[00:00] is syncing when you plug a cable from the phone to the computer thetinyjesus ? .. i havent had to do that in years.. i wouldnt expect ubuntu to be able to do anything to "fix" iOS [00:00] fans* [00:00] thetinyjesus: because i believe in freedom [00:00] thetinyjesus, have you tried the "gnupd" package? [00:00] "gnupod" [00:00] Roxy`, I'll post a couple links I found: [00:01] holstein: i can get the ipod to mount, i can transfer the songs ON the ipod to my computer but if i try to sync a song to the iphone it says it works but doesn't show up on the iphone [00:01] thetinyjesus: there are solutions (see ubottu ) but i dont want to spent time to support unfree things (sorry) [00:01] thetinyjesus: it doesnt have to be anything personal... you can use what you like, and should... but dont expect unsupported OS's to be able to support the iOS platform [00:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308521 [00:01] cfhowlett, they are homemade...i want standard ubuntu icons [00:01] if I want a script to do several things do I just use the && statement to join all the commands that I would normally type @ the command line? [00:01] thetinyjesus: if we support something like apple-stuff there will never be a change with ther evil politic (itunes and so on) [00:01] diverdude: are you trying to install them in a NOT ubuntu OS?? [00:01] thetinyjesus, that's because the song has to be added to the daatabase in the iphone. which was one of the things gnupod used to take care of [00:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8246179 [00:02] iceroot: that wouldn't be for the worse, many people would be happen if they could loosen their grip a little [00:02] cfhowlett, homepage [00:02] happy* sorry im blazed [00:02] thetinyjesus: one of the first LUG presentations i hosted was about how to sync ipods in linux.. the presenter used banshee and several other tools with success [00:02] maybe one of those will hlep [00:02] thetinyjesus: the best would be "noone would use things which take away your freedom [00:03] diverdude: I think this is what you're seeking: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ [00:03] Roxy`: maybe richard stallman is sometimes very strange but he is right about what he is saying [00:03] chanserv [00:03] Roxy`: sorry wrong nick [00:03] thetinyjesus: ^ [00:03] diverdude: http://design.canonical.com/brand/Logos/ [00:04] iceroot: i've owned the HTC hero, evo, samsung galaxy S2, and vanilla android with their baby phone and none of them seemed to just work like the iphone [00:04] thetinyjesus: as i said, i dont like apple, i will not support there products [00:04] thetinyjesus: see @apple "think different" [00:04] thetinyjesus: and i will not support apple-stuff here === twisted`_ is now known as twisted` [00:04] iceroot: nor should we [00:04] thetinyjesus: see what ubottu tells you, the solution is there [00:05] thetinyjesus: but see the true, apple is evil because they take away your freedom, you cant use there products with everything and i dont see a reason why we should support it [00:05] thetinyjesus: but that is just my opinion and i am speaking not for #ubuntu [00:05] hii [00:05] thetinyjesus http://freecode.com/projects/gnupod [00:05] err, hate to buzzkill, but shouldn't this be in #ubuntu-offtopic? [00:06] hey people :) [00:06] don_ace: greetings [00:06] graft: freedom should be always ontopic :) [00:06] iceroot: i see your point, but i cannot express my feelings when i have a device that crashes or freezes from doing simple tasks [00:06] lehzeni: going to check it out now ty [00:06] kann wer deutsch [00:06] hallo leute [00:07] !de | don_ace [00:07] don_ace: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[00:07] iceroot: mayhap, but channel bandwidth is limited, and this channel does have a purpose [00:07] thetinyjesus: you looked the links from ubottu ? [00:07] iceroot, just to put things in perspective, offering support using apple products with ubuntu here would not necessarily be promoting apple, but rather providing a service to those who wish to migrate towards open solutions (such as android and ubuntu) but currently have apple devices [00:07] iceroot: yeah i've been checking everywhere possible for days [00:08] dragonfly: i dont see why people should migrate if we help them to use there unfree stuff [00:08] Is there a way to make Ibus to work with Opera browser? [00:08] can anyone help me [00:08] thetinyjesus: ok [00:08] im searching for a social channel in german [00:08] !ask | don_ace [00:08] don_ace: 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).

Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [00:09] iceroot ftw! :) [00:09] omg [00:09] iceroot: the problem is as of right now they only know how the library system works in ios 4.3.5 and under they haven't figured out 5.0 yet and of course the iphone 4s will not go back to ios 4 [00:09] this bot is a god [00:09] omfg [00:09] hou epic is this bot programmed [00:09] :OOO [00:09] never seen before [00:09] thetinyjesus: then i guess you cant use your apple-stuff with ubuntu [00:09] can anyone help me ? [00:10] don_ace: read what ubottu told you about "alis" [00:10] iceroot: i figured thats why i partitioned windows with another media partition for music/movies so i can download everything on linux and when needed sync with win7 [00:10] wtf [00:10] i dont understand [00:10] by [00:10] !enter|don_ace [00:10] don_ace: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[00:10] !ask|don_ace [00:10] don_ace: 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 [00:11] iceroot: i just recently started linux like two weeks ago i'm not that great yet just getting the feel of it but so far i love it, no crashes got all hardware working and enjoying how you can customize literally everything [00:11] iceroot, I'm referring to if someone has say an iPod touch...perhaps they are interested in switching from windows to ubuntu....if they can still use the device they currently have (iphone, touch, etc) it can put a taste in their mouth for the free stuff and perhaps their next device will be android....but if they can't even do something as simple as use their ipod with ubuntu then why woudl they want to continue using ubuntu because every [00:11] thing "just works" with their ipod and windows [00:11] How would I configure Ubuntu to use a static IP (like 192.168.1.1) or something? [00:12] ethtool [00:12] dragonfly: its just my opinion and maybe you are right but i will never support using apple-products (on ubuntu or somewhere else) [00:12] thetinyjesus: maybe you can move this sync up into an account.. you should ask in the apple channels about how that would work... i use google music on my android phone.. everything is synced over the internet [00:12] .....the issue is not whether ubuntu has an obligation to support apple products, but rather that perhaps the "community" should step-up and fill in a void where apple refuses to cooperate and be of any help whatsoever [00:12] dragonfly: thats why you do what i did and just partition the drive so you save all your media there and dual boot win/linux and both OS can share that partition [00:13] dragonfly: and when needed for the one or two tasks linux cannot work with at the moment, you have a backup plan [00:13] thetinyjesus, i agree and I have used a similar solution myself, but for the less technical user, it would be better if that was unnecessary...imo [00:13] dragonfly: agree im not a computer tech or anything just really a hobby on the side i enjoy [00:14] hi folks [00:14] Hi [00:14] holstein: hey man can you point me into the right direction which server/channel for that? [00:16] iceroot, I have a similar philosophy in that I don't necessarily like apple products and wouldn't recommend or promote their use....however, I will "support" their use (to whatever limited extent I can) on Ubuntu simply by way of if someone has an ipod they should still be won over to Ubuntu [00:17] dragonfly: you can access NTFS from Ubuntu so just have your NTFS mount at boot and symlink to the folder [00:17] dragonfly: and i thing the only way to stop this products is not to support them and dont help people to use something like that [00:17] dragonfly: I'm the same way about apple + support. I hate apple [00:17] dragonfly: but as i said, this is just my opinion and not everyone would like that opinion and of course everyone is free to help others on that topic [00:18] ActionParsnip: the problem is apple doesn't just say put the artist in a folder like you would think, the folder name along with song title are all coded in numbers [00:18] thetinyjesus: afaik rhythmnbox does something magical, I believe amarok can manage them too [00:19] dragonfly: and the main-reason why i am using GNU/Linux is not because its free (as in free beer) not because its "cool" just because its FREE (as in free speech) [00:19] ActionParsnip: i can view EVERYTHING on my iphone but have no friggin clue what the song is, and yes i can transfer the songs INTO rhythmnbox but i cannot transfer back onto the iphone [00:19] !free [00:19] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [00:19] thetinyjesus, if you had a separate ipod (any model) for music, you could convert it to RockBox firmware, which is superior and much easier to use from linux [00:19] lehzeni: i would do it if it wasn't my phone lol i cant risk that [00:20] thetinyjesus, that's why I said a separate ipod [00:20] thetinyjesus: could always run Windows in the closed source virtualbox. If companies don't support Linux I suggest you don't buy their kit [00:20] ActionParsnip: +1 [00:20] thetinyjesus: Kodak also refuse to support Linux [00:21] thetinyjesus: as do Logitech [00:21] kodak = bankrupt [00:21] ActionParsnip: kodak sucks and is about to go under cant see why they wouold [00:21] thetinyjesus: its an example [00:21] what package for flash? [00:21] i often wonder what companies gain or save by not supporting linux...especially hardware manufacturers [00:22] shit be crashing like crazy!! [00:22] ActionParsnip: i know but a bad decision haha, btw i never ran virtual box does it work off an existing windows install or is it like booting into a live cd [00:22] !flash|dies_irae [00:22] dies_irae: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:22] gnash?? lolololol!! [00:22] dies_irae: please mind your language [00:22] thetinyjesus, does your iphone allow you to import *free* music without using itunes store? [00:22] installing nonfree virtualbox with windows (licence needed) to add music to a phone....... [00:23] lehzeni: well i [00:23] lehzeni: you mean like torrented music and putting it on without using itunes? [00:23] thetinyjesus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnUrqcD4W_M [00:23] no, I meant legally free music [00:24] hmm closest to that was downloaded mixtapes off datpiff.com [00:24] dies_irae: if you run PPC or ARM cpu you will need it (or another alternative) [00:24] they are legal [00:24] cfhowlett: that does not tell how to upgrade [00:24] Need assistance with a Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit install [00:24] lehzeni: http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=legal%20torrents&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CEIQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.legittorrents.info%2F&ei=tsAxT4nDKojDhAeNy7CQBQ&usg=AFQjCNHeJSJlEf-iz3LEnaAONa4LJ_lPlg [00:24] ActionParsnip: no flash for ppc or arm? [00:24] iceroot: not as far as I knw [00:24] so the phone itself was able to import the mp3 (or whatever) files? [00:24] How much space does Ubuntu 11.10 take up on a hard drive compared to Windows XP? [00:25] dies_irae: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash [00:25] Anyone know any iso to usb software out there? [00:25] ryan__: my full unity install is about 3.something Gb [00:25] ryan__: 4-7GB [00:25] ryan__: with all the codecs and office you can want [00:25] Roxy`: startup disk creator comes with buntu [00:25] ryan__, ubuntu about 2.7 gigs stock XP as in ##windows [00:25] can someone tell me if something looks funky http://pastebin.com/bHDQuRnT with my hd's configuration so I can reinstall grub [00:25] cfhowlett: thanks i will check it out when i get back have to leave in a minute [00:25] hi [00:25] ask* [00:26] cfhowlett: Thats for if I want to put ubuntu on another computer... [00:26] cfhowlett: btw how do i open the link easy? im using weechat [00:26] dog: ask away [00:26] cfhowlett: I don't want to put ubuntu on another computer, this is for awhole other operating system. [00:26] Roxy`: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=unetbootin&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Funetbootin.sourceforge.net%2F&ei=RsExT8SPHbL-iQKRwszMCg&usg=AFQjCNFG2iJy14ueI6PKA0HBkn1cP-KoBg&cad=rja [00:27] every now and then my mouse doesn't work properly - the cursor moves but I can't click anything. it's a g5 mouse connected to my laptop. also is there any way to disable/reenable touchpad when a mouse is connected/disconnected? [00:27] Roxy`: sorry ...unetbootin [00:27] cfhowlett: annoying isn't it [00:27] cfhowlett: duckduckgo doesn't do that :) [00:27] Unetbootin? Really? It'll burn a windows iso to a usb? [00:27] ActionParsnip: fatfingerinputerror [00:27] tried 3 downloads and burned 3 different disks but my quad core, 64-bit Acer gets a little way into the install and quits with a black screen [00:27] Last I tried it made a linux startup LOL [00:27] Roxy`: it doesn't 'burn' it per se. It just transfers the files and add a boot loader [00:27] x64 [00:27] I do have it in the sources [00:28] dog: what video chip do you use? [00:28] ActionParsnip: That's the problem. I don't need unetbootin to give the windows iso a LINUX bootloader LOL! It never worked that way [00:28] Roxy`: windows has a usb burn tool you know...(forgive Sir Stallman for the heresy I'm about to commit: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool) [00:29] AMD Radeon???? [00:29] hologram android uu [00:29] ActionParsnip: So basically, Oneiric takes up more space than Windows XP? [00:29] ;) [00:29] ryan__: no [00:29] !next White Collar [00:29] finish06: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:29] I can't stand ubuntu anymore... It never has the drivers you need so I am going back to Windows 7 Ultimate XD [00:29] ryan__: but ubuntu does come with additional software windows does not so you cant comapre [00:30] hologram android Cool [00:30] Roxy`, why not try a different distro first, or maybe a even a different nix? [00:30] hologram [00:30] iceroot: I just looked up how much space XP takes up online, and it appears XP takes up about 2 gb, while Ubuntu 11.10 takes up 4-7 gb of available hard drive space. [00:30] Roxy`: at least the money for the license isn't going to waste then [00:30] parsnip: it loaded up 10.04 LTS without problems. running it now [00:30] ryan__: and i told you why [00:31] im trying to install zsnes through synaptic but its telling me that it wants to remove other packages like ubuntu-desktop, vlc and devede, why is this happening? [00:31] ryan__: a little but if you install office, DVD playback and ALL the other apps in XP you are going to start pushin past the 10Gb mark easilyt [00:31] ryan__: e.g. ubuntu has a office suite, pdf viewer and so one [00:32] ryan__: a stock install is pretty small, only a coule of Gbs [00:32] *couple [00:32] ryan__: so your comparison is flawed [00:32] ryan__: so you cant compare the 2gb from xp with the 4-7 gb from ubuntu [00:32] anyone here able to help with a booting issue? [00:32] cfhowlett: You gave a usb/iso piece of software from microsoft and I am stuck in linux LOL! Nice. [00:32] dog: add the boot option: nomodeset [00:32] Thanks, ActionParsnip and iceroot! [00:32] Roxy`: try dd, maybe the ms isos can handle it [00:33] I just need something that will "burn" the iso to the usb drive [00:33] Roxy`: try dd, maybe the ms isos can handle it [00:33] Roxy`: no dvd drive? [00:33] lehzeni: On a netbook. [00:33] dog: the video timings have moved inside the kernel in the newer versions and sometimes the option is needed. The newer version with its differing kernel is why you are having the problem. [00:34] Thanks AP. I'll drop out of here and give it a try. [00:34] stevecam: that is very strange and should not be happening [00:34] Roxy`: do netbooks have usb ports? [00:34] alguem do brasil [00:34] hologrmas free at [00:34] !br|antunes [00:34] antunes: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [00:34] Roxy`: unetbootin will put the ISO on a USB stick or SD card etc and allow you to then install Ubuntu from it [00:34] lehzeni: I had windows 7 starter on it at first, and I don't know what made me want to put Ubuntu on it and I have a long history of having hell with linux and drivers. And yes netbooks have usb ports XD [00:34] cfhowlett, is it possible to just prevent this? [00:34] Roxy`: there are a lot of fine usb dvd drives [00:34] lehzeni: ive never seen a netbook without usb ports [00:34] ActionParsnip: I am trying to get AWAY from ubuntu not put it on there, thats what am stuck with [00:35] XD [00:35] stevecam: installing via software center??? [00:35] synaptic [00:35] I know I should ask to ask questions, but aI have a security question for Ubuntu 11.10. Should I ask it here or is there a deticated security channel? [00:35] **shouldn't [00:35] Roxy`: you could setup a PXE server and install over network. The usb install is a LOT quicker [00:35] Canadian1296: you found a security issue? [00:35] Stygian, whats going on? [00:35] iceroot: No, i have a question about making my install more secure [00:35] Canadian1296: oneiric is supported here, ask away [00:35] Canadian1296: then use this channel [00:36] urlin2u, I just installed 11.10 on my samsung rv520 laptop and when it reboots it won't boot off hard drive I get the bios boot menu [00:36] and when I choose for it to boot off the hdd it just reboots back to the boot menu [00:36] cfhowlett, im using a 64-bit machine if that makes any difference, an i7 [00:36] stevecam: screenshot @ http://imagebin.org/?page=add [00:36] Stygian, you have more then one HD? Did you install from windows 2 questions here [00:36] no and no [00:36] it's a laptop === mike is now known as Guest90492 [00:37] Stygian, you install using a usb and have you tried to see if it got the grub bootlader rather the laptop? [00:38] Roxy`: sorry. the idea was you burning it to a usb dvd burner and then booting the microsoft install from the burner [00:38] then* [00:38] urlin2u, I installed via dvd/cd [00:38] and what you mean if it got the grub bootloader rather the laptop [00:39] Stygian, easiest way to getto the bottom of this is with a script I will trigger the boot to give you the links [00:39] !bootscript > Stygian [00:39] !boot [00:39] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [00:40] Stygian, sorry here it is. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [00:40] Alright, I'm messing around with installing Ubuntu in virtualbox (Mac OS X Lion host) so I can get comfortable with the process (im installing it on a second computer im getting soon). Just wondering, currently I have a /boot partition, and an encrypted lvm partition (with swap, / (system), and /home virtual partitions on it). How would I put the boot partition on an external source (ex. a usb) so the computer won't boot without [00:40] attached? Yes, the whole setup is paranoid, I'm just trying to learn [00:40] Hi there, there is something wrong with Evolution, I already tried restarting the computer. How do I delete the temporary files (excluding the whole mailbox)? [00:40] cfhowlett, http://imagebin.org/197841 [00:41] leeping: what is the 'something wrong' with evolution you're trying to fix? [00:41] !broken | leeping [00:41] leeping: Saying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail. [00:41] h00k, when I click on the listing of message titles, the message does not appear in the preview pane. [00:41] Stygian, the bootscript is what you want pastebin the results text made from running it. [00:41] Canadian1296: the default install is pretty well setup. Just stick to using sudo when needed and you'll be ok === uplink is now known as dcosta [00:42] stevecam: what version of ubuntu are you running? [00:42] I already asked how to delete the temporary files, that was my proposed fix :) [00:42] Canadian1296: you could use ufw to configure a firewall etc [00:42] cfhowlett, 11.10 [00:43] ActionParsnip: Okay I'll do both, any other tips? I'm looking for over the top paranoid security here :P [00:43] leeping: bleachbit ran as root and user can clear temp files well, watch settings for apps and avoid options which say they will take a long time [00:43] hi [00:43] Canadian1296: could use tor proxy if your tinfoil hat collection is vast [00:43] dd? whats dd? [00:43] a cli command [00:43] stevecam: NO WAY should a game emulator (ZNES) require this kind of configuration. IDK WHY it's requesting what you see, but something is VERY wrong. DO NOT proceed. But if have to have ZNES, install it inside a virtual machine in Virtual box. [00:43] urlin2u ok give me a few minutes [00:44] Stygian, cool. :) [00:44] stevecam: zsnes is on the playonlinux ppa, dead easy to install [00:44] ActionParsnip, I will try that, thank you :) [00:44] ActionParsnip: is there any way to force all outgoing connections through tor, or would I have to manually configure every application? [00:44] leeping: have as many apps CLOSED as you can to unlock files, [00:44] lehzeni: Is there a gui program I use to burn an iso the usb drive? [00:44] looks like human error [00:44] ActionParsnip: assuming you use 32bit, for 64bit zsnes is a big "issue". I stopped using it. [00:44] Roxy``: for example "dd if=infile of=/dev/sdx bs=1M count=filesize" [00:44] Canadian1296: there are guides online but you can make it the system wide setting [00:45] okay, ill google it [00:45] Canadian1296: why so paranoid? [00:45] zykotick9: its the 'advised' install so I'll take a punt :) [00:45] ActionParsnip, evolution isn't on here. :) [00:45] hologrmas free at [00:45] tecnopoly_cl: stop [00:45] wait [00:45] leeping: dang [00:45] Roxy``: you don't need a gui program to do it. Don't know if it will boot that way though [00:45] Hi, can someone tell me how to increase and decrease luminosity because the "Fn" buttons do not work ? [00:45] ok [00:45] never mind, it was automatically hidden [00:45] hold on [00:46] clue [00:46] hello [00:46] leeping: have evolution closed first and READ everything so you can see what you are using [00:46] I'm getting Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration every time i boot 11.10 after an upgrade [00:46] after that the netowrk wors though [00:46] works [00:46] JPeterson: wired or wireless? [00:46] ActionParsnip: Cause I can be :P I'm setting this up in virtualbox, which isnt ideal, but I just want to learn as much about security like this as I can. Better to be too paranoid than not paranoid enough :) [00:46] wired [00:46] lehzeni: Just need a way to burn the iso to the usb drive. The windows 7 ultimate iso. I don't need a bootloader at all. My machine will automatically read it and boot from it. [00:46] acmeinc1: [00:46] ActionParsnip: [00:46] JPeterson: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:46] do you have any interfaces configured that timeout? [00:46] joe_____: i'll check [00:47] JPeterson: is the cable ok? Have you tried a different port on the router? [00:47] cfhowlett, would it be possible it be the conflicts with the x86 and the 64bit libs? or does it not happen like that [00:47] JPeterson: have you tried setting manual IP on the interface? [00:47] ActionParsnip: i'll try [00:47] ActionParsnip, the problem appears to be fixed :) [00:47] thank you so much. [00:47] Roxy``: then "dd if=infile of=/dev/sdx bs=1M count=filesize", where sdx is the sd name of the usb drive and filesize is the number of megabytes round up [00:47] stevecam: as good as an explanation as any...IDK [00:48] leeping: np man, bleachbit is powerful but it can delete a lot of stuff you want (like firefox configs for example) [00:48] lehzeni: will need sudo too ;) [00:48] lol ok i think my safest bet would be like you said, ruin it in an emulator [00:48] Right - hopefully it only deletes what it says :) [00:48] I do important things like that from root :) [00:48] lehzeni: Linux/Ubuntu is a bitch. XD I'll go with windows any day. LOL! [00:48] stevecam: go for it. [00:48] stevecam: i used to love zsnes, but you should consider it a 32bit only program. Look for an alternative. [00:49] Roxy``: please go to ##windows [00:49] Roxy``: thats fine, we don't need telling [00:49] why zyk? do you really need 64 bits to emulate 16? [00:49] Roxy`` u poor misguided mouse clikerer. [00:49] Roxy``: then just bring up a terminal window and try that dd command (with sudo I guess) [00:49] gms: no need that here [00:49] zykotick9, synatpic doesnt come up with anything else when i type in snes [00:50] Roxy``: why you won't use unetbootin is anyones guess, you are making the whole process harder for yourself. Go figure [00:50] oh humer is not allowed? [00:50] ActionParsnip: +1 [00:50] iceroot ??? [00:50] gms: humour [00:50] ActionParsnip: humor [00:51] stevecam: perhaps ubuntu doesn't have another option? you might want to go beyond the ubuntu walls on this one. [00:51] gms: feeding the trolls is not allowed in here [00:51] Ben64: its french based, so it has the u in [00:51] SNES9x is aiight [00:52] as an aside, unetbootin never yields positive results for me [00:52] it should be in apt repos [00:52] is "sudo aptitude install --without-recommends ubuntu-desktop" the best way to install a gui without all the extras, or is there a better way? [00:52] unetbootin is fine, just build from iso [00:52] the builtin auto stuff is wacky [00:52] Canadian1296: sudo apt-get install lxde lightdm works here :) [00:52] i was trying to be funny. obvously its not allowed here [00:52] joe_____: yeah doesn't work [00:53] ActionParsnip: Okay, thanks :) [00:53] i use the server install and then put KDE on it [00:53] joe_____: why not just install kubuntu? [00:53] too bloated [00:54] joe_____: the minimal ISO has an option for a minimal kde afaik [00:54] joe_____, um... "bloated" how? [00:54] for me, not that it is bad or anything [00:54] 1.8 MB/sec XD lovely download speed [00:54] XD [00:54] lot's of apps i dont need or use [00:54] lots* [00:54] joe_____, the minimal installation might be better for ya, actually [00:54] hello [00:54] the other issue is LVM [00:54] it doesnt come with extra crap [00:54] s/extra/lots of extra/ [00:54] Roxy``: usb thumbdrives aren't the fastest [00:54] server makes LVM easier [00:54] and i use preseed options [00:54] marabi2: greetings [00:55] im weird... [00:55] ActionParsnip: how do i know what eth# I have? [00:55] for "iface eth# inet dhcp" [00:55] lehzeni: Long as I get windows 7 ultimate back on these laptops thats fine LOL! [00:55] sudo /sbin/ifconfig -a [00:55] hey how are you doing cfhowlett? [00:55] is there a way to get the changelog from a package "foo" from another ubuntu-release? e.g. something like "apt-get changelog foo -r natty" something like that i am searching for (without editing my sources.list) [00:56] JPeterson: sudo lshw -C network will tell you [00:56] marabi2: you have a question for us? [00:56] lehzeni: I just have to go through the hell of putting everything back on it again [00:56] JPeterson: type "ifconfig", it will tell you what you've got [00:56] Roxy``: that's all? [00:56] ActionParsnip: thx [00:56] no i don"t [00:56] Another question… How do I put the /boot partition on a seperate drive (like removable usb) instead of on the main harddrive? I have no problem with doing a fresh install if necessary. [00:56] !home|canadian1296 [00:56] canadian1296: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [00:56] boot? [00:57] Canadian1296: why would you want to? [00:57] cfhowlett: /home != /root [00:57] i dont that's a good idea canadian [00:57] cfhowlett: sorry s/root/boot/ [00:57] a partition for boot, yes [00:57] Canadian1296: dd /boot to the other drive [00:57] zykotick9: you're right. /retracting highly questionable "advice" [00:57] ActionParsnip: Yep! I migrated from Windows 7 starter on the netbook to ubuntu and killed 4 hours looking for drivers and stuff I couldn't find.. And when I was in Windows I had no trouble, which I am STILL trying to wonder what made me switch. -_- === cnz- is now known as Stygian [00:58] Ben64: I'm just experimenting in virtualbox, so it doesnt matter how bad I mess things up. I'm just wondering if its possible. [00:58] moving /boot seems like a great way to break a system [00:58] Roxy``: please go to ##windows [00:58] urlin2u I can't download that file [00:58] everytime I connect the laptop it locks up my router [00:58] Ben64: agreed [00:58] ActionParsnip: the problem was that my eth2 was renamed eth0 after the upgrade, with /etc/network/interfaces left unchanged [00:58] it is possible, but it will break easily Canadian [00:58] say you loose the usb drive [00:58] Stygian, you need to do it on a live ubuntu cd. [00:58] urlin2u I k now [00:59] you'll have to recreate boot and install grub natively [00:59] I am booted into a live ubuntu cd [00:59] Stygian, can you share why. [00:59] and it's locking up my router when it connects to the network [00:59] JPeterson: was this a VM install at one point? UDEV will change the /dev/ethX if the MAC address has changed. [00:59] Roxy``: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/downloadspeed.JPG 50Mb link :) [00:59] zykotick9: it's a vm install now [00:59] Roxy``: 100% of my hardware works out of the box [00:59] joe___: Assuming I don't loose the usb drive, how would I go about doing it? [00:59] **lose [00:59] Stygian: number one cause of locked up routers is duplex-mismatch [01:00] Why is it I have issues playing a google voice message and getting an occasional white screen when looking at google maps while using Chrome (daily) and or Chromium? Firefox just keep chugging along with no issues. [01:00] JPeterson: there is some way to reset the UDEV rule, sorry i haven't had to do it, so don't know the specifics [01:00] Stygian, not sure why iot is justa web link. [01:00] JPeterson: you can edit the system so it gets named to eth0 [01:00] zykotick9: thx [01:00] it* [01:00] ActionParsnip: ok [01:00] JPeterson, look in /etc/udev/rules.d [01:00] urlin2u, are yuou not reading what I type all the way [01:00] joe_____: thx [01:00] JPeterson: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1393346 [01:00] you should have something like 70-net-persistent.rules [01:00] the file cannot be downloaded because I cannot connect the laptop to the internet [01:00] when I do it locks up my router [01:01] just delete all lines after the comment block [01:01] lehzeni duplex-mismatch? [01:01] Stygian, yes it helps when you use my nic though. [01:01] My USB headset (logitech h555) sounds super quiet under Ubuntu. Increasing the volume above 100% just blows it out and it still sounds quiet. Can I change which driver it uses to perhaps a generic one? [01:01] ActionParsnip: I even had the partition from the HP factory to restore my original os back but ubuntu took that XD [01:01] and reboot [01:01] tylerl: same model but not the problems... [01:01] tylerl: install pavcontrol and check the levels through that.. it was my answer [01:01] Stygian: duplex is usually caused by the net card set to full-duplex and the router being only half-duplex [01:02] Hi all! Help please! [01:02] sure thing! [01:02] tylerl: might have to manually change your sound preferences/hardware/input/output [01:02] * cjaredrun gives a serving of help to Toftor [01:02] Stygian, we are going to have problems working together I can tell so good luck others will help you. :) [01:02] ActionParsnip: LOL!

