[00:00] thanks a lot, Ben64, it worked. [00:00] Does anyone know how to remove all printer drivers from Ubuntu? [00:00] ActionParsnip: does not help :( [00:00] ^_^ [00:00] I have a linux gateway [00:00] Tried google's DNS [00:00] haux, printer will show you what is installed. [00:00] So finally I called my ISP [00:00] ericus: try setting the google dns in your system, not you linux gateway [00:00] Steevca: http://lubuntu.net/ && http://xubuntu.org/ [00:00] they told me that there is problems in my area [00:00] cfhowlett: i tried, the text was all messed up. anyway, i'm v happy with 10.04 lts , I 'll let the young guns bleed all over the new stuff === bil21al is now known as s9iper1 [00:01] urlin2u, aren't there preinstalled drivers to support a variety of printers? [00:01] ActionParsnip: I've already done that [00:01] recon_lap: right. see you in 12.04 then. [00:01] Thanks anyway [00:01] haux, only a list to choose from, not the drivers themselves I believe [00:01] cfhowlett Thanks. [00:01] They told me they'd send me a text when it's fixed [00:01] recon_lap: only way to go for servers [00:01] Steevca: no problem [00:01] telnetter, good luck :) === marius is now known as Guest44220 [00:02] cfhowlett: thats 13.04, got another year of relaxing [00:02] ericus: so why are you in here if no amount of config will help? [00:02] cfhowlett Can i also try an older version of ubuntu? [00:02] ActionParsnip: some sites works, but SLOW [00:02] and some does not, at all [00:02] haux, if you had a printer plugged in on install you might but printer will tell what is installed. Are you trying to clear HD space? [00:02] !eol|steevca [00:02] steevca: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:02] And as said, it's not a DNS problem [00:02] [nick/*/nick!user@host] can some one show me example how that should be filled out for chanserv [00:03] Does Wine come with Ubuntu? [00:03] Steevca: stick with Long Term Support releases most recent is 10.04 [00:03] I've called my ISP, as I've said [00:03] your talking to the guy who did 3 years c++ graphics programming in gedit for fun because i dont like ide's [00:03] ericus: its not an ubuntu issue though.. [00:03] cfhowlett Ok,thanks again. [00:03] some people bring a lot of wine [00:03] hi can anyone please tell me how to install jre? my path is old [00:03] always wineing lol [00:03] mr, no and your nic does not complete itis to short [00:04] im new [00:04] urlin2u, yes, I figure if there's a large database of printer drivers preinstalled, there's no need to keep them. I was able to add a network printer without Ubuntu downloading anything (as far as I could tell). So this makes me think that it comes with a lot of drivers by default [00:04] why is it to short? [00:04] no ActionParsnip, haha, sorry, I thought I was in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. My bad, I'm drunk :D [00:04] Mr, ah if I capitalize the M it completes with the tab otherwise no so no biggie. [00:05] can anyone please help out in installing java re? [00:05] haux, not sure really, butg if your HD is so full your clearing stuff that is niot a good thing. [00:05] but* [00:06] how do i change my name? [00:06] It's not. my ubuntu install is under 5gb [00:06] nic name? === edu is now known as Guest96937 [00:06] excluding /home [00:06] Mr /nick [00:06] does anyone know the terminal command to read a a file as if it has been parsed? [00:06] mr /nick [00:06] haux, a wubi? [00:06] wubi? [00:06] ? [00:06] haux, installed from windows. [00:06] Oh, no. [00:07] xubuntu === Guest96937 is now known as edu786 [00:07] /nick mynewlongernick [00:07] why cant i highlight text with my cursor?????? im on ubuntu 11.10 [00:07] does anyone know the sudo apt-get for jre? === Mr is now known as MrMr [00:07] haha there! [00:07] haux, rather small though al lit would take to lock it up is a logfile filling it up === MrMr is now known as Vag-Stain [00:07] BOOM [00:08] n [00:08] urlin2u, lock what up? [00:08] haux the OS [00:08] chris__: i think there is a jvm6 installed by default [00:08] what is the best torrent client? [00:09] !best|vag-stain [00:09] jd [00:09] vag-stain: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:09] recon_lap, ok ty what i need to know now is how to install from a tar.gz? [00:09] wow look at all these rules [00:10] urlin2u, well I mean, my install is ~5gb large. The partition is 30gb on a ssd. [00:10] Vag-Stain: nothing wrong with transmission (should be installed) [00:10] hi [00:10] i need your help [00:10] haux, ah I see, cool. [00:10] chris__: have you tried untaring it and reading the readme ? [00:10] !help | willfrand [00:10] willfrand: 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 [00:10] recon_lap, not yet do you advice?? [00:11] urlinu2 Trying to copy a newly downloaded folder to a new folder location what are the commands to do this? [00:11] i;'ve never herd of transmission [00:11] chris__ ; facepalm, you could untar it and read the readme [00:12] will do [00:12] Hello, Please take a look at this information: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8 [00:12] maujhsn, you can drag and drop or copy and paste. [00:12] if the destination is not in files [00:12] I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch [00:12] Urlin2u Happy New Year! [00:13] maujhsn, lol a bit late. :) [00:13] All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8 [00:13] Vag-Stain: http://bit.ly/zwfO9X [00:14] i've a .avi video, but this video was corrupted, i believe that was a virus, i need recuperate this video, i has to use the divfix, and the mobile media converter, but no resolve my problem. Im from colombia [00:14] !google | cfhowlett, [00:14] cfhowlett,: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [00:14] willfrand, virus in linux or windows? [00:14] urlin2u I get an error message when I try the drag and drop method! [00:14] willfrand: vlc may be able to fix it [00:15] cfhowlett: thanks [00:15] maujhsn, so where is the file and where is the destination? [00:15] and what is the file? [00:15] maujhsn: what error? [00:15] how to i run transmission? [00:15] Hi - I just did a fresh 11.04 install, and now I'm getting "error: no video mode activated" from grub on boot. Is this common? [00:16] willfrand, It was NOT a virus. I promise you that. Security companies have been conditioning windows loser for years to belive that antivirus is all that stops hell itself from invading their system. Unfortnatly, the truth is quite the opposite. There are no active viri that affect video files in the way you described. [00:16] Vag-Stain, start iot from the menu. [00:16] it [00:17] Vag-Stain: i image you need to click on the right icon/menu or whatever is gnome using this days [00:17] willfrand, It is far more likely that the file was corrupted via a device being unplugged while copying, severe fragmentation or a bad sector remap gone wrong. [00:17] how come free the fish doesnt work in ubuntu ? :( [00:17] recon_lap, cant find any details as to what todo in the read me im trying to install eclipse? [00:17] how do i run it from the terminal [00:17] ? [00:17] yes joseph, probably, but then, how can to make to recuperate this video? [00:18] willfrand, are you sure you may not just be missing codecs? [00:18] urlin2u, brontosaurusrex Error message permission denied! going from /home/dowloads/(file) to /usr/share/gimp. [00:18] It says to edit /etc/... but my grub drive only has "/boot" [00:18] got it thanks' [00:18] chris__: what file did you download, and does it contain a file that ends with .deb [00:19] maujhsn, what is the download, did y9ou check the repos? [00:19] recon just looking, [00:19] you [00:19] yes urlin2u, i sure that isn't the codecs [00:19] willfrand, It will all depend on how much damage has been done. A missing byte or two, vlc will do that. Alot missing? won't work. Make sure you have the proper codec installed and try VLC. [00:19] willfrand, avi is just video container could be a number of formats I believe. [00:19] i'm sure that the problem isn't codecs [00:19] willfrand, you could *in theory* overwrite the bad sectors with black a , besides a few black frames, your file would appear fine. [00:20] /home/chris/Downloads/eclipse-java-indigo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz no deb [00:20] here recon_lap [00:20] chris__ Question, why is someone who can't even install the IDE attempting to learn to program? [00:20] chris__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE , i followed these instructions when i installed [00:21] urlin2u gimp-gap-2.6.0-tar.bz2 [00:21] recon how long ago? [00:21] time for me to restart be back if everything goes ok [00:21] I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch [00:21] All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8 [00:21] Joseph, i suppose that this solution was possible with the divfix program, but when i execute divfix, it tell me that this file isn't a .avi file === aaron is now known as Guest7801 === Guest7801 is now known as albrigha [00:21] JosephHarrietha: everyone has to start somewhere [00:22] maujhsn, thatb is in my synaptic in 11.10. [00:22] willfrand, what command did you use? (If it is a console program, I've never heard of it) [00:22] divfix [00:22] willfrand: see ffmpeg [00:22] recon_lap, Start with bash, or maybe ya know... learning the logistics of how to actually use a computer .... such as standalone programs. [00:22] willfrand: maybe install mediainfo (it is not in repos, google it), then type : mediainfo my.avi and see what it says, after that you may be able to pick a proper tool for repair [00:23] urlin2u "The file downloads to the default download folder & I want to extract & compile it in GIMP! [00:23] JosephHarrietha: best to start with what you are interested in, the rest will follow quickly :) [00:23] recon_lap, Surely, someone who does not have the problem solving skills to figure out a simple archive, will not be very successful in programming. [00:23] willfrand: ffmpeg -i yourvideo.avi will tell just about everything you'd want to know. [00:23] maujhsn, out of my pay rate. :) [00:24] i'm going to ok brontosaurusrex, im going to try [00:24] recon_lap, Best to start with the basics. I was interested in Physics, I did not jump right into atomic energies. [00:24] recon_lap, thanks i found the repos which somehow eluded me [00:24] urlin2u "At least your honest". [00:24] willfrand: or what cfhowlett said, ffmpeg should be in repos [00:24] JosephHarrietha, no quantum theory at the start eh. :) [00:24] Any takers? [00:24] ok cfhowlett, i'm going to try, thanks [00:25] maujhsn, on a good day. :) [00:25] willfrand, is that it.... ? You didn't specific a file. [00:25] What is the name of the document scanning program in Ubuntu 11.10? [00:25] recon_lap, i mean package [00:25] urlin2u We all have ups & downs...no problem! :) [00:25] PaulEycks, simple scan [00:26] urlin2u, Sadly no. I am quite versed in the mechanics of quantum energies now, but a few years ago, I was still doing Dx and Dy :P [00:26] :O [00:26] PaulEycks, simple scan [00:27] JoeSomebody, hmm the nobel laureate I saw speak a while back said if we understood it we were doing better then him. [00:27] Thank you, I have an answer, simplescan. [00:27] PaulEycks, If you search "Scan" in the dashboard (Press the Win Key) you'll find it :P [00:27] hey is it possible to de-allocate space from my ubuntu partition after i've made it? === ai9371 is now known as CrackErJAckman [00:27] blazento, Yes, but not while its running haha. Make a gparted live CD. [00:27] PaulEycks: if you want pdf output file you can use gscan2pdf [00:28] JosephHarrietha: it just a matter of empowering the person to do what they want, I'm just giving simple pointers and chris is learning for himself. everyone starts out knowing nothing [00:28] JosephHarrietha, the whole field of hypothesis thoug hI guess [00:28] simple scan can output pdf as well [00:28] mine doesn't seem to want to [00:28] thats why I got the other one [00:28] oh :) [00:28] blazento, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/0.11.0-10/gparted-live-0.11.0-10.iso/download [00:28] blazento, Burn er to a disc, pop em in, and away you go :P [00:29] recon_lap, And in a week, he will be frustrated. still know nothing, and think its all too hard. Start him off easy, and let him grow. [00:29] JosephHarrietha: the ubuntu install CD has gparted on it, so why need an extra CD> [00:30] recon_lap, But of course, your way works as well. Nothing is more empowering than self defeat. [00:30] ActionParsnip, Because the ubuntu cd takes 2 minutes to boot and I'm an impatient geek. [00:31] <||||||||||||||||> JosephHarrietha, USB boot? [00:31] how would I detect a key being pressed, no matter what application is focused? [00:31] JosephHarrietha, For gparted? Yup. You can use pendrivelinux from windows, and the usb creator from linux. [00:31] Grub2 help, ubuntu 11.04 alternate install (raid/crypt/lvm)... video error... anyone? [00:32] butch256, Oh, I have the same thing. Truecrypt bootloader, esc to boot, right? [00:32] JosephHarrietha: your presupposing that he'll fail and give up. and i cant think of a better start to learing programming than installing an java ide , i would think he would read a programming book next [00:32] JosephHarrietha: "error: no video mode activated" on boot after fresh install [00:32] recon_lap: java? python is already installed on ubuntu [00:33] recon_lap, Java for a newbie? Meh. Better than BASIC I guess. But considering his previously demonstrated problem solving skills, I am sure my prediction is correct. [00:33] JosephHarrietha: I can successfully start the raid arrays and access the entire install within my live cd - but... no luck fixing so far... [00:34] butch256, I see, so its not a truecrypt bug. I've been ignoring it for a while.... maybe I'll get working on it. Since I have another case we can eliminate the possibilities. [00:34] JosephHarrietha, super faulty cause and effect bro. [00:34] butch256, Does it prevent your system from booting? [00:34] JosephHarrietha: No, i can hit escape and type in my pass etc... its just *really* annoying [00:34] butch256, Okay, so your in the same boat as me haha. [00:35] JosephHarrietha: seems so, if i ever figure it out i'll make a blog post, heh [00:35] butch256, Alright, can you put your /etc/default/grub file on pastebin? (I don't have a copy of default) and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:36] JosephHarrietha: usb will boot faster than any CD, why not advise they use a USB stick or maybe even buy one just for your impatience. Think about it [00:37] getting snippy tonight, long island ice tea's all round [00:37] ActionParsnip, I use a 8GB USB with about 6 distros, 13 system tools, 2 AV's and some other randoms made using YUMI. But as for them, I guess I would have been better off saying the gparted in the live cd :P I just don't like it personally. [00:37] JosephHarrietha: it's the default, no worried, i'm going to finish the rest of my install now (current on laptop, desktop doesnt have net access yet) [00:38] JosephHarrietha: the user already has the tool you need, just strange to advise to download what they already have [00:38] butch256, Alright, can you put them up anyway? (I don't have a copy of the defaults since my system is far from default). I'll compare them and eliminate more possiblities. [00:38] JosephHarrietha: I have a PXE boot with all that stuff, no need for USB [00:38] ActionParsnip, Personal preference makes my advice to others different then what most would consider the "simplest route" [00:39] ActionParsnip, I've never seen a need for that. Clutters up the bootloader. I have truecrypt chainload grub2 ( hidden since I only has one entry). [00:40] ActionParsnip, I used to have a quint boot, but Arch was too time consuming, Hackintosh was too buggy and Jolicloud was pretty much useless. [00:41] butch256, once your install is done of course. [00:41] JosephHarrietha: try xpud, fastest boot I ever saw [00:41] Good evening. [00:42] ActionParsnip, I'm going to stick with what I have. Its a stable system, and due to the encryption on both my Ubuntu LTS and Windows 7 (Never upgrading to 8. Ever)... I'd rather not mess with a good thing. [00:42] #plone [00:43] JosephHarrietha: the stuff in Lucid is painful on newer kit in my experience. I always grab the next release when it hits alpha1 [00:43] ActionParsnip, I can't really afford to either. Managing two Debian repo's, 4 websites and Uni gets stressful. [00:44] ActionParsnip, I can't, I need stability. LTS is the best chance Ive got without going for Debian sqeeze haha. [00:45] ActionParsnip, I used to have time to mess with my system and wipe my harddrive every month to have more fun... sadly, this is not the case anymore. [00:45] JosephHarrietha: I manage several DCs for work as well as remote customers, but its not my kit. My home PC gets played with lots [00:47] ActionParsnip, I see, My PC is my work and play. Its a 2009 Gateway MD73 with plenty of upgrades :P, Getting a MBP in June though. [00:48] ActionParsnip, I may just fit it into this case If I can haha. I'll miss it. Red, Silver, Black .... I hate the pure white of apples monopoly. [00:48] I. Love. Android. I wouldn't use any other mobile OS. [00:48] Regardless, I shall ask once more. Soon I must leave. [00:48] syn-ack, To each his own. Personally, I prefer to have a phone that dosen't require debugging. [00:48] syn-ack: same :) [00:48] I am having trouble with my headset. When speaking I sound slow and demonic. I have no idea why its slowing my voice /lowering the pitch [00:49] All information required is in the link I have sent, repeated here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fb0aa063d86d1aeae48c9cbadca3a85627173af8 [00:49] JosephHarrietha: never had to debug the G1 and GT540 I have had [00:49] JosephHarrietha, My phone doesn't require any debugging, either. It's actually really stable. [00:50] ActionParsnip, I am only taking shots haha. The nexus looks very nice, I've been using a flip phone for years XD! Never upgraded. Got an iPod Touch just because I kept breaking Mp3 players. [00:51] JosephHarrietha: does an external mic work ok? [00:51] It is an external. === NotKruz is now known as VunKruz [00:52] The internal Mic stopped working about... last year? maybe two years ago? Haha. My fiancee spilled coffee on it.... [00:52] JosephHarrietha:Dont have any ideas other than posting on the help forums might get some answers [00:53] Alright. Damn, that's what I get for using a microsoft headset. Christmas gift gone wrong haha [00:54] Q: how do I start pidgin in another environment, eg "$ DISPLAY=:0.1 && pidgin" does not start up in workspace 1. Any helpful advice ?? [00:54] Anyway, I best be off. I have work to do, and noobs to pwn at physics (Kidding :P ). Goodbye, and a brief, "have a nice day" to you all [00:54] JosephHarrietha: lol is the headset running vista :P [00:57] rsvp: you can use devilspie (and gdevilspie from googlecode to configure it) to setup which desktop apps start on as well as window dimenstion if you really want [00:58] ActionParsnip, there must be simple command line solution to start up a program in a desired workspace. [00:59] hello [01:00] hi im looking for a linux software comparable to max/msp, cant find anything usable with google. any suggestions? [01:00] can anyone tell me what the difference in installer & just unpack & run? [01:01] in this case its for a game [01:01] Ubuntu 11.04 does not see my ethernet controller, lspci | grep -i Ethernet does not bring up anything. ifconfig just shows loopback interface. ifconfig eth0 up shows no such device. EVGA motherboard has built in ethernet card. what do? [01:01] I know just unpack & run will not install [01:02] install will make it automatically available in ubuntu's menu system [01:02] and might make it possible to automatically update the game [01:02] depending on what the installer actually does [01:02] with unpack and run you'll have to manually make menu entries and manually update [01:03] 7quit [01:03] zebon_: really depends on the installer, most installers will unpack the program plus other jobs automatically [01:04] so erm yeah. experienced horrible crash on windows/ubuntu dual boot system while using windows 2 days ago. No live CD's or fresh ubuntu install will see the network card anymore [01:04] I prefer manually doing things [01:04] windows won't install due to bad disc [01:04] installing onto a 4GB usb stick. all went well, but will not boot. says non system disk boot failure. trying to use a boot repair disk which will fix the grub. but I don't want to mess up my systems dual boot. do I purge and reinstall on sdd1 (the usb drive, then place the grub onto sdd? really new user here. [01:05] ok thank you [01:05] the actual crash made it impossible to boot any OS (pretty sure mbr and windows boot filesystem were simultaneously corrupted) [01:05] reinstalled ubuntu 11.04 [01:05] zenon_: might be getting a lot of external dependency's for example [01:05] i did reconfigure graphic drivers as originally from Oneiric after testing some 3th party driver but now i only get the 2d option to work and when i use unity i only get the background [01:05] can no longer connect to internet with wired device [01:05] Hey guys. I have the stupid on-screen keyboard stuck on my login screen (I guess it's lightdm), but the quit button is disabled. How do I make it go away? [01:05] ok [01:05] kinda in trouble... on laptop without cd writing abilities [01:05] Hello, i am trying to create a page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SebLemery but it tells me i am not allowed. How can someone be allowed to do so? [01:05] really want to force system to see network card - would solve all my issues [01:06] so in cases its more secure to unpack & run? [01:06] physical light on network card is on [01:06] * Sebastien is a member of http://ubuntu-qc.org/ [01:06] so it's receiving power I guess... but not visible to any OS [01:07] no network gurus here? :( [01:08] Vovk: can you ping the router's internal IP? [01:08] telnetter, how did you install on the usb? [01:09] zenon_: it hard to know, really depends on the program/installer , some installers do little more than unpack the program, others can do lots more. if you want secure you probably have to check the code and compile it yourself [01:09] router's internal ip is 127.0.0.0? [01:09] oh [01:10] no. internal ip of the router is 192.168.1.1 (it's actually a laptop forwarding a connection) cannae ping [01:10] telnetter, you can load grub to the mbr area of the usb with a kive ubuntu disc, would you like a link? [01:10] urlin2u, from a livecd, chose sdd1 format ext4, chose swap second partition on sdd and grub on sdd1. [01:10] Vovk: ok, does the interface have an IP address? [01:10] interface is not found [01:10] ifconfig just shows loopback interface [01:10] lspci does not even show the card [01:11] Vovk: ok then run: sudo lshw -C network youi will see the interface name [01:11] have you tried compiling drivers? [01:11] Vovk: you will need the product line [01:11] Vovk [01:11] I'm noob at linux in transition, how do I go abount maintaining setup? [01:11] urlin2u, i have 'boot-repair' which will purge and repair grubs. is that the same thing? [01:11] zenon_: keep on top of updates [01:11] cheers Recon [01:11] Vovk, is it enabled in the bios ? [01:11] zenon_: you can use apps like bleachbit to keep the OS clutter free, otherwise it's pretty ok [01:12] telnetter, 3 methods of putting grub in the mbr read carefully. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 [01:12] bios is on factory default, running lshw [01:12] lshw -C Network -> nothing [01:12] zenon_ no one checks the code, trusting the supplier and keeping uptodate normal [01:12] sudo lshw shows a lot of things, none of which are network card [01:12] wondering if it's physically damaged [01:12] don't know how it could be tho [01:13] maybe a spider crawled in and sparked it... low chance of that tho... [01:13] thank you all [01:13] I want to check the code. [01:13] but I'm noob [01:13] Vovk, it was working in windows, correct? [01:13] Vovk what type of laptop is it ? does it have a FN key to enable/disable network ? [01:13] telnetter, personally I would not use any gui grub repair, but I knkw the basics of doing it from a live cd or using suoergrub to boot the OS and just doing it from the desktop terminal. [01:13] loosening off the eyes ^^ [01:13] Oer, My HP does. [01:13] supergrub* [01:14] was working in windows - then windows crashed (lulz) and suddenly, nothing would boot. reinstalled ubuntu on same HD, it boots [01:14] it is a desktop [01:14] writing to you from lappy [01:14] so if you know or can find out the model of the laptop, and from that determine your nic, id suggest finding specific drivers for your nic and compiling them for the kernel [01:14] i think thats a good step to take [01:15] thats what id do at this point if i were you [01:15] what tutorials should I watch? [01:15] not on a laptop. EVGA FTW 720 motherboard with built in ethernet card [01:15] urlin2u, i have the gui boot-repair. if I tell it to scrub and reinstall the grub on sdd1, then the other option is 'force grub install to' i should choose sdd right? and that won't affect the other two installs I have on the hard drives? [01:15] oh, wellwhatever [01:15] can still do it [01:15] telnetter, never used it I can't confirm anything. [01:16] zenon_ ; seriously, if you distrust the program that much you probably should not install it. [01:16] hmm want nvidia NIC driver for linux [01:16] or nvidia nic module [01:16] the thing is it used to work from a vanilla ubuntu livecd [01:16] using same livecd won't find NIC anymore [01:17] its for my own kowledge [01:17] Vovk: check BIOS [01:17] rebooting to check BIOS [01:17] well if thats true then i bet your nic is fried :/ [01:17] Vovk: its probably some realtek thing [01:17] prolly [01:17] I dont trust ubuntu [01:17] you can usually trust ubuntu [01:17] its good [01:17] I like it [01:17] telnetter, always run a sudo fdisk -l to confirm the usb though as if you boot with a uab the partitions can be moved in how they are being read. Such as then sda of the hd might read as sdb and the usb as sda [01:17] just can't trust it to not install bloat... but you can take that out yourself [01:18] but I need to learn how to secure check & fix [01:18] & everything [01:18] bloat the noobs favorite word. lol [01:18] I lol [01:19] zenon_ lol, 4 years collage , and probably 5+ years working in computer security and you would be off to a good start [01:19] meanig you [01:19] zenon_: the default setup isn't badly setup for security [01:19] in BIOS [01:19] looking for something to help [01:19] yeh I need to get cracking, excuse the pun [01:19] found MAC0 and MAC1 lan disabled [01:19] only 2 choices are disabled and auto... switched them to auto [01:19] I don't want to crack. [01:19] don't think that was the right thing tho [01:19] Vovk: grab your bios manual onmline, you may just need to set it to factory defaults and be ok [01:20] it was at factory defaults [01:20] Vovk: just flick through the menus, see what you can find [01:20] my veiws on security are that it should be updated & secured before even near the net [01:21] Vovk check all settings to be sure, enable execute bit and stuff [01:21] I don't know how to do that will linux yet [01:21] checked all settings, enabled basically everything. traying again [01:21] trying again* [01:21] urlin2u, yeah, its sdd in fdisk [01:21] *with [01:21] zenon_: updates offline is possible but pretty unnecessary [01:22] I think it is [01:22] its just logic [01:22] zenon_: offline windows updates for a home user? Seems excessive [01:22] mac being uncrashible turned out to be a myth [01:22] zenon_: you got a WSUS server? [01:22] zenon_: you just been using windows to long, ubuntu starts off secure [01:22] telnetter, still can't confirm myself on a app I have never used, I gave you the link to fix it easily from a ubuntu live cd though. [01:22] bah windows... I hate booting into it [01:23] urlin2u, yes, thanks I will try that. [01:23] I don't know what wsus is [01:23] zenon_: then you make changes and make it less secure [01:23] feels filthy to use windows now that I have ubuntu [01:23] I read it some where a bit backj [01:23] zenon_: its an updates server which runs on the network, professional companies have them so easch server doesn't use the new to update from [01:23] telnetter, download supergrub to boot into the usb and install the grub bootloader from there one command and a update-grub. [01:24] zenon_: how would you updte a windows PC without web connection and without WSUS? [01:24] I'm noob to ervers too =/ [01:24] ActionParsnip, You'd use BITS [01:24] can do addressing on the most part [01:24] cheers [01:24] turning on everything in bios fixed [01:24] syn-ack: bits uses the web.. [01:24] not sure how windows effected BIOS, but should be good now. [01:24] zenon_: how do you update windows before going on the web... [01:24] zenon_; been running ubuntu since 2006 without anti virus software and never got a virus [01:24] Thats true [01:25] routers just I don't know all of it [01:25] telnetter, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ [01:25] how the hell did one of my network interfaces disappear? [01:25] Magic [01:25] no, srsly. [01:25] hayer: arer you Vovk ? [01:25] no. [01:25] there is no "networking" service [01:25] I'm refreshed to the point of knowing I need all the sp's & security updates for the sp's [01:25] hayer: ok, if you run: sudo lshw -C network do you see the device? [01:26] exe's [01:26] damn, you beat me to it ActionParsnip [01:26] * Lint wonders what OS kernel.org was running without an antivirus software [01:26] lol i am not hayer [01:26] brb scrolling right back to see what I missed [01:27] zenon_: but what about if you need more that you don't have, its clunky as anything for very little gain [01:27] it says "DISABLED".. [01:27] what does lshw -C Network show hayer? [01:27] is there a way block a ubuntu system from internet access but allow for lan connections ? basically I want to be able to transfer files locally but not globally [01:27] hayer: is there a switch to enable or disable networking? [01:27] lwizardl: you could set no DNS servers, then set the hostnames in /etc/hosts [01:27] telnetter, if you use the supergrub disc to get in to the usb OS I can give you the command to load the grub bootloader. [01:27] when I get to security software with windows I give up I don't want to pay for what is'nt securing me [01:28] ActionParsnip: i ask u. [01:28] !ot | zenon_ [01:28] zenon_: #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! [01:28] hayer [01:28] in terminal -> ifconfig [01:28] zenon_ : just install ubuntu and stop thinking in windows , you'll be safe [01:28] & with socket vulnerabilities whats the point. [01:28] how can i search multiple directories for a file that has a word in the file name? [01:28] lets get back to ubuntu support. windows chat in ##windows [01:29] I know linux is more secure anyway [01:29] recon_lap: at least moderately [01:29] zenon - if you are paranoid, you can use Firestarter to get a firewall set up [01:29] it's an interface for iptables, which you can read about [01:29] Vovk, its been displaced by ufw/gufw [01:29] linux + firewall + sane user access control = basically good [01:29] thats not tech advice ^^ [01:29] as far as i recall ubuntu has all ports closed by default [01:29] ah, did not know that bazhang [01:29] bazhang, whaaaa? [01:29] personally i think the "firewalls" suck for linux [01:30] goddard, hmm? [01:30] hayer: look at the keyboard and such [01:30] blocks access to certain ports [01:30] hayer: or you may have a hard switch [01:30] Vovk: well i mean it in the sense that the GUI sucks [01:30] and can forward ports to other ones [01:30] thank you for all advice [01:30] zenon_: I use firestarter... you can sit there and watch the traffic if you want [01:30] what else do you want a firewall to do? [01:30] <_schism_> anyone running ksplice? [01:30] scrolling back now [01:30] goddard, There's nothing wrong with iptables in and of it's self, but nothing compares to ipw, imo [01:30] Vovk: make it easier less work [01:30] hayer: you can also use network manager to enable / disable connections [01:30] thats what I want. [01:30] ActionParsnip: nope, nothing - its a desktop running server [01:31] cheers [01:31] firestarter has a fairly nice gui wizard [01:31] syn-ack, if you read the channel guidelines it might help you. :) [01:31] urlin2u, I know exactly what the channel guidelines are. [01:31] I'm learning on ubuntu, going to use more advanced distro when ready [01:31] zenon_ it also has stop all traffic feature just in case [01:31] Vovk: it is a little dated is all I'm saying [01:31] syn-ack, excellent. :) [01:31] Vovk: it does a good job but it could be better [01:32] hayer: try: sudo rfkill unblock all [01:32] how can i search multiple directories for a file that has a word in the file name? [01:32] goddard: sudo find /path/to/folder | grep name === megan is now known as Guest81507 [01:33] ActionParsnip: thanks, I learned something again [01:33] ActionParsnip: that works if the "name" isn't exact and just has the word in the name? cool [01:33] goddard: grep -lir string * [01:33] my electricity cut out on machine, how would that effect sys & what do I have to do form maintenance? [01:33] i think [01:33] goddard: it can be any part, I suggest you use: grep -i make it case insensitive [01:33] *for [01:33] zenon_, ##hardware [01:33] goddard: I use sudo with find so you don't get access denied messages [01:34] ActionParsnip: OK [01:34] hello [01:35] Wargasm: learning is good :D [01:35] ActionParsnip: rfkill not found :s [01:35] hi Guest81507 , you might want to pick a name using /nick [01:36] how can i do that [01:36] hayer: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [01:36] !nick | Guest81507 [01:36] Guest81507: just type '/nick thenameyouwant' [01:36] Guest81507: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. [01:37] okay [01:37] as well my sound card is'nt working right, might install ubuntu studios after I have a shot at fixing [01:38] ActionParsnip: gimme a sec, rebooting - seem'd like the service-thingy crashed. === onlygentoo is now known as mostlygentoo [01:40] ActionParsnip: when booting it waits 2-3mins at "Waiting for network configuration.." then it says "Waiting up to 60 more secs for network configuration" [01:42] hayer: is the network cable ok? [01:42] hayer: have you tried a different port [01:42] port? [01:42] hey I'm currently trying to combine jailkit + fuse + ssh, has anyone been able to do this before? [01:42] yepp, cable is ok - problem is that the interface dosnt show up [01:42] not even in ifconfig [01:43] what does ifconfig list? [01:43] ActionParsnip: sweet it worked, very interesting [01:43] hayer; paste the output of lshw -C network [01:43] Zebon, Unzebon *.^ [01:43] recon_lap: gimme some secs, got to type [01:45] is there a way to limit which directories sshfs & scp can connect to via ssh? [01:45] finally [01:45] 1 random restart later and internet connection achieved :D [01:45] \o/ [01:45] recon_lap: that thing is taking a long time [01:45] well... 1 random restart, 1 switching which card the cable was plugged into, and 1 entering of the correct manual router details [01:46] goddard: what thing? [01:46] recon_lap, ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/834697/ [01:46] Wargasm: its good fun. can also use: locate | grep stuff and so on [01:46] also, I just realized that the most recent release is called oneiric ocelot... I think Shuttleworth is mad... [01:47] hayer: is there a command line tool to paste clipboard text to ubuntu pastebin? [01:47] hayer: try ifup eth0 [01:47] with sudo? [01:47] Vovk: just use version numbers and ignore the codenames then [01:47] goddard: no, not as i know of [01:48] $sudo ifconfig eth0 [01:48] $sudo ifconfig eth0 up [01:48] fair 'nuff. also actionparsnip, did nvidia release open source drivers for their 9000 line of cards? [01:48] i have a very vivid memory of having to download proprietary drivers [01:48] opps been a long time since i fought again a network card [01:49] Vovk you mean neuvou drivers? [01:49] neuvou is ??? [01:49] recon_lap: just says-> /etc/network/interfaces:10: unknown method \n ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces" [01:49] remember I had to grab graphics drivers [01:49] nouveau* [01:49] Vovk what does this give you > lspci | grep VGA [01:50] recon_lap: my line 10 looks like this-> iface eth0 inet auto - line 9-> auto eth0 [01:50] if you want 3D acelleration I would still suggest going with the binary nvidia drivers [01:50] Vovk: not sure, I always add the xorg edgers updates ppa and install the 290 driver straight off [01:50] if you don't, nouveau drivers are great [01:50] nVidia Corp G92 GeForce 9800 GT [01:50] is postfix with postgresql support easier to set up on centos or ubuntu? is ubuntu generally easier to work with? [01:50] hayer: sudo ifconfig eth0 and sudo ifconfig eth0 up , i'm out of date and forgetfull kopilo seem more current [01:50] Vovk: I've had ok performance with nouvaeu but Its a habit, kills of plymouth but I don't care [01:51] also i would love 3D acceleration, tho the drivers used to be available in what used to be called the Restricted Drivers Manager [01:51] that manager now shows 0 drivers [01:51] Vovk: I've used both drivers on a 6150 LE and its been ok. I'd imaginr the 9800GT will be ok. [01:51] Vovk: check with glxgears [01:51] apparently unity can't run on a vanilla install with 9800 gt [01:51] tho apparently unity is crap [01:51] kopilo, recon_lap: didnt do anything? [01:51] Vovk: run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and it will install the driver you need [01:52] and i plan to use fluxbox anyway... but still [01:52] aah cheers parsnip [01:52] Just same old "Link encap: Ethernet.. " still no ip etc [01:52] I have used nouveau drivers with 9800GT was fine for 2D stuff [01:52] Vovk: a software's appeal and quality is a personal thing. Some folks love unity, some hate it [01:52] i plan to give unity a try [01:52] Vovk: so it is completely subjective, its like ANY software you can name [01:52] if it's anywhere as configurable as fluxbox, and doesn't eat a stupid amount of resources, i'll probably stick with it out of laziness [01:53] icewm, openbox ? [01:53] fvwm [01:53] Vovk: I wouldn't say it was as configurable as fluxbox, fluxbox is VERY customizable [01:53] <3 fluxbox [01:53] <3 openbox [01:53] fair nuff [01:53] <3 xfce4 xD [01:53] same deal [01:54] features of openbox over fluxbox? [01:54] lxde doesn't seem too bad though [01:55] hayer: try lspci -nn | grep Network [01:55] Vovk: they are based on the similar code, not really sure of the differences really [01:55] kopilo: lxde rocks [01:55] nvm.. in the interfaces i had "auto" .. When it should have been "dhcp".

