[00:00] bjrohan: if you run: smbtree on the desktop, do you see the shares as your laptop showed it's shares [00:00] bjrohan: can you please prefix the texts to me with my nick, its easier to spot replies [00:00] Arthur__: You might try the install CDs for a couple of different distros first, and try making a bootable USB device. some of them use different bootloaders. [00:01] test [00:01] bjrohan: use TAB to autocomplete nicks [00:01] !test | alejandro [00:01] alejandro: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [00:01] i have a class and they are teaching ubuntu so i was going to use the same thing on my machine for now [00:01] #test [00:02] <_Marcus> alejandro: Ubottu mean's the channel. [00:03] thanks for the help i will play with it and see what is the issue [00:03] Arthur__: well, try making a bootable USB, that might fix it. If that doesn't work, removing the drive is usually only a couple of screws. [00:04] ActionParsnip: here is what I get running smbtree from the desktop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854747/ [00:04] ActionParsnip: thanks for the tab trick [00:04] how to disable recent files tracking? [00:05] bjrohan: tab works in cli too :) [00:05] bjrohan: ok, did you configure the local firewalls on the systems at all? [00:06] Actually not the one on my laptop, how do I do that? [00:06] I heard someone in here was pirating the latest ubuntu, if this is true please cut it out. [00:06] ActionParsnip: thanks for the guest tip [00:06] hi, i need to uninstall a builded kernel, or avoid dkms to build modules for it [00:06] çhow to do? [00:06] is a own builded kernel, not ubuntu kernel [00:06] ActionParsnip: actually not on my laptop, how do I do that? [00:06] Does anyone here use fail2ban? I can figure out if I have if configured right for my ssh server. [00:06] DonaldShimoda: Try make uninstall in the source directory and see what it does. [00:06] bjrohan: but you configured it on the desktop? === max is now known as Guest56016 [00:07] tlhonmey, make uninstall do nothing [00:07] tlhonmey, the problem is now fglrx package failed to install because cannot build with 3.2 .... [00:08] tlhonmey, anyway to exclude 3.2 from dkms (jockey)? [00:08] ActionParsnip: I believe so. I had access set up before, all worked well, then I did a few things on my laptop and lost connection for file sharing, so it must be that I did something on the laptop. I will google, and check laptop firewall settings [00:09] DonaldShimoda: I'm sure there is, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head. try man dkms. [00:09] bjolders: i'd look into the firewall [00:10] ok so im trying to kompile a kernel to have support for a serial IR port, what modules do i need? [00:10] Hi Guys [00:11] anyone around? [00:11] amaroks: nobody at all [00:11] amaroks no. [00:11] nice [00:11] amaroks, ubuntu support issue? [00:11] tlhonmey, uninstall -m -v ... how to know the module version... [00:11] Goodnight :D I was just trying out IRC on empathy [00:11] UnclNastyFingerz: I don't remember the names, but the ones that are available are labeled as such if you go through the options in make menuconfig. [00:12] someone says my name please [00:12] amaroks: [00:12] That is cool [00:12] nice notifications [00:12] I used ubuntu for 1 month [00:12] then back to windows because I needed photoshop [00:12] its on a KDE box obviously, hence the Kompiler if i were on gnome i would be using gCompiler [00:12] then I couldnt continue on windows! [00:12] missed back ubuntu [00:13] and this week Im back forever I guess [00:13] I felt locked in windows [00:13] amaroks, actual support question? [00:13] DonaldShimoda: I'm not sure. I'm not finding a good set of instructions anywhere. Mostly, to uninstall a kernel you just need to delete all its files. [00:13] amaroks: plus you can run windows apps with wine, and windows itself in virtualbox === bytesaber_work is now known as bytesaber [00:14] yeah gsr, just installed some with wine, works well, they dont look best though [00:14] anyway to have them look a bit better? [00:14] amaroks, photoshop cs5 (portable) runs great here on wine [00:14] i just use Virtualbox in seamless mode [00:14] how to disable recent files tracking? what's the replacement for ~/.gtkrc-2.0? [00:15] I need some help with ssh and sftp [00:15] Here or #ubuntu-server? [00:15] amaroks: why not dual boot [00:15] ActionParsnip: after installing XFCE how to make it default sesion? [00:15] Canadian1296, is it a server side or client side question [00:15] Canadian1296: why not both :) [00:16] gsr: Server side, but you guys respond faster [00:16] ActionParsnip: Okay I will [00:16] kc4zvw_: log off and select the xfce session, the last session will be set as default for the user [00:16] ActionParsnip I have dual boot, I just hate windows not sure why [00:16] amaroks: or use Gimp in Ubuntu, its pretty decent [00:16] ActionParsnip: roger and thanks [00:16] and I hate switching always,Gimp couldn't love it [00:16] kc4zvw_: anytime, thanks for the gratitude :) [00:17] didn't do well as Photoshop [00:17] Gimp is decent, but it doesn't really compare to photoshop [00:17] amaroks: due to experience by any chance... [00:17] even Photoshop 8 CS does much more than Gimp [00:17] does anyone know the modules needed for serial IR ports? tlhonmey: i get that I need to make menuconfig im in it as we speak [00:17] I have a couple of ext4 partitions, where if I right click on them in ubuntu, and check the permissions, they only show "root" as the user and no other options. I cannot write to these partitions. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? [00:17] well i tried to learn some, just seems to do less [00:18] haux: google chown [00:18] RenatoSilva you might have more luck asking in #gnome [00:18] haux: add them in /etc/fstab and set better access [00:18] Canadian1296: waiting for your ssh/sftp question [00:19] Thanks and Good night people [00:19] UnclNastyFingerz: There are a few sections of hardware drivers in there, the IR port drivers will be in one of them. Unfortunately I don't recall which one. [00:19] I think chown is going to work here, as long as it works for entire partitions. Thank you! [00:19] join #ubuntu+1 [00:19] bjrohan, /join [00:19] haux: change the permission on the mount points [00:19] got it :) [00:20] haux: chown -R for recursive [00:20] haux: chown will work on /dev files, and with -R will work on all files in a partition, either way. [00:20] my touchpad and touchpad click buttons are not working. will someone help me troubleshoot? [00:20] ubuntu 11.10 [00:20] tlhonmey: i believe trying to chmod /dev will be reset after a reboot [00:20] So like, chown -R /dev/sdc1 haux ? [00:21] zykotick9: generally speaking, yes. [00:21] haux: give it a user [00:21] i think haux's problem is theyre not mounted correctly in the first place [00:21] I need to confine certain users to their home directory in sftp. I have everything set up (they can't execute a shell, only sftp.) I need to confine them to their home (they are in the group "sftponly"). I'm using "Match group sftphosting [00:21] ChrootDirectory %h" to do so, but as soon as I add that i can't log in (I get "Write failed: broken pipe" [00:21] haux: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mount/point not the block device [00:21] haux: that will change the permissions on the device allowing the user in question control of what to do with them. It's probably not what you're wanting to do. [00:21] Sorry that took so long, I was typing [00:22] tlhonmey, yeah! deleting modules domthe trick, thanks! will reboot and see [00:22] bye [00:22] Canadian1296: the chroot you create will need the files and programs necessary to login and initiate the transfer. [00:22] ^^^ yes this === carlos is now known as Guest57767 [00:23] Hail, all. While trying to get my BLUE SNOWBALL microphone installed (which it still is not) in the sound properties, and selected as my default microphone, I lost my speakers... soundcard now reads "dummy". I assume it's not trying to hurt my feelings, can anyone give me a hand? [00:23] tlhonmey, that's pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish. Right now I simply can't write to them (without sudo), because root is set as the owner. [00:23] can someone help me troubleshoot why my touchpad and touchpad left right clicks are not working? [00:23] ActionParsnip, maybe I'm confused about what you mean by mount point. Is /dev/sdc1 not a mount point? [00:23] So what do I have to do? I need to bind them to /var/www/hosting/theirusername so they can edit the contents of their server directory but nothign else. [00:24] haux: that's an artifice of how they are mounted. Try the uid and gid mount options to allow usage by non-root people. [00:24] can i do a md5checksum on an ubuntu distro thats already burned to a disc [00:24] haux: A mount point is where you access the device contents, for example /media/cdrom might be a cdrom mount point [00:25] haux: /dev/sdc1 is the raw device. [00:25] Canadian1296: read here about chrooting shell users http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/chroot-users-with-openssh-an-easier-way-to-confine-users-to-their-home-directories/229 [00:25] can someone send me the output of their groups command plz? [00:25] blumonkey: md5sum the .iso you burned it from [00:25] Afzal: logan adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare [00:26] log, thanks! [00:26] Afzal: You're welcome. [00:26] Afzal: glen root adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare subversion vboxusers androiddevs [00:26] blumonkey: there is also a disc integrity check built in to the top menu when you boot into the disk [00:26] humungulous: Thanks I'll give it a try. That's pretty much what I did, just there were a few things missing [00:26] haux: no /dev/sdc1 is the block device, you mount the block device and you can access the data etc, you manipulate that [00:26] glen_3b, thanks! ... you're in the root group, is that by default? [00:27] Afzal: no [00:27] Alright, I'll reboot back into ubuntu here in a few minutes to see what the mount point is and give it a try. Thank you. [00:27] Afzal: At least as far as I remember, no [00:27] Canadian1296: some dependency is missing thats whats causing the erro message youre seeing [00:27] *error [00:27] glen_3b, yeah just confirming, thanks [00:27] should i take a ticket and wait haha? [00:27] humungulous: I'll just try one thing at a time till I find it [00:28] Afzal: Yeah, I've made a lot of system tweaks [00:28] you should be able to track it down in the login scripts but it will require some investigation [00:28] supermun: aren't you using mint? [00:29] i need sum stank foot [00:29] no, i was consdiering switching. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 [00:30] Soundcard issues... any gunna give me a hand? :P [00:30] My question for Ubuntu mobile is ; Huawei only has a few phones, I wonder if it'll be supported [00:30] it works.. :) [00:30] can somebody tell me how to connect from the command line i deleted network manager and cant connect to the internet [00:30] !ubuntu-phone|Bealhorm [00:30] ariel': ifup eth0 ??? [00:30] ariel`: wired or wireless? [00:31] humungulous: Okay, I've done everything it told me to and still no avail, as the next step is setting up a bash shell for them. I don't want them to have a bash script, and they won't be using ssh. Just logging in with sftp === CPhoenix_ is now known as CPhoenix [00:31] CFHowlett, what do you mean? [00:31] can you help, bastidrazor? [00:31] which one is simpler wires or wirless [00:31] wired [00:31] so, has anybody got vlc 2.0 on maverick (10.10)? [00:31] wired [00:31] Bealhorm might want to ask at @ubuntu-phone [00:31] Canadian1296: if it's limited to sftp only then follow the instructions in the top half of the article to set their shell to none [00:31] ah, thanks [00:31] Bealhorm might want to ask at @ #ubuntu-phone [00:31] thanks [00:31] phone [00:31] how do i connect to wired then [00:31] Canadian1296: you can set their login shell to anything you want. [00:32] ariel`: wired is a *lot* simpler. [00:32] ariel': what do you get for ifconfig [00:32] I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and my touhpad and touhcpad buttons aren't responding. can someone help me troubleshoot? === root is now known as Guest13042 [00:32] humungulous: I already did the top half, I'm getting broken pipe still. [00:32] Canadian1296: on sftp connection attempt??? [00:32] i get eth0 etho0 avahi and lo [00:33] humungulous tlhonmey: How do I set their shell to sftp? [00:33] humungulous: Yes [00:33] Canadian1296: you dont, they dont have a shell. yo uset their shell to /bin/false [00:34] :(, ill wait as long as it takes for help but i just want to know someone wil help me eventually [00:34] Canadian1296: do sftp -vv and read the diagnostic output [00:34] which interface is important [00:34] ariel': eth0 [00:35] but theres 2 of them what do i do next [00:35] humungulous: Okay, so I type "sftp username@server" and it asks for a pass. I give it and I get "Write failed: Broken Pipe" then "Connection Closed" [00:35] Canadian1296: add "-vv" to that to get more verbose [00:35] I'll do it then pastebin the results for you [00:35] Canadian1296: that will tell you what is going wrong and when [00:35] yes [00:35] hiiii [00:36] ariel': ifup eth0 [00:36] did u hear about ubuntu for mobile [00:37] hello every one...I'm trying to figure out why none of my USB webcams will not be visible to me or anyone as I would like to have Skype fully functionable so I can call on friends. I am currently using Ubuntu 11.1 in gnome classic mode [00:37] hello, how can i set super key to open gedit? [00:37] humungulous: Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854788/ [00:37] hello, how can i set super key to open gedit? i am with ubuntu 11.10? [00:38] humungulous i get an error [00:38] hi... [00:38] i need help [00:38] pls [00:38] !ask | Nardeli [00:38] Nardeli: 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 [00:38] what is your problem nardeli [00:38] Canadian1296: the sftp subsystem is failing to start [00:39] did you put ForceCommand internal-sftp [00:39] hey nardeli [00:40] what is your problem nardeli [00:40] how can i check which is the version of the particular package i can download? [00:40] (i dont want to download it, i just want to know what version i can get from apt-get) [00:40] pr0ton: "apt-cache policy foo" [00:40] pr0ton apt-get -s [00:40] Calling all sound-card wizards ;) or at least sound-settings manager? [00:40] pr0ton: aptitude show [00:40] is it possible to find-out and copy all files/dirs that my wireless driver uses? Theoretically I could just then paste all that into a new install and have wifi. Would this work? [00:40] I installed Kubuntu 11.10, downloaded to the drive nVidia GTX 560 Ti but I could not install... (sorry, Im using translator) [00:40] it worked :) my touchpad works noe [00:40] needed a reboot [00:41] thanks for the help [00:42] i see Nvidia driver version 173 and the recomended driver, whats the difference? [00:42] ActionParsnip: I'm trying to figure out why none of my USB webcams will not be visible to me or anyone as I would like to have Skype fully functionable so I can call on friends. Can you help me out please if you have some time ? [00:42] humungulous: Yes I did. I have ChrootDirectory %h, X11Forwarding no, AllowTcpForwarding no, and ForceCommand internal-sftp. Same error [00:42] supermun the 173 version is for certain, legacy cards if I recall... [00:42] vindav: do the cams work in cheese? [00:43] humungulous: But if I try as a user that is not in the group sftphosting then it succeeds, so I'm guessing it's the fact they're bound to /var/www/hosting but there is no stfp program in that directory (or something like that) [00:43] okay so ill stick with recomended, thanks tlhonmey [00:43] anyone here experienced with Ubuntu and unraring NZbs? [00:43] supermun: If it doesn't work, swap it for the other one. [00:43] Canadian1296: which ubuntu version [00:43] humungulous: 10.04.4 LTS [00:43] Server [00:43] anyone here play eternal lands/know if it works on dial up? i ask here because the channel is dead and the game is listed on playdeb for debian derivatives and thought someone would know. [00:44] ActionParsnip: the cam doesn't work in cheese. [00:44] vindav: then run: lsusb and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [00:44] Canadian1296: discussion here says it works http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1552217 [00:44] supermun, 260 i think is the "recommended" driver. I wouldn't advist installing 295 from the xedgers ppa [00:45] advise* [00:45] Canadian1296: are you doing identical to that? [00:45] mister2: That's going to depend almost entirely on how much bandwidth it uses. Most games I've seen run ok on dialup, but downloading update packs may take an unreasonable amount of time. [00:45] ty, Afzal [00:45] Canadian1296: possibly Subsystem sftp internal-sftp [00:46] hi, how to open a browser using proxy? [00:46] tlhonmey i'm not concerned about that too much. The game itself is around 100mb so i figure it'll be done after a movie. I'm thinking more and more i'll just download it and see [00:46] humungulous: Subsystem sftp internal-sftp (i copied and pasted) [00:47] mister2: as long as it's not streaming audio or video from the server, the datastream tends to be fairly compact for most online games. [00:47] hi is there anywhere i can get the newest ubuntu with gnome pre installed? [00:47] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854794/ [00:47] tlhonmey that was exactly the information i was looking for! thank you :D [00:47] Canadian1296: and you already sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart to capture the changes right [00:47] kihlim: http://emperorlinux.com/ They've been around for a while. [00:48] humungulous: every time I changed something, yes. Heres my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file if it helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854796/ [00:48] vindav: that's not good [00:48] kihlim: Otherwise find your local linux users group and there will probably be somebody who will set it up for you. :) [00:48] i mean lke a distrubiution [00:49] Canadian1296: it should work. im stumped [00:49] kihlim the newest 12.04 isn't out yet [00:49] humungulous: I'll pastebin everything that might have an effect on it. Hang on a couple minutes. [00:50] Canadian1296: all you can do is revert back to where you started and redo everything one step at a time [00:50] ok whats the name of the old one with gnome preinstalled? [00:50] vindav: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [00:51] kihlim, 11.10 oneiric ocelot [00:51] kihlim: Oneiric Ubuntu has Gnome preinstalled... [00:51] ActionParsnip: Output is: oneiric I'll be back in a half an hour [00:51] Did the keyboard shortcuts for switching workspaces just get changed in 12.04? [00:52] ok will try it then [00:52] dmj726: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Pre-release support [00:53] lol thats the same that i have now [00:53] to make the analogy a percentage breakdown for browsers is here http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp only about .8% of people are using something different the chrome , IE , or firefox. (maybe they are using lynx,link ,links ,...etc lol :) their are alot but not very much used other then the 3 major players in browsers) GOT TO BE SITE EQUIVALENT FOR THE NETWORK HARDWARE [00:53] but my doesnt have gnome preinstalled [00:54] humungulous: The only things I can think of are a) The way I created the user, b) The fact the user's home is /var/www/hosting/rutger as opposed to /home/rutger, c) The fact they are bound to /var/www/hosting/rutger but that directory has no shell or sftp programs in it d) the ownerships. [00:54] Canadian1296: well lets eliminate those [00:54] Canadian1296: first test, set up one as /home/ and see if it works [00:54] humungulous: Okay one sec. [00:55] kihlim: it does, unity is just a shell. It uses Gnome desktop by default [00:56] ok is there any distrubution witth the gnome shell preinstalled? [00:56] humungulous: The guide says to use "sudo useradd -d /home/bob -s /usr/lib/sftp-server -M -N -g sftphosting bob" but since some of those options are ambigous, itt translates to "sudo useradd /home/bob --shell /usr/lib/sftp-server -N --group sftphosting --disable-login home" I imagine the "--disable-login" may cause some issues... [00:57] kihlim: just install gnome-shell it's in the repos [00:57] Canadian1296: well you can verify the result in /etc/passwd [00:57] tlhonmey: ok asked there [00:57] Canadian1296: (dont paste that here though for christ sake) [00:57] its not just for me [00:58] humungulous: It's "rutgerdehann:x:1001:1001:Rutger De Hann,,,:/var/www/hosting/rutger:/bin/false" (see? I only posted the important line :) ) [00:58] any online poker players here? Ihave questions about ubuntu and running an xp kvm so I can still play.. [00:58] hehehe [00:58] technically the hashed pw is in /etc/shadow [00:58] crystaltv: Well, the first question is whether ubuntu will work with the site in question... It does with lots of them... [00:59] crystaltv: you could eliminate the extra setup if it does. [00:59] what is you make shell /usr/lib/sftp-server again [00:59] is=if [00:59] unity runs on top of gnome 3 libs right? so it runs gtk 3? is gtk 3 backwards compatible with gtk 2? [00:59] tlhonmey: I am in the US so I can only play on the Merge network.. and have tried to install the clients under wine and they dont run [00:59] RenatoSilva: In terms of programs it's supposed to be backward compatible. [00:59] humungulous: I'll create a new user with those option, minus the --disable-login [01:00] ok [01:00] tlhonmey: and in terms of what it's not? [01:00] ok any other good distrobotion with gnome preinstalled? [01:01] Canadian1296: i never use useradd i always mess around in /etc/passwd and /etc/groups and issue /sbin/pwconv and /sbin/grpconv after [01:01] Configuration files are probably different in some places. I haven't done a detailed comparison. [01:01] er, /usr/sbin/pwconv and /usr/sbin/grpconv i should have said [01:01] kihlim: Linux Mint, and Fedora come to mind. Personally I like Mint better. [01:01] Any new takers (REally don't mean to bother, but I'm trying to do a transcription for work and REALLY need soudncard drivers) [01:01] humungulous: Okay I ran "sudo useradd --home /home/bob --shell /usr/lib/sftp-server -N --group sftphosting bob" then "sudo passwd bob" and then tried logging into sftp as him. Still got broken pipe [01:02] googling [01:02] ok will try install them instead [01:02] humungulous: k [01:02] crystaltv: the merge network site is saying that they're not accepting US players... [01:02] reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1482005 [01:03] tlhonmey: I know but I am on several merge sites :) was on the before black friday [01:03] look at post 2 [01:03] the owner of the destination directory must be "root", and group/other users cannot have write permissions [01:03] humungulous: I'll give it a try :) [01:04] crystaltv: Ok. Lock poker and Carbon Poker say they support Linux... [01:04] crystaltv: Otherwise, virtualbox runs a pretty good Virtual Machine if you have a license for Windows. [01:04] someones entire wiki about it here http://wiki.lapipaplena.org/index.php/How_to_mount_SFTP_accesses [01:05] tlhonmey: I did not know that as I play on Blackchip, IronDuke and PokerHost [01:05] phew... glad im not you [01:05] tlhonmey and I do have a license for windows so I guess virtual box is the way to go.. as I also run Holdem Manager so I would have to install it on the VB image [01:06] crystaltv: If you need any help setting it up, feel free to let me know. [01:06] ActionParsnip: ok, I'm back. [01:06] humungulous: Huh, what do you know? It worked! I just needed to change /var/www/hosting/rutger 's ownership to root.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:09] immediately: If you want you can download the packages from the virtualbox site and use dpkg to install them.

[01:19] vindav: you would need a clean install to do that [01:19] vindav: did you upgrade directly from Lucid to Oneiric? [01:19] unusual [01:19] when ever I suspend or hibernate in 11.04 i get stuck at a blank screen with the mouse [01:19] ActionParsnip, I know that much, but... then what?

[01:20] ActionParsnip, E-350 APU [01:20] Roasted: did you install the proprietary driver? [01:20] NyLes: try sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential [01:20] ActionParsnip, no [01:20] histo i see the files but I cant copy [01:21] Roasted: perhaps: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:21] CyFus, do you have your swap at least equal to the ram? [01:21] martian, did that. :( [01:21] ubuntu_: where/what are you trying to copy them to? [01:21] to another partition [01:21] humungulous: it says, both are already the newest version.. [01:21] ActionParsnip: yes, I did upgrade to Ubuntu 11.1 on the dual boot system. [01:21] damn [01:22] ubuntu_: are you getting a permision error or something? [01:22] urfr332g0 I have the swap partition at 9gb on an 8gb system, its on an areca raid-0 [01:22] ubuntu_: you have to mount the other partition before you can write to it [01:22] NyLes: do you have /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h [01:22] its on an mbr table as a primary partiton [01:22] vindav: but did you upgrade to the releases between? [01:22] Roasted: you may need to dive in to editing the xorg config [01:23] humungulous: none? [01:24] ActionParsnip: I don't think so other than the updates from "Update Manager" that are so generally done for the newbie (me). [01:24] NyLes: issue "locate autoconf.h" [01:24] vindav: the I suggest you reinstall. Leapfrogging releases isn't supported and is why you are getting the issue (more than likely) [01:24] hi there [01:24] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DJZtf2aS2Y [01:25] ch33z: don't bother next time [01:25] what [01:26] humungulous: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic/include/generated/autoconf.h [01:26] ch33z: this is support, not only is the subject matter not suitable for the channel but this is a family friendly channel [01:26] ActionParsnip: Ok, I'll do that...and on another matter, it seems that Firefox 10 is crashing like banshee in a Dell D630 laptop that has Ubuntu 10.10 on it. Does Ubuntu 10.10 have issues using Firefox ? [01:26] histo is there anyway to take ownership of a file from a live cd [01:26] NyLes: copy that to the location where it's missing from [01:26] vindav: im sure it will be fine [01:26] vindav: :( [01:26] o woops sorry [01:26] lol [01:27] vindav: do a clean install of Oneiric and wipe out the mess you have now. it will run better [01:27] like barney and friends etc bleh bleh [01:27] humungulous: done, i will try the compile again? === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [01:28] ActionParsnip: Ok, I'll do that too. BTW, is Ubuntu 10.10 called Maverick or Oneiric ? [01:28] Just to follow up, for whoever helped me with my issue a few minutes ago. 'sudo chown -R haux:haux /media/xubuntu' did the trick. Although, I ended up formatting one of the partitions, and after the format, the user was reset back to root. I wonder why this happens? This did not occur in my previous install of ubuntu. Not a problem, just odd to me. [01:29] ubuntu_: well if the partition you are copying to is mounted read only that could be your problem. [01:29] humungulous: the last line says hacking autoconf.h is is successful? [01:29] how would i make a drive not auto mount after boot? [01:29] NyLes: dunno, does it continue normally after that [01:29] I added a service with a port number into /etc/services, but if I do netstat, it isn't named, and /etc/hosts.allow is not working (the port is open otherwise). [01:29] vindav: 10.10 = Maverick and is EOL in April [01:29] l3d: comment it out of /etc/fstab [01:30] vindav: 11.10 is Oneiric and is the current stable release [01:30] l3d: Change the parameters for it in /etc/fstab [01:30] humungulous: yeah.. no error.. [01:30] humungulous: ill try this one thanks.. === bigterd is now known as jason__ [01:30] ok === jason__ is now known as jason1234 [01:30] can I use just a port number in /etc/hosts.allow?

Firefox also crashes like a banshee in that too. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is good until the spring of 2013. What is your suggestion ? [01:32] Action [01:33] ActionParsnip: Is there a way to remove any traces or remnants, and all of Firefox in Ubuntu 10.10 ? If so, what is the terminal command(s) to do so please ? [01:34] vindav: sudo apt-get purge firefox [01:34] To add a new entry with a custom port to /etc/hosts.allow, is it correct that I'm looking to add something to /etc/services with the port number?

[01:38] vindav: in your home folder wipeout any folder named 'firefox' or rename them, but do wipe out firefox in home too [01:39] TrueTech: Ubuntu for Android is still in development. [01:39] vindav: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox_old may do it [01:39] vindav: also folders named 'mozilla' [01:39] log: its exciting though [01:39] Is there any beta version or alpha version that I can test? [01:39] ActionParsnip: Very true. :) [01:40] TrueTech: I doubt it; looks very closed source to me right now (probably in development over at Canonical). [01:41] ActionParsnip: ok, I've renamed the file called Firefox to something else now. [01:41] Is there any downloadable content from Canonical that may contain the system?

Not sure you can have just Super on it's own [01:51] i was trying with gconf-editor and ccsm [01:51] but nothing [01:51] skypce: ccsm is where is is set [01:51] !shortcut [01:51] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

[02:02] ActionParsnip: Xmarks is from Mozilla that supports Firefox in that you can log into it from any computer using Firefox and download or upload to the server.

[02:15] you can install classic ubuntu [02:15] !nounity | tyler [02:15] tyler: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.

Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:16] tyler, not sure what else will disappear though. [02:16] I'm not really liking unity either.