[01:05] Toftor: your backups will be a much better way too [01:05] ActionParsnip: I mean not a hard or sym link, a link that leads to the path [01:05] why do you need a hard link, JPete? ln is for hard ln -s is soft [01:05] Toftor: what do you mean by recover? [01:05] how recover!?!?!? [01:06] (like a windows .lnk if that helps) [01:06] Toftor, what do you mean by logical partition? Do you mean LVM LV>? [01:06] How to recover a logical partition?

[01:07] hi, does anyone know how to restore notify-osd as the default? I installed xubuntu-desktop and know the xfce notifier is used even while on a unity session [01:08] JPeterson: yes, a symlink will do exactly that [01:08] you can create a symlink soft and it will do that JPete === Gskellig is now known as gskellig|mobile [01:08] Toftor: why do you not have a backup? [01:08] JPeterson: doesn't nautilus have bookmarks? And a symlink does sound like what you want.

Use a symlink. [01:09] !server|_marcus [01:09] _marcus: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [01:09] <_Marcus> Besides Ubuntu Server [01:09] _Marcus: server or minimal [01:10] joe_____, yeah it's a secret not available on the web. [01:10] nothing really logical about that, unless it is LVM [01:10] <_Marcus> I need to compile something, I just dont want GUI [01:10] <_Marcus> And I tried server [01:10] !mini|_marcus [01:10] _marcus: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:10] <_Marcus> Doesn't work [01:10] _Marcus: add the boot option: text and it will not load the desktop [01:10] <_Marcus> How do I do that? [01:10] _Marcus: you can then remove it and boot the desktop as normal [01:10] i know of LPARs, but that is way different [01:11] _Marcus: add it in /etc/default/grub in the quotes with: quiet splash then run: sudo update-grub reboot to test [01:11] ActionParsnip: that brings me to ~/Desktop/Pictures not $HOME/Pictures [01:11] cfhowlett: You said yo uhave the h555 headphones? Do you have the version where you can unplug the headphone/microphone line from the USB box, or do you have the newer one where you can't disconnect it? [01:11] ahh, i get it logical partion is windows terminology...no wonder [01:11] lol [01:11] tylerl: USB plu [01:12] exit [01:12] JPeterson: yes, but the data is the same data, the path gets modified due to the link [01:12] cfhowlett: they both have USB plug -- can you unplug your headset FROM the usb box? so the headphones can stand alone? [01:12] <_Marcus> Where can I get the torrent of Ubuntu? [01:12] ubuntu.com _Marcus [01:12] joe_____: logical paritions are NOT a windows term [01:12] JPeterson: if you want the true path you can make a launcher to run something like: nautilus ~/Pictures and it will work as you expect [01:12] tylerl: ah. no [01:13] cfhowlett: the reason why I ask is my older ones work fine, but my newer ones (same model number, different design) are quiet. [01:13] _Marcus: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [01:14] tylerl: is there hardware volume control [01:14] cfhowlett: yes.

IDK why it's acting like that === cnz- is now known as Stygian [01:15] urlin2u http://pastebin.com/dtFZsmqv [01:15] that's the boot script results [01:15] sup ppl [01:17] Stygian, did you make a separate home for ubuntu or install it to one partition [01:17] I made three partitions /boot / and /home [01:17] urlin2u, I made three partitions /boot / and /home [01:19] stygian idea, just reinstall it in one partition is my advice since it is a fresh install. No boot partition is needed, and ubuntu is setup theses days for a single partition install unless you have to have home separate for upgrades or change of releases, but this is just my opinion === scarface is now known as Guest4594 [01:20] So how is the dd going, Roxy`` ? [01:20] urlin2u, I like to have /home on a seperate partion just incase os needs to be installed, I don't have to worry about losing everything in /home or need to do a backup [01:20] Stygian, if you had a windows OS it is missing boot stuff now as well. === andrea is now known as Guest81802 [01:20] ActionParsnip: ok thx [01:21] yes I had windows on the drive first [01:21] Stygian, never have installed that way so I can't really give advice there. [01:21] but deleted the partitions then made new ones and formatted them [01:21] what is the sudo apt-get install exact command for these requirements? +Dom +exif +ftp +gd2 +hash +iconv +xml +mbstring +mysql +pcre +SimpleXML +sockets +xsl +zlib +mail +mcrypt +pdo +CURL +JSON +gettext ? [01:21] There is like 1,000 people in here. [01:22] Stygian: what if the drive motor fails? [01:22] Stygian, sda3 is the windows boot partition I believe [01:22] urlin2u, no that's the system repair [01:22] to restore the laptop to factory [01:22] There's def going to be spam in this room [01:22] Hi, does anyone have time to answer a few questions for a newbie looking to sharpen up his skills? [01:22] Tasmania, actual support question? [01:23] Tasmania: with spambots and floodbots and ops. I would be suprised [01:23] Stygian, ah I see the recovery, now that will be a challenge to get to work. [01:23] Poliwag: why not? [01:23] cordoval, tab-complete them [01:23] Stygian: you do have re-installation media, right?? [01:23] bazhang: it is very ambiguous [01:23] anyone know a commandthat will display the ip address on a remote ssh user? [01:23] cfhowlett, yeah but none of the drivers or the software the pc comes with [01:23] hey guys, i'm having some trouble trying to kickstart a box. i have a preseed.cfg that works fine in lucid, but gets stuck at partman in oneiric [01:23] which is not a big deal really [01:23] the preseed is at http://ennui.org/preseed.cfg.txt [01:24] cordoval, it's something you can answer, not a single answer applies [01:24] like ~ sudo apt-get install zlib [01:24] zlib1g zlib1g-dbg zlib1g-dev zlib-bin zlibc zlib-gst [01:24] Stygian: you have to request it from the OEM company. If you're dual booting, I highly recommend it.

[01:24] How do i got about getting started in joining an open source project? [01:24] Poliwag, this is support really. [01:24] cfhowlett, I have the recovery disc [01:24] that they send out [01:24] cordoval, tell the channel exactly what you are trying to achieve first [01:24] and im not going to dual boot [01:24] it's going to be a 100% linux desktop laptop [01:25] Stygian: not the same thing - but ok [01:25] bazhang: just getting the exact command for ubuntu for fulfilling this requirement here https://docs.phraseanet.com/en/Admin/Prerequisite.html [01:25] !contribute > Poliwag [01:25] Poliwag, please see my private message === a is now known as Guest77817 [01:25] cordoval, to achieve what exactly [01:25] Stygian, better pray that, that recovery will trigger the recovery on the HD if thats your plan in the end [01:25] to be able to install the software phraseanet [01:26] https://docs.phraseanet.com/en/Admin/Prerequisite.html [01:26] vmsync is not running after 11.10 upgrade [01:26] urlin2u, whys that? worse case is like cfhowlett said order the cd from samsung [01:26] Stygian: I triple boot. Ordered ALL the install media from Dell and killed the recovery partition. [01:26] test [01:27] !test | Guest77817 [01:27] Guest77817: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [01:27] Stygian, a install disc is what you want a oem without the extra stuff is best. [01:27] hi guys.. quick ques: did they ever finish ubuntu service panel 3? i have searched everywhere [01:27] urlin2u that's what i already have [01:28] I think I will do what cfhowlett suggestioned, order the media disc from samsung and just wipe all partitions [01:28] Chucky_Luciano, you mean for 10.04 ? [01:28] Stygian, cool you called it a recovery and uyou have a recovery on the hd do you see the difficulty in interpreting your sistuation or intentions. [01:28] There's def going to be spam [01:28] in the end Stygian [01:28] For anyone who wasn't here before, I'm doing this in virtualbox so I don't have to worry about messing up. I was reading a forum online and someone mentioned dual booting (both linux), with a fully encrypted drive and decryption keys on a different drive. If no key drive is available it boots to one the first os, and the other one isnt available as it is still completely encrypted. If the key drive is plugged in, it decrypts the [01:28] boots to it. (note the plausable deniability) [01:28] Tasmania, dont add to it [01:28] Any pointers about how to do this? [01:29] Canadian1296: true, you can make a backup of your disk image and restore if things go screwy [01:29] urlin2u, yees because there's a restore partition and also a restore cd [01:29] dunno why they gave me both [01:29] ActionParsnip: Exactly. Anyway I want to try that. Any ideas on how? [01:29] Hey I'm getting a window - Unlock Private Key -- Enter password to unlock the private key [01:30] any ideas? [01:30] Stygian, I just clone stuff a oem dic most likely will overwrite the whole disc a clone will install what you had same size. [01:30] Canadian1296: no idea. I steer clear of encrypted drive nonesense, too many headaches [01:30] bazhang, dont matter really... i am using mint 11 right now which is based on ubuntu 11.04, and i installed ubuntu system panel 2.01-00, its the latest one i could find... the mint menu is based on that, but U.S.P. has better customization [01:30] kah_: on boot?? [01:30] ActionParsnip: Okay, thanks anyways [01:30] Anyone else? [01:30] Chucky_Luciano: mint isn't supported here [01:30] Chucky_Luciano, check in mint support [01:30] but no transparency in v2... screenshots and videos showing usp3 show transparency [01:30] cfhowlett: just trying to install github [01:30] !mint > Chucky_Luciano [01:30] Chucky_Luciano, please see my private message [01:30] !mint | Chucky_Luciano [01:30] Chucky_Luciano: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[01:31] Almost 1,500 [01:31] fine ill leave [01:31] Chucky_Luciano, mint has many differences we dont want to kno [01:31] yes it does marcus [01:31] Tasmania, yes thats right. no need to count as they come and go [01:31] Tasmania: come here the day after release, thats when it gets really jumping [01:31] Just, 1,496 [01:32] guys, i'm having some trouble trying to kickstart a box. i have a preseed.cfg that works fine in lucid, but gets stuck at partman in oneiric. the preseed is at http://ennui.org/preseed.cfg.txt [01:32] its not like i was asking a question about mint at all [01:32] i was asking a questrion about ubuntu, and about an ubunt package [01:32] Tasmania, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic not here [01:32] <_Marcus> Chucky_Luciano: Either way, Mint has an IRC chat [01:32] Chucky_Luciano, packages.ubuntu.com and take a look [01:32] !mint|chuck_luciano [01:32] chuck_luciano: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:33] and if i have a question about mint i will ask it in there.. i was asking a question about ubuntu system panel [01:33] I am about to use wine to get a program called isotousb to burn the iso to the usb will wine have trouble noticing my usb drive? [01:33] thanks for the help guys [01:33] Sorry if I was annoying you guys [01:33] Roxy``: why, unetbootin and usb-creator are available an NATIVE [01:33] Roxy``, no need for that, use the usb creator or unetbootin [01:33] I don't know who diconnected my account. [01:33] Roxy``: why use some windows app via wine, makes no sense at all [01:34] Is there a channel relating to general linux security? [01:34] Tasmania, lets stop it, you haven't stopped yet [01:34] rone-, at what part you got stuck ? [01:34] ^ what? [01:34] Roxy``: thats about as smart as downloading firefox and thunderbord from the web and runnning those in wine [01:34] unetbootin made a linux booter and left the option "Defeult" and I tried to go through to it and it just keeps throwing me back to the same screen for the windows iso [01:34] !ot | Tasmania [01:34] Tasmania: #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! [01:34] Tasmania, chatter goes there. here is support ONLY [01:34] bazhang, What did you mean? [01:34] Roxy``: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [01:35] !trolling [01:35] Oer, it doesn't automatically use the whole disk. it asks me what i want to do instead. [01:35] I'm not a troll. [01:35] on lucid it just goes. [01:35] whats the command used to start ratpoison? Im using ubuntu 11.10 if it matters. [01:35] Where do I go for chatter bazhang? [01:35] Tasmania: #ubuntu+1 [01:35] I just want to make sure I'm not annoying you guys. [01:36] ok [01:36] #ubuntu-offtopic <----------------- Tasmania [01:36] Tasmania: you can chat about anything in there you like :) [01:36] ActionParsnip, thats not correct [01:36] Tasmania, sorry to late no soup for you. :) [01:36] Alright bye. [01:36] bazhang: its close enough to the truth as is needed ;) [01:36] lol [01:36] rone-, looks clean and valid to me, so i wonder .. [01:37] Oer, me too. it is frustrating [01:37] Grr lost system bell on upgrade [01:37] this is starting to piss me off it will work upgrade gone again, then it comes back for no reason [01:38] Bsims: which DE? [01:39] usb-creator won't even notice the windows iso but it sure in hell picks up on the ubuntu iso though. [01:39] Roxy``: great isnt it :) [01:39] ActionParsnip: Pretty fucked up if you asked me. [01:39] LOL [01:39] rosseaux: usb-creator is ubuntu only [01:39] Roxy``, usb creator is for ubuntu only basically [01:39] hi I am getting a compilation error [01:39] compiling a php module undefined reference to `mysql_server_init' [01:39] Roxy``: it being for ubuntu only and not windows, makes it cool :) [01:40] anyone has seen that kind of error before? [01:40] how do i rebuild /etc/init.d/open-vm-tools? [01:40] So looks like Ia m getting wine apparantly. [01:40] and getting that windows app for the usb [01:40] XD [01:40] Roxy``: check the appdb, make sure its a compatible app [01:40] rone-, maybe the example @ https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/installation-guide/hppa/preseed-using.html is any help [01:40] Can some one explain to me why ubuntu went with a program called apt daemon ... That eats all the cpu and seems to fail at its job half the time. [01:41] ActionParsnip: kde [01:41] nnatomltop: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [01:41] Bsims: let me search [01:41] ActionParsnip: running urxvt [01:42] Bsims: is pcspkr loaded? [01:42] rone-, look for the section ### Partitioning [01:42] ActionParsnip: was last I knew let me check [01:42] Bsims: I suggest you run: echo "pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules and it will load at start and load the system beep (annoying imho) [01:43] I have an Lenovo x200s and havent going from ubuntu 10.4 to 11.10 I have a serious decrease in battery life. I've read all about the kernel bug but havent been able to fix it. i hear its going to be patched in 3.2.5, but I'm not sure if its the same bug. Does anyone have experience with this? or at least have an idea when 3.2.5 is going to be released? [01:43] ActionParsnip, Sadly Apt-Daemon was the last straw for me. I tried to tolerate ubuntu. I switched all 4 systems over to Debian. The one last ubuntu system I just kill apt daemon every time it starts up and manually tell apt-get to upgrade. [01:44] nnatomltop: so why are you here? This is a support channel...? [01:44] ActionParsnip, Because I am hopeing you can give me an idea of how to remove apt-daemon for good from my last remaining system. I don't have time to deal with it. [01:44] Dillman09: lenovo no longer sells that model, so I'm guessing it's old(er) tech. Strongly suggest you stick with LTS releases and/or consider switching to x/l/buntu as they support lower spec machines [01:44] ActionParsnip: its loaded now and still nothing [01:45] Dillman09, kernel 3.2x is available in the next version 12.04, i would not advise to use it in 11.10 [01:45] just a second and I'll restart this screen [01:45] ActionParsnip: thank you it worked [01:45] Booted fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 (In VirtualBox), decrypted LVM encrypted partition, it said decryption was successful, and now I have (In orange text if it matters) "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth" [01:46] lol got to restart screen to get it to take but beep works [01:46] Bsims: np man, seems weird the module isn't loaded consistantly [01:46] it runs a core 2 duo l9400 . should i downgrade back to 10.04 or 10.1? or wait till the new 12.04? [01:46] ActionParsnip: appdb? [01:46] *headdesk* I'm not sure where to start. Attempting to get oneiric to run on an Armada E500, possibly the same issues? (I just got in) [01:46] !appdb | Roxy`` [01:46] Roxy``: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [01:46] Dillman09: LTS only is a whole LOT less heartbreaking. go with 10.04 until 12.04 arrive. [01:47] ActionParsnip: Just found out the hardware that wine can't even detect my usb drive, thats REALLY fucked up [01:47] beata|lemur: if you tell us your issue instead of that stuff, we can help [01:47] ok good call i appriciate it [01:47] ActionParsnip: the ubuntu devs have a nasty jihad against it, as I understand it the beep needed a complete rewrite, as it conflicted with unicode support for international languages [01:47] Roxy``: please keep the language family friendly [01:47] ActionParsnip: what other iso to usb program do you know of? [01:47] in terms of 10.04. do you think there are any security concerns for just using that long term? [01:48] Dillman09: actual vs in theory [01:48] ok [01:48] good enough [01:48] How can i get the internal ip of all the devices on my network? [01:48] Roxy``: 1 2 3 app from pendrivelinux [01:48] Dillman09: 10.40 is LTS so it's supported for 36 months. 12.04 will get 5 year support... [01:48] Oer, thanks, i will check that out, hope it works [01:48] pangolin: nmap [01:48] Hi! I'm having problems in my laptop (I believe hardware problems) with ubuntu11.10. I runned memtest and reported no errors. If I boot ubuntu or windows7, it takes 30 mins. Now I booted from ubuntu live USB. Someone has an idea what can it mean? Does it tell something about where can be the problem! Appreciate your help! [01:48] ActionParsnip: I don't want linux bootloaders on my windows iso startup -_- [01:49] what do you say about an in place upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 when it is released? for whatever reason, i'm always a fan of fresh installs [01:49] Roxy``: its not something ive had to use. the grub and lilo bootloaders can boot windows [01:49] ActionParsnip, I needed a simple system that my clients can use. Not one that changes entirely every upgrade. After ubuntu switched to Unity fully and messed up the updating system. I had to remove my social and phisical support of the system. I can no longer trust ubuntu. I seem to still be cleaning up the mess. [01:49] Roxy``, this is not the place for support of that: ##windows [01:49] Sure! Current issue is 'Failed to load session gnome' [01:49] Dillman09: clean install is preferred but in place is do-able [01:49] bazhang: I am STUCK in ubuntu, and need help with it. [01:49] nnatomltop: you don't have to use unity [01:50] bazhang: I am sure ##windows wouldn't be able to help me with a ubuntu **** up XD [01:50] pangolin, nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 >> That will ping every address between 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255 and list those it finds [01:50] Roxy``, you are trying to create a windows iso start up. there are no ubuntu tools for that [01:50] Roxy``, last warning on the foul language [01:50] nnatomltop: I use LXDE and there is no Unity there. Also if you use xfce or KDE or ANY other DE, you will not get Unity by default [01:50] ok, i'll make sure to test 12.04 on a new disk to ensure that the power issue is resolved before rebuilding. really appreciate the help [01:50] ActionParsnip Oer thank you [01:51] bazhang: What other software is there to burn an iso to the usb. [01:51] Dillman09: good luck - don't forget to look at x/l/buntu [01:51] Roxy``: try Linuxlive usb creator or unetbootin and feed it your windows iso [01:51] which would you recommend? [01:51] unetbootin runs in linux [01:51] im open to any sugguestions [01:51] Dillman09: install virtual box and try them both! Win! [01:51] Roxy``, you are asking about burning a windows iso to usb, this is the wrong place for it. ##windows is the correct place [01:51] Bsims: Unetbootin and windows aren't actually FRIENDS. [01:51] Roxy``: ya asked for ideas [01:52] i spend most of my day using virtual box. so i'm ultimately looking for a stable vbox platform [01:52] Roxy``: you could get another windows user near t you to make you a bootable windows USB, probably easier [01:52] Dillman09: virtualbox, qemu and vmware are options [01:52] bazhang: Like ##windows would know the proper software to use IN ubuntu [01:52] Dillman09: I'd tend to favor xubuntu as hosts then [01:53] ActionParsnip, Alright I will have to figure that out later. Still I preferred ubuntu when it was simple and sleak, close to Debian. .... Do I just use apt-get install gnome to get back to the base system ? [01:53] and any particular release of xubuntu? i think i'd have to find one with an older kernel or the new 3.2.5 [01:53] nnatomltop: Unity is a shell for Gnome, you already have gnome installed if you are using Unity [01:54] Dillman09: 10.04 should run on your specs [01:54] I would like to get the system to a reasonably stable state where I can work on dock/hotswap/ACPI support. [01:54] ok cool. going to download an .iso now [01:54] Dillman09: good luck. [01:54] nnatomltop: I suggest you run: sudo apt-get install xfce4 and install xfce, use the xfce session and it will feel like Gnome2 [01:55] nnatomltop: xfce is good [01:55] though I would give my eyeteeth to see kde have icon support like wmaker [01:56] ActionParsnip, How do I switch shells? and remove apt-daemon ..... 742MB ram for the base system is unacceptable I feel like I am using windows. One last question How does unity interact with the system and is it disabled by default? [01:56] * Bsims grins different functions based on middle click vs left click [01:56] ActionParsnip: Thats what am about to do, I am not about to be stuck awhole night in ubuntu's crap [01:56] hey guys [01:56] Roxy``: find a local buddy [01:56] Ye gods. [01:56] is there a way i can do an ubuntu install in OEM mode? [01:56] i have ubuntu on a penstick for a netbook [01:56] Roxy``: what did ya do to mess up your bootloader? [01:57] !netsplit [01:57] lets start at the begining, feel free to PM [01:57] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [01:57] so i can just set all the techie stuff up and have it ask the user all the .....holy fuck [01:57] nnatomltop: if you install gnome-shell you can press ALT+F2 and run: gnome-shell --repace and use that [01:57] all the user related non techy questions later [01:57] is that possible> [01:57] Bsims: I didn't do anything I used unetbootin to burn the windows 7 iso onto the usb drive and it screwed it all up. [01:57] nnatomltop: if you wnat to switch desktop (not shell) then you need to log off and select it at login [01:57] open-vm-tools clipboard doesn't work [01:57] lenswipe: easiest way is to copy a good set of dot files into the users home dir [01:58] !language | lenswipe [01:58] lenswipe: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:58] Roxy``: im pretty sure you need a disk for win7 [01:58] that will copy all the configs [01:58] Bsims, what? [01:58] This *is* old hardware, admittedly, P2/P3 era, so I don't expect it to be fast. [01:58] Roxy``: this is an ubuntu support channel, for windows, join ##windows [01:58] dRounse: Not by far, you don't. I've installed it using a usb drive before. [01:58] Bsims, no, im doing an install for someone and i wont be around when they set the password and stuff up [01:58] lenswipe: on every unix like OS ah [01:58] beata|lemur: if you use lubuntu or xubuntu it will be a bit faster [01:58] Bsims, i need them to choose this stuff after ive long gone [01:59] Bsims, i should mention this is a netbook [01:59] lenswipe: Hrm have them email it to ya and ssh to it to set it? [01:59] Ben64: my issue is with ubuntu, only thing is I am stuck with the piece of crap trying to transfer an windows iso from it [01:59] lenswipe, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview ( i think you need the dvd iso for that ) [01:59] Kubuntu not supported. Unity pushed. Why stay with Ubuntu? [01:59] Oer, will that fit on a penstick? [01:59] i have a question regarding converting music files [01:59] Bsims, i would prefer this way [01:59] ActionParsnip, Thanks. Do you know what apt-daemon was supposed to accomplish. It really confuses me. Its like a big fancy annoying thing for what should be a simple user initiated simple public task. [01:59] lenswipe: install openssh-server and port forward port 22/TCP on their router, you can now remote access to fix some things [01:59] mhaz, thats not a support question [01:59] ActionParsnip, No. [01:59] Roxy``: if you have a problem with ubuntu, ask a question. we're not here to help you install windows [01:59] :p [01:59] dRounse: ask [01:59] nnatomltop: not sure, is it ran as root or as user? [02:00] Sorry. Thought discussion forum. [02:00] lenswipe: can't think of anything of the top of my head other than set it up with an account named setup and have them add the new user from that then remove the user [02:00] Ben64: I don't need help installing Windows, Windows is way more simple. The problem is getting it burned on a usb stick from its iso format [02:00] mhaz, there is one : #ubuntu-offtopic [02:00] open-vm-tools clipboard doesn't work [02:00] nnatomltop: could try marking it as not executable and reboot, see if it helps :) You can always boot to liveCD and tweak it back if it causes issues [02:00] Bsims, ill just set it for them to automatically login i guess [02:00] ;/ [02:00] JPeterson: any details..... [02:00] ActionParsnip, It seems to be run as root. Does not seem to talk to the update manager well. Eats a lot of cpu and dosn't show what its doing. I have a habit of killing things that I don't know what they are doing. [02:00] Roxy``: and for the 11,482nd time in the wrong room [02:01] dRounse: winff [02:01] lenswipe, 4 gb yes ( iso is 1.5 gb ) [02:01] Bsims: Don't talk if you can't read. XD [02:01] cfhowlett: i converted my music using sound converter, to 128 kbps and on the file when i look it says 48 kbps but the quality is not of 48 kbps is that normal? [02:01] Roxy``: go to a friend. borrow his windows machine. create your media. live long and prosper [02:01] I can go give that a try, sure. [02:01] ActionParsnip: I did apt-get --purge remove open-vm-tools, then sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools [02:01] that's it [02:01] thanks [02:01] lsmod show all modules [02:01] dRounse: "quality is no 48" means what?? [02:01] Roxy``, you're offtopic here, please take it to ##windows [02:01] nnatomltop: https://launchpad.net/aptdaemon shows what it does [02:02] lenswipe: i'd strongly advise setting up something like dyndns for it, my clients think I am a god for fixing it remotely via ssh [02:02] JPeterson: did it work before the removal? [02:02] ActionParsnip: nope [02:02] lsmod show vmblock, vmsync, vmhgfs, vmci [02:02] nnatomltop: you can also see the bugs reported for the package [02:02] cfhowlett: well the higher bitrate the better quality, but the quality of the songs i converted is definetly not 48 kbps.... is that normal for my computer to say 48 kbps [02:02] lenswipe: and lets face it jim.bob.dyndns.org is easier than 123.456.789 if ya got to remember it [02:02] Bsims, i cant, its at my place [02:03] Bsims, theres a whole host of reasons why i can [02:03] cant* [02:03] * Bsims understands [02:03] i assume normal-buntu is kosha on a netbook? [02:03] lenswipe: define 'kosha' [02:03] dRounse: it could be variable bitrate, so it could be 48kbit in some spots [02:03] i just find netbook remix repulsive [02:03] !une | lenswipe [02:03] lenswipe: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. [02:03] ActionParsnip, it doesnt shit brix [02:03] leave them a file with instructions on how to change the password [02:04] ActionParsnip: problem was vmware-user-suid-wrapper wasn't run [02:04] lenswipe: netbook remix hasn't been developed for years now [02:04] lenswipe, stop with the cursing [02:04] dRounse: bring this question to #ubuntustudio [02:04] bazhang, im on 10.04 - can i just do dist-upgrade [02:04] ActionParsnip: where is it supposed to run from? [02:04] I've done that for windows with screenshots and everything [02:04] bazhang, apologies [02:04] JPeterson: its not something I use dude [02:04] someone else [02:04] Ben64: so is that good or bad? i just want good quality but i dont want it taking up my whole hard drive [02:04] lenswipe: which release are you using? [02:04] where is ivmware-user-suid-wrapper supposed to run from? [02:04] lenswipe, upgrade, dist-upgrade is something else [02:04] Ben64: it doesnt seem different tho [02:04] dRounse: for good quality, you'd probably want more than 128kbit to be honest [02:04] bazhang, upgrade just upgrades the packages [02:04] lenswipe: wanting to upgrade via cli? [02:05] bazhang, i want to take 10.04 to whatever the latest stable version of ubuntu is [02:05] ActionParsnip, Frankly that discription scares me, As a sys admin I don't want things out of my control. I like to know EXACTLY what my computer is doing and why and who did it. Aptdaemon almost is like saying, Users we now allow you to be stupid and install anything you like, Including viruses. [02:05] lenswipe: 10.04 is the latest stable LTS version [02:05] ActionParsnip, 10.04(for now) [02:05] Ben64: well i really dont notice much of a difference with lower bitrate [02:05] Ben64, can i upgrade to 11.10 using dist-upgrade? [02:05] lenswipe, you can go to 11.10 now, or wait a couple of months and go directly to 12.04 in one step [02:06] hmm [02:06] id prefer to go to 11.10 now because 10.04 doesnt have unity so when that suddenly appears this girl might freak [02:06] id rather things were just different from the beginning [02:07] lenswipe: thats why. You could hang til April then install Precise (12.04) as an LTS to LTS upgrade [02:07] the /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop is there as it sohuld be, but it's not launched [02:07] lenswipe: you don't have to use Unity [02:07] lenswipe: "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal then do "sudo do-release-upgrade" [02:07] lenswipe: if you install xfce4 in Oneiric you will not get the unity shell by default [02:07] !netsplit [02:07] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [02:07] lenswipe: I've been running ubuntu for about a decade now, and the gui tool has never once worked, this always has [02:08] where does mysql gets installed /var/lib/mysql? or /usr/lib/mysql? [02:08] can someone please hint me? [02:08] cordoval: how is that done? [02:09] Bsims, what has? [02:09] sudo apt-get install [02:10] lenswipe: the server upgrade method I posted [02:10] lenswipe: its two commands [02:10] well three [02:10] Bsims, i never saw them [02:10] :( [02:10] lenswipe: "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal then do "sudo do-release-upgrade" [02:10] Hi, my laptop (ubuntu 11.10) is making problems: booting windows 7 or ubuntu takes 20-30 minutes and it's slow and unstable when working. Now I booted from ubuntu live USB, and it works well. Does it tell someone something about where can be the problem. I think is hardware problem, but don't know where... any ideas? [02:10] ActionParsnip: ? sudo apt-get install way [02:10] codoval: try whereis mysql [02:10] thx man [02:11] and you only have to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades once [02:11] and its there forever [02:11] thanks fean0r [02:11] javier_: i'd guess hard drive, pastebin the result of this - "sudo fdisk -l" [02:11] ~ whereis mysql [02:11] mysql: /usr/bin/mysql /etc/mysql /usr/lib/mysql /usr/include/mysql /usr/share/mysql /usr/share/man/man1/mysql.1.gz [02:11] why then am i getting the rror [02:11] when compiling? [02:11] Bsims, thx man [02:11] cordoval: install mysql-lib [02:12] the lib packages are needed to compile not to run it === f0urtyfive is now known as fourtyfive [02:12] so its split off === fourtyfive is now known as 77CAAA4TL [02:12] Bsims: hmm sudo apt-get install mysql-lib fails === 77CAAA4TL is now known as f0urtyfive [02:13] javier_: if you pasted anything, i didn't see it [02:13] cordoval: heh what version of mysql ya running, I'll give you the proper name [02:13] Ben64, http://pastebin.com/Gse2FhKe I'm afraid it's in spanish... don't know if you will guess what means, but I can tell you if you ask. Thanks [02:13] Bsims: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.19, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.2 [02:14] Ben64, or, how to get it in spanish [02:15] javier_: what is the 16GB drive? [02:16] cordoval: install libmysqlclient-dev [02:16] javier_: now pastebin this - "sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sdb" [02:16] Ben64, ah... I see. I'm in ubuntu live cd, and that's my usb information. So, it's not useful for us [02:16] Bsims: i think i already have that [02:16] cordoval also install synaptic its a good gui for package management [02:16] Ben64, I mean, ubuntu live usb+ [02:16] Bsims: libmysqlclient-dev is already the newest version. [02:17] javier_: it will be useful === jg84 is now known as JoeGazz84 === JoeGazz84 is now known as jg84 [02:17] Bsims: there is a lot of network splits [02:17] What the fudge? [02:17] cordoval: try installing libmysqld-dev [02:18] I did [02:18] oh d [02:18] Ben64, but, as I said, here on ubuntu live usb it works well, but if I boot from my hard drive ubuntu or windows, is when I find the problem. So, we would need to test hard drive to detect the prblem [02:18] !netsplit | These are planned splits folks and should be over soon. [02:18] libmysqld-dev is already the newest version. [02:18] Too many netsplits [02:18] These are planned splits folks and should be over soon.: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [02:18] help [02:19] Bsims: libmysqld-dev is already the newest version. [02:19] any fail2ban users out there? I am looking for nice fail2ban jail.configuration [02:19] javier_: but if you pastebin this - "sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sdb" it will show the hard drive speed, which i'm thinking the problem is [02:19] pangolin: network admins could've issued a note at least ;) [02:19] szal: they did [02:19] * Bsims doesn't know then cordoval what is the exact error [02:19] szal: /umode +w [02:19] MrKeuner: cant say i ever used that feature of fail2ban [02:19] cordoval: install synaptic and start browsing the -dev packages for sql [02:19] pangolin: they usually give out one public message for all [02:19] Dr_willis, you can enable new rules. such as rules for w00t w00t maniac [02:19] Bsims: https://gist.github.com/1764565 [02:20] szal: tomaw/Wallops- Okay, sorry for that noise; we're done now! [02:20] Guys how can you download your wiki domain into mediawiki? [02:20] MrKeuner: not sure why i would need to. :) i just ban based on how many ssh attempts. [02:20] where is vmware-user-suid-wrapper autostarted from? /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop is there as it sohuld be, but it's not launched. [02:20] Dr_willis, so your fail2ban is not monitoring anything else than sshd [02:21] I use it for monitoring other logs as well [02:21] MrKeuner: ssh is basically the only public service i got going on my server. so yes. [02:21] cool [02:21] cordoval: hit this bug? http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=38009 [02:21] MrKeuner: ssh and znc is all have going. [02:21] Ben64, http://pastebin.com/Zk63SrqP [02:21] Yay! I finally finished setting up ubuntu [02:21] :) [02:21] i need use Skybe for ubuntu 64bit .how to??? [02:22] Bsims: that seems unrelated [02:22] javier_: yep, you need a new hard drive [02:22] !skype | make [02:22] make: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [02:22] !skype|make [02:22] Bsims: I am just trying to install the indexer here https://docs.phraseanet.com/en/Admin/Prerequisite.html [02:22] Dr_willis, you can monitor any log with fail2ban, including znv, or vnc? [02:22] Hello [02:22] jane-doe_: greetings [02:22] cordoval: I know less than nothing about sql on ubuntu sorry but assuming ya got all the dev libs, gonna assume bad code [02:22] Ben64, Ops... where do you see it? [02:22] Bsims: https://gist.github.com/1764595 [02:22] Floodbot [02:23] MrKeuner: never really needed to. I have only the 2 exposed services forwarded through my router. I cant say i ever noticed many znc attempts. Just ssh. [02:23] MrKeuner: not even running those at this time. [02:23] change your ssh port and you won't even see those ones [02:23] :) [02:23] MrKeuner: i have changed my port. i still get ssh break in attempts. [02:23] cordoval: that looks reasonable sorry man I dunno [02:23] :( [02:24] :'( [02:24] Dr_willis, really? didn't know that [02:24] javier_: compare your speed to mine, http://pastebin.com/QBRAc0ZA [02:24] Dr_willis, I recenlt enabled a jail configuration for fail2ban.log itself [02:24] cordoval: is the call hardcoded in the script? [02:24] MrKeuner: just random scans. - I also have ssh set up where it onlyu works with key based auth. so no password attempts will work. and the fail2ban (i think) is set where they get like 3 tries and they are banned. [02:24] if someone gets banned three times for 300 sec, they get banned for 10 days for instance [02:25] Bsims: you mean configure script? [02:25] MrKeuner: if they get banned here.. they are banned. :) [02:25] cordoval: yeah seen that with newbie code [02:25] Dr_willis, that's another way :) [02:25] I only rarely ssh in from my phone lately. or machines on localhost. [02:25] How can you install a wiki domain into your mediawiki server? [02:26] Bsims: https://github.com/alchemy-fr/Phraseanet-Indexer/blob/master/configure.ac [02:26] Ben64, yes, I see. But I repeated the command in terminal and it changes all the time the speed. For example, now it reported: http://pastebin.com/cQz89gHw [02:26] AC_PATH_PROG([MYSQL_CONFIG], [mysql_config], , $PATH/usr/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin) [02:26] Downloading ... [02:27] Dr_willis, i could write jail configuration for any log file, If I had understood regexp [02:27] Bsims: https://github.com/alchemy-fr/Phraseanet-Indexer/blob/master/configure.ac#L28 [02:27] javier_: it should be consistent. that first time with the KB/s speed is very bad. hard drive needs to be replaced [02:27] all looks reasonable but I don't know if the fixed locations in the file match where ubutnu sticks things [02:27] they work in mac [02:28] wonder where do they deploy to though [02:28] Ben64, ok. Actually, I believe that is the problem. With that speed it will be a hard work to save all the data I have there... [02:28] cordoval: do a locate mysql|grep bin [02:28] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html [02:28] yay!

