[00:00] Earthcore: I'm not sure what you're asking... [00:00] new kernel is noticeably more robust with a perky response time [00:00] werdnativ: not until precise at a guess. Backports to PHP for lucid will be security fixes and cherry-picks, unless you use a ppa [00:00] curiously, dpkg -L php5-mysql shows an ini file for loading mysql.so extension, but there is no mysql.so library. [00:01] the problem is I'm missing the mysql.so and sqlite.so libs... [00:02] anyone able to help me configure grub? im already in over my head lol [00:03] Freedom_: why are you trying to configure grub? [00:03] to boot from 2 hard drives [00:03] i have got as far as installing grub customizer [00:04] <_Marcus> Can someone help? I need to have tty start when the operating system loads. What do I do? I am in Rescue Mode and am on the command line in there. [00:05] Freedom_: there's probably a hardware workaround...Install one OS per HDD. On boot, hit the f## key to bring up the temporary boot options. Specify and fly. [00:05] hello [00:05] <_Marcus> hi [00:05] kenalex: greetings [00:05] _Marcus: what you mean by start tty? I think it will start automatically. And what is rescue mode? grub? === orion is now known as Guest42657 [00:05] f## key? [00:06] is ubuntu 10.04 best for development or should i go with 11.10 ? [00:06] f11 f9 or any F key that opens boot up menu when booting machine [00:06] okeydoke [00:06] for my asus board the key is F11 [00:06] <_Marcus> Stanley00: I booted the installation CD and went into Rescue Mode. It's not GRUB command line, it's bash. And I am at the root folder(/dev/sda1) [00:06] ok. [00:06] kenalex: there is bot best, and both of them are good too :D [00:06] thanks [00:06] <_Marcus> Stanley00: Which is / [00:06] is there any ubuntu that is dedicated for biological applications apart from biolinux [00:06] kenalex: I'd suggest LTS -but I'm not a dev. Perhaps you want to ask @ #ubuntu-devel ? [00:06] <_Marcus> Well, I'm really in sh [00:07] <_Marcus> Now I'm in bash [00:07] <_Marcus> So how do I edit what loads at startup(not when I log in, when the operating system starts up) [00:07] _Marcus: are you want to custom grub? === asd is now known as Guest63205 [00:07] *customize* [00:08] <_Marcus> Stanley00: No, I want to load tty by default. When I start up Ubuntu there is no command line to type in. [00:08] kenalex: depends what you mean by dev? What are you going to be doing? [00:09] _Marcus: are there any ttyN.conf in /etc/init ? [00:09] _Marcus: oh, I see, you can boot up your Ubuntu normally, then edit a line in /etc/default/grub, [00:09] I'm doing fsck -c, and it's been on the checking bad sectors part for 2 hours, stuck at 1.8%. Is my hard drive kaput? [00:09] ouch [00:09] <_Marcus> overclucker: tty1.init to tty6.init [00:10] <_Marcus> overclucker: No [00:10] <_Marcus> overclucker: I maent [00:10] <_Marcus> overclucker: meant* [00:10] perfekt: how big a drive?

[00:31] is there a file where firefox's session tabs are stored? [00:32] Hilikus, yah history [00:32] <_Marcus> The iso that is mounted in Virtual Box isn't showing up in /media/, what is wrong? [00:32] levitsky: WHERE HAVE THEY MOVED TOO? [00:32] oops caps [00:32] hiexpo: weird name since it is not the history i want, but what's the file? where is it? [00:33] Rurd2di: http://webchat.power2all.com/ [00:33] Hilikus, whatyou want the recentlyclosed tabs is that what you are saying ? [00:33] Rurd2di channel #anonops [00:34] Hilikus, oh i read wrong what you want maybe look in ./mozilla folder [00:34] hiexpo: no, the list of tabs open. when i restart firefox my old tabs are always there so there must be a file that says which tabs are open. i don't want the history [00:34] firefox crashed and i lost all my open tabs [00:34] _Marcus: What's happening? [00:34] so i want to recover my session tabs from my backup [00:34] but i don;t know where they're stored [00:34] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: I put in the iso in Virtual Box and Ubuntu isn't detecting it [00:35] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: It's in the "disk drive" emulated by Virtual Box [00:35] Hilikus, you have rem history enabled with firefox ? [00:35] _Marcus: did you install dkms? [00:35] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: no [00:35] _Marcus: What host are you running it on, and what iso did you attempt to use? [00:35] how can i run $DISPLAY for one command and have it go to the display i want? [00:35] or set it [00:36] hiexpo: yes, but again it is not the historyu i want! i don't want the pages that i was looking before, i want the pages that were OPEN [00:36] _Marcus: how do I say this gently...please read the manual. DETAILED instructions are provided in VirtubalBox Help menu for installing guest additions. [00:36] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: It said it was installed [00:36] _Marcus: thought you said no... [00:37] hello [00:37] _Marcus: sometimes I've had to Ubuntu eject and VirtualBox Machine eject the ubuntu iso or the guest additions iso wouldn't read === Nick is now known as Guest34676 [00:37] Hilikus, if you have history disabled it will not rem them but if you tick the history and look it will show you the most recently closed tabs inwhich will be the ones that were open when you crashed [00:37] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: It is the guest additions iso [00:38] _Marcus: the guest iso does show up on the virtual buntu? [00:38] If I have 600k pdf files of size 10kb each. Is it feasible to grep through all the text inside the pdf's? [00:38] <_Marcus> cfhowlett: No, it's not showing up in Ubuntu. [00:38] And is it possible? How? [00:38] _Marcus: Are you using a gui or cli only install of ubuntu? And did you mount the cd in ubutu? [00:39] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: cli [00:39] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: I didn't mount it in Ubuntu. How do I do that? [00:40] _Marcus: Then you have to mount it. You use the command "sudo mount /dev/ /mnt" So the cd rom is in /dev, and you have to find out what it's called. If it was 123, you'd use "sudo mount /dev/123 /mnt" [00:42] When trying to run gnome-tweak-tool, it crashes and I have this terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842455/ Any idea? [00:44] _Marcus: Okay, type "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt" It will tell you it mounted read-only. Change to /mnt (cd /mnt) and run the install script [00:44] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Thank you! [00:45] _Marcus: No problem :) [00:45] _Marcus: If you run into any problems installing it, let me know :) [00:47] if I try to run gnome-tweak-tool I have this terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842455/ Any help?

I don't think your router is the problem. [01:29] I agree [01:29] What ver of Ubuntu are you using/ [01:30] Ubuntu server 11.10 or whatever with ubundu desktop gui [01:30] inside vmware on windows 7 [01:30] ok, that should cause any problems.. the only thing I can think of causing a problem is possibly Windows Firewall. [01:30] Will ACTA sue me if i got ASCII pr0n on my iGod Tablet? [01:31] ohh [01:31] wrong [01:31] lol [01:31] Windows firewall is dead and gone [01:31] plus i tried from my phone too. [01:31] ok.

[01:32] Is anonymous or anon an actual user setup on your server? If so, then you should have to Chmod a folder you create as that user. [01:32] should not have to that is. [01:32] No I never created a user account [01:33] I thought it was in the config if you WANTED to you could dedicate a user to the ftp, but if not it just stored it on the current user [01:34] does anybody know if ubuntu 11.10 corrected the dimming problem im experiencing [01:34] Sorry, I don't know enough about using anon for ftp. I have always created users on my box with very strict permissions for secure ftp and ssh. [01:35] anyone else have any insight?

[01:39] k, I'll try that...thx [01:39] Wireless keyboards "CAN" work but they usually don't. [01:39] for POST keyboard presses. [01:40] wouldn't the CD show up in startup disc either way though? only my hard drive is listed there [01:40] sorry, I don't know anything about MACs, despise them actually lol [01:40] this is pissing me off === Logan_ is now known as eating [01:40] no, because Mac OS doesn't recognize the filesystem.

There are a ton of howto videos on Linux on a G5 [01:43] Hello. When I install [kx]Ubuntu, can I tell it to leave my MBR alone? [01:43] PastorBones, all i know is the mactel pages > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ#How_do_I_get_a_Mac_to_boot_from_CD.3F [01:43] i checked the dimming and it doesnt work after more than five minutes it would dim [01:44] Ubuntu doesn't return from sleep mode on my laptop. Anyone else have this issue? [01:45] I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having the suspend/hibernate issue where it doens't come back from suspend mode. Any solution for this? [01:45] SmartTowel: on a dell? [01:46] almoxarife: on a sony vio [01:46] everything else is working perfect, this is the last thing and then i can be free from......cough, Windows. [01:46] _Marcus: I figured out how to make it perminent. And i think cfhowlett left so if you're there say something :P === aarcane__ is now known as aarcane [01:47] ANYONE? Anonymous ftp with vsftpd...can't upload files or create folder...even tho I edited it in config...am i missing something? [01:47] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Yeah, I did a whois and he's gone. [01:47] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: So, how do you do it :D [01:47] PastorBones, hold option while it boots [01:47] Okay, well that's too bad. I'll tell him later. Hang on I'll pastebin it. [01:48] almoxarife: did u have a solution for Dell/ [01:48] ? [01:48] theunholy: Did you restart the vftp server after making the config changes? [01:48] yes sire [01:48] Well, Im stumped. I will look around.. brb [01:48] SmartTowel: no, never have, still a mystery [01:49] is there an app for changing gtk theme colors? [01:49] theunholy: http://www.wikihow.com/Setup-vsftpd-FTP-on-Ubuntu-Linux [01:49] that might help.. maybe? [01:50] does anybody know where dconf-tools is located [01:50] SmartTowel: the suspend/restore process creates a log, have a look [01:50] type "whereis dconf-tools" [01:50] or "su whereis dconf-tools" [01:50] ok if your saying i need to create a user account for this to work then thats it.. [01:50] cause i did not [01:51] it seems like you do. [01:51] Can ANYONE else verify this with vsftpd? [01:51] theunholy, ah point 10, port set to 20 no [01:51] read it, it is all there [01:51] what? [01:51] theunholy, see the url from N3ffa [01:51] lol [01:51] yeah, its pretty clear in that howto [01:51] where does ubuntu retrieve it's sata drivers from after it loads the initrd image? I'm not seeing any in this image that I extracted [01:52] theunholy, or leave it, and connect to port 20 [01:52] hi guys [01:52] whats the channel of ubuntu server [01:53] 20 is correct [01:53] ruben23, try #Ubuntu-server [01:53] for the data side [01:53] Reasking: I want Ubuntu to leave my MBR alone - forever. Preferably not to touch it when installing and never during updates -- which I have experienced before. Is this possible? [01:53] is there an app for editing gtk theme colors? [01:55] In case anyone one was interested in my gdm question, the answer is, /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-set-default-session gnome-classic [01:55] nice Edgan [01:56] I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having the suspend/hibernate issue where it doens't come back from suspend mode. Anyone have a solution to fix this? [01:56] joshritger: Who needs apps when you have the command line (Isn't Linux great? :) )? [01:57] why yesh Canadian1296 it is [01:57] PastorBones: Just fyi there was no sarcasm intended. [01:57] um, I don't like terminal that much, I know I have used an app for it before, but can't remember what it was [01:57] SmartTowel: That could be a number of problems but usually related to the power management of the actual machine your using. Google your machine, laptop or motherboard with linux and power management. [01:58] That will usually bring up a guide on setting up the correct pm settings. [01:58] I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm having the suspend/hibernate issue where it doens't come back from suspend mode. Anyone have a solution to fix this? [01:59] SmartTowel: What kind of computer? [02:00] N3ffa: a sony vaio laptop [02:00] ok, hold on a sec. [02:00] what model? [02:00] I will look up your motherboard settings. === Twinkletoes_ is now known as Twinkletoes [02:01] pcg-61611L [02:01] SmartTowel, are you selecting suspend, or hibernate? [02:01] <_Marcus> So Canadian1296: Did you get it? [02:01] i was trying with suspend. [02:01] actually, i was just closing the lid. [02:01] which defaults to suspend in gnome i believe [02:02] My particular laptop, a lenovo thinkpad t420is suffers from a similar issue: it can suspend and resume just fine, and it can hibernate just fine, but it aint coming back from hibernation. [02:02] lion42: did u have to do anyting for it to work? or did it already work? [02:02] If I slip and hit "hibernate", I need to reboot. [02:02] _Marcus: Yes I did, but I'm an idiot so I didn't back up the original config files first. I had a snapshot so I restored and re did it just to work out a couple bugs. I'll post it now [02:03] SmartTowel, unfortunately, it does not appear to have a solution. I'd suggest trying manually suspending and manually hibernating to see if your computer can come back from either of those. [02:03] try this http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug [02:04] not sure if it will work for the new version. [02:05] _Marcus: By couple bugs, I mean it screwed up the grub boot menu. There was several repeated options and they were marked as "old installs". But now I have it working properly. Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842521/ :) [02:05] Can someone tell me how to add a startup script to razor qt?

[02:08] !patience | kurtcocaine [02:08] kurtcocaine: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [02:08] kurtcocaine: theres a fontset, or setfont command that can change the console fonts. theres a systemconfig file that defines the default font also. in /etc/ somewhere i recall [02:08] theunholy: What exactly do you need to do? Set the owner, permissions, what? [02:09] Dr_willis: thanks [02:09] chmod the user dir so the user can ftp? === MediaDoneRight is now known as mdr_meetup [02:09] kurtcocaine: i recall ages ago the webupd8 or askubuntu blog site having a guide on differnt terminal/console fonts [02:10] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Thanks :D But it's a bit big. I'll mess around with the settings, see what I can do to make it fit my screen size. [02:11] Hi, just upgrade my ubuntu to 12.04. Then have problem with dnsmasq, it can't resolv hostname listed in /etc/hosts if it is not listed at the top of /etc/resolv.conf [02:11] that didnt help [02:11] if 127.0.0.1 at the top of /etc/resolv.conf, then it can't resolv external IP (e.g. google.com) [02:11] Dr_willis: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/7-of-best-ubuntu-terminal-fixed-width.html [02:11] thanks [02:12] _Marcus: Yeah I fixed the bug though. You got version 2 :P And that's just the size I used. I recommend editing the commands per boot (shift while booting, e) and changing the numbers till you find something you like, then rerunning the mod I sent :) [02:13] kurtcocaine: thats not for the console - but the terminals. http://askubuntu.com/questions/63824/can-i-change-the-linux-console-ctrlaltf1-font-to-ubuntu-mono [02:13] _Marcus: Oops, I read that wrong. I thought you said it's a big bug, not its a bit big. And like I said, mess with the numbers, then once you find a good one use the instuctions I gave you [02:13] setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/UbuntuMono-R-8x16.psf [02:14] or whatever font psf file you want. :) [02:14] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Okay, thanks! [02:14] _Marcus: No problem :) [02:15] kurtcocaine: http://askubuntu.com/questions/29328/how-do-i-increase-the-text-size-of-the-text-on-a-console also seems good.

I tried using "vga=791" but it informed me it is depreciated and to use "gfxpayload=1024x768x16, 1024x768" so i found a way to get it automatically included in the grub config. I'm guessing here, but its probably the color bit depth. Like 1024 width, 768 height, 16 bit color.

[02:46] My laptop (Running Ubuntu 10.04) won't boot into the OS as far as I can tell, it gives me the message "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg". The LiveCD won't mount the drive either. [02:47] Did anything change (config wise) or hardware wise before you go the error? [02:48] No, nothing changed, but the machine overheated and shut down before this happened. (It's a Toshiba Satellite, they're prone to overheating) [02:49] hrm, sounds like your drive got corrupted or failed... I can't be sure but if the default init isn't booting than that's likely the problem. Especially if the LiveCD isn't mounting the drive. [02:50] Bugger. Is there any way to recover my data from the drive? [02:50] how do I pipe to the clipbaord? [02:50] before ruling out a bad drive, you can try to format it again. You will lose everything but if it's just a curupted filesystem than that should work.

If I try to access it again ("97 GB File System") it says "unable to mount 67 GB filesystem, a DBus error, and "An operation is already pending".

I would try sudo dpkg -r unity but that's just a wild educated guess. [03:49] ground* [03:49] This a fresh install, sometimes my mouse freezes, but the system still responds to keyboard input.

[03:51] N3ffa, ok. thanks. just wondering if anyone did that already without problems.

Make sure you really want to do this [05:37] #java [05:37] linqer, sorry /join #java [05:37] #java [05:37] does not work... not on freenode for some reason [05:37] linqer, like I posted it with the /join [05:37] use /j java [05:37] sure it does [05:37] ##java [05:37] freenode #java [05:38] urfr332g0: thanks ,but I can not ,i enter /join #java [05:38] linqer, you just did [05:38] linqer, no space before /join. [05:39] i dont even wanna use it for packet injection [05:39] i just want it as a wifi adapter [05:39] :( [05:39] !cn [05:39] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [05:39] it's /join ##java [05:39] LOL. I saw many people joined #java from this channel except linqer. [05:39] somsip: Yes I'm sure.Could you give the ppa address? [05:39] I see #javahelp, no #java, though [05:40] Maybe I'm just not seeing something... [05:40] its ##java ffs [05:40] hola pangolin > idleone how it goes ? [05:40] overclucker, your correct sorry about that [05:40] xjiujiu: I don't have it. I found it easily before by searching. [05:40] /join #java does work. [05:40] use /j java [05:40] "/join ##java" works too [05:41] how many cooks do you need to make a pudding? [05:41] * warhell sighs [05:41] i am need a beer [05:41] not many [05:41] theres way too many cooks in here [05:41] so no one can help?

I thought I gave you the answer? [05:43] no you didn't [05:43] warhell, don't sigh, precise kernels would not be supported. [05:43] aircrack for one doesnt have my drivers [05:44] i have a rt3070 device, and apprently over google, no one has found a solution and no tutorial in installing it either. [05:44] warhell, if youre trying to crack stuff you probably be better compiling your own tools [05:44] I still can't get any result out of "/join # #java" even tried "/join ##java" ... nothing. [05:44] warhell, ok whats your card again and what chipset ? [05:44] so if you ask me its a big enough issues to come here and ask a offical channel [05:44] victicom: do [05:45] victicom: do "/join #java" without qutoes in your irc chat [05:45] I know... I don't type the quotes, lol. [05:45] i have a alfa awu36nh, it uses rt3070 chipset [05:45] Still, though... nothing happens.

[06:13] if i wanted to do that i would install backtrack [06:13] warhell: there isn't anything wrong with using aircrack, and you said earlier you were [06:13] instead of ubuntu 11.0 [06:13] 11.10 [06:13] http://pastebin.com/3YTi3gVM are the errors before the initramfs login prompt [06:14] no i didnt [06:14] does BT not have the patched drivers?

[06:18] 1 sec [06:18] The list in Ubuntu for Kodak printer is about 5 [06:18] mpgutta: you can limit what ip's use the port, or have it be lan only. check your router's manual [06:18] meskarune: ok sure. [06:18] mpgutta: no, you need to add a route from the router to the PC [06:19] cyphase: thunar has some "user friendlY" X( bulk features yo umight try [06:19] but i'd think scrpiting it would be easier [06:19] *scripting [06:19] warhell, angepasster-2011_0406_RT5390_RT5392_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO.zip [06:19] Is there a better room for Monit questions or is it ok here?

