No my keyboard runs fine . I only have a issue with my track pad. [00:30] bluezone: your you dual booting or wubi? [00:30] acerimmer: not sure what wubi is, but i used the windows installer option [00:30] bluezone: It should be vieable from Nautilus. The partition is there on left side. [00:31] bluezone: then that's Wubi [00:31] markyxxxz: so what do i do xD [00:31] Guys do you have any idea about running BT in ubuntu [00:31] bluezone: then you used wubi. You will not see your win systems fodlers in wuib [00:31] markyxxxz: I updated my kernel to the latest 3.2.0 kernel and it solved my trackpad problem . Perhaps it could solve yours. [00:31] markyxxxz, it has "Integrated Intel® HD Graphics 3000" [00:31] sandy: Oh ok. good for you. having no track/touchpad is better than no keyboard at all :( I can't type anything. [00:31] why not :( [00:32] omar, wrong channel [00:32] sandy: Thanks. I doubt it. It was working fine. Stupid AMD Catalyst driver really screwed up my system.

Though I'd need to know more detail to be sure. [01:12] Jordan_U, it's an Asus UX31E. If I don't have UEFI enabled in bios, I can't boot from usb [01:13] orvar: what are you trying to do with UEFI ?

[01:14] glosoli: Yes, that's what he says. [01:14] quick question [01:15] Jordan_U: Using Asus N61JA which supports UEFI, but if I enable it there is no point as UBuntu isn't properly compatible with it as far as I expierenced [01:15] allo allo ! [01:15] Im running windows 7 64bit, but have intel chipset...would I wanna download the i386 or AMD64 version of Ubuntu Studio 11.10? [01:15] there is no need for UEFI [01:15] TechSlime: Of course AMD64 [01:16] patt: [01:16] TechSlime: In btw, why Ubuntu Studio, not Ubuntu ? [01:16] howdie howdie! how's it hangin'? [01:16] amd64 [01:16] Jordan_U, the usb device simply doesn't show up as a bootable device in bios unless I have uefi enabled [01:16] was told studio had good media software included [01:16] I don't even know what it is [01:16] TechSlime: AMD64 (which is the architecture that both Intel and AMD use for 64 bit x86). [01:16] artichoku: same same, little to the left [01:16] 64bit always if you system is 64 [01:16] durka durk [01:16] orvar: Start pressing ESC key when you reboot computer, you will be prompted to menu for boot devices :) [01:16] bit chipset i mean of course [01:17] ok thanks guys got it.

[01:18] newguy: This is easily done with probam called: Grub Customizer [01:18] program'' [01:18] ha have same question as new guy..but instead using same hdd [01:19] yes when installing ubuntu it will ask if you want to install alongside another os [01:19] glosoli: newguy: No extra program is required. The installer handles this automatically. [01:19] TechSlime: Same thing to you [01:19] ok then 1 more thing [01:19] Jordan_U: Yes, but if he want's predefine Windows to autoboot by default ? [01:20] im downloading an .iso file can i somehow covert this file and install from a SDHC card [01:20] glosoli: Then he could use Grub Customizer, or he could edit /etc/default/grub. But that's not what they asked. [01:20] * TechSlime out of blank discs atm :/ [01:20] Jordan_U: Editing files manually aint recommended for newbies [01:21] Hello. I'm missing an entry for one of my hard disks in /dev/disk/by-uuid, which makes grub-mkconfig use /dev/sdc1 instead of uuid to boot another linux. How do I fix this? [01:21] i have ubuntu installed with wubi, and i was wondering if i could install it onto a new drive, and then have a boot selection like i do now [01:21] go to forums [01:21] glosoli: I wouldn't recommend new users change anything with grub unless they need to.

[01:22] TechSlime: Yes, if your BIOS can boot from SD card at all. [01:22] glosoli: thanks [01:22] yea it can [01:22] I tried all the f# keys and I just assumed it was impossible [01:22] orvar: No problem :) [01:23] or can i just mount the image in win 7 using software? [01:23] TechSlime: If your BIOS supports it, the process is exactly the same as booting from USB as described here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [01:23] all i have to do now is download the iso and install it onto my m: drive [01:24] TechSlime: You can mount the image, but mounting the image won't get you any closer to making a bootable SD card. [01:25] alright thanks guys! I'll prolly be back later w/ some more questions...linux newb here. k cya! [01:25] TechSlime: No probs, see ya [01:25] TechSlime: You're welcome.

[02:13] What up homies! [02:13] :) [02:13] Hey man. How you doin. [02:14] rtorto: Since this is an entry generated from information from linux-boot-prober, I'm guessing that it's determining what to use for the root= argument by parsing config files from the original install, possibly the fstab (I would say the menu.lst, but you say that's been deleted). [02:15] Jordan_U, ok thanks I'll check [02:15] rtorto: You're welcome. [02:16] Jordan_U: nope, that's all uuid [02:17] !bootinfo | rtorto [02:17] rtorto: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [02:17] quick question where is the program "Additional Drivers", its not in my menu, and I know its installed and needto run it on the command line, because Xchat wasn't in the menu either. [02:18] rtorto: Why not install grub2 in Archlinux? You say it's an "old" install of Archlinux, but Archlinux is a rolling distro so grub2 should be an option. Then you can have archlinux generate its own grub.cfg that Ubuntu's grub can read directly (and which will also probably be parsed properly by linux-boot-prober). === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [02:19] ziggy The "additional drivers" app is called jockey-gtk in the repos [02:20] hi [02:20] is there anyone?

Is there a generic driver I can find for Ubuntu 11.10? [02:33] http://arbornet.org/~flamoot/telepathic-critterdrug.html artificial consciousness evolver for linux and windows [02:34] had a few weird happenings with the laptop lately. I shut down the laptop, but if I open the lid, it comes back on automatically. Seems to be somehow linked with making some changes in powertop. Anyone else seen this? [02:36] myk_robinson: I have not run into that problem. Sounds more so like a hardware issue rather than OS. [02:36] avStudio: in unity, how do you make a window smaller? [02:36] Mitchell: its a possiblity, just hasnt happened until recently, and I have had the same laptop since August. [02:37] Either an update or me messing with powertop. Guess I can try shutting down without powertop tweaks to confirm [02:37] I'm getting an error message when I try to change the screen so it does not mirror [02:37] myk_robinson: What kind of laptop is it? [02:38] Mitchell: a Lenovo Ideapad Z570 [02:38] does anyone know where aufs-tools is hidden in ubuntu11.04 ? for some reason i cant find it [02:38] well you can drag the window to one side to have it split screen size , im not sure about the cursor corner resizing what version you on? [02:38] myk_robinson: I have the same one. Are you running Ubuntu 11.10? [02:39] yes [02:39] have been since day one, this just started happening last week [02:39] oh sorry i read window size my bad. [02:39] myk_robinson: [02:39] finally got it, the error message is: requested position/size for CRTC 148 is outside the allowed limit: position(1440, 0), size(1920, 1080), maximum=(1920,1920) [02:39] myk_robinson: What tweaks have you made since last week? [02:39] avStudio: what does that mean? [02:39] Mitchell: I followed the directions for getting better battery life by googling ubuntu power tweaks [02:40] Mitchell: added some parameters tot GRUB [02:40] Mitchell: and when I am on battery, run powertop to switch all options to "Good" [02:40] what video card model is it and what outputs you using? [02:41] and the resolution of both screens? === zombiefox is now known as Fuchs [02:42] myk_robinson: Ok. I would reverse the tweaks you made. The tweaks seem to be interfering with proper shutdown. Try reversing it and see if it helps [02:42] Mitchell: easy enough. How's your battery life on yours? Is it the i3 model? [02:42] avStudio: Radeon HD 4850, A LG, a ASUS, 1440x900 and 1920x1080 [02:43] Yes. It is running Intel i3 Processor. And I get about 4 hours out of it [02:44] Mitchell: dang.. ANy special tweaks to get that? [02:44] Mitchell: Mine is somewhere around 2-2.5hrs [02:45] okay well if your trying to clone screens you have to set both to the same resolution [02:45] upgrading Ubuntu to Satanic Ubuntu [02:45] lol LunatyK [02:45] avStudio: no its cloned now, I want them different === sirellyn_ is now known as sirellyn [02:45] :p; [02:45] Lol [02:45] Exploit3d ways [02:47] and the above is the error message I get when I try to set it up having two monitors side by side [02:47] myk_robinson: No I just charge my battery when it is completely dry. Which is about every other day. I only use mine for about 2 hours a day. Tip: Don't keep your laptop plugged in all of the time. If you are going to, take the battery out while doing so. In order to fully saturate a lithium-ion battery, it has to be run down completely, and then charged for about 6 hours (depending on if 6 or 9 cell battery). I recommend doing [02:48] this over night. I have had mine for about 6 months. Also keep brightness low. Little things add up. [02:48] Nach0z, did you own a server at one time?

I ultimatley moved to using cinnamon instead of unity [02:50] avStudio: so the tip is not to use unity [02:51] got it, I hate unity. Will be back in a min.

Thanks anyways. [02:59] Sorry [02:59] I think I won't be able to use Ubuntu until I fix my screen... =/ [02:59] That Mirror Displays thing should come by defaul, anyways.

(proper/best drivers etc)?? [03:00] i bought this radeon 7500 cuz it says it has opengl, and 64mb ram (min req for running Blender 3D) [03:01] avStudio: anyway thats something for another day, I am going to play oilrush, I've been a beta tester for a while now, want to see what the final product looks like [03:01] but it seems like the opengl may not be running/available -- drivers ?? [03:01] good luck! [03:02] alakhia: I'll see if I can find an MD5... [03:03] Ok, so I made it to mopve the window with Alt+F7 [03:03] But I cant check the box [03:04] OMG, that sucks...

[03:06] kkerwin, arghh [03:06] alakhia: Running a SHA1 check now ... [03:09] I NEED HELP! [03:09] alakhia: No corruption. Damn. The file was bad to begin with.

What I'm trying to do now is just figure out where things got installed and figure out what I did right and what I did wrong ;) [03:46] xKazeSenoue: check the url above. at your grub menu - append the 'nomodeset' option after the 'quiet splash nomodeset' options on the kernel line like th eurl shows.. it might get to a useable desktop then. You then install the drivers. [03:47] L551: live cd is one way. theres various fix grub guides out. Or install grub to a flash drive install windows. then boot the flash to get back to ubuntu, and reinstall grub back to the hd. [03:47] !fixgrub [03:47] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [03:47] dr_willis: And grub is... [03:47] !grub [03:48] dr_willis: Oh, thanks. [03:48] aticonfig --set-pcs-u32=DDX,EnableTearFreeDesktop,1 [03:48] oops wrong paste... [03:48] dr_willis: But if I do that, will Ubuntu recognize my external display? [03:48] You are lucky the live cd works. :) i had to use the nomodset option on the live cd in the past on some of my nvidia systems [03:48] dr_willis: lol [03:48] xKazeSenoue: ive rarely had issues with external displays and nvidia drivers. [03:49] dr_willis: But this is not a hardware issue, since it was working on Windows, and work normally before Ubuntu boots. [03:49] L551: also check out supergrubdisk, it saves the time of booting into a livecd [03:50] ubottu: do you know the directory where Java is installed? [03:50] ZynuiMaiche: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:50] xKazeSenoue: you need the nvidia drivers for the system to work at full speeds. the live cd is using the noveu (or however its spelt) open sourced driver. [03:50] lol [03:50] dr_willis: Then how do I use this noveu thing? lol [03:50] xKazeSenoue: you dont want to use it.. you want to isntall the nvidia drivers. [03:51] so use the nomodeset option, see if you can get to a desktop. install the nvidia drivers. [03:51] dr_willis: But I can't do that, since my screen is completely broken. I can only see 10cm... [03:52] so you have allready tried the 'nomodeset' option? [03:52] dr_willis: I'm doing it right now. [03:52] now if the GRUB menu has video issues.. thats a differnt fix. :) [03:53] I'm getting a post-update "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" error. Any thoughts? [03:55] quick and dirty guide on getting grub to use nomodeset (with pictures) http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation [03:55] the !nomodset url is a bit more detailed [03:56] herro [03:56] herro [03:56] Jello? [03:56] mello [03:57] Can I mount to /media/HDD then make symbolic link inside /home directory? [03:58] buntu: yes you can [03:58] /home/yoususername/HDD may be a bit more logical :) [03:59] ln -s /path/to/onething /path/to/otherthingi_always_get_backwards [03:59] dr_willis: do you know how to do symlink in the terminal? I'll put it in /home/buntu/Circus [03:59] ln -s foo bar [03:59] :) [03:59] dr_willis thank you [03:59] i always get the order backwards.. so i reverse them.. and then reaize i had them right the first time.... [04:00] or the file manager can alt-click drag/drop i think and pulls up a menu to link/copy/move [04:00] dr_willis: the terminal is there for a reason, ;) haha [04:01] click-drag-holddown-alt key - you get a '?' mouse cursor.. drop - menu shows up... [04:01] HHow Ok, I guess this will do [04:01] hey ppla so i want to make some software for linux...but with GUI i come from windows so im used with C# what do you recommand? [04:02] blackarchan: depends on how much you want to learn, and what the program is doing. :) [04:02] Python is always worth learning. [04:02] Is there a way to tell a windo to maximize from bash? [04:02] window* [04:02] Hi! I keep getting the passphare pop up every time I ssh into my ubuntu server? Any way to stop the pop up? [04:02] dr_willis: i want to learn but what...what apps to make i don`t know exactly yet...you can make gui with python? [04:03] blackarchan: yes. you can do gui apps with python. [04:03] and if you do them right.. they will work on windows and linux. :) [04:03] or you use python to make the gui front end to your cli apps... [04:03] OMG [04:03] Ponies? [04:03] can anyone tell me what section 22.1 means: [04:04] http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-11.10-ispconfig-3-p6 [04:04] dr_willis: So I typed in gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub, and then it gave me an error... [04:04] When I install the graphics card driver I get fuzzy screen , while booting. What should I do ? [04:04] and would that be necessary to use ispConfig? [04:04] dr_willis i see so you say the best starting point for me is python? [04:04] blackarchan: python is very very popular and handy. [04:04] You know what? Fuck it. I'm using Windows 7 until I fix my screen [04:05] so you got to a useable desktop xKazeSenoue ? [04:05] dr_willis: Nope. I typed what that thread said, but it gave me an error, and it froze up. [04:06] xKazeSenoue: gedit is a X/gui editor.. so im not sure what you were expecting.. [04:06] dr_willis: I typed gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [04:06] if you are on the console/text login. you have to use a text based text editor like nano [04:06] xKazeSenoue: Please stop swearing. [04:07] * dr_willis checks the nomodset url again [04:07] !nomodeset [04:07] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:07] pangolin: Sorry... I'm just mad at this. lol [04:07] "How to permanently set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi) [04:07] To permanently change the default kernel boot options, press ALT+F2 or open a terminal from system > accessories > terminal. Type in the following command: [04:07] Code: [04:07] gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" [04:07] xKazeSenoue: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:07] Thats what I did, and then my laptop froze up. [04:08] xKazeSenoue: you need to use the "How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS " part - if you can not get to a useable desktop.... [04:08] xKazeSenoue: jumping into to the middle of a convo here, but you have to run update-grub after editing /etc/default/grub [04:08] then if you have a useable desktop. you can use gedit.. [04:08] GCircle: But right when I typed that in, it froze up. [04:08] dr_willis: Oh, okay. Ill try that. [04:09] gedit is a graphical text editor.. :) it requires X going befor it will work. [04:09] what exactly does this do before I do it? [04:09] http://pastie.org/3273750 [04:09] http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation shows how to get nomodset going for a single boot session. [04:09] hello [04:10] @ubottu thanks [04:11] brerrabbit: running 'vzctl set on' for a lot of settings it seems.... [04:11] whatever vzctl does.. :) never heard of it befor. [04:12] !find vzctl [04:12] Found: vzctl [04:12] !info vzctl [04:12] vzctl (source: vzctl): server virtualization solution - control tools. In component universe, is optional.

[04:12] im on a virtual server [04:13] was going to install ispconfig on it....but it rather blithely says @ the end to run that script on the parent machine [04:14] without describing what it does...so im guessing I cant run ispconfig unless I can get the provider to run that script for me [04:14] which they may or may not do [04:14] try ispconfig and see i guess... [04:14] anyone know how to switch the channels in xchat from list to tabs? I've looked everywhere but the option seems to have gone away in this version. [04:14] the host might allready have those settings set. [04:15] good point....though im skeptical. They are pushing a support package pretty heavily. [04:15] if i pay them to do everything...i wont learn anything [04:16] dr_willis: It says nomodeset is an unknown command... [04:16] xKazeSenoue: because its not a cli command.. its an option you use in teh GRUB menu/configs. [04:16] But I did exactly like the thread said. I pressed E on Ubuntu, then inserted nomodeset, then it game me that error [04:17] boot system. tap shift key.. get to grub menu.. edit the kernel line. change 'quiet splash' to be 'nomodeset quiet splash' boot ... should get to a useable desktop.

[04:20] thanks once again [04:21] greetings, I installed ubuntu on a netbook, the system doesnt reconize that theres a battery, how do i fix this? [04:23] xKazeSenoue: you could try the text mode option , or recovery mode and install the nvidia-current package and hope for the best. [04:23] 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' [04:23] or try it now - if you can get to a useable console [04:24] My not-so-good friend has tampered with my laptop. I see he has added a command to crontab. How else can I detect other stuff he has done? He only had like 30 seconds with the laptop. [04:24] dr_willis: I can't use sudo commands. It asks for my password, but it does not let me type. [04:24] xKazeSenoue: err.. it dosent echo your password... [04:24] type it in.. hit enter.. [04:24] no *'s get echoed or anything [04:24] xKazeSenoue: It is not visible for security reasons [04:25] xKazeSenoue: you can also edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer and blacklist nouveau [04:25] blacklisting nouveau should in theory get done by the nvidia-current drivers/package. [04:25] yeah but he might want to do it now to get a workable desktop in the meantime [04:26] dr_willis: See? Whenever I try to use a command followed by sudo, it says that: "[sudo] pasword for rodrigo:" but it won't let me type in my password [04:26] catch you all later [04:26] GCircle: But using noveau is the only way to get it to recognize my external display [04:26] LunatyK: Bye :) [04:26] Bye [04:27] xKazeSenoue: you just type in yoru password blindly and hit enter... [04:27] it does not echo any characters back when you type.. [04:30] Is anyone having trouble submitting bugs? [04:30] dr_willis: Oh, worked now. Thats weird. lol [04:30] dr_willis: Ok, it is downloading nvidia-current now. [04:31] Let's just pray now. [04:32] I see an insane number of nvidia driver issues on this channel. I think we should setup a wiki page to direct users to that tells them to unnstall any nvidia stuff and just use the things out of the restricted-drivers seection in ubuntu. If they're still having issues after that THEN they can come here [04:32] Totally not anyones fault though [04:32] really we should have used the 'jocky-text' program to isntall the drivers ;) but most mondern nvidia cards use nvidia-current i [04:32] maybe nvidias actually... [04:32] It is nvidias and ati's for being slacking in their support [04:32] I have been having trouble submitting bugs on launchpad eventhough I am logged in and there are no other bugs on the issue [04:32] there is the [04:32] !nvidia [04:32] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [04:32] I think Ubuntu should be more automatic, though [04:33] Like, it asks you these things when it is installing [04:33] xKazeSenoue: Unfortunately, it is as automatic as it can be without running into copyright trouble [04:33] xKazeSenoue: for most allof my systems. i install get to the desktop. then it asks me to install the nvidia drivers.. 3 clicks.. a reboot.. and they are installed. [04:33] Hey, I recently got a USB wireless adapter and I'm trying to disable the built-in one in my laptop. Is there any easy way to do that? [04:33] Hi folks, the new firefox that came in today is a MESS, is there any way to revert back? [04:33] 11.10 is much better then 10.x was for my nvidia systems [04:33] hydrox24: Copywright: Ruining our lives since... ever. [04:33] xKazeSenoue: windows can pay they're way through the copyright stuff, ubuntu can't. [04:34] Okay .... my printer is acting up on ubuntu. [04:34] xKazeSenoue: Right on. [04:34] yourfriendisaac: Are you using a local application or web? [04:34] nvidia pays ms :) [04:34] dr_willis: REally? How do you do that? [04:34] samthewildone: alright, start with specifying the printer, then say how it is acting up. All in one line preferably. [04:34] bobo37773 using web to submit bug [04:34] Preferably a non-disabling the wireless from the BIOS method, if possible. [04:34] xKazeSenoue: dr_willis is Bill Gates, so he knows it ;) [04:34] It's always making random noises and takes 30+ seconds to print a page. Sometimes it doesn't even print and then there's a spool of prints that haven't be completed. [04:34] 'windows certified drivers' - how do you think they get certified... [04:34] they pay MS to certify them [04:34] pksadiq: lol [04:35] yourfriendisaac: On launchpad? [04:35] HP LaserJet 1022 [04:35] Yes [04:35] dr_willis: I guess I mean that micro$oft has the cash to pay thy're way outta trouble if they get into the wrong, and they can "control distribution" [04:35] bobo37773 yes [04:35] It says done [04:35] Ill try to reboot. [04:35] yourfriendisaac: Did you try another browser? [04:36] samthewildone: HPs can be like that for me, even when using windows. HAve you tried with an alternate OS? Because it could be an issue with the printer. [04:36] bobo37773 I am using firefox no I didnt try another browser [04:36] Im not sure [04:36] yourfriendisaac: There is also an application called "ubuntu-bug" to do it from your machine. [04:36] This is basically for the sake of my mom and dad. [04:37] He's to lazy to fix the problem but, the problem is in my room and its frickin annoying. It keeps ticking and doing random voodoo stuff. [04:37] bobo37773 tried ubuntu-bug too was even less successfuk [04:37] bobo37773 tried ubuntu-bug too was even less successful [04:37] Then I noticed every time my mom or I try to print from it, it flashes a little hp-plugins*** and I can't seem to click or install it. [04:37] samthewildone: we are happy to help you but you probably need to check if it is an issue with the printer, then come back to this channel for help when you know linux is causing the issues [04:38] yourfriendisaac: Ouch. Well Firefox is my browser of choice but it can be problematic sometime. On a lighter note: Maybe you could file a bug about ubuntu-bug hahaha [04:38] * samthewildone sticks a firecracker in the printer. [04:38] Well on windows when my mom prints it works fine [04:38] yeah that will really help [04:38] So I know its not the printer. [04:38] samthewildone: ahh, OK that's what I was looking for. [04:38] bobo37773 yeah that will really help [04:38] samthewildone: so you know that it is ubuntu [04:38] yourfriendisaac: hahaha [04:38] hydrox24: and the printer laughs at me when its on windows. [04:38] alright. [04:39] * samthewildone shakes his head [04:39] samthewildone: that's worse. maybe you need a witchdoctor for this one! [04:39] chuck[screen]: Hey [04:39] :) [04:39] bobo37773 ok here's the thing. My CD Rom drive is recognized in kubunut but not ubuntu. Was okay until I upgraded to 11.10 [04:40] yourfriendisaac: The optical drive does not work at all? [04:40] bobo37773 Also drop down menus being inhibited in ubuntu 10.10 and above and 11.04 in kubuntu [04:41] bobo37773 thats correct it wont even open [04:41] samthewildone: A risky approuch would be to remove the printer from the printer admin panel then do a standard update, hoping new drivers are in it, then try and add the printer to ubuntu again. [04:41] yourfriendisaac: Did you try --> eject /dev/sr0 [04:41] samthewildone: will be back in a minute or so. [04:41] rgr [04:42] bobo37773 yes it just says there is no sr0 [04:42] how do I install Moonlight plugin (open source version of Silverlight)? [04:42] !find moonlight [04:43] File moonlight found in gnome-user-guide, language-pack-gnome-ca-base, language-pack-gnome-cs-base, language-pack-gnome-da-base, language-pack-gnome-de-base, language-pack-gnome-en-base, language-pack-gnome-es-base, language-pack-gnome-fi-base, language-pack-gnome-gl-base, language-pack-gnome-hu-base (and 10 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=moonlight&mode=&suite=oneiric&arch=any [04:43] Hmm.. not a good search hit. :) [04:43] bobo37773 I even checked it with df === pksadiq` is now known as pksadiq [04:43] yourfriendisaac: When you upgraded did you do an upgrade or a clen install? [04:43] clean* [04:44] bobo37773 an upgrade [04:44] bobo37773 it went smoothly [04:44] http://askubuntu.com/questions/34805/is-there-an-equivalent-of-silverlight Moonlight info [04:45] bobo37773 Actually it stopped working monday evening [04:45] ksx4system_: what are you needing moonlight for? [04:45] yourfriendisaac: Maybe the upgrade messed you up (it has been known to; ubuntu is not really rolling release). Can you test a livecd? [04:45] bobo37773 not sure maybe it was from a kernel update? [04:45] samthewildone: back [04:46] yourfriendisaac: I was just about to ask that. Did you look at your updates from Monday? [04:46] bobo37773 as I said it is working from kubuntu [04:46] dr_willis: for viewing a website which has animations made using this stupid technology. [04:46] ksx4system_: tht might work then. :) netflix wont. [04:47] yourfriendisaac: Check your updates from when the problem started [04:47] bobo37773 yes but I can look at monday updates now [04:47] dr_willis: Didn't work either [04:47] bobo37773where is the log [04:47] dr_willis: no DRM'd video there, only flash-like animations. [04:47] bobo37773 where is the log [04:47] dr_willis: still, I have no idea how to make Opera work with Moonlight... [04:47] xKazeSenoue: out of ideas then. Normally takes me 2 min and a few clicks to get my 4+ nvidia systems going [04:48] dr_willis: Guess i'll have to use Windows then... :( [04:48] bobo37773 can I find them from update manager [04:48] yourfriendisaac: Not sure. Look in /var/log maybe [04:49] xKazeSenoue: you could test out the 12.xx alpha and if it fails to work there. file a bug report. could also be some quirk/issue with your specific chipset that may be answered on the forums or askubuntu.com [04:49] Ok, bye bye, people. [04:49] ok will do I'll boot back to ubuntu and I'll be back [04:49] bobo37773ok will do I'll boot back to ubuntu and I'll be back [04:49] xKazeSenoue: i had working nvidia drivers on my debian system but then I updated my video card and X doesn't start. [04:49] yourfriendisaac: ok see you in a minute. [04:50] dr_willis: I spent 4 hours on this thing to work. I even sacrificed my almost-finished Resident Evil 2 savegame for Ubuntu, but that's how the universe pays me. I don't want it anymore... [04:50] GCircle: :( [04:50] You need to update your system to an alpha or beta. [04:50] hydrox24: okay I was doing some stuff mysef [04:50] *self [04:50] xKazeSenoue: ive spend 24+ hrs fighting with windows installs that should hae 'worked' so its all relative i guess.. [04:51] could someone help me get ubuntu to reconize my laptops battery [04:52] Trip_ are there any acpi options in the bios that aren't switched on? [04:53] Trip_: What happens if you type "acpi" in a terminal? [04:53] i need some help here [04:53] I havent done that ill give that a try [04:53] annu: Just ask. If someone here knows they will try to help you okay [04:53] i want to switch to ubuntu 11.10 n i have xubuntu [04:54] i have ubuntu 11.10 cd [04:54] bobo37773: its telling me what to type in so that i can in stall it "sudo(woodo) this that and the other thing" [04:54] annu: whav version of xubuntu you have insalled? [04:54] 4.8.0 [04:55] err.. i dont think thats a proper version #. [04:55] Trip_: ok So follow the instructions. Just so you know acpi is for laptop stuff like battery [04:55] xubuntu follows the same #.# as ubuntu releases.. 11.04 10.10 and so on. [04:55] bobo37773: thanks bud [04:55] Trip_: You are welcome [04:55] Trip_ when you type lspci, does it show any SMBus controllers at all? [04:56] annu: Are you using the same version on xubuntu (11.10)? === ghw is now known as gehengwang [04:56] so where do i find the version name Dr [04:56] annu what did you install? check lsb_release -a output [04:57] what you need to do is apt-get install hal hal-info and run lshal | grep battery [04:57] ok its 11.04 [04:57] tell us if it turns up anything [04:57] by natty [04:58] annu: if you just want ubuntu 11.10 - backup imporntant stuff. and reinstall is one way. [04:58] annu: The best way ^^ [04:58] ok [04:58] but [04:59] is it not possible to just upgrade all packages an get it done [04:59] you said you wanted gnome... you want gnome/ubuntu ONLY? or both. [04:59] through synaptic package manager [04:59] you can do release upgrades [05:00] only gnome [05:00] I uninstalled GCC and now I can't install it again dpkg returns error code (1) , can anyone tell me what to do? [05:00] then it will be easier to just do a reinstall. then ti try to remove the xfce stuff. but you can try it if you wanted to. Install the ubuntu-desktop package. remove all xfce/xubuntu stuff.. then upgrade to the next release [05:01] a clean install would be faster [05:01] ok [05:01] i need 1 suggestion [05:01] annu: It is possible. But I do not think it is called gnome. I think the package groups you want are named something like "ubuntu-desktop" [05:01] How do I reinstall GCC? [05:01] installing ubuntu-desktop then upgradeing will basically dowload a lot of stuff twice. [05:01] ok [05:02] selite: install the build-essential package for the core gcc envuroment [05:02] dr_willis: What's the command please?

