[00:00] how do i set up my boot, recognize both windows and ubuntu, cause now it just starts up automaticly ubuntu [00:00] to recognize* [00:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [00:00] so, if it's recoverable, how do i go about recovering it? [00:01] colby: i've seen an article about how to fix that... looking for it now [00:01] ok [00:01] mdsn: you manipulate /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:01] hey guys pc doesn;t actually suspend in ubuntu 11.10 anyone have this issue? [00:02] colby: grub> prompt: GRUB 2 loaded modules but was unable to find the grub.cfg file [00:02] how come I can't edit the /var/www/ folder [00:02] goodyob: use sudo to chown it to your user [00:02] colby: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery [00:02] humungulous i found that out during my googling but i don't know how to fix it. [00:03] chipzzz i ran across that in my googling, but my cd instantly boots to try or install with no recovery option [00:03] do i have to do the recovery after the livecd boots into ubuntu? [00:04] colby: system sounds like it doesnt see the drive at all [00:04] er i mean the partition [00:04] Are there other things I should be doing to make grub boot properly? "nomodeset" isn't enough to resolve my issue. [00:04] colby: yes, you can press alt-f1 and get a command prompt from which to work [00:05] humungulous: Any way to make the folder public? [00:05] goodyob: dont understand what you mean [00:05] pressed alt+f1 and nothing [00:05] ctrl-alt-f1 ? [00:05] cursor still blinking at the grub> [00:05] oh [00:05] he means once in the recovery [00:06] colby: first boot the live CD and then, when its desktop is running, press alt-f1 [00:06] colby: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#GRUB_2_Troubleshooting_Preparation [00:06] oh you mean terminal [00:06] the terminal [00:06] yes [00:06] humungulous: nvm, I wanted to know how to make it so that everyone has access to the folder, but after I gave myself permission I was able to do it manually [00:07] how do you extract a 7z file? [00:07] grkblood: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html [00:08] all right...but it's going to take about 10mins to get there (old p3 850mhz w/ 256? ram) [00:08] grkblood: you can do it with p7zip it is upstream... apt-get install p7zip [00:08] grkblood: or possibly sudo apt-get install p7zip will work [00:08] lol [00:08] colby: throw that thing away lol [00:08] thanks [00:09] colby: it's ok... get a terminal window that way and follow the instructions on the page i linked for you... you'll be up and running in no time :-) [00:09] thanks [00:09] glad to help :-) [00:10] humungulous - i would, but it's all i've got to run my wireless home network. i just need to get it running so i can share broadband with my wife's and my laptops (and possibly the blue ray player) [00:10] colby: why u no get a wireless router [00:10] are there any good cpu burnin tools for modern i7 cous? [00:10] Hello eveyone! [00:11] LunaVorax greetings [00:11] Is Ubuntu for i686 32bits processors only? [00:11] no [00:11] it will run on x64 processors [00:11] because we're poor and i'm using the equipment i've already got [00:11] LunaVorax no the amd64 is also available [00:11] married, 1 kid, full time college, part-time job, wife also working and we're just barely scraping buy :D [00:12] No, I meant. I'm talking about the 32bit version. Debian is compiled to be i386 compatible. [00:12] Hello. Does anyone here have experience with Ubuntu Cloud in AWS/EC2? [00:12] LunaVorax: it'll run on any processor. [00:12] LunaVorax if you've got more than 4 gigs of ram, consider 64 bit. Otherwise, 32 bit should work just fine. [00:12] colby: hang in there... there are better days to come :-) [00:12] Ok, thanks bastidrazor. === macmartine_ is now known as macmartine [00:12] colby: craigslist free section someonell be giving one away [00:12] specifically, after creating an AMI of a running instance, I can't log in using the same key pair... [00:12] CFHowlett, no it's not the case. [00:13] at 34? i think i've hit my highpoint lol [00:13] colby: you aren't even half-way there yet... keep the faith ;-) [00:14] i'll have to check out that section humungulous, thanks for the tip [00:14] hello can any one help me with my ubuntu installation ? [00:14] i find your lack of positivity refreshing [00:14] jeregon ask away ... details [00:14] jeregon, what is going on? [00:15] whats the bot command for telling people not to say hi [00:15] CFHowlett well im having problems with the display the only way im able to access is to enter through recovery mode wich is how im talking to you now [00:15] !nomodeset > jeregon [00:15] jeregon, please see my private message [00:15] nice [00:16] efficient [00:16] jeregon read the nomodset info plz [00:16] CFHowlett: COULD POINT ME THE WAY? [00:16] jeregon, you might need a graphics driver do your update and upgrade in ubuntu and then look at the additional drivers app. [00:17] Any thoughts on my AWS problem? [00:17] ubottu: how do i see your private message [00:17] jeregon: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:17] jeregon: it should have come up above [00:17] jeregon, should be in the channel list [00:17] I don't know how you switch into a private message from irssi [00:17] jeregon: what irc client are you using? [00:18] Chipzzz: irssi [00:18] jeregon: alt+3 [00:18] hey i think i am in the wrong place but i am trying to get a webserver up and running and i have tried ispconfig with no luck is there a tutorial that could help me?

Anyone know the solution to this? [00:20] humungulous: you do know i am using the computer i am having trouble with right? just in recovery :/ [00:20] Welcome [00:21] what does ubuntu use instead of xinetd? [00:21] ug. [00:21] Chipzzz: thats is correct [00:21] jeregon: ok didnt think that through. if you have another working computer around just google ubuntu nomodeset and go to the first result [00:21] ug?

Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 - Blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:23] jeregon: in irssi you can switch windows with alt-1, alt-2, alt-3, etc... your pvt msg from ubottu is probably in the window at alt-3... this should be at alt-2 for you [00:23] lewis1711: its Alpha release, you will get issues [00:23] ActionParsnip: maybe it's not 12.04 I can't even remember [00:23] something bothers me [00:23] if he's a server layout why would X be at issue [00:23] My headphones arent working. I have checked the settings. The speakers work fine. How can i fix this? [00:23] maybe its something else [00:23] lewis1711: what does: lsb_release -sc say? [00:24] tyler-riddle92: what make and model system? [00:24] oneiric [00:24] lewis1711: then its 11.10 and is supported here [00:24] Chipzzz: i got it thanks for the help ill take a look at this :) [00:24] yeah it's 11.10. sorry, my mistake [00:24] humungulous: his desktop doesn't work because of the video card... he's using terminal mode right now [00:24] anyway, about the fonts. is this controlled somewhere centrally? getting the same issue in the lubuntu thing, as well as plain openbox [00:24] jeregon: :-) [00:25] lewis1711: if you set the font aliasing to something then set it as you want, is it better? [00:25] I have no clue where to set it though [00:25] Chipzzz: well im not looking for a desktop environment all i realy whant is a VPN server [00:25] hi all, has anyone tried using wireless broadband with Ubuntu? [00:25] jeregon: then install the server layout [00:26] humungulous: i did thhis is what im using [00:26] jeregon: the graphical desktop will just be bloat [00:26] jeregon: and you cannot boot normally? [00:26] Warp4: yes, works fine [00:26] yea wireless [00:26] Warp4, can you give details of your setup and problem.:0 [00:26] jeregon: oh... i thought you needed the desktop... what problem are you having, then? [00:26] jeregon: this whole time we've been treating your situation as it desktop [00:26] lol [00:26] jeregon: different problem than that assumed [00:27] " System -> Preferences -> Appearance" what's the name of this binary? slow computer will explode if I boot into gnome [00:27] * humungulous faceslaps various ppl [00:27] rofl [00:27] Nice one.

[00:28] adam__: ya [00:28] urfr332gO, basically, its a regular ubuntu desktop machine, i want to connect to my mobile broadband internet provider with it in case cable goes down [00:28] thanks. [00:29] jeregon: so we need to know what you see when attempting normal boot [00:29] Chipzzz: i can but there seem to be currupted data (but i know theres not so i sing in and put in the command reboot) and using the grub menu select the second option which i think is recovery mode [00:29] when i hook the device up to the USB port, all dmesg returns is that it is another USB drive [00:29] !init | adam__ [00:29] adam__: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [00:29] jeregon: you arrive to a login prompt at normal boot though? [00:29] humungulous, adam__, what is the connection between a internet superserver and a startup/rc-control mechanism? [00:29] Warp4, cool but with what card/chip and how exactly, a modem, your phone, smoke signals. :) [00:30] xinetd was a hook point for starting services [00:30] urfr332gO, its not a phone [00:30] humungulous: yes bu cant see it it all seems like a whole bunch of white blocks that are chiped off some but not all instead of the normal characters [00:30] just a CDMA/EVDO modem [00:30] for lack of a better phrase [00:30] ActionParsnip: using plain openbox, but lxappearance seems to have worked. fonts still look weird though, they probably just changed since last version [00:30] Warp4, cool did you notice the 4 questions and need for details? [00:31] i did and i provided all i know. [00:31] what's a good programming language to learn if you're new [00:31] jeregon: odd [00:31] humungulous: but i know were i am due to what i know from past expirinses [00:31] and are there any chats on this server that could help? [00:31] humungulous, xinetd/inetd offer lots of options you won't get with just starting a service (hosts.{allow,deny} etc) [00:31] ignoredthoughts: to learn programming in general, or to do a specific task? [00:31] jeregon: there are solutions to several problems you may be having, but what is your goal... desktop, server, ...etc.? [00:31] Warp4, cool can't help you then, good luck :) [00:31] hello [00:31] lewis1711: to learn programming in general [00:31] Chipzzz: VPN server [00:31] I want to major in computer science [00:31] nibbler: so what do you believe the correct answer to adam__'s question is then [00:32] humungulous: yes quit the problem LOL [00:32] C++ is what i've started hacking at but some people suggested I look elsewhere [00:32] ignoredthoughts, good for you sign up for classes. [00:32] ignoredthoughts: Python or Ruby. I think Ruby is better but I'm sure many people here will vehemently disagree with me. can't go much wrong with either [00:32] humungulous: any sudgestions? === cassy is now known as dansoap [00:32] yeah, C++ is interesting... many people who learn it first end up programming it really badly. [00:32] jeregon: ok so you have a character set issue on normal boot [00:32] urfr332gO: am in school just going through the pre-reqs [00:32] humungulous, ubuntu has xinetd in its repo aswell, but prefers to start daemons directly [00:32] urfr332gO, can't take the classes until i'm done [00:33] humungulous: what do you mean by that [00:33] ? [00:33] lewis1711, i've read that python is for scripting, is ruby the same? [00:33] humungulous: i want to be presise on my answers [00:33] and do you know if there is a chat dedicated to comp science or programming in general [00:33] Hi… is there a "automated" script to setup ubuntu to act as a simple router/file server ? [00:33] ? [00:33] ignoredthoughts, cool your scool have a pretty good CS program I have a friend who switched to this late knowing no language and sems to be learning it fast, but she is brilliant to begin with. [00:33] jeregon: google for how to change console font [00:33] school*/seems [00:34] ignoredthoughts: yeah but scripting is programming, I would ignore the distinction at this stage, it's fuzzy at best [00:34] humungulous: why does it worke only on recue mode? [00:34] Python is for anything, it's Turing-complete. ;) [00:34] work* [00:34] how to delete folder from terminal? [00:34] jeregon: can you edit /etc/default/console-setup [00:34] urfr332gO, working on math at the moment. pain but gotta do it [00:34] hi [00:34] what's Turing-complete? [00:34] Python > Ruby? [00:34] i know that's a dangerous question [00:34] hi [00:34] ignoredthoughts, eww I hate math. :) [00:34] humungulous: using lilo i think [00:34] ? [00:34] my end goal is going to be pretty much video game programming? [00:34] actually C is a good choice if you want to go purely educational. It's slower to program than other languages, but it's very useful, and other languages will be easy after learning it [00:35] ignoredthoughts, http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TuringComplete [00:35] jeregon: try sudo pico /etc/efault/console-setup and play with the values in there [00:35] efault=default [00:35] jeregon: i think there's an openvpn in the repos... you can "sudo apt-get install" it from your command line if that's all you need [00:35] That means anything can be done given enough resources. [00:35] humungulous: ok cool thanks for the help\ [00:35] You can write device drivers in Python given enough resources. That's just my way of saying that Python isn't *only* for scripting. [00:35] has anybody an idea how to solve my aptitude problem http://pastebin.com/hjqhqrEa thank you === M4dH4TT3r is now known as Guest76033 [00:35] Chipzzz: yeap i know :) thanks though [00:36] ignoredthought: video game programming has traditionally primarily been done in c++ [00:36] i have tried to cancel pending actions - no luck [00:36] qf, use apt-get [00:36] What is a good channel to ask general programming questions? [00:36] non-language specific [00:36] command to delete folder? pls [00:37] jason1234, this is ubuntu support ##linux might be better if not ubuntu specific. [00:37] Timmo: rm -rf [00:37] use with care [00:37] rm -R /folder [00:37] delthank you [00:37] Timmo_, rmdir folder <-- works with empty ones only [00:37] ;) [00:37] jasonlfunk: do you ask because you are interested in learning programming? [00:37] jasonlfunk, this is ubuntu support ##linux might be better if not ubuntu specific. [00:38] hey guys I'm kinda new to linux and I have a question [00:38] oh with apt-get there is no error - but why exists since one day these problems with aptitude? [00:38] hey there, does somebody know how you can find out your USB (port?) number that a keyboard is connected to? I mean that what looks like USB3 , USB4 (sorry for the agressive noobishness) [00:38] Chipzzz: No… I'm looking for specific resources on an algorithm or oss software about a specific problem that I'm trying to solve. [00:38] never know though somewhat depends on how many questions really jasonlfunk [00:38] humungulous: there seems to be nothing there? [00:38] e.g what is the difference of ubuntu to arch other any other dist since I can change the gui to gnome7kde,xfce .... [00:38] beside like the paketmanager .. [00:39] jasonlfunk: pvt me and i'll see if i know anything that might help [00:39] luke--_, lsusb [00:39] jeregon: the file is not present? [00:39] ErrorLarry, a whole lot of similarities in linux overall not really a ubuntu support question though. [00:39] would anyone mind helping me with a dual video card / dual display problem [00:39] How logoff user via terminal? [00:39] humungulous: well it opens but theres no txt [00:40] text [00:40] ErrorLarry, its the quality of the packages, the idea behind the project (userfriendlyness eg ubuntu, complete free eg debian etc etc) [00:40] ErrorLarry, install both and compare and contrast. [00:40] jeregon: what does ls /etc/default/console-setup show [00:40] urfr332g0, ok sry I guess im gonna search for another channel [00:40] nibbler: It's the bus number there, right? not the device number. Is that correct? [00:40] humungulous: let me see [00:40] ErrorLarry, try ##linux you have to be signed up to freenode though. [00:40] CXIV, exit, logout or ctrl-d [00:41] Whan I use pkill -KILL -u user , then user is "rebooting" in bash [00:41] urfr332g0,yea I know sux .. I have now ubuntu testing, gnome3 (lots of trouble), openbox, xfce, kde .... did mostly the same on arch and debian [00:41] humungulous: well i wrote exactly what you wrote and you forgot the d on default LOL [00:41] tca, just ask your question, maybe someone has an answer - dont ask to ask [00:42] Question, is a Java JDK available through apt-get or do I have to manually install it? I don't mean JRE. [00:42] jeregon: ack yeah i corrected it on the next line [00:42] humungulous: now it opens :) [00:42] jeregon good [00:42] Antares: should be [00:42] If I want to represent a dataset and show only the last member of the set, but that there are many entries before it, does {*,"stuff I want to say"} make sense? [00:42] openjdk-6-jdk [00:42] I cannot logoff that user -_- [00:43] Even from sudo [00:43] humungulous: what should i chage? [00:43] humungulous: change* [00:43] lemme look [00:43] CXIV, check his terminal with w or who, use fuser -k /dev/pts/X (or such) [00:43] humungulous: ok\ [00:44] Thanks humungulous. :) [00:44] jeregon: FONTFACE and FONTSIZE [00:44] humungulous: to what? [00:44] thats a good question [00:44] what are they now [00:44] humungulous: hahaha LOL [00:44] humungulous: let me see [00:45] humungulous: fontface is "FIXED" and font size is 16 [00:46] what is desctop directory in 11.10 [00:46] ? [00:46] plz [00:46] :) [00:46] Timmo_: /desktop? [00:46] nibbler Its not working [00:46] yes [00:46] jeregon: try VGA and 16 [00:47] humungulous: ok [00:47] I cannot log that user out [00:47] CXIV, maybe he is just logging in instantly again? [00:47] nibbler Yes [00:48] nibbler How block it? [00:48] jeregon: if that doesnt change the problem then its possible im barking up the wrong tree [00:48] humungulous: let me reboot ill back [00:48] ok [00:48] Im in sudoers [00:50] cd /home/desktop no go [00:50] ? [00:50] Timmo: ~/Desktop/ [00:50] thanks [00:51] How delete an user that is instantly logging in? -_- [00:51] I cannot use deluser because he is logged. [00:52] CXIV: do ps -ef | grep [00:52] hi , where does the default gateway ip gets written to, i am looking at the /etc/interfaces file and i dont see it there [00:52] And when I logoff him he instantly log in [00:52] CXIV: find the PID of his shell process [00:52] CXIV: kill -9 that PID [00:52] CXIV: im skeptical of this instantly logging in diagnosis [00:53] CXIV, delete the user, deluser [00:53] CXIV, and then kill the active process [00:53] what news === jaxatl is now known as undersc_re [00:53] humungulous: did not work :( [00:53] curses [00:54] ch33z: you around? [00:54] so you boot normally, and all the console activity looks like in a garbage character set [00:54] tomvolek, /etc/network/interfaces is the right place, but its not there if you use dhcp [00:54] humungulous I killed all PID's , and new PID's from that user are... [00:54] and the only way you can reboot is by guesswork and knowing what it should be saying [00:54] no such directory [00:54] CXIV, deletion of user might be replaced by unsetting his password, or changing his shell to /bin/false [00:54] f headache [00:55] :) [00:55] humungulous: it looks like white blocks with a mix of bricks LOL [00:55] jeregon: if you check the file we modified in /etc/default/ were your changes maintained === iqpi|on is now known as iqpi|off [00:55] nibbler How can I change his password if he is logged in? [00:56] CXIV, either replace the password field in /etc/shadow by a "*" or use "sudo passwd usernamehere" [00:56] humungulous: let me check and about the guess qork stuff is corect :/ [00:57] how do i allow ubuntu to be connected to via port 22? [00:57] file sharing.... [00:57] CXIV, if this user is not a real user, like a human, or someone actually logging in, but more a cronjob or such, changing password wont help. same if it uses challenge/respnse auth in ssh e.g. [00:57] bon [00:57] Thanks humungulous once more, I got JDK 6 and 7 installed and Netbeans is up and running. :) [00:57] chipotle, aptitude install openssh-server [00:57] humungulous: yes it was maintained [00:57] Antares: cool, that was easy [00:57] nibbler: is that what i need for file sharing via sshfs? [00:58] Hi. Trying to install nvidia drivers and cuda onto ubuntu 11.10. Looks like I have a conflict with driver issues. Now X won't start. Anyone around who can help me diagnose a problem? [00:58] jeregon: well you can try some of the other values [00:58] chipotle, yes. mind the impact please, weas user accounts can let hackers in. and mind your network setup (home router, you might need portforwards etc) [00:58] jeregon: the ones that are listed in the comments above where they are set [00:58] hola [00:58] humungulous: ok will do [00:58] que es esto [00:58] :( [00:58] jeregon: im afraid i got to go but good luck [00:58] !es juan_ [00:59] salut [00:59] yes [00:59] nibbler So what should I do? [00:59] what's the command to start the gnome 3 shell [00:59] buena snoches [00:59] Hi there. I'm having mouse cursor issues. The mouse theme I've selected only appears over Firefox. Everywhere else it's a black pointer. I'm using Gnome Shell on 11.10 [00:59] humungulous: what was it that thing you mentioned earlyer? [00:59] the weekend begins [00:59] what thing? [00:59] stevecam: press ALT+F2 and run: gnome-shell --replace [00:59] /etc/defaults/console-setup ? [00:59] humungulous: about the desktop and how you need it for old desktops and the bot sent it to me [00:59] CXIV, first find out what this user is, whats his name? what means does he use to login? in doubt use "userdel" (or was it "deluser"?) to delete the account completely [01:00] what means cp: omitting directory './mdocimages' ? [01:00] jeregon: nomodeset, but it only pertains to graphical installations [01:00] is there another way to share a file? i don't have wifi set up yet and i want to transfer to my other computer..... [01:00] jeregon: you have server layout which is console-only [01:00] Timmo_, that means you did not use -r to also copy directories [01:00] jeregon: and your issue is a console issue [01:00] bonjour a tout la communaute ubuntu et linux et au monde libre des logiciel free [01:00] chipotle: use a usb stick.. [01:00] thx [01:00] humungulous: ok cool then have a great week end :0 [01:00] :) [01:00] jeregon, ssh is a pretty good idea for that. do you have a router at home to connect to the internet? [01:00] kthx [01:01] ActionParsnip: says that the file is too large for the file system... [01:01] nibbler [01:01] ActionParsnip, more then what i needed to know, but thank you your answer is still helpful [01:01] vous parle francais [01:01] nibbler: well im talking to you through it LOl [01:01] My sound isn't working, I don't know why (Don't know much about this type of stuff) [01:01] The mouse pointer theme worked correctly under Unity on 11.10, and worked for a little while under Gnome Shell, but no longer. I do not know what changed. [01:01] jeregon, i don't undertand, talkint to me thought what? [01:01] nibbler What is name of conf file where I can find users? [01:02] nibbler: how do i know it will allways start even though there has been a power outage? [01:02] chipotle: are you using FAT32 by any chance? [01:02] CXIV, /etc/passwd for users, /etc/shadow for passwords (hashed) [01:02] jeregon, what? [01:02] ActionParsnip: it's from a mac computer [01:02] chipotle: FAT32 has a maximum file size of 4Gb, so if your file is bigger then it will explain [01:02] the usb stick [01:02] yea, it's 6gb [01:03] makes sense, i did it for maximum compatibility across systems [01:03] ActionParsnip: which fs do you recommend? [01:03] chipotle: then you are using FAT32 which can only hold 4Gb files [01:03] nibbler: ok whatever yes i do have a router that connects to the internet and i belive i insyalled open ssh on this server [01:03] chipotle: NTFS or Ext2 wil be fine [01:03] Can anyone help me? [01:04] http://imgur.com/5KRfE can anyone tell what's wrong with my font here? it's on Sans 10, which AFAIK is the default ubuntu font, but it looks really, really weird [01:04] nibbler: continue dont mind what i sayd earlier LOL [01:04] ztag100: if you ask the question and someone can help, they'll let you know [01:04] jeregon, sorry, now i understood :) well, if you have a router and did not configure port forwards for ssh, then you don'tneed to be scared of hackers, but you'll only be able to be connected to from computers in your local network [01:04] chipotle: or you can use tar to split the file, then reform on the other side [01:04] nibbler: sorry to have confused you [01:04] nibbler i was using dhcp , but i am trying to make it staitc.. what do i need to add to the interface file [01:04] Chipzzz: Sorry, it's just... I don't remember if this ever happened before, and I'm not sure how to fix it [01:05] nibbler: i whant to be able to connect from outside the network [01:05] ok [01:05] ztag100: ask away... [01:05] My sound isn't working, I don't know why (Don't know much about this type of stuff) [01:05] yes i fixed monodocs (http) thanks for help [01:05] nibbler: local network [01:05] :) [01:06] ActionParsnip: so besides openssh-server, what do i need to brose disks on ubuntu via ssh on a mac computer? [01:06] tomvolek, http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=83654&postcount=3 [01:06] jeregon, then you ahve to make sure you configure your router to forward port 22 to your pc - and make sure you have proper passwords on all accounts === onre is now known as Guest75065 [01:06] chipotle: thats it, the openssh server gives an SFTP service [01:07] chipotle: you can connect with filezilla if you want another GUI to it [01:07] salut [01:07] nibbler: [01:07] ztag100: can you provide a little background... hardware, did it ever work, what version ubuntu, stuff like that? [01:07] so where i could write soliution for bug? [01:07] nibbler: ok cool do you mind walking me through the steps on doing this? [01:08] Shoot, I just noticed I got my machines confused. This one isn't even running ubuntu (I fail) [01:08] lol [01:08] I'm asking in the apropriate channel now [01:08] jeregon, as this is 0 ubuntu related, and all routers are sort of different, sorry, no [01:08] nibbler: keep in mind that the computer that i will be using is this one [01:08] nibbler: not the router side but the server side [01:08] ztag100: glad to help ;-) [01:08] jeregon, check your routers manual. on the server side you are done with "sudo aptitude install openssh-server" [01:09] nibbler: hmm [01:09] nibbler: i'd use apt-get as aptitude is not in a default install [01:09] realy then how do i connect using the local network? [01:10] ActionParsnip, it got removed? interesting, thanks :-) apt-get > aptitude imho anyway, don't know how i got used the aptitude.... [01:10] nibbler: yeah its in the repos and stuff, just not default installed :) [01:10] nibbler: i use apt-fast personally [01:11] jeregon, on the client: ssh USER@IP (remote login) or scp /blah/file user@ip:/tmp for filetransfer, or use a client like filezilla [01:12] ActionParsnip, Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "apt-fast" ? [01:12] nibbler: there is a ppa for it, its basically apt-get + axel. Downloads packages from 3 places instead of just one [01:12] ok, i'm not having any luck [01:12] Is there any way to add a program to the Unity launcher manually? I don't have the "keep in launcher" option when I right click. [01:13] can somebody help me setup my live cd so that I can apt-get stuff [01:13] what i have noticed though is that my partitions are not showing as (hd0,1), they are showing as (hd0,msdos1) [01:13] Antares: sure, make a .desktop in /usr/share/applications and it will appear in dash, you can then drag from dash as you normaly would [01:13] could this be part of the problem? [01:13] anyone running ubuntu 11.10 under macbook pro from efi ? [01:13] I get "E: Unable to locate package blah" on the live cd [01:13] ActionParsnip, ah okay.. sounded interesting, but my download speeds are usually quiet nice, so i'll skip this enhancement ;-) [01:13] no-name-, the cd wont save them right? [01:14] no-name-: that is the default behaviour, you can install and update as long as you have enough ram space [01:14] colby: did you install windows after ubuntu? [01:14] no [01:14] had windows on it first [01:14] ActionParsnip: but how do I change it? [01:14] no-name-, if you shutdown that is. [01:14] nibbler: ok cool thakns === _bb is now known as bb05 [01:14] urfr332gO: right [01:14] thanks* [01:14] nibbler: makes the download max out my connection :) [01:14] no-name-, an option might be to make a bootable usb stick with a persistent part - use the usb creator that is availablein the live-cd system for that [01:14] no-name-: what, change the default behaviour to what it already is...? [01:15] colby: ubuntu should have taken care of it during install, then... you had it running until you did updates, didn't you? [01:15] no-name-: the changes aren't persistant but you can install what you want [01:15] ActionParsnip: no. change it to make it so that I can apt-get stuff [01:15] yup [01:15] jeregon, if you want to synchronise you might want to look into rsync, works just as scp, but does not transfer stuff that is already there [01:15] ActionParsnip: but I get the unable to locate package msg [01:15] no-name-: the liveCD can have stuff apt-getted to it, they just don't stick. Do you want the changes to stay? [01:15] !info msg [01:15] Package msg does not exist in oneiric [01:15] colby: no luck with fixing grub from the live cd? [01:15] ActionParsnip: I don't want the changes to stay [01:15] nope [01:16] hi [01:16] no-name-: run: sudo apt-get update first [01:16] :-( [01:16] i'd do an fdisk in windows then a format of the partition, but with linux, i don't understand how to set up partitions and swap spaces and all that jazz [01:16] colby: how far did you get with that... ? [01:16] ok === Bushman_ is now known as Bushman [01:16] nothing i did worked with my system [01:16] no-name-: obviously you will need to get the system online and so forth [01:17] anyone worked with MIDI in U11.10? [01:17] colby: gparted does that for you [01:17] i have no idea how to force it to make a sound [01:17] colby: its part of the installation [01:17] Bushman: do you have timidity installed? [01:17] well, apparently it didn't do it's job lol [01:17] ActionParsnip: what is that? [01:18] ActionParsnip: ok, I've run apt-get update [01:18] Bushman: same place every other app you install is... [01:18] no-name-: did you hit servers ok? [01:18] ActionParsnip: i asked "what" not "where" [01:18] hello guys, i just installed ubuntu on this system, and it also has win7 on it, along side. is there a way to expand my ubuntu partition for apps, once installed. i'd like to keep my current install but add more space, for more apps [01:18] colby: you can use fdisk in terminal if you want. You will need to run: sudo fdisk diskname e.g: sudo fdisk /dev/sda [01:18] (btw: i use synaptic PM) [01:19] !info timidity | Bushman [01:19] Bushman: timidity (source: timidity): Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player).