[02:30] ActionParsnip: again and again... [02:31] cordoval: look to see where mysql-lib sticks things [02:31] cfhowlett: maybe its a windows user thing [02:31] cordoval: got the idea? [02:31] LOL! [02:31] ActionParsnip: i was thinking the same thing, didn't want to say it [02:31] Bsims: no, those look like binaries [02:31] work time for me.. bbl.

[02:33] hrm then right click on the lib in synaptic and look for installed files [02:34] cordoval: then right click on the lib in synaptic and look for installed files [02:34] ActionParsnip: yes but my way is more insulting [02:34] Bsims, dont use that here, ever. [02:35] Bsims: https://gist.github.com/1764706 [02:37] Bsims: sounds like /usr/include/mysql [02:37] is the place [02:37] now should i tell ./configure --libdir=/usr/include/mysql? or what [02:37] cordoval: so point the part that is looking for libs to /usr/include/mysql to be honest its past my paygrade [02:38] cordoval: the script is assuming its built from scratch [02:38] anyone know what Distribution of Linux, Google uses? [02:38] how do i change encoding ansi utf-8? [02:38] hmm Bsims from scratch? [02:38] cordoval: yeah I am fond of checkinstall for making quick and dirty packages [02:39] shove it in /usr/local as an install location and bob's your uncle [02:39] Bsims: sorry you slang is getting me lost already [02:40] what should I try in specific [02:40] so change this line ? AC_PATH_PROG([MYSQL_CONFIG], [mysql_config], , $PATH/usr/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin) [02:40] cordoval: checkinstall will make a quick and dirty package, that is handled like anything else... or see if that package has a ubuntu flavor [02:41] hmm [02:42] cordoval: the install script is assuming installed from scratch to /usr/local/mysql [02:42] oh hmm [02:42] so but how to correct it I am wondering [02:42] cordoval: In actual fact I'd fire someone for writing it [02:42] I can make a PR correcting it [02:42] but need to understand it first [02:43] this is on github sothey will surely take PRs https://github.com/alchemy-fr/Phraseanet-Indexer/blob/master/configure.ac#L28 [02:43] help me firing them [02:43] Hi guys, I just upgraded to 11.10 was running 10.10 for a while, although now I keep on getting a message saying 'panic occurred, switching back to text console' never had this problem before, any ideas? Thanks in advanced. [02:43] easiest way is to patch the install script, or install it by hand I'd see if the addon is already packaged first [02:44] cordoval: my only sql experence is with sql/400 on a IBM I series [02:44] I think you want me to run sudo checkinstall [02:45] How can you download mediawiki into your server? [02:45] not a bad idea makes it easier to uninstall [02:45] * Bsims goes off insearch of food [02:45] but Bsims the thing fails on make [02:45] not make install [02:48] wow [02:49] adam123: hardware??

[02:51] Raymond_, do you have a question related to that, if so please ask the channel [02:51] cfhowlett, hmmm... I think it may be an issue with my chipsets, I find it doesn't happen if I run in Ubuntu 2D? Just wasn't happening with the older version I was using / Linix Mint I had a while back. :) [02:51] adam123: that's why I asked about hardware - I'd suspect your GPU. Try 2d... [02:51] adam123, unity-2d you mean? [02:52] lenswipe: did you run: sudo apt-get update; yet? [02:52] Yeah unity-2d, really new to this. Its pretty awesome. Is this a new thing in 11.10? [02:52] adam123, since 11.04 iirc [02:52] trism, no, that fixed it - thanks :D [02:53] adam123, whats the video card ?

[03:24] Hi [03:25] Anyone around? [03:25] ... [03:26] maybe :P [03:28] vindav: you may need to rename ~/.mozilla/firefox the new configs may crash the older version [03:29] ActionParsnip: Where do I do that on my system ? [03:29] vindav: you can do it in a terminal or in nautilus as 2 suggesions [03:30] vindav: sudo apt-get purge firefox then go to /home and delete .mozilla [03:30] ActionParsnip: What is the terminal command, or can I do it from Gnome where I can find the file .mozilla by doing a Ctrl-H in the home folder, then alter ? [03:30] cfhowlett: what isf the user uses thunderbird!? [03:30] ActionParsnip: Ok, I'll try that now. [03:30] vindav: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox_old [03:31] cfhowlett: the thunderbird config AND EMAILS are stored in ~/.mozilla too... [03:31] vindav: DO NOT delete .mozilla DON"T DO IT! [03:31] * ActionParsnip sighs [03:31] ActionParsnip: once again, brain in neutral, fingers typing. thanks for the reminder [03:31] cfhowlett: Why ? [03:31] Okay I installed ndiswrapper, use it to install my wireless driver, did modprobe ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper -m and rebooted when I run 'ndiswrapper -l' DRIVER: XXX DEVICE PRESENT so why cant I see the wlan0 when i run ifconfig or iwconfig? [03:32] vindav: as AP rightly pointed out, your thunderbird files are ALSO in .mozilla - you'd lose all your email configurations and probably your emails themselves [03:32] vindav: if you use thunderbird then your emails are also in ~/.mozilla so you should rename ~/.mozilla/firefox which will not touch your thunderbird config (if it is used) [03:33] Anyone proficient with getting wireless drivers to work with ubuntu? [03:33] ActionParsnip: Yes, I also use Thunderbird as my e-mail prgm. So far, I have purged Firefox from the terminal prgm. So, how do you suggest I rename the file to ? [03:34] vindav: I gave you the command....technically just something differnet and you are fie [03:34] *fine [03:35] ActionParsnip: I also have a file separate from Firefox and it's called .mozilla-thunderbird Is that file still associated with Firefox somehow ? [03:35] vindav: thats your emails [03:36] Anyone know how to work a little ndiswrapper magic? [03:37] ACtionParsnip: If I do not delete or rename .mozilla-thunderbird, I can keep all the e-mail stuff, right ? And if I delete .mozilla which is a completely separate file, will that effect .mozilla-thunderbird ? [03:37] where is vmware-user-suid-wrapper autostarted from? /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop is there, unchaged, but it's not launched apparently. [03:37] if not can someone send me an invite to the #linux channel? [03:37] answer: the problem was old files in /etc/vmware-tools/ that wasn't removed by --purge remove, probably because they are not used by thw new version [03:38] ActionParsnip: If I do not delete or rename .mozilla-thunderbird, I can keep all the e-mail stuff, right ? And if I delete .mozilla which is a completely separate file, will that effect .mozilla-thunderbird ? [03:38] so the solution is to --purge remove and delete /etc/vmware-tools/ [03:38] vindav: testing [03:41] vindav: if you don't touch the folder it won't touch the config.

[03:56] how to restore it to its place? [03:56] vindav: reinstall whatever version you want, you will get default configs [03:56] hello. [03:56] hi [03:56] help me plz [03:56] vindav: I suggest you install it via the repos [03:56] ((( [03:56] Alen, your next step would be to identify where the deleted partition would start and end. if you don't know what those block positions are, you could guess based on the other partitions in the drive. In other words assume that the deleted partition starts at the beginning of free space and extends to the end of the free space. under that assumption you can create a new partition of the correct type (BUT DO NOT FORMAT the new partition) [03:56] and if you are correct you have restored. if you are wrong you probably trashed the data [03:56] ActionParsnip, if the .mozilla folder is still in place it will override default install settings [03:57] morrigandsmith: I have used the Ctrl-H function to reveal any hidden folders that may be in .mozilla/ [03:57] vindav: you just need to rename ~/.mozilla/firefox that's all. [03:57] morrigandsmith: no as the firefox folder inside is none existant as it is renamed [03:57] ActionParsnip, agreed, if you rename it will ignore [03:58] hello, xfce on my laptop does not use 100% CPU power when needed, and that makes the overall performance very sluggish. is there a tool i can use that can help me run the CPU at its optimum speed?

[03:59] vindav: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [03:59] on osx... i can do something like .. open myfile.pdf or open xyz.txt ... and it would oopen the file with the default viewer [04:00] i know you can use gnome-open ... however im on xubuntu [04:00] is there something simliar? [04:00] morrigandsmith: just had to fight a citrix box so wa sin and out [04:00] i cry :( [04:00] ActionParsnip: lucid [04:00] wchan_: you can still use gnome-open if I'm not mistaken, you just gotta install it first [04:00] RadiumCat: https://launchpad.net/~artfwo/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=oneiric may help. Details here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/indicator-cpufreq-cpu-frequency-scaling-indicator-applet/ [04:00] Alen, it would be a new partition table entry, but not a new formated partition. this is why you may want to use fdisk instead of gparted. gparted tries to be helpful by formatting the partition which would destroy your data [04:00] wchan_: try "xdg-open" [04:00] !info firefox lucid | vindav [04:00] vindav: firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla.

[04:01] bobenhaus: ppl that dont like the horrible new gnome3? [04:01] wchan_: sounds about right. but try xdg-open, zykotick9 mighta found your alternative [04:01] bobenhaus: many do, its great [04:01] ActionParsnip: !info firefox lucid | vindav [04:01] xykotick9: thansk [04:01] morrigandsmith: not sure. I use parcellite so not sure of the memory uses there [04:01] is there a way to remove the unity and just keep xbuntu as the default? [04:01] Alen, if you want to use fdisk its just: "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" "m" for the menu "p" to print the current table "n" to create a new entry [04:01] wchan_: if either one works for you, you can edit your .bashrc and insert an alias for open='gnome-open' or something [04:01] escott, if i just add new partition. On it partition will be my files? [04:02] wchan_: you probably dislike unity, not gnome3 [04:02] Alen, if you guess correctly yes. if you guess wrong no. [04:02] ActionParsnip: i dislike both [04:02] gnome-panel is boke . totally not same as gnome2 [04:02] bobenhaus: xubuntu is just a name. XFCE4 is the window manager. you can apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, or XFCE4, and just select xfce4 or xubuntu when you're at the login screen [04:03] ActionParsnip, can percellite copy 500 pages from a pdf to a text file? I need to change a book format to mobi [04:03] morrigandsmith: worth a try, it is free ;) [04:03] Is it possible to upgrade Ubuntu's 10.04.3 LTS kernel to version 3.0? [04:03] aBound: yes but its not supported here [04:03] is xbuntu a OS or window manager? [04:03] Gotcha. [04:04] bobenhaus: its an ubuntu variant using xfce by default as well as light applications [04:04] escott, If I do not guess the size, then what? [04:04] bobenhaus: xubuntu is a bunch of packages that are personalized to be "xubuntu". it's 'kind of' a distro. xfce4 is the specific window manager. [04:04] I know this is probably a very noobish question, but how do i change the background image @ Kvirc? is it possible [04:04] hmm ok thanks [04:04] xfce4 isnt a wm [04:05] escott, If I do not guess the size, then what? [04:05] please [04:05] .... ActionParsnip, ? [04:05] Alen, i don't know, but it certainly wouldn't work. it might destroy the data [04:05] WM stands for Window Manager. [04:06] escott, forever? [04:06] yeah, I know that part, I just hadn't heard it referred to as anything BUT a window manager [04:06] o_O [04:07] Nach0z: DE Desktop Environment (it translates to Bloated WM) [04:07] Nach0z, From what I know XFCE is a GUI. [04:07] alrighty then. [04:07] soooo it's a window manager with a taskbar, start menu, and applets preconfigured [04:07] xfce4 is the desktop xfwm4 is the WM [04:07] escott, if I make a partition on the entire (full) disk, then the data will be lost? [04:08] escott, help please [04:08] although you can easily use compiz etc with xfce4 [04:08] escott, very important data for me [04:09] ActionParsnip: Do you have a hyperlink where I can download the version of Firefox that you posted please ? [04:09] escott, ? [04:10] Help Please My Bad! [04:10] vindav: its in the official repositories. If you added a PPA then remove it but the default version for firefox ix 10 [04:10] vindav: there is no 'link' just install it like any other app [04:10] How recover logical delited partition in Linux? [04:10] SMACK. [04:10] Alen, you clearly dont understand how partitions and filesystems work. the filesystem puts a superblock which indicates where the rest of the data can be found at a fixed position from the start of the partition. the partition table is stored in a different part of the disk and does not affect the data stored on the disk. so your task is to get that partition start in exactly the correct place so the superblock is exactly where it needs [04:10] to be so you can get a readable filesystem [04:11] zykotick9: xdg-open works :) ... yah! [04:11] ActionParnip: Are you saying I can just install it now from Ubuntu Software Centre ? [04:11] Alen, a partition of the entire disk is just going to make your problem worse. you need to figure out where the deleted partition began and ended [04:12] Greetings, chaps.

