[00:22] ActionPa1snip: I would have to agree with you on that. I'd like to be able to narrow this down to a Hardware/Software issue. I'm hoping to exaust the software side first.

[00:23] I do at the moment [00:23] gnate: Have you tried the displays settings? [00:24] I have tried booting it without the monitor (works with nomodeset) but I cannot even get it back by turning it off and then back on === max is now known as Guest35994 [00:24] #join moodle.dyc.edu -p 9111 [00:25] gnate: so you have or have not used the Displays setting? I'm confused.

[00:31] smbtree is WORKGROUP [00:31] \\PC [00:31] !root|Emery [00:31] Emery: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:32] androidbruce: so the shares show with smbtree? [00:32] androidbruce: smbtree is a command [00:33] \NOTICE Lirth the F4 did not work [00:33] ActionPa1snip, yeah i don't see the "shares" === tristan_ is now known as itched [00:33] ActionPa1snip, smbtree shows "WorkGroup \\PC" [00:33] androidbruce: then your config is whack [00:33] ActionPa1snip, do you have a working default config?

[00:39] so networking is fine [00:40] Fujk: if you run it as a new user, is it the same [00:40] evernoob: I believe its part of the disk setup step [00:41] here is my fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/7GBiiXDL [00:42] I'm simply amazed that I not only lose the option of booting 10.04, but sda5 (10.04) simply vanishes just by booting to 11.10 [00:42] the only way I get it back is by reinstalling, which includes formating [00:43] phun5tar: did you try running: sudo update-grub [00:43] phun5tar, couple of problems first you have grub in the windows boot partition /bootmgr /Boot/BCD /boot/grub/core.img second I see no boot files in the backtrack in sda5 we don't support backtrack here. [00:43] ActionPa1snip - I am at that stage, and it doesn't recognise existing LUKSd LVM partition, or offer option of encryption [00:43] Hi guys I currently have two servers sitting here, and don't have any idea how to get them setup. My previous network admin had installed an OS on there (I think it was either Ubuntu or Centos - this is how unfamiliar I am with it). These two servers will be used to host a website as well as to host VOIP services for the website (Asterisk-based). Redmine (a project management tool would also [00:43] be needed). I would also need this person to help me configure security on the servers, and since the servers are run from home, would need advice on how to setup my routers properly to set access rights (I will have both personal PCs and the servers using the same Comcast) [00:44] evernoob: i see, go for alternate then is all I can say. [00:44] I am placing a job ad and have no idea what keywords I should be looking for [00:44] would this be a "network admin" - i could use some advice on what keywords I should place in the skills requirements section [00:44] macroevolve: this channel is for ubuntu support only please [00:44] oh ok [00:44] !ot | macroevolve [00:44] macroevolve: #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! [00:45] sorry about that [00:45] hi === Nobul is now known as _B00 [00:45] darmok and jalad at tanagra [00:45] ActionPa1snip, smbtree doesn't show my shares [00:46] sudo update-grub does nothing different [00:46] just because backtrack is what I'm trying to boot to, what does that have to do with support? [00:46] I'm not asking a Backtrack question, I'm asking a GRUB question [00:46] which is supported, right? [00:46] darmok and jalad at tanagra! [00:47] do ya'll know where I can go to learn more about IRC??? [00:47] Guest36770: what do you want to know, the protocol isn't hugely comlplex [00:47] phun5tar, grub is not breaking the backtrack that makes no sense [00:47] why do you think I'm here? [00:48] because you have no friends [00:48] zing [00:48] ^^ [00:48] Why is it that when I have nautilus handle my desktop (as it is default) and I start 'Home' the nautilus windows dows not get focus? [00:48] phun5tar, grub boots the ubuntu that is as far as we can go to be honest get the grub out of the sda1 is the second area we can help in. [00:48] lol . . . around here I guess not [00:48] how'd you know jalad? [00:48] I'm new at this [00:49] I've tried installing GRUB to /dev/sda5 [00:49] Guest36770: you are using it well dude, you can join additional channels by running: /join #channame [00:49] but sda5 still gets deleted /only/ when I boot 11.10 [00:49] Is anyone aware what compositor manages the "minimize" animation of windows? I am using openbox and it's breaking xcompmgr's transparency. [00:49] if I knew why it gets deleted, I'd consider it a victory [00:49] thank mAN~! [00:50] cipher__: all the anims are managed the same. You can disable openboxes anims in config and it won't animate, it will just vanish :) [00:50] hi [00:51] maybe I'm asking the wrong question? What if I were to ask "why does Oneiric delete my 10.04?" [00:51] phun5tar, me to would help with that if had a quick instruction, but the grub in the sda1 windows partition is a problem for sure clean that out and se if you can get the backtrack setup in their channel if you can. [00:51] ActionPa1snip, Thanks. Any idea where the config is? [00:51] hello, why $PATH is lacking sbin places?¡? [00:51] I already tried installing it elsewhere [00:52] aand why the monitor goes out of range on boot??? [00:52] in fact, I'm surprised it's in sda1 since I told it to install to sda5 [00:52] phun5tar, you would be lying the script is obvious [00:52] hello? [00:52] oh, I'm sorry [00:52] did you type on this thing the past hour? [00:52] I know what I told grub to do [00:52] ActionPa1snip, what should smbtree show me [00:52] my question is, why is it doing something I didn't tell it to [00:53] ActionPa1snip, thanks :p [00:53] Take it easy guy's! [00:53] hey, why window borders do not change when i change theme? [00:53] phun5tar, maybe it's possessed. :D [00:53] lol [00:53] ummm [00:53] best conclusion I've seen [00:53] why nobody knows what i ask :( [00:54] cipher__: seems to be in ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml: yes [00:54] this isn't the first time I've done this configuration, either [00:54] cipher__: here [00:54] !patience|Xapumaq [00:54] Xapumaq: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:54] ActionPa1snip, oh wow thanks. [00:54] Xapumaq: because you don't change the window border theme¿¿ [00:54] I've got a few extHDD's for various applications. Just pop in the appropriate OS, and poweron [00:54] ActionPa1snip, much appreciated [00:54] only 11.10 is giving me problems [00:54] androidbruce: http://paste.ubuntu.com/812530/ [00:54] ActionPa1snip, Actually the file does not exist [00:55] cipher__: try: find ~/.config | grep xml [00:55] I found it * [00:55] ActionPa1snip, yeah all i see is my PC [00:55] no, it does not change, even if i use advaced settings app [00:55] cipher__: I use lubuntu so that is the file [00:55] hi all [00:56] BoyOfWuHan: nihao [00:56] ActionPa1snip, one other question. Do you have any idea where the startup script could be. It's nowhere to be found according to pages i have read. [00:56] phun5tar, I would put the backtrack on a thumb that is basically how its used I believe, and the ubuntu on the hd. [00:57] internal HD [00:57] ummm [00:57] cipher__: startup script in what way? [00:57] so what i can do!? [00:57] hi [00:57] I HATE THIS, CMON, HELP MEEEEEEEE [00:57] !patience|Xapumaq [00:57] hi [00:58] acerimmer xiexie [00:58] Xapumaq: try pressing ALT+F2 and run: unity --replace I assume you use unity.

[00:58] for no other reason, I want to learn how to solve this problem [00:58] BoyOfWuHan: sorry, that's all the chinese I can speak just now. What do you need help with. [00:58] regardless of how I'll organize my OS's after [00:58] ActionPa1snip: ok, no thanks, im using gnome not unity [00:59] Xapumaq: which shell / desktop / WM are you using? [00:59] ok fine, but im not running unity ActionPa1snip [00:59] phun5tar, I think you just made a mistake somewhere to be honest the OS only does what you tell it, it does not think . [00:59] LoRez: seems to be in python-debian accrding to: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/python-debian [00:59] right now im using gnome 3 default [00:59] acerimmer nothing I just come here to say hello [00:59] GNOME choice on DM [00:59] Xapumaq: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please [01:00] awww ok hold on [01:00] acerimmer do you know Wuhan city? [01:00] so, how would you explain the scenario? [01:00] ActionPa1snip: no, I mean with apt packages files downloads [01:00] BoyOfWuHan: nah, i'm in the usa. moving to beijing next month, though. [01:01] phun5tar, are you talking to me [01:01] acerimmer welcome to china....

[01:01] Hello. Can someone tell me why is the GT 540 can not sync with PC [01:02] What is the ubuntu-equivalent of the "ping" command in MS-windows? [01:02] ActionPa1snip, I thought there was a startup.sh in .config, to use applications like feh, wicd, and starting deamons [01:02] before the wm begings [01:02] phun5tar, this is not a simple request, and I have pointed out hat I see is wrong and the channel policies. We don't know what you have done. [01:02] begins* [01:02] what* [01:03] cipher__: you can put things in /etc/rc.local and they run before the login screen / prompt shows..

[01:03] so, a legit Windows/Ubuntu 10.04 install internally [01:03] a legit Ubuntu 11.10 extHDD install [01:03] RyuGuns: It is "ping".

It worked fine at one point, but for some reason I can't see any drawn portion of videos at all. I see a black box as the page loads, but then it dissappears later; I can hear sound though.

I keep getting dropped connections on a regular basis, havent been able to use this computer in 6 months under linux [02:03] fujk: I'm working on that exact problem right now. [02:03] Fujk: I have one! [02:04] fujk: the error I see is it takes 30-200 seconds for eth0 to come up after boot. once it's up, it's stable for me. but I only run 100Mbps [02:04] NelsonM: I tried the r8168 driver, didnt help [02:04] It works, mostly! [02:04] Fujk: did you? I'm just building it now ;-P. What'd you do, poobiebear? === kylebt is now known as kt [02:04] I'm running an AMD_64 system on Ubuntu's 3.0.0-15-generic kernel. [02:04] I run 2.6 [02:04] The card is in an ASUS M5a99XEVO board === noname is now known as Guest59061 [02:05] I updated my BIOS to the latest one available [02:05] and now the card only sometimes drops connections. :) [02:05] define sometimes? [02:05] It used to only be able to recieve packets! [02:05] poobiebear: same software, but it's an ASUS P8Z68 M Pro. Does your ethernet come up reliably after reboot? and are you gigabit or 100Mbps? [02:05] It does come up reliably [02:05] It should be 1gbps [02:05] I'll plug the thing in in a second to check [02:06] there is a lot of discussion about this problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11348803#post11348803 [02:06] mine says: Speed: 100Mb/s [02:06] also in every other linux distro format. a lot of people are having this problem, I think because of new ASUS boards. The real problem is in the linux kernel. [02:06] Fujk, Say, once every couple of days or so the damn card will start flapping the link. [02:06] yeah I read threads for 6 months [02:06] still no solution that WORKS [02:06] NelsonM, I really thing that the issue is with the firmware on the card [02:06] if you have a spare PCI slot, I can think of a $25 solution :-) [02:06] the Windows drivers are just fine [02:06] but [02:06] what would be the point of a gigabit lan when my internet connection is only 1Mb/s? [02:06] a BIOS update mostly fixed the issue for the NIC on this board in Linux. [02:07] so I have to update the bios too.. [02:07] but you still have unreliability, poobiebear? [02:07] maybe that will help (I bet not) [02:07] NelsonM, yeah. It's not 100% reliable. [02:07] I've updated my BIOS to latest. I did read one suggestion which was to get new firmware from somewhere [02:07] How can I get the number of discharge cycles my battery has had from ubuntu (terminal or gui)? [02:07] How do I check link speed again? I Can't remember how to see that with ip. [02:08] And dmesg isn't telling me anything useful.

I couldn't find one. Should there be? [02:10] Hallo? [02:10] i thought that update manager said that it was installing a new kernel, but after a restart the kernel version is still 3.0.0-12 generic (unchanged) -- is that to be expected? [02:10] why does the fixes work for everyone but me [02:11] Hnnh. Maybe I was running the hand-rolled 3.2 kernel. I have no success with that card now. [02:11] so I have gigabyte mother board, its their BIOS I need to get yeah? [02:11] Link speed is 10mbps, according to NetworkManager [02:11] and I can't get a DHCP lease. [02:11] :/ [02:11] the card works fine for me in 3.0.0-14-server, but only after 30-200 seconds when it comes up. [02:11] poobiebear: wait a bit, see if eth0 comes up later?

[02:16] heh :) [02:16] WoC: umm not understandin u -.- [02:16] poobiebear, what you need to do, is in device manager, choose the network card and in the options, enable wake on lan shutdown [02:16] jeremiah_, 8.10 is end of life. [02:16] Zuropazlefuf, i was making a joke [02:16] poobiebear, that should fix it regardless of the linux driver [02:16] Gentoo64, I read all about the "Do stuff in Windows and it magically works in Linux" thread, and that didn't help.

[02:19] it is actually windows afaik that messes with the 8168 [02:19] it shuts the card off on shutdown [02:19] WoC [02:19] WoC, Bringing the Realtek nic up and down twice made it work.

[02:19] NelsonM, well for some reason the 8168 driver hasnt ever been in the kernel [02:19] WoC.... [02:20] its been a long time since I played with wake on lan [02:20] WoC, anything you want me to try while I'm here?

[02:22] in th bios itself [02:22] lol, the first thing the build script for this ethernet driver does is remove the existing ethernet driver. guess who was logged in via ssh? [02:22] NelsonM, you idiot [02:22] lol [02:22] Gentoo64: I move the files to USB and reboot into bios? [02:22] NelsonM, LOL [02:23] Vooloo, there should be an option in bios to flash via usb [02:23] in most modern bioses anyway [02:23] ok [02:23] cara: lol, is not that, just why the heck lightdm is loading unity (ubuntu) instead of gnome when i choose gnome? [02:23] Vooloo, extract the bios file on the usb btw === UnknownFork_ is now known as UnknownFork [02:23] Zuropazlefuf, because Gnome uses Unity? [02:23] i dont think it reads zips or watever [02:23] Zuropazlefuf, how did you install gnome 3 [02:24] and why do i need to restart session to see window decoration change [02:24] (fortunately this machine is in the room with me and not in some remote datacenter.) [02:24] right from package manager/soft center, gnome package [02:24] a canadian [02:24] cara: no, unity and gnome 3 are different, unity on one side, and gnome-shell is gnome [02:25] Zuropazlefuf, ok Unity is a shell around gnome.. [02:25] yeah gnome-shell [02:25] cara: for the dm, ubuntu = unity shell, GNOME = gnome-shell [02:25] * cara must have either coffee or some drink [02:25] and what's mutter for? [02:25] WoC: so I followed the guide, and now my digital sound reciever says 'PCM 96' but I still have zero sound. what else do I need to do, for ALSA to pick up my x-fi card's sound? [02:25] it says q-flash, update bios from drive [02:26] Vooloo, yeah sounds like the one [02:26] mines an asus it has ez-flash [02:26] same thing [02:26] urlin2u: right from package manager/soft center, gnome package [02:26] in the startup application, how can i make a program run even if it needs a sudo user? [02:26] zulax: gksu [02:27] use that [02:27] Zuropazlefuf, I just ran sudo apt-get install gnome-shell I believe there is no gnome package per-sat I beleive.

To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. [02:28] Zuropazlefuf, which ubuntu release? [02:28] yes, this only happens when using lightdm [02:28] Zuropazlefuf, is the command like gksu /usr/sbin myprogram ? [02:28] this is a fresh install [02:28] Why can't I install anything on ubuntu 6.06? [02:28] really? [02:28] zulax: yes, it's gui prompt for sudo [02:28] wow [02:29] jeremiah_, um you probably want to update [02:29] jeremiah_, every release before 10.04 is eol [02:29] cara: why suprised?

[02:30] Zuropazlefuf, i am little confused, i want to run /usr/sbin/powertop during startup program, [02:31] but it needs password , so how can i pre-feed passwrod [02:31] im using gnome-shell but lightdm is the only DM which launches Ubuntu instead of GNOME [02:31] Why is linux so hard to learn and use? [02:31] zulax: umm nevermindthat [02:31] lol [02:31] zulax, not sure if ubuntu uses something like /etc/rc.local [02:31] jeremiah_, it is hmmmm. [02:31] zulax: Gentoo64: it does [02:31] use that [02:32] jeremiah_, maybe you're so used to windows? [02:32] well i built Realtek's r8168 drivers from source and they seem to be working great. It's an intermittent error though, so no way to be sure. [02:32] hello [02:32] ya [02:32] i need some help bycreating a stat script [02:32] thats why linux seems hard.. [02:32] start [02:32] in reality its not [02:32] helpplease: to do what? [02:32] why also, monitor goes out of range when i boot the system?? [02:32] jeremiah_, I started on open source so I didn't have any MS background or any really that probably helped [02:32] umm [02:33] Zuropazlefuf, every time? [02:33] Zuropazlefuf, (too many Z names!!!!) have you tried running: sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s gnome-shell [02:33] jeremiah_: compared with what? [02:33] lol} [02:33] windows [02:33] Gentoo64, whats the syntax like? sudo /usr/sbin/powertop -p ***** ? [02:33] It's definitely different. I started on DOS/Windows and it took time to get used to how to do things. I use Windows 7 and Linux both now and enjoy both. === UnknownFork__ is now known as UnknownFork [02:33] * cara is lazy and likes tab-complete [02:33] zulax, you dont need sudo [02:34] zulax, just the command [02:34] ubuntu start the service at startup an then it is in the programm and going not on, (i am german ;D) [02:34] cool [02:34] thanks [02:34] jeremiah_: people don't learn windows, only (mis)use it [02:34] I thought people only break windows [02:34] jeremiah_, how long you been working on linux and how often? [02:34] anyone else have a problem with the new kernel update? [02:34] Gentoo64: yes, out of range everytime, im not sure what's going on on the screen, only by doing arrowing i see later when display changes that it ran scandisks :P [02:35] about a month and until now, not often. [02:35] Zuropazlefuf, does turning the monitor on/off sort it out? [02:35] can someone please tail -n 1 /etc/lsb-release [02:35] i had a monitor that did that (old one) [02:35] "Have you tried turning off and on again" [02:35] Man I love I.T. Crowd [02:35] some know how to change that ubuntu going on starting [02:35] :) [02:35] jeremiah_, took me 6 months to not delete the wrong stuff and I had no computer experience, give it time. [02:36] ah, im trying to mak pulseaudio be system sound server instead of alsa as system and per-user pulseaudio. [02:36] Gentoo64: no lol [02:36] i'll try [02:36] Gentoo64: is monitor itself protection === greentux|ganteng is now known as greentux_ [02:36] hello, ever since I've been using 11.04 and now 11.10 my computer is really slow...

My laptop is not old at all and it's got 3GB of RAM, which should be enough [02:36] jeremiah_, main thing is dont give up when you find something hard and go back to windows, or youll never learn [02:36] it happens because bad resolution/not supported [02:36] Zuropazlefuf, did you update something?

[02:37] jeremiah_, i think your cpu might be too fast [02:37] overclocked? [02:37] hmm, it consistently takes 21 seconds for eth0 to come up after boot now. could that be normal? it seems wrong, and screws up ntp [02:37] Zuropazlefuf: yes, and always one of my CPUs is at 100% [02:37] Gentoo64: hmm nono, why u ask? is fresh install, and i didn't got the proper drivers yet [02:38] i need somthing like this in a script: screen -S xyz than xyz.sh and leef the screen, that on startup [02:38] gabe: does the disk have swap? [02:38] uh it is like ten years old. [02:38] jeremiah_, try dmesg [02:38] i got it for free [02:38] ??? [02:38] was joking [02:38] Zuropazlefuf: the other runs at about 30% for like 30 seconds and then they switch but it's always one at 100% and the other at 30% [02:38] HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP [02:39] .D [02:39] gabe, run top or system mnoitor and find out whats using he cpu [02:39] Zuropazlefuf: yes it does, but for RAM it's only using about 1.8 GB out of 3GB [02:39] Gentoo64, I added that line, had some difficulty loggin but, but now i am in - how do i know that command ran?