[01:19] colby: have you tried holding down the shift key while rebooting to see if you could get a grub menu? [01:19] yes and no dice [01:20] tried the esc trick too [01:20] can i use the methods here to do a ubuntu resize http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions [01:20] which esc trick? [01:20] hitting the esc key repeatedly [01:20] i read it somewhere on one of these pages [01:20] aphixe: you can resize partitions in liveCD. I suggest you resize the ntfs in win7 then resize the linux partition in liveCD into the free space. I also suggest you ensure your backups are up to date in case of catastrophe [01:20] ActionParsnip: I don't know what you mean [01:21] ActionParsnip: no i don't. will that make Rosegarden or VMPK to play sound? [01:21] ActionParsnip: oh. yes. [01:21] er, hey, this isn't strictly about ubuntu, but the only surviving copy of my work is open in kate, which has just frozen up (the screen's dimmed, app's unresponsive, etc.) [01:21] colby: (*shrugs*) didn't know about that... [01:21] it's likely because i had the files opened up remotely and now they're gone, then i stupidly pressed 'save all' when i meant to press 'save as...' and it's probably trying to restore the connection or something...is there any hope that it'll wake up? :{ [01:22] i'm thinking maybe...just maybe, if i kick the machine in the right spot and just hard enough, it'll start to work [01:22] ActionParsnip, so if i boot up via the livecd. and use say disk utility app, or say gparted. i can keep my ubuntu data yes? and should i in win7 resize it and use linux to fill the extra space [01:22] colby: lol... it used to work back in the day ;-) [01:22] Bushman no ubuntustudio?

[01:23] wtf [01:23] hello [01:23] simple stuff starting with just midi playback from players [01:23] colby: have you looked here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ? [01:24] CFHowlett: well, no. [01:24] i have some questionns about ubuntu server [01:24] if i got 6giga ram i need a swap of 12giga? [01:24] see [01:24] things like that [01:24] how can i go about troubleshooting why my wired network drops a connection?

[01:25] CFHowlett: already installed with Sinaptics [01:25] ok... can anyone tell me why a wired connection drops? [01:25] colby: sorry... bad question then...

I don't know how to enable it though. [01:28] Bushman: thats all I know of midi. most apps use it for midi goodness [01:28] * stapper [01:28] -_-' [01:28] colby: did you try "boot-repair" from the live cd? [01:28] no-name-: in software centre, or you can manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list if you want [01:28] some help -_-' [01:28] Anyone? [01:29] Taos: is the file format correct? [01:29] * stapper is wondering if there are any known problems with ubuntu server and the AMD FX-6100 prossecor [01:29] stapper: its a cpu, should be fine [01:29] ActionParsnip: Maybe not [01:29] Bushman I use Ubuntustudio but not midi.

[01:36] nibbler: so im wondering what im doing wrong [01:36] timmo__: if your're in the same directory as the file just type the filename no need for ./ or / [01:36] -r [01:37] colby: are you doing a reinstall? [01:37] not really [01:37] i'm just looking at the partition table right now [01:37] bastidrazor: thank you ;] [01:38] what theming will unity/gnome accept? [01:38] timmo__: you're welcome [01:38] i don't understand it though because in grub when i typed ls it gave me (hd0) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0) (fd0,msdos1) and (fd1) (fd1,msdos1) [01:38] this doesn't show any of that [01:38] root@orca-MS-6728:/home/orca/Desktop# cp -r MonoDevelop.desktop /usr/share/applications/ [01:38] cp: cannot stat `MonoDevelop.desktop': No such file or directory [01:38] just /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 [01:38] :)) [01:38] colby: strange [01:39] timmo__: .desktop is a file do not use -r. are you sure that file is in that directory?

[01:44] bastidrazor: thank you i misstaked file name [01:44] yup, the other install didn't work so well [01:44] ;] [01:44] colby the default ubuntu system needs about 4 gigs. Your /home can be as large as you like ... but don't you also have windows on that machine? [01:44] colby: i'd give 10G to /, 2xRAM to swap, and the rest to /home [01:45] timmo__: you can use tab to auto complete the filename.. for example Mono*tab tab .. it should complete it IF the file is in the same working directory [01:45] well i need to be walked through this [01:45] colby, you might consider opening gparted and taking a screen shot then putting it in a imagebin so we know exactly what your dealing with. [01:45] lol, if only it were that easy [01:45] lol [01:45] the live cd hangs when i try to boot up [01:45] all i can do is install [01:46] colby, it is you have internet with the computer right? [01:46] hopefully that will fix it [01:46] no, i'm on my laptop right now [01:46] colby are u using USB?

[01:47] colby, wont work to little ram really [01:48] 11.10 [01:48] ubuntu? [01:48] that little RAM use lubuntu [01:48] colby, just a thought.. did you do a memtest? [01:48] colby the alternate installer is text based - much better for your installation scenario.. also, given your specs, you might wish to consider xubuntu or lubuntu lightweight distros for low spec computers.

[01:49] urfr332gO, lubuntu is the fastest i've seen [01:49] it runs on 88-89 mb of RAM [01:49] idle [01:49] colby: i would burn a copy of the server edition & install that [01:49] ignoredthoughts, hardly [01:49] urfr332gO, explain [01:50] ignoredthoughts, never seen mine go below 120Mb even when trimmed. [01:50] hmmm i do have 11.04 server somewhere around here...but like i said, i don't know enough linux to get around without a gui [01:50] i'm running it on a netbook now and am in mid-install [01:50] am @ 246 mb [01:50] <__machine> ActionParsnip: [01:50] idle i'm at 88 [01:50] colby: i'm thinking your problem may have to do with the lack of memory, which would be solved if you didn't try to run the desktop [01:51] dunno what you're using [01:51] <__machine> ActionParsnip: that seems to work thanks… i added ,iocharset=utf8 to my fstab [01:51] urfr332gO, what's your CPU?

[01:56] 19:36:50 jason1234, this is ubuntu support ##linux might be better if not ubuntu specific. [01:56] Chipzzz: I didn't have the dest directory created yet.

[02:01] is it possible to set variables that pass on to different shells, like $VALUE === meisth0th is now known as zz_meisth0th [02:02] DropsOfSerenity: although you can't change the sensitivity of the control, you can use a less sensitive part of its range...

I'm gonna try it again tomorow but for now, sleep. [02:03] DropsOfSerenity: volume controls are logarithmic, & you have one in the system tray and another on the player... you can use that to your advantage in this situation [02:03] g'nite [02:03] Bushman glad you got some results. Have fun/be safe [02:03] covi: glad to help :-) [02:04] Chipzzz, theres gotta be a tweak somewhere, mabye in the dconf registry? When I press the button it's gotta be executing a command telling how much to change it, I just want to tweak that command. [02:04] ActionParsnip, I updated toFirefox- [02:04] is E450 slow for browsing and office? I'm thinking wether I should go for a 2.6kg laptop with i3 or a 1.5kg netbook with E450. === moes is now known as Ray2 === Ray2 is now known as moes [02:05] moes: ok... [02:05] DropsOfSerenity: there could be a tweak of which i'm unaware, but if there isn't, you can try what i suggested :-) [02:06] Chipzzz, yeah it's not really what I wanted, it's not a big deal, I just want easier gradation when I change my volume via my media keys. for all things.

[02:07] DropsOfSerenity: good luck :-) [02:07] hi [02:07] jason1234, I think if I remember that is what happened these things happen, the response to question our conversation just has a retaliatory tinge to it except for one post I was on Ubuntu topic. [02:07] I used to be able to see a video loading in a web browser in /tmp/ but for some reason i stopped seeing them there so I can't save them like I used to [02:08] Helsinkiii that trick doesn't work anymore. Use a video downloader browser plugin [02:08] covi: you may have to mkdir the directory first because of the -t [02:08] CFHowlett, really? I run Karmic [02:08] moes: try closing the browser and run: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox_old then retry the browser [02:08] urfr332gO, no offense. [02:08] Helsinkiii: use downloadhelper plugin for mozilla [02:09] does somebody here use polipo? [02:09] Helsinkiii there was an infrastructure change which negated the /tmp buffering the video [02:09] !karmic|me [02:09] me: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://ubottu.com/y/karmic for details. [02:09] jason1234, no biggie things get misconstrued at least in my tiny brain. :) [02:09] Helsinkiii consider updating yet? karmic desktop is already end-of-life [02:09] :) [02:09] CFHowlett,probably soon [02:10] * jason1234 continues Heineken [02:10] Chipzzz: so the cp command does not provide the functionality that helps you create dest directories? [02:10] CFHowlett, any tips for a Chromium user? [02:10] is it possible to connect to wpa wifi network via command line?

[02:12] hardware raid is overrated [02:12] jason1234: its worth it, get 1Gb cache on the card and it wil flyyyyy [02:12] covi: i'm not really sure of that and if you're doing a script or something, you can rsync instead... fer sure it creates the directories for you [02:12] Helsinkiii search the chromium addons for a download helper - sorry IDK more as I'm still on firefox [02:12] CoJaBo: what gui option? [02:13] covi: i'm surprised at that... but there's always rsync [02:13] ActionParsnip, bullshit redundancy is better then no redundancy. i just upped from 3Tb's of no redundancy , and i changed my tune when one drive faield that had nothing but bullshit on it. [02:13] Helsinkiii: uget recognises copied URLs. I use fatrat here (on my file server so I can download direct to my file server). There is also jdownloader [02:13] ActionParsnip: networkmanager. wicd doesn't seem to support multiple wifi cards [02:13] Chipzzz: okay. thanks :) [02:13] jason1234: just maintain backups :) === Guest56708 is now known as wildbat [02:13] covi: :-) [02:14] CoJaBo: i see, not had multiple devices in use here. I know there is a cli interface to network manager but i've never used itr [02:14] ActionParsnip, i shutter at the thought of backups. easier to have spare SATA's on hand. [02:14] jason1234: not 'shudder'? [02:14] ActionParsnip, lol yeah, i'm drunk [02:15] ActionParsnip, i could SSD and really push stuff to the limit [02:15] ActionParsnip: its profoundly complicated, apparently, chant find a good guide [02:15] can't [02:15] ActionParsnip, quad quad core CPU's running raid5 SSD's [02:15] * CFHowlett *Friends don't let friends Compute While Drunk* [02:15] that'd be some impressive shit [02:16] CFHowlett, lol or post on the IRC. :) [02:16] i think electrons would be the bottleneck at that point [02:16] jason1234: `not seen the video online of that? [02:16] ActionParsnip, I got a different looking firefox but the crash is still there..firefox version still 10.0.2.. [02:17] jason1234: its SSDs in raid, they copy a file from partition to partition faster than they can throw the dvd box of the window [02:17] moes: what plugin does the content use? [02:19] jason1234: check PM [02:19] ActionParsnip, All plugins disabled...normal uses ice tea and shockwave flash [02:19] Hi, can someone on an x64 system run a test for me before I raise a bug report? I can talk you through the steps [02:20] holy shitballs [02:20] lol [02:20] pretty please with sugar on top? [02:21] bitplane, how involved is it? [02:21] install python if you don't already have it, install one other small package, download a small zip file containing a py file and a html file, unzip it [02:22] run the py file. if it doesn't segfault, I am going insane [02:22] if it does, we have a valid bug that magically fixes itself when you recompile the source. which sucks bigtime [02:22] bitplane: you have to recompile python to fix it? [02:23] Chipzzz: no, no need for the tester to recompile anything. I just want to rule my system out [02:23] moes: shockwave dont own flash now [02:23] now I've recompiled the .so I can't recreate the problem [02:24] ActionParsnip, showing version 11.1 r102 [02:24] moes: yes, thats the latest ADOBE flash [02:24] hi all [02:24] i have a question about vncserver [02:24] help:) [02:24] bitplane do you have that file?

[02:25] bitplane: which .so has to be recompiled to fix it, though? [02:26] HI guys :D [02:26] jameslord: and for what purpose do you use VNC for? [02:26] Chipzzz: the Python module _elementtidy.so [02:26] libtidy.so seems to be fine [02:26] ActionParsnip i don't specify screen, when i start to connect to remote vnc server, i just use ip and port 5901 [02:26] TUX11 greetings [02:27] jameslord: for what reason are you using vnc? [02:27] how is everyone [02:27] can someone direct a text at me?

[02:29] DropsOfSerenity, ugh another poor unity user have you ever used gnome? [02:29] TUX11 you mean disable it so anyone at anytime can install/delete/disable your system with no warning from the built-in protection systems?? [02:29] yup [02:29] All tor traffic over ubuntu by default is over socks5 , is that correct? [02:29] jameslord: gotcha. you need to tell vnc to connect to screen 0 so you get the desktop [02:29] get fed up of putting my password in lol [02:29] bitplane: somehow, i'm not surprised... seems like xms & html parsers accumulate more than their share of problems ;-) [02:29] (xml) [02:29] im new to linux lol [02:29] TUX11: run: sudo -i and you wil get a root console [02:29] bitplane, segmentation fault [02:30] SHOVELL, I've used everything, gentoo, LFS, arch, gnome, kde, lxde, xmonad, awesomewm, fluxbox, openbox, xfce, etc. [02:30] TUX11: if you want to exit it, run: exit [02:30] dtmbmw325i: excellent, thanks a lot :) [02:30] and thats it :o [02:30] DropsOfSerenity, nice [02:30] no problem [02:30] I'll raise it as a bug, thanks for making the world a better place :D [02:30] hello i am new to gnome 3.2 when i right click i dont see create launcher option please help me to create launcher on my desktop [02:30] why cant they just have an button "STOP ANOYING ME LIKE WINDOWS" [02:30] TUX11: yes, the OS runs as user which gives a greater level of security, your user is in a group called 'admin' which allows you to use sudo and gksudo (and kdesu in kde) [02:30] ActionParsnip how to specify that, how to tell vnc to connect to screen 0? [02:31] jameslord: not sure, but thats what you need [02:31] bitplane, no problem. What did I run though? [02:31] how to connect to vnc server scrren 0? [02:31] TUX11: after the OS is setup, you rarely need sudo as you are just using the OS === root is now known as Guest82915 [02:31] ah ok [02:31] xen: just find the program, create a link to it, and drop the link on your desktop [02:31] help please [02:31] jameslord: not wanting to try and find out yourself...? [02:32] well all i use it for is music making [02:32] xen ask ... details [02:32] hi, does anybody know of a peer-2-peer / ip to ip method to do video/audio conferencing with someone else? It doesn't need to be multiple computers, just two, but using ip rather than a server [02:32] dtmbmw325i: It just tries to convert a very simple XHTML document to an XML element tree, it's a cut down version of a website I was trying to parse [02:32] just get sick and tired of putting it in when i use software centre [02:32] is there an easy way [02:32] TUX11, me too!!!

[02:33] ah well use vbox lol [02:33] dtmbmw325i: I'm trying to identify forum software from elements found in the HTML.. but that's irrelevant really, the problem is that some files crash the whole Python interpreter instead of raising a proper exception [02:33] i still use renoise in windows xp :) [02:33] music making under linux lol [02:33] jameslord: sudo vncviewer vnchost:0 may work.. [02:33] TUX11, it has potential but the software is immature. [02:33] not very many options and the VSTI suports a bit naff [02:33] TUX11: well you are doing an admin task, so will need to authenticate [02:34] dtmbmw325i: but when I download the source to python-elementtidy, patch and then recompile it, the problem goes away. This suggests that Ubuntu / Debian's package is corrupt === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [02:34] bitplane, oh okay. I'm glad I could help [02:34] jameslord: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=363236 [02:34] bitplane, why wouldn't it work on 32 bit... different package? [02:34] but thank you guys for the help i stumbled on this channel by accident lol [02:35] dtmbmw325i: yeah I think so, if the 64-bit binary .so is corrupted then it's no use testing the 32-bit binary [02:35] well, there might be, but it doesn't answer the question about it being the system or not [02:36] could be an old bug in gcc or something. I'll file it and forget it I guess [02:36] sweep it under the carpet :D [02:36] okay [02:36] or turn to bill gates lol [02:36] his got his os sorted pmsl [02:36] linux seems to be getting more and more better [02:36] TUX11: its a poor user model [02:36] lol i know [02:37] it's still slightly slow on my celeron D box though w/ 1gig of RAM.