(square-like mouse pointer) it leaves only after a reboot [05:09] lotuspsychje: is this similar to your issue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/760405 [05:09] bobo37773 yeah there are only two available and neither of them has to do with the kernel or gnome [05:09] Ubuntu bug 760405 in unity (Ubuntu) "corruption around the mouse pointer" [Low,Confirmed] [05:09] yourfriendisaac: ok. Did you find anything interesting in the logs? [05:10] yourfriendisaac: You could always try updating or reinstalling your kernel and seeing if that helps [05:10] hydrox24: lemme take a look [05:11] yourfriendisaac: are you able to boot with an older kernel? [05:11] yourfriendisaac: from grub/grub2 that is? [05:11] bobo37773 not really just some qt updates and other stuff.... I could try that [05:12] bobo37773 okay Ill try rebooting from an ealier kernel [05:12] dr_willis: Here is what errors I get after trying what you told me. http://pastebin.com/DQFePe4N [05:12] yourfriendisaac: Yeah, no way its qt that wouldn't even make sense. Hmm booting from an earlier kernel? Excellent idea [05:12] i have 11.10, but ih ave a mix of unity and the old look and feel menu bars. I still have "applications and places" menu that sits under, how do i get rid of it? [05:12] bobo37773 be right back [05:13] yourfriendisaac: ok [05:14] selite: try sudo apt-get -f install [05:14] I DLed the latest Jav JRE, 7u2, From the Oracle site and extracted it, And I need to know how to make it use the java program from that folder instead of the openjdk jre one when I use java from the command line [05:14] pangolin: Same dpkg returned error (1). [05:14] hydrox24: sorry can't get to the link, might be my slow mobile internet, any fix they suggest on that page? [05:15] selite: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [05:15] pangolin: I chose yes, what am I supposed to do now. [05:15] wait for it to finish [05:16] hydrox24, You're still using irssi, right? [05:16] pangolin: It asks for additional home directory locations:...? [05:16] selite: what is asking for that? [05:17] How do i change my dynamic internal ip to static using the network manager? [05:17] bobo37773: the computer still isnt reconizing it. [05:17] Trip_: If you type acpi in a terminal what do you get? [05:18] bobo37773: type it again? [05:18] bobo37773: the first time i ran the sudo code, whats sudo stand for? [05:18] Trip_: Yeah just open a terminal and type--> acpi [05:18] selite: ive never seen an error like --> "update-alternatives: error: cannot stat /usr/bin/g++: Too many levels of symbolic links" befor. seems the update-alterantives system is some how confused [05:18] hey guys. i want to easily switch between running the nvidia proprietary drivers and nouveau. is there a switch i can put in at boot time to toggle between the two, or is it always going to involve something awkward? [05:19] bobo37773 no that didn't help went back to oldest kernel [05:19] Will123456: I think its more complex then that. since the nvidia drivers blacklist the nouveau drivers. and the 2 can conflict otherwise [05:19] !sudo | Trip_ [05:19] Trip_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [05:19] bobo37773: battery 0: unknown, 0% [05:20] I DLed the latest Jav JRE, 7u2, From the Oracle site and extracted it, And I need to know how to make it use the java program from that folder instead of the openjdk jre one when I use java from the command line? [05:20] lotuspsychje: thanks [05:21] dr_willis: thanks, i was hoping it wouldn't be something like that. :( [05:21] bobo37773: battery 0: unknown, 0% [05:21] dr_willis: i suppose i'll have to set up an extra partition or something. thanks anyway :) [05:21] Trip_: Just a second [05:23] jonathon: this may help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-oracle-java-jre-7 [05:23] bobo37773 no that didn't help went back to oldest kernel -- I wonder if it's an IDE issue on some update somwhere? [05:23] jonathon: however if you just want to use it temporarily, you can call any jvm you like from the command line [05:24] Thanks, Lemme see [05:25] How do I fix dpkg error (1)? [05:26] selite: the error is in recursivbe symlinks not dpkg. [05:26] selite: from the few google hits i checked out [05:26] selite what were you doing when you go th error? [05:26] selite: ive never seen an error like --> "update-alternatives: error: cannot stat /usr/bin/g++: Too many levels of symbolic links" befor. seems the update-alterantives system is some how confused [05:27] Trip_: Did you reboot since? Also which acpi packages did you install? Just acpi or acpid? [05:27] yourfriendisaac: I uninstall GCC and then when I tried to reinstall it I got the error. [05:27] yourfriendisaac: I also get the error no matter what I try to install. [05:27] help pages seem to suggest that g++ is a link back to its selff.. perhaps running update-alternatives by hand. or removeing /usr/bin/g++ if it exists [05:27] yourfriendisaac: Not sure. Maybe try a third party ppa and updating to a newer kernel. [05:27] dr_willis: Well it's a first then, I must be special. [05:27] selite: seems to bean issue with some people and java. and some lightdm files. [05:27] Will123456 Ok thanks, That got it installed :D [05:28] selite did you run sudo dpkg --config -a? [05:28] bobo3777 [05:28] How to change username in ubuntu 10.10 ?? [05:29] jonathon: really? did it work? excellent :) [05:29] bobo37773: just acpi [05:29] hey does anyone know why the compiz effects do not work under the Mobility Radeon HD 5650? [05:29] akpk: may be easier to just add a new user with the new name. [05:29] yourfriendisaac: You mean sudo dpkh-reconfigure -a? [05:29] bobo37773 yeah ill try ubuntu tweak and try to remove the ppas [05:29] jonathon: out of curiosity, is there any reason why you're getting the very latest jre from oracle? [05:29] mauricesid: have you installed the proprietary drivers for you radeon? [05:29] yourfriendisaac: You mean add? [05:29] !changeuser [05:29] no, I am using the open source drivers (like recommend on an ubuntu forum) [05:30] : Can I delete the old one after that ?? === joallard is now known as jswanson [05:30] bobo37773 checking [05:30] bobo37773: and no i didnt reboot, i should have, just been caught up in some other things. should i also try installing acpid [05:30] mauricesid: well, I too would recommend the open-source drivers, but the possible cause for the lack of 3D graphics is the lack of the drivers ability to do it. [05:30] Trip_: Try installing acpid and rebooting. But first open a terminal and type this command ang tell me the output--> lsmod | grep battery [05:31] dr_willis: I removed /usr/bin/g++ again the issue persists. [05:31] akpk: why bother. :) you should make sure the new user has full sudo rights.. or look in to the usermod command to change the name. Theres some forum thereads on the topic [05:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=821685 akpk [05:31] just as that with the large seperating line in it? *has no idea what that symbol is called* [05:31] mauricesid: did you install compiz-config ? [05:31] yes [05:31] I have the switchable graphics with Intel/AMD [05:31] Trip_: You mean the | ? [05:31] yeah the | [05:32] mauricesid: what happens after enabling some effects? [05:32] selite: perhaps look in /etc/alternatives/ [05:32] : Thank you. :-) [05:32] : absolutely nothing [05:32] Trip_: It is right above your enter key. Hit shift+\ [05:32] i checked most like wobbly windows, rain and the cube [05:32] selite if you were in the middle of downloading an application and now apt wont allow any downloads try dpkg --config -a the output will make suggestions if that doesnt work [05:32] none work [05:32] Trip_: Or copy and paste. The | symbol is called a "pipe" for future reference [05:33] bobo37773: oh yeah thats not the problem :) i just dont know the name for it, just thought about it, maybe ill google it later [05:33] mauricesid: are you on unity2D, 3D or gnome? [05:33] mauricesid: unity and some compiz plugins do not play well together. [05:33] i installed a later version of python.how can i set that version as the main python? [05:33] or remove the older python [05:33] how would I check? I think I am using the latest gnome [05:33] wiel: how did you install it? [05:33] bobo37773: kay thanks, i typed it out twice and nothing happened it just started a new command line [05:34] dr_willis, from the source code [05:34] bobo37773: ill try the acpid [05:34] mauricesid: are you just on a default ubuntu install? If so what version of ubuntu? [05:34] Trip_: ok. Try this --> sudo modprobe battery [05:34] mauricesid: you can logout and see what x u logged on [05:34] wiel: you may need to do some tweaking with the update-alternatives stuff. or just remove the old (may not be a good idea) and set up some soft links. [05:34] hydrox24: I installed the latest 64-bit version of ubuntu 11.10 [05:34] Trip_: Then try again --> lsmod | grep battery [05:35] yourfriendisaac: I get errors were encounteered while processing : build-essential. This is what I get. [05:35] wiel: there might be ppa's with updated versions. that would be a better way to use the newest [05:35] mauricesid: some older computers say first boot, it will boot unity2d as default because of performance [05:35] lotuspsychje: what do you mean by "x"? [05:35] wiel: also if you have installed python3 and have to use that as the default option, it is a very bad idea [05:35] bobo37773: it says command not found. [05:35] dr_willis: There is no g++ in /etc/alternatives. [05:35] dr_willis, i followed those instructions to install python 3.2 [05:35] bobo37773: should i try the acpid? [05:36] my bios will use the AMD GPU if the power cord is plugged in at startup [05:36] dr_willis, those http://www.giantflyingsaucer.com/blog/?p=2858 [05:36] Trip_: Command not found? Did you type this exactly: sudo modprobe battery [05:36] mauricesid: try a logout and take a look on wixh desktop u logged on: gnome or unity3d or 2d [05:37] ok I will give it a shot [05:37] python 3.2 is a dependency for an api that Im using. i dont really care what happens to the system [05:37] the os === jswanson is now known as joallard [05:38] bobo37773: the first time it asked me for my password, i entered it, then it opened a new command line. i then entered lsmod | grep battery then it just opened a new command line. i triend entering sudo modeprobe battery again when you asked me if typed it right, nothingh appened and it just opened a new command line [05:39] did you try apt-get install hal [05:39] and lshal | grep battery? [05:39] Trip_: Ok did you try "lsmod | grep battery" after sudo modprobe battery? [05:40] hal? ubuntu still uses hal? [05:40] how can i filter my mailing list emails? [05:40] Trip_: Ok install acpid and reboot. [05:40] bobo37773: i did, it just keeps opening new command lines and not actually doing anything [05:40] i thought hal had been removed with extreme prejudice [05:40] bobo37773: alright, ill be back in a few, thanks for the help ehl [05:41] !info hal [05:41] hal (source: hal): Hardware Abstraction Layer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.14-6 (oneiric), package size 362 kB, installed size 1712 kB [05:41] not lol [05:41] !hal [05:41] hal is in the process of being deprecated. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer for more info. [05:41] dr_willis: No hal is still used by some apps. I use it still for I don't remember what. [05:41] I wouldent one someone to do a Halsectomy to my hal. :) [05:41] dr_willis:lol [05:41] dr_willis: Hahaha [05:42] I have problem with ubuntu one client, it said it required internet connection... any idea? [05:42] I'm running oneiric [05:42] goddard: try software centre for some filter maybe [05:42] zhownx: theres the #ubuntuone channel that has more experts on that feature of ubuntu [05:43] thank dr_willis [05:43] dr_willis, hola, how are you? [05:43] Im here. :) and awake .. for now.. [05:44] nice, is it possible to customize the DOCK [05:44] lotuspsychje: anything for gmail itself? [05:44] is there any way to make a "shortcut" type link from ubuntu to a folder on a windows share? [05:44] LukeNukem: what 'dock' ? [05:44] ln -s /link/to/windows /link/to/ubuntu [05:44] oh you said a share [05:45] goddard: gmail is an online email, you first need to import your gmail to an ubuntu email client before filtering then [05:45] dr_willis, the one on the left in Ubuntu 11.10 [05:45] Lasivian: normally windows shares mounted on the fly are in .gvfs somewhere. Or you can try the file manager. click/drag/ hold down alt.. (cursor becomes a ?) drop. select link.. [05:45] yeah, an smb:// link [05:45] LukeNukem: thats the 'Panel' and the webupd8 blog site has a extensive guide on tweaking unity. [05:45] LukeNukem: the ccsm tool unity plugin , has some tweakable settings. [05:46] i always set the panel icons to be 32 in size. and never hide. first thing on a new setup. [05:46] dr_willis: same here [05:47] install the classic menu indicator applet and a few other bits and im good to go.. :) [05:47] dr_willis: alwaysd tries to copy or move the file manager window when I do that. Thanks tho [05:47] bobo37773 I used system profiler and it found the cd rom drive but it wont do anything..installing some ppas we will see how it goes [05:48] yourfriendisaac: It found it? [05:48] Lasivian: mey because its a smb://type path. If you try doing it from the .gvfs/whatever/ dir - it MIGHT let you. [05:48] hi linuxuz3r [05:48] hrrm [05:48] yourfriendisaac: Restart dbus daemon and check it [05:48] bobo37773 it found the drive yes but the drive wont open and even from the commandline [05:49] bobo37773 not sure how to do that [05:50] yourfriendisaac: sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart [05:50] yourfriendisaac: pretty sure [05:50] linking a share from .gvfs also has issues.. :() [05:50] hi all. so i am still getting noise from my audio system (speakers) even though the master volume on my card is set to 0%... thoughts? [05:50] if you really want a link to a share. you may need to mount it from fstab perhaps to a set location [05:50] bobo37773 ok let's see [05:51] knightrage: Try changing it to 100% instead of 0% [05:51] ok dr_willis i also have this issue where when i use applications i scroll over to the left and dock does not come up instead i have to go to the desktop to use it.. [05:51] it happens sometimes [05:51] bobo37773: ... [05:51] LukeNukem: i always set the panel to never hide.. [05:52] knightrage: Oh sorry. I did not read good enough. Did you try to mute in alsamixer? [05:52] dr_willis: never knew about that way of linking, it worked, thanks :) [05:53] Can someone please assist me? [05:53] http://askubuntu.com/questions/10228/whats-the-right-terminology-for-unitys-ui-elements [05:53] !ask MindlessDream [05:53] !ask | MindlessDream [05:53] MindlessDream: 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 [05:54] bobo37773: yes. it is quite when i mute it, but i would assume it would be quite (ie, no sound) when i set it to 0% through "amixer -c 0 sset Master,0 0%" [05:54] I have a 512mb ram laptop (old thing), and have been running ubuntu 11.10 on it. It's very slow and was wondering if I should change to Lubuntu or Xubuntu [05:54] lubuntu is the ligtest of all the buntu variants. :) [05:55] bobo37773: hey back, i checked the battery its still showing up as "not present" plust i didnt write down the codes you sent me earlyer [05:55] MindlessDream: so id say try lubuntu and see if it does what you need. [05:55] MindlessDream, do fluxbox [05:55] MindlessDream: or you could try unity2d or gnome [05:55] dr_willis, ok so my next issue, i downloaded NETBeans IDE, but i cant find it in Dash Home o.o [05:55] how will i go about starting it [05:55] LukeNukem: downloaded how? [05:55] hmm. Can I install Lubuntu from scratch without a CD? [05:55] like just install and remove ubuntu? [05:56] !lubuntu | MindlessDream [05:56] MindlessDream: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [05:56] so I have an issue with putting my startup script in rc.local, I need to have it run earlier than when it runs, im loading a firewall rules to iptables to it and for a good1-2 minutes my machine is open to attach before the script runs [05:56] MindlessDream: you could install the lubuntu-desktop pacakge. but removing the ubuntu-desktop is a bit tricker [05:56] what is the best format to use for video to reach all audiences? [05:56] you will end up with both sets of apps. [05:56] any suggestions will help [05:56] goddard, flash [05:56] goddard: good old mp4 perhaps. depends on your video also. its always a trade off btween size and quality [05:56] So, will I be able to determine the running speed if I don't remove Ubuntu gnome completely? [05:57] dr_willis, Software center [05:57] MindlessDream: if you boot to the lubuntu desktop. you are not running 'gnome' really [05:57] I want to change to Lubuntu now, do I just install it from their site? [05:57] trip_: try this and reboot again --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure dbus [05:57] LukeNukem: check the pacakge details. see what binaries it insalled to what /bin/* dirs perhaps. launch it via the terminal. [05:58] MindlessDream: its in the repos. 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop' [05:58] its name is Netbeans platform for building rich desktop applications in java [05:58] !info lubuntu-desktop [05:58] lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.28 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64 sparc lpia armel) [05:58] erfolg: i thought mac didn't use Flash [05:58] MindlessDream: unless you want to totally reinstall. [05:58] goddard: ipads and phones dont.. os-x can. [05:58] dr_willis: mp4 plays on mac and smart phones and stuff? [05:58] goddard: yes. [05:58] ah ok [05:58] My android phone can play most anything i toss at it. [05:58] well, is that the better option? (Don't worry about data) [05:58] dr_willis, how do i check where it is installed [05:58] goddard, are you trying to put it into a website or something? [05:59] erfolg: just portability [05:59] bobo37773: its telling me to start it, should i reboot first then startdbus? [05:59] some workarounds exist for flash on ipad, but thats gonna b offtopic :p [05:59] erfolg: rather have 1 video then 1 in 20 formats [05:59] LukeNukem: use the pacakge manager tool. check the package details. ive neer used netbeans so no idwa what the binary would be called. may be 'netbeans' for all i know. :) [05:59] trip_: Just restart it. sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart [06:00] Eclipse is very similar to netbeans [06:00] goddard, i mean if you're going for something web-based it's easy to put html code in to switch what comes up depending on browser. [06:00] goddard, since ios doesn't support flash [06:00] dr_willis, what do you use [06:00] goddard: for uploading to my phone. i always convert.. pointless to have a 1gb movie that would play the same on the phone if i converted it to a lower res. :) [06:01] LukeNukem: i dont code. [06:01] bobo37773: terminal said command not found [06:01] ok [06:01] LukeNukem, open up a terminal and type which netbeans [06:01] I perfer baked beans over net beans.. [06:02] erfolg: there are apps that do support flash for ios [06:02] trip_: just reboot [06:02] erfolg, i should type 'which netbeans' into termina [06:02] ? [06:02] lotuspsychje, yeah but he wants universal support by default [06:02] LukeNukem, yep [06:02] !netbeans [06:02] !info netbeans [06:02] Package netbeans does not exist in oneiric [06:03] erfolg, nothing happens [06:03] Can anyone please 1v1 chat with me? Too confusing here :/ [06:03] MindlessDream: 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop' is confuseing ? [06:03] I had to go back to 10.04 because of so many problems with the newer kernels. What is safe to update and what is not? I dont want a new kernel... [06:03] lol [06:03] !find netbeans [06:03] Found: libnetbeans-cvsclient-java [06:03] http://pastebin.com/F4fykTeJ [06:04] pksadiq: cool trigger tnx [06:04] leave netbeans, whats a good text editor so i can program in php, html, css? [06:04] FINE [06:04] Then what? [06:04] LukeNukem, idk what the name of the binary is. it should be listed in your unity applications though === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [06:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans [06:04] some times the menus dont get refreshed untill a delay. or a log out/back in [06:05] http://pastebin.com/F4fykTeJ [06:05] libnb-platform-java12 [06:05] binary name seems to be 'netbeans' [06:05] sorry [06:05] libnm-platform12-java [06:05] libnb* [06:05] MindlessDream: after install, logout and login to lubuntu-desktop [06:06] ls /usr/bin | grep netbeans [06:06] or ls /usr/bin | grep nb [06:06] maybe [06:06] okay thanks :) [06:06] bobo37773 reseting the ibus did work -- It reset everything including my graphics and when I rebooted I found myself not using compiz anymore but that is an easy fix. Thanks lol :) [06:06] I'll see if it's faster. [06:07] danes: tar cf foo.tar.gz foo/ [06:07] oh by the way, does this install take around 10mins or so? [06:07] depends on your download speeds and system specs [06:07] alright cool [06:08] howto fix a corrupt mouse pointer in unity (square-like corrupt icon), it only leaves after another reboot? [06:08] danes: er [06:08] erfolg, unity applications? how do i check, i checked in dash home :\ [06:08] danes: tar czf foo.tar.gz foo/ [06:08] bobo37773: hey, still getting "not present" [06:08] LukeNukem, that's what i meant [06:08] yeah it ain there [06:08] same issue here but i cant understand http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764318 [06:08] lotuspsychje: you could restart the X server. but thats almost the same as a reboot since it closes out all your apps.. [06:08] danes: right, -p also [06:08] trip_: Out of ideas. Not sure what else to tell you [06:08] one user says its in the home folder, what if its installed with sudo? where does it go to? [06:09] yourfriendisaac: Out of ideas. Not sure what else to tell you [06:09] and how does software center install it? [06:09] dr_willis: would that perm fix the problem? [06:09] LukeNukem: you always install stuff from the package manager via sudo/as root. [06:09] dr_willis: cause next boot after that it corrupts the mouse icon again [06:09] bobo37773: thanks for all the help though :) [06:09] yourfriendisaac: Time for a clean install I guess. [06:09] lotuspsychje: restarting X server would not be a perm fix. [06:09] bobo37773 reseting the ibus did work it's okay [06:09] lotuspsychje: sounds like a driver issue.

[06:10] lotuspsychje: there might be some xorg.conf options that might help it. but id have to say check the forums and askubuntu.com for your exact video card/drivers [06:10] dr_willis: all drivers have been installed correctly, i had this problem on a few diff computers [06:10] lotuspsychje: just because they installed correctly dosent mean they dont have bugs. :) [06:11] trip_: Nope. I am sure that is not what it is. Because it would still show up even if it was messed up [06:11] dr_willis:true [06:11] well i am now downloading it manually now and will install :\ [06:11] Unity works fine here with my fglrx drivers.. but gnome-shell is basiclly unuseable due to the bugs.

[06:43] because dell put forth the effort to get certified.. whatever that 'really' means these days :) [06:43] goddard: because Dell decided to use Ubuntu when it started selling laptops with linux on them again [06:43] ran out of disk space and now i have files saying "No such file or directory" or "Input/output error".

[06:57] xchat has plugins and other scripts for that sort of feature [06:57] Pricey, it used to happen before [06:58] like just a while ago it happend [06:58] Is xchat the way to go then? I'm having difficulty finding a client that people are praising [06:59] Not that they're praising xchat much...

[07:00] Is it possible to mount a partition without being root?

[07:01] i always compile xchat with this patch [07:01] http://the-beach.co/txt/xchat-alpha.patch [07:01] gives xchat real transparency. Instead of the fake 'only see your wallpaper' type [07:01] lotuspsychje: the one Compiz provides? As in any window's transparency can be adjusted by Alt+Mouse Scroll ?? [07:01] razorfish, you're a boss [07:01] so it shows true transparency instead of fake transparency [07:02] prite: no just transparancy from xchat settings [07:02] hello everyone, I have a cr-48 notebook that I've installed ubuntu on...I'm having some issues with the touchpad regarding multitouch gesture...could someone help me?