Can anyone see if they get the same error? I'm trying through this method: https://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?brand=CHMO&installdataindex=homepagepromo . I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, amd64bits version. [06:27] sorry to say v=but about as smart as a box of rocks group > some people just refuse to learn === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [06:27] _Brun0_, for some reason, its been acting up today. [06:28] Hello! My laptop screen's right part doesn't work. So I was wondering, is there a way to "tell" ubuntu, just to put all the windows in the left part, so I don't have to minimize a window it's time it opens? [06:28] I tried installing on a virtual machine, ubuntu 11.10, and no luck today... So... I'll try again tomorrow. [06:28] Network printer has a IP address and says connected to local host but cant print test page? [06:28] <_Brun0_> victicom, thanks! good to know it is a temporary issue. I'll keep using firefox for now and try it tomorrow. Thanks! [06:28] Wait wait wait... [06:29] #ubuntu-it [06:29] I did not say it was temporary... I only said it was actin up today. I don't know for sure that it will be back tomorrow. [06:29] <_Brun0_> victicom, I know but it's google.. they'll probably fix it. [06:29] That's what I'm hoping on. I use chrome for the most part. [06:29] Yeah... more than likely. [06:29] GL tomorrow @ it. [06:29] <_Brun0_> u2 [06:30] meskarune,overclucker: thanks. e2fsck fixed it :) [06:30] <_Brun0_> victicom, btw, I'm also running ubuntu 11.10 on a virtual machine. [06:30] Hi, I just recently installed Linux Mint on a virtual machine on my comp, and I am coding PHP on it in eclipse and I would like to test out my code locally. Can anyone help me set that up? [06:30] Now...that there might be an issue. [06:31] !mint|stytown [06:31] stytown: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [06:31] meskarune, he or she what eva is a dummy cause I used about 20 times hehe and there is no config file just amake file hehe [06:31] Erm... just save it on a USB, and run on your main? [06:31] subb1: that's good. i was worried you might have a damaged disk :) [06:31] Ok, thank you. [06:31] stytown: have fun/be safe [06:31] brb [06:32] hiexpo: lol. I see [06:32] <_Brun0_> victicom, no not on USB. it's a vritual disk (virtual box) on my main HD. [06:32] Oh, I meant for stytown [06:32] <_Brun0_> victicom, ok sorry [06:32] I know its rare to run a VB on USB stick [06:32] lol. [06:33] maybe stytown is running mint in a vm in ubuntu? [06:33] Well... back to our Ubuntu issue? [06:33] and they want to use their php stuff in their local install [06:33] YEs, even if thats the case, mesk... it still is a linux mint related question. [06:33] overclucker: yea. phew.. thanks once again [06:33] :-/ [06:34] Thats what I thought, though... so... anyways, I joined the linuxmint channel, too. [06:35] _Brun0_, do you think it may have to do with the virtual box that U11.10 is not allowing Chrome download site? I dont know... some weird issue? [06:36] <_Brun0_> victicom, no because the lik: https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb also gives the same 404 error on my Win7 machine. [06:36] Nope... then its not a VB thing. [06:36] _Brun0_: have you tried using apt to install chromium/chrom [06:37] *I clicked on link* [06:37] nathan28: I don't think it's in the repos [06:37] what is command/config file to configure the static ipaddress [06:37] _Brun0_ maybe there is a mirror link of the file? [06:37] Cups error during printing [06:37] Anybody know how to change desktop icons? Ubuntu 10.04 [06:38] <_Brun0_> nathan28, also got similar fiel not found error. Followed this method: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/12/install-google-chrome-using-apt-get-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ [06:38] i am not able to find ifcfg [06:38] Spanky... [06:38] <_Brun0_> meskarune, probably. but who garantees it is up-to-date and secure? [06:38] I think /usr/share/applications, modify .desktop files and use path for desired image. [06:38] _Brun0_: i refuse to believe that there isn't a PPA/repo in ubuntu w/ chrom{e,ium} [06:39] _Brun0_ you check the sha ? [06:40] spanky: System>Preferences>Appearance>Theme>Customize>Icons [06:40] nathan28: there isnt? [06:40] Using Zentyal 2.2.5 which is on top of 10.04 with LXDE desktop environment... [06:41] Screwed up and deleted the Zentyal Admin icon on the desktop.... [06:41] <_Brun0_> nathan28, I don't want chromium as I need google's chrome for now. [06:41] <_Brun0_> meskarune, nice idea. [06:43] So how do I replace icon on Desktop that disappeared... Text is still there.... Icon isn't... [06:43] I assume I want cron jobs on my server to be added to the root users crontab? [06:44] macmartine: depends, if the job needs to be run as root then yes [06:45] Kimmen: It's to crawl through a database and send email reminders where appropriate. So, I guess it doesn't need to be root? Am I better off just doing it under a restricted user then? [06:46] Kimmen: Er, I guess really it's just to run a rake task [06:46] Why do I get the message "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" when using an Ubuntu live CD [06:46] !$#!@#$ permissions really piss me off sometime... [06:46] Spanky: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:46] Fixed it... === Gskellig|sick is now known as Gskellig [06:46] http://imgur.com/ZCThb [06:47] why cant i see the icons? [06:47] Had to open up Nautilus (which didn't come with Zentyal) in root mode... [06:47] PITA [06:47] macmartine: it's better to run with just enough priviliges yes [06:47] HeyHeyHey: cdrom or usb? [06:47] CDRom [06:47] Spanky: don't open nautilus as root [06:47] No... I am SuperUser all the time every time.... I make no mistakes... :=))) [06:47] HeyHeyHey: you md5sum checked it? [06:47] I only have USB 1.0, I don't think it will work on that [06:48] Yes the live cd works on my other PC [06:48] Nautilus as root kicks ass..... Booooyyyy...! [06:48] HeyHeyHey: how did you boot the ubuntu computer? [06:48] using gui file managers as root makes baby jesus cry [06:48] <_Brun0_> seems other people are also getting problems to install google chrome on ubuntu: http://www.google.es/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=68c2a5693feb2f62&hl=en [06:48] What do you mean? It is a live CD [06:49] Yep @ Problems w/ Chrome. [06:49] I'd give it a day for it to be fixed. [06:49] _Brun0_: it's part of google's new privacy policy [06:49] Baby J be crying all the way to the bank..... [06:49] HeyHeyHey: then why are you discussing USB ? [06:49] right after he deletes /usr accidentally [06:49] USB won't work because its only USB 1.0 [06:49] <_Brun0_> nathan28, what do you mean? [06:49] _Brun0_: j/k [06:49] if someone was to install using wubi where would the linux OS be installed into [06:50] HeyHeyHey: let's not discuss usb, OK? Now, DID you md5sum check the iso you downloaded [06:50] Spanky: you run everything as root? [06:50] <_Brun0_> nathan28, ahhhhhhh =P [06:50] No i did not, but it boots up fine on 1 of my PCs but not this one [06:50] which version of gnome do am i using ?? [06:50] prashant_123456: i don't know but apt does [06:51] Kimmen: So, you probably need to know more about the setup, but might it make sense to make a user just for the cron tasks? [06:51] nathan28, any command to know that [06:51] prashant_123456: i don't know apt, $man apt and read the section on querying [06:51] or just fire up synpatic pkg manager [06:51] HeyHeyHey: a 30 second check to ensure the quality of the download isn't so much trouble really. also, you should check sum the burned CDROM to ensure that it's good. If both of those pass, if you correctly booted from the CDROM as you claim then possibly your CDROM drive is faulty. [06:51] and search for gnome do [06:52] <_Brun0_> I remember the day I ran everything as root. It was when trying to install and configure my first linux distro ever. Let me tell you, that day I destroyed and reinstalled poor debian 14 times in a row! Then I learned that with great power comes great responsibility. [06:52] How do I do the md5 check? [06:52] !md5sum>heyheyhey [06:52] heyheyhey, please see my private message [06:53] macmartine: for a specific task you could create a new user or run it as an existing user, it's all up to you. I just think that root should be used only when necessary === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding [06:54] root is a tool to use for admining the system [06:54] its not good or bad to use it [06:55] no, it's goor or bad depending on how you use it [06:55] good* [06:55] :^ [06:55] ok I found the root.disk file from wubi. Now is there a way to mount the virtual disk so I can backup the files to another partition ? [06:57] I'd just use ubuntu one or drop box, wuala, etc [06:57] Hey, I want to install GRUB so that it boots ONLY a windows 7 partition [06:57] is this possible? [06:57] Or does grub require linux / ext4? [06:57] grub works with any OS pretty much [06:58] so I should be able to mount my ntfs partition and grub-install directly to it? [06:58] but I don't understand why you would want to have grub with a windows install and nothing else [06:58] ping pangolin [06:58] since grub chainloads the windows loader [06:58] I like purple. [06:59] Purple everywhere. [06:59] So is it a matter of just grub-install and grub-update ? [06:59] hiexpo: ?

[07:02] just [07:03] well i guess damo22 had to leave [07:03] lol [07:03] I mean, they could use grub with just windows, but it would be redundant [07:04] meskarune, hiow?

I've seen no fixes. Perhaps a replacement is in order??

It would be a great thing if i didnt have to use VNC but could use the RDP which is in win7 by default [07:23] vinagre supports RDP [07:23] Krised: try teamviewer works best in both [07:23] or as a pluggin [07:23] * hiexpo going back to aircrack and pentoo and probally backtrack also see whats up there [07:24] is it possible to tell banshee to scan the media library for missing files?

[07:25] zzecool we got a licence for teamviewer but since im all over this place it would be awsome to be able to sit down in front of any windows 7 computer and connect to my ubuntu computers..so the RDP is really prefereable. its ok if i need to install somthing on the linux but id rather not have to download and install 120 windows 7 computers. [07:25] hiexpo [07:25] It says I was added to group cdrom [07:25] well damo22 couldnt help [07:26] what DE is everyone using these days?

Perfectly fine to run ubuntu without going too close to unity or gnome3 [07:36] Krised: yeah, i don't care to go through the hoops though, if other DEs are readily available and they do the job just as well [07:36] zzecool yeah at least you can pick apart what you dont like.. thats the beauty of it [07:36] so out of the blue my system stopped mounting any other media.. or my other partition.. i get a message about syslinux being needed to open ext2 formatted drives.. but im using ext4 and have syslinux installed.. [07:36] diuneigh: you may have to disable swap first and unmount it first [07:36] what the heck could have happened?? [07:36] Krised: ys you can there is allrdy a big improvement on alpha 2 and classic gnome session to look almost like the old gnome 2 [07:37] Krised: but for me unity is fast for my work [07:37] prediction: many many people will use that and then the gnome team will make it harder "for the usability" :D [07:37] terminhell: how can I do that? Actually the swap isn't on.. but is is /dev/sdb5 and gparted will not work. it tells me to umount it. I do not know how to do that in terminal. Can you help? [07:37] tapas i had gnome fallback installed. had all other options removed.. had lightDM not show other users so every user enters his username.. force a classic mode. have buttons in right side as they are supposed to.. it was alot of work but finally i got a working version [07:37] Krised: i only type "the windows key " and some letter and BOOMM my app is running [07:37] warhell, good luck :) [07:38] zecool i find it like a toy you get from a cereal box.. it looks fancy but isnt usable for anything [07:38] diuneigh: have you ran gparted as root?? [07:38] diuneigh: sudo fdisk and more importantly man fdisk [07:38] zzecool any idea when 12.04 is released ? [07:38] tristan: no. how to run gparted as root? [07:38] Krised: you didnt get any time with it im sure because i had the same feelings with you. Try this use it for 2 weeks and tell me again [07:38] probally on 12 / 04 [07:39] i have to work on OS X at work at the moment.. it's even worse than gnome3 though ;D [07:39] terminell: do you know the commands?

[07:39] Anybody know how to change an icon for a program you drag to the Ubuntu desktop in 10.04? [07:40] because one i dont know c [07:40] diuneigh: open a terminal, type man fdisk run anything with sudo but its going to be something like sudo fdisk -s /dev/sda5 or something like that [07:40] all i know about working with unity is to install synaptic and get rid of unity [07:40] and 2, we already edited the make files 3 times already [07:40] compile fails [07:40] HEYHEYHEY: well, it looks like linux is having trouble communicating with your drive, and giving up on it. what model is your drive? [07:40] Krised: the gnome shell is just as bad [07:40] Krised: you dont click on any button ... [07:40] i really need some pointers tho.. my system says unable to mount filesystem.. not authorized... why could this be.. [07:40] Using simple LXDE...

[07:41] when i try to load another partition my system blocks it.. how do i get my partitions and usb drives to mount again?? [07:41] Krised: I forgive you because you dont have any experience with unity cause you didnt spend any time to config it in you way . Im using s keyboard shortcuts for almost everything so no mouse for me [07:41] I got a dead boot on my LVM on my server due to loose SATA cable... Check your connections... [07:42] nothing [07:42] Krised: then kde fits your users better imo [07:42] i just sell this adapter [07:42] Krised: kde is more windows like [07:42] its allready pissed me off compared to my old alfa [07:42] which just works [07:42] nobody knows how to help i take it?? [07:43] Any more specifics Tristan? [07:43] zzecool yeah i thought about kde since i used to it before but except the fact that my programs menu doesnt have any icon (it just have the word "Programs" ) its alot like windows [07:43] tristan3199us: i believe that dbus must be enabled during boot now === Guest97996 is now known as vega- [07:43] terinhell: any idea how to revert it to how it was a few hours ago??

As you piece it together mostly from scratch and hand modify a lot of config files [07:55] remove flash downloader, then go to adobe website/downloads/ and download the flashplayer for linux x86 or i586/x64. then extract that archive you download and it'll have the libflashplayer.so file you need. [07:55] terminhell: was lookin to try something new.. dont mind learning.. is it complicated to get running?? [07:56] Is there a terminal based way to burn an image to a dvd? Could i just loop mount an iso to a temp. directory and then cp -r all the files to /dev/cdrom ? [07:56] or /dev/sr0 whatever the drive is mounted as? [07:56] why bother if it has exactly same software but inferior packagers team? [07:58] HEYHEYHEY, are you using gparted? [07:58] if not, try it. [07:58] been foolin around with ubuntu for a couple years.. and have learned alot.. but im still constanly learning. [07:58] the ubuntu alternate cd that i downloades from the site is bootable? [07:58] these mobos are really making me upset, since they're perfect workstations for two nodes I could be using, especially since they're nforce boards with CUDA capable onboard chips [07:58] hi all, is there something i need to install or do in order to get ubuntu to reconize audio cd's? i have rhythmbox and banshee and they both don't show the audio cd when i insert the cd [07:59] pyrit cluster hopes :( haaaaa. [07:59] ok thanks mcurran..u're awesome.. [07:59] did it work [07:59] Let me know if you need specifics alex [07:59] ghostwolf: are you able to open the cd in nautilus ?? [08:00] tristan3199us, no im not its not reconizing it at all [08:00] ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386 works like a live cd? [08:00] tristan3199us: Yes. There is no GUI installer, or gui at all, at first that is. You get a terminal, and a few other tools. Then you add what you want afterwards [08:01] terminhell: would i need to add my own repos as well?? would preferr not to have ubuntu since im using a notebook right now and would rather not be dealing with problems on things i never use.. [08:02] how to reset gnome panel to default [08:02] using ubuntu 11.10 [08:02] tristan3199us: I wouldnt recommend it to anyone with less than a year or two of linux usage. Repo's are already in place for the most part, you just enable the ones for your region you want. [08:02] ghostwolf: is it an internal cd drive or usb? [08:03] tristan3199us, an internal cd drive [08:03] i don't know if i ever used or try using an audio cd while using ubuntu, i always have music on my computer [08:04] prashant_123456 I'll tell u in a sec. I gotta find it [08:04] tristan3199us: if your serious about being serious with linux, give this a thorough readover: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide [08:05] ghostwolf: http://www.google.com/url?q=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount&sa=U&ei=KWc7T5GQFYTm2gX5l-DKCg&ved=0CAwQFjAE&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNF3491DSPDWIupVS2pbcsRki0JqHg [08:06] prashant_123456 I'm pretty sure you delete ~/.gnome2/panel2.d the pane2.d directory, but I'm not possitive, and that's for gnome2 [08:07] tristan3199us, not to be rude but i don't think thats going to help, if its a problem of not reading a plain audio cd it has to be something not needed mounted, ubuntu can reconize other discs just fine.. [08:07] but anyways since that wasn't really want i wanted to know i just do an old fashion way and go into windows and put the music onto my comp.. [08:08] why does 'canorus' package require lilypond-doc? shouldn't the -doc package be only suggested? [08:09] because ubuntu likes to pull in things that really aren't required [08:09] mcurran, using ubuntu 11.10 [08:09] i mean, just try removing gdm or evolution....it tries to take all of gnome with it...or used too [08:10] ghostwolf: no offense taken.. [08:10] terminhell, hmm, it seems that apt-get thinks 'recommends' means 'depends' [08:10] heh [08:12] terminhell, that's because gnome is compiled in the way its developers expect [08:13] they cannot afford playing hackers and compile gnome without important dependencies providing the functionality user wants [08:14] Lint: its an ubuntu issue. other distro's will allow you to remove components from gnome that wont end up removing the whole gnome install. [08:14] terminhell, ubuntu also allows you to do that [08:15] perhaps, but not as finely tuned as it could be [08:15] terminhell, the only package that will get removed when you uninstall gdm is the gnome metapacjage [08:15] who can tell me how to change gnome file manager icon colours (apperance) ? [08:16] terminhell, they will not, as gnome components will not load if libraries they are linked with are missing [08:16] Hey guys, anybody knows where to get Linux System Engineers? I already advertised on xing, linkedin without success. The market seems be completely sucked dry. Anybody knows of forums that have subforums for jobs? I can not find any. [08:16] Lint, most gnome components do not depend on each other [08:17] and thats the problem. for some reason evolution is tied in so much with ubuntu's version of gnome (or at least used to be) that it wants to take most of it with it [08:17] how can i send privat msg to users in irc under client "weechat" [08:17] ? [08:17] terminhell, what do you mean "most of it" ? [08:17] gnome [08:18] anybody else uses "weechat"?? [08:18] terminhell, what does it want to remove when you try to uninstall evolution ? which packages [08:18] how to change from default unity to gnome in ltsp client? [08:18] gnome-desktop [08:18] terminhell, that's a metapackage [08:18] terminhell, removing it doesn't actually remove anything [08:19] hmm, a bit misleading i suppose [08:19] terminhell, it's just there to help installing a default gnome desktop [08:19] still odd that it would even display that though [08:19] terminhell, it depends on all gnome packages but contains no data [08:19] it just doesnt seem as modular as it could be [08:19] terminhell, no, it's normal. Evolution is one of gnome's default applications so gnome-desktop depend on it [08:20] terminhell, it is very modular. As soon as you'll remove the gnome-desktop package, you'll be able to remove any part of gnome you want [08:21] i guess my issue is the need to remove a meta package in the first place, or its need of one at all [08:21] terminhell, the need for one is that it makes things much more simpler when a user wants to install gnome [08:22] terminhell, he only has 1 package to install [08:23] i guess i just have a different philosophy to package management [08:23] hi [08:23] hello Mephisto [08:23] can anyone tell me how can i get Chromium 10 from here: http://mirror.fiber.net/ubuntu-lucid/pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/ ? [08:23] i need 10th version for some things... [08:23] but i dunno how to install it [08:24] Mephisto: is it a repo? [08:24] not really.. it's a mirror.. [08:24] you may have to compile it [08:24] but it probably can be used as a repo.. i'm not sure [08:24] what for?.. [08:24] im getting an error also saying extlinux not found.. this is required for ext2-formatted usb drive install mode. install the "syslinux" package or your distribution's equivalent.. [08:25] however i do have syslinux packages installed and im not using ext2 [08:25] Mephisto: download the version you need and for your appropriate architecture (32 or 64bit) then double click and install it after its downloaded [08:25] terminhell, erm.. are you sure it's possible?.. [08:26] or in terminal, dpkg -i /package/name [08:26] ok [08:26] thanks [08:27] Anybody knows Linux forums that have subforums for jobs? I am desperately looking for Linux System Engineers in Switzerland. I can not find any on linkedin or xing. The market is sucked dry.

It's been a while since I had to ue them [08:32] Linux50001: There is a swiss ubuntu loco with an irc channel on freenode #ubuntu-ch you could ask there or in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux as well, probably a a few good channels that might have somebody that can suggest somewhere === sandeep is now known as Guest78455 [08:32] yabden, I am a professional recruiter.

[08:42] NotproN: The standard desktop iso just needs burning to a cd or a usb stick and then booting up with the disc/usb inserted, there should be a "Try Ubuntu" option when it starts up [08:42] heh.. that's the problem [08:43] alternate is just for installation [08:43] damo22: yeah alternate one [08:43] ohhh [08:43] i see [08:43] ty so [08:43] yup just get the regular one [08:43] NotproN, you cant use the alternate one as a livecd [08:43] yeah I figured that out the hard way too [08:43] if you want to save a cd you can use a usb stick [08:43] whats the diff between 2? === Gskellig is now known as Gskellig|away [08:44] !alternate | NotproN [08:44] NotproN: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[08:46] ty guys [08:46] hi guys. I just installed netbeans by downloading from their official website then installing via the terminal. problem is when i type netbeans in the command line to run it, it tells me its not yet installed [08:46] i apreciate the info [08:46] I'm not sure if either will work for my gpu but I noticed there is 2 of them.. wanting to know the differences [08:46] i installed netbeans version 7.1 [08:47] seems my user has lost permission to do pretty much anything. and my xinitrc is missing.. [08:47] in the software center the one available is 6.9 [08:47] where can i obtain a new xinitrc?? [08:47] does anyone know how I can make linux aware of this newly installed netbeans?? [08:47] brb [08:47] it does appear in my launch menu [08:48] but from the command line, nothing happens...it's mistaken [08:48] maybe it isn't in your path [08:48] thanks, Yabden which path would this be [08:48] do: whereis netbeans [08:48] . [08:49] ty [08:49] it will probably tell you the directory [08:49] this is the output -> netbeans: /etc/netbeans.import /etc/netbeans.conf /etc/netbeans.clusters /usr/local/bin/netbeans /usr/share/netbeans [08:50] you should be able to run it by doing /usr/local/bin/netbeans then [08:51] I tried that -> bash: /usr/local/bin/netbeans: No such file or directory [08:52] sudo gedit [08:53] gksudo gedit === iqpi|off is now known as iqpi [08:54] well i managed to get xinitrc edited.. added [08:54] exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch gnome-session but its in ect/x [08:54] x11/ === dirtydevil_ is now known as dirtydevil === Rondom_ is now known as Rondom [09:09] cannot reset gnome panels using ubuntu 11.10 classic gnome [09:11] spyro [09:12] gateway to glimmer [09:15] goodmorning [09:18] can Skype use ALSA ? === svensk_a1 is now known as Dubaco [09:20] alsa can emulate oss so if skype supports oss then alsa will work with it [09:20] hi [09:20] does a netbook remix 11.04 exist?

[09:48] I've got a big problem this morning. I decided to try out one of these USB 2 VGA adapters [09:48] So I plugged it in and booted, then gnome only loaded on the monitor plugged into the adapter [09:49] I shutdown and unplugged it then booted again. Now I'm only getting to stage 3 booting (command line only) [09:49] I tried 'start gdm' [09:49] startx [09:49] you can't start gdm without X [09:50] best feature: connected to wifi from live cd, and after i booted into the system, it remember the network and the key [09:50] thanks I'll try it. One thing I did note from the syslog. It was still trying to load the USBDID something or other [09:50] Basically the driver for the usb adapter [09:51] everything worked out of the box, even the digitizer [09:51] playing with gnome-shell now [09:51] So it seems that it is now configured the default monitor for the adapter. Know where this configuration is stored? [09:51] I'm on 10.04 lts [09:52] xorg.conf? [09:52] There isn't a xorg.conf on 10.04 [09:52] xinitrc? [09:56] Any idea where xinittrc is?

Otherwise it's hard to tell [10:20] MacroMan: do you have the usb adapter removed?

I'm using the adapter so I can get on here [10:21] i tried anything I knew (from dpkg --configure -a) to erase cache etc [10:21] That's why I had to log out from this channel === mjfork_ is now known as mjfork [10:22] hm azbarcea_. Looks bad. Maybe do smth like "apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic" helps? [10:22] MacroMan: so this adapter allows you to plug a vga monitor into a usb port? [10:22] Muelli: the problem got worse when I removed manually the files from /boot with 3.0.0.0-16 [10:23] uh azbarcea_ [10:23] Muelly - i tried yesterday that, lets see what happens now [10:23] MacroMan: what video-outs does your board have? [10:23] I'm using nvidea card. It has VGA and DVI-I [10:23] One monitor in each socket [10:24] MacroMan: so your problem is gdm won't start? [10:24] hmm, from the log it looks like it's loading the sisusb driver (FOr the usb adapter): http://paste.ubuntu.com/842843/ [10:25] Yes, gdm won't load wihtout using this usb adapter [10:25] It was fine up unitil I plugged that dammed thing in [10:25] Mousebug: I had to reload the psmouse module "modprobe .r psmouse" ... now it's working .. for how long?! [10:25] Muelli: I tried anything from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure [10:25] Wow powertop shows "37.0% (506.7) [Rescheduling interrupts] " ... :( [10:26] azbarcea_: What's the outoput of apt-get install --reinstall? [10:26] MacroMan: show me output of 'lsmod | grep usb' [10:26] Muelli: http://pastebin.com/zBhPUi5S [10:26] MacroMan: with the adapter removed [10:26] OK I need to reboot for that. GIve me a minute [10:27] MacroMan: if you reboot with the adapter removed will gdm start? [10:27] azbarcea_: sick :-\ So what kernels do you have installed? Check with smth like apt-cache policy linux-kernel. Then, *I*'d apt-get remove the -15 kernel but mind you that it might leave you with an unbootable system. [10:28] Muelli: the kernel I'm using right now is -15 [10:28] Muelli: the dist-upgrade tried to install -16 [10:29] azbarcea_: yeah, I guess so. I'd remove it and install the -16 right away. [10:29] Muelli: yesterday I tried to compile -17, but after compile, the install failed with the same error [10:30] MacroMan: welcome back [10:30] MacroMan: so you have the adapter in now? [10:31] Muelli: I try to force install the -16 without loosing the -15 [10:31] !bots [10:31] Hi!

If you had other kernels installed, then removing the current one isn't a big deal. [10:32] It's the only way I get gdm to load [10:32] Hi. [10:32] I'd like to know how can I install IE on ubuntu. [10:32] I have to perform some checks for my websites.