[03:00] sudo shutdown -h now [03:00] :-) [03:03] halp! how do I turn off my computer *sorry buggy irc clint [03:03] relative linux newbie [03:03] Cindy_ sudo shutdown -h now [03:03] Cindy_: "sudo shutdown -P now" [03:03] how do i hard reset my ubuntu 11.10 stuck in 'loading initial ramdisks' [03:03] my laptop is overheating as well... [03:03] no cli [03:03] Unplug the power cord, remove battery [03:03] Cindy_: clic the power icon or the power button [03:03] cant remove battery... [03:04] basically, tried to boot into recovery mode, cant even get there [03:04] Cindy_: alt+PrtScr... R E I S U O [03:04] Cindy_ unplug [03:04] Hi all. I added 'mkdir /mount/C' and 'mount /dev/sda2 /mount/C/' these two lines in my /etc/rc.local file. I expect these commands to be run automatically on startup, but they failed to do so. What's the problem? thanks [03:04] Cindy_: (hold down the alt+PrtScr while entering the rest) [03:05] trying the alt+prntscreen reisuo, but working [03:05] Chipzzz, thought it was busier backwards? [03:06] dtmbmw325i: if memory serves, b reboots, o shuts down [03:06] sorry, wahts the reisuo thing? [03:06] order is alt + printscrn and then r e i s u o individually? [03:06] or together? [03:06] Cindy_ sequentially [03:07] tried that [03:07] Cindy_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [03:07] fasljkdhfalskjdhfaljh sequentially doesnt work [03:07] its hold alt+printscrn and then R E I S U O [03:08] Chipzzz, I can confirm b reboots. Thought that is what you were after sorry [03:08] alt prntscreen b? [03:08] sorry ok, so maybe some context would work [03:09] dtmbmw325i: no problem... either way would have solved the problem :-) [03:09] updated kernel to 3.2.0.2 or summasing like that, wouldnt boot splash page [03:09] the letters are seperate. you don't need to hold each letter [03:09] booted into recovery mode, tried previous kernal 3.0.0.-12-generic [03:09] got to 'loading initial ramdisk ...' [03:09] now fans are stuck off, and copmuter is hot enough to cook an egg on it [03:09] Hmm, 3.2 kernel sounds like the kernel being currently used in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. [03:10] aBound agreed. [03:10] I tried several combinations for r e i s u o [03:10] none work... :( [03:10] Cindy_, What version of Ubuntu are you currently running on? [03:10] Cindy_: that's bad... cooking the cpu can be fatal [03:10] how do I enable Ethernet over USB between ubuntu and toshiba thrive tablet? I want to use rsync to copy all contents of thrive over usb. I have a usb a / usb a male cable connected between the ubuntu laptop and toshiba thrive tablet [03:10] panicking [03:10] 11.10 [03:10] * CFHowlett *ponders is alpha release = safe release" [03:11] Cindy_, How old is the PC and or/laptop? [03:11] 5 days old, samsung series 7? [03:12] i spent like 4 hours last night configuring the install... [03:12] very close to giving up... [03:12] ouch! [03:12] ive uninstalled and reinstalled at least 3 times too [03:12] but right now i dont even care about configuring it, i just need to turn the computer off [03:12] otherwise ill have a $1300 brick [03:12] Cindy_ why can't teh batter come out? [03:13] battery is under screws inside the laptop... [03:13] *the battery* [03:13] http://pastebin.com/FgnNnU20 anyone know hats going on? ive tried apt-get update and --fix-missing syntax [03:13] :O [03:13] Cindy_, The system can't be shut off automatically by using the shut down button? [03:13] Cindy_ given the overheating I'd almost say risk it and get a screwdriver [03:13] previously when it was stuck in purple blank page, I was able to hold the power button down, but for some reason this time the whole system is kaput [03:14] whole machine is unresponsive... [03:14] happily the warranty is > 5 days :-) [03:15] Cindy_, Are you able to get to a terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-F1 or nothing happens? === alexander is now known as Guest59178 [03:15] OH! [03:15] the whole thing turned off [03:15] Cindy_ by itself? [03:15] yeah! [03:16] lasdhgaslkjdh woohoo! [03:16] booting into windows safely now [03:16] I've got a dollar that says it never turns on again ;-) [03:16] ... I'd REALLY suggest you leave it off overnight and let everything chill [03:16] Laptops tend to shut off automatically when the temperature of the CPU temp reaches a high temp. [03:16] Chipzzz I'll double that [03:16] lol [03:16] fan control go! [03:16] anyone has nice links to help with building firefox extensions for ubuntu? :o [03:17] hai [03:17] mrpopo might want to search mozilla development [03:17] whew, that was too exciting and dramatic [03:17] Guest59178 greetings [03:17] More or less it seems certain kernels have certain bugs with specific hardware. [03:17] i think the battery just ran down [03:17] Cindy_ let us hope [03:17] thankfully, ubuntu on this machine uses too much power [03:18] ok, should i risk it again? [03:18] too scared now [03:18] i cant tell if its a kernel issue and how to fix it [03:18] I have 4:51 on my laptop so far [03:19] Cindy_ let it cool - overnight is my advice... [03:19] Wait till the machine cools down and try again later. I'm sure by default your laptop has a warranty placed on it. [03:19] Cindy_ also remove that battery and run from ac [03:19] should i just give up altogether on 11.10? [03:20] Cindy_ generally I suggest there're excellent reasons to stick with LTS releases - 10.4 is the current and 12.4 comes out in April. [03:20] i somewhat need ubuntu soon, but ok [03:21] thanks for the help everyone [03:21] that was a moment of panic but all is well now [03:21] its turned off [03:21] Cindy_ good luck/be safe [03:21] ActionParsnip, Sorry for the delay [03:21] :-) [03:21] Looks like the power regression fix won't land until kernel 3.3 is released. [03:22] CFHowlett yeah that should be a good start :p thx [03:23] mrpopo good luck [03:23] Bring back the arcades. [03:23] Blah! [03:23] ActionParsnip, The problem we're currently trying to fix is we have an ntfs share, the share has permissions 770, however when user test makes a file in that directory, it's chowned to test:test instead of test:groupnumber, so +w is lost on the newly created files. How can you do some sort of umask to fix this? [03:23] Omg that was tl;dr, sorry. [03:24] Is anybody currently on 10.04.4 the last maintenance release is it stable? [03:24] Hello people , does any one used Autodesk Maya on Ubuntu ? [03:24] aBound yes and yes [03:24] The aforementioned nautilus issue still exists, one issue at a time. [03:25] aBound very much so if my ubuntustudio is any indication [03:25] HA! Ubuntustudio surprised people still use it. [03:25] aBound so much so that I feel no compelling urge to immediately upgrade when 12.04 comes out. [03:26] CFHowlett, Sounds like you're kept on the stable train. :P [03:26] Jon--, to make newly created files inherit the owning group of the directory instead of the creating user, you set the sticky bit [03:27] aBound LTS works just fine for me, tyvm ... [03:27] hi, wondering... in links or links2 can you number the links like lynx does? [03:28] CFHowlett, No doubt LTS's are just supported longer so they're much more stable. [03:28] aBound: i have a 10.04 machine but it isn't on right now... it's quite stable, though [03:28] aBound works for me... [03:28] psusi, Don't you have to be the directory owner in order to write to sticky bit directories? That would only work for one group member. [03:28] aBound: We are on 10.04 with Amazon EC2 and have had zero problems. Very stable for us [03:29] psusi, We fixed it [03:29] Jon--, no, the purpose is to have a directory that multiple users can write to ( group or other has +w )... /tmp uses this mode [03:30] psusi, Thank you very much [03:33] Is 10.04.4 running any latest version of Firefox or would I need a PPA? [03:34] aBound: you need a ppa [03:34] Is it me or did Flash just die? [03:35] aBound: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next [03:35] that will get you the very latest [03:35] flash doesnt work the same for me anynmore with fglrx [03:35] !info firefox lucid [03:35] abound noisewaterphd that ppa is no longer required ;) [03:35] firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla.

[03:44] good idea. [03:44] i should try that [03:44] jazzy1: it looks like there's something wrong at the repo [03:44] it's up for me, but that doesn't mean much [03:45] yeah the links are working form what i can tell === adam__ is now known as italys [03:46] Chipzzz: hey man i took a look at the video and im having problems with my vpn :/ [03:46] i went out to the site and downloaded the version i need [03:46] but im confused as to how i can install it [03:46] jeregon: what happened? [03:47] jazzy1: your output does show the repo trying to serve it from cache, maybe the cache has been invalidated and their system out of synch now? that kind of stuff usually works itself out pretty quickly. [03:47] Chipzzz: im not able to connect to the vpn server :/ [03:47] so probably just go ahead and clear the apt cache and restart maybe? [03:47] jazzy1: you got the .deb file? [03:47] Is this the correct forum to ask for help with Lubuntu/Ubuntu LXDE? [03:47] uh its a tar.gz file [03:47] just install it then [03:47] oh [03:48] jeregon: are you running a firewall? [03:48] Chipzzz: the server runs but i cant connect hold on i think i know wht the problem might be [03:48] jazzy1: download the deb file, a deb file will just install easily with the software manager [03:49] I need some help with Ubuntu LXDE if anyone can help or direct me to the correct channel. [03:49] okayill try that, thanks noisewaterphd [03:50] Does anyone here use wicd instead of network manager? [03:52] Chipzzz: brb [03:53] k [03:54] Hello! Does anyone here knows if the pad is working? Because I have been getting an error for the past hours. [03:54] hey guys, quick question here. Any way to modify my ubuntu 11.10 install to launch an alternate program when i type in 'gedit' into the terminal? I have finally found my replacement for gedit, but cannot quit typing gedit into the terminal instead of sublime-text-2. gedit is so much easier to type! I am not sure how to modify these types of settings though. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks! [03:54] bsr, then alias it in .bashrc [03:55] <`korvin> hey, my friend has an ubuntu server I ssh into all the time [03:55] <`korvin> however, when I ssh, I can't use the common key shortcuts, like up for last input [03:55] <`korvin> or tab complete [03:55] <`korvin> how can I enable that functionality? [03:55] awesome, looked up alias, looks like it should do the trick perfectly. Thank you! [03:56] `korvin, what shell are you using when you ssh in [03:56] <_Marcus> What is "Server load"? [03:56] <`korvin> I'm running kubuntu just typing ssh root@server [03:56] <`korvin> I don't know [03:56] _Marcus, the average number of running processes per unit of time [03:57] `korvin, ssh in and type echo $0 [03:57] Quick question. When I try to open wicd-client gui, it opens and then immediately closes. Any suggestions to fix this. I have run wicd-client in the terminal with no error messages.

By light version, I mean something that doesn't have to download things for an hour or so (because of my crappy internet connection) in order to set up things like languages (I really only need one language). I looked into setting up ubuntu from the "mini" version, but it too has to download quite a few things, which basically means I can't use my computer [04:58] you could try running a livecd [04:58] ty ActionParsnip I will give that a try [04:58] I need to do more than just access the internet though, haha. [04:58] escott: For future refernce, in bash the only "special" character in a single quoted string is another single quote. You can literally so '\' would be the literal string containing a backslash character. [04:59] Jordan_U, yeah i usually figure it out when i need to by trial and error [04:59] cool_beans: The mini.iso is the exact opposite of what you want. It downloads everything from the internet. [04:59] hi there [05:00] I am not getting GRUB while system starting [05:00] cool_beans: A standard Ubuntu Desktop iso can install with no internet connection at all. If it starts trying to download language packs hit cancel (or just never connect to the internet from the LiveCD during install). [05:00] I am getting message as INPUT NOT SUPPORTED === Betrayer is now known as Guest27236 [05:01] WHAT I HAVE TO DO FOR INITIATING GRUB ON MY COMPUTER [05:01] nagarajan, that means [05:01] your input is not supported [05:02] !caps | nagarajan [05:02] nagarajan: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [05:02] ok [05:02] How did you get to this point nagarajan? [05:03] jordan_U: I facepalmed :p Thanks! [05:04] cool_beans: You're welcome :) [05:06] is there any PPA to install 3.2.6 kernel? [05:09] Hi I am using Ubuntu 11.10 on a Lenovo Thinkpad and every time I wake from sleep, my screen gets corrupted. Any ideas? [05:09] nirjhor: is there are particular feature in that kernel you need? [05:09] s/are/any/ [05:09] no, it was just upgraded to that [05:09] lunitik: yes, in this kernel my sound driver doesn't work properly [05:09] (or the lateset stable release when I installed it) [05:10] lunitik: so, wanted to try my luck upgrading === Guest27236 is now known as JohnDoe` [05:10] qazokm: What exactly do you see when you try to boot? I assume that this "Input not supported" is actually an error message from your monitor. [05:11] lunitik: so, is there any PPA? :) === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [05:11] Jordan_U, I see my keyboard [05:13] qazokm: That's not a terribly useful description. If you want support you'll have to do better than that. [05:14] nirjhor: no, you can build your own kernel though... debian provides kernel-package to make it a little easier, but I really don't recommend it... there is a wiki page for troubleshooting audio [05:14] !sound [05:14] !audio [05:14] ~audio [05:14] * lunitik stops [05:14] Jordan_U, then I guess im not going to do any better! HOHOHO LOOK BEFORE YOU PING PEOPLE === JohnDoe` is now known as _123_ [05:15] nirjhor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 ... sound is such a frequent issue that it isn't worth it to trouble shoot in the channel [05:16] nirjhor: this is the corresponding wiki page, but the thread looks more helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [05:16] lunitik: thanks man :) [05:16] hello everyone.

[05:17] xtmobo, try in #ubuntuserver [05:17] jameslord: try doing 'touch /home/jack/.Xresources' then running it again [05:17] xtmobo, they have helped me with a lot of server related stuff in there [05:18] thanks let me try. [05:19] nirjhor: we don't support kernels not intended for your release here [05:19] nirjhor: there is a ppa but its not supported here [05:19] ActionParsnip: yet, May I have the PPA? [05:20] * lunitik mumbles something about not being able to find it being a hint [05:20] nirjhor: check pm [05:20] help ctcp [05:20] lunitik ok now:) [05:21] #ubuntuserver there is nobody available to chat. [05:21] nirjhor: Many more issues could arise using an unsupported kernel, I would really recommend troubleshooting your sound instead. [05:21] Hello evry1. Cab someone please explain why "grep "sntnc[0]" butcher.py" is not returning any lines? TIA! [05:21] xtmobo: #ubuntu-server [05:21] lunitik but there is still some problem , the remote window's headline seems broken:( buttons like close are not shown [05:22] jameslord: can you show a screenshot? [05:23] nimbiotics: you probably have to escape the "[" and "]" [05:23] lunitik the headline is black, no icon such as close x is shown:( [05:23] Chipzzz: THX [05:23] :-) [05:24] jameslord: http://imagebin.org/ throw the image there cuz it could be a few things from your description [05:25] Chipzzz: by escape he means do "sntnc\[0\]" [05:25] right [05:25] or else 'sntnc[0]' [05:25] Is there a reason people try and say you cannot customize gnome/unity? It seems pretty customizable to me [05:25] uhh, I meant to point that at nimbiotics [05:26] lunitik: I got it alreadym thx [05:26] lunitik: (not really sure about the second one, though) [05:26] root1they just havent found the gui thats lets you change everything [05:27] root1: take a look at something like openbox config options, or kde even... people don't like that Gnome is targeted at people who like clean interfaces and don't mind something like dconf [05:27] but i still use openbox instead [05:27] lunitik: i see but what is wrong with a clean interface? especially one that you can tweak gui wise [05:27] Gnome is actually more customizable perhaps than KDE, for instance, but the configs are all hidden out of the general UI [05:28] root1: people call it 'dumbing down', it is just a generic complaint [05:28] lunitik: just download gnome-tweak and copy a folder into .themes and thats it lol even for a newbie [05:28] Why are there so many different linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, etc.? [05:28] What does Arch offer that Ubuntu does not, and vice versa? Is it a subjective thing? [05:28] Are there objective reasons? [05:28] cool_beans: cuz people can make linux exactly what they want, and many want to show off what they made [05:29] ahh [05:29] Sigh. [05:29] lunitik: even for a newbie though, just copy a folder into .themes and download gnome-tweak and you're done [05:29] cool_beans: diffr'nt strokes for diffr'nt folks [05:29] cool_beans: i'd ask in #ubuntu-offtopic this is suport only [05:29] cool_beans, a faster system, custom tailored to your own needs, no bloat [05:29] Perfect, sorry bout that! [05:29] I'll ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:29] sorry lagging or something [05:29] DropsOfSerenity: you can get that with ubuntu-minimal [05:30] ActionParsnip, not vanilla packages [05:30] DropsOfSerenity: sure, install minimal then install openbox and slim, no bloat [05:31] ActionParsnip: vanilla means what upstream released... on debian systems there are a lot of patches and the like because debian likes to do things their way [05:31] ActionParsnip, i'm saying the packages on arch are vanilla (no patches applied) and are more up to date, you can get essentially the same system in both, i'm just saying what the differences are. === Kab is now known as kabiigon [05:32] does any know about usb 3 [05:32] lunitik dude, see this pic http://i.imgur.com/JQMtw.png [05:32] Arch is still pretty patch-happy though, their fs is quite different to others [05:32] HI! [05:32] if you want full customizability, use gentoo [05:33] or funtoo [05:33] what does "patch-happy" mean? [05:33] they patch things a lot? [05:33] Why is that a bad thing? [05:33] jameslord: eeek, see, I thought the whole bar was gone... I'm not sure what could have happened there, sorry [05:34] arch's package manager is faster, even for binaries, and they have more community support than gentoo atm, gentoo is still the best for compiling your own USE flags, but arch would probably be the best choice for a binary distro of that philosophy. [05:34] cool_beans: its not, but it isn't vanilla when you patch... [05:34] can you suggest me how can I open image files in picasa photo viewer by default instead of gnome image viewer? [05:34] ahhh [05:35] did you try picasa /pat/to/file [05:35] ? [05:35] This really isn't a discussion for #ubuntu [05:35] mi3: open the properties for the file type you want to change, go to the 'open with' section, and change it [05:36] i need some usb 3 hel [05:36] p [05:36] am i in the right place [05:36] Chipzzz there is no option of picasa photo viewer! [05:37] mi3: no, you have to do it for each file type (.jpg, gif, etc)... just open the properties box for any file of the given type & change it there [05:37] kabiigon: not sure usb3 is in the kernel yet. I'd ask in #ubuntu+1 to see if its in the precise kernel [05:38] mi3: for example, put a jpg on your desktop, right click on it, select properties, and change which program opens it... done for all jpg's [05:39] Chipzzz give me the command to open that file from picasa cos i dont have that option [05:39] k... hang on [05:40] mi3, either picasa or picasa web [05:40] picasa kabligon [05:40] im taling about the command [05:40] mi3: under your choices, there's a button marked "Show other applications".. click that [05:41] mi3: picasa should be in that list [05:42] weird problem just arose. Holding down my backspace key does nothing. If I press it over and over per char I want to delete it works [05:43] Chipzzz I right click on the png/jpg file then select open with other application, then there is no option for picasa however there is custom command option so i guess there must be a command to open it via picasa can you suggest me that command? [05:44] mi3: "select open with other application" is different from opening the properties box, selecting the "open with" tab and clicking the "Show other applications" button === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:44] mi3: ;-) [05:45] yeah yeah i mean open with then open with>other applications [05:45] :) [05:45] picasa isn't in that list either?!? === _123_ is now known as Penggodam [05:47] no it isn,t Chipzzz [05:47] :-( [05:47] sorry *isn't === Betrayer is now known as Guest2859 [05:47] I am asking you 4 the command Chipzzz provide me the custom command [05:48] mi3: the command would be /path/to/picasa %u ... to find the full path to picasa just type "which picasa" [05:49] hi, i can't seem to access a specific site from FF in ubuntu 10.04, but chromium it works fine, as well as on my other computers. any ideas? [05:49] ok let me try that [05:50] where are picasa settings stored in ubuntu Chipzzz? === Betrayer is now known as Guest36254 [05:50] spridel: a popup blocker or noscript suggest themselves as possibilities [05:51] mi3: i don't have it installed, but i'd expect them to be in .config/picasa [05:51] its not there, is it in /usr/bin? [05:52] mi3: sorry ~/.config/picasa [05:52] how to kill program in ubuntu [05:52] ? [05:52] I want to kill libre office [05:52] harsh343: xkill or kill from term [05:52] picasa folder is not there in .config folder Chipzzz [05:52] htop also does a nice job [05:52] office not responding right now T_H_X [05:53] yes xkill [05:53] just hung up [05:53] mi3: you're sure it's installed? [05:54] harsh343: xkill is "weak". You could probably use "killall soffice.bin" from terminal. [05:54] it is installed Chipzzz i just edited one of the images with that a few moments ago! [05:54] zykotick9, what i can do ? [05:54] how ? [05:54] ps aux | grep libre [05:54] killall -9 whatreturned [05:54] harsh343: from a terminal run "killall soffice.bin" [05:55] zykotick9, excellent works thanks dear [05:55] Chipzzz: thanks, looks like i'll add them in one by one and see which one breaks the page, interestingly enough it is only one site === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === Guest36254 is now known as _123_ [05:56] mi3: google tells me they're in ~/.google/picasa === _123_ is now known as Guest23000 [05:57] Chipzzz: i got that folder now?

[05:59] its native [05:59] spridel: that is interesting... which site? [05:59] backtrack-linux.org [06:00] google itself has developed picasa on wine thats why the deb file is a little big [06:00] google itself has developed picasa on wine thats why the deb file is a little big Chipzzz [06:00] mi3: you could try "locate picasa | less" and find them :-) [06:00] mi3 you could try dpkg -L picasa | grep conf [06:01] or dpkg -L picasa | grep oogle [06:01] or that... :-) [06:01] or just look at the whole list from dpkg -L picasa for something that seems logical [06:02] its in a folder called /opt/google [06:02] its in a folder called /opt/google/picasa/3.0 === rymate1234_ is now known as rymate1234 [06:03] nice... locate is more complete... thanks Chipzzz [06:04] spridel: backtrack-linux.org looks good in my firefox with noscript blocking lots of stuff... i don't have chrome installed, though... sorry [06:05] Chipzzz: no worries, think it is interesting that a security disto's site is breaking on SSL handling [06:05] lol... it is :-) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:06] I just installed oneiric, I absolutely *despise* unity and what has happened to the grid plugin in compiz (https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-plugins-main/+bug/878820) Is there an alternative desktop environment that isn't quite so utterly broken? [06:06] Launchpad bug 878820 in compiz-plugins-main (Ubuntu Oneiric) "Window Management, Keyboard shortcut - The grid keybindings are behaving inconsistently" [High,Confirmed] [06:06] i'm pinged those guys, it could be that i have a bad certificate in FF(always possible) [06:06] Etherael1: XFCE, Gnome Shell, Gnome Fallback, KDE, LXDE... [06:06] Can I just rebuild compiz from source and use that and then it won't be so completely screwed? [06:06] so, on my kubuntu laptop, the regulatory domain on my wifi was set to 00, instead of US... i set it to US using "iw reg set US" but will this change be permanent? if not, how do i make it permanent? shouldn't kubuntu be setting it correctly based on the time zone i select? [06:06] Chipzzz, how long are there ? i will be back in 20? can you hang on? [06:07] Chipzzz: thanks again. [06:07] Etherael1: i gather gnome 3 runs nicely on oneiric, but i'm running it with unity and cairo-dock & like it a lot :-) [06:07] What DE is least likely to be broken in future distributions because of ubuntu's continuing pandering to the lowest common denominators? [06:08] mi3: i'll pribably be hanging around... [06:08] sprindel: my pleasure [06:09] Etherael1: XFCE hardly ever changes. It also is a lot similar to Gnome2. If you're a fan of that, try it [06:09] http://pastie.org/3452936 [06:09] Etherael1: Please keep the ranting out of your support questions. You don't need to compile compiz from source to use it without Unity. Unity is a compiz plugin, you can disable / remove it if you want. [06:09] ^ [06:09] Jordan_U: The grid plugin is still useless due to the previously pasted change. [06:09] What command do I use in fdisk to make /dev/sda have a partition start at sector 512? [06:09] and it was a huge part of the way I used to use compiz. [06:10] and by the amount of complaints on that ticket, a lot of other people too. [06:10] http://pastie.org/3452937 [06:10] what ever happened to the good ole days where u setup an ftp server and it just worked lol [06:10] Is there any easy way to optimize my SSD for ubuntu, or am I going to have to read about 10 tutorials and extract the applicable information due to dates of posting? [06:11] I don't even know there is anything else like that available in linux *aside* from the non canonical modified version of compiz grid [06:11] in ubuntu, is it possible to setup a symbolic link that goes to a directory that has certain permissions. but that sym link has ftp permissions, and is able to access files in the other directory? [06:11] cisers if you have an ubuntu support query, ask. Otherwise, stop spamming. [06:12] On 11.04 in which file are the screen resolution settingw recorded? [06:12] Etherael1: If you don't like how Ubuntu is, switch, that's what I say. Though up to you of course. [06:12] acidrain: Symbolic links cannot in any way affect the permissions of their target, if that is what you're asking. [06:13] acidrain: you mean a link with different properties than the folder to which it's linked? [06:13] Chipzzz: yes [06:13] theadmin: I like the reliability of the core and the general strength with which it is put together, the changes in oneiric from a user experience perspective speaking as someone who has actually used a computer before though are utterly devastating. [06:13] interesting question... [06:13] thanks. i would like to setup an ftp server, but i dont want to change permissions on all of these files. though i could do it with a 1 line command [06:14] acidrain: off the top of my head, i would think not, but i could be wrong [06:15] @Etherael1 a window manager rewrite that puts most of the load on the gpu was a great advancement. and I think the user experience is a good start in a new and more productive direction [06:16] @linus, sure, no objection to compositing / acceleration, no real objection even to having a beginner UX that is aimed at people who don't know how to use computers, but breaking a keyboard shortcut plugin at the same time, which let's face facts, idiot users will never even touch, what's the rationale for that? [06:16] acidrain: generally, it's done by making an ftp user & group... setting the file permissions accordingly [06:16] is there any other way of communicating using cURL without POST method? [06:16] Etherael1: Could you pm me? [06:17] which keyboard shortcut are you refering to? I think all mine still work [06:18] xtmobo: curl is highly configurable... type "man curl" to see them all [06:18] And I dont think it is just aimed at newbie. The incorporation of the gnome-do like app launching and displaying of most recent files could deffinitly increase productivity for all users.\ [06:19] hello I'm using kubuntu 11.10 and have a weird issue. I'm trying to use 'jdb' and I get this output. why does this happen? http://paste.ubuntu.com/856200/ [06:19] linus kp+4 / 6 in compiz used to resize windows to 1/3 1/2 2/3 of the screen, it now just does 1/2. [06:19] linus: it was done on purpose https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-plugins-main/+bug/878820 for some totally inexplicable reason. [06:19] Launchpad bug 878820 in compiz-plugins-main (Ubuntu Oneiric) "Window Management, Keyboard shortcut - The grid keybindings are behaving inconsistently" [High,Confirmed] [06:20] installing openjdk-6-jdk solves the issue. [06:22] so, on my kubuntu laptop, the regulatory domain on my wifi was set to 00, instead of US... i set it to US using "iw reg set US" but will this change be permanent? if not, how do i make it permanent? shouldn't kubuntu be setting it correctly based on the time zone i select? [06:24] If I only make one partition on my SSD, doesn't that automatically make it aligned, since gparted makes the start sector 1mb, which is divisible by 512? [06:25] possible1994: you'll probably save yourself some trouble later on if you make separate partitions for "/" and "/home" [06:25] possible1994: if you are using SSD, I suggest you put your web browser cache in tempfs [06:26] where are the settings from display settings saved? [06:26] ActionParsnip, I put a few dir's in tempfs, and changed to the noop scheduler [06:27] I would love to make sure my SSD were aligned properly [06:27] possible1994: adding the mount option: noatime can help too [06:27] Yes I did that, and discard to enable TRIM [06:27] possible1994: moving stuff to tempfs in general is good, less access to slow HDDs [06:28] possible1994: take a look at it in "disk utiity" [06:28] ActionParsnip, If I had a lot of ram, what would prevent me from mounting / to RAM at boot? [06:29] possible1994: you can, its how the liveCD works [06:29] Well, not most livecd's [06:30] It seems to me, that with a lot of ram, and a decent Sata3 SSD, it would be extremely fast to mount everything to ram from the SSD at boot [06:31] possible1994: i tried to do it myself, you'd need to rebuild initramfs at shutdown to put the changes back on the drive === fireball is now known as Guest26380 [06:35] ActionParsnip, can gparted be used to align my SSD properly, or do I need to use something more flexible like fdisk? [06:35] *sigh* why do I always keep losing my flash drives... I swear it was on the table a minute before === Guest26380 is now known as mi3 [06:36] hi Chipzzz you there? [06:37] ohh he left, can someone suggest how can I open my png/jpg files with picasa photo viewer instead of gnome image viewer? [06:38] http://pastie.org/2708457 [06:38] mi3 system>preferences>preferred applications [06:38] cisers please stop [06:39] I can't get ubuntu to properly display foreign characters like japanese. How can I fix this? [06:39] mi3, right click properties -> open with -> set as default, if it's not there show other applications [06:39] CFHowlett: he's doint this on #debian as well [06:39] possible1994: not sure, i've alwas used platter based drives [06:39] Blue1 my vote is kick - but I'm not a mod... [06:40] CFHowlett: ditto [06:40] Blue1: and you, you're having the same issue on both debian and ubuntu [06:40] zykotick9: yes [06:40] CFHowlett tried that option but it directly opens picasa gallery instead of photo viewer , DropsOfSerenity, I looked into that option 1st but that option is not there [06:40] ActionParsnip, You should get an SSD, it makes an incredible difference, but I know you knew that. I'm out anyway take care. [06:40] * CFHowlett *adds cisers to "ignore" for eternity"* [06:41] where are the settings from display settings saved? [06:41] there is no more xorg.conf [06:41] mi3, you are using unity 11.10? [06:41] the settings the xrandr load on startup have to be saved somewhere [06:41] linus: no xorg.conf "by default" [06:41] yeah, my web browsing will be so much different considering its all in RAM which is faster than SSD. Go figure [06:41] linus: just create one [06:41] pc205-net193.mgmt.ucalgary.ca/136.159.193.205 [06:42] I know there is no xorg.conf by default. [06:42] linus: if xorg.conf exists, it will be obeyed [06:42] so when you change the settings where are they saved? [06:42] xorg -config I think... but you want to just know how it is working now? [06:42] might be --config [06:42] cant remember [06:42] there is no xorg.conf [06:42] you dont need it [06:42] linus: there can be [06:42] linus: I do [06:43] DropsOfSerenit, I use natty [gnome classic, no effects] [06:43] * L3top definitely needs it [06:43] lol [06:43] linus: if your monitor doesn't play nice then you will need one to tell the display how to use the hardware [06:43] ok if you are using a propritary driver you need it [06:43] linus: yes proprietary driver [06:44] linus: "06:42 < linus> you dont need it" [06:44] I just want to change the settings xrandr runs when you start a session [06:44] blue1 you wanted kanji characters ?? [06:45] linus: my screen sets DPI at something silly like 2000 x 2000 at 1940x1024 res, makes the text HUGE and the windows controls teeny tiny, so I NEED xorg.conf to set the DPI to someting sane so I can use the OS [06:45] locate xrander ? [06:45] xrandr [06:45] where can i check libre office log files ? [06:45] yes [06:45] ty [06:46] fAz4: possibly in ~/.libreoffice someplace [06:46] CFHowlett: yes [06:46] CFHowlett any suggestions? [06:46] CFHowlett: fwiw - I report cisers to the admin contacts at ucalgary [06:47] Blue1 see http://paste.ubuntu.com/856225/ [06:47] ubuntu logouts while working in libreoffice !!!! [06:47] im in 11.04 [06:47] mi3 suggestions for what? [06:47] fAz4: Does X crash? [06:48] fAz4: Just look at xorg log [06:48] might look around in /var/log fAz4 [06:48] Who is cisers?

