[00:00] cowslammer, then lspci [00:00] blueskin, have you explored xrandr? === J-Mobi-J is now known as Jyothis [00:01] hey [00:01] celthunder: hey [00:01] ztag100 xchat has a web client [00:01] ztag100, I'm kind of curious about your problem. Is it resolved, or did you abandon Mint without solving it? [00:01] lint it's a broadcom [00:01] Anyone? [00:01] pxc: I haven't found a solution to fix it [00:02] pxc: I really just wanted to give mint a spin... but it isn't proving worth it [00:02] cowslammer, there should be a package with a firmware for your model [00:02] cowslammer this is a broadcom ? [00:02] I haven't abandoned it yet, if you have a fix === pcxDragon is now known as sienciuen [00:02] ztag100, let's try it one last time. What's the problem? [00:02] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: Did you follow all the instructions? [00:02] boot freezes [00:02] pxc, looking at it now [00:02] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: It looks like a file for one of the programs [00:02] lint where do i get that pckage? [00:03] ...ah, that's for X, not the command line. no use in my situation. [00:03] cfhowlett, yes [00:03] and mint's black boot doesn't let me see what's going on [00:03] cowslammer see this first https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:03] _Marcus: Yes, I am up to that point in the guide, and I've follwed it to the letter. The folder exists but it is empty. There should be a file called smtpd.conf in it [00:03] I'm gonna try mint on one of my more powerful machines latter [00:03] ztag100, have you tried editing the grub command line before boot, so that you can see what's happening? [00:04] pxc: no how can I do that? [00:04] ztag100, just remove the ‘quiet’ and ‘splash’ parameters from the kernel line on boot. I don't remember the keyboard combination to edit the command line on grub, but it tells you on the screen [00:04] <_Marcus> Canadian1296: No idea then [00:04] _Marcus: K thanks anyways [00:04] press e? [00:04] blueskin: you mean how do you change the resolution of the virtual consoles (TTYs)? [00:04] ztag100, aye [00:04] Hello ... can anyone help me? I need to turn on my bluetooth device. I am relatively new and do not know where to start. [00:05] ok [00:05] trying this out [00:05] wierd [00:05] it booted normally that time [00:06] ztag100: bizarre. Maybe it's a quirk of the video drivers, and disabling the splash fixes it [00:06] could be [00:06] blueskin: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAxOTk [00:06] random question - but anybody here know of a good java related channel? [00:07] theunsureguy: #java ? [00:07] hmm, I'm really surprised nobody else has had this problem, ah well. [00:07] night [00:07] blueskin: you can use ‘kernel modesetting’ to change the resolution of your screen before X / without X starting up. That article talks about KMS in the VirtualBox guest additions (virtual host drivers) [00:07] theunsureguy: ##java, or #java on quakenet. searchIRC.com has really good answers [00:07] Yah [00:07] tested twice [00:07] it works [00:07] thanks ztag100 and Nach0z [00:07] cool :-D [00:07] pxc, X isn't installed. [00:07] oui cv [00:07] pxc: Thanks [00:07] blueskin, that's fine. There are two ways to change it. You can set the resolution in the grub command line, or you can change it use KMS [00:07] you welcome [00:07] How can I permenantly edit the boot? [00:08] ztag100: /etc/default/grub [00:08] pxc, great, how do I do those? >.> [00:08] thanks [00:09] 1 sec, blueskin [00:10] blueskin: here's the debian wiki on the subject (setting it up) [00:10] and blueskin, ztag100, you're actually looking at editing the same file to do what each of you want: /etc/default/grub [00:10] pxc: just edited the file [00:10] how to restric google.com (https) to use a single ip address? [00:10] hopefully, I can test out mint and see how I like it [00:11] ok, what do I put in grub? [00:11] ztag100, all you needed to change was the $GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT, right? [00:11] I think so [00:11] blueskin, there's a section that is headed by the comment ‘the resolution used on graphical terminal’ in my /etc/default/grub. Is that in yours? [00:12] /msg NickServ identify [00:12] all I did was remove quiet splash from the quotes [00:12] the $GRUB_GFXMODE variable determines what resolution the VCs are [00:12] got it, thanks [00:12] ztag100, by which you mean you deleted those words from the string? [00:12] yes [00:13] not the whole line [00:13] Question - with /home on a separate partition, what are good "defaults" to have? 0 2? [00:13] just those words [00:13] ok, changed that to 1280x1024 [00:14] ztag100, there's one more thing you'll have to do on Mint, which is call /sbin/grub-mkconfig to generate a new /boot/grub/grub.cfg from your /etc/default/grub file [00:14] how do I do that? [00:14] ‘sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg’ should do it. running ‘sudo update-grub’ should call that automatically, as well as doing other stuff that is probably a waste of time [00:15] but either command should be safe and effective [00:15] Is there any way to convert any stroke to fill? (making it the same color as the fill etc) === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [00:15] blueskin, is your virtual behaving the way you want it to now?

I was just explaining to ztag100 that you need to do that to update your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, which ultimately effects the changes [00:18] yeah, that was mentioned in the config file [00:18] blueskin, also keep in mind that you can run the virtual without a GUI window at all, and access it over SSH in a terminal emulator of any size [00:18] i cant add repositories, my error is here, http://paste.ubuntu.com/853432/ [00:19] !test [00:19] Testing...

[00:24] yup, X no starting [00:24] Minnstan, form the cli you would open the sources list or run th correct command. Is a it a ppa? [00:25] not shure what the prob is [00:25] ztag100: You're running gnome/gdm, right? [00:26] lightdm [00:26] I'm seriously considering just going back to xubuntu [00:27] hi , what's the best way of monitoring an interface threshold ? [00:27] ztag100, shut down lightdm, whatever the command is for that. Do they have lightdm on upstart yet, or is it still /etc/init.d? [00:27] I have my home directory on mdadm raid. In /etc/fstab, what are good defaults to have? I simply added UUID="uuid" ext4 defaults 0 2 and it's erroring out :( [00:27] i am trying to set myself alarms if the usage goes higher than %30 [00:28] pxc: Most of Ubuntu stuff is on upstart nowadays, except third-party packages that is [00:28] theadmin, I dunno if that includes lightdm, and I dunno if Mint has followed suit yet. My only Ubuntu machine is headless [00:29] cfhowlett, ok i checked that link and i don't find anything for my network card although lspci says it's supported [00:29] pxc: It does include lightdm (again, all of Ubuntu's official stuff uses Upstart. Only third-party packages don't). But the basic command which will work anywhere is something like this: sudo /etc/init.d/*dm stop [00:29] pxc: So no sweat there :D [00:30] cowslammer *me facepalm* apologies. I thought you were having WIFI issues. Sorries in abundance. Mea culpa, mea culpa.

You mean totally outside the official repos [00:30] cfhowlett, no no no it IS a wifi problem [00:31] pxc: Yeah. [00:31] pxc: Sorry, what do you want me to do?

Then you can watch X crash [00:33] cfhowlett, refresh my memory how to do a text capture [00:33] Hi everyone, I need to search for a string inside all files in my system.

[00:40] i need to know what the default remote desktop software is on a ubuntu install [00:40] NyLes: Well then just keep it at whatever it is... Also, this is not an Ubuntu-related question...

I just swapped out my OS drive for an SSD (though I still have W7 on a 250gb SATA drive by itself). I just reinstalled Ubuntu 11.10 and I was getting an error when booting about fstab.

[01:15] Ah, well no, sorry. It's zizoo (the "oo" is like in "boo"), and it's a nonsense nickname I came up with. Makes sense that it would be close to something in another language. Where are you from, ztag100, if I may? [01:15] Egypt [01:15] And will try that in a sec gkaklas, thank you. === ztag100 is now known as zizo [01:16] I've redownloaded the iso like 5 times and from different sites, and have used different usb installers, but every time it will crash [01:16] John, when you boot the computer what do you see? maybe ubuntu installed properly but the bootloader didn't [01:16] Error unknown file system grub rescue [01:16] something like that [01:17] john tried the alternate (text) installer? [01:17] What is that? [01:18] !freenx [01:18] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [01:18] is freenx just remote x? or is similar to vnc? [01:18] John, this is the grub command line. from there you can tell grub where the kernel and initramfs are and specify the root partition. [01:18] hey folks...Im trying to upgrade my laptop...whats the best laptop with little or no compatibility issues with ubuntu 10.04 ? [01:18] John http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate also please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [01:18] John, try "configfile" and then hit TAB [01:19] back === fr0stbyte is now known as ericmuyser2 [01:19] sh4d0wK45t https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops?action=show&redirect=HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops [01:19] i installed pms along with MDP and set the path of my music to "/home/user/Music" but it still does not show any of my music when i run pms [01:19] sh4d0wK45t: Thing of it more in terms of hardware rather than manufacturer or model number. system76 is not bad though [01:19] sh4d0wK45t: think* [01:20] Anyone know how to upgrade to backtrack 5 from 4? [01:20] how do I join a custom server? [01:20] other than freenode etc [01:20] !backtrack|jhawk65 [01:20] jhawk65: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:22] Hi room, anybody willing to help me solve bluetooth in terminal on android phone? ") [01:23] JBeezy, this is ubuntu support.:) [01:23] JBeezy: is the terminal on phone or in ubuntu? [01:23] JBeezy, what are you trying to accomplish? [01:23] ubuntu in phone! [01:23] cfhowlett, you still there? [01:23] rooted phone? [01:23] bluetooth PAN [01:23] yea [01:24] i'm halfway there, but blueman doesn't see adaptor [01:24] JBeezy: and you are trying to connect from a ubuntu computer? or ubuntu is actually installed on the phone itself? [01:24] phone itself [01:25] JBeezy: Does rfkill work? [01:25] let me see, any options? [01:25] gkaklas: My system crashed while trying to start up after using pm-hibernate. It seems to also be powered by s2disk (it showed a terminal-style output of its behavior telling me things like "s2disk saving state ..."). [01:25] yes [01:26] guys, im tying to start using ubuntu. but i also would like to have a windows so i could boot into it if i needed. i have 2 250GB hds, what would be better install each one into 1 different hd, or partition both into the same hd? [01:27] David_Burkhardt, try booting from a livecd. Mount the partition where ubuntu is ("sudo mount /dev/sd?? /media/somewhere"), chroot the mounted drive ("sudo chroot /media/somewhere") and try "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and reboot normally. If you get any errors try "sudo dpkg --configure -a". Not sure if it will work though... [01:27] chown_, no better really, it is a matter of understanding the bootloaders and the mbr. [01:28] chown_, depends on your space needs. Id just put each os on its own HD. and the grub on the ubuntu mbr [01:28] 'rfkill bluetooth' ? [01:28] can't get into a terminal. Is there any way to do it from boot up without admin password? [01:29] JBeezy: rfkill list [01:29] David_Burkhardt back... [01:29] 'no...file of directory' [01:29] So zizo, is Ziad an Arabic name then, if you are from Egypt? And is it pronounced "Zee-odd" or "Zh+odd" (where "zh" is to "z" as "sh" is to "s"). [01:30] JBeezy: hmm can ubuntu on the phone use wireless? [01:30] it can use wifi [01:30] Can I get to a terminal from boot up without admin password? [01:30] Oh well. Anyways, any tips on why s2disk would cause my computer to crash while loading a saved session? [01:31] Sorry, I can't help you. [01:31] David_Burkhardt, theres grub rescue/recovery options. so yes - or you can have init start up bash. [01:31] hmm....i don't know, maybe if use uses what android gives it, I don't know as much as I would like about it [01:31] I'm a linux rookie user [01:31] JBeezy: it has like a networkmanager that can see wifi networks or its bridged? [01:31] zizoo, does the output confirm that the state was saved? you say the computer crashes on resume, do you get any errors or just a blank screen? [01:31] Ok dr Willis, Hw do I accomplish this? [01:32] David_Burkhardt, grub normally has a recovery/rescue menu item === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:33] how can i find out? if it is bridge do you think I would still beable to run bluetooth commands for PAN? [01:33] gkaklas: the start-up screen shows up and loads like normal, but the message "loading state from " appears below the loading bar. However, the loading bar freezes after ~1 cycle, and the computer stops responding to anything. [01:33] a3 times my laptop has gone dark for 5 [01:33] minutes [01:33] I have no menu. I turn the laptop on, it starts to boot, then I get a screen that says cd drive not ready or present. press s to skip..... or wait. then I can do nothing [01:33] David_Burkhardt, you need to boot from a livecd to run an admin terminal. From there use "chmod" like described before. Then, every command you execute will be run like when you run it normally from your installation. [01:33] my only dang goal is to have my laptop connect to phone like network folder so I can sync my microsoft onenotes over bluetooth [01:33] it's installed udubuntu [01:34] Or something to the effect of "loading state from..." ... I didn't think to write it down. [01:34] and some help or explain to understand? [01:34] pls? [01:34] I'll try that. C n I make one from a window based computer, or do I need a linux one? [01:35] David_Burkhardt, you are not booting from a bootable device then. You should reinstall grub from a live cd. if your sustem is broken. [01:35] zizoo, seems like the configuration needs to be modified - i don't know how to do it. Here is the manpage of a2disk http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/s2disk.8.html [01:36] What are the basic steps? 1>install bluez 2>install bluetooth manager for gnome 3>it works?? [01:36] Does anyone have a netbook with ATOM N2600 processor? know whether linux works on it by now? [01:37] every netbook ive seen runs linux decently well. No idea about any new processrs however. :) [01:37] David_Burkhardt, no need to msg me. clarify your question to the channel. I dont know what you are trying to acomplish. [01:37] Sry? [01:38] JBeezy: If you are in a terminal and type --> ifconfig -a can you see your bluetooth [01:38] Dr_willis: ATOM N2600 is brand-new, intel just released at the beginning of the year [01:38] zizoo, sorry but i will have to suggest you visiting ubuntuforums 'cause i have to go to sleep now (it's late right here). Sorry! Tomorrow i will be here again... [01:38] hi [01:38] ajin, id say check the ubuntu forums - i recall there being some decent netbook threads [01:38] yes [01:39] ajin, i got a netbook on clearance for $125 at xmas. :) havent looked into newer ones. [01:39] i see ethernet [01:39] JBeezy: yeah I think the ubuntu install on the phone is probably networked like a virtual machine [01:39] does anyone here use freenx in user mode? [01:40] JBeezy: if so what you are doing mayt not be possible the way you want to do it [01:40] Id love to have a netbook wth more power. :) but buying a 3rd one may get the wife mad. [01:40] hmmm === r is now known as Guest7203 [01:41] JBeezy: Is there not a way to connect your phone to the computer directly through bluetooth? [01:41] Dr_willis: i bought it for linux-learning [01:41] I can do obex ftp [01:41] i can internet share with bluetooth dun [01:42] but I need to mount a folder from my phone so my virutal machine on my laptop can see it [01:42] lol [01:42] JBeezy: maybe you can do a online share like dropbox or something. other than that I have no idea. [01:42] wifi is ok, but I travel and routers block protocals [01:42] JBeezy, not a smart phone? [01:42] I am trying to avoid going through the internet for speed [01:42] JBeezy, my android can do samba, or ssh/sshfs :) [01:43] or even some web gui/file transfer methods. [01:43] i got samba, but places I go block protocals so I can't sync [01:43] is there a freenx channel? [01:43] Dr_willis,,, can your android act as a router that others can wifi through? [01:44] Toph2, for $20 extra a month.. yes. [01:44] Toph2, Mine can, for free! And i have unlimited 4g. [01:44] it's awesome. [01:44] Of course, my 'droid is rooted. [01:44] Dr_willis,,, ok,, my buddy claimed his iphone could do so,, i wasn't sure [01:44] enjoy it while it lasts.. :) [01:44] stevecam,,, i see [01:44] I can be the router too, but like they're talking about, but I waste time switching networks then [01:44] Toph2, they can do a lot more then what the companies want you to do. [01:44] yes it;s possible [01:45] !register [01:45] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[01:46] anyways terminal gave me usb0,sit0.lo,.0 [01:46] those mean anything? [01:46] * zykotick9 remembers a time when #ubuntu was about computers [01:47] JBeezy: yeah ubuntu install on phone is probably virtualized [01:47] poo! [01:48] lol, ok, thanks for your time and help, good luck all! [01:48] JBeezy: You are probably going to need android specific apps to accomplish your goal and then share that folder with you ubuntu install [01:48] xubuntu uses xfce right? [01:48] NyLes: yeah [01:48] bobo37773: thanks.. [01:48] NyLes: Your welcome [01:49] Phr3d13, for me i just plug in my android via usb and the tethering automatically starts ( once I tell android to usb tether ) [01:49] vmware-view-client in the official repo does not work on 64bit, I wonder who is doing the packaging and shall be notified of this bug? thanks [01:49] Phr3d13, the network manager automatically switches the connection over [01:49] the problem is a bunch of conflicted dependencies [01:49] It works for me in windows, but not in Ubuntu === h4ckm3th32nd is now known as h4ckm3 [01:50] Network manager doesn't see my phone as an internet connection [01:50] Phr3d13, maybe you need to add a mobile broadband account in network manager [01:54] does anyone know the hook that gnome uses to alter screen brightness without needing to be sudo? from the command line, all the options I've found seem to require sudo [01:55] xrfang: vmware-view-client does not appear to be an ubuntu package [01:56] xrfang, it has been orphaned: http://packages.qa.debian.org/v/vmware-view-open-client.html === distoops_ is now known as distoops [01:57] tjiggi_fo, it's a pitty [01:57] zykotick9, it is in oneiric-partner [01:58] is -> was [01:59] tjiggi_fo, sorry, I am not talking about "open" client, but the official vmware 5 tech preview, because the open client does not support latest version of PCoIP [02:00] xrfang, yes, I just saw my mistake === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [02:08] is anyone running a 3.0.0 ubuntu linux kernel? === max is now known as Guest38728 [02:09] damo22: why? whats up? [02:10] im trying to build a 3.2.6 kernel for very generic hardware but i cant seem to get the config right [02:10] im doing it from scratch [02:10] damo22: What is the problem you are running into? [02:11] bobo37773, i made it boot on a mac, but it locks up while its scanning for scsi devices [02:11] damo22: hmm do you need scsi support? [02:11] bobo37773, not sure [02:11] hi, how can i disable vinagre for asking for approval for use remote desktop ? [02:12] damo22: try to remove it and see if your kernel will boot. trial and error [02:12] bobo37773, i want to build a kernel that works on mac/pc [02:12] Hi. I *explicitly* need java6 jdk. What is the best way of doing that these days? [02:12] !java [02:12] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [02:13] magn3ts: the only way to get sun-java these days is direct from Oracle [02:13] I have a Ubuntu idea , on the login screen a video plays as you login like beach front or the Ubuntu symbol dancing [02:13] zykotick9: yeah, I think I just found a script that will auto download, and package it === godmachine-e350 is now known as god-zotac === Muska_ is now known as Muska [02:15] bobo37773, i thought i need scsi generic support for usb sticks [02:16] chat9108 see www.spreadubuntu.org [02:16] hi [02:16] damo22: you may. but you also need a booting kernel. is there anything plugged in when trying to boot [02:16] bobo37773, no [02:16] will cp -R file dest replace dest files if the file already exists? [02:17] y0om4 greetings [02:17] damo22: try to strip it then test [02:17] bobo37773, it loads the kernel/initrd into a ramdisk and boots without any media [02:18] damo22: oh okay. so you got it working? === Alan is now known as Guest73610 [02:19] buenas [02:19] Guest73610: Hello. Do you speak english? [02:20] something [02:20] symlinks are @ the OS level right? [02:20] like if im getting this error: Bundler::PathError: Could not install to path `Jemfile` because of an invalid symlink. Remove the symlink so the directory can be created. .. this means that I need to hack something out of a system process right? [02:21] bobo37773, the booting process works, and the kernel initialises, but i think there is a conflict with certain drivers that are built into the kernel, as there are no modules [02:22] damo22: You are building a huge generic kernel? Or one just for your hardware? [02:22] delinquentme: uh no. it means there is a symlink named the same as a directory that is trying to be created. delete the symlink it is telling you then reinstall the application [02:22] bobo37773, it doesnt need to be that huge, i just need ethernet + ata [02:23] i'm trying to setup ncmpc++ and i already have mdp installed and I go to /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp to edit the config file and set the directory of where my music is located but I don't have permission to extract the config folder and if i just open it and edit the config file in a text editor my changes don't save. [02:23] will cp -R file dest replace dest files if the file already exists? [02:23] damo22: No I mean how are you doing it? If it is a generic kernel then it should work. I dont see why not. [02:23] or will it skip it? [02:24] orangepnut: outside of your home directory you need to use sudo/gksudo to edit files [02:24] y0om4: the files will be overwritten [02:24] delinquentme: Do you know your paths? [02:24] can you make it so the files will not be overwritten? [02:24] bobo37773, i am making it generic by compiling all the modules relevant to intel and i586 ethernet and ata controllers into the kernel [02:24] zykotick9, I'm new to linux so how exactly would I do that? sudo gedit and the filepath? or? [02:25] !gksudo | orangepnut [02:25] orangepnut: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:25] Hey, how would I go about making partitions mount automatically on start-up? [02:25] Question - I'm running an E350 APU. I thought the AMD drivers and the E350 APU chipset was awesome for 1080 playback on Ubuntu? Do I have to use the proprietary drivers? I heard the open source drivers were great but my playback is nothing short of terrible right now. Am I to use the proprietary driver??? [02:25] orangepnut: so "gksudo gedit /path/to/file" [02:25] zykotick9, thank you [02:25] you just put -n i guess [02:25] damo22: ah I see. So it is a custom kernel. Are you sure you have all the modules you need? How did you gather information about your system? [02:25] bobo37773, I'm deploying to a remote server and I'm trying to figure out what part of this jruby application is creating the symlink [02:26] y0om4: -n does appear to be what you want [02:26] bobo37773, i am guessing, i just want it to work on most model macs and pcs from i586 upwards [02:26] delinquentme: hmm. if you are logged into it you could start by looking for that symlink in your path --> echo $PATH [02:27] hey, I'm trying to have my bell volume automatically set to 100 (from the default 50) automatically when I log in, but right now I have to do it manually each time, since no matter where I put the "xset b 100" command, it doesn't stick [02:27] hi, how can i disable vinagre for asking for approval for use of remote desktop how can i disable this? [02:27] I've tried .xinitrc, .xsession, a script that is run at login, and setting it as a normal startup command [02:28] any ideas where to put it so it sticks? [02:28] bobo37773, most intel macs that use efi anyway [02:28] damo22: ah. guessing. that may be your problem. try this manual --> http://aligunduz.org/random/LinuxKernelInANutshell.pdf [02:28] damo22: Yeah I am pretty sure your right there [02:29] quantumlemur: tried cron -e ? [02:29] no, actually, let me try that (although it wouldn't be a satisfatory answer to the question, just a solution to the problem :P ) [02:31] quantumlemur: ah I didn't read your whole question ignore my response then [02:32] * mosno wonders why /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm is in his path [02:33] Is there a way to simulate a right-click when you have a one-button mouse? [02:33] quantumlemur: Why won't your script run as a .config/autostart/ script ? [02:34] ^_^ [02:34] morning all [02:34] good evening :) [02:35] bobo37773, (assuming, as it would appear, that those are the scripts created by the "Startup Applications..." dialog), my best guess is that it does run, but that the setting does not stick [02:35] nub for ubuntu..<- [02:35] metasansana, I added it as a cron job, but it isn't changing the setting [02:35] quantumlemur: weird. does it need sudo to work right? maybe another application is changing it back? [02:35] probably needs root [02:35] I thought the normal (old fashioned) system beep/bell - was basically turned off on ubuntu by default. :) the gnome system beep replaces it. [02:36] doesn't need sudo [02:36] does any know why seem firefox ..get hang/ FReezee [02:36] plats are you using the latest version? [02:36] bobo37773, when I set it manually, it sticks until I log out or restart [02:36] quantumlemur: try using sleep in your script. or putting it in /etc/rc.local or similar [02:36] yes i already update [02:37] can anyone suggest (the best) secure wipe utility for ubuntu 11.10? Looking for right mouse click integration if possible. Please :) [02:37] plats: are you getting an error message about a script stopped working [02:37] did happen on mozila only ,i use chromiium its fine [02:37] Dr_willis, there was some change to the system bell production method... I was never able to get the gnome system beep to work out of the box, and had to edit my pulseaudio config to add in the bell sound [02:37] yes [02:38] quantumlemur, this url seems to imply that pulse audio some how handles it. but ive never had any issues with the bells. I tend to always turn them off. :) [02:38] http://askubuntu.com/questions/49748/how-can-i-set-a-per-terminal-bell-with-xterms [02:38] would removing a dependency also remove the things that depended on it? I intend to purge the dependency and reinstall it. [02:38] plats Ive been seeing that on Windows not so much ubuntu [02:38] always like thats.. i wonder it couse from site i vsiit or from mozila #o [02:38] plats: that may be a bug [02:39] i see [02:39] any sugest ? should i reisntal ? [02:39] Hi guys. [02:39] Dr_willis, I did have to add that pactl line to my pulseaudio config in order to get it to work, but that site makes me wonder if I can put the "xset b 100" directly into the same place [02:39] 99% of all the hits i google for xset b -> are about how to turn off that beep. :) [02:39] I have a big problem.I just update my ubuntu11.10 system.But,when I reboot the system the password box is missing in the login step. [02:40] Stupid question -- installing Ubuntu server for the first time. During the install process I'm getting a "No root file system" error and directions to correct it in the partitioning menu. Only one problem... can't find that menu. :D [02:40] any steps to recover ati drivers after upgrading to kernel 3.2? [02:40] plats: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs [02:40] Anyone meet this problem before? [02:40] plats: I think it may be add-ons [02:40] Ubuntunub, you told it what partion to use for the / partition? [02:41] DonaldShimoda, using a custom kernel? [02:41] yes, one builded from the source ode downloaded from kernel.org + make oldconfig [02:41] Firefox has really dropped in quality lately [02:42] Dr_willis, kernel work fine, but ati drivers dont [02:42] DonaldShimoda, so you ARE using a kernel not from the default repos? [02:42] wew thanks.. [02:43] Dr_willis, yes, in using a kernel not from the default repos, becaus im using 10.04 LTS and tehres not kernel 3.2 for this ubuntui flavor [02:43] DonaldShimoda, you try installing the drivers using the ati whateveritsacallled.run installer from the ati web site? [02:43] Dr_willis: It never asked me yet. On the main install menu, I see "Partion Disks" as an option. Selecting that gives me: Configure iSCSI volumes, Undo changes to partitions, and Finish partitioning and write changes to disk. Last option gives me the "no root" error. [02:43] plats try running with a fresh profile no add ons etc and see how it goes === log is now known as stroopwafel [02:43] Dr_willis, noyt yet, i wonder if theres any polite way to do this [02:43] oke .. thanks by the way [02:43] <== now working.. [02:43] Dr_willis, before try ATI way... [02:43] Ubuntunub, id use a gparted live cd and partion the disks how you want. it almost sounds like its not see ing your hard drives however. [02:43] plats no problem [02:44] DonaldShimoda, once you go the custome kernel route.. its all on your shoulders. [02:44] Dr_willis, ok, but theres a fglrx source package in the repos, theres no way to compile this one? [02:44] DonaldShimoda, thers some scripts/tools out i recall to build your own .deb from those .run installers.. i saw them mentioned on the askubuntu.com site. but i dont use the old releases [02:45] DonaldShimoda, if using such a new kernel. you most likely want to use the newest drivers.. but that may also require the latest X... so.. well.. it may get nasty. [02:45] Dr_willis, im just using LTS because i heat unity,gnome_shell, gnome-fallback... really , i cannot stand them... [02:45] Dr_willis: Looks that way. Doing a "Detect Disks" function states it can't find any and directs me to select a driver. They're just average WD 80gb SATA's. On board RAID sees them fine. Same with Bios. [02:45] DonaldShimoda, theres alwyas lubuntu. [02:45] itzshell estas en linea [02:46] Dr_willis, yes, i must try lubuntu, anyway im waiting a LTS release [02:46] Ubuntunub, the fact they are on a Raid controller may be the whole issue. [02:46] Dr_willis, when is out i will try it [02:46] DonaldShimoda, i think you will have a long wait.. - as far as i know the variants dont do 'lts' releases. like that. [02:46] I dont bother limiting myself to LTS :) [02:46] 11.10 Lubuntu - is very nicely done. [02:46] Dr_willis, 12.04 will be LTS [02:47] DonaldShimoda, but its not a 'Lubuntu LTS' [02:47] Dr_willis, i try the beta it s*cks [02:47] Dr_willis, yes, I haven't been able to find any mentions of the problem, either. The archwiki taught me how to turn the bell on, but nobody seems to know where to put xset that I can find [02:47] Dr_willis, i see [02:47] DonaldShimoda, if you installed the ati driver with dkms, then the fglrx module should have built automatically with new kernel [02:47] Dr_Willis, is there an easy solution to that?.... This system is only a few years old. Nothing particularly odd with it that I know of. Just an onboard Intel raid. [02:47] just installed xubuntu and it so beautiful ^^ [02:47] Ubuntunub, ive learnd to not use raid. :) [02:48] dlentz, seems like dont, i dont undertsand why [02:48] glxgears top wroking [02:48] theres a lot of.. well.. 'strange' raid controllers out there. [02:48] stop working [02:48] Dr_willis, Well that's a bummer. It's a home rack server. Raid was a big part of the equation, lol. [02:48] Ubuntunub, could be theres some special modules or other tweaking for that raid controller. I never use raid any more. [02:48] Ubuntunub, you probably dont want to use an onboard intel raid. those chips dont have much "real" hardware to do the work. the cpu ends up doing most of it [02:48] DonaldShimoda, do you know what version of fglrx you're using? [02:49] night all [02:50] the one comming on 10.04 lts [02:50] it's probably not new enough for kernel 3.2 [02:50] ok i will check the one from ati [02:50] escott, Another stupid question then... Is it possible to setup a software raid in Ubuntu? Really want the raid feature. Not really concerned with the cpu handling it -- just need the redundancy. [02:50] dkms failed to compile it, i see in the logs [02:51] Ubuntunub, absolutely, but you want to use the alternate (text mode) installer to make life easier for you === ellisdee is now known as mayfield [02:52] escott, Can you point me to a walkthrough of that then? I'm a windows-boob, and linux is still the scary new thing at the moment. Just wanting to setup a simple application server, and I'd like a gui as I'm terminal-ignorant. [02:53] hi, if you want gui, you don't want to use ubuntu server [02:53] I read that I could install a gui after the fact. Is that wrong? === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [02:54] Ubuntunub, main thing to remember is that if you are going with anything other than RAID1 you need to have a /boot partition https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [02:54] apt-get install xubuntu-desktop to install the GUI [02:54] I guess so, but never did that [02:54] how do you switch from ext4RAID to ZFS [02:55] Ubuntunub, this is the alternate installer. not the server install. it should install the full gui, but it just has a text mode installer [02:55] do not start with ubuntu server if you're new to linux - save linux from another ignorant review [02:55] escott, Just looking for RAID1. The applications will be running on a small-ish ramdisk, with frequent backups to the raid -- hence why I want redundancy on the hdd side of things. [02:55] can some one verify that 'task scheduler' works/no-worky? i set a task(test) to every 2 min open gedit with a file from the home/document folder, it crashes every time, and the chatter on google is 'it crashes' , the task is too simple to 'crash' , syslog says something about 'granchild process execution error' , there must be a simple answer to it, someone care to reproduce the error and perhaps come up with the fix? , btw, the issue is found [02:55] in gnome as well as kde [02:55] I have a raid_0 with two discs. I need to migrate this to a new raid_0, theres any way to do without reinstall and copy data? [02:55] hi th [02:56] DonaldShimoda, do you have 4 disks? [02:56] hoangvu: hey! [02:56] hey all i have a question [02:56] running xubuntu, ever since the last kernel update [02:56] i haven't been able to adjust my laptop screen brightness [02:56] actually i have 2 on the raid and 2 for nthe new raid [02:56] any ideas? [02:56] yeah [02:57] hi, in order to edit my /var/www/ easily, what I am trying to to is logging as www-data user. what I did is: sudo su www-data. but after this, the login shell does not have any colors, can not use many shell commands like source, ctrl+l shortcut for clear etc.. how can I make www-data login as normal user? thanks. [02:57] DonaldShimoda, assuming you have mdadm just add the two new disks to the array and go up to raid0+1 and come back down afterwards [02:58] How do I use the command line to make an iso from files? [02:58] i have python3.2.2 downloaded. im new to linux terminal, how do i install? [02:58] escott, sounds a little triky [02:58] Josh|KilljoyX23, sudo apt-get install python3 [02:58] thank you [02:58] escott, the data will remain optimized? [02:58] Josh|KilljoyX23, don't download stuff from the web. use apt [02:59] \clear -all [03:00] sorry about that :) [03:00] epic fail [03:00] haha [03:01] How do I make an iso file from folder? [03:01] haha ubuntu n00b trying on irssi for the first time [03:01] superdave321: I use isomaster for all that stuff [03:02] wannabem1nadist: right on. if you need help let us know. [03:02] bobo37773: thanks [03:02] superdave321: welcome [03:03] anyone know of a cli prog that will extract archive of common format and create a dir for the files if the archive doesn't consist of one top level dir? [03:04] scottj: depends on the type of archive. You would probably be better off just writing a function in your .bashrc / .zshrc etc.. [03:04] scott tar unzip unrar ? [03:04] bobo37773: I have one, but it doesn't detect if it needs to create a dir for the contents [03:04] RipOff does not seem to work too well. Any better alternatives to recommend? [03:04] Oer: one prog to rule them all [03:04] scottj: just create a folder in your function. [03:05] bobo37773: no, I don't want a folder if it's not needed [03:05] scottj: hmm. if then statement? [03:06] DonaldShimoda, the mdadm --grow command allows you to specify a --level so you can grow it to level 10 and add the two new devices. then remove the two old devices and mounted it degraded to verify it still works and grow it back to 1 [03:06] escott, i read only raid 1 and uppers can use grow, im worng? [03:06] wrong? [03:06] I thought the open source AMD driver was supposed to be awesome? [03:07] bobo37773: yes, I could figure out a good name for the folder, detect if more than one top level item, etc. my hope was that there was already a solution [03:07] I'd like to remap certain key combinations in certain programs, e.g. from CTRL+foo to ALT+foo, but not switch CTRL and ALT globally. Possible? [03:07] DonaldShimoda, i dont know for sure. i know it can switch personalities, its certainly possible that it wouldn't be able to do some kinds of switches [03:07] scottj, Linux is not for solutions, it's for the challenges [03:08] Lint, I use it for solutions. [03:08] scottj: It should not be that difficult. It would probably be easier if you could look inside the archive first though. Then you would not have to analyze "." [03:08] escott, i undrestand , thanks anyway my friend, but i think this will not work.. [03:08] jadoe, out of curiousity, in what program do you want to remap ctrl to atl? [03:08] scottj: for an all in one solution though that would not work with the function probably [03:09] I know there's a command that gives a common interface to major archive types, what's it's name? [03:10] scottj: you mean like file roller or something? thats not cli though. [03:10] bobo37773: that's not the name. it's a cli one, remember reading about it maybe 5 years ago [03:11] trying to install a ubuntu 10.04 to my laptop. laptop is a fujitsu amilo m7400 with Pentium M 1.4Ghz (130nm). with winXP I have problem with wifi if I enable it. now when I put ubuntu cd in, it loads it, I see ubuntu text and loading animation and it's loading something from the cd also wifi light turn on on the laptop, and when it finishes loading stuff from the cd, the screen goes black and just stays that way. wonder what is wrong w [03:11] ith this [03:11] i don't want to remapt ctrl to alt. only ctrl+c/v/x/t to alt+c/v/x/t, in firefox, text editors, and so on. i've been using OS X a lot over the last years, and I got used to use thumb + foo. [03:11] @quantumlemur [03:11] you can switch one disk at a time at least right? [03:12] hm, could AutoKey do this? [03:12] ex-chat [03:12] how to launch the "Users and Groups" setup except using "windows key" and search? ubuntu 11.10. I can not see it in the System Settings. And I don't like to use the "windows key", it makes my system very slow. thanks. [03:12] !info unp | scottj maybe? [03:12] scottj maybe?: unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0~pre7 (oneiric), package size 13 kB, installed size 124 kB [03:13] lagittaja2, what's your videocard? [03:13] integrated, intel 855 something [03:13] I took my windows key off 2 years ago. I never would have though 11.10 would have made me go searching for it. [03:14] Intel® 855GM/855GME [03:14] zykotick9: maybe, thanks [03:14] Is anybody using an ATI chipset with the open source drivers? I just set up a HTPC box and I'm getting terrible video feedback. [03:14] scottj: atool ? [03:14] bobo37773: yeah [03:14] scottj: bam! [03:15] abox, :) [03:16] bobo37773: i think aunpack might even do the directory thing i was lookin for [03:16] scottj: nice. never heard of it [03:20] my wifi connection drops sometime randomly [03:20] mostly in evening time [03:20] lagittaja2, get it working ? :) [03:20] varun06: try setting a static ip address for yourself on your router [03:21] blargh, threw the ubuntu disk away and now with lubuntu, apparently a linux distro requires a buttload of gpu power..... [03:21] lagittaja2, for the bootup problem. Try booting with wireless OFF and with acpi=off [03:22] lagittaja2, here it explains how to do it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [03:22] Any chances for appmenu only if window is maximized in ubuntu 12.04? [03:23] hateb: reask in #ubuntu+1 [03:23] hi all [03:23] Dandare, I did'nt even get that far, it only showed the first ubuntu text with big letters and dots as a loading animation, after it finished that when it was supposed to give the language selection screen I think it instead remained black screen [03:24] lagittaja2: have you tried nomodeset? It's not typically required for intel, but might be worth a shot? [03:24] and lubuntu works just fine apparently. thanks anyway. going to continue the installation [03:24] !nomodeset | lagittaja2 [03:24] lagittaja2: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