[07:14] malac0da, no, you would not, although missing files in /var are less critical then a missing /etc, you will still nedd /var for logging and spooling things as well as for e-mail of course. [07:15] al-tabq: something *like* (i don't recall) perl -i -pe 's/..... [07:15] What is understood by "The Ubuntu-mono Archives"? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mono/ [07:15] Well it starts to boot ubuntu flashes once then the screen just flickers [07:15] al-tabq: ask the folks at #perl and replace the sed command with their advice. Avoid sed -i if you need portability. [07:16] Nvm it isnt completely empty [07:16] malac0da, since this is probably an Alpha you are testing, why don't you file a bug? [07:16] prince_jammys it worked with the double quote [07:16] malac0da, ok, that's promising, what is left? [07:17] al-tabq: osx's sed -i likely expects the name of a backup file following the -i option, it's not the same as GNU sed. [07:17] !posix | al-tabq [07:17] prince_jammys well it's always good to backup when using sed i guess [07:18] cache, crash, lib, local, log, mail, opt, spool, tmp [07:18] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1862995 [07:18] al-tabq: yeah, but there are probabl other issues now. the find command i gave passes multiple files at once. See ''man sed'' in your OSX box to check. [07:18] i tried following that cuz i was getting similar errors when trying to just start gdm and such [07:18] alt-tabq, I'm surprised that ubottu doesn't know anything about posix, but it's a standard which is critical for cross-compatibility between *nix systems [07:19] Hey guys, I have a dualscreen laptop, and when I enable the 'use both displays' mode, my mouse's horizontal sensitivity is much greater than vertical. What's the problem with that? [07:19] Latest and greatest Ubuntu 11.10 [07:19] i agree [07:19] al-tabq: (the perl command isn't POSIX, but it should be portable if perl is installed, which it should be on an OSX system) [07:19] i am so haooy with my ubuntu 11.10 =) [07:19] Stereocaulon: If you want, you can teach ubottu new things like this, in a private message session: !factoid is blah blah blah [07:19] happy* [07:19] the POSIX way might be with ed [07:20] Stereocaulon: It will then be forwarded to #ubuntu-ops for discussion [07:20] curfont: I prefer Arch to Ubuntu, but hardware incompatibility is a bitch. [07:20] prince_jammys it is, will look into it for future reference [07:20] theadmin, allright, so that's how the ubottu DB got so big. Nice feature, thanks for telling me! [07:20] al-tabq would the same not be possible with zsh as well? [07:20] Posting again: I have a dualscreen laptop, and when I enable the dualscreen mode, my mouse's horizontal sensitivity becomes much greater than vertical. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. [07:21] prince_jammys would the same not be possible with zsh as well? [07:21] os[daniel@rarity, Linux 3.3.0-rc1-dickriderjoah x86_64] [07:21] #1 kernel [07:21] stupid nick completion.. [07:21] hold up [07:21] whats wrong with zsh [07:21] al-tabq: zsh is really not portable, though i don't know what you mean. [07:21] I use it on all my systems [07:22] nothing is wrong with zsh ... except when he wants something that's gonna work across OS's [07:22] at least across unix [07:22] date [07:22] can't really count on zsh being there. [07:22] oops [07:22] malac0da, a quick comparision reveals backups, lock, packages, run, (games) to be missing... [07:23] malac0da, games is of course far from critical here ;-) [07:23] the run is what I was worried about because in that site i posted it says about moving and copying that folder which === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris === prite is now known as pritambaral === pritambaral is now known as _pritambaral_ === _pritambaral_ is now known as pritam_baral === pritam_baral is now known as prite [07:25] Well..I guess I will be doing a reinstall of it [07:25] hmm, it seems that both run and lock are in fact symlinks to subdirs of the /root FS, so that leaves us with backups (does probably not exist on a new system before the first backup and packages. [07:26] malac0da, yes, but before you do, please file a bug, this kind of info is of great importance to the stability of the future release. [07:26] Posting again: I have a dualscreen laptop, and when I enable the dualscreen mode, my mouse's horizontal sensitivity becomes much greater than vertical. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. Help, please. [07:27] I wouldn't even know where to begin...I wasnt really watching while it was updating or anything either [07:27] where would I go to do it [07:27] Aerosonic: you could state what your video chipset is. and what drivers you are using. ive never seen that issue [07:27] dr_willis: ATI Radeon HD 3200, stock drivers. [07:28] dr_willis: I doubt it's something with the drivers. [07:28] I always have problems with my ati card and linux [07:28] For people running into problems with ibus, check if all other input method systems have been deinstalled. Ibus does not seem to like competition ;-) [07:28] anyone know where I can find a downloadable version of synaptics gesture suite for linux? [07:28] Seems to be touchpad drivers. [07:29] Aerosonic: given what ive seen with ati drivers.. its very likely is some quirk of th drivers.. but i only have one ati system and i dont use dual monitors with it. [07:29] A secondary mouse on the laptop doesn't show the problems [07:29] Given that the malfunctioning mouse is synaptics... Something is strange. [07:30] id say check the forums and askubuntu.com You mean the touchpad acts differntly? or you are using 2 mice? [07:30] What is understood by "The Ubuntu-mono Archives"? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mono/ [07:30] dr_willis: Both mice are built in, the touchpad is acting up, the gesture mouse is working normally [07:31] y [07:31] not sure how you build in a 'mouse' or what a 'gesture mouse' is. [07:31] VirtualBox, Extensions enabled, Windows XP Pro, Ubuntu 11.10, iPhone NOT being recognized [07:32] dr_willis: Mice that is up in front of the screen, you manipulate it by moving your fingers in front of it [07:32] Just to make a point about ATI and linux...I closed catalyst and it logged me out... [07:32] Hi I have made a bash script executable, but i can not add it directly to "docky", but if i first add the script to panel, and when drag the panel-created application to docky it works. So my question is, how can i set the same properties done when adding to panel directly to the script file? [07:32] dr_willis: A laser sensor [07:32] Sort-of [07:32] lasers are for killing! :) [07:32] Sorry for that single 'y' I was performing a VBox install parallel to chatting ;-) [07:32] eh [07:32] Ubuntu sucks [07:33] where is the first-person shooter games for Ubuntu [07:33] This never happens on Arch [07:33] Pepp-elito: you may wan tot make an actual .desktop file launcher for your script. [07:33] But due to horrid hardware issues I have to use Ubuntu === Vaela is now known as Vaela_Sleep [07:33] Aerosonic: you sucks [07:33] way to butter people up :) [07:33] Chuck_Norris: Given the proper device, I will. [07:34] * dr_willis goes back to making cookies. [07:34] Aerosonic, Chuck_Norris, Let's keep things civil, right? [07:34] Stereocaulon: ok [07:35] Aerosonic, did you already try another distro, apart from Arch or Ubuntu? The problem might lie upstream rather then being tied to a specific distro. [07:36] never mind.. :O [07:36] Stereocaulon, he's gone [07:36] * dr_willis still wonders how you click a gesture-mouse [07:36] bazhang, Well he did not have much patience... [07:36] dr_willis, probably, but i don't know how. The point is that i don' want the same a "application" visible in several places on the desktop. I only wan't a single script-file that i can drag to docky ( or script-file and an desktop file, but in this case i want the desktop file in a patth i decide). Is the possible? [07:37] Wow... How do I access the vboxusers group to add myself too [07:37] Pepp-elito: keep your scripts in some dir in your path. like ~/bin or /opt/bin and copy/edit the existing .desktop launcher files to make your own. [07:38] some tools to help http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-11-10oneiric.html [07:39] dr_willis, i see [07:39] dr_willis, thanks [07:39] help me [07:40] similer info http://shuffleos.com/3274/how-to-create-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ [07:40] Evilkiss1: state the issue [07:40] celltech, you can use this: sudo useradd -G vboxusers [07:40] I don't understand this issue...always I login to pidgin, I have this number 1 after my nick [07:40] Stereocaulon, celltech: NO, DONT DO THAT [07:40] but i has registered for nick Evilkiss [07:40] Flannel, why not? [07:41] Evilkiss1: perhaps ask in #freenode [07:41] Stereocaulon, celltech: Because you forgot the -a, which means he'll blow away all his secondary groups. [07:41] celltech, Stereocaulon: user `sudo adduser username vboxusers` instead, it's much safer. [07:41] Flannel, you are so right, thanks for spotting this [07:41] er, use, not user. [07:41] Flannel++ [07:42] dr_willis, do you know how i restart the windowmanager, like metacity and/or compiz in ubuntu 10.10?((commandline) [07:42] What is understood by "The Ubuntu-mono Archives"? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mono/ [07:42] Pepp-elito: --replace [07:42] bullgard4: its not clear what you are asking. [07:43] grabbing a bite, will be back a little later... [07:43] looks like an archive of bug reports related to mono. [07:43] bullgard4: the url sounds like a archive of the ubuntu mono mailing list === Stereocaulon is now known as Stereocaulon_ofl [07:43] dr_willis: Can you tell me what "The Ubuntu-mono Archives" are? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mono/ [07:44] "Mailing list for packaging Mono and related applications for Ubuntu. [07:44] mailing list - alterantive to forum/newsgroups [07:44] so its an archive of everyones discussion from the mailing-lists [07:45] dr_willis: What association is "the ubuntu mono" so that there is a "ubuntu mono mailing list"? [07:45] bullgard4: Please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [07:45] its a grup of developers that are focused on packaing mono in ubuntu sounds like.. [07:45] prite, how can i check which windowmanager is active? [07:46] Flannel: Why can I not ask this question here? I am asking about Ubuntu don't I? [07:46] theres most likely a ubuntu kernel mailing list and other lists focusing on specific ubuntu areas [07:46] try `ps ax | grep ` to see if the is running. Generally: if Desktop Effects are flashy, it's probably compiz. If Desktop Effects suck, it's probably metacity [07:47] bullgard4: Helping you understand english isn't Ubuntu technical support; it belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic. You've asked these things in there forever anyway, I don't know why you switched over to asking in #ubuntu. [07:48] Pepp-elito: or, this command will do: wmctrl -m | grep "Name" | cut -c7- [07:49] Noob question, but I just downloaded a driver from https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/xf86-input-synaptics/ [07:49] hi [07:49] can one prevent malicious services from an usb stick to spread on ubuntu [07:49] It's downloaded, I'm looking at the file, how do I get synaptic package manager to open it? [07:50] Silpelit: most likely - you dont. Unless someone made a .deb of it. [07:50] even then . drivers are normally compiled for a specific kernel [07:50] some one can show me how extract a multiarchive zip (file.z1,file.z2 ecc.) with 7zip from terminal please? [07:50] lotuspsychje: malicious services? never seen one of those.. never sene a way for a usb stick to 'infect' a linux machine either. [07:51] pigeta: i tend to cheat and use the 'unp' command. [07:51] anyone here know how to get a gobi 2000 chip working on a cr-48 chromebook? [07:51] lotuspsychje: dont warry abour your usb using ubuntu [07:51] pigeta: normally one just extracts the frst file and it finds the rest. [07:51] !info unp [07:51] unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0~pre7 (oneiric), package size 13 kB, installed size 124 kB [07:51] prite, thanks now i have created a nice simple script which disables compositing when starting xbmc and enables it again on exit. No video tearing in xbmc any more and the only cost is a small ficker when exiting xbmc =) [07:51] dr_willis: are you sure botnet worms can't spread on ubuntu? [07:51] lotuspsychje: going to be a bit hard for a user to infect the whole system.. [07:52] and theres no 'auto run on insertion' of usb devices that ive seen. [07:52] lotuspsychje: dont panic dude this is not windows [07:52] lol [07:52] lotuspsychje: Linux != windows [07:52] 'double-click-here-for-porn.sh' dosent really work well in linux ;) [07:53] I'd bash that. [07:53] >.> [07:53] i agree with dr_willis xD [07:53] dr_willis: there are hardass unix rootkits out there too [07:53] Pepp-elito: just an addition: if you are using ati drivers, video tearing can be handled in the Catalyst Control Center. But still, your script is cooler. [07:53] Pepp-elito: if you enable the 'vsync' (or whate was it called) feature - i rarely see tearing. [07:54] ati's control panel calls it 'anti-tear-technology' or some other silly name. :) [07:54] Silpelit: if the driver is in the repos.. use the package manager tool to search for and install it. [07:55] prite,dr_willis. this is actually the only thing that has worked for me running nvidia ion chipset. I have tried every thing i have found on the web, including vsync, undrirect thing in full screen for compiz etc... [07:55] 'wait for vertical refresh' [07:55] !info xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | Silpelit [07:55] Silpelit: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (source: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics): Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server. In component main, is optional. Version 1.4.1-1ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 65 kB, installed size 256 kB [07:55] could be the cpu/gpu just is lacking in Powar! [07:55] Hello! [07:56] Chuck_Norris: so you dont think usb stick could infect lets say firefox on ubuntu? [07:56] !ask | Johndoe205 [07:56] dr_willis, wait for vertical refrash is this a setting in compiz or xbmc? [07:56] Johndoe205: 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 [07:56] Silpelit: you likely have this installed already. [07:56] Pepp-elito: its a driver setting ive seen it in the nvidia settings tool and the amd tool. [07:56] lotuspsychje: there is no way by defoult dude unless you desactive apparmor and others security stuffs [07:57] They just all like to call it differnt things [07:57] dr_willis : how use unp for join all files (file.z1,file.z2 ecc) and extract inta a single file? [07:57] I have a question regarding bt5 tools. Does it exist for 10.10? [07:57] dr_willis, in nvidia gui-settings or using commandline nvidia-xconfig? [07:57] lotuspsychje: if the user is running unknown source scripts and binaries.. then from a usb or the net.. wont matter. [07:57] Pepp-elito: should be in both. [07:57] lotuspsychje: if merely plugging in a usb stick can infect your system this way, we're in major trouble. [07:58] lotuspsychje: worse case hopefully would be the users stuff gets messed with - system stays secure [07:58] good day, where can i download chromium precise? [07:58] dr_willis: so its not possible to remotely get root on a system on ubuntu? [07:58] thats sort of a keystone in the linux security model seperation of users and root user. [07:59] lotuspsychje: theres alwyas servies or other things that may have exploits.. but ive not heard of any in ages [07:59] the use of sudo on ubuntu makes it even harder. [07:59] stjohnmedrano: apt-get install chromium-browser [08:00] theadmin: thanx, i'll try it now. [08:00] yep, lotuspsychje just dont, run aplication like .run (where nobody can see the code, unless you downloaded it from oficial page like ATIs .run) and run .deb from the oficial repos, or PPAs, and there is no way to crash linux trust me [08:01] pigeta: id just try 'unp foo.z1' assuming you have the 7zip binaries installed. [08:01] dr_willis, i can't find it: nvidia-xconfig -A | grep refresh and i don't see it in the UI settings.. :( [08:01] Pepp-elito: not on an nvidia box so i ant check. [08:02] i recall seeing it in the nvidia-settings tool [08:02] Chuck_Norris: lets say vnc got an exploit on ubuntu, it would be impossible to take over the system? [08:02] i mean its no imposible but there is very very hard to hack linux, even if a noob is using it [08:02] dr_willis, are you running ati zacate? [08:02] Pepp-elito: got some low end ati in this low end cheap desktop i found on sale. [08:02] lotuspsychje: not *impossible*, but with an up-to-date system, unlikely. [08:03] i am sure that there is an update for that exploit, show us the CVS [08:03] prince_jammys: today you are updated, tomorrow there's a new exploit right [08:03] not heardof many exploits lately... [08:03] ok [08:03] other then that screen-lock bypass thing. [08:04] my next question is, what command to use in removing ppa's from terminal? [08:04] Theres linux security sites that follow this stuff better. [08:04] !ppapurge [08:04] dr_willis, okay i was just wondering. zotac has some amd/ati boxes that seems good as htpc. but everyone say that you should not use ati in linux/xbmc. so I'm on nvidia =) [08:04] Pepp-elito: i would run away from ati. :) === max is now known as Guest22094 [08:04] lotuspsychje: and then there''s a patch, so you update, then they find another exploit, and you install the patch ... one day you die :) [08:05] then you get patched.. [08:05] and come back as a zombie process! [08:05] prince_jammys: lol i will die one day [08:05] then your kids update ... [08:05] dr_willis, okay thanks. My script solution works now anyway, so thats nice =) Thanks alot everyone! [08:05] then there's a new exploit ... you get the idea. Don't worr about it. [08:05] ok so ubuntu is pretty safe [08:05] security is all about layers of protection. [08:05] es [08:06] i picked up the "crappy 'y' key" virus. [08:06] ubuntu has quite few layers. theres some more locked down ubuntu and linux variants out there if you want to be truely paranoid [08:06] Yes. [08:06] * dr_willis makes all of prince_jammys 's e on the screen fall down like snow flakes... [08:06] but sure the whole world has ubuntu servers with rootkits [08:07] what version of gnome does the current version of ubuntu come with? [08:07] the world has people running ubuntu servers that fail to understand security basics... [08:07] lotuspsychje: do you run a server? [08:07] prince_jammys: not but i know many get exploited.. [08:08] lotuspsychje: most desktop users fall prey to trojans. Don't run untrusted code and you'll be ok. [08:08] latest linux security news :) http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/156663/187/ [08:09] lotuspsychje: you worry about it a whole lot more if you run a publicly-facing server. [08:09] prince_jammys: these days every1 is prey to malicious websites even when not clicking untrusted banners [08:09] dr_willis: tnx for the link [08:10] that'd be a browser exploit, and those get patched quite quickly. [08:10] lotuspsychje: only if you visit malicious websites (with browsers with security flaws) [08:11] lol dr_willis: what a list of holes :p [08:12] people, take tis to #ubuntu-offtopic and help me please [08:12] what version of gnome does the current version of ubuntu come with? [08:12] phpN00b: 3.2 i think [08:12] lotuspsychje: acutally most are rather trivial or allready patched. or never exploited to begin with [08:12] auronandace, can you verify it? [08:12] phpN00b: i don't run gnome but i can try [08:13] !info gnome-shell [08:13] gnome-shell (source: gnome-shell): graphical shell for the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1 (oneiric), package size 1082 kB, installed size 4956 kB [08:13] phpN00b:ubuntu 11.10 GNOME3.2.1 [08:13] !find gnome-shell [08:13] Found: gnome-shell [08:13] lotuspsychje: thanks, beat me to it [08:14] dr_willis: ill sleep well as i know untrusted services caznt get axs to my system [08:14] lotuspsychje: The number of actually usable exploits is tiny. See also (gasp) openbsd, for a more paranoid outlook... [08:14] Hi, Could someone please advise how to get a ~/.xsession to execute on 11.10. [08:14] lotuspsychje: biggest danger to your system is you (the end user) doing somting silly [08:15] loshki: i run snort on ubuntu, any other packages could help me out? [08:15] dr_willis: very true [08:15] lourens: press alt-F2 [08:15] dr_willis: on windows, browsing the web can be pretty silly [08:15] lotuspsychje: running behind a NAT router is cheap insurance, IMO... [08:15] forever1: I mean as part of startup. [08:16] lourens:the same on startup [08:16] lotuspsychje: on windows everything can be silly [08:16] lotuspsychje: if you're worried about js from the browser, see the noscript firefox extension. [08:16] true lol [08:16] prince_jammys: i use it too :p tnx [08:17] forever1: I mean as part of the system startup procedure. [08:17] Lourens: theres some guides out on doing it. such as .. making a /usr/share/xsessions/xsession.desktop mentioned here http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Quickly_Setting_up_Awesome_with_Gnome [08:17] can ubuntu set removeable media root password to prevent? [08:17] Thanks dr_willis I'm following that one up. [08:18] Anyone ever install WMP10 via PlayOnLinux? Why has it takn almost 2 hours now to uncheck the filetype associations? It's doing something, theres some text flying by in the WMP10 installer window thats too fast to read, and every time it's none so after a few mins I would be able to hit the next item. just that I've been at 3rd from last for s long... [08:18] to prevent what? === Gskellig|away is now known as Gskellig [08:18] lotuspsychje: root doesn't have a password [08:18] prince_jammys: prevent usb stick to see content [08:18] Lourens: some neat info on the man pages also http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man5/Xsession.5.html [08:18] auronandace: IT IS A FEATURE NOT A BUG [08:19] Anyone experienced issues with KVM, whereby the guest system can cause the host to just poweroff? Nothing in logs as to why. [08:19] lotuspsychje: if you're concerned this, you likely need to look into encryption. [08:19] genewitch: i'm aware of why, doesn't mean i agree with it [08:19] *with this [08:19] intok: you did check the wine app database to see if wmp10 even works in wine? [08:19] dr_willis: Thanks. [08:20] auronandace: it's a blessing when you have 100 servers [08:20] auronandace: and goddamned developers always want to screw with configs [08:20] prince_jammys: ok tnx, but if the usb stick was not mine and not encrypted, can i set ubuntu to ask password to users to open the stick? [08:21] once a week, mark it, once a week we send an email "developers should not mess with system configs" [08:21] dr_willis no, figured it was since it was offered via PlayOnLinux [08:21] intok: never used play on linux, they got their own forums perhaps [08:21] hi, which is the chan for the next release ? [08:21] I cant imagine why you would want wmp in linux either. :) [08:21] !precise [08:21] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 - Blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [08:21] lotuspsychje: thanks. [08:22] dr_willis: it's playonlinx [08:22] lotuspsychje: i don't know. if they have access to it and it's not encrypted, i don't see that it would help much. What are you worried about? [08:22] prince_jammys: it sounds fishy [08:22] fish? [08:22] just format the USB stick in some esoteric filesystem [08:22] like... gluster [08:22] then you don't need a password [08:23] prince_jammys:just wondering, like ubuntu asks password for changing network security, maybe it can for removeable media too? [08:23] !info gluster [08:23] lotuspsychje: oh that, to mount removable regardless of what it is? you can do that [08:23] Package gluster does not exist in oneiric [08:23] lotuspsychje: see, PERFECT [08:23] !info gfs [08:23] Package gfs does not exist in oneiric [08:23] if users have physical access to the box, there isn't much you can do if they're committed to snooping around. [08:24] sectionme: sudden poweroffs are often a symptom of a failing power supply, maybe triggered by the extra load. Or it's a horrendous bug, but then, you'd expect other people to see it too. Try #kvm? [08:24] prince_jammys: virtualized systems too [08:24] * dr_willis glues lotuspsychje 's usb ports shut [08:24] i was wondering why users can snoop around in other users home dir..doesnt make sense [08:25] * prince_jammys hides the usb stick inside a pickle. [08:25] lotuspsychje: thats setable to be off if you wante to [08:25] dr_willis: how? [08:25] sectionme: yeah no guest should interfere with host operations. you have a power supply or heat issue [08:25] if you want even more layers of paranoia thers encrypted homes === Stereocaulon_ofl is now known as Stereocaulon [08:25] lotuspsychje: proper use of chown/chmod is one way. [08:25] ok tnx [08:25] sectionme: get an IR thermometer and check your north and south bridges and CPU heatsink temps [08:25] dr_willis yeah, finally got a reply in their IRC room, surprised since I asked there quite awhile back now [08:26] sectionme: $20 says you need thermalpaste on something or a new PSU [08:26] intok: small chat rooms work on entirely different timescales than this one... [08:26] Loshki: a lot of /lastlog -hi and resubmitting your questions [08:26] * lotuspsychje needs powerglue for the whole system :p [08:27] Loshki yeah, here it's neat the femtosecond level at times... [08:27] where is gedit installed? [08:27] genewitch: on a few month old laptop with sandybridge, temps are less then 50oC, its strange as its only happened with one host account, others are working fine (I have a freebsd 8.1 and ubuntu+1 guest working fine) but if I try and boot the freepbx iso when it goes to boot from the iso menu it powers off the guest. [08:27] goddard: why does it matter? try 'which gedit' === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:28] doh host not guest that it powers off. [08:28] dr_willis: isnt there a command to see services that doesnt belong to ubuntu's system?

[08:30] :D [08:30] can't help my paranoia attitude lol [08:30] lotuspsychje: i think you are beating a dead horse.... [08:30] post-traumatic stress? [08:30] :) [08:30] lol [08:30] time to go read some security web sites.. [08:30] lotuspsychje: get a guard dog. or maybe a pit of crocodiles.

[08:31] wahahaha [08:31] sectionme: i run 40 under load... 50C is pushing "i need a new heatsink" [08:31] and quit worrying about someone sticking a usb stick in your pc and making it install some russian-maffia-rootkit-farm [08:31] roflol [08:31] dr_willis: YOU NEVER CAN TELL WITH BEES [08:31] a pit of crocodiles lol [08:31] We got Allagators in the usa [08:32] Put the pc in a Hive of Killer bees! [08:32] surrounded by fire ants!

[08:33] dr_willis:true on last coment [08:33] genewitch: it seems the temps are controlled by the BIOS and no fan control currently under linux for it, it seems to stableise them at 47.3-48oC no matter what. [08:33] if they can enter pentagon or fbi, why would they not axs to ubuntu? [08:34] lotuspsychje: because you don't run a server, and they do. [08:34] there. [08:34] sectionme: yeah so plug the fans into your outlet at the wall [08:34] sectionme: you NEVER CAN BE TOO COOLING [08:34] put that rig in the lake [08:34] watercooled amirite [08:34] Put the PC in a Keg Fridgerator. and run cavles out the hole in the top [08:34] 12:34AM PST the drunkards get on #ubuntu [08:35] write it down [08:35] lotuspsychje: i'm sure ubuntu isn't a valued target as the pentagon or fbi (i bet they are using windows) [08:35] fbiuntu! [08:35] * sectionme notes that on IRC times without zones are pointless [08:35] what a strange statement. [08:35] auronadance: lol [08:35] write it down :P [08:36] they're also, like, running the US military. [08:36] lotuspsychje:What's on your system thats so important to protect? [08:36] dr_willis: ive readed that fbi created a linux safe distro? [08:36] his lolcat image collection. [08:36] kitties.jpg [08:36] lotuspsychje: yeah, with flash installed by default [08:36] lotuspsychje: theres various nsc (nsa?) linux and other os projects for harddended security [08:37] lotuspsychje: but most importantly, i repeat, you're not running a public-facing server. [08:37] im just a paranoia user that knows what the underworld is up to [08:37] lotuspsychje: see http://www.nsa.gov/research/selinux/ [08:37] lotuspsychje: i doubt if you really know what they are up to. :) [08:37] yeah thats the one dr_willis [08:37] or else you whouldent be on irc. :) [08:38] lotuspsychje: with your ip address hanging out there. :) [08:38] lotuspsychje:then set ip:port traps with alerts and setup a ghost system interface [08:38] ive notied i get more ssh attempts when im on IRC then when im not. :) [08:38] dr_willis: i read security.nl every day, like millions of users get exploited [08:39] i think its good for a user not to trust everything right [08:40] lotuspsychje: install trusted software. use encryption where necessary. install security updates. [08:40] lotuspsychje:true [08:40] forever1:whats a good ghost system? [08:41] lotuspsychje: if you're really worried you could consider using tor [08:41] that's a different story. now we're talkin privacy. [08:41] every day they find new tricks to hack into ppl pcbanking websites [08:41] virtual os with virtualbox ported as you network with the virtual os giving shared internet to the host on the back end, it allows you to setup three firewalls [08:42] tor and vpn would be cool idea yeah [08:42] lotuspsychje: but you *don't* run a website! [08:42] * prince_jammys busts out the hose. [08:43] running a website is even more danger indeed [08:43] what is secure ? [08:43] thats my point [08:43] how would I convert a folder of raw image files to jpg with imagemagick [08:43] lotuspsychje: or better yet, for ultimate security: don't connect to the internet [08:43] tor is more for anommity not security [08:43] doesn't seem to be working [08:43] Gskellig: you got a cli command to do it for one file? [08:44] auronandace, that doesnt mean you secure you still have the human element [08:44] dr_willis, its different for one file or a bunch of files [08:44] it uses "convert" for one file [08:44] or "mogrify" for batch [08:44] Gskellig: or you can use 'find' and have it run the command on each file.... [08:44] how? [08:44] Can anyone help me to setup a local DNS server? [08:44] or some other bash-script-fu [08:44] or use imagemagick's ability to understand globs, iirc. [08:44] hey guys real quick question, do i want FGLRX (post-release updates) or regular FGLRX driver?

