[00:00] Andrew131: On board USB is 2.0 I take it? [00:00] pragmaticenigma: yes [00:00] 3.0 was only introduced into the problem via me trying to rule out the onboard usb controller [00:01] Do you have the complete DMESG or syslog entry? [00:01] pragmaticenigma: [00:01] Sure [00:02] Mailserver question. In /etc/postfix/main.cf I have [relayhost = smtp.someisp.no] and everything works fine. I have to use this relayhost since my ISP has closed port 25. My ISP tells me that if I dont want to use their relayhost I have to configure my mailserver to use a ssl port like port 465. Then I can remove the relayhost option. Do anyone know where I do this like which files to edit and is this possible if I don [00:05] Andrew131: I'm seeing a ton of posts on the issue dating back a ways... === skilz is now known as Guest88973 [00:05] All with no sollutions [00:05] =\ [00:05] Hey, that's cool, I was just switching off my computer when i saw this easter egg (is it an easter egg?) on the right! :http://alturl.com/n53kn [00:06] Andrew131: Yeah... sadly this isn't the first time I've seen issues with USB and motherboards.

[00:18] putty? yes [00:18] openssh, yes i think its set to 22 in the conf [00:18] using putty. put in ip to your machine and port 22 (ssh) [00:19] yep, that is what i am doing in putty [00:19] it works for me. [00:19] Not for me :( [00:20] Question here, how would somebody go about making contributions to official packages? [00:20] I'm using a live CD to move my root to LVM but I'm getting errors saying no space left, when there should be, and the disk usage analysis doesn't add up...

[00:31] theunholy: if you run "sudo ssh localhost" my guess is you'd be connecting as root (not really a good idea for SSH to allow root). If you "ssh localhost" with your user, can you login? [00:31] oh god what happened to my grammar [00:31] Oer: well with a backslash before it... (IRC on phone, couldn't be bothered to find symbol) it was copying fine, until it decided the disk is full, which it's not...

Anyone? [00:33] Is the use of a Firewall necessary in Ubuntu (like it is in windows xp) or more of an add-on? [00:35] Viman: "necessary" depends on your POV and paranoia quotient. *buntu/linux are not CURRENTLY seen as high yield targets by the bad guys [00:35] Sorry Andrew131, dozed off [00:36] cfhowlett: I see. [00:36] is J.Edgar a good movie? [00:36] np Im not really expecting this to ever work at this point, Im thinking of yanking the drive out and putting it in the box but I'll probably have to buy a esata controller because the board only seems to have scsi [00:36] are there negatives/positives to encrypting the home folder on install (as a new user)? [00:37] Uluru: Only if you are sharing your machine with other people, or using a laptop that will be out a lot and could easily be stolen [00:38] Andrew131: I have a feeling that it's a driver issue at it's core... seems to be out for awhile but I'm not finding any submissions on bug trackers which concerns me [00:39] Uluru: Positives is that it will keep your stuff private from others should your computer ever be stolen. It's negatives are if you ever forget your password, you will NEVER get your data back [00:39] I am experiencing this bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658600), but it says "fixed". What now? [00:39] Which leads me to want to bank this sucker out of its external case like a broken tooth =D [00:39] Gnome bug 658600 in GtkFileChooser "Geany crashes when reopening file chooser dialog" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] [00:39] Andrew131: was there a particular reason that you were trying to use this externally?

Once something is fixed there is still more testing [00:40] pragmaticenigma - thanks. [00:40] Just ease of setup. I only have SCSI on the board so to use esata I'll have to add it [00:40] hello, i have a problem and need help: i installed kubuntu-full onto my ubuntu laptop (asus k53ta - llano a6, radeon 6650m), i reboot, and now i have no display.. it all goes black, and i can hear the login sounds though.

We are only a couple months away from the realese of 12.04... I would see if it gets fixed then [00:41] i was wondering - is there a way to change what programs are displayed in dash home in unity? [00:41] trying to install to a 2.5tb but it wont partitoin right ot something, im not sure [00:42] how can i make a directory always have certain permissions even if you add files to it? this is ubuntu server so i need to use terminal. [00:42] Jimm_: i think you need to use a gpt partition table === braiam_ is now known as braiam [00:42] for example, it says "browse the web" - and wants me to use firefox. what if i want to set that to chromium? [00:42] Gentoo64: due to size? [00:42] yea [00:42] can i do that from the live disk? [00:42] i think anything over 1.5 or 2tb needs it [00:42] Jimm_: gparted can do it easily [00:42] So basically, solution is... change OS? [00:42] i begin to enjoy the spirit of your #ubuntu channel [00:42] Why am I haveing so much trouble with this bull. [00:43] All i did was install ssh...and i cant connect to the fing thing [00:43] so i should try to partition before install, not use the resize option on instal live disk? [00:43] Jimm_: to chnage the partition table, itll delete the whole disk [00:43] Jimm_: that's one way... [00:44] thats fine, the disk is empty [00:44] Jimm_: ok, well the installer should have gparted, go into that [00:44] at the top under partitions (i think) there should be an option "create new partition table" or similar, do that and choose gpt [00:45] ANYONE? [00:45] can anyone help on that question? [00:45] kk. its not possible to install straight to 2.5tb is it?

[00:45] yes [00:45] if its 2.5tb you might as well partition it tbh, its huge [00:45] del, settings will allow you to set favorite apps, anty browser is okay. [00:46] any [00:46] Jimm_: its good to separate system from data [00:46] I'm thinking of writing an app that will count the time I spend on bugs in Ubuntu and calculate how much that would cost at minimum wage [00:46] fair enough [00:46] lol [00:46] ubottu: that was the real question. it was how do i switch from firefox being the listed default browser in unity dash home to chromium. [00:46] del: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:47] Jimm_: in the event of a catastophe its easier to grab a smaller partition off a disk [00:47] joallard, you have some good depression meds you may need them after that analyse. :) [00:47] how do I installed the sun jdk in ubuntu [00:47] I'm trying to move my root onto an LVM with a liveCD but its giving me errors saying disk full, when its not :/ any ideas how to fix? I think its because the Live CD has magically given itself a total filesystem of 125GB which doesnt match anything I can see... [00:47] urfr332g0, think of the thousands! [00:47] is ext4 best thing to use? [00:47] Jimm_: or wipe the system partition to upgrade [00:47] Jimm_: yea [00:47] Jimm_: yes [00:48] !java | hays [00:48] hays: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.

You *have* to be a developper/troubleshooter of some sort. Else, you can't get anything done [00:49] but it wont let me putty into it from my windows box [00:49] del, I think it is settings not dash home you can get to settings from the logout shutdown dropdown top right of top pab\nel. [00:49] but I guess I'll just rtfm [00:49] panel [00:49] theunholy: is it behind a NAT router? [00:50] asks for username, i put it in, asks for password, i put it in and it says access denied [00:50] i have the ports forwarded etc [00:50] I've never been so attracted to Macs before using Ubuntu. amazing. [00:50] theunholy: maybe its not configured to accept plaintext passwords [00:50] How do I fix that? [00:50] theunholy: what user are you trying to log in as? [00:51] the one im in? [00:51] urfr332g0: ok, i'm in settings. what i'm saying is that "dash home" part - can i modify the applications it suggests for me in system settings, then? [00:51] not root [00:51] Viman: SSH is awesome, you have ssh which is the client and you have sshd, which is the daemon (running on a server for example), so you got a configuration file in yo homiez directory and you edit it. You edit it goood... [00:51] theunholy: since your using port forwarding is it at all possible that theres a second ssh server your connecting to? [00:51] i have a web server and i have to -R 777 the website folder every time i add a page or something or clients cant access those pages. How can i make it so everything in the folder is automatically of the correct permission? [00:51] theunholy: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config [00:52] im trying to "runas /user:ap someapp" then it says "chroot(2) to directory before execution", anyone know what to do? to make it work? im root and want to runa program as the "ap" user. [00:52] ok damo? [00:52] urfr332g0: specifically, when i click dock home, it gives me shortcuts. one of them is to "browse the web" - but it has a firefox icon. i want to change that to chromium. [00:52] and no im running only one ssh server on it [00:52] Viman: also, you can connect remotely so you don't have to walk across the room. When I realized I could do that with my home server I was like... awwww yeah time to grab some popcorn and chill in this seat. [00:52] i have a virtual machine with ubuntu server installed and just installed openssh [00:52] chaos_zero: well. 777 are never the right permissions. You probably want to add those files as group "www-data". Make sure you are in that group (using gpasswd or smth similar) and then you can do smth like "newgrp www-data" before adding the files. [00:53] theunholy: Im not saying running only one ssh on the machine is there only one ssh server behind the nat ? [00:53] Yes [00:53] Should only be one [00:53] okay, why the hell won't they update gtk+ to bugfixed versions? [00:53] del, default app usage of spefic things such a s pdf file or media in in the right click properties menu of the app you want to show such as a pdf or a media file. In setting is a favorite default for like which browser to use etc. [00:53] theunholy: vms do different types of networking, you can do nat, bridged or private hosting [00:53] freeroute: sweet! [00:53] i have it bridged with replicate on [00:53] Viman: also you can forward ports and stuff, this way it becomes easier to download porn at work and your sysadmin would be like "Welp, looks encrypted. Seems legit!" [00:54] theunholy: in that case you are not connecting to the right machine === cristiano is now known as Guest60072 [00:54] ? [00:54] theunholy: likely you are trying to connect to the host os [00:54] urfr332g0: i'm not quite sure i follow. for the dock, yes, a right click lets me say let it stick or take it off... [00:54] theunholy: since they will share an ip [00:55] urfr332g0: but for the dock home if i right click, it just opens the app. [00:55] but only the ubuntu has a ssh server running [00:55] del, not the dock rught clicks but on a actaul thing like a pdf or a media. [00:55] theunholy: what is the host os? [00:55] Windows 7 [00:55] can someone please help me? i'v stated my issue above [00:56] and the vmware has a different local ip then the host... [00:56] theunholy: maybe you have an ssh trojan [00:56] :P [00:56] lol [00:56] ? [00:56] anyone know why i cant make an extended partition [00:56] that makes 0 sense [00:56] i just installed this today [00:56] del, you don't righty click there for what I suggest but the access thing within its folder. [00:56] how the fuck can i have a ssh trojan [00:56] ray1claw: sorry, I won't scroll for you. So please restate your problem.

Anyone? [00:57] Hi all! [00:57] !language > theunholy [00:57] theunholy, please see my private message [00:57] same way you can have any trojan [00:57] muelli, ^ [00:57] and the ubtunu's local ip is 192.168.1.143 and the host ip is 192.168.1.143 [00:57] muelli: thanks for the reply. i just skimmed man gpasswd and dont quite understand, but disregarding that, it still sounds like you are saying i will have to assign the new files a command every time. I am looking for a way that anything in the folder just works without having to change it every time. For example some people might upload files to it with FTP but then no one can download them until i use the chmod. [00:57] Jimm_: not sure why not, you can make primaries [00:57] urfr332g0: ok, so what folder would chromium be in? [00:57] Jimm_: how are you partitioning the drive? [00:57] theunholy: theyre the same dude [00:57] How recover delited folder with files in Ubuntu? [00:57] not internal ips [00:57] Viman: also, you can use SSH to get on a computer wherever you are and surf like it's there, so that means that for example you're on the moon... and you notice that wikipedia article about farting in the space suit is blocked there! Except on Earth where it's still safe and decriminalized. The moonlegion however does not realize that they have an Ubuntu h4x0r in their midst. So what you basically do, is SSH into your homie server, port forwa [00:57] one is 192.168.1.147 and one is 192.168.1.143 [00:57] Olya: if they're in the trashcan you can restore... [00:58] evening, I just nmaped my ubuntu 11.04 and there is something called freeciv running on port 5555, I am trying to run something else on this port, when I googled freeciv it is a game, and I found it in the ubuntu software center, but It shows that I do NOT have freeciv installed, any ideas what is up with this? [00:58] del, dud your on the moon what do you want chromium to do bw the defaULT BROWSER? [00:58] !recover | Olya [00:58] Olya: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [00:58] my internet ip is the same obviously, but that is why i only have ssh running on ubuntu @ 192.168.1.143 and the router forwarding that port to 192.168.1.143 [00:58] not really sure, this is my first time with ubuntu and only ever partitiond with windows before [00:58] no in bin [00:58] chaos_zero: well. several strategies. One would be to have a sticky bit on the folder people are writing to, so that all created files are automatically in the proper group. The other strategy would be to make the user have the www-data group and maybe default to it. [00:58] Jimm_: just make it a primary [00:58] urfr332g0: ok - i got it. i just changed it in chromium preferences to be the default browser - then it changed it in the dock from firefox to chromium. that's all i wanted to do. [00:58] thx ok i go read [00:58] its lets me make a primary then nothing else [00:58] Jimm_: gpt can handle loads of partitions [00:58] theunholy: surely you can ssh from putty in the host os to the vm [00:58] muelli, i cant access the cli on normal boot, but i have it on right now via recovery..

[01:50] Guest99267, the fonts are downloaded from microsoft [01:50] Guest99267: usr share fonts [01:50] yoyou mean what ubuntu version? [01:50] gentoo64: mind my ignorance but which do I move and which do I copy? [01:50] Guest99267, yes [01:50] 11.04 should i upgrade to 11.10 [01:50] seasandoceans: i have no clue what you're doing :) [01:51] could someone kick bobenhaus for me? [01:51] seasandoceans: all i know is to move something (as normal user) to root dir requires sudo [01:51] nvm ) [01:51] Guys, i'm back [01:51] Guest99267, 11.10 is the last version to have gnome2 so if you like gnome2 dont [01:52] gentoo64: thanks for everything. hopefully I can figure it out.. [01:52] Guest99267, rather 11.04 is the last. 11.10 doesnt [01:52] seasandoceans: where are the files, and where do you need to copy them to? [01:52] hey peoples, looking for some help in 11.10 with the usbip package -- I know its listed as a bug (missing usbip kernel modules), but looking to see if anyone had any hacks to get itworking [01:53] hi [01:53] No data received [01:53] weird my nicks are getting ghosted [01:53] Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data. [01:53] could someone kick my bobenhaus;s? [01:54] I cant use pastbin or past.ubuntu, cause when I press to paste, starts to load... and looooad [01:54] Xoombenhaus, he needs to be disco'ed from the server before you can use the name, nto just the channel [01:54] I dont want to flood the chat ): [01:54] forbidden404, do other tcp connections work? [01:54] esoul:yeah. wonder if it is a netsplit? [01:54] likely [01:54] I didn't see a netsplit happen [01:54] or he just hasnt pinged out yet [01:55] yeah strange [01:55] Xoombenhaus: if they're getting ghosted, probably check in with someone in #freenode [01:55] gentoo64: home//downloads/dialogues to filesystem/usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin [01:56] hello all. my 10.10 box won't boot after update and I am having trouble finding a mirror for the boot info script [01:56] escott, I don't know about TCP's ): you mean network manager or wicd? [01:56] !bootinfo [01:56] Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [01:56] takkun, ^^^ [01:56] forbidden404, does any other network connection work? [01:56] ty urfr332g0 \ [01:56] seasandoceans: is dialogues a folder? whatever way, go into terminal, cd /home/user/downloads then sudo cp -r dialogues /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin [01:56] takkun, no problem pastebin it if needed. [01:56] thanks cfhowlett it worked like a charm [01:57] escott: When I'm in the Windows,it works fine, im the only guy in the house with ubuntu and even wired, has the same problem. [01:57] Guest99267: no problem. Have fun. [01:57] I don't tested in any other router [01:57] but I will this week [01:57] in my buddy's house [01:57] forbidden404, i think it would be helpful to know if this is webbrowser related or something more low-level. so lets teach you to use telnet to download an http page [01:57] My computer has a hard drive that mounts in /media on bootup. I accidentally unmounted it. Is there a way to remount it in the same way as ubuntu mounts it? I know I can mkdir /media/[UUID], mount /dev/sdXX /media/[UUID], but that seems like the wrong way to do it. [01:58] With a removable drive, I'd unplug it and plug it back in, but this is a normal, fixed HDD [01:58] escott, telnet? [01:58] pmitros: try just /mount/drive [01:58] pmitros: try mount /drive rather [01:58] pmitros: you could do sudo mount -a, if it has an entry in fstab [01:59] It doesn't have an entry in fstab; it's autodetected by Ubuntu on bootup [01:59] So mount /media/[UUID] doesn't help. [01:59] forbidden404, open a terminal and type "telnet www.google.com 80" then quickly type "GET index.html" and hit enter twice [01:59] pmitros: you can find out which partition number it is and mount it manually? [02:00] forbidden404, it should dump some text out which should end with Connection closed by foreign host. [02:00] escott: what about curl [02:00] damo: I can. I was just hoping there's a Right Way to do it. I've had the same problem with USB drives, when I unmount them by accident, and I wanted to figure this out once and for all. === mauricio is now known as Guest24224 [02:01] pmitros -- can you use the file manager to mount it [02:01] Escott, exactly that [02:01] that might mount it in /media [02:01] urfr332g0 http://pastebin.com/jvCGeEUp [02:01] I need to disconnect for my nicks will leave :(... they keep relogging [02:01] esoul: Woah. That did it. Cool! I've never stepped outside the command line for this kind of thing before. Thanks! [02:02] damo22, yeah i suppose that would work too, although you get a script when you do that so its not as obvious that its working [02:02] Now I guess I should figure out how the file manager does it... [02:02] hi there again. firstly thank you all that advise me xubuntu, i am enjoying it very much [02:02] no problem pmitros, yeah I have used it to mount things but I pariculatrly dont like things thrown into a "pseduo-random" folder even though the UUID stays the same [02:03] now, i have some questions, as usual of noobs [02:03] udisks [02:03] forbidden404, if you can do that then your internet connection would seem to be working and its likely a web browser issue. you can also use tools like wget or curl to download webpages "curl www.google.com/index.html" which might be easier (you get slightly different results with curl) [02:03] metsys23>http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/Pictures/success.jpg [02:03] I'm trying to launch all 3 of my startup programs in different screen windows of the SAME screen session. Is there a way to do that? [02:03] But, I can access google, my problem is with especific sites [02:04] forbidden404, which suggests something specific to your browser [02:04] gentoo64: for some reason I keep getting a "no such file or directory" and I've been over it a bunch of times now. seems a little impossible as I have the folder open in another window and that is definitely the path... strange! [02:04] I am using ubuntu software center to install some software, like liberoffice [02:04] forbidden404, like you have a greasemonkey script or some kind of addon which is causing the page to reload [02:04] please, help me with that -> http://xtupload.com/share-B981_4F384B07.html [02:04] how i can do that [02:05] seasandoceans: use tab-complete it never gets it wrong [02:05] I will restart chromium without any addon [02:05] takkun, looks like it should boot you can reload the grub bootloader to the mbr, look here 3 methods read very carefully. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 [02:05] thank you very much urfr332g0 [02:05] urfr332g0: it was just hanging at the purple splash spring [02:05] screen* [02:05] takkun, no problem wost case download supergrub to boot in and fix it from te desktop.

[02:09] forbidden404, which are all javascript triggered actions [02:09] gentoo64: I'm not familiar with "tab-complete," do I enter it after I make the path entry? [02:09] !tab | seasandoceans [02:09] seasandoceans: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:10] old school [02:10] escott: there's a library for javascript in ubuntu? [02:10] maybe is missing in my library [02:10] or tab willgive you the command :( [02:10] forbidden404: no, it's handled by a your browser's engine. [02:10] forbidden404, no, but it sounds like something is wrong with your browsers javascript in some way. have you tried a different browser? [02:11] I am trying to instal Ubuntu on my 2002 IBM think pad with no sevice packs. It does not react to booting from a USB stick, it reads the boot disc for one minute before ignoring that as well. I tried Plop but it just returns to the plop main menu after one minute if I tell it to boot from the disc. Plop freezes when I tell it to boot from USB. What do I do?

I changed the user account password, but does anyone know a script I can use to brute force the password on the passphrase?

[02:21] madalin: look into samba docs [02:21] No I don't think so [02:21] madalin: each machine serving up the samba shares would have to block that machine based on ip i think. [02:21] cfhowlett: I'm pretty sure I didn't have a particularly secure login password [02:21] karfir, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [02:21] madalin: via their samba configs.

I setup a Samba share using a guide and it shares fine to the /srv location but I tried also adding a share to a second hard drive and when I try to access from Windows 7, it says I might not have permissions. Can anyone spare a few minutes to help? [02:24] karfir, do you not remember the old password?

[02:25] BigTaxi: what distro/version ? [02:25] urfr332g0: Yeah, it's encrypted. [02:26] karfir, and you never logged into this system in the intervening period?

[02:28] wingie: that'll just flood your computer [02:28] urfr332g0: Yeah, hopefully the NSA/whoever has someone whose job it is to do the nefarious stuff that isn't looking for help on URC [02:28] i'm a newb and miserable with the terminal... tell me what to do and what to look for [02:28] BigTaxi: lspci | grep Ethernet outputs anything ? [02:28] h00k madalin: I won't do that command, i just need to loop something else [02:29] escott: It's only as secure as the old login password that wraps it, which is more like 656,100,000,000, but can be attacked statistically [02:29] hold on... tail -f /var/log/syslog left me without a command prompt (my computer and user name) [02:30] karfir, how did you changed your password, like you said earlier ? [02:30] and so no new commands will go through [02:30] just find out the cairo dock is a cool thing to play with [02:30] BigTaxi: ctrl-c to end that command (tail is still running) [02:30] BigTaxi: thats what tail -f means with the -f option.. reads the file untill you ctrl-c [02:30] Guys, how I know if I'm missing some lib? [02:30] ls [02:31] forbidden404: error messages in the terminal when you run an app that needs the lib normally. [02:31] Oer: Just went in in recovery mode, logged in as root and ran passwd. It was actually a bad idea, because there are a ton of tools that attack /etc/shadow, so if I had left it unchanged I could use one of those. [02:31] BigTaxi: did you typed that in a terminal ? If so, try pressing CTRL+C [02:31] ok. lspci | grep ethernet and nothing happened [02:31] Dr_willis: but this time my problem isnt with a app [02:31] an* [02:31] forbidden404: whats it with then? [02:31] BigTaxi: are you grep Ethernet. Exactly like i said it.. [02:32] Dr_willis: Is about javascript not running well [02:32] my browser is okay [02:32] i typed it exactly as you said, in the terminal [02:32] Idk what is the problem [02:32] BigTaxi: and NOTHING outputs ? [02:32] nothing [02:32] its wireless though... just in case you didnt know and it matters [02:33] BigTaxi: well, that command should output at LEAST one line saying something about Ethernet controller.. If it doesnt..maybe you're using an USB network card ? [02:33] nah. it's a card in my tower that i've been using for years. [02:33] lspci | grep network [02:34] karfir, http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/01/daemon-challenge-2-we-have-winner.html [02:34] not usb, as far as i know. right into the motherboard. AND it worked just a few days ago [02:34] hi guys. I want to use the find command with the -delete option. I've found all of the folders I was looking for "_notes". They're located in different depths with a main folder. How do I structure the command so that I don't delete anything that isn't _notes? [02:34] BigTaxi, use caps for E in Ethernet [02:35] webroasters: locate foo IIRC [02:35] i dont' understand [02:35] tjiggi_fo +1 [02:35] bbl [02:35] tjiggi_fo: i think he did. I hope lol. [02:35] ok, i got two things [02:35] nope... not capital E. sorry. [02:35] but i have things now [02:36] I've been getting this from rkhunter for a while: http://pastebin.com/zRsbtFzc - I've tried several things to reset rkhunter with no luck. Any tips on how to have rkhunter not complain about these files? [02:36] BigTaxi: great. That means you have two network cards [02:36] escott: Thanks, that might get me there! [02:36] tjiggi_fo: :P [02:36] awesome [02:36] heh heh [02:36] webroasters, find . -iname "*_notes" -delete [02:36] BigTaxi: so, doing a tail -f /var/log/syslog states NOTHING ? [02:37] no, it does. what do you need to know [02:37] ok thanks escott [02:37] webroasters, obv. run it without -delete first, but it will only delete those files it prints [02:38] How can I upgrade without lose my gnome-classic desktop? unity really sucks .... [02:38] escott. Right, i did that [02:38] anyone know anything about these guys? http://toratek.net/vps-plans - it seems that they offer every possible version of Ubuntu on Xen for pretty cheap [02:38] one question. how do i do this recursively? [02:39] BigTaxi: use that command and try to connect. Anything about wireless ? [02:39] so that it deletes eveerything inside the folders [02:39] webroasters, find . -iname "*_notes" -delete [02:39] webroasters, find is recursive :) [02:39] right. ok, thanks, i'll try it again [02:39] hello [02:39] I need help with a quick item please! :) [02:39] webroasters, unless you mean that those are folders. in which case you can use find . -iname "*_notes" -exec rm -rf {} \; [02:39] two say 'disabling freq 24 (72/84) MHz' [02:40] world regulatory domain updated [02:40] yep, that's probably it [02:40] how do set up dns and apache I just did a fresh install [02:40] no connection though [02:40] with a semi-colon at the end? [02:40] and also how do i add my html files in ubuntu? [02:40] i did not see you give me a command other than the -tail one... thats just a readout [02:40] i am on Ubuntu server. [02:40] seems like toratek.net makes linode look overpriced... [02:40] webroasters, a \;... you have to get the semicolon escaped so that i makes it to find so that find knows the command is done [02:41] ch33z, it is all in https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ [02:41] o [02:42] Oer thanks, I will respond back if I need more help :) [02:42] but, do I really need a gui?

[02:46] whenever you are free, my problem persists [02:47] urfr332g0: I think it's a permissions issue on the ubuntu share, not a windows side issue since I can access the other ubuntu share fine [02:47] !info swat | bascotie [02:47] bascotie: swat (source: samba): Samba Web Administration Tool.

XFCE is in the repos [02:50] BigTaxi: no need to wonder.. just ask! [02:50] ch33z: if you'd think that you might be better off with the GUI ;-) [02:50] well i had a guy for a little while... but my ineptitude scared him off [02:50] holstein, all the new proprietary ubuntu services, is there anything mandatory? Im using a fairly old ubuntu here [02:51] haha ulziibuyan you think so? [02:51] in the guides do they tell how to add html files ulziibuyan ? [02:51] EricInBNE: im using the latest LTS.. 10.04 ...try them live... its really up to you [02:51] ch33z: I'm not sure you have to look into it.

[02:54] this laptop and that PC are right next to one another currently. i may be confused as to what an access point is [02:55] trying to use nginx, but I can't figure out how to get rid of apache. :P [02:55] purge it! [02:55] did apt-get purge apache2 [02:55] Zillow: sudo apt-get purge apache2? [02:55] it won't go away! [02:55] guys, I know this may be a bit off topic but I'm kind of despite. I'm taking a systems programming in unix class, and my homework was to create an MBRviewer program. I created one, and everything works, but some of the CHS addresses are off. I'm hoping you guys can run it against your own MBRs and 1) tell me if they are also off and 2)help me debug my program, if you are willing [02:56] seriously though... the connection was working one or two days ago. i have changed nothing. [02:56] how do i ed this? "You may configure the default behavior of the OpenSSH server application, sshd, by editing the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config" [02:56] BigTaxi [02:56] codemonkey1337: That is not the place for this [02:56] BigTaxi: i would just trouble shoot.. i know you are holding on to "all the rest are fine".. but if that perspective is not constructive, you might have to abandon it, and troubleshoot elsewhere [02:56] ch33z: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config [02:56] ah thanks! [02:56] h00k: as I said it may be offtopic, but it is a linux issue. [02:56] A while ago, I used a GREAT little directory-jump program in bash -- if you typed "j music", it would bounce you to the most frequently accessed dir that had "music" in it -- and i cannot remember what it was called or how to reinstall it. Anyone? [02:56] codemonkey1337: It is not an Ubuntu support question. This isn't the place for it. [02:57] h00k: fine, where would be the a place to support it? [02:57] i'm not sure what you mean. this computer is on the same exact network that the other cannot connect to, but used to be able to. === log is now known as MRB[away] [02:57] BigTaxi: correct.. and you are assuming that it has to be the issue.. and that is likely... but it wouldnt hurt to power cycle the router [02:57] codemonkey1337: I don't know, try !alis [02:58] !alis | codemonkey1337 [02:58] codemonkey1337: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode.

[02:58] it's not my router, it is owned by the people i live with. [02:58] urfr332g0 : I got it working. --takkun [02:58] ok back [02:58] metsys32: /opt? [02:59] however, this computere was asked for a passwork when i tried to get onto google last night. in-web browser. [02:59] the non functioning one has not been asked that. [02:59] that is the only difference i have come across. [02:59] if power cycling is the only real option, i will wait until they are at work to sabotage the network tomorrow [02:59] ha, found it. "autojump" if you're interested. [03:00] ulziibuyan, i dont know... but there are a program that i downloaded too [03:00] k, thanks, bye! [03:00] was this the one i was in lol? [03:00] BigTaxi: ?... google?.. if you are not online, google is irrelevant [03:00] okay turns out I have a strange stand-alone version of apache2, if I remove it, it will break other packages, so I will just turn it off. :) === MRB[away] is now known as log [03:00] no i know, i'm just relaying what happened last night. [03:00] that's all. [03:01] the non-functioning PC has yet to be asked for an access code, which occured in-browser on this, functioning computer [03:01] although you'e right, it doesnt connect at all [03:01] so i'm being a moron [03:01] BigTaxi: cool... let the past go... whats happening right now? can you connect wired?.. does the machine get an IP address? [03:01] metsys23: it could even be in your home folder. [03:02] BigTaxi, can you clone your mac? [03:02] no Ip, just able to see networks [03:02] explain please [03:02] BigTaxi: if you pulug it in wired to the router, does it get an IP? [03:03] i would assume so... but the router is not able to be screwed with at the moment [03:03] BigTaxi, what you have described is a mac address block [03:03] yeah, is this *your* router BigTaxi ? [03:04] no, it is the rentals. [03:04] i <3 ubuntu [03:04] ok, what happens in a mac address block [03:04] ? [03:04] Big Taxi, do you pay for the internet? [03:04] included in the monthly [03:05] is apache web server already installed in ubuntu? [03:05] superdave321 you can check by going to http://localhost [03:06] Zillow how do i do taht [03:06] well if it's running that is [03:06] that* [03:06] superdave321: Not normally. [03:06] on the CLI? [03:06] so no advice on the MAC block? [03:06] BigTaxi, I don't know if such info is allowed in here [03:07] oh damn. [03:07] BigTaxi: I'd ask whoever manages your router/access point to see if there's a block on your MAC address. [03:07] Ok. so no. when i do apt-get install apache, it comes up as no installation canadate. how do i install it? [03:07] murderface. OK, I will. [03:07] superdave321: apache2 [03:07] superdave do apache2 [03:07] bummer. [03:07] h00k, Zillow: Ahh! Thanks! [03:08] BigTaxi: you have rebooted? [03:08] computer? yes if restart = reboot [03:08] BigTaxi, all i can say is google mac adress cloning [03:08] address* [03:08] or, hit the reset button and *own* your own gateway! [03:09] holstien: lol! then they would know! [03:09] Hi, i need help on adobe flash, the flash keeps crashing after sometime [03:09] Zillow: i think BigTaxi means from the ISP [03:10] ok, ill do some research on cloning. thanks for the help, and if everything fails i will ask the people. [03:10] sasven: i would try chrome, AFAIK it has its own flash.. somethings are just awful for us in flash [03:10] ok thanks [03:10] holstein: I think I missed that part. [03:11] Zillow: i could be mis-reading it [03:11] hi [03:12] holstein: I was under the impression his rents where blocking him. [03:13] were* [03:13] and they could have blocked the MAC within the last 24 hours? [03:13] Where do I change the settings for which screen zones open the unity menu? I used to have it only open if mouse is at very top or bottom left [03:14] BigTaxi, they would have had to setup MAC address filtering in the router [03:15] which would have blocked my PC while i was at work? i leave it on basically all the time. [03:15] BigTaxi, was it running bittorrent or using a load of bandwidth? [03:16] no. i use bandwidth after 11 pm, when i get home. nobody else is on. [03:17] Hey all, had a problem with my ubuntu 10.04 server crashing this weekend.