I'm confused >_< [02:38] ls -ld /home [02:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/834733/ [02:39] T_H_X: check tha pastebin link there [02:39] and what's weird is that I reset all those permissions before I rebooted [02:39] when I rebooted again all the perms were changed up [02:40] Nach0z: is your username 'vader'? [02:40] Nach0z: check ls -ld / and ls -ld /home [02:40] ActionParsnip, yep, i am actually running it as a script to add my todolist to the desktop background, everytime i start my day. https://github.com/clu3/ubuntu-desktop-todo-list ^^ [02:41] clu3: nice, I have similar but its a post install script called: dostuff [02:41] Nach0z: they shouldboth be drwxr-xr-x [02:41] ActionParsnip: yeah that's me [02:41] Nach0z: if not do chmod 755 / /home [02:41] T_H_X: they were, but owned by root [02:41] Nach0z: thats fine [02:42] T_H_X: ActionParsnip: Here's the weird part. When I re-set the permissions and rebooted, the permissions got changed BACK to broken when I logged in [02:42] but when I edited /etc/fstab to NOT have /dev/sda9 as /home/vader, and rebooted after fixing perms again, the permissions were all fixed and stuff when I rebooted again [02:43] alright. So new problem for yall then [02:44] I have a partition I want to mount as /home/vader, so how do I do this without breaking ubuntu? XD [02:44] Nach0z: maybe the drive wasnt mounted when you fixed the perms. [02:44] i cant find the xorg.conf file through console mode, it is not found. can it be the reason why my computer is booting to a black screen? [02:44] ActionParsnip, nice. i find todolist in the background image so much easier than opening another todolist app [02:44] Nach0z: are you forcing uid and gid via fstab? [02:45] T_H_X: not a dang clue. not entirely sure how to check either to be honest [02:46] the options were nodev,nosuid though [02:46] dunno if that helps at all [02:47] Nach0z: /dev/sda9 /home/vader ext4 defaults 0 2 in fstab, if its ext4 FS.. then mount it [02:47] !lista [02:47] 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 ». [02:48] okidoki. [02:48] lemme try that out then and reboot [02:48] will I need to chown the partition and stuff to myself after this? [02:48] yes [02:48] morning :) === dave is now known as Guest75581 [02:49] heh [02:49] T_H_X: so that's the exact command? don't use nosuid or something instead of 'defaults'? [02:50] nah [02:50] alrighty [02:50] will try it out then [02:51] when i try to boot up my computer, before the black screen hits, i can see a line that says "load fallback graphics = [fail]". does that mean I lack ubuntu's standard drivers necessary to solve the black screen issue? i traced back my problem to ati's proprietary graphics, need to remove it. [02:52] Mavrick95: what computer are you on just outta curiosity? [02:52] I have an ATI card that also doesn't work [02:53] Nach0z: mine is ati discrete gpu Radeon HD5670 [02:53] hey T_H_X it works, thanks hombre [02:53] Mavrick95: I meant the computer itself, like is it a pavilion dv by any chance? [02:53] like a HP pavilion dv5 or dv6? [02:54] Nach0z: no, self build [02:54] Nach0z: rockin [02:54] ah. Mavrick95 is it a hybrid graphics system? intel HD graphics + ATI graphics? [02:54] ActionParsnip: sorry for butting in there [02:55] T_H_X: got one more question for ya. is there a tag for cp that will make it NOT overwrite files? [02:56] Nach0z: yes, actually i bought thinking of crossfiring with the iGPU from ASUS MoBo, but that is onloy possible while in windows environment [02:56] yeah that's the problem :/ [02:56] hybrid graphics + ATI + Linux BREAKS HORRIBLY :/ [02:56] Nach0z: so it was not enabled the hybrid graphics [02:56] hi can anyone please help me to uninstall the android sdk i have problems? [02:57] Mavrick95: so you disabled switchable gfx in the bios? [02:57] Nach0z: use -i interactive cp [02:57] ok. [02:57] Nach0z: type man cp it will tell yu all about it [02:57] Nach0z: i dont know, but i did not change anything related to that in BIOS [02:58] T_H_X: thanks. just gonna use -n then [02:58] :) [02:58] Mavrick95: if you have hybrid graphics in any way you're pretty much S.O.L buddy. I've been workin on making hybrid ATI stuff work for MONTHS now with no luck whatsoever. But if someone else can help you, I'll step aside. XD [02:59] whats crackin?

