[00:05] damo22, 160gb. sdc is 250, and I'm using less than 7g [00:05] ActionParsnip, I do know it, but it's not the right way to install things with otherones rights... [00:06] kingfisher64, escapes me why you have not asked and not identified the printer [00:06] Horroreyes: if you have their password, why not... [00:06] craigbass1976, so why dont you dump the whole drive /dev/sdb to a file on /dev/sdc? [00:06] damo22, I'm running sudo foremost -i /dev/sdb I quit it after a couple of seconds, andsee all sorts of stuff in there, so I've started it again and will let it run a while.

[01:15] anybody know of linux software to map a wan [01:15] !media server [01:15] motherbrain: you've been told multiple times [01:15] can anyone recommend a DE? the main things i do with my pc are watch video, and bit torrent [01:15] lister: just run: sudo -i and you are done, running: exit will change you back to your user [01:15] motherbrain, http://www.google.com/#hl=en&biw=1440&bih=711&sclient=psy-ab&q=ubuntu+network+mapper&pbx=1&oq=ubuntu+network+mapper&aq=f&aqi=g1g-bq3&aql=&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=820l4832l0l5023l23l14l1l8l8l0l151l1220l11.3l23l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=d272a33775ff33c4 [01:16] it doesn't work very well [01:16] oh yea its in PM now i think === _ is now known as Guest31789 [01:16] Weird question but, do any of you know if the (very) old DOS programs like SQ have been ported to linux? [01:16] truexfan81: lxde is nice and light :) [01:16] Hi all. Does anyone know what the linux support for a card like this is? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150574 [01:16] MK` probably not ... [01:16] MK`: could run it in dosbox [01:16] MK`: what is SQ? [01:17] it was DOS's zip program back in the day [01:17] ActionParsnip: i'm quessing SQ = Space Quest? [01:17] agentgasmask see http://www.linux-drivers.org/ [01:17] i guess i left out i use dual monitors with xineramma [01:17] MK`, you have an old archive you want to uncompress? [01:18] damo22 yeah, I guess I will have to use dosbox and find the program somewhere [01:18] MK`: why not use unp or one of the gui apps if you want to manipulate archives.? [01:18] i like lxde but for some reason it won't work with my display setup [01:18] <_Marcus> MK`: And nothing else will unzip it? [01:18] i used to use ARJ compression in dos [01:18] no :P it's ok, I will try dosbox. [01:19] truexfan81: XFCE, KDE and Gnome are all fine. XFCE is the lightest of those 3 [01:19] hi [01:19] MK`: SQ works nearly perfectly in scummvm [01:19] alright thanks [01:20] cfhowlett: Thanks. I'll check it out. [01:20] nice, thanks [01:20] these kinds of files :P http://www.commodore.ca/manuals/funet/cpm/archivers/compress.txt [01:20] craigbass1976, i have a feeling your running job is not going to recover anything due to the command line args you used [01:22] MK`: oh sorry, thought you meant space quest, I should have look closer [01:23] hey good fellas [01:23] shadowlightining greetings [01:24] someone here can help me? [01:24] how i run hoic in ubuntu? [01:24] !ask|shadowlightining [01:24] shadowlightining: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:24] !info hoic [01:24] Package hoic does not exist in oneiric [01:25] i saw...i tried to install by terminal...but dont exist [01:25] <_Marcus__> shadowlightning: There are better software out there that are for Linux. You need to run HOIC in Wine. === _Marcus__ is now known as _Marcus [01:26] what software similar with hoic? [01:26] we DO NOT support HOIC ddos tools, shadowlightining [01:26] shadowlightining, better join #backtrack if you really want to know [01:26] its illegal to use maliciously in many countries [01:27] <_Marcus> It's good for testing. [01:27] OerHeks: thanks [01:29] Ben64: there are countries where software i take for granted is illegal, so where is the 'line'? [01:29] wth why would anyone want to send packets of random data to stop someones internet from working properly [01:29] most places its illegal to intentionally try to disable someone's services [01:30] quite different than other "illegal" things, like encryption [01:30] <_Marcus> Why would encryption be illegal? [01:30] _Marcus, because then NSA and CIA cant break your code [01:31] and they dont like it [01:31] <_Marcus> damo22: Encryption isn't illegal in the US, is it? [01:31] no idea [01:31] _Marcus: ask the French why they outlawed it in the 90s [01:31] _Marcus, backtrack & tools are illegal in Germany and many countrys [01:32] _Marcus: nope not in the USA [01:32] <_Marcus> heinz: How do I contact the French government? [01:32] _Marcus, probably good to address them in French, they dont like foreigners [01:32] Does /dev/sda2 translate to (hd0,2) ? [01:33] :P [01:33] <_Marcus> damo22: Then I'll address them in Hungarian. [01:33] haux: probably not, grub counts from 0 [01:33] haux, no hd0,1 ( hd0,0 - drive 1 ) [01:33] _Marcus, haha [01:33] c'est pas drole [01:34] Ok, thank you. [01:34] doesn't grub2 count from 1 [01:34] jal: i agree [01:34] :) [01:34] apparently not [01:35] hello,I'm using the ubuntu 10.04 and I have a ralink rt2573 usb wireless card , but the driver rt73usb/rt2x00/rt2501 don't work for it! How to solve the problem?

The funny thing is that I also have a WUSB54GC and it does work. Is there a problem with WUSB54G v4 wireless adapter??? [01:38] sushubin: the newer kernel and drivers may help [01:39] MeXTuX: what chip does it use? [01:39] ActionParsnip: any other suggestions? [01:39] MeXTuX: sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [01:40] I think WUSB54G uses a rt2570 chipset [01:40] MeXTuX, a bit of a discussion here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1499149 [01:40] <_Marcus> Why is my installation sitting at "Restoring previously installed packages"?

[01:47] <_Marcus> Is it the fading on the sides of the text? [01:47] ActionParsnip: normyls there is no grey background..there is normaly transparency [01:48] all my applications have this funny background [01:48] and i don't get why [01:49] leo-unglaub: what app isit? [01:49] leo-unglaub looks normal here. in fact, I'm envious that your gpu enables that level of visual effects.

[01:50] can this be true? [01:51] urfr332g0: yes [01:51] leo-unglaub, yes unity is aplugin in compiz. [01:52] leo-unglaub, looks to be missing the compositing in compiz for synapse to look right, I think. [01:53] leo-unglaub, this 12.04? [01:53] urfr332g0: no, i tryed it but i had huge problems with multiple monitors...so i switched back to [01:53] trying 12.04 is the reasion why i am reinstalling :) [01:54] leo-unglaub, try gnome 3 maybe? [01:54] urfr332g0: i did, but the gnome shell sucks [01:55] i want to see what my tools are doing and not my computer hiding icons all the time === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [01:55] is there a netbook version of 11.10?

[01:56] urfr332g0: gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true <- that fixed my problem [01:56] thanks ! [01:56] Does the 3.0.0-16-generic kernel contain the ASPM power regression fix? [01:56] leo-unglaub, cool you using the fallback? [01:56] brerrabbit: the netbook version was just a different UI, now that UI is default for Desktop as well [01:56] how do i fix boot failing to initramfs prompt? i tried mounting /root and /root/boot and /dev, etc. and did update-initramfs -u and it still hasn't helped [01:56] i just installed 11.10 on my wifes netbook and it filled the entire drive :/ === slikts1 is now known as slikts [01:57] brerrabbit shrink windows first?

I have seen on wikipedia pictures visual pictures of the whole internet.... what software allowed them to do that.... I can only find ones that map the lan network [02:12] <_Marcus> motherbrain: Map the whole internet? That would take decades.

[02:13] Then how did they get this picture of the internet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Internet_map_1024.jpg [02:13] hmm, how can I check if my vpn encryption is working properly?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:14] <_Marcus> motherbrain, let's talk in private message please. [02:15] <_schism_> can someone explain to me why we have to enter ./ to run some programs? I have googled it quite a bit but cant seem to find an answer [02:15] _schism_: PATH related, ./ means from this location [02:15] _schism_: Because it specifies that you are running the program with that name in the current directory. [02:15] _schism_: ./ refers to the current workin directory [02:16] it means you are executing something in your current path [02:16] if you want to execute anything from anywhere you can add it to the PATH variable [02:16] totesmuhgoats: path isn't the right word there [02:16] zykotick9: oh? [02:16] oh i see [02:16] i misspoke [02:17] <_schism_> so even if you are running it in a directory you still have to tell it your running it in the directory and that is how it does it then? [02:17] _schism_: Yes. [02:17] _schism_: well you either have to specify an absolute path, or a relative path [02:17] _schism_: it is a BAD idea to have your current directory in your $PATH === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [02:17] absolute path would mean /usr/bin/whatevs [02:18] relative path would be ./poo or ../some/poo [02:18] <_schism_> zykotick9, no I meant as in I am in the directory when I run it [02:18] _schism_: right, thus the ./ [02:19] <_schism_> I think I get it now. And if more people would come in here when they have questions I don't think windoze would have any market share at all :) [02:19] _schism_: if you "ls" you'll see the first two entries are . and .. -- the . means, this directory .. means up a directory (sorry getting a bit off origional topic there) [02:19] !windoze | _schism_ [02:19] _schism_: Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making the community look unreasonable.

I was talking to the wife and saying our daughter had dozed off when I was typing [02:22] !bot [02:22] Hi!

I was way off on what I thought ./ was! [02:23] <_Marcus> How do I remove lightdm and all it's componments? That means all the software that is used with it, Gnome, and everything for a GUI. [02:23] (If you go there to troll, I will remove you from here.) [02:23] urfr332g0: that's why i put "advocacy" in quotes [02:24] at best it is usually someone entering for a moment to say "ubuntu great windoes is isnecyuur and stupid" === raj` is now known as raj === Firebolt is now known as MPAA [02:24] _Marcus: sudo apt-get remove lightdm, and then sudo apt-get autoremove to remove its dependencies. [02:24] then they quit [02:24] hey guys, my server is dying down! i rebooted it, and now the ssh service didnt start! what should i do! === MPAA is now known as Firebolt [02:25] <_schism_> now next question. anyone use ksplice? [02:25] Cube``, how is it failing [02:25] jlb181: ./ is equivalent to what you get if you type pwd and press return [02:25] !anyone | _schism_ [02:25] _schism_: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [02:25] <_schism_> lol I love the bots [02:25] _schism_: Hehe. [02:25] jlb181: ../ is the parent folder of the result of pwd [02:25] jlb181: and ~/ is the path to your home folder [02:26] they are just shorthand ways of typing it [02:26] tensorpudding: i cannot start it up. sudo service ssh start gives me: start: Job failed to start [02:26] <_schism_> any anyone was a real question to get some personal feedback as to how easy it is for a noob to use [02:27] _schism_: i doubt you'll find many (err, any) ksplice users here, maybe in #ubuntu-server? [02:27] _schism_: There's only one way to find out. ;P [02:27] Wouldn't it be great if you had a infinite vertical desktop workspace that scrolled up and down smoothly along with your mouse scroll? [02:27] oh [02:27] Karmaon, Actually you can do it in Fvwm2 [02:27] Good stuff to know really! I see a lot of people complain about the command line, but it is so useful and fast! [02:27] <_schism_> zykotick9, but you guys now how to deal with noobs like me the grey beards scare me [02:27] Cube``, are you sure you're not already running sshd? [02:27] <_schism_> log I agree but I am a coward [02:28] _schism_: Be bold. ;) [02:28] _schism_: i highly doubt you need to be using ksplice [02:28] <_schism_> log if I wanted to be bold I would run arch :) [02:28] Cube``, it's possible that the script is failing because sshd is already running [02:28] <_schism_> zykotick9, I know I dont need it I just am thinking of poking at it to learn something new [02:29] _schism_: well, knock yourself out. ksplice was aquired by Oracle, so it's on my "won't use" list. good luck. [02:29] Karmaon, You could place a lot of vertical windows and set mouse scroll to 1 horizontal pixel line per scroll, to give you smooth scrolling; however getting back to your earlier viewport would be difficult if you have infinite/lots of desktops.. [02:29] hey guys, i'm having some issues sharing between computers using samba. They're all running 11.04. Sometimes one computer won't connect to the other, and i'll have to logout and in on the one i'm trying to serve off of in order to get a connection. That's kind of a drag, are there any typical problems that could be or some things i could try to fix it? [02:30] <_schism_> zykotick9, I hadnt thought about that. looks like I may not poke at it now [02:30] Ubuntu 10.04LTS: Is there a way to write a script that copies *new* files from one folder into another folder? [02:30] TurtleSoup: look into rsync [02:31] mister2: if both machines are Ubuntu, you could look into using NFS for a more network filesystem [02:31] s/more/more stable/ [02:31] _schism_: Maybe you could ask the people in #ksplice. [02:31] mister2: try restarting the samba service instead of logging off and on and such [02:32] zykotick9 and nfs would be what? [02:32] <_schism_> log but they are not #ubuntu :) [02:32] True, true. :) [02:32] Cube``, what happens when you sudo service ssh stop [02:32] actionparsnip i'll do that next time it bugs out, is there a simple command for it? [02:32] mister2: nfs is unix's (and gnu/linux) Network File System [02:32] mister2: sudo service smbd stop; sudo service smbd start === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu [02:33] zykotick9 is that integrated into ubuntu already or do i need to grab any package files? [02:33] actionparsnip: thanks, i'll try that next time :D [02:33] hi, where are synaptic custom filters stored? [02:33] tensorpudding: stop: Unknown instance: [02:33] satyanash: it doesn't have to be infinite. I find using ctrl-alt down/up cumbersome when needing to switch workspaces quickly [02:33] mister2: you should probably do some reading/research first, it's perhaps not as easy to setup as Samba (personally i find it MUCH easier, but I'm familiar with it) [02:33] Cube``, so it's not already running then [02:33] tensorpudding: yeah :( [02:34] !nfs | mister2 [02:34] mister2: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [02:34] zykotick9 kk, i'll take a look into it. thanks for the tip [02:34] Cube``, does /usr/sbin/sshd exist [02:34] Karmaon, It's doable then.. but you want scrolling to work wherever your mouse pointer is, right? not just on the desktop ? [02:34] ActionParsnip: is there a way to have rsync constantly running? I want to back up files from one hard drive to another, but only if they're added from this point on. I also want to be able to modify the files on one of the drives, so RAID isn't for me. [02:34] (or does RAID let me do that?) [02:35] satyanash: just on the desktop [02:35] TurtleSoup: cron a job to run every 10 mins or so, I believe dropbox does LAN sync too, worth looking into [02:37] Karmaon, Hmm. It is doable, I believe you can change the virtual desktop settings in the control panel, and also set up mouse scroll switching from there too. [02:37] Cube``, what happens if you simply run /usr/sbin/sshd -D [02:37] Hi All. I have tried installing Mint, Ubuntu and Debian, and after each install i get this error when the machine is restarted : "GRUB error: file not found." . After each install I have removed all partitions using GParted. I have just run a tool in a LiveCd called boot-repair. This tool attempted to repair grub but it failed. This tool created this pastebin : http://paste.ubuntu.com/846730/ . Could someone have a look [02:38] evildaemon, which OS are you wanting to handle grub? [02:38] hi, where are synaptic custom filters stored? [02:38] bbl [02:38] Karmaon, you will be better off asking other people how _exactly_ to do that, since I don't use the defaults that Ubuntu provides. [02:39] satyanash: heh, thanks! [02:39] <_Marcus> I removed lightdm and did "sudo apt-get autoremove" and nothing removed. I'm still in GUI. [02:39] <_Marcus> How do I remove everything [02:39] <_Marcus> ALL GUI [02:39] <_Marcus> I want to remove all the GUI stuff* [02:39] seems there isnt a good ubuntu application for listening to internet streams anymore. i've spent the entire day reading forum posts trying to fix problems with banshee extension, a streamtuner 1 that crashes when you switch tabs, a streamtuner2 whose directory doesn't match what it sends to the player and won't send to banshee at all no matter what the command line is...community support>>> you need [02:40] to get the developers inline or start dropping packages that have low development activity. tired, tired, tired. [02:40] _Marcus, you have to explicitly remove every package you don't want [02:40] _Marcus: remove packages: *-desktop (ubuntu,xubuntu,etc), xorg-common, then autoremove after that [i'd guess] [02:40] Dr_willis: Mint is installed at the moment. [02:40] _Marcus: why not just install server? [02:40] i don't think autoremove will remove the dependencies [02:41] <_Marcus> aeon-ltd: because server doesn't work for what I am doing. It's weird, it has some other Linux thing in it. [02:41] When I try to install new program/ perform some operations I am asked for a keychain login password. This is not my old password or my new password. Any ideas WTF is going on? [02:42] <_Marcus> zykotick9: It didn't reconize anything with the regex *-desktop [02:43] SillyScat, did you mistakenly make a password for root? [02:43] _Marcus: i mean, ubuntu-desktop and/or kubuntu-desktop, etc [02:43] so i can get into my OS only if i cryptsetup luksOpen my encrypted lvm partition at initramfs and then exit. update /etc/crypttab with update-initramfs -u doesn't cause it to prompt me for a password on boot [02:43] any ideas how to fix this? [02:43] <_Marcus> zykotick9: it said ubuntu-desktop isn't installed [02:43] <_Marcus> How do I view all the packages I have installed> [02:44] _Marcus: then you don't need to uninstall it [02:44] _Marcus: "dpkg -l" [02:44] urfr332g0 Don't think so but i'm kinda a newb and have been messing around with terminal comand trying to learn.

[03:25] 9 is no longer supported [03:25] by mozilla or by canonical [03:25] but cant it be downloaded [03:26] All updates do is make my OS bigger and bigger and bigger.

[03:27] celltech, mine is about 3 gigs, seems reasonable. [03:27] why is a couple of gigabytes a problem?

[04:00] cfhowlett, im installing network-manager-gnome. I think thats what i look for [04:00] nope, it's not alsa or noalsa [04:00] I assume it's as they enter here, because this is the only place where i have a common channel with him/her/it. [04:00] anybody know how to force mplayer to always use alsa? [04:00] DanDare I seem to recall that wifi radar was the default in 7.04/7.10. FWIW that pic I showed you is from network-manager with the same/better functionality [04:01] DanDare invoke from cli with nm [04:01] yeah, lorfus spammed me with a link about 'jews did wtc" [04:01] blud: ~/.mplayer/conf (or something like that) [04:01] liberal, yup but i don't know the variable [04:01] cfhowlett, ok [04:02] blud: man mplayer is helpful with that [04:02] DanDare wait 1 - misinformation... [04:02] i don't remember the config variable either. been too long since i used mplayer [04:02] I've deleted grub.d and reinstalling grub-pc is not recreating them, how to make it? [04:02] liberal, i wish i could use VLC instead but i cant seem to make Freevo understand that i want it to use vlc instead of mplayer [04:02] DanDare network-manager-gnome === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu === Frostee is now known as _Frostee [04:04] I am very new to Ubuntu and Linux. I change because of security. I had only used Ubuntu for a month. I had learned some things and I like Ubuntu. However, the most important reason I changed, security, because I had not configured anything yet(had not configured firewall and don't know how to do it), does this mean someone can hack into my computer? [04:04] I'm experiencing so many problems right now with grub that I don't even know where to begin... I rearranged some SATA cables and tried to change which drive's mbr grub was installed on. Everything appeared to work fine until I messed with Grub Customizer and then Windows disappeared from the boot list. Then I uninstalled grub2 completely, reinstalled, and now the boot list will no longer even show up. [04:04] I don't know what to do... [04:05] hi [04:05] blud: i don't know what freevo is, but good luck. maybe its just a matter of setting the preferred application in your window manager. [04:05] gfsdfgfdg sensible use prevents most hackers and most hackers want a much more profitable target than your machine... [04:05] It boots into Ubuntu automatically.

[04:06] gfsdfgfdg: disregard what cfhowlett said. that is not an appropriate approach to security.

I'm trying to install to a hard drive from a usb drive that I created using 11.10 live cd and unetbootin as well as I tried universal usb installer and liveusb-creator. Basically what I'm getting is when my computer loads I tell it to boot from the usb and I just get a blank screen with a blinking cursor it [04:09] doesn't even get to the install part.

[04:25] I'm running ubuntu inside virtual box on a windows vista machine. Why when i press full screen, it doesn't get 100% full, just a big black box, with the small box desktop in the middle? [04:25] Eruadan did you install guest additions? [04:25] on windows i must install? [04:25] Eruadan what virtual machine program are you using? [04:25] virtual box [04:26] invisigothik: a wired nic? [04:26] Eruadan read the virtualbox help file for Guest Additions - full instructions are there... [04:26] Eruadan, change the screen resolution [04:27] yeh.. [04:27] psusi, the screen resolution of the ubuntu or in the windows host/? [04:27] So...No idea how to setup dual monitoring in fluxbox? [04:28] ok guys, going to the strip club [04:28] tadpole: with the aticinfig tool i belive. [04:28] Eruadan, either.. if the virtual machine resolution is lower than the real screen resolution, then it won't use the whole screen [04:28] be back when hell freezes over [04:28] , i think guest additions would be if ubuntu was the host sytem, wich is not the case [04:28] how do i get the aticonfigtool? [04:28] !ati [04:28] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [04:29] Eruadan news to me but entirely possible. Sorry if I misdirected you.

