[00:57] nancy--, because they can.

[00:59] flowerpot: yeah, I think I sort of crossed the line, in that I wanted to find a 10.04/Lucid AMI, couldn't find one, so just picked out the simplest Lucid one and prayed for the best. Amazon was thankfully very understanding and waived my charges after I killed those instances. [00:59] flowerpot: cool, what's it built on? slackware?

[01:23] aBound: i use either xfce or xmonad [01:23] MK13, Ubuntu is like the distro where you can just go about your business like Mint. :P [01:23] xmonad never used that before or ever heard of it. [01:23] ActionParsnip thanks. Where do I add that? [01:24] aBound: it's just a window manager, not a DE. Windows can be managed using only the keyboard [01:24] is unity available for any other distro? === bonhoffer_ is now known as bonhoffer [01:24] MK13, Sounds like you like it for it's keyboard shortcuts. [01:24] hehe [01:24] evernoob: every other ubuntu sure. not sure beyond that... [01:24] evernoob: no [01:24] aBound: not much else to like it for [01:24] evernoob: nope. a few people where trying, i believe they man have given up - "too many bugs" [01:25] evernoob: http://www.thevarguy.com/2012/01/23/why-dont-other-linux-distros-use-unity-a-few-thoughts/ [01:25] MK13, True that it does look ugly but I'm sure it can be useful. [01:25] I dont think halt is working the laptop is saying "will now halttooth" but its still working :S [01:26] I personally hate it - but one thing keping me from persevering is the thought that it "locks me in" to ubuntu medium term [01:26] hello, my audio is not woking [01:26] oh well I guess I just have to push the power button for 8secs again [01:26] hello, how can i fix wlan0? it says its for ethernet but its working as wireless how do i change it back? [01:26] Is there a channel for Ubuntu Precise? [01:26] !precise [01:26] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [01:27] acerimmer, Thanks. [01:27] pjs: #ubuntu+1 [01:28] My audio is not working [01:28] evernoob: you can install xfce4, log off, log in to xfce session and not use unity.. [01:28] ActionParsnip, sorry? [01:29] jediael: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [01:29] pjs: the channel for Precise is #ubuntu+1 [01:29] Action, yes, I do [01:29] jediael: and can you expand on 'not working', it doesn't tell us much [01:29] i am not able to hear any audio [01:29] <[[thufir]]> why does gksu give a syntax error? http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1460013 I'm following the upgrade guide [01:30] narkotik: what wireless card? [01:30] evernoob: so how are you "locked in"? [01:30] [[thufir]]: 'sudo gksu' o_O [01:30] ActionParsnip i am not able to hear audio [01:30] jediael: from speakers? over HDMI? from headphones? [01:30] halt and shutdown -h now dont seem to work with my laptop while plugged, does anyone still have any suggestions for this ? [01:30] [[thufir]]: you can't "run" an iso eitehr [01:31] max_noob: what model system?? [01:31] Could anyone help me with setting up X to work with dual monitors, each with its own video card? - specifically a laptop with one of those "Optimus" NVidia cards which collaborates with a weaker intel chipset card? I can't seem to get the display plugged directly into the nvidia card's port to function [01:31] max_noob: poweroff reboot ? they may be aliases of shutdown [01:31] ActionParsnip, thanks. I'll ask there too. Unless you just wanna tell me the file name? :) [01:31] max_noob: two seperate commands btw [01:32] what I meant was, time spent learning and customising Unity is applicable to Ubuntu only - I did use quotes for "locked in" [01:32] How do I disable/change the unity launcher shortcut? (super/windows key by default) [01:32] so I try sudo poweroff ? [01:32] max_noob: yea, it just might work [01:32] <[[thufir]]> I ran sudo as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades which says to use gksu on the iso. [01:32] ActionParsnip: from any of sources. [01:33] how do i comunicae with u only ? [01:33] jediael: ok, run the command in a terminal and select to upload to the server, it will make a URL. What is the URL? [01:33] since normal restart works, and shutdown if its unplugged [01:33] pjs: file name of what? [01:33] jediael: /msg but ask if it's ok first [01:34] ActionParsnip, I assume to edit the boot option so I can add : text to it. I just dont want the WM to run at boot [01:34] oh ok [01:34] [[thufir]]: you need to follow those directions more carefully. You need to mount the ISO first, then run a file from the mounted iso. you're trying to run the iso. [01:34] evernoob: user tend to customise their desktop, its just something different to tweak [01:34] max_noob: i actually think i remember my old laptop doing that... I always just used reboot and pushed the power button at BIOS [01:34] pjs: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [01:34] max_noob: an update eventually fixed it [01:34] MK13, Have a good one I'm hopping outta here. [01:35] ActionParsnip: thank you! [01:35] evernoob: persevering is the thought that it "locks me in" to ubuntu is what you said... [01:35] sudo poweroff worked but I wonder if there was a way to fix this in order for the normal button to work [01:36] isn't 8 minutes a lot of clock drift for 55days? [01:36] xim_: you could cron a job to sync time every few hours or so to keep it accurrate [01:36] depends on how fast you're going [01:37] or I wonder if there is anyway to contact a developer about this, I already tried 12.04 alpha 1 and it has the same bug has 11.10 :( [01:37] ActionParsnip: So just add "text" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" line in /etc/default/grub file? [01:37] anybody good with wireless 'broadcom 4306/3' [01:38] not working o natty [01:38] ActionParsnip, thanks [01:38] on* [01:38] ActionParsnip: or do I just uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL=console ? [01:38] it says information uploaded to sever [01:38] are there any packages that will conflict with firmwareb43install [01:39] pjs: adding the boot option is the way I know, not sure about GRUB_TERMINAL [01:39] ActionParsnip, ok so add it to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT? [01:39] max_noob: precise is only suported in #ubuntu+1 until release day. I suggest you report a bug [01:39] <[[thufir]]> zykotick9: I did mount it as so: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1460014 and I can see it on my desktop. [01:39] pjs: the line that says: quiet splash add the option in the quotes [01:39] how do I repport a bug ? [01:39] max_noob, you would file a bug report, if it is a bug. [01:40] Terminal says to me to tell you it has been uploaded [01:40] pjs: then save and close the file and run: sudo update-grub [01:40] max_noob: ubuntu-bug packagename [01:40] !tab | max_noob [01:40] max_noob: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:40] [[thufir]]: you're still trying to run the iso image... [01:40] jediael: yes, paste the URL in here please [01:40] sry for the dumb question but I really dont know how to report bugs in ubunto [01:40] [[thufir]]: also, gksu (or gksudo) REPLACED sudo - you don't need "sudo gksu ..." [01:41] ActionParsnip: thanks again man [01:41] ping [01:41] -Ping- genewitch : 2.69 second/s [01:41] it gave me no url [01:41] max_noob, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [01:41] can you give me the code again ? [01:41] jediael: when prompted, select YES to upload and a URL will be generated [01:42] Hello, how is everyone? I had a quick question troubleshooting my ubuntu 11.10 server installation. I installed the same OS on 2 different servers and I'm experiencing the same problem. What happens is I turn on the server, it's ok for few hours, and then when I try to SSH to it, it get a time out, when I plug in the keyboard, and type something then I can connect to it again. Seems that it's [01:42] going to some kind of sleep mode. Note, no desktop was installed just pure server OS. Anyone had this issue before? what could cause it? Thanks [01:42] ok [01:42] i checked syslog and kernel log there's nothing there === auk is now known as UnknownSpork === steve___ is now known as Guest8955 [01:45] how do i uninstall ubuntu 11.04 [01:46] ok I found out how to open the ubunto-bug window, when I select other problem and click ok I get an error message saying I need to specify a package, how do I do that ? [01:46] from a dual boot system winxP [01:46] Raymond_: install your new OS over it [01:47] its taking too long [01:47] it says uploading info [01:47] ActionParsnip: hrmm, I did that and the update-grub call and now it's just hanging at startup after "checking battery state"... grrr [01:47] !tab [01:47] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[01:51] How can it be that when I do 'md5sum -t text.txt" where test.txt is "jstoone" and the md5 sum differs from what goog.li gets? [01:51] I* [01:51] oh :( thanks alot anyway I leat I managed to open apport XD [01:52] max_noob: to report bugs you do need to know the affected package name. what are you having problems with?

[01:52] !ask | VoidMNE [01:52] VoidMNE: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[01:52] well a laptop that doesent shutdown while its pulleg in so I'm guessing its the kernel or something like that [01:53] plugged* [01:53] max_noob: sorry i'm not sure what package that would be, good luck.

I now have internet, but cant resolve names? [01:58] Al_nz1: name resolution is done with DNS, do you have a local DNS server? [01:58] i installed ubuntu on my laptop and it cant seem to recognize when i insert a dvd in the dvd tray, nothing happens. what should i do [01:58] Al_nz1: somewhere on the network?

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, on a Samsung QX411-W01 with Optimus GPU-switching (between a nVidia GeForce 520M and a Intel HD Graphics 3000). I've had hardware acceleration working before with Ironhide, but it doesn't seem to work now. [01:59] How do I connect to a XDMCP server from Lightdm? [01:59] VoidMNE: what data is on the DVD? [01:59] Al_nz1: I guess make sure your router that does DHCP also does DNS [01:59] h00k: my linux box I just want for DHCP - router can handle all the other stuff [01:59] BlueProtoman: optimus is only supported on Windows. There is a project called Bumblebee which may help [01:59] VoidMNE, Is it a Dell laptop by chance? [02:00] h00k: I did i just entered 'jstoone' in the text field.

Google is your friend [02:05] jediael: If it's a new labtop with a new soundcard that has "dolby" sound in it, you need a pulseaudio patch for it. [02:05] CyberDawg: i googled for like 3 hours to no avail, everything i tried didnt work [02:05] jediael: DO you mean how to access the settings? VoidMNE: Can you access the disc through Nautilus (the file manager)? [02:05] Al_nz1: I'd recommend doing DNS/DHCP on the same machine, whichever you prefer [02:05] jediael, have you checked additional drivers [02:06] cheapie: the dvd doesnt show anywhere, so no [02:06] h00k: Thank you for the info, I'm glad for the feedback.

[02:09] s/sould/would/ [02:09] urlin2u said that there is an app called dditional drivers [02:09] zykotick9: nope [02:09] VoidMNE: the system doesn't think you have a cd/dvd drive right now. I don't have any suggestions, sorry. [02:09] VoidMNE: Try "ls -l /dev/ > ~/devices" and open the created file, and put it on pastebin for us to see. [02:09] jediael, you running the unity desktop?

[02:15] VoidMNE: don't compare linux to XP :P they're different beasts [02:15] Sach: There's no supported way to do that. You'll have to go 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04. If you're willing to wait a few more months and want 12.04, you can upgrade directly from 10.04 to 12.04 [02:15] :P [02:15] <[[thufir]]> Sach: you have to upgrade like three or four times. download alternate cd's [02:15] VoidMNE: Is it some odd nonstandard drive?

[02:16] thurfri, is it not possible to bypass what I dont want (ie go directly from 9.10 to 11.04?) [02:16] <[[thufir]]> Sach: just free space on hard drive [02:16] CyberDawg: Hell yes! [02:16] Well, I want to remove numbers from the start of the file name, but I want to learn to fish rather then just get a fish, if you know what I mean, and I can't find any explanations of what the charictors do like ^ and such [02:16] <[[thufir]]> Sach: nope. I have to do it twice. you, like four times. [02:16] well guys i am using a simple script restarter.sh on my ubuntu for a program iwant to be up 24/7 so i got an infinite loop that runs and restarts a program in an sh form. This loop was working just fine but since yesterday for somereason it seems to be broken :S [02:16] Hello [02:16] VoidMNE: as i said, dont compare the two :P Just because something worked in Windows doesnt mean it works out of the box with Linux :P [02:16] anyone can help me wiht this? [02:16] Sach: There's no supported method. If you're willing to venture outside of supported methods (meaning it may not work), then you can try it, yes. [02:17] EvilResistance: its not like im trying to do anything advanced. i just want my laptop to read dvds [02:17] trying to install Win98 on VirtualBox OSE (i've never done anything like it before). it doesn't want to boot the installation CD at all [02:17] what might be the problem? [02:17] I seen somewhere it mentions it is perl === yyyyyyyy is now known as Jogranda [02:17] Titanoboa: try #vbox [02:18] thanks [02:18] ActionParsnip: So I had to not use "text" but remove "splash" and then do "echo 'manual' > /etc/init/lightdm.override" and that did the job [02:18] So Should I have to learn a little bit of perl to know what I am doing? [02:18] Hello [02:18] Sach: I'd hold on til April and clean install Precise LTS. Or use the Alpha2 release now... [02:18] jediael: I'm still searching...this might take a few minutes... [02:18] CaptAnon, perl is not bash [02:18] CaptAnon: something like "rename 's/^[0-9]*//' *.bak" should work for files ending in .bak.....but test *very* carefully first. I make no promises and have not tested it. [02:18] pjs: sweet, I'm guessing you ran: sudo -i first, or the echo command would fail [02:18] Anyone know how to stop Oracle Virtual Box from crashing X? [02:19] CaptAnon, You are trying to rename a file from the command line? Is that correct? [02:19] sunboy: I'd ask in #vbox [02:19] actionparsnip yea :) [02:19] sunboy: are you using the OSE? [02:19] thx? [02:19] ActionParsnip: thanks again for the help! [02:19] ActionParsnip: Just downloaded 4.0 and 4.1 from the site [02:19] hey ActionParsnip [02:20] could someone please help me with dhcpd config on ubuntu? I cant seem to get dns resolution === snowrichard_ is now known as snowrichard [02:20] infact I am not even sure if I am running dhcpd or dhcpd3 ? [02:21] Al_nz1: run: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf and you will have a web DNS setup [02:21] sunboy: then I'd ask in #vbox [02:21] jediael: OK... try sudo insmod snd-via82xx [02:21] well guys i am using a simple script restarter.sh on my ubuntu for a program iwant to be up 24/7 so i got an infinite loop that runs and restarts a program in an sh form. This loop was working just fine but since yesterday for somereason it seems to be broken :S [02:21] <[[thufir]]> hypothetically, what would happen were you to run out of space during an upgrade? [02:21] ActionParsnip: I would not recommend running 'sudo -i' just to get an echo to work. try 'echo "abcd" | sudo tee -a /filename' instead [02:22] jstoone: your file has a line feed at the end of it. [02:22] yes bobo37773 , Ok sbts but what is the ^ character for and what is it stopping from not removing every number from the file name sbts-tv_ , also I have allready ruined the filenames so I am just leaning how to use it better for next time [02:22] ActionParsnip: wow - that was neat [02:23] ActionParsnip: though I would like to learn where I was going wrong with my DHCP? [02:23] noone can help me? u all hate me? [02:23] All I wanted to do was transfer DHCP from my router, to my linux box for my LAN [02:23] sbarakos: I don't remember reading your question. Can you please restate it? [02:23] <[[thufir]]> sbarakos: pastebin [02:23] well guys i am using a simple script restarter.sh on my ubuntu for a program iwant to be up 24/7 so i got an infinite loop that runs and restarts a program in an sh form. This loop was working just fine but since yesterday for somereason it seems to be broken :S [02:23] ActionParsnip: that shouldnt be too hard right? [02:24] on [02:24] cheapie: there you go [02:24] k [02:24] svarakos: Can you put it up on pastebin so I can take a look at it? [02:24] <_Ryth> Is there a specific package I must install to have the ax_lua.m4 macro included with autoconf? [02:24] can i be helped now ? [02:24] jediael: OK... try sudo insmod snd-via82xx [02:24] cheapie: yess [02:25] fucked123 [02:25] opps [02:25] sorry [02:25] Al_nz1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === Jogranda is now known as metasansana [02:25] CaptAnon: the s/^[0-9]*// is a regular expression. regex for short. read the following man pages. sed, grep, regex(7) [02:25] it says no diectoy found [02:25] i should be able to do a "/msg nickserv help" for info on registering w/ nickserv correct? [02:26] sbarakos: Do you need help using pastebin? [02:26] cmolenda: yes [02:26] CaptAnon: the easiest way to read manpages is from a terminal by running (for example) 'man sed' or 'man 7 regex' [02:26] jediael: Try it with snd-hda-codec-via [02:26] cmolenda: `msg nickserv help register` to be specific [02:26] cheapie: http://pastebin.com/AxeF5F30 [02:26] <_Ryth> Or can someone explain to me how to include m4 macros in my autoconf script? [02:26] !register > cmolenda [02:26] cmolenda, please see my private message [02:26] Flannel: Ah, i'll try that. [02:26] sbarakos: Please wait while I examine the script... [02:26] Did this ever happen to you? How can you fix this? If chrome crashes, it gets fixed. http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7926/chromeissue.png [02:27] Thanks guys [02:27] Ok thanks sbts-tv_ [02:27] Is it possible to have my user logged in on my desktop (and using it) meanwhile remotely logging into the same user from my laptop (in a different session basically, but with all the programs and whatnot available)? [02:27] or am i asking too much? lol === cmolenda is now known as chadwickvm [02:28] ActionParsnip: you still here? === chadwickvm is now known as cmolenda [02:28] CaptAnon: in short the 's/a/b/' substitutes "a" for "b" in your case a='^[0-9]' and b='' [02:28] sbarakos: Does the directory the script is in have a bin subdirectory? [02:28] ye [02:28] its under bin [02:28] on root [02:28] <[[thufir]]> sbarakos: http://pastebin.com/AxeF5F30 [02:28] mordof: How would you like to log in? [02:29] sbarakos: Your script is in "/" ? [02:29] I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am new to Ubuntu, and would like to list, from the terminal, all the files in a directory containing descriptions of all the devices that can be mounted in the filesystem. The directory is already set. [02:29] cheapie: not sure? my main problem is that my current hard drives aren't share-able over the network due to mounting permissions. i haven't been able to get that to work properly [02:29] cheapie: /opt/restarter.sh [02:29] cheapie: so i'm using synergy through my laptop, but want to share files.. [02:30] CaptAnon, The "^" is used in regular expressions. Usually with grep, sed, awk etc... To just rename a file use the "mv" command [02:30] CaptAnon: for a='^[0-9]' the '^' matches the start of the line. '[0-9]' matches any digit and the '*' says that the digit will be matched 0 or more times [02:30] sbarakos: So /opt/bin/oregon-core exists, right? [02:30] nope [02:30] thats why i do cd bin [02:30] its under ~/bin/ [02:30] johnnyjimm: sudo fdisk -l should show all partitions that can be mounted [02:30] cheapie: thought - if i can't get that working right, i wondered if i could essentially log in with the same user to gain access.. but that just seams like a hackish bypas to doing the proper thing first, lol [02:30] bypass* === usuario is now known as josete [02:31] but it works, i mean it runes the problem is not with the directory, for some reason it doesnt run infinite === josete is now known as josetetec [02:31] thank you MK13 [02:31] sbarakos: Odd... === Kardos_ is now known as Kardos [02:31] mordof: So...VNC, SSH, LTSP, how are you wanting to login? You have to pick one... [02:31] yep :S [02:31] johnnyjimm: if you have just plugged in a usb device and have several, dmesg will print out that latest kernel messages and you can usually tell which device is the most recently plugged in [02:32] cheapie: VNC wouldn't work as that'd require only one user to be logged in / using the computer at the same time right? [02:32] bobo37773: CaptAnon wants to bulk rename files, this can be done using the "rename" (commandline) program that is standard on most systems. it uses regex's to do the job [02:32] Al_nz1: i'm in and out, wassup? [02:32] mordof: what are you trying to do? [02:33] mordof: I don't know. I've honestly never tried it. LTSP is rather hard to set up, but extremely versatile. SSH with X forwarding might be what you want. What are you wanting to do again? [02:33] Hey everyone [02:33] sbts-tv_, Gotcha. Never heard of it. That is why I like irc. I learned 3 new things since last night. [02:33] cheapie: get access to my main desktop's hard drives on my laptop, lol [02:33] hey, it said that there is no such file diectoy [02:33] cheapie: i should just fix the problem.. [02:33] TheWitness, Hey [02:33] mordof: Have you considered FTP? [02:33] hm [02:33] mordof: or sftp ;) [02:33] mordof: Or samba? [02:33] Does anyone know any good website to start learning about linux? [02:34] !manual | TheWitness [02:34] TheWitness: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:34] mordof: I would setup SSH on the server and access then through scp sftp [02:34] cheapie: samba doesn't work due to permissions - that's what i'm struggling with [02:34] Hi. Does anyone know what might be causing vbox to crash ubuntu 10.10? [02:34] mordof: do you want to remote access from a GUI or commandline? [02:34] mordof: Well, you might want to set up FTP or SFTP then... is this on your local network or exposed to the internet? [02:34] mordof: server = linux machine, not necessarily a server [02:34] MK13: i don't want a solution where i'm copying duplicates [02:34] sbts-tv_: gui [02:34] mordof: when you access the share, what happens? Are you asked for a username & password? [02:35] mordof: copying duplicates? [02:35] mordof: is the other computer windows or linux? [02:35] "Unable to mount location" "Failed to mount Windows share" [02:35] sunboy: I suggest you uninstall the virtualbox version, remove the PPA then install virtualbox-ose from the Ubuntu repo and try that [02:35] they're both ubuntu 11.10 [02:35] ActionParsnip: ^-- the second last post [02:35] mordof: you can mount stfp in ubuntu :D [02:36] mordof: sftp* [02:36] thank you , i will write that down [02:36] ActionParsnip: I was trying to get DHCP on my workgroup handled by my linux box rather than my router. I have turned it off on router and on, on my ubuntu box. Thats when my DNS issued started. I have entered my ISP's dns servers into my dhcpd.conf file, but that didnt help. Your fix did, but I would still like to know what the permenant fix it? [02:36] is [02:36] if that is the case, from in your file manager (on the machine you want to use the drive from) click on 'file->connect to server' then choose ssh as the protocol [02:36] johnnyjimm: no prob [02:36] ActionP: Ok, will try that. I actually didn't install from ppa. I dld the dep from their site [02:36] mordof: ^^^^ [02:36] mordof: try: smbtree do you see the shares on the samba server. Run it on both [02:36] mordof: You can also use FTP that way, but SFTP might be better. [02:36] MK13: yeah - true. but that's still bypassing my original problem of not having my paritions mounted properly [02:36] Al_nz1: you'll need dnsmasq afaik to give a DNS service [02:37] mordof: what about the partitions is incorrect, what errors is it causing? [02:37] ActionParsnip: the problem is that my hard drive is mounted from IN nautilus after login, because i suck at setting up auto mounts [02:37] so it's attached to my user - that's my guess [02:37] mordof: I would not recommend anything smb or samba or cifs (or whatever it is) unless you *have* to use windows machines [02:37] Flannel: How do I get rid of that line feed? [02:37] sbts-tv_: why? [02:37] mordof: which partition... just a data partition? [02:38] MK13: *nods* [02:38] ActionParsnip: what about "option domain-name-servers xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx" in the dhcpd.conf? isnt that what the line is supposed to do? provide dns for any DHCP clients? [02:38] sbts_tv_: why is that? [02:38] mordof: do you have the entry for it already in fstab? [02:38] hey can anyone tell me if its possible to set up a three speaker system for my music? I have a left front, right front, and a subwoofer/amplifier. [02:38] I use that for my network drive [02:38] * cheapie wonders what just happened with "Bry8Star{GB"... [02:39] like with banshee or something [02:39] <[[thufir]]> grr. ran out of space for upgrade. [02:39] mordof: samba (etc) does not handle permissions correctly, along with some horrible glitches and protocol nastyness. it was designed by microsoft for the first version of windows (pretty much) and just got worse from there [02:39] MK13: hmm.. hold on, i forgot to add it :\ lol. been so long since i've done any of this [02:39] sbts-tv_: so you're saying sftp is a better idea in general? [02:39] <_Ryth> Anyone here good with autotools? [02:39] mordof: once it is added to fstab it should be automatically added on boot [02:39] sbts-tv_: actually SMB was developed by IBM i believe [02:40] oh and i changed my nickname from "cschuck" to "starte" btw. so i was there for the whole darea convo about the windows cd partition [02:40] a hour ago or so [02:40] anyone know how to set up speakers on ubuntu? [02:41] mordof: definately. and nautilus can manage connections to remote machines automatically for you. as I said use the "connect to server" option in the nautilus "file" menu [02:41] french? [02:41] sbts-tv_: ok [02:41] Thanks very much sbts-tv_ and bobo37773 , I will get the hang of it eventualy [02:41] so i'll fix my fstab, and then set up sftp [02:41] i am going to kick a puppy if somebody doesnt start helping me [02:41] starte: :\ [02:42] starte: my speakers just worked - so no i don't know how === Bry8Star2g is now known as Bry8Star{GB [02:42] mordof: well yeah mine do too, im listning to yngwie malmsteen right now [02:42] Hello [02:42] but i have a subwoofer too [02:42] and the sound really is only coming out of the left and right front [02:42] I need help fixing the boot up of my brothers computer, it no longer boots up [02:43] Vbox ose does the same thing. kicks me out of ubuntu [02:44] mordof: wait. i just thought of something. can I partition my already created ubuntu disk drive to add more memory? [02:44] Hi can anyone help me fixing my brother's computer, I've already gone into recovery mode and tried to repair broken packages but it says that it can't connect to the internet [02:44] Hello!

[02:46] Al_nz1: not something I've used dude, sorry [02:46] danny18174363829: Try ifconfig - see if it says anything about "eth0" or "wlan0". [02:46] dannyfog: damn. is it a partition on a windows? [02:46] updating drives is a nonsensical windows response [02:46] s/drives/drivers/ [02:46] ejv: well it worked for my internet connection [02:46] ejv: Nice... [02:46] No, ubuntu is using the entire hard drive, I tried connecting it to ethernet so that it could repair system packages, but it still didnt work [02:47] dannyfog: See if "ifconfig" mentions "eth0" [02:47] does anyone know why virtualbox would crash ubuntu? [02:47] ok will let you guys know in one second [02:47] dannyfog: id wipe the bitch then. honestly, something went really screwy with the code. but get someone's advice who actaully knows ubuntu [02:47] !language | starte [02:47] starte: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[02:48] sunboy: linus recently made some very stong remarks about to poor quality of vbox kernel stuff... [02:48] haha, yeah, I kinda wanna just wipe it but my brother says he REALLY needs to keep the files that are on it [02:48] the ops care, abide by the rules or you'll find yourself removed by an Op. [02:48] zyko: wasn't doing this before. Is there a version I should be installing? [02:48] vite: You arrived just after somebody complained that they would kick a puppy if we didn't help them. We're just *usually* nice. [02:48] dannyfog:did he use ubuntu one? [02:49] cheapie: settle down [02:49] I was wondering. regarding the U C, is there anyway of installing the clound on terminal + nodes... and just installing a lamp on the terminal without installing virtual instances [02:49] sunboy: https://www.virtualbox.org/report/12 [02:49] would it make the nodes work as one lamp? [02:50] No, he never used it. But I think something involving Wine messed it up, because he was trying to update the firmware to his mp3 player using an EXE on his computer and then the next time he tried it out it woulldnt boot [02:50] or would I need to setup eucalyptus and install instances individually? [02:50] starte: Yeah, I think I'm going insane from helping here for too long.

