[00:00] has anyone every had a problem like this, and how can i supply more information to you guys? === adriano is now known as Guest99282 [00:02] luist: 1) it's dpkg not apt-get to install DEBs manually 2) if you double click it does it not open in a GUI installer (this is a question)? [00:02] zykotick9: oh yes.. how can i install with the GUI installer but running from the command line? [00:03] luist: no idea, never done it ;) good luck. [00:03] zykotick9: haha thanks!! [00:03] Wiz_KeeD: install xfce4 see if its better there... [00:03] what's that? [00:04] Wiz_KeeD: you have a lost of apps on the bar on the left hand side of the screen, yes? [00:04] !xfce | Wiz_KeeD [00:04] Wiz_KeeD: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [00:04] ActionParsnip, yes i do you are right [00:05] Wiz_KeeD: then you are running unity, try xfce, see ifit is more stable and/or more to your liking [00:05] that sounds like quite some large change... [00:05] Wiz_KeeD: install the package: xfce4 log off, then log in to the xfce session [00:05] Wiz_KeeD: its not really a change, you will still have unity and so on still instaled === max is now known as Guest86588 [00:06] <_Marcus> How do I make a user able to access EVERYTHING in /home [00:06] action parsnip how do i start chat up with someone who ive meet previously ? [00:06] i'm a bit reluctant to make major changes due to the fact that i'm not so used with the linux enviroment...is there any way i can switch back if i don't like it? and how will this affect the restart problem? changing the desktop [00:06] newbie question, I need to directory which is owned by user tom to be also writeable by http upload .. , [00:07] is there a disadvantage if i install ubuntu in a extended partition? [00:07] anonymousinuk: start talking at them, use TAB to autocomplete names ;) [00:07] NyLes: none at all [00:07] NyLes: no [00:07] _Marcus: is it owned by a dfferent user? [00:07] there not in this room though [00:08] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: I don't know what you mean. I want him to be able to read and write to everything in /home/* [00:08] ActionParsnip: zykotick9 thanks, im getting paranoid about that :D [00:08] anonymousinuk: then you can use the: /whois command [00:08] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: That includes inside people's home directories [00:08] Ive tried everything cannot get detection for "airmon-ng" [00:08] una pregunta es mejor 11.10 que el 10.10} [00:08] _Marcus: that is default, they will have read access [00:08] <_Marcus> !es | reten [00:08] reten: 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. [00:09] ActionParsnip? [00:09] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: I want them to have write access too. [00:09] any ideas why [00:09] can yu guys please inform me whats the different of logical and primary partition? [00:09] Wiz_KeeD: sudo apt-get install xfce4 then log off and log on to the xfce session [00:09] and if i want to switch back? :) [00:10] NyLes: logical partitions are stored in extended parttions as you can only have 4 primary partitions [00:10] Hey all… I have ubuntu 11.10 installed on a desktop with just 1 gig ram. I prefer working from my Mac, so I screen share to get to the ubuntu. Due to the low RAM, ubuntu is painfully slow. I'm looking for ways to remove all system animations. Google hasn't been clear about gconf/dconf and all sorts of issues people have when they break something and spend hours fixing it. Can someone point me to a clear-cut solution? [00:10] Wiz_KeeD: log off and log back into the Unity session... [00:10] <_Marcus> WizKeeD: Just select what you want when you log back in [00:10] hello [00:10] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: I want them to have write access too, what could I do? [00:10] superb i shall try then! [00:10] ActionParsnip: that's the only difference? [00:11] I have ubuntu 11 running on my laptop - but have a "random-ness" about detecting keyboard and mouse - external keyboard and mouse works just fine [00:11] I basically have to power it down and restart and have no idea how to diagnose it [00:11] _Marcus: I suggest you make a group, add them to the group then run: sudo chown -R :groupname /home/foldername; sudo chmod -R g+rw /home/folder [00:12] NyLes: yes, so you can have 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partitions which can have as many logical partitions as you can need [00:13] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: What about "user:" instead of ":group"? [00:13] ActionParsnip: thanks for the information lo, that's why i have 1 extended partition it all my other partitions are there, i already have 3 primary partions, thank you so much.. [00:14] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: And this for for the whole /home/, not just one folder in it [00:14] _Marcus: the group you make.. [00:14] ok [00:14] here goes [00:14] anyone have an idea how to diagnose the laptop keyboard / mouse randomly working (as stated, external works fine). [00:14] ? [00:15] i see no difference... [00:17] i logged out, logged in and it's the same thing [00:18] ActionParsnip? :) [00:20] \quit [00:20] mycraft did you search for your laptop model ? === sins- is now known as sins === sins is now known as sins- [00:21] @oerheks: did a lot of google [00:21] did not see anything relevant [00:21] Does anyone know if, after performing a lucid debootstrap install on a chrooted system, configuring networking to work on reboot, adding repos, updating apt and installing linux-image-3.0.0-15-generic-pae and then successfully booting the bootstrap system if all that is left to be done is apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [00:21] hi [00:21] @OerHeks:it is as if the drivers randomly won't load [00:21] theres a new ##linux-config channel! [00:22] whats the deal with grub not showing the menu at boot everytime? I have done 3 diff ubuntu 11.10 installs and one 12.04 install, and they all just go black screen after POST and then the screen kicks back on at the initialization of X.. i don't like this and would like to know how to change it. [00:22] myraft, what is the model/number ? [00:22] what will i put to Mount Point: option? [00:22] god-zotac, grub menu is not necessary with a single kernel installed [00:23] god-zotac, you can always manually edit grub.conf [00:23] slackguru:: i have more than a single kernel installed. and i don't like the idea that grub isn't showing the menu incase the kernel fails to boot in the future, or i'd like to see to be able to boot a diff kernel [00:23] OerHeks:Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7222 17.3" Laptop [00:23] slackguru:: i have manually edited the grub.conf.. want me to pastebin it and let you see what it looks like? [00:24] god-zotac, yeah, I'm with you on liking the menu to be default. [00:24] do i need to specify it? or just leave it blank? [00:25] nah god-zotac it would be a waste at this point for me to look at it, I haven't got the hardware for oneiric or precise, I am running oneiric on this machine, but it's through dist-upgrade [00:25] can anyone tell me how i can erase the "recently used"? [00:25] god-zotac, I'm trying to figure out what to install on an older system after I get a working bootsrap installed with networking support [00:26] I think all I need to do to get gui is to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop but still not sure. [00:26] ##linux-config . now need ops/voice members! [00:27] can anyone tell me how i can erase the "recently used"? [00:27] slackguru:: yea that should pull in all the dependencies for the desktop, thats the metapackage for unity [00:28] installing lucid LTS on that older machine god-zotac [00:28] nowhere near ready for unity on that machine god-zotac it has one bank of ecc memory and one bank of non-ecc, lmao [00:29] im stuck please answer me :( [00:29] the memory mismatch is why I can't do a standard CD install on that machine god-zotac [00:29] this is really driving me crazy, because i like to use customized kernels, and be able to boot a kernel compiled for proprietary fglrx driver, or one that is built for the radeon open source driver, and I also like to have the option to boot another OS visible, i can't figure out what is wrong here with grub2 that it isn't showing the menu for me at all [00:29] Is there any way to force powertop to save its tuning settings? They are lost each time I restart. :/ [00:30] NyLes, what partition are you formatting? [00:30] NyLes, if you are formatting the / partition that is your mountpoint [00:30] slackguru: the main, i will install ubuntu there.. [00:30] NyLes, if you are formatting the /boot partition then /boot is your mountpoint [00:30] @OerHeks: not sure if I missed something [00:30] @OerHeks:any ideas ? [00:31] then your mountpoint for the main partition is / [00:31] slackguru: thanks ^^ [00:31] Sure NyLes [00:31] MonkeyDust: i was about to tell you that you are the first user to join my channel and you recieve a FREE prize! [00:32] MonkeyDust: a slap in the face! lol [00:32] just kidding [00:32] chaospsychex a FREE operating systemN [00:32] myraft, i read some issues for Toshiba Satellite L775D general, but no solutions except a Arch comment > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Toshiba_Satellite_L775D_S7340#Touchpad_and_keyboard_are_not_working [00:32] ? [00:32] MonkeyDust: it's called ubuntu, go to ubuntu.com to download [00:33] myraft, my linux knowledge is to average to say this could work === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [00:33] @OerHeks:so basically, when it does not work, I will need to power it down and pull out the battery, wait and hope things work [00:34] @OerHeks: actually I am looking at what you found - and interesting - I might try it [00:34] myraft, let us know. [00:34] @OerHeks: it is so random - but will do [00:35] thanks for the help though [00:35] myraft, i will keep on reading further [00:35] hey guys, using 11.10 and my display suddenly went unrecognized and the greatest resolution I can select is 1024 x 768 when it was 1920 x 1080 previously [00:36] @OerHeks: according to the site, it i should see a menu list in /boot/grub [00:36] don't have that file [00:37] can anyone point me in the right direction to get some help with mounting a hfs+ external hdd in 11.10? [00:37] myraft, the site is out of date... grub2 uses grub.cfg, which is auto generated by update-grub, not menu.lst [00:38] after I did an apt-get upgrade of xubuntu-desktop and a kernel update .... my X no longer runs... i tried reboot via grub to select the old kerenl and still nothing. any suggestions? i can still login to ttyl but just no X [00:38] Can you load ATi and Nvidia driver at the same time? [00:38] @psusi: so do I edit any file === administrator is now known as Guest7412 [00:38] myraft, for? [00:38] in Ubuntu [00:38] How to I update drivers in ubuntu? [00:39] @psusi: - to put this line according to the site - i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset [00:39] Guest7412, the update manager will tell you when there are things to update [00:39] Guest7412, which drivers? [00:39] ubuntu-br [00:39] @psusi: basically, my problem is randomly the laptop keyboard and mouse will not work [00:39] AMD Processor [00:39] but the external ones work all the time. [00:40] myraft, if you want to edit kernel arguments, they go in /etc/default/grub in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable [00:40] Processors do not need drivers. [00:40] how can i change the grub.cfg (grub2) to boot off a default entry in a "submenu" [00:41] what is everyone using to back up their ubuntu server? [00:41] Can you load ATi and Nvidia driver at the same time? [00:41] <_Marcus> Hi. For some reasons we can create, read, and edit files over SSH, but we can't do any of that over FTP. Any idea why? [00:41] Zac_o_O, I prefer dump, most people use tar [00:42] YellowGTO, what do you mean? [00:42] _Marcus, because you didn't install and configure an ftp server ( correctly )? [00:42] slackguru:: i got it working halfway decent now.. i had to change some weird options [00:42] Run two cards at the same time [00:42] how can i change the grub.cfg (grub2) to boot off a default entry in a "submenu" [00:42] <_Marcus> psusi: I did "sudo apt-get install vsftpd" [00:42] There is a box that says Additional Drivers No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. When I activate the ATI/AMD proprietary Graphic driver I get a discuting watermark why is this please help. [00:42] <_Marcus> psusi: I did that on another server, and it was fine. [00:42] http://mddrop.com/index.php/5450 [00:43] _Marcus, and are you logging in as a user with the correct permissions? [00:43] Like you can in windows [00:43] hey guys having a problem with my resolution it suddenly shrunk in the middle of a session and even after restart it won't go back to they way it was at install. I have a 22" monitor and was previously using resolution 1920x1080 now I only get a max of 1024x768 [00:43] Help, I have a dead Ubuntu. It came after updating Wine and changing some themes, the error I get on boot is "Aggregation not enabled for tid 0 because load = 1" [00:43] @psusi:@oheherk [00:43] glad to hear it god-zotac [00:43] I changed the grub file in /etc/default [00:44] myraft, then run sudo update-grub [00:44] I wasn't aware that was possible, YellowGTO. You have both cards currently inserted, but you are unable to install drivers for them? [00:44] @psusi: - I did that, I am getting - /etc/default/grub: 38: i8042.nomux=1: not found [00:44] psusi: think rsync'ing my / directory would be a good solution? [00:45] does anyone use rdiff? [00:45] I dont have linux on this PC yet Antares I want to make sure it will work before installing [00:45] But on Windows I do use both [00:45] apt-get is in the process of installing ununtu-desktop trying to install ubuntu totally remotely via ssh, so far so good god-zotac [00:45] http://mddrop.com/index.php/20120220_141404 [00:45] Zac_o_O, sure, if you have a destination large enough that you can access online [00:46] online? [00:46] can't i rdiff to a local drive? [00:46] how do i disable wifi roaming in ubuntu 11.10? [00:46] Is someone going to answer my Q? Please when I actived the amd processor I get a watermark that look discusting please help [00:46] <_Marcus> psusi: I couldn't even edit anything in my directory [00:46] Zac_o_O, online in the sense that it is connected and on line, not online in the sense of the Internet [00:47] YellowGTO, I'm not even sure which search settings I can even begin to use so I can Google your question. I don't know the answer off the top of my head, unfortunately. [00:47] Zac_o_O, as in not tape drives or dvds or removable hard disks that you store most of off site [00:47] Hello, I'm new here (not new to linux). Can anyone tell me the difference between the priority and niceness fields in 'top'? As I understand it the PR is the scheduling priority. Is there a way to tweak this or is tweaking the niceness the best thing to do? [00:47] Antares, I