[06:48] fAz4: maybe even dmesg [06:48] bobo37773: didnt found anything on dmesg [06:49] cisers, you lost yourself. :) [06:49] fAz4: you mean nothing at all? [06:49] mi3 ah - right. My suggestion didn't pan out. Sorry. Looking into it. [06:49] mi3: does picasa except filenames? from a terminal can you run "picasa /path/to/file"? [06:50] bobo37773: no, about crashes [06:50] fAz4: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:50] mi3 try looking at properties on your jpg and set the opening program to picasa? [06:50] hi [06:50] 各位好 [06:50] fAz4: try closing all libreoffice apps, renaming ~/.libreoffice and retrying the app [06:50] 有中国的么？ [06:50] 呵呵 [06:50] !cn|shan [06:50] shan: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [06:51] ok [06:51] wait let me try that [06:51] ActionParsnip: just while scaling the images, it crashes [06:51] thank you [06:51] !cn|shan [06:51] shan, please see my private message [06:52] CFHowlett: yeah the message about the chinese channel looks like dominoes with numbers just now. [06:52] how to [06:52] fAz4: if you make a new ubuntu user, is it the same? [06:52] Blue1 so my suggestion didn't work? [06:52] ohh man it opens the picasa suite instead of the image viewer CFHowlett! [06:52] shan, copy /join #ubuntu-cn into text box [06:52] CFHowlett: I missed the suggestion. let me scroll back. [06:52] Blue1 fwiw, at least in irc, I see the chinese characters. [06:53] ActionParsnip: yeah, i dont know where find crashes log ! [06:53] thanks rymate1234 [06:53] Blue1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/856225/ [06:53] fAz4: which libreoffice version and which release? [06:53] fAz4: Test with a non compositing (less compositing) window manager if you can. What version of ubuntu are you using? [06:53] ActionParsnip: 11.04 , LibreOffice 3.3.2 [06:54] im on gnome classic with no effect [06:54] fAz4: hmm metacity? no compiz or anything? [06:54] nothing [06:55] fAz4, have you tried updating your office suite? [06:55] CFHowlett: installing now [06:55] mi3: in fact i want to know the reason than solving it ! [06:55] logging out is odd !! [06:55] fAz4: Did you look at your xorg log [06:56] fAz4: i'll post it [06:56] does it crash while opening a specific file or just opening a blank document? fAz4 [06:56] Hi all, anyone here sucessfully using any of the Linux Distro with HP dv4-3015tx with Raedon and Intel Hybrid Graphics technology [06:56] mi3: just on scaling images [06:56] fAz4: could try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [06:57] !jp [06:57] 日本語の場合は /join #ubuntu-jp または /join #kubuntu-jp を入力して下さい。 [06:57] CFHowlett: works great@! 日本語の場合は [06:57] Blue1 looks like kanji to me and I added no software to my ubuntu [06:57] ranjan: amd have said they will not be supporting anything but windows [06:57] ranjan: could try ironhide [06:57] aloha [06:58] CFHowlett: I will add that to pkill-9.com and properly credit you. [06:58] i have a problem =P [06:58] fAz4: May be related to java. I have had quite a few java related crashes in the past [06:58] curiousx: Tell us [06:58] ActionParsnip: where did they say that? D: [06:58] Blue1 sent you a PM special [06:58] bobo37773: not sure, http://paste.ubuntu.com/856232/ [06:58] Hi [06:58] CFHowlett: loved it thanks [06:58] i need help [06:59] blue1 no worries mate [06:59] rymate1234: "http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjM3Mw" [06:59] umm CFHowlett? [06:59] me thinks he is gone [06:59] mi3 yes still no solution to that [06:59] i tried to install the nfs server but no succes, and now i uninstalled it but the nfs modules still loading at boot start =( [06:59] Can i get some help here about "signal out of range" after installing Nvidia drivers [07:00] Anyone????.... [07:00] olol [07:00] ok, will need to stay with the default viewer then but thanks for the time [07:00] y blacklist them in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [07:00] ok, will need to stay with the default viewer then but thanks for the time CFHowlett [07:00] ActionParsnip: ironhide ? what is that? [07:00] ranjan: go find out [07:00] Can i get some help here about "signal out of range" after installing Nvidia drivers [07:01] and i remove any start up link doing: update-rc.d -f nfs-kernel-server remove but the same =P [07:01] mi3 sorry we couldn't config that the way you wanted [07:01] Ubuntu [07:01] fAz4: Nothing that jumps at me there. Which java are you running? Go into the options of libreoffice and disable java completely and see if that avoids the crash [07:01] any idea ? [07:02] its ok CFHowlett maybe image viewer is good for me [for now] thanks for your time [07:02] mi3 have fun/be safe [07:02] yeah thanks [07:02] bobo37773: a good point :) [07:02] fAz4: could disable java, see if it helps [07:02] CFHowlett: Can i get some help about "signal out of range" after installing Nvidia drivers [07:02] bobo37773: ok, thanks for help [07:03] ActionParsnip: Yeah java was crashing my openbox for the longest time [07:03] fAz4: I always disable java in libreoffice as well as give it more ram to work with [07:03] bobo37773: <3 openbox [07:03] i'll check that [07:03] ActionParsnip: i <3 fluxbox =) [07:03] ActionParsnip: Yeah I tried to get away a few times. Looks like I am bonded to it now haha [07:03] Can i get some help here about "signal out of range" after installing Nvidia drivers [07:04] fAz4: Try it and let us know [07:04] ajnabicancer: you may need to run: nvidia-xconfig in root recovery mode [07:04] i like puupy with fluxbox v2 here my own screenshots: http://paste.ubuntu.com/851048/ [07:06] <`Korvin> how can I define the file name in grep [07:06] <`Korvin> I'm trying to only search php files [07:06] curiousx: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png my lxde config [07:06] ActionParsnip: i actually run that command [07:06] ajnabicancer sorry, IDK enough about configuring video to be of any help with synch issues. [07:07] `Korvin: find -iname "*.php" -exec grep foo {} \; [07:07] curiousx: There is a tool called "rconf" (think thats what its called). That is what I used to use in debian. See if it shows up in that tool [07:07] ActionParsnip: Let me tell you what i did, Bcoz i'm newbie. [07:07] or... have any of you nfs working properly ? i follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto but nothing =( [07:07] ajnabicancer: k [07:07] <`Korvin> ActionParsnip, it's --include=*.php [07:07] ActionParsnip looks good... [07:07] ActionParsnip: ill see it [07:07] `Korvin: if grep can do it, why not :) [07:08] bobo37773: rconf ? mmm... il see it thank [07:09] ActionParsnip: after installing Nvidia drivers i got error of signals out of range then i tried some commands to get it back to normal mode. i installed Startup manager and try a trick ALT+CTRL - or + to change resolution [07:09] curiousx: Yeah I needed something easy when building a guiless os for someone a while back. It works well. ncurses if I remember right [07:10] ActionParsnip: Then some editing in lines "grub_cmdline_linux=nomodeset".........blah blah :) [07:10] sudo update grub [07:10] bobo37773: curiousx it's rcconf - but i don't know if you should be using that with ubuntu [07:10] oh! thanks, yeah! i'd see a tool gui based and its PPA but i dont remember where xD [07:11] ActionParsnip: i run this command Nvidia-xconfig and it made a backup file. [07:11] curiousx: There is one called "bum" boot up manager too. [07:11] ajnabicancer: fine, run: reboot does it help [07:12] ActionParsnip: Nope [07:12] i think the all issue is due to my 3.2.5 kernel =(: Linux bt 3.2.5-030205-generic-pae #201202061401 SMP Mon Feb 6 19:19:46 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux [07:12] ajnabicancer: press CTRL+ALT+F1, do you get a prompt [07:12] curiousx: 3,2 kernel is not supported here [07:12] no i didn't try that === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [07:12] ~/.config/monitors.xml [07:12] ActionParsnip: ups! i didnt know it =P [07:13] anyway thanks bobo37773 if i find the tool that i was writing about i'll tell ya xD [07:13] curiousx: using precise? [07:13] ActionParsnip: do i need to try CTRL+ALT+F1 ? [07:13] nop, usin 10.4 Backtrack... yep i know BT is not supported here xD [07:14] curiousx: right again, the kernel isn't suitable for Lucid either [07:14] curiousx: if you know its not supported here, why ask.. [07:14] curiousx: So you are trying to set up a file server on a root box? [07:14] ajnabicancer: wait a little while after you see the messsage and then press it [07:15] bobo37773: yes [07:15] curiousx: backtrack is NOT for daily use, its a network tool. Its not for web browsing and checking your emails withj [07:16] ActionParsnip: That's not really what it's for... it's for pentetration testing. [07:16] curiousx: so whats the problem? should work fine. [07:16] Either way, curiousx, backtrack support is in #backtrack-linux not here [07:16] ActionParsnip i dont agree at all, its comes with a los of servers preinstalled but... maybe you rights xD [07:17] theadmin: does "its a network tool" not cover that? [07:17] curiousx: either way, its not supported here [07:17] ActionParsnip: Well, oh, wait, I didn't notice the "NOT for web browsing" (the not part), sorry [07:18] bobo37773: i dont know why but "nfs-kernel-server" dosent install properly, its say dpkg return code 1 [07:19] and i installed via offical repositories, not PPA or .deb, that the strange [07:20] iand when i do "sudo service nfs-kernel-server start" it never start up, its say "failed" [07:20] curiousx: yeah not sure. I will never use backtrack again probably. There is a good change it is backtrack specific as they do many tweaks to the system. You may want to ask on there irc ir maybe even forums [07:20] i google it but no wey [07:20] ActionParsnip: bro, i used CTRL+ALT+F1 and it sure went to @ubuntu$ [07:20] curiousx: chance* [07:20] how to downgrade kernel? === sun_ is now known as Guest27315 [07:21] NyLes: hold shift at boot and choose the older kernel [07:21] NyLes, you only have one what do you actually mean? [07:21] ajnabicancer: ok then you can run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what is going on. [07:22] bobo37773: yeah! good idea, but its not issue related to BT, when i google it the issue, i found the same issue on Debian, but i'll check no BT channel and forum [07:22] urfr332gO: probably has a few, the old kernels are not removed during upgrades [07:22] Hi all! Where can PATH be set globally, except for /etc/profile and /etc/environment? I installed some software that changed the PATH, but I can't find out where it's set. [07:22] ActionParsnip: i actually don't know what is going on & can' [07:22] Lynx_: /etc/bash.bashrc ? [07:22] ActionParsnip: i actually don't know what is going on & can't figure it. [07:22] Lynx_: did it add it in ~/.bashrc ? [07:22] NyLes: is the older version you want in the repos? why do you want to downgrade anyways? [07:22] ajnabicancer: just look for (ww) and (EE) [07:22] ActionParsnip, thats what I was thinking or they actually want one out of the distro. [07:22] i found on Debian a solution installing "rcpbind" instead of "portmap" [07:22] hello... i've installed ubuntu 11.10 from command line install in alternate-cd. then i installed xorg manually with apt-get . but i cannot boot through grub without the recovery mode.what should i do? [07:23] ActionParsnip: Can i run those command without restarting my pc. i mean can i run it through xp [07:23] they say that portmap doesent support ipv6 but, thanks time to google angain xD [07:23] urfr332gO: i don't understand your question.. [07:23] curiousx: yeah maybe. also check your version in the repos and see if can build a newer version [07:24] bobo37773: because i want to install a ppa that requires 2.6.32-34 kernel and mine has 2.6.32.-38 [07:24] i'll do bobo37773 =) [07:24] NyLes: What is the ppa? [07:24] NyLes, you want a kernel not installed in the release or just a earlier one still on the computer? [07:25] ActionParsnip: Can i check that log with in the windows [07:25] !ppa | bobo37773 [07:25] bobo37773: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

I get it [07:26] NyLes, so what do you mean by download a kernel is the actual question? [07:26] NyLes, I meant downgrade [07:27] urfr332gO: yeah.. from 32-38 to 32-34.. [07:27] NyLes, why? [07:27] theadmin: no, it's not there either, weird. [07:28] NyLes: What is the program or feature that you need? Are you having audio problems? [07:28] Lynx_: Hm... No idea honestly >.< [07:28] ok how do i get this netgear wireless usb adapter to work with 11.10. its the bcm43231 chipset.

Have you tryed updating your kernel instead of downgrading and seeing if maybe the alsa modules you need are built into a newer version [07:30] NyLes, linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.38 20 weeks ago [07:31] urfr332gO: so i cant downlaod it anymore? [07:31] NyLes, I see with a quick look builds for precise I didn't look at what exactlt. [07:31] bobo37773: ok upgrading is fine as long as the sound will work :/ [07:31] NyLes, no that a build was made 20 weeks ago. [07:31] NyLes: Is that something you tried already? [07:32] NyLes: does alsa pick up your sound card at all? [07:33] bobo37773: yeah i think. i tried every article i see but none seems to solve my problem.. [07:33] bobo37773: aplay -l results with no soundcards found, [07:33] bobo37773: but in puppy linux it works smoothly.. [07:33] NyLes: What are the kernel version differences between the two? [07:34] NyLes: Did you try alsaconf ? [07:34] bobo37773: hmmm, with puppy and ubuntu? [07:35] NyLes: yeah [07:35] bobo37773: alsaconf command not found.. ahhh, i don't know? i think it has something to do with how the modules are compiled.. [07:38] I need help "signal out of range" [07:39] NyLes: hmm. You may want to compare your module blacklist settings between the two as well [07:40] !wifi [07:40] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:40] bobo37773: yeah i've done that, nothing is different, one thing different is every boot, ubuntu shows ALSA intel8x0 codec_ready: codec is not ready [0x300000] [07:40] ajnabicancer: Did you look at your xorg.conf to make sure it is set up right? [07:41] bobo37773: i don't know anything? how to do that [07:42] ajnabicancer: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:42] ajnabicancer: Do you have a file located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:43] ajnabicancer: What kind of video card do you have? [07:43] bobo37773: i can't get to that file [07:43] bobo37773: Nvidia [07:43] ajnabicancer: Are you using the closed source drivers? [07:44] which nvidia card/chipset? [07:44] i am using ubuntu [07:44] ajnabicancer: if you run --> sudo nvidia-settings from a terminal does it open a program [07:44] lspci | grep -i vga [07:44] yes it does [07:44] Ajnabicancer, tell your vga card spec. [07:44] sorry... [07:45] ajnabicancer: ok can you create the settings you want there? [07:45] ajnabicancer: Did you install the proprietary driver or are you using the default nouveau? [07:46] I installed nvidia-173 [07:46] soreau: he is using proprietary [07:46] bobo37773: How do you know that? [07:47] soreau: Because he has nvidia-settings application [07:47] i did installed the drivers and not using Nouveau [07:47] ajnabicancer: So what's the problem? [07:47] anyone knows how to see what directory vsftpd uses as root? [07:48] ajnabicancer: second tab down called "X server display configuration" [07:48] brkolog: by default /etc/vsftpd.conf [07:49] ajnabicancer: Make your changes and then click the "Save to X configuration file" button. Then reboot. See if that works. It will create an xorg for you [07:49] brkolog: by default (it would be set within) /etc/vsftpd.conf [07:49] humungulous: thanks, I'll look again, didn't find it in that file before [07:50] how to always run a program in the terminal? (downloaded world of goo, can only play if started in the terminal. [07:50] i just got started to using ubuntu, is there a wayi find my apps? and could sort of group them all together, like shortcuts on desktop? [07:50] trishxo: gnome-terminal -e '/path/to/program' [07:50] trishxo: try using cd in your scipt to launch it [07:50] brkolog: it's probably going to be /var/ftp/ [07:51] Or if there is a folder where they stay... i dunno. I just want to look at them cuz i dont know their names yet [07:51] bobo3773: how to make changes [07:52] bleh, compiz crashed twice in 2 hours on precise [07:52] ajnabicancer: Are your monitors detected?

[07:53] humungulous: I'll try that too [07:53] chown_: which is helpful to find programs, eg: which firefox [07:54] bobo3773: ubuntu was running ok. once i installed drivers i faced resolution drivers, then with someone guide i reinstalled drivers again and the issue is now "signal not found" H:95khz v:60hz [07:54] brkolog: actually https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html says it's /home/ftp/ [07:54] bobo37773: are ALSA and OSS different? [07:54] ajnabicancer: Use nvidia settings to change settings and then save to x config file [07:55] bobo37773: ok, i downloaded world of goo game, there was no installation, i just downloaded the tar file, did a couple command, and the game opened from command. there is a script to start to game in the file. [07:55] NyLes: Yes they are. There is an alsa-oss package though or something similar [07:55] theadmin, had to reboot [07:55] bobo37773: opened from the terminal* [07:56] ajnabicancer: just curious... what lead you to download 175? [07:56] L3top: i mean, if i know the name of the program it gets easy cuz i just hit super and start typing. The problem is if want to look for some function like vnc thing, and i dont know what to type... u know, so i have to get familiar with the applications first [07:56] trishxo: do you run it like this --> ./worldgoo [07:56] no, didnt know how to run it lol [07:56] humungulous: It didn't create the directory, [07:56] no option to run in terminal. [07:56] chown_: unix is a vast ecosystem [07:56] i had a longer command to run it [07:57] bobo:37773 ^... that had that command at the end [07:57] chown_: by all means poke around... I was just saying if you are looking for places to look... which will show you where things live, and from there you can see other things that live there [07:57] brkolog: you can always create it yourself and change it to whatever you want, i suppose [07:57] trishxo: Why not install World of Goo from Ubuntu Software Center? [07:57] humungulous: local access worked but another machine didn't list any files, I'll try again [07:57] trishxo: this^^ [07:57] humungulous: yes, I did create i [07:58] bobo37773: do you think using oss instead of alsa will solve my problem? [07:58] humungulous: maybe it's the client (explorer) [07:58] NyLes: hard to say. I doubt it. How old is your soundcard / computer? [07:59] NyLes: did you compare the module blacklist / kernel version difference beteen puppy and ubuntu? What was the results [07:59] brkolog: absent some (mis)configuration you should see the same dir contents ftping in with the same credentials from any posture [07:59] need some help installing chameleon on ubuntu please anyone? [08:00] need to boot osx on legacy kernel [08:00] bobo37773: more than 10 years old, soundcard is Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 05) [08:00] grub doesnt accept kernel commands for osx [08:00] bobo37773: they are the same, nothing is different, even the punctuations.. [08:01] onasis: We don't support hackintoshing here, sorry. [08:01] What the solution? [08:01] NyLes: Do you have alsa-utils installed? [08:01] im not asking about hackintosh [08:01] im asking about installing chameleon on ubuntu [08:02] I cannot get into ubuntu, but i only now can get into terminal via CTRL+ALT+F1 [08:02] onasis: That's the only reason I know of to use chamaelion. Either way, chameleon is not in the Ubuntu repositories, maybe you can get support through chameleon's support venues. [08:03] bobo37773: how will i know? [08:03] ajnabicancer: from creating an xorg? [08:03] NyLes: Look in your repos and see if its installed. Software center apt whatever [08:03] bobo37773: plz tell me the commands, so i can get some solution? [08:03] ok well fair enough [08:04] ajnabicancer: try this: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot [08:04] bobo37773: ok i have it.. [08:04] NyLes: it was installed already? [08:04] bobo37773: yeah...