[10:33] azbarcea_: but that;s why I asked for the other kernels. If you had other kernels installed, then removing the current one isn't a big deal. [10:33] MacroMan: are you using xchat right now? [10:33] Muelli: I don't think -16 is a working one [10:33] No I'm using the web browser [10:34] webchat.freenode.net [10:34] Muelli: Ok .. let's remove the 15 then [10:34] Yes the shell shows without the adapter [10:34] This is what 'lsmod ...' is hsowing now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/842858/ === root is now known as Guest39905 [10:35] MacroMan: ok i see.... [10:35] MacroMan: ok do this [10:35] MacroMan: unplug this adapter and boot on your other monitor [10:35] ok [10:35] MacroMan: when u get to the shell you will need to run these commands [10:36] Muelli: this is what I have now: http://pastebin.com/pBPHfZVv [10:36] MacroMan: sudo apt-get install irssi [10:36] k [10:36] MacroMan: once that command is done, run 'irssi' [10:36] MacroMan: then irssi will start [10:36] question: How do i resolve hostnames on LAN? i only get the ip adr on all the hosts.. [10:37] I take it irssi is an irc client [10:37] MacroMan: yes [10:37] how do i convert .flv or .mp4 or .avi to .mp3? [10:37] so azbarcea_, I think you can apt-get purge the -15 one, because you still have the -12 installed :) Actually, apt-get purge both, the -15 and the -16. Oh, and the -17, too. [10:37] MacroMan: once irssi is started you run '/server irc.ubuntu.com' [10:37] MacroMan: then '/nick MacroMan' then 'join #ubuntu' [10:37] Ok got it [10:38] so do that and we go from there [10:38] I'll be back on in a min [10:38] thanks [10:40] Hi [10:40] ok [10:40] your not using the adapter now right? [10:40] No, it's unplugged [10:40] ok show me 'lsmod | grep usb' [10:41] Hi! [10:41] oh wait, lol will be hard your at the shell [10:41] Can I drop out of irssi keep the session open? [10:41] Muelli: now what: http://pastebin.com/1HUZkWmR [10:41] MacroMan: if you hold ALT and press the right arrow key you will go to another terminal [10:41] Ok cool [10:41] MacroMan: if you hold ALT and press the left arrow key u will come back [10:41] my flv files are accidentally deleted, how can I recover them? [10:42] I tried foremost and scalpel, but they dont support flv [10:42] can someone help me make my souncard work with prgm mixxx ?

I can't seem to find the option that when checked disables mouse while typing. It might be the one that's causing me these problems. Anyone? [10:54] Oh I see, gdm is the login manager [10:54] MacroMan: Yesh. [10:55] Ok well I've actually done apt-get install gdm which has finished [10:55] MacroMan: sudo gdm [10:55] azbarcea_: and "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic"?

I'll give it a go and see if it works. [10:57] theadmin: u don't need the ctrl outside of DE ? [10:57] Muelli: paste to long ... just the last lines: http://pastebin.com/MRRGXAFe [10:57] Ok, it's trying to start Virtualbox kernal modules [10:57] MacroMan: inside the DE u need to use the ctrl with alt [10:57] the DE? [10:57] MacroMan: may want to get updates in CLI too, may help [10:57] so azbarcea_, can it be that "gzip" is missing? [10:57] chaospsychex: Oh, really? Hm. Wasn't aware of that, I always just Ctrl-Alt-F{ttynumber} [10:58] MacroMan: ok so you logged in and gnome is starting? [10:58] hi [10:58] MacroMan: DE is Desktop Environment [10:58] azbarcea_: or cpio. [10:58] y a t il des français ?

[10:59] ActionParsnip: if Oneric is 11.10, yes [10:59] azbarcea_: hm. interesting. What do "type -a gzip" or "type -a cpio" say? [10:59] Muelli: http://pastebin.com/0jFshngU [10:59] MacroMan: do you see the login screen on F7? [10:59] yuler: maverick is EOL in April, so I wouldn't waste much time in Maverick and get upgraded [10:59] yuler: yes oneiric is 11.10 [10:59] No I see a screen telling me the last thing I put [11:00] ActionParsnip: if I didn't want to waste time, I would not have asked [11:00] Muelli: http://pastebin.com/rAKKJ5Fh [11:00] But it still looks like command line [11:00] MacroMan: hold ALT and press the right arrow key [11:00] yuler: when maverick is EOL you will get no updates and no support here.... [11:00] azbarcea_: hm. k. Then what is actually line 355 of /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs? [11:00] is 8? [11:00] ActionParsnip: until them, my question stands [11:00] Muelli: lets see [11:00] Yes, I get to another command promtp [11:01] MacroMan: tty8? [11:01] yuler: fair enough, thats fine :) [11:01] I've cycled through all 7 and nothing [11:01] MacroMan: ok go to tty2 [11:01] There isn't a tty8 [11:01] ok [11:01] sudo ps aux | grep gdm [11:02] what does it show [11:02] The answer was to reset to analogue and then change back to digital - fixed the problem [11:02] Muelli: http://pastebin.com/fERv7Qs3 [11:03] Ok I get this: "david 3314 0.0 0.0 3328 812 tty2 S+ 11:02 0:00 grep --color=auto gdm" [11:03] MacroMan: ok is this VM? [11:03] chaospsychex: i suggest to add: | grep -v grep so grep itself doesn't show [11:03] MacroMan: sudo pkill x [11:03] VM as in virtual machine? [11:03] No it's not [11:04] chaospsychex: "pgrep gdm" [11:04] Ok I did sudo pkill x [11:04] Hey guys, could someone tell me how to connect "My Documents" from Windows to Linux and changes made in Linux happens on Windows aswell, would be appericated if someoen could help me step by step :) [11:04] eh azbarcea_. More context would be good, i.e. to see were ec2 comes from :-\ Maybe use wgetpaste or smth like that to conveniently post the thing. [11:04] Simon1245, you could create a separate partition for your stuff [11:04] "pgrep gdm" doesn't do anything [11:04] MacroMan: reboot [11:04] Simon1245: is it an internel partition [11:04] OK, be back in a min [11:04] MacroMan: so no gdm running [11:05] k [11:05] Simon1245, using an NTFS or FAT32 partition that both OS can see [11:05] damo22, How would that work? [11:05] damo22, No idea, ActionParsnip what does that mean lol === MrPen is now known as penreturns [11:06] Simon1245, basically its a segment of your hard disk dedicated to your important files, and both OS can Read and Write to it [11:07] OK, it booted back to command line === david is now known as Guest45827 [11:07] ah damn [11:07] Simon1245, is that what youre after? [11:07] I didn't login to MacroMan quick enough [11:07] damo22, How can I check wether it's NTFS or FAT32? [11:08] damo22, Yes so basically if I'm working on linux and saves something that it appears on Windows when I switch to Windows partition [11:08] Simon1245, it doesnt exist on your machine yet, im saying its one way you can set things up [11:09] Ok I'm back [11:09] It's MacroMan [11:09] damo22, I want something that could save changes I made in one OS to another so I don't have to switch it manually, it's hard to explain lol [11:09] david__: so what happened [11:09] Simon1245, this is why i recommend splitting your important data into a separate partition [11:09] Just booted back to command line [11:09] Simon1245: is it on a disk INSIDE the system? [11:10] But did do a disk check when it started [11:10] Hi, just wondering if anyone here has installed Ubuntu on a Mac and could answer a couple of questions? [11:10] ActionParsnip, Yeah it's on the harddrive in the computer, not using any external one if that's what you mean [11:10] Simon1245: Ubuntu can access your NTFS partitions easily, just have it mount at boot then make a symlink for easy access [11:10] Shall I try removing gdm and putting on kdm instead? [11:11] kaiowas: Easiest way to find out is to ask your questions. If anyone can answer them, they probably will :) [11:11] Simon1245: yes, its on a drive inside your system, so its an internal partitions [11:11] david__: do you run the purge command before you reinstalled gdm ? [11:11] Jordan_U: Right :) [11:11] Simon1245, can you paste the output of sudo fdisk -l [11:11] No, was I supposed to? [11:11] Simon1245, to a pastebin [11:11] damo22, sure [11:11] So apt-get remove gdm [11:11] apt-get purge gdm [11:11] ActionParsnip, I see :) your way seems easier how can I do it? [11:11] apt-get remove --purge gdm [11:11] Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551332/ [11:11] then apt-get install gdm [11:11] yes [11:11] prefixed with sudo ofcourse [11:11] Muelli: great tool that wgetpaste ... thx ... [11:11] Ok, let me do that quickly [11:11] ok [11:11] How much space will Ubuntu take installed? I thought 20gb should be enough for a Ubuntu partition, so i can play around some with it. [11:12] :q [11:12] ubuntu will take 19.5gb [11:12] j/k [11:12] chaospsychex, O_o [11:12] hmm, my tty2 is stuck starting apache. [11:12] Simon1245: you will need to add an entry for it in /etc/fstab so that it mounts at boot [11:12] kaiowas: depends on how you'll partition and plan your system [11:12] they are good at compressing those files then ;) [11:12] damo22, http://pastebin.com/1Eb5si8d [11:12] david__: why is it trying to start apache? [11:12] chaospsychex: if you don't have constructive and actually helpful things to say, then don't. [11:12] kaiowas: A default install of Ubuntu takes a little less than 3 GiB last I checked. How much space you need beyond that depens on what files you store and what applications you install. [11:12] kaiowas: my full gnome desktop is about 4Gb in size with all the codecs and so forth [11:13] Myrtti: First time install.. so this will be just a partition so i can learn Ubuntu. [11:13] ActionParsnip, could you show me how to do it like step by step as I'm a beginner to this. [11:13] I have apache running on my machine by default [11:13] !ntfs | Simon1245 [11:13] Simon1245: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [11:13] I'll worry about that later [11:13] Simon1245: there are plenty of guides around [11:13] ActionParsnip, Thanks :) Checking it now :) [11:13] Simon1245, you have too many swap partitions! [11:14] Don't I need to re-install ubuntu-desktop since it was removed when I first did apt-get remove gdm? [11:14] hm azbarcea_. It tries to do a "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5". Can you do that? [11:14] So, to partition my drive i should go to the Bootcamp program and do the same way as i install windows.. then install refit? [11:14] david__: yes, was that re-installed when gdm was re-installed? [11:14] david__: it should of installed it when gdm was installed, depends [11:14] No, when I removed gdm again, it didn't show it for removal [11:15] sudo apt-get install gdm [11:15] dont hit anything [11:15] how do I check if I have it [11:15] kaiowas: No. Boot Camp will create a "hybrid" mbr, which is only needed because Windows can't boot from GPT on BIOS systems. If you're not using Windows, you don't want a hybrid mbr. [11:15] damo22, What does that mean lol [11:15] david__: have what? [11:15] ubuntu-desktop? [11:15] Jordan: Ok, so just go to diskutilities and make one more partition of the free space i have? [11:15] Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551333/ [11:16] Actually the apt-get install for gdm sisn't install it [11:16] Can I do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [11:16] Simon1245, it appears that you have a hidden windows partition, plus 2 NTFS partitions plus a linux one and 3 swap partitions [11:16] david__: ok so 'sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop' first [11:16] hm azbarcea_. Looks good. Can you do a "echo $?" immediately after the find? [11:16] Muelli: no headers [11:17] ActionParsnip: That hasn't helped sir. [11:17] kaiowas: Follow the directions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download , and also install rEFIt just for ease (it's not needed, but it's convenient) [11:17] Ok, now install? [11:17] Muelli: shouldn't be some headers there? [11:17] david__: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [11:17] Ok Downloading [11:17] david__: then 'sudo apt-get install gdm' [11:17] it's 10mb [11:17] damo22, the hidden one is Windows recovery one, the 2 NTFS is one C: and one :D for like backup files, linux one is kinda obvious and got no idea what the 3 swap one means lol [11:17] I already have gdm though [11:18] Halexander9000: thats all I know dude, sorry. Not something I use [11:18] Muelli: output is: 0 [11:18] Simon1245, do you want 4Gb of extra space as a E:? [11:18] no azbarcea_, why? It's the initramdisk, the thing that gets loaded even before your OS is loaded. [11:18] david__: did you purge before you 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desltop' ? [11:18] how about upgrading linux kernel from kernel.org from trabal, is who tried it [11:18] Yes [11:18] E: linux one? [11:18] Jordan_U: Thank you. If i don't install rEFIt i can just hold the ALT key and choose the Ubuntu partition? [11:18] It's also instsalling linux-headers-generic [11:18] Muelli: $ echo $? [11:18] 0 [11:18] ActionParsnip: By any chance, you wouldn't happen to know the LXDE chat room here? Whenever I /list the channels on this network, pidgin crashes. [11:19] Ok that's complete now [11:19] kaiowas: Yes. Though it will be incorrectly labeled "Windows" by Apple's firmware. [11:19] david__: try 'sudo service start ubuntu-desktop' [11:19] hm azbarcea_. Weird. I don't really get it then. cpio might be failing. So can you do the find /path/to/smth | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc; echo $? ? where /path/to is the path in /tmp/ [11:19] Simon1245, there is 4Gb of extra space floating around you could use as Windows E: / Linux /dev/sda6 [11:19] kaiowas: You should also use the +mac iso, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64+mac.iso [11:19] im trying to make an audio cd but k3b wont let me says .mp3 is unsupported [11:19] "unrecorgnized service" [11:19] damo22, Sure :D would be good as it's for no use anyways :) How can I do that? [11:19] Jordan_U: Oh, thanks for telling me about that one, i made a usb stick of the 64 bit.. but not Mac iso. [11:20] david__: service start gdm [11:20] can someone help me make my souncard work with prgm mixxx ? [11:20] please [11:20] Halexander9000: there are far too many rooms for pidgin to handle. just try /join #lxde [11:20] same thing [11:20] !info mixxx [11:20] mixxx (source: mixxx): Digital Disc Jockey Interface.

[11:21] Thanks terminhell! [11:21] david__: ok hold on one sec [11:21] damo22, Command not found [11:21] OK thanks [11:21] I really appreciate your help so far [11:21] damo22, Can I open private chat with you btw? [11:21] Simon1245, sudo apt-get install gparted [11:21] ok [11:21] david__: what version of ubuntu ? [11:21] 10.04 lts [11:21] hello? [11:21] Jordan_U: I dont have any cds.. I followed the instructions and I think i got it installed.. but now when i think about it, it wasnt bootable.. I guess i have to go and buy some CDs :). [11:22] Muelli: I don't know if I understand, the "$ sudo find . -name *smth*" returns nothing [11:22] kaiowas: do you have a flash drive? [11:22] Muelli: or smth is something ... [11:22] david__: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [11:22] azbarcea_: I mean "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc; echo $?" [11:22] terminhell: do you mean if i have a solidstate? No its a normal harddrive. === oobie is now known as oobiloz [11:23] kaiowas: no i mean do you a usb thumb drive. You can use those to boot [11:23] Muelli: ugly - the output is binary [11:23] The screen flickered for a few seconds [11:23] kaiowas: There are instructions for making a USB drive which is bootable by a mac at the page I linked to, but they are complicated, not recommended, and will have you booting in EFI mode which will cause problems with graphics drivers. Also, if you do end up going the USB route you would have to *not* use the +mac iso. [11:23] azbarcea_: hm. but that's good *thinking*. Make it smth like this: [11:24] unetbootin [11:24] azbarcea_: "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc> /tmp/foo.cpio; echo $?" [11:24] ehh, or not, thumb drive imagine is easier than burning a cd [11:24] just use dd [11:24] terminhell: i do, but it didnt show up when i tried booting it after i tried installing it on a usb. [11:24] So I think it failed to start again. That's what it was doing when I was trying that earlier [11:24] terminhell: For burning a cd just use wodim... easy too :D [11:24] terminhell: For an intel mac booting from USB is much more of a hastle due to firmware bugs. [11:24] david__: no, go over to tty7 [11:24] Jordan_U: okey, you convinced me of buying some cds. :). [11:24] kaiowas: change your bios options to make your usb boot first [11:25] kaiowas: :) [11:25] terminhell: it doesnt work like that on Mac [11:25] Muelli: binary too [11:25] silly mac's [11:25] It's sitting on "Starting AppArmor profiles! [11:25] " [11:25] :) [11:25] USB doesn't use moving parts so is awesome [11:25] am I correct in thinking that if I chown zofrex:www-data a directory and set chmod g+s, new files created in that directory should have owner zofrex and group www-data? [11:25] I now have a tty8, but it's comletely blank [11:25] azbarcea_: erm, onto your terminal? It should all be in the file now and everything you see on your terminal shuold be "0"... Isn't it? [11:25] Just a flashing cursor [11:25] one sec [11:26] Muelli: i mean the foo.cpio is gibberish [11:26] azbarcea_: nice. That's good. Now do smth like [11:26] azbarcea_: "find /tmp/mkinitramfs_SISkZ5 | cpio -R 0:0 -o -H newc | gzip > /tmp/foo.cpio.gz; echo $?" [11:26] azbarcea_: it should print 0 on your terminal. [11:26] chaospsychex: I need to have a break. I'll be back in 10 === david__ is now known as david__brb [11:26] david__: wait [11:27] Ok I'm waiting === david__brb is now known as david__ [11:27] Muelli: yes it is 0 and I have the .gz file [11:27] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [11:27] azbarcea_: weird then. I don't think I understand what's going on. *thinking* [11:28] Ok [11:28] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [11:28] Muelli: -rw-rw-r-- 1 alex alex 16M 2012-02-15 13:27 /tmp/foo.cpio.gz [11:28] Same thing. Just a flickereing screen [11:28] tty7 and 8 are the same [11:28] azbarcea_: do you have anything in /etc/initramfs-tools ? If you, it might be worth moving the contents out and try again. [11:28] Muelli: you were rith ... the output was 0 [11:29] Muelli: but the command created that /tmp/foo.cpio.gz file ... [11:29] david__: what does 'sudo startx' do [11:29] Muelli: what do I do with that 16M archive? [11:29] Same as before: "no screens found" [11:29] Guys, I need to enable touchpad while typing. Can anyone help me please? Preferably using the terminal, since I'm not using the Unity desktop manager, but the LXDE one. [11:29] azbarcea_: just leave it for now. It was just a test whether your tools work correctly. [11:30] Muelli: this is what is have in /etc/initramfs-tools: conf.d hooks initramfs.conf modules scripts update-initramfs.conf [11:30] Muelli: Ok :) [11:30] Ok I thing it must be a Xorg issue [11:30] Muelli: now what? [11:31] david__: ok do 'sudo lsmod | less' and go through and see if you see sisusbvga [11:31] k azbarcea_. Let's try to following: "sudo cp -ar /etc/initramfs-tools{,.bak}" and if that was successful, delete the whole thing, i.e. "sudo rm -r /etc/initramfs-tools/". [11:31] david__: i'm thinking the driver for the adapter is being used [11:31] Halexander9000: unity isn't a desktop, its a shell. It uses Gnome as the default desktop [11:31] azbarcea_: then, let's try the mkinitramfs command again. I don't know how it was called though *searching* [11:32] Halexander9000: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics [11:32] azbarcea_: after you removed the directory, try a "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic" again. [11:33] No 'sisusbvag' [11:33] Muelli: sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic [11:33] Muelli: ok! [11:33] Am pretty new to ubuntu, can someone tell me what xfce is ? [11:33] There is "vga16fb" and "vgastate" [11:33] azbarcea_: works? [11:33] hi [11:33] ActionParsnip: I herp-derped out of ignorance. Thanks for correcting me. [11:33] sideev: xfce is a different GUI [11:33] Hello :) Even though I use --state-cache-days=365 with debmirror ; I keep getting 'State cache file does not exist; doing full mirroring' ; which in turn, takes the entire process a long long time. Why won't the cache exist if I use the state cache argument? [11:33] Muelli: the same ... E: mkinitramfs failure find 141 cpio 141 gzip 1 ... should I send all the output? [11:34] I'm just going to check the xorg.conf file to see if there is anything in there [11:34] azbarcea_: hm. yeah. [11:34] Halexander9000: np man [11:34] terminhell: can i install it on my existing ubuntu? Ubuntu is having difficulty managing power [11:34] david__: is your card an nvidia? [11:34] Yes [11:35] did u see nvidia in lsmod [11:35] I wasn't using the nvidea drivers though, just the ones that came with ubuntu [11:35] sideev: yes. You can also adjust power settings too [11:35] oh [11:35] terminhell: is xubuntu is the xfce version of ubuntu? [11:35] sideev: Correct. [11:35] sideev: yes [11:36] Nothing in the config [11:36] ok do this [11:36] have a problem mounting a vfat usbstick on my 10.4 ubuntu server. when using mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /mng/usbstick it says wrong fs type.. when I say -t usbfs I can mount it but not copy files to it ... ? [11:36] sudo service gdm stop [11:36] david__: sudo Xorg-configure [11:37] Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551357/ [11:37] freddy__: What if you don't provide any -t argument at all? [11:37] i can't find Tor with aptitude search ? [11:37] OK I think I actually know what's happened === companion is now known as Companion [11:37] david__: sudo mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:37] terminhell: theadmin Have been using ubuntu for 2 months now, 2 battery cells have dried up yet due to poor power management. It is consuming too much power. and getting heated up soon. [11:37] I'm just going to reboot, I'll be back on in a sec [11:37] wait [11:37] run these commands first [11:38] azbarcea_: hm. so the error code "141" that is returned by both, find and cpio, might come from the shell, i.e. bash. And 141 apparently is SIGPIPE. So why do the process get SIGPIPE..? Can you wgetpaste "dmesg" and "tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog" or /var/log/messages? Double check for sensitive data. [11:38] sudo Xorg-configure [11:38] There was a config file in the xorg.cond.d directory specific to that usbvga adapter [11:38] Jordan_U: 'you must specify file system type ' [11:38] freddy__: usbfs is almost certainly *not* what you want. [11:38] Jordan_U: ok - [11:38] Xorg-configure - Command not found [11:38] freddy__: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [11:38] david__: did u delete it [11:38] No I've moved it [11:38] Muelli: ohhh ... my /bin/sh doesn't poit to dash but to bash! [11:38] ok reboot [11:38] pastebin ? [11:39] terminhell: What I understand is that am running GNOME now, can I install xubuntu too? [11:39] Muelli: I had to change that because of bitbake (scripts) [11:39] azbarcea_: hm. shouldn't be a problem. But you can try to revert that.

[11:39] sideev: yes, after you install it, log out and change session to xfce [11:40] azbarcea_: well, before you get us the dmesg and syslog output or try again after the bash/dash move, do a apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools first. [11:41] Muelli: changed bash to dash [11:41] sideev: switching to xfce won't make the power management issue go away, its a regression in the kernel (fixed in 3.2.5 though) [11:41] azbarcea_: apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools [11:41] is there no Tor daemon in the repositories ? [11:42] azbarcea_: then "dmesg | wgetpaste" and "cat /var/log/messages | wgetpaste" === eskizle- is now known as xZwhite [11:42] Muelli: reinstalled initramfs-tools http://pastebin.com/RxKtcrNt [11:42] YAY!!!

