE thing "randrrotat" "inverted" what would be the least I could put on a xorg.conf file to do so? [20:16] Hey guys, I've just tried to get rid of KDE-plasma, so I tried "apt-get autoremove plasma-desktop", but it didn't get rid of all the KDE applications that came with it, is there a way to do that? [20:16] Irendil, ah like dpkg-deb -I pngtopnm [20:17] 'ello, is there a user here with a Nvidia Optimus laptop? [20:17] OerHeks, thanks for the help [20:17] thanks, is it ok just to keep posting my origonal question every halfd hour or so? [20:17] opps [20:17] does anyone know if there is a way to initiate a full web install from a current disk? the disk is corrupt, but still boots... Thanks in advance! [20:17] Irendil, u got any suggestions? [20:18] rondogplaya, try reinstalling grub? [20:18] don't know... [20:18] not sure if there is an easy way to do that with the ubuntu install cd [20:18] hh: Corrupt how? And do you mean "netinstall"? [20:18] hh: yep, you're doing fine :) [20:19] Irendil, whats grub? [20:19] hi ! Can someone help me find the driver for fujitsu esprimo mobile v6535 ? [20:19] sorry im new to ubuntu lol [20:19] hi [20:19] hh: umm, you could, but you'd have to bypass the standard installer, go advanced, and spend much of the time in the console between steps. Be MUCH easier to just use a CD [20:19] rondogplaya, it's the program that should let you choose between linux and windows at boot [20:19] !grub | rondogplaya [20:19] rondogplaya: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [20:20] rondogplaya: I would recommend not installing via wubi. [20:20] I've missed up my grub and I can't boot anymore, I'm now on live cd, how can I recover grub? (11.10 is my ubuntu) [20:20] h00k: so, now i am even more confused, changed my interface, and i still pulled .104 for my ip [20:20] installing via wubi means it's formatted in NTFS, ext4 is much better [20:20] coreGrl, somebody just answered before you asked the question [20:20] coreGrl: What did you do to mess up your grub and what happens when you try to boot? [20:21] Mindkontrol: so...are you still using nm-applet to handle your network? [20:21] Mindkontrol: are you in a desktop environment like gnome? [20:21] h00k: not sure, never heard of it [20:21] Irendil, Barbariandude, ubottu, Jordan_U, thank you guys ill look into it :) [20:21] I running newest version of ubuntu, but use terminal mostly [20:21] Mindkontrol: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html that may help [20:21] rondogplaya: You do *NOT* want to re-install grub. [20:22] coreGrl, I had a program to fix grub automatically, lemme find it again [20:22] h00k: thanks, ill read thru that [20:22] Jordan_U, why? [20:22] does randrrotation work with proprietary ATi drivers? [20:22] Is KDE Wallet secure and safe to use?? [20:23] Pseudoephedrine: for what? [20:23] rondogplaya: Because the way that grub is installed is different with Wubi that with a normal install. I would recommend "uninstalling" wubi and doing a normal dual boot installation. [20:23] coreGrl, open up a terminal and type in these commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update [20:23] sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair [20:23] h00k: be back [20:23] ssta: storing any passwords. [20:23] well I choosed for mistake the windows repair choice in grub.. the partitions are ok, I can mount them but I can't repair grub [20:23] Pseudoephedrine: it's secure and safe enough for mosty things [20:23] is there any wlan driver for fujitsu esprimo mobile v6535, i can not find it on the official page ?? [20:23] depends how paranoid you want to be [20:24] ssta: pretty paranoid ;p === RyuGuns is now known as SmiliesRockYou [20:24] Barbariandude: can put this boot repair utiliti in the official live? :) [20:25] yup [20:25] does someone know about my driver anything ? [20:25] Barbariandude: I'mean in 12.04 [20:25] coreGrl: Before you run boot repair, what happens when you try to boot currently? [20:25] 'cause not always you'll have internet connection [20:25] coreGrl, I don't know for a fact, but I'm fairly confident it should work in 12.04 [20:25] Normally i would Dual Boot but when i