(total n00b here, sorry) [03:08] Xourii: no apology req'd. what version of ubuntu do you have. [03:09] xourii: it'd be on the left of your screen i believe. I'm still kind of a noob too [03:09] xourii: doubleclick on the currently running app and X number of windows will pop up [03:09] starte: 'cool story bro' does that look like a helpful response?? [03:09] I mean, like at the bottom of the screen, like in XP or 7 [03:09] starte: this is not 4chan [03:10] Xourii: yes. what version of ubuntu do you have??? [03:10] 11.04 [03:10] Kcharle: "apt-cache search backports" do you see anything about a key? perhaps? i have no idea man, sorry I never used backports on ubuntu. [03:10] dies_irae: posting a random line of code without a question attached seemed like you made a mistake and accidentally posted that here [03:10] zykotick9: is there a way to disable it or something? [03:10] dies_irae: my apologies for making a joke [03:11] how about waiting a lil for more? [03:11] Kcharle: software sources [03:11] zykotick9: that's where he runs into problems tho [03:11] dannyfog: if there are some file that *really* need to be kept, just boot the machine from a live cd (like you would before doing a reinstall) then use file manager (nautilus) to mount the drive and copy wanted files off to another disk. should be easy, in many cases it is enough to make a complete copy of the /home directory [03:11] I'm running 11.04 [03:11] dies_irae: http://linux-mm.org/OOM_Killer [03:11] starte: i'm not shocked ;) [03:12] I think so bobo37773 [03:13] trism: that wasn't my question. [03:13] after this last firefox OOM my sound is gone but Left/Right test do work [03:13] what happened? [03:13] CaptAnon: your question doesn't make much sense. What do you want a GUI without a desktop? A GUI is the desktop??? [03:13] trying to run "apt-get install update-manager-core" and getting "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?" ---- help? [03:13] dannyfog: if it blew up after running a windows exe, don't discount the possibility of malicious software. in theory it shouldn't happen, but who knows [03:13] So is it possible? [03:14] all the cards are gone from systems settings, you know where you move up and down. [03:14] only remains pulse [03:14] CaptAnon, I think you need some kind of window manager to run a gui. Unless you wrote a gui that was also a wm. [03:14] how to fix this? [03:14] Xourii: you've got unity. I've got gnome. sorry. I'm sure there's an applet, but someone who runs 11.04/11.10 may be able to help [03:14] sbs-tv, thanks for the advice about the live cd, I think I'll do it [03:14] dies_irae: you never asked that question before now [03:14] Ok, thanks [03:14] Will it matter if it was password protected?? [03:14] dies_irae: try: kilall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* [03:15] in 'Device Pereference' cads be gone [03:15] start, zykotick9 : just unchecked the 4th box in the software sources [03:15] sbs-tv: thanks for the advice about the live cd, I think I'll do it [03:15] CaptAnon, You can just use X if you want. [03:16] ActionParsnip: w00t [03:16] ActionParsnip: actually your first command failed but sound is back with only second command oO [03:17] i'm trying to get dropbox running on a headless ubuntu server. whenever I try to launch it, it just hangs at the console rather than giving any useful output - does anybody have any experience with it or suggestions? [03:17] Does Ubuntu use network manager? [03:17] Metroshica: sed is the right tool. try something like 'sed "s/$OldNumber/$NewNumber/" filename' once the output looks right to you, just add the -i option to edit inplace. you may need to have more than just the number to prevent a number elsewhere in the file from being killed. [03:17] Ziefin: yes [03:17] Hi - Using the latest Ubuntu with Gnome Shell - seems as though the hotkey for overview is set to only the left side Windows key. Can this be set to the right side key? I've had no luck with google. If I go Keyboard>System>Show the activies overview it will not accept a single key as a hotkey, only a combination (eg Super+Space) [03:18] I know this is an Ubuntu room...but what flavor of *nix is the best for webhosting besides RHEL [03:18] !ot | Ziefin [03:18] Ziefin: #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! [03:18] bobo37773, Can I not open up one gui program with out having a desktop? [03:18] Ziefin, You mean for a server? [03:18] ActionParsnip: now there are way too many devices :/ [03:19] CaptAnon: to open ANY Xorg programs, you need Xorg (shocking) [03:19] dies_irae: That defaults your sound options to default [03:19] dies_irae: its a really good first move for sound [03:20] zykotick9: really? weird [03:20] ;) [03:20] CaptAnon, I do not know what "desktop" means. But if you are saying what I think you are then zykotick9 is right. [03:20] CaptAnon: what app do you need? There may be a cli version.. [03:20] CaptAnon, What are you trying to do? [03:20] CaptAnon: or equiv [03:22] i am trying to setup a vpn server that i can connect my ipod to via pptp [03:22] i cannot find my error, but everytime i attempt to connect i get a fail error from my ipod [03:22] can someone help me narrow down the causes? [03:24] CaptAnon: There's also xvfb - Virtual Framebuffer 'fake' X server [03:24] i used this guide http://eran.sandler.co.il/2010/08/30/pptp-vpn-on-ubuntu-10-04-for-your-iphone-ipad/ === talos is now known as Guest68782 [03:25] wow, i think it worked [03:25] I would like to use ubuntu with out the gui(the desktop) [03:25] one sec [03:25] i was wondering if anyone can help me setup a telnet server? [03:25] hi guise, i'm havig trouble with xubuntu 10.10, for somereason it says gedit isn't available im guessing this has something to do with my package list [03:25] djcobra: telnet for what...? [03:26] ActionParsnip: fixed, thanks [03:26] Guest68105, I think you want leafpad [03:26] so i can remotely connect to my xubuntu box from work (using windows telnet) [03:26] dagerik: no shouldn't matter. you will just need to put in the password as you mount the drive. that is if it was drive level password. if just user password then won't matter at all. [03:26] djcobra: would be best to use ssh and then get a ssh client like putty for windows [03:26] Guest68782, I think you want leafpad [03:26] CaptAnon: Oh, that's easy. Just get the "ubuntu server" distro (or the ubuntu "alternative" cd image---and then don't install X). [03:26] i think i dont [03:27] djcobra: FYI telnet sends all passwords in clear text, so if anyone eavesdrops on your connection - they have your password(s) [03:27] CaptAnon: Or install Debian. :) [03:27] dannyfog: no shouldn't matter. you will just need to put in the password as you mount the drive. that is if it was drive level password. if just user password then won't matter at all. [03:27] okay [03:27] i have sshd running but having trouble connecting to it [03:27] i type in sudo *etc et* gedit but it says no such package [03:27] Guest68782, gedit isn't ruh in xubuntu it is leafpad same thing [03:27] run [03:27] djcobra: any error messages? [03:27] maybe i haven't set it up right [03:28] when i try to login via my windows machine, putty disapears [03:28] djcobra: can you connect from the machine to itself with ssh? [03:28] dwon, and how will I change between progams in this or will it be possible? The main reason I wan't to do this is to force myself to get better at the command line [03:28] Guest68782: sidenote: DON'T use sudo with GUI apps, use gksu instead. [03:28] djcobra: is the computer you want to connect to the server or desktop version of ubuntu? [03:28] urlin2u: you can install gedit in xubuntu though ;) [03:28] zykotick9: isn't it gksudo? [03:28] !gksudo [03:28] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:28] its a desktop [03:28] !gksu [03:28] ActionParsnip, I know I was just telling them the stock set up. [03:29] zykotick9: thanks .-. [03:29] CaptAnon: LeftAlt-F1, LeftAlt-F2, LeftAlt-F3, etc. and/or you can install the "screen" package and use that. [03:29] pnorman: similar but slightly different :) [03:29] where's firefox history in plain text?? [03:29] I need it [03:29] urlin2u: logical [03:29] i mean sudo apt-get install sudo [03:29] I can't start firefox cuz got 400 tabs. [03:29] :| [03:29] pnorman: both should work [03:29] *sudo apt-get install gedit [03:29] DX [03:30] cool, Thanks dwon [03:30] djcobra: how much have you already done w/ ssh? [03:30] CaptAnon: If you want to avoid using the GUI, you're probably better off using Debian, though. Ubuntu works fine as a CLI-only distro, but Debian probably has more users who use it that way. [03:30] dwon: ;) [03:30] MK13, i can login using: ssh (internal ip) in the xterm and connects [03:30] dies_irae: its stored in historyMINE.dat [03:31] but having trouble when i'm in windows [03:31] But I would like to return to normal after I improve my skills dwon [03:31] dies_irae: found this: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=509305 [03:31] i believe i have both ssh and sshd installed [03:31] djcobra: when you are windows, are you still in your local network? [03:31] djcobra: you'd need to forward port 22 (by default) to your ubuntu box from your router, to get outside connections [03:31] yep [03:31] djcobra: can you ping the system? [03:31] zykotick9: you keep stealing my thunder :) [03:31] djcobra: are you connecting with an account on the allowed list? [03:32] Hello [03:32] i've set up the router to forward to the xubuntu box [03:32] MK13: sorry ;) [03:32] djcobra: if its on the LAN the forwarding won't matter [03:32] oh... even if my windows box is on a different ip [03:32] Can I not boot into CLI only? [03:33] djcobra: as long as it is on your lan port forwarding won't matter [03:33] djcobra: each PC on the network will have a different IP [03:33] CaptAnon: sure, add the boot option: text [03:33] okay.. so why am i having trouble when i try to connect remotely (work) [03:33] While installing Chef, I had to modify my path to include a certain directory. Since Chef relies on commands in this directory to do its business, and it looks like it assumes the path is set correctly, I want to make sure that this directory is always contained in the path whenever a command is run from any shell. How can I do that? [03:33] djcobra: if you don't work at home then you most likely aren't on the same lan [03:33] even if my router has been adjusted to forward to that xubuntu box [03:34] djcobra: check the port forwarding in the router, you need to forward port 22/TCP to the IP of the system running the SSH service [03:34] djcobra: are you able to connect to it from another machine while at home? [03:34] okay let me check [03:34] MK13, yes [03:34] djcobra: there are websites to scan for open ports which you can use to see if it's working [03:34] djcobra: you may need to reboot the router too, some home grade routers need taht [03:34] flowerpot: see .profile [03:35] zykotick9, isn't that only for login shells? [03:35] Quick question: can somebody explain the difference between a "thin client" and a "zero client"? [03:35] you can tell the popular problems to help fix... they get 3+ people helping, lol [03:35] Hey, could someone help me out with a problem I'm having logging in. [03:36] pseudomander: What's the problem? [03:36] cheapie, sounds like jargon/buzzwords to me...a thin client is just a client that doesn't have a lot of software/hardware installed and usually exists only to interface with something else that does have the main stuff [03:36] cheapie: zero clients have no local OS, they boot via PXE and rely solely on the network [03:36] flowerpot: it's a thing [03:36] zykotick9, my goal is to ensure that the directory is included in the path for every possible shell [03:37] I was thinking a paper about this --> 'However, recent study of the VP4 protein has shown it to be highly conserved amongst many serotypes of Human rhinovirus,[11] opening up the potential for a future pan-serotype Human rhinovirus vaccine.' [03:37] oops [03:37] damn wrong chan [03:37] ActionParsnip: So I *am* using a "zero client". Thanks! [03:37] I tried to add a code to my startup programs tab [03:37] ActionParsnip, didn't know that! thanks for explaining [03:37] flowerpot: and i think you'll find .profile will do that for you. but i'm no 100% [03:37] Cool, ActionParsnip How would I go about that? [03:37] but I made an error in the code and can't login to remove it. [03:37] can I just click a button during start up? [03:37] djcobra: what ip are you using to access your server while at work? [03:37] No, That would be too easy [03:37] CaptAnon: Go about what? [03:37] booting in text mode [03:37] zykotick9, unfortunately bash only reads ~/.profile when it is invoked as a login shell [03:38] anyone know if the last round of updates to 11.10 might have caused focus issues? [03:38] Is there any way to startx without it running the startup files? [03:38] !text | CaptAnon [03:38] CaptAnon: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [03:38] flowerpot: use .bashrc then? [03:38] pseudomander: Not that I know of. [03:38] pseudomander: startup files like what? [03:38] flowerpot: i still believe it's .profile you want though... [03:38] cool, Thanks very much, Now I am off into the unknown, Cheers ActionParsnip [03:39] flowerpot: the ~/bin PATH is established in .profile - that certainly applies to all terminals (login or not) [03:39] zykotick9, it seems ~/.bashrc is only invoked if the shell is interactive but not a login shell [03:40] hello! [03:40] a command I added to system>>preferences>>startup applications [03:41] did a port test... said it passed and it's stealth [03:41] djcobra: stealth means it's not accepting connections [03:42] djcobra: you want 22 to be open... [03:42] zykotick9, the trick, i guess, is that I don't really know where PATH is originally defined. it doesn't seem like /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc cover all possible cases, but i could be wrong [03:42] yes [03:42] pseudomander: in the login screen you can change to failsafe session type [03:42] djcobra: Actually, stealth also means that it is simply not responding. [03:42] was about to ask, how do you open it.. is there a script i need to edit [03:42] djcobra: When you start a program that needs it, it should open... [03:43] please bare with me.. i've been out of the linux game for awhile. college days. [03:43] umm [03:43] ? [03:43] flowerpot: where $PATH origionates is a bit of a mystery to me (and i've looked into it a couple of times). I'd just try ~/.profile and test. [03:43] for some reason it isn't open... [03:43] hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu on a windows 7 virtualbox [03:43] pseudomander: check /etc/xdg/autostart and see if what you added is in there? [03:44] should i use 10 lts or 11? [03:44] djcobra: What port is it, and what are you trying to run that listens on it? [03:44] and should i use the windows installer? [03:44] doesnt every path start at / which means root [03:44] i'd like to open up port 22 [03:44] or 23 [03:44] Buhdabot: every "absolute" path does, not relative paths ;) [03:45] kah: Well, are you wanting to avoid updating for a while, or have the latest software? [03:45] filesystem paths and the PATH environment variable are two different things [03:45] djcobra: For...? [03:45] How does one disable Network Manager. I thought I had killed it; however it keeps reverting my iptables. [03:45] flowerpot: zykotick9 the system wide path originates in /etc/environment [03:45] I'm just looking to program with ruby on rails [03:45] djcobra: have you made sure it is forwarding to the correct internal ip? it could have changed if not static [03:45] kah: I'd use the latest stable [03:45] ssh [03:45] 11.10? [03:45] MK13, yes. i've set it up in my router [03:46] kah: Yes. [03:46] kah: or take the plunge with 12.04 pre-release [03:46] or long-term stable 10 [03:46] sbts-tv_: lol, not here: "0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 15 16:11 /etc/environment" [03:46] phy1729: apt-get remove network-manager [03:46] and should i use the windows installer? [03:46] kah: its released in April and is LTS [03:46] whats the wm for 12.04 ? [03:46] kah: no, mount the MD5 tested ISO in virtualbox and boot to it [03:46] dwon: I thought I did that but let me make sure [03:46] sbts-tv_, thank you! [03:46] djcobra: And are you sure you have an ssh daemon running? [03:46] Buhdabot: in Gnome based ubuntu, compiz as usualy [03:46] phy1729: although don't do that if you're on a wireless network, unless you know what you're doing =) [03:46] phy1729: careful removing it! if you define something in /etc/network/interfaces it will autodiable N-M from that interface [03:46] djcobra: do you have a firewall on the desktop machine? [03:47] sbts-tv_, so if I add a directory to the $PATH defined in /etc/environment, it will be present in every shell no matter what? [03:47] Buhdabot: looks and feels similar to Gnome based ubuntu in 11.10.. [03:47] nope all wired and static IPs [03:47] ok thanks ActionParsnip [03:47] cheapie, yes i'm running it. i can login using my internal ip address in xterm [03:47] ActionParsnip: I'll stick with 11 for now, upgrade later.. and what does mds stand for? [03:47] zykotick9: that is strange. it is on any machine I have worked on for the last 10 years [03:47] djcobra: Are you behind a NAT? [03:47] Buhdabot: if you use a different desktop then the WM will be different [03:47] MK13, is there a command that will display what i'm running [03:47] phy1729: Also, what zykotick9 said. (I'm just trigger-happy when it comes to network-manager. :) ) [03:48] djcobra: "ps ax | less" [03:48] hrm yea it did seem to do that [03:48] kah: MD5, its a test so you know the ISO you have is complete and consistent [03:48] !md5 | kah [03:48] kah: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:48] flowerpot: yes. but you will need to at least logout and back in first, if not reboot [03:48] kah: it's MD5, not MDS [03:48] djcobra: not too sure on that one... could be quite a few firewalls or even iptables [03:48] filter NAT in my router is unchecked. [03:48] djcobra: "ps fax | less" is a bit better; it gives you the process hierarchy [03:48] sbts-tv_, cool. thank you! [03:48] Ok cool [03:49] djcobra: Do you have multiple computers on this network? [03:49] It would be neat is MIRC could have a conversation break down, for easier viewing [03:49] or *irc [03:49] kah: there are logs of the channel [03:49] ActionParsnip, breaks it down [03:49] haha [03:49] lol [03:49] cheapie, yes i have multiple computers on the LAN [03:50] All fixed, thanks dwon and zykotick9 [03:50] djcobra: Have you set it to forward to the correct computer? [03:50] djcobra: can you ssh to that machine from a different machine on your local network? [03:50] cheapie, yes. internal is set to 192.168.1.100 [03:50] djcobra: can you connect over LAN ok? [03:51] Hey all [03:51] dannek71: Hi, what problem are you having? [03:51] on my windows box using telnet i can connect to my ubuntu box fine using internal ip, however cannot connect when using my isp ip address [03:51] ActionParsnip: hey, why wouldn't my ubuntu iso be legit? [03:52] kah: That's not what MD5 is for - it's to make sure it's not corrupted. [03:52] let me try using putty on the windows box (using internal ip) port 22 brb === whoever is now known as Guest89451 [03:53] djcobra: ssh and telnet are totally different things. and run on different ports. [03:53] kah: you didn't think ubuntu was free did you ;) [03:53] cheapie: how would it get corrupted? [03:53] ssh ftw!!!! [03:53] MK13: haha, that would be a crime [03:53] djcobra: If you're trying to connect to your external IP from inside your network, that's why it doesnt work... [03:53] how do you output the contents of the terminal to a log file? [03:54] kah: its not a case of legit, the internet is not an incredibly reliable network and data can get damaged in transit [03:54] shovell: "ls > filename.txt" [03:54] kah: so you check the file so you know it is all ok [03:54] putty doesn't seem to connect when using internal ip aswell [03:54] just hangs [03:54] djcobra [03:54] djcobra: then your issue is not the router [03:54] i just joined, may i ask what issue you are having [03:54] kah: Sometimes packets will get corrupted, transfers will get mangled (especially over FTP)... [03:54] zykotick9, thanks is that as a program runs or just what is there [03:55] <[[thufir]]> upgrading from an alternate cd brings up "getting new packages" which is a pain. I opted for the networkless option. hmm, maybe next upgrade just disconnect the ethernet cable or something? [03:55] ActionParsnip: I see, cheapie: yeah, fair enough [03:55] kah: protocols like torrents add extra checking which can help get a good image [03:55] telnet works fine in windows using the internal ip address [03:55] shovell: > is a terminal built-in [03:55] <[[thufir]]> can I get all those new packages for an upgrade via torrent or something? [03:55] djcobra: is openssh-server installed on the server side? [03:56] command to find out quick? [03:56] djcobra: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [03:56] what would be more stable windows running a vm of ubuntu or ubuntu running a windows vm [03:56] djcobra: it'll either install or say its already in [03:56] djcobra: that actual cli command to find out would be "apt-cache policy openssh-server" [03:56] earlybirdd [03:56] kah: FTP is especially famous for mangling data. In fact, on older servers, it will get mangled by default... [03:56] earlybirdd: how do you mean 'stable' [03:57] install ubuntu inside windows, or make a separate partition [03:57] well ive got two laptops. A laptop server and my personal laptop. [03:57] I wish to run both OS's on the server....as a file/web server....but I am punned into which OS I should go [03:57] <[[thufir]]> if I were to just disconnect the ethernet cable before upgrading, would that omit the part where "getting new packages" before the upgrade occurs happens? or would it just not be able to upgrade? [03:57] earlybirdd: i consider anyone using Windows to host VMs, as a little crazy myself. [03:58] cheapie: yeah, well it's good to know about this, plus MD5 looks like it is a breeze [03:58] openssh-server is already the newest version [03:58] earlybirdd: ubuntu server will use fewer resources so I'd virtualize ubuntu [03:58] I would like to learn the ups and downs of both OS's as a file/web server but I want them to both have access to the same files [03:58] is this possible? [03:58] [[thufir]] If you have any packages installed that aren't included on the CD, the upgrade will probably fail. [03:58] i prefer windows 2008sbs [03:58] but ubuntu is more secure [03:58] earlybirdd: Do you need them to run at the same time? [03:58] djcobra: have you only been able to connect to the ssh locally from the same computer? [03:58] djcobra: ok and what is the output of: service ssh status [03:58] artichoku: its as secure as you make it.... [03:59] ActionParsnip, ssh start/running, process 26533 [03:59] earlybirdd: sure, if you set it up right [03:59] true so true, linux just comes secure out of the box [03:59] artichoku: thats teh bit you missed ;) [03:59] MK13, yes i'm able to connect to while in the linux box [03:59] windows exploitation is something that you have to chase down all the time [04:00] always something, since MS is always updating their booboo's [04:00] djcobra: your ssh daemon might not be setup to listen on anything other than the localhost adapter [04:00] Anyone play Osmos on a Geforce 6200(NV44a) I can't see any of the menu text or objectives text in the game [04:00] artichoku: Yes, Windows is as secure as Microsoft makes it (not very), most Linux distros are as secure as you make them, and Gentoo... well, it will be secure if it ever finishes compiling. [04:00] anyway to adjust that MK13 ` [04:00] djcobra: ok, run: ssh localhost so you get offered to continue connecting (lots of output)? [04:01] ahahahaha [04:01] sorry i looked away a second cheapie [04:01] intok: a few [04:01] intok: I don't play that game but I have gamed on the chip [04:02] ActionParsnip, ssh 192.168.1.100 [04:02] and it connects fine [04:02] ActionParsnip any insight to the missing text? As stated, the game otherwise plays fine, but I can't change any options and can't read anything [04:03] djcobra: ok that's good, we know the service is running and accepting connections [04:03] yep internally :) [04:03] intok: let me search [04:03] on the linux box [04:03] djcobra: ok did you configure your firewall any? [04:03] intok: iver never played the game, but does it offer the ability to change settings before the game starts [04:03] djcobra: check in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and look for an entry 'listenaddress' and let me know what that is [04:03] artichoku: And, for (another) laugh about the same subject, here's dpkg's opinion about Gentoo: "Gentoo Linux causes global warming! Needlessly recompiling everything uses power. Fossil fuels are used to generate that power. See also . Hug a tree, use Debian! [04:03] MK13, okay [04:04] omg cheapie [04:04] lol [04:04] you know, i miss mandrake [04:04] mandriva's not the same [04:04] djcobra: the default is to listen to all interfaces, but yours might be different [04:04] artichoku not allot, but it has some options, I've playedit on an Intel GMA900 and a Radeon HD2600XT [04:04] artichoku: I loved mandrake [04:04] artichoku: kde was good then :( [04:04] artichoku: Maybe you should ask dpkg about that and see what he says - you can find him on #debian-bots. [04:05] okay it has this: #ListenAddress :: [04:05] #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 [04:05] ActionParsnip: KDE3? I liked that too... [04:05] intok: can you you kill any of the eyecandy in those settings? and also maybe change to window mode? [04:05] djcobra: then it should be listen on all adapters [04:05] has # infront. [04:05] yeah thats what i thought === ar0nic is now known as marowanna [04:05] mmmm kde3 [04:06] maybe it needs to be restarted? [04:06] artichoku: mmmm [04:06] djcobra: if it is commented out it should use the default, which is to listen to all interfaces [04:06] djcobra: try it, can't hurt [04:06] whats the command again? [04:06] djcobra: sudo reboot [04:06] artichoku don't remember, only have this to use right now and these are the default settings [04:06] haha not the system [04:06] can i just restart the sshd? [04:07] djcobra: service sshd restart? [04:07] can't check the command right now [04:07] Anyone familiar with AutoSSH? I just can't seem to get it to work when using the same params as I do with normal ssh [04:07] #ListenAddress :: [04:07] #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 [04:07] opps [04:07] sshd: unrecognized service [04:07] djcobra: if that fails: sudo service ssh stop; sudo service ssh start [04:07] k i'll reboot [04:07] djcobra: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:07] sorry about that [04:09] intok: without having it in front of me, it's really hard to say what to try [04:09] how are your vid drivers? [04:09] up to date? [04:09] does it work with other games? [04:09] artichoku: http://www.tuxmachines.org/images/mdv2006/desktop.jpg ;) [04:09] argh... guess i'll reboot [04:09] i'll do this tomorrow [04:10] thanks for your help guys :) [04:10] well thats different [04:11] that's like windows 3.1 to xp [04:11] Hi everyone. [04:11] artichoku Nvidia 280.13 Other games that play fluently are NAEV, Aquaria, CaveStory+, Open Sonic, World Of Goo [04:12] hrm.... [04:12] intok: penumbra series is awesome [04:13] intok: also grab urban terror if you like counterstrike (it has wall jumping too) [04:13] How do i open a .bin file [04:13] artichoku: thats the default mandrake 6 desktop, good times [04:14] does ubuntu have a command to check what brand/type of RAM i currently have installed? [04:14] spursncowboys: mark it as executable and run it, if it is nvidia drivers you don't need it [04:14] mordof: it will show type, not brand [04:14] ActionParsnip: good enough [04:14] as far as I remember [04:14] mordof: dmidecode may help [04:15] ActionParsnip oh I know, before my C2D/ Geforce 8800GTS blew it's mobo I got through Penumbra and the Id games [04:15] penumbra is very worth the cash [04:15] ActionParsnip: oh hey, this is interesting :o [04:16] sbts-tv_, I have a question for you: I've added /foo to the path defined in /etc/environment, and now if I type which bar then /foo/bar is returned. However, sudo which bar returns nothing -- typing sudo foo says "sudo: foo: command not found" [04:16] actionparsnip: sorry just looked. lots of pm's! [04:16] I'm sorry, disregard that - there was a typo. I'll re-type: [04:16] mordof: its a great command [04:16] mordof: bios version and low stuff like that, good times [04:17] ActionParsnip: was trying to find out what brand of RAM i have - as i want to buy another 8GB it. I *think* this (http://ncix.com/products/?sku=53427&vpn=CMX8GX3M2A1333C9&manufacture=Corsair) is currently what i have [04:17] sbts-tv_, I have a question for you: I have a program bar in directory /foo. I've added /foo to the path defined in /etc/environment and rebooted, and now which bar returns /foo/bar but sudo which bar returns nothing. Moreover, bar works but sudo bar results in: "sudo: bar: command not found" -- do you have any idea what's wrong? [04:18] mordof: could just open the case, you'll need to do that anyway to install it [04:18] ActionParsnip: room mate is asleep xD can't make noise :\ [04:18] or rather, don't want to [04:18] * mordof shrugs [04:18] i'll wait til morning [04:18] <[[thufir]]> cheapie: thx [04:19] fyi, unity pisses me off [04:19] I've modified /etch/environment to include /foo in my PATH, but root's PATH doesn't include /foo. It's bizarre. [04:19] artichoku: i disabled it [04:19] mordof: I'd check later ;) === wolf is now known as Guest90472 [04:19] one friggin' compiz change and you're stuck in recovery mode for an hour === greentux|ganteng is now known as greentux_ [04:20] i was trying out unity-rotated launcher [04:21] it crapped itself and was stuck at the command line forever [04:21] flowerpot: check out the manpage for sudo. from memory sudo, by default, clears the path. there are options to change that behaviour [04:21] >.< === greentux_ is now known as greentux|ganteng [04:22] I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 Oneric Ocelot But somehow Can i change over from Unity to the older GUI (sorry I am a bit in love with the old one) [04:22] ActionParsnip Am I missing anything? http://www.gameolith.com/ http://www.desura.com/ http://www.playdeb.net/ http://www.quakelive.com/ http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/ [04:22] c_nick, when logging in, click the cog next to your name [04:22] i did [04:22] then choose ubuntu classic [04:23] i get Destop 2D Desktop [04:23] flowerpot: once again from memory, the best way to fix this would be to also add /foo to the path sudo uses. this should be configurable in /etc/sudoers I think [04:23] go into compiz once you've done that === Jugg3rnaut is now known as Juggernaut [04:23] set it up like you normally would have [04:23] intok: looks fine [04:23] but i warn you === tristan_ is now known as Guest60060 [04:23] compiz makes unity go boom [04:23] sbts-tv_, I am baffled: sudo echo $PATH shows /foo is in $PATH, but sudo foo fails with "sudo: foo: command not found". I'll check out the sudoers file [04:23] c_nick: there is a guide on omgubuntu how to make it look like Gnome2. [04:24] artichoku, I dont get Ubuntu Classic === Guest60060 is now known as itched [04:24] although it's possible that sudo echo $PATH might be showing me my $PATH instead of root's [04:24] what r your options, mine says ubuntu classic [04:24] c_nick: personally I'd install xfce4 and use that desktop. Your Gnome apps will run just fine in xfce [04:24] Hey guys. Quick question. I'm trying to execute a file in a different directory than my working directory. So I'm trying to execute a file in /xyz and the file name is /xyz/abc. But ./xyz/abc doesn't work. [04:24] I think I'm missing a key concept somewhere [04:24] booooo xfce! [04:24] flowerpot: try: sudo -i then run: echo $PATH [04:24] no it's not bad [04:24] i'm just being an ass [04:24] Juggernaut: is the file marked as executable? [04:24] xfce just doesn't have enough eyecandy for me [04:25] then again, i didn't play with it alot [04:25] I am not an EyeCandy Person :D [04:25] ActionParsnip: It executes using ./abc when I'm in its directory. [04:25] I am a C Programmer :D :D :D [04:25] then go for it! [04:25] ActionParsnip artichoku Regnum will run on this 6200 as well, at absolute minimum settings, but it gets far too slow when more then like 10 people are around [04:25] sudo apt-get xfce4 [04:25] ActionParsnip, /foo is included, but I think sudo -i preserves your own environment variables, so that would happen even if root's PATH didn't include /foo. [04:25] c_nick: same, this is my desktop: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png [04:25] i could personally do with Ubuntu Classic too [04:25] downgrade to the 173 driver [04:25] flowerpot: look at variable secure_path in man sudoers [04:25] see if it makes a difference [04:26] artichoku: yeah, i like a certain degree of eye candy so many desktop environments are just "bleh" to me, lol [04:26] flowerpot: but you know root's path is right [04:26] i find it hard to live without my compiz cube [04:26] flowerpot: you could add to the bottom of ~/.bashrc export PATH=$PATH:/foo [04:26] sbts-tv_, I notice that in sudoers, there's the line "Defaults env_reset" [04:26] Juggernaut, leave the . off the front [04:26] Oh [04:26] artichoku: single desktop here, it's all I need [04:26] I'll try that [04:26] ActionParsnip, thats good Desktop :) And how is that less eye candy [04:26] artichoku: lol. compiz cube would mess me right up. i don't use workspaces [04:27] sbts-tv_, there is no secure_path in /etc/sudoers for me [04:27] IceDingo: That works! Many thanks [04:27] c_nick: where is the eye candy? [04:27] actionparsnip: it's not what i neeeeeed persay, but i want desperately [04:27] Eye Candy = Good GUI :) [04:27] Juggernaut, no problem :) [04:27] mine looks like a borg cube [04:27] ActionParsnip: your UI has images!!! = eye candy.. rofl [04:27] flowerpot: no, leave that one alone. by default secure_path is set to back in the day, some dood made an "OS" in QuickBASIC [04:28] mordof: like a wallpaper? [04:28] jk man ! but seems nice [04:28] that shit was hot, because all I had was DOS [04:28] flowerpot: that info is from "man sudoers" there are a lot of settings that have defaults and will not be in the sudoers file. [04:28] ActionParsnip: well, i suppose if your UI supported gradients then it wouldn't need to be images [04:28] ActionParsnip: *shrugs* :) [04:28] artichoku: yeah but if you had resident aps you had to hack himem.sys to free more ram so your app would run [04:28] artichoku, what r u using ? [04:29] mordof: they are images, it's lxde + openbox [04:29] ActionParsnip: ahh ok [04:29] ActionParsnip: considered openbox at one point.. [04:29] mordof: the default panel image is only 48pt high. I used image magic to stretch it so I could get a bigger lxpanel [04:30] ActionParsnip, so how to do that ? at-get install openbox [04:30] c_nick: this very second, unity is on [04:30] but i did set up ubuntu classic [04:30] artichoku, how ? [04:30] !notunity | c_nick [04:30] c_nick: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [04:31] c_nick: what do you mean? [04:31] sbts-tv_, OK, so if env_reset is set and I also specify secure_path to be /foo + the default, the environment will be reset (as it is currently) but the PATH will be forcefully set to what I've specified, right? [04:31] c_nick: sure, you can log off then and log on to openbox session, if you want something like that I would install LXDE [04:31] hi can sl [04:31] ubottu replied [04:31] c_nick: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-make-ubuntu-11-10-look-and-feel-like-gnome-2/ [04:31] oooo c_nick: did you install 11.10 directly or did you upgrade? [04:31] flowerpot: yes that is correct. don't forget to use sudoedit to edit the sudoers file, it saves you from disaster! [04:32] that may be why i have ubuntu-classic option [04:32] i upgraded [04:32] hi ca someone tell me why when i do sudo halt it hangs and doesnt actually shut down the computr? [04:32] artichoku: heh - there's about 11 options on my user login from fiddling with stuff, it's such a mess [04:32] sbts-tv_, righto, i'll give it a try. thanks [04:32] given that a script i need to run crashes more than it runs and i have a choice between 64bit or 32bit libs, running the 64bit now, would 32bit be any different? [04:32] hi [04:32] artichoku, fucker installed it directly [04:32] ah [04:32] then do what ubottu said [04:32] ok [04:33] installing gnome-shell [04:33] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [04:33] mordof: rofl [04:33] i am getting an error installing ubuntu using the wubi.exe on windows 7 [04:33] I'm trying to compile a irc client, but the configure script can find glib-config, shouldnt that be part of libglib-dev ? or what should i install to get glib-config ? [04:33] flowerpot: I think that sudoedit still defaults to useing vi as an editor, you may want to either read up on using vi, or check the manpage for sudoedit to find out how to use a different editor with it [04:33] don't you wish ubuntu would clean up out messes [04:33] c_nick: gnome-shell = gnome3, gnome-panel = similar to gnome2 [04:33] hi arti [04:33] hi ca someone tell me why when i do sudo halt it hangs and doesnt actually shut down the computr? [04:33] IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'F:\\wubildr' [04:33] dang... s/can find/can not/g [04:33] -_- [04:33] matt-someguy: go into windows and repartition === lokomis_ is now known as lokomis [04:34] then do a side by side install [04:34] artichoku: i somehow ended up on "User Defined Session" by chance, i was fiddling with compiz and i created a conflict that completely shut down Unity, lol.. I was so happy xD somehow that glitch got saved. Using AWN + compiz now [04:34] and skip wubi altogether [04:34] thismhappens on 2 of my b0xes [04:34] matt-someguy: I suggest you grab the ISO, MD5 test it, mount it using magic disk or daemontools and run Wubi frmo there [04:34] artichoku: i am a little less technical than that... [04:34] artichoku: couldn't tell you for the life of me how to do it again, hah [04:34] mordof: i love awn manager [04:34] yeah, it's nice [04:34] zykotick9, ok its happening.. [04:34] ActionParsnip: k, thanks, i'll take a look at it [04:35] one if i log out should i see an option ? [04:35] matt-someguy: go to control panel>administrative tools>storage> right click on windows partition>shrink volume> make it whatever size you want [04:35] yggdrasil: you need sudo poweroff *not* halt. halt just stops the machine, not power it down [04:35] logging out and seeing [04:35] yggdrasil init 0 also works [04:35] poweroff? [04:36] i've been using shutdown -P every time not knowing there was another way, lol [04:36] init 0 FTW!!!!! [04:36] awesome [04:36] :) [04:36] thank u i have always done halt [04:37] artichoku: still is a pain in the ass, and i still don't know how to install as a side by side, hence the wubi [04:37] in xchat is there a way to make it stop telling me when someones name has changed? [04:37] sbts-tv_: i agree with you, BUT why does "shutdown -h now" power off the machine? [04:37] wubi is much more a pain in the ass [04:37] you could install inside windows [04:37] if you mount the image with daemon tools [04:37] then choose to install inside windows [04:37] and you won't have to worry with wubi [04:37] Using Ubuntu 11.10 with GNOME Shell - I want to set my right Windows/Super key to trigger the activities overlay, however if I go Keyboard > Shortcuts > System > "Show the activies overview" , it will not accept a single key as a hotkey, only a combination (eg Super+Space). Any ideas? [04:38] Sorry for the repeat but i made some major typos... I am trying to compile a irc client, but the configure script can not find glib-config, should not that be part of libglib-dev ? or what should i install to get glib-config ? or is there some other packages that would provide glib-config ? [04:38] ok.... === studioxps is now known as CyberDawg [04:38] then when yur done playing with it, just uninstall like you would anything else [04:38] ZeloZelos: yes.. i have no idea how though, lol [04:38] it's be in your programs and features list [04:38] it'l* [04:38] but would it be running as its own OS if i botted it, or would it be running inside windows [04:38] booted* [04:38] zykotick9: fron the shutdown manpage "-h Requests that the system be either halted or powered off after it has been brought down, with the choice as to which left up to the system." [04:38] yup [04:38] as it's own os [04:39] matt-someguy: Wubi runs inside of windows [04:39] you get the option when you're powering on [04:39] ok, sounds good [04:39] Wubi doesn't run inside of Windows [04:39] i'll take a look at it [04:39] it installs inside of Windows [04:39] sbts-tv_: thanks ;) [04:39] whether you want to boot in windows or ubuntu [04:39] but runs natively [04:39] thanks [04:39] it runs *almost* as fast as a native install [04:39] almost [04:39] now i have to download the ISO [04:39] lol [04:39] if i have a vpn server setup on ubuntu, is there anyway i can see a log of ip addresses that have connected to my vpn? [04:40] i still say you should install on a partition [04:40] you'll get irritated with it [04:40] i did [04:40] you also can't share windows files [04:40] ok? [04:40] I use Wubi for temporary, short-term installations. Partition/wipe whole for long-term [04:40] malikmasr: /var/log/auth.log and maybe others [04:40] so get your jump drive ready to move files [04:40] or Dropbox [04:40] because you can't mount windows with wubi [04:40] true [04:41] well, i am using ubuntu to learn about Unix systems as i need to learn it for IT jobs [04:41] so i won't really be using it for years to come or anything [04:41] i agree hasselsaurus, like i did a wubi for 11.10 before i upgraded [04:41] In that case - I suggest you try using several different distros. Wubi may be the right choice for you to easily test it out, and wipe it if you screw up/want something new [04:41] just to make sure i liked it [04:42] uuuuuu [04:42] sbts-tv, it doesnt seem to contain the ip address of the clients [04:42] matt-someguy, you may want to try debian too, as ubuntu spawned from it [04:42] matt-someguy: fyi, ubuntu is NOT a good representative of Unix-like OSes. [04:42] what is then? [04:43] i love ubuntu [04:43] artichoku: i also intend to use freeBSD and looking into arch, however i cannot get arch to run through the VM yet [04:43] ZeloZelos: yes.. i have no idea how though, lol [04:43] oops [04:43] ZeloZelos: sorry, lol.. wrong terminal xD (just hit up + enter_ [04:43] freeBSD is def unix-like [04:43] in xchat is there a way to make it stop telling me when someones name has changed? [04:43] but don't expect anything pretty [04:43] sbts-tv_ it doesnt seem to contain the ip address of the clients [04:43] oops [04:43] it's down and dirty IMO [04:44] zykotick9: i only need to learn about Unix for IT jobs like data rescuses and server stuff [04:44] hi all... I want to connect ad-hoc with cli... the host is running windows... any idea? [04:44] ZeloZelos: right click the #ubuntu channel on the left, check for the option (sorry i don't use xchat anymore, so can't be specific) [04:44] for that matter, just download putty and get a free shell account [04:44] ZeloZelos: do you have the source code? [04:44] that's how you're going to be doing server stuff anyways [04:44] remotely [04:45] malikmasr: strange, auth.log should have ip addresses of any machines that try to connect and get auth from the server. having said that I don't play with vpns so I may not be much help. virtually all logfiles on the system should be in /var/log though. btw you may need to be root to see everything [04:45] artichoku: i'll take that into consideration [04:45] what's the cli name for the disk utility to resize/format partitions? [04:45] (the gui program) [04:45] if there is one [04:45] ZeloZelos: if you have the source code, just alter the code to remove that part and re-compile [04:45] sbts-tv_ i am root, maybe i have to enable loggin? [04:45] gparted [04:45] or should i use gparted? [04:45] logging [04:45] gparted, good stuff [04:46] matt-someguy hehee...yeah right. [04:46] can gparted be run in ubuntu? [04:46] or does it always require me to restart [04:46] i've used gparted in ubuntu [04:46] can't say i remember how [04:46] lol [04:46] it is pretty simple [04:46] oh hey, it's in the repos! [04:46] i thought it was always an iso for reboot! [04:46] ZeloZelos: your new to coding, huh? just alter it to where user can define if he wants to see it, if true, displays name changes, if false, hides. [04:46] mordof: in regard to your origional question, the cli version of gparted is called parted [04:47] zykotick9: ok, thanks :) [04:47] ZeloZelos: it's already an option built into xchat BTW [04:47] c_nick: hows your progress [04:48] hell if i know if it is [04:48] lol [04:48] i am using Xchat-WDK [04:48] good n.. [04:48] I have a bunch of *.pcf fonts, where would I install these for use with all users?