I DON'T use Firefox [04:35] JPeterson: why what asks for a file? [04:35] JPeterson: maybe the installer needs updating if the zrchive has been updated [04:35] uRock, ok. i was going to suggest that the uids may not match (the username is not stored in the filesystem only the uid). you can see what your id is with "id" and what the ids associated to the folders are with "stat filename" if those dont match you need to use chown to fix it [04:35] JPeterson: could report a bug [04:36] ActionParsnip: ok [04:36] I installed E17, and connman, and now the regular network applet doesn't start in Unity [04:36] strange that nobody has noticed that such a package doesn't install [04:36] how many users are there if I was the first one that tried to install flash-downloader [04:36] escott, I'll check it out, thanx [04:36] JPeterson: maybe they have but didn't say or worked around [04:37] ActionParsnip: I guess [04:37] JPeterson: maybe the error has just this second appeared and you got hit by it [04:37] ActionParsnip: could be [04:37] JPeterson: not so strange ;) [04:38] Does anyone have suggestions for a light weight browser that would do good on x11 over ssh?

[05:29] ok thanks [05:29] otherwise fire up the package manager and remove whatever xfce rel;ated packages you fild. and perhaps reinstall ubuntu-desktop to be sure to pull in any gnome packages that you might accidnetly remove [05:29] !netsplit [05:29] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

Wikipedia has a good description of it, but basically there are 10 hours a day and 100 minutes an hour. [05:34] and you need to use this for? [05:34] Lirth: "metric" comes to time, never heard of it - doubt gnu/linux can do it, maybe. [05:35] So this Intel GMA 3150 under 11.10 x64 won't be detected, and I'm limited to 800x600 and 1024x768. Any ideas on a fix?

That has 100 hours a day. [05:36] Lirth: i was actually just trying to make fun of what you wanted (calling it metric time), i certainly didn't know there was a real metric time as well...

Normally theres x security features that keep a ssh sessiomn from running gui apps if a differnt user is logged in. (or even the same user) [05:46] i am experiencing the "black screen at boot" issue, i blame the "amd 64 alternate" driver i downloaded right before this mess started.

My question is the i need to turn off my notebook screen's, but when i press the button with this function in the keyboard nothing happens (it only works at Windows, and i'm no longer using it). There is any way to turn it off? [05:49] are there any keybindings in X11 to open an xterm that work regardless of window manager? (trying to figure out why a couple windows would have popped open on my screen) [05:49] Howdy [05:49] scottj: not that i know of. such things would be window manager, or file manager specific [05:50] scottj: keybinding for terminal are often DE/WM specific [05:50] matheusrn89: Are you using a second monitor? [05:50] pardon my ignorance, but selecting recovery mode start on GRUB menu only gets me to another menu [05:51] Lirth: no, the one i want to turn off is the monitor of the notebook it self [05:52] matheusrn89: Try using the "Displays" option. It allows you to turn on and off monitors and should let you disable the notebook's monitor. [05:52] Mavrick95: and one of those should get you to a console. or try the 'text' option the bot mention ed earlier. [05:53] i have i hope to be a simple quesion, How do i add my user name to another group? [05:54] so, i can show certain unicode characters in my console just fine, but they won't show up with less, i think because it has encoding issues [05:54] how do i get less to show what my console does? [05:54] Echointhewin: you can do adduser [05:55] ok i will try that now [05:55] Lirth: My GPU is a Nvidia, so i think it's complicated to do it by the "Displays" Option [05:55] Mavrick95, so what is your goal here? [05:55] matheusrn89: nvidia-settings should have what you're looking for then [05:56] dr--willis: the recovery mode menu (says "limited read-only") shows only these option: resume (which boots also to black screen), fsck, remount, and root. i am new to ubuntu, still learning the terminology...

I just need to know if it works to copy over a fresh install with the old one [07:05] what network is this on?

[08:17] ........................................ [08:19] Could someone offer a little advice please? [08:23] I installed bat and bacula. is there a bug with the package? it refuses to listen to port 9101.. netstat -lntp shows this, but listens to 9102 and ..3 [08:23] mac_osx: If you have an Ubuntu related support question just ask. [08:24] did a test install on debian too, and there it worked. [08:24] bat crashes on startup.. needs 9101 to function === Gskellig is now known as Gskellig|away [08:26] mac_osx: just ask [08:28] lapsusbrutus: are you sure that uuntu use the same version as debian ? [08:28] ubuntu* [08:28] zzecool: probably not [08:29] then how do you compare [08:29] Good morning, anyone here know if a bash script fired off using udev has some sort of maximum execution time ? [08:29] probably the ubuntu verison has a abug [08:29] zzecool: I diffed the configfiles,. no serious differences [08:29] try to find a "ppa" that has a more updated version or the latest [08:29] and install form there [08:29] Does Ubuntu support USB DAC's and can it output bit-perfect 24bit/96kHz audio to it? [08:30] [MESSAGE TO ALL CHATTERS] If you have a question reguarding ubuntu, or software used within it, please feel free to just ask. Our crack team of volunteers will be more than happy to help. Just remember to highlight when speaking with someone. [08:30] That should help a little. [08:30] Angablade: Is ubuntu gonna rule the world ? [08:31] ;p [08:31] I've been using Empathy with SIP. Does it support call transfers? [08:31] Angablade: It is ruling the world already :) together with its fellow distros [08:32] It is not. Simple fact that it's just not the norm for usage. Otherwise people wouldn't have so many support questions on there try. [08:32] hoho True story [08:32] But yes, overall. Linux can rule the world. [08:32] <_monk_> is there any networkmanager coders in here? [08:32] <_monk_> why dont it work with 3g dongles automaticly on gnome3 [08:33] There are no drivers installed on stock releases. Stuff like that needs to be installed by hand. Not everyone needs it, so it's not shipped with it. [08:33] guyz [08:33] <_monk_> it works but the timeout in connection attempt is the problem I think+ [08:33] hello [08:33] i accidently delete my home folder [08:33] how to restore my thunderbird emails in it? [08:34] vincentng, open thunderbird and resync [08:34] vincentng: i hope you have a backup, good luck. [08:34] i lost everything in my harddisk [08:34] pozdrowienia z Polski:) [08:34] im thinking of recovery harddisk with testdisk [08:34] but i dunno which files to look for [08:35] _monk_, which 3G dongle do you have? [08:35] vincentng: look for folders not files [08:35] which folders [08:35] <_monk_> huawei [08:35] Okay. [08:35] the home probably... [08:35] <_monk_> I use my iphone for now [08:35] Is it a phone, or an actual dongle. Alot of people confuse these [08:35] <_monk_> its more satysfying [08:35] <_monk_> a dongle [08:35] how do i do that? [08:36] Okay. [08:36] <_monk_> I know the problem [08:36] Which model? [08:36] <_monk_> so I use my phone [08:36] 11.10 [08:36] testdisk [08:36] vincentng: using the recovery software you said before [08:36] <_monk_> doesnt matter [08:36] <_monk_> its a universal problem [08:36] <_monk_> with networkmanager and 3g dongles [08:36] vincentng: i don't think testdisk/photorec can restore folders, but files only (as folders aren't "real") [08:37] <_monk_> people who have cheap computers need 3g dongles [08:37] Any audiophiles around? I wonder if Ubuntu supports USB DAC's and can output bit-perfect 24bit/96kHz [08:37] any other solutions? [08:37] <_monk_> it must me resolved imiedatly [08:37] _monk_, Which version of ubuntu do you have? [08:37] <_monk_> Im on fedora [08:37] <_monk_> same [08:37] <_monk_> porblem === iqpi_ is now known as iqpi [08:37] ... [08:38] <_monk_> its gnome 3 networkmanager [08:38] _monk_, http://min.bz/PYRUL [08:38] Go there [08:38] vincentng: oyu need to use a recovery software that can search and pull the file - folder structure not only files... [08:38] <_monk_> gnome 3 is not complete [08:38] zzecool: could u recommend me 1? [08:38] <_monk_> ubuntu luckily ships with unity [08:38] unity sucks tho. [08:39] Hi, is it possible to make a connection between two network cards connected to the same computer, to the same subnet? I need to make hw test but don't have a router to make them communicate on different subnets. [08:39] <_monk_> but it should ship with xfce [08:39] <_monk_> or old gnome [08:39] _monk_, yes. [08:39] <_monk_> that is a universal consensus [08:39] lethal use a crosscable ? [08:40] <_monk_> unity dont suck [08:40] lethal_lion_, yes it should be [08:40] <_monk_> its more then usable [08:40] lethal_lion_: static IPs and a crossover cable and i'd imagine it would work [08:40] I'm trying for two whole days, but with no result [08:41] vincentng: http://www.easeus-linuxrecovery.com/ [08:41] when I connect like zykotick9 says, ARP replies from one if are gone... [08:41] ry this [08:41] try8 [08:41] it makes miracles on windows ut i never tried at linux [08:43] zzecool which one should i buy for my case [08:43] to recover my whole home folder [08:43] specifically .thuderbird [08:43] ;] [08:43] Anyone here use udev to start scripts ? I'm using it to initiate an rsync script which transfers a data repo to usb drive, however the bash script execution stops halfway when I let it run from udev. if I execute it manually it works just fine. [08:44] vincentng: was thunderbird setup with a POP account, or IMAP? I'd be VERY hesitant to purchase any software to try undeleting on EXT3/4, cause it's probably a waste of money. [08:44] vincentng: the proper way is to take your HDD out attach it on a pc running windows with the recovery program installed and try to recover form there [08:44] from* [08:44] im im on another disk [08:44] im mount it on an external drive [08:45] im ready to do the recovery [08:45] im thinking for which tool should i use [08:45] should i get the pay one or the free version? [08:45] try the free first [08:45] its a try and error [08:46] we are not in your eyes [08:46] you have to do this [08:46] k [08:46] thanks [08:46] np [08:46] other than testdrive easeus [08:46] any other i shud try? [08:46] <_monk_> you can alwayd download systemrescuecd if your systembrakes down [08:46] <_monk_> dont buy windows [08:46] <_monk_> it comes with gentoo [08:47] <_monk_> at root prompt type startx [08:47] <_monk_> you have a computer again [08:47] <_monk_> download at a friends house [08:47] _monk_: that doesn't sound like a "recovery" [08:48] _monk_: his problem is not a non booting system because of crash ...... He deleted the home folder and needs a recover. [08:48] <_monk_> download same distro [08:48] <_monk_> and fix it from there [08:48] _monk_: you are confused [08:48] <_monk_> yes, so are you [08:48] _monk_: we're talking about deleted data recovery [08:48] ,, [08:48] <_monk_> I see [08:49] <_monk_> im sorry for my confusion [08:49] <_monk_> I be quiet [08:49] _monk_: the recovery programs running on windows are way better than anything with linux support [08:49] so he is doomed to use windows for better results [08:49] <_monk_> thats true, but dont buy windows [08:49] <_monk_> pirate it [08:49] zzecool: is the home folder on fat / ntfs then? [08:50] !wares | _monk_ [08:50] <_monk_> hehehehe [08:50] zzecool: iirc, the tools can't recover data from ext partitions on windowews [08:50] !warez | _monk_ [08:50] _monk_: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [08:50] <_monk_> I appologise again [08:51] zzecool [08:51] im now running in windows 7 [08:51] shud i run my recover from ubuntu better?

[09:30] should i pointout that xchat has windows ports then? :) [09:30] ikonia: troll mode got me thats true [09:31] zzecool: no idea what you've just said [09:31] in /etc/apt/sources.list are only the "normal" entrys, i changed them to old-releases.ubuntu.com as the current archive has no karmic packages anymore [09:31] ikonia: forget about it [09:32] Xaratas: what package is the error complaining about ? [09:32] thats where the problem beginns, the apt.log of do-release-upgrade states "Done" as last line [09:33] Xaratas: can you please pastebin your sources.list file [09:33] and the main.log does not say any other text besides this line [09:33] ok [09:33] sorry my htpc is having trouble connecting to the network :( === VoX is now known as vox [09:34] oh this is just cute. I've run a test where a script that starts counting with an interval of 10seconds in a loop when fired using udev rules it stops after about 50 seconds?! [09:35] I'm trying to run a liveusb of 11.10 on a netbook, but it's just sitting at 'checking battery state'. Anything I can do about this?

[09:45] reaping: are u using the original cable that came with the drive ? no usb extension cables etc ? [09:45] SHOVELL: sure, su -c for example [09:45] c? [09:46] SHOVELL: there is also a sudo option (not away of the flag, look it up) [09:46] SHOVELL: in console or X? [09:46] Xaratas: that shouldn't be a problem [09:46] is there any wiki or tutorial or howto for installing ubuntu without the graphical installer [09:46] I/O error in dev sdb [09:46] Xaratas: normally when packages fail as you say, it offers up the package name that's failing [09:46] !install ksinkar [09:46] !install [09:46] ksinkar: the alternative CD doesn't use the gui, it's menu driven and is quite straight foward [09:46] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [09:47] Huei: do you need to see the whole thing? Last entry is an I/O error in dev sdb [09:47] reapingwildoats: i think your external drive is dead [09:47] damo22, i would like it to be x i think [09:47] Huei: my ubuntu is offline at the moment, but I can take pictures of the screen and upload to imgur if need be [09:47] reapingwildoats: but we can try one more thing [09:47] damo22, x= gui? [09:48] reapingwildoats: no, All i know is that the usb3 seagate drives that I own will give similar problems if i attempt to use ANY other cable than the one that came with it [09:48] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/LhZRxg1g i have tried these commados, but no one do anything as there are no broken packages before the upgrade [09:49] damo22, i need the console to run yes but i want to make it so i can click on a icon and they run [09:49] I am using the cable that came with it [09:49] Xaratas: is this a server install or desktop ? [09:49] ikonia: it is a server install, besides base packages it has a bacula server process running [09:50] I understand ubuntu versions are named according to alphabet. what will happen when all the letters are used? [09:50] Xaratas: not currently running an X11 desktop by any chance / [09:50] hi [09:50] Kartagis: who cares, it doesn't matter, this is a support chanel [09:50] channel [09:50] kartagis: I think the plan is to switch over to simplified chinese character set and carry on from there [09:50] I have PINK colour where WHITE shoud be..what is wrong? [09:51] damo22, huei: you have any other suggestions? [09:51] reghina, your monitor is broken [09:51] reapingwildoats: yes, create a blacklist rule that prevents automounting of /dev/sdb1 [09:51] reghina, or the cable is loose [09:51] ikonia: no, there is no X11 [09:52] where is the blacklist? [09:52] reapingwildoats: or boot up into single user mode and select root shell [09:52] Xaratas: darn, I was curious to see if update-manager complained [09:52] reapingwildoats: have u made sure the drive works on a different system ? [09:52] Xaratas: without more information I can't see how we can work out the problem package and fix it [09:52] Hi Shovel...what cable? [09:52] reghina, have you checked the cable? [09:53] reapingwildoats: we can try to work on this from a root shell with no gui it will be easier [09:53] what cable? [09:53] it appears in disk manager on windows 7 but I could not mount it as I dont have the ext4fd or whatever exe [09:53] ikonia: i will pastebin the logs [09:53] reghina, the one that goes from the monitoe to the computer [09:53] and it appears healthy [09:53] Xaratas: just having a think of how to get better info, but please pastebin anything of use [09:53] it's a lap top [09:53] reapingwildoats: do you have any data on it you want to keep? [09:53] reapingwildoats: or can we format it [09:54] nope everything is backed up [09:54] reghina, hmm when you wiggle the lid does the color work ? [09:54] yeah ill format it [09:54] Ive been using gparted [09:54] reapingwildoats: in that case reboot into single user mode [09:54] hi [09:54] I dont know what wiggle the lid means [09:54] I think I am? only one user account and I deleted guest as well [09:54] Sorry my english is not perfect :( [09:55] i've just run smartctl on my drive and i get a 'read failure' with 90% of the test remaining. can it be fixed? [09:55] should I reformat again? [09:55] reapingwildoats: no you need to hold left shift when you boot and select failsafe from grub [09:55] reghina, open and close in a small movements [09:55] I need to take my dog for a walk soon so good timing [09:55] k brb [09:55] nothing changes this way [09:56] reghina, how old is the laptop?

Ubuntu 11.10 [10:03] Mandan: an application needs a database, a username and a password to be able to use it [10:03] Mandan: the web applications web page should explain how to set that up [10:04] Xaratas: Hmmm mountall, is a broken package according to that log [10:04] What's the safest way to install a newer PHP than 5.3.6 in Ubuntu LTS 10.04 ? [10:04] mountall depends on plymouth since lucid [10:04] Xaratas: that whole dependency tree looks messed up [10:05] Mouse / trackpad not working on Ubuntu 11.10. Used to work, just stopped working (perhaps after some updates). Up to date, just did -update and - upgrade. [10:05] reghina, i think you have a broken wire inside your laptop and it is not giving the screen the color green i think is there a warranty still on it [10:05] ikonia, i try to create database as sudo mysqladmin create MySqldatabase but it shows mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed [10:05] error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' [10:05] ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/556372 i think its to see together with this bug [10:05] Logging out and back in doesn't help, nor does compiz --replace [10:05] Ubuntu bug 556372 in mountall (Ubuntu) "Please remove the plymouth dependency from mountall / cryptsetup" [Undecided,Won't fix] [10:05] Mandan: you need to specify the password with -p option [10:06] well that sucked [10:06] Xaratas: intersting [10:08] I was hoping I could get some help with a very annoying issue I am having with my Asus laptop and Ubuntu. [10:08] ikonia, I created database , how can I know that it is created and where still I cant open the index.php [10:08] ikonia: if you havent set a password before for root mysql user you should use mysqladmin to do this [10:08] damo22: I know how to do this thanks, [10:08] Mandan: what application are you trying to use [10:08] /s/ikonia/Mandan [10:08] Everytime I close the lid at the login screen I get a black screen when I open it back up.

[10:14] Awesome. Thanks for the help. [10:14] SHOVELL: possible [10:15] WaltherFI, did you have to install your own driver to make it wwork before?

[10:24] WaltherFI, how can I find that which user have permissions for php ? [10:24] reapingwildoats, When you use a flash drive is very different [10:24] Mandan: I don't know, never managed a php server, I just know something about the mechanics behind [10:24] http://askubuntu.com/questions/71867/grub-menu-doesnt-appear-when-pressing-shift [10:24] that might help [10:24] brb [10:24] i.e. the files have to be executable, the server needs to be running, etc [10:25] Hi everybody! Is something wrong with the APT of precise pangolin? I was testing the alpha-2 version, but I can't download and install any packages. [10:25] cristian_: flashdrive should work in a similar fashion as a cd, no difference [10:25] WaltherFI, Did u got any tutorial page links for understanding these stuffz ? [10:25] pjotter: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 [10:25] pjotter: #ubuntu+1 [10:25] What does that mean? [10:26] O, sorry. I get it :) [10:26] WaltherFI, yes...but [10:26] ikonia: it could be easy, but it is not: the update fails at all points it needs to change grub settings "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot (is /dev mounted?)." [10:26] WaltherFI, Thanks for u r time man !! [10:26] Mandan: google is your friend, iirc there is a simple tutorial on how to set up php on ubuntu [10:27] Mandan: probably in the official tutorials even [10:27] !php |mandan [10:27] saint google jaja [10:27] mandan: PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package. See also !lamp for integrated server PHP.

[10:28] you can use the ubuntu guide web page for any problem [10:28] *website [10:28] reapingwildoats: anything you want, its how long grub will sit before booting [10:29] sacback: what are you looking for? the installs go into various places - excecutalbes go to one place, libraries go to another, etc [10:29] sacback: i.e. you can't install anything "to a directory" [10:29] sacback: you install something, stuff goes to their appropriate places [10:29] sacback: So, what are you trying to do? [10:32] still no grub, what the hell [10:34] reapingwildoats: so what does grub have to do with your external drive with IO problems [10:35] im going to start in failsafe and reformat [10:35] grub doesn't format drives... [10:36] The mime type for .mwb(mysql workbench) files is application/zip. How should I config things so that mysql workbench doesn't open all zip files, but only ones with filename suffix mwb? [10:36] Slartibart: Doesn't the right click - open with - always types like this work? [10:37] Slartibart: change the mime type? [10:37] from grub I can boot into the fail safe though I think [10:37] WaltherFI: Mysql workbench isn't listed there =[ [10:38] Ben64: How do I do that? [10:38] reapingwildoats: you still haven't explained what you're doing with grub and an external drive, it makes no sense [10:38] Slartibart: would have to do it on the server [10:38] Slartibart: yeah, but if you rightclick one of those files [10:38] Slartibart: save one of those files on your disk, right click, open with [10:39] damo22 wants me to start grub, boot into a single user or fail safe, and reformat the drive [10:40] is the usermod -G group-name user-name command OK to add user to group [10:40] I think to fix ownership? [10:40] reapingwildoats: but you can format from normal ubuntu [10:40] WaltherFI: Right click->Properties->.. or Right click->Open with both lead to the same list of programs I think? And for some reason it's not listed there =[. I get archive handlers and stuff. [10:40] Ben64: no he cant becuase it automounts the drive with errors [10:40] then unmount it.. [10:40] it freezes [10:40] Ben64: it hangs [10:40] Ben64: But there's no server involved, mysql workbench is installed locally on my laptop. [10:41] then turn off automount [10:41] Slartibart: open with, select manually or whatever it is [10:41] Ben64: its easier to boot single mode, or do you know how to disable automount? [10:41] what was the directory with all the excecutables again? [10:41] /usr/bin perhaps? [10:41] http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/09/how-to-turn-off-automount-feature-of.html [10:41] will that do it?

[10:48] WaltherFI: I get Mysql workbench as an option when I rightclick and enter the Open with.. submenu. The thing I want to accomplish is to not have to do that each time I open an .mwb file, but simply doubleclick(currently open an archive handler). But Mysql workbench is not listed in any program lists. and if I click "search the net for programs" I only get archive handlers, which I guess is because [10:48] ..the mime type is application/zip === Guest36660 is now known as stewardf [10:48] I turned it off through system settings > removable media [10:49] plug in the external? [10:49] reapingwildoats: thats not enouhg [10:49] no [10:49] ok [10:49] how do I use gconf-editor?

See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [11:15] hi folks. would asking about zfs (from native-zfs ppa) be inappropriate? If so, where should I direct these questions? I'm using zfs on ubuntu oneiric [11:15] Ben64: It was a relevant first question though, imposing some contraints ;) [11:15] lmaowaffle: Depends... But give it a try, yet I wouldn't suggest too many would use ZFS here [11:16] ius: eh, probably not very relevant [11:16] norbert79, ok, will do :) [11:16] hmmm [11:16] ius: Just for additional info, you might want to share the version number of both applications and the problem you were experiencing.

[11:16] Yes it is, trying to hunt down a bug, afaik only the specific combo of Xfce and VLC is affected [11:16] Ubuntu and USB DAC for bit-perfect audio? http://www.thomann.de/gb/esi_dr_dac_nano.htm [11:17] I think I'll just replace it with a 4GB flash drive :) [11:17] And I should elaborate on that - I don't run Ubuntu, but am experiencing this on another distro, was wondering if Ubuntu was affected too (might help narrow down some version numbers) [11:17] hi folks. I'm rather new to zfs.. but testing it as a nas for home network. Firstly, please excuse my ignorance if these questions can be directed elsewhere (channel)I have it setup perfectly with samba shares in freebsd 8.2. As I dualboot said freebsd and ubuntu oneiric, I need to be able to access the zpool from both. The problem is that freebsd was installed first, ubuntu second (on separate disk) and I have to go into BIOS to change the [11:17] boot order of disks to boot into either. This creates a problem for me as the device enumeration will be different (from google hits - could be wrong). How do I specify the devices in /dev/disk/by-id in ubuntu that comprise the zpool?zpool import in ubuntu shows the zpool state: UNAVAIL, missing device. The command lists 2 of the 3 disks that comprise the pool as ONLINE - and no mention of the remaining disk [11:17] automount and automount_open are off now haha finally!! [11:18] oh lord, wrong paste [11:18] restart needed? Or can I plug it in now? [11:18] The actual issue is the xfce4-panel remaining visibile while VLC is supposed to be in fullscreen. Happens only with VLC, only in Xfce. Nasty. [11:18] lmaowaffle: ...pastebin?

[11:19] thanks im new to irc chats [11:19] reapingwildoats: yes [11:19] lmaowaffle: Wow... Well, even before answering: I think it's related to the filesystem handling, since FreeBSD supports ZFS from kernel, while Linux is supporting it not from default. I mean this is some very delicate question and hard to answer right now... I think some people having more ZFS experience might be able to help [11:20] lmaowaffle: Why don1t you try #zfs? [11:20] norbert79, heh [11:21] yeah it mounted >:/ [11:21] reapingwildoats: that sucks [11:21] what does that mean? [11:21] reapingwildoats: can't you just unmount it [11:21] reapingwildoats: try unmounting [11:21] k [11:21] umount -f /dev/blah [11:21] reapingwildoats: sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1 [11:21] -f is lazy ? [11:22] -f is force [11:22] norbert79, yep. I asked the question there already. The #ubuntu-destined question was actually if it were possible to allocate specific device nodes/names to harddisk partitions that would override the automatically generated ones at boot in Ubuntu for the purposes of zfs device recognition [11:22] hey guys, you know a good music download platform? it mustn't be free - i would pay for it - but i need a flatrate and a big repository of artists :-) [11:23] okay it unmounted [11:23] !ot | bananenkampf-de [11:23] bananenkampf-de: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[15:27] vindav: your system wasn't using firefox 11 [15:27] vindav: ubuntu 10.04 uses firefox 10 [15:28] ikonia: when I went to the help menu and selected 'about' it Firefox responded with version 11. [15:28] vindav: then it wasn't installed as part of ubuntu [15:28] ikonia: Originally Ubuntu 10.04 LTS comes with Firefox 10 [15:28] Did you known usa do have over 800 death camps ready To work ?