I'm confused. [03:27] xubuntu is the best one. It includes the XFCE graphical environment [03:27] L in lubuntu apparently is light === LargePrime is now known as Guest63569 [03:27] abox: they all have different UIs [03:27] L is LXDE [03:28] bellman is right [03:28] yea, xubuntu is my second favorite after ubuntu [03:28] kubuntu kde [03:30] oh, that's kinda cool. I'll change my usb drive to lubuntu and see if it runs faster :) and I have room for xubuntu too. I have to find my windows key :( [03:30] bellman: and what does the L in LXDE stand for? Light X Desktop Environment [03:30] kubuntu now makes me think of my old CDE days on solaris.. hrrm.

[03:34] ztag100: forgot. panel on top / dock on bottom. be good [03:34] curahack: you could try "lsb_release -a" [03:35] I never really used a dock before, but I might try it out for sometime [03:35] howcome konversation (a KDE app) doesn't have a little glowing dot on its Unity dock icon when it's open?

[03:36] I normally just use a panel [03:36] I'm using xubuntu right now [03:37] don't tell me nobody uses KDE apps under Unity [03:37] cfhowlett: that page gives me a link to the homepage which doesnt work anymore :( [03:37] I might try a fully mac like layout [03:38] i may have to reboot to windows to get it [03:38] I need buttons for both sides of my screen. I'm a dock junkie. [03:40] run windows in a vm so you can make a snap-shot to revert to after you get on the Internet with it. ok win7 locked down is just stealing ubuntu's ideas but a step in the right direction? [03:41] hey i have a question [03:41] ok [03:41] abox: yeah my vms are allowed to see the net [03:41] i dual booted ubuntu to my windows pc, originally, and i alloted 14GB of space [03:41] abox: not allowed* [03:41] how can i allocate more space to it? [03:41] i've been called paranoid before (: not sure why, nothing I say is worth keeping. It's a challenge then [03:42] haha [03:42] blsh0p, gpartd live cd is really nice for that [03:42] blsh0p, is it a wubi install? [03:42] i just downloaded gpartd from ubuntu software center [03:42] yeah its wubi installed [03:42] wubi runs in windows correct? [03:42] abox: yes [03:42] i think [03:42] idk [03:42] You use wubi from windows [03:43] blsh0p, I'm not sure you can make it bigger, not sure it is justa file in windows not a partition. [03:43] Hi there. I have this weird behaviour under the internet programs like firefox and chromium. When hitting control key they get me to the home page [03:43] not sure really* [03:43] It's just a file, not a partition [03:43] I have no idea how wubi works. I run things the other way around [03:43] Not highly recommended [03:43] can i add more space? [03:43] Does anyone here know the reason for this behaviour. N.B.: I have xubuntu 11.04 [03:44] but gpartd should know, it's well known so it must me decent I'd think. It's never failed. [03:44] bish0p: wubi doesn't partition, it just makes a file on your computer [03:44] it is nto fast [03:44] blsh0p, you can transfer it to a partition and do what you want, the developer does not suggest long term use as well. [03:44] and isn't recomended [03:44] blsh0p: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1625371 [03:44] i didnt think i was going to be using it that much [03:44] but i loved it [03:44] bush0p: Then burn a CD, and install ubuntu [03:44] blsh0p: then get rid of wubi and do a real dual boot [03:45] ztag100: bobo37773 +1 for both [03:45] I find myself in a bit of a predicament [03:45] Brewster: the anticipation is killing us [03:45] Audio HDMI output is not working for me, however video is.

[03:47] i would rather dual boot, though [03:47] if i get rid of wubi will i lose all my data? [03:47] I want my data but I can't simply put the harddrive in another computer [03:47] blsh0p, in ubuntu, yes [03:47] how would i transfer everything from my ubuntu OS [03:47] your windows data will be fine though [03:47] what should I do? [03:47] i dont want to lose all my stuff, though [03:47] blsh0p: just backup what you want to [03:48] Brewster: is it encrypted? why cant you access it? [03:48] digitard pavucontrol allows you to set volume for each sound app. Might want to check your settings. [03:48] its going to be a sad day in the blsh0p household......

[03:50] blsh0p: Why don't you just backup your data to a flashdrive? [03:50] i'll bbl [03:50] blsh0p, you can transfer that wubi to a partition. [03:50] blsh0p: then use an ubuntu CD to setup a dualboot? [03:50] Your windows partition will be just fine [03:50] i think im going to get ubuntu onto a flashdrive [03:50] Why? [03:50] the new one, precise just came out, right? [03:50] blsh0p, it is then a standard install. [03:50] i can use that === stroopwafel is now known as log [03:50] blsh0p slow but would work [03:51] blsh0p: even worse then wubi.

[03:51] oh, damn [03:51] blsh0p install 10.04 and then distro upgrade to 12.04 (10.04 is long term support version) [03:52] ill have to [03:52] 12.04? When did this happen? [03:52] I thought it was still alpha? [03:52] i should have done a real dual boot in the first place [03:52] wubi was a bad idea [03:52] blsh0p: What's the big problem? [03:53] blsh0p: It sounds like u installed wubi, to test it out [03:53] blsh0p per the author, wubi is not a long term solution - more of a test-bed [03:53] blsh0p: why? what are you afraid of losing? installs? config files? ubuntu is a lot more portable / easy to back up and restore then you may think. [03:53] blshop: Liked what you saw, and now you want to use ubuntu more [03:53] is what I'm saying wrong? [03:53] no [03:53] not at all [03:54] blsh0p, would you like the link for transferring the wubi to a partition, making it a standard dual boot?

I mean as in subwoofer/lfe channel routing for 2 channel audio also known as 2.0 to 2.1 channel mixing [04:05] Is there any way to set the GTK theme without the use of the theme selector? I don't run gnome but I want a different theme for all of my GTK apps [04:06] Zopiac: yes, use ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini [04:06] jrib: Ah, thank you very much [04:07] Zopiac: there are also several alternative theme selectors (though I'm not sure they've been updated to also touch gtk-3.0 settings) [04:07] I will look [04:07] I've used virtualbox many time, I'll just stick with it, thanks [04:08] jrib: BTW I don't have either of those files. Looking for a theme selector though [04:08] Jake_J: no idea sorry. not much of an audiophile [04:08] Zopiac: yes, you create the files [04:08] bs: look here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10825057&postcount=2 [04:08] jrib: Does it just point to the theme file you want it to use?

[04:11] GatorAlli: if you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf you could try moving that [04:11] FRSH ask away [04:12] member:zykotick9: should I replace that with the default? [04:12] wasabi, unity has a 2d logout and choose it. [04:12] GatorAlli: if you move it, then Xorg will try to autoconfigure on restart [04:12] k [04:12] Alright, Well I am running Windows 7 and am trying to install linux on a separate drive. It gets through everything downloads the ubuntu .rar.xz and will be stuck at the extracting phase for hours and never progress. Any suggestions? [04:13] ubuntu.rar - love where this is going [04:13] FRSH you're installing ubuntu? [04:13] Yes [04:13] zykotick9, lol me to. :) [04:13] FRSH while running windows? [04:13] FRSH: what "rar" is this you are using? there should not be a rar, its an ISO. [04:14] I mean I used the windows installer [04:14] wubi? [04:14] And in the first phase of installation it says download ubuntu.rar.xz [04:14] I have a Netgear N150, I am trying to get it to work on my Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx install. Any help would be great. [04:14] FRSH please post the url to the download page... [04:14] Alright [04:15] nobody can answer my newbie/simple question? just 'sudo su www-data' login as www-data in a terminal. how can I make this login have colors, can do ctrl+l shortcut etc... thanks. [04:15] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer [04:15] zykotick9: hmm, it says its operating on a read-only filesystem [04:15] sgo11: don't use "sudo su" :/ [04:15] Maybe it was an ISO [04:15] but anyways it is stuck on extracting [04:16] GatorAlli: well, that's a sparate issue for sure. Sorry, I can't help - good luck. [04:16] jrib, .... if I don't use it, how can I edit /var/www directory easily? so far, I am doing sudo -u www-data with every vim commands etc... it's too much work. [04:16] FRSH: I would recommend doing a normal install rather than using Wubi. [04:16] FRSH you don't extract an iso... are you working from a set of instructions? [04:16] sgo11: do it as your user and setup sane permissions on the /var/www directory? [04:17] Jordan, If I were to do a regular install how would I set it to not overwrite my windows install [04:17] Since I am going to be running this off a 64GB permenant flash drive [04:17] FRSH quite easy actually... you use an ubuntu tool to make space and then install [04:17] If I press show desktop, all windows get minimized. Then If I maximize one window and press show desktop again, all windows are restored. I expect that one window thats open to minimize and the ones that are already minimized to stay minimized. Is there a way to get this behavior? [04:18] jrib, /var/www has to be accessible by www-data. somebody suggests to add user to www-data group and then make group accessible. I just don't like that solution. I want to edit everything in www-data user. Thus, sudo su www-data is the only solution I can find. [04:18] Ahh and it will not override my windows boot manager and windows install [04:18] FRSH basic ubuntu can install in about 3 gigs - add a bit more room for ubuntu data and you should still have a sizeable portion for your windows. [04:18] Alright [04:18] thank you very much [04:18] I will be back on the IRC shortly after I finish my install [04:18] FRSH ubuntu will chain the bootloader. YOu'll have a boot choice of windows / ubuntu [04:19] Anyone help me with installing Netgear N150 in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid [04:19] sgo11: I'd suggest creating a group www-editors.... I think this is the best approach and what I would do. If you want to ignore my advice: the answer to your original question is probably: 1) use sudo -i -u www-data instead of "sudo su" and 2) make sure www-data's login shell is set to bash (not sh; not dash) [04:19] ok [04:19] thats fine [04:20] FRSH OR... [04:20] yes [04:20] FRSH if you just want to test ubuntu, install it to a usb and boot that or install virtualbox in windows and install it there [04:20] alright [04:20] jeff http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/netgear-n150-drivers-912614/ [04:20] I think ill just go on with a full install [04:21] thank you guys so much [04:21] jrib, thanks a lot. I run bash under www-data login. it looks much better!!! [04:21] FRSH dual boot you mean? [04:21] yeah [04:21] is there a offtopic channel? [04:21] sgo11: D: [04:21] FRSH wait 1... [04:21] jrib, btw, why sudo -i -u www-data instead of sudo su www-data ? I don't see any difference. [04:21] binni, #ubuntu-offtopic [04:21] cfhow [04:21] ill be back in 10 [04:21] FRSH https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [04:21] urfr332gO, thanks! [04:21] brother fell off roof [04:21] thanks [04:22] binni #ubuntu-offtopic [04:22] binni, no problem. :) [04:22] sgo11: for one, you use sudo's built-in switch instead of calling su and it also sanitizes the environment (like su - would) [04:22] some budy can help me? [04:22] mrguser ask away [04:22] almoxarife: thanks for the link, that solution totally worked [04:22] How i can make my common cell no. to private?? [04:23] How i can make my common cell no. to private?? [04:23] mrguser: is that a ubuntu thing? [04:23] Is there an xubuntu chat? [04:23] jrib, ok. got it. i think I will use this way (login as www-data and then bash it). thanks. [04:23] thecandystore: what? like compared to ubuntu? [04:23] I'd guess #xubuntu [04:23] thecandystore sparsley attended ... #xubuntu [04:23] Well because my instal is 20gb... That's extreme [04:24] thecandystore, #xubuntu which is support and a offtopic #xubuntu-offtopic [04:24] any idea plzzz [04:24] thecandystore xubuntu or lubuntu are both lightweight distros, but no way a standard ubuntu install is 20 g [04:24] sgo11: well you should probably just change www-data's login shell in that case [04:24] mrguser: what are you talking about? [04:24] mrguser are you talking about a cell phone phone number? [04:24] Out of a 120gb harddrive I have 100gb left [04:25] thecandystore this is an ubuntu only hdd? [04:25] Yep. Fresh format [04:25] i want to make my number private [04:25] thecandystore, should be about 3 gigs at the most on install. [04:25] The show desktop behavior changes with compiz. Just using metacity --replace and show desktop works as intended. Anyone know how to change compiz show desktop behavior to that of metacity/gnome [04:25] thecandystore run df -h in terminal [04:25] df -h [04:26] tigrang, with what release and desktop, they are different window managers. [04:26] K now what [04:26] jrib, how can I change www-data login shell ? there is even no /home/www-data/ dir. the account even does not have a password. [04:26] :( [04:26] thecandystore copy/paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:27] mrguser you have to explain what you're talking about clearly [04:27] urfr332gO: gnome2 [04:27] + compiz, 10.04 [04:27] I want to make calls without show my cell number [04:28] sgo11: « getent passwd www-data » will show you current info. If you want to change login shell, use « usermod -s SHELL www-data » [04:28] tigrang,with what realease? lucid maverick? [04:28] urfr332gO: 10.04, idk what the codename is [04:28] mrguser this is an ubuntu computer support channel. We don't do cell phone support. [04:29] so tel me cel phn chanel [04:29] tigrang, metacity and compiz are different managers you will have to work with them. [04:29] Good evening folks [04:29] mrguser we have no idea. Suggest you ask your cellphone provider for support. [04:29] bjrohan: hey [04:29] bjrohan greetings [04:30] jrib, thanks a lot. I think you mean "usermod -s $SHELL www-data", right? you didn't put $ sign. [04:30] I have a mess, and I am not sure when it happened. Yesterday I found my wireless router was having issues. I switched all of my computers to connect to the wireless modem, after doing so, I did not check to see if they were still networked [04:31] Today I upgraded my laptop to 12.04 Beta 2. I now notice than I can not access my desktop via file manager [04:31] sgo11: I mean replace "SHELL" with "/bin/bash" or whatever shell you prefer [04:31] Alright he broke his arm. By bye everyone [04:31] any suggestions? I can ping one computer from the other just fine, but they can't connect via file manager [04:31] jrib, ok. $SHELL is fine. it points to /bin/bash. thanks a lot for your help. :) [04:31] sgo11: you can also use chsh www-data (then it gives you a list iirc) [04:31] bjrohan 12.04 is at alpha 2 ... [04:31] sorry alpha 2 [04:32] sgo11: night [04:32] jrib, thanks. :) night.

[05:29] Ubuntunub: its not in the repos anymore [05:29] Ubuntunub: what is the output of: uname -m [05:29] Ubuntunub: to get sun-java you need to get it direct from Oracle, it's been removed from all gnu/linux distros (openjava still exists) [05:29] !java | Ubuntunub [05:29] Ubuntunub: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.

It's available in other distros in the repos, Arch for example. [05:31] ActionParsnip, "unity --replace" seemed to help (the file transfer had already ended) [05:31] Ubuntunub: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/install64bitJava; chmod +x ./install64bitJava; sudo ./install64bitJava [05:31] can somebody guide me to use thinkfan to lower cpu fan speed?

[05:33] ActionParsnip I get this output http://pastebin.com/98hEp08S now suggest what to do plz... [05:33] ActionParsnip: Super super Ubuntu rookie (as in day 1) -- Running just the server terminal right now (though I have installed fluxbox, just not using it unless I have to). Would that command still work? If it makes any difference, this is for a server application and not really specific to a browser. [05:34] doodles: sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntuone-client ubuntuone-client-gnome ubuntuone-control-panel ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [05:34] Ubuntunub: copy the whole command, press CTRL+ALT+T and paste it to the terminal, press ENTER [05:34] Ubuntunub: when asked, you want the java 1.7 in the list (probably option 2) [05:35] lol, alright. Your comment for chromuium threw me. :) [05:35] Ubuntunub: its a terminal command and will work in ANY 64bit Linux distro [05:35] ActionParsnip I run the command till ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk then after removing is complete I run sudo apt-get --purge autoremove? [05:35] ActionParsnip: isn't ubuntuone part of ubuntu-desktop metapackage? if it is, that command is going to remove 75+% of doodles' system. [05:35] can i play all my contents of my exterjnal hard disk to my TV? Please tell me if yes how to connect it via my television [05:35] what? [05:35] can somebody guide me to use thinkfan to lower cpu fan speed? [05:36] zykotick9: metapackages don't uninstall anything if they are removed. I don't believe it removes the metapackage [05:36] is removing ubuntu one dangerous to my system? [05:36] doodles: just verify what it's going to remove, before accepting. I'm confident ActionParsnip knows what he's doing. [05:36] doodles: just read the screen when you do it, you can always press N to stop the uninstall. It will say what wil happen if you proceed and you will ned to ok that as well [05:37] does anybody kndoes anybody know where the network manager package is located [05:37] zykotick9: aww sweet dude [05:37] ariel`: in the repos [05:37] ok I get it [05:37] can i play all my contents saved in my external hard disk to my TV?

I loaded up Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit. Has anyone gotten Eudora OSE to run on it? [05:38] jiltdil: connect the vido card to the tv and select the input, you may need to reboot to make it pick it up, depends on the video chip [05:38] can somebody guide me to use thinkfan to lower cpu fan speed? [05:38] ActionParsnip, Thanks [05:39] http://pastebin.com/XbWges8Y ActionParsnip can you tell what are the * signs for?

[05:40] ActionParsnip: Getting an "Error in server response, closing control connection". Keeps looping with retrying... How do I stop it so I can double check I typed that all in correct? [05:40] doodles, * means the name starting with that i think [05:41] zykotick9: ;). I always pull ubuntuone out, as well as whatever email client, all the vnc junk, firefox and all the games. Then install what I use :) [05:41] nevermind. Just went back to the login. *shrug* [05:41] Ubuntunub: you may need to change the file name, let me get the link.. [05:41] doodles, just like rm * means select all [05:41] ariel`: if you have an ubuntu cd, you can insert it and install the default network manager packages from it: network-manager and network-manager-gnome [05:41] what does that mean ActionParsnip? i am a newbie man tell me about it [05:41] umm ok [05:42] !find elza [05:42] Found: elza [05:42] heh....what is elza?

Not sure if you are still interested in ffmpeg (your question I mean). [05:49] i want to use USB hotplug for my device. in older linux machines there was a directory called hotplug inside /etc. what is the equivalent for it now? [05:49] ActionParsnip: Same error in server response loop. [05:50] bobo37773: well, unless something has changed, i think i already know the answer. no. [05:50] Hey, is there any way I can access webpages from the command-line and do things with them using bash-scripting?

[05:52] cfhowlett, ok , Please tell from which package? [05:52] bobo37773: not ubuntu's default version, the 3rd party PPA versions can. [05:52] jiltdil sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:52] Ubuntunub: grab the file yourself and run tbe commands in the script manually then [05:52] or maybe repos have something [05:52] cfhowlett, ok thanks buddy [05:52] urfr332gO: i want to connect a i2c sniffer to my pc. they have gives rules and other hotplug files. when i connect it.

[05:56] zykotick9: oh okay. gotcha [05:56] Wow. irssi is wierd to use. [05:56] Tbird runs fine...just wanted to use Eudora since I'm a long time user. I figured since Eudora and T-bird were now the same (except for a few things), both should run with no problems. [05:57] ActionPar: I'm used to it and it's layout. [05:58] zizoo: Last time I looked into this I was told to look into perl instead of bash. [06:00] Ten-Eight: sensible, seems like an effort to install copared with the software centre [06:01] ActionPar: it's not bad to install. Just have to put the files in the right place...but you're right, now as easy at the software center. [06:02] Ten-Eight: looks pretty simple tbh :) [06:04] hi is there any software for ubuntu to take online class? i m using ubuntu 10.10 [06:05] learner canonical publishes a non-free course. Better options exist. What do you want to learn? [06:06] learner, in general I use it for general college classes. For ubuntu specific classes I'm not sure, you might check with a local college or online schools in general. [06:06] cfhowlett, i want to conduct a class for my friends online.. is there any software where i can conduct class and interact with them [06:07] learner, IRC would work for that. Unless you want screen broadcasting software? [06:07] learner so many choices... skype, streaming, podcasting, youtube, irc... [06:07] Hi all. I need help with some trouble I run into while trying to install ubuntu. zero experience on linux systems. Anyone can help? [06:08] ndkelly, i need a software where they can see my screen [06:08] novato, You dont need to ask to ask. Just ask your question and if somebody can help they will do! [06:08] learner, How many people per session?

[06:10] As cfhowlett said earlier, Skype is a valid option. [06:10] novato, What's your question? [06:10] Installing ubuntu in a partition on my macbook pro. The process is currently frozen on a error window that I can't seem to get out from (nor force quit) that says that the installer can't unmount a partition (my main mac partition, I think?). [06:11] novato, Which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install? [06:11] learner note: run skype without video unless you have wide bandwith [06:11] newest. 11.04? something like that [06:12] cfhowlett, do skyp hav option to show our screen to others [06:12] novato, You could just hard reboot it (hit the power button) [06:12] learner desktop connection does IIRC [06:12] novato: did you try "ctrl+alt+delete"? [06:13] hey everyone [06:13] I tried to force quit through system monitor [06:13] cfhowlett, sorry i dint get you [06:13] unable to [06:13] guys what repository i need for my ubuntu 11.10 for install lamp ? (apache , mysql and php) [06:13] learner remote desktop view has some desktop sharing if I'm not mistaken [06:14] novato: can you do anything on the livecd, or no? [06:14] Hey everybody, I am trying to manually launch the Gnome volume indicator in a Fluxbox environment, but I can't figure out what the command is, does anyone know where I could start looking for it? I already have gnome-volume-control running, I am just looking for the popup indicator [06:14] !lamp | bambanx [06:14] bambanx: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [06:14] Can anyone point me to a tutorial on mounting a file system on a remote Ubuntu machine on the same network (I am also using a Ubuntu laptop)? [06:14] cfhowlett, ok let me try.. thank you [06:14] i'm using the boot from the cd right now [06:14] learner have fun/be safe [06:15] novato: then unmount all the media you have mounted and try installing it. [06:16] how does one mount a remote filesystem on the same network? [06:16] bjrohan: using samba or nfs [06:17] I have samba installed, but can't find the filesystem to know where to mount it [06:17] only thing i might unmount here is the partition where my mac instalation is operating. I can't actually do it, it gives me the following error message: daemon is inhibited [06:18] novato: hum... can you reboot (terminal or GUI) [06:19] Will do. any clue on how to avoid that same error when i try installing again? [06:21] Hello, I'm trying to get my wifi usb stick (wusb600n v2) to work and supposedly it is supported in the kernel I'm using (3.2.0-16-generic). Does this mean that it should have theoretically been detected and working out of the box? [06:21] novato: choose to install ubuntu from the boot menu, and if u happen to be in the Livecd, don't mount anything. [06:21] Hiroolo, you running precise? [06:22] bjrohan: samba is the server service, you don't need it if you are connecting to samba shares [06:22] thanks! off to reboot and try again. [06:23] What is the binary that gives you alt+f2 functionality? [06:23] urfr332gO: No, I'm running 11.10 . But I grabbed a newer kernel off a ppa b/c I couldn't get my wifi USB stick to work and it is documented to work in these newer ones [06:23] novato: ok, let us know how it went. [06:23] Hiroolo: the 3.2 kernel is in Precise, not supported here but in #ubuntu+1 if you are using Oneiric with the 3.2 kernel then it is supported in neither as the kernel is not intended for your release [06:23] My machine is booting without alt+f2 or gnome-panel. Doing some debugging to see what it is. Gnome2 + 11.04 [06:23] oh ok [06:23] hello, does anyone know what the running process for the volume popup indicator is? [06:24] Hiroolo: I suggest you wait til april, then install precise as it uses taht kernel and you will be fully supported [06:25] Hiroolo: as usb wifi is so insanely cheap, you could buy a new one which works with the current kernel [06:26] I know this is slightly off topic, but anyone have experience with ltsp? [06:26] i have an external hard dsick when iwas trying to format using FAT32 it shows me like "Error formatting volume Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing FAT mkfs.vfat 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)" is there any soulution? [06:28] Hiroolo: does it show up in lsusb? [06:29] ActionParsnip: Yes, thats always an option, but its frustrating since it used to work before and then as things get upgraded it breaks. [06:29] bobo37774: yes it does [06:30] Hiroolo: you said that you read it was supported. Did you note the module it needed? [06:30] i am trying to forward all of my https traffic from an imac to my ubuntu box: [06:30] imac$ ssh -L 10443:127.0.0.1:443 login@ubuntubox.com [06:30] eg: imac -> sketchy network ->ubuntubox -> interwebs [06:30] I appear to be opening a tunnel with no problem, [06:30] however, on 'ubuntubox' I receive this error: [06:30] channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused [06:30] ulugbek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:30] [It appears only on 'ubuntubox' when i try to acces an https page on 'imac'] [06:30] oops sorry about that folks [06:31] i have an external hard dsick when iwas trying to format using FAT32 it shows me like "Error formatting volume Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mkfs.vfat: failed whilst writing FAT mkfs.vfat 3.0.9 (31 Jan 2010)" is there any soulution? [06:31] Greetings! So; I am attempting to install lightspark on my amd64 11.10 system. `apt-get install lightspark browser-plugin-lightspark` goes fine; but then neither Firefox nor Chromium show the plugin. [06:32] Are there additional steps needed? [06:32] bobo37774: yes, its documented to support ralink module rt3572. Although as actionsnip said, the problem might be that I'm using a kernel (3.2.0-16-generic) that isn't officially supported by 11.10 yet [06:32] rahwa: What exact command were you using? [06:32] New user here :D is it pretty easy to work with XFCE and change windows managers? Also, are windows managers the same as windows 7 themes? [06:33] supermun quite easy to change xfce themes [06:33] 2nd question - no [06:33] Hiroolo: If your card is supprted by the kernel then why do you need support by ubuntu? Because of the networkmanager version? I do not understand why that would matter. Maybe I am missing something [06:33] Would you please tell me where to get themes [06:34] supermun xfce is a desktop environment - a bit more substantial than a win7 theme [06:34] Managers* [06:34] Yes sorry :P [06:36] bobo37774: well, for some reason I can't understand it just doesn't get detected by the system. if I type in iwconfig or ifconfig all i get is eth0 and lo. It appears in lsusb though and I loaded the rt2x00usb module into the kernel without any problems [06:37] Logos01: just by making right click and format [06:37] i have to allow another user to read, write and exe in a directory in my user directory shouldnt this work? [06:37] lrwxrwxrwx 1 steve developers 27 Feb 23 00:40 dev -> /home/konark/subdomains/dev [06:37] Hiroolo: Is it rt2x00usb or is it rt3572? Either way did you look in "lsmod" to make sure it was loaded? Also, you did run "ifconfig -a" to make sure it wasn't down or anything rightt? [06:38] I know this is slightly off topic, but anyone have experience with ltsp? [06:38] Is there a way to setup an iPhone to sync with Ubuntu? [06:38] trying to upgrade alsa-utils to the latest version has given me trouble. Now there's unmet dependencies I can't seem to satisfy. Please see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/853632/ [06:38] Short of using SSH. [06:38] rahwa: Try opening up a shell and executing "sudo nautilus ." -- then, in the new window that shows up, try running it again. [06:39] rahwa: This will open up your file browser (nautilus) as the 'root' user, which has permissions to execute formatting. [06:39] cfhowlett: where may I get XFCE? [06:39] Hiroolo: Are you sure that your card does not need firware? [06:39] Hiroolo: firmware* [06:39] supermun what ubuntu do you have right now? [06:39] Just installed 11.10 I believe the most current [06:40] supermun see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xfce [06:40] cfhowlett: 64 bit [06:40] cfhowlett: Thank you [06:40] supermun have fun/be safe [06:40] supermun: if you just want to add xfce install the xfce4 package [06:40] cfhowlett: Are they dangerous? [06:40] Hiroolo: Yeah I think you may need firmware. [06:41] zykotick9: I just don't like the default desktop and I was told I would have many choices with XFCE [06:41] supermun ? all this adds is an additional desktop environment. All your apps remain the same. NOTE: xubuntu is a fully developed flavor of ubuntu with XFCE integration. [06:42] So I should have installed that instead lol [06:42] O gosh [06:42] supermun also see the kubuntu-desktop and lubunut-desktop options [06:42] Hiroolo: Maybe something like this --> http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/firmware-ralink/download It is a debian package though. [06:42] supermun not necessarily - everyone I know tweaks their ubuntu the way they like it... [06:43] cfhowlett: But will XFCE work better un xubuntu. [06:43] supermun yes. [06:43] supermun xubuntu and lubuntu are "light" distros [06:43] bobo37774: it does require firmware, but I believe I already have it on the system "rt2870.bin" [06:43] supermun they're designed for older, slower, lower spec machines. [06:44] how is a noob supposed to do things like "find $DIR ! -writable -exec chmod u+w {} \;" when file move operations fail due to perms errors on a directory tree? [06:44] Logos01: then after that when iam trying to do that it apears popup but i coudnt find my drive [06:44] cfhowlett: is xubuntu as easy as ubuntu? I am only downloading it if it makes XFCE easier but I don't lose the easy functioning of Ubuntu [06:44] cfhowlett: My machine is not old or slow [06:44] supermun: you can have both, you just choose the desktop at logon [06:44] ActionParsnip: And no performance loss? [06:44] supermun I'd say it's easier as it's more familiar to windows refugees...and as Action Parsnip pointed out, you can install multiple DE's and choose at boot. [06:45] supermun: if you install xfce4 you will get a minimal xfce desktop [06:45] Hiroolo: Are you sure there might not be liscencing reasons not to include it upstream. I read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralink#Linux [06:45] bobo37774: the way I understand it, the rt2x00 project is a FOSS project designed to create a set of drivers that will accomodate all ralink cards. They have been adopted into the mainline kernel and as of 3.1+ are supposed to support cards requiring rt3572 [06:45] supermun: why would there be, it just uses more drive space to hold the apps, both desktops don't run at the same time [06:46] ActionParsnip: I want all ubuntu features minus the side bar thing hence why I want XFCE but I don't want to lose anything else really. Will xubuntu satisfy that requirement? [06:46] supermun yes. see http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44/ [06:47] supermun: that's fine, you can run your gnome apps in xfce without issue. xfce is a great relpacement [06:47] supermun: what are you expecting to lose exactly? [06:47] Hiroolo: I wish I had the same card so I could troubleshoot more. I would say give it a go. What do you have to lose? 50 kb disk space? But you may be right. I would like to see the link you have that says it is supported completely. [06:48] I don't know lol I just installed ubuntu and I don't like the desktop so I was told XFCE was for me. But now I hear maybe just installing xubuntu is prob what I should have done haha. I am not concerned with performance I just don't like the desktop [06:48] So maybe I should keepmubuntu ? [06:49] I just feel like I installed and wasted time [06:49] Logos01: even idon't have permition to format it is locked [06:49] I don't know what I would lose, im new [06:49] supermun their are many DE's available. Try 'em all - they're free. [06:49] Minecraft is finally running! Thanks ActionParsnip for all the earlier help. :) Now to get started on learning how to setup that ramdisk. And learn how to make a text file, heh. :D [06:50] bobo37774: one sec I will send, thanks for all your interest so far.. part of the problem was that until the last few days, I really didn't understand how any kernel/wireless/module stuff worked at all [06:50] This is what confuses me. You. Said that xubuntu has a better XFCE experience. How much worse is the ubuntu XFCE? [06:50] supermun for xubuntu in your terminal type sudo apt-get install xfce4 [06:50] supermun not better or worse - differnt [06:50] Ty [06:51] Hiroolo: A lot of drivers are like that. Firmware + kernel driver I mean. [06:51] i have a file : linuxqq_v1.0.2_i386.tar.gz, but it cannot be opened in ubuntu 10.11, what should i do ? [06:51] cfhowlett: Installing === Guest46238 is now known as eddie [06:51] Combro_Asin: What are you trying to do? Install a package from source? What you have is an archive much like a rar or zip file [06:52] supermun then logout. @ login you should see a selection bar for the DE. (might have to reboot...) === eddie is now known as Guest17265 [06:52] cfhowlett: K [06:52] supermun EZ reading... http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/214930/6_alternative_ubuntu_desktops_worth_trying.html [06:52] bobo37774: http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Kernel-Log-Coming-in-3-1-Part-1-Networking-1323463.html < just search 3572 [06:52] cfhowlett: Ill reboot to be safe, what wil my desktop be?