had my Win7 Disc i dlownloaded it wouldnt read it nor the Win XP lol and i changd the boot sequence to CD, HDD [20:25] Pseudoephedrine: it's as secure as you make your machine. If someone gets the file, they can break into it. on the other hand, it's much more secure than typing all your passwords into a text file. Nothing is 100% secure [20:26] h00k: what is loopback? [20:26] Barbariandude: it will be included by default? [20:26] h00k: my setup is using lo instead eth0 [20:26] coreGrl, What do you mean? [20:27] Jordan_U: as I said I choose wrongly the windows repair option (on a notebook) [20:27] Barbariandude: I mean that will be usefull to have this program directly in the official ubuntu iso [20:28] Mindkontrol: it's a lot to explain in here, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loopback does a decent job [20:28] coreGrl: That doesn't answer my question. My question is what happens when you try to boot currently? [20:28] How do I play video without X? I thought I could to mplayer video.avi -fb /dev/fb0, however /dev/fb0 does not exist on a deafult Ubuntu Server 11.10? What to do? [20:28] coreGrl, Ah. No idea why it isn't in there, but it isn't, you need to add the PPA and install it yourself. [20:28] ah sorry Jordan_U it says unknown file system and it presents a grub-repair (?) prompt [20:29] h00k: Well, im just confused, as i had setup my interfaces with eth0 but it didnt work. only when i used lo did it work. and this time, interfaces isnt doing anythying. still pulling dhcp ip from router [20:29] coreGrl, For more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [20:29] I'm running boot repair but it's 2 minuts that works on dpkg-configure -a sda [20:29] Ubuntu installer is really pissing me off right now. [20:29] sda6 [20:29] I've used YUMI Unetbooting and manually made my usb bootable. [20:30] Its trying to read from a NON EXSISTANT cd rom [20:30] coreGrl: grub rescue I assume you mean. That sounds like your Ubuntu partition has been deleted. Boot Repair can't help if that is the case. [20:30] Barbariandude, Normally i would Dual Boot but when i had my Win7 Disc i dlownloaded it wouldnt read it nor the Win XP lol and i changd the boot sequence to CD, HDD, still not loaded do u know? [20:30] I cant install ubuntu becuase it REFUSES to understand the lack of a cdrom. [20:30] I don't have one. nor do i have a cd / dvd! [20:30] Jordan_U: I don't think so.. I can mount it [20:31] rondogplaya, depends on your BIOS. Some need you to switch a setting to allow it to use non-HDD stuff. Do ubuntu/other linux OSes work via CD? [20:31] iToast: you shouldnt need a cd rom, i installed on my netbook with just a bootable usb [20:31] Mindkontrol, Thats my point [20:31] The installer is so broken it detects a cd rom thats not there. [20:31] its forcing me to mount it or it refuses to install [20:32] coreGrl: OK, then maybe it's simply that partition numbering has changed. Boot repair might fix this by re-running grub-install, but I am personally against such utilities that don't tell you what they're going to do. [20:32] iToast: YUMI isn't unetbootin, they're different things. [20:32] tdn: "mplayer -vo help" try "mplayer -vo fbdev foo" [20:32] h00k, Im not stupid. [20:32] I said I used BOTH [20:32] I tried YUMI [20:32] when you install from USB, as far as the installer is concerned, the usb drive is a CD [20:32] you doing seomthing wrong [20:32] iToast: relax. I'm trying to help. [20:32] ssta, Its not working [20:32] This is the 20'th time now [20:32] Jordan_U: grub-install from chroot? [20:32] i used unetbootin and it worked fine [20:32] Barbariandude, i havent burnt them to a disc in a while since b4 i had to redo windows yesterday [20:32] good morning all. I want to screen to revert to the layout defined in my .screenrc when I reconnect. how do I recoonect and have my window layout restored? [20:32] get a different image [20:32] hello all [20:33] First attempt ubuntu decided that it doesn't have rights to write to the mbr [20:33] my xserver eats my cpu [20:33] That was only for grub [20:33] I forgot what I used [20:33] iToast: did you verify your ISO is okay? [20:33] is there a fix to