(already tried and failed) [02:41] Zuropazlefuf: I'll post CPU info plus top output [02:41] hold on guys :) [02:41] hi, can someone help me with ubuntu problems? [02:41] !java [02:41] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [02:41] !icedtea [02:42] gabe: and, are disk rpm good? and are u running off from cd? [02:42] on some games, the screen gets all garbaged.. and some games start and then crash [02:42] gabe, just paste the 1 top line in here [02:42] jeremiah_: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [02:42] Zuropazlefuf: nope, it's a fully installed system [02:42] i have ubuntu server 10.04 network card just went down if i replace if will it work [02:42] oh [02:43] command not found or something like that [02:43] gabe: could be the graphic card? [02:43] jeremiah_: then right click minecraft.jar and in the settings somewhere you want to allow execution and you want to open it with openjdk [02:43] after changing my mac address I can't connect to my wlan network, I get this error in dmesg after it sits there and tries to connect - [ 440.657423] wlan0: deauthenticated from 00:1c:df:a2:b9:28 (Reason: 2), it worked fine in 10.10, i just installed 11.10 [02:43] ey [02:43] helpplease: sorry, Im running 10.04 [02:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/812608/ [02:44] check it out please :) [02:44] jeremiah_: try this, http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp [02:44] gabe, zeitgeist then [02:44] idk why its using 100 cpu [02:44] you dont know how to create your own startupscript in /etc/ini.d/ ? [02:44] lol gabe [02:44] what's funny? :) [02:45] Gentoo64: what's zeitgeist? [02:45] gabe why u got zeitgeist running? [02:45] gabe, some gnome thing i think === microbe is now known as Morph [02:45] sounds like trash to me [02:45] Zuropazlefuf: I don't even know what it is [02:45] gabe: do sudo killall zeitgest [02:45] fa [02:45] gabe: do this [02:45] pstree [02:45] and i do sudo update-rc.d myscript.sh defaults [02:45] and post that [02:45] yeah wonderful realtek, updating bios does not solve the issue [02:45] i have java. just cant install it. ( i have the tar file) [02:45] gabe, did you install synapse? [02:46] after restart server stop at the programm [02:46] Vooloo, it wont [02:46] hello. may i ask few questions fow administration in pm? [02:46] after changing my mac address I can't connect to my wlan network, I get this error in dmesg after it sits there and tries to connect - [ 440.657423] wlan0: deauthenticated from 00:1c:df:a2:b9:28 (Reason: 2), it worked fine in 10.10, i just installed 11.10 [02:46] helpplease: I have not tried nor needed [02:46] jeremiah_: use this and see if u got java http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp [02:46] so are there any other "fixes" for r8168? [02:46] helpplease: maybe you need to end the line with & [02:46] I already did and working on it now. [02:46] the r8168 driver isn't solving my problem either; still taking 10-120 seconds to initialize eth0 after boot. [02:47] jeremiah_: and dl the linux self extract java [02:47] NelsonM, just buy an intel card like loads others have lol [02:47] witch line? [02:47] my computer is unusable [02:47] hmm [02:47] it says something is wrong. java is not working. [02:47] Vooloo, why? [02:47] how i can open bin? [02:47] NelsonM: maybe something funky in /etc/network/interface [02:47] Gentoo64: because realtek doesnt work [02:47] helpplease: the line where it stops [02:47] aw [02:47] and i extracted it already. [02:47] Vooloo, at all? [02:47] ryannathans: thanks, nah, this is the realtek driver problem we've been talking about. it's a well known linux driver bug [02:47] Gentoo64: well, it drops connection every 10 mins, so I would classify that as useless [02:48] NelsonM: are there any bugs reported? [02:48] although mine doesn't seem to drop packets at all, it's just not coming up right [02:48] NelsonM: naww, i'm having network problems too [02:48] I'm about to open a bug report [02:48] urlin2u: no, I do not know what that is [02:48] so, what standalone network card works 100% ? [02:48] I've just installed 11.10 64bit to existing LUKS LVM for /, and separate LUKS volume for /home. On boot, I have to supply passphrase twice, even though the passphrases are the same for the LVM and the /home partition. In openSuse I used to do mkinitrd to fix this - how can I fix it in 11.10? [02:48] actionpa1snip: yes, many bugs. the most useful one is from 2007. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/141343 [02:48] Vooloo, intel nics all work 100% [02:48] Ubuntu bug 141343 in linux (Ubuntu Hardy) "r8169 driver does not work with Realtek "PCI-E" 8111B integrated network controller" [Medium,Fix released] [02:49] Zuropazlefuf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/812611/ [02:49] I read 100 launchpad "fix released" posts and nothing works [02:49] i think you dont understand, its stopping in the programm and waiting so so long to the programm exit [02:49] lolololol --> Out of memory: Kill process 5916 (firefox) score 360 or sacrifice child [02:49] ok, where i need to get the ati raedon xpress 200 drivers for ubuntu 11.10 32 bits??? [02:49] NelsonM: sounds like one to avoid [02:50] !ati | Zuropazlefuf [02:50] Zuropazlefuf: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [02:50] NelsonM, its a pita card [02:50] id seriously buy a decent one [02:50] gabe: why are you using zeitgiest for? [02:50] dies_irae: sounds about right for firefox ;) [02:50] yeah, but it's the on board ethernet chip for a whole lot of common motherboards. and it works fine in windows. [02:50] what * [02:50] 1- linux dont give the right driver, 2- windows shuts it off by default [02:50] and realtek even makes linux drivers! it's weird it's been a bug for so long [02:50] NelsonM: different OS has different support [02:50] Zuropazlefuf: like I said... I do not know what that is, something else must have initiated it [02:50] What package do I file this bug report on? after changing my mac address I can't connect to my wlan network, I get this error in dmesg after it sits there and tries to connect - [ 440.657423] wlan0: deauthenticated from 00:1c:df:a2:b9:28 (Reason: 2), it worked fine in 10.10, i just installed 11.10 [02:51] gabe: go to uninstall that [02:51] NelsonM: I'd just disable the onboard, buy a PCI nic and slam it in [02:51] gabe, zeitgeist is part of gnome [02:51] I dont even know what PCI type of ports my MB have [02:51] afaik [02:51] ryannathans: network-manager imho [02:51] Zuropazlefuf: I can't kill it anyway... where did you see it? I issued "ps -A | grep zeitgiest" and nothing came up [02:51] actionpa1snip: yeah, it may come to that. still seems like a fail though, frustrating. [02:51] ActionPa1snip: cool, thanks [02:51] http://www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/product/2/3161/1204.jpg <- what type of PCI are the two on the left side? [02:51] so i only musst wirte a command in the script that ubutnu dont should wait of the programm,just going on his jobs [02:51] gabe, the pstree [02:51] NelsonM: frustrating indeed [02:51] Gentoo64: so I shouldn't touch that? [02:51] gabe, no leave it [02:51] it runs alone + inside gnome [02:52] (I enabled WOL on the realtek via ethtool in linux, after reboot it still didn't come up for 11 seconds.) [02:52] im quite sure its compulsory [02:52] these process} [02:52] Gentoo64: so is that what's killing my CPU? [02:52] gabe: session proceses [02:52] yeah [02:52] gabe, zeitgeist [02:52] lol [02:52] Zuropazlefuf: but Gentoo64 says to leave it [02:53] gabe, try killing it [02:53] does it kill the cpu every reboot? [02:53] or just after a while [02:53] Gentoo64: so I should kill the process but not uninstall it? [02:53] gabe, see, u got the zeit right inside ur session [02:53] sounds like some bug [02:53] Gentoo64: look at the pstree paste [02:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/812611/ === Santorum is now known as Smegma [02:54] My harddrive is making weird sounds clank clunk clunk clank clunk clunk... [02:54] Gentoo64: not really at boot, but when I'm using the laptop... it takes time to load browser, folders, files, anything... sometimes it hangs up for a few seconds [02:54] intel PWLA8391GT does not seem by the looks of the image to fit into my pci slot [02:54] jeremiah_, ? [02:54] yes? [02:55] hard drives do make noises :) [02:55] does anybody want to help me out with apache? [02:55] Vooloo, do you have a pcie slot? [02:55] not like this... (except the dying ones.) [02:56] jeremiah_, no idea [02:56] Gentoo64: dont know, I have the two slots on the left side available here: http://www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/product/2/3161/1204.jpg [02:56] what? [02:56] jeremiah_, no idea why it making funny noises [02:56] the white ones [02:56] Zuropazlefuf: ok I killed that zeit*** thing... now my question is, will it re-initiate every time I boot up the system? [02:56] and one blue [02:56] is this channel appropriate for apache-related questions? [02:56] Vooloo, yeah pcie-1 [02:56] Vooloo, http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/network-adapters/gigabit-network-adapters/gigabit-ct-desktop-adapter.html [02:56] thats a decent card [02:56] du. That is what a dying hdd makes when it is dying. [02:57] Zuropazlefuf: wow I could hear my CPU take a break now [02:57] Gentoo64: what is the blue slot? [02:57] Vooloo, pcie-16 [02:57] Gentoo64: i cant fit that card, my graphics card takes up too much space [02:57] gabe: maybe, check startup apps [02:57] Vooloo, if you only have 1 gpu then itll fit [02:57] how can i find the dependencies of a package [02:57] Vooloo, it should anywya [02:57] Gentoo64: the only space I have are the two long white ones and the blue [02:58] Zuropazlefuf & Gentoo64: thanks guys :) [02:58] goodbye :) [02:58] cya gabe [02:58] ummm+ [02:58] Vooloo, well to be safe get any "pci" one then,. not "pci-e" [02:58] the white slows at bottom are plain pcu [02:58] pci* [02:59] the tiny white ones are pcie-1 [02:59] any idea about session modes? [02:59] hello? [02:59] Gentoo64: but look at the pins here, there are 3 and the pci slot only have 2 [02:59] http://salestores.com/stores/images/images_747/PWLA8391GT.jpg [02:59] how can i find the dependencies of a package ?????? [03:00] Is it good that i have a pentium 2 460 mhz cpu? [03:00] Vooloo, looks like normal pci.. itll fit [03:00] what do i need to modify to make pulseaudio system default?? [03:00] jeremiah_, for normal desktop use? [03:00] yes. [03:00] jeremiah_, are you running gnome ubuntu on that? [03:00] jeremiah_: lol that's for old OS [03:01] no xubuntu 8.10 [03:01] Gentoo64: ok, you know what low profile means? [03:01] jeremiah_: choose a lower resouce usage linux for that cpu [03:01] umm [03:01] Vooloo, yea, the metal bit at the end is smaller [03:01] jeremiah_: LXDE wil make your OS more responsive [03:01] Vooloo, most low profile cards come with an adapter that will fit in normal pc [03:01] It works great though. have any ideas for a smaller one? [03:01] jeremiah_: Intrepid has no further updates and is EOL [03:01] jeremiah_, lxde is very slightly faster than xfce [03:02] jeremiah_: Lubuntu is super slim and mean :) [03:02] jeremiah_: maybe a pure debian, and with blackbox [03:02] what is THAT? [03:02] k, if this card doesn't work I'm going to burn up this machine [03:02] jeremiah_, just another desktop [03:02] Vooloo, it will work [03:02] promise [03:02] jeremiah_: lubuntu is a variant [03:02] so i should try debian [03:02] which uses LXDE [03:02] pr lubuntu [03:02] yeah, jeremiah_ hmm lol [03:02] lol [03:03] or not qr [03:03] is use bsd on something that old [03:03] jeremiah_: looks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png ;) [03:03] ActionPa1snip: it looks like a win7 lol [03:03] Zuropazlefuf: why, because the icons in the panel don't have text? [03:03] but more wireder [03:03] lol [03:04] and the wallpaper gives such a win look xD [03:04] could i somehow just install it to my pc without having to burn a disk or use a usb stick? [03:04] Zuropazlefuf: I like blue, its easy on the eyes [03:04] :) [03:04] jeremiah_, no [03:04] not really [03:04] Indeed, a darker color is easier on the eyes. [03:04] ActionPa1snip: umm, how about gnome's default blue? [03:04] lol [03:05] im fine here with blueish look :D [03:05] then what? i am out of disks. and have no money. I am only.... very young [03:05] jeremiah_, a cd is like 20p [03:05] Gentoo64: help me out [03:05] you could find that on the floor [03:05] Zuropazlefuf: do you mean the stripey thing? [03:05] Uh i am in th usa. [03:05] yep ActionPa1snip [03:06] Zuropazlefuf: its not bad at all :) [03:06] yep [03:06] And i cant buy them single. [03:06] jeremiah_: like 5 cents [03:06] 50 [03:06] Zuropazlefuf, with what [03:06] jeremiah_: do you not have a USB stick you can use? [03:06] nope, 30 [03:06] toxrn, thanks for the conversion [03:07] yes. but i have never used it for installing things. Does it have to be empty for it? [03:07] jeremiah_, yes [03:07] ActionPa1snip: im using right now, gnome 3 with clearlooks window deco and whiteglass mouse, icon theme, humanity dark and adwalta for gtk [03:07] does anyone know where gstreamer keeps it's plugins? [03:08] hmmm. In the bios there is no option for using a usb stick [03:08] jeremiah_, the comp is too old to boot from usb [03:08] its very old [03:08] you could use plop [03:08] ah, for inside areas like app toolbars ,etc it uses default icon set, and oh well [03:08] or get a cd [03:08] ya probably is [03:08] jeremiah_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1599293 [03:09] jeremiah_, if i was u id buy a cdrw [03:09] that way u can reuse it [03:09] Gentoo64: oh, why when i change window decoration it takes no effect unless i restart session/wm?.... [03:10] Zuropazlefuf, no idea :s [03:10] that happens on most sessions [03:10] funny. 25$ for about 50. I have 0$ [03:10] jeremiah_, cant really do much :) [03:10] Zuropazlefuf: humanity theme in LXDE (made using GTK3.2) under Precise with Lubuntu default theme and wallpaper [03:10] Gentoo64: and why lightdm haves the iusse of launching unity (ubuntu) when i want gnome? [03:10] jeremiah_, you can install with just a ISO the link has the instructions. [03:11] Zuropazlefuf: also with custom pidgin and parcellite icons for the panel [03:11] !nounity | Zuropazlefuf [03:11] Zuropazlefuf: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [03:11] the link did not help. but i will find a way! [03:11] ActionPa1snip: lol, i got alot of packages here :P [03:11] Zuropazlefuf: for the themes you mean? [03:11] Gentoo64: i have the shell installed! [03:11] jeremiah_, if you post on the ubuntu forums the person who made that thread will probably get you set up. [03:12] ActionPa1snip: yeah, got many cool packages here [03:12] i added /etc/sbin/powertop on my rc.local, but when i login the powertop screes shows and i get kickedback to login page [03:12] Gentoo64: otherwise, how come im using the black gnome3 bar? [03:13] Zuropazlefuf: I'd make a metapackage for them, makes life easier === jack is now known as Guest98073 [03:13] zulax: af, do not try it on login something that is not prepared/desgined for login mode [03:13] ActionPa1snip: lol yeah [03:13] ActionPa1snip: a bigger! [03:13] ActionPa1snip: umm, or maybe split it in cats.... [03:14] Zuropazlefuf, how can i make it run automatically after the login? [03:14] ActionPa1snip: yeah, metapacakges are great [03:14] Zuropazlefuf: no, you installed the packages from PPAs and such right? [03:14] i cant add it in startup application casue it needs a sudo password [03:14] zulax: add the script or whatever to the startup [03:14] ActionPa1snip: nono, im installed from the official repo [03:14] i* [03:15] zulax: I've gotten around that by making a script to run the command with a looong sleep, then make rc.local run the script backgrounded. Its hacky but it works [03:15] does anyone know where gstreamer0.10 keeps it's plugins? [03:15] zulax: to startup list [03:15] Zuropazlefuf: even easier then :) [03:15] ActionPa1snip: yeah [03:15] ActionPa1snip: add that meta to the official repo then, based on official packages [03:15] :D [03:15] ActionPa1snip, good idea, so in rc.local put first sleep 300 and then put the command? [03:16] Zuropazlefuf: I guess, metapackages make life tones easier [03:16] does anyone know of a alternative to microsoft onenote for linux?? im using onenote as interactive classroom and i want to be able to do this in linux instead as it is a perfered OS of mine [03:16] zulax: no, or the boot wil simply hang that long, you need a script which can be backgrounded then use the sleep there [03:16] ok [03:16] should i get debian 64 or 32 bit? [03:16] ok I tried all the recommended fixes for this Realtek r8168 NIC and none work. It just doesn't quite work right in linux. Lots of details: http://nelsonslog.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/realtek-ethernet-drivers-r8169-vs-r8168/ [03:16] ActionPa1snip: now i got some attention from you, why lightdm runs unity instead of gnome shell, it only happens on lightdm, and i have gnome shell installed [03:16] zulax: the script will form its own thread and the system will continue to boot but the script will be running the sleep command [03:17] I've just installed 11.10 64bit to existing LUKS LVM for /, and separate LUKS volume for /home. On boot, I have to supply passphrase twice, even though the passphrases are the same for the LVM and the /home partition. How can I fix this? [03:17] Zuropazlefuf: no idea, maybe there needs to be a new entry in the menu. [03:17] miller618: tried http://alternativeto.net/software/microsoft-onenote/ ? [03:17] ActionPa1snip: in any other DM it works great, troubles with lightdm :( [03:18] Zuropazlefuf: switch dm then.. [03:18] Zuropazlefuf: are there bugs reported? [03:18] thanks will do i just need it so my prof can interact on my sccreen in a connected session [03:18] ill take a look now [03:18] yy/quit === Yukiteru is now known as Guest90932 [03:18] ActionPa1snip: and why do i need to restart session/restart wm? to make window decorations to take effect? [03:19] should i get debian 32 or 64 bit???????

[03:20] Zuropazlefuf: There should be a gnome-shell entry in the cog menu, you could make one [03:20] jeremiah_: hey, wat [03:20] ActionPa1snip: yes is there [03:20] Zuropazlefuf: run: ubuntu-bug lightdm and you can report your issue [03:20] should i get debian 64 or 32 bit? [03:20] ActionPa1snip: but when i choose that, it runs ubuntu [03:20] 64 [03:20] it depends of your processor... [03:20] jeremiah_: 32 of course [03:21] what do you have though? [03:21] jeremiah_ got a p2 cpu, too bad, 460mhz [03:21] 32 bit lol [03:21] what does that mean? [03:21] 64 is not gonna work :p [03:21] jeremiah_: choose x86 [03:21] ya ok... [03:22] jeremiah_: download 32-bits debian. [03:22] ok. thanks. [03:22] Zuropazlefuf: I'd expect it to run ubuntu... [03:22] ActionPa1snip: hmm, what's the keyboard combination for gnome-shell run apps?

I get this error : The following packages have unmet dependencies: libapache2-mod-php5 : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.5-1ubuntu7) but 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.4 is to be installed. E:Broken Packages. [03:25] any ideas? === ewokbot is now known as haylo [03:26] sudo apt-get install php5-common libapache2-mod-php5 [03:26] Zuropazlefuf: will libreoffice connect to ms onenote interactive session ? [03:27] Datalink, no go. [03:27] miller618: maybe === kermit1 is now known as kermit [03:27] Zuropazlefuf: if you want, the command I gave does the same.. [03:27] oh lol [03:27] but it has the option that u know of of creating a session to do the same thing [03:27] Naeblis: try: sudo apt-get -f install [03:28] ActionPa1snip: tada, posted in lpad [03:28] ActionPa1snip, still not working. :( [03:28] Naeblis, sudo apt-get -f install [03:28] http://tinychat.com/aj7hg [03:28] I have a question about downloading debian. when i got to the torrent page there where all these weird torrent things which do i click? or does it matter? [03:29] ActionPa1snip: noticed that the icon does nothing [03:29] and, i lost debian menu :( [03:29] Naeblis, that should deal with the floating dependency and let you install php5-common and the apache [03:29] how do i restore the menus back to default? [03:29] Zuropazlefuf: what icon? [03:29] the report problem [03:29] Zuropazlefuf: oh, never used it. I always use the ubuntu-bug command [03:30] jeremiah_, give me the link to the page. [03:30] http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.3/i386/bt-cd/ [03:30] Datalink, when I do use the -f, it installs git-man liberror-perl. But still can't install php. [03:30] jeremiah_: I'd ask in #debian [03:31] wha? [03:31] ActionPa1snip: i lost some stuff in menu, how i make system reset it to default and put the right stuff the system haves? [03:32] jeremiah_: yeah, ubuntu is not debian, u need to go debian channel for this [03:32] Zuropazlefuf: try pressing ALT+F2 and run: gnome-shell --replace it will reread your config [03:32] hmm, why lol, it does not change the menus, and i had deleted something... [03:33] anyone have a site with good instructions on how to get ubuntu dual booting on an asus transformer? [03:33] the best site i found was this [03:33] http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer/How_to_install_Ubuntu#Installing_from_a_computer_running_linux [03:33] ActionPa1snip: is the same as restarting session, the things i lost are lost forever because i deleted it from edit menu app [03:33] http://tinychat.com/aj7hg [03:33] but they don't tel l me how to use nvflash to install the rom [03:34] hoshi411: register and ask? [03:34] register? with xda you mean? [03:34] yea [03:34] Naeblis, I have no idea why PHP would fail to install unless it where already installed... [03:34] ah i see [03:34] ActionPa1snip?? [03:34] ya [03:34] jj [03:35] Zuropazlefuf: what? [03:35] Datalink, so it would say "broken package", as it is in this case? [03:35] with openbox nautilus hijacks the desktop and such whenever I go to open a directory. is there anything I can do to fix this? Would setting thunar to default work? [03:35] Zuropazlefuf: the --replace makes the config be reread. I'm not sure how to default the settins [03:35] whre can i review the gconf settings file [03:36] ActionPa1snip: umm, yeah, that's why it do not help, that deletion was saved :( [03:36] Zuropazlefuf: possibly https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=987505#p987505 [03:36] oh [03:38] what is equivalent to mkinitrd in Ubuntu? [03:39] ActionPa1snip: i do not want to reset it all [03:39] only the menu part [03:39] evernoob: update-initramfs [03:39] evernoob, maybe check out initramfs-tools? [03:40] found that by running apt-cache search initrd [03:40] you can view more info on it via apt-cache show initrd [03:40] ActionPa1snip: idea how i can make pulseaudio as the only and default system audio server?? [03:40] errrr sorry apt-cache show initramfs-tools [03:40] thanks, will check [03:40] ActionPa1snip? [03:41] anyone around [03:41] nope [03:41] yep [03:41] Zuropazlefuf: pulse is an abstraction for Alsa, you can't just have pulse [03:41] I want to use root on ubuntu [03:41] Zuropazlefuf: have some patience..