guess I can just try LoL [00:48] Thanks anyway [00:48] _Marcus, are you logged in as a proper user, or anonymous? btw, ftp should be avoided since it's insecure [00:48] YellowGTO, I don't remember whether you can see which drivers you are able to install while using the "Try Ubuntu" mode, but you can do the Live CD business without installing. [00:48] Ah ill try that 1st [00:48] It would be impressive if Additional Drivers offers you both sets of drivers. [00:48] <_Marcus> psusi: Then I'll use sftp, but for now, it doesn't matter. It is a proper user, named "webmaster" [00:49] Does anyone know the equivalent program to gnome-power-settings in ubuntu 11.10? I used to execute that program to deal with screen brightness, etc, but it doesn't seem to be in 11.10 [00:49] ah got it [00:49] clarkimusmax: priority is calculated based on niceness and other magic factors === zero is now known as Guest22356 [00:50] clarkimusmax: change the niceness if youre just trying to "casually" bump up priority. the kernel will choose a priority based on that and other factors. [00:50] so rdiff to a local source that gets rotated weekly... good choice? [00:50] dotnull, I'm not sure which options are in gnome-power-settings. There is powertop which can enable power saving for USB ports, WiFi, etc. [00:50] mnbv0987, thanks, I figured that was the case [00:50] @psusi - how do I change or based on what is recommended here - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Toshiba_Satellite_L775D_S7340#Touchpad_and_keyboard_are_not_working [00:50] Zac_o_O, with things like tar and dump, you can make backups, then for instance, email them or drop them on one or more dvds or removable hard drives to store off site, and you don't need the old ones handy to make an incremental backup [00:51] trying to copy 147G from a USB drive to / [00:51] or if I go with rsync - what directories do I need to leave out of rsyncing / ? /proc /sys /dev .....right? [00:51] myraft, thought you said you already did? [00:51] i see [00:51] good to know [00:52] @psusi:I did edit /etc/default/grub [00:52] clarkimusmax: the usb is probably more of a bottleneck than cpu usage; don't be disappointed if you don't see a big improvement. [00:52] Zac_o_O, at least.. it's generally easier to tell the tool to stick to only a single filesystem... I forget what the switch was for rsync... for cp it's -x, may be the same for rsync [00:52] @psusi: sudo update-grub gives this - /etc/default/grub: 38: i8042.nomux=1: not found [00:52] ah i see [00:53] has anyone ever had luck fixing an issure in 11.10 where the display is unknown and there are limited options of resolution choices? [00:53] Can I ask a GNS3 question in here? [00:53] myraft, then you didn't edit it right... you need to add the setting in the quotes of the variable I mentioned [00:53] what do I need to do to change my bash to a regular one. I created a user and instead of the normal user@hostname $ prompt I just get a $ prompt and none of the default shortcuts work [00:53] ls [00:53] oops [00:53] does anybody know how to disable wifi roaming in 11.10? i'm having trouble establishing a connection to a network where multiple aps have the same ssid. [00:53] Antares, thank you. I'll take a look at that [00:53] @psusi: so how do I do something like this - i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset ? [00:54] myraft, add that to the variable like I said [00:54] mnbv0987, you're probably right but google chrome hogs resources and I'd like to surf without it affecting the copy too much. Thanks again! [00:54] @psusi- I am sorry, i missed it, searching thru [00:54] dotnull, it's available in the repo (sudo apt-get install powertop) and you navigate with the arrow keys. [00:54] np [00:55] myraft, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT... add the extra options there within the quotes [00:55] There is a tunables section which says either "good" or "bad"; press enter on the item that says "bad" and it'll turn on power saving for that. [00:55] Guys... I am having a dhcpd problem. [00:55] hi again, i have an existing grub configuration in my pc (using it on my windows xp and stuff), can i just add ubuntu there? [00:55] However, I have a problem with powertop not saving the settings after a restart, but that may be just me. [00:56] NyLes, Ubuntu will install grub2 and add all detected operating systems to it [00:56] I am moving my Ubuntu server from a physical machine to a VM. Same version (LTS) and so I assumed if I copy the dhcpd.conf and the dhcpd.leases I am all set. It offers addresses but none of the clients see it. [00:57] So my log is full of DHCPDISCOVER and DHCPOFFER but not DHCPACKS [00:57] how do I make it so when I ssh in to my machine it automatically runs bash? [00:57] jay_why_bee, your VM is set up for networking in bridging mode, not NAT right? [00:57] psusi so i have no choice but to install grub2? but i can add my other stuff there? [00:57] @psusi: - thanks for the help [00:57] psusi: yes and I see the DHCPDISCOVER [00:57] NyLes, it will automatically add it for you [00:57] I did that and update grub === mike_ is now known as Guest53159 [00:58] keyboard not working still [00:58] brb [00:58] And if I shutdown the DHCPD service and turn it back on the old physical machine, all is good. [00:59] slackguru:: that should work fine, i don't see what any difference would be from ssh or actually logged into the system, just hope when you reboot the remote machine that all is good, unless you can easily gain physical access to it [00:59] jay_why_bee, odd.. maybe time to fire up wireshark? [00:59] psusi its not just an OS, to be specific, i have hiren's boot cd, mini windows xp, memtest, recovery console, windows xp installer, plop boot manager etc.. [00:59] psusi: packet sniffer? You leaning towards ESXi doing something to the packets? [00:59] does anyone have advice on fixing resolution problem where display is unknown? [01:00] NyLes, then you may need to add some of them to /etc/grub.d/40_custom [01:00] jay_why_bee, could be [01:01] psusi thanks, im using 10.04 anyways coz my hardware is too old.. [01:01] NyLes, so? [01:02] NyLes, 11.10 should still run fine [01:02] psusi can I run wireshark in an ssh session? [01:02] psusi it will over ride my existiing grub right? [01:02] tfitts, ssh shouldn't be different than the user's default login shell. you can edit the laseld in /etc/passwd or "usermod -s /bin/bash username" [01:02] jay_why_bee, I'd run it on a client machine [01:02] NyLes, yes [01:03] psusi really? but when i tried 10.10 it doesn't recognize my video card? [01:04] @psusi: any ideas ? [01:04] NyLes, do you have an old ati card? iirc, ati removed support for some older cards from the proprietary drivers, but the open source ones should work fine [01:04] myraft, nope [01:04] @psusi -thanks [01:04] tfitts, per google, "chsh" should work as well (man chsh) [01:04] psusi: my card is NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400.. [01:06] I was using mythbuntu 10.10 and I upgraded to 11.04 and then to 11.10, and now when I turn the machine on, i dont see the desktop, instead it autoloads this program I have called Freevo in fullscreen, and I can't get to the desktop. If i quit freevo it just puts be to a black screen with a couple lines saying like Check Battery level [OK] and you can't do anything [01:07] does anybody know how to disable wifi roaming in 11.10? i'm having trouble establishing a connection to a network where multiple aps have the same ssid. [01:07] psusi do you thin my card will still run at 11.10? [01:07] NyLes, it should, yea... [01:08] NyLes, boot the livecd and find out [01:09] psusi: it wont boot unless add the option nomodeset.. i mean it boots but only shows black.. [01:10] psusi: i just finished installing ubuntu, how will add the option nomodeset manually? [01:12] !nomodeset [01:12] 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 [01:12] NyLes, add it to the options in /etc/default/grub [01:12] ok what is the easiest way to get an ubuntu machine to use an ldap server for accounts? [01:13] psusi: i can't boot yet, it will only show blank.. i just pressed E to edit it.. [01:14] NyLes, ok === rane_ is now known as ra1n [01:15] psusi: so how will add it? === ra1n is now known as R41n === R41n is now known as sauron1 === sauron1 is now known as Ra1n === Ra1n is now known as Ra1nz [01:16] Hey channel! [01:16] NyLes, by typing on the keyboard? [01:16] hello [01:17] I'm at the end of my rope, would anyone be willing to help someone new to ubuntu install it on his mac? [01:17] psusi: lol yeah i know, i mean what part of this lines? [01:17] A little context i've attempted to install with both a USB and optical disk with the instructions from ubuntu.org [01:17] NyLes, on the linux line with the other options [01:18] Which problems are you having, roland333? [01:18] Uhh, I misspoke. Not install, but boot from USB and DVD [01:18] roland333: I'll throw a factoid that may help [01:18] !mac | roland333 [01:18] roland333: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [01:18] When I restart the system with the USB [01:18] okay, i'll check that out in one sec. [01:18] psusi: is it after quiet splash? [01:19] I restart the system, press alt. [01:19] psusi: there it boots thank you.. [01:19] and the only option that comes up is the hard drive. [01:19] when I log into OSX, there is a disk error that says the drive is unreadable. [01:20] actually, i'm gonna reboot to make sure i have the exact correct wording. brb. [01:20] mgolisch: are you there? [01:20] roland333, how did you format this drive? [01:21] As for the DVD-R's i'm trying to use, it wouldn't let me format them. [01:21] So I assumed that was unnecessary. [01:22] Were you referring specifically to USB or would I need to format both? [01:22] roland333, I mean how did you make the usb? [01:22] terminal [01:22] with instructions from ubuntu.org [01:23] roland333, have you tried using Unetbootin? [01:23] roland333, what instructions? [01:23] One moment, i'll cp. [01:23] or summarize. [01:24] Hi [01:24] Hello [01:24] Any prominent Features from Ubuntu 12.04 ? [01:24] from the earlier release [01:24] i'm using ubuntu 11.10 and having trouble establishing a wifi connection to a network where multiple aps have the same ssid. what can i try first? i want to keep using networkmanager if possible. [01:25] in dmesg it says its disconnected for reason #2, which is something like "authentication is no longer valid", and it repeatedly prompts me for a password [01:25] i have no trouble connecting to networks with only one ap [01:33] Hi all, I'm looking for an application that can analyse wifi around me so I can discover the best wireless channel to use. Ideas? === Gskellig is now known as Gskellig|away [01:34] So I am sure this isn't the correct Ubuntu channel to be asking this in, but I was wondering if someone could give me some direction to look in for the methods the Ubuntu install isos (particularly the alternate install image) are generated. Anyone have a direction to look? [01:35] somethinginteres, have you looked in the software center? I don't really use wifi analysis stuff, so I can't speak from experience. [01:35] Antares: Not atm, I'm not sure how to go about finding an app without knowing its name per se. [01:36] Just type in some keywords you might think the program would use, such as wifi or network analysis, etc. [01:36] f [01:36] Antares: I'll have a look now. [01:38] can i change the shortcuts on the dash in 11.10? i've never run a network app or media app through there, i don't use this machine for photos or music, firefox is already on the launchpad, and thunderbird is already in the system tray. [01:38] the only one i ever click is "more apps" when i'm trying to find other applications. [01:38] mnbv0987, hold alt and then right click on the shortcut in question and choose remove. [01:39] You can add shortcuts by left-clicking and holding on to something in the dash and then dragging it over to the launcher. [01:39] has the memory leak in nm-applet been fixed since 10.10? [01:39] I'm getting "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,..." when I try to mount a HFS+ external HDD in 11.10. Any thoughts? [01:39] Antares: nothing comes up when i hold alt and right click. i'm talking about the 8 big shortcuts when i click "dash home" [01:40] Ooh, I thought just the panel. I don't know how to change those, but you can try Googling, mnbv0987. :P [01:40] thanks [01:40] Sorry I can't be of much help. :P [01:40] also does anybody know how to make the application list scroll bar in dash home wider than 3 pixels? [01:41] is it possible for grub 2 to use loadable fonts in text mode? right now it just uses bios font [01:41] Antares: doesn't seem like there's any suitable options in the Software Centre [01:43] lol, i tried installing my video card with proprietary, now it wont boot even at nomodeset [01:43] somethinginteres, are you trying to analyze network traffic or do you just want to measure signal strength and whatnot? [01:44] txtzttm, you are trying /dev/sdb when you may be meaning /dev/sdb1 [01:44] Antares: I'm just want to check signal strength and how crowded the wireless channels are in my area to find the best channel to be on. [01:45] how can I video call in pidgeon [01:45] Dr_willis, I was using /dev/sdb but I just tried /dev/sdb1 with the same results [01:45] txtzttm, no idea then. I never use hfs. [01:46] txtzttm, paste the exact mount command you re using to the channel. some one may see a error in it. [01:46] Lint: i just changed my console font, but even that doesn't apply until midway though the boot process. I highly doubt you'll be able to change grub's fonts at all. [01:46] sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force /dev/sdb1 /media/outerhaven [01:47] I think Grub2 has a lot of theme/options that are not compiled in by default. - [01:47] how can I video chat in pidgin for my yahoo? [01:47] but if grub is set to run in graphic mode, it loads fancy ubuntu font, that with characters from thin lines [01:47] can someone help me with my video card? it has bugs with latest drivers NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 [01:48] *made [01:48] psusi it appears my new server is sending out DHCP Offer packets from source 127.0.0.1 [01:48] NyLes: you might as well use nouveau [01:48] somethinginteres, I looked for a bit but did not find anything I could use. I suppose it's just a matter of knowing which program to use, and I have no experience with them. [01:48] Sorry. :( [01:48] Gentoo64: how will get to use it? [01:49] NyLes: i doubt that particular card is supported by nvidia-current, did you check which driver it's suppose to work with? [01:49] NyLes: uninstall nvidia drivers [01:49] Antares: Thanks for the help regardless. [01:49] NyLes: nouveau may not give you want you want BTW - 3d might not work for instance === Guest53425 is now known as Bladerunner [01:49] Antares: I just found this: http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ apparently a Linux port is in Alpha. Otherwise