[04:49] awe man [04:49] i can't resize my /home at the moment :\ lol [04:49] i swear if the adobe suite would work properly on linux, i'd never boot up to windows again [04:51] bbrb [04:51] artichoku: very, very true [04:51] is there a reliable to unmount /home while i'm logged in? xD [04:51] * mordof wants to resize /home partition [04:51] hello. i installed 11.10 coming from 10.04. 11.10 cannot read a filesystem for my second hard drive. i can't remember what type of filesystem it is. [04:51] without rebooting, lol [04:51] mordof: palimpsest [04:52] is there a package to install for additional filesystem compatibility? [04:52] sbts-tv_: it likely won't allow me to unmount it though [04:53] Anyone know where I can find a free guide for total newbies to Ubuntu? [04:53] hi all... I want to connect ad-hoc with cli... the host is running windows... any idea? [04:54] mordof: not going to happen. you will need to at least log out and have nothing using /home so you can unmount it first [04:54] bah, that's no fun [04:54] ooh wait [04:54] Anyone know where I can find a free guide for total newbies to Ubuntu? [04:54] i can use my ubuntu live cd for that [04:54] !manual | Xourii [04:54] Xourii: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[04:57] rofl [04:59] Rsnapschot is not working correctly there is no data arriving in the destination folder? [04:59] artichoku: keep in mind, that's only funny for ubuntu/mint type distros, distros with root could do it ;) [04:59] Hi can somebody please do this for me press alt+0160 and copy and paste the code here [04:59] lol, true [05:00] <[[thufir]]> in upgrading to 10.10 why does it say *5* hours to install the packages!? They're already downloaded. That seems excessive. [05:00] hell i made my touchpad do it [05:00] thufir, ouch [05:00] why 10.10 and not 11.10? [05:01] <[[thufir]]> can't go from 9.x to 11.10 directly. [05:01] ah [05:02] <[[thufir]]> thx for registering that that's, indeed, a bit much. [05:02] that's quite excessive [05:02] what are your system specs? [05:02] and is it saying 5 hours but dropping by 20 minutes at atime? [05:02] or is really looking like it's going to take 5 hours? [05:02] <[[thufir]]> quite ancient. I can run freemem. It's ddr ram. [05:03] it should take like 20 minutes [05:03] depending on how old, you may not want to upgrade [05:03] <[[thufir]]> It dropped to four, but is staying there. let me get my specs. [05:03] <[[thufir]]> well, I wanted to upgrade ruby to 1.9, so... [05:03] when you get to 11, unity is going to make your computer toss excrement [05:04] <[[thufir]]> lol. I can use gnome, thru configuration, right? [05:04] don't have to use unity... [05:04] yes [05:04] right i know, but the first time he boots.... [05:04] oh no i guess not [05:04] he can change it before he logs in [05:05] theres nothing wrong with unity [05:05] artichoku: not if you install xubuntu.. [05:05] unity is wonderful mrcleanwithhair, we're just discussing the machine it will be run on [05:05] <[[thufir]]> now, is it still startx if I have problems along those lines? I do have purple installed, so can probably get to irc without x if that happens. [05:06] actionparsnip: i am unfamiliar with xubuntu :/ [05:06] !xubuntu > artichoku [05:06] artichoku, please see my private message [05:06] having issues getting ubuntu to dual boot on ssd. nothing comes up after reboot. can anyone help? [05:06] ahhh like kubuntu [05:06] artichoku: its a lighter gtk based desktop [05:07] artichoku ActionParsnip well crap the Nvidia 173.14.30 driver has the same issue with Osmos as the 280.13 driver [05:07] i hate that didn't work intok [05:07] what's the next driver up, 180? [05:07] intok: if you add the xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh), you can try the 290 driver. Which nvidia chip do you have? [05:07] <[[thufir]]> xubuntu, interesting. thx for letting me vent, all. [05:08] [[thufir]]: lubuntu and kubuntu also do not have unity [05:08] actionparsnip, when i put ubuntu on my hp touchpad, i was forced to apt-get xfce4, didn't realize it came as a distro [05:08] ActionParsnip NV44a the 6200 LE [05:08] [[thufir]]: they can if you want though, unity is only a shell so you can add it if you desire [05:08] artichoku: xubuntu just uses xfce and some lighter apps by default, that's all [05:09] ActionParsnip: wouldn't KDE Plasma be just as bad as Unity on an old machine? [05:09] cool [05:09] intok: I use a 6250LE onboard with the 290 driver [05:09] CPhoenix: possibly, kde is not light but it could be tweaked [05:10] i don't think he'll have an issue with gnome as long as he gets unity disabled [05:10] I suppose turning compositing off would help. Hm [05:10] <[[thufir]]> I like gnome. it's just slightly too much for my system, tho. it's on the bubble. gnome3 will probably be too much. [05:10] oh whats the other one [05:10] <[[thufir]]> I can't run gnome+netbeans. although netbeans on some windows managers is ok. [05:10] There's a Gnome classic with no effects option in 11.10 [05:10] lde or something [05:10] that's cut down too [05:11] crap i can't remember the name [05:11] <[[thufir]]> gnome lde? I'll google that. [05:11] artichoku: LXDE? [05:12] yeah that!!! [05:12] lol [05:12] i couldn't remember [05:12] <[[thufir]]> that one's pretty good. only thing about GNOME I like is the ?panels? are more configurable to my preferences. otherwise LXDE was quite nice. [05:13] lxde is the bom [05:13] 2+2=fish | 3+3=eight | 7+7=triangle [05:13] I wish to enable wake-on-usb, I have tried enabling it in /proc/acpi/wakeup and it does nothing, any ideas? [05:13] Doesnt work on either ubuntu 11.10 or debian stable [05:13] zykotick9: actually that is not true. if you are logged in as a user you can not unmount /home Unless the user's home dir is not in /home [05:14] ActionParsnip any issues updating with non distro drivers? [05:14] sbts-tv_: you can force unmount it [05:14] If I seeded an ubuntu torrent,could I contribute? I really want to help out :) [05:14] syslq:sec i'll look into it [05:14] Get no operating system when dual booting ubuntu on SSD. Can anyone help me get to grub? [05:14] intok: it gels into dkms so works well [05:14] is there an easy way to add glib1 and glib1-dev in Oneiric ? alongside with glib2 ? [05:14] zykotick9: as for ubuntu being different from others. it is not. ubuntu does have root. [05:14] <[[thufir]]> at least my 11.10 alternate will be downloaded by then! can I grab all the updates now as a torrent somehow? [05:15] If I seeded an ubuntu torrent,could I contribute? I really want to help out :) === steven_ is now known as stubuntu [05:15] Xourii: sure, just seed it [05:15] awesome :P [05:15] thanks. [05:17] Hey, I've got this vertical stripy background image on my desktop, but no idea where to find it in the filesystem. it's not in /usr/share/backgrounds/ - someone know this one? [05:17] it's blue i should mention [05:18] * toxic is tiox on a different machine [05:18] I am having an odd locale issue. === toxic is now known as Guest91042 [05:19] <[[thufir]]> Jimu: you changed background image and it's still there? [05:19] [[thufir]]: i like it, i want to edit it [05:19] syslq_: did you follow all of these steps: http://solutionsandtips.blogspot.com/2011/09/enable-wakeup-from-suspend-with-usb.html [05:20] artichoku: yes [05:20] hi [05:20] hrm... [05:20] 1 more minute [05:21] ActionParsnip: yes, you can even in ubuntu, but if you are still logged in you are on borrowed time (if using X) if using cli only and you know what you are doing you may survive [05:21] sbts-tv_: yes but it can be done is my point [05:21] I need some help, not sure what to google. I have a 11.10 ubuntu server. for some reason it stops at "Starting MySQL server" and stops there. I can ssh in but I'm wondering why it doesn't show a login prompt... [05:21] I was hoping to run openbox on it... [05:22] LastArms: I'd check your SQL log [05:22] ActionParsnip: you think SQL has a problem? [05:22] LastArms: well the service never gets started according to your text, so its a good place to look [05:22] LastArms: Can you hit ctrl alt f2 and get to prompt? [05:23] yabai_: yes [05:23] sbts-tv_: root's home folder is intentially placed outside of /home, so on systems with root, logging in as root wouldn't require /home to be mounted. (sorry, i guess you didn't understand my first comment, sorry) [05:23] ActionParsnip: I can access my wordpress blog fine, so I dont' think sql has a problem... [05:23] still with me syslq_? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:23] ActionParsnip: anything can be done, even shooting yourself in the head, the real question is should it be done, and what are the consequenses [05:24] sbts-tv_: but you simply wrote that it cannot be done, which is untrue [05:24] syslq_: try this package http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-11.10/ubuntu-main-i386/powerwake-common_2.15-0ubuntu2_all.deb.html [05:24] yabai_: f7 is the only that has X so I can run openbox right? [05:25] zykotick9: but even an ubuntu system has root. so yes *if* you are logged in as root and only root it can be done without risk. [05:25] artichoku: I will, thanks [05:25] let us know it it works [05:25] i'm curious to know [05:25] LastArms: Not sure i understand you [05:26] hi all, guys please suggest the best bash scripting book or webpage to start with. :) [05:26] hey I want to turn my old laptop into a simple file server [05:26] ActionParsnip: Yes I did, this is an IRC channel that is commonly read by people that are less than knowledgeable about linux. I find that it is counterproductive to say (in a case like this) anything other than, no don't do it, or it can't be done. [05:26] nothing fancy just a way to access my files from the interwebs [05:26] subb1: go to knowfree.net you can find a lot of ebooks there.. [05:26] artichoku: :), will do, that guide should work btw, wake on usb is enabled in my bios and unless there is a difference between sleep and suspend that shuld cut it [05:26] @ yabai_ on f7, I don't get a login prompt. I want to start openbox. so I was wondering if that is possible to get a loginprompt on f7 so I can start a gui [05:26] azriel: is that a question? lol sry [05:27] syslq_: awesome [05:27] ActionParsnip: otherwise, the next question asked is "I force unmounted /home. it broke my system how do I fix it" [05:27] LastArms: Sure [05:27] LastArms: do you have OB installed? try running "startx" if you do. [05:27] and I already have it set up with ubuntu 10.10 but i do not DO NOT want to install ubuntu server edition, i have already gone through too much just getting this computer to work and yes its a question [05:27] <[[thufir]]> for those enquiring minds, my (poor) system per lsh: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1460113 [05:27] ?????????? LastArms: What you use to login? Gdm? [05:28] so i have a few bugs.. hoping somebody has an idea whats going on.. when my laptop battery gets low my computer hibernates.. thats good except that in hibernates and wakes up over and over agin tuntill the battery dies. [05:28] zykotick9: I can't do startx since all the screen shows are the commands it runs and stops at "Started MySql server" and doesn't allow me to login [05:28] azriel: lol sry. ok well you're going to at least need the server packages [05:28] yabai_: I was hoping for a login prompt like the ones you see on f1 f2 f3 .. [05:28] Ok so I tried to put my partitions into fstab, and place them in a /mnt/Folder scenario. when I opened the folder though, it was empty - there is quite a lot of data in my partitions :\ [05:28] *again until [05:28] I have no idea what would cause this [05:28] apache, sql (if you need a db) php [05:28] ActionParsnip: If something is highly dangerous and only for the mad and insane then mortals probably should be told it can't be. [05:28] artichoku: sweet how could i get those? [05:28] LastArms: did you disable all your VTs somehow? nothing on alt+f1 -> alt+f6? [05:28] LastArms: Login from f1 and manually start openbox [05:28] sec i'll get you the apt's [05:29] azriel: sudo apt-get install lamp [05:29] mordof: lamp isn't a package [05:29] zlynx, thanks but i do not see any further categories or able to see 'Old Entires' for the wordpress site [05:29] zykotick9: since when? [05:29] ActionParsnip: on the other hand, perhaps I should of said "it can't be done under normal circumstances" [05:29] mordof: since before ubuntu [05:29] yabai_: failed to open display [05:29] hrm [05:29] what was it then [05:29] i know there is one in the repos.. [05:29] azriel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [05:30] ah [05:30] mordof: there is a "tasksel" for lamp perhaps [05:30] lamp-server [05:30] LastArms: What command did u run? [05:30] subb1: i have lots of ebooks. i can send you some if you like ..what's your email ? [05:30] sudo apt-get tasksel [05:30] yabai_: openbox [05:30] sudo apt-get isntall tasksel* [05:30] install&& [05:30] grrr [05:30] why tasksel? [05:30] artichoku: tasksel is pre-installed [05:30] install********* [05:30] is there a way to make dolphin default over nautilus?? [05:30] ooooo [05:30] it didn't used to be [05:30] mer bad [05:30] artichoku: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:31] LastArms: Try startx [05:31] Glamp it is, downloading now [05:31] sudo taskel install lamp-server [05:31] yeah that [05:31] lol [05:31] artichoku: what is tasksel? === studioxps is now known as CyberDawg [05:31] yabai_: yup I think I got it now. typing startx seems to start something on f8 [05:31] it's getting late my hand and my brain ain't friends [05:32] !taskel | mordof [05:32] awwww [05:32] heh [05:32] lol [05:32] LastArms: Good [05:32] seems to be an alternative to the normal packaging tools [05:32] hm [05:32] mordof: "This package provides 'tasksel', a simple interface for users who want to configure their system to perform a specific task." [05:33] artichoku: solved, echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb3/3-2/power/wakeup (it differs from usb device apparently, lsusb should tell you). This has to be done with along with enabling usb in /proc/acpi/wakeup [05:33] sysql_awesome!!!!! [05:33] ahh [05:33] artichoku: doh :), thanks for your help [05:33] np man, glad we could get you up and running.... after it sleeps [05:33] lol [05:33] anyone know how why my computer wont hibernate when its low on battery.. its in an annoying loop where it wakes up, sleeps, wakes up, sleeps over and over again [05:33] azriel: mordof tasksel is not an alternative to normal packaging, it sits on top of it and automates installing a (potentially) large group of packages to meet a certain task [05:34] by using tasksel, he'll get apache, sql, php and all the other crap all at once [05:36] azriel : here's a walkthrough to get rolling: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [05:36] sbts-tv_: and how would you go about explaining the difference between tasksel and metapackages ;) [05:36] I installed some *.pcf fonts, but they are showing up as invalid characters / rectangles. [05:36] i would recommend disabling the gui [05:36] it'l eat up system resources [05:36] zykotick9: do you really want to know? :)) [05:36] once you're done, i mean [05:36] sbts-tv_: if you have an easy answer, sure. [05:37] damn u government, where's my refund!!! [05:38] <[[thufir]]> if you don't have a network connection, how would you upgrade between 10.x and 11, though? can you download those updates onto a cd? without updates, cannot upgrde. [05:38] thank you artichoku [05:38] upgrading is stupid [05:39] you know, i have a serious problem when i'll spend $2500 on my pc and buy $400 cars [05:39] put your /home onto a seperate partition and just download the new version onto cd [05:39] azriel: np, hope it goes well [05:39] yabai_: do you know if openbox is hard to setup for newbs? [05:39] upgrading causes to many problems [05:39] !alternative | [[thufir]] [05:39] [[thufir]]: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[05:42] you don't need to update/grade anything do do those [05:42] your computer is lying [05:43] in my server python process is running ..i do not want python in my server...how do I gracefully stop python process ... === jack is now known as Guest44787 [05:43] * [[thufir]] agrees [05:43] * sbts-tv_ bows to zykotick9. I do try :) [05:43] python is awesome x3 [05:45] can i turn off these notes in empathy so i dont have to see everytime someone joins or leaves.. [05:45] zykotick9: btw *NEVER* and I mean *NEVER* uninstall a task using tasksel. use the package manager to uninstall individual packages. Using tasksel to uninstall will normally uninstall more than you bargained for, killing your system.