On boot, I have to supply passphrase twice, even though the passphrases are the same for the LVM and the /home partition. How can I fix this? [03:46] Is the drama meter back down to zero? [03:46] mephestys: seems so :) [03:46] mephestys, it is always a party here. [03:46] * ActionPa1snip resumes normal service [03:46] and im rooted, i use root for daly basis, [03:46] and umm [03:47] Zuropazlefuf: not wise at all [03:47] pulse audio is not avaiable in root session,. that what im trying to do, put sound to root gui... [03:47] ActionPa1snip: help me? [03:47] I've rooted exactly 1 time heh [03:47] Zuropazlefuf: the OS isn't made for desktop root login, nor is it smart if you like security [03:47] im a risk taker [03:48] Zuropazlefuf: no, you don't understand your OS [03:48] * CyberDawg yawns [03:48] Zuropazlefuf, there are distros that run in root use one of them [03:48] I've only just started using Ubuntu Linux as a primary OS on my laptop ^_^ [03:49] mephestys: sweet, hope you enjoy it :D [03:49] i do, just i love root, just, overcoming the restrictions, i think here i can put sound on root, workaround for this, pulseaudio --system, but it does not always work [03:49] and wow, [03:49] ActionPa1snip, I have been so far, though I admit I'm not a fan of the Unity desktop [03:49] xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver works great on root [03:49] try gnome 3 [03:49] its awesome [03:49] Zuropazlefuf, just sudo when you need root... [03:50] does anyone know where gstreamer0.10 keeps it's plugins? [03:50] for xscreensaver i needed to remove xhost acl [03:50] Telugodu, I switched over to Gnome 3 after learning how to go about switching desktop environments ^_^ [03:50] Telugodu, now I'm working on my own theme as well [03:50] <-- fast learner [03:50] I tried to find a terminal in gnome3 - by the time I found it I had forgotten why I wanted it [03:50] and now it works great, hmmm, why screensaver preview is not showing as root with the daemon active? [03:50] * CyberDawg suspects evernoob is old too [03:51] !ot | Zuropazlefuf [03:51] Zuropazlefuf: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:51] evernoob, accessories has a terminal [03:51] start menu and cascading lists - what could be better? [03:51] Zuropazlefuf:haha [03:51] im just talkin, just, commenting iusses i got :( [03:51] cascading lists with logical categories [03:51] Telugodu: wat lol? [03:53] Zuropazlefuf: I too think the same about evernoob [03:53] I do have a support-related question though: if I switch over to Compiz for window management, and manage to screw something up, am I going to be able to fix it by going into one of the classic desktops and switching back to Metacity, or will that also be trying to use Compiz [03:53] * Zuropazlefuf wants some help with some stuff, he's trying to remove main restrictions that root haves.. * [03:53] Zuropazlefuf: so running web browsers and X servers as root is good. Why do you think ubuntu disables the account by default? Do you think you know better than the guys developing and coding Ubuntu? [03:54] no, and it haves root off because two things, no blank passwords and security iusse + and no, im a noob compared to the dev ppl [03:54] ActionPa1snip: ^ [03:55] ActionPa1snip.... [03:55] Zuropazlefuf: root doesn't have a blank password by default [03:56] it does, the system ask root pw when installation [03:56] ActionPa1snip: [03:56] mephestys, what desktop are you using, unity uses compiz already. [03:56] Zuropazlefuf: it doesn't, it asks for a username and password, not root [03:56] Zuropazlefuf, sudo will ask for your password, you can disable that option, however running as root is pretty much putting your system and others at risk [03:56] BitPim reads phone data, puts it into a SQLite database, then crashes, taking the data with it. I'm on 11.10. [03:57] 1.0.7 bitpim [03:57] Zuropazlefuf: there is a difference [03:57] urlin2u, Gnome 3 [03:57] and also, why new users other than the first user ever, are not sudoers? [03:57] mephestys, gnome 3 uses mutter compiz wont work. [03:57] ActionPa1snip: not in ubuntu but in some other distro [03:58] Zuropazlefuf: control, if a user is to be able to use sudo etc an admin must add them to the admins group [03:58] urlin2u, Got it, thanks :) [03:58] and? [03:58] mephestys, cool, would be nice though. [03:58] Zuropazlefuf: that's their choice. Ubuntu is setup as it is for security. More distros are starting to use sudo afaik [03:58] cough rootkit [03:59] Zuropazlefuf: and that's why they aren't able to use sudo... [03:59] oh... [03:59] urlin2u, I thought Gnome 3 used metacity as well, clearly that is not the case. Looks like mutter is going for the same minimal approach though [04:00] Zuropazlefuf: unlike windows where everyone is an admin and everyone can do evertything. So web browsers run as admin and spyware and viruses have free reign [04:00] ok, i understand it [04:00] Zuropazlefuf: so malicious java scripts running in your browser will also get root accessif you log in as root [04:01] Zuropazlefuf: so they can screw up your system while you casually browse [04:01] ActionPa1snip: most win users are confused, they think administrator regins} [04:01] We done explaining the obvious? [04:01] back to support please [04:01] Zuropazlefuf: you are no different.. [04:01] yeah, it haves special things like disabled login, and is internal, [04:01] yeah, stop indulging him and answer my question! [04:02] ActionPa1snip: im aware about all this [04:02] just trying to educate [04:02] we are fine now ActionPa1snip? [04:02] Zuropazlefuf: oh yeah, just confused why you still use root despite the huge security flaws it gives. [04:03] ...if I wanted to perform an Ubuntu "reset", what'd be the easiest method? (barring installing clean from CD). I.e. apt-get purging ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-session, and re-installing? [04:03] because of the pain of typing sudo and gksu everywere + using root term [04:03] Zuropazlefuf: after you setup the OS, its rare [04:03] lorddelta, the whole OS or the desktop, and which de? [04:03] Installed some updates, and pretty sure they broke whatever flimsy kdm to gnome-session thing I had going.... [04:04] lorddelta: ubuntu-desktop is a metpackage, u got to format the whole disk or else to reset it [04:04] lorddelta: if you log in to liveCD and rename all the hidden folders in your users home and log in, you will get vanilla settings for your user. Is that what you mean? [04:04] urlin2u: Euhm. Not the whole OS. I'm relatively comfortable at the cmdline, the only thing I'm not strong at is X11... [04:05] ActionPa1snip: ahh i always do root access on livecd xD [04:05] I just mean a desktop reset... [04:05] lorddelta, which desktop? [04:05] lorddelta: delete your home [04:05] I already have 5 or 6 desktops lying around... [04:05] Zuropzlefuf: No. XD [04:05] Zuropazlefuf: depends what you are doing, taht s is temporary so sudo -i can be useful [04:05] fighting bluetooth in 10.04 "Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed: Page Timeout" look familiar ? [04:05] Zuropazlefuf: stop giving bad advice or I will remove you [04:05] anyone else have a problem with the new kernel update? [04:05] ActionPa1snip: for me im in root need, :) [04:06] pangolin: im not giving bad advice! [04:06] lorddelta: the method I gave will force the OS to make fresh configs [04:06] it wouldn't even load form e [04:06] Zuropazlefuf: its not needed, you just sacrificed security for a mild convenience [04:06] Zuropazlefuf: telling someone to delete their /home is not good advice [04:06] oh :( [04:06] ActionPa1snip: please stop feeding [04:07] pangolin: I'm done, s/he will have to learn the hard way :D [04:07] Well. Sorry to say but nobody's proposed a sensible solution (or explained why their's is a sensible one) [04:07] I'll go ahead with my desktop-purges, and see where that gets me. [04:07] I already had a half-zombie ubuntu/gnome/avant/compiz hack together that I was ok with. [04:07] lorddelta: why isn't mine sensible? [04:07] ActionPa1snip: ik, just i get abit annyoned about kept ask for pw to do special master system stuff [04:07] I just realize its a far cry from what "official" 12.04 looks like. [04:08] lol [04:08] 12.04 ? I'm still annoyed with 10.04 [04:08] lol [04:08] Zuropazlefuf: its rare once you get the OS setup. You want to learn the hard way that's fine. I can't tell you anymore. You still don't understand your OS [04:08] ActionPa1snip: renaming all the hidden folders in my home directory? Really? No. I've got other stuff that I want sittin' in there. [04:09] I'm not an idiot, I'm just not great with X. [04:09] lorddelta: yes. note rename NOT DELETE [04:09] lorddelta: what is the end goal you want to achieve? [04:09] lorddelta: there is a difference [04:09] ActionPa1snip: i do :( and yes is rare, it's like a personal needing [04:09] lorddelta: copy the config stuff [04:09] lorddelta: you can rename stuff back you want to keep like email folders and such but the gconf / dconf will be defaulted [04:09] move* [04:10] lorddelta: u can just move from your /home the stuff that is not personal, config files, etc [04:10] is bluetooth fundamentally broken in 10.04 ? [04:10] pangolin: gnome-session broke (I don't know why, I assuming its buried in log files somewhere, due to recent updates that probably have something to do with me using unofficial repos), just looking to clear out my "settings" for whatever gnome-stuff there currently is. [04:10] kop: idk [04:10] fighting bluetooth in 10.04 "Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed: Page Timeout" look familiar ? [04:10] kop: never had an issue with it personally [04:11] Because I frankly don't care about it too much. As long as I can get a working copy and kill like half of it later (and run my own stuff) [04:11] kop: tried a later release? [04:11] lorddelta: in that case go with what ActionPa1snip suggested [04:11] lorddelta: maybe gnome3 problem in 11.04? [04:12] i ran i some kind of corrupt gnome because i had put gnome3 in it [04:12] ActionPa1snip, a later release would break more than it fixed , thi isn't NetBSD ;-/ [04:12] Zuropazlefuf: Nah, 11.10 [04:12] kop: no, do fresh install, should work great [04:12] lorddelta: oh [04:12] lorddelta: maybe clean install fix? [04:13] kop: later kernel may support what you have, better [04:13] because of all gnome 2 stuff that confict with gnome 3 [04:13] Zuropazlefuf, did on a spare drive , garbage [04:13] *sigh* pangolin, ActionPa1snip, thanks I'll try the deletion of the gconf, see what that does for me. [04:13] ~/.gconf, right? [04:13] lorddelta: just rename, then you have a rolback path [04:13] ActionPa1snip, later kernel drops oss suport [04:13] kop: ahhhh [04:13] don't delete, rename them to whatever.bak [04:14] lorddelta: yes, .dconfig, and config/gconf [04:14] kop: let me see what I can find? [04:14] ActionPa1snip: can you still help me remove some of the root barriers? [04:14] ActionPa1snip: or are you done? [04:15] kop: is you run: sudo service bluetooth restart does it help [04:15] hola, am actually attempting to configure a webpage from home. is a person able to assist? [04:15] Zuropazlefuf: no I can't the OS isn't designed for taht [04:15] ActionPa1snip, it isn't that I am a total PussAwful hater (I am ) It just kills all my HDware and half my apps [04:16] Hetep, this is ubuntu support, you might try ##linux [04:16] ActionPa1snip: i don't care, is not designed but it can handle this [04:16] ActionPa1snip, not even a reboot after the guide in ubuntu helps [04:16] kop: gota use what works dude, lucid is supported for a good while stil :) [04:16] Has anyone else had issues with the menu-bar in gnome not disappearing when it's toggled to not show? Apparently it's bug 874344, and I am curious if anyone found a work around, it's really annoying.

[04:40] And that is the "root" theme [04:40] Zuropazlefuf: same process, just a differnet file and paths [04:41] cipher__: synaptic needs root as you are applying changes outside home, it needs admin priveledges.

[04:43] cipher__: if you run stuff with sudo and gksudo it will change root's profile. [04:44] Yeah I got that :p [04:44] I understand, I have been programming on linux for years. It's just I understand bsdsockets better than I do window managers :p [04:44] and by years a mean year* [04:44] cipher__: tried a reboot. Could be the ticket [04:46] My webserver still delivers my sites, so the box is live, but ssh refuses my connections. [04:46] I was in the CLI last night, and after I ran a soft restart, i got locked out [04:46] sorry for the late reply..I am using 11.10 [04:46] So..the update manager detects the programs I installed in my system and update it ? [04:47] Yes, united7. The manager tracks updates to your programs in dkpg and delivers you messages based on updates [04:48] Is anyone running 32-bit ubuntu? [04:48] I suspect my server is returning to safe mode, as even hard boots do not rectify the problem [04:48] rcmaehl: why architecture dependent question? [04:48] I need a new copy of /usr/bin/clear [04:49] without REINSTALLING the ENTIRE OS [04:49] ActionPa1snip: there's rpm here? [04:49] !rpm | Zuropazlefuf [04:49] Zuropazlefuf: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [04:49] rcmaehl: maybe send to you? [04:49] Zuropazlefuf: what? [04:49] :O, and i have unckeched unsupported [04:50] rcmaehl: hmm, why not mail the file or else? [04:50] rcmaehl: if you reinstall ncurses-bin it will reinstate the clear binary [04:50] is 11.10 version? [04:50] bom dia galera [04:50] ActionPa1snip: so what i can do without installing alien? [04:50] good evening raclinux [04:51] Zuropazlefuf: use the compressed file [04:51] hmm? [04:51] Zuropazlefuf: omgubuntu specified a PPA a while back too, not sure if it's still around [04:51] i got two things, an rpm, and an extracted tar [04:51] tem alguem na sala que saiba usar bem o DeVeDe? [04:51] well, is a java diir [04:51] !en raclinux [04:51] Zuropazlefuf: the script I gave is basically what you need, just change the paths and file names [04:52] and wat about the wget [04:52] Zuropazlefuf: the process is identical [04:52] i do not need the get [04:52] Zuropazlefuf: thinnk about it [04:52] Zuropazlefuf: exactly [04:52] didn't do the trick ActionPa1snip [04:52] Zuropazlefuf: you already have the file, so why would you need wget? [04:53] ActionPa1snip: im just a bit blind on script, i have already a dir [04:53] cipher__: bah :( [04:53] ActionPa1snip: edit it to point FF? [04:53] Zuropazlefuf: just copy the lines to the terminal and change them as you are using a different file which will make a different folder [04:53] Zuropazlefuf: i the last few lines, yes [04:53] ActionPa1snip: sorry, been awhile, only was supposed to rename .gconf and .config, yes? I did try that, didn't work, yay my problems go deeper X_X (unless I missed something). Yay, time to learn how my X/KDM works (properly) [04:54] Zuropazlefuf: you can run them manually if you copy and paste then to terminal, you can verify stuff then run the comamnd [04:54] At least openbox/kubuntu work. [04:55] ActionPa1snip: i don't understand very well the install... === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === Guest90717 is now known as thegoodcushion [04:56] line 10 === thegoodcushion is now known as richardcavell [04:56] does anyone know how to setup a ftp server and access folders/fies remotly? [04:57] ActionPa1snip: Is there a way to ignore package dependancies? For some reason a few packages aren't showing correctly which won't let me reinstall ncurses-bin [04:57] Zuropazlefuf: change the path for the one you make, yours will be different as you are using a different java [04:58] obiexo: look into vsftpd [04:58] rcmaehl: use the --no-deps option on apt-get (if memory serves), read: man apt-get [04:59] Zuropazlefuf: so if you have the java folder: jreaaa then you'd copy the jreaaa folder to /usr/lib/jvm and the command would be: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jreaaa/bin/java 81 [04:59] Zuropazlefuf: its literally that simple [04:59] why has my sound disappeared after last update?

[05:05] Mahn: I only find guides others can find easily [05:05] I'm sure I just don't understand it well enough. [05:05] +1 actionpa1snip [05:05] brettd88: just but grub on sda, it'll launch first [05:06] grub has ossniffer module which will find your windows [05:07] action, u know how I could restore sshd?

[05:14] oh i see, nvm.

[05:17] put auto-start scripts in init.d [05:17] I don't have to worry about that in 11.10? [05:17] gnome 3 for mint12 has a separate window theme drop-down [05:17] its a java server for a game and launching in a detached screen [05:17] witeds: if you add it in /etc/rc.local it will run as root just before the login prompt, you can use su -c to run it as a different user if needed [05:18] so if I go to gnome-look.org the themes I'm looking for are all going to be under what category? [05:18] Gnome Shell? [05:18] ok so su as in sudo or just su itself [05:19] lethanis: gtk3 theme/style [05:19] sud [05:19] o [05:20] witeds: you can add: su --command="command here" username [05:20] so what is unity? [05:20] lethanis: for netbooks lol [05:20] witeds: if it needs running as root, just add the commad, add an ampersand to the end of the line so it is backgrounded too [05:20] lehthanis: its a shell for gnome [05:21] *deep breath* removing gnome...resolving to go with xfce4/open-box, i.e. something more stable/lightweight.

[05:21] i will play around with this thanks for the info it will help alot [05:22] I'm asking all these questions because every time I've tried a linux distro thus far, when I download themes, they only theme a portion, not everything...so I'm tryign to make sure I download themes that will change everything [05:22] Mahn: can clients ping the server? Is there a firewall configured etc? Are there certain accounts which cannot connect [05:22] Mahn: is the ssh service running? are you connecting to the right port specified in sshd_config [05:23] Action: the webserver still delivers. IPTables / sshkeys are all clear, no accounts under no ips nor domains will be accepted [05:23] so for Ubuntu 11.10 right after installing from the cd, all I need to theme is the GTK 3.x themes? [05:23] Action: I was in the box, after a soft restart this happened [05:23] Mahn: check all that stuff dude [05:23] it worked [05:23] thakns [05:23] thanks* [05:23] I have a feeling it's returning to safe mode, and have hard booted it half a dozen times [05:24] Only access I have is when i run the network rescue kernel [05:24] pings return, webserver delivers, everything seems kosher except it will not accept ssh connections [05:24] have gone through all the ssh_keys, and there's nothing i can find that will keep me out [05:24] I'm not in my own IPtable [05:25] lol [05:25] Is 11.10 running Gnome 3.2? [05:26] action: i've set ssh_config to different ports, and all ports, ssh still refused [05:26] ActionPa1snip, I have to say 11.10 sort of sucks. They are trying to make it too user friendly, to the point they lock you out of your own system. [05:26] 7.04-10 was great [05:27] how to cancel the messages that someone join channel or someone out of chatroom ? [05:27] web4free: which client are you using? [05:27] web4free: That's in your IRC client settings.

I have 2 hard drives. One with win 7, and the other was unformatted. I selected "install alongside windows 7" as the install option and it installed on the empty hard drive. Now when I boot it only goes to windows, and if I try to force it to boot from the other hdd it says no OS. The 2nd hdd has a grub partition with only the grub_bios flag. No idea how to make it boot into ubuntu [05:42] something went wrong when it asked you to install grub [05:42] installed on another drive [05:42] kop: never had an issue on my geforce 6150LE [05:42] Ugh, can't seem to get security.ubuntu.com to work [05:43] Darksyns, I don't recall it asking to install grub [05:43] sup sup [05:43] how large is your windows partition? [05:43] 300gb [05:44] the other disc is 100 [05:44] use virtual manager in windows to shrink your windows partition to maybe 270.. [05:44] and then reinstall ubuntu.. putting root on the parition u shrank [05:45] format the drive it installed it to [05:45] there are other ways but.. will take a while [05:45] hmm ok [05:45] this is easiest and cleanest [05:45] i can handle reinstalling [05:45] any free ubuntu shell around? [05:45] so will i have to manually set up file systems? [05:45] yes.. [05:46] that will be better [05:46] yeah [05:46] what would be good ones for the 100g disc.../home? [05:46] u could use super grub disk to boot into ubuntu [05:47] that depends on how much you plan on using ubuntu [05:47] then isue the command update grub [05:47] issue [05:47] Darksyns, very rarely [05:47] as root [05:47] and...it's my work computer...and I'd rather not mess with the windows disk :D [05:47] I've been fine with 40gigs before [05:48] just make sure / has sufficient space [05:48] yeah [05:48] newbie|2, i'll give that a try first maybe [05:49] hello [05:49] either way you are going to have to install grub to the windows drive unless you use supergrub disk all the time [05:49] yes [05:49] I get the wrong resolution under ubuntu using nvidia propietory drivers.

[06:03] acidfrost: what wifi card are you using? [06:03] atheros AR5001 [06:03] hrm... [06:03] newbie|2, 4gb, but I still don't know why it asked me for a username /password after install [06:03] mine is b45 [06:03] i should mention i am making this via windows so the sudo commands dont help... still reading though lol :P [06:04] i haven't had to work on atheros before, i think i'll be useless to you [06:04] acidfrost: i can tell you my wifi would drop out sometimes when i was in monitor mode [06:04] i'm thinking it might be do to overheating as sometimes my netbook gets warm [06:04] Glacia: go down to step 6 [06:04] acidfrost: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues [06:04] Glacia: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Installing_Ubuntu_on_USB_drive_using_Windows [06:05] acidfrost: also try disabling ipv6 if you don't use it [06:05] like i said i was still reading i was on step 5 :P [06:05] wow it got late [06:06] bassgoon: if you get asked for a username / password, press CTRL+ALT+F1 log in there and run: passwd ubuntu set the pass then press CTRL+ALT+F7 and login as ubuntu with the pass you set [06:06] i just updated to 11.04, its.... weird [06:06] i don't think i like unity [06:06] artichoku: sounds like you just met unity [06:06] ahaha, yup [06:06] Mahn: http://i40.tinypic.com/15wzcyx.png [06:06] artichoku: Natty has falback gnome by default, select it at login [06:06] whats got me confused though is that when it drops no usb wifi cards will register, lsusb will show my belkin FD6 and FD7 as Belkin Components [06:07] yeah i saw that, compiz will let me disable it, too [06:07] err I meant to highlight you Action [06:07] ActionPa1snip, genius, thanks :) [06:07] which i may do because i want my desktop cube [06:07] After I enabled the change I opened the windows on the right Action [06:07] cipher__: what am I looking at there? [06:08] My attempt to show you gtk doesn't work properly on 11.10. [06:08] I changed the theme on the left, then opened the windows on the right. [06:08] i believe it's just about time for bed. that's enough trance music and MOO's for one night [06:08] I was hoping maybe it would spark some idea? [06:08] have fun everyone [06:09] cipher__: you can suppress those errors in the terminal with: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf [06:09] thanks :p [06:10] . [06:10] apparently I quit [06:10] morning, howto fix a corrupt mouse pointer on an older laptop?

[06:12] huh? [06:14] ActionPa1snip, look how ugly it is: http://i39.tinypic.com/velr2s.png :( [06:16] Im wanting to restart my computer every day at 12:15. Would this be correct in crontab "15 0 * * * sudo shutdown -r now" [06:16] cipher__: GTK is just a framework used to make the Gnome desktop. You can't really replace it [06:17] I thought GTK was like QT, or any other window rendering system? [06:17] chris__: 'sudo reboot' would save u several bytes [06:18] how so dies_irae? [06:18] cipher__: thats just another toolkit [06:18] Anyone know how to make compiz open/close animations work for all windows? [06:18] howto fix a corrupt mouse pointer in unity?