With gas chambers train railroads [15:28] vindav: it still does come with firefox 10 [15:29] Plastick coffins and ultra hight security [15:29] vindav: if you open the package manager (synaptic) search for firefox and click "install" it will install it for you [15:29] Plastick coffins and ultra hight security [15:29] hi guys how do i fix broken a broken package? ive tried sudo dkpg --configure -a, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f [15:29] Nimanicka: ? [15:29] vindav: Original came with 3.6.3, then got updated to 9.0.1... [15:29] Wake up [15:29] vindav: That came with ubuntu-updates [15:29] Nimanicka: do you need support with the ubuntu linux distribution ? [15:29] Nimanicka: That has nothing to do with the support in this channel [15:30] ikonia: ok, let me do that instruction you gave using synaptic package manager. [15:30] Sorry ikonia [15:30] Hey! How can I know the WWPN of a target HCTL on my machine? [15:30] Nimanicka: no problem [15:30] HCT actually [15:30] Where is that mapping saved [15:31] ikonia: My synaptic package manager show Firefox 11 as the latest version only. Version 10 is not there at all. [15:31] vindav: please take a screen shot and show me [15:32] ikonia: how do I give you the screen shot ?

[15:36] Hi guys. I have some weird problem: In Ubuntu 10.04 / Firefox the videos on youtube have weird colours, almost like inverted. I tried removing the cookies, reinstalling flash, nothing helped.

[15:39] vindav: Looking at that last paste, you've got firefox installed from the mozillateam ppa [15:40] ikonia: http://imagebin.org/197915 [15:40] DevilSolution: I get alot of hits on "one of your packages have unmet dependencies libreoffice" on google! Try it [15:40] vindav: Can you upload a screenshot of the Other software tab [15:41] zykotick9: how do I get rid of the mozilla PPA installed so that I can revert back to getting Firefox 10 ? [15:41] vindav: there is some ppa-purge package out there. I don't know the specifics. [15:42] Djones: http://imagebin.org/197916 [15:42] ikonia: http://imagebin.org/197916 [15:43] vindav: apt-get install firefox=9.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 , and remove the PPA then... You need to 'downgrade'. In case of Firefox I don't see any FF10 coming from official Lucid-updates [15:43] Hi! [15:43] vindav: You had the firefox-next PPA set... That's for preview versions [15:43] vindav: That does confirm it, you've got the mozillateam ppa for firefox-next in your sources list [15:43] vindav: firefox-stable is the one providing the current stable [15:44] Djones: so what do I do ? [15:44] vindav: in PPA [15:44] How do I move un allocated space from my extanded partition9/dev/sda2 to unallocated space out side of /dev/sda2? [15:44] norbert79: so what do I do ? [15:44] vindav: check personal message [15:44] i'm with a problem with some flashs in my screen and i was looking to my xorg.0.log but i dont know how can i understand it, can anyone help me? [15:45] degn, yeh it seems so, would purging or deleting libre office work? [15:45] vindav: Just hold on until ikonia comes back to make sure, I would uninstall firefox, then remove the ppa, then update my package list and then reinstall firefox which should get you back to the default version, but as you're on lucid, I'm not sure whether that has been updated [15:46] I'm using the gparted live cd... [15:46] What should I do? [15:46] DevilSolution: Just try to delete it [15:46] okay [15:46] Djones: can you find out please ? [15:47] is there anyone who can help me? [15:47] Jragon: sometimes you just cant (not easliy anyways)... you can take a screenie if you want of the gparted window [15:47] DevilSolution: Let me now if you get stuck again or if you solved it [15:47] does anyone know iptable commands? [15:47] Scarra3_: You need to ask the question first [15:47] mgalloway: i use ufw [15:47] theadmin: I have asked it many times for the past 3 days lol [15:47] My desktop has an integrated VIDIA GeForce 9100 and I want to start running ubuntu so how do I disable the integrated one because I have one in my PCI slot its an ATI Radeon HD 5770 and ubuntu doesn't boot if I have both activated and there is no way to disable it in my bios [15:47] test [15:48] D [15:48] mgalloway: like holstein says, ufw is easy! google it [15:48] well I need to update a dd-wrt router, ufw is a gui [15:48] okie dokie, opening synaptic package manager now [15:48] Scarra3_: Just load the driver for the ATI in the xorg.conf, I suppose that shall make it ignore the nvidia [15:48] iptables does more than just basic firewall [15:48] mgalloway: nah... its CLI... sudo ufw enable for example [15:48] degn "google it" is not helpfull [15:48] I've setup a VPN server with two network interfaces, can I route traffic from one to another interface? [15:49] theadmin: the problem is that ubuntu will not boot with 2 video cards [15:49] mgalloway: what are you trying to do? [15:49] I have 2 dd-wrt wrt54gl routers, one with 192.168.1.x address and the other with 192.168.2.x address. I need to update the iptables to forward packets from/to each router through their WAN ports. [15:49] Scarra3_: That's not really a problem. Append "text" to the kernel line and boot into text mode, after which do what I said [15:49] Oer: You are right, my bad :) [15:49] I need all traffic from the 1.x LAN to be forwarded to the 2.x router's WAN address. [15:49] mgalloway, did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [15:50] theadmin: plus I don't know how to install the drivers theres always somthing about turning off xserver [15:50] Scarra3_: i have not encoutered that... i believe its due to the type of cards and drivers... i would try some live CD's and see if you can get to a desktop.. even using a knoppix live CD could be helpful... you can "borrow" the xorg.conf from there if it works [15:50] Oer: will this help me as well :P [15:50] holstein: It wont work :( [15:50] mgalloway: sounds like routing rather than port manipulation... or am i missing the point [15:50] I'm on the Gparted live cd === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [15:50] Jragon: ?... the screen shot?... [15:50] quit [15:50] it's not port manipulation. It is routing all traffic [15:50] elloo [15:50] yeah, it doesn't take a proper screene [15:51] Scarra3_: Meh. sudo apt-get install fglrx # For ATI drivers [15:51] mgalloway: if there's no NAT involved then all you should need is a static route [15:51] holstein: Well, third time luck, postimage.org/image/hsc08ddap/ [15:51] Jragon: well... you can take a picture with a cell phone.. you can start describing the layout... you can run fdisk -l and go from there [15:51] anyone use evolution with Exchange server? [15:51] ok, how would I set a static route for both tcp/udp traffic? [15:52] it is a static route, I just dont know the iptable commands to do it. [15:52] mgalloway: a static IP? you can do that in the gui.. i have never needed to do that to maintain my ddwrt routers though [15:53] mgalloway: you wouldn't use iptables to setup a static route. There is an Advanced Routing tab under the Setup tab of DD-WRT [15:53] for example I want machines behind one ddrwt router on the 192.168.1.x address to be able to ping machines behind another ddwrt router with machines having 192.168.2.x addresses [15:54] mgalloway: it depends on the network topology [15:54] holstein: I want ot move the unallocated in sda2 to the unallocated out side of it, so I can have a new os install [15:54] I am trying to mount my SSD, but ubuntu doesn't detect it. Kernel: 2.6.32-38-generic | fdisk -l doesn't show SSD | dmesg doesn't show my SATA 3 Ports [15:54] I see the advanced routing tab. Why would it depend on the topology? [15:55] mgalloway: because it depends if the 192.168.2.x machines are on the same wire as the 192.168.1.x machines [15:55] freeminds: i would probable try live CD's till i see it, then make a note of the kernel version, and make sure the hardware is functioning [15:55] mgalloway: the network topology will tell you how to setup the routes [15:55] holstein, the bios detects the SSD [15:56] so I guess ubuntu should show me at least anything [15:56] *something [15:56] but I will try the live-cd option [15:56] freeminds: correct.. but in this case, i would not need to "guess" [15:56] would I not just use the advanced routing tab, set destination lan net to the public IP of the other router? [15:57] holstein: Can I do that with GParted? [15:57] freeminds: its likely just a compatibility issue like you are assuming though... you could poke around for a bug report [15:57] quit [15:57] mgalloway: i dont know how your network is connected [15:57] holstein, ok thanks. [15:57] I have 2 routers connected by a switch [15:57] mgalloway: you need to set the routes on both routers at the same time so the "response" packets know how to get back [15:57] both routers have a public WAN IP address though. [15:58] Jragon: you cant just install to that empty space? [15:58] I don't think so, it's a windows os [15:58] mgalloway, two different wan ip addresses? [15:58] yes [15:58] If i can I cetainly will... [15:58] Jragon: you can load up the installation CD and remove all doubt [15:58] Okay [15:59] mgalloway: ... so you got two separate LANs with two separate internet connections and you want them to talk to each other ...? [15:59] 2 ddwrt routers, both with unique public IP addresses [15:59] mgalloway: do you just need a small amount of hosts pingable? [15:59] yes [15:59] mgalloway: sounds more like you want VPNs [15:59] yup.. a VPN tunnel is appropriate for that setup [15:59] I'd rather just update the iptables and not use VPN [16:00] cant you just hook a wire from the lan side to the lan side of each [16:00] mgalloway: AFAIK, that wont work [16:00] you could always use 10.10.x.x instead if they are at the same site [16:00] theadmin: Shouldn't I go with the drivers from ATI's website? [16:00] and use the same subnet [16:00] Scarra3_: No. Don't unless you're sure you need them... Repositories make more sense [16:01] theadmin: But arn't the drivers from ATI's website made specificly for my card [16:01] mgalloway: iptables would probably be able to do what you want by NAT'ing and MASQUERADING the packets but it will be **horribly** complicated. IIRC even the basic versions of DD-WRT have PPTP built in. Try that [16:01] the two routers are in the same room. But I want it to work if I get a 3rd router and have a site somewhere else. [16:02] i dont know enough about vpn to help you [16:02] degn, sorted, i removed libre office and replaced it with emacs and used sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get install -f to clean and re-downlaod the eclipse tar file that i guess was corrupted :) [16:03] I only know enough to know what I need, I just dont know the best way to go about it [16:03] Scarra3_: No, lol, you think you're special? There's pretty much a single driver for most ATI cards nowadays [16:03] Scarra3_: fglrx, that is [16:03] I think the advanced routing tab in ddwrt is what I need [16:03] mgalloway: cant you just hook a wire from the LAN side to the LAn side of each router and add a static route to the routing table of each router [16:03] theadmin: So the fglrx drivers are better and the ATI ones? [16:04] Scarra3_: Err... They ARE the ATI drivers [16:04] yes, but I need this to work across the internet too [16:04] mgalloway: no, your traiic will get lost. The 192.168.x.x address space is pfor private LANs only. Your ISP will not route [16:04] mgalloway: I would recommend a vpn then [16:04] theadmin: I thought they were ones created by other individuals not by ati [16:04] ciao a tutti [16:04] anyone here use WiFiDog on Ubuntu Server? === siric is now known as siric|afk [16:05] tonio: try english or #ubuntu.it [16:05] I know the 192 addresses are private, but the routers have public WAN addresses, cant i set a static route to their public addresses? [16:06] you will get packets going in a circle [16:06] why's that? [16:07] mgalloway: it might work... i'm trying to work out just what will happen. This is such a "natural" situation for a VPN that I've never encountered such a setup [16:08] when you set a route, you provide the ip address and the gateway the packets are sent to, but where would you set the ip address of the remote router? [16:08] theadmin: are the fglrx drivers automatically in ubuntu 11.10 or do I need to install them seperatly [16:08] example would be machine (1.113) pings machine (2.100) I set a static route from 1.113's router to 2.100's router. assuming I allow incoming communication on both routers, shouldnt this work? [16:08] Scarra3_: They're propertiary so we don't include them on the CD. You need to do "sudo apt-get install fglrx" [16:09] mgalloway: no I don't think routing will work. Even theough the packets from the source LAN will have ther private address rewritten by NAT on the first router the target address will still be the private LAN of the second network so your ISP will blackhole the packets [16:09] mgalloway.. sorry i'm entering this late... for clarification what is your router? [16:09] did you say DDWRT? [16:09] I know this is common for VPN, but if a simple static route will work, I'd rather do that [16:09] wrt54gl, dd-wrt vpn version [16:09] i see [16:10] i wouldnt do a static route [16:10] mgalloway: do you also use a spanner to drive home nails? [16:10] mainly for what flintwingel said [16:10] lol [16:10] but in theory it could work [16:10] the admin: Thanks for the help I have been trying to solve this problem for a while now I just need to find out if my other hardware is supported I know my web cam is but im not sure about my wireless [16:10] not if they are both connected to the wan port tho [16:10] Scarra3_: "iwlist wlan0 scan" returns anything? [16:11] Scarra3_: If it does, your wireless likely works :D [16:11] to be honest your best bet is vpn between the two routers [16:11] i know thats not the solution you are looking for [16:11] vindav: I'm back, did you resolve the issue ? [16:11] trever420: AFAIK its two router with two separate internet connections that just happen to be in the same room at the moment [16:12] I'm not in ubuntu right now lol its a netgear N600 [16:12] fascinating [16:12] mgalloway: another way is to set the subnets to be the same 192.168.1.x and switch off dhcp on one of the routers [16:12] ikonia: norbert79 help me through everything step by step for a complete solution. :D [16:12] vindav: great, so your sorted. [16:12] right but that limits the number of machines I can have [16:12] mgalloway: you need more than 255 machines? [16:12] solol [16:13] lol* [16:13] I'm connecting clouds, so lots of vm's [16:13] Only things I am worried about not working is my wireless, keyboard & mouse, and web camera btw how does skype on ubuntu compare to skype on windows and should I go with x64 or the x86 version of ubuntu I have an AMD Athlon x4 2.6 GHz and 6 GB of Ram === Slor is now known as MetalHelp [16:13] Scarra3_: use 64bit if your cpu supports it. === MetalHelp is now known as Slor [16:13] Dr_willis1: thanks [16:13] Scarra3_: If you have more than 3 GB of RAM you *really* should use the 64-bit version, otherwise you'll be wasting system resources [16:14] mgalloway: i find it difficult to believe you require more than 255 machines as a home user [16:14] It's not for home use. It's a cloud environment [16:14] hey there, i'm running windows xp in a virtualbox on oneiric. i want to install the guest additions but virtualbox promted that it was unable to download the guest additions from oracle server. what can i do? [16:14] Ya I used ubuntu before but that was a long time about I am trying to make the perminent switch to linux since I really don't like windows and don't use it for anything more than web surfing [16:15] mgalloway what's wrong with using a VPN if you dont mind my asking? [16:15] I have 15 machines behind 1 router, and about 10 behind the other, both routers having vpn interfaces for users, and hosting 60-70 virtual machines [16:15] i mean u have DDWRT VPN which allows that i'm sure [16:15] mgalloway: if you use 192.x and you're trying to ge that to route between the two routers over the public internet, you should realize that means anyone can get into your subnets. If you do manage to get them to talk to each other with static routes, nothing will prevent rouge traffic from also entering your networks, and all traffic between them will be visible over the public internet. [16:15] Scarra3_: you do know that MS bought skype? :) [16:15] I know [16:16] i second what mbeier1 says [16:16] Dr_willis1: sadly they did [16:16] yes, i have the vpn version of ddwrt, I was only trying not to use the option for creating a vpn tunnel between the routers [16:16] Scarra3_, with 6gb of ram, I'd vote for 64 bit. [16:16] Dr_willis1: but I live in Okinawa so its the only way I can talk to friends and family in america [16:16] Scarra3_: google has extended their phone thing free for another year. Not sure how well it works on ubuntu however. I rarely use VOIP stuff [16:16] Question: What is the point of a listserv? Mailman seems to be a popular option? [16:17] Scarra3_: I belive theres other chat tools. but it depends on what they use also. [16:17] how is called the thing that mounts disks in /media? [16:17] Dr_willis1: They use skype [16:18] Lint: Most automatic mounting is handled by GVFS [16:18] Educate them in others :) [16:18] Scarra3_, btw, I use skype on 64b Linux and it works well for me. Not sure about the latest (v5?) with three-way calling, though [16:18] thanks guys for all of your help. I will look into this more, and see if I have any other questions! [16:18] i mean specifically hd partition mounting [16:19] mbeierl: Do I download skype from their website or the repos [16:19] skype in the repos is good! use it since yesterday [16:19] Lint: I beleive that's done via fstab. At least the most sane way to d othat would be that. [16:19] Hi, some one know why i cant see bootslash(bootscreen) before login screen, its only black until bootscreen.. [16:20] not fs tab, the automatic mounting of partitions in gnome xfce kade other des, how is it make with what software? [16:20] hi all, I'm having trouble changing login window theme... the "login window" option doesn't exist in my "administration" menu, just "login screen"... [16:21] Lint: Gnome? GVFS. KDE has it's own libs too, and I beleive XFCE uses the same way as gnome does [16:21] mgalloway: you could use 10.x.x.x addresses and not be restricted by 255 machines on the one subnet [16:21] qo_op: the plymouth stuff has issues with some video card drivers. theres some work arounds. but i just disable the pointless plymouth eyecandy [16:21] are you trying to troll me or what? [16:21] Lint: lolwut? No. I'm just saying exactly how it is. [16:21] EtgarDizz: what ubuntu version are you using? [16:22] Lint: Don't want my help? Fine, I'll stop talking. Not that I care. [16:22] Dr_willis1: 11.04 with gnome classic theme [16:22] if they all are mounted in /media in same way in all des it must be same software, don;t feed me disinformation [16:22] What's the package name for the Printing settings in the System Settings? [16:22] <_Marcus> Hello, ActionParsnip yesterday told me to edit /etc/default/grub and add something to it to run command line(not load GUI), Seeing how ActionParsnip isn't here, what do I add there? [16:23] #backtrack-it [16:23] Lint: look into fuse (possibly udev as well) [16:23] Dr_willis1, kk, i just see a black screen, no text on booting :/ [16:23] Lint, you mean automatic mounting of external drives and cds? [16:23] EtgarDizz: if its using the gdm3 - i dont think its very themeable at all. you can do some minor changes - wallpaper and a few otehr things. [16:23] <_Marcus> So what do I add to /etc/default/grub to make it run command line instead of GUI? [16:23] EtgarDizz: i recall some tricks to run the gnome settings tools as the gdm user, that let you change the fonts and colors and a few other things. [16:24] Lint: They're mounted in /media just because it's the standard place for this stuff. Look at FHS. [16:24] EtgarDizz: but its a bit of a hassle [16:24] !text | _Marcus [16:24] _Marcus: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [16:24] i have no qualification required to look into anything, but I need to know how the mount options for hard drive partitions are defined [16:24] <_Marcus> zykotick9: Thank you [16:24] !udev [16:24] Lint: harddrive partitions are generally not mounted in /media [16:24] Lint: options are specified in /etc/fstab [16:25] of course they are [16:25] i had the same problem with a black splash screen. To fix it i used the grub boot repair disc [16:25] /media is usually removable devices [16:25] Dr_willis1: so what needs to be different in my installation in order to see the login window options? [16:25] auto mounting is a differnt aspect then system partitions. [16:26] what does this meens *** Notice -- TS for #ubuntu.no changed from 1328717042 to 1264836165 ? [16:26] with the repair disc there is an option to show splash screen without the need to re-install grub or mess about with any settings [16:26] EtgarDizz: Not sure. I recall running the gnome settings as the gdm user and changeing the colors. and tweaking the default wallpaper. I think theres some info on doing it on the webupd8 blog site and most likely on the askubuntu.com site. I use 11.10 now. so dont recall much about gdm3 tweaking. [16:26] yo guys [16:26] qo_op: it means the timestamp on the channel join was updated [16:26] im having an argument friend of mine Windows vs Linux..what are some of the points i can use?

[16:29] qo_op: maybe bad time of day there or something, i am not sure [16:29] Lint: the options are determained between udev and (used to be hal) depenidng on things such as file system type [16:29] EtgarDizz: 11.10 switched to lightdm - which is not very themeable at all either. So i suggest not worrying about trying to theme the login screen, other then perhaps to change the wallpaper. === e01 is now known as e01[at]home [16:29] EtgarDizz: thats one reason i dont re,mer how to tweak gdm3 :) [16:29] I'm in a vmware virtual machine...if I leave my machine on htop shows that I gradually keep using more and more swp memory...this is over hours and hours...does anyone have any idea why this is happening? [16:29] now I believe hal is totally defunct in this process [16:29] ikonia, are they hardcoded or in config file somewhere? [16:30] got it, thanks:) [16:30] <_Marcus> What, I just added "text", did "sudo update-grub", and restarted the Ubuntu machine, and it still went to GUI [16:30] I thought it was udev rules... [16:30] Lint: I believe part hard coded part dyanmic depending on the option, eg: the mount point is taken from the device label (therefore dyanamic) [16:30] Dr_willis1: don't think the udev rules set the mount options, it used to be done through hal === Mud is now known as Guest45207 [16:31] qo_op: i believe its actually #ubuntu-no [16:31] quiescens, LOL! eppic fail!

[16:52] shrugs [16:53] be carefull with 'gksudo nautilus' [16:53] hello ive installed vsftp server when i want to go to config that in /etc/vsftpfd.conf i see the example file anybody knows how i can see the original config file ?

[16:54] on unrelated note: is -generic kernel flavour in ubuntu a desktop kernel or not?