reduce the cpu usage of the xserveer? [20:33] iToast: I think you're just being confused by an error message. LiveUSBs mount to /cdrom/ even if the device that's being mounted there is not a CD. [20:33] h00k, yes [20:33] can I recovery mbr? [20:33] Jordan_U, I'l restart the installer and see if it works [20:33] rondogplaya, well, if both of the 2 you tried aren't working, it might even be the CD drive thats not working [20:34] h00k: do i need to be using lo or can i tell it just use eth0? [20:34] iToast: I'm not claiming that it will work, only that your assesment of the problem is likely incorrect. My guess is that the kernel isn't able to access your USB drive for some reason. [20:34] Barbariandude, the dvd drives work cause i burn win 7 to a disc and they load the driver disc i have for wifi usb card thing in windows OS . [20:35] can you boot into livecd mode? [20:35] coreGrl: Can you use the "Create Bootinfo summary" option and use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to post a link to it? [20:36] Mindkontrol: I'm pretty sure you want to use eth0, your ethernet card [20:36] Hmm, i changed the speed of my mouse the other day, and the speed did change, but, everytime i open up system settings the mouse speed chages back to default, but then if i close the system settings window it goes back to normal.. is this normal? doesn't seem right to me [20:37] normal = the way i set it [20:37] Pseudoephedrine: sounds like a bug would be great if you open a bug about that === clepto is now known as Guest55218 [20:37] Jordan_U, Tried mounting the cdrom.

So moving on. [20:50] Myrtti, he installed it [20:50] Why does Ubuntu not provide the sid DEB package »mediainfo« What is the reason?

Many will say "go with latest" ;) [20:52] Myrtti: Debian Sid provides a DEB program package »mediainfo«. Why does Ubuntu not provide this package too? [20:53] ..

[23:41] and me [23:41] pambos: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA [23:42] Butters, are you geting to the live desktop? [23:42] urlin2u: Please ban Tau. They are spamming me private to joing a channel called calculus. [23:42] pambos, I don't have that power [23:42] urlin2u: no I can't even get to that. WAIT its doing something! [23:42] urlin2u: stand by [23:43] urlin2u: It is stuck on the boot loading screen, after I chose to install... [23:44] urlin2u: It is doing something...THE INSTALL SCREEN [23:44] urlin2u: thanks anyways [23:44] Butters, could be a number of reasons here, have you checked the md5sum of the ISO? [23:44] Patience is a virtue? lol [23:44] Anyone have any good suggestions for configuring a high tps and high throughput web box? Before you answer, i am talking over 10k tps and over 10gig throughput. I have been playing with ubuntu server for the last day or so, running on a box with a bonded 20Gig (802.3ad), 96 gb of ram, 24 virtual cores, nginx compiled with threaded malloc from google performance tools, and with tons of tweaks to the network defaults. currently cant serve over 10gi [23:44] g, I start seeing fails around 8ktps, they are tolerable till around 10-11ktps, then they just go up with the load [23:45] urlin2u: That isn't the issue, I have tried multiple CD's [23:45] Butters, okay, good luck hope you get it working? [23:47] Wargasm: I know right? [23:48] actually at 19k tps on a 5kb file, the box just pukes all over itself and starts dropping connections left and right [23:48] Wargasm: I have been trying for a couple of weeks, and it just now decided to do something [23:50] how does ubuntu compare to xubuntu? is it mostly the same? [23:50] niksoft, have you tried #ubuntu-server [23:50] Guys I need to remove the RSA ssh-keygen -f "/home/pambos/.ssh/known_hosts" -R ip-adress [23:50] harris, different desktops [23:51] but it is not removing it... strange? [23:51] urlin2u, i have, its a bit dead around there, i tried twice today, nobody ever answers, infact you are the first [23:51] I spliced bt5 and ubuntu together and went to upgrade to 10.10 and the computer pooped out on me, and now I'm using the install disk to finish the upgrade :D [23:51] smart huh? [23:51] niksoft, cool it just seems rather complex at