I am trying to install ubuntu alongside Mint 11. Even if I wanted to replace Mint I can't. I've burned 3 iso dvds (correctly) and they do not boot even when I f12 and go from the DVD (I am using a toshiba satellite laptop). I'm more than a bit irritated at this point. I don't have room on my usb device to do it from there. Suggestions? Thanks in advance. [03:37] scope: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [03:38] yer i did [03:38] and that what i got [03:38] scope: are you using KDE ? [03:38] lilja_: why would you need both when they share repositories?? [03:38] im on ubuntu 10.10 [03:38] maverick [03:38] ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/834768/ [03:39] lilja_: IOW just install the ubuntu apps you want in mint [03:39] well, I'd just as easily replace and call it a day; so tired I can't even remember what my point was in keeping mint katya [03:39] yer same again [03:39] Vako: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks?

[03:41] cfhowlett shouldn't I be able to install ubuntu one way or another? I just don't understand why it won't install. Mint 12 Lisa and Mint 12 KDE won't either but I get further in the process before it stops [03:41] wow thats too advance for a newbie [03:41] Vako: ok can you give a pastebin of: lsusb; lspci Thanks [03:41] scope: hardly.. [03:42] lilja_: what error msg's are you getting and what're your hardware specs? [03:42] dude you have proberbly been doing this foryears i started pogrammimg last week [03:42] this is the first time iv ever used a linux pc [03:42] baby steps man baby step [03:42] ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/834770/ [03:43] but i will gie it a try the worst that can happen is i bodge it and have to restart [03:43] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11674650#post11674650 Any ideas? Please reply in the thread, I'm off to sleep now (it's 4:43 in the morning :S) [03:44] I don't remember for the Mint 12 Lisa disc what the message was, but the others do not display any.. they simply do not work at all. Ubuntu ends up just taking several minutes of the cursor moving down, then it suddenly boots as Mint 11 again. Per specs do you need to know more than which toshiba laptop I am using? Such as how much RAM, etc? [03:44] lilja_: is this a dual boot? [03:45] I don't have it set up that way. Just Mint 11 right now, and this morning I had to redo that as apparently no swap drive was created the first time it was installed. [03:45] lilja_: are you able to play or operate any other cd's in that disk? Mine was doing the same thing and I learned that it had actually failed. Confirmed as it didn't show up in the Places menu... [03:46] oh you mean the integrity of the disk itself? [03:46] Vako: are you running this in VMWare? [03:46] That I am uncertain of as I've now made 3 different ones [03:46] lilja_: no I mean the dvd|rw driver itself had failed. [03:46] ActionParsnip yes [03:47] So, being a n00b here.. the app I used to burn the iso image? === zeb84 is now known as ant0xa [03:47] lilja_: hardware failure not software. [03:47] It said it was successful but seeing as every disk I've made with it is worthless.. that could be the case [03:47] Ah [03:47] I sure hope not. [03:47] Is there a test I can run for that? [03:48] lilja_: my replacement cost $69. Test: stick in a music cd. If it plays, you're good. If not... [03:48] How do I keep transmission from using too much memory and crashing itself and every other app i'm running? [03:48] Vako: I'd ask in #vmware to make sure the network config is correct [03:49] *facepalm I definitely don't have $69 lol. Well I know there is another way to install it like I have a tablet or something but I tried that when I still had vista on this thing and it could never get past not unmounting the CD/DVDROM. [03:49] lilja_: no way to burn it to USB and boot? [03:49] superdave321: can you give a pastebin of the output of: apt-cache policy transmission; lsb_release -a Thanks [03:51] lilja_: http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-a-bootable-usb-device-on-linux-mint-11 [03:51] Hmm. I could if I had room on a usb device but I don't as that is where I am keeping my bajillion personal files till I get this done. :-/ Ok so another line of questions. I wanted to make a virtual box to put xp on there just so I can run adobe cs3 for win. If everything else works out, is that possible? [03:51] :-D Thank you. [03:51] test [03:51] lilja_: should be possible. NOt entirely certain on cs3 tho [03:52] lilja_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584 [03:52] guess not... [03:52] yeah that is a risk I have to take. I'm hoping to download and install it again, then sell it so.. who knows [03:52] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/834775/ [03:53] i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and my external drive is not recognized. it doesnt pop up [03:53] lilja_: 8 g usb drive should'nt cost $20. Burn an iso boot up [03:53] on ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 it all worked fine [03:53] ActionParsnip: this may not have given you what you need... [03:53] superdave321: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [03:53] superdave321: was fine :) [03:53] K I'm going to remove a couple files I can live without and try that [03:53] ActionParsnip: ok. will try.

[04:09] ActionParsnip: rather not try, that is [04:10] superdave321: it won't affect that in any way... [04:11] superdave321: each user has its own torrents, so running it as a different user won't affect any other users torrents [04:12] ActionParsnip: i'm just saying that i'd rather not log out and try. unless i'm assuming incorrectly... [04:12] superdave321: making a new user and running the app there will test if your settings are causing the issue. If the app misbehaves as the new user with vanilla settings then your settings are the issue, if its the same then it is the application itself at fault [04:12] superdave321: yes, you would need to log out [04:13] superdave321: but its something very useful to test [04:14] ActionParsnip: ok.

[04:23] zulfan, if you can copy-paste the information you were sending into pastebin and then give us the link, perhaps we can assist you [04:24] IsmAvatar: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4314/on-screen-keyboard-malfunctioning-on-login-screen try find the dconf equivelants of those commands [04:24] EvilResistance : http://paste.ubuntu.com/834799/ [04:24] i have those trouble when installing gmount iso [04:25] zulfan: mounty is pretty decent too [04:25] i try to sudo apt-get remove gmount iso and puthon-central and reinstalling again [04:25] but always same msg error [04:25] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/mounty-simple-disk-image-mounter-for-ubuntu/ [04:25] *python-central [04:25] mounty is the nuts for people who can't loop mount an ISO file.. [04:26] ok i try to see those link [04:26] urlin2u: not sure how I'd find out. It doesn't give its name. It was just the Ubuntu 10.04 default. It's white and smooth looking, which seems to be different from the screenshots I'm seeing of Orca's on-screen keyboard. [04:27] i want to try ubuntu but i don't know which version 32bits or 64bits and kubuntu or xubuntu??? and what is the best thing to do to install it alonside windows? do i have to create a new partition first? [04:27] rubst3r: if you just want to try the OS, you can boot a liveCD or USB and use the OS there, in RAM [04:28] rubst3r: The installer can resize your NTFS, If you use Win7 it can resize it's own NTFS partition and leave free space too [04:28] rubst3r: either way ensure your backups are up to date in case of catastrophe [04:28] Hi can anyone help me on how to use xchat through proxy(tor) or point me to an article. [04:29] anonionchan: have you not found one online? [04:29] IsmAvatar, I'm just guessing here. [04:30] i've actually been looking but I may just be blind as hell -_- [04:30] never used orca IsmAvatar [04:30] IsmAvatar: then the commands on that page I gave will work [04:30] so i dont need use gmount use another software wright? awesoome why i dont think about this iḿ really dunno [04:30] this my first time use ubuntu [04:30] zulfan: you can do it in command line if you want, it's not hard [04:30] ActionParsnip, thats what I thought since it is lucid just waited for your answer. :) [04:30] ok [04:31] urlin2u: not saying you're wrong, either. I'm seeing some pages saying that the default *is* orca. I was just comparing it against screenshots - but they might have changed the look. [04:31] but what is python function? [04:31] zulfan: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/filename.iso /media/iso [04:31] IsmAvatar, check ActionParsnip's post. [04:31] zulfan: python is a great programming language [04:31] ActionParsnip: not sure if that's gonna work, because I thought gdm was replaced by lightdm [04:31] IsmAvatar: not in Lucid afaik [04:32] shoot, what version am I running, lol [04:32] ok actionparsnip [04:32] how to fix python-central? [04:33] Im going to try something Im out [04:33] is this dragons den? === kish_ is now known as kish [04:34] IsmAvatar: "lsb_release -a" in a terminal will show your ubuntu version info [04:34] ActionParsnip, urlin2u: I'm sorry, I didn't mean 10.04. That was stupid of me. I'm using 11.10. (thanks zykotick9) [04:35] IsmAvatar: big difference dude :) [04:35] quakersmakes me laugh [04:35] yeah, I know [04:35] sometimes I think the year is still 1998, too. [04:35] :-p [04:35] IsmAvatar, dconf is accesed with advanced settings [04:36] in the dash [04:36] IsmAvatar: look for similar config in dconf-editor is all I can suggest [04:36] urlin2u: nothing named "adva..." in the dash [04:36] IsmAvatar: install dconf-editor [04:36] IsmAvatar, I'm wrong there ia better just shut up. :) [04:37] I [04:37] poop [04:39] nobody got the dragons den joke, or did it just suck... [04:40] So I have loss the search in unity dash 11.10 and the alt-f2 function yipee any fixes. [04:40] alt-f2 search that is [04:40] not familiar with that, sorry. Anyways, not seeing any kind of /desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_keyboard_enabled or anything for lightdm. [04:41] zulfan, i'd file a bug against the package, that seems to suggest there's an error in its config scripts [04:41] unless actionparsnip has already helped you deal with it [04:41] I see a /desktop/gnome, but all it's got inside is crypto and remote-access. There's also an org/gnome/desktop/applications, but it's only got office and terminal [04:41] use another software [04:42] Can anyone please help me with this, because I'm stuck and can't seem to find any info on this on google.. or not using right keywords [04:42] but when iḿ try to reinstalling python-central always show error msg [04:42] i missed the joke [04:43] i was having trouble with the "black screen at boot" issue, but i managed to get to desktop and remove fglrx and xorg entirely. but now when i reboot the screen freezes! can anybody please help? may it be because the xorg.conf file is still there? [04:43] IsmAvatar: its not in lightdm, its in dconf-editor [04:43] IsmAvatar: sniff around in the settings, you may find something [04:43] ActionParsnip: yeah, I'm in dconf-editor [04:44] I found an /apps/onboard [04:44] its not in lightdm, its in dconf-editor.. sniff around in the settings, you may find something [04:44] anyone delt with sshd + chroot? [04:44] hola. [04:44] EvilResistance : http://paste.ubuntu.com/834807/ [04:45] how can i force all sound through my bluetooth headset in oneiric? [04:45] i have 5 broken virus infested comps at my exgfs house [04:45] zulfan, as i said, file a bug against the package, as it seems the package has some configuration issues. i'm not entirely sure how to fix your issue, unfortunately [04:45] zerothis - depends on your audio stack, with pulseaudio you could define all your other devices as null or something [04:46] how does one activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ? [04:46] ayone here had experienced "frozen screen at startup" issue? [04:46] .. buhman there is theory behind psilocybin too, also, there were updates to vlc lately which included changes I proposed, but I've studied French, German and Spanish yet?.. [04:46] oh i see i didnt see what the issue about python should i remove that [04:46] does anyone know if firefox 11 is full production or beta for ubuntu/linux? [04:46] 11? [04:46] yeah 11 [04:46] zerothis: set the bluetooth device as the default sound device in sound prefs [04:47] bobenhaus: FF11 is beta for Ubuntu Linux. [04:47] ahh ok. [04:47] i have the nightly [04:47] they changed their release protocol because they felt inept having firefox 4 [04:47] emillime: do you know the repo for ff11 nightly? [04:47] wait one [04:47] bobenhaus: if you are running 64 bit, do not use FF11 as it will crash alot. [04:47] vindav: I'm using 32x [04:48] vindav: i thought that was a 'feature' in firefox all versions. hahahahha [04:48] kopilo: i am using puselaudio, not sure how to null as you suggest [04:48] !firefox 11 [04:48] 1firefox11 [04:48] http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu [04:48] thanks [04:48] bobenhaus: What O/S are you using on your 32 bit system where you want to or are running FF11 ? [04:48] !firefox | bobenhaus [04:48] bobenhaus: firefox is the default web browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion | To install plugins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins [04:48] zerothis are you using pavucontrols? [04:49] vindav: ubuntu32 11.10 [04:49] can someone here support me on the frozen screen issue? [04:49] ikonia: How does one activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ? [04:49] ive only used it twice [04:49] Mavrick95: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 can you use CLI there? [04:49] ActionParsnip: is there a command line to launch that? [04:49] emillime: thanks [04:49] np [04:49] zerothis: launch what? [04:49] irc protocol only handles so much stuff.. [04:49] bobenhaus: I know this that FF10 works great in Ubuntu 11.10 [04:49] yea 10 [04:50] is all you need [04:50] 11 i havent used much [04:50] chromium daily build ftw :) [04:50] fast enough and has what i need [04:50] bobenhaus: also, FF11 works great in a 32bit platform as well [04:50] moment [04:50] would you suggest chrome over ff [04:51] Ive never tried chrome [04:51] chromium, not chrome [04:51] pavucontrol shows only single device, not my headset [04:52] it would be easy for me to die from a seizure or heart attack on a small amount of cocaine or methamphetamine [04:52] bobenhaus: Do you have sound working for your audio applications in Ubuntu 11.10 ? [04:52] hmm a restart of ldm fixed the missing dash search [04:52] ActionParsnip: launch prefs [04:52] thx for help me [04:52] gtg [04:52] bye all [04:52] zerothis: for sound you mean? [04:52] zerothis then you are having the same issues I am having with bluetooth sound :( [04:53] sorry don't know how to fix yet [04:53] in a sick way made me perogies they are good.. [04:53] no chrome [04:53] ActionParsnip: hi there...we were speaking last night. Would you know how one does activate the sound in Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity) when it's not muted, the volume is up, and Rhythmbox is effectively playing mp3 tracks ? [04:53] hi, if i dl a tar.gz unpack it and then run a utility from the command line which can then delete itself but still leaves some dirs etc behind how can i remove them or is this normal? [04:53] vindav: are speaker on? [04:54] and kinda strange to "malloc"? 1024M to genarate an ssl certificate?. why oversell? O_o [04:54] ActionParsnip: yes [04:54] ActionParsnip: yes, i get to tty1 [04:54] vindav: yuppers [04:54] anyone know the ppa for ff11 ? [04:54] http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu [04:54] Mavrick95: ok then run: dmesg and read the last few lines [04:54] bobenhaus: was that a eureka moment ? [04:54] but i doesnt let me delete the xorg.conf (it says "directory or file not found") [04:54] bobenhaus: I know of it, yes [04:55] .. once opend, they have threatened me but shesaysi have to sleep i think my viruses are gone but my thing is smoking cannabis.. i guess i shouldnt do uppers.. [04:55] vindav: what do you mean? [04:55] bobenhaus: do you want it? [04:55] actionparsnip: Sure [04:55] bobenhaus: what does yuppers mean ? [04:55] gnomes could crawl inside her.. [04:55] blacks probobly drink the lemonadeand eat the rich and famous?.. [04:55] vindav: Yes I have sound with my ubuntu 32x :) [04:55] bootris, do you have a support question? [04:55] ActionParsnip: here's what I'm seeing in deconf-editor: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9975312/dconf-editor.png [04:56] it.. and smoked through a shit about ui tho.. [04:56] bobenhaus: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Download-Firefox-10-Alpha-for-Ubuntu-11-10-235054.shtml [04:56] bobenhaus: how did you get sound to work for you in Ubuntu 11.10 ? [04:56] thanks [04:56] closest thing seems to be /apps/onboard, which has a lot of settings, but not really seeing any for enable-at-login [04:56] IsmAvatar: ok, look elsewhere [04:56] vindav: installation detected and found my hardware without any problems [04:56] for kids or mixing with vodka it gnomie to sessi it up.. and fall.. [04:56] hi guys, literally just finished a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 but my resolution is unbelievably low, I only have two options: 1024x768 and 800x600 please help [04:56] don't care which way they could use to try my sex drive has always been nice to me.. ty..