[02:39] when I say update, I mean format ;p [02:40] but this is what I was looking for thanks [02:40] xim_, not sure I understand.....but glad your happy :) [02:41] hey folks .. i just installed smaba on xubuntu.. i seem to remember that on ubuntu-server i used my computers username and password to access it from my mediabox... is there something i should change to access it, like a smb.conf line? [02:41] xim_, that link is for upgrading not updating. [02:42] xim_: i'd just hang with your current release til release day [02:42] hi, to change umask globally, which file should I edit in ubuntu 11.10? /etc/profile? /etc/bash.bashrc? or any other files? thanks. [02:43] I am having a problem with pulseaudio/alsa where when I unplug my head phones it switches to the correct connector, but then switches back to the headphone connector [02:44] Hi everyone. I'm currently dual booting ubuntu and windows 7. Now, my ubuntu install got bricked (update went wrong), so, I want to reinstall, but, I want it to write over my old parition, can ubuntu do that? [02:44] poincare101: yes [02:44] chuck_: directly for the instaler? [02:44] chuck_, do you have an asus laptop, I have the same issue. [02:44] poincare101: just do a manual partition and format the correct partition [02:44] When I use the Gnome setting when I login to Ubuntu the top bar is this neon blue color and all the text is distorted and unreadable, how do I fix this? [02:45] aboxorg: nope, its a custom desktop [02:45] Hey all, I'd like to know if it's possible to run two hard-drives on one computer at the same time. Rather than dual-boot. Then just use a VNC to view my windows box. Possible? :) [02:45] poincare101: use custom partitioning and set the system partition for formatting and use it ext4 as / [02:45] poincare101: it'll reinstall grub, but it should auto detect your win7 install [02:45] poincare101: obviously leave your ntfs partition alone and if you have a different partition for /home then tell the installer to use the partition as ext4 but NOT format it [02:46] It's the best way I can break my windows habbit, by using Ubuntu all the time, and moving to windows when absolutely nesccary. :P [02:46] Gaming4JC, why not just run windows inside a VM (virtualbox?) inside linux. Then you can make snap-shots so you can revert back when you get a virus :P [02:46] Gaming4JC: you'd need to virtualize one [02:46] I've done that [02:46] but it doesn't run certain things [02:46] e.g. video editing software [02:46] :/ [02:46] Gaming4JC: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:46] not happen with performance? [02:46] Gaming4JC: what do you use VNC to achieve? Why do you connect to the system? [02:46] ActionParsnip: so, it will be able to recover my data?! [02:47] ActionParsnip: I would love if it could do that [02:47] ActionParsnip: nothing yet, currently I dual boot. I would like to be able to VNC into another HDD and play on Windows [02:47] poincare101: if /home is on its own partition [02:47] which IS recommended [02:47] poincare101: 1. Yes, boot to liveCD and you can access the data there and copy to a different storage temporarily. and 2. Why do you NOT have a backup?? [02:47] I run win7 inside ubuntu and I have access to everything I've tried. I can run wow, grab youtube vid's and convert them. Not happy with performance? [02:47] chuck_: whoever had that idea needs to be given lots of money [02:47] Gaming4JC: for the video editting i'm guessing..? [02:47] aboxorg: and DirectX applications [02:47] ? [02:48] ActionParsnip: right [02:48] Gaming4JC: no you can't run two OSes on the same computer at the same time [02:48] poincare101: errr? its a pretty common thing to do [02:48] Gaming4JC: not tried any of the many native video editors in Ubuntu? [02:48] ActionParsnip: I have, but none of them offer multi-layers + effects that are required [02:48] e.g. Chroma Key and manual key animation [02:49] poincare101: wait til you discover you can format /dev/ramX devices ;) [02:49] Gaming4JC: I see [02:49] Not really sure. What does WoW use? I tried that before. It's kinda why I did it at first. [02:49] aboxorg: what does WoW use for what? [02:49] aboxorg: you can run WoW very well in wine, its the top rated app in the appdb [02:49] try running Sony Vegas Movie Studio or Adobe Premier in Wine [02:49] :p [02:50] aboxorg: I recommend trying crossover if wine is too difficult of time consuming [02:50] Gaming, adobe stuff normally works in wine [02:50] I definately need a windows box on occassion, it's just frustating having to dual-boot or virtually once you've tried VNC :| [02:50] Gaming, you can always check the wine desktop [02:51] wine database* [02:51] yeah I've done that [02:51] codecs etc are missing during rendering [02:51] Gaming, crossover database? [02:51] not tried Crossover [02:51] thanks [02:51] Gaming, crossover is wine but with some non-free stuff added, including some codecs [02:52] I would prefer to keep my linux distro free of non-free though. Seems wrong. xD [02:52] Gaming, well if you are installing non-free software in wine, then that kills that idea to start with [02:52] Gaming4JC: then you wouldn't use ubuntu, do you feel dirty now? [02:53] :P [02:53] xangua: switching next week :] [02:53] xangua: but shh don't tell #ubuntu :D [02:53] I am having a problem with pulseaudio/alsa where when I unplug my head phones it switches to the correct connector, but then switches back to the headphone connector [02:55] chuck_: what make and model system? [02:55] Hey guys. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Oneiric and I've managed to boot into it several times except for the last couple of times. It stops on "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions \n saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned [ OK ]". It's just frozen there. [02:55] ActionParsnip: its a custom tower with a foxxconn motherboard... its a N10/ICH7 High Def. Intel onboard audio card [02:56] chuck_: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [02:57] So I can transfer at 10MB/s with smbclient but only at 4MB/s with ubuntu's cifs kernel implementation. I read that this is due to the kernel not allowing asynchronous transfers. Does anyone have any idea how one might allow async between clients w/o using smbclient or know when the kernel will be patched to allow this? [02:57] ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=647692055976f86e9a581f0bc906defa7ec47ff6 [02:57] :( [02:58] Mayazcherquoi: you may want to try disabling pulse audio, but that sounds like some sort of bug :O [02:58] Gaming4JC: How would I go about that? :S What's the service name? [02:58] When I use the Gnome setting at login the menu bar is completely distorted along with all the text, any ideas? [02:58] Restarting the lightdm service does nothing :( [02:59] orangepnut: is it the same for a new user? === sun_ is now known as Guest13541 [02:59] ActionParsnip, I haven't tried [03:00] hello, i had to redo my gnu-linux system and kinda lost my CLI apps.. and i am wondering if someone has a really good list of CLI tools and general apps? i only remember byobu and moc.. [03:00] i do know one tool i'd love if it there is even such a thing.. a cli tool that can control a Teamspeak 3 client on either a local network or on the host machine.. [03:00] Mayazcherquoi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | http://www.jeffsplace.net/node/12 (I'd lurk in the channel a bit longer though, to be sure) [03:00] starn: can it be controlled via command line? [03:00] isn't there any automated system for keep tracking of upstream releases so they can be tested and packaged and released? [03:00] ActionParsnip: i think it can be controled via telnet. [03:01] Gaming4JC: Okay, thank you :) [03:01] ActionParsnip, When I login as a guest and use the Gnome setting everything is still distorted [03:01] starn: then install openssh-server and you can ssh on and run commands [03:01] ActionParsnip: I added "snd-hda-intel: model=auto" in the modprobe options, found a post that descirbed a issue kinda like mine where it wouldn't switch to headphones at all... so I thought it be worth a shot to try [03:01] orangepnut: has the guest account ever been used? [03:01] ActionParsnip: didn't change anything [03:01] ActionParsnip, no it has not [03:02] orangepnut: is the system fully updated? [03:02] Gaming4JC: But it was working fine before :-/ [03:02] ActionParsnip, as far as I know yes, though I'm new to the linux world [03:02] ActionParsnip: alright i shall try that.. i do know for sure a teamspeak server can be controled via telnet. so maybe it'll work. [03:02] Mayazcherquoi: right. Disabling it may only work around another existing problem... needs debuging :( [03:03] Mayazcherquoi: I don't have experience with that particular error :| [03:03] orangepnut: in a terminal run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:04] ActionParsnip: apparently i already have openssh-server. [03:04] starn: cool, then connect and you can run commands and junk. you are not telnetted to the service so you will need to telnet to localhost for that [03:06] Hello everyone. Anyone care to play another round of "I'm an simple minded novice and barely learned how to sort of move around directories via terminal, and need to know how to add rulesets to iptables"? Cookies promised to those patient enough to babysit me through it. [03:07] Ubuntunub: use gufw [03:08] which should i use, class GNOME or XFCE? [03:08] classic GNOME* [03:08] whatever you want [03:09] orlok: I'd prefer to learn via the terminal if at all possible. I have the ruleset that I want to use, just can't seem to figure out *how* I go about editing the current one (which is default and of course blank). [03:10] is it true 64bit ubuntu can install 32bit applications now? [03:10] Ubuntun.. probably best to ask google for the specifics then, better teacher than i am. [03:11] ActionParsnip, I entered the commands you had said and now the menu bar is still distorted just a different color [03:11] starn: "typically" yes (i just hope your not talking about zsnes) [03:11] orlok: I just realized that a help option was staring me in the face. Thumbing through it now. :) [03:12] * Gaming4JC still thinks it is possible to mount a drive and use VNC... O_o [03:12] Assuming I have two separate hard drives, is it not possible to mount one on linux and then use a VNC viewer on it? :P [03:13] :'( === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [03:14] Gaming4JC, if you don't just install as a dual boot you will not get the the full use. [03:14] Grr, screw this. Time for a reinstall. [03:14] zykotick9: no.. i use an emulator on my phone for snes games. [03:15] Gaming4JC, what I mean and use it as a reular OS. [03:15] regular* [03:15] urfr332gO: I only want to use it from time to time. For video editing... [03:15] seems possible, I know it can be done remotely [03:15] Gaming4JC, this is ubuntu support not waht if. [03:15] If I'm setting up a new raid array, what's better to go with? MBR or GUID? === Ttech is now known as [____] [03:15] what* [03:17] ActionParsnip: you have any ideas? === [____] is now known as Ttech [03:21] chuck_: my sound troubleshooting abilities are low [03:21] Are we all waiting for someone to put a topic forward? [03:21] d [03:21] Question - what can I do about my resolution if I set it to something my monitor does not support? I just get no input now. [03:24] ActionParsnip: I was at least able to connect the backup system to the desktop from laptop and do a backup via ssh, instead of Samba [03:24] still can't get nautilus to connect [03:26] Roasted: how did you set the res? [03:27] hello [03:27] hi everyone, can anyone help me how to rsync to a remote server using different port [03:27] ActionParsnip, system settings, display === yeonhoo_ is now known as yeonhoo [03:29] ActionParsnip: Not sure what I did (brute force) but I got my computers to connect via SSH, in nautilus. How do I make sure Nautilus connects every time it opens? [03:29] tintoy: if you rsync over ssh, you could configure ssh to use a different port. [03:30] tintoy: an example that I think may work: rsync -rav ./somedirectory martian@server.com:12345/home/martian/ [03:30] Do I have to use sudo anytime I want to use nano to edit a file? [03:31] xauth:this is my case, I want to pull somefiles from a remote server using port 2300 [03:31] Ubuntunub: only if it's a system file [03:31] Ubuntunub: only if it is a system file. If it's in your home directory you shouldn't (have to) [03:31] martian:this is my case, I want to pull somefiles from a remote server using port 2300 [03:31] It's iptables.rules -- so I assume it would fall under the system files restriction. :) [03:31] Thanks. [03:31] tintoy: well then based on the example I posted you should be able to; just swap the second and third parameter and change the port, path, user, and host [03:32] martian:I will post my command check if it is correct [03:34] martian:rsync -av rsync://root@www.trendy.org:2300/var/www/inv2010/* /var/www/main/ [03:34] martian:rsync: server sent "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1" rather than greeting [03:34] rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1524) [Receiver=3.0.7] [03:35] martian: that error has been encountered after such command [03:36] Hi guys. I'm still using ubuntu natty (11.04), the main reason is because I found the complete lib transition (libgtk2 -> libgtk3) in oneiric too buggy. I was wondering what is the current 'status' of oneiric, is it buggy? Is gnome 3 currently more 'customizable'? [03:36] is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? [03:38] marcosroriz: I was annoyed by unity at natty and oneiric but I decided to reinstall from scratch after several years...now I'm just trying things out...I'm giving unity a chance, been doing a few customizations... it's not annoyingly buggy from my experience [03:38] marcosroriz: its got a bit better, what you think may be different to what I see as ok. Have you maybe tried a different DE... [03:38] Hi. Has anyone here successfully installed the ADT (Android Dev Tool) plugin for Eclipse on Ubuntu 11.10? I'm having some trouble. [03:38] I kinda like unity in natty, because gnome2 is way stable and customizable than gnome 3. [03:38] marcosroriz: Natty is fully supported til October so I wouldn't worry a lot [03:39] marcosroriz: customizations are sometimes dumb I think [03:39] tintoy: try getting rid of the "rsync://" [03:39] ActionParsnip, thanks :D [03:40] Pikkachu, yeah, in fact I've been using (gnu/)linux for > 6 years and for the first time I only changed the wallpaper [03:40] Really liked the default 'look' of ubuntu natty [03:40] how to change umask for all users? set it in /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc or any other files? thanks. [03:41] marcosroriz: ditto. Never been more pleased with a default theme. [03:41] change it in /etc/skel/.profile [03:42] :) [03:43] is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? [03:43] martian: sorry are you named after the martian modem driver? [03:43] Pikkachu: haha afraid not [03:45] martian, marcosroriz: default background is buggy though... I like setting the login screen background the same as my user...but there are duplicated references: the locked screen background still keeps as the original one of login screen or such [03:45] martian: ah ok nevermind [03:46] I'm cool with the gdm bg (using natty here). Used few times lightdm. [03:46] is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? [03:47] marcosroriz: I used to change bg and theme for gdm, now I need to deal with this lightdm... [03:47] oh well, I'll probably change when precise launch [03:48] marcosroriz: when precise launch? [03:48] 12.04 [03:48] hello [03:48] someday of april (this year) [03:49] hi, i am trying to setup ubuntu, and i have 5 hdd's installed. i would like to use the 750gb drive like this: partition 1: 100gb / ext3, partition 2: 100gb ntfs for windows 7 dual boot and the rest for /home. then the rest of the drives, i want to use to store media on them (this is a file server) [03:49] so what should i do? [03:50] chipotle, I would put wundows first on the drive. [03:50] marcosroriz: ah you mean you'll just wait 12.04 for customizing it? I see [03:50] should i partition the other drives later? [03:50] windows* [03:50] so the first partition ntfs? the second ext3 and in the / position? [03:50] Pikkachu, not only that but because until there gnome 3 will have more tools to customize and be more stable [03:50] chipotle, any reason for ext3 [03:51] marcosroriz: sounds nice... I just hope it doesn't mess with dist-upgraters from oneiric [03:51] urfr332gO: well, what are you recommending? [03:51] :) [03:51] chipotle, ext3 is okay the default is ext4 in ubuntu [03:52] I'm trying to create a suid root copy of bash under ubuntu [03:52] .. its not working, even after i remounted / without nosuid [03:52] urfr332gO: well, the point was so windows could view the partition and i don't know if it can read+write ext4, but it can ext3 [03:52] Also, with nosuid, how does su work? [03:52] orlok: Making a setuid root copy of bash sounds like an absolutely *terrible* idea. [03:53] chipotle: it can't read linux partitions [03:53] chipotle, on this channel and in general a shared ntfs is preferred. [03:53] Jordan_U: i know, its to test whether a security auditing package will pick it up. [03:53] is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? [03:53] Pikkachu: it can with http://www.fs-driver.org/ [03:53] chipotle: what do you mean what should you do? you should implement what you just described, no? [03:53] orlok: OK. You had me concerned there for a moment :) [03:53] Jordan_U: However, the fact that i cant actually do it has me confused now. Also, how the hell DOES su work with a partition mounted nosuid [03:54] urfr332gO: so, should i just partition the one drive right now, the 750gb and then come back to the four other drives at a later date? [03:54] simba [03:54] is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? [03:54] meaning, once i have ubuntu running [03:54] can i continue /home on several different drives if one runs out of space... [03:54] Jordan_U: I was thinking it would be a 30 second test [03:54] chipotle: cool, is it reliable? last time I checked all apps supposed to do that looked dumb [03:54] Pikkachu: yeah, i have heard good things [03:54] chipotle: yeah, many ways of doing it [03:54] orlok: How did you mount the partition as nosuid? [03:55] Jordan_U: installed ubuntu. [03:55] orlok: what do you recommend? i ahve two 3TB drives that i want to also use as /home, can i do that in the installer? [03:55] chipotle, all I would recommend is windows first on any of the drives it is easier to repair this way, and a shred ntfs wherever you want and the ubuntu where ever you want. [03:55] shared* [03:56] chipotle: i dont remember sorry, but probably as a mirror [03:56] Jordan_U: ubuntu mounted it nosuid by default [03:56] chipotle: do you want to mount different partitions at the same /home mounting point? @@ [03:56] well, can i have multiple drives mount point be /home ? [03:57] orlok: Why do you think that? [03:57] Pikkachu: well, i have 5TB of ~/Movies, so preferably, when i run out on my one 3TB drive, the second 3TB drive can pick right up where i left off [03:57] chipotle: you could use lvms and make one 'drive' from the 2 combined [03:57] chipotle: I've never heard of it [03:57] Jordan_U: Looking at the mounted filesystems. [03:57] hello [03:57] orlok: Can you pastebin the exact command and output that leads you to believe this? === administrator is now known as Guest76807 [03:57] ? [03:58] ActionParsnip: cool [03:58] Jordan_U: No, since i remounted / nosuid since then [03:58] Jordan_U: However my 4755 chmodded copy of bash owned by root/root still doesnt fire off as root! [03:58] ActionParsnip: oh, i'd prefer not use LVM [03:58] so what should i select as the mount point for the other hard drives, ActionParsnip ? [03:58] ActionParsnip, chipotle may also consider just using ntfs and symlinks [03:58] raid. [03:59] orlok: You are mistaken about Ubuntu mounting / as nosuid by default. [03:59] do i need to select a mount point? [03:59] Jordan_U: Ok. I am running 10.04 lts if it makes a difference, anyway.. but it doesnt explain my issues running a suid copy of bash [03:59] chipotle: what filesystem will they be? [04:00] ? [04:00] how come i can't select an ntfs under "use as" in the installer? [04:00] orlok: What is the output of "ls -l /bin/bash" ? [04:00] Pikkachu: ext3 [04:00] Jordan_U: /bin/bash or my suid copy? [04:00] orlok: Your suid copy. [04:01] Jordan_U: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 818232 2012-02-24 10:17 /bin/dodgybash [04:01] 4755 and root.root [04:02] orlok: What is the output of "/bin/dodgybash -c whoami"? [04:02] chipotle: stuff are usually mounted in /media/desired_name but you can use any place you want [04:02] Jordan_U: myusername [04:02] Pikkachu: oh, so i can name the mount point whatever i want? [04:02] chipotle: yes [04:02] Pikkachu: how come i don't have the ntfs option in the installer? [04:03] how can i install win7 if i don't have an ntfs partition as the first partition [04:04] you will want to install windows before ubuntu. [04:04] chipotle: you may want to install win7 first as if you install it second it will likely overwrite grub [04:04] oh, really? [04:04] i didn't know that [04:04] martian: thanks :) [04:04] oh ches [04:04] chipotle: the NTFS doesn't have to be the first partition [04:05] chipotle: in my case, I have a reiserfs which is / and two ntfs partitions, one is windows and the other a data partition. For those I'm using "udisks --mount /dev/sdaX" when logging in (session apps), that command will create a /media/mount_point_according_to_ntfs_partition_label_dynamically [04:05] chipotle: just install and leave unpartitioned space, you can then install ubuntu to the empty space [04:05] ActionParsnip: okay [04:05] but it does want first crack at the mbr [04:06] chipotle: 11.10 installer? not sure but the advanced option gives you access to a partition manager which isn't really that hard to go through [04:06] ActionParsnip: what would you recommend, i have a 500GB HDD, and two 3TB drives [04:06] how would you recommend i install ubuntu on them (sans the 100GB i'll leave for windows7) [04:07] orlok: Seems like bash may have a feature of some sort to try to protect stupid users. Doing the same with /bin/dash works as expected. [04:07] has anyone here done an install on the Alenware m17x? [04:07] orlok: And to be clear, I am (as you should be) only doing this in a virtual machine. (In fact, I'm doing it in a VM using a LiveCD image only). [04:08] I'm curious how much success was had .. and with which version [04:08] Pikkachu: is gparted on the install disc? [04:09] how to disable sleeping monitor screen on server version if there is no X windows? [04:09] chipotle: are you taking about 11.10? it uses some other app but gparted is yet available in the repos [04:09] chipotle: look into lvms, if you want to keep them seperate, you can mount them at boot and have symlinks pointing to the mount points. This will reduce data loss if a drive dies (less to resore from backup) [04:09] Pikkachu: yes 11.10 [04:10] ActionParsnip: i did LVM once and it was a disaster [04:10] I just swapped my motherboard and need to install the new drivers, I'm booted in a rescue terminal, how do I tell ubuntu to grab whatever drivers it needs? [04:10] ActionParsnip: i can't have an easy way to install a 100GB / and the rest on /home (and a swap partition)? [04:10] chipotle: windows does not give a damn about other oses you may be using and overwrites MBR. So install windows first then boot from live cd, or install it later then reinstalls grub onto the MBR [04:10] then the second 3TB drive can be /media [04:11] probo: The only drivers which aren't automatically detected and configured at boot would be proprietary drivers (graphics card or possibly wireless card). [04:11] probo: What happens when you try to boot normally? [04:11] Jordan_U: The new mobo has a different ethernet card, it works fine from the install cd but doesn't work when booted from my hard drive. [04:12] So I don't get network when I boot normaly. [04:12] chipotle: /media/something_within_it rather [04:12] Pikkachu: i'm using gparted first to setup the partition scheme [04:12] probo: That's very odd. What is the output of "ifconfig" from the installed system? [04:13] chipotle: from the livecd? why you didn't go though the normal steps [04:13] how to ip route add according to split access in http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html ? [04:13] Pikkachu: i like gparted [04:13] chipotle: 100Gb for / is a LOT, you probably won't even need 20Gb. My desktop install is little over 4Gb [04:13] ActionParsnip: okay, so if i do 20GB for /, do i need to make any other partitions besides home? [04:13] chipotle: I think you would be better off just runnign the windoze installer first, as win7 likes to create its own goofy 100mb partition for some thing or another [04:13] orlok: You might ask about it in #bash. But if you do, please make sure to immediately include that you are doing this for a test and not actually doing it on a production machine. [04:13] Jordan_U: It doesn't show eth1 unless I do ifconfig -a, that gives me interrupt code 17, so then I up it and I get some other interrupt code. [04:14] chipotle: ok so what are your disk sizes and how much you want for windows and linux? how much ram? [04:14] Jordan_U: I'd say "I'm the worlds most incompitent script kiddie".. but then, theres no way thats true. [04:14] chipotle: should be ok with those 3 :) [04:15] third being the unformatted partition for windows 7? [04:15] chipotle: Win7, /, swap, /home = 4 partitions [04:15] how much swap do you recommend? [04:15] chipotle: how much RAM do you have? [04:16] 8gb [04:16] depends on ram as I asked [04:16] chipotle: do you need hibernate / suspend? [04:16] um, no, i'll just turn off my monitor [04:16] this will be a fileserver [04:16] ActionParsnip: suspend does not require dumping [04:16] chipotle: could probably get away with zero then, otherwise 9Gb swap will be fine [04:16] orlok: No, you can't be. I can't even get new rules for iptables to save right, lol. [04:16] Pikkachu: I use it as a generic term, I know its different :) [04:17] chipotle: how much you're planning for win7? [04:17] ActionParsnip: ok [04:17] Jordan_U: Any ideas? [04:18] Pikkachu: 100gb, just to be safe [04:18] chipotle: given that you have so much space, I'd recommend 100GB ã.ã [04:18] chipotle: yay lulz [04:19] windows goes to mc donalds every day and gets fatter and fatter over time [04:20] probo: Check the output of "dmesg" to see if that clarifies the problem. But other than that I don't know. [04:22] Pikkachu: okay and now for the other 3TB drive, should i just format it to ext3 and then the mount point /media/movies ? [04:22] and then i can install ubuntu on my 15 GB partition that will be at / [04:23] Jordan_U: Just says it couldn't find an ipv6 router, huh. I just edited the network conf to change teh eth device from 0 to 1. We'll see if that makes a difference [04:23] since eth0 isn't present, just eth1 [04:23] chipotle: I'd use ext4 or reiserfs but if you really want to try out reading it through windows without fear of losing data, sure [04:23] Jordan_U: Boom! Came right up. [04:24] chipotle: if you use ext3 instead of ext4, you can use partimage to take backups :) [04:24] chipotle: why don't you just format it as ntfs instead? [04:25] If it is just for media I would choose xfs. [04:25] I am running Ubuntu LTS, and often times I will click on something, and capslock and scroll lock will flash and the computer will lock up. What do I do here, and how do I prevent it? [04:26] has anyone else had my problem, or is there something I just did massively wrong? [04:26] Pikkachu: it won't let me save the partition because i am using more blocks than msdos partitions allow [04:26] Pikkachu: if the files are to be shared with samba, ntfs causes all kinds of annoyance [04:27] Any one want pvt chat [04:27] Ian-Moone: What else do you have attached to USB? [04:27] which partition table should i use then if not msdos (Default)? [04:27] I have a WD USB3.0 external hard drive [04:27] ..... not anymore. [04:28] under "select new partition type table" i can choose msdos, aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc92, sun, loop [04:28] Does the computer lock up, or just the input devices? [04:28] what will let me save large 3TB drive partition schemes? [04:28] Just input devices. [04:28] Who like hot ant sex pvt me [04:28] chipotle: gpt i believe (but verify before choosing) [04:28] Actually, my keyboard is PS/2 [04:28] Ian-Moone: I missed your problem description, but I know that I have had issues with certain usb ports not getting enough power, and that once caused me to think a drive was dying, when the thing was just malfunctioning due to not getting enough power [04:28] I need to install millstone (for node.js) which depends on having sqlite3 >2.0.16 and <2.1.0, how do I install a specific version with apt-get? [04:28] ah [04:28] !guidelines > Raj84 [04:28] Raj84, please see my private message [04:29] pnorman: I think like this: apt-get millstone =2.0.16 [04:29] pnorman: you'll need to figure out the specific version you want. Or you can just download the .deb and dpkg -i [04:29] Vasistha: no .deb that I can find for millstone [04:30] pnorman: then how do you expect apt-get to find it? :) [04:30] Can anyone help me with sound issues? [04:30] Vasistha: I'm installing sqlite3 through apt-get for millstone [04:30] pnorman: apt-cache policy sqlite3 [04:30] Ian-Moone: is it just a normal install, or are you running something "unusual" on it? Something which might be scanning USB... say for media or something. [04:30] @Vasistha: I will occasionally click on something (a link, a symlink, a binary, anything, but it can't just be nothing) and everything will continue running, but the keyboard and mouse don't respond. The keyboards scroll lock and caps lock keys flash. [04:31] pnorman: then select your version and install with apt-get install sqlite3=2.0.16 [04:31] Ian-Moone: have you ran a Memtest from Grub? [04:31] good question ActionParsnip [04:31] no. [04:31] Ian-Moone: oh that's weird. does the keyboard ever resume functioning? [04:31] xauth: It's not finding that version - how do I see what versions are available? [04:31] I usually wait 5 minutes, then reset the system. [04:31] pnorman: apt-cache policy sqlite3 [04:31] Ian-Moone: run one, hold shift at boot and select memtest, run it for about 10-15 mins, if you see ANY red some or all of the ram is bad [04:32] I have a couple of zip files I need to check and match md5sum's from is there an application that i can select the file, tell it was is expected to be the md5 hash and then have it tell me if it matches or not === olaf is now known as Guest90091 [04:32] I have never gotten response within those 5 minuts. [04:32] Ian-Moone: and you will need to start removing memory sticks till you get a clean test [04:32] Ian-Moone: can you ssh into the box when it is hanging like that? === mint is now known as c31r2g [04:32] lwizardl: if you run: md5sum -c filename it will test the hashes of the files in the filename file [04:33] I don't know. I've had trouble with network connections. I could connect to an LAN IRC server, but that's all I've done successfully. [04:34] pnorman: But sqlite3 over here is already at 3.7.3 in stable debian. [04:34] It's something wrong with me (too little experience), not the computer or OS installation with my last. [04:34] but I will run the memtest. [04:34] Which one do I run? there are two. [04:34] Ian-Moone: the one thats not serial console [04:34] okay. thanks. === smw_ is now known as smw__ [04:35] pnorman: there's also an old sqlite-2.8.17, but nothing near as old as 2.0.16. [04:36] I dual boot Windows, and I've never had a RAM problem in Windows, but there's a reason I'm in linux. [04:37] Although: after booting into windows, I must turn off the PSU, discharge the capacitors, and wait about a minute before booting linux, otherwise the internet connection problems I get in windows carry over. === smw__ is now known as smw [04:38] # [04:39] 3 [04:39] @Vasistha: I don't know how to ssh into it, but running programs continue. Minecraft did hang when it happened once while I was playing, but everything else kept going.