[06:53] cfhowlett: On my tablet ill stay :D [06:54] bobo37774: its definately possible that it all works, but that I'm doing something wrong with the implementation [06:54] cfhowlett: Okay I think its done the black screen stopped. Ill reboot [06:54] Combro_Asin: What is it? The program I mean. Did you search the software center first? [06:55] cfhowlett, before I tell the details, I wonder how to direct comments in this chat room to specific users. Is it only by typing the other user's name before my comment? [06:55] boson12 if your chat software supports it, type the first few letters then tabcomplete... [06:55] cfhowlett, It works. Thanks! [06:56] boson12 for private msg /msg towhomitmayconcer [06:56] supermun: you won't lose anything, don't worry [06:56] Hiroolo: I dont see what you could be doing wrong. Run "ifconfig -a" and "rfkill list" if you do not see your wifi card anywhere it may not be working correctly. Did you have to load the module manually or was it autoloaded? [06:56] bobo37774, its QQ for linux, i found it in QQ link. I didn't search it in software center [06:56] umm, why does the ubuntu version of firefox prevent me from dragging tabs around??? [06:56] mosno: what version is it? [06:56] cfhowlett seems to have booted normally I same desktop. What now? [06:56] ActionParsnip, 10.0.2 [06:56] ActionParsnip, x86 [06:56] Combro_Asin: Search in the software center first. If it is not there and you want help installing it from source after that I will help you. [06:56] supermun did you login? [06:57] cfhowlett: Set to not ask me [06:57] cfhowlett, my Ubuntu Software Centre searches indefinitely for softwares without ever retrieving any software. What may be happening? [06:57] supermun: log off, then click the cog in the login screen and select xfce there [06:57] supermun OK we.. [06:57] bobo37774, ok [06:57] what command will return with details about my laptops graphics card? [06:57] cfhowlett: Whoops lol [06:57] Ill tel it to ask me [06:57] ActionParsnip thanks. Keep forgetting I'm the only still on 10.04 LOL. [06:57] ActionParsnip, i guess i'll try disabling that Ubuntu Firefox Modifications add-on, then? [06:57] K logoff [06:57] TheDexter1111: "lspci | grep -i vga" will give the model [06:58] Moment [06:58] zykotick9: cheers [06:58] hmm, yep, that did it [06:58] XFCE session? [06:58] * mosno sighs [06:58] supermun yep [06:58] * mosno wonders what he's now broken by disabling that add-on [06:58] Here we go ! [06:58] cfhowlett, any idea how to solve this issue? [06:59] cfhowlett: many are still on lucid [06:59] boson12 thinking... gotta say nothing leaps to mind [06:59] bobo37774: ifconfig -a just showed eth0 and lo . Not sure what `rfkill list` does but that just executed with no output msg. I had to load the module manually. One thing I'm not sure is if I'm supposed to load the module rt2x00usb or rt2800usb, right now I have both. The other thing I noticed was that the module "usbcore" does not show up on my lsmod. THis is something I saw on other people's lsmod outputs when they posted them in sim [06:59] Combro_Asin: Did you get it from http://im.qq.com/qq/linux/ ? [07:00] cfhowlett, thanks though [07:00] boson12 can you retrieve packages via apt-get? [07:00] I created a user 'steve' with ssh access...i need to give him access to a directory owned by konark. So I created a group assigned them both to it and chowned it to the group developers. it seems to be having no effect. What am i doing wrong? [07:00] cfhowlett: Okay yes I like it to an extent. I wish icons were much smaller. Can I change that? Task bar also to big. Can I change that? [07:00] lrwxrwxrwx 1 steve developers 27 Feb 23 00:40 dev -> /home/jon/subdomains/dev [07:00] drwxr-xr-x 8 jon developers 4096 Feb 23 01:06 dev/ [07:00] drwxr-xr-x 8 steve developers 4096 Feb 23 01:06 dev/ [07:00] brerrabbit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:00] brerrabbit: does the group have the appropriate access? [07:01] supermun I don't have that DE up, but I believe there's a "settings" tab on the menu bar which leads to all kinds of goodies. [07:01] K Ty [07:01] Ill tinker [07:01] ActionParsnip: i certainly believe so: [07:01] brerrabbit: drwxr-xr-x 8 steve developers 4096 Feb 23 01:06 dev/ [07:01] boson12 can you retrieve packages via apt-get? [07:01] Ty as well action [07:01] Hiroolo: Try the deb with the firmware. If it doesn't work just uninstall it. At least rule that out as a possibility. [07:01] supermun: np ;) [07:01] supermun: use tab to complete nicks [07:02] brerrabbit: are you running into a write issue now? [07:02] Hiroolo: Yeah try the link I sent you or search for firmware. I am just guessing but I am sure thats where I would start. [07:03] ActionParsnip: Not sure what you mean. I am new to irc to and I am using tablet irc app [07:03] bobo37774: ok trying right now, whats the relationship/difference between firmware and kernel modules? I don't really understand how they work in context [07:03] Combro_Asin support for qq is already built into gwibber === AndrewX192_ is now known as AndrewX192 [07:03] zykotick9: neither read, write nor access. [07:04] ActionParsnip: Ha... well isn't the tab thing nifty. :) btw, thanks again for the help. Server is running. Not yet configured -- but running. Huge step for me. Tomorrow I get to go elbows-deep again and see if I can get it running "right". Way too late now -- Have a good night! [07:04] this says HE owns the directory: drwxr-xr-x 8 steve developers 4096 Feb 23 01:06 dev/ [07:04] thankfully i can read the source... apparently i've broken the plugin finder service, and possibly printing and dictionaries [07:04] he should have access === david is now known as Guest42747 [07:06] bobo37774, there is no such aplication in software center === Guest42747 is now known as dRounse [07:07] Hiroolo: Its not just that its firmware. Its that part of the firmware may be closed source. Much like installing the closed source nvidia driver after you install. To answer your question though drivers are software written on your hard drive while firmware is usually written on a chip in hardware. You may want to look into it further but that is my understanding. [07:07] is there anyway to have the wireless router hooked iinto the switch and get wifi [07:07] Hi ALL!!! [07:07] bobo37774: http://pastebin.com/DLGZk3eV < this was the output... basically i believed it error'd because I already had the correct firmware on my system [07:07] I have question? [07:07] Please Help! [07:07] dRounse: Yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [07:08] Hiroolo: Hmm perhaps you were right. [07:08] And me? [07:08] ActionParsnip: Oh if you think I sm typing out names I am not. The app finishes it for me after two letters [07:08] !ask | Gaflana [07:08] Combro_Asin: Remember when you got the tar.gz file? Was there also a .deb file there? [07:08] Gaflana: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [07:08] i have a browser problem in lubuntu 11.10.. its so painfully slow :( [07:08] ok [07:09] bobo37774, yes its there [07:09] ask! me [07:09] HELP PLEASE!!! [07:09] Gaflana: Are you on fire? [07:09] well i want my modem-->switch-->router, but whenever i do that i get no wifi [07:09] Combro_Asin: Get the .deb instead. It should install just by double clicking it. No need to build from source. [07:10] only my ass [07:10] Gaflana whats your question [07:10] What is ubuntu 2d [07:10] question... [07:10] .

[07:10] guys, i just installed ubuntu at a 250gb hd, and windows7 at another 250gb hd. In order i can switch boot i have to f8 at bios screen and select the Device. Is there a way i could make a select screen like grub for this exempla? [07:10] Lol [07:10] Gaflana well it might break your OS [07:10] What is ubuntu 2d? [07:11] Gaflana, are you Denis Popov by a chance? [07:11] supermun: you mean unity2d i think [07:11] Combro_Asin: Okay. Please read up on archives in linux (notably tar) and checkinstall for future reference if you are going to start building software from source constantly. [07:11] supermun ubuntu unity DE without quite as much pretty shiny stuff. [07:11] supermun its a less graphically intense version of unity [07:11] chown_, run sudo update-grub in ubuntu it should show in the grub menu [07:11] My own OS based on Ubuntu [07:11] Good :D [07:11] Gaflana it still might break it [07:11] lint no [07:12] Do I need drivers for my Logitech webcam or just plug it in? [07:12] supermun, plug it in and find out [07:12] supermun try it. [07:12] Trying [07:12] So just go to website I chat om [07:12] N normally? [07:12] chown_, the ubuntu HD if first to be read in the bios should just show the grub menu at powering on. [07:12] dRounse, how?

[07:14] hm... [07:14] urfr332gO: yeah the ubuntu is the way to go at bios, im gonna get this sudo update now and see what happens... tyvm man [07:14] Gaflana im sure Zorin is not binary compatible with Ubuntu, much like Debian and Mint arent necessarily binary compatible [07:14] But other developers use it [07:14] chown_, no problem. [07:14] diverdude apt-cache policy jre [07:14] Gaflana: Your question is can you create your own Ubuntu based distro? [07:15] In bodhiLinux i too can use it [07:15] and all normal work [07:15] e17 [07:15] Gaflana those are pretty much just customized Ubuntu distros, bodhi is ubuntu with a diff DE [07:15] bobo, i do it now === tristan319 is now known as appletproblem [07:16] i have a question about the [sound applet?] the lil speaker icon at the top right of my screen.. i formatted my drive, installed ubuntu 11.10, updated it and added gnome3.. now the audio player controls are gone.. how can i get them back.. i liked how it was..

Will I be able to install Ubuntu on these? Also these options will provide similar performance matching sata hdd? Thanks!! [07:17] urfr332gO: man u r awesume, it did work. Ty so much for helping me. It will save me a lot of time. I do apreciate ur help. I hope i can get confortable with linux, and can be able to put windows behind [07:17] diverdude ask again, I'm not 100% behind that command...

[07:21] Can I ask if I can ask to ask to ask to ask a question?

[07:22] Suggestions / guidance as to what my next card should be so it works with my box? [07:22] so, i can't seem to find my Wifi spot? although i can see other spots and i'm connected to this one pub's wifi nearby (i had a drink there, so its' fair :P) [07:22] Any evidence a Windows program running in Wine can transfer the virus to Linux? Linus Trovalds [07:22] my android phone connects it [07:22] Ok, now i have a ubuntu running at a 250 gb hd, and i have a 2tb hd that i wish to share under my networt, i also wish i could manage logins like active directory in windows. And this 2tb hd should be at a file system type that windows mac and linux could read and write. what should i search for it? i just need something to search for. [07:22] i set it up yesterday, it's WPA2 (AES) [07:22] Batshua see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards [07:23] Gaflana http://packages.enlightenment.org/ [07:23] bobo37774, it doesn't work, i'll download it again [07:23] been using Ubuntu for years, and Evolution mail client since my Debian days years before.. since i upgraded to the latest Ubuntu release i have a strange issue with evolution: while it works perfectly in every way, whenever i send an email to one of my suppliers (sales@astonparts.co.uk) it crashes.. even if i send a blank email.. literally, the moment i click send, it just shuts down [07:23] anybody had seen this issues? [07:23] dRounse, i want my own OS and not Ubuntu-e-17 [07:23] cfhowlett: THANK YOU! [07:23] Batshua have fun/be safe [07:23] Combro_Asin Can you be more specific? [07:23] cfhowlett: Working after I launched as new process. Thank you [07:23] Gaflana i dont understand your question, its too confusing [07:23] kebun43, there is no virus on the web that will run in linux. [07:24] urfr332gO i wouldnt say there are none [07:24] cfhowlett: <3 (usually someone sending me to a website is offensive/annoying, but this was EXACTLY RIGHT and actually helpful. You win two karma points) [07:24] Batshua * I blushes* [07:24] dRounse, there are not rootkits yse, virus no. [07:25] bobo37774, it said, cannot open it, then i searched a suitable aplication online , there is none. so maybe i'll try to download QQ again [07:25] Wine can get a virus, there is one that eats up cpu power [07:25] it will stop when you kill the proccess [07:26] Combro_Asin: What operating system are you running? Windows? Mac? Linux? Are you using Ubuntu? If so what version? [07:26] cfhowlett: Cam works with that program but not website. Do I Ned to install flash? [07:26] bobo37774, ubuntu 11.10 [07:26] dRounse, you can carry a virus and pass it on but none will run in a native linux setup, wine is not a native linux. [07:26] Combro_Asin gwibber has qq integration in the chat secttion. [07:26] supermun probably... [07:27] anyone know anything about new lucid kernels failing at boot, reporting that the filesystem is inconsistent?

[07:27] cfhowlett, itried it , but cant found a list box for QQ [07:27] I see many versions for linux. Which should I choose? [07:28] supermun, are you new to linux? [07:28] dRounse, lol your the king of no actual cause and effect. :) [07:28] Yes [07:28] Combro_Asin: Okay. You must have this qq application? As cfhowlett just said gwibber application has built in support. You should be able to open a .deb and extract a .tar.gz file in Ubuntu though. That is why I asked what operating system you were using because I have become confused by your issues. [07:28] supermun, id use mint or ubuntu [07:28] I am using ubuntu os [07:28] Im asking which flash to use [07:29] Yum, tar giz, rpm and ubuntu 10.4 [07:29] is there a default vnc service at ubuntu? [07:29] supermun: Look in your software center. Search for flash. Is it not there? [07:29] bobo37774, ok [07:29] Lol didn't know hang on [07:30] ufrf332gO i know that its almost impossible to get a virus in linux but i wouldnt tell anyone that its not possible because then they will do random crap and get a virus and then blame linux for sucking, plus its possible to get one from any number of sites if you download [07:30] Appears I have it [07:30] If I cant use my cam on that site I cant use this os :( [07:30] supermun: You have found it or it is installed?

[07:37] was he new to linux tho? [07:37] dRounse, I did not say there wern't any or that it wasn't possible, only that there are no known to be in the wild. [07:37] bobo37774: I have same version.

But anyway I should be able to make it work. Maybe the restart wil do it [07:44] can I have iptables drop all ssh packets unless it's from a specific IP? [07:44] I want to remove auto-hiding of unity global menu. So, I know that there are no available settings to do this.

[07:47] bobo37774: Yes afraid so === CPhoenix_ is now known as CPhoenix [07:47] bobo37774: Its fast though [07:47] diverdude: i guess it always was bad... [07:48] zykotick9: why is it so popular then [07:48] *zykotick9 do you think a bug would be necessary for a forward not working [07:48] diverdude: somethings popularity often has nothing to do with quality... [07:49] zykotick9: what is so bad about it? [07:49] Okay, I just installed ubuntu server (yes, this question belongs here.) and I need to connect it to my wifi network to update the packages. It is a WPA network, and I can't seem to connect. I brought down eth0, and brought up wlan0. I read in a guide I needed to install wpaservices. As I have no connection I got the .deb on a memory stick, but I cant install it since it's dependancies need to be updated as well. [07:49] hearno_: that sounds more like a configuration issue then a bug... but it "could" be a bug. [07:49] supermun: Hmm. Did you try this already? --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1282549 [07:50] diverdude: if you want to use AVI, use AVI - it's up to you [07:50] You know what Shattlorth is a gay? [07:50] zykotick9: im just asking to learn :) Obviously you must have some reason to hate it [07:51] how do I uninstall a specific package, for example say I have two different version of libc-bin [07:51] bobo37774: Non free flash as in I must pay for it? [07:51] I want to do apt-get purge "multiarch-support=2.13-20ubuntu5" "libc-bin=2.13-20ubuntu5" [07:51] diverdude: i don't actually "hate" AVIs, i just think it's an obsolete container at this point [07:51] but it just spats some nonsense message to me [07:52] libc6: Depends: libc-bin (= 2.10.1-0ubuntu15) but it is not going to be installed [07:52] zykotick9: i see. but you said it was never good [07:52] supermun: What? Hahaha no allow scripts on the macromedia page from noscript and you will see the control panel [07:52] K [07:52] orbisvicis: Just run "apt-get autoremove" to get rid of any unneeded packages. [07:52] diverdude: if you want a better answer, see what the Handbrake folk say about AVI and why they dropped it. [07:53] Gaflana, another refrence and I will personally call the ops.

[07:53] it's in sudo crontab [07:53] in theory it should work but it doesn't even work on 10.10 either [07:53] Kartagis: you probably need to use tee instead of the >> (just a guess) [07:54] Canadian1296: http://hpaste.org/64211 [07:54] I can't figure out what to do [07:54] *that is after autoremove [07:54] why?

I'm David . I need to disable some programs that loads automaticaly in my ubuntu 11.04. since i chaged grafic card it hangs.. in what files are they loaded [07:58] Anyone familiar with libunity here? [07:58] I just upgraded natty to oneiric, network interface (eth0 wired only) was deleted from interfaces config file without explanation, I replaced it and that didn't fully fix things, had to ln -s /var/lock and /var/run to the new /run and /run/lock respectively [07:58] wht is libunity ?? [07:58] I can now ifup eth0 and that works fine. [07:59] but for whatever reason, the network card is not coming up automatically [07:59] eeraser: unity launcher API. [07:59] anyone know why / how to fix"? [07:59] I have the right to talk about gays! Do not you dare deny me do it! [07:59] Mango: sudo service stop [07:59] ciao [07:59] Gaflana: yes you do, just not here [07:59] joker* ... used for wht ???

[08:00] zykotick9: that tee command left me with only what line [08:00] supermun: Did you figure it out? Is it working? [08:01] Kartagis: Is there some file where i can comment out the things i dont like loaded like in arch? [08:01] Kartagis: oh damb... ya you need to use -a to append. Sorry about that! [08:02] bobo37774: Working :P [08:02] supermun: awesome. Have fun. [08:02] Don't feed the troll; he's been warned [08:02] ok [08:03] bobo37774: Quality maybe isn't as good. Is that common [08:03] Compared to windows [08:03] yeah [08:03] zykotick9 my fear is that I've messed something up and there is no bug. Are these situations just ignored and not responded to [08:03] Mango: arch? you might want to try #archlinux [08:04] hearno_: i just doubt many people here use rsyslog as you are (i certainly don't), so "help" might not be easy to come by... [08:04] I have this installed "libc-bin=2.13-20ubuntu5, libc6=2.10.1-0ubuntu15, libc6-i686=2.10.1-0ubuntu15, libc6-dev=2.10.1-0ubuntu15, multiarch-support=2.13-20ubuntu5" [08:04] how do I remove libc-bin and multiarch-support ? [08:04] supermun: hard to say. Depends on driver type of webcam etc.. That control page you were on should be able to control resolution settings. Also, there are many settings you can play with for flash that are meant to be stored in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg Look it up online there are quite a few different switches you can test out. [08:04] and ftr "apt-get isntall -f" wants to gut my system [08:05] K [08:05] zykotick9 understood. I'm simply looking at apache2 logs to forward to a relay [08:05] and "apt-get purge/remove" doesnt work [08:05] Kartagis: no im on ubuntu but i would like ti disable some unessesary services and wonder if they are listed in a file someware like in the config file in arch [08:05] does crontab kick in after network-manager does on reboot? [08:05] "Sudo apt-get remove " [08:05] bobo37774: Thank you very much for your help. One last question if I may. I have a tar.bz2 box. How do I install the program? [08:05] if you ever run a website and don't want the logs taking up too much space it's somewhat convenient to see what types of errors you're getting [08:06] Mango: graphical or CLI? [08:06] supermun: tar.bz2 is an archive. Inside it is a program you wish to install? Is that what you are saying? [08:06] **and being able to forward them [08:06] Yes [08:06] Kartagis: Cli! [08:07] I know this is slightly off topic, but anyone have experience with ltsp? [08:07] or from windows [08:07] or from puppylinux from stick [08:07] supermun: Usually packages you need to build from source are distributed that way. Did you search in the software center first to make sure the application you are looking for is not in there? [08:07] Mango: you might try deleting the init script from /etc/init.d/ [08:07] Yes [08:07] Mango: or rename it [08:08] Not on there [08:08] Angablade: remove doesnt work [08:08] Mango: ubuntu doesn't have a "good" way to manage services anymore... [08:09] Ok [08:09] zykotick9, you mean... like service? [08:09] supermun: okay well generally speaking you extract the archive, navigate to it in your terminal, and then run configure, make, makeinstall. You should use checkinstall though so you do not have to save the source code to uninstall it. [08:09] Mango: re Kartagis' comment (WARNING) it's /etc/init/ you should be using [08:09] Im in windows now and checking out that trough EXT"fsd [08:09] ext2fsd [08:09] supermun: have you ever built software from source before? [08:09] Jon--: that won't do anything to disable/enable them will it. Turn on/off yes - but that's not what is being discussed. [08:10] No [08:10] Never lol [08:10] hi everybody. i'm having a problem installing vmware player. i'm on a new Asus zenbook which doesn't work great yet with linux so i installed kernel 3.3.0rc7 but now when i try install vmware player it says i have the wrong gcc version to what my kernel was compiled on. i've tried also install gcc-4-4-base as well but it doesn't seem to help. does anyone know a way around it? thanks for any help [08:10] Oh boy [08:10] bobo37774: This is gonna suck right lol [08:10] supermun: no, it's pretty easy [08:10] supermun: yeah it can be a pain until you figure it out. But it really is not that complicated. [08:11] bobo37774: Well I gotta have it haha. Let's dive rightin? [08:11] supermun: all the hard work is prepackaged into scripts and all you have to do is type 4 things and watch it go by [08:11] K [08:11] !checkinstall [08:11] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [08:11] Okay im opening with archive manager [08:11] Right [08:11] To,yk desktop [08:11] My* [08:12] Whoops [08:12] Hello folks. I have a problem since yesterday but I am not sure what caused it.. I am not able to play videos on neither chrome or firefox.. I am able to play videos on youtube bot not flash ones like this: http://kmaheshbhat.com/node/252 Could someone please help me? I am running Ubuntu 11.10 64bit [08:12] supermun: Okay well first of all I would reccomend checkinstall. Install checkinstall from your software manager before you do anything else. [08:12] K [08:12] Things don't load sofast. W,l it sped up eventually? [08:12] Like windows. Much slower than windows 7 [08:13] how do I use ' in a .bashrc alias? [08:13] supermun: Oh well it depends on what window manager / desktop environment you use. There are many choices in gnu / linux. More then you may realize.

[08:14] Kartagis: depends on context [08:14] bobo37774: Laggy but mayb cause first time opening program? [08:14] would any one help me step by step manually intaling gfx driver ? [08:14] please [08:15] supermun: Is the program that is slow to load the software center itself? [08:15] Yes === e01^breakfast is now known as e01 [08:15] hello [08:15] supermun: Yeah I remember that. Not sure if there is anything you can do about that one. I use terminal to install and remove applications. [08:15] K [08:16] I have check install [08:16] supermun: ok so you extracted archive on desktop right? [08:16] hello [08:16] I've found that Celestia is giving a seg-fault on startup. I've tried re-installing.

[08:20] bobo37774: Extracted to desktop :) [08:20] i looked into it and edited my apport file and it was already turned off so that couldnt of been the problem [08:20] well fidel, when i boot ubuntu it fails [08:20] ah you renamed [08:20] supermun: okay now open a terminal === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:20] man - dont confuse us/me by useless renames ;) [08:20] bobo37774: Ready [08:21] it goes from the graphical boot screen to console lists some things and then gives me a red marked line saying "stopping automatic crash report generation [fail]" [08:21] bobo37774: I have not restarted since installing install check. Should I ? [08:21] how to get the deb package for firefox 8. [08:21] Jupiter20: get into failsafe mode, and read what happened during boot in /var/log/messages [08:22] ok, im booted into safe mode right now let me read my file [08:22] supermun: okay now when you extracted the file it extracted a folder right? We need to navigate to that folder with the cd command probably cd Desktop/nameoffolderyouextracted [08:22] Yes [08:22] supermun: no no reboot required [08:22] K [08:22] Is on desktop yes [08:22] Jupiter20: there'll be a lot in there to sift through, you have to isolate what happened right before the crash [08:22] In folder [08:22] Moment [08:23] supermun: In terminal use cd command --> cd Desktop/folder_name [08:23] Capitols matter? [08:23] supermun: yes [08:23] yup [08:23] I [08:23] anyone have anyidea how to get the media buttons back into my sound menu?? i think gnome3 installation may have installed a new [applet?] or something.. [08:23] zeta-: do you have AMD/ATI graphics card? (reinstalling dependencies probably won't help BTW) [08:23] supermun: everything is gnu is case sensitive [08:24] Done [08:24] Line came up [08:24] supermun: so you are in the folder now in the terminal right? [08:24] Think so I am in terminal [08:24] Yes [08:24] Ok [08:25] does crontab kick in after network-manager does on reboot? [08:25] supermun: okay now lets run "ls" command [08:25] Kartagis: in case you want to understand the boot-process - consider checking the package 'bootchart' [08:25] zykotick9: No -- Intel (aspire 1 netbook) [08:25] supermun: is there a script in there called "configure" ?

[08:27] zykotick9: would a window manager problem cause it? [08:27] zeta-: i doubt it... but i don't have any "real" suggestions for you. good luck.

[08:36] !pangolic [08:36] well i didnt remove apport but i noticed in my apport config file its set to 0 witch means its off [08:36] xubuntu: no checkinstall is used in place of makeinstall [08:36] should i try fully removing apport [08:36] do apt-get purge apport [08:36] bobo37774, OK [08:37] How do i install a .deb package?

[08:45] and [08:45] Apport didnt seem to be the problem stopping it from booting [08:45] meh [08:45] thats what was suggested in the discussion on the boards [08:45] it no longer shows the red flaged error about it [08:45] that the apport message is circumstantial [08:45] and its something else like a video driver or other fundamental issue [08:46] but ubuntu still fails to boot, it just stops loading anything and nothing starts. [08:46] jupiter: it does seem like a graphics thing to me.. is it nvida? [08:46] its strange that the failsafe mode will load everything fine? [08:46] yes, i have a new nvidia card [08:46] thats the next most likely culprit [08:46] this is a brand new build so all the hardware is new [08:46] how do i unlock an Xorg lock?

[09:41] I can probably answer some of this [09:41] nt51: sure, it "should" detect it, but clearly it's not, so you'll need to make an /etc/X11/xorg.conf and hard code it [09:42] ikonia: and just how do I do that?

[10:14] nt51: /var/log [10:14] alright, will do that now [10:14] nt51: sorry it's dragging out [10:15] webcam disappear [10:15] :S:S [10:16] i want to clone disk but i got this problem how to fix this and cloning regularly http://i40.tinypic.com/35avgpy.png [10:16] help needed for background pattern "malfunction" === Guest86740 is now known as mi3 [10:17] kk23: I don't see a problem ? just a screen shot of a partition table [10:17] sorry wrong image [10:17] Hello, I am using natty 32 bit and I wanted to change the background pattern in nautilus, I dragged and it showed the pattern successfully, but I again reopened nautilus, it shows like this http://imagebin.org/200356 [it has got tiled] I dont want it that way. [10:19] anyone? [10:20] Guess it cant be done :( [10:22] mi3: what way would you like it? Does it make sense to use a larger image consisting of the smaller one tiled several times? [10:22] ikonia: I'm in the liveCD environment, took a look at the log and it is indeed using the nouveau module [10:22] http://i42.tinypic.com/2emefmd.png [10:22] i got this problem [10:22] dwatkins maybe that is good idea [10:22] how to make clone disk without this [10:23] nt51: that's useful to know, so I wonder why the livecd is picking it up, but not the install [10:23] dwatkins, but still wont that work? that wallpaper resolution is 1024*768 aint that enough instead of tiled ones? [10:23] hi there [10:23] mi3: what would you like to achieve? [10:24] kk23: did you clone it to a disk of the same size ? [10:24] dwatkins, a single untiled complete background pattern [10:24] i think [10:24] mi3: a great big tux filling the window, I assume :) [10:24] i am not sure [10:24] kk23: a yes/no answer would be good [10:25] dwatkins, yeah [10:25] i think yes [10:25] i work on 3 disks [10:25] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/vhkeQBJD this is the full Xorg.0.log output. [10:25] one sata 320Gb and other ata 320GB and another sata 250Gb [10:26] dwatkins, why does nautilus tile that wallpaper? is it a glitch? [10:27] mi3: I gather nautilus tiles all background images [10:29] mi3: you might be able to hack it not to, though... there's a nautilus.css file, but I'm not sure how it works. [10:29] dwatkins, where is it [10:32] mi3: I don't know, it looks like it lives inside a theme directory if you're using one with Nautilus. [10:32] ikonia: gonna try this one last time, hopefully it'll work [10:32] mi3: this might help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/84130/how-to-change-the-nautilus-background-image [10:33] dwatkins: i have gtk2 wait i will try it out [10:35] dwatkins, i does not mention anything about the pattern or its size and there is no option for tiled background [10:36] dwatkins i think I may have found a site [10:36] mi3: I guess you could compare other Nautilus themes for that file [10:36] aha please share, mi3 [10:36] share what === andy_ is now known as Guest23792 [10:37] ikonia: as it appears, the install is using the VESA driver while the liveCD is using the nouveau driver. would changing the VESA device in xorg.conf to nouveau possibly fix it? [10:37] mi3: the link, I'm curious [10:38] dwatkins here you go http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/143124-full-rendering-wallpaper-nautilus.html [10:38] i have to use uinetbootin to install from usb, i plugged my usb by the program won't see it.

I also want to pause the download half way while it is being downloaded but it should still be Resumable! How can I do that? [10:46] i've installed ubuntu-desktop on a server to tet something, now i want to remove it and all its dependencies which are not necessary anymore... [10:47] !purekde | Engin [10:47] Engin: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [10:47] it's annoying to see firefox and thunderbird being upgraded during a system upgrade [10:47] Engin: use that link but dont use the last command "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [10:47] ok [10:47] is setting APT::Install-Recommends "false" a bad idea on Ubuntu? [10:47] ie. does it break stuff [10:48] mosno: why you want that? [10:48] mi3: http://www.go2linux.org/limit_rate_resume_downloads_wget ? [10:48] iceroot, because installing apt-file is pulling in crazy stuff like build-essential [10:48] hi, i've installed ubuntu 11.10 on clearly formatted hard disc, so there a problem if I restart the system, it just frezes. On shut down or hibernation there's no problems, can anyone help me please [10:48] iceroot: manual removal ? doesn't look like very neat [10:48] Engin: but that is the way [10:48] iceroot: why can't i just reverse ubuntu-desktop installation ? [10:49] Engin: because its just a metapackage [10:49] ok [10:49] mosno: and its listed as recommend? [10:49] Nunus: will it work on a youtube site? How do I get that download link of the youtube video in the 1st place? [10:50] ikonia: I just booted my Ubuntu installation without the nomodeset boot option, and it did load the desktop. However, I did not see any output even though I removed the "quiet splash" commands, and the nouvaeu driver appears to be working fine [10:50] mosno: there is "youtube-dl" which is downloading videos from youtube on the shell [10:50] only sometimes will the desktop actually load. [10:50] mosno: sorry wrong nick [10:51] mi3: there is "youtube-dl" which is downloading videos from youtube on the shell [10:51] iceroot, directly or indirectly, yes [10:51] iceroot, i know setting that fixes my problem, but i know how if you tweak Ubuntu too hard it can break [10:51] eg. something might be relying on the default behavor [10:51] behaviour* [10:51] mosno: you can disable recommends just for one command [10:52] i googled for a long time, no answer, if not here then where? [10:52] iceroot, i know [10:52] mosno: but normally there is a reason for that setting and i bet setting that globally will break some stuff [10:52] iceroot, it's the same in debian, except setting it doesn't break anything [10:52] pls) [10:52] can you help me? my mouse pointer is a big square and sometime context menu are blank. [10:53] trying it iceroot 1 question does youtube-dl work along with wget ? [10:53] Hey guys, I am using Ubuntu freshly out of the box and was wondering if anyone could help me ). Is it possible to move the notifications of the message-center to another position on the screen? [10:53] mosno: it should not break something but i would not trust that. its not a very well tested case [10:53] iceroot, ok [10:53] mi3: you dont need wget [10:53] mi3: its using an own python-implementation for downloading [10:53] iceroot: ok [10:54] mi3: really worth a look [10:54] damnit, seems I can't connect to ipv6 servers :( [10:54] is youtube-dl in ubuntu repos iceroot?