[08:50] plugging in my vga cord(a really cheap underfeatured thing) to the card doesn't do any sort of auto switching. [08:50] xase: for most pcs it will default to the pci/pcie/whatever card - if theres one plugged in. [08:50] lotuspsychje: if you're truly obsessive about security, you might even be interested in debian stable, or even some BSD. [08:50] there may be bios settings to disalbe the onboard chipset. [08:50] I checked... there wasn't... just one to set the preferred graphics card. [08:50] You may need to install the nvidia driers, then reboot also. [08:50] I set to PCI [08:50] prince_jammys, i like ubuntu's eyecandy too much :p [08:50] I also did that already. [08:51] lotuspsychje: well, stop worrying then. follow the standard tips we gave and you'll be fine. [08:51] you ran the nvidia-settings tool after rebooting? [08:51] Nope. [08:51] sudo nvidia-settings ? [08:51] Need help? [08:51] This is a legacy card... [08:51] Does that apply? [08:52] prince_jammys: im not worried, i just find it very ironic one reads security exploits everywhere, and then they say systems are secure.. [08:53] lotuspsychje: if you want a pc that no one will try to hack - try installing Fluffy Linux ---> http://apachelog.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/fluffy/ [08:53] lotuspsychje: the truth is that security is a constant battle -- a lot of time spent. [08:53] lotuspsychje: some researcher reporting that they found a 'potential exploit that is patched by a updaed ersion' isent really much of an exploit. [08:53] prince_jammys: i agree on that [08:54] How do i donate to ubuntu? [08:54] !donate | SI4 [08:54] SI4: To donate to Ubuntu, you can !participate or go to http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/donate [08:54] lotuspsychje: just focus on the attacks that would apply to *you*, and be cautious. [08:54] is it non profit org, for tax deductions?

[08:55] thats too bad [08:57] Hmm [08:58] Is there a way to tell it to use a specific card using a terminal, just to test to make sure it even works? [08:58] dr_willis: you know as well as me that not everyone will update every day [08:58] do i want FGLRX (post-release updates) or regular FGLRX driver? [08:58] lotuspsychje: sounds like you will [08:59] ubuntu has auto-update security updates features.. thats the main thing. [08:59] auronandace: yes updated ocelot 64 bit on ssd [08:59] ... [08:59] lotuspsychje: so why worry about other peoples security? [09:00] how do I resize MBR partitions that contain dm_crypt+lvm2? [09:00] lotuspsychje, except for ocd folks who have their special boxes set up to do just that with cron :p [09:01] auronandace: why not worry opensource, every1 benefits [09:01] pointless worrying is pointless [09:02] have 2 ubuntu distros installed in my system [09:02] how to make HOME directory common for both [09:02] ?

[09:03] hangs01 set home as a seperate partition, and make sure both users have the correct permissions and user id. [09:04] xase: ok will make a separate partition mounted as /home [09:04] hansg01, that would normally not be a smart thing to do, better symlink individual dirs. [09:04] Stereocaulon: synlink?

[09:45] markyxxxz:thats a driver problem you must update [09:45] forever1: nope restarting didn't add the ubuntu button [09:46] markyxxxz: maybe set BIOS keyboard and mouse to bios instead of Os [09:46] Ririshi: so it sounds like either the bios Might have some 'protect the bootloader' option. or some how grub is not getting installed,m or installed wrongly [09:46] forever1: please be specific.

[09:46] dr_willis: lol im only 13 xd [09:47] goddard:then you will have to open it from the termal alt-f2 and let the docky pick it up as a recently use app [09:48] markyxxxz: start the pc and press esc, del or f2 to enter BIOS, then search for the keyboard option (Os or BIOS) and set to bios [09:48] lotuspsychje:You meant go to BIOS then set it there? I"m not sure if my BIOS has that option. [09:48] markyxxxz: its worth a try [09:48] markyxxxz: think about it on ubuntu live it uses generic and on ubuntu install it finds drivers, so you need to to revert [09:49] lotuspsychje: Ok. That's weird. I never touched my BIOS. What i did was tried AMD Catalyst 12.1. It worked. Then when I restarted, that's when everything got screwed. [09:49] back to generic [09:49] g2g :) [09:50] so I deleted all fglrx* related packages like I'ev done countless times in the past. Never had this issue of losing keyboard, mouse or touchapd.

Two sites already confirms 12.1 works for Hybrid ATI+Intel graphics. [09:53] I think on Phoronix and Linux Hybrid Blogspot [09:54] dr_willis: I checked bios [09:54] jasonmsp: I think there is a firefox language add-on you might have to change.

[09:55] fglrx_8.920-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb [09:55] i have no idea on hybrid [09:55] Ririshi: partedmagic has good tools from extras menu that should get you back in your system [09:55] Ririshi: insert flash, determind the /dev/sdXX name of the flash use the same tools/commands to install grub to that /dev/sdXXX [09:55] travmon: what? Linux newb [09:55] dr_willis: Ayt. Well I don't care about that stupid fglrx driver for now. Just want myk keyboard and touchpad working again. :( [09:55] ehehhe [09:56] !partedmagic [09:56] Ririshi: http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=downloads [09:56] try the info trigger travmon [09:56] dr_willis: how to know what /dev/sdXX my flash is? [09:57] Ririshi: plug it in.. look at dmesg output. or sudo fdisk -l output [09:57] Ririshi, just perform a sudo fdisk -l -h [09:57] markyxxxz: guide i followed was --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/62808/ati-incompatible-with-gnome-shell [09:57] markyxxxz: i still cant get gnome-shell working right. [09:58] Ririshi: Do you have more than one internal drive? [09:58] dr_willis: Yeah I hear fglrc is bad on gS [09:58] Stereocaulon: dr_willis: Should I start the terminal from the USB LiLi installer? [09:58] ok... later guys ;) [09:59] Ririshi, yes that seems sensible. [09:59] Ririshi: how have you been trying to reinstall grub? You do it the same way but install grub to a flash drive instead of the hard drive.. could be yuve been doing somthing wrong. [09:59] Jordan_U: Yes I do, but I can't start my WInXP. I don't know why. I normally use Win7 [10:00] * dr_willis dosent really trust LiLi very mich. [10:01] Ririshi: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces. [10:01] !bootinfo | Ririshi [10:01] Ririshi: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [10:01] brb === Stereocaulon is now known as Stereocaulon_brb [10:01] dr_willis: did you try another distro with gnome-shell as default to test? [10:02] lotuspsychje: nope. I just have this one amd/ati box. It wouldent even do unity, or gnome shell by default - the fglrx drivers in the repos had issues also.. tried the ones following that guide. unity works.. g-s semi-works has graphic curruption all the time in differnt areas [10:03] Jordan_U how should I run it? From the USB loader? [10:03] lotuspsychje: from what i gather theres kernel 3.x and fglrx issues. [10:03] Ririshi: Yes. [10:04] Ririshi: err.. how else could you run it? you just have the one bootable usb drive? [10:04] Jordan_U may I have a command? dr_willis: Yeah, only that. And a windows system xd [10:05] there is that grub repair tool that you can intall from the live cd - to help fix grub. but i cant recall the url. It may be at that fixgrub wiki page. [10:05] Ririshi: See the guide linked to you by ubottu. [10:05] i tend to always make a spare usb with grub for each pc. :) so i rarely need to repair it [10:06] !fixgrub [10:06] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [10:06] 'boot repair' thats it. :) gotta love it.. needs to be on the default intalls/cds [10:06] dr_willis: You don't get it.. I try to install Lubuntu. No live Start is possible.. [10:07] dr_willis: is that normal? XD [10:08] Ririshi: never noticed. thoguht there was a 'try' and 'install' and 'repair' options [10:08] dr_willis: wait.. I downloaded the alternate amd64 [10:08] anyway im out fellas [10:08] the alt-cd is a text only installer.... [10:08] tnx for an interesting chat [10:09] Ririshi: you may want to just get that 'boot-repair-disk' mentioned at the fixgrub url and use it [10:09] or try installing using a normal desktop cd [10:10] hi all, i'0m trying to update 11.04 to 11.10 by CD but it doesn't make me select 'upgrate 11.04 to 11.10'. Why ? [10:10] SteM: yo have the desktop cd? or the alt-installer cd? [10:11] dr_willis: God lol i need to wait 4 hours again... Slow download speeds... [10:11] i think desktop cd, but i downloaded it a month ago .. [10:11] Ririshi, On dial-up? :P [10:11] SteM: the desktop cd does not support that feature as far as i know. Only the alt-cd does [10:12] aBound: DSL modem should have about 4Mbit but only have 160Kbyte [10:12] desktop cd allow me only an installation from the scratch ? [10:12] The alternative Ubuntu iso image is more suited if you want a customized version of Ubuntu. [10:12] SteM: it does not function as a repository for updateing.. correct. Unless theres been changes to it. [10:12] aBound: they can't give us more, because we're at the end of the line or sthZz [10:12] ..* [10:13] thanks [10:13] Ririshi, I used to have that kind of speed but with DSL usually the higher you pay the more speed you get. [10:13] Ririshi: If you want something automated and small (less than 2 MiB) that will allow you to boot your Ubuntu install you may want to try Super GRUB2 Disk. [10:13] i got so much speed now.. i used up my 250gb quota in a week... :) [10:14] Jordan_U okay [10:15] dr_willis, HA! Sounds like you had fun. [10:15] kids did watching netflix.. :) [10:15] hehe [10:15] 'Honest i did not do any torrenting....' :) [10:16] :P [10:16] #ubuntu.it [10:16] Torrenting is completely legitimate given some Linux ISOs are hosted on it. [10:16] that boot-repair tool is really.. getting impressive [10:16] How do I get the iso on my USB? [10:16] They need to make a mini-iso with it on there. [10:16] lets get back on topic please [10:16] (Super GRUB2 Disc) [10:17] Ririshi, with what tool [10:17] Ririshi: use unetbootin, or tools from pendrivelinux, or other tools [10:17] dr_willis: okay [10:17] Ririshi: i tend to use the stuff from Pendrivelinux, i dont care for 'LiLi' === Stereocaulon_brb is now known as Stereocaulon [10:17] Ririshi, If you aren't already using Ubuntu there's: Start Up Disk Creator.

[13:32] pangolin, no thanks, I haven't had any issues with Windows since I switched to linux in 1997 :-P [13:32] lmfao! [13:32] depends on your hardware [13:32] cool, then lets get back to Ubuntu support and stay on topic. [13:33] Scott's question never got answered. [13:33] Scott_292: that should work === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [13:34] thanks all [13:34] since dd is pipe aware === Lucifer is now known as Guest57016 [13:38] overclucker, yeah the man page says stdin is assumed if 'if' isn't used === sKew is now known as Guest92133 === Guest92133 is now known as Skew^_- === Skew^_- is now known as Skew-_^ [13:40] Slow channel... [13:41] hi [13:42] cipherboy, Slow channel?!.. #ubuntu, normally it is so fast I have to open up private channels in order to help someone efficiently. [13:42] cipherboy, but right now, yes not too many questions right now. [13:43] iam thinking of buying a new laptop, maby a asus zenbook (ultrabook) or a acer ultrabook, i want it to run linux whitout to mutch hassle, and is it only ATI cards i shud look out fore that it dosent have, or what is the best laptop for linux? [13:43] ? [13:43] Skew-_^, better look out for nVidia cards instead if you want do any 3D. [13:43] Skew-_^: thinkpads are awesome, try to avoid switchable graphics [13:44] Stereocaulon, nVida cards is bad for linux? i gotr truble whit my ati card ;S [13:44] Skew-_^: nvidia cards are better supported [13:45] Skew-_^, nVidia cards bad for linux? Where did you get that silly idea? [13:45] Yeah. [13:45] Skew-_^: you might want to check out -> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [13:46] hrm, interesting; I made changes to my grub.cfg, but when I try to start a VM from /dev/sda, I don't see the changes http://absdev.org/grub-qemu.png [13:46] (the casing of "fallback"/"Fallback") [13:49] Stereocaulon, wass a question cuz i wrote is it only ATI cards i shud look out for that the computer dosent have and u sayd nVida :P [13:50] Skew-_^, I see, well you *did* ask for advice didn't you? [13:51] during installation, I must specify a partitioning scheme. is that scheme saved somewhere on the destination disk? [13:51] Stereocaulon, yes ;) and iam gonna turn away from ATI cards ;P only problem whit it, damn have u seen this? ASUS ZENBOOK UX31E RY012V - 13.3" [13:51] want to use the partitiong scheme in a preseed file [13:52] hi, how can i tell apt-get in the config, that i don't want to install recommendet packages? [13:52] Skew-_^, it looks like pretty precise Macbook pro ripoff... [13:53] Segaja: edit /etc/apt/apt.conf and add a line like: APT::Install-Recommends "false"; [13:53] sure but its sexy, i think thinkpad looks like it have allways done the last 20years [13:53] Skew-_^, When I look up the specs I see Intel Graphics. Well, for 2D graphics those chips are actually really good. [13:55] Stereocaulon, :) when u talk about 3D graphics you meen like 3D movies and 3D games whit glasses? [13:55] pangolin: i don't have this file [13:55] Segaja: create it [13:55] Skew-_^, well...Thinkpads tend to be mostly intact when you drop them. I'm not so sure about this one. Your data will probably be safe, because it's an SSD. but the rest... === siric is now known as sitic [13:55] Skew-_^, no, I talk about any 3D accelaration at all... [13:57] alright, I try to boot my windows disk now its saying it can't find bootmgr [13:57] Skew-_^, The point is, that laptop is not usable for games or 3D modelling, for humble office jobs, this will do fine. [13:57] kk i see i see [13:57] KevinLaptop, ==> #windows [13:57] what does that have to do with windows? its GRUB [13:57] grub is what's telling me this [13:57] iam gonna change out my HP Envy 14-1190eo to somthing that is more Linux friendly [13:58] pangolin: thanks [13:58] KevinLaptop: if you are booting with the windows CD you should not be seeing grub at all [13:58] Segaja: welcome [13:58] hello all, I'm looking for a virtual pet "toy" application, I'm not talking about AMOR, I want somthing a little more along the lines of the old "Petz" program.. anything like that around? [13:58] pangolin, good point! [13:58] KevinLaptop do you get the grub menu? [13:58] Stereocaulon, i travle alot so i need one that is powerfull and not so heavy [13:58] pangolin: Yes, that's exactly my point, but grub ISN'T letting it boot from my recovery disk. HP Sent me about 3 disks of windows 7 recovery, and NONE of them work [13:59] MonkeyDust: no, all I see is the grub rescue thing [13:59] KevinLaptop: check your BIOS and make sure you have boot from CD set first [13:59] pangolin: already done that [13:59] KevinLaptop: further help with windows in ##windows [13:59] Skew-_^, you still haven't told us what you need it for. What are your needs for this lappy? [13:59] KevinLaptop maybe this link is useful http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ [14:00] MonkeyDust, it is a bit old, don't know if that would still work with Vista and up. [14:00] MonkeyDust: thank you, I will try that :-) [14:00] Stereocaulon: I'll try anything at this point lol [14:01] omfg, now its saying the same thing when I try to boot ubuntu livecd.. [14:01] KevinLaptop, for more modern games, Wine is actually pretty good. [14:01] Stereocaulon, hmm, vbox, office, web browsing, movies, music, some games, maby autocad or scetchup [14:02] Stereocaulon: anything is worth a try, thanks for the info :D [14:02] KevinLaptop, well first of all, you'll need to tell your BIOS to start from CD *before* looking up a bootloader on your HDD/ SSD [14:03] Hello everyone, for some reason I am not able to connect to smb share using gnome file manager. However i can connect using konqueror? [14:03] KevinLaptop, if you have (U)EFI instead, the principle is almost the same, but it will look shiny and have mouse support :-P [14:04] Skew-_^, Try browsing www.winehq.org/appdb, you may not even need Windows. [14:04] Stereocaulon: its already set to boot cd first [14:04] KevinLaptop, in that case you waited to long on the question wheter it should boot from optical/ CD or not. [14:05] Stereocaulon, i need windows for ipad, and iphone sync/backup :P the itunes true wine is buggy [14:05] I keep having a problem with installing ubuntu via windows 7, when the installation is nearing completion i get a Windowsbackend eror about the iso path and can't install, also it refuses to let me boot from the usb drive i installed ubuntu on [14:05] Skew-_^, you could start Windows in a VM, you know... [14:05] Hello! I had a question about Ubuntu and RAM. My friend told me that it allocates so space on the HDD to give you more RAM than you actually have. But my Activity Monitor tells me I have what is installed. Any thoughts? [14:06] Stereocaulon, yes vbox^^ [14:06] Specifically, something called "Swap" [14:06] , thats is called swap / virtual file system (windows) [14:06] Skew-_^, or kvm/ Xen (more performance, but less user friendliness) [14:07] ZynuiMaiche: yes, teh installer by default allocates some swap. What specifically did you want to know? [14:07] howdie howdie! how's it hangin'? [14:07] artichoku: to the left [14:07] lol [14:07] X-/ [14:07] everyone always says that [14:07] i gotta change my macro [14:07] kek [14:07] I guess, how does it work? I have about 1GB of actual RAM, and Swap says it has 2.8GB. Does this mean I effectively have 4GB of RAM? [14:08] ZynuiMaiche: no, you have 1G of actual RAM, but if you run out then the kernel can swap some out to dosk. Generally it swaps out stuff that's not being used much [14:08] zynuimaiche, have you used windows before? swap is kind of like the virtual memory of windows [14:08] ZynuiMaiche, you can look at swap as an emergency storage if you have run of RAM. [14:08] ZynuiMachie, the way sap works it if your os runs out of RAM, it will use the swap space [14:08] swap is *slow* though...you don't want to have to use it if you can help it [14:09] I keep having a problem with installing ubuntu via windows 7, when the installation is nearing completion i get a Windowsbackend eror about the iso path and can't install, also it refuses to let me boot from the usb drive i installed ubuntu on [14:09] anyone know how to fix this? [14:09] ssta, ZynuiMaiche, yes it is painfully slow, but you will always need a small swap partition. [14:09] hmmmm ok very interesting. So it's kind of like an emergency usage kind of thing? [14:10] join #ubuntu-ir [14:10] scopey: what is the exact error [14:10] Scopey: http://askubuntu.com/questions/84198/windows-backend-object-has-no-attribute-iso-path-see-log-for-details-err [14:10] Scopey: is that the problem? [14:10] yeah [14:10] socpey, did you make sure the usb is bootable [14:10] !swap | ZynuiMaiche [14:10] ZynuiMaiche: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [14:10] Stereocaulon: not actually true, but close denough I suppose [14:10] tank you [14:11] I just followed the instructions ont he ubuntu site to make it a bootable device, using universal usb installer [14:11] the good doctor is in [14:11] after it was done, I tried to install and the error i got was "windowsbackend object has no attribute 'iso_path'" [14:11] artichoku, yes indeed :-) [14:11] burn a disk scopey [14:11] APTonCD, is there a way to have it include more packages, not just the last downloaded? [14:11] at work also.. gotta love cellphones that can irc [14:11] why can't i do it via usb? [14:11] if you're installing and not running live [14:11] Scopey: you need to set your BIOS to boot from USB first [14:12] you can use mobalive CD a qemu emulator to test if you can boot via the usb [14:12] dr_willis, so what model cell do you use? [14:12] Scopey: that link I posted seems to suggest that you can't use wubi from USB drives [14:12] pangolin: I have set my bios to boot from removable media first, but it refuses to let me boot from usb [14:12] furthermore, why would the ubuntu site say you can? [14:12] ok thanks for the info on that everybody! My other question is how to run a jar file from terminal such that if I close the terminal, the jar executed will remain open. Is this possible? [14:13] zynuimaiche java ./file [14:13] ZynuiMaiche, yes, just do this: java & [14:13] ZynuiMaiche, yes, just do this: java -jar & [14:13] yeah the -jar [14:13] mer bad [14:13] ZynuiMaiche: nohup command & then 'exit' to close the term [14:13] artichoku, as you've seen I omittted it also at first ;-) [14:13] i'll try doing it via disc and see if that works [14:14] i forget it frequently, then it doesn't work, and i remember, lol [14:14] ZynuiMaiche: or start using screen ;) [14:14] !screen [14:14] screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [14:15] byobu is awesomeness [14:15] !dance [14:15] i do not dance! [14:15] for some reason I am not able to connect to smb share using gnome file manager. However i can connect using konqueror. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem. [14:16] !dance [14:16] i do not dance! [14:16] lol [14:16] I don't think you're supposed to be doing that, e-anima [14:16] responding to a bot command, that is [14:16] !dance [14:16] how about this, if I reinstall ubuntu will it fix my problems? [14:16] i do not dance!

[14:17] and thats no bot, that a simple trigger 1 line [14:18] e-anima: please make sure it is disabled for this channel [14:18] stereocaulon, ikr?!

I can't understand how that will make any difference [14:19] I will give it a go anyhow [14:19] rasterizer_, good point, maybe nautilus is wonky on this. [14:19] brb [14:19] rasterizer_: ive had name fail and ip numbers work [14:20] no idea why.. [14:20] ssta: install via cd worked, thanks, i'll be back on a bit with another question lol [14:20] rasterizer_, why don't you file a bug with nautilus? [14:22] could be some time out differances also [14:23] samba and windiws shares seem to get flakier every year [14:23] stereocaulon, dr_willis: it works now [14:23] rasterizer_: ip or name.. or both... === Skew^_- is now known as Skew-_^ [14:23] it was not the ip , but the path or share i was entering was incorrect [14:23] typos ;) [14:24] yep [14:24] dr_willis: it's (somewhat) due to the desire to make it seamless and easy for users when it's inherently not as easy as all that...there are multiple barely semi-compatible versions of SMB/CIFS. Even Windows has trouble deciding how to connect sometimes [14:24] I wonder if that d === m00se is now known as skinnyfingershop [14:25] fuse smb thing works === skinnyfingershop is now known as m00se [14:25] bbl. [14:25] I have one more question, what is the max data transfer we can get over a smb network share locally and what parameters this will depend on [14:26] I tried to copy about 16 gb over smb it took about 8-10 hours. [14:26] dr_willis: nautilus is using fuse behind the scenes I think. [14:27] ssta, fues if only if the share is a NTFS i think [14:27] rasterizer_, or another non-native FS, I agree. [14:27] rasterizer_: if the data is transferred over TCP/IP, it makes no difference on what kind of filesystem it is... [14:28] rasterizer_: nope. fuse is "filesystem in userspace", it basically means that the driver for the filesystem isn't running directly inside the kernel space [14:29] rasterizer_: so, for exsample, sshfs is fuse [14:29] Myrtti, I would say fuse would be use locally by the server. And the client will use a Tcp/ip stream [14:30] hmm, nautilus uses gvfs, which (I think) is a different userspace vfs layer to fuse. Same sort of thing though [14:31] Hey guys, quick question, how can i get ubuntu/a program to scan a drive and delete all illegal characters in filenames? aka I want to go through a drive and delete all illegal characters (as per windows conventions) in the filenames [14:31] کسی از ایران ایجا هست؟ [14:31] Scopey: define "illegal"?

The spacxe in the tree name won't help [14:40] Scopey: I'm only half paying attention and I don't know much about it, but the spaces in the directory name might screw things up [14:40] Scopey: that probably wouldn't work right if your filenames have spaces [14:40] It seems my 11.10 doesn't automount removable media with xfce, any idea why? Thunar has volume management enabled and the config looks right. [14:40] Scopey: personally I'd put an echo in front of that "mv" so I can SEE what it's doing before I let it actually do it [14:40] Scopey: if it's only 27 files, why not just fix them by hand? [14:40] Scopey: maybe put the full path in quotes [14:41] ssta: JackAnansi: I can fix the folder name so there's no space in the folder name [14:41] Scopey: I'd suggest just use the rename command...

[14:42] Scopey: rename -n 's/charactersIdon'tlike//' files_I_want_to_rename [14:42] Scopey: ah, okay. Remove the spaces firs then. There are lots of scripts for doing that (google for "script to remove spaces in filenames") [14:43] Scopey: erm, throw on a g after the two slashes [14:43] I just installed ubuntu along side windows 7, and now windows 7 won't boot [14:43] I can see the windows in boot menu, but when i click on it, windows does not boot and after few secs, again i am presented to choose from the ubuntu or windows [14:43] ssta: i'm a little worried about removing all the spaces when it comes to going back and renaming the files after :S [14:43] snimavat: can you select windows from the boot menu?

[14:45] how can i find what name the program is? [14:45] varikonniemi: define "name" [14:45] ah, now I see it - thunar doesn't cope with these multimode devices I have [14:45] Scopey: basically this is not a trivial thing...it can cause dataloss. It's more than possible (in fact, stuff like this is why I love unix), but given that it's hairy, I don't wnt to be the cause of you losing data [14:45] locate glc-capture does not find anything [14:45] I need an alternative volume manager that works with xfce then [14:45] varikonniemi: you want the location?

[14:47] I did nothing fancier when installing ubuntu, but still windows won't boot - though its present in boot menu [14:47] how can I invoke ubuntu software center from the command line? [14:48] snimavat, if you have not formatted the windows partition. I would advised us windows boot disk to do a recovery [14:48] what's the name of its executable? [14:48] loxs: software-center -_- [14:48] rasterizer_ Yes windows partition is not formatted - I can see data from ubuntu file explorer [14:49] rasterizer_ How do i do recovery ? will ubuntu still work after that ?

