[00:01] t432, are you using the B43 driver? [00:01] Dr_willis_, better rc.local than fstab? [00:02] gordon1234: im not sure...it came with ubuntu installation - worked automatically so I didnt need to play about with it. [00:02] t432, if you click on the network connection and lock at connection information, it should tell you the driver [00:03] Thats the beauty of Ubuntu 11.10 :) [00:03] krambiorix, fstab is designed for such tasks.. [00:03] Hey all, I have two systems here. Both systems are running 11.10. One plays mts files in totem and in vlc the other only plays the audio while showing the pink screen. Anyone know whats installed on the first system that's allowing this to happen? [00:03] how can i blacklist a driver? by adding blacklist (driver) in the blacklist.conf right? [00:03] !blacklist [00:03] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [00:04] Dr_willis_, thanks.. but how come it doesn't change anything? can you tell me what are the drivers for video card? im using nvidia graphics card.. [00:05] y [00:05] Dr_willis_, ok thx! [00:06] nyles, no idea really - If its a 3 yr old laptop with a dual video setup. it must be some thing rather unique for the time. === max is now known as Guest73637 [00:06] nyles, you may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com for that exact laptop make/model. [00:06] Dr_willis_, would you believe that this PC is more than 10 years old? [00:06] gordon1234: lsusb out says [Broadcom 4320] [00:07] im assuming that is the driver [00:07] nyles, time to save up your lunch money then. :) [00:07] Anyone might know why blender keep crashing on my ubuntu server but not on windows? It only happens on scenes with heavy particle effects. [00:07] gordon1234: network connections gives me no driver info... whats the terminal command? [00:07] * Dr_willis_ waits for the Cherry Pi - Uber-mini-pc thing to start shipping. :) [00:07] Blender chat seems kind of dead [00:08] Dr_willis_, is there no other way than that? lol hahaha.. i want to use this even if this is too old.. [00:08] Dr_willis_: I'm up for a cotton candy :) [00:08] nyles, no idea. with a 10 yr old laptop. you are lucky it even boots really... [00:09] t432, ah. Its not active, so no driver is loaded yet. [00:09] nyles, if the system is more than ten years old its graphics card is probably not supporting dual monitors. Either that, or there's no drivers that would do that because the card is likely far past its production end dates. [00:09] How do I make it so that I can access the grub menu during startup? I need to revert to the previous kernel. [00:09] have you guys ever seen what happens to old computers? They ship them to africa where they throw them in a big fire to melt the metals out :P [00:10] Dr_willis_, i can't seem to find the my_blacklist.conf that the both is pertaining to, am i the one to generate it? [00:10] savid: HOLD shift after BIOS [00:10] EvilResistance, im not trying to use dual monitors.. ^^ [00:10] Zykotic, tried that, doesn't seem to work. [00:10] * EvilResistance misread then [00:10] t432, have to dash, but there are a few hits on google about 4320s and getting them to work. Good luck [00:10] EvilResistance, im just trying to solve the black screen.. [00:10] gordon1234: but im connected? [00:10] nyles, it may still be the card. [00:11] http://www.kfpe.ch/projects/echangesuniv/pics/zumbuehl_URC_electronic_scrap_stockpile.jpg [00:11] ok [00:11] Pidgin source has configure script that uses pkg-config to find if libglib is adequately recent. However, the install package for glib doesn't provide pkg-config with information about itself. What do? [00:11] zykotick9, isn't there some way to make it so that grub always shows the menu with a delay? [00:11] nyles, its saying to make one of some name you want. [00:11] Hello, I'm on natty on my laptop, the update manager cannot seem to find oneiric at all, its tracking normal releases, I've tried 3-4 different mirrors including the main server.. [00:11] t432, right click on the wireless icon and select connection information [00:12] EvilResistance, i see, even if this works with windows xp, and puppy linux? [00:12] edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf <------------------------ Pick a descriptive name [00:12] Dr_willis_, ohhh and it will be loaded automatically? [00:12] nyles, thats how it works - I rarely have to mess with blackliusting [00:12] nyles, it could indeed still be the card, but i'll let Dr_willis_ help you out here, i've got a phone call coming in [00:12] gordon1234: Driver: rndis_wlan [00:13] Dr_willis_, these are what i have included in the blacklist, am i missing something? blacklist nouveau [00:13] blacklist vga16fb [00:13] blacklist rivafb [00:13] blacklist nvidiafb [00:13] blacklist rivatv [00:13] blacklist nv [00:13] nyles: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:14] t432, yep. you need to have the b43 driver .... sorry, really need to go now. [00:14] nyles, im not even sure what you are doing, or why you need to be doing all this. [00:14] gordon1234: Before you go ..do i install it with ndiswrapper? [00:14] Dr_willis_, ahh ok thanks.. [00:18] savid: sorry I was AFK, ya check in /etc/default/grub for the setting (don't forget "sudo update-grub" after making any changes) === root is now known as Guest53169 [00:20] Any idea on why I don't get offered oneiric as an upgrade? I'm on natty, update manager is configured to show new releases [00:20] is there somewhere one can view SSH settings in ubuntu 11.10? [00:20] I've tried multiple servers [00:20] !blacklist [00:20] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [00:21] sharpK: what do you mean? you can look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [00:21] pomke: ubuntu box not accepting an SSH connection from a windwos box on same network, I'll check the config file, thanks [00:21] any guides on how to use dual monitor setup in unity [00:22] i'm looking for some sort of application for putting music on to my mp3 player. i know i can just drag and drop but i'd prefer something that would convert if need be and also to change the bitrate as it copies in order to maximize space [00:22] Fudge, depends on yoru video chipset. and unity in 11.10 and befor have 'issues' wth dual monitors - other desktops/wms may work better for you [00:22] sharpK: tail -F /var/log/auth [00:22] then try connecting [00:22] it should tell you what is going wrong [00:23] Dr_willis_ its in natty and precise, but the nvidia settings manager detects the external monitor, restart X etc but it does not come up in twin view etc [00:23] hi all... i am using testdisk to recover my /home partition (ext4) because now it was unknown [00:23] hello someone can help me with export Display configurations ? [00:23] quick search didn't find this partition but deeper search find it [00:24] Fudge, i install nvidia drivers. (reboot so they get used) run the nvidia-settings tool as root, enable twinview, save changes to the xorg.conf then restart X again. (or reboot) [00:24] pomke no such dir? [00:24] pomke: auth.log ;) [00:25] grub used to have menu.lst where I could edit stuff.. where [00:25] ActionParsnip: So: tail -F /var/auth.log [00:25] Dr_willis_ you get asked by gksu to save the file which is in etc/X11 Dr_willis_ , do you still think it woudl need to be ran as root [00:25] my sda have three partition... sda1 is / and it's primary, sda2 is extended and finally in sda2 i have two logical partition, sda5 was my /home and sda6 is linux-swap [00:26] Where does that file exist in oneiric? [00:26] Fudge, you edit the xorg.conf as root.. [00:26] Fudge, i rbun gksudo nvidia-settings normally [00:26] ActionParsnip: ty, that too :) [00:26] is there a way to change my eth0 adapter from and AMD to a standard Intel Pro/1000 ??? I can only get NAT network access no bridged in vmware [00:27] tried tail -F /var/auth.log and then SSHing, connection refused, but nothing showing up in terminal... [00:27] BrendanMcc: i'd ask in #vmware [00:27] BrendanMcc, you mean in Vmware - can you change the virtual nic chipset? [00:27] Dr_willis_: YES!! [00:28] ActionParsnip: I already asked in Vmware [00:28] !vesa [00:28] vesa is the default video driver if X can't find a better one. Also see !x [00:28] sharpK: its tail -F /var/log/auth.log [00:28] I know that virtualbox has like 3 differnt 'nic chipsets' you can select. and then like 3 differnt types of networking for the virtual machine to use. [00:28] hello someone can help me with export Display configurations ? === jpmh is now known as MagicJ [00:29] lucas_: what do you mean? [00:29] Dr_willis_: I know that too... can it be done in vmware that you know of? [00:29] how will i know if im using the vesa driver? [00:29] I am running 11.10 from a usb stick with persistence. Almost eveything seems to be persietnt except when I set hostname it resets to ubunto on each boot = how do I fix that [00:31] ponke should that tail command live update connections accepted/refused? [00:31] pomke: i am trying to export my display at AWS - ubuntu instance to my computer that has Xming installed [00:32] how will i know if im using the vesa driver? [00:32] BrendanMcc, yes you can. I have done bridged and that before with vmware. [00:33] nyles: you could try looking in /var/log/xorg.0.log [00:33] rattatoue: is there a link explaining the procedure or would you mind helping me get it done? [00:34] nyles, or you could try lspci -v and then find your video card maybe [00:34] nyles: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver [00:34] BrendanMcc, it should just be under the settings for that VM. I think its settings then like on the right it says Network or hardware. [00:35] dejahthoris, rattatoue ActionParsnip thanks so much.. [00:35] how would I check in there's some kind of firewall install on 11.10? [00:36] or do I just have to sift through the apps? [00:36] BrendanMcc, try this, might help you out more http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_net_configurations_changing.html [00:36] hello. Where does ubuntu keep the ld linker scripts? [00:37] MagicJ maybe rc.local [00:37] ok, I'm using vesa, if i removed vesa too, will i be able to see my desktop? [00:37] ii am trying to export my display at AWS - ubuntu instance to my computer that has Xming installed...someone can help me? [00:37] chid: why there of all places [00:38] nyles, if you remove the driver that your card is using, then most likely you will get a failed driver problem when you try restarting and X wont load [00:38] rattatoue, thanks.. [00:38] sorry lucas_ , i have no idea how to do that [00:39] thanks!! [00:39] Dr_willis_ strangely plugging another montir on and then the other one made it all work [00:39] but the second server on sperate x server just comes up with grey screen and an X , what do you have to do to send stuff to that monitor [00:40] is it possible to pack a driver from windows to be use in ubuntu? or from puppy linux to be use in ubuntu? [00:40] sup [00:40] !nomodeset [00:40] nyles: what are you asking LOL [00:40] 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 [00:40] nyles: depends on which windows driver [00:41] nyles: want kind of video card do you have? [00:41] ActionParsnip, wow? so its possible? its video card driver.. [00:41] lucas_, this might help you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144669. It talks about that, so might least give you an idea in the right path [00:41] dejahthoris, NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 [00:41] nyles: that should be supported already [00:41] nyles, wait you have a Nvidia card and your running Vesa? Why not just installed the nvidia drivers probably run a lot better [00:42] rattatoue thanks..i am reading this rigth now [00:42] I am not happy === some_new_dud is now known as very_sad [00:42] nyles: no, but some network drivers can be used [00:42] Neither am I! [00:42] dejahthoris, rattatoue that's what i'm doing for the past 2 days, but it will only end up with a black screen or a white screen.. [00:43] nyles: did you try oneiric yet? [00:43] nyles, how are you trying to install the driver? [00:43] ActionParsnip, yeah oneiric gave me white screen :D [00:43] rattatoue, i already tried apt-get install nvidia-96, and also the one in nvidia site.. [00:44] nyles, did you try additional drivers in ubuntu? [00:44] hello there [00:44] nyles: did you blacklist the nouveau driver so you could get a desktop? === kloeri_ is now known as kloeri [00:44] rattatoue, proprietary? yeah i tried it also [00:44] hi JoeSatrian [00:44] Hi ActionParsnip [00:44] ActionParsnip, yeah and nomodeset option [00:44] nyles: strange. do you connect via a wired connection? [00:44] ActionParsnip, without the nomodeset, it just black or a white screen [00:45] Have you problems with overheating in 11.10 to? [00:45] ActionParsnip, nope, LAN.. [00:45] Is there any tool for gnome I can use to rapidly write and execute temporary bash scripts? [00:45] ActionParsnip, strange really, i really don't know what's with Puppy that my card is working perfect.. [00:46] nyles: LAN doesn't tell us the physical media used. You can get a wired LAN and a wired LAN [00:46] *wireless [00:46] nyles: LAN just means your local home network, nothing more [00:46] Somebody have overheating problems when upgraded to 11.10 version? [00:47] JoeSatrian: what make and model system? [00:47] hello [00:47] i need help [00:47] nyles: that would be one of the older nvidia cards, maybe you have the resolution or color depth set out of range? [00:47] ActionParsnip, i don't get it? lol.. [00:47] nyles, did you try installing the legacy driver [00:47] dejahthoris, yeah i think but i don't know what to do lol.. [00:47] ubuntu will not connect to my netgear router [00:48] iii [00:48] any help? [00:48] eae manos [00:48] is it possible to remote control a windows machine from windows using the remote desktop program? [00:48] ActionParsnip: its a Philco model phn14103. [00:49] exscuse me, how do I know if a task, maybe in background, is useing my mic-in input? It is busy and I can't record with a software. [00:49] diverdude: ask in ##windows [00:49] diverdude, if your doing windows to windows why not just use teamviewer or vnc or something? The remote desktop thing is usually a pain [00:49] is anyone going to help me? [00:49] rhobday: what is your issue? [00:49] rattatoue: i didnt set up the server [00:49] rhobday, you just came back, you crashed -.- [00:49] rdp is better than vnc on windows itself [00:49] i know :P [00:49] rattatoue: server only has remote deskcrap [00:50] rhobday: you haven't stated your issue, so how can anyone help at all [00:50] diverdude, pvt [00:50] ubuntu will not connect to my netgear router [00:50] nyles: in /etc/X11 there might be a file called xorg.conf or xorg-conf-vesa. If it's there, you might be able to make a backup of the file and then edit the settings you find in it [00:50] ActionParsnip, ubuntu will not connect to my netgear router [00:50] ubuntu will not connect to the internet [00:50] Or is there any other way to do more dynamic things from the terminal? Such as creating a series of folders according to a "Name " scheme, or quickly moving all the files inside a folder to the parent folder, then deleting that folder? [00:50] rattatoue: what wifi chip does yuor system use? [00:50] it's mine [00:50] rattatoue, yeah i tried installing it too.. [00:50] ActionParsnip, no thats not my question thats what rhobday's question was [00:50] rattatoue: ? [00:50] lotta PEBKAC [00:50] rhobday: no, there is a chip inside your PC or some usb stick which gives you wireless. What is it? [00:51] and i'm running a p7 pavillion 1010 [00:51] dejahthoris, would you believe that i don't have xorg.conf? :) strange isn't? [00:51] rattatoue: wrong target, sorry [00:51] zizoo: I'd ask in #bash they got mad skills [00:51] ugh [00:52] nyles: if you can't eben make vesa work it might be time for a new video card anyways [00:52] Thanks ActionParsnip! [00:52] how can i find the wifi card? [00:52] nyles, I think in oneric they did away with the xorg.conf file..and yeah im with what dejahthoris said [00:52] rhobday: run: sudo lshw -C network what is the product line of the wireless chip (it will take a while to run) [00:52] i'm on windows atm [00:52] as i said ubuntu wont connect [00:53] rattatoue, dejahthoris thanks for the time.. [00:53] rhobday: then boot to ubuntu, run the command, note the product line and reboot to windows. Isn't that glaringly obvious...? [00:53] >.> i'll be back [00:53] nyles, I found this. It might help you some for your card, but beyond this not real sure. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1614347 [00:54] :O I thought he was going to turn green and hulk out on all of us lol [00:54] hi there1 Does anybody know how to realize if turboboost works in ubuntu?