[11:01] Defuera: no problem, that file normally contains usefull infos for issues like that [11:01] I [11:01] I saw that max quality section iceroot the problem is that if the video has 4 options 240p, 360p, 720p, and 1080p, and i only want the 720p video then? [11:02] can i still watch HD movies even if the driver i used for my graphics card is "nv" and not "nvidia"? [11:02] m applying for a job and I have too fill out huuuge number of different webforms. Is there a way to make it easier and faster? [11:02] shelest, this is not the place for that. [11:02] shelest: use iMacros for firefox? [11:02] in youtube-dl, there is only highest or lowest quality iceroot can I select the one in between? [11:02] can you please point me to the right place? [11:02] mi3: i would guess --max-quality 720p [11:03] ok iceroot [11:03] trying out [11:03] helllo buddy [11:03] mi3: but its just guessing, never tried that option, i only want audio [11:03] shelest: there's a firefox/google addon for that if I remember [11:03] how do to check how many CPU i got on my system ? [11:03] ok [11:03] over command linee [11:04] thanks Nunus. I will try them [11:04] azertyi: cat /proc/cpuinfo [11:04] NyLes: I theory you can still watch HD movies, althought it may depend on how powerful your GPU and CPU are. [11:04] azertyi: or "top" and press 1 [11:04] cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l if you just want the result [11:05] scotty^: ok thanks.. [11:05] Nunus: you can directly grep processor /proc/cpuinfo instead if cat foo | grep [11:05] of [11:05] hi iceroot [11:05] iceroot: indeed :) [11:05] azertyi: cat /proc/cpuinfo [11:06] i got this for cpuinfo : http://paste.ubuntu.com/853829/ [11:06] how many proc i got ? [11:06] azertyi: [11:06] grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l [11:06] it'll give you your number of proc [11:06] azertyi: you have 1 cpu and 4 cores [11:07] perfectly thanks iceroot [11:07] azertyi: or 1 cpu with 2 cores and hyperthreading [11:07] ok thanks [11:07] imo hypertrheading is producing one processor each in /proc/cpuinfo but intel xeon is quad-core cpu [11:08] strip lets me split a file in two based on a seperator?

[11:12] I have a filename that includes the whole path i.e. /usr/bin/file i want to change it to /usr/bin/new/file is there a quick way to do this or do i have to strip the string? [11:13] supermun: Have a look in Edit > Preferences > Content, althought in many cases it will depend on the CSS and/or HTML code on the website you are viewing. [11:13] but whats a good choice? [11:13] supermun, not comic sans ;) [11:13] is really what im asking [11:13] k [11:13] lol [11:13] zabomber: a single filename?

[11:13] lol shomon [11:13] RawProduce: yes. a single file name and /new/ is static [11:14] zabomber: I don't understand the problem, if you want to change a string just type in what you want? [11:14] what's the context? [11:14] iceroot youtube-dl works nicely thanks for the help [11:15] a good choice? Surely that's a personal preference. It's like asking which web browser should I use, or which desktop should I use, or which Linux distribution should I use. [11:15] I am also able to resume the download iceroot [11:15] mi3: great [11:15] well, what [11:15] RawProduce.

[11:20] al_: sudo apt-get install gufw [11:20] al_, firewalling is built into the ubuntu disrto. install a front end to it. [11:20] ahhhh so simple... thank you Dr_willis! [11:20] !firewall [11:20] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [11:20] you guys rock. thanks. [11:20] theadmin, whould you mind to help me a little bit? ) [11:20] al_, of course we could ask why you think you need a firewall. :) [11:21] Do I install Netowork Manager to install WCID?

I looked at some reviews. Reviews said antivirus isn't needed but I must add a firewall. [11:21] t432: You don't keep the two at the same time, bad idea, so yes, uninstall one of them to install another [11:21] theadmin, yes, sir( [11:22] what is mean protocol mismatch in snort [11:22] al_, i dont see the logic in that 'must add' since one is allready included. just not turned on. and not even sure why you would need it for common home ussage. [11:22] Defuera: Sorry, I can't help so I don't, nothing personal :D [11:22] theadmin: i've already install both.. can i just remove one of them without any sideeffects? [11:22] just joking ) [11:22] installed* [11:22] I see I see. [11:23] work time. Back laters.

[11:29] Defuera: Cool, I think I know how to fix it. 1) Run "gksu gedit /etc/default/grub" in a terminal, 2) Find a line saying something like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="foo bar baz" and change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="foo bar baz reboot=bios" [11:29] ？？？ [11:29] ASAPASAPASAP: This ain't Windows, Ubuntu has NO start menu...

[11:39] mosx1: route [11:39] mosx1: sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 (change the ip to your gateway) [11:40] mosx1: change it in your interfaces file, so that if you reboot/down the interface it comes up with the new info [11:40] Jacob Zuma is feeling freeskyyyy [11:40] damn, I'm in a real hurry here [11:40] mosx1: ifconfig + route, or actually the "ip" command can deal with most of that. [11:41] ziwaphi: Stop this nonsense. [11:41] iceroot thanks now i can even download which quality i want , youtube-dl is awesome! [11:41] Im having issues with an ubuntu server that maxxing the gigabit ethernet card up to several minutes each day. How can i find out what kind of traffic this was and what process dit it?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [11:42] torgeir_: netstat or nmap may be able to help, other than that not sure though [11:42] iceroot: you wanna know how I can download a specific quality? [11:42] mi3: sure [11:42] theadmin: That requires me to be standby and use the tools when it happend.. i need to go back in time :P [11:43] torgeir_: Hm well, all logs are under /var/log though that's not really helpful :D Sorry, not sure === raph is now known as Guest79848 [11:43] hello [11:43] hello, I'm having problems mount a HFS partition with write support, I already disabled journaling but still cant write. can anyone help me? [11:44] iceroot: first tell youtube-dl to list out all the available formats of the video and for that issue the command http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK1EVhqlW-Y -F [notify the -F iin the end] [11:44] What's up Sally?

[11:45] mosx1: I prefer pico/nano [11:45] anselmooo: How are you mounting it? You might need to use the "rw" option explicitly, like this: "mount -o rw /dev/sdx5 /mnt" (command) or like this: "/dev/sdx /mnt hfsplus defaults,rw 0 0" (fstab) [11:45] Defuera: np [11:46] why does every time I open my home folder redirect me to nautilus? [11:46] mi3: ah ok and the names are always the same? [11:46] Hello, I setup lamp-server^ earlier but instead of sending PHP errors to the browser it dumps it in /var/log/error.log.. anybody know how I send it back to the browser? [11:46] iceroot: then to download that particular format ,just type in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK1EVhqlW-Y -F 35 [where 35 is the format you will be downloading] [11:46] hi [11:46] meerkats: nautilus is the application that shows your home folder [11:46] you can add the -t so that it will give the title to the file iceroot [11:47] Tyrope: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini there is the error-handling (report errors or something like that) [11:47] theadmin, a strange thing that happens is that if type sudo mkdir foo then I can write to it, but i want all users to be able to write [11:47] Nunus, sorry i recived a phone call :) [11:47] you mean the name of that format? [11:47] now i'm going to tell the decision on forums, because there's lot of people waiting for the answer, that way you gonna get lot of points to your carma! [11:47] I downloaded linux ubuntu yesturday [11:47] you mean the name of that format? iceroot? [11:47] mi3: yes [11:47] anselmooo: Hm, you probably need to use uid=, gid= or some umask thing. [11:47] MonkeyDust, but I am seeing everything as root, not as a regular user, and that doesnt allow me to access a new flashdrive (FAT32) I bought [11:47] the format names will remain the same [11:48] i am having some trouble in ubuntu server the alt gr is not working in the console can some one help me please? [11:48] I'm a total novice [11:48] then to resume the download you again need to specify those format variables and it will resume[thats what i am doing] [11:48] !new [11:48] documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [11:48] then to resume the download you again need to specify those format variables and it will resume[thats what i am doing] iceroot [11:48] vi save ? [11:48] mi3: good to know [11:48] :qs ? [11:48] mosx1: sounds like a good solution [11:49] mosx1: :wq [11:49] iceroot i found it too easy dude [11:49] Nunus, direct rendering: Yes [11:49] mouse cursor keeps on spinning when I open a folder.Can anyone help? [11:49] iceroot: Thank you. [11:49] ber: No problem. Can you try to do : glxinfo | grep rendering in a terminal ? [11:49] Ok [11:49] that's weird ! [11:49] !new | sally [11:49] sally: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [11:49] theadmin: when i try adding the file_umask=0111 option in fstab i get a "cannot parse options error" [11:50] Nunus what is direct rendering? in your own words? [11:50] thank you [11:50] can you force a folder in inherit the group ? [11:50] Nunus, what do I have do to then? [11:50] ok, I changed the interfaces file, how do I restart the interface ? [11:51] sally: Is there anything specific you need to know how to do right now? [11:51] mosx1: sudo ip link set eth0 down ; sudo ip link set eth0 up [11:51] !flash |sally [11:51] sally: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [11:52] ber: It means that you have the proprietary drivers installed, so you can handle 3D rendering well. [11:52] Do you use Compiz or something ? Like 3D effects [11:52] hmm [11:52] didn't work [11:52] scotty: no...I'm just curious about the different types of linux... Ubuntu seems kinda similar to mac and windows combined together [11:53] Nununs, but I don't :( [11:53] scotty: but I guess there are more complicted ways of using a linux with dos-like codes... [11:53] nevermind i went for a reboot [11:53] Nunus, I have video errors. [11:53] ubottu: thank you. [11:53] ber: what type of errors ? [11:54] Nunus, how can I sendo you a screenshot? [11:54] sally: "dos-like codes" are called commands [11:54] !bash | sally [11:54] sally: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [11:54] "K-menu"? Seriously? That thing is called kickoff :/ [11:54] lol [11:54] sally: Ubuntu is vaguely similar to that combination (although I haven't seen Windows 7). Ubuntu is widely regarded as the most user-friendly Linux distribution, although that means it is not quite as cutting edge as some other distributions. [11:54] ber: just launch gnome-screenshot, save your image and upload it to http://tinypic.com/ then [11:55] 3.rdlbnc.com 5555 mh3t0z:UyzMd1w6T7 [11:55] My terminal gets locked after going to certain limit upwards, Is there any way to extend this limit? [11:55] A doubt on Ubuntu's ssh client: My internet connection is unstable, so my ssh client shows an error and disconnects my session often. Error: "Write failed: Broken pipe" Any solutions? [11:55] Nunus, look: I took a screenshot and in the picture the mouse pointer looks good!! But in my screen it is a 1x1 inch square full of coloured dots. [11:56] why do we have to use the command code when we can use the interface ? o.O [11:56] scotty^, and sally please continue this dialogue in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:56] logtou [11:56] Nunus, my mouse cursor seems a QR code [11:57] How to increase my terminal scroll limit? [11:57] Nunus, like this http://www.iochiamo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/codice-qr.jpg [11:57] vivekimsit: The scroll buffer isn't infinite -- as an alternative to this, use the "less" command [11:57] vivekimsit: Something like "foo | less" will make the output of "foo" scrollable with arrows for easy readability [11:57] Oneiric upgrade is utterly useless. [11:57] is there a way to just say "scrap existing network config and reconfigure the entire thing please" ? [11:58] all I want it to do is dhcp eth0 and it's completely impossible [11:58] ber: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide [11:58] try this : [11:58] Installing Proprietary Drivers a.k.a. Catalyst/fglrx [11:58] Nunus, ok [11:58] Etherael, sudo dhclient eth0 returns what error [11:58] how do I list out all channels on an irc server? [11:58] it'll update your driver to the latest version [11:58] mi3: /list [11:58] !alis | mi3 [11:58] mi3: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [11:58] * melvincv thinks he ran a few commands whose output didn't show up with less or more??? [11:58] bazhang: I imagine that would just turn RTNETLINK file exists.. yep it does [11:58] mi3: But it's a bad idea on Freenode, will hang your client, Freenode has way too many channels :D [11:58] theadmin, not a good way to do it [11:59] bazhang: it works when I manually ifup eth0 [11:59] bazhang: It just won't *automatically* start [11:59] mi3: bazhang is correct, you want to use alis [11:59] should i use net usershare or just edit smb? [11:59] and in the network prefs window (aside fromt ehf act that some weird graphics problem is causing random mwindows and menus to blank) there is no wired network entry [11:59] thank you [11:59] Etherael, so you can get ethernet networking? [12:00] bazhang: Yep, it's fine, I just want it to show up in the network admin interface and also to start automatically without me having to shell and ifup eth0 every reboot. [12:00] theadmin: Ok! here is the answer in the terminal go to edit-> Profiles -> Default -> Edit -> Scrolling -> Scrollback. [12:00] one more question pls, is it available "pinch-to-zoom" in 11.10? [12:01] torgeir_: there's wireshark [12:01] mi3: I think it's /list [12:01] hi, where do I get Ubuntu One support? [12:01] vivekimsit: Heh, I don't use the gnome-terminal so I wouldn't know lol [12:01] I suppose it is not.. [12:01] phpn00b: Either here or #ubuntu-one [12:01] scotty^, that'll crash him off of freenode [12:02] phpn00b, #ubuntuone [12:02] Oh, no dash, sorry [12:02] is it possible to get 10GB storage free? [12:02] how can I search on the terminal [12:02] ? [12:02] phpn00b: Nope... Ubuntu One only provides 5 for free, no more... I think it says that pretty clear [12:02] phpn00b: guess not, everyone would want that [12:02] vivekimsit: Search for what? [12:03] vivekimsit, apt-cache search package [12:03] some keyword [12:03] vivekimsit: Where? Output of a command? Files? Packages? [12:03] like its the logs which are generated on my terminal [12:03] i have a really noob question. i'm trying to install something, and it asks for the path of where i saved it. i saved it in the "home folder"... ie mv patch-hidd-3.19-pabr3 [12:04] wily, install what [12:04] how do i find the path of it? [12:04] vivekimsit, the command I gave you , try it [12:04] wily: try which [12:04] wily: Home folder is ~ or $HOME (or literally, /home/username/) [12:04] kk i'll try $home [12:04] wily: /home/yourusername/somthing [12:04] trying to install it so i can use my ps3 controller [12:04] MonkeyDust, its not installed yet [12:04] thanks will try [12:05] wily: It's $HOME, not $home (case-sensetive, Linux is) [12:05] ah [12:05] bazhang: Sorry, I was late to see the alis info. However I just did /list in XChat-GNOME without a problem. alis does sound better though. [12:05] wily, package name? [12:05] $HOME would be used in bash or a shell. not a file dialog [12:05] I don't want to search packages, I am seeing the log on a terminal and I want to search some keywords there [12:06] vivekimsit: you mean grep? [12:06] vivekimsit, keywords, within a document or the like? [12:06] hi. how do you make icon tasks not show full window previews when hovering with mouse over the icons/launchers in kde? [12:06] vivekimsit: pipe output through grep [12:06] can I add a refresh option in my right click context menu that is similar to windows? [12:06] its a real time log on a server [12:07] tail -f logfile | grep pattern [12:07] mi3: refresh what exactly? [12:08] dr_willis: (s)he seems to want to search the output of existing bash commands and input (i.e. the current bash session), I know no means of doing that actually. [12:08] the desktop MonkeyDust like in windows [12:08] mi3: Just hit f5 [12:08] who am i? [12:08] theadmin: is it possible that i'm missing some hfs library? [12:09] cant I add that to a context menu theadmin? that would be cool [12:09] anselmooo: Not so sure on that one. Is hfsprogs installed? [12:09] mi3: I dunno if you can do that. Probably not (no real command to do the refresh...) [12:09] yep [12:09] anselmooo: Then it should be okay... [12:09] ok [12:10] don't know why mount doesn't recognize the file_umask option then [12:10] anselmooo: Maybe it's not a valid option for HFS, try simple "umask" [12:10] saw it on the man page ... [12:11] it's on the ubuntu AutomaticalyMountParitions wiki [12:11] hi? [12:12] is there a non-3D version of unity, and if so, do you lose any fuctionality? [12:12] functionality* [12:12] There's someone On here? [12:12] mosno: yes, and yes you do lose [12:12] mosno: 2D [12:13] Gnome 2D [12:13] crizzy, what do you lose? [12:13] You can choose it in the login [12:13] mosno: unity 2d does not have 'expose' feature for example and none of compiz shortcuts work [12:13] it's just that my Intel 945 is a bit sluggish [12:13] ah i see [12:13] doesn't sound too bad [12:13] other than that it's ok [12:13] cool, thanks [12:13] ah yes, it's an option when logging in isn't it [12:13] when should i use the 64bit version of ubuntu? [12:14] never [12:14] chipotle: When you have a 64-bit processor [12:14] i do [12:14] chipotle: Then use it, there ain't many disadvantages, UNLESS you know you need to run software that's for 32-bit only [12:14] chipotle: then you can use 64bit [12:15] theadmin: There's something about 64-bit and OS? Because I use Windows 64 bit just because of my RAM, 6gb RAM, but the OS came with the notebook, so I thought that fits perfectly, I use 64 bit in Ubuntu, but how do I know what type is my processor? [12:15] Guys, wen i do sudo apt-get -s purge libbluetooth3 libgnome-bluetooth8 it will remove gvfs-backends* libbluetooth3* libgnome-bluetooth8* network-manager-gnome* obex-data-server* [12:16] i just wanna remove bluetooth support from my sistem [12:16] is obex and gvfs needed for anything else besides bluetooth?

[13:28] llutz_: theadmin thanks guys.. [13:29] ikonia: i know it won't change it, lol.. it's just you don't get the point it's not the app itself.. it's the fact i forgot to uninstall it.

[13:31] nathan28: however as it doesn't install/uninstall cleanly it often causes problems due to some of the things it overwrites and how it installs [13:31] auronandace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/853979/plain/ [13:31] trishxo: good luck with it [13:31] llutz_: the 52nd line is Mode, under Section "Screen" [13:31] ikonia: os x lion theme.

[13:36] ajnabicancer: or jockey-gtk [13:36] thanks llutz ! [13:36] does ubuntu really supports driver from nvidia site? why does it says no module found? [13:36] nathan its not only the wallpaper lol ! its the whole style which is interesting [13:36] NyLes: avoid installing video drivers from the maker's site [13:37] How to make debootstraped file system to bootable === milos___ is now known as mandara [13:37] nathan28: thanks for the advice, but may I now why?

[13:37] NyLes: the pkg from Nvidia is likely going to be ugly to manage and install [13:37] hmm more into it Myrtti thanks [13:37] i just registered a launchpad account [13:37] ajnabicancer: yes, that should bring up the additional drivers thingy [13:37] llutz wat is boot manager [13:37] use the proprietary driver install instead [13:38] *install function in Unity [13:38] !register| xinyi [13:38] xinyi: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

Why that http://pastebin.com/9bckwx12 doesn't work? [13:38] I've also tryed with that http://pastebin.com/6tpHusKG [13:38] freeway_: a boot manager is where you put shoes [13:38] MonkeyDust, thats not about launchpad accounts [13:39] it's also the thing that loads your OSes: GRUB, GRUB2, syslinux, BURG [13:39] nathan28: i see, but the thread i am reading to solve my problem uses drivers from the maker site, BUT since it still not working, ill take your advice thanks again.. [13:39] bazhang: i thought he wanted th ubuntu devel irc channel, sorry [13:39] auronandace: jockey-gtk -> brought up the hardware driver window [13:39] bazhang do u know how to install mac os x pack on ubuntu [13:39] NyLes: what is your problem? [13:39] freeway_: you don't want to install the mac osx theme apparentely [13:39] freeway_, it s unsupported and wreck things, please dont bother [13:39] it doesn't install cleanly [13:39] unless you roll your own [13:40] ajnabicancer: its rather straightforward from there, choose the driver install it and restart to use it [13:40] nathan why [13:40] nevermidn [13:40] ok bazhang [13:40] freeway_: b/c apparently it breaks things and won't unistall properly [13:40] nathan28: black screen when using nvidia-96 drivers.. nv drivers are working.. can you tell me what would be the difference using "nv" drivers than real nvidia drivers? [13:40] you can [13:40] lol fankz bro [13:41] auronandace: it's showing two versions 173 and 96 and below on the windows it's telling that "different version of this driver is in use" [13:41] nathan i want to install audio driver for my dubuntu [13:42] auronandace: i have installed 173 version that ubuntu suggeting as recommended. so i think i'll go for it again and will be back here [13:42] Hi everyone ! Can someone tell me why, at each boot, it stops and shows me initramfs ? [13:42] NyLes: my guess is you need to build the nvidia modules for the kernel [13:42] JOIN 'kde [13:42] eJOIN #kde [13:42] JOIN #kde [13:42] ajnabicancer: did you restart after installing the driver? [13:43] NyLes: n/m, it looks like you may not need to [13:43] what is d function of kde [13:43] nathan28: yeah i think.. so i will be sticking with nv for the moment, can you tell me the difference? [13:43] freeway_, what do you mean function, it's a desktop environment [13:44] !kde > freeway_ [13:44] freeway_, please see my private message [13:44] NyLes: the free drivers are generally just not as good on performance [13:44] NyLes: worse 3D, much higher power consumption [13:44] otoh they are easier usually to deal w/ [13:44] nathan28: OMG.. [13:44] NyLes: not really [13:44] nathan28: thanks for the information.. [13:45] just slower and clunkier [13:45] fwiw the proprietary linux drivers are usually not fantastic either, kind of an afterthought [13:45] nathan28: yeah i can really feel the slow performance with nv... [13:47] i've also tried with http://pastebin.com/6tpHusKG and I got the same result. It seems that it doesn't care of files in preferences.d [13:48] moving on to the next problem, i have no sounds :D aplay -l says no soundcards found [13:48] judh, how's it going? [13:50] moving on to the next problem, i have no sounds :D aplay -l says no soundcards found help me please [13:52] sf [13:53] what is initramfs ? [13:53] can anypne hep me abput my soundcard? [13:53] spartition: an image needed for correctly booting the system [13:53] For example I can run the command `latex` in bash. What command can I use to find which `latex` executable is going to be ran? [13:54] uuuua, why does it keep stoppping the boot sequence ? [13:54] joallard: whereis [13:54] nathan how do you extract osurce code from installation package [13:54] magicJ, thank you! [13:54] spartition: you have compiled a kernel? what is the error? [13:55] NyLes, check this out it might help... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [13:55] did anyone have problems with nvidia issue "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." [13:55] uuuua, I think I've got 2 different errors. When it boots, after grub, the boot sequence stops and shows me an initramfs plus a hdio_get_identity failed. [13:56] os12: ok thanks i'll try that [13:56] and nvidia-settings shows this info above and contains only one tab with enable tool tips', 'display status bar' and three other similar option [13:56] uuuua, and eventualy, how do you compile the kernel ? :o [13:56] rafalmi_: just follow what it says [13:56] scarleo, thanks i did it... [13:57] NyLes: ? [13:57] spartition: no you don't have to recompile a kernel. I'm asking cause those problems can happen when someone did that in the wrong way :P [13:57] rafalmi_: open a terminal then type sudo nvidia-xconfig [13:57] rafalmi_: then reboot.. [13:57] uuuua, oh ok. :-D [13:57] spartition: have you tried with a different kernel? [13:57] NyLes: heh I was doing it but I received black screen after that [13:58] after reboot [13:58] uuuua, nope. I wasn't having this problem when I was on 11.04 and then I upgraded to 11.10 with the kernel 3 [13:58] rafalmi_: what driver are you using now? nv? what is your video card? [13:58] anyoen now wherea tutorial on btrfs is on ubuntu [13:58] I have GeForce GT520MX and Ubuntu 11.10 [13:59] can i resize the partition on here with that partition unmounted [13:59] with the server live [13:59] Via CLI [13:59] rafalmi_: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:00] not now - I m on desktop now on job [14:00] have no access to my laptop now [14:00] can i resize the partition on here with that partition unmounted but with the server live... so that it ends on a cynderlic boundry> [14:00] OK, that's it. [14:00] anyway it shares with Intel inegrated card via using optimus technology [14:01] I have bumblle [14:01] spartition: it doesn't say witch disk is causing the problem? [14:01] hello, fellows, anyone could give me directions about how to join in some open source projects ? [14:01] and I have drivers from here [14:01] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [14:02] should i use zfs or mdm for 4 x 2tb raid? [14:02] im familiar with zfs [14:02] uuuua, nope. But when I make a hdparm on /dev/sdg , i get the same error than on boot : HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid argument [14:02] wd20ears drives drop out of mdm array iirc [14:03] rafalmi_: im not familiar with ppas sorry [14:04] Nyles: it has nvidia-current with 295 driver version AFAIK [14:04] spartition: searching on the internet produce a huge amount of results maybe you should take a look [14:05] uuuua, I've looked on some of them. But didn't found any answers that solve the problem =| [14:05] NyLes: maybe it doesn't work with optimus technology when Intel is used mostly [14:06] rafalmi_: maybe? but i think it's best to see the xorg.conf and xorg.0.log im having almost the same problem :) [14:07] rafalmi_: and finally solved it but not really because im jsut using nv drivers not nvidia.. [14:08] NyLes, i have issues on nvidia previously but now im using alpha 12.04 those issues i guess was fixed. [14:09] os12: which nvidia card do you have and which drivers ? [14:09] os12: I'm a lilttle afraid of using alpha versions xD im just a fresh linux user :) [14:10] os12: I will wait for offcial 12.04 release :-) [14:10] os12: which NVidia you have and which drivers version?

See also !addppa [14:11] NyLes, 295.20 [14:12] uhm it's a bug it seems that aptitude ignore files in preferences.d [14:13] Can anyone help me with troubleshooting a problem I'm having? My internet connection is alternating every 30s between on and off. 30s on, 30s off. 30s on, 30s off. [14:14] Reliant: wireless? [14:14] wired [14:15] I was using DHCP, so I changed to a static and no change. The wierdest thing: I ran an update, and while it was downloading, the connection was stable. As soon as it stopped, it went on/off/on/off again [14:16] in ubuntu server, i migrated it to another vmserver, but i cant get networking to work. Iv configured the /etc/network/interfaces to get the fixed ips, double checked the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net file to see if the eth is ok but i cant get it up again [14:17] even though in persistent and interfaces theres no eth1, i can get it up by ifup eth1, and all of them are configured as eth0, which when i try to start tells the interface dont exists [14:17] any clues [14:17] ? [14:17] Reliant: I'm tempted to say that sounds like a hardware problem. Bad wire or jack perhaps. The NIC may give up on the connection if there is a certain percentage packet loss over some period of time, but with actual traffic perhaps the NIC 'tries harder' [14:18] dtcrshr did u make sure the MAC addresses in the 70-persistent-net file were correct to the NIC [14:18] yes. iv checked via lshw [14:18] hmmm... then maybe hardware issue? [14:18] it's a brand new motherboard. Installed it 2 weeks ago. The wire is also brand new, bought it about a month ago [14:18] did u try another nic? [14:18] its a vmware [14:18] oh [14:18] all other machines are working [14:19] that is indeed strange [14:19] did you install VMWare tools? [14:19] iv cloned this machine, and deployed on the new vm server [14:19] it dual boots to windows 7, and I haven't noticed this issue there [14:19] no need, its an ubuntu text based server [14:19] so?? [14:19] u still dont get all the functionality without vmware tools installed [14:19] u can install it to command line server as well [14:19] how to exit from man? [14:20] Reliant: new things can be defective. Ahh, if another OS handles it fine, maybe it's the driver; perhaps different drivers handle packet loss differently... or the ubuntu driver just sucks :) [14:20] anv... just type 'q' [14:20] for instance? [14:20] the ability to iniate shutdowns [14:20] well, it is a brand new motherboard in an existing Ubuntu installation [14:20] at adds in the functionaly of the new virtual NICs (if you are using the VMWare ESXi) [14:20] Gigabyte brand motherboard === llutz__ is now known as llutz_ [14:21] they changed the virtual interface driver at some point [14:21] give me a sec while i pull up my vmware infrastructure client,... [14:21] ill give a shot installing the vm tooks [14:21] i followed this guide - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1032790 [14:21] Realtek RTL8111E chipset [14:21] also check the network card settings in vmware and see what type it's selected to use [14:21] and even if i delete the persistent file and reboots, its created a new one, and the mac avaiable its on eth0 [14:22] whats the recommended type? [14:22] well i dunno which vmware u use [14:22] but on my clients i've been using E1000 as the current adapter type [14:22] thank you [14:23] they also have vmxnet3 [14:23] im using esxi 5 [14:23] see if that verrsion has E1000 as the network card [14:23] also make sure the MAC address on the vmware settings match the mac address ubuntu is saying [14:24] how can i change password for my ssh account? [14:24] (also make sure it's not the SAME mac address as another machine on the network [14:24] anv... what do you mean [14:24] ? [14:24] anv you change your user password [14:24] anv: its your user password, use passwd [14:24] passwd [14:24] ok [14:24] I ran pm-hibernate and my system basically shut down. When I woke it, it rebooted completely === iqpi|on is now known as iqpi|off [14:25] dtcrshr... i had that issue once cloning a machine... it copied the NICs MAC but i still had on the old one and it wouldnt work [14:25] I want to be able to wake it via keyboard also. shoule I use pm-suspend-hybrid instead? [14:25] how can idownload PPAs? i already added the location.. [14:26] passwd: Only root can specify a user name. is wat i got [14:26] yeah, its very odd === Kowboy_ is now known as Kowboy [14:27] NyLes: the ppa is just a source location; you don't download them as much as you download from them. Once you've added the PPA, you can add packages from it the way you would normally [14:27] since the persistent file points towards the interface one, the line of tought i had is i can either change the persistent so the new mac goes to eth0, or change the interfaces config to point to eth1 isntead of 0 [14:27] anv... are you logged on as the user you want to change the password for? [14:27] dunno whats missing... very annoying [14:27] dtcrshr remove the NIC from the guest and add a whole new one [14:27] martian: how can i add then? [14:27] or add a second on [14:27] This is a desktop. Should I use suspend or hibernate? [14:28] anv: just type "passwd" [14:28] what nighter said [14:28] ya i got === thyri0n_ is now known as thyri0n [14:28] i successfully changed [14:28] NyLes: either use 'sudo apt-get install' from a terminal, or use the Software Center tool [14:29] oh crap forgot to set my home server to accept ssh connections on the WAN side before i left this AM [14:29] grrrr [14:29] martian: oh but i get unable to locate package, so it means, it was deleted? [14:29] thank u [14:29] hello === lauris is now known as Guest61274 [14:29] hello [14:29] NyLes: update your package list. sudo apt-get update [14:29] I have a problem with dhcp3-server [14:30] hello , i have a problem with znc modules can anyone help maybe? [14:30] what;'s the preferred method to getting a dhcp daemon starting at boot? mess with /etc/rc*, put a conf in /etc/init/ ? [14:30] NyLes: well, that either means it doesn't exist in the PPA, you haven't updated your sources list (this would be the case if you added it manually instead of using the GUI), you entered it wrong, or you're typing the package name wrong [14:30] mtlaptop, what's your issue, maybe I've gotten past that one... [14:30] I installed dhcp3-server [14:31] anybody here who knows a good rss-reader for cli ? [14:31] bastidrazor: already done that.. [14:31] But when I type /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart [14:31] It doesn't work [14:31] martian: i used the terminal to add it.. and i check the spelling for 10 times now ol.. [14:31] It seems like it's not installed [14:31] craigbass1976: That should have happened automatically. Do you have a file in /etc/init.d named dhcp3-server? === Caspercom is now known as Caspercom|AFK [14:31] Can you help me? [14:32] mtlaptop: well, check to see if there is a log file for it in /var/log and see what errors it is throwing [14:32] Nyles what ppa are you tying to add ? maybe it is not available for your ubuntu-version. [14:32] mtlaptop: what is the output when you type that? [14:32] NyLes, check if the app you want was added, apt-cache search yourwantapp [14:32] bash: /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server: No such file or directory [14:32] mtlaptop what makes you think it's not installed? [14:32] NyLes: and did you run "sudo apt-get update"? [14:33] is the file there mtlaptop? [14:33] martian: yeah 2 times already.. [14:33] ls /etc/init.d/dh* [14:33] NyLes: when updating it, do you see any errors? [14:33] Oer: darjhorn/nvidia-96 [14:33] because in the directory dhcp3 it's not the dhcpd.conf file [14:33] martian: none at all.. [14:33] NyLes, what app are you trying to install via ppa? [14:34] hmm mtlaptop try removing and reinstalling [14:34] os12: nvidia-graphics-drivers-96 [14:34] NyLes: what's the PPA if you don't mind my asking, and what package are you looking for? [14:34] i've never seen that issue before [14:34] I did it [14:34] Nyles it is Maverick only. [14:34] I used apt-get remove dhcp3-server [14:34] and install [14:34] but it's the same [14:34] mtlaptop: did it show that the file is there? [14:34] mtlaptop: ls /etc/init.d/dh* [14:35] Bonjour ! [14:35] Oer: omg, sorry lol.. i got too excited.. [14:35] Hello, sorry ! [14:35] L3top, yes, and I can start, stop, restart it. Won't start at boot though [14:35] mtlaptop and there is a /etc/dhcp3/ directory [14:35] ccadiou: sorry? [14:35] root@mtlaptop:/usr/local/amino/releases/0.16.7a1-A130h-opera9# ls /etc/init.d/dh* [14:35] ls: cannot access /etc/init.d/dh*: No such file or directory [14:35] but no config files [14:36] yes [14:36] martian, I thought i was on the french channel, but doesn't matter [14:36] how long will it take to build a 4x2TB raid5? [14:36] that is strange inded [14:36] nathan___ hard to answer [14:36] mtlaptop: try update-rc.d dhcp-server defaults [14:36] yes [14:36] is it a software RAID or a physical RAID card [14:36] Trevor69420: software mdraid [14:36] depends on the computer [14:37] Does anyone know how to remove a password which locks ... the bios ? [14:37] Of course I don't know it [14:37] ccadiou, depends on the computer [14:37] Trevor69420: 1.3ghz amd neo, 8gb ddr4 [14:37] ddr3 [14:37] ccadiou: errrr, remove the battery and wait a bit? [14:37] still doesnt say enough nathan___ but it really shouldnt take long [14:37] root@mtlaptop:/usr/local/amino/releases/0.16.7a1-A130h-opera9# update-rc.d dhcp-server defaults [14:37] update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/dhcp-server: file does not exist [14:37] craigbass1976: what is your problem? [14:37] It's not a laptop, so there's no battery matrian [14:37] ccadiou, remove the batt [14:37] Trevor69420: 5 hours? 20 hours? [14:38] ccadiou: smash it open? ;) [14:38] sorry [14:38] ccadiou, also some boards actually right that to a permanent chip... and sometimes there's a way to jump two pins to reset it [14:38] nathan___, less than 2 hours [14:38] like maybe an hour [14:38] I got your reply confused with craigbass1976. [14:38] there is a /etc/dhcp3/ directory [14:38] clearly it will not update a file that is not there. [14:38] martian, It may be a little too ... hard for my computer, he's quite old [14:38] lol [14:38] ccadiou: tough love! [14:39] that directory only have this file [14:39] dhclient-enter-hooks.d [14:39] Question, I'm going to be configuring my computer to dual-boot windows 7 and ubuntu. On my ubuntu boot, my wireless adapter doesn't work out of the box, but once ubuntu is installed, I can install the drivers, and such. Will ubuntu have problems installing? or will it run just fine? And is there anything I'm missing? [14:39] Trevor69420, Do you know where I can find those two pins ? [14:39] nathan___, but dont quote me on that, I've only ever used software raid [14:39] ccadiou, depends on what motherboard you have [14:39] how do I format a flashdrive? gparted? [14:39] they are all different [14:39] meerkats, u can use gparted [14:39] CampinSam: you might what kind of wireless card do you have? [14:40] Trevor69420, how? what icon or tab? [14:40] meerkats, or if you have gnome i think u can just right click on the drive and select format .... not sure tho [14:40] ccadiou: If its a desktop, there is normally a small battery fixed to teh motherboard that keeps power supplied to the bios when the computer isn't connected to the mains [14:40] meerkats have you used gparted? [14:40] CampinSam: You mean, if ubuntu can't auto detect your wireless card, will the installation still work well? [14:40] Trevor69420, okay. An idea with a Asus M2V VIA ? [14:40] My wireless adapter is a linksys AE1000 [14:40] martian: yes [14:40] tjkent, I'm trying to get dhcp3-server to start at boot. [14:40] DJones, let's try to find it ... [14:40] martian: or atleast, I believe that's what I'm asking.. [14:40] CampinSam: Yes, it will be fine and dandy. [14:41] martian: alright, thanks then. [14:41] mtlaptop: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server [14:41] NyLes, if you want to try nvidia drivers you can add x-swat ppa just for the sake of testing. [14:41] martian: I wasn't sure whether ubuntu had to download anything during the installation [14:41] Trevor69420, partition-formt to cannot be used... [14:41] Trevor69420, partition-format to cannot be used... [14:41] Any chance there is a package I can download that will help me view available wireless networks and join them? [14:41] Trevor69420, the owner of the flashdrive (kingston) is root, no idea why... [14:41] the one that comes with Lubuntu requires that I know specific details [14:42] it said nothing [14:42] shouldnt matter [14:42] os12: ok ill try that and oh, the link you game me about sound card i've tried that already, but no good.. [14:42] meerkats, what does gparted say [14:42] ? [14:42] root@mtlaptop:/usr/local/amino/releases/0.16.7a1-A130h-opera9# sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server [14:42] can u see the flash drive in gparted [14:42] do you have a /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf file?