[14:51] yeats, after I installed it, it's fine :) [14:51] loxs: ah ;-) [14:51] yeats - No - i installed it side by side - dual boot - not as a software inside windows [14:52] snimavat: okay - just ruling that out [14:52] yeats - what has gone wrong ? what can i do now ? [14:52] Whats your problem ? [14:53] snimavat, it seems that the windows boot loader might. What option did you choose when it ask prompts you to select to install grub(on mbr / the partition) [14:54] helo [14:54] snimavat: see if this thread helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1606823 [14:54] hello [14:54] rasterizer_ it did not ask any thing such, just asked for install side by side windows and resize partition thts all [14:56] hi, does anyone know if latest ubuntu-core supports ARM 11 MP ? === giedz is now known as lucious77 [14:57] giedz, I believe not, Debian does though [14:57] yeats thanks but that looks different, that guy seems to have issue because of two hdd [14:57] rasterizer_ how do i do recovery using windows CD ? === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [14:58] i mean will that keep ubuntu working.. or what ? any steps [14:58] snimavat, try google "how to recover windows 7 after installing ubuntu " [14:58] Hello [14:59] Do i have to restart the server when i put something newi nto /etc/init.d/ ? [15:00] I don`t thing so. [15:00] I have weird issue. After upgrade to oneiric on 64bit arch I have displayed packages from i386 arch as well (in format pkgname:i386). How to get rid of them? [15:01] any ideas? [15:01] snimavat, that should keep ubuntu working as long as it is not using one of the partitions required by windows7 [15:01] Does Ubuntu suport alienware? [15:02] Skew-_^: I don't see why it wouldn't. It's just a PC...expensive PC, but still just a PC [15:02] yeah [15:02] it's just a beefed up dell [15:02] rasterizer_ ok, i m googling [15:03] what is missing in ubuntu-core to support ARM 11 MP if Debian does? [15:03] vpelcak, which install iso did you use? [15:03] I have my init script for nginx under /etc/init.d/ but when i try to run "sudo /etc/init.d/nginx" it says "sudo: /etc/init.d/nginx: command not found" [15:04] rasterizer_: That was upgrade. I don't recall details, but there is some script like do-dist-upgrade or something like that [15:04] drale2k: are you sure it has execution bit set? [15:04] this is awesome http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/en/ [15:04] drale2k: you shouldn't call those scripts directly anyway but instead use the « service » command [15:05] vpelcak, that right. was your initial installation was a x86_64 bit base distro and then you did the upgrade [15:05] jrib: service nginx tells me "nginx: unrecognized service" [15:05] heh, ok, I solved my automount woes. The other device (n900) was mounting its disk itself because I had an ebook reader open. :) The other device refuses to mount usb mass storage anyway. [15:06] rasterizer_: Yes. I also briefly checked repos and didn't found any where was 32bit specified to be used (if it is even possible) [15:06] drale2k: it would be « sudo service nginx start » (or stop, or restart, or whatever). Did you create this script? How did this script come to be? [15:06] what kernels do you see when you boot, if you did upgrade it might show different kernel versions [15:07] jrib: i got it via "wget" and checked the paths, they are correct for me [15:07] drale2k: how did you install nginx? [15:07] jrib: via "passenger", it installs nginix for Ruby on Rails [15:07] rasterizer_: Linux triarius 3.0.0-15-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 2 17:44:42 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [15:07] drale2k: why aren't you using APT? [15:08] I've installed latest kernel, but didn't reboot to it, yet. [15:08] jrib: because this does the config for rails and ruby automatically :( [15:08] jrib: and everything works only the service not [15:08] jrib: i can start nginx by calling /opt/nginx/sbin/nginix [15:08] drale2k: use apt, it will have a proper working init script [15:09] Perhaps it is synaptic bug [15:09] I don't see this in aptitude [15:09] drale2k: remove your current nginx install and your existing /etc/init.d/nginx script first [15:09] i think like dr_willis told me, i broke unity [15:09] i cant see close, minimise buttons on terminal [15:09] I broke once unity [15:09] and minimized applications [15:09] LukeNukem, good for you, now you can finally switch to a sensible DE [15:10] i cant see panel on them either. [15:10] everytime i click at dash or anything on unity auto logout [15:10] Stereocaulon, like? [15:10] The only way to solve this problem [15:10] is ...... [15:10] reinstall :) [15:10] LukeNukem, XFCE, LXDE, OPenbox, Fluxbox, take a pick... [15:10] :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo [15:10] Stereocaulon, Gnome? [15:10] or sudo apt-get install lubuntu-dekstop [15:10] and switch to kde [15:10] ;) [15:10] LukeNukem, don't make me laugh... [15:11] oh, i remember.. [15:11] Unity is the shell [15:11] so XFCE must be shell [15:11] but ive seen some stuff on google like XFCE vs Gnome, so i thought it would be something like GNOME [15:11] dak0, but isn't that another OS [15:11] LukeNukem, actually Unity is an extension of Gnome3 and XFCE can be seen as a Gnome-Light and LXDE even more. [15:12] hi. i've a notebook with two graphic cards, a intel and a nvidia, I'm having a hard time to set them up. I would like to know if is it possible to disable the intel card, and just use the nvidia one? [15:12] Stereocaulon, how would i install XFCE, or anything better? something that looks good ;) [15:12] rasterizer_: It looks like problem iin package management itself, not in kernel level. aptitude displays packages twice, synaptic adds i386 indicator [15:12] LukeNukem, just install the xubuntu-desktop package. [15:12] I like Unity more each day [15:13] analyser, you have an Optimus ? [15:13] Stereocaulon, how big is it [15:13] OerHeks: yes, but it's not working properly. [15:13] Just do it 100-200mb's [15:13] LukeNukem, depends on how many libraries you have already loaded, most of is actually shared with Gnome [15:13] analyser, check bumblebee > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee and the #Bumblebee channel [15:13] lukenukem [15:13] btw how do i start shell in ubuntu 11 ? [15:13] LukeNukem, if you want to save some bandwidth use the --no-install-recommends option [15:14] where are all the menus gone ? [15:14] Where's terminal ? [15:14] ctrl+alt+t [15:14] snimavat, ctrl + alt + T [15:14] Is there a way to pull a proxy over specific mac addresses via my router? E.G Block select sites to a single computer. #networking seems to be dead [15:14] OerHeks: I'll check that again, although, I'd rather prefer just disable the intel card and use nvidia all the time, if this were possible, ofcourse. [15:14] thnx [15:15] anybody playing PokerTH? [15:15] analyser, i think it is possible, with the switcher... but i do not own a Optimus, just interested. [15:15] snimavat, hit windows key or click the dash icon top left, start typing terminal. [15:15] hi [15:15] Hi, is it possible to install ubuntu-mono fonts on natty? [15:16] :-& [15:16] mongy, what difference does it make o.o [15:16] OerHeks: I'll give this a last shot, and then I come back to tell my results [15:16] Stereocaulon, isn't xubuntu, lubuntu etc another operating system, i would be changing my OS then [15:17] analyser, the nvidia card will drain your battery a lot quicker, so permanently disabling the intel igp may not be what you want [15:17] I have just succesfully installed ubuntu on a samsung np-nc10, but when I rebooted it, I get a black screen with blinking cursor, what does it mean ? [15:17] LukeNukem, will miss out applications that come with default desktop install, so if you already have gedit installed for instance, it wont download leafpad, the xfce text editor.. etc [15:17] LukeNukem, no they are not, it's all Ubuntu, just with another Desktop Environment [15:18] LukeNukem, they are called meta-packages, actually a set of packages. [15:18] !metapackage [15:18] A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [15:19] Stereocaulon, cant i just install XFCE [15:20] acicula: that's true, however as I work always with the computer plugged into the wall it's not a big deal. [15:20] LukeNukem, but the Xubuntu package takes care of a smooth transition. You can always choose another DE from the startup menu [15:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1917087 [15:21] jrib, rkmiec: rkmiec was right about the execution, "chmod +x" has done it [15:21] Stereocaulon, ok so whats the best DE to install [15:21] thanks [15:22] LukeNukem, that's up to you to decide. XFCE looks the most like Gnome2 minus the top bar. [15:22] * dsf4r4 waves hi [15:23] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1917087 [15:23] Stereocaulon, what about GNOME 3 [15:23] http://lifehacker.com/5853099/linux-desktop-faceoff-gnome-3-vs-ubuntu-unity [15:24] dak0: is your question how to install PokerTH? why not just "sudo apt-get install pokerth"? === rkmiec is now known as robert-km [15:25] LukeNukem, you can install and remove them at your leisure. or why not just try them in a vmeware/virtualbox vm [15:25] wmare* [15:25] arg, nevermind. [15:25] LukeNukem, I don't like it, but you can decide for yourself. I chose LXDE, because I want my desktop to be lean and mean, but usable nonetheless. [15:25] LjL does that download lastest version ? [15:26] dak0: no, it downloads the version provided with your Ubuntu release. is there a reason why you need to use the latest version? [15:26] Yes, to play online [15:26] dak0, sure it does, the latest version included in the software sources you have selected. [15:26] Stereocaulon, ok the article says just go to ubuntu center and install Gnone 3 [15:27] I have problem with authenticating LDAP user in apache on group basis.

[16:58] popey, currently we are using our isp:s dns server at home, this means that the dhcp is handing out the dns address for our isp. If i run a dns server locally, how will it work? [16:58] Right I've been directed here by one of my more computer-competent friends to ask well, anybody here for help. [16:58] im sorry if i go into network talk here but i might need some refreshing on memorizing all of this again [16:59] question- my dmesg logs are being cut-off, on every boot the beginning parts are missing, how is that fixable? [16:59] alexxx: irc'ing as root is a bad idea 󠁟 [16:59] Viliny: as long as your bind9 knows the current root server list, it should just work [16:59] Gnea: the opendns server _will just work_ when swapped to ? [17:00] reading up on bind9... [17:00] waiting for bind10 󠁟 [17:00] lol 󠁟 [17:00] so dns uses bind9 to query hostnames for ips? [17:00] :) 󠁟 [17:00] Viliny: well, installing bind9 locally will give you a dns server on your gateway/fw/whatever you're using to connect with [17:00] Viliny: bind9 *is* a dns server [17:00] Lynette: you'll need to describe your problem to get help [17:00] !info bind9 [17:00] bind9 (source: bind9): Internet Domain Name Server.

[17:01] that is unfriendly, friend 󠁟 [17:01] Viliny: it's basically what the root dns servers use [17:01] i checked my xchat settings 󠁟 [17:01] Gnea: this would then be instead of opendns? [17:01] i don't see anything 󠁟 [17:01] cant he just have a weird encoding set thats messing it up? [17:01] Question (make the answer easy, I'm rubbish with computers): Say I wanted to play a game for Windows 95 on Ubuntu using Wine or PlayOnLinux, and then during the installation the game asks me to enable Audio Compression on Windows 95, (despite the fact that I'm running it on either PlayOnLinux or Wine), How would I go about doing this [17:01] can anyone help? 󠁟 [17:01] Gnea: im getting a little confused on the construction here, which components do i need? [17:01] Viliny: i am not suggesting you setup a dns server, but that you point your /etc/resolv.conf on your server at opendns [17:02] auronandace: that's why the quesiton took so long :) [17:02] Hey, witch Linux distro you'll recommend for a cyber club (internet cafe) ? [17:02] Lynette: thats more of a wine question, ask in #winehq [17:02] ah okay [17:02] thanks [17:02] Viliny: I don't see any reason to not use opendns... but from what I've read of your plight so far, you're trying to set it up so that social networking sites are blocked locally for a temporary amount of time? [17:02] dak0: losethos 󠁟 [17:02] yarak, whats that ? [17:03] Gnea: exactly [17:03] yarak: try #xchat [17:03] dak0: if you are in the ubuntu channel, what suggestion do you expect¿ [17:03] but xchat is part of ubuntu 󠁟 [17:03] dak0 linux mint seems to be friendly on windows users. [17:03] I just got a 2nd hand computer with a broken CD drive. I don't have a spare CD drive. Can I put its hard drive in my good computer, install ubuntu on there, then put it back in? I.e. is it smart enough to detect the changed hardware and load the appropriate drivers when I put it back [17:03] yarak: it's a specific program, so you need to get specific help, which we don't necessarily provide here [17:03] Viliny, thanks for your reply. [17:04] dak0: no worries, now do mind the fact that this is #ubuntu ;) [17:04] Viliny: why not block the sites through your hosts file? [17:04] Viliny: are you using squid? [17:04] metasansana im open for all suggestions [17:04] Viliny: I can`t see why we shoudlnt talk about others distros they are all unix based === ai6pg is now known as CancelBot [17:04] Gnea: not at the moment no, used to use it on my old server [17:04] like Ubuntu [17:04] dak0: it's like religions [17:04] dak0: you might get a more neutral answer in ##linux [17:04] :D [17:05] Thank you, auronandace [17:05] dak0: just not in #ubuntu, which is specifically for ubuntu...like the name says === quiesense is now known as quiescens [17:05] Put a line like 127.0.0.1 facebook.com in your hosts file [17:05] Okey sorry guys. [17:05] dak0: linux is actually built upon ubuntu which is built upon debian and so forth... as far as i know. But it's not ok to discuss other than ubuntu specific stuff here. [17:05] dak0: the channel is ubuntu support only, there is #linux where all distros are discussed [17:05] linux mint* [17:05] Viliny: or do like metasansana suggested... much easier [17:05] I do that with my debian router :) [17:05] Viliny: linux built on ubuntu? you sure [17:05] Gnea: gladly, where do i look for the hosts file? [17:05] dak0: Ii have similar problems when #ubuntu is the only active channel with people who probably know the answer to my question [17:05] ActionParsnip: i ment linux mint [17:05] Viliny: /etc/hosts [17:05] /etc/hosts Viliny [17:05] Viliny: ;) [17:06] ;p [17:06] thank you people [17:06] so let me rephrase: Can I install Ubuntu for another computer by putting its hard drive into this one? Will that work OK? [17:06] andai: sure [17:06] [question] while configuring Network Proxy in System settings, there is no option to give user+pass. IIRC, older ubuntu used to have a small button titled 'Authenticate'. [17:06] andai: yes [17:06] ActionParsnip: Great. Thanks. [17:06] andai: just get it setup then after the first reboot, transfer the drive [17:07] andai: ubuntu seems to have very little problems when switching hardware... etc computer to computer. but have noticed third party graphics drivers for cards like nvidia might take offense [17:07] why was it removed? [17:08] dsf4r4: might want to report a bug [17:08] dsf4r4: are there any bugs reported? [17:08] Gnea, ActionParsnip, Viliny: Thanks! :) [17:08] is there an easy way to get the diff of two deb-files?

[17:10] dsf4r4: see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646354 [17:10] Gnome bug 646354 in Network "Network proxy has no proxy authorization" [Normal,New] [17:10] * Gnea crosses his fingers and hopes that this upgrade to 10.10 will stop the computer from hardlocking when NetworkManager or wicd are run [17:10] umm, thanks ubottu (what is the point of that? :) [17:10] iceroot: nope, works for binaries here [17:11] LjL: ah great, thanks [17:11] ssta: thanks #for the link [17:11] iceroot: facing what? [17:11] ActionParsnip: the bug i posted [17:12] how do i change the standard torrent-program? there is no option at systempreferences > system info > default-applications [17:12] iceroot: not had that, only thing I get is gmail-notify makling the panel a mess. I have a script to kill th notifier and panl, thenrestart it then restart the notifier app [17:13] !default | greenit [17:13] greenit: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [17:13] is the hosts file realtime? i mean do i need to restart something after altering it? [17:13] Viliny: its realtime (no reboot) [17:13] Viliny: it's realtime [17:13] ActionParsnip: ah the "spaces" bug :) [17:13] awesome, thank you. [17:13] iceroot: yeah and half icons, stuff like that [17:13] Viliny: it is read on before each dns look up [17:13] Viliny: depending on the program [17:13] Viliny: e.g. apache needs a reload [17:13] LjL, ok, i did this, but firefox always asks to open the *.torrent-file with transmission instead of qbittorrent [17:13] iceroot: I'm half thinking of jumping to tint2 [17:14] why would apache need the hosts file? [17:14] eh nvm. [17:14] Viliny: to get the FQDN [17:14] greenit: uhm, i've had that sort of issue with firefox i think, i suspect it tends to ignore the defaults. not sure how to change that. [17:14] prob to get data from another server? [17:14] greenit: is the association set in firefox too? [17:14] ActionParsnip, nope, how do i do this? [17:14] greenit: you have to change it in firefox [17:14] Viliny: and that is done at start [17:14] pangolin, ok, how? [17:14] * Gnea frowns as he recovers from the hardlock problem just now that I was trying to avoid [17:14] greenit: let me take a look. [17:15] greenit: firefox prefs > applications and you will se a list in there you can edit [17:15] pangolin, ok, thx === CancelBot is now known as ai6pg [17:16] greenit: i believe its in tools -> prefs I haven't used firefox in ages. [17:17] has anyone ever encountered a problem where running NetworkManager or wicd causes the computer to completely freeze up? I have this happen on a consistent basis - the capslock and scroll-lock LEDs wind up blinking until I hit the reset button [17:17] pangolin, erm.... when i click "other application..." the filebrowser is opening... where do i have to go to find the right prog? [17:17] pangolin, in the filebrowser [17:18] Gnea: sounds hardware related === Guest6751 is now known as eGaMaL === crondd is now known as crond === eGaMaL is now known as eGam === eGam is now known as eGaMaL [17:18] damselfly9: what sucks is that I get absolutely no response in syslog about it, and sysrq is completely unresponsive [17:18] greenit: /usr/bin/transmission i believe [17:19] pangolin, ok, thx again^^ [17:19] damselfly9: it could be, but I solved some other hardware problems on this system over a year ago... perhaps it needs another bios update [17:19] Gnea, if it is hardware related and the system locks up, syslogd will never get the chance to write any error messages [17:19] damselfly9: yup [17:20] Hello. I have error on my notebook (lenovo ideapad) after installing 11.10: error: invalid arch independent elf magic. [17:20] I would like to follow this http://askubuntu.com/questions/72003/grub-invalid-arch-independent-elf-magic-after-11-10-install-on-macbook-pro-5 [17:20] Gnea: so altering my hosts file will also affect the clients in the local network? they don't bypass the servers hosts file? [17:20] but I also have windows so I don't know which partitions use in this commands [17:20] <__ale__> #ubuntu-it [17:20] Gnea, sounds like a net card that doesn't play nicely with the rest of the hardware [17:20] pangolin, yay, works with the /usr/bin/ file :) [17:20] could anybody give advice? === eman is now known as chipmonk [17:20] I could give my fdsisk list [17:21] Viliny: good point - yeah, I'd setup a squid server and have it act as a web-proxy [17:21] Gonna put ubuntu on my old computer ( 1GB ram ). Dual core ( AMD Athlon 3800+, 2.4GHz ) any reason to get 64 bit over 32 bit? [17:22] jNovice, do you have 2 linux-partitions (except swap), one for /boot and one for / ? [17:22] Gnea: is that difficult? [17:23] damselfly9: it's possible. it's got a wireless-usb type thing on there that shows up, but I have never gotten the wifi to work (it shows up as eth1) [17:23] greenit for ubuntu I have /, /home and swap [17:23] greenit boot device during installation was set to /dev/sda [17:23] damselfly9: oh, and the mac address is set to 00:00:00:00:00:01 [17:23] andai: not really, you only gots 1Gb RAM, you won't see much benefit. [17:24] Gnea, well that's definitely a wrong mac address [17:24] greenit: glad i could help. [17:24] andai: its more than most of my systems. RAM is cheap dude. I'd max out the board out [17:24] jNovice, ok, then just type in the first two and the last command, not the third [17:24] Gnea: how do i enforce local clients to go through the squid proxy? [17:24] damselfly9: I think you uncovered it.... wicd, at least, has been told that eth1 is the wireless interface, and even if it's in the 'down' position, it needs to check on it to get its settings [17:24] Gnea: redirect port 80 somehow or? [17:24] ActionParsnip: So install 64 bit and then get more ram? I haven't used ubuntu in a while, are all the things that used to be downsides to 64 bit sorted out? [17:25] jNovice, with changing sda3 to your / drive [17:25] Viliny: yeah, using iptables, you can do a forced web proxy [17:25] greenit I have ubuntu / on /dev/sda5 and /home on /dev/sda6. Windows bootloader is on sda1 and windows 7 on sda2 [17:25] hello [17:25] I have a problem with graphics LXDE ubuntu 11.10, when I open the browers epiphanym LibreOffice open simultaneously: by any chance know how to remove this problem? [17:25] andai: never had a 64bit Ubuntu 'issue', I'd always max the RAM on a board now, its cheap as chips [17:25] jNovice, ok, then the second command is sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [17:25] Viliny: problem is, I don't have a browser to use at the moment (I'm stuck in the terminal/console until I can get my own problem fixed) [17:26] giorgio85: what do you get onscreen? [17:26] !ics | Viliny [17:26] Viliny: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [17:26] !squid | Viliny [17:26] Viliny: squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [17:26] Viliny: one of those links might help [17:26] ActionParsnip: Thank you :) [17:26] Gnea: thank you [17:26] ActionParsnip, the home page of LibreOffice [17:27] greenit and third with sda6 ? [17:27] i have a problem with my monitor, it's giving me an "Out of Range" error and won't boot up. i understand this is because my resolution is too small, but it won't boot so i can adjust it. what do? === crondd is now known as crond [17:28] alden, do you know how to boot into grub/recovery mode [17:28] Cool, I can get 16 GB of ram. Are there any fun things to do with ridiculous amounts of ram? I also plan on getting SSD's ( 2, RAID 0 ). Could I load my entire boot partition into RAM and just run it there? [17:28] and now, I reboot [17:28] * Gnea crosses fingers [17:28] andai, VM's [17:28] nope, never had to before [17:28] dlentz: Aha! In that case, I have an excuse to upgrade my CPU as well :D [17:29] alden, hold shift after bios/post screen to get to the grub menu [17:29] (i think it's shift) === andy_ is now known as Guest67853 [17:29] giorgio85: if you close all libreoffice apps, rename ~/.libreoffice then rerun the app, is it ok? [17:30] ActionParsnip, only one way to find out! [17:30] dlentz: didn't work, BIOS screen? the first screen shows up with the eMachines logo, then it goes to Out of Range [17:30] andai: the OS will use it as disk cache and make the OS faster as you will use that instead of raw accessing the drives (slow) [17:30] Barbariandude: FIGHT!! [17:30] alden: what GPU do you use? [17:31] Barbariandude: are you from the UK? [17:31] ActionParsnip, yup [17:31] ActionParsnip: dont know what GPU is, i'm running natty narwhal [17:31] Barbariandude: just making sure you got the reference ;) [17:31] alden: the video chip? nvidia? Intel? ATi? [17:31] alden, graphical processing unit [17:31] what's the name for Ctrl+ C signal [17:31] is it SIGINT [17:31] greenit somethin wrong, I get something like this: mnt doesn't look like efi partition [17:31] good video editor for Ubuntu [17:31] alden, try again, hold shift earlier [17:32] SIGABRT/ [17:32] varun06: openshot [17:32] let me check [17:32] varun06, alternativeto.net is a good site for those sorts of questions [17:32] dlentz: seemed like it almost worked, but then it took me to Out of Range again [17:32] alden: or does the system have a make / model? [17:32] andai: there is really no advantage to first loading your boot partition into memory and then booting from there, you will still have to wait for stuff to be copied to the ramdisk [17:33] ActionParsnip: the chip is nvidia [17:34] can't seem to open gedit with root priviledges over my nomachine nx session. frustrating. [17:34] interesting... the wireless card still has an errornous mac address, but the hardlock problem no longer occurs... however, I no longer have X as it complains that /etc/gdm/custom.conf is not there [17:34] alden: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [17:34] Viliny: gksudo gedit not working? [17:34] nope [17:34] ActionParsnip: all i get is a little flash in the taskbar [17:34] ActionParsnip, If rinonimo. LibreOffice error tells me the file exists in the destination [17:34] Viliny: use: sudo nano /path/to/file then ;) [17:35] ActionParsnip: i'm new so you're going to have to hold my hand, how do i add that boot option [17:35] ActionParsnip: i was hoping to use gedit because i need to config squid.conf and it is quite large :p [17:35] giorgio85: what is making that message? [17:35] Viliny: nano will do it with ease [17:35] how do i search in nano [17:36] Viliny: just read the bottom, it tells you all of the functions.... like ^C means control-C [17:36] what does the ^ mean? [17:36] control [17:36] ah ffs, sorry [17:36] you know, the control key [17:36] :) [17:36] you JUST explained it. sorry im pretty stupid today [17:36] no worries [17:37] I'm on half a cup of coffee and no food yet [17:37] just reboot and STILL no gui [17:37] Viliny: CTRL+W [17:37] 2 slices of bread with eggs on top 12 hours ago and 2 cups of coffee and 2 batterys later :p [17:37] Viliny: 12 hours is a LONG time :) [17:37] Viliny: for (w)here, CTRL+C chows the cursor position [17:38] yes i know, need to do like... 6 reports for tuesday and i thought the office would be a good place to get things done. [17:38] hi i want to install ubuntu 10.04 lts. my comp is 64 bit,,,what's better 32 or 64 bit? tnx [17:38] ActionParsnip, I opened my home / . libreoffice and click on riname [17:38] Viliny: using nano also allows you to ditch stupid freenx and just use SSH, which is a TONNE sleeker and faster [17:38] ale_: 64-bit should work just fine [17:38] tnx [17:39] !amd64 | ale_ [17:39] ale_: AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64_Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [17:39] giorgio85: you need all the libreoffice apps closed and run: mv ~/.libreoffice ~/.libreoffice_old [17:39] giorgio85: then rerun the app, you will get vanilla settings [17:39] Viliny: 9 times in 10 you don't need freenx / vnxc / junk like that [17:39] i'm still waiting for instruction on how to boot into recovery mode [17:40] ale_: there is no universal better, choose what suits your hardware and needs [17:40] alden: hold shift at boot, if you then press E on the kernel, you can add the option I gacve [17:40] holding shift at boot does nothing [17:41] ActionParsnip: i know how most people feel and usually i do things via putty anyway, i just have some things i like to do via gui so i had this for backup. [17:41] !nvidia [17:41] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [17:42] * Gnea sighs and facepalms [17:42] !nomodeset | alden use this but use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 instead [17:42] alden use this but use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 instead: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [17:42] so what are the cool things is should do in Ubuntu [17:43] to make it awesome ;) [17:43] install gentoo [17:43] !behelpful | razorfish [17:43] razorfish: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful".

[17:43] razorfish, gentoo is another os ;\ [17:43] all, am need upgrade my ubuntu deskto to ubuntu server online that be ? [17:43] Gnea, if your solution for your eth1 broke X, maybe you could just set it's driver to never load? [17:43] yes but ubuntu can be the working system used to install it [17:43] i mean can i do that online [17:43] LukeNukem: depends what you use your OS for... [17:44] I wonder, can you do a chroot install of gentoo? [17:44] damselfly9: the nvidia driver never got built, this is a whole new problem [17:44] Music, browsing, movies and programming =) [17:44] LukeNukem: same OS, different distro. Both are linux ;) [17:44] LukeNukem: install build-essential and you will get an ANSI standard C compiler... [17:44] damselfly9: I go to install the nvidia-185 driver packages and it... never builds... [17:44] im new to Linux, most advise me to start in Ubuntu and then move onto ArchLinux [17:44] ActionParsnip, I gave into the terminal mv ~/.libreoffice ~/.libreoffice_old : but no solution [17:44] ActionParsnip, i do php programming..i use the netbeans ide [17:44] giorgio85: did anything output? [17:45] Gnea: why not install nvidia-current? [17:45] LukeNukem: well give more detail than 'programming' and we can advise better [17:45] Gnea, are you using the opensource nvidia driver or the proprietary one? [17:45] damselfly9: from the repository, I don't use from the website [17:46] damselfly9: but the propietary one [17:46] ActionParsnip, I closed my epiphany and LibreOffice [17:46] i know this is an ubuntu channel, but [17:46] ActionParsnip, like i said, i program in php. [17:46] damselfly9: taking a break for breakfast, be back in a bit :) [17:46] that might be why it can't build [17:46] has anyone used suse and how is it, if so [17:46] so i have installed apache [17:46] !ot | artichoku [17:46] artichoku: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[17:48] no [17:48] ActionParsnip, no [17:49] respond: the server is just the same OS without an X server and a slightly different kernel. You can add the boot option: text and the OS will boot to text mode only [17:49] LukeNukem: Empathy is the progam you're looking for [17:49] giorgio85: I suggest you report one === marius is now known as Guest23244 [17:50] giorgio85: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc please [17:50] ActionParsnip, so can i or posible or install ispconfig on my ubuntu am need make web hosting on my home pc [17:50] LukeNukem: the easy way: sudo apt-get install tasksel; sudo tasksel # pick the mail-server task.