Do we know any mirrors? this is really a bitch [04:34] Jezarith: no idea [04:35] I suppose that's what happens when you rely on closed source software... [04:35] i still dont know what to do after that XD [04:35] !java [04:35] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [04:36] dr_willis, I know, It doesn't make it less of a pain in the ass. [04:36] I try to change a process priority (to a lower value) but it constently reset back to 0, how can I force the priority to be permanent on the process? [04:36] Jezarith: webupd8 blog has some guides [04:36] dr_willis, I have a about 20 different puppet manifests with it as an apt dependency, and apps that require sun's version. So.. shit [04:37] dr_Willis [04:37] how about you control my screen and do it for me? [04:37] im hopeless XD [04:37] Or you could tell me how to get rid of fluxbox :P [04:37] tadpole: nit going to happen. on my phone [04:37] mmk [04:37] Jezarith: please mind your language [04:38] tadpole: install another WM/DE and select it at login [04:38] grub2 will no longer load on startup. It boots directly into Ubuntu. I've done grub-install, update-grub, everything. no luck. any suggestions? [04:38] how do i do that? [04:38] lol... [04:38] I want the original ubuntu one back [04:39] how did you remove it? [04:39] idk [04:39] haux: HOLD shift after BIOS to get grub menu [04:39] my bro did it for me [04:39] he is insane with this shiz [04:39] but he is offline and im desperate [04:39] zykotick9, shouldn't it display automatically though? It always has before [04:39] install the ubuntu-desktop package [04:39] haux: if you only have ubuntu, i think it defaults to not showing [04:40] haux: you can change behaviour in /etc/default/grub [04:40] zykotick9, Ubuntu/Windows. The whole windows thing is different issue entirely.

[04:41] zykotick9, do you know what I would have to change? [04:41] haux: look for hidden entries i think [04:41] zykotick9, GRUB_DEFAULT=0 ...change to 1? [04:42] haux: not that [04:42] Where do I download? I'm just trying to download Ubuntu Server, haha [04:42] pangolin, really ? [04:42] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [04:42] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [04:42] haux: that's to choose which entry to boot by default [04:42] torrent please, direct download is really slow [04:42] haux: that looks better ;) [04:42] i cant remove wine [04:42] * satyanash goes to upgrade his servers to 10.04.04 [04:42] zykotick9, those are what it was already set to...

[04:45] yup [04:45] haux, this since all the changes? [04:45] I just ran it [04:46] haux: FYI if you make any changes to /etc/default/grub you need to run "sudo update-grub" for them to be applied [04:46] Any other suggestions besides plop to get 11.10 to boot from my 8gb flash drive? I've tried quite a few options to no avail. Is this a limitation of the usb drive because of it's size? [04:47] I recently rearrange some SATA cables. My primary drive changed to /dev/sda, and I wanted grub to be installed on it's mbr. In my attempt to do this, windows disappeared from the grub boot list. etc etc... I messed around and now grub won't load at all. [04:47] *rearranged [04:48] haux, your missing this on the sda2 and the bootflag. /bootmgr /Boot/BCD [04:48] Even tried recovatux or whatever it's called, from the super grub2 disc [04:48] who the fuck is acceptance?

[04:49] !ot | ch33z [04:49] ch33z: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:50] haux, use gparted to set the boot flag on the sda2 that is the windows install right? [04:50] urfr332g0, yes [04:50] urfr332g0, I know what I did now.. [04:50] well, it would be cool to have a cool chat [04:50] urfr332g0, I deleted the 100mb partition for windows because i thought the new grub install would load everything [04:51] Anybody know the terminal command to determine HDD size, and the amount of data it is holding ? [04:51] It was the "system reserved" partition for windows 7 [04:51] ch33z, this is support only. please chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:51] o cool [04:51] yea [04:51] haux, that had the boot files you need go to ##windows for help [04:51] do they whine if i talk normal though there? just wondering.. [04:52] ch33z, please stay on topic here [04:52] zykotick: I didn't think it did but my windows installs boot just fine off the flash drive it's just linux distros, it's not even limited to ubuntu I also tried debian and fedora. [04:52] sorry bang bang [04:52] vindav df -h [04:52] haux, withn the boot flag set on the sda2 a couple of commands from a recovery or install disc should get you fixed [04:52] also bazhang [04:52] !tab > Liamdrien [04:52] Liamdrien, please see my private message [04:52] i need help real quick [04:52] haux, a W7 disc that is. [04:53] Liamdrien: sorry, i don't have an explanation for that. Good luck. [04:53] when installing ubuntu server do i use my static ip as my host name? [04:53] Hostname: [04:53] zykotick9: thanks [04:53] ch33z: i doubt hostname would allow periods [04:53] urfr332g0, I will have to give that a try. Thanks for your help. I didn't realize boot files were missing... that was the missing key all along. [04:53] yup [04:54] does the host name just be wahtever we want? [04:54] zykotick9 like "Server" as the host name [04:54] call it "Server" [04:54] ch33z: it's the Name of the computer, select anything you want [04:54] figured that [04:54] someone told me different [04:54] cfhowlett: thank you very much. BTW, do you know how one can use the SWAP area to store data instead of just /dev/sda5 (local drive) ? [04:55] vindav: how big is your SWAP partition? [04:55] vindav pretty sure that's a questionable idea but ask the channel... [04:55] vindav: you DON'T want to store anything there - doubt it's possible [04:56] zytotick9: it is 232GB, used 135GB already for it. [04:57] vindav: that's not SWAP then (or i hope it isn't) [04:57] !tab > vindav [04:57] vindav, please see my private message [04:57] vindav my general rule is Swap = 2X ram. YMMV. [04:58] Hey guys I am running a Virtual IRC ubuntu client box. Just checking it out. [04:58] cfhowlett, how much ram do you have? [04:59] cfhowlett: i'd suggest in modern times, 2X RAM is overkill - but it's easier then trying to explain Physical RAM + a little (if you want hibernate) [04:59] urfr332g0 4 gig ram/8gig swap. [04:59] cfhowlett, ^^^^ [05:00] zykotick9: my /dev/sda5 HDD is my local drive; /dev/sda1 is that small portion of 100MB; and the /dev/sda2 is I guess the SWAP area. [05:00] zykotick9 out of a 500g drive, 8G seems a trivial sacrifice to the computing gods. [05:00] cfhowlett: What is the purpose of SWAT ? [05:00] !swap|vindav [05:00] vindav: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [05:00] special weaponry and tactics, of course. [05:01] meiji11: well, you did technically answer the question asked ;) [05:01] what we're here for. === karthik is now known as Guest67838 [05:01] meiji11 the first rule of swap is you don't TALK about swap. you've been warned... [05:01] meiji11: i'd say SWAT is perhaps OT ;) [05:01] DrWillis how are you today? nice to see you again. [05:02] :) [05:02] and now that we've completely befuddled and confused the helpseekers... === Guest67838 is now known as treadstone90 [05:05] where can I find the bash configuration file? [05:05] I [05:06] Mission: start with ~/.bashrc [05:06] cfhowlett: ok, thanks for the info. Good to know and that Ubuntu self-manages it. Good. Got to go now.:D [05:06] thanks zykotick9 [05:06] vindav have fun/be safe [05:07] Mission: it really depends what you want to configure however, other common settings might be in ~/.profile [05:07] well I used to be able to configure it before [05:07] I just forgot the directory [05:08] bashrc sounds more fimiliar is all [05:08] !list [05:08] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [05:09] I'm still a little confused [05:10] it would be some place where you'd place something like... cat art.txt [05:11] Mission: "cat art.txt" is a command with a file. What do you really want to do? [05:11] I have an ubuntu question of my own. often, when experiencing a problem (ie I can't connect to my WAP) I'll reboot and find that ubuntu has automatically routed around it (or so it would seem).. is there a way to check the changes it made without resorting to /var/log or dmesg, etc? it's great that ubuntu does it, but I would like to know how. with other linux distributions, problems of that nature just.. persist, until I fix them myself. [05:11] I want to load ascii art every time I open the linux terminal === hartley_ is now known as hartley [05:12] Mission: playing with MOTD might be what your looking for then. I'm no help though, good luck. [05:12] anyone know of a company that ships netbooks with ubuntu and not windows 7? (I don't want to buy w7 for nothing!) [05:12] ok thanks for the help [05:13] I think I came accross one earlier today [05:14] bluezone: here's a place where you might find something like that [05:14] http://www.youtube.com/user/System76Video/featured?v=NFylMwry2h0 [05:14] bluezone, http://www.system76.com/ [05:14] don't know about notebooks but they do linux computers by a default [05:15] bluezone, here are the netbooks I believe. http://www.linux-netbook.com/system76-starling-netbook [05:17] hello again. i am having issues with getting a broadcom ethernet card to work with ubuntu 11.10. i have followed the instructions for installing the newer drivers for the realtek from the launchpad forum. the new driver installed, yet do not work. [05:19] Mission: FYI i was wrong about MOTD, that doesn't show when you open a terminal [05:19] Okay, I think I botched something up on my server. I can't ping anything. All I did was change dhcp to static (tutorial for getting a static ip) and now it wont work :( [05:20] it's all good [05:20] I was able to figure things out [05:20] now ascii art loads :D [05:20] riyonuk: using /etc/network/interfaces? Can you pastebin the current contents? [05:20] I don't know, I was having trouble with the ralink, and apparently.. rebooting ubuntu is magic sauce for one's problems. I have no idea why. [05:20] zykotick9: I'll try. [05:22] zykotick9: How do I select all text using nano? [05:22] God I feel like a retard right now d: [05:22] riyonuk: sorry no idea, not really a nano-guy [05:22] i'll pastebin the ifconfig/lshw if this info will help anyone out there to help me.... [05:23] riyonuk: do you have entries for address, netmask, network, broadcast and gateway? [05:24] invisigothik: check dmesg output also. try loading the new driver module by hand. [05:24] just address, netmask, and gateway [05:24] I need some help figuring out why Ubuntu freezes when I plug the power cord in... [05:24] riyonuk: then you are missing stuff [05:24] zykotick9: then the tutorial I just followed sucks. [05:25] skegeek is your adaptor OEM? Replacement adaptors cause all kinds of funny things... [05:25] * riyonuk throws arms in the air [05:25] riyonuk: crappy tutuorials online are unfortunatly not-uncommon ;) [05:25] I do know that I have to unplug the cord for BIOS to complete and OS to begin loading. But, I can plug it in without Windows freezing. [05:25] riyonuk: do you have nameservers set? [05:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/846830/ [05:25] acceptance, thats fine but don't pm me please > [05:25] nope [05:25] skegeek OME or no... [05:25] The power cord is original. [05:26] Hello all, I was curious was there anyway to switch the Unity numbered shortcuts to key combination shortcuts? [05:26] its in a vmware install though, so im not sure if I'm doing it the right way [05:26] skegeek adaptor would be the box part - read the label. Should be of same manufacture as your computer. [05:26] hiexpo: ok [05:26] dr_willis: i actually already did the driver by terminal code, following the instructions from launchpad [05:26] riyonuk: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [05:27] It all came in the same box, I bought this laptop brand new. [05:28] skegeek OK that should answer that question.... [05:29] it says host unreachable [05:29] this is actually quite complicated to setup, but it's fun nontheless [05:29] ? is that true that gnome 2 is out no longer supported ? [05:29] I don't know why BIOS requires the cord to be unplugged, although Toshiba did release an upgrade recently which I still haven't figured out how to download/install. [05:29] hiexpo consider g2 dead [05:29] riyonuk: that means name servers aren't the problem [05:30] hiexpo: g2 is alive and well in debian stable, for another year or so [05:30] skegeek did a software center search for toshiba - some laptops have custom additions to make them more ubuntu friendly. [05:31] thats not good if g2 is out and thanks zykotick9 [05:31] can someone help me ... i keep getting ' bash: ./my_script: bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [05:31] ' this message when i try to run this simple script [05:31] not sure why it won't execute, i've set the permissions and checked the path [05:32] machiolate: check the first line #!/bin/bash is probably incorrect [05:32] ok === Clear_ is now known as Pickleface [05:32] for some reason I cant dl music onto my blackberry I cant even see it plugged in [05:32] MachHare, what is your bin bash script pastebinit [05:32] is the wayland project a substitute for x? [05:32] ahh! thanks zykotic9 was missing a '/' lol [05:32] I hope so, because I passionately hate x. [05:32] riyonuk: whats the link to the tutorial you used? [05:32] machiolate: and my /bin/bash is only an example, use whatever interpreter the script uses [05:32] overclucker: I think the hardest part for me is just editing text. vim or nano, not very fun [05:33] oops soory MachHare [05:33] riyonuk: that'll get easier with practice. [05:33] what is your bin bash machiolate [05:34] for some reason I cant dl music onto my blackberry I cant even see it plugged in [05:34] ahh, it was referring to that line of specific code, got it. thanks again [05:34] np [05:36] overclucker: thanks for trying to help. going to learn vim before I try again, as I'm just spinning my wheels [05:36] riyonuk, maybe use nano [05:36] hiexpo: still hard, can't even ctrl+a, ctrl+c [05:37] riyonuk, what ya trying to do ? [05:37] hiexpo: just copy and paste /etc/network/interfaces [05:37] riyonuk: you don't really need to pastebin that, we know you are missing stuff [05:38] !pastebinit | riyonuk you might also be interested in [05:38] riyonuk you might also be interested in: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:38] riyonuk, why not much in there what ya needto know ?

[06:03] like a boss [06:03] I know how to generate it, but no idea how to get it onto the virtual machine, or where it goes [06:03] riyonuk: many routers have an option to assign some hosts (by MAC address) to always have the same IP [06:04] riyonuk: the pub key goes into ~/.ssh/ and you'll have to either copy/paste, use scp, or something similar [06:04] so reading how to fix grub it says to type sudo grub-install /dev/XXX when I do that (replacing XXX with sda) cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)

Does anyone have any ideas? [06:28] dipix athlon because its more powerful [06:28] poyntz the image has more than one partition ?

What exactly is causing disconnection and how can I fix it? Laptop uses - Intel Advanced-N6230 (2x2 agn + Bluetooth) whereas wireless router supports all b/g/n [06:44] Can anyone provide help. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything [06:44] for example I am running Ubunut 11.10 Server and when I try to do the Name Resolution it gives me command not found when adding this "sudo /etc/resolv.conf.

[06:45] ch33z: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:45] got* [06:45] ch33z: what specifically are you trying to do [06:45] ch33z: sorry typo resolv.conf [06:45] just adding a basic website or websites [06:45] basic html [06:46] html isn't in resolv.conf [06:46] i have 2 basic html sites i want to upload [06:46] that has nothing to do with resolv.conf [06:46] indeed [06:46] but, in order to get those sites done, I suppose I need to get DNS, Apache, and SSH set up correct? [06:46] Can anyone provide help. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything. [06:46] sunshine ? confirm this is a dual boot? [06:46] you might want to use ftp [06:46] my problem was that my script was not working [06:46] yes, Blue1 what do i type in the ftp client though? [06:46] apache yes, ssh is really really handy, and dns isn't necessary at all [06:47] ch33z: the ip address or the hostname of the server [06:47] ah [06:47] ch33z: well you need to know the name of the ftp server, and then a userid/password as a mininum [06:47] Ben64 so "server name, user name, and password? [06:48] ch33z: yes, what client ru using? [06:48] Forklift [06:48] and transmit either are fine. [06:48] sftp is usually easier to get set up [06:48] Bueler, Bueler, anyone, anyone. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything [06:48] ch33z: not one I am fam. with. but you need those regardless of the client. [06:49] alright well is SFTP already set up on ubuntu server by default? [06:49] if you have ssh running [06:49] i believe i do [06:49] http://pastebin.com/Vc452kC9 [06:50] chris__: nmap -sP 1.1.1.1-100 [06:50] ch33z: what is it your are trying to do? [06:50] just upload basic html files [06:50] thats it [06:50] nothing crazy [06:51] i would like to host 2 sites I have 9 static ips but, if I can get up one site for now that would be great. [06:51] just get a scp or sftp client and go for it [06:51] ch33z: any ftp client will sork [06:51] Can anyone provide help. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything [06:51] Thats awesome, so much faster [06:51] blub0x, please dont repeat every minute [06:51] also when I start SSH on the server it says this " could not load host key rs, dsa, and ecdsa" [06:52] ch33z: well you need to have the apache server installed for that -- and most isp's block incoming http (port 80) requests. [06:52] So what should i do then [06:52] Hi all, I'm on Kubuntu 11.10, kernel 3.0.0-16-generic, bcm4313 chipset, wl drivers [06:52] i have a business class internet class so they dont block any ports [06:52] and apache2 is installed [06:52] and I'm trying to change the default IP assigned by network manager on a share connection [06:52] blub0x, be patient. try askubuntu.com while you wait, repeat in 10-15 minutes or so [06:52] ch33z: iirc the default location is /var/www [06:53] the default is 10.42.43.1 and I want to change the IP to 169.x [06:53] would that be possible? [06:53] but if you want more than one site on it, shouldn't use /var/www [06:53] Ben64 correct [06:53] o Blue1 [06:53] which do I use then? [06:53] So I turned on my machine today, all my desktop icons were blank and my top menu bar was white. I made sure I had the right drivers and tried to change the theme, but no luck [06:53] which is where apache configs and vhosts come in [06:53] Screenshot here http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/6158/screenshotat20120218175.png [06:54] you could probally do this in a split second, how would I take the ips and turn them in an array [06:54] i haven't done apache in ages -- I do all my web hosting thru godaddy - far far easier [06:54] "apache2: could not reliabily determine the servers fully quallified domain name using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName" [06:54] i have two servers running apache [06:54] makes sense [06:55] Ben64, any ideas? [06:55] ch33z: read up on apache vhosts and configs [06:55] Can anyone help? [06:55] kk [06:55] hmm i will come back and ask if i am still stuck [06:55] zyracksis: what version of ubuntu? [06:55] 11.10 [06:55] zyracksis: gnome, unity, or? [06:56] Unity [06:56] zyracksis: not sure how to fix that in unity, but in gnome, piece of cake. [06:57] is there an event viewer type program i can use? got my crystalhd card finally running, but im getting system freezes with some hd flash videos. [06:57] Ben64 where are the vhosts apache and configs area on the guide? thanks [06:57] I might have to switch to gnome if I can't fix this [06:57] ch33z: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ [06:58] hartley: dmesg or sudo tail -f /var/log/messages [06:58] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11697938#post11697938 [06:58] can anyone help?

[07:01] Ahh [07:01] I upgraded from 9.10 lol [07:01] hartley: usually you can tail the last x number of lines, and pipe that into more [07:01] it says something about fresh install, don't upgrade? ;x [07:02] hartley: something like: sudo tail -150 /var/log/vsftpd.log | more [07:02] incognito, your thread says your running 9.10 are you? [07:02] or some number bigger then 150 [07:02] no such file [07:02] oops [07:02] No, i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 [07:02] sorry i have to edit my post lol it's late [07:03] oops [07:03] incognito, 10.04 is supported [07:03] there we go [07:03] byez [07:03] yeah, i'm on 10.04 but my audio is messed up [07:03] incognito 10.04 is supported for another 14 months... [07:03] hartley: sudo tail -150 /var/log/messages | more [07:03] my problem isnt having a supported os [07:04] i'm trying to figure out why my audio is messing up [07:04] Blue1, no file there either.\ [07:04] when i load a game called runescape into my firefox/chrome, it stops the audio of my rhythmbox [07:04] running lubuntu 11.10 [07:04] Ive noticed that nmap does not support grep, is there a fix? [07:04] g\]\\\+ [07:04] but my firefox/chrome both don't show up my playback devices on my 'pulseaudio volume controller' [07:04] hartley really? [07:04] really [07:04] anybody got a pointer to how to configure language foo to be handled by apache2 in current ubuntu? [07:04] <- sucks at apache [07:05] Would anyone be able to help? [07:05] hartley: tested here works find [07:05] hartley: i find it out that you would have no /var/log/messages [07:06] incognito: do other flash / browser media apps cause this behavior? [07:06] eg, youtube [07:06] yeah, im in the var/log/ now. no messages [07:06] hartley: so if you do a ls there is no messages file? [07:06] олень [07:07] Blue1 but i do have previous dmesg files. Nope, no messages file [07:07] !russian | m-16 [07:07] !ru | m-16 [07:07] m-16: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke.

[07:07] dmesg.0 dmesg.1.gz etc etc [07:07] incognito: go to youtube and see if you have the same problem [07:07] well, when i play this game, my youtube doesn't stream audio either [07:07] ok one sec [07:07] nevermind, I made a stupid mistake [07:07] zyracksis: try rm -r .gconf* then logout/back in [07:08] incognito, in terminal type the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove [07:08] Blue1 thanks though. the log folder is good enough. i can scroll through the previous dmesg and lxdm logs and look for errors. [07:08] hartley: humour me -- do a cat /etc/issue [07:08] zonum: no audio on youtube either [07:09] Blue1: No change [07:09] zorrot* [07:09] Blue1 Ubuntu 11.10 \n \l [07:09] incognito: [07:09] so you're getting no audio in the browser?