[05:52] ActionParsnip: really? you use pidgin? what happened to weechat? [05:52] Honey_: why u runnung ntfsfix?

[06:05] Have [06:06] From dmesg looks like the drive was recognized as sdb [06:06] yabai_ : can i format to fat32 or fat16 [06:06] Are there any book specifically for learning c under gnu linux [06:07] Fat32 [06:07] dxv7690: In general you should always look for documentation made for the release of Ubuntu you're using. That documentation is specifically for 8.04. [06:07] Honey_: Pay careful attention to the drive you are formatting [06:08] actionparsnip: what does that do? [06:08] yabai_ : ok [06:08] <[[thufir]]> Honey_: but why FAT? or NTFS? part of the drive can be NTFS, other part ext3 [06:08] tristan3199: hides the join part noise for #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic you can add more channels if you wish [06:08] tristan3199: if you've already run "/ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS" then running "/save" should save the settings without editing the config file [06:09] tristan3199: Hit /save before you quit so it writes the config [06:09] [[thufir]]:you mean thios is not correct? [06:09] actionparsnip: thank you, can u assist with another problem.. im using a laptop and it doesnt hibernate.. i think theres an application that keeps waking it up.. how do i find out which app is doin this..

[06:10] thank you yabai_ [06:10] <[[thufir]]> Honey_: it may be correct, but still not a good idea. what's your partition scheme? are you dual booting? [06:10] tristan3199: try running powertop it may tell you something interesting [06:10] yabai_ : it brings "An error occured while applying the operation"See the details for more information. IMPORTANT If you want support, you need to provide the saved details! See http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/save_details.htm for more information. [06:10] tristan3199: I'd look for bugs relating to the make and model [06:11] michalchik: can't openshot do that? [06:11] bobo Thanks [06:11] [[thufir]]:no iam using only ubuntu [06:11] Honey_: Sorry - not sure what other advice to give - i dont use gparted much... [06:11] michalchik: I am not sure. I think I remember seeing that option though. [06:11] actionparsnip: its a new problem on a laptop ive had for years.. [06:11] <[[thufir]]> Honey_: ah, then I can't imagine a reason to use ntfs or fat. [06:12] ok guys, I can't open my web router login 192.168.1.1 , i dont know whats wrong, i can open it with Windows XP [06:12] [[thufir]]: so what might be the solution? [06:12] [[thufir]]: Think he wants to access on a win machine [06:12] tristan3199: not sure dude, my hibernate skills are limited as its not something I use [06:13] Yusuke: Weird. Are you using a web browser? [06:13] [[thufir]]: yeah iwant to use on boss machine window and ubuntu [06:13] artichoku ActionParsnip well apparently it's a font issue, the company says to update to 1.6.1 but provide no patch, but the FAQ says theres an auto update, at least for windows and give info on what to change in the config files to make it do so, but this was no joy, even when running the game under sudo http://pastebin.com/MemErSUZ [06:13] Honey_: Can you pastebin the saved details? [06:13] bobo37774 : web based router login and yes a web browser of course [06:13] Yusuke: Try reloading the page [06:13] <[[thufir]]> Honey_: ah, so that's dual boot. then one partition is probably best as ntfs for windows. [06:13] yabai : reload? tried it 100x , reboot etc, tried and again, fail. [06:14] actionparsnip: thank you tho.. [06:14] <[[thufir]]> then, IIRC, you can just say "rest of disc is ubuntu" and it will figure that part out. [06:14] jordan_U:http://dpaste.com/692612/ [06:14] Yusuke: is it even bringing up the login popup? [06:14] bobo37774 : yes, but recently it gave me blank page [06:15] Yusuke: you aren't using noscript or anything right? [06:15] who mentioned powertop... whats hrtimer_wakeup [06:15] [[thufir]]: so can itry again in ntfs? [06:15] Honey_: I want the saved details from gparted which are mentioned in the error message. That's not what you posted. [06:16] Yusuke: Did you try a different browser? [06:16] midori, chrome, and firefox. fail [06:16] i think i've something bad in my ubuntu [06:17] Yusuke: It is getting weirder. hmmm Did you try spoofing your user agent in Firefox to make your router think it is internet explorer or a windows box? [06:17] Jordan_U : now i delet it but it was says like this "An error occured while applying the operation"See the details for more information. IMPORTANT If you want support, you need to provide the saved details! See http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/save_details.htm for more information. [06:18] is there a way to make my SSH shares reconnect when they timeout or get disconnected? [06:18] Sorry, could not display all the contents of "datalink": DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [06:18] Well, I have downlaoded and playedwith openshot and I don't see how to convert a frame into am image [06:18] bobo37774 : nope, i dont even have addons in my firefox, oh well there's a flash video downloader [06:19] Yusuke: Wait a minute. Is it a java interface? [06:19] the last time, it gave me cgi-bin [06:19] idk [06:20] Yusuke: Do you have java installed on your Ubuntu install? [06:20] Honey_: Please read the error message very carefully, then read the link that the error message points to. I need that gparted_details.html file. [06:20] <[[thufir]]> Honey_: it depends. windows is already on one partition, yes? you've shrunk that partition to make room for linux? what are your partitions going to be and why? [06:20] * [[thufir]] shuts up [06:21] is there a way to make dolphin default over nautilus or will that break my system?? [06:21] Jordan_U : and now icant find the drive in gparted? [06:21] Honey_, you broke it [06:21] tristan3199: sure, won't cause any issues [06:21] bobo37774 : i think i have java [06:21] tristan3199: if you right click a folder and select to open with a different app, you can select dolphin [06:22] MrCleanWithHair:and the solution is? [06:24] [[thufir]]: and now icant find the drive in gparted? [06:24] actionparsnip: could i make dolphin default? [06:25] <[[thufir]]> Honey_: Jordan was asking for some error messages from ?dmesg? you have those? [06:25] dmesg is fine [06:25] Yusuke: Quite a mystery. Are you using openjdk or java? [06:25] tristan3199: sure, you can use any file manager you like [06:26] [[thufir]]: i was trying to give him from dmesg but it is not what he want he want from the gparted error message but now i coudn't find my drive to paste againe [06:27] [[thufir]]: Honey_: I was *not* asking for error messages from dmesg. [06:28] Honey_: Can you run "sudo parted -l" in a terminal and pastebin the output? [06:28] Goodnight [06:28] yabai_: goodnight [06:28] Testing, hi? [06:29] blucalculatr: hi [06:29] Honey_: Goodluk - you will figure it out [06:29] okay, so, i started a thread in ubun tu forums,, and someone suggested i come here. [06:29] ok [06:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11635944 [06:30] yabai_:thanks [06:30] now that's an interesting question [06:31] the closest i can find is this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [06:31] bobo37774 : i think i installed both [06:31] is that what im looking for? [06:31] mind you I've never tried what you're asking but.. [06:31] me either, will be fun to try [06:31] Yusuke: both? openjdk and jdk jre? They don't conflict with each other? [06:32] Jordan_U : this is the out put but when i plugn the drive also it syas " The folder conetnts coud not be displayed""5917-48C7" could not be found. Perhaps it has recently been deleted." and for the command you give me look likehttp://dpaste.com/692627/ [06:32] where should i look to change to dolphin to default.. can i do this with the terminal? [06:32] Jordan_U : http://dpaste.com/692627/ [06:33] I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to partition that harddrive and then use the live CD to install ubuntu there [06:34] wait. when you say live CD, do you mean just the files copy pasted, or what? [06:35] oh crap I forgot you don't have a CD available [06:35] tristan3199: you can edit your mimetypes to open folders with dolphin [06:35] Honey_: Is the "WD My Passport" the drive in question? [06:36] could he install the iso into a VM with unetbootin. then use that VM to install to the other diskdrive?? [06:36] yeah, and my laptop doesnt have a cd drive. i guess its more of a netbook [06:36] Jordan_U : yeah [06:36] ActionParsnip: /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache ? [06:36] Jordan_U : WD My passport is an external drive [06:37] honestly blu at that point you're going to need a good chunk of command line kung fu [06:37] blucalculatr: have u tried using a Virtual Machine on your desktop. [06:37] bobo37774: maybe, not sure. I know it can be dne that way though [06:38] Honey_: OK. It looks to be fine from the parted output, and parted shares a most of the important code with GParted. Can you post a screenshot of the drop down menu showng drives in GParted? [06:38] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I am 100% positive you are right. [06:38] tristan3199: i havent tried using a virtual machine, but i have no idea how to. [06:39] mace_: im not opposed to that. [06:39] does anyone know any switches to sl other then -a and -l? [06:40] [06:40] blucalculatr: it's above my current knowledge level, but your link without Disk does show it off a little bit more. I'd look into the Arch linux FAQ a little more. They go more in depth with shell commands and such for setting up a working *nix box [06:40] zykotick9: No gnu long options or man page? [06:41] zykotick9 ls -l | more [06:41] bobo37774: omg, there is a man page. thanks ;) [06:41] zykotick9: No problem. [06:42] bobo37774: "sl -F" flying ;) [06:42] how do i boot the alternate.iso from grub2? [06:42] bluecalculatr: this gets you a VirtualMachine.. u can use it to install the iso to. i can help... sudo apt-get install virtualbox [06:42] zykotick9: ? What is sl anyways? [06:42] what should my menuentry look like for the kernel and/or initrd line? seems everything i see online is for the desktop.iso, using casper, which i don't want [06:43] bobo37774: ls backwards, it's a joke program. i won't give it away though. [06:43] <[[thufir]]> Jordan_U: honey is just trying to shrink the WD fat partition, I believe, to make room for ubuntu. [06:43] eightyeight: I may be wrong but I don't think that the alternate install iso is loop bootable. Both the Desktop and mini (netboot) isos definitely are though. [06:43] zykotick9: Oh, I see [06:44] Jordan_U: can you point me to any documentation about that? also, what about the server.iso? [06:44] bluecalculatr: do u have unetbootin already? [06:45] tristan2199 i downloaded it, havent used it yet. [06:45] eightyeight: This only applies to the Desktop iso, but may still be useful to you: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F [06:46] bluecalculatr: u have the iso already?? [06:46] eightyeight: I think that the server iso is also not loop bootable. The mini iso can be used to install Ubuntu server, it's just that it needs to download all packages over the network. [06:46] if i dont, i can get it quickly. [06:47] i have the iso [06:47] Jordan_U: right. i'm trying to avoid that. i would prefer that a base install of packages be available offline on the usb disk [06:47] blucalculatr: did you run sudo apt-get install virtualbox? [06:48] i have not. will do now. [06:49] Yusuke: Did you figure it out? [06:49] i tried to, it said "Package virtualbox is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source" [06:49] doing sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, see if that fixes it [06:49] blucalculatr: once its done.. open it.. it will be in applications/accessories/virtual box ose [06:50] Hi. Are there any drawbacks with putting my apt repository in an NFS share to be shared between multiple machines? [06:51] okay its not working. [06:51] eightyeight: Then these instructions should work (not using grub2 unfortunately): http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download [06:51] Package virtualbox is not available, but is referred to by another package. [06:51] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [06:51] is only available from another source [06:51] ill send a link.. one min.. [06:51] kkerwin1: setting up apt-cacher (or apt-cacher-ng) might be a better idea... [06:51] oops, didnt mean to paste that again, sorry. "Package 'virtualbox' has no installation candidate" [06:52] blucalculatr: what ubuntu version are you using¿ [06:52] zykkotick9: Why is that, if you don't mind me asking? [06:52] on the desktop, 11.04, on the laptop, im trying to install 10.04 [06:52] blucalculatr: 11.10 but shouldnt matter.. [06:53] blucalculatr: ill get you a link instead.. [06:53] whats the diff between 11.04 and the new install [06:53] kkerwin1: it's a service that acts as a local mirror, when any connected machine downloads an update, everything else can get the local copy. VERY handy. [06:53] is it worth upgrading [06:53] okay, thanks tristan3199 [06:53] http://www.winportal.com/virtualbox/download [06:54] eightyeight: I was completely wrong it seems. I just downloaded the Ubuntu 11.10 Server iso and it does indeed contain a /boot/grub/loopback.cfg, which means that it can be loop booted with grub following http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F . [06:55] blucalculatr: fyi in 10.04 VB would be virtualbox-ose [06:55] Jordan_U: yeah. i'm actually trying to create a multiboot usb drive that supports several versions of ubuntu, debian, etc [06:55] zykotick9: I don't mean to argue, but setting up an NFS would accomplish the same thing. Is there something inhererently wrong with the NFS route? It would allow me to use my designated server (which I cannot run Ubuntu on) to host the files. [06:55] wait [06:55] * eightyeight clicks [06:55] tristan3199 that was a windows link, im using ubuntu at the moment. [06:55] s/inhererently/inherently/ [06:55] Hello guys can anyone help me find out where my hard disk space went? Disk analyzer isn't telling the whole story. Hehe [06:55] kkerwin1: not really, so long as 2 machines are updating at the same time. [06:56] blucalculatr: im sorry.. wasnt correct.. this is https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads === demsking is now known as hans88 [06:56] kkerwin1: s/are/aren't/ [06:56] zykotick9: okay, thanks, that works. [06:56] okay, tristan3199, i have virtualbox-ose installing [06:57] blucalculatr: cool.. let me know once its open and running.. [06:57] zykotick9: What is the purpose of the pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin files in the /var/cache/apt directory? [06:57] okay. so what will i be trying to do, grand plan wise? [06:57] kkerwin1: i "believe" those might be the databases of the packages, not really sure though [06:58] zykotick9: The /var/cache/apt directory contains the lock file when one of the machines is updating. But, I want both machines to maintain independent programs that are installed with a common cache. [06:59] The /var/cache/apt/archives directory just contains the package files, so would not clobber the databases, if that's indeed what they are, but would also not have the lock file. [06:59] kkerwin1: your NFS method, "should" work - i dont' see why not. But certainly apt-cacher is the "proper" way of doing this. [06:59] blucalculatr: just mount the iso.. it will say install ubuntu on the desktop.. you can mount your "external" drive and install directly to it.. thats all you should need to do.. [06:59] Hello guys can anyone help me find out where my hard disk space went? Disk analyzer isn't telling the whole story. [06:59] zykotick9: Ok. I think that you are correct. Thank you for your help and for your patience with me. :) [07:00] tristan3199 okay. well, the program has just opened [07:00] see the button thats on the top left.. "new" [07:01] okay. does the name have to be specific, or arbitary? [07:01] doesnt matter.. anything works.. [07:01] Macoy: may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=978696 [07:01] okay. and OS linux(ubuntu)? [07:01] Macoy: I suggest you first run: sudo apt-get clean and remove any old unused kernels [07:01] base memory size is fine as is.. [07:01] blucalculatr: correct [07:02] blucalculatr: base memory is fine as is. [07:02] okay. now its got tickbox "boot hard disk" [07:02] blucalculatr: yes.. thats fine [07:02] so create neW? [07:03] *new? [07:03] blucalculatr: yes.. dynamically expanding [07:03] okay. any particular size? [07:03] blucalculatr: no just default..

Select Installation Media [07:05] Macoy: Did you try ncdu? [07:05] is that the ISO? [07:05] blucalculatr: point it to the iso.. correct [07:05] bobo37774: I'm not so techie with Ubuntu what's ncdu? [07:06] okay. its now booting. [07:06] Macoy: It is an application. An ncurses front end for du [07:06] blucalculatr: good.. see the context menu on the top of that window? [07:06] yes [07:06] bobo37774: Sudo apt-get install ncdu ? [07:06] hi all [07:06] Jourdan_U: are you there? [07:07] Macoy: Yeah [07:07] Machine Devices Help [07:07] blucalculatr: click devices, and look for the external disk [07:08] Macoy: ncdu is NOT really required. to see your current space used you might find output from "du -sh /* 2>/dev/null" useful. [07:08] Macoy: lowercase S for sudo [07:08] is anyone here I can talk to about http://www.ubuntu.com/tv [07:08] the external disk is under USB devices, but they're all greyed out (blacked ou t?) for want of a better term [07:08] hot_wheelz: sure, just ask [07:09] blucalculatr: one moment.. [07:10] bobo37774: after install what's next? [07:10] ActionParsnip I have links with some content providers and was what is involed on thier side? [07:10] this is a stupid question(made a mistake): what happens if you delete everything in /etc/init.d [07:10] like cost if any and alike [07:10] tristan3199: the harddrive is connected to my computer via a SATA to USB bridge [07:10] open a terminal and run it. Like this --> ncdu / === thedark is now known as Guest54438 [07:11] chris_, the system will not boot correctly anymore. additionally, it won't shutdown correctly either [07:11] oops [07:11] so as long as I dont shut it down I should be fine [07:11] Macoy: open a terminal and run it. Like this --> ncdu / [07:12] chris_, as long as you don't shut it down, upgrade any packages related to running services or try restarting services :p [07:12] bobo37774: says 6gb used apparent size 8gb so about 1.6gb left. But I have 40gb and I don't know where it is? Haha [07:12] can someone give me an idea please so i can go talk to them [07:12] thanks [07:13] Disk analyzer confirms 40gb but same when it says only 1.6gb left [07:13] chris_: you may be able to copy the files from the liveCD once it's booted to, you could do this on another system then copy the files in [07:13] !list [07:13] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