[04:59] yes..ubuntu 11.10 [04:59] possible1994: I have never heard of such a thing, are you sure it hasn't automatically set itself up for you? [04:59] abuss read FCM, choose a project, start learning... http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ [05:00] Vasistha: Block size alignment optimizes the use of blocks by preventing using, say, 1.0001 blocks (two blocks) to store data [05:01] CFHowlett Thank you, appreciate it so much [05:01] abuss be safe/have fun [05:01] possible1994: oh ... hmm, are you trying to install ubuntu on a machine that has windows, and you need to shrink the windows partition? [05:02] Vasistha: No, I use ubuntu exclusively. I just want to optimize my SSD. [05:02] absolutely thanks [05:03] possible1994: well.. if a file is too big to fit into one block then it is going to have to use two [05:03] I managed to brake automatic asking for root password somehow. When I click in install in the Software Center, nothing happens. When I launch Synaptic without (gk)sudo, nothing happens. Only manually starting with (gk)sudo works. How do I fix that?

[05:08] jadoe: (i don't have any suggestions for your actual issue) but, using sudo with GUI apps can lead to bad things happening (perhaps the situation your in?), always use gksudo with GUI apps.

I disabled eth0 and disabled its nameserver and proxy and port in apt.conf. but still not working [06:05] rasusto: Unfortunatley the site portforward shows how to forward one port to a computer. From my android phone, If I create an ssh connection on port 23, and then port forward 23 to my computers static ip address, won't it go to port 23 by default, not 22 where I want it to go?

[06:43] pellos: wasn't programmed with that key [06:43] mi3, gimme a sec , lscpu should ahve that info [06:43] pellos: Because that's not the exit command in vi, esc switches to normal mode.

[06:52] ^ [06:53] How do I get a list of all recently installed packages (using 11.10 terminal)? [06:53] DansTheMan: check the back end of /var/log/dpkg.log [06:53] ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help. That is fantastic. [06:54] mi3: There are many ways you could approach that.

[07:17] Jordan_U: There's uninstalled ones on there? :S [07:17] Jordan_U: Cos' Ubuntu won't start the window manager [07:17] CFHowlett: yes it functions, but it's stuck at 10.08 [07:17] This is the second time today, and the second install. [07:18] so, how do i mount hard drives, e.g. sdb1? [07:18] I don't want to reinstall again. [07:18] what do i need to do? [07:18] lewis1711 see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:18] DansTheMan: What are you trying to do to solve that? [07:18] Jordan_U: I think it may be from some application I installed. [07:18] DansTheMan: Start by describing your original problem in detail. It's likely that we'll be able to find a better way of solving the problem. [07:19] Jordan_U: But I forgot what I installed just before I reboot :P [07:19] Oh okay. [07:19] Jordan_U: Well, the boot splash disappears and the following comes up: [07:19] Jordan_U: is there anyway i can go back? undo all what i did yesterday? [07:19] and when i try copying over a file i get permission denied, because i didn't create them on this current machine, i took them from another machine... what do i do to get around this? [07:20] san, as far as fixing the burg thing you don't have to install. Whats going on with the upgrade or installs it is usually a basic fix? [07:20] ok i m going...... to quit [07:20] san: Not a specific "go back to yesterday" command, no (though something like that is actually being worked on using btrfs snapshots). [07:20] "* PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions. \n saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned \n [ OK ] \t * Starting anac(h)ronistic cron \n [ OK ] * Stopping anac(h)oristic cron \n [ OK ]" [07:20] Jordan_U: ^ [07:20] Jordan_U: And it just stops right there, unable to start lightdm (restarting doesn't help) [07:20] DansTheMan: Can you get to a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+F1? [07:20] Jordan_U: lols sorry but sad there is and option is windows named System Restore [07:21] Jordan_U: That's where I'm at :P [07:21] chipotle, you likely have permissions mixed up and given to different people, when you move the files, make sure to use 'sudo' to do it as root [07:21] DansTheMan: What happens when you run "sudo service lightdm restart"? [07:21] urfr332g0: sorry i dint get what you are trying to tell [07:21] system restore in windows is a joke san [07:21] kriskropd: so if i sudo it, what will the permissions be changed to? [07:21] kriskropd: i want to make sure when i do sudo cp -r it works so when i wake up, it is finished [07:21] Jordan_U: "restart: unknown instance" [07:21] no one uses it [07:21] humungulous: why [07:22] Jordan_U: But I've just been doing "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart" [07:22] chiptole, it wont change them, it will just override them because sudo can do anything :) [07:22] because you fix a problem that presents itself [07:22] sudo substitues your user to root powers, root is like the god inside your linux [07:22] DansTheMan: You should not do that. You should use "sudo service foo {start,stop,restart,foo} [07:22] how do i use man chown? [07:22] Jordan_U: When doing that, it flashes back to the main tab thingy (dunno the name, default Ctrl+Shift+F7), and the same thing (nothing new is printed) [07:23] Jordan_U: I did it on my previous install, not this one though [07:23] humungulous: i dint get you but still there shud be a restore option in ubuntu [07:23] kriskropd: well, should i chown the files to myself first? [07:23] how do i find out what group i am in? [07:23] hi [07:23] mobhero: hello how do i install my sound car? [07:23] DansTheMan: Reboot and tell me what happens when you use "sudo service lightdm restart" (if that's not too much trouble). [07:23] san you have a dell? === undeclaredx is now known as Guest6507 [07:24] Jordan_U: No, all goods :) I just don't want to have to go through another reinstall :P [07:24] CFHolett: no just my moniter is of dell and that doesnt matter i guess [07:24] chipotle, you don't have to chown the files... are you moving a /home directory to another drive or somethign else? [07:24] (which involves taking out the hard drive, and putting it in another laptop) :P [07:24] CFHowlett: why what happened [07:25] kriskropd: it is a drive out of my mac laptop, i want to copy it to this larger drive on my ubuntu machine [07:25] Jordan_U: I think it has to do with me installing the medibuntu repositories. [07:25] san DELL has restore creator in the software center - I've used it and it works... [07:25] Jordan_U: is there anyway i can force delete or uninstall those 2 themes they ruined my OS [07:25] DansTheMan: If you don't want to spend time on a tangent that's OK, but why do you have to put the hard drive in another laptop to re-install? [07:26] Jordan_U: It's a netbook, has no disc drive, and I have no live USB I can use :P [07:26] CFHowlett: Thanks anyways but i dont have dell pc i think i will wait for 12.04 release and make a clean install [07:26] then yeah, 'sudo cp -r /whatever /mnt/sdb1' will move wherever that drive of yours is to the sdb1 (which i assume is your larger drive) [07:26] DansTheMan: thats what pxe boot is for, or usb [07:26] san probably a good idea... [07:26] urfr322g0: is there anyway i can force delete or uninstall those 2 themes? [07:26] humungulous: I don't think this netbook supports pxe boot [07:26] chipotle, you are only copying the files, not modifying them [07:27] DansTheMan: you got a 1gb usb stick [07:27] But, I've never tried or set up a pxe boot :P [07:27] humungulous: Nope. [07:27] kriskropd: i tried to copy and i'm still getting a permission denied [07:27] ActionParsnip: is there anyway i can force remove those 2 themes? [07:27] wonk wonk [07:27] Jordan_U: Same thing, "restart: Unknown instance:" [07:27] DansTheMan: You still have enough of a working system to loop boot an Ubuntu install iso from the internal hard drive :) (but there are no guides that I am aware of that detail this process completely). [07:27] DansTheMan: you got $3 [07:28] Jordan_U: Is there a way I can go without having to reinstall? :p [07:28] chiptole, maybe i need more info :) [07:28] DansTheMan: Probably. [07:28] humungulous: Yes. But this is the second install it's happened to me. [07:28] DansTheMan: What if you just run "sudo service lightdm start"? [07:28] Jordan_U: how is it that my grub is running fine and burg is not removed? [07:28] kriskropd: when i copy it, it still says owned by root and i can't access it... [07:28] so then what, kriskropd ? [07:28] Probability states it will probably happen over and over again [07:28] san: It's only the package which is not removed. [07:29] chipotle, sudo wont let you move root files around? [07:29] Jordan_U: anyway i can force remove? manually delete files? uninstall? something????? [07:29] san: We may be able to do some ugly hacks to get the packages removed. [07:29] kriskropd: the file i am taking it from isn't a root file; the file was made on an entirely diferent computer and network [07:29] Jordan_U: what does that mean? [07:30] chipotle, I don't see how that should make the file immovable if it is being accessed by your machine by root [07:30] kriskropd: i moved it but i can't access it because now it is owned by root [07:30] san: First, and hopefully this is all that needs to be done (but not likely) try running "sudo mkdir -p /boot/burg/locale/" then "sudo apt-get -f install". [07:30] so how do i change it to be owned by my user ? [07:30] chipotle: so maniuplate it via sudo [07:30] chiptole, I'm not sure then, if you can't do it with sudo, something is very weird :P [07:30] Jordan_U, if it is the ppa install unless it is fragmented and standard remove works or just go into nautilus a root and remove it it is just a version of grub2 is all [07:31] chipotle: chown [07:31] chipotle: sudo chown [07:31] what if i delete all such files from my pc? i go to places where it is installed and delete manualy? deleting files willl work? it works in windows sometimes some corrupt software can be manually deleted [07:31] Jordan_U: Do you think Medibuntu is the cause? [07:31] urfr332gO: That sentence did not make sense to me. Could you please rephrase it? [07:31] DansTheMan: I doubt it, but it's possible. [07:32] why does unity2d show 4 workspaces in a 2x2 layout when clicking the workspaces dock icon, but when using the keyboard it is a 1x4 row? [07:32] humungulous: and can i do that before i copy the files via sudo? [07:32] san: No, the problem you have right now is more with the package manager being in an incosistent state (because of poorly written packages) than any problem with the files installed by the packages. [07:32] Jordan_U: I used this guide to install the repository: http://medibuntu.org/repository.php , instead of the more simpler way using Ubuntu's GUI. [07:32] Jordan_U, it is normally removed with sudo apt-get purge burg-pc burg-common, or just go to where its at in root and remove it. [07:32] chipotle: i missed the earlier part of the conversation so i lack context [07:33] Jordan_U, burg is grub 2 in drag basically. [07:33] humungulous: i have a hard drive from a different machine, different network and different users that i want to copy the entire contents over to my ubuntu machine and specific hard drive... [07:33] chipotle: what kind of filesystem [07:34] Jordan_U: ok but still any way? i tried clean but dint work any way to clean package manager? [07:34] chipotle: do you want to do it over the network or physically cable it in [07:34] im missing all this [07:34] urfr332gO: The problem is that san has packages burg-theme-autumn burg-theme-magic which are half configured. These half configured packages cannot be removed due to errors in the postins / postrm scripts and that is breaking dpkg as a whole. [07:34] humungulous: both drives are inside my server [07:34] ok [07:34] san: Did you see my previous suggestion with mkdir -p? [07:34] so [07:34] humungulous: hfs+ (mac) to my ext4 fs in the ubuntu box [07:34] chipotle: steps are (1) mount the filesystem using the mount command [07:35] chipotle: (2) copy the files with cp -r [07:35] urfr332g0: and now i am feeling very guilty why i tried to replace simple grub with some graphical burg [07:35] Jordan_U: yes [07:35] chipotle: (3) then you can umount the foreign filesystem [07:35] san: Did you try it? [07:35] chipotle: (4) then you can change permissions and ownerships of your copied content using chmod and chown as necessary [07:35] hi [07:36] Jordan_U, cool your more experienced here. [07:36] Jordan_U: Damn, same thing :( [07:36] I have a 3tb external drive i'm trying to use as the backup for a DD operation, but it keeps saying permission denied even though I'm using sudo [07:36] :'( [07:36] Any ideas? [07:36] Jordan_U: you can edit the postrm files to be logically ineffective. I believe there are guides for removing stubborn packages. You essentially just have an empty if statement and the set -e [07:36] hi all. how stable/unstable is 12.04? I have a desktop system I want to set up that I'll be using as my primary for a while & need to know if it's stable enough for daily use? [07:36] humungulous: so one big chown would be fine? [07:37] chipotle: chown -R will recurse [07:37] 12.04 is out? [07:37] doc-saintly, you did mount it first right? [07:37] kieppie: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 [07:37] doc-saintly: is the dest mounted? [07:37] http://pastebin.com/NJ699Xcg [07:37] ActionParsnip: I know, and I plan to do that next if needed. [07:37] sweet - thanks [07:37] do you know i know how this happened [07:37] chipotle: probably ideally you mount the foreign volume read-only and dont manipulate the contents until youve made your copy [07:37] Hrm, I thought dd was at the device level? [07:37] i dint do it purposefully [07:38] Jordan_U: cool, glad you are aware. Too much to type on my phone [07:38] san: Looks good. Now try "sudo apt-get remove burg-theme-autumn burg-theme-magic" again. [07:38] I'm using the Unity desktop for Ubuntu 11.10, and for some reason I cannot get the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T to respond. I've tried assigning other key-combinations to Terminal, under keyboard shortcut, but they do not work either. I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed on another machine and I use Unity there too, but the keyboard shortcut works there... Anybody have any ideas as to potential causes...? [07:38] doc-saintly, dd converts adn copies files within a filesystem, meaning it has to be mounted first :) === JRandolp1 is now known as JRandolph [07:38] kirkland: mmm, AFAIK dd is not aware of "files" [07:38] noodlr: install guake and you can have the ter [07:39] doc-saintly: dd copies blocks, those can be files or just raw-stuff [07:39] doc-saintly: what is the exact command you are using? [07:39] ActionParsnip, guake? [07:39] noodlr: the terminal hide and show with F12 (by default) [07:39] http://pastebin.com/bShzSvh3 [07:39] ah [07:39] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/bShzSvh3 [07:39] sudo dd if=/dev/md0 bs=4k | pigz > /dev/sdk [07:39] @ flintwingel [07:39] urfr322g0: http://pastebin.com/bShzSvh3 [07:40] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/bShzSvh3 [07:40] noodlr: ever play quake, halflife or wolfenstein? [07:40] doc-saintly: you cannot traverse > with sudo, use tee or just a plain root-shell sudo -i [07:40] doc-saintly: sudo can't cross pipes | [07:40] doc-saintly: the sudo applies only to the dd, not the pigz [07:40] Jordan_U: Are you present? :-/ [07:40] how do I use the tee llutz_ ? [07:40] san: Still looking good. Now let's see if we can finish with "sudo apt-get purge burg burg-common". [07:41] ActionParsnip, yeah played quake/half-life etc. but was confused by guake... [07:41] I thought it was some ubuntu app [07:41] does anyone know how to mount an hfs+ partition? i've googled but i get error messages when i try to mount... [07:41] i'm wondering what i'm missing [07:41] noodlr: did you ever use the dropdown console during the game? [07:41] chipotle: What error message? [07:42] Are you ignoring me? :/ [07:42] noodlr: it is an ubuntu app [07:42] Jordan_U: ok i admit i installed super boot manager then went to burg then just looked but dint install it then went to themes there i double clicked 1 then 2 BURG themes i just did it to view but it got installed and at that time burg was not installed then i tried installing burg but dint work this is where problem started first i had to install burg then themes [07:42] ActionParsnip, not that I recall, I just blasted stuff until I died [07:42] DansTheMan: No, just trying to support too many people at once (and not just in this channel :) [07:42] Oh okay, apologies [07:42] ActionParsnip, ah, I see... I'm just running guake right now [07:42] urfr322g0: sudo apt-get purge burg burg-common [07:42] doc-saintly: you plan to write gzipped content to a raw-device? how do you plan to restore it? [07:43] chipotle: i've never mounted an hfs partition in my life, but i've seen mention that journalling must be turned off (using Apple, before you can mount in gnu/linux) [07:43] ActionParsnip, does it take terminal profiles? [07:43] chipotle: sudo mount -t hfsplus [07:43] Jordan_U: Do you want all grub2 files to be removed from /boot/grub? [07:43] llutz_: no idea. following directions mostly. I have a 3tb raid that lost its partition, and the only backup I have is ~13gb smaller than the raid. [07:43] Jordan_U: just says thatit is wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1 [07:43] er [07:43] urfr322g0: sudo apt-get purge burg burg-common [07:43] chipotle: sudo mount -t hfsplus [07:43] noodlr: ok well guake is a terminal app that drops from the top on shortcut, you can type a long command, press F12 and it will hide [07:43] so before letting fsck have its way with my raid i was advised to back it up [07:43] chiptole 'apt-cache search hfs' shows some stuff, could use 'hfsutils' maybe, but like zykotick9, i never messed with HFS+ partitions before [07:43] zykotick9: it mounts automagically in ubuntu, but not manually [07:44] urfr322g0: ok i admit i installed super boot manager then went to burg then just looked but dint install it then went to themes there i double clicked 1 then 2 BURG themes i just did it to view but it got installed and at that time burg was not installed then i tried installing burg but dint work this is where problem started first i had to install burg then themes [07:44] Hi today I found the amazing beep command to play a song with given frequencies.because university pc's dont have speakers is there any way that I can listen normal audio (like a music or the system audio) through internal speaker? [07:44] chipotle: ok, then ignore me ;) [07:44] chipotle: Are you sure that it's really a valid hfsplus partition? Can you mount it in OSX? Do you have the right device name? [07:44] hi, a newbie question regarding mail server. If I setup postfix, can postfix both send and receive email to my mailbox? Do I really need to setup other servers like dovecot? What I want is sending email and receiving email to mailbox. that's all. is only postfix enough for handling this job? thanks. [07:44] doc-saintly: i'm not sure but i think that won't work this way [07:44] humungulous: that's what i am doing, sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdc1 /osx [07:44] Jordan_U: yes, yes, yes [07:44] doc-saintly: create a filesystem on that /dev/sdk and write your gzipped backup into a file [07:44] noodlr: you can bring it back with F12 and check it, or run more commands etc. Dead handy and supports tabs [07:44] at least according to disk utility in ubuntu [07:44] ehsan_: Not with anything close to reasonable quality, no. [07:44] Jordan_U: REPLY! Do you want all grub2 files to be removed from /boot/grub? [07:44] chipotle: what if you add -o ro [07:45] chipotle: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o ro [07:45] llutz_: well i was having trouble getting Ubuntu to format it in the first place :\ And, what FS should I use with a 3TB file? [07:45] Jordan_U: Terminal is asking in gui [07:45] I don't care about the quality is it possible technically? [07:45] doc-saintly: ext4, xfs [07:45] ehsan_: Think back to the days of DOS and the audio from those games. That's the best you can get, and you won't get results that good from trying to converting normal audio files. [07:45] hi [07:45] Jordan_U: if i click yes i fear my grub will be deleted and i wont be able to boot again [07:46] ehsan_: Yes, it's technically possible. Almost certainly not worth doing though :) [07:46] why doesn't 'sudo echo "nameserver x.x.x.x" > /etc/resolv.conf work as a user? [07:46] Jordan_U: YES OR NO [07:46] ActionParsnip, it looks quite powerful, seems to have a lot of customisation scope too... but why doesn't Ctrl + Alt + T work? that's really bizarre [07:46] san: Please be patient. [07:46] humungulous: same error [07:46] Jordan_U: sorry... [07:46] san: Click yes. I will help you ensure that your system will still boot afterward. [07:46] chipotle: requires further research then [07:46] Kartagis: echo nameserver x.x.x.x |sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf [07:47] Jordan_U: THanks [07:47] noodlr: not sure dude, sorry [07:47] Jordan_U: Let me know when you're finished, please :) [07:47] san: You're welcome. [07:47] Kartagis: i guess your trying to pipe the echo command ran as root to the file as user [07:47] Jordan_U: done [07:47] Jordan_U: finished without errors === iqpi|off is now known as iqpi|on [07:47] llutz_: then I will not get Permission denied? [07:47] san: you can always rebuild master boot either way. [07:47] ehsan_: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1490771 [07:47] hi [07:48] Kartagis: nope, your sudo won't cross the >, thats why you get the denied error [07:48] san: I recommend you run ppa-purge now, which will ensure that no packages from that ppa are still installed, and will then remove the ppa from your apt sources. [07:48] Kartagis: teh redirect > is setup by the shell before the sudo is run so it has the perms of teh user [07:48] Kartagis: long way to do it is to do first sudo -s and then the echo thingy [07:48] !ppa-purge | san [07:48] hex20dec1: i know but i dont know the way or commands [07:48] san: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [07:48] llutz_: okay thanks [07:48] Jordan_U: which ppa? [07:48] humungulous: i figured out a work around, thanks! [07:48] chipotle: what did you do [07:48] will sudo cp -R not fail for any file, i.e., i don't need an r flag in there too? [07:49] allu2: I'm trying to do it on crontab [07:49] san: The ppa containing BURG. [07:49] so if i go and copy over 1tb of data, i won't wake up disappointed that it got stuck at some file 10mb into it [07:49] Kartagis: ah ok, perhaps a shell script and cron to run it? [07:49] Jordan_U: sorry yesterday did many installations dont know which one is of BURG how do i find [07:49] Hi guys how life [07:49] how can I make sure network-manager kicks in BEFORE cron does? [07:50] Kartagis: theres no need to use sudo in crontabs, use system crontab [07:50] Kartagis: sudo bash -c "echo x.x.x.x > /etc/resolv.conf" [07:50] ActionParsnip, thanks for the guake tip mate :) [07:50] san: "apt-cache policy burg" should tell you what repository it came from. [07:50] Hey guys, if I have a jaunty box... would it be fair/sane to dist-upgrade to karmic (via old-releases.ubuntu.com) to get to lucid? (since do-release-upgrade won't go jaunty to lucid) [07:50] Kartagis: can't you specify the nameserver via networkmanager? [07:50] exit [07:50] !eol | kmdm [07:50] kmdm: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [07:50] kmdm: yes, that's the way you'd do it. [07:50] noodlr: the kde equiv is yakuake. Should be default imho [07:51] Jordan_U: burg: [07:51] Installed: (none) [07:51] Candidate: 1.98+20100623-2.3 [07:51] Version table: [07:51] 1.98+20100623-2.3 0 [07:51] san: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:51] lol [07:51] how do you use tab complete when you come across two similar file names with a space in it, e.g. /media/Test1 and /media/Test 1 -- if you want to tab complete to the latter, Test 1, what do you do? [07:51] llutz_: SO I finally got Disk Utility to think about formatting the external drive, how do I check the progress? [07:51] allu2: I can, but I switch from time to time [07:51] something with backslash? [07:51] chipotle: yes, prefix backslash [07:51] Question, I'm configuring my BIND server and it states to enter subdomains that I currently do not have set up, i.e: ns1.mydomain.com. Do I need to create these subdomains? [07:51] Kartagis: hum ok, so simple scrip you could run to change nameserver would sound easier [07:51] san: Please use pastebin for anything more than one line. [07:52] chipotle /media/Test\ 1\ -- [07:52] chipotle: ? [07:52] so it would change only when needed [07:52] Jordan_U: i am sorry [07:52] chipotle: escape the space. cd /media/Test\ 1 [07:52] humungulous: ? [07:52] chipotle: /media/Test\ should work [07:52] san ? [07:52] Jordan_U: Flannel: Ta for the answers :) [07:53] got it, thanks! [07:53] allu2: I did that, but I was wondering why I was getting Permission denied when I tried to run it on console [07:53] DansTheMan: I can't think of anything at the moment. As a work around you could try installing GDM, but it's entirely possible that the problem is with X or some other subsystem rather than lightdm. [07:53] how can I make sure network-manager kicks in BEFORE cron does? [07:53] kmdm: You're welcome. [07:54] Jordan_U: Okay. so, sudo apt-get install gdm? :S [07:54] Kartagis: change the number at the start of the symlink in the /etc/c.x folders [07:55] DansTheMan: Yes. [07:55] Rc.x sorry [07:55] How long should it take to format a 3tb drive to Ext4? [07:55] Kartagis: i'm not sure i understand what you really want to do, you need to use two different nameservers from time to time and you try to use cron to do what? [07:56] doc-saintly: depends on interface, spindle speed and many other factors [07:56] Jordan_U: Now I'm not connected to the itnernet for some reason :-/ [07:56] is there a way to check the progress? [07:56] allu2: on reboot, revert the resolv.conf [07:56] ActionParsnip: it's not like it has to write all 3tb of data right? [07:56] I managed to brake automatic asking for root password somehow. When I click in install in the Software Center, nothing happens. When I launch Synaptic without gksudo, nothing happens. Only manually starting with gksudo works. With gksudo fonts are broken in Software Center, though. How do I fix that? [07:56] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/855049/ [07:56] doc-saintly: depends what options you used [07:56] Kartagis: ah, how about a script that changes the nameserver and adding it to autostart? [07:56] san: I'm going to be gone for about an hour, maybe more. Hopefully someone else can walk you through ppa-purge. [07:57] ActionParsnip: I'm using the Disk Utility [07:57] Question, I'm configuring my BIND server and it states to enter subdomains that I currently do not have set up, i.e: ns1.mydomain.com. Do I need to create these subdomains? [07:57] Jordan_U: Thanks anyways [07:57] Jordan_U: but [07:57] Jordan_U: hey wat about my gub [07:57] Jordan_U: will i be able to boot again [07:58] YO NIGGA FREE BITCOINS http://bit.ly/4kzYKr [07:58] jadoe: what files have you been messing with? [07:58] jadoe: ubuntu has no root pass either.. [07:58] hex20dec1: noone must know [07:59] doc-saintly: not sure dude. Just let it play. Read a book :-) [07:59] ActionParsnip: ah, it's done now :) So how would you modify the DD command? [07:59] doc-saintly: to achieve what? [08:00] to use DD to backup a drive with compression onto the EXT4 FS I just made [08:00] I need to use compression in the stream because the destination drive is slightly smaller than the original. I would also like to be able to track progress :) [08:00] san: Almost certainly yes. And to be sure we can check with qemu. Do you have qemu installed? (if not, "sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm") [08:01] doc-saintly: 3TB is slightly smaller? [08:01] doc-saintly: if your system uses ext3 you can do all that with partimage [08:01] they're ~13gb off [08:01] ActionParsnip: the problem is the partition "disappeared" on my raid [08:01] I want to do a DD backup of it before I try fsck [08:02] dd-rescue? [08:02] doc-saintly: more appropriate to use cloning/imaging tools for that than dd [08:02] Jordan__U: then [08:02] doc-saintly: its gonna be hugely cpu intensive [08:02] doc-saintly: then dd_rescue may help. Takes an image of the filesystem. Why didn't you backup BEFORE? [08:03] partimage [08:03] hello all, im sure this is a very common problem but not sure how to fix. I have ubuntu installed on a VirtualBox vm. I wanted to turn off GUI so i did based on some googling: 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove' but it still starts up in GUI login. [08:03] !text | monk13 [08:03] doc-saintly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Imaging_a_damaged_device.2C_filesystem_or_drive [08:03] monk13: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [08:03] monk13: just add the boot option: text [08:04] cool thanks guys. i'll check it out.. should i not have removed gdm then? should i restore it? === Companion is now known as companion [08:04] Jordan_U: what is the command for qemu [08:04] ActionParsnip: doc-saintly: I would recommend GNU ddrescue over dd_rescue (they are not the same). GNU ddrescue is in the "gddrescue" package. [08:04] monk13: FYI ubuntu 11.10 doesn't use gdm, thus the failure of your command [08:04] ActionParsnip: I have a backup of most of the important stuff that is ~2 weeks old [08:04] ActionParsnip: the raid was 2.8tb full out of 3tb, and I backed up ~500gb of it to a separate 1tb drive [08:05] acmeinc: the remaining 2.3tb is non-critical videos etc. But I would still like to recover the incremental 2 weeks of data if possible [08:05] zykotick9, PS is the link still valid. i dont see the #Text Mode hash going anywhere. [08:05] san: sudo losetup -r /dev/loop0 /dev/sda && sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && qemu -hda /dev/loop0 [08:05] and, does gddrescue work if the destination is smaller than the source? [08:06] Hi. When I try to add-apt-repository I obtain that: "raise NoDistroTemplateException("Error: could not find a " " In addition, I can't manage repositories with synaptic (it doesn't open the popup for choosing them) ... how can I fix? (oneiric) [08:06] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/855089/ [08:06] doc-saintly: well i guess you could pipe it to tar and compress it [08:06] san: That should bring up a qemu window, and within that window you should see the beginning of a normal boot. It *will* fail to boot completely, because the disk is read only for safety, but if you get past the grub menu you know that grub is working. [08:06] monk13: sorry i don't understand what that means? [08:06] doc-saintly: use an integrated tool that does the compression for you as a built in feature [08:06] the link in the help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [08:07] The hash tag doesnt go anywhere so no info on it. [08:07] doc-saintly: you are guilty of trying to reinvent the wheel here === o_ is now known as longwuyuan [08:07] san: And do *not* pass /dev/sda directly to qemu. Always make a read only "copy" of it with losetup first like I did. [08:07] ~sigh~ alright - what options do I have other than fsck? Is it even worth it to attempt to back it up? [08:07] Jordan_U: losetup: /dev/loop0: device is busy [08:07] i'll google it, just sayin' no info there in \!text [08:07] humungulous: i'm not trying to do anything other than get my data back. I don't care how , but i'm always open to the easiest way [08:07] doc-saintly: fsck usually works very well [08:07] san: sudo losetup -r /dev/loop1 /dev/sda && sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && qemu -hda /dev/loop1 [08:08] Ben64: but the question is are there any other options? If not - is there any point in backing it up? [08:08] doc-saintly: tell you the truth videos will not compress they are already incompressible [08:08] humungulous: indeed, but the destination is only 13gb smaller, out of 3tb [08:08] doc-saintly: it'd be quite hard to get stuff back if the filesystem is unfsckable [08:08] i'm sure there's 13gb to be compressed somewhere in there considering only 2.8tb was used in the raid, [08:08] how can I make sure network-manager kicks in BEFORE cron does? [08:09] doc-saintly: you could end up with larger size [08:09] What do you guys think of cloneZilla as a method to back it up? will it be able to mount the raid? [08:10] Jordan_U: sorry i am not geting [08:10] Jordan_U: showing same msg device busy [08:10] Kartagis: make a script, put it to run on boot via cron, put somewhere something like sleep 60 etc and hope it works ^^ [08:10] san: Have you been mounting isos or similar a lot recently? [08:10] solved (nm) [08:10] doc-saintly: clonezilla is generally pretty good but if you're having problems with missing partions you'll be lucky if it works properly [08:11] so, it sounds like I just need to fsck and pray [08:11] san: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo losetup -a"? [08:11] Jordan_U: now i mounted partitions i transfered media to my portable harddisk today morning [08:12] Jordan_U: /dev/loop0: [0005]:6280 (/dev/sda) [08:12] /dev/loop1: [0005]:6280 (/dev/sda) [08:12] doc-saintly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Testdisk and photorec are good to recover file [08:12] hi, is puppet better than enterprise-puppet [08:12] doc-saintly: fsck runs in to modes, automatic and manual. Automatic will try and fix everything the best way it knows how but it can get things wrong and screw up data. It's main purpose if to put the filesystem back into a consistent state [08:13] Jordan_U: it was NO and not NOW sorry [08:13] so i pressed Shift in the VM startin gup... Im in the grub menu. .... How should i add the text option? i don't see an option here to mess with how grub loads. Guess I need to edit via command line/vi some file? [08:13] true, testdisk and photorec will recover media off a raw disk with a blown partition table [08:13] doc-saintly: if it does screwup in auto mode yu can run it manually === flamengo1 is now known as bamLUCE [08:13] so flintwingel , tell me what you would do. [08:13] I have a 3tb raid 5 that is missing its partition but otherwise is healthy, and no data has been written since the partition was lost. I have a 3tb that is slightly smaller than the raid 5 on a USB3 that is completely empty [08:14] san: Try just "gksudo qemu -hda /dev/loop0". [08:14] testdisk might be able to recover the partition table, actually [08:14] but the RAID factor complicates everything [08:14] doc-saintly: do you know what happened to it? [08:15] Ben64: No. I installed a usb3 card, turned the system on, plugged in the drive, and then the partition for the raid was gone [08:15] doc-saintly: i'd do the dd backup you originally planned. DD from the raw device will not care about partitions & filesystems and at least it will give you a way back to your current state and give you room to experiment [08:15] flintwingel: so I know dd if=/dev/md0 | pigz ... ? [08:15] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/1pDUTX0G [08:15] how do I specify to make a file out of it [08:16] Question, I'm configuring my BIND server and it states to enter subdomains that I currently do not have set up, i.e: ns1.mydomain.com. Do I need to create these subdomains? [08:16] doc-saintly: pigz? [08:16] Ben64: multi-threaded gzip [08:16] Jordan_U: Installing gdm worked. [08:16] zykotick9, any idea what to do once grub menu loads? [08:16] But /me likes the presentation of lightdm. Ohh wells :-/ [08:16] doc-saintly: well with gzip you could do dd if=blah | gzip >> /mnt/directory/file.img [08:16] doc-saintly: what raid level and what devices? [08:16] doc-saintly: if pigz works the same way, you could do that [08:16] flintwingel: raid 5, 4x 1tb [08:16] Ben64: thanks [08:17] Jordan_U: Hey! do i use Super Boot Manager to repair or check my grub? its easy there [08:17] will DD list the progress? [08:17] or is there a way to ask it to? [08:17] doc-saintly: it will if you send it a sigusr1 ( i think ) [08:17] doc-saintly: you can send dd sigusr1 and it will tell you how much data it has shipped up to that point [08:17] Ben64: :S not sure what that is [08:17] Jordan_U: yesterday when burg was not geting installed i changed the resolution and background image of grub2 it worked [08:17] san: I don't know anything about Super Boot Manager personally, but I doubt it can do as foolproof of a verification as this. [08:17] doc-saintly: gimme a sec to make sure [08:17] Hello! When I start a terminal via the menu, it starts in /home/user. I wonder, where this path is defined. Any ideas? [08:18] Jordan_U: so mmm? what now....... [08:18] doc-saintly: kill -USR1 [08:18] san: What happened when you ran "gksudo qemu /dev/loop0"? [08:18] !text [08:18] doc-saintly: yep. start the dd, and "killall -SIGUSR1 dd" [08:18] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