[03:54] Now, I only have to figure out if it's possible to cancel my current installation [03:54] It's downloading the language packs, and its current estimate is 120 minutes [03:55] its_falling, reboot the computer. [03:55] you're just going to reformat it anyways, correct? [03:55] its_falling, just reboot hte machine and redo it all... [03:55] the* [03:55] I am going to start programming in C++ in ubuntu but what do I need to compile things [03:55] Well, I guess I will be reformatting, but I do have win7 installed as well - it won't affect anything, right? [03:55] Scarra3: g++ [03:56] alright then sorry guys! haha, well I have a server that I want to install ubuntu to but im encountering a few problems...the server is a Dell Poweredge 2650 and consequently does not support booting via USB so I cannot use that as an install medium. My CD drive is working...but for some reason will not recognize my install CD as bootable medium (although i know the CD works as I tested it in another computer)......so my only other [03:56] howo to start this? [03:56] itsfalling: you can save the package downloads and use them again on next boot [03:56] ahh, alright. [03:56] Let me give this a try. [03:56] joe75, you can boot a usb with plop, or use the minimal cd. [03:57] Scarra3: build-essentials package [03:57] h00k: Anything else? [03:57] the poweredge BISO does NOT support booting via USB, and as I said for some reason the CD drive is not recognising bootable media [03:58] BIOS* [03:58] Scarra3: no [03:58] Scarra3: the package is build-essential, and yes, you'll need a code editor or ide that you feel comfortable with [03:58] h00k: alright thank you so its just "sudo apt-get install build-essentials"? [03:59] Scarra3: yep [03:59] by the way im a newbie, GUI user, and i use mostly windows, i wanted to get ubuntu on my server to start playing around with it [03:59] I reccomend codeblocks [03:59] Joe____: doesn't have DRAC something like remote virtual cdrom drives? [03:59] if you like GUIs anyways [03:59] Scarra3: it's build-essential, no s at the end [04:00] aj00200, thanks to you i can debug php problems faster. [04:00] aj00200, can i pm you. [04:01] overclucker: I was looking at using the text editor that comes with ubuntu or go with vi or vim [04:01] use vim [04:01] use nano [04:01] Scarra3: i use vim, and sometimes emacs === faitz is now known as Guest30488 [04:01] I don't think vi has native syntax support [04:01] vim does [04:01] I have not looked into DRAC but I will give it a try! thanks! [04:02] overclucker: is vim hard to learn to use? [04:02] Btw with a laptop with an ati graphics card I should install fglrx right? [04:03] exit [04:03] Scarra3: it takes some time to get used to, and more time to learn to use advanced features, emacs is the same [04:03] It's a lot like learning anything in linux. It has a bit of a difficulty curve, but pays off later on [04:04] overclucker: So to install its just sudo apt-get install vim? [04:04] Scarra3: yup, that'll replace vim tiny on your system [04:05] overclucker: I'm guessing thats what I would want to do, sorry I haven't used ubuntu in a long time so I am trying to get back into it [04:05] iToast: yes, you can pm me (sorry for the delay) [04:06] Scarra3: yup, that's right [04:06] Can i refresh a file in nano?

[04:07] neiz: its in my laptop and I don't remember off the top of my head give me one second [04:07] Scarra3: to list your GPU you could use "lspci | grep -i vga" [04:08] neiz: ati mobility radeon hd 4250 [04:08] Scarra3: i have an radeon 5770 and have never been able to get good results out of the proprietary driver.. builtin one has always been better for me [04:09] in my desktop i have the ati radeon hd 5770 but the fglrx work better for the ones in my desktop [04:09] Joe____: doh you have a 2650, that's a pretty aged box you have there. still nice to play with, i guess. though its drac may not be great. [04:10] I have a 5770 also, I get about 0.015BTC a day with it [04:10] oops no, 0.15BTC* [04:11] Zillow: crossfire it for .3BTC :p [04:11] Joe____: it does have a remote floppy boot capability though. http://www.sizledcore.com/2011/01/default-root-password-for-drac-poweredge-2650/ [04:13] neiz, if I could afford another, I think I would opt for a 5830 or 5850, but my 1 HD 5770 is good enough [04:13] if i had your money, id retire [04:15] "sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf" any reason why this isnt working?

[04:26] zykotick9: haha, yes i know i can do "sudo service lightdm start" [04:26] ch33z: you already have ssh to the server, add sftpd to the server, then make the connection to the server with every gui tool avail, works for me [04:27] Hi guys. === zabot is now known as zayus [04:27] o cool, but almoxarife arent gui bad for the servers? [04:27] Just a quick query; Say I wanted to install ubuntu onto a tablet.....how would I do that. [04:27] almoxarife web servers and such? [04:28] almoxarife since servers are used with only the CLI? [04:28] ch33z: the gui is at the client not the server [04:28] almoxarife which is what i am using... [04:28] almoxarife the server.. [04:28] ch33z no need for a gui on a server, do all your stuff on another system and copy to the server [04:28] Anyone.....? [04:28] ch33z: what Feldegast said [04:29] R3ad put the iso onto a usb drive [04:29] No need to edit the mbr? [04:29] R3ad there are tolls that help you set up the usb drive [04:29] There's no post screen at startup, no boot options... [04:30] R3ad: first make sure the tablet is compatible at all in terms of hardware, have you dont this, yet? [04:30] ah [04:30] once you have that you can install from the usb drive to the tablet [04:30] almoxarife so i just need sftpd and thats it?

[04:30] R3ad that's IF you can boot from usb from the tablet [04:30] Fair enough. [04:31] Droid is just a pain in the ass and I want something more malleable. [04:31] Ah well. [04:31] it's also not linux [04:31] and you may have trouble with drivers [04:31] R3ad i am waiting for the Spark tablet [04:32] I was thinking I might have driver trouble.

I did try and install both GIMP and GIMPshop at the same time (Ubuntu 11.04). GIMPshop doesn't have a native binary available for Ubuntu 11.04, so I compiled it from s [04:34] R3ad: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#linuxsyswithoutgnu [04:34] The soark tablet loks interesting.

[04:35] hmmm [04:35] upgrade gimp? [04:35] is gimpshop still being developed? [04:35] Feldegast how exactly do i add the files from another server?

[05:05] anyway, about my video shearing question. [05:05] ubuntu 11.10 - There's shearing in video playback using VLC. I had this when I experimented with ubuntu before but it required fixes in compiz and other options. Is there a solution for shearing on a new install? [05:05] Uluru, Whether or not you've been circumised is irrelevant here in #ubuntu. Take it to ##hardware. === X-LP2 is now known as X-LP [05:08] hello?

[05:13] Yes.. unistall 11.10.. install 10.10.. like I'm about to do..... [05:13] dwade09_: try firing up something like cheese and see it its working [05:14] dwade09_, often those camera drivers can get confused and the camera is activated but nothing is trying to read the stream. have you tried rebooting [05:14] nug700: you think its a kernel regression? [05:14] escott: i did reboot [05:14] dwade09_, cold or warm? [05:14] escott: ? [05:15] dwade09_: all the way off [05:15] dwade09_, cold restart = full power off [05:15] IDK..

[05:17] dwade09_: start with lsusb. most webcams are listed there [05:17] with read/write? [05:17] nug700, i suspect the terminal errors are unrelated. more likely your config is such that there is no window manager handling the second display [05:18] !ntfs-3g | dwade09_ [05:18] dwade09_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [05:18] how would I fix that? [05:19] dwade09_, usually its installed already and you can just double click on the windows drive in your file manager [05:19] dwade09_: the best option is: don't. windows doesn't understand ext3/ext4 natively, and while there are ways to make it work (via freeofte) i would not recommend it. [05:19] escott: i think he wants it the other way round [05:19] Question: I have a file and I want to give it permissions so ANYONE can change/copy/etc. Right now I have ownership and I can't even copy it to my ftp folder on Ubuntu 11.10.

[05:20] bascotie, try making an archive with it, probably will work the easiest [05:20] do as escott said [05:20] bascotie, chmod o+rw filename [05:20] I can copy from Windows 7 to my Samba Share on Ubuntu but can't copy FROM Ubuntu to Windows 7 [05:21] ah sweet, thanks escott and tomreyn now to figure out how to get this web cam light off its bugging me [05:21] nug700, have you logged out and back in?

[05:57] #ubuntu-ru === pp7_ is now known as malkains [05:57] Olya: clarify the problem [05:57] dr_willis, she did a rm-rf [05:58] its just stupid!!! [05:58] time to learn the value of backups... [05:58] Why no normal prog for recover files on Linux!??!?! [05:59] dr_willis, deleted like a lot heh [05:59] When I plug in headphones or speakers into my headphone port, the led light on my laptops mute key turns on. Is there any way to fix this? === malkains is now known as malkauns [05:59] Olya: There's a TON of software which does that, you're refusing to try any we suggest though [05:59] I have some items in trash that are not going away , ho can I remove them from terminal ? [05:59] !trash | silv3r_m00n [05:59] silv3r_m00n: Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [05:59] what?!!? [05:59] testdisk not work [06:00] picrec bad not recover names [06:00] ext3grep hard [06:00] you may have to fix the names [06:00] Olya: It's not POSSIBLE to recover filenames, NOTHING will do that. It's possible in Windows because NTFS is plain stupid and doesn't delete files properly, so? [06:00] * theadmin is tired of repeating herself [06:01] OK, then since I got the run around, let me tell you I would still be using Ubuntu except it won't recognise 90% of the hardware I have, thats not a suggestion, thats a fact! So until you poeple stop making Ubuntu look pretty and start focusing on functionality it will always be just a novelty [06:01] You not undestand me? [06:01] get it fixed [06:01] I have names in it file! and adress too! === grepme is now known as NotproN [06:01] who you calling "you people " :>) [06:02] eiriksvin, thanks for the heads up. :) [06:02] eiriksvin: the hardware makers need to support Linux. many don't even try [06:02] how many ways one could add the jar file to the class path [06:02] Olya, it will not recover your file names [06:02] <_monk_> his inteligence is lolw [06:02] <_monk_> *low [06:02] Olya: Yes, it's hardly possible to understand what you say. Filenames are impossible to recover. How more clear can I make that? [06:02] CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/java/mysql.jar is one way? is there any other ways one could do thsi? [06:03] sdb5.ext3grep.stage2 in it file all names!!!

[06:05] !spoonfeed [06:05] Olya: why dont you make a test box to ply with your self on it [06:05] like a virtual sandbox [06:05] Olya: if you want to maximise your chances of recovery, unmount the drive and only mount it read only [06:05] unlce_rom: seen that in some Mini distros [06:06] WRONG it's not up to the hardware makers, if you go to any local American Chain store, and buy a laptop theres bound to be stuff thats not going to be recognised... The poeple that make Ubuntu seem to do fine with an expensive brand, but no normal human is going to buy a laptop... BTW it's not upto hardware companies to support Linux, it's up to linux to find a way to work with whatys available, thats why it FAILS [06:06] im not use him [06:06] thx [06:06] well i have ram disk made- i can load different stuuff to it. figured id ask b4 trying though [06:06] u test command? [06:06] sudo ext3grep /dev/sdb5 --restore-file name_of_folder [06:06] please [06:06] eiriksvin: you are wrong. [06:07] Olya, you understand that command [06:07] sure [06:07] but it not recover my files but it make 2 files [06:07] one file with names [06:08] why second step?

[06:09] dr_willis: She wants us to delete some files and recover them with this tool I guess... [06:09] do it please [06:09] Olya: stop pasting that command in here, we can not test it. [06:09] Olya: is /dev/sdb5 the partition you need to recover from? [06:09] inot have space for image === Gskellig|away is now known as gskellig|mobile [06:10] Olya: please do not tell others to try out code that you are not uaing [06:10] that is messed up [06:10] test in a sandbox [06:10] i use it!! [06:10] before you tell anyone to put scriping code ointo there box. that is rude and careless [06:11] and now u too pleae [06:11] sudo ext3grep /dev/sdb5 --restore-file name_of_folder [06:11] before you tell anyone to put scriping code ointo there box. that is rude and careless [06:11] my ubuntu corrupted, saying can;t load X., how to recover it ?

[06:13] that command wouldent work on my cellphone anyway ;) [06:13] Olya: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit [06:13] ? [06:14] rabbi1: you could start by pastbining the error mesages from 'startx' and/or the xorg log giles [06:14] files [06:14] i not have pastebin [06:14] install it.. or cut/paste it to the pastebin site. [06:15] Olya: do you know which partition has all the deleted files? [06:15] dr_willis: thats a different laptop, not which i am using it [06:15] command | pastebinit [06:15] dr_willis: unable to get to UI only, just command prompt [06:15] sure [06:15] sdb5 [06:15] i don't even know the version :( [06:15] rabbi1: and error messages from 'startx' and the xorg log files may help [06:16] Olya: sudo umount /dev/sdb5 [06:16] Olya, how much info you lose?

[06:17] its Ubuntu 11.10 [06:18] Olya: ok, so you lost 50Gb of small files? [06:18] dr_willis: ok, how can i copy it in pendrive ...? [06:18] its not detecting the pendrive [06:18] damo not only small [06:18] any idea how to fix that? [06:18] piliakis: try the cups web interface. Its possible the printer is not seen./supported or needs extra drivers. Checked the cups.org and linuxprinting.org site to see if its supported [06:19] but small too [06:19] I reinstalled all cups packages [06:19] ext3grep is good prog but how use? :( [06:19] rabbi1: mount the pendrive, copy files over. or see if you can get connected to the internet via the cli [06:19] it was detected before that idiot messed up cups :( [06:19] Olya: how big is /dev/sdb5 [06:19] dr_willis: trying, btb [06:19] *brb [06:19] ~105 Gb [06:20] bbl. got a job.

[06:27] Olya: its safer not to touch the actual partition [06:27] and why chromiu use 100 persent of CPU? [06:27] Olya: what is important is to recover the files correct? [06:28] wow [06:28] yes [06:28] Olya: focus on that for now, the method used is not important as long as you achieve the goal. [06:28] damo sorry what? [06:28] idleone ok [06:28] damo i cant use it?

[07:33] !wine | claudia [07:33] claudia: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [07:33] wired [07:33] thanks [07:34] claudia, " wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks " and then "sh winetricks" should give you the options [07:35] Ceuse: i still prefer macosx as my host os and run ubuntu in a virtual machine when i feel the need, its the only OS that lets me play music without glitches and compile 2 kernels at once in 2 different vms [07:37] darkorical: this should start the network: sudo /etc/init.d/networking start [07:37] Oer: The Ubuntu wine package includes winetricks by default, just run "winetricks" [07:38] theadmin, great! thnx [07:38] ok i have ubuntu 11.10 and when i plug in my headphones the outside speakers still play sound, how do i fix this? [07:39] Dwade09: you checked at askubuntu.com to see if anyone else has written up a fix/guide/work arounds.. [07:39] Dwade09, might be a patch you need to apply to alsa [07:39] dr_willis: no i have not, i did not know there was one. [07:40] i see similer sound issue questions asked here about 2+ times a week [07:41] darkorical: if that's not enough, follow it up by: sudo ifconfig eth0 inet dhcp [07:41] dr_willis, most of these issues have been already fixed upstream but havent made it into ubuntu yet [07:42] Dwade09: click on the sound indicator, select Sound Settings, select the Output tab, then choose the speakers from the Connector menu. [07:42] then you can turn it down alone, the headphones won't be affected. [07:42] tomreyn: you're mixing ifconfig with /etc/network/interfaces syntax. that won't do [07:43] imgx64: i did what you said but it messes with both. [07:43] its one bar, [07:43] dameo22 well i guess will do that too :) thanks for the advice. perhaps another time i have a pc where linux is more suitable ;) [07:43] Hi all! [07:43] llutz_: right, thanks. it's late... [07:43] hi Olya [07:44] you can try a pc from system76 [07:44] Dwade09: what options do you have in the "Connector" menu? I have "Analog Speakers" and "Analog Headphones". [07:44] darkorical: if yu were still listening then scracth that last line [07:44] hi! [07:44] imgx64: o see analog output and analog headphones, [07:45] Dwade09: And yes, it's one bar, but it only applies to the currently selected connector. [07:45] I finally said fuggit and typed rm /etc/init.d/calibre and rm /etc/init.d/calibre-server then rebooted [07:45] came back up just fine [07:46] a service like that shouldent hang the whole system. I wonder if theres not some deeper issues going on. [07:46] be back in a few. [07:46] hi [07:46] Hi [07:46] does anyone know if I can get wine working on a powerpc system? [07:47] imgx64: i do not see analog speakers just analog output and analog headphones, when i have analog output on and turn it down it does both headphones and outside speakers. [07:47] they added arm support, which I'm hopping makes the task easier [07:47] and same with analog headphones imgx64 [07:47] ShapeShifter499: short answer: no [07:47] Hi! I am beginning to use the terminal more these days. So, how do I tweak gnome terminal to display the commands that I type in green and the output of the commands in white color. Thank you. [07:48] Dwade09: Oh okay. Sorry then, I don't have a solution. [07:48] vagra: what terminal? [07:49] crizzy: couldn't I run something that would emulate a arm or intel system, not a virtual machine, but the bare-bones just to run the unsupported binary ? [07:49] I remember I could do something like that with qemu but I never could figure out how === gustav- is now known as beerbro [07:50] there was a mac project back in the day to port wine to ppc but it never really worked / get anywhere [07:50] somsip: The terminal where I type the commands such as "ls", "man" etc. I want "ls" to be in green color and the output of "ls" in white.

[08:10] hey, is it possible to upgrade totem movie player to 3.2.1 if i am using ubuntu natty? i like v3.2.1 better, as i have used it in fedora 16, but natty only has totem 2.32.0 ...how would one go about getting the later version? i did see it on softpedia, but i am not sure how to go about installing it [08:10] greenit: I'm not on the Buntu right now but I think if you open up the Lens and start typing "flash" or "adobe" it should pop up [08:10] AirborneCalavry: version, that is. like, up to 11.10 from 11.04 or something [08:11] is there a gnome-shell setting or extension that will bring up notifications on the left instead of the right? [08:11] werder, nope, doesn't show.... probably i have to install an extra program from the repos?

Then I would suggest chosing a different mirror from the update manager thingy, refreshing all sources, then trying it again. source: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+question/179039 [08:12] somsip ok thanks for that :) [08:12] greenit: it might be in the repos. I thought it installed itself when I installed flash but maybe not. [08:14] there seems to be a bug with evolution mail client with MAPI [08:14] Gskellig: honestly, if you consider XFCE being minimalistic, you won't get happy with all those alternativcs mentioned [08:14] is there any workaround for that [08:14] I can not send mails over Exchange [08:14] llutz_, i know nothing about minimal wm's lol. I thought xfce was minimalistic [08:15] Mailserver question. In /etc/postfix/main.cf I have [relayhost = smtp.someisp.no] and everything works fine. I have to use this relayhost since my ISP has closed port 25. My ISP tells me that if I dont want to use their relayhost I have to configure my mailserver to use a ssl port like port 465. Then I can remove the relayhost option. Do anyone know where I do this like which files to edit and [08:15] is this possible if I dont set up my server as a DNS Server? [08:15] I'm looking at fluxbox now [08:15] greenit: it looks like the program is called "adobe-flash-properties-gtk" [08:15] where can I set the privilege to write on user directory?

I mean I canot access to user directory. [08:17] North: what user is 'I' and what user dir are you trying to access. For example, on my PC I am 'mark' and I cannot access user 'kim' by design. But I can access 'mark' and 'media'.

[08:45] im having an insanely crazy print issue - i think im going to smash it/and/or my computer [08:47] mjhszig, put it on Youtube if you go that route. :))) [08:47] does anyone know why "runlevel" would return "unknown" ? [08:48] !runlevel | eyy1sup [08:48] eyy1sup: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [08:48] When my system starts up, my eth0 connection gets an IP and reports connected, but there's no traffic going through, I always have to disconnect and reconnect. Anyone got any ideas? I have wicd running at startup, and I also define a static ip in interfaces file. I've tried disabling wlan0, but that doesn't help, because I thought wicd was connecting wlan0 and ... [08:48] ubottu: so, since it uses Upstart, seeing "Unknown" is normal because there's nothing in /etc/inittab? [08:48] eyy1sup: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:49] !Upstart [08:49] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.

[08:51] if anyone had a answer* [08:51] check askubuntu.com also [08:52] crary: you want Chinese what now? [08:52] werder, lol [08:52] I set up a VPN connection from ubuntu to a windows server , the network manager reports the connection is active, I can see myself on the list of the server, but the connection does not work ....when browsing the network I get "failed to retrieve the share list from the server" ....what can I do ??? [08:52] !cn | crary [08:52] crary: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [08:53] parapan: can you ping the machines === CtrlAltDel is now known as turbomettwurst [08:53] dr_willis: nope [08:54] parapan: check routeing "route -n", your defalut-route should point to the vpn-servers IP [08:54] default* [08:54] dr_willis: cannot ping any internal IP, but the server reports I'm connected .....maybe something related with editing the smb.conf ???? samba is installed , is working on my home network just fine ... [08:55] parapan: windows firewall would be my first guess. [08:55] Following an update, USB disks no longer show in Unity's panel. Can I get them back? [08:56] if ping fails, id think its firewal. or not a samba issue [08:56] llutz_: the command is giving me the external IP of the VPN server ...and also an internal IP address ...guess that's correct [08:57] dr_willis: in what way ? what to check on the firewall ??? other connections are working and active .....all of them are windows clients anyway .... [08:58] parapan: i always turn off the windows firewall [08:59] I have the problem that everything freezes for 1 second, approx every 30 secs.. googling for that it seems like it can be a symptom for many different things, but none of the solutions i've found seems to work.. what is a good starting point for trying to locate the problem? [09:00] I contact the evolution support guys [09:00] they told me to upgrade to 3.2.3 [09:00] mickepaprika, when did it start happening, any changes to you're system before your issue? [09:00] actually the distro should update it [09:00] whom should I contact here? [09:01] *not really a linux problem, just throwing this out there...* -Pinguy/OpenOffice.org spreadsheet/Brother printer : everything working fine, until i hit Print on file X.odt, then computer sends file to printer, printer light comes on and then nothing, but ANY other file i open, or new file i create will print. so i copied only the text into new document, it prints, copied only formating into new document, it prints, so i copy all of [09:01] file into a new file , now it wont print again! [09:02] just thought maybe someone out there with a Brother print had a similar issue, or had an idea... [09:02] dr_willis: OK, got that but, if the firewall will be active would I have the server reported that I'm connected and active ???? [09:03] can someone help me with setting up a swap partition? I am getting an error. [09:03] shadowe989: it happened after the upgrade to 11.10 [09:03] Ranthor_Harwath: precise has 3.2.3. find a backport-repo, a ppa or just build it from source [09:03] parapan: it coulf be blocking the ping test [09:04] shadowe989: i upgraded from 10.04 (i think) so i skipped some versions.. so don't know exactly which version that is the bad guy [09:04] dr_willis: our admin says it is not the case ...he suggested me to ping the internal IP's [09:05] mickepaprika, sometimes upgrades vs fresh install can be buggy. I'd pop in the live disk and see if it works without installing. If it does work then back up your data and reformat clean. === marnold is now known as Guest47811 [09:05] shadowe989: already tried that... it's a fresh install, and the problem still exists [09:05] Ranthor_Harwath: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/ [09:05] * wh1zz0 guys please I am trying to ssh into a port 333 but it doesnt let me.. This is the command I used... ssh -p 333 dave@hostip Is there another option that makes this not work? When I use my windows box (putty) and I change the port field from 22 to 333) it connects once. But from my ubuntu it doesnt cannot. Please help [09:06] dr_willis: however ....I've done the route -n command and it returned the external and the internal IP of the VPN server .....so the ping to internal IP 192.168.1.150 is working ....but no other IP respond to ping ... [09:06] shadowe989: the problem is also appearant when I run from the live disk [09:07] mickepaprika, hmm I take it, you've updated and installed you're graphics driver? [09:07] can anyone help me with a swap file partition? [09:07] wh1zz0: do you have set any iptables rules denying outgoing 333? [09:07] llutz_: None at all [09:08] does anyone else hear me? [09:08] a swap file, or a swap partition, [09:08] shadowe989: yes i guess the graphics driver is new, i haven't done any explicit installation, using the one that got installed by the installation process. i have an intel graphics card [09:08] crary: what's up? [09:08] llutz_: Last time I did ssh into another port other than the defaut 22... I think I added a different option.. version or something, but can't remember... Help would be apppreciated [09:09] llutz_: Can't remember the exact syntax/command [09:09] wh1zz0: "telnet hostip 333" does it show something like "OpenSSh ...blahblah" [09:09] dr_willis...I made the swap file already when I install 11.10 but gparted doesn't calls it unknown. [09:09] wh1zz0: ssh -p333 hostip is correct and shouldn't need any other options [09:10] diuneigh: a swap partition. you mean? [09:10] dr willis: yes.. it is not on. [09:10] mickepaprika, hows you're cpu usage looking in "System Monitor"? is it hitting 100%? [09:10] diuneigh: try the proper swapon command. [09:11] dr_willis: what is it? I havent' had luck googling an answer. [09:11] llutz_: Yes .. this is what is shows to be precise: http://paste.ubuntu.com/840166/ [09:11] diuneigh: sudo swapon /dev/sdaX [09:11] Question about Qsynth/Fluidsynth: I can play my music composition ok through Rosegarden + Qsynth, but when I try to convert it to Midi, I lose all the percussion.

[09:12] shadowe989: so nothing strange there as far as i can see? [09:12] diuneigh: you'll need to edit fstab if it isn't mounting on boot [09:12] diuneigh: fstab entry in /etc/fstab [09:12] llutz_: I tried exactly as you stated and what i usually use but keep getting this error: Protocol major versions differ: 2 vs. 1 [09:13] werder: what do I edit in fstab? I followed this site and it didn't work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [09:13] wh1zz0: try "ssh -2 -p333 user@hostip" [09:13] Dr. willis: see msg to werder above.

[09:14] mickepaprika, Ahh okay... that looks good. very odd... I assumed you was running gnome 3 and was taking a shot that gnome 3 was the reason you're lagging but I do not know much about xfce so I am unable to help. :( [09:14] llutz_: If not, please how can I change it [09:14] wh1zz0: iirc not since some years [09:14] boba88: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo [09:15] hi all,i have problems with my nvidia card.it is a g105m.

Or is it because the remote computer uses version 1? [09:17] hi, how to forbidden telnet and ftp service when system booting up ? [09:17] werder: same error with swap off. [09:18] llutz_: When you say edit the versions, are you talking about edditing the sshd_config file in the remote hostip im connecting to? [09:18] diuneigh: what does gparted say about the partition? [09:18] hello how does windows+W work? [09:18] in the gnome [09:18] wh1zz0: yes. you might check ~/.ssh/config on the clients too, maybe some set "Protocol 1" there [09:18] hello a;; [09:18] llutz_: Because from what I can see..