I haven't had an issue with this in the past. I am running Ubuntu 11.04. lspci - 08:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [16:57] I have a question about the $PATH variable... when I echo $PATH, /usr/local/bin is not in the output; however, it *is* in PATH in my /etc/environment file [16:58] pittstains: /etc/environment is not used [16:59] ikonia: where is the default $PATH set, then? [16:59] Looking for Linux to run perfectly at 400 mhz 128 ram [16:59] pittstains: use ~/.profile to set your PATH [16:59] pittstains: in your home directory [17:00] Looking for Linux to run perfectly at 400 mhz 128 ram pls [17:00] Marto, intel/ppc? [17:00] zykotick9, ikonia: I don't want to do that for every user on the system; do you know where the default path is set? === Gskellig|away is now known as Gskellig [17:01] it's strange, /usr/local/bin *used* to be in my path, and then i logged in and it wasn't... i'm not sure what changed... [17:01] Marto: perhaps tiny core linux, or some puppy linux variant. [17:01] Marto: id say check out puppy first. === jason is now known as Guest76406 [17:02] AMD Sempron === Guest76406 is now known as jason__ [17:02] well, /etc/environment technically is used, but you could potentially have some .profile or other script changing the path at a later point [17:03] I wouldn't recommend puppy linux as most software will not run on it properly [17:03] quiescens: yeah, the doc here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#System-wide_environment_variables) suggests that /etc/environment indeed *should* be used [17:03] anything that just sets PATH rather than appending could end up ignoring any other changes you make [17:03] this is all nothing to do with ubuntu [17:03] try ##linux for generic linux help [17:03] good afternoon all, I upgraded too 11.10 last night (yea yea.. late too the party..) and all is going well except for one thing: firefox refuses too start. an'd i'm not getting any useful output from the terminal [17:03] getting anything else running well on a 400mhz machine with 128 ram. will be a bigger issue [17:04] Lubuntu Might work 'ok' but even then. more ram would definatly help. [17:04] pittstains: you could edit /etc/skel/.profile and new users would get you defined PATH [17:04] is there a general consensus for a preferred backup/restore program for 10.10 64 bit...... or, perhaps a similar choice for ones to avoid? [17:05] hello [17:06] ahoy, poping in here as I am looking for someone with in-depth experience with sudoers :D [17:06] kyron_: just ask the question [17:06] anyone here familiar with using Defaults:%group env_keep+="ENV1 ENV2 " syntax? [17:06] cryptodira: there isn't a "general consensus" for anything in gnu/linux :p (for example, i don't think backup/restore needs a program, it needs organization and cp/rsync IMO) [17:07] ikonia: yes yes, I don't ask to ask usually, a minimal intro usually ;) [17:07] * Lint wonders who is paying for mirrors hosting worldwide [17:07] quiescens: any thoughts on where $PATH might be getting overwritten? there's nothing about it my .bashrc and .profile has this: PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" (appending rather than overwriting) [17:08] kyron_: if used the syntax for a specific root enviornment [17:08] my problem is that I have an entry such as: Defaults:%group_of_users env_keep+="BINDIR LIBPATH" and sudo complains [17:08] nevermind.. It crashed during the ypgrade and the ./.mozilla/firefox/lastcrash never got deleted [17:08] kyron_: is this an ubuntu machine ? [17:08] ikonia: nope [17:08] I am curious as to how to dual-boot windows 7 and ubuntuwhile still maintaining the windows MBR [17:08] kyron_: ok - so why are you asking in #ubuntu [17:08] kyron_: this is for Ubuntu support, [17:08] cause I know you guys _really_ love sudo :P [17:08] pittstains: maybe /etc/profile [17:08] kyron_: please don't ask in here [17:08] hello. can someone explain how to edit the xorg.conf file for good usage of an ati radeon 9550 card? here's my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/k0NHAKAx . Using Ubuntu 10.04 [17:08] what is the comand for listing all HW ? [17:09] ikonia: aye! suggestions (I don't expect a sudo channel to exist ;) [17:09] kyron_: I think there is a sudo channel [17:09] zykotick9, cp/rsync it is! Thank You. [17:09] Ahoalton, I doubt modern grub can do it. I remember in 2001 it was possible [17:10] qo_op: perhaps installing lshw would meet your needs? there isn't a default place to list all hardware. [17:10] quiescens: /etc/profile does not contain references to PATH, and /etc/profile.d is empty... any other ideas? [17:10] Ahoalton: you can tell the windows boot loader to boot grub, or you can tell ubuntu to boot the windows boot loader, [17:10] pittstains: there are quite a few possibilities and i don't know which, depends on your shell if applicable, desktop environment, other thingies [17:10] pittstains: go to ctrl-alt-f1 and log into the console and check your path there too [17:10] ikonia: I how do I tell ubuntu to boot the windows boot loader, most of the time i istall ubuntu it auto over writes the win mbr [17:11] can somebody please pastebin me a plain default fresh installation /etc/group? i just used usermod -G (without the --append M) [17:11] quiescens: no desktop environment, server only -- does that make things simpler? [17:11] Ahoalton: using MS's bootloader is going to be a big pain, with NO benefit. [17:11] Yep. Grub/grub2 is much handier. [17:12] pittstains: bash profile, bash rc, etc [17:12] grep the files in /etc/ for mention of PATH I think its set in differnt places [17:12] pittstains: pam, sshd [17:13] quiescens: hadn't thought of those! checking them out... [17:13] ahoalton: during the install, if you go for the custom disk layout you can tell the installer to load onto whichever partition ubuntu is installed on (e.g. /dev/sda2) instead of /dev/sda [17:14] Hello all. I am hoping someone can help me or at least provide some information. Is it possible to setup Ubuntu with 5 monitors? [17:14] My workstation uses 5 monitors and it would be fantastic to get off of Windows 7 and move to Ubuntu. [17:14] Snyperx|work: should be possible. if you got the video cards with the outputs. but ive had issues when using 3+ [17:14] easybcd will then help you configure the windows boot loader to handle multiple OSs [17:14] pittstains: sollowing Dr_willis1's grep suggestion, /etc/login.defs looks interesting [17:15] Snyperx|work: my issue was differnt video cards were needing didffernt drivers. with identical cards. it should be easier. [17:15] I am using two ATI cars [17:15] errr.cards [17:15] back, got disconnected [17:15] any ideas zykotick9 [17:15] I try to avoid ati. :) [17:15] cant somebody just put his /etc/group on pastebin.com please? [17:15] Ahoalton: using MS's bootloader is going to be a big pain, with NO benefit. (it is possible, but i certainly wouldn't know how) [17:16] i cannot find my bootloader, where is it on ubuntu? [17:16] the security features [17:16] why am i denied to /opt/test ? i am in the same group, and this dir has mod: 775 [17:16] ahoalton: during the install, if you go for the custom disk layout you can tell the installer to load onto whichever partition ubuntu is installed on (e.g. /dev/sda2) instead of /dev/sda [17:16] easybcd will then help you configure the windows boot loader to handle multiple OSs [17:16] whad does that mean sda, sda2 [17:17] guys .. if i want to mount /var with noexec what mountpoint does apt-get use that needs exec? /var/run ? [17:17] i have /boot/grub/menu.lst but it contains some junk [17:17] /dev/sda is a reference to the entire first hard disk, /dev/sda2 is the second partition on that disk. [17:18] hey, i want to sync files between two folders. i tried rsync, but it only sync in one direction... any idea? [17:18] bananenkampf-de: use rsync and swap the source destination... easy [17:18] bananenkampf: try unison [17:19] zykotick9, i don't understand... sorry - can you explain [17:19] flintwingel, isn't uniscon deprecated? [17:19] *unison [17:19] bananenkampf-de: "rsync ... a b" then "rsync .. b a" [17:20] so I have an encryptfs home directory on another partition [17:20] i'm trying to make the switch from gnome to kde, but i was wondering, nautilus has an awesome "type" functionality where you can just randomly type a name which is searched locally, does dolphin have something equivalent? [17:20] how do I access my ubuntu machine from windows using vino [17:20] how do I open it if the installation is broken? [17:20] I'm currently using another installation on the same PC [17:21] anyone? i have: groupadd grp; adduser sedeki grp; chgrp /opt/dir grp; chmod 775 /opt/dir; [17:21] bananenkampf-de: don't know... I've been using it for years and still do [17:21] and $ >/opt/dir/test gives permission denied [17:21] blitz with any vncviewer program on windows [17:21] zykotick9: 2 runs of rsync won't necessarily catch clashes where the same file has changed on both systems === Karmak23 is now known as Karmak233 [17:22] sedeki: groups are fiddly and will require a new login to update [17:22] the owner is root -- does that change anything? [17:22] Dr_willis1, what's a good free one? [17:22] flintwingel: that's true, and i've run into that :( [17:22] I am told "You have to setup a mount point for thumbnails in your web server configuration." [17:22] tightvnc? [17:22] blitz i dont know of any you pay for. Theres dozens of them out there. [17:22] thank you [17:22] quiescens, what do you mean, restart? [17:22] "You have to setup a mount point for thumbnails in your web server configuration." i have setup an alias on apache2 configuration but i think i need to _mount_ the folder, how to do that? [17:23] what does unison do when the files are changed in both folders? [17:23] sedeki: log out and back in, or restart if you choose to [17:23] bananenkampf-de: i would expect it asks you which you want to keep [17:23] Can anyone tell me if Ubunut will eventually support more than 2 monitors? === Karmak233 is now known as karmak23 [17:24] Currently using a Windows 7 5 monitor setup and would like to go to a 5 monitor Ubunut setup. [17:24] bananenkampf-de: it will flag a clash and ask you if you want to overwrite one the the other, or leave both alone [17:24] Snyperx|work: it does now, and has for a long time (i'm not sure if Unity supports more then 2 monitors) [17:24] Snyperx|work: they are working on it: http://design.canonical.com/2012/01/multi-monitor-update-and-greeter-prototype/ (I think a previous blog post showed a test system with 6 monitors) [17:24] http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ttf2pt1 << has this been replaced with something else? [17:25] quiescens, works. thanks a million. is there an alternative way than to logout? [17:25] i cant even imagine using 5 monitors.. id need a bigger desk [17:25] My desk is plenty big [17:25] flintwingel, okay thank you... is it neccessary to create a profile or can i easily execute something like... "unison folder1 folder2?" [17:25] ;-) [17:25] Unity in 11.10 does have issues with multi monitors.. i hear in 12.x its getting much improved [17:26] I have 3 24" monitors and 2 27" monitors [17:26] theres always other window managers. [17:26] "Enter the mount passphrase you recorded when you setup the mount--this passphrase is different from your login passphrase." you have to be fucking kidding me [17:26] sedeki: not really, permissions are inherited from the login process, after that, your processes are running as your user, and the user doesn't have permission to increase/change its privelidges === Snyperx|work is now known as Snyperx|lunch [17:26] smjms: language [17:27] ok [17:27] in some cases it's justified [17:27] bananenkampf-de:you will need a profile - if you use the graphical version (unison-gtk) it will walk you through creating a profile. It will help if you have ssh set up between the machines [17:27] zykotick9 is it better to create a blank partition myself and let ubuntu occupy it or is it better to let ubuntu make the partion it will reside in? [17:27] Ahoalton: i see no difference [17:28] okay flintwingel, i found a nice blog entry about unison... a good entry to the usage of the software. thank you! [17:28] I prefer to make my own partitions and mount /tmp noexec [17:28] which the installer does not do [17:28] smjms: it's not here (and further discussion about our channel policies happens on #ubuntu-ops or in PM) [17:29] hello all, i want to show in a small square on the desktop a picture from www, which is reloaded once or twice a day. is there someone out there giving me a hint? on lxde [17:30] mufflon, what do you mean on the desktop? merged into the desktop image? [17:31] Hey how can i use the "loacte" command in ubunt? i have tryed to run "sudo updatedb and then locate file.name" but nothing happens [17:31] sedeki: yes, like a kind of dock/app [17:31] perhaps === Mud is now known as Guest94768 [17:31] qo_op: if it returns nothing, nothing is found [17:32] Tm_T: do you have a encrypted home directory? [17:32] iter, ? [17:32] Tm_T, i dosent return nothing even files i know i got [17:32] qo_op: interesting [17:32] smjms: not currently, but have tested it, why asking? [17:33] Tm_T, see pm [17:33] hi, is pptpd superseded? [17:33] qo_op: lots of things aren't included, encrypted homes, tmpfs, proc, and so on [17:33] Lint: ga [17:33] does unison open a network-port? [17:34] quiescens, see pm it shud locate this [17:35] mm lunch [17:35] is there no way to recover files from an encrypted home directory? is it that safe? [17:36] mathematical: no. [17:36] but practically [17:37] anyone seeding the ubuntu iso? [17:37] how can i remove the menubar from gnome-terminal as default? [17:37] smjms, if you don't know the password, then no, there is no way to get to the contents. And that is on purpose... [17:37] sedeki, via profile options [17:37] ^ [17:38] ikt [17:38] I have my login password but the documentation says it's not the same [17:38] ikt i thing there are enough ;) [17:38] seeding the iso? [17:38] of cause.. [17:38] smjms, when the encryption was set up, it would have asked you for a password. [17:38] ikt, which one iso exactly? [17:39] oh yeah, my problem is that it frequently says Tracker: [Couldn't resolve host name] [17:39] it's only on ubuntu and elementary os, all other torrents seem to be ok [17:39] I don't remember having to type a password twice during the installation === mang0 is now known as Seryth [17:40] Lint, gnome-terminal (gnome3) shows it anyway .. [17:41] there's no recovery agents in linux disc encription? that's a fail [17:41] that doesn't make any sense? [17:42] usually the actual encryption doesn't use the passwords as typed, the passwords are used to decrypt a key which is what the encryption uses, the point of doing it that was is so that people can change their passwords without having to reencrypt everything [17:43] so can I use my login password to decrypt that key? [17:43] ikt, which tracker is not reachable ? http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/announce ? [17:43] i guess, if the key is still intact [17:44] ikt, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/announce is up [17:44] anybody use gtk-vnc [17:44] where do I find it? also that instruction should be put here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering_Your_Data_Manually [17:45] I have 2 profiles when I start my terminal.. however when I change to the one I want to use, it changes for that terminal session.. but when I close and open a new one it goes back to the orginal profile... how do I make it stick? [17:45] sedeki: I believe this is a bug with gnome-terminal and appmenu conflicting, if you remove the appmenu packages (indicator-appmenu, appmenu-gtk) it should work successfully [17:46] what does appmenu do otherwise? [17:46] Lint: heh, turns out I had the ipv6 and regular trackers listed but with a blank line in the middle -_- [17:46] sedeki: it shows the menu in the panel in unity or gnome fallback if you have indicator-applet [17:46] wow and changing the tracker list just wiped out my ratio [17:46] nice [17:47] smjms: probably in /home/.ecryptfs/ somewhere, but the file locations have changed a lot so it probably depends on which release, and when the user was created, etc, etc === Pratik_away is now known as Pratik [17:47] can someone tell me how to simply mount a folder into another folder? [17:47] someone was asking about syncing 2 folders.. just saw this posting on webupd8 --> FreeFileSync is a muti-platform folder comparison and synchronization tool [17:47] cordoval: mkdir other_folder sudo mount /dev/sdx /other_folder [17:48] http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/ Looks nifty [17:48] somnambulant: Do you want two profiles, or just one? [17:48] ikt: why /dev/sdx though [17:48] my keyboard types an infinite number of h chars after a window with a form gets the focus [17:48] cordoval: mounting a folder dosent really make sence.. you mean mount a device to 2 differnt locations? [17:48] what should I do? [17:48] If i tap the h button once it stops [17:48] Dr_willis1: ikt: I am told You have to setup a mount point for thumbnails in your web server configuration. [17:49] i already did the alias on apache2 [17:49] Alias /mountpoint /path/to/thumbnail/folder [17:49] hwoever not sure how to do the mounting on the filesystem [17:49] cordoval: you can mount whever you want.. mount /dev/sdz1 /pick/some/folder/webstuff/whatever [17:49] but the whole mount point for thumbnails.. seems weird. [17:49] dpkg is retarded [17:50] Unless they are uing the term mount in some other way then what we are thinking of. [17:50] hello everyone [17:50] Dr_willis1: ikt http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/ji4qrh0y/Selection_178.png [17:51] hello mate [17:51] i am in need of some help as i am a newb.

[17:52] rylcdn: i combination of error messages and google [17:52] ive googled the ubuntu site for answers [17:52] sedeki: this is the bug, although it gets a bit offtopic, and seems to be fixed in 12.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-gtk/+bug/787465 [17:52] Ubuntu bug 787465 in gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) "View->Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:52] but nothing is very straightforward, or seemingly working [17:53] rylcdn: what error message is coming up specifically?

[18:40] trism, how can I record sounds from the alsa plug-in [chrome]? [18:40] SJr: in 11.10 it is lightdm [18:40] no_gravity: then likely grub cant mount encrypted fs, it requires the unencrypted boot volume to mount it [18:40] <_monk_> encrypted volumes is a security feature [18:40] <_monk_> no pain there [18:41] damo22: yes. it uses the unencrypted boot volume. but now, that one doesnt unencrypt the encrypted volume anymore. it just boots into its own little debian base system. [18:41] _monk_: it would be painful if you lose the password or the ability to mount it [18:41] Heya [18:41] c [18:41] <_monk_> well, who does that?

[18:45] hullo [18:46] i just recently got a good external hard drive, and i just plugged it in, and it isn't showing up; do i have to mount it or something? [18:46] damo22: where can i tell grub "sda7 is /boot and / is in an encrypted partition in the lvm in sda8"? [18:46] i looked in the "system profile", and it says it is there [18:46] however, when i go to "my computer", it isn't present [18:46] no_gravity: when you do sudo fdisk -l what comes up? [18:46] no_gravity, /etc/fstab [18:47] Stelpa: check /media/ [18:48] lekremyelsew: what do you mean? [18:48] no_gravity: i mean, youre currently using the tiny /boot as / right? so if you can mount /dev/sda8 on a mountpoint you might be able to reconfigure grub [18:48] damo22: my partitions [18:48] ThinkT510: nothing is there [18:48] :\ === Blauskae1M is now known as BlauskaerM [18:48] no_gravity: what is the type of /dev/sda8 [18:48] no_gravity, sorry, that was rather unclear, that file has all the associations for partitions and mount points [18:49] damo22: sda8 is an lvm. it contains several encrypted partitions.

[18:52] damo22: im booted into ubuntu right now. it doesnt know anything about sda8. [18:52] bobweaver: kk, then paste the errorlog [18:52] no_gravity, you should make sure that fstab knows what device is going to be / but i think for getting the decryption thing to run before during boot you'll have to look at grub settings (/boot/grub/grub.cfg) [18:52] Stelpa: if you do then ntfs is likely what you want to format it in [18:52] midori: /build/buildd/cairo-1.10.2/src/cairo-surface.c:1287: cairo_surface_set_device_offset: Assertion `status == CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS' failed.

[18:55] lekremyelsew: it doesnt say anything about sda8. it seems to refer to the partitions by uids. [18:55] ThinkT510: primary or extended partition? [18:55] ThinkT510: btw, thank you for the help so far ^_^ [18:55] no_gravity: can you find the line that looks like mounting an encrypted fs [18:56] is there website show the news for ubuntu ? [18:56] Stelpa: how many partitions are you planning on having on the external drive? (no worries :)) [18:56] damo22: im not sure sda7/etc/fstab is really involved when sda7 is only used as /boot. [18:56] no_gravity, "sudo blkid" should tell you which UUIDs correspond to each device [18:56] no_gravity: youre right [18:56] damo22: no, doesnt look like there is anything related to encryption there.

[18:57] damo22: no [18:58] ThinkT510: one; i am not going to use it as a main hd, only backup and storage :-) [18:58] so one partition then?

[18:59] no_gravity: all the work of mounting your /sda8 === jtrucks is now known as trucks [18:59] no_gravity, hmm, i think the service you need is provided by a daemon but i don't know where to configure those in debian/ubuntu === trucks is now known as jtrucks [19:00] My Firefox 10 crashes quite often when using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Is there something that allevate this ? [19:00] no_gravity: can we try mounting /dev/sda8 in your ubuntu [19:00] zeozan: planet.ubuntu.com ? [19:00] no_gravity: it might turn up some clues [19:00] damo22: mounting an lvm? hmm... i dont know how to do that.

(in the "my computer" menu?) [19:01] Raymond_: using alien is "generally" not the greatest idea [19:01] no_gravity: ohhh , um not sure either [19:01] bobweaver: and that messange do you get when you try to start the mysqlserver? [19:01] damo22: i will google for a while., [19:02] BlauskaerM: no just as I typed up a couple of lines [19:02] Stelpa: not familiar with the my computer menu thing, but you can use gparted to give the partition a label, that would likely be it's name when you plug it in then [19:02] BlauskaerM: sudo /etc/init.d/mysqlserver start ? [19:02] no_gravity, found something :) the service for mounting lvm volumes is found in the initramfs [19:02] no_gravity: try grep -r sda7/grub [19:03] ThinkT510: thanks!!!

[19:06] BlauskaerM: found a error: Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [19:06] no_gravity: yes [19:06] damo22: i wonder why ubuntu fucked around with sda7. it has no business there.

[19:08] no_gravity: something is mismatched between the two grubs [19:08] damo22: two grubs in mbr and sda7? [19:08] bobweaver: And nothing in /var/log/mysql.log ? [19:08] no_gravity: there is only one grub in mbr [19:09] BlauskaerM: you got it [19:09] nothing in there either BlauskaerM [19:09] How do i see the source code of the linux system after i have enables it in the ubuntu uodate settings ? [19:09] no_gravity: ubuntu took over the mbr [19:09] How do i see the source code of the linux system after i have enabled it in the ubuntu update settings ?

[19:12] no_gravity, its usually on /boot if you have it on a separate partition or / if its all one [19:13] no_gravity, /etc/initramfs-tools/modules contains all the modules needed to load during boot time [19:13] bobweaver: Or compare the dates to the date when the server started to fail [19:13] lekremyelsew: /boot is a vague thing. the encrypted debian uses sda7 as /boot. do you mean that /boot?

I removed everything java related and tried to reinstall just openjdk6 stuff through apt-get. now the java command is not found. I tried update-java-alternatives -a and just got a bunch of "error no alternatives found for X" messages. [19:14] ohh and a @ symbol [19:14] lekremyelsew, damo22: cant i just rerun the debian installer, make the same partitin settings as before and have it repair grub?

The website says it is supported. [19:16] damo22: you think it will insinst on formatting the partitions? [19:16] anyone know a program that will run a pdo file extension? I'm not having a lot of luck [19:16] bobweaver: Try that, just backup your data fist if you have any [19:16] no_gravity, sorry, I kind of jumped into this one, so you have debian and ubuntu on your hard drive? [19:16] no_gravity: unless you select repair grub or something [19:16] BlauskaerM: I have none I was just getting ready to upload csv files [19:16] i have a question that someone here might know something about, im using an nvidia gts 250 on the satanic distro of ubuntu and i cant get the settings to save, the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file will not merge or is not being read properly everytime i reboot, ne ideas? [19:16] I have tried it on two PE 1950's and prior to installing Ubuntu one of them had Windows which was connecting to the network fine, so I know the NIC works [19:17] banankampf-de I use `sudo mount -t vboxsf Geoff ~/Share` [19:17] lekremyelsew: i have these OSes on my machine: windows. ubuntu. debian unencrypted. debian encrypted.

[19:19] bobweaver: OMG! =D [19:19] i need it for kega fusion [19:19] no_gravity: volumegroup-logicalvolume [19:19] geoff: not sure how much java you know but there are JRE and JDK parts, make sure you have JRE for running java apps. [19:19] no_gravity, and when did things go wrong? [19:19] and for the rest of my sound, my crapotop doesnt have any sound [19:20] damo22, lekremyelsew: looks like this guy had a similar issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1779567 but im not sure he used an encrypted lvm with multiple partitions. [19:20] lekremyelsew: today, when ubuntu updated grub. [19:20] damo22: i dont know what that is. [19:20] no_gravity: its something like name-roto [19:20] name-root [19:20] arthas_: any messages? Or simple silent failure? [19:21] no_gravity, oh! so the lvm partition used to work no problem [19:21] lekremyelsew: yes. everything worked today in the morning. [19:21] Hii, I am looking for where gnome keeps information about which user profile image at where [19:21] no_gravity: you need to append lvm= to the kernel boot string [19:22] vlyalcin: That doesn't make sense, all user data is always stored in /home [19:22] vlyalcin: Gnome or not, doesn't matter. Or do you mean something else? [19:22] lekremyelsew, damo22: i think i will boot from the debian installer and see what it has to offer. [19:22] no_gravity, then reinstalling grub sounds like the best option [19:23] lekremyelsew: how? [19:23] what is modemmanager and how that got into my distro? [19:23] no_gravity, thats if ubuntu installed a new one in the MBR and didn't just change the one you already had [19:23] no_gravity: do you have a debian installer [19:23] damo22: yes. on an usb stick. [19:23] theadmin sorry, Ubuntu I mean. Ubunto 10.10 [19:23] aethelrick i was wondering if anyone had any trouble shooting points for getting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to work properly for an nvidia gts 250 card running with the satanic distro [19:23] theadmin for ex. user informations keeping in /etc/passwd [19:24] no_gravity: try booting that and select install bootloader === Sebastien- is now known as Sebastien [19:24] no_gravity: or repair [19:24] lekremyelsew: it obviously updated it somehow. there are a ton of strange entries in the grub menu. one partition shows up about 20 times. i dont know why. i would like to wipe grub completely and install it fresh. but i dont know how. [19:26] no_gravity: i think i know how to repair it if you can mount the lvm partition in ubuntu though [19:26] no_gravity, usually when you update kernels the last version's grub entry resides unit you remove it manually or run update-grub. Did you reinstall ubuntu from a CD today or just run an update? [19:26] hi guys, quick question. if you compile a binary from source but need to recompile to change some variables do you need to remove any files? [19:26] lekremyelsew: it just did its update thing in gnome. [19:27] Hi, im new to ubuntu server concering HDDs. After a 2nd try at installing I now got a /dev/mapper/serv1-root and /dev/mapper/serv1-swap1. They are on a 400gb hdd and I want to use the hdd as a normal hdd. Aka "mount /media/hdd3 /dev/sdc". [19:27] no_gravity, i might suggest running update-grub and seeing if that fixes anything but be warned because I dont't know exactly what happends when you do that [19:27] Soo how can I remove the /dev/mapper or reformat it [19:28] gparted hayer [19:28] damo22: looks like this guy solved a very similar situation: http://stephentanner.com/index.php/2011/05/restoring-grub-for-an-encrypted-lvm/ [19:28] or fdisk -l to list your disks for mount points [19:28] lekremyelsew: running update-grub will not remove kernels from the list, you have to uninstall them to do that. [19:28] lekremyelsew: i think i will try it from the debian installer [19:28] bubu; tried, didnt help me mutch [19:28] will give gparted a shot tough [19:28] hayer do you now have a/dev/sd or hd etc option? [19:29] no_gravity: since its a chroot solution, you can do it from ubuntu [19:29] damo22: yes, i think this guys solution probably works. [19:29] got sda, sdb, but no sdc - got 3 disks [19:29] hmm [19:29] it appears to be /dev/mapper/serv1-root [19:29] gparted for terminal?_? [19:29] zykotick9, wow you just made me realize I have a bunch of old kernels still installed on my system XD [19:30] and no /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb3 ? [19:30] yeh [19:30] may need to apt-get [19:30] lekremyelsew: FYI from terminal "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" lists them [19:30] anybody help with my q? [19:30] well, got sda and sda1, sdb sdb1 sdb2 sdb5, nothing more [19:30] hi all. my ubuntu crashes when i press alt-tab. i actually believe it is unity crashing, because somehow conflicts with the desktop cube. any hint on how to solve it? it only happens since the latest updates [19:31] I'm trying to steup Ubuntu 11.10 with a Broadcom NetXtreme II BMC5708 adapter does anyone know why both DHCP and manual configuration do not work for this adapter? [19:31] and whaat are the sizes of the 3 disks? do they match sdb1 sdb5 ? [19:31] two|face: lspci |grep BCM [19:31] nope, they are 750, 500, 450 [19:31] 400* === no_gravity is now known as zero_gravity [19:32] and that 400gig drive isnt the once your tralking about? [19:32] hayer: if you only see sda and sdb then ubuntu, is only aware of 2 disks. Verify in BIOS that the system sees 3 disks perhaps? good luck. [19:32] zykotick9, thanks i always thought that the package system automatically removed the old one when you update, but that would be dangerous because new images don't always work. The more you know haha [19:32] I have an old dell d620 with a broken battery (which is ok since it'll be used by my 6 year old daughter for fun). Now: I am experiencing that the pc suddenly goes out of unity and logs back in again. I am then reading the checking battery status or something in that order.

I leave Banshee play all night when I sleep and when the screen goes black my music stops. I'm not sure if all my sounds is turning off or just Banshee. Any idea how to fix this? It's a desktop with separate external speakers and a sub woofer. The LCD has not built in speakers. [19:35] two|face: ifconfig |grep 'eth' [19:35] bubu: how do I run gparted in the terminal? [19:35] no_gravity, good luck with the grub reinstall [19:35] hayer: to launch the GUI, type "gparted". If you want CLI then "parted" [19:36] I am on a server - kinda hard. [19:36] no GUI with SSH ;] [19:36] hayer: ssh can support X forwarding actually [19:36] hayer does your server support X at all?

[19:37] hayer: then put up with console and no gparted [19:37] well, still need a tool for the job. So any suggestions? [19:37] hayer: gparted is just a front-end to parted [19:37] hayer: fdisk / parted [19:38] damo22: sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/serv1-root or? [19:38] lekremyelsew: working on it. plan: mounting the encrypted lvm in ubuntu and then chrooting into the encrypted debian partition and then running grub-install /dev/sda. will see how it turns out... [19:38] hayer: i don't know, but i doubt fdisk support LVM? [19:39] Lint: do you mean like adding an extension? I don't find it as a default option to change nautilus background colour.. [19:39] ls [19:39] crap [19:39] kapz, it will allow you to replace ayatana theme [19:39] or adwaitha whatever [19:40] How do I install a specific version of wine? 1.3.36 [19:40] hayer: what are you trying to acheive [19:40] Well, if I do a lvremove /dev/mapper/serv1-root it says -> Can't remove open logical volume "root" [19:40] Phoebus: looks like you'd need a PPA or compile it [19:41] damo22: Look at this one http://paste.ubuntu.com/834345/ - u see that last disk /Homer-root and /Hoomer-swap_1. I want to reformat them to "normal" disks. [19:41] Lint: whole theme for a background? is there no other way? [19:41] hayer: that is trying to delete your root partition [19:41] no_gravity, sounds like a plan :) [19:41] And as one, not as two. (Cause it really is just one disk) [19:41] zykotick9, I added the PPA, but don't know how to get the exact version. === christoffer_ is now known as Christoffer [19:42] Phoebus: what's the output of "apt-cache policy wine" [19:42] hayer: i need more info, are you currently booted off the /dev/mapper/homer-root? [19:42] damo22: how to check? I am a n00b at this. [19:43] zykotick9, http://pastebin.com/vw9T0e1b [19:43] But I think I boot from the sdb disk [19:43] hayer: because you cant format the root partition that is currently mounted [19:43] ok, is there any way of adding a clock widget on desktop on ubuntu 11.10? I have looked at lots of place and found no option... [19:43] damo22: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:21:9b:8b:b3:e8 (you asked for ifconfig | grep 'eth') [19:43] damo22: Well, pretty sure I boot from the sdb disk. Anyway to check that?