I hadn't considered that you might have two drives and this might be the drive with Windows :) [08:19] theres also a program that if you pipe info through it, it'll give you real time stats [08:19] tyvm. [08:20] k i see, this helped more: http://askubuntu.com/questions/79033/how-to-switch-from-gui-to-console-mode [08:20] Jordan_U: yes i ihave two drives 1 500gb win7 and 1tb ubuntu [08:20] doc-saintly: called pv [08:20] cool. Thanks [08:20] Jordan_U: screen jerks for 2-3 secs and then starting windows [08:20] san: Windows might complain a lot, but you don't need to worry as nothing on the drive can be modified by qemu. Shut down Windows and we'll do this with the right disk this time :) [08:20] 1GB 0:00:10 [ 103MB/s] [ <=> ] <--- example of pv [08:21] So the DD is going. Now, when I run fsck, is there a way to know how successful it was? [08:21] san: Is Windows shut down? [08:21] doc-saintly: it will tell you if there's anything it cant fix [08:21] fsck -V [08:21] Jordan_U: actually i like ubuntu more but u know there are loads of softwares even games which suite win 7 ubuntu is still al lot behind in these matters so i have to keep both [08:21] flintwingel: so, I DD it, I fsck it, then depending on what it says I give testdisk a try? [08:22] Jordan_U: i dint get you? i just closed the terminal after that i m right now in ubuntu [08:22] is there an canto channel ? [08:22] san: The qemu window is gone now, correct? [08:22] doc-saintly: dont forget to grab your wang and pray [08:22] Jordan_U: yes i closed its terminal [08:22] humungulous: lol, been doing that already [08:22] i got error on nslookup [08:22] parse of /etc/resolv.conf failed [08:22] san: OK, can you pastebin the output of "mount"?

[08:29] oh durr. one is for partition recovery, the other is for files [08:30] testdisk is actually a superset of photorec [08:30] Jordan_U: same after 2 sheks Starting Windows [08:31] so you had this 4x 1tb RAID5 array on a hardware controller, was it chipset controlled or a card [08:31] san: Doh.

[08:54] say me how to [08:54] expertarun: what is your hotspot device (as in physical device) [08:54] 10.75.12.1 [08:54] use nmap === bamLUCE is now known as flamengo1 [08:54] expertarun: no [08:54] expertarun: Make and model. As in what company makes it and what model is it? [08:55] expertarun: what device (is it a netgear for example) is your wireless hot spot device [08:55] hi. is there a deb package for vlc mozilla plugin 2.0?

[08:57] he's already been given solutions [08:57] no [08:57] its his fault he won't listen [08:57] expertarun: then this conversation is over [08:57] expertarun: talk to the person who owns the device [08:58] I'm currently running ubuntu server 10.04, I dislike Unity. Should I upgrade? If so, to what? [08:58] I will be ubuntu ninja ;) [08:58] In light of my raid crap-out this wouldn't be a bad time to upgrade [08:58] expertarun: I get the impression you are trying to miss-use someome elses hotspot [08:58] doc-saintly: try some livecd's see what desktop you like [08:58] ikonia, Can i do what i am trying to do please? [08:58] getoff dog [08:58] doc-saintly: look at linux mint [08:58] ikonia: I've played around with Mint, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc., But i'm wondering if they will be functionally the same [08:59] Also - is Ubuntu going to use unity from now on? [08:59] I'm going to do my happy dance now. [08:59] ubuntu-guy: sure [08:59] doc-saintly: ubuntu will be using unity for the future, yes === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`sleep [08:59] if I use something like Kubuntu/Mint, can I expect the same repo's to work etc? [09:00] doc-saintly: ubuntu server does not include a GUI by default. so you can upgrade to ubuntu server 11.10 without having to use unity (you will be using CLI). unless you want a GUI on a server. in which case, you can use any of the alternative DEs like Gnome Shell, KDE, XFCE, LXDE etc. [09:00] doc-saintly: no [09:00] ikonia, thanks for giving me some motivation.... Not understand where i should start for changing this two things correctly.. I need some help [09:00] doc-saintly: pretty much, I've been using Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Mint for a few years and been able to sue the same repos [09:00] ubuntu-guy: read the documentation, if you can't work out where to start, it's probably beyond your ability at this time [09:00] rigved: well i'm not sure I actually got the server version, but rather just the regular and use it as a server [09:01] ikonia, Any suggested Link or tutorial please? [09:01] doc-saintly: there is a separate server version. it is command-line based and more suited for a server. there is no need to have a GUI on a server, right? it seems like a waste of resources... === jesse1 is now known as jesseh [09:02] doc-saintly: or equivalent. Some of the distros maintain their own version of the core Ub repo [09:02] ubuntu-guy: sorry no [09:02] OK [09:02] rigved: well, "server" is relative. I also have it hooked up to a tv to play the videos it hosts :) [09:02] flintwingel: understood, but there's a lot of programs that are lucky to be in the ubuntu repo's, let alone a subset (if it's not compatible with the ubuntu repo) [09:03] Thanks for the advice though :) [09:04] hello all [09:04] I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and have a configured a LAMP server, everything works just fine except my virtual hosts === tobias_ is now known as mezzox [09:04] this server is supposed to host multiple Vhosts, and this is is the configuration of one of them [09:04] is there a way to make it so i can close a maximised window by slamming my pointer in the top-left and clicking? [09:04] http://pastebin.com/ryzxE2uK [09:04] when I access the localhost or the deimos.ma domain name I reach my hello world page without a problem [09:04] but when I try to access it with hope.deimos.ma as I setted it up in my ServerName directive of my Vhost I get an error from the browser [09:05] ie. pos 0,0 instead of moving down/right to actually hit the X button [09:05] how can I fix this please, thank you in advance ! [09:05] woah there is alot of people in here. [09:06] not as many as you'd think [09:06] spudman10392, 1496 [09:06] this is a record for me [09:06] doc-saintly: oh. ok. you should give the new unity (soon to be released in 12.04) a try. it has improved a lot. or you can use one of the other alternative desktop environments (DEs). [09:07] ya, Never seen this many people in IRC before (only been using it for a year lol) [09:07] 1500 [09:07] xD [09:07] <<---likes unity [09:08] mtu?

[09:35] jonah_: what file system do you want to check /home for example ? [09:35] i've ran repair kernel boot up and pressed fsck but it doesn't seem to be doing anything [09:35] jonah_: what file system do you want to check /home for example ? [09:36] ikonia: it's just a standard kubuntu install i want to check the whole disk drive for errors [09:36] ikonia: having massive problems with my computer just freezing [09:37] jonah_: that will not be an fsck issue === michel is now known as Addle [09:39] ikonia: well i have a laptop which didn't work well with standard kernel on install so i updated to mainline ppa kernel and headers etc. it was working great for days. then i tried to install vmware player and virutal box. they didn't install properly so tried to remove them and now after i boot up after a minute everything locks up and mouse freezes and everything === wildbat is now known as Guest56708 [09:40] jonah_: to be honest that doesn't cut it for me "doesn't work well with standard kernel, (howdid you know it wa a kernel problem) updated to a PPA kernel it worked until I did more changes now it doesn't work [09:40] jonah_: it sounds like you are just trying random things to fix things [09:40] ikonia: i just thought an fsck would be the first thing to try to recover my system as i've had to turn it off a few times as can't shut down so wanted to check the disk was ok [09:41] jonah_: if the disk wasn't in a usable state you'd have errors/warnings [09:41] I am running atop and it is idicating red for vmcom: 5.3G and vmlim of 3.8... what does this mean? [09:41] ikonia: i'm sorry, i didn't mean to do the wrong thing but i followed the ubuntu wiki advice to update the kernel here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook [09:42] ikonia: i just want to recover my system that's all and don't know how to get it back how it was yesterday [09:42] jonah_: ok - so that's a bit different, you're following official advice - which is good, doing it "blind" isn't a problem, but then you're changing it by doing thing ssuch as using vmware which requires kernel modules [09:42] ppa kernel can cause all sorts of problems [09:42] i'd suggest using precise over ppa kernel [09:42] I have a project and I'd like to keep track of the changes in case I would like to return back. Should I use Git or Bazaar? [09:43] ikonia: i know i wish i'd just left it! Is there anything I can do to sort it out? [09:43] jonah_: Vmware installs kernel modules, they may/may not be stable with the PPA kernel you are using, it's about trouble shooting the problem and working it through, rather than throwing random things at it [09:43] jonah_: you where probably right to change the kernel looking at that URL [09:43] Ben64: it was working fine though, it must be since trying to remove vmware because that's where the trouble has started [09:44] hi all, my message tray is hidden at the bottom of the screen. how can I make it show? or move it at the top? [09:44] ikonia: i don't know how to now debug and fix this, are you able to help me at all please? if i can get it back how it was i'll never mess with it again i promise!! [09:45] jonah_: I've never used that hardware platform, so I'd need to research what's different that requires a different kernel [09:45] jonah_: you may (this is only a high level suggestion) find it easier to re-install clearn [09:46] ubuntu on android looks really great [09:46] when can we have taste on it? === fireball_ is now known as mi3 [09:46] x25cb: app store [09:46] ikonia: is there no way to just remove all the vmware and virtual box addons/kernel mods [09:46] jonah_: you where using vmware and virtal box [09:47] did you use the same kernel for android and ubuntu? [09:47] ikonia: i think you mean market? :p [09:47] ikonia: i installed vmware player and virtual box only it didn't work due to the kernel being the updated rc one. then i couldn't uninstall them. and now ever since the system is unstable [09:47] x25cb: sure [09:47] jonah_: if I where you - I would re-install [09:48] jonah_: get a known good clean platform [09:48] ikonia: ok fair enough i'll do that then [09:48] thanks [09:49] ikonia: i actually mean this one: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android [09:49] released already? [09:50] x25cb: don't know, what does it say on the page, [09:50] I don't believe it is, [09:50] please help i keep getting http://pastebin.com/T4KLLfpz when installing new application [09:50] hi, how do i disable wifi suspend when closing the lid in lubuntu [09:50] ikonia: i guess it's not yet released too, seems only a youtube demo is released. really looking forward to that [09:51] you talking about pushing ubuntu on a droid dev?

Feel free to discuss it over there. [09:55] Myrtti: oh, noted! thanks :) [09:55] god this is retardedly dificult to work with [09:56] why the hell does the tree view reload and close whatever I'm looking at when something finishes uninstalling [09:56] Beelsebob: tone it down please. [09:56] and why the hell does the whole app close when all the in progress uninstalls finish? [09:57] it makes it virtually impossible to work down the list uninstalling stuff you don't need any more [09:57] Beelsebob: log a feature/bug if you want to change it's behaviour and can't [09:58] how to become a ubuntu expert [09:58] afsal by using it [09:58] afsal: use ubuntu and gain experience with it [09:58] please inform me, nouveau wll be the default driver if nvidia drivers are not installed right?

[11:12] tpudding pop [11:12] ikonia: his problem had nothing to do with redhat, just because that was what he was doing. Sounds like he is just booting into his hard disk, and it has no date setup / battery dead / old machine [11:13] so change the cmos batt [11:15] bsmith093: he's asking how to configure Redhat - that #rhel is the palce to ask [11:16] I've got some problems... I'm new to Ubuntu. Just installed it on my HP Pavilion dv7. Alongside with windows. I really want to delete Windows, but there are several reasons i can't. First of all, the biggest problem is that i can't control screen brightness. Can somebody try to help me deal with it, please? === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [11:17] IceHunter: i had the same issue with an ACER... i've found something on ServerFault taht might be useful... [11:17] IceHunter, you may want to check the forums, and askubuntu.com for that exact make of laptop. There may be some known bugs/work arounds. the odds of someone in here at this time having the exact laptop would be low. ;) [11:18] IceHunter, does it stay bright all the time? or what excactly? [11:19] No, i just cant control screen brightness, neither via operating system, nor with hardware keys (fn + somekey) [11:19] olaaa [11:19] ke pasa lokoo [11:19] !es | alumne [11:19] alumne: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[11:19] !es [11:20] olaa olaaa [11:21] it shuts down normally, works perfect, but then i try to change brightness level, it shows that slider, it is moving, but nothing changes [11:21] IceHunter: there is also the reality that sometimes things like that just don't work/not supoprted [11:22] brightness control not supported? dont you think it is strange? [11:22] worth checking out on the forums and askubuntu at least. there might be some trivial fix. [11:22] thx [11:22] IceHunter, not strange at all. the laptop makers like to do their 'own' thing and not follow any standards [11:23] IceHunter: it's the interface tot he system that controls the brightness control that may not be supported, it's not uncommon [11:23] or they follow 90% of the standard. :) [11:23] IceHunter: theres a 'fix' for ACER laptops, but you could try on yours: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21523/screen-brightness-not-changing-on-acer-5742-notebook [11:23] IceHunter: I'm not saying it's not supported, just be aware that there are some devices that just don't work [11:24] salam kasi nginx kar karde ?

The launcher is not running, alt-tab works but doesn't show the overlay, and the dashboard is missing [11:30] super-w and super-s work though [11:31] actually, I think that is what has happened, the dash and launcher have become "in the background" and behind all the other windows [11:31] they are still there if I do super-w [11:31] just behind everything [11:32] ... fffffffffffffffff [11:32] can any one tell me why when I try to download "sudo wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/FOG/fog_0.32/fog_0.32.tar.gz" I get the file as html?

[11:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1825605 [11:34] also, is it possible to enhance the illusion of continuity by configuring the workspace switcher to switch to "roll-over"? [11:34] How can I do that - change the hide launcher options [11:34] ? [11:34] jrib: ok, what am I doing wrong? how can I download that program? [11:35] playman: visit the link in your browser, it will then download (or you can click on "direct link" on the web page) === raph is now known as Guest85052 [11:35] ziyadb: back in 1999 I used to just have a huge desktop that was oversized from my screen, and would wd/xscript my way around it, and it would scroll on mouse edge too [11:35] ziyadb: then I went the ratpoison way of window confs [11:36] How can I change Ubuntu Launcher Hide Options (to active not dodge all windows, ala http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1825605 [11:37] skdjskdj, compiz tool 'ccsm' has the unity plugin to tweak some things. [11:37] I need an SSH client that tries to auto reconnect if my internet connection fails. [11:37] Dr_willis: do you mean apt-get install compizconfig ? [11:37] !ccsm [11:37] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [11:38] you can break some stuff by messing with ccsm. :) so only change the settings you need. [11:38] right, thought so, what I used to use before this was all nicely integrated [11:38] Dr_willis: I used ot use it in 6,7,8 but was mostly on OSX after that thanks [11:38] hi, is it posisble to set up 2 usb flash drive in RAID 0 configuration in ubuntu? [11:39] skdjskdj, unity has been tweaked by ccsm as long as its been out i thought. [11:39] jrib: I'm trying to download this in another computer, wich does not have GUI (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) and if I click direct link on the webpage it just starts downloading again. [11:39] or gconf- dconf- settings. [11:39] playman: copy the direct link and wget that [11:39] Dr_willis: will it do what I want? [11:39] skdjskdj: heh. [11:39] ziyadb, will what do what? [11:40] Dr_willis: well, remove the thumbnail previews and enhance continuity by rolling-over to the opposite workspace. [11:40] Hey guys, how do I install gnome-shell-extensions? :S Using sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions, just fails and requires me to install a nightly version of gnome (3.3.90). What do I do? :S [11:41] what thumbnail previews? I dont recall seeing them in Unity. [11:41] theTroy: Yes it is. [11:41] ServerSage: any advice where to start? [11:41] theTroy: Are you just looking to have two USB drives plugged in all the time and RAID'ed? [11:41] Dr_willis: the a workspace contents are popped up in a small window at the center of the screen when switching. [11:41] DansTheMan, the Webupd8 blog site has a 'tweaking unity' guide 'things to do after installing 11.10 ...' i belive that gives the exact method to get gnome shell going with that. [11:42] ServerSage: yep, just that, to double the throughput [11:42] ziyadb, thats most likely some other plugin in ccsm. [11:42] jrib: that link is to big to copy manually between computers, "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/freeghost/FOG/fog_0.32/fog_0.32.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Ffreeghost%2Ffiles%2FFOG%2Ffog_0.32%2F&ts=1330083654&use_mirror=switch" no other way of getting a shorter link? [11:42] can anyone help me about codec is not ready? [11:42] Dr_willis: Okay. Just every site I've looked at thus far says to use what I used above. :-/ [11:42] theTroy: Are you familiar with setting up software RAID with hard drives? [11:42] playman: why is it too big? copy and paste [11:42] ServerSage: sadly not [11:42] Dr_willis: cool, I'll try install and see if it solves my problem. [11:43] Anyone know of a console torrent client that supports magnet links? I've been using rtorrent, but it does not support magnet (at least not out-of-the-box) [11:43] Ive neer had to install the nightly-build , you could have some extra ppa's enabled or somthing DansTheMan [11:44] theTroy: You'll want to read up on software RAID. I'd just give you the commands, but I can never remember them off the top of my head. mdadm is the utility you'll be using. [11:45] Dr_willis: Nup, all that's coming up in the synaptic package manager is the 3.3.90 version :-/ [11:45] ServerSage: thanks, Ill read up on the HW set up then, is it identical to usb set up? and how badly will it react if one of the usb drives happens to get unplugged? (during the time when there is no write operation in process) [11:45] jrib: i'm sorry, but maybe I've been not accurade regarding my setup. this computer that I'm using the IRC on is Win XP, the computer I'm trying to intall that program onto is Ubuntu 10.04 wich has no GUI or browsing capability, therefore it's kinda hard for me to just copy and paste. [11:45] playman, why not http://goo.gl [11:47] playman: 1) ssh to the machine with no gui from your windows machine or 2) grep for the link in the html file you just wgetted or 3) connect to irc on the machine with no gui and send yourself the link that way or 4) use a console browser on the machine with no gui [11:47] theTroy: Take a look at http://tinyurl.com/l5ad4y - jump to the mdadm portion. As for how it will handle a drive being unplugged, it will handle it the same as if a drive dies. You'll have to use mdadm to bring the drive back into the array when it's plugged back in. [11:47] DansTheMan, all i recall doing was pasteing some stuff from the webupd8 blog site to get gnome0-shell going months ago when i did a clean install. [11:47] ServerSage: thanks, Ill try :) [11:48] mgj, just googing and saw a mention that --> rTorrent 0.8.7 works fine with magnet links in terms of downloading. [11:48] Dr_willis: Could you please link me to the article? [11:48] theTroy: mdadm looks intimidating at first, but it's actually pretty simple once you start digging in. [11:49] ServerSage: hope so :) [11:49] Dr_willis, oh... Google told me you needed to add a patch and recompile from source to enable it. Will look into it, thanks [11:49] DansTheMan, put in 'webupd8' in your browser and check out their tweak guides [11:49] melvincv: thanks for that, I just didint think that would work, but I was wrong and its working. :) [11:49] Dr_willis: I'm look at the site at the moment. [11:49] mgj, all the patches i saw mentioned were 2+ yrs old. [11:50] mgj, also seen some mention of some sort of 'script' to convert magnet links to normal torrents. [11:50] Off to work for me. bye all. [11:50] theTroy: Actually, I just found this article that is exactly what you hope to do: http://tinyurl.com/6eoh6h [11:51] ServerSage: sweet :) I didnt stumble on this article while searching, thanks! [11:51] jrib: allright thanks for that, just started ubuntu, i'll keep those informations handy. just didint think of ssh, or that I could IRC on it either lol, well thanks again for the help. [11:52] theTroy: Happy to help. You doing RAID0 or RAID1? That article sets up a RAID0. The steps are pretty much the same for a RAID1, you just change --level 0 to --level 1 [11:53] ServerSage: RAID 0, doesnt make sense to do RAID 1 with flash drives really, but thanks a lot, this is exactly what I needed :) [11:53] Hey. Does google have some kind of spyware in Ubuntu? Weird question, but I just noticed 4kb/s going up, not knowing what it was. I ran `netstat -tunawep` and there were a bunch of `sh` processes apparently connected to 74.125.226.88 and other IP addresses, all owned by Google (according to whois, at least). I killed all those, and I even restarted my network, but I still get a bunch of entries to google with "LAST_ACK" as status. I closed my browser an [11:53] d I have no idea where else these could be coming from. [11:53] theTroy: You're welcome. Happy RAID'ing. ;) [11:54] Zoffix: just a wild guess: i.e. gnome 3s sys-prefs allow you to define a google account [11:54] Even putting privacy aside, I really don't want to waste my bandwidth on ... google [11:54] Zoffix: you should look at the whole process name [11:54] jrib, how do I do that? [11:54] Zoffix: htop will tell you I suppose. [11:55] hello i have gnome 3 and unity i want to configure compiz in unity but it crashes gnome 3 [11:55] Zoffix: « ps -ef » will list all commands. Using lsof or netstat with appropriate switches will give you more fine-grained control... [11:56] ps -ef [11:56] fidel, I'm using gnome 2.30.2, and I don't remember seting any google accounts anywhere.