[00:58] algum brasuca por aqui? [00:58] ActionParsnip: turboboost and governor scaling are not the same, imho [00:59] XuMuK: no idea, just something I found [00:59] XuMuK: all my CPUs are circa 2000 to 2005 [00:59] !nvidia-96-dev [00:59] i got the product name [01:00] rhobday: ok what is it? [01:00] Quixotic Quail? is it serious?

[01:01] rattatoue, thanks again man...\ [01:01] nyles, welcome hopefully you get it working! [01:02] rhobday: if you run: lspci >~~/Desktop/output.txt; lsusb >> ~/Desktop/output.txt you can copy the file on your desktop to your NTFS partition [01:02] ugggggggggggghhhhhh so it was decided it might be a layer. [01:02] rhobday, are you on Windows 7 or Vista or XP? [01:02] 7 [01:02] 有这么多人 ::::::many people [01:03] rhobday, Click the flag in the bottom left, then right click Computer. Go to Properties then Devices Manager in the far top left. Then when that comes up click the + next to Network Adapters I think and you should see your wireless there. [01:04] After installing the "b43-fwcutter" and "firmware-b43-installer" for the bcm43 driver - manuals syas the driver will be listed in "Additional Hardware Drivers" just checked it not there [01:04] 802.11n [01:04] wireless lan card [01:04] Do you Chinese people [01:04] thanks rattatoue [01:04] rhobday, it doesnt say something like Netgear blah blah blah or Linksis blah blah blah. It should say something else then just 802.11n wireless land card [01:05] rhobday, and no problem, ive been in your place before lol [01:05] i have the hamachi thing [01:05] rhobday: thats every wireless card ever [01:05] !cn | s7word [01:05] s7word: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [01:05] !cn | s7word [01:05] bah [01:05] heh [01:05] microsoft wirtual wifi miniport adapter [01:06] realtek PCIe FE faily controller [01:06] rhobday, keep going, thats virtual and the hamachi is the vpn in windows. Any other wireless? [01:06] that's all in the netword adapters [01:06] rhobday: yep, windows doesn't tell you anything useful. Thats why you need the commands I gave earlier [01:07] rhobday, your going to have to do what Action told you. Most of the time windows says like Netgear N150 or whatever, but instead yours just says what channel it uses. [01:07] rhobday: its rare for windows users to know or even care what wifi chip they are using [01:07] i know the router [01:07] rhobday: run the command I gave, copy the file and put it in a pastebin, we can then see the interfaces [01:07] but idk the wifi card [01:07] rhobday: the router is moot [01:07] can you repaste the command [01:08] rhobday, rhobday: if you run: lspci >~~/Desktop/output.txt; lsusb >> ~/Desktop/output.txt you can copy the file on your desktop to your NTFS partition [01:08] rhobday: the router could be absolutely anything, it will abide by defacto standards so doesn't matter in any way [01:09] rhobday: lspci > ~/Desktop/output.txt; lsusb >> ~/Desktop/output.txt [01:09] do i run that alone [01:09] or do i use the old command [01:09] rhobday: ubuntu is smart and can write to NTFS, Windows is rubbish and cannot access Ext4 which ubuntu uses by default [01:10] rhobday: yes, the command I gave, run it alone and it will make a file on your desktop [01:10] ActionParsnip, tisk, now, now, lol.:) [01:10] thank you, i will be back [01:10] the world would be a much happier place if windows could access ext4 easily. [01:10] but hey, its microsoft, so probably not [01:10] ActionParsnip, and many other things yeah. :) [01:11] ActionParsnip, it would, if anyone would need it [01:11] One bad problem if Linux was used a lot more then Windows. Is more people would write viruses for Linux. [01:12] Lint: helps for dual booters [01:12] rattatoue, Lint no real cause and effect just fud. [01:12] !av | rattatoue [01:12] rattatoue: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [01:13] rattatoue: there are some viruses for Linux, they are just in Labs [01:13] rattatoue, just assumptions that show the lack of knowledge of open source which runs about half of the servers on the web, and Gogles search engines and many other areas. [01:14] these servers could run System V to the same effect [01:14] I am not assuming anything, I know there are linux viruses. Its simple math. The more people that use a OS and the more popular it is, the more people will write viruses for it. Ergo like Windows is most popular it has more viruses. Just as Linux is hackable so is WIndows Mac etc [01:15] can't seem to connect to wifi, syslog is saying: wlan0 DHCP transaction took too long, stopping. Anyone know why? [01:15] rattatoue, there are none on the web and your simple math. [01:15] rattatoue: its nothing do with popularity [01:15] urfr332gO, kernel.org [01:15] rattatoue, a root kit is not a virus by the way. [01:15] Yes it does, why make a virus to infect us linux users. When make one for Windows and you infect a lot more people [01:15] rattatoue: https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8261-note-to-new-linux-users-no-antivirus-needed [01:16] Okay this talk is pointless, you all are not understanding what I am saying. So its pointless to have this convo lol [01:16] mehwork, are you trying to use dhcpcd to get the wireless working? [01:17] rattatoue: i have no idea [01:17] i'm just using wifi like i always do in ubuntu as far as i know [01:17] mehwork, how are you trying to get your wireless working? [01:17] Lint, right but as far as I have read that breach was not released to the public and the mother kernels so to speak were securely store to be clean. [01:17] i right click on the network icon in the panel and go into 'edit connections' (lucid lynx) [01:17] rattatoue: ^ [01:18] Lint, I'm not arguing that open source is not hackable but use some critical thinking and empirical data in your argument. [01:18] mehwork, are you sure your selecting your wireless network instead of another one? [01:19] i think i messed up [01:19] it said there is no such thing as output.txt [01:20] rattatoue: can you analyze the xorg.conf i got from puppy linux?

[01:23] rhobday: ? [01:23] is there an easier way to talk to you [01:23] NyLes, it may be, idk how the nvidia-xconfig generates that part exactly vs the way puppylinux finds it [01:23] rattatoue: the option with nvidia's xorg is DPMS [01:23] rhobday: you can run gedit and just run: lspci;lsusb then copy the text manually if you want [01:24] if i run that [01:24] does it show like a list of 9 things [01:24] NyLes, sorry what? [01:24] less or more [01:24] !tab > rhobday [01:24] rhobday, please see my private message [01:25] mehwork, it sounds like a driver issue. ActionParsnip might be able to help you with wireless driver problem. [01:25] rattatoue: i mean the option under section monitor with the xorg.conf generated by nvidia is DPMS.. while in puppy it's Preffered? [01:26] ActionParsnip do you want me to run that and tell you the output? [01:26] how do i install tsclient on ubuntu? [01:27] Is there a way to install ubuntu on a PC with no graphics card? It does have an ethernet port and a CD drive. [01:27] NyLes, that might be your problem on Ubuntu. As someone mentioned before you could be going outside of your resolution. Where on puppy linux it sets your resolution to 1024x600 [01:27] hi everybody, should the linux-headers packages take an unusually long time to install ? [01:27] I don't mean "no monitor attached." I mean "no onboard video or video card installed." [01:28] rattatoue: wanna see the one generated by nvidia? [01:28] i'm taking around 5 mins wait so far [01:28] NyLes, Sure. same on pastebin again [01:28] robbie72, depends on your web speed mine load in less then a couple of minutes. [01:28] urfr332gO: web speed? the package has already downloaded, its the installation that seems to be taking ages [01:28] top shows dpkg doing a bit of work [01:28] and the hard drive light is going like crazy [01:29] robbie72, also the mirror speed you can change mirrors. [01:29] its already downloaded [01:29] rattatoue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/852103 [01:29] its the installation of the package thats unusually long [01:29] robbie72, there it is per your hardware really.

Gentoo is grub legacy your going to have to chroot in and purge that install grub 2 and oad the mbr. [01:34] I'n trying to create this file sudo vi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi but when I try to save it I get an error stating that the directory does not exist [01:34] load the mbr that is tim, [01:34] can anyone point to the correct directory when I need to save this file [01:34] ok i have a ubuntu hdd that i have put into a newly bought comp. i booted from the ubuntu disk, and now it wont connect to the internet. [01:35] does anyone know what could be causing this problem? [01:35] its a desktop, and its on a wire. connected straight to router [01:35] if i have an rpm 64bit driver [01:35] can i 100% make a deb out of it with alien? [01:35] urfr332gO: normal ubuntu installation from cd, dedicated hardware etc, no wubi, i had to google to know what it was. [01:35] tim, chroot with a ubuntu cd past 9.10 the install, a cd=to the ubuntu release your running would be ideal. [01:36] robbie72, where on that big of a HD? [01:36] ive had this issue before. but i forgot how i fixed it [01:36] gener1c: yes you should be able to, the docs are a bit confusing for those who dont understand both rpm and deb though [01:36] What will knowing which wifi card i have do anyways [01:36] urfr332gO: i actually only have one flash drive which has gentoo on it [01:37] ok thanks almoxarife [01:37] acidrain, you could try sudo ifconfig eth0 down and then sudo ifconfig eth0 up in terminal. Sometimes that will reload the connection and pull an IP [01:37] ive made it as far as ifconfig eth0 saying that i am connected. [01:37] rattatoue: let me try this [01:37] !tab | rattatoue [01:37] rattatoue: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:37] tim, that wont fix it download a ubuntu cd=to the install best tool you can have for that release. Also is this a standard dual boot or a wubi install? [01:38] rattatoue: still not connecting [01:38] gener1c: 'checkinstall' is also an option if you have the 'source' [01:38] last time, i did some type of manual routing, which i have tried this time to the best of my knowledge [01:38] acidrain, when you type ifconfig does it show an IP? [01:39] urfr332gO: any way i can do it manually? i don't have a cd drive and i don't think i can put something else on the flash drive when that's my only bootable system [01:39] urfr332gO: the partition the root is on is near the start of the hard drive [01:39] on the fast bit [01:39] rattatoue: it will not show unless i manually set the DCHP reservation on the router for 192.168.1.107 and then set that ip as my box, but it still wont go online [01:39] acidrain, okay one sec [01:39] urfr332gO: i'm upgrading kernel and rebooting. [01:40] urfr332gO: i was justing wondering if i needed to be very patient [01:40] or if anything with DKMS may be involved [01:40] as a lirc-source was on this box once [01:40] Where is the hal directory in Ubuntu 11.10?

[01:41] urfr332gO: how about if i installed a newer version of grub? [01:42] tim, how are you going to do that? [01:42] urfr332gO: i appreciate your help, by the way [01:42] pnorman, what? [01:43] spartan2276: what's hal? [01:43] rattatoue: it now shows inet addr: 192.168.1.107, but its not online, cannot connect to google.com [01:43] sorry i timed out, but does that help? [01:43] tim, to be honest a install of any distro without access to its live cd or discs is a mistake. [01:43] acidrain, okay try this in terminal. Ping 74.125.225.111. And see what it says. [01:44] ActionParsnip are you there? [01:44] pnorman, I'm trying to create a file in the hal directory but I guess this is old and does not apply to 11.10, so I'm trying to find out where I need to create this file sudo vi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi [01:44] rhobday: aye [01:44] it's brand is ralink [01:44] if that helps [01:44] tim, you only need a 1 gig partition to load the Ubuntu iso to boot to and fix your setup. [01:44] spartan2276: try doing locate wizardpen [01:45] pnorman, so that I can get my G-Pen F610 graphics tablet to work [01:45] rattatoue: host unreachable [01:45] acidrain, okay [01:45] acidrain, when you type ifconfig you have a inet addr: right? [01:45] spartan2276: oh, the file doesn't exist? look somewhere under /usr/share/hal/fdi I think [01:45] rattatoue: just to be clear, the gateway is my routers ip right? [01:45] pnorman, I'm using this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen. So I already built the driver and install it as well [01:46] acidrain, yes [01:46] urfr332gO: i could try downloading the latest grub release and installing with this live dvd (it seems i can install programs on it); though i understand it's not ideal... [01:46] spartan2276: That being said, I don't know what hal or fdi is, I just located it [01:46] !ralink info [01:46] rattatoue: thats right, but i only have that because i have manually set it.

[01:48] because i've been at the computer for hours [01:48] i just want the internet to work [01:48] tim, your just trying to peck at the setup when you have been given what you have to do, your method will not work most likely. === Ttech is now known as The_Doctor__ === The_Doctor__ is now known as The_Doctor [01:50] tim, this is what you have to do with a iso loaded to a thumb or disc burnt, best done with a equal to the install release. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Purge_.26_Reinstall [01:51] rattatoue: i can't boot now, maybe what i did causes it, i've installed nvidia-96-kernel-source.. im suing lubuntu lol..

[02:39] Ben64: i also reserved it on the router, at this point, it said it was connected. but it lied [02:39] blud: where did you get those numbers from [02:40] "The flash plugin was blocked because it is out of date" [02:40] tintoy: 10.04 has longer support [02:40] Far as I know LTS have longer support. [02:40] 1.00.3 [02:40] blud: ? [02:40] tintoy: instead 11.04 has newer packages [02:40] after i entered 'set -f * ',it can,t explain meta character now ,what should i do [02:40] Ben64: i built them based on a guide about how to do it, and the width and height from my tv manual [02:40] Ben64: ActionParsnip do you have any other suggested ideas? [02:41] tintoy: 10.04 has old stuff [02:41] Can anyone please help? "The flash plugin was blocked because it is out of date" is annoying me on chrome [02:41] 11.04 has newer stuff [02:41] Split window 1: win#1 - Status window, win#2 - Messages window [02:41] In My opinion the sam eleague as Debian. old, but stable. [02:41] PsiKloPx, do you have a question [02:41] acidrain_: try connecting it to a switch and another computer, no router, and setting ip addresses manually [02:42] Ben64: explain? [02:42] blud: because when i do it i get this: Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync [02:42] on the same computer, if i boot from the other hdd, which has windows on it, it works fine [02:42] sorry....pasted a line in the wrong window! [02:42] ActionParsnip: Dell SXPS 16 [02:42] XuMuk: which is much better LTS or Release? [02:42] someone? it's an easy question :D [02:42] acidrain_: linux isn't windows [02:43] Ben64: ok i'll try that thanks [02:43] Ben64: -.- linux till this day has been epic win. [02:43] tintoy: it depends... better for what? [02:43] Xumuk:I will going to use it as a guest os on my kvm [02:44] i'd suggest 11.10, the next release is LTS, and 10.04 is getting kind of old [02:44] Ben64: does it matter what i enter as the client name on the router? [02:45] As heavy windows user i have to ask. What Linux(Ubuntu) users do in case of programm freeze in full screen? :D [02:45] acidrain_: i'm not sure what you mean, which is why i suggested a switch [02:45] netmaniack_: change to tty and fix [02:45] or ssh in [02:45] Ben64:What I'm after on 10.04 LTS is the 5 years support. Would that be reasonable to use? [02:45] and fix [02:45] netmaniack_: ssh in from phone and fix [02:45] someone could help me please? [02:45] tintoy: I don't know... if you don't need the newer packages i'd suggest 10.04 until next LTS's released as it more stable [02:45] Hostname: happyDroid2 - OS: Linux 2.6.32.9-g462500f/armv7l - CPU: ARMv7 rev 2 (v7l) - Processes: 119 - Uptime: 2h 11m - Users: 6 - Load Average: 0.28 - Memory Usage: 326.86MB/477.29MB (68.48%) - SD Card Usage: 7.26GB/7.40GB (98.21%) [02:45] yup [02:46] tintoy: 5 years is server version, the kernel from 10.04 doesn't support newer hardware [02:47] 10.04 can use 3.0+ [02:47] Ben64: Thanks so much for that info [02:47] apt-cache search linux-image....... 3.0.0.4 is on lucid's repos [02:47] very_sad: it won't be supported here if you install a kernel not intended for your release [02:47] hmm [02:47] Can someone please help me?