I might try netstumbler === Bladerunner is now known as Guest87245 [01:50] NyLes: to check for nouveau 3d support you could check the h-node site and search for your card [01:51] somethinginteres, you can always try running Windows binaries if you find something that fits the bill using WINE (sudo apt-get install wine). [01:51] zykotick9: i've done some research and they say nvidia-96? === helgikrs1 is now known as helgikrs [01:51] In case the port doesn't work for some reason. [01:51] Antares: noted. [01:51] NyLes: and is that the driver you installed? [01:51] zykotick9: ill check the site, i think even my card doesn'y support 3d :D its very old.. [01:52] zykotick9: i just tried the Additional Hardware under system, it says there nvidia-96? [01:53] what's the easiest/clearest/better way to automount ntfs partitions onto /media/? (no hardcoded path, it should get the label then create a dir named after that) [01:54] bonsoir [01:54] So I have moved a DHCP server from old physical server to a virtual server on an ESXi host. Same config, same lease. The new one doesn't appear to respond to anyone. A packet snif shows the new server's Source IP to be 127.0.1.1? Thoughts? [01:54] jay_why_bee, did you configure the server's IP address? [01:54] Pikkachu, use "udisks --mount" [01:55] Lint: I'm in windows now, what will it do exactly? [01:55] Would that be the "server-identifier" in the dhcpd.conf? [01:56] jay_why_bee, you said you were sshed to the vm so I presume it has a proper IP address? that sounds promising [01:57] you need to run the command "udisks --mount /dev/xxx" as root from batch file or similar [01:57] yes [01:57] Lint, or just click on it in the gui [01:57] I am changing the host address to the ip address and rechecking. [01:57] psusi, he needs automatic way I suppose [01:58] psusi: that looks like it worked... [01:58] Lint, having to run a script with sudo != automatic [01:59] jay_why_bee: verify that the ethX involved hasn't changed, udev may have moved it === tenach_ is now known as tenach [02:00] well between the two servers (old = eth3; new = eth0) it did changed, but the config wasn't set to anything listing the interface. Just the subnet. [02:00] zykotick9: sad to say h-node doesn't have my card driver :( [02:02] NyLes: that's unfortunate. well, if nvidia proprietary isn't working, giving nouveau a try might be a good idea (i was personally very dissappointed with nouveau 3d) [02:02] psusi But I changed the "server-identifier" from the server.domain.com to 192.168.1.1 and it reported it correctly to the window's client. === LL2|Android1 is now known as LL2|Android [02:03] zykotick9: how will i get to use nouveau? [02:03] psusi I now see the DHCPACK goodness! Thanks. [02:03] NyLes: remove all the nvidia drivers, move xorg.conf to xorg.conf.disabled then restart [02:04] zykotick9: how will i remove the drivers? lol i thought its impossible reformatted it again LMFAO.. [02:04] zykotick9: *i reformatted [02:05] Lint: do I need to install any package in fresh oneiric for using udisks? [02:05] Pikkachu, no === tenach__ is now known as tenach [02:05] Lint, psusi: yeah automated so I don't need to click every time [02:05] NyLes: do you know specifically what the package was called? something like "nvidia96-something"? [02:06] NyLes: you could use "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" to check [02:06] Pikkachu, if you want the system to mount it at boot time, add it to /etc/fstab [02:06] zykotick9: ok thanks ill keep that in mind for future hahaha, the formatting started 5 minutes ago already.. [02:07] psusi, but fstab doesn't create and remove nice mount points automatically [02:07] Lint: ok, in previous install I had some ntfs package which seems to be doing that somehow (iirc ntfs3g-manager or something, it was from the time ntfs writing wasn't default in ubuntu yet, then I started from scratch in oneiric and it didn't come with that utility) [02:08] psusi: please read what I asked [02:08] ntfs support via fuse is in by default [02:08] Lint: what's fuse? some ntfs support package? [02:09] !fuse | Pikkachu [02:09] Pikkachu: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [02:11] thanks for the tip Lint, will try to recall 'udisks --mount /dev/sda' [02:11] sdaN then === mjbermea is now known as mjbermea|afk [02:13] Lint, yea, you make the mount point [02:15] Lint: does it just figure it out it's to be mounted on /media? [02:15] Pikkachu, it did for me [02:16] Lint: ok thanks! [02:16] where can I ask quick autotools question? [02:19] Lint, #autotools [02:19] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUs_6-d5T3g opinions? [02:19] nouveau doesn't work either, what do you think if i try this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1646166 can you help me? === satan is now known as Guest8974 [02:20] Lesterwood, its offtopic. dont randomly paste stuff here [02:22] ugh linux jipped me off [02:23] how am I suppose to use my yahoo to vid chat? [02:23] jen_: Use skype. === mjbermea|afk is now known as mjbermea [02:23] anyone know why mysql-workbench keeps crashing on 11.10? [02:23] but I want yahoo vid chat [02:23] as well [02:24] hola [02:26] I have a service tinyproxy that I want started before gdm starts. [02:26] Any suggestions. [02:26] It looks like I can edit /etc/init/gdm.conf but I am not sure if I can add those types of services. [02:27] jen_: yahoo probably has the worst gnu/linux support of any of the IM protocols, gyachi is some out-of-repo, out-of-date program that you might want to check out though. [02:27] awww poopie doo doo [02:27] nouveau doesn't work either, what do you think if i try this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1646166 can you help me? [02:27] naaa i guess I can live [02:29] Good evening. My girlfriend would like to know why the icon for the Archive Manager tool looks like a toilet paper roll. [02:29] This would be in 11.10. [02:29] what ubuntu is the best ubuntu? [02:30] OU818: What do you intend to use it for? [02:30] OU818: what orange is the best orange? - what do you mean? [02:30] erpo, which icon? It looks like a cardboard box to me... [02:30] smw_: The icon for file-roller. [02:30] erpo, ask theme authors. But it's because archive manager is called file_roller_ [02:31] well like, I wanna stop windowsing and start ubuntuing and i dont know where to begin [02:31] Lint: I know. It used to look like a steamroller, and that made sense. When she said it looked like a toilet paper roll, I thought she was joking. [02:31] But that's exactly what it looks like now. [02:31] erpo, if you look at a big version, it does not looke like toilet paper ;-) [02:31] erpo, which icon theme? [02:31] OU818: Download bog standard ubuntu from ubuntu.com. [02:31] erpo, it's actually an image of a big concrete tube which can be rolled over turf to compress it down, for example [02:32] erpo, it is a pic of a roller flattening a file... [02:32] Lint: The default? [02:32] bog standard, got it [02:32] erpo: thanks brb [02:32] erpo, (a folder actually) [02:32] smw_: It's unix. Everything is a file. ;) [02:32] erpo: "bog standard" what is that? [02:32] smw_: Or, I was wrong. [02:32] erpo, folders are not files [02:33] erpo, nor are network interfaces [02:33] smw_: right folders aren't real [02:33] zykotick9, right [02:33] zykotick9: Perhaps an imprecise or unhelpful term. I mean "vanilla" or "default" ubuntu. === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [02:33] zykotick9: Ubuntu 11.10 x86 === Guest8974 is now known as sa`tan [02:34] hello to anyone out there that can help me with a ubuntu network problem [02:34] erpo: i see, bog is not a term i'm familiar with (well, in the context you're using it in). Thanks for the clarification. [02:34] !ask | wildman_ [02:34] wildman_: 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 [02:34] ubuntu 11.10 [02:35] "early ceramic toilets being produced to exactly the same specification in white only which became known as the bog standard" [02:35] thanks google! [02:36] ok i have ubuntu 11.10 on all of my systems and i can get them to talk to one another [02:36] i just installed 11.10 - how do i make the screen saver not ask for a password? [02:36] i cant see them in the netwok deal when you click the network icon === jtrucks is now known as idiotrucks [02:37] all i want to do is be able to copy files to difrent systems and my nas boxes === idiotrucks is now known as jtrucks [02:37] can someone explain why xapian is rebuilding database each morning if I didn't update package repositories meanwhile? [02:38] wildman_, I can't see other hosts when I click on my network icon (on the menubar). I didn't know that was even a feature. I'm using 11.04. [02:39] she made a mistake! [02:39] well like when you go to the home menu and click the network icon on the bottom left there it wont show my other systems === marco is now known as Guest98162 [02:41] when i had 11.4 i could click on the network deal and see all the computers on my net work [02:42] this 11.10 just shows a black screen [02:42] wildman_, I'm working on 11.04, Classic Gnome interface, so can't reproduce your exact situation, but it looks like when I select Places->Network and get into the network display, all I see are Windows computers, and I suppose if I had Samba servers configured correctly on Linux boxes, I'd see those too. [02:42] wildman_: Post a screenshot. [02:43] wildman_: Also, is your last name Wildman, and did you recently graduate from a culinary arts program? [02:43] ok what key do i hit to get a screen shot i forgot how that works === caroline is now known as yasser [02:44] wildman_, print screen [02:44] wildman_, press "Print Screen" [02:44] ok thanks bew right back [02:46] wildman_: The first question would be how are you or what are you using to enable file sharing (and network discovery)? [02:47] Lint, maybe #Xapian knows the answer [02:47] ok how do i get this to you [02:48] the screen shot that is [02:48] how to use sh command in terminal? [02:48] wildman_, picpaste.com [02:48] i will try this one "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.20.pkg1.run" [02:49] NyLes: man sh [02:49] eggzeck: man sh? === owner_ is now known as Guest73514 [02:50] NyLes, "./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.20.pkg1.run" [02:50] NyLes: adding "man" before a command allows you to read its manual page and in turn will help you understand it better :-) [02:50] OerHeks: i got it working now, but it prompts me saying that i should first exit x server? how will i do that? [02:51] ok i think it is there [02:51] eggzeck: ow thanks for that.. [02:51] * OerHeks thinks that 96 driver is not goin to work in 11.10 + unity [02:51] NyLes, my guess would be to Ctrl+Alt+F2, log in, and run it from that terminal. [02:51] wildman_: My guess it that you have not tried enabling nor configuring file sharing/network discovery at all which is why you're not seeing the machines. (I'm assuming this since you did not answer my above question) [02:51] OerHeks: im using 10.04 :D [02:51] wildman_, You need to give us the URL picpaste.com gave you. [02:52] stevelitt: ill try it thanks.. [02:52] ok hang on i will go get it [02:52] NyLes: only my opinion, but manually install the nvidia driver from nvidia.com is a bad idea [02:52] wildman_, click the url above the remove url, then you can copy it [02:52] what is GTK shortcut for entering Unicode characters? [02:53] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_at_2012-02-20_19_46_51-jfbZ4bzj.png [02:53] zykotick9: but why? how will i install it? :/ [02:53] I was wondering if someone could give me some direction to look in for the methods the Ubuntu install isos (particularly the alternate install image) are generated. Anyone have a direction to look? [02:54] NyLes: 1) uninstall could be a BIG issue (well, not if you are willing to reinstall again) 2) after every kernel update you'll have to reinstall it 3) it isn't supported in this channel [02:54] sephthir, you wish to customize the debian-installer ? [02:54] wildman_, Just as a diagnostic, try running Nautilus, then click Go->Network on the menu, and see if you see the other boxes there. [02:55] bazhang, I already know how to customize debian-installer, that's working fine. What I really need is the actual documentation / scripts that produce the alternate install iso, and I've been basically unable to find anything related to it online anywhere... [02:55] zykotick9: what do you mean every kernel update? even im using 10.04 the kernel will be updated? i can't use latest version of ubuntu coz of this card.. [02:55] Hey guys, I just installed phpmyadmin and I can't access it at http://mydomain.com/phpmyadmin/ . I get a 404 [02:55] I followed the steps in the installation documentation, I believe. PHP/mysql/apache are all working fine [02:55] ok will go try it just a sec [02:55] NyLes: when you get a kernel update, when you restart your Xorg will be broken until you manually reinstall the nvidia.com driver [02:56] NyLes: the kernel does get security updates from time to time [02:56] babonk: did you configure it> [02:56] dipix: I included it in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [02:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization sephthir from this? [02:56] babonk try http://localhost/phpmyadmin if you configured it correctly [02:57] k [02:57] wildman_, By the way, in my opinion Nautilus sucks bigtime. We're doing this only as a diagnostic test. [02:57] i would like it to be accessible from the web, though [02:57] since this isn't my localhost, it's a shell [02:57] babonk: or 127.0.0.1 [02:57] zykotick9: i see.. hmmm.. but i think i'll just reinstall it manually again and again IF this works perfectly.. have no choice anyway.. [02:57] bazhang, I've already looked through it and it doesn't do enough in the directions I need. [02:58] Hey, I have a few questions about ubuntu [02:58] Is this the right place to go? [02:58] stevelitt: i tried what you suggested but still it says i should exit first X server? any ideas? [02:58] !question [02:58] 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 [02:58] Thomas__, yes [02:58] Thomas__, sure shoot [02:59] ok how do i get to that in the terminal or what [02:59] NyLes, I don't know for sure, but I think it's telling you that you must completely quit X. Which would mean, if you started X with startx, quit X. If you started it by virtue of booting, you need to reboot to CLI mode. Other people can tell you better ways to boot into CLI mode better than I. [03:00] wildman_, Did a program come up when you ran Nautilus? [03:00] Sounds good, so I decided that I wanted to install ubuntu, but keep Windows 7. Now, I have never done anything with partitions nor ubuntu. I created a third 100 gb partition, installed ubuntu onto a disk, burned the disk, loaded the disk, installed onto the 100gb partition, and when I choose to run ubuntu on start up I get error: "Prefix" not set [03:01] NyLes: ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a VT, then "sudo service lightdm stop" might work [03:01] I am trying to install XBMC ...but not able to do that.. [03:01] wildman_, Oh I remember how you do it in Unity. Go to the place where you look at your computer, click that, and I think that should bring you into Nutulus. [03:01] !bootinfo | Thomas__ [03:01] Thomas__: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [03:01] NyLes, you are on 10.04? [03:01] this command fails :- sudo add-apt repository ppa:team-xbmc [03:01] bazhang: yes [03:01] i am on 11.10 [03:01] NyLes: "sudo service gdm stop" then ;) [03:01] zykotick9: ok i will try that.. [03:01] mohan_, whats the link to the ppa page [03:01] how can I change my theme back to the older style themes? This new one on 11.04 is killing me. [03:02] !notunity | goose_ [03:02] goose_: 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 [03:02] zykotick9, what would it have been for 11.10 to stop gdm? [03:02] hmm..i am just referring this article here :- http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/good-media-server-ubuntu-set/ [03:02] what thing is that i am still kind of new to all this stuff [03:02] stevelitt: if 11.10 uses GDM then yes [03:02] answer from Tim Brookes [03:02] :) [03:02] goose_, choose classic from the login window [03:03] err, 11.10 rather [03:03] but thanks zykotick9 [03:03] zykotick9, let me guess, if you're using lightdm, you "sudo service lightdm stop"? [03:04] stevelitt: i'd guess (i've never used lightdm though) [03:04] zykotick9: thanks your suggestions works fine :) [03:04] bazhang: yes im on 10.04 right now as you guys suggested.. [03:04] mohan_, try this http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_on_Ubuntu/HOW-TO_1 [03:05] i not sure where you want me to go [03:05] mohan_, although I don't think it works in 11.10 [03:05] wildman_, Go to the place where it gave you the error message, click OK on the dialog box posting the error, then run the menu on the program with Desktop and Pictures and all that (I think you hover or click the menubar at the upper left, and then choose help->about, and tell me what program it says it is. [03:06] zykotick9, Thanks for the info -- I never knew that, and actually had to tweak the grub configuration to boot Ubuntu to CLI, and wasn't that a mess! [03:06] installation is done now it prompts me if i would like to run the nvidia-xconfig utility to update my X configuration, what can you guys suggest? [03:07] stevelitt: :) [03:07] I can't get into anything ubuntu-related besides the installer, and If I'm reading this boot info script, I actually have to be in ubuntu for it to work [03:07] NylLes: try running "sudo nvidia-xconfig" not sure if it's going to be there or not though [03:08] what is the best way to download single precise packahe? [03:08] zykotick9: thanks you're a big help really.. [03:08] restarting now.... [03:08] gordon..will do that [03:08] /quit [03:08] :P [03:09] I should so set that as my quit msg === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [03:09] ok i have a screen shot for you if that helps [03:10] :( still black screen.. [03:10] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_at_2012-02-20_20_07_54-I6d07u9m.png [03:10] I am just looking a way to make my ubuntu desktop as a media server...is there a way to do it ? [03:10] if XBMC doesn't work with 11.10 [03:10] Hey guys. I installed PHPmyadmin and added it to the apache config, but it's not accessible from localhost/phpmyadmin/ [03:11] mohan_: try "MediaTomb" [03:11] oh [03:11] Thomas__: So you installed using the Alternate / Server install CD rather than the normal Desktop CD? [03:11] let me check [03:11] what is the option in grub to boot at CLI? [03:11] !text | NylLes [03:11] NylLes: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [03:12] zykotick9: ubottu thanks so much.. [03:12] wildman_, Good! Now get to the menu on that program (which we now know is Nautilus), and select Go->Network, and see if you get the same error message. [03:12] NylLes: ubottu is the channel's bot [03:12] !thanks | NylLes [03:12] NylLes: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [03:13] NylLes, Be sure to back up the config file before adding the word "text". [03:13] All I did was go to ubuntu.com, click download, click the first "Download and Install", run the burner, then run the disk, click "Install alongside windows" , and select my new partition with nothing on it [03:13] zykotick9: ow hahaha.. stevelitt yeah thanks.. this card is making me lose hope lol.. [03:14] Thomas__: If you select "Try Ubuntu before installing" (or a similar option) you can run a live version of Ubuntu from the CD. From there you can run boot info script. [03:15] Is there a recommended tool for disk management (Partitioning/lvm) through ssh? I've only used gparted but this is for a headless machine... no sense to use gnome [03:15] or rather... how do people do disk management through ssh normally? [03:15] gbear14275: parted is the cli program gparted relies on. [03:15] mohan_, I would check out moovida ... its a lot about personal preference though. [03:15] "Demo and full installation"? [03:16] no it just shows the windows network icon and thats it it us to show all of my other computers when you hit the network deal now the windows icon is the only one that shows but the frist time you hit the net work icon it gives you the error then it just shows the windows icon from then on [03:16] zykotick9, thanks I remembered that it was based on parted but wasn't sure if that's what people used. [03:17] zykotick9, can parted create logical volumes? Or is there another tool I would have to use for LVM stuff... or would it just be... lvm (I'm beginning to doubt myself) [03:17] nvm [03:17] im losing hope lol, what's with puppy that it can use my video card.. [03:17] gbear14275: i really wouldn't know, i'm still using regular paritions and fdisk ;) [03:18] NylLes: old xorg would be my guess [03:18] zykotick9, I think I answered my own question. I appreciate the help though [03:18] Thomas__: What version of Ubuntu are you using? I just tried booting an Ubuntu 11.10 CD and the options are "Try Ubuntu" (what you want) and "Install Ubuntu". No "Demo and full installation". [03:19] zykotick9: old xorg? what do you mean? i can't uninstall the nvidia driver i installed lol.. [03:19] wildman_, Install a Samba server on one of the other boxes, and see if you see it in Nautilus. Installing the Samba server should be just an Aptitude thing or an apt-get install thing or whatever Unity uses. If security isn't an issue, temporarily make your home directory accessible on the other computer. [03:19] zykotick9: can i do it with 10.04, that old xorg you're saying? [03:19] wildman_, What confuses me is how it showed the other computers on 11.04, but not on 11.10. I'm assuming all the other computers were not changed. That's bizarre. [03:19] NylLes: just a theory, but if the other distro uses an older version of Xorg, that might explain why it works with your card [03:19] 11.10... [03:19] ? [03:20] zykotick9: is there a way to use what puppy is using to ubuntu? [03:20] should /etc/apt/sources.list exist or did the source move somewhere else recently? [03:20] NylLes: highly doubt it, and remember i'm just theorizing here [03:20] Hello peeps [03:21] Jordan_U :http://puu.sh/hKjg is the menu I am getting. [03:21] zykotick9, NylLes: I used to have stuff like that all the time -- my distro couldn't correctly configure the video card, so I'd run another distro (Knoppix was good for that), it would work fine with the card, and then I'd back up my old xorg.conf and copy the Knoppix xorg.conf to xorg.conf. A lot of times that worked. [03:21] someone able to lemme know tips for using backtrack? [03:21] krishmish, in the backtrack channel #backtrack-linux [03:21] thanx [03:22] stevelitt: woah? really? what about if i just used puppy? still has the live cd here.. [03:22] I installed PHPmyadmin and added it to the apache config, but it's not accessible from localhost/phpmyadmin/ . Can anyone advise me what could be going wrong? [03:22] That URL 404s [03:22] NylLes, BACK UP your old xorg.conf first!!!!! [03:22] Thomas__: When I boot an Ubuntu 11.10 CD I get to this screen: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/try_or_install.png Is that what you see? [03:22] I just installed Lubuntu on my laptop, and I want to output to the tv via vga, but the tv is getting no signal, what do I do? [03:22] what's the difference between nvidia-96 and nvidia-96-modaliases? [03:23] no sir all my systems have 11.10 on them and i have two nas boxs that i built and it dosnt see them eather it use to in 11.4 though that is why i am asking for help i will go try that samba thing and see if that works will let you know in just a little while ok [03:23] stevelitt: ahahaha ok thanks.. [03:23] Hoping someone would be able to tell me why "tracepath" is installed by default when "traceroute" is not. Was there a specific reason? [03:23] Thomas__: Ahh, I understand now. You need to actually boot from the CD to do a normal install of Ubuntu. [03:23] never mind just had to restart apache [03:24] can i access ubuntu files with my windows xp? dual boot.. [03:24] Tracepath alway's seems to fail. [03:24] hi, i have an AMD Phenom II x6 1075T, which is 3.1ghz. but when i do cat /proc/cpu | grep "cpu MHz" it shows all the cores at 800.000 MHZ?? [03:24] Thomas__: Follow the instructions here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download to install Ubuntu normally. You can probably skip to step 3, assuming you've already burned the CD. [03:25] Jordan_ U :I can't navigate my bios with any sort of accuracy due to a screen problem, and my computer doesn't boot from the the CD on default. Any ideas on what to do? [03:25] ? [03:25] what does free software only option do? [03:25] NylLes, You would have to install drives so that windows can see the linux FS [03:25] limpc, Your computer slows down the processor when not working hard. Run a prime number generator or something like that and you'll see one of the processors briefly hit 3100. [03:25] Xeneth: what do you mean? [03:25] Thomas__: If you don't get my nick correct my client won't highlight your message. [03:25] !tab | Thomas__ [03:25] Thomas__: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:26] NylLes, By default, windows cannot read EXT (ext3 or ext4), so windows cannot see those partitions. you would have to change that. [03:27] Xeneth: but linux can read windows FS? [03:27] NylLes: Correct. [03:27] Jordan_U: ok thanks.. [03:27] NylLes: You're welcome. [03:28] NylLes, correct, being open, someone wrote drivers so that Linux can read NTFS which is what new windows use. I have heard of a way to get windows to see EXT3. do not know if it works for EXT4 [03:29] Xeneth: thanks for the info.. [03:29] stevelitt, hmm yea ok. i did dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null and saw one core jump to 3ghz [03:29] that scared me, i thought i got ripped off lol [03:29] NylLes, NP. happy to help. [03:30] my tv gets no signal from my laptop vga cable for some reason, anything i can try? [03:30] Going to try a restart [03:30] blud: does you laptop have some hotkey combination to toggle video out? [03:30] Thomas__: What exactly is the problem with the screen that provents you from seeing the BIOS menus? [03:31] zykotick9: it does but it seems to do nothing [03:31] zykotick9: back in mythbuntu hitting it (fn-f8) would blank out the laptop screen, but now in lubuntu it has no effect [03:31] blud: what GPU does it use? [03:32] intel 855 [03:32] when i go to monitors, or do xrandr it *does* see both the laptop screen and the vga out to tv, so, thats cool [03:32] limpc, Yeah, I had the exact same reaction the first time I did cat /proc/cpuinfo. There's a bios setting by which you can have your computer run full speed all the time, but unless it's mid-winter and you need extra heating, don't do it. [03:32] blud: sorry, i'm not familiar at all with lxde. Good luck. [03:32] heh yeah [03:33] i dont really think its a lxde specific thing but w/e [03:33] stevelitt: the software side would be cpufreq-set from cli [03:33] the red bulb of CPU keeps glowing for quite long and speed of PC slowed down drastically. What can be done? [03:34] Guess noone can answer my tracepath/traceroute question. :) just trying to find out why tracepath fails after a few hops. [03:34] ok sir this is wildman again i have the samba setup on the other system and it has been setup through this hole thing and i still dont see it in the network now what [03:34] Ah, kuhl, thanks zykotick9. Hear that limpc, the software side would be cpufreq-set from cli. [03:35] limpc: there should be some GUI tool(s) to accomplish the same thing. [03:36] wildman_: I don't know. Ask yourself this question: How can I narrow it down just one more time? Think of a diagnostic test that will rule out certain components. You know the first test I'd try? Go to each of those other 11.10 computers and see if *they* can see the other computers. [03:36] how do I install cg compiler? [03:36] cmake tells can't find cg_compiler [03:37] no it dose the same on all of them [03:38] OK wildman_, next test -- try pinging between these ten boxes. I really should have suggested that five suggestions ago. [03:38] same error the frist time then just the windows icon shows [03:38] wildman_: are all the computer gnu/linux based? alternatives to MS's SMB sharing would be SSH or NFS. [03:38] OK wildman_, ping others from the one, and then maybe from another. Do the pings work? [03:38] hi all, is there anyone who can help me with a webcam issue with skype? [03:40] ok how do i get the ping thing i was just there the other day and forgot how i got there === avery is now known as hackview [03:41] wildman_, You can ping from terminal or "System > Administration > Network tools" [03:41] oh ya thanks i forgot how i got there [03:42] is there a health chatroom here? [03:42] i have an issue with my webcam, i have installed cheese and its running but when i try to use skype my webcam doesn't come up on the other side, im using a laptop to test it, can anyone help me please? [03:42] wildman_, I'm currently on 192.168.100.2, and I want to see if I have connectivity to 192.168.100.96, so I do this command from the command prompt of 192.168.100.2: "ping 192.168.100.96", and don't include the quotes. Ping is your most basic network diagnostic tool. If ping doesn't work, then probably nothing will, except if they have an IMCP blocking firewall, and you don't need to know that yet. [03:42] jen_: i don't think there is a Health dedicated channel on freenode [03:43] Hello, the otherday I purged a ppa, it then uninstalled like over 100 packages, left me with out cammand line, so i used the knoledge i did have to reinstall "ubunut-desktop" wich seemed to get most things working [03:43] it booted and worked fine, now i go to reinstall skype and i get [03:43] awww maaan [03:44] ketterer@ketterer-ubuntubook:~$ sudo apt-get install skype [03:44] Reading package lists... Done [03:44] Building dependency tree [03:44] Reading state information... Done [03:44] Some packages could not be installed.