[12:16] l_pottersky, that would put it in background, but the process would still be terminated when you log off the ssh [12:18] Zoffix,IceHunter : I think tomcat has a shell script that actually does this in its bin files.. i dont remember the name though.. [12:18] * Zoffix shrugs [12:19] Zoffix,IceHunter : in our world there is more than one way of doing this i guess :-D [12:19] :) [12:20] hello. So I installed compiz and made the changes I wanted, however, I had inadvertently disabled Unity, now the launcher bar is gone and it appears that I may be on Gnome 2.x, is there any way to revert the changes I have made? By removing the package perhaps? === aman_ is now known as amanthakur === dgjones is now known as DJones [12:21] rajumoh, Why are you telling me this? My question is very different [12:22] IceHunter: type :-p [12:22] IceHunter: typo :-p [12:22] run ccsm and Renable unity or the Webupd8 site has a guide on reseting unity and compiz [12:22] dr_willis: excellent, thank you! [12:23] rajumoh: okay :D [12:24] Is there an easy way to get a program to launch on startup and constantly run in the background (it would reopen itself if it was shut for whatever reason) [12:24] dr_willis: and, we're done. Thank you very much. [12:25] hi I'm trying to forward port 80 to another port using ufw. I have opened port 80 and added a few lines to /etc/ufw/before.rules at the top of the file http://pastebin.com/gyvfuWK2 but it doesn't seem to be working... have I missed something? [12:25] Anomie21: depends on the program to some degree [12:25] dr_willis: It's teamviewer, a VNC program [12:29] hello. I've got some CAD as well as their DWG versions. Can I convert these to svg? what would I use to do so? [12:29] hi all, i am trying to install wine on 64 bit. After apt-get install [12:30] .. ing it, I see: bash: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory [12:30] it seems like the 32bit support is not installed. am i right? [12:31] hi ikonia [12:31] cuco: try purging wine and reinstalling helped for me === vladnastasiu is now known as nastasiu [12:31] Perhaps i will be able to change host ... Just now i need some hint for changing Ubuntu boot logo. [12:32] allu2: did that already [12:32] !plymouth [12:32] 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 » [12:32] cuco: sure? with the apt-get purge wine, also check if there is some winebind or like that staying [12:33] dr_willis, I am customizing LIVE CD [12:33] tss [12:33] ox3a: did you want me? [12:33] just asking [12:34] allu2: the problem is not configuration, it's a loader problem. but.. yes, I did that (apt-get remove --purge) [12:35] ox3a: sorry, you just said "hi ikonia" I wondered if you wanted me [12:35] hi [12:35] any body here [12:35] cuco maybe you have to delete some hidden file or directory [12:35] what is the use of the package (i guess) gettext and xmlto? [12:35] cuco: i had same problem while ago, i remember i removed wine and reinstalled but it didn't help, then i removed something like winebind or winbind and it removed wine and its dependencies and then when i installed it worked, [12:36] NyLes: what do you mean what is the use of them ? [12:36] but ofcourse it can be due to other reasons in my case [12:36] ikonia: i've been trying this; http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/..

[12:37] NyLes: yes, but what do you want to know [12:37] ikonia: are they really essential for upgrading ALSA? [12:37] 13:37 [12:37] NyLes: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ that is what gettext is, is that the sort of thing are you looking for [12:37] NyLes: if the package depends on them - yes they are [12:38] allu2: again, not working.

[12:45] mut3city: I wouldn't worry too hard though as the shop will likley re-image it [12:46] mut3city: most likely the wrong place to ask in the first place. regarding resetting: check if there is some kind of recovery procedure described [12:46] there used to be some update-alsa scripts [12:46] ikonia: thanks for the advice i'll stop this now..

[13:40] 127.0.0.1? ;) [13:40] playman: then when I asked "what you are trying to access" give me the REAL thing you are trying to access [13:40] ikonia: this is how I installed fog, pritty simple http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ubuntu_10.04 [13:40] playman: don't give me fake info [13:41] for a fast quake server join '127.0.0.1' old joke. ;) [13:41] dr_willis: made me smile, so thank you [13:41] ikonia: sorry about that ikonia, i'll keep that in mind from now on [13:41] thx theamin ~ [13:41] playman: I'll ask again "what url are you trying to access" [13:41] linux expects me to type something it stands on myusername@computerName [13:42] any idea what should I do? [13:42] new2ubuntu: what is the question [13:42] new2ubuntu: thats the console/shell [13:42] i just installed ubuntu [13:42] new2ubuntu: Does "startx" do anything? [13:42] ikonia: http://192.168.1.1/fog/management [13:42] l [13:42] new2ubuntu: ok [13:42] just a sec, I'll tell you what happens [13:42] ikonia: added to the pastie we've been working on [13:42] playman: ok - so you need to make sure apache is set to listen on the IP address 192.168.1.1 and that port 80 is not firewalled [13:42] !info fog [13:42] Package fog does not exist in oneiric [13:42] ikonia: (s)he fails to run lightdm apparently [13:42] theadmin: who/what/where ? [13:42] it says server error? [13:43] ikonia: new2ubuntu === Caspercom is now known as Caspercom|AFK [13:43] theadmin? [13:43] MatisM_: don't see the info - please just give me the info I'm asking for [13:43] new2ubuntu: Uh, huh. Okay, can you try booting with nomodeset? [13:43] that's what i did [13:44] and ended up here [13:44] I mean on this screen [13:44] I type my username and pass [13:44] new2ubuntu: Well, I take it the same thing happens without nomodeset too? [13:44] without nomodeset it's black screen === fireball is now known as Guest47637 [13:44] laptop has some issues with graphics [13:44] new2ubuntu: Hm, okay. What is your GPU (graphics card)? [13:44] so I activated nomodeset [13:44] radeon 6830g I think [13:44] anybody know how to install ubuntu on sony vaio series s?? i can't install with ubuntu 10.04 === noobuntu is now known as bull === Guest47637 is now known as mi3 [13:45] it's hp pavilion g7 laptop === bull is now known as bulll [13:46] Hi, I am updating my natty with the latest updates and I would like to know how can I backup those updates . [13:46] anybody know how to install ubuntu on sony vaio series s?? i can't install with ubuntu 10.04 [13:46] new2ubuntu: Hm... Radeon or Radeon HD? I dunno if the old Radeon are even supported anymore [13:47] just aa sec [13:47] (I'm not too into graphic cards or hardware in general though) === armandoborntotau is now known as iBuntu [13:47] new2ubuntu: lspci | grep VGA [13:47] l [13:47] is this quite high as load averages? 3.46, 3.46, 3.60 [13:47] it's hd [13:48] !find fglrx [13:48] Found: fglrx, fglrx-amdcccle, fglrx-amdcccle-updates, fglrx-dev, fglrx-updates [13:48] AdvoWork: well. Yes. But it depends, really. The number is the number of processes willing to run. [13:49] new2ubuntu: Just grab fglrx and it should work... I hope [13:49] I am updating my natty with the latest updates and I would like to know how can I backup those updates manually and then again reinstall those updates on an offline pc without any software [13:49] how to grab? :D [13:49] type it? [13:49] new2ubuntu: sudo apt-get install fglrx [13:49] ok, thanks I'll try that [13:49] new2ubuntu: That is given you have a network connection [13:50] c [13:50] hey guys whenever I try to open up ubuntu software center it takes forever, then automatically turns grey and I have to force quit. Any thoughts? I"ve already tried sudo-apt --reinstall install software-center [13:51] any suggest me? [13:51] well i2c. It might just be busy. [13:51] mi3: I don't really get what you want to achieve. [13:51] can anyone suggest me? [13:51] muelli, what can i do to work out why its so high? [13:51] i2c: software-center is pretty heavy, have you considered trying Synaptic? [13:51] i2c try updating to a new version [13:52] ikonia: there, in the same pastebin, at the bottom of everything, sorry its difficult to use the connection right now from ubuntu, im moving the command results through text files in a pendrive now [13:52] AdvoWork: you can check with tools like "htop" what processes are running and in which state they are. Then you get an idea of what processes cause the load. === toxboi` is now known as toxboi [13:52] mi3, you can grab the debs from /var/cache/apt/archives/ [13:53] muelli, I am updating my system and its receiving those updates [those deb files] I want to backup those and save them, then I want to install them on an offline pc that has never connected to the internet [13:53] MatisM_: sorry, not interested any more, I'm asking for information and not getting it. [13:53] Question - this is such a minor thing, but I'm just THAT curious. Why is it when I format a drive in disk utility, I have 2 mb unallocated, while in gparted it leaves 0 mb allocated? What's stranger yet is if I format it with gparted (leaving 0 mb unallocated) and try to add it to my software raid array, it times out and fails, whereas if I format it with disk utility (leaving 2 mb unallocated) it works just fine. Very minor, but I [13:53] ikonia: second chance please! I really need help with this [13:53] yeah mi3. I think you need to backup /var/cache/apt. But I'm not entirely sure whether that's everything. [13:53] roasted_: it's just rounding [13:54] ikonia: don't you think it's strange 1 works as raid and th eother does not, though? [13:54] roasted_: it shouldn't make a difference, and in all the years I've used raid I've never had an issue due to rounding [13:54] escott there are a lot of deb files, how do I backup them? [13:54] ikonia: sorry for the long respond, I checked the httpd.conf file and it's empty, I should se there if my apache is listening. right? [13:54] roasted_: I suspect there a different problem that you are assoticating with this [13:54] muelli i want to backup my updates dude [13:54] roasted_: I don't know but I can imaging metadata taking up some space. And well, if there's no space left, it might not be able to write the metadata [13:54] mi3: yes. [13:54] ikonia: http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=4f4796aa0e81f [13:55] ikonia: have you ever set up software raid after ubuntu is already installed? [13:55] roasted_, two possibilities (a) alighnment and (b) something gpt related. i think gpt leaves a bit at the front of the disk unused so as not to trample on mbr tables [13:55] muelli: that was kind of my thought process too. [13:55] playman visit https://help.ubuntu.com - look in the server section there is a guide on how to setup apache [13:55] escott: I'm not using gpt. [13:55] roasted_: many many times [13:55] ikonia: when you prep the drives, do you use gparted, disk utility, or terminal? [13:55] roasted_: personally fdisk [13:55] mi3, how were you planning to get files to the offline machine? [13:56] roasted_: no reason other than personal preferences [13:56] muelli how to backup them? also i would like to install them on an offline pc so tell me how to do so [13:56] ikonia, yo [13:56] remember me? [13:56] ikonia is popular today [13:56] LukeNukem: as we only spoke yesterday, yes [13:56] ikonia: I hear ya. hey by chance do you have a preference between mbr and gpt? [13:56] MonkeyDust: can you help me with my weird internet connection problem? [13:57] MatisM_, what is it [13:57] escott ,by a flash drive, u know , with those updates copied to a flash drive and then moved to the offline pc [13:57] roasted_: mbr is nothing to do with gpt, if you mean dos partitions and gpt, unless I have a technical reason (2TB or greater or EFI ) or until dos becomes more retired I'll keep it simple with dos tables [13:57] ciao list [13:57] hello there, can somebody help me? i'm trying to format and partition a microsd card with gparted, but always when i'm trying to make a ext4 partition my /dev/sdb gets unmounted. after mounting it again, it says that gparted cannot detect the new partition [13:57] ikonia: I know they have nothing to do each other, and yes I meant the disk size/EFI. Speaking of which, if my board is "UEFI enabled" is that referencing EFI that GPT needs? [13:58] ciao list [13:58] mi3: *shrug* copy them on a pen drive and move them over to the other machine. [13:58] ubottu: tell bisceglia about list [13:58] LukeNukem: The connection from my desktop pc with ubuntu 10.4 is reconnecting over and over again, like several times per minutes, as I surf the web, or do anything on internet, in the same pc in windows, the connection is working perfectly [13:58] bisceglia, please see my private message [13:58] LukeNukem: http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=4f47819721f85 [13:58] mi3, if the machines are identical and the flash drive is large enough you could rsync -delete from the /var/cache/apt/archives/ on a regular basis. that would be the easiest way to get updates over [13:58] LukeNukem: there is lots of information [13:58] roasted_: if you know they are nothing to do with each other, why did you ask if I prefered MBR or GPT knowing they where nothing to do with each other [13:58] escott? [13:58] ciao list [13:58] mi3, although you would also need to copy the updated apt dependency lists [13:58] MatisM_, gee sorry, dunno man [13:58] good luck [13:58] ikonia: I looked at MBR vs GPT as ext3 vs ext4. [13:58] bisceglia [13:58] my volume icon near the time has gone, Im using gnome 3. [13:58] roasted_: UEFI enabled doesn't mean you have to use it [13:59] !list | bisceglia [13:59] bisceglia: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [13:59] what do I have to install ?= [13:59] roasted_: MBR is "master boot record" - it's nothing to do with the partition table [13:59] roasted_: the partition tables are GPT and DOS based [13:59] ikonia: oh. I guess I got confused with disk utility then, because it asked me which kind of partition structure I wanted when I went to format the volume. [13:59] Is there any channel available for tweaking terminal? [13:59] roasted_, if gpt does not require efi. you can have gpt on bios systems. but if you have uefi enabled you are supposed to use gpt to boot [13:59] how do i set up iptables in ubuntu ? [14:00] and arp tables [14:00] roasted_: it's easy to make the mistakes, I'[m only being picky to make sure I'm answering the question you are "really" asking [14:00] is there any way of recovering the volume indicator in gnome 3 ? === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [14:00] hello there, can somebody help me? i'm trying to format and partition a microsd card with gparted, but always when i'm trying to make an ext4 partition my /dev/sdb gets unmounted. after mounting it again, it says that gparted cannot detect the new partition [14:00] !pm| MatisM_ [14:00] mi3 how do I update to a newer version? and software center worked for the longest time...

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [14:00] escott: I didn't specifically set up gpt on my boot drive. I know my board said UEFI enabled but that was as far as I got with it. [14:00] guys i have a network hd that has a interface, at my mac i do a smb://ip and it mount up my hd, how do i do something like that at ubuntu? [14:00] how do i set up iptables in ubuntu ? [14:00] escott tell me all the steps i am a newbie dude never tried that before, 1st how to backup them? i know the folder and i copied them, nut there is a lock icon on those deb files [14:00] v01d`: check ufw [14:01] chown_: you mount if via cli or via your file-browser [14:01] !ufw | v01d` [14:01] v01d`: 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. [14:01] ikonia: well if you have a second, pop into disk utility sometime, pop in a flash drive you can sacrifice (only because I would never recommend touching the next step on a live drive, even if you would utilize the cancel button) then hit "format volume". I saw MBR, GUID, and several other things there. I just associated them as being similar to ext2 vs 3 vs 4, etc [14:01] i2c u can update the software center from the update manager, just reload the lists and install from that ok [14:01] is there any way of recovering the volume indicator in gnome 3 ? [14:01] ubottu: can you help me? The connection from my desktop pc with ubuntu 10.4 is reconnecting over and over again, like several times per minutes, as I surf the web, or do anything on internet, in the same pc in windows, the connection is working perfectly [14:01] MatisM_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:02] Please can someone help me With Linux Mint in #ubuntu-offtopic? [14:02] roasted_: nah, totally different things [14:02] hello there, can somebody help me? i'm trying to format and partition a microsd card with gparted, but always when i'm trying to make an ext4 partition my /dev/sdb gets unmounted. after mounting it again, it says that gparted cannot detect the new partition [14:02] mi3: I believe it's already updated. I hit check for updates and I get nothing. (I update daily, I'm kinda anal about that) [14:02] ikonia: mbr was default so I just left it alone. [14:02] roasted_: nothing wrong with that, simple [14:02] hehehehe [14:03] and also on arp tables [14:03] fidel: how do i do that? [14:03] then still it gets hanged i2c? [14:03] yes sir [14:03] chown_: depends on what you use [14:03] when I open up software-center via command line, it throws a bunch of python errors at me [14:03] The connection from my desktop pc with ubuntu 10.4 is reconnecting over and over again, like several times per minutes, as I surf the web, or do anything on internet, in the same pc in windows, the connection is working perfectly ANYONE to help me please? thanks in advance [14:03] try uninstalling then re installing it [14:03] chown_: cli-wise its using the mount cmd [14:03] fidel: on my mac i do: smb://ip/partition [14:03] ikonia: I had originally formatted my one drive with GUID, and I noticed when I went to edit the file system type, things were wildly different. Instead of linux raid autodetect (0xfd) it now simply said linux raid. The options were simpler, etc. It wasn't until I went to my other drive, stll live in the raid, that I saw it was mbr. so I reformatted the target drive (drive b) as mbr, then 0xfd was available and I set the type as su [14:03] mi3, i've never done this so I can't give you all the steps. all i can say is that apt needs a list of the files to install and their checksums and then will look into /var/cache/apt/ to see if the files were already downloaded. so what you need to get over to the other machine is the *.deb files and the updated package archive list. and you would put those in /apt. alternately if you can get a bigger disk to do the transfer you could tr [14:03] y and use apt-mirror [14:03] chown_: you arent listening ;) [14:03] ohh [14:04] roasted_: GUID is very different [14:04] give me the paste of that will u.... [14:04] hello there, can somebody help me? i'm trying to format and partition a microsd card with gparted, but always when i'm trying to make an ext4 partition my /dev/sdb gets unmounted. after mounting it again, it says that gparted cannot detect the new partition [14:04] ikonia: oh, when I googled it people were associating htem as the same. [14:04] err escott? [14:04] ikonia: are there any advantages to guid over mbr? [14:05] udonthavetoknow_, double check that it doesnt have a write protect switch on the card [14:05] ok is there a GUI to create a backup? escott? [14:05] The connection from my desktop pc with ubuntu 10.4 is reconnecting over and over again, like several times per minutes, as I surf the web, or do anything on internet, in the same pc in windows, the connection is working perfectly ANYONE to help me please? thanks in advance http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=4f47819721f85 [14:05] roasted_: bigger disk size support really, that's about it === DRW_ is now known as ff [14:05] Roasted, guid is group user id i think [14:05] mi3, not that i am aware of [14:06] haylo: you're right, but we're talking about a different type of guid in regard to partition table schemes. :) [14:06] ikonia: gotcha. thanks bro. [14:06] roasted_, ikonia more partitions, larger partitions, and the entry tables are bigger so more can be stored in the entry table, and there is a backup table at the end of the disk [14:06] ok then if u had to install updates to an offline pc suggest me what would u do? [14:06] WOW. I just tried doing sudo-software center, and it worked perfectly. [14:06] escott: ahhh yes, more partitions is another good point [14:06] ok then if u had to install updates to an offline pc suggest me what would u do?escott [14:06] escott: would it be more logical for me to use that type of setup on a raided /home volume? [14:07] mi3, its a lot of sneaker work to shuffle files back and forth. is there a way to make this an online machine? [14:07] hehehehe [14:07] roasted_: I don't think you'd see a benifit as the raid info is held in the private regions of the disk [14:07] udonthavetoknow - have you tried mkfs from a shell? [14:07] Is there a good tutorial on how to set up a secure server? I feel like settings up a chroot for each daemon is a good idea but I have no idea how this stuff works. === administrator is now known as Guest57423 [14:08] justsighdudes: it's not a good idea, [14:08] roasted_, one argument for gpt would be that a raid array might live longer than any single disk in the array and your next disk is likely to be too big for mbr. so if you start with gpt today you can be a consistent gpt all the way through [14:08] justsighdudes: not all applications can function in a chroot enviornment, some have that configuration built in, others you'd have to build a whole machine chroot just to run a daemon. [14:08] escott: gpt? or guid? [14:08] who is chinese ? [14:08] i am just taking an example escott incase i am left totally without an internet connection and pc that has not been updated for months, know what i am saying :) [14:08] Guest57423: most people in #ubuntu-cn [14:09] hehehehe [14:09] ok i think I'm missing something.. please analyze this for me im begging you guys.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/855389 [14:09] nice answer bastidrazor [14:10] hahahahahahaha [14:10] ikonia: I'm reading GPT and GUID are the same thing... [14:10] why your speak chinese?? [14:10] :) "most people in ubuntu-cn hahahahahahahaha === hemanth is now known as Guest10809 [14:11] i wish i could speak chinese [14:11] thunderbird has just upgraded to 10.0.2, and wouldn't install lightning -- now google calendar doesn't work -- recent updates have worked transparently? - any word on where this is going? [14:11] 怎么没人打中文？？ [14:11] roasted_, gpt uses guids (in mbr your guid is put not in the partition table but in the pbr AFAIK) [14:11] escott: I'm reading GPT is just an appreviation for GUID Partition Table... [14:11] MBR - Master Boot REcord etc [14:12] Guest57423 please type /join #ubuntu-cn [14:12] thanks [14:12] mi3, its hard to work with hypotheticals. hypothetically if the US and russia launch their nukes canonical won't be producing many updates so i wouldn't worry [14:12] escott: hehehehehehe [14:12] ikonia: sorry about this, but both /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and /etc/dhcpd.conf are blank, I used to have fully working dhcpd server before the install of the fog program, is that normal? [14:13] roasted_, there are technical limitations (disk size) that are forcing the move to GPT, but GPT includes many of the best practices (like partition guids that you see with sudo blkid) into the partition table [14:13] escott: hey atleast in modern warfare 3 they did[hypothetically] [14:13] playman, /etc/dhcp3-server.dhcpd.conf [14:13] hehe [14:13] Nukebuntu [14:13] playman, /etc/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.conf [14:13] escott: while I'm already tinkering with my partitions I might as well move them over just for tinkering. [14:14] playman forget it, am reading what I want... not what is written.. [14:14] where are you from?? [14:14] playman, why are you mixing apache conf and dhcp conf? [14:14] roasted_, the reasons for using gpt on a new disk are decent. the reasons for switching to gpt on a prexisting disk are less compelling. also be very careful to remove the mbr partition if you switch. or create a protective mbr partition [14:15] roasted_, this will tell you everything you need to know and more http://www.rodsbooks.com/ [14:15] playman, /etc/apache2.apache2.conf [14:15] ok i have been trying to convert COMPLETELY to ubuntu to get rid of windows... but i have a music problem... i have imported all my music from iTunes into my ubuntu system... however i have one tiny issue... my itunes purchased songs [14:15] !pm > Guest57423 [14:15] Guest57423, please see my private message [14:16] has anyone figured a roundabout way to get my iTunes purchases to work in Ubuntu [14:16] Trevor69420, you probably need to remove the drm from the m4a files [14:17] escott: these are just data disks. I guess I could do it one of two ways. It's a raid. I could either remove drive A, format to GUID, sync up to drive B (still mbr) then remove drive B, format to GUID, sync to drive A. This is assuming I can do that, but in software raid I don't think it would matter. [14:17] playman: dhcpd.conf is nothing do to with apache [14:17] bluefrog: /etc/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.conf is also blank. what do you mean about mixing? well I have the file/etc/apache2/apache2.conf [14:17] playman: and as I've told you https://help.ubunu.com look in the server info for how to setup apache [14:17] escott yea thats what i figured... not sure if theres a tool for that that might run on ubuntu [14:17] playman, what are you trying to? configure a web server AND configure a dhcp server? [14:18] roasted_, you can have both gpt and mbr on the same disk (so long as they are consistent) so you might want to try switching with gdisk by just changing the partitiont ables (gdisk can create hybrids) [14:18] hello [14:18] playman: your problem is you need apache to listen on the right ip address - those two files are nothing to do with that [14:18] ikonia: I know but I just wanted to check dhcpd.conf and found it strange that the file was empty [14:18] playman [14:18] \??> [14:18] escott: eh, I'd rather just push it all to gpt if mbr offers me nothing but scaling limitations for the future. [14:18] playman: fix the problem in hand - which is apache is not listening on the right IP [14:18] ikonia? [14:18] escott: as long as software raid can sync an mbr disk to gpt, then I can do 1 drive at a time like that without issue. [14:18] Trevor69420, i dont believe those tools work on linux. they need the encryption keys that are associated to your itunes accounts [14:18] bluefrog: i'm trying to setup fog server [14:19] roasted_, i would say that if you have a working system not to mess with it. there really isn't much to gain [14:19] escott: it's a system I'm rebuilding, so if I'm going to do it, now is the time. [14:19] escott: otherwise I probably wouldn't care much at all. [14:19] ikonia: yeah i'm sorry i'm trying to read trough the https://help.ubuntu.com [14:20] escott: then again, even if I move to a larger array, I'll have to set up a new array to begin with. It's not like I can easily port this array over. [14:20] escott: perhaps it's a moot point? [14:20] hello???????????????????????????????? [14:20] escott: especially if there's no higher data reliability or speed increase... [14:21] I'm newbie and I need a little help with gnome classic [14:21] roasted_, it depends on how your array is configured. if you have lvm on top of mdadm you can just add new lvm sectors to a new array [14:21] escott: no lvm is involved [14:21] escott: just a basic mdadm mirror [14:24] escott thanks for the advices!! [14:26] Hi. I'm new to Freenode IRC so if there's any introductory protocol I'm missing, please let me know. I'm having a problem with my Kubuntu Lucid and am hoping that someone might be able to give me some advice? === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [14:27] is it possible for someone to send a malicious link to firefox and hijackt it under ubuntu ? [14:27] Valkyr, the main part of the protocol you missed is where you ask your question. [14:27] Thanks. Here it is. [14:27] The problem is with my screen/monitor in KDE. I was trying to adjust the “brightness” setting to something lower using the slider, but when I hit “apply” the monitor seemed to just shut off. I can tell I'm still logged in because my computer is set to logout in 30 seconds if I hit the “power” button once. It logs me out and I can see the startup/login screen just fine. I can also see everything if I log into Gnome Desktop, [14:27] Valkyr: you have to buy us a beer first [14:28] ciao a tt [14:28] *monitor goes off and I can hear the login sound but still can't see anything. [14:28] !list [14:28] No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [14:28] i clicked on an image here earlier on - mudkip - that orbii posted ever since its been opening strange pages from my cache [14:28] Valkyr, sounds like the backlight is turning off instead of lowering in brightness. can you get a bright lamp and shine it on the display to confirm [14:29] I'll dig up my flashlight and give that a try. [14:30] I can't actually see anything shining a bright light on it. === companion is now known as Companion [14:31] ikonia: just a thought, does it matter if the ubuntu is 192.168.1.1 and the XP is 192.168.111.198? the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 on both machines [14:31] playman, yes [14:32] hello, I get two addresses for archive.canonical.com: 91.189.88.33 and 91.189.92.191 -- the latter one seems to have outdated repository contents, at least for the file /ubuntu/dists/lucid/partner/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 [14:32] that would be 2 different subnets i think. ;) [14:32] yes playman theyre on different networks [14:33] If it were the backlight shutting off, is there a combination of buttons I would press or something to turn it back on? [14:33] ok I know they are on different networks, I thought that they could still comunicate if told so [14:33] Valkyr, well assuming that the monitor isn't being turned off by dpms, but rather that the backlight is being turned off. then the issue would with your acpi tables. you would have to do some searches for your specific hardware to identify if there is a workaround/update to the kernel acpi tables [14:34] if you change 111 to 1 they will be all good [14:34] playman, depends on what lies between the subnets, but local services are usually configured to ignore traffic from outside subnets [14:35] Okay. I will do some research on that. What if it's being turned off by dpms? [14:35] M4dH4TT3r: ok i'll change that, and check it again. [14:35] escott ok thanks for that [14:35] HELLO? [14:35] hhsahaaahahah [14:35] alisunjaya_: yeah, you're heard. === qing_ is now known as qing2 [14:36] playman [14:36] ? [14:36] Valkyr, i think thats unlikely. but if it were there are cli utils for X to change the dpms settings [14:36] alisunjaya_: you have a support question? [14:36] bastidrazor? in ubuntu chat? [14:36] i user ubuntu 11.04 [14:36] alisunjaya_ yes? [14:36] hhehe [14:36] playman, I assume a route is in place for both subnets to communicate? [14:36] playman [14:36] where do you live?