[14:42] not asking for the file, I can find it, just need to know what it is [14:43] meerkats so.... what [14:43] errr so waht's the issue then? [14:43] NyLes, some nvidia cdrivers to test [14:43] Trevor69420, so... I cannot format it [14:43] select the drive right click on it select delete (to delete current allocations) [14:43] make sure it's the flash drive you select [14:43] you want unallocated space [14:44] NyLes, any luck on sudo alsa force-reload? [14:44] ignoredthoughts: Try wifi-radar [14:44] NyLes, there is no 96-driver in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [14:44] DJones, what does the small battery looks like ? [14:44] Trevor69420: haha yea that is kinda important [14:44] oioioioi [14:44] Oer: oh thanks.. [14:44] then right click again select new and then you can specify the format [14:45] ccadiou: This what I'm used to seeing http://www.technibble.com/articlecontent/2007/12/remove-battery.jpg [14:45] DJones, I think it may be the round thing on which I can read "lithium battery" ... [14:45] martian: Forums to the rescue. I did a search on the network controller, and found posts for downloading & installing the driver from realtek. So far, it looks solved. Thanks for reminding me about the driver :) [14:45] and you did a remove and then reinstalled... you could try to remove with --purge option [14:45] Nyles xorg 1.7 / 1.8 / 1.9 does not support nvidia 96 ( they hope it get fixed, but that driver is obsolete, discontinued) === llutz__ is now known as llutz_ [14:45] ccadiou, lol yea that is the battery... but not all CMOS chips can be reset by the battery removal technique.. some can [14:45] Trevor69420, I see, so all flashdrive is unallocated... [14:46] ok... meerkats then right click the unallocated space and select new [14:46] Oer: what is the xorg version of 10.10 and 10.04? [14:46] it should bring u a screen where it has a drop down for filesystem [14:46] then select FAT32 or whatever you want [14:46] hi all [14:46] ccadiou, what is the model of the motherboard? [14:47] what about free space preceding and following Trevor69420 ? [14:47] is 1MB enough? [14:47] Trevor69420, I'm going to have a try. My MB is an Asus VIA K8T890 [14:47] Reliant: Great! Yeah, I don't "know", but it helps to have a third party throw out some ideas like that :) [14:47] Does anyone know what a jumper is on a motherboard ? [14:47] os12: still no luck.. [14:47] ummm... meerkats if you deleted all partitions there should be no free space.. it should just read "unallocated for everything [14:48] then if you right click select new then the filesystem it should just do everything automatically [14:48] ccadiou: they're those little ~8mm pins sticking up in little groups. [14:48] u dont need to make adjustments [14:48] Trevor69420, in the "create new partition" editor [14:48] ccadiou: but laptops don't usually have accessible jumpers [14:48] are you using gparted meerkats ? [14:48] meerkats: are you mounted to the drive? [14:48] where you select the filesystem [14:48] yes Trevor69420 [14:48] os12: sound card is Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC [14:48] yes tjkent [14:48] os12: sound card is Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller [14:49] tjkent, I can't start dhcp server soon after logging in either, and I'm guessing it's because my network connection doesn't finish for a bit after I'm logged into xfce. Is it possible for eth0 (which is static) to connect earlier in the boot process than it currently does? [14:49] martian, it can be usefull to unload the condensator of the Cmos RMA, can't it ? [14:50] meerkats i guess i dont know what you are looking at [14:50] give me a minute here [14:50] meerkats: you can't format the filesystem if you are mounted to it, unmount the drive, by right-clicking it in the table in gparted and then format it [14:50] martian, not RMA but RAM [14:50] ccadiou, I would like to draw your attention to the Clear CMOS jumper, which finds itself almost under the left end of the notorious PCI Express x16 slot, so that you will only be able to use it if the graphics card is completely removed from the system. [14:50] Trevor69420, wait, uploading a pic asa I get a usable connection [14:50] k [14:51] ccadiou: I doubt it. The bios password isn't stored in ram. the bios has its own ram that is kept alive by the little watch battery. [14:51] oh yea tjkent forgot about that [14:51] martian that's not true all the time... on some PCs thats true [14:51] martian, so how to get rid of it ? [14:51] but alot of mobos now have a built in small flash memory chip [14:51] Trevor69420: ahh well I digress. I'm outside my comfort zone here :) [14:51] craigbass1976: so you aren't connected or you aren't [14:51] CCADIOU it's in the manual for your board [14:52] ccadiou, look here: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/asus-a8ve-deluxe_8.html [14:52] does that look like your motherboard? [14:53] Trevor69420: it's a laptop IIRC [14:53] oh god [14:53] :-( [14:53] evolution 3.2 keeps marking some mails as spam even if i manually whitelist the specific emails. after a restart of evolution the mails are marked as spam again. this only happens with one account although i have 4 associated with evolution. all accounts are imap+ and have the same settings. i tried to reset bogofilter and train it again but i wasnt able to do that so far.

[14:53] what kind of laptop [14:53] craigbass1976: I am sorry I am just a little confused on what you are asking [14:53] hello [14:53] the model of the board he sent me looks to be desktop [14:53] !list [14:54] Okay, I'm going to remove the small battery, wait some minutes and reboot [14:54] Bye ! [14:54] ccadiou, what is the modl of the laptop [14:54] ? [14:55] tjkent, I am all up and running, but I have to manually start dhcp3-server after I've logged into XFCE. I believe that's when the network comes up. I also believe the network coming up so late is what's screwing dhcp server up (since it needs a network before starting) [14:56] How can I update the Ubuntu installer that comes with 12.04 Alpha 2? There's a bug stopping me from getting up to partitioning stage. [14:56] anyone willing to solve the problem of my sound card? aplay -l results with a no soundcard found, lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" found my soundcard.. [14:56] i'm not succeeding at installing ubuntu maverick meerkat on an older windows box. can anybody give me some assistance pls? [14:56] craigbass1976, dhcp-server is to serve IP addresses [14:56] is that what you are trying to do? [14:56] Trevor69420, right. Yes. [14:56] if you are just trying to GET an IP you need a DHCP client [14:56] somethinginteres join #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support [14:57] Trevor69420, the box has a static ip; I'm trying to give out ips to other boxes on the network. Works fine, just won't start at boot [14:57] anyone willing to solve the problem of my sound card? aplay -l results with a no soundcard found, lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" found my soundcard.. [14:57] Trevor69420: ill move to another cpter, brb [14:58] Trevor69420, its me here [14:58] can anybody help me with a problem setting up ubuntu maverick meerkat? [14:58] well, iv tryed again deleting the persistent rules, but yet still cant get networking to start [14:58] craigbass1976, dunno if you did this yet... but can you try this command and let me know when you are done: sudo update-rc.d -f dhcp3-server remove [14:59] on initctl list | grep netw i have the interfaces lo and eth1 (which dont exist neither on interfaces or persistent files) [14:59] Trevor69420, and now I'm wondering if it's because the network itself on this box doesn't start until so late in the process. Doesn't network-manager make it so that you can't get on the network until you've logged in to GNOME? [14:59] and networking stop/waiting [14:59] kinda lost here [14:59] craigbass1976, beats me i dont use gnome [14:59] i an a CLI guy [14:59] Trevor69420, http://imagebin.org/200393 [14:59] i only run dhcp3-server on ubuntu server [15:00] meerkats, yep thats it... just select under filesystem what you want [15:00] FAT32 is usually the standard for flash meerkats [15:00] Trevor69420, me either, this is XFCE, but I see network-manager in /etc/init.d and I remember having to get rid of it once so that my laptop would get on a network whether I'd logged in or not [15:00] meerkats, just leave everything else as is... those are the default settings and will be fine [15:00] Trevor69420, can you explain why? [15:01] i'm running ubuntu 10.04 and want to install fail2ban...all the guides say to just run apt-get install fail2ban, however mine shows that it has no package for it [15:01] any idea why? [15:01] explain why what meerkats [15:01] sudo aptitude search fail2ban shows nothing either [15:01] Trevor69420, why FAT32 is the flash drive's standard [15:01] !obex-data-server [15:01] cuz it's compatible with every OS meerkats [15:01] ext4 is for Linux [15:01] lol [15:01] guys what is obex-data-server needed for ?

[15:03] meerkats seems unneccessary to me [15:03] Trevor69420, ok [15:03] well I mean there is a difference in fact one huge on which is if he tries to move a file that is larger 2gb on a fat 32 its not gonna happen [15:04] Has anyone had any luck setting up a VPN on their home network?

[15:04] thought it meant universe was optional [15:04] G__81_: elaborate [15:05] hence why i said it;s fine unless he plans to store more files more than 4GB in size tjkent [15:05] bLiNdRaGe: nah, its in universe but optional, not installed by default [15:05] CalicoJack, i have [15:05] CalicoJack, using openvpn [15:05] Trevor69420, is that F/OSS? [15:05] sorry speak italian [15:05] gotcha [15:05] thanks [15:05] Trevor69420: I couldn't remember if it was 2 or 4 regardless I have giles that I move sometimes that are over 4 gb [15:05] tjkent: What i did was i edited the grub.cfg and changed the GRUB_DEFAULT to saved and then i did sudo grub-set-default 5 [15:05] F/OSS??? CalicoJack [15:06] Trevor69420, Free and Open Source Software [15:06] yea you are correct tjkent [15:06] <[1]maarezende> Trevor69420, to test up, iv changed both into interfaces and persistent to eth2, but i still get some errors that the device dont exists [15:06] tjkent: it still stays @ Linux by default. Startup Manager application does not change the order either [15:06] <[1]maarezende> do i have to restart another service? does the persistent udev rules are not connected to the networking service at all? [15:06] CalicoJack, yes openvpn is free and open source [15:06] how many people using ubuntu as their first OS?

[15:06] i can't install ubuntu on a windows-box, everything just blacks out every time. can anybody give me a little help pls? [15:07] Trevor69420: you were saying that I was right with 2gb? [15:07] CalicoJack, the thing to know is if you plan to run vpn on your home server it helps to have a static IP address instead of dynamic [15:07] no i was saying it'd be an issue if her were moving large files [15:07] ugh. it is always so difficult to setup an email server with imap [15:07] i agree with that [15:07] viktor133: it is 64-bit or 32-bit that you are trying to install [15:07] tjkent: ?

I'm stuck using windoze at the mo - frowny face goes here. [16:51] viktor133, beyond that, you may want to try the alternate installer CD to see if that works out for you. That is what I would do.

The alternate installer is the text-based installer, which sometimes allows people who are having issues with the regular installer to successfully install it. Again, that is what my not-technical self would try if I could not make the livecd installer work. [16:53] viktor133: The alternate installer cd doesn't have a live cd boot env, and the installer is mainly command line/graphical.

So, sometimes I go to tty1 to log in to the terminal and I see lots of "out of memory" kind of errors [17:01] escott: can you explain just a little bit more? [17:02] hey, I've upgraded to 11.04 but now my external hdds aren't working as they should, I can access them from root but not from another user how can i fix that? [17:02] Bought a Hauppauge NOVA-T USB tv-stick the other day, and are struggelig to get it to play. I've been succesfull two times, but I felt like pure luck. Running Ubuntu 11.10. Anyone who can help me out? [17:02] CampinSam, the best supported boot is grub on the mbr to directly boot linux or chainload the windows bootloader. you are trying the reverse where you are using windows bootloader on the mbr to try and chainload grub in the pbr [17:03] CampinSam, if you dont know what that means then its probably not what you meant to do and you got yourself the wrong instruction set. set !grub [17:03] !grub | CampinSam [17:03] CampinSam: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [17:03] can anyone explain how to download, install, and configure net-snmp on ubuntu 11.10? [17:03] escott: And I'm assuming I would have to configure grub later, to see the windows partition, so I could boot to it like startup, [17:04] escott: mm.. [17:04] seryth, do i need the amd64 or i386 version? [17:04] escott: well, I look at it, thanks for pointing me in the correct direction [17:04] CampinSam, grub is fully capable of booting windows, and it will all be automatically configured to do so if you just let the install do what it wants [17:04] viktor133: Depends. Do you know if your system is 64 bit or 32 bit? === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle [17:05] escott: Oh will it? splendid. [17:05] seryth, 32-bit, pentium 4, 2 cores [17:06] !paste | crazyfork send us /boot/grub/grub.cfg [17:06] crazyfork send us /boot/grub/grub.cfg: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:06] viktor133: Then you don't want the amd64 version. amd64 is just for 64 bit systems - both amd and intel. [17:06] hi [17:07] how can i reconfigure network manger in gnome? [17:07] Can anyone please help me? I have a Zapp MF626 3g usb modem that I'm trying to get to work and I've used the Network Connections window to add a new mobile broadband connection. But it won't give me an option to connect to it. Does someone know how to connect it correctly to my computer? [17:07] restore the default settings? [17:07] seryth, i'm actually not sure about the 32bit, it originally ran with windoze x64? [17:07] xp [17:07] viktor133, if it had 64bit windows, then you can use 64bit linux [17:08] but only if it has known 64bit support [17:08] How to make debootstraped file system is bootable [17:08] viktor133: Then you must have a 64 bit system. You can't run anything 64bit on 32bit... [17:08] viktor133: DO you have access the the system specs? [17:08] viktor133, if you are in linux right now "grep flags /proc/cpuinfo" and look for "lm" [17:08] seryth, not that i know of, can i inspect this in the bios setup? [17:08] escott: just for curiousity's sake, why do most tutorials I see want to use easybcd and the windows bootloader, instead of grub? is that just the internet being silly? [17:09] viktor133, how old is the computer? [17:09] escott, haven't succesfully installed linux yet [17:09] CampinSam, something about the search terms you are using is probably making it seem like you want the chainload going the other way. usually it just works and you dont have to worry about things [17:09] viktor133: I'm not sure. If you can tell...if you know the exact cpu, you could perhaps google? [17:09] lion42, i'n not sure about the age [17:09] viktor133, give or take. [17:09] lion42, i honestly haven't got a clue [17:10] CampinSam, so there really shouldn't be any instructions for a common case dual boot as there are no instructions needed [17:10] How to make debootstraped file system is bootable [17:10] Hello.. I have a question. Everytime I reboot my computer, gdm doesn't start. When I look at the Xorg logs, it says that the nvidia kernel module didn't load. So, I looked at dmesg and the module trying to load is OLD.. I've never installed it, but in order to get gdm to start, I must reinstalled the current driver, every single time [17:10] What's causing this??? [17:10] escott: Interesting. but I assume the manual partitioning is still necessary, with / /home and /swap, leaving out the /boot? [17:10] can anyone explain how to set up net-snmp on ubuntu 11.10? [17:11] indicator, lightdm replaced gdm in 11.10 [17:11] Does anyone know why ssh doesn't prompt me for my passphrase after I've set one up? [17:11] Hi everybody... where can i find some drivers for my touchpad ? [17:11] !google [17:11] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [17:11] Is there a .conf for lpadmin? [17:11] CampinSam, not necessarily. you should be able to ask it to just install alongside windows and it will create two partitions for / and /swap. if you want more (like you really want a separate /home) then you would have to manually partition [17:11] how can i reconfigure network manger in gnome? [17:12] escott: I see. Well, then, thanks for your help, I'm going to dive back in. [17:12] escott, I'm not using 11.10 but the version before it [17:13] any help? [17:13] indicator, ok... how are you installing the nvidia driver module [17:14] Nevermind. I guess ssh settings don't take effect until logging back in.

The boot loader works fine but ubuntu is running in text mode. When i tried the recovery console and use failsafeX mode and then restart X , my ubuntu works fine. I want to fix this problem. My current ubuntu version is 10.10. /boot/grub/grub.cfg shows this http://paste.ubuntu.com/854243/ [17:44] well i use ubuntu 11.10 there is no error shown and when i run libreoffice only the loading dialog shown and nothing happens [17:44] i remove and reinstalled it again i also remove the confuration file [17:45] mehdi, what I would do (as very much a not-technical user) would be to gksudo synaptic, mark everything in libreoffice for complete removal, and then reinstall it. [17:45] crazyfork, this is 11.04? [17:45] mehdi: and then, run it from a terminal to see if you get any error messages [17:46] hi [17:46] lion42, in ubuntu 11.10 there is no synaptic plus i installed from software center and also added repo from ubuntu.com but it was useless [17:46] all iam on back track 4 [17:46] bc81, i run it in terminal but no error is showing [17:46] can any one teach me some thing [17:46] escott .. hmm didnt notice... i do lot of updates [17:46] !backtrack | HasonDx [17:46] HasonDx: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[17:48] (11.10) [17:48] escott: i didnt install any drivers. everything was quite alright before i reinstall windows [17:49] ehrm... and there I go unnoticed... [17:49] crazyfork, im just trying to figure out what might have been changed. if its booting the correct kernel its hard to imagine what changing the bootloader could have done [17:50] can anyone help me connect a 3tb external usb drive (GPT) connect to ubuntu 11.10? [17:50] hakaishi_, there's a lot of people asking for help on this channel and not always very many people to answer to wide range of questions people have. Can you elaborate on login not working? [17:51] lion42: well, autologin works but if I turn it off or kill the X-Server the login menu won't show. [17:51] rawr grrr rage [17:52] escott: as far as i remember i ran that boot repair program twice ... once with its default setting and another with acpi off. [17:52] twisel: by default it should be recognized and pop up an instance of nautilus for each partition [17:53] crazyfork, i dont know much about this bootrepair. i wonder if it changes /etc/default/grub or not. do you use etckeeper at all? [17:53] escott : no [17:54] #chipzzz it doesn't, works fine on Win7 (formatted on Win7 and contains data) [17:54] crazyfork, you could try rerunning update-grub. if the boot repair didnt touch /etc/default/grub then you should get back to your original grub.cfg [17:54] crazyfork, do you know if you ever set any flags in that file? [17:55] chippzzz even a disk larger than 2.2tb?? (GPT)?? [17:55] escott: i amm not sure.. [17:55] twisel: do you see it in accessories->disk utility? [17:55] twisel, gpt was supported on linux long before any other os [17:55] im still facing the same issue about permissions of imap trying to open the maildir directory [17:56] its not present in gparted etc I'm now using 11.10 amd64live cd chipzzz [17:56] lion42: maybe I should mention that I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 [17:56] hi folks [17:57] 12.04 is not the current version of ubuntu, is it? [17:57] crazyfork, if the only thing that was modified was the grub.cfg the only source of your problems could be some boot flag like acpi=off or nomodeset (although thats not in 2.6.35) so if you can figure out what the flags might have been, remember any hardware that might have been problematic in the past and needed a kernel flag that would help [17:57] hakaishi_: re-ask your question in #ubuntu+1 then (12.04 is not supported here) [17:57] twisel: the win7 format should support drives much larger than that [17:57] lion42: no [17:57] strange problem, i had to delete one .so from the system [17:57] lion42 #ubuntu+1 [17:58] okay, thanks ^^ [17:58] zykotick9, I thought so. I just didn't recall what the channel for the newer versions was. [17:58] Anyone got a Hauppauge NOVA-T USB-stick to work under Ubuntu 11.10? [17:58] twisel, gparted 11.10 absolutely supports gpt [17:58] twisel, the only way it might be a problem is if you have a hybrid gpt/mbr in which case you might want to use gdisk [17:58] and now desktop is not loading properly [17:58] chippzzz win7 does, just ubuntu I'm haveing issues with, important at the mo since its my data drive and my win7 OS system disk has physically died [17:58] how can i reinstall all X in ubu ? [17:58] I read the page for Ubuntu for Android . Other then the hardware , do I have to install Ubuntu on the phone or I just hook in my phone and the new ubuntu will see it and start using the app like gmail , texting ap [17:58] kichawa: why do you need to ? [17:59] ikonia: i had to rm some .so [17:59] i have some bad sectors on the disk [17:59] chipzzz I've read forums for several days but with no joy [17:59] kichawa, which one. search for the so with apt-file and force a reinstall [17:59] kichawa: why ? [17:59] kichawa: nah, that's not right [18:00] I just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and I don't have the suspend to disk feature anymore :-( [18:00] LordDeath: wrong channel, use #ubuntu+1 for beta releases [18:00] twisel: ouch! i don't know why you're having a problem with it... it's ntfs, isn't it? [18:00] zykotick9: thx [18:01] chipzzz yes (GPT) NTFS as opposed to MBR [18:01] could it be related to jDK or JRE? [18:01] in an external caddy [18:01] hello, why does transmission-daemon autostart? will transmission-gtk break if I kill it? [18:02] twisel, are the partitions listed in /proc/partitions [18:02] twisel: or can you see it in the disk utility? [18:02] escott: i dont have any hardware problems.. i guess its that boot repair program ... i used it without upgrading it.. could that be the problem. And everytime i repair boot with it.. my windows crash.. with each tries... like showing HAL.Dll missing. So later then ..after seeing some tip from ubuntu website.. i load both os manually using Ubuntu live CD. [18:02] escott: k, i update apt-file right now [18:02] ubuntu error :acroread acroread-common ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32bz2-1.0 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6 lib32v4l-0 lib32z1 libc6-i386 nspluginwrapper [18:03] escott don't know where proc partitions is but its not listed under gparted etc [18:03] crazyfork, i know nothing about this boot repair. but you can boot to recovery so why not rerun grub-install and update-grub [18:04] hola [18:04] siniores [18:04] !es | ubuntu [18:04] ubuntu: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[18:04] crazyfork, and who knows maybe boot repair messes with initrd so run update-initramfs as well [18:04] kichawa, for the file you deleted [18:04] ok [18:05] twisel, /proc/partitions is a file that lists all the partitons the kernel has identified. open it in a text editor [18:06] kichawa, if you don't know what file (which you should have written down) http://raphaelhertzog.com/2011/02/21/debian-cleanup-tip-4-find-broken-packages-and-reinstall-them/ [18:06] What ultimately determines a user's groups? /etc/passwd or /etc/group or both?

[18:08] escott 3 items listed in proc/partitions 2 with 156mill blocks [18:08] crazyfork, sudo update-initramfs -u [18:08] escott: ok [18:08] twisel, and is that correct [18:08] escott: i save it but cant find [18:08] escott: ok, thank you. What if a user has a group listed as primary group, but user isn't listed with group in /etc/group ? [18:08] twisel: somebody solved the same problem with a 2tb drive in ubuntu 10.10 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1669637 [18:08] escott listed as sda and sda1 [18:09] dillinger417, that would seem to be bad. how did you do this? [18:09] Hi All! Say, is there an audio equalizer for audio out on ubuntu? [18:09] dillinger417: running "groups" in a terminal will list all groups that user is currently in. If that helps at all. [18:09] twisel so assuming the blocks are 512b is that the correct total size of the disk. are they ending where they should? [18:09] escott: I didn't. I'm coming in to the situation after the fact :( [18:09] escott: okay done. would you like to see my updated /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [18:09] hi [18:10] dillinger417, you are going to have to worry about the shadow files as well http://superuser.com/questions/172780/passwd-shadow-or-group-gshadow-mismatch [18:10] crazyfork, what version of the os is this?

I'm in GNOME Terminal on 11.04 cleaning out my home folder. ls -d [A-Z]* doesn't choose files that only begin with uppercase letters, but [ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]* does. What happened - did something change that I don't know about? [18:12] crazyfork, 10.10 should have switched to grub2, but if you upgraded from a previous version you might have skipped the upgrade [18:12] in ubuntu [18:12] *did something change in ubuntu [18:13] pietro10, try switching LC_COLLATE to C [18:13] escott: well ... i am ignoring some recent updates [18:13] zykotick9: that does help. Apparently users are still in the group, even though not listed in /etc/group. I wonder what gives. In /etc/group only one user is listed vs. user1,user2 etc. [18:13] 10.10 should have switched to grub2, but if you upgraded from a previous version you might have skipped the upgrade [18:14] dillinger417: that doesn't make sense? no idea. Have the users logged out/back in? it's only a login that group membership is established. [18:14] crazyfork, are you at a console now? dpkg -l "*grub*" should tell you what grub versions are installed [18:14] what is the new way to select my CPU's frequency ? I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and all the gnome-panel applets are gone.