[09:51] CaptAnon: thats a question pointing out that you dont like unity. which is ok - but its not a helpful question ;) [09:51] I have Windows on /sda1 and Linux on sdb1. GRUB is installed on sda (but finds stuff in sdb1) [09:51] werder? you dont accept pm? i just tried... [09:51] llutz_: thanks. it is working perfectly now after adding the alias. So ubuntu/postfix doesn't allow any direct mail to root? as security measure? [09:51] CaptAnon: there are alternatives like gnome3, xfce etc in case unity is not the solution you like [09:51] CaptAnon: dozens of guides out there. see webupd8 and askubuntu.com [09:51] I remember getting ubuntu for the first time about 2 or 3 years ago, and the main think I liked was that I could customise everything, and now that is gone. and I don't know what is left [09:52] jatt dont use postfix just mail command? [09:52] Marvin_: sorry I'm on irssi and I still don't know how to work this thing [09:52] yes I use mail to test mails [09:52] I want file edit view menus on the window not somewhere else [09:52] jatt: yes, in general root should never read mails. they always should be forwarded to a common useraccount. its a security thing [09:52] MTA is postfix tho [09:52] Hi,cannot download SPE ( stani's Pthyon Editor) or any other Python IDE off Software centre, Cannot connect to Internet and i have changed sources,and keep saying after not trusted packages [09:52] Marvin_: am I not accepting pms? [09:52] jatt : if it is local client, use mail command [09:52] oki, but then tell me how you mark my name at least, i always get a pop up when you message me [09:52] llutz: alright, thanks again [09:53] no...its says pm's are not allowed to this user [09:53] jatt: postfix should have asked you at installation about this [10:00] unity is a work in progress.. [10:00] AdvoWork: but if that is a usergroup, you better create a new group and add all users you need to have access to this group. chgrp directory to this new group too [10:01] 12.# gains a lot of things. patience. [10:01] yeah unity / gnome 3 is new stuff... give it time for the developers to switch over. === novikane is now known as Guest9987 [10:01] Ranthor_Harwath, I agree, it's like they took the bad stuff from windows and the bad stuff from ubuntu and mashed them together [10:01] take that verizon, got past your irc block [10:02] wait wtf just happened with all the users joining? Does everyone just script to join at 10 AM GMT? [10:02] hi all,i have problems with my nvidia card.it is a g105m. I tryed to install ppa (xswat) to upgrade automaticcaly drivers but when install driver current, after grub the screen stands black. So i remove ppa and now driver nouveau is running, but when i try to install drivers proprietry with jockey it crashs during the installation and after reboot screen is black after grub...what can i do?if it is possible i would [10:02] latest video driver.thanks [10:02] !netsplit | werder [10:02] werder: netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [10:02] yeah netsplits happen [10:02] CaptAnon: I checked the documentation, but can't be comfortable with the unity [10:02] dr_willis, Why did they remove gnome 2, that worked great, and if you like unity things you could add docky which also worked, but unity is just horrible, it has no redeeming features [10:03] Ben64: thanks mate! === ryan is now known as Guest88067 [10:03] gnome devs killed gnome2 CaptAnon === root is now known as Guest41643 [10:04] I spend time learning how to use gnome how to set things up they way I like it, and then they just change it at the drop of a hat. [10:04] you can use gnome 2 on Ubuntu 11.10. Theres some tutorials on google. [10:04] Gnome is just a small part of ubuntu, it can be replaced like anything else. === Guest88067 is now known as TheAncientGoat [10:05] What is the main part of ubuntu? [10:05] gnome2 had issues also.. but thats basically OT. [10:05] CaptAnon: the point in sw is always - it will never stay forever the way you learn it at a certain point in time ;) [10:05] CaptAnon, the kernel and apt-get [10:05] sw? fidel [10:05] and there are tons of alternatives to unity - and many ppl might even dislike the things unity brought ... but thats the way it is. use it - or get something else [10:06] sw = software [10:06] ok apt-get works very well, pity there are no good programs to install with it [10:06] ranting gets you no where [10:06] CaptAnon, define good programs [10:07] apt-get is really nice [10:07] yeah [10:07] ones that are easy to use not buggy and serve there purpose [10:07] CaptAnon: stop trolling [10:07] everything on the software center is on apt-get... software center is basically a frontend for apt-get. [10:07] CaptAnon: well then use another os and ...yeah stop trolling ;) [10:07] * dr_willis waits for an actual support question. [10:08] how do i automatically send a message to someone on irc when they come online ? [10:08] I've been using ubuntu for the last 3 years, but unity has really really annoyed me and now I cant go back. [10:08] damo22: depends on the irs client. or use msgserv service [10:08] CaptAnon, you can go back. Google how to install gnome 2 on it. [10:08] gnome2 is dead. time to move on. [10:09] CaptAnon: dude you can jump away from unity in several ways [10:09] we even mentioned those ways already [10:09] theres some gnome2ish thangs for gnome-shell in the works :) [10:09] okok, [10:09] will try [10:09] CaptAnon, Linux is a modular OS. If you don't like it, change it. [10:10] dr_willis, how do i use msgserv [10:11] /msg msgserv help or was it memoserv [10:11] people tend to overlook it. [10:12] shadowe989: surprising news in a time people change distro because they dislike the default wallpaper :( [10:12] its memoserv ;) [10:12] Helllo [10:12] why have PDFs different icons ? [10:13] Sometime its Adobes A, [10:13] thumbnails.. perhaps [10:13] sometime its a miniature [10:13] llutz, hahaha [10:13] whatdo you mean dr_willis ? [10:13] if file is so big it uses the Adobe icon instead. to save loading a big file [10:13] less then 10mb -- thumbnail. over 10mb = use adobe icon [10:13] i think its 10mb. [10:14] its the same for other files also. its a gnome file manager setting [10:14] How many here are software developers? [10:14] mine are all smaller than 10 Mo [10:15] and the As are not smaller === Varazir_ is now known as Varazir [10:15] may be 5mb or 1 mb.. i dont recall the # [10:15] tralre: i develop software, in my own tme [10:15] damo22: if you don't mind me asking, where are you from? [10:15] smaller A as in less resources needed. [10:16] i want to print a PDF, but the print dialog is too large (x-axis/height), so the OK button is not on the screen anymore (netbook) [10:16] i have a 5Mo PDF with miniature and a 1.8Mo with Adobes A [10:16] (..seriously?) [10:16] hoijui: use alt-click to drag the window up... [10:16] JLuc: does alt + drag not work? [10:16] see im from the US, but i want to find a software developer job in Germany [10:17] hoijui: just press enter [10:17] yes it changes them into miniature overclucker [10:17] If I wanted wine 1.3.36 rather than 1.3.28, (which is in the repo) would I have to build from source? [10:17] Hello I am losing windows on the workspace [10:17] , does not work.. it does not allow me to pull the dialog out on top, over the border [10:17] overclucker! a hyperactive chicken? [10:17] then its just because the system has forgotten to miniature them ! [10:18] is there any other way to find it other than the alt tab [10:18] werder: chicken with increased cluck rate [10:18] AMOF i'm not sure i prefer miniature... [10:18] llutz_, also does not work, cause the element on focus is the "choose printer" drop-box, not the ok button [10:18] dr_willis, he means modal dialog bound to its parent [10:18] since there is a lot of different file types in that folder [10:19] new "feature" of metacity [10:19] and the red A is clearyly visible [10:19] (btw, i am using xubuntu) [10:19] i mean.. the xfce desktop thing [10:19] hoijui: write a bugreport, they should redesign their dialog-boxes [10:19] to whom? [10:19] JLuc: alt srag should minimize it too, but isn't the point to click a button? you maximize it again afterwards [10:20] hoijui, and you cannot drag it by holding down alt and dragging by empty regions in it? [10:20] you know.. i have to print my pdf ;-) [10:20] *drag [10:20] hoijui, you can press enter to print [10:20] Lint, ahhh that works :D thanks [10:20] damo22, no i can not, cause ok is not default on focus [10:21] hoijui, tab to different focus [10:21] i tried draggign with alt+tittlebar, that did not work [10:21] * Lint hates clueless gtk developers [10:21] yeah i can tab the focus [10:21] but i have to do that blindly [10:21] hoijui: lpr foo.pdf [10:21] every widget library that allows dialogs larger than screen should be shot [10:22] it works for me now, using alt+drag on an empty part of the dialog [10:22] compiz has a way to shrink a window down also.. but i dont know th ekey combo. and i bet its not on by default [10:22] scale plugin perhaps? [10:22] If I wanted wine 1.3.36 rather than 1.3.28, (which is in the repo) would I have to build from source? [10:22] Lint: please keep your comments out [10:22] alt-click-anywhere drag.. should move.. [10:22] i cant use commadn line tool, cause the pdf is shown in a browser, and has stuff in it which i can not save (only print) [10:22] well.. problem is notw solved for me.. bnut.. [10:22] that is surely no general solution [10:23] i use the alt-click drag thing on the netboolk all the time. [10:23] no user would figure that out by himself [10:23] hoijui, wget httpofpdf ; lpr pdf [10:23] on the software center the comments say that compiz causes 11.10 to crash, can anyone confirm this? [10:23] hmm.. yeah it woudl have been handy in other situations too [10:23] ive had similer issues on windows. [10:23] I haven't needed alt+drag since i changed to a tiling wm [10:23] 'kdesizer' on windows gives it a similer alt-click-drag feature === mint is now known as c31r2g [10:24] that should be an extra window button (next to close, minimize,mazimize) [10:24] badly coded apps/dialogs are bad. :) [10:24] where.. when the window size can not be changed, and does not fit on the screen, one can force-add a scrollbar === Guest30488 is now known as faitz [10:25] well.. thanks all of you :-) [10:25] years of computer science and r&d and GUI design,, and we still have cruddy dialog boxs way to many times. [10:25] mm [10:25] I remember some better on my Amiga then what i see on windows and linux at times. [10:25] * dr_willis is old. [10:27] Hello [10:27] :D [10:27] hello :-) [10:27] developers should get over the notion that windows must have a fixed minimum size [10:27] windows is especially horrible with some of their windows having a tiny MAXIMUM size [10:27] like for setting environment variables [10:27] * tralre shakes head [10:28] yeah... problem is that many devs today use dual-24-inch screens when deving [10:28] maybe [10:28] I use a 46" LED for deving [10:28] Does anyone here managed to connect to a virtualbox "internal network" using 11.10 ? [10:28] O_o [10:28] YOU are to blame! [10:28] me too! [10:28] i never watch tv. bought an hdtv for computer [10:29] lolcat^, what is your native resolution [10:29] hey, I've encountered a strange problem - grub installs fine, but my laptop won't boot from hard drive, but when I boot from live CD and then select boot from first hard drive, grub's menu appears without problems, does anybody know what could be the problem? [10:29] damo22: 1080p [10:29] 70hz [10:30] lolcat^, what is 1080p in pixels [10:30] lukasz_: likey cause would be grub not properly installing to mbr [10:30] Or, if noone got that precious knowledge, i'm looking for a way to reset networking the hardest way possible (networking restart doesn't work) [10:30] damo22: 1920x1080 I belive [10:31] I think I removed the ubuntu software center O.o [10:31] mr_pause: Pull the plug, and restart [10:31] mr_pause: um... reboot?

[11:20] he can use a livecd [11:20] camer0n: by the way, why would you want to "m /etc/*" [11:20] gener1c: have tried googling, but i apparently need to limit to single user and cannot perform the command: "sudo: unknown uid: 1000" [11:20] and cp the /etc file from it [11:21] Ben64: oops, "rm etc/* [11:21] gener1c: that will only partially work [11:21] " [11:21] gener1c: that won't work for most things [11:21] thats better than reinstall tho :P [11:21] camer0n: well why were you running that as root? [11:22] on the other had its not [11:22] on a second thought* [11:22] camer0n: you can try to use a testdisk live-cd and use photorec to get your files back. [11:22] it will be missing shadow, group files and stuff [11:22] Ben64: some how i a folder got copied to a weird place, and in the folder, there was a copy of the /etc. i was just trying to restore it back. i think a script has gone awry [11:22] won't be able to log in as his user anymore [11:22] anyways does anybody here have a clue on how to make file quotas work on proftpd?! [11:22] Can I request you to share a conky script with me? [11:23] gener1c: it is not free i guess :) [11:23] camer0n: well in the future be very careful with sudo and root permissions [11:23] i dont understand the topic? [11:23] llutz_:will photorec restore any file? [11:23] camer0n: yes [11:23] Ben64: yeah, it was a slip in typing. [11:23] camer0n: at least, it tries [11:23] Can I request you to share a conky script with me? [11:24] llutz_: i assume it's a once of as i imagine i won't be able to log back in after i shut down? i am currently only connected via ssh [11:24] let me know if i am in the wrong chat plz. have an ENGTS450 graphic card, but when installed i get no gui. it hangs for a bit and then tells me no chipset was found. how do i correct this? [11:24] camer0n: true [11:25] Can I request you to share a conky script with me? [11:25] i have a raid setup for other data.. how do i ensure that i don't lose it? [11:25] camer0n: did you do rm -fr or just rm? [11:25] Ben64: just rm [11:26] ben: camer0n@soap:~$ sudo rm /etc* [11:26] Ben64: camer0n@soap:~$ sudo rm /etc* [11:26] btw, nobody else run that ^ [11:27] oops... it was /etc/* [11:27] camer0n: you can restore from livecd, then manually fix shadow and groups [11:27] Ben64: is that using the photorec that was mentioned before by llutz ? [11:28] camer0n: nah, just pop in livecd and copy /etc/* over [11:28] Hi I have two Ubuntu 11.10 desktops connected via Wired LAN through a router but I am getting a transfer speed on only 4 MB/S :( The pc's are only 15 feet away...connecting through nautilus FTP server [11:29] kapz: is it sata? and which files [11:29] how to mount a pendrive in terminal ?

[11:34] my aims is to have a rock solid recording system [11:34] and a rock solid video editing suite [11:34] onasis, in my opinion you cant get better than protools and all the waves plugins but you cant run them in linux [11:34] kapz: on both nodes? and I assume you are transfering big files, not some little conf. files [11:35] damo22 yes i agree i have a protools hd system running with a hackintosh [11:35] onasis, i hope you are running the vanilla kernel [11:35] Ranthor_Harwath, they are MOVIE files so yeah they are big [11:35] but it is obvious to me that everything that osx is, it has got from linux [11:35] hi, i have AWUS036H wifi card USB, when i'm connecting to AP for few seconds i download at full speed but the the speed drop and remain low speed , is there a way to set the driver to work at max speed? [11:35] onasis: it is freebsd renamed [11:36] yes, i run myhack [11:36] kapz: maximum speed on 100mbit is like 12 MB per seconds [11:36] how can i recover X from the terminal ? [11:36] kapz: it should be ftp client/server related or there is a bottleneck on the disks or network.

I've run LSPCI and LSHW and it shows the modem (I tried with a USB modem and it showed it there also) But I dont really know how to use it to dial. GnomePPP shows Cannot open /dev/modem no such modem or directory. and when I enter its setup and get it to auto detect the modem it says it cant find the modem.

Is there any other tool to resolve the names (without going up to samba 3.6 or something) [12:08] kapz: that's how gnome shell works [12:08] If it can print using tp-link, why it can't see my hd? [12:08] kapz: minimise/maximise buttons are not there [12:09] ikonia, but I have seen them on other distro... [12:09] Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu on my new netbook and I'd like to encrypt a couple of partitions, /tmp, /home, /swap etc. I was thinking of using luks with cryptsetup etc. is that a supported way of doing things in Ubuntu? [12:09] kapz: thats how its meant to be I think. Its been like that on mine from day one. You dont need to minimize anything and you double click the task bar to maximise [12:09] kapz: you're not using another distro [12:10] ikonia, I am talking about MInt, which is based on ubuntu, I have ssen them in it [12:10] what exactly is the difference between "gnome shell" and gnome? couldn't he just apt-get the gnome meta-package and fix this? [12:10] kapz: mint is different [12:10] anyone? [12:10] Hi [12:10] gnome shell is the visual made from gnome team for gnome [12:10] kapz: it doesn't matter what other distros are doing, gnome shell does not have maximise/minimise to bar functionality as part of it's configuration, that is not how gnome shell is designed to work [12:10] gnome shell is a 'shell' that runs on top of the gnome3 enviroment [12:10] i have a question.. [12:10] Anyone with a clue? :) [12:10] got it thanks. :) [12:10] hey anybody can help me? [12:10] ikonia, ok I agree with that, but if they are there then can I enable them in ubuntu as well? [12:10] MisterPet: just ask [12:11] yeah no need to ask to ask. [12:11] kapz: mint is a diferent distro with different desktop setup [12:11] i need know a "easy" language, to start learn . example assembly , C . [12:11] gparted recognizes my usb external hd's size as 10% of its real size...any idea why is that hapenning?

[12:11] MisterPet: try asking in #defocus ##programming or ##linux [12:11] yes [12:11] ikonia, I am talking about gnome-shell on mint...but anyway is there any workaround to bring them back? Thanks [12:11] thx for our repply [12:11] MisterPet, Python is what I started on then expanded onto C. OT sorry. [12:12] kapz: ask mint [12:12] I am on ubuntu! [12:12] kapz: ask mint how they did it [12:12] kapz: then see if that software/technique is compatible with Ubuntu [12:12] lua is a languaage based in linux? [12:13] oh ok.. I doubt if I can ask Q about other distros on Mint channel... [12:13] MisterPet: try asking in #defocus ##programming or ##linux [12:13] MisterPet: Try python :) [12:13] MisterPet: this channel is focused on offering ubuntu-specific help [12:13] Ok ikonia. [12:13] kapz: you're not asking about other distros [12:13] kapz: you're asking how mint uses maximise/minimse with gnome shell [12:13] more or less - thats why this channel isnt the best place to ask programming-focused questions [12:13] kapz: that is relevent to mint [12:13] Sorry. [12:13] thx for help ^ [12:13] ok thanks ikonia :) [12:13] MisterPet: it's not a problem [12:14] MisterPet: keep checking channel topics before you start asking ;) [12:14] good luck with your search [12:14] Ok. [12:14] Heres a question, How do I work out what port my 56k modem is on... (For example) /dev/ttys0 [12:14] its my first time in IRC, sorry for any. [12:14] Hello, how can i change bluetooth dial up networking apn on my ubuntu 11.04? [12:14] CJRamze: its a real serial modem? [12:14] MisterPet: it's not a problem at all [12:14] Its PCI [12:14] lsof [12:15] CJRamze: you could as root do a 'echo "ATDT" > /dev/ttys0 and see if the phone picks up. [12:15] CJRamze: i dont recall much else from my serial modem days. [12:15] Dr_willis, Thanks I'll try that now [12:16] dont do a 'ATDT 1111' :) that can call the emergancy services. [12:17] You may want to check out other AT codes for the old modems. [12:18] Dr_willis, Its a PCI one. Basically I cant get Ubuntu to see it in the networking window so I tried Ppp config in terminal to setup the connection manually. It scanned for the PCI modem and couldn't find it so now I have to manually select the modem port in /dev/ [12:19] ATZ: Reset, ATA: Answer, ATH/+++: Hangup, ATDT $number: Dial Tone, ATDP $number: Dial Pulse. That is as far as my memory goes. [12:20] hi, i've tried to customize vim with a colorscheme and I've kind of broke it, then i've used: sudo apt-get remove vim, and vim-tiny and sudo apt-get install vim, but now i have just plain vim, no colorschemes at all [12:20] hi 2 all [12:20] hey. can anyone help me in installing unity? [12:20] any help on how to restore vim with colorschemes? [12:20] ZeusCool: explain how you tried to customize vim *exactly* [12:20] ZeusCool: no idea how you broke it, did you edit vimrcm or use :colorscheme [12:21] vimc* [12:21] vimrc [12:21] :s [12:21] donbro, I use Bluetooth GPRS, but it's very unreliable. [12:21] oops :D [12:21] I've edited vimrc, and changed desert.vim to somethingeles.vim [12:22] i removed unity and replaced it with gnome shell. Now when i want to switch back to unity apt-get install unity installs unity but i cannot find any softwares in dash [12:22] after some perl errors appeared, i've changed it back to desert.vim (the colorscheme) and still got the errors [12:22] so I figured out an uninstall / install would restore it [12:22] ZeusCool: you're sure you made no other change? Pastebin your vimrc and the errorsl [12:22] prasad_, can't we have both Unity and Gnome-shell and choose between them at login? Any advantage to removing Unity? [12:23] prasad_: reinstall the 'ubuntu-desktop' package perhaps. [12:23] 11.10+ you can have unity and gnome shell both installed and pick from the login screen. [12:23] ZeusCool: after you uninstall vim, rm -rf /etc/vim [12:23] then reinstall [12:24] Gentoo64 >> I've done that [12:24] how can use gnome shell but not unity, I really dont like unity [12:24] melvincv, there is no use in removing unity, but as i could not get a few things working in unity, i decided to remove it after a few days. now the new lenses are looking cool, and i want to get back [12:24] Ranthor_Harwath: what version of ubuntu you got? [12:24] Duh...gnome-tweak-tool was the answer....! [12:24] in my /etc/vim i don't have anylonger vimrc, but i have gvimrc [12:24] ZeusCool: you're editing the system-wide vimrc in /etc/vim/ ? Why aren't you using your user's local ~/.vimrc? [12:25] Ranthor_Harwarth to install gnome shell, you can find it in ubuntu software centre [12:25] jrib >> Because I didn't know that :) [12:25] prasad_, Are you on precise pangolin? [12:25] ZeusCool: in the future, do that. For now, purge and then reinstall vim-common [12:25] dr_willis 11.04 i think [12:26] no [12:26] ZeusCool: actually just purge vim-common and then install your full vim package of choice (since this will get removed) [12:26] Ranthor_Harwath: if you want to use unity. you really should upgrade to 11.10 - unity has been much improved.. and in 12.xx its getting even better. [12:26] melvincv iam still on 11.10 [12:26] if i install another ubuntu on the same system, will i be able to get the saved data from the old ubuntu installation [12:26] jrib >> thanks, will try now and see how it goes [12:26] rabbi1: yes. if you dont format the partions. [12:26] Description: Ubuntu 11.10 [12:26] I am waiting for 12.04, till then I'm with 11.04 and I'm a fan of Gnome2 === Aranel_ is now known as Aranel === mint is now known as c31r2g [12:26] #www.ubuntu.com.cn [12:27] Gnome2 is dead. :) but there is some gnome2-ish theme/projects that use gnome-shell in the works. [12:27] presently iam using gnome 3 along with cinnamon [12:27] Dr_Willis: I dont want to use unity, there is no task bar, I lose windows all the time [12:27] Dr_willis: will see to that, hopefully i won't ... [12:27] If i want an old-skool desktop - ill stick with Lubuntu. [12:27] yes. Cinnamon is good in implementing gnome 2 [12:28] Ranthor_Harwath: you can add a dock/panel to it if you want a task bar. [12:28] I get this now: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [12:28] ZeusCool: pastebin full input and output (but I have to leave) [12:28] how stable is MATE for a 'Gnome2 look' project? [12:28] : I got some tweaks with compiz, it is not user friendly, yet [12:29] melvincv: any experience/reviews of Xfce? [12:29] for me mate is good. but if you want a few more animations better go for cinnamon [12:29] Hey guys, bit of a problem here [12:29] mate is good for older hardware [12:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/840305/ [12:30] Abooda, Yes, I used it for a month, didn't find it as useful as Gnome2 [12:30] Abooda, it works... lightweight. Nothing fancy but nothing bad. [12:30] jrib >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/840305/ [12:31] Trying to compile the D-Bus libraries (1.4.16) and I have expat already installed as a dependency, but I get a "make: *** [all]: Error 1" thingy when I do "bash ./configure && make" [12:31] melvincv: any particular problems? I am thinking of switching purely because I find my present Gnome shell draining on memory, and KDE is an even worse black hole for resources [12:31] ZeusCool: 1) these errors are likely not related (they already existed) 2) don't use sudo if you are already root [12:31] I'm yet to try Lubuntu, but since LXDE is even Linus choice... [12:32] ZeusCool: 3) you didn't do what I said :) (remove vim-common). But I have to leave now, sorry. You should debug your issues with those tex packages first. Ask here for more help about that [12:32] Abooda, xfce or lxde are both good. I'm running lxde atm in a VM but I stick with gnome for my main host. [12:32] melvincv: i thought it was xfce once.. why copy him lol [12:32] lxde is bit faster than xfce [12:32] jrib >> Thanks for the help! [12:32] Abooda, I'd suggest Lubuntu. [12:32] but xfce is packed with features [12:33] palnj: you did install the build-essential package? and all needed -dev packages> [12:33] My optical drive is not found anymore.. used to work fine before... What should I do please? [12:33] StepNjump: put in a data disk, check dmesg output, try mounting it by hand. [12:33] prasad_, what extra features, over Lubuntu? [12:34] I got a dvd from Linux Pro mag. with 5 versions of ubuntu with xfce and lxde so I'm just messing around with them on VM's. At a glance though I think I like LXDE the most (aside from gnome). === christoffer is now known as Guest16647 [12:34] an audio CD wouldn't work Dr_willis ? [12:34] StepNjump: any disc [12:34] Abooda, since you are concerned about performance, like me, try Lubuntu [12:35] Oh ok...thanks Gentoo64 & Dr_willis [12:35] melvincv: I might give it a shot ... but what are the downsides to Lubuntu? [12:35] Abooda: no unity.. no nice effects [12:36] Ben64: have just booted with the livecd, you mentioned something about fixing the shadow and groups [12:36] Abooda, yeah basically what he said, its still ubuntu, just not gnome. Your programs will work as they have. [12:36] Ben64: just unsure what that means/involves [12:36] Dr_willis : thnx for the info, after some googleing I found out [12:36] classicmenu- indicator [12:36] Abooda, I'm still checking it out, so far so good... I need to know what is there in XFCE that's not there in LXDE? [12:37] really really nice [12:37] Abooda: lubuntu should come with a different set of default (lxde) apps which are lighter then gnome ones, but nothings stopping you installing whatever apps you wany [12:37] Gentoo64: one of the many reasons I love Linux [12:37] Fully customisable [12:37] I've always been an Arch fan [12:37] melvincv: xfce has its own compisitioner its more gnome 2 like as well [12:38] And Linux gives new life to old computers :) [12:38] * feisar just got a samsung netbook for my birthday, booted windows 7 starter once and is now installing Ubuntu!

[12:39] * Gentoo64 disagrees [12:39] Gentoo64 & Dr_willis here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/840313/ [12:40] i was tempted to go with 12.04 alpha due to the unity improvements but resisted... [12:40] what's the minimum RAM for Lubuntu? [12:40] I have no idea how to read this [12:40] StepNjump: looks like your being flodded with ufw logs so thats not much use === root__ is now known as MisterPet [12:41] nothing came up then Gentoo64 [12:41] :D [12:41] nah it might have done [12:41] how do i fix it where my speakers shut off when i plug in my headphones? i tried all the alsa mixer's and i tried switching the analog output to analog headphones but i still hear sound in both. [12:41] Weird cuz the CD drive opens up as normal.. It just stopped working one day for no reason [12:41] StepNjump: try mounting it by hand? [12:41] how? [12:41] !mount [12:41] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [12:41] |^ like this [12:42] sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/MAKEADIR [12:42] LOL [12:42] No I know how to mount Dr_willis but I don't know what it's called [12:42] I want an update of evolution mail cleint for ubuntu distro. How can I report that?

[12:43] njaxx, its fine but also look at lbuntu. [12:44] njaxx: xfce, kde, lxde and openbox have ubuntu versions [12:44] s/lbuntu/Lubuntu [12:44] njaxx, gnome3 is very nice [12:44] njaxx: go try it and come back when you positively know you dont like it [12:44] yeah just put it on a usb drive and try it live. [12:44] njaxx: you could always install Precise Pangolin when it's released and smack GNOME 2/3 on it [12:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-ldap.html <- who knows what to change the attributes *into* for step 4? [12:45] Dr_willis: I don't see cdrom in /dev [12:45] kyubutsu: been using Unity on my work laptop for months - I positively know I don't like it. [12:45] Then again, the beta versions are still pretty damn sturdy [12:45] njaxx: then why you ask with an IF statement? [12:45] Gentoo64, which is the openbox version? [12:45] njaxx: you do get used to it, as with everything, but oh we'll, personal preference FTW [12:45] during boot, does much else load after "* Checking battery state,,, "? I am guessing raid? [12:46] StepNjump: it may be some /dev/sd# or /dev/sr# [12:46] melvincv: crunchbang [12:46] idk if crunchbang is official ubuntu or not [12:46] ah!!! [12:46] not [12:46] Gentoo64: no, it's not [12:46] ij [12:46] ok [12:46] Gentoo64: not official, but it is a derivative [12:46] #! is light! i was running it on an old thinclient :P [12:46] It's a pretty good district, nevertheless [12:47] *distro [12:47] its no lighter than lxde imo [12:47] basically the same [12:47] Gentoo64: too right [12:47] Gentoo64, thanks, I'll check it out. [12:47] But lubuntu will run on a machine with 128mb ram, and I know that cause I use it [12:48] Gentoo64: i was just using the CLI though [12:48] Meh as long as you can access the terminal in ubuntu I don't care, gnome3/unity works fine for me. GUIs are easy to use in Linux compared to other things like BIND9. [12:48] shadowe989: terminal FTW, makes things less complicated [12:48] I [12:48] I Honestly don't understand why those [12:49] New to the Linux scene are afraid of that black screen with the green text [12:49] hahahaha [12:49] lol green text [12:49] The media stereotype that to hacking far too often [12:49] Gentoo64: i was trying to run a mumble server on crunchbang. Unfortunately mumble used more memory than was available (128mb - not upgradable) [12:49] camer0n: ok [12:49] Gentoo64: I like the old monochrome theme , I use it on my ttys [12:50] camer0n: unlucky for you but I know the feeling [12:50] I know it's fun to discuss about the merits of CLI and different user interfaces and all, but could we return back to the topic of Ubuntu support? you can continue the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic - it's nice, quiet and calm there right now [12:50] SDR ram is so outdated its become far too === skilz is now known as Guest75264 [12:50] Expensive and rare that's it's practically impossible to find [12:50] thunderbird fails authenticating with new password. login failure to server. solution? === Guest47811 is now known as marnold === Guest75264 is now known as skilz [12:51] kyubutsu: use IMAP :P [12:51] That's all I got [12:53] i have had some data loss (mentioned about 1.5 hours ago) in /etc. i have been able to restore some of the lost files from a livecd. just having trouble logging in now using my username/password.Is any of the user data stored in /etc? [12:53] yeah [12:53] why when I try and blacklist a module it doesn't leave it out when it boots? I'm trying to use realtek r8168 instead of r8169 that is loaded with the kernel [12:53] camer0n: sure /etc/passwd (shadow, groups [12:53] Is it possible to install Ubuntu without any desktop at all? === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [12:54] !mini | Walther [12:54] Walther: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [12:54] Walther: Ubuntu Server has only the CLI [12:55] I want to have a install of Ubuntu with maximum possible battery life, hence CLI only [12:55] llutz_: how would i readd those users? adduser to the live cd, then copy across? [12:55] camer0n, /etc/ is where all you're important configuration files are stored, /etc is where the system looks for its settings. Applications will look in . files in you home directory. [12:55] camer0n: idk if the live-cd allows that, try it [12:56] I don't think that would work the /etc/passwd file would have special users for a live cd, when u use the live cd u auto login the ubuntu user [12:57] then theres the issue of the shadow passwords too. You would need to manually modify that stuff to get it working. I'd just backup and fresh install [12:57] thats the easy way ofc... [12:58] thunderbird fails authenticating with new password. login failure to server. solution? [12:58] reinstall thunderbird :( [12:58] I generally recommend the easy way over rebuilding tons of config files by hand. Your choice haha but the latter option can be a learning experience [12:59] kyubutsu, whos your provider? try logging in a gmail account to make sure its not user error and to rule out thunderbird is at fault. [12:59] sigh, password is good. [12:59] llutz_: where does the password get stored, and if i copied it across from one system to another, would it still decrypt it the same?