[02:57] help [02:58] scientes: so i have a windows 7 installation on a 120 gib SSD drive, no problem. installed ubuntu on my slave internal drive, no problem. I want to move my ubuntu partition (or delete/reinstall) onto my solid state drive alongside my windows partition [02:58] amt897: could use dd or rsync [02:58] however, I've tried partitioning in both gparted and windows disk manager to shrink my ntfs partition on the ssd (I have 42 gb free), and each time it doesn't let me shrink by any more than 2 gb. [02:58] well 1. you have to do this from a liveCD amt897 [02:59] doing it from a usb stick ubuntu pendrive [02:59] then 2. resize windows partition, resize down linux partition, copy linux partition, resize linux partition to max size [02:59] also you should probably have a swap partition on the SSD [02:59] actionparsnip: what are those? [02:59] then thats the end of gparted [02:59] yeah, i have a 200 mb swap partition, sorry. [03:00] scientes: swap on ssd? too expensive I guess... [03:00] right-- i try to use gparted. it only gives me 2 gb or so to shrink the partition by [03:00] hrm tintoy, hold on [03:00] Ben64: that made my tv flicker like crazy and be completely messed up :o [03:00] then you 3. mount the new linux root- mount /dev/sdgajgsea /mnt; cd /mnt; mount -t proc proc proc; mount --bind /dev dev; mount -t sysfs sysfs sys; chroot . /bin/su [03:01] only / and /boot should be placed on ssd, the rest is fine where it is [03:01] very_sad: ok I'll wait for your answer. [03:01] it works perfectly fine as-is. there's just something very elegant about having both of my OSes on the same drive [03:01] tintoy: boot ubuntu then remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [03:01] then you 4. sensible-editor /etc/fstab (use output of `blkid`); then update-grub; install-grub /dev/fhdjakgesabuiesa (without a number) [03:01] and then you are done amt897 [03:02] do you got all that [03:02] then reboot and it will regenerate [03:02] ??? [03:02] hey...does anybody know of any good music sites to get music for my computer..i have the latest version of ubuntu, just got everything all set up this morning...please help?! [03:02] scientes: I do, however, I'm still stuck way back at step 2. I'm in a pendrive ubuntu environment, i run gparted. [03:02] amt897: data copying commands, look into both. i'd go for rsync if i had to use it. personally i'd just clean install [03:02] make sure your windows and linux partitions are unmounted [03:03] the other, less featurful partitionier is palimpsest amt897 [03:03] nothing mounted at the moment, just the pen drive === h4ckm3th32nd is now known as h4ckm3 [03:03] gparted tells me, out of my 111.59 gib ntfs partition, that I can make a max size of 114271 mib shrink partition. and it won't actually let me click the resize/move button. [03:04] ?? [03:05] does anyone have any final suggestions for me before i give up on making ubuntu connect through ethernet? [03:05] ActionParsnip: dd isn't copying data but devices and bloks [03:05] XuMuK: it'll do it though. The files will get copied [03:06] scientes: any experience with this phenomenon? literally the only operation gparted allows me to do is copy the partition or extend it by 1 mb. [03:06] anybody know any good music sites?? [03:06] Help! I've updated my input drivers (dkms) and now my keyboard won't work. I need to revert to the kernel that came with the livecd, but the dpkg script overwrote my initrd image. Is there a way to get back the initrd from my lived? [03:07] raven20: and what ind of relationship has your question with ubuntu? o?O [03:07] i feel like i'm missing something obvious. could it be that since you don't defrag ssds that the immovable system files are scattered now, preventing a large partition resize? [03:08] hey anyone can help me i am trying to run compiz on xfce but it is running on gnome 3 also can anyone tell how to make compiz to startup exclusivily with xfce not with gnome3 [03:08] Ben64: how do you even arrive at those numbers? i'd like to just try various settings but... i dont even know how to make them to try them [03:08] hi everyone [03:09] help please [03:09] in need a help with the cdpr package did anyone use it before ? [03:09] Ben64: for example, i'd like to try a lower resolution that is still 16:9 [03:09] !help > b1ckh3art [03:09] b1ckh3art, please see my private message [03:09] 没想到这么多在用LINUX HI大家好！ [03:10] !cn | zwzx-user [03:10] zwzx-user: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [03:10] amt897, oh, its cause you did a unsafe shutdown from windows [03:10] What is that? colors? [03:10] you have to boot windows, and then do a clean shutdown [03:10] the NTFS partition is market dirty [03:10] Or unicode? [03:10] cdpr anyone ? [03:11] any progs that i can use to show me what processes it belongs to by clicking on the window or associated tool bar etc? i remember one from windows days... [03:11] ly [03:11] halt_, ask a specific question, if anyone knows they will respond. :) [03:11] oops [03:11] http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OpenBSC_GPRS [03:11] oh shit [03:11] soryy [03:11] scientes: I've tried multiple times just doing straight-up restarts from windows. I found this though: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation#Using_Shrink_Volume_on_Vista_and_Windows_7 [03:12] *sorry [03:12] how could i install unetbootin from 11.10 to ubuntu 10.04 [03:12] cdpr -u server.conf how is this conf file look like [03:12] amt897, are you using a recent ubuntu for the flash drive? [03:12] i think i need the newer version of unetbootin [03:12] 11.10 [03:12] recent enough I'd think [03:12] blumonkey, unetbootin I think is in the repos. [03:12] blumonkey, you should always use the most recent version [03:13] blumonkey, but yeah that is a way to do an upgrade [03:13] blumonkey, sudo apt-get install unetbootin in a terminal. [03:13] yes but the software package i dont think contains the latest version [03:13] because linuxcoin is not in the drop down of unetbootin [03:13] blumonkey: You can't... or install what it offers from repos or get it from svn/bzr or compile it youself [03:13] blumonkey, down load it from them directly if that is true. [03:14] scientes: the guide advises defragging the disk. it is, however, a ssd. is it worth defragging, even though it'd decrease the lifetime? [03:15] amt897, don't defrag ssds! [03:15] 11.10: is there a way to install a different version and save my data on the harddrive (pix, docs, etc) or do i need to dump them on a stick? thanx [03:15] gparted doesn't need a defraged volume in current versions, it knows how to relocate stuff [03:15] Does anyone know how to restore a kernel from the lived? My kbd o [03:15] so thats not the problem [03:15] blumonkey, it is not in my version in oneiric, you can download their iso though and use unetbootin to load a usb. [03:15] Fffffuuuuuuu [03:15] savid, what are your symptoms [03:15] savid, its probably grub that you need to reinstall [03:16] amt897, SSDs automatically use fragmentation a lot, but that's not an issue. They don't have to swing around mechanical elements. [03:16] OffGridOps: yes, if you have /home in separate partition [03:16] amt897, defraging a SSD is idiotic, as they use a FTL inside them [03:16] so they are already fragmented [03:16] scientes, I updated my kbd drivers using a dkms deb pkg and kbd no longer works [03:17] kbd, as in Keyboard? [03:17] XuMuK, i'm not sure if i do. i installed 11.10 and just started using it---nothing special on the orig install [03:17] scientes: okay, cool. the other advice they give is... close all programs in memory (shouldn't be an issue in pendrive ubuntu), run windows disk cleanup, and "Disable pagefile, kernel memory dump, system restore and hibernation" [03:17] scientes, I need to restore the initrd that was installed by the original lived [03:17] well hibernate and swap files is still an issue amt897 [03:17] savid: type this ls /boot/ -lat and look if there are more than one images left [03:17] scientes, gparted will not move the unmovable paging files in a windows setup correctly, generally causes breakage. [03:17] but that really shouldn't mattter when you have 120 GB amgarching [03:17] *amt [03:17] amt897, it's much more important to not use their full capacity. Otherwise it will reduce it's lifetime. Read some tutorials about SSDs. [03:17] savid: upside go the newer ones [03:18] /nickinfo PennBot [03:18] oops [03:18] sorry [03:18] XuMuk, huh? [03:18] rumpel: right, I know. basically, my issue is that even though 42 of 111 gb are free, gparted and/or windows are not letting me shrink my partition down [03:18] savid, oh, just chroot and then use dkms, man dkms [03:18] savid: ls /boot/ -lat what does it show? [03:18] scientes: exactly, with 42 gb free, it shouldn't be an issue... [03:18] amt897, what version of Windows? [03:19] amt897, holy bejeebus, how did you use up 80 GB of a SSD? [03:19] windows 7, 64 bit [03:19] I guess its windows........ [03:19] ^ [03:19] scientes, use dkms to do what? [03:19] amt897, W7 has a virtual partitioner use it. [03:19] amt897, can you describe your partition layout a bit more detailed? [03:19] savid, remove the modules you added--you can't just restore an old initrd as there is a differn't one for each minor kernel version [03:19] because they contain modules [03:20] hi... got some recording troubles. I'm on a Thinkpad T420, with single duplex input/output 1/8" audio jack. How can I configure the sound preferences so Audacity records with that rather than the built-in mic? [03:20] okay, so my ssd is a 120 GiB Intel drive. 200 MB partition for system, the C: partition is 111.59 GB; 42ish gb free. [03:20] I would like to shrink that free space by 20 GB or so and install Ubuntu there. [03:20] geeze, though why does windows need so much damn expensive space [03:21] amt897, you want to shrink free space? .. .That doesn't make any sense. [03:21] How much memory do I need to make a virtual machine with a lubuntu host? [03:21] scientes: he could point grub to older ones [03:21] i downloaded unetbootin-linux-565 from sourceforge but it says i need to open with an application, send to: where would i send this [03:21] amt897, use the W7 Disk manager I believe it is called, run from admin. [03:21] XuMuK, does dkms only rebuild current versions? [03:21] helpmeASAP: what OS is the guest? [03:21] amt897, ah, i get it. You want to shrink C: (?) [03:21] blumonkey, sudo apt-get install unetbootin [03:21] XuMuK, found the info thanx [03:21] helpmeASAP: or do you mean how much ram should you assign to the guest? [03:21] yessir, rumpel [03:22] blumonkey, also, unetbootin on linux isn't the best supported software, what are you trying to do? [03:22] ActionParnip: any guest capable of using OpenVPN I hope. and safe. must be Linux [03:22] scientes: I think it creates new image and initrd [03:22] urfr332g0: i'll open it up now [03:22] XuMuK, uhhhhh, it obviously doesn't create a new image, as that would be a kernel compile--doesn't dound like you... [03:22] scientes, I see. I'll try that. Thanks. [03:22] ActionParsnip: No, I mean how many RAM should my computer have to have a virtual machine run smoothly. Host lubuntu [03:22] the question is whether is only changes the current initrd, or old ones [03:22] as well [03:23] amt897, that is the best way to go, your set up may not mess with the paging files but using the onboard is safer. [03:23] setup=what you want to do. [03:23] amt897, you should be able to shrink the windows-partition if windows isn't still in some kind of hibernation mode. You can't use windows because it can't shrink a partition it is running from. [03:24] urfr332g0: the windows disk manager only lets me shrink my C: partition by 539 mb now (varies depending upon what's chilling in memory) [03:24] rumpe1, not true windows 7 can resize a running setup. [03:24] scientes_ when im not using my computer i wanted to boot from usb into linuxcoin to mine bitcoins for fun [03:24] what can i do to make my wireless internet to work again? i looked at "Additional Drivers" and it says that the Broadcom STA driver is activated but not currently in use. [03:24] helpmeASAP: so the host is lubuntu and the guest is lubuntu? Is that correct? [03:24] urfr332gO, virtual partitions? ... Doesn't like a good idea to me. (imho) [03:24] rumpe1: I also tried by rebooting from windows and booting into a live CD without mounting any other partitions. gparted had a similar problem to disk manager now. [03:25] ActionParsnip: Yes I suppose [03:25] amt897, probaly due to where stuff is on the ssd especially the paging file, if you brute force it with gparted you will likely break it, do a backup image first. [03:25] helpmeASAP: lubuntu's minimal ram is 256Mb, so 512Mb as a BARE minimum. I'd go for at least 1Gb to be safe [03:25] rumpe1, Because you are not familiar with it. [03:25] probably* [03:26] helpmeASAP: personally I try and max out the RAM in a PC. RAM is stupidly cheap [03:26] ActionParsnip: but what about CPU? duo core 1.8Hz is capale? [03:26] helpmeASAP: will be ok [03:26] what program can I use to record my screen, microphone & speakers? [03:26] O [03:26] I'm starting to get the feeling this isn't worth doing [03:26] helpmeASAP: lubuntu is super light so you can get away with less :) [03:27] ActionParsnip: OK thanks! [03:27] scientes, OK I removed hid-apple and bcm5973, now my kb and my mouse won't work. [03:27] rumpe1, your more likely to break a windows setup if you move the unmovable paging and other stuff, that is why it is advised to do a defragg of evrything to the front and not move the partition with data in that area. [03:27] nimbiotics: recordmydesktop-gtk && cheese [03:28] Anyone here know how to lock screen on OS lubuntu? I know Ubuntu have that option but what about lubuntu? [03:28] XuMuK: and how do i mix audio from speakers & mic? [03:28] rumpe1, the shrink of a area holding data in general especially imovable data like the paging. [03:28] helpmeASAP, ctrl+alt+l might work? [03:28] Hi all - I have a couple of questions regarding network manager and configs. [03:28] Firebolt: Nope, tried that many times already [03:29] how do i install phigs, gtk or phigs++ library in ubuntu [03:29] helpmeASAP, Isn't there a lock icon on the bottom panel? [03:29] nimbiotics: no idea... I know that cheese grabs video&audio [03:29] UGH I just need to get my old kernel back [03:29] but how to mix them - don't know [03:29] adhikari, the same way you install anything.. software center, synaptic, apt-get, etc... [03:29] urfr332gO: none! none lock options below for lubuntu [03:29] XuMuK: problem is noen of them lets me mix spkrs & mic [03:30] When I open a terminal and ping www.google.com the action it perfroms is PING www.l.google.com - is this a DNS problem? [03:30] scientes, is there no way to get to the original initrd from within the lived? [03:30] but i don't know the code to install it. psusi [03:30] nicknefarious, it isn't a problem [03:30] scientes, rumpe1, urfr332g0: thanks for your help. I'm gonna table this for now, maybe come back to it this weekend. [03:30] Why does it do it? [03:30] savid, just boot from an earlier kernel [03:30] Anyone know if best virtual machine? VMWare or VirtualBox or is there better?????? [03:31] adhikari, open synaptic, find package, click install? [03:31] helpmeASAP: there is no best, or better [03:31] scientes, I wish it were that easy. The dkms pkg over wrote the kernel. It makes [03:31] helpmeASAP: yes, kvm, but it's not so easu to setup [03:31] helpmeASAP: if one was outright best, the other would not get used [03:31] helpmeASAP, I just use qemu-kvm and lately have been experimenting with xen [03:32] helpmeASAP, if you google the screen lock there is lots of info. :) [03:32] savid, it overwrote the initrd, you could chroot into the target system, and then remove the dkms package, which will remove the modules and rebuild the initrd [03:32] how to install kvm?!! that the Linux version right? [03:32] psusi but there is no package containing phigs [03:32] you can't manually change modules cause it doesn't rebuild the initrd, which is where the problem is happening [03:32] !kvm | helpmeASAP [03:32] helpmeASAP: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [03:32] did anyone used the cdpr package ? [03:32] is there anyway to get the xfdesktop 4.8 package on lucid? i upgraded to xfce 4.8 but that one package seems to be unavailable. without it have no xfce menu [03:32] i am talking about this library [03:32] helpmeASAP, use virt-manager [03:32] nicknefarious: it's google redirection, they sense your location and provide an address depending on where they see you are located [03:32] scientes, you mean remove dkms via apt-get? [03:32] truexfan81: there may be a ppa [03:32] savid, while in a chroot of the target system [03:32] !chroot [03:32] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [03:32] psusi Can you explain why it does it? [03:33] helpmeASAP, your just asking random questions look at the channel and freenode policy they ask you to do some of this yourself via the web. :) [03:33] i've been googling for one, so far i haven't found it, thats why i'm on here asking [03:33] adhikari, then you'll have to google for a ppa or get the source and build it yourself [03:33] nicknefarious, because google has many servers [03:34] scientes, remove and reinstall, or just remove? [03:34] psusi sure so this isn't an example of DNS poisoning (I am in China) [03:34] nicknefarious: you can use dig google.com to get more details on there dns configs [03:34] nicknefarious, they use dns CNAME records for www to alias it to many different servers [03:34] savid, unless you need dkms for something, like propritary drivers, just remove [03:34] Ok [03:34] its mainly nvidia, fglrx, and broadcom wireless AFAIK [03:35] cdpr cdpr cdpr cdpr cdpr comeon someone... [03:35] FOSS drivers get merged into the kernel [03:35] scientes: some other drivers use it, but its the same ilk as broadcom nvidia etc [03:35] maybe some one is using rackspace hosting? [03:35] nicknefarious, hrm.. actually, I get www.l.google.com too ( and I'm in the US ), and it sweems to be pointing to dfw06s16-in-f20.1e100.net.... odd [03:36] scut i now a better hosting solution do not use rackspace :D [03:36] i mean i know scut [03:36] !fbdev [03:37] !ot | scut halt_ [03:37] scut halt_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:38] Thanks! [03:38] nicknefarious, sure [03:38] savid, then remove the packages that depend on it [03:38] i got it | bazhand ubottu [03:38] nicknefarious: yes, you could [03:38] like apt-get remove hid-dkms [03:38] can someone tell me what does module fbdev do?