[07:09] i have audio for my game, no audio for youtube [07:09] and its in the same browser [07:09] is the volume turned up in the youtube player? [07:09] yes [07:09] lol [07:09] zyracksis: okay try restarting the gdm [07:09] ok, just checking :-) [07:10] zyracksis: sudo service gdm restart [07:10] [07:10] hi guys, how can I get 'nodejs' to run when I type just 'node' in the shell? [07:10] dipix: ran those commands [07:10] w3e got more silly on join spam by - acceptance [07:10] Blue1 its ok. thanks anyways. like i said, ill just go through the logs that are here and look for info. [07:10] Incognito, did it work? [07:10] incognito: doing a little research to see what i can find: you've tried browsers other than firefox, eg, chrome? [07:11] only 1 package had to be upgraded xulrunner [07:11] was it working before the upgrade? [07:11] mattyf, alias? [07:11] mattyf: make a script. or alias [07:11] no i havent zorrot, just firefox, and then i went to chrome [07:11] hartley: okay. I have never seen a *nix system w/o /var/log/messages [07:11] Blue1: "gdm: unrecognised service" [07:11] so it did not work in chrome or firefox. [07:11] ok [07:11] sorry, am new to linux, will search for alias now - thanks! [07:11] and i didnt try before the upgrade, i just knew 9.10 was outdated so i had to update [07:11] zyracksis: what version of ubuntu? [07:11] but it rhythmbox is working? [07:11] Blue1: 11.10 [07:11] when i dont have any browsers up, yes rhythmbox plays music fine [07:12] Неподскажите чем отлечается дестрибутив убунту 11.10 от 12.04? [07:12] ok, so you've done like a big dist upgrade [07:12] ok [07:12] i saw something about your problem for ubuntu 9.1 [07:12] yes, from 9.10 to 10.04 lts [07:12] zyracksis: okay let me think what the gdm is called in 11.10 [07:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136182 [07:12] 11.10 uses lightdm by default [07:12] !upgrade | petroid [07:12] petroid: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [07:12] !gr | petroid [07:12] petroid: #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [07:13] the only reply suggests double-checking your sound / mixer settings [07:13] dr_willis: thanks [07:13] petroid, its english here, russian in #ubuntu-ru [07:13] mattyf, "alias node=nodejs". If you want it to persist across login, put it in your .bashrc [07:13] and sometimes those can be trickier than they look :-) [07:13] mattyf: rockin' node? [07:13] zorrot: my exact problem lol [07:13] bazhang what you see that tells you ru - all I see is zapgat salad... [07:13] mattfy: for a good time, call couchdb :-) [07:14] Blue1: Just tried lightdm, no luck there either [07:14] zyracksis: so you willneed to restart that -- sudo service lightdm restart -- you should have to relogin, and that should re-create the files. [07:14] thanks brightspark! yeah ZorroT - learning nodejs, expressjs, jade (haml) and sass today [07:14] cfhowlett, his .ru host for one [07:14] and couchdb apparrently ;) [07:14] zyracksis: you can try gdm3 but I am 99% sure thats debian [07:14] ZorroT: one second, i'm going to have a look at it. [07:14] bazhang ah. [07:14] Do not tell me what 11.10 to 12.04? [07:14] mattyf: couchdb uses json objects over http as the interface. so you can bump straight from node and get native answers -- no futzing with interpreting database-ese. [07:15] Blue1: LightDM restarted, but it didnt fix the problem [07:15] petroid, I gave you a link on how to upgrade [07:15] zyracksis: did you select gnome when you logged back in? [07:15] Thanks [07:15] can grep be used to remove unwanted text from a line? [07:15] :) [07:16] how do I view the contents of a disc burnt in Apple formats..It contains iDeneb? [07:16] Blue1: Yes [07:16] Incognito, I've just found a thread about your issue, it seems that java is causing the problem, no effective solution yet. I'll keep digging === Bry8Star_ is now known as Bry8Star [07:16] chris__: sed or awk normally for that [07:16] mattyf: http://jsconf.eu/2010/speaker/nodejs_couchdb_crazy_delicious.html [07:16] incognito: good luck :-) [07:16] thanks dipix, i'm going to check the link that zorrot posted to me about applications having direct access to alsa === anonymous is now known as Guest86293 [07:17] zyracksis: for me, when gnome panel gets hosed, I nuke the gconf files, restart the gdm log back in, and re-creates them -- I dunno what they did in 11.10 not running that version. [07:17] then gonna try to run it through pulseaudio before it gets to alsa, ill let you know :) [07:17] Blue1: Alright. Thanks for all your help. I'll see what I can get done with some more googling [07:17] I have a list as follows Host 1.1.1.2 is up (0.79s latency). [07:17] Host 1.1.1.3 is up (0.0020s latency). [07:17] Host 1.1.1.4 is up (0.00012s latency). [07:17] Host 1.1.1.5 is up (0.0061s latency). [07:17] , I would like to strip it to 1 address per line [07:17] chris__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:17] zyracksis: :-( [07:17] would that be sed or awk? [07:18] chris__: awk can do that [07:18] howto hide fast userswitching in main bar [07:19] I'll be right back fellas. [07:20] lotuspsychje: the webupd8 blog site has lots of tweaks and tips. [07:20] Incognito, can you check if you have these two: sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-jre [07:20] chris, in awk, you can set your field separator to and print the second field in each line. that would strip it just down to the address [07:20] dr_willis: ok great lemme take a look [07:20] chris__, ^^ [07:20] yes [07:22] trying to figure out how to do this, im at nmap -sP 1.1.1.2-10 | grep Host | cut -d "Host" | awk" [07:22] oops [07:22] trying to figure out how to do this, im at nmap -sP 1.1.1.2-10 | grep Host | awk [07:24] Im not understanding awk at the moment [07:24] chris__, nmap -sP 1.1.1.2-10 | grep Host | awk '{print $2}' [07:24] !info gnome-tweak-tool [07:24] gnome-tweak-tool (source: gnome-tweak-tool): tool to adjust advanced configuration settings for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 71 kB, installed size 656 kB [07:24] what is $2? [07:25] chris__, the second field. awk treats spaces as separators by default. [07:25] that makes more sense === ksinkar__ is now known as ksinkar [07:25] so the first field is "Host", the second is 1.1.1.2, the third is "is", etc [07:26] is there going to be problems with the $ in php? [07:26] yep [07:27] chris__, I've never touched php. If you're embedding it in a string, most languages require you to escape it [07:27] I was doing $computerstatus = shell_exec('nmap -sP 1.1.1.2-100 | grep Host | awk {print $2}'); [07:27] in php a $ means a variable [07:28] dr_willis: tnx i found it here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html [07:29] chris__, In many situations, you can just put a backslash in front of the $ and it will work [07:30] okay it wasnt the $ it was actually the ' [07:30] chris__, you will also need to precede the space after "print" with a backslash as you removed my quotes [07:30] its fixed now [07:30] yup you got it [07:30] its $computerstatus = shell_exec('nmap -sP 1.1.1.2-100 | grep Host | awk \'{print $2}\''); [07:31] im a bit new, I have been teaching myself [07:31] best way to learn [07:31] Ive actually set up a computer lab of ubuntu on 25 computers [07:31] I can shut then all down with the click of one button [07:32] today, im improving it by not shuting down the computers that are not on, and It will let me know which computers are on [07:33] Im sure you could have done it in 5 minutes, but it took me an entire month to do [07:34] you all took 15 lines of code that took me hours to make and made it into two lines [07:35] how to format a usb [07:35] Hi [07:35] !format [07:35] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [07:35] chris__, i'm flattered but this is the support channel [07:35] keep it on topic, eh [07:36] mkfs.ext4 /dev/usb0 [07:36] I think [07:36] ok [07:36] from my limited understanding, jigdo operates on really sensible principles for publishing ungainly large systems that change incrementally; someone know any particular reason why it's not encouraged on ubuntu?

[07:38] !info jigdo [07:38] Package jigdo does not exist in oneiric [07:39] adminewb: if jigdo isn't working for you, why not use the torrent instead? [07:39] that would be the fallback [07:40] zyracksis, did you change your theme recently? [07:40] the disadvantage being, torrents don't operate on the principle of sending what you haven't already got (incremental change) [07:40] brightspark: I changed my background, but not my theme [07:41] oh well [07:41] zyracksis, it looks like you selected a theme in a temporary folder or removable media. does the problem still happen with xfce? [07:41] if you have that resource available [07:42] brightspark: Haven't tried xfce, I'll give it a shot [07:42] or see if the theme is indeed at fault first [07:43] brightspark: Changing my theme between the default ones doesn't do anything [07:43] zyracksis, is there the option to modify the theme in the current version?

[07:45] zyracksis, under the selection box in my version, there is a button labelled customise- do you have this? [07:45] zyracksis, it allows you to change the icon theme independently of the rest of the theme [07:45] brightspark: I don't have it [07:46] zyracksis, sorry. Anyone know how to change icon themes in the new version? [07:46] #Haystack [07:46] gnome tweak tool can do tht i think brightspark === Guest86293 is now known as ALinfo [07:47] zyracksis, I would try the tool dr_willis mentioned first as it is less invasive than a whole new DE. [07:48] ubuntu-tweak also has icon settings i think [07:48] What on earth prompts gnome to keep removing functionality? [07:49] user frirndlyness [07:50] It's in a configuration menu, and even then you have to launch another configuration menu to find it. It's not exactly intimidating to anyone who doesn't go looking for it. [07:52] future release- gnome's option menu consists of one set of two radio buttons, one to select the canonical purple theme and the other to select ubuntu orange.

[08:41] apt-getter, it's not critical that you do, but go ahead [08:41] yes, I tried it. but it didn't work. I can post the awk'd version of the code.

[08:55] apt-getter, kindly let me know if this is effective at producing only the x-coordinates [08:55] http://www.pastebin.com/pEdAYMKZ [08:56] http://www.jews.didw.tc/proof.php?evidence=4000 4,000 Jews Did Not Go To Work At WTC On Sept. 11 [08:56] http://www.jews.didw.tc/proof.php?evidence=4000 4,000 Jews Did Not Go To Work At WTC On Sept. 11 [08:56] http://www.jews.didw.tc/proof.php?evidence=4000 4,000 Jews Did Not Go To Work At WTC On Sept. 11 [08:56] http://www.jews.didw.tc/proof.php?evidence=4000 4,000 Jews Did Not Go To Work At WTC On Sept. 11 [08:56] would anyone be willing to help me fix my grub install?

[08:57] I can not find Applications>Accessories>Passwords And Encryption [08:57] crackerjackz: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold | pastebinit [08:57] It is effective! Now, what shall I do to get the other coordiantes? [08:58] Ty [08:58] or is there somewhere else I should go for help?