[14:43] oops sorry [14:44] ubuntu realase 12.04 bulan 4 [14:44] So here's a weird one: my machine was bogging down horribly yesterday, so I restarted, and when it booted back up, it seemed as though all of my configurations had been wiped, e.g., hotkeys and such, and a panel showed up behind the GNOME Shell application bar at the top. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 running GNOME Shell. [14:44] bluefrog: yea was starting to look into that, wanted to change the dhcpd.conf but it's blank, and it's there where I can make the ubuntu machine part of the same network. right? [14:45] playman, not at all. I believe you may have some things to learn before setting up any kind of servers... [14:45] alisunjaya_: is there some reason you are using the alpha version? [14:46] ikonia: Sorry, could you repeat what you said re: chrooting daemons? irssi is not playing nice. [14:47] Question - If I can't see anything at all of the screen, how would I apply any changes to the APCI? [14:47] ACPI* [14:47] bluefrog: well i'm trying to learn :) i'm just new to the whole server thing. all i'm trying to do now is to setup a fog server to take care of image installing on PC's I have to format. wanted to be able to store the install image on a server and use the ethernet to setup the pc's [14:47] ikonia: Nevermind. Just discovered /LASTLOG [14:48] Valkyr, it could be that the flashlight is just not bright enough, but that the LCD is still active and updating, but the particular configuration of the display means you absolutely cannot read anything without the backlight [14:48] hi [14:48] playman, have a look at clonezilla. might be easier for you to understand / put in place [14:49] bluefrog: you gotta start somewhere right? [14:49] Valkyr, the fact that this happens when you try and change the backlight is obviously suggestive of a backlight related issue, and the backlight is controlled through ACPI and there be the dragons there [14:50] DR WILLS? alpha i uer realase ubuntu 11.04 no alpha? [14:50] but 12.04 alpha? [14:50] bluefrog: wery well, i've gotten used to ppl giving up on me any way. i'll check that clonezilla [14:50] hahahahahah [14:50] lol [14:50] is it possible for someone to send a malicious link to firefox and hijackt it under ubuntu ? [14:50] @escott - Okay. I will find a brighter light and shut off the lights around the computer. If I can see it then, then should I assume that something like resetting things to their default configs would bring it back? [14:50] Valkyr, do you know much about ACPI? [14:50] playman, not a problem of giving up on you. teaching networking and so on is not something you do over IRC [14:51] playman, takes time to learn. [14:51] Nothing at all. Just that it stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. [14:51] Is there a way to use features from Unity in Unity-2d (mainly the workspace switcher) [14:51] kalimojo: unlikely. but stupid users can do stupid things [14:52] So here's a weird one: my machine was bogging down horribly yesterday, so I restarted, and when it booted back up, it seemed as though all of my configurations had been wiped, e.g., hotkeys and such, and a panel showed up behind the GNOME Shell application bar at the top. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 running GNOME Shell. [14:52] Thoughts? [14:52] wormmd: check the configuration files, see if they are blanked [14:53] is it possible for someone to send a malicious link to firefox and hijackt it under ubuntu ?? [14:53] bluefrog: yeah I know. I was able to setup my own DHCP server on the ubuntu machine, so seting up the fog should not have been so much trouble, except it seems to have deleted all the settings i've made and left me in the dark. [14:53] Is it possible to launch a gnome-terminal and have its task icon be something custom? [14:53] ciao a tutti [14:53] kalimojo: depends if they know a security hole [14:53] Valkyr, so its a set of "standards". by the standards the kernel looks up some table in the bios and the table indicates that by putting values x,y,z into register location r the hardware will change settings in some nice way, but half the time those bios tables are wrong (or the hardware is not following the standard) so the kernel says I have 10 backlight levels with register values x1 to x10, but the hardware is not following those va [14:53] lues the way the kernel thinks it should. so the kernel thinks it is lowering the backlight to the middle level, but its actually turning the backlight off [14:54] dr_willis : are you saying its possible for malicious web sites to compromise firefox on ubunhtu ? [14:54] kalimojo: if the person writing the attack knows of a security hole, sure [14:54] How can I change the default 'installing missing plugins' firefox dealio to just use gksudo, rather than gksu? Running a ubuntu-minimal 11.04 install here [14:54] Valkyr, and so you need to find a workaround to deal with your (broken) backlight and handle it differently. the kernel has various boot options including some that will change the acpi backlight handling [14:54] kalimojo: I can break into fort knocks if I know there is a hole in their security [14:55] ikonia: can i be a part of your team. i can drive the getaway car. [14:55] escott - so then the workaround would start with something from the bios screen? (booting with F* or something)? [14:55] kalimojo: worse case user may mess up stuff in their home. but unlikely [14:55] F8* sorry. [14:56] Valkyr, see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_ACPI_work (although this has more kernel compile related stuff which you dont want to do) http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt [14:56] Valkyr, so the workaround is to figure out if someone has the same laptop as you and has posted a solution [14:56] Thank you! [14:56] dang, chroot install rather [14:56] ikonia : are you saying firefox is vulnerable ? [14:56] Valkyr, if not then you can modify /etc/default/grub to include some of these kernel boot parameters to try and make the backlight work [14:57] kalimojo: all software "may" be vulnerable the problem is you don't know of a vulnerablility until someone finds it [14:57] ikonia, if you broke into fort knox u'd be terribly disappointed [14:57] Valkyr, in particular acpi_backlight=[vendor,video] option [14:57] is there any way of recovering the volume indicator in gnome 3 ? [14:57] hello , I use ubuntu 11.10 and i have this USB disk with very important powerpoint files that i have deleted by accident by shift+delete .. can any one help [14:57] HoNgOuRu, what volume indicator? [14:57] ikonia : are there any KNOWN vulnerabilities in FIREFOX ? that you know of ? [14:58] the icon next to the time. [14:58] !testdisk | dr3mro [14:58] to control the audioo [14:58] kalimojo: check the securit CVE reports, that will show you current alerts and versions [14:58] !undelete | dr3mro [14:58] dr3mro: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [14:58] kalimojo: check the various browser security sites [14:58] kalimojo, I'm really curious as to why you're so curious... [14:59] dr3mro, assuming that this is a vfat usb stick testdisk or photorec should handle the situation fairly well. just umount that partition so that you aren't writing anything to it [14:59] escott, photorec is able to retore ppt files? [14:59] HoNgOuRu, there is an icon just to the left of the networking icon which is sound [15:00] escott that one is gone! [15:00] dr3mro, i don't know if photorec identifies ppts, but testdisk should be able to read the old fat entries [15:01] escott, that one is missing [15:02] How can I change the default 'installing missing plugins' firefox dealio to just use gksudo, rather than gksu? Running a debootstrap 11.04 install here [15:02] HoNgOuRu, if you go into control center is your sound working there? [15:02] hey all, need a little help. After rebooting ubuntu (and using it forever and a day) all of a sudden it's starting up in intramfs/busybox, is there anything I can do to prevent this? Or any commands to run to help you help me? [15:02] only the dog barking ...the rest is gray like disabled [15:02] people, should i ask source /etc/profile in my .bashrc? [15:02] i thought on ubuntu gksu and gksudo we identical. [15:02] wormmd ; cos i think ive been hacked thats why [15:03] hey, how do you set an environment variable using bash on ubuntu as root? methinks the root account is disabled - and sudo export don't work. [15:03] it's ok, I can wait :) [15:03] someone sent me a link of a mudkip and my browser was asked to restart. its done several odd things since then. [15:03] HoNgOuRu, sounds like you have a more general alsa/pulse-audio issue [15:03] maasha: /root/.bashrc perhaps [15:03] wormmd someone sent me a link of a mudkip and my browser was asked to restart. its done several odd things since then. [15:03] I uninstalled alsa [15:04] cause flash videos were playing with no sound at all [15:04] HoNgOuRu, and what did you expect would happen then [15:04] maasha: sudo export would be pointless [15:04] I got pissed off [15:04] escott, :) ,,, sound is working. [15:04] dr_willis: yes, what is the way? [15:05] maasha: totally depends on the details. root has their own .profile and .bashrc [15:07] can i send an x11 application to the background via the terminal if i start it with the terminal? [15:07] xubuntu5, ctrl-z; bg [15:08] dr_willis: I need to run sudo gem update --system. That can only be done if a certain env variable is set. [15:08] and that will send my x11 app away? but still available? === M4dH4TT3r is now known as Guest32268 [15:08] hi all could someone tell me how to find out from the cli what version my kernel is please ? [15:08] maasha: make a script that sets the variables and does the command perhaps [15:08] HoNgOuRu, im not sure how anything on your system is working. obv you couldn't have completely removed alsa as that is your kernel sound driver. but what exactly you did remove is unclear [15:08] kernix, uname -a [15:09] will that ctrl-z work if the app is being x11 forwarded [15:09] How can I change the default 'installing missing plugins' firefox dealio to just use gksudo, rather than gksu? Running a debootstrap 11.04 install here [15:09] thanks escott [15:09] xubuntu5, why would it not? [15:09] it doesnt' seem to work when i press ctrl-z app still runs in the x window [15:09] doesn't seem to disappear [15:09] xubuntu5, what do you mean by background? [15:10] escott, I was really tired of fixing sound issues with firefox/chrome and flash, so the moment I uninstalled alsa it started working... [15:10] the hope is that i can start an application on my computer via X forwarding send it to the background and then open it up on the computer itself [15:10] xubuntu5: it wont work that way [15:10] darn [15:10] dr_willis: right [15:10] thanks for your help [15:10] you dont just shift its output to a different display [15:11] can't be done at all? [15:11] via vnc.. yes [15:11] xubuntu5, ok you want to switch what server it appears on. much harder. can be done with screen and an xserver in between === karthik is now known as Guest86066 [15:11] but it will take extra work xubuntu5 === Guest86066 is now known as treadstone90 [15:12] hmmm [15:12] i do use byobu [15:12] escott: do you mean it's possible to "screen" xorg applications? [15:13] escott, I'll reinstall alsa and try to fix future sound problems with other ways...thank you for the time spent. [15:13] zykotick9, if you start it in screen and run it to an xnest (could not think of the program) instance [15:13] xnest hmmm will try that [15:13] xubuntu5, vnc is a lot easier [15:13] aika ruskean näköstä kultaa [15:14] xubuntu5, but if you dont want vnc look into screen+xpra/xnest/xmove [15:14] a hidden minimal vnc session, lete you get to the app from any pc. ;) [15:14] i do have x11vnc set up probably just easier to keep using that lol than screen+xpra/xnest/xmove [15:15] xubuntu5: you can set vnc to share a minimal desktop. not the whole desktop === chipway is now known as chipway_ === root is now known as Guest99805 [15:16] and minimal desktop being just 1 application?

[15:18] not this one [15:18] might want to learn linux first though :) and then learn some programming skills [15:18] RAID Question - Someone had told me you should use software raid with the entire disk, meaning mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda, but EVERY single guide I read says mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda1, where you would add the partition to the raid. Is there an advantage to using the drive? === Blow is now known as Guest89507 [15:18] 'learn to hack' is a vague and silly statement. [15:19] go learn python, or bash ;) [15:19] i like perl myself [15:19] roasted_, you should always have a partition table. very dangerous to not have one [15:19] escott: so you would vote /dev/sda1? [15:19] roasted_, yes [15:19] escott: I haven't seen a single guide not use that method, I began to wonder why that user told me to use the entire drive... [15:19] roasted_, but sda1 can be the entire disk [15:20] escott: oh it is, but even still he said use sda not sda1, etc. [15:20] escott: I began hitting up guides to see if that advice he gave showed up and in no guides did it. [15:20] Guest99805: 'hacking' means knowing a lot about programming, operating systems and their internals, and common programming mistakes. Start by spending a lot of time writing C [15:21] roasted_, think about what happens if you dont have a partition table and take your data disk and put it in another machine... that machine sees the entire disk as unallocated. one drunken night later you "found" this empty disk and reformatted it, but whatever happened to your previous disk [15:21] this jwm is sweet does it have any settings to configure at all such as hotkeys/keybindings?? [15:21] Anyone know how to printer to a home network wireless printer. Sorry to say its a Kodak esp7 [15:21] xubuntu5: yes. .. [15:22] escott: I didn't think it made sense either. I couldn't get too much info out of the guy because he was very beligerent and very "just do it this way and don't ask qu estions". Yeah okay... [15:22] escott: i wasn't able to find anything regarding screen+xnest from my initial search, best i could find was VNC. This slashdot comments section mentions Xorg+screen several times (all stating not possible, or use VNC) http://ask.slashdot.org/story/08/06/29/1417247/persistent-terminals-for-a-dedicated-computing-box It would be very cool, but i was certainly under the impression it wasn't possible. [15:22] where do i / how do i configure that? thanks again for all your help [15:23] How can I change the default 'installing missing plugins' firefox box to just use gksudo, rather than gksu? Running a debootstrap 11.04 install here [15:23] zykotick9: saw a flakey way to do it years ago. . [15:24] dr_willis: it would be very cool... I'm not a fan of VNC, but a true "screen" plus Xforwarding on SSH would be very cool. [15:24] zykotick9, it ends up being much the same config as vnc. you run app -> xnest -> true display, but can switch the true display around behind the xnest (or xpra or xmove) instance without everything crashing. [15:25] zykotick9, its possible that im wrong in that xnest can do this. it may not have all the bits needed to do the switching, but xpra xmove are built to do exactly this [15:26] !info xmove [15:26] Package xmove does not exist in oneiric [15:26] escott: thanks, it's certainly something I'll look into.

[15:33] razor85: Hmm, you could probably do a checkinstall, and then remove it afterwards, that might get rid of it easier [15:33] razor85, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo [15:33] Tried a test page and its says connected to local printer but nothing happens [15:34] check the cups logs? enable verbose logginh [15:34] arand, escoot, martian: it says No rule to make target 'checkinstall' same with uninstall [15:35] razor85: checkinstall is an application, used instead of make install [15:36] uhm.. I connected to my home computer from work through ssh, now I'm home and see that I forgot to terminate the connection - how can I do that from this end? [15:36] razor85, not "make checkinstall", just "checkinstall" [15:36] razor85: It might work to do "sudo checkinstall" and then "sudo apt-get purge foobar" [15:36] Ebron, you can just kill the parent shell that the session started. when ssh sees the child process die it will terminate the connection [15:37] Hi, I'm new here, Do most people use this server or irc.ubuntu.net [15:37] FreeTech: ubuntu.net isn't official for all I know. The official Ubuntu channel is this one. [15:37] thanks [15:37] FreeTech: Aren't they the same? [15:38] arand: I first used "checkinstall lshell" and then "apt-get purge lshell" [15:38] arand: none owrks [15:38] FreeTech: Actually, seems ubuntu.net as a website redirects to ubuntu.com so hm... Not sure, but still, this is the official channel [15:38] Is tehre a problem if i change my user name? My user home folder will change also? [15:38] ubuntu.net belongs to the spotchat network [15:38] i thought ubuntu.net as a freenode server [15:38] the update manage keeps showing that there are updates available but when I click on it it doesnt open [15:38] razor85, did you install checkinstall first? [15:38] CharminTheMoose: So, the application that actually does the work is gnome-codec-install which firefox simply launches, so THAT is what would need to change [15:38] escot: yes [15:38] escott* [15:38] razor85: That's not how to use checkinstall, see my comment above [15:38] hello [15:38] last thing I think I installed before this happened was playonlinux [15:38] Does anyone know how to configure the DHCP configuration priority ? [15:39] escott: you mean something like 'ps waux|grep ssh|grep tty' followed by kill pid? [15:39] I mean, i have two intefaces, both using DHCP, and the second one is overwriting DNS setting (/etc/resolv.conf) of the first one [15:39] where tty is the appropriate tty [15:39] I need this the other way around [15:39] Ebron, i would kill the bash instance not the ssh instance. look at pstree to find the parent === shubbar_ is now known as shubbar [15:39] martian, was that intended for me? [15:39] arand: So what's the purpose of checkinstall, it just installs it for me again. It says "Debian package creation selected." I didn't see you mentioned how to use it. === lampe is now known as lampe2 [15:40] razor85, but now there is an instance in the database so you can ask apt to remove it [15:40] djQuery: What happens if you run "sudo apt-get install -f in a terminal" (just see what it says) [15:40] razor85: once the DEB is created, install the deb "sudo dpkg -i FILENAME.deb" [15:40] hey iam useing ubuntu 12.04 and i cant install java7... i found a ppa but the key dont work can some one help? [15:41] razor85: checkinstall is VERY handy, especially if you want to remove the package cleanly [15:41] Ubuntu is not very compatible with many printers [15:41] lampe2: are you using webupd8team/java ? [15:41] martian, my bad, saw your other reply. Well I mean once I've selected the plugin to install, another box comes up that asks me for my password that looks very similar to gksu. And I know fromm previous experience that gksu-ing as root on ubuntu is a no-go. [15:41] CharminTheMoose: Line 91 of /usr/share/pyshared/GnomeCodecInstall/PackageWorker.py [15:41] cousin_luigi, no is there one from them? i will look for it [15:41] sun_devil: its more like the printer makers dont support cups [15:41] lampe2: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java [15:41] zykotick9: Hmm, does chekcinstall set a different prefix by the way? [15:42] arand: it might? no idea. [15:42] CharminTheMoose: you could just edit that to be gksudo :) [15:42] Kodak most likely has never heard of cups or Linux, so Iam not going to bother to call them, I know what they will say [15:42] thx cousin_luigi [15:42] escott: what would have happened to the shell if I killed the ssh-process instead? [15:42] sun_devil: would you claim "apple doesn't support many printers"? as they own CUPS [15:43] sun_devil: i bet they have heard of it.. its also used by os-x [15:43] apple bought cups ;} [15:43] arand, it gives me a list of no longer required packages and this 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded. [15:43] I dont own a apple and somehow got mixed up with Kodak, which was a mistake [15:43] Ebron, the shell should also die, but your ssh server might be confused by the sudden death of its children. if you dont care about that service ssh restart [15:43] dr_willis: a while ago, been to cups page in the last few years? [15:44] avoid canon printers also [15:44] zykotick9, escott: Please have a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/855473/ . I really don't know what to do. [15:44] lampe2: do you happen to know how to completely remove the other java virtual machines? [15:44] kodak went bankrupt this year? [15:44] hey, can anyone recommend me a SIP/SIMPLE server software? [15:44] dr_willis: only the film processing gruop [15:44] group === blitzkev is now known as blitz [15:44] martian, How strange, on this debootstrap install, I don't seem to have /usr/share/pyshared/GnomeCodecInstall folder. :/ [15:44] razor85: the important part being "You are in a limited shell." [15:45] Dont call Kodak, you get someone from India, no wonder Kodak is going BK [15:45] arand, the update manager does open onto the "taskbar?" and I can right click on it and choose install updates. it just never opens its windows when clickin on it [15:45] zykotick9: I was installing as root, in a unlimited shell the whole time. [15:45] uninstalling* [15:45] razor85: A looks like checkinstall uses a prefix or something :( [15:45] bindi: apache can be fairly simple [15:45] escott: thank you :) [15:45] razor85, you might have confused apt by installing a deb when the files already existed. im not sure what apt will do when asked to remove a deb which installed files that already existed [15:45] Chipzzz: what, apache? i'm pretty sure that's not a SIP server [15:46] CharminTheMoose: weird. do you have a binary called gnome-codec-install? type "which gnome-codec-install" [15:46] razor85: ah sorry, there are two commands in your paste - my bad [15:46] sorry... thought the sip was a typing mistake [15:46] arand, escott, zykotick9: What's the best thing to do now [15:46] <`korvin> I'm trying to install wine, it keeps asking me to insert the kubuntu disc [15:47] martian, Hmm, nope, I don't either. [15:47] razor85, if the checkinstall doesnt remove the binary you have to make uninstall and pray it doesn't remove anything you need [15:47] razor85: Well I'm guessing you're back to where you started, so removing manually, I guess? [15:47] hi everyone [15:47] `korvin: either you insert the disc or remove the local repository [15:47] hi [15:47] `korvin: remove CDs from your available repos (somewhere in U.S.C i'd guess) [15:47] razor85, you can look at the deb file to audit the files it installed and make sure nothing is critical tehre [15:47] I also can't refill my ink because they put a chip on the ink cartridge that tells printer it is empty when you refill it [15:47] sun_devil: I thought there were workarounds for that [15:47] CharminTheMoose: it's a debian distro you say? Not ubuntu? (I don't care heh) [15:48] Can I try Unity2d from the live cd? When I logout, check Unity2d log back in, it always starts Unity3D [15:48] escott: Seems a good idea, will do that. [15:48] Nobody figured it out, even the places that make money refilling cartridges, if they had a workaround, they would use it to make money [15:49] sun_devil, refill services that refill your cartridges replacereset those chips... Costco does for sure [15:49] Hello folks! Have anyone else problems with flash since last update? Youtube-videos still works somehow but almost nothing else will. Rightclicking videos shows that ''AVM2 - not supported'' [15:49] razor85: Which application is it by the way? [15:49] I've internet'd all over the place for this: how do I remove gnome-panel? [15:49] Nope, tried it. They cant reset the chip [15:49] martian, it's a debootstrapped ubuntu 11.04 install. So a basic install of bash, few other libs etc, then I chrooted into it and started adding packages from the official repositories. No Gnome/KDE DE stuff either. [15:49] I'm running GNOME 3 Shell and the panel is showing up behind my transparent application bar. [15:49] my Logitech webcam has vertical lines. Its C270, it should work as its in the compatible list [15:49] CharminTheMoose: oh nevermind I see what it is. Hmm. I don't know. Without being in the environment to poke around not much I can tell. Try to figure out what the binary is called that FF is calling to do the loading, view the source and see what's happening :-/ [15:49] arand: It's lshell, a limited shell. [15:49] s [15:50] shubbar: I know its not helpfull, but it works for me out of the box [15:50] sun_devil, interesting... Costco does it for me all the time... they replace the chip I believe [15:50] CharminTheMoose: so despite the minimal userspace, FF still loads the install plugins thingy? [15:50] shubbar: I had some color issues with older nvidia drivers, had to use noveau or the latest ones from nvidia [15:50] ironhalik, it the picture crisp clear? [15:50] shubbar: right now, yes [15:51] http://goo.gl/67JW8 [15:51] escott: What's the best way to check the files the deb uses? Just install the deb again with -i ? [15:51] For Kodak? I have been to refill businesses and they turn me away [15:51] martian, yes, the plugin-service-finder or so the taskbar says. Which then calls something that looks like gksu, when I'd rather have it run gksudo. :) [15:51] CharminTheMoose: I may have to look in to this debootstrap thing myself. been meaning to learn how to create a nice safe chroot environment for others to be able to develop on my servers [15:51] sun_devil, what printer cartridge do you use? [15:51] ironhalik, does nivida driver affect the webcam operation? [15:52] I've internet'd all over the place for this: how do I remove gnome-panel? [15:52] I'm running GNOME 3 Shell and the panel is showing up behind my transparent application bar. [15:52] sun_devil, oh I dont know about Kodak stuff [15:52] shubbar: for me it did [15:52] sun_devil: be sure to consider your experience, and do more research, before purchasing a printer next time. [15:52] sun_devil, google is our friend :) [15:53] razor85: YOu can use "dpkg --contents lshell.deb" [15:53] CharminTheMoose: what's the difference between gksu and gksudo anyway? [15:53] It has a color and b & w cartridges. 10b and 10c [15:53] arand: Ah okay, will try it now. [15:53] razor85, -c [15:53] razor85: Isn't lshell using the python setup.py instead? [15:53] martian, ah cool. Likewise I've been wanting to investigate ssh chroot jails etc. [15:53] martian: on relies on su the other sudo (on ubuntu, i see no real difference) [15:54] mormmd: have you tried auto-hiding the gnome panel? [15:54] on ubuntu, you can't access root with su, even by setting a password, from what I've tried. [15:54] Hopefully others can learn from my mistake, its a family printer that I did not buy [15:54] su/gksu rather [15:54] arand85: now you got me wondering. I'm not sure if that's just for the makefile [15:54] Chipzzz, I can't access any settings for it in gconf-editor [15:54] /join #iutas [15:54] arand* woops [15:54] !root | CharminTheMoose [15:54] CharminTheMoose: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo === Shadows`sleep is now known as SoulShadow [15:54] Although I should be able to print to it somehow [15:54] CharminTheMoose: gksu works just fine [15:54] arand: Honestly I can't even remember how I installed it, since it was a while ago. [15:55] I works fine on Vista, but Ubuntu is a pain [15:55] ironhalik, which nvidia driver version are you using? I'm using 280.13 [15:55] razor85: In case it does use the setup.py, it looks like the installed files are all listed in that script, in fact... [15:55] escott, I did set a root password, so I know what it is. trouble is, gksu doesn't accept it/ [15:56] Hence my issue. [15:56] shubbar: for me, the open source ones, nouveau work best, when I tried the nvidia ones, the latest were better then the 173 [15:56] CharminTheMoose, i think gksu has a properties gui where you can choose su or sudo [15:56] i think if its set to sudo gksu is linked to gksudo [15:56] arand: I see, do you know the python argument to remove/uninstall? [15:56] CharminTheMoose: anyway, maybe if you bring up the plugin-service-finder then hit ctrl-alt-f1, log in, and inspect what processes are running, you could find the actual binary [15:57] razor85: Unfortunately there are none. [15:57] CharminTheMoose: have you tried running any Xorg applications from your chroot (i'm guessing they currently will all fail to start)? gksu(do) is an X based application. [15:57] I have used the scanner and printer options on Vista, but Ubuntu only offers (4) known drivers [15:57] razor85: But like I said, look in that script, I think the files are enumerated there [15:57] arand: Yeah, they are. Doesn't look to harmless. What should I do now? [15:58] Gentoo64, martian both very good ideas, I'll try them out. [15:58] hi [15:58] Well, manually remove them, I guess? [15:58] I searches for drivers but comes up empty [15:58] zykotick9, yep I have, just did a export DISPLAY=:1 and have a xnest xserver running [15:58] sun_devil: checked askubuntu.com yet? === TRAP is now known as Guest3668 [15:58] no [15:59] arand: Well, I'm not even sure how to do that, since uninstall does not work [15:59] CharminTheMoose: and are you feeding that same export to gksu(do)? [15:59] what channel can i go to for ubuntu help? [15:59] arand: You mean to remove the files? [15:59] colby: this one. Ask your question. [15:59] zykotick9, Yep, am running it from a terminal in the nested X [16:00] i installed ubuntu 11.10 on an old p3 850mhz comp. after installation, i updated it and now when the computer boots, i get the grub> [16:00] how do i fix it? [16:01] !fixgrub [16:01] 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) [16:01] Should it really be that complicated to print from Ubuntu? [16:01] hi. could someone tell me where is located the directory os the themes [16:01] bluetuga2000, /usr/share/themes [16:01] sun_devil: if you have a compatible printer, just plugging it in sometimes works. [16:01] thank you Gentoo64 [16:02] bluetuga2000, or ~/.themes for local ones [16:02] my printers work great in linux [16:02] hello.. i have a question on openldap [16:02] ciao [16:02] plug in.. click a thing.. and go [16:03] dr_willis: my brother laser is the same [16:03] does anybody knows a good tutorial to set up a openldap enviroment? [16:03] yep. networked brother laser [16:03] dr_willis: no, cheap USB. [16:03] Hi~ [16:03] Its a wireless printer, should'nt it printer wireless? [16:04] sun_devil: you're almost certain to run into issues with wireless [16:04] laan: Not off the top of my head, but I bet a simple google search would come up with many [16:04] I punched in the printer IP and the computer sees it [16:04] sun_devil: check the cups Web interface? [16:04] it may have settings to tweak [16:04] I tried cups interface last time, too complicated and after hours, did not work [16:05] sun_devil: you may have broken the IP when you punched it :) [16:05] sun_devil: is it possible to plug it in via USB to test? [16:05] tapped it [16:05] how vague. :) [16:05] Is there any development on the Ubuntu project for Android? He wanted to know someone is inside it ... [16:05] Edson_JR: what ? [16:05] Edson_JR: try #ubuntu-phone perhaps [16:06] I installed this program called lshell, for limiting shell commands for others. I can't get it removed now. I manually removed the files but it's still showing up when I run the command. What do I do? And of course I tried all the uninstallation methods before that. [16:06] many printers have related frivers from other models that may work [16:06] HP is a good example of that [16:07] thanks Zykotick9 [16:07] I will try the USB === Jaddie- is now known as Jaddie [16:10] Edson_JR: using TAB is a lot easier to complete nicks [16:10] razor85, run "which lshell" and figure out where the binary is [16:12] escott: Thank you, you saved me from this trouble :P It's removed now. [16:12] I'm using rsync to download my entire webroot, I'd like to exclude ALL folder named .git will --exclude '.git' accomplish this? [16:13] (There are multiple repositories in the targeted directory [16:14] razor85, there is sure to be other stuff too. like a man page and the like. also you should note that something like lshell would have to be very carefully constructed to make it work, its basically impossible to do correctly. a single interpreter and the whole security setup falls over [16:14] escott: There is entries in /etc/passwd. Sure there are man pages, but those won't really bother me I guess? [16:14] escott: It's no problem to remove those entries though. [16:15] !msg ubottu kasablanca [16:15] Promille: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === reed_ is now known as reed [16:17] Does anyone know why "kasablanca"(kasablanca.berlios.de) was removed from reps? Compiling it gives the error message: "in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail." [16:17] So, check this please and use another prefix [16:17] Promille I didn't know it was ever in the repos [16:17] ikonia: it was http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/natty/universe/base/kasablanca [16:18] whats difference between alternate image cd and main one ? [16:18] in 12.04 [16:19] meegooo: the installer [16:19] i think the alternate one is not a live cd [16:19] you can just install from it [16:19] meegooo: 12.04 support discussion is in the #ubuntu+1 channel [16:19] Promille: best bet would be to mail the kubuntu mail list and ask the developmnent team [16:19] ok, thanks [16:20] . [16:20] I hooked up printer via usb, should I go with jetdirect with IP port 9100 or 2nd option of Kodak with device as printer? [16:21] sun_devil probably the kodac option - jet direct works over the network I believe [16:21] Sorry for the repost I got disconnected: I'm trying to rsync my entire webroot, which contains multiple .git repositories... is there a way to exclude ALL folders named '.git' ... will --exclude '.git' accomplish this? === root is now known as Guest73948 [16:21] sun_devil what make is the printer ? [16:21] :) [16:21] couple weeks ago I disabled overlay scrollbars, but now I wanna turn it back on, the problem is I don't remember how I disabled it, any hints ? [16:22] Kodak will not let me go forward, but I can with the jetdirect. Its a Kodak ESP 7 wireless [16:22] sun_devil what make is the printer ? [16:22] sun_devil there are good exploits for both so its 50/50 [16:22] sun_devil there are good exploits for both so its 50/50 [16:23] lamer13300980470: exploits....really, he just wants the printer working, connected by USB, [16:23] starsinmypockets, it should although a nice trick to use with rsync and git is to set your exclude-from-file to be your .gitignore and then put .git into your .gitignore [16:24] I did the jetdirect and it search for drivers. Came up with error and still wants to search. MIght come up with another error [16:24] if thatds the case either one would do the trick [16:24] sun_devil: have you looked if the printer actually has any linux support ? [16:24] escott so that git and rsync share an ignore file... which includes .git [16:24] Its a Kodak, it doen't [16:25] starsinmypockets, exactly I do it for my box.net account (like a dropbox but the reject hidden . files) === digital-1haos is now known as digital-chaos [16:25] sun_devil: ok - so why are you pushing this ? [16:25] personally i would say kodak over jetdirect (less exploitable and easier to work with) [16:25] 16:25 < lamer13300980470> personally i would say kodak over jetdirect (less [16:25] oops [16:26] lamer13300980470: Lets stay on-topic here. This channel is for SUPPORT. [16:26] Well its wireless, that does not work, gave up. Tried USB and it cant find it [16:26] lamer13300980470: please stop going on about exploits, he's working with a printer [16:26] Hello, I am having an issue with the volume change keyboard shortcuts. They work to change the volume, but there is no feedback "blip" sound played. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? [16:27] how to stop a process? [16:28] all I know is "kill " [16:28] sskalnik_, suspend or kill? [16:28] sskalnik_: killall? pkill? [16:28] Is there a stop-process command that takes process names? [16:28] hi. could someone tell How i can I copy a directory to another in nautilus, with root permission? [16:28] sskalnik_, killall [16:29] bluetuga2000, you would need a root nautilus window (which I would discourage using) [16:29] I go to the Linux database for new printer and search for Kodak, gives (5) older models that are not ESP 7 [16:29] sskalnik_: kill `pidof processname` [16:29] escott It's just to copy a theme to usr/shere/themes [16:29] sun_devil: anything that of a similar period in time / specification ? [16:29] sskalnik_: htop has a very convenient way of doing that [16:29] bluetuga2000, sudo mv -r [directory name here] [destination path here] without brackets [16:29] Cool, thanks all [16:30] thanks Boardinary [16:30] bluetuga2000, thats is cut, copy is cp instead of mv [16:31] Is there any reason to not use the "service stop" syntax and instead type out the whole path? I always use the newer shorter form, but some of the old hands I know type it all out. [16:31] bluetuga2000, so use cp for copy and mv for cut [16:31] Easy Share printer doc, driver cups? ESP 5200 says recommended, another duplex and ditherered? [16:31] ok . thanks Boardinary [16:32] They dont give the specs in years, just the name of the printer [16:33] Last time I tried the Easy Share printer-doc.....which did not work [16:33] sskalnik_: the terminal grumbles at me when i don't use the service stop syntax, so I assume they will deprecate the older style in due course === danny__ is now known as bean [16:35] i installed a phaser 6000 printer on my ubuntu 32bit and it works perfectly but when i try to send a print job from another location all i get is tons of lines that start with @pjl [16:35] I tried the 5200 recommended. Gave me a errors saying cups [16:35] ur talking to me? === outbox is now known as hacked_kernel [16:35] Client error not authorized [16:36] sun_devil: are you talking to me?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:37] !who sun_devil [16:37] I have 3 monitors connected to my radeon hd card [16:37] do I need fglrx to use them in ubuntu? [16:38] I just want to use them as extended desktop and not as one single eyefinity screen [16:38] sun_devil -all the available drivers should already be installed. If your printer isnt there, you can check the manufacturers website to see if they provide a linux driver, but its doubtful that they do [16:38] ikonia I think its a apt-get install thing [16:38] what is a good bouncer? [16:38] sun_devil: what ? === mut3city is now known as mut3city|away [16:39] Hello all, I am trying to setup a Public Access computer. I made a 'public' user with a basic password.