[03:39] NyLes, /dev/fb0, /dev/fb1, etc [03:39] yes where can I download AIM for linux [03:39] other than pidgin [03:39] psusi So what controls DNS lookups - I have a setting in my router where I identify OPEN DNS servers, if it is also configured in resolv.conf which one prevails? [03:39] Yaah, pidgin or empathy [03:39] Yaah, you cannot [03:39] aim........ [03:39] Yaah, try empathy [03:39] seriously? [03:39] k [03:39] It's 2012, grow up [03:39] Yaah, empathy is the new default, not pidgin anymore [03:40] very_sad, no need for the editorializing/name-calling [03:40] empathy sucks [03:40] Yaah: empathy and kopete do it [03:40] XuMuK, why? [03:40] bazhang: meh [03:40] very_sad, pardon? [03:40] like of buddy pounce and OTR? [03:40] *lack [03:40] scientes: my opinion) [03:40] virtualbox question on base memory [03:40] guys is it true ? nobody use cdpr ?

[03:41] d-snutz, ask a vbox question then [03:41] why? [03:41] I rather wait here [03:41] jamms, juck [03:41] it was asked 2 hours ago [03:42] might as well stick it out [03:42] scientes, OK, so after removal just reboot? [03:42] very_sad, thats fine. just no need to add to the noise with random commentary. [03:42] halt_, not supported here. :) [03:42] savid, did you see it rebuild the initrd? [03:42] ok this is going to sound ridiculous but i am taking this class on python and i would like to open a python interpreter on ubuntu to do homework how do i do that [03:42] it should have said something during the removal [03:42] meh... [03:42] bazhang: is it possible to increase the size of your base memory for a gues OS? [03:42] wrektjet, open a terminal and type "python" [03:42] does anyone think that if i reformat this harddrive with ubuntu 11.10 that it will fix th e issue of me not being able to connect to ethernet? [03:42] scientes, no, it didn't [03:42] hey, can I remove the launcher completely, I would like it to pop up when I press Super, but otherwise I would like to never see it [03:43] I am on a fresh copy of 11.10 [03:43] acidrain__, what is the card chip?

[03:43] I installed the Empathy where would it be located at [03:43] could of sworn ive already been through this. lol [03:43] im on ubuntu [03:43] Are there any server isos of ubuntu that are less than 512mb? [03:43] bazhang: did you copy that? [03:43] Help me ASAP!!! After I installed QEmu, do I need to install KQEmu???? [03:44] Yaah, where would what be located? [03:44] acidrain__, lspci in the terminal will give a list of stuff find the ethernet/wifi part and post it. [03:44] the Empathy [03:44] d-snutz, did you set it to expandable when you created the machine? [03:44] the icon [03:44] urfr332g0 :( when i do not know anything i ask man when man is not enoght clear i ask google if the google do not kno then i'm login it here, but if you guys do not know this is the end of the word [03:44] I clicked it [03:44] where is teh download directory for ubuntu [03:44] ?

[03:45] Yaah, try alt f2 empathy [03:45] bazhang: whatever the default was [03:45] win7 is in epic fail right now because its been "preparing your desktop" for about 15min lol [03:45] Yaah, empathy comes with ubuntu, it'll appear in the applications menu, click it and it'll start [03:45] I'd like to make a bootable usb stick, but the stick I have is only 512mb [03:46] Firebolt, thats not going to do it [03:46] Is there some way to compact mounted drives into one widget/icon on the Unity Dock? [03:46] acidrain__, you might try the ##windows channel for finding the card when using W7. [03:46] ubuntu 11.10 still has no decent fallback to classical gnome? [03:46] scientes, is there a way to manually rebuild initrd? [03:46] yes [03:46] !notunity | scut [03:46] scut: 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 [03:47] bazhang, ubuntu has no netinst availible like debian? [03:47] scut, no only the fallback gnome 2 sort of like. [03:47] Firebolt, it does [03:47] @search downton abbey [03:47] !d-i [03:47] sorry [03:47] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [03:47] Firebolt, the mini installer? [03:48] bazhang, its still ugly and works like a disaster with compiz [03:48] I just installed Cinnamon - it's great! Stable and like Gnome 2 with some nice Gnome 3 eye candy. [03:48] ubuntu 11.10 is ugly, sorry to say. i wonder what the next installment will look like. it 'seems' that years ago there was more innovation amongst the various distros, window managers 'seemed' to look nicer than they do now. now everything seems very similar across the board, it's getting stagnant. [03:49] thevaliantx, thats not a support question [03:49] scientes, is it update-initramfs? [03:49] "To get started with Google+ Hangouts, first install the Google Voice and Video Plugin" is there a PPA or something packagy? [03:49] CarlFK, launchpad has a search ppa page [03:50] bazhang: I have heard of that... URL? [03:50] Does anyone know how I might get ahold of someone involved in the #ubuntu-iso channel, since it appears that no one is ever in it? I believe it is the place I would need to ask my question. [03:50] thevaliantx, maybe unity would be a good thing if you could move that shit unity panel from left side [03:50] thevaliantx, your about the millionth person to address it is off topi. [03:50] can someone figure out how to use this /usr/share/doc/cdpr/README.cdprs [03:50] scientes, any links to the netinst installs then? [03:50] scut, no cursing here [03:50] savid, that sounds good [03:50] I need it for a server version [03:50] bazhang sure it's not, but it's a valid concern, and i dare to say that most of the comments in here are either support questions that never get answered, rude comments or just general opinions such as mine ;) [03:50] Firebolt, I don't think there is an iso for it, you have to use the initrd + uImage netboot images, or the ubuntu-core builds [03:51] awww, I guess I'll need to find my blank CDs then [03:51] thevaliantx, no, this channel is not for that, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:51] scut i agree, we'll see how long it lasts. [03:51] Firebolt, netinst is netinst... there aren't different versions for server or desktop [03:52] how offen can i ask the same ? [03:52] scut, the panel can be moved to the bottom there is info on the web. [03:52] yuck, I use debian for servers [03:52] urfr332gO, and it crashes like 20 times per 1 hours on 64 bit platform [03:52] scut, what does? [03:53] Firebolt, server vs desktop makes no sense for netinst [03:53] halt_, your question is not within the channels support. :) [03:53] scut, have you tweaked compiz? [03:53] scientes, I prefer debian, but this is for a friend -- he's asked me to prepare a server for him [03:53] scientes, moved to another side unity panel on 64 bit platform [03:53] psusi, no matter than [03:53] *then [03:53] how can i get ALL of the related wireless drivers off my system? i am trying to use Ubuntu Software Centre to do the task but it's aborting. [03:53] scut, well thats unity for ya (just my opinion) [03:54] scut: there is a PPA to move it to the bottom, there is a ppa for it [03:54] http://pastebin.com/Rq2wpGxR [03:54] scut: check omgubuntu === felixding_ is now known as felixding [03:54] Firebolt, if he needs you to set up his server he probably doesn't need aserver [03:54] scientes, that did it! Thanks for the help! [03:54] ActionParsnip, i moved to xubuntu after ubuntu innovations, and im kinda happy [03:54] Can anyone tell me if there is a widget/icon or other way of unifying all mounted drives under one icon/widget in the Unity Dock? I want to access them from there but don't want five mounted drives hogging real estate... [03:54] scut: many have [03:55] urfr332g0 can you recommend other chanel where someone can anwer ? [03:55] scut: i use LXDE and have done for ages now. I dip into Unity2D just to see whats new [03:55] nicknefarious, if you check omgubuntu I belive there is a icon for that that is available for the top panel in unuty. [03:55] unity* [03:56] ActionParsnip, sometimes i wonder if going with a non-glitzy window manager would be the cure to my woes. i can't be the only fool who's attracted to eye candy on the desk top. i need to be productive :) [03:56] halt_, for proprietary cisco, ##linux not sure really. [03:56] scientes, poorly phrased, but whatever -- thanks for the help [03:57] Firebolt, I was poorly phrased? [03:57] hello [03:57] or you... [03:57] urfr332gO Cheers... I'll take a look [03:57] i need help [03:57] halt_, lol there is a #cicsco channel 477 user. [03:57] i need help [03:57] #cisco [03:58] can any one help me??

[04:03] pial316: no idea [04:03] ActionParsnip, exploring got me into trouble, lol i was inferring that chasing a Mac fantasy is a waste of time. like going to a topless bar. she can dance on top, on the bottom, to the left or right, rotate and flip, and even clone herself. in the end, though, she requires high maintenance and the ROI isn't very good.

[04:12] is there a way to disable "Apps Available for Download" in the unity dash? I followed a guide saying to use dconf-tools but I don't have "lenses" [04:12] savid: hold shift at boot and select the newer kernel [04:13] ActionParsnip, I have no other options in grub [04:13] LordDragon: sudo service [04:13] ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c1c3090a1b427f940010c27227616f8ff7e61e57 [04:13] ActionParsnip: is there a GUI for it?

[04:15] delinquentme: recordmydesktop [04:15] oh, holy crap. I just realized I'm running natty. I thought I installed oneiric. GDI. [04:15] well i did "sudo apt-get install telnetd" [04:15] savid: that'll be why [04:16] yet i cant seem to launch the telnet server [04:16] LordDragon: it runs as a service at startup, you can stop it with: sudo service telnetd stop [04:16] ActionParsnip, <3 [04:16] well, frack. [04:16] LordDragon: I suggest you use openssh-server instead of telnet, telnet is not secure at all [04:17] delinquentme: also xvidwincap if memory serves [04:17] i realize telnet isnt as secure. but its a necessity for my particular needs [04:17] LordDragon: I see [04:17] ActionParsnip: Thank You! :-) [04:17] ActionParsnip: i get this error "telnetd: unrecongized service" [04:18] LordDragon: use tab to complete the service name [04:18] ActionParsnip, recording takes quite a bit of processing huh? [04:18] LordDragon: sudo service t then press TAB a few times, see what comes up [04:18] ActionParsnip: nothing comes up at all [04:18] delinquentme: depends on how much area you record. a square of 20 pixels will be less CPU intensive than a full screen capture [04:19] i press TAB and nothing happens [04:19] What's the name of the program that open pdf is common on Ubuntu?

[04:24] telnet sux [04:24] for "partycular purposes" xD [04:25] i* [04:25] openssh-server homie [04:25] telnet is needed [04:25] according to LordDragon [04:25] yes [04:25] its needed because the computer i want to connect from cant do ssh [04:25] why can't it do ssh? [04:25] from? [04:26] what is this setup? [04:26] its an old old computer [04:26] its weird [04:26] when i do apt-get install [04:26] you computer (uable to ssh)->server running ubuntu? [04:26] telnetd [04:26] like that? [04:26] it says its installed [04:26] but its not there [04:26] the package gods are telling you something.. don't run a clear text terminal service [04:27] ActionParsnip: same result :( [04:28] one more time, just becasue the cisco chanel do not know, did anyone know the cdpr ?

[04:30] use at your own risk [04:30] It seems there's LINUX driver for the intel GMA3600 [04:31] there's no driver, sorry [04:31] saying your computer is old does _not_ mean it can't run sshd [04:31] halt_, are yo running hardy?

