[00:34] hi [00:34] Athanasius its looking. [00:35] anyone know why ubuntu wouldnt show an eSata drive? nothing in dmesg or fdisk but my bios does detect the drive. drive does blink while ubuntu loads. [00:35] wow... here is the result python-dev : Depends: python (= 2.7.1-0ubuntu5) but 2.7.1-0ubuntu5.1 is to be installed [00:36] digitalslave, from past experience I can tell you that different versions of Ubuntu give very different results for eSATA drives. You've tried starting the computer with the drive plugged in yes? [00:36] stiltzkin whe i do that it only appears 4 lines [00:36] Microsoft COrp === daswort is now known as exoplanet [00:36] Linux Foundation [00:36] stiltzkin, yeah and tried hotswap and upgraded my bios in hopes that may be it [00:36] Realtek semicondutor [00:37] Linux foundation 2.0 [00:37] digitalslave, do you have a physical eSATA card/adapter or is this a laptop with integrated eSATA or something like that? === exoplanet is now known as daswort [00:37] stiltzkin, im going to try a live disk as well - downloading now [00:37] a [00:38] fhsales, what else is displayed on that Realtek Semiconductor line [00:38] stiltzkin, asus pt6 deluxe version 2 with onboard eSata port [00:38] hey what is that: http://whatsphere.com/whatsphere4/ ? [00:38] Athanasius: this server has 10s of openVZ containers, searching would take long time, any other way to find the path of the running script? [00:39] digitalslave, yeah I can't offer much in the way of real advice, I've had a very hard time getting my eSATA drive working with my laptop as well. But I'm using a JMicron ExpressCard/eSATA adapter so I focused on getting that to work [00:39] amazing...there's a page for *updating* from eol versions..... [00:39] Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8171 Realtek Semicondutor Corp. [00:39] digitalslave, it seems that different kernels have widely varying levels of support [00:39] amaroks: I'm not sure. You might try "find /root /home /tmp /var/tmp -iname sec" just to search those folders [00:40] stiltzkin, thanks for attempting! figured this would make a nice backup to my raid setup but it's definitely starting to be a struggle [00:41] (i bought a laptop with hoary installed--and it doesn't recognize my floppy) [00:41] digitalslave, if I remember correctly it worked in 8.10 or so, stopped working in 9.x series, started working again in 10.04, and then it hasn't worked since haha. No rhyme or reason to it [00:42] so i'm going to upgrade until i find a version that does, then do a fresh install\ [00:42] i have no other way to creatge boot media [00:42] stiltzkin, haha crap maybe i'll ride it out with USB2 for a while [00:42] digitalslave, that's what I'm doing with my 1tb right now :/ === luffy_mc13 is now known as retrostyle_ [00:43] Athanasius any command to trace process IP ?

[00:44] Is 75c like HOT for a duo core CPU [00:45] Frestorms: yes [00:45] Hi all! I've installed pureftpd and i noticed that if someone downloads (from me) a file, it takes all my upload bandwidth and i can't do anything with internet, is this normal? [00:45] it's beyone me, I've got nothing running for it to be that hot [00:45] because i don't have any way to create a boot medium yet [00:45] Frestorms: check fans are not blowing air the wrong way :) [00:46] once i'm upgraded far enough it'll recognize my floppy and THEN i install latgest === lemurph is now known as lemurph_away [00:46] When should I split a .tar.bz2 file? 4GB? [00:47] bill2012: not sure I understand. Why not just install the latest? It will be much much faster than upgrading [00:47] fhsales, I can't find much information on your card, but it looks like it uses a Realtec rtl819x chip which should be supported in Ubuntu. I'm looking for more information on this. === andy_ is now known as Guest24371 [00:47] right. but to do that i have to do a boot from something. i have no boot media right now. [00:47] stilzkin THANKS! [00:47] got a really wierd problem in ubuntu on ppc, colors are off in all SDL games and in the icons on fluxbox [00:47] bill2012: ah, you can't boot from cd?