[04:57] acionparnsip: thanks [04:57] bobenhaus: we'll, I only got sound when I log in. [04:57] Vindav: I get sound when logging in and also playing music, etc... [04:58] bobenhaus: what is your audio output set at in terms of hard ware ? [04:58] think i have a graphics problem only two resolutions available on a fresh install, can anyone help? [04:58] let me check [04:58] pangolin, thanks [04:58] idea: is it my bt set even working, how can i test? [04:58] ActionParsnip: the last line reads "[ 18.70183] init: plymouth stop pre-start process (357) terminated with status 1" [04:59] Mavrick95: ok have a see what that means [04:59] ActionParsnip: another line reads "kvm disabled in BIOS". is this relevant? [04:59] couuld someone tell me why i cant click on adobe flash player setting in my browser? [04:59] Mavrick95: you may also want to run: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:00] vindav: hardware is set to audio stereo duplex [05:00] output is set to analog output [05:00] thats about it [05:01] if i had a folder, or folder tree of videos and wanted to watch a random one, what would be a nice simple way to do that with vlc? [05:01] Anyone who know the friefox crash log path? my firefox always crash........damn it. [05:01] zune [05:01] dicannamas: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' thanks [05:02] brianwang: same with a fresh user (or profile if you rename ~/.mozilla/firefox) same deal [05:02] ActionParsnip: fyi, this issue is happening after i removed completely trhough synaptic the fglrx and xorg-amd-ati, but i failed to delete the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file. I am suspicious that this is the main problem, ubuntu trying to load the xorg configuration, but it actually does not have the fglrx drivers because i removed them! what do you think? [05:02] Mavrick95: I see, the Xorg.0.log file will show you what happened when the X server was created [05:03] ActionParsnip, thank you. I will try. [05:05] if i had a folder, or folder tree of videos and wanted to watch a random one, what would be a nice simple way to do that with vlc? [05:06] Hi all. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64bit and am trying to get dtmfdial working. I point it at /dev/dsp1 and get "device busy" error. How can I make this play nice with pulseaudio? [05:07] bobenhaus: Thank you for telling me what you have set for your self in terms of the output sound settings. I set mine for that and I get sound now. Ubuntu 11.10 must have the the external sound jack unplugged compared with say Ubuntu 10.04 LTS where you don't need to. === mega73 is now known as mega72 [05:09] ActionParsnip: thank you very much. now i can see in the log file lines that read "failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)" and "fatal server error: no screen found". [05:10] vindav: no problema. [05:10] Hello everyone, have problem with virtualbox and spent already 2 days solving it withourt resolution... [05:10] Mikee73, elaboration helps :P [05:10] anyone know how to refresh all the default ppa's for the software center? [05:11] bobenhaus, apt-get update [05:11] in terminal [05:11] or just the 'update' button in software center... but since i dont use software center... :P [05:11] evil: will that put back any deleted ones as well? [05:11] Hey, server nuts, postfix issue: SASLAUTHD isn't working properly, log: http://pastie.org/private/wxmkz9yekiaryw5lpzzqqw [05:11] After enabling 3D suppoort in virtualbox and installing gues addons, my 3D performance actually drops down in Ubuntu 10... [05:13] bobenhaus, if you deleted ppas, they're likely not in your apt sources anymore, so you might have to readd them [05:13] but if I go to software rasterizer, it goes up.... Not sure how to explain that... I m using power hungry video app and really need HARDWARE 3d rendering... [05:13] evil: ok thanks [05:15] ActionParsnip: do you agree that if i can get to remove the xorg.conf file i will be all right? [05:15] the thing is that the teremninal doesnt let me... [05:16] Mavrick95: "cd /etc/X11" then "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.disabled" [05:17] bobenhaus: just want to point out that "default ppa's" doesn't make sense, PPAs are 3rd party repositories that you add to ubuntu [05:18] Mikee73: vbox doesn't have any hardware acceleration, the 3d is software (you don't get direct hardware access from a VM) [05:18] Mikee73: prior to enabling 3d in the VM, you where using 2d, which can be faster for some things [05:18] hello [05:19] hi [05:19] are you sure? I though that I could still get access to real hardaware 3d, even in virtual box... [05:20] Mikee73: not in VBox, you're using a vbox video driver, not the actual cards video driver [05:20] if you're right that maybe this explains my problem. Hwever: if I run glxinfo, I see "chropmium" as the video card rasterizer rather than software [05:20] Mikee73: you can't use ATI/Nvidia/anyother driver inside Vbox [05:21] Mavrick95: as long as udev doen't try to load the module [05:21] Mavrick95: you could blacklist the module too [05:21] anyone know the official release date of ubuntu 12.04 [05:21] MartyMacFly: i could tell you the year and month :p [05:22] I see. But I still have two options" use Chromium rendering or software rasterizer. Wouldnt it make more sense that Chromium (i.e. hardware ?) would be fatsre than software rasterizer?? But I get only 60 (!) FPS with Chromium and 350 FPS with software rasterizer.. Strange// [05:22] LOL... I think it's some time in april..? [05:22] Mikee73: I suggest you use something like LXDE or XFCE in virtualbox, it will make the virtual system impact less on the host [05:22] Mikee73: 3d has a lot more overhead when your software emulating it [05:22] ActionParsnip: I actually dont see much load on my host... [05:24] zykotick9: so you suggest I should stay with software rasterizer rather than trying to tamper with Chromium? [05:24] Mikee73: not if you need 3d [05:25] Mikee73: what is the purpose of the VM? [05:25] zykotick9: yes, I need 3d but with "hardware" 3d (i.e. chroimium, even though I have Nviida) i get lower FPS rate than with software rasterizer [05:25] Mikee73: 3d is NOT hardware! [05:27] Mikee73: what is the purpose of the VM? [05:27] hello [05:27] zykotick9: I see, didnt know that... So the bottom line is: what is the optimum setting for my Ubuntu... Now I have software rasterization and get 350 FPS [05:27] ImTheDude: hi [05:27] can anyone help me with grub rescue error [05:27] Anthony: I'd suggest booting to liveCD, chroot and fix there [05:28] anthony you tryed a duel install of ubuntu [05:28] Mikee73: software will probably going to be faster then the "software emulated 3d" [05:28] is* [05:28] ActionParsnip: I have Win7 with a lot of stuff and need to run sophisticated imaging software that runs under linux. Cannot afford partition or new comp... [05:28] i dont have windows installed [05:28] chroot is name of live cd [05:29] Anthony: chroot is a command on the ubuntu livecd [05:29] Mikee73: i'm guessing its 3D software [05:30] i jsut type it in the cmd box or in the erro propmt [05:30] Anthony: its not a case of just typing the command [05:30] !grub2 | Anthony [05:30] Anthony: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [05:30] then can you tell me how to do it pleasdwe [05:30] ActionParsnip: it runs faster when using 3d, if I have it disabled it gives me "OpenGL error: no pincher..." and runs slower [05:30] Anthony: I suggest you research, rather than try and guess. You will be less likely to do more damage [05:31] ActionParsnip: Im not sure Im using right terms, maybe I'm confusing 3D with OpenGL [05:32] Mikee73: I'd say maybe, try it is all I can say (if you haven't already) [05:32] whaty do i look up [05:32] Mikee73: you do realise that ubuntu uses very little drive space [05:33] hii [05:33] Anthony: I'll find it for you. It will be less frustrating for everyone. Websearching: ubuntu chroot is clearly a challenge === amit is now known as Guest69288 [05:33] ActionParsnip: yes, so you sugggest installing a partition ? But then I will not be able to simultaneously run Ubuntu and Windows [05:33] Anthony: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ [05:34] Mikee73: a dual boot will give the resources you are running windows with, to ubuntu as well as native hardware access [05:34] I cant open some apps from dash after I install unity 5 in Ubuntu 11.10.. using ppa:unity-team/staging [05:34] Guest69288: contact the ppa maintainer [05:36] ActionParsnip, I removed the ppa using ppa-purge... still not working [05:37] Guest69288: then I suggest you run: unity --reset to get default settings [05:37] Guest69288: you may want to reinstall unity to make sure you are using the official package and its configs [05:38] What is a good IRC client for ubuntu? [05:38] joallard_: irssi, pidgin, empathy, xchat, weechat, kopete [05:38] joallard_: all are great [05:38] ActionParsnip, what's "the best" [05:38] !best | joallard_ [05:38] joallard_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:39] I'm using xchat right now, but it's pretty buggy [05:39] Hence the quotes [05:39] allright guys, going to sleep, thx [05:39] joallard_: ask 50 people, get 50 different answers, it's a useless question [05:39] joallard_: there is no single best app for anything [05:39] Let me reask that [05:39] joallard_: its like asking "What is the best colour?" [05:40] I don't think so [05:40] I am experiencing frustration right now [05:40] joallard_: it is, because none are best. ALl you will get are people's opinions [05:41] ubottu, that kind of moral relativism will not stand! [05:41] graft: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:41] Some are better for some people, right? [05:41] ubottu: with opinions like that, you're not [05:41] graft: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:41] joallard_: if one app was best above all others then nobody would use anything else would they [05:41] joallard_: the other apps would die out [05:41] People could be "wrong" [05:41] ActionParsnip: what is this, natural selection? [05:42] joallard_: all the irc clients are simulataneously the best and worst at the same time [05:42] Okay, pass. [05:42] How do I debug xchat? [05:42] what's the bug? [05:42] joallard_: try it, if you like it, use it. If not, try another until you find something you like [05:42] Segmentation fault [05:42] Crash [05:42] that's a pretty bad one... from the repository? [05:43] Yes. [05:43] well, (1) use something else, or (2) see if you can find a different version of xchat [05:43] joallard_: you are using an OS which triumphs on freedom and choice, yet you seem to want a room of complete strangers to TELL you what to think and use? smells like microsoft to me.. [05:43] I'm used to seeing *a lot* of bugs in my ubuntu experience. *frustration* [05:43] ActionParsnip: you remember how I was having that problem with transmission crashing everything? i tried that on another computer, and it worked fine. [05:43] " Okay, pass." [05:44] superdave321: that will have different config to the one you are on now, and maybe a different version of the app. Hence why I recommended makeing a new user [05:44] ActionParsnip: do you think that blacklisting the xorg file might work? [05:44] joallard_: I use irssi and pidgin [05:44] joallard_: try pidgin or irssi, they're both great [05:44] Thank you, but how do I debug xchat? [05:44] Mavrick95: you'd blacklist the frglrx module so it won't be loaded [05:44] joallard_: maybe you can run it through gdb, but if it's just seg faulting i would try compiling it yourself or downloading a different version of it [05:45] ActionParsnip: so how can I get this one working? I'd rather keep it to one user... [05:45] I don't have the debugging symbols for it. How do I get them? [05:45] joallard_: you build it yourself [05:45] The symbols will automatically be there? [05:45] joallard_: if you include them when you build it, yes [05:46] Then how do I do that? [05:46] joallard_: why do you want to go to this much trouble to fix xchat? [05:46] joallard_: wouldn't it be easier to use irssi or pidgin? [05:46] superdave321: its just to test, thats all [05:46] That's until I find another bug in another program [05:46] Bugs ought to be fixed [05:47] joallard_: war ought not to happen [05:47] hi [05:47] There is an outrageous number of bugs in ubuntu [05:47] ActionParsnip: Ahh. ok. so where should I start for troubleshooting the problem setting(s)? [05:47] joallard_: ubuntu is not about stability [05:47] ActionParsnip: so we shall encourage it and not try to stop it, right? [05:47] joallard_: same as in windows, as the song goes "every OS sucks" [05:47] joallard_: indeed and there are bug fixes and so forth solving them [05:47] cant seem to get xrandr to work with .xsessionrc.. it looks like it calls, but reverts once desktop fully loaded -- (the xrandr command works manually in xterm). Any geniuses? [05:48] joallard_: which distribution are you using? [05:48] Oneiric [05:48] joallard_: and what version of xchat? [05:48] 0.30 [05:48] ActionParsnip: but the fglrx is already removed from the system, does it matter if i black list it? [05:48] joallard_: where did you get xchat version 0.30? [05:48] !info xchat [05:48] ActionParsnip: well, I have not seen important bugs in Windows as the ones I have seen in Ubuntu [05:48] xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.8-3ubuntu8 (oneiric), package size 350 kB, installed size 928 kB [05:48] graft: already packaged from the repos [05:49] joallard_: no, the version in the repository is 2.8.8 [05:49] so what do i use instead of .xsessionrc << is this supported in oneiric ? [05:49] joallard_: exactly, the ubuntu ones are just more visible. That's all [05:49] Yo, if I do a Disk Encryption, I will still be able to access folders and what-not, yes? [05:49] joallard_: could try xchat-gnome [05:49] I meant xchat-gnome [05:49] joallard_: then try xchat [05:49] xchat seems to work just fine [05:50] ActionParsnip: Nope. For example, in ubuntu, sometimes unity/X will crash on suspend/resume. Never seen that kind of important bug in Windows. [05:50] joallard_: or maybe if you rename the xchat config folder, so a new one can be made, it will behave. Kill xchat off, first :) [05:50] any gurus ? [05:50] ActionParsnip: Even with the bug filed, nothing gets done [05:50] Yo, if I do a Disk Encryption, I will still be able to access folders and what-not, yes? [05:50] !repeat | Vexiant [05:50] Vexiant: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [05:50] joallard_: try uninstalling an application in safe mode in Windows vista [05:50] Vexiant, how do you plan to encrypt? yes from the running OS only. [05:50] ActionParsnip: Vista is not the latest version. 7 is. [05:50] joallard_: it can't be dnoe without some clever registry hacking [05:50] I have an ubuntu install on partition /dev/sdb2 that is finally configured just the way I want it. Is it possible to wholesale copy it over to /dev/sdc2? [05:50] What exactly is the point of it and what does it do? [05:51] Vexiant, and of course from rescue too.. but u may have to type commands and stuff [05:51] joallard_: its still supported an updates are made for it [05:51] ok, thanks [05:51] joallard_: if you call microsoft with an issue in Vista, they will support you [05:51] ActionParsnip: It's not that I don't like Ubuntu; I love the Linux mentality and everything. But damn the bugs are hard to stomach [05:51] Vexiant, or from a encrypted hd if you open it, your question is really lacking details. [05:51] Vexiant, if someone steals your computer, they won't be able to see what's on it [05:51] ActionParsnip: If you call Canonical with an issue in Oneiric, they won't [05:51] joallard_: try the config folder rename as I suggested [05:51] Hi, how do i install windows wireless adapter on 11.10? [05:52] joallard_: I'm simply stating that Windows has its share of stupid bugs [05:52] dddd: never heard of one of those, You sure its not just a regualt adapter..? [05:52] ActionParsnip: And I'm simply stating that they're not as annoying and as crippling as Ubuntu's [05:52] joallard_: remember blaster? [05:52] dddd, there is a wiki on usb wireless and ones known to work. [05:52] joallard_: and ALL the systems it nuked [05:52] And that I feel an awful lot of frustration because of them, in comparison to Windows [05:53] joallard_: have you done as I suggested yet? Renaming the xchat config folder after closing the app? [05:53] you mean ~/.config ? [05:53] the only thing i ever have a problem with on ubuntu is suspend/resume [05:53] networking stuff is way better [05:53] i have a dlink adapter [05:53] uhhh [05:54] !wireless > dddd [05:54] dddd, please see my private message [05:54] dddd: thats not a 'windows wireless adapter' then, is it [05:54] syddraf: there are many tools available. check out GParted Live, which already has these tools. [05:54] yes [05:54] !wifi [05:54] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:54] sandaili im sessier than bootris and your nasa fiance let me sleep in your parking lot [05:54] its for windows [05:54] ActionParsnip: is it ~/.xchat2 ? [05:55] rigved: You, sir, are awesome. Thank you. It takes me forever to configure Linux systems to my liking. I hate having to redo it. [05:55] whoops [05:55] joallard_: sounds sensible, yes. Kill the app, rename that (check in ~/.config too) then rerun [05:55] brb [05:55] dddd, it said for windows on the package right? [05:55] dddd: well, with a third party piece of hardware, most of the time other systems can use it one way or another... [05:56] how do i blacklist fglrx while in tty? [05:57] Mavrick95: echo "blacklist fglrx" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf > /dev/null [05:57] ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll try [05:57] ActionParsnip: if anything happens i come back [05:58] dddd: what is the model number of your hardware? [05:59] i have a dlink wua 2340 [06:00] dddd: how does it connect to the system? [06:00] usb [06:00] dddd: run: lsusb it will give an 8 character hex ID. You can use that to find guides [06:00] ActionParsnip: iev/null: file or directory not found. what do i do? [06:01] Mavrick95: /dev/null dude, read my command [06:01] do i have to install ndiswrapper? [06:01] Mavrick95: if you run: cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf do you see the line: blacklistfglrx [06:01] ActionParsnip: i am starting to be extremely disappointed at ubuntu OS, i am at the console but i can't do much [06:01] dddd: you may not need it [06:02] c/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [06:02] i'll try.. if anything happens i come back [06:02] ActionParsnip, dddd needs it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/D-Link_WUA-2340 [06:03] Mavrick95: what is in the blacklist file? [06:03] superdave321: yeah, a lot of dlink and netgear stuff does [06:03] ActionParsnip: no difference. [06:03] joallard: report a bug is all I can suggest [06:03] And now they are going to ask me for some more information [06:04] joallard: are you still trying to use xchat-gnome? if so, try the real xchat [06:04] Is there an easy way to test if rp_filter is working? [06:04] It's that or they're going to ignore me -- experience from ubuntu speaking [06:04] So now [06:04] How do I debug xchat-gnome [06:05] dddd: you will need ndiswrapper. Here's some instructions for easy installation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [06:05] I mean, how do I compile it with debug symbols [06:05] its for windows [06:05] ActionParsnip: i can see that it blacklisted a lot of drivers, but not the "fglrx". === gibbonweb_ is now known as gibbonweb [06:06] ActionParsnip: i think that if, from tty1, i could add a line "blacklist fglrx" to the end of that file i would be allright, but the program doesn't let me [06:07] dave, i followed the instructions a few days ago, but it gave errors when installing [06:08] ActionParsnip: do you know any applicable commands, or i will have to try to get to the desktop anyway to edit the file? [06:08] dddd: ahh. ok. Try these instructions then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/D-Link_WUA-2340 [06:08] rofl.. polish rap [06:08] dddd: also, use the whole username, or else I might not think it's for me... [06:09] Mavrick95: if its been a while, I'd start considering a clean install [06:09] Mavrick95: "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" should allow you to edit it from TTY [06:10] is this the ubuntu help channel? [06:10] itsadante: sure is! [06:10] superdave321: i will try to install again tomorrow. thanks [06:10] hi ubuntu folks :) could anyone help me on how to upgrade apache to 2.2.22 on ubuntu 10.4 server?

[07:20] howdy [07:20] brerrabbit, i recommend you to check for linux compatability for your particular model [07:20] a google search for example [07:20] it should be ok [07:21] sedeki: you mean the netbook or my homebuild tower [07:22] netbook... and the homebuild -- obviously something's wrong [07:22] is there someway to monitor bandwidth/file transfers via ssh [07:22] ha [07:22] big annoyance factor with a slow boot :-P [07:22] i find ubuntu makes it easy to hook up with the big butted hotties [07:22] heh [07:23] no but working at google does [07:23] or a million in the bank [07:23] !offtopic | sedeki panax3 [07:23] sedeki panax3: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[07:33] zykotick9: i was looking for some handy realtime logs monitor, so someone suggested me colortail [07:34] panax3: it tails txt for you in realtime, but in colours [07:35] lotuspsychje: multitail is similar to screen (in some ways) and supports monitoring multiple files obviously [07:35] slurm = perfect :) [07:35] might be pretty handy [07:36] may i suggest best desktop recorder ever too= kazam [07:36] yea kazam rocks [07:36] jayar: got latest version too?

Lucid, FF10, Flash 11 [07:42] i want to use NAS volume as root partition for me [07:43] UbuN2:i alredy have a wine on mint 8 and now want to try wine on ubuntu 9.04 [07:43] UbuN2, the place where video is suppose to play is a black area - thats the problem. Not able to play the video ! [07:43] solofight, which ubuntu u using [07:43] solofight: Are you sure you have the Adobe Flash installed? You can check that by opening a new tab, and entering: about:plugins [07:43] UbuN2, same happens when i try to watch the videos postedby my friends in facebook as well [07:43] UbuN2:i tried the sudo apt-get command but it goes on internet [07:44] i checked with windows and all is well [07:44] check i package manager c31r2g [07:44] in* [07:44] !9.04 | c31r2g [07:44] c31r2g: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu.