I like having that control available and didn't know there was one for oneiric :-) [18:25] escott: I am boot straight to gui, yes.. Thanks. When I kill gnome-panel, it just restarts, each time, taking up 100% of the cpu [18:25] escott short answer is no the 3tb drive is not showing up in proc/partitions that other disk was a 160GB drive (usb ext ) as well [18:25] the only glob option that's on is extglob [18:25] Question - how do I format a drive to prepare it for raid usage? I was told I need to format it to "fd" but I don't know what that refers to. [18:25] escott: I didn't do anything special, but I wonder if something special is trying to start with it? [18:25] crazyfork, so not sure where to go. the future bootloader is grub2, and it shouldn't make your situation worse to switch to grub2, but without know much about your previous boot i dont know if it will fix things [18:25] Hmm [18:25] matju: did you read the link? instructions are very explicit, Chipzzz also pasted a link with the same instructions [18:26] another* [18:26] escott: should I try a bash channel? [18:26] hmm i have a PNY usb drive that i am trying to flip the removable media bit on but i'm not sure [18:26] escott: I also noticed, when booting into grub, my terminal is definately not set at 1920x1280 [18:26] will ask in kde forum. [18:26] I don't know how that was even affected [18:26] see ya. [18:27] pietro10, i'm sure they would know the answer [18:27] if im installing ubuntu and it hangs up on 'Configuring target system...' will i have to start over with the install ?? [18:27] indicator, so that you can change by specifying a kernel parameter, but what does glxinfo say? what renderer are you using? [18:28] twisel, can you install gdisk and use it to figure out how this disk is partitioned [18:28] escott: ok.. btw is there any way i could help you know about my previous boot ? [18:28] escott: I couldn't tell you off hand as I cannot boot into gnome, but my guess would be direct-rendering [18:28] crazyfork, if you had a backup of /etc or /boot/grub that would help if you don't then its just your memory [18:29] xangua: thanks, now I installed it, but I don't know how to add it to the menubar. [18:29] could someone help me debug my VPN connection? [18:30] matju: alt-f2 and type indicator-cpufreq to start it manually [18:30] escott its all gone pink (ish and frozen) on live CD ... rebooting [18:30] matju: run indicator-cpufreq [18:30] Hi, i am in nedd of some help, just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop and now i cant move my mouse(logitech g9) .. its stuck at the bottom of the screen. any ideas? tnx [18:30] escott: :( .. I'll just reboot and try again. thanks escott for your helps [18:31] matju: it should already be in your startup apps so it will run whenever you boot [18:31] indicator, you might just want to mv .gnome2 and .config, .gconf to .gnome2_backup and .config_backup, .gconf_backup its a bit drastic [18:31] hi [18:31] anybody familiar with software raid? Having some issues here with my partition type and adding it the way I want to the array [18:31] Howdy! Is there an specific channel for the Ubuntu-LTSP project? [18:31] I can't start dhcp3-server [18:31] escott: odd, okay.. [18:31] xangua, Chipzzz: and how would I disable it without uninstalling it ? I'm not asking about this in particular, just about indicators in general. [18:31] escott: i'll try that [18:32] matju: just uncheck it in your startup apps [18:32] Can anyone helps me? [18:32] Chipzzz: what's « startup apps » anyway ? How do I get there ? [18:32] mtlaptop: You'll get more help if you are more specific. Why won't it start? Does it give you an error? Did you check the logs? [18:33] p1lot: syslog says: [18:33] what's wrong with ubuntu's compiz? grid doesn't work like it's supposed to. left/right doesn't toggle window sizes, in the corners it works. [18:34] mtlaptop: use paste bin if it is going to be more than one line please [18:34] p1lot: http://pastebin.com/JxphxEN6 [18:34] matju: click on "dash home" and type "applications" or "startup" in the search box... you'll see it [18:34] do you understand that? [18:34] Howdy! Is there an specific channel for the Ubuntu-LTSP project? [18:35] arlo: did you try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_qlt2nex_4 [18:35] !alis | LuizAngioletti [18:35] LuizAngioletti: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [18:36] escott: it is now working !! :)) Thanks a lot man [18:36] this is odd. i can login through telnet using auth plain with sasl. but relay access is denied [18:36] zykotick9: Thx! =D [18:36] mtlaptop: To be honest not totally but it says you don't have a subnet defined [18:36] But there is one in my dhcpd.conf [18:37] crazyfork, you will need to move up to grub2 eventually. probably better to do that before everyone in the channel forgets how grub1 works [18:37] sacarlson im using vlc media [18:37] Chipzzz: « startup » doesn't do the job, but typing « démarrage » did. [18:37] but how can i find code [18:37] escott: lol okay. I'll upgrade to grub2 [18:37] hidihodihi: same problem here [18:37] wrong channel, sorry [18:38] arlo: looks from that instruction video you don't need vlc media to record it but you can play the results there [18:38] escott: thank you so much again. take care man. [18:38] have you try my link [18:38] im using windows thats my problem [18:38] mtlaptop: what does your dhcpd.conf look like? [18:38] it's terrible when a company doesnt offer a way to upgrade their BIOS with a simple linux script [18:38] only windows [18:38] that's BS [18:39] matju: it might be convenient to either rename it or make a link to it [18:39] arlo: well if you noticed this is the ubuntu chat if you want a solution for windows try another chan [18:39] p1lot: I don't understand you? [18:40] Trevor69420: flashrom works with most BIOSes actually, just grab the actual firmware and use that to write [18:40] arlo: what is wrong? [18:40] Can GParted adjust a partition to "Linux RAID Autodetect" or must I use Disk Utility to do that? [18:40] mtlaptop: Can you paste bin your dchpd.conf? [18:40] Roasted, safer to use fdisk because gparted might want to reformat and you dont want that [18:41] Chipzzz: its name is perfect. I chose my language so that it is in my language. It's just that Unity makes it a lot harder to find things. [18:41] hi...just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop and now i cant move my mouse(logitech g9) .. its stuck at the bottom of the screen, i have to connect another mouse to be able to use my computer. any ideas. google didnt help :( [18:41] escott, Disk Utility will do it without formatting it from what I can see. I was just surprised I didn't see the functionality in GParted. [18:41] escott, btw when you said fdisk you menat terminal right? [18:41] mtlaptop: The default Debian install of DHCP doesn't bind it to any interface. This is to stop a default DHCP configuration from polluting the network. To bind and interface you need to make and entry in /etc/default/dhcp3-server for example: [18:41] Chipzzz: anyway, thanks. [18:42] INTERFACES="eth1" [18:42] or eth0 [18:42] Roasted, well user friendly doesn't make things like changing partition types without reformating easier because usually you dont want to do that [18:42] matju: i use cairo-dock, which gives you an apple os type launcher & lots of eye-candy... i recommend it highly [18:42] adding gmail.com to mydestination in postfix does not make it work. it just says action untaken rcpt not in table [18:42] Roasted, and yes i meant fdisk cli [18:42] How to patch kernel that is downloaded from kernel.org in ubuntu? [18:42] mtlaptop: Read that off crazy squirrel http://www.crazysquirrel.com/computing/debian/servers/dhcp.jspx [18:42] escott, I'm a little confused. The Ubuntu Disk Utility allows me to change the partition type and I didn't get prompted to format. What's the harm in that? [18:43] !kernel | bilegt [18:43] bilegt: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [18:43] I want to install the source code for Gnome on Ubuntu 11.10, but I'm not sure if I've done it right. Do they still have a -src/-source suffix on packages? [18:44] sturd: "sudo apt-get source PACKAGENAME" might work? [18:44] <_raven> ardour2 + mackie controller - ardour sends but mackie does not send any commands to ardour. any ideas? [18:44] Roasted, there generally is no harm, unless you were to change it to the wrong type and some stupid application didnt verify. like if i claim ext4 is ntfs and someone looks at that and starts writing to it as if it were ntfs that would be bad [18:45] btw, anyone has faced laptop overheating here? [18:45] bilegt: something like this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [18:45] bilegt: I usually face the other way [18:45] escott, I see. I was simply doing it because in disk utility, it has the option to change the partition type to linux raid autodetect, which is what I wanted as I'm adding a hard drive to my mdadm software array. I thought you were inadvertently telling me, despite the feature being there, DONT use it. [18:45] zykotick9: that's worked for gedit, thanks! Do you happen to know off the top of your head where gtkfilesystem.c hides? :P [18:46] bilegt: not personally but i know a couple of ways to cool a laptop down [18:46] Roasted, no i was saying that gparted probably hides it because rarely used [18:46] *gtkfilesystemmodel.c, sorry XD [18:46] sturd: no idea, sorry [18:46] escott, ahhhh I gotcha. [18:46] !find gtkfilesystemmodel.c | sturd [18:46] sturd: Package/file gtkfilesystemmodel.c does not exist in oneiric [18:46] Meh [18:46] escott, if you don't mind me picking once more, do you by chance know the cli command to change a partition type with fdisk? [18:46] Roasted, i dont trust gparted for complex (data preserving) stuff [18:46] ubottu, im having a problem running libreoffice [18:46] mehdi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:47] Chipzzz: I hope upgrading kernel to 3.3(testing) might solve my problem. [18:47] escott, ha, I hear ya. Just for destruction/construction of partition types when data preserving is not an issue - eh? [18:47] Roasted, "t" i think [18:47] hi guys [18:47] hello sister [18:47] I'm getting back into iptables (I haven't used it in 10 years)... I've got an INPUT chain that I don't understand. Is there anyway to get more info than what is printed by 'iptables -L INPUT' ? [18:47] bilegt: frequency scaling is easier and probably as effective [18:48] Roasted, im sure gparted can do these things, but its easier to verify correctness with a dumb tool that doesnt try to do smart things [18:48] escott, good point. [18:48] Abrackadabra: IT Crowd is awesome [18:48] ubottu: I've just had an assertion fire in that file (apparently) [18:48] sturd: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:48] so i can get mail. send mail to the local machine. but i cannot send mail outside of the local machine. can anyone help me to do this? ive tried everything i know [18:48] escott, by chance when two raid drives are syncing, do you know if its possible to stop them? [18:48] Roasted, not a good idea [18:48] I should have known... [18:49] Roasted, you certainly can, but its best to let them finish, otherwise they just have to sync again later and "syncing" is always a sub-optimal state to be in [18:49] ubottu, i use ubuntu 11.10 64-bit i run libreoffice in terminal gives me no error it only shows the loading dialog and nothing happens its also not even take process [18:49] mehdi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:49] can i upgrade from ubuntu 10.10 straight to ubuntu 11.10 rather than to 11.04? [18:49] trishxo, no [18:49] trishxo: you can't skip releases [18:49] escott, I'd like to stop the sync with the intention of blowing away the partition structure on the one drive, then I can re-sync later when I fix it. [18:50] acidrain: I ended up using some method that goes through google since they seem to require encrypted sites to accept mail on most mail sites now [18:50] <|Anthony|> so i've installed sun's java and have been playing minecraft without much headache for about 2 weeks. But now, it crashes severely. I'll be playing for about 5 minutes and it starts to throttle Xorg and the system crashes. I get pushed out to the gdm login. Any one have any thoughts? [18:50] Roasted, yeah but do you know that drive1 has a full and complete copy right now? [18:50] Roasted, you are assuming syncing is only going one way, but with both drives active... [18:50] sacarlson: but ive had a mail server setup and properly working 5 months ago. then i come back to my box after its been stored away, and i have this issue with resetting everything up [18:51] sacarlson: i wiped the hdd [18:51] |Anthony|: it sounds like either the cpu or gpu overheating [18:51] <|Anthony|> mmm [18:51] escott, I had 2 drives, A and B. I took drive B offline, formatted it, and began to re-sync it. A is my active drive with 100% of my data. I ASSUME (i know, bad word) the data is only going 1 way since drive A has the entire copy of all of my data. [18:51] escott, I'd like to blow away B and re-add it later. Bad idea? [18:51] <|Anthony|> let me try this again and watch the temps [18:51] could not update .ICEauthority file <-- ubuntu 11.10, googled and tried with no use. any help please [18:51] Roasted, i think its fine but verify with mdstat that drive A is complete before bouncing B from the array [18:52] <|Anthony|> where would i find the crash report? [18:52] <|Anthony|> i don't see any in /var [18:52] mehdi: what happens when you run "libreoffice -writer" in a terminal?

[18:58] zykotick9:tnks [18:58] thanks sacarlson, checking logs if i could find anything [18:58] !list [18:58] escott since its not appearing anywhere it hasn't been assigned a letter [18:59] IvanDiessa: spanish or italian? [18:59] italian [18:59] twisel, probably b or c. this is external usb correct. so you can plug/unplug and look at dmesg to see what it got assigned to [18:59] !it | IvanDiessa [18:59] IvanDiessa: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [18:59] :O === wad_ is now known as wad [18:59] zykotick9: please don't send !list'ers to #ubuntu-it (although this specific one was perhaps only doing it in imitation), they won't be served any better there. [19:00] hi [19:00] how to configure dynamic ip with an static host ? [19:01] grazie [19:01] Hi folks. I've got Ubuntu running on a VPS. It hosts my websites and my email. I'd like to back it up to my local machine, here at home, every week. It's currently got 38 GB on the filesystem. Any suggestions? [19:01] azertyui: sure you don't have that reversed like set a static address with a dynamic dhcp recieved address? [19:02] !backup [19:02] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [19:02] dr_willis, thanks! I'll check those out. [19:02] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, the gpu was @ 76C and the cpu was at 43C when it just crashed [19:03] azertyui: oh or maybe like http://www.no-ip.com/ [19:03] ciao [19:03] <|Anthony|> and there are no logs that i can find pertaining to the state when it crashed [19:03] ciao [19:03] |Anthony|: that's pretty cool for a cpu, but the gpu may not have liked it [19:03] <|Anthony|> the gpu has recently been up to 98C [19:04] |Anthony|: ...although 76C isn't all that hot either === IvanDiessa is now known as IVAN17 [19:04] <|Anthony|> it runs normally at ~65C [19:04] <|Anthony|> but why would xorg be throttled? [19:05] what is the point of supplying an existing UID when creating a new user? [19:05] |Anthony|: how does it tell you that? [19:05] <|Anthony|> conky [19:05] escott dmesg (after turning on caddy ) lists usb 5-1 with error-71 last message reads unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 [19:05] <|Anthony|> ;) [19:05] sacarlson: i don't get about reverse dhcp [19:06] |Anthony|: the frequency scales down? [19:06] twisel, so its either bad disk, bad caddy or bad usb something [19:06] <|Anthony|> both are overclocked [19:06] i'm trying to figure out if i have the right version for installing ubuntu, thus what processor i have. is it possible that hardy 32-bit works on a 64-bit processor, and maverick doesn't?? [19:06] azertyui: well reverse would require modifing the dhcpd config to provide a static address to a mac address on your network but I think you might what the oposite as stated with http://www.no-ip.com/ [19:07] 32bit os works on 64bit cpu [19:07] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, i should mention that this issue didn't start until after i installed minecraft server [19:07] <|Anthony|> the stand alone game worked without much headache before that [19:07] <|Anthony|> but [19:07] dr-willis, then why can't i install maverick? [19:07] <|Anthony|> the server doesn't need to be running for the crash [19:07] |Anthony|: ah... does the game run with the cpu running at normal freqs? [19:07] Guys, I have a Livecd with some files, how can I catch these files in my ubuntu? [19:07] i'm having a problem, basically i have a NFS share mounted from one server, on another, it was working fine, and now when i attempt to even "cd" to the directory (on the client side) the console locks up, meaning if i do a "cd /media/le" the console is forever frozen at cd /media/le, no ctrl+c ends, it's completely stuck [19:07] dr_willis, then why can't i install maverick? [19:08] viktor133, there could be other issues, but it wouldnt be the 32bit vs 64bit [19:08] i've tried restarting the nfs server, on the server end (and i'm able to access the nfs server from other systems as well with no issue) but any attempt to access this share on that system, locks the console up [19:08] viktor133: no idea - not seen any details about your issue [19:08] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, the cpu scaling is disabled in bios [19:08] * forbidden404 want to catch files from a Live cd [19:08] <|Anthony|> so it's set at 3.38 [19:09] Someone knows how to catch files from a Livecd? Please ): [19:09] does anyone have any ideas? keywords i might use to search for a solution... i'm not turning up anything via google (obviously not searching for the thing) [19:09] |Anthony|: is that overclocked? [19:09] forbidden404, catch? what does that mean? [19:09] get the files [19:09] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, yes from 2.6 [19:09] they're in my Livecd, I want to pass them to my Ubuntu [19:09] ry: it has worked in the past? [19:09] escott, i installed windoze xp 32-bit before on it, which showed two processor cores of 3,2 GHz, is it possible that this is the in fact one 64-bit core of the same clock speed? [19:09] forbidden404, so why not just mount the livecd and grab them? [19:09] |Anthony|: does the game run ok @ 2.6? [19:09] yes [19:09] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, intel celeron e3400 [19:10] WHen I open the cd on Ubuntu, I cant find the files [19:10] it's like... they're hide [19:10] or something [19:10] forbidden404, then they are inside the casper image you need to loop mount that [19:10] this has happend to me before, on this machine, i was unable to diagnose the problem [19:10] ry: I should say it was working in the past on this system with the same ip address? or did the ip address change? [19:10] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, i haven't tried... been oced for quite some time [19:10] both times connected to the same nfs server [19:10] escott: How I do this? [19:10] correct sacarlson i got public dynamic ip [19:10] no, everything is the same as it was last night [19:10] http://www.no-ip.com/ would be the best solution [19:11] azertyui: then no-ip.com should work for you then [19:11] i've checked rpcinfo, checked the stats of both systems, nothing is standing out [19:11] how to configure with http://www.no-ip.com/ with a Dlink modem ? [19:11] Guys, would this command work fine or will break or "partially install" something in my system? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde [19:11] |Anthony|: for it to crash after a while it would either have to overheat somewhere or have a stack underflow of some sort... [19:12] forbidden404, what files are you trying to get? and is this a persistent usb? [19:12] |Anthony|: 5 min or so is a very long time for an underflow... [19:12] Kdeuser: It will work, it's a well-known guide [19:12] Is a Cd-ROM, files... they're codes, programming codes [19:12] ry: well on nfs the only security that I know it the ip address so if you don't have a static address then if it changes you might have a problem [19:13] yeah, this isnt a security problem though [19:13] viktor133, no. the only reason i can think you would only see one cpu is if you were not running smp. there are some boot flags acpi issues that can lead to up on smp capable hardware. !paste us your dmesg [19:13] |Anthony|: I would try running it at 2.6 to see how it behaves... maybe you just can't oc it and run such a cpu/gpu intensive app [19:13] Anyone know where I can find source code for the Ubuntu ncurses system installer that the alternative CD uses? [19:14] martian, did u find how to fix libreoffice problem? [19:14] theadmin: All right, with a good computer (multicore at 3.2ghz and 16gbs ram) and good internet connection (24mbs) won't take more than 2 hours, right? [19:14] QUESTION: Currently I use Ubuntu with WUBI, and in the folder it has the disk image file that stores everything I have with my distro, is there a way to when I go full hard drive to copy it over and I don't lose anything or do I have to just back up my data and re-install all my software and make sure I have all my p/w written down [19:14] Jef91, alt installer is pretty much the standard debian installer. i would check the debian project [19:14] after what i can see on their website no-ip.com noip require to install as a software on a pc to able to update with their ip sacarlson [19:14] Kdeuser: Should take less than, like, ten minutes with a connection like that... [19:14] I know escott - but I am looking for the Ubuntu package source for it [19:14] escott: s/pretty much// [19:15] theadmin: And last question. Should I use it on a tty so it will prevent using a gnome-terminal? [19:15] mehdi: google :) just searched for the original error message that you told me [19:15] ascott, i don't have a dmesg, i'm still trying to get that box to work, i'm just trying to be sure that it has a 64-bit in stead of a 32-bit as i first assumed, thus the question if that could make me see 2 cores in stead of one on a 32-bit win xp [19:15] DocVell, theoretically you can migrate, but its always a good idea to take backups [19:15] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, what i'm saying is that there was no issue with game play or overall system stability until after i installed minecraft server. But since then, when playing minecraft (even without starting my server) it crashes in like 5 minutes. Is there some change that the installation of the server part of minecraft could have made to the sun jre? [19:15] karthick87: still here? I got bored and solved your problem [19:15] I've just installed the GTK+ source package, but I can't find it. Can anyone help me find it? [19:15] Kdeuser: Well, the software doesn't get removed if it's currently used (currently opened files don't get deleted, see "man 2 unlink"), so you can run it in your current gnome setup, OR in a tty [19:16] that's ok by me then as I don't have much on it, I was going that route to see how it would work. [19:16] escott (repeat, had the name wrong), i don't have a dmesg, i'm still trying to get that box to work, i'm just trying to be sure that it has a 64-bit in stead of a 32-bit as i first assumed, thus the question if that could make me see 2 cores in stead of one on a 32-bit win xp [19:16] Thanks :) [19:16] wht i require is : i don't want to leave on my pc 24Hours that's why i prefer to use my router sacarlson [19:16] viktor133, you likely have a one core SMP HyperThreading system. so it should always report two cpus, but there are acpi issues that can cause the kernel to be unable to bring up the other cpu [19:16] theadmin: All right then, thank you a lot. [19:16] do you get ? sacarlson [19:16] |Anthony|: i can't say for sure but i would be surprised [19:17] can xp even handle dual cores? [19:17] viktor133, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/smp-kernel-and-acpi%3Doff-614311/ [19:17] escott: fixed :-) [19:17] indicator, good. was worried when you didnt come back for so long [19:18] dr_willis, don't know i just found out that pentium 4 actually had later 64-bit versions [19:18] escott: only problem I see now is why grub doesn't boot at the same resolution anymore [19:18] Anyone give me any clues as to how to change the bootsplash for a livecd? The root image was debootstrapped from ubuntu 10.04 server, building kubuntu... and swapping back and forth is confusing and ugly. I know it has something to do with syslinux and plymouth, but am not really sure how to adjust the initrd. [19:18] indicator, you can change that by modifying the /etc/default/grub to include a modeline to pass to the kernel [19:18] !plymouth [19:18] Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [19:18] escott when the device is turned on ASMedia Technology Inc appears on Bus 7 Device 3 when running lsusb.... so it see's something [19:19] ty ubottu [19:19] escott: that seems to be set, "GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080 [19:19] but, of course, something has yet again gone wrong [19:20] martian, i kill myself seaching tried everything but couldnt find it :( [19:20] indicator, so that might just be the grub mode and not the kernel mode. the kernel needs its own modeline as a kernel arg [19:20] twisel, but it does something that gets it kicked from the bus later [19:21] escott:"linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-12-generic root=UUID=c0a1feb4-8790-4ac8-8d1e-878875c74c7a ro quiet splash malloc=1024MB vt.handoff=7" [19:21] hey does anyone know how to set priorities for repos? [19:21] that is the line in grub.cfg [19:21] it seems like one of my repos has a higher priority then the one with the later package [19:21] hi [19:21] anyone there ? [19:21] how to configure dynamic ip with an static host ? [19:21] escott, how would you be able to (if at all) found out more exactly the specs of your hardware if you don't have a working operating sys? srry if this is a far-fetched question [19:22] viktor133, well you have a system that does work its just older [19:22] Anyone know how to disable vertex-shader in wine? [19:22] indicator, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ConsoleFramebuffer [19:22] azertyui: didn't you read the info provided on no-ip.com? there is a package noip2 I think that supports it [19:22] nate_h: to check repo priority run "apt-cache policy" the number on the left side determins priority [19:23] escott, uhm yes, but untill i found out what i can install on it, it doesn't [19:23] escott think you may have missed the dmesg answer I gave earlier [19:23] i can send emails outside of local network if i auth myself. what i dont understand, is why is squirrelmail not authing? [19:23] mehdi: this is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/762167 [19:23] Launchpad bug 762167 in light-themes (Ubuntu) "missing dependency on gtk2-engines-pixbuf" [Undecided,Triaged] [19:23] zykotick9, so then how do I set it? [19:23] but dmesgnow brings up more [19:23] nate_h: not sure. [19:24] ok let me check sacarlson [19:24] azertyui: more details seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS [19:24] excott unable to read RDB block 0 [19:25] escott unable to read RDB Block 0 [19:25] i just installed 11.10 recently and I was wondering why does my screen show what it appears to look like a full screen terminal every time it comes back from the stand by mode [19:25] escott sda: unable to read partition table [19:25] martian, i cant open launchpad due to sanction or site blocking by the country [19:26] ross_: try pressing ctrl+alt+f7 [19:26] twisel, sounds like a bad disk. you might want to attach it directly and check the smart status [19:26] tjkent: it's not that - it's when i close my laptop down, and open it up, before presenting the login screen, there is a short moment when it presents what appears to be a full-screen terminal [19:26] escott doesn't want to be a bad disk, its new (about 2 weeks old) :( [19:26] viktor133, 32bit should always work. so you should be able to boot a 32bit at least to cli and can then look at /proc/cpuinfo [19:27] what does it say? [19:27] what's cli? [19:27] twisel, a very large number of drives fail within the first weeks or month [19:27] ubottu, i actually fix that problem [19:27] mehdi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:27] viktor133: command line interface [19:27] twisel, thats why we have RMA [19:28] escott, can i go to cli with an install-cd? [19:28] thanks sacarlson i go to check [19:28] escott tell me about it, Im on ubuntu coz my Win7 OS disk died after a month ssd as well :( [19:28] viktor133, i understand you aren't getting a full gui boot but if you can get to a rescue terminal on the install cd you can figure some things out [19:28] Is there anyway to make that folders in Nautilus appear different than the default icon? For example, if I have 3 folders with music, and I want the to show the cover of each album... [19:29] escott ok going to shut down and take it out of the caddy and plug it directly in to the board [19:29] twisel, ssd is another can of worms [19:29] mehdi: wow what country would care if you went to a launchpad ppa site? what country is that? [19:30] can one still install sun java from the ubuntu repo in lucid? [19:30] CaBa, i believe no. ubuntu can no longer distribute [19:30] escott: I don't think it's a matter of just increasing the resolution. It was fine, but something has changed (internally, and I didn't touch it) [19:30] dbugger: open a properties window for the folder in question, click on the icon in the upper left and select a new one [19:30] sacarlson, more its sanction [19:30] how do I list all special /dev folders? /dev/null /dev/zero etc [19:30] that i cant goto that site [19:30] ross_: you still there [19:30] CaBa: you should be able to [19:31] tjkent: yes [19:31] Chipzzz, that was easy thanks! [19:31] mehdi: what country would sancton that? [19:31] tjkent: i don't find it on packages.ubuntu.com [19:31] dbugger: :-) [19:31] escott: you know how the ubuntu logo is supposed to show and stuff? Well on a 4th of the screen shows 'ubuntu' in some low font, no more good image [19:31] not sure [19:31] CaBa: if you need sun-java get it from oracle [19:31] indicator, you've been switching graphics drivers. when the kernel sees the prop drivers it runs a vga framebuffer so as not to screw up the prop drivers [19:31] ross_: what does the terminal looking screen say, does it have anything or is it just the server taking a second to load x? [19:32] zykotick9: not an option, it *has* to be exactly the package that was available in lucid [19:32] im from iran, we got sancted [19:32] tjkent: ok hold on brb - it happen s in a flash [19:32] escott: sorry, I had to leave, but I'm back, like I said, the LiveCD is a CD-ROM with programming codes of my class [19:32] CaBa: i hope you have a personal backup of that package then... [19:32] mehdi: then find a proxy to get around it [19:32] forbidden404, cdroms are not persistent. if it was a file you created its gone [19:33] CaBa: lemme take a look real quick I know a place that might have it [19:33] Idk how, escott, but when I put the livecd and run, the files are there, wasnt me that did the codes, they were there yet... [19:33] sacarlson, do u have problem with libreoffice? [19:33] they came with the cd [19:33] something about disabling irq#17 - that's the bottom line [19:33] forbidden404, in that case they are in the squashfs. so mount the cd and browser into casper [19:34] mehdi: tor might solve your proxy problem [19:34] one last question, using the d-i preseed/late_command to run a small script overwriting /etc/X11/default-display-manager... do you know how I would specify the new install target in that script? === smf is now known as smallfoot- [19:34] mehdi: oh jeez, that's so absurd. What if you used http://translate.google.com/ as a proxy for it? [19:34] mehdi: no not that I know of? they only sancted porn here [19:34] forbidden404, there is a squashfs file in there which you can mount with "sudo mount -o loop /media/path/to/cd/casper/file.squashfs /media/squashfs/" [19:34] CaBa: just out of curiousity why do you need that one? [19:34] escott: I will try it now [19:34] tjkent: company policy, that one is installed on 23 lucid machines [19:35] i can fix my proxy problem i wanna run libreoffice only help plz [19:35] escott: speaking of graphics drivers... The current nvidia driver in the repository is old... o_o [19:35] really old [19:35] you could try changing your sources file then downloading it [19:35] debian style [19:35] indicator, what version of the OS are you running [19:35] CaBa: if the package is installed on other machines, check /var/cache/apt/archives to see if the DEB(s) are still there [19:36] Does anybody know how to fix the No Disk Space error message? [19:36] mehdi: regardless, it basically said that once you install those missing packages that it should work. [19:36] CaBa: so instead of it saying /(whatever distro you are using) /lucid [19:36] escott: 11.04 [19:36] mehdi: you might try just change your repostory to anther country. some schools don't have all the files [19:36] zykotick9: that i already did for all machines, not there anymore [19:36] indicator, it should be current as of 4/1/11 or thereaboute [19:36] mehdi: also, now that you installed those missing packages, perhaps try removing your ~/.libreoffice folder again [19:36] tjkent: what? [19:37] How do I free up disk space when I have none? [19:37] escott: it is not... debian style old :-| [19:37] still works I guess [19:37] martian, wat are those packages? [19:37] Thepler: how big is your apt cache? "du -sh /var/cache/apt/archives/" [19:37] indicator, debian style old? debian never had these drivers [19:38] escott: I meant overall... Not nvidia in particular lol [19:38] mehdi: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf [19:38] Zykotic: How do I check that? Sorry total noob here [19:38] Thepler: in terminal "du -sh /var/cache/apt/archives/" [19:38] !tab | Thepler [19:38] Thepler: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:38] Thepler: check with accesory>disk usage analizer to find what files you don't need are taking up some of your needed space [19:39] indicator, check http://packages.ubuntu.com/ i dont know what version is the newest for your release [19:39] I just downloaded ubuntu over windows, what should I do? [19:40] Thepler: put the iso file on a usb flash drive and install it. there are programs to do that in windows but I'm not sure what the name is [19:40] tjkent: forget it, i checked the ubuntu repo, the files are still on the server... i'll just have to download them manually [19:40] escott disk appears and is readable when plugged directly into sata on the board.... [19:41] tjkent: they were just removed from the Packages / Release files [19:41] Thepler: you can use unetbootin to put it on usb http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [19:41] escott are there any downloadable drivers for usb 3.0 caddies? although it was recognised in lsusb? [19:41] hi [19:42] escott: it's old.. 270.41.06 is much older than 295.20 [19:42] jest ktos pl? [19:42] twisel, more likely a bad caddy or a bad connection to the caddy. its possible that the caddy needs to understand gpt and doesn't, but i would think it would be pass-through [19:42] martian, i tried that it only fixes the error which shown in terminal [19:42] escott: any way I make install the more recent driver without breaking ubuntu? :-( [19:42] i have win7 on an internal hdd. how can i run that using virtualbox? [19:43] mehdi: right, so maybe you should try deleting your .libreoffice folder in your home directory now [19:43] acidrain: I don't think that is possible [19:43] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, i found what seems to be causing the crash [19:43] <|Anthony|> Fatal IO error 11 [19:43] escott as for physical caddy problems, that wouldn't explain why Win7 works fine with it [19:43] tjkent: so pretty much i have to have the image file? [19:43] CaBa: ok glad I could kinda help? [19:43] tjkent: it might be possible, using RAW something or other. acidrain ask in #vbox [19:44] yea I think you pretty much have to pull it from an image file [19:44] acidrain: PS it's "Not recommended" [19:44] |Anthony|: fascinating... (Resource temporarily unavailable) [19:44] twisel, i dont know enough about usb-mass storage. you could google around and see if there is a known gpt/usb mass storage issue [19:44] acidrain: I just dual-boot so I don't really use it, but I know that my system could not handle that [19:44] |Anthony|: any idea what resource? [19:45] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, not yet... but i assume you have an idea? [19:45] martian, i delet that folder [19:45] hello. I am trying to use headphones on ubuntu, but they wont play any sound. The speakers work, but not the headphone jack. Can someone help me? [19:45] indicator, installing the non-apt jockey-gtk version is going to cause headaches because the kernel and the module need to be kept in sync and apt will do that for you. otherwise you have to do it yourself [19:45] tyler-riddle: you need to specify it in your sound settings [19:45] |Anthony|: sorry... not yet, but i'll mull it over :-) [19:46] ubottu: Do you know, using the d-i preseed/late_command of my preseed.cfg to run a small script overwriting /etc/X11/default-display-manager on the target install, how I would specify the target in that script?