[04:32] maybe i shouldnt have dont "apt-get install telnetd" [04:32] er done [04:32] halt_, hardy is end of life so not supported as well, just a heads up. :) [04:32] narok401, /join #ubuntu-th for Thai [04:34] oh stfu people! I had never ever ever successfully install any Linux guest OS using VirtualBox(never tried Windows). What's happening? Flaw [04:34] urfr332g0 just in internal network for collecting syslogs, but the package is the same everywhere http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/cdpr === pp7 is now known as malkauns [04:34] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ_wXOFQV3M [04:34] nothing beats helpnig people that tell you to stfu [04:34] helpmeASAP: Please don't swear [04:34] helpmeASAP, just a heads up your last post could get you banned. :) [04:34] designdream: same to you. [04:35] halt_: lololol UMAD? [04:35] how do i get audio to play on a remote machine when i use ssh -X and start an app? [04:35] oops [04:35] very_sad, thats not helping. [04:35] meant that for help [04:35] very_sad why? [04:35] very_sad, excessive commentary noise is not helpful here. please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:36] halt_: meant that helpmenow dude [04:36] my bad bro <3 [04:36] I had never ever successfully install any Linux OS using VMWare or VirtualBox... I'm running lubuntu. Where's Linus Trovaldis?? [04:36] malkauns: you want it to sound when a remote logs into that system? [04:37] helpmeASAP: ahahaha. [04:37] very_sad i don't get it [04:37] halt_: I meant helpmeASAP <- that guy [04:37] helpmeASAP: lololol UMAD? [04:37] ^ there [04:38] s/halt_/helpmeASAP/g [04:38] very_sad, thats enough [04:38] !behelpful | very_sad [04:38] very_sad: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [04:38] helpmeASAP, there is #vbox you might ask for help there as well. [04:39] I'm going there [04:39] sacarlson, no, eg. if i use ssh -X then start VLC with a movie I want the audio to play on the machine i just ssh -X'd into [04:39] malkauns: mpg123? mplayer? sox? [04:40] malkauns: that should be default, the sound will come out of the system that's running the app [04:40] designdream, anything, take vlc for example === zaybot is now known as Vladislas [04:40] helpmeASAP, good luck. :) === Vladislas is now known as operator_warnet [04:41] ok can anyone tell me why my ubuntu installation gets aborted in the odd way that the screen gets turned off while it is loading the format disk? [04:41] malkauns, on mine, vlc says audio output failed... [04:41] ... the device "default" could not be used [04:41] device busy... etc. [04:41] it appears that my computer is still trying to load the format disk, but for some reason the screen has went off [04:41] and wont come back on [04:41] How do you remove a service from auto starting? [04:42] malkauns: you can also use the mpris api to control VLC and other media players to minimize bandwidth on the network when controling them [04:42] malkauns: i think in command line vlc you need to specifiy the -waveout-audio-device={wavemapper} etc [04:43] malkauns: oh and VLC also has a web interface so you can use that method of control also [04:43] hmm but u guys say it should play remotely by default [04:44] malkauns: yes that what it did in the past, did something change? [04:44] no idea [04:45] malkauns: VLC has like 6 different methods of control, just pick one that works for you [04:46] Socket-_, what is the service? [04:46] ah i found the problem [04:46] ok can anyone tell me why my ubuntu installation gets aborted in the odd way that the screen gets turned off while it is loading the format disk? [04:46] it was because i had a session open using NX server [04:47] malkauns: loging into yourself I assume? [04:47] no [04:47] once i terminated that session it started working [04:47] acidrain, maybe a driver issue use the alternative cd for install. [04:47] !nomodeset acidrain a method with the live cd [04:47] urfr332gO: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:48] where is python install on ubuntu? where the site-packages live. [04:48] !nomodeset | acidrain a method with the live cd [04:48] acidrain a method with the live cd: 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 [04:48] /usr/lib/python2.6? [04:49] acidrain, I'm assuming screen turned off may be a black screen here. [04:54] I have got all these packages in $/var/cache/apt/archives that is taking up a lot of HDD space how do you determine what packages to remove from the system to free up resources? [04:55] ok next question: are there any GPU based video encoders for ubuntu/linux? [04:55] maujhsn: sudo apt-get clean; will remove those debs [04:55] yes [04:55] trism Thanks [04:56] trism How do I treat the debs that I want to keep? [04:57] trism "command" [04:57] maujhsn: you don't really need to keep any of them, they are already installed, and if you need them again later they can be redownloaded automatically when you reinstall [04:58] trism "You are a GOD send":) [04:58] my damn internet dont even work on the ubuntu live cd lol [04:58] wtf [04:58] clear [04:58] oops [04:58] why is this happening?

Here's my fdisk output: http://pastebin.com/kXzUHGCB . Anyone mind giving me a hand reassembling?

[05:06] ok so i can ping other computers on the local net [05:06] haha [05:06] but not get out to the inetenret [05:06] eat it.. [05:07] ActionParsnip: which of this information is my network chip? [05:07] realtek, gigabit [05:07] helpmeASAP, #debian perhaps? [05:08] I am sure... i know the netowrk is ok because the other two computers on that subnet get out [05:08] can anyone help me on why my ubuntu live cd will not connect to internet? [05:08] if ubuntu wont connect, what flavor of linux should i use? [05:09] i just want one that works [05:09] acidrain, Go to System > Administration > Hardware drivers. [05:09] one in windows server 2008 and the other one is a parted magic live cd [05:09] acidrain check system/adminsistration/hardware drivers [05:09] ndkelly: i dont have that option [05:09] cfhowlett: i dont have that option [05:09] acidrain, what's the version number? [05:09] Or rather, which distro. [05:09] when i clicked on "try ubuntu without installing" it brought me to a terminal screen [05:09] Okay everyone is dead in #ubuntu-server, so I guess I'll ask here. What's the best package to use to set up a vpn server? I want to use L2TP. [05:09] 11.10 i think [05:10] I can't remember what the 11.10 livecd looked like. [05:10] acidrain is this the alternate .iso? [05:10] Is it a wireless connection? [05:10] acidrain, You may have done a minimal install by accident. [05:10] acidrain: wired or wireless, and what chip is it realtek? Broadcom? etc... [05:10] cfhowlett: what do you mean by alternate iso? [05:10] ActionParsnip: wired, realtek [05:10] acidrain alternate iso has a text based installer and no live cd options. [05:11] very_sad: what question? [05:11] Lazerath Perhaps need to talk with your tech department about that issue! [05:11] i am trying to install 64bit live cd ubuntu 11.10 === macmartine_ is now known as macmartine [05:11] Redownload your .iso burn it your chosen installation media, then try again. Just make sure it's the right .iso [05:11] ActionParsnip: how will this information you have help me? [05:12] acidrain: But are you using the Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Server, or Ubuntu Alternate iso?

[05:13] acidrain: Okay so you got the 64 bit Ubuntu Desktop iso. [05:13] acidrain: Are you sure your computer is 64 bit? [05:13] Canadian1296: yes, it says it on the box [05:13] acidrain: sudo lshw -C network [05:14] acidrain: what is the chip? [05:14] acidrain, Why do you not just use the 32bit version? [05:14] very_sad: it'll use the android kernel. so it's as integrated as you can get [05:14] ActionParsnip: hang on. im going to boot into my actual ubuntu hdd. [05:14] acidrain: And what exactly is the problem you're having? [05:14] very_sad: but by default you only see the nonandroid stuff when you dock it [05:15] avenged: where is it from? What release are you using? [05:15] ndkelly: i tried 32bit, same problem. the ubuntu installed wont connect either [05:16] Canadian1296: the problem is, eth0 is detected, but it wont connect [05:16] acidrain, Why not try installing first, then updating drivers and such to get your network running? Instead of using the livecd. [05:16] So it's fully integrated into android as a subsystem? [05:16] and eth0 is wired [05:16] like then is it going to be sysvinit? [05:16] instead of the barebones init that android uses [05:16] acidrain: Is eth0 working on the installed version? Or faulty on both installed and live? [05:16] very_sad: details like that haven't been released yet [05:16] Canadian1296: on both [05:16] ;l [05:17] ok [05:17] Canadian1296: works fine on windows [05:17] same wire, same port [05:17] acidrain: the chip will tell us a lot [05:17] ok so the firewall is not letting out that computer [05:18] ActionParsnip: RTL8111/8168B PCI EXPRESSS Gigabit ethernet controller [05:18] ActionParsnip: is this what you mean by chip? [05:18] acidrain: yes :) [05:19] ActionParsnip: so will you tell me what exact information you are looking up and what you think the problem is so i can follow along?

Do you have access to an external drive? [05:23] rohit_: use your backups [05:23] alright [05:24] is their any method w/o using a external? [05:24] rohit_, www.fs-driver.org [05:24] because i will daul boot [05:24] so is it possible if i can easily just copy and paste it over to my windows 7 [05:24] Dropbox is always an easy option [05:24] Or Box [05:25] ActionParsnip: damn it, now i cant boot from my other hdd. and its not listed in the boot options. it wont load my options of which device to boot from [05:25] rohit_, or use ntfs-3g to mount ntfs partition under linux [05:25] with fs-driver i can easily read linux formats and just drag and drop all the info over? [05:25] acidrain: lose the option then ust use the blacklist :) [05:26] rohit_: not Ext4 [05:26] rohit_, yes, dunno with the performance and not ext5 [05:26] ActionParsnip: what do you mean? i cant even access my other hdd now... [05:26] I se [05:26] ext4* [05:26] rohit_: Ubuntu can read and write NTFS though [05:26] Oh alright [05:26] i'll try to find an external hard drive from a friend [05:26] another quesiton [05:26] will Linux ever have a port for Labview or Autodesk? [05:27] acidrain: change it in root recovery mode (hold shift at boot), or you can do it in liveCD [05:27] rohit_: you'd have to ask the developers [05:27] ok i got it. seems times have changed since i last touched a comp. lol [05:27] rohit_: The developers of Labview and Autodesk that is. [05:27] alright [05:27] thank you all!! [05:27] have a great night! [05:27] ActionParsnip: ok, i am booted up.

[05:31] incognegro: you will need to add the playdeb repo (using the deb from the site). You will also need to dextract the ROMs from YOUR playstation to use it [05:31] I have no idea why the themes stop applying to certain applications only when I'm running outside a DE [05:31] Ohhhh boy [05:31] acidrain: not sure, i'd have a search for guides and such based on the chip name [05:31] That's something [05:33] ActionParsnip: do you suggest i take this computer back? and buy another one? [05:33] Also I'm launching both openbox and lxde via GDM, so that rules that out [05:33] acidrain: for an ethernet controller, hardly [05:34] well it kinda seems like the thing to do... i mean this box is useless to me if it wont go online [05:34] acidrain: you can get a PCI ethernet adapter for the price of a pack of smokes... [05:34] a pci ethernet adapater you say... [05:34] i think i have 1 of those laying around. it should work? [05:34] I should also note that applications like thunar, chromium (for it's GTK bits), lxappearance, etc. all work fine with my GTK theme [05:34] acidrain: depends on the chip, worth a try [05:35] looks like this mobo doesnt have a pci slow [05:35] :/ [05:35] I'm also using the Lubuntu-Default theme, so it can't be GTK3 issues [05:36] Thanx actionparsnip [05:37] questions!!!!

I have 1 GB RAM and set 300MB to guest machine [05:49] helpmeASAP: If you have a usb stick, you can make persistent storage too [05:49] helpmeASAP: aren't you trying to install it on vmware workstation?

[05:51] helpmeASAP: And once you prepare persistent usb stick, you can boot the system with it and use it in routine way. tool is included in Ubuntu. Have a try [05:51] i wonder if having a name like helpmeASAP gets you help ASAP. [05:51] ActionParsnip: that's not what people in other channel told me [05:51] helpmeASAP: this is ubuntu support, I think we'll know a little better [05:52] but some people in here told me differently yesterday [05:52] like... [05:52] helpmeASAP as always YMMV [05:52] toratek_net: Please don't advertise any services in #ubuntu, even if they are Ubuntu related. [05:52] differently [05:52] helpmeASAP: look, boot to the live CD and uninstall some apps, it will work [05:52] helpmeASAP: if you reboot however, the application will be right back [05:53] can I update and use software I install? [05:53] Jordan_U worked hard to create this thing, it's really nice:) sorry to have upset you [05:53] helpmeASAP: personally I always advise people update ubiquity and gparted in liveCD so that the installer and partitioner are the latest versins [05:53] I'm going you all are confusing me [05:54] Especially when I have Down Syndrome [05:54] helpmeASAP: yes you can upgrade the software but your apt cache will be in your RAM as well so will take up space, you may run out if you don't have much [05:54] helpmeASAP: how can we tell that in a text based interface?? [05:55] can we connect to this server securely using SSL? [05:55] helpmeASAP: to what server?

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 [06:04] wiky: if you are using Unity, it is a shell for Gnome 3 [06:04] ok i think i know ,thanks [06:05] hi. is there a replacement for gnome-open in unity?

[06:07] acidrain: search for guides is all I can suggest, or usb. If it is a desktop PC, the PCI slots will be inside the system [06:07] ActionParsnip: i have a ethernet pci, and it is far from fitting the inside of this box. so i know for a fact its not a pci slot [06:09] ActionParsnip: sorry I dont get it. I used gnome-open (with gnome2) to open files from terminal... now I search for an alternative to avoid installing libgnome2 [06:09] acidrain: gah, then find guides for the chip, or you could grab a usb thing [06:10] how to printer sharing in ubuntu 11.04 === Brisaloka is now known as Tiago === Tiago is now known as TiagoJamaica [06:12] ActionParsnip: i think i found a fix. an alternative driver [06:12] how to printer sharing in ubuntu 11.04 [06:12] how to printer sharing in ubuntu 11.04 help me [06:12] zormit: may have to bite the bullet dude, how many extra deps (in size) is it?