[08:08] bobo37773: yeah command not found it says.. [08:08] i created such a directory before in pureadmin too humungulous [08:08] brkolog: who are you ftping in as [08:08] chown_: "pkill appname" is easier. [08:09] Jordan_U: ty [08:09] chown_: You're welcome. [08:09] NyLes: your right. Apparently ubuntu does not have alsaconf. What a drag. Sorry. [08:10] bobo37773: ok thanks for the time.. [08:10] the remote machine uses another user humungulous , but in filezilla i used the local user i use in ubuntu [08:11] humungulous: [08:11] brkolog: you can create an ftp user with homedir /home/ftp [08:12] humungulous: windows seems to screw up though, doesn't ask me for credentials just shows an empty ftp server [08:12] brkolog: browser's ftp mode generally logs in as anonymous [08:12] humungulous:i [08:13] brkolog: if you want a cleaner test from windows do it from the command line [08:13] i enabled anonymous too [08:13] so thats whats happening [08:13] the browser tries anonymous first, it works, so it doesnt prompt you for further credentials [08:14] oh never tried cli in windows, I thought there was no such client in windows [08:14] sure just ftp hostname [08:16] hi. I have a cable modem, and an adsl modem on top of that to enhance wireless range. but I don't remember its IP address and I can't seem to find out by nmap. what else to do? [08:16] windows command line ftp is a piece of garbage [08:16] testing is just about the only thing its good for [08:16] lucky for you thats all youre doing [08:16] for real ftp work use filezilla [08:17] Kartagis: you mean you have a modem and a router [08:18] humungulous: it seems to work, it shows my homedir in ubuntu, humungulous . I just need one file, but filezilla downloaded at 50kb/s. That could be a Virtualbox issue, those are both virtual machines. :P [08:18] anyone can recommend me a good image viewer like gnome viewer but with the basic tools for resize crop ... ? [08:19] bambanx: google gimp [08:19] humungulous: yes, exactly [08:20] Kartagis: the router IP is the one reported as gateway by ifconfig [08:20] humungulous, i know gimp thanks , but i mean a lightweigth viewer with only the basic like shotwell [08:20] bambanx: dunno [08:20] ok [08:20] Kartagis: make that "route -n" [08:21] humungulous: I have no trouble finding out the IP of the cable modem, it's the adsl modem of which I can't find the IP [08:21] oh [08:21] well, sometimes its .100 [08:22] sometimes its .1.1 [08:22] sometimes you cant route it, it depends on how the router feels right then [08:22] Kartagis: try just connecting the other modem, if dhcp is working, you can find it [08:23] what about nmap? [08:23] or look at the client map of the first mothem [08:23] Kartagis: are you saying youre doing double nested NAT? thats bad architecting [08:23] can work though :) [08:24] hexanat [08:27] humungulous, gthmb works great :) [08:27] gthumb* [08:27] bambanx, alright [08:27] hey guys i was installing sth with dpkg -i and in middle of the installation i Ctrl+c the process now it gives me error how can i fix this?

[08:43] 173 [08:43] oh I think it was 175 that crashed the machine [08:43] what is installed currently? [08:44] and how was it installed? [08:44] 10.04LTS [08:44] fresh clean install [08:44] humungulous: I don't know. THere were a few strange occurances right around the USB3. [08:44] reading the bug reports I'm not the only one having these issues [08:45] Sorry, so nvidia 173 is installed from... nvidia? or ubuntu? [08:45] Ubuntu [08:45] the one that i noticed immediately is that I had selected the usb3 device in the disk utility to edit the partitions, and it came up trying to edit the md0 [08:45] on 10.04 [08:45] and you achieved this by typing apt-get install nvidia-glx-173 correct? [08:45] raid is the illusion of failproofness with the reality of fragility [08:46] once it did that, I restarted. I later learned that had I not, I could have kept the partition table that was in the kernel, but I wouldn't have had a place to put the backups since it wasn't recognizing the usb3 properly [08:46] the card in question is built into my Sony VGC-V2M All-in-One media PC [08:46] GeForceFX 5700 [08:46] humungulous: however - photorec seems to be happily pulling files off even though testdisk was unable to do anything with the partitions :S [08:46] humungulous: i simply told photorec that it was an ext3 file system, and it's scanning it now [08:46] doc: good, wait until you get to sift through the 18,000 files it pulls [08:46] I installed the driver in 10.04 using the hardware drivers [08:47] under the GUI [08:47] it runs a dream in 10.04 [08:48] humungulous: indeed. But I believe there's only a few I'll actually be looking for (some homework assignments) [08:48] but when it comes to 11.04 & 11.10 it just either displays a grey screen and a cutout where Unity is, or crashes when I install the latest driver [08:48] doc: they're going to be numbered arbitrarily and grouped by file type [08:48] humungulous: is there a way to tell it to make a new ext3 partition the entire size of the raid, but not mess with the data inside and see if any of the file headers come up properly? [08:48] humungulous: yea - i'm watching the stuff it's pulling out [08:48] hello guys [08:49] doc: no, a new volume gets a new mft [08:49] doc: well you can try and see [08:49] doc: at this point nothing to lose [08:50] if I install the nVidia driver under Hardware Drivers in 11.04 or 11.10 it comes up with Driver is installed but being used by another [08:50] doc: do it with fdisk but do not mke2fs [08:51] !ask | cybot [08:51] cybot: 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).

That way I could see which of the files I recovered exist in my backup [08:52] cybot: try #ubuntu-arm [08:53] thanks [08:53] doc-saintly: there are tools to dedupe what it pulls out [08:53] humungulous: how could there be duplicates? [08:53] the logic is very uh loose [08:53] so any help in getting the GeForce FX5700 running in later distro's of Ubuntu would be great [08:54] it recognizes a lot of file fragments youll see [08:54] humungulous: it seems it would be trivial to compare, say the first 1kb, of every file recovered vs. a directory structure. Since you would only have to look at the file type and then look at the size, and then the first kb [08:54] Hi. Here's a few questions about raid maintenance. A few months ago, I assembled a raid5 (ext4) array; so far, everything is fine but I noticed that my scheduled fsck (at boot) usually run really fast so I suspected that the array wasn't really checked. Just to make sure, I launched gnome's disk utility, unmounted the array and checked the file system and then got a popup saying that the file system is not clean. I then launched the [08:54] "check array" task and now it's been running for a good 30 minutes with the md0_resync and md0_raid5 processes taking a good 50% cpu. So about this, my questions are: since my array seemed to behave correctly before that, are those checks necessary? And if so, what are the checks and repair operations that disk utility is really using in the backend (so that I could schedule them on a weekly basis) - in the end, I wish to ensure that if [08:54] there's a disk failure someday, that I really can recover and won't be troubled by a corrupted filesystem. [08:54] Strav: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:54] doc: there is a tool i used for dedupe i just dont remember what it was called [08:58] (just to make it clear: it's the "check the filesystem" that reported that it "wasn't clean" (I guess this is gnome disk utility launching an fsck on the array); the actual repair operation is done by "check array") [09:03] Hey everyone. [09:03] can someone analyze my problem with my soundcard? http://paste.ubuntu.com/856301 [09:04] Is there someone who can explain to me the benefit of rooting an android tablet other then sudo capabilities [09:05] azbam117, installing a differnt os/rom [09:06] azbam117, there really is not a whole lot of benefits unless you really want to dig deep into the os [09:07] NyLes, looks like there is an issue with intel8x0 driver, tried pulseaudio etc, no sound?

[09:09] so is there a workaround [09:10] Vitamin{ Thats kind of what i thought. Another noob question...what kimf of os would you put on a tablet such as a prime? [09:10] NyLes, i see, check which modules are loaded with puppy and if it is using alsa or some other backends [09:10] i was going to suggest knoppix too to see...(: [09:11] akem: puppy uses alsa,.. what do you mean the modules?

[11:43] !sudoroot [11:43] And yes, I am familar with the !root factoid. ;) [11:43] CharminTheMoose: Ubuntu doesn't officially support setting the root password. If you do that, you're no longer eglible to receive support from this channel, Ubuntu forums, etc. [11:43] CharminTheMoose: enabling root password is not supported and may cause all kinds of issues. Besides that, try gksudo, and don't use the -u root [11:43] CharminTheMoose: And yeah, use sudo/gksudo. They make much more sense than plain su alternatives of theirs. [11:44] helloo everyone . can i start rdp service on a remote win machine? [11:45] MimosakaRyou: Windows support is in ##windows , not here [11:45] Well yes, but this breaks gksu as it uses su authentication mode by default which is broken. [11:45] So how can I change gksu to use sudo? [11:45] CharminTheMoose: gksudo xedit [11:45] CharminTheMoose: Use gksudo. Or open "gksu-properties" and tell it to use sudo through that. That way, both gksu and gksudo will act the same [11:46] i mean from my machine [11:46] theadmin, hmm yeah, I tried using gksu-properties, but the settings aren't saved on a dbusless chroot of 11.04. :/ [11:46] MimosakaRyou: This is still a Windows issue. I don't honestly thing it's possible unless you have some other means of accessing the desktop remotely [11:47] i see i see [11:47] thanks [11:47] CharminTheMoose: Ouch... Using desktop environments without dbus is generally a bad idea [11:47] so uh, anyone on the dockbarx thing? [11:48] I can re-say the question if necessary, but it was quite long [11:48] meh, I guess I'll ask in a few hours when the US wakes up [11:48] lahwran: Have some patience (might need to wait several minutes, even hours before you get an answer. Repeating the question every 15 minutes or so is okay), and try asking the forums while you wait [11:48] theadmin, it's not a full blown DE, just that stuff like gksu which AptUrl uses is by default in, ah, 'su' mode. *cough* [11:49] CharminTheMoose: That's weird, since if I recall right, gksu by *default* actually uses the sudo mode in Ubuntu, but then again it might act strangely because of lack of dbus [11:50] hi, my wlan is instable under ubuntu 11.10 (10-30s lags every 5-10min). i'm using Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN. i already disabled the wlan-n-modus. no improvement. any suggestions?

As in, was it installed as a dependency of something else, or installed manually? [11:51] From the command line btw, not in synaptic / software-centre.

[11:52] * CharminTheMoose is using the chroot for building a livecd [11:52] CharminTheMoose: Probably, I'm not into chroots, sorry about that.

Also, if I recall right, the default Ubuntu's remote desktop tool uses VNC, not RDP [11:56] rdesktop is a very simple and easy to use remote desktop app [11:57] ive only used vnc and teamviewer. :) been trying splashtop. but cen never get it to work over the internet. local lan works.

What's blocking it? [11:59] guys cifs and smb is the same thing? [11:59] chown_: Pretty much [11:59] cifs is also used for NFS [12:00] CharminTheMoose: I think gksu as well as gksudo relies heavily on dbus to perform the authorisation, so if you don't have that it will fail... It's just a wild guess, but something makes me think that's the case. === srini is now known as sai [12:01] theadmin, well, I was trying this out from the chroot-as-livecd, which starts up dbus and such.

[12:42] R4ndZ, ubuntu support question? [12:42] Dr_willis, theadmin: hmm let me check [12:43] bazhang: no [12:43] Dr_willis, ah.. ok. [12:43] > is the 'continue entering more info' prompt. (for lack of better terms) :) [12:43] ${$file/\.flv/\.mkv} != ${file/\.flv/\.mkv} [12:43] instead of video i want make the dvd of software with menus , sub-menu and with great background thumnails ! [12:44] santoshmuk, i use devede to create dvd video disks with menus and stuff. [12:44] Dr_willis: The better term is $PS2 :P What'd describe it is "the command is not finished. FINISH IT!" [12:44] lol [12:44] theadmin: was missing the closing brace but this time I got "bash: ${$file/\.flv/\.mkv}: bad substitution" [12:44] theadmin, what does my Sony Playstation 2 have to do with it? ;) [12:44] somethinginteres: use ${file/\.flv/\.mkv} [12:44] Dr_willis: You know $PS1 is the main prompt? $PS2 is the secondary prompt [12:44] but i want to do same for application ! [12:45] theadmin, the bash prompt howto ;) is so much fun to read. [12:45] haha [12:45] Dr_willis: Except when you use ZSh.

Version 1.23.1-2 (oneiric), package size 786 kB, installed size 3840 kB [12:45] Hi! Does anyone know how to enable Video Chat withi Pidgin ? I've just installed Pidgin. And, my webcam works with Cheese etc. [12:45] I was using fish for a while. :) had some neat features. [12:45] Dr_willis: Tried that, meh, didn't quite like it [12:46] dtf: Pidgin does videochat ONLY on XMPP/Jabber/Gtalk. No other protocols are supported for that yet [12:46] Tabs take ages to load in all browsers (Chromium, Firefox tested), even when I run a local caching dns. Even when they seem finished (page rendered) they're still loading, and other tabs won't start until enough of the first batch have finished. What could cause this? [12:46] 11.10 [12:46] theadmin: so, does that mean i have to get XMPP in addition to pidgin? [12:47] I have asus a43s system, touchpad stops working sometime and the only solution is to restart the system, any help ? [12:47] dtf: XMPP is a protocol, not a program or anything... you'd need to get an XMPP account I guess... [12:47] R4ndZ: that worked. Thanks. [12:47] somethinginteres: np [12:48] dabbu: When it stops working, try entering 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse resetafter=10' in a terminal [12:48] theadmin: i'll check that right nw [12:48] dtf: Or just get a client which supports video chats on your network. You know, having every friend of yours switch to XMPP can be hard. [12:49] zorael any permanent solution [12:49] i need to organise photos on my iPhone into albums using Ubuntu. Is possible? [12:49] theadmin: so, this mean that my friend (on Windows machine using MSN Live Messenger) will not be able to video chat with me? [12:50] dtf: Not with Pidgin, yes. Try amsn, it does video chats on MSN [12:50] Is this code correct? ~/Downloads$ md5sum "linuxmint-12-gnome-cd-nocodecs-64bit.iso" [12:50] hey. did anyone successfully install Wunderlist on 11.1?

This is the error - bash: /home/byron/Downloads$: No such file or directory [12:52] BlueWolf: You're not supposed to type the "~/Downloads$" part... [12:52] BlueWolf: It's meant to represent your prompt [12:53] dabbu: If it works, create a file like '/etc/modprobe.d/touchpad-fix.conf' with the contents 'options psmouse resetafter=10' [12:53] BlueWolf: md5sum ~/Downloads/linuxmint-12-gnome-cd-nocodecs-64bit.iso # Try this [12:53] zoreal :ok, i will have to wait till it stops working again :) [12:54] is it just me or is ubuntu getting slower and slower?

[12:56] BlueWolf: Hint: if you use the torrent downloads, you don't have to check the files, because your torrent client will handle that for you ;) [12:57] theadmin: I have forgotten how to do that too. Ok thanks for your help hey. It's not really Mint help as I am asking Ubuntu questions, but ya will do..... :D [12:57] how come i can only see one core in ubuntu? i tried acpi=off acpi=force noapic nolapic and even installed mainland kernels 3.3 and 3.2 but nothing works [12:57] BlueWolf: Meh you asked me the right checksum of the MINT iso, how is that an Ubuntu question xD [12:58] which is better backtrack or ubuntu ? [12:58] santoshmuk: That's a silly question. Backtrack is intended for security testing. Ubuntu is intended for regular desktop use. [12:59] and that is why i donot understand backtrack is at top ranking ? [13:00] theadmin: ha ha, It's an iso in Ubuntu.. So I just download the torrent from the same page right? I actually needed to download it through firefox because my internet is very slow and I need downloaded quite fast. :D [13:01] santoshmuk: *sigh* They're intended for different purposes. Which is better - an apple or a shovel? :/ [13:01] a shovel, hands down [13:02] i donot know u tell me which is better window or ubuntu ? [13:02] theadmin: Hey thanks for the help. :D [13:02] santoshmuk: *sigh* you keep asking the same thing, it's got NO ANSWER, there's no "better" when you compare entirely different things. Also, this is not a support question and is therefore highly offtopic [13:03] BlueWolf: No problem.

[13:04] moes: I don't even use Firefox, why you ask me? lol [13:04] theadmin: Oh ya by the way, I am going to use Brasero to burn the operating system, what speed should I burn it at, 4.0? [13:04] BlueWolf: The lowest you can is good practice [13:04] theadmin, On a chance you might help ..but thanks anyway [13:04] ONE core issue on ubuntu, is there anyone who can help?! [13:04] ok then plz tell me how i can make a dvd of application ? [13:05] santoshmuk: This doesn't make sense... Just burn it as data... [13:05] ! ask | malin_ [13:05] malin_: Just ask the question first. [13:05] malin_: 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).

And if you want to run it on Windows, it's got nothing to do with Ubuntu. [13:07] thank you anonisnaas [13:08] no probs malin_ , hope someone can help. [13:08] theadmin: The lowest is 8.0*(CD) - Burning speed. It is the slowest right? I can believe I have forgotten the simple things.... [13:08] but i want to sell the application of window by making dvd and earn some money ! [13:09] BlueWolf: Well it doesn't *really* matter, just burn it at the lowest you find [13:09] santoshmuk: what are you trying to accomplish? [13:09] BlueWolf, you will find the lowest speed in the brasero options. [13:09] theadmin: OK thanks Man!!!! :D [13:09] malin_: As per https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=797335#p797335 "pci=nommconf might be worth testing as well... [13:10] BlueWolf: "man" doesn't apply to me, but whatever. No problem. [13:10] arand: i will try that one also [13:10] i mean to say that i will download essential appliction of window and sell it to my friend and whoever need it ! [13:11] santoshmuk: Selling pirated software is not a way to 'earn' money [13:11] santoshmuk: You know that's illegal right -_- [13:11] theadmin: :-( Figure of speech. Thanks any way. [13:11] lemme say i have a few comands i would like to execute at the login time, how would i separate those commands at a text file? [13:11] so plz tell me how i can write installer !

[13:12] ggggottto: That's irrelevant to ubuntu. Try #windows [13:12] how do I remove Videos from Places/Favoriets [13:13] santoshmuk: Why would you sell someone else's work? Also, how does this have anything to do with ubuntu? [13:13] hi, most pdf ebooks around have menus and they have real text instead of text in images. How do people do them? Some kind of OCR software? I heard OCR often causes formatting problems and errors, but these books don't seem to have any problems at all. Can this be done in ubuntu?

[13:16] I consider to do a LVM-encryption but I wanna know how hard it is to recover my system in case it crash if it is encrypted [13:16] chown_: You can't really do that, except authorizing sudo to run that command without password [13:16] would any body help me to make a installer ? [13:16] chown_: after the first time you've done sudo, the second onwards won't be prompting you for password [13:17] phpn00b: Something is wrong then [13:17] chown_: i believe it's only good for the session. meaning, if you close and reopen terminal, it iwll prompt you for password [13:17] santoshmuk: not for Windows. [13:17] LjL, maybe... I just got the impression that there are even old or rare books that are well formatted, which probably don't even exist as pdf for sale. I don't know... But if that's true, then I guess a good OCR software is the only way to go [13:17] nullucas: well, open-source OCR software around is not especially good [13:18] ok bro ! [13:21] do you use Lubuntu?

[13:51] soreau: i don't know anything about commands and packages [13:52] ajnabicancer: It's pretty easy to install the driver from repos after you install ubuntu.. you just use the graphical installer it prompts you [13:52] wondering: ask the makers of your dock.

[15:43] w1jp, thanks for your reply. but i don't quite get it. for other group, if i am in the group and files are group readable, I can read them fine. why root group is different? [15:43] sgo11: better to create a new group like "www-editors", chgrp of all of those files, give appropriate permissions for the group with chown, and then add your user to that group. Or, just use sudo [15:44] is there a tool / way with or without GUI to see scancodes sent by a keyboard the moment you press a key? [15:44] any help related to my issue? [15:44] jrib, use sudo to edit files is fine. but since they are not readable anymore. sudo ls gives me headache. sudo cd will not work. so.. [15:45] luke--_: xev? [15:45] sgo11: you can obtain a root shell with « sudo -i » if you really don't want to create a groupc for your www files [15:45] sgo11: "sudo cd foo" will never work if it's root only [15:46] @sgo11 you just need to make sure you are part of that group. Then change your active gid via "newgrp the new group" [15:46] zykotick9: seems good, thank you! [15:46] jrib, sudo -i is an option. I am doing it right now. just feel not safe. afraid I will type rm -rf / by accident. :) [15:47] kinglet: ajnabicancer: & others: here is an overview from debian: http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting#nVidia_GfxCards ... will find you the driver dox that describe the available config settings....