[07:45] zykotick9: Let's notr forget, this is a community help support channel. If you don't wish to help, you can ignore the question any time... [07:45] ubottu:my processor is celeron m and higher versions lag a bit [07:45] zykotick9: We are not affiliated by Canonical at any level [07:45] solofight, download the latest flash player [07:45] norbert79: i'm sorry, what? [07:45] lol [07:45] norbert79: using 9.04 is EOL, it's a bad idea. [07:46] UbuN2, ubuntu 11.10 [07:46] 64 bit or 32 bit [07:46] zykotick9: We were not asked about our opinion, but for our help :) [07:46] norbert79, e File: libgnashplugin.so [07:46] Version: [07:46] Shockwave Flash 10.1 r999. [07:46] solofight: It might be a good idea to install the latest, version 11. [07:46] 64 bit or 32 bit <== solofight [07:47] UbuN2: 32 bit, I am sure... Since version 10 had no 64 bit support yet, and I doubt he would have struggled [07:47] UbuN2:where can i get the list of commands to work on terminal while installing or updating a softtware [07:47] solofight, grab the latest flashplayer and extract it to /home//.mozzila/plugins [07:48] and restart browser [07:48] UbuN2:what is the default path after which downloaded items go [07:48] solofight: Ehm, void UbuN2's advise because of following reasons: The install path might conflict with current flash. Second: Canonical offers 'partners' repository, it's easier upgrading through there [07:49] huh norbert79 ? [07:49] ive been doing since ubuntu 5.10 [07:49] UbuN2: Why to do something manually for someone unexperienced, and might cause issues, if there is a 'clean' way [07:49] never had a problem ever [07:49] !wfm | UbuN2 [07:49] UbuN2: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [07:49] ok he can if he wants [07:49] norbert79, earlier i gave apt-get install flash* [07:49] UbuN2: Since his skills he might not understand right now everything [07:49] that wont do ?

[07:57] ActionParsnip: Korn Shell for geeks ;-) [07:58] true but I was into xtreegold in my dos days guess its just if you like it [07:58] norbert79: that IS old school. Dang [07:59] I use guake terminal + bash.

Im afraid to loose data :( [08:04] TimTim3456: whats the problem [08:05] TimTim3456: what about your backups..? [08:07] how long do you think it will take to see the first win8 3D oled 10" wacom-enabled 4G quad-core full HD tablet? [08:07] agu10^: buzzwords much? :/ [08:07] not really... they're features [08:07] Why win8? [08:08] because win8 will have all desktop apps too [08:08] so is my cloud-based dynamic redundancy storage buffer with automatic notifications [08:08] and I haven't seen many productive apps made specifically for tablets or mobiles [08:08] production is on desktop. [08:08] my window manager crashes almost every time i alt-tab. any idea what would be causing that? [08:08] agu10^: so will many Linux distros. Doesn't answer my question. [08:08] yet i want to produce in my tablet: blender, unity3d, visual studio, etc [08:09] ActionParsnip, i don't think so. Have you seen any linux distro actually planning for this? [08:09] alecbenzer, seems to restart compiz here. [08:10] alecbenzer: try disabling the current alt+tab plugin and use something else, like ring switcher [08:10] There's Android, ChromeOS... then there are some ubuntu hacks and stuff that will never see the light in the masses [08:10] man man [08:10] man info [08:10] agu10^: android [08:10] ActionParsnip, ? [08:10] android doesn't run any productive software from desktop [08:10] Android runs great on tablets [08:11] that's not the point. [08:11] agu10^: google docs for one... [08:11] besides I need windows for almost any production work I make. Linux is simply incompatible with most software [08:11] agu10^: then why are you in a channel for Ubuntu? [08:12] valid point is valid [08:12] because i use ubuntu ? [08:12] I'm not some stupid winfan [08:12] i don't think there are many windows fans... [08:12] agu10^: there is an email client built in for none gmail and a web brower can be used. Sounds like an office pc to me.. [08:12] ಠ_ಠ [08:13] i don't do office stuff [08:13] agu10^, yeah software designed for windows there are lots of linux equivalents though, free of virus, rootkits, malware, keyloggers..etc [08:13] LOL [08:13] urlin2u, linux equivalents are usually sub-par, with smaller community, or not mostly used among proffessionals [08:13] like Gimp vs Photoshop [08:13] ActionParsnip: um, where do you do that in 11.10's interface? [08:13] urlin2u: not free, just significantly less to the point of near zero :-) [08:14] I use GIMP, but I should be using photoshop :/ [08:14] agu10^: then contribute to them instead of complaining ^_^ [08:14] photoshop works fine in wine [08:14] alecbenzer: do what? [08:14] agu10^, hmm the large hadron colliider runs opensuse they seem to be professionals [08:14] shadowh511, it's not a one-man job, neither a community only job [08:14] urlin2u, note we're talking about production, kkthx [08:14] agu10^: work cannot be done without work being done [08:15] Morning. [08:15] ActionParsnip: disabling the alt-tab plugin/switching to a different one [08:15] production as in content creation: videogames, videos, graphics, etc [08:15] agu10^: go ask google or the US army what OS their PRODUCTION servers run [08:15] agu10^: linux is caught in a catch-22 in that regard [08:15] alecbenzer: ccsm [08:15] it cannot be populat for that stuff unless it is popular for that stuff [08:15] popular* [08:16] ActionParsnip, google doesn't produce videos with linux... probably with macs or windows [08:16] agu10^: you think pixar use windows? [08:16] ActionParsnip, their servers may run linux [08:16] agu10^, note your making broad generalizations. :) [08:16] google doesn't produce videos ... [08:16] methinks troll... [08:16] pixar uses different OSs... maya runs on 3 [08:17] Methinks misinformed ... [08:17] linux is very commonly used in render farms [08:17] is there any place I can find all this packages http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download precompiled for ubuntu? [08:17] much cheaper and easier to scale than windows [08:17] meerkats: it's on your system already [08:17] urlin2u, generalizing is majority [08:17] agu10^, pixar uses linux Debian for rendering [08:17] meerkats: methinks the alsa packages would do it [08:17] hey guys I'm talking about a tablet here [08:17] meerkats: never had to install it by hand though [08:17] who said renderfarms? lol [08:17] <-- [08:18] agu10^: no, you are talking about linux in general [08:18] but i don't know what they use for desktops [08:18] no [08:18] agu10^: you are overgeneralizing [08:18] look at my topic agian [08:18] a lot [08:18] agu10^, you make no sense, and would be laughed out of any critical thinking situation. [08:18] shadowh511, I dont have alsadrivers per http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f318695569d3d27d3b594f11b66e1440225f6f64 [08:18] urlin2u, not really, you don't make sense of easy stuff [08:19] !ot [08:19] #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! [08:19] Shall we switch back to support now? [08:19] agu10^, easy stuff is not critical informed thinking. [08:19] hey would anyone know how to dissable a touchpad in a thinkpad without dissabling the little red dot thing [08:19] I need help [08:19] urlin2u: let's take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:19] OpenSesame: what's the problem? [08:19] urlin2u, I'm talking about a tablet bro [08:19] OpenSesame, whats your issue [08:19] marnold: you mean the nipple mouse? [08:20] and you come up with: 'renderfarms and servers use linux' no shit [08:20] yes i use that [08:20] agu10^: you barely mentioned tablet [08:20] !ot | agu10^ [08:20] agu10^: #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! [08:20] Guys. Take it to offtopic. This is the support channel. You aren't discussing support issues. [08:20] I'm trying to install Ubuntu right now along Windows 7 with a disk. But it doesn't detect any operating systems [08:20] benit's the origin of the conversation [08:20] agu10^: this is support, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:20] OpenSesame: did you back up your data? [08:20] shadowh511, lol even less think going on there I have said all that needs to said. :) [08:20] ActionParsnip, it was designed for people who can't use touchpads [08:20] thinking [08:20] Well I don't need because I also just fresh installed W7 [08:21] OpenSesame: okay, good. [08:21] OpenSesame: are you on the livecd now? [08:21] OpenSesame, you leave a unallocated space for ubuntu? [08:21] I'm using another computer right now [08:21] Trying to dualboot on my laptop [08:21] marnold: if its connected to the same controller then you may be stuck [08:21] okay, can you get to a terminal on the laptop? [08:21] Well I partitioned my hard drive into two. 250 GB each. [08:22] So there is one that is not allocated at the moment [08:22] But still somehow Ubuntu doesn't detect any OS [08:22] okay, want me to walk you through manual paritioning? [08:22] Sure, anything that works [08:22] OpenSesame: did you install it already? [08:22] what i thought [08:22] OpenSesame,is it a raid or uefi set up? [08:22] OpenSesame: 250gb for ubuntu is a lot :-) [08:22] okay, please open the install app [08:23] how would i figure that out [08:23] in Windows? or restart with the live cd? [08:23] OpenSesame: on the live cd [08:23] Ok its loading and then [08:23] let me know when it's loaded [08:24] OpenSesame: and then you'll install ubuntu onto the empty 250GB partition [08:24] I can extract alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg.orig.tar.bz2 wherever I can, cant i? [08:24] Hi all! I have ubuntu 11.10 installed on desktop, can I use my cellphone as a webcam? Thanks a lot :) [08:25] marnold: if you run: lsmod you will see the loaded drivers. Anything that it isn't obvious what is, research it. You may have 2 mouse ones but i think its going to be the same module running both [08:25] kapz: what phone? [08:25] meerkats: yes, but that is not the solution to your problem, will likely make more problems for you if you continue that path [08:25] meerkats: sure. There is a handy ppa if you are not on oneiric [08:26] im in 11.10 oneiric [08:26] hey shadowh511, loaded now [08:26] marnold: there may be an option on the module to disable the pad. Or it may be in config of the OS [08:26] I have already seen latest stable alsa, by their site, is 1.0.25 released this year [08:26] would anyone here have any exp with jetway motherboards? [08:27] shadowh511: Its an samsun S android phone [08:27] *samsung S [08:27] meerkats: install unp then ru [08:27] however, my installation shows: Driver version: [08:27] Library version: 1.0.24.1 [08:27] Utilities version: 1.0.24.2 [08:27] Then run: unp alsa-driver.... etc [08:27] OpenSesame: okay, head to the partitoning screen where it says where you want to install ubuntu to [08:27] ActionParsnip, i was hoping there was an easy way [08:27] k give me a sec [08:27] kapz: I don't know of any way to do that D: [08:27] sudo apt-get unp? [08:28] there were HAL rules for hardy [08:28] meerkats: you missed the word install [08:28] but according to Dad they dontworknomoar [08:28] ActionParsnip, I have downloaded manually both 1.0.24 and 1.0.25, should I get rid of both? [08:28] extracted em to a dir named "Compiled" [08:29] meerkats: get 24, it matches the tools and utils [08:29] helloall! is it possible to change a theme in 12.04 alpha? i cannot stand buttons on the left side of a window. [08:29] Okay, I'm there, again it says "This computer currently has no detected operating systems. What would you like to do?" Then it gives me two options; 1) Erase disk and install Ubuntu 2) Something else - You can create or resize partitions yourself, or choose multiple partitions for Ubuntu. [08:30] !precise | mk0 [08:30] something else [08:30] mk0: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 - Blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [08:30] Okay, but somehow I see free space and its size is 500107MB [08:30] i know. i installed second alpha [08:31] ActionParsnip, Got rid of both extracted 1.0.25 and 1.0.24 Do I need to ONLY extract 1.0.24 or do the nmp thing you just told me to do? [08:31] OpenSesame: your disk is clean [08:31] which I dont think its correct because my HD is 500GB and I already partitioned into two 250GB [08:31] it will also be the second release without gnome2 [08:31] OpenSesame: there is nothing on the disk [08:31] well shouldn't there be? I have w7 on it.. [08:31] so i don't quite get it :( [08:32] well, it seems there is nothing on your disk somehow [08:32] luckly we has a good lxde variant [08:32] well what would you suggest? [08:32] OpenSesame: reinstalling windows [08:32] I actually tried that too lol [08:32] And I even partitioned during the installation [08:32] !seen ActionParsnip [08:32] I have no seen command [08:32] OpenSesame, you can boot windows right? [08:32] i think this is a sign from the powers that be [08:33] !package aufs [08:33] yes I can [08:33] I can boot it finely [08:33] O_O [08:33] voodoo disk [08:33] OpenSesame, okay then you likely have a raid set up that linux needs to have the right set up to read. [08:33] pretty annoyed by this.. [08:33] i dont get what the problem is [08:34] really? but I have never set my hard drive as Raid before.. [08:34] OpenSesame: you must have some strange hard drive set up [08:34] then if so what should i do [08:34] OpenSesame: nuke everything and install ubuntu first [08:34] then go off the livecd and shrink ubuntu [08:35] then install windows [08:35] Are there plans to switch thunderbird to the quick release cycle too, so that we have thunderbird 10, 11 etc on Lucid? Or that was only for firefox? [08:35] do duplicated source lists make synaptic run slower? [08:35] OpenSesame, go to the ubuntu forums and post there you will most likely get setup unless somebody here sees the situation that knows this stuff. [08:35] then reinstall ubuntu to ger grub back [08:35] or update manager? [08:35] I see [08:35] shadowh511: don't have to reinstall ubuntu to fix grub [08:35] shadowh511, can i just install ubuntu right now then? [08:35] OpenSesame: yup [08:35] Ben64: I find it the most reliable way [08:36] its silly [08:36] and then shrink it after installation? and then install W7 after and then reinstall ubuntu again? [08:36] shadowh511, you are out of your area of knowledge here. [08:36] OpenSesame: in the ubuntu installer, just use the manual partitioning and set ubuntu to use half the drive, would save the step of shrinking [08:36] Ben64 probably has a better way to do it [08:37] i was just suggesting the way I do ti [08:37] lol [08:37] i cant even install ubuntu [08:37] and it Works For Me (tm) [08:37] OpenSesame: why not? [08:37] OpenSesame: probably a hardware raid card [08:37] it pops a warning box saying No root file system. No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu. [08:37] yeah you need to make it [08:37] when I click Install Now to the free space [08:37] OpenSesame, ignore this help it is not informed. [08:38] ah i se eok [08:38] OpenSesame: what screen are you at right now [08:38] still pops that warning box.. [08:38] Heya guys, quick question: (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 - what does this mean and how do I fix it? :p [08:38] it just says No root file system is defined. [08:38] calamity_: you have to run it as root [08:39] calamity_: type in sudo !! [08:39] calamity_: what are you trying to do? [08:39] Ben64: looks like a http server to me [08:39] OpenSesame: you need to create the partitions on the drive, at minimum a root partition (/) and a swap partition [08:39] so click Add? [08:39] Ben64, basically localhost, etc no longer connect, which is weird because it was working fine a few days ago and nothing much has changed. [08:39] how do I open alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2? tar -xjf doesnt seem to work [08:40] calamity_: any port under 1024 can't be opened by a normal user [08:40] Ben64, if the disc does not read the windows partition then building a partition is not solid advice. [08:40] got it, and it now tells me that I have not selected any partitions for use as swap space. [08:40] OpenSesame: i'm not sure, I can't see what you're on [08:40] Ben64, okay, so I just used root, and it's already running, apparently. [08:40] should i just continue? or [08:40] urlin2u: he said he's fine with installing windows again afterwards [08:41] Ben64, but I am still getting no result when I try to connect to the page [08:41] OpenSesame, go to the ubuntu forums and post your problem. [08:41] calamity_: what program are you running for this [08:41] Ben64, that is a stupid idea. [08:41] urlin2u: why [08:41] slpshod at best [08:42] Tm_T, [08:42] Can you help me in here? [08:42] how do I open a .debian.tar.bz2? tar -xjf doesnt seem to work [08:42] Ben64, tink man it is obvious this can be done correctly, not in a slipshod way that serves what you think might work but probably wont. [08:42] think [08:42] urlin2u: it will work [08:43] Ben64, Apache2 [08:43] meerkats: then the package is wrong edian -- what does the tar -jxf say ? [08:43] meerkats: not wrong edian but wrong format [08:43] calamity_: you really shouldn't be running apache with sudo [08:43] meerkats, try bunzip2 instead [08:43] Ben64, glad you think so but it is advice that is not acceptable in this channel. [08:43] debian.tar.bz2? [08:44] i've not seen debuild create that, it always creates debian.tar.gz in my experience [08:44] maybe it's actually a gzip archive [08:44] check out what file says [08:45] susundberg, tar -xjf alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2 says nothing at all [08:45] OpenSesame: anyway, what screen are you on right now? [08:45] meerkats: do "file alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2" [08:45] does debedelta work in Ubuntu/ [08:45] !info debdelta [08:45] debdelta (source: debdelta): diff and patch utilities which work with Debian packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.43ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 94 kB, installed size 428 kB [08:46] Ben64, right, and I usually don't, but when I run it normally it gives me the error message as above [08:46] Ben64, file alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2 [08:46] alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k [08:46] dexter@dexter-M7X0SUN:~/Compiled$ [08:46] a bzip2 [08:47] calamity_: but you shouldn't be running it as your user either, it should be running as a special user for apache [08:47] can I use unp to extract that? [08:47] meerkats: then bunzip2 should extract it [08:47] meerkats: add -v so it shows the files it extracts [08:47] meerkats: my guess is that it unpacks them ok if it says nothing [08:48] meerkats: that is 'tar -v -xjf alsa-driv ... ' [08:50] susundberg, http://pastebin.com/s2aMZfMe [08:50] Ben64, fair enough [08:53] scarleo, will bzip2 alsa-driver_1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2.debian.tar.bz2 work? [08:53] meerkats: bzip2 is the compresser [08:53] meerkats: tar jxvf alsa-driver.... [08:54] meerkats: dunno what you're trying to do.. its already extracted [08:54] Or use unp :-) [08:56] [newb questions] Using Ubuntu Netbook Remix -- 1. How do I view the contents of my Thumb Drive // 2. Can I run Minecraft.exe on Ubuntu?

It just says "No supported browser found" for me [08:56] Ben64, scarleo I dont see it anywhere [08:56] Frig: minecraft uses java. There are tonnes of guides how to use [08:57] frig: 1. insert thumb drive into usb port; 2. no, but you can run the linux version of minecraft [08:57] meerkats: you pastebin'd the result of you extracting [08:57] frig: I run minecraft on Ubuntu 11.10, you download the java file from the website [08:57] Ben64 thanks [08:57] Minecraft client as well as setup a server if you want [08:57] meerkats, cd debian, your pastebin implies that it has already extracted it to folder debian [08:57] well, I also can't get my wireless interent working... [08:57] or wired... [08:58] nothing shows up in the drop-down menu [08:58] Frig: which wireless chip does it use? [08:59] fine, I wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh again, and the driver line still lists nothing... what else do I need to do? [08:59] Frig: What is the product line for the wifi in the output of: sudo lshw -C network [08:59] hello [09:00] sorry, looking for that info [09:00] its an Acer Apsireone D255E [09:00] this is the only link I had off hand, no details on the card http://www.specsbox.com/448/acer-aspire-one-d255e.html [09:01] intel chipset popped up, but not sure if it is referring to the wireless as well [09:01] frig: The link for Minecraft is at http://www.minecraft.net/download (It may only show the windows version until you click "Show all platforms") [09:01] Frig: press CTRL+Alt+T and run the command. Type you password (you will get no feedback) then wait [09:01] thanks Djones [09:03] im sudo apt-get update [09:03] sudo apt-get install --reinstall ALSA [09:03] sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio [09:03] ActionParsnip im new at this, I think I am doing something wrong [09:03] Djones: seems to happen a lot. Maybe Windows users need what they want to slap them in the face but Linux is confined to "other OS". Sad times [09:04] ActionParsnip: I'm on windows at the minute, so I was just assuming the website had detected that and gave the obvious option [09:04] Frig: press the keys I said and a terminal runs. Type the command then your password. [09:05] ActionParsnip ok whihch info am I looking for in here [09:05] DJones: skype does it too. [09:05] meerkats: what are you trying to accomplish?