I will be forever thankful if somebody help me! I am using xubuntu 11.04 with Firefox 10.0.2. The problem is all the gif animations that appear when browsing (forums in example) are very very choppy :-( I cant even scroll the page! I never have such type of problem w/ older verses of Xubuntu! Can some1 help? [16:40] escott: I'm acutally using Kubuntu, they told me to come ask in here [16:40] designbybeck, and you should also think seriously about setting up a netboot for this device [16:40] because of the larger user base [16:40] ikonia, sorry, cant get it [16:40] sun_devil: I don't understand what you are saying [16:40] what is a netboot escott? [16:41] ikonia, my ubuntu does not show printers in years doing a search for drivers [16:41] ive got a question about ubuntu install [16:42] designbybeck, so look at /usr/sbin/guest-account (although lightdm already does this for you). and always assume that hardware not in your immediate control is compromised so assume your system is compromised and configure it to request a system image off the network from a server you do control [16:42] sun_devil: don't search in ubuntu - search in things like the cups website [16:43] Hello everybody!

[16:44] sun_devil: read read what I said....actually doesn't matter, your printer won't work then, Bad luck [16:44] ikonia, thanks [16:44] .....kinda escott.... shhhhhh...... [16:45] Hiob10hiob: you mean make a backup of it [16:45] please help! [16:45] LOL..... yeah they are suppose to come by today to talk about it. The director of the Library approved it and was glad to do so because it served the community. [16:45] reesk92: it should cause no problems as long as you don't delete the partition [16:45] not planning to touch it [16:45] yes [16:45] designbybeck, well be careful. something like this could get you in trouble. Hopefully they can give you the appropriate static ip and then you can configure your bios to point to your desktop/server for the ethernet boot https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto === AndIrc__ is now known as l3d [16:46] i know which partition it is and i am fairly sure it is controlled by bios so installing grub shouldnt hurt it [16:46] is there a separate channel discussing ubuntu for android? anyone know?

How to find out? [16:47] be aware though, there is nothing to discuss beyond what's on the website [16:47] shpngld, justask your question [16:47] reesk92: you might want to try creating an image backup of your current HD, clonezilla is a livecd capable of doing it. You'll probably run into the 4 primary partition limit problem with such a system. [16:48] Hello everybody! I will be forever thankful if somebody help me!

[16:49] My video is nvidea mx [16:49] HacDan: ubuntu is open source [16:49] yes, but their work for android integration is not. [16:49] BluesKaj, I have never have problem like this before w/ prev ver of xubuntu, but when upgraded, it failed [16:49] ikonia: that is debatable [16:49] I had to close ff to get some speed. [16:49] zykotick9: what is ? [16:50] HacDan: where does it state it's open/closed [16:50] HacDan: so you're looking for another linux distro to install on your phone? [16:50] BluesKaj, what is the best way to fix the problem u think [16:51] martian: looking to replicate what they've done [16:51] ikonia: I emailed them and they responded that it isn't open source at this time [16:51] HacDan: it's not even released, hence "at this time" [16:51] BluesKaj, when i block the image w/ adblock everything is fine, but I dont wanna block absolutely every .gif i encounter.... [16:51] shpngld, have you checked your additional drivers options , I'm not familiar with Xubuntu so i'm not sure where that is because your graphics card driver probly needs updating [16:52] ikonia: they stated it will released to hardware vendors. I can get you a copy of the email if you'd like [16:52] HacDan: How about oh... http://source.android.com/ [16:52] martian: there's nothing in there for ubuntu on android [16:52] HacDan: no thanks [16:52] BluesKaj, how can i find that Aditional driver option? [16:52] hello guys, how can i set super key for launch slingshot in ubuntu 11.10? [16:53] HacDan: so you want an open source version of something that hasn't been released yet? [16:53] BluesKaj, as much as i know xubuntu is debian based and very close to buntu, but made fot older machines like mine [16:53] martian: sure, sounds about right, and I'm not asking for it, looking for discussion on starting the project [16:54] No luck it seems. OK friends, I shall contact later. Bye! [16:54] shpngld, have you asked in #xubuntu? [16:54] BluesKaj, is it on the same server [16:55] HacDan: well, if a group of people, not canonical, fork ubuntu and alter it to be suitable for use on a phone, it wouldn't be ubuntu any more. It would just be a debian based OS inspired by ubuntu. Regardless, this is getting rather #ubuntu-offtopic [16:55] martian: not what I'm looking to do, I'm fine with a stock ubuntu-arm experience [16:55] Installing eclipse from the ubuntu software center.It appears on the programming menu but not yet finished,shows in progress,4 hours now [16:55] just looking for android integration.

[18:22] how do i give it a root fle system [18:22] reesk92: You'll need a partition formatted for Linux (ext3 or 4) [18:23] I've rebooted it, but nothing makes it work. Oracle VM Virtual Box Manager [18:23] reesk92: You'll need to shrink or nuke some partitions, sounds like. [18:23] is it a known bug that unity doesn't manage ssh agent anymore ?

[18:27] when in doubt make backups.... [18:27] moes: I have no idea then, sorry. [18:27] reesk92: I would get a copy of clonezilla and make an image of the recovery partition and anything else I might nuke. [18:27] Seryth, Thanks for trying !! [18:27] moes, did you try anything other than Firefox? [18:28] reesk92: You should make a backup of anything you can't afford to lose anyway.

[18:38] hi guys [18:38] Ho^Oh, what you should be doing here is installing grub2, but using a gpt_bios partition for the bootloader [18:38] theadmin: grub 2 is grub-pc and grub 1 is grub [18:38] when will Unity get fixed!? [18:38] Ho^Oh, or grub_bios whatever it is called [18:38] Pici: Ah, thanks.

I need it to click the "connect" button on the wifi dialog (ideally, it would be set to connect automatically, but this appears to be infeasible) [18:41] How would one go about doing that, sskalnik_? [18:41] MrStupid: Visit #Windows [18:42] Ho^Oh, yes, and assuming you are bios booting a gpt disk you need a small grub_bios partition to hold the grub2 files that would otherwise go in the sectors<63 [18:42] We don't do windows batch scripts here.

Mint is not polished enough. :P [18:47] (I'm currently installing Ubuntu on it!) [18:47] I'm looping over the results of 'find' in a bash script. I want to also redirect the stderr of find (for logging). Anyone know how to do that? [18:47] polished??? [18:47] guys quick question - please ? [18:47] Benxyzzy, why are you looping over find results use -exec or xargs depending on need [18:48] For example, when I move my mouse cursor all the way to the right, it's not actually in the maximized window -- there is a strip of desktop space. [18:48] is there a script out there what will clean up your wireless settings and just connect to a specific network [18:48] escott: I'm doing string manipulation on the results and calling out to ftp in each loop. This is a script, not just the command line [18:49] Benxyzzy, i bet you could do this without the loop, but in any case use tee to split your output and then you can send part to stderr [18:50] escott: tee sounds about right; unless I can call script functions via exec or xargs I don't see how I could avoid the loop [18:52] doesn't Ubuntu font supports Unicode? [18:54] escott: I do have a 64MB gap before SDA1, but I'm not exactly sure on where to start, I usually work on the old stuff, but this grub2 set up thing is rather alienating. === _alex_ is now known as Guest9101 [18:54] can i run dragon on ubuntu [18:55] Ho^Oh, you only need 440bytes so add a small partition there select the type as grub_bios, then install grub-common package and see if grub-install does the correct thing. it should [18:55] Mrhill|2, dragon-player ? [18:56] escott: grub-common is already installed. [18:56] I'll just remove that in then install that again.

[19:00] <_alex86_> *emacs [19:00] X is your display server [19:00] <_alex86_> ok [19:00] <_alex86_> doesn`t say much to me though. [19:00] Jacobus123, iso = downloaded ubuntu [19:01] _alex86_: X = graphical environment core [19:01] _alex86_: with X support: gui, without X support: cli [19:01] <_alex86_> theadmin, alright [19:01] cli = command line interface ; gui = graphical user interface [19:01] Okay, but do I still need the iso after installation for the update to the final version? Or does a update / upgrade suffice? [19:02] <_alex86_> geirha, cli - command line interface? [19:02] <_alex86_> ok [19:02] Jacobus123, no, you don't need it to upgrade, just in case you run in problems. [19:02] Jacobus123: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade will do it, you don't need the ISO [19:02] geirha: what's up? [19:02] geirha: know anything about davfs2? [19:02] Okay, thanks...

[19:05] helP! dis anyone ever use davfs2 or know anything about it to help me? [19:05] nathanel__, yes [19:05] nathanel__: Hm. Pastebin the relevant lines from /etc/fstab [19:06] doesn't ubuntu font support Unicode? the celcius degree char (𡀳) looks like a square filled with zeros [19:06] RenatoSilva, well that means it is supporting unicode but that the symbol is not provided by the selected font [19:06] hello. whats the name of ubuntu's version of xfdesktop? === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu [19:07] im sure the answer is easy [19:07] !xubuntu | qazokm [19:07] qazokm: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[19:07] i mean to say, what runs the ubuntu desktop zykotick9 [19:07] escott: great! so here's the deal. i have two separate box.com accts. i made two separate entries in fstab for those accounts. i also included the credentials as specified in the sample /etc/davfs2/secrets and set the config in that same directory. the folders mount both both show only my second account. [19:07] escott: where 'selected' font' equals to 'it'? [19:07] i just dont know the name so i translated it in my own way :( === iqpi|off is now known as iqpi|on [19:08] qazokm: sorry, i don't understand your question [19:08] picasso: are you sure that you're using the right symbol? ° looks fine to me.

[19:09] Pikkachu, what do you mean by "it" [19:09] Pici: that's the actual char, I typed +u2103 and sent it [19:09] Pici: no problem [19:09] escott: your 'it' [19:09] I'm using this url https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes [19:09] I see about java..

[19:09] escott: nevermind sorry [19:10] escott: you mean I need to select some sort of "Ubuntu Unicode" in the font list? [19:10] hi all, im installing ubuntu oneiric, and i want to use zfs for the root filesystems as well. Im currently following this document: https://github.com/dajhorn/pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-Ubuntu-to-a-Native-ZFS-Root-Filesystem . It says that i must create my boot partition wiith type BE (a solaris type). Can anybody tell me why this is needed for ubuntu? [19:10] Pikkachu, I mean try a different font. the font you are using in the application doesn't have that symbol [19:10] nathanel__: the source for both mounts are identical ... [19:11] geirha: no [19:11] escott: So far, I set the grub bios flag. THEN I deleted /boot/grub removed grub-common and grub* Then instaleld grub-common which seems to have installed without an error. Is there anything else I should be aware of? [19:11] Pikkachu: Thats the specific unicode for degrees celcius. I would't expect all fonts to have that glyph. [19:11] pay attn. one is "gmail the other is "hotmail [19:11] please, anyone can help me with that? [19:11] nathanel__, so mine looks like https://www.box.net/dav /media/box.net davfs noauto,user in fstab [19:11] geirha: pay attn. one is "gmail the other is "hotmail [19:11] Pici: it's simply not properly rendered when using "Ubuntu". If I switch to "Segoe UI" it's rendered just fine [19:11] Pikkachu: i.e. the glyph contains "°C", not just "°" [19:11] Pici: yes, so what? [19:12] nathanel__, my secrets looks like: /media/box.net email@address password [19:12] escott: the issue is not with mounting it. its with the separate acct recognition [19:12] plm: I don't understand the question [19:12] nathanel__, so if you have two box accounts you would need two mountpoints in fstab and two entries in secrets [19:12] martian: I wnat ot install java sun in 10.4.4 [19:12] escott: which is what i have [19:12] no go [19:12] martian: I read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes section Sun Java moved to the Partner repository [19:12] LTS user here . Wondering if GNOME classic (2.0) will still be an option in 12.04 ? (not here to argue/comment on Unity) [19:12] martian: but that not works [19:13] Pikkachu: File a bug against ttf-ubuntu-font-family then [19:13] Ho^Oh, i'm a little worried by the "deleted /boot/grub" it should be repopulated now so verify that it has all the grub modules and the grub.cfg [19:13] any idea?: [19:13] plm and what happens when you run apt-get update? does it show any errors? [19:14] ciao [19:14] I sieged my server, and now I've been blocked. I can remote in, but I'm not sure what is doing the blocking. I flushed my iptables and I'm not sure what to try next [19:14] Chaser_: Yes, through the gnome-session-fallback package.

[19:14] kenyabob: check your /etc/hosts.deny [19:14] log, nice thanks ! [19:14] nathanel__, if you umount them both, and mount them independently does it work. ie umount A,B mount A, is A correct? umount A mount B is B correct?

[19:15] but it seems to be missing [19:15] as i try the include in the tutorial and it cannot find the lib [19:15] martian: and my ip would be added into that file? it looks like its still default to me [19:15] Ho^Oh, it sounds ok. you can try a grub-install again [19:16] Ho^Oh, I don't know what grubenv does but you might as #grub [19:16] how do i connect to a osx computer that has file sharing enabled? [19:16] kenyabob: yeah, that would be the case. I guess that's not it. then :-/ [19:16] escott: thanks [19:16] it worked! i had generic credentials instead of folder specific ones [19:17] escott: it worked! i had generic credentials instead of folder specific ones [19:17] how do i scp a file from one computer on my lan to my ubuntu computer?

[19:17] chipotle: the physical [19:18] plm: if you run "grep archive /etc/apt/sources.list | grep partner" does it show anything? [19:18] ActionParsnip: do i do that scp -R command on the host computer receiving the files or sending the files? [19:18] chipotle: physical media connection is fairly moot unless you are streaming very high bitrate video [19:19] ActionParsnip: well, i am trying to transfer over about 100GB of data from my mac to my ubuntu file server... [19:19] martian: show this: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner [19:19] ActionParsnip: what is the best way? [19:19] they are internal hard drives [19:19] chipotle: nautilus can connect to sshfs [19:19] ActionParsnip: okay, what do i do to see it in nautilis? [19:19] different computer? [19:19] Hiob10hiob: yes [19:19] plm: okay good. try this: "apt-cache search java | grep sun" Does that show anything? (don't need to paste it here) [19:20] hello. help me please. cant i send command from tty to lanch openbox again(after crash) ? [19:20] martian: yes [19:20] Chipotle: nautilus will give a convenient interface [19:20] plm: does it show the packages you were hoping to install? [19:20] ActionParsnip: so just enable ssh on my mac for sshfs to work? [19:20] Question - I thought the ATI open source driver at least handled 1080 playback? I just fired it up and it's absolutely terrible. [19:21] martian: not. with partner commented show the same packages on apt-cache [19:21] log, 12.04 will NOT have gnome2 [19:21] when are partner uncommente [19:21] chipotle: assuming it is enabled by default, yes [19:21] escott: http://blog.jdpfu.com/2012/02/20/canonical-listened-gnome2-in-ubuntu-12-04 [19:21] martian: sun-java-jre not show [19:21] Roasted: how big is the screen? [19:21] 37-40 inch orso [19:22] martian: I did upgrade and install new version of 10.4, the 10.4.4 may be this is the problem? [19:22] plm: with partner commented? [19:22] Regarding Ruby and Rails, what's the recommended version manager approach nowadays? I need to install ruby 1.9.3, and I have 1.8.7, I do have RVM installed, but the rvm install 1.9.3 doesn't work, several errors. Thoughts? [19:22] Roasted: what driver version?

[19:22] log, thats really really misleading as gnome-session-fallback (that comes with gnome3) is NOT at all like gnome2 [19:23] Log: gnome2 is no longer developed by the gnome team. Its not going to be in any future distros [19:23] ok [19:23] plm: why are they commented? they shouldn't be. if they're commented, of course it won't work [19:23] curfont, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:__Need_to_fully_remove_-fglrx_and_reinstall_-ati_from_scratch [19:23] thats what I did [19:23] gosh I cannot believe how terrible this thing is. I'll likely return it at this point. [19:23] Log: there are unofficial forks which aren't supported here though [19:23] martian: not. I say. If I comment they, the apt-cache show the same packages when ucomment [19:24] log, fallback looks vaguely like gnome2 but under the hood it is completely different [19:24] martian: the partner are ther uncomment, but dont have the sun-java-jre [19:24] hello. has anyone run into this? i am able to get an IP through DHCP, but i can not get outside of my box. the dhcp server even gives me a specific IP address based on mac, so i know it can reach outside my box. [19:24] Roasted: i bet you could use 720P and notice near zero difference [19:24] plm: is you need sun-java, get it from oracle directly [19:25] ActionParsnip: got it! sweet, thanks! [19:25] ActionParsnip, with how terrible its operating I doubt even 480 would run. [19:25] ActionParsnip, it freezes when I move the darn mouse. [19:25] Roasted: you are using tehe open source driver? de default driver ? [19:25] I'm running GNOME 3 Shell and I have a panel that mysteriously showed up behind my application bar the other day after some system problems. [19:25] curiousx, not sure. from fresh install it was awful playback, then I found that link and installed accordingly. No difference. [19:25] curiousx, same on 10.04 as it is 11.10 [19:25] wormmd, is it the nautilus menu-bar [19:25] I don't have any entries in gconf-editor's /desktop/gnome/sessions [19:26] escott: so now they are both distinguished and functional, one little issue: when i click on the drive icon in nautilus it gives me this "/sbin/mount.davfs: / is the home directory of user nobody. [19:26] You can't mount into another users home directory" [19:26] plm: hmm... are you sure you're searching for sun-java6-jre and not sun-java-jre?

[19:26] martian: yes, apt-cache show sun not show that [19:27] escott, Maybe, it only showed up yesterday. [19:27] nathanel__, naut is just calling out to udisks so maybe udisks is confused... you could see if running udisks from the command line gives the same error [19:27] escott, I rebooted because my system was getting horribly bogged down, and all of my hotkey settings goe wipes. [19:27] Roasted: the driver ati that can be usit with gnome shell and without many bugs is the 12.1 version [19:27] *got wiped [19:28] curiousx, how do I install 12.1 [19:28] neothecat: do you get web access? [19:28] escott, Like something blasted away my configuration files. [19:28] help me please. cant i send command from tty to lanch openbox again(after crash) ? [19:28] wormmd, well the naut menubar is distinct from that. its on my laptop and a fresh install desktop [19:29] Roasted: do you have ubuntu 32 or 64 bit version ? [19:29] go8765: isn't it just: startopenbox [19:29] plm: well, I can't think of what else would be the problem. [19:29] escott, any idea on how to get rid of it? [19:29] hello [19:29] escott: not sure how to do so [19:29] curiousx, 64 [19:29] I just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my dell hybrid and booting from USB stick keyboard and mouse are detected, booting from HD they are not - any thoughts what to do? [19:29] escott: --enumerate only lists my actaul hdds [19:29] still using Ubuntu 11.10 and for some reason the login sound isn't played anymore [19:29] any ideas on that? [19:29] nathanel__, udisks --mount /media/whatever [19:30] Roasted: sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases [19:30] ActionParsnip, i was able to get to DHCP while booting off the live desktop disk. but i just rebooted into the installed, and i do not even get DHCP, and "/sys/class/net/eth0/carrier" is 0. i think it might be hardware. [19:30] Lunar_Lander: is it enabled in startup items? Are you that bothered for something so redundant? [19:30] curiousx, can you show me where you found this information? [19:30] yep [19:31] ActionParsnip: it is there and I was just wondering [19:31] but is in spanish i am latino =P [19:31] Yelp? My touchpad isn't working :< [19:31] curiousx, thats fine [19:31] it is* [19:31] ActionParsnip: hhm.. what you mean? when i type - startopenbox -- i have message that command is not found( [19:31] thanks ActionParsnip [19:31] neothecat: try: sudo dhclient eth0 [19:31] excott: it errors out sayng it's not a block device [19:32] curiousx, it looks like this is the closed source driver [19:32] curiousx, is that true? [19:32] ActionParsnip, rebooting again... i will try that soon. thank you. [19:32] RobinJ: what make and model system? Do you have a switch to enable or disable it? [19:33] nathanel__, my guess its it some weird interaction with how mount is being called because this is a FUSE filesystem. its probably dropping privileges and then calling the mount command, but since the privs are dropped there is no home directory and no secrets file [19:33] >.< [19:33] this is the post: http://paste.ubuntu.com/855730/ i installed it with another user days ago === rymate1234|mc is now known as rymate1234 [19:33] As far as I can see, no switch. Dell Latitude D620 [19:33] wormmd, i've been ignoring it, but i'll bet it has something to do with the globalmenu plugin. you might see if disabling global menu makes it disappear, and if so file a bug for nautilus on launchpad [19:33] I am writing a C++ application for use on Ubuntu client computers, and I would like an easy way to get the hostname of the computer as a String in my script. Does anyone know of an effective and easy way to do that? [19:33] escott: so i should explicit in the conf? [19:33] yep is the privative downloaded from the ati's home page [19:34] I want to compile a program and "./configure" complains that "libnautilus-extension" ist missing - but it is installed as "libnautilus-extension1" - how do I solve this? [19:34] this is the driver: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run [19:34] escott, I'll let you know if that works for me, thanks. [19:34] nicofs: libnautilus-extension-dev is what you need [19:35] hi! I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). how do I check if i'm using a KDE or Gnome desktop ? [19:36] dtf, go to youtube and search for gnome and kde desktops and you can notice that [19:36] if i connect a cat6 cable between my mac and ubuntu computer, the transfer via sshfs will go much faster than wifi, right? [19:36] chipotle, yes of course [19:36] llutz, damn... i feared it would be something like that... all those additional files... oO [19:36] oh dear lord... [19:36] after putting music on my ipod touch with banshee, the ipod says there is no music. Then i reconnect, and the mjsic is right there, but still the ipod says no music, please help [19:37] curiousx: will try that [19:37] nicofs: you need all those -dev packages to compile stuff [19:37] chipotle, wifi is slower cuz it shares the bandwidth to all the machines connected to it (it's not a switch) [19:37] ok [19:37] nathanel__, im speculating that naut is dropping privs, because obviously mount is working [19:37] ok [19:38] dft If you use Ubuntu is almost certain to use the unity, if you were using would be the kde kubuntu and not ubuntu [19:38] Trevor69420: but now it lost the connection and can't find it (my ubuntu machine doesn't have wifi, just ethernet.... [19:38] llutz, yes i know - purt parts of me just don't want that to be true... [19:38] nathanel__, although i dont get that error [19:39] AllanLinux: lucid (10.04) didn't have unity [19:39] nathanel__, what is it just a popup from nautilus [19:39] ya [19:39] lost what connection chipotle [19:39] Oh really confuse me with 11 ... then it is the gnome 2, thx ;) [19:39] nathanel__, odd. and you are using davfs2 correct [19:39] escott: correct [19:40] K1rk|Work, read /etc/hostname? [19:40] the error is from sbin/mount.davfs [19:40] dtf: alternatively you may want to see these desktops =) http://paste.ubuntu.com/855739/ [19:40] escott :the error is from sbin/mount.davfs === iqpi|on is now known as iqpi|off [19:41] Speaking in gnome, kde and unity ... The Unity 5.4 is getting pretty good, despite being a fan of kde 4.8 ;) [19:42] escott: That's...so obvious. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks! [19:42] escott: does rw,noato,user cause a problem? [19:42] noauto* [19:43] nathanel__, thats fine its what i have [19:43] nathanel__, udisks caches some stuff and you could ask it to drop the cache. that might help [19:45] Pici: I'm trying http://font.ubuntu.com in windows...will check if it works in Ubuntu [19:45] escott: blame my ignorance, but how would i do so: never played with udisks [19:47] nathanel__, truth is i dont know. this is a bit beyond me. im completely speculating as to causes, but i wouldn't know how to verify [19:48] escott: ok. thanks for the help with the debug [19:48] i really appreciate it :) [19:48] i'll lookaround and see what gives [19:50] cya all === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:53] !ipod | dad_ [19:53] dad_: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [19:54] how do i set up a wired network between two computers connected via cat6? the network keeps disconnecting [19:54] I am having a problem with Ubuntu - more than half of the times when I turn on my computer, my main "splash screen" where I login etc., is not centred properly on the my screen in the horizontal direction - it wraps around, starting and ending at the centre of my screen, and I can only access the right portion of it with my mouse. So for instance, if I click on the shut down button, the shut down dialog box that pops up wraps around my [19:54] i'm trying to use sshfs to access another computer but transfer everything via cat6 for speed purposes [19:54] Why is this happening? [19:54] It's a real downer :/ [19:54] I always have to restart multiple times hoping it will load properly on one restart [19:55] chipotle, set both to static. set one to 192.168.1.1 the other to 192.168.1.2 and set a route for that subnet [19:55] What's the simplest way to edit gconf values inside a dbus-less chroot? [19:55] why is firefox associating my jpegs with "wine internet explorer"? [19:55] escott: where do i set the wired connection to static? [19:55] How do I stop ubuntu from booting into a GUI in 11.10? When it's done booting I want it to drop me at a command line rather than starting a GUI [19:55] hello. [19:56] does anyone here have the ability to modify the masked hostnames on IRC nicks? [19:56] hi [19:56] escott: ipv4 settings? under method? should i select "Link-Local Only"? [19:56] WiCkD1: try asking again in #freenode [19:56] chipotle, in the network manager. network settings -> configure -> ipv4 manual (from automatic dhcp) [19:56] mrmonday-: do you want it to goto a virtual console or to an actual shell? [19:57] escott: yes, link-local worked!! [19:57] thanks you :) [19:57] WiCkD1: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [19:57] graft: doesn't matter as long as I'm not launching a GUI (I'll only be accessing via ssh anyway) [19:57] mrmonday-, set text in /etc/default/grub and rerun update-grub [19:58] cool_beans, how is your monitor connected to the computer (what kind of cable) [19:58] mrmonday-: well you could just remove gdm [19:59] mrmonday-: yeah what escott said is probably best [19:59] anyone know why firefox is trying to open a jpeg with "wine internet explorer"? [20:00] it is just infuriating [20:00] chipotle, you could tell ssh to not use encryption if you think thats a real issue. it require a bit of fiddling with the sshd.conf [20:00] escott: isn't that what telnet is for? [20:02] Hi, my updates seem to have hung at "Preparing to configure plasma-dataengines-workspace" and I was wondering if I stopped the update and reattempt them after a reboot if it would harm my install. [20:02] graft, escott: literally "set text"? I put that in there, ran update-grub and I still get a GUI [20:02] graft, similar but the password exchange is encrypted, only the data blocks are unencrypted [20:02] hi [20:02] escott: ah [20:02] mrmonday-, no in the kernel flags where is says splash change it to nosplash text [20:02] I'm working though some security guidlines and apparently I need to install apache 2.2.21 or greater, yet the version that comes via apt-get in 10.4 is 2.2.12. Is there a way I can grab the latest version from a repo, or would I have to install manuallly? [20:02] atiyuoip[\ [20:03] mrmonday-: cp the line you have that in. its just 'text' and not 'set text' [20:03] ciao [20:03] bastidrazor, its my fault i wasnt at all clear on where the text should go. === andrea is now known as Guest73531 [20:04] ihiowghjwhrjkjnjrgthnras [20:04] jnsr [20:04] j [20:04] sjt [20:04] ty [20:04] Guest73531: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:19] Ho^Oh, so you dont get any kind of grub stages [20:19] my laptop was running at 90-95 degrees Celsius. I installed battery-status applet and set it to "normal" instead of "performance" and it drops down to 75 degrees Celsius, which is great. However, every time i reboot it defaults to "performance"...anyone know a way to set it to "normal" by default? [20:19] u topu u topu [20:20] astro5, you can add to rc.local a command to echo "something" /sys/something/something/cpu-freq/governor [20:20] escott: Oh crap, I just remembered. I see a grub memu. (Ubuntu server) and then Ubuntu server for rescue or something similar. I know in all systems I used, theres always a safemode, or some sort of rescue mode. [20:20] utopu is a new system [20:20] I picked Ubuntu server, but that doesn't boot up afterwards.