[09:00] and the command apt-cache search paste returns no results with a similar name [09:00] I can't find Applications>Accessories>Passwords And Encryption [09:00] Where can I find this? [09:00] theadmin: perhaps out of date repositories since im on live cd? [09:00] It is effective! Now, what shall I do to get the other coordiantes? [09:00] crackerjackz: You have one too many "in"'s [09:00] crackerjackz: It's pastebinit, not pastebininit [09:01] can someone please help me? I can't find Applications>Accessories>Passwords And Encryption [09:01] apt-getter, just a minute; I want to test out the solution I'm using [09:01] theadmin: it says unable to locate package 'pastebinit' [09:02] crackerjackz: k, run "sudo apt-get update" and try again [09:02] I can't find Applications>Accessories>Passwords And Encryption its not in my main menue [09:02] svrnmnd: check system>preferences or alt+f2 (or open terminal) and type seahorse [09:03] theadmin: still says the samething after running sudo apt-get update [09:03] BC81: thanks man [09:03] np [09:03] crackerjackz: Ok, which Ubuntu version are you on? [09:03] theadmin: 11.04 lts [09:03] apt-getter, you are using ordinary bash, right? nothing funny? [09:03] 32 bit [09:03] crackerjackz: ...There's no 11.04 lts [09:03] crackerjackz: 10.04? [09:04] ordinary [09:04] yes [09:04] crackerjackz: Give me the output of: lsb_release -sc [09:04] apt-getter, http://www.pastebin.com/gsRxFRJv [09:04] that worked on the static file. [09:05] ought to work on your problem [09:05] theadmin: onoric [09:05] accel1 is x, accel2 is y, and accel3 is z? [09:05] oneirc* [09:05] crackerjackz: You're typing things wrong then -- pastebinit is in the repos [09:05] apt-getter, yes. [09:06] theadmin: apt-cache search pastebinit returns no results [09:06] apt-getter, assuming the coordinates it gives are in the order (x,y,z) [09:06] !info pastebinit oneiric | crackerjackz [09:06] crackerjackz: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-2 (oneiric), package size 30 kB, installed size 480 kB [09:07] crackerjackz: See, we haz [09:07] theadmin: i think the reason its not showing up is because im on the live cd? [09:07] theadmin: did he apt-get update first? [09:07] meganerd: yes [09:07] crackerjackz: That wouldn't make much sense, unless... Do you have the universe repo enabled? [09:07] apt-getter, can you confirm or disconfirm that your accelerometer data is ending up where you want it? [09:07] theadmin: hmmm how do i check to see if the universe repo is enabled? [09:08] crackerjackz: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep universe | grep -i '^#' [09:08] Thank you, brightspark! You halped me really much! It works perfectly! God bless you. [09:09] Bye! [09:09] apt-getter, glad to help. Goodnight [09:10] I am in Germany, it's morning 'lol' [09:11] theadmin: it returns no output... what does that mean? [09:11] crackerjackz: Means you don't have it enabled [09:11] theadmin: does it need to be enabled for me to install pastebinit? [09:11] crackerjackz: Yeah, or else... Well, let's figure out a way without pbi because it's annoying to handle repos via cli if you don't know how to lol [09:12] theadmin: well if i can direct the output to a text file then i could scp it to my webserver or something [09:12] crackerjackz: wget http://wgetpaste.zlin.dk/wgetpaste-1 -O wgp && chmod +x wgp && sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold | ./wgp [09:13] crackerjackz: Or you can direct the output to a text file indeed: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold | tee textfile [09:13] theadmin: http://sprunge.us/ [09:14] Ben64: Or that, yeah :D === anonymous is now known as Guest93040 [09:17] Hey I have a list of things and need to make a layout of the pros and cons of each visually in an easy to see manner.. [09:17] playit: use Libreoffice Presentation or a document with a table [09:18] theadmin: its not letting direct the output to the text file.. i tried sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold | errormesg i also tried sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold >>errormesg.txt [09:18] have the bullets be X-marks and checkmarks [09:18] I was using VYM to make a map of different choices they could make and it was looking alright but when i went to export it to html it was way too wide [09:19] thats a good idea shadow511 im good with those just was looking for a more robust solution [09:19] crackerjackz: Are you in a sane directory? That is, do you have permissions to write the the current directory? [09:19] playit: I'm sorry I can't help you further, I've never run into a need for something like that before ^^;; [09:19] or the quickest way to through together something professional .. I liked how in VYM I could have pictures that my clients can click and it takes them to web references etc.. [09:20] thanks for the help [09:20] theadmin: yup its just the home directory [09:20] ill look into what you mentioned as well [09:20] crackerjackz: Weird... [09:20] crackerjackz: Ah, actually, NOT weird [09:21] theadmin: btw i tried the wget paste thing and it complained about the -0 (it didn [09:21] work [09:21] crackerjackz: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold 2>&1 | tee file [09:21] playit: kay, glad to help ^_^ Mindmapping might be better anyway. Have you looked into UML? it's for code, but it could be fedangled to make the diagrams you want [09:21] no I haven't I'll check into it [09:22] vym seemed kind of clunky to me [09:22] the HTML output wasn't what I was expecting .. Not sure how they got standard widths and it was hard to layout as well [09:23] theadmin: okay that time it worked but it only directed the output of the last line it didn't show the whole error message [09:23] Hello. I can't kill process on 11.10 and consider reporting a bug. Can someone tell me what should I include in this report to make it useful? [09:23] playit: yeah, some of the fringe cases in FOSS don't get worked out the cleanest, it's a know issue [09:23] crackerjackz: Huh. Now that's weird. [09:23] barnex: what process? [09:23] compiz [09:23] barnex: Run: ubuntu-bug compiz [09:23] barnex: It will include most info you'll need, you'll only have to describe what happens [09:24] Don't I need some info about kernel? It seems to be the kernel problem. [09:24] thanks for the uml selection.. I would of never knew how to google for that [09:24] theadmin: basically it says can't find ext2 file system on sda3 can't find ext4 file system on sda3.. bogus number or reserved sectors. you must specify the file system type [09:24] thats precisely the kind of solutions im looking for [09:24] Top says that compiz is in 'R' state [09:24] and it just ignores kill -9 [09:24] (when ever i try to mount it that is) [09:24] crackerjackz: Try doing that. [09:24] crackerjackz: What FS is on it? [09:25] theadmin: i'm not sure it was so long ago... i installed linux using wubi though [09:25] do you or anyone else know of any other solutions? Im going to further research UML I just want to make sure theres not an easier direction to take [09:25] UML looks promising for what I want to do [09:25] crackerjackz: Oh, but uh, then it'd be on your Windows partition in some file [09:25] barnex: you might try switching window managers (metacity --replace, compiz --replace) just a suggestion [09:26] ssh client says access denied dont know why ? [09:27] theadmin: there is a seperate partition called linux with some wubi stuff in it.. but i don't see my files [09:27] crackerjackz: You need to mount the actual wubi drive, it's in a file called "root.disk" [09:28] hiya, can anyone help me with changing the default channel on my wlan0/ mon0 antenna? [09:28] theadmin: how do i search all mounted partitions for the file root.disk [09:28] crackerjackz: sudo find -type f -iname 'root.disk' === digital is now known as Guest3560 [09:29] theadmin: it returned no output [09:29] crackerjackz: Well, then the partition isn't mounted [09:30] theadmin: i think it might work this time... i was in the home directory when i ran that command [09:30] i cd'd to / and now its taking longer for the command to return something so im guessing its searching [09:30] crackerjackz: Oh, pardon me: sudo find / -type f -iname 'root.disk' [09:30] crackerjackz: Or yeah, cd to / [09:31] bc81: Hmm, that might work, but i have no idea how to do it - I currently have 2 guest sessions running compiz at 100%, and I'm not logged in neither of them. [09:32] theadmin: okay i found it.. it says /.media/Linux/ubuntu/disks/root.disk [09:32] I can su to those guest, but then when I try metacity --replace I get Window manager error: Unable to open X display :0 [09:32] anonymousinuk, change the default channel, in your Wifirouter. [09:32] crackerjackz: Great, that's the one. Now: sudo mount -o loop /media/Linux/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /mnt/nixold [09:32] barnex: how are you trying to kill compiz? [09:33] sudo kill -9 15384 [09:33] where 15384 is the pid [09:33] thnks, Oheks [09:33] barnex: ok, how about killall compiz? [09:33] barnex: But compiz may have multiple processes... "sudo pkill compiz" will work better [09:34] i just assumed it was the program controlling the channel ! [09:34] well, even if it does have multiple processes, shouldn [09:34] well, even if it does have multiple processes, shouldn't the 15384 be killed anyways? [09:34] theadmin: my files!!!! i love j00!!! [09:34] crackerjackz: lol, uh, thanks I guess :D [09:34] theadmin: thank you so much [09:35] pkill and killall haven't worked [09:35] crackerjackz: np, if you said you're using wubi in the first place you'd have saved me a lot of time :D [09:35] barnex: have you tried restarting X? [09:36] I did sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart [09:36] I believe it restarts X server as well? [09:36] barnex: Yeah it should [09:37] theadmin: actually i did mention wubi in the very first sentence i posted here [09:37] crackerjackz: Ah guess I skipped it, sorry [09:38] theadmin: its all good you helped me plus even though we went through some crap tryin to figure it out you taught me a couple of things i didn't know so not only did you help me get my files but you taught me a couple of things that i didn't know [09:38] barnex: or what about killall -9 compiz [09:38] crackerjackz: It's no problem [09:39] You should charge him. [09:39] bc81: doesn't work. [09:39] ^ actually i think some of you guys should make money answering peoples questions [09:39] your knowledge is worth a lot [09:39] Well, It seems like the program isn't the problem - all of them return 0, so kernel seems to accept the signal [09:40] and something is wrong on the kernel part? [09:41] barnex: the answer here says you can't kill compiz when the Launcher or Unity is running, maybe that's the problem? http://askubuntu.com/questions/47022/how-to-kill-unity-panel-unity-launcher [09:42] ciao [09:43] list [09:43] bc81: hmm, I'm not sure what are the process names of Unity and Launcher, but "ps ax | grep -i unity" lists no processes [09:44] barnex: assuming that you are using the default, have you tried shutting down X? /etc/init.d/lightdm stop [09:45] I don't really understand how ubuntu manages multiple users [09:45] meganerd: yes [09:45] it seems to do some deep magic, pausing all users program when I switch users? [09:45] barnex: not sure about that, although I never use the switch user funstion. [09:46] I noticed that when I switch users while playing music, the music stops [09:46] barnex: pulseaudio runs in a user-based manner, it won't play anything while you're not in the right user session [09:47] I have a usb microphone, how do I set it up? === iqpi|off is now known as iqpi|on [09:48] hi [09:48] barnex: that wouldnt be pausing processes, just pulseaudio doing some muting. [09:48] how do I turn off compiz? [09:49] Ghrim: should be pretty straightforward. plugin it in and select it in the sound properties [09:49] tomodo: at the login screen i think you can select gnome instead from a drop down menu [09:49] oh, thank yo9u [09:50] i dunno if they still have it in the latest release though [09:50] the menu bar in a program (racket) is not showing up.. looks like this http://i.imgur.com/0ApdG.png [09:50] any ideas how to fix it? [09:50] oh wait, my mistake. you said compiz not unity tomodo [09:51] tomodo: It's Unity's fault, trying to use globalmenu with your app and failing :/ [09:51] I was able to turn off unity [09:51] sorry im confused. that would be desktop effects i think [09:51] tomodo: Remove "appmenu-gtk" and "appmenu-qt" if you have those [09:51] how do I turn off globalmenu? [09:51] theadmin: i know this is a little off topic for this channel but by chance would you happen to know where mysql databases get saved by default (like say you run one of those .php install scripts and it sets up the tables and all of that for you) im looking for the db for vxguestbook not sure where its at though [09:51] crackerjackz: Nope no idea [09:52] I am removing them with synaptic [09:52] that didn't solve the problem [09:53] maybe I need to log out and back in [09:53] thanks for your help, I'll go see what happens [09:54] Jaci Poli [09:56] guys, on oneiric, I dont get unity menus on vnc.. I get some file, edit menu on the top.. any solutions? [09:59] thanks for the suggeswtion but when I removed the menubar programs it still has the same bug [09:59] Bonjour [09:59] est ce qu'une personne pourrais m'aider ? [09:59] any other ideas I could try? [10:00] sysco, in what? [10:00] hi [10:00] je suis novice sur linux , je l'ai installer hier , etj'ai voulut voir les différents graphiques de bureau [10:01] la je suis bloquer sur le xfce , pas moyen de fermé ma session [10:01] is it possible that i am so unlucky that i found the only hacker in the world able to do a hardware virus and also he want to destroy me while i am noone?? [10:02] sysco, Ctrl+Alt+Delete [10:02] Zizzu: What are the symptoms anyway? What makes you think you're infected? [10:02] sysco, do you have a panel? [10:02] Spyros non il ne veux pas [10:03] couse he have funny with me, ddos my adsl, crash my network card, change my ubuntu password [10:03] and all this after i format and flash bios [10:03] sysco, tu n'ai pas le panel; [10:04] j'ai juste des icones sur le bureau c'est tous [10:04] !fr | sysco, Spyros [10:04] sysco, Spyros: 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. [10:04] and i am the only 1 which use this computer i am at home he root my computer no stupid friends or someone using my lan, he do this remotely [10:05] sysco, Alt+F2 :: xfce4-panel [10:05] uboottu , désiole si il est pas noté au novice qui debute comment faire pour joindre un fr ! [10:05] merci de ton implication ;) [10:05] wtf i have inside computer? [10:05] hello all [10:06] crackerjackz: mysql tables et al live in /var/lib/mysql [10:06] Zizzu: have you ran rkhunter or similar? [10:06] Zizzu: also, mind your language :-) [10:07] i zero format the computer with dd, flash bios and he enter my computer again [10:07] i have something in the hardware [10:07] Zizzu: you're not getting hacked [10:07] i am [10:07] a lot [10:08] what evidence do you have to support that theory [10:08] the best evidence is he changed my admin password and modified grub, i cant login [10:09] then a 24h on 24 ddos on the adsl [10:09] ubuntu doesn't have a root password by default [10:10] whois zmp [10:10] what that mean, he just change the password, every time im on linux this guy enter it and block the system so i cant use it [10:10] check the logs then, it'd show if someone was accessing you [10:11] Zizzu, hard to believe, look in your room for camera's [10:11] which logs? [10:11] theadmin: the live cd crashed on me.. can you paste to me that mount command again for my wubi disk [10:11] theadmin: its crackerjackz [10:11] yeah it could be my daddy... no this is a hacker group which have fun with me [10:11] ubuntu: sudo mount -o /path/to/root.disk /path/to/mountpoint # Basically. [10:11] its not a hacker [10:11] theadmin: ty [10:12] Zizzu: I doubt it... I would also suggest that you try limiting physical access (for others) to your machine accept for the network connection to try and root out the issue [10:12] i am the only one which use the computer it is my computer in my room in my home [10:13] i have something in the hardware which work like a signal [10:13] :( [10:13] Zizzu stop using wireless keyboard . [10:13] Zizzu: and what, every time you use ubuntu the password get's changed? [10:13] happened 2 times [10:13] Zizzu: Yes, are you using a BT keyboard? [10:13] no [10:14] usb [10:14] Zizzu: and is you password long and secure? [10:14] merci spyro , j'ai reboot la machine car rien ne fonctionnais [10:14] Zizzu: also, do you know if you have ssh installed and/or the openssh server running? [10:14] Zizzu: maybe it's something drive related? I imagine it's possible that every new ubuntu installation with the same partition table uses the same place on the hdd to store the password data [10:14] now if there's some problem with reliably accessing this sector [10:15] it may appear like your password changes? [10:15] longshot [10:15] but hardware virus isn't more probable :P [10:15] its not about the password only its about a group of hackers showing they can find me everywhere i connect and root my computer when they want [10:15] there are no hackers [10:15] Zizzu: it could be your keyboard that's broken. [10:15] Zizzu is it raining outside ? nice day to troll a channel. [10:16] there are, after the password changed i format again and put windows 7, i connect to a game a guy called me and say: NOW U PLAY HE GOOD [10:16] no troll here [10:16] sounds like troll, because what you are saying is impossible [10:17] i know [10:17] yes it really does sound like a troll [10:17] but I HAVE [10:17] sysco, you can always hit :"Ctrl+Alt+F1", then login as sysco, then :"sudo -i" [10:17] Spyros that suggesting that command is a no-no here [10:18] Zizzu: pastebin /var/log/auth.log [10:18] i think it is something in the firmware or bios or all 2 [10:18] theadmin: ty [10:18] what do you mean [10:18] im on windows 7 now cant use linux [10:18] Zizzu: well, don't take this as a personal attack, but if you really aren't trolling and you agree that it's probably impossible... [10:18] how can i check if my system is running on s-ata or ide? [10:18] Is nomodeset option default in grub? [10:18] Zizzu: this is ubuntu support, not paranoid windows 7 support [10:18] orated: Nope, why would it be? [10:18] Maybe it's not computer issue, but mental health one? [10:18] Zizzu: I would suggest that you look into encrypting your HDD and/or look for suspicious vans hanging around outside your house if you are concerned about security [10:19] MonkeyDust, what do you mean? [10:19] Spyros: sudo -i isn't recommended [10:19] srry [10:19] Ben64: How come? That's the recommended way to get the root shell [10:19] it can be dangerous if the user doesn't realize what it does [10:20] Ben64: Well, if the user runs commands without realizing what they do... [10:20] heh [10:20] most people don't know [10:20] the whole login/profile issue isn't really that obvious [10:21] I just recently learned it because i had to for ruby version manager [10:23] anyone know if the bios hash should be the same of the rom filw which i used to flash it after i restart the computer, or is it normal that it is different [10:24] goobye all, have a good night (in Aus atleast) [10:24] Zizzu: hi, this channel is for ubuntu support only, can you please keep to that topic [10:25] Can anyone help me install gimp 2.7.4? compile and install? I asked on #gimp but nobody seems to be able to help me [10:25] Bubo: why can you not use the version that is in the repo [10:25] i know this channel is about ubuntu but this virus is the best virus ever and ubuntu is not immune to this kind of virus u know [10:25] Because of unmet dependencies.. people have been trying to help me (here in this channel) many times and nobody seems to be able to fix it [10:25] Zizzu: unless your question is an ubuntu support question, please keep it out of this channel [10:25] Bubo: why compile? There seems to be ppa for it? [10:25] the repo gives me 2.7.5 [10:25] Zizzu: please stop it now, i told you an hour ago that it is offtopic [10:26] ikonia: how find any thing using and then grep using anything from all search like i try this find / -name python | grep python [10:26] i need 2.7.4 which is working [10:26] oh [10:26] 2.7.5 still isnt wokring in ubuntu 11.10 [10:26] Zizzu: go to ##hardware or something like that [10:26] !work | Bubo [10:26] Bubo: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [10:26] Bubo: and why do you need it? [10:26] Bubo: unless you are using external repos / PPA's the version in the ubuntu repo will not complain of failed dependencies [10:26] I said i have asked here for help many times, and few people tried to help me but i end up formatting [10:27] Bubo: what version of ubuntu are you using [10:27] ikonia 11.10 [10:27] and yes it complains of failed dependencies [10:27] a few dozen of them [10:27] Bubo: do you have any 3rd party repos or PPA's ? [10:27] its a new version of gimp, it came out few days/weeks ago [10:27] Bubo: do you have any 3rd party repos or PPA's ? [10:27] Yes [10:27] Bubo: that will most likley be the cause of your problems [10:27] PPA's :( [10:27] http://alcides-mp.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/gimp-2.7.4-linux-amd64.7z - there seems to be binary for x64 versions, but installing binaries from untrusted sources isn't recommended [10:27] when it was 2.7.4 in the repo, it installed fine (with the same PPA's) [10:28] Bubo: they will be creating (most likley) the cause of your conflicts [10:28] !info gimp [10:28] now i have those same PPA's and gmip 2.7.5 isnt installing [10:28] gimp (source: gimp): The GNU Image Manipulation Program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.11-2ubuntu4 (oneiric), package size 4644 kB, installed size 13456 kB [10:28] Bubo: gimp 2.6 is the 11.10 version [10:28] I searched on google, and some other people have been having the same problem with 2.7.5 [10:28] Bubo what is being said is: remove the PPA's to solve the problem(s) [10:28] Bubo: please focus on what I'm saying [10:29] MonkeyDust: that is not what is being said [10:29] MonkeyDust: removing a PPA at this time will do nothing [10:29] how we can use the find and grep command together [10:29] ppa-purge? [10:29] shadowh511: no [10:29] Bubo: the version of gimp in ubuntu 11.10 is 2.6 - where are you getting 2.7 from ? [10:29] ppa-purge should remove the broken dep'd gimp [10:29] theadmin: Afaik setting "nomodeset" disables KMS which would end up giving VT's native resolution? I only wanted to confirm as I forgot the what original grub option was after recent changes. Could you link me to any article describing all the grub options? [10:29] shadowh511: no, it won't [10:29] Hi, could someone propose to me a light window manager with regular minimize, maximize and close buttons, that is NOT preinstalled in one of the [k|x|l|ed]ubuntu variants? [10:30] ikonia: it does for me :P [10:30] alkisg jwm is very light [10:30] Thank you MonkeyDust [10:30] orated: Sorry, nope, and all I know is that nomodeset helps if your X is acting up xD Not sure what it really does, sorry === marco is now known as Guest72258 [10:30] ikonia 2.7.x is an unstable version (but 2.7.4 works on ubuntu 11.10 and supports single-window mode which 2.6.x dosent) [10:30] alkisg: openbox ftw? [10:30] orated: why not check the grub site? [10:30] Bubo: please stop answering questions I'm not asking [10:30] alkisg: also look up awesome [10:30] I cant use 2.6 because it doesnt allow me to open 2.7.x [10:30] Bubo: please answer the questions I am asking [10:30] Bubo: where did you get gimp 2.7 [10:30] From gimp.org [10:30] theadmin: I'd agree, but I want to run it inside Xephyr inside the same user session, so if the user runs lubuntu, I'm worrying about conflicts... === CPhoenix_ is now known as CPhoenix [10:31] Bubo: how did you install it ? from a deb package or by compiling it ? [10:31] You add a repository [10:31] What's the correct way to change the PATH system-wide? Looks like /etc/login.defs but when I make changes there, I'm not seeing them reflected in new logins. [10:31] and it gives you the latest unstable which is now 2.7.5 (doesnt work) [10:31] Thank you shadowh511, I'll check that too [10:31] Bubo: ok - to that repository will be downloading dependencies that are causing the conflict [10:31] 2.7.4 worked and installed easily [10:31] alkisg: no problem [10:31] alkisg: I... kind of understand what you're talking about. Hm, okay then, fluxbox? [10:31] alkisg: what do you consider regular minimize/maximize and close? is this ok: http://bluetile.org/images/bluetile_screenshot2.png ? [10:31] Bubo: well unstable is exactly that === SpaceMonkey is now known as zehshi [10:32] Yes but 2.7.4 didnt had any problems, but 2.7.5 does [10:32] Bubo: if the package is causing conflicts you need to either a.) stop using the external repos b.) conact the owner of those repos and ask them to resolve them for you [10:32] barnex: ...it's not very pretty but it does the work :) [10:32] and they changed to 2.7.5 in the repository 2 weeks ago i think [10:32] Bubo: yes, and the gimp PPA broke something [10:32] Bubo: you installed unstable software, it eats children from time to time [10:32] Bubo: we cannot fix external packages - contact the package maintainers [10:32] ikonia [10:32] alkisg: well, that's bluetile - basically xmonad preconfigured to play nicely with gnome [10:32] I downloaded 2.7.4 version and i asked if someone can help me compile it [10:32] Bubo: that is the very nature of unstable, updates break things [10:32] that version is working on ubuntu 11.10 without any problems [10:33] Bubo: that is a terrible idea [10:33] I used it for a while and then moved to xmonad with my own config, it's really awesome. [10:33] Bubo: not really on topic, and probably more effort than it is worth. [10:33] Hm... I really should try xmonad too [10:33] Bubo: I strongly advise you to talk to the gimp package maintainers and ask them for assitance, you will probably get reasonable help [10:34] theadmin meganerd: I said it wrong.. those are linux options. Grub only helps them to pass [10:34] theadmin: yes you should :-). Editing haskell configs when you don't know first thing about haskell is painful though [10:34] barnex: Ah... hm, then I'd rather stick to i3 where configs are a pretty obvious language :D [10:34] Ok thank you [10:35] orated: then the kernel source is probably where you want to look. There are a lot of options [10:35] meganerd: Yes, searching. Thanks [10:35] theadmin: what language is that? [10:36] barnex: Not sure really, but it's just understandable just from looking at the default config [10:36] oh ok, so it's more like a proper config, not a program? [10:36] I really like the idea of programming my config [10:36] so I can change the bindings depending on layout for instance [10:37] barnex: Ah... Hm, say, do you know any wms which would use Perl and/or Ruby for configs? [10:37] or the desktop or the running apps [10:37] awesome would be better then [10:37] it uses a lua config file [10:37] orated: there is a Documentation folder in the kernel source [10:37] theadmin: I used wmii few years ago, don't know if it's still maintained [10:37] barnex: Think it is [10:37] it used ruby afair [10:37] barnex: Not so sure though [10:37] find . -name "pinax" -exec grep "pinax" {} \\ ; -print [10:37] i have error on bash with exec and print [10:38] cloudgeek: find . -iname "pinax" -exec grep \{\} \; [10:38] meganerd: ew at this \{\}... Just use '{}', seriously :D [10:38] I don't really love xmonad and haskell is painful, but it lets me use the gnome 3 panels and indicators. [10:38] And i really like those. === companion is now known as Companion [10:38] meganerd: working :) , what is error in that [10:38] oh, it's /etc/environment [10:39] theadmin: :) [10:39] cloudgeek: { and } are special characters in bash, gotta escape them [10:39] Hi, I'm running x-swat nvidia drivers on ubuntu 10.10 and i experience freezes while playing some youtube movies. Does anyone know why this happens, seems to be related to hardware acceleration. Anyone that has experienced this and solved it? [10:39] theadmin: okay , it help undersatnd better unix [10:39] Pepp-elito: your best bet is to contact the x-swat repos maintainers, log a bug and work with them to resolve it [10:40] Pepp-elito: what version ubuntu? 32 or 64 bit? what browser? [10:40] Ben64, I'm runnig 32-bit ubuntu 10.10 === pksadiq` is now known as pksadiq [10:41] Pepp-elito: hm, i have no problems on 64 bit 10.04 with that driver [10:41] Ben64: you must realise what little value that offers, different hardware, [10:41] yeah well, its close [10:41] nvidia drivers are binaries, they don't really vary [10:42] Ben64: but hardware and compatability does [10:42] What's more up to date, as in wont require more updates when it's installed, the LTS.something or the 11.10 ? [10:42] Ben64, I think it might be related to my hardware setup. I'm running a zotac nd-22, which has nvidia ION. I think this is both an nvida chip and an intel chip, but i'm not sure.. [10:42] seems more likely that its a flash issue [10:42] Name141: The latest (Oneiric, 11.10) [10:42] Pepp-elito: have you tried turning hardware acceleration off from flash? [10:42] Name141: Well, you'll still need to update, but it's more up-to-date anyway [10:43] theadmin: OK. My unlimited hours are about up is why (stupid ISP caps) [10:43] Name141: Try the minimal CD [10:43] Name141: That way you can install only what you really need/want [10:44] theadmin: I'm going to use wubi. [10:44] Name141: ew, why? [10:44] wubi :( [10:44] How can I get indicator for banshee in gnome 3.2 shell? [10:45] Sorry everyone, I'll see y'all in 3 hours and 15 minutes -- going to take a nap.

Not very fast. [11:09] Supreme: I do it in little over 3 minutes [11:09] Supreme: I have no idea what normal is [11:09] GriGi: not sure, but if you experiment, you can just rename that file to login.keyring.old (or something) [11:09] hcuongvn: there is mine backup .bashrc but from debian http://pastie.org/3407252 [11:09] bc81: Thanks, that's good idea :).

[12:01] ppl, once upon a time I have seen (and even installed!) slackware with enlightment version 6 or 7, the version that has some steam-punk visuals, yet it has sound scheme with nice effects like - closing window via pressing [x] button gave blast sound etc. does somebody remember this enlightment version , ever used, and know how to install it on xubuntu instead of xfce?:) [12:01] i got it [12:01] I have to burn video in dvd. Which is the best s/w available for it in ubuntu? [12:01] steven__: you can /join #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [12:01] tMH, you mean 16/17? [12:02] got it [12:02] lol [12:02] bazhang - that version was on 1999/2000 years I suppose, because I used to install slackware in mar'00 [12:02] tMH, enlightment is in the repos. but theres been a lot of changes to it over the years. so that old them may not work any more. [12:02] Dr_willis - pityful :/ [12:03] I always found enightment - overhyped.. [12:03] but - someone have seen _that_ version? [12:03] with bars like on caterpillar (warning drawing, yellow/black etc) [12:03] yellow/black bars on top of window.. [12:03] Theres enlightment theme sites out there. [12:03] @oCean if general chat is in offtopic channel and there is less than 20 users in there where do ppl actually chat omn here? [12:03] Dr_willis - really? url?

[12:07] http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/enlightenment [12:07] Dr_willis - well, you have to understand - on '98/'99 there were no much themes and e7 (or e8) was a big blast in visual/soundFX :) [12:07] I rember the E craze... and thought it sad back then.

For 11.10, see !notunity [12:08] !notunity [12:08] 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 [12:08] !GNOME [12:08] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal.

[12:10] ah [12:10] Unless its unity-2d :) [12:10] lol [12:10] I knew that [12:11] Dr_willis, I see the grub menu, boots to dual booted xp fine, I get use alt +f kets to get a terminal, and have worked through several threads on ubuntu forums before coming here [12:11] ??constr [12:11] ops, sorry, wrong channel [12:11] * rymate1234 will be afk [12:11] I've edited the grub.confg to boot in 600x400 but I still get out of range [12:12] irvken, if you see the grub menu.. then thats the grub configs you tweaked.. that does NOT affect the X desktop res.

[15:22] thanks [15:23] hmm hi all [15:23] small question [15:23] i have 16gb of ram in my system [15:23] but for some reason ubuntu shows only 3.5 [15:23] @ Shedevil. With a single 4gig stick it next upgrade could be 8 [15:23] beasty: Yes, install Ubuntu-64 [15:23] beasty, 64bit system installed? [15:23] you need 64 bit [15:24] BlouBlou: no this is a 32 bit system [15:24] ok [15:24] beasty: a 32-bit system with 16GB of RAM? [15:24] yes [15:24] beasty: that seems unlikely. [15:24] beasty: It won't detect 16 then, you need the 64-bits edition [15:24] install the pae kernel then beasty [15:24] bazhang: ? [15:25] !pae | beasty [15:25] beasty: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [15:25] LjL, it only shows 3.5 [15:25] bazhang: right, but when instructed to install 64-bit Ubuntu, he said it's a 32-bit system. i have my doubt a pure 32-bit system would have 16GB of RAM. [15:25] hi there, how could I know If I can use special setting on my video card, for example ARB_SYNC? [15:25] why is he using 32-bit OS though, downloaded the wrong .iso by accident or has a 32 bit proc? [15:25] jest ktos z pl?

[15:27] beasty: I recommend you going to ubuntu.com website and downloading the 64-bits edition [15:27] download the 64-bit .iso [15:27] bc81: If you are interested, I had to add your fix and 'unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS' to my vnc xstartup file to get a deaktop [15:28] beasty, your choice. one means total reinstall [15:28] http://tippy.org/2012/ubuntu-unity-11-10-windows-slow-and-laggy-with-ati-and-nvidia-gpus/ [15:28] would that make impact on my c and java development ?

Serial login and SSH successful, VNC is almost done, and liveCD is to come. [15:36] well I've been reading about how to get the sound from the client comps onto the host comp over LAN as well [15:36] never experimented with that :P [15:36] and I think pulseaudio will do that [15:36] but I want the host machine to be windows [15:37] why not just use a 3.5mm cable? [15:37] speaker out > line in [15:37] that would work if I only had one client comp... but I have 3 [15:37] ah [15:37] or could I daisy chain them....? [15:37] yeah i tihnk you could [15:38] just make sure all your levels are the same going across [15:38] so line out from the 2nd PC would be carrying 1st and 2nd PC audio to line in on 3rd host PC? [15:38] FesterJester: nice! you'll be done in time for the next LTS (very soon i think april 2012?) good luck [15:38] yes [15:38] afaik that should work [15:39] ok that may work for stero, but what about 7.1 surround [15:39] lol no it wont [15:39] bc81: Lol, yeah. Then I might have to redo it with that LTS. If it doesn't have the goofy Ubuquity desktop. I dislike it.

[16:09] SmashingX: "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" is the command line version [16:10] well ok i know but how to lets say mount /dev/sdd2 [16:10] cool thans [16:10] as an example [16:10] thanks [16:10] i would like to have the foreign device as if it was on the local macine [16:10] monohedron: that won't work [16:10] zykotick9:if I do sudo apt-get upgrade atferwards it will know automatically what programs need to be updated? [16:10] monohedron: yes but do you simply want to look at nautilus on remote machine and see a mounted disk ? or do you want to type : ssh://server/mnt/sdd2 ? [16:11] hi. Is there a terminal command that lets me see what hardware is in my laptop? I need to know the make and model of my wireless card to I can find a driver for it. [16:11] monohedron: `ssh @` [16:11] SmashingX: i'm unclear on your followup question??? [16:11] monohedron: if you want them to look like local devices then you need to look into nfs [16:11] ok that will do it for drives or is that possible for for al devies types [16:11] monohedron: or smbfs or sshfs [16:11] How can I change the password for a different user from root? I've forgotton it.