[00:49] hi, i am trying to load a .jsp site, called tickettoread.com [00:49] google the wifi dongle model number [00:50] but it won't show any images after i sign in with my user info [00:50] fhsales, try this process: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9125399&postcount=10 [00:50] so i'll just upgrade until i find a version that sees my floppy, create the boot media, and then i do a fresh install to latest [00:50] whisk : wl-167g from asus [00:51] the site shows me that firefox 10 is not supported but that it supports firefox 3 and internet explorer 7, i loaded user agent and it pass system checks but still when i log in it doesn't work and i see no images [00:51] I wanted to know how do i enable javascript in firefox [00:52] I'm using Desktop Sharing for the first time, connecting to a fresh 11.10 desktop from my Mac via Chicken of the VNC. I can control the Ubuntu box's desktop, all right, but all of the windows only open on the real monitor, not on my virtual desktop - which just shows the background, menu bar, etc..? [00:53] ghostnik11, check edit -> preferences -> content -> enable javascript [00:54] stiltzkin, it shows that its enabled, but yet when i log in to tickettoread.com with user name and password, it doesn't load any images [00:54] stiltzkin, it worked before i used update manager to update to firefox 10 [00:55] ghostnik11, showing fine on my machine on Fx 10.0.02...maybe reinstall Firefox? [00:55] whisk : whatnow? :) [00:56] where in xchat do I set up an autoreply to NickServ for my identify? [00:56] stiltzkin, will do a reinstall via synaptic and see if that solves the issue [00:56] ghostnik11, make sure to do a "completely remove" of firefox first to purge any configs that may have been messed up [00:56] what is the best version of ubuntu that is not as laggy or buggy? any suggestions would be helpful [00:57] ghostnik11, as one command you can do "sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox" [00:57] I use two keyboard layouts; swedish and Greek. Now, Greek is stuck on the log-in screen and it won't let me change layout. I cannot make any sudo-commands as I'm on my guest account on my own computer :-( Can anyone help? [00:57] VisualAssassin, it depends on your comp [00:57] VisualAssassin, what are you running on? [00:57] I Use 12.04. [00:58] i am in 10.04 ;network-manager applet icon say i am not connected but i am ,whay happens this? [00:58] aguitel [00:58] when you boot do you get [00:58] Waiting for Network configuration? [00:58] stiltzkin, synaptic is telling me if i do a complete removal it will install chromium automatically, but i don't want that, i need firefox because its for a little kindergartener, who in school is used to firefox [00:58] hello world :) [00:58] I am running on a celeron m with 1.5GBS [00:58] VisualAssassin, what RAM? [00:58] ghostnik11, don't use synaptic, just issue the purge and install commands [00:59] this machine used to have windows vista on it than i got rid of that an installed ubuntu 10.04 and I have upgraded to 11.04 i think but its a little laggy [00:59] i think it is ddr2, i upgraded a while ago and cant remember [00:59] anyone that has got a clue on how to solve layout problem on login? [01:00] the instructions say, "If you run a -desktop version of ubuntu...." how do i tell if i am? [01:00] stiltzkin, even running the commands via terminal still says chromium will be installed but will just do it, then run sudo apt-get install firefox after the purge even though chromium will be installed [01:01] hey people [01:01] i need some help [01:01] does chromium still have a ton of mem leaks? [01:01] amaroks: Possibly, but I'm not sure how [01:02] I'm a little rusty on linux CLI [01:02] Audacious, the music player, won't let me edit the track info. Says I don't have permission. What to do? [01:02] stiltzkin, okay command just finished in terminal will see if it works now [01:03] problems with layout configuration at login. Anyone who would like to troubleshoot? [01:03] hey people [01:03] can someone help me? [01:04] !anyone | fhsales [01:04] fhsales: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [01:04] cordyceps: well, maybe you don't have the permissions. You can probably edit them using the file manager [01:05] the instructions say, "If you run a -desktop version of ubuntu...." how do i tell if i am? [01:05] stiltzin, still doesn't work, will try chromium to see if the .jsp website will actually load [01:05] bill2012: can you click stuff, then yes ;-) [01:05] there are several listings of wine in ubuntu software center, If I want to run World of Warcraft, which one should I download? [01:05] capslock286: hm. What exactly are "layout problems"? [01:06] heh. well, actually, i still need to know *which* -desktop version [01:06] Hi all; I'm running lubuntu 11.10 on a dell inspiron. Sometime in the last day, my microphone has stopped working. I've run through the obvious things, played with alsamixer and pavucontrol, reinstalled the OS, cleaned the plug in case it had clear nailpolish on it... no good. Here is the alsa report, which I understand may be useful. Halp? http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=306da35832559ecef3fa9c71022caa96728fbc09 [01:06] I'm stuck on Greek layout at login and cannot change it even with sudo commands as my keyboard layout in is stuck on Greek alhabet, which is different than latin. [01:06] I don't know krycom, but I'd just the most appealing one and try. I don't think you can mess things up with that. [01:06] bill2012: lsb_release -a or so. [01:06] Muelli: these are mp3s, the file manager give the correct title, but the so-called track info is differnt. How do I give myself permission please? [01:07] cordyceps: hm. Can't you right click the file in the file manager and then edit permissions? [01:07] capslock286: you mean during login you have a greek keyboard layout? I.e. you can't enter your password correctly/ [01:07] does anybody knows how to configure wireless connection on ubuntu 10.04? [01:07] I just installed apache2, haven't touched any configurations yet, what do I need to do to make the server accessible from WAN? [01:08] fhsales: yes. [01:08] Zaitzev: that should be it. [01:08] Muelli: That's correct. [01:08] Muelli: Apparently it's not working [01:08] Zaitzev: you can check with "netstat -tulpen" on which interfaces apache is listening. [01:08] Zaitzev: how do you know it's not working? [01:09] capslock286: hm. And do you know whether you use GDM or lightdm? [01:09] Muelli: i worked it out some commands to make ubuntu recognize my usb wireless adapter. it seemed to work. In the end it says device is not ready.what should i do now? [01:09] capslock286: at least GDM should support switching the layout. I don't know about lightdm. But I'd consider it a bug if it didn't [01:09] hm [01:09] nvm [01:09] Muelli: I use te standard login sceen manager in 12.04 [01:09] it just tells me that i'm running hoary....which i already knew. [01:09] fhsales: who says "device not ready"? [01:09] so, i got a quick question about ubuntu [01:09] What programs can I use for widgets on my desktop? [01:09] somehow, python kinda broke apt-get [01:10] I've got permission, their in Music. The titles in the file mgr are correct. BUT when I right click the audacious line, the so called track-into is incorrect. It's editable but I can't save it. [01:10] I've been using conky but its not as nice as I thought [01:10] capslock286: oh, then #ubuntu+1 is probably the appropriate channel [01:10] how can i download firefox 9 or 8 for ubuntu because firefox 10 won't let my kindergartener go on her tickettoread.com website to do her work [01:10] muelli: thanks, [01:10] *track info [01:10] Look at this: [01:10] "asa victim of male circumcisio nand male genital mutilation thsis whoel god dman coutnry its goverments and its relgions can literall ycrumble into hell and rot for all i care" [01:11] ghostnik11: you can check available versions with "apt-cache policy firefox". I doubt an older version will be available though. [01:11] Muelli, in the top right corner of my desktop there is a connection icon. when i put my mouse on it, it appears wireless networks: device not ready [01:11] benois: ot [01:11] fhsales: hm.