Do some reading to find out how. [17:55] Barbariandude, my network at home ready can open my web server with my ip [17:56] but how can all people on www can open it to [17:56] Barbariandude, are i need register on dyndns.org [17:56] respond: set a dns-entry to your ip [17:56] Barbariandude, did you have some link like dyndns.org for free [17:56] hi all [17:56] respond, you need to find out your external ip address, and tell people to connect to that, you need dyndns if you have a dynamic, not static IP. [17:56] respond: normally done at a dns-prodiver [17:57] iceroot, what dns-prodiver [17:57] ActionParsnip, still equal [17:57] respond: the one you like most [17:57] whoever you buy the domain name from [17:57] respond: You need to buy a domain name from someone. [17:57] respond: if you want a real domain you have to contact a dns-provider [17:57] giorgio85: then its a bug with the app, not your settings [17:58] theadmin, and iceroot are we need setting some router at my home ? [17:58] ok thanks [17:58] ActionParsnip, ok thanks [17:58] respond, most routers, yes you do. You need to allow incoming connections to go to your computer. Exactly how to do that depends on the router. [17:59] hi all. a very trivial question maybe [17:59] respond: Yes, configure port-forwarding or DMZ. [17:59] subb1: Just ask it [17:59] i already have tomboy and stickynotes. But when started they lie along the taskbar with other open windows. Is there any other desktopnote prog that only lies in notification area or not even there ( runs in background) ? [17:59] hi all. thanks for being here. I am a very new beginner. By lurking her I lerned how to change the desktop environment. it really makes my old laptop faster. [17:59] here [17:59] sharkmap, you got lubuntu? [18:00] yeah. 10.04 [18:00] Barbariandude, theadmin my internet provaider give my dinamic ip not statick tat can be used dmz [18:00] no, just regular ubuntu [18:00] subb1: install alltray [18:00] lol. [18:00] respond: That can be used with your router, sure, but you'll need a Dynamic DNS provider which is not an easy find. [18:00] but i put lxde on it, is that lubuntu? [18:00] its xubuntu [18:00] DNS provider what you recomend for me theadmin [18:00] i thing, [18:00] lxde is Lubuntu [18:00] sharkmap, if you have an old laptop and you want a light DE, give lubuntu a try live off a usb and see if it's faster, it probably will be [18:01] respond: None really... Well, I myself use http://dnsexit.com but that's all up to you anyway [18:01] pangolin: its used in lubuntu, lxde is lxde and nothing more [18:01] ActionParsnip: right, for simplicity I stayed vague [18:01] you can install lxde without installing lubuntu... === marco is now known as Guest38374 [18:01] no need to reinstall just to get lcde [18:01] subb1: like a daemon notes app? how would you post new notes without a UI? [18:01] what is lubuntu? [18:01] s/lcde/lxde/ [18:01] ActionParsnip: but i get your point. i'll be more clear in the future :) [18:01] !lubuntu | sharkmap [18:01] sharkmap: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [18:01] i installed ubuntu server i wanted to give only shutdown rights to normal user so help me on this [18:02] very new here <__ === s9iper1 is now known as bil21al [18:02] pangolin, with this i can move the present notes to notif. area? is that the trick? [18:02] sharkmap: it's like Ubuntu, but has lxde as the default environment [18:02] sharkmap: its the ubuntu OS but uses LXDE and openbox instead of gnome and compiz. It uses a fraction of the resources of gnome based ubuntu. [18:02] ActionParsnip, hi... i want a gui on desktop :) [18:02] Why do you guys reply to sharkmap like mad ? [18:02] dhanu: Add this to sudoers: username ALL=/sbin/shutdown, /sbin/poweroff, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/halt [18:02] :D [18:02] ssta, is that the only difference? I thought the default programs were also switched around to utilize LXDE better [18:02] greets all [18:02] subb1: correct, you run alltray and then can select what apps you want sent to notification area [18:02] so if I installed regular ubuntu then installed th lxde de, is it lubuntu? I am confused [18:03] sharkmap: it also uses lighter apps, so instead of libreoffice, it uses abiword and gnumeric. The other apps are obviously available but the defaults are light and fast [18:03] sharkmap: No, not the same, but close enough :D [18:03] what are the chances someone here has any experience with wimax under ubuntu 11.10? [18:03] pangolin, wow. thanks. let me try .. :) [18:03] theadmin, am used fonera router this manual http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/F2_webserver what i must do ? [18:03] subb1: then install an ubuntu with a desktop and not the server release.. [18:03] cool. new stuff to learn ecvery day [18:03] sharkmap, it also has slightly different default programs, to use less resources. Using ubuntu with LXDE should be enough though [18:03] sharkmap rather download lubuntu [18:03] respond: I'm not familiar with your router, sorry. [18:03] darn keyboard [18:03] respond: Figure it out yourself or contact the manufacturer's support, that's got nothing to do with Ubuntu [18:03] theadmin, what you reouter [18:04] respond: I use D-Link DIR-320 with DD-WRT on it. [18:04] I'm trying to get a network bridge setup for KVM and I'm having difficulties getting it working. Could somebody help me with that? [18:04] i have a very a very old laptop so any speed improvement will help [18:04] theadmin, what alse we need configuration for own ubuntu [18:04] sharkmap [18:04] respond, before you put in too much effort, see if your isp will allow you to run servers. some isps prevent it from working at all [18:04] you should try with damnsmalllinux [18:04] DSL [18:05] ActionParsnip, oh no. think you got me wrong. I have ubuntu with gnome :) all i wanted was the sticky note to NOT lie in the task bar with other open windows. Its UI should def be on the desktop :) [18:05] dak0: ew, don't suggest something that doesn't even work. Archbang ftw :P [18:05] respond http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-your-own-distributable-ubuntu-dvd-relinux [18:05] ha damn small linux. I love these names [18:05] damselfly9, i thinks my isp allow for run server at my pc home [18:05] MonkeyDust, thanks i will try [18:05] Who said DSL dosent work ? [18:05] sharkmap, look up suicide linux. Most evil distro ever. [18:05] works on 16mb of ram [18:05] i figured it was a longshot, but I would love to get my Sprint 4G working under ubuntu [18:05] 3G works, though its incredibly slow [18:06] MonkeyDust, you miss give me link that for make distro [18:06] MonkeyDust, am need make home server at my home with ubuntu 10.04 [18:06] too many choicees. I think I'll stay with lxde and see how it goes [18:06] but wimax in linux still seems to be a bit unique === sitic is now known as sitic|adk === sitic|adk is now known as sitic|afk [18:06] i had the laptop running overnight, and it didn't overheat or show any errors, so I think Im ok there. [18:08] sharkmap, thing to remember about linux + all the distros is it's 90% about personal choice/preference. Figure out what you like, what you don't like :) [18:08] damselfly9: so I discovered a zero-length nvidia-current.ko file [18:08] anyone have any experience at all with wimax in Ubuntu?

[18:08] Gnea, that would tend to imply to stopped building due to an error [18:08] got it [18:09] seems like I jumped in the deep end. need to go back to the wading pool for a bit to get my bearings [18:09] :P [18:09] pri0n, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1817211 might be some help. first page I googled [18:09] damselfly9: yes. so, got it rebuilt.... but now there's still no nvidia.ko anywhere [18:09] i'm actually having difificulty putting this in the form of a reasonable question... [18:09] Gnea: try the xorg edgers less fresh ppa, gives the 290 driver [18:10] hey guys i love ubuntu [18:10] WhyWhyWhy: glad you are enjoying it [18:10] sometimes i wish ubuntu was my girlfriend [18:10] Gnea, don't know. I use an old matrox [18:11] ActionParsnip: well I'm currently on a freshly updated 10.10 from 10.04 install (amd64), so maybe just proceeding to 11.04 would be a better plan [18:11] WhyWhyWhy, just get her instead: https://www.youtube.com/user/nixiedoeslinux [18:11] can ubuntu be installed on a thumb drive so that then entire install is portable? or will it only work as a live install? [18:11] Barbariandude: please don't post offtopic content here, thanks [18:11] Gnea: maverick is EOL in april so I wouldn't waste any time on it personally [18:12] ohhh yeaaa [18:12] sharkmap, it certainly can. Get unetbootin.sourceforge.net and install the live version on a usb [18:12] oCean, sorry :) [18:12] damselfly9, ActionParsnip: I ran this and it seemed to get the zero-length driver taken care of: for i in `dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep nvidia | awk '{print $2}'`; do j=`echo $i`; dpkg-reconfigure "$j"; done [18:12] Gnea: sweet, I see what you did there :) [18:12] barbariandude: thanks. whats the smallest size drive I can use?

[18:18] ok so when im at the destop and i start typing for no reason a little white text box apears in the bottum right hand corner what is this for [18:18] LukeNukem: if its pirate stuff then thats noot allowed in here [18:18] i doubt :) [18:19] LukeNukem, you could always be legit and download tons of CC music from jamendo.com [18:19] cmon i just want to download music using an application on ubuntu [18:19] i thought you guys supported 'free' [18:19] or go to the shop and buy music, or am i being old now? [18:19] LukeNukem: 'free' is a relative term. [18:20] LukeNukem: depends from where, you could use a browser, or a torrent client for torrents [18:20] MonkeyDust, i do not have that kind of money.. [18:20] Gentoo64, something like limewire or the old napster [18:20] LikeNukem, free jsut means the code is free not free as doesnt cost anything [18:20] LukeNukem: linux has frostwire [18:20] nice [18:20] LukeNukem, your options are transmission for torrents, youtube-dl for commandline downloading of videos from youtube, or jamendo.com for music in the creative commons. [18:21] LukeNukem: http://www.legittorrents.info/ [18:21] LikeNukem, like you can take most of the aplications and tweak them to ur liking or improve them urself or jsut create ur own desktop enviroment [18:21] LukeNukem: we do, free and legal [18:21] there is 'free legal music :P' anyways ima try jamendo [18:21] MonkeyDust: I go to gigs and get given TDK disks a lot [18:22] LukeNukem: yes, check the link I gave [18:22] ActionParsnip: might have a problem... I went to interrupt the do-release-upgrade thing because I wanted to check something really quick (it was at the point where it asked if I wanted to continue or not, so I said no) and it left my sources.list in the new state and didn't go back to the maverick state... I re-ran it and now it's stuck "calculating the changes" [18:22] Gnea: may need to run: sudo apt-get -f install instead [18:23] Barbariandude: I think if you install the lubuntu-desktop package you get all that... [18:23] Barbariandude: I might be incorrect though [18:23] ssta, fair enough. And now I know :) [18:23] ActionParsnip: but the sources.list is saying it's set for 'natty' and natty isn't installed yet. [18:24] Gnea you want to swtich from Ubuntu to lubuntu ? [18:24] ActionParsnip: and I can't find the maverick sources.list file in /etc//apt/ anywhere [18:24] dak0: pardon? [18:24] Gnea, the question is clear enough ? [18:24] dak0: yes, but it was quite irrelevent. [18:24] dak0: in short, no. [18:25] Gnea: could try a normal upgrade then should do it [18:26] I have a keyboard and some of the keys show up as /dev/input/event3 while the keyboard is /dev/input/event2. How do I make the system recognize the keys on /dev/input/event3? [18:26] ActionParsnip: nevermind, it was just taking its sweet time doing the calculations... I usually get a bit more pep out of this dualcore p4 3ghz [18:26] Gnea: I think do-release-upgrade keeps a copy of the old sources.list somewhere (probably named something like sources.list.backup or something) [18:26] Gnea: yeah, p4 is sweet too [18:26] These keys are hotkeys and about half of them aren't recognized because they show up as a different event [18:26] ssta: that's what I thought, too.... the only backups were for lucid. [18:27] Gnea: you should be safe enough to just edit sources.list back to maverick and go from there... [18:27] well, the upgrade process is now underway [18:27] ssta: I doubt it, it seems to have sorted itself out :) [18:28] ssta: it just took longer than I expected it to [18:28] since I'm in console and not X, there's not much in the way of letting me know when something's happening [18:28] Gnea: excellent. Good luck :) [18:28] ssta: thank you :) [18:29] is there a readymade free solution to be a webhost. i have a server but i dont have software installed to manage accounts and give them cpanel type of thing or manage their bandwith , give them stats. etc. [18:29] ? [18:30] nancy--: there's a project called "freepanel". I don't know if it's still active or not though [18:30] nancy--, see if there's a module for drupal that does what you want. drupal.org and #drupal [18:31] Barbariandude, i thought drupal was for bloging only [18:32] ssta, ok [18:32] https://erespond.mooo.com ? did you can see my home page ? [18:32] nancy--, no, it's very versatile. There are community-made modules to alter the functionality in drastic ways, to turn it into pretty much anything [18:32] Could someone help me figure out how to get bridged networking working on ubuntu? [18:32] !ics | sirninja [18:32] sirninja: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [18:32] https://erespond.mooo.com ? did you can see my home page ? am have put ubuntu tutorial from me on that di you can see that ? [18:33] ics and bridging aren't the same if it's the bridging i'm thinking of.. [18:33] nancy--: also, plesk is fairly common these days...and it's not all that expensive [18:33] ActionParsnip: I'm wanting to use it with KVM, so would that still be the same set of instructions? === arif-ali_ is now known as arif-ali [18:33] respond, nope [18:33] sirninja: are you trying to bridge wireless with you kvm or an ethernet? [18:34] hi [18:34] Barbariandude, what a error [18:34] zykotick9: ethernet. And it seems to work on the guest end, but I get about 90% packet loss on the host for some reason [18:34] ActionParsnip, thank you for the tip on looking up via hex ID as it was exactly what i needed to find a great lead [18:34] sirninja: it uses a bridged connection afair [18:35] how come when i try to install java runtime, it never works? [18:35] pri0n: yeah don't get hung up on makes and models in Linux, it means very little. The ID your OS sees is what you need [18:35] Hi, in the instructions for a programming exercise they are using the command "2" to combine two applications, what's the package for this application called? Example: 2 "tsim Lab1.map" "java Lab1 10 5" [18:35] respond, unable to connect. If you just got that domain name now, it's gonna take up to 24 hours to propagate [18:35] sirninja: i don't have N-M installed, so i just replaced the eth with br in /etc/interfaces (there are additional setting to obviously) [18:35] jeremiah_: how are you installing it? [18:35] ActionParsnip: no it doesn't. Bridging is quite different to NAT [18:35] i type the command into the terminal [18:36] sbsin: What does "combine two applications" mean? That doesn't make much sense. [18:36] Barbariandude, am have ready register on free dns [18:36] Hello everyone! I am having some trouble with NFS (versions 4) on Ubuntu (10.04). I have mounted an external drive (NAS) with nfs. It workes fine with small files. But when I try to copy large files (for instance 1 Gb) some things go wrong. The first thing I notice is that de progress-bar of Nautilus starts at approximately 50%. While the file is being copied, the progress bar does not progress. When the copying is finished, I get an error, [18:36] ssta, isnt there an A to Z solution. from the site, ordering to cpanel. ? [18:36] am used domain for access my home page [18:36] am have foarward my ip [18:36] 192.168.10.1 to that domain [18:36] theadmin: sorry, join input/output. [18:36] am have foarword to my publick ip to that domain [18:36] nancy--: I'm not sure what you are asking, sorry. Try rephrasing it maybe? [18:36] ssta: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058695 [18:36] and what you can see... [18:36] Why is window dragging significantly laggier when having multiple applications in the background? There is plenty of ram left. [18:37] respond, that's your internal IP address, which is different from the external IP that the internet sees. [18:37] zykotick9: Any idea what could cause such packet loss on the host, yet have the guest working perfectly fine? [18:37] sbsin: Oh... I'm not sure then, sorry [18:37] Karmaon: is it ok in Unity2D (I assume Gnome desktop with Unity shel) [18:37] sirninja: no idea at all, if you don't get assistance here, perhaps you could try #kvm channel? [18:37] ssta, there are ready made shoping cart sites . easy to install e.g opencart and ecommerce. is there a ready made solution for creating a webhost. that starts from ordering and ends to control panel ? [18:37] ok so the "activities" thing is back, and i think i REALLY like it, except... how can i have more than one window up [18:37] ActionParsnip: I'd have to check [18:37] ActionParsnip: and? [18:38] Barbariandude, what trouble again [18:38] and my minimize/maximize buttons are gon on the titlebar [18:38] nancy--: oh. I don't know of one, no [18:38] respond, this is what the DNS services say your hosts IP address is, is this correct? 180.251.5.170 [18:38] hey so im experiancing a weird issue, if i disconnect my cat5 connection on my acer one, it freezes and on every boot up it will eventually freeze unless that hard line is there [18:38] artichoku: welcome to gnome3 ;) [18:38] nancy--: well, not a free one. [18:38] when i do it, i end up getting a abiword with a code in it. I put that in the terminal, and i get another abiword. === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [18:38] ssta: and what? [18:38] Karmaon: Its not about ram, but cpu and gpu [18:38] nancy--: Plesk is kind of that, but it costs (although it's not too expensive) [18:38] ssta: 'and?' isn't a question [18:38] and even though desktop cube and rotate cube are enabled, there is no rotation [18:38] I"m using winetricks to download ie6 but the site for the download is down, can't access in either terminal or a browser. Is there a way to change the link to a different upload of the same file? [18:39] correct :) [18:39] Barbariandude, that right [18:39] Because I even have the ie6 download file, and one made specifically for linux, but it's not working correctly [18:39] ActionParsnip: you posted me a link which had nothing to do with ICS...presumably in support of your assertion that ICS and bridging are the same thing. I was asking what your point was... [18:39] Silpelit: Why on earth do you need that? [18:39] so what do i do? [18:39] Silpelit: IE runs badly in wine. There is ies4linux but if you are testing websites for IE compatibility I suggest you run a virtualbox [18:39] have any ideas? [18:39] It's a dependancy thing, I have no plans on using ie at all [18:40] respond, that means that your router must be blocking connections (probably). You need to set up a DMZ or port forwarding. [18:40] Silpelit: and there was never a "ie6.. one made sepecicially for linux (sic)" [18:40] yes there is [18:40] sec [18:40] ssta: if you read the content, it actually shows you how to make a bridged connection in the interfaces file in /etc/networking [18:40] Hi. Any clue where Ubuntu stores the mapping for ethernet device to name (eg eth0) stuff? [18:40] Not a linux version, but a package that installs it easily [18:40] I've got 3 people respond and nothing regarding my question [18:40] yitz_: Not stored anywhere really. If you need to have a specific node for a specific device, write an udev rule. [18:41] ActionParsnip: yes, I see that. What does that have to do with ICS? [18:41] ssta, freepanel.org is no more . ispconfig is one . but is it like plesk ? http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-3/screenshots/ === HQRaja is now known as ChewsGumKicksBum [18:41] yitz_: see //etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [18:41] yitz_: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/red-hat-31/change-eth1-to-eth0-815620/ [18:41] Is there a way to change winetricks to download from a different location [18:41] nancy--: similar I guess, yes [18:41] ssta: I thought you wanted a bridged connection, is that not right? [18:41] Silpelit: running IE on gnu/linux has never worked well (regardless of versions). IE6 is way outdated at this point. Using a VM would probably work better for testing/etc. [18:41] theadmin: Meh. I got an image that got that info cached in it so eth0 is "taken" when I drop the image on a new machine. I want to clear that cached into so the device gets eth0 and not eth0_rename [18:41] Silpelit: Winetricks is a shellscript. [18:42] ActionParsnip: no, that was someone else...who you sent a link about ICS to. I was protesting that ICS and bridging are not the same thing [18:42] Silpelit: you could try teh #winehq channel? [18:42] how come when i try to install java runtime, it never works? [18:42] why ubuntu ask me for keyring every time I log in ? [18:42] zykotick9: Thank you very much! That's useful, I"ll do that now [18:43] rebe: you have autologin enabled, and it needs to unlock the wireless key(s). Disabling auto-login in one way to correct. [18:43] ssta: sorry, crossed wires [18:43] yitz_: you can edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to map your nic's mac address to eth0 [18:43] rebe: to unlock it, if you set a blank keyring it won't bother you [18:43] jeremiah_: how are you installing it? [18:44] oCean: I suppose. I was hoping I didn't have to manually shove MACs in on every node [18:44] i type the command into the terminal [18:44] jeremiah_: what command? [18:44] yitz_: if you empty the file in the master, then it will get repopulated in each node [18:44] Hi guys/gals. I am sure this is in the help files somewhere but how do I add (e.g. terminal application) to the dash launcher? Ta. [18:44] actionparsnipL how do I change that keyring to blank [18:44] ssta: Exactly what I'm looking for! The /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file? [18:45] martyn_t: you can make a .desktop file and put it in /usr/share/applications [18:45] something like sudo apt install java or something like that [18:45] how do I stop ubuntu from going to sleep after x minutes of inactivity? [18:45] jeremiah_: that won't work [18:45] yitz_: yes. I have a VM template that had that problem. Solution was to leave it as an empty file in the template and then the instances fill it up [18:45] jeremiah_: what is the output of: uname -a [18:45] well its not exact. [18:45] what? [18:45] ssta: Thanks. I love you! [18:45] jeremiah_: paste it to terminal and hit enter, what is output?

[18:50] could it be the screen saver -> lock screen that stops my music? [18:50] what do you mean? [18:51] ActionParsnip, ah, it's just a script to install it and not a pre-packaged product. nvm [18:51] jeremiah_: use your browser to view the script at http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/ [18:51] jeremiah_: copy the 2nd line and paste it to terminal, when it finishs copy line 3 and run that, and so on... [18:51] ActionParsnip, like the flashplugin-installer. [18:51] it does a better job of installing it though [18:51] jeremiah_: you don't put : http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/ in a terminal [18:51] mongy: the java license is a bit weird which is why its not in the ubuntu repos any more [18:52] so i.... [18:52] ActionParsnip: i believe mongy is trying to say it's a script to download from oracle, similar to how flashplugin-install works. [18:52] oh, I guess [18:52] Hi! What is the meta-package to install if I want to rebuild/reinstall my Ubuntu for "missing" or "corrupted" drivers/files/etc? [18:53] markyxxxz: ubuntu-desktop i believe [18:53] That is, without touch the desktop. [18:53] touching* [18:53] largely, OpneJDK works for most things these days...and will become better [18:53] i got it [18:53] zykotick9: Hmmm.... [18:53] ssta: hope so :) [18:53] i got it. [18:54] jeremiah_: simples [18:54] zykotick9: Will it not install over my current and entire ubuntu? [18:54] ActionParsnip: Oracle are making it the reference implementation for JDK7 [18:54] I have a keyboard and some of the keys show up as /dev/input/event3 while the keyboard is /dev/input/event2. How do I make the system recognize the keys on /dev/input/event3? The keys show up in showkey but not xev [18:54] markyxxxz: maybe, but that's the main meta-package involved [18:54] t his will work on lubuntu right? [18:56] The keycodes are 418, 419, 442, 364, 466, 467, 468, 469, and 470 [18:56] markyxxxz: unless you went to great lengths to removing something with a package manager, OR manually deleted stuff - then it's unlikely you're missing any packages from ubuntu-desktop (it's a hard meta-package to crack) [18:56] OKay what about if I want to rebuild/reinstall the entire Xserver thing only? Is it safe to assume that keyboard,mouse and touchpad is controlled by Xserver? [18:56] jeremiah_: works in any Linux distro you can name [18:56] im having so much trouble [18:56] good. [18:56] i was trying to enable my other monitor [18:56] it said i had to save my config file, and i did [18:57] now everything looks all forked up [18:58] zykotick9: The thing is I lost my keyboard and touchpad. I can regain the mouse (it's wireless) by pluggin-unpluggint it on GDM. That's about it. I do not understand how Ubuntu cannot make the keyboard and touchpad work. [18:58] markyxxxz: what is your real issue then? keyboard/mouse not working? [18:58] zykotick9: Note the keyboard is not really dead, a few laptop function keys work e.g. WIFI key still working, etc [18:58] The keys do work [18:58] Hey, I'm new to using ubuntu, I want to rename my Documents folder to documents so that it's easier to navigate through the terminal [18:59] I've tested them in MS windows [18:59] will renaming it cause problems? [18:59] markyxxxz: sorry, i don't have any real suggestions for you. reinstalling xorg (or anything else for that matter) is unlikely to sove the issue though. [18:59] zykotick9: yes. It has to be the X. That's the only thing I figure the damned ATI drivers wrote over and corrupted. [18:59] Girffe: it's probably NOT worth the effort, get used to upper and lower case ;) [19:00] markyxxxz: ATI - i'm out. best of luck. [19:00] Hey all, probably an easy question, but I am stuck in a command on the command line and I don't know how to exit out of a command process without restarting terminal [19:00] nicl: Ctrl+C [19:00] on step 6 i got rm: cannot remove `./jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz': No such file or directory [19:00] Okay what drives the keyboard and mouse? Anybody can point me somewhere? [19:00] zykotick9: BTW, thanks :D [19:00] rcmaehl: ah great! That is exactly what I needed :) thanks [19:01] clear [19:01] Yeah, it's just that using the terminal is really nice for a lot of things over using the file browser, and doing small things like that make it a lot faster to navigate [19:01] what are the most famous control panels for web hosting ? [19:01] I just realized I can make a different folder anyway though, just going to use a separate folder called docs [19:01] cheers [19:01] markyxxxz: keyboard/mouse is controlled by Xorg, you could check /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if it exists and/or has settings for you. [19:02] hey === gary is now known as Guest16203 [19:02] on step 6 i got rm: cannot remove `./jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz': No such file or directory [19:03] zykotick9: LOL I"m going around in circles here. :) In my substantial years of using Linux, I've never lost a keyboard or mouse, except when i PHYSICALLY pulled on the cable or tripped on it with my foot. :D LOL === Guest16203 is now known as game16 [19:03] where is the trash in ubuntu 11.10 i took off unity and put gnome classic on [19:04] on step 6 i got rm: cannot remove `./jdk-7u2-linux-i586.tar.gz': No such file or directory [19:04] jeremiah_: no problem, you can just remove it yourself later, did the file download ok? [19:04] markyxxxz: synaptics? foro synaptic touchpads of course [19:05] jeremiah_: no need to repeat, I saw the first time... [19:05] am install timeviewer after am put root password no respond anythinks [19:05] why [19:05] yes and ok [19:05] Anyone have any good guides somewhere on how to force local clients to use the servers squid proxy? [19:05] respond: how are you installing timeviewer? [19:06] hydrox24, yes [19:06] hydrox24, am download .deb and double click on it [19:07] can sometbody tell me wheres the recycling bin in ubuntu 11.04 gnome [19:07] respond: is it really "timeviewer" (or teamviewer) [19:07] hydrox24: what about synaptics? [19:07] 11.10 [19:07] ok, and nothing happens after you enter your password? I suggest you try using the command line package as that will be more liekly to give us errors so we can debug. [19:07] hai [19:07] !trash | mystik [19:07] mystik: Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device.