I tried /etc/init.d/networking start but no connection [16:51] chipzzz check your privates [16:51] riad_shourov: the "upgrade/update" issue is when you go from say 11.10 to 12.04 type thing. Regular system upgdate will be fine without ubuntu-desktop. [16:51] (at this stage) [16:51] Canadian1296, I wanna get ubuntu to boot so that I can format a flash drive (that was formatted in ext2), because I have tried installing Ubuntu 10.10, and the latest one (made the pendrive bootable with Universal USB installer), and I always get [16:52] Canadian1296, I always get boot error * [16:52] zykotick9: ok ... it is not my problem then :) .. but can a system works fine with gdm or lighdm like apps? [16:53] riad_shourov: without? [16:53] zykotick9: sorry ..without gdm [16:53] Patrunjel: I've never used Universal USB installer. Try unetbootin, since I know it works. [16:53] ubuntu-guy, run this in the terminal, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up , then , sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid [16:53] riad_shourov: sure! my netbook is without gdm/lightdm - WARNING: network-manager might have issues!!! [16:53] Patrunjel, format flash drive to FAT32 [16:54] ubuntu-guy, asuming your wlan = 0 [16:54] Canadian1296, thanks for the tip. I will try it in a moment (I'm trying to get puppy on the pendrive now, to see if the problem is only for Ubuntu) === d is now known as Guest21585 [16:54] Patrunjel: I know unetbootin works with ubuntu, and it claims to work with lots of other linux distro's too. [16:55] can't go wrong with Unetbootin lol [16:55] zykotick9: i have network-manager-cli... i am even in console now...but i cannot run startx ( i have only 'exec ratpoison &' in my .xinitrc file) [16:55] Sup bazhang [16:55] riad_shourov: the n-m issues will affect n-m-cli as well :( [16:55] my yakuake seems to be frozen.. is there a way to reset it? [16:55] riad_shourov: n-m requires a DM to use wireless! [16:55] any tips on why my ntfs hd all of the sudden is read-only? I've been using it no problem since installation. [16:55] BluesKaj, did it by "netroot" [16:56] popey, how can i disable lightdm? [16:56] radioact1ve, if it wasnt unmounted cleanly, the filesystem might be dirty and wont mount rw [16:56] radioact1ve, you might need to run fsck.ntfs on it [16:57] riad_shourov: i rely on wicd-curses (and wicd is probably going to be depricated soon i hear) [16:57] damo22: interesting, how could that have happened? [16:57] zykotick9: you mean...if i run x without dm , my network will not work?? otherwise... i dont have any dm ..but my network is on [16:57] radioact1ve, usually by unplugging a usb drive without unmounting [16:58] riad_shourov: yes. try it but it's a bug that's not easily resolved (it comes from ubuntu's upstream) [16:58] damo22, its an internal hdd. [16:58] riad_shourov: wireless only. n-m can still to wired stuff! [16:58] radioact1ve, in that case it didnt unmount properly last shutdown [16:59] damo22, could it have been something I did or some random act? [16:59] riad_shourov, How far? [16:59] ubuntu-guy, netroot ? ...never heard of that approach [16:59] radioact1ve, usually human error [17:00] zykotick9: i have wimax..what should i put into? i didnt get it out of the box..when i installed ubuntu..now my network in eth1 ( its probably wired, i think??) [17:00] BluesKaj, It has in Recovery mode which start with networking [17:00] riad_shourov: that, i have no idea about :| [17:00] Hi guys. I have just recovered my damaged partition table with testdisk, but the swap partitions are not loaded succesfully. Is it safe to [17:00] delete and re create them? [17:01] riad_shourov: does it require a login username and password to use? [17:01] ubuntu-guy: stuck yet :) .. but i don't have any problem with console :P [17:01] zykotick9: no [17:01] riad_shourov: it will probably be ok with N-M then! [17:02] riad_shourov, PM? [17:02] zykotick9: sorry..actually yes...but its in a script file ..which i run from terminal [17:03] What does the DNS server option do when installing ubuntu server? [17:04] riad_shourov: ;) sorry, not sure again. Try N-M for sure! But if it looks like it's working - but can't connect... you might know why. Best of luck man! If you're into terminal stuff, I hope you use screen (it's got thousands of amazing features) [17:04] Canadian1296: I assume it installs Bind [17:04] hi guys [17:04] ubuntu-guy: well... i am in irssi chat..this is the first time i am using it... you can try, but i dunno how pm works here :) [17:04] Canadian1296, is it asking you if you want to install a DNS server or what your DNS server is? [17:04] What's that command again to force ubuntu to always start in a certain resolution? I remember i had to create a file or so? [17:05] sapppppppnin [17:05] riad_shourov, I mean Private Message [17:05] VIPER-II: what graphics card? [17:05] ati [17:05] Is there a way to try Unity2D via live CD? [17:05] raido: Which does? I know what a DNS server is, I just don't see how it would work to be your own DNS server... === CiDhed_ is now known as CiD|afk [17:05] zykotick9: yeah. :D not in screen ..but i am in tmux [17:05] erebus_, swap partitions have no data so you can recreate them or just run mkswap on the partition [17:05] escott: No, its to install a DNS server, I've just never used it. [17:05] !help [17:05] 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 [17:06] riad_shourov: i haven't played with tmux (i should give it a try) [17:06] Canadian1296: if you dont see how it will benefit you when your installing "server" version, then it wont, so dont check it. [17:06] can sum1 provide ubuntu help page again [17:06] Canadian1296, if the machine were a router then it being a DNS server would be sensible [17:06] im on my notbook now [17:06] this is awesome [17:06] ubuntu-guy: its good... i can run video in tmux in console (yeay!!) [17:06] escott yeah i know but I have 4boot laptop (2 ubuntu, debian, windows) and the labels are changed after the testdisk [17:06] escott: Oh, okay that makes more sense. Thanks :) [17:07] ubuntu-guy: yes...pm plz... lets see how it works in irssi [17:07] escott, so the labels of /dev/sda* are changed. What I must do? In /etc/fstab are the old names [17:07] So I have 3 ext partitions, one windows, one recovery and 3 swaps:P [17:07] riad_shourov: video in console? do you know if it's using framebuffer or vga? real question, does it require sudo to run? [17:07] erebus_, you may have to clean up a few things to make the uuids of the swap partitions match up between the three linux systems. sudo blkid will give you the new uuids [17:07] hi, I just installed ubuntu (11.10) and I ubuntu refuse to use my .xsessions file. How can I force it to use my file ? [17:08] erebus_, why do you have three swaps? unless you want to be able to hibernate each of the three oses independently there is no use [17:08] hello ppl :D [17:08] Hello, I am using Ubuntu 11.10 - amd64. I have noticed that after I suspend my laptop and wake if back up, the fan starts being noisy. It never stops. Works fine after the boot. Why is that? [17:08] escott, yeah I have already got the new uids, but I dont know which swap partitions is for each distro. Is that a prob? [17:08] zykotick9: when i first installed ubuntu-cli 11.10, i didnt have xorg then, so i tried with vga [17:08] escott, exactly in order to hibernate :-) [17:09] escott, I dont know which swap is for the distros. In system monitor it says 0 used and 0 size of the swap. (free -m too) [17:09] quit [17:09] btw, ubuntu could use a dynamic hibernation file, instead of using swap area [17:09] erebus_, i would just reassign them in some order (any order will do) and you may need to update-initramfs afterwards on each system [17:09] its insane I need a 5 gig swap area on my ssd [17:09] hmmm so escott there is no need to recreate them? [17:10] I have updated the each /etc/fstab with no luck. so I must update the initramfs kernel? [17:10] erebus_, so it sounds like the thing to do is run mkswap on each partition, and then pick some assignment of swap to os, and update each fstab, and run update-initramfs on each system in turn [17:10] Ill be back later [17:10] is it possible to move a ubuntu install to another drive and erase the old drive? [17:11] escott thanks! Is there any problem with grub or it's only about each distro itself. Cause grub is in the ubuntu [17:11] zykotick9: i add my username in video group.. so it doesn't require sudo now [17:11] erebus_, to get the suspend to work you would need the update-initramfs. but if they are in fstab they should be swapped on unless they don't look correct (like mkswap hasn't been run) [17:12] /w 3 [17:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq has some good information on swap [17:12] escott, yes there are not reqognised. In debian dmesg it says that swap cant be loaded. So I must run mkswap in each system and I will see. Thanks for your help [17:12] damo22, sorry to bother. trying thanks for your help. reading up further i should be doing this from win7. cant risk losing anything!! [17:12] riad_shourov: besides irssi do you use any cool terminal programs besides (mutt,elinks,mplayer,moc,mcabber,irssi-plugin-xmpp,wget,rsync,identicurse,abook,htop,iotop,slurm,bmon)? [17:14] is it possible to move a ubuntu install to another drive and erase the old drive? or at the very least, partition the drive ubuntu is installed on down from 3TB to 100GB? [17:15] when i format an extra drive, i shouldn't select scheme: master boot record, right? that's only if i'm going to use this drive as the boot drive? [17:15] i want to select guid? [17:15] zykotick9: w3m-img, links2( also with links2 -g), only mplayer( i dont have any other media player), wget, fbi,fbgs, vim, antiword, rtorrent, htop,cbm,surfraw, gpm, youtube-dl, get-flash-videos [17:16] chipotle, master boot record format is nothing to do with being the boot drive [17:16] riad_shourov: thanks - i forgot abcde for cd ripping in my list ;) [17:16] chipotle http://paste.ubuntu.com/856755/ [17:16] chipotle, yes , you can resize the ubuntu partition to any size you wish as long as / and your home dir fit on it [17:17] riad_shourov: can i ask what de/wm you use? [17:17] TIME TO GET STEAM WORKING [17:17] caps [17:17] sorry :( [17:17] anybody have a clue how I can split a file into multiple files at its multiple EOFs? [17:18] 4G844|8@v;*r3/f [17:18] zykotick9: well...you see. i cant run x yet.. but i like ratpoison window manager [17:18] chipotle, boot the livecd and use gparted to shrink the ubuntu partition. take backups of critical data first [17:18] Hello, I am using Ubuntu 11.10 - amd64. I have noticed that after I suspend my laptop and wake if back up, the fan starts being noisy. It never stops. Works fine after the boot. Why is that? [17:19] riad_shourov: :) ratpoison - mouse killer! i recently got into awesome and now love it. [17:19] zykotick9: isn't awesome another tiling wm? [17:19] riad_shourov: tiling or not - very customizable [17:20] riad_shourov: i'm a vi guy, but i think awesome is like the emacs of wms [17:20] what is a good cli irc client ? [17:20] viktor133: irssi [17:20] thnks === ubuntu is now known as Dig [17:21] I'm having an issue where I log on and it pauses at the Lubuntu logo loading screen saying Searching for Network Configuration. When it finally loads my NetworkManager doesn't register my wireless network card nor will it let me activate it. I was having issues earlier where I couldn't use NetworkManager and a suggestion online that fixed it had me go into the .conf file and alter a value to to True. Once I did that network ma [17:21] nager seems to work however it hangs up where I just previously mentioned. I'll let it reboot and the problem shows it's head but never reaches the "Waiting for 60 Seconds" and when it boots everything works. Will a simple uninstall and reinstallation of NetworkManager work? [17:21] viktor133: #debian's irssi factoids starts "methinks irssi is the best client ever" [17:21] Is there a way to try Unity2D via live CD? [17:23] or is there a better NetworkManager other than NetworkManager? [17:23] zykotick9: hw do you change rc file for awesome? is it in any programming lang or just simple scripting?? [17:23] ignoredthoughts: no. but alternative is wicd. [17:24] riad_shourov: it's some weird programing language actually - hard to work with! [17:24] weird? lua isn't weird... [17:25] riad_shourov: lua something - but the config is ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua [17:25] Heya.. I got problems. ubuntu won't boot to a login screen, and the only way I can start x.. (As far as I know) is to ALT-CTRL-F2 and startx. Even then, my unity desktop is moderately broken. All this is in ubuntu 11.10 [17:25] hi. a dumb question no doubt, but how can i tell whether my kernel is 32-bit or 64-bit? [17:25] Heyo, can anyone tell me why /proc/meminfo show that i have 200mb ram free, while top show 600mb used out of 2gb? :S [17:25] zykotick9: ah!! i m not good in programming :( [17:25] rkj uname -a [17:25] rkj: in terminal do "uname -a" [17:26] riad_shourov: ME NEITHER! i can script my way out of a paper bag, but that's about it (and i don't consider bash scripting programming, though i use loops all the time) [17:26] hello [17:26] !list [17:26] No warez here!

[17:31] zykotick9: but i cant get the heck of it :P ..rather i like to use 'ls' more [17:31] chipotle, transfer what? [17:31] hrm... is there any reason Lubuntu wouldn't be able to see my NetworkManager.conf right away or on the first boot try? [17:31] or has anyone else ran into this? [17:31] escott: i want to transfer my ubuntu drive to another, smaller drive [17:31] riad_shourov: the "core" stuff is often the most effective ;) can i PM you an OT question? [17:31] i couldn't do it before when i installed ubuntu because i had data on it [17:31] chipotle, ok you are switching drives not just shrinking the partition [17:32] zykotick9: ok [17:32] I was wondering if there was a way that you can play World of Warcraft on ubuntu and if so is the perfomaance good and how can you do it please Ubuntu commity [17:32] chipotle, there are ways to do it, but it might be easier to just reinstall see !clone [17:32] Admin_User, wine [17:32] chipotle: Clonezilla.

[17:46] raido, i understand clonezilla works for you on a standard bios/mbr partitioned system. i don't think you know enough about gpt to be able to say if clonezilla will properly clone a bios/gpt system. At least nothing you have said gives me any confidence you know what the differences are, and if you don't you are likely walking chipotle down a path where he will have a nonbooting system [17:46] wolfmitchell: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto [17:46] doc-saintly: I can see the personall stuff but what ever if we are going to be friends on here why cant we get to know each other and this is past on ubuntu okay I have seen people play games and like it and just dont say that this stuff that am not talking about is not about ubuntu we are family [17:47] Admin_User: lay off the sauce [17:47] and - there's this thing called punctuation and complete sentences. [17:47] Admin_User: Usually when people want to talk about such things here they just pm each other. [17:47] Admin_User: That way the room stays open for people who may need support. [17:48] wolfmitchell: yes, the OS will boot off the PXE server. The system can be completely diskless [17:48] Admin_User: there is a channel just for chat. #ubuntu-offtopic [17:48] Doc-Saintly: bob37773: Stop it your killing me man I was joking man I cant stop laughing. [17:48] sorry guys [17:48] Guys, I know there is a setting to force Ubuntu to always start at 1920-resolution. Can't remember how to do it, but it had to do with putting 1 command into the 'Start-options'. I have a ATI card [17:48] Admin_User: Oh okay [17:48] I need it to still be able to boot the regular OS (eg. Windows) but have ubuntu running over the network. [17:49] Aitor i thought you were asking how to chat on Badoo [17:49] VIPER-II: Maybe an xrandr command? [17:49] ah yeah [17:49] Admin_User: seems to just need java.. [17:49] bobo37773: If you want to change you ip address in a database and use thouse to calilate what you been doing on the web can you do that or something or am I talking about something else [17:50] was it: xrandr 1920x1080 ? [17:50] monkeydust: np, by the way, do u know if is posible to chat in badoo trought empathy or pidgin? [17:50] wolfmitchell: then have a virtualbox booting PXE, or you can just reboot and tell the system to boot PXE instead of the internal storage [17:50] ActionParsnip: lol I just had some coffie lol I get crazy some times sorry about that [17:50] VIPER-II: xrandr -s 1920x1080 [17:50] Eg. access boot menu and select "LAN"? [17:51] bobo37773: If you want to change you ip address in a database and use thouse to calilate what you been doing on the web can you do that or something or am I talking about something else [17:51] ah [17:51] what is fastest (not secure!) way to copy one big file over LAN? [17:51] Admin_User: What are you talking about? Which database? You may be thinking of using a proxy server [17:51] zgr: scp [17:51] zgr: samba / nfs would be faster the ssh/scp [17:52] wolfmitchell: yeah, it will hit the pxe server and boot to the liveCD [17:52] may anyone help me please? [17:52] zgr: i use dukto 5, start on both pc`s and drop files on it. Also works between linux and windows. Easyast adn fastest way... [17:52] bobo37773: but is it possible to use such a program. to have a history what you been doing on the internet and find which Ip address whent to that site. [17:52] elhoir: whats goiing on? [17:52] Ok, but I don't want the live CD [17:52] zykotick9: really? i would think scp would be just as fast as the network would allow [17:52] escott: Interesting comment from someone who admits never using it. Nevertheless, The process of cloning will not modify the source drive, He has nothing to loose by trying it. [17:53] Admin_User: You mean like on a lan? [17:53] bobo37773: i cant search / run any app using the unity start launcher === dasd3 is now known as S34rching [17:53] elhoir: Oh. Sorry I don't use unity [17:53] :( [17:53] I want it to boot a fully-installed OS [17:54] wolfmitchell: you'll need to search that out then but you can PXE boot as long as your BIOS supports it [17:54] bastidrazor: i don't get the "greatest" performance from scp copying on my network? ymmv? [17:54] Can I do that with an existing ubuntu install? [17:54] bobo37773: mabey I guest but you know in school when someone goes on a site and that perison or if they find something on there history that they dont want it on there system or something they check which last IP address whent to that site and shut them down is I heard of such a tool I just cant find something just what am talking about. [17:54] hey [17:54] elhoir: Did you try updating your system? [17:54] Fastest copy between 2 computers : http://www.msec.it/blog/?p=444 [17:55] bobo37773: its fully updated [17:55] bobo37773: I love you man. The resolution worked. Ubuntu FTW!!! :) [17:55] Admin_User: Oh I see. Local history setttings in your dns cache / web browser? [17:55] VIPER-II: Cool. Glad it helped [17:56] zykotick9: i normally have to limit the speed with scp. it takes all my bandwidth. [17:57] zykotick9: thanks, I first tried rsync over ssh, and then saw article on lwn which says that cp is much faster (except delta transfers), just thought is there way to just cat file through lan to another pc without ssh? :) [17:57] zgr nc [17:57] Oh I have a Q? for you guys you know it will be so easy if there was a tool that you can use for remote access on a monitor only for remote access or something like that that would have like a ethernet cable and usb ports and sound and and just the stuff that you sould have not like mother board or anthing like that not a computer just a tool that u can use to access remote access and use that for your computer. [17:57] elhoir: all I can reccomend is maybe reinstalling / reconfiguring unity with yoru package manager. Other then that I dont know [17:58] bobo37773: for reconfiguring unity... "unity --reset" maybe? [17:58] damo22: thanks! [17:58] bobo37773: Yes that what am looking for thank you [17:58] Oh I have a Q? for you guys you know it will be so easy if there was a tool that you can use for remote access on a monitor only for remote access or something like that that would have like a ethernet cable and usb ports and sound and and just the stuff that you sould have not like mother board or anthing like that not a computer just a tool that u can use to access remote access and use that for your computer. [17:58] or better "dpkg-reconfigure unity" ? [17:58] Admin_User: There are plenty of tools like that. What are you trying to do exactly? [17:59] elhoir: Yeah thats what I was thinking dpkg [17:59] OK, IM GONNA DO IT RIGHT NOW [17:59] lets see what happens [17:59] elhoir: Good luck. Hope it works [18:00] elhoir: You may need to reboot after. [18:00] anyone in here uses SICKBEARD? [18:00] Admin_User: you could use x forwarding to a central server and users can run apps on the server and they will show on the client, not sound though [18:00] bobo37773: actually, i have to reboot right now, since i cannot even open a terminal :) [18:00] bobo37773: Just use a Operating system or soemthing but not all the application only remote access to access different computer is there a iso or something that I can just use for my computer [18:00] elhoir: just switch to a tty [18:00] oh, true [18:01] Admin_User: you could make a multiseat PC if you want too http://www2.userful.com/products/userful-multiseat-linux something like that [18:01] ok, im back right now :) [18:01] AP-Can I set up a LiveCD to connect to an X server on the host computer instead of booting into lan? [18:01] Admin_User: Its not as simple as you may think if you are indeed talking about what I think you are. [18:02] elhoir: that quick? [18:02] hello, trying to install restricted extras trought ubuntu software center gives me the advice to uninstall first two packages: libav codec and utility library; but i cannot find those packages to uninstall trought the same software center [18:02] hmm... guess not. [18:03] bobo37773: no, i meant, "im back in a while, in a very whort period of time" :) [18:03] VIPER-II: Yeah never heard of it [18:03] elhoir: Oh I see. Okay [18:03] short* [18:03] I'm using gnome3 right now, and the top bar's colours are all screwed up (they are a disgusting mixture of pink, white, cyan, blue, purple). It's basically a graphics glitch, in addition there's a lot of text that is not legible (but this only occurs in certain areas) any ideas? [18:03] sould i take the advice and unistall those packages (libav) using synaptic before installing the restrictred ubuntu extras? [18:03] wolfmitchell: I guess [18:04] Ok [18:04] I'll try that [18:04] ActionParsnip: bobo37773: I guest it really hard to explane see if it was just a box that had a vga,ethernet,usb,sound plugin, that device that only has remote access that you can use and use different virtualization os system that you install on vmware and stuff like that and it would be nice for school or bussiness Deed a create something new if so I think I became a $1,000,000,000 lol just kittting [18:04] is there a way to password protect programs in ubuntu? [18:04] bobo37773: well ppl who watches series kinda love it, cuz it is capable of searching the latest episode and download em each time that it comes out. [18:04] Admin_User: haha. Yeah dont forget about me when you do :p [18:05] Ya that true I will make you the CEO because your probley smarter then me lol:) [18:05] VIPER-II: eh. I do it the old fashioned way hahaha. Not really something to discuss here though [18:05] hi is there anyway that i can run programs on second screen "dual monitors" ? [18:05] yeah sorry. === dwatkins_ is now known as dwatkins [18:09] ActionParsnip: what do you mean About a x forwarding what kind of OS is that what that name of it. [18:09] zatan: you can use compiz or devilspie, you can use gdevilspie to configure it [18:09] Admin_User: the x server in linux is very modular, the display for an app can be on a remote system but be processed on the server [18:10] Is there a way to get onto irc.spotchat.org using Empathy to then go to #linuxmint-help? [18:10] BlueWolf: add the server in the client [18:11] BlueWolf: empathy? is empathy an irc client? [18:11] bobo37773: it can connect to irc servers, so yes [18:11] ActionParsnip: oh I had no idea [18:12] ActionParsnip: How would I go about this? [18:12] BlueWolf: not sure, i use pidgin [18:12] BlueWolf: try: /server irc.spotchat.org [18:13] ActionParsnip: Where would I enter it in? The chat create a new account?

[18:16] what is the ubuntu equivalent of windows 'resource monitor' (the right window here: http://i41.tinypic.com/2gsep0k.jpg) [18:16] I want to monitor what processes/files are using my drives [18:17] i cant' log in on my ubuntu session... i can't go further than the log in screen.... i've tried the Xauthority solution but i can't find the file [18:17] not using space, but what is using the speed [18:17] Boris_, error message?

[18:21] monohedron: http://www.winarchiver.com/tutorials/mzp-file.htm looks like some winarchiver thing [18:21] hmm that didnt work. and as for install i just downloaded the iron executable [18:21] monohedron: is there a command line to seach for files on the hard drive? maybeee is the Xauthority file in an other location [18:21] bastidrazor: Ok adding it manually - in the network do I just put spotchat or irc.spotchat.org? [18:22] my drive on the ubuntu server will take 16 hours to copy over 62 gb (been runing for 10 hours probably)--that doesn't seem right does it--whats the best way to find out if its the read drive, the copy drive, the network or other? I guess when the copy is done I should run a chkdisk on the drive? [18:22] BlueWolf: in the network put irc.spotchat.org and you do not need to change the port number [18:22] Pat201: i'd use the deb from the site === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [18:22] how can i install Ubuntu TV?

[18:26] well its actually 'find / -name .ICEauthority' [18:26] what's the 'chmod' command to make a directory and it's contents accessible for all other users? I dont think it "chmod 777".

[19:22] mongy, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm mostly worried about web app vulnerabilities. [19:22] Subsonic music streaming, wordpress, etc. [19:22] not sure what happened but all of the sudden I don't have write access to my ntfs internal hd. ntfsfix says all is good and so does chkdsk from win7. any ideas?

[19:27] !nomodeset | as001 [19:27] as001: 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 [19:27] as001, my 4650 is fine however. [19:27] radioact1ve, make sure you have ntfs-3g installed [19:27] in ubuntu [19:28] I saw that ubottu and blacnk screen has gone when i chose vesa but I think I should be able to boot in normal.... I tried to turn off everything on F6 but if I choose normal I get black screen [19:29] IT also says on lspci it is kernel module: radeon but lsmod does not show radeon at all... I think it uses some other module.. [19:29] as001, you may need a driver try the nomodeset option. [19:30] I tried that option with mode normal and get black screen [19:30] as001, hence the nomodeset option. [19:30] as001, "which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen" [19:31] it is not needed for thisone because it boots fine in vesa mode without that option. [19:31] as001, what version of ubuntu ? [19:31] 10.10 [19:31] why i dont get output for repquota -avug ? [19:31] as001, nomodeset is a better option than vesa... vesa is a failsafe [19:32] I alread said i can not boot with nomodeset + normal [19:32] as001, consider using 11.10. or waiting till 12.04. till then, either boot with nomodeset or boot in vesa and install the fglrx driver [19:32] urfr332gO, done. not sure what to do next... if it was working before since install why would i need it now?

[19:44] whiskers75, no need to repeat the question that often. [19:45] daekdroom: ok [19:46] Hello. I need to create a bootable XP install disk (I currently do not have windows on my machine). Anyone know of linux alternatives to WinToFlash? unetbootin did not work. [19:46] moddinati: unetbootin is just for linux distros, try the ##windows channel [19:47] Any help? [19:47] xangua: Thanks for responding. I don't believe the windows channels would know anything about linux software (correct me if I'm wrong). [19:48] I need a linux program to create a windows install flash drive (I only have ubuntu on my machine). [19:48] moddinati: so, why should a gnu/linux channel know about ms softare then? double standard [19:48] Oh forget it, I am leaving. [19:48] When I plug my laptop (ubuntu unity) to a external monitor, dual-screen is activated automagically. However when I do the opposite, unplugging the monitor, nothing seems to happen. I loose the windows that were on the monitor and the unity launcher is unavailable/off screen [19:49] Can I force a monitor update or something [19:49] zykotick9: I'm not asking for ms software per se. I'm asking for linux software to create a windows install flash drive. Make sense? [19:49] zyotick, upon logging out and logging back in with scrotwm, i wasnt able to really log back in. i was just show the scrotwm taskbar on the top of the page, but the ubuntu login screen did not change. [19:50] !tab > zhuang [19:50] zhuang, please see my private message [19:50] moddinati: make sense it doesn't has to do with ubuntu, already tried the ##windows channel? [19:50] moddinati, pretty difficult in linux, go to a windows computer and use the wintoflash it works wonderful, if the ISO or disc is a legit ms product. [19:50] zhuang: i don't understand? are you in scrotwm or not? [19:50] what is the ubuntu command line pipe pasteit? I installed 'ls|nautilus-pastebin' and get -> nautilus-pastebin: command not found so I am a little confuzed [19:51] no, i am not. when i tried to get into scrotwm through what you refer to as the "DM", i got stuck on the ubuntu login screen but i did see the scrotwm taskbar on the top of he page [19:51] moddinati: for the record, i think your question is appropriate for both #ubuntu and #windows, but i also suspect it's not easy (if at all possible) to do what you want from Ubuntu [19:51] joker2u: foocmd | pastebinit [19:51] but that was the only thing that changed.