[06:22] ActionParsnip: http://djlab.com/2010/10/fixing-rtl8111-8168b-driver-debian-ubuntu/ this doesnt seem to work [06:23] so, noobish question here, but if I remove all passwords from my server and depend on ssh keys, will the server send the ssh auth key if I don't have it on my desktop? I don't want to get locked out of my box for losing the key >.> [06:24] cfhowlett for the moment i am trying to find a command for see a service hosting from a domain using console [06:25] Justasic: you add the client key to the server, afair [06:25] hey guys im confronting a bit graphical difficulties like when i open firefox its all white unless i change its size any idea wat should be done? [06:25] PacthAtoms === TiagoJamaica is now known as okz [06:26] Hey everyone, I'm trying to search through all the files in my server for a certain string and I tackle this error message every time I do it. Some results show, and then the error comes and it stops searching. This is the error: "grep: dev/log: No such device or address" and every time it's in a different location. [06:26] mehdi: does it happen as a new user? [06:27] ActionParsnip, wat do u mean ? i install it recently and done all th updates and install nvidia too [06:28] ActionParsnip: i followed the instructions at that link, but it didnt seem to fix anything at all. now the ethernet is not showing up at all. what to do about this? [06:28] hex20dec: You need to somehow exclude /dev/ from your search. [06:28] mehdi: make a new user, log in as the new user, run firefox [06:28] acidrain: try a different guide then.. [06:29] Jordan_U: And how do I do that? [06:29] hex20dec: find's '-xdev' option might be useful (xdev does not stand for exclude /dev/ btw, it's just a coincidence). [06:29] ActionParsnip, there is another thing while i run ubuntu or mint as live user everything works fine but when i install them it goes on nervs [06:30] Jordan_U: Haha, alright thanks. [06:30] Jordan_U: Is there an exclude option for grep? [06:31] hex20dec: Not that I know of. You can check the man page yourself to be sure though. [06:31] hex20dec: add an extra pipe: | grep -v whatever [06:31] ActionParsnip: What is -v? [06:32] hex20dec: in(v)ert is how I remember it, makes the grep output things which DON'T match the string [06:35] ActionParsnip: This is what I typed, "grep -lir "www-data" *" from the root dir. Now do I add another grep like you said? [06:36] hex20dec: grep -lir www-data * | grep -v notsee change notsee for what you don't want to see. [06:38] It [06:39] ActionParsnip: It's not really a good option since there are a lot of directories that give me that error, and I'd have to put every one of them there. Is there any other way to simply bypass these errors? [06:40] hex20dec: could try prepending with sudo... [06:40] I'm already root. [06:43] * okz www.aldeiaroots.com [06:43] okz: no advertising please [06:43] ok [06:45] ActionParsnip, my graphic speed is slow how can i fast it? [06:47] any way to pause a process and then resume it? [06:47] from outside where is was launched I mean [06:47] I'm pretty sure it is, but is it still impossible to have the global menu always show? It's the only thing I can't stand about unity. [06:49] nevermind figued it out. kill can do it [06:53] mehdi: tried Unity2D [06:59] ActionParsnip: what do i have to do to get my card interfaces to show again? when i blacklisted them like you said, it removed them [06:59] i unblacklisted, but they still dont show [07:00] Hi all, I'm looking for a good download manger like Internet Download Manager that allows me to sex the max server connections. Ideas? [07:01] somethinginteres: jdownloader can download from multiple sources (though it doesn't autodetect mirrors), other than that I know nothing, someone else might have suggestions [07:02] theadmin: thanks for the suggestion. Whilst I want a feature like d/l'ing from multiple sources I am most interested in multiple server connections to the one source. JDownloader may well do that too. [07:03] somethinginteres: I'm not sure it does that -- I hardly use download managers at all, except torrent clients [07:03] firefox has some decent ones [07:03] theadmin: OK, thanks. [07:04] taipres: I work with Chrome unfortunately. [07:05] somethinginteres: "unfortunately"?

No option for max server cons. like IDM. [07:17] acidrain: You do, in advanced partitioning, mount any partition you want to / [07:17] c31r2g: Huh?

I was thinking best solution would probably be using screen or tmux. Would any body have other opinions? And if that is the way to go, can I configure either to drop into a screen/tmux session at startup automaticly? [08:19] Kindari: control what exactly [08:19] I want the monitor to mirror the ssh session. [08:19] oh, well then screen would work for that [08:19] crackerjackz, This is my hosts file .http://paste.ubuntu.com/852370/ [08:20] Kindari: I run tmux on servers i maintain. Just setup an alias to "autossh -t tmux a" once tmux is running and that's about it [08:20] Kindari it needs X-forwarding set and your monitor need an ip i think [08:20] Ben64: usermod the user's shell to /bin/false [08:20] does anybody know how can i run *.pbk in linux? [08:20] crylx: that will still allow rsync? [08:20] Ben64: i think so, yes. you can try, it's a quick change [08:20] crackerjackz, this is traceroute of facebook . http://paste.ubuntu.com/852378/ [08:21] Ben64: sudo passwd -l username [08:21] crylx: cool, thanks [08:21] Ben64: no problem [08:21] Ben64: don't set the user shell to false [08:21] :o [08:21] ssta: why not?

[08:40] sina_ hey you here [08:40] sathish, ask in #networking [08:40] sathish, when you logon to Windows, are you part of a Domain controller. When you logon to Ubuntu, do you logon to the same domain? [08:41] it is helpful to have links to the complete manual for samba, but yeah, anybody else know how I can get my share to show up in windows? [08:41] sina_: ask in #git or #bash [08:41] i can't remember the exact command i am trying to search every mounted partition for a file called libflashplayer.so i tried find -f / libflashplayer.so but it says unknown predicate -f.. i can't remember the exact command [08:42] gordon1234, i cant understand what is the meaning same domain [08:43] maybe something like... [08:43] find / -name libflashplayer.so [08:43] sathish, in a work environment, groups of PCs are usually part of a Domain. This make managing the PCs a lot easier, but it is also where central policies are kept regarding Internet access etc. [08:43] Anyone know why my graphics card sucks on linux when it rocks on widnows? and how to fix it?

[08:47] So I'm using xubuntu with firefox nightly. I can deal with how windows scrolls (instantly, but not smooth), and I like how mac scrolls (smoothly, but with no delay), but I just can't handle how xubuntu scrolls (smoothly, but still to the same fixed distances of windows, and it does this by just slowly moving to whatever you would have scrolled to on windows). Is there any way I can make it scroll how macs do, or failing that, how window [08:51] Ghrim: It's a Firefox problem -- go to settings, it has an option of "Enable smooth window scrolling" there. That bugs out sometimes, try unchecking it [08:51] type to use pxe to network boot a copy of ubuntu 11.10 ... but the boot stops :( ... the client says "Scanning disk for index files.." ... then I get a line "Please provide a name for this Disc, such as 'Debian 5.0.3 DIsk 1': ... what could be wrong?

[09:19] ZeusCool: i doubt you will find lots of php-similarities in bash-syntax...

[09:21] RawProduce:pls do not advise this here. if one really needs sudo without password, limit the commands to those the user really needs to run adn don't use ALL [09:21] RawProduce: yea but i just need it for that particular command [09:21] not all [09:21] thanks llutz [09:22] it's not like most people run an SSH server on their machines [09:22] I don't see what the problem is [09:23] RawProduce: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL is a potential security issue [09:24] again, for a desktop PC in someone's home, meh [09:24] RawProduce: keep permissions as restricted as possible [09:24] RawProduce: wherever you are [09:24] on a production machine, sure [09:24] RawProduce: wherever you are [09:24] tinfoil is cheap these days, huh?

[09:37] I wanna know how to change the login window in ubuntu natty, I already know how to change the background, I wanna change the login window completely! [09:37] my oneiric install suddenly wants to remove a bunch of :i386 packages, is this ok? it is a 64bit install. Just wondering why this happens now suddenly.. [09:37] (ie. suggests apt-get autoremove) [09:38] vega-: Perhaps packages that have been moved to 64bit? What are the packages? [09:38] RawProduce: The setgid bit on a directory only affects the ownership of files created within, not the permission bits. [09:38] RawProduce: use ACLs or try to change umask. default umask = 0022 [09:38] RawProduce: You'll either have to enable acl and set some default acls on the dir, or just make sure your umask is set to 0002 [09:39] what's acls? [09:39] !acl [09:39] RawProduce: man setfacl, man getfacl [09:39] ah, access control list [09:39] ServerSage: http://pastebin.com/9FFsVAsN [09:39] thanks, I'll take a look at that [09:39] RawProduce: access control lists. Gives you more fine grained control of file permissions. [09:40] i received a prompt that ubuntu will run in low graphics mode? [09:40] ServerSage: there seem to be duplicates of all those.. ie. both i386 and amd64 [09:40] ServerSage: i'm just suspicious why this happens now.. as this system has been running for almost 6monts now [09:40] vega-: I don't know why some of those would even be installed as 64 bit versions have been around for a while. [09:41] I wanna know how to change the login window in ubuntu natty, I already know how to change the background, I want to change the login window completely, any guesses? [09:41] vega-, I can only imagine that you have had some 32bit version of a program installed that had these as dependencies [09:41] bmonkj: could be yes, i'd guess it's safe to run autoremove.. [09:42] vega-, I would assume so [09:43] anyone? [09:43] i'm having black screen please help..

When I connect to it remotely or locally, the VNC client shows this almost empty environment -- http://tinyurl.com/86he6ho . Right-clicking the "Desktop" there doesn't bring up any menu. Maybe this has to do with some X-server stuff, of which I know very little. Any advice on how I can get a normal-looking Desktop ?

[12:14] i use windows with linux [12:14] ljsoftnet: I remember now ! U must download and us editor to read the code that is displayed.

Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [12:16] darklajid: check out those 3 factoids at the end there (you can /msg ubottu !factoid) [12:16] wendico, top left ubuntu icon or hit super key, type me-tv [12:17] jrib: thanks you, exactly what i was looking for :)! [12:17] Thanks. Well, couldn't find a ppa for that stuff so far, didn't know the rest [12:17] mongy: i did but it does not show, oh, my computer freezz lol [12:17] ljsoftnet try sudo dmidecode -t 4 [12:17] darklajid: what package? [12:17] maybe my usb stick is to old :) [12:17] jrib: libpam-google-authenticator [12:17] bc81: you can navigate search hits with n (next) and N (previous) as well [12:17] i reboot and install me-tv again hehe [12:18] Which already seems to be a mere source snapshot according to the version number. And an old one. [12:18] wendico, good deals on ebay :) sorry it's not working for you. [12:18] jrib: again, thanks! i tried ctrl+g and f3, and was just about to ask that. you read minds? ;) [12:19] bc81: very handy :) The default pager is "less", so you might want to browse its man page to learn about what else you can do [12:19] mongy: i just got another stick! but it aint working either :( this is an avermedia avertv volar green hd [12:19] just now looking @ man man [12:19] i never thought to use man man...ahh the wonders of linux [12:19] wendico, this is why I researched and not bought random hardware :) [12:20] bc81: man man mostly talks about how man pages are organized iirc, try man less too when you get bored [12:20] ok, will do [12:20] Ah well.. Guess sru and backports couldn't care less about that package.. ;-) [12:20] darklajid: probably not... [12:20] mongy: no hehe, i havent bought it either. just brought me my girlfriend, its used [12:20] darklajid: what's your argument as to why its outdated? [12:21] how do i "cat" a single processor, if i "cat /proc/cpuinfo" i get three results of the three cores i have, i just need 1 [12:21] mongy: sure if i buy i look at tested hardware :) [12:21] ljsoftnet: stop printing at the first blank line? [12:21] jrib: Several features that make it usable at all in my (not too uncommon) scenario seem to be missing (i.e. were only added 4 month ago, the package is from 04/2011) [12:22] jrib how? [12:22] wendico, give 11.10 another go. [12:22] ljsoftnet: I don't know offhand [12:22] just booted [12:22] im installing === mint is now known as c31r2g [12:23] ljsoftnet: why do you need to?

[12:23] jrib i wanted to put the name of the cpu in conky [12:23] darklajid: you could try talking with the maintainer, see what's going on in debian; then depending on how involved you want to get, file a bug, package it yourself [12:24] Hello everyone. I just downloaded Linux. I am a total novice. [12:24] ljsoftnet: well if you only had the information for the first core how would you then get the name? [12:24] The maintainer unfortunately is rather opaque.. Ubuntu Developers [12:24] darklajid: there should be some field like X-Orig-Maintainer or something like that [12:24] jrib grep [12:24] Filing a bug is not a problem. Learning to package myself is kind of scary.. :) [12:25] ljsoftnet: so why not use grep on the whole thing? And have grep return only 1 result? [12:25] jrib how do i use grep to use only processor 0? [12:25] Have any of you tried DLNA server on Ubunut? [12:25] ljsoftnet: see --max-count in « man grep » [12:26] jrib ok [12:26] ljsoftnet: see if #ubuntu-motu (and maybe #ubuntu-packaging) have better advice [12:27] ljsoftnet: you can at least package it yourself, whether or not you can get it into the repos I am not sure (really depends on what the issues with the current package are). You can always put it in your own ppa. And packaging should not be difficult since there is already a package for an earlier version [12:27] What is the whole Ubuntu for android?

[14:51] and that is a vmware server [14:51] inzen my uptime is about 400 days [14:51] im running ubuntu 11.04 with kernel 2.6.38-8 and i get "panic occurred, switching back to text console" [14:51] inzen: Mine runs 24/7 [14:52] inzen it all depends on what you are doing from the server... are you looking at serving video? [14:52] ohhhhhhhhhhhh awesome!!! [14:52] are you looking at hosting a content management system [14:52] a file server? [14:53] how many clients are you planning on running on the thing [14:53] inzen: it may be a good idea to read up on a few home networking beginner guides [14:53] trever420 I just wanted to know generally what desktop servers do thats all [14:53] I dont have the means to create a server a good old desktop is all I have [14:53] i mean in comparison linksys makes routers that have SAMBA, DHCP, SSH, Apache, amongst other things and they dont even have half the power that my crap box has [14:54] inzen thats fine [14:54] that will work [14:54] if all you want is a simple place to store files [14:54] izen a desktop box is my server [14:54] i mean the term "server" is very vague [14:54] i see.. [14:54] my cellphone can work as a server [14:54] i recommend installing the server version iof ubuntu tho not desktop... [14:55] desktop's overhead is to high [14:55] for home use. i use desktop thrn install the seevices [14:55] i mean it'll work... just not efficient [14:55] how ? tell me how? dr_willis? thats so interesting? tell me [14:55] then turn off the desktop if not needed [14:55] yea true [14:55] [this is so interesting] [14:55] inzen: install the service you need... its a server [14:55] i havent used a GUI i n awhile [14:55] inzen: it may be a good idea to read up on a few home networking beginner guides [14:56] i think he is trolling ;-) [14:56] what is trolling? [14:56] im running ubuntu 11.04 with kernel 2.6.38-8 and i get "panic occurred, switching back to text console",any ideas? [14:56] time to go do some research inzen [14:56] christo_m, stop switching to text console ;-) [14:56] what is trolling trever420? [14:56] just kidding [14:56] im worried about the php cve-2012-0831 vulnerability [14:56] PHP before 5.3.10 does not properly perform a temporary change to the magic_quotes_gpc directive during the importing of environment variables, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks via a crafted request, related to main/php_variables.c, sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c, and sapi/fpm/fpm/fpm_main.c.

"disengaged" is @ over 6500 RPM). It's noisier for sure, but is there any danger in keeping it there permanently? My thinkpad never overheated until a few weeks ago, but now it's overheating constantly unless I set fan speed to "disengaged". [15:02] ^ Did that cut off?