Im running ubuntu desktop on this one [07:15] tristan3199: im guessing go to USB, add, and then the external harddrive? [07:16] <[[thufir]]> thirty nine minutes to go! [07:16] Macoy: Do I need to install teamviewer? [07:16] chris_: hmm, you may want to install virtualbox and copy the files from the live desktop to the host [07:16] okay [07:16] * [[thufir]] updates everyone on his upgrade because, well... [07:16] blucalculatr: sorry.. yep correct [07:16] Unfortunately yes. That's what's installed here hehe [07:16] tristan3199: okay. double click the name to start it back up? [07:16] If its ok with u. [07:16] Macoy: okay hold on [07:16] blucalculatr: yep [07:17] blucalculatr: now you should be able to see the external within the VM.. correct? [07:17] Jourdan_U: http://imagebin.org/195209 [07:18] bobo37774: thanks [07:18] 1) install ubuntu server on virtual box. 2) start up virtual box and run "sudo zip /etc/init.d/*" 3) use ssh to copy zip folder to /etc/init.d 4) run unzip init.d.zip [07:18] Macoy: No worries [07:18] blucalculatr: you may need to mount it still.. if so just open a folder in places an then click the drive you want mounted.. once its open its mounted.. [07:18] tristan3199: okay, doing that now [07:19] blucalculatr: then click install ubuntu from the virtual desktop.. [07:19] except i cant see it in "places" [07:19] hi [07:19] blucalculatr: you wont see it.. just pick any folder [07:19] blucalculatr: once the window opens you will see your drive on the left.. [07:20] VirtualBox OSE doesn't support USB!!! [07:20] i hawe a very intresting programming idea, but im not programmer http://www.hot.ee/keber/olympic.JPG [07:20] I was going to use ssh [07:20] zykotick9: its SATA [07:20] zykotick9: but will show as USB [07:20] Macoy: O.K. What now? [07:21] Macoy: Be right back [07:21] tristan3199: is it connected through USB? [07:21] tristan3199: its SATA, but it's plugged into my desktop's SUB port [07:21] *USB [07:21] the virtual box on the oracle website does, the one in the repositories doesnt [07:21] Jourdan_U: http://imagebin.org/195210 [07:21] blucalculatr: it won't work with the OSE version the new VBox doesn't have this issue, only the OSE [07:21] bobo37774: I pm you did you receive? [07:22] !spam | PaulIIIIIIII [07:22] zykotick9: uh. so where do i get the new VBox? (im on 11.04 if that makes a difference) [07:22] PaulIIIIIIII, that is spam do not do that. [07:22] deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian natty contrib [07:23] Jordan_U: http://imagebin.org/195210 [07:23] blucalculatr: 11.04 doesn't have "virtualbox"? get it from Oracle (if you must, sorry i'm not a fan of Oracle/VBox) [07:23] Im not sure I like the desktop in 11.10 - where is my file explorer gone? [07:23] zykotick9: should be possible.. he just installed it ten minutes ago from the oracle site.. [07:23] eightyeight: If there is anything unclear in those instructions, or anything you think could be improved, please tell me. [07:24] tristan3199: so it's not the OSE version then?!? is it or isn't it? [07:24] Jordan_U: http://imagebin.org/195209 [07:24] it was installed by sudo apt-get install virtualbox-OSE [07:24] *ose [07:24] zykotick9: nope.. its VirtualBox 4.1.8 [07:25] <[[thufir]]> honey_: you need the error log. it's a text or, IIRC, html file. [07:25] from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [07:25] blucalculatr: are you being helped by tristan3199 - or is this two issues? [07:25] i was being helped by tristan3199. i think i downloaded the wrong one though [07:25] <[[thufir]]> honey_: jordan asked for it a while back, I don't recall the precise name of the file. GIYF? [07:25] cause mine says its 4.0.4 [07:26] blucalculatr: did you open a file.. === xabbu is now known as Guest93108 [07:26] blucalculatr: or in devices is it still black? [07:26] honey_: Is there anything stopping you from saving the gparted_details.html file and pastebining it now? [07:26] in devices its still black [07:26] blucalculatr: apt-get remove the version you installed, then download the Oracle version (or add there repo and install virtualbox) [07:26] im using ose.. and i can use usb's just fine [07:26] I can not boot into system, it says could not find module directory,, [07:27] i have never really had any issues wit that.. [07:27] blucalculatr: are you able to access your drive??? try that first.. [07:27] tristan3199: VBox-OSE didn't include USB support, the new VirtualBox package does. [07:27] tristan3199: i can access it normally from my ubuntu [07:28] blucalculatr: what about when you click devices.. can you see it there?? [07:28] Hi, I'm looking for some assistance as I have a server here that's been sitting disconnected from the internet for an extraordinarily long time... and I now have a need to get it to a recent version of Ubuntu. I'm doing an apt-get dist-upgrade but all of the links are 404ing and I'm worried that the upgrade path may no longer exist... [07:28] only in USB Devices. where it's blacked out [07:28] Jordan_U: sorry jordan i cant save it or tell me how can i save it gparted_details.html? === Guest93108 is now known as GwaiLo [07:28] I have been having a slight problem with virtualbox. Before I can use it I alsways need to open terminal and run "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" [07:29] how do i tell whether i want i386 or AMD64 [07:29] honey_: Instructions for saving it are @ http://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=gparted-live-manual&lang=C#gparted-live-saving-gparted-details . [07:29] blucalculatr: do you have a 64 bit machine or a 32 bit [07:29] honey_: Is English your first language? [07:29] GwaiLo, what is the release? [07:29] <[[thufir]]> lol. I just found that link as well. [07:29] urlin2u, According to etc/lsb-release it's 8.10 [07:29] tristan3199: i can't remember. how do i check? [07:30] <[[thufir]]> however, honey isn't using the live version, I believe. but it should be similar. [07:30] http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.16/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.16-75491.vbox-extpack [07:30] blucalculatr: that link provides USB 2.0 support [07:31] Jordan_U: sorry no it is my second langouage it might be broken [07:31] tristan3199: okay. what do i do with the file? [07:31] urlin2u, it's 404ing both on security.ubuntu.com and also au.archive.ubuntu.com [07:31] blucalculatr: if you install that, it would be difficult to remove [07:31] blucalculatr: wait this is more current http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.8-75467.vbox-extpack [07:32] Jordan_U: file:///home/tewea/Desktop/gparted_details.htm [07:32] honey_: No problem. There are channels in other languages if you prefer, but feel free to stay here if you'd like. [07:32] it seriously took less than 2 minutes to install ubuntu server on virtualbox [07:32] tristan3199: okay. so how do i use a .vbox-extpack file? [07:32] GwaiLo: intrepid is very dead dude. I'd clean install oneiric or even precise prerelease as it will be LTS [07:33] Has anyone had issues with their mic since the last kernel patch the other day? [07:34] Jordan_U: yeah i like that [07:34] honey_: Run "firefox /home/tewea/Desktop/gparted_details/html" That should open the file in Firefox. Once the file is open, please copy all of the text from that page and paste it to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com . [07:34] Ziioynx: none here. Never had a sound issue in Linux ever [07:34] ActionParsnip, I very much want to upgrade from it... it's just a storage server and unfortunately there's absolutely no way I can format and reinstall, I need to upgrade cause I just don't have the space to store the data while formatting and reinstalling [07:35] !eol | GwaiLo but seriously, upgrading that many times is crazy [07:35] GwaiLo but seriously, upgrading that many times is crazy: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [07:35] GwaiLo: do you not have a backup? [07:35] blucalculatr: please click on the main Virtualbox OSE Window [07:35] ActionParsnip, yeah nor have i... All of my speakers are working even the laptop volume keys work the mic just has stopped working [07:35] ActionParsnip, can you use the eol upgrades on servers? [07:36] okay [07:36] ActionParsnip, this is my backup server. I don't have anywhere else I can store the data [07:36] Jordan_U: http://dpaste.com/692633/ [07:36] GwaiLo: a drive motor fails. The drive doesn't spin up. Where is your data? [07:36] how do i burn an iso to disc? [07:36] Any idea's where i should start to try and debug this mic issue? [07:36] Back to Settings, i just tested it on my machine.. it works fine here [07:36] ActionParsnip, it has a parity drive and a hot swap [07:37] urlin2u: sure. Its the same OS, just no X and a slightly different kernel.. [07:37] Jordan_U: I/O errors, what's your plan now ;) [07:37] nevermind [07:37] composite: under what OS? [07:37] ActionParsnip, thanks I wasn't sure, should pass that on? [07:37] tristan3199: im back in settings. [07:37] I* [07:37] how do I send a file over using ssh over command line? [07:37] ActionParsnip, i figured it out [07:37] composite, I use Brasero [07:37] yes brasero! [07:37] chris_: scp [07:38] GwaiLo: its go [07:38] blucalculatr: ok so you have added the usb drive? [07:38] tristan3199: yes. [07:38] GwaiLo: gonna be a long climb [07:39] Any chance someone could explain to me why linux uses so many different directories for programs? This is coming from an experienced Windows user trying to understand all this. [07:39] GwaiLo: intrepid to jaunty to karmic to lucid to precise [07:39] ActionParsnip, If I follow the instructions on the EOLUpgrade will I get there eventually? [07:39] I am using ubuntu 11.10 and I have installed xserver-xorg-video-intel. But still I am getting 1024x768 resolution. I've Samsung 20" monitor. Will you please help? thanks [07:39] !fhs | indigochild [07:39] indigochild: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [07:39] ActionParsnip, I'm ok if it takes a week or two for the various updates to take place etc. [07:39] blucalculatr: i have successfully loaded a USB 2.0 flash drive.. no problem. is yours listed already [07:40] GwaiLo: eventually yes. Its going to be a lot of time and bandwidth [07:40] Jordan_U: do you get this http://dpaste.com/692633/ [07:40] blucalculatr: your ubuntu desktop is up and running also.. correct? [07:40] indigochild: a better question would be "why does Mircosoft use so few directories?" ;) [07:40] honey_, you try a new partition table? [07:40] tristan3199: not sure if you saw before, but i've got version 4.0.4, and the file you sent me i have not done anything with because i dont know what to do with it. [07:41] honey_: Yes. That suggests that your drive might be failing. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo smartctrl --all /dev/sdb"? [07:41] ActionParsnip, I'll check with the housemates and see if it's worth the effort :) Thanks very much for your help... I'll follow the instructions on there and see what happens [07:41] GwaiLo: once you get to precise you are set for 5 years :-) [07:41] blucalculatr: u shouldnt need it.. [07:41] why when i run through my server logs in the ftp log does it have ftp connections for localhost? [07:41] GwaiLo: expat in China? [07:41] When I run this command lshw -c video. I get this information. http://dpaste.org/WmD63/ [07:41] ActionParsnip, haha [07:42] honey_: And by "drive failing" I mean a hardware problem. [07:42] somsip, No, just someone who was learning cantonese a while ago... I just checked and apparently I created this nick 9 years ago :) [07:42] blucalculatr: unless we cant get the USB to load.. when you click device USB it doesnt allow you to mount it into the VM??? [07:42] tristan3199: doesnt look like i can. its still blacked out in the USB Devices menu [07:42] GwaiLo: ah. Wo bu shi jiao gwailo! :) [07:42] indigochild: the commands are categorized and are put into folders to highlight this rather than windows where its all in one place [07:43] GwaiLo: but hey, well OT... [07:43] Jordan_U: udo smartctrl --all /dev/sdb [sudo] password for tewea: sudo: smartctrl: command not found cab i install smartctrl? [07:43] somsip, haha, somewhat :) [07:43] honey_: Yes. "sudo apt-get install smartmontools". [07:43] Jordan_U: i don't think smart can work across USB, i could be wrong [07:45] will you please help? [07:45] blucalculatr: im doing a lil research to see what the difference between our machines is.. you using 11.10? [07:45] hi all [07:45] indigochild: also Linux uses shared libs which are only loaded once in ram. If another app needs it then it can also access the one in ram making running apps faster. Windows would load another to ram which is wasteful. These files have a different folder to say admin commands and so on [07:46] tristan3199: 11.04 [07:46] zykotick9: It's less commonly supported, but it is possible with some enclosures. [07:46] Jordan_U: good to know. sorry for bad info. [07:47] blucalculatr: goto the ubuntu software center.. type in the search bar virtualbox [07:47] * chris_ crosses fingers [07:47] i am running ubuntu server and added another drive for use as a data drive only. how do i find where the /srv/share file is as there is nothing this morning in my mapped drive. can all the data dissapear like that [07:48] <[[thufir]]> why did parted -l show two drives as scsi when one is usb for honey? [07:48] pikkie: check "mount", is you drive listed as mounted? check /etc/fstab for correct entry [07:48] pikkie: did you add its partition/s in /etc/fstab ? [07:49] thufir: yes i did it was working till last night [07:49] [[thufir]]: all drives are mapped as scsi (ide, scsi, usb, s-ata...) [07:49] tristan3199: it comes up with virtualbox OSE 4.0.4 and other things that dont have virtualbox in the name [07:49] [[thufir]]: it is how its shown in the kernel. The functionality was added there [07:50] thufir: will check pls wait a sec [07:50] it worked! [07:50] chris_: wtg [07:50] <[[thufir]]> ok. good to know, that's for sure [07:50] llutz_: technically all drives are ide? [07:50] * [[thufir]] reboots for upgrade in ten minutes! drinks on me! [07:50] ;-) [07:51] ActionParsnip: you mean all drives are scsi right? [07:51] does cronjob requre the user to be logged in? [07:51] chris_: no [07:51] zykotick9: not pata ones. Ide refers to the pcb on the drive. [07:51] ActionParsnip: how is dns done in Ubuntu 11.10? dhcpd.conf or resolv.conf? [07:51] <[[thufir]]> maybe the problem honey has with this i/o error in formatting the hd is that it's via usb? can gparted handle that? [07:52] Hi, how do i completely remove sendmail from my system. It somehow got installed and totally messed up my postfix install, and I cant find a way to remove it.. cant even stop it [07:52] ActionParsnip: at a low level, all drives are scsi, boot Windows in safe mode - those are the scsi ids going past ;) [07:52] is there a place where I could add a startup program for all users on boot. Im wanting to do modprobe vboxdrv [07:52] oyvindby: sudo aptitude purge sendmail should do it. [07:52] thufir: no nothing there when i type mount [07:53] chris_: that's a module, not a program. /etc/modules used to be used for this, not sure what's current on ubuntu. [07:53] zykotick9: old drives used to not have that and relied purely on the controller. New drives came out with IDEs and helped speed thingss up. These were called 'ide drives'. All new drives, even SAS have IDEs. People really mean PATA but the name just stuck [07:54] Anyone know how to change into runlevel 3 from recovery/grub? [07:54] !runlevel | JDog2pt0 [07:54] JDog2pt0: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [07:54] Muelli: it tells me package sendmail is not installed, still it tells me sendmail is answering on port 25 when i telnet locahlost 25 it tells me sendmail is answering [07:55] oyvindby: can you stop then start the service freely? [07:55] well oyvindby have you just removed that package? Anyway, it might not be sendmail itself but a sendmail replacement. [07:55] could I clone a whole hard drive by doing "sudo scp -R / root@ip /" [07:55] could I clone a whole hard drive by doing "sudo scp -R / root@ip:/" [07:55] blucalculatr: ok.. im running 4.0.4 ose and able to connect my usb fine.. [07:55] thufir: when i sudo fdisk - l it shows all the drives, this is supposed to be sdc1, which i added under /media/250GB, but i cannot find that 250GB file. /media shows empty [07:55] ActionParsnip: yep, sudo service sendmail stop stops it [07:55] im assuming not [07:56] oyvindby: can you start it again though? [07:56] blucalculatr: install virtualbox from the software center and it should provide the rest of what you need for usb action [07:56] tristan3199: well, the problem might be with my SATA to USB interface. [07:56] oyvindby: I guess that's a bug. I'd expect the service to be stopped after you removed the package [07:56] ActionParsnip: not sure if I wanna try, im gonna check the postfix install first [07:56] tristan3199: its hard enough to get it connected on windows... [07:56] pikkiem: using /dev/sdX# isn't a good idea, as these can change. Using UUIDs or LABELs is a better idea. [07:56] chris_: got patience? [07:56] the server is always running. It just restarts at 12:05 am everyday [07:56] blucalculatr: shouldnt make a difference.. this should be all you need.. [07:57] Ha! I tried messaging a bot. Lul [07:57] tristan3199: well, how do you access your USB on there, then? [07:57] tristan3199: maybe im just doing it wrong [07:57] pikkiem: you might want to check "dmesg | grep sdc" to see if it contains any hints [07:57] how long are you thing it will take actionParsnip? [07:58] its a gigabit network [07:58] chris_: that questions has a LOT of variables, impossible to answer really [07:58] So, can anyone help me with a vesafb error? [07:58] chris_: id just backup configs and data. If you want a backup of everything you will need an outage window to take an image or copy data to remote storage or usb [07:59] so perhaps not a good idea then. I was wanting to clone the whole drive for when I do something stupid again [07:59] im able to go into settings and add the device.. then to device and mount it.. your doing it correct. just need a tiny extension for the virtualbox package. after you install from the software center the last 20 mb it should work fine.. if not ill help scan thru the oracle site and find a solution.. [07:59] chris_: depends on size and network load [07:59] zykotick9: we had a power outage and now that drive is for some reason empty, all my data is on there [07:59] chris_: sudo rsync -aux / backuphost:/path/ [07:59] all important information is backed ip [07:59] <[[thufir]]> pikkiem: maybe that 250gb drive isn't mounted? [07:59] pikkie_m: sure hope you have a backup then [08:00] ActionParsnip, sorry to bug you again... but I've followed the EOL instructions, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade seems to finish successfully, but when I do the do-release-upgrade, it fails when trying to extract the jaunty.tar.gz [08:00] pikkie_m: time to use your backups... [08:00] zykotick9: i have one from two days ago [08:00] pikkie_m: well, that's a lot better then none at all :) [08:00] <[[thufir]]> zykotick9: yes, use labels or other for drives. although, in this case, one is 250GB and one 500GB, IIRC. [08:00] I actually have not heard of that command rsync. Ill try it out [08:01] zykotick9: yes but i want to understand something, how can it just go empty [08:01] GwaiLo: you could grab the jaunty alternate iso, mount it and run the upgrade script in the root of the iso [08:01] pikkie_m: ? [08:01] zykotick9:yes [08:02] pikkie_m: are you sure it's empty, and just not mounted? [08:02] <[[thufir]]> pikkie_m: I suggest not doing anything unless you are positive which drive is which. labels? WD or ....? size? [08:02] blucalculatr: apoligize for the extra steps.. usually i have a good experince with VirtualBox but of course its being a terd.. we will get it.. no worries.. [08:02] ActionParsnip, cheers, that sounds like a good idea [08:02] <[[thufir]]> also, I don't think you want to format it, that will *destroy* data. you want to resize the partition, IIRC. [08:02] zykotick9: can i attached it to another pc and see [08:02] chris_: normally you shouldn't need to backup all the stuff, "sudo rsync -aux /etc /home /var /srv backuphost:/path/ " should be ok. add dirs you need + a list of installed packages [08:02] pikkie_m: sounds like the fat / journal is damaged. The data will be there, the system just doesnt know which bits make up what files. [08:02] tristan3199: its okay. just uninstalled and installed using software centre [08:03] <[[thufir]]> good god, this upgrade is endless. [08:03] pikkie_m: i guess? i don't know, can YOU? [08:03] <[[thufir]]> I thought I'd be done hours ago. [08:03] pikkie_m: considered a UPS? [08:03] ActionParsnip: and how would i do that i am not that clued up [08:03] ive been using linux for about a year now and Ive learned what not to do. I make these mistakes all the time [08:04] chris_: mistakes teach best [08:04] so it would not be a bad idea to clone hard drives [08:04] ActionParsnip: have one which ran out while i was aslee[ [08:04] <[[thufir]]> pikkie_m: parted -l shows what? which is which? [08:04] I always make sure I have /home on another partition [08:04] and never encrypt it [08:05] chris_: yeah, i've learned my lesson about not encrypting filesystems. [08:05] chris_: just backup your stuff on regular base (i.e. using rsnapshot) and you'll be fine [08:05] thufir: hold on [08:05] rsnapshot, another program I have not ever used [08:05] <[[thufir]]> how does rsnapshot work? I just want to put in cd (sux) after cd and have the software figure it out. [08:05] chris_: its a wrapper around rsync for automated backups [08:06] thufir: it says nothing about my 250Gb [08:06] tristan3199: so i've opened virtualbox again [08:06] pikkie_m: is the drive seen in BIOS? [08:06] thufir: wait a bit [08:06] so I have set up a community comuter lab of 35 ubuntu computers with a windows 7 transformation pack. Is there a way to sync all software? [08:06] <[[thufir]]> pikkie_m: well, see, I would stop right there and not proceed. unless you can see both drives, then don't do anything. [08:07] <[[thufir]]> now, maybe you just have to mount your 250GB drive, tho? === mang0|zzz is now known as mang0 [08:07] thufir: you may be right [08:07] <[[thufir]]> 250GB is WD? or ATA? internal or USB? [08:07] thufir: it shows in parted -l [08:08] <[[thufir]]> ah, ok, well, that's good :) [08:08] currently I have a folder with all the ips and have ssh keys set up. I would do "for x in *; do ssh root@"$x" sudo apt-get -y install gimp; done" tp install gimp [08:08] thufir: it is a SATA drive inside pc [08:08] Is it possible to hide mounted drives from the desktop? If so, how? [08:08] blucalculatr: i also have these packages selected in the software center, virtualbox-ose, virualbox-ose-dkms, virtualbox-ose-qt, virtualbox-dkms.. [08:09] chris_: puppet would be the commonly used tool for such a setup, but your method might work? [08:09] thufir: in /tec/fstab the line was added to mount the drive when the pc start [08:09] blucalculatr: i would try what just installed before adding these extra packages.. [08:09] <[[thufir]]> pikkie_m: and the 250GB internal SATA is ext4 formatted and running linux, which you are currently running from. yes? and you want to *resize* (not format) the fat partition on the *other* drive, 500GB? yes/no?

[08:10] thufir: no, it was added after everything was up and running and the file system is ntfs [08:10] blucalculatr: did you goto settings and add the drive again? and is it still black in devices? [08:10] zykotick9: i will check [08:10] * [[thufir]] logs off to reboot. wish me luck with upgrade.

[08:22] something like only a specific info is needed something like that zykotick9 [08:22] [[thufir]]: Hurrah! Now to upgrade to 11.04, 11.10, and then 12.04! :P [08:22] is there a way to remove the messages of XXX joined room? [08:23] ponrajuganesh: "ps aux | grep foo" where foo is your process perhaps? [08:23] <[[thufir]]> lol. I'm done. no more upgrades. ever. [08:24] <[[thufir]]> or, do what I know is the right thing to do, repartition so that home is separate, then just use the cd/torrents. [08:24] Is there any way to hide mounted volumes on the desktop? [08:24] blucalculatr: i totally uninstalled and reinstalled my VirtualBox Packages.. so we should be identical now.. and i was able to locate my usb.. [08:24] <[deXter]> Seryth, You can use Ubuntu Tweak Tool for that [08:24] Seryth: also, things mounted though fstab don't show on desktop [08:24] well i've run as sudo, re-done the virtual harddrive setup thing, added USB again, starting up now. [08:24] awesome zykotick9 .. [08:25] [deXter]: Thanks. I tried gconf-editor >> apps >> nautilus >> desktop >> volumes_visible = false, but it's not working. [08:25] but any idea to get the cpu used , memeory used by a particulr process [08:25] zykotick9: What? [08:25] zykotick9 [08:25] blucalculatr: i went to device and clicked usb, lexar [name on my usb] and it booted from the usb.. perfectly.. [08:25] <[deXter]> Seryth, did you logoff/logon after you did that? [08:25] [deXter]: Yup [08:25] ponrajuganesh: read "man ps" ps -o xxx,yyy,zzz -p pid [08:25] ponrajuganesh: the ps output shows CPU/MEM info [08:25] tristan3199: i open up "Home" and i can see it in the Places thing on the left. SUCCESS!! [08:25] <[[thufir]]> [deXter]: heh. dexter. [08:26] blucalculatr: awsome.. now to move along... you see install ubuntu on the desktop?? [08:26] <[deXter]> [[thufir]], O_o [08:26] tristan3199: yup. [08:26] Seryth: nevermind. If you mount things the old fasion way, using /etc/fstab, they won't show up on the desktop. Use [deXter]'s suggestion perhaps? [08:26] <[deXter]> Seryth, Try Ubuntu Tweak, it's worked for me before. [08:27] tristan3199: can i just say i admire your persistence? [08:27] blucalculatr: i guess we just needed permissions.. we should have ran as root in the beginning.. oh well now we know.. [08:27] zykotick9: Actually, I do need to edit /etc/fstab, because I've got two HDDs, and one of them I want to mount to /mnt/HDD2 rather than /media/a2345ddsfhasd etc etc. I just can't remember how to do it :/ [08:27] I am little confused how am I to get the PID for the currently runnin process. Like say I am runnnig a shell script how am I to get that shell scripts PID? zykotick9 [08:27] [deXter]: I will, ty. [08:28] blucalculatr: so have you already clicked the install icon?? [08:28] ponrajuganesh: pidof >processname> [08:28] tristan3199: yes, just doing the keyboard selection at the moment. [08:28] llutz_: would that work for shell scripts? [08:28] nope [08:28] :) [08:28] processname? is that shell scripts name ? llutz [08:29] ponrajuganesh: no [08:29] then how to get the process name llutz_ whcih does that [08:29] blucalculatr: you should have no issues from here.. just install as you would normally.. but chose the USB disk to install to.. and if it wont let you.. use unetbootin to install it for you... [08:29] tristan3199: okay, thankyou very much. [08:30] blucalculatr: no worries.. ill be connected for a bit more.. let me know when its successful.. [08:30] sorry if I am asking something silly llutz_ not able to get .. [08:30] ponrajuganesh: echo $$ [08:30] tristan3199: will do.

[08:31] tristan3199: fair enough. me too. [08:31] tristan3199: on a side note, i intend to have fun screwing around with this virtualbox thing. [08:32] hi - not linux-specific - but i dont know a good place to ask: does anyone inhere uses some kind of self-hostable rss-reader (similar to google reader function-wise) [08:32] i always test new things in there.. sometimes it saves me from crashing my own systems.. i probably would have killed my computer a hundred times without it.. [08:32] ponrajuganesh: you could search for the shell-process running your script and searching child-processes [08:32] tristan3199: yeah, the reason i killed the laptop in the first place was i was trying to install nethack on there [08:33] you can learn alot from breaking systems on purpose.. lol [08:33] an accidental placing of an * stuffed it alll up [08:33] banshee is not scrobbling my activity [08:33] I have the plugin installed and authorized [08:33] runnining Ubuntu 10.10 [08:33] Banshee. 2.8.1 [08:33] runnining [08:34] sorry, 2.2.1 [08:34] what does echo $$ get? [08:34] ummm... guys... how to connect irc.forestnet.org network in x-chat? [08:34] print process id maybe [08:34] ponrajuganesh: $$ = pid of actual process [08:34] 19470 get [08:34] however i would reccomend keeping a usb drive with a bootable ubuntu or easybcd on it... just to help fix the big issues that come up.. [08:34] :) [08:34] llutz_: Still no luck concerning the rsnapshot dirs remains empty I did find however this script https://github.com/mikaellanger/rsync-push-backup but having a view problems adapting it any thoughts on how to expand the backup from home to complete drive? [08:35] so if I use the same within a shell script what process ID will it get llutz_ [08:35] paulus68: thats odd, i don't know how rsnapshot on ubuntu is different from debian, but i couldn't imagine whats wrong with your setup [08:36] my lil netbook has a SD card input.. i have a bootable ubuntu on that in case of emergency... and BAckTrack 5 on usb... [08:36] ponrajuganesh: then shells pid [08:36] tristan3199: yes, i had been doing that... but then suddenly none of my computers would boot from my USB anymore. [08:36] 7msg nickserv identify SOPAsupporter [08:36] oops [08:37] wont I be able to use that then using "ps" command wont that get the cpu and mem info that were used by that shell script llutz_ [08:37] blucalculatr: sound like your bios may need adjusted.. hold down F2 at boot sometime, sometimes its F12 or something.. change your boot device order.. [08:37] llutz_: with the script I sent in the link https://github.com/mikaellanger/rsync-push-backup the backup is working just need to find a way to expand the backup from 1 folder to the complete drive [08:38] share: example of why identifying in a channel is a bad idea ;) good time to change your password, you SOPAsupporter [08:38] does anyone scrobble on Ubuntu? I am running 10.10 and Banshee 2.2.1 and the plugin is activated. However, it isn't scrobbling my audio tracks [08:38] paulus68: sry cannot check the link, i don't have www atm [08:38] zykotick9: xD [08:38] tristan3199: well the weird thing is, the bios is fine, i can choose which harddrive/usb to boot, but when i tell it to boot the usb, it will just not boot anything at all. [08:39] ponrajuganesh: sure but i doubt you really want to have ps-commands in all your scripts [08:40] oh!! is there any other option other than this llutz_ [08:40] blucalculatr: hummm. pretty strange.. upgrading bios via flashing is sometimes dangerous... not reccomended... [08:41] blucalculatr: did the install allow you to chose the [usb] to install to? [08:41] choose* [08:42] I guess nobody uses that plugin for Banshee? Or it is because I am using a Guest nickname?:( [08:42] tristan3199: yeah, i picked my laptop's harddrive, the 160GB hitachi [08:42] guest what is scrobble?? [08:43] paulus68: the script uses rsync i assume. rsync can take more than one source-dir as an argument. can't you just add all the directories you want to backup in one line separated by space? [08:43] blucalculatr: good good... [08:43] ponrajuganesh: you want a script to run ps on itself?

[08:45] ponrajuganesh: have the script echo it's pid to a file? [08:46] hello [08:46] my theme become ugly. default theme of precise. http://imagebin.org/195219 , if anyone know how to reset it. reinstall is no help. [08:46] everybody [08:46] zykotick9: i like banshee.. ubuntu is dropping it? [08:46] iGoogle: #ubuntu+1 is the channel you want. [08:47] ya so U say to echo the pid to a file and then form there to run a ps command is that so what u claim ? overclucker [08:47] Help me to solve my bluetooth problem, i am not able to send files from my pc to phone in Ubuntu 11.10 and kubuntu 11.10 as well [08:47] tristan3199: ya, because Mono won't run on ARM and ubuntu want's to go all smartphone/tablet soon [08:47] i need help mounting my ecryptfs partition on a live cd. it keeps saying "encrypted private directory is not setup properly" [08:47] s/want's/wants/ [08:47] i am not having problem in the previous versions [08:47] :( [08:48] AuroraBorealis: How are you trying to mount it? [08:48] ponrajuganesh: that is one way of doing it [08:49] Jordan_U, the guy's blog says to use ecryptfs-recover-private, but that produces the same error, i tried mounting it with just 'sudo mount -t ecryptfs /blah /blah", both mount correctly but then its just two files saying "run ecryptfs-mount-private' which produces the error. [08:49] zykotick9: precise is same as 11.04, i think. [08:49] llutz_: seperated it by a space however it just made a backup of the home folder [08:49] AuroraBorealis: What is the exact command you ran, and its exact output?

[08:55] you supposed to pay fifty or thirty a month for the wifi connection but jail-broke phones dont require you to pay for that service..

To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [09:00] !classic [09:00] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic".