[13:21] suporte, #ubuntu-br [13:21] thanks bazhang [13:21] ahihi, yes it is [13:21] thanks shadowe989 [13:22] thanks [13:22] mint, no problem :) [13:22] ikonia, lemme chack [13:22] and im c31r2g === mint is now known as c31r2g [13:22] Lint: samba on win7 uses a different authentication mechanism, if it was published you'd have no issue but Microsoft are as they are so you get issues. [13:23] When did the topic in #ubuntu switch to win 7? [13:23] lol [13:23] cypher-neo i wondered the same [13:23] cypher-neo, its always been about windows. lol [13:23] but what if i have to do a server search command where first i need to enter a pwd than i want to see the response of the server page by page ? [13:24] this is the new windows 7 support channel, I guess you didn't get the memo. [13:24] cypher-neo: its a user with samba issues under ubuntu connecting to Win7. So the topic never changed [13:24] ActionParsnip, Oh... [13:24] ActionParsnip, Tell him to reformat the Win 7 computer to Ubuntu. Then he'll have no problems at all. lol [13:24] hah [13:24] lol [13:24] hermitage: if the command outputs any text you can pipe to less, any text at all :) [13:24] I don't find that funny, [13:25] cypher-neo: win7 may be needed (games and such) [13:25] hi again ikonia [13:25] so good to see ya again ikonia [13:25] hermitage: e.g. sudo find / | grep -i data | less etc [13:26] Has ndiswrapper been working with anyone with 10.04.3? I can not get it to work for me with my Linksys AE1000 wireless adapter. [13:27] does this commands listing never end or what ActionParsnip "e.g. sudo find / | grep -i data | less" [13:27] BrandonBolton: if you run: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper does it help? [13:27] c31r2g: it will end eventually [13:28] wow thats too long too know [13:28] ActionParsnip, I will try that right now. [13:28] c31r2g: its just a sample command, it doesn't really do much useful [13:28] ikonia, no, I cannot connect without having ntlm2 enabled [13:28] Lint: I am using it out the box [13:28] like what?ActionParsnip [13:28] c31r2g: you realise this is ubuntu support, not mint support [13:29] ikonia im a newbie just curiosity over learning things and eventually i'll settle to one or the other distro..:) [13:29] c31r2g: then please ask in the mint support channel why you are using mint [13:30] Lint this question dates from 2008 http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/15279/ [13:30] ActionParsnip, It is complaining about needing a .conf file and how that will be ignored in a future release. [13:30] c31r2g: the irc server is irc.sportchat.org and the channel is #linuxmint-help or #linuxmint-chat [13:30] c31r2g: it just searches al the files and finds any file name or path containing the word 'data' [13:30] BrandonBolton: is it in /etc/modprobe.d by any chance [13:31] ikonia's debunked i presume [13:31] well ikonia because my hdd has gone bad and no other source of running some other distro so running live usb .....u know dont have anything at hand right know [13:31] thanks ActionParsnip [13:31] but i'm rather perplexed noone done anything with this since 2008 [13:32] ActionParsnip, this is exactly what it says: http://pastebin.com/Fv3j8HG3 [13:32] well ikonia mint is 98% ubuntu based so might find some help here so i do visit here [13:32] :) [13:32] c31r2g, no [13:33] Lint this forum has a happy user, in the end http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/ecda546e-5fa0-4c09-9f3c-3bd132c1be68 [13:33] except mint has its own channel, so ubuntu doesn't support it [13:33] !mintsupport | c31r2g [13:33] c31r2g: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [13:33] c31r2g: sorry no - they are different [13:33] BrandonBolton: run: sudo mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/myndiswrapper.conf [13:33] BrandonBolton: and it will be ok [13:33] * melvincv has no issues with samba on win 7, except for Ubuntus older than 10.04, I guess... [13:33] ActionParsnip thanks again :) [13:34] lesson: type passwords manually, apparently copy/paste, although exactly the same, doesnt parse well .. who knows these things [13:34] hermitage: thanks for the gratitude, it makes a difference :) [13:34] I'm here to help any Linux questions where I can regardless of distro... Linux is Linux. Feel free to PM me. [13:34] ahihi [13:34] hermitage, hi [13:35] shadowe989: there is a ##linux for that [13:35] well i heard 2 days ago about 98% ubuntu based and also some debian based...so got confused sorry for the bother.i hope you people wont mind a newbies curiosity [13:35] Kyubutsu I'm already in there. [13:35] hi, my problem refer to "wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ASURO". Typing "sudo cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial" only printed out the first linie. An advice to Unplug all USB devices from PC, to turn off, and wait a minute. [13:35] c31r2g: it's not, it's no problem, however please ask in the mint support channel [13:35] better than ##linux, go to a support channel for your distro [13:35] thanks [13:36] bye [13:36] * kyubutsu ponders the meaning of 'redundancy' [13:36] didn't help [13:36] ActionParsnip, I just tried that and did modprobe again. I got no errors at all, but I can't connect to wireless still. [13:36] c31r2g: irc.spotchat.org channel #linuxmint-help or #linuxmint-chat [13:37] BrandonBolton: if you run: ndiswrapper -l does it say driver and hardware are present? [13:37] c31r2g, you are correct, good luck and sorry =/ [13:37] I messed up the settings for ubuntu window manager so I have to log in with ubuntu-2d now, is there a way to reset the settings for just his window manager and not the ubuntu-2d window manager [13:37] loganrun: unity --reset maybe [13:37] or is there a way to use the config editor while not logged into that window manager [13:38] ActionParsnip, Yes, it says driver is installed and device is present. [13:38] loganrun: happened to mess around with compizconfig? [13:38] BrandonBolton: ok, run: sudo depmod -a; echo "ndiswrapper" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules [13:38] crizzy: yes, and there is obviously a bug that I hit upon [13:39] BrandonBolton: then reboot and run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? [13:39] loganrun: ok, tofix, login to unity 2d. start compizconfig. look for 'unity' plugin. i'm pretty sure this got disabled. click it back on. now unity should work again [13:39] my problem refers to "wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ASURO". Typing "sudo cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial" only printed out the first linie. An advice to nplug all USB devices from PC, to turn off, and wait a minute. (didn't help) [13:40] ActionParsnip, Okay, I will reboot and run that. I will be back in a few seconds. [13:41] crizzy, there is a Ubuntu Unity plugin that is disabled, but it says that it conflicts with other plugins, do you want to resolve these conflicts [13:41] loganrun: clickety-click: yes [13:41] :p [13:41] crizzy, doesn't tell me what the conflict is though, o.k. will try [13:42] compizconfig is poo [13:42] i think there was some talks to remove it from 12.04 repositories because it only breaks ppl's installations [13:42] Is it possible to install Ubuntu without a desktop environment from the Alternate cd? [13:42] !alternate [13:42] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [13:43] Walther: could use minimal [13:43] ActionParsnip: Minimal didn't detect my wireless [13:43] hence couldn't install === david is now known as psycose [13:44] Walther: gotcha [13:44] !Walther I believe so you just have to select the packages it installs on the menu. I've used the server edition before to fine tune like what you're asking. [13:44] shadowe989: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:44] Walther: could install, connect to a wired link and be ok [13:44] oops didn't mean to hit ! [13:45] Hi all. I've just installed debian but when loading grub i get this error: file not found, entering rescue mode.. how can i fix? [13:45] ehm, ubuntu [13:45] Walther first install, then try if wireless works [13:45] underio: debian isn't supported here [13:45] lol nice save hahaha [13:45] ActionParsnip, ubuntu, sorry, i made a mistake [13:45] underio: hmm [13:46] underio, use a live disc and type grub-install /dev/sda [13:46] grub-install is the command you need to use to repair your bootloader [13:46] i've not a live disc, i've an alternate cd [13:47] underio: press CTRL+ALT+F2 in alternate CD and you may be able to run it there [13:47] MonkeyDust: Minimal CD can't install without internet connection [13:47] underio, can't make one by any chance? Last time I used the alternative console it didn't seem to launch the apps unless you find them in /bin [13:47] ActionParsnip, I just restarted then ran sudo iwlist scan and it says that lo and eth0 both do not support scanning. [13:47] ActionParsnip, grub-install not found [13:48] lu [13:48] yeah it won't take commands like that [13:48] I've copied my root to an LVM and tried to set the fstab to mount the LVM, and run update-initramfs but it still seems to be booting to the original partition. Can anyone help? [13:48] you need to find their binary fines in the /bin/ ... let me check for ya [13:48] underio: then I'd shoot for grabbing the live desktop [13:49] BrandonBolton: is the ndiswrapper module loaded? [13:49] ActionParsnip, I am running 10.04.3 64bit and the driver I choose was also 64bit. Could that be it? [13:49] BrandonBolton: you need to match the archs so that will be correct [13:49] underio, hey try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [13:49] scroll to the bottom it has a section on using the alt cd [13:50] ActionParsnip, I opened up ndiswrapper and tried to scan and it still said the same thing. [13:50] hi...how to install restricted extras [13:50] BrandonBolton: [13:50] a server connected thru wifi.. disgusting [13:50] :-/ [13:50] BrandonBolton: if you run: lsmod | grep ndis do you see ndiswrapper? [13:50] asif: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:50] asif, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:50] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [13:51] ActionParsnip lol [13:51] competition is fierce in here [13:51] kyubutsu: indeed disgusting. who was using one? I'd rather turn mine off completely... [13:51] kyubutsu: with n speed its not bad for a home server [13:51] ActionParsnip, it says 'ndiswrapper 244800 0' [13:51] kyubutsu, lol [13:51] BrandonBolton: coolies [13:51] wireless in general is disgusting to me [13:52] shadowe989, ActionParsnip thank you guyz [13:52] BrandonBolton: all I can suggest is read: dmesg | less to see what happens at boot with the device and ndiswrapper etc. You could even try unplugging the device, wait a short while then shove it back in, see if it makes a difference [13:52] (inb4 !anyone | MoleMan) can anyone help me with booting ubuntu from LVM? [13:52] asif, my pleasure [13:52] I've copied my root to an LVM and tried to set the fstab to mount the LVM, and run update-initramfs but it still seems to be booting to the original partition. Can anyone help? [13:52] MoleMan: someone asking about setting up a "CLI system" but not knowing the first thing about setting up wifi thru terminal.. sounds like walking into a wall [13:53] ActionParsnip, Alright, thank you. I will try that. === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [13:53] kyubutsu: I wouldn't even try personally, I have enough hassle with wifi and GUIs [13:54] help me please [13:54] i am install Spark by Linux [13:54] qw-Russian: and whats the problem? [13:54] kyubutsu: with it obviously being my fault when the mother's cluttered vista work laptop won't connect/work etc [13:55] i didnt have Delphi === jason is now known as Guest66446 [13:55] hi, i'm having some issues with 11.10 [13:55] Guest66446: ask away [13:56] please help install Delphifrom Spark [13:56] first off, i have a thumb drive that i used to store all my music from before i formatted(i just switched from windows) but ubuntu isn't detecting it [13:56] i would like install Delphi from my Spark [13:57] Hey guys, is there any way to update Ubuntu while being on it? [13:57] MoleMan: i also have wifi issues, fortunately enough, i can always smack the router, unplug a few things.. you know, the stuff pro's do [13:57] Guest66446: when you plug it in, do you see a reaction in the output of: dmesg | tail [13:57] i see nothing [13:57] it doesn't even detect it [13:57] Simon1245: run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and thats it [13:57] Simon1245, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:57] how to install wamp server in linux please help me? [13:57] for sure you can work while running your package manager [13:57] Guest66446: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the partition [13:58] fidel, shadowe989 Thanks guys :) [13:58] Guest66446: have you tried a different usb port? [13:58] karim_: you know what the W in wamp stands for? [13:58] kyubutsu: pretty much the same as me... although once whilst half drunk I made the best decision I have in a while, through my USB wireless adaptor at a wall, then took a drill to the wall... [13:58] Guest66446: when you last unplugged it, what steps did you take? [13:58] Simon, anytime [13:58] !lamp | karim_ [13:58] karim_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [13:58] i removed did the disconnect [13:59] i'm tried all my usb ports on my computer too [13:59] it works on my xbox [13:59] let me see if it works on my fiancee's laptop rq [13:59] I am trying to sync my iPod (80G Classic) with RB 0.13.1 on kubuntu 10.10 but only some of my music works on the iPod after sync. [14:00] ok in windows i use wamp but now to install lamp? [14:00] karim_: read what ubottu told you [14:00] !lamp > karim_ [14:00] karim_, please see my private message === yavor is now known as y4h0 [14:01] karim_, then google "how to install apache (or whatever) ubuntu" [14:01] if you were to look for LAMP in softwarecenter, whats the keyword? [14:01] Guest66446: do you use the safe remove feature when you remove it from your xbox? [14:01] until you have all the parts to LAMP [14:01] !lamp | kyubutsu [14:01] kyubutsu: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [14:02] i'm gonna try and safely remove it from her laptop right now [14:02] shadowe989 thank [14:02] Guest66446: you should EVERY time [14:02] karim_, no problem. [14:02] karim_, good luck! [14:02] kyubutsu: there is no single packaage for that. You install apache, php, mysql after installing linux and you have LAMP [14:02] i just did, and still nothing [14:02] it's a sandisk [14:02] can anyone explain me why ubuntu security releases are always some days later than debian, for example the php patch last week was significantly later released than de updated debian release, is it maybe because ubuntu does more thorough testing than debian? [14:02] JuJuBee: nicely put [14:02] i like simple answers [14:03] Guest66446: chkdsk the partition so you know its healthy [14:03] np [14:03] kyubutsu, backports. That means debian releases the update then it has to be ported to ubuntu. [14:03] JuJuBee, tasksel will do it in one go [14:03] Anybody here good with Rhythmbox and iPod syncing? [14:03] usually it lights up when it's detected but it's not even lighting up [14:03] sorry not kyubutsu, i ment timkuijsten [14:04] * kyubutsu chuckles [14:04] timkuijsten, distros sometimes port their patches to each other, but they have to make sure they work before they release them. [14:04] kyubutsu: Although when installing Ubuntu Server there is an option to install LAMP, and you may be able to run a single command to install LAMP on server... [14:04] monohedron: did not know that. Thanks, I have always installed separately since that is what is ultimately needed [14:04] shadowe989: ok, so debian always has a closer sercurity vuln. window than ubuntu? [14:04] MoleMan: that sounds even better [14:04] :) [14:04] shadowe989: s/coser/smaller/ [14:04] timkuijsten, it depends, ubuntu releases their own patches then debian might port it to theirs. [14:04] monohedron: is taskel a meta package or an actual package with all the components? [14:05] shadowe989: ok, good to know [14:05] meta is what you call it i think [14:05] i can't seem to chkdsk [14:05] !tasksel [14:05] Tasksel is a Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated "task" onto your system, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel for more information. Use tasksel only to INSTALL tasks, not to remove them. It will remove every package listed within the removed task! see https://launchpad.net/bugs/574287 [14:05] shadowe989: i often see quicker security releases from debian.. [14:05] kyubutsu: but Ubuntu Server does leave you restricted to a CLI only, if you wanted to use the same computer as a PC as well [14:06] monohedron, yeah meta-package is the correct term. There is no meta-package for "LAMP" as far as I know. I just install it manually. [14:06] * kyubutsu nods [14:06] I am running dovecot on my 11.10 system at home. I have recently changed ISPs and now no longer have an actual point of precense on the internet (ie: always behind ISP NAT). Can anyone recommend a good IMAP sync tool to help replicate my email to an externally hosted IMAP server? I have an AWS image with 11.04 which I can use [14:06] MoleMan: well, by default yes restricted ;) [14:06] * Lint never succeeded in installing PHP on Ubuntu [14:06] timkuijsten, Yeah I'm not sure of the security status comparing the two but If I took a guess debian would be more secure. But a good secure distro is centos IMO. sorry OT. [14:06] shadowe989, it's an option in tasksel [14:07] tasksel shows up in software center , just not as metapackage for lamp though [14:07] mbeierl: http://www.athensfbc.com/imap_tools/ [14:07] just start tasksel and have a look [14:07] mbeierl: how about using dynamic dns? like dyn-dns ? [14:07] MoleMan: kyubutsu: but Ubuntu Server does leave you restricted to a CLI only - does not, you can install any gui you want if you need to [14:07] start tasksel in terminal [14:07] monohedron, oh? cool I'll check that. [14:07] JuJuBee: how should that help with ISP NAT? [14:07] xangua: 'by default' [14:07] also, is there anyway to change the desktop to more resemble 10? [14:08] shadowe989: centos, mmm… but really not that open with kernel binary blobs, you know if ubuntu has the binary blob free kernel of debian, i don't believe so but i'm not sure.. [14:08] Guest66446: sudo apt-get install xfce4 [14:08] ActionParsnip, http://i.imgur.com/RrJ1d.jpg [14:08] MoleMan, I agree with xangua, I have a netbook running server 10.04 with gnome hah [14:08] !nounity | Guest66446 [14:08] Guest66446: 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 [14:09] llutz: can map the dns to a nat'd off net ip at home. I use it to get to my media server at home which is off net. [14:09] !classic [14:09] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [14:09] how to install d4x in ubuntu 11.10 [14:09] JuJuBee: and your ISP forwarded the ports for you? [14:09] timkuijsten, Yeah its hard to say. I'm not a expert on if ubuntu is more secure. But as long as you're using linux and you set up your apps right with security in mind. You should be fine. [14:09] please tell me [14:09] llutz: i do it at my end [14:09] underio: what do I need that for? [14:09] JuJuBee: you can't when being ISP NATed [14:10] shadowe989: but you dont' know about any binary blobs in the ubuntu kernel either? [14:10] llutz_: the router software can do some forwarding [14:10] underio: you are using precise which isn't supported here and is supported in #ubuntu+1 or you have used a 3rd party kernel which isn't supported either here or in the +1 channel [14:11] kyubutsu: you can't when being ISP NATed [14:11] llutz: depends on how they are nat'ing and if they are blocking ports [14:11] how to install d4x in ubuntu 11.10 [14:11] ignerious: what is d4x? [14:11] !info d4x [14:11] Package d4x does not exist in oneiric [14:11] timkuijsten, sadly I don't. I'm security aware but not a kernel guy. I just know from what I've read in books and such. [14:11] JuJuBee: kyubutsu if your ISP uses NAT, he would need to portforward every port to every NATes IP to get you accessible from WAN. they won't do [14:12] llutz_: i see yer point, but, its not impossible [14:12] shadowe989: ok, tnx. you recommend centos over debian because of tighter selinux integration? [14:12] llutz, JuJuBee isp's don't nat [14:12] web downloader for X 2.5(d4x) in a alternative of IDM [14:12] ignerious: tried fatrat or jdownloader?

[14:13] llutz, JuJuBee go to morsnowski.com/tools/ip and see whether that ip is the same as that of your router [14:13] monohedron: they differ, yes [14:13] if it is you have a public IP if not it's nat [14:13] ignerious: could see if there is a ppa, seems to be in debian [14:14] monohedron: I know what NAT is [14:14] !ppa | ignerious [14:14] ignerious: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

At least thats how its done with EC2s in Virginia. OT [14:18] as far as what it looks like to the network at minimum [14:19] ola, estou com problemas de impressao com a hp d2360 que agora so imprime em verde no ubuntu 10.4. no win imprime bem.que faço?

[14:21] * Lint wonders how people can mistake portuguese for spanish [14:21] but yah, you are nat'ed. the end. [14:21] oi [14:22] JuJuBee: NAT isn't done 1:1, its done because IP-addresses are expensive. so many local-IPs -> NAT -> Internet === iqpi is now known as iqpi|afk [14:22] #ubuntu-ir [14:22] Lint, its quite easy. A lot of the words only have a few differences. My girl speaks Spanish and can understand Portuguese some since its so similar. [14:22] buenas tardes [14:22] tem alguem aí? [14:22] Awolf: i'd ask in #bash too [14:23] i am [14:23] llutz, whats that called... "pooled nat" or something like that... its been awhile. [14:24] * kyubutsu sets up /ignore on suporte [14:24] is elementary os just a clone of ubuntu ? [14:24] gokul: is not supported here [14:24] 1220 [14:24] llutz, Nat Overloading is what you're talking about. [14:24] !br > suporte [14:24] suporte, please see my private message [14:25] llutz: not going to argue, never said always possible, sure there are reasons why it wont work sometimes and it can work others [14:25] ok [14:25] networking is complex... especially at ISPs. [14:25] suporte: you can join #ubuntu-br and ask for help. [14:26] yes [14:26] llutz: and btw, NAT is 1:1 overloaded NAT is not [14:26] xangua, I read about that OS before... I think in Linux Pro mag. I wouldn't say clone but its a version made to be very easy to use for people who are not good with computers. [14:27] JuJuBee: ok, but that is what ISPs commonly use today [14:28] which is sensical [14:28] Does anyone know why a GTK2/3 theme would work in twf but not when applied using either ubuntu-tweak or gnome-tweak-tool? [14:29] llutz, depends on the country, US i believe with the exception of cell phones its 1:1. US had first dibs on the IP pool though. Asia has the worst grab of the ip pool. [14:29] !virtualisation [14:29] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [14:29] !virtualbox [14:29] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [14:29] !vmware [14:29] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [14:29] !msgthebot | bananstol [14:29] bananstol: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[14:30] :-/ [14:30] headpool182: Drop it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts [14:30] headpool182, not exactly sure with just wine but winetricks has options for that. [14:30] is it virtualbox that has an inbuilt rdp server...or both? [14:30] headpool182: Alternatively use winetricks to install the font if it has it [14:31] Bananastol, I believe so let me double check [14:32] Bananastol, it has RDP display support in the GUI under "Display". [14:32] thanks [14:34] Bananastol, I recommend virtualbox for workstation use. Its very feature complete and FOSS (open source) [14:34] Bananstol, I use it daily :) === mint is now known as c31r2g [14:38] help me pease [14:39] i am install lazarys [14:39] but i am not search here [14:39] Question - I have a bootable multi ISO flash drive. If I run "sudo update-grub" in terminal will that ALSO update grub on my flash drive? Or do I have to run it specifically on /dev/sdb or something? [14:39] understand [14:39] you have to specify what device [14:39] i am search [14:40] roasted: sudo update-grub will update the grub that you have booted from [14:40] roasted, wait thats for install-grub... im not sure about update-grub [14:40] roasted, whats the problem with the thumb, what is the end goal? === 13WAAGHWE is now known as chopin [14:40] roasted, if you're trying to fix sdb, i think your looking for sudo install-grub /dev/sdb [14:41] urfr332g0: I have a flash drive with multiple Ubuntu ISOs on it. I want to select at the grub screen which one I want to boot to. I already have it set up, but I added another Ubuntu ISO and I need to update grub (I assume) to boot to ti. Currently this particular entry errors out that I have to load the kernel first. [14:41] shadowe989: Grub is already installed on the flash drive. Wouldn't updating it after adding a new ISO be all I need? [14:41] roasted, how did you set up the flash to multi boot? [14:42] roasted, if you partitioned it and installed ubuntu to each partition grub will detect the other OS [14:42] urfr332g0: I forget, it's been a while. I basically made my own grub congiruation and set up a folder of a bunch of ISOs. I think I found instructions on pendrivelinux or something. [14:42] roasted, then after that it might have the names right but you can still select which systems to boot. You can clean that up later in the configs. [14:42] urfr332g0: I have to find the "grub2 entry" for whichever OS I want to be on there. So I have Ubuntu, GParted, Clonezilla, DBAN, etc on it. [14:43] shadowe989: no, nothing is installed, Ubuntu isn't phsyically installed. It's just a folder of ISO's that I can boot to in a live session. [14:43] roasted you might consider using a app that is for multi booting and autoupdates the boootloader multisystmes does this. [14:43] roasted got it... okay thats more complicated. disregard what I said haha [14:43] I am having slow preformance with java powered games on ubuntu,but only on firefox. [14:43] urfr332g0: I don't need an app. I just need to update grub.... [14:43] Steevca: which java? [14:44] wait I think it worked? [14:44] sudo update-grub /dev/sdb === DamascusVG is now known as DamascusVG|afk [14:44] now I can see it picked up 11.04 I dropped in [14:44] I have OpenJDK java 6 and 7 installed. [14:44] rebooting to test... [14:44] roasted, sure and the time you may wait would never happen if you had it set up in a way you remembered or just use a app that does this but hey it is your time. :) [14:44] roasted, why don't you grep for the an existing entry and see what file lights up, then you can just modify the entry [14:45] Steevca: what is the output of: uname -m [14:45] Steevca, try using the "normal" restricted version of java by getting it from sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:45] urfr332g0: if you find me a linux based app, I'd use it. Last I looked, it was just easier to do it manually because all I had to do was drop the ISO in /home/isos and paste in the grub2 config. I would hardly call that difficult :P [14:45] ActionParsnip: i686 [14:45] dangit, still doesn't work :/ [14:45] shadowe989: oracle java isn't in the repos now [14:45] roasted I mentioned a linux based app multisystem I use it is easy. [14:46] ActionParsnip, oh thanks for letting me know. :) [14:46] urfr332g0: which app [14:46] Steevca: http://paste.ubuntu.com/840453/ [14:46] Steevca: you can change the last few lines to link to firefox is you want [14:46] Hey guys, I forgot my password on ubuntu, is there any way to recover it? [14:47] hi..help me ...http://paste.ubuntu.com/840454/ [14:47] Simon1245: boot to root recovery mode and you can reset it there [14:47] roasted: i've used multisystem as well. worked pretty well, and allowed for a flash grub splash too [14:47] roasted, lmgtfy http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [14:47] ActionParsnip: Ok,thanks.But i might need some help,i am just going to lunch now. [14:47] ActionParsnip, How do I recover it from there? [14:48] I've used this before... I forget why I didn't end up using it... [14:48] asif: are updates installing or software centre open [14:48] roasted, lol you hardly call that difficult yet you still can'tb do it. :) [14:48] Simon1245: run: passwd yourusername; reboot [14:48] roasted: are you trying to put grub back into the mbr of the drive? [14:48] urfr332g0: doing it is easy. updating it I'm confused over. It seems as if you're having difficulty understanding that. [14:48] Simon1245, yeah what ActionParsnip said, heres a guide with pictures for ya http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [14:49] urfr332g0: I set it up, manually, without any issue, by adding the grub2 entry to the grub.cfg. That part is easy because its copy and paste. Easy. [14:49] Simon1245, even has a video haha [14:49] ActionParsnip, no , i was installing restricted extras but when it asked me to accpet MS EULA it crashe and i closed it so installtion broke [14:49] urfr332g0: I set it up one time, months ago, and I haven't touched it since. Excuse me for forgetting how to update grub on this exact device, but that's all I'm asking. [14:49] ActionParsnip, Thanks, shadowe989 thanks [14:49] Simon1245, no problem good luck [14:49] i want to know about backtrack5......... [14:50] abhi_123: its not supported here [14:50] abhi_123: ask in #backtrack-linux [14:50] abhi_123, its for security professionals but theres a backtrack channel you can go to on this network [14:51] hi guys [14:51] hey [14:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/840454/...help me out [14:52] roasted: grub-install might work for that if you set --boot-directory [14:52] overclucker: such as sudo grub-install /dev/sdb ? [14:52] asif, try this apt-get install -f [14:53] also have you tried rebooting? [14:53] !apt-fix | asif [14:53] asif: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [14:53] shadowe989, ActionParsnip is there any way to recover it without having to log off? [14:53] asif: use TAB and ENTER to accept the licenses in terminal [14:54] Simon1245: you can run: passwd and set your password, not sure if it asks for the current password first [14:54] roasted: mount it and grub-install --boot-directory=/media/sdb1/boot /dev/sdb [14:54] ActionParsnip, would Simon1245 be able to telinit 1 to get root? I can check if u dont know. [14:54] overclucker: just a fun thought, could I utilize that same command but subsitute grub-install for update-grub? [14:55] shadowe989: not sure, you'd need sudo -i to get a root console, requiring password [14:55] roasted: nope [14:55] shadowe989, means? ActionParsnip let me try [14:55] Simon1245, that would boot you in single user mode. [14:55] roasted: completely different tasks [14:55] Simon1245, but your going to lose your gui [14:56] ActionParsnip, thank you . it is fine now [14:56] shadowe989, with an old friend on msn [14:56] roasted: you could use grub-setup, or just use grub and set it up from grub console [14:56] I'll come back soon here here talking to him haven't spoken to him for like 1year now or something :D [14:57] !attitude > overclucker [14:57] overclucker, please see my private message [14:57] Simon1245, haha ok [14:57] asif: np man [14:57] how do identify the list of available devices in the command line? [14:57] mrgt, `sudo lshw` [14:57] ActionParsnip, but I think restricted extra is not installed [14:58] mrgt: sudo lshw | less will be more readable [14:58] mrgt, theres some other ones like lsusb, lspci, etc [14:58] asif: then rerun the install command and it will say if its installed [14:58] urfr332g0: hmm?