[09:07] meerkats: so it did extract them to directory 'debian' relative to your workind directory .. [09:07] the other bit says product: BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY /// vendor: Broadcom Corporation [09:07] meerkats: that would be ~/Compiled/debian [09:07] Frig: you can use the atheros chip name to find guides online to make it work [09:07] meerkats: have you tried "sudo apt-get install alsa-base" [09:07] both read * Network Unclaimed [09:07] Hi guys, someone broke the kernel! USB3.0 not working anymore! [09:08] and yes, i also think installing via package manager is better way if you cannot point out a bug in the alsa that has not been fixed in the package available via package manager .. [09:08] will Google, thanks [09:08] Ben64, no [09:08] Frig: there are packages on the install cd to make the wifi go. All on that page ubottu gave [09:08] meerkats: you should, would be easier than compiling [09:09] excellent, thanks [09:09] oh but also, the USB drive -- it doesnt autorun or pop up or anything when I connect it [09:09] is there a place to view all the removable drives? [09:09] frig: "Computer" on the menu [09:10] Ben64, my synaptic: http://imagebin.org/198032 [09:12] meerkats: then looks like you have alsa installed [09:12] Ben64 the Netbook Remix interface is very strange... I cant seem to find any "Computer" [09:12] alsa base is already there, so is alsa 1.0.24 (they are the same) and other 1.0.24 plugins (none for 64 bits, thats not my arquitecture), so I dont understand why I dont see the 1.0.24 drivers activated [09:12] frig: what version of ubuntu do you have? I thought they stopped doing remix [09:13] 10.10 [09:13] maybe thats why its so shit :\ [09:13] redditors made me do it [09:13] frig: that version is only supported until April [09:14] well, im not opposed to starting over with a different version [09:14] frig: that might help [09:14] any suggestions for a netbook? [09:14] frig: how powerful is that netbook? [09:14] hello why does it take so long time with login on SSH to ubunu ? it takes like ages to get the password to come up [09:14] ben64, then I dont understand why I dont see any driver version in http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b2c0889ef98a8b77d27727285a0c11f52c9e04b3, if alsa is already installed...

[09:17] ahhh just run puppy [09:17] Ben64, 11.10 [09:17] frig: one uses gnome3 or that Unity thingy, Kubuntu uses KDE [09:17] i just need one that runs faster than windows 7 :\ [09:17] meerkats: pastebin "lspci" [09:17] frig: try them both! [09:18] understood [09:18] frig: you could install ubuntu, then install lubuntu on top and use lxde [09:18] thats probably what ill end up doing [09:18] Has anyone successfully imported browser data from to Chromium from Firefox? It just says "No supported browser found" for me [09:18] frig: lxde is very lightweight, so should be speedy [09:18] frig: or you could even put KDE along with Gnome and lxde [09:19] When I set my resolution to 1024x768, after rebooting it always reverts back to the highest resolution my monitor supports, something crazy like 1600x1200 [09:19] and try them all alongside [09:19] frig: you can change the GUI by just logging out, selecting another window manager from a menu and then log back in [09:20] greetings. how can i get a USB wireless adapter to connect to a network on startup on 11.10?

But that generates the list of installed packages only. As does dpkg --get-selections.

I followed that guide to the tee. However, there's no mention of how to generate the preseed file based on a prior installation.

I just can't get the options right :) [09:50] steven123: Hm, I'm not sure about that, sorry [09:50] this is what it says in the guide: $ debconf-get-selections --installer > file.

[10:24] somewhat random question, but is there anyway in ubuntu to apply a bass filter [increase bass] to my audio recordings that is not done post production? [10:24] JadedJacob: That would be correct. But 10.04 will expire sooner or later.

Can't you just keep applying security updates to it? [10:27] the for loop will not work [10:27] JadedJacob: Not forever. Every Ubuntu release has an expiration date, after which it's repositories will go offline [10:27] What about LTS? [10:27] having problems with my wifi connection, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, flaky [10:27] JadedJacob: LTS are supported longer, but still not forever [10:28] So in other words ubuntu is forcing us to use Unity, unless you use an alternative release like xubuntu,kubuntu,lubuntu ? [10:28] JadedJacob: Untrue. You can use classic gnome if you "apt-get install gnome-fallback" [10:28] JadedJacob: Or you can use gnome-shell [10:28] http://pastebin.com/txpQHqiL this is ma code [10:28] i hate unity [10:28] JadedJacob: You're free to choose [10:28] kalimojo, so do I [10:28] lol [10:29] lord-ivan, type /join ##c and ask the question there [10:29] What is the default file permission for /tmp [10:29] my code is here http://pastebin.com/txpQHqiL can any one help me [10:30] lord-ivan: Try ##c or #ubuntu-devel , we're not a programming channel [10:30] akpk: rwxrwxrwt [10:30] lord-ivan: And learn to indent your code, this ain't readable >.< [10:32] : thank U. [10:32] If I use gnome-fallback, which version of gnome will it install? [10:32] Hello,I installed Ubuntu through wubi and when i restarted my computer to boot it the computer showed the purple screen loading page and then after about 30 seconds the screen changed to a half purple color, half random colored lines then goes to a black glowing screen. I am running Window 7 premium. can anyone help me with this? [10:34] : how can i change it in terminal ?? [10:34] JadedJacob, Gnome3 with a Gnome 2 look. Without the extra effects. [10:34] OK.

It means that only the owner of a file can delete it even though the perms of the directory are 777. ls gives you a quirky view of permissions becase the sticky bit didn't exist in early unix file systems [10:42] stanley00 The while loop do i do while(;;) i do not know the condition to ues [10:43] lord-ivan: while(1) is equal to for(;;), but you should ask this question in #c, not here [10:44] : sudo chmod 1777 /tmp/ is that Okay ??

I am having a strange memory leak using du... [11:48] my question is, I have a 500go space that i want to be accessible by both ubuntu and windows 7 (data disc), is it ok to use it as a whole for this purpose and what type should i specify? [11:49] macelfresh: it's not really the best option to do that [11:50] ok [11:50] macelfresh: if your on about using it as a junk partition to be read in both windows and ubuntu, go with ntfs woks fine for me [11:50] macelfresh: the only really cross-compatible file system is fat32 or ntfs [11:50] macelfresh: ntfs has a closed file system and "works" with linux, but is not %100 stable, although it is "fine", fat32 is stable with both, but has limitations such as file size [11:50] if you use fat32, you wont beable to copy anything bigger than 4gb to it [11:51] ntfs gets really weird in linux if you start running out of space [11:51] ello [11:52] someone can help me with my ubuntu ? [11:52] ikonia, n3m35I5, ok so maybe i should set up a space for windows only, one for linux only and one common? [11:52] hi all [11:52] tbh i'd go with ntfs. works fine for me [11:52] but if your only going to copy small files (less than 4gb) go with fat32 [11:52] I make a mock-up for let users to choose want to have full screen with luncher or without it. where should i send it ?

[11:54] aizensama your network settings on the virtualbox need configuring by the sounds of it [11:54] ah [11:54] sorry didn't read the line with your internet... [11:54] hmm im not sure about that macelfresh, but i think its the file itself [11:54] i think that's the point where i am dumb :) [11:54] ok [11:54] n3m35i5, thanks for your input [11:54] aizensama, have you configured a network device for your guest virtual machine? which type is the network adapter?

[11:57] eutheria: claws [11:57] hi [11:58] hi [11:58] whats up? [11:58] you have to install some driver from virtualbox on windows 7. afaik the drivers aren't signed with a key, and windows 7 64bit doesn't allow you to install such drivers. check the device-manager from windows (i hope you know - i only know the words in german :D) if theres a network-device from virtualbo [11:58] thanks flintwingel [11:58] yep .. i have the driver from virtual box [11:58] see ya..

[12:07] bananenkampf-de: i can give you team viewer ... to look for yourself :) [12:07] aizensama: in vbox manager you need to set apater 1 to either bridged or NAT and make sure it uses the same network interface your host machine is using [12:07] Good morning everyone, I have a problem with xchat from ubuntu 10.10 I do not emit sounds while having enabled [12:07] my version is 2.8.8 [12:07] flintwingel: yep, the adapter on VB is set to internal network [12:08] ikonia, I have a last question, i have set up my partitions all right, but before i hit install now, there is this question. The question is in french so I'll translate it without being sure if it's the exact same in the english version of the ubuntu install. Anyway i need to specify where the boot programm should, aka on which partition. Which one should i choose? Thanks [12:08] doesn't that means it uses the network from my windows ? [12:08] should i set it to NAT ? [12:08] aizensama: "internal network" to vbox means "don't talk to anything other than other guests" [12:09] aizensama: either bridged (if you have a DHCP server on your network) or NAT [12:09] Hi I am about to buy a new scanner : Canon LiDE 110.

[12:40] ikonia: Ephiphany keeps crashing with Error 6 in libwebkit which is known bug. One person claims it is related to another known bug in libgcrypt11 and that downgrading to the natty version solves the problem. I want to try it. [12:41] What happened to the safe graphics mode?

[13:20] I want as much performance as possible :) [13:20] For watching flash videos :D [13:20] it's a 160GB drive [13:21] JadedJacob: you won#t see any difference between ext3/4 [13:21] k [13:23] JadedJacob: ext4 has some new filesystem options (large fs support, extents, multiblock allocation etc), but most of the time ext3 and ext4 perform the same. ext3 has more compatibility though (older, better tested)... I use ext3 myself, can't complain heh [13:23] I'm trying to use an ubuntu server as router, i configured bind and added a zone, when i use nslookup router.lan.slz.local it returns the right ip, when i hower try to ping router.lan.slz.local it says unknown host.

[13:27] instead of just recording and glc-play'ing it later [13:27] JadedJacob: I would also like to point out that not all bootloaders have ext4 support (old grub doesn't support ext4, and I think syslinux doesn't either) [13:27] i'm about to install lubuntu 11.10 [13:27] L [13:28] i have trying to use a player in myspace ( not compatible with flash ))) [13:29] is there a solution ???

No idea how though. [13:34] Guest85691: Or it could be Java. Dunno. [13:34] gui for nagios?

[13:39] jadedJacob, yes [13:39] morgajel_, are you sure it only shows one CPU? Remember the count starts at 0 [13:40] heh, yes, I'm sure.

[13:43] opensuse is what they were using, and it detects the kernel properly [13:43] I'll be DAMNED if I let them go back to that mess. [13:43] morgajel_: I've seen this issue once before, I'm just seeing if I have info on it [13:44] ikonia: danke, the googles have been of no use so far [13:44] hi all, figured out that I had to rename a file called banshee.db to get banshee running. I have a user profile from Oneiric. Then I removed Oneiric and installed Natty. Hence the error. Now how do I restore my library? [13:44] it was quite an obscure issue as I recall [13:44] ubuntu make my laptop very hot [13:45] it going to break it haha [13:45] debo, you might want to use 'top' to find out whether a process is using a lot of resources [13:46] debo: I find flash turns mine into a reactor [13:46] what's the best way to have an up to date ubuntu without unity? [13:46] install 11.04 [13:46] Are you having problems with your video card? You could install Unity 2D. [13:46] Adriannom, just install the latest Ubuntu and use something else, like Gnome 3, Xfce, KDE, you-name-it? [13:46] Adriannom: Install Xubuntu, Lubuntu or Kubuntu. [13:47] !nounity | Adriannom [13:47] 11.04 is much better than 11.10 from my point of view [13:47] Adriannom: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [13:47] ok i already tried with gnome fallback, but gnome-shell is gnome 3 is it? === niceguyj_ is now known as niceguyjames [13:47] Adriannom, yes it is [13:47] need help with samba, please... [13:48] cool, google has too much crap out there to find that simple suggestion, thanks [13:48] ikonia: if you recall any search terms I'll start googling for it [13:48] gnome 3 is even buggy than unity [13:48] morgajel_, can this be of any help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1084622 [13:48] debo: really? [13:48] debo: i just want 10.04 but with up to date packages tbh [13:48] yes [13:49] yea.. 10.04 was col. [13:49] cool*. [13:49] i like 11.04 which still has gnome 2 [13:49] gnome fallback isn't the same though [13:49] worth a try scarleo [13:50] debo, me too. I've downgraded to Natty keeping the same home folders. [13:50] hi all [13:50] morgajel_: I didn't google, I worked it out with the guy [13:50] hey all [13:50] I agree on the fallback comment. I use xfce now. Not a big Unity fan [13:51] i am trying to create a symbolic link to a directory on mnt [13:51] and it's failing [13:51] I burn data file with brasero... now dvd doesnt open [13:51] my CD/DVD disappear [13:51] :( [13:52] however, fallback is as good as i'll get to 10.04 up to date is it? [13:52] Adriannom: Correct. [13:52] I burn data file with brasero... now dvd doesnt open Put dvd in Driver my CD/DVD disappear. [13:52] I suggest an autoconfigured Xchat in Ubuntu by default, just like the one in Mint, so that all can get support easily...

[14:12] WoW! it works exactly as I wanted! kudos and thanks to you theadmin :) [14:12] * melvincv wonders why brasero is not replaced? [14:12] slipttees: uh. does it not? [14:12] melvincv: gnomebaker maybe [14:12] screenlets should be a part of standard IMHO. [14:12] gnomebaker, k3b, brasero, all pro apps [14:12] *standard install [14:12] brasero sucks!! [14:12] kd3 need kde libs [14:13] * melvincv burned a coaster with gnomebaker. [14:13] gnomebaker... not trust [14:13] slipttees: Try gnomebaker or xfburn... [14:13] slipttees: I just use genisoimage and cdrecord from command-line actually [14:13] brasero is quite a fine burning app actually [14:13] I use it quite frequently and have no issues [14:13] and what's the problem with ubuntu using kde libs? more and more qt is being baked into ubuntu to begin with. [14:14] it hardly makes a difference anymore except to overbearing gnome zealots [14:14] roasted: do not like kde [14:14] wah [14:14] * melvincv wonders why he should download 150MB to use a DVD burning app (k3b) [14:15] melvincv: due to the kde libs involved with k3b. [14:15] wodim problem? [14:15] is there a way to launch network manager from terminal? [14:16] how to force udev to mount disk as some user? ENV{ID_FS_UUID_ENC}=="6b04d72e-a2fd-474c-be71-e29c1dedef49", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},user=virhilo" seems to not work:/ [14:16] nwapplet i think [14:16] nw-applet [14:16] roasted, then why there isn't something comparable to k3b in Gnome??? If I could spend, I would do so on Nero Linux... I'm frustrated. [14:17] melvincv: why is it a big deal that you don't want to install k3b in gnome? it makes little/no sense to me why it would make a difference. [14:17] melvincv: xfburn works, brasero works... What's the problem with them? [14:17] melvincv: not to mention, there are countless other burning programs out there. [14:17] melvincv: someone owes me a blank dvd. :p [14:17] melvincv: in fact, if you want to know some honest truth, k3b was one of the apps that attracted me to ubuntu and showed me what kind of quality free an dopen source software can provide. [14:18] melvincv: since then, though, I just use brasero, because it's included, easy to use, and haven't had a single problem with it. [14:18] I'm having all sorts of problems getting ubuntu installed [14:18] roasted: get source kd3 export to gnome libs and G3b :p [14:18] what [14:19] roasted: make g3b burn. based on k3b with gnome libs [14:19] :p [14:19] * melvincv has burnt coasters with brasero and gnomebaker, no issue on Windows, yet to try k3b and XFburn. Maybe XFburn. [14:19] My last option is non-free software! [14:19] slipttees: why would I make another burning application when there are COUNTLESS awesome ones available RIGHT now? [14:19] melvincv: sorry I couldn't help you any further. Your frustration is confusing to me. [14:20] melvincv: as I said, countless great burning apps available. No reason whatsoever to be frustrated. [14:20] roasted: :-/ [14:20] roasted: help! [14:20] ok roasted, I feel better now.

[14:38] I am running Ubuntu in Vmplayer with my windows 7 machine. Everytime I lock my windows machine...Ubuntu timeout after 60 seconds...is anywhere how to fix this ?> [14:39] United7: I'd contact vmware on that one, sounds like a vmware bug [14:39] lmontrieux, The problem I get is unable to connect so it does not log anything. [14:39] United7: Try #vmware [14:39] traco, try apt-get clean, then apt-get update [14:39] then apt-get upgrade [14:40] Sorry.. it is vmware player [14:40] charnel, is apache running? [14:40] but the timeout box appears inside Ubuntu [14:40] United7: still a vmware product [14:40] Segmentation faultsts... 0% :( [14:40] Is there a way to set the unity bar to not autohide? [14:40] charnel, look at your error log, it should tell you what's wrong. Increase log verbosity if necessary [14:40] United7, doesnt sound like an ubuntu issue [14:40] I see [14:40] is possibol remove apt-get and reinstall it? [14:40] but, let me show you all the screenshot [14:41] traco: not really now [14:41] no [14:41] traco: why do you want to re-install it ? === one is now known as asd [14:41] traco: you can do it through a chroot enviornment but I wouldn't advise it [14:41] traco, can you ping www.google.com from that machine? [14:41] United7, it's probably something like Windows7 is suspending the vm when you lock it [14:42] ping is work [14:42] is there a way to browse the ubuntu software center in the terminal? [14:43] asd: apt-get, apt-cache... [14:43] thx [14:43] asd: aptitude is best for a pseudo-GUI [14:43] asd: You could install aptitude, it has a command line gui [14:43] this is the screenshot http://i41.tinypic.com/21n0fet.jpg [14:43] roasted: quite a coincidence "cdrdao" work and "wodim" not ... remember brasero with cdrdao, never had problems.

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [14:45] there's a cli version for ubuntu one? (i'm using ubuntu server) [14:45] Gateway`: define can't access [14:45] Gateway`: For access to phpmyadmin you could try another browser first [14:46] scarleo: ikonia: and now it's documented for prosperity: http://morgajel.net/2012/02/09/1184 [14:46] ikonia, I mean that I type the login and the password and it keeps ask me the same thing, it's like that it's wrong [14:46] United7, yep. I'd say that Windows 7 is telling the VM to shutdown. That is either a Windows 7 or VMWare player setting somewhere. As suggested earlier, either #vmware or #windows... Ubuntu is doing what it is told to do and behaving correctly [14:46] morgajel_: well done [14:46] Gateway`: ok, so it's most likley that the database isn't running [14:46] i see [14:46] however, when I access on command line using mysql -u root -p [14:46] will do [14:46] thank you [14:46] Gateway`: try starting the database or accessing it via the command line [14:46] thanks for your assistance guys. [14:46] United7, for what help it, was... you're welcome :) [14:46] ikonia, done via command line [14:46] Gateway`: and does it work ? [14:46] yes [14:47] ikonia, yes it does [14:47] Gateway`: ok, so the database is running and the account credentials are fine, so the problem is around phpmyadmin [14:47] Gateway`: make sure the session is not cached [14:47] Gateway`: look in the apache logs and the mysql logs to see what's going on [14:48] ? === niceguyj_ is now known as niceguyjames [14:49] Is it possible to configure my ssh client to not attempt certain authentication methods? (trying gssapi-with-mic & kerberos is slow & I want to skip those) [14:49] ikonia, all I can say is that many error messages apprear when I start the server, and these messages show something related to horde database === Mwa_ is now known as Mwa [14:50] Gateway`: thats not all you can say, actually look at the error messages, understand them, note them down, ask for help with them [14:50] Gateway`: how are we meant to help you if the best information you can give is "there are errors" [14:51] Is www.ubunut.com some kind of scam site? [14:51] anyone can recommend a good movie editor for Ubuntu ? [14:51] ikonia, mysql log tells that a mysql process already exists [14:51] Gateway`: that just means it's already running [14:51] Mwa: no idea, don't care [14:51] Mwa: not an ubuntu isssue [14:51] irc://irc.OpenJoke.org/B&M [14:51] ikonia, because I've already tried to restart it [14:51] Best way to share files/dirs between two linux machines?