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" ... more http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551376/ [12:17] magentium_: OpenJDK as suspected. [12:18] Muelli: reboot? [12:18] azbarcea_: mom [12:18] I'll check the output [12:18] hi [12:18] how do i turn on the touchpad after turning it off from the the terminal [12:19] Halexander9000 give me two minutes i will get you a link to install SunJava. Its much faster and more stable [12:19] Thanks magentium__. [12:19] azbarcea_: could you do smth like dpkg-reconfigure -p low initramfs-tools ? [12:19] meet: could unload then reload the psmouse module [12:19] i used sudo modprobe -r psmouse to turn off the touchpad [12:19] to use sun's java, you will have to use update-alternatives [12:20] download sun's java, unzip, put in /opt folder, use update-alternatives correctly [12:20] Muelli: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: initramfs-tools is broken or not fully installed [12:20] whats the opposite of sudo modprobe -r psmouse then? [12:20] hm azbarcea_. Full output? [12:20] interesting i need java for some browsing [12:21] Muelli: that's it! [12:21] Muelli: that's the full output :) [12:21] O_o [12:21] ok got it. used sudo modprobe psmouse [12:21] Muelli: we have the backup ... right? [12:21] Hey, I have an ubuntu headless server, and after like 1day it always dissconnects from the network, how can i figure out why this is happening?! [12:22] azbarcea_: yeah, so no problem :) [12:22] azbarcea_: alright. Well. reboot first. Then we'll take care of initramfs-tools [12:22] Muelli: brb ... rebooting [12:23] chilli0: Check /var/log/{syslog,daemon,debug, ...} [12:24] Muelli: Can you be any more specific. i found something in syslog a few days ago, but didn't know what to think of it, i'll pb if you could have a look. === ksinkar_ is now known as ksinkar [12:24] well chilli0. How do you know, that is disconnects in first place? I.e. what are the symptoms? [12:25] iceroot, I can see in some guides, there is an easy way to do it in the GUI. In User accounts, but does it remove the SSH password aswell? because it shouldnt. Thanks in advance. [12:25] Muelli: i'm back [12:25] Muelli: i can't ping it.. [12:25] Muelli: another dmesg: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551381/ [12:26] chilli0: hm. How do you get access to the machine then? I.e. do you have to reboot? [12:27] chilli0: do you have VPNs? [12:27] hm azbarcea_. Again: EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0 :-( [12:27] yeah reboot every time, and no not that i remember. i may have tried a while ago to set one up. [12:27] I need to host a VNC server so another guy can access my PC remotely. We are not on a local network. Can anyone please explain or give me a ref link to help get around to this? [12:27] azbarcea_: what are these for partitions? sda2 and sdb4? [12:28] Muelli: sda2 is / [12:28] ray1claw: maybe: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11075/how-can-i-enable-the-share-desktop-feature-in-empathy [12:29] Muelli: sdb4 - i don't know of it: /dev/sdb1 2046 976771071 488384513 5 Extended [12:29] /dev/sdb5 2048 976771071 488384512 83 Linux [12:29] !vnc | ray1claw [12:29] ray1claw: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [12:29] Muelli, share desktop only shows the other guy ur desktop in realtime, and does not allow them to control it. [12:30] azbarcea_: arr :-\ hm. I don't get it. It should be read only, but we wrote to /etc/ and /tmp all the time *thinking*. That's a weird message. But let's assume that it doesn't matter... Can you show us apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools again? [12:31] ubottu, i need to know how to set up a VNC server using vino or something... the GUI app sets up a local server, but when some guy puts in my global ip ‌into vinagre, it says the server is closed [12:31] ray1claw: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:31] ray1claw: hm. should be possible to set remote control up. Maybe with vino-preferences [12:31] Muelli, , i need to know how to set up a VNC server using vino or something... the GUI app sets up a local server, but when some guy puts in my global ip ‌into vinagre, it says the server is closed [12:31] Muelli: df - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551385/ [12:31] ray1claw: have you port forwarded through the router? [12:31] ray1claw: well. empathy is supposed to help you with that. [12:31] Muelli: fstab - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551386/ [12:32] ray1claw: why does the guy need remote desktop access? Maybe there is a sleeker solution.. [12:32] Muelli: yeah reboot every time, and no not that i remember. i may have tried a while ago to set one up. [12:33] Currently Running Ubuntu 11.10 with the ICS Theme, looks realllllll nice. But was wondering if there were any programs that work well with Gnome3 that anyone can recommend? [12:33] Hi I want to install intel G530(socket 1155) in my PC do I need thermal paste? [12:33] between radiator and CPU [12:33] magentium__: gedit works well... [12:34] kriestof: yes [12:34] ActionParsnip, whats the sleeker solution [12:34] I got a little script issue: What would the expected outcome of this do: if [-f /etc/skel/.profile.old] [12:34] Muelli, tried vino-prefs, it only sets up for the local network [12:34] ray1claw: set vino up and then use emphaty [12:35] krissed: you need a space like so: [ -f ..... .old ] [12:35] ray1claw: well, what will the guy do once connected to your system? [12:35] Muelli: you seem to be God here, everyone wants you :) [12:35] !vino [12:35] [ -f /etc/skel/.profile.old ] krissed [12:35] |vino [12:35] ahh thanks [12:36] ActionParsnip, i need to show the guy a site ive been designing in wordpress.. since dynamic dns doesnt work, vnc is my alternate solution [12:36] azbarcea_: Can you show us apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools again? [12:36] Muelli, hmm, okay, i'm looking through it now [12:37] damo22 and 1lutz THANKS.. I made a script which lets me pick a location of our schools and based on userinput from 1-9 it creates your bookmarks to accomodate the windows common shares [12:37] ray1claw: are you running a web server on the system? [12:37] ActionParsnip, so all he'll do is access my desktop, open up the browser, and open up localhost/wordpress and localhost/wordpress/wp-admin [12:37] yep [12:37] Muelli: i think it worked: http://pastebin.com/7xZiQxBu (besides the error) [12:37] ray1claw: why not port forward port 80 on the router to port 80 on the server and he can browse it [12:37] Muelli: or not [12:37] Muelli: missing /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf [12:38] ray1claw: you just need to give him your WAN IP and he can web browse as normal. [12:38] azbarcea_: no. Yeah, that's the point. Let's mkdir /etc/initramfs-tools [12:38] azbarcea_: and then "sudo touch /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf". Weird though. I would have expected it to set that up for us. Something's weird anyway. [12:38] ray1claw: you don't need the full desktop for that. VNC is really OTT for that purpose. [12:39] Muelli: i do have the directory initramfs-tools, no need to recreate it: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551387/ [12:39] oh, that's interesting indeed azbarcea_. So just do the touch then [12:40] ActionParsnip, can you elucidate on that please? I have a modem connected in series with a router/repeater.. my modem is a beetle 220bx and i dont see any port forwarding or NAT options in there, but there are plenty of options within my router.. [12:40] Muelli: ok ... at least something new: http://pastebin.com/exTwyXgu [12:41] Muelli: when we last did this we were in kernel -15 ... now we are in -12 (if it matters) [12:42] ActionParsnip, i'd appreciate if you could help me step by step on this, 'cause I'm still a newb to all this [12:42] ray1claw: you will need to access the config of your router using your web browser, you will then go to the port forwarding (sometimes called virtual server) and tell the router to forward al requests on port 80 to the IP address of your web server [12:42] ray1claw: I can't do it step by step as routers vary massively, there is no single answer [12:43] azbarcea_: WTF? /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 360: cannot create : Directory nonexistent. Arr. I have way too many of your pastebins open -.- Trying to find the script... [12:43] ray1claw: once you access your routers config page, start hunting through the options, you'll find it === e|f_ is now known as e|f [12:44] Muelli: at least ": mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 2" we have gzip 2 instead of 1 :D [12:44] azbarcea_: your /bin/sh is dash again, right? [12:44] ActionParsnip, I realize that, the problem is, that my modem (beetle 220bx) (accessed by putting in 192.168.1.1 into the browser) is a very old model and has no port-forwarding/NAT/virtual server options.. I can pastebin a screenie if you'd like [12:45] Muelli: yep [12:45] Muelli: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2012-02-15 13:40 /bin/sh -> dash* [12:45] God damn!. Its like the perfect day here.. I now can have schools install my costumized distro of ubuntu - join it to the domain - have users log on. Have each school pick their own common shares plus their own private ones.. awsome! [12:45] ray1claw: i'd check your manual, if there is no port forwarding then you are pretty stuck [12:47] azbarcea_: do you remember the last bash -x you executed? I can't find it right now, but we want to do that again (but slightly different) [12:47] ActionParsnip, but the wifi router (which is a different device altogether - accessed by putting in 192.168.2.1 into the browser) is fairly and has post forwarding in there. My question is, will it work if I forward it from there.. the heirarchy is phone cable->modem->wifi router->desktop [12:47] *fairly new [12:47] ray1claw: the modom is a transparent device so don't sweat the modem too much [12:48] i installed gnome 3 and some how i can't get all the shortcuts working. for example ctrl + alt + d or ctrl + alt + t is not working even they seem to be mapped in keyboard settings [12:48] if you have a cable modem plugged into the wan port of a router, the router sees all the ports at the wan side afaik [12:48] what should i do [12:48] Muelli: this one: sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic.new 3.0.0-16-generic 2>&1 | wgetpaste [12:48] yakc: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [12:49] Muelli: we don't have -16 installed to do this, I should make an apt-get isntall -16 first, right? [12:49] azbarcea_: yeah, hm. do that again but with -12 and "/bin/sh" instead of "bash". [12:49] lxde volume icon slider is not working and its settings are not accessible. and icon appears with dark background then others. How to do it? [12:49] people, for start a application I'm putting the start in /etc/rc.local. for stop this app when I do a reboot/halt, where I put this command to stop app bofore machine stop? [12:49] ActionParsnip, it simply says oneiric [12:50] yakc: ok then Gnome3 is default installed. You don't have to install it manually [12:50] Muelli: i did a sudo bash ... http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551390/ [12:50] azbarcea_: do it w/o bash but /bin/sh [12:50] Muelli: but the previous one was with bash and 16 [12:50] azbarcea_: yeah, hm. do that again but with -12 and "/bin/sh" instead of "bash". [12:51] ActionParsnip, okay, so I found virtual servers in the router settings, can you tell me what all goes in the text boxes here? The fields are labelled: Inbound port, Type(TCP/UDP), Private Address Port (192.168.2.___), Private port [12:51] So I have a question for you gurus. I'm running a linux-based drive-wiping software on multiple machines with RAID controllers. I was wondering if there was a way to always correlate a number from the controller to a mount point, and make it that way every time (regardless of UUID). So Port 2 on the SAS/SATA/Whatever controller always points to /dev/sd* [12:51] Muelli: all the output :D /bin/sh: Can't open mkinitramfs [12:51] Muelli: I think I'll go nuts :D [12:51] ah... [12:51] Hi I took 12.04 for a test drive and I get an error message that says my cpu doesn't have pae. What is pae. My cpu isnt that old. [12:51] azbarcea_: make it sudo /bin/sh /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs ... [12:52] ray1claw: on your system, run: iconfig you will see your IP address [12:52] Metaphysicist, doesnt the raid controller automatically number the drives according to their slot in the bays? [12:52] Muelli: however: "sudo bash -x mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic.new 3.0.0-12-generic 2>&1 | wgetpaste" outputs http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551393/ [12:53] ray1claw: do you have it? It will be something like 192.168.2.2 or similar [12:53] acmeinc1, iconfig or ifconfig or iwconfig? [12:53] damo22, that would've been my assumption also, but since the drives themselves are not running in RAID, and we pull certain ones out (as in not in sequence all the time), the controller is just a pointer for us, and sometimes it doesn't stick. [12:53] Muelli: $ sudo /bin/sh -x /usr/bin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-12-generic.new 3.0.0-12-generic 2>&1 [12:53] /bin/sh: Can't open /usr/bin/mkinitramfs [12:53] azbarcea_: /usr/sbin/ [12:54] ActionParsnip, my local ip is 192.168.2.3 btw [12:54] do i need to install the recommended updates? [12:54] Metaphysicist, it might be worth pulling out all the drives, (labelling them of course beforehand) then put a random one into slot 0 and see if it changes when you put the same drive into slot 1 [12:54] ActionParsnip, iconfig or ifconfig or iwconfig? [12:55] Muelli: no shit ... the same thing, but differs gzip 1 (bash) to gzip 2 (dash) http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551394/ [12:55] Metaphysicist, of course dont start the raid or you'll clobber data [12:55] ray1claw: it's the inet addr: adress [12:55] damo22, right, thank you, I'll give it a try [12:55] ray1claw: try both, why not :) [12:55] well azbarcea_. It also says "/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 1: cannot create : Directory nonexistent" now, doesn't it? [12:55] ActionParsnip, its 192.168.2.3 [12:56] Local. [12:56] ray1claw: ok then use port 80 and forward it to that IP using the web interface [12:56] Hi I took 12.04 for a test drive and I get an error message that says my cpu doesn't have pae. What is pae?. My cpu isnt that old. [12:56] Not inet. [12:56] i am unable to install the gnome pack in unity [12:56] Metaphysicist, my guess is that slot0 maps to /dev/sdb and slot1 maps to /dev/sdc etc [12:56] i tried for the 3rd time [12:57] it downloads 8.5 mb of something and aborts the installation [12:57] what should i do? [12:58] is there a solution for usb 3.0 failing part time then being restored on rsync cronjob backup xhci_hcd ? [12:58] k-rAd-, what do you mean? [12:58] exit [12:58] exit [12:59] i halts for a time then resumes [12:59] k-rAd-, i have seen usb3 issues that have not been resolved before [12:59] Muelli: yes, you're right ... [12:59] azbarcea_: no idea why that is though :-\ [12:59] i could switch to my other controller [13:00] k-rAd-, i suggest try usb2 [13:00] yourfrinedisaac: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise issues please [13:00] how to remove half installed packages [13:00] !pae | yourfrinedisaac [13:00] yourfrinedisaac: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel.

[13:01] Muelli: another backup and a plan to reinstall ... [13:01] Actionparsnip, okay thanks [13:01] nah azbarcea_. Should be fixable. What did you do in first place? You mentioned that you tried to install your own kernel... === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [13:03] Muelli: muon started by itself and freezed up at 97% [13:03] azbarcea_: what's moun/ [13:03] Muelli: after that I did a apt-get update, upgrade witch failed with the same errors [13:04] Muelli: Muon - Package Manager for KDE - Kubuntu [13:04] Muelli: by default with kubuntu 11.10 ... [13:05] hm azbarcea_. [13:05] Muelli: after I saw I'm not able to reinstall kernel (dist-upgrade, witch freeze there ... I presume) [13:06] azbarcea_: can you do a dpkg-reconfigure -p low initramfs-tools ? (and give us the output..)

[13:30] branant: upgrade definately, then install my usual apps and uninstall all the guff I don't use or don't like [13:30] tualatrix: Can I ask you a question concerning the server, please? :) [13:30] qmr1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ppa-purge [13:31] heizmann, yes, of course [13:31] E: Couldn't find package ppa-purge [13:31] Muelli: yes with a lot of output, the same I pasted you some lines ago [13:31] like I already said [13:31] qmr1: can you give a pastebin of the output of: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [13:31] azbarcea_: can you paste the whole thing again? [13:32] ... I can pastebin that file. I don't have gedit, this is a server [13:32] How to poweroff all live machines remotely? [13:32] qmr1: ok, then run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [13:32] tualatrix: what is the ip of the server? :) well, that way I could ping myself to see if it is up or down (during the day ^^) [13:32] tbic, I have the same issue, so if you find a solution please pm me. [13:32] I'll just copy and paste. [13:32] Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551408/ [13:33] heizmann, http://ubuntu-tweak.com it is not down, just the download file is error [13:33] qmr1: pastebinit is a cli pastebin command, dead handy [13:33] except it only supports bad pastebins [13:33] raahede, do you have an ati graphics card? [13:33] anyhoo, here is sources file http://pastebin.com/t2cHduT3 [13:34] qmr1: you can give an option to use a different bin, not sure what a bad pastebni is tbh [13:34] could I open a .rp file(Axure Pro) directly on ubuntu? just read is ok. [13:34] tualatrix: oh, ok, I understand :) !!!... thanks, by the way, ubuntu-tweak is good software. ;) [13:34] I love it. [13:34] ActionParsnip: copying line numbers w source code, font that makes it hard to distinguish between 1 and l, O and 0, tiny font, among other things [13:35] !info ppa-purge lucid [13:35] Package ppa-purge does not exist in lucid [13:35] qmr1: ok, basically the PPAs make files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d if you delete the files in that folder relating to the PPA, it will do the same thing [13:36] thanks. just read to do that on a page [13:36] heizmann, I'm glad that you like it :) Enjoy [13:36] qmr1: strange it's not in there [13:36] tbic, no I have a intel GMA 4500MHD. Its only in one of my laptops (thinkpad 0196-2EG). which is a partition install aside windows 7. But in my other laptop there is no problems at all (thikpad T41), the difference is that the T41 has a full ubuntu desktop install.. [13:37] tualatrix: work again? ^^' [13:37] tbic, so I dont know if it is the partition install that fails? [13:38] ...mmhhh, not for yet... not enough fixing ^^... well, I try this later tualatrix :) [13:38] hi all! i want to send my pc to standby instantly when pressing the power button - but i cant get rid of the shutdown dialogue which asks me what to do (shown,reboot etc.) is there any way to override windomanagers und directly react on the power button? [13:38] not yet* [13:39] raahede, I only started noticing the issues when I installed a new graphics card. [13:39] hey all could you guys explain the concept of a "mount point" when running the ubuntu installer to prepare partitions? === max is now known as Guest24843 [13:39] mount points are different directories [13:40] if you want a different partition for the /boot/ directory, for example, you could make one [13:40] all you really need though is a swap partition and another partition mounted as / [13:40] Yabden, so how will this influence my bootup .. I'd like GRUB to handle the boot [13:41] it won't influence it, it's a bit advanced and mostly used for specific things [13:41] if i were installing it over a existing windows install [13:41] ohh ok [13:41] but most of the time i'd want just good old / [13:41] yeah, / and swap is all you need [13:41] ok cool got both of those! thansk! [13:42] I suggest separate /home too [13:42] Makes reinstalls so much easier [13:42] +1 [13:42] azbarcea_: what does readlink -q -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty give yuo? [13:42] Muelli: ... do you have any other tricks? [13:42] Muelli: nothing [13:42] tbic, okay weird, my T41 has a ATI graffic card and there is no problems. Maybe it could be some graffic cards models? :( Hope there is an answer for this, its really annoying [13:43] Muelli: $ readlink -q -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty [13:43] $ === Guest12338 is now known as Aranel [13:43] so nothing that is, azbarcea_..? Which exit code? [13:44] Muelli: no output what so ever! [13:44] ah azbarcea_. remove the -q. [13:44] azbarcea_: what does readlink -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty give you? === mint is now known as c31r2g [13:44] Muelli: same - no output what so ever! [13:44] and immediately echo $? afterwards? [13:45] Muelli: 1 [13:45] tbic, I have read something on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze [13:45] tbic, maybe you should have a look at that. [13:45] ...mmhhh, is there a solution to create a live iso, like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but with the possibility to implement a luks container (cryptsetup), with some logical volumes like /, /home, /usr... inside the crypt luks container? (with an automatic mount) ? [13:45] hi gang [13:45] hello phix [13:46] logical volumes == with lvm2... :) [13:46] phix:remember me,thanks for the help yesterday! [13:46] raahede, Thanks I will look into it, I think I have already and my logs do not show anything unsual. [13:46] azbarcea_: what does readlink -v -m /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty give you? [13:47] c31r2g: yay [13:48] c31r2g: any time [13:48] Muelli: readlink doesn't return anything, but if i give it with /bin/readlink ... than we have something [13:48] you have more questiona? [13:48] Muelli: /tmp/tmp.GlhsF8w83N/texmfgP6UZty [13:49] thanks phix :) [13:49] not atm phix.:) [13:49] oh, wait a second [13:49] :D [13:49] Hi guys, I have a NVIDIA quadro nvs 120M and I'm running ubuntu, my problem is that I can't enable unity 3d even with proprietary drivers....any suggestion? [13:49] azbarcea_: what's type -a readlink ? [13:49] Muelli: You require assistance now? [13:50] Muelli: readlink is /usr/bin/readlink [13:50] readlink is /bin/readlink [13:50] hm. funny. [13:51] Muelli: so /usr/bin/readlink is the one that does not outputs anything [13:51] azbarcea_: What does file /usr/bin/readlink say? [13:51] Muelli: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2012-02-13 11:04 /usr/bin/readlink -> /usr/lib/klibc/bin/readlink* [13:52] Muelli: I'll just erase that symlink and point recrete it to /bin/readlink [13:52] hm azbarcea_. dunno yet. [13:52] azbarcea_: Maybe do a dpkg -S /usr/bin/readlink first [13:53] wow Spartacus112358 hung around long.. haha [13:53] Muelli: $ sudo dpkg -S /usr/bin/readlink [13:53] dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/readlink. [13:54] azbarcea_: ? So who put that symlink there? what does dpkg -S /usr/lib/klibc/bin/readlink say? [13:54] Please :) is there a good, nice tutorial to learn how to create live systems? (basing on ubuntu)? With debootstrap, chroot techniques etc. (like this tuto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ) which use only the terminal? I wish I could create a live system like this, but using cryptsetup (luks) and logical volume management (with lvm2). It is certainly possible, but how? [13:54] Muelli: I think I did it 2012-02-13 ... but I can't recall why [13:55] Apparently part of klibc-utils package [13:55] Muelli: it had to do somthing with the fact that readlink was missing ... and I found a version of readlink in klibc ... [13:55] yes azbarcea_. Remove the symlink. That's crap. Never do such a thing >.< [13:56] When I try to start libre office calc, I only get a splash screen [13:56] Started today [13:56] azbarcea_: what else have you modified? maybe a find with the appropriate parameters will help *digging the man page* [13:56] The same with the other libre office products [13:56] What can I do? [13:56] Hi. My evince print dialog keeps only giving my home printer, although I am now at work and a work printer is set up as the default using a remote cups server. How do I get evince to refresh it's printer list? [13:57] why i cannot login using ctrl+alt+f1 while i am using correct password it says incorrect login???? [13:57] try opening libre office calc using a terminal [13:57] it will tell you the error it is experiencing loading [13:57] Hello, I've setup a vpn server and I can connect and also go to the internet but for some reason you don't need a password or anything to log on, could anyone help me set this up? [13:57] azbarcea_: what does "find /usr/bin/ -ctime +1" say? Hopefully not too much -.- [13:57] Yabden: what if you rename ~/.libreoffice ? [13:58] Yabden: Good idea, [Java framework] Error in function createSettinsgDocument (elements.cxx). [13:58] ActionParsnip: I removed it [13:58] Ah, wait, maybe I have a full hd [13:58] Muelli: blody hell: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551426/ [13:58] ah, thats it [13:58] Must remove some files and try again :) [13:58] ah, no worries azbarcea_. Maybe wrong find arguments -.- [13:59] Hello, I've setup a vpn server and I can connect and also go to the internet but for some reason you don't need a password or anything to log on, could anyone help me set this up? [14:00] azbarcea_: try with mtime instead of ctime. ctime is bad. it updates as soon as you access a file... === go is now known as go^ [14:00] anli__: clean out old kernels. May also want to run: sudo apt-get clean [14:00] Muelli: same http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551427/ [14:01] yeah [14:01] Wonder why I cant get an error dialog [14:01] Thats what I expect on this kind of errors [14:01] Whats so hard with writing "there is no disk space left so libre office could not run" :) [14:02] anli__: that'll do it [14:02] anli__: could report a bug [14:02] hi...after I installed laptop mode tools my ubuntu freezes totally about every 45mins...does anyone know why this happens?? [14:02] Muelli: lets see if that readlink solved the problem ... I do not recall other symlinks to be made in /usr/bin [14:02] hm, cant even empty trash can [14:02] ok azbarcea_. leave it then. Let's hope there is no more stuff. Do the update-texmf again [14:03] anli__: also if you install and run bleachbit, you can free lots of space. have as amany apps closed as possible, avoid settings which say they will take a long time and watch settings or it will remove stuff you want. You will get a lot of space back [14:03] history | grep texmf [14:03] zikos you could try checking /var/log/messages [14:03] anli__: also uninstalling old kernels frees up LOADS of space (120Mb per kernel) [14:03] apt-get clean was nice howerver [14:03] Oh, I never download those [14:03] anli__: what, new kernels? [14:04] yeah, new kernels [14:04] anli__: ok thats one thing to not worry about then [14:04] I am so happy with the already running one :) [14:04] Muelli: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/551431/ [14:05] azbarcea_: so it seems to work \o/ [14:05] azbarcea_: do aptitude purge jadetex then [14:05] Muelli: not quite ... that is not the regular output [14:05] Muelli: that is the error output [14:05] Hi. My evince print dialog keeps only giving my home printer, although I am now at work and a work printer is set up as the default using a remote cups server. How do I get evince to refresh it's printer list? (what's protocol on re-asking?) [14:05] azbarcea_: why not? Try purging [14:05] Muelli: alex@horus:~$ sudo bash -x /usr/sbin/update-texmf 2>&1 | wgetpaste [14:06] Muelli: if I don't redirect 2 to 1 ... I don't get any output [14:06] Muelli: lets try purging ... [14:06] thats good azbarcea_. try purging now [14:08] Muelli: https://gist.github.com/2ef9384cfd606040bdba - can u see it? [14:08] Muelli: no errors :) [14:08] Muelli: you rule! :) [14:08] azbarcea_: so that was indeed a problem. Hope you learned to not burn your, and more importantly: my time by symlinking wildly in your $PATH ;-) [14:09] but azbarcea_. That doesn't necessarily bring you your kernel and initramfs back. So aptitude install linux-image [14:09] Muelli: I simply forgot about that! You're right! [14:10] jesus christ. That was a long hunt for an incompatible readlink implementation. [14:10] Yabden, how do I do that === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [14:10] azbarcea_: you might as well file a bug against that implementation. I.e. ubuntu-bug klibc-utils [14:10] open a terminal and do: sudo cat /var/log/messages | more [14:10] azbarcea_: and include your test vector in the bugreport. [14:11] there will likely be something in that file saying why your OS froze [14:11] Muelli: test vector? [14:11] azbarcea_: don't forget to aptitude install kubuntu-desktop jadetex again. [14:11] why i cannot login in console using ubuntu 11.10 [14:11] azbarcea_: yeah, the readlink calls that produce a different result. [14:12] Muelli: https://gist.github.com/6146446360ef3237d460 [14:12] azbarcea_: :) nice [14:13] Muelli: how to I reinstall kernel -16 and all stuff and to be sure I'm ... with the daily stuff [14:13] prashant_123456: do you get a login prompt? [14:13] azbarcea_: aptitude install kubuntu-desktop jadetex linux-image [14:13] prashant_123456: can you login with the details on the desktop? [14:13] Yabden, no such file or directory :/ === rifle is now known as riflon [14:14] Hi [14:14] Chipzzz, yep i can login using gnome but when i try to login using ctrl+alt+f1 it says incorrect login kroonrs [14:14] ahh, maybe it's in a different place in ubuntu then [14:15] Chipzzz, kroonrs any suggestions === _apostate_ is now known as [_A_] [14:15] Muelli: thank you very much - https://gist.github.com/7acc267db8e20bde9e00 [14:15] prashant_123456: try running "grep /etc/passwd" on the terminal, with the username you are trying to log in with [14:16] Yabden, what do you use - Debian? :D [14:16] yeah, debian [14:17] azbarcea_: you're welcome. I'll tell you once I happen to be in Romania to grab a cold beer ;-) [14:17] kroonrs, sorry i dont understand i can use terminal [14:17] Muelli: it will be my pleasure! [14:17] prashant_123456: i would try logging in with the recovery console and changing the password [14:18] Chipzzz, i have changed the password and can login using gnome and have access to everything [14:19] Chipzzz, but login incorrect at console while i use ctrl+alt+f1 [14:19] prashant_123456: I think the problem is that your username on console login is _not_ the name displayed when you log in on gnome [14:19] prashant_123456: to find out the correct name, open the file explorer [14:19] kroonrs, then [14:20] prashant_123456: click on file system on the left [14:20] prashant_123456: and then home [14:20] Please :) is there a good, nice tutorial to learn how to create live systems? (basing on ubuntu)? With debootstrap, chroot techniques etc. (like this tuto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ) which use only the terminal? I wish I could create a live system like this, but using cryptsetup (luks) and logical volume management (with lvm2). It is certainly possible, but how? [14:20] prashant_123456: i.e. the filder on the right saying "home" [14:20] prashant_123456: that's why i suggest logging in with the recovery console and changing the password... that will make your root password whatever you change it to [14:20] prashant_123456: how many folders are inside that home folder? === marcelo is now known as Guest11532 [14:21] kroonrs, 10 folders [14:21] prashant_123456: do any look like they could be yours? [14:21] hey guy [14:22] prashant_123456: you should perhaps only have access to one - the name of the folder _should_ be your username [14:22] kroonrs, i let me try that [14:23] why are people volunteering here? what motivates you? [14:23] synergy -- check vpn --check coffee --check [14:23] good morning ubuntu [14:23] Guest11532: that doesn't really matter, people are here to help. [14:23] Guest11532, disc uss in #ubuntu-offtopic please [14:24] ikonia, I am asking because It matters to me at least [14:24] bazhang, ok [14:25] Guest11532: i'm intrigued by your response that it matters to you... are you researching something? [14:25] I've the same problem as prashant_123456 [14:25] Chipzzz: please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. [14:25] Pici: sorry, you're right [14:27] yashshah, any solutions [14:28] prashant_123456: did it work for you? [14:28] kroonrs, nope [14:28] kroonrs, any other solutions [14:29] prashant_123456: go to the dash home and run "terminal" [14:29] Salve [14:29] kroonrs, ok [14:29] !it | TiG3r [14:29] TiG3r: 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) [14:29] kroonrs, then [14:30] prashant_123456: on the terminal, try running "grep "User Name" /etc/passwd" on the terminal, with the username you are trying to log in with [14:30] Every time I reboot my computer, I have to use the fw cutter tools to re-enable my wifi, how can I change that? [14:30] Hello! I'm finding delay in boot time and these are the bootcharts for last two booting - http://imagebin.org/199031 http://imagebin.org/199035 . I'm not too much concerned about boot time but can anyone explain me what exactly is consuming time and how can I fix it? [14:31] prashant_123456: you should get some colon-separated fields, with User Name in the fifth field === OlaRune_ is now known as OlaRune === arno is now known as Guest53821 [14:32] kroonrs, there what should i find [14:32] prashant_123456: you should get some colon-separated fields, with User Name in the fifth field [14:32] prashant_123456: your login name for the console is in the first field [14:33] kroonrs, root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash [14:33] kroonrs, its the first line [14:33] quick question, my vps only has 10.04 as the only ubuntu option to install but I need 11.10 (oneiric) in order to be able to install one of the openStack cloud tech. Can I install Lucid and do a dist-upgrade to oneiric? [14:34] Hi, I would like to install lightdm on my natty is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric? [14:34] prashant_123456: ok, so then it's not the login name that's a problem. Can you on the terminal run "su root" [14:34] kroonrs, yep [14:35] prashant_123456: does it prompt you for a password? [14:35] kroonrs, yep [14:35] Every time I reboot my laptop (11.10) the wifi is disabled. I have to use sudo b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o [14:35] DarkStar1: wait until April and install Precise :) [14:35] prashant_123456: hold on a sec: are you actually logged in to your gui as root? [14:35] Hi [14:35] along with sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb & sudo modprobe b43 to reenble it, how do I make it enabled permanently [14:36] DarkStar1: if you have lucid and want Oneiric you will need to upgrade to Maverick, then natty then oneiric [14:36] I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails [14:36] kroonrs, it says auth failure while i put password in it [14:36] the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version 2.0.1.9 to 2.0.2.0, but unfortunately the problem persists [14:36] prashant_123456: are you actually logged in to your gui as root? if so, you would not be prompted for a password when you typed "su root", I think. [14:36] What can I do to solve the problem? [14:37] daniLEIGH79: sounds like you have power saving on [14:37] kroonrs: that would be a bad idea too [14:37] Hi, I would like to install lightdm on my natty is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric? [14:37] kroonrs, but it requires password [14:37] danileigh79: powersaving will turn off the wifi card to save battery life [14:37] prashant_123456: I'am also looking for the solution [14:37] ActionParsnip: a 3 step upgrade. No other way? [14:37] meskarune: No, I mean everytime I reboot, Ubuntu loads without wifi support and I have to reenable it with the fwcutter and modprobe tools [14:38] DarkStar1: no, you have to stop at the next release, if you wait til April you can upgrade from LTS to LTS and get 12.04 [14:38] prashant_123456: there is no root password, and the account is disabled... [14:38] ActionParsnip: Lucid is 10.04 right? and from 10.04-11.10 I have to do 10.10, then 11.04 then 11.10 [14:38] prashant_123456, yashshah: I have to go now, unfortunately. It seems you are not logged in as root, so root can't be the correct login credentials for you. [14:38] I would like to install lightdm on my natty ,is it safe? Will I get the same appearance of lightdm as in oneiric? Someone advice me ! [14:38] DarkStar1: yes lucid == 10.04 [14:39] kroonrs, thanks for the help [14:39] DarkStar1: yes you need to upgrade through each release consquetively. Or just clean install Oneiric [14:39] ActionParsnip, so what to do [14:39] prashant_123456: log in as your user and use that, when you need admin (root) access, use sudo. Its how the OS is designed [14:39] prashant_123456: It is solved [14:40] yashshah, tell me how [14:40] ActionParsnip, i have root password [14:40] can someone suggest whether should I install lightdm on natty? Is someone kind enough to answer? [14:40] yashshah, ?? [14:40] prashant_123456: Your password contains any number? [14:41] yashshah, yep [14:41] slingshot: try it, if it doesn't work then you can uninstall it [14:41] prashant_123456: its not supported here, and its not advised, or needed [14:41] prashant_123456:Dun type with numpad, type it with the no. above the alphabets [14:41] I thought 11.04 was LTS [14:41] yashshah, ok [14:41] DarkStar1: 8.04, 10.04, 12.04 are LTS [14:41] yashshah, let me try [14:41] DarkStar1: nope, 20.04 [14:41] DarkStar1: the intermediate releases are not [14:41] DarkStar1: nope, 10.04 [14:41] prashant_123456: Okay! Good luck! [14:41] uhh, what if something goes wrong? how can I get back to gdm then danileigh79?