[15:26] DragonSlay: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/backtrack-grub2-iso-boot-863078/ something like that [15:26] ActionParsnip: power is not normally an issue, thanks. But I guess I should buy another battery (I got a new one recently, then didn't use it and not using it at all seems to have killed it :( ) [15:27] ciao [15:28] * DragonSlay reading ActionParsnip link :) [15:29] Atlantic777, at the ubuntu in the threads by the person linked to in the second post of the link above is a thread for using grub 2 to boot iso's you can also have a partition with iso's that can be booted. [15:29] forums [15:30] hello, does nvidia GT555M (lenovo Y570) have drivers for Ubuntu or yet ? [15:31] asterisk-Tester, I would believe so. I can check for ya === iqpi|afk is now known as iqpi [15:31] asterisk-Tester, Optimux ? [15:32] here it seams to be full ;-) [15:32] asterisk-Tester, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-270.41.06-driver.html [15:33] asterisk-Tester, that's the one you need or a newer version. But that there supports the 555m [15:33] i would like to download ubunto ... for a workstation ... recomendation is 32Bit ... but the PC is 64bit ... what are the reasons for the recomendation [15:34] asterisk-Tester, so 270.41.06 will do the trick [15:34] ciaobello, 32bit is mostly better with older computers. It's safer to say it'll work [15:34] ActionParsnip: thanks, nice to trick to save CDs & Pen drive lifetime. [15:35] ciaobello, but you can use the 64bit version just fine with no problems. [15:35] dies it have more 32bit software ? [15:35] does [15:35] asterisk-Tester: if you add the xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh) you can get the 290 driver which will support your GPU [15:35] ciaobello, I've never came across any software thats 64bit only. [15:36] shadowe989: thanks a lot but do u think it might work if ubuntu is installed as guest in virtual box, or it depende on virtual box ? [15:36] Guys, my banshee doesnt play any song, any thoughts about it? [15:36] asterisk-Tester, you need the nvidia driver installed on the host [15:36] ok thans shadowe989 [15:36] thanks [15:36] forbidden404: what codecs have you installed? [15:37] forbidden404: what format are the files you have tried? [15:37] asterisk-Tester, then you need to install the "guest additions" on the virtual machine. That will give you 3d acceleration. I have the same setup but different nvidia card [15:37] mp3 [15:37] ActionParsnip: just mp3 [15:37] ciaobello, no problem :) [15:37] Well, before was playing fine, Idk why this happened now [15:37] forbidden404: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:37] yep [15:37] forbidden404: do they play in other players [15:38] I just have banshee in my ubuntu === bi-dev is now known as dat789 [15:38] asterisk-Tester, basically virtual machines have their own drivers which they call "Guest additions" that allow the VM to use your real hardware more efficiently. So if your using ubuntu in a VM you don't need the nvidia driver. [15:38] reconfiguring gstreamer-ugly might help [15:38] shadowe989: exactly i had it installed, but unity 3D was so sluggish, so i had to switch to unity 2D [15:38] asterisk-Tester, ohh [15:38] mmmm so that driver wont help me [15:38] i need an update on guest additions ? (if available) [15:38] asterisk-Tester, okay have you tried increasing vram of the guest and making sure 3d acceleration is on? [15:39] hello #ubuntu. here seeking help/advice. [15:39] forbidden404: install gnome-mplayer or vlc and try that [15:39] asterisk-Tester, yeah guest addition updates and virtual box updates do help 3d acceleration. [15:39] the max that virtual box supports was 128 MB , but my card is 2 GB... [15:39] asterisk-Tester: I'd stick to 2D in a virtual system, it will be snappier [15:39] anyone know how to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.20.run ? [15:39] i had the latest vbox installed... seem there isnt any support for it currently ... [15:40] asterisk-Tester, yeah thats all virtual box supports, same with vmware [15:40] recently installed Ubuntu 11.10. It didn't recognize my graphics card so I installed it (fglrx) [15:40] my new Logitech C270 webcam doesn't give clean picture [15:40] Bobenhaus: drop to root recovery mode and run the file, instead I suggest you use the xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh) [15:40] shadowe989: :-) ok i though vmware was more powerfull in that domain [15:40] asterisk-Tester, but vmware player has superior 3d performance. Where I can get modern games to run without lag. [15:40] :-( [15:40] asterisk-Tester, your correct [15:40] after rebooting, my screen went blank [15:40] actionparsnip: Would you happen to know the ppa? [15:40] it should not need any configuration [15:41] @Bobenhaus, I'm trying to do the same for ATI Catalyst [15:41] asterisk-Tester, I keep vmware player (free version) just for when I need good 3d acceleration. but I use virtual box for most of my development. [15:41] but even with vmware, only 128 MB can be used ? isnt it weird to have the same limitation in both ? [15:41] aha [15:42] Anyone has a new Logitech webcam? [15:42] so installing the driver from nvidia site wont be much of a help, as it wont "update" my guest additions, right ? [15:42] asterisk-Tester, I don't understand why that is but 128MB can do quite a bit. I'd give it a shot. Vmware player is 100% free unlike other versions, so it might be worth using until virtualbox catches up some. [15:42] Bobenhaus: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [15:42] ok thanks [15:42] asterisk-Tester, you are correct. [15:43] asterisk-Tester, I've had issues with 3d acceleration on virtualbox then loaded it on vmware and it works fine. so thats my advise to work around that for now. [15:44] hi guys! i have a noob question regarding linux/ubuntu and new software. an example is lame 3.98 is available for lucid for if i want to use the latest 3.99.3 i need to have newer ubuntu than lucid while on windows for example, i can use the old xp and any lame version i want. so why is it that i need newer ubuntu to use a newer lame (and many other programs)? [15:44] shadowe989: ok thx for sharing ur experiance and advice :-) [15:44] asterisk-Tester, anytime and good luck :) [15:45] anyone have any experience creating a daemon for a python script? === DragonSlay1 is now known as DragonSlay [15:46] ickefes, you can use what you want if you understand the dependencies, lucid is the longterm release . [15:46] You're worried of a budget meeting? If we don't take care of this, we don't make it to the men's room. We will burn for this. We will both burn for this. [15:47] esuave, I have a link here somewhere to do that... Its a tricky task but you can [15:47] dependies is like dll's in windows, kind of, right? or like some programs need .net framework to work correctly and in linux you need dependencies. [15:47] shadowe989: cool! can you share with me please? [15:47] hello [15:47] hello [15:47] i have a problem with all linux distros [15:47] alex123123, lol [15:47] looks like software manager is pushing a new version of firefox down [15:47] when i select installation [15:47] ickefes: somehow, yes. But it's a more general concept [15:47] hi ppl [15:47] i get a black screen === nick is now known as Guest33279 [15:48] alex123123: tried installing without acpi activated?

[15:48] esuave, no problem, good luck with that :) [15:49] so for example lame... in windows all the new versions are just an .exe file which you can use on xp or windows 7. in linux i need different dependies depending on what lame version i want. how come? :) [15:49] thanks\ [15:49] ickefes, you're going to have problems trying to compare windows with linux theyare completely differnt. [15:49] ickefes: because things are more complicated and more flexible. [15:49] ickefes windows != linux [15:50] us.archive.ubuntu.com is killing me right now :( [15:50] ickefes: you actually can run any lame on any linux if you yourself take care of all the dependency issues [15:50] thanks guys but ain't there a (if only bad) way to compare them somehow to make me understand it somewhat more. i don't understand why lucid don't support any newer lame version than 3.98 [15:51] windows also uses a layer of abstraction to hide the dependency differences [15:51] ah, lame is a program? [15:51] !latest | ickefes [15:51] ickefes: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

[15:51] ickefes: if you don't want to do all that work you can always rely on the version people provide you - which is tested to work together [15:51] ickefes: btw. as ubottu pointed out: always using the latest version without a reason is not the best idea [15:52] ok. i am trying to grasp this :) [15:52] !info lame [15:52] lame (source: lame): An MP3 encoding library (frontend).

[16:05] hi [16:05] in lucid, vorbis 1.2.0 was the latest and did not show any newer in synaptic so I downloaded debs of vorbis 1.3.0 and I complained about my multiarch version so I donwloaded a deb of a newer multiarch and installed which worked fine and after that I could install ogg 1.3.0. do you think this can be any problem to other software? [16:06] zykotick9, I use what works, Linux works for me. I would use Linux even if it was closed source. I'm not going to be a door to door open source preacher. I support open source and write open source code. But I have nothing against closed code. [16:06] A complaint. The standard kernel wireless driver rt2800pci worked for one minor kernel release, 3.0.0-15. Now, with 3.0.0-16, I have to make and install the driver from the chipset maker, again. What gives?

I logged out, and then my screen went black. I thought I should reboot, same problem. I went past BIOS, and i [16:18] Moebius: I was typing ^ :P [16:18] ah. ok ) [16:18] Also, to add to that ^ I think I have have removed the graphics drivers or something, which is why nothing is working.

But xorg.conf exists nevertheless. [16:21] Moebius, true I figured to check that first. hmm [16:21] shadowe989: What's the command for modprobing? [16:21] or just "modprobe"? [16:21] modprobe [16:21] ah k [16:21] lol [16:21] Seryth: i assums you're interested in moving to XFCE as a DE, that's why you did the purexfce thing? [16:21] ok I got a command for ya 1sec [16:21] mneptok: Exactly [16:22] Seryth: use "lsmod" to list current modules [16:22] zykotick9: Ty [16:22] How do you get header data from ic3.gov? [16:22] Seryth: try installing the xubuntu-desktop package. perhaps (and really, *perhaps*) noting kept gdm from being removed. the xubuntu-desktop package will bring in anything needed to get X.org working. [16:23] ciao [16:23] mneptok: Okay, I'll try... [16:23] Seryth, try to start x manually /etc/init.d/x11-common start [16:23] BaffoGrigio, ciao, provare /join #ubuntu-it [16:23] Seryth, x = basically your GUI [16:24] shadowe989: Right, I got that, I'll try to start it manually [16:24] like a baws [16:24] shadowe989: as a user to start Xorg you'd use the "startx" command. Seryth [16:24] zykotick9: I see === ozior is now known as ozi|afk [16:25] Seryth, you may miss the login manager if you removed gdm [16:25] zykotick9, I'm aware of that. Help him with his issue. Instead of me. [16:25] zykotick9: "Failed to load NVIDIA kernel module" [16:25] there we go [16:26] sec let me check 1 thing === vincent is now known as Vin100|Work [16:27] Seryth: did you install nvidia using apt-get (or U.S.C) or did you manually download/install from nvidia.com? [16:27] shadowe989: easy there. we're all trying to help. [16:27] Lint: You mean I may be missing lightdm or the like? [16:27] xubuntu desktop is installing now, btw [16:27] I cannot wget ubuntu 10.04 server from this page. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download the Direct url for this download link works in the browser, but with wget I gives me 11.10 server. [16:27] zykotick9: U.S.C, but before I removed everything [16:27] mneptok pardon me? [16:27] shadowe989, he can't reinstall it, his partition is read-only, and that kinda surprised me :) === fork is now known as Guest38648 [16:28] I wonder why you have nvidia driver problems [16:28] Seryth: do you remember was it nvidia-current or one of the other drivers? [16:28] zykotick9: nvidia current, iirc [16:28] Seryth: does: sudo nvidia-xconfig help? [16:28] shadowe989: "Help him with his issue. Instead of me." [16:28] AciLemme try [16:28] ActionParsnip: Lemme try* [16:29] Seryth: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" then ActionParsnip's "sudo nvidia-xconfig" might sort you out then. [16:29] ah... nvidia-current [16:29] my drivers are different.. [16:29] maybe that's why it didn't work.. [16:29] mneptok, then he can stop "I wouldn't expect a ubuntu user to know that" on me. Don't expect me to treat him respectfully if he is going treat us all like that. [16:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/840575 [16:30] ActionParsnip: ^ [16:30] no device specified O.o [16:30] zykotick9: ^ [16:30] Seryth: retry Xorg now [16:30] shadowe989: everyone treats everyone respectfully. channel rules. i'm correcting your behavior. if you feel zykotick9 was far out of line, you are welcome to let #ubuntu-ops know about it. [16:31] zykotick9:xubuntu-desktop is 97% complete, let that finish, I'll install nvidia-current, and then re-boot. [16:31] mneptok: if this is an issue can i join #ubuntu-ops as well? [16:31] mneptok, why didn't you correct his? He hasn't been supporting until he gave his FSF speach? I been here most of the morning supporting people. This is the 2nd time a mod spoke to me. 1st time was for saying Hello to someone who said hi to me. [16:32] zykotick9: you can /join that channel for any issue at any time. [16:32] Hi, I have a static Ip set up on a server, however after some time it'll automatically diregard the settings in /etc/network/interfaces and take an IP from DHCP ? [16:32] mneptok: i know you don't like people lurking there though... thus my asking. [16:33] shadowe989: in my time at the keyboardi saw nothing that needed correcting from zykotick9. and this conversation needs to move to -ops now. [16:33] I tend to find that getting frustrated is better solved by some time away from the keyboard... just sayin' [16:33] mneptok my pleasure [16:34] Recommend that all involved parties buy motorcycles (and helmets).

Not terribly fast but small, easy and fuel-efficient. And now we're off-topic. :) [16:35] jigspan: you computer's got a cold :P [16:36] recon_lap:can u explain more?

[16:43] :) [16:43] jigspan: also get a watch and time the boot, slow means different things to different people [16:43] recon_lap:but what happen about shut down it is also incomplete [16:43] Simon1245: what make and model laptop?

[17:26] can onyone help me? i got a problem with the adobe flash player. i try to install, it installs, but the flash polayers dont work. they still blank and dont play. youtube plays, but other, like soundcloud or 4shared dont work. anyone know why thisis happening? [17:26] jonathon: the extension doesn't mean a great lot [17:26] jonathon: add: #!/bin/bash to the top of the file [17:26] meskarune: that what I was trying to do, but mounting didn't work [17:26] jonathon: #!/bin/sh should be the first line, doubt that's the actual issue... doh trism beat me ;) [17:26] jonathon: 1st it's " ... -jar minecraft.jar", then you should give the full path to minecraft.jar [17:26] jonathon: is the top file: #!/bin/bash [17:27] trism, okay, lemme that [17:27] jonathon: top line, sorry [17:27] i did cntrl +alt+f1... how do i get back to the gui? [17:27] battle_warrior: alt+f7 (or f8) [17:28] qopi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [17:28] trism,llutz, Okay, Adding the full path to the jar and adding that line at the top got it working. thanks guys [17:30] jonathon: if you make a desktop file in /usr/share/applications it will appear in dash and you can drag it to the unity launcher if you wish [17:31] meskarune: thanks, but the first step says to install dchroot and when I try that I get: E: Unable to local package dchroot :( [17:31] qopi: "cd /mnt/ubuntu" , then: "mount -t proc proc proc/" then : "mount -t sysfs sys sys/" then: "mount -o bind /dev dev/" THEN do : "mount -t /dev/sda1 boot/" [17:32] qopi: you don't need to install anything. just boot the live cd, then do those commands. you have to mount temporary file systems before mounting your main drive [17:32] meskarune: there is no /ubuntu directory [17:32] #ubuntu-ir [17:32] you have to make that directory [17:32] ah ok [17:32] ^ qopi [17:32] ActionParsnip, Thanks for the tip, But I'm on Lubuntu, so no unity here :P [17:33] join #cakephp [17:33] Has anyone fixed the gnome-terminal menubar bug in ubuntu 11.11? [17:33] cipher__: iirc, you need to remove a globalmenu pacakge, but I don't recall which one. [17:34] cipher__: it appears to be fixed in 12.04, for 11.10 removing indicator-appmenu and appmenu-gtk works around it [17:34] cipher__: check the bug status on ubuntu's bug list [17:34] cipher__: or use another terminal. like xfce-terminal or sakura or tilda [17:34] jonathon: then it will make it appear in you lxmenu [17:34] meskarune: mount point proc/ does not exist - do I need to create that too? where? [17:34] Thank you. [17:36] meskarune: in the ubuntu directory I just created? [17:36] cd to /mnt/ubuntu [17:36] (change directory) [17:36] am there [17:37] then when you are there, type "mount -t proc proc proc/" as root [17:37] I did [17:37] it says mount point proc/ does not exist [17:37] weird [17:37] I did: sudo mount -t proc proc proc/ [17:38] can you do "mkdir /mnt/ubuntu/proc" then "mount -t proc proc proc/" [17:38] will try [17:38] make sure you are in the ubuntu directory [17:38] ok creating it first worked [17:38] guess I may have to do that with sys dir too? [17:38] hi [17:39] qopi: i think something is wrong. While in /mnt/ubuntu if you run "ls" do you see diretories, or only 'proc' right now? [17:39] what is this gnome classic in pangolin?, gnome-panel ported to gtk3 ? [17:40] zykotick9: only proc [17:40] qopi: ya, you're missing a mount already! [17:40] zykotick9: ? [17:40] qopi: yeah awesome. once you have those mounted, you should be able to chroot in [17:40] meskarune: see above! [17:41] doda1: basically, 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 though [17:41] meskarune: when I did "sudo mount -t proc sysfs sys sys/" is just gave me a load of info about mount usage [17:41] zykotick9: qopi said he got proc mounted, so there is no issue. [17:42] qopi: if mount -t proc proc proc/ worked then use that [17:42] meskarune: lol, ya, and the chroot environment the two of you are creating ONLY has proc - bit issue! [17:42] s/bit/big/ [17:42] mount -t sysfs sys sys/ [17:42] mount -o bind /dev dev/ [17:42] then do : mount -t /dev/sda1 boot/ [17:42] zykotick9: you are missing a parts of the conversation dude. :P [17:43] meskarune: ah, so I guess I need to do "mount -t sysfs sys sys/" from within /proc directory I created then mounted, right? [17:43] qopi: to log into the chroot after everything is mounted you do "chroot . /bin/bash" [17:44] qopi: no, mount everything from /mnt/ubuntu [17:44] qopi: the chroot you are creating is missing it's root file system (it's gonna fail) [17:44] zykotick9: no it won't. please do not confuse this guy [17:44] I'm going through chroot step by step [17:45] qopi: "ls -l /mnt/ubuntu " does it show more than proc, sys? [17:45] meskarune: mount point sys/ does not exist (which is perhaps what zykotick9 is banging on about?) [17:45] meskarune: your order of operations is incurrect then. [17:45] llutz: only proc [17:45] qopi: mkdir /mnt/ubuntu/sys [17:45] then see if it works [17:45] good luck with chrooting then [17:46] note, there IS a sys (and lots else besides) inside the /mnt/ubuntu/proc/ directory [17:46] zykotick9: I work as a system admin and use chroot everyday. you mount proc, sys, dev, then mount root system then chroot in. just let me help this guy please. [17:47] meskarune: how would he do "chroot . /bin/bash" if there nothing except proc and sys? [17:47] but yes, in /mnt/ubuntu/proc/ there is currently ONLY proc [17:47] meskarune: he needs to mount the filesystem he wants to chroot in BEFORE [17:47] llutz: you are going out of order. I"m helping his mount each system. then chroot in after. buy ya'll need to quit spamming [17:47] qopi: you're getting bad advice, just FYI. [17:48] zykotick9: +1 [17:48] meskarune:again: how would he do "chroot . /bin/bash" if there nothing except proc and sys? [17:48] there are plenty of people who 'work as sysadmins' who have no idea what they're doing. [17:48] !grub2 > qopi this has the chroot instructions [17:48] just throwing that out there. [17:48] qopi, please see my private message [17:48] join #lawrence [17:48] llutz: I"m walking him through mounting each filesystem first. once they are mounted, he can chroot in. you are getting chroot out of order dude [17:48] Oops [17:49] qopi: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_Root [17:49] meskarune: NO, you are. [17:49] meskarune: the order is: 1st mount the fs you want to chroot to [17:49] meskarune: THEN proc/ sys/ dev/ [17:49] no, you mount temporary filesystems, then you mount root, then you chroot in [17:49] lol [17:50] ActionParsnip, How would I do that Desktop thing to have it in the Lxmenu [17:51] .whois llutz [17:52] heh [17:52] lol [17:53] i have a problem with one of my remote systems [17:53] the load is at 10 and i'm not able to get a shell when logging in on it [17:53] but i can issue commands like: ssh [17:53] so how can i reboot the system doing this? [17:54] meskarune: thanks for your help so far, but llutz would appear to have a point re: "how would he do "chroot . /bin/bash" if there nothing except proc and sys?" no? [17:54] i tried a ssh 'sudo /sbin/reboot' [17:54] How can I view revisions in rdiff-backup? [17:54] One other question.. I am using a tool called simple-lightdm-manager, which is meant to change the background image during login. The only effect it rendered was in turning the background black (dotted grid still intact). Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the background image manually? [17:54] hey guys [17:54] qopi: because I am walking you through step by step so you don't get confused. he is getting ahead of you [17:54] Hello all, how can I recursively remove firefox ? === MrCoffee is now known as Guest33265 [17:54] could anyone guide me through a little grub problem? [17:54] read the wiki page I sent you [17:54] and isttall it again [17:55] qopi: if you mount chrooting-fs as last fs, it will overlay the proc and sys you created before. you won't have access to it [17:55] llutz: +1 [17:55] llutz: his disk is already mounted. you mount root ROOT last OMG [17:55] this is why the guy is getting confused [17:55] meskarune: even in your arch link, it says 1st... [17:56] zykotick9: HIS DISK IS ALREADY MOUNTED [17:56] got an internal and external disk. want Ubuntu on the external (already installed), and a grub for the internal, what won't error if the external drive isn't connected, and one for the external as I want to boot it at other PCs too [17:56] he got proc mounted [17:56] now have to mount sys [17:56] a harddrive and root are not the same thing [17:56] Does anyone know how to change the login-screen background image? [17:57] hello. Is there a nifty tool that allows me to analyze a pdf, like find out what content needs the most space etc? === william is now known as Guest18057 [17:57] cipher__: I believe ubuntu-tweak is any easy way. Not sure if it works on Natty, though. [17:58] llutz: zykotick9 perhaps one of you could walk me through it? [17:58] qopi: your disk drive is mounted. you have proc mounted sucessfully? now you need to mount sys [17:59] meskarune: that fact that every step I do that you give me gives me an error isn't inspiring confidence [17:59] is it just me or are the speeds of rsyncing an .iso file from one external USB HDD to another just only 12MB/s ? [17:59] both are 2.5" 5400RPM drives btw [17:59] also, SATA [17:59] chad__: /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf :p [17:59] qopi: You have to make the files with "mkdir" [17:59] I told you this already [17:59] cipher__: Nevermind then, lol. [18:00] qopi: "mkdir /mnt/ubuntu/sys" "mount -t sysfs sys sys/" [18:00] qopi: meskarune is leading you astray still. [18:00] meskarune: are directories also files? [18:00] meskarune: I create then mounted sys, then tried the bind thing, and then it says "mount point dev/ does not exist" [18:00] zykotick9: I got his proc mounted successfully. [18:01] qopi: i HIGHLY suggest you see the grub2 instructions in the ChRoot section [18:01] qopi: make sure you are in the right direcotry [18:01] hi all. gave up waiting for root device! common problems. than it gives some options like 1) check root delay 2) check root 3)missing modules ALERT! /dev/disk/by/uuid ************ does not exist. droping to shell. (initramfs) i give "exit" after more than 4 min wait it loads the OS. what is this? thanks [18:01] meskarune: you got proc mounted to a naked filesystem, doesn't help with chroot. and your general understanding of chroot is flawed. qopi [18:02] erd: fsck the partition may help, also make sure the UID matches the one you get when you run: sudo blkid in live CD# [18:02] this happens every time i start ubuntu 10.04.3 [18:02] zykotick9: he has his disk mounted already. he needs to mount the temp. file systems, then mount root in /mnt/ubuntu, then chroot in [18:02] how do i reset unity ... i tried unity --reset but the panel is screwed up ... no applets on the right [18:02] meskarune: whatever (please don't message me further on this issue). [18:02] ActionParsnip : i dont have a working cd drive in this hp laptop. i installed the OS by USB [18:03] ActionParsnip i am dual booting with win7 and grub seems to be ok [18:03] qopi: so you have proc and sys mounted sucessfully? and "mount -o bind /dev dev/" give you an error? [18:03] hey [18:04] Can someone help me [18:04] Is there a way to view rdiff-backup revisions? [18:04] qopi: do "mkdir /mnt/ubuntu/dev" then "mount -o bind /dev dev/" [18:05] Is there a way to prevent my laptop from going into sleep mode when the laptop is shut? [18:05] ActionParsnip: laptop:~# sudo blkid [18:05] /dev/sda1: UUID="505ACFBB60A0226C" TYPE="ntfs" [18:05] /dev/sda3: UUID="ebcd5ebb-06e1-4c60-a49d-04e05578283e" TYPE="ext4" [18:05] /dev/sda5: UUID="BA0C9AA60C9A5CE7" TYPE="ntfs" [18:05] iToast: perhaps if you explained the problem [18:05] [18:05] qopi: when that mounts, do "mkdir /mnt/ubuntu/boot" "mount /dev/sda1 boot/" === karthik is now known as Guest27008 === Guest27008 is now known as treadstone90 [18:08] ActionParsnip : UID matches correctly [18:08] What is a dbg file in ubuntu? [18:08] hi [18:09] hello all [18:10] i am dual booted with win 7 but my win 7 is corrupted and i do not want to reinstall win 7 so how do i just delete all of the win 7 partition and turn it into free space i can use for my linux? [18:10] ActionParsnip: how to fsck the partition? [18:10] Dwade09: use gparted to delete the partition [18:10] or how can i extend my linux os into all the free space that win 7 was taken up on so i can have space to install tons of stuff and not worry about running out of room [18:10] Dwade09: You can do that, and then re-format [18:10] Dwade09: ...but [18:10] how do I add a second monitor to my laptop? I've got a VGA port on my laptop and I've got the nvidia drivers installed [18:11] salut [18:11] Dwade09: you can also mount onto the Win7 partition for now. Or is the corruption that bad? [18:11] auronandace: can i do that inside my booted linux os? or live cd? because i tried live cd and it would not load it just hung on the live cd [18:11] arginfarb: run nvidia-settings [18:11] how do i reset unity ... i tried unity --reset but the panel is screwed up ... no applets on the right [18:11] llutz, k thanks [18:11] Abooda: its that bad, i was able to salvage the data off of it, but i do not care for it anymore [18:11] Dwade09: a livecd should work, i usually use partedmagic [18:12] auronandace: can i just do it inside the linux os i am running on the same hard drive? [18:12] Dwade09: well GParted as auronandace suggested is the standard for re-formatting partitions [18:13] Dwade09: you can delete the windows partition yes, but you won't be able to resize your linux partition i you are using it [18:13] if [18:13] that is fine for now, [18:13] auronandace: i am going to screen cap a pic for you to see my gparted [18:14] arginfarb: you can use twinview / xinerama for extra settings for a second monitor [18:14] Dwade09: ok [18:15] auronandace: http://imagebin.org/198728 do i just delete the two ntfs and the extended? [18:15] meskarune, k thanks [18:15] I'll check those out as well [18:16] Dwade09: just delete the ntfs, you can't delete the extended (thats where linux is) [18:16] auronandace: what about grub? would it just auto load into linux? or would that mess up grub? [18:16] nobody any help on a tool that can tell me what object in my PDF needs how much space? [18:16] auronandace: what about the first ntfs that is system reserved? /boot. [18:17] Anyone use xfce panel outside of xfce? [18:17] Dwade09: just run sudo grub-update after (or update-grub, i can never remember which way around it is) [18:18] I installed a new kernel, now when at the login screen, I push ctrl+alt+f2 to access terminal console, but lead me to black screen with nothing displaying. So is there a way to access terminal console from login screen after a new kernel? Thanks! [18:18] Dwade09: auronandace it's update-grub [18:18] Dwade09: that first tiny ntfs partition looks like a restore partition, up to you if you want to keep it [18:18] auronandace: ext2? or? [18:18] please help [18:19] Dwade09: ext2? what about it? i thought you just want to delete the partition, not reformat it [18:19] i want to use it as storage [18:19] mysticdarkhack: what happens with alt + F2? [18:19] mysticdarkhack: do you have a vga= line for your kernel? Might want to remove it, if you do, and retest. [18:20] auronandace: i want to use it as storage for now till i extend my main os to it [18:21] Dwade09: up to you what you want to use, as long as you know what OS needs to read it [18:21] so ext2 for linux? since all i have is ubuntu? [18:21] Dwade09: that will work yes [18:22] mysticdarkhack: do you use proprietary video drivers? [18:23] Dwade09: you should use ext3 or ext4 if you want journaling. (prevents file corruption) [18:23] I have a rar file having video but when i extracted it has .exe file . How to play video [18:23] meskarune: i will have to wait till it is done then to turn it into that. [18:23] jiltdil: Bad file. exe files are windows executables not videos [18:23] jiltdil: are you sure a .exe file is meant to be a video? [18:24] jiltdil: Probably a virus or something [18:24] jiltdil: if it's not a virus, it's at least a wrong extension. Where did you get it? [18:24] jiltdil: what does the file command say it is? [18:24] jiltdil: where is the video from/ [18:24] jiltdil: sounds like you unwittingly downloaded a torrent [18:25] Hi. Could anybody helps me to find Unity theme of Ubuntu? Psd or svg files. I am looking it over 2 weeks but failed. Allthough Gnome theme is avaliable on github.

[18:26] jiltdil: you may need cabextract to extract it [18:26] ActionParsnip will give that a try thanks [18:26] Hi. Could anybody helps me to find Unity theme of Ubuntu? Psd or svg files. I am looking it over 2 weeks but failed. Allthough Gnome theme is avaliable on github.

Can you help me choose one? [18:27] jiltdil: means nothing to me [18:27] bbl [18:27] vandal-: thats not weak, thats a lot more than most of my systems [18:27] Hi. Could anybody helps me to find Unity theme of Ubuntu? Psd or svg files. I am looking it over 2 weeks but failed. Allthough Gnome theme is avaliable on github. [18:28] vandal-, i hear good things about crunchbang [18:28] i know puppy linux has a ubuntu version, so it would be somewhat familiar with commands etc [18:28] ActionParsnip, and which distribution would you recommend for it ? :) [18:28] vandal-: if you want lightweight then try Slitaz, puppy, tinycore [18:28] an [18:28] vandal-: it will run Xubuntu well [18:28] meskarune: there is a lost and found folder in the file system it says i do not have permissiont o access it? [18:29] thanks dlentz bananstol and ActionParsnip. i'll google something about those mentioned by you :) [18:29] i run on pentium III with 256 ram a debian6 with dwm. it works very well [18:29] meskarune: i am trying to copy stuff over to it, says There was an error copying the file into /media/ce6c5eef-8d6f-4106-a150-24a5c01f6f52. [18:30] vandal-: could install ubuntu minimal then install fluxbox and lightdm you'll get a light OS === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [18:31] Dwade09: you need to give your user permission to use the file system. or you can mount the file system in your user's home in fstab [18:31] ActionParsnip: Is lightdm really stable? [18:31] meskarune: new to linux, can you tell me how? [18:31] ActionParsnip: I don't think ubuntu minimal is all that light... something like bsd or debian would be much lighter [18:32] auronandace: that bar on my left side of the screen anyway i can move it to the bottom of the screen? [18:32] meskarune: ubuntu-mini is debian net install (with ubuntu repos) [18:33] Dwade09: if you want the file system to mount at boot in your user's home, I would suggest adding the new file system you made to fstab [18:34] Dwade09: so to open fstab you can do "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" [18:34] meskarune: i got that up [18:35] hello im french you speack french please [18:35] Dwade09: what is the name of your new disk adn what type of file system is it?

Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:36] i have a big problem [18:36] i just installed ubuntu 11.10 [18:36] jogalou: Did you try #ubuntu-fr ?

[18:40] alex123123, iirc, llano requires proprietary driver right now [18:40] Pici: my desktop here is so old it doesnt have gksudo (Centos 5) heh [18:40] Dwade09: change "username" to your own username. :P [18:40] ok i what i have to do to get into work?