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [01:12] the usual way ls -l [01:12] cordyceps: and what does it say on the file in question? [01:12] Muelli, yeah i did the command in terminal and it only shows firefox 10, but firefox 10 is the problem, because on chromium the site works when i put in her login info, but in ff10 it doesn't load anything after she puts in her login info [01:13] muelli Realtek 8192 SU chipset [01:13] Muelli, i wish i never updated to this new ff10 [01:13] Muelli Realtek 8192SU chipset [01:13] hey guys i was just wondering what software package controls screen brightness? [01:13] hola ubuntu [01:13] ghostnik11: well. I think you have to somehow get an older version then. Can't really help with that. Compiling it on your own is very tough. [01:14] !info xbacklight | Erealz [01:14] Erealz: xbacklight (source: xbacklight): simple utility to set the backlight level. In component universe, is optional.

I think that should work then. So what I'd do, is to pull the stick out, reboot, do a dmesg -c, plug it in, and pastebin the result of a new "dmesg -c" [01:15] Muelli, the thing is i think its closed because when i do a search in google i only get firefox 10 versions [01:15] bump for a missing mic? [01:16] what package provides /usr/bin/phonet-at ? [01:16] What is the x window system I want to run to get a bare xserver with nothing in it? [01:16] ghostnik11: well. What can I say? If you're not able to find an old version, there's probably little we can do for you. I don't know where to get firefox support from. [01:16] hi, after every reboot, the /etc/resolv.conf becomes empty. I have to give nameserver manually. my current interfaces setup: http://pastebin.com/4GuVFJ8V what is the problem? thanks. [01:16] Muelli, dmesg -c is a command i should put in the terminal? and what is pastebin? i never used ubuntu before.:) [01:16] ghostnik11: but well, it's probably a bug in firefox if it used to work but doesn't anymore.

[01:19] here is the output: http://pastebin.com/mpRAfEuy [01:19] i really appreciate it, i am out of ideas [01:20] Um, a little help here please? http://pastebin.com/3SSdCiTF [01:20] synner: can you fully quote your shell please, i.e. including the command you've run === christopher is now known as Guest5489 [01:20] why cant i get voice on ##linux ?? [01:20] oops sorry... anyway, i know unix, not ubuntu, so i can't help beyond that [01:20] synner: just like Halexander9000 just did it. Very well done : [01:20] ) [01:20] http://pastie.org/3492862 << this is my /etc/init/openvpn.conf [01:21] Muelli: What did I just do? [01:21] synner: hm. looks like it's b0rken. Try a apt-get update [01:21] another problem is the network settings, all options are grayed out. I can not edit it for my card. why? [01:21] When I type service openvpn start, it hangs (stdin still seems to work) - the status of the service is running, but the exec command is never executed. [01:21] Halexander9000: you pasted a nice shell quote :) [01:21] Can somebody point me in the right direction here? [01:21] Muelli [01:21] i tried apt-get update [01:21] (Already send HUP to init with kill in case the inotify interface didnt work properly to let know about the file) [01:21] Muelli: Thank you. [01:22] guysss, what is this command: /usr/sbin/dae [01:22] Halexander9000: FWIW: you can use GNOME-Shell to record your desktop (with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R IIRC) or Istanbul. [01:22] Muelli i have done that. i dont understand a thing it is written, but it appears in the end the OS is trying to download the firmware.but i do not have internet on that computer. [01:22] i also tried manually installing packages (dpkg -i). I also tried installing/reinstalling. I also did apt-get -f install [01:22] synner: can you pastebin us the (full!) output of apt-get update? [01:22] sure [01:22] Muelli: What what? [01:22] fhsales: well. bad then. [01:23] Halexander9000: you try to record your screen, no? And it fails. I've just mentioned alternatives to ffmpeg's screenrecord. [01:23] http://pastie.org/3492862 << this is my /etc/init/openvpn.conf - when I try to start the service via `service openvpn start' it hangs, the exec command is never executed. But upstart *thinks* the process is running. Already tried `kill -HUP 1' with no luck [01:23] hello, gnome-launchers cannot trigger firefox, how can I make them do that [01:23] errrr [01:23] whops, sorry for reposting. [01:23] bump - can anyone help me get my microphone working? It's important since my computer is my phone :o [01:24] Muelli: ffmpeg is the alternative here, and I'm trying to make is work. [01:24] Muelli: My machine, in case you're wondering is an ASUS EEE PC 904HD from 2008. [01:24] Halexander9000: sorry. I don't know anything about that. I used istanbul or GNOME-shell and it used to just work. [01:24] Muelli: I used the gtk-recordmydesktop to record a gaming session on a 640 by 480 screen with stereo audio in an .ogv file. [01:24] They