I think I can get it to connect to the VPN server, but I'm having trouble routing all traffic through the VPN from the CLI [15:20] WarDekar: sudo route add default dev ppp0 [15:20] WarDekar: All done :P [15:20] meskarune: nothing at all :( [15:20] theadmin: thanks let me try that out [15:21] theadmin: nice [15:21] Aelingil, I'm pretty sure that in Grub Legacy, one could simply edit (after making a back-up copy, of course) the menu.lst file to accomplish what you want. I'm not sure that would work with Grub 2. I'm on 10.04, and sorry I can't be more effective in my efforts to help you. [15:22] ActionParsnip: What is, the route command? I got it off my ex-ISPs website, works for most PPTP providers just fine [15:22] question: where can i disable the automatic launch of f-spot after connecting a memory-card with images? f-spots prefs seem to not have that function - so i expect it somewhere outside f-spot [15:22] theadmin: looks ok to me [15:22] theadmin: might need gw option maybe === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [15:23] theadmin: when i do that i get booted from the server and have to reboot it, i'm assuming this means it's not connecting to the VPN? [15:23] WarDekar: Hm, probably. Either way, to set up a PPTP vpn connection use the "pptpsetup" program, it does all the dirty work for you [15:23] can one upgrade safely from 32bit to 64bit ubuntu? [15:23] yourfrinedisaac: Nope [15:23] yourfrinedisaac: No. [15:24] okay possible I set some config things wrong I was editing a bunch of diff files trying to set this thing up [15:24] Sidewinder1, i'll look up that too, thank you! [15:24] threadmin, and jpds, thanks lol [15:24] WarDekar: Basically: sudo pptpsetup --create myprovider --server pptp.example.org --username user --password "!AmHax0r" && sudo pon myprovider [15:25] right reading the help right now [15:25] theadmin, and jpds, thanks lol [15:25] yourfrinedisaac: Sure. [15:26] oh yeah I remember this, when i tried doing it this way before: "FATAL: Module ppp_compress_18 not found | /usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in kernel." [15:26] WarDekar: Maybe try without --encrypt? [15:27] yeah i didn't use the --encrypt option [15:27] would anybody be able to help me with some advice to get a printer working with Ubuntu? I have to sort this out and desperately don't want to go back to windoze. It's a canon pixma mp495 all in one. The scanner just doesn't work but the printer will print from most programs - but not the one I need - Scribus. [15:27] kingfisher64,,, wireless? [15:27] how do I change the screen resolution from the terminal? [15:28] am i gonna have to build kernel myself? or should i just use a different distribution?

[15:36] friends, my ubuntu is sick, I am not getting the login screen (May be X din't load). Tried recovery din't work. any suggestion ? [15:36] rabbi1: you need to tell us specifically what is wrong. when you turn on your computer, and hit ubuntu in grub what happens? [15:36] rabbi1: an you start i.e. lightdm from terminal after boot? [15:37] Bubo: u have already removed gimp, remove the supporting files, and then update your apt-get and then select Gimp from the Syn Mgr, and install [15:37] Anyone, um, I remember we had a program in the repos which allowed to emulate most X events (mouse clicks, keypresses, window resizing, tons of stuff), it was really handy but I totally forgot the name, Google is of no help...

I've tried for days (not in a row thankfully) to get this working and I just can't. [15:42] xdotool is cool [15:42] i have gpu problem. please help [15:42] Bubo: try running "sudo aptitude"... it's pretty good at resolving such problems [15:42] fidel: i am able to login from there, and i also tried resetting gnome and xorg, but no luck after that, still i am able to login from ctrl+alt+f6 [15:42] Chipzzz: command not found [15:43] rabbi1: define "no luck" regarding restarting x/loginmanager [15:43] kingfisher64: what make / model? [15:43] rabbi1: if you can log in, do you think you could type "startx" and see if x starts?

End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [16:40] kimo: you can't go directly from 10.10 to 11.10 [16:41] is there OCR software for ubuntu? [16:41] Bubo_: it isn't in recovery mode if you didn't get a grub menu [16:41] ActionParsnip:sorry my fault, its the next upgrade after 10.10 [16:42] kimo: the releases are every six months, so you'd have to go from 10.10 to 11.04 to 11.10 (would be better to just fresh install 11.10) [16:43] Bubo_: the other question is a little harder... i don't know what being in recovery mode is going to help in your situation [16:43] kimo: what GPU do you use? What happened when you tried a clean 11.10 install [16:43] ActionParsnip:I have tried to install 10.10 straight away it didnt work === Companion is now known as companion [16:44] kimo: what happened? [16:44] !ocr | Lint [16:44] Lint: For OCR (optical character recognition) software in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR for packages and instructions. === liam_ is now known as Guest5582 [16:44] ActionParsnip: the system is restarting tried it several times [16:45] i used thunderbird from some mozilla ppa, how do i revert to ubuntu-thunderbird? [16:45] MonkeyDust, it was last updated 1 year ago [16:45] nibbler__ delete the ppa [16:45] Lint that happens [16:45] nibbler__: remove the PPA, uninstall thunderbird then reinstall it [16:45] ActionParsnip - well i've just finished installing the printer and it works. Not tried the scanner yet. I think there is a problem with the print queue's or something as it worked exactly as before on re-install but I hit a button on the top and it worked, printing something previous out. many thanks for your advice though :) ActionParsnip++ [16:46] MonkeyDust, ah okay - thanks [16:46] !ppa-purge | nibbler__ [16:46] nibbler__: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [16:46] MonkeyDust, before i tried to do that, and it wanted to remove like 200 dependencies - now i used apt-get instead of aptitude... and ran an update in between - don't know what solved my problem :) [16:46] Toph2 - did you get your printer working? [16:47] Hi again.. I booted into recovery mode, but when I get the menu there i cant choose anything, it seems my keyboard isnt responding.. i tried pressing every key on it, nothing. [16:47] nibbler__ if it works, it works :) [16:47] But the backlight on the buttons is working === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [16:47] MonkeyDust, exactly ;-) [16:48] Bubo: do you get a working F1 terminal?

Boot sequence is correct. error is 'Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(8,1)' [16:49] Bubo: that's pretty strange... is it a USB keyboard or anything?

[16:50] or f6.. === Rango_ is now known as Rango [16:51] thanks Bubo [16:51] f7 Bubo [16:51] Bubo: it's beginning to look like you're stuck with the older gimp until a newer libglib2 turns up in your repos [16:52] Oh, cant i just delete libglib2 and try to install the new one ? [16:52] when i try remove libglib2 i get some other error, should i paste it in paste.ubuntu ? [16:52] I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the policy for re-requesting help. I guess I can assume no one knows where to start if no one responds? [16:52] bgs1: test your RAM [16:53] im trying to install skype on oneiric, but it does not work [16:53] Also, it worked before I formatted Chipzzz. I had gimp 2.7.x version, but i hadnt installed 2.6.x version before it.. maybe thats the problem [16:53] Bubo: i'm thinking that since you're installing a gimp that isn't available in the ubuntu repos yet, the required libglib may not be available yet either [16:53] after several tries now i dont even see skype in the repository eventhough i have the partner repo activated [16:53] how can i debug this [16:53] ActionParsnip, the hdd OS loads just fine; would that preclude a RAM problem? [16:53] Is there a way to convert OGV to AVI without making it look like crap? [16:54] But it was available for me before formatting [16:54] kingfisher64: try both xsane and simplescan. I've seen simplescan not work where xsane did [16:54] i installed the gimp then the same way i tried installing it now [16:54] lanoxx http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/09/15/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-11-10/ [16:55] ActionParsnip:any suggestions [16:55] Bubo: what version libglib is it asking for, what version do you have, and what version ubuntu do you have? [16:55] can linux users have no password? [16:56] 11.10 ubuntu [16:56] bgs1: what GPU do you use?

[16:57] MonkeyDust, software center says: 'There isn't a software package called "skype:i386" in your software sources.' [16:57] but i have partner activated and ran aptitude update a couple of times [16:58] Chipzzz: what do you mean working ? [16:58] lanoxx maybe you should try sudo apt-get update, first [16:58] lanoxx, does apt-cache search skype show anything [16:58] hi folks [16:58] I'm simply too old for puerile stuff like passwords. Still, is it possible? [16:58] ActionParsnip, I was kind of afraid the questions would get down to that level. The truth is the HDD os is a debian install and I don't even have an account on it, so short of opening up the laptop I don't know what the GPU is. I can do that if need be. [16:58] that skype search only shows [16:58] pidgin-skype - Skype plugin for libpurple messengers [16:58] how do I force a device that uses IPv6 autoconfiguration to look for a new route?

[17:00] Lint: sudo requires a password, a user without cannot use sudo [17:00] when i use xming why is the display variable set to 10? [17:00] llutz: You can always use NOPASSWD in sudoers so [17:00] bazhang, is there maybe some cache file that i could delete? [17:00] But then you can't login. [17:00] llutz, and if root user has password, will sudo work for root? [17:00] theadmin: you also can shot yourself in the knee [17:01] llutz: I know :D [17:01] Lint i guess that was an elaborate way to say: "no" [17:01] Lint: sudo always works for root, root is granted full sudo privelegs by default, but then again, point?

[17:02] oH, ok Chipzzz, thanks [17:02] (lol) [17:02] heh [17:02] ill be waiting [17:03] But I don't think you can actually set root to have no passwd [17:03] ... but you could always try, with -f -u [17:03] passwd -f -u root [17:03] Lint but expect the system to say f u ;) [17:03] Never tried, not going to, might not work.. could break things. [17:03] how do I remove an alias in bash set with the alias command? [17:03] ActionParsnip, yes. Toshiba Portege M400. [17:03] caution: unalias alias [17:04] thanks [17:05] Lint: To disable a password on USERNAME, use: sudo passwd -d USERNAME # But still, it's a bad idea. Consider searching for an autologin option in your login manager [17:05] bgs1: seems its an intel thing [17:05] bgs1: try the boot option: nomodeset [17:05] !nomodeset [17:05] 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.

[17:06] i somehow fixed it, so now i have skype installed, but when i start it on the terminal then there is no output and skype does not run [17:07] no reaction at all [17:07] ActionParsnip - last time i tried xsane wouldn't work - but will give both a go. :) [17:07] ActionParsnip, can you please give me a little more detail into how to set a boot option? I'm sorry, I'm fairly new to this. Is it something I change on the boot cd? something I change in the bios? [17:07] bgs1: the link shows how [17:08] Ohh. Ubutto's message. I see, thanks.

[17:17] Thurin1, it's not what? [17:17] Lint, it depends on how you tweaked your desktop and if you're using KDE/GNOME. [17:17] It's not impossible. [17:17] Err [17:17] Viman: should be to change fps rate in the main conversion window [17:17] Well in Unity not sure.

[17:20] When you click the open dialog, you see the panel to the left with destinations? Add network as a destination as well. [17:21] Thurin1: changing fps didn't exactly do it. The screen still looks scrambled (I did a screencast) [17:21] how do I set a system wide environmental var? [17:21] from gtk-RecordMyDesktop [17:22] Viman: Yeah, not fps.. overall quality. [17:22] Thurin1, there's only Search, Recent, Home, Desktop, Filesystem, Floppy, CDROM, and folders from my profile, no network in sight [17:22] Just read the ffmepg manual, it tells you how to set parameters. [17:22] Anyone in here have any experience with KDE and ATI, basically, I have my tri monitor setup perfect, except for one thing, the main monitor is set as my far left, when it needs to be my middle, anyone know how to change which is the primary with the aticonfig command or the control panel for it?

Then go to .gvfs and your remote share will be mounted there. [17:26] Keep in mind that the 'open' dialog is application specific, so for some you'll never be able to open across network.