[18:43] im on laptop now [18:43] !nomodeset | alex123123 [18:43] alex123123: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

I got to have it though. It is my gui editor of choice [19:13] jesus_, I think so. how is jdownloader meant to be used, and are you on a headless box / ssh'd in / or ...? [19:13] guest-EEhSNP: well, when you are in the command line, type startx, and it will throw you to a graphica interface. then you type "sudo gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf" and change the line AutomaticLoginEnable to "false" [19:14] !gksu | meskarune guest-EEhSNP [19:14] meskarune guest-EEhSNP: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:14] you don't gksu with gedit in a simple x session [19:14] alex123123: If it is not a graphics card issue I would not be surprised if it was lightdm fault [19:14] meskarune: if it is a gui app, you gksu [19:15] lol meskarune , i am just thinking of resintalling ubuntu it would be easier, and i got all my data off the windows 7 side i needed backed up, [19:15] mbeierl, i use Ubuntu 11.10 and i don't understand what do you reffer to "be used" [19:15] meskarune: Why not? [19:15] it would let me do a full hdd install [19:16] guest-EEhSNP: well, if you do reinstall, keep auto-login turned off. :P [19:16] will do meskarune i will se eyou in 30 lol. [19:16] guest-EEhSNP: yes, autologin is always a bad idea [19:16] jesus_, Is JDownloader meant to be used as a command line / terminal application, or is it a GUI-based application?

[19:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/840790/ help [19:17] irontree42 [19:17] autologin a bad idea? ouch [19:17] and now what i do? [19:17] michaelgreen: what was that about? [19:17] ah a GUI-based application, but i type on a terminal "jdownloader" cause it can't be opened [19:17] michaelgreen: the image pastebin is NOT paste.ubuntu.com === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [19:17] !paste > michaelgreen [19:17] michaelgreen, please see my private message [19:18] alex123123: What do you do?

Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it.

[19:18] no [19:18] just nothing [19:18] zacktu: run apt-cache policy linux-image-generic to see if newer version is available. To upgrade run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:19] zacktu: Did you update grub? [19:19] I don't see what the big deal is with sudo vs. gksu. using sudo uses the user's home settings. gksu uses root settings, so I think it depends on what you are doing. [19:19] !gksu | meskarune [19:19] meskarune: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:19] hi [19:19] :) [19:19] meskarune: using sudo with gui apps can break the user account - don't suggest it. see "/msg ubottu wfm" [19:19] wonder to buy a thinkpad, which one would be best for ubuntu ;) ? [19:19] zaktu did you reboot after the kernel-update ? [19:19] I use sudo all the time for gui apps unless I need to put them in a script then I use gksu for the pop up [19:20] it says image type not allowed [19:20] jesus_, and how did you create the terminal? Is this remote through ssh? What is the output of "echo $DISPLAY" from a terminal? [19:20] snow_: thinkpads are awesome, i have t40, t60, t61 and t510: all work great (avoid hybrid graphics or optimus) [19:20] snow_: Hard to say. Why a thinkpad? Are you buying ot for ubuntu only? [19:21] zykotick9: I have a sudo setting that clears out root files made in my home by sudo.... so its not an issue for me [19:21] I have a JPG file (a scanned document) that I need to convert to a .doc file. (I can convert it to a pdf but still cannot edit the text.) Installed ocropus http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/ since it looked like it would do the OCR job. Thing is, I do not see any documentation on how to actually use it. Anyone know any links? or am I trying to use the wrong program altogether? [19:21] auronandace, thinking about T520, have you used them? [19:21] but in most cases sudo doesn't make root owned files in /home [19:21] alex123123: If you hit ctrl+alt+f5 does it give you a shell? [19:21] why doesn't ubuntu just come installed with sane default sudo settings like all the other linux distro's? [19:22] wait [19:22] snow_: i haven't used t520, doesn't that use optimus? if so don't get it (linux support for optimus is awful) [19:22] meskarune: Sane defaults? Like what? [19:22] will my laptop ever hibernate or sleep? [19:22] nope never [19:22] bobo37773: you can use visudo to change your sudo settings [19:22] have they given on hibernate problem? [19:23] #ubuntu prepare for irony [19:23] then you can use sudo with GUI programs and not have any issues [19:23] how do i share a screnshot [19:23] user1_: if you have enough swap and your model is supported then yes [19:23] Yeah, I know. I meant what sane defaults do other distros have? [19:23] no i dont get anything [19:23] !screenshot | michaelgreen [19:23] michaelgreen: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [19:23] auronandace: i have a GB of swap. and my model is asus 1215B netbook. [19:24] bobo37773: other distro's don't have sudo stick root owned files in /home [19:24] user1_: and how much ram [19:24] user1_: do you have more then a GB of physical memory? [19:24] auronandace: 2 GB Ram [19:24] auronandace, you are talkinga bout nvidia [19:24] user1_: swap partition must be larger then physical memory for hibernate to work [19:24] HELP i have a weird probelm with my ubuntu! [19:24] oCean: apt-cache policy linux-image-generic says that 3.0.0.16.19 is installed -- i've never had to do any grub update -- update manager updates, and i reboot, and grub shows a new kernel -- am i supposed to do something more? [19:24] user1_: your swap needs to be at least as big as your ram [19:25] auronandace, how about T420 ? [19:25] auronandace: you mean 3GB swap! [19:25] snow_: yes, nvidia optimus is something you should avoid if you use linux [19:25] snow_: See http://www.thinkwiki.org [19:25] meskarune: Which ones does ubuntu put there? [19:25] user1_: yes [19:26] auronandace: by parted! [19:26] alex123123: When grub show up you can press e to edit command line and append 3 to the end to get to a shell. That is how grub legacy works anyway [19:26] bobo37773: in ubuntu they insist that people use gksu instead of sudo to run GUI programs, but you can just edit sudoers to have sudo's home be root [19:26] auronandace, Intel HD graphics 3000 is ok ? [19:26] zacktu: no, during install the required grub commands are executed. When rebooting, hold shift to bring up the grub menu. I'm wondering if the new entries show up. Wait, before rebooting do a grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg [19:27] user1_: yes, you can use gparted to resize your swap, make sure you swapoff first [19:27] meskarune: using gksudo instead of sudo is not limited to just Ubuntu. Heck, if you want to use sudo isntead, be my guest, but you may end up with unwanted root-owned files in your user's home. [19:27] auronandace: ok let me try [19:27] bobo37773: in your sudoers file you can have "env_reset" on [19:27] ok [19:28] pici: I have my sudoers file set up so I don't have root owned files made in my home directory. its not hard to do. [19:28] snow_: just make sure to avoid any dual/hybrid graphics and optimus and you should be fine (the newer the graphics card the less likely there is support (generally)) [19:28] meskarune: and using gksu is hard? [19:28] meskarune: Can you show me what change you've made, I'm curious to see it. [19:28] meskarune: It is not controlled from /etc/sudoers in ubuntu? env_reset? Sounds needlessly complicated. I meant what files are created in the users home directory? [19:28] oCean: I run fluxbox and xmonad. I don't have a ton of GUI applications in my install [19:29] hi, can anyone help me fix a misaligned partition? [19:29] bobo37773: its not complicated. you type in "visudo" and make sure env_reset is on/uncommented [19:30] bobo37773: i'd just use gksudo if i where you [19:30] there is no need to use gksu is your sudoers is sane [19:30] help me please [19:30] zykotick9: I never use gksudo. [19:30] i install Lazarus from Linux OS [19:30] http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/sudoers.man.html [19:30] zykotick9: Have never ran into a problem yet. [19:30] but i am that there activation not all functions and possibilities [19:31] bobo37773: that's your choice, it's not a good one, but it's yours to make. [19:31] meskarune, you could also recognize that GUI apps generally are not system admin apps and just not run them as root [19:31] !gksudo [19:31] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:31] Hey guys. Quick question: Can I use the standard Ubuntu 11.10 desktop CD to fully encrypt my drive or do I need the alternative cd? [19:31] Why not just use gksu instead? Isn't gksudo just a wrapper anyway? [19:31] is there likeany way i can like let one of you guys control my computer from yours that would be alot easier [19:32] meskarune: if you are offering help to someone and your sudoers is different to theirs, please tell them to use gksudo [19:32] randomuser: I almost never run anything as root. so I still don't see the problem [19:32] oCean: there are 5 menuentry lines in /boot/grub/grub.cfg: 3.0.0.12-generic regular and recovery; two memtest entries; and two windows 7 entries (they are for /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2,) [19:32] michaelgreen, the point is to teach you to fix your problem, not fix your problem [19:32] hi, im trying to install ubuntu but my drive is having issues partitioning, anyone know how to fix a misaligned partition? [19:32] hi...who can give me a hand....i have ubuntu and i am doing a backup of a windows computer to my ubuntu with rsync, i am getting this errors: http://pastebin.com/m6srArua can anybody help me? [19:33] soundcard issues anyone? [19:33] meskarune, the problem is that you just had a lengthy dialogue about using sudo that did not include a WHIMPER of "do you really need root permission for that?" [19:33] michaelgreen: what is the problem? would you like me to help? === pp7_ is now known as malkauns [19:33] well i have an asus eee pc surf model with xubuntu i dont want xubuntu i want ubuntu [19:34] michaelgreen, you were given the answer IMMEDIATELY after you asked the first time. scroll up [19:34] gksudo to edit sudoers? Why not visudo? [19:34] michaelgreen: have you tried installing ubuntu? [19:34] michaelgreen: don't the surf's come with a maximum of 4GB drives? that might not be large enough for full ubuntu. [19:35] zykotick9: ah good point [19:36] i have 10GB Eee storage and it had a 8GB SSD but i lost it [19:37] could anyone give me some advice on fixing a misaligned partition please? [19:37] michaelgreen: isn't "EEE storage" online? [19:37] randomuser: you DO need root permission to edit sudoers. there was a person who thought their password was wrong/messed up. root is used to fix issues or config things. in any case I think ubuntu should come installed with a sudoers file that doesn't put root owned files in home [19:37] hey [19:37] does anyone know how i can get CGI working with apache2 server on ubuntu? [19:37] no [19:38] xubuntu5, there's numerous tutorials and how-tos [19:38] xubuntu5, if you actually *search* you can find them [19:38] Jimm_ have you used Gparted? [19:38] !privmsg | xubuntu5 [19:38] xubuntu5: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [19:38] that might be the easiest method [19:38] auronandace, how about Led backlit ANti-Glare display, will it be ok ? [19:38] xubuntu5: are you tried to install already and got an error? or are you asking how to install ? [19:38] you can also do it from the CLI but to be honest using a live cd and gparted is easier [19:38] i tried that and something went wrong, then i tried through disk manager and it works but is misaligned [19:38] i installed it via sudo apt-get i just don't know what to do next [19:39] snow_: check the thinkwiki that someone posted earlier [19:39] Jimm_ ok what went wrong? [19:39] meskarune, they have a config question [19:39] meskarune, they dont know how to get Apache to work with cgi :P [19:39] i tried to make 3 partition, 2 worked fine and the last always failed but didnt give a reason [19:39] xubuntu5, you could always try in #ubuntu-server [19:39] I'm having a problem with my ubuntu 11.10 system. I installed xfce a few weeks back, and then yesterday decided to remove gnome/unity completely, which I did by copying the command listed on the url given by !purexfce. However, I can no longer access my system. When I boot up, I go past BIOS, past Grub, and then I see the xfce loading/splash screen for a sec, and then i just have a blank... [19:39] ...screen. I'm wondering if by removing the gnome/unity stuff, I accidentally screwed up X11, or perhaps my graphics drivers? Wit a lot of fiddling, I can get into TTY; I had to choose "Old linux versions" in grub, and then recovery console for ubuntu with 2.x.x kernel, rather than my normal 3.x.x. What can I do? Please help, my computer is unusable. [19:39] xubuntu5, and dont randomly privmsg people... it annoys some of em [19:39] hmmm i'm gonna need more details than that Jimm_ [19:40] (including me) [19:40] i am sorry sir [19:40] just thought you may be able to help [19:40] like what went wrong.... in which way didnt it work? did it give you an error that I can look at [19:40] xubuntu5, then you didnt read what the bot sent you [19:40] !privmsg > xubuntu5 [19:40] xubuntu5, please see my private message [19:40] and i have a 8GB usb [19:40] is the 3rd partitions a boot partition? [19:40] okay i'll try get the message uo again [19:41] basically i just want one partition for ubuntu, 100gb and the rest for storage [19:41] ah i see [19:41] so what do i edit my virtualhosts for cgi? [19:41] but it keeps saying its misaligned [19:41] auronandace: ok created 3.6 GB swap and swapon done. should i try sleeping now? [19:41] well you want to make sure your starting sectors are correct as well as the end sectors [19:41] do you have data on the drive currently? [19:41] xubuntu5, for the record, you should read the apache docs :P [19:41] xubuntu5, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/cgi.html [19:41] i am! [19:42] thanks === shock is now known as Guest53385 [19:42] user1_: it should work if 3.6 gb of swap is bigger than ram [19:42] just can't figure it out lol [19:42] right, thats where im a nub, ive only used windows partitoins before === presonic_ is now known as highrate [19:42] drive is 2.5tb and empty [19:42] wazzup [19:42] auronandace: should i restart and then try? [19:42] oh well thats easy [19:42] i was wondering i have a rtl8187 and it works decently but every so often it seems like the speed greatly degrades or i disconnect. i found a way to stop for the most part it disconnecting with the command "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" but it still slows down which leads me to my question i did a "iwconfig" and saw a part Invalid misc:272 and almost every time i load a web page it goes up. I read the man page on it but [19:42] just recreate it [19:42] jimm_ I'd boot from the gparted CD and use the GUO [19:42] user1_: sounds good, yes [19:42] GUI*... [19:43] okay i'll give that a go [19:43] Jimm_, delete all partitions so it's just one unallocated partition [19:43] i tried it from the ubuntu live disk but messed something up [19:43] meskarune, you should direct people to use visudo for editing sudoers, not gksudo gedit [19:43] try using gparted [19:43] well since it's empty you can start over Jimm_ :-) [19:44] make sure the 200GB partition is flagged as boot tho since thats gonna be your boot partition I assume [19:44] if you right click on it in gparted i think it lets you select flags [19:44] am trying iy one last time from ubuntu live disk gparted [19:44] trever420, a 200GB /boot? really? [19:44] then ill go for the other [19:44] randomuser, thats what he wants [19:44] trever420: just an FYI, but grub doesn't really care about the boot flag (ie. it's not actually required) [19:45] ah i guess thats true zykotick9... i'm using the windows bootloader [19:45] Jimm_, do you know what /boot is for? [19:45] it doesnt read the right storage [19:45] randomuser: I never told anyone to edit sudoers with gedit. :P [19:45] Jimm_ what do you mean? [19:45] say8ing its only 2.2tb. that normal? [19:46] eh nothing is perfect ;-) [19:46] 2.5TB after formatting will use some [19:46] there is overhead [19:46] i dunno the exact percentage to be hones [19:46] meskarune, my point is that you shouldn't encourage people to blindly run things as root. I'm sorry that i jumped on you , i didnt see the actual problem you were addresing [19:46] honest*... [19:46] Jimm_, WHY ARE YOU MAKING A HUGE /boot ?!?! [19:46] should i use primary or extended? [19:46] primary is fine [19:47] i like to store things on desktop [19:47] i guess if your only using Linux then dont worry about flagging it [19:47] Jimm_, only kernels are in /boot [19:47] Jimm_: there is a BIOS limitation of 4 primary partitions, so if you want more then 4 paritions, use extended+logical [19:47] the desktop is /home Jimm_ [19:47] randomuser thats niot what he is doing [19:47] he's making a large partition of 200GB which is the partition he boots off of [19:48] i assume he is maybe keeping ubuntu on one partition and data on another? [19:48] i see [19:48] so you, trever420 , decided to call that partition /boot [19:48] no i didnt [19:48] i said he should flag it as boot [19:48] very different [19:49] but then i was kindly pointed out that since he is using GRUB he doesnt need to [19:49] since i use the windows bootloader i do have to flag the partition as boot [19:49] lol, thanks mate, no idea what i did before but its fine now [19:49] randomuser: I don't tell people to blindly use root. I almost never use root after my initial system setup. but for issues like password problems or editing fstab you need super user access. people were upset about using sudo instead of gksu with GUI applications. but there is no reason for ubuntu to have that problem if the sudoers file is set up with env_reset [19:49] it's cool [19:49] :-) [19:50] could of sworn i did it that way before but heyho [19:50] Jimm: what format did you make the 200GB ? [19:50] ext3, ext4, ntfs, FAT? [19:50] 100gb is primary ext4 [19:50] ah ok [19:50] randomuser: I think its just an issue of other distro's doing things differently. I primarily use arch and bsd, but help in #ubuntu since its a gataway to *nix [19:50] the rst is one partition ext4 [19:50] what about the second one? [19:50] oh [19:50] primary again [19:51] is there a reason why you needed two partitions? [19:51] basically im running xp [19:51] i assumed you wanted to keep data on another partition you could access in both Windows and Linux [19:51] xp being a mong cant read my new 2.5tb [19:51] windows wont read the ext4 th [19:51] it's not that it cant read it... it's that there is a limit on fat drives [19:51] so i need ubuntu to manage my storage [19:52] it cant format FAT more than 32GB i think [19:52] but NTFS should have been able to read it fine [19:52] hi there, how do I start a ssh connection in 10.04? [19:52] Jimm_, format the 2.5TB drive as NTFS and it can be used on Ubuntu and Windows [19:52] Windows is not read File system ext4 ext3 and other ubuntu system [19:52] when you boot into XP now Jimm_ you are not going to see the second patition cuz it's EXT4 [19:52] yeah but xp simply cant pick up a 2.5tb [19:52] it needs to be NTFS [19:52] qw-Russian, Windows cannot read ext4 partitions [19:53] my XP machine sees 2.5TB just fine :-\ [19:53] oscar - you can just type ssh [address] in the terminal [19:53] oscar76: "ssh HOSTNAME/OR_IP" or "ssh username@HOSTNAME/OR_IP" [19:53] Oscar76 on the remote machine write in a terminal ssh ip.ad.dr.ess [19:53] trever420 speak Russian ? [19:53] i just want to boot into ubuntu to move all storage over then i can free up space [19:53] !ru | qw-Russian [19:53] qw-Russian: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [19:53] no i dont [19:53] i think... [19:53] EvilResistance, i learned yesterday, it can ! [19:53] Oscar76: or ssh user@ip.add.re.ss [19:53] OerHeks, since when? [19:54] oh i just noticed it's prob cuz it's a RAID system not a single drive [19:54] kion: It says "Connection timeout" [19:54] yeah its goy its own little card thing [19:54] but its one drive [19:54] i see [19:54] qw-Russian, Windows cannot read ext4 partitions - I agree [19:54] yea i have 8TB [19:54] its a pain lol [19:54] but it's a RAID 10 with 16 drives [19:54] should ssh be started as a service? [19:54] 16 x 1TB drives [19:54] well i have 6tb in total now but all spread out [19:54] Oscar76 check first that 1.- you actually "see" the remote machine by pinging to it [19:55] i see [19:55] EvilResistance, sinds april 2010, i was surprised too > http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ [19:55] qw-Russian, there's no drivers to allow Windows to read EXT4, there was one to allow reading of ext3 / ext2, but you're better of having a separate NTFS partition for Ubuntu and Windows to share [19:55] OerHeks, that has *never* worked with ext4 [19:55] !ext3 [19:55] ext3 is the default filesystem on older versions of Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [19:55] i've tested it [19:55] anyway im guna run off n try installing again [19:55] thank a million [19:55] np [19:55] Oscar76 and 2nd make shure that port 22 or whatever port it is listening on is open on the firewall [19:56] Oscar76 and last but not least, check that the remote machine has the sshd program running!!! [19:56] Oscar76 are you trying to ssh into a machine that's not on the LAN?? [19:56] or are you on the same network as the machine? [19:56] how do i download internet explorer on xubuntu [19:56] oscar76 if it does not try sudo apt-get install sshd [19:56] are there any packages you need for /dev/video0 to show up correctly? I have a ubuntu laptop that is able to play my webcam video via v4l2:// and I am trying to connect to a version of ubuntu that doesn't have a desktop environment to stream but /dev/video0 doesn't show up... I do get some sort of usbdev2.x to show up? [19:56] EvilResistance, I about that and talk [19:56] michaelgreen: IE is for Windows not Linux [19:57] so i only use firefox? [19:57] qw-Russian, there is a russian support channel i think... [19:57] qw-Russian, if you'd prefer to get help in Russian [19:57] well not ONLY firefox, but yes that is the primary one (and the one i prefer) [19:57] no [19:57] i am understand [19:57] i think you can use Google Chrome as well [19:57] other language [19:57] kion: thanks I think sshd is what I need [19:57] qw-Russian, i understand, was just curious :) [19:57] slight issue again... [19:57] Does anyone have a pointer on how to set up serial port access for the boot process? I've gone through the steps here (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/02/msg00426.html), but I don't see the boot output in my serial console [19:57] well it says my browser is not up to date [19:57] =) [19:58] maybe it's not up to date michael [19:58] michaelgreen, try typing in the terminal "sudo apt-get upgrade all" [19:58] !ies4linux | michaelgreen [19:58] michaelgreen: is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine.