were triggering chromium when it was installed [01:24] Muelli: full apt-get update / install : http://pastebin.com/n7TEuKBN [01:24] Muelli: That file plays just fine, and it uploads and plays on youtube just as well. [01:24] Do I have to escape the space in the if statement here: if [ -e "$cydiaPath/Sections/bAd *" ] [01:24] mayko: hm. maybe check pa-prefs and alsamixer. [01:24] what's wrong with my firefox installation? [01:24] Muelli: But when I try to edit it, Kdenlive and OpenShot, both don't even play the file properly in the preview window, much less render it without artifacts. Same thing happens when I try to convert it. [01:24] Its checking if a file with bAd(space)* exists, is it correct how i've done it? [01:25] oh, okay Halexander9000. Sorry. No idea. [01:25] Halexander9000: Hah, i use an eee901! [01:25] anyone any ideas? network settings are not editable. DNS gets reset to empty in every reboot. ubuntu 11.10. use static ip with the configuration of interfaces file. thanks. [01:25] Muelli: That's why I'm trying ffmpeg. I've been recompiling and unmaking all day long for the past two days. I'm sick of it. [01:25] Muelli: I have tried alsamixer and pulseaudio. When I open pulseaudio the mic is unmuted, but even when turned all the way up the levels bar is dead. [01:25] orlok: Can you record your own desktop and edit the resulting video file? [01:26] jep JosephHarrietha. Bonuspoints if you do smth like "${variable}/ ..." [01:26] ed: when I open pavucontrol [01:26] sgo11: It sounds like some unwanted process is "hijacking" your configuration files and changing them back. Which filesystem are you using? [01:26] Halexander9000: I would not try... [01:26] mayko: and you plugged the mic in? ;-) [01:26] sgo11, did you set the dns in your /etc/resolv.conf? [01:26] sgo11: well. You probably run NetworkManager, no? I guess it overwrites that stuff for you. [01:27] orlok: You have an SSD right? I have a 160 HDD but I doubt the hardware differs in any other aspect. So why not? [01:27] Muelli: the microphone is plugged in, in the mic hole, and unmuted. [01:27] Muelli: It shouldnt. [01:27] norc, ext4. I don't really agree that. I think it's networkmanager problem. [01:27] fhsales, any luck with that card? [01:27] sgo11: Want an overkill workaround? [01:27] !sound | mayko [01:27] mayko: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [01:27] rattatoue, inside that file, it says "# Generated by NetworkManager". I edited it. then reboot. become empty. [01:28] norc, not really. I think it's network manager problem. [01:28] sgo11, you could turn off the write permission of that file once you have it set, that way nothing could change it [01:28] Muelli, I think I run networkmanager. [01:28] stiltzkin it says device not ready [01:28] sgo11: yeah, it's the default. So configure NetworkManager then, I'd say [01:28] Muelli, Heh, thank you [01:29] sgo11: Well, I'd write what I need into the file, mark it as immutable, kick back and watch a movie. [01:29] rattatoue, it's a workaround. I can do that. but it doesn't really solve the problem. [01:29] sgo11: Note, *that* is overkill though. ;) [01:29] Is it possible to change the menu bar at the top to always show the different menus? [01:29] rattatoue: That wont be enough. [01:29] hm synner. Looks like your installation goes mad. What does apt-cache policy python{,-minimal} say? [01:29] I find it a bit confusing to have to hover over them first [01:29] rattatoue: You need to mark it immutable, because applications can and sometimes even do adapt file permissions in order to change that. Since he uses ext4 which supports immutable - that'd be the way to do it. [01:29] !networkmanager | sgo11 [01:29] sgo11: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [01:29] Muelli, how to configure networkmanager? in the panel --> network settings, every option is grayed out. in nm-nework-editor, the edit buttion is grayed out. [01:30] Muelli, is that because I edit interfaces file by root for static IP? [01:30] norc, I have used the file permissions way without any problem even on ext4. When I had the same prob he is having. So yes it does work. [01:30] yeah sgo11, probably because it somehow thinks it's a managed interface. Probably because you messed around with it [01:31] Guys, is orlok really dead? [01:31] here is the output ofthe apt-cache: http://pastebin.com/uzH8VZNY [01:31] who? [01:31] sgo11: maybe check files in /etc/NetworkManager/ whether they look alright. If you're keen, you can also try to reset NetworkManager configuration, i.e. with smth like dpkg-reconfigure -p low networkmanager or so. Don't know really how to do it. [01:31] well. I think I will try something. will get offline for now. back later. thanks. [01:31] So, does anyone have any idea for my upstart problem? [01:32] Muelli, ok. let me try something first. will be back soon. :) === shadowh511 is now known as pinkiepie === owner__ is now known as Guest88217 [01:32] sudo rm -rf /tptb [01:32] hm synner.