[03:44] Anyone know what may cause a ubuntu 11 server to boot without attaching a terminal? [03:44] I have to hit f1 to get to a prompt [03:45] * greenwolf is the greatest!! [03:45] rootcoma I had this issue on my box for awhile [03:45] rootcoma: it's plymouth [03:46] can anyone help me with my webcam issue please? i need to get this working before the morning [03:46] zykotick9: Is that to say that it is working as designed? [03:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/850887/ [03:47] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_at_2012-02-20_20_46_01-Kqfv3Qyz.png [03:47] rootcoma: not really, there was a bug about server/plymouth having to alt+f1 in Lucid... [03:47] this is what it did [03:47] ubuntu servers are slow lately [03:48] zykotick9: Thank you [03:48] wildman_, OK good, you know you have connectivity. How do you narrow it down more? Think of a good way and tell me. [03:48] does anyone know how to reinsall all the packeges that i lost OR fix my dependancies problem [03:48] ketterer: if you have broken packages you can try "sudo apt-get -f install" as a general fix, but doubt it will do anything. [03:49] it has not [03:49] Hey wildman_, I think the reason we've reached an impasse is neither of us knows exactly what Nautilus does or how it works or how it detects other hosts or how to configure it. It would help to read documents about Nautilus. [03:50] i tried 'sudo apt-get clean all' and 'sudo apt-get -f install" and 'sudo apt-get update' [03:50] ok thanks i will go and see what i can learn then thanks for your time wildman [03:51] just installed ubuntu. for some reason the laptop fan sound is onn full at all times. can't find a way to fix it [03:51] laptop fan runs on full. [03:51] ketterer, you may need to reinstall if you removes repositories and do not know what got uninstalled. [03:52] it as an added ppa, and i do have the history in USC that shows what was remvoed [03:52] ok going to ask again, can anyone help me with a webcam issue with skype on ubuntu? i installed a program called cheese, start that up but when i go on and call myself on a laptop, im using a desktop on here, i can't see myself with my webcam on this computer [03:54] ketterer, then if you can do updates, you likely will need to systematically reinstall everything that got uninstalled. then remove what you don't want when it's working. [03:54] hmm ok [03:55] ketterer, it's a pain, that's why I suggested reinstal. Likely faster. [03:55] i dont mean to be lazy, but is there a way to make a list of all the packeges and then install them at once [03:55] GhostWolf: look at Xorg.0.log in /var/log , see if the webcam is mentioned first, if it is then life is a bit easier [03:55] ok i get it [03:55] i will try do it [03:56] almoxarife, um just sec i always have an issue with my webcam, normally in windows i use software to be able to use it, but i know with linux/ubuntu its difficult [03:57] GhostWolf, if it works in cheese, I doubt it's an issue with the cam. I bet it's just getting skype to use it. That's where I get lost. :) GL [03:57] su dhclient why not work ? [03:58] Xeneth, well i have issues with any program not getting it to work, like amsn or skype, even those sites that you can use your webcam on === stevelitt is now known as stevelitt_away [03:59] GhostWolf, I thought I saw you state that cheese worked. did I mis-read? [04:00] Xeneth, did i say it didn't? sorry it does work i can start cheese and my webcam's light comes on and i can see myself in the window on cheese [04:00] sorry if i said it didn't or interpit that id didn't work [04:01] and for as with almoxarife's post i have the log opened its a big log, so i don't know where to look [04:01] GhostWolf: nevermind the log, your issue is configuring skype to use the webcam [04:01] has anyone tried the linux mint mate desktop with ubuntu [04:01] GhostWolf, so that verifies the drivers and hardware. It's making it accessable by other programs where the issue sounds like. [04:01] almoxarife, ok do you know how i would do that? === mbeierl1 is now known as mbeierl [04:01] Xeneth, so if cheese works its the driver issue then? [04:01] GhostWolf: i did it once, skype has a configuration screen, find it === Gskellig|away is now known as Gskellig [04:02] GhostWolf, if cheese works, the drivers work [04:02] anybody help me get my laptop to output to the TV? [04:02] almoxarife, when i installed it on the laptop which did the config, but when i installed it on this pc, it didn't and i see the video section in options for skype but don't see any configuration [04:03] hello [04:03] GhostWolf, it's a bit out of my area, I'm a network guy. Just wanted to point that out so it narrows down your search. [04:03] Xeneth, ok thanks [04:03] blud: Do you have the tv connected to the laptop? [04:03] GhostWolf: I think this is the v4l vl42 compatibilty problem with skype http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/219 [04:03] yes :) [04:04] ! who | blud [04:04] blud: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:04] i installed a new drive to add more space for /var/www/pub should i mount the new disk to /var/www/pub or mount it to /mnt/disk3 and link folder pub to /var/www/pub ? [04:04] GhostWolf: are you saying that the configuration options for skype look different depending on the platform? [04:04] sacarlson, that looks like its for linux mint distro, not ubuntu [04:04] GhostWolf: sorry that's v4l v4l2 and they have a posible fix in that link but I failed to get it to work for me, I ended up getting another $10 cam that did work [04:05] soreau: yes i have the tv connected to the laptop [04:05] GhostWolf: mint is almost the same we use the same libs [04:05] almoxarife, no i am saying i don't see any config for the video at all it just has the video option under the options for skype on ubuntu [04:05] blud: Did you try gnome-display-properties to see if it's detected? [04:05] sorry i missed the last ten mins [04:05] i thought i minimized it [04:06] GhostWolf: you can do modprobe -l |grep v4l and see if your cam is v4l or v4l2 compatible [04:06] soreau: well i clicked on Monitors and it does see 2 monitors one being the laptop and the other being the vga out I guess. Or if I do xrandr it sees 2 screens you know [04:06] blud: Can you pastebin the output of xrandr? [04:06] blud: to pastebin.com [04:06] when i go to video devices almoxarife it has a popdown menu to choose the webcam and the only thing i can select is what it shows which is Camera (/dev/video0) [04:07] sorry to ask and leave, But is there a way you can just install all packages that were removed [04:07] soreau: I'll have to get the laptop online first , but i'll go do that now [04:07] sacarlson, well im not going to buy another webcam really, don't have the money and i need to get this to work by the morning [04:07] GhostWolf: well then you you could try the preload as instructed in the link [04:08] im looking at that right now sacarlson [04:08] GhostWolf: ok, the only option is /dev/video...... ? [04:09] almoxarife, for the camera yes thats the only thing that is on the dropdown box for the video device on my skype on this machine. just want to make sure im using ubntu on this pc not the laptop [04:10] GhostWolf: want to make sure ........ using ubuntu????? not sure? [04:11] almoxarife, im just telling you this machine im talking to you from is the ubuntu machine, cause im trying to test my webcam on skype on a laptop [04:12] GhostWolf: you have skype ready to make a video/call otherwise? on what ever machine, shut it down, restart and go into the call process [04:14] well, new problem, it says something like wireless network not available firmware not installed [04:15] Could someone point me to a step by step on how to setup dual display on 11.04, GPU is Radeon X1600. What I would like is one display at 1024x768 and the other one at 640x480. Is that something possible? [04:15] Anyone know: Are all the next ubuntu release's plan on having the new interface? (unity?) === snivy is now known as rogaps [04:16] hackview, Likely, not sure. I am seriously considering switching my laptop to fadora over it. [04:17] damn he left, i don't know if he meant this pc or the laptop :S [04:17] hackview: yes [04:17] Is Fedora on their game again now? I thought the ubuntu series were doing the best for user friendly *nix desktop (not serv) hopefully secure too! [04:18] !fedora [04:18] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [04:18] "on their game"? [04:18] fedora was sucking for a few versions :) [04:19] you could use xbuntu with xfce or something [04:19] hackview not exist dhclient in ubuntu? (su dhclietn) not work [04:19] GhostWolf: as you can see ubuntu has the same problem with skype http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-997807.html [04:20] what does it mean? [04:20] it means "doing a good job".. making a good product, etc [04:20] sacarlson, yea i know but normally i don't know if its with the webcam i use or not cause my webcam is somewhat old but works fine [04:21] GhostWolf: yes the old cams us v4l and new cams v4l2 that's why yours won't work without preload in skype [04:21] sacarlson, skype wasn't preloaded in the version of ubuntu i have if thats what you mean [04:22] xubuntu is more light weight on resources then ubuntu? This would be more secure and faster? :) I run VM's and mess with some games/emulators in ubuntu. Hopefully it all works with no issues. [04:23] hello all [04:23] is there a default /etc/netatalk directory anywhere? [04:23] i just deleted mine ;S [04:24] Question - would I be correct that the syntax rsync -a ssh would be how I would start off the rsync over ssh command for data backup over the network? [04:24] GhostWolf: this is a workaround method to make v4l compatible v4l2 [04:24] btw sacarlson i just did what that first linke you gave me and it works, but i don't know if its the laptop or not but the video for my webcam looks fuzzy and slow on the laptop [04:24] hackview: xbuntu is supposed to be more lightweight but i have read people saying it isnt (idk) === kcm1700_ is now known as kcm1700 [04:25] is it possible to select a session language in lightdm from ubuntu 11.10? [04:26] blud: what do you prefer to run? If you are like me you probably have 5-6 different OS's & screwing around - do you have a #1? [04:29] help [04:29] herofvirtue, no one can't help if you don't ask what you need. saying help would get you ignored just saying [04:30] Hi, [04:31] lol [04:31] sorry was trying to use the help! [04:31] feature [04:32] in ubuntu how to assign a dynamic IP? dhclient not exist? [04:32] trying to get used to triggers again if theres any here [04:32] I'm new to Ubuntu, got 11.10. Currently when I login it freezes within about 5 seconds. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing. I'm fairly certain it's a GPU issue (I have a Radeon 6950) From googling I've read suggestions to use the proprietary AMD drivers but even getting them is tricky when I can't even get a browser opened without freezing.

I'm on another OS now trying to research how to fix it [04:35] i had a question about will i screw anything up if I install kde on my system? [04:36] same machine though yes [04:36] Question - if I rsync data from 1 system to another over the WAN, do I need ssh keys to be in place for it to work? Does rsync depend on SSH? [04:37] roasted: you can use rsync without ssh, if you have some other method of transfering the files (nfs for example) [04:37] soreau: http://pastebin.com/2WHReDH5 [04:37] Boingy: ok, you can work at terminal level on ubuntu? or is it total freeze? [04:37] zykotic10, ssh would be optimal I would assume, eh? [04:37] roasted: ? up to you really [04:37] zykotic10, I'm speaking from a security standpoint. Is there a better option? [04:38] roasted: if security is a concern, use ssh [04:38] thanks. appreciate it. :) [04:38] almoxarife: total freeze. I'm reading now about booting with the option vga=791 but I'm not sure how to do that. If I try to boot normally I can't do anything before it will freeze [04:39] zykotic10, do you know of an rsync based app? I'm debating between walking my parents through setting up an rsync script or if I can direct them to a simple gui. Would you know of any by chance? [04:39] hola guys and gals [04:39] blud: try this in your terminal: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --right-of LVDS1 [04:40] blud: Oh that's what it already is [04:40] roasted: sorry, i've only ever used the terminal command? no idea if there is a gui. [04:40] hi, whats the best way to copy an xp cd - for a friend [04:40] zykotic10, there's many guis actually. I just figured I'd ask. :P [04:40] blud: Well it's usually reported as svideo or something in xrandr.. unless it's maybe a flat screen tv? [04:40] kalimojo, do what ? [04:40] m [04:41] hiexpo make a copy of a cd in ubuntu [04:41] blud: Your xrandr output shows both are enabled and in clone mode at 1024x768 === fireball is now known as fireball124 [04:41] yeah it;s a flat screen tv, im connecting it via vga [04:41] !warez | kalimojo [04:41] kalimojo: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

Also see !guidelines and !o4o [04:41] er [04:41] soreau: yeah it;s a flat screen tv, im connecting it via vga [04:41] blud: If you don't have a signal to the tv I'm guessing it's a driver bug [04:41] soreau: my guess is that my tv does not like that resolution or something so it doesnt like it or something [04:41] kalimojo what kinda cd music etc ? [04:41] hmm [04:42] blud: But try changing the modes [04:42] blud: You could be right, it's just in a wrong mode the tv can't use [04:42] Hi, I want to have an option "open in terminator" in my right click menu instead of "open in terminal" however I have a fresh install of ubuntu natty and dont have "open in terminal" option so it is better to have "open in terminator" pls advice [04:43] soreau: how do i change modes? [04:43] its not a pirate. i bought it and paid for it.now it is corrupt. making a backup copy is perfectly legit [04:43] Hi everyone ! Could someone help ? After restarting apache I've got suddendly a : sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload [04:43] fireball124, change the options [04:43] soreau: btw i beleive its supposed to be 1360x768 [04:43] SSLCertificateKeyFile: file '/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key' does not exist or is empty [04:43] anyone have any idea why my /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf files are gone? [04:43] blud: For instance with xrandr, you would do: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200 --same-as LVDS1. [04:43] i am a complete newbie hiexpo can u suggest me step by step.... [04:43] blud: erm.. no period at the end of that command [04:44] blud: Ok then xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768 --right-of LVDS1 [04:45] soreau: ok i will go try that === zay is now known as kompor-meleduk [04:45] hiexpo pls help [04:45] are there default /etc/netatalk files anywhere?