[09:15] kanhiya: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [09:15] speed of the session [09:15] how do you measure that speed & to what do you compare it [09:15] oh [09:16] i used to use 10.10, 8.04 and they were super fast [09:16] as compared to the current release [09:16] Gaurang: open system monitor and see what application is using most of memory [09:16] ok [09:16] Gaurang: gnome2 was a much lighter system [09:17] yes [09:17] but unfortunately i cannot install it now [09:17] Gaurang: it's called progress (or regression, depends ;) [09:17] gaurang: powertop will tell you how your system is doing.. and where its using its resources... [09:17] gnome 3 or unity? [09:18] sudo apt-get install powertop [09:18] @kanhiya compiz is taking most ram [09:18] how to check whether a paritcular process is running or not? [09:19] ponrajuganesh: pgrep procname [09:19] @tristan3199 thanks [09:19] ponraju [09:19] Gaurang: Is there any process which is taking most of CPU like 90% or more [09:19] ok im lookin [09:20] gaurang: compiz is optional as well.. you shouldnt need it.. [09:20] tristan3199: unity does [09:20] The thing is now looked over the top command "top -p pid" gets the various cpu usage and mem of that particular process - which could also be written inside a file, but the thing is I need to stop this writing once the process has died [09:20] zykotick9: hated unity.. never even messed around with it... [09:20] how to check that programatically [09:20] tristan3199: install finally finished. [09:21] no process like that [09:21] Gaurang: have you tried unity2d? [09:21] yes [09:21] tristan3199: will insert harddrive back into laptop to see if it worked. [09:21] i have [09:21] same proble, [09:21] same problem [09:21] blucalculatr: sweet.. fingers crossed.. [09:21] gaurang: First try disabling compiz effects(From compiz fusion icon) [09:21] where is that icon?? [09:22] @kanhiya where is that icon?? [09:22] Gaurang: well thats probably as fast as it will go with that spec of system, I would suggest adding a heap more ram which is a cheap upgrade which will make a big difference [09:22] Gaurang: type compiz in the search box of dash [09:22] gaurang: sudo apt-get install compiz-icon I THINK [09:22] tristan3199: no, that is not correct at all [09:22] to make it simple I need to check whether a process is exsisting or not programmatically using a shell script [09:23] alanbell.. thank you... [09:23] ok [09:23] got that [09:23] but still my cursor is moving toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow [09:23] tristan3199: fusion-icon i believe [09:23] the package is compizconfig-settings-manager but you don't need that [09:23] Gaurang: first measure drive performance [09:23] ok kanhiya [09:23] i think , u are using several applications at once [09:23] Gaurang: the mouse cursor is jerky? [09:24] that is diskutil right?? [09:24] yes its very jerky!! [09:24] hi [09:24] Gaurang: yes, i think you are using many applications at once [09:24] ponrajuganesh: Assuming you have the pid, kill -0 $pid will return true if a signal can be sent to it. [09:25] no i aint [09:25] Gaurang: like music or moive play, firefox, downloading etc [09:25] hi can somebody help me with a simple hostname problem? [09:25] tristan3199: IT WORKED! HAHA! YES! thankyou so much === alexander is now known as Guest16072 [09:25] using too many apps [09:25] thanks geirha [09:25] blucalculatr: awsome.. time for a nap.. lol... [09:25] alexander bank? [09:25] Gaurang: what graphic card are you using? [09:25] enjoy your nap good sir. [09:25] intel onboard [09:25] . [09:25] 512 mb === sbts-tv_ is now known as sbts-tv [09:25] will do... NIGHT GUYS.... [09:25] I can ping testmachine1 without a problem, but doesn't matter what i try i cant ping testmachine1.example.lan === Guest16072 is now known as erhan [09:26] i installed acrobat 9.4.7 but the menus are blank - unity integration problem - ive read that i need to do something with env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= acroread but I'm not sure where to put and to make it so that when I double click on a PDF file acroread opens up with menus working [09:26] intel graphics worked well [09:26] yes i does [09:26] but ubuntu doesnt [09:26] my hardwares just [09:26] gaurang sudo apt-get install fusion-icon if you want to turn off compiz.. [09:26] 2 years old [09:26] i don't know about your graphics :) [09:26] ok [09:26] can somebody help me? [09:26] my laptop is almost 5 years old now [09:26] running 11.10 [09:27] ubuntu owns [09:27] Gaurang: Do one thing, just switch back to older version, safe bet, save your time, [09:27] :) [09:27] <[[thufir]]> why is ruby 1.9.1 virtual? I want to install it. DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10" [09:27] ok kanhiya [09:27] <[[thufir]]> I don't have to upgrade again, do I? [09:28] Tristam: no, fusion icon installs a tray icon to turn on and off fusion. Unity does not support tray icons, it has indicators, plus unity runs as a compiz plugin so turning off compiz is a *bad* idea with the unity 3d session [09:28] Gaurang: U should update if something is not working if everything is working fine , no need to update, except secuirty updates [09:28] ubuntu is based on debian right?? [09:28] ok [09:28] im updating right now !1 [09:28] lol [09:29] so anybody have any ideas regarding my question? [09:29] :P [09:29] <[[thufir]]> can you have ruby 1.9.1 on ubuntu 10.10? [09:29] Gaurang: the mouse cursor being jerky when just moving around points to a total lack of memory or a very poorly supported graphics card [09:30] ok alen [09:30] also is debian good os?? [09:30] and got repos like ubuntu?? [09:30] Gaurang: I would be surprised if the unity2d session was also jerky, I would be interested to know the output of lspci |grep VGA [09:30] debian is cool, but not supported here [09:31] ok alan [09:31] hey guys [09:31] I'm in a problem [09:31] !debian [09:31] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [09:31] !debian [09:31] visual1ce: The easiest would probably be to use alacarte (you might need to install it). In alacarte, locate acroread and edit the item to add the env part in front of the command. [09:31] I've installed ubuntu 11.10 just now [09:31] But I can't install any software........... [09:31] thanx geirha [09:31] like sudo apt-get install just shows the error message. [09:32] nafcool: Did you keep your homedir from a previous Ubuntu release? [09:32] nafcool: what error message? pastebin it if it is more than one line [09:32] geirha: I didn't get that. :) [09:33] Gaurang: more ram is a cheap upgrade whatever you end up doing [09:33] ok alan [09:33] i also got 4 gb swap memory [09:33] it should have worked fine!! [09:33] nafcool: Nvm. I was thinking of a different issue. if apt-get is failing too, it's not what I thought it could be. [09:33] its unable to locate package x [09:33] what to do? [09:33] nafcool: you do need to use "sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME" right? [09:34] nafcool: what package? [09:34] Gaurang: Than there is problem with graphics card drivers in that version [09:34] zykotick9: right [09:34] AlanBell: any package [09:35] nafcool: so, what package are you installing? [09:35] ok kanhiya i would like a solution to it please [09:35] AlanBell: no package is installing [09:35] I'm running (G)LAMP on my old computer determined to turn it into a file server, problem: I don't know how to acess it from the outside, tutorials assume i already do [09:35] Gaurang: Safe bet, if there is update available for graphics than do that otherwise switch to older version , just like me :) [09:35] nafcool: have you run "sudo apt-get update" ? [09:35] nafcool: ok, I will pick one then. do sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install inkscape [09:35] kanhiya [09:35] you use old relaease?? [09:35] also Ubuntu Software Center - when I select any software the install button isn't coming. [09:35] naf cool [09:35] No, i have plannned to use ubuntu 11.04 [09:36] first you should update your cache [09:36] or linuxmint 11.04 [09:36] naf cool [09:36] first you should update your cache [09:36] AlanBell, zykotick9: alright [09:36] open terminal with ctrl+alt+t [09:36] then type [09:36] sudo apt-get updat [09:36] sudo apt-get update [09:36] !tab > Gaurang [09:36] Gaurang, please see my private message [09:36] Gaurang: Right now i am using ubuntu11.10 and only bluetooth problem presists [09:37] I am logged in as sudo on a server and want to move the home folder of a user. I was going to use this (sudo usermod -d /path/to/new/home -m) but where do I put the username? [09:37] I need to use bluetooth many times, that's why i am switching back [09:38] So yeah how would one go about finding out the right shit to type into a browser to access a file server using LAMP? [09:38] kanhiya [09:38] scrollbar isnt working - online i only find suggestions to use evince... i was but it was freezing with a particular PDF file - 17.5MB / 306 pages [09:38] i saw its review [09:38] its cool [09:38] AFD: At the end [09:39] geirha: thank you [09:39] Cause ya know that would be a great help and all [09:40] azriel: just put in the hostname to get the apache home page if you have just installed a lamp stack on it [09:40] azriel: or explain the situation a bit more comprehensively [09:41] I don't know enough about the situation to explain it === Mud is now known as Guest3264 [09:41] hears what i just read: just put in the goobdigook to get the apache home page [09:41] :| [09:42] I live in the woods bro, I learn best with a teacher, google is useless to me [09:42] AlanBell, zykotick9: thanks. it worked [09:42] azriel: I don't know your server name, me guessing isn't going to be quicker than you finding out :) [09:42] guys, I just found free mumble service http://cleanvoice.ru/free/mumble/en.html [09:42] what are you thinking about? [09:42] how do i find my server name? [09:42] I have a weird internal mic issue (It was working fine until the last kernel update) dmesg is reading the pci but when looking at the sounds setting it isn't showing. [09:42] In Ubuntu Tweak, what's the apt-cache? If I clear it, what happens? [09:43] azriel: do you know it's IP address? [09:43] i know my routers ip address from googling it [09:43] azriel: If the server is set up on your computer, go to http://www.ipchicken.com/ I think [09:43] Where should i start debuging this out... pulse? or Alsa [09:43] but i know nothing more than that [09:43] azriel: do you have access to the server? [09:43] Seryth: /var/cache/apt/archive stores all your downloaded programs/updates. [09:43] its sitting next to me if thats what you mean [09:43] azriel: is the server running on your computer? if so in firefox just go to "localhost" === tapas_ is now known as tapas [09:43] zykotick9: So what would happen if I clear the apt-cache? [09:44] that only works on the computer [09:44] Seryth: that space would be saved, but IF required, any packages for reinstall would need to be downloaded again [09:44] i want the thing to acess from OTHER computers === mamsiepansieinda is now known as roger-federer [09:44] azriel: right, fine you have another computer there right? [09:44] zykotick9: Okay, thanks. [09:45] yes [09:45] ok, and what did you call the server? [09:45] as in? [09:45] like what did i name the computer? [09:46] azriel: so when you are in a terminal it should say "azirel@mordor:~$" if you called the server mordor [09:46] ok thats godcomplex [09:46] right, so in your other computer in the browser you can go to "godcomplex.local" [09:46] thanks by the way i know im not an easy person to help [09:47] kick ass now how could i access it from outside my local network? [09:48] azriel: you need to configure your router to do port forwarding of port 80 to your server. Can't really help you with that, all routers are different. [09:49] >:| [09:49] azriel: if you do ping godcomplex.local it will tell you the internal IP address of your server [09:49] your router will need to redirect traffic from the outside on port 80 to that address. Might be called network address translation, port forwarding or virtual servers, depending on the router. [09:50] alanbell: what if he put ddwrt onto his router.. is that complicated?? [09:50] when displayed the process with the ps command the time is display in the 00:00:00 format, so it does display only 1 sec for small processes, how to change this so that it does display milli and micro second [09:50] tristan3199us: it is completely unneccessary, but fun in itself [09:51] Don't make fun of me im not smart D: [09:51] lol [09:51] azriel: To port fowards, go to http://portforward.com/ it's very easy. [09:51] :D [09:52] so nobody here uses Banshee with lastfm? [09:52] Seryth: interesting resource, thanks! [09:52] guest54438: i tried it out.. doesnt work... [09:52] !question | Guest54438 [09:52] Guest54438: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:53] guest54438: maybe its not supported anymore.. tells me i need to update firefox, chrome ect.. what browser do you use? [09:53] AlanBell: Hey. Yeah, it's very useful, they've got instructions for about 9999999999999999999 different routers, and if yours isn't there it's likely another set of instructions will work! [09:53] tristan: thank you for responding... I use chrome [09:53] tristan: but I already authorized it [09:53] tristan: no problem there... [09:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11636256#post11636256 If anyone has a spare minute, problems with xfce themes. [09:54] Guest54438: I use banshee with lastfm.. whats the issue? [09:54] tristan: it just doesn't show any of the tracks I have played [09:54] guest54438: i did the same.. with firefox, and chrome.. perhaps last.fm has info on there site.. have you checked already? [09:54] could anyone help over this [09:54] when displayed the process with the ps command the time is display in the 00:00:00 format, so it does display only 1 sec for small processes, how to change this so that it does display milli and micro second [09:54] How can I see when my system was last upgraded? [09:54] how to format like that [09:54] Guest54438: its typical.. lastfm and any service (including the "official" last.fm client) are completely unreliable.. don't lose sleep over it.. [09:55] Guest54438: it will start scrobbling eventually [09:55] with apt-get upgrade [09:55] guest54438: well my browser at last.fm's site knows what kind of music i have stored.. but banshee doesnt play from last.fm.. at least not for me.. [09:56] scbunn: does banshee play songs from last.fm for you?? [09:57] scbunn: and what about youtube scobbling? is that worth trying out?? [09:57] tristan3199us: never tried.. I thought the issue was not scrobbling tracks.. but you can't play tracks from last.fm without paying a subscription.. so maybe thats it [09:57] tristan3199us: I didn't know you could scrobble youtube [09:57] tristan: yeah I have checked repeatedly [09:58] scbunn: i just saw it when i was checking out the last.fm extension.. [09:58] scbunn: it just isn't scrobbling my activity [09:59] is there another way to sync my playcount to a cloud? I need to sync my playcount across devices :( [09:59] Guest54438: ^^ see my previous comment.. its just plain buggy and usualy on lastfm's side of the house.. currently banshee is double scrobbling all of my tracks.. not much you can do about it [09:59] scbunn: I see [09:59] scbunn: can you recommend another program/ service? [09:59] All I want is a FTP server, why is this so difficult? C: [09:59] scbunn: I just want to sync my playcounts [09:59] scbunn: I am learning a language and want to keep track of how much I have listened to a given track [10:00] Guest54438: not for syncing playcounts.. but libre.fm is the GNU version of last.fm and it usually works more reliably but typically requires trickery to setup and configure [10:01] Guest54438: not sure if they have an API that you can tap into or not.. [10:01] scbunn: I see [10:01] Guest54438: it does seem like when you "authorize" a new service on last.fm it takes a day or so before it starts scrobbling so you might want to check tommarrow and see if it is scrobbling your tracks [10:01] can anyone tell me how to make dolphin default over nautilus.. [10:02] scbunn: I can't believe that after all of these years iTunes and iPod are still the only/best way to reliably do that :( [10:02] i know how to change default audio / video apps ect.. but seems that i cant choose a default file manager.. what am i missing.. [10:03] Guest54438: yea.. last.fm was really good when it was audioscrobbler.. since the change the actually scrobbling part of the service is horrible.. [10:03] tristan3199us: in stock unity system settings -> System Info -> Default Applications [10:04] scbunn: oh well... thank you for the info :) [10:04] Guest54438: np.. hopefully it starts working for you :) [10:05] scbunn: by any chance, do you use Android? [10:05] scbunn: all i see is web/mail/calander/music/video/photos [10:05] azriel: type "ftp user localhost 22" from terminal. Go to http://www.ipchicken.com/ . Copy the IP you see to the clipboard. Go to http://www.net2ftp.com/ . Put in the IP you copied, port 22, your username, your password, and /home/ for the initial directory. You can now access you computer. There are other things you should do to make it more secure, which you can PM me about. [10:06] tristan3199us: errr. nevermind.. when I looked at "dolphin" my mind jumped to android and I thought of a browser.. sorry I don't know [10:06] I want to get an Android phone... can any of them sync play count data with Banshee? [10:06] azriel: Make sure port 22 is fowarded before you do that, btw. [10:06] I can't forward ports D: [10:06] Guest54438: Just moved over from an iphone to a galaxy nexus.. its uses MTP and works some of the time..

Go to the site I linked to earlier http://www.portfoward.com/ [10:06] Guest54438: but I'll move back to iphone after my contract.. the galaxy nexus was a bait-and-switch program [10:06] llutz: Oopsie, 21 is ftp right?

But then all the lazarus windows have gone to freeze not showing more their content. Finally, the program is closed, but then reopened.

[11:03] !nounity | senayar [11:03] senayar: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.

Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty?

[11:11] hey , i am looking for the font package that has gisha in it(its a windows system font) [11:11] tried googleing it but didnt find anything [11:12] bazhang: thanks for interpreting the question , but what really is unstability [11:12] is it frequent slowdown or crashing [11:12] ? [11:13] AlanBell: thanks a tonne for the prompt reply,sorry for reading it late [11:13] gener1c: if that isn't in the msttcorefonts package then you are out of luck. You could copy the .ttf file from a windows machine, but I doubt they license you to do that. [11:13] but isn't GUI wise,fedora better,due to KDE [11:14] oh crap [11:14] iiitd: sorry it crashed for you, specifically what crashed? [11:14] whenever i run the software center for updates [11:14] it crashes [11:14] fedora with kde sucks, mate [11:14] Need suggestion for IRC client for 11.10 !!! [11:14] n3tw0rk3r: from a novice's point of view-whats the diff between kde and genome [11:15] NimeshNeema: I like irssi which is a command line client, smuxi is OK and xchat is OK too [11:16] iiitd: I just thinks that gnome have a user friendly interface [11:16] n3tw0rk3r: iiitd they both are window managers. KDE is more resource intensive than Gnome [11:16] imho of course [11:17] what in gods name does it take so long for the ubuntu software center to load? its like win95 [11:17] osmosis: use synaptic [11:17] n3tw0rk3r: whats up with KDE [11:18] iiitd: dude, its just not comfortable at all... thats it. [11:18] n3tw0rk3r: thanks mate [11:18] NimeshNeema: GNOME and KDE are much more than just window managers [11:18] osmosis: if it is any consolation it should start a lot faster in 12.04 [11:18] AlanBell, yes..thats a relief. [11:18] iiitd: one more time, mate. it's imho. [11:19] LjL: Oh Hi. Thanks for the info. Can you please elaborate [11:19] How can I mark every package as automatically installed, except a few explicit ones? [11:19] from the CLI [11:19] foxnet: no luck.. sorry [11:19] LjL: can u elaborate on KDE [11:19] and Gnome [11:19] they re much more than window managers [11:20] NimeshNeema: a window manager manages windows. GNOME and KDE both have a window manager (in KDE it's called KWin), but it's just a small part of the desktop environment. [11:20] what else pivotal role do they play [11:20] anyone know how to make dolphin file manager my default?? will it mess with the system to much?? [11:20] iiitd: there is a different menu system, different filemanager different set of apps for most things [11:20] !kde | iiitd [11:20] iiitd: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [11:21] iiitd, NimeshNeema: they are basically the whole GUI. the include a window manager, of course, then they have a "shell" (like, panels or launchers or whatever), then they have a file manager (Nautilus in GNOME, Dolphin in KDE), and then the most intricate thing, they have libraries that programs use to show their GUI and do things. that's why there are "GNOME programs" and "KDE programs", even though GNOME programs can still run under KDE (they just need the [11:21] GNOME libraries) and vice versa. [11:22] LjL: AlanBell thanks a lot [11:22] LjL:what an explanation [11:22] thanks a tonne man [11:22] if a package in aptitude has v next to it i means its not installed right?

Can't seem to find a way of switching between the languages. I've got SCIM installed, if that is relevant info.. [12:27] been in the forums.. nobody knows.. so im going to try something new.. seems that people had the result i want on accident.. and i want to use that flaw to my advantage. [12:27] tristan3199: i could tell you how to set the default file manager under xfce, but i don't know about gnome or kde [12:28] well how about the xfce setting manager.. do you know where to obtain the package name.. [12:29] ./configure odesnt seem to work for the extracted tar.bz2 folder [12:29] tristan3199: you do realise that the settings managers are for their respective desktop environments? changing the default file manager using kde settings will only change it for kde etc [12:29] doesnt* [12:30] why???

[12:35] found it in the software center. but it needs to remove kdebase-runtime-data and plasma-scriptengin-declarative [12:35] tristan3199: isn't there a gconf setting you could edit to change the default file manager?

[12:38] gulzar: any idea what kde-settings-managers name would be.. and what switch would i add to deny the extra packages it wants to load with them.. [12:38] marvin_: do you hear any sound? [12:39] @auronandace: no [12:39] tristan3199: sorry I am on Arch ... try to get name from synaptic [12:39] marvin_: try typing alsamixer in the terminal to check if it is muted [12:40] tristan3199: the best you can do is "sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends packagename". the dependencies, like the name implies, are necessary. [12:40] it's not, everything on and set to maximum [12:40] how can i check my graphic card memory information ? [12:42] raju: depends on your graphics card [12:44] auronandace: i posted some things on http://pastebin.com/UtZZWKct ... seems that the card is recognized [12:45] auronandace: do you know how to make the gconf settings "stick". i did find them in home/tristan/.irssi/config [12:45] tristan3199: no idea, i don't use gnome [12:45] what is that app which shows sysinfo like distroname, hostname,kernal, WM, filesytem etc. in terminal whenever we open a new terminal winodw? [12:46] uname? [12:46] law: its like showing distro logo + sysinfo and undet it we can type commands.. [12:47] gulzar: check /etc/update-motd.d/ . It's probably landscape [12:48] well gulzar is on arch, auronandace is in something else.. whos accually using ubuntu?? or KDE??? [12:48] <^^> hola. === ^^ is now known as Guest21349 [12:49] tristan3199: ;( [12:49] tristan3199: ;-) [12:50] gulzar: It's archey I beleive, but that's on ArchLinux... I dunno if Ubuntu's got anything like that [12:50] ...|2?

On mint they show some thoughts... on archbang they show their logo and sysinfo.. but what exactly it is? [12:51] wtf. [12:51] tristan3199: no idea what your question even is. Just ask your question and stop with the "guess I may be on my own", etc. [12:51] gulzar: it is what I said [12:51] Ìû [12:51] jrib: he wants to change the default file manager from nautilus to dolphin [12:52] jrib: i already did.. for a few hours now.. just simply trying to put dolphin as default over nautilus.. [12:52] jrib: and he thinks installing kde settings is the way to do it [12:52] There, better. [12:52] thank you auronandace [12:52] gulzar: on ubuntu, the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/ are what are responsible for what you see when you log in [12:52] gulzar: Archey is the one showing the Arch logo and sysinfo.

[13:15] please confirm that my swap mem. is more than 5 GiB and is in use [13:15] meerkats: swap is usually slow so hopefully your OS uses your memory before using swap [13:16] Slart, you mean the 4 GiB of free space I have... [13:17] meerkats: I mean... let's take my system as an example.. I have 8 GB of RAM memory installed.. I also have swap enabled.. but unless I need more than 8 GB or memory space it won't use swap at all.. there's no reason to use swap since I can fit everything into regular RAM === enchilado|dead is now known as enchilado [13:18] use swap only for lots of small, concurrent apps [13:18] meerkats: the image you posted only shows a harddrive where you have a partition that is marked as "swap area" this doesn't mean your system is using that swap area.. it just means that it's marked as swap space on the disc [13:19] database engine performance plummets if swap gets used [13:19] !swap | meerkats, here is some more info [13:19] meerkats, here is some more info: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster.

[13:28] gtg [13:28] * ankit_frenz tries for the last time before switching to other methods [13:29] meerkats: see that last line.. the one starting with "swap".. it tells you that you've got 5890 MB of swap .. ie about 6 GB.. and you're actually using 331 MB at the moment [13:30] meerkats: I'm not sure if unity uses more memory than fallback... haven't really compared the two [13:30] #necro [13:32] Hello, how do I disable the confirmation dialog that appears when I press the power button in 11.10 ? === niceguyj_ is now known as niceguyjames [13:34] hello, I got a new "HP Compaq 6200 Pro SFF PC" from work and I cannot make ubuntu detect my 2 identical monitors.

[13:57] Pepp-elito, or whatever you see in ifconfig [13:58] Pepp-elito: disabling in network manager does not manipulate the led light.

[14:36] my xfce login no longer starts a window manager (even after a reboot) [14:36] i suspect something is corrupted in the settings. any idea what .dir i should move away?

[14:38] I want to run winda 7 and Ubutu 11.10 [14:38] LjL: the paste bin I get is an error [14:38] !dualboot | CyberDawg [14:38] CyberDawg: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [14:38] every time that I go to apt-get almost anything I get that [14:38] I_am_NOT_root: how can a tool know a.) if a file is complete as it has no reference b.) where it was downloaded from c.) interact with a program to download them [14:39] auronandace, thankk you :) [14:39] CyberDawg: no worries :) [14:40] LjL, do I have to save the whole text, including Begin pgp and End pgp? === ozior is now known as DrWanot [14:40] meerkats: yes, just wget the file. === DrWanot is now known as sesjaXD [14:41] meerkats: wget http://debian.yacy.net/yacy_orbiter_key.asc ; sudo apt-key add yacy_orbiter_key.asc [14:41] LjL, many thanks [14:41] LjL, the pastebin is what happens when I run apt-get install xyz; and then it says for me to upgrade the other packages, but I have to change all my sources in /etc/apt/list.sources or something [14:42] tas74: well i have no idea what's going on, but pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list so i can have a look [14:42] ikonia, a.) smplayer for example knows if a file is complete by displaying a playing duration and aborting before b.) why should a tool care where I downloaded the media file from?? it's youtube and c.) question not formulated clearly [14:43] LjL, okay [14:43] I_am_NOT_root: to be able to download the file if it's not complete, it has to know where to get it from [14:43] Hello, how do I disable the confirmation dialog that appears when I press the power button in 11.10 ? [14:44] ikonia: that doesn't matter. I just want a tool to tell on the command line if a media file is complete or not. [14:44] I_am_NOT_root: that doesn't matter? ikonia just told exactly why it matters [14:45] I_am_NOT_root: then you shouldn't ask for it to auto download the film if it is corrupt === szal_ is now known as szal [14:45] I_am_NOT_root: you already know smplayer can tell you if a file is complete or not, so job done [14:45] 'Panic occurred - switching to text console' [14:46] uh-oh [14:46] you then asked for it to get the file for you if it was not complete - that's why it matters, if that requirements is gone, then you already know the answer, smplayer [14:46] auronandace, ... smplayer does not know a thing, whether it is from youtube or not and how I downloaded it from there but it knows if a media file is complete or not; but since smplayer is not scriptable I need something like that on the command line [14:46] I_am_NOT_root: if you re-read your orignial question, that is why people are telling you it matters [14:47] I_am_NOT_root: why not try mencoder or mplayer.. see if there is some kind of option that might be useful [14:47] I_am_NOT_root: if smplayer can do it then surely mencoder or mplayer can do it too [14:47] Slart, sounds reasonable... [14:47] I_am_NOT_root: what are you using to download these youtube videos? why doesn't that have some sort of file verification feature?

[15:00] Hi. [15:00] LjL: I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/FDZkzqM4 [15:01] this is when I tried to do... apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev [15:01] I commented out the line you told me to and ran `apt-get update` [15:01] My wireless connection is not working. I really dont understand why. Could someone help? Thanks. [15:02] auronandace: It's a phenomenally stupid implementation that has been passed down from above. A data file will be dumped into the directory daily by a local cronjob, for external retrieval. I want these guys to be able to delete the files once they've got them, rather than crying to me when the file list gets unwieldy, without them being able to send anything to the server.

I would like to know of a back up program which recreates the complete folder structure at the backed up location and not a snapshot or a compressed back up.I looked at ubuntu site and tried out grsync , deja dup and simple back up but am still looking. [15:11] hrm okay [15:11] Please help [15:11] Vivekananda, clone? [15:11] I'll give this a shot, but it's quite crazy it seems [15:12] it seems like this is a big problem though and that I will encounter this again [15:12] Vivekananda, what was wrong with grsync? [15:12] bazhang, please tell me the name of the program? Are you referring to clonezilla? [15:12] tas74, not necessarily... but this is what happen when you add repositories not meant for Ubuntu ;) [15:12] hrm, we've had this problem many times [15:12] is there a way that we could check if this will happen again? [15:13] I really don't want to fix this on a case by case basis [15:13] then stop adding non-ubuntu repos [15:13] tas74: to avoid the problem simply stick to just the ubuntu repos [15:13] tas74: i don't know of a way to check for all packages not coming from the repos. [15:13] hrm [15:13] so I got this... [15:13] The following packages will be REMOVED: apache2 apache2-mpm-workerThe following packages will be DOWNGRADED: apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common [15:14] when I ran the command you told me [15:14] seems like I should do this though? [15:14] tas74: well, this *will* temporarily remove apache2, depends whether you're ok with that. [15:14] GeminiDomino, grsync is ok but there is not option for automated , time based back up [15:14] okay I see [15:15] any one know of another good usb creator? I have been using unetbootin, but am finding it fails quite a lot when it comes to writing to usb [15:15] Since grsync is, AFAIK, just a frontend for rsync, couldn't you just use rsync with a cron job? [15:15] yep I was thinking of doing that [15:16] case`, with which version of ubuntu [15:16] bazhang> 11.0, i also use mint debian [15:17] Hi guys, I have a question you may have heard before, I'm trying to PXE boot CB10 and being asked for a username and password, I've looked over the web but none of the combinations worked, giving it an additional live before boot is not turning it [15:17] but I thought that there must be a program which already integrate these features and also integrates the snapshot and the tar gz compressed back up thing [15:18] Not unless something like "Amanda" (assuming that's even still around. I haven't used it in like ten years) does that, but even that's just a wrapper around what I'm guessing is rsync, dd, and tar, respectively [15:19] LjL: I'm still getting: apache2-prefork-dev : Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed [15:19] E: Broken packages [15:19] when I run apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev that is [15:19] Help audio is not working [15:19] LjL: Thankyou, install firefox-globalmenu on its own didn't work, so I backed up my profile folder, did apt-get uninstall firefox then install firefox and restored profile folder now back as it was thx [15:20] tas74: try installing that manually (sudo apt-get install libaprutil1-dev) and seeing what it says [15:20] jediael: what does alsamixer look like?