I am running ubuntu on old laptop with 480 MB RAM which is oviously not enough. Does anyone know any good guides about how to optimize ubuntu for such low systems? [19:52] yiier, what do you not like. i think unity gnome3 are great for developers [19:52] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, hmm really? i haven't tinkered with the bios for mem settings. Also i have 8GB DDR2 [19:52] yiier: same here. I went back to 11.04 (as it still has the 'ubuntu classic' option). Try out Xubuntu! [19:52] polite look into kbuntu [19:52] hi [19:52] can i stop PUTTY from deleting text when there is too much on the screen? [19:53] my english is easy [19:53] wiel why are you using putty? [19:53] wiel: yes, in the settings you can set the scrollback buffer [19:53] you can do ssh from terminal [19:53] tjkent doesn't require kubuntu even higher system? [19:53] tjkent: he or she may be using windows as a client to an ubuntu server [19:53] has anyone used cinnamon instead of unity? is it possible? [19:53] Hey guys, I want to start developing stuff for Ubuntu but I don't know where to start. [19:53] tjkent, my apologies... [19:53] escott thanks for your time, I think I'm just going to leave the disk plugged directly into the board until I have a new ssd OS disk and install win7 again [19:53] Question - In Ubuntu's Disk Utility when I have a RAID array going, I have an option to "add component", which I thought was to add more drives to the array. However, even though I have an unformatted "Linux RAID Autodetect" hard drive listed with no data on it, it's grayed out as an option. Yet sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 works great to add it. Does that feature in Disk Utility do something different and I was misunderstand [19:54] yiier: try "awesome" [19:54] Is it good practice to maintain and fork software that's been abandoned? [19:54] |Anthony|: i really think you should try it at 2.6 to see what happens... maybe the cpu or gpu is too fast for the memory when they heat up [19:54] chronofast: people have tried, then showed up in this channel with issues. If you want cinnamon, use mint. [19:54] escott: i just did that and restarted, had to fix filesystem (auto) on reboot but it seems to be working… how can I verify that it is indeed ext4 now? [19:54] i have problem su [19:54] roasted, if you know how to do it on the cli. why do you care what the gui does? [19:54] escott: personal curiosity to be honest. [19:55] cigue: you may be better off asking about this in #ubuntu-devel [19:55] escott, see i use netbeans for the IDE, so when i debug my code with break points I have to toggle between browser and IDE for checking results.... which is annoying [19:55] polite: I thought it was kubuntu, but it might be xubunut [19:55] Can anyone tell what is XUBUNTU [19:55] escott: I figured out then when users are added to a group as a primary group, that it doesn't reflect in /etc/group for that group (presumably bc it is listed in /etc/passwd now) [19:55] ubuntu using xfce display [19:55] yiier: it's ubuntu with XFCE as the main interface [19:55] <|Anthony|> Chipzzz, i'll tinker with that, but i'm doubtful :/ [19:55] hi [19:56] tjkent, "awesome" i didnot get you [19:56] yiier: google it :-P [19:56] jaha, with ext filesystems the dilineation between 2,3,4 is fuzzy. ext4 is ext3+extents which is the "big" ext4 feature. there are others though [19:56] cigue: Or if you're looking at app development then try #ubuntu-app-devel [19:56] !xubuntu | yiier [19:56] yiier: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [19:56] awesome is a tiling interface [19:56] good day [19:56] escott: thanks [19:56] dillinger417, yeah that would make sense [19:56] |Anthony|: it's a strange problem, but i would eliminate that before digging into the more exotic possibilities [19:57] martian, is XFCE similar to GNOME2... i somehow love Gnome2... switching back from unity to gnome2... didnot bring the actual gnome2 stuff.. [19:57] tjkent: i personally use awesome, but i'd never recommend it to anyone - to complicated for most users. yiier [19:57] dillinger417, sorry i didnt think to verify that [19:57] zykotick9, what is awesome? please tell me [19:58] yiier: trust me, you don't want it. [19:58] escott: np. ty for help. I also ran grpck and pwck w/o errors so I think I'm good. [19:58] yiier, there are tiling plugins for gnome3 and unity does tile as well. i very much like the tiling + dash workflow [19:58] zykotick9: there are plenty of guides for it [19:58] could it be possible to load ubuntu OS in my LG android phone? [19:59] sanjeev: you do know that android is a linux os right? [19:59] yes [19:59] ok [19:59] escott, i read some where even Linus Torvalds thinks GNOME3 is an unholy mess... [19:59] sanjeev: From what I've heard, yes, but it's quite a bit of work to configure it to work nicely. [19:59] yiier: are you on 11.04 or 11.10? yes, it's... similar-ish. It's a good lightweight traditional-ish interface [20:00] Help! I can't log in! The log in screen won't accept keyboard input! (Ubuntu 11.04) I'm on Recovery Mode on this computer, so I know the keyboard is not broken. [20:00] escott, for me both Unity and gnome3 destroyed my geekish behaviour [20:00] tlhonmey, great [20:00] sanjeev, yes, it's possible. However, it's quite an involved process where a lot of things can go wrong. Unless you are willing to do quite a bit of research and accept the liability for turning your phone into a paperweight, I wouldn't recommend it yet. [20:00] yiier, and he seldom has opinions ;) but whatever works for you, but the more specific you can be about what you dont like the more specific the suggestions can be [20:00] escott, XFCE is it good for programmers... so that they can avoid all these UI stuff [20:01] BlueProtoman, does the keyboard work at all? does the numlock light come on? [20:01] @lion42, @tlhonmey, any hardware specification for loading the OS in android mobile, [20:02] escott: This keyboard doesn [20:02] This keyboard doesn't have NumLock. [20:02] BlueProtoman, does it have lights? [20:02] Yes, but only for Caps Lock. [20:02] martian, on 11.10..my lenovo thinkpad T510 series has serious issues with 11.10... it doesnt shut down properly [20:02] BlueProtoman, and does that work? === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu [20:02] YOU TELL ME [20:02] escott yiier: a childish dock thing that can't be moved and has no settings, moving the menu's to the top of the screen like we're on MacOS7, a silly obtrusive search thing that's likely only useful for people who have no idea what they're doing, and a pathetic selection of customization options for the panel... for starters :) [20:02] i need to upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 from 10.04, to do this i need to use unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive; however the version of ubuntu i have does not list ubuntu in the drop down menu. please help [20:03] I need help [20:03] (KIDDING) [20:03] escott: hmm, well thanks for the help man.. Appreciate it. I'll probably tinker around with the drivers and such later, when I don't feel like enduring a headache [20:03] I'm off [20:03] considering i have only 512MB of mem, perhaps, i386 would be the better choise to install? [20:03] Any thoughts, escott? [20:03] How do you change the size of the viewports in the expo screen? [20:03] viktor133, with an older p4 i think thats reasonable [20:03] martian, what are you referring too...11.10 unity? [20:03] ch33z: no doubt... can you be more specific [20:03] Anyone have any news of Ubuntu's progress getting more android manufacturers on board for their desktop/phone integration? [20:03] BlueProtoman, does the capslock light come on? [20:03] Yes. [20:03] yiier: oh yeah 11.10 is gnome3. I just downgraded back to 11.04 after a week or so on 11.10 and am still quite happy, but I will likely be moving to xubuntu or cinnamon once ubuntu drops support for this [20:04] sanjeev: I only have a dumbphone, so I haven't experimented much with loading alternative OSs on them. There are probably instructions available on the web though. [20:04] BlueProtoman, try ctrl+alt+f1 see if it takes you to a terminal [20:04] yes, sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [20:04] how come this command doesnt work [20:04] ch33z, copy it where? [20:04] I am trying to set up the basic virtual hosts [20:04] yiier: unity and gnome-shell/gnome3 all seem very half-baked IMO but this is getting rather #ubuntu-offtopic so I digress :) [20:04] in the manual [20:04] ch33z: you didn't specify a destination [20:04] o [20:04] hello, i was talking to someone about an issue with headphones [20:05] :-) [20:05] blumonkey: If you're just wanting to upgrade, have you tried running gksudo update-manager -c? [20:05] in the manual it said to load that command to create a directory for virtual hosts [20:05] @tlhonmey, recently i got my hands on used LG 600Mhz (ARM processor) device, so thought of giving a try in it [20:05] so Chipzzz how do I create a directory? [20:05] the speakers work fine, but the headphones dont. any ideas? [20:05] xubuntu looks promising for me... does it have Long term support [20:05] ch33z: sudo mkdir /directory/name [20:05] ah forgot that haha [20:06] im still gettingback into the the linux world [20:06] :-) [20:06] just small things are bleh [20:06] welcome home :-) [20:06] I need to fully purge unity from 11.04 for hardware compatibility issues. [20:06] How do I do this? [20:06] yiier, xubuntu should be fine for some time [20:06] anybody is having «freezes» involving gnome-screensaver-dialog just disappearing from the screen, making it impossible to type the password for unlocking ? I have to Ctrl+Alt+F1, kill the process of that name and a new one automatically appears in the foreground. This looks very much like a bug. I have to do that several times a day. [20:06] so with that sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [20:06] sanjeev: How to do it varies a lot from device to device. You'd be best off looking for the model number on the web and seeing what you can find. [20:06] instead of default i put "shadyapps [20:06] is there any reason to use password -l over usermod -l or vis versa? [20:06] as a website [20:07] it would create a directory as shady apps to ftp the files for such [20:07] tlhonmey: i read that i shouldn't upgrade from a release that was more than one behind. [20:07] also i wanted to use unetbootin for something else as well [20:07] canonical should create a deskop environment for geeks, programmers which consume less memory [20:07] dillinger417, usermod -L but no difference between the two [20:07] @tlhonmey, yeah searching them in web and android related forums [20:07] what say guys? [20:07] Jon--: log out, and after entering your username and password in the login screen, select 'ubuntu classic' from the menu at the bottom of the screen before logging in [20:08] ch33z: if memory serves /etc/apache2/sites-available/default is the default file that you would copy to another file name after the server you want to create... lemme find you some directions... hang on [20:08] mhm [20:08] blumonkey: The upgrade process in general can cause issues depending on how much you've customised your system. My suggestion at that rate would be to download the standalone unetbootin and the ISOs of anything you want to use with it. [20:08] yiier: your question is OT, but why re-invent the wheel? There are lots of DEs / WMs to choose from. [20:08] @tlhonmey, its LG p350, most of the document says on root access to it [20:08] thanka [20:08] thanks* [20:08] escott: cool. Can i unlock an account locked with usermod -L w/ password -u (or vis versa)? [20:09] martian, I'm sorry but this is a very specialized case. We have xsession all set to use classic ubuntu but it's still using unity-window-decorator in .xsession.errors. I am doing an ltsp PXE boot of about 250 workstations, those with hardware compatibility issues with unity fail to load gnome-panel. I have done apt-get purge --auto-remove on all unity* with ii and it still attempts to use the decorator. Any ideas? [20:09] zykotick9, name some for me please.. xfce is ok..any other? [20:09] escott, still here? [20:09] dillinger417, they both do the same thing ! the passwd in shadow so both should be the same [20:09] tlhonmey: okay thanks, ill try it with the 11.10 iso, but for some reason it will not work with the linuxcoin iso which i have already downloaded [20:09] sanjeev: Well, you almost always need to get root access before you can change the operating system. How to go about actually loading a different OS though is usually very hardware specific. [20:09] Odd, it seems that my login screen takes keyboard input now, but only if I hold a key for a few seconds. [20:09] <[AJS]> doing a minimal install - when I boot all I get is a flashing cursor - is there any way to get a prompt? [20:10] BlueProtoman, did ctrl-alt-f1 take you to a login terminal [20:10] Jon--: oh hmm... nope :) Unity is a disease that is hard to cure [20:10] blumonkey: there are many different ways to create live CDs, and unetbootin doesn't necessarily work with all of them. [20:10] <[AJS]> escott: no [20:10] escott, yes, I just didn't know how to bring it back to X. [20:10] So I reset. [20:10] @tlhonmey, true, i am searching for those kind of hardware specific information [20:10] I need to fully purge unity from 11.04 for hardware compatibility issues. Any ideas? I need to actually purge it, setting xsession does not fix the error (they're all set to use classic, and don't) [20:10] BlueProtoman, it would be ctrl-alt-f7, but you can login at that point and run "top" to see if anything is hogging the cpu [20:10] !desktop | yiier there are others [20:10] yiier there are others: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together".

[20:22] Jon--: You'd have to dl/install something *other* than 11.04 or 11.10, Unity is built into those versions [20:22] vitos1978: no warez here - LjL ;) [20:22] danileigh79: It depends a lot on the hardware, if the speakers and the headset jack are kept independent of each other it's sometimes set up that way so you can use the headset and the speakers at the same time. [20:22] How can I the cheapest way run a command as an ordinary user from init? This is on natty, so there is no setuid stanza in upstart [20:22] LjL: changed the factoid, nice [20:22] tlhonmey: Not on a laptop... integrated sound functions better that way [20:22] sveinse: can you use the @reboot designation in the user's crontab? [20:23] tlhonmey: unless it's one of those new media computers... [20:23] can someone suggest a linux distro to use? ubuntu isnt working at all [20:23] jrib, good idea, but I need it to be an upstart service [20:23] I need to fully purge unity from 11.04 for hardware compatibility issues. Any ideas? I need to actually purge it, setting xsession does not fix the error (they're all set to use classic, and don't). Please help me guys, trying to set up PXE clients for a competition :(. xsession.errors contains unity-window-decorator references, despite all of unity being purged on that box. [20:23] tlhonmey: thanks for that about the directory access... i never realized it [20:23] danileigh79: I've seen two or three laptops that did it with various versions of ubuntu. [20:23] sveinse: use su -c I guess [20:23] mk this is odd [20:23] what program can i use to burn an image on a usb-stick? (i know it isn't burning, but it isn't just copying, so?) [20:23] from when apache is installled [20:24] Jon--: I already sent you the help you need, you cannot purge Unity, you need to insall an older distro that doesn't come with unity [20:24] sveinse: you could see what apache does [20:24] tyler-riddle_: Personally I've found Linux Mint Debian to be pretty versatile. [20:24] Jon--: I tried to do that, you are gonna have to pick a different distro of linux or an older distro of ubuntu [20:24] it already has the default as /etc/apache2/apache2.conf but i get no command found. [20:24] really? i'll look into it then. [20:24] tlhonmey: Hmmm, gonna have to look into that, never heard of a laptop having more than one sound output with integrated sound chipsets [20:24] viktor133: An ubuntu iso/image? [20:24] viktor133: are you "burning" from a gnu/linux host system? and is it the 11.10 ISO? [20:24] tlhonmey: thanks [20:24] DJones, yes [20:24] anyone knows where I can get download the ubutu image?

[20:25] danileigh79: One of the ones that did it if I recall correctly was a Toshiba Portege 2300 running 8.04 [20:25] viktor133: Assuming you're using Ubuntu [20:25] french chat ? [20:25] tjkent, I can't do that, the competition is in two days. We have no issues with the NVIDIA machines, but the Intel machines attempt to use Unity and fail, despite removing all unity packages locally to test. [20:25] "You can edit this file to configure the Apache2 server. You can configure the port number, document root, modules, log files, virtual hosts, etc." [20:25] Chipzzz: i mean, the «find» command is hard for beginners. [20:26] viktor133: Pendrivelinux.com is a very reliable tool for creating a liveusb [20:26] jon try to load classic ubuntu at the log in screen [20:26] DJones: 11.10 is a hybrid iso, just using cat (or dd) works [20:26] viktor133: and yo ucan also install to the system from the same program too :) [20:26] Djones, from and too [20:26] jrib: I think apache has setuid() built into the app. su can be used (and I am today) but it spawns the app as a sub process instead of calling exec. So I'm searching for a better method which doesnt leave su and sh in the process tree [20:26] I need to fully purge unity from 11.04 for hardware compatibility issues. Any ideas?

[20:27] danileigh79, i don't understand your second comment [20:27] Jon--: Please stop asking the same question over and over, we told you it cannot be done [20:27] zykotick9: I've never needed to do that, usb creator has always worked for me [20:27] Jon-- if u want a PXE server just use Ubuntu Server [20:27] viktor133: You can create a liveusb, and from that live usb, you can install ubuntu to the hard disk if you wish [20:27] anyone french here ? [20:27] also if you use Ubuntu Server I think u can just add Gnome classic to it without unity [20:27] !fr > Hosman [20:27] Hosman, please see my private message [20:27] that'd be equal to purging [20:28] !fr | Hosman [20:28] Hosman: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[20:28] danileigh79, ah, k, that's the id :) [20:28] Trevor69420, There is no time for this we have a fully customized image with ltsp booting Ubuntu clients. Including scripts, custom installs, configuration. We are using Ubuntu server to serve the PXE image with ltsp, if it's any consolation. [20:28] viktor133: glad I coujld help [20:28] danileigh79, Who the fuck installs a window manager that can't be disabled when there is hardware incompatibility? Are you serious? [20:28] ok thx [20:28] consolation for who?? not me lol i dont care either way just suggesting if you use ubuntu server you can then add the gnome classic to it [20:29] jon-- watch your language [20:29] giving u some suggestions [20:29] <|Anthony|> did sun-java6- recently get removed from the partner repos? [20:29] danileigh79, one more thing, i can use this on a running OS right, the specific box doesn't boot from usb [20:29] Jon--: perhaps you're better off asking on the forums as there's a greater audience [20:29] ? [20:29] Jon--: It's built in on top of Gnome, it's not installed, it's part of the OS [20:29] I understand you're just trying to help, but really, all we have to do is force gnome-classic... xsession is set, unity is purged, still fails. [20:29] What am I missing? [20:29] It's impossible to use the old gnome2 decorators? [20:29] viktor133: yes === iqpi|on is now known as iqpi|off [20:30] Jon-- try gnome --replace [20:30] danileigh79 ok thnks [20:30] Jon--: You're not missing anything, unless you want to rewrite the whole OS, Unity doesn't go away [20:30] Jon--: ^^^ [20:30] MonkeyDust, did you mean gnome-panel? [20:31] Jon--: listen there is not really a way to get around it with the current install that you have [20:31] And if yu want to get rid of Unity THAT bad, try xubuntu, kubuntu, or one of the other frontends [20:31] Alright, perhaps we can hack this out then. What is the binary that allows the alt+f2 shortcut? As far as I can tell, all I have to do is manually run gnome-panel + this after login, and everything runs fine. [20:31] Jon--: "foo --replace" is for windows managers, which "gnome" and "gnome-panel" are not. [20:31] danileigh79, I don't "want to", I have to. It isn't a matter of ideology. The net boot on the Intel machines doesn't load a gnome-panel. Anyone who doesn't know Linux well is going to have no idea what to do to fix this. [20:32] zykotick9, I figured he meant metacity or compiz. :P [20:32] Jon--: yup [20:32] Jon-- correct, long time no see 'metacity' :) [20:32] Jon--: just make your own "flavor" of ubuntu with the server [20:32] And since I am net booting over 200 machines, I don't have the resources to run unity. Even with a fat client, some of the machines are too old to run it. [20:33] Jon--: then try xubuntu [20:33] So, I'm kind of stuck. Either I restart from scratch and probably don't get it configured in time for the competition. [20:33] Or I hack together a script to run gnome-panel and the other missing binaries post boot, which you can do manually. [20:33] I am leaning for #2 [20:34] good luck [20:34] Jon--: Linux Mint is ubuntu-compatible and doesn't use Unity, so your customizations might port over easily. [20:34] what is the best password length for ubuntu? [20:34] Akls, as long as you can comfortably remember [20:34] So, again, anyone know what binaries need to be on to enable alt+f2 shortcut? :P [20:34] Jon--: Or you might try just installing xubuntu-desktop and removing gnome-desktop. [20:34] Akls: At least 90 characters, alphanumberic no repetition. [20:34] Akls: think passsentence instead of password [20:35] Canadian1296, that would actually be a fairly weak password as the character set is fully defined its only the 90! combinations to worry about [20:35] not funny. which is the minimum, when it's becoming hard to break it? [20:35] tlhonmey, gnome-desktop not found. Did they rename the package when they moved to unity? [20:35] Akls, http://xkcd.com/936/ [20:35] !music [20:35] gnome-desktop = ubuntu-desktop [20:35] Jon--: Probably. [20:35] Escott: alphanumeric with symbols and spaces. [20:36] actually, i don't think it was ever gnome-desktop [20:36] Canadian1296, im commenting on the "no repetition" part [20:36] Akls: http://www.grc.com/ppp/design.htm I use this on my high-security machines. [20:36] contorl alt F2 does it [20:36] Akls: There's a PAM module that's pretty easy to install. [20:36] escott: I meant simply don't use one word over and over and over... Like passwordpasswordpasswordpassword... [20:36] Issue: gnome-panel and other GNOME apps don't run automatically. Soln: Install a new WM or a new distro. Can anyone help me with Soln2: ... Script run what's missing? ;) [20:36] tlhonmey: As do I [20:36] Jon--: do you mean gnome-desktop-environment package perhaps? [20:36] !help [20:36] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:37] !ubuntu studio [20:37] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation.

[20:38] ok [20:38] sorry just came in, thought you were looking for that [20:38] Canadian1296: is there a room for linux musicians [20:39] dreamy_ try #ubuntustudio [20:39] woldhekkie, I am having hardware issues w unity. I've been told I can't use decorators besides unity. Means I either have to reinstall and reconfigure an image for the programming competition I'm pxe booting with ltsp, or I have to script run the things not being auto run. If you do ctrl+alt+t gnome-panel & after login you get a working gnome-panel. All applications work. I am missing alt+f2 run application support. I can't see anything else [20:39] missing. [20:39] sorry for tl;dr. [20:40] Jon--: gnome-desktop and ubuntu-desktop are tasksel tasks, not apt-get packages, if memory serves [20:40] <|Anthony|> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Sun_Java_moved_to_the_Partner_repository [20:40] <|Anthony|> what is the situation with this [20:40] Chipzzz: i don't understand... when having done chmod -R +x, doing chmod -R +x again has no effect at all. The only thing you can do is suppose that regular files can be -x and directories shouldn't, and filter accordingly using find -type d | xargs chmod -x or find -type -d -exec chmod -x '{}' ';' [20:40] Chipzzz: there never was a gnome-desktop package/tasksel [20:40] <|Anthony|> has it been removed from the partner repos too? [20:41] |Anthony|, ubuntu is using openjdk as the replacement for sun java [20:41] |Anthony|, [20:41] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/java-to-be-removed-from-ubuntu-uninstalled-from-user-machines/ [20:41] We have other setup to do, I don't think I have time to use an alternative de or distro. So, I'm left with this issue: right an autoran script for all users, or all users from group x, on a Ubuntu system. This script needs to run gnome-panel, and enable alt+f2. [20:41] right=write* [20:41] what's the best file extension for images to be used on a pdf? I don't want them to blur because they'll be svg diagrams from inkscape first, exported as a normal image. [20:41] zykotick9: ubuntu-desktop? [20:41] Chipzzz: that exists as a package ;) [20:41] captainjamie, keep them as a vector format [20:42] escott: can't I don't know how in LaTeX [20:42] escott: They don't seem to show [20:43] zykotick9: i see it in tasksel too [20:43] captainjamie, probably a better conversation to have in #latex. but if you are using pdflatex to compile you should make a pdf directly from your svg [20:43] hi guys [20:43] We have other setup to do, I don't think I have time to use an alternative de or distro. So, I'm left with this issue: write an autoran script for all users, or all users from group x, on a Ubuntu system. This script needs to run gnome-panel, and enable alt+f2. [20:43] escott: OK thanks [20:44] zykotick9: ...along with xubuntu desktop, kubuntu, and other goodies [20:44] Chipzzz: gnome-desktop != ubuntu-desktop [20:45] <|Anthony|> escott, i saw that link in a google search but hadn't clicked it yet... wow [20:45] zykotick9: true, & I don't see gnome-desktop in here [20:45] i want to create a user who is restricted to do everything but to run programs in his directory. how should i do so? [20:45] hi [20:45] Chipzzz: that would be due to the fact it doesn't (never did) exist [20:45] Jon--: I'm pretty sure it's gnome-panel that manages keyboard shortcuts, of which alt-F2 is one. [20:45] lol [20:45] that would explain it [20:45] ola [20:46] algum pt [20:46] I need to wite a script for all users on startup, or all users from group x, on a Ubuntu system. This script needs to run gnome-panel, and enable alt+f2. Can I do this with /etc/skel, or is there a better solution/place for this? [20:46] Chipzzz: It's ubuntu-desktop. I got confused. Been a while since I'd looked at it. [20:46] tlhonmey: me too... === dlr74205 is now known as danileigh79 [20:47] tlhonmey: i often find "apropos" useful in such situations [20:47] Jon--: /etc/skel is where the user defaults will come from, so that's probably the easiest way to do it. Put it into the things that Gnome runs on startup maybe. [20:48] Chipzzz: That only helps if you look it up and aren't assuming that your cached copy in memory hasn't been corrupted. [20:48] Chipzzz: ;) :P === mezzo is now known as Guest70344 [20:49] ;) [20:50] X11 forwarding question, is it possible to forward to a different computer, I'm on A ssh'd to B and I want the X11 forwarded to C [20:50] Dioxin: i would think you'd have to ssh in from c [20:50] Dioxin, you can double forward. ssh C->A->B [20:50] Dioxin: Yes, it's possible. [20:51] how? [20:51] Dioxin: The X11 protocol lets you push the connection from any machine to any display that will accept the connection. [20:51] how should i create a user who cannot read or write anything? [20:51] Abrackadabra, is the guest account not what you want? [20:52] Abrackadabra: They'll need to be able to read and write *some* things or they won't be able to use the machine... [20:52] Abrackadabra: for what dumb reason? [20:53] Abrackadabra: are you talking about guest? [20:53] tlhonmey: lets say I have a Ubuntu VM on win7 how would I make the VM accept the X11 forward from PuTTY? [20:53] to host a CGC [20:53] so [20:53] how do i run a program as guest? [20:53] Dioxin: you can probably find instructions for making it work in the documentation for the spellcast package, since that game makes use of it. [20:53] kk cheers [20:54] more correct: i need to create a user who can only read his home directory [20:54] nabend, [20:54] Abrackadabra, well thats impossible. they have to read the /usr/bin binaries [20:55] Abrackadabra: That would lock them out of a bootup... [20:55] escott: as well as /etc/passwd to login [20:55] guest session maybe [20:55] zykotick9, do they have to be able to read that or does pam do it for them? [20:55] abrackadabra: you could make a jail with chroot and then copy necessary binaries. [20:55] thats the only real option for what you're asking [20:55] mir fehlt der syscall.h header, in welchem packet ist der denn enthalten? [20:56] escott: i'm under the strong impression they need read access [20:56] well ok. in general i need to run a program in a way it cannot anyhow harm the system [20:56] I'd use a jail [20:56] linux-headers-2.6.32-33-generic ist zumindest installiert [20:56] zykotick9, it would be interesting to try and find out... but im not sure you would be able to figure out what was causing the completely broken session [20:56] Abrackadabra: You're pretty close to that with the default setup. If you want to be even more secure, stuff it into a chroot. [20:56] !de | x11 [20:56] x11: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

I've had to do it before I figured out how to fix my own wifi issues [21:05] trishxo: sudo apt-get purge packagename [21:05] purge all removed packages? [21:05] can someone explain to me how linux routes work? [21:05] trishxo: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P [21:06] !purge | trishxo [21:06] trishxo: To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg -P [21:06] Question - can anybody think why a software raid array would come up in gparted with 1 drive ntfs and 1 drive unknown when both should be unknown? [21:06] esuave: They work the same way as IP routing anywhere... try man route for how to configure them. [21:07] roasted: has the ntfs drive ever had ntfs on it ? [21:07] ikonia: never. [21:07] viktor133: Also, I'm not all that knowledgablbe with releases older than 8.04, so I'm sorry if I don't give a perfect answer [21:07] when I cd into a particular dir I get this: cd rails_projects/carls-sinatra-jruby-heroku\ / [21:07] tlhonmey: ok thanks [21:07] roasted: has the raid array been built yet ? [21:07] whats with the backslash? I've checked the file dir name and there definitely is no \ [21:07] ikonia: I was in gparted resizing an ntfs partition, but its on a separate drive. Afterwards gparted yielded the 1 TB drive as being ntfs [21:07] delinquentme: i think you have a space at the end of that name [21:07] roasted: is it software raid or fake raid / [21:07] delinquentme: It's escaping the space character. [21:08] tlhonmey, zykotick9 awesome :D [21:08] ikonia: Here's the story... 250gb W7 + Ubuntu Root, then 2x1TB /home raid mirror via mdadm. I deleted ubuntu root, expanded W7 across the entire 250gb drive, and added a 60gb SSD for Ubuntu root. Once done I popped in GParted and saw my one raid drive came up as NTFS and the other came up as unknown. However, both were a member of the raid array and the array was fine. [21:08] danileigh79, i didn't actually give specific release or even OS i think... [21:08] hello all, I'm installing ubuntu server to a old pentium 1 MMX 200mhz wth 128MB ram, which would be the best distu (i want to use it as a backup and local web dev server) latest u-server is i686 so my cpu cant run it :( [21:08] ikonia: the array was built about 6 months ago and had ran fine ever since. no issues. [21:08] so yeah... move the box i guess :p [21:08] viktor133: you said you're using Hardy, 8.04, right? [21:08] roasted: is the raid array currently running ? [21:09] danileigh79 yep [21:09] ikonia: I sincerely did NOT touch that drive in gparted, however I was doing work to the 250gb drive in gparted and it was on an ntfs drive. I just can't help but to wonder, by removing ubuntu root from the 250, is it possible the drive ID's got tangled up somehow and tagged the wrong drive? [21:09] viktor133: and I meant to say I'm not knowledgablle before 9.04, typo'd sorry [21:09] roasted: can you assemble and start thre raid array or is it refusing to start ? [21:09] ikonia: I ended up breaking open the array, formatting the "NTFS" drive and re-adding it. it's been syncing up this afternoon. [21:09] roasted, try running partprobe maybe the kernel is out of sync [21:09] file /usr/share/hardening-includes/hardening.make [21:09] ikonia: it always ran. it never stopped running. even when the drive was tagged as ntfs it ran fine [21:09] viktor133: who makes your wireless adapter? [21:10] ikonia: at least /proc/mdstat said it was. [21:10] roasted: interesting, never seen that behaviour beyond a user error (not suggesting thats what happened) [21:10] ^^ what is the bot command to find the package owning a file ? [21:10] tlhonmey: can i pm you about a few questions that are probably pretty easy for you? [21:10] ikonia: I'd like to think it was my fault, but I knew distinctly I was working in the 250gb drive (which is the only ntfs drive there) [21:10] orbisvicis, !find [21:10] escott: oh thanks [21:10] roasted: it's hard to debug now as you're "undone" the problem [21:10] !file /usr/share/hardening-includes/hardening.make [21:11] !find /usr/share/hardening-includes/hardening.make [21:11] File /usr/share/hardening-includes/hardening.make found in hardening-includes [21:11] ikonia: I hear ya. I began to wonder, instead of doing everything I did, I wonder if I could have gone in disk utility and just edited the partition type without formatting. I'm assuming you've noticed that feature in disk utility? [21:11] there are some things we could have tested/checked to get a better picture, [21:11] nothing definate, but certainly an idea [21:12] !cinnamon [21:14] danileigh79, brb phone [21:15] ikonia: when I saw that feature I thought, well, maybe since I removed Ubuntu root, the partition "stack" with the 3 drives just got mixed, so I thought maybe it traveled accidentally to the wrong drive even though the drive truly was not NTFS. After all, I tested it on my flash drive. I can format my flash drive to be EXT4 but set the partition label via disk utility to NTFS just fine. [21:15] We have other setup to do, I don't think I have time to use an alternative de or distro. So, I'm left with this issue: write an autoran script for all users, or all users from group x, on a Ubuntu system. This script needs to run gnome-panel, and enable alt+f2. [21:15] Oh I'm sorry [21:15] Wrong message [21:15] gnome2 : I want to run a script after login and de/wm have done their thing, for all users on that machine. Any idea where I can place this? I think rc.local will run for ttys and runs too early. [21:15] ikonia: granted, if I go in gparted, it doesn't show up as NTFS like I saw with the raid drive, but its still an odd feature I took notice of. It made me wonder if I could have just used disk utility to edit the RAID drive partition type and been back to normal without any issue. === sir_kaya is now known as Me [21:18] Hello everybody === Me is now known as Guest57816 [21:20] ciao a tutti [21:21] danileigh79, srr 'bout that, i think i need a new wireless adapter anyway, i failed to make WiFi work with the WiFi-card in this laptop, and the sitecom adaptop i just tried on this box with other os doesn't work with any computer [21:21] !list [21:21] No warez here!

[21:21] danileigh79 i mean i failed to use WiFi on this laptop with Hardy [21:21] hey guys [21:22] and the adaptop i have is probably broken [21:22] viktor133: Ok, sorry about that, but if you plug in, you can still upgrade, but going from 8.04 to 11.xx is gonna take quite a while... [21:22] hey need help :S can anyone explain me how i can install a webcam ? :D [21:22] Halo ask away [21:23] danileigh79, hehe, probably, even getting to meerkat would be nice, maybe even better, but i'll acquire booting problem for sure [21:23] Halo: For most of the ones that work, you plug it in. [21:23] Halo: i'd start by installing cheese and seeing if your webcam works there first [21:23] Halo: most work right out of the box, just need a webcam program [21:23] hm okay thanks [21:24] danileigh79 when trying to instal from a meerkat live cd i had to use the NOMODESET option, which got me further, but still not trough the set-up, so i don't know === ShKoDrAnI is now known as Guest41099 [21:24] viktor133: how old is the machine you're trying to install onto? [21:24] 2006 [21:25] viktor133: is it standalone ubuntu, or is there another side by side os? [21:26] right now, there is no os, it got deleted when i was attempting to install :p but it's ok, it was windoze ;) [21:26] viktor133: what happenes when installing? yo usay it doesn't finish [21:28] danileigh79, yes, when setting up, choosing keyboard lay-out, user name etc., it freezes at one point or another, i've been recommended to the altenative download (text based) [21:29] danileigh79 but that's not possible right now and i'd like to get it finished by tomorrow, so i'm installing hardy and i think i'm gonna proceed as you suggested [21:30] viktor133: good luck :) [21:30] danileigh79: i would use a server edition and then install a desktop after [21:30] danileigh79 thnks, and thnks for the help [21:30] Chipzzz: Huh?

[21:40] something is killing my ubuntu box - CPU1 running at mainly 100% - how do I find out what? [21:40] why doesn nspluginwrapper -l ever show my 32 bit version of libflashplayer.so ? [21:41] Al_nz1: open a terminal and type top [21:41] I'm building my first package, when I run debuild, at the very end, it tried to sign the .changes file. I have something like "You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for ...." but it never ask me for the passphrase. So when I try to upload the package, it fails saying the changes is not signed. [21:41] bytesaber_work, geegeegeegee babybabybaby [21:41] Any pointers? [21:41] qazokm, no korean pop right now [21:42] tlhonmey: looks like gnome-shell is [21:42] tlhonmey: dont I need gnome-shell? [21:43] !packaging | fairuz_ - this may have some information [21:43] fairuz_ - this may have some information: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [21:43] Al_nz1: I'm not sure. I don't have it in my list. [21:43] Al_nz1: Try killing it and see what goes away I guess... I'm not even finding what it is easily. [21:44] fairuz, do you have gpg installed (and have a gpg key)? [21:45] how would I remove gnome 3 without removing nautilus form ubuntu? [21:45] you can also run debsign to sign the changes/.dsc files [21:45] oliphant, you mean remove gnome-shell? [21:45] yes [21:45] dlentz: I follow the guide and uploaded my gpg key to the launchpad profile [21:45] oliphant: You would remove gnome 3 and install gnome 2. Don't expect it to be easy. [21:46] what happens when you run debsign (man debsign) [21:46] tlhonmey: much better - ta [21:46] yeats: That's what I follow right now [21:46] fairuz_: ok ;-) [21:46] gnome 3 is terrible waste [21:46] tlhonmey, you don't need gnome2 to use nautilus, unity uses it [21:46] what does it mean 1 running and unjoined [21:46] i try to start a program in my terminal and get [21:46] 1 running and unjoined [21:47] actually I want to get rid of Gnome altogether. Is it just sudo apt-get remove gnome-shell? [21:47] dlentz: ok. The last time I tried something like that it ended up installing most of gnome to meet dependencies. [21:47] oliphant: no. [21:47] unity+gnome 3 burns resources do you all agree? [21:47] oliphant: what environment do you want to run? [21:47] anao2: no polls please [21:47] dlentz: The .changes file is already signed.