[19:46] hayer: you are currently booted from homer-root [19:46] damo22: in Ubuntu on these NICs there is no data going in or out, if I load Windows or CentOS the NICs work fine [19:46] Phoebus: just try the "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" (i'm just assuming that is the correct PPA) [19:46] what happens if you sync a file with unison, when the owner does not exist on the receiving box? [19:46] but why didnt it lvm when I chose not to.. hm-m.. [19:46] well, thanks damo22 :- ) [19:46] hayer: sdb1 is your /boot partition [19:47] no_gravity, your welcome, and congrats! [19:47] damo22: where is my third disk then?.. [19:47] is there a command that displays the dpkg-reconfigure queue [19:47] hayer: you need to boot off a livecd to fix this [19:47] crap this, reinstall here i come [19:47] zykotick9, http://pastebin.com/gkQV9nGt [19:47] 'unchanged: 1' [19:48] hayer: but if you want to format a partition you are going to have to reinstall anyway [19:48] s/a partition/ the root partition [19:49] hayer: what are you trying to achieve [19:50] Phoebus: what ubuntu are you running? I only see natty and maverick in that PPA. [19:50] damo22: getting all of my disks up and running - and i've tested all for errors - none found, but a boot from the cd fixed it right away. [19:50] Phoebus: i'm done, good luck (wine doesn't interest me) [19:51] hayer: that means nothing [19:51] ah, here we are [19:51] http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/251 [19:52] /var/lib/dpkg/info contains the postrm, postinst, prerm scripts [19:52] neat :) [19:52] hayer: booting off the livecd will autodetect a lot of things but when you reboot you lose all that [19:52] damo22: ye, doing a clean install. I screw'd up some settings :< [19:53] hayer: i discourage lvm for simple setups [19:53] hayer, follow the perfect server setup from howtoforge, quite good explanations.

[19:54] two|face: is your network cable plugged in? [19:54] hi [19:55] damo22: yes it is I checked :) lights are on, had windows on the box earlier today, same cable, checked the other end to [19:55] when i do ssh username@host it does not work, only when i do ssh username@host.local [19:55] why is this? [19:56] damo22: not like the time I posted on stackoverflow asking why my drives weren't showing up and I forgot to put them into the hot swap bays ;) [19:56] Joshun: is host a name or IP (name i guess, and you've set a domain to .local) [19:56] zykotick9, alright well thanks for trying. [19:56] damo22, trond-: in the partiotion setup when i try to delete it, it says that it is in use by the LVM. Soo how can I delete it? (Doing a fresh install atm) [19:56] @zykotick9 - but other computers on the network do not have that problem [19:56] and they are all assigned by dhcp [19:57] i seen a site that shows you how to reset the password to login if u forget it..i never tried it..but if i have an encrypted hard drive will that recovery work? [19:57] i've tried static on this one but it still does the same thing [19:58] fellayaboy: the password for the encrypted drive is not the same as the password for login necessarily [19:58] hayer, I believe you have to delete the lvm group I think there is some choices that you can use. It's quite easy once you understand the concept of lvm (which is quite neat) [19:58] well if someone gets the password to the login than they can see the contents of the hard drive right [19:58] como eu faço o roteamento de 2 ips para o mesmo destino local host? 127.0.0.1 [19:58] if they login into ubuntu i mean [19:58] how do I make routing 2 ips to the same destination local host? 127.0.0.1 [19:59] trond-: help me, where can i delete the group? [19:59] fellayaboy: yes if the encrypted drive is set to automount [19:59] :o [20:00] when i was asked about generating a key at the beginning of my login i mistakely closed it..is it possible to go back and generate it [20:00] hello there I am trying to re-insall mysql-client and mysql-server. I keep getting the error :: ERROR: There's not enough space in /var/lib/mysql/ :: How do I clean up some space for that ? [20:00] if you compile a binary from source but need to recompile to change some variables do you need to remove any files or can you just make make install again? [20:01] hayer, can you restart the server and so you can start removing the lvm without doing much. I don't remember the setup part, but I believe there is a choice there were you can choose the lvm and delete each one [20:01] bubu: sometimes there is a make clean command [20:01] is there a tutorial on setting up ssh? I've installed ssh "sudo apt-get install openssh-server", and can ssh into it, but how do I add users and whatnot?

[20:04] Hi, anyone here who knows a good tool in ubuntu for updating video file metadata. Preferably automatically if possible, but else something with a straight forward ui. As it is now the files are not properly sohwn in xbmc, as it does not seem to parse the filename inorder to download the info. [20:04] bananenkampf-de: it means it is listening on that port for anyone [20:04] zykotick9: sorry I must have hit backspace to many times it is a M [20:05] bobweaver: so 175M is currently being used by your downloaded updates, you can clear this with "sudo apt-get clean" [20:05] damo22, okay,. what can i do for detect the program? i want to know what it is [20:05] hayer, I believe you can. The whole setup will clean up all - if you do it correctly. just do the installation slow.

Just put a question? [20:25] yea [20:25] meerkats: OK!! so sudo lspci -nnvv and look down the bottom for kernel modules loaded [20:26] meerkats: the bottom of the audio device part [20:26] mypanda: yup just ask [20:27] I try to deactivate Screen-Locking and User-switching in Ubuntu 10.04LTS But it doesnt work. I used gconf-edit and checked in desktop-lockdown-disableuserswitching. After the reboot the shutdown menu shows me the unwanted options [20:27] damo22, Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel [20:27] for 00:0f.0 Audio device: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller [20:27] I'm looking for a program which can do basic plotting like gnuplot, but that also allows for more interactive exploration of the data, e.g. a dropdown of possible columns for each axis. Basically a more interactive, friendlier version of gnuplot. Is there anything like this out there? It should be as lightweight as possible (that rules oocalc out) [20:28] meerkats: alsamixer [20:28] damo22, alsamixer from theterminal? [20:29] meerkats: can you tell me the device:vendor string xxxx:xxxx also from that output [20:29] it says I dont have it, guess ill have to install [20:29] Hi all.. So I'm installing Ubuntu on my friend's old laptop for him to play with, and everything works fine.. of course.. except, of course, the wlan. The chip is a Broadcom BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN accoding to lshw, and ubuntu installs the b43 driver.. but nothing happens. The wireless is dead. It doesn't even appear in the network indicator when b43 is installed.. The card's product name is BCM94311MCG, and all forum posts I can find are from 2008 and rec [20:29] ommends using ndiswrapper.. :o [20:29] meerkats: sudo apt-get install alsa-base [20:29] hello [20:29] Hi there all. I'm having problems with Firefox 10 crashing within the use of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Could some someone or a few persons be kind to help out as to advise me what to do ? [20:30] Is there a quick and easy way to update the nvidia drivers in Ubuntu. Right now I'm not using them but when using them the screen starts flickering and messing up after about 15-20 minutes. [20:30] damo22, read the pm [20:30] vindav: is this a recent thing? [20:31] meerkats: lsmod |grep snd [20:31] cmyrland: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [20:31] vindav: what's your hardware? [20:31] Kronsby: This is a very recent thing. For the last two to three days, I've had Firefox 11 do this, and now Firefox 10 is doing this all day, and it is annoying when opening Firefox 10 (FF10) and trying to read something when it goes down without warning. [20:31] damo22, nothing for lsmod |grep snd [20:32] meerkats: well isnt that funny [20:32] jhk: did you use additional drivers? [20:32] cfhowlett, I'm currently running precise, so I guess that driver is already present in ubuntu repos? [20:33] vindav: does it happen right away or a few minutes after? [20:33] alsamixer works now (alsamixergui) [20:33] damo22, alsamixer works now (alsamixergui) [20:33] cmyrland: probably not. just download from broadcom [20:33] Kronsby. It shows that the restirctive nvidia drivers are in use. I removed those and it seems to be working fine now. [20:33] meerkats: what about sound output [20:33] if I turn down the left bar, the dummy package sound bar also goes down [20:33] I just downloaded the amd64 drivers for my video card from nvidia.com. [20:33] hi, anyone know if there's a LAN messaging client I can use under both windows and Linux? [20:34] make sure the pcm isnt muted [20:34] cfhowlett: hi there again...back here with similar problems like last night. I have a 3.2GHz quad core Dell XPS8100 desktop with a 500GB HDD, 4GB of SDRAM. [20:34] jhk: why do you not use the restrictive drivers? [20:34] I was. That was when I was getting the error. [20:34] vindav: 64 or 32 bit ubuntu? [20:35] Kronsby: Firefox 19 (FF10) crashed right away, sometime it stays up for a while and crashes at will; sometime when I try to open a link or tab, it crashes. [20:35] do you mean pulseaudio volume control-output devices? [20:35] damo22, ? [20:35] cfhowlett: I have 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on it. [20:35] meerkats: check alsamixer that there are green lights at the bottom not MM [20:36] meerkats: especially for master, pcm, and other things [20:36] My fan is running like made is there anything I can do? [20:36] vindav: it seems that ffox is NOT 64 bit optimized if I'm reading things correctly. See this: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/246758/use_a_64bit_pc_instead_of_firefox_try_waterfox_90.html [20:38] melkor, running full speed is safe, try to install LMsensors [20:38] !lmsensors [20:38] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [20:38] cfhowlett: Does this Waterfox (WF) have the ability to include all of Mozilla's add-ons and extension for use with it ? [20:38] vindav: I don't use so I don't know. [20:38] vindav: or you could try chromium... [20:39] hello, how do i get less to display the same unicode characters my console displays? [20:40] graft: it seems like it should automatically. What do you use to see the characters in your console? [20:40] cfhowlett: Chromium works great, except it doesn't have the luxurious plug-ins and add-ons like FF10 including Xmarks which are my bookmarks that come from a cloud I have to synchronize all my computers. [20:40] melkor: cat, or grep, or something [20:40] damo22, thats all my alsamixergui shows: http://imagebin.org/197959 [20:40] melkor: if i grep a line from some output, it displays fine [20:40] vindav: drop back to FF9. FF10 just came out - maybe not ready for prime time [20:41] melkor: in less it shows up as or some such [20:41] damo22, I also found a GNOME alsa mixer that lists absolutely nothing, just a blank square [20:41] i mean installed [20:41] meerkats: thats useless [20:41] cfhowlett: I am willing to downgrade to FF9; how do I do that ? [20:41] graft: so if less something | grep it works? [20:41] melkor: yeah [20:42] meerkats: do you have 'alsamixer' [20:42] not the gui version [20:42] meerkats: just type it into console [20:42] How do I close the x server and then start it again for installing nvidia drivers? [20:42] What are the best options for scheduling rake on Ubuntu? [20:42] I remember I have to do that. [20:42] *rake tasks [20:42] !cron | macmartine [20:42] macmartine: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [20:42] jhk: sudo service lightdm stop [20:42] jhk: And start. [20:42] cfhowlett: Waterfox is an executable [20:43] Thanks theadmin [20:43] jhk: That's with Oneiric, if you're using pre-Oneiric use "gdm" rather than "lightdm" [20:43] vindav: searching [20:43] h00k: yeah, figured, thanks [20:43] damo22, alsamixer [20:43] cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [20:43] i dont see any "alsamixer" in synaptic [20:43] Roger that. I'm not sure what I'm using theadmin [20:43] just the gui and the gnome ones [20:43] jhk: Meh :P This will work on any release: sudo /etc/init.d/*dm stop [20:44] YES, that was what I was looking for. You the man. Thanks! [20:44] Slightly off-topic but: I installed ISPConfig on Ubuntu. It was configured for one Nginx install but I had to move to a different Nginx install. Now how can I make ISPConfig aware of this new location and forget about the other one? [20:44] hi! A friend of mine has a problem with webcam. There is an antry about it in lsusb, and there is a /dev/vide0, but image is gray when we try to capture with cheese or mplayer. [20:44] jhk: The woman :P [20:44] graft: http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/faq.html#intl [20:44] jhk: But no problem [20:44] Atlantic777: sudo modprobe uvcvideo === thibaut is now known as keizhor [20:45] Atlantic777: you probably need a firmware for that [20:45] quit [20:45] damo22: dunno, we will see. :) [20:45] hi all :) [20:45] I assume to start it I would run... sudo /etc/init.d/*dm start ( theadmin )? [20:45] jhk: Yep [20:45] <|DM|> GOD DAMMIT STOP PINGING ME [20:45] icant install any software from software center but i can install via konsol apt-get. plz help, === Pratik is now known as Pratik_away [20:46] !language | |DM| [20:46] |DM|: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [20:47] Alright. Here goes nothing. Wish me look guys :) [20:47] cfhowlett: ok, waiting patiently :D [20:47] melkor: well, my LANG is already utf-8, since my console can understand it... and some characters display fine in less, others don't [20:47] <|DM|> ~fine~ [20:47] graft: are one of those two env set? [20:48] melkor: yeah, my LANG is en_US.UTF-8 [20:48] melkor: as i said, less is already displaying unicode, just not all of it [20:48] graft: what about lesscharset or lesschardef? [20:48] vindav: search your software center for browers. install any/all of them and choose a flavor. IDK why ffox is acting up on your box, but I'd suspect 32/643 bit issues. [20:48] melkor: doesn't help [20:48] graft: have they been set before. [20:49] how do I recursively search for files larger than 200mb? [20:49] how do I recursively search for files larger than 200mb? [20:49] damo22: it's still gray. === Octane is now known as Guest70178 [20:50] btw, here's the lsusb from that machine with webcam and gray image http://paste.lugons.org/show/EbViTJPOUfGC3wuP6U27/ [20:50] anyone please? [20:51] vacho_: you'll probably have to write a bash script. [20:51] vacho_: find / -size +200M [20:51] fr [20:51] vacho_: Err, make that m lowercase [20:51] melkor: they are set now, and don't help [20:51] Atlantic777: sudo rmmod uvcvideo && sudo modprobe gspca-zc3xx [20:51] vacho_: That expects to be ran with sudo too... Here, like that: sudo find / -size +200m [20:51] cfhowlett: I have the availablilty of Chromium and Konqueror at my disposal. I'm going to try to downgrade to FF9. If you know how to do this, please advise. :D [20:52] vindav: for the last time, it's firefox 10 in buntu 10.04 [20:52] vindav: it's not firefox 9 - it's 10 [20:52] graft: It sounds odd I wonder if it is a bug. [20:52] theadmin: just in current directly. [20:52] i need to set up a reverse ssh tunnel to be able to log back on a server that's behind fw.. how can i do this? [20:53] vacho_: Ok then: find $PWD -size +200m [20:53] vindav: strangely enough, DOWNGRADING ffox doesn't appear in the top 100 google results. [20:53] vacho_: Or even: find . -size +200m [20:53] ikonia: FF10 is crashing consistently as FF11 was in the past three day consecutively. I figure it's time to downgrade. What can you offer that I could try out ? [20:53] thx [20:53] damo22: the image is still gray [20:53] vindav: to be honest - I'd think hard about what you are doing [20:54] zamba: ssh -f -L lport:host:rport user@server -N [20:54] vindav: you added a PPA to the base install - that's not a wise move unless you are sure of the stability [20:54] vindav: secondly firefox 10 and 11 is crashing......does that not suggest there is an underlying problem [20:54] damo22, do I have to apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss ? [20:54] vindav: fff11???!!! [20:54] cfhowlett: he enabled a testing PPA [20:54] from http://alsa.opensrc.org/Quick_Install [20:54] ikonia: ahhhhhh. [20:55] meerkats: no just probably remove pulseaudio [20:55] Dude. Mozilla should slow down on releases, I bet we'll have Firefox 9001 in a couple years [20:55] hence why he's having the issues he is now [20:55] ikonia: I'll give you a screenshot of my software sources very soon. [20:55] [20:55] meerkats: and use alsa [20:55] vindav: I don't need to [20:55] vindav: I understand what happened, I read the details earlier [20:55] theadmin: and it would still freeze ever so often [20:55] metasansana: Yep xD [20:56] metasansana: I'm a Chrome/Chromium user so I don't care most of the time [20:56] theadmin: Im thinking about the switch, I used to love Firefox a whole lot === Gskellig is now known as Gskellig|away [20:56] metasansana: Mind pm'ing me?

[20:57] ehsan__: define can 't boot [20:58] ikonia: http://imagebin.org/197964 [20:58] vindav: I said I didn't need to see it [20:58] cfhowlett: http://imagebin.org/197964 [20:58] ikonia what is your mean [20:58] ikonia: sorry [20:58] vindav: it would be worth while if you listen to what is being said to you [20:58] damo22, i will remove gnome if I get rid of pulseaudio... [20:58] ikonia: I am trying to even understand as well. [20:58] ehsan__, check the HDD section, i have to select my usb drive there too [20:59] damo22: i have to do -R instead of -L [20:59] meerkats: install pasuspender? [20:59] vindav: your system is filled with external repos and PPA's - that will be the cause of your instability [20:59] zamba: :) [20:59] ikonia: +! [20:59] T_H_X: hm? [20:59] ikonia: ok, how do we alleviate that together ? I'll follow your step-by-step instructions. [21:00] oer what shud do now, plz help [21:00] vindav: to be honest, in my opinion you need to re-install to get a safe/clean ubuntu setup, then not install PPA's and 3rd party repos [21:00] ehsan__, check your bios again, you set boot to usb, now check hdd priority. [21:01] hello - i need some help to kill some unresponsive program [21:02] ikonia: Of all the Ubuntu O/S that are out there for 64 bit, what would you install, and how would you do that when you have a dual boot system (Windows 7 / Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) on it ? And Also, how does one not install PPA's and 3rd party repos ? [21:02] gaby: usually if you jsut click close the system will ask you if you want to terminate it [21:02] vindav: you should use what versions you want, and you don't install 3rd party and PPA repos by not adding them as you have done on this occasions [21:02] oer i check it more than 5, my first boot is usb [21:02] graft - it doesnt give me this [21:03] gaby: otherwise you can open a terminal and do pkill -9 -f [21:03] ehsan__, oke, next try, during startup of your pc, can you choose bootoptions with F8 or so ? use that too [21:03] ikonia: how can we find out what Firefox versions in Ubuntu are meant for 64 bit machines ? [21:03] give me the exact command for skype please [21:03] vindav: it's the same as 32bit [21:03] Does anybody use Aria2c? when i am saving a file i want to save it as a filename i provide, how could i do this? [21:04] vindav: when you install ubuntu it has firefox already installed - use it [21:04] gaby: pkill -9 -f skype, would probably work [21:04] vindav: I've got Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit with the default firefox installed, I've never had any issues with it crashing [21:05] oer i have laptop and i press F2 for set it [21:05] graft: thanks [21:05] gaby: otherwise you can use ps -ef to figure out what the process is called. i also recommend the program htop, which lets you see what's taking up CPU and memory and kill it interactively [21:05] Djones: do you also have lots of add-ons and plug-ins like : Xmarks ? [21:05] ehsan__, what is the message you get, when you try to boot ? [21:05] vindav: No, I don't use them [21:05] vindav: the plugins where not the issue for you - the issue was the 3rd party repos and PPA repos [21:06] ikonia: Ok, how can I prevent PPA and 3rd party repos from coming in or being selected for use ? [21:06] vindav: you selected them last time - just don't select them [21:07] vindav: PPA [21:07] vindav: PPA's have to be added by the user, if you don't add them, they can't be used [21:07] oer no message it boot from main hard disk(windows that installed) and boot windows 7 [21:07] vindav: the PPA you intalled (repeatedly) is for the cinelerra video editing package. [21:07] I won't select PPAs anymore then. Can I still load software like Cinelerra ? [21:08] ehsan__, what is your computer model? [21:08] cfhowlett: there are many PPA enabled in his setup, not one [21:08] vindav: cinelerra isn't in the repos, and requires a ppa. If I may ask, do you intend to do high end video editing?

[21:30] i have no idea [21:30] OK [21:30] thanks anyway :) [21:31] dicannamas, The ATI drivers aren't in the default repositories for your version? [21:31] did it do it more than once?

[21:32] ubiquity is stuck on "removing conflicting operating system files" [21:32] dicannamas, This little tutorial seems to show you how to install the ATI Catalyst driver without having to grab the driver manually. [21:32] aBound, i am having graphic issues...computer crashing [21:32] i need to write a script that opens two terminal windows as different users and have them run a command each can someone point me tward a tutorial or something? [21:32] Hi chaps. Is is possible for Ubuntu server to accidentally (or by design) assign two users to one UID? I have looked at my /etc/passwd account and found two people with id 10000. So when I try and chown from my name to his (I have root access) it springs back to my (non-root) name. Does this make sense? [21:32] How do I change mouse scroll wheel speed ? [21:33] ehsan2, try it a couple of times make sure the usb is showing in the Wy OS then reboot to the f12 prompt. As well how did you load ubuntu to the usb? [21:33] Hi [21:33] W7* === Wat12 is now known as Delta21 [21:33] dicannamas, Are you able to login with a GUI or you can't login at all? [21:34] I have a quick question. Does Firefox store its stuff in the home directory? I ask, because I have a laptop and I'm wondering if home directory encryption will protect my bookmarks/passwords. [21:34] aBound, i do but the system crash for no reason...aparently [21:34] <^sunonthecross^> is #ubuntu on freenode? [21:34] yep [21:35] <^sunonthecross^> so why is listed as Ubuntu Servers in my network list? [21:35] Delta21, crtl-h will show .mozilla yes if your storing all that in FF it is protected. [21:35] ^sunonthecross^: thats like walking up to your local fruit shop and asking is this on the main street? [21:35] Thanks. :) [21:36] is it possible to install software RAID after Ubuntu is already installed and running? [21:36] <^sunonthecross^> is it? when I go to network list Ubuntu Servers looks like any other network so when I connected I was on freenode which is listed separately... confusing [21:36] MoleMan: sure, but not to make it boot off the raid [21:36] So is it intended that the ubuntu installer never finishes?? === recon69_lap is now known as recon_lap [21:36] Manehattan, what do yo think? [21:37] urlin2u: I'm ready to believe anything by now [21:37] damo22: hmmm :( had Ubuntu Server running for ages, don't want to have to reinstall, and don't want to have to buy a bigger HDD atm. [21:37] MoleMan: you can easily add software raid as a new mountpoint [21:38] dicannamas, It could be a bad install of the driver itself if it has already been installed. I would say to check the logs but I'm not sure which log you'd have to check. [21:38] Manehattan, it can take a little while if yiou choose downloads in the install about 20 generally at my 330 kb download cap [21:38] 20 min [21:38] i need to write a script that opens two terminal windows as different users and have them run a command each can someone point me tward a tutorial or something? [21:38] urlin2u: It rather tells me "removing conflicting files" and does that for 30 minutes now, I'm not quite convinced it does what it claims to do [21:39] MoleMan: ie, add new disks and configure them as a raid array mounted on say /opt [21:39] damo22: the point is I was hoping I could just stick another drive in, set it up and it would keep growing onto the new drive without me needing to move stuff to the other drive... [21:39] Manehattan, this a usb or disc? [21:39] urlin2u: usb [21:39] MoleMan: no you would need to backup everything and put it back, technically this is possible without reinstalling [21:40] damo22: if I added it as a new mount point, if I wanted to keep a folder together, wouldn't I have to move the entire folder to the new mount-point? [21:40] !vm [21:40] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [21:40] Manehattan, I would check the md5sum of the iso, also how did you get the ubuntu image on the usb? [21:40] aBound, thanks i will check if is anything else around i can do [21:40] MoleMan: yes [21:40] So I have this old computer, I want to use it as a server for some virtual drives for the Windows computers on my network. Is tooling around with Samba the only option? [21:40] !vmware irc [21:40] urlin2u: I used unetbootin, it checks the md5 [21:41] MoleMan: where do you want the drive to grow from [21:41] dicannamas, I gotcha no problem probably best to ask somebody in here more experienced than me. :P [21:41] MoleMan: /home? [21:41] !vmware [21:41] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [21:41] Manehattan, never heard of unetbootin checking the sum was this a net download with unenbootin? [21:41] damo22: so it would be possible to backup my system, reinstall to use RAID as boot, then restore original programs and config? [21:41] aBound, okies [21:41] rebe: install gpointing-device-settings you can set them in there [21:41] MoleMan: yes i have done this [21:41] urlin2u: Yes it is, Daily Live 12.04 [21:42] i'll reboot and try again [21:42] I just found out that it's ms mouse bugg [21:42] MoleMan: it is quite tricky to get raid as boot drive [21:42] wow [21:42] MoleMan: but its possible certainly [21:42] Manehattan, your on the wrong channel #ubuntu+1 is where this is addressed [21:42] damo22: its my torrents on Ubuntu Server, so basically everything taking up space is in #forgets folder transmission saves to# [21:43] urlin2u: Oh, sorry, I dod [21:43] rebe: ah, unplug and plug in eh? [21:43] urlin2u: *didn't know [21:43] Manehattan, no biggie. :) [21:43] T_H_X: yea [21:43] MoleMan: why not move this folder to root of raid and mount it on /opt [21:43] is postfix with postgresal support easier to set up on centos or ubuntu? is ubuntu generally easier to work with? [21:43] its a flavor thing [21:44] depends on what you like more [21:44] damo22: I don't understand what you mean by that, dummies terms please? [21:44] ciao [21:44] Is there any way of automatically making my webpage refresh in LYNX browser? [21:44] !list [21:44] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [21:45] MoleMan: add a raid array, mounted on /opt, then move all the bt files to /opt and tell transmission to download there [21:45] I have a question. My friend is running a piece of software under mono. He says that when he runs it under the root user, it uses less ram. Is that possible? [21:46] MoleMan: this solution is much easier than making your root partition raid [21:46] damo22: If you're suggesting setting up a new RAID array and moving everything to that, the PC only has space for 2 HDDs, it already has 1 in, and I wanted to add another in RAID 0 to just grow the existing drive, not create a new separate array [21:47] damo22: or is it possible to move everything to the new drive, shrink the root partition, and then use RAID to join the new drive to the space I've just created on the first? [21:47] MoleMan: you cant stripe the data from an existing partition and create a raid on the same drive without clobbering all the data [21:47] anyone got 12.04 working on virtualbox? [21:48] !VirtualBox [21:48] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [21:48] brodock, you will not find support here for 12.04 since it has not been officially released [21:48] hello what would be a good gui app for testing all the files in a sha1 ? [21:48] brodock, #ubuntu+1 is your channel. [21:48] thanks [21:48] i need to write a script that opens two terminal windows as different users and have them run a command each can someone point me tward a tutorial or something? [21:49] MoleMan: its much more efficient to create a raid where you have 2 identical disks and they both take up the full amount [21:49] MoleMan: otherwise theyre not really a raid [21:49] damo22: if it makes any difference, I'm not that bothered about performance, using JBOD would be fine for me as well (whether that counts as RAID or not, and however that would work) [21:51] MoleMan: since you are not really interested in hotswapping out drives, its probably easier not to do raid at alll [21:51] MoleMan: just add the second disk as new space [21:52] damo22: I was only looking at RAID 0 as that was the only way I knew of, of making 2 physical HDDs work as one... [21:52] SHOVELL: just google for bash tutorial, and also look for gnome-terminal -x [21:52] MoleMan: you can mount the second hard drive onto a directory [21:52] so / contains 1 drive and /opt contains the second drive [21:53] for example [21:53] MoleMan: but you cant mount 2 disks onto the same mountpoint [21:53] is ubuntu easier to deal with than centos? [21:53] unless you raid them [21:54] you can also use LVM for that [21:54] personally i hate lvm [21:55] damo22: If I understand correctly, my issue with that is the vast majority of my files are in 1 main folder, the download directory from Transmission, so its not like I can split everything else to one place and mount the other disk to the download folder, because I want the space of both to be accessible in 1 folder. [21:55] MoleMan: this is not possibl [21:55] unless you use clunky lvm [21:56] damo22: but is that not what RAID 0 would achieve? [21:56] not sure whats wrong with using LVM, [21:56] raid is very complicated [21:57] hi, how can I change the system fonts? It used to be in appearance settings, but it was removed from there [21:57] if you lose data you cant recover easily unless you have backups and / or spare disks in the array [21:58] If you understand what I want to achieve, would I be best to backup everthing to an external drive, reinstall UbuntuServer, setting up raid on the two disks and restore everything onto the system with RAID, or would I be better using LVM or something? [21:58] MoleMan: are the two disks identical? [21:58] I understand the risks and lack of data redundancy in RAID 0. [21:59] I believe so, both 160GB drives (opens PC to check [21:59] MoleMan: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/237434/raid-verses-lvm, has a decent answer. id stick with lvm tbh [21:59] MoleMan: you have to tweak your kernel commandline to make it boot off raid [22:00] damo22, I got rid of all alsa entries found in synaptic and im now proceeding to install 1.0.25 from source [22:00] oh, no, one is a 160 GB WD, the other is 160GB seagate [22:00] MoleMan: thats ok [22:00] MoleMan: the size is the important part === jrbaldwin_ is now known as jrbaldwin [22:01] Does somebody knows a good tron like openbox theme ? [22:02] MoleMan: the thing with LVM is you cant run fdisk on the partition table and play with it [22:02] MoleMan: you have to use some other tool [22:02] trying to do the upgrade manager version of moving from 10.10 to 11.04...... i am getting this error: Could not download the release notes Check your internet connection.... what would be causing this error ? [22:03] dos partition table + mbr ftw [22:03] damo22: if you learned lvm i think you'd change your tune [22:03] cryptodira: err, network not working? mirror down?