[16:13] zykotick9: so just the database, but to update the program? [16:13] SmashingX: software center? ppa? a zip file? a tar ball? [16:13] SmashingX: "sudo apt-get upgrade" will upgrade everything [16:13] airtonix: software center [16:14] SmashingX: then you won't get a new version. [16:14] thanks zykotik9, that did it. I have a broadcom BCM4306 [16:14] ubuntu at devices that are no drives [16:14] I'm having troubles installing Ubuntu 11.04 on a Mac Book Pro. Using the alternate cd, when setup starts up, it fails to recognize the cd(rom) and to mount it. [16:14] SmashingX: technically my last statement was a lie - "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will upgrade everything (same as GUI update manager) [16:14] ok that was what my followup question was about [16:14] i know how to mount a drive but how could i take a speaker along or a mouse or a keyboard [16:14] SmashingX: you would either need to look if the filezilla provides a ppa with the latest version of research how to install from tar.gz [16:14] or * [16:15] airtonix: why it has to be such a pain to upgrade a software :( [16:15] monohedron: speaker and keyboard are possible but handled by two other programs/protocols [16:15] hi there, how do install cinnamon on ubuntu , exactly ??? [16:15] SmashingX: as opposed to what? [16:15] !cinnamon [16:15] airtonix: other OS? [16:15] <_raven> where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset imported files)) [16:16] monsterripper: when others have asked, they've typically gotten a "not supported" reply, but i don't personally have any idea... (i don't even really know what cinnamon is, is that mint's new interface?) [16:16] SmashingX: windows doesn't have apt-get upgrade, macosx doesn't have the massive library of apt-get repos. [16:16] airtonix, isn't there a standard way of 'mounting' devices across machines ? [16:16] zykotick9: yep... [16:16] monohedron: NFS for file systems [16:16] SmashingX: yes. nfs. [16:17] to update you just have to download the newest version, install it and it will automatically replace the old version [16:17] monohedron: you may also appreciate autofs [16:17] zykotick9, don't mind file systems i kno how to do that [16:17] airtonix, hmm let me have a look [16:17] Hm, how can I change admin accounts? I wnat to delete an account, but I can't because it says that that user is the only system admin O.o [16:17] monohedron: for other devices, i don't thik it's possible [16:17] SmashingX: thats one program... wait till you have to manage 100s of computers at once... now repeat your single action again 100 times. [16:18] SmashingX: seriously... installing and managing software on linux is alot easier than windows or macosx [16:18] Seryth: add your user to the "admin" group (which permits sudo access) [16:18] airtonix: well for me it's useful because in that cas I'm only updating the software I'm really using [16:18] airtonix: why would you upgrade software you don't use? [16:18] SmashingX: which is why i said "find a ppa that provides the latest version of filezilla" [16:18] zykotick9: how? [16:18] airtonix: s/linux/ubuntu/ try slackware and say linux is easier for installing software ;) [16:18] SmashingX: ? i wouldn't upgrade software i don't use... because i wouldn't have it installed. [16:19] <_raven> where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset scanned files) [16:19] airtonix: but with that I have to add it to a file that I don't remember the name, and the run many commands after I did a lot of research abou it [16:19] Seryth: i'm not going to reply. So either ask the channel how, or do some research. [16:19] Woah woah woah! 1485 chatters here! [16:19] SmashingX: and with macosx and windows you have to remember all individual the places all your software came from when you need to update them ... [16:19] airtonix: I'm pretty sure 90% of the people has at least 1 program in their computer they used to use it but not anymore [16:20] zykotick9: Uh, okay.... [16:20] SmashingX: i'm not sure what your point is. or how that's a bad thing about apt-get [16:21] SmashingX: 1. add ppa. 2. use software. 3. somewhere in future run : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade 4. relish as all upgradable software is upgraded [16:21] airtonix: well my point is why it has to be such a pain to upgrade a program as you asked.. as opposed to lets say windows [16:21] SmashingX: that "software i don't use" includes things like your drivers that you want updated to fix bugs/errors. along with a plethora of other useful updates. [16:21] module000: +1 [16:22] Gparted dont detect partitions. why? [16:22] royale1223: what type? [16:22] module000: drivers? I just install drivers when I install my OS, and then I forget about them [16:22] SmashingX, you mean why would someone update software they dont use thats installed? Pretty simple answer to that [16:22] celthunder: /dev/sdb sata [16:22] SmashingX: last time i had to upgrade software on a windows machine it took me all afternoon... that's just one machine... same operation on my linux gaming laptop takes 30mins [16:22] royale1223: do you have the fs tools installed for the partition type/mbr/gpt stuff [16:22] celthunder: everything in it [16:23] celthunder: tried deleting gpt via gdisk, no use [16:23] SmashingX: and since you normally forget about them, that's precisely why you benefit from them being updated by someone who is watchful enough(your OS) to *not* forget about them. this is a non-argument, install windows if this makes no sense. [16:23] SmashingX: perhaps there are some variable you aren't taking into account. Updates in Ubuntu ONLY fix bugs and security issues, that's it - you don't get NEW versions of stuff. [16:23] SmashingX: btw why are you use filezilla when nautilus does ftp and sftp/ssh better [16:23] zykotick9: unless you add ppa [16:23] <_raven> where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset scanned files) [16:23] airtonix: right, and PPA's are unsupported 3rd party [16:23] _raven: somewhere in ~/.config/ [16:24] celthunder: this happend when i was using testdisk to recover a deleted partition [16:24] zykotick9: I think that's a good point [16:24] How can I add a user to the admin group? I currently have two users, and I tried to delete one of them, but got an error saying that it's the only user in the admin group, and deleting it would screw everything up. How can I switch admin to the other user, so I can delete the one I want to? [16:24] zykotick9: But I also think there are also some improvements [16:24] airtonix, in WIndows and MacOSX you don't have to wait FOUR months to upgrade your ENTIRE system to get a new version of a program [16:24] _raven: i always pointed rhythmbox to a directory with one or two files, rescanned, the switched back to regular music directory and rescanned [16:24] royale1223: lol don't delete partitions you still want...gl [16:25] czx: i don't have to wait four months on linux either. [16:25] czx: it's great isn't it! :) [16:25] Linux tip for beginners in the terminal try: locate file-I-am-looking-for [16:25] <_raven> zykotick9 ok ill try that tnx [16:25] yes, if you can afford playing with git and compiler [16:25] royale1223: i didnt. i recoverd the deleted partition. they are rw from nautilus. but gparted dont detect them [16:25] airtonix: mhhh I find Filezilla easier to use [16:26] czx: who said anything about git? [16:26] celthunder: : i didnt. i recoverd the deleted partition. they are rw from nautilus. but gparted dont detect them [16:26] SmashingX: that's strange i find it frustratingly difficult to use. [16:27] airtonix: what's the main point why you find it easier? [16:27] celthunder: and because gparted dont work i cant install ubuntu on it. [16:27] SmashingX: it's the same interface that i use to operate on local files. [16:27] celthunder: i can read write the files very well. Its just the gparted. [16:27] airtonix: well let me give it a try [16:28] airtonix: the bad thing about it is that I will have to lear the different functions to use [16:28] SmashingX: is there some special feature that filezilla has? [16:29] Anyone around running Ubuntu on a recent MacBook Pro? [16:29] svg: yes. [16:29] svg: 8,2 macbook pro. [16:29] celthunder: are you still there buddy/ [16:29] I'm having troubles installing Ubuntu 11.04 on a Mac Book Pro. Using the alternate cd, when setup starts up, it fails to mount it the cdrom [16:30] svg: yeah i went back to 10.10 [16:30] royale1223: no ideas lol [16:30] svg: try usb installer. www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [16:30] svg: but i actually installed from usb i think. [16:30] celthunder: thanks anyway. [16:30] svg: but you have to prepare the usb as a hfs or something [16:30] royale1223: try to do it from a terminal (start gparted) or use parted or fdisk see if you can get the error [16:31] This sounds like the right module isn't loaded for cdrom access [16:31] I am having trouble with my wifi card. My internet connection is noticeably slower on ubuntu than on windows. Any suggestions on where to start? [16:31] ok, trying to install a new graphic card and ran into problems. the gui doesn't work, so i am stuck in terminal (not to savey there). i am trying to get computer to update the system through ppa, but it only reads what is needed and doesn't download them...how to i get it to download the needed files? [16:31] celthunder: no errors on fdisk [16:33] airtonix: not special feature but as I said sometimes you stick to a program because you know how it works and you know where to find anything you need easily, even thought others find it difficult to use (like in our case) [16:33] celthunder: fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/847420/ [16:34] SmashingX: i think i really like the idea of having my ssh and ftp servers bookmarked in nautilus right there next to my other stuff... (plus once mounted they are actually accesible through ~/.gvfs/server name/path/to/stuff/on/remote/machine/ [16:34] SmashingX: smb included [16:35] an advice to all people out here. never ever give ubuntu-tweak root permissions. it will f*** up your installation. [16:35] Hello; I'm looking for input/ideas on where to start looking for a linux happy way for my cousin to use a bar code scanner in his t-shirt/printing shop. [16:36] airtonix: anyway, it sucks that I can't edit my menus [16:36] can you tell me how to get an update in terminal? sudo apt-get update only reads what is needed and doesn't download... [16:36] SmashingX: did you try ther other method? [16:36] purplefool, sudo apt-get upgrade [16:36] * czx confused with an eternal covil war in ubuntu community [16:36] SmashingX: or did you only try with alt + f2 === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [16:36] purplefool: sudo apt-get upgrade [16:37] airtonix: what other method sorry I missed that [16:37] purplefool: sudo aptitude full-upgrade (or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) .. [16:37] purplefool: i use sudo apt-fast upgrade . much faster [16:37] SmashingX: open up the gnome-shell overview: (press windows key) or move mouse to top left corner of screen, or press 'activities' [16:37] ack! only misspelled it?!? dam! hate spelling! [16:37] SmashingX: then type menu [16:38] royale1223: apt-fast? [16:38] thx for answer [16:38] rymate1234: yea, uses axel or aria2c instead of wget [16:38] SmashingX: if you don't have an entry called "main menu" (which you should since it comes installed by default), then open a terminal and type : sudo apt-get install alacarte [16:39] airtonix: Main Menu? [16:39] yeah [16:39] I see it [16:39] SmashingX: run it. [16:40] mmhh I tried but nothing happens [16:40] purplefool: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade [16:40] appmenu maybe? [16:40] no mbr/partition editing wizards out here? i need the help of one. === rymate1234 is now known as ___ [16:40] <___> :( === ___ is now known as _____ [16:41] <_____> hai === alien_ is now known as Guest60564 [16:41] royale1223, whats the question. ask the channel please [16:41] hello [16:41] Gparted dont detect partitions. why? === _____ is now known as rymate1234 [16:42] royale1223: what partitiont able type [16:42] fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/847420/ [16:42] royale1223, from the live cd? [16:42] royale1223: how many partitions do you have? [16:42] danileigh79: i have 2 sata. prob is with sdb2 [16:42] bazhang: yep [16:43] module000: ext4 logical [16:43] royale1223: no what type of *table* is it. [16:43] royale1223: gpt, msdos, ? [16:43] module000: msdos, i deleted gpt data [16:43] royale1223: what does `parted` show? [16:43] I have a problem with my mouse. In Ubuntu 11.10 everything is fine until I click anything in the Dock on the left. Then I cant click at anything in the Windows and around. The only thing I can do is to open new applications. So the keyboard works fine and I can open the terminal. Also I have to start it ALWAYS with nomodeset. 32bit also had that with 64bit === Companion is now known as companion [16:44] module000: 1 sec [16:44] Masterlorn: Laptop touch, usb, or ps2 mouse? [16:44] airtonix: I had to insall alacarte because they didn't run, now it works, thanks! [16:44] USB Mouse === companion is now known as Companion [16:45] its a saitek cyborg rat 3 and there are no linux specified drivers for it [16:45] Masterlorn: wired or wireless [16:45] is there a new command syntax for ppa-purge? [16:45] danileigh79: wired [16:45] royale1223, what did you use to remove the gpt table? [16:45] i want one i want one .... http://direct.tesco.com/product/images/?R=215-0673&tn=/3/SS12215-0673TPS1311741.jpg [16:45] Masterlorn: Laptop or desktop? [16:45] module000: parted cant print /dev/sdb [16:45] escott: gdisk [16:46] danileigh79: desktop [16:46] airtonix: ok, I solved it by dd'ing my iso on a USb stick and manually mounting that on /cdrom. Installer goes on fine after that. [16:46] module000: parted http://paste.ubuntu.com/847433/ [16:47] royale1223: your geometry is fubar on that drive [16:47] is there a new command syntax for ppa-purge? [16:48] module000: i dont see anything wrong with geo. can you please point it out? [16:48] Masterlorn: what's lsusb say? [16:48] royale1223: well parted *thinks* your geometry is the problem. it thinks one of the partition bounds is outside the total range of the disk [16:48] danileigh79: what is what saying? :D im completely new to linux sry ^^ [16:49] Masterlorn: sype lsusb into a seperate terminal [16:49] module000: thats for sda. my issue is with sdb. parted dont even list sdb. [16:49] royale1223: i dont' know how to fix that though, if it was me i would export the partitions, re-create the table, then import my data partitions. there could be an easier way but i don't have experience with it [16:49] Masterlorn: I have to leave very soon though [16:49] If I build a proxy server does it give same/my IP address to all who logs in? [16:49] royale1223: oh, i was thinking of sda [16:49] royale1223, 500GB drives are rarely actually 500GB [16:49] module000: but fdisk does [16:49] maybe i can lend a laptop for short so that i can ubuntu while youre helping me [16:50] compdoc: so? i dont understand. [16:50] Masterlorn: I'm sorry, I can't wait.... I have to leave [16:50] so I doubt you have those numbers right [16:50] damn [16:50] royale1223: i would still try exporting my data partitions and recreating the table, i'm not sure how to fix that. your libparted version isn't old by any chance? [16:51] compdoc: i'm not talking about 500gig disk. problem is with the 320 gig. [16:51] i'm booting from 12.04 live cd. no way libparted is old [16:51] royale1223: yea that's new....I don't know what is causing that [16:52] how do i export data partition and recreate table? any guide available? [16:52] royale1223: oh, just `dd` them [16:53] royale1223: dd them all out, then `mktable` within parted to create a fresh table, then re-create the partitions and `dd` them back onto the disk [16:54] module000: so i need another 320gig hdd to copy? right? [16:54] royale1223: yes, or larger. before you do this, you might want to ask in #linux, there could be a solution i don't know about before you spend an hour or more importing/exporting data [16:54] hi === Astrid is now known as masterlorin [16:54] Anyone with a Zenbook + ubuntu? [16:55] module000: sadly i dont have another 320 gig. [16:55] module000: thanks for your help. very educating. any other ideas? [16:55] royale1223: definitely check ##linux for any solutions i'm missing then. or look at just salvaging the specific data you need [16:55] hey [16:56] \list [16:56] module000: sure. thanks. i'll try ##linux [16:56] how can i switch to a german irc-server? [16:56] module000: or is it #linux? [16:56] probiotic, #ubuntu-de [16:57] probiotic: by finding one, or joining the right channel here on freenode [16:57] royale1223: both will take you to the same spot, ##linux [16:57] bazhang, thank you! [16:57] i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version [16:57] ^^as bazhang said [16:57] module000: okay, thanks [16:58] guys, I've got an easy question for you. I'm transfering a ton of files from my old computer to my new computer (about 65 gigs) and I'm using WINSCP though wine, the window froze in winSCP although the timer is going up...how can I tell if a folder is being written to in ubuntu so I can see if I need to restart the transfer? [16:58] i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version [16:59] codemonkey1337 use could use watch ls -l your_foldeer [17:00] typos* [17:00] MonkeyDust: I did, it lists all folders as being 4096 bytes [17:01] codemonkey1337 it's watch -d to see the progress [17:02] man page watch - execute a program periodically, showing output fullscreen. I get an error whenever I run the command. Backup isn't an executable [17:03] hi all [17:04] hi pcreux [17:05] how is ub version 11.10 working so far? I'm still a chicken and running 10.04 with backports [17:06] codemonkey1337: winSCP through wine? Why? There are several scp native gnu/linux clients, including scp from cli (the -r switch is pretty handy). But good luck. [17:06] codemonkey1337: yea you need only nautilus [17:06] Since I upgraded my Ubuntu it now hangs on boot. The screen goes blank and nothing happens. It works if I boot to recovery mode, then do a fsck, then resume boot. Here is the syslog of when it just simply stopped: http://pastie.org/3408901 . Could anyone have a quick look to see if there's anything obvious there? [17:07] i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version [17:07] codemonkey1337: only win users need winscp [17:08] codemonkey1337 and rsync is faster than cp or scp [17:08] Is syslog the file I need to be looking at? [17:08] i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version [17:08] i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version [17:08] sacarlson: after 10.04LTS Ubuntu is VERY different.

[17:22] make sure you're allowing tcp/80 on your outside interface. [17:22] LukeNukem: you are saying ports and they - for default Web, it's just port 80.

[17:25] i dont like debian, they ban me [17:26] LukeNukem: can a computer on the local network connect?

[17:39] also is it possible to connect windows 7 to ubuntu remotely or not possible? [17:39] w7u64xi7: TeamViewer is the easiest way. You can also use VNC.

[17:42] MonkeyDust, thanks, im reading up now. [17:42] I have a box that we use as flight recorder (full packet capture). dual nics, one in promisc mode. We need to be able to connect to a network share but when eth1 is put up in promisc mode, it takes the ip of eth0 by default and adds a GW. This makes it impossible for us to connect to the network share because routing is going nowhere. I know we can either remove the ip address using ip addr del or delete the route, but I cannot fi [17:42] out how to do it on start up. Which script is run dead last, so I can append my command line to it? [17:42] Ampelbein: should i start it as root or as the user gnome runs as?

See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [17:43] no_gravity: never as root [17:43] MonkeyDust, the fragmentation is bewildering sometimes. it makes it hard to talk about anything with all the codenames changing all the time. [17:43] w7u64xi7: Well, there are too many ways to do it [17:43] f10w3r5: can't you just ssh in? [17:43] no_gravity: It WILL mess up your configuration when started as root. [17:44] I need help to configure https on apache2. who can help me? [17:44] Ampelbein: i dont see "keyrings" in that program. I see "Passwords: login" and "Passwords: default" [17:44] no_gravity: those are the keyrings === Companion is now known as companion [17:44] ipomeamilano: that's very wide question, I've configured many apache2 systems === decoy_ is now known as D-coy [17:45] I need help to configure https on apache2. who can help me?