[15:06] I have problem with my VPN connection to Windows server; I can connect to the server but unable to browse the internal network [15:06] especially in linux dns servers like bind [15:07] parapan: as a test see if they can ping each other. and disable the windows firewalls. === danny__ is now known as bean [15:07] Hi there. Would dual booting with W7 on a regular SATA and Ubuntu on an SSD be treated the exact same as dual booting with W7 on a regular SATA and Ubuntu on a regular SATA? [15:07] hi i'm having trouble with hybernating my ubuntu when i close the LID of my notebook It Wont Come back So I Have To Restart Completely [15:08] my question is if I register a domain with outside nameserver like freedns.afraid. org, and my ip is dynamic, will it register for me? [15:08] roasted: yes [15:08] i there any patch or command that could fix it...? [15:08] undernet.org [15:08] lucifer: does suspend work okay? [15:08] Myrtti: thanks, I'll definitely check [15:08] roasted, No [15:08] I mean my ip periodically changes [15:08] lucifer: I've personally found "hibernate" to suck, on my windows and linux systems, even on my mac I have issues with hibernate. Suspend tho I've grown to prefer on any platform. [15:08] lucifer: oh wow, if suspend doesn't work either I'm at a loss. [15:09] and I'm not sure how it will register the nameserver [15:09] anyone please [15:09] i fixed my wireless driver using a new patch downloaded from backtrack Website... [15:09] dyndns is handy muszti [15:09] so ithought it could fix this problem as well [15:10] muszti: you just need a ddns-client to update your ip [15:10] dr_willis, I have freedns [15:10] llutz, I've already done that with freedns [15:10] my homme router does dyndns ;) [15:10] lucifer: I'm not sure. Personally, I come here for quick questions. I find the UbuntuForums to have more luck with issues like that because since it sits there all day many more people can read your question. [15:11] lucifer: so I'd post there and check back in a day or so. Personal opinion though, I know issues like that can be frustrating to tolerate until you hear of a fix! [15:11] register q1w2e3r4t5nick [15:11] dr_willis, but how does it happen when a dns registration completed? [15:11] askubuntu.com is a must hit site in addation to the forums [15:11] lucifer: you've been asked not to ask for support in here as you are using blackbuntu, not ubuntu [15:11] muszti: i dont register anything. [15:11] roasted, : well actually ur right but here is faster IF ur lucky enogh to be in the right place in the right time... [15:12] myfancysite.dyndns.com ;) [15:12] lucifer: double the efforts. Post right now, and ask here every so often. See what bites first. :) [15:12] lucifer: post as in, on forums. :) [15:12] ikonia, : sure,leaving now... [15:12] lucifer: remember, too much info is better than not enough... Ubuntu version, model laptop, etc. All of that helps. [15:13] roasted, :TNX Man ;) i'll Check That Out [15:13] lucifer: speaking of which, if you aren't on a true ubuntu variant, that plays a huge key role... [15:13] lucifer: food for thought man. good luck. [15:13] can i ask solution for desktop related issues here? [15:13] ikonia: additional thanks to you sir for your help the other day. [15:14] llutz, is it true that the dns registered if my top level domain refreshes? [15:14] roasted: not a problem [15:14] i was just checking out the settings and suddenly something seems to have gone wrong [15:14] roasted, : Yeah I Go To BlackBuntu Forum [15:14] ikonia: things are working great. I was definitely over thinking it. I actually became frustrated when it all clicked and I realized, wow, it's a matter of 2 commands total, keygen, copy-id, then disable pw auth and it's rock solid. [15:14] muszti: sry, what? [15:15] lucifer: I'm not familiar with that variant, so I can't be of additional help there. :( [15:15] llutz, and if my ip is dinamic it is not a problem when it changes while I'm adding the nameserver? [15:15] when i move around the windows, they seem to stick around in the background, like a shadow [15:15] roasted: that's pretty much the root of it, [15:15] and i dont see the desktop wallpaper but weird black screen with color pixels here and there [15:15] ikonia: yep, anyway, appreciate it.

[16:19] Lint, Oh Ok great thanks [16:19] martian: It doesn't do anything... [16:19] addara_2: well, you could flush all your rules using the -F option. As far as defining the rules, this may not be the best place to get help with that [16:20] heat1: try running it from a terminal. Does this system have a network card that's supported?

Only with the 'buntus [16:21] . Any ideas? [16:22] try epiphany? [16:23] tonsofpcs, I tried Chromium and the same thing happened. I also need to use Firefox. [16:23] martian: I wrote "nm-connection-editor" and it said that the command is not found [16:23] esteeven, try chrome. or install java if its not installed [16:23] greetings, I've been experiencing lag while playing videos, how do i fix this issue? [16:23] martian: I wrote in the terminal "nm-connection-editor" and it said that the command is not found [16:23] esteeven: are you perhaps using a generic font definition like "sans-serif" instead of specifying an actual font family? [16:24] martian: I have an hp laptop... [16:24] !unity [16:24] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com.

[16:24] martian, this is with the default Ubuntu settings. [16:24] rattatoue: i don't know - how do I check? [16:25] martian: it alsa has windows 7 and the network works find... [16:25] martian: it also has windows 7 and the network works find... [16:25] Guest76002, do you know what your video card is first off? [16:25] rattatoue: i don't know... [16:25] hi [16:25] rattatoue: how do i check [16:25] rattatoue: what is the command? [16:26] esteeven: yeah, I'm talking about the actual css. If you just specify "sans-serif" instead of whatever font you expect it to use, the browser will use whatever font your OS or browser has specified as the default sans serif font [16:26] i have dele my guest session [16:26] Guest76002, type lspci -v in the terminal and then half way up it says probably somthing like VGA compatiable controller and it should tell you what your card is [16:26] Guest76002 try lspci|grep Display [16:26] I have a question about unity launcher [16:26] heat1: and you're running 11.04? did you upgrade from a previous release of ubuntu? [16:27] whats your question kpas_ [16:27] I noticed you can only click on the app y9ou want to use once [16:27] martian: Sorry I have 11.10 [16:27] and if you want to open up another it won't [16:27] it's a vga compatible controller: ATI technologies Inc M92 [16:27] for example two termial session [16:27] I didn't have ubuntu before in that laptop [16:27] kpas_, yeah to open another you have to right click the icon and click New whatever the app is [16:27] Mobility radeon HD 4500/5100 [16:28] martian, this is not a site I am building. I have no control over the css. Is that what you meant? [16:28] rattatoue, k I'll give it a try thanks [16:28] martian: I installed windows 7, downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and installed it... [16:28] Oh great flashback....last IRC chat at least 80's. Installed Ubuntu on a netbook, sick of Windows, what is a good how to guide for this Linux flavor? [16:28] esteeven: then that's just a failure on behalf of the sites designer. They are probably not specifying what font to use, so the browser just uses whatever it considers to be the default sans font [16:28] hey, anyone know which project/package is responsible for this lovely magic? [16:28] jconnolly@jconnolly-linux:~$ ircd [16:28] The program 'ircd' can be found in the following packages: * ircd-irc2 [16:29] apt? bash? [16:29] Guest76002, okay look at that list and you should see something under that VGA part that says. Says "Kernel Driver in use:" whats it say for your ATI card? [16:29] I need help connecting to the Windows Shares on my School's network [16:29] martian: I didn't have ubuntu before in that laptop [16:29] martian: I installed windows 7, downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and installed it... [16:29] It keeps giving Failed to Recieve share list from server [16:29] guys, i have a path /usr/share/themes that i can override from /home/users/.themes, does have more folders as the example that can be override? [16:29] Kernel driver in use : radeon [16:30] Ubuntu 11.10 32bitr [16:30] heat1: strange. try running nm-applet [16:30] martian, okay. I will try to adjust in Firefox then. [16:30] Guest76002, Im not real sure about ATI cards, but that sounds like the right driver for your card. Are you talking about videos on your computer or like youtube flash videos? [16:30] martian: from terminal? [16:30] rattatoue: that is correct [16:30] heat1: sure [16:30] found it [16:30] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandNotFoundMagic [16:30] rattatoue: streaming videos [16:30] <333 [16:30] rattatoue, ah I see that only certain programs allow you to open up multiple instances [16:31] kpas_, right. Thats why I dont use unity anymore actually. [16:31] Guest76002, is it just one site or any flash site? [16:31] rattatoue: i recall fixing this once - there was an issue with flash [16:31] rattatoue: something about installling flash updates [16:32] from the terminal it says "command not found" [16:32] brb [16:32] Guest76002, you can try running the update-manager check if there is a flash video update otherwise you will have to manually install it [16:32] rattatoue: install flashaid, i think? [16:33] heat1: well, that's strange. For some reason you don't have network manager installed. I'm still on 11.04 so maybe they took it out in 11.10 in some stroke of genius [16:33] martian: from the terminal it says "command not found", then I hitted alt-f2, wrote nm-applet and hitted it doesn't do anything [16:33] Guest76002, your welcome to try that if you want, but honestly never used the program so I wouldnt know on that. [16:34] kpas_, a suggestion. This is up to personal preference, if unity doesnt work for you. One of the best things about Linux is you can use a different DE that might suit you more. [16:34] martian: I'm going to install network managed typing "aptitude install network-manager", Is that ok? [16:34] martian: I'm going to install network manager typing "aptitude install network-manager", Is that ok? [16:35] hello guyz [16:35] hi [16:35] heat1: yeah, I was about to suggest that. No idea why it wouldn't be though... don't need to repeat yourself ;) [16:35] martian: I'm going to install network manager typing "aptitude install network-manager", do you agree? [16:36] heat1: yes, you don't need to ask three times :-P [16:36] Is there a way to get dhclient (or similar) to never try to renew leases [16:36] rattatoue, , yeah I know - however when I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 it (fu bar) my installation [16:36] other than insanely long lease times [16:37] kpas_, I was meaning install like KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon Desktop, Gnome Shell etc. Not upgrade to 11.10 [16:37] martian: sorry, I thought that you wanted me to repeat the question... [16:37] ok ubuntu question... i have a ubuntu server set up... it's acting as my router essentially... it has two NICs.. one (eth0) is my WAN side, and (eth1) is my LAN side. My DHCP runs on ETH1 so that any machine connected to ETH1 gets an IP.. I am using IPTables for firewall rules. [16:37] I have OpenSSH server on this box [16:38] i read http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android ... when will this be available? :) [16:38] martian: I can't install it because I don't have network... [16:38] rattatoue, yes I did use fallback to gnome3.2 but it locks up now. I was running gnome on 11.04 [16:38] i use both android and ubuntu... a mix would be greaT :D [16:38] but i changed the port to 54321... what is the proper way to configure IPTables to accept SSH requests on ETH0 (WAN side) [16:38] i'm currently using ubuntu 11.10, n now going to change my hard drive, is there is any way to transfer all installed packages and customization that i have made to current ubuntu to the new one that is going to install on my new hard drive? [16:38] kpas_, are you on ATI by chance [16:38] I am having a problem with vsftpd. I can delete and read files but i can not delete or read directories that i try to create. how can i fix this? === kermit is now known as kermit_ [16:38] bilal03: Burn a gparted live cd [16:39] bilal03: hook up both harddrives and copy the partitions from the origianl onto the new one [16:39] rattatoue, you mean - I installed nvidia... [16:39] after [16:39] do i need ibus on a workstation? [16:39] trench, iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 --dport 54321 -j ACCEPT i believe [16:39] kpas_, yes did you install your latest video driver? [16:39] err, not trench [16:39] trever420, iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 --dport 54321 -j ACCEPT [16:39] i believe [16:39] so i have the same ubuntu there? with all my settings [16:39] bilal03: yep [16:40] Minor issue. I think I deleted the WiFi icon from the toolbar on XFCE. [16:40] thanks a lot, i ll try [16:40] rattatoue, running nvidia_96 [16:40] bilal03, use tab-complete ;) makes talking to be people a lot easier. [16:40] trever420: your using ufw or just plain iptables? [16:40] kpas_, then thats not why its locking up. I am on latest gnome-shell without any probs [16:40] How do I put a wifi icon on XFCE? [16:41] goodafternoon [16:41] didn't get it [16:41] rattatoue, I am thinking a bad upgrade however it is an older machine running graphics card GeForce FX5200/AGP/SSE2 [16:41] i am running unity 2d why is it that the buttons for close minimize and maximize are not visible on full screen in 3D they are [16:41] anyone ever had this problem before? where you can change files but not folders in vsftpd? [16:41] xs1 just plain iptables [16:42] kpas_, do not expect the 96 nvidia driver to work perfect, it is such an old driver, no longer maintained. [16:42] bean that's it? [16:42] really? === Bry8Star_ is now known as Bry8Star [16:42] Oer, worked great in 11.04 [16:42] kpas_, that is possible. Your graphics card could be the problem as its not new enough to run it. But you should be able to run Unity without any problems. [16:42] everything else has changed.. but not the drivetr :) [16:42] "Cannot open file as archive" Can i repair this .zip file or its dead ? [16:43] trever420, I believe so. [16:43] rattatoue, yeah I am running unity now - I am thinking of a fresh install shortly [16:43] awesome thanks :-) [16:43] rabbi1, there may be some zip command line tools that have a repair option [16:43] rabbi1: or it's not a zip [16:43] bilal03, instead of typing , my name is bean, not . [16:43] kpas_, thats usually always recommended then upgrades. I mean you can do upgrades, but then you can have a bad upgrade and mess up your packages etc [16:43] trever420: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i $WAN --dport 54321 -j ACCEPT ($WAN= write your wan interface) [16:43] anyone else has this problem on unity 2D [16:43] bean, got it thanks :) [16:44] Dr_willis: thanks, will have a check [16:44] trever420: if you dont have big iptables kowledge ufw is very nice [16:44] and simple to use [16:44] ufw? what is that? [16:44] xsl: what about firestarter [16:44] rattatoue, I agree - example was I could not configure my monitors to twin view [16:44] firestarter seems a hole lot better [16:44] rabbi1: try (in a terminal): zip FF yourfile.zip [16:44] whole* [16:44] How do I put a wifi icon on XFCE? [16:44] rcmaehl: it's nice also .. but with stuff that can confuse some people up [16:45] kpas_, I always one run monitor, but I have tried once or twice for twinview and never really had a problem with it. [16:45] rcmaehl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [16:45] xsl: true. Just don't let anyone go into the settings and just right click and accept connection from source and you should be fine [16:45] rattatoue, nvid... would not show both monitor therefor I had to use my old xorg.conf from my 11.04 [16:45] martian: What can I do? [16:45] xs1: is UFW a GUI frontend for IPTables? [16:45] and does it run from a web interface? [16:45] kpas_, did you try nvidia-settings thing [16:45] trever420: command line [16:46] heat1: did you install network manager? [16:46] martian: what does it do ? [16:46] rattatoue, oh yeah all that crap plus reinstall nv drivers - nothing worked until I used my old xorg [16:46] rabbi1: attempts to fix the archive [16:46] kpas_, sounds like you need that fresh install [16:46] I can't because I don't have network on ubuntu 11.10 [16:46] :| People at my school keep thinking I'm on command prompt :| This ISN'T a winblows pc [16:46] martian: nope, it just zipped the .zip file [16:46] rattatoue, yes [16:47] stuff easy like "ufw status" "ufw status verbose" "ufw allow 54321/tcp" [16:47] martian: I can't because I don't have network on ubuntu 11.10 [16:47] rattatoue, some this year ;) [16:47] it is rly very simple to work with [16:48] rabbi1: sorry, try: zip -FF --out fixed.zip yourzip.zip [16:48] kpas_, now this is just my personal preference, but if your going to try Gnome Shell, should give Cinnamon Desktop a try too. [16:49] slow-motion: Hey john [16:49] martian: zip warning: Missing end (EOCDR) signature - either this archive is not readable or the end is damaged [16:49] heat1: ahh right. honestly, that souds fishy. is it possible that the installation process was interrupted when you first installed ubuntu? [16:49] rattatoue, is cinn more similar to gnome 2 or 3 and can I install via app-get [16:49] rabbi1: It's dead jim. [16:49] rcmaehl hi robert [16:50] O_O I forgot to remove that from Irssi [16:50] hello [16:50] rabbi1: are you sure it's a zip? try running "file yourzip.zip" and see what it says [16:50] :( going to flush out :) [16:50] got a short question about security [16:50] if that is OK? [16:50] Lunar_Lander: NO!! [16:50] Lunar_Lander: yep or ask in ##security [16:50] Zip archive data [16:50] OK, I hope it's a short question [16:51] rabbi1: then yep, it's dead :( [16:51] * rcmaehl mourns the lost of the poor zip file [16:51] hi all [16:51] loss* [16:51] :) [16:51] martian: from the -FF command i am able to see the data inside .zip file. but not extract [16:51] I got to go. [16:51] kpas_, yes, you can have it look exactly like gnome2, well I mean theres a few lil differents or I just have mine setup kinda like a start bar in windows was. Its a lot more polished then mate desktop is and looks a lot better. [16:52] I use Thunderbird to read the emails in my uni account and there I got an E-Mail newsletter from an Electronic Shop, but the shop was hacked by someone last year, i.e. that guy replaced the shop with a black site, which said that he took the site down. Now I don't know if the E-Mails coming from the shop are OK. I didn't open the e-mail but of course thunderbird had downloaded it from uni to my harddrive [16:52] I now deleted it [16:52] rattatoue, is it tar ball install or a apt-get install [16:52] rabbi1: that probably means the header of the archive is intact, so zip is still able to see what is supposed to be in it, but the data is probably all garbled [16:52] potential danger? [16:52] kpas_, apt-get install once you add the ppa [16:53] Lunar_Lamp, if you were running on Linux when you downloaded the email due to Linux's file permissions you should be okay. [16:53] I'm having trouble running proftpd on an ubuntu server... every time someone tries to connect (outside the LAN) and set passive mode it times out the connection; I've tried ANYTHING I found in manuals, but nothing happens... passive ports are set, ports are open through iptables, router ports open; nf_conntrack, nf_conntrack, nf_nat_ftp modules loaded, and still nothing [16:53] rattatoue, so when I try I can select what desktop to use when logging in right e.g. gnome, unity, or Cin [16:53] any ideas, please? [16:53] when using sudo my PATH is /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin [16:53] and I can't figure out how to change this [16:54] kpas_, right. I just pick Cinnamon. You can look on youtube its actually from linux-mint but works great in ubuntu too. [16:54] this is strange because there is no such /usr/X11R6 folder on my computer [16:54] Lunar_Lander: very unlikely. Not only is thunderbird 'smart' enough to not run things the way some other M$ email clients may have, but being linux, there are not many email virus type things out there to worry about. I wouldn't load the remote images in thunderbird (as it may ask you to do) as it will tell an attacker that someone at your IP is viewing the email, but aside from that don't stress it. [16:54] Lunar_Lander, doubtful, i take it you're on ubuntu? [16:54] ciao a tutti [16:54] rattatoue, will give it a try when I rebuild my system [16:54] !list [16:54] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [16:54] bean exactly, Ubuntu 11.10 [16:55] rattatoue, tell him Ubuntu won't support cinamon :-) [16:55] rattatoue, thanks for the info [16:55] !list [16:55] martian: nope, i was able to extract files one by one, mainfile.zip had 8 other .zip files but i was able to unzip 7 out of 8 one by one. the corrupted .zip file was the last one. .... [16:55] martian: thanks a lot ...! [16:55] is it the program sudo that is setting the PATH to this strange value? or is it something else? [16:55] thanks martian I first thought to completely forget viruses but then someone at the Ubuntu Forum said that even on ubuntu someone was able to steal his e-mail info [16:55] Oer, I told him it was from a ppa. Whats wrong with that? That alone says its not from ubuntu. [16:55] rabbi1: rad! [16:56] oh martian what I also have is plain text view and don't have images showing up in the e-mail [16:56] rattatoue, Oer , Yes I get it. No one OS can support every DE out their [16:56] I think that is what you meant? [16:56] rattatoue, Oer, but it does not hurt to try different things now and then [16:56] that if an image is attached that it is just an attachment and isn't displayed at once [16:57] martian: Reactive Attachment Disorder ? ;) [16:57] rattatoue, Oer, plus this might give me ceedence to get the wife to spring for a more powerfull PC since my is about 6 + years old [16:57] Lunar_Lander: some emails embed images, where others host them remotely and expect your client to fetch them like a web browser. regardless, there's very little to worry about. [16:57] ah [16:57] yeah [16:57] martian: a final question on that maybe? [16:58] Lunar_Lander: no need to ask to ask =D [16:58] !info whenjobs [16:58] Package whenjobs does not exist in oneiric [16:58] kpas_, try it and have fun :-) [16:59] guys, rc.local won't start on startup. it shows in chkconfig as on. any ideas? [16:59] I know a professor in australia and I wrote him on my freemail account (GMX) and the uni account and sometimes I get a Facebook email from him, simultaneously on both accounts, i.e. "Check my Pictures on Facebook" and that looks like he caught a virus and I thought about informing him and when he would write back, I could open up that e-mail allright then? [17:00] how can i disable compiz only for my cursor ? [17:00] Lunar_Lander: again, being on thunderbird and linux, there's (I'm choosing my words carefully, as nothing is ever 100%) really no chance that you're going to get an email virus [17:00] OK thanks [17:00] and sorry again [17:00] I once told here that I had windows up to last year [17:01] and then in the summer I started to get paranoid out of the blue [17:01] until I ordered the 5 CD 11.10 option from Canonical [17:01] how come when i open firefox, watch a flash video and put it in fullscreen the screen flickrs [17:01] :) [17:01] Lunar_Lander, E-Mail is just a text files, there cannot be viruses [17:01] OK [17:01] I'm having trouble running proftpd on an ubuntu server... every time someone tries to connect (outside the LAN) and set passive mode it times out the connection; I've tried ANYTHING I found in manuals, but nothing happens... passive ports are set, ports are open through iptables, router ports open; nf_conntrack, nf_conntrack, nf_nat_ftp modules loaded, and still nothing; could someone give me [17:01] any idea? [17:01] ah one more thing Lint and martian: Is there any place to suggest ideas for future ubuntus? [17:02] ok Ubuntu is playing jokes on my. (Not in the mood right now.) [17:02] there was site for 'ideas', but I don'tknow if it's abandoned now [17:02] ah [17:02] I download and save a movie with sabnzbd into a folder. After ubuntu finishes, the whole content of that folder disappeaers. [17:02] wtf? [17:02] I would like to have the Update symbol from Ubuntu 10 back, the red/orange exclaimation mark [17:03] my 11.10 just slaps the update window into my face [17:03] is there some kinda Checkdisk for Ubuntu? [17:04] VIPER-II: as far as I know, when you [17:04] !fsck [17:04] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [17:04] no [17:04] VIPER-II, fsck [17:04] ah [17:04] i am trying to copy a .so file to my opera plugin lib, but it will not allow me to, as I do not have root permissions. is there another way to do this? or can i temporarily grant myself access? i am the administrator on this pc. [17:04] k [17:04] Lunar_Lander: oh, the red symbol usually just means an update has been installed and you need to reboot for it to take affect. I agree, the update manager is a bit obtrusive. You can set it to only check once a week or something [17:04] themaster_, use sudo [17:04] ah ok martian :) [17:04] themaster_: users may have a .opera/ dir in their home [17:04] aihgt [17:04] tx [17:05] if it helps any, i am running ubuntu 11.10 64 bit [17:05] martian and thanks, I thought red means security and orange means normal update [17:05] drwillis: and if i cant find this directory? === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [17:06] OK martian and Lint, you helped me a ton :)! [17:06] Lunar_Lander: hmm, maybe it does. I dunoh :) Glad to help! [17:06] :) [17:06] cu soon! [17:06] all i see is my username, and then the normal user directory. desktop, documents, photo, etcetera [17:07] themaster_: it may be some other name. opera should make it [17:07] themaster_, show hidden files (Ctrl+H) [17:07] note the . in the name ;) [17:08] martian: No, it didn't, it said "successful" [17:08] does fsck run over NTFS drives? [17:09] Hi, for some reason mpg123 plays some files far too fast (as in playing an album at 45). I think it could be something to do with the fact it is reporting they are MPEG 2 Layer III whereas it's fine when playuing what it sees as MPEG 1 Layer III === milind is now known as abyss42 [17:09] VIPER-II: use windows to check ntfs is best [17:09] heat1: well, I'm afraid I'm not sure what else to do. It seems unusual that you don't have network manager installed. === root is now known as Guest18268 [17:11] hey guys i need help to customize the bootloader [17:11] im totaly new with linux/ubuntu [17:11] I have this error when I do service ssh start: Missing privilege separation directory: /var/run/sshd [17:11] Anyway to force Nautilus to always open folders in a new tab, and never a new window? === kermit_ is now known as kermit [17:11] hai people i am having a little problem with vsftpd on a server for a LAN (not internet). II had it working before after i chown'd something but after a restart its dead again. I can upload and delete FILES. And i can navigate and delete directories that the server had created. When i create a directory i can not open it or delete it. How can i fix this last part? [17:12] even if I created the directory and set the permission... the service doesn't want to start [17:12] varyak: Why do you want to do that then?