[06:19] ActionPa1snip: yes, its on an older laptop, after reboot corrupt mouse pointer is gone [06:19] chris__: 'shutdown -r now' is considerable longer than 'reboot' [06:19] tes [06:19] hi.... guys [06:20] dice: just install a different DE and use that. I'd suggest XFCE if you like the Gnome2 smell [06:20] d34d1y: did you install ccsm? [06:21] lotuspsychje: is the ram healthy? [06:21] Yes I have it installed, i just don't know how to make the open/close animations work for every window [06:22] ActionPa1snip: i think 1gig, does unity go blurry on low ram? [06:22] so is the 1mb partition that got created with the bios_grub flag the boot partition? [06:22] lotuspsychje: wasnt a question of quantity, was a question of health [06:23] ActionPa1snip, I am just curious, does X provide a low level interface to draw primitives and such? Is that were other took kits abstract X and build upon it? Or what is GTK exactly? [06:23] ActionPa1snip: ram should be fine... [06:24] is there a way to allow limited users run 'sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade'? [06:24] cipher__: as far as I remember it doesn't. I remember in mandrake having to manually place windows when my WM fellover [06:24] lotuspsychje: should isn't sufficient [06:24] lotuspsychje: there is memtest in the grub menu. I suggest you use it [06:25] ActionPa1snip: when the mouse pointer get corrupt it looks like a little cube [06:25] lotuspsychje: run a few of the tests and see if you see any red. press ESC to reboot after about 20 mins to reboot to your OS [06:26] ActionPa1snip: ill memtest, but i doubt its ram related... === irritum is now known as Guest25807 [06:27] lotuspsychje: its good to isolate out [06:28] lotuspsychje: also try Unity2D session (if you use unity) [06:30] ActionPa1snip: i agree on that one [06:31] ActionPa1snip: it tryed both 2d and 3d, but keeps booting corrupt mouse pointer once in a while (not every boot) [06:32] in ubuntu 11.10, how do you change the command of an application launcher? [06:32] lotuspsychje: i'd look at ram then [06:33] NoseWalrus: edit the file in /usr/share/applications [06:33] NoseWalrus: edit the Exec= line [06:33] ActionPalsnip thanks [06:33] ActionPa1snip: ill test it tnx [06:37] what X does xubuntu use? [06:37] ok can anyone help me recover my lost space on my usb drive [06:38] lotuspsychje: Xorg, like the others... [06:38] lotuspsychje: Xorg, like any other distro. If you mean the desktop environment, XFCE. [06:38] Glacia: lost space? Can you explain a bit more? [06:38] ok tnx [06:38] 16gb usb showing only 3.44gb of total space [06:39] Glacia: Hm, have you tried clearing the partition table and formatting it to a single partition? [06:39] Glacia: Helped me when I had something like that [06:39] Glacia: Just open up gparted, select the usb drive in the top right box, delete everything and create a single fat32 partition [06:40] well i used windows format and tried it it didnt work [06:40] I am running ubuntu 11.10 (they have never released a worse distro, too late now, though) and openbox. I am using gtk-chtheme and a few gnome utilities in an attempt to change themes. Very few programs register the chance: http://i40.tinypic.com/15wzcyx.png .... On the left I activated the theme, then proceeded to open the windows on the right to demonstrate the issue. If anyone could help me fix this I would be very greatful, it's so hi [06:40] deous :p [06:40] oh sorry about the comment, i was using it as a cookie cutter, from #debian and #linux [06:40] don't mean to be offensive [06:41] cipher__: the distro is still ubuntu..

[07:23] Emanon, you can remove and install what you want most of the time, and the open source area has a lot of choices. [07:24] Emanon, you could always just install a bare debian install and install what you want [07:24] i already have ubuntu installed. I'm trying to reinstall it. the installer refuses to see my HDD unless i'm in recovery mode. Any idea how to get past this? [07:24] I am aware I just wanted to know why the devs are picking such lacking programs to default to? [07:25] Groan, what are you trying to reinstall with? [07:25] I agree Emanon, I used love all the defaults, now I think twice before installing newer versions, I rarely have time for much customization anymore [07:25] I actually LIKE (nearly love) ubuntu I just dislike the direction it seems to be taking. [07:25] How do I install a gtk3 theme? [07:25] urlin2u: bootable usb oneiric server 64bit [07:25] Emanon, I think you would have to ask them, not everybody can be served. [07:25] Emanon, 7.04-10.04 was great [07:25] Emanon, part of it is a shift away from the desktop to using ubuntu on thiings like tablets, phones and car entertainment systems etc [07:25] Groan, where are you getting a recovery access at [07:26] it's becoming too restrictive. [07:26] There is no excuse for using empathy, it has NO security whatsoever and the empathy/telepathy devs seem to be actually intentionally denying many requests to put otr and such seriously important options into it. [07:26] urlin2u: through the installer, its an option before i pick "install ubuntu" [07:26] Groan, actually I'm not familiar with the server setup. [07:26] i doubt it's much different? [07:26] installing gtk3 anyone? [07:27] theme* [07:27] so basically the desktop is not their priority anymore? [07:27] Emanon : like urlin2u says opensource has lots of options, with many good packages [07:27] And why is moving to mobile devices a good reason to make things insecure? [07:27] Acme, http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/31/ubuntu-coming-to-tablets-phones-cars-and-smart-tvs-by-2014/ [07:27] Shouldn't devices with the potential to track us and such have even BETTER security? [07:27] sorry i crashed [07:28] Glacia: hope u have insurance :P [07:28] ha! [07:28] Especially given the rising threat of internet censorship worldwide. [07:28] !offtopic [07:28] #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! [07:28] we might recognize when these ideas are our own personal opinions and may not represent everybody Emanon and Acme [07:28] SOPA, PIPA, PC-IPA, ACTA and whatnot. [07:29] what doe sopa have to do with ubuntu [07:29] does [07:29] I just think ubuntu should continue it's awesome work by providing a SAFE platform for the future. [07:29] anywho... in my ubuntu installer does it matter what the installer size is? [07:29] One we can rely on to have the security of our data at the forefront. [07:29] Emanon, what you getting pwnd? [07:29] !ot | Emanon [07:29] Emanon: #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! [07:29] lol [07:30] ^ [07:30] Is there a #ubuntu-devs channel or something? [07:30] Emanon, it's not a support channel [07:30] Emanon, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [07:31] I'm not looking for support, I KNOW how to fiddle with it to make it do what I want I just want to know why that isn't the default? [07:31] Emanon, talking about sopa etc is not a support issue. lets move on [07:31] lotuspsychje, does the installation size matter when installing ubuntu? [07:32] Glacia, are you installing ubuntu now? [07:32] hey guys whats the best ubuntu release for a newbie to get started with [07:32] yes [07:32] ive never used linux before and want to check out what its capable of [07:32] Glacia:depends on what you want dualboot or single boot? [07:32] earlybirdd, download the latest livecd and run from that to try it out [07:33] single on a 16gb hdd [07:33] earlybirdd: there are only 2 releases of normal ubuntu atm Desktop and Alternate. [07:33] Try Desktop it's easier to jump into. [07:33] <[deXter]> O.o [07:33] what is the difference if you dont mind me asking briefly? [07:33] earlybirdd, the longterm is 10.04 11.10 the latest 12.04 the next long term, the best is what you think it is. [07:33] After updating using the new kernel to boot it just hangs at the ubuntu logo [07:33] Emanon: two as far as this channel is concerned, there is however more than that [07:33] Desktop is a live disk which means you can use it without installing just to test it out earlybirdd [07:33] Emanon, thats not correct. there is minimal as well [07:33] <[deXter]> Emanon, I'm sure earlybird meant Ubuntu v/s Kubuntu v/s Lubuntu etc [07:33] Oh pardon I forgot minimal you're right. [07:34] lotuspsychje, single boot on a 16gb HDD [07:34] Glacia: you could use the whole usb drive yes [07:34] Thats cool i plan on dual booting anyway so ill have this permanently [07:34] is there a way to make my installer see my fakeraid drives? [07:34] Alternate offers extra options such as RAID LVM and LUKS [07:35] Is it possible to say log out of windows and log into your dual booted linux partition via VNC? [07:35] lotuspsychje, but the question is if i dont want to would using the 3gb installation size be any better or worse than the 10gb size? [07:35] oh. so i have to use the alternate cd/ [07:35] Unless you need to use raid, lvm or full disk encryption I'd say use the desktop earlybirdd. [07:35] earlybirdd, no, but you could install windows in a Virtual Machine [07:35] It offers the most commonly used tasks without much in depth knowledge required. [07:36] earlybirdd , fo rthat you probably would need to run one session in a virtual machine [07:36] Glacia: size is your own choice to partition [07:36] You could even use a virtual machine to a physical drive so you could use the same windows install as a VM or actually boot into it directly. [07:36] lotuspsychje, so there is no difference between them? [07:36] AHh [07:36] I have a raid1 array defined in dmraid, if i completely wipe my system and install a new distro, will my raid disappear? [07:37] Glacia: if the install accept your size there's no difference [07:37] lotuspsychje, ok ty [07:37] I suppose loading linux in a VM in windows is a completley idiotic idea? [07:37] But if you plan to have both running simultaneously I'd warn you, ubuntu plays nicer in a VM than windows. [07:37] earlybirdd: not really [07:37] NO it isn't an idiotic idea earlybirdd [07:37] earlybirdd: depends [07:37] Ubuntu runs better as a vm on windows than windows does as a vm on ubuntu. [07:37] that's debatable [07:38] Sweet [07:38] In my experience that is. [07:38] oks question, I have dual boot, windows, ubuntu. Need to reinstall windows, what is the process to reconfigure the bootloader so I can access ubuntu again? [07:38] What im aiming to do is set up a Server in Ubuntu In Windows... [07:38] A FTP/HTTP server [07:38] I run windows in VMware in seamless mode on my linux laptop, I need the Windows install for tech support [07:38] runs fine [07:38] There will be a lot of overhead due to it being a VM but it's doable earlybirdd. [07:38] Emanon, thank you I find W7 much better in a vm then ubuntu ever has been, and I hardly ever use it [07:38] earlybirdd: you're going to have to look at how to get bridged networking allowable on the host then. [07:39] lol alotta emulation here [07:39] Yes windows RUNS just fine in VM you just can't do much with it. [07:39] Cant i remotely access the VM ? [07:39] The only things I need windows for it won't do in a vm properly. [07:39] Netflix and certain games. [07:39] earlybird uf it is not a critical app, or massive production system, living as a virtual machine should be fine [07:39] w00t [07:40] fair enough Emanon , but for 2D stuff it works for me [07:40] earlybirdd: you're obviously expecting other users on your network to access this "vm ubuntu server which is a ftp/http service" ? [07:40] Acme: is right though, what you want to do should work fine with a little effort. [07:40] yes, the virtual machine will have network ID if you configure it, so you can run VNCserver, ftp, sshserver, etc [07:40] sure it' really a personal thing but further down the track maybe? [07:40] xen + IOMMU way to go for simultanous Linux/m$$$$$ [07:40] without compromising m$$$$ dx11 [07:41] and from outside, you just access it as it was a real remote machine [07:41] earlybirdd: then by default virtualbox will provide your vm with NAT only networking, but you can change it to BRIDGED so that the vm exists on the same network as your host machine. [07:41] You can actually install each system as a bootable system then make both accessible from the other via a VM so you can boot into or run virtualized either side of your dual boot. [07:41] It's a little more complicated but it offers some distinct advantages to VM or dualboot alone. === jack is now known as Guest97061 [07:42] I see [07:42] yeah, I work in a similar setup, corporate windows hosting virtual machine ubuntu, with virtualbox, I never spend much time on network setup so I access it by ip [07:42] earlybirdd: this is a setting in the virtualbox vm settings under networking, its a drop down menu with a few options. [07:42] with vnc, ssh [07:42] That sounds pretty clever... [07:43] Acme: i'm using archipel to drive libvirtd now, virtualbox headless is kinds subpar for server vm hosting [07:43] so the Virtual Machine is based on the Dual booted OS? [07:43] and visa versa? [07:43] Well the virtual machine IS the dual booted os. [07:43] ya [07:43] You just run the dual boot drive in the VM rather than making a VM separately. [07:43] Great...i thought it would be two different instances [07:43] Nope same instance. [07:43] earlybirdd: you run windows, install virtualbox, create a vm, tell it to boot from a ubuntu livecd ISO file and then you have it running inside windows [07:43] I have read some about the headless mode, I have not tried, but yeah if is only for remote access that is better [07:44] in my case, while in office I access it directly, when at home, by vnc [07:44] Acme: there is phpvirtualbox available to manage it [07:44] cool, I will try to read about it, tnks [07:44] Acme: which is exactly the same provisions as the desktop gui configuration application [07:44] Or you tell virtualbox on windows to use your ubuntu drive as it's drive and tell virt-manager on ubuntu to use windows' drive. [07:45] It's a little bit of a pita in virtualbox but dead simple in virt-manager. [07:45] !info phpvirtualbox [07:45] Package phpvirtualbox does not exist in oneiric [07:45] lotuspsychje: it's not official nor in the repo [07:45] hello everybody I got a sony bluetooth headset, bluetooth hardware of my notebook paired headset so well but I can configure it like headphones [07:45] airtonix: ok tnx [07:46] the model is sony dr-bt22a [07:47] brb. [07:47] ariasbeep, you need to find out if it (headphones) support the headphone profile, they may only support the headset profile [07:47] hiddensoul, and I do that with? [07:47] Hey a question...what are some benefits of Ubuntu? Anyone mind pointing out? I dont get how so many people can use an OS .....say compared to windows..maybe theres a site which explains the flaws /benefits of each? [07:47] Jan 21 23:46:58 ubuntu-SD kernel: [65590.108105] usb 2-2: new full speed USB device number 126 using ohci_hcd [07:47] Jan 21 23:46:58 ubuntu-SD kernel: [65590.334170] scsi11 : usb-storage 2-2:1.0 [07:47] Maybe there are a few applications I'm missing out on? [07:47] but it doesn't show up in fdisk -l [07:48] ariasbeep, by reading the manual that came with the headphones [07:48] earlybirdd: easy,safe,never crashes [07:49] earlybirdd, my ubuntu server has been up for 12 and a half months with no reboot, that is one reason [07:49] hiddensoul, but it works so well with Ipod touch, windows 7 and htc incredible, and I did read somebody in a forum who said it worked on his mini laptop [07:49] hiddensoul: any reason why my server slows down after a few months? [07:49] hiddensoul: server vs workstation are two different stories. i think he's asking from an enduser workstation perspective [07:49] hiddensoul: reboot fixes it [07:50] earlybirdd: care to clarify? [07:50] cis, cool :) [07:50] earlybirdd: i installed ubuntu for older friends too, they never been able to crash their machine [07:50] hiddensoul, the headphones appeared on my notebook's bluetooth scanner [07:50] pp7, maybe something is having a go at the ram, memory leak somewhere ? [07:51] hmm [07:51] hiddensoul: naa i checks and ram was fine, seemed to be disk io related [07:51] checked* [07:51] ariasbeep, I dont have any bluetooth headsets to play with so I cant really help much more then that. [07:52] hiddensoul, ok [07:52] how to set mountpoint to ext4 partition? [07:52] mozammel, when? [07:52] where is the kernel config file? [07:53] bbl breakfast [07:53] anybody here knows how to configure a bluetooth headset to received sound of notebook? [07:53] dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure): [07:53] dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [07:53] after installation [07:53] I'm back, please hold your applause. [07:53] ok [07:53] wb Emanon [07:54] mozammel, what is the goal here in the end? [07:54] I am able to have blueman discover and successfully connect with the headphones but music will only play on the built in speaker [07:54] Right click on the volume icon in your bar ariasbeep select "Sound Settings" [07:54] ariasbeep, have you had a look in system-preferences-sound to see if it there as a sound device after you have paired it ? [07:54] ariasbeep: select the "Output" tab. Select your headset. [07:55] hiddensoul, Emanon, I tried that...long time ago xD [07:55] Pseudoephedrine "sudo apt-get build-dep" [07:56] Sorry just came back from getting REAL IM, Email, and media players [07:56] earlybird, about your question on benefits of ubuntu [07:57] Linux is based on Unix, it gives it a lot of differences with windows, but [07:57] hi [07:57] But also a lot of advantages. [07:58] in practical terms at least for me, I love the bash capabilities, windows can;t just compete with bash [07:58] Chipzzz: E: Must specify at least one package to check builddeps for [07:58] Such as userspace separation from the main bulk of the system and from other users to prevent cross contamination in the event of some security breach. [07:58] I have to second that Acme I love bash and ssh is so much quicker then vnc [07:58] alright, you're starting to wander a bit far from the topic of the channel which isn't comparison of different operating systems or even linux distributions [07:58] now, after a while developing software, you notice some filesystem operations just seem to be much faster on linux [07:58] The command line kicks windows butt. [07:58] bi!! [07:59] Psuedoephedrine: add the package you were trying to install to the end of the line [07:59] urlin2u: i just intall ubunt 11.10, i have 3 other ext4 partition, i want it permanetly, though its automount when i click on it. i just want to set a custom mountpoin [07:59] Big name games are a bit lacking as is support for some moneygrubbing services like netflix. [07:59] oks oks, I was just anwering earlybird === wolf is now known as Guest59050 [07:59] mozammel, sorry I don't understand that. [08:00] to finalize, it depends on what you use the computer for, for some people uses it maybe it does not matter what the use, for some uses, it may be critical [08:00] where is the cgit? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam%2FKernelGitGuide [08:00] Precisely. [08:00] I [08:00] mozammel: if you want it permanently mounted you have to add it to your /etc/fstab [08:00] 'm just trying to see the ubuntu kernel [08:00] 's config [08:01] and you bimbos didn't turn on tproc/config.gz [08:01] hi! [08:01] oks my question again, dual both Windows/ubuntu, I need to reinstall windows, how do I restore the bootloader? [08:01] こんにちは [08:01] !grub > Acme [08:01] Acme, please see my private message [08:01] Windows or ubuntu bootloader? [08:02] Or just listen to urlin2u's ubottu forward. [08:02] Chipzzz: Ok, all of that seemed to go alright. Does that mean mysql-server mysql-client are both installed now? [08:02] anybody here knows how to configure a bluetooth headset to received sound of notebook? [08:02] ! cn > kenta [08:02] kenta, please see my private message [08:02] I am able to have blueman discover and successfully connect with the headphones but music will only play on the built in speaker [08:02] Pseudoephedrine: hopefully [08:02] !jp > kenta [08:03] yes [08:03] oks thanks I got a link from the bot, thanks [08:03] That was chinese? I thoght it was japanese too lol. [08:03] cis well i just wanted to know how why so many people use it? especially nerds? is there some sort of package system that I dont get...or is windows that much of a fuck up? [08:03] I wasn't sure [08:03] Chipzzz: How would i know? [08:03] kenta: こんにちは ? [08:03] urlin2u: I always do a whois on the commandline for the ip [08:03] earlybirdd: A little of both. [08:03] Myrtti, that makes sense [08:03] :D [08:03] urlin2u: country: JP [08:03] It's a bit of nerd cred to use a nonstandard OS but also windows has some longstanding issues some of us can't stand. [08:03] Pseudoephedrine: try "sudo apt-get check" and see if it complains about anything [08:04] is this not japanese commnity? [08:04] !zh > kenta [08:04] kenta, please see my private message [08:04] kenta: no [08:04] xD [08:04] kenta: : this is the english one, read !jp [08:04] Need Help. I installed Ubuntu so that it wouldn't delete windows. I have been using Ubuntu for 5 days now and decided to boot windowsXP. All I get is a blank screen. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! [08:04] !jp | kenta [08:04] kenta: 日本語の場合は /join #ubuntu-jp または /join #kubuntu-jp を入力して下さい。 [08:04] Chipzzz: No problems, Thanks [08:04] :) [08:04] thank you!! [08:05] kenta: are you blind, CHECK YOUR PMs [08:05] Zujamulex: tsk, be nice [08:05] michael__: Does windows show up as an option when you boot the computer? Underneath Ubuntu on some sort of selection screen? [08:05] michael__: hmm, it does [08:06] Yes. WindowsXP shows up as a boot option [08:06] does it show anything? [08:06] and u can select it? [08:06] And when you select it nothing happens? [08:06] When selected, i get a black screen [08:06] michael__, did you resize the XP before installing and make sure it worked? [08:07] I kept the disk partition at default when i installed ubuntu [08:07] 20GB for Ubuntu and 48GB for XP [08:08] michael__, have you run a update-grub? [08:08] hello i am trying to install ubuntu 11.10 along side windows but when i use the install its trying to install on the wrong partition or w.e there is a 41.1mb a 12.3gb and a 307.7 gb one and it is installing on the 12.3 how do i make it install on the 307 so i can acolate space to split it into 170 windows 7 and 130 ubuntu 11.10 [08:08] i don't think so [08:08] Would there be security flaws via windows If i setup Ubuntu in a VM with a web server? [08:08] is there a flag to remove the menubar on gnome-terminal? [08:08] No more than normal earlybirdd. [08:08] michael__, try in the terminal sudo update-grub [08:08] the radio button doesn't work [08:09] hey guys im trying to install ubuntu 11.10 onto an hp dv2000 and if my screen turns off I cannot get it to come on again. Also after install if the screen ever turns off I cannot get it to turn on again. Is there a fix for this? [08:09] danny, you need to use the something other the custom install. [08:09] spartan7, try acpi=noirq [08:09] on the boot options [08:09] @ Urlin2u finished [08:09] michael__, try rebooting and see if XP boots [08:09] press f6, then exit, then after the two dashes "--" type that, hit enter. [08:10] cipher__: right click in the terminal and uncheck "Show Menu Bar" [08:10] spartan7: same here, monitor Out of Range! [08:10] Emanon, it's a well documented bug, doesn't work in ubuntu 11.10 [08:10] ok, ill rejoin chat room if problem continues [08:10] urlin2u, well there is the advanced partioning but idk how to use it and its my friends computer and i dont wanna delete anything that doesnt have to be deleted [08:10] Emanon, infact there are all kinds of gui issues [08:10] Oh pardon. [08:10] cipher__: is that at grub before install? [08:10] That's actually one bug I've never seen. [08:10] sorry I didn't mean to come off abrasive [08:10] It's ok bud. [08:11] spartan7: it only shows up after booting, when display changes [08:11] spartan7, are you trying to use the livecd, or did you install [08:11] I didn't think you had. [08:11] ha okay [08:11] Zujamulex: I dont even get that. everything is fine until the screen turns of for whatever reason. [08:11] cipher__: both [08:11] danny, you can use the custom install click the partition you want, has to be a ext4 hit change then activate it put ? in the mount and install. [08:11] well in grub hit e. then after you see the word quite add this with a space beforehand: acpi=noirq [08:12] spartan7: after POST is fine? [08:12] spartan7: do you see grub? [08:12] spartan7: i cannot even see grub [08:13] Zujamulex: I see grub. I can see everything but if the screen goes off I need to do a hard reset [08:13] danny, sorry mount is / [08:13] earlybirdd: i personally prefer *nix OS because they are designed in a much saner manner and generally conform to logic more closely. Aside from that, OOB *nix has a much more feature rich and powerful tool set that i like having at my fingertips. [08:13] spartan7: when grub appears, there's where i start seeing Out of Range, it comes back when it finished kernel boot and it changed the resolution [08:13] cipher__: will try [08:13] good luck [08:13] urlin2u, well the partition that has windows on it is /dev/sda3 ntfs and that is the one i want to put half and half and if i do what u said its not gonna erase windows right ? [08:13] why Ubuntu switched from openoffice to libreoffic? [08:13] spartan7, [08:13] earlybirdd: Whereas I value it due to a greater range of options to maintain security. [08:13] after you add it hit f10 [08:13] that will continue with the amendment [08:14] cipher__: yea? do I need to do this everytie I bootup [08:14] share, i like libre better and theres prolly other ppl like me out there [08:14] you can make it persistent if it works [08:14] so no [08:14] assuming it works [08:14] but each of us "nerds" will have our own reasons i'm sure. [08:14] I am just guessing tbh [08:14] share, very easy to swicth back to open if u are different [08:14] <[deXter]> share, Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#Initial_release [08:14] share: I think it was due to libre maintaining complete open source whereas openoffice got bought back a little. [08:14] Though I could be wrong. [08:14] spartan7.... [08:14] Hello, Problem continues to persist [08:14] danny, you need to shrink the ntfs and make a ext4, and be aware of the limitations of the amount of partitions you can have, can you run sudo fdisk -l in the ubuntu terminal and post the output [08:15] Zujamulex: yea? === michael is now known as Guest68631 [08:15] To be honest I'm a geek not a nerd ;-) [08:15] Emanon: ok tks :) [08:15] np share. [08:15] urlin2u, im useing a cd i think so ? ill try right now [08:15] Geek by nature, linux by choice [08:15] Sorry, accidentally logged in as Guest. I was michael_ [08:15] spartan7: just, [08:16] problem still persists urlin2u [08:16] spartan7: any idea about this boot monitorstuff? [08:16] Linux by lack of choice. There's just no other way (save BSD) to get the kind of options linux offers. [08:16] urlin2u, actully no i cant comp doesnt have internet [08:16] I still get a blank screen [08:16] And BSD has always been a painfor me. [08:16] Emanon, yeah same here, allthough my web/file server runs BSD [08:17] @ urln2u brb visitors [08:17] Zujamulex: is it also a dv2000? [08:17] It IS the better option but it's a little TOO UNIXy for me. [08:17] Guest68105, we have a script we use to show whats is where paste3bin the results.text http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [08:17] I am running ubuntu 11.10 and openbox. I am using gtk-chtheme (i also tried changing options through gnome-tweak-tool, and gconf-editor, by manually editing the theme value) and a few gnome utilities in an attempt to change themes. Very few programs register the chance: http://i40.tinypic.com/15wzcyx.png .... On the left I activated the theme, then proceeded to open the windows on the right to demonstrate the issue. If anyone could help [08:17] me fix this I would be very greatful. I have been trying to fix it for many hours. [08:17] I've been really wanting to switch to openbsd for a while but I just don't have the stones.