[15:26] rcmaehl: well, you can do that yourself if you want, but it wouldn't be a very good idea to arbitrarily limit what the machine can do by default. [15:26] rcmaehl: they are set quite reasonable [15:26] hi, is there a reason after installing linux-image-2.6.38-13-generic-pae /boot/vmlinuz* and /boot/initrd* become rw------- [15:26] rcmaehl: anyway maybe this would be better discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:26] Hi All: I currently have a ubuntu dual-booting with a win7 (I installed ubuntu later). However, due to the small size of Ubuntu's partition, I think I have to take some action. Remove the Ubuntu and reinstall? Resizing the partition? Or do you guys have better ideas? [15:26] GeminiDomino, hope you could throw some light one other small things messed up in my lucid install.One thing is that on each reboot the headphone volume is maximised in the alsamixer applet.Also the Amarok player is always full screen and there are no top right corner buttons to close or max/min.Also, amarok has no sound if I open any other app which requires sound eg if I open a browser. [15:27] http://imagebin.org/195266 [15:28] jediael: that looks good to me [15:28] !sound | jediael [15:28] jediael: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[15:28] Vivekananda: Not sure, since I don't use Amarok, but going by the common keypress, is there any chance pressing "F11" will pull it out of fullscreen mode?

Then yeah, I guess it translates that way. :) I mostly use ubuntu on the server-side. [15:32] GeminiDomino, /msg ubottu xmms gives a bit more info [15:34] ikonia: ok I chown'd the owner to myself and off of root. but that only lets me make changes to the drive. Which is ok.

I fixed it by choosing an older version of the kernel at load time. Is there a way for permanently avoiding the kernel to be updated? [16:01] Or is there another way around this? [16:02] Hi, I have successful installed glusterfs. I made an entry to the fstab (srv1 /mnt/glusterfs glusterfs defaults,noatime,_netdev 0 0) but its not mounted after a reboot.

[16:51] jason_: it only takes up the size of the image [16:51] jason_: you could try with clonezilla [16:52] auronandace: right, which wold take up 4gb of space and 4gb unallocated. [16:52] so I would think I could resize it afterwards === simion314_ is now known as simion314 [16:53] jason_: not as simple as that i think, because when you dd it it won't be recognised as a partition so you can't resize it [16:53] auronandace: now that I think about it, I'm not sure I agree. Because DD takes every little bit as is...

[16:55] jason_: try it, you'll see there won't be a partition to manipulate [16:55] auronandace: actually, I know there will be. [16:55] jason_: you could just try it. worst case is the 8gb will be corrupt and you'll have to format it. then you can just copy the files directly. [16:55] jason_: go for it [16:55] auronandace: DD takes everything, it doesnt care about partitions. === sadpanda is now known as apachepanda [16:55] Morning.

[16:58] jason_: then what are you dd'ing?

[17:23] okk hrmarch ..i ll try bro :) [17:24] nd if i gt again some prob lll ask you [17:24] sumit_ preprocessor line for stdio should be "#include " without quotes === deegee is now known as drussell [17:25] sumit_ basic linux compiling a C program guide here: http://www.linfo.org/create_c1.html [17:26] sumit_ if you don't want to use the command line for compiling, you could try one of the IDEs for Linux like Eclipse or Code::Blocks [17:26] sumit_: also, you are using Blackbuntu. this is Ubuntu support only. even of the questions are somewhat distro-agnostic. [17:26] s/of/if/ [17:27] thnxx nyrpnz [17:27] and menptok thnx bro's [17:27] hey, for compiling for an embedded device i need gcc-4.3 on my ubuntu 11.10 machine. is this easily possible? [17:27] sumit_ no problem [17:28] saftsack I don't see it in the repositories [17:28] sooo anyone who understands multi-arch here? [17:28] !info gcc [17:28] gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.107ubuntu5)): GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.1-2ubuntu5 (oneiric), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB [17:29] nyrpnz, ok, maybe i try to copy a compiler from an old system. [17:29] saftsack: try adding older version repos but 4.3 likely conflicts with multi-arch because nobody rebuilt it for current systems [17:29] saftsack the versions on gcc are here: http://gcc.gnu.org/news.html [17:30] why would the ubuntu 11.10-desktop x86 livecd installer not see my hard drive partitions or allow me to create/select a new one to install to? the boot device selection dropdown sees /dev/sda, and I can ctrl-alt-f1 and 'sudo fdisk /dev/sda' just fine, but all the partition related buttons in the installer are greyed out so I can't create or select one to install to [17:30] saftsack: You can install the old Maverick packages. Look here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gcc-4.3&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [17:31] saftsack good luck, getting a program to work properly is hard enough without worrying about the compiler [17:31] Bonkers, probably you have the max of 4 primairy partitions ? [17:31] how can I configure compiz in Ubuntu 11.10 without the risk of the desktop crushing please help [17:31] OerHeks, nope, I even cleared the entire partition table, so there are 0 [17:32] I just tried the latest mythbuntu a swell, still same exact problem [17:32] hola [17:32] saftsack: create a minimal VM on Ubuntu and install an older release that has the gcc you need. use that machine to compile. [17:33] i transfered file via bluetooth to my ubuntu, where can i find that file ? [17:33] Bonkers, is it a Sata drive ? and is the controler set to AHCI or IDE-compatible ? [17:33] tried file search, but didn't find it [17:34] Bonkers, sata needs AHCi to be recognized [17:34] thanks, mneptok nyrpnz and dajhorn . i will try your suggests in row, till i success. [17:34] mobile phone definately says it's transferred and ubuntu also shows up that the file was succesfully received [17:34] saftsack listen to mneptok, he knows what he's doing [17:36] hello mother fuckers [17:36] !language | BobDillpwn [17:36] BobDillpwn: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:39] hello [17:39] where can I remove ppa's I have installed [17:39] OerHeks, the drive is certainly recognized, fdisk from the exact same linux boot works just fine, it's gotta be an installer oddity/bug, I can just ctrl-alt-f1 from the installer and fdisk, mkfs, mount etc just fine [17:39] they are failing to update when I update my sources [17:39] shadaloo: to remove the actual packages installed, "sudo apt-get remove packagename". to remove the repo, delete the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [17:40] LjL: I see, the .d is new to me [17:40] shadaloo: you need ppa-purge to remove a }ppa and purge all the pacjages that installed [17:40] jum.... they always go [17:41] found it in public folder. don't know why that folder isn't searched when i'm using gui to do a search on my filesystem [17:41] thx anyway [17:41] Bonkers, in IDE modus it will be recognized, but because the buttons are greyed out, my experience is this bios settin AHCI <> IDE is the problem. [17:42] hey, is there a way to make all start up apps show up in start up manager in ubuntu 11.10? === try3368 is now known as _saurabh_ [17:43] Nephy: That doesn't make much sense. [17:44] Nephy: If you mean those started at boot time, you have to check /etc/init.d or /etc/init/ [17:45] hey brothers cant we use clrscr(); and getch(); in linux c programming ?? [17:45] we can use dis in windows 7 [17:46] sumit_: getch() will certainly work, I'm not so sure about clrscr() but it might be. [17:46] is this a good place to ask for a bug I have with Ubuntu 11.10 ? [17:46] sumit_: You need to #include the respective headers of course [17:46] cawel: Yeah. [17:47] sumit_: the system() is the main thing to look out for... since that passes the command to the OS :) [17:47] sumit_: clrscr is non-standard function [17:47] hello [17:47] sumit_: if you want something like that look at readline or curses library [17:48] does anyone know how to open a programme in terminal but hide terminal while program is open [17:48] theadmin: I mean those in /ect/xdg/autostart, only some of them appear in "Startup Appilcation Preferences" [17:48] i've been using terminal more and more and it just gets messy [17:48] Nephy: Hm... I'm not sure why is that so. [17:48] justa_: minimize gnome-terminal? [17:48] I was looking for an alternative to disable useless apps other than deleting them from /etc/xdg/autostart [17:49] justa_: have you considered using a terminal like tilda or yaquake? [17:49] Ljl no [17:49] sounds interesting [17:50] justa_: yaquake at least will hide when a new window comes up [17:50] LjL: It's spelt "yakuake" [17:50] If I recall right [17:50] yes [17:51] LjL: btw awn has a popup terminal too [17:51] I have a problem [17:51] I will look it up i think a better question is how to run programs in terminal in a way as they don't stop terminal getting input [17:51] justa_: programname & [17:51] use & [17:51] justa_: Easy enough. "progname &disown" [17:51] justa_: program& [17:52] Or just &, but that way it will stop working when the terminal is closed (which is no good) [17:52] How to clear soft bad sectors from a hdd [17:52] ??? [17:52] Hi everyone [17:52] OerHeks, hmm, I guess I should also mention that this box is older than SATA, is there an easy way other than the graphical installer to install ubuntu these days? [17:52] paradox_: You can't "clear" bad sectors. Bad sectors mean your drive is *physically* damaged. You need a new one. [17:52] Ahhh there we go been looking for that command line thank YOU, when you close the programme after does it automatcly shut down all instances or can i shut down program in terminal after that command [17:53] I;d like to set up a public key authentication system for my ubuntu ssh server logged in from my remote windows computer [17:53] Bonkers yes, the alternate cd is a text installer [17:53] thank you admin [17:53] justa_: You can just close the program, OR you can "killall progname" [17:53] but I have read that formating might solve the problem [17:53] great thank you [17:53] Do I generate a public/private key pair on my ubuntu server and generate a public key on my windows computer using putty_generator with my ubuntu's private key? [17:53] pk23: only on the client i believe [17:54] pk23: putty is telnet [17:54] client [17:54] so enabling telnet on server might work [17:54] paradox_: putty is a ssh client as well [17:54] pk23: you generate a key pair any any host you want to use keys 'from' and copy the public key to the remote host you want to shell in to [17:54] I need to boot my Dell Vostro 1500 with the wireless hardware switch off, otherwise it will hang mid way in the booting process. Once I'm logged in, of course I don't have any wireless capability. But when I switch the wireless hardware on, it will freeze my computer about 3-4 sec after doing so. Looking in /var/log/syslog as it comes in tells me that right after switching it on, there are 30 callbacks being suppressed, that the iwl3945 firmware [17:54] being loaded, and that iwl3945 is waiting for START_ALIVE timeout after 2000ms. [17:54] iddwb: i think that makes a bit more sense [17:55] The upgrade needs a total of 58.0 M free space on disk '/boot'. [17:55] theadmin: disown is nice but it has the problem that it disowns the last job which may be some random job in the case the program dies quickly [17:55] i encrypt my harddisks so how do i resize /boot ? [17:55] pk23: i also go w/ what iddwb said [17:55] And the network-manager shows that the "device is not ready". [17:55] OerHeks, thanks, I'll check that out [17:56] iddwb: so do I just generate the private/public key pair in putty_generator, and copy the .pub key to my server residing under the ~/.ssh as authorized_keys ? [17:56] how do i get rid of old kernels? [17:57] pk23: yes -- when you copy the pub key to user destination host you will want to append it to .ssh/authorized_keys -- authorized_keys file can store multiple pub keys enabling you to setup multiple 'hosts' that you can ssh in from. [17:58] theadmin, paradox_: *soft* bad sectors do not necessarily mean the disk is damaged (although it probably is anyway). it's theoretically possible to just try zeroing those sectors, but i don't know how that's done while preserving the filesystem. it's still possible to "fsck -c" (which runs "badblocks" and isolates and stops using the bad blocks) [17:58] hramrach_: Hm, well, I think that when you use it directly, i.e. "lol &disown" it will disown the very job created for "lol". [18:00] I'm using ubuntu 10.10 on one system and 11.x on another. One feature that I like in 11 is to ability to type in a 'search' string in the menu to find an install app. Is there a way to added that to the menu structure in ubuntu 10? [18:01] !md5 [18:01] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:02] iddwb: I think MintMenu which works very well on the older versions of Ubuntu as well has that feature, in case you're interested, here's the PPA: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/mintmenu [18:02] iddwb: hm, putty is still asking for my password when i try to log in as my username account. I've also pointed putty to my private key i generated on my windows client === sol is now known as Guest7142 [18:04] theadmin: thanks will look at MintMenu - [18:05] hello all [18:05] i have a problem with dhcp3-server, it says it is not configured to listen on any interface, even though i specify this in "/etc/default/dhcp3-server", any suggestions? [18:06] pk23: first, I'm not sure what you have done. If you created your key pair, and copied the ssh public key to the remote host, AND appended it to the .ssh/authorized_keys file, AND assured that it has the correct file mode -- then check the /var/log/auth or /var/log/secure on the remote host to see of ssh is logging anything important which could help. [18:07] hello, ive been trying without success to install xbmc on kubuntu. has any one here got it working? [18:09] dewar: are you getting any particular errors?

I have tried finding a solution to some kind of configuration interface to upstart [19:53] but all i can find is manually editing the conf files for it to disable the services. is there not a more convienient way to to this with something similar to BUM? [19:53] !boot [19:53] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [19:54] that doesn't pertain to rc.d services ActionParsnip [19:54] god-workbench: update-rc.d and rcconf both are great tools for configuring boot process (first one is CLI, second one is ncurses) [19:54] err [19:54] upstart services* [19:54] god-workbench: worth a crack [19:54] ActionParsnip, done tried that crack ;) [19:55] theadmin, i've not found anything effective at disabling services that are upstart jobs using traditional rc.d service configurations [19:55] god-workbench: http://nixcraft.com/shell-scripting/542-ubuntu-linux-control-startup-services-scripts.html may help [19:55] god-workbench: "update-rc.d" and "rcconf" are programs. apt-get install them if they aren't and run them as root [19:55] hello [19:55] i've tried all those tools and it just doesn't work. it tells you they are disabled. but they still start each time with upstart [19:55] god-workbench: Oh, okay.

Today I turned my pc on and the only options available are 640x480 or 320x240. How can I fix this?

[19:58] theadmin: manually launched it's working however not through crontab [19:58] Jeos: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please [19:58] god-workbench: override files don't modify the .conf [19:58] god-workbench: Disabling a bunch of services with upstart is as easy as: for i in crond gdm loldaemon ; do mv /etc/init/$i.conf /etc/init/$i.conf.DISABLED [19:58] trism, such a tool shouldn't be much more than a few lines of bash code. i just haven't took the time to write a script myself [19:58] god-workbench: Reenabling them is just as simple as the reverse of that [19:58] what is the list of exams to get a bachelor degree in computer science at MIT?? [19:58] theadmin: that isn't really the nicest way since you can't start them manually later [19:59] trism: True, but works [19:59] theadmin, yea i can do all that, but i was just wondering if there wasn't a tool similar to bum or rc-config that done it [19:59] AntonioBlob: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please [19:59] theadmin: but so does: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/servicename.override; [19:59] when ubuntu goes to install, the logo and dots show up then nothing appears on screen [19:59] the monitor goes into standby [19:59] any idea?

[20:07] so like i said i went with ubuntu mini, just to keep compatibility and have a wide selection of binary packages for this old machine [20:07] its what?

[20:11] buhdabot, ubuntu was originally based on debian package management, at one point there releases had pretty good backwards compatibility in the testing/unstable branches, but these days thats not the case. ubuntu has pretty much turned to its own distro using its own packages. and there isn't much cross compatibility at all anymore [20:11] There are me not answer! [20:11] HELP PLEASE! [20:11] I have a scripts which takes screenshot and uploads the png to an http server and provides an http link for it.

Maybe not a lot of cross compatibility but most packages are still made by debian. [20:12] is there a way that you can test if cronjobs are working correctly? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [20:12] bobo37774: you mean the only way to fix it is to reinstall ubuntu? [20:13] em: start by booting in recovery mode and reading the logs [20:13] I'll try to get back here when i get to work where the machine is. [20:13] but anyway the only solution to having control of your upstart services is to either edit the .conf files. or to move them from the /etc/init directory? there isn't a simple tool to do something like: upstart-config remove atd default (to remove atd from the default runlevel) [20:14] paulus68: cron the same command, just nearer to the current time [20:14] god-workbench: no, I gave you a link earlier, but the basic idea is: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/servicename.override; will stop a service from starting at boot but still allow you to start it manually (if you are using ubuntu >= 11.04) [20:14] em most base packages may be made by debian, but when it comes to desktop packages and multimedia applications i'm almost certain that the ubuntu team packages those and patches those apart from debian [20:15] god-workbench: you could always write a script to create and delete those .override files I suppose [20:15] ActionParsnip: 2 * * * * /root/hourly.sh is the current line which should run every 2 mins however it's not doing anything :( [20:15] trism, something so simple, i don't see why nobody has done something like that already [20:15] paulus68: is it cron'd as root? is the file marked as executable? [20:15] i could do that and try to contribute it i suppose [20:15] paulus68: the file extension means nothing in Linux. Does the file have the top line: #!/bin/bash [20:16] ActionParsnip: the file is marked as executable I can run it manually by entering ./hourly.sh [20:16] paulus68: did you run: sudo crontab -e to cron as root? [20:16] theadmin, i'm not om ubuntu for that :) === angabot is now known as Angablade [20:16] guess i may just do: for i in /etc/init/*.conf; do echo manual |sudo tee /etc/init/$i.override;done and then manually remove the ones from the override that i know i need to keep [20:17] ActionParsnip: yes I did [20:17] god-workbench, is that why debians flash package is 10kb and ubuntus is 60MB? [20:18] paulus68: i'd add a line in the script to email root, or display a notification using wall or notify-osd if you have a desktop UI [20:18] buhdabot, i have no idea. like i said i haven't used ubuntu in a few years regularly, nor debian, but i have used them enough to see the differences in packages, and differences in cross-compatibility [20:18] ActionParsnip: Booting with that option did not change anything. I think that the problem can be solved by just adding the 1280x1024 option to the settings->display menu [20:18] ActionParsnip: this is the script http://paste.ubuntu.com/815733/ [20:18] ActionParsnip: how would I that? [20:18] quiet honestly ubuntu's rise in popularity and user base has made debian quiet unusable when it comes to using non-free .deb binaries you find online [20:19] although i try to avoid them. it is really just easier to use ubuntu for compatibility with virtually everything.. [20:19] paulus68: I'd add some sort of notification in the script, either visually or audibly [20:21] god-workbench i think onse you have the sytem using gdebi its about the same with package installs [20:22] nomodset fixed the black screen on my dell latitute 6410 with kernel 3.0.15.

[20:23] probably has to do with the size of the phophor emiiters [20:23] bobo37774, thats not an ubuntu support issue [20:23] i would get something with that newr 1900 or whatever pixels but not so big that its messed up [20:23] bobo37774, #ubuntu-offtopic please [20:24] ok [20:24] xrandr returns: "Failed to get size of gamma for output default" [20:25] nomodset fixed the black screen on my dell latitute 6410 with kernel 3.0.15.

[20:30] for everything [20:30] ActionParsnip: Ofcourse not, but I don't see why it would do any differance [20:31] ActionParsnip: Disabling the nVidia restricted driver has allowed me to set the resolution to 1024x768, but not 1280x1024. The problem must be something related to that [20:31] pinportal: Will be an alternativ ofcourse, but not mandatory for most tasks. Something particular you have in mind? [20:31] because i saw that this news version will not have terminal, [20:31] Promille: the new user would get default settings, if it works there then your settings are at fault, if not then it is the application itself [20:32] ActionParsnip: I see. Is there any way to just set the settings to default on the current user? [20:32] Promille: which desktop are you using? if gnome-shell or possible gnome fallback, check System Settings/Keyboard/Shortcuts/System to make sure the shortcut is enabled [20:32] Promille: not sure there [20:32] trism: gnome fallback is correct [20:33] ActionParsnip: Thanks though [20:33] Promille: yes so check there, it was disabled when I first installed oneiric for me [20:33] Jeos: all I can recommend is make an xorg.conf file using: sudo nvidia-xconfig, then run: gksudo nvidia-settings and set the resolution to something and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to set the res you want [20:33] pinportal: Probably just a misunderstanding. A lot of people prefer to have a terminal rady, so it wont be completely removed at least. [20:33] thanks. Ill try it out [20:33] Where can i get default ubuntu-oneiric kernel config? I want to try ubuntu kernel on non-ubuntu system [20:34] pinportal: Maby more "hidden" === jutnux_ is now known as jutnux [20:34] Hi there, how do I change the icon theme in oneric? [20:34] does "apt-cache policy" show PPAs? [20:35] thanks [20:35] dsda: install gnome-tweak-tool and you can change the themes [20:35] zykotick9: if the package comes from a ppa, yes [20:35] dsda: there is the appearence app in dash you can run [20:35] ActionParsnip: "apt-cache policy" without a package should list where all updates are coming from, i'm curious if PPAs are individual listed, or listed at all. [20:35] ActionParsnip: it doesn't allow me to change the icontheme however [20:36] guys, any idea how to turn on TRIM on ssd software raid1 ? [20:36] OS is already installed, fs = ext4 [20:36] hi. i have a kind of noob question,but hey. Is there any youtube-downloader-type app for ubuntu ?? except for flashcache script,and youtube-dl and windows programs throught Wine.. any Gui app ? Thanks [20:37] by the way,sorry for my bad english [20:37] what is the better linux today? Ubuntu?Why? [20:37] hi [20:37] trism: Hey, it worked. Thanks man :) [20:37] anyone about trim? [20:37] xsulfur: there's a plugin you can add to ffox that does the job [20:38] pinportal: there isn't one, just use one that suits your needs and fits within your pc's specs === MrGando_ is now known as MrGando [20:38] ActionParsnip: the only thing that I can think of is that crontab is corrupted somehow since the seperate sh files are working correctly [20:38] paulus68: is cron running ? [20:39] ok, ubuntu 12,04 64bits will be recomended by canonical? why? [20:39] Hey guys, quick query regarding X11 forwarding [20:39] acerimmer, Yes,i know..i just wondering if i could find a standalone GUI app. Anyway, many thanks [20:39] ActionParsnip: how can I check this? [20:39] pinportal: because it moves with technologic and software develpoments, also it's easy for users to use [20:39] Is it like VNC in that the user on the remote computer that I'm connecting to can also interact with it? [20:40] pinportal: this channel is strictly about Ubuntu technical support, please discuss hypotheticals in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:40] NickHu: X forwarding doesn't typically provide as shared desktop no, you typically just start an application not the entire desktop (and the local user won't see it) [20:41] ok but i have a AMD 32 bits that is running ubuntu 11,10 [20:41] pinportal: ok, what's the problem? [20:42] zykotick9: Thanks :) [20:43] any idea on how to enable trim on software raid 1 ssd's ? os is already installed, fs is ext4 [20:43] ??? [20:43] how can i use the ubuntu 12,04 because my processor is 32 bits [20:43] paulus68: ps -ef | grep -i cron [20:43] !12.04 | pinportal [20:43] pinportal: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:43] pinportal: use ubuntu 32 bit [20:44] pinportal: the release is available in 32bit [20:44] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/815768/ [20:45] but i heard that canonical changed the tcnology in ubuntu and now ubuntu 64bits will now the recomended version for everybody because it is faaster, my question is how canonical made that/ [20:45] ?* [20:45] pinportal: why? you said you have a 32 bit computer. use the 32 bit software. problem sovled. [20:45] Onepamopa: i haven't enabled trim on my SSD, but according to http://techgage.com/article/enabling_and_testing_ssd_trim_support_under_linux/ it's just a matter of adding "discard" to your fstab file? good luck. [20:45] What program handles media buttons on keyboards/laptops? Like my back/forward/play-pause/volumeup/volumedown/mute keys? [20:46] sometimes they work and sometimes they don't [20:46] zykotick9 nothing else ? [20:46] if that's the case then - perfect [20:46] paulus68: its running then, cron may have a log file in /var/log [20:46] ;) [20:46] Where can i get default ubuntu-oneiric kernel config? I want to try ubuntu kernel on non-ubuntu system [20:46] * auronandace admires acerimmer (what a guy!) [20:46] pinportal: I'm on Precise 32bit right now.. [20:46] auronandace: Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back by morning. [20:46] :) [20:47] ohzie: depends. some computers have supported media keys - like my dell 1545 laptop. some don't. [20:47] pinportal: 64bit isn't faster than 32bit overall. [20:47] auronandace: I think that's the quote, I haven't seen it for years. Is it back by breakfast? [20:47] ok thanks, do you think that ubuntu is now sufficient advanced to chance my windows 7 ? [20:47] acerimmer: Mine work part of the time and don't work part of the time. Sometimes I have to reboot to make them work. I am using an HP laptop, if that helps. [20:47] pinportal: how do you mean "chance"? [20:47] ohzie: yes, by breakfast (i fear we have hit offtopic) [20:47] pinportal: and how do you mean "advanced" [20:48] Ace's catchphrase is "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!" [20:48] because i know that games as call of duty dont work!! [20:48] pinportal: that depends on what *you* need to do on your computer. [20:48] pinportal: well, it's made for WIndows. [20:48] acerimmer: Okay I was close. Like I said, it's been years. [20:48] pinportal: if you're into Windows games a lot, use Windows. [20:48] pinportal: you can check the appdb to see how it runs in wine [20:49] pinportal: if you use the PC mainly for gaming, I'd stick with windows. Running games doesn't make an OS advanced.It means the devs have neglected to code it for any other OS. [20:49] ohzie: http://askubuntu.com/questions/61750/how-to-enable-the-hp-quickplay-buttons [20:49] pinportal: so thats no reflection of the OS [20:50] pinportal: games like urbanterror, Doom3, penumbra and return to castle wolfenstein ALL run natively on BOTH OSes [20:51] hi guys, having recently problem to install flashplugin due broken dependencies. Anyone having the same problem? [20:51] I had an issue where my machine locked up from running too many virtual machines on 11.10 (vmware). How do I prevent this from happening in the future? [20:51] ActionParsnip: RtCW single player has been problematic/non-functional on my recent system... just sayin' ;) [20:51] zykotick9: Is it possible to get X forwarding to achieve this "shared desktop" effect? [20:51] baf: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' Thanks [20:52] NickHu: perhaps, but i'm unaware of a method to do it. I wouldn't even know how to ssh forward a full desktop, other then by piggiebacking on vnc. [20:52] i play only one: battlefield play for free, but i am exhausted to pay expensive to windows, because i bought a notebook with windows 7 in 2010 and now 2012 microsoft will show windows 8, and my OS will be old, in linux i can update for free but the programs are not so good than windows, so i dont know what to do.... [20:52] NickHu: the apps you run will spawn new processes and display on the client only, so no.Why do you want to access the remote desktop? [20:52] can I set a policy so that 5% of the cpu always remains free? [20:53] for user mode in ubuntu [20:53] ActionParsnip: To show my friend how to effectively use some linux stuff whilst talking over skype [20:53] pinportal: linux programs aren't as good as windows - that's funny. [20:53] pinportal: Windows 7 is still supported by Microsoft even when Windows 8 comes out. You don't need to upgrade just because a new release is out [20:53] ActionParsnip : http://pastebin.com/9tYfQBth [20:53] anyone know how to check md5sum on a file? [20:54] md5 | thyrant [20:54] hello, can somebody tell me whether a dual monitor setup(extended desktop) on an intel integrated sandy bridge VGA card is even possible? I tried ubuntu 10.04, 11.10 & 12.04. I even tried xorg-edgers ... All to no avail [20:54] !md5sum|thyrant [20:54] thyrant: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:54] !md5 | thyrant [20:54] NickHu: ahhh, a good use of VNC, you can use VNC via SSH tunnel for security [20:54] thx [20:54] baf: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-downloader:i386 [20:54] thanks! [20:55] ActionParsnip: Ah, okay, it's just I heard X11 forwarding uses less bandwidth, and I'd never used it before so I was curious :P [20:55] i tried installing ubuntu again, this time with --nomodeset [20:55] on my chat is is always show that username X getting in, username Y get out, how can i stop that, because it is boring to conversation [20:55] baf: then enable the partner repo and install adobe-installer you will get 64bit bit flash for your 64bit OS [20:55] my screen still goes into standby after the ubuntu logo and 5 dots load [20:55] pinportal: what client? [20:55] WordpressNoob: it's nomodeset not --nomodeset [20:56] ActionParsnip : cheers, but did not help http://pastebin.com/xnQr5Jhf [20:56] XChat [20:56] baf: when did I say to install flashplugin-installer?? [20:57] ActionParsnip : ahh, too quickly. I missed note from you [20:57] Afternoon, all [20:57] what can i use for shared contacts on ubuntu server 11.10 [20:57] baf: rad what I write, not what you think I write [20:58] I have a Lenovo Z570 1024 laptop, and the spec shows that it has up to 5 hours battery life. This spec is obviously with the included Windows 7. I'd like to know what I can do to get anywhere near that with Ubuntu [20:58] ActionParsnip well i pressed tab on install, then type nomodeset [20:58] myk_robinson: how much are you getting now? [20:58] the two dashes wer ejust there by default [20:58] pinportal: http://xchatdata.net/Using/Assistant shows how [20:58] genewitch: roughly 2 hours, maybe 10-15 minutes more [20:59] WordpressNoob: then its not right, i also suggest you remove: quiet splash too [20:59] genewitch: also, it takes about the same amount of time to charge, which may be normal. Never really used it with Windows [20:59] ActionParsnip : thanx, will try [20:59] thanks [20:59] myk_robinson: since ubuntu uses a generic kernel you probably have to mess with power (apmd) settings using whatever interface you can, click your battery with your mouse and the dropdown click it again [20:59] myk_robinson: have you actually gotten 5 hours use on battery power under windows?? [20:59] myk_robinson: you can see the current and rating of the battery [20:59] acerimmer: i get waaaay more battery out of ubuntu than i do windows on a netbook [21:00] but i set it up to spin down discs and run with lower backlight and idle the CPU at a lower clockspeed [21:00] genewitch: right right. I was questioning specs vs. reality [21:00] acerimmer: well, here's the thing; myk_robinson you need to see if the battery is actually capable of holding the "rated" charge anymore [21:00] myk_robinson: "generally" windows will get longer batter life then gnu/linux (unfortunatly, blame the h/w makers) [21:01] zykotick9: lol what [21:01] genewitch: here's the info you asked about the battery http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/5b1hb90z/PowerStatistics_028.png [21:01] genewitch: sad but true i'm afraid. [21:01] zykotick9: it's a KERNEL command you can send, the intel stuff uses more power on linux untill you fix the kernel settings [21:01] myk_robinson: so your battery is brand new [21:01] genewitch: I assume the battery is still in good shape, the laptop is less that a year old, bought it in August (after driving over my old laptop with my truck accidentally) [21:02] myk_robinson: yeah see that energy when full and energy(design) bit? that's what tells you how good your battery is [21:02] genewitch: this states that its current capacity is not too far off from new? [21:02] myk_robinson: a year is a long time for a battery, that's why batteries aren't typically included with one year warranties [21:03] myk_robinson: so you're using 5.5 Wh and you have 43.2 Wh, divide that, that's how long it should last doing whatever it is you were doing when you took that screen cap. obviously if you're watching videos or mining bitcoins. [21:03] <[]omegadarkest[]> ubuntu 11.10 running samba, i have 2 nic's assigned connecting it through 2 different networks. I can access the share through eth0's ip just fine but when I try the eth1 network I can see the folders but says i don't have access to it. What might I be missing? [21:03] myk_robinson: give it a week of ubuntu to adjust the nubmers, but it's saying that you're actually doing better than the spec for the battery. don't worry, mine says that too. it's a good thing. [21:03] genewitch: Ubuntu has been installed on this since day one [21:04] genewitch: that said, what did you mention earlier about apmd or something to improve on battery performance? [21:04] genewitch: also, these days, does leaving a laptop plugged in most of the time negatively impact the battery? [21:04] myk_robinson: the powertop package might give you some insights? [21:04] myk_robinson: yes it does! heat is a batteries worst enemy. [21:05] zykotick9: i ran powertop earlier today and adjusted some toggles. They don't seem to stick.. After a reboot, everything is right back to where it was. [21:05] myk_robinson: no you can leave it plugged in. it's bad to let ti go down like 40% then charge, then down 10% then charge. not horrible, but not as good as depleting it then recharging or just leaving it plugged in all the time [21:05] i keep getting this error when trying to upgrade to 12.04 [21:05] http://i.imgur.com/wWljR.jpg [21:05] crap, wrong link [21:05] 1 second [21:05] http://pastebin.com/qa3SpZg8 [21:05] PatrickC: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 at this time. [21:05] genewitch: modern batteries don't have a memory, no longer an issue. charging them all the time is! [21:05] ok thanks [21:05] myk_robinson: http://smackerelofopinion.blogspot.com/2011/12/improving-battery-life-in-ubuntu.html and another http://zinc.canonical.com/~cking/power-benchmarking/notes/reducing-power-consumption-tricks.txt [21:05] genewitch: so it theory, everything is probably fine, but Windows does some kind of magic to get these ridiculous claims of 5-8 hours? [21:06] zykotick9: it's not memory, it's just the heat that dries out the goop in the batteries faster [21:06] PatrickC: AND it's still only an alpha release. what do you expect? [21:06] myk_robinson: it allows the CPU to idle at a lower clock speed [21:06] genewitch: leaving it plugged in - is bad advice... all i'm saying. [21:06] myk_robinson: ubuntu can do it too, just not out of the box because it makes a machine feel sluggish when you wake it up [21:06] zykotick9: my laptop stays docked 9 hours a day... the battery is fine [21:07] !wfm | genewitch [21:07] genewitch: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [21:07] genewitch: regarding powertop, how do I make my toggled adjustements "stick"?