least to me lol. [23:51] Butters: not hugely, backtrack isn't supported here [23:52] Butters, bt of any kind is not supported here. [23:52] ActionParsnip: I know, but I am new to linux and doing this is pretty big for me. [23:52] Butters: whats bt? [23:52] Butters: so you just killed off a lot of support... [23:52] orlok: backtrack linux [23:52] so, ubuntu is basically same as xubuntu? [23:52] uorlok: bt is backtrack its a mod of ubuntu [23:52] In addition using ssh in order to connect with the server Permission denied, please try again. At work using putty for windows I connected without any problem this morning. [23:53] ahah. is that name taken from my "i backtraced your ip?" [23:53] its ubuntu but runs a lot of network security tools and such, people seem to think its smart to use it for daily tasks like web browse and check email [23:53] xubuntu is ubuntu with XFCE instead of (Gnome? Unity?) [23:53] uorlok: different kernel with pen testing tools, but it has a bunch of security holes in it that are fixed in the new ubuntu upgrade. bt5 support hasn't made anything yet so I did this [23:53] I think it will be better anyways [23:53] harris, pretty much the web is your best look really. [23:53] Darkfrost: by default yes, you can install xfce4 on ubuntu and choose which DE you want at boot [23:53] ActionParsnip: like i care? [23:53] ActionParsnip: Really sorry for the delay..., here is the output ( i have trouble with sound in 11.10 ) http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=be7380f3190c2f2887aca30bf3b77a6ecfb3bc45 [23:53] Butters: when you have issues, you will [23:54] Butters: "security holes".. what, as in services open by default? [23:54] ActionParsnip: then i just come back under a dif IP and a new nick and act like its ubuntu [23:54] jorge: which sound device do you want output from? [23:54] Butters: old packages? [23:54] Butters: we'll see ;) [23:54] urlin2u, lol i think that maybe devs are afraid a little, its far more extreme then anything i have seen done at this point, i just want to get this to 20g throughput and to go over say 30k tps, which would be convincing that linux is ready for prime time in the Service provider world... but no matter how hard i try, and i have fixed a lot of various issues, i just can't get it to work like i'd want it to [23:54] orlok: yes to both of those, and that it is logged in as root by default [23:55] does anyone know where the jvm reads the system settings from in ubuntu 10.10? especially the locale settings [23:55] well that and i need it to do that for a project i am testing... and i'd really rather not go to BSD and admit defeat... [23:55] Butters: heh, seems kinda silly to me, but.. meh [23:55] hi i'm trying to reinstall grub with a rescue dvd can't do it [23:56] orlok: yeah, but I like doing things that are difficult and ultimately meaningless [23:56] any partition i try on reboot it says failed to boot [23:56] resus: there is a how to on omgubuntu [23:56] resus, rescue cd? [23:56] Hey all, just installed kubuntu, but grub didn't get installed [23:56] urlin2u i'm booting with the ubuntu dvd selecting rescue [23:56] Tried the recovery steps from this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [23:56] Ansikt: you can boot to liveCD: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ [23:57] resus: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ [23:57] !grub | resus [23:57] resus: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [23:57] Wait....Ubuntu uses grub2? [23:57] Ansikt, you see the bots grub post? [23:57] Ansikt: since Karmic, yes [23:58] ActionParsnip: It's an ALC655 Realtek, at the first time it was working, but I belive that all screw up when I begin to add third party repositories. [23:58] OHHHHHHH!!! Well, that would explain why my commands aren't working ;~; Thanks, ActionParsnip and urlin2u, you're pretty cool guys and gals. [23:59] ActionParsnip: ALC665* [23:59] ActionParsnip: hello. do you know anything about which files affect the ubuntu system locales? [23:59] jorge: in sound settings, is the output device set correctly? [23:59] !locale [23:59] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