[19:15] savage2005: try this [19:16] cloudgeek: you could watch revolution OS. its a documentary on linux in general [19:16] cloudgeek: yea the bash is very good tool [19:16] hi, I have a cursor problem. here is a video showing what is happening:http://youtu.be/LLMzTE-d7Fw I think it was caused when I chose 'high contrast' from the accessibility icon during installation of Ubuntu. How can i fix this? thanks! [19:17] sudo os-prober [19:17] then [19:17] sudo update-grub [19:17] I think this will fix it [19:18] tkroo: high contrast enables visual assistance, changing from high contrast should fix this [19:18] danileigh79, i've toggled high contrast several times, it still persists [19:18] tkroo: after changing back, did you reboot? [19:19] it found 1 win 1 win recovery and 1 linux, this is promising im going to restart and check it out, thanks ubuntos [19:19] danileigh79, yes rebooted also. [19:19] savage2005: you are welcome :) [19:19] danileigh79, it happens when i use a Unity session and when i use a Gnome session at login. [19:20] ~/.config/autostart or in /etc/xdg/autostart. danileigh79 look this files. [19:20] I'm trying to increase the open file limits for a user name esearch and I edited the limits.conf file but ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn still show 1024 [19:20] is there some trick to get this to work on Ubuntu? === Edgan_ is now known as Edgan [19:20] so it's happening not just in Unity, but also in Gnome. is what i mean. [19:20] tkroo: check out universal access [19:21] tkroo: in system settings [19:21] ubuntos, no dice still 2 of each [19:21] mustafaerhann: gonna check it out in a few [19:22] ok. [19:22] How can I get the graphics library into php? I use plain libapache-php5 [19:22] u should add the command that u using to enable your wifi in a autostart.desktop file. [19:22] mustafaerhann: ok, opened it up in gedit, how should I word the commands? [19:23] exactly what u using to enable your wifi. [19:23] its works as a terminal. [19:23] systemclient: You mean php5-gd? [19:23] danileigh79, i'll try toggling some more options there to see if it helps. i've tried changing the cursor theme and i can get the theme to change, but anywhere the cursor changes to a "hover" icon, it goes to 'high contrast' big style. [19:23] must ok [19:23] Pici: that sounds good [19:23] mustafaerhann: ok [19:23] ok. inform me bio break.! [19:23] tkroo: ok, I'm sorry wasn't of more help [19:24] danileigh79, cheers [19:24] savage2005: are you ready to get your hands dirty and remove them manually ? [19:24] Pici: yeah, it works. thanks! [19:24] systemclient: sure, no problem. [19:24] ubuntos, yeah, be warned though my linux exp is pretty small [19:25] take a look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg [19:26] you must open it with sudo [19:26] sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg [19:26] ubuntos: gksudo [19:27] someone is probably gonna jump on yoru with gksu ubuntos [19:27] the same [19:27] i opened it with gedit, it is empty [19:27] ubuntos: not really [19:27] oh lol [19:27] ubuntos, i opened it with gedit, it is empty [19:27] savage2005: can you do "cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg" in a terminal? [19:28] savage2005: or "locate grub.cfg" [19:28] when I delete something located at a different partition (same machine, not a network mount), then it doesn't show up in the trashcan [19:28] where can I find the trashed files, please? [19:28] are you sure ? [19:29] meskarune, i have grub.cfg located [19:29] awesome [19:29] ubuntos, yes [19:29] cat it out :) [19:30] make sure you type the path correctly [19:30] popsch: usually on the disk as hidden .trash001 [19:30] where do i want to cat it to? [19:31] pastebin.com [19:31] savage2005: just type "cat /path to file" in teh terminal and past the output to pastebin. then link that here [19:31] forever889, interesting. I found that directory, but how do I delete the stuff in there via the gui? [19:32] forever889, these files don't show up when I click on the trash icon [19:32] popsch: depends if its root lock. to get full access to your files use: sudo nautilus [19:33] meskarune, http://pastebin.com/uAnV4W0Y [19:33] in console [19:33] popsch: never do sudo nautilus... [19:33] savage2005: it is not empty loool [19:34] when i opened with gedit it waas [19:34] but just cat in terminal gave me all that [19:34] does anyone know how to change the default pdf viewer [19:34] forever889, popsch, ubuntos: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [19:34] hi i have a problem cups, textonly driver just dont work, log say -document-format-not-supported any ideas? [19:35] ubuntos, i told you i was noob lol [19:35] pallet [19:36] savage2005: no pb I was a noob too not long ago ;) [19:37] savage2005: you have 4 menu entries : [19:37] yeah [19:37] Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic [19:37] Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (recovery mode) [19:38] Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1) [19:38] and [19:38] Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sdd1) [19:38] i only want 2, when i select what os i want its the top win and top ubuntu is it same order in this list? [19:38] mustafaerhann: it won't let me save it, says there's no file to save... [19:40] savage2005: this is the default ubuntu grub behavior [19:42] you can keep 2 menu entries but it is not a good idea [19:42] i dont know what you mean [19:42] savage2005: you may want to keep OS's recovery mode, so if they fail, you'll be able to fix them [19:43] if you want a fancy grub menu try to install burg [19:43] Where should I put my script so it gets executes immediately when I log in? [19:43] http://bit.ly/oRkpLx [19:43] right but those are not on my list the i have 4 os's on my start up only 2 work [19:43] Somelauw: I'm trying to do the same thing lol [19:44] delete that "the" [19:44] Somelauw: I was told ~config/autostart, but I'm having trouble with it saving [19:44] 2 os + 2 recovery [19:44] 2 dont work [19:45] danileigh79: I assume they meant .config [19:45] BlouBlou: is this a graphical environment? if so you can go to startup applications and call out your script there [19:45] Somelauw: you can save it wherever you want, just add it to "Start applications" [19:45] how can i configure the right-click context menu? [19:45] the recoverys are selected using f8 while highlighted [19:45] I want to install ubuntu and I got old IBM thinkpad with very slow HDD , about 12 MB/s read and write , what file system will be the best for such a slow disk? [19:46] is there an RC script in ubuntu that i can add to that will run on-shutdown of a host? [19:46] (we want our cloud hosts to deregister a few things on shutdown.. even if they're going to just reboot) [19:46] danileigh79: It doesn't save? [19:47] Somelauw: yeah, or as dryicebomb said "startup applications" (I have ubuntu in spanish) [19:47] Somelauw: I just used gedit ~/.config/autostart.desktop and it worked [19:47] Myrtti: thx a lot for the link, I did not know that a difference exists ! [19:48] BlouBlou: Okay, I'll try that. I assume it automatically creates a desktop file. [19:48] Somelauw: now to test if it will work by rebooting :P [19:48] bbs, gonna test out a autostart script [19:49] savage2005: if you want to remove them you can delete : [19:49] menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (recovery mode)" { ... } [19:49] and [19:49] menuentry "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sdd1)" --class windows --class os { ... } [19:49] but be very careful !!!!! [19:50] brb [19:50] is it no longer possible to select a custom script to open a movie file with? in nautilus´ menu I only get a list of the recommended applications [19:51] anybody know of a 'on shutdown' script that runs in ubuntu? [19:51] Okay, I'll try [19:52] Diranged you can schedule a shutdown with cron [19:52] Okay, it works almost. I just need to disable something. [19:52] Because my wallpaper changes twice now [19:53] Diranged: if you only want it to run once at a certain time you can just use the 'at' command [19:53] no, i want it to run when i shut thebox down [19:54] oh i see [19:54] Does anyone know how I can hide the network-manager icon in 11.10? [19:55] u need to put your script in /etc/rc6.d Diranged [19:55] Wait, can I disable wallpaper in gnome. The problem is that my script changes wallpaper, but the gnome wallpaper is set after my script ran, so can I prevent gnome from setting my wallpaper? [19:55] and make it executable using chmod + x [19:55] ok.. thats fine [19:55] easy enough [19:55] the name of your script I think needs to begin with K99 to run at the right time [19:55] the scripts are ran in alphabetical order in that folder [19:56] i havent dont this in a long time but i think the method is the same [19:57] mustafaerhann: didn't work... [19:58] ubunos, i think i might be explaining this wrong, when i boot up after the bios clears i get a screen to choose from 4 OS's that used to be 2 after i reinstalled both OS's the list gave me 4 my 2nd win doesnt work and both ubuntu options load my new install [19:58] anyone know how i can set defauly file permissions in unix...its default to 666 right now [19:58] ubuntos,* [19:58] i need to change it [19:59] hexacode: 644, I think [19:59] Somelauw: yes but where can i change it [19:59] or see where its set [19:59] Somelauw: Mine didn't work, you try yours yet? [19:59] hexacode: "umask" controls this [20:00] danileigh79: It works, it's just that gnome tries to set my wallpaper as well and gnome is winning. [20:00] hey again, anyone got any idea what might be wrong when you try to gnome-shell --replace and you get the error that OpenGL version could not be determined? [20:00] danileigh79: Did you make a .desktop file or use the guitool? [20:00] savage2005: does it work ? [20:00] does what work [20:00] hexacode and llutz: isnt that controlled in /etc/profile [20:01] hexacode: chmod 644 filename [20:01] Somelauw: how did you build the script? I'm trying to run "modprobe b43" to automatically enable my wifi when I start my laptop [20:01] Or use properties [20:01] or is that in ~/.bashrc [20:01] removing the 2 menu from grub.cfg [20:01] danileigh79: It's just bash and it is set to exectuble [20:01] Somelauw, i think he wants to chang ethe DEFAULT permissions [20:01] on all files [20:01] i didnt do it, little nervous im doing the wrong thing [20:01] Somelauw: I wonder if it didn't work because it requires sudo... [20:02] danileigh79: Maybe you can put gksudo in the script itself. [20:02] hexacode are you trying to change the default permissions on all files created by a user? [20:02] savage2005: try to install burg : [20:02] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/beautiful-burg-boot-loader-gets-ubuntu-11-04-ppa/ [20:03] Somelauw: Dunno, will play around with it a bit more in a while [20:04] trever420 boss wants ftp to default to 775 on file upload....however, the umask section of vsftpd seems to subtract from the default which is 666 it seems. i basically need 775 on file upload through ftp but i need to change the default system i think. [20:04] anyone got any idea why im getting OpenGL version could not be determined when doing a gnome-shell --replace? [20:04] u have a user account that gets used for FTP uploads hexacode? [20:05] a i think a normal user account's defualt directory permissions are 775 abd tge default file permissions might be 664 [20:06] err.... abd/*nd/and tge/*he/the [20:06] ubuntos, how do i check to see where my MBR is located (what hard drive) [20:07] savage2005: First 512MB iirc. [20:07] hexacode: also what FTP server package are you using? proftpd? [20:07] savage2005: Oh which hard drive, derp. [20:07] trever420: glxinfo [20:07] of the first hard drive [20:07] trever420: "umask" tells you. usually it is 0022, so dirs 755, files 644 [20:08] mlc: what? [20:08] lasers: ? [20:08] trever420: sry^^ wrong copy and past [20:08] Natherul: glxino [20:09] Natherul: glxinfo [20:09] llutz: isnt that only for the root user [20:09] trever420: no [20:09] savage2005: I don't know. [20:09] :0 [20:09] i am working on memory here but i thought that Normal users have the default umask of 002 (which is 775 for dirs and 664 for files) [20:10] oh [20:10] mlc: its pamming me with Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on displau ":0". [20:10] while root has the umask of 022 [20:10] Natherul: ok.. hmmm [20:10] trever420: why don't you check it? [20:11] I'm having troubles to find command to minimize all normal windows. I'm asking because i'll have to re-create one. [20:11] k... give me a sec gotta boot my vmware guest [20:11] or better yet... google :-) [20:11] mlc: any idea what might be the issue? [20:11] savage2005: you are looking in the wrong way : you do not need this technical infos [20:11] wow... ok google i think worked... http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html [20:12] The default umask 002 used for normal user. With this mask default directory permissions are 775 and default file permissions are 664. [20:12] i need to know to know what drive to install burg on [20:12] The default umask for the root user is 022 result into default directory permissions are 755 and default file permissions are 644. [20:12] it is /dev/sda ;) [20:12] Natherul: perhaps a missing package [20:13] Natherul: can you open synaptic? [20:13] I'm having troubles to find command to minimize all normal windows. I'm asking because i'll have to re-create shorcut for that [20:13] sure [20:13] savage2005: sudo burg-install "(hd0)" [20:13] mlc: what do you want me to check in synaptic? [20:14] ubuntos, oh hey i was just typing all that out in a question [20:14] do i need the "" and ()? [20:14] [20:14] Natherul: glx === Alder is now known as Alderlane [20:15] Natherul: is there any with mesa [20:15] savage2005: sory try this : sudo burg-install /dev/sda [20:15] ubuntos, shouldnt there be an apt-get in there? [20:15] mlc: a few [20:16] Natherul: libgl1-mesa-glx [20:16] ubuntos, it says command not found [20:16] Natherul: libgl1-mesa-dri [20:16] mlc: yeah, its installed [20:16] hexacode: at any rate llutz might be right but the idea is the same... if you have an FTP group which i assume you do then you can set the permissions just for that group [20:16] or you can set it for one user if you only have one user who uses FTP [20:17] Natherul: libgl1-mesa-dri installed too? [20:17] mlc: both are installed [20:17] Natherul: ok [20:17] but i think it's better to set it based on the group that way if you hav more users as long as they are part of the group it should work [20:17] just make sure the group has group ownership over the upload directory [20:18] savage2005: ok I have found an easier tutorial [20:18] haha ok [20:18] www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-burg-in-ubuntu [20:18] Natherul: graphic card is from nvidia or ati?

The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails [20:33] the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect.

[20:43] fdisk [20:44] tumppu, yes, but i'm sure he doesnt know how to use that properly otherwise he wouldnt be asking... for a beginner gparted is ALOT easier [20:44] kaiowas, i did and it actually screwed up i cant explain why [20:44] How would I do to test the sequential read speed of a ramdisk mounted on /run/shm/ ? [20:44] i was thinking using bootcamp.. but from what i understand its no good. [20:44] i ended up just using Ubuntu's gparted utility of the live CD [20:44] trever420 i do egraa [20:44] TehAndrewRyan: just use `dd [20:44] kaiowas, thats what i did and didnt work correctly [20:45] gparted is REALLY super easy [20:45] just as easy as OS X's utility if not easier [20:45] it's a GUI [20:45] just click and drag [20:45] module000: Care to explain it further? I don't wanna break anything, as I'm not really an expert with terminal commands :P [20:45] the worst thing in ubuntu live-cd is that it doesn't install gparted for default [20:45] so I've managed to convince my boss to let us delete RHEL off of our comptuers and install Ubuntu instead:D [20:45] just need to work out the kinks:/ [20:45] llutz, It do I must will be each time at included in a cantilever to enter this command? [20:45] i think it comes on the ubuntu live CD [20:45] you can have gparted if you run the live cd [20:46] TehAndrewRyan: `dd` writes data, so `dd if=/dev/zero of=/run/shm/myfile bs=1M count=1000` would create a 1000MB file [20:46] but, whats better with gparted? They dont solve my problem the same way? [20:46] qw-Russian: aeh, what? [20:46] TehAndrewRyan: that will tell you the write speed. then you acn test the read speed with `dd if=/run/shm/myfile of=/dev/null bs=1M` [20:46] sudo -i [20:46] i think gparted is capable of doing more [20:46] TehAndrewRyan: in a nutshell, you are writing a 1gb file of 0's and timing it. then you are reading that file and timing it [20:47] Hi all... Having a problem with my Acer Aspire NetBook... Been running Natty Narwhal on it for some time now, but started the install with the 'NetBook' version. Problem: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder" -- as reported by cfdisk on attempt to run utility to view partitions, also 'fsck' will not run without chance of FUBAR'ing the whole disk - as the '/dev/sda1' device is mounted. Any [20:47] way to save this ? [20:47] gparted is alot more capable than OS Xs disk utility [20:47] Well i can try, do i boot up the live cd and write gparted in the terminal? [20:47] but for the simple thing he needs he doesnt need to know all of it's feautres [20:47] so we have a /home NFS mount and on start up it does not automatically mount, you have to log in as root first and then it mounts (You don't have to do anything after logging in and it just mounts). Any idea as to why? [20:47] kaiowas, which version of ubuntu are you using? [20:47] boot the "tes ubuntu without installing" [20:47] llutz, sudo -i [20:47] server or Desktop? [20:47] qw-Russian: pls rephrase your question === xx is now known as blablabla [20:47] mustafaerhann, ok, how do I make it so it will do a sudo command? [20:48] 11.10 amd64 mac [20:48] desktop [20:48] gparted is GUI-program, so you need graphical desktop environment to run it [20:48] amd64? [20:48] tumppu hence why i was asking [20:48] the iso said so.. [20:48] macs have novadays intel processors [20:48] why are you using the AMD64 on a mac [20:48] yeah but i was [20:48] it's an Intel [20:48] trever420: amd64 is intel too [20:48] recomended this iso in here, and downloaded it from ubuntus site. [20:49] its the 64bit "standard" [20:49] oh is it [20:49] trever420: thats just the name of the 64bit extensions, "invented" by AMD [20:49] ohh i see [20:49] sorry my fault [20:49] lol [20:49] trever420: i was thinking the same thing when i saw the name, but it also said mac so i guessed it was right. [20:50] well at any rate kaiowas when you boot up the live cd you can select to run it without installing [20:50] hello all, is this the channel to ask 4 help with ubuntu precise? [20:50] this will bring you to the Ubuntu desktop [20:50] afk for a moment to get a USB stick... brb [20:50] and i dont know exactly wherre in the new version Gparted is but it's on there [20:50] trever420: same thing as you can use i396 on AMD too. just stupid names [20:50] Im actually running ubuntu now in Parallels.. maybe i can do it from here? [20:50] you can search it on the dash [20:50] i dont have the desktop version myself... i have the server version [20:51] that comes visible when clicked top left corner [20:51] oh ok it has a search function in the desktop version [20:51] bik-family: #ubuntu+1 [20:51] llutz, I talked about a transition between account and when I am included in a cantilever I not root and after the command of sudo I I am root Question: will I now constantly have to enter this command to be root? [20:51] * Alderlane is back [20:51] yea just like OS X's spotlight feature [20:51] qw-Russian: yes [20:51] just type in gparted in the search and it should show up [20:51] then when u run it it'll find your internal drive [20:51] i like more gnome3 way to do it than unity's [20:51] okey, thank you [20:51] qw-Russian: theres usually no need to be constantly root. [20:51] Hi [20:51] thnx [20:51] i havent used a linux GUI in soooo long [20:51] :D [20:52] How do i set up an auto start command to execute as sudo? [20:52] nope, i doesn't find it. [20:52] links and terminal :P [20:52] danileigh79_2: add it to /etc/rc.local [20:52] kaiowas try alt+f2 and then write gparted [20:52] or in terminal sudo gparted [20:52] somebody know somethen about crystal reports? [20:53] llutz: The file is currently set as ~/.config/autostart.desktop, do I just drag, drop to the folder you stated? === beboj_ is now known as beboj [20:53] sudo: gparted: command not found [20:53] danileigh79: ah a gui thing, that won't work from rc.local. [20:53] apt-get gparted maybe? [20:53] i just looked it may not come on the CD it seems [20:53] apt-get install gparted [20:53] kaiowas: sudo apt-get install gparted [20:53] but i could've sworn it did at one point [20:53] afw, going to try wiping my USB thumb so I can create a rescue drive for the netbook.. brb [20:53] Sorry. I forgot my password and cant log into ubuntu! any help?? [20:54] Hello I've just installed vsftpd but when I try to run it with `sudo service vsftpd start` I get: `vsftpd stop/pre-start, process 5958` but no process is running.. [20:54] ariel88 yes i can help [20:54] trever420 thanks! [20:54] its installing now [20:54] Ariel88 u'll need to boot into single user mode to get it changed [20:54] llutz: what exactly I'm trying to do is have the computer execute "sudo modprobe b43" during start up so I can quit typing it in terminal to activate my wi-fi adapter [20:54] this will drop you to a root console [20:54] module000: And this gives me the sequential speeds of it? [20:54] aha, and then?? [20:54] are you on a different computer from the one u need to change the password on Ariel88 ? [20:55] when I execute it in standalone mode it works perfect [20:55] TehAndrewRyan: yep, itw ill tell you bytes-per-sec for both of those operations [20:55] i'll walk you through the steps [20:55] no, its this pc, another partition [20:55] eek... you should try to get at me from a different machine :-( [20:55] Hi there... I was led here from the Ubuntu.com website... I am in dire need of some help if possible...? [20:55] u need to boot in single user mode to make it work [20:55] ok, ill search the web about single user mode [20:55] thanks for the tip!! [20:56] it looks like parallels wont let me find my harddrive, it just shows the image file for it.. [20:56] Ariel88, http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub [20:56] thanks a lot [20:56] the difference is that when you run 'passwd' [20:56] you need to type the username after [20:56] anyone know how to fix when im adding drivers to my nvidia card then im not allowed to run gnome-shell as then OpenGL version can not be determined? it works without prop drivers but then the comp is slower -.- [20:56] so for example "passwd " [20:57] kaiowas, did gparted install? [20:57] and why is that important? [20:57] Ariel88 so it knows which user you are changing the password for [20:57] lol [20:57] i see, thanks!! [20:57] trever420: yes, but it only shows 60 gb of my harddrive that is on 320... So I think Parallels is hiding my drive and just shows an image. [20:58] otherwise it'll just change the root password which this channel doesnt support logging on as root Ariel88 so i cant help you with that without ppl freaking out on me [20:58] any ideas? [20:58] but just make sure you type passwd when you get to that step [20:59] hmmm i dunno how parrell could be hiding it but i guess it could be possible [20:59] hi, how can I copy my parittion from one device to another? [20:59] kriestof, another reason to use gparted :-) [20:59] quick question. how do i find out what version of the drivers are contained in the "nvidia-current" package? [20:59] kriestof: the exact image? with the same size? [21:00] does the gparted find 1 or more disks? [21:00] yes [21:00] it can shows the disk on the upper right hand side [21:00] I am an absolute Ubuntu novice, and I needed to try and retrieve some files from a dodgy hard drive & was told that I could install Ubuntu and backp the files from there... So I installed Ubuntu on my Windows 7 64bit machine, and now I cannot boot Windows anymore, it comes up with the error "error: no such device: aa47e41b-f58f-4009-a05f-9ff32db85c8c. grub rescue>" - This is as far as I can [21:00] get!! I really am scared, I neeeeed to get back into Windows! Please, I beg you, can someone help me??? [21:00] you select the drop down [21:01] piehands do you care if you can still boot ubuntu? [21:01] iceroot: No, it's my home paritition and I want to move it to completely other one(in size and fs). [21:01] No, I don't care about Ubnutu, I just need Windows back [21:01] piehands open nautilus (the file manager) [21:01] do u have access to a Windows 7 CD? [21:01] piehands: if your disk is dying you won't get it back with ubuntu, you'll need a professional data recovery service [21:01] u can rewrite the bootloader and get rid of grub [21:02] Nautilus, is that on the Ubntu disk? [21:02] also if ur disk is dead like ikonia said then u could be screwed [21:02] tumppu: one disc, wich is what i have.. [21:02] trevor420 - how can I rewrite the bootlaoder? I don't have a windows 7 disk to hand... [21:02] piehands... can u access the hard drive from the Ubuntu Live CD? [21:03] piehands, do you get to the grub screen itself? [21:03] The disk I was trying to get fiels from was an external, so that don't matter.. It's the main C drive & windows I need back [21:03] kaiowas ok [21:03] this will tell us if the HD is actually working [21:03] or does the entire boot partition fail? [21:03] it shows used 5.54gb and Unused 57.71gb.. and its 320gb. So thats why i figure it must be Parallels that is blocking it. [21:03] anyone know how to fix when im adding drivers to my nvidia card then im not allowed to run gnome-shell as then OpenGL version can not be determined? it works without prop drivers but then the comp is slower -.- [21:04] Natherul: where are you getting drivers from ? [21:04] I'm rebooting from the ubntu livecd, one moment... I am quite sure i can get to the c drive from there [21:04] trevor420: ill try this. Thanks again! [21:04] ikonia: the additional drivers in ubuntu´s system settings [21:04] Natherul: that's great, thats the right place to get them [21:04] Hello to everyone [21:05] iceroot: Will using just cp will be a good idea? [21:05] ikonia: indeed but it still fekks up the OpenGL so icant run gnome-shell [21:05] Natherul: tone down the language please [21:05] Natherul: what video card do you have ? [21:05] piehands: might not help you now, but i have a bad external harddrive that i cant acces from OSX.. In Ubuntu i can access it and copy everything. So goodluck with your external. [21:06] ikonia: I meant no disrespect, that why I did not use the right word, and its an Nvidia mobile GT525 [21:07] Ariel88: np [21:07] let me know if u need assistance [21:07] oh he's gone [21:07] lol [21:07] Right, im gonna try disk utility now.. [21:07] Natherul: do you have the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:07] anybody have any experience with NFS mounts? [21:08] kaiowas, what happened with gpared? [21:08] Would a local MySQL database improve performance significantly compared to one running off of a website? [21:08] How do I remove the 'write protection' on a USB Thumb Drive ? There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' and "there can be only one".. :) [21:08] shade34321: yes, just ask your questio [21:08] shade34321: yes, just ask your question [21:08] TehAndrewRyan: what ? [21:08] i was using ufw, but when i try to start it says : error problem running ufw-init, when i try running ufw-init i get: Skip starting firewall: ufw (not enabled). What should i do? [21:08] trever420: doesnt find my harddrive [21:08] :-\ really? [21:08] ikonia, We have an ubuntu machine and it doesn't automatically mount the nfs start up [21:08] that is strange [21:08] shade34321: is it in the fstab ? or an automount map [21:08] we have to login as root first, though we don't have to do anything, for it to mount for all users [21:09] ikonia, yes it's in the fstab, and should be in the automount map but I can't guarantee it [21:09] trever420: I think its Parallels thats blocking it. Im gonna try to edit some settings. [21:09] I will try and check it [21:09] ikonia: I happen to be running a dedicated server computer for a Minecraft server, which stores information for rollbacks on a database running on our website. Whenever we try to rollback though, the whole server just freezes and then crashes, and I don't think it's the computer itself which is lacking performance to do the task, since we can do way heavier stuff without crashing it [21:09] shade34321: why would you have it as an automount map if it's in the fstab, that makes no sense [21:10] TehAndrewRyan, Yes it will be faster access a DB local to the machine the across a network [21:10] TehAndrewRyan: what version of ubuntu are you using on the server ? === carlos is now known as Guest23182 [21:10] ikonia: yes i do have that file, sorry for the delay of response :P [21:10] ikonia, you asked. I've never heard of the automount map before so I just googled it. If it's not necessary if it's in the fstab then that would not be the issue [21:11] Question: in 11.10, when I use xmonad, many GNOME applications seem to be missing many of their icons, particularly the stock ones. They look fine when run from Unity. Any ideas what might be wrong? [21:11] trever420: It IS Parallels thats blocking it. It only wants to show me the Ubuntu image file im using as my virtual system. [21:11] Natherul: no problem, in that file is there a line that says, driver "nvidia" [21:11] ikonia: 11.10 Desktop Edition (with all GUI stuff uninstalled, I installed it before I learned how to manage a computer via SSH) [21:11] hmm stupid parrallels.. i've neve rused parrallels [21:11] shade34321: ok so when I ask if it's an automount map, the correct response is "I don't know", not "yes it is" [21:11] ikonia: nope, and the file is very small :P [21:11] TehAndrewRyan: thats fine, [21:11] i thought parallels just made a virtual drive not a real drive [21:11] I need to FORCE a LLF on a USB Thumb drive that is write protected. Is there a shortvut to accomplish this ?? [21:11] TehAndrewRyan: so, the mysql database is run on this machine ? [21:11] shortcut [21:12] trever420: it is a virtual drive, but it only shows the virtual to gparted. [21:12] Natherul: ok - so that's the issue, that's why the nvidia module is not being loaded, and you have no 3d performance [21:12] ikonia, ok [21:12] Natherul: or at least, thats the start of the issue [21:12] ikonia: ok, how do i fix this? ^^ [21:12] shade34321: so can you paste the fstab in a pastebin please. [21:12] Natherul: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:12] Does anyone know how to disable gnome from setting background [21:12] hello im trying to mount and external 2 drive device which i formatted on slackware 13.37 [21:13] when I mount it says the filesystem type is not recognized [21:13] should i format the new partition somehow, or just as freespace? [21:13] MaynardW1ters: what file system is on them [21:13] i am usign ext3 and it shows up correctly in the disk utility [21:13] MaynardW1ters: what mount command are you using (exactly) [21:13] gnome-control-center is one of the worst. It prints many "WARNING **: Could not find icon" messages and half the icons on in the main window are missing completely [21:13] Hello guys, what is the package name for the user management program in Ubuntu? [21:13] Hi all... Having a problem with my Acer Aspire NetBook... Been running Natty Narwhal on it for some time now, but started the install with the 'NetBook' version. Problem: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder" -- as reported by cfdisk on attempt to run utility to view partitions, also 'fsck' will not run without chance of FUBAR'ing the whole disk - as the '/dev/sda1' device is mounted. Any [21:13] way to save this ? [21:13] ikonia: paste.ubuntu.com/843545/ [21:13] mount -t ext3 /dev/sdh1 /media/mountpoint [21:13] ikonia: No, the DB is running on our web host, as our admin was setting up the database for the website, we decided to use the same) [21:14] TehAndrewRyan: ok, so running jobs local to the mysql server will improve performance, especially if there is interaction in the job [21:14] ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/843550/ [21:14] If I can get this 'write protection' off the Thumb drive, I'll try creating a rescue 'disk'. [21:14] ikonia, line 17 is the nfs mount [21:15] I'm trying to install from cd and I choose IDE CD-ROM at the menu, but it boots up the installed OS anyway. How to fix this? [21:15] Natherul: make the file look like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/843554/ [21:16] shade34321: ok - so that should get mounted at boot time as long as the server responds within 14 seconds, [21:16] pourquoi je n'arrive plus à me connecter ? [21:16] shade34321: what makes you think it's not getting mounted (this may seem a silly question - I assure you it's not) [21:16] ikonia, no I understand [21:16] fixed it -- my machine was missing gnome-icon-theme-full [21:16] trever420: should i format the new partition somehow, or just as freespace? [21:17] ikonia, when users log in, say asmith for instance, he can't access his home partition which is on the NFS mount. [21:17] which was apparently the default theme if you run a non-Unity environment [21:17] ummm... kaiowas i dont think it matters [21:17] ikonia, now if he logs in as root first then logs out he is able to [21:17] when u install ubuntu it'll format it for you [21:17] y a-t-il quelqu'un qui comprend le français svp ? [21:17] or should === Gskellig is now known as Gskellig|away [21:17] shade34321: ok, my first issue is, how can a user login as root, the ubuntu root password is locked [21:17] prob to EXT4 since OS X cant format to EXT4 i wouldnt bother doing anything [21:17] trever420: ill format it in fat32 just incase, atleast i can see wich one is correct by looking at the format :). [21:17] just leave it free [21:18] yea [21:18] ikonia, we have it unlocked in our lab, he didn't like RHEL so he wiped his computer and installed ubuntu [21:18] in ubuntu itäs not possible to login as root [21:18] You can change the root password to anything you want by typing "sudo passwd" [21:18] !fr | toutouille [21:18] toutouille: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