[20:25] is no is not bad [20:26] It's better than American's French/Spanish/etc. so [20:26] You're doing better than most. [20:26] azertyui: we thought we answered your question .. [20:26] ok let me explain well [20:26] i got ubuntu pc with a domain name [20:26] ubuntu server [20:27] i got a dynamic ip [20:27] azertyui: i'm sure you were told yesterday.. ddclient from dyndns.com will keep your ip and host synced [20:27] and my question is how to put in place a dyndns server such as dyndns.com or noip [20:28] i don't want to use a third party solution === danmackay_ is now known as danmackay [20:28] azertyui: its straight from dyndns.. that isn't 3rd party [20:28] i want to own my brand [20:28] lol [20:29] astro5, nothing ever seems to be in the same place anymore but see if any of this matches http://www.pantz.org/software/cpufreq/usingcpufreqonlinux.html [20:29] escott: ok, thanks [20:29] greetings. how do I portforward port 80 to a private port? [20:29] azertyui: Once you've setup your dyndns account, you need to point your domain name to your dyndns account eg azertyui.dyndns.org (Depends what you create) [20:30] of course i understand how it works dyndns.org [20:30] astro5: install cpufrequtils and use cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set to make the changes [20:30] azertyui: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS [20:30] I think he's asking how to get his own domain name without using noip or simular hosts [20:30] !portforward | oliphant [20:30] oliphant: For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall [20:30] why we can't own something like that on our server such as apache or mysql server ?

[20:32] Ho^Oh, i wonder if it could be !nomodeset [20:33] it's been less buggy once its configured to your hardware [20:33] i allready got my domain name the problem is simply my server ip change [20:33] azertyui: there is a #ubuntu-server channel that knows just about everything about servers. [20:33] Ho^Oh, none of these kernels will boot at all? [20:33] At least, just the main one that I am mostly concerned of. [20:33] and my question is simply how to point dynamic server ip address to my domain name [20:33] I am dreading a much needed distupgrade [20:33] Running squeeze/sid :s [20:34] azertyui: Check out nsupdate [20:34] escott: I've NEVER had this problem until I started "debootstrap install" with oneric and for the fact I'm using a 2TB harddrive. [20:34] I think natty has this problem too. [20:34] Ho^Oh, is there some reason why you wanted to bootstrap [20:34] escott: It's the only way I can do this, I'm working on a remote server. [20:35] Ho^Oh, ok [20:35] No gui easymode for me -.- [20:35] Ho^Oh, so how do you know that there is a boot menu then? [20:38] <`korvin> how can I see my graphics card info?

Installing a kernel right? I think it's a good idea if I just whipe that out. [20:40] can anyone help? -- the additional drivers setting seems ineffective [20:41] I'll backup, and then wipe it. [20:41] Ho^Oh, the combination of the kernel install, grub-install update-grub and update-initramfs [20:42] escott: still around? [20:42] nathanel__, yes [20:43] does anyone here know how to program with timers [20:43] all I get is "Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: / var/log/jockey.log" [20:44] escott: ok. well it seems the mounts are all functionnal expect 2 things: the mounts that show the error are misinterpreted somehow and show under the "computer" list in nautilus. then.. the other issue is that the mount folders don't seem to stick. i rebooted and they get "deleted" [20:44] except* [20:45] hi [20:46] nathanel__, i think i know what might be happening [20:46] escott: ok [20:46] nathanel__, umount everything, and then create the folders as root [20:46] nathanel__, make sure you can mount the folders with mount. and then try nautilus. [20:48] are there any news for ubuntu android? [20:48] escott: everything went smooth and everything is in place: mounts are showing with the others on top now.. no residual stuff at the bottom and no empty icons [20:48] Shipper ask at #ubuntu-phone [20:48] but the "Box" icons dont show the eject [20:48] on their right [20:49] nathanel__, udisks is clearly confused. im not sure how to unconfuse it though [20:49] well udisks is usually for block ddevices no [20:49] escott: well udisks is usually for block ddevices no [20:49] hi all [20:50] megasoft78 greetings [20:50] hi all! [20:50] Shipper: News as of when? [20:50] hydrox24 greetings [20:50] nathanel__, well udisks does more than mount. like udisks would be needed to make the mountpoint suid mount won't do that for you [20:50] escott: and even though fstab states rw, i have to chmod to get permissions.. wtf [20:50] nathanel__, how did you mount it [20:50] how can I have static libpng, libjpeg on Ubuntu 11.10?

[20:53] I want to make use of my Asus Xonar soundcard [20:53] under Ubuntu [20:54] escott: same error through terminal for all 3 mounts: [nathanel@Mercury media]$ mount /media/nathanel.titane@gmail.com/Box [20:54] /sbin/mount.davfs: / is the home directory of user nobody. [20:54] although it's quite a clear guide I cannot find the Device options that he describes nor do I know how to complile === ReTFEF is now known as TheTFEF [20:54] dedicated1, so thats 9.04 are the drivers not in 11.10? [20:54] well the sound works [20:55] but I miss some crucial options [20:55] esa kalli [20:56] nathanel__, i wonder if that @ symbol could be a problem [20:56] escott: you think? [20:56] let me try [20:56] ill remove it and get back to you [20:57] nathanel__, so how many touchpads did you buy :) [20:57] escott, you think that these option might be already available in 11.10 without me knowing it? [20:57] touchpads? [20:58] dedicated1, lsmod | grep snd will tell you what drivers you are currently using [20:58] escott: touchpads? [20:58] nathanel__, the hp touchpad came with a free 50gb on box.net. i thought maybe you bought a bunch of them [20:58] no [20:58] nathanel__, so why the proliferation of accounts [20:58] i use my android. wipe data and register the new acct [20:58] Hey guys, I can't seem to get Ubuntu to print to my network printer. [20:59] i have 3 so far [20:59] I found the printer. Added it. And have tested a page, but it always gets stuck. [20:59] I'm afraid it might be a bad print driver or something. [20:59] The printer is a HP PSC 1210, and Ubuntu says it only has drivers for 1200 [20:59] I downloaded the 1200 one, hoping it'd work for all the 1200 series (1210 included), but I think it might now. [20:59] *not [21:00] Hey, how is ubuntu for android phones? [21:00] escott, I see ac97_codec, I don't think that's my Asus driver [21:00] micgrob ask @ #ubuntu-phones [21:00] Does that matter? Seems to submit about "64kb / *** MB" to the print spool each time then freeze. [21:00] is there a way to get apt to tell me WHY it is holding back certain packages when i run upgrade? [21:00] hola alguien puede ayudarme [21:00] !es [21:00] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [21:00] !es | jhonatan [21:00] jhonatan: please see above [21:01] adfasdfj: try using the "hp-setup" command, it should already be installed for you [21:01] adfasdfj did you download the hplip drivers? [21:01] sorry never respond. [21:01] tbws: just why "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" instead of upgrade [21:01] hello [21:01] jsebean: yo! [21:02] How do I setup Ubuntu to record both the audio of skype and my microphone? [21:02] escott: no the @ symbol wasnt it [21:02] my hunch would be with groups [21:02] On windows I used Stereo Mix and unmuted my microphone [21:02] jsebean see Skype Call Recorder [21:02] dedicated1, then you are using onboard sound most likely. you can check and see if the needed module is in the /lib/modules if not you would have to build your own [21:03] escott: The rescuemode for the server kernel at least boots, but the main regular boot isn't working. [21:03] CFHowlett: I want to do it with a screen recorder [21:03] nathanel__, well if you are in plugdev [21:03] !nomodeset | Ho^Oh try this [21:03] Ho^Oh try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:03] CFHowlett: Basically I want to record everything from the PC, including the mic. So all audio [21:03] ohh god, I only want to use my soundcard and even that is confusing xD welcome to linux hahaha [21:03] hydrox24: What hp-setup command? Like, just type hp-setup in the terminal? [21:03] jsebean I know there's a way, but I've never done that set up. sorry. [21:03] Is it safe to remove old kernels using apt-get remove or purge? [21:03] anybody know? [21:03] adfasdfj: yeh === MrInappropriate is now known as mrinappropriate [21:04] dedicated1, you were the one who bought the exotic hardware [21:04] escott: what if i am? [21:04] CFHowlett: I don't believe so. I downloaded the HP PSC 1200 driver when I was detecting/adding my Windows network printer. [21:04] adfasdfj: after that it should be easy to follow the "wizard" that pops up [21:04] dedicated1: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [21:04] adfasdfj see this http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html? [21:04] nathanel__, i dont see what the groups have to do with anything [21:04] dedicated1: my sound card works out of the box, welcome to Linux [21:04] How do I setup Ubuntu to record both the audio of programs on my comptuer and my microphone? On windows I used Stereo Mix and unmuted my microphone to do this, how do I do this on Ubuntu? [21:04] <`korvin> how can I see my graphics card info? === mrinappropriate is now known as StormtraXx [21:05] escott: assigning 'nobody' to a shell and fs access while it wouldn't require it? [21:05] `korvin: "lspci | grep -i vga" to see the model info === StormtraXx is now known as MrInappropriate [21:05] `korvin: sudo lshw -C display [21:05] ActionParsnip, I need to use that whole command in the terminal I suppose? [21:05] nathanel__, so you get this weird message when you try mount /media/natha@gmail.com/Box right [21:05] dedicated1: yes, then select to upload to the server and a red URL will be made, what is the URL please [21:06] escott: yes.. all three accts [21:06] ouch, linux-libc-dev not multiarch multi-installable [21:06] How do I setup Ubuntu to record both the audio of programs on my comptuer and my microphone? On windows I used Stereo Mix and unmuted my microphone to do this, how do I do this on Ubuntu? [21:06] jsebean see http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/record-audio-from-sound-card-or.html [21:06] jsebean: I am probably unable to help beyond this: You will most likely end up recording both to a file seperately and then syncing them in audacity ot the likes of it later [21:07] jsebean: please don't repeat your Q too much :) [21:07] hydrox24: there must be a better way then doing all the syncing [21:07] jsebean pretty sure that skype requires you prioritize either system sound or skype - but not both. [21:07] CFHowlett: I'll check out the link [21:08] nathanel__, so back to stupid questions. where is your secrets file? is it listed in your davfs2.conf file and where is the davfs2.conf file === MrInappropriate is now known as C-McRae [21:08] jsebean only workaround I can see is to set up separate recording streams: 1 for skype, 1 for mic... [21:08] ActionParsnip, here's the link: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=60fec201a7d23ab62509165a12ca3e53be05baac [21:08] escott: i kept the system wide config. it's all in etc [21:08] nathanel__, OHHH!! [21:08] dedicated1: so you are runubuntu in a vmware setup? [21:08] nathanel__, so where is the secrets [21:08] in etc too [21:09] Action, yes I do [21:09] /etc/davfs2/ [21:09] hydrox24: I don't understand the setup wizard. That is.. I can't detect the printer on my Windows network with it. :( [21:09] CFHowlett: how do I do that? === companion is now known as Companion [21:09] What is the best way to play COD or Skyrim in ubuntu 11.10? Do I have to use wine? [21:09] nathanel__, /etc/davfs2/secrets is 700 for obvious reasons [21:10] so.. should i simply copy therm to home? [21:10] Effigy-: wine, or crossoveroffice / cedega (crossover and cedega are not free in any way) [21:10] nathanel__, create a ~/.davfs2, and put a davfs2.conf file in there and put your secrets file in there. no need to have a secrets file in /etc [21:10] k [21:10] Effigy-: check the appdb for each [21:10] great, thanks [21:10] Effigy-: http://news.softpedia.com/news/CrossOver-Games-10-3-0-Fixes-Skyrim-on-Linux-252266.shtml [21:10] hello! I have ubuntu 11.10, uninstall unity and install gnome-classic, but now don't have system/preferences menu and can't add icon to panel bar === ar0nic is now known as marowanna [21:10] Effigy-: mildly interesting [21:11] CFHowlett, hydrox24: Basically the goal is we want to play minecraft, have other players on a server talking on skype, and record the audio from my computer, the skype chatters and the game sounds (minecraft sounds) itself all at the same time being recorded by the screen recorder. Of at most, in audacity and sync the audio with the video later [21:11] jsebean sorry, as I said, IDK. My theory is you'd run one app to capture skype input and another app to capture mic, e.g. skype-call-recorder (or simillar) and Audacity. Audacity can be set up to capture the system/mic sounds. NOTE: theory only. I've never tested it. But Audacity is quite adaptable. [21:11] nathanel__, if you wanted to have global access to the davfs mounts (ie not just for your main user) you would need to do something weird to get around the users issue, but i doubt the user could ever mount it [21:11] fantastic, I'll read. thx for the link [21:11] jsebean You don't have to do all the recording on the same box, right? 1 box records all skype, other records all mic/system sounds [21:12] jsebean meet up later to synch audios... [21:12] aren't there skype plugins to do this stuff? [21:12] ok [21:12] My experience from running a live Ubuntu CD to view a movie with the family: the screen was black and white, the file (from the USB memstick) could not be played even though it was a normal .avi, and Ubuntu made the fans sound like a jet engine. [21:12] CFHowlett: Well the skype vs other records mic/system sounds isnt the really the problem, thing is i can only get ubuntu to 1. Record my mic only or 2. record skype and all system sounds but not my mic [21:12] escott: copied conf and moved secrets to home [21:13] still the same [21:13] jsebean: if your happy to, then I would first familiarize myself with pulseaudio, with its abilities to change output input devices etc. and then if you are really serious, look into JACK [21:13] nathanel__, did you remove the conflicting entries from the /etc/davfs files [21:13] ya [21:13] it's been removed since 2 hrs ago when you posted your config [21:13] nathanel__, and did you update the conf to reference ~/.davfs2/secrets as the secrets file, and are those files properly chmod'ed and chown'ed [21:13] jsebean how's this...conference call the skype and have another skyper record audio and you record system sounds... [21:14] Bleh. Ubuntu can't print to HP PSC 1210. [21:14] Another thing Ubuntu can't do... [21:14] Later guys [21:14] adfasdfj: It should be able to, ubuntu has always had good compatibility with HP [21:14] I've fought with it for a few hours now [21:14] jsebean there are multiple skype-record utilities available... [21:14] adfasdfj: do you have a little more time? [21:14] chmod 655 chown nathanel? [21:15] Yes fine [21:15] hydrox24: I got pulseaudio to sort of do what I want. I can get it to record everything, skype, minecraft, even youtube, but not my microphone [21:15] adfasdfj: prints to my psc 1410 just fine...I can't imagine 1210 is all THAT much different [21:15] Better be a one-liner [21:15] escott: chmod 655 chown nathanel? [21:15] jsebean break up the task between different boxes... [21:15] nathanel__, just chown them to nathanel:nathanel and then see what the permission are with ls -l [21:15] CFHowlett: That's a lot of work lol [21:15] nathanel__, 755 for the conf and 700 for the secretes [21:16] jsebean you sound like a clever guy, I'm sure you can arrange it. Besides, if you're minecraft multiplayer, you've already got a network going. Just have someone else record the skype stream. [21:16] escott: done [21:17] still get the nobody error [21:17] CFHowlett: I think I can arrange something. If I was privileged to have a real mixing board then I'd be set lol [21:17] hola [21:18] jsebean true. This would be worth a write up or tutorial, so keep notes of your solution... [21:19] I seem to be stuck at grub rescue prompt after attempting to reinstall windows. I was never able to boot from dvd [21:19] escott: i told you it was a user group issue!!! i specified ignore_home nobody and now the error states it to be usbmuxd's property [21:20] treshoem: Did you or did you not run the Windows installer? [21:21] treshoem: change your BIOS to boot DVD and you can boot that [21:21] nathanel__, my ignorehome is just kernoops and distccd [21:21] im on fedora [21:22] Jordan_U: I did not . I am attempting to boot from dvd, but the laptop doesnt seem to allow that I am stuck at grub rescue prompt [21:23] nathanel__, paste.ubuntu.com/855850 [21:24] treshoem: How are you trying to boot from DVD? What DVD are you trying to boot? [21:24] Does anyone know how to restrict ALT+TAB to applications in the current workspace? [21:25] bluebomber: 11.10 does this already. [21:26] bastidrazor: Oneiric? It doesn't do that for me. [21:26] bluebomber: yes Oneiric. [21:26] treshoem if you're indeed booting from the u DVD you won't see grub at all... [21:26] bastidrazor: I have it installed and can confirm it does NOT do it for me. ALT+` switches between different instances of the same application, and ALT+TAB switches among all open applications. [21:27] escott: well ya [21:27] basically i needed to specify the ignore_home param [21:27] bastidrazor: i.e., ALT-TABing sends my flying from workspace to workspace. [21:27] <`korvin> hey, what does it mean when a symbolic link is red [21:27] Is there any sort of trace for rm, which will tell me which files an accidental rm -rf had deleted? [21:27] nathanel__, ok probably should file a bug with your upstream then [21:27] ya [21:28] yshavit: no [21:28] `korvin: that it no longer points to a valid file, I believe [21:28] guntbert: didn't think so. thanks anyway. [21:28] yshavit: history | grep rm [21:28] yshavit: :) [21:28] <`korvin> if I have it pointing to a directory, why would it be invalid? [21:28] yshavit: using force when unecessary is a BAD habit [21:28] ActionParsnip: I know what the command was.... [21:29] ActionParsnip: I hardly ever do, too. I usually use trash-cli and keep it safe. My mind is elsewhere today. [21:29] yshavit: if its in an archived folder, you could compare to the backed up data [21:29] `korvin: what does 'ls -l ' show? [21:30] ActionParsnip: you wouldn't believe it if I told you... :) [21:30] <`korvin> yeats, the problem was that I was within another sym link =p [21:30] `korvin: what does ls -ld say ? [21:30] `korvin: ah ;-) [21:31] yshavit: i don't follow you.. [21:31] ActionParsnip: step 1, mvn dependency:tree -Doutput=~/Desktop/file. Step 2, look at Desktop, nothing there. ls, oh haha there's a new ./~/Desktop/file in my mvn project root. The ~ doesn't expand there, silly me. [21:31] ActionParsnip: Step 3, rm -rf ~ [21:31] Step 3.5: WAIT NO NO NO NO NOT WHAT I MEANT! CTRL-C CTRL-C!! [21:32] hey [21:32] hi [21:32] yshavit: oh boy [21:32] ActionParsnip: and that's what I get for not getting enough sleep. [21:32] ActionParsnip: I'm not a newbie, I promise! :) Just sleepy and careless. [21:33] !undelete | yshavit [21:33] yshavit: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [21:33] yshavit: Ouch [21:33] ubottu: I'll take a look, thanks! [21:33] yshavit: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:33] yshavit: not to add insult to injury: but thats the dangerous mixture [21:33] ubottu: I meant to thaanks Jordan_U. See, this is me being sleepy. [21:33] yshavit: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:33] yshavit: I think the "I'm not a noob" excuse just died when you messaged a bot :X [21:34] yshavit: I recommend you turn off the computer, get some sleep, and come back to this problem tomorrow :) [21:34] rypervenche: not at all, it just reinforces the "I'm too tired to think" excuse. [21:34] Jordan_U: not a bad idea. [21:34] :) [21:34] escott: http://pastebin.com/V9nMdtcE (new popup) [21:34] yshavit: I hope you're not on the computer you deleted the stuff from.

[21:35] overwriting [21:35] yshavit: The more you use the hard disk, the more chance you will overwrite your data. [21:36] Ok, xubuntu will no longer load into a GUI. It loads straight to command prompt. When I try to xstart, it errors, saying "no screen found". The only possible cause I can think of is that I can UbuntuTweak earlier, and did a "Janitor" cleanup which erased (what it reffered to as) unneeded configurations/packages. Can anyone think of what specifically might have been deleted and how to resolve this without a reinstall? [21:36] *ran [21:36] rypervenche: meh, at this point I'm not too worried about recovering anything. It didn't run long, and anything important is backed up.

So far, the only symptom is that opening a new terminal tells me how to run a command as administrator. [21:38] but .bashrc is still there [21:39] yshavit: Who knows with which files it started. [21:39] rypervenche: not I! But I figure I'll find out as things break. ;) [21:39] rypervenche: like I said, anything important is backed up anyway [21:39] yshavit: Good luck. [21:39] rypervenche: thanks :) [21:40] rypervenche: maybe I should try (rm -rfv ~) and see if I can detect a pattern in what it deletes. Then I can work backwards to see what it would have deleted before! [21:40] ;) [21:41] yshavit: I believe using an asterisk goes in alphabetical order, but when I've done full directories, I have yet to see a pattern. Probably where the inodes are located or something. === awolfson is now known as awolfson__ [21:41] yshavit: afaik it deletes in the order dictated by the directory structures, which is difficult to predict [21:42] I was just joking with rm -rfv... === awolfson__ is now known as awolfson === Companion is now known as companion [21:45] adriano [21:47] yshavit: does rm have a simulate option to show what would be deleted?

[22:03] I've a question: Is there a way to remap the AltGr key to Ctrl with setxkbmap? [22:03] mun: a cron job needing a X display?? [22:03] ssta, what does it do? [22:03] guntbert, yes that too. [22:03] mun: same as su, but allows the user to use the originating user's X session [22:03] ssta: sux doesn't exist on ubuntu [22:04] mun: in my eyes a terrible idea [22:04] guntbert, why's that? [22:04] hello, does one of you tried to test a new distrib on a USB key, but even with the Bios setup to boot on a remote drive, the USB key does't load..does it sounds familar to one of you, please? [22:04] guntbert: hmm, I seem to have it available...maybe it was removed afterwards or somethng [22:05] mun: because cron jobs are essentially not intended for anything interactive - they should just run [22:05] guntbert, well my cronjob isn't interactive. it just displays a notification. [22:06] Ububulle the only time I've had that trouble has been when I was too lazy to md5sum the iso... [22:06] Ububulle: are you sure your USB key is actually bootable ? [22:06] Ububulle also, does your computer support usb boot? [22:06] mun: let it mail that notification .. [22:06] guntbert: I definitely seem to have sux available... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sux/+publishinghistory [22:06] guntbert, well it's for monitoring the battery level of my mouse. [22:08] mun: i see - why must that cronjob run as root? [22:08] guntbert: there's nothing wrong with running an X task in cron. I might question the value of having it run as a different user's cron... [22:08] hi guys I am trying ro un a function for evey file found [22:09] guntbert, because the program i use (revoco) needs root [22:09] guntbert, i think it needs root to access hiddev [22:09] boink__: either the execd option to find or pipe the filelist to xargs [22:09] i have a find . -type f etc btu it aint doing anything [22:09] s/execd/exec/ [22:09] anyone have any ideas why all graphical apps appear to enter a state of limbo when I xset dpms force off?

I'm running 11.04 because I don't want to move up to GNOME 3, Unity doesn't work right with enhanced zoom desktop in compiz, and other DEs don't have things I'd like (like no clicking on the laptop trackpad). I have to work with an SDL package that relies on SDL_ttf 2.0.10+, and the latest version available is 2.0.9. I can't remove it either, because it's a dependency of a number of programs I'd rather keep. What should I do? Thanks. [23:43] ahh i see [23:43] floup_ install flash plaugin via software center...