[08:18] spartan7: yes, it shows post fine [08:18] spartan7: OofR starts right when disk boots [08:19] if anyone want to try and team view into my laptop and take a look, i would appreciate it, plus think of all the nefarious things you could try :p [08:19] Most of us are fairly benign actually. [08:19] Hi how can I determine the source repository of a package [08:19] spartan7, and? [08:20] joeko: use synaptic columns [08:20] Emanon, feel like lurking through my computer [08:20] Won't find many nefarious people in the ubuntu helpchannel I fear. [08:20] Zujamulex, thanks [08:21] oks other question, after I ugraded to 11.10, I kept using gnome but I dont have all those fancy 3d desktop effects, and I have not have luck enabling them again, any link I could read? [08:21] I mean it's not like we're in a backtrack channel. ;-) [08:21] technoviking: http://tinyurl.com/4o5nvxh [08:21] Zujamulex: thinking. [08:21] Technoviking is the shiz. [08:22] cipher__, that sounds like work, where do I send the invoice to ? [08:22] Zujamulex: wierd you dont even get to grub. [08:23] BTW what ever happened to the pretty grub screens ubuntu used to have? [08:23] hiddensoul, you can contact us at Central Intelligence Agency, Office of Public Affairs, Washington, D.C. 20505 [08:24] lol cipher__ [08:24] It used to fit the theme but with the recent releases it looks like I'm booting up a commodore 64 [08:24] Emanon, my first PC was an SX64 now that was portable (NOT) [08:24] My computers theme as well looks archaic now that 11.10 was installed [08:24] First one for me was C128. [08:24] spartan7: nope, looks like it passes grub, and kernel stage too, when it shows up again it's the moment where the kernel finised changing display resolution [08:25] and i have dx2200 [08:25] so closer [08:28] Is it weird that this early alpha live disk of 12.04 is more stable than 11.10? [08:28] I hate 11.10 [08:28] suitable answer [08:28] So it's not just me? [08:29] mm I have the same impression, 11.10 not as good as previous releases [08:29] * lotuspsychje likes ocelot [08:29] Oh man I have 33 gigs of ebooks to organize. [08:30] Acme, its hardly any differnt the natty just upgraded app. [08:30] Emanon, I know that feeling, I have 2TB in the file server and I need to reorganise it soon so I can upgrade the harddrive, we are running out of room [08:30] are there any good tools for detecting and converting encoding/charsets of textfiles? [08:31] 2tb of ebooks or just data in general? [08:31] I like calibre, [08:31] Emanon, data in general about 25GB ebooks [08:31] i just installed fancontrol but it seems it doesnt support reading the temp value from an arbitrary user defined source (like say an independant binary) but only from devices/platform/w83627hf (in my case of course) [08:31] It works great for tagging and converting ebooks. [08:32] I just wish people would stop making new software to do the same thing and just work on one program for each task. [08:32] anyone knows how i can deal with it? maybe making a fake device like the above that will execute a binary behind the scenes? where should i look at? [08:32] Make one good program instead of 20k crappy ones, [08:33] I lost compiz functionality on 11.10, and my UI gets frozen often, that did not happen before [08:33] Acme, you tweak compiz? [08:33] Zujamulex: the acpi didnt work. it loads grub and then get a black screen. I can hear the music play though so I know it finished loading :( [08:33] Acme: there are good tuts for compiz on unity [08:34] of course, it's compiz [08:34] does anybody can help me?

I was able to get the installation going and successfully finishing with custom boot options (acpi=copy_dsdt, xforcevesa, nomodeset, vga=0). But when starting after the installation (with the same custom boot options), I am only getting to 'checking battery state' and then it hangs. And when sending the SIGTERM signal, it tells me 'acpi exiti [09:48] ng' and shuts down. Is anybody here who could give me a clue on what to try?

[10:25] I can't get dmesg to show that it's recognized. [10:25] I don't want to upgrade to 11.04 since Unity is implemented there. [10:25] Who can help me? [10:25] This is in a laptop. [10:25] qwelegen: no, and that doesn't make a heap of sense, gwibber just uses whatever networking you have available [10:26] Some info about the adapter please Umeaboy [10:26] It's made by Sandisk. [10:26] Umeaboy you could try a different kernel, there are packages built by the kernel team [10:26] linus-kernel? [10:26] Umeaboy: what is it? a disk or something? [10:27] AlanBett: Gwibber displays posts but I can't post anything, can't reply or create new post. it seems the text function is disabled [10:27] Umeaboy: does lsusb show it? [10:27] It helps you mount a SD-card in your computer using that slot. [10:27] Nope. [10:27] dmesg won't see it either. [10:27] AlanBell: Gwibber displays posts but I can't post anything, can't reply or create new post. it seems the text function is disabled [10:27] Umeaboy: so it is an SD card adapter, that shouldn't need any special drivers [10:28] Right. [10:28] I know it works fine in older kernels in other distros because I have tried it. [10:28] Umeaboy: you have plugged it in and put a card in and nothing happens? [10:28] Yes. === pksadiq` is now known as pksadiq [10:29] qwelegen: ah, right, gwibber is asking networkmanager about the network status and networkmanager says it is down [10:29] this used to happen with mobile broadband stuff === arand_ is now known as arand [10:30] AlanBell: Is there a Fix [10:30] Umeaboy you could potentially try a newer kernel https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [10:30] qwelegen: dunno, in firefox you can take it out of offline mode manually, not sure about gwibber [10:31] Umeaboy: is there something wierd about the SD card adapter, they normally just work [10:31] !games [10:31] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [10:31] AlanBell:Don't see that option, it is there in empathy but can't locate this option on gwibber [10:32] wget [10:32] quit [10:32] Umeaboy: maybe the card is unformatted or corrupted... try seeing if fdisk, disk manager, or gparted sees it [10:33] add a / /quit [10:33] Chipzzz: Well, it worked a while ago in my Tab. [10:33] Yes, I know. Typo. [10:37] Umeaboy: did you unplug it without "safely removing" or unmounting it? [10:37] howto fix a corrupt mouse pointer on an older laptop? [10:38] AlanBell: A fix is underway for 884671 right? [10:39] No. I shutdown my Tab. [10:39] Umeaboy: which tab? [10:40] Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000. [10:40] Why? [10:40] Umeaboy: Ah... I thought you meant a tab in nautilus or something... [10:40] hello [10:40] Nope. [10:41] I wrote Tab. Not tab. [10:41] See the difference? ;) [10:41] oO [10:41] Tab for me explains the short word for Tablet. [10:41] tab means something related to windows. [10:41] what has galaxy tab to do with ubuntu? [10:42] He asked. [10:42] ;) [10:42] He missunderstood what I meant. [10:42] if you meant Tab, it has no point discussing it here [10:42] Umeaboy: lol... my bad... did you look in disk manager or something to see if it is recognized there? [10:42] No problemo anyhow. ;) [10:43] I've checked in fdisk, df -T, gparted. [10:43] Nothing. [10:43] Does it show up in lsusb? [10:43] lotuspsychje: Yes, I moved the SD-card from my Tablet. [10:44] Chipzzz: Nope. Just the card-reader itself. [10:44] I wonder why Realtek makes SD-card readers as well. [10:44] I'm so used to them making Ethernet-cards. [10:44] buon giorno!

Thanks [10:57] lotuspsychje: You can see here that the SD-card mounts fine in my Tablet: http://pastebin.com/nUD0embX [10:57] So there must be an issue somewhere in Ubuntu. [10:58] Which version of udev does Ubuntu use? [10:58] Perhaps it's an issue in udev. [10:58] Umeaboy: your sd slot in the ubuntu pc, you got the driver properly installed? [10:58] lotuspsychje: I'm not sure, but I think so yes. [10:59] farrukhjon: if i understand the question, i think you'll find that the key bindings are different between Unity & Gnome. They can be changed in both shells, though [10:59] and how set Auto-hide for Window Menu (up of bar) in Unity [10:59] Otherwise I wouldn't see the card reader in lsusb, right? [10:59] farrukhjon: do you have ccsm?

[11:00] Here's my output for lsusb: http://pastebin.com/2r1K8d3Z [11:00] farrukhjon: if it can be hidden, you should find the setting in there.

[11:09] Hi [11:09] I installed Lazarus, but when I open it or open a project. lpi I got errors [11:09] the problem is due to not installing some components [11:09] lotuspsychje: PATA, ata toshiba mk2035gss [11:09] Install them then. [11:09] I downloaded bgrabitmap and I ran the steps to install the .lpk file in the package [11:10] I've compiled through its lazarus window reached by one of its menu, but after it completed the installation of the component it has failed and an error box appeared [11:10] And what does it say? [11:11] The popup window says: 'The package bgrabitmappack does not have any "Register" procedure, which typically means, it does not provide any IDE addon. Installing it will probably only increase the size of the IDE and may even make it unstable.

[11:44] oh. [11:44] ok [11:44] hi, i use ubuntu 10.04 and it's default open office 3.2.0 Currently i a writing on some important stuff (timepressure included) but there are some bugs in office that slow down my work. Would you advise me to download LibreOffice 3.4.5 and keep on working with libre office? or will it mess up my files or "overwrite" my open office? [11:44] those who have tried to install Ubuntu on a Toshiba AC100? [11:45] Chipzzz: there is one network i need to access and it has mac filtering [11:45] ryannathans: there is no intel 64 bit here: http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/releases/11.10/ [11:45] Benkinooby backup all your files first, after that its safe to install others [11:46] cameron: there is no such thing as intel64 [11:46] cameron: http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/releases/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso is what you are looking for [11:46] cameron: amd64 just means 64bit, which your processor can do. [11:46] but i have an intel i5 processor? [11:46] ok [11:46] cameron: it's titled amd64 because amd invented it [11:46] oh [11:46] ok thanks [11:46] lotuspsychje, i don't have the chance to backup now... so i'll not take the risk and stay with open office. thank you [11:46] cameron: just like 32bit is x86 [11:47] yeha, why is 32 bit x86? [11:47] and 64 bit x64? [11:47] cameron: x86 is the arch [11:47] oh [11:47] ok [11:47] cameron: ARM is the arch for most mobile devices, for example. [11:48] ok [11:48] btw, when ubuntu will include its OS on mobile devices? [11:48] wonderland64bits: now. [11:48] wonderland64bits: Since 12.10 if I recall right [11:49] fosa_: the history command will show your recent commands. Use history > myhistory.txt to redirect the output to a file called myhistory.txt [11:49] theadmin: orly? I had ubuntu 9 working on my mobile phone, it's ARM [11:49] theadmin: really? that would be cool [11:49] oCean, ahhh perfect thank you very much :) [11:49] ryannathans: dunno... i think some software has mac spoofing built in but this isn't the channel to discuss that kind of software ;) [11:49] ryannathans: (s)he's refering to Ubuntu Liquid. [11:49] but i mean to make contracts with mobile enterprises [11:49] Chipzzz: software like macchanger? [11:50] fosa_: welcom! Remember that, if you want to _add_ more history, then use history >> myhistory.txt [11:50] theadmin: I see [11:50] cause i am sick of android java programming [11:50] i want C!

[11:51] ubuntu mobile will be C too, right? [11:51] should be windows or gates [11:52] Question is it possible to run graphical programs in any other tty then tty 7 [11:52] I assume that is what you call them [11:53] hi all, should a laptop last longer if i set 0.80Ghz or Powersave ? [11:53] good morning [11:53] is_null: laptop or battery? [11:53] pksadiq: If you do this, you'll end up with redundant entries, well it depends on when you run the commands. Default HISTSIZE is 1000 I think.. but once you're beyond those, you can save again :) [11:54] ryannathans: battery i guess [11:54] is_null, I would guess powersave [11:54] is_null: assuming default cpu clock is over 0.8 ghz, etc. [11:54] is_null: yes [11:54] ryannathans: i was thinking more like metasploit or something in that category... i haven't looked into it deeply but i think it can be done independently of the wireless card [11:55] Chipzzz: I'm aware of that kind of stuff, I can hack any residentual security wifi network [11:55] Chipzzz: and i'm still stuck ;d [11:55] thanks for the hints [11:55] is_null, you know to lower the screen brightness? [11:55] yes [11:55] is_null: that would be hellishly slow [11:55] is_null: 0.8ghz [11:55] i just do ssh [11:55] ryannathans: *shrugs* then you're more knowledgable on the subject than i :) [11:55] is_null: thats fine then [11:55] Chipzzz: hehe ;D [11:56] 0.8 should give more time than powersave ? [11:56] is_null: I would assume so [11:56] thanks for the heads up [11:56] Also it might not be worth putting on the lowest frequency because it may take longer to do the job and use more power because of that [11:56] is_null: i'd have my brightness down too if I were concerned about battery [11:56] but powersave should use the lowest frequency anyway [11:56] that's also possible [11:57] either way it's better than using nothing [11:57] What kind of laptop do you have is_null [11:58] Can anyone assist with a bug?

[13:00] meerkats: in /etc/apt...? :P [13:00] meerkats: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [13:00] dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process [13:00] LjL: what exactly does this command show???? ps aux | grep apt\|dpkg [13:00] thanks for the command LjL [13:00] meerkats: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [13:00] hello is this help for ubuntu? [13:00] mintman: it should show every running process with a command line that contains the words "apt" or "dpkg" [13:01] Guest92294: yes. be patient and if no one replies, ask your question again later. [13:01] !mac [13:01] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [13:01] LjL: ok thats a new terminal command for me thanks... [13:01] Calinou: even after doing sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock? [13:02] !macaddress [13:02] naw [13:02] works, now [13:04] what is the opposite of alt-tab? [13:04] in unity [13:04] shift-alt-tab...? [13:05] LjL: u couldnt simply reboot to stop locked dpkg package? [13:05] mintman: i don't think so [13:06] LjL: can u suggest what I can read to understand the process of the dpkg package?? [13:06] mintman: not sure what you mean === damno_ is now known as debd === Mud is now known as Guest87904 [13:07] mintman: man and wiki? [13:07] LjL: never mind did a manpage to understand what the accornim stands for with dpkg [13:08] Is it possible that a DVD could play half successfully and then at some point need additional codecs to continue? [13:09] I can't boot after my laptop ran out of juice ... the error = "Could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority" [13:10] AFD: can you reach a shell? [13:10] LjL: thought we were to call a purge or a remove package to elimanate package problems?? why would the database lock? [13:10] ctrl+alt+F2 [13:10] yeah [13:10] mintman: dpkg lock has nothing to do with purging or removing. dpkg lock is when dpkg is running, to stop other dpkg instances from running. if dpkg crashes, the lock stays. [13:11] LjL: got u had this problem yrs ago with ubuntu [13:11] LjL: I read online to remove the ICEauthority file but when I try it says there isn't one [13:13] AFD, are you trying to remove ICE authority or .ICEauthority [13:13] .ICEauthority but as I say it doesn't seem to exist [13:14] AFD: shooting a bit in the dark here, but what does "ls -l ~/.ICEauthority" say? [13:14] LjL: "No such file or directory" [13:15] my /home/ is excrypted - this might be why(?) === debd is now known as debdj [13:16] I haven't seen soom of these problems except dating back to ubuntu 8.10. I wonder with all these changes in gnome2 to gnome 3 and unity are causing conflicts. :( [13:16] soom = some [13:17] AFD: dunno, but that file should exist. i'm trying to find out how to regenerate it now. [13:17] LjL: thanks for the help [13:19] ryannathans: how can i install the alternate version on a usb stick? [13:19] !usb | Cameron [13:19] Cameron: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:19] !alternate | Cameron [13:19] Cameron: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [13:20] LjL: I can see my home folder ok using ls... the last time I got to a desktop I had the same error and couldn't see the /home [13:20] auronandace and yeats, i have downloaded the alternate version but im using the universal usb installer and it's not finding the iso [13:20] AFD: shooting even more in the dark, but try installing the package "gnome-session" [13:21] Cameron: what do you mean "not finding"? [13:22] LjL: says it's already the newest version... also I can't reach the network [13:22] LjL: I might just hook up an exernal hdd and get my home folder backed up [13:22] AFD: well, the issue *should* get solved if you make a new user [13:22] LjL: then if I can't salvage things as they are I can reinstall [13:22] YEATS: i changed the name to -desktop and it worked fine [13:22] AFD: so you could make a new user and then copy over everything from the old user's home directory [13:23] Cameron: good [13:23] LjL: I can't use sudo either - it says "/etc/sudoers is owner by uid 1000, should be 0" [13:23] LjL: ok - I'll try making a new user [13:23] AFD: wut, something is seriously messed up here then... [13:24] AFD: does "ls -l /etc/sudoers" actually show you own it? [13:24] LjL: can't add a user without root [13:24] AFD: no you can't [13:24] LjL: yeah I own that [13:24] but it's read only [13:24] owner and group [13:25] AFD: ok you need to reboot into recovery mode or whatever it's called these days (can always add "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel's command line), then you'll have root, and from there you can "chown root:root /etc/sudoers" [13:25] AFD: however, i think these multiple symptoms are showing there might be something *quite* wrong with your install, so... :\ [13:26] ouch [13:26] ok [13:26] thanks again- I'm going to make the backup then reinstall just so I have a clean system [13:26] AFD: yes, i would probably do that [13:27] why is the name "ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso" ? isnt it comfusing since it also works for intel ? [13:27] stavrosLinux: "AMD64" is the generic name for the 64-bit architecture in these processors [13:28] LjL: should my external drive appear in /mnt ? [13:28] AFD: /media, generally === debd is now known as debdj [13:29] LjL what about x86-64 or intel-64? [13:29] AFD: but without your DE running, it might not show up automatically, in that case mount it manually [13:29] stavrosLinux: wasn't it as confusing for things to be called "Intel" when they also worked for AMD? :P it's just that this time, AMD won the architectures battle. [13:29] LjL: can I force a mount without sudo? [13:29] AFD: unsure, depends on your user's permissions, try [13:30] LjL: no :( [13:30] can't fdisk [13:30] AFD: fdisk you can't for sure [13:30] AFD: you could again reboot into recovery, but i'm not sure if you can access your encrypted home from there...? [13:32] LjL: I have an ssd in this machine that will probably be sdb1 right (?) so the external drive would be sdb2...? [13:32] AFD: no [13:32] I can't see it using fdisk so I'm trying to guess [13:32] AFD: those are partitions, not drives [13:33] AFD: if the ssd is sdb, then the external drive might or might not be sdc [13:33] AFD: (though when you try mounting you do need to mount the partition, so sdc1 or something) [13:33] LjL: ok - I'm gonna guess to try mounting it [13:34] "only root can do that" :( [13:35] I won't be able to alter the sudoers file without root either right? [13:35] AFD: no, you won't [13:35] is this the place for Ubuntu? [13:35] AFD: only option left seems to go into recovery really [13:35] middd: yes [13:35] LjL: I'll try that... [13:36] AFD: again though i don't remember how to access recovery mode in recent versions, so if there's no entry in GRUB or stuff, just edit the kernel's command line and add "init=/bin/bash", then it should drop you into a root shell [13:37] AFD: LjL, for grub2 press to access grubmenu [13:37] I might live boot as I can't seem to get in to recovery [13:37] live boot and create a new user [13:38] AFD: i wouldn't know how to do that from a live cd myself. [13:38] AFD: why can't you get in recovery mode? [13:38] the ubuntu wiki says to hit escape to get in to recovery mode [13:38] but no option is given [13:39] AFD: that's old grub, grub2 uses [13:39] Any good photo editors for Ubuntu.. Maybe not with as many features as photoshop, but something i can change/add layers, change hue colors ect.. [13:39] ;) thanks [13:39] Pseudoephedrine: GIMP, Krita [13:39] stavrosLinux: it's basically historic. ia64 was given to itanium processors before there was an x86-64. AMD had the first x86-64bit processors, and the name kinda stuck as AMD64 to differentiate between itanium. [13:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_therapy [13:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_therapy [13:40] chim_chim: ? [13:40] Chris_0076: err? [13:40] chim_chim even [13:42] LjL: thanks [13:43] ssta Ι understand, but I believe it should be clearer [13:44] stavrosLinux: lots of stuff should be clearer. If you change the name now after this long, lots of stuff will be less clear [13:45] stavrosLinux: amd basically "invented" the 64bit architecture for the x86 line of chips (or at least were the fist to have one), I don't think it's wrong to reflect that in the name [13:45] ryannathans: that didnt work [13:46] yeats: it didnt work [13:46] uh [13:46] maybe the AMD64 discussion should be moved to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:46] it booted but then when i click run from usb/install it just refreshed the screen [13:47] will a dbus session address socket in /var/tmp/ be re-created on restart if i delete it [13:48] aademarco: should be. /tmp and /var/tmp aren't expected to survive a reboot [13:48] perfect tysm [13:48] LjL I stop here, thanks alot [13:48] vous pouvez tu me dire si ilfo configurer xubuntu pour p3 [13:48] aademarco: any application that depends on the data being there after a reboot is buggy, and should have a bug filed [13:48] gargh ill just use a disc [13:48] !fr | francois_ [13:48] francois_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