Here is my alsa report if it helps: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=306da35832559ecef3fa9c71022caa96728fbc09 [01:34] well mayko. Has the mic ever worked? [01:35] hm synner. Interesting how you managed to screw that up ;-) Lemme think... [01:35] Yes. it abruptly stopped sometime yesterday. [01:35] eh, synnern. WTF? Why do you have stuff in /usr/local/?! [01:35] synner: ^^ [01:36] i am in /usr/local because i wanted to make sure that python is a symlink to python2.7 [01:36] i dont mind moving to /home/myUser [01:36] hm mayko. weird then. If you've checked everything, including alsamixer and pavucontrol and pa-prefs, I am out of ideas, sorry. [01:36] ok thanx [01:36] synner: yes. please. Do you remember having done smth similar/ [01:37] http://whatsphere.com/whatsphere4/ [01:37] may I suspect that to be SPAM? [01:37] i did it this morning. i had the apt-get GUI [01:37] and i clicked yes [01:37] not even command line or anything [01:38] http://whatsphere.com/whatsphere4 http://whatsphere.com/whatsphere4/ [01:38] oops [01:38] wrong channel [01:38] Muelli are you still there? here is the pastebin from before i put the usb wireless http://paste.ubuntu.com/862799/ [01:38] synner, check in /usr/local/bin/ and see if there is a python executable in there or not. Please. [01:38] fhsales: after you've plugged it in is more important ;-) [01:38] well synner. please move all /usr/local out of the way for now. === Ttech is now known as BroTech [01:39] rattatoue: There is one [01:39] so, i should move it? [01:39] synner: yes. everything. [01:39] if you type 420 in google as he is your friend you will find it out [01:39] synner, just temporary rename it to something else [01:39] done [01:39] ok [01:39] Muelli here is the after http://paste.ubuntu.com/862802/ [01:39] g++-4.4 is dependant on libstdc++6-4.4-dev and vis versa [01:39] ^^.

You screwed up. We solved it ;-) [01:41] how come? [01:41] how could i have it in there? [01:42] synner, im curious which command? mine or muellis [01:42] synner: because you put stuff in /usr/local/ [01:42] Rattatoue: yours [01:42] fhsales: can you pastebin us "apt-cache policy linux-firmware" and "dpkg --listfiles linux-firmware"? [01:42] synner, glad you got it working. This way for furture reference. [01:43] Muelli, i will go out now, but i will be back in a few minutes. [01:43] wow [01:43] thanks [01:43] synner, no problem. I write python scripts too. So I know errors like that can be pains [01:43] fhsales: well. You need to have this package installed. If you haven't, get it from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/linux-firmware/download [01:43] g++-4.4 is dependant on libstdc++6-4.4-dev and vis versa and neither will install [01:43] i login to the server as root, and try to change user with "su foo". ~/.profile of user foo is not read. how can check what can be the error? [01:43] !details | Raymond_ [01:43] Raymond_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

[01:44] krnl: does that happen with "sudo -i" or "sudo -s", too? [01:45] Muelli, g++-4.4 is dependant on libstdc++6-4.4-dev and vis versa and neither will install, i am using 10.04 LTS [01:45] :) [01:46] sorry Raymond_. But that's not detailed at all. Again: What are you doing, what happens and what have you expected instead === enchilado is now known as brolado [01:46] :0 [01:46] Muelli: i try to change to user "foo" and not *do* something with it. i would like to use su instead of su. or did i misunderstand you? "su -s foo" says "Cannot execute foo: No such.." [01:46] Does anybody know which apt-get package has the largest dependency tree? [01:46] and invalid option for "-i" [01:46] krnl: "sudo -s -u foo" and "sudo -i -u foo' [01:46] muelli, both programs are dependent on each other and will not install [01:47] sorry Raymond_. But that's not detailed at all. Again: What are you doing, what happens and what have you expected instead [01:47] muelli, are you a bot? [01:47] * krycek 420!!! [01:47] Muelli: with "-i" it works, thanks a lot! [01:48] what sudo su [01:48] :) no krnl [01:48] Muelli, rattatoue, norc, just FYI. I have solved the network problem. The problem is basically caused by editing /etc/network/interfaces file by me/root manually. NetworkManager can not edit the interfaecs file. so everything in NetworkManager is grayed out and it can not set DNS properly. what I did is: (1) remove all configs about eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces with sudo (2) reboot and re-configure eth0 by using NetworkManager interface. it will save this [01:48] config in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. after then, everything works fine. [01:48] sudo -i then exit then sudo -i then exit then sudo -i [01:48] sgo11: :) As I've said. [01:48] sgo11, glad it all works! [01:48] Muelli, rattatoue thanks. ^_^ [01:49] My toshiba laptop overheats like crazy, happens in 11.10 and 12.04, but not windows. It seems this a known bug but I can't find a solution. Can someone point me to a starting place? [01:50] muelli, both .deb programs are dependent on each other and the dependency recommendation is the other program for both programs [01:50] The bugzilla4 package is available for Natty. I've installed it. But I can't find anything about it on packages.ubuntu.com [01:51] dpkg -i --force-install foo.deb bar.deb [01:51] both .deb programs are dependent on each other and the dependency recommendation is the other program for both programs [01:51] Worked in the past for me [01:52] want to ensure that my HD is named the same /dev/sda each time on