[17:45] airmon -ng [17:45] I can SSH in and remove it once the server boots up, but I need it to be done automagically. [17:45] no_gravity: You should set the "login" one as Default and see what saved secrets you need from the "Default" one. [17:45] ipomeamilano: you just said that [17:45] help me please!can install audacious 3.1 or 3.2 on ubuntu 10.10? [17:46] theadmin: The situation is exactly as the following: it is at work and we are a media company and we running each computer to do an exact job and need to follow what is going on from time to time. This is why I need to access from Windows 7 to Ubuntu remotely. Also because we use file transfer a ot we can not use internet as it is really costly for us. [17:46] comunistu: if there is a package for it -yes [17:46] comunistu: if there is no, no [17:46] Hi, how can I disable the screen blanking (screen saver) in text mode? My server crashes from time to time and I cannot see any messages because the screen is blanked. [17:46] somebody with experience about installing EDUbuntu in schools? [17:46] r0cketeer: just ask the question [17:46] w7u64xi7: As stated before, configure a VNC server, run TeamViewer in LAN mode, use ssh, anything really... [17:46] f10w3r5: I'm not clear on your config but if you can ping it then you should be able to ssh in and or ssh file access [17:46] Ampelbein: what do you mean with "see what saved secrets you need from the 'default' one"? [17:47] I used to use team viewer a lot [17:47] does there is a team viewer for linux? [17:47] let me check [17:47] w7u64xi7: Yeah [17:47] theadmin, there is? [17:47] Awesome! [17:47] no_gravity: Click the little arrow besides the "Passwords: Default", there will be a list of saved secrets. [17:47] Ampelbein: yes, i see them [17:47] w7u64xi7, there is a team viewer for linux. [17:48] can't ping because there is a route automatically created that goes nowhere (on eth1, which is in promisc mode) [17:48] Ampelbein: its only one. "local password for user root" [17:48] Ampelbein: now what? [17:48] I think I'll try using airmon-ng instead of promisc mode. [17:48] Jak się macie ludziska [17:48] w7u64xi7: Just run it in LAN mode, like this (screen from win7, but it looks the same on Linux anyway): http://i.imm.io/gO3B.png [17:48] yes [17:48] satyanash http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/04/how-to-install-teamviewer-on-linux-mint-and-connect-to-windows/ [17:49] no_gravity: There is no user root on default ubuntu (Well, there is, but the account isn't used) so you can remove that keyring altogether. [17:49] no_gravity: "seahorse - GNOME front end for GnuPG" i don't think seahorse is keyring related [17:49] zykotick9: You think wrongly. [17:49] Hi, is there a way to check the progress of an ongoing fsck.ext3 ? [17:49] no_gravity: DANGER don't delete root stuff [17:49] can we run Ubuntu on a Samsung Tab? [17:49] Bert_2: it displays it's progress on screen [17:49] hanthana: no [17:50] some thing like Galazy Tab? [17:50] Igramul: theadmin: shall I check the box of using Team Viewer VPN? [17:50] Ampelbein: then i have to type the password everytime i start a root terminal. i have put this entry in my main-menu: gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator. thats what i use. [17:50] ikonia: currently not, it depends on which switches you use [17:50] hanthana: no [17:50] ikonia, any specific reason? [17:50] w7u64xi7: That's pointless most of the time, I don't think that even works on Linux [17:50] During installation I mean [17:50] Ok [17:50] hanthana: It *is* possible, but it's not too well-supported. [17:50] Bert_2: no, it should say "running pass one, %X percent compelte", running pass 2 $x complete [17:50] hanthana: it's not compatible [17:51] Hi, I want to download all pdf files on a page. I trired running this - wget --convert-links -r -A.pdf -erobots=off http://abc.com/somePage.asp. I just keep getting HTTP request sent, awaiting response... what am I doing wrong? [17:51] theadmin, i have never used a Tab but today some one asked that question, can we expect that support? [17:51] ikonia: fsck.ext3 -r doesn't print percentages by default [17:51] in the future? [17:51] hanthana: no [17:51] hanthana: It ain't supported officially and won't be [17:51] hanthana: But there are tricks to get it to work [17:51] anyone else have a problem with the top "Dash Home" transparent window being sluggish? [17:51] no_gravity: What ubuntu release are you on? [17:51] Bert_2: fsck by default will show percentage [17:52] ikonia: well, it is not from this bash instance I'm using [17:52] Bert_2: bash has nothing to do with it [17:52] Bert_2: what version of ubuntu are you running [17:52] am i going to have to reset my clock format again when I logout, or is there a way to ensure that orage remembers what i want? [17:52] Ampelbein: ups, im in my debian partition right now. [17:53] theadmin, actually i am a fedora user so, i am not udate with Ubuntu and also never used a Tab, it would be really great if we could use the same system on the Tab which we use in our desktop too ;-) [17:53] ikonia: I know bash has nothing to do with it, I'm running legacy and no longer supported 9.10, I'm using a truecrypt mapped device, the fs-repair is taking a long time and I have no way to know whether progress is being made [17:53] hanthana: Meh, Android's good enough for mobile. Anyhow, that's offtopic discussion, not really welcome here [17:53] no_gravity: Wait, you share your /home between ubuntu and debian? [17:53] Bert_2: if you know bash has nothing to do with it, then why did you say "not from this bash" [17:54] theadmin, do we have a freedom of customizing our system just for free of charge? [17:54] ikonia: I mean that I do not know whether any rc or aliasing is happening or whatever :P [17:54] Ampelbein: no [17:54] what the [17:54] hanthana: ...wut? [17:54] hanthana: you can make whatever changes you wish [17:54] i mean now we can install apps using apt-get or yum [17:54] whats the best way to delete debian before you install ubuntu? [17:54] when ever we need a software [17:54] archo43: Format everything :D [17:54] for most hardware combitability shall I use LTS or latest version of Ubuntu ? [17:54] ok like format c:/ [17:54] ? [17:54] archo43 format during installation [17:54] hanthana: https://help.ubuntu.com will tell you how to install software and use uubuntu in general [17:55] archo43: I've given you a link on how to install ubuntu - please follow it [17:55] w7u64xi7: for new hardware, use the new version (LTS lacks support OOTB for newest hardware) [17:55] ok [17:55] zykotick9: Ok [17:55] can u send me like again pleas ikonia [17:55] !install > archo43 [17:55] archo43, please see my private message [17:55] ikonia, i am asking about deploying applications which we use on Ubuntu, Fedora repositories on a Tab === anonymous is now known as Guest96841 [17:56] hanthana: you cannot mix software from fedora/ubuntu [17:56] <_Marcus> Hello, all! [17:56] like LibreOffice for a Tab === urfr332go is now known as urfr332gO [17:56] hanthana: you cannot mix software from fedora/ubuntu [17:56] hanthana: No, not possible, not officaially anyway. [17:56] Bah, typos [17:56] hanthana: tab? [17:56] ikonia: (i agree with you) but alien would disagree ;) [17:57] somehow something in 11.04 is keeping my screen from turning off via dpms, anybody else ran into (and solved) this problem? Never had this problem in earlier versions of Ubuntu. [17:57] zykotick9: no - it wouldn't alien just changes the package format, not the content, the content is still useless [17:57] ikonia: Depends on the software most of the time, something minor might even work :D [17:58] theadmin: pretty much zero software will work unless it's "noarch" rpms [17:58] there are thousands of of linux based softwares/applications so some one have to rewrite them for Andriod right? [17:58] ikonia: Hm... well yeah, you got to be lucky :D [17:59] hanthana: this isn't really anything to do with ubuntu so not really valid for this channel [17:59] ikonia, ok thanks [17:59] hanthana: try the #android channel [18:00] ikonia, i came to know that any of you have successfully convert your andriod device in to Ubuntu system [18:00] ikonia, cya [18:00] when I create an alias in the terminal (11.10) it doesn't stay for the future terminals I create it by going `alias="something"` [18:00] how do I get it to stick around? [18:00] hatch: put it in your .bash_profile [18:00] * archo43 waits for unbunti to install [18:00] hatch: ~/.bashrc to add alias [18:01] ubuntu is better than debian right? [18:01] archo43: no, it's just different [18:01] archo43: don't ask those types of questions [18:01] archo43: define better [18:01] archo43: There's no "better". [18:01] auronandace: please no... [18:01] the people who make it right better code and arent bad people? [18:01] archo43: it was until version 11. now it sucks. I went back to debian. [18:01] oh [18:01] !ot > archo43 [18:01] archo43, please see my private message [18:02] archo43: the people who make debian aren't bad - so please stop this sort of nonsense. This is your only warning. Clear ? [18:02] warning? [18:02] archo43: This doesn't make much sense you know, Ubuntu's forked off Debian sort of, so the code is same a lot. Ubuntu's more up-to-date most of the time though, although has a much different software set and release system. [18:02] archo43: correct, to stop this complaining about debian [18:02] I've found many .ISOs files to download, one of them is a DVD ... which one I should get ? [18:03] w7u64xi7: the DVD just ads more languages, use the CD [18:03] s/ads/adds/ [18:03] ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso | ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso [18:03] Ok [18:03] w7u64xi7: Just get the desktop [18:03] w7u64xi7: Alternate if you're using a RAID setup or need a CLI installer though [18:04] theadmin: please more clearness please [18:04] w7u64xi7: (if you have no idea what I just said, get the desktop) === cis is now known as liberal [18:04] :) [18:04] Hello.

(s)he's asking how to see what files a package has, that's the most obvious way lol [18:06] is unbunti the fastest operating system around? [18:06] archo43: Not really... === Doumie is now known as Devilicious [18:07] whats faster theadmin? [18:07] archo43: Are you having any problem you need help with on Ubuntu? [18:08] pangolin: nope just waiting for it to install [18:08] pangolin: over my debian [18:08] archo43: This channel only offers Ubuntu support, so we can't really discuss other distrso. [18:08] distros* [18:08] Gah what's wrong with me -_- [18:08] archo43: ok cool, if you feel like chatting please join us in #ubuntu-offtopic [18:08] ok [18:09] hi [18:09] testing [18:09] is there config file for ip rules? or what is "right" place to put them [18:09] theadmin, auto reflexs are hard to break. :) [18:09] I do not know if it is possible to ask about it here or not, but I am worry about my DVB-S PCI TeVii S420 DVB-S TV tuner if it will work or not ... how to know so please ? [18:09] !iptables | Burner_ [18:09] Burner_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [18:09] urfr332gO: um, I normally type well, just something weird is happening with me today :D [18:09] pangolin, I did not ask anything of iptables [18:10] ciao jf sim [18:10] Burner_: my mistake :/ [18:10] Burner_: Do you mean "how to assign a static IP" or what? [18:10] theadmin no, I mean that how to persist ip rules [18:10] Burner_: ...What does "ip rules" even mean? [18:10] Burner_: "ip rules" suggests iptables actually [18:10] theadmin iproute2 rules [18:11] Burner_: Oh, routes. [18:11] ip rule add bahbah [18:11] actually it is not route. it is source routing rule ;) [18:11] this is the link http://www.tevii.com/Products_S420_1.asp and this the driver http://www.tevii.com/100315_Beta_linux_tevii_ds3000.rar [18:11] Oh those...

Those people are crazy [18:12] w7u64xi7: SIDENOTE someone releasing a linux driver as a RAR typically don't know what they are doing. theadmin +1 [18:13] is there a noobguide somewhere on how to setup full disk encryption on an ssd with as little performance impact as possible? is just letting ubuntu installer handle everything automatically a viable option? the more i google, the more confused i become. [18:13] theadmin, it is not interface releated data so interfaces config is not wery good place for it. if there is config for it logically place for it is /etc/iproute2/ but I dont find any file for it [18:13] wtf. when tryin to create a Virtual Host in Ubuntu Server 11.10 I created two virtual hosts in the /usr/local/apache2/httpd it says " No directory found or created" [18:13] this is the link http://www.tevii.com/Support.asp [18:14] Burner_: Not so sure, sorry :( Someone else might help. [18:14] whats that ? [18:14] this is too weird thoguh [18:14] Hello people, I have a small problem with newly installed Ubuntu 11.10. The second monitor attached to my notebook is not recognized. Oddly, it *does* work when I boot from the live USB ubuntu, but not when I boot from the ubuntu I installed on the hard drive (installed from that same USB drive). [18:15] Jeroen_: Can you open the hardware drivers tool and check if there are any available for your GPU? [18:15] how do i create the direcotry if its no there?

[18:30] der_On, if it is mounted users then it is mounted noexec as well [18:30] no Ext4 [18:31] in terminal it tells me it can't find the file [18:31] permissions are ok [18:31] lol [18:31] omgubuntu has error [18:31] der_On: You are aware Linux is case-sensetive, right ("elephant" and "ELEPHANT" and "ElEpHaNt" are all different) [18:31] "Error establishing a database connection" [18:31] In nautilus I can't even rename folders on that partition, even the permissions are correct.

[18:34] is there a ppa with nginx compiled with tcp_proxy module ? [18:34] der_On: Well, for the 32-bit binaries to work you need ia32-libs iircd [18:34] iirc* [18:35] rabbi1: compiz seems to affect the cursor themse quite often (i have no suggestions though). Good luck. [18:36] der_On: on ubuntu 11.10 you'll see lots of :i386 packages (it's due to multiarch, which is currently being developed) [18:36] why would skype not work after installing? i run ubuntu 11.10 x64 [18:36] is there a ppa with nginx compiled with tcp_proxy module ? [18:36] dbbae: ppas aren't really supported here [18:36] theadmin: cause I tried to install some i386 architecture package using getlibs, and afterwards I removed it, as it did not work and wanted to remove all the i386 packages getlibs installed [18:36] linux_is_my_hero, you might need to install some :i386 packages. you can run ldd on the skype binary and see if any libraries are missing [18:36] Just got it working with nvidia-settings :-).

[18:38] hehehehehz === anonymous is now known as Guest29333 === registration is now known as dnaltered [18:39] rabbi1: if you could (which with unity you can't) disable compiz, the cursor themes would probably work as designed [18:39] zykotick9: 10.04, gnome (not unity) [18:39] aguitel: the ubuntu-desktop ISO i mean [18:39] rabbi1: oh, then if you want to see the cursor themes "metacity --replace", and "compiz --replace" to get back [18:40] hehez [18:40] theadmin: okay. the binaries I want to execute are indeed 32bit. I tried with a 64bit binary and it works [18:40] zykotick9, my question is to obtain updates for long period than in desktop edition [18:40] so easyyyyyyyyyyz [18:41] theadmin: but I have ia32 installed [18:41] aguitel: good plan - but won't work, the desktop like packages only get the 3 years (next LTS this won't apply) [18:41] der_On: Hm, sorry, no idea [18:41] hello to all Anon....

[18:45] zykotick9, sure [18:45] aguitel: i believe squeeze will be supported long then lucid (i was told 13 months left for lucid earlier) [18:46] s/long/longer/ [18:46] zykotick9, grat [18:46] great [18:47] zykotick9, if i remember ,squeeze will be soported 1 year after wheezy become stable [18:47] aguitel: correct, and wheezy isn't coming out next month that's for sure ;) [18:48] zykotick9, ok [18:48] ...why are you guys discussing debian releases? That's ot [18:49] zykotick9: oops, did that, yeah, got the cursor what i wanted. but lost controls and menubars of all windows :( had to restart [18:49] zykotick9: compiz --replace din't work even from Ctrl+Alt+F6 ... [18:49] Anyone have any experience with ATI and Ubuntu? Trying to change my primary monitor with the drivers installed. [18:49] rabbi1: you best bet is probably to forget either a) cursor themes or b) compiz -- your choice [18:50] rabbi1: you'd need to run "compiz --replace" from inside Xorg (which technically c+a+f6 would be, but i'm not sure what you mean there) [18:50] zykotick9: :( thank you [18:50] zykotick9: i meant the same, i did run c --r from c+a+f6. but no luck. had to restart [18:51] rabbi1: sorry my bad X starts at F7 duhhh === iqpi|on is now known as iqpi|movie [18:52] zykotick9: yeah, sure got it :) [18:52] ciao [18:52] !it | angelino [18:52] angelino: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[18:58] now i upgraded to 11.04 and still have no sound [18:58] marti: Same as 11.10, also support for Precise is in #ubuntu+1 [18:58] my video card does sound too [18:58] hai gais [18:58] I used 10.04 LTS [18:59] Now I am using Debian [18:59] but is slow [18:59] !requirements | marti [18:59] marti: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [18:59] i looked up additional drivers, it shows the nvidia driver is recommened [18:59] When I turn on my laptop, it takes me to the login screen. I type in my password, hit Enter, and then it flashes and loops back to the password screen, causing me to go in this infinite loop... I'm using the Guest account right now. What's up? [19:00] and it says the driver is actinated but not currently in use [19:00] r_tarandus: Your user profile is messed up basically [19:00] is possibe to disable this menu on the left? And back to classic panels and gnome2? [19:00] so, was editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and found that, in line 2, there is "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" even though i have been trying all afternoon to get rid of ati drivers. how can i get rid of ati drivers so i can finally install my nvidia card? [19:00] theadmin: any suggestions, then? [19:00] how do enable it to use? [19:00] !gnome2 | marti [19:00] marti: 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. [19:00] !notunity | marti [19:00] marti: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [19:00] r_tarandus: Create another user and use that, removing the old one is what I say [19:00] Uncle_Fester, after enable nvidia drivers, reboot ? [19:01] theadmin: I'm sorry, but how do I do that from the Guest account? [19:01] purplefool: move the xorg.conf to a different name, after installing nvidia use "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to get an nvidia specific xorg.conf [19:01] i dont know how to enable [19:01] r_tarandus: No real way -- hit Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in with your "real" account and then "sudo adduser new_username" [19:01] thx...will try that! [19:02] I'll wait for Ubu 12.04;) [19:02] And I'll test then [19:02] here is exactly what it says"This driver is activated but not currently in use" [19:02] Uncle_Fester: ignore that message (assuming your driver works), its a common bug (for a very long time) [19:03] so how do i get it to give me sound, i am assuming that is the problem' [19:03] zykotick9, one problem though, i am cut off from using the gui...will nvidia-xconfig still work in terminal? [19:03] purplefool: yes, but after moving the current xorg.conf you might be able to use the GUI again [19:04] zykotick9, kk, brb with results [19:05] I might be a bit thick here, but I'm struggling to burn an image to a DVD... I made an image using brasero - and then tried to burn it to a disk but it won't let me. I can see the disk, but the burn option is not available. Any Ideas?? [19:05] at the top it says"no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [19:05] hi guys, i have a postinst file in /debian/DEBIAN folder for create a deb package , but my problem is when install the package doesnt execute the postinst script . can you helpme please? [19:05] Uncle_Fester: that's a real issue - have you restarted? [19:06] i havent done anything to the driver [19:06] Uncle_Fester: i mean, have you restarted your computer (ubuntu)? [19:06] it happened all of a sudden in 10.10 and now i am in 11.04. and still same problem [19:07] i'll do it again [19:07] Uncle_Fester: well, good luck. I'm not interesting in helping with upgrade issues. === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [19:08] zykotick9, grrrr...this is just embarrassing! how do i rename a file?

[19:29] hello folks [19:29] w7u64xi7: Just what the readme file says [19:29] zykotick9: that doesn't exactly tell me if I need to uninstall apache first before proceeding with this, but i'll do it anyway to be safe [19:29] theadmin: I am sorry, you mean to do it in terminal ? [19:29] kraz3d: are you really meaning XAMP or something. Apache2 is part of Ubuntu's LAMP stack. [19:30] question concerning the use of vaapi on sandy bridge in ubuntu... [19:30] w7u64xi7: Yeah, just run "sudo -i", cd to where you unpacked the archive to and run those [19:30] zykotick9: yeah but I installed it and set it up alone first, i wasn't sure if that would be an issue [19:30] xamp? [19:31] kraz3d: if you are using some 3rd party LAMP/XAMP thing - it's not supported here (and is generally a bad idea). [19:31] !xamp | archo43 [19:31] hello , can you helpme with a easy postinst script? [19:31] !xampp [19:31] We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information.

[20:10] hello world: Help I think i am running 32 bit kernal on 64 bit processor ! getconf LONG_BIT tells 32 [20:10] keniobats, you will never get a power usage that is better than apple. they don't release enough hardware information for the developers to be able to do what they need to get the lower power consumption [20:11] mr_os_ubuntu, check uname -a [20:11] escott, I know that, but at least give me 4hs instead of 2h30min! :( [20:11] keniobats, http://lwn.net/Articles/449448/ [20:12] thanks escott it says Linux l0vers-nest 3.0.0-15-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 20 15:59:53 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux , [20:12] mr_os_ubuntu, you are running a 32bit os === abhishek is now known as Guest71306 [20:12] keniobats, start with the workaround indicated at lwn then look into using powertop [20:13] escott, I will, thanks a lot :) [20:13] escott bundle of thanks , i want to know how can i check if HW is 64 bit? and if it is 64bit, can i upgrade my Ubuntu os to 64bit WITHOUT scratch install? [20:13] hi [20:13] hi mizo [20:13] mr_os_ubuntu, grep flags /proc/cpuinfo -- and look for "lm" you cannot upgrade you must reinstall [20:14] how are you mr [20:14] is dd'ing a whole drive a good method of not-so-quick-but-foolproof os backup? [20:15] ironhalik: if you are backing up to a bigger drive yes [20:15] hello any one [20:15] is there [20:15] wb [20:16] auronandace: and if something goes wrong, I can just dd it back? Itll restore my drive bit for bit? [20:16] ironhalik, its a method, but you need to match the backup method to the intended restore method. if there is a hardware failure then a disk image may not be the best backup, because you likely would not be restoring to the same system [20:16] ironhalik: exactly, yes [20:16] think, are you there ? [20:16] cool, thx [20:16] hey [20:17] ironhalik: also note escott's comment about hardware failure [20:17] escott: its meant to preserve a working config [20:17] escott thanks , yes lm flag is presnt , does this mean my cpu is 64 bit? [20:17] so if Ill be restoring it, It will hopefully be to the same exact drive [20:17] hey [20:17] ironhalik, there are other smaller potentially more flexible ways to do that. see !clone and etckeeper [20:17] Is there a way to make it to where when you fullscreen an app there is a border of your background that the window can't go past? [20:17] !clone [20:17] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:18] I'm having a problem with the OMGUbuntu site [20:18] so that when I full screen an app i still see a little bit of my background [20:18] mr_os_ubuntu, yes it is 64bit hardware [20:18] all the pages but the home page throw a "can't establish database connection" error [20:18] Bundle of thanks escott [20:18] or some shit [20:18] im using gnome 3.2 on ubuntu 11.10 [20:19] rymate1234: that is not an Ubuntu issue. OMGubuntu is a separate entity. Also please mind your language [20:19] hello abhisek are u there [20:20] oh [20:20] sorry [20:20] hmm, ok - but how will d handle cloning of a live drive? :> [20:20] dd* [20:20] Anyone here any good with MySQL? [20:20] ironhalik, NEVER clone a mounted drive with dd [20:21] oh, ok :> [20:21] kraz3d: tried #mysql? [20:21] cool thanks [20:22] hi, what process if the (adobe) flash process in chrome? before, it was using npviewer.bin, but there is no such process anymore [20:22] s/if/is [20:22] ironhalik, dd is not a very sophisticated solution. the better methods are: (A) a filesystem like btrfs which supports snapshots (B) tools like rsync that will copy files with permissions (C) git or other version control tools to save configuration files, also !clone [20:23] ironhalik, what do you mean by live? [20:23] ironhalik: even better would be just backing up data, rather than a whole os [20:24] I think dd will work best for me [20:24] what's the recommended way of disabling services like apache2 or mysql or tomcat at boot time? [20:24] i'd like to start them manually when needed [20:24] Ive got time and drive space, and dd is simple :) [20:24] hey mizo use this to install backtrack http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/09/install-backtrack-5-application-in.html [20:25] ironhalik, if you insist on doing a disk image instead of proper backup, at least use a tool that is decent at it, like fsarchiver, partclone, or partimage [20:25] mr_os_ubuntu: we don't support backtrack here [20:25] dd is dumb and wastes time and space copying unused areas of the disk [20:26] hi [20:26] I can gzip dd on the fly, it'll cut all the empty space [20:26] psusi: he wanted fool-proof (less can go wrong), rather than efficient [20:26] ironhalik, i would strongly recommend you not use dd. you aren't going to be able to verify that your backup is restorable. it sounds really easy, but unless you have multiple copies of the exact same hardware you will never be able to test your restore process. With any other method restore is substantially easier to verify [20:27] When I try to install clementine ('sudo aptitude install clementine'), because of some version conflict, aptitude suggest to _remove_ libc6, which I consider a bad idea. How can I solve that? [20:27] I need to look into btrfs :) [20:28] ironhalik: its not ready [20:28] reliability: can you paste the error output into a pastebin website, then poste the link to the paste herre? [20:28] ironhalik, no, it won't since empty space is random garbage, not all zeroes [20:29] reliability: try here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [20:30] damn, seems like I really need some other solution :) [20:30] ironhalik, why do you not just want to use tar or dump to backup your files? makes it easy to verify and extract individual files instead of restoring the whole thing, and you can do incremental backups [20:31] hydrox24: ok, just a sec. [20:31] ironhalik, like I said, if you really want to do an image type backup, use partclone or fsarchiver, they are smart enough to skip the free space === drownednumbers is now known as cheapcerulean [20:32] ironhalik: it is a lot easier to just backup what you need (your data), it also encourages you to be more organised and operating system agnostic [20:32] hydrox24: http://paste.ubuntu.com/847693/ [20:32] ironhalik, and think seriously about how you would verify that your backup is good and restorable. a backup won't help you much if it cant be restored [20:33] auronandace: Im doing this so I can mess up my system, and restore it with couple of commands - data backup would require full reinstall [20:33] escott: yeah, it seems Ill need a more dedicated solution for that :) [20:34] ironhalik: why not use a vm and clone that? [20:34] Is there a 64bit version for googleearth around somewhere? I cant get 32bit working... [20:34] Hello, I am trying to connect s-video out on a laptop, how can I achieve this configuration? [20:35] ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [20:35] auronandace: because Im doing it on a physical machine :), the whole idea is to have a virtual drive-like image of the drive [20:35] film 2012 [20:35] hello > could someone reccomend a GOOD free webhosting service with php and mysql support ??? [20:36] ironhalik: you say you can mess up your system, that sounds like you want to experiment with stuff, why not experiment i a vm, much safer [20:36] parapan_: thats not a ubuntu support question [20:37] hello === iceroot is now known as derbysieger [20:37] m8 i have a question [20:38] nice nick ubuntu ;> [20:38] i can't change display languague [20:38] port forwarding for ssh anyone to help?