I've created a 4TB ISCI target. On an Ubuntu machine, I point at the target, initiate, and fdisk. fdisk shows 4TB. Great. I partition as 83, then format ext4. upon completion, Ubuntu shows 1.9TB free, not 4TB. [13:49] well im in a bit of a reverse situation. I have a stale file there do to a crash installing Xorg, so gconf is unable to connect to my network session due to 'stale NFS locks' so the problem is that it DID survive :) [13:49] i think [13:50] allballs: what does fdisk say afterwards [13:50] 4TB. [13:51] partition size? [13:51] Disk /dev/sdd: 4398.0 GB, 4398046511104 bytes [13:51] wait a second... hmm. [13:51] Cameron: did you boot from the USB or from your hard disk? [13:52] DOH. That's the disk size... partition 1 is 2TB. wtf? [13:52] Cameron: are you trying to install from inside windows? (wubi)? [13:52] fdisk can't create a partition larger than 2tb?? [13:52] allballs: dunno, i usually use parted [13:53] Ben64: I'll give parted a shot, then. [13:53] allballs thats a good question ive never had more than 1tb [13:53] but 2TB has been the largest I've made so far [13:53] hard drive prices are still very high [13:54] allballs: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/fdisk-unable-to-create-partition-greater-2tb.html [13:54] allballs: if it's partitioned as MBR, it can't be more than 2TB, i think, although i don't know about fdisk [13:54] Is there a way to easily create desktop icons? [13:54] in 11.10 [13:54] ssta: I'm reading that page right now, actually. [13:54] Thanks, all. I'm on target for a fix.

[14:57] *pm2d1gd5 [14:57] HDD [14:57] Peter-C: couple of Gig then IMO [14:57] Peter-C: other opinions may vary ☺ [14:57] 4? [14:57] Cameron|iPad: What is your question?

[15:01] I don't think wifi is set up :/ [15:01] Cameron|iPad: probably easier to temporarily move it to plug in a wire, but you can set up wireless from the command line [15:02] Erm how, allanbell? :L [15:04] Cameron|iPad: More info on this can be found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 but as AlanBell suggested wired would be the way to go.

[16:06] OerHeks, Cameron agreed [16:06] m4k, thats a pretty broad question; sure: newer kernel version, update version of applications, was there something in particular you needed [16:06] ikonia: plz give som eg [16:06] OerHeks: networkmanager isn't running yet, no desktop [16:06] Heh, just realized my new package has already been listed in the menu by magic! Thank yu Lubuntu ;) [16:06] m4k: why ? what do you want to do/why do you need the info ? [16:07] Inet6 addr: fe80::52e5:49ff.......

So i want a base system with latest [16:09] What do I do alanbell? :( [16:09] I can't figure out why busybox ash is apparently skipping over the first part of this statement when no string is found, but correctly does the 'else' part, when noaufs is found in /proc/cmdline. http://pastebin.com/KBQP6t2T [16:09] m4k: ubuntu from scratch ? do you mean you are doing a clean install ? [16:09] m4k: in which case the later the version the more "current" the package versions will be [16:09] how do I manually load a module after rmmod it? [16:09] Cameron: it is just a regular home broadband router right? nothing odd about it? [16:09] html, ikonia i was trying to ask the bot questions... in !pm [16:09] ubuntuaddicted: you asked this the other day [16:09] ubuntuaddicted: modprove [16:09] i forgot, sorry [16:09] modprobe [16:10] thanks [16:10] Nope, bt broadband home hub [16:10] <|Anthony|> how can i restart pointer services?

[16:13] Cameron: ok, lets set an ip address manually and see if it can see the hub [16:13] Anyone know of a good site or tutorial that "fully" explains the best way to format and prepare a drive for dual OS's? [16:13] lspci -k IIRC gives you a readout of your hdwr [16:13] Alanbell? [16:13] ikonia: ok, i m selectin oneiric. I have a old system so i want install all light wt packages xfce,... So after this any support will on ubuntu side for doubts [16:13] Oh sorry [16:13] Oh and Good mornogn!! :) [16:14] <|Anthony|> seems as though using VMware causes a mouse glitch... The pointer icon *gets confused* in both host and guest os when there is a cursor change. ie. over a text box it keeps switching [16:14] How?

[16:16] Yep [16:16] Repli alanbell [16:17] yay [16:17] ikonia: thk u and ubuntu . Gd bye [16:17] html: sure, so why are you telling him your cpu and ram ? [16:17] CyberDawg: sure, have I missunderstood what you want to do ? [16:17] <|Anthony|> ikonia, how do i reload a mouse cursor theme? [16:17] ok, Cameron, now try ping 8.8.8.8 [16:17] |Anthony|: change theme and change back [16:17] How do I stop the current pinging? [16:17] It keeps going [16:17] ctrl+c [16:17] ikonia, as am exsample [16:18] ikonia, I am pretty new to Linux and partitioning... I want to partition a drive for Windows 7 and Ubutu 11.10 with a common spane for my files [16:18] space* [16:18] html: put some thought into it, knowing his cpu would be of no use [16:18] Network is unreachable alanbell [16:18] what acseyly pinging did? [16:18] Cameron: ok, we need to set your default gateway to be the hub [16:18] CyberDawg: ok, so do that, 3 partitions, ubuntu/windows/spare [16:18] I was thinking windows/spare/ubuntu [16:19] ikonia, right [16:19] CyberDawg: fine, [16:19] How? [16:19] CyberDawg: it really doesn't matter [16:19] hi [16:19] Cameron: route add default gw 192.168.1.254 eth0 [16:19] hi all does anybody of you use snort?

I think i need to "enable the reaction to packets" but i don't know how to do it since i installed it using apt-get and not from sources... [16:19] then ping 8.8.8.8 again [16:19] ikonia, more importantly I want to learn the "correct" way to go about it.... a site with those shiny little pics maybe?? :) [16:19] What? [16:19] As a command? [16:20] CyberDawg: there is no correct way, it's how you want to it [16:20] I guess it's possible to install {x,k}ubuntu on an external usb hard drive. what is the easiest way how to do that? [16:20] "do it" === ar0nic is now known as marowanna [16:20] 'route add Defau [16:20] ikonia, Ive been told Windas gets pissed if its not first on the drive [16:20] Gargh [16:20] Cameron: yes, all one command [16:20] CyberDawg: windows wants a small partition at the start for the install, sure, but the windows installer deals with that [16:21] CyberDawg: reading the dualboot info I gave you will explain this [16:21] Reply!!!

[16:21] Cameron: yay, getting there [16:22] I guess it's possible to install {x,k}ubuntu on an external usb hard drive. what is the easiest way how to do that? [16:22] Cameron: ok, now do "nano /etc/resolv.conf" which will open an editor [16:22] <|Anthony|> CyberDawg, be careful when using a common partition between os's for shared storage. [16:22] reliability: just do an install and select the usb disk in the installer [16:22] |Anthony|, explain more please? [16:22] Oh, alanbell I just started update :/ [16:22] Cancelled [16:23] Cameron: I think you can't ping things by name yet [16:23] so I think ping ubuntu.com will fail [16:23] Ok I am in [16:23] Nano [16:23] ikonia, i am trying to use my sd mico card from my andriod .. i want to put a linux os on it.. but its write protected === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [16:23] <|Anthony|> CyberDawg, when putting an os to sleep or hibernation, file corruption may occur [16:23] html: there you go then, it's write protected, you can't do anything with it [16:23] <|Anthony|> so i've read === braiam is now known as maiarb [16:23] Cameron: ok, you need to add a line at the end (it might be empty) with "nameserver 8.8.8.8" [16:24] CyberDawg: that is incorrect [16:24] ikonia: the thing is that I want to prepare a bootable installation disk on a 64-bit system for a 32-bit system. [16:24] CyberDawg: |Anthony| is mistaken [16:24] <|Anthony|> good [16:24] ikonia, what do i do? [16:24] Ok [16:24] Cameron: then ctrl+x to quit and y to save [16:24] DOne [16:24] shall i just use the usb-creator? [16:24] <|Anthony|> i thought it was bs too === maiarb is now known as braiam [16:24] then you should be able to ping ubuntu.com [16:24] html: how is it read only [16:24] |Anthony|: then don't quote it if a.) you don't believe it b.) don't know if it's true [16:24] <|Anthony|> but sometimes better to er on the side of caution [16:25] |Anthony|: not if it's nonsense and you don't believe it yourself [16:25] |Anthony|: giving wrong/miss-leading information is just as unhelpful as not giving a warning for something [16:25] Unable to write, read only file system [16:26] ikonia, is it best to partition the drive into seperate sections or let the OS's duke it out... [16:26] ??? [16:26] Am sorry to ask again: should I use the usb-creator to write to a /hard drive/ in order to create an installation disk? [16:26] CyberDawg: if you are going to have 2 OS's on the drive, they will have to be on seperate partitions [16:26] Cameron: eww, ok you are in the recovery console or something [16:26] <|Anthony|> but ikonia, please help me understand this. What happens if you have a file open and put the box to sleep, and then instead of booting back into the sleeping os, you boot into an other and open the same file and begin editing? [16:26] reliability: yes [16:26] ok thx, i will try that [16:26] Yes alanbell [16:26] ikonia: thx a lot [16:27] |Anthony|: there maybe a .tmp version of the file [16:27] |Anthony|: in addition to the existing version [16:27] <|Anthony|> hmm [16:27] ikonia, correct but its it best to make the drive a single partition, install windos first, then Ubuntu or use disk manager and chunkk it up first? [16:27] Hi guys, theres 3 things I need my system to do when it boots up, thats 'pon, sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 and sudo firestarter -s' how can I do this please? [16:27] the original file will not be changed [16:27] <|Anthony|> that was the main example of why it COULD cause file corruption [16:27] CyberDawg: again, the dualboot link I gave you earlier will explain this, but windows first is the common approach [16:28] ikonia, thanks again [16:28] |Anthony|: that is not file corruption [16:28] |Anthony|: nothing is corrupted [16:29] cjg: /etc/rc.local [16:29] cjg: Just add the commands there [16:29] Alanbell? [16:30] Cameron: mount -o remount,rw / [16:30] try that, it should make the drive readwrite, then you should be able to add nameserver 8.8.8.8 to the end of /etc/resolv.conf [16:31] Yeses! [16:31] Ok... Now to install the graphics card driver [16:31] How.....? [16:31] Cameron: Eh, you should probably use the "Hardware Drivers" tool which comes with Ubuntu [16:32] Cameron: ok, so you can ping things by name now? === Amadis_Wiki is now known as Guest22130 [16:32] ikonia, the dual boot url you shared is very informative and explains many of my questions regarding how the OS's think... thanks again [16:32] theadmin: so what about the commands that need sudo to run? like sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168 and sudo firestarter -s??? [16:32] Yes [16:32] put sudo in? [16:32] welcome [16:32] Cameron: ok, try "apt-get install fglrx" [16:32] cjg: You can either put it in or not, won't really matter with rc.local, they run as root anyway. [16:33] papapitufo [16:33] ikonia: one doubt more. Blueman is required to pair devices using hcitool?? [16:34] ! [16:34] blueman is the bluetooth manager interface [16:34] Okay thanks [16:34] now just reboot? [16:34] No installation candidate alanbell [16:34] Cameron: ok, do "apt-get update" [16:34] then try again [16:35] ikonia: it is not required? [16:35] if you are using hcitool directly, I don't believe so, but I'm not %100 [16:36] ikonia: bluez-utils package is required? [16:36] yes [16:37] Ok [16:38] hey one of the commands in /etc/rc.local needs to wait about 10 seconds before it runs how do I do that? [16:38] Cameron: ok, if that installed try "fglrxinfo" and it should tell you what card it is hopefully [16:38] firestarter -s [16:38] ikonia: oh, when i try to install bluez-utils in maverick. That showing Not installation cantidate. [16:39] m4k: you said you where using oneiric. earlier [16:40] ikonia: nw im using maverick. Im try to install oneiric froscratch. [16:41] m4k: ok, so why are you using maverick if you are trying to do a clean install of oneiric? [16:41] 50% complete [16:41] from scratch [16:41] Alanbell [16:41] m4k: what do you mean "from scratch" ? [16:42] hey guys why google earth is not on ubuntu repos and is there a guide how to install it [16:42] a-saint: google earth is a proprietary program that cannot be included in the repos. however, the Google Earth installation site has a package for Ubuntu - just install it [16:43] LjL ok thanks [16:43] can anyone help me register my nick?

So i do trial for using hcitool in maverick, that not working . That pair with my mobile. So when i installing oneic i think i will face this prblm in oneiric. So im clearing doubts about it. [16:47] so, you have the binary drivers installed, I guess there isn't much for it but to reboot and see if they work (unless anyone else has a suggestion of something else to do whilst connected to the internet) [16:47] m4k: "base system" [16:48] Ok [16:48] Yeh ubuntu base system [16:49] It worked!!!!!!!

[16:52] hi [16:52] how can I check, which java version is currently installed and used? it looks like i have the sun-jdk in a dangerously old version [16:53] PrototypeX29A: java -version and javac -version [16:53] anyone able to help me with a ubuntu issue, please? [16:53] alexinquest: ask [16:54] google hasn't proven very helpful in this [16:54] i've tried wicd, but i'm not a fan. [16:54] scott__: what wifi adapter is it? (some are just not very good) [16:54] alexinquest: ask here in the channel please [16:55] ok [16:55] I'm trying to change the default boot os back to windows 7 that I installed ubuntu next to [16:55] LjL: did that: http://pastebin.com/Nbp0U8uJ but i cannot figure out whether this is the oracle version or not? [16:56] ikonia [16:56] LjL: if so, java 1.6.0 update 26 is too old [16:56] PrototypeX29A: looks like Sun Java 6 to me [16:56] Use Java 7 the latest and the greatest from Oracle [16:57] This shows you how to install Oracle Java 7 from the website ->http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux [16:58] alexinquest: i think the proper way should be to change the file /etc/default/grub to say, instead of GRUB_DEFAULT=0, GRUB_DEFAULT="name of the Windows item in the menu" [16:58] Quantum_Ion: lets see if the packaged stuff works before recommending unpackaged things [16:58] I'd rather use openjdk. [16:58] question: can i upgrade to kernel version 3.2 if im using ubuntu 10.04 LTS right now? [16:58] Quantum_Ion: so anyone useing Java 6 is just screwed with an unpatched version? [16:58] PrototypeX29A: the recommended Java to use is OpenJDK currently [16:58] I was able to edit grub_default to what i need [16:58] in other words, can i update the kernel to 3.2 WITHOUT changing anything else? [16:59] join #hg [16:59] ikonia, oh i didnt see you comment its read only ... [16:59] LjL: openjdk kept crashing, thats why i used sun [16:59] PrototypeX29A: sorta, Sun had a license that allowed distributing Java in the repositories, but not anymore. so Ubuntu can't distribute it. [16:59] AlanBell, That packaged stuff is old, especially Java [16:59] Helooo ikonia.... [16:59] m4k, maybe ikonia is away at the moment, don't keep highlighting him [16:59] LjL: then java 7 isn't up to date either? [16:59] PrototypeX29A, Java 6 is old stuff use Java 7 ->http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux [16:59] salu [16:59] PrototypeX29A: well it is being maintained, try it again, the crashes might be fixed, openjdk7 is available [16:59] PrototypeX29A: i don't even think Java 7 is *in* the repositories, but not sure [17:00] m4k, hes been in here for a long time ... i guess heis in the rr [17:00] You need to learn how to configure some stuff on your own without being too dependent on the repositories [17:00] !info openjdk-7-jdk [17:00] openjdk-7-jdk (source: openjdk-7): OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK). In component universe, is optional. Version 7~b147-2.0-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 (oneiric), package size 10954 kB, installed size 36180 kB [17:00] i think it would then be better to drop sun's java6 alltogether, instead of leaving the user with an exploitable version [17:01] I was able to edit grub_default to what i need, but when i run sudo update-grub I get/etc/default/grub: 18: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html: not found [17:01] PrototypeX29A, For a challenge try to install Oracle Java on Ubuntu manually follow this link -> http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux [17:01] PrototypeX29A: whatever we do, someone will think we did the wrong thing [17:01] In the ned you will gain a greater understanding of Java 7 on your system [17:01] could I have a recommendation for a functional FTP program please [17:01] anyone know if one can update to kernel 3.2 using ubuntu 10.04 (without changing anything else).. TIA [17:02] I'm totally new to ubuntu, so i have no clue why i get this [17:02] Quantum_Ion: you've linked to that three times, i think it's enough [17:02] LjL, Who are you God ? [17:02] Quantum_Ion: sorry? [17:03] alexinquest: uuh, what does the URL http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html have to do with anything? O.o [17:03] Quantum_Ion: please keep that kind of remark out of this channel. thanks. [17:03] I don't know why it comes up. I visited this website a while ago for some grub 2 tutorial [17:03] LjL, it that the bootloader hes updaating? [17:03] html: yeah [17:03] how it comes up in terminal i dont know [17:04] alexinquest: pastebin the contents of your /etc/default/grub [17:04] hello [17:04] AlanBell: "wrong" doesn't nail it. "Security desaster" would be more appropriate [17:04] trying to setup a home network between two ubuntu computer, and possibly one under win7 ? [17:04] anyone got a clue or a guide ? [17:04] AlanBell: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpuoct2011-443431.html [17:05] how do i do that? [17:05] PrototypeX29A: so it would be better to pull Java from users who already have it installed, and suddenly have their things stop working? anyway, let's discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want, we shouldn't continue here [17:05] alexinquest: sudo apt-get install pastebinit ; cat /etc/default/grub | pastebinit [17:06] alexinquest, why are you in the bootloader ? and you total new to this,. thats like messing with your car starter [17:07] hello, im having trouble getting my bluetooth to work with kubuntu 11.10, i didnt even think the laptop had bluetooth, but i keep seeing "stopping bluetooth" when i reboot, in settings it says no bluetooth device found, ill pastebin dmesg | grep Blue* if anyones intrested, the laptop is a dell inspiron e1705, any help is good, thanks === Mud is now known as Guest62628 [17:07] ikonia, was it you was discussing partitioning to a few minutes ago?

[17:09] http://pastebin.com/KREQsZHX [17:09] What DE would you recommend that is lightweight, can remove all panels, and put a dock and switcher of my choice?

[17:11] oscar76: Dunno, sorry. [17:12] alexinquest: you removed the initial # from line 18. add it back. [17:12] how can I allow ssh access to my laptop? apt-get install ssh says it is already installed... [17:12] alexinquest: then change line 6 to say what it needs to say ("6" might be correct, but it can change in the future, so you should put the *name* of the menu entry there) [17:12] AFD: ssh is the client, you want sshd [17:12] AFD: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [17:12] AFD: you'll need opensh-server [17:12] Oh, that's the package name. Okay. [17:12] cheers guys :D [17:12] *ssh. what LjL said. [17:13] LjL: that is apparently already installed! Do I need to turn it on?

[17:38] !java | diciocciob [17:38] diciocciob: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

[17:45] LjL: I thought it was more of an OS's choice to support it. Wikipedia says it supports it. [17:45] Anybody knows how to get the Raling Wifi adapter enabled under ubuntu? _ [17:46] Windows doesn't support it without UEFI. [17:46] Ralink* [17:46] is there a good GUI to manage iptables?