boot. Seems my machine randomly assigns it either sda or sdf, this makes for issues with mapping raw devices for VirtualBox (Solaris ZFS Raidz) ... Fun times [01:52] Raymond_: It's called a circular dependency and shouldn't happen. Report it as a bug. [01:52] sponix: check udev rules. [01:52] norc, thx [01:53] Raymond_: although I wonder, which is the current stable version in ubuntu of gcc? [01:53] Muelli: I know nothing of udev rules, take it you are saying that is what I need to research to force the device naming ? [01:54] norc, i downloaded from packages.ubuntu.com the one for lucid [01:54] Raymond_: .......... [01:54] Raymond_: How are you installing this? [01:54] lol [01:54] norc, its a .deb [01:54] sponix: yes. Although I'm quite surprised that udev gives you random names. I though we were past this.. So yeah, check /etc/udev/rules.d/, there will probably be rules which assign names to devices [01:54] Raymond_: What's wrong with apt-get? [01:54] Raymond_: It handles all the dependencies like magic. [01:54] norc, no internet connection [01:54] Raymond_: Give me a second [01:55] norc, i am installing ndiswrapper [01:55] Omni|Work: you must have adding a ppa for it, possibly related bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bugzilla/+bug/919628 (see comment #1) [01:55] Launchpad bug 919628 in bugzilla (Ubuntu) "Very outdated version of bugzilla" [Wishlist,New] [01:55] is there a way to open accdb files with openoffice on ubuntu? anyone know anything?

[01:57] That explains it. :-/ [01:57] Raymond_: Obviously there's the possibility to install from CD repositories, but there's a neater package that produces shell scripts that download the packages required, which you can put on an USB drive, execute on another machine, plug the USB drive into your old machine, and it will use that as a repository. [01:57] * norc has to remember its name [01:58] Raymond_: apt-zip [01:58] Linux noobie looking for some advice on creating a script to run at boot time. I have a custom program that I run with "./cdserv foldername &" .. it basically runs a server application that listens on a port, and since they are started in putty, it needs the & to tell it to keep running after putty closes. [01:59] GaryDev: can you be more specific with 'boot time' ? [01:59] I have the script made in init.d and I can run it... and it does "run" the software, but I can't exit putty and keep it running... [02:00] norc, thankyou [02:00] what is the syntax for using the --exclude flag in tar? [02:00] is there a way to open accdb files with openoffice on ubuntu? anyone know anything? [02:00] GaryDev: Use upstart. [02:00] GaryDev: and ignore init.d [02:00] we run an old msn zone type server.. game lobbies for playing crimson skies etc... [02:00] upstart? sorry, never heard of that.. (my bad...) [02:01] GaryDev: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [02:01] GaryDev: It's what you want. :) [02:01] and its much easier and comfortable to use and less convoluted than the alternatives [02:01] I will look at it, thanks kindly for the advice [02:02] like I say, I can run the script.. but it seems to ignore the & part, so when I exit, the software also stops [02:03] and of course, the server has no GUI part to it... === brolado is now known as enchilado [02:03] is there a way to open accdb files with openoffice on ubuntu? anyone know anything? [02:05] takumi: No luck if you want to use the native openoffice afaik. [02:05] *native linux openoffice [02:07] takumi: Reason is you need some proprietary software from Microsoft to open them, which only work on windows and are proprietary/closed source [02:07] i have libre office but accdb isnt an option... [02:07] noroc... reading the docs and stuff. I don't want to change any of the ubuntu LTS starting items, do I *have* to change everything to work with upstart, or can I just use it to start our lobby software at boot time? [02:07] i was able to open it on my windows pc with openoffce before i installed access [02:09] takumi: Yes, because you probably have the right drivers installed [02:09] takumi: specifically these: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=23734 [02:09] takumi: You could try wine + OpenOffice + that driver package. === tommyvyo_ is now known as tommyvyo [02:10] * krycek lights it ### ###### ######### ## #### [02:11] sup all. would anyone be able to tell me what version of python comes ported on the latest version of ubuntu? i'm running 10.04 LTS, and I'm curious as to when the switch Python 3.x occur [02:11] hello, when chromium installed xdg-open mygnomedesktoplauncher.desktop opened in chromium, when uninstalled chromium xdg-open mygnomedesktoplauncher.desktop does not open the url in launcher file in firefox. how can I fix that? [02:12] MrKeuner: err. what? [02:12] bitjix: embrace http://packages.ubuntu.com/ :) [02:13] norc, familiar with xdg-open? [02:13] MrKeuner: Yes. [02:13] norc, where can I set what url handler it uses? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [02:14] norc, I'd like gnome launchers tirh url location to launch in firefox [02:14] s/tirh/with [02:14] MrKeuner: Look at xdg-open to see what it does. [02:15] MrKeuner: But IIRC its an environment variable $BROWSER [02:16] MrKeuner: ah well thats ugly. apparently you should simply use update-alternatives [02:16] norc, x-www-browser? [02:16] MrKeuner: yes [02:17] i see that packages for python 3 and 2 are available. but which one will be default? [02:18] norc, set that one already, also gnome-www-browser [02:18] bitjix: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all [02:18] norc, does not help [02:18] bitjix: Its pretty obvious. [02:19] norc: ahh. sorry i didn't see the "default version" in the description [02:19] thanks though [02:19] MrKeuner: mhm, they use different mechanics then, just try the $BROWSER environment variable - I believe thats what xdg-open uses [02:19] norc, http://pastebin.com/asWRy87h this is the launcher file I am trying to open [02:20] bitjix: for a more generic overview across distribution versions, just use `any' rather than `oneiric' like I did: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [02:20] export BROWSER="/usr/bin/firefox"; xdg-open test.desktop still opens in gedit instead of firefox [02:21] norc: I tried to grab upstart using webmin, but apparently it is already installed in the distro from the ISP... no clue where it is or how to use it.. looking at the 'cookbook' [02:21] GaryDev: upstart is one of the core components of ubuntu :) [02:22] there ya go... sucks being a linux noobie [02:23] norc, xdg-open "http://www.google.com" open in firefox, xdg-open mylauncher.desktop does not [02:23] MrKeuner: That's MIME specific for the mylauncher.desktop file then [02:23] MrKeuner: Sorry didn't read carefully. [02:24] norc, can you elaborate a bit more? [02:24] this is too complex... *screams* === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [02:24] GaryDev: Well it's extremely powerful. But to get an idea, just open /etc/init/cron.conf [02:25] GaryDev: That's what a very simplistic job looks like, which can be manually started and stopped via `service cron start' or `service cron stop' << cron is deduced from the filename /etc/init/cron.conf [02:26] GaryDev: In all likelihood that's what your service should look like (except `exec cron' will be `exec command-to-be-executed' in your case) if you don't need any of the fancy facilities that upstart has to offer [02:27] is there a standard for url launchers in ubuntu? [02:27] MrKeuner: give me a second [02:28] norc: I used to be a wiz in dos and cp/m... I could never grasp linux. Most of my problem comes from not knowing just the simple basics. These things you talk about, you know... and are totally greek to me. ... but I will look at the files you said, and see if I can make sense of them [02:29] MrKeuner: /usr/share/applications (or ~/.local/share/applications) contains the file associations that xdg-open uses [02:29] (if it's not an URL) [02:30] GaryDev: the /etc/init/cron.conf is extremely simple :) [02:30] norc, /usr/share/applications/defaults.list? [02:30] MrKeuner: for example. [02:31] Hey all, just noticed that sending a running apt-get upgrade to background using ctrl-z makes it stop. Is it planned that way? I'm on Maverick btw === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [02:31] norc, what sort of line should I be looking in there? text/html? [02:32] thelodger, ^z suspends the process [02:32] simple... if you understand it. :( [02:32] MrKeuner: check your /etc/mime.types to see [02:32] it doesn't background it [02:32] norc, for this file... http://pastebin.com/asWRy87h [02:32] MrKeuner: or more generally xdg-mime [02:32] thelodger, if you want to background it, run bg % where is the number of the job [02:33] thelodger, you can see running jobs with the jobs command [02:33] MrKeuner: coincidentally xdg-mime can also set the default application [02:33] (for a mimetype) [02:33] Does anybody understands on configuring wireless networks? [02:34] thelodger, conversely you can foreground it with fg %, or disown it (separating it completely from the shell) by disown % [02:34] hello Ufellows! [02:34] GaryDev: What part about it dont you understand? [02:34] thelodger, does that make sense? [02:35] tensorpudding, Doh! Thanks for that, for some reason I thought ^z sent it to the background while still running =/ Shows how much I use it =) [02:36] hi, how can I convert .ttc to .ttf? thanks. [02:36] everything. I'm frustrated beyond belief. I've been programming and fixing and building computers for 30 years. I've never HAD to deal with linux until now... I just want to start something and have it run in the background at boot time [02:36] I can't believe what just happened to me. I really need your help. I was installing U. 11.10 and chose the option "updgrade from 11.04", the installation got stuck (all the files were copied) on the keyboard selection. I had not other choice but to force power off, now I have a guess account but NONE of my previous files are there. Help!!! where would they be? [02:36] Is anyone by any chance familiar with a bug like this: http://i.imgur.com/19nWL.png <--- This affect all user account. This problem appeared ever since I installed pidgin-libnotify and it's dependency, hours later, I come back to find my unity tray all messed up. [02:37] linux is tha shiz!@# sorry to hear that you have deal with linux :( gl [02:38] oh [02:38] tha is the me lol [02:38] GaryDev: Why Linux? o_O [02:39] GaryDev: was it microsoft you where working on before linux was dropped in your lap? [02:39] linux runs our game lobby servers... [02:39] cool [02:39] fachex, this may not be a good suggestion. I am newbie too. maybe you can try sudo apt-get -f install # while internet connected. [02:39] GaryDev, you cannot motivate people here to help you getting angry with their toys [02:39] GaryDev: description should be obvious. start on/stop on defines which runlevel it starts and stops at (for a normal ubuntu user runlevel 2 means running system), expect fork tells upstart that the process will be forked (into a new process), respawn will make sure the process will respawn if it dies, and exec defines the command to be started. [02:39] and you drift the servers? [02:39] ya.. I do a lot in VB and C/C++ and some dot net applications [02:40] sgo11, what would that do? [02:40] please, please don't tell me I lost my files [02:40] Does unity 5 need to use a specific upgraded kernel to use before upgrading to unity 5? [02:41] fachex, -f just fix broken dependencies. if there is a broken dependencies, it will install from online repo. [02:41] fachex: you lost your files ;( [02:41] fachex: What filesystem are you using? [02:41] -.