[20:42] I'm using 10.04 [20:42] hey does anyone know the fastest linux out there for download? [20:42] exutux✌ I would use brasero [20:42] Ludlow: try asking in ##linux [20:42] Ludlow: there is only one linux [20:42] I need help finding a program to timestamp and record incoming serial data, and preferrably log it as csv. [20:42] Ludlow: That doesn't really exist :D Some are fast in one things but slow in others...

[20:44] flippo: brasero? so with brasero I can make a copy or an iso, how cai extract audio/video and make an avi? [20:44] ok guys thank's for help - i will try other chanels [20:44] exutux, Check out k9copy [20:44] have fun m8'ts [20:44] cypher-neo: ok [20:44] exutux, You can rip to avi and lots of other formats as well. [20:45] I would probably user mencoder for conversions, but k9copy sounds way easier [20:45] auronandace: didn't expect you to do do ;) - but the support is always good [20:45] [use] [20:45] flippo, k9copy uses mencoder as well. [20:45] cypher-neo: I'll try it, I found handbrake too.. cypher-neo do you know it? [20:45] flippo, It's just a simpler front-end to the program. [20:45] So, I've been having this issue every time I try to install 11.10 on my System76 laptop. I go through the install and every time I try to start it show the splash then goes into text and the last thing listed is "mountall: disconnected from Plymouth"... I Googled the heck out of it and all solutions haven't worked... I can go to tty1 etc and login the "startx" and it goes into the Ubuntu GUI just fine... after that I tried installng diffe [20:45] rent things with the Nvidia drivers and no such luck... please help! [20:46] cypher-neo✌ there seem to be a number of those [20:46] exutux, Never used handbrake.

[20:47] cypher-neo: well handbrake isn't on 10.04 repos, so I'll install k9copy D [20:47] exutux: google it, you need to use a ppa for handbrake [20:47] even if i configured php to display errors it doesn't and i have to read errors from apache's log [20:48] mongy: yeah but I don't want PPA [20:48] on my system [20:48] un1337pony, try unetbootin [20:48] exutux: good, no ppa is a sensible thing [20:48] exutux: well there are a few tools, like k9copy, arista, dvdrip [20:48] anyone?

I can access its contents [21:08] amalgama: 1) yes Xorg is still running, alt+f7 (or f8) to get back. 2) not sure, but you might want to try screen instead [21:09] where in the filesystem is the usb device? /mnt/mydisk or /media/mydisk or something like that? === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [21:09] wait [21:09] it appears to be working just fine now [21:09] thatkid: did you boot from the USB device? [21:10] and I don't even know what I did heh.. [21:10] oh good :) === _bananenkampf-de is now known as bananenkampf-de [21:10] Thanks :) [21:10] what is the version of ubuntu u guys are running?

[21:11] zykotick9: ok ok.. i ll look for thanx for your help!!! [21:11] no i can't wait i want to upgrade now [21:11] auronandace: the first thing is its goes to the slpash but its not the right resolution then goes to the text and I can tty1 etc in from there [21:11] with "startx" [21:11] mr_os_ubuntu: thats not supported [21:12] mr_os_ubuntu, join #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support & installation === FlyingFoXy is now known as FlyingFoX [21:12] but after that on every boot the last line reads "mountall: disconnected from plymouth" I Googled the hell out of that last quote and tried all the solutions with no luck. === FlyingFoX is now known as FlyingFoX13 === FlyingFoX13 is now known as FlyingFoX [21:12] it seems to be a common issue [21:12] thanks auronandace oerHeks oh supported means? not commercially supported or what? [21:12] with a ton of different solutions [21:13] tonyjkl: sounds like a graphics issue to me [21:13] that haven't worked for me especially since there isn't a "xorg.conf.failback" in /etc/X11 [21:13] I have an OpenSSH server setup, but I do not want use a key to gain access. What is the setting in ssh-config to define the password for a User? [21:13] mr_os_ubuntu, it is alfa > beta stage, we cannot support it now, and that is the place to be [21:13] How do you activate html links in the windows version of evolution? [21:13] me too but I tried different Nvida drivers with no luck as well [21:14] tonyjkl: have you tried nomodeset? === ironhalik_ is now known as ironhalik [21:14] thanks OerHeks ... i want to be involved in development somehow whats the best place to find video tutorials for ubuntu app development? [21:14] hola [21:14] zykotick9: no, what is that? [21:14] !nomodeset | tonyjkl [21:14] tonyjkl: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:14] !nomodeset | tonyjkl [21:14] como etan todos [21:14] zykotick9: great, thanks I'll give it a try [21:14] !es | zamuel [21:14] zamuel: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:16] mr_os_ubuntu, i don't know about development, and/or if there are video's [21:16] ok thanks OerHeks [21:17] I have an OpenSSH server setup, but I do not want use a key to gain access. What is the setting in ssh-config to define the password for a user? [21:17] Apollo: passwords work by default [21:18] ben64: I have passwordAuthentication set to yes and when I try to tunnel in via Putty I keep getting access denied [21:18] Apollo: well. I do think that your windows putty is the culprit. Please pastebin us /var/log/auth.log [21:19] anyone know of a program to compare two peices of source code for building a kernel [21:20] hm donavan01? To compare code, one usually uses "diff". [21:20] Apollo: from the ssh server (if you have local access, I'm assuming you do) try "ssh localhost" (DON'T USE SUDO) [21:21] hello [21:21] Meilli ... will that work for an entire kernel? is there anykind of gui for it to make editing easier? [21:21] Apollo: it's PasswordAuthentication (case matters) [21:21] I justed configured my xchat for the first time [21:21] When I try to install clementine ('sudo aptitude install clementine'), because of some version conflict, aptitude suggest to _remove_ libc6, which I consider a bad idea. How can I solve that? [21:21] ssta: it doesn't even need to be set by default [21:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/847693/ [21:21] donavan01: diff works for two entire kernels, but doesn't do anything wrt editing. GUIs fotr diff include kdiff3 [21:21] ssta: It was originally commented out. I only removed the # [21:22] donavan01: diff, or if you want a graphical user interface, meld [21:22] reliability make a backup of that file and then remove it [21:22] excellent thank you both [21:22] simple :) [21:22] In my adventures to find a tty logger that isn't a teenager's hackjob, I have wound up looking at syslogd - can I mangle this utility into what I need? [21:22] Ben64: depends on how it was compiled, I'm not sure what the default is in ubuntu...I always set it explicitly anyway [21:23] zykotick9: Connectiuon refused. I set it up on port 2802. even ssh localhost -p 2802 gives me a message [21:23] motoh u need a keylooger? [21:23] Apollo: what message [21:23] ubuntu_girl: I need a way to recieve incoming data on a tty, timestamp it, and record it, preferrably to a csv. [21:23] Apollo: well, you know it's not a password issue then. Good luck. [21:23] ben64: the authenticity of host 'localhost info' can't be established [21:24] Apollo: can you pastebin the actual error [21:24] ben64: then it give me the the ECDSA key fingerprint [21:24] ubuntu__girl: you actually suggest to let aptitude remove libc6? [21:25] reliability: well. removing libc isn't a good thing to do, I'd say. Where do you get your package from? I.e. from which repository? [21:25] I'm trying to get backlit keys working on my Asus G73SW running ubuntu 11.04 I've searched the internet and there are plenty of solutions, but most of them involve directories and files that simply don't exist on my system. Help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/847757/ [21:25] ben64: pastebin.com/LKwp5eUj [21:25] reliability: i'm assuming you are using some PPA to install this? I personally think removing libc6 might lead to some badness. [21:26] Apollo: type "y" and hit enter [21:26] why 2802 by the way? [21:26] question if i want to migrate from bash to zsh what steps do i need to take ? [21:27] ben64: Permanently added to list of known hosts, then Write failed: broken pipe [21:27] beasty: "chsh" [21:27] ^_^ [21:27] beasty: install zsh, change your degfault shell to zsh (chsh command) [21:27] not sure how to do it ... maybe how to timestamp a file : NOW=$(date +"%F" ; mv file file.$NOW [21:27] Apollo: you should just remove and reinstall openssh-server, not sure what you did but its all broken [21:27] if i do ./configure --prefix=installdir will all files whatsoever from this make be put in installdir? [21:27] Apollo: that's because you took too long probably....try again [21:28] reliability my bad [21:28] diverdude: that should be the case. Most build systems are okay, but some are broken and install outside the prefix [21:28] diverdude, you're on mint right? [21:28] diverdude: side note, are you aware of checkinstall? "/msg ubottu checkinstall" if not. [21:28] ssta: ssh localhost - 2802 asks me for a password. [21:29] hey Apollo [21:29] hey Apollo use expect to solve it [21:29] Apollo: then give it the password [21:29] evildaem1n: yes! [21:29] ssta: permission denied :-\ [21:29] eeek, don't use expect for logging in over ssh [21:29] Apollo: put in the correct password [21:29] Apollo: try again, make sure the user and password are correct. [21:30] check file cat /etc/ssh/sshd*config [21:30] mizu_no_oto: you still there? [21:30] ssta: doesn't ask me for a username [21:30] Apollo: ssh username@localhost -p 2802 [21:30] hydrox24: yes [21:30] hey guys quick questions: Isn't the unity dash supposed to show with the super button in 11.10? how do I reenable this because it's not working for me? [21:30] Apollo: if it's still not working add a -v to see some debugging output === chalced is now known as chalcedony [21:30] mizu_no_oto: what kernel are you running? [21:30] ssta: my original question was trying to figure out how to setup that password [21:31] diverdude, you should make sure you highlight people correctly ;P [21:31] What's the best way to check that? [21:31] sigh, now I have two never kernels that won't boot/occasionally give kernel panics [21:31] Apollo: it's whatever the user's login password is [21:31] Apollo: again: sudo passwd user [21:31] Apollo: there isn't a different password for login and ssh, they are the same [21:31] Apollo: where "user" is the desired user. [21:31] muelli: says the user (that I defined) doesn't exist [21:31] mizu_no_oto: run "uname -r" and you can paste the one line of output to here [21:31] Apollo: well, I doubt that it's wrong. [21:31] hi [21:31] :( [21:31] Apollo: how did you define the user? [21:32] 2.6.38-13-generic [21:32] ssta: AllowUser directive in ssh-config [21:32] looking for someone interested to help me setup my VPS [21:32] mizu_no_oto: thanks, looking into it now. [21:32] ssta: AllowUsers i should say [21:32] Appolo : ssta paste output of id [21:32] Apollo: umm, the user has to exist in the system [21:32] well Apollo. that's not how you do it... [21:32] Apollo, does the corresponding user exist in the system? [21:32] Is there any way to get the text of my kernel panic and share it here? [21:32] Apollo: try: adduser username [21:32] Apollo, if the user does not exist in the system, it wont work [21:32] mizu_no_oto: are your volume keys working well> [21:32] hey guys [21:32] Apollo: umm, sudo adduser usernamer [21:32] i'm new here [21:33] and [21:33] can anyone help me with thw firewall ?

[21:33] !firewall | AlessandroLable [21:33] AlessandroLable: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [21:33] hydrox24: nope, the only keys of that kind that work are the screen brightness up and down keys (Fn+ F5 and F6) [21:33] EvilResistance: yeah [21:33] !mint | diverdude [21:33] diverdude: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:34] I wish ufw would just die...

[21:34] EvilResistance: oh im not on mint ;) [21:34] i've got logs in #nginx that say otherwise [21:34] :P [21:34] diverdude: please go to the mint channel for mint support.

[21:39] this will help a lot thanks [21:39] If I boot from a LiveCD will I still have full access to the files I already have installed? [21:39] thatkid: yes [21:39] awesome. Thanks [21:40] Hello, I have a problem connecting to my own ftp server , it gets stocked while saying..:retrieving files.... and then it says error retriving [21:40] thatkid, if you mean programs you have installed.. no.. data files.. yes [21:40] Well, I'm wondering if I'll have any trouble transferring files from my home/* folders to a USB device? [21:40] thatkid, you may need to use root rights. [21:41] thatkid: use sudo [21:41] I'm already doing it just fine now, but I can't use both my mouse and a USB device at the same time and being able to use my trackpad would be nice- I know I'll be able to do that with a LiveCD [21:41] Alright thanks [21:41] hook, thank you man [21:41] the channel works xD [21:41] I'm curious whether if I were to install Windows and then install/dual boot Ubuntu if that would make a difference? [21:41] any thoughts or solutions? [21:41] install windows first tonsofpcs [21:41] tonyjkl, [21:42] right [21:42] exactly [21:42] but windows should have no affect on linux. [21:42] I though if grub were to be different it might help with the Ubuntu boot [21:42] thatkid: drop to root environment by invoking "sudo -i", so you don't have to be typing "sudo and password" every few transfers [21:42] alright [21:42] thanks :) [21:43] yw [21:43] tonyjkl, grub would be the same. with either order. [21:43] but you probably don't know my original problem [21:43] never mind then === shadowh511 is now known as spo11 === spo11 is now known as shadowh511 [21:43] Hi All! I have a problem turning off my PC. Seem the apm turn off doesn't work. HDD goes to sleep but the power does not go off. The problem is only on ubuntu. I've tried to boot with various options (apci=off and so on). It doesn't help. Please help it's really frustrating... [21:43] I am attempting to log incoming serial data, but I need it timestamped so cat won't work. Can someone help me? [21:44] Yo, theres a new release of VLC. [21:44] is there somehwhere I can download Precise? [21:44] Fleg_: what do you use to turn it off? [21:44] hello, is it possible to change mountpoint of /tmp ? During instalation I pointed /tmp to special partition and now I need that partition for something else [21:44] plz? [21:44] dipix: several… poweroff, kde "turn off"... [21:45] tonyjkl: #ubuntu+1 knows all about precise. [21:45] Fleg_: have you tried the old "sudo shutdown -h now" method? [21:45] k, ty [21:45] Fleg_: did you try through the GUI [21:45] hi guys, I had two partition on my laptop. After some little mistake (wrong program) I accedetally started to formating my whole hd to fat32 when I recognized what I have done it formated about 2GB. I shut my laptop down and now it does not boot. After loggin in with puppy linux on USB I found that now I have one unallocated partition[i guess merged]. Is there any way for me to get into there and get files from my old windows [I stor [21:45] zykotick9: can try now... [21:45] tootac: Not likely [21:46] dipix: yes. and also sudo poweroff over ssh. [21:46] Fleg_: are you using Kubuntu? [21:46] dipix: yes. [21:46] Pe3k, edit /etc/fstab, remove the tmp line. that's it [21:46] zykotick9: same result. [21:46] Fleg_: wow, well, best of luck! [21:47] Fleg_: oooo, I had a very bad experience with it, I don't mean to make your situation worse. [21:47] zykotick9: I supose it's some driver which hangs upon shutdown. [21:48] dipix: you mean kubuntu? [21:48] Fleg_: sorry, I have NO ideas or suggestions. [21:48] My window decoration in compiz keep disappearing, is that normal? [21:48] dibs: it means compiz is crashing [21:48] Fleg_: yes, if you can, stay away from it === bhunt is now known as _bhunt [21:48] dipix: are there alternatives with KDE? [21:49] dipix: BTW: mint 12 have the same issue. [21:49] dibs, you set up the cube etc? [21:49] zykotick9: everything else works ok though [21:49] urfr332gO: yes [21:49] Using visudo, I want to give a certain group permissions [21:49] I have to run compiz --replace all the time [21:50] commands such as shutdown, useradd, groupadd, groupmod etc [21:50] Fleg_: I use Ubuntu, Fedora and BT, the rest are on my vmware for testing, mint was ok, are you looking for a lightweight version? [21:50] dibs, a chronic condition the only way I was able to have this happen regularly and fix it efficiently was to install tthe fusion icon and put it on the dektop to restart compiz, rather irratating really. [21:50] I use regular apt-sources === jordan__ is now known as jordan [21:51] urfr332gO: so this is quite normal? [21:51] dipix: I'm looking for a stable version with KDE. [21:51] mbroeker: thanks [21:51] dipix: this is for my girlfriend. I use gentoo myself. [21:52] dibs, you can restart compiz in the terminal as well but it is a double restart with the closing of the terminal. Normal in my case yes. [21:52] when I run fusion icon it doesn't show since I upgraded to unity [21:52] urfr332gO: you mean compiz --replace ? [21:52] Fleg_: give "Lubuntu" a try, but that's LXDE. why not ubuntu? unless you have very old hardware. [21:52] I am attempting to log incoming serial data, but I need it timestamped so cat won't work. Can someone help me? [21:52] dipix: I tried Sabayon. It runs very good on this PC and turns off the power after shutdown but it's gentoo like. This means update -> recompile things... [21:52] hey guys… i have php5-fpm running but it's not running as a service… what do i do to check how to stop it and run it as a service? [21:52] dibs, yes on the command I made a desktop launch for the icon. [21:53] Sup folks [21:53] hi ! [21:53] Quick question [21:53] urfr332gO: wow, that seems a bit lame that compiz can't run without issue. [21:53] dipix: ubuntu uses Gnome and who worked with kde is a lot different…. [21:53] are there any good desktop gadgets for ubuntu ? === Gskellig|away is now known as gskellig|mobile [21:53] dibs, itb is a bit more complex then that in that we have changed the stock settings [21:54] Fleg_: if you don't mind switching to "yum/rpm", try Fedora KDE. [21:54] Is anyone here able to help me operate xrandr? [21:54] commands such as shutdown, useradd, groupadd, groupmod etc in visudo [21:54] I've already got an alias for fixing compiz but other users of this machine don't know whats going on and therefore get a bad feeling about ubuntu [21:54] compiz is sanctioned though yes? [21:55] Fleg_, dipix, If stability is the priority, debian is the gold standard, and it also uses the same pkgmanager as ubuntu. [21:55] dibs, I have switched to gnome 3 lately as I need the desktop to work while composing papers for college. [21:55] Me?? [21:55] urfr332gO: I did switch for a while but I do want to just be able to use unity with compiz [21:56] dibs, unity works fine in it's stock reset . [21:56] Technicus, what are you trying to accomplish with xrandr? [21:57] brightspark; I am attempting to output video through S-video from a laptop to a television. [21:57] brightspark: I'm not looking for a distro, already have what I need, but Fleg_ you can give Debian a try as well. [21:57] 1st time using visudo [21:57] dipix: that would be an alternative. Though it is not always up to date or is it my wrong information... [21:58] hey guys new to ubuntu hows it going? [21:58] brightspark, `debian is gnome 2 and not really channel policy to push other didtros on the channel. [21:58] Fleg_: if you want new/untested stuff, don't both with Debian [21:58] s/both/bother/ [21:59] Fleg_: I have no idea, I don't really like Debian [21:59] Ubuntu is Debian with a different theme [21:59] dharri: not even close to true [21:59] that's what they all say [21:59] urfr332gO, it was suggested that he try fedora; given that he wants a stable distro and is sitting on ubuntu i suggested debian instead. [22:00] brightspark, ubuntu is pretty stable [22:00] brightspark, all not within the channel policy. :) [22:00] whats difference between Ub untu and Debian? [22:00] urfr332gO, i wasn't pushing it. just pointing out that it might meet the goal better than fedora [22:00] No idea Dharri [22:00] and remember that "based on" doesn't mean "it is" [22:00] Is there an easy way to identify the filesystem type of an unmounted partition? [22:00] still wet behind the ears getting my feet soaked [22:00] & its been a year [22:00] dharri: mostly the desktop environment [22:01] dharri: but there are other differences [22:01] both use Gnome [22:01] dharri: Not really, I can use Ubuntu with KDE ;-) [22:01] brightspark: xrandr indicates that TV1 is disconnected, but I have it connected. Do I need to associate it with a screen? I do not understand how to connect it. [22:01] 10.04 uses Gnome 2.30 and so does Debian 6 [22:02] dharri: that's probably better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic, because it's not support related === CoilDoma_ is now known as CoilDomain [22:02] dharri: 10.04 was based on Debian 6 [22:02] dharri: the look and feel is mainly it...And Unity... [22:02] Technicus, I'm not sure; I've only used xrandr to make a script to rotate tablet screens. Does the monitors dialogue in the gui not work for your needs? [22:02] unity is a shell for Gnome 3 [22:03] can we drop the ubuntu/debian differences - not being able to say what i want is annoying [22:03] hahahahaha [22:03] mbroeker: hmm now I can not start session in linux mint :/ [22:03] go on say what u want [22:03] brightspark: The gui does not seem to acknowledge the connection. [22:03] !ot | dharri [22:03] dharri: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:03] zykotick9: can always take it to #ubuntu-offtopic :) [22:04] brightspark: I am suspecting that I need to modify the xorg.conf and tell it to associate the s-video port with a screen. [22:04] brightspark: Do you have any leads with that? [22:04] Technicus, perhaps there is a hardware problem? If the computer has no idea it is connected, you may not get any better results from tool to tool. I am not an expert, though. [22:06] brightspark: I have been thinking that is a probability. I have actually never done this before myself. I don't remember having ever employed S-video for anything, EVER. Other than to see it connected, or until now. [22:06] I am attempting to log incoming serial data, but I need it timestamped so cat won't work. Can someone help me? [22:07] motoh: pipe it to syslog? [22:07] ssta: Can you guide me to do that?