[19:25] and yes of course the latest one [19:25] jeremiah_, use the alternate [19:25] thatl work on low ram [19:25] and its just as easy [19:25] jeremiah_: less then 4GB RAM 32Bit more 64Bit [19:25] ok [19:26] schnuffle, his cpu is 400mhz i doubt its 64 bit :) [19:26] DAC/ADC? [19:26] Leah: then its an internal partition. Its on the drive in your pc. Not a removable storage [19:26] Gentoo64: okay missed that one :) [19:26] speedex, idk what sound card you use..

[19:26] Cameron: use a console based tool or get a live system that supports your graphic [19:27] gentoo64 but I have 3 soundcards [19:27] oh I'm so gonna get laughed at, has anyone here built Second Life for 64 bit 11.10? [19:27] speedex, if default works, use that [19:27] jeremiah_: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/11.10/release/lubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso [19:27] but which one do it use? :D [19:27] speedex, in terminal do aplay -l [19:27] thatl list what is what [19:27] ok thanks [19:28] jeremiah_: get lubuntu-11.10-alternate-i 386.iso [19:28] ActionParsnip: of course it is but is there any benefit from using PAE instead of 64Bit?

[19:29] ok, :P how to kill proces by command name: ruby muzang.rb [19:29] schnuffle: 32bit may be required for some stuff which only gives 32bit support. 99.9% of the time if you have more than 3Gb ram the 64bit is a wiser choice [19:30] Gentoo64, its the ncurses based install only also known as the debian-installed, different from the live cd which lets you test drive without installing, and the choice to install [19:30] ActionParsnip: thanx, that corresponds to my knowledge [19:30] err installer [19:30] its friday! [19:30] bazhang, yes, but as his cpu is 400mhz i take it he has next to no ram... [19:30] ActionParsnip, given how much headache Second Life has given me in the past week, I am probably that 1%...

[19:30] Gentoo64: it still installs a desktop OS. Just isn't pretty like users expect [19:30] AlanBell, CTL+ALT+anything behaves the same: flashes login prompt, shows a flash of console syslog output, switches to TTY with login manager, appears to have forcibly exited active DE session. Using spice just means that i'm using a qxl device for graphics, otherwise the interface is the same as VNC [19:30] bazhang, in other words itll be much faster [19:31] Gentoo64, indeed. for low ram [19:31] i got a 500mhz laptop other week with 180mb ram lol [19:31] AlanBell, reading up on upstart, as appendations to grub as systemd targets or numerical runlevels appear to be ignored [19:31] Is there a good tool available for converting wmw files to H.264?

LCD refresh rate doesn't cause eye strain, all it does is make the picture update more or less often. these are not CRTs where the picture "flashes" [20:58] hi!

Also, Precise is not supported here. [21:12] I am [21:12] WoC: Well, visit #ubuntu+1. If I recall correctly, the command is "update-manager -d" [21:13] If anyone ever needs any Carfax or AutoCheck reports lemme know, I got unlimited access. [21:13] I understand, being a developer version [21:13] WoC: dist-upgrade means upgrade all packages (same as full-upgrade), it doesn't have anything to do with upgrading to a new version. [21:13] k [21:13] thanks [21:16] historically iy's because it's how upgrading between Debian versions was done using apt. dist-upgrade is more aggressive about dependencies [21:16] ssta, zykotic10, WoC: To be precise, "upgrade" just performs upgrades, and "dist-upgrade" installs new dependencies, if any are there. [21:17] ok, thanks [21:17] theadmin: dist-upgrade will also remove packages. [21:17] ssta: True dat [21:18] is there a non gui version of update-manager ? [21:18] dependency resolution is not a trivial thing. [21:18] WoC: You want "do-release-upgrade"?

It seems to be stucked at 16bit dept [21:37] gbear14275, and you've tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [21:38] does anybody knows a good alternative to megavideo?

[21:44] gbear14275, it's pretty hard to mess up to install. i am sure you did it fine. [21:45] nerilex: ooh. root pwd maybe? [21:45] gbear14275: why use a closed source program, when chromium gets the new features first? well, good luck. [21:45] zainka, nope [21:46] zanika, there are two users on the sys, b & z [21:46] b was created first [21:46] zykotic10, Not the question but was hoping to test out the built in vs the open source version. Trying to troubleshoot a condition where flash settings are unclickable. As I mentioned... I have both chromium and Chrome [21:46] but z is asked for b's passphrase [21:47] zykotic10, that answer your question? [21:47] nerilex: pkexec allows an authorized user to execute PROGRAM as another user. If username is not specified, then the program will be executed as the administrative super user, root. [21:47] gbear14275: what version of ubuntu are you using? that flash non-clickable was an old issue, has it resurfaced? [21:48] Id the crontab: 01 16 * * 5 each friday at 16:01 ? [21:48] *is [21:48] gbear14275: are you using 64bit ubuntu? [21:48] zykotic10, I'm using 11.10, ran into it using chromium beta releases [21:48] zykotic10, yes, 64bit [21:48] zainka, that's what the manpage says, but there is no option to specify who's password should be used [21:49] gbear14275: the OLD issue was due to the wrapper using 32bit flash. shouldn't be an issue now with native 64bit flash. good luck. [21:49] zainka, the problem occurs because ubuntu-software-center, synaptic and more tools use pkexec to get executed with root privileges [21:50] zykotic10, Maybe you can help with this. I noticed in software center that there were two options for installing flash - [21:50] nerilex: I know, it was easier to snip it from there :) OK, I ll try something here [21:50] gbear14275, have you checked out this helpful site for things to do after installing 11.10? http://smashingweb.ge6.org/things-to-do-after-install-ubuntu-11-10-for-perfect-desktop/ [21:51] gbear14275: does chromium come with the built-in-flash thingy? I just tested in a vm and chromium doesn't show any flash based stuff with just the default install [21:52] hi, one question, what is the most common doubt asked here about ubuntu?? [21:52] First "Adobe Flash plugin" desc - "Installer for the Adobe Flash plugin for Mozilla", second "Adobe Flash Plugin 10" desc - "Adobe Flash Player plugin version 11" Which should I select? [21:52] Slart: chromium doesn't come with flash, no. [21:52] Slart, no chromium requires a seperate flash installation [21:52] hi all, is anyone using dell inspiron n4050 laptop? [21:52] gbear14275: it's version 11 that has native 64bit support. [21:52] i have a blog, and I'd like to explain the most common questions about this O.S. [21:52] nerilex: pkexec should ask for the password when invoked in a window. However, I have heard there have been some issues in 11.10 version, but i run xubuntu 11.04 for the moment [21:53] Guest81966: most common question.. "Can I ask any question in here?", answer "No, just user end user support for ubuntu" [21:53] hello room [21:53] =) [21:53] hi i want to install utf-8 greek (language)i have ubuntu 11.10 eng and the subs for the videos shows up like Chinese,any commands to terminal or somthink to do this??? [21:53] zykotic10, so that is my question... use the one with no version stated, OR use the one with "10" in the title and "11" in the description [21:53] <[deXter]> Guest81966, The most common question is "how to change my nickname here?" [21:53] XD [21:53] gbear14275, i run the beta on my old gateway laptop and have no isses with it [21:53] gbear14275: try the Flash11 version [21:54] what the difference (amd ) from an an apu to a cpu? [21:54] gbear14275, 32 bit LTS 10.04.3 [21:54] zykotic10, the one with "11" in the description? [21:54] gbear14275: yes [21:54] <[deXter]> htmlinprogress, APU includes the GPU as well; also this question belongs in ##hardware [21:55] gbear14275: also verify you haven't added any other versions, gnash etc. more then one flash and you'll run into issues [21:55] zykotic10, ok. and just to clarify you aren't able to help diagnose the lack of flash in the Chome .deb for 64bit correct? [21:55] htmlinprogress, it means it has more then just cpu, it has gfx built in as well. I think. lol [21:55] gbear14275: that's propritary software, i have no interest sorry. [21:55] zykotic10, I uninstalled everything I could find related to browsers, flash and everything else to try and start fresh [21:56] this the preamble to if i get an apu will ubuntu support ,if not when? [21:56] gbear14275: good plan. [21:56] <[deXter]> htmlinprogress, it already has good support since kernel 2.6.39 [21:56] is there any way to open a console on the "preparing to install ubuntu" screen ? [21:56] Before Ubuntu 11.10 I used to be able to check some boxes in my remote connection settings window and it set it up for connection. This no longer happens. How do I get that back? [21:56] it says I'm not connected to the internet which I want to validate [21:56] <[deXter]> htmlinprogress, which means the current Ubuntu 11.10 works well with APUs [21:57] Darkfrost, ifconfig [21:57] zykotic10, You don't happen to know why there are two entries for flash in the software center do you? [21:57] DarkRift, do you have a valid IP? [21:57] ubuntuaddicted, I know that, problem is I don't have a console [21:57] to validate that [21:57] gbear14275: one is the debian upstream version, the other is ubuntu specific (i believe) [21:57] zainka, yeah, the problem happens on an 11.10 box under gnome3 [21:57] DarkRift, which ubuntu are you using? [21:57] I want to open a console in the installation process [21:58] [deXter], then how well ? and how effective /utilized so i can use it in games and app that use it [21:58] zykotic10, ok thanks for your help. I'll give it a try [21:59] what are the dependencies for python urid [21:59] urwid [21:59] nerilex: I am no expert so i have decided to wait a while before using gnome3. I guess therel be troubles so I stick with good ol'l X for as long as it suits my needs. Sorry I cant help. [21:59] <[deXter]> htmlinprogress, pretty decent. with the open-source drivers most 3D apps and simple or old games work fine (eg; Oblivion). Newer games will be slow though (eg: Skyrim). However you could install the restricted drivers if you want full acceleration, but I wouldn't recommend this *unless* you are getting really bad FPS in new games.. [22:00] DarkRift, if it doesn't work during install, that most likely means the module (driver) for your ethernet card OR wifi is not built into the kernel [22:00] [deXter], your telling me to go to #hardware and talk about linux when they will say the same.. [22:00] htmlinprogress, i think he is merely trying to keep the room on topic. it's a very fast paced room. :-) [22:00] If I want to upgrade my system from 11.04 to 11.10, all I need to do is make sure all my packages are up to date, then run "sudo do-release-upgrade" correct? [22:01] in ubuntu, is there a way to set all folders to view as 'list' mode? [22:01] yes Pancakez [22:01] i hate everytime it open as icon mode [22:01] ubuntuaddicted, I have an address, the "connection information" says so and the gateway is valid, only there is an X stating that I'm not connected to the internet, which is wrong, because all my other vm's work fine with the same configurations [22:01] phong_, yes, open nautilus and under edit, preferences [22:01] ? [22:01] AlanBell: ok, thanks [22:01] zainka, thanks for trying [22:01] d [22:01] !upgrade > Pancakez [22:01] Pancakez, please see my private message [22:01] DarkRift, huh, weird. are you're possitive there is nothing different in the VM settings? [22:01] absolutely [22:01] zykotic10, after install and browser reboot, still not recognized. Shouldn't require a machine restart should it? [22:02] DarkRift, you're sure your DHCP server has additional addresses to give out? [22:02] ubuntuaddicted, i have not a clue [22:02] Pancakez: check the pm ubottu just sent you, could bit of pre-upgrade reading that may answer a lot of questions going forward [22:02] software center says it's installed [22:02] ubuntuaddicted, show me hwo to do it? [22:02] affirmative, I have a valid ip as I said [22:02] [deXter], wel i am thinkin about buyin it a apu based pc with linux to sell ,so i MUST ask somewhere... is there a link or something? [22:02] phong_, which version of ubuntu? [22:02] ikonia, thanks for the links [22:02] 11.10 [22:02] <[deXter]> htmlinprogress, Link for what exactly? [22:02] phong_, on the left, click on the folder icon which should open nautilus [22:03] finally got passed that screen ... dunno how tho [22:03] DarkRift, cool [22:03] ubuntuaddicted, sorry man, i have classic view mode [22:03] Hi, I'm new in ubuntu... how can I add gnome-panel to the autostart applications? [22:03] ubuntuaddicted, tell me in command mode [22:03] ubuntu 11.10 [22:03] [deXter], does it work in 10.04 and 10.10? === Gskellig|away is now known as Gskellig [22:03] phong_, type in nautilus in your cli === NORMALNY_FACET is now known as SKM10 [22:03] ok === arpd is now known as ath [22:04] phong_, now, in the Edit pulldown, you should see something that says Preferences [22:04] <[deXter]> htmlinprogress, Not really.. it will install but you wont get any graphics acceleration [22:04] [deXter], apu stuff i guess [22:04] graphics acceleration? means? [22:04] zykotic10, looks like that install tried to install the 32bit version. [22:04] phong_, the first tab should be Views. change that to List View [22:04] got it [22:04] ubuntuaddicted, thanks [22:05] htmlinprogress, like being able to use google earth and 3d direct rendering [22:05] why is it call nauti? [22:05] lol [22:05] phong_, nautilus is the default gnome file manager [22:05] ubuntuaddicted, it really doesn't make any sense by calling 'nautilus' [22:05] gbear14275: sorry i don't have an answer for that... silly ubuntu ;) [22:05] phong_, :-) [22:05] phong_, gotta run. take care [22:05] okie thanks [22:05] <[deXter]> htmlinprogress, Meaning which 3D applications will be rendered by the CPU instead of the GPU component, so you won't be able to play 3D games because it'll be really slow (infact they might even just crash) [22:06] take care everyone. ubuntuforums.org is a plaec to get help IF you can't stick around in IRC. I am dannyboy79 over there [22:06] I'm trying to compile something with g++ and I'm getting "error: cast from 'unit_head*' to 'uintptr {aka unsigned int}' loses precision [-fpermissive]" is there a specific place to append this -fpermissive flag, or should I just fix the code? [22:06] gbear14275: if you do have 32bit ubuntu, try searching the net for the fix for clicking not working... it must still be out there, somewhere. [22:06] <[deXter]> Cya ubuntuaddicted .. why don't you just use the same nickname here? :P [22:06] help how do I get /dev/sda1 visible from root partition of /proc ?

[22:20] mikePfeiffer1827: in the long run - you're better to find gnu/linux replacements for your windows programs. wine should only be a transitional tool. [22:21] damselfly9, The computer is old and Windows XP is unable to boot [22:21] mikePfeiffer1827: if you install wine then .exe files will run as if they were native, as everyone is saying [22:21] is there any way I can stop writes to my disk, and copy it to another drive, without having to boot from a CD? [22:21] nancy--: please keep it in the channel, but that isn't really an ubuntu relevant question [22:21] Slart, AlanBell where can we talk about it. (this is ubuntu only) [22:22] Yes, I see. Thankyou. Ubuntu is installed alongside Ubuntu, however I am unable to boot Windows (XP) [22:22] nancy--: you're already talking about it in #ubuntu-offtopic - seems appropriate to me [22:22] nancy--: try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:22] oh..ok [22:23] scientes_, if you re-mounted your filesystem(s) as read-only, that would stop disk writes (I don't know enough about this though, your system might become unstable - maybe not, but I don't know enough for sure) [22:23] Hi, got a little question, do you know why my shortcul maj(left)+ctrl+T doesn't work but my shortcut maj(right)+ctrl+T works in a terminal???

Thanks [22:25] mikePfeiffer1827: dunno if I missed it, but what is it you want to do exactly? [22:25] damselfly9, This computer is old. It has 1GB of ram and a 3GHz pentium 4 processor. It would not have the ram to be able to Dual boot XP and Ubuntu [22:26] 1GB is plenty for XP [22:26] mikePfeiffer1827: uh? dual booting has nothing to do with RAM [22:26] what? dual boot does notmean youre running the systems at the same time [22:26] mikePfeiffer1827, Dual boot = running one OS or the other - not at the same time [22:27] it just means theyre both installed and you get to choose which ever when you start your pc [22:27] AlanBell, Sorry, I have been trying to boot XP after installing Ubuntu as I have games and programs on XP that I would like to continue to play. XP is unable to boot [22:28] which bootloader did you install? [22:28] mikePfeiffer1827, that is nothing to do with ubuntu - if you have dual boot set up you should be able to run XP [22:28] Guiness2702, I thought by dual boot, you meant booting both at the same time. I have both OS installed but cannot boot XP [22:28] mikePfeiffer1827, no, dual boot means running one OR the other [22:28] Guinness2702: that it is "nothing to do with Ubuntu" might be an overstatement, it could well be a problem with GRUB [22:28] All I get is a blank screen [22:28] mikePfeiffer1827, you want to run one inside the other [22:29] LjL, he posted a bootscript yesterday all looked good. [22:29] LjL, yeah, and he could have screwed up his partitions too, but dual booting (when set up correctly) should not in and of itself prevent XP from running [22:29] Guiness2702, No, I would like to run one or the other. There are just some programs that are only available to run in XP [22:29] or Windows, sorry [22:30] mikePfeiffer1827: have you already tried running "sudo update-grub"? though urlin2u tells me you posted your GRUB data before and they were ok [22:30] mikePfeiffer1827: edit /etc/default/grub and comment out one of the rows to make grub visible (cant remember which one, i think maybe hidden timeout) and run sudo grub-update to apply the config [22:30] oops [22:30] mikePfeiffer1827, you still have the bootscript results.txt? [22:30] mikePfeiffer1827: sudo update-grub it is, my bad [22:31] Hi... [22:31] deleted b partitions but now I can not boot windows 7 [22:31] Detergentizer: you deleted what partitions? [22:31] Detergentizer, try ##windows [22:31] when i boot it goes to grub rescue instead ... is there a way to fix? [22:31] I removd ubunt partitions [22:31] LjL, could have missed something though, you never know. [22:31] LjL, yes, ran the boot script and all. I do not have the boot script as after following urlin2u's instructions nothing was able to boot. So I put the boot disk in for Ubuntu and erased and reinstalled [22:31] mikePfeiffer1827: also be informed that there is something called "wine" that lets you run windows programs on ubuntu [22:32] Detergentizer: you need the Windows install CD to restore the Windows loader, ##windows should be able to help you with the process [22:32] mikePfeiffer1827, you could of just reloaded grub., [22:32] warfaren, I got that one before [22:32] ok [22:32] the cdrom stopped working :( [22:33] urlin2u, I don't know much about reloading grub. [22:33] mikePfeiffer1827: it gets better with every update. some programs require a little tweaking to run well though, but most work out of the box [22:34] mikePfeiffer1827, you didn't need to reinstall I only told you how to load the ms boot to the mbr, grub can be reloaded easily, but I understand if you didn't kno how. === wolf is now known as Guest72671 [22:34] warfaren, Ill install wine later, after I know I can boot XP [22:34] why does cat'ing stuff into /dev/audio not do anything? [22:35] wiiiiiiiiiiiii canal de age of empires [22:35] ??? [22:35] urlin2u, I followed your instructions posted yesterday and is said windows sucessfully recovered [22:35] monx, what is /dev/audio? [22:35] urlin2u, however i restarted and got a blank screen [22:35] myself, i tried yesterday to boot an ubuntu 10.04 live cd and installed wine. mounted the windows partition that i had and started jedi knight 2 that was on the hdd. i was so amazed to see that it was running at 100% on the highest settings and i was just using the default graphics drivers that the live environment autoloads! [22:35] monx, I don't even have a /dev/audio on my system [22:35] totti: i don't see any. but ask in #freenode [22:36] where would i find older packages of python [22:36] urlin2u, nothing booted, so I reinstalled Ubuntu [22:36] below 2.7 [22:36] now its an old game but so is that computer [22:36] mikePfeiffer1827, did you see a GRUB menu, or did it go straight to a blank screen? [22:36] mikePfeiffer1827, still wouldn't boot though, bummer. There are great helpers for this on the ##windows channel i would try there for the XP booting. [22:37] mikePfeiffer1827: you might need to do "repair mode" with your windows cd [22:37] Guiness2702, just noticed I don't either. guess that answers my question haha [22:37] thanks [22:37] hello guys... 2questions... after an apt-get update i have : The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic transmission transmission-cli transmission-common transmission-gtk.. i added a ppa for transmission ;cause of problems i had.. 1) how can i install just the trasmission files? 2) do you think dist-upgrade safe option ?? [22:37] urlin2u, There was the Bios Scan and then a blank/black screen [22:37] monx, lol, it's easy to assume [22:37] fil: dist-upgrade will update to the new kernel - not sure about your transmission PPA issue. [22:37] urlin2u, I will try ##windows channel [22:38] mikePfeiffer1827, with the ms boot loaded? [22:38] damselfly9, did repair yesterday and everything went [22:38] zykotic: do u know how can i install just the trasmission files, but not update kernel? [22:38] mikePfeiffer1827: if you cant set it up for dual boot with grub, theres always easybcd for windows that will let you edit the windows bootloader to load ubuntu :) [22:38] !tab > fil [22:38] fil, please see my private message [22:38] fil: no idea sorry [22:39] mikePfeiffer1827: if grub doesn't work, maybe lilo? [22:39] urlin2u, you mean with the boot CD in? I took out the CD after the repair finished and restarted [22:39] mikePfeiffer1827: but you need to get xp booting somehow first, forexample by repairing with the cd === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo [22:39] damselfly9, I don't know much about boot systems [22:39] fil: would/does "sudo apt-get install transmission" work? [22:40] mikePfeiffer1827, no after you ran the fixmbr. [22:40] zykotic10, for some reason no... [22:40] urlin2u, after I ran fixmbr, I ran fixboot C: [22:41] Hello! [22:41] zykotic10, thanx anyway... [22:41] fil: are you using transmission-gtk as package name? [22:42] fil: never mind, transmission is a package name as well [22:42] mikePfeiffer1827, did you notice that was a secondary command and the fixmbr alone generally works. [22:42] mikePfeiffer1827: you did that and its still booting into ubuntu? [22:43] urlin2u, no I did not realise [22:43] warfaren, I reinstalled Ubuntu [22:43] hello, when using ubuntu software center what is the package i need to use certain proprietary media types? [22:43] Hi, how do i install the sun jre in ubuntu 11.10? [22:44] Cocorico: from now on, you need to manually download java from oracle directly [22:44] Cocorico: you can manually download it and install it from the java web [22:44] xzenx: probably ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:44] xzenx, restricted-extra's [22:44] ok, thanks [22:44] thank you [22:44] Cocorico: you can also install Open JDK from repositorioes [22:44] mikePfeiffer1827, cool yeah if XP worked before it is probably fixable but you need a windows pro. [22:44] Cocorico: otherwise you can always, in most cases, use OpenJDK [22:44] nah, i need the sun version here [22:44] i'll download, thanks [22:44] Cocorico: what do you need the sun version for? [22:44] !java > Cocorico this has the procedure [22:44] Cocorico, please see my private message [22:45] xzenx, it's not a package - go to Edit -> Software Sources and select restricted software [22:45] i'm a developer, i need the jre to match my jdk [22:45] thanks for the help [22:46] hey all, when I boot my computer I need to mount the USB like 100 times before it starts automounting [22:46] ıs there any command which gets a parameter pid (proces id) and gives output the window id's which are using by this proces. After that i need another command to get window title name from this window id. is there someone to help me? [22:46] does this sound familiar to anyone here? [22:47] jd_user_23234, sounds familiar, but you need to do some googling - try 'x window information' or wininfo, and stuff like that [22:48] hello, i have a big issue with the last version of ubuntu, after the upgrade i've notified that my pc at first start shutsdown alone.. and after 1 or 2 reboots it will work fine without problems for days... but if i shutdown for example during the night and i start it on the next monday it shoutsdown again...