I tested it, and it spoke the name of each speaker, so it works. But it wont make any system beeps, or play audio from videos or mp3s. Anyone have a fix? [21:19] shade34321: what I'd like to test (when possible) is a reboot of the machine - log in directly as root and run "mount -a" do you get the error "/home is already mounted" [21:19] Right, im off to install.. Thanks for your help everyone. [21:19] rsainz: sudo -i is "the preferred way" [21:19] i want to create a botbale usb stick, but everytime i try to partition the stick or do just anything to it is says permission denied [21:19] shade34321: or just do a "mount" and see if home is already mounted === Sebastien- is now known as Sebastien [21:19] would df just work?

There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' and "there can be only one".. :) [21:20] !fr > toutouille [21:20] toutouille, please see my private message [21:20] toutouille: try #ubuntu-fr [21:20] ikonia, it doesn't matter to me. I didn't know it triggered an automount. [21:21] ah merci, justement je ne sais pas me connecter à internet [21:21] is posible, but the two methods work [21:21] shade34321: (it depends if/how you are using auto mapper, I suspect you are not using it at all, however as we don't know at this stage, I'm just using something I know won't trigger it) [21:22] ikonia, and if it's not mounted do you have any other suggestions? I probably won't be able to test this out today and possible for a week...their computers run 24/7 for simulations [21:22] je ne sais déjà pas comment j'ai fait pour arriver ici d'ailleurs ! [21:22] je dois configurer quelque chose mais quoi ? [21:23] and what does this ,ean? [21:23] Device partition expected, not making filesystem on entire device '/dev/sdb' (use -I to override) [21:23] shade34321: if it's not mounted, there are many things that can be the problem, eg: something locking /home as it's "in use" would be a common reason (hence the reboot test) or the nfs server not responding within 14 seconds [21:24] ikonia: that just made me (after a reboot) get stuck in a black screen and its stuck on checking battery state [21:24] !paste [21:24] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[21:29] i no understand no english i [21:29] toutouille: what language ? [21:29] francais [21:29] ikonia: im such a nab here, whats the command or whatnot to exit and save file in sudoedit? i usually use gedit [21:29] !fr | toutouille [21:29] toutouille: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [21:30] Natherul use vi editor, :wq to save and exit [21:30] Let's try THIS one... [21:30] Natherul: you need to launch the editor with root permissions, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:30] merci d'avoir répondu, je vais essayer. Tanks you [21:31] ikonia: well in recovery mode so gedit is out of the question atm [21:31] Natherul: start it by doing: EDITOR=nano sudoedit [21:31] Then it should use nano [21:31] Natherul: you are already root in recovery mode, you should just be able to use nano on the file [21:31] Which shows commands at the bottum [21:31] Natherul: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:31] How do I remove the 'write protection' on a USB Thumb Drive ? There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' on the one physical device. I believe it is -ro because it was created under winXP which I have since DELETED! [21:32] Do I just jump in to ask a question? [21:32] how do I get an autostart.desktop bash file to run as sudo without moving it to /rc.? [21:32] If I can get this 'write protection' off the Thumb drive, I'll try creating a rescue 'disk'. [21:32] marcus_: yes [21:32] how do I get an autostart.desktop bash file to run as sudo without moving it to /etc/rc.local [21:33] AlderLane, I'm not sure if this will help but have you tried using gparted with it to reformat it? [21:33] or is there stuff on it you want? [21:33] I just did the "pushed" update and now my mouse pointer is all screwed up. Tried logging out, tried restarting, tried total shut down and reboot and nothing fixes it. [21:34] I "think" I am running Unity as that's what's "out of the box" for 11.10 [21:34] ikonia: well im in again on the regular ubuntu, i guess I wont be able to get gnome-shell currently then? unless i fully ignore the prop drivers? [21:34] danileigh79, what does the script do? [21:35] Shade34321: not installed on this Slack Box.. The problem is on my Ubuntu 'Book which I can not get access to until I have the rescue 'disk'. I will see if 'gparted' is available for the Slack (12.2) box. [21:35] danileigh79: how are you starting the script? through cron or through startup applications? [21:35] Can anyone tell me why this ppa doesn't work https://launchpad.net/~maglione-k/+archive/ppa [21:35] What is the name of package that contain ubuntu wifi drivers? [21:35] Natherul: well, some more research will be needed to find out the minimum nvidia module version that supports your card [21:35] AlderLane, Ok. [21:35] Somelauw: contact the PPA owner [21:35] brb [21:35] ablyss: #!/bin/bash sudo modprobe b43 [21:35] It says W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/maglione-k/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [21:36] dryicebomb: #!/bin/bash sudo modprobe b43 [21:36] Somelauw: the PPA maintainer can help you [21:36] ikonia: well now your way out of what I know what to do :P [21:36] ...I have an issue where p7zip is scanning and attempting to archive stuff that I try opening...this was happening before under gnome, disturbingly I thought it'd gone away, switched to kde recently, and it came back. Where would I look (besides /etc/initrc) for configuration files that would, for instance, attempt to open p7zip whenever I inserted and mounted a usb drive? [21:37] ablyss: trying to make my wi-fi adapter activate automatically when I boot into ubuntu instead of typing it into terminal everytime I boot the machine [21:37] ikonia: Are you this is the fault of the ppa owner? Contacting him does take some time and maybe he won't answer. [21:37] Natherul: I've not got a ton of time at the moment, but if you look on nvidia.com (look - don't download and install) at the linux drivers they will tell you which cards are supported in the versions [21:37] At the moment p7zip is purged from the system, so I get nice little notifications every time I try and mount a drive in kde telling me it can't find it. [21:37] Somelauw: that is the risk of using a PPA [21:38] Anyone have a clue? [21:38] I read about the instructions here: https://launchpad.net/~maglione-k/+archive/ppa === Mike_ is now known as Guest45719 [21:38] Somelauw: contact the PPA owner and ask him for help [21:38] This is the same silence I got on "ask ubuntu" earlier. === Guest45719 is now known as Mike__ [21:39] please, help. i need to re-create minimize all normal windows keyboard shortcut. what is the command to do so? [21:40] danileigh79: you can try adding your script to roots crontab, sudo crontab -e , then put "@reboot /home/user/script.sh" also, make sure your script is executable [21:40] i will have to make it custom because the one i have in shortcuts/navigation isn't working.

[21:41] ikonia: donno what the lowest version for the card is but i know that when looking for drivers on their webpage for linux x64 it wants me to get the 295.20 drivers [21:42] dryicebomb: currently the file is designated as ~/.config/autostart.desktop How do I move it? [21:42] how about wine tricks? [21:42] Natherul: ok, so you know they are supported in that version, what is the version in ubuntu ? [21:42] I'll do a hg checkout.

[21:43] <_Marcus> none: What do you mean "wine tricks"? [21:43] all I did was install the "important security updates" and now the pointer is all screwed up. [21:43] Somelauw: one is the dependencies, one is the application [21:43] to use LOIC dont you need winetricks? [21:43] ikonia: how do i check that? i in the additional drivers thingie they dont tell the numers of the drivers right out do they? [21:43] ikonia: thanks [21:43] noverta: Hmm, I'll try that. Thanks for the tip! [21:43] Natherul: it should do, dpkg -l | grep nvidia will [21:44] <_Marcus> none: Is it an exe? [21:44] noverta: Though I doubt another package did it, I'm not 100% sure it's p7zip's fault...it is (supposedly) a fairly reputable package. [21:44] i have no clue [21:44] is what loic? [21:44] <_Marcus> none: I think it's loic.exe, so you just need Wine [21:44] kool beans thanks Marcus [21:46] come on guys....somebody's got to know something to help me [21:46] <_Marcus> marcus_: What's the problem you are having?

[21:47] ubuntu 11.10 the cardboard box looking button [21:47] ikonia: the alias works for scp and ssh without piping, via the config file [21:47] marcus_, were you talking to yourself there? or is there seriously someone else called _Marcus lol [21:47] elijah: put it in the host file [21:47] danileigh79: have you tried just adding b43 to /etc/modules?

[21:54] yep. everything else is normal [21:54] is there a command to delete chunks of text and/or navigate? You know like holding down ctrl + left arrow will jump words [21:54] marcus_, can you post a screenshot? [21:54] how do you set power settings in ubuntu 11.10 (unity)? [21:54] AlderLane, sorry wasn't paying attention, that's weird [21:55] I can not even set cpu frequency [21:55] post where? [21:55] i hit bug 488696 (automount complains of syntax error in nnswitch), which sounds like it should be fixed / fixable, but it apparently is not. anyone know how to workaround this [21:55] Launchpad bug 488696 in autofs5 (Debian) "syntax error in nsswitch config near [ syntax error ]" [Unknown,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/488696 [21:55] AlderLane, if it was formatted with WinXP last then it should be FAT 32, I think, which GParted can see and read [21:55] How do I auto-hide the top and bottom bars (non-unity?) in Ubuntu 11.10? [21:55] ikonia: I just add -v to my command and it is getting as far as accepting my public key, I did at the ip to the hosts file and got same errors btw [21:55] why is anything just more complicated since unity -.- [21:55] AlderLane, what does fdisk -l show?

[21:56] marcus_, i have to go for a bit [21:56] now it just got really weird...the mouse like normal in the screenshot...

Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [21:57] Shade34321: I believe i may have password protected the thumb under Xp, so I may be dealing with that as a prob as well. That is why I was hopeing to just do a LLF on the 'device' and be done with it.. hang on.. I'll run cfdisk again and let you know [21:57] marcus_: are you trying to use custom cursors? [21:57] no [21:57] just regular..... [21:57] ikonia: here is my command with -v - http://paste.ubuntu.com/843633/ [21:57] Hmm is it possible to downgrade from 11.10 to whatever I had previously? I've really had problems with unity and compiz, and I'm trying to get these top and bottom bars to auto hide. :\ [21:58] !downgrade | unixbeard [21:58] unixbeard: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [21:58] remove unity and install gnome2/gnome-shell? [21:58] elijah: try cat in the ssh command or something, otherwise it seems like you are trying to execute the .wav [21:58] !gnome2 | tumppu [21:58] tumppu: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. [21:58] elijah: did you put the alias in the host file [21:59] elijah: why are you using ssh to move a file [21:59] trism: I just want to pipe it to my local machine so I can play it back, ikonia: yes, I did [21:59] elijah: yes but ssh isn't going to do that just giving it the file [21:59] What's an alternative? [21:59] !notunity [21:59] 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 [21:59] I did try to follow some instructions about compiz, but that didn't help [21:59] elijah: ssh sc cat /path/to/file [21:59] oic [21:59] unixbeard: xfce is my favourite [21:59] neat! [21:59] Shade34321: 'cfdisk' would not access, but 'fdisk' is reading it.. going to see if I can delete parts. [22:00] I'm installing gnome-shell now. [22:00] AlderLane, sweet! [22:00] trism: K, it is getting farther now. But now the command just finishes by opening sox and then finishing with no errors [22:01] why would it look one way on the screen and normal on the screenshot? [22:01] trism: nvm === _Marcus is now known as _John [22:01] trism, ikonia it is play - [22:01] Hmm, so I have gnome-shell, gnome-tweak-tool, and gnome-panel installed. Do I just reboot and hope for the best? I did apt-get remove unity... [22:01] Hey, I'm having a problem with my partition numbering [22:01] I have 1 disk. That disk has 1 partition. But that partition mounts to /dev/sda2 [22:01] instead of /dev/sda1 [22:01] i think you don't need gnome-panel [22:01] trism, ikonia - it is working now!! It works without the host file mod too! === olaf is now known as Guest45251 [22:02] I did try adding gnome-tweak-tool, but I never could figure out how to run it. [22:02] How do you change the number of a partition table? [22:02] unixbeard and you have'n't to reboot [22:02] I haven't rebooted yet. [22:02] Do I just log out and log back in? [22:02] log off and then while loggin choose gnome as window manager instead of unity [22:02] trism & ikonia: Do you think it is possible to play the file on my local computer while logged into the ssh session remotely? Would be much easier than copying the path and doing all that. [22:02] Okay. BRB! [22:03] sfdisk -d says that there are 4 partitions on the table [22:03] 3 with size=0, but 1 with all the data on it [22:03] how do i setup the VPN [22:03] ? [22:03] how do I change the partition table so that there's only 1 [22:04] RedXIII: backup the data and repartition, or live with it [22:04] Shade34321: 'fdisk' reports "Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)" when opening /dev/sr3 (yes.. it is NOW /sr3) [22:04] hello all, I am having some technical problems with my aircrack prog [22:04] <_John> none: What do you mean exactly? [22:04] klync: but ubuntu thinks that it is /dev/sda1 when mounting [22:04] Shade34321: going to try and repair/delete the part [22:04] but other tools say its /dev/sda2 [22:04] (on the table) [22:04] asking again.....My mouse pointer is showing as a rainbox square, but when I take a screen shot, it looks normal in the picture. [22:04] doesn't that cause issues or incompatibilities? [22:04] RedXIII, You could always play around with gparted after backuping up your data of course. [22:04] theres a option to configure the vpn [22:05] <_John> marcus_: What is a "rainbox sqaure"? [22:05] RedXIII: have you altered the partition table since last reboot? [22:05] <_John> marcus_: Is that a rainbow? [22:05] a square that is rainbow colors [22:05] <_John> marcus_: Can you take a screenshot and upload it somewhere for us to see? [22:05] klync: No [22:05] the screen shot looks normal [22:05] how do i view the loaded drivers [22:05] RedXIII: then can you pastebin the output of `sfdisk -l`? [22:06] BrandonBolton: gparted doesn't even want to look at it. It says the data partition is sda2, but its really sda1 [22:06] AlderLane, ok. Unfortunately I have to get ready to go. I will be in and out from the computer as I get ready. So I will respond when I see a message from you hopefully somebody else will be able to help you [22:06] so it fails all calls for renaming/moving/resizing [22:06] Shade34321: write of table to repair the above, failed.. "Unable to write /dev/sr3" [22:06] as soon as someone is free to help on the aircrack-ng utility, please let me know [22:06] how do i view the loaded drivers [22:06] Shade34321: OK.. Thanks for the ear... [22:06] RedXIII: ubuntu uses uuid by default so the dev name doesn't really matter to ubuntu [22:06] Shade34321: at least I got rid of the secondary partition... Only one to go :) Thanks [22:06] auronandace: Then why does gparted fail to recognize the partition? [22:07] <_John> marcus_: I forgot, it makes your cursor vanish when taking it. Do you have a camera or a camera phone to take a picture of your screen? [22:07] RedXIII: no idea === ixela is now known as hatop [22:07] _John: i'd like to see a picture of the camera [22:08] Alderlane: is this a sandisk thumb drive? [22:08] All: Here was my original question... "How do I remove the 'write protection' on a USB Thumb Drive ? There are two partitions '/dev/sr2' and '/dev/sdg' and "there can be only one".. :)" [22:08] RedXIII: i'm just saying if you were using device names rather than uuid then ubuntu wouldn't boot when the device names change [22:08] AlderLane, Woot! [22:08] DryIceBomb: it is a Memorex TravelDrive... [22:08] <_John> nopf: My interests in the looks of the camera shall remain private. [22:09] AlderLane: isn't sr an optical drive? [22:09] DryIceBomb: it was originally formatted with the data storage partition, and a seperate one for the 'launch' utility.. [22:10] Alderlane: is this 'launch' utility U3 by anychance? [22:10] Hi, wondering what permision I need to make a folder be able to be written too by apache? [22:10] auronandace: I believe so, but according to 'dmesg' nad the popup when inserted, that is the device it is being assigned [22:10] DryIceBomb: correct... [22:10] wmorri: that depends on the ownership of the folder [22:10] naim [22:10] hello [22:11] hatop: I will look up the folder permissions [22:11] Alderlane: bummer, the srX partition can only be removed from a windows machine with a u3 software removal program that you can get from sandisk and memorexs site [22:11] Is there a way to play an audio file to a local machine via an ssh session? [22:11] Can I pipe an audio file to my local machine while in a ssh session? [22:12] elijah: i suppose you could by doing xforwarding and then opening the program on the remote machine. [22:12] elijah: maybe if you use a fifo as a buffer [22:12] the permission for the folder are drwxr-xr-x [22:12] elijah: that would most likely just dump the raw data into a file. [22:12] DryIceBomb: alright... I'm going into town in several hours, I'll download that utility and see if I can find a Winbox in town to remove this thing. [22:12] help, I use ctrl+alt+f1, because of 'video mode not supported' how can I reset Xwindows from console ? will I see the change after ctrl+alt+f7? or do I have to reboot ubuntu? [22:12] hatop: K, do you know how to do it? [22:12] wmorri: you should use 775 as the ownership, BUT it also depends on the group that owns the folder [22:13] hatop: not off the top of my head, but you can google ssh xforwarding [22:13] alderlane: http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm [22:13] hatop, it is set to nobody nogroup, currently. This is a config folder for a php mumble admin util. [22:13] DryIceBomb: perhaps the partition still has the removel utility on it and it will access when inserted into a win box. Plus I'll get the app youi just noted.. Thanks.. [22:14] hatop: I can do it the opposite way, by "ssh user@host "cat /path/to/file/music.wav" | play -" but that is a pita if you are already in an ssh session [22:14] wmorri: what group is apache configured to run as in httpd.conf? [22:14] hold on...I'm getting it up on photobucket [22:14] <_John> marcus_: If you want it fast just do www.imgur.com [22:14] elijah: you could always just do key based auth so you don't have to enter a password [22:15] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/cmdrlanc/CameraPictures.jpg [22:15] <_John> marcus_: I've never seen this happen before. [22:15] hatop, let me look it up. [22:15] <_John> marcus_: What graphics card do you have? [22:15] hatop: Yeah, that is what I am doing, but I mean I still have to copy the absolute path of the file and then open a new terminal and make up that command === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler [22:15] raedon 2600 [22:15] DryIceBomb: all this just to deal with this (following) problem... [22:15] <_John> marcus_: Do you have the proper drivers for it installed on Ubuntu? [22:16] Having a problem with my Acer Aspire NetBook... Been running Natty Narwhal on it for some time now, but started the install with the 'NetBook' version. Natty wasx installed using the FULL disk space, so there is no way to boot into another partition to perform the disk fixes. Problem: "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder" -- as reported by cfdisk on attempt to run utility to view partitions, also [22:16] 'fsck' will not run without chance of FUBAR'ing the whole disk - as the '/dev/sda1' device is mounted. Any way to save this ? [22:16] elijah: you could always write a script for this and just feed the file name as an option [22:16] I did an hour ago before the "update" [22:16] hatop: it would be nice while in the ssh session to do "play music.wav | localmachine" or something like that [22:16] <_John> marcus_: Update of what? [22:16] <_John> marcus_: The drivers? [22:16] ubuntu pushed an "important security update" [22:16] elijag: you can make it that easy through clever use of shell scripts [22:16] err elijah [22:17] hatop: Okay, good to know, I will have to play with that someday, but I take it that there is no way to do this out of the box, right? [22:17] <_John> marcus_: Intresting. I wonder if there is a problem between the security updates and the drivers. Is there any new driver updates available? [22:17] I don't know. [22:17] elijah: not specifically, but all the tools for each part exist. [22:17] also [22:18] you could try using a vlc network player [22:19] hatop: Good idea, thanks [22:20] hatop, the permissions for apache2.conf are -rw-r--r-- [22:20] amd site says I have the latest driver [22:20] alderlane: yuck, i don't suppose you know someone who could borrow you a usb cd-drive [22:20] wmorri: not exactly what I was asking [22:21] <_John> marcus_: Is there any Ubuntu updates available? [22:21] wmorri: To determine if the apache process can access the folder you need to do two things [22:21] I just ran those an hour ago. [22:21] wmorri: 1. ensure that the user and group ownerships are correct for those assigned to the apache process [22:21] wmorri: 2. ensure that you have allowed group rwx access to the folder [22:21] <_John> marcus_: Go into terminal and type "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade" to update if there is anymore. Just do it to check. [22:22] hatop, okay I will work on that and see what I come up with. Thank You! [22:22] ok, did that, now what? [22:23] <_John> marcus_: Restart your system. See if the cursor is back to normal. [22:23] ok. [22:23] DryIceBomb: Actually I have a 500gb external USB here, but it is my "Archive" drive and I don't want to take a chance on damaging it and loosing access to all my archives... I would have to install a bootsector on it as it is now just a flat storage drive, and that makes me somewhat nervous.. [22:25] DryIceBomb: once I get the thumb drive straightened out, and get the rescue-boot process finished so I can access the Netbook, I'll be hooking up the 500gb drive to the Netbook and backing up everything, then wiping the NB drive and reinstalling a fresh NEW version of Ubuntu.. [22:26] _john : no it didn't fix it. [22:26] alderlane: thats probably the best route [22:26] Think I'll stay away from the NETBOOK version of Ubuntu THIS time.. [22:26] <_John> marcus: Well I have no idea. Sorry [22:26] I had nothing but problems with that... [22:27] * AlderLane is off to find an (Ugh!) Windows computer to remove the Thumb partition... IBBL [22:28] * _John >windows [22:28] Anyone else want to take a run at it? I ran the updates and now my cursor is all screwed up. [22:29] marcus: i don't know if you're using the compositing desktop or not [22:29] marcus: mostly since I came in late into the conversation === q0rban is now known as q-rban [22:29] I am using whatever desktop ships with 11.10 ubuntu...I think it's called unity? [22:29] have you tried using the unity 2d interface [22:31] I have not tried anything other than what 11.10 comes with [22:31] marcus: Try out the unity 2d interface and see if that fixes it. [22:31] how? [22:31] Logout out of your session and change the manager [22:31] how? [22:31] its an option during the login screen [22:31] not on mine [22:32] its there by default in ubuntu [22:32] marcus, its the gear icon [22:32] ok [22:32] thanks firebolt [22:32] np [22:32] i haven't had to switch in a long time [22:35] it's screwed up in all desktop options and even before I log in. [22:35] and you've rebooted at least once i take it [22:35] what videocard are you using [22:35] yes, 4 times now [22:35] Hi, I want to install to a usb device, plug it into my Mac and use it as the primary OS via usb. Is this possible? Do you have any suggestions or pitfalls? [22:35] raedon 2600 with latest driver [22:35] hmmmm [22:35] 12.1 driver? [22:35] yep [22:36] it was fine before I ran the "update" [22:36] can you revert to an older driver? [22:36] dunno....I guess I could if someone told me how [22:38] how do I revert a driver? [22:38] marcus: i'm busy googling for that answer [22:39] I see. :) [22:39] i only use nvidia products at the moment [22:39] nvidia is the one that hates mint isn't it? [22:39] i dunno [22:39] i don't use mint [22:40] marcus, do you still have the original driver you want to revert to? [22:40] I don't think so. I was using the default generic driver and it wasn't working right [22:41] I'm surprised the 12.1 was installed [22:41] the amd site doesn't even list it as the latest yet [22:41] http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English [22:41] why do you wan to revert to it if it wasn't working right? [22:41] ciao [22:41] can somebody help me with fixing fstab? [22:41] the freeware version is sometimes funky [22:42] if he was using the radeon xorg driver [22:42] however, the link provides a download with instructions for installing that version. it SHOULD uninstall the 12.1 drivers === Anonymous is now known as Guest8642 [22:42] hello, i noticed that the old nessus-plugins package has plugins not in the new openvas plugin. why? any way to get the additional plugins? [22:42] I have whatever the amd site shows [22:43] kostasz- in what way is your fstab broken? [22:43] I want to revert because my mouse pointer is all screwed up after an ubuntu update [22:43] cia [22:44] you said you had the 12.1 driver [22:44] i linked the 11.11 driver [22:44] I guess I was wrong. [22:45] 11.11 is what I have looking at that website === Z3Rt is now known as Z3Rt|away [22:46] marcus- installing the 12.1 driver on a 11.11 system might cause a problem or two [22:46] marcus: I'm not really sure, I would try reinstalling your driver. After that, I can't really help much [22:46] I installed xubuntu 11.10 on one drive divided into 3 partitions: one for windows7, one for data and one for linux. However, I couldn't set my data partition to be NTFS so it could be seen by both systems. After installing Xubuntu I changed it using GParted to NTFS and after that it is no a problem while Xubuntu is booting [22:46] I don't have 12.1 yet [22:46] Has anyone seen an issue in nfs where after mounting, world perms are ignored? [22:47] specifically denied, even if world perms are rw [22:47] kostasz: make sure your fstab is updated to reflect the change in format [22:47] pooky: sorry, I don't really use nfs much. [22:47] Hi. I have a basic problem. I forgot the password, but # passwd says my account doesnt exist; and if i leave it, the unix password doesnt let me write anything. [22:47] how do I reinstall the driver? I still have the file for 11.11 [22:47] so how can i update fstab? Should i do it manually? [22:47] Any help please. [22:48] kostasz: first I'd check it, then you can manually edit if necessary [22:48] !patience | Ariel88 [22:48] Ariel88: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [22:48] Ariel88- are you sure the account exists? [22:48] I added that just for the "please" because of fearing it would sound unpolite. Sorry. [22:48] ariel88: I'm not entirely sure what your question is asking. [22:49] Ariel88- you should add the account using "adduser" before you try to use "paaswd" to set the password [22:49] i tried that by setting UUID=something /media/DATA defaults 0 0 but it granted me just read-only acess [22:50] djathoris: Oh, thanks. Didnt know. [22:50] Ariel88: If you've actually lost access to your system, you'll need to grab a livecd and perform a 'passwd' of your user under a chroot. FYI. [22:50] well ariel88 did u try control center user management ? [22:50] huh djathoris ?? Ariel88 the password reset, should work, if you have your accountname right [22:50] kostasz- you need to set the partition type to ntfs-3g if you want r/w access [22:51] djathoris, new account will not have sudo priv [22:51] you have to add them to the sudoers list [22:51] kostasz also u may need to force option in ntfs-3g to mount unclean drives if ntfs-3g notifies u. [22:51] OerHeks- Ariel88 reported that passwd thought the old account didn't exist [22:51] - I tried that too but it seems that ntfs-3g is somehow unsupported [22:52] hatop that would be the solution, indeed. [22:52] did u install ntfs-3g packages ? [22:52] uups [22:52] Im a little confuse. So, what should i do? [22:52] how should i do that (ntfs-3g)? [22:52] kostasz: using apt-cache search [22:52] by synaptic? [22:53] and then apt-get install [22:53] or synaptic [22:53] or the ubuntu software center(I suppose). [22:53] kostasz mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt/external/ -o force [22:53] djathoris - allright. Thanks everybody! [22:53] /dev/sdc1 must be your device file. /mnt/external must be your mount point. [22:53] i see [22:54] i will try to install ntfs-3g packages and see if it helped [22:54] thank you all, hope not to see you today :) [22:56] have a luck kostasz [22:56] <_Ethan_> has someone here used After Effects from adobe?

[23:08] guest8642 first test that your printer working on your linux. try to print some pages. [23:08] djathoris: I don't know whether it does or not, trying to find out. Windows xp equivalent (vga.dll) does work. [23:08] Woodie8Potatoes: have you tried a apt-get update? [23:08] DinoMuffin: yep. [23:09] hm [23:09] linux sees the printer, and tries to install the printer but doesn't have the proper Driver [23:09] DinoMuffin: and it works. [23:10] * tommylommykins waves [23:10] How can I make sound not turn off when I switch user? [23:10] wagnor- not all video cards support vesa modes even when they are working right. Maybe you could try the driver for your particular card? [23:10] Woodie8Potatoes: what is the name of the package you're putting into apt-get install? [23:10] model name of printer ? [23:11] DinoMuffin: xinit with --no-install-recommends [23:11] that doesn't sound right [23:12] DinoMuffin: any package just won't install [23:12] guest8642 what is your printer name [23:12] and model plz [23:12] canon [23:12] well [23:12] damn, im diggin xubuntu [23:12] Woodie8Potatoes: is there a deb package on the CD?

When I run windows xp on standard nvidia drivers it crashes very quickly - ubuntu doesn't even start on standard drivers. [23:15] DinoMuffin: it's the default alternate cdrom (10.04). [23:16] <___marsh_> hello i'm having problem with HDMI splitter on ubuntu, the problem is nvidia driver won't recognize monitor over it so i can't have picture on it, dispar also don't recognize it. my setup is nvidia 450 gts with 2 monitors connected. the DVI one work HDMI one don't [23:16] Woodie8Potatoes: [23:16] wagnor_ - that sounds like a hardware problem which the vesa drivers won't be able to fix [23:16] Woodie8Potatoes: ok, well the package that you need should be called xserver-xorg [23:17] djathoris: I hoped that maybe vesa drivers can do what vga.dll can do. Afaik vga.dll sets up graphic card so that most/all the processing is done on cpu, and graphic card just passes it to monitor. [23:17] tommylommykins - what happens if you keep the original user open and just add a second user window? [23:18] maybe there's some other equivalent of vga.dll that I don't know of? [23:18] wagnor_ - what resolution is vga.dll displaying at? [23:19] djathoris: Many resolutions work under it - to my surprise even 1024x768 with 24depth [23:20] wagnor_ - that's strange why the xorg vesa driver won't start [23:20] djathoris: seems to me it does start - I can hear the "logging in" sound, it just can't pass the data to monitor "video mode not supported" [23:20] Does anyone know the command to change wallpaper? I tried gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://$wallpaper"? [23:21] I assume that if vesa drivers would not start the whole linux booting would stop [23:21] wagnor_ - ohh, that might just be a problem with the monitor refresh rate [23:21] even before graph. card was damaged I had "no video mode supported" on grub, after update, but when I (by memory) selected ubuntu on grub it launched okay, so maybe its a hint [23:22] quick dumb question, my acct is in the admin group and can sudo, i can ssh into my ubuntu 10 box using my account, i can start the x11vnc server, i can connection to the x1vnc session, but when i try to login in in the GUI it says authentication failure (using the same credentials i just connected with in SSH) [23:22] chale [23:22] que es esto? [23:23] wagnor_ - perhaps if you try setting the resolution to something safe like 800 x 600 with a refresh rate of 60hz?

[23:26] mustafaerhann: Still around?? Finally solved that pesky "sudo modprobe b43" problem? [23:26] mustafaerhann: Still around?? Finally solved that pesky "sudo modprobe b43" problem! [23:26] wagnor_: It sounds like grub and Xorg are both choosing a video mode which your monitor can't support (which probably means that your monitor is presenting incorrect EDID info). Configuring a smaller resolution might solve the problem. [23:26] I had it working on my ATI onboard hdmi but no other sound was working. So I bought the GT520 in hopes of getting away from driver issues. [23:26] CiDhed - does "alsamixer" see a control for that? [23:27] I can play sound to all 5 channels. [23:27] wagnor_: Do you see BIOS output on the screen before grub? [23:27] llutz: Still around?? Finally solved that pesky "sudo modprobe b43" problem! [23:27] Well, 6 including sub.

[23:29] CiDhed - which input jack on your soundcard does the dts sound cable run into? [23:29] danileigh79 grats how did u solve ? [23:29] I don't have a soundcard. I have a gt520 video card. I am using HDMI directly to my receiver. [23:30] wagnor_: You're welcome. You can set grub's resoltion with GRUB_GFXMODE in /etc/default/grub. [23:30] mustafaerhann: with "sudo gedit /etc/modules" then added the line "b43" to it and saved, did a reboot and wifi adapter activated automatically [23:30] chiggins: What grub floppy is this?

There is built in sound in a hdmi video card. [23:32] hey everyone, could anyone give me a hand with a php issue i'm having? it appears my php files are downloading rather than executing [23:32] card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] [23:32] Is what returns from aplay -l [23:33] chiggins: What is this floppy image though? Did you find a floppy disk on the street and decide to figure out what it is? [23:33] Does anyone know the command to change wallpaper? I tried gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://$wallpaper"? [23:33] I have sound everywhere else but on movies with DTS. [23:33] CiDhed - maybe that's "piracy" prevention? [23:33] Somelauw: see Desktop Drapes in the software center [23:33] this is a particularly troubling issues because i just putup another ubuntu box on vmware and did the same commands and php is running fine on the new ubuntu vmware server [23:33] danileigh79 when i was using mandrake 10.0 i have solved my nvidia driver problems as this. lol i remembered now. [23:34] Jordan_U: No, it's just like a copy of GRUB. If I was to copy this image contents though onto a usb or something It'd boot GRUB [23:34] mod probe files. [23:34] djathoris, Nah, It worked on the ATI card but broke other sound. To get it to work I had to remove pulseaudio. I shouldn't have to do that with Nvidia cards from my understanding. [23:34] chiggins: What are you trying to accomplish? [23:34] There is no piracy prevention on these files [23:34] cfhowlett: The default command should just work, I think [23:35] Jordan_U: http://jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_html/1.-Environment%20setup.html Reference section 1.3 [23:35] whenever someone has a moment to help me out with php, if you could ping me i'd appreciate it. thank you [23:35] CiDhed - do you have room in your pc for a separate sound card? [23:36] jesus..still can't find a way to play .wmv files, any solution?it must be [23:36] djathoris, Sure but that won't work. I will have to switch to dvi-d video and optical and that goes against the idea of a media center. [23:36] chiggins: I can't access a browser at the moment. Can you summarize? === ar0nic is now known as marowanna [23:37] It isn't logical to bandaid the issue when it is supposed to work correctly. [23:37] CiDhed - ok, it was just a thought. but linux drivers don't always support the hardware perfectly [23:38] Jordan_U: Using a tutorial for creating my own UNIX based operating system, currently using Ubuntu to write the code and compile and such. I'm basically going to be running this in a virtual machine (bochs), but in order to boot the kernel I need to run GRUB. That's where the floppy.img file I'm talking about comes into play [23:38] what log i can check to try fix erros with my vpn connection? [23:38] I know that but this is a proven card. [23:38] Rolling back my version of xbmc to see if that was it. [23:39] i have a 1000gig portable drive and i only had it for a a month, and used about 500gig...not sure why but in linux it slowly stopped reading it and now in winblows....i believe its the drive at fault but my question is what can cause this so early [23:39] is it already bad? [23:39] chiggins: I would recommend using the grub-mkrescue utility instead for making a bootable grub image. Though that will get you grub2, which is different from the grub legacy that guide is for. [23:39] sere - sounds it. low quality manufacturing === skip is now known as Nadd [23:40] sere: name of manufacturer? [23:40] sere, HDD breaks down short after purchase, or after 5 years [23:40] sere - use diagnostic tools to check if drive is still ok [23:41] ex. seagate tools [23:41] ultimate boot disc [23:41] hi folks, is it possible to pin to a specific release during preseeding? [23:41] s.m.a.r.t. enabled in the bios ? [23:41] Jordan_U: I just figured I'd try to stay as close to the guide as possible, ya know? [23:41] its a western digital essentail 1000gig and only had it a month [23:41] I work in a large organization that would like to gate updates and we're evaluating whether or not our requirements are going to allow us to keep using Ubuntu [23:42] !pinning | jenders [23:42] jenders: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [23:42] sere: if under warranty, return it. seagate generally makes decent equipment, but things do fail. 1 month use before problems is abnormal [23:43] Hi there! Can somebody give me a decent hint in the right direction to install them doomed nvidia drivers on my system? nvidia-xconfig made it unbootable. Now I am back to "unknown" device... [23:43] western digital used to be a quality brand [23:43] did u try restricted drivers ? [23:43] <_John> djathoris: They are still pretty good. What don't you like abuot them? [23:43] OerHeks: thanks, I'm familiar with apt-pinning but my question is specific to preseeding [23:43] <_John> about* [23:43] properiatary ? [23:43] cfhowlett, true, only 0.3% drives fail from seagate. [23:44] is it possible to pin to a specific release that is always deployed during preseeding and then gradually update from this release point === root_ is now known as Whiteeye [23:44] _John - user sere is reporting a 1 tb WD drive failing after a month === Whiteeye is now known as WhiteEye [23:44] solved [23:44] I just want it to work right now. I have 2 options in "additional-drivers" but both don't show sth. in the system info tab [23:45] hey Jeruvy i think i found the problem, im not passing special characters using properly SHIFT 2 for the @ symbol just shows "2" when i tested my password as my login name..... ideas? [23:45] <_John> djathoris: Never had that problem. Isn't there a warranty on it? [23:45] hi [23:45] <_John> Hello, mun) [23:45] i've just upgraded to 11.10 [23:45] <_John> mun_* [23:45] _John - you'd have to ask sere [23:45] it seems as if the default policy is to update to the latest version of packages installed via preseeding [23:45] jenders, you could easily stop updatemanager, or let you inform before downloading. [23:45] mun_: greetings [23:46] and i'm using gnome 3 on 11.10, but i can't right click on the panel to configure it. is there another way? [23:46] i always liked wd but one month on this one ..i dunno nopw [23:46] mun_: look up extensions. the panel is different than in gnome 2x [23:46] <_John> sere: Do you have a warranty? [23:47] terminhell, what do you mean extensions? [23:47] gnome-shell-extensions [23:47] OerHeks: is updatemanager still applicable for an installation without X11? [23:47] <___marsh_> hello i'm having problem with HDMI splitter on ubuntu, the problem is nvidia driver won't recognize monitor over it so i can't have picture on it, dispar also don't recognize it. my setup is nvidia 450 gts with 2 monitors connected. the DVI one work HDMI one don't [23:47] panel apps have been removed in gnome3/gnome-shell [23:47] mun_, use my-unity to configure 'the panel', or ubuntu-tweak [23:48] OerHeks: more importantly, during preseeding, after debootstrap, it seems as if packages are updated. I assume debootstrap installs from a snapshow of the LTS release and upgrades on top of this [23:48] <_John> sere: Western Digital is a good brand, you shouldn't let that one experience change how you look at it. Call Western Digital about it if you feel it's that bad. [23:49] our organization would like to handle updates as a more manual process to ensure compatability with existing applications [23:50] portage is pretty versatile, but outside the scope of ubuntu of course [23:50] jenders, installation without x, i am not sure what you want to do, you can add anything to your preseeding file, but not sure howto pin a version there. [23:50] jenders: then turn off auto updates [23:50] jenders, you could also start your own mirror-server, and control all [23:51] OerHeks: we're looking at going down that route [23:51] what log have info about vpn connectios with nm? [23:51] terminhell: we do have 'd-i pkgsel/update-policy select none' but that only applies after the machine has been seeded [23:51] during preseed, the install is updated from LTS snapshot release to current [23:52] this leads to patches we may not want installed, installed and version inconsistencies among pre-existing hosts in our environment [23:52] jenders: then you may want to manually upgrade stuff === Resistance_ is now known as Resistance [23:52] i'm trying to install chrome via .deb, but the software centre can't ope nit. it says "Internal Error. The file "...deb" could not be opened [23:52] 11.10 has so far been full of problems... === spartan is now known as Guest11208 [23:53] To change resolution/refresh rate with xorg.conf all I need to do is to add SubSection "Display" into "Screen" and put Modes "800x600_60.00" in there ? If I'll run sudo xinit -- :2 after editing xorg.conf should I see the X with changed resolution? [23:53] jenders: or try a different distro with a better package manager [23:53] terminhell: I don't the package manager is really the issue here, it's preseeding policy that I'm unclear on [23:53] mun: sudo dpkg -i [23:54] wagnor: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg [23:54] DinoMuffin, is chrome? [23:54] mun: it's the chrom deb file [23:55] mun: alternativly, run "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" [23:55] perhaps our issue is that we're installing a codename instead of a specific point release ? [23:55] DinoMuffin, ok i get an error while processing it [23:55] mun_: indeed, why not just use Chromium? [23:55] Is there a program for linear editing videos? I've created a screencast but need to remove some parts only [23:56] whereas CODENAME tracks stable instead of a specific point release, such as 10.04 [23:56] wagnor_ - there might alreadybe a sample org.conf in /etc/X11 [23:56] jenders: what do you mean? [23:56] i prefer chrome though === _John is now known as _Marcus [23:57] hey everyone, would someone mind helping me for a few moments with a php issue where my php files download instead of execute? I've installed the lamp stack via 'tasksel install lamp-server', and have posted my php5.conf/load file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/843741/ [23:57] Onkeltem: Openshot [23:57] cfhowlett: can it take existing MKV? [23:57] xibalba: try ./foo.php [23:57] from the command line? [23:58] Onkeltem: pretty sure yes other alternatives.... [23:58] xibalba: and make sure it has correct permissions to execute [23:58] xibalba - did you set permission on the php directory to make it executabke? [23:58] xibalba: and yes, from terminal [23:58] Onkeltem: openshot is pretty good, i have used it to edit mkv screencasts [23:59] well essentially i installed lamp-server, then cacti and tried to hit the cacti directory where it proceeded to download the main index.php instead of executing it [23:59] i dont have the php5-cli installed, only the apachemodule [23:59] OH, you may need a cli browser like lynx or w3m