[21:48] thanks [21:48] @Myrtti polls? what does it mean? [21:48] DonaldShimoda: Copy the contents of the old disks to the new ones will most likely suffice. [21:49] anao2: "do you all agree" [21:49] i don't understand why ubuntu developers forces users to buy new hardware with every release [21:49] !ot | anao2 [21:49] anao2: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [21:50] @Myrtti ok.. [21:50] tlhonmey, i need create a new raid with the new disks but how to copy the contents on a running server without lost data? [21:50] oliphant: I would consider installing with the mini.iso version of Ubuntu and just installing the packages you need from there [21:50] !mini | oliphant [21:50] oliphant: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:50] DonaldShimoda: Generally you shut down the server to avoid that. [21:51] tlhonmey, if i shutdown the server how will have access to my data? === Guest59690 is now known as faitz [21:51] oliphant: probably easier (and definitely cleaner) than installing the full version and trying to subtract [21:51] tlhonmey, sorry for ask, i dont follow how to do this [21:51] DonaldShimoda: You boot it up on a separate medium like a live CD. [21:51] thanks yeats and ubottu. [21:51] tlhonmey, i dont know how to mount my arrays botting from a live cd [21:51] any tutto? [21:53] DonaldShimoda: Unfortunately that's going to depend on how they're set up... But, theoretically you could unplug the drives from the server, plug them into a different machine, along with the new drives, and use dd to copy everything from the old ones to the new ones. [21:53] DonaldShimoda: can you afford downtime? if so, you might investigate clonezilla [21:54] what IRC client do you guys use? [21:54] DonaldShimoda: clonezilla is a good option if it will handle your raid setup. [21:54] tlhonmey, i plan to do on the same server, justa dd the new disks, make a new raid and copy the info [21:54] tlhonmey, great! Will find it [21:54] yeats, btw, thank you too [21:54] DonaldShimoda: do you have a hardware raid controller? Or is it software? [21:54] DonaldShimoda: sure ;-) [21:54] ztag100: What irc client do you use? [21:54] ztag100: do you want an answer from all 1594 people here? :P poll in #ubuntu-bots, there is a bot there with people's votes on programs [21:54] tlhonmey, software raid [21:55] tlhonmey, linux controlled [21:55] DonaldShimoda: ok, so you should be able to just tell clonezilla not to worry about the raid and just copy the contents of the devices across. [21:56] DonaldShimoda: It will save you possibly some time over dd since it'll only copy the used sectors. [21:56] tlhonmey, really? but i have three partitions inside the raid [21:56] what will do, expand the size or dont? [21:56] DonaldShimoda: ... Actually it probably won't since it'll only have parts of the filesystem on each disk... [21:57] DonaldShimoda: So it won't be able to figure out what's used, so it'll just use dd... [21:58] DonaldShimoda: If it can parse the filesystem, it simply skips copying sectors that aren't in use. The partition sizes come out the same, but you don't have to copy all the zeros that you don't care about. [21:59] can resize later? [21:59] DonaldShimoda: But that probably won't work where it won't have the filesystem information easily available since it's split across two disks. [21:59] DonaldShimoda: Yes. [22:00] DonaldShimoda: Are you using the raid for your general filesystem? Or for something specific? [22:00] tlhonmey, / /home and swap :( [22:00] Hello [22:01] DonaldShimoda: You're probably going to have to fire up a live CD then. [22:01] Hi [22:02] DonaldShimoda: The program to assemble the raid from the live cd will be mdadm. I'm not sure where it stores the settings for what you have now. [22:05] does anyone know how to set my display to be a remote location? [22:05] Dioxin: what do you mean ? [22:05] Hi, when I try to open Muon (using KDE) I get this: "Ejecutable: muon-installer PID: 7503 Señal: Segmentation fault (11)". Any idea? [22:05] export DISPLAY=192.168.0.8:0.0 ; gedit fails [22:05] Dioxin: define "fails" [22:06] on the 192.168.0.8 box I've done "xhost +" [22:06] Dioxin: define "fails" [22:06] cannot open display [22:06] Dioxin: You may need to tell the X server on the remote machine to bind to the network interface. I don't believe it is by default. === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [22:07] tlhonmey: Where do I find this? [22:07] hey people [22:07] tlhonmey: really ? it should be running on the network by default [22:07] Dioxin: disable ubuntu firewall [22:07] can anyone tell me the permissions on their /etc folder (or any folder in root), I'm seeing a lock on all of them in nautilus [22:08] Afzal: what are your permissions [22:08] Afzal: ls -l /etc [22:08] root:root 755 I believe (rwx,rx,rx) [22:08] I'm getting this problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/854609/ [22:08] Afzal: ok, so you should be able to see into /etc [22:09] hey. compiz grid doesn't work at all. is there a fix? [22:09] firewall disabled and still no go, how do I bind to the network? [22:09] ikonia, I am, I just dislike the lock icon there. [22:09] Afzal: so, just so I'm clear, you want to change the permissions of the core configuration directory of you system as you don't like the padlock icon ? [22:10] Dioxin: I'm not sure... [22:10] fresh install and ccsm installed and checked that the grid is turned on [22:10] Afzal: The lock is because it's owned by root. I don't recommend changing that... [22:10] Canadian1296, is the lock present on your computer? I thought it wasn't there before I installed kubuntu in another partition and mounted this drive there [22:10] Canadian1296: No, the lock is because it's not writable for the user [22:11] hi all. does anyone know how i can specify a specific source when upgrading a package using apt-get? [22:11] Dioxin: Crazy thought... It might work to use the ssh X11 forwarding to forward the display the way you want, and then have your second ssh session use the first session's display for its output. [22:11] geirha: So like I said. Owned by root, he doesn't have permission to write. [22:11] geirha, is right...but iirc, it wasn't writable before either :/ I just wanna know if the lock is there by default [22:11] Afzal: Yes the lock is there. [22:12] tlhonmey: you lost me [22:12] Canadian1296, alright, just making sure. I made a lot of big changes to the system (moved /home into its own partition etc) [22:12] Dioxin: You could also use screen to ssh -X from the machine you want the program to show up on, and then ssh into that machine from the one you want to control from and reconnect to the screen session. [22:12] Canadian1296, ikonia, geirha : thanks :) [22:12] i'm doing this right now, and fairly confused. i pipe the output of a python file to xargs wget [22:13] tlhonmey: I dont think that will work from my setup :( [22:13] the output is of the form "--output-document=/mydir/myfilexxx.log http://blah/blah/url" [22:13] Dioxin can you connect from the controller machine to the output machine and from the output machine to the running machine? If so it should work, you just might have to install screen. [22:14] however wget just uses one of the outputdocument [22:14] Dioxin: Just tested it. It should work. [22:16] pr0ton: because xargs run wget --output-document=foo http://foo --output-document=blah http://blah --output-doc... and each subsequent --output-document just overides the previous. [22:17] http://dark-core.org/ < neues Forum, jeder ist willkommen! (German) [22:17] please can anyone tell why isn't my compiz grid working [22:17] Dioxin: install screen and openssh-server on the display machine. Then you can run screen and from the screen session ssh -X into the running machine. Then you can ssh from the control machine into the display machine and screen -x to connect to the ssh session. [22:18] I think the issue is that my X is running with -nolisten :( [22:18] pr0ton: if the output contains one such set per line, then use a while read loop. while read -ra line; do wget "${line[@]}"; done < <(command that outputs these lines) === iqpi|off is now known as iqpi|on [22:26] exit [22:27] 7 minutes without a question, that must be a record [22:27] ThomasBoxley must mean *buntu is working!

[22:34] juts testign the irc colors [22:34] does anybody know how to get permissions from the live cd [22:34] on xchat [22:34] Admin_User, you install the additions (drivers) in the guest Os [22:34] !karmic [22:34] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://ubottu.com/y/karmic for details. [22:34] pulse00: using debdeb on ubuntu is a bad idea. [22:34] s/debdeb/dotdeb/ [22:35] where i have to set my message colors on x chat ? [22:35] zykotick9: do you have any idea how to install php 5.3.8 on ubuntu 10.04 ? [22:35] otaviobarreto: do that elsewhere like /join #otaviobarreto [22:35] pulse00: nope, sorry. [22:35] what ? [22:35] zykotick9: thx anyway [22:35] otaviobarreto: this is not a place to be testing things out. it's a support channel. [22:37] am going to install ubuntu 9.10 am downloading it right know so if I want to update it to 10.04 how should I do it or it wont update it to 10.04 only 11.10 or something am I saying that right [22:37] Admin_User: Why 9.10? [22:37] Admin_User: Yeah, why not just download 10.04 LTS instead? [22:38] where did you find that download ? [22:38] Because I want to know what am delling with start up slow I guest [22:38] Admin_User: if anything, you'll be creating yourself more confusion by doing so [22:39] Admin_User: If you're looking for stability use 10.04 LTS. [22:39] can i repack a driver from puppy linux then use it in ubuntu? [22:39] Dioxin: Ok, I'll make a note of that. [22:39] Ya I know that but am just going to use it on my virtual machine what is so wrong just going up little steps for a change I guest [22:40] Admin_User: You'll just confuse yourself by stepping up one release at a time. Pick the one you want and just use it. [22:40] tipe some if i see the coloer is working [22:41] can unity do something like Expose in Mac os X or when you press SUPER in Gnome 3? [22:41] Okay Am going to install 10.04 [22:41] Admin_User: oh yeah I suppose that's fine then, but it's still a little goofy :) [22:41] hello some one [22:41] Hiob: not by default, but you can always tweak it [22:41] otaviobarreto greetings [22:41] type some just for teste here [22:42] if my irc color si rigth configuraded [22:42] Hiob like win + s ? [22:42] !test|otaviobarreto [22:42] otaviobarreto: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [22:42] can i use a driver from puppy linux? [22:42] am going to install ubuntu as a dual boot so I can use windows and ubuntu if I fell like it so I guest am going to be using 11.10 [22:42] NyLes: Definite Maybe. [22:43] @ Oer not realy, i want so have just one destop [22:43] tlhonmey: how will i do it? [22:43] NyLes: But what driver is included in a minimal distro like Puppy that's not installed in Ubuntu? [22:43] Hi - QQ: I'm trying to checkout openssl from launchpad, but `bzr checkout lp:openssl` doesn't work. lp:openssl/trunk and lp:~vcs-imports/openssl/trunk also don't work. [22:43] (new the bzr so please excuse me if it's something basic) [22:44] tlhonmey: soundcard driver.. Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM Ac'97 [22:44] s/new the/new to/ [22:44] how do I change the boot screen? [22:45] phpn00b: the splash loader? [22:45] NyLes: How do you know that it's a driver issue? [22:45] Hiob: something like that? http://goo.gl/gSVvX [22:46] NyLes: I would be highly surprised if that one wasn't included in Ubuntu... [22:46] aplay -l results with no soundcard found.. while lspci displays my soundcard [22:46] yes [22:46] aloha I have a question [22:46] if anyone can help [22:46] phpn00b: the animated screen during startup? Or another screen? [22:46] Qactis ask away [22:47] Hiob: you can configure it in compiz or in ubuntu-tweak [22:47] Am going to be installing 11.10 on my virtual machine so if I want to install the Guest OS Drivers How should I do it first. [22:47] hello! how'd you guys wget all of http://www.awesometapes.com/ and http://moroccantapestash.blogspot.com/ into an organized collection? wget -mk -w 3 http://awesometapes.com oughta work right? but no! [22:47] I am dualbooting ubuntu and xp. more recently have been seeing http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16496280/Photos/ScreenShots/Screenshot91.png this in my network connections [22:47] Am going to be installing 11.10 on my virtual machine so if I want to install the Guest OS Drivers How should I do it first. [22:47] Admin_User: You have to install the OS first [22:47] tlhonmey: but i think it isn't or the alsa in ubuntu is so up-to-date xD [22:47] it's sending and receiving the majority of packets and raping my internet connection in windows [22:47] does ubuntu server allow for a gui? [22:47] Admin_User how to is in the virtual box help menu [22:47] chipotle yes, you have to install one though [22:48] thank you [22:48] NyLes: Ok, well linux drivers are generally kernel modules. It will probably work to get the source for the kernel module that puppy linux is using to run the card, compile, and install it on your system. [22:48] i just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 on my server. when i ssh in i still get: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Welcome to Ubuntu! [22:48] /etc/issue shows 10.10 [22:48] NyLes: Where they keep the source and how to tell which one you need is more a question for the Puppy people. [22:48] what generates the login message? [22:48] tlhonmey: can i just recompile it using the puppy linux live cd? [22:48] nevermind, /etc/motd [22:49] NyLes: Most of the sound issues I've had with Ubuntu though have been ALSA related, not driver related though... Run a web search on your card and see if anyone else has solved the problem in an easier manner. [22:49] NyLes: Puppy linux live cds don't include source. [22:49] is there some way to check that dependencies are met for a .deb I downloaded *without* installing ?? [22:49] tlhonmey: thanks so much.. [22:49] Hello. If I already have an SSH server running on my home computer, do I need an FTP server as well? I am using WinSCP to connect to my server and it seems to work as an FTP server as well. Am I missing something? [22:49] anyway my question was whether that is a problem related to Ubuntu or is it winblows being a faggot [22:50] orbisvicis: Yes but I cant remember how [22:50] StevenX: No, sftp works via ssh alone [22:50] Qactis: Language [22:50] NyLes: I think there is a channel here for Puppy, they might be able to help you find out which module you need. [22:50] wget -m -A mp3 http://awesometapes.com oughta work right? but no! [22:50] is it --simulate [22:50] i found an installed pieace of software with this command: dpkg -l | grep 'openerp' any chance i can locate the filesystem or be able to place an icon in the gui? [22:51] I've tried it but I'm not sure its checked the dependencies because it doesn print "reading the database.." and its really fast [22:51] Canadian1296: is it --simulate [22:51] martian, thank you. [22:51] dpkg --simulate [22:51] tlhonmey: there is? ok i'll look for it.. [22:51] what is that? [22:51] NyLes: If not, check their forums. They're pretty helpful. [22:51] Qactis, http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/8232-43-where-linux-connection-from [22:51] orbisvicis: That rings a bell, try dpkg --help and it should tell you what simulate does. [22:52] My work computer is rejecting most outbound connections, so I wanted to run my ssh server on port 80, since that would be open. However, I am still not able to connect to my home server through ssh evenwhen it is listening on port 80. Am I doing something wrong? It seems that port 80 should allow my connection through. [22:52] Qactis: That entry is Windows detecting the Linux machine as a router. If the network is still working, feel free to ignore it. [22:52] StevenX: Are you firewalled? [22:52] --simulate or --dry-run should work [22:53] no it's destroying the windows network [22:53] StevenX: ssh uses SSL. Put it on port 443 instead of 80 and the firewall won't be able to tell the difference between it and a connection to an ssl site. [22:53] Is there a way to install Debian over Ubuntu without losing all my documents? [22:53] Canadian1296, yes, both my home server and home computer are on firewall. [22:53] tlhonmey, I will do that, thank you. [22:53] is runuser avail on ubuntu or is that selinux [22:53] cheapie: no [22:53] cheapie: save your /home and your config files [22:53] lol can't even load the link [22:53] cheapie if you /home is in a separate partition, maybe [22:53] because internet [22:54] Qactis: Windows is probably trying to route its traffic through Linux then... I'm not quite sure how to fix that unfortunately... [22:54] cheapie: My suggestion is back them up to an external drive before installing [22:54] neither am I [22:54] CFHowlett & Canadian1296: Thanks! I'll try that. [22:54] Qactis: Firewall your linux install so it won't let Windows talk to it might do it. [22:55] let's try that [22:55] Qactis: And make sure you're not running a DHCP server on the linux machine. [22:55] Ubuntu for Android information is a little thin on the ground. I am directed here for further discussion?! [22:56] windows uses a usb adapter since the drivers only work for windows, and linux is using a pci wireless adapter since linux picks it up and I can't find its drivers in windows [22:56] I think that's what the problem is [22:56] HonestFlames try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:56] how can i know the alsas version? [22:57] HonestFlames, also #ubuntu-phone [22:58] Qactis: The part that doesn't make sense is why Windows even knows Linux exists when they're not running at the same time... [22:59] Thanks, guys. [22:59] Hi, I am interesting in Ubuntu for Android and well also helping it in development. [22:59] I am hosting a friends site for him on my server. How can I allow him to log in and edit his files without letting him touch the rest of the server? Like FTP only more secure. [22:59] Graham1 try #ubuntu-phone [22:59] Canadian1296: ssh / scp [22:59] what other ways are there to stop a process besides kill ? kill variations are not working - in 11.04? [22:59] Ah Thanks. The response email didn't tell me about that channel. [23:00] Graham1, good luck [23:00] chalcedony: kill sends a signal. The default is term, which asks it to quit nicely. If that doesn't work, -9 is kill, which will yank the rug out from under it. [23:00] ikonia: Yes, but he doesn't know how to use either. Is there a web based interface I can let him log in with to do it? [23:00] Canadian1296: I wouldn't advise that as you wanted secure [23:00] tlhonmey, that's what i thought. it's not working [23:00] Canadian1296: most content managed based systems will allow it though [23:01] tlhonmey, I changed the server to port 443 but still didn't go through. [23:01] ikonia: Okay what about sftp? I don't know how to set it up but im sure I could figure it out. [23:01] Canadian1296: do it then [23:01] ikonia: Would it let him use an FTP client to modify the files? [23:01] is nodev and nosuid advisable for / in fstab? (how about for /home)? [23:01] Canadian1296: no, it would allow him to use an sftp client [23:01] does ubuntu support afp? [23:02] both are ext4 [23:02] StevenX: can you get to https://duckduckgo.com/ from your work machine? [23:02] ikonia: Obviously, but GUI rather than CLI correct? [23:02] Canadian1296: depends on the client [23:02] has somebody a macbook and get click & drag working? [23:02] Canadian1296: if you have an sftp gui client, sure [23:03] Canadian1296: filezilla supports sftp. [23:03] ikonia tlhonmey: thanks [23:04] check this out http://soundcloud.com/haukeland [23:04] tlhonmey: do you think it has something to do with the alsa version? [23:04] public service radio for haukeland university hospital, norway [23:05] muzone, why paste that here [23:05] tlhonmey, yes, I can connect to that website from work. [23:06] i looked from gconf-editor and it says "This key as no schema" in compiz-1/screen0/options [23:06] NyLes: That is the most common cause of sound issues I [23:06] 've found. [23:06] that's why my compiz shortcuts is not working? [23:06] tlhonmey: thanks.. [23:06] StevenX: Ok, so the work firewall isn't blocking outbound ssl, it's got to be somewhere else. [23:06] anyone able to tell me how to rip a multi cd title http://paste.ubuntu.com/854638/ , cause i'm about to give up [23:07] NyLes: That's a fairly common card, you should probably check the Ubuntu forums if you haven't already, there may be a solution posted. [23:07] tlhonmey: ok thanks.. [23:07] recon_tv soundjuicer was dropped from ubuntu repos for a reason. consider brasero. [23:08] StevenX: can you connect to your home machine from somewhere other than work? [23:08] recon_tv actually not braser ... wait 1 [23:08] tlhonmey, Yes. I used my cell phone as a router so that I could be outside the server's LAN and was able to connect. [23:08] Hello. I installed Ubuntu Oneiric, and now everytime my audio volume is set to 100 % when I log in, no matter what I select in lightdm’s login screen. Any idea how to fix this? [23:09] recon_tv see software center search for cd ripper === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [23:09] with xmodmap is there a way to bind a single key to shift-insert? [23:10] StevenX: hmmm... Perhaps the work firewall filters based on IP or DNS name or something... [23:11] StevenX: Can you ssh to other places from work? [23:12] what is the default kernel in ubuntu 11.1x? [23:12] tlhonmey, I havent tried. I don't have any other ssh server to connect to. [23:12] chipotle: 3 [23:12] vlt I could give you a hack... but... don't know the proper way to address it. [23:12] !info linux | chipotle [23:12] chipotle: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.0.16.19 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 36 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) [23:12] tlhonmey, I do use a host name from "*.myftp.org" [23:12] hello guys when I type in my browser localhost I get it works! but I wonder where that page is allocated so I could install more pages in that directory does anybody know? [23:12] maybe they can block the word FTP? === histo1 is now known as histo [23:13] I have made a copy of /bin/bash, and i'm trying to make it suid root, but i'm failing. chown /bin/dodgybash root.root;chmod 4755 /bin/dodgybash should do it i thought/ [23:13] hi guys, is it possible to run ubuntu within ubuntu? [23:13] oooaaaooo: what ? [23:13] oooaaaooo, with vbox if you must [23:13] yes chroot or in a virtual maschine [23:13] oooaaaooo: yes [23:13] oooaaaooo: In virtualbox yes [23:14] what options do i have without virtual box [23:14] Chroot [23:15] you can debootstrap and chroot [23:15] oooaaaooo: kvm is an alternative to vbox, but it's a lot more complicated to use (and requires your CPU to support virtualization) [23:15] oooaaaooo: [23:15] great , so the answer is to install different cd rippers till i find one that works [23:15] recon_tv: if you're comfortable in command line, abcde is amazing [23:16] ok is there a way to have multiple IP addresses associated with one machine other than virtualbox? [23:16] well, asunder not ver good so far, i try abcde zykotick9 [23:16] multiple nics [23:17] virtual nics... but... I am not sure how effective they will be depending on what you want them for. [23:17] eth0:1 etc [23:17] is there any guidelines for wt library 2011 on ubuntu? === iqpi|on is now known as iqpi|off [23:18] Hey all [23:18] I just got done download the ubuntu 11.10 amd64 going to install it on virtual box who is going to cher me on give me Ubuntu [23:19] L3top: i am using a device simulator that has an IP address to test an application over my network; problem is I need to test 2 devices at the same time over the network and I only have one test machine [23:19] CRipley@spi-ind.com [23:19] use 2 nics [23:19] oooaaaooo: IP alias? [23:19] L3top: What would you do to fix the audio volume setting? [23:20] orlok: ill look it up [23:20] that is a 7 dollar solution... or masquerading... but... if you are trying to do dev work on multiple devices... simultaniously... I would use two nics. [23:20] virtual nics and IP aliases [23:20] How do i create a shell script that executes as root regardless of who runs it? [23:20] hello guys when I type in my browser localhost I get it works! but I wonder where that page is allocated so I could install more pages in that directory does anybody know? [23:20] well, seems that ubuntu community don't use multi track cd's any more [23:21] or multi cd titles i mean [23:21] vlt: edit /etc/init.d/alsa-mixer-save and enter amixer set Master 50% before the exit 0. [23:21] but that is a total hack. [23:21] or whatever % you want it at [23:21] L3top: its more portability than cost. It is running on my netbook so i can move around easily [23:21] hi I am using ubuntu Natty. If I install glib-2.31 the network location menu entry in places doesn't work [23:21] ah... [23:22] virtual nics and masquerade... but there is a small learning curve. [23:22] I would go buy a usb nic [23:22] lol [23:22] SmashingX: Have you checked /var/www? [23:23] that's what Im doing thanks! [23:23] L3top: The “master” volume in alsamixer doesn’t seem to affect the actual speaker volume controlled in the upper right volume icon. [23:24] SmashingX: If not there, try the htdocs subdirectory of your apache installation dir. [23:24] Hmm. I cant seem to make a suid root copy of bash [23:24] L3top: None of the alsamixer sliders moves when I change the icon’s volume. [23:25] how are you connecting to the sound source? [23:25] glen_3b: I wonder what's wrong because Im installign Drupal but I can't see it from localhost [23:25] orlok, i don't think it is possible unless you add each user in /etc/sudoers file. The script will request the user's password when it runs. [23:25] I see the it works! page but I can't see the drupal pages [23:25] hello [23:26] L3top: The source is pulseaudio, right? [23:26] gkaklas: it should be quite easily, by setting the sticky bit and ownership to root [23:26] gkaklas: completely bypassing sudo [23:26] vlt: Meaning is it an analog cable, hdmi, d [23:26] hell can anyone one tell me why ubuntu 11.10 64bit hangs on install [23:27] hallo!!! [23:27] SmashingX: you've copied the drupal files to wherever your webpages are (htdocs or /var/www)? [23:27] orlok: Is there a particular reason you're wanting to bypass security in that manner? There might well be a better solution... [23:27] yeah, I will find out though, do you know how can I acces phpmyadmin though? [23:27] tlhonmey: yes, there is - purely to test whether the security auditing software i have installed will pick it up. [23:27] come funziona? [23:28] SmashingX: generally localhost/phpmyadmin [23:28] ok [23:28] hmmm [23:28] Not Found :( [23:28] by sound source I mean the device physically producing audio (desktop speakers, tv, amp) [23:28] probably it's not installed [23:29] hi, can someone recommend a ripping application that can take mts streams (1080p, HD Audio content) and let me make a nice rip of it into mkv file or similar? [23:29] I managed to get Ubutnu boots in less than 10 seconds :-) [23:29] SmashingX: oh... :( try copying the phpmyadmin directory to /var/www or htdocs and trying again [23:30] glen_3b: Ok let me try thanks! [23:30] tlhonmey: Its funny, it was originally intended to be a 30 second test, bow i'm trying to figure out whats causing something i was sure was tricial to do to not work [23:30] L3top: Aah, ok. The speakers are connected to the IEC958 (S/PDIF) output. [23:30] SmashingX: Always glad to help fellow ubuntu users! [23:30] glen [23:30] there is no volume control for digital sound [23:30] it is either on or off [23:31] there is something there! [23:31] the sound source controls volume [23:31] L3top: The slider in the audio icon works fine. [23:31] someone for the the love of god help me install this thingg [23:31] glen_3b: thanks very kind person, I always have trouble hehe everyday I come up with a question [23:31] hehe [23:31] L3top: I just always have to reduce the volume from 100 % after lgging in. [23:31] SmashingX: :) I'm always glad to help! [23:32] salutos [23:32] phpn00b: which ssd? [23:33] orlok: I see. Good test. [23:33] orlok, setting the sticky bit allows a user to execute a script as the current user, not the root itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit#Usage. I haven't tried it, did it work for you? [23:33] afk [23:34] gkaklas: I have set perms to 4755, it should execute as the owner. [23:34] gkaklas: i also noticed nosuid on the / filesystem [23:34] but thats not it [23:34] the copy of bash has the same permissions as su now heh [23:36] Hi [23:36] How do i run a program from the terminal i forgot how to :P [23:37] d4rkgazio: type its name [23:37] yeah [23:37] the program is start.sh [23:37] i need to run it through putty on shh server [23:37] d4rkgazio: The current directory isn't on the path by default on linux. specify it with ./ [23:38] d4rkgazio: then ensure it's marked executable and run it. If it is in the pwd then you will need to run: ./start.sh [23:38] so I don't need 64-bit Ubuntu to use all 8 GB of my RAM? [23:38] kismet: no, just pae. [23:38] kismet: technically you can use PAE and access 64Gb in 32bit [23:38] kismet: however each process will be limited to 3.2Gb maximmum RAM [23:39] Is there another reason to use 64-bit Ubuntu? A little extra processor power with 64-bit apps? [23:39] how can i use lpr * to print without got problems with de docs [23:39] kismet: PAE is a "hack" that slows your system down by a few percent all the time [23:39] kismet: on heavy processing jobs I notice a 30-50% speed boost with 64 bit. [23:39] kismet: media encoding is generally faster on 64bit [23:39] kismet: heavy processor usage data transfoms, like audio and video encoding benefit from 64bit [23:40] orlok, didn't know about suid... Isn't that kinda dangerous? [23:40] gkaklas: yes [23:40] gkaklas: Yes.. thats the point! [23:40] kismet: if you have a 64bit CPU and more than 3Gb RAM then go 64bit :) [23:40] hi [23:40] gkaklas: he's testing his security auditing system. [23:40] Ok. How the hell is su working. [23:40] how do i make a super users password? === pedro_ is now known as Guest75853 [23:41] i forgot how :\ [23:41] orlok: the root account is disabled [23:41] if / is mounted nosuid, how does su escelate me to root [23:41] !noroot | d4rkgazio [23:41] ActionParsnip, tlhonmey, zykotick9 thanks for the info! Look out 64-bit, here I come [23:41] d4rkgazio: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [23:41] orlok: use: sudo -i instead [23:41] orlok: if you add a username after su then you will need that users password to switch to that use [23:41] r [23:42] ActionParsnip: I'm not using su. [23:42] curious does anybody know who the major companies are for networking devices/software. I know cisco but is their any other major competitors ? [23:42] zykotick9: PAE doesn't make memory access any slower than it is on a 64 bit machine. [23:42] hello [23:42] orlok: orlok> Ok. How the hell is su working. [23:42] ActionParsnip: I'm looking to execute a shell using the suid bit set so i can test whether the package ossec actually picks it up as being installed. [23:42] motherbrain - adtran has some good offerings [23:42] orlok: looks like it.. [23:42] I am looking to know the breakdown of the internet is it like 75% cisco or what [23:42] tlhonmey: the overhead of PAE is what causes the few % slowdown [23:42] oh nm [23:42] motherbrain: I'd ask in ##networking [23:43] because I have to say every major network I have seen is cisco or use mostly cisco based machines [23:43] motherbrain: this is ubuntu support [23:43] Ok I will try their [23:43] ActionParsnip: I mean, specifically, if / is mounted nosuid, and a suid root copy of bash fails to execute as root, how can a suid copy of su escalate me to root [23:43] zykotick9: yes, and that overhead is the same on 64-bit. The only difference is that you don't get the speed boost from being 64 bit. === awolfson_ is now known as awolfson [23:44] tlhonmey: ahhh, no. === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu [23:44] hello? [23:44] how to disable guest account in oneiric? it doesn't seem to have a button for that in user management ui [23:45] anyone can help me to use lpr comand [23:45] i am having issues installing ubuntu anyone it wont run the installer [23:45] when i try to print de docs .jpg dont print correctly [23:46] arthur [23:46] can anybody tell me which network manager package that doesnt net internet access [23:46] yes? [23:46] me too [23:46] it seems to acknowledge the cd but wont go anyfurther [23:47] does to stop spinning the cd [23:47] ima li ovde neko iz Srbije ? [23:47] comepletly [23:47] Pikkachu: you can dissable it in lightdm.conf [23:47] and freeze [23:47] i cannot hear any spinning [23:48] orlok: not sure dude, not thought of that tbh [23:48] Arthur__: and nothing else boots up? [23:48] no it has a line about the copyright and that is it [23:48] Arthur__: how old is this machine? [23:48] ae fuck you,good night [23:48] jjebite se [23:48] my laptop is anbout a year old [23:49] nista vas ne razumem [23:49] I'm now using the classic gnome desktop since last login ... how to make permenent on 11.10? [23:50] could it be an issue with compatability? [23:50] newmar, did you try the -l switch? [23:50] is nodev and nosuid advisable for / in fstab? (how about for /home)? (both are ext4) [23:51] Afzal: I was just trying to figure out how the hell things were working with nosuid [23:51] Afzal: How does su work. [23:51] I've just installed a patched GTK+ package from source in order to fix a crash, and, having restarted my machine, the GTK theme doesn't load. Have I missed something in the config somewhere? [23:51] kc4zvw_: there is a guide on omgubuntu how to hack the OS to look like Gnome2, I suggest you just install xfce4 and use XFCE session, it feels and smells a lot like Gnome2 [23:51] orlok, what do you mean? just run sudo su [23:51] Andy80: Definitely not. nosuid on / will break sudo, su, and any other utility that needs to be setuid root. [23:51] Arthur__: hmmm... Some bios chips don't like the bootloader on the installer... But it's mostly older ones. [23:51] Afzal: i dont mean "how do i use it" i mean, how does it work. [23:51] Afzal: sudo -i is more advised. [23:51] o.O Jordan_U thanks lol :) [23:52] Afzal: You're welcome. [23:52] i got it to work [23:52] ActionParsnip, note taken [23:52] orlok: your session and environment variables become that of the user you su to [23:52] Arthur__: Might also be a damaged instaler CD. [23:52] arthur [23:52] i know my i redownloaded it like three times [23:52] Arthur__: Did you check the md5sum of the CD? [23:52] gkaklas, whats means -l? [23:52] no [23:52] !md5 | Arthur__ [23:52] Arthur__: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [23:52] try [23:52] running [23:53] f6 [23:53] Afzal: if / is mounted nosuid, and su is suit.. how does su work [23:53] Jordan_U, does a lock emblem show up for you in / for all folders in nautilus? It's bugging me even though the permissions/owner are correct [23:53] nomodest [23:53] I am having issues with connecting 2 Ubuntu computers on my home network. I have Samba on both machines, the machines can see each other (I can remote desktop share) but I can not see one computer file system from the other via mautilus, any suggestions? [23:53] orlok, never played with partition permissions...so I have no idea [23:53] Afzal: No. [23:54] bjolders: start by seeing if you can ping one machine from the other. [23:54] bjrohan: if you run: smbtree do you see the shares you setup? [23:54] i am about to do that is there anyway to test the bios because this is a limited run laptop i think they only sold it on black friday and it was dumb cheap [23:54] Jordan_U, any clue where I should look? fstab looks fine (noatime, errors=remount-ro). It's driving me nuts :/ [23:54] Afzal: No I don't. Sorry. [23:54] bjrohan: if the systems can desktop share then the 2 systems are connected to the network [23:54] Jordan_U, alright np [23:55] newmar, the manpage says "Specifies that the print file is already formatted for the destination and should be sent without filtering." (usage: "lpr -l file") [23:55] Arthur__: Can you boot from any other CD? Can you boot from a USB drive? [23:55] Arthur__: That might well be your problem... Will it boot from a USB? That might be the easy workaround. [23:55] ActionParsnip could you remind me how I copy and paste on here to show you what I see vis smbtree [23:55] i would have to find a flash drive [23:55] paste | bjolders [23:55] !paste [23:55] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:56] but would it not be the same file on a cd or flash? [23:56] Question - I set my resolution to something my TV hates. It just responded with "no input". Once I log in I lose the interface. What can I do? [23:56] Arthur__: barring that, it nearly always works to stick the drive in a different machine to install, and then put it back in the original. [23:56] gkaklas, thanks [23:57] stick the hard drive in another machine? [23:57] ActionParsnip - Here is what I get when I enter smbtree \\BROHAN-DESKTOP is the desktop I am trying to connect to, BJROHAN-MM061 is the laptop I am currently on. http://paste.ubuntu.com/854741/ [23:57] Arthur__: yep. It's my usual trick of last resort when I can't get the installer to boot. [23:58] When I ran smbtree, BROHAN-DESKTOP entry appeared quickly, my laptop entry took about 30 seconds. Odd since I am on my laptop @ ActionParsnips [23:58] bjrohan: did you setup shares on the desktop? What OS is the desktop running? [23:58] i will have to learn that i am teaching myself to do this [23:58] Arthur__: Don't install restricted drivers or anything until you put the drive back in the original machine though, or you can break things horribly and have to start over. [23:58] I had set up shares on the desktop, it is running Ubuntu 11.10 [23:59] last time i took a laptop apart it broke the motherboard [23:59] <_Marcus> Hello. [23:59] From the desktop I can try to access the laptop in nautilus, when I go to browse network BJROHAN-MM061 shows up, but I can not access it [23:59] Arthur__: removing the drive is usually just an access panel. [23:59] Arthur__, heh, I took my laptop apart to put on some paste on the GPU...had to take EVERYTHING apart