[19:08] zykotick9, sorry miss type [19:08] thank u === miro_ is now known as shisha42 [19:08] zykotick9, thanks [19:08] roger roger over [19:08] computer overload sir [19:08] Barbariandude, did hare ? [19:09] No, i'm not getting a reading [19:09] any body can help how to run well teamviewer on my ubuntu? am have get .deb file of that [19:09] I can [19:09] what's your question? [19:09] ok i did it all now what? [19:10] Try clearing your cache. [19:10] markyxxxz: you really should be trying to get support here (as it's pretty ubuntu specific most likely). (if this started because of installing ATI, then perhaps if you moved /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup or something and restarted X, you might get your keyboard/mouse back, but loose 3d video) [19:10] respond: can you try using the command line (dpkg?) [19:11] zykotick9: xorg.conf is not present. I've purged all fglrx related files. [19:11] jeremiah_: did you selecthe java binary to be java for you? [19:11] hydrox24, r u talkign with me [19:11] what?! [19:11] Is anybody running a tproxy system using shorewall? [19:12] what does ... mean [19:12] in linux [19:12] jeremiah_: you will see a menu as part of the install asking you to choose the java binary [19:12] respond: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/12/teamviewer-7-beta-available-for-linux.html [19:12] What is the correct apt-get options to pull a package form the repos and overwrite everything on ones install? Do I have to purge first or I need to "install --reinstall"? [19:13] like if you manually do it or it does it for you? [19:13] mystik: . is present directory; .. up one level; ... i have no idea [19:14] I have had Ubuntu 10.04 onmy machine for a while and done all updates. but now my Grubloader has about 10 different kernel versions to boot. How do I uninstall the older kernels and free up some hard disk space and unclutter the Grub as well? [19:14] Ascavasaion: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" will list all your installed kernels, uninstall the ones you don't want (they'll automatically be removed from grub) [19:15] zykotick9: Thank you. [19:15] we have an issue with the system. [19:15] omg [19:15] Ascavasaion: You can do it easily on USC without fear of getting the wrong comand. Just as effective. [19:15] am I on #ubuntu [19:15] I need HELP [19:15] okay here [19:15] I have Windows 7 [19:15] Zepp_: what is the problem? [19:15] I installed ubuntu [19:16] !enter | Zepp_ [19:16] Zepp_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:16] Zepp_, Wrong room.... [19:16] qq [19:16] please refer me please [19:16] Zepp_: please be clear what the problem is first [19:16] I can't boot into Windows [19:16] it says [19:16] Error: No such partition [19:16] grub rescuer: _ [19:16] !enter > Zepp_ [19:16] Zepp_, please see my private message [19:16] Zepp_: did you delete the windows parition? === Mud is now known as Guest14919 [19:17] Zepp_: is that a problem ? ;-) [19:17] Zepp_, oops [19:17] ouch [19:17] ai6pg: its a problem if he wants to game i guess [19:17] its only a problem if you want to run windas [19:17] It's a good thing. No need for the microsoft cruft anymore. [19:17] exit [19:18] when i install virtualbox and run ubuntu on it, everytime i shut it seems to lose the work i had previously done (.. install ruby on rails) [19:18] why is that [19:18] kah: are you running the live image maybe? [19:18] kah: are you using the livecd or a VM's HD? [19:18] most likely the live cd [19:18] image [19:18] iso [19:19] kah: you need to install to a HD then [19:19] on step nine i get a error [19:19] suggestions? [19:19] Im looking for a https front end for a weak http webserver. in other words im looking for a machine that can sit inbetween the insecure http server and provide a https interface to the outside world === helpdesk is now known as switchtech [19:19] yetch had to change my name [19:20] switchtech, check out pound [19:20] Hi, I need to use some linux live cd. I will be using g++, vim, some web browser and have to configure wifi. Will Ubuntu live cd be proper? [19:20] HermanDE: is that a channel? [19:20] switchtech, It's an applicaton. [19:20] aah [19:20] brb [19:20] kriestof: ubuntu live-cd does not have vim and g++ installed by default [19:20] switchtech, More like a reverse/forwarding proxy system [19:21] kriestof: you have to install when the system is running [19:21] iceroot: well vim-tiny ;) [19:21] switchtech, It's very simple and ensures proper http coms. [19:21] zykotick9: vim-tiny == vi [19:21] is there a channel related to ubuntu on mac or am I in the right place? [19:21] iceroot: agreed [19:21] on step nine i get a error [19:21] HermanDE: thanks, ill check it out... [19:21] kriestof: but you can installed a system to a usb-drive for example [19:21] iceroot: So every time after reboot, I will have to install it again? [19:22] jeremiah_: always specify the error or link to it on pastebin, thanks. [19:22] kriestof: correct [19:22] jeremiah_: he left [19:22] kriestof: install the system to an usb-drive, much better [19:22] mv: cannot stat `/home/jeremiah/jre1.7.0_02/': No such file or directory [19:22] Okay, I removed all the excess kernels using sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-XX-generic (XX = version numbers), then I ran sudo update-grub2. Are there any other files like headers, source, etc that I can remove? [19:22] kriestof: if you have a usb (and systems that boot usb) you can install a full ubuntu onto a usb key. [19:22] iceroot: does it take a lot of time? [19:23] the usb drive install isnot working for me... [19:23] kriestof: the usb-installation? [19:23] iceroot: Yes. [19:23] 12 [19:23] kriestof: the same time as a normal hdd installation, 10-30 minutes [19:23] bill gates is going to spy kids at school http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/01/29/1446236/gates-paying-murdoch-for-system-to-track-us-kids-school-progress [19:23] the link is http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/ [19:23] CAPITALISMUS: stop it [19:23] jeremiah_: just catching up with the previous parts of the conversation. sorry [19:24] iceroot: same time, you must be kidding, installing to usb take MUCH longer. [19:24] zykotick9: no [19:24] its ok [19:24] zykotick9: depending on the drive of course [19:24] iceroot: :o so I make typical installation and in devices I'll see my pen drive device? [19:24] kriestof: correct [19:25] iceroot: USB even USB2 is SLOW compared to sata/ide. then flash storage devices are often a limiting factor as well. Installs to USB are slow. [19:25] zykotick9: usb-drive == ssd [19:25] thinking about installing ubuntu on my main desktop. I have 3 drives. Vista is on a 150GB drive with 1 partition. I have two other hard drives. 1.5GB with 1 partition and 2GB with 2 partitions, 1.7GB and 300GB. all boot info is on the 150GB drive. Can I install a dual boot with ubuntu on the 300GB partiton with all boot info on that partition? or does must write to the 150GB drive? thanks for any info. [19:25] jeremiah_: You said something about step 7... what instructions are you following? [19:25] Usb goes through cpu [19:25] iceroot: if it's going through USB it'll still be slow [19:25] !nounity [19:25] 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 [19:25] zykotick9: But sometimes you havent choice [19:25] zykotick9: USB2 can do 480MBit/s, a normal hdd can make 80MByte/s [19:25] kriestof: agreed [19:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/821651/ [19:26] does the install [19:26] jeremiah_: thanks, won't be a second [19:26] iceroot: can I have installation on pendrive where I want to install system? [19:26] kriestof: ? [19:27] kriestof: you can't install onto your install media no. [19:27] zykotick9: ok, thanks [19:27] and iceroot too [19:27] zykotick9: also remeber a usb-drive is much faster on read/write access then a hdd [19:27] zykotick9: so there is no big difference in usb or hdd [19:28] iceroot: usb is faster then nothing ;) it's slow, believe what you wish. [19:28] zykotick9: my system here is running on usb [19:28] zykotick9: trust me [19:28] jeremiah_: If you go into you home dir, can you find the file that is simlarly named to the one the commmand is trying to move, and change the command in the script to match? === aaron is now known as Guest44653 [19:28] iceroot: just cause you can does not mean its fast [19:28] zykotick9: do some hdparm-benchmark on a usb-drive and a hdd and you will see [19:28] in gnome3 there is a small system tray at the bottom of the screen. Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch to one of those application ¨minimize¨? [19:28] acicula: do some hdparm-benchmark too [19:28] i'll try. [19:29] acicula: and i am only saying that is it not MUCH slower then a hdd [19:29] oh but it is [19:29] can you install ubunto dual boot onto a different drive than the other OS? [19:29] usb2.0 is 480Mbit, the sata 1 interface is 1.5Gb/s, 3 if you have sata 2 [19:30] if you attach a disk via usb2.0 its the usb connection that is slowing things down, not the harddrive [19:30] acicula: show me one hdd which can handle 3gb/s [19:30] phpN00b: those applications arent so much minimized as they are "available to giv you alerts", atleast that [19:30] iceroot: from my testing, hdparms on usb gives very strange results (i wouldn't trust them if i where you). Testing a variety of USB and SD cards gave wildly diverse results, retesting the same USB would often get very different results as well. [19:30] oh guys one more question. Maybe I'm able to install my Ubuntu system on USB somehow without using boot device(usb or CD)? [19:30] phpN00b: atleast that is my understanding. It's more like those little tiny icons next to the clock in windows. [19:30] acicula: hdparm on my sata-drive is showing 87MByte/s [19:31] Any ideas on what can be removed to make HDD space? I have removed old Linux kernels. Anything else that hangs around after upgrades etc.? [19:31] acicula: my usb-drive is giving me 49MByte/s [19:31] Ascavasaion: try: sudo apt-get autoclean [19:31] Ascavasaion: "du -h /var/cache/apt" [19:31] acicula: with much faster read/write access, so i dont see the BIG difference [19:31] Ascavasaion: It cleans out cached .deb files and the like [19:32] Ascavasaion: by du command will be low after running hydrox24 command ;) [19:32] acicula: as / its much more important to have fast read/write then a high transfer-rate. [19:32] Ascavasaion: use bleachbit carefully as root and your user with as many apps closed as possible [19:32] I'm guessing laggy window dragging is gone in gnome [19:33] iceroot: 49Mbyte/s from a usb2 connection sounds more like an error then an actual speed [19:33] Karmaon: depends on config [19:33] sorry but i have to go. i will try when i have time and if i bumb into you again i will let you know. [19:33] acicula: 480MBit/s / 8 = 69Mbyte/s (theoretical max) [19:33] acicula: 480MBit/s / 8 = 60Mbyte/s (theoretical max) [19:34] jeremiah_: that's OK [19:34] acicula: its just a matter of quality of the usb-memory [19:34] err... How is USB transfer speed an Ubuntu support issue? [19:35] theadmin: installing ubuntu on usb is a support issue [19:35] Thank you guys. [19:35] iceroot: Ah, I see then. [19:35] * theadmin runs her OS off a USB drive and never encountered any major slowness [19:35] Then again, I use Openbox... [19:35] theadmin: same here (both) :) [19:35] Iceroot: the max is 80Mbps, so its not bad. USB 1.1 max is 12Mbps [19:36] good day to you all [19:36] Hi gos [19:36] ActionParsnip: 480MBit/s / 8 = 60MByte/s [19:36] iceroot: I see, heh, that's a nice coincidence xD [19:37] theadmin, russian? [19:37] Misread. D'oh [19:37] so running / on usb2 is not a problem, you dont need high transfer-rates for / normally, you want fast read/write like a ssd is offering [19:37] Viliny_: #ubuntu-ru [19:37] no, are you russian? [19:37] have a look at iotop, you will never see something more then a few MByte/s [19:38] Viliny: that isn't a support question [19:38] Viliny_: Yes, but that's irrelevant. [19:38] to type ¨ I have to press on the ¨ key twice. why?

I can't see many more updates coming after a while [19:55] Seryth: use software centre [19:55] ActionParsnip, yeah when EOL hits, well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it [19:56] so linux isnt target at animals^?

[20:04] in gnome 3, does anyone know how to choose a setting where the min, max, close buttons are to the right? [20:04] markyxxxz: do you have an xorg.conf currently? do you need to edit it? do you need an xorg.conf file? [20:04] stephenh: The website seems to tell you to install fedora and then amahi... or is there a more direct approach I'm not seeing? [20:05] pikaciu: Thanks [20:05] biohazard135: The package is selected for deinstallation (i.e. we want to remove all files, except configuration files). [20:05] markyxxxz: to generate one, you could use "X -configure :1" if server is already active. But that's kinda the old-school method of configuring Xorg. [20:05] zykotick9: No. I'm going to use Intel.By default xorg.conf is not needed. I just need to knw the proper way to reinstall and reconfigure everything. [20:06] Seryth: you're wellcome [20:06] biohazard135: for more information #man dpkg [20:06] I need to know how to seperate an account from it's root (if that makes sense) [20:06] zykotick9: Hmm I haven't tried that.

[20:38] Hello [20:38] pikaciu: I deleted the directories off the partition, then unmounted the partition to be sure not to write anything to it [20:38] nancy--: i bet you could do it with the uniq command [20:38] pikaciu: deleted accidentally* [20:38] Does anyone play Lord Of The Rings? PyLotro doesnt update. Can someone help? [20:38] zykotick9, which unique command ? [20:38] is there an ubuntu one client for Windows?

Ended up changing several things that I don't recall anymore. But one was to edit the (in your case) Epiphany.desktop with some lines that the other browsers have to make it popup in www-alternatives [20:43] I don't udnerstand. I ahve to pay 4 usd a month for 20GB online storage for my phone. Why would I do that? I can easily get a 32GB sd card for about 40euros. === recon is now known as Guest28606 [20:43] Hello, I'm running 10.10 on a loop device and am wondering how to change the size of said device from 20G to 30-40G [20:43] Ubutnu one should come up with somehting like 100Gb for only 5 usd a month [20:43] Does anyone know when "apt-get upgrade" will include GCC 4.7? 4.6.1 lacks quite a few features. [20:43] phpNOOb, you could lose it [20:44] Guest28606, unlikely [20:44] rj11: after a release, packages don't usually get version increases. that's not how debian/ubuntu works... [20:44] phpN00b: you can access it from different devices no matter where you are. [20:44] phpN00b: just saying, you were having problems understanding why someone might pay for online storage [20:45] On-The-Fly, same I can say since it is a sdcard [20:45] can we go back to the topic of Ubuntu support? [20:45] Guest28606: For backup purposes, that why I have dropbox [20:46] which channel would be appropriate to get help cracking an archive? (my own archive - forgot password) [20:46] zykotick9: Crap... thanks for the info! :) [20:46] Hello, I'm running 10.10 on a loop device and am wondering how to change the size of said device from 20G to 30-40G [20:46] brobeans: err i don't know, ##crypto maybe. what sort of archive is it? ZIP is easy to crack, RAR much harder, for example [20:47] hi [20:47] hi [20:47] wojtek: hi [20:47] BaD_BoY: ji [20:47] BaD_BoY: hi* [20:47] @LjL: why is that? Doesn't it depend on the algorithm used? [20:47] help [20:47] hi all [20:47] is [20:47] how can I connect to upnp (media tomb) from banshee? [20:47] free acound shells [20:47] BaD_BoY: What do you need help with? [20:47] anyone able to suggest a good room to get some help with a java/ ubuntu camera problem [20:47] On-The-Fly: yeah, and ZIP uses a weak algorithm :P (at least last i checked) [20:47] !ot | BaD_BoY [20:47] WXZ: try tct packet [20:47] BaD_BoY: #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! [20:48] @LjL: I thought you could manually select the algorithm that you want to use [20:48] anyone know why my contacts in hotmail.com are not showing up in evolution mail [20:48] LjL: thanks [20:48] pikaciu: I'm trying ntfsundelete, I'll get back to you in a second === WollensakT1500 is now known as JeepCherokee [20:48] On-The-Fly: you can of course, if you encrypt the archive afterwards. but if you just use ZIP/RAR's own "password" system, it uses whatever it uses [20:48] Hello, I'm running 10.10 on a loop device and am wondering how to change the size of said device from 20G to 30-40G [20:48] i have an ubuntu one account synched [20:49] but no contacts on there?

[20:50] mysql-server messed up and i need to completely get rid of it. [20:50] ubuntu 11.10, programs can take a while to load, in general. meaning 5/10 seconds wait before program launches. most common reason? more rammage? [20:50] brobeans: how much ram do you have? [20:50] On-The-Fly, found the place to set default application [20:51] oneliner, it is in settings->system information -> default application [20:51] @LjL: I think that's only the options you see within the default small GUI. If you use the CLI, it looks a lot different. Same goes for the GUI in Windows [20:51] kind of weird place to put that option [20:51] i'll reinstall lamp, see if that helps [20:52] biohazard135: 2GB dd2 atm, dual core 3GHz. set up an independant pc for ubuntu [20:52] phpN00b, if you type preferred in the dash, does it give you a tool to set defaults? [20:52] biohazard135: reinstalling seldom helps any [20:52] hello! [20:52] me again =) [20:52] brobeans: you should be fine, check "free -m" in terminal to see how much ram you have [20:52] i wondered how i can make vlc my default player [20:52] biohazard135: thanks bro [20:52] guntbert: what is seldom? i installed lamp via apt-get, just mysql-server didn't quite work [20:53] biohazard135: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge (package name) [20:53] biohazard135: 600mb free ram [20:53] :) [20:53] switchtech: thanks [20:53] Mixxit: Preferences>Preferred Applications... [20:53] where is preferences [20:53] biohazard135: "seldom" is really "almost never" - you get the same settings you had before === Guest28606 is now known as recon_lap [20:53] Mixxit: system [20:53] biohazard135: that is unless its a custom install from source [20:53] brobeans: yeah, that's fine, there might be another reason such as a slow disk [20:54] do you know how to connect to media serwer (mediatomb) from banshee? [20:54] switchtech: no i use apt-get, i'm too much of a noob to compile lamp myself [20:54] Mixxit: System settings - system info - default applications [20:54] hello [20:54] ah thanks! [20:54] yughy: Hey [20:55] I modified the file epiphany.desktop. should I reload gnome? [20:55] biohazard: What? its not that bad. ./configure, make, make install [20:55] biohazard135: i'll dupe to a new disk see if that makes any difference. thanks for the info] [20:55] unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes,fsck,fsck,fsck,umount, sleep. [20:55] hmm doesnt seem to be making a difference [20:56] phpN00b: Reload gnome because of editing a .desktop file? I doubt it is neccessary [20:56] switchtech: i know just then the modules for php & apache, i tried before to get everything to work :/ [20:56] switchtech: i compiled skype myself, as it wasn't in the repo .. later found out it was. [20:56] Mixxit: restart or log in maybe? [20:56] switchtech: why do you recommend compiling ? [20:57] ok thanks ill give that a go now! [20:57] sometimes the repo servers are back a little on their updates. can lead to vulnerable packages until they commit [20:57] guntbert: http://blog.zx2c4.com/749 <-- Great example [20:57] switchtech: i remember firefox 4 came out, days later it still wasn't on the repo [20:58] Epiphany is broken [20:58] phpN00b: What is wrong with it? [20:58] epiphany-browser -n google.com still open google in my current tab\ [20:58] it should open in a new tab [20:59] switchtech: what has that to do with LAMP? [20:59] guntbert: im guessing php/apache hasn't been updated in the repos thus servers won't be updated [20:59] to be honest, i never check for updates (on apache.org) it's a lot easier to ssh in and just apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [21:00] so it's actually more secure for me [21:00] guntbert: just an example, if they dont check you may want to. specially with the speed at which people are getting Pwned on the net... [21:00] guntbert: its one mistake away from looking for a new job at some places.... [21:01] switchtech: isn't that more because of bad php scripts than the actual server itself? i mean, LAMP is secure enough [21:01] guntbert: because you should have known better [21:01] switchtech: biohazard135: sorry, I didn't follow your whole conversation - I won't interfere any more :) [21:01] biohazard135: not necessarily, this is some harry territory. but if your mustard... http://www.exploit-db.com/ [21:02] guntbert: glad you asked, now you know more... [21:02] switchtech: ooh, i can do some more testing [21:02] biohazard135: be careful. that place can lead you quickly into harms way... [21:03] switchtech: ok so, lets assume theres a zero day exploit on apache, and the repo is a few days behind, how would you know apache actually patched it? do they have rss or something? [21:03] switchtech: i'd forget to check -.- anyway, almost done uninstalling lamp [21:04] bye [21:04] back [21:04] biohazard135: its best to check some forums, you can pentest yourself with armatage if you like. however if you dont own the server you need authorization.... in writing ;) [21:04] biohazard135: switchtech maybe you guys want to go into a private chat? got no problem with public but you are very active, and only to each other [21:05] biohazard135: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ <-- Again be EXTREMELY careful what you point that tool at... [21:05] switchtech: I'm far from convinved that telling someone who came in looking for advice on how to install a LAMP stack is going to be best served by compiling from source [21:05] Can someone help with setting up java sdk on Ubuntu 10.04 [21:05] wynn: apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk === Nick is now known as Guest74709 [21:05] afaik that's the command [21:05] !ask | wynn [21:06] wynn: 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 === kingston_ is now known as sumosu [21:06] biohazard135: "To get notification of when new security issues are fixed, join the Apache HTTP Server Announcements list": https://httpd.apache.org/security_report.html [21:06] I've got it installed, but it doesn't like when I use the standard libs [21:06] ssta: to each his own, if you like the package repos and want to stick with them, choose your own adventure. i only stress hand installs as it increases knowledge of the application itself... and the terminal [21:06] wynn: Maybe you should try Sun's Java instead? [21:06] does anyone know if nginx is more secure than apache? i would use it for it's speed but it's annoying to get php to work with it. [21:07] ssta: I work with way too many GUI administrators... [21:07] switchtech: whatever...I think steering people at lower levels of experience that way is counterproductive and more likely to lead them to making mistakes that comprimise their systems [21:07] ubottu: I thought I was, just being polite... the intent was for someone to give the answer. [21:07] wynn: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:08] ssta: to each his own, at the end of the string it really is your sudo that makes it happen.. [21:08] wynn: what in particular isn't working with openjdk? Most stuff works fine. The only things that don't are generally things that use unsafe backdoors to the JVM [21:08] wynn: Uninstall openjdk and install: http://superuser.com/questions/353983/how-do-i-install-the-sun-java-sdk-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneric [21:08] there is nothing wrong with compiling from source, just if you never check for updates it's a bad thing, if your a great sysadmin like switchtech, it's better to compile yourself. [21:09] wynn: Maybe that will solve your problem. [21:09] I get an error on import statements... I'm not sure if i have to adjust one of the path variables or something [21:09] biohazard135: if you have the time to keep up to date on thousands of packages, sure. I have a life and a job :) [21:09] wynn: what import? [21:09] wynn: what packages do work (if any) [21:09] biohazard135: thanks for the props, however a good sysadmin is one that never stops learning, or asking questions. I dont take ssta negatively [21:10] ssta: import io.*; that kinda stuff [21:10] biohazard135: io.* isn't a standard package [21:10] ssta: it isn't? o_O mind you i only just started learning java so i really have no idea. [21:10] realubot: this works with 10.04 as well? (your link) [21:10] biohazard135: java.io is... [21:11] ssta: oh. [21:11] ssta: oooh give him the hungarian notation speech! [21:11] is it normal that it starts/stop openssh multiple times during start up? [21:11] ssta: import System.util.* [21:11] switchtech: umm, what? [21:11] wynn: umm, that's not a standard package [21:11] ssta: joke, back to baseX [21:12] wynn: perhaps you means java.util? [21:12] wynn: Maybe Sun's Java was stilll in the repos f 10.04? [21:12] biohazard135: everything works, I just can't seem to develop with it. But all my java apps and web work fine. [21:12] is openJDK not recommended? [21:12] wynn: pastebin a class that doesn't work for me will you? [21:12] wynn: what do you mean not develop with it? does javac work (for instance) [21:12] ssta: really? I thought that came with the sdk 1.6? [21:12] recon_lap: openjdk is fine for anything that doesn't use J2EE... [21:13] wynn: That will work in Lucid too: https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/java [21:13] wynn: nope [21:13] question: why is this room so empty yet so full. seriously, there must be 1000+ people here and only about 10 active people. [21:13] wynn: Look for yourself. The PPA contains a package för Lucid. [21:14] biohazard135: maybe it's an xchat default [21:14] recon_lap: unless it's evil and is using stuff from sun.misc.Unsafe...which it shouldn't be. Several J2EE appserver DO however... [21:14] ssta: your're right it is java.util. Let me see if that works.... I could just be having a moment... [21:14] biohazard135: campers, they like to check the logs when they come back online... [21:14] I'm building a webserver using ubuntu, and I've run into an issue. I thought I had php working, as he site in /var/www renders php, but sites in /user/public_html do not - Where shall I start to fix this problem? [21:15] recon_lap: I've been told that OpenJDK will work but sometimes there is special situations where you'll need Sun's Java. [21:15] switchtech: major waste of bandwidth, someone on here should make a bot that kicks you after (x) mins inactivity. [21:15] biohazard135, people trying to get the best uptime ever [21:15] mongy: lol [21:15] mongy: are you serious? [21:15] ssta, good to know, as i am planning to learn java [21:15] I used to leave it logged in on my vps, but then my vps rarely but randomly decided to reboot [21:15] ok. yes I botched up the import. Sorry I learned c# first.... old habits die hard [21:16] anyway, its ot [21:16] wynn: Maybe you'll have to uninstall OpenJDK befor installting Sun's Java from the PPA. === Mud is now known as Guest55967 [21:17] I'm having a problem with java marvin framework examples , get 'Unknown video format' when i try use the web cam [21:17] realubot: you can have both installed at once. However, if you can get by with OpenJDK you're better off sticking to it. The Sun JDK isn't auto updated, so you have to watch for security pacthes yourself [21:17] realubot: It was indeed user error. I have to learn java, so I wasn't sure if the SDK wasn't setup properly or if it was me. It was me. [21:18] Thanks everyone. [21:18] yeah that lamp stack did not install well, i just get HTTP 500 now [21:19] ssta: Ok. [21:20] biohazard135: Here, if you want to make your own... [21:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/irc-server.html [21:20] biohazard135: did you try installing from the repository? What was the error? [21:20] ssta: no error, http 500 on a test page i made, i think it's mysql missing from php [21:21] switchtech: what? i don't want to run my own ircd. [21:21] biohazard135: how did you install the stack? [21:21] ssta: apt-get install apache2 php5-apache2 ..... usual stuff [21:21] ok php works fine, just not "mysql_connect" [21:22] I have a directory in an ntfs partition, and I shift + deleted everything in it, how do I get it back? [21:22] biohazard: that was from your earlier comment about kicking clients [21:22] biohazard135: does mysql_connect work if you run the php from the command line? [21:22] biohazard135: if you want to go with the source... http://www.lamphowto.com/ === beboj is now known as spartanian [21:23] ssta: haven't tried that, also i fixed it: missing "php5-mysql" [21:23] Do I have to use the alternate installer to get whole disk encryption on 11.10? === spartanian is now known as spartakus [21:23] i should really turn on errors [21:23] biohazard135: you know there's a tasksel task for lamp-stack? [21:23] Anyone know how to get the macbook pro fn keys to work with Awesome manager? [21:23] ssta: no, what is tasksel (i'm really new to linux, only ever ran it on a vps and used ssh for everything) [21:24] I'm having a problem with java marvin framework examples , get 'Unknown video format' when i try use the web cam. [21:24] biohazard135: it's a thing that can install a bunch of packages that fit together for a task, like mail-server, or lamp-server [21:25] biohazard135: sudo apt-get install tasksel; tasksel (and then pick lamp-server from the list) [21:25] biohazard135: also see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [21:25] tasksel is the recommended way to get a lamp stack [21:29] I have a directory in an ntfs partition, and I shift + deleted everything in it, how do I get it back? [21:29] ok one last thing, i did install phpmyadmin which put all the php in /usr/share/phpmyadmin and it's conf in /etc/phpmyadmin [21:29] do i need to actually need to mv the config? the apache.conf file has alias info [21:30] biohazard135: no, generally the package sets it up for you [21:30] biohazard135: http://localhost/phpmyadmin has always done the right thing for me [21:30] yeah, but /phpmyadmin doesn't show anything, and neither does grep -r phpmyadmin /etc/apache2/ [21:30] ssta: i get 404 [21:30] biohazard135: umm, the package would have asked you...did you tell it to configure for apache2? [21:31] ssta: yes [21:31] biohazard135: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin [21:31] make sure it shows apache2 as being checked [21:31] biohazard135: if it still doesn't work, then that's a bug that should be reported [21:31] hey people. I've just installed Ubuntu on a new computer I've built and could use some help getting stuff just right with the graphics card / monitors. [21:31] ok im on the screen, apache2 or lighthttpd, the red square is over apache2, do i just hit enter? [21:31] space [21:31] to select it, there should be a * in there [21:32] space, then enter [21:32] ssta: oh, i pressed enter, yeah theres * now [21:32] Sup [21:32] is it ok to ask my questions here? [21:32] im tryng to run muse.. and i get an error that the midi sequencer is not started.. can anyone help? [21:32] biohazard135: that's why it wasn;t working then :) [21:32] captbunzo, ask away [21:32] cool. [21:32] the 1st error was a abou the jack server, i worked that out [21:33] I've booted up after the install and it seems that the screen is, um, overflowing a bit. [21:33] as in parts of what should be visible is off the screen. [21:33] ssta: yeah, ok that's my dev environment setup. it's been difficult moving from windows, my whole weekend has been trying to get everything up and running [21:33] does that make sense? [21:33] captbunzo, push AUTO button on your monitor [21:33] biohazard135: yeah...don't worry, you're getting there. It takes time to get comfortable in unix [21:34] Neosano: lol... lemme look for an auto button :) [21:34] ssta: windows 8 did it for me. the second i opened that start menu on the dev iso i knew it was time to move. [21:34] captbunzo, if there's no such button you'd probably have to do it manually. But as I can see - it's not ubuntu fault :) [21:34] Neosano: sure it's not something wrong with the mode lines? [21:35] Wait Neosano it may not be Ubuntu but i have one question for captbunzo [21:35] captbunzo, desktop or netbook? [21:35] Hi There, Good Day to all, i had Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric i install Haproxy from src with make > make install but i cant unistall it.. is any out of the box method? [21:35] LunatyK: desktop [21:35] Aight [21:36] ModFather: for next time, use checkinstall [21:36] Then you need to reset your monitor settings [21:36] running an Radeon HD 6850 with a pair of monitors [21:36] os[Linux 2.6.32-33-generic i686] distro[Ubuntu "lucid" 10.04] cpu[2 x AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 (AuthenticAMD) @ 800MHz] mem[Physical: 1.9GB, 82.0% free] disk[Total: 141.2GB, 93.1% free] video[nVidia Corporation C67 [GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M]] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia] [21:36] that seeemed likely to me... [21:36] ModFather, if you still have the folder you used to compile, then sudo make uninstall [21:36] ModFather, if not, then get it again, configure and make and then sudo make uninstall [21:36] these dang modern things don't seem to want to let me do that very easily... [21:36] biohazard135: well, not really sure about desktops...they all seem to be going in a direction I don't like...but I've never considered anything non-unixy for servers...Anyways, good luck with LAMP :) [21:36] oh btw, when i was on windows my external drive (which i carry everywhere) used bitlocker, naturally i disabled it before moving to ubuntu but is there anything similar? [21:37] ModFather, oh and use checkinstall in future like zykotick9 said. [21:37] ssta: i used to run windows server on a dedicated server, such a waste of time and money, i only had WAMP on it. [21:37] biohazard135: truecrypt? [21:37] So like, I want to use root account on Ubuntu, can anyone help ? [21:37] another question is whether it is more advisable to use the default ATI drivers, or the proprietary ones from ATI. any thoughts? [21:37] !root | Emery [21:37] Emery: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:38] well really there's a root user... [21:38] No i want to use a root account [21:38] Emery: usually a bad idea...why would you bother? [21:38] Because i'd like to [21:38] So who knows how [21:38] XD [21:38] Emery: it's not supported here [21:38] !noroot | Emery [21:38] Emery: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [21:38] Root please [21:38] anyone know how [21:38] biohazard135, for linux only I use cryptsetup and disk utility to encrypt the partition. [21:38] Emery, you can go in user settings and unblock root [21:38] Emery: stop [21:38] Emery: wait what do you want? [21:38] I want to use root acc [21:38] Emery: sudo su [21:38] Emery: it's not supported here [21:38] !root [21:38] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:38] not this sudo shit [21:38] I want to use root [21:38] biohazard135: WRONG [21:39] Emery, told you already. [21:39] bro [21:39] you didn't [21:39] love the output of !root... [21:39] Emery, did. [21:39] ROOT accound [21:39] !wfm [21:39] 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.