[19:59] Evening all. Hardware clock is UTC+5, server is a virtual machine and I can't change this. I want to set local time to UTC. If I use dpkg-reconfigure tzdata, will ntp not *try* and change the hardware clock back? [19:59] the larger partition wont go through, any thing i might of done wrong? [19:59] EvilResistance, do you working Lazarys project ? ony were [19:59] dezza_k what virtualization technology are you using? [19:59] lazarus * [19:59] sorry [19:59] what do you mean won't go through? [19:59] not sure. It's a godaddy "virtual datacentre" [20:00] qw-Russian, what? [20:00] Oscar76 Sorry the command is sudo apt-get install ssh, not sshd [20:00] how large is the bigger partition Jimm_ ? [20:00] like when you click the green tick to apply the partitions [20:00] Oscar76 i think this will install both the server and the client [20:00] is there an error? [20:00] 2.17tb [20:00] kion: your right, it does [20:00] EvilResistance, what system do you use ? [20:00] =) [20:00] kion: I already got ssh, how do I get it running in the remote server? [20:01] qw-Russian, a Dell laptop, a Dell PowerEdge Server, and three netbooks :P [20:01] each with Ubuntu [20:01] oh i know why jimm [20:01] !ot [20:01] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:01] jimm_: it needs to use the GPT Partition table [20:01] understand [20:01] not the MSDOS partition table [20:01] oscar76: on the remote server type on a terminal sudo apt-get install ssh [20:01] MSDOS has a 2TB limit [20:01] qw-Russian, if you have to ask, go ask general chat questions in #ubuntu-offtopic === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [20:01] i do lurk there :P [20:01] so if i make 2 more partitions it should work? [20:01] no [20:02] hold on a sec [20:02] k [20:02] does not stand [20:02] oscar76 after installing try sudo service ssh start [20:03] jimm_ give me like 2 minutes I need to check something... i gotta boot gparted first from my Virtual Machine [20:03] hi there [20:03] If i partition my drive in 2 partition, one for OSX and one for Ubuntu. Is there a way I can install Ubuntu without a cd/usb memory? [20:03] kk, i gota grab my korma anyway [20:03] kion: thanks again, I installed it and it's now running. I'll try again [20:03] What could cause my camera to work find with v4l2:// on one ubuntu 10.04 machine but not on the other 10.04 machine? [20:04] Hello everyone here, I have dual boot window7 - ubuntu 11.10 installed on a HP-G6-1219tu laptop.Earlier i had a serious problem with my broadcom`s wifi driver i solved through internet. But now ubuntu`s default bluetooth manager says "No bluetooth adapter found" and blueman says nothing at all. I was using broadcom`s driver on windows7 [20:04] fine* [20:04] make shure that the firewall has the port 22 open [20:04] got a little problem , i copied my old 10.04 partition to an new ssd drive, and reinstalled grub , but it does not load the swap i made, how can i activate the swap at boot ? === ksinkar_ is now known as ksinkar [20:04] oscar76 you can open the port with sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -dport 22 -j ACCEPT [20:05] any tips are welcome [20:05] to auto activate my linux swap at boot [20:05] yellabs: "sudo swapon /device" should work temporarily, check /etc/fstab for the mount options for you swap (they may have changed UUID or /dev) [20:06] yellabs, http://techie-buzz.com/foss/ubuntu-enable-disable-swap-partition.html should work [20:06] well for the swap /dev/... option works totally fine [20:06] there is no need to hassel for the uuid === ractoc_ is now known as Guest49527 [20:06] thanks , i am reading it ... [20:07] oscar76 sorry i missed a minus sign, the correct command is sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT [20:07] jimm_ u back? [20:07] EvilResistance, Do you know why a camera would work fine (ie show up as /dev/video0 and be able to play with v4l2:// via vlc) on one computer running 10.04, but not work on another computer (shows up as /dev/usbdev2.X)? [20:07] sidb: using /dev in fstab isn't a good idea, they have a tendency to change (thus UUID or Labels is preferred) [20:07] yeah [20:07] ok booting gparted now give me one sec [20:07] k [20:07] DynamicFail, you should ask the channel in general, not just direct questions to me :P [20:07] i'm using the live gparted cd (not ubuntu) but they are the same [20:08] EvilResistance, You seem to answer quite a few [20:08] yellabs, after this, add discard,noatime to your Fstab [20:08] ello [20:08] hello$ [20:08] zykotick9, i agree with that. But genrally we do not do change these partitions that oftenly. === arno is now known as Guest55049 [20:08] DynamicFail, its better to ask the channel in general, rather than ask specific users [20:08] DynamicFail, because specific users have their own circles of expertise. video isnt one of mine.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [20:09] ok guys i have a problem here too. My ubuntu 11.10 is not detecting my bletooth. Please help [20:09] what thinking about ubuntu vs ati car [20:09] italian sounds nice [20:09] d [20:09] If i partition my drive in 2 partitions, one for OSX and one for Ubuntu. Is there a way I can install Ubuntu without a cd/usb memory? [20:09] Does anyone including but NOT limited to EvilResistance know why a camera would work fine (ie show up as /dev/video0 and be able to play with v4l2:// via vlc) on one computer running 10.04, but not work on another computer (shows up as /dev/usbdev2.X)? [20:09] i see i can enable and disable swap with gparted, but how do i set it so its auto started at startup .. [20:10] yellabs, via fstab [20:10] jimm_ give me a minute i gotta create a virtual hard disk to work with... [20:10] sorry [20:10] lol [20:10] DynamicFail: you might need specific drivers installed [20:10] hi! I have a problem with ubuntu 12.04. I installed it, sudo update - upgraded and now when i try to boot it shows: Syslinux[...] Error: No syslinux configuration found [20:10] yellabs, enable it, and it should be enabled on boot [20:10] Does the standard 11.10 cd installation come with hard-drive encryption? [20:10] you say i need a different table yeah? [20:10] ubuntu does not have every driver in existance pre-installed by default [20:10] meskarune, if both comps are running ubuntu wouldn't they have the same drivers... and if not how would I check to see what is different for usb/video related things [20:10] !fstab | yellabs [20:10] yellabs: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [20:10] OerHeks: actually, enabling swap will NOT update entry in fstab [20:10] nuts, someone mentioned twinview, what was the other thing to use for a multi-monitor setup? [20:11] DynamicFail: you can use lsub to list usb devices and see if they are being detected [20:11] yellabs, make sure you ask if you have questions about what to put for the swap, otherwise bad things could happen [20:11] yellabs, i also dont have a linux system in front of me, so i cant help you set up the specifics [20:11] DynamicFail: also is one computer a different architecture? like 64 bit vs. 32 bit>? [20:12] yes u need to use GPUID or GPT whatever gparted has it as [20:12] i cant remember [20:12] lsusb command not found on the comp that isn't working [20:12] i'm sure it's there tho [20:12] i found it [20:12] your right it was set to msdos [20:12] kion: It stills times out. How do I see if port 22 is open? [20:13] DynamicFail: lsub (you have an extra s) [20:13] Oscar76 on the server do sudo netstat -tvnlp [20:13] meskarune, lsub doesn't work on either machine [20:13] Friends, please someone help me here. I have a dual boot windows7 - ubuntu 11.10 running on a hp-g6-1219tu laptop. My ubuntu is not detecting the bluetooth. [20:13] meskarune, ubuntu 10.04 [20:13] hi! I have a problem with ubuntu 12.04. I installed it, sudo update - upgraded and now when i try to boot it shows: Syslinux[...] Error: No syslinux configuration found No Default or UI configuration directive found [20:13] jimm_ srry it's tkaing a bit.. i had to allocate enough space for my datastore in vmware [20:13] would update grub with swap on do the trick ? [20:13] Oscar76 and you should have a list of all the ports the system is listening to with their associated program name [20:13] just booting gparted again [20:13] kk [20:14] Oscar76 look for port 22 and program sshd [20:14] is it possible to gunzip a file but only extract files that start with temp* in the archive? [20:14] it's a really large gzip file and i don't want to extract everything in it [20:14] kion: port 22 is listed but no sshd associated to it [20:14] jimm_ u there? [20:14] In VLC, I messed up with skins. I moved the whole skins to /usr/share/vlc/skins2 and VLC stoppped working. I uninstalled it (with sudo apt-get remove --purge) and installed again, I tried again with synaptic, and nothng. O had deleted the contents of the skins2 folder, and now it says (when I start it via terminal) that it can't find the skins. Shouldn't it install everything again to the right place when I reinstall it? [20:14] yeah [20:14] are you in Gparted? [20:15] Oscar76 what program is listening on port 22? [20:15] hi [20:15] yeh [20:15] If i partition my drive in 2 partitions, one for OSX and one for Ubuntu. Is there a way I can install Ubuntu without a cd/usb memory? [20:15] ok select the larger than 2TB partition you have and delete it (make it unallocated) [20:15] done [20:15] kion: it only says tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* ESCUCHAR - [20:15] then click on the unallocated partition [20:15] going for a reboot [20:16] and go up to "Device" in the menu [20:16] yeah [20:16] and select create partition table [20:16] ok you probbably missed the las p on the command [20:16] then click the "advanced" [20:16] yeah [20:16] it'll erase everything on it [20:16] and from the drop down select GPT [20:16] then click apply [20:16] Where can I read about, how to use default ubuntu 11.10 file browser (nautilus?) through terminal? [20:17] DynamicFail: can you install lsub? "apt-get install lsub" [20:17] done [20:17] Oscar76 sudo netstat -tvnlp Dont miss the last p which asks for the program name [20:17] ok now go and allocate the partition [20:17] please man someone help me here...! My ubuntu 11.10 is not detecting my blutooth [20:17] it should now allow you to make it more than 2TB [20:17] mivulf: you can't use nautilus though a terminal, what do you want to do exactly? [20:17] DynamicFail: then run lsub as root and it will list all detected usb devices [20:17] is it okay for the hole drive to be that? [20:17] which should mean that XP can also read it [20:17] yea thats fine [20:17] great [20:17] sidb: do you have bluetooth modules installed ? [20:17] if you want [20:17] i dont think it matters [20:17] zykotick9: for example, i want to open any folder from termianl ^__^ [20:18] Oscar76 but i am shure that is sshd, ..... lets see, did you open the port 22 with the command I sent you? [20:18] meskarune, couldn't find package lsub... I really think you are thinking of lsusb... which lists all usb devices and info and is part of the usbutils package? [20:18] mivulf: "cd /path" then "ls" to list [20:18] tho if you want windows to read the other >2TB partition u gotta make it NTFS or something that windows can read [20:18] not EXT4 [20:18] i could kiss you lol [20:18] What are accessors methods? [20:18] your 100GB should be EXT4 [20:18] please dont kiss me :-P [20:18] zykotick9: yes, but how open it on GUI? [20:18] i just dont know what exactly the problem is. But neither blueman or ubuntu`s bluetooth manager detects it [20:18] zykotick9: as like double-click [20:18] john_doe_jr: offtopic for this channel. Try ##programming or another channel for whatever language you're programming in. [20:19] kion: yes I did [20:19] Pici: alright thanks [20:19] legend [20:19] how can i install kernel3.2 in ubuntu 11.10? [20:19] meskarune, i just dont know what exactly the problem is. But neither blueman or ubuntu`s bluetooth manager detects it [20:19] lol... now to delete that 2.5TB virtual drive i created on the company's vm server... lol they'd be pissed [20:19] time for curry before its too cold now, night [20:20] kion: I did sudo service ssh restart and sudo netstat -tvnlp but it doesn't show yet [20:20] mivulf: you could use "xdg-open file" to get the same effect as what a double click in nautilus would do (usually) [20:20] ok am I just completely oblivious or something? how do I get to the options menu in firefox [20:20] oscar76: sudo lsof -i :22 [20:20] how do I adjust the power settings for usb ports? [20:20] good bay [20:20] thanks from help me [20:20] jimm_ did it work ok? [20:21] zykotic10: ah, thx. Thats what I mean. So i must read now about XDG [20:21] EvilResistance, i just tries ext2read, but i won't try writing from windows on ext4. [20:21] sidb: can you install that then? oh here we go: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_lsusb.htm [20:21] mivulf: there is a Gnome version of xdg-open sorry i forget what it is though [20:21] llutz: thanks, it's there. I'll try again [20:22] zykotic10: thanks you very much! =) [20:22] which virtualisation software would you recomment to run windows? Xen? VirtualBox? [20:22] meskarune: Thanks for coming forward to help man...! I`ll check the link right away [20:22] vmware Miike [20:22] Virtual box [20:22] or vbox [20:22] which ever is easiest for you [20:22] i have a vmware server [20:23] I like virtual box more than vmware [20:23] how can i install kernel 3.2 in ubuntu 11.10? [20:23] plus there is an open source version of virtual box [20:23] i guess it depends on what you are doing meskarune [20:23] you cant cluster vbox unfortunately [20:23] :-( [20:23] is vbox == virtualbox? === AGreyCrane_ is now known as AGreyCrane [20:23] yeah [20:23] yes vbox is virtual box [20:23] I try to have mostly open source stuff on my box [20:24] i have both VMWare ESXi and VMWARE server [20:24] except that I think there's gotta be some issues with the VB kernel cuz I get hard freezes all the time on VB [20:24] meskarune, why? [20:24] it *is* free though, so theoretically I can't complain [20:24] but I still do [20:24] trever420: political reasons. its pretty offtopic though [20:24] (complain that is) [20:24] i see... i normally use open source too... but since vmware is free i dont mind using it [20:25] tho i havent used vmware player much (which i guess is similar to virtual box in functionality [20:25] trever420: you could read up on rms to know more. (richard stallman) === jgay_ is now known as jgay [20:25] kion: now I see it tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* ESCUCHAR 3843/sshd [20:25] is there a specific command to upgrade the Linux kernel? [20:25] i am very familiar with Richard Stallman i was only in his lectures for an entire semester [20:25] meskarune, I am not using usb bluetooth device. i have tried using the command sudo lspci and following is the output [20:25] sudo lspci [20:25] 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) [20:25] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [20:25] 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) [20:26] when i was at MIT [20:26] 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) [20:26] sidb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:26] Viman you mean other than apt-get upgrade? [20:26] kion: but it just doesn't connect [20:26] yes. kernel.org gives latest stable v3.2, while mine's just been upped to 3.0.16 [20:26] mauryck: sudo apt-cache search kernel-image [20:26] mauryck: I would suggest using debian testing if you want the 3.2 kernel (I'm using it right now. increased battery life on my laptop \o/ " [20:26] i was just seeing if you had a reason ;-)... alot of people say they like opensource cuz it means free... which isnt always true... i was just testing you meskarune [20:26] i am not able to know which one is for bluetooth [20:26] Viman: Ubuntu doesn't upgrade packages like that, especially the kernel. [20:27] mauryck: followed by $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.xx-yy-generic [20:27] !latest | Viman [20:27] so really 3.0.16 is the most bleeding edge it gets? [20:27] Viman: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [20:27] i have got my swap working, just wanted to say, thank you again, one of the greatest things about ubuntu is its community, hmm, yes love it ! :) [20:27] damn - Ubuntu Software Center seems to be stuck on installing Synaptic :-( [20:27] sidb, use paste.ubuntu.com and send us the url [20:27] trever420: keep the penis measuring contests to off-topic. :P [20:28] Viman: 3.2 will be in the next release of Ubuntu. [20:28] meskarune: Lets keep the language family friendly as well. [20:28] yellabs, have fun [20:28] Oerheks, Hmm i think i just got punished for that. been muted. man this IRC has got tuff rules. But i didnt meant to flood the channel...:( [20:28] pici: sorry. didn't know a euphamism for that [20:28] yeah, great ssd drive [20:29] i cant hear any noise from this one... [20:29] and its fast [20:30] yellabs, take a look at discard ( for auto trim) and noatime ( for less writing actions) [20:30] I have a workgroup issue if anyone can help I'd be grateful. ubuntu 11.10 on a windows 7 workgroup. The workgroup has a password. I'm getting an error when I attempt to access the network.... "unable to mount location, failed to retrieve share list from server". Is this password related or something else? [20:30] so gonna try again.. [20:30] If i partition my drive in 2 partitions, one for OSX and one for Ubuntu. Is there a way I can install Ubuntu without a cd/usb memory? [20:30] viman: if you want bleeding edge, use debian testing or arch linux. if you want stability with most of the bugs ironed out, ubuntu LTS is better [20:30] meskarune, how can i use debian testing? [20:30] bleh computer just crashed strange [20:30] Viman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel#Development_model [20:30] yellabs: but be warned: if you use discard and you delete files, theres no way to get them back (besides backups) [20:30] yellabs, my fstab looks like this > UUID=cb666b2a-5d6d-4ec4-a56d-a7903866933f / ext4 discard,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [20:31] hmm, yes i will do that, i will ask you later when we meet again.. to tired right now .. [20:31] hmm... nvidia-settings doesn't seem to have a way for me to configure multiple monitors, anyone know how to do this without editing xorg.conf? [20:31] mauryck: you install debian to your computer. :P [20:31] right. It's just funny because the whole userland gets updated jjust like other distros, but the kernel seems to lag behind (2.6x in 10.04, still) [20:31] mauryck: or check out linux mint debian edition [20:31] llutz, do you use noatime only ? [20:32] OerHeks: nope, i have backups :) [20:32] kaiowas: not that i can think of, unless there's an installer that works from OSX like there's a Windows installer [20:32] Viman: The rest of userland does NOT get updated after a release comes out. Only security updates for those versions. [20:32] do you have to use debian testing to get that rolling release? [20:32] I use relatime on ssd. but noatime will help with disk writes considerably [20:32] Viman you're free to join the developper's team [20:32] pici: at least it seems like it. But I see the point. [20:32] my "friend" just downloaded ubuntu 11.10, installed it via Windows 7... when he reboots the installer gets stuck, any ideas what we can do? [20:33] how do i change the tty that is displayed when a machine starts [20:33] Viman: If you want a rolling release, debian (testing) is probably for you. [20:33] thanks for the advice. [20:33] joeko maybe the installer is corrupt? [20:33] Pici: #debian would say that debian doesn't have a rolling release [20:33] try another download? [20:33] zykotic10: this isn't #debian ;) :P [20:33] I have a webcam that I'm trying to connect to from an embedded computer running Ubuntu 10.04.1 (custom build). I tested the camera and was able to play it in vlc on a normal laptop running ubuntu 10.04.3. On the normal laptop it shows up as video0 no problem, however on my embeded computer it shows up as usbdev2.X. I'm guessing there is some sort of drivers/packages not installed in the custom build... but I have no idea what. For example the custom bu [20:33] ild didn't even have usbutils installed. Any thoughts on what packages etc would need to be installed in order to get v4l2 to work? [20:34] I am using preseeding === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [20:34] meskarune, lol i have a lot of stuff in this machine. Thats not an option [20:34] trevor? [20:34] mauryck: you'll just have to wait to ubuntu to update then. :P [20:35] yeah i guess [20:36] depending on what you do with your computer rolling release or standard release can be better/worse [20:36] it is just that my keyboard writes on its own and it is a bug related to the dkms thingy and i have tried everything to fix it [20:36] so i thought a new kernel would work [20:36] my "friend" just downloaded ubuntu 11.10, installed it via Windows 7... when he reboots the installer gets stuck, any ideas what we can do? [20:37] standard release is better for servers and computers you don't want to have change constantly. also better for stability. rolling release is better for security and having the lastest software packages - which can be important if you have very new hardware [20:37] anyone knows how to change time in a local user? By command line please [20:37] trevor are you still about mate? [20:37] what's bad about xen virtualisation? [20:37] by local user I mean single user, without using sudo, I'm in a shell [20:37] man date, to change the time i think you have to be root [20:38] BlouBlou: you can use date or time to change the time and date. or hwclock if you need to change the hardware clock, but you need root for that [20:38] kion, llutz: I tried running ssh from the other pc and it says connection timeout too. When I ping from the server it can't see the other pc. may this be the problem ? [20:38] charles_____: does the installer give you any errors? [20:39] oscar76: make sure you have port 21 open in your router [20:39] meskarune: I can't then, I'll have to live with GMT time :P [20:39] oscar76: if you don't use some icmp-filtering, yes [20:39] Oscar76 yes that is the problem [20:39] hey [20:39] sup [20:40] you saw that new global menu mockup thing at omg ubuntu o.0???

[20:46] unetbootin is your tool [20:46] I finished installin git [20:46] kion: I think its 192.168.1.1 but let me see [20:46] installing* [20:46] oscar76: finally configure the router to forward all traffic to port 22 to the Serverip [20:46] Guest75773: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [20:46] I already installed it [20:46] How can I install the nvidia_173_updates package from terminal? [20:46] run it and follow the instructions, ans you should be good to go [20:46] oscar76: ok try to connect to it! [20:46] hey is there a MS office chan anywhere i have a Outllok question.. [20:47] pukeko: freenode is for open source projects. microsoft isn't open source. :P [20:47] meskarune, centerim, I had never heard of it, I am instaling it, thanks! [20:47] pukeko: you could try ##windows they might know [20:47] It only has upto verson 10.04.. [20:47] meskarune: ahh (doh!) thanks [20:48] Guest75773: you can use your own iso. just download the regular ubuntu iso file and use unetbootin with that to make a live usb [20:48] Guest: download the ISO from ubuntu.com [20:48] it works just as well [20:48] oscar76:we can find out the server ip and the router ip by issuing the command "ifconfig" on the server [20:48] so leave the version blank? [20:49] choose "disk image" [20:49] then search for the downloaded ISO [20:49] (after you downloaded it) [20:49] how do I check to see if uncvideo was installed [20:49] Ok ive doen that now [20:50] What do i put for type [20:50] usb or hardrive? [20:50] USB, [20:50] then choose it, and press next [20:50] Will this work on a sandisk cruzer usb? [20:50] How can I install the nvidia_173_updates package from terminal? [20:50] 4gb [20:50] hmm, trying to get noatime to work, but i dont know if i did it the right way [20:50] kion: ifconfig is being replaced by iproute2 [20:51] I don't know about it, but it's big enough to fit [20:51] how can i change the color or get rid of the background rounded boxes behind my unity launcher icons? [20:51] so I guess it does [20:51] anyone figure out how to add icons to the cinnamon bar? [20:51] added it to fstab, is that the right way ? [20:51] Will it? [20:51] try it, i think it does [20:51] like this [20:51] ext4 rw,noatime, [20:51] You there? [20:51] yellabs, my fstab looks like this > UUID=cb666b2a-5d6d-4ec4-a56d-a7903866933f / ext4 discard,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [20:52] yellabs: you can use relatime instead of default disk mount options for an ssd (or to save battery life on a laptop) [20:52] meskarune: thanks for the advice, just tried it on my terminal, my ubuntu box does not know that command [20:52] How do you test to see if drivers are installed... I know by default ubuntu 10.04 has uncvideo/gspca but I need to check to see if it was included in a custom build I have... and if they weren't install them. [20:52] replace noatime with relatime ? [20:52] meskarune: Does this work on a sandisk cruzer usb? [20:53] in the fstab entry ? [20:53] oscar76: how is the battle going? [20:53] kion: I found the DSL router IP address is 192.168.1.1 [20:53] kion: what do I do next? [20:53] yellabs, yes, that is oke. [20:53] oscar76: go to your web browser and as the address write 192.168.1.1 [20:54] oscar76: What're you trying to do? [20:54] Do i put anything for space used to presrve files across reboots (ubuntu only) [20:54] so relatime is better then the noatime option ? [20:54] oscar76: that will lead you to the configuration options of the router [20:54] kion: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.iproute2.html with linux kernels over 2.2 you should be using iproute2 instead of ifconfig (though ifconfig will still work, just might run into some issues) [20:54] Please answer me. [20:54] Meskarune [20:55] i hope i understand you the right way OerHeks ... [20:55] Meskarune [20:55] Guest75773: as long as your usb is formated correctly, it will work on any usb drive :P [20:55] oscar76 NAT [20:55] Guest75773: also don't fllood the channel. have some patience. :P [20:55] How do format it correctly [20:55] Guest75773: There is documentation about this. [20:55] Does anyone have a quick way of exposing SSH through my public IP? Is there any official docs on this? [20:55] oscar76: go NAT and you need to forward port 22 to the serverIP which should be 192.168.1.XXX [20:56] !usb | Guest75773 [20:56] haha [20:56] Guest75773: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:56] How do you format it correctly? [20:56] meskarune: i am using 3.0.0.16 and still does not know that command. [20:56] JonathanCutrell_: What do you mean "exposing"? [20:56] Please ive read over this im not sure what to do. Thats why i came to irc [20:56] kion: then you need to install iproute2 :P [20:56] forwarding - sorry about that. I actually have two routers... [20:57] one DSL (crappy) router/modem, [20:57] as well as a Time Capsule. [20:57] Guest75773: your usb drive should be formated as fat32 [20:57] I just need to know how to format my usb correctly [20:57] #pugbot WILL BE GOING DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE FOR A FEW HOURS. PLEASE REMAIN CALM AND EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT. [20:57] ............ [20:57] How do u format it as fat 32? [20:57] Guest75773: windows has disk tools to do that [20:57] slackin_: /asay is bad. Don't do that again here. [20:57] Guest75773: most likely it already is fat32. use the disk tools on windows to check [20:57] hmm, i scrolled back and concluded that noatime is the right option [20:57] i forgot i was on freenode [20:58] I know but how do i clear everything from usb [20:58] meskarune: ok thanks for the advice, i will document myself on iproute2 [20:58] ciao [20:58] Guest75773: In windows, right click on the USB stick > Format > FAT32, it's pretty simple [20:58] you can usually right click on the drive and there should be a format option in windows.. [20:58] yellabs: noatime will mess up time sensitive files, like email if you use a client. relatime will only add time stamps for files that are under use so mail won't be messed up, but it sill reduces disk writes [20:58] Guest75773: A bit of googling will help you. There are countless tutorials for installing from a usb stick. [20:59] do i check quick format or create and MS-DOS startup disk [20:59] are you trying to create a linux bootable usb drive? [20:59] Yes blitz [20:59] add it or replace it ( the noatime entry in fstab ) ? [20:59] there are programs that do it all for you [20:59] blitz: unetbootin requires FAT partitioned drive to work [20:59] Im tryign to figure out how to use unebootin [21:00] Can I not remove applets from unity? [21:00] this is how its now : ext4 rw,noatime, [21:00] How do I check if I have UVCVIDEO installed? [21:00] ah [21:00] Guest75773, just do quick format then [21:00] Alright ive formatted usb [21:01] now what? [21:01] yellabs: replace noatime with relatime :) [21:01] Do i put anything on unebootin where it says space used to preserve files across reboots [21:01] IanWizard-Cloud: what would you like to remove? you generally have to uninstall indicators to remove them [21:01] okey thanks [21:01] got to go , untill next time [21:02] trism: for instance, the mail / gwibber applet. I never use, I'd like to remove it... I wouldn't complain if I could add a systray, but that can be solved with other apps. [21:02] I am being patient but i just wnat you to not see the message [21:02] Guest75773: then open unextbootin and choose the ubuntu iso file, and choose your usb device. then run it [21:03] Is that all meskarune [21:03] every time apt-get install finished installing something, kbuildsycoca4 is automatically run [21:03] Do i put anything for space used to preserve files across reboots [21:03] is that from okular? [21:04] IanWizard-Cloud: the envelope indicator is indicator-messages, you can uninstall that to remove it, you can also just uninstall gwibber if you just want to remove the broadcast entry [21:04] Guest75773: You want to install ubuntu right? Then you don't need to leave space for anything. [21:04] I want windows too [21:04] Im dual booting [21:04] not off the usb drive [21:04] hi [21:04] h if i do this to my usb [21:05] can it be useable again [21:05] my ubuntu is not working [21:05] trism: I am unistalling gwibber actually, but I didn't realize that I could just uninstall an indicator. [21:05] !notworking | Dumb_ [21:05] !details | Dumb_ [21:05] trism: thx, I still find that aspect of Unity, bass ackwards. [21:05] Dumb_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:06] Guest75773, yeah you can always format it again [21:06] Awesome [21:06] Soo.. [21:06] So it will work when i reboot right? [21:07] hi, i have a problem with 10.04 lts… last time i try to update it i kicked me out of ssh… is that a known problem ? its a v-server so i´m not able to get physical access... [21:07] Guest75773: you can put some space down for preserving stuff between boots. if you reboot with the usb plugged in, it should boot up ubuntu. if not, change your bios settings [21:07] some computers can't even boot off usb though [21:07] Ok.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [21:07] will that work [21:07] just try it out and see I guess [21:08] gateway LT2104u [21:08] so does anyone know what would make kbuildsycoca4 automatically run after using apt-get [21:08] anyone have a good article on how to make ubuntu 11.10 run faster on your laptop? I have a core duo with 2gb using unity 2d and it still does not feel "snappy" [21:09] Ok its installing at the moment [21:09] Can you install drivers without having to rebuild your whole system in some easy way like apt-get ? [21:09] or any advice on how to would be great, thanks [21:09] ubottu: oh [21:09] saruji, 32 bit install, or 64 bit? [21:09] mbeierl, 32bit [21:09] make it faster while still using unity saruji ? [21:10] blitz, ok how can i go back to gnome? [21:10] saruji, then the next step I would recommend is xubuntu instead of Gnome... [21:10] I think if you log out there's a gear and you can change it [21:10] saruji: xubuntu or lubuntu are lighter distro's for lower spec machines [21:11] but should a core duo really be put in that category? [21:11] * mbeierl really needs to try lubuntu one of these days... heard great things [21:11] saruji, it's not the core processor, it's the GPU, the graphics demands of Gnome these days that is the issue [21:11] 2gh [21:12] saruji: 2 gigs of ram? My 2009 low end of the scale dell came with 4 gigs and a 500 Gig hdd... [21:12] How do i select the usb boot option in the bios menue? [21:12] saruji: as mbeierl pointed out, the real issue is the gpu capability [21:12] mbeierl, ok, I' running ati 1400..... cfhowlett that sounds like a microsoft fanboy selling me vista once said [21:13] which is why using another environment might work instead of installing another distro [21:13] right? === bgs is now known as bgs2 [21:13] * cfhowlett *not sure how to take that - chooses watchful silence* [21:13] blitz [21:14] how do i select the boot option in the BIOS boot menue [21:14] the usb boot option* [21:14] saruji, the 1400 is one of the mobility radeon cards. They are not known for their horsepower. Therefore cfhowlett's statement about lower spec'd machines is correct here, unfortunately [21:14] Hey guys, I got a question, I need a x64 but I accidently downloaded the x32 [21:15] Is there any way to update it to x64 instead without having to reinstall it all? [21:15] Simon1245: nope, reinstall with amd64 [21:15] Simon1245, there is no upgrade that I have ever come across, sorry [21:15] Hi! I've just installed ruby 1.9.1, but when I run "ri" to view the documentation, it doesn't find anything, despite it supposedly having been installed. How do I enable the documentation? [21:15] ciao [21:15] hi [21:15] Simon1245: you have to re-download the 64 bit iso and install [21:15] hello [21:15] How do i choos usb boot option in BIOS boot menue??? [21:15] Simon1245, however, if you keep your /home, then after the re-install your data will still be there [21:15] zykotic10, mbeierl ah alright [21:15] Guest75773, it's supposed to be auto set to it [21:15] Alright, I'll do it now :) [21:15] ok [21:15] i see, shame, if i want to use the full potential of the latest and greatest I would get windows for the support, I thought there was a crowd for those who arent part of the 5 consumer turn over, looks like this distro has lost that, shame [21:15] Ill try and come back [21:15] waaaagh: greetings [21:15] !list [21:15] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [21:15] Guest75773: go into bios and then choose boot disc usb [21:16] By the way, what's the biggest thing that can happen if I use a x32 instead of x64? [21:16] saruji, I don't know what you mean. If you get the latest and greatest lubuntu or xubunut it will work on your lower-powered laptop. [21:16] Simon1245: 64 bit just uses all your cores (if you have more than 4) [21:16] I mean 2 [21:17] meskarune, I just have 2 so that means that I don't need it? [21:17] mbeierl, will give it a shot, just saying this tells me that the distro is taking a different road [21:17] meskarune: 64bit has NOTHING to do with CPU Cores. It has to do with memory. Simon1245 [21:17] mbeierl, thanks [21:17] meskarune, My Windows is in x64 [21:17] saruji: use a light wieght linux like puppy for old hardware [21:17] zykotic10, I got 4gb ram [21:17] Simon1245, also the 4gb limit. above 4gb (technically 3.2?) you will need to use PAE for addressing the larger area of memory [21:17] Good evening. So, I installed ubuntu without GRUB, after which I installed if from the live cd but I can't configure it. Any help? [21:17] mbeierl, so if I have 4gb it's fine? [21:18] Simon1245: 32bit will either 1) not use the full 4GB or 2) with PAE will be a few % slower then optimal [21:18] mbeierl, It feels that ubuntu is really slow though, Windows loads much faster and shit so I thought wrong version might be the prblem [21:18] I'm trying to get an old X Windows game to work on 11.10. I've gone through a couple of different ways, and I end up with an executable game, but it's apparently missing a font dependency as it says "fatal error: cannot load font". I'm wondering if anyone could help guide me through this a bit. [21:18] What do you guys recommend, change it to x64? [21:18] Simon1245, I would almost recommend 32bit over 64 with less than 4gb as the larger addressing space causes you to have less usable memory. (reference needed) [21:18] hey guys, how would I get this command to use the ssh port 2222? ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -N -f -l user localhost [21:18] bgs2: Whine? lol [21:18] Wine* [21:19] bgs2: what game? [21:19] mbeierl, I got 4gb ram on this laptop so wouldn't it be better to switch it? [21:19] Simon1245, define slow. Anything in particular? [21:19] seryth: no, the game is for X11/X-Windows, called xjewel [21:19] codemonkey1337: add -p 2222 ? [21:19] bgs2: Oh, I see.. :/ dunno then [21:19] Simon1245: no real benefit to 64 unless you've got 4+ gigs of ram says the official documentation [21:19] mbeierl, Like loading everything a firefox app takes like 2-4 seconds and this one is completly clean [21:19] nopf: where do I add it, I tried adding it as the front parameter, and as the last parameter, but it gives me an error every single time [21:20] cfhowlett, Ah so that means I don't really need it as I just have 4gb, right unless I plan to upgrade it [21:20] codemonkey1337: i normally add it in the end... [21:20] zykotic10: if you put a 32 bit linux on a computer with 64 bit support, its not going to use all the system resources efficiently. it DOES affect how the cpu cores are used [21:20] Simon1245: firefox, unfortunatly, isn't a good comparision - it's always been slower in GNU/Linux then microsoft (swiftfox is/was an attempt to remedy that) [21:20] Simon1245, what about subsequent loads? It might just be that your disk cache is cold [21:20] Simon1245: optimize what you have and enjoy! :) [21:20] zykotik10: I've installed via a .dsc and dpkg-builder and also via a .deb and Ubuntu software center, but both cases it ends up crashing with the error [21:20] Any idea? [21:21] zykotik10: I meant to say, xjewel is the name of the package. sorry === seryth is now known as Seryth [21:21] bgs2: sorry i never played xjewel, so i'm no help [21:21] !tab > bgs2 [21:21] bgs2, please see my private message [21:21] zykotic10, Oh alright, I downloaded chrome, trying to learn linux I was really interested in this shit like 2-3 years ago but then couldn't come into a computer school... well, lost the interest of it all and now trying to learn about it again :) [21:21] codemonkey1337: just don't put it before -l and user :) [21:21] Anyone has any idea how can GRUB be configured from a live CD? [21:22] mbeierl, didn't get what you meant, sorry mind explaining your question, please? [21:22] codemonkey1337: *between* -l and user i mean [21:22] nopf: thanks man, I figured it out, it's ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -N -p 2222 user@localhost [21:22] codemonkey1337: ssh -p 2222 lets you set the port to use [21:22] Simon1245: i'd highly recommend Chromium over Google Chrome BTW [21:23] Chromium <3 [21:23] zykotic10, Thanks for recomendation, I'll get it from ubuntu software center now :) [21:23] :| [21:23] I like midori better than chromium. its lighter weight [21:23] zykotic10, How long does it take for you to loadUbuntu software center? It took me about 2-3 second for opening that aswell :S [21:24] Simon1245: i wouldn't know (i don't use ubuntu) [21:24] Oh what do you use? [21:24] Simon1245: doesn't matter [21:24] zykotic10, hmm, what would you recommend someone to use if you lets syy recommended your IRL friend? [21:24] Hello all. Im having a problem =/ When i try using the command apt-get update i get a 404 error. [21:24] Simon1245: you can use CLI tools instead of the software center if you want to install something specific faster [21:25] or try aptitude [21:25] meskarune, I got no idea what that is [21:25] d3eniz, proxy? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [21:25] Simon1245: command line interface. means you update from a terminal emulator [21:25] Simon1245: the "doesn't matter" was because it's Offtopic in Ubuntu. same goes for your follow-up question. Sorry. PM me if you want the answer. [21:25] Simon1245, open terminal and use "sudo apt-get install package name" [21:25] By the way, how did you all learn how to use this OS? by sticking around in IRC, reading books or something elese? [21:26] mostly messing around, and then asking questions when messing around fails [21:26] lots of google.. [21:26] Simon1245, practice, irc and goolge [21:26] Simon1245: I learned from a friend and taking unix admin and networking classes [21:26] Simon1245: find something interesting you want to do, try it out, research the forums, irc, video and tutorials. One bit at a time. That's how I learned how to edit video, create podcasts, etc... [21:26] meskarune, blitz, Oh that, I found that really interested 2-3 years ago but wasn't able to use it without checking google or IRC [21:26] dlentz: well.. yes and no! The ubuntu install is running on a chroot install on my android so im guessing that my androids software might act as a proxy for the ubuntu install [21:27] blitz, meskarune, cfhowlett thanks for the recommendation, what would you recommend me to start with? [21:27] I'd recommend getting around with terminal as opposed to anything else [21:27] Simon1245: choose a *small* project/task you want to do with with buntu... [21:27] or atleast trying to [21:28] hello, i am fairly new to linux and i am having a lot of trouble learning how to install software. I am attempting to install Tor through terminal, but I just cant seem to figure it out. would someone be willing to help, please? [21:28] hey, does anyone know if Ubuntu can run on a Rapsberry Pi computer? [21:28] jazz what command are you using [21:28] cfhowlett, To be honest, I'm pretty clueless what to start wiht, maybe you got some recommendation what I can start off with and slowly learn more and more? [21:28] Could someone please help me fix my GRUB via a live cd? [21:29] Simon1245, join #ubuntu-offtopic and I'll talk with you about it [21:29] Simon1245: photography. edit a picture with GIMP. redeye removal or some such... [21:29] blitz im guessing i have to start with sudo but im really not sure where to start...i was just wondering if someone could walk me through the general process === wolf is now known as Guest98307 [21:29] sudo apt-get install package-name [21:29] jazz did this: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian [21:29] do man apt-get [21:30] cfhowlett ok ill check it out. thank you [21:30] Simon1245: google for some comand ine cheat sheets. ls = list files. cd = change directory, etc and then type those into the command line to learn about your system [21:30] if you drop your Dell laptop off a boat....is it a Dell rolling in the deep? [21:30] Simon1245: you can also read man pages. put "man ls" into your terminal to read, then hit "q" to exit [21:31] Simon1245: just occurred to me: have you read Full Circle Magazine? [21:31] Innxis: what is wrong with your grub? [21:31] blitz, there, cfhowlett not sure about the gimp thing and what's Full circle magazine, meskarune I've done that before and I know the basics I think of cd, ls and stuff like that, just gotta refresh my mind quickly by going through them again I'll get onto it asap :) [21:32] I installed Ubuntu without GRUB at first, then I installed GRUB on the partition (I don't want to install it on MBR, I'm using Chameleon as a boot loader) and I can't get to configure it. [21:32] Simon1245: http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ [21:32] When I boot into the "linux" option in Chameleon it sends me to a Grub command line [21:32] !manual | Simon1245 [21:32] Simon1245: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[21:32] Innxis: you can't add your linux install to chameleon? [21:33] hey guys im still a little stuck...could someone help me out? https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian [21:33] Innxis: dual/triple boot here? [21:33] mine is "wheezy/sid" [21:33] Chameleon detects the GRUB, but grub is not set up to identify Ubuntu. [21:33] afxtwn: xrandr? [21:33] Dualboot: Mac - Ubuntu [21:34] ibnu, when i tried xrandr i got an error along the lines of unable to start X, or unable to load screen... [21:34] afxtwn: you can use xrandr or lxrandr for screen rotation [21:34] afxtwn: unable to startx isn't xrandr related [21:34] afxtwn: can you post the message [21:34] i dont know what to do here [21:34] * Milos_SD has quit (Quit: Leaving) [21:34] * beboj has quit (Quit: Lost terminal) [21:34] oops [21:34] Simon1245, sorry - what I was saying about firefox being slow to load is that the first invocation of a program causes it to be loaded off the disk. Secondary ivocations of commonly used programs have the advantage of being able to use data that is still in the cache. [21:35] jaja here https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian [21:35] im stuck [21:35] Any ideas? [21:35] Simon1245, but someone else afterwards did say that firefox is slower under Linux, so it's not a fair comparison [21:35] Innxis: did you use refit/gptsynch? [21:35] zykotic10, thanks [21:35] Now, I haven't tried that. [21:35] lets say you just did a minimal fedora/ubuntu installation. how would you rotate the screen without graphics cards, etc. is there something special i need to install. do i have to fuss about with X at all? when i tried to run xrandr it said it couldn't connect to the monitor or something... [21:35] Any tips on how to do that? [21:36] hmph, sorry but i'm running in a gui right now. [21:36] Innxis: point me to the tutorial you're using to install... [21:36] afxtwn: you need x for graphical applications. :P [21:36] I'm not trying to install according to a tutorial, I'm a freelancer. [21:37] afxtwn: http://ubuntunation.blogspot.com/2009/11/howto-rotate-screen-in-linux-using.html [21:37] Look, I'm just trying to get GRUB configured to boot my from my partition (hda0,3) without installing it in the MBR [21:37] mbeierl, oh [21:37] how do I move home to another user? [21:37] afxtwn: xrandr need a running xserver [21:37] mbeierl, I'll try chrominues ors omething liek that to see how it works :) [21:37] afxtwn, sorry - I'd like to confirm what you want. You would like the text console (tty) to be rotated? [21:38] Innxis: perfectly fine if you MUST make your own way - I would only point out that there ARE those who've done this before AND documented the struggle....https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [21:38] ibnu, thanks. that's important to know. aside from installing x, is it an installed process to get it running well enough to run xrandr and go? [21:38] Zillow: make a new user, then move your files over to that? [21:38] Simon1245, I'm a die-hard firefox user, so... You can try, but I find once loaded, ff is as quick... [21:38] mbeirl that is correct. [21:38] Hello, need help, my dmesg is filled with: "generic-usb 0003:051D:0002.0001: control queue full" making it IMPOSSIBLE to ask my APC UPS for any information. How do I fix this? [21:38] meskarune, it's that easy?? [21:39] afxtwn, the rotation using xrandr is done at a different level. That is not the correct tool for rotating the ttys. It's been a very long time since I've looked at that, but I think you might be wanting a framebuffer tty in order to rotate it. [21:39] Zillow: on my system I have home on a sepperate partition, so if I reinstall linux I can just mount that partition to home. but in your case it might be easier to just make a new user and cp files that you need [21:39] You're seriously meeting by the bushes around here. [21:39] How would I figure out which driver my webcam uses? [21:39] mbeierl, by the way can it be something to do with my computer not meeting the requierments? [21:39] afxtwn, rotation is not supported at the BIOS level. [21:39] *beating [21:40] Simon1245, bah. Nearly any computer can meet linux requirements. Just depends on what gadgets/bells/eye-candy, etc you choose to go along with it :) [21:40] mbeirl:framebuffer ttys. that's something i'll research! thanks for the breadcrumbs! [21:40] I only ask for an expiation on how to configure GRUB form a Live CD or from the GRUB Command Line. [21:40] afxtwn, it's a grub boot-loader time option, iirc [21:41] afxtwn: framebuffer ttys is a good idea [21:41] Innxis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [21:41] mbeierl, I mean this one with untiy thing, maybe that's the main reason it causes lag? [21:41] Innxis: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst form a live cd with a text editor. just make sure you know how [21:41] meskarune, that is quite brilliant. I think I will setup similar to that after this. could you by chance tell me if "everything" will be the same in the new user? [21:41] hey again :) I am a pidgi user and need some help: if I click in X pidgi completly closes. Is there a option to, when i press X, put it in the taskbar like skype for example? [21:41] I did, doesn't work. [21:42] Innxis: don't edit menu.lst - it's not how grub2 works. [21:42] thanks everyone! see ya! :) [21:42] Actually, I used update-grub from the live CD and copied the menu.lst to the grub on the disk. [21:43] No results. [21:43] Simon1245, yes. That is entirely possible. Microsoft did spend some time with (I think) Vista, to allow basic vs. eye-candy, and I think it chooses for you. With Unity, you almost need to try and decide to go 2d explicitly if it does not suit your needs [21:43] zillow: your program settings should be the same if you do that. if you save themes and icons in home those will stay teh same as well. [21:43] Innxis: did you chroot before running update-grub? see "/msg ubottu grub2" for assistance. [21:44] meskarune, would flags would be good with cp for this? cp -r? cp -f -r? [21:44] Zillow: -r = recursive, -f = force [21:45] meskarune, thankyou so much for the excellent idea of having home on a seperate partition. [21:45] Zillow: you can stack them by: cp -rf [21:45] Zillow: you can do cp -r /home/username /home/newusername [21:45] !appdb [21:45] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [21:45] Zillow: and you may need to edit a few files. don't over write files in the new user's directory unless you know its ok to do so [21:46] meskarune, excellent! thank-you so much! [21:46] I have grub 1.9 downloaded from the repositories using apt-get [21:46] installed using install-grub [21:46] meskarune, ooo yeh, any way I can skip those? [21:47] Innxis: after install-grub update-grub [21:47] Innxis: grub 1.9 = grub2 (strange i know) [21:47] !windows [21:47] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [21:47] Innxis, thanks, I never knew that was called stacking. thanks for telling me that! :) === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC === adrian is now known as Guest19259 [21:49] uh oh, I have a bigger problem now, I forgot I have a shared folder mounted in my user directory and I accidentally drag n dropped after doing a ctrl+a, any possible way of forcing this to stop? [21:49] Would you think that this is a hardware failure when my screen randomly starts to flicker like this? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4375930/fail.jpg [21:49] anyone know if theres a panel applet for just the sound control, network and other things like dropbox? rather than the email in the applet too? [21:49] Zillow: you can use the -u flag to only update missing files in the new user's home [21:49] Or could it be software? [21:49] [ error:cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)] [21:49] Zillow: you can stop something in the terminal by "ctrl c" [21:50] meskarune: I'd like to know that as well! [21:50] I hate the indicator applet [21:50] ericus: me too lol [21:50] meskarune, this was from nautilus I think [21:50] Zillow: oh. I don't use nautilus so I"m not sure [21:50] Any ideas on my monitor? [21:51] ericus: do you know if theres another applet like it without the email app thing in it? [21:51] meskarune, it's no longer a problem, I force quit it from system monitor phewww! :) [21:51] Innxis: You need to chroot first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [21:51] tyler: no, sorry. Looking for one myself [21:51] ericus: can you plug in a different monitor to make sure its not a hardware failure? === Guest19259 is now known as adrian___ [21:51] wheres all the ubuntu pros? lol [21:51] ericus: it looks like a broken inverter to me. you might have to rma it [21:52] RMA? [21:52] return to manufacturer [21:52] warranty voided :( [21:52] where can i find mouse theme a little finger [21:52] meskarune, okay then, as per your & Innxis instructions I will use cp -ru thanks again for your help. :) [21:52] ? [21:52] ericus: then you'll have to open teh monitor yourself and check the wires. you can clean them with an alcohol swab and use a soder to fix the inverter [21:53] old one like in red hat [21:53] ericus: or pay someone to do it [21:53] Hi all, I've got a quick question. Running 11.10, if I change window managers to xfce for instance, will everything still autostart? Particularly I have stuff in rc.local and want nm-applet, the power manager etc to autostart. [21:53] meskarune: It happens randomly every 5-10 mins. If I close the lid and open it again, everything is ok again [21:54] for another 5-10 mins [21:54] fsm: anything in rc.local will auto start. you might have to add in some thing to xfce's start up control thingy [21:54] anyone know of an applet like indicator applet that doesn't have email linked to it? [21:54] ericus: yeah, sounds like a loose inverter to me. it will eventually fail. you need to open the monitor and fix it. there are probably videos on youtube to show you how [21:55] thanks meskarune, I'll have a look at that [21:55] ericus: sometimes the wires will be a bit corroded, so you clean with with alcohol and then re-soder or stick in a new inverter for your monitor [21:55] !list [21:55] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[22:06] meskarune: do you really think that it could be the inverter, since the screen is working good for 5-10mins? [22:06] anonymous44: suggests are not installed by default, if you mean recommends, --no-install-recommends will disable them [22:06] could it not be some other issue?