[22:49] jd_user_23234: i've found this http://blog.chewearn.com/2010/01/18/find-window-id-of-a-process-id-in-bash-script/ [22:49] jd_user_23234, your question isn't 100% clear, since you start it with "ıs there any command which gets a parameter pid (proces id)" [22:49] hi [22:50] darmok and jalad at tanagra === jay is now known as Guest39331 [22:50] jd_user_23234, is that part of what you want, something that gets a process id? [22:50] norbert_, I think he means 'takes' instead of 'gets' [22:50] I have an ASUS F1A75-M board with an AMD A8-3870K processor. I can't seem to find any temperature sensor program that will identify the board/cpu. Can anyone point me in the right direction? [22:50] LjL: thank you! :) [22:50] norbert_, he want's window id &/or title from pid [22:50] what? [22:51] norbert_: if i will get a window id list, command line app will need a pid. right? [22:51] "xwininfo" - I knew it was something like that :) [22:51] yeah, so something like http://blog.chewearn.com/2010/01/18/find-window-id-of-a-process-id-in-bash-script/ [22:51] basically a let me google that for you [22:51] how do i uninstall python?

Was just checking [22:53] norbert_, true - i googled my question and got nothing - i asked here and got nothing - i googled again and found the answer :D [22:53] <_mike_> urlin2u, Will head over to ##windows channel === 18VAAKZCS is now known as jost_ [22:55] acerimmer, thats what i tried and a bunch of programs popped up, is that what python 2.7.1 is. i have to install 10.10 python package so wifi radar will work. is this possible on 11.04 [22:55] I have an ASUS F1A75-M board with an AMD A8-3870K processor. I can't seem to find any temperature sensor program that will identify the board/cpu. Can anyone point me in the right direction? [22:55] hello [22:55] <[deXter]> haux, lm_sensors [22:55] Doesn't work [22:56] All it identifies is k10temp-pci-00c3 [22:56] Raymond_: couldn't say as I only use LTS release. Sorry. [22:56] <[deXter]> haux, acpi [22:56] <[deXter]> command is "acpi -V" [22:57] I will try it. [22:57] There is a program called Psensor that identifies my ssd, but that was about as far as i could get === Kardos_ is now known as Kardos [22:58] acerimmer, is it possible to overwrite 2.7.1 with 2.6.6 [22:58] Raymond_: sorry, IDK. ask the channel again in a few minutes. [22:58] What's that website where I can paste an output to link here in the chat?

[22:58] hmmm, i have a major issue with my network. apparently it's fixed in kernel 3.1. [22:59] is there a way to use that easily in ubuntu 11.10? [22:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/813673/ [22:59] <[deXter]> Cocorico, Search for Ubuntu Mainline Kernel [22:59] thanks [23:00] <[deXter]> Raymond_, sure but you have to manually download those packages [23:01] [deXter], any other suggestions? [23:01] <[deXter]> Raymond_, but I wouldn't recommend it as you may break other packages in your system that depends on it [23:01] ljl, is it possible to overwrite python 2.7.1 with python 2.6.6....... 2.7.1 is used in 11.04 which i am using, 2.6.6 is used for 10.10. [23:01] <[deXter]> haux, Nope not really.. except for file a bug/feature report on the lm_sensors proejct page to add support for your board === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:02] Alright, thanks. [23:02] a bit of help here. I downloaded the dual-boot version of ubuntu [23:02] how do I switch back to windows? [23:02] Raymond_: it doesn't seem like a good idea at the very least [23:02] explodingpiglets: dual boot version? no such thing. Maybe you mean you installed ubuntu via the wubi method? [23:03] yea [23:03] wait a second.... [23:03] did that erase the windows os? [23:03] a [23:03] acerimmer? [23:03] explodingpiglets: did ubuntu erase windows? no. [23:03] oh ok [23:04] well, how do I switch back to windows? [23:04] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_AuaF3-wvo [23:04] explodingpiglets: ignore that. sorry [23:04] hello [23:04] ok [23:05] explodingpiglets: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation [23:05] I was under the impression that I could use both ubuntu and windows without having to delete one [23:05] explodingpiglets: correct impression [23:05] then how do I go back to running windows? [23:05] explodingpiglets: so did you install with Wubi, or with the standard CD? [23:05] wubi [23:05] explodingpiglets: true. maybe explain exactly what you want bcz wubi does = dual boot [23:05] I want to run both of them at the same time [23:06] explodingpiglets: i'm not familiar with Wubi but i believe you should have an option at boot time [23:06] explodingpiglets: uh you can't run them both *at the same time* === noname is now known as Guest5301 [23:06] <[deXter]> explodingpiglets, Unless of course you install Ubuntu in a virtual machine inside windows [23:06] LjL: wubi = fail, that's all you need to know ;) [23:06] explodingpiglets: what dexter said [23:06] i don't have vmware [23:06] explodingpiglets: virtual box is free [23:07] runs on windows/osx/ubuntu [23:07] ok [23:07] yeah but it's not really like he can run his *existing* Windows installation in VirtualBox [without a lot of trouble] [23:07] explodingpiglets: some things to consider. the absolutely "safest" way to run ubuntu and keep windows is to do a live boot from cdrom or usb [23:08] LjL, He could run ubuntu in virtual box in his existing windows ;) [23:08] seems he left already... [23:09] How do I fix a grub 17 error (I tried google, and nothing has worked so far) [23:09] acovrig: describe your installation/hardware... [23:10] acovrig, you have any details leading to this [23:11] hi, can can i make the text cursor blink faster in text editing apps?

[23:13] acovrig, what release? [23:13] Hello, I just switched to XFCE under ubuntu 11.10 and for some reason my alt tab function is not working can anybody help me? [23:13] "wubi=fail" is just fine and polite conversation here (btw, i dont think it is, i used it, its got its quirks), god help the passing opinion on unity though, wubi is sold by conical, it works! [23:14] urlin2u, acerimmer: 11.10 oneiric [23:14] acerimmer: Because `grub' -> command not found... [23:14] acovrig, your OS would only look for grub legacy if you had installed it. [23:14] acovrig: using wubi? [23:14] !grub | acovrig [23:14] acovrig: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[23:19] hey guys, i got a question. i have no usb device to boot from, my dvd burner isn't functioning (yay windows.) and i'd like to boot a live cd. Anybody know how to do that from HDD? i have a windows bootloader right now, and i'm not sure how feasible grub installation is. any thoughts? [23:20] acovrig, cool the link acerimmer gave should work here is the grub wiki as well in the chroot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [23:20] htmlinprogress: I think it is trying to be a hybrid, and thats where my problem is, I have stage1, yet I also have grub.cfg [23:20] google both [23:20] acovrig, you can purge all of grub from there and reload grub 2 as well. [23:21] urlin2u: I take it thats `rm -R /boot/grub; grub-install ' [23:21] acovrig: "apt-cache policy grub-pc" might tell you what version you have. [23:21] hi, bought a laptop, installed win 7 on the first 50gb,trying to install 11.10 desktop and during install it does not detect the win 7 install [23:21] what have I done wrong please [23:22] yaboo: you mean it doesn't see the win 7 parition?? [23:22] urlin2u: I have grub 1.99-12ubuntu5 [23:22] acovrig: that's grub2 btw [23:22] acerimmer, yes it does not see the win 7 parttiion [23:22] acovrig, I faerly rm I would run apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common then apt-get install grub-pc grub common the when asked where grub goes put it in the mbr [23:22] rarely* [23:23] yaboo: you installed win7 first?? [23:23] acerimmer, yes I did, hdd a 500gb, and win 7 is the first 50gb parttition === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === albert is now known as Guest17650 [23:23] acovrig, I would only purge if your sure you have grub legacy mixed, but if you do the purge correct you wont break anything [23:23] is there a way not to let ubuntu going to sleep mode? [23:23] yaboo: pastebin a screen shot [23:24] i hate to enter password after screen out [23:24] urlin2u: I would probably do a mv instead of a rm anyway just in case I wanted to come back to what I had [23:24] yaboo: also you did md5 check that ubuntu or is it a canonical cdrom? [23:24] can someone tell me how to turn off screen always stay on?

[23:24] Hi all. We cannot enter a password at the Ubuntu login screen. Both the computer keyboard and the on-screen accessibility keyboard are unable to enter characters in the password field. What could be a cause? [23:24] Guinness2702, you meant the power supply? [23:25] can anyone help ? ive manually moved libflashplayer.so to the plugins folder, tried flash aid, tried alternate plugins, enabled repositories where its supposed to be and anytime i try to apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree or install adobe-flashplayer i get nothing [23:25] phong_, now, "power management" it used to be off System->Preferences->Power Management, but I don't know how the unity interface does it [23:25] i got it [23:25] thanks [23:26] phong_, but the password thing I think is done off screensaver settings [23:26] phong_, look at *both* :) [23:26] Guinness2702, i got it man [23:27] Guinness2702, did u know megaupload was down? [23:27] shut down [23:27] I dont know if its significant but im on an imac g4 ppc with xubuntu 2.6.32-37-powerpc [23:27] urlin2u: GRUB Loading stage1.5, then GRUB loading, please wait... Error 17 [23:27] phong_, I had heard [23:27] Guinness2702, i'm sure all other file sharing company eventually fuked up [23:28] acovrig, that is after reloading the mbr, did you run a purge and reinstall, and set grub to the mbr? [23:28] Guinness2702, i dont undersand why youtube has not been shut down? people post illegal stuffs too [23:28] So i'm trying to install a mainline kernel to fixe my network problem... but i've no idea if i should take the -pae kernel or the normal one... which is similar to the "normal" kernel? [23:28] acovrig, you have another OS on the computer [23:28] Why would we not be able to enter text into the password field on the login page? [23:28] Guinness2702, is it because youtube is own by american ? [23:29] !offtopic|phong [23:29] phong: #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! [23:29] urlin2u: I did the purge, install, it asked where I wanted to install it, I chose the hdd (not the partition); I don't have another OS, but another drive (storage, non-boot) [23:29] Cocorico: if you have more then 4GB ram consider PAE, if less I'd to 486/686 whatever is available. [23:29] phong_, I don't know the details, but youtube, i believe, will remove copyrighted content when asked - don't know anythign about megaupload, but anyway, this is offtopic [23:29] Cocorico: s/to/go/ [23:29] there is without -pae or with -pae... i have 8GB of ram, is the default kernel in ubuntu pae? [23:30] Cocorico: i believe so [23:30] ok, thanks [23:30] acovrig, since you can boot the cd run the bootscript and pastebin the results.txt. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [23:30] Cocorico: PAE allows more then 4GB memory to be used by system (BUT, it's a hack - and slows the entire system down, a little bit) [23:30] btw, is there no 64 bit version of the OS for intel processors? [23:31] Cocorico: amd64 is for intel too. [23:31] i only saw i386 vs amd64 when choosing what to download [23:31] which os ? [23:31] oh. [23:31] i see. [23:31] i took the wrong one then :-) [23:31] =) [23:31] acovrig, it may give you the info you need so post if needed it is a what is where readout very helpful. [23:31] which os r u talking about ? [23:32] well, i heard 32 bit was more stable, so let's call it a deliberate choice. [23:32] Cocorico: is you "really" want to use that 8GB of RAM you should use amd64 (but 32 bit is "easier") [23:32] haha g4 ppc cpu i have one of those [23:33] powermac g4 [23:33] urlin2u: when I booted into the rescue mode this time the OS is at /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sdb1 [23:33] yeah i should have used the "normal" ubuntu website, it's much clearer than on xubuntu :p [23:33] Cocorico, I use 64bit AMD with 8GB of ram, and I never have problems [23:34] acovrig, always run a fdisk -l to make sure your know whats up when booting with a thumb the drives can get reversed. [23:34] acovrig: the reason you should use UUIDs or LABELs in fstab === Ibis is now known as Guest55258 [23:34] zykotick9: I do, I've known to do this for quite some time now [23:35] zykotick9, why is 32-bit easlier? I use 64 without problem [23:36] Guinness2702: it's more a historic "easier" these days, getting better all the time (but there are still some issues) [23:37] i haven't had an issue with 64bit for years [23:37] Guinness2702: zsnes is an example ;) [23:38] zykotick9, ahh, right, yeah, I remember now - used to be the case that not a lot of things were compiled for 64-bit right?? [23:38] how do i remoun t my root ro, so i can copy it to another filesystem? [23:38] Guinness2702: they still aren't... [23:39] zykotick9, I don't use zsnes...in fact, I don't use a hell of a lot, but I've never failed to get something I want for 64 bit === txdv is now known as txdv2 [23:39] scientes_, look at the remount option of mount [23:39] with cp -ax * /foo [23:39] Guinness2702, i used mount -t ext4 -o remount,ro / [23:39] but it didn't work [23:39] Guinness2702: i've used amd64 for years successfully, but "sometimes" it's more work then 32bit [23:40] that was 5 years ago [23:40] mount -o remount,ro / [23:40] mount: / is busy [23:40] zykotick9, well either you're unlucky or I'm lucky :) [23:40] ahh shii === Lynx is now known as Guest72318 [23:40] scientes_, yeah, I wasn't sure if you would be able to do that [23:40] Guinness2702, would it be bad if i did it with the sysrq key? === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [23:41] scientes_: boot livecd, copy from that?

[23:42] think it would work with the ro mount? [23:42] Hello, has anyone installed mediatomb on an a ubuntu server? [23:42] scientes_: why not use livecd [23:42] scientes_, yeah, if you've got anything running that expects to be able to write to disk and it suddenly finds its stream has become RO, it may screw things up big - especially if something is in the middle of a write [23:42] *without [23:43] urlin2u: http://paste.ubuntu.com/813727/ is from the bootinfoscript [23:43] One of my machines (10.04) has Xorg go haywire and the monitor remains black after being idle/powersave. Seemingly similar to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze [23:43] acerimmer, how do I take a screenshot [23:43] <_mike_> If i wanted to leave windows, what is an alternative to Outlook [23:43] scientes_, why can't you just boot off a cd and do the copy? [23:43] can someone help me fix suspend/hibernate? im using 11.10 on a hp tc1100 [23:44] _mike_: thunderbird [23:44] thunderbird is a good alternative [23:44] _mike_: thunderbird [23:44] yeah ^^ [23:44] hey [23:44] _mike you may find problems if your mailserver is Exchange [23:44] thunderbird is coo [23:44] yaboo: applications>accessories>take screenshot [23:45] _mike_, but if it's standard POP or IMAP, you'll be fine [23:45] does anyone have experience installing mediatomb on an ubuntu server [23:45] Alt + PrintScreen on keyboard > yaboo [23:45] krozzi: whats your question [23:45] <_mike_> ok thanks [23:45] or just PrintScreen for the whole desktop > yaboo [23:46] silvertip257, thanks [23:46] acerimmer, ok,where do I post the image too [23:46] can someone help me fix suspend/hibernate? im using 11.10 on a hp tc1100??

[23:46] I am thinking about installingit on my ubuntu server and wanted to know if its straight forward or if it requires alot of work [23:46] does anybody here have experience with virtualbox? [23:46] urgodfather, you need to explain what the problem is first [23:46] Explodingpiglets, probably, yes [23:46] _mike_: mutt (just joking, it's a cli program, but amazing) [23:47] howdy folks, is there any way to boot an iso image (or its contents) from grub off of a hard drive? [23:47] Explodingpiglets: yes. talk [23:47] krozzi: its in the repositories, will work fine [23:47] irc [23:47] acovrig, as I thought you have grub legacy in the sdb drive make sure your booting the sda [23:47] ppc is the best [23:47] !! [23:47] Guinness2702, it fails to hibernate and cannot return from suspend [23:48] acerimmer, imagebin.org/194976 [23:48] mister2, I believe grub might do this - google for "grub boot iso" or similar [23:48] Ben64: will it serve up ISO's? [23:48] krozzi: mediatomb is for media, not disc images [23:48] guiness2702 i was hoping for a link... satellite internet is definitely not conductive to trying to find information [23:49] yaboo: and you completely installed win7 [23:49] is there a ppa for adobe flash player to keep up to date ? [23:49] acerimmer, how else would I have, it boots win7, just installed drivers or updates [23:50] acovrig, at least make sure your booting the HD with ubuntu. [23:50] Ben64: I figured that was the case. Do you know of any CLI programs that I might have run and convert the images? [23:50] BabyGirl: if using Firefox, use the FlashAid plugin, that'll alert you in case of an update [23:50] krozzi: from what... to what [23:50] yaboo: that's what I was asking. [23:50] urlin2u: wow, all that work and frustration, all I had to do was switch the HDDs in the boot order of the BIOS, and it boots just find :| [23:50] acerimmer, why do I need to do more [23:50] Ben64: From ISO to something mediatomb can use like mpge4 or MKV [23:51] for win7 to be seen [23:51] krozzi: you can mount isos [23:51] yaboo: researching now... [23:51] acovrig, I would call this a aha moment eh. :) [23:51] yaboo: by the numbers then. first, did you md5 check the ubuntu so we know it's a good .iso? [23:51] mister2, - your internet can't handle a couple of web pages? [23:51] acerimmer, I installed in7 via usb dvd, and left it at straight install [23:52] urlin2u: yup, like when you can't find the phone, thats in your hand sorta thing [23:52] acerimmer, yes I have done a md5 check [23:52] acovrig, that bootscript is your best tool around to see what is going on. [23:52] szal,is not on sypnatic :( [23:52] I have used the same usb key install on another machine and it worked [23:52] guiness2702 try 5-20 kbps and see how you like it :P i'm looking around now, but it's been taking a while so i thought i'd ask on here again [23:52] BabyGirl: no, but in Firefox [23:52] also it worked as a straight install with no win7 [23:52] Ben64: I know I can mount it but I have about 7TB's of images I would like to be able to script something to convert 1 ISO at a time and dump it into a new dir. [23:52] acerimmer, so I'm assuming there is something with win7 [23:53] krozzi: you can't convert isos because it is an image, not a format for media [23:53] yaboo: don't assume that. run sudo fdisk -lu plz. I'm looking at http://askubuntu.com/questions/85833/installer-doesnt-detect-existing-partition-table-windows-7-partition [23:53] sudo fdisk -lu [23:53] mister2, ouch, sympathy..... how the hell did you get an ISO over that? [23:54] If I run sudo it asks for my passowrd, can I make it ask for root's passowrd (like su does) [23:54] !root [23:54] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:54] well at night i get anywhere from 20-40 on a good downlaod. i can get about a gig in 8 hours via torrent, http downloads i got 1.6 last night [23:54] Ben64: I figured as much as well. Just going to be alot of work to re-rip everything and convert it manually [23:54] anyone? [23:54] urgodfather: anyone what? [23:54] guiness2702, but yeah, it's no fun [23:55] acerimmer, ok done the fdisk and sees the win7 partition but as a w95 fat32 (LBA), thought odd,should be ntfs [23:55] Ben64: I appreciate the help, I have to run for now. Have a good one [23:55] urgodfather: is your swap partition larger then your physical memory? [23:55] yaboo: paste a pic [23:55] zykotick9 yes [23:55] mister2, okay, well I did a quick google - this sounds like it might help http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/how-to-boot-iso-with-grub2-easy-way.html [23:56] urgodfather: ok, just checking. suspend/hibernate can be a pain. good luck. [23:56] guiness2702 awesome! i'll let you know in a bit if it looks like it'll work and when i start to try it [23:56] There are good tutorials for making suspending and hybernate working :) [23:57] acerimmer, imagebin.org/194977 [23:57] hello... question about transmission.. i added a ppa from their site in order to get a newer version.. now i want to uninstall it.. i did apt-remove --purge transmission, then autoclean... which transmission returns nothing, yet it is still in menu and if clicked still works... any suggestions [23:57] ? [23:57] zykotick9, theres a workaround for earlier versions but im not that familiar with differences that have been changed from then to now [23:57] mister2, past my bedtime, I won't be here that long ;) [23:58] yaboo: looks like part of that got cut off at the top - the line about GPT. Precisely the error the guy had http://askubuntu.com/questions/85833/installer-doesnt-detect-existing-partition-table-windows-7-partition [23:58] yaboo, paste the whole url [23:58] guiness2702 looks perfect! i think i'll have to grab an ubuntu machine to test it on before i screw up the main windows (ugh) machine [23:58] mister2, have fun [23:58] yaboo, sorry I got it [23:58] ciao [23:59] what is the keyboard shortcut to select all in konsole? [23:59] yaboo, you have a wubi install === ewokbot is now known as haylo [23:59] Hello guys. [23:59] urlin2u, wubi? [23:59] yaboo, you installed ubuntu from windows right?