[14:53] piece of shit version of firefox [14:53] erik32533: tone down the language [14:53] grazie mille [14:53] 10 aint stable [14:53] Mwa: That website is registered by Canonical [14:53] ikonia, there is no error message. I told " all what I can say... " because it happens when I start the server and it goes so quickly to note them down. Sorry for that [14:53] Gateway`: forget what happens when it starts [14:53] Gateway`: stop the database, - clear the log, restart it, [14:53] I have alsa base installed 1.0.24, but http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3847b3ada3e07bd8fa56e6b15aa98917b6467b31 says that there are no alsa drivers, how so? [14:54] Alesque [14:54] Gateway`: see what happens, look in the apache access and error log [14:54] i guess go back an reinstall ubuntu 11.10 [14:54] ikonia, ok [14:54] this time i wont install updates [14:54] erik32533: do you want help - or just to rant ?

[14:56] erik32533: i typically turn off auto-updating, and the update notifications [14:57] Okay, I need some serious help with rdiff-backup here. I'm using this program to backup files on my server, and now I need to restore an old directory, but I don't have the directory anymore, just the diffs inside the 'increments' folder. Is there some way I can restore the directory using only the directory inside of 'increments' ? [14:57] so after fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 [14:57] do u run any updates [14:57] erik32533: please pastebin your current /etc/apt/sources.list file [14:57] #ubuntu-it [14:58] how do i do that [14:58] Sorry if that didn't make any sense, basically what I mean is that the directory I want to backup is located inside of the folder 'increments', but every file inside of that directory is saved as a diff. I want to be able to restore the original files using the diffs, if that's possible. [14:58] erik32533: If you added a ppa for Firefox 10, the you might be able to purge it with ppa-purge: http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ppa+purge&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CEEQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webupd8.org%2F2010%2F08%2Fppa-purge-added-to-official-ubuntu-1010.html&ei=qt4zT8ClG9GYOpSajPoB&usg=AFQjCNFXdiwoaHltWMBo1s4WyGLxt6DdSA&sig2=66ethMiElQGGXoEC1ukTow [14:58] erik32533: well, i do... i run them right after installing... but you dont *need* to... if you are new to ubuntu, and want to take some time to get used to the packaging system, and how software is maintained in ubuntu [14:58] hello. How can I block incoming or outgoing torrent traffic?

[14:59] hrlp* [14:59] help* [14:59] no ppa added [15:00] erik32533: Did you build it?

[15:07] vooze: there is no need for that [15:07] erik32533: open the terminal and type "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" without the quotes.

[15:08] vooze: We all had to start once, cut him a brake [15:08] oops, break [15:08] vooze: not mocking his capabilities is how to do it, if you dont' want to help, don't, I'm about to back away from it, but don't call him [15:09] for some reason seems to be run every minute [15:09] christofer, what does linuxprinting.org say about your printer, check the database there [15:09] where's the time server set up? I need to change it, and I cannot find where [15:09] erik32533: infact, lets do this simple please type the following [15:10] erik32533: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo apt-get update | pastebinit" [15:10] erik32533: please type that exactly [15:10] it wont let me copy an paste the command [15:11] erik32533: CTRL + C [15:11] erik32533: type it then [15:11] in a search like using find or grep is there a command to remove certain file types from your search? [15:11] Is there a way to make Unity ALWAYS visible? I'm running 11.10 in a VM so doing the hot corner isn't easy since the screen is larger than the VM window (so it doesn't hold my cursor, I just continue right past the hot corner area) [15:11] erik32533: CTRL-SHIFT v in the terminal, or right click and then paste [15:12] bazhang: i cant find it in the /printers/ query :S however i have drivers for it, LBP5050 [15:12] roasted: you mean the launcher? [15:12] vooze: yes, my apologies [15:12] one sec i got error message [15:12] what is the best alternative for dropbox for ubuntu server? [15:13] roasted: install CCSM, (if its not now) now F2 + CCSM.. then open unity config [15:13] thank all of u for your help [15:13] someone235: owncloud? ...i thought you could run dropbox 'headless' or whatever though [15:13] someone235: ubuntu one is a lot like drop box [15:13] vooze: ah thats right. [15:13] vooze: I forgot that. I don't use this new fangled unity thing. but I'm not sure how well gnome shell would run in a VM so I figured I'd let unity stick around. :) [15:13] roasted, i can't use ubuntu one in server. it requires gnome :( [15:14] ill be back in hour [15:14] someone235: oh on SERVER. I apologize, I'm not sure :( [15:14] roasted: yeah, shell is a bit tricky in VM.. but MUCH better than unity (my openion ofcouse) [15:14] yall can type way faster than me [15:14] vooze: maybe I'll have to give it a shot then! [15:15] Alright, now I've waited far more than 3 minutes, so I suppose I'll have to ask again... I want to restore a directory using files left in the 'increments' folder, but I have no idea on how to do this. [15:15] vooze: I've heard gnome shell was going to drop the need for 3d support to run, but I wasn't sure if that was here *now* and what that meant for VM usage [15:15] roasted: after 2-3 days getting used to it, you cant live without it ;) [15:15] holstein, yes, but i want to choose any folder i want, and not just one folder [15:15] erik32533: Don't give up on Ubuntu because of this ;) it's worth the trouble [15:15] ^using rdiff-backup [15:15] ill get ubuntu reinsyalled [15:15] Hope you get a solution later [15:15] vooze: whats that, gnome shell? [15:15] roasted: I think that was fedora only :( [15:15] an never run a update [15:16] vooze: I'd be surprised if it would remain fedora only. To start as fedora only sounds like it'd jus be normal, since fedora always shoots sooner than others [15:16] erik32533: not running updates is a BAD idea [15:16] erik32533: bye then [15:16] I have alsa base installed 1.0.24, but http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3847b3ada3e07bd8fa56e6b15aa98917b6467b31 says that there are no alsa drivers, how so?

[15:17] *my brain hurts* [15:17] vooze: as much as that stings, with an LTS and aiming for 100% stability, I get it. I don't LIKE it, but I "get" it. [15:17] u said earlier firefox 10 cant be replace with 8 or 9 [15:17] elldekaa: thats not a bad way to start... i think its the PPA you seem to have half added though.. *all* issues are resovable, and it gets easier as you go along :) [15:17] roasted: well sure, but its the idea, I guess :d [15:17] how do i prevent the screen from going to sleep, given that i don't use kde/gnome? [15:17] elldekaa: sorry... that was meant for erik32533 [15:18] erik32533: I asked you for information - you've not given it, you cannot be helped until you do [15:18] holstein, owncloud is like dropbox? you can use it without having your own server? === lukas is now known as Guest66472 [15:18] yahoo spades crashes [15:18] roasted: well sure, but its just not for me then [15:18] Can anyone help me with NDISwrapper installation for BCM4313 on a Dell vostro 1550?

[15:19] vooze: no reason to fault that. some of us like dark beer, others like light beer. but we're all enjoying it. eh? [15:19] in a search like using find or grep is there a command to remove certain file types from your search? [15:19] Dunno how to blacklist and which ones. === tero_ is now known as tero [15:20] someone235: No, Owncloud requires you to have your own server [15:20] surely ubuntu has remote access [15:20] When trying to setup my LPB5050 printer in Ubuntu 11.04 via network, its found by the "printing" gui and I have the drivers, it says "idle- ready to print". But when I try to print nothing will print, still it says it was printed? The setup works fine from windows. What can be the problem? ;Sorry for reposting, but I really cant find a solution; [15:20] erik32533: no - that is not an option [15:20] i have my own server, but it is very slow. [15:20] why is that [15:20] erik32533: provide the information, or re-install, but either way, this needs to end [15:21] roasted: yeah ofcouse ;) another thing is bugs in shell (ubuntu only) with like filezilla.. reported 3 months ago, and nothing done yet.. i cant really wait 3 months for bug fixes [15:21] erik32533: There are people here that really want to help, but we can't actually do this for you. If you have trouble with the instructions, just go througt them with us step by step. [15:21] how do i prevent the screen from going to sleep, given that i don't use kde/gnome?

[15:21] erik32533: The last thing you want is to have some stranger access your machine remotely [15:21] but it opens in update manager [15:21] erik32533: last time I'll tell you [15:22] vooze: FTP to me is a lot like faxing these days. :P [15:22] roasted: yeah okay, its just when it "drag n' drop" [15:22] what are the last stabe alsa drivers modules?

[15:31] phong_: http://www.dotnetperls.com/7-zip-examples has the options [15:31] reCAPTCHA: if you know what driver the card is using (and assuming it's not the same for both) you could blacklist the driver [15:31] lmontrieux: I was joking. Yes, you can either deactive in the BIOS or simply at the OS level [15:31] reCAPTCHA, it's probably possible - and it will solve your problem instantly :) [15:31] does anyone else have this issue with moving windows [15:32] loganrun: What interface are you using?

[15:34] vooze: s/alot/a lot/ (my spelling is terrible, but the alot bugs even me) [15:34] loganrun: you can easily confirm if its unity or not.. you could install LXDE and test, or awesome... one of the light desktop managers... i would tend to think its 3d though with theh graphics card drivers... you could try unity2d [15:35] loganrun: best is a matter of opinion, i would just try a different one... [15:35] Guess erik32533 left... ikonia, hope it was ok for me to but in like that. [15:35] Hello :D [15:35] holstein, yeah o.k. what is the easiest way to swich my window mananger [15:35] holstein: i use awesome, but i'd never recommend it to anyone (it's the most difficult interface to configure I've ever used) [15:35] is there any good fps games ? [15:36] loganrun: i would logout, and from the login window, choose unity 2d, and test [15:36] anyone seen issues under unity where the "skin" for the filemanager is not loading properly? [15:36] holstein, is "test" the name of a window manager?

[15:37] zykotick9: i was actually thinking it would be simple, since it works out of the box, and requires little setup, and will likely not break anything.. as installing something like kubuntu-desktop would pull in a lot and change things drastically [15:37] Cojes, sudo su [15:37] loganrun: wrong! [15:38] reCAPTCHA, use lsmod to find which driver is loaded [15:38] loganrun: i was saying you should load unity-2d.. if its not installed, install that.. and test.. this will confirm if the issue is unity related or not [15:38] loganrum: is say: bill is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [15:38] I guess the driver name should somehow give a clue (never had a macbook) [15:38] holstein, got it thanks [15:38] reCAPTCHA, then you can add said driver to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [15:38] lmontrieux: what am I looking for here> [15:39] ?

[16:51] abdi : Nice Freudian slip :) [16:52] Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file? [16:52] What is included in the "Basic Ubuntu Server" package? === notroot is now known as ninwa [16:52] thanks [16:53] Can anyone help me with my problem? [16:53] whats up Steevca [16:53] MonkeyDust: you must not be connected to freenode.org... probably irc.ubuntu.com [16:53] I have just installed ubuntu 10.4.3 and i can't get the network to work.I have a ehernet connection and the icon on ubuntu is like i have wirelles.What can be the problem? === russf_ is now known as russf [16:54] hellooo there. [16:54] Chipzzz: ok, i did not know that is different [16:54] Steevca, what happens when you click on it [16:54] does it show wired/wirells connections [16:54] MonkeyDust: as I suggested earlier, change your ~/.irssi/config so that the port for ubuntu is 8001 and you'll be ok [16:55] It shows wired connection eth1 i thnik but when i click i loads,and loads and stop working. [16:55] There are also some names and under dissconected. [16:56] Steevca, is one auto eth1 [16:56] madmax_x Yes [16:56] Steevca, have you tried that (or any others in the disconnected [16:57] !list [16:57] 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 ». [16:57] I have just that one. [16:57] And when i click the icon starts to "move" and after a minute or two stops working. [16:57] any ideas on where to find -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--* fonts [16:58] And the small scren on the next popu out dissconected. [16:58] Steevca, right-click edit connections, edit the eth1 setting, make sure it is setup with automatic IP [16:58] ubuntu keeps changing my resolution when i restart, i'll try switching to proprietary drivers and see if it makes any difference. [16:58] Steevca, edit>ipv4 tab>automatic (DHCP) [16:59] http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/galactic-federation-of-light-permission-to-arrest-members-of-the-cabal-illuminati/ [16:59] madmax_x ok,one sec i have to rebote. [17:01] good day.. Is anyone here that can help me recognize a music player.. I have a creative mp3 that when usb plugged in, isn't recognized by the My Computer??? But it is "seen" because it is charging... [17:02] wondering: it may have some 'disk drive mode' in its menus. check dmesg output when you plug it in. [17:02] Is it a "drag and drop" player, or does it use specialized software like Windows Media Player or Itunes? [17:03] didn't need it with windows. wondering if I am missing something. sys is fully updated? [17:03] It could support both ways [17:03] could need some drivers that you somehow installed in windows also. but that would be a little odd. [17:04] Oer, installed oss4, now what? [17:04] Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file? Say I have a 300mb file, I copy it and free reports 600MB used as cache afterwards. :/ [17:04] meerkats, now you should be able to select oss4 [17:04] wondering: It's not necessarily "seen" if it's charging. A charging means it just found a power source. Which it always will. [17:05] got it.. thx all.. The mp3 was dead.. dont think it had enough juice to be recognized... NOW it is.. THx all for what you do.\ [17:05] wondering: Silly question, but is the mp3 player, plugged directly into the usb port, or is it plugged into a hub? [17:06] any ideas on where to find -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--* fonts [17:06] does anyone know of a app like knemo for ubuntu ?

[17:14] does anyone know how I can modify the menu entries in unity (I want to add a gksudo in front of one of the apps) [17:14] goathouse774: That doesn't make sense...

[17:16] blitz: if your ubuntu installation is brand-new you should do dpkg -l [17:17] it isnt [17:17] pangolin: I thought of that but there aren't any .desktop files on my desktop [17:18] pangolin: none in ~/ either :( [17:19] after applying updates in ubuntu [17:19] Chipzzz: .desktops files are hidden, I am assuming you are opening ~/Desktop with nautilus, hit ctr;-h to view the hidden files [17:19] Do I need to boot into rescue mode and run grub-update [17:19] ctrl+h [17:19] I mean, 'update-grub' [17:19] pangolin: I know, and I see other hidden files but no .desktop anywhere :( [17:20] how to find out what program created directory inside my ~/ [17:20] Chipzzz: :/ [17:20] i g uess i should start with: is it possible to local nfs mount a sshfs directory? === arges is now known as arges_ [17:21] nfs mount a sshfs?

[17:22] USb [17:22] *USB [17:22] Scarra3: you need to determine the chipset its using. thats more imporntant then the brand. [17:22] usb [17:23] Dr_willis: How do I determine that [17:23] Scarra3: run: lsusb and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides. [17:23] You may want to check the askubuntu.com site for that exact device. see if anyone else has messed with it. or check the forums. [17:23] Scarra3: most times, Netgear uses ndiswrapper (ndisgtk) plus the windows driver [17:23] How can I improve flash playback?

[17:26] JadedJacob: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:26] cloudgeek: "locate mysqld" [17:26] JadedJacob: read your output, then read what ubottu said. [17:26] hello!

[17:27] I've been askng this question for days looking for a straight answer. I compiled a package with a modified control file, Debian Wheezy's ZSNES 1.51 to function on Ubuntu without having to seek out an obscure update to ia32-libs. When I do install it, it does install, but debconf pops up at the last second (Not sure why there) and unlike other packages, this one doesn't want to provide the option to reinstall in case of install failure. [17:27] Chipzzz: write in bash [17:27] Can I fix this, and how? [17:27] cloudgeek: yes [17:27] rick_: what is an ora file? [17:27] It's kinda irrelevant, more for user-friendliness and experience consistency. [17:27] haha, I didn't realise I was talking to a bot. [17:28] cloudgeek: you'll probably find it in /etc or /usr/share [17:28] ubottu cheers for the url ;) [17:28] JadedJacob: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:28] madmax_x === jan is now known as Wesselaar [17:28] so yea [17:28] Chipzzz: under share yeah [17:28] How to install this font http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html [17:28] Steevca, ya [17:28] its a file generated by the my paint program in software center [17:28] !font | rymate1234 [17:28] rymate1234: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[17:30] rick_: same way as any other package.. [17:30] soft ware center??? [17:30] rick_: yes1 [17:30] Steevca, there is no dhcp werver on your lan [17:31] are you at work/school? [17:31] madmax_x i am at home. [17:31] is your house setup with mac filtering [17:32] madmax_X nope [17:33] how many different versions of flash player are there for linux? [17:33] how do I establich oss as the default sound architecture with the command line? alsamixer doesnt exist in my machine, but alsa-base is installed, gnomealsamixer is installed, but if open, it only shows a blank screen and if I try to use any function, it segfaults [17:33] are you doing anything weird like trying to connect your xbox via cat5 to share your wifi?

[17:34] cloudgeek: mysql -u root -p [17:34] Steevca, whats at the other end of your ethernet cable [17:34] !root [17:34] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [17:35] \me facepalm [17:35] madmax_x: soory then i skip grant table 1 [17:35] rick_, apt-cache policy imagemagick says it's in the repo for my 11.10 [17:35] yep i have a dsl modem [17:35] alsa force reload in the terminal will unmute, temporarily, the sound icon [17:36] cloudgeek: restart the machine, hold down the shift key while it's booting and get the grub menu... start ubuntu in rescue mode and you'll be able to reset it [17:36] Hi all [17:36] Steevca, http://bit.ly/z94tLb [17:36] i am using ubuntu 11.10 server but not able reset my password , i forget my password [17:36] cloudgeek: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html [17:36] Chipzzz: okay try to do same === Earl_ is now known as Guest11431 [17:36] cloudgeek, boot into single user mode [17:37] test [17:37] madmax_x Thanks [17:37] cloudgeek: There are two things, both of which this channel will frown upon you for doing, so I will PM instead.

[17:38] ActionParsnip: how should that help to reset mysql-passwords? [17:39] llutz: you will need the access to run the sql command [17:39] bigpresh: sounds like you might want to give Canonical a call [17:39] JokesOnYou77: ntop may help [17:39] JokesOnYou77: ifconfig should show you the bytes transferred and received; the counters can roll over though, I believe [17:40] hey what was the first version of Ubuntu that used grub2? [17:40] ActionParsnip: no [17:40] llutz: so users can run the sql password reset command/ === dduffey is now known as dduffey_afk [17:40] ok its installed now i cant find it to open it [17:40] <_monk_> it may [17:40] @ActionParsnip and bigpresh thank you both [17:41] Nach0z: 10.10 iirc [17:41] JokesOnYou77: np === dduffey_afk is now known as dduffey [17:41] 40GB for / (including home and everything) should be enough (knowing that I store all my media on other partitions) right? [17:41] pangolin: hm. 'cuz EasyBCD claims fedora16 is the first linux distro to use grub2. I'm FAIRLY sure ubuntu 10.10 came out before fedora 16. [17:42] rick_: run: convert inputfilename outputfilename chnage the file names as you need [17:42] I thought 9.10 was first to use grub2 (grub v1.99) [17:42] hello all, does "screenlets" work with openbox/lxde?