I've fixed computer hardware for a very long time [22:07] trism: thanks [22:07] zykotic10, everything I want to move is in root [22:07] ericus: you need to use an alcohol swap to clean the wires connecting your monitor to your comptuer, and make sure nothing is loose. its easy to fix.

[22:32] (installing new ones_ [22:32] ) [22:32] zykotic10, Jordan_U: ideally i wouldn't have to install them manually at all, but unfortunately canonical's one-size-fits-all approach to hardware drivers doesn't actually...fit all, so to speak :P i'd much rather be able to let dkms handle everything but if the repository drivers don't work properly for me, then i have to do it the hard way === hive is now known as n3uron_ [22:33] * kaiowas does the happy dance after successfully installing Spotify [22:33] yay im learning [22:33] What is the latest ubuntu release with arm support? [22:33] !arm>cfhowlett [22:33] cfhowlett, please see my private message [22:34] lol-someone wants a rapsberry pi i guess [22:34] maybe [22:34] Tomtiger11: see #ubuntu-arm === q0rban is now known as q-rban [22:34] Tomtiger11: use arch linux arm? its awesome on rasberry pi [22:35] cfhowlett: Is it ready to use? [22:35] Me Too! =P [22:35] Tomtiger11: don't know, don't use. see the link [22:36] Okay well, change icons easy or not? [22:37] cipher__: if you change the theme, often you get a new set of icons [22:37] cipher__: you use the theme manager to change icons [22:37] I need a mission.. someone tell me something i have to try with ubuntu :). [22:37] ok [22:37] cipher__: or you can edit your gtk theme config files if you know what you are doing [22:37] kaiowas, sudo rm -r / ? (i kid, don't run that) [22:38] kaiowas: install and setup irssi ? [22:38] ah the linux version of the format c: joke [22:38] :) [22:38] :p [22:38] so ... uhm.. what is... irssi? :) [22:38] ill google it [22:38] cipher__: not funny in #ubuntu, for any reason === dduffey is now known as dduffey_afk [22:38] kaiowas: i wrote a wallpaper changer in python today if you want to play with it [22:38] cipher__: that doesn't work anyway, check the man page [22:38] zykotic10, given the disclaimer, I would say it was tasteful. [22:39] then what's the fuss? [22:39] cipher__: it's always only in fun until someone does it... [22:39] chipzzz: changes it randomly? [22:39] well they should probably know what rm does if they are running linux. [22:39] My ubuntu server is in bad shape. A rebuilt can't wait until 12.04 is released. Can I install the current 12.04 build and run an update once it is officially released? [22:40] cipher__: this is day 3 with linux.. But i know what it does :) [22:40] jbbarnes: if you're comfortable with an alpha? [22:40] katnegermis: yeah, you put it in a directory with a bunch of jpg's and it randomly sets them as wallpapers [22:40] Go To System? [22:40] Chipzzz: sure, ill give it a go [22:41] cfhowlett: I could install the alpha, but would I be able to upgrade it to the release version later, or am I stuck in alphaland forever? [22:41] I remember someone told me to delete my grub entries first day i installed ubuntu, and reboot. [22:41] that was brutal :p [22:41] kaiowas: ok... hang on and i'll pastebin it [22:41] jbbarnes: you can update to final, once it's released. support in #ubuntu+1 though. [22:41] jbbarnes: pretty sure the best practices path would be a clean install... [22:42] what do I need to install to fix this: make: wget: Command not found [22:42] Hello all. I am trying to decide on a hypervisor to run on my Windows 7 64 bit system upon which Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit will be ran - does Ubuntu have any official guidance on which hypervisor (vmware, virtualbox, etc.) is best? [22:42] how do I Go to System > Administration > StartUp-Manager ? [22:42] DynamicFail_2: wget [22:42] meskarune: did you mean the program from irssi.org? [22:42] DynamicFail_2: What are you actually trying to compile / install? [22:42] kaiowas: its an irc client. :) [22:42] Guest42436: startup-manager is long gone in ubuntu land [22:43] I figured :) [22:43] Jordan_U: I'm trying to get the uvcvideo driver installed [22:43] I just did this command sudo apt-get install startupmanager [22:43] test93928304: it depends on what features you want. I like virtual box as its open source. but check out both [22:43] in term [22:43] meskarune: but i like the UI, ill give it a try. [22:44] Now I'm getting: File not found: /lib/modules/2.6.35+/build/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 33, line 4 [22:44] zykotic10: Is #ubuntu+1 a separate channel for ubuntu server, or ubuntu alpha releases, or what? [22:44] meskarune: Thank you for you reply. I don't have any specific feature needs - but just was looking to see if there was guidance on what would be the most stable. [22:44] DynamicFail_2: Stop. [22:44] !ubuntuu+1>jbbarnes [22:44] Jordan_U: ? [22:44] kaiowas: here you are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/841038/ [22:44] jbbarnes: it's for alpha/beta stuff, server has a different channel [22:45] Chipzzz: thank you [22:45] DynamicFail_2: Compiling from source is probably not the best way to get uvcvideo, and you may already have it (and compiling a kernel module from source could easily hose your system). === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [22:46] Jordan_U: I need uvcvideo, i don't have it currently [22:46] how would I do step 4 Go to System > Administration > StartUp-Manager? [22:46] kaiowas: enjoy :-) [22:46] Jordan_U: be aware that DynamicFail_2 is using a custom kernel already [22:46] Jordan_U: trying to follow: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers [22:47] DynamicFail_2: Why are you using a custom kernel? (if zykotic10 is correct) [22:47] If an icon set is properly setup, can I just decompress it to /usr/share/icons? [22:47] Jordan_U: because I'm i'm using it on an embeded gumstix computer [22:48] Jordan_U: DynamicFail_2 has already stated that on another install (with default kernel) whatever they want works [22:48] DynamicFail_2: The uvcvideo module is included by default in Ubuntu 11.10, and probably earlier. We can't really support custom kernels here. [22:48] I have a webcam that I'm trying to connect up to it. It worrks on my ubuntu laptop and shows up as /dev/video0, however on my gumstix it shows up /dev/usbdev2.X [22:48] Using 10.04 [22:49] both running 10.04 [22:49] I plan on using the device with vlc to stream my webcam out the network [22:50] obviously since I don't have a desktop enviornment i will use cvlc (headless), but until I can get my cam to show up as /dev/video0 no luck [22:50] been working on it for 5 hours... given I don't know very much about this kind of stuff === root is now known as Guest30845 === Guest30845 is now known as WhiteEye [22:52] fglrx driver install.... Fails! amd/64 10.10 re-install after failed auto upgrade to 11.04.... solution? [22:53] cryptodira: you are trying to upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10 or you reinstalled ? === LtHummus_ is now known as CoasterMaster [22:53] is there a room for support of mkisofs? [22:54] meskarune, trying to get 10.10 working again.... [22:54] CoasterMaster: What are you trying to accomplish? [22:54] Jordan_U: curious if it will properly do dual layer discs (especially ones that require padding in order for there to be a valid layer break) [22:55] hi e]vereyone. [22:55] i have some DVD movies. what program do you recommend to copy them to my hard drive so that i can watch the movie without the disc? I want subtitle support and ease of copying [22:55] thanks [22:56] sweetie_, make an iso, and mount it, and play :-) [22:57] oehoeks [22:57] OerHeks: do i need a program to make an iso? [22:57] sweetie_, brasero can do that, or K3B [22:57] OerHeks: if i don't need a program/application to make an ISO, how do i make an iso? [22:57] SwedeMike: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs [22:57] er [22:57] ok [22:57] sweetie_: & [22:57] Sorry SwedeMike. :P [22:58] Is there a fast way to install GLIB in Ubuntu? [22:58] cryptodira: so what exactelly happened to break your system? :) [22:58] in fast i mean... automatic? [22:58] log: OerHeks i have Brasero on my compturer [22:58] which do i choose: make data project? make video project? Disc copy? Burn image? [22:58] kaiowas: libraries get installed automatically when you install programs that need them. [22:59] OerHeks: log : pls read above [22:59] kaiowas: glib is probably installed by default [22:59] kaiowas: if you need to install it manually for some reason, though, you can use apt-get just like normal. [22:59] hi all! [22:59] log: OerHeks so i don't need dvd::rip or something like that? [22:59] sweetie_, disc copy, and save it somewhere like ~/Video [22:59] sweetie_, or follow the url from log [22:59] jrib: s/probably// [22:59] checking for GLIB - version >= 2.6.0... no [22:59] kaiowas: what are you trying to accomplish? [23:00] installing irssi.. :P [23:00] kaiowas: then see LjL's advice: irssi is in the repositories :) [23:00] i did a ./configure [23:00] OerHeks, log : I'm on the link, but there's no mention of brasero [23:00] sweetie_: I would use handbreak to rip teh video to mkv (it has great subtitle support) iso files are huge so its better to rip to mkv or avi [23:00] kaiowas: you know how to use apt-get? [23:00] I will after i google it [23:00] I've been searching for a solution and can't find one - I want a mount point to appear in "Computer", but not on the desktop [23:00] !software > kaiowas [23:00] kaiowas, please see my private message [23:00] kaiowas: i have no idea why you're trying to compile irssi from source, but if you're set on doing that, then you need the dev package for the library, not just the library. in this specific case, the package is libglib2.0-dev [23:01] meskarune: but i want subtitle support AND all the extra scenes on the DVD [23:01] hi,where can i get download additional applications of ubuntu on a disc? im not on a fast connection and i need them to be on a disc, like additional discs of debian [23:01] kaiowas: "sudo apt-get install irssi" will get irssi installed with no need for doing any of that. [23:01] Thank you [23:01] sweetie_: you can rip the extra scenes to avi files as well. and handbrake has support for adding subtitles. read a tutorial on handbrake. unless you have a million gigs of space to waste on your computer. :P [23:01] And i dont know either why i do it, im just fooling around [23:01] meskarune: if i rip DVD, that means I just get the movie without the extras, right? [23:02] Timmy: ubuntu doesn't have that option really. You could use aptoncd if you can download from another ubuntu machine. [23:02] meskarune: i have 71.7 GB free [23:02] anyone have any idea how to do this? [23:02] aticonfig --initial=check reports: No fglrx section .... yet, synaptic shows fglrx as installed....however the driver cannot be activated.... amd/64 10.10 [23:02] sweetie_: no. you can rip all the video from the dvd to avi or mkv files and watch them. you won't have teh dvd menu though. [23:02] sweetie_: so you can rip all the extras you want. [23:02] zykotic10: what's that? [23:02] and I want to copy 20 DVDs for just a few days [23:02] Timmy: it creates a cd from teh installed programs on the other computer [23:02] meskarune: will i have the subtitel support, though? [23:02] sweetie_: you NEED to rip to video files then. otherwise you'll use up all your disk space. one DVD = 8 GB [23:03] that's good zykotic10 [23:03] sweetie_: yeah, look up a handbreak tutorial to learn how to rip dvd's with subtitles to mkv formate [23:03] anyone know how to make a mount point appear in "Computer" (nautilus), but not on desktop?... [23:03] sweetie_: you will need dvd css drivers to rip dvd's with security on them [23:04] EtgarDizz: edit your fstab its in /etc/fstab [23:04] sweetie_: if you really want the whole dvd you could use something like "cat /dev/dvd > Movie.iso" then play that ISO (includes everything) [23:05] zykotic10: he only has 70 GB and wants to rip 20 dvds. so saving the iso files won't work. :P [23:05] meskarune: I've tried this, my mount are in listed there. they are in /mnt (not in /media) and don't appear in "Computer". any idea how to put them there? [23:05] EtgarDizz: change your mount point in fstab === t is now known as Guest62468 [23:05] hello [23:06] EtgarDizz: i don't think anything mounted from fstab will show up in nautilus' computer/desktop/etc. [23:06] OerHeks, log zykotic10, meskarune: Thank you 4! [23:06] meskarune: change it to what? currently it's /dev/sda4 /mnt/part1 [23:06] bye for now [23:06] EtgarDizz: /dev/sda4 /media/part1 [23:06] could someone give me a link for an ubuntu with kernel 3.2 plss [23:06] pls [23:06] zykotic10: I know that if I mount something in fstab under /media, it will show up in BOTH desktop and Computer [23:06] alex13231: why do you need the 3.2 kernel? is there a real reason for you to need it? [23:06] anybody know if there is an app to open up facebook in terminal? acebook doesn't work n elinks or links2 [23:06] yes [23:07] EtgarDizz: i don't "think" it will show up anyway you do it. [23:07] because that kernel has a fixed bug [23:07] that the previous wasn't fixed [23:07] meskarune: if I do that, the mount appears on desktop also.. I want it to be only in "Computer" [23:07] it is the bug the llano cpus [23:07] alex13231: then you should install debian testing. ubuntu currently doesn't have the 3.2 kenel. or try out arch linux [23:08] hey i have ubuntu 11.10 and want to install HUD.. can anyone tell me how to go about it? [23:08] arch linux doesn't have a gui... [23:08] at install [23:08] EtgarDizz: then change your desktop icon settings so its not on teh desktop [23:08] alex13231: don't install Debian Testing, it's not for general consumption [23:08] it is hard to install.. [23:08] ok [23:08] alex13231: yeah, but you can install your own GUI, just follow the wiki [23:08] alex13231: Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2 has the 3.2 kernel. [23:08] ohhh [23:08] alex13231: or try out linux mint debian edition [23:09] alex13231: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide [23:09] is ubuntu 12.04 an alpha rc? [23:09] alex13231: I"m running the 3.2 kernel right now with fluxbox. but you can install gnome or kde or anything else too [23:09] meskarune, zykotic10: the point is I want to keep the functionality for USBs etc - when I plug them in, they automatically mount to /media and show up BOTH desktop and Computer. but for my partisions, I want them to be ONLY in Computer - that's why I didn't mount them in /media... any ideas how to do this??? [23:09] im on windows right now [23:10] alex13231: don't use ubuntu alpha unless you want to deal with bugs. :P [23:10] ok... [23:10] EtgarDizz: i'm no help. good luck. [23:10] EtgarDizz: mount them in another place, like your user's home folder. /home/username/media [23:10] so how im gonna get iso with kernel 3.2 preinstalled? [23:10] is this possible? [23:11] alex13231: you have to install debian testing or arch linux. you can't do it in ubuntu [23:11] ok [23:11] alex13231: look up linux mint debian [23:11] meskarune: if I mount a partition in /home/username/media, it will show up in Computer? [23:11] alex13231: LMDE is very buggy, with a super small development community, and even smaller support options (but do what you want) [23:11] and not show up on desktop? [23:12] EtgarDizz: after mounting in your user's home, do a system link to /computer [23:12] EtgarDizz: after you system link, it will show up in computer [23:12] i want a OS that i can escape from windows [23:12] i want to leave back windows [23:12] this is just a sham as well [23:12] alex13231: look into rolling release linux OS [23:13] the only game that i play those days is LoL [23:13] alex13231, is kernel 3.2. a necessary condition for escaping windows? [23:13] yes [23:13] lint: he has hardware issues that the new kernel fixes [23:13] meskarune: sorry - what is /computer? [23:13] hola [23:13] alex13231: rolling release lets you have better support for new software [23:13] EtgarDizz: you are the one who keeps refering to a directory named computer. :P [23:13] alex13231: I mean new hardware [23:14] at the price of 700MB updates each two weeks [23:14] anwyays, I got to go. getting off work. [23:14] bai [23:14] meskarune, he means computer:// [23:14] meskarune: miscommunication :) I mean "Computer" in mautilus (computer:///) [23:14] alex13231: not to mention, rolling releases mean untested/buggy software [23:15] zykotic10: no, it means its rolling release. in arch linux they have a stable and testing version. both are rolling release [23:15] zykotic10: its the same for debian [23:15] meskarune: not to mention, rolling releases mean untested/buggy software [23:15] NO it doesn't [23:15] EDG [23:15] you have obviously not used a rolling release distribution before zykotic10 [23:16] meskarune: actually, i ran gentoo for years. with untested/buggy software [23:16] is there a quick method for creating my own deb package repo? [23:16] rolling release is just an update model. thats it. [23:16] zykotic10: gentoo is not arch linux or debian [23:16] What is the best command to copy a large amount of data AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, NOT MODIFY PERMISSIONS/OWNERS? rsync, cpio or standard cp -p [23:16] !checkinstall | nate_h [23:16] nate_h: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [23:16] MoleMan: I'd use rsync [23:16] nate_h: that's does NOT create DEBs you should be distributing though [23:16] anwyays, I got to go. see ya'll [23:17] zykotic10, I doubt he meant this [23:17] Just trying this out, I'm rather new to this. [23:17] no no, i have debs already [23:17] zykotic10, he wants loccal mirror [23:17] i just need to generate the metadata for the files [23:17] ie gem has gem generate_index ,etc [23:18] nate_h: oh sorry you might want to check out apt-cacher (or apt-cacher-ng) for a local mirror (if you have multiple machines/VMs) [23:18] meskarune, Lint, any ideas on how to do this? [23:18] meskarune: will rsync definately not modify the owners etc? I've just moved my entire system to an LVM and booted it to find everything is owned by root... not happy :( [23:18] just need to create a new repo to test some debs [23:18] i guess dpkg-scanpackages [23:19] alex13231: I've been using 12.04, and it's really not that buggy. If you really need 3.2, then I'd say to go for it. [23:19] MoleMan: "man rsync" i believe you need a "-a" switch [23:19] Would LoL rune fine with the alpha rc? [23:19] run* [23:19] alex13231: No idea. [23:19] k [23:23] Can someone yell at me? I'm seeing if tint2 makes xchat light up on the taskbar [23:23] craigbass1976: LIKE THIS? [23:24] MoleMan, Awww, I'd just come back to check. Do it again in a couple seconds. [23:24] craigbass1976: LIKE THIS? [23:24] MoleMan, Yes. YAY! [23:25] How do I turn my ubuntu machine into a SOCKS5 proxy? [23:25] or should I use ubuntu-server for this [23:25] craigbass1976: :) You're welcome... although thats how I felt this afternoon when I got my system to boot from LVM, although I then found a massive issue... I hope you have better luck :) [23:25] MoleMan, I've been giving GNOME3 a whirl since before Christmas (in Fedora) and Unity since last week (a Precise build) and I just can't deal with no taskbar.

[23:47] Canadian1296: Canadian1296 I think it actually does a "tail /etc/motd" [23:48] Chipzzz: no i did mean motd.tail, it's present on debian and older ubuntus [23:48] Chipzzz zykotic10: It is motd.tail on older distro's of Ubuntu, but am on 11.10. Any ideas? [23:48] zykotic10: where is it?

Probably safer from an archive [23:51] !it | Riccardo [23:51] Riccardo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [23:52] Now I am confused, which is safer? official release or the repos release? [23:53] whichever is newer & has the latest security patches [23:53] Sensiva official [23:53] WhiteEye: What are you trying to do exactly? To ssh into the box just use "ssh user@ipaddress" [23:53] zykotic10 do you mean automatical updateS? [23:53] Couldn't the newer ones potentially have more overlooked bugs? [23:53] Sensiva: i recommend you use the ubuntu repo version, but do whatever you want. [23:54] Sensiva: The archive from Wordpress.org is safest. But there is nothing wrong with using a repo, and it's a lot easier to update [23:54] Canadian1296: No, I need to put thoose two "keys" into a folder [23:54] cipher__: with any luck, they eliminate bugs as they go along ;-) [23:54] !list [23:54] 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 ». [23:54] Canadian1296 how is this true? isn't ubuntu repos continuously patched for security? [23:55] Sensiva: yes it is [23:55] WhiteEye: Ubuntu should generate any nessesary keys the first time you ssh in. Are you doing anything out of the ordinary? [23:55] now he is saying the official release from wordpress.org is safest :D [23:55] Sensiva: Yes it is. Go with the repo. It's your best bet cause you can update with your package manager. [23:55] Sensiva: yes it is (re: isn't ubuntu repos continuously patched for security) [23:56] i have mistakenly upgraded to nfs 4. is it possible to downgrade to nfs version 3? [23:56] Canadian1296: yes. im editing a script so it fits my settings and I need to generate thoose keys and put them in the folder [23:56] Thank you all [23:56] Sensiva: I am saying the archive is probably safest, but there is nothing wrong with the repo. Use the repo. [23:57] Canadian1296 the repo version is old, and the skin I like needs 3.2+ while the version in the repos is 2.9.2 for lucid and 3.0.2 for oneiric [23:57] WhiteEye: Are you having trouble generating the keys, or getting them in the folder? [23:57] Sensiva: Then use the tar archive from wordpress.org [23:57] well. I`d say both. hehe [23:58] I thought I could use sshd:generate [23:58] or something [23:58] What is the terminal command to view what video drivers are currently being used? i've managed to lose my cheat sheet. :( [23:58] Aelingil: lsmod