[22:22] 12.04 will be LTS so they should have fixed it by then [22:22] hydrox24: certaintly, but I want a solution [22:23] is there some sort of .bat like programing for ubuntu? [22:23] blud: do you mean that it isn't listed under displays [22:23] Kabrooks: Shell scripting is quite similar [22:23] hydrox24: correct [22:23] hydrox24: prior to gnome 3 or whatever I could run gnome-appearances-manager onto gdm user and change look [22:23] google "Bash shell scripting" [22:23] blud: you'll need to look into you Video driver [22:23] Kabrooks: what do you mean [22:23] shell scripting huh ok so is there a certain format to save it in?

It's confusing, I know. [22:24] like how do you mean? what should i do first? [22:24] trism: thanks! will take a look on that bug [22:24] Kabrooks: yes, "boobar.sh" [22:24] hydrox24: I tried lightdm too [22:24] ".sh" filetype [22:24] thanx folks [22:24] Kabrooks: be aware that it ins't the same language as .bat though [22:25] hydrox24: export DISPLAY=:0.0; sudo -u lightdm gnome-control-center [22:25] Pikkachu: Can't explain that, possibly that ubuntu mixes stuff up [22:25] blud: are you using Nvidia or ATI? [22:25] or intel integrated graphics? [22:25] hydrox24: I think that sort of stuff doesn't work anymore in gnome 3, not sure. I just know it can't find the display... maybe syntax has changed?

[22:28] blud: ok, not sure I have time to help, sorry about that. [22:28] sorry got disconnected [22:28] Hi, I'm hoping for some help with Wifi on my Macbook Pro. I got it working by running "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-3.0.0-14-generic firmware-b43-installer" as it describes on the wiki, but now it's stopped working.

I have a windows box running 'Remote print manager' that recieves print jobs as if it's 15 printers, then runs batch files as each job comes in. I want to deploy a few more of these machines but don't want to pay the $300 license for the software if I can do it for free [22:30] hydrox24: this is xfce (mythbuntu), i go to settings display and it shows only 1 screen. also xrandr only reports 1 screen [22:30] benfrancis, when did it stop working after a reboot or something [22:31] benfrancis, did youdo anupgrade ? [22:31] hiexpo: I think I clicked "disconnect" in the dropdown menu in Unity because I wanted to use the wired connection for a while, but since then the wireless connection hasn't appeared in that menu === ar0nic is now known as marowanna [22:31] oh well, that guy had to go i guess [22:32] benfrancis, maybe right click icon and see if enable wireless is ticked [22:33] my linux cant see my VGA out :| any ideas on how to fix that or add it or whatever? [22:33] hiexpo: Erm, if I right click on the icon I get the same thing as left click... am I missing something? [22:34] benfrancis, i am not familiar with unity so not sure i use gnome but if i right click the icon i get a choice [22:34] Ok im back [22:34] hiexpo: Ah, no I don't get that in Unity === meisth0th is now known as zz_meisth0th [22:36] benfrancis, what app you useing to connect metwork manager or wicd ? [22:36] ok what should usaually be written on the first line to make it look neat again talking about shell scripting [22:36] hiexpo: Whatever comes with Unity, I haven't installed anything special [22:37] can someone help me enable my wireless router [22:37] But when I open System Settings -> Network I don't see a wireless device [22:37] says i have the driver installed but i cant seem to enable it [22:38] hiexpo which one do you thing is better out of network m and wicd? [22:39] countley, depends what distro your useing i like myself network manager but i compile my own stuff > so thats differant [22:40] countley, there is no really best just what ever one likes [22:40] hiexpo i use wicd on backtrack 5 [22:41] hi [22:41] :p [22:41] hiexpo: I just installed wicd and it says no wireless devices found [22:41] hi [22:43] nymph hi [22:44] benfrancis drivers you need [22:44] what's compiz version in 11.04 and 11.10? [22:46] Clear__: [22:47] any highlights on how to get this look back in oneiric? http://www.videolog.tv/video.php?id=670508 -- first the cube and floating windows, then maybe emerald decoration [22:47] benfrancis, ok so sorry i went out what wireless card is it ? [22:47] Pikkachu, the cube is not compatible with the Unity shell used by oneiric [22:47] hiexpo: BCM4331 [22:47] benfrancis, and what version of ubuntu ? [22:47] There are ways to work around that, but they might break the system. [22:48] hiexpo: oeneric [22:48] im having the same problem as benfrancis, my card is a STA Broadcomm says additinal drivers were needed im using u10.10 [22:48] benfrancis, ok one minute let me see what i candig up [22:48] Daekdroom: from what I've read, what we'd call 'gnome 3' is actually 'gnome 3 shell', right? and unity is an alternative shell, right? [22:48] hi, i have a purplexing problem install ubuntu 11.10 x64 on a dell vostro along side windows 7, the installer cannot see the full hard drive, what gives?? [22:49] Pikkachu, Nope. GNOME 3 is Gnome 3. Gnome Shell is a part of it. Unity is a shell alternative but Ubuntu uses Gnome 3 regardless. [22:49] **installing [22:49] just re-reading the wiki and I think I need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and /etc/pm/config.d/modules to blacklist modules [22:49] but it also says "install the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic or, if you have the pae kernel installed, the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic-pae package" and neither work [22:49] Pikkachu, it's possible to install Gnome Shell or Gnome fallback (with the oldschool panel). [22:49] Daekdroom: ok so it's just that it's part of it [22:49] benfrancis, yup was just gonna ask you if you black listed the old driver [22:49] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyyY24Ppcvw I would watch that [22:50] Daekdroom: I tried the fallback package and the panels looked very weird, with clock in the middle, empty spaces and such === Frostee is now known as Frostee|busy [22:50] wrong chann, damnit [22:50] what's the package for gnome shell in oneiric? [22:50] benfrancis, what is the link of the instructions you got ? [22:51] Pikkachu, because it's meant to look like Gnome Shell. There's a way to modify the panel. [22:51] Pikkachu, I think Alt + right click [22:51] grateful: I'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Oneiric#Wireless there's probably an equivalent for your version if that helps [22:51] Pikkachu: 12.04 will fix that [22:51] hiexpo: ^ [22:51] Case 1: I am using VPN. However the VPN connection disconnects every now & then. How do I prevent torrent application from working using my real IP address when my VPN connection is down? === alan_ is now known as Guest21535 [22:51] Daekdroom: a way to modify it to look exactly like in the video? alt+ right click? ok will take a look (in windows now) [22:51] Pikkachu, not exactly like in the video. [22:52] mongy: that what exactly? [22:52] Pikkachu, because some applets are no longer available. [22:52] hi. About 1 hour ago, as I was playing a game, my computer suddenly crashed out of nowhere. Complete freeze. I rebooted and now all applications/games that use the GPU run really slow. Anything I can try before buying a new GPU? [22:52] Daekdroom: well I think that's not an issue [22:52] oh wait, after an apt-get update I can can install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic [22:52] Daekdroom: got to memorize, alt+right click.... [22:52] Pikkachu: the layout will be more like gnome2. I'd recommend #xubuntu if you want that sort of thing [22:53] How do I instruct my ubuntu to stop all connection to the internet if the VPN disconnect? Anyone please.. [22:53] mongy: but xubuntu uses xfce [22:53] Pikkachu: yes. and? [22:53] can anyone shed any light on this? i have been trying to google for it, but i'm at a loss as to how to phrase it :/ it appears that the hard drive has most of the available space on a partition for which the installer cannot detect how much free space there is, never seen this before and would love someone elses input please [22:53] mongy: you answer [22:53] Pikkachu: just giving you an opinion from a fellow gnome2 user [22:54] mongy: I use gnome, why are you telling me to use xfce, it'll bring cube and panels back in oneiric? [22:54] OK, I'm going to reboot and see if it works. Thanks hiexpo [22:54] Does anyone know how to use visudo for group commands? [22:54] benfrancis, did you install ubuntu or are you running it live ? [22:54] Pikkachu: if you want cube then install compiz, if you want a panel, there is one, always was [22:54] Daekdroom: wait, what's the difference between the fallback package and gnome shell? [22:55] pikkachu fallback is primarily for users that cannot have graphic acceleration required to power gnome shell [22:55] Pikkachu, huh.. GNOME Shell uses graphical acceleration and the fallback package resembles GNOME 2 and doesn't? [22:55] snap! [22:55] mongy: installing compiz doesn't create a cube like that in the video, you need to configure it. As Daekdroom said, unity does not support cubes (aka unity 3d == compiz plugin iirc) [22:56] !gnome2 [22:56] 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. [22:56] !notunity [22:56] 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 [22:56] Pikkachu: if confuring anything is too much then, you are right. don't install compiz and don't enable cube. [22:57] configuring* [22:57] hiexpo: It worked! [22:57] mongy: it was already configured and working, see the video [22:57] mongy: upgrade broke it [22:57] benfrancis, figured it would needed to blacklist old one [22:57] Pikkachu: you are talking about unity or shell, I am not [22:57] hiexpo: Yeah, my fault for not reading the instructions properly :) [22:58] mongy: can we reset? I'm lost [22:58] benfrancis, no big but that is important when changing drivers or kernels [22:58] * benfrancis RTFMs himself :) [22:58] have finally gotten my gts450 nvidia graphic card to give me a gui (yahoo!) but cannot get a resolution above 1360x768. my icons are big as silver dollars. how can i get nvidia to recognize a higher resolution? [22:59] Daekdroom: you mean ' GNOME Shell uses graphical acceleration and the fallback package resembles GNOME 2?' (no ' and doesn't') [22:59] ? [22:59] Pikkachu: sorry, I don't use unity/shell, but I do still use compiz and it works fine [23:00] Pikkachu, Gnome fallback does not need graphical acceleration (but you might use compiz with it) [23:00] does anyone gave any experience with the goflex homeNAS? [23:00] Anyone here know of good "build your own computer" irc channel? [23:00] I've just plugged in a USB wifi adapter [23:00] purplefool, you have the propitiatory drivers installed ? [23:00] mongy: you've lost me sorry :( [23:00] how can I tell where it is in lshw? [23:01] I can't seem to find any info on it [23:01] I'm not sure it's running, or anything... [23:01] Pikkachu: ok. what exactly do you want to do and with what desktop environment? [23:01] hiexpo, yes i do...just realized i have 2 activated.... [23:01] donsd, no but if you have questions you can ask them here [23:01] Daekdroom: ok thanks... so what do you think is better for trying to get that old look back, (fallback + compiz) or gnome-shell? [23:02] Pikkachu, I like GNOME Shell personally === stephen is now known as Guest45664 [23:02] Pikkachu, you should try Gnome Shell first before trying to work on fallback. [23:02] hiexpo, nvidia_current and nvidia_current_updates [23:02] Daekdroom: ok thanks [23:02] will try to give feedback....thanks all [23:03] Okay. BIOS not recognizing half my ram. Wonder if it could be BIOS setting. [23:03] donsd, is all of the ram the same? and how much is each stick? [23:03] purplefool, disable one and see [23:04] brb smoke break [23:04] dRounse 2Gb each. Brand new, identical. [23:05] donsd how many sticks? [23:05] hi. About 1 hour ago, as I was playing a game, my computer suddenly crashed out of nowhere. Complete freeze. I rebooted and now all applications/games that use the GPU run really slow. Anything I can try before buying a new GPU? [23:05] DDR2 ram, DDR2 motherboard. [23:05] hiexpo, so, deactivated nvidia_current and now says the other is activated but not in use...do i need to restart to get it? [23:06] dRounse 2Gb each. Two sticks. === iqpi|movie is now known as iqpi|on [23:07] Migi32, what have you done to test for reasons? [23:07] donsd try switching them, and then restarting, also there is the ##hardware channel [23:08] dRounse, I have 4 color coded slots. Have tried both colors, but have not mixed colors. [23:08] donsd try mixing the colors [23:08] purplefool: not much. I'm not sure what I can do. [23:08] color refers to dual channel [23:09] Migi32, purplefool, I'm very interested in this. I had the same thing happen to me on my desktop a couple weeks ago, shortly after an update. I have also not been able to make headway in fixing it. [23:09] purplefool: but I tested some games and did a CPU benchmark. The CPU benchmark was fine, but all 3D games run really slowly now [23:09] Hi, if I wanted to host my own email how would it work? how does it route to me? what happens if my email server is off when someone attempts to send an email to me? [23:09] dRounse, Will try mixing, thanks. #hardware sounds like a good place. Take care. [23:10] Ojol you need a mail server, which is available from the ubuntu sercer cd also if they send mail while your server is down then it is gone forever unless you have it going to two places [23:10] OerHeks, My ram is suppose to be dual channels. [23:11] anyone know anything about the goflex home nas? [23:11] Migi32, hmmmm...had the same problem (thus my visit here now) and could not correct it. was with an onboard graphic card and now am trying to use a real bought card...was hoping you had tried something i hadn't. [23:12] purplefool & cypher-neo: do you have a windows or mac or other OS to test if it's hardware-related or software-related? [23:12] I don't, unfortunately... [23:13] is there a way to get to the NM-connections editor through terminal? [23:14] Migi32, no i don't either. have you noticed anything else going loopy? my motherboard also has problems with sound and i found that my graphics in games were much worse if i wasn't successful with the workaround. [23:15] Migi32, I was planning to reinstall Ubuntu and install all the drivers again. Would that work? [23:16] hello all === john_922 is now known as johnp_80 [23:16] my wm keeps crashing randomly when I try to alt-tab. any ideas? [23:16] i just forgot the name of the concept which graps all the data according defined rules [23:16] i wonder if anyone can offer some advice, for some reason i cannot resize the os part of my laptop's hard drive to make enough room for ubuntu [23:16] cypher-neo & purplefool: well that might work, but I don't know. What graphics card do you have? [23:16] what was the name of it? data grabbing? [23:17] im in a noob client and i wonder what the standard irc cmd to list people in a channel is.? [23:17] alecbenzer: what WM are you using? (i'm guessing it's really a DE, Unity perhaps?) [23:17] Migi32, My GPU is integrated into the motherboard. NVidia 7000+ something [23:18] there isn't ... but highlight the user list and then //say $snicks works on mirc [23:18] anyone help me file a gedit bug? i don't have an account. the bug is if you drag a tab from one gedit window to another, the whole UI will freeze. [23:18] cypher-neo: "lspci | grep -i vga" will tell you for sure [23:18] cypher-neo: ok. I have a NVidia 9600 GT [23:18] i think i just remembered : data parsing?! [23:18] i dont have user list that is the thing [23:18] GeForce* 9600 GT [23:18] zykotick9, I'm not near the computer right now. I'll write that down though [23:19] zykotick9: well yeah, it's the default unity stuff w/ 11.10. I just meant that wm is what seems to be fucking up (my applications stay up, but the window borders and stuff disappear) [23:19] Nvidia 7k uses the 173 driver ? [23:20] alecbenzer: i've seen others complain about ALT+TAB crashing in Unity. I don't personally have ANY suggestions. good luck. (PS. nice language on ya) [23:20] OerHeks, It was working fine. The only integrated component that wasn't working was the integrated sound. But I was using a sound card to solve that. [23:21] What crackin?

All I get is the error "screens found, but none have a usable configuration. fatal server error: no screens found" [23:23] and it shows display:0 configuration: driver=i915 [23:23] and display:1 UNCLAIMED configuration: (then it shows no driver) [23:23] I've been Googling, but I can't find any resolutions. Does anyone know where I should look for a fix? [23:23] so I'm guessing i dont have a driver installed for the VGA out?? [23:23] Cerin: do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? (you shouldn't be default) [23:23] if so idk what to do to fix this [23:24] zykotick9: No, it says it's using the configs in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [23:24] Cerin: "lspci | grep -i vga" [23:24] ahoj [23:25] zykotick9: 04:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ASPEED Technology, Inc.

[23:33] Foxhoundz: http://downloads.raqcop.com/cobalt_ipcop/extras/Cobalt_LCD_&_WEB_LED.txt I been stumped here basically. Yes I been into the files but no I ain't got buttons working [23:33] there's a lot on LCD's [23:33] if you can figure out what chip you got [23:34] then compile your stuff [23:34] you might get lucky and it just works [23:35] or ya might have to tweak it to get it to do anything at all [23:35] heh [23:35] hopefully I pointed you where you can find other links [23:35] for your chip [23:35] or gave you the idea at least [23:36] Foxhoundz: im afk then [23:36] i noticed something weird with the resolvconf package [23:37] if in /etc/network/interfaces i have a line like 'dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 ::1', it only adds the 127.0.0.1 entry to /etc/resolv.conf [23:37] FreeMem, I don't think the links you gave me pertain to my problem === tp_ is now known as piero [23:38] Foxhoundz, you want to change brightness cause it's too hard on your eyes when the room is dark or some other reason?

I would like the same functionality on Linux [23:39] smf: gcc/g++ C/C++; Python, Perl, Ruby, GTK, Qt... they're all decentish [23:39] snf all [23:39] The problem is, simply shutting down the computer -- or worse -- turning off the LCD screen resets the brightness [23:39] smf: depends on what specifically you're developing and what you need from whatever coding language [23:40] ACPIC hell or is it ACPID or APCID or [23:40] smf: usually GTK and Qt will require some other language for coding though [23:40] while it doesn't effect brightness so much the app 'redshift' works great and is mus thave on all my PC cause operate lots in dark rooms [23:40] hope the kernel has the stuff with ACPI* [23:40] modules [23:40] headers [23:41] Can someone help me with my alps touchpad?

[23:41] it's presenting to xinput as both a generic "PS/2 mouse" and as an AlpsPS/2 ALPS Glidepoint [23:42] the latter seems to be masked by the former (disabling the generic one disables it, disabling the alps one doesn't) and doesn't have synaptics properties like disabling tap to click [23:42] Foxhoundz: can you trigger the brightness by messing with ONLY the display settings? if so replace your caps [23:43] it looks like it's operating in both a "legacy mode" and a real mode, and the "legacy mode" is blocking functionality [23:43] Random833, what you trying to do disable touchpad tap [23:43] hiexpo: yes [23:43] the mouse is showing up as two devices to xinput, and only the one that doesn't have any touchpad features "works" [23:43] that can cause it to those cheap caps [23:44] can anybody help me with my laptop vga out to tv problem as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1927812 ?

I dont't think, because when I do xrandr there is no vga out even seen in ubuntu. The laptop is not sending a signal [23:49] also how do i enable middle button emulation [23:50] Random832, not in 10.10 let me find it as a tarball [23:50] can your TV go to another VGA on another computer/laptop (not the one in question) [23:50] Random832: see the ubottu !info touchpad-indicator above [23:50] blud, we need more info, what vo [23:50] blud, we need more info, what videocard do you use, or better what laptop ? [23:50] Also, when i do xrandr --output VGA is says xrandr: warning: output VGA not found; ignoring [23:50] Random832, so let me make sure i understand right you want to disable your laptop touchpad right ? [23:50] blud: does the laptop have some keycombination to enable/disable video out? [23:51] hiexpo: no. I want to disable tap to click [23:51] I use Intel 82852/855GM integrated [23:51] zykotick9, +1 [23:51] other wise what I am trying to do is eliinate your VGA card being burned up on the VGA out. by knowing the TV works or not [23:51] the touchpad is currently operating in some sort of legacy compatibility mode that has tap-to-click hardcoded on [23:51] and does not respond to the ordinary methods of disabling tap to click [23:51] !lista [23:51] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[23:52] blud: that's telling you the VGA isn't found.. then it isn't found. Eliminate the TV being the problem [23:52] try a real vga [23:52] Ultimately it's not an issue stopping me from switching to ubuntu, since i get the same behavior on windows, but it's really irritating [23:52] or another TV [23:52] Random832, on laptop > built in mouse > and the tap to click does not work right ? are you useing an usb mouse ? [23:53] no, i'm using the built in mouse, and just living with the annoyance now [23:53] zykotick9: yeah fn-f7, if i press it, the laptop screen goes dark, but the tv still receives no signal. and no matter how many times i do that the tv wont receive a signal. Also, i cant get the screen back on the laptop and i have to reboot [23:53] i would LIKE to have it work properly [23:53] I don't understand what's complex about the situation I have explained [23:53] blud: yuck. well, good luck!

Only the generic "PS/2 Mouse" one is properly working [23:54] Random832, well i had the same issue but i wanted to disable the touchpad > so different strokes for different folks I use a usb mouse [23:54] FreeMem: its not the hardware, i know the tv is fine, i have hooked up windows laptops to it recently and they work fine [23:54] I mean, its not the TV part of the hardware [23:54] Random832, multi touch/gestures .. maybe you better join #Ubuntu-touch [23:54] conceivably it could still be the video card in the laptop [23:54] if you know it ain't the hardware then download your drivers for your video card [23:54] i dont know how to do that [23:54] uninstall, reboot, reinstall [23:54] how do i do that [23:55] hiexpo: I can disable the touchpad itself with fn-f8 [23:55] or if it's nvidia just install again [23:55] OerHeks: this is not a touch screen, it is an ALPS GlidePoint. [23:55] OerHeks: Mouse [23:55] replace your files [23:55] oil your computer hinges [23:55] Random832, ah, not a touchpad [23:55] my current driver is apparently "i915" [23:56] hello ppl.. is it possible to makethe console support other languages?? i press ctrl+alt+f1, but the console that comes up doesnt recognise my language.. and also i dont knowhow to change the language in which i type.. [23:56] I think "touchpad" can refer to two different things. [23:56] how do i (re) install the video driver?