Problem is I don't have access to a windows machine. [19:51] the login screen freezed, basically. [19:51] Ljl: Thanks for the response. I will check the #windows channel, I may misunderstand what that channel is. [19:52] moddinati: would a workaround like installing windows on a VM and using that be workable? [19:52] xangua, zykotick9: if he's asking how to do something from Ubuntu, i don't see why it doesn't belong here to be honest. [19:52] moddinati, install the xp in a virtual then make the flash. [19:52] is there a tool i can use in pinguyos (no one is talking in the #pinguyos channel) to turn off the touchpad on my dell 1545 inspiron? it's annoying me to no end. thanks. [19:53] LjL: i was just commenting on this double standard. MS doesn't need to know about linux, but gnu/linux people need to know about windows. It wasn't me that directed him to the other channel. [19:53] thevaliantx, that os is not supported here. :) [19:53] urfr332g0: Round-a-bout way of doing it. Should work though. Thanks [19:53] zykotick9: I took it as a compliment. Windows guys wouldn't have the cross platform skills, but Linux guys tend to... [19:53] what is the ubuntu command line pipe pasteit? I just apt-get installed it and when doing a basic test -> 'ls|nautilus-pastebin' and get -> nautilus-pastebin: command not found so I am a little confuzed [19:54] joker2u: pastebinit [19:54] Stava, is there a FN key to switch external monitor ?

[19:55] i know but i need to know if i works ok today [19:55] mrdeb: probably #ubuntu+1 is a better place to ask [19:55] I think that's the channel name anyway [19:56] ssta: it is ;) [19:56] ssta ty! I don't know how I missed that. [19:56] urfr332gO, excuse me? i asked for help, thanked everyone for taking the time to read the message. if you don't want to help, fine, but there's no need for you to act superior. [19:56] Stava that could be a help, maybe you need to switch before disconnecting ... and plugout after turning off the monitor, could also help [19:56] thevaliantx, I would try ##linux now would a elitist help you. :) [19:56] thevaliantx: this channel only supports Ubuntu though, we don't make exceptions [19:56] LjL pinguy is based off ubuntu, yes? [19:56] Oer: Currently I just managed to unplug the monitor with no issues (happens 1 in 100 times), but i'll definitely try your method next time the problem arises. Thanks! [19:57] thevaliantx: i don't know, but anyway we don't support third-party derivatives.

Currently the code does an awful lot to detect what should be included, but this type of run-time detection does not lend it's self to migrations... That is one can't copy the root fs onto another dm-crypt device because one would never be able to mount it. What do ppl think?

[19:58] LjL, i'll answer it for you. yes, PinguyOS is based off Ubuntu, the author of PinguyOS thought highly enough of Ubuntu to base his OS off of it. and you thank him for that how?

It seems to have "ufw"as the iptables software, and I am not sure if it is working correctly. Example to follow.. [20:27] I am on UEFI may be its related since it might use protective MBR [20:28] Is there a pdf of the Ubuntu Desktop Guide available anywhere? [20:28] !iptables | GaryDev [20:28] GaryDev: 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. [20:29] I enter in putty "iptables -A INPUT -s 123.49.35.141 -j DROP" and then I save the table to a file... when I read that file, it shows "-A INPUT -s 123.49.35.141/32 -j DROP" ...

[20:35] hmm.. interesting... the -L -n now shows the ip and not the range (for the ones that I didn't specify ranges on)... so I take it this is "normal" for UFW... and not to be worried? [20:36] GaryDev: ufw isn't supposed to be for people who run iptables themselves :) [20:37] should I be using different "options" rather than just doing an "iptables-save" [20:37] dr_wills its an issue with Linux OS man [20:37] ah, ok ssta... should I un-install UFW then, and just put in the base iptables [20:37] Newer HDD comes with 4k sectors [20:37] GaryDev: I dunno.

[20:57] urfr332gO: it'll read ext3 and ext2 with extra software [20:57] trishxo: Can you boot into recovery console at startup? Hold SHIFT during boot, and you'll load grub. Then, enter recovery console; if you have an external HDD or a second HDD, you could use cp to copy stuff you want to keep. But after this you'll just have a backup, not a freshly thingy install. [20:57] Well, so what can I do to make it just reformat the disk to NTFS or FAT? [20:58] I'm not trying to read from it, I'd just like to be able to see it as a drive which I can reformat. [20:58] actionparsnip, i need a serious os to work on,,, [20:58] cool_beans1, can you right click it I saw it is a device and format it, or does it show in the Disk manager in W7?

[20:58] kuldeepdhaka: define "serious OS" [20:59] urfr332gO, ActionParsnip: Let me try out those things, and see where I get.

[20:59] kuldeepdhaka: A linux os is what you make it. [20:59] ActionParsnip, gentoo is my vote. :) [21:00] kuldeepdhaka: could install ubuntu minimal, then install openbox and you will have a super slim OS [21:00] ActionParsnip: Wow, that would be a super duper slim OS O.o [21:00] actionparsnip,please tell me about it more [21:00] actionparsnip,please tell me more about it [21:01] kuldeepdhaka: minimal installs a kernel, bootloader and standard drivers. You can then install openbox to get a GUI which is very light in RAM and storage [21:01] kuldeepdhaka: have some patience, shild [21:01] !minimal [21:01] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:01] ActionParsnip: i think even mini will be to large if Xorg is installed. Even my KVM server (without X) is over 1GB [21:01] zykotick9: hmm [21:01] urfr332gO, ActionParsnip: It does not show up as a drive under the "Disk Management" tool in Windows. Also, under control panel > devices, right clicking doesn't give me an option to reformat. There was a "properties" option which looked promising, but I couldn't find anything within that which would help me reformat. [21:02] cool_beans1: you could unpartition it in gparted and it may show in Windows [21:02] I would be grateful for any help! Have Lenovo x61s, and need configure hylafax. but I can't install/configure hsfmodem. I do http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1903439 and get Warning: no device detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require reboot. Reboot not help. What do?

[21:02] cool_beans1: you have the ubuntu live cd, or you can make one at the very least..... [21:03] cool_beans1, you might download partition manager or the easu partitioner and see if they see it. [21:03] rokr1, no, you need to format again. [21:03] I mean block size [21:03] cool_beans1, or follow ActionParsnip advice as well. [21:03] ActionParsnip: i m new to linux and want start with linux,,,so give me any tutorial that i can do it my self [21:04] kuldeepdhaka: tutorial for what?

[21:06] actionparsnip: tried but i need some feature bcos it a computer that have mid level strength [21:06] like graphics and better gui [21:07] urfr332gO: easus is great! :) [21:07] ==============thanks cool_beans1 ANd Actionparsnip============== [21:07] kuldeepdhaka: No problem. === me_ is now known as Guest73603 [21:07] So I can't install it. [21:07] cool_beans1, I have used it in windows in the past seems to work in some areas, I'm not really awindows user though in general. [21:08] kuldeepdhaka: there is one based on ubuntu, you can install packages as you do i ubuntu... [21:08] I have a question; when telling sysctrl to reboot on a kernel panic after 10 seconds... why does it just get stuck at "rebooting in 10 seconds..." after having kernel panicked? [21:08] urfr332gO: Well, it seems to be able to see it, and I can partition the USB now [21:08] cool_beans1, cool. :) [21:08] urfr332gO: So it's great for a quick install - use - uninstall tool [21:08] cool_beans1: i liked the user interface of me mevric merrcat[10.10] can i intall that one,,,, [21:08] How do you change the workgroup in xubuntu? [21:09] kuldeepdhaka: Gnome 2 I guess? [21:09] cool_beans1, I use gparted in ubuntu or by itseflf on a multu boot thumg mostly. [21:09] actionparsnip: please give me the name [21:09] itself* [21:09] urfr332gO: My trouble is that I've ruined my MBR [21:09] urfr332gO: and I only have one USB HDD to put boot images on, and no CDs [21:09] :p [21:09] cool_beans1, easy fix most of the teime, can you share what that means. [21:09] Does anyone know if there is a way to get the latest boinc client on ubuntu? Is there a ppa? [21:10] urfr332gO: So what happened was that I was trying to remove an earlier installed Ubuntu partition - I went into windows disk manager, and deleted the ubuntu partition [21:10] I have a question; when telling sysctl to reboot on a kernel panic after 10 seconds... why does it just get stuck at "rebooting in 10 seconds..." after having kernel panicked? is there any way to force a reboot? [21:10] cool_beans1, and could not boot windows? [21:10] without physically pressing the reboot button, since the server is kinda 5400 miles away [21:10] urfr332gO: Now, my computer can't boot up at start up, so I have to use Super Grub Disk 2 [21:10] cool_beans1: Exactly, because it booted off the partition I deleted [21:11] so there's this process or something which keeps spewing ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ on my consoles [21:11] any ideas what this is? [21:11] cool_beans1, you can put the recovery iso from windows 7 on a thumb and fix the mbr. [21:11] kuldeepdhaka: http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm just use the web, you'll find all kinds of things [21:11] In a bash script, I'm outputting find to an array variable. The filenames contain spaces, and I need to set IFS (internal field separator) to \n\b for it to work. Why doesn't it work with the IFS just set to \n ? Is find outputting backspaces? [21:12] urfr332gO: That's basically what I'm trying to do right now, but once I loaded onto Windows 7, I found I couldn't see the thumbdrive, however, I've reformatted the USB now, and will be putting on the windows image [21:12] actionparsnip: i have used it,,,,but i want to install ubuntu preferably [21:12] cool_beans1, Windows 7 alows you to generate a recovery disc or Iso I believe [21:12] Benxyzzy: "if" you don't get an answer here, try #bash [21:12] urfr332gO: ahh [21:13] cool_beans1: can i install 10.10 gui on latest minimial release [21:13] zykotick: Didn't know that channel existed, thanks [21:13] cool_beans1, you have the W7 install iso or disc? [21:13] urfr332gO: The .iso [21:13] archels: i'd press the keys on your keyboard, make sure none are pressed [21:13] kuldeepdhaka, 10.10 is only months ffrom end of life. === user33 is now known as ResQue [21:14] kuldeepdhaka: I'm sure you can, just find out what it used - Gnome 2? and just use that as instead of openbox or whatever the tutorial suggests [21:14] ActionParsnip: none are, plugged and replugged keyboard, rebooted, single-user mode, always the same [21:14] archels: press every key, be sure it pops back up [21:14] urfr332gO: i want to use the user interface of 10.10 because of its simplicity in latest release [21:14] cool_beans1, you can use the MS thumb loader to load the usb and fix the mbr, it has to be a legit ISO though. [21:14] kuldeepdhaka: lucid puppy can install ANY application you can install in ubutu.. [21:15] urfr332gO: MS thumb loader? [21:15] kuldeepdhaka, cool but in april I believe you will get no support here and no security updates, justa heads up. [21:16] kuldeepdhaka: The interface for 10.10 is just gnome 2 without Unity [21:16] am I right? [21:16] urfr332gO: can i merge the latest source code with the user interface of 10.10 [21:16] yes [21:16] you just uninstall unity [21:16] cool_beans1, http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool [21:16] and voila - pretty sure... [21:17] urfr332gO: i have a HP (manufed in 2008) computer with VIX 1 Mhz processor, 512 mb ram and 1 GB internal memory......i want to install ubuntu but it require 2.3 GB [version 10.10] space...is there any way to install ubuntu...i m fed up with windows embedded xp [21:17] guys seems like because of that 4k block size issue I need to reformat HDD [21:17] kuldeepdhaka, I would belioeve that but from your earlier post I hardly think so. :) [21:17] posts [21:18] my personal opinion though it does not matter really. kuldeepdhaka [21:18] urfr332gO: i want to do programming on it and need simple ui,,,, [21:18] urfr332gO: ahh, yes! I have that installed :) I'm still finding that windows can't detect my USB HDD though...even after I used EASEUS to repartition the USB... [21:18] like 10.10 [21:19] kuldeepdhaka: 10.10 just has gnome 2 [21:19] so in the tutorial [21:19] ook [21:19] kuldeepdhaka: install xubuntu and it will look and feel like Gnome2 [21:19] cool_beans1, I wonder if the usb is toast now, hard to say. [21:20] urfr332gO: Oh god no! [21:20] is there a "recommended" way to set /bin/sh to bash (rather than just remaking the symlink) [21:20] kuldeep: sudo apt-get install xorg xterm gdm menu firefox gksu synaptic --no-install-recommends [21:20] ActionParsnip: internal memory is only 1GB, i dont think so it will fit on it ----i dont know the intsallation size [21:20] cool_beans1, you can if you get a ubuntu cd just instal lilo it will boot windows like it should no menu but straight in. [21:21] kuldeepdhaka: xubuntu is a smaller install than the gnome install [21:21] kuldeepdhaka: if you just install openbox it will be even lighter [21:22] can u give me any link to tutorial where i can install ubuntu accroding to my needs [21:22] cool_beans1, lilo to the mbr not windows just so you know. [21:22] hmm, /bin/sh isn't in the alternatives framework? [21:22] ssta, no, /bin/sh is the bourne shell [21:22] kuldeepdhaka: I don't think there's any tutorial which will specifically address only your needs, you're going to have to read, mix and match [21:23] ook [21:23] urfr332gO: you'll facepalm: I was just not hitting the "apply actions" button in easeus :p [21:23] Seveas: I know what it is. I'm looking to set it to bash rather than dash. If there isn't a "right" way to do that I'll just repoint the symlink by hand. I would have thought there'd be a more robust mechanism though [21:23] cool_beans1, easy mistake, much better then a toasted thumb. :) [21:24] How do you change the workgroup in xubuntu? === Shadows` is now known as SoulShadow [21:24] urfr332gO: hahaha, so true! [21:25] haux: edit /etc/samba/smb.conf [21:25] ActionParsnip, Do I have to have samba installed for this? [21:25] When I type "samba", it says it's not installed. [21:25] cool_beans1, do you know the commands to reload the mbr from the repair on the W7 disc the autorepiar will probably not work? [21:25] haux: its in the default install (no samba) [21:26] hello, could somebody help me? [21:26] cool_beans1, here they are for you if needed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/813664/ [21:26] ActionParsnip, ok, the the reason I asked is because I was trying to restart the service without having to restart Ubuntu, but all of the commands I was able to find had to do with samba, which I don't have [21:27] is anybody good with trouble shooting installation? [21:27] JonDenomme: with some details, maybe [21:27] cool_beans1, you may just need the BootRec.exe /fixmbr only but it helps to have the whole set [21:28] hi [21:28] !ru [21:28] Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [21:29] well, I'm currently trying to install Ubuntu server off of a USB, and on the boot menu, the only option working is the help option, which tells me to go here [21:29] urfr332gO: Did not know that. Will have to read through! Thanks :) [21:29] war10ck_, please read the freenode commands for getting private messages. :) [21:29] cool_beans1, no problem it is a common mistake for people to remove grub before reloading the MS boot.

I'm going to give this a go, and hopefully it all works out okay. See you on the other side! [21:33] i'm trying to install ubuntu server off of USB, and it gave me an error "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.

[21:34] ActionParsnip: it only seems to show up in some occasions, like in nano and password entry, but not at the bash console prompt [21:34] JonDenomme: means you have a 64bit installer and your CPU isn't 64bit [21:34] ssta, thanks, i'll try the 32-bit then [21:34] scorpion: I have a script to install java but it will not install a package, so the install will still ask for java === oops_ is now known as bigoops96 [21:37] i have java installed, but when i do the install this is the message: Error: La dependencia no se puede satisfacer: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk [21:37] scorpion: you installed sun-java6-jre package?

[21:38] scorpion try open jdk [21:38] (I'm writing a script for someone else with Ubuntu, which is a distro I'm not familiar with) [21:39] scorpion: sudo update-alternatives --config java [21:39] guys, i made a script which mounts my networks partitions at my ubuntu. the problem is i wanted to run it every login, but mount is just for sudo, and i have to type sudo password every command at the script. is there a better solution? pastebin.com/JsnSUrER [21:39] scorpion: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [21:39] I have this installed: OPEN JDK java 6 run time [21:40] does anyone here use wmfs? [21:41] for any windows manager different from the default, after installation, it has to be configured before it'll work, yes? [21:42] zhuang: some packages will configure it for u but probably not wmfs [21:42] Hi guys. How can I find out what my current terminal position is on the command line? [21:42] horlepiep: terminal position? [21:42] hi, today i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. using ubuntu for several years now, i think this is the worst release ever. anyway, just one question: video qualtity decreased significantly using vlc or movie player and intel onboard graphics. any idea to make an improvement? [21:42] Yes, The position on the screen. [21:42] subthalamus, do you happen to know if scrotwm configures it for you? [21:43] So I'm getting this ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ across my terminal for no apparent reason, any ideas? [21:43] 1 [21:43] zhuang: I don't, but I hardly think u should pick your window manager according to whether it does this automatically for u or not...! [21:44] hej how i get the sources of the kernel im running into ubuntu?? [21:44] archels, stuck keys? [21:44] zhuang: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? just a lightweight window manager? [21:44] ssta: I want to have my terminal open at a specific plocation on the screen. [21:44] urfr332gO: nope, it persists if I unplug the keyboard [21:44] zhuang: i doubt scrotwm is autoconfigured (it technically should be though). One option might be to stop your DM and use "startx" after configuring the proper exec line in .xinitrc [21:44] Yes, ideally tiling. [21:44] horlepiep: you'd have to do funky stuff with ANSI escape sequences for that [21:44] zhuang: pick one and make it happen [21:45] lol i'm trying. It's my first time using linux though. :S [21:45] archels, maybe you been pwnd, just joking here. [21:45] i'm trying to configure WMFS but I've no idea. [21:45] zhuang: which ubuntu version u running? [21:45] urfr332gO: fresh install [21:45] 11.10 [21:45] i'm using a gnome classic shell [21:45] ssta: isn't there any command that will show its location? [21:45] zhuang: so you just need to config lightdm [21:46] horlepiep: oh, you want the WINDOW at a specific position...you can do that by passing -geometry options to it I think [21:46] amd64 11.10 by the way [21:46] Okay, when I install evince-gtk, why does dpkg insist on removing ubuntu-desktop? This is retarded... [21:46] horlepiep http://forums.opensuse.org/programming-scripting/434256-get-cursor-position-bash-script.html [21:46] why would I want to do that? [21:46] archels, never heard of this I doubt any others have very strange [21:47] Well yeah, I know that. But how do I find out the current position of my xterm window? [21:47] horlepiep: xwininfo [21:47] ssta: thank :) [21:47] ah, the window itself [21:47] Gnea: breaking some of the underlying meta-packages is a huge pain. good luck (it is possible somehow by marking all packages as manually installed) [21:48] I think so MonkeyDust...although I'm still not sure :) [21:48] #ksus [21:48] Hallo! I have a question: I am using Ubuntu Server 10.04.4 with apache and mod_dav. Everytime i want to send a file bigger than about 2mb i get "Could not get next bucket brigade" ... is there anyone who knows this problem? [21:49] !list [21:49] 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 ». [21:50] its not a warez space ... [21:50] zhuang: lightdm loads the window manager (used to be gdm) [21:50] Uncle|Sam, with a google of Could not get next bucket brigade "I see from apache bugs to firewall problems. [21:51] ah, so to use WMFS, i'd have to configure lightdm first? [21:51] zhuang: well, u said u already installed wmfs right? [21:51] i googled this problem but dont get an answer. I am currently not using a firewall for testing so i have no idea :( [21:52] zhuang: next u just have to tell lightdm to load it [21:52] yes, i haven't configured it, but i have installed it. [21:52] i see. [21:52] how would I go about doing that? :S [21:52] i can't find it upon searching for it [21:52] in the "search files" box [21:53] zhuang: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62833/how-do-i-change-the-default-session-for-when-using-auto-logins [21:54] i'm not using auto-login however, subthalamus.

In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-8ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 755 kB, installed size 1424 kB [21:55] how can i rehash(restart) html file from shell? [21:55] zykotick9, are you suggesting that I use something called Ubuntu Oneiric? [21:55] zhuang: slim [21:55] Oneiric Ocelot* [21:55] Slim Oneiric? [21:56] oh nvm [21:56] just slim [21:57] "You do not appear to have the sources for the 3.0.0-14-virtual kernel installed" how i install that virtual kernel sources?? [21:58] Jazo try gnome-open [21:58] thanks [21:58] zhuang: oneiric is just the codename for 11.10 [21:58] zhuang: slim is an alternative to lightdm [21:58] zhuang: there are a couple other alternatives if u want to get adventurous [21:59] there's some irony that login manager that integrates a full html rendering engine calls itself 'light' :) [21:59] I've installed slim, but i'm not really sure why. [21:59] I'm looking to get a tiling manager sure as wmfs or scrotwm. [21:59] does anyone have issues with vgrabbj not grabbing images unless run as root? [22:00] zhuang curiousity is always a valid reason why [22:00] zhuang: if you start slim then use f2 at your gui login screen to select your WM [22:00] But I could have done this before using lightdm. I was able to change from Unity to Gnome Classic. [22:01] Through the drop down tab. [22:01] Essentially, this is another way of doing this? [22:01] zhuang: but lightdm didn't have scrotwm did it? [22:02] Lightdm allowed me to select scrotwm. [22:02] But I had trouble logging in. [22:02] I couldn't even. It'd just freeze up. [22:02] zhuang: oh sorry - i though it wasn't listed! [22:02] "You do not appear to have the sources for the 3.0.0-14-virtual kernel installed" how i install that virtual kernel sources?? [22:02] Ah. [22:02] zhuang: uninstall slim [22:02] zhuang: dude, you guys are getting him all confused [22:03] slim, qingy, lightdm, gdm, doesnt matter [22:03] Test. [22:03] zhuang: sorry man - my bad [22:03] he needs to pick a combination and stick with it [22:03] i'd selected slim as my the default uhhhh. well it replaces lightdm i believe. [22:03] before I uninstall it [22:03] otherwise, he'll end up with all kinds of stuff on that computer [22:03] should I [22:03] set lightdm as the default? [22:03] zhuang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:04] Cron isn't working for me for some reason. Can anyone help me figure out what the issue is? [22:04] Hi. Is it possible that the mbr of a 1 month old pendrive to go bad (after putting 10 linux isos, at most? ) [22:04] Mike9863, what's not working? [22:04] zykotick9, how would I go about uninstalling slim and changing lightdm back the "default?" [22:04] Amoz: The commands I put are not running when they are supposed to [22:04] Patrunjel: definitely, those flash chips are crap [22:04] Mike9863, you use crontab -e do set it? [22:04] Patrunjel: the number of times I've had issues like that ugh... [22:04] Amoz: Yes [22:04] how can i install cgi:irc to my web site? [22:05] Mike9863, mind pasting the line you have in there? [22:05] zhuang: "sudo apt-get uninstall slim", did you change the default DM? [22:05] Yes to slim, I believe. [22:05] zhuang: how? [22:05] Well first, I did sudo-apt getinstall slim. Then gksudo leafpad /etc/slim.conf [22:06] then leafpad~/.xinitrc and lastly exec.startlxde in the text editor it took me to [22:06] now when I try sudo apt-get uninstall slim, I;m told INVALID OPERATION UNINSTALL. [22:06] Amoz: 25 * * * * php /var/www/asdf.php [22:06] zhuang: just uninstall slim, and the conf won't matter. the .xinitrc will only apply if you are using startx [22:07] The asdf.php file writes the time(); command to a text file which I use to check if it ran, and from what I can tell it does not run. [22:07] subthalamus, just perfect... Also, I tried various formats (when reformatiing the pendrive), and there always appear 19ish mb occupied. I thought those are the screwed up mbr. Am I right, or it's just inode stuff or something? [22:07] Upon doing sudo-apt-get uninstall slim, typing that in, I'm told E: Invalid operation uninstall [22:07] it won't let me. :( [22:07] zhuang: "remove" not "uninstall" [22:07] hej how can i install the kernel sources for my 3.0.0-14-virtual kernel??? [22:07] guntbert: thanks! brainfart [22:08] ah [22:08] thank you [22:08] zykotick9: :) [22:08] Does this reverse everything I've done mroe or less? Is lightdm the default of whatever function it serves now? [22:08] Patrunjel: well, all I can recommend is getting a better quality drive. There are more expensive flash chip USB thumb drives that don't have these problems (check reviews) or just go all out with a rotating media [22:09] zhuang: can you restart to test? [22:09] okay. [22:09] Mike9863, test something simpler like an echo command >> /home/user/test.txt [22:10] It seems fine zykotick9 [22:10] Mike9863, the script probably has no write permissions in /var/www so you might wanna check that [22:10] I'll brb.