I need a filesystem-level clone tool for Ubuntu server that can run from a CD. Googling reveals what I can only surmise as being block-level clones, which is no good for my purposes. Any suggestions? [21:09] Kimble: rsync? [21:09] myk_robinson: I had this exact question. PowerTOP settings are designed _not_ to stick. This was a programming decision. They do not survive reboot. You have to manually apply them each time you boot. [21:09] I am trying to run scorched earth3d and it continues to tell me that it cannot render the graphics [21:09] myk_robinson: run it as root i imagine [21:10] Kimble: seems kinda silly...Maybe its by design so that if you totally screw something up it will revert, but if it works well, i'm sure there's a way to make it permanent === Mud is now known as Guest11285 [21:10] I don't really want to install the actual nvidia drivers as I have heard nothing but problems from them [21:10] genewitch: you have to run powertop as root. Kimble says this is normal, though [21:10] zykotick9: ok. How would I best use it to accomplish my purpose? I'd rather it cloned to a single, portable file (like a tar or some such). [21:11] myk_robinson: googling "laptop ubuntu tweaks" is generally what i would do [21:11] Kimble: so why the filesystem level requirement? clonezilla can clone drives to files? [21:11] Hello! Do you know how to remap some keys? [21:11] myk_robinson: i have half the rated power in my netbook battery that it advertised (i bought a floor model) and i still get 5+ hours out of it between charges [21:11] zykotick9: I need the ability to restore the clone to a partition of smaller size. [21:11] i just googled around [21:11] nobody knows? [21:12] Kimble: sorry, i'm not familiar with rsyncing to a file. Good luck. [21:12] zykotick9: np. [21:12] CyberDawg: whats the question?

[21:15] CyberDawg You can find instructions here: www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-easily-change-your-usplash-screen-in-ubuntu/ [21:15] Wulong: because network manager is run in x with sudo permissions, you have probably added that to your users crontab [21:15] reading this at the moment https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagement/PowerSavingTweaks [21:15] JoseeAntonioR, thanks mang [21:15] JoseeAntonioR: usplash != plymouth [21:15] tyler_d: I have added it in roots crontab. [21:15] zykotick9, nah, i'm just trying it our. i've installed the package but when i login into xmonad session, i dont get anything(not even a welcome message) [21:15] Wulong: what does it report the problem as? [21:16] Wulong: moreover why are you doing that? [21:16] guest_: that doesn't surprise me. Sorry i've never used xmonad, i recently started using awesome. [21:16] Because network-manager sucks when it comes to reconnect [21:16] Wulong: that does not really describe a problem? [21:16] awesome?

[21:19] CyberDawg: sorry i forget now (i used to worry about suck eyecandy, not so much anymore). good luck. [21:19] I want to list all flags to a certain kernel module, how can I do that? (without going into the particular config file in question) [21:19] s/suck/such/ [21:19] lol zykotick9 sorry for the newbie action [21:19] Wulong: alternatives to network manager exist, there is wicd and wifi-radar I can think of quickly [21:22] hey you guys, im trying to set up svnserve and it says i need to create a single svn user on my system then run the server process as that user...how can i do this? i think i recalle using chown on certain files before? is this what i do? do i chown the daemon executable ? [21:22] Now here is something weird: Somehow my remote is not handled by lirc, it seems. If I kill lircd/lirc processes it continues working! [21:22] bb all!

[21:31] ActionParsnip: I installed libpam-google-authenticator and added the requisite lines to /etc/pamd/common-auth. [21:31] Standard ssh client and server, the magic's in the PAM.

[21:32] CyberDawg: if you wanted to change the bootloaderin Grub2, why didn't you just say that instead of all the "*sigh*" nonesense? [21:33] how do i run a server proccess as a specific user? [21:34] The lazy way around my problem is to install my private key on all my other internal servers. :-P [21:34] ActionParsnip, if you would have been here yesterday paying attention when I started this project you would not have seen the *sigh*'s you seem to be stuck on ;) [21:34] CyberDawg: its still of zero value, if you just state your issue, you get help faster. Simple [21:34] CyberDawg: http://www.multimediaboom.com/adding-background-on-grub2-in-ubuntu-11-04/ [21:35] ActionParsnip, thank you again kind sir :) [21:35] As far as "updating the information sites", all I can say is that the Ubuntu folks seem to only care about the canonical (pardon the pun) sites being updated for launch -- and that you should "feel free" to update them. ;-) [21:35] ActionParsnip: save this for later use?? http://troll.me/english-motherfucker-do-you-speak-it/ [21:35] CyberDawg: just copy in the file and run: sudo update-grub easy peasy [21:36] thank you [21:36] acerimmer: http://captionsearch.com/pix/i96v5pflr5.jpg [21:43] Wow... it's really slow right now...

[21:53] jeremiah_, do not panic [21:53] cheapie: gksudo for gui apps, not sude [21:53] jeremiah_: lubuntu has synaptic [21:53] it brings a error about something [21:54] jeremiah_, don;t worry [21:54] jeremiah_: what are you trying to achieve?

While booting, power manager waits until / keeps waiting for checking / ?! dvd which is unusual. I boot from my hard disk and there is no need for accessing the dvd drive. Also, I see nautilus accessing the dvd drive when I open other hard disk partitions. Why please? [21:55] ActionParsnip: I think we're pulling jeremiah_ two different ways at once. I'd like to help him myself... [21:55] acerimmer: I use lubuntu on all my systems, I've used LXDE for a looong time [21:56] jeremiah_: Type "firefox" [21:56] cheapie: remember to use gksudo for gui apps though [21:56] firefox [21:56] is there some cli tool that can tell me how much data i'm currently transferring over a network interface (i.e. gives me info like Down: XXX Mbps, Up: XXX Mbps)?

Please close that application first. [22:00] jeremiah_: What else is running? [22:00] doesn't matter how I login, guest or normal user, as soon as the desktop starts up, I'm kicked back out again to the login screen [22:00] nothing [22:00] is it normal for a live cd to take a long time to start? [22:00] oh i mean xchat [22:00] jeremiah_: if you are using synaptic to install stuff or it is open, it will lock the packages. This means other apps cannot install stuff. Close synaptic and use cli only if you are wanting to use that [22:00] jeremiah_: Try closing it, and running "gksu synaptic". [22:01] its on the splash 'ubuntu' thing with the red dots, but nothing is happening. [22:01] em: optical media are notoriously slow [22:01] ActionParsnip: Done it, shall I restart? [22:01] em: what video chip do you use [22:01] Static: go for it [22:01] im afraid i don't know. [22:01] jeremiah: Not close xchat, close Synaptic. [22:01] ActionParsnip: Okay, see you in a minute, again :P [22:01] em: does the system have a make and model [22:01] my real problem is that everything was splendid and then i did a full-upgrade and when i restarted it makes it through the splash page and then NO VIDEO. [22:02] em: yes you may need a boot option to make the video load ok [22:02] I thought maybe somehow i can try fixing things with a live CD [22:02] jeremiah_: Are you still there? [22:02] what's a boot option? [22:02] Hi! One question. Is Ubuntu safe to habkers attack? [22:02] em: you can, what is the make and model of the system. Then we can give it [22:03] i tryed brough up the same message and i have nothing running [22:03] well the motherboard is a gigabyte. [22:03] *hackers [22:03] javier_: It's as secure as you make it - usually very secure. [22:03] javier_: depends on the hacker type [22:03] !safe|javier_ [22:03] jeremiah_: Odd... [22:03] javier_: umm, out of the box it's pretty secure [22:03] javier_: the default security model is pretty good [22:03] ActionParsnip: it's a computer put together from parts. [22:03] i know. i can't do anything [22:03] my pc is messed [22:04] jeremiah_: Would anybody else be logged in? [22:04] em: try the boot option: nomodeset [22:04] ActionParsnip: oh it looks like the live cd maybe is finally making it here. [22:04] jeremiah_: use the command line as I said. I suggest you reboot first [22:04] ActionParsnip: Didn't seem to work :( [22:04] no. there are no other users on my pc [22:04] :'( brightness [22:04] ActionParsnip: in the live cd or in the normal start up of the installed ubuntu? [22:04] jeremiah_: Try restarting it. [22:05] you mean "try turning it off and on again" [22:05] Static: you need to change that line in alsa-base.conf til you find one that works [22:05] ActionParsnip: good news is that the live cd finally started. And there is video on the live CD. So i know it's not hardware. [22:05] jeremiah_: Yes. [22:05] did you get it? [22:05] cheapie, good to know. Some of my friends are having problems with a hacker, he's entering their computer (based on the fact they are friends of his ex-girlfriend), reading their mails and facebook things and revealing true and false information to other people they know. I want to make sure my system is as secure as possible in order to prevent this to happen to me. Fortunatelly I feel safer with ubuntu than in windows :). But, how to make my system as saf [22:05] e as it is possible? [22:05] the IT Croud [22:05] em: never doubted the hardware, sometimes hardware causes the need for bootoptions so the kernel runs ok [22:05] jeremiah_: yes, it crowd reference [22:05] ActionParsnip: How many possibilities are there? D: [22:06] javier_: They might have your passwords to those websites. [22:06] does anyone know how to get brightness keys working within 11.10? [22:06] jeremiah_: ive seen it.it does help. If you've worked in IT you'd get the joke better [22:06] can anyone point me to a channel where the xserver guys hang out? [22:06] Static: a good few [22:06] ActionParsnip: perhaps I an put the boot options in some config some place? I seem to hav a live session maybe I can mount the file system and add it. [22:06] jeremiah_: Wait, what? === heinz_ is now known as heinz [22:06] well i will see what happens. bye! [22:06] balloons: #xorg possibly [22:06] ActionParsnip: Is there a list somewhere? [22:06] ActionParsnip: im not sure how to do a boot option at startup. Also I use encryption so i have to type in my password at startup. [22:07] ActionParsnip, thanks, but I was wondering if there was perhaps a ubuntu specific channel [22:07] em: you apply the boot option on the boot, before the CD starts to boot properly. Its not in a config file. The cD is read only [22:07] balloons: right here [22:07] !bootoption | em [22:07] em: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [22:07] And how to reach maximum security in ubuntu? I guess it's involved as well mail and facebook security, and that getting good and long passwords there is also important [22:07] kish|: getting bywith boot repair ? [22:07] ActionParsnip: oh so you are saying this is for booting the live CD? The live CD has now booted, and it has video. My problem is that I don't have video when i start my normal installed ubuntu. [22:07] Have a scripting question. [22:08] :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( 30% [22:08] thanks [22:08] I'm always converting video files from *.3gp to *.mpg, would like a script that I could call up anywhere, and convert it to a file name that I designate. [22:08] javier_: you can configure the inbuilt firewall. You can help lock stuff down. If you use a home router you should be ok [22:09] I'm Charging [22:09] ChipDSnow: http://www.icelab.eu/en/blog/ubuntu-and-linux-12/converting-3gp-videos-to-mpeg-on-ubuntu-65.htm [22:09] don't know why, but update-manager-c/d not working on my machine I am entering command and pressing enter nothing is happening [22:10] what day does ubuntu 10.10 become unspported? I know it's in april, but i don't know when...it's it at the end of april? before? [22:10] em: you can hold shift at boot and edit the grub boot options on the fly for that boot only [22:11] ActionParsnip, I use a home router. Am I ok without configuring inbuilt firewall? I have the idea that someone can enter my things by reading my router incoming and sending packets. How to prevent that? Is it a long password in my router enough? shall I do things like filter MACs? [22:11] jeremiah_: Welcome back! Is Synaptic working now? [22:11] ActionParsnip: How do I know what to put in that line of the alsa configuration? D: [22:11] javier_: i don't configure any firwall, works ok here. Obviously if its a mobile system then configure it [22:11] Static: find guides online for your make and model system [22:12] ActionParsnip, I see. Should be ok then. Just will make safer my passwords [22:13] Does installing the ati driver affects the brightness ? [22:13] ActionParsnip, my problem then is that I need to boot windows sometimes, because I work on some applications which I can't install in Ubuntu. Will try to get a good firewall tehre [22:13] yes [22:13] ish [22:13] jeremaih_: ...ish? [22:14] jeremiah_: ...ish? [22:15] ya. i got it working but there is no signs that it is installing except that the download bar popped up [22:15] ActionParsnip: when do you hold down shift? On my computer the first thing it does is ask for the encryption password because I have full disk encryption on it, then it goes to the ubuntu splash screen. When it works I never see any grub at all. [22:15] jeremiah_: Is said download bar doing anything? [22:16] no [22:16] em: as soon as the system starts to boot [22:16] ChipDSnow:#bash is there, do a textfile, let's say conv.sh start #!/bin/bash first line, ad your commands , save make exucatable, have in userdir [22:17] jeremiah_: Odd. Does it show a download rate? [22:17] nope. [22:18] jeremiah: Are you chatting from the same computer? [22:18] Hey, question, what is better to use for testing ubuntu, wubuntu or virutalbox?

[23:37] external, fdisk -l returns it showing up thrice, sdh sda and sdb [23:37] okay [23:37] I shoud reboot back itno recovery root shell? [23:37] OerHeks: because I ran a ping test for 30 mins and connected to IRC via mirc [23:37] deper29, please use the nic your talking top tab will autocomplete the nic. :D [23:37] to* [23:37] OerHeks: when I do the same in ubuntu I get disconnected on a regular absis and packet loss [23:37] deper29: yes [23:38] deper29: back to that root shell [23:38] So I have Ubuntu Server 11.10 installed and I'm just wondering about a minor nuissance, why after logging in does it hang for about 2 seconds before actually getting me in? Specifically after this "Last login: Wed Jan 25 01:32:14 2012 from 95.76.187.104 [23:38] - 3 second HANG - [23:38] bob@ro-ISP:~$ [23:38] urlin2u: what do you mean? [23:38] Pantherking: try plug in your usb HDD and in the terminal type mount.. u find some as like /dev/sdc1? [23:38] OerHeks: like now [23:39] Yb8022: I have the same problem.. it's really annoying.. let me know if you find anything [23:39] deper29, what you just did when you are talking with a person use their nic, the channel is busy and it helps a great deal. :D [23:39] damn [23:39] the ntfs signature is missing when i try that [23:39] anyway, since I can't talk in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:39] Is this for real: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2012/01/anonymous-no-we-wont-attack-facebook-jan-28.html [23:39] I mean is the anonymous DDoS on Facebook real or fake [23:39] Sorry, walked away from my computer. I've run into this issue a few times. When I'm backing up peoples files from their Windows or Mac computers onto my machine, I've noticed that the preferences for the folder (in Ubuntu) show that a folder that is 60gigs shows up as 60gigs for it's actual size, but the size on disk is way higher, like 500gigs or so. What could be causing this? And is there anyway to compress that back down [23:39] to be the correct size again? [23:39] I"m building up shells to take it down [23:39] so is it real [23:39] Question: If I do a dist upgrade and it says "mysql-server-5.0" is being removed, am I going to lose my databases too or will I still have my databases?

[23:39] reggal, stop it please [23:40] Slart: Now recovery doesn't want to wor [23:40] meowsus, how are you doing the back up? [23:40] deper29: huh? but it worked before, right? [23:40] well first thing i ran wine with >logfile 2>&1 or something like that where would i find the log? [23:41] Slart: it said "loading initial ramdisk ..." and just hangs there. Yes, it worked before [23:41] "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb /media/fantom" returns NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sdb': Invalid argument The device '/dev/sdb' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS. [23:41] deper29: try shutting the computer off totally.. wait 10 secs and then turn it on again [23:41] aaah nevermind [23:41] Pantherking: sure you want /dev/sdb and not /dev/sdb1 ? [23:42] i've tried both. tried sda1, sda, sdb1, sdb, sdh1, sdh [23:42] if i wanted to use sysctl to gauge bits or bytes output on a given nic, which arguments to sysctl might i find useful? [23:43] Pantherking, you need the partition number, if it has one. [23:43] I'm not having any luck getting my Linksys AE 2500 USB adapter to be recognized in Ubuntu. I found some online help, but it did not work and I think the reason why is because the guy who got it running used Windows XP drivers, and he got it working in the 32 bit version of Ubuntu. [23:44] Slart: I'm at a root promp [23:44] Pantherking: take a look here http://askubuntu.com/questions/85487/unable-to-mount-external-usb-hard-drive and also here http://thenubbyadmin.com/2011/03/08/getting-a-stubborn-ntfs-drive-to-mount-in-linux-was-this-trip-really-necessary/ if u find some can u help u [23:44] deper29: it worked now? perhaps you have to do the total shutdown for it to work... [23:44] Pantherking, the disc utility will mountbpartitions as well gparted, look at the usb with gparted and see if there is a ntfs. [23:44] deper29: ok.. first thing we're going to try is to disable the xorg.conf [23:44] What does this do? echo -e "\c" [23:45] deper29: but lets start looking at some logs [23:45] Slart: okay, how so? [23:45] deper29: apt-get install pastebinit [23:45] deper29: that will install an application that will take a file and send it to a pastebin..which is just a website where you can post text and let others see it [23:46] Slart: okay, it's installed [23:46] deper29: ok.. try this pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:46] deper29: it will print out a link to the webpage where that file will be posted [23:47] deper29: it's a log that is created when X triest to start.. it will contain some info on what graphics card you've got.. which resolutions it tries and so on [23:48] I need help getting my wireless network card to work. [23:48] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/815955 [23:48] urlin2u, just copy over a network. Say it's their My Photos directory, I'd just copy it over to my desktop, or whatever. [23:49] deper29: ok, check line 134.. that might be what's wrong [23:50] meowsus, your description is convoluted, your getting the actual size of the transfer, why would the 500 gigs be a factor? [23:50] Slart: how do I fix that? [23:50] deper29: when you installed the nvidia-current package.. did you get any errors? [23:50] kirby92: same here. I have a linksys AE 2500 usb network adapter and i cannot find any drivers for it. [23:50] having problems with network manager losing connection every 20 seconds or so. added "auto wlan0 \n iface wlan0 inet dhcp" to /etc/network/interfaces, because wireless wasn't working at all, but now... [23:51] meowsus, or I'm reading it wrong just trying to understand [23:51] Slart: I didn't see any [23:52] deper29: try running this in the root shell "modprobe nvidia" [23:52] how do i create a shared folder on ubuntu server 11.10 and be able to be see by windows === MOddd is now known as MoDDD [23:52] I've installed the b43legacy wireless driver and my wireless card still will not work. [23:52] urlin2u, I'm saying that once I get the folder on my desktop, if I right-click on it and select "Properties" to see how big it is, the actual size is correct (for example: 60gigs) but the "size on disk" size is ridiculously bigger. For example, I should be able to put that 60gig folder on my 250gig external hard drive, but I cant because the size on disk is way larger (for example: 500gigs) [23:53] Slart: nothing happened [23:53] the game is startrek armada 2 and i have tried a few things that the appdb suggested but i get this a list of errors that i dont understandhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/815952/ is the output [23:53] hi folks; running ubuntu 11.10 here. when i try to connect to a wireless network for the first time (when i havent connected to it previously)... and i enter the wrong password; there seems to be *no way* to change the password if i got i t wrong the first time. ubuntu keeps trying to reconnect with the wrong password [23:53] kirby92: type in the terminal rfkill list all and say what u see [23:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/815952/ oops sorry [23:53] meowsus, ah thanks, not sure there really. [23:54] deper29: hmm.. I wonder why it's not working... nvidia is usually quite easy to work with === marco is now known as Guest66061 [23:54] Hi I'm installing 11.10 32bit on a usb drive. After I ran an upgrade I got an errore that the new linux image wasn't successfullyt updated. Now it requires me to login with the only option being "Other" and to manually type a username and password but none were created in the installation. This is my second attempt and both have failed following an upgrade. Any ideas? Thanks. [23:54] Ubuntu hurts my soul and I want to cry in my sleep [23:54] deper29: ok.. back to basics.. in the root shell... "apt-get purge nvidia-current nvidia-current-updates" [23:54] deper29: that will remove the nvidia driver [23:54] 0: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes [23:55] Slart: unable to locate package nvidia-current-updates [23:55] Been a week now, still can't get Wi-Fi working D: === francisco is now known as Guest4511 [23:56] deper29: ok, just uninstall the first one then [23:56] deper29: "apt-get purge nvidia-current" [23:56] kirby92, please tab complete the nic of who your addressing or type it. [23:56] Slart: how? [23:56] genewitch: Me again, not sure if my last message went out, I had a connection problem. [23:56] Slart: oh, I see. [23:56] genewitch: anyway, if I recall, did you say that RATE in the power thing is a measurement of how much power I am actively using? [23:57] Slart: done [23:57] Darkfrost, you know the card is it a broadcom? [23:57] deper29: and then we install it again.. "apt-get install nvidia-current" [23:57] kirby92: i think that means if its a laptop, either the wireless switch is off, or you need to turn it on with the fn shortcut key [23:57] urlin2u: not sure what you mean [23:57] Yeah, BCM4312 [23:57] kirby92: i dont know much about wireless though [23:58] rfkill list always shows Hard blocked, no matter what I do :-/ Tried wl and b43 [23:58] It's a desktop [23:58] genewitch: if so, I got it down from about 22W to 7.5 and its still working as normal. Charging the battery now to give it a discharge test in a bit. Thanks for your tips [23:58] gentoo: do you know anyone who has had any luck getting the Linksys AE 2500 usb network adapter working in ubuntu 11.10? [23:58] kirby92, the card is a type, run this command and post what it is lspci | grep -i wireless [23:58] deper29: and last but not least.. mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [23:59] gh0zt: no idea [23:59] urlin2u: 05:05.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4303 802.11b Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [23:59] Slart: all installed, just renaming that file