[17:32] haylo: we'll, one of my Ubuntu 11.1 desktops have it both displayed, and on another, it doesn't. [17:32] vindav, use 11.04 and switch to the classic (gnome) fallback mode. its way easier to use [17:32] heat1: is sky2 module loaded? [17:33] goathouse774, PPAs are actually repositories which update. But when you download the package as source and install it as well, you are still using unsupported software.

[18:58] $hi [18:58] haylo yes, I like Debian, I was a Debian user, before. and when discovered ubuntu, became a big fan. [18:58] Maybe I should move to debian as well then, since I don't like the changes either. [18:59] klm, to the topic, please [18:59] but a debian is not realy "all working out of the box" [18:59] Canadian1296_: yt [18:59] klm: Do you have a support question? [18:59] Humans are good when we aspire to our humanitarian nature. Love and compassion is an animal trait, our ability to see outrselves and perciave our world gives us the power to understand good and evil [18:59] it take long time to configure out every little things that make a good experience with a cimputer.

[19:01] llutz: the software center refers to as "installation tracker" with "checkinstall" below that. is that the right one? [19:02] Is there a way to prevent ssh server starting by default instead. ufw is way too vague. [19:03] Somelauw, why do you need ssh server at all? [19:03] Lint: So that other people can hack me if they want. [19:03] goathouse774: yes [19:03] Lint: I just need it sometimes, but not all the time. [19:03] CAnadian: sorry somone was at my door..........gparted showes no deviced detected [19:04] Somelauw: which version of ubuntu is this?

I want it to be disabled until I start it manually. [19:04] !checkinstall | goathouse774 [19:04] goathouse774: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[19:07] devish: you setup portforwarding: incoming port 80 -> your computers-ip:8080? [19:07] devish: computers LAN-IP [19:07] trismn, should the line start on filesystem [19:07] be commented?

[19:10] Somelauw: yes [19:10] free 10 GB =) [19:10] I think i have a corrupted ALSA or pulseaudio, how can I reinstall them?

[19:14] llutz: trying to figure out, but they should allow network if any one wants to host a site or something for himself [19:14] ummhasan, no [19:15] devish: some ISP don't allow that on dialup/dsl/cable connections [19:15] Canadian1296_: any clues on why my hd isnt showing up? [19:15] didnt know gmail had it's own client for linux [19:15] (other than android) [19:15] devish: they want to sell business lines [19:15] umm hasan: Could be a physical problem with the disk [19:16] the boot log shows there is somthing or a 'blank' drive there in the primary slot - it does not show 'none' like the empty slots [19:16] llutz: I don't see what you're referring to as "sudo make install".

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".

In the "Compile" section it talks about pointing to the FMOD installation -- I'm assume so it can compile FMOD with the everything else -- but I chose not to install FMOD so I'm hoping I can proceed without messing the whole thing up, or not having sound. [20:03] monkeydust: thanks [20:04] canadian1296: you too thanks [20:04] Hello.

I try to boot into the usb stick by choosing to boot from "generic usb disk", but it only boots into windows. How can this be solved? [20:08] good evening. today i saw a default route on one of our servers that had an asterisk (*) where the router ip should be displayed. what does that mean? i never saw it before, but it's a new system installed by a consultant that knows what he does. so i assume it's legit. [20:09] obiwlan: * is a wildcard. In this case it means all ip's. [20:09] Canadian1296: i know, but i doesn't make sense as a default routes gw [20:09] dagerik: Maybe your BIOS doesn’t support booting from USB. Have you tried with another one before? [20:10] s/i/it/ [20:10] vlt: no [20:10] Canadian1296: or does it? [20:11] Hey guys, my menus and icons all look like the OLD X11 style on a brand new laptop setup. [20:12] Anybody know where I should look to fix this? I've tried switching Ubuntu themes, and poked around in the NVidia settings. [20:12] It's weird, some of them look normal, but folder icons and things are completely missing. [20:12] Chronax, can you browse your home directory? [20:12] Chronax: Perhaps you have the old X11 style? [20:12] I started "unity-greeter" in console and then closed it. now my gnome is screwed and I cant change the theme back: http://i.imgur.com/PQc6v.jpg - keyboard is qwerty, cant change theme... rebooted/ logged session out, etc. nothing helps and compiz doesnt work either. anyone has an idea how to fix it ?

I've installed the drivers from the Canon site, and the printer is listed by LibreOffice, but I can't print with it....how would I do a test print or something? It's kinda important I get it working, useful for school work. No hurry, but asap is needed! :) Thanks. [20:13] dorgan: what do you mean? [20:13] Canadian1296: Yes, but it looks like this: [20:13] http://i.imgur.com/lJl3V.png [20:13] :( [20:13] WTF? [20:13] This is a new System76 laptop. [20:13] Chronax: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:13] Seryth are u using the CUPS driver? [20:13] well using ssh to run a remote command seems to be pusshing back the output of the remote command [20:13] i dont want to see the output of the remote command [20:13] trever420: [20:14] hmmm never heard of someone wanting to do that dorgan so not sure [20:14] dorgan, >/dev/null ? [20:14] trever420: I saw something about CUPS on the Ubuntu Forums, and I installed it, no idea where to go from there....all I've done so far is install that and then download the .rpms from the canon website, convert to .deb with alien, and install.... [20:14] i dunno if you do At