[22:04] cryptodira: can you run apt-get update? [22:05] imbezol: i like to know where my data is stored physically so i can recover it when i need to [22:05] damo22: i like to have my data in more than one spot [22:05] not have some abstraction that takes away my control [22:05] damo22: i don't want to need to recover it [22:05] cryptodira: I got the same when I booted my ubuntu desktop installation for the first time in ages earlier, I just ignored it though as I never use it anyway [22:05] T_H_X, i am sorry but i have looked and searched for the things you have mentioned and as far as i could see in the first 4 google pages(i did read the ones that were remotely close) there was nothing to indicate how to run two terminal windows and pass commands to each [22:06] damo22: anyways.. once you learn it you know exactly where the data is [22:06] does LVM leave data in a more recoverable state than RAID then? [22:06] imbezol, me two full clone and backups of them and home. [22:06] MoleMan: i would think so [22:06] acicula, yes.... that verified all of the 10.10 files....then quit. [22:06] s/to/clones [22:06] * MoleMan starting to wish I just has the £90 to buy another 1TB HDD [22:07] cryptodira: weird, does that prevent the upgrade process from continuing? [22:08] Thanks, could not get yum to do anything [22:08] \query FDFlock [22:08] acicula, yes.... the process fails.... in the meantime, i think i will d/l the 11.04 iso and burn it and try the upgrade that way.... unless you have a solution for the automatic method? [22:09] cryptodira: could try running upgrade-manager -d in a console [22:10] flash bios eeepc 1015ped [22:10] MoleMan: if you have data on an lvm volume spread across two disks and one dies then it will break the volume yeah, but you might be able to fix what remains of the volume on the second disk [22:10] MoleMan: lvm lets you do thinks like make a volume span multiple drives, or mirror drives here and there, or grow and shrink stuff as needed, or encrypt, or a billion other things [22:10] Qazjap11: hi baby [22:10] evening guys, got me a problem with the software-center it loads but all i get is a white screen, ive uninstalled it reinstalled it, updated it... still same any suggestions? [22:10] acicula, the particulars of that command escape me.... [22:10] So I have to list the packages I want? [22:10] cryptodira: its just the textbased distribution upgrade tool [22:10] freshnick, ? [22:10] MoleMan and acicula: yes.. if a volume spanning multiple drives (without raid protection) suffers a disk failure, you will lose only what's on that disk. [22:11] Qazjap11: hello sweetheart [22:11] MoleMan: you can use lvm and raid together to get good protection and flexibility [22:11] acicula, i will look for it.... thanks [22:11] WARNING!!!

[22:13] ok thanks ill try that [22:13] MoleMan: the awesome thing about software raid is you can take a drive from any system and put it in any system and it will work [22:13] darrenfoster1976: I saw this same thing on the forums a few days ago I think. Have you given the box a reboot recently? Try turning on-off the compiz effects if the reboot doesnt help [22:13] How do find updates for yum [22:13] MoleMan: if you use hardware raid, and say for example your raid controller dies... you're screwed unless you find another raid controller like the one that died [22:14] its on my laptop bodsda [22:14] imbezol: If life was easy, I could just have a proper server, with several 1TB drives in raid with massive redundancy, instead I'm trying to span a volume across two 160GB drives in my old PC :) [22:14] my yum update does not work in root [22:14] sun_devil, that is fedora not supported. :) [22:14] MoleMan: plus the raid tools under linux and far more powerful than what you get with a hardware raid controller [22:14] yeah dont use hardware raid on consumer motherboards [22:14] bad sign if rebooting is now a fix :-( [22:14] MoleMan: try lvm then.. i think you'll be happy with it [22:14] debian [22:14] MoleMan: if you lose a drive, you'll lose one drive worth of data, same as you would with them unspanned [22:14] sun_devil, try #fedora [22:14] imbezol: hardware raid wipes the floor with fakeraid [22:15] OK, so will LVM install and work easily on top of my existing installation without too much hassle then?

[22:16] Bodsda: portability across any kind of hardware [22:17] Bodsda: which is why on server boards the raid bit is replaceable [22:17] MoleMan: basic instruction.. if both drives were empty.. run pvcreate on both, vgcreate a volume group, vgextend to add teh pv's to the vg, lvcreate to create your volume, mkfs to create a filesystem, then mount [22:17] command for ubuntu 10.04 updates [22:17] acicula how would i tell? === freshnick is now known as system32 [22:17] MoleMan: but there are lots of good guides out there. search for lvm2 [22:17] darrenfoster1976: type sudo apt-get update in a console, and enter your password [22:17] (when it asks for it) [22:17] ok thank you [22:17] sun_devil, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [22:17] onlygentoo, f6 anywhere will open alsamixer? I write alsamixer in a terminal and it says its not installed, it doest appear in synaptic either [22:17] acicula: what do you mean by portability? you can move the physical disks to another system? Only if it has a similar fakeraid implementation supporting the raid level [22:17] ok [22:18] Bodsda: no, hardware raid is tied to a particular raid implementation [22:18] you can not take a set of disks and transplant them to another raid controller and expect it to work [22:18] the controller has to be the same or similar [22:18] Bodsda: unlimited drives, not being tied to a controller model if it dies, way more features than you'd ever find on a hardware controller, ability to raid things like a google mail account or a cloud storage account, etc etc.. you can do anything with software raid [22:18] can anyone help me ? [22:18] imbezol: is it possible to set up presuming the system is already running from one of the drives that will be used, or will it be a backup, setup new system, restore. job? [22:19] Bodsda: hardware raid is straight forward.. if you have 4 ports.. you can raid 4 harddrives together in raid levels supported by the card and that's it [22:19] i just got BSOD can anyone help me ? [22:19] acicula: imbezol - ah, I see where your going. Fair enough [22:19] system32: install linux? [22:19] system32, bsod on ubuntu? [22:19] on top of that the hardware raid on consumer motherboards is nothing compared to a proper raid, and so no faster then fakeraid [22:19] Hello, Can anyone recomend me a MP3 to FLAC converter? [22:19] urlin2u: i mean kernel panic [22:19] BSOD = windows, this channel = #ubuntu, probably not going to get much help here... [22:20] moonunitzappa: ffmpeg should meet your needs [22:20] system32, what release? [22:20] MoleMan: is there space on the drive left or are you using that space as part of the span? [22:20] ty [22:20] urlin2u: kernel 2.6 [22:20] system32: I'd test your RAM using memtest in Grub as a first port of call [22:21] system32, it happens on occasion rarely though have yhou rebooted? [22:21] you* [22:21] to what directory do I have to cd to use alsamixer? [22:22] is there a irc chan for scripting [22:22] meerkats: its in $PATH so just run it [22:22] meerkats: you dont, it will run from anywhere [22:22] imbezol: the current partition on the drive fills the drive, but it does have about 10GB of free space if I needed to shrink, create the span and then move everything to the new drive, and repeat? [22:22] meerkats: its like asking the same question but for apt-get instead of alsamixer [22:22] Anyone had problem with pure-ftpd-mysql? Im sure I have the correct username & password, still error 530 [22:22] acicula i tried the apt-get update and it did update but still same with software centre [22:23] urlin2u: when i start firefox it alert me a msg with "owned by teamforce" and then i get kernel panic [22:23] MoleMan: it's probably possible to do it all online but.. simplest would be to create the new vg with the empty drive.. get booting off it instead, wipe your current drive and add it to the vg after [22:23] system32: go and troll somewhere else [22:23] im not trolling [22:23] darrenfoster1976: i dont know then what is causing it [22:23] ActionParsnip, then [22:23] alsamixer [22:23] cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [22:23] root@dexter-M7X0SUN:~# [22:23] Bodsda, how do i open ffmpeg after i install it? [22:24] o crap, whats the opposite of sudo -i? [22:24] no worries thanks for your help anyway [22:24] urlin2u: any ideas? [22:24] meerkats: exit? [22:24] meerkats: why are you runing it as root? [22:24] meerkats: run it as your user [22:24] system32, not really. [22:24] moonunitzappa: its a command line utility. Probably best to google something like 'ffmpeg flac to mp3' to see if someone has posted the exact command somehwere [22:24] ActionParsnip, to see if it made any difference [22:24] meerkats, su (your user name) [22:24] k ty [22:24] imbezol: I don't understand. [22:24] SHOVELL: doesnt work [22:25] where do I get alsamixer from? Its not in synaptic === albrigha is now known as Guest87944 [22:25] acicula, huh? [22:25] imbezol: create a new volume group containing only the new drive, install on that, then wipe the old drive and add to the volume group? [22:25] moonunitzappa: http://ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/convert_flac_to_mp3 [22:25] meerkats: what happens if you type '/usr/bin/alsamixer' ? [22:25] SHOVELL: you cant use su to get root on ubuntu systems, not unless you change the default [22:25] meerkats, alsamixer in the terminal [22:25] moonunitzappa: http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/12/11/how-to-convert-flac-files-to-mp3-using-ubuntu-linux/ [22:26] acicula, he was trying to leave root [22:26] SHOVELL: yes, and s/he used: sudo -i to get the session, so: exit will end it [22:26] Bodsda, same: dexter@dexter-M7X0SUN:~$ /usr/bin/alsamixer [22:26] cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [22:26] MoleMan: personally what i would do is create a 100 meg partition on the new drive, then another partition that was the rest of the disk. [22:26] or did I have to cd first? [22:26] urlin2u: maybe someone sent me a virus [22:26] meerkats: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [22:26] MoleMan: then i'd make that 100 meg partition contain /boot [22:26] MoleMan: then i'd make a volume group out of the second larger partition === phenom_ is now known as phenom [22:27] ty ActionParsnip [22:27] MoleMan: then i'd create two volumes inside the lvm.. one for swap, one for / [22:27] ActionParsnip, i have done the same thing and the solution i gave worked for me i am sorry === Guest87944 is now known as kalosaurusrex [22:27] system32, no idea really no known virus's for linux on the web. [22:27] MoleMan: then i'd boot off a rescue disk (i'd actually do this online but for simplicity...), copy everything from your existing / to the new lvm drive / [22:27] Hey all. Does anyone know where gnome-do pulls its list of executable files? [22:27] ActionParsnip, HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK [22:27] imbezol: so I'm moving my system to boot from the new volume? how would I do that? [22:27] MoleMan: at this point you'd have to fix fstab and such on the new drive === kalosaurusrex is now known as Guest58239 [22:28] system32, not really an area I am confident in really. [22:28] MoleMan: then boot off the new drive.. then partition the old drive the same as the new drive, mirror /boot with raid 1, and create swap and / space on the old drive in the larger lvm partition [22:28] imbezol: I think I'm starting to get a bit too deep for myself and will need to find detailed instructions/someone to walk me through it as I do it :/ [22:28] MoleMan: but this is all going to take some understanding and i don't know if that's a good project for a first time lvm user :) [22:29] MoleMan: exactly.. [22:29] meerkats: select to upload to the server, a red URL will be gemnerated. What is the URL [22:29] should i use srv/www or var/www? what do you guys use? [22:29] MoleMan: probably best to save that kind of stuff for when you're comfortable [22:29] imbezol: /goes back to my comment from earlier about why can't I just have the money to buy a new 1TB drive :P/ [22:29] jmpdev: for what? [22:29] jmpdev: the standard is /var/www for a default apache install [22:30] ActionParsnip: just web directories [22:30] ActionParsnip: and logs, first time using ubuntu for my web server [22:31] jmpdev: logs should get automatically stored in /var/log [22:31] jmpdev: I believe it's /var/www [22:31] ActionParsnip, i haven t been prompted to choose anything yet, I can only see 2 ip's though: one of them is Resolving git.alsa-project.org... 77.48.224.243 === Guest58239 is now known as albrigha [22:32] ok i'm set var/www it is, yeah my logs are var/log, but my error logs for the domain are in the web directories [22:33] meerkats: or try this: cd; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh [22:33] i have a question [22:33] rainpebble, me to it's what your question?

[23:35] thanks phillw [23:35] someone235: personally I would just clean install Oneiric, you'll get a cleaner OS and faster [23:35] ActionParsnip, Agreed. [23:35] Mavrick95, good, you? [23:35] reCAPTCHA: If the CD/DVD turns out to be burned OK, then the problem is probably that (for whatever reason) the kernel isn't able to access the CD/DVD drive hardware. This can be worked around by using the minimal iso, which downloads all packages during install (and has an ugly, but not particularly hard to use, installer). [23:35] ActionParsnip, i did "do-release-upgrade" [23:36] does anyone know the release date (probable) for the next Ubuntu LTS? [23:36] ActionParsnip, it upgrade all at once, or with stages? [23:36] someone235: it's a good idea to put you home directory on it own partition, then upgrades are a lot easier [23:36] Mavrick95, The say around April. [23:36] They** [23:36] ok guys so i have a bummed install of ubuntu 11.04 anyone know if its possible to do a repair install? [23:36] Mavrick95: April this year is all we know for sure [23:36] aBound: thanks [23:36] No problem. [23:37] we know more than that [23:37] i just hope they fix the major bugs in 11.10, i had some issues with unity dash [23:37] April 26th is release day [23:38] we'll see. I bet it gets put back a little [23:38] Could not download all repository indexes i got this problem [23:38] October 18th for 12.10 [23:38] ActionParsnip, my mistake, i've upgraded to 10.04. do i need to restart b4 the next upgrade? [23:38] April 25th for 13.04, October 17th for 13.10, etc [23:38] someone235: I would, to make sure all is well [23:39] Guys I am not able to change permissions. Can anyone have a look at the ls -la results? [23:39] !pastebin | glioros [23:39] glioros: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:39] hi all.. we know API's imagebin or ubuntu pastebin? [23:39] glioros: are the files on NTFS? [23:39] PinoMino, If you're running 11.10 and/or 10.04.3 LTS you can use the software center to install VLC. If you're using an older version that doesn't get updated anymore not much I can do. [23:39] i'm developing an software [23:40] PinoMino: can you give a pastebin of the output as I requested, please [23:40] ActionParsnip: Please have a look http://pastebin.com/uhvDG8A7 . The main folder is fititis2 [23:40] Ben64: thanks, i will waiting for the next release [23:40] Using the ssh I can change the permissions but not through ftp access [23:40] whel i just started useing linux so im new her i dont really know what it is.. [23:41] Ben64: had enough with 11.10 >:( [23:41] me to pino [23:41] Mavrick95: you can already upgrade to 12.04, but it might not work how you want [23:41] SO if httpdocs is drwxrwxrwx 21 fititis2 psaserv 4096 Feb 4 22:49 why I cant change permissions through ftp? [23:41] PinoMino: copy the text and go to: http://pastie.org paste the text there and hit PASTE, when the page changes, copy the new url of the page and paste here === _k2s is now known as _k2s_ [23:42] PinoMino: you can use pastebins in Windows. They are not just used in Linux, so being new to Ubuntu is moot [23:42] Moot. lol [23:42] I tend to stick with the lts releases, hope unity gets more configurable before 12.04 [23:42] :P [23:42] or is that 13.04 [23:43] recon_lap: if you don't like unity you don't have to use it... [23:43] i dont see eny text there [23:43] Ben64: how actually does this "LTS" releases works? they are more stable, more time for official support, and that is it? [23:43] gnome3 is nearly as annoying [23:43] recon_lap, There's alternatives like gnome-shell and various GUIs/window managers. [23:43] i had to dump unity on my laptop, which is on 12.04, but theres a lot more graphical issues than just unity [23:43] :P [23:43] PinoMino: run: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get install vlc copy ALL of the output [23:43] ohh ok :} [23:43] Mavrick95: they are supported longer, less experimental features and things like that [23:43] recon_lap: Unity is a shell for Gnome3... [23:44] is tasksel the best way to convert a ubuntu desktop install into a no-gui server install ? [23:44] or removing ubuntu-desktop package via apt [23:44] recon_lap: Ubuntu Oneiric uses Gnome3 by default [23:44] ActionParsnip: Do you think it might be because of the appache user ? === s9iper1 is now known as bil21al [23:44] StormTide: I suggest you add the boot option: text it's less destructive [23:44] ActionParsnip: think i tried gnome-shell, could not configure destop much , then i tried mint , then i went back to 10.04 [23:44] glioros: no idea dude, sorry [23:45] ActionParsnip, its a fresh install i did from the alternate installer, i just screwed up and forgot to hit f4 [23:45] recon_lap: tried XFCE, LXDE, KDE, E17 ....? [23:45] so if it breaks something, thats ok too [23:45] StormTide: doesn't break anything, just doesn't load the GUI ;) [23:45] recon_lap: yeah they killed customizability [23:45] guys im having this issue while doing apt-get update [23:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/834623/ [23:45] ActionParsnip, i want to actually remove the packages if thats possible [23:45] recon_lap: you do know that Gnome is not the only desktop environment...right? [23:45] tasksel used to be able to do this... but havent used it in a long time [23:46] edgaras@Edgaras-laptop:~$ sudo lsb_release-a [23:46] [sudo] password for edgaras: [23:46] sudo: lsb_release-a: command not found [23:46] edgaras@Edgaras-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install vlc [23:46] Reading package lists... Done [23:46] Building dependency tree [23:46] Reading state information... Done [23:46] PinoMino: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:46] lol [23:46] anyone? [23:46] PinoMino: use the site I said, I was quite clear [23:46] PinoMino, are u italian? [23:47] Vako: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5 [23:47] ohh yea :D [23:47] i am italian XD [23:47] StormTide: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [23:47] Can i install ubuntu netbook on my desktop? [23:47] Vako: have patience child, [23:47] StormTide: follow the steps for your version, and just omit the last step of installing xubuntu [23:47] Steevca: netbook has been discontined [23:47] ActionParsnip , i'm just waiting and hope it's better in 13.04 [23:47] cfhowlett Oh. :( [23:48] 10.04 works great [23:48] still ActionParsnip [23:48] recon_lap: that it does [23:48] Steevca: just install ubuntu [23:48] recon_lap: I'd just switch desktop. XFCE is a lot like Gnome2 and you can run all your Gnome apps there === hays is now known as hays|afk [23:48] PinoMino, che problema hai? [23:48] ben64 cool, thx... will this update grub etc safely? [23:48] recon_lap: this is what i want in 12.04 http://www.ben64.com/customize.png [23:48] Steevca: or try a different flavor: lubuntu xubuntu [23:48] PinoMino: can you make a PASTEBIN using: http://pastie.org and we can advise [23:48] StormTide: it has nothing to do with grub [23:48] i did that and the same error comes at the end ActionParsnip [23:49] cfhowlett I want a netbook os because on pc i mostly use internet. [23:49] hello all [23:49] Guys, I need help... When I try to burn fedora into a CD, I get asked if I want to burn as file or as content, and when I click on the content button, the file-browser (nautilus?) crushes. :( [23:49] yea im trying, but the page always is loading :/ [23:49] what is the command to show the entire path you are at? [23:49] I have windows so i want to make dual boot. [23:49] should i install a anit virus? [23:49] Steevca: what's your hardware?? [23:49] Pete-Umbra this is ununtu chan not fedora :) [23:49] !virus | Mr [23:49] Mr: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [23:49] Vako: Yeah, but I'm using Ubuntu [23:49] to burn this. [23:49] ActionParsnip: tried xfce, it's the desktop in mint, but i'm odd and like my toolbar vertical on the left of screen [23:50] ok cool thanks [23:50] Pete-Umbra: use k3b [23:50] cfhowlett It's really old,But AMD Athlon 2200+,Ati Radeon 9550,1gb of ram. [23:50] If you need more tell me. [23:50] a good screen recorder for ubuntu? [23:50] crap cant fin a fix for this error/bug [23:50] Steevca: try a lighter ubuntu then: lubuntu or xubuntu should make that puppy dance... [23:50] recon_lap: if you got used to Unity then use it I guess, or you could make your own using xfpanel and so on [23:50] qo_op: recordmydesktop [23:51] qo_op: recordmydesktop and xvwincap exist [23:51] qo_op: omgubuntu have another but I forgot its name [23:51] ActionParsnip: hell no i did not get used to unity, I stuck with 10.04 [23:51] cfhowlett Ok,but i am kinda having a problem with my network adapter and i can't get it to work. [23:51] Steevca: you mean wifi? [23:52] cfhowlett Nope,i have a wired connection. [23:52] recon_lap: same kinda deal :) [23:52] Ethernet cable.

If so, whats the best way? [23:54] Vako: the key isn't essential, just nice to have, search for the GPG code online, you may find guides [23:55] qu_op, so it is gonna be a hassel ? [23:55] !mini|telnetter [23:55] telnetter: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:55] cfhowlett In windows xp it's working like a charm,but not in linuks,i have tryed JoliOS,Ubuntu and Fedora with no luck. [23:55] ActionParsnip: yep, none of the fancy wiggly windows muck for me [23:55] telnetter, boot up a live cd and install it on USB?

[23:56] does anyone have any suggestions of documentation i could read or programs i could use? [23:56] cfhowlett It's an pentium 4 if you mean that. [23:57] Does anyone know how to remove all printer drivers from Ubuntu? [23:57] I've tried several DNS servers, so that's not the problem [23:57] telnetter, havent tryed it whit ubuntu 11.10 but i did install full versjon of anohter ubuntu based os on a ssh [23:57] ericus: can you ping 8.8.8.8? [23:57] ActionParsnip: the google DNS? [23:57] yes [23:57] ActionParsnip: It's not a DNS problem [23:57] ericus: can you ping bbc.co.uk ? [23:57] my ISP has some problems [23:58] Steevca: okay, so a bit older machine. I suggest xubuntu [23:58] ericus: then its external to your OS isn't it [23:58] ActionParsnip: my problem with xfce was i could not put the tootbar vertically on the right , and the spellchecker did not seem to be integrated into text boxes [23:58] cfhowlett Can you tell me what is the main diference betwen ubuntu and xubuntu. [23:59] ActionParsnip: yeah my ISP has some kind of problems [23:59] recon_lap: panel-preferences vertical. Drag to right side. [23:59] : I'll try the minimal cd like ubottu (thanks ubottu, even though you are only a bot!) said to do. [23:59] ericus: then you'll have to wait [23:59] Steevca: x/l/buntu are both lightweight distros intended for lower specification machines. xubuntu has been around a bit longer is and arguably more developed and better supported. [23:59] ericus: could try rebooting the router [23:59] I know ActionParsnip :(