[04:49] who is the bot in here? [04:49] kalimojo, you will not be able to make a copy of a corrupt CD. It is easy enough to make a slipstream cd that will have all the latest service packs, suggest you google it as it is off topic here. [04:49] fireball124, explain whatyou wanna do ?

[06:07] ActionParsnip: thanks :)) i'll wait for your recommendation, i really want to usu ubuntu lol [06:08] NyLes: looks fine, you will need to have the proprietary driver installed for it to work [06:09] ActionParsnip: i tried installing it but still no video.. [06:10] NyLes: if you have the driver installed, you can run: sudo nvidia-xconfig and get an xorg.conf file made for you [06:10] NitroTiger: I had to setup a script to bring up wireshark as sudo, I'm not sure it will run any other way than sudo [06:10] gksudo is recommended since it's a GUI. [06:11] Isn't there any work around [06:11] ActionParsnip: ok, i'll try it again.. i should install nvidia-96 right? may video card is NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 [06:11] TheMaster: NitroTiger: agree'ed gksudo should be used [06:12] NyLes: worth a try, you may want to stick to nouveau [06:12] ActionParsnip: ok but how can i use nouveau? [06:12] Well that works but what exactly hides interface to be seen by normal user [06:13] NyLes: uninstall the proprietary driver and it will be used by default, or change the driver line in your xorg.conf file [06:14] ActionParsnip: im using ubuntu 10.04, i click system > administration > hardware drivers [06:14] sorry guys.. my computer froze. i'll repost the question: having trouble with installing ubuntu (xubuntu specifically), my live cd boots and i can install to HD fine, but when i reboot to run the system hangs and i can't boot up.. where should i start troubleshooting? [06:14] ActionParsnip: and it says the driver is not activated. what will i do now? [06:14] NyLes: ah, ten the default will be nv, not nouveau [06:14] NyLes: considered using Oneiric, the later drivers and such may help [06:15] ActionParsnip: how will i use ? so i will just ignore what the Hardware Drivers prompt to me that the driver is not activated? [06:15] NitroTiger: I think it has to do with it needs to change the nic to be in promiscuous mode so that in this case requires a sudo to change [06:15] NyLes: you could try: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [06:16] xchrisx: what GPU do you use? [06:16] ActionParsnip: i thought i i should stick with nouveau? [06:16] You might be right [06:16] NyLes: not sure nouveau is in Lucid, I could be wrong [06:16] ActionParsnip, Nvidia Quadro FX 580 [06:17] NitroTiger: you could probly find a way to allow a standard user priv of changing nic's to promiscuous but I'm not sure how [06:17] ActionParsnip: what about the one you mentioned? Oneiric? [06:17] NitroTiger: you might want to do an internet search for a debian mailing list post from 2011 entitled "Running Wireshark as non-root in squeeze" i'm not sure if the solution(s) provided will work in ubuntu, but there's a chance. good luck. [06:18] NitroTiger: oh you could add your user to a group in sudo that can only run wireshark as sudo [06:18] Hi I really need help! My computer wont boot! this is the error: "Aggregation not enabled for tid because load = 0" Has anyone ever seen it? If you can help I'll make you cookies! [06:18] what is Oneiric? [06:18] I already did that [06:18] !cookie > Ja23 [06:18] Ja23, please see my private message [06:19] looks like a bunch of hits on that on google Ja23 [06:19] sry i know nothing about it, looks like some wireless network problem though on google [06:19] sacarlson: and I found some documentation jus for that.. [06:19] NitroTiger: cool deal [06:20] !oneiric | NyLes [06:20] NyLes: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) is the current release of Ubuntu | Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1110 [06:20] ActionParsnip, if it helps: i'm installing from xubuntu 11.10 live cd (booting into cd then installing), and when i reboot the system hangs on a different message each time (one was about checking battery status, though i'm on a desktop) [06:20] xchrisx: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [06:21] ActionParsnip, when i boot into the live cd or from the hd? [06:21] xchrisx: both if necessary [06:22] ActionParsnip: ow i see.. i've removed nvidia drivers, i should restart now then nouveau will be be automatically used? if there is? [06:23] NyLes: not sure nouveau is in Lucid, you will use the nv driver which should work [06:25] ActionParsnip: if i use nvidia drivers, the xorg.conf that i showed you will be the exact xorg.conf that will be generated? [06:25] NyLes: the one generated will be slightly different but that one looks great :) === zth_ is now known as zth|away [06:27] ActionParsnip: do you think it will work if i overwrite the one generated by nvidia with the one i just showed you? [06:27] Hi,does anyone know in mldonkey why still forbid me when i have added my IP in allow_ips? [06:29] NyLes: worth a try, rename the current one so you can keep the text [06:30] ActionParsnip: whats the difference with nvidia-96 and nvidia-96-modaliases? [06:30] yiyezhou123: Did you restart the program/service? [06:31] TheMaster: Hi,i input "mlnet" in command line. [06:31] NyLes: the modaliases are what the additional drivers app uses as far as I am aware... [06:31] ActionParsnip: thanks.. [06:32] anyone have trouble getting multiple monitors to work with nvidia? [06:32] !anyone | goddard [06:32] goddard: 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. [06:33] yiyezhou123: Since it works on a client/server model, I'd think you'd have to do something like `sudo service mlkonkey restart`, but that's all I can say on the subject as I haven't used it. [06:33] yiyezhou123: For more info on the subject, you could see their wiki at http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/Allowed_ips [06:34] ActionParsnip: by the way, what iam following is this http://blog.martinsladek.com/2010/07/linux-nvidia-legacy-geforce2-96.html but with different drivers course. [06:34] Is there a recommended workaround for sudo having a different PATH than what is normally in the bashrc? [06:34] TheMaster: Thank you Master,I will try it. [06:34] Hope it helps! [06:34] Axsuul: what do you mean [06:35] Ben64: echo 'echo $PATH' | sudo sh AND echo $PATH give me two different paths [06:36] Axsuul: edit the .bashrc file (or each user) or add a symbolic link to where it now says it is [06:36] Hi there! [06:36] I'm curious about firefox versions. [06:37] Axsuul: oh sudo echo $PATH would probly be the .bashrc seen in /root/.bashrc [06:37] Before the last update I had firefox version 3.*.* and after update I have firefox of the 10.0.2 [06:37] shelest: they have biger firefox versions and smaller ones, what can I tell you [06:38] shelest: yes, 10 is the new version [06:38] sacarlson: I got it load under normal user with help of libcap2-bin [06:38] sacarlson: uses the same as my user here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/850984/ [06:38] NitroTiger: is there some config for libcap2-bin? [06:38] ActionParsnip: apt-get install done, what's next? === urlin2u is now known as urfr332gO [06:38] hi, is anyone familiar with apache rewrite mod? how can I put multiple rules in one virtual host config file? eg: 1, http://pastebin.com/b1AR6XLd 2, http://pastebin.com/KBGrhx8J thanks. [06:38] NyLes: reboot, see what happens [06:38] does it mean that they just skipped 7 major versions or what? [06:39] shelest: they've been updating quickly [06:39] shelest: why is the version number of any value? [06:39] * shelest curious about the major changes in each version. [06:40] shelest: the change logs onlinewill probably say what's new in each [06:40] ActionParsnip: WOW, it boots for the first time without the "nomodeset" option :) [06:40] sacarlson: No make sure that it is present and then something like. setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap [06:40] shelest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Firefox_%28Rapid_release_development_cycle%29 [06:40] shelest: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/releases/ go crazy [06:40] NyLes: nice [06:40] I'm kinda conservative with numbering. te version changes in my understanding requires major and valuable updates [06:41] sacarlson: And some more and it shows all adapters [06:41] ActionParsnip: how will i know if the card is installed? the resolution seems low [06:41] shelest: mozilla team have increased release frequency [06:41] NyLes: run the nvidia settings app [06:41] NyLes: if you get an error message, its not loaded [06:41] NitroTiger: ya it seems older versions of wireshark we didn't need to sudo so I guess they used some similar method before [06:42] ActionParsnip: nvidia settings app? how? [06:42] sacarlson: have any idea how I might be able to get this to work? It seems like the PATH isn't getting passed along https://gist.github.com/77021d5d6070d807a6b4 [06:42] NyLes: nvidia-settings [06:42] ActionParsnip: i again accesed hardware drivers and it say, driver is activated but not in use? [06:42] NyLes: under system menu, or press ALT+F2 and run: nvidia-settings [06:42] can I make "that's what she said jokes" with a girl ? I mean, is it something that people would do ? [06:42] the next news will be: Firefox 11 released. Major changes: Version number [06:42] Axsuul: sudo whereis aplicationofinterest [06:43] shelest: then go complain to mozilla? [06:43] average_drifter: no, and also off topic for this channel [06:43] just curious [06:43] shelest: its just a number [06:43] I'm wanting to remove some old backup directories on a flash drive. Even as root I get the message that it's a read-only file system. I can't change the perms because of the read-only problem. Any pointers? [06:43] sacarlson: that doesn't give me the proper path [06:44] it just gives a blank [06:44] pangolin: you're an off topic nazi [06:44] stercor: is the partition healthy? [06:44] ok fine [06:44] ActionParsnip: y [06:44] i'm just too old for that shit. :( [06:44] ActionParsnip: AFAIKT [06:44] stercor: if it's uhealthy and the OS detects it, it will be mounted read only. [06:44] average_drifter: doesn't change the fact that your question has nothing to do with Ubuntu [06:44] stercor: what file system does it use? [06:44] vfat [06:44] Axsuul: what path does it give you? I'm sure it's not a perfect method but just create a sybolic link to where it says it is [06:45] shelest: please mind the language [06:45] pangolin: maybe it has, I was actually discussing with a girl some ubuntu-related topics and then I wanted to make such a joke [06:45] pardon my French. [06:45] stercor: get t checked (wth the partition unmounted) so that you know its healty [06:45] ActionParsnip: it says, that i am not using nvidia x driver? [06:45] pangolin: and I didn't know if it's something people would do so I came to #ubuntu to get my question answered [06:45] sacarlson: What you mean - I'm on 1.6.2 [06:45] pangolin: just drop the NAZI attitude, kthx ! [06:45] average_drifter: This is a support channel, not a relationship advice channel. [06:45] ActionParsnip: please edit your x configuration file? [06:46] NyLes_: then run: gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what is going on [06:46] hello all [06:46] pixelhack: hey there [06:46] NitroTiger: way older I guess like back in 2007 or 2008 versions [06:46] Ben64: thanks buddy [06:46] pangolin: ...pff [06:46] not much just working on installing arch [06:46] NyLes_: I suggest you wipe out Lucid and install Oneiric, it will probably work a bit better [06:47] in the virtual machine what about you silverlion? [06:47] pangolin: you're a complete NAzi [06:47] NitroTiger: you don't have sudo priv so you looking for a work around? I thought you found the solution [06:47] average_drifter: enough with the godwin. [06:47] pixelhack: lying in bed being sick :( but we better go for an offtopic channel ;) [06:47] ActionParsnip: but i think my drivers won't be recognize there. I've tried 10.10 and it doesn't recognize my video card [06:47] sacarlson: Yes I got work around [06:47] pixelhack: this is for support mostly [06:47] ahhh ok [06:47] oh ok [06:48] sorry second time in xchat [06:48] ActionParsnip: the log ahs a lot of text, which part of this? [06:48] average_drifter: maybe you could try #ubuntu-offtopic [06:48] if it's related to Ubuntu but not actually Ubuntu support [06:48] pixelhack: no need to be ;) just follow me in #ubuntu-offtopic by typing /join CHANNEL NAME [06:48] NyLes_: read it, it shows the x server being built [06:50] pangolin: you're a fubbling NAZI .. stop acting like a NAZI, I'm free to ask what I want where I want, and this channel is no exception, please /part if you feel you don't like it [06:50] pangolin: or please /ignore me, if you don't like what I have to say, I don't give a fumble [06:50] Can I have a question about English? [06:51] shelest: i'd ask in a language channel. This is ubuntu support [06:51] it is connected to Mozilla [06:52] shelest: ok, shoot [06:53] Can I describe the situation with firefox releases: demonstrative activity simulation? [06:53] anyone know if i can do anything equivalent to iptables --log-uid with ufw ? [06:53] * shelest not an English speaker [06:53] rlankf0 ufw is iptables, just cut-down; if you know what you're doing, save yourself the hassle and just write your firewall in iptables [06:54] shelest: what is your native language? [06:54] Russian [06:54] shelest: that is one of those i failed to learn ^^ [06:54] shelest, try ##english [06:54] ok thanks :) === ab_ is now known as Guest83295 [06:56] test [06:56] rdw200169: doesn't look like i can do it with ufw command line tool but i can add the rule to before.rules, thanks. === abcd_ is now known as Guest64315 [07:01] ActionParsnip: fsck fixed some stuff; the flash drives are mounted vfat/rw, but I can't remove files. [07:02] ActionParsnip: mkfs? clean off everything and start over? === Silverlion_ is now known as Silverlion [07:04] in ubuntu 11.10, my laptop screen dims after 10 seconds of idle time when unplugged. how do i make it wait longer than 10 seconds? [07:05] ActionParsnip: weird, after generating the xorg.conf then reboot, it won't show anything again just black.. [07:05] 全是英文交流？ [07:05] guys i install gnome on ubuntu 11.10 , how in the hell i can put a launcher on the botton panel for show the desktop ? [07:06] las_, join #ubuntu-cn [07:06] sacarlson: It appears.. sudo -i foo works [07:06] how to remove xorg.conf in text mode? [07:07] 使得 [07:07] 是的 [07:07] 看不懂阿 [07:07] Axsuul: cool, I was just thinking about cd /path/to/foo; sudo foo [07:07] !cn [07:07] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [07:08] sacarlson: i failed to mention that the script I was running has a shebang, which relies on the PATH so I can't do that =( === branant_ is now known as branant [07:09] how to remove xorg.conf in text mode? [07:09] bambanx: it's startlingly easy [07:09] how Abooda ? [07:09] bambanx: you just right-click, choose "add to panel" [07:09] Axsuul: ok cool or then you could just use the full pathname then [07:09] NyLes_: "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" should work [07:10] hi bil [07:10] Abooda, when i right click on my gnome on the panel i dont see nothing :/ [07:10] is it possible to upgrade linux-image using dpkg/apt-get? (by update I mean removing the old version.) [07:10] mrantims: maybe, but not good [07:10] bambanx: have you tried this after a re-start? [07:11] Abooda, yeah [07:11] NyLes_: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old [07:11] mrantims: yes, should happen automagically [07:11] Abooda, maybe i need install other things on my gnome [07:11] !precise [07:11] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 - Blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [07:11] zykotic10: ActionParsnip thanks ^^ [07:11] Axsuul: oh unless your script runs other scripts in that PATH, then your solution sounds good to me [07:13] Hello, I get this error after every update http://paste.ubuntu.com/851003/ , anyone may help me please ? [07:14] vidb: what is the output of "lsb_release -sd" [07:16] vidb: maybe remove that repository from your /etc/apt/sources.list [07:16] vidb: edgy? wow [07:17] zykotic10: vidb oh ya that's too old I think [07:17] vidb: mixing debian repos in ubuntu is not advised, nor is it supported. [07:17] Hello everyone [07:17] vidb: what is the output of Ben64's command please [07:18] ActionParsnip, : lsb_release -sd [07:18] ActionParsnip, : Ubuntu 11.10 [07:18] whats the correct way to see what pulled in a package as a dependency? in other words i want to see what package B is a direct dependency of package A. i want to see what package A is exactly [07:18] I have to remove the repository ? [07:19] god-zotac: "apt-cache depends foo" and/or "apt-cache rdepends foo" might help [07:19] vidb: remove the repo, it isn't for your release [07:19] zykotic10:: they don't show the packages that are only installed though do they? it shows everything in the apt cache db installed and not installed, doesnt it? [07:19] vidb: did you do something to your OS to make it 'upgrade' from debian to ubuntu? [07:19] vidb: you could be running a version of ubuntu that is so old that it is no longer supported [07:19] if so that would leave me with another problem, filtering out which packages are actually installed in that output.. [07:20] ahm, how will i know the kernel version of ubuntu i am using? [07:20] NyLes_:: uname -r [07:20] Hello, I can't access websites by url, but I can by their IP, I believe something is wrong with DNS, is there any possibility to set up a local DNS on Ubuntu? [07:20] hey all. anyone know how to get Citrix ICA client working in Ubuntu 11.10? I install it, follow instuctions online, but still it does not run. thnx. [07:20] god-zotac: thanks.. [07:21] And out of paranoia , I do have a list of ip addresses. :D [07:21] god-zotac: depends and rdepends lists what depends and what reverse depends on package "foo" [07:21] helioz: yes you can install bind9 or change dns address to an open one like google at 8.8.8.8 [07:21] zykotic10:: i understand that, but i only want to know what depends on it that is installed. not from everything in the mirrors that can be installed [07:21] helioz: run: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf then retry the web [07:21] helioz: Check /etc/resolv.conf and see what your nameserver is set to there [07:21] Ben64: when i using apt-get install linux-image, it doesn't remove anything. same thing happens with packages like linux-image-server [07:22] ActionParsnip: No, I think I have added it when I applied a Tutorials.. I forgot :S [07:22] vidb: there is a wine ppa if you need one [07:22] Thanks, good day people. [07:22] mrantims: well you can remove old ones with apt-get then [07:22] ActionParsnip: How can I add it please ? [07:23] god-zotac: i take it, you aren't clear on what a dependency is [07:23] vidb: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wine1.3 [07:23] zykotic10:: yes i am very clear on what a dependency is [07:23] vidb: as I said, remove the edgy repos, they will NOT work in your OS [07:23] zykotic10:: heres the deal.. i want to see what depends on mysql.. i want to see what pulls it in. not every package that is available in the repositories that depends on mysql [07:24] vidb: how did you add it [07:24] ActionParsnip: and what about this : deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe , how can I replace it ? [07:24] i forgot to backup my xorg lol, is it ok to just delete the existing xorg then a new one will be generated at reboot? [07:24] god-zotac: so use rdepends then [07:24] vidb: just delete the line [07:24] zykotic10:: rdepends shows the reverse dependencies of mysql that are available. not just the ones installed [07:24] zykotic10:: and depends will show the dependencies that mysql depends on [07:25] i am very clear of that, but i want it to only output in the list it produces packages that i do have installed [07:25] god-zotac: install aptitude, aptitude why mysql [07:25] god-zotac: i'm sorry. I see your point, my mistake [07:25] llutz_:: thank you [07:25] god-zotac: apt-cache rdepends [07:25] soreau:: no, thats not what i want.. [07:26] try it yourself and you will see why.. [07:26] soreau: ;) i does list everything (as i just discovered, not only what is installed) [07:26] god-zotac: you might fiddle a bit with the results to get the _real_ package causing mysql being instlled [07:26] i forgot to backup my xorg lol, is it ok to just delete the existing xorg then a new one will be generated at reboot? [07:27] NyLes_: xorg.conf is NOT autogenerated (in ubuntu) [07:27] NyLes_: no a new one is not generated [07:27] llutz_:: yea what i am asking for is the equivalent to equery d pkgname in gentoo ;) [07:27] NyLes_: thats why I always say to rename [07:27] ActionParsnip: hahaha ok il just reinstall it again.. [07:27] god-zotac: whatever that is, i don't know gentoo except the name [07:27] Ben64: Thanks [07:28] llutz_:: it will show only installed pkgs that are depending on the pkgname you specify in the cmd [07:28] god-zotac: I missed most of the conversation, but "aptitude why packagename" may be what you want. [07:28] ActionParsnip: I found two lines in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy universe and deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt edgy main , well the second one is related to Wine ,I don't know what the first was for and how can I replace it :S [07:28] god-zotac:ok, thats what " aptitude why mysql " does [07:29] vidb: you should comment out any lines with references to ubuntu versions other then the one you are currently running, then run apt-get update [07:29] yep it helps a lot, the apt-cache rdepends is rather useless unless you was just wanting to check every single package in the mirrors that depended on something [07:29] well, probably remove not just comment [07:29] sordina: But should I replace it ? [07:30] vidb: If it isnt for your distro version it likely wont work anyway so get rid of them since it could cause breakage [07:31] meh. this is still not producing anything relevant to the situation.. i have mysql-server installed, and when i pretend to remove it it wants to remove these pkgs: libnet-daemon-perl libdbi-perl mysql-server-core-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5 libdbd-mysql-perl libplrpc-perl mysql-server-5.5 mysql-client-5.5 [07:32] soreau: Ok, thanks. [07:32] however, when i do the aptitude why mysql-server all i get is this: i rsyslog Suggests rsyslog-mysql | rsyslog-pgsql p rsyslog-mysql Suggests mysql-server [07:32] i see no connection in the two.. [07:33] god-zotac: seems you installed recommends/suggests too, not only depends [07:33] god-zotac: Have you tried actually removing it then reinstalling only the package you want? [07:33] llutz_:: funny because i don't have the rsyslog-mysql stuff installed [07:33] vidb: remove both [07:34] soreau:: im just trying to figure out how to see what is pulling things in on ubuntu.. i've not used ubuntu much in the past, and i'm trying to use some common package management features that i see are important.. compared to what i am use to anyway [07:36] god-zotac: So check the depends for each package of interest? [07:36] I have a second problem, when I do 'sudo apt-get update' I get an error asking to 'sudo apt-get autoremove' because a packet called "fgfs-base" is installed and its no longer necessary.. and when I do 'sudo apt-get autoremove' I get this error : E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [07:36] soreau:: depends will just tell what the pkg depends on its self.. rdepends with the apt-cache method will show reverse dependencies of everything available, not just those installed.. thats the point [07:37] !info fgfs-base [07:37] god-zotac: I guess I am not understanding the problem.. sounds like you have everything you need [07:37] fgfs-base (source: fgfs-base): Flight Gear Flight Simulator -- base files. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.0.0-1 (oneiric), package size 197486 kB, installed size 298492 kB [07:37] vidb: fgfs-base is only in debian [07:37] oops, maybe not [07:38] It wont be removed :S [07:38] vidb: See this is why you shouldnt add incorrect repos [07:38] vidb: try this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage [07:39] soreau:: the problem is i don't see a readily available tool to produce output of pkg names that are dependant on the pkg you specify.. its not really hard to see what im wanting.. the aptitude why seems like it would be the right thing, but its not producing any output similar to what packages will be removed when i pretend to remove the pkg that im wanting to know the reverse dependencies of [07:40] god-zotac: But doesnt (pretend) removing the package give you that information? [07:40] zykotic10 how again to stop xserver? i forgot sorry.. [07:41] dependency trees are normally Package A -> Package B -> Package C and so on.. where A is the pkg you try to install, B is a direct dependency of A, and C is a direct dependency of B.. ok say that mysql-server is the C in the equation.. I want to know what A and B are.. [07:41] NyLes_: sudo service gdm stop [07:41] NyLes_: ctrl+alt+f1 then "sudo service gdm stop" [07:41] zykotic10: soreau thanks.. === abhishek is now known as Guest80881 [07:43] hi guys, I just install 11.10 on a machine that already had Fedora16 on an LVM.

I cant even select different audio subsystem (only PA is available) [09:06] danslo: remember to run: rm -r ~/.Skype so you get vanilla settings [09:06] danslo: have you tried removing pulseaudio [09:06] ActionParsnip: and I suppose ubuntu updated its repository because the one I download from the site is the exact same rev as the one installed [09:07] Ben64: and break the other half of my system, I think I'll pass on that one ;D [09:07] astro5: Yea fglrx screwed that up. Try removing that file then reinstalling mesa-common-dev and libgl1-mesa-dev [09:07] removing pulseaudio breaks nothing [09:07] i remove it from all my systems [09:07] ActionParsnip: tried that - I don't think its related... my co-workers experience the same buggyness [09:07] danslo: not sure, as far as I am ware the one on the site is later, which may help [09:07] soreau: so i just need to remove the libGL.so file only? [09:07] astro5: yea then reinstall those two packages and make sure it's restored [09:08] ok, thanks again [09:08] danslo: even works under xpud here... [09:08] Ben64: I've been through enough alsamixer hell in the past .. thanks but I'll pass on that one :) [09:08] danslo: probably solves your problem [09:08] danslo: i always have issues with pulseaudio, removing it works [09:08] what suppose to be the problem when it has no display? is it with the driver or the xorg.conf? this is tiring.. [09:09] ActionParsnip: well it "works"... but it randomly crashes, randomly shows you as online but wont let you send messages or calls, randomly stops in the middle of a call until you kill -9 skype and start it again, etc [09:09] NyLes_: try oneiric, it may help [09:10] danslo: well for some it works, for some it doesn't. since its proprietary crap, you have to accept that or just don't use it.

[09:14] ActionParsnip: no. headphone is muted and i can't change it [09:14] NyLes_: yes, its the minimum. I'd go for Xubuntu or Lubuntu to free up more RAM for your apps [09:14] ActionParsnip: Lubuntu 11.10?

I tried using :~ echo 0:97:0 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan [09:20] However, I get Permission Denied error... how am I supposed to do it? [09:21] MeirD: echo 0:97:0 |sudo tee /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan [09:21] !nomodeset [09:21] 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.