Say I have a 300mb file, I copy it and free reports 600MB used as cache afterwards. :/ [17:43] ActionParsnip: Hang on, if I try to install ntop it looks like it wants to install X, which I'm really not interested in doing, does ntop require a gui?

Though, He can't blame us if someone hijacks his system. :P [17:44] JokesOnYou77: vnstat may also be worth a look; it doesn't meet your requirement of just showing usage since boot, though [17:45] Oh hi cloudgeek. Hopemy answer was satisfactory. === siric is now known as sitic [17:45] ActionParsnip: my chipset is ralink rt73 [17:45] ActionParsnip: this is what it wants to install: http://paste.ubuntu.com/835490/ [17:45] tiox: yep [17:46] ActionParsnip: or rather, those are the new packages that will be installed [17:46] BTW what does sudo -i means [17:46] installing NTP package [17:46] the -i switch basically gives you root in terminal. [17:46] ActionParsnip did you mean type that in terminal [17:46] So insyead of user@node$, it becomes user@node# (# meaning root) [17:47] tiox: okay how it differ from sudo -s sudo -su [17:47] ActionParsnip: so not all of xorg, but I can't imagine why it wants the fonts and a total of 22.7 MB of disk space [17:47] JokesOnYou77: what is the size of the packages to install.. [17:47] JokesOnYou77: yikes [17:47] Not sure. But the Ubuntu documentation encourages using sudo for single commands.

The Ubuntu website says W520 is compatible with 10.10 (pre-installed only, with notes). [18:06] for example.. when i type: w... it sits.. than i have to hit like the spacebar key to see the results [18:06] Kerberos wants authorization and time stamp of tickets has to be correct, that is NTP [18:06] how come thunderbird launcher icon does not show selected like the other apps and also does not show in alt+tab [18:06] if I install the most recent version of Ubuntu - my battery life is shrunk to couple of hours [18:06] shall I install 10.10 [18:06] test [18:06] anyone know? === ubuntu is now known as sandy [18:06] hey guys, can one of you help me explain how to make a startup usb from terminal?

[18:09] Anyone know why when I copy a file into a tmpfs mounted directory, the RAM usage doubles or so from the size of the file? Say I have a 300mb file, I copy it and free reports 600MB used as cache afterwards. :/ [18:09] zykotick9, thanks -_- [18:09] Anyone ever use CUPS for printing? [18:10] esuave: I've never seen anything like that before. Have you by chance been playing with your environment variables? Has this ever worked? [18:10] anyone? [18:10] sun_devil, obviously we all do, cups is standard in linux. [18:10] Your right [18:11] Pici: yeah i know it is weird.. i havnt been playing with any variables.. ill dig deeper to see if i can find anything [18:11] esuave: Let me know if you figure it out. I'm curious now. [18:11] Pici: will do! [18:12] [Ubuntu 11.10] '@: ~$ sudo shutdown now; ... The system will be shut down now for maintenance purposes! ... * Asking all remaining processes to terminate [fail] ... 'The system is going down for maintenance NOW!' Actually the system does not shut down. Why can this 'sudo shutdown' not terminate all processes?

(ubuntu 11.10) [18:14] thunderbird does not get the focus with alt+tab (switching applications) [18:14] mivulf: use something like "gnome-terminal -e vim" [18:14] is this a bug? [18:15] CharminTheMoose, is the tmpfs ram-backed? Cache from reading the file from the original and then the ramfs backed tmpfs, perhaps? [18:15] zykotick9: 'man shutdown': "-h Requests that the system be either halted or powered off after it has been brought down, with the choice as to which left up to the system." <- What does here mean "to bring down"?

[18:17] esuave, is it that the display lags, or there really is no output? Is this in a gnome-terminal, x-term, or...? What happens if you attempt to copy-n-paste the output using the mouse to select over the text that ought to be there? [18:17] is this the official channel of ubuntu ? [18:17] kulhas: yes [18:18] bullgard4, is your question "why does it not power off", or "why are some processes still running and the shutdown never completes?" [18:18] zykotick9: so there are an unholy alliance between the pulse/gnome/ubuntu developers? haven't mentioned unity yet... [18:18] mbeierl: when i input a command for example: w, i hit enter.. and it moves to the next line.. than just sits there.. if i hit spacebar it processes the command and shows me the results of w [18:19] etheretic: it's NOT ubuntu specific, it's Gnome [18:19] zykotick: exactly "gnome-terminal -e vim"?

[18:19] mivulf: that's if you use gnome terminal of course [18:19] esuave, and input the command into...? What type of interface? gnome-terminal, xterm, tty (ctrl-alt-f1)? [18:19] Hello everyone. Is it off topic if I ask for recommendations on which tablet I should buy? Because I want to know which type is best at installing Ubuntu on (or at least the Kubuntu mobile one) [18:20] hi, how can i run a command in chroot mode without having to type the full path. (e.g. "chroot /chrt /bin/bash -c ls") [18:20] bullgard4, do you happen to have remote filesystems, such as NFS, mounted? [18:20] captainjamie: Google for 'HCL' and 'Ubuntu'. [18:20] mbeierl: "sudo mount IP:/Sharename /MOUNTPOINT" should autodetect for NFS [18:20] mbeierl: im using ubuntu server.. ssh'ed in how can i tell? [18:20] bullgard4, I've seen systems refuse to halt due to I/O locks in NFS, but that's been a while [18:21] bullgard4: Ok thanks [18:21] esuave, oh. you just told me. You are using ssh. What is the local computer running? [18:21] mbeierl: mac [18:21] mbeierl: There is no NFS installed on this computer. -- [18:22] esuave, could it be a problem with the mac ssh client setting somehow? [18:22] mbeierl: ok thanks lemme try restarting the client [18:22] mbeierl: '~$ mount' does not show any remote filesysrewm [18:23] mbeierl: '~$ mount' does not show any remote filesystem. [18:23] bullgard4, k. there should be a sysreq key combo that tells what programs are still running during the shutdown. Gimme a moment to look them up [18:25] bullgard4, there it is: "T". ctrl+alt+sysrq+t should list what program is still running, preventing the shutdown. q.v. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [18:25] can anyone correct me, or is the stock kernel compiled with sysrq support? I'm not on an ubuntu system at the moment. [18:26] mbeierl: it is [18:26] so why are ubuntu kernels so large? why isn't everything just a module? [18:27] hello [18:27] occupant: not really a question for this channel, my want to ask the kernel team. [18:27] s/my/might/ [18:27] lol [18:28] sorry, been a couple years since i've been here [18:28] pangolin, thanks! [18:29] mbeierl: I am using a Thinkpad T61. Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+T responds: "[timestamp] SysRq : Show State" with a _ prompt on the new line. Nothing more. How to proceed? [18:29] occupant: #ubuntu-kernel should be the proper place to ask [18:29] ah, thanks [18:29] occupant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam#Communications could be helpful to you also [18:30] occupant: Because Linus Torvalds wants it so. [18:30] bullgard4: that is not helpful. [18:30] compared to other distros, I mean [18:30] bullgard4, you did that combo during the shutdown, or at a tty? [18:31] Hey, if there's a package on ubuntu LTS that is outdated, is it safe to manually update the package? [18:31] occupant: yeah, #ubuntu-kernel can probably help you a lot more. [18:32] aestetix: define manually.. i'd rather find some PPA for that package [18:32] mbeierl: at a tty. The same virtual console where I issued the shutdown command before. [18:32] crizzy_: ok. What's the benefit of using LTS, then? [18:32] It seems like a lot of stuff is outdated, even on the latest version [18:32] aestetix: LTS aims for stability and packages do get security updates and major bug fixes. [18:32] Pici: it was the terminal application i was using locally to ssh into my machine.. lol there was nothing wrong with the server its self.. thanks mbeierl [18:32] aestetix: exactly what it says, 'long term support' [18:33] bullgard4, there's also sysrq+w that should show only blocked processes. but it sounds like something is not quire right with this. Once in that state, could you try a forced reboot with "sysrq+reisub" (that's sysrq+r, then sysrq+e, etc) [18:33] aestetix: for regular desktops, the answer is "not much", for corporate employments.. "a lot" [18:33] aestetix: new LTS release will come in 2 months, anyway [18:33] esuave, great! pici (fyi^) [18:33] Ah, ok. [18:33] aestetix: basically it means that the latest and greatest packages won't be always be ported back to 10.04 but LTS will remain stable. [18:33] esuave, sorry - I see you let pici know too, thanks! [18:34] esuave: aha [18:34] What about security updates and such that come out, and aren't applied to LTS? [18:34] yep thanks guys. lol.. sometimes its the overlooked things that are the problem [18:34] ciao [18:34] aestetix: they are. [18:34] mbeierl: "sysrq+reisub" restarted my T61 computer. [18:35] esuave, I have a similar problem, but it's actually display. My video driver does not always update my xterms... [18:35] How often are they applied? [18:35] bullgard4, ok, so the sysrq key combo is active. But for some reason, not telling anything about the running tasks. [18:36] mbeierl: I agree. [18:36] why we can't connect ubuntu system with ssh [18:36] bullgard4, you can try going through that wiki reference and see if there are any other "tell me something" tasks that might let it go, or the thaw combo? Maybe something will trigger and make sense of it [18:37] I just see the different version numbers of the packages, that's all [18:37] herodude: Have a look into the logs. [18:37] (the version of apache in ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS for example, is several years out of date) [18:38] mbeierl: I woll do but later. I am hurring now for my local computer club. [18:40] bullgard4, k, good luck [18:41] what is the difference between unity and unity2d [18:41] mbeierl, yeah, that'd seem the most likely cause, now that I think about it. Will the cache of reading the file eventually get pushed out of cache? [18:41] i run the command grep --color=always -iw lm /proc/cpuinfo and got that there is lm highlighted in red [18:42] loganrun: Unity2d is, well, 2d. No 3D acceleration (no nifty visual effects) [18:42] aestetix: read the changelog, zless /usr/share/doc/apache2/changelog.Debian.gz; [18:42] that means that my processor is capable of running 64 bit OS? [18:42] theadmin, o.k. so unity is 3D [18:43] anybody know how I stop the terminal bell sound when in unity2d [18:43] how to restart firefox using ssh...? [18:44] theadmin, unity2d seems much faster [18:44] loganrun: It is [18:44] CharminTheMoose, yes. Linux is good about using whatever memory is available - to the point where there are many "Linux ate my RAM" posts. It speeds everything up by using it for file cache, and only when a program really needs memory will it let the filesystem cache go [18:44] loganrun: check that "set bell-style none" is set in /etc/inputrc Should be by default though [18:44] !ram | CharminTheMoose (for more info) [18:44] CharminTheMoose (for more info): If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [18:45] and another question os ubuntu 11.10 the most stable version currently? [18:45] occupant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [18:45] and another question is ubuntu 11.10 the most stable version currently? [18:45] boba88: yes [18:45] boba88: most stable version of ubuntu anyway [18:46] aeon-ltd: thanks and any idea about my other question : i run the command grep --color=always -iw lm /proc/cpuinfo and got that there is lm highlighted in red, that means that my processor is capable of running 64 bit OS? [18:46] boba88: That's the most *recent* Ubuntu version. The most stable are considered to be LTS, which is currently 10.04 [18:46] Oh cheers for that mbeierl [18:47] CharminTheMoose, might be more than you wanted to know, but ... you're welcome! [18:47] command to restart firefox [18:47] theadmin: what would you suggest shall i go for 11.10 or keep the 10.04 that i already have? [18:47] boba88: Up to you [18:48] theadmin: i mean if you have any idea about the feedback from other users who already have 11.10 [18:49] Slightly related question, can all memory eventually get pushed to swap if there's a need? used memory/cache/buffer? [18:49] boba88: Meh... The underlying structure is okay, the desktop itself is annoying. But use some other desktop environment and you'll be fine [18:49] command to restart firefox [18:50] theadmin: thanks [18:50] herodude, close it and reopen it? === marrusl_ is now known as marrusl [18:52] my firefox crashes, when i try to watch a javascrip var with firebug. how can i get infos about the reason [18:54] I am having a problem with my network.I restarted a couple of times and got it to work restarted one more thime no connection.What can be the problem?

[22:06] ok im sorr :( [22:06] sun_devil: has the printer been setup on the network already, if so you don't need to connect with a cable to set it up again [22:06] imnichol: it allows to encrypt some users homes only? [22:06] killerfx: sounds like you overwrote your bootloader [22:06] imnichol: whereas dmcrypt would encrypt the whole blockdevice [22:07] Ah I see [22:07] Is dmcrypt still supported in some manner? [22:07] killerfx: can you access your windows drive within ubuntu? [22:07] @dragonfly and when i turn on my computer, it just loads straight to ubuntu [22:07] @dragonfly idk? how can i do that? [22:07] yeah im on my windows files thing [22:08] killerfx: can you access your windows drive within ubuntu? [22:08] yes [22:08] killerfx: you might want to try "sudo update-grug" then reboot to see if it's automatically added (it isn't typically when you install) [22:08] wait, did you load ubuntu off of the usb or install it on to the usb? [22:08] killerfx, hold left shift @ boot to enter the grub menu, there you can choose windows. [22:08] killerfx: sorry typo update-grub! [22:08] i left shift and it dont work [22:08] i loaded it off usb and installed it [22:08] killerfx: you didn't tell it to use the entire drive did you?

[22:54] i've found a copy of a .deb file and I use synaptic to install it, but when it runs, I get an error message about a missing font.

[23:12] sorry k'zan not too sure.... if you are home user I would go with desktop? [23:12] K`zan: enterprise? where do you see that?

Most confusing. [23:14] Is a visual bell possible in ubuntu? [23:14] trism: okay, thanks. I'll give that a try. [23:14] zykotick9 Somebody told me in this irc that the server LTS gets 5 years [23:14] helo1: that's true, but so will desktop in the new version of LTS [23:15] helo1: 12.04 LTS = 5 years [23:15] Nice :) [23:15] I like that [23:15] 3 years is weak [23:15] helo1: regular releases are the same support between desktop and server [23:15] to be honest k'zan i think that if you dont know what the difference is you go for the desktop. Its not like windoze where enterprise has more features/etc. Its more a case of enterprise is stripped down I think [23:15] zykes-: Trinity has desktop and enterprise releases on ubuntu and the only difference I can see is that desktop comes on a CD image and enterprise on a DVD. Also there is some talk of enterprise cloud on the ubuntu site, not clear if it is the same thing or something different. [23:15] K`zan: that's not Ubuntu [23:16] like helo1 says above, the enterprise has no gui by default [23:16] e4xit: I think I'll go with desktop. [23:16] yes [23:16] zykotick9: Yup, 'tis :-).

[23:44] CJKay: fixes a vdpau bug i have, i hope [23:44] hi i am getting this error wht is possible reason http://pastebin.com/4zkc9JuU [23:45] !python|subh [23:45] subh: python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python [23:45] actually, i think i'll just install xorg-edgers [23:45] jschall: Ubuntu version? [23:45] random Q - what's a good channel for unix beginners? one's primarily playing with OS X terminal? [23:45] CJKay: oneiric === q0rban is now known as q-rban [23:46] ciao [23:47] !list [23:47] 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 ». [23:47] helo1: sorry. sudo su -, and then run it. [23:47] theunsureguy: maybe #bash [23:47] What's a simple photo editor similiar to Microsoft Paint for linux? [23:47] could i pay some one here to install a raidcontroller on ubuntu 10.11 x64 [23:47] Look at this: [23:48] brontosaurusrex - is there a channel on this network called #bash? - thanks! [23:48] "lord knows i would love nothing better then to rape castrate skewer through on a spit and tear the throut out of the bitch doctor that circumcised my person asa newborn at the time it was done to me" [23:48] kraz3d: it's not exactly simple and way more featured than you are probably looking for, but GIMP is really good [23:48] xytras, 10.11? [23:48] Anyone else feel the same? [23:48] yes urlin2u [23:48] theunsureguy: yes [23:48] kraz3d, kolourpaint is good [23:48] dragonfly: Yeah, I've messed with gimp a little bit. I was just hoping for something a tiny bit simpler. [23:48] !op | Tammis [23:48] Tammis: Help! Channel emergency!

[23:48] brontosaurusrex [23:48] brontosaurusrex - thanks* [23:49] jschall: Looks like that's your only way m'afraid [23:49] xytras, that not a real OS it is 10.04 or 10.10 [23:49] theunsureguy: also maybe #mac [23:49] good night guys [23:49] xytras, or 11.04 0r 11.10 [23:49] kraz3d: Perhaps TuxPaint would suit your needs [23:50] 11.10 sorry about that [23:50] kraz3d: mtpaint is simple [23:50] xytras, cool no problem. :) [23:50] would you be interested urlin2u? [23:51] I would help If I could xytras [23:51] xytras: this is not paid support... Canonical does offer paid support, see /msg ubottu !support for that - or perhaps just wait and see if someone can help you for free here [23:52] Spec: thanks. It appears to have worked. I'll come back in 5 and let you know the outcome [23:52] everok [23:52] OK** [23:52] * LjL LARTs Spec for sudo su :P [23:52] hello :) [23:52] what can I use to burn/extract a .dmg file in ubuntu? [23:52] In Banshee, I have an album that contains multiple artists. I have edited the tracks' meta data and set the "Album Artist" field with a consistent value, but the browser interface still lists every artist individually. What can I do about this? [23:53] Gskellig: you can extract it with p7zip-full, as to burning it, no idea [23:53] Well when i try to install the controller i run the make command it says something like it can only install on kernal 2.6 or 2.4 and version 2.0 is not supported... 11.10 is version 3 right? [23:53] !info linux-image [23:53] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.0.15.17 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) [23:54] xytras: apparently, yes [23:54] hello ActionParsnip [23:54] hi zykotick9 [23:54] xytras: maybe the Makefile is silly and only checks for the number after the dot :\ [23:54] cant wait to have the new ubuntu version and get ready of so many system crashing [23:54] LjL what u mean? [23:54] <_Marcus> How do I change the resolution of the command line(no GUI) [23:54] <_Marcus> Right now it's big and annoying [23:55] brb getting the exact error [23:55] xytras: i mean if the kernel version is x.y, ity only checks for y>=4, and doesn't check for x, so it thinks kernel 3.0 is kernel 2.0 [23:55] xytras: just a theory === sidney_ is now known as sovereign [23:56] <_Marcus> It's currently like this: http://i.imgur.com/oIRgR.png and I want it less big. How would I do so? Is it Virtual Box settings? [23:57] p7zip-full "unknown suffix" with dmg file LjL [23:57] Gskellig: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38112/how-can-i-open-a-dmg [23:57] Spec: the script doesn't appear to be running [23:57] Gskellig: oh, weird, the APT description said it supports it :\ [23:58] Spec: is there a way I can check if it is for sure? [23:58] _Marcus: install guest additions should fix that [23:59] convert from .dmg to .img then convert from .img to .iso then burn [23:59] wow [23:59] thanks ActionParsnip lol [23:59] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: How? [23:59] helo1: add echos and such in the script, so you can see what is going on [23:59] When I put my computer to standby and resume, all I get is a black screen, no backlight. My dmesg log says "hash matches /build/buildd/linux-3.0.0/drivers/base/power/main.c:587" but theres no hash device for me to go on. Is there anything else I can do to debug this? [23:59] _Marcus: check the virtual box help manual for "guest additions"