[21:39] Emery, Emery, you can go in user settings and unblock root [21:39] shut up [21:39] I have a directory in an ntfs partition, and I shift + deleted everything in it, how do I get it back? [21:39] what the ? [21:40] I want to use root, just tell me how to activate it [21:40] Emery: no, not here [21:40] Emery: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:40] i'm not asking you [21:40] Emery: can you just state WHY you want to use root? [21:40] Emery: it's not supported here (what part of this don't you understand?) [21:40] you clearly know nothing [21:40] i don't need to state why [21:40] I want to [21:40] That's reason enough [21:40] biohazard135: stop discussing that please [21:40] guntbert, is a clear tard [21:40] Do you know anything ? [21:41] Emery: you've been given the link that has instructions on how to do it like 5 times at least...what more do you want? [21:41] could I be next for help lol? [21:41] Emery: this channel does not encourage on using root, please stop [21:41] Then again you do use ununtu [21:41] anyone have any advice on how to convince my lovely monitors to display the image correct? [21:41] so. [21:41] wonder how ingnore works [21:41] Well i want to use root [21:41] OK [21:41] Emery: Logging in as root is not supported here (period). Your language and attitude are not acceptable. [21:41] Emery use Slackware if you want root [21:41] shut up fag [21:41] what [21:41] I'd really like to believe you folks that it is a monitor and not ubuntu problem... however the monitor seems to think it's fine. [21:41] lol'd. [21:41] Ty [21:41] Guys, I'm going to perform some kind of a presentation.. There's a tool called Ardesia, but it requires composition (and I'm on lubuntu). is there any other tool to do it? I simply want to draw and highlight things on my screen [21:42] mongy: i tried, i get error it doesnt find unistall command ... [21:42] auto image adjust is greyed out in the menu (i.e. unselectable) and manual image adjust doesn't show anything useful. [21:42] mongy: it doesnt had Configure inside it.. [21:42] ModFather, just go through the procedures you went through when you installed it, except stop at the make install part. [21:42] I assume someone here is an advanced Ubuntu user? [21:43] AFNick, just ask your question [21:43] for the command line, are the commands different between Linux distro's? [21:44] not usually...the odd one is all [21:44] LunatyK: could I bother you for a bit more help, please? [21:44] AFNick: only in regards to package management [21:44] AFNick: apart from the commands to install packages, mostly the same [21:44] AFNick: there are some different commands, and some commands have different arguments between versions - so yes [21:44] how about between Ubuntu and CentOS [21:44] mongy: i install by typing: make TARGET=linux26 [21:44] Neosano: http://www.ubuntips.com.ar/2011/02/22/xcompmgr-alternativa-a-compiz-para-maquinas-con-pocos-recursos/ xcompmgr gives basic composite (shadows, efects) [21:45] AFNick: those use a different package manager and some of the configuration under /etc may be different as well [21:45] AFNick: yes, yum and apt-get [21:45] xangua, is it going to be simple to disable it after that? [21:45] Yes captbunzo [21:45] Whats seems to be the prob? [21:45] what exactly is YUM...Im having trouble finding info [21:45] not sure if CentOS is using upstart yet...there was talk of it ages back [21:45] strangely, I get the same problem at a normal terminal, not just in X. [21:45] its a package manager like apt-get only for rpm instead of deb [21:45] but it works the same way? [21:45] Neosano: yes, just kill xcompmgr [21:46] AFNick, yes it does [21:46] similarly [21:46] hmm :\ [21:46] I'll try it [21:46] Right clicking on the top bar which has the clock on it does nothing. How can I add stuff to it like in the old versions? [21:46] there is a wiki on arch web if you don't get spanish https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xcompmgr [21:46] I have my job interview for a linux support technician job at a webhosting company..and 99% of thier servers run CentOS [21:46] AFNick: yum is teh pacakge installer in centos/fedora [21:46] Neosano * see what i said above [21:47] AFNick: you don't think you'd be better off in a centOS channel then? [21:47] AFNick: yeah centos is pretty common for some reason, despite yum being quite horrible [21:47] AFNick, I think indepth knowledge of yum is not high priority in such a job role. [21:47] how do I find out what X is currently using as configuration for resolution, etc? [21:47] acicula: yum is awesome compared to what they had before yum arrived... :) [21:47] well Ive been spending the past week working on my command line....but I was using it on Ubuntu and found out they were using CentOS [21:47] xangua, wewt, thanks :D [21:48] AFNick: the two are close enough that it won't matter much [21:48] AFNick: Load up centos in a virtualbox and play with it for a wile before your interview [21:48] ssta: well true i suppose [21:48] captbunzo, im not to familiar with Ubuntu [21:48] Im downloading it now...Im just really nervous for this next interview [21:48] AFNick: [21:48] does anyone know how to stop empathy from expanding the window horizontally when I'm typing a message? [21:48] AFNick: just be hnest that much of your experience is on Ubuntu, so it might take you a few days to get used to CentOS instead and you'll be fine [21:48] mongy : i install it with : make TARGET=linux26 .. and it doesnt had configure inside [21:48] xangua, any way to configure it? like a gui? [21:48] I've used linux for years... this shouldn't be this hard! [21:49] ModFather, I'm not sure then. [21:49] well thanks guys. Im gonna go install CentOS and try it out. Thanks! [21:49] * LunatyK is used to SlackWare 13.37 [21:49] good luck [21:49] AFNick: good luck [21:49] Eh [21:50] captbunzo: xwininfo -root [21:50] What is CentOS like? [21:50] thx ssta [21:50] ModFather, can't you do the make, sudo make install and then sudo make uninstall anyway? It might remove whatever it did with make TARGET [21:50] captbunzo: might be --root, I don't recall. Check the manpage [21:50] LunatyK: rebrande redhat [21:50] rebranded [21:51] the system is changing my screen brightness with regula intervals, and discards my manual setting [21:51] ssta, it would be xwininfo --root [21:51] how do I disable that behaviour? [21:51] ssta: -root did the trick [21:51] dan457, is it good? [21:51] yeah, -root. Cool [21:51] WXZ , have look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery , google is your friend [21:51] LunatyK: why would it be? [21:51] LunatyK: as a stable server? yes. [21:51] recon_lap: I've been doing that for the past while [21:52] LunatyK: i on't care for it as a desktop, but thats personal preference. [21:52] WXZ, so what bit not working, specific question more likely to get answers [21:52] Well becuz for one ssta if you want to run xwininfo as root you would use -root if you --root it logs in to root but you dont use root commands [21:52] I really think I need to inform X a bit more about the monitor [21:52] what programing lanugage should i start with ? [21:52] dan457, im used to Slackware not any other really [21:53] feeling like mucking about with the xorg.conf file. [21:53] Perl keith_linux123 [21:53] keith_linux123, depends on your needs [21:53] True [21:53] if I change that, how do I get it to take effect? do I have to reboot? [21:53] why Perl? [21:53] But if you want practice start with perl or python they are the easiest [21:53] Unless you can do Ruby [21:53] recon_lap: ok, for example, with ntfsundelete I never get the names of the files, and how do I search a specific directory.. I don't need to search the whole partition [21:53] LunatyK: umm, WHAT?! [21:53] acicula, go use SlackWare and you will tell a bight difference [21:54] ssta [21:54] Have you hacked into your own computer using it? [21:54] < LunatyK> Well becuz for one ssta if you want to run xwininfo as root you would use -root if you --root it logs in to root but you dont use root commands [21:54] LunatyK: i dont follow [21:54] ssta [21:54] Pm me [21:54] I will explain it a lil deeper [21:54] LunatyK: I think you should go look up what xwininfo -root does. [21:54] i just need to learn now [21:54] ill install the perl compiler though [21:55] ok keith_linux123 try using perl or python [21:55] They will help you learn [21:55] LunatyK: that statement was wrong in absolutely every respect I can think of [21:55] is there any terminal command that you can see window size of a program? [21:55] Not really ssta [21:55] Becuz for one [21:55] LunatyK: yes, really! [21:55] HAVE YOU USED SLACK! [21:55] If not [21:55] is it easier then C++ [21:55] LunatyK: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:55] how do I scan a specific directory with ntfsundelete? [21:55] WXZ: well maybe the filenames are gone and your just going to have to wade through the files you can recover. I'm no expert. [21:56] LunatyK: xwininfo -root doesn't do anything different on slack than it does on Ubuntu. Please don't pretend to know stuff you don't [21:57] recon_lap: that wouldn't be a problem if I could recover files from a specific directory, but I don't know how to search a single directory with ntfsundelete [21:57] Well if its not that different then damn i guess ubuntu was a build off from Slackware :) becuz Ubuntu is nothing like SlackWare. SlackWare you build your own shit. Ubuntu you have most of it [21:57] years ago there used to be a tool to manually adjust the current mode settings in X [21:57] WXZ: if ntfs is anything like ext - directories aren't real, they're just pointers in the file system table. When doing recovery, i doubt it will show the directory structure. Best of luck. [21:57] I know that sounds insane, but I feel like that's what I need. [21:57] anyone remember what that is called? [21:57] And ssta i know Slackware [21:58] I was 6 when i first used SlackWare [21:58] Kthanks [21:58] captbunzo: used to be called xvidtune. No idea if it made it to xorg though. It used to be XF86 [21:58] WXZ: youcan have it recover by partial names... *.mp3 for example to resore all deletedmp3's. no way i know to dp specific directories [21:58] I think it did. [21:59] beautiful, there it is :) [22:01] so if I update xorg.conf, do I have to reboot to get it to take effect? [22:01] captbunzo: just restart Xorg [22:01] captbunzo: restarting X should be enough [22:01] how do I restart X? [22:01] log out and log back in again [22:01] is it enough to log out and back in? [22:01] actually, maybe I can learn something here. [22:02] does gdm (or whatever ubuntu uses these days) and your actually logged in session use the same started up X server? [22:02] or do they have their own? [22:03] captbunzo: hmm, I honestly don't know. I always thought that the xdm layer and the user session was the same, but then when the user logged out it was restarted. Some sort of privdropping going on in betwee, But I've never really looked into it deeply [22:04] captbunzo: if it were all one, that would imply that the base layer was all running as root, which would be...disturbing [22:04] ssta: yep. [22:04] same as you, I used to think it was one. [22:05] after I fix this, my next task is to convince windows to boot again. [22:05] captbunzo: my suspicion is that xdm (or whatever teh dm is) is root privileged (as the initial X server is), but that privs are dropped as soon as there's a login... [22:05] ok ssta [22:05] if Ubuntu is like Slackware [22:06] it didn't seem to be happy after I installed ubuntu alongside it. [22:06] LunatyK: please go troll elsewhere... [22:06] What is the install command for Wine Windows Program Loader? [22:06] Hey guys, the ubuntu desktop sharing thing, can connect via any old vnc viewer? [22:06] Also, what's the default port? [22:06] NickHu: yes, and (I believe) 5900 [22:07] I was talking to someone yesterday: does anyone know how to fix "udevd[....]: specified group '' unknown" -its failing my boot :( [22:07] I don't think X is talking right to the monitor. [22:07] I think it is a modeline problem... [22:07] bugger freaking that. :) [22:08] captbunzo: mostly we don't need modelines any more...unless it's *really* old hardware [22:08] ssta: I know where you are coming from on that === someone is now known as Guest32219 [22:08] frankly. I expected that to be the case... [22:09] however, brand new pair of 22 inch widescreen monitors and a brand new ATI 6850 graphics card and I get a desktop bigger then the resolution, or some odd crap. === ozior is now known as ozigs === ozigs is now known as ozior [22:09] and the screens themselves are already in an "auto configuration" and don't have an option for manually overriding that./.. [22:10] captbunzo: native resolution with ati propritary driver? [22:10] How long does it take for a cpu fan to turn on? I did a build, got the bios splash screen but the fan just sits there. [22:10] I am using the default installed drivers atm. [22:10] captbunzo: looked at xrandr? Lets you do some stuff on the fly with resolution/refresh rates [22:10] so I guess that's the open source xorg ones, or whatnot. [22:10] I was thinking about xrandr.... [22:10] also wondered if I'd be better off just trying the proprietary drivers. [22:11] udevd hanges at "set children_max to 245" [22:11] I dunno...I've always avoided ati cards...I'm sure they're better now, but way back when, they were impossble to get running in Linux [22:12] I assume you have an nvidia card then? [22:12] I almost got one of those.... grrr.... [22:12] yeah. nvidia has usually been easy to get working for me (maybe I was just lucky) [22:12] although there are problems with my work machine with nvidia cards... [22:12] I've always bought nvidia, but I Pulled the card from my server and it's using the on board ati just fine. [22:13] Please help me, how i can remove programs that is installed? i tried make unistall and i got : make: *** No rule to make target `unistall'. Stop. [22:13] but installed the ait binary driver [22:13] ait binary? [22:13] sorry ati [22:13] ModFather: "unistall"? Spelling error maybe? Did you mean "uninstall"? [22:13] small keyboard on this old netbook. :) [22:13] ah yes, lol [22:14] dan457: am I better off using the control panel to do that? or to do it manually from the command line? [22:14] ssta: make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'. Stop. [22:15] ModFather: guess that particular thing doesn't have an uninstall then. Does the documentation say it should? [22:15] captbunzo: I used the system->additional drivers app [22:15] ssta not :( and i need to complete remove it [22:15] k. [22:15] ssta : also i checked on google but i didnt find nothing i asked on their channel but never got response [22:15] lost the fancy splash screen, but that can be fixed if you realy want it [22:16] there are two options... one called "ATI/AMD prop FGLRX graphics driver" and there other the same + (post-release updates) [22:16] ModFather: then you'll need to take the Makefile apart, see what it installed and where to, and remove them all by hand [22:16] any thoughts on which one I should try? [22:16] ModFather, install it first, then you should be able to make uninstall it [22:16] ModFather; you could have a look at the install script and manually undo what it did, [22:16] ModFather: installing from source is tricky...that's why it's not usually recommended [22:16] mongy : it is installed and running.. all i need is to completly remove it [22:16] mongy: not if the makefile has no uninstall target! [22:17] captbunzo: i'm using the first one. === Mud is now known as Guest90414 [22:17] ssta : how i can make it removed on startup up? [22:17] ModFather: probably not [22:17] ssta : how i can removed from startup up? [22:17] ModFather: you'll have to track down everything that make install did and undo it [22:17] ModFather: oh, it's probably a script somewhere in /etc/init.d [22:18] ModFather: It's also worth trying the "startup applications" in ubuntu settings. [22:18] ModFather: that could be really simple or a nightmare , depends on what it did [22:18] ssta : with rm -rf script name its all fine? or i need to remove it from update.rc? [22:18] Anyone know how to change what a program writes as, user and group wise? I'm having issues where 3 applications keep writing as root and not as my user and then i'm forced to chown and chgrp it every time [22:18] hydrox24: i am from console [22:19] ModFather: don't use -rf unless you KNOW you need to, especially as root. Just "rm /etc/init.d/whateverthescriptiscalled" whould do [22:19] umm, sudo rm even [22:19] ok [22:20] lol, think advising modfather to use sudo rm in the lib folder could end badly [22:20] ssta : is it on /etc/rc0.d/K***** [22:20] To add stuff to PATH i add it in ~/.bashrc. But if I want it to be systemwide, where do I put it? [22:21] ModFather: that't the one that shuts it down. [22:21] how i can remove it from all the rc*.d ? [22:21] iarp: depends on the program, does it need root access to work [22:21] recon_lap: he installed stuff from source with no clue what he was doing...all bets are off imo. This is the only way [22:21] ModFather: remove each one [22:21] does wubi see itself as a full install or is it different than regular install? [22:21] progress, maybe. [22:22] somedude: it sees itself as a regular ubuntu [22:22] now I have the resolution displaying right. but it's a little visibly wiggly and it won't let me turn off mirrored displays! :) [22:22] ok cool [22:22] thanks [22:22] recon_lap: i don't believe so [22:24] iarp: then run the program as the user you want the output owned by. [22:24] iarp; should work [22:25] i'm trying to figure out how tbh, i can only ssh in via one account, so i'm trying to figure out how to launch in this one account but run as another [22:25] ubuntu [22:26] years ago i played in a ubuntu server box and had figured out there was a way to like, at a low level specify 'everything that goes in this folder is always xx group xx owner with ### permissions' [22:26] iarp: Access Control List [22:26] ubuntu [22:27] captbunzo: I have never done dual monitor with ati, not sure how. just nvidia. my current ati box just has 1 [22:27] ubuntu [22:27] hurra [22:27] ubuntu [22:27] montar: do you have an ubuntu support question¿ [22:27] iarp: documentation-wise, you can read « man setfacl », « man getfacl », and « man mount » (you need to mount the partition with the "acl" option, so update your fstab) [22:27] xangua: ubuntu [22:27] ciao [22:28] aiuto [22:28] vorrei la lingua italiana [22:28] silenzio [22:28] !it|gennaro [22:28] gennaro: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

I'v looked but found little information [22:31] ubuntu [22:32] hi [22:32] ubuntu [22:32] Hi! I'm having some issues with a CIFS mount. It got mounted, network got lost, and now recovered. But the mount doesn't respond anymore, neither I can umount it. Any idea ? [22:32] dont say it 3 times! [22:32] ubuntu [22:33] dupondje: there is a force option in unmount, have you tried that [22:33] ubuntu [22:33] recon_lap: yep, it keeps waiting :( [22:33] ubuntu [22:33] hmm, think montar need kicking [22:33] recon_lap: agreed [22:33] lightdm doesn't seem to use the default session I set in lightdm.conf (http://pastebin.com/AppsniuW). Anyone can see what's going wrong? [22:33] why [22:33] dupondje: Iv'e seen it before, several times. You can mount over the top of it and it will work (probably), but the only weay (that I have found) to get rid of it is to reboot [22:33] why kicking [22:34] your spaming the channel [22:34] ssta: Guess shutdown will lock also no? as it will try to umount [22:34] but ubuntu is correct [22:34] Nabby, is it a session? [22:34] dupondje: no. It can take a while, but it will reboot [22:34] dupondje: well, always has for me [22:34] ubuntu is correct. [22:34] Nabby, seems more like just a .desktop file for running xbmc [22:35] goes looking for the ignore command [22:35] ssta: well anyway, I tried to remount it on same path again, and it works now [22:35] and only once in mtab also [22:35] ah well [22:35] thx [22:35] :) [22:35] dupondje: yep. Although in my case it's twice in mtab. Wonder why yours was onl;y one...strange [22:35] dupondje. ubuntu is correct [22:36] ssta: do you concur? [22:36] mongy, yea, that's it [22:36] nabby: ubuntu is correct [22:36] montar: I have no idea what you're talking about [22:36] montar: please stop [22:36] ssta is a correct word.

[22:55] travisHAZE: i386 is the 32-bit, amd64 would be the 64-bit iso [22:56] meco: I just said [22:56] k figured, the amd64 part is a bit misleading [22:56] yourfriendisaac: and did the drive unmount [22:56] recon_lap deive wont mount or un mount unless drive is open at bootstart [22:56] !amd64 | travisHAZE [22:56] travisHAZE: AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu.

[23:05] jrib: is there a way to give the sudo -u the password without a prompt? [23:05] bencc: then give that user NOPASSWD for the specific command you are using I guess [23:05] bencc: you can probably do some nonsence with expect, but you don't want to do that [23:06] mongy that didnt work either just got man page even though I did command udisks --eject /dev/sr0 --- Eject failed: Error ejecting: eject exited with exit code 1: eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device [23:06] BTaylor927, Not that I know of but they do have a Ubuntu Precise channel.

I don't exactly understand why your current setup is requiring to do this. If you want to ignore my advice, read the "sudo" man page, it's there [23:10] mongy I dont understand dependinf?