[09:21] MeirD: the file is owned by root, so you will need sudo to edit it [09:21] why mine doesnt work? [09:21] so why not sudo echo 0:97:0 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan [09:22] MeirD: sudo doesn't traverse the '>' operator [09:22] oh, didnt know that. thanks! [09:22] MeirD: the only bitwith sudo powr there is the echo command [09:22] ActionParsnip: how again i can restore the backup xorg? [09:22] NyLes_: rename it with mv [09:22] thnx! [09:23] sometimes when I plug in my 3G usb modem, it doesn't show up in the network panel. 'lshw -C network' recognises it, but says it's DISABLED. Any idea how to enable it? [09:23] ActionParsnip: the nvidia-xconfig automatically backups my xorg.conf and it is xorg.conf.backup [09:24] NyLes_: cool [09:24] ActionParsnip: so how will irestore it? [09:24] NyLes_: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:24] NyLes_: rename the current xorg.conf first [09:25] weird.. I get error: tee: /sys/class/scsi_host/host97/scan: Invalid Argument [09:25] NyLes_: so you have the one currently running [09:25] (and before it echoes "0:97:0") [09:25] MeirD: could always run: sudo -i [09:25] ActionParsnip: how will irename it on terminal? [09:25] ls -l /sys/class/scsi_host [09:25] MeirD: then you can run: echo 0:97:0 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan as you expect [09:26] ActionParsnip: my xserver is not running :D [09:26] NyLes_: look at the command I gave, and think....

[09:45] nicofs: just, i mean, my option for installing cheese would only need under 4mbs [09:45] Has nvidia-glx been dropped in oneiric and precise? I had to install drivers from nvidia to get this card working [09:45] terminhell, cheese requires a lot of libraries that come with gnome that i lack... [09:46] nicofs: idk, wiki some alternatives [09:47] ant_: which chip? [09:47] ant_: that will likely cause problems in the future [09:47] its a geforce 7300 card [09:47] old I know [09:47] nicofs: guvcview I believe [09:47] ant_: newer than what I got [09:47] ant_: install nvidia-current package and it will work [09:47] Re [09:47] Ben64, I am sure it will someday - but I couldnt find a glx package to match the driver in the repositories [09:47] ant_: you should use jockey-glx to install drivers [09:48] ActionParsnip, I did, and it complained there was no glx driver [09:48] Ben64, jockey ? [09:48] err [09:48] jockey-gtk [09:48] ActionParsnip: this is funny, 11.10 now gives me white screen lol.. [09:48] ant_: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot [09:48] ant_: its an application to help with getting proprietary drivers [09:48] NyLes_: blacklist the nouveau driver til you can get updated [09:48] ActionParsnip, hard to run from command line - nouveau didnt work for me [09:49] ant_: run what? [09:49] I did blacklist nouveau based on a bug report, and after installing nvidia-current (and rebooting) X complained that no GLX was available [09:49] ant_: you should really use jockey-gtk to install nvidia drivers, but first try to undo the nvidia.com ones [09:49] ActionParsnip, Sorry, was referring to Ben64 about jockey-gtk [09:50] ActionParsnip: ok thanks.. [09:50] Ben64, does jockey have a command line? If I uninstall nvidia drivers I wont have X working [09:50] ant_: jockey-text [09:50] Ben64, thanks, will try it later [09:51] just apt-getting nvidia-current doesn't activate the driver, which is why jockey is the preferred method [09:51] ant_: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot [09:51] Ben64: it activates it every time here, I've not used jockey for years now [09:52] Ben64, hmm, that could be my problem - X was attempting the nvidia driver, but couldnt locate the GLX, and theres no nvidia-glx package since natty [09:52] ActionParsnip: so you do apt-get install nvidia-current and then nvidia-xconfig ? [09:52] ActionParsnip, thanks - all I needed for 975kB of space... [09:52] Ben64: with sudo, yes [09:52] nicofs: :) [09:52] ActionParsnip: cool, i never knew it worked like that [09:52] nicofs: its default in Lubuntu [09:53] I have a Elantech Touchpad and for some reason I have to touch quite hard for the cursor to move.

[10:00] in the left bar of unity [10:00] ? [10:00] yes it is [10:01] Godfather_: you may need to make a .desktop file for it in /usr/share/applications and it will appear in the list [10:01] http://pointlessprojects.com/media/images/hQhz2.gif What the actual fuck?

You only have about 8Mib to expand which isnt much [10:51] vidb: there is no way to fix it ? [10:51] soreau : there is no way to fix it ? [10:51] lol [10:52] hi! I've installed through unetbootin the daily live. Installation went fine but at boot I don't see grub. in fact it switch immediately to memtest86+ :( [10:52] vidb: Look at the sizes and do the math. There is simply no more room unless you shrink one of the other partitions [10:52] ahel: daily live = precise (12.04)? #ubuntu+1 then [10:53] I've tried to press 'esc' or 'down arrow' but nothing. [10:53] thank you llutz_ [10:53] vidb: Even then you would probably have to delete swap and recreate it at the end of the drive [10:54] soreau: How can I do that ? I'm newbie with gparted. [10:54] vidb: Short answer: Very carefully [10:54] I mean how can I precise the location "at the end" or not [10:54] ! gparted | vidb [10:54] vidb: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[10:55] hi [10:55] I'm trying with wget -S but not only giuve the header, he donload the file as well [10:56] how can i block nouveau? [10:56] vidb: Basically you would just have to do a bunch of moving and resizing then edit /etc/fstab to tell it the new swap location if it changed [10:57] can someone tell me ow ca i block nouveau? [10:57] hey guys some help with this query? http://askubuntu.com/questions/106148/arora-browser-in-lucid [10:57] vidb: So.. delete swap, move sda7 up to create space for swap at the end, then create the new swap partition then shrink sda5 and resize sda7 [10:57] How can I turn off my dial up modem, network card and firewire in ubuntu?

[10:59] soreau: You said "move sda7 up", how can I do that ? [11:00] zykotic10: i know you can help me, i want to block nouveau from installing my video card.. [11:01] !blocklist [11:01] vidb: After you delete swap, then you probably want to go ahead and shrink sda5 then for sda7, just tell it to have no space preceding it [11:02] vidb: If there is no space preceding it, then it should come right after sda5.. [11:02] vidb: You can do probably move and resize sda7 in one step too [11:03] NyLes: echo "blacklist nouveau" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf [11:03] soreau: But why should I shrink sda5 ? I already have 2 Gb of free space (http://i40.tinypic.com/9ub51t.jpg) [11:03] I cannot use it? [11:04] vidb: Well if you only want to consume that unused space, you wouldnt need to [11:05] vidb: I was guessing you would choose a lager size so you wont have to do this again for awhile [11:05] soreau: No, I need just to add the 2Go [11:06] llutz_: thanks.. [11:07] vidb: But if all you want to do is consume that space 1) delete swap 2) edit sda7 and have 0 space preceding and following 3) create a partition in the blank space at the end for swap 4) take note of swaps new name (possibly sda8) then make sure to edit your /etc/fstab on the disk and tell it where your new swap partition is [11:07] vidb: step 2) should effectively move and resize sda7 [11:09] soreau: Ok, thank you! [11:11] howto disable fast user switching in unity? [11:16] hello friends [11:16] having some trouble with internet access. can someone help me? === fireball is now known as fireball98 [11:17] quit [11:18] Hello, I want my gtk2.0 theme to have the background changeable like this theme link http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=3&id=147762&file1=147762-1.png&file2=147762-2.png&file3=147762-3.png&name=Blapplenesss [11:18] How can I change that background? [11:19] Hello. Why doesn't "less" show files that are shorter than one "page" and is there a way to change that behaviour? It's utterly annoying. [11:20] soreau: I forgot to ask you about the /etc/fstab , how can I edit it with the new swap name ? [11:20] Hello, I want my gtk2.0 theme to have the background changeable like this theme link http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=3&id=147762&file1=147762-1.png&file2=147762-2.png&file3=147762-3.png&name=Blapplenesss [11:20] soreau: Actualy I have: # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation [11:20] UUID=9d186a03-9baf-4895-bab1-3424e2bb8838 none swap sw 0 0 [11:21] vidb sudo gedit /etc/fstab then edit and save [11:21] vidb: Dont worry about the fstab file on the live session partition, it will be nuked when you reboot. The fstab file you want exists on the sda7 partition you are resizing. So after you are all finished with gparted, mount sda7 and then access the file [11:21] i am having trouble opening certain websites as Firefox seems to hang waiting for sites like s7.addthis.com, platform.twitter.com, etc. [11:21] Mrokii: it shows them for me... i'm on 12.04 though, maybe it was a bug in previous versions [11:22] if I disable javascript, some sites work, some don't. [11:22] can someone tell me how can I change my background in gtk 2 in nautilus? [11:22] LjL: I've had that for a long time. Whenever I want to view short files, "less" doesn't work and I have to use "more". [11:22] soreau: Yes but what I have to put in it exactly ? [11:22] I want to change it like the creator did in that theme [11:22] fireball98: i think nautilus file browser, you can do Edit > Backgrounds and Emblems > add a new pattern [11:22] Mrokii: well there doesn't seem to be a bug reported about that. out of curiosity, what happens? does it just exit to the shell without saying anything? [11:23] LjL: It shows nothing at all in that case. [11:23] Just returning to the prompt. [11:23] fireball: then just drag + drop the pattern into the browser window [11:23] vidb: The uuid will probably change after you recreate swap so do this to find it: [11:23] ! uuid | vidb [11:23] vidb: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [11:23] Mrokii: "less --version" less 436 (maverick 10.10) shows even oneline-files [11:23] vidb: And then just replace the new uuid value for the swap line [11:24] soreau: Ok, thanks! I will try [11:24] anyone here knows how to fix the javascript issue?

[11:26] I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and all sites work fine. But I decided to come back to 11.04 and issue is still there [11:26] anyone here who can help me with this? [11:26] bc81: hey wait i dragged it in the file browser and it works! [11:27] bc81: wow! [11:27] soreau? [11:27] maybe you can help? [11:27] bijoy: Yes? [11:27] my browser (firefox, chrome, midori) hangs at random sites waiting for platform.twitter.com, s7.addthis.com etc [11:28] bijoy: if more then one browser is doing it. then tht would point to a dns lookup. or other networking issue. [11:28] but Dr, I upgraded to 11.10 and sites work fine then [11:29] i decied to come back to lucid lynx, and the issue persists [11:29] bijoy: Yes check /etc/resolv.conf for your nameserver in each distro [11:29] Mrokii: do you use less -F option? [11:29] My logic is still logical.. :) [11:29] lucid != 11.04 [11:29] :) [11:29] bijoy: try setting the system up to use the opendns, or google's dns servers. as a test to see if it helps. [11:29] I am a newbie. let me check friends. and will get back. thanks [11:30] can I safely install KDE to a system which already has gnome and xfce? [11:30] isnnnn: yes [11:30] isnnnn: you can [11:30] Dr, I am not sure how to do that. My resolv.conf has only three lines which actually don't make sense to me [11:30] isnnnn: yes [11:30] # Generated by NetworkManager [11:30] nameserver 218.248.245.1 [11:30] nameserver 218.248.255.139 [11:30] great, thx :) [11:31] The network manager tool lets you change your dns servers. thats how i normally do it. [11:31] nameserver = dns server. [11:31] bc81 what is the maximum resolution for the background pattern? [11:31] 'domain name server' ;) i think. = DNS [11:31] this is a ridiculous question, and yes i have actually Googled this, but how do i stop netstat when you set it to run continuously? what's the command to quit? [11:32] okay, got that Dr. but can you guide me on how to do that? [11:32] meberhart: if its a cli app - try ctrl-c [11:32] i did [11:32] meberhart: ctrl-c [11:32] bijoy: not right now.. heading to work. may be back on later. [11:32] byeeess. [11:32] okay, thanks for your help Dr [11:32] maybe it's not working because i'm using an SSH client other than Putty? [11:32] ?? [11:33] Soreau, maybe you can still help me with this? [11:33] i finally got it with ctrl+Q [11:34] how do I change the DNS in the network manager? [11:34] bijoy: Just comment both out (put a # at the beginning of nameserver) and then add one that says nameserver 8.8.8.8 [11:35] then test it [11:35] ok [11:36] soreau, do I need to restart the computer? [11:36] no [11:36] should take effect as soon as you save the file [11:37] then I think it does not fix the issue. for example Yahoo mail login hangs at "connected to s.yimg.com" [11:37] bijoy: What does sudo route show for your default gateway? [11:38] default gateway - 117.213.0.1 [11:39] bijoy: And that is the ip of your modem or router? (whatever is providing internet to this machine) [11:40] not sure. but i don't have a fixed ip for my connection [11:40] bijoy: does it work in a live session the same way? [11:40] have not checked lucid in live session, but the new version 11.10 in live session works fne [11:40] fine [11:41] hi, I have ntfs partitions on my disk. how to mount it permamently? [11:41] bijoy: Im not really sure but the experts in ##networking may be able to help if you ask nicely and wait patiently [11:42] woozly, add it to fstab [11:42] oh ok i join just like i joined #ubuntu, right? [11:42] bijoy: since it works fine in a live session, it should just be some configuration somewhere [11:42] bijoy: yea /j #channel [11:42] thanks for your help Soreau [11:43] No problem [11:43] woozly add it in /etc/fstab === max is now known as Guest98614 [11:43] guys, how to determine UUID? and where to mount it? [11:43] ! uuid | woozly [11:43] woozly: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [11:44] llutz: no, I don't use the -F option. Maybe there is some configuration that makes less use that automatically? [11:47] woozly, just run blkid as root, then use that in the same fashion the rest of fstab is laid out [11:47] Nwf4YrLG [11:49] hi [11:49] I try to find the section services at start in Ubuntu 11.11 : where is it ?