I am on a public wi-fi network, connected to my home computer's NX server. Since NX uses SSH, if I am browsing from the home computer, no one on the public wi-fi should be able to see what I am doing, correct? [22:22] StevenR, correct [22:22] thanks Amoz! [22:22] great news. ;-) [22:23] Now i can log into my gmail etc securely. [22:23] StevenR, gmail started using HTTPS long time ago [22:23] so gmail should be secure anyways.. quite [22:24] Greetings, I was here a second ago under the name zhuang. [22:24] Amoz, I overlooked that detail. Either way, better safe than sorry. [22:24] StevenX: Gee, as if anyone can really snoop you, lol. [22:24] but thank you for putting my mind at ease. [22:24] I heard people on your network line can even just descrypt your SSH anyway if they see the handshakes... [22:24] Upon installing slim and settlign it as my default display manager and then removing slims via sudo-apt-get remove slim, I'm now unable to reach my login screen, that would be nornmally shown with lightdm. [22:25] Ho^Oh, I don't know why they would want to, but why not just surf from my home PC anyway, through the NX server. [22:25] How can I get back to my login screen? I get stuck at the ubuntu stratup screen with the few dots, but nothing changes. [22:25] asstreks: try "sudo service lightdm start" [22:25] where would I input that? [22:25] StevenR, via SSH you should be even safer ;) [22:25] asstreks, in a shell [22:25] how do I get to this shell? [22:25] or a shell at all [22:25] asstreks, you can get to a non graphical terminal ctrl+alt+f2 for example [22:25] but hold on [22:25] asstreks: where are you right now? [22:25] Windows 7 [22:26] I upgraded to kernel 3.2 with the ppa, but it broke my wifi. I have bcm 4312 which is supported by b43 and wl. anyone know a solution? [22:26] StevenX: My point is that security is not an all or nothing thing. [22:26] if you do it, you should press ctrl+alt+f7 so get back to the graphical tty [22:26] When theres a will, theres a way. :P [22:26] Ah I see. So ctrl+alt+f2, then ctrl+alt+f7, then sudo service lightdm start? [22:26] asstreks: ya [22:26] asstreks, actually, f1-f6 should all do for a non GUI tty [22:27] and then f7 for the graphical tty [22:27] dokurnon: use the kernel in the official repositories [22:27] this windows switch at unity is quite good, but is there some application windows switcher? like if i have 6 firefox windows they would just show me all my ff windows? [22:27] f1-f6 (one of them), f7, then sudo service lightdm start? [22:28] xangua: can I now downgrade the kernel? [22:28] StevenX: rather than use an nx server to surf I would probably just use ssh -D 8888 to tunnel [22:28] dokurnon: just select the previous kernel from grub or remove the ppa [22:28] chown_: cairo-dock [22:28] asstreks, no,ctrl+alt + f1 will put you in a shell [22:28] !ppa-purge | dokurnon [22:28] dokurnon: 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 [22:28] asstreks, there, you can loigin [22:28] login* [22:28] How do I login? Is it the default lightdm ubuntu login screen? [22:29] asstreks, and when you're in, you write "sudo service lightdm start" [22:29] xangua: thanks [22:29] asstreks, it will be a tty, a black screen prompting for your username [22:29] When I click links in Pidgin, they open up in Opera, even though Firefox is set as my default browser. Does anyone have any clue how to fix this? Links clicked in xchat, for example, do open in Firefox. [22:29] anyone have any issues with slow samba speeds on 11.10? [22:29] okay, thanks. [22:30] hope it works out for him/her :) [22:30] haux: try sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [22:30] Amoz: It worked with the new user [22:30] Chipzzz: is it hard to change unity for cairo-dock? [22:30] haux: as a test run in terminal with an html file run "xdg-open foo.html" vs "gnome-open foo.html" [22:31] haux: there is also a setting in pidgin to use whatever browser you want. [22:31] so i go into compizconfig and add workspaces but nothing happens, why would this happen? [22:31] mongy: if that's true - that's what he should be using! haux [22:31] Is it safe to remove all files in /var/log and /var/mail using find /var/log/* -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;?

I created a new user and then set up the cron and it seems to have worked. [22:32] To the person who helped asstreks, a second ago, that is me and I thank you. [22:32] Chipzzz: tyvm, i apreciate ur help [22:32] bitboy: compizconfig, general options, desktop size [22:32] Although that update-alternatives thing looked useful too. [22:32] Well thank you!

Will I have to do this everytime I login now, or is there some way I can get lightdm to be the default? [22:33] mongy_ when i change that nothing happens, could there be come sort of compatability issue [22:33] Uhh, to start everytime I start ubuntu [22:33] mongy, I do not know how to create an SSH tunnel yet. I am working on understanding that (and iptables so that I can protect the server), but right now this is my best option until I get things under my belt. [22:33] chown_: b/t/w - use it in 'gnome mode' to get the effect you described in your request [22:33] zhuang, I don't know, what did you do before this? [22:33] Amoz: Yes [22:33] bitboy: super+s ? [22:34] bitboy: does it show them ? [22:34] Mike9863, in that case you have a "normal" user (not root) after installation is finished, no?

I cant thank you enough [22:35] chown_: no problem... in case you missed my earlier b/t/w, use it in 'gnome mode' to get the effect you described in your original request [22:35] Mike9863, oh I see. is it okay to run it as the new user then? [22:35] I think after installing slim, I was taken to a menu when I could choose between slim and lightdm. Lightdm was previously highlighted, but then I chose slim. [22:36] Chipzzz: what do u mean by gnome mode? [22:36] Chipzzz: when i put my mouve over the dock app icon it shows me all windows [22:36] zhuang, are you using lxde as well? [22:37] StevenX: you connect to your server with ssh -D 8888 username@ipaddress (port can be other than 8888) then you set your proxy in browser to use SOCKS and address is localhost and port 8888 [22:37] Hi, I have two ubuntu images on my mac. I both want to set network configuration in virtualbox to NAT and host-only. When I do that I get a certain ip address. When I want to ssh in into my vm I get a big warning, probably because the key is saved in known hosts for my 1st VM and I'm trying to access the same ip address, but with another vm running. [22:37] right click on the dock & configure it... you'll see a 'modes' option... in 'gnome mode' it offers a launcher icon & an icon for each instance next to it on the dock [22:37] I've only installed Ubuntu 11.10 through Wubi today. I don't recall installing anything named lxde. [22:37] Amoz: I'll have to configure permissions but it should work out. Do you have any idea why cron would not be working with root though? [22:37] how can I change the ip address of the second VM? [22:37] Mike9863, nope I have no idea actually [22:37] Chipzzz: ty, i was looking for how to view its options, now i can get it done: ty [22:37] glad to help [22:38] zhuang, in that case you should probably not configure slim to start lxde [22:38] !enter | Danny_Joris [22:38] Danny_Joris: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:38] mongy, thanks, that seems simple enough. You do this through putty? I know how to use putty to connect to the ssh server, but I do not know where I would type in the "ssh -D>>>" [22:38] I've removed slim. [22:38] zhuang, ah [22:38] All i'm trying to do now is set it such that lightdm starts, so I won't have to login through [22:38] Danny_Joris: one way is to configure the IP addresses manually in the VMs [22:38] the nongraphical interface, then start lightdm there. [22:39] StevenX: I seem to remember if you run putty from cmd line you do putty -ssh [22:39] zhuang, okay, you want to start lightdm automatically [22:39] yes [22:39] StevenX: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=539067 < also. [22:40] should i reinstall my ubuntu, little things arent working like i cant scroll in xchat and when i add more workspaces nothing happens [22:40] Amoz, nvm. [22:40] I've figured itout. [22:40] bitboy: is it using compiz? [22:40] zhuang, great [22:40] zhuang, what was it? [22:40] I've just installed gdm, which took me to a grey-purple screen, then selected lightdm, where slim was previously selected. [22:40] im not sure what you mean mongy: [22:40] bitboy: are you sure it's not using unity 2d instead? [22:40] Would you know what this screen is? [22:40] It was in terminal. [22:40] bitboy: did you install xchat or xchat-gnome? === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [22:41] zhuang, probably some configuration thing [22:41] Thank you for your help. [22:41] i just installed 11.10 from the official download page. [22:41] mongy, thank you, I will look into that. [22:41] zhuang, you're welcome [22:41] guntbert: I've been trying to set some manual settings in etc/network/interfaces, but it never seems to work well. Any tips? I might be googling the wrong thing [22:41] so im assuming im using the latest unity [22:41] guntbert: he wanted to add more workspaces so I told him about ccsm and he says it doesn't change anything. me wonders if unity2d is in use. [22:41] ill check on the xchat [22:42] guntbert: would it be a 'static ip address' I need? [22:42] Ho^Oh, I understand that security is not all or nothing, and that in fact there is no such thing as "all secure," best we can do is make it as hard as possible to prevevent our security from being compromised. [22:42] mongy: no opinion from me on that - I was talking about the xchat complaint [22:42] no its the xchat for unity [22:42] can anyone tell me how to completely remove a package ? apt-get remove and purge dont seem to work ? [22:42] Danny_Joris: yes, you can set that in network manager as well [22:43] bpb_grinda: sudo apt-get purge package-name [22:43] bpb_grinda, what package are you trying to remove? [22:43] Amoz postfix [22:43] bpb_grinda: apt-get will never touch the "personal" config of a packager [22:43] so how do i remove it completely so i can install it fresh ? [22:43] is there away to check to see if ubuntu installed properly? i did the md5checksum after the download and everything checked out right [22:44] bpb_grinda: you can delete it's config files in ~/.config [22:44] Anyone know how to get a command line openvas client on 11.0? [22:44] Chipzzz where is .config ? in postfix dir ? [22:45] bpb_grinda: ~ is your home directory [22:45] bpb_grinda: in your home directory /home/yourusername/.config/packagename [22:45] bitboy: pgrep -l compiz [22:45] oh ok tnx [22:45] :-) [22:47] Chipzzz: although I wonder what postfix will store in ~ ... [22:48] does Ubuntu font support Unicode? [22:48] bpb_grinda, what makes you think it's not completely removed? [22:48] guntbert: good point... it's a good idea to check for files there too [22:48] Amoz i can still see in dpgk selections and i can start it from /etc/init.d [22:49] Pikkachu: Yes, though I couldn't tell you specifically what glyphs / languages. I don't think any one font supports *all* unicode characters. [22:49] Does anyone here have any idea as to why cron commands would not run under root? [22:49] bpb_grinda, and what do apt-get say if you try to purge it? [22:49] anyone have any problems with samba speed on 11.10 [22:49] ? [22:50] so i turned my computer off and on and now adding spaces with compiz works. what would be the reason for gliches like that? my xchat still isnt fixed [22:50] bitboy: what version ubuntu is this? [22:50] 11.10 [22:50] Amoz it asks to confirm and I press Y [22:51] Mike9863: what are the commands intended to do? [22:51] bpb_grinda, that means apt-get recognizes it as installed? [22:51] Amoz yes [22:51] bitboy: never heard of changes to workspaces not having affect toill relogin/restart. what was your xchat issue again? [22:51] Chipzzz: The commands run php files. [22:51] i believe i deleted a partition on my computer that had drivers and stuff from the toshiba manufacturer [22:51] does that only matter for windows [22:51] bpb_grinda, but what's the output from the apt-get purge then? [22:52] on xchat i can scroll up and down on the username window, but not on the thread of conversation [22:52] bpb_grinda, apt-get begin the removal but what happens then? [22:52] Mike9863: you prolly have to run them as a web user... try writing them as commands that call the php files with curl [22:52] bpb_grinda: paste the output of apt-cache policy postfix please [22:53] Is logrotate automatically installed on Ubuntu server? [22:53] bitboy: in preferences, what does the scrollback lines option says [22:53] And does it remove all the logs, and not just the ones that's specified in the default install? [22:53] hi, is it possible to transfer a long-running command from one terminal to another, e.g. from the ssh session to "screen"? [22:53] Mike9863: (http://url/of-the-php-file) [22:53] bitboy: once again: did you install xchat or xchat-gnome (both are in the repositories) [22:53] Chipzzz, Mike9863 that shouldn't be needed [22:53] Chipzzz: Why would they need to be run as the web user? [22:54] i installed xxchat gnome and it worked during the first few minutes [22:54] Mike9863, is php5-cli installed? [22:54] i mean not xchat gnome [22:54] just xchat [22:54] bitboy: also, can you use scrollwheel on mouse if you have one? [22:54] Mike9863, does the command work if you run it in the terminal directly? [22:54] Amoz: Yes [22:54] I'm not familiar with xchat-gnome.. [22:54] yes scroll on the mouse works mongy: [22:54] Mike9863, is root the only user you have in your ubuntu? [22:55] itaylor57: No [22:55] Mike9863: depending on what the commands do, it may require things that the server provides that will not be offered when run cli... [22:55] Igramul: Only if you start the command in a screen session. Why? [22:55] mongy the scrollback lines says 500 [22:55] Mike9863, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3192193/ubuntu-system-crontab-works-but-root-crontab-does-not [22:55] bitboy: guntbert is it that maybe xchat-gnome isn't working with overlay scrollbars properly? [22:56] bitboy: wait, did you say regular xchat or xchat-gnome? [22:56] regular xchat [22:56] Jordan_U, I have "tar" extracting 450GB on a remote machine. [22:56] not xchat-gnome [22:56] Mike9863: it's a problem i remember from building Drupal sites... the init scripts don't run unless called by a web user [22:56] mongy: I only know that xchat-gnome is a dumbed down version of xchat [22:56] Jordan_U, and I know not using screen in the first place was silly. [22:56] guntbert: yeah, me too. [22:57] Jordan_U: would you tell me some codepoint that would work in latin-1 pt_BR? [22:57] what is screen? [22:57] last time i installed ubuntu 11.10, it was weird on me too. like a lot of times to get things to work properly again i had to turn my computer on and off [22:57] !screen | Guest18689 [22:57] Guest18689: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [22:57] Guest18689, it allows You to detach a terminal and reattach to it later. [22:57] bitboy: do ls ~/.xchat2/scrollback/FreeNode [22:57] bitboy: any files listed? [22:58] Guest18689 byubo/screen is very practical, i use it extensively [22:58] before i do that ... geuss what? it just randomly started working [22:58] wtf [22:58] what is the difference between screen and window maker? [22:58] lol [22:59] when installing ubuntu with full disk encryption; is the keyboard layout set before or after the partitioning part? [22:59] screen is a terminal, window maker is a window manager, like gnome [22:59] mongy: do you have any idead why this stuff happens to me, im a huge advocate of open source software, yet this stuff hurts my case when people always see me running into all these gliches [22:59] bitboy: no idea dude. never seen anyone with either of those problems before [22:59] i can no longer boot my encrypted system after a hard reset [22:59] damn [23:00] the advantage of screen is what? [23:00] Guest18689, you can read text! [23:00] Is there a tool that will let me compare two directories but ignore the file contents in the comparison? I haven't found this option in Meld or kdiff3 [23:00] bitboy: if you think there is a bad install then check your iso with md5sum or boot your install media and run disk verify [23:01] Guest18689 it runs Terminal in the background, you can even logout, it still runs [23:01] Ubuntu 11.10 gosa and kolab in the repos are messed up-- bad installs and now impossible to uninstall [23:01] Guest18689 so if you ssh to a remote pc, or you run irssi, byobu/screen is very handy [23:02] thank you monkeydust. i will read more offline [23:03] Mike9863, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [23:03] gusg: This might do what you want: find | sort > file_list_1 && find | sort > file_list_2 && diff file_list_1 file_list2 [23:03] Mike9863, look under Troubleshooting [23:03] is anyone else having these random sound issues? It's an issue that's been going on and off, it sounds like static that mimics the music playing in vlc [23:03] Jordan_U: How should I generate those file lists? [23:03] Hi guys, does anyone know, how install Unity 5 on Ubuntu 11.10? [23:06] pooky5: add this ppa-- ppa:unity-team/staging [23:06] Tigerboy: It doesn't work, there is Unity 5.4 which is only for Ubuntu 12.10 [23:06] pooky5: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-team/staging [23:07] Jordan_U: oh I see how you generate the file list [23:08] Tigerboy: I already try this, bat it doesn't work [23:08] gusg: The command I gave wasn't really complete. Just a minute and I'll give a better description of what you'd actually need to do. [23:09] Pooky5: ok did you try dist-upgrade [23:10] Tigerboy, the oneiric packages are removed from the staging ppa it seems [23:10] f [23:10] Tigerboy: I did, it say there is no upgrade [23:10] Pooky5, Tigerboy http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-unity-5-0-in-ubuntu-11-10/ [23:10] you're all correct I believe [23:11] hm, so where I can get correct version of Unity for ubuntu 11.10? [23:11] Pooky5, Tigerboy probably there was a build failure or something, just hold on for a few days and the packages should be available, [23:11] lubuntu is very nice [23:11] but don't take my word for it [23:11] gusg: I'm a bit busy at the moment, if you can figure out what I was trying to say on your own please do. If not, I don't mind explaining further :) [23:11] hi all [23:11] I couldn't find a direct answer by googling but can Ubuntu see a Nikon Camera without problems and transfer the RAW files aswell as open these right off the bat? Or are programs like UFRaw required for that? [23:11] Amoz: ok, I will wait few days [23:12] Pooky5, you might want to find the unity guys and see if that's the case really [23:13] Jordan_U: thanks. I get the command, but now I'd like to resolve the differences in the directories, but without actually caring about file contents. (I am syncing two music libraries) [23:14] Does anyone here use WMFS? [23:17] miss u guys alot [23:18] nice 2 c u :-) [23:19] Chipzzz, me too [23:26] bye [23:26] all of u [23:26] gusg: "find" with no other arguments prints all the files in the current directory (recursively) but the output is not sorted. "find | sort" sorts the output (we need the filenames sorted to compare them with diff). If you enter one of the directories you're comparing and run "find | sort > /tmp/dir_one_file_list.txt" you will get a sorted list of files from dir one (stored in /tmp/). If you then cd into the second directory and run "find | sort > ... [23:26] (*waves*) [23:26] ... /tmp/dir_two_file_list.txt" you'll get a similar file listing for the second dir. You can then run "diff /tmp/dir_one_file_list.txt /tmp/dir_two_file_list.txt" to see how those file lists differ. [23:27] hi [23:27] how would I disable my display? [23:27] from terminal [23:27] i.e. just turn it off [23:28] Jordan_U: why isn't he just rsyncing the two dirs? [23:29] Chipzzz: I don't know. That's a good point. (feel free to take over, I'm unfortunatly busy at the moment). [23:30] lol... i didn't want to interrupt and assumed he had a reason not to :-) [23:35] Does anyone here use WMFS with Ubuntu 11.10? [23:36] zhuang: looks like awesome a liitle [23:37] following these guidlines -> http://wiki.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nstwiki/index.php/Disk_Images#How_Do_I_Mount_A_Partition_From_A_Disk_Image.3F my sfdisk -> http://pastebin.com/HdkUUcQy , calculate (1536000 * 1024)+(512*63)=1572896256 then do -> losetup -o 1572896256 /dev/loop0 /mnt/drive1/image.dd , then 'mount /dev/loop0/ /mnt/image1, I get -> The device '/dev/loop0' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS ?? anyone know what I missed? [23:38] joker2u: It's much easier to use "sudo kpartx -a /path/to/file.img" [23:39] following these guidlines -> http://wiki.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nstwiki/index.php/Disk_Images#How_Do_I_Mount_A_Partition_From_A_Disk_Image.3F my sfdisk -> http://pastebin.com/HdkUUcQy , calculate (1536000 * 1024)+(512*63)=1572896256 then do -> losetup -o 1572896256 /dev/loop0 /mnt/drive1/image.dd , then 'mount /dev/loop0/ /mnt/image1, I get -> The device '/dev/loop0' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS ?? anyone know what I missed? it calculates the of [23:39] Jordan_U it calculates the offset? [23:40] Jordan_U appologies on the repost, still getting used to ununtu cli [23:40] hmm, hows the upper right, cog menu called? [23:41] or whats the applet/package name [23:41] Jordan_U because -> imageName.dd will do little good since there are 3 partitions inside the image. [23:41] joker2u: It automatically creates not only a loopback device like /dev/loop0, but also creates device nodes for the partitions in /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /dev/mapper/loop0p2 etc. [23:41] ironhalik: system menu, maybe. Or cog menu [23:41] ironhalik: "dash home"? [23:41] Chipzzz: top right, not top left [23:42] joker2u: Then you can "sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0p5 /mnt/" [23:42] ActionParsnip: thx, that will work :) [23:42] there is any way to look for the content of the package if i want to know which package contains vfork.h [23:42] good question [23:43] Neptu: apt-file [23:44] joker2u: Do you understand? [23:44] Neptu: packages.ubuntu.com has a search too [23:47] Guys, would you say that missing hibernation entry in the cog button is a pm-utils issue of the applets? :> [23:48] Jordan_U kpartx is installed and ran the command. where are my mount points now, loop0-3 like magic? [23:49] joker2u: The device nodes (they are not mountpoints) are in /dev/mapper/. [23:50] Jordan_U only thing in /dev/mapper is a mapper/control [23:50] joker2u: What is the exact command you ran? [23:51] Is there a way to lower the disk I/O priority for the whole system? On both my systems (Ubuntu and Fedora), I have complete system lockups that even kills sound daemons, drops all network connections, and likely doesn't even respond to interrupts from the Ethernet card, all solely in favor of freaking swapping memory back and forth from swap (even when the swappiness is set to 15, and there's 200MB free RAM!). [23:51] On my laptop I've even had the whole system lockup, where you couldn't even move the cursor, just because of horrendously overprioritizing the disk I/O [23:51] for 20 minutes [23:52] Jordan_U kpartx -a /mnt/drive1/dd-hack1-image-Ndd2-copy.dd [23:52] Takyoji: how much total RAM? [23:52] hi all. Im trying to boot into memtest, but nothing happens. [23:53] trakinas: hold shift at boot [23:53] like 700MB, in the case of my laptop (which would have 200MB available from allocating overtop disk caches and so on) [23:53] joker2u: Did that command give any output? You seem to have forgotten sudo. [23:53] Takyoji: and you produce this on a few different systems? [23:54] yes, across distros even [23:54] Jordan_U nope, but no error either. [23:54] ActionParsnip, I can select Memtest on Grub`s menu, but it seems like it get stuck. No keyboard, no msg on screen. Just a cursor blinking and "Memtest+ v4.04" on top. [23:54] which I assume is some issues with prioritization in the kernel [23:54] trakinas: try the one on the liveCD [23:54] Takyoji: maybe its a disk issue [23:54] Jordan_U mo log activity either [23:54] no [23:55] It's not the disk itself, I watch iotop whenever either system starts stalling just for disk activity (on request of the programs) [23:55] Takyoji: what mode you in with hdparm -i [23:55] and I have a 2-disk RAID-1 on my desktop [23:55] ActionParsnip, tried the one within Lubuntu 11.04 on my pendrive, but no success. I dont have any iso availble to put into my pendrive. [23:56] hi all. I'm running lucid 10.04 LTS on my netbook & had to upgrade to kernel 3.0.n to fix a power-management issue. not my broadcom BCM4312 wireless is not working & I'm at my wits-end. please help! [23:56] joker2u: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo kpartx -a -v /mnt/drive1/dd-hack1-image-Ndd2-copy.dd"? [23:56] Takyoji: i got nothing [23:57] kieppie lets talk... [23:57] Jordan_U there is none?? :( [23:58] hi, question: how do i get a list of ip addressess of nodes currently connected to my network? [23:58] One second [23:58] tried broadcasting ping, won't work [23:58] trakinas: something you can try is get 4.20 from memtest86+ official site, burn it and boot it, see if any different [23:58] pulse audio nice value is -11 if that a bad thing? [23:58] const_antine: eh, what? Do you want "ifconfig -a" or "netstat"? === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [23:58] const_antine: do you care if its with a windows tool [23:58] humungulous: http://paste.ubuntu.com/857192/ [23:59] humungulous: must be ubuntu [23:59] Jordan_U lsof show nothing controling the file. [23:59] Takyoji: yep youre in udma6 [23:59] muellisoft: no i dont mean list of hosts connected to my computer, i mean the network to which my host is connected to [23:59] const_antine: check ifconfig