- [02:41] norc whatever U11.10 uses by defoult [02:41] default [02:42] they should be somewhere [02:42] fachex: that should be some ext3 or ext4, which use a journal. a mere power-off will not have damaged your filesystem in any way. [02:42] fachex, you'd better check if your home directories etc... still there or not. you may need to mount harddrive manually.... [02:42] when I login to putty, I do a "cd /opt3/dbsservers" then I enter "./cdserv crimson &" and then "./cdserv mechgold &" and repeat that for each game server I want to run [02:42] well this is the problem [02:42] does anyone knows how to configure Wireless connections? [02:42] fachex: Search for them on the entire harddrive. Files dont magically disappear. [02:42] I was installing U. 11.10 and chose the option "updgrade from 11.04", the installation got stuck (all the files were copied) on the keyboard selection. I had not other choice but to force power off, now I have a guess account but NONE of my previous files are there. Help!!! where would they be? [02:42] fachex: Why are you repeating your problem... [02:43] I know, I am extremely stupied for not backing up my files [02:43] GaryDev: add the script to /etc/rc.local and it'll run at boot [02:43] I trusted Ubuntu [02:43] I can get the script I made to execute... but it just doesn't parse or do anything with the & command to run in the background [02:43] fachex: If you wish people to put you on your ignore list, repeat that question again. [02:43] GaryDev: Pretty much. If your goal is to start up servers. [02:43] .sh [02:43] thinking that it would keep my files as it said it would [02:43] krycek: stop that. [02:44] GaryDev: Ok so you have a script that you want to be executed when the system starts up? [02:44] oh sry 00 [02:44] I've been on linux for a few years, our old server was fedora and was solid for 200 days or more. Our new ISP has been having mega hiccups every 4 days, so I just want to start the things needed.. Did one for teamspeak3, and it works... [02:44] norc it was not my intention, I thought you might not have read it and it was trying to update you. [02:45] I have the script.. I can run it manually... I know the commands to be used LATER to add it into the boot process [02:45] fachex: Well I will tell you again. Files dont magically appear. And a power-off will not cause any files on your filesystem to disappear because it uses a journal to prevent exactly that. [02:45] GaryDev: Does that script start anything permanent like a service? [02:46] if the script would JUST run in the background, life would be perfect... (or run the software we run) [02:46] not a service persay no... [02:46] fachex, can you login with guest account? what df -h gives you? and sudo fdisk -l gives you? show them in a pastebin. [02:46] norc, any idea on how to get them back? you are right U did not format my drive, I hope..I thought i was just replacing the system files [02:46] how do i change where the nfs kernel server logs to? [02:46] GaryDev: Copy the cron job from /etc/init/cron.conf, remove the `expect fork', adapt the description accordingly, and change the command AFTER `exec' to execute your script. Then put that file into /etc/init/ [02:46] sgo11, Yes I can login [02:46] GaryDev: thats it. magic done. [02:47] it is a "server", in that it comunicates packets that are just text [02:47] norc: I can try that [02:47] GaryDev: If the script itself however forks, make sure you keep the `expect fork' [02:47] fachex, I think if you want help. you'd better provide more detail information. 'df -h' and 'sudo fdisk -l' may give some advice. just a tip. :) [02:47] the files are not in the home folder [02:47] on system-a where does are atempts from other systems to mount exports logged? [02:47] so, they might be somewhere lese [02:47] else [02:48] ok., I will do that sg11 [02:48] GaryDev: make sure you name the file in the format of foo.conf (foo being the name of your service) inside /etc/init/ [02:48] i.e. on the machine i am sitting at, where does it log success/fail messages for clients trying to mount this machine's exports? === Omni|Work is now known as Omni|AFK [02:49] GaryDev: and if you dont want the script to be started again if for *some* reason it exits/get killed, remove the `respawn' as well. [02:49] sgo11, fdisk -l returns nothing [02:49] anyone know how to convert .ttc to .ttf ? mayb how to uncompress .ttc? thanks. [02:49] fachex, 'sudo fdisk -l' ? [02:50] hi [02:50] not sure if guest account can do sudo .... [02:50] norc: our program must be run in the folder it is located, because it then parses the input line for the lobby it has to run.. so I would "exec cd /opts/dbsservers" and then "exec ./cdserv foldername &" [02:50] never use guest account by myself. [02:50] nope, it cant [02:50] how to setu he coolors on x chat ? [02:50] sgo11, no it cannot [02:50] but df -h did return something [02:50] GaryDev: no [02:50] GaryDev: use the chdir stanza :) [02:51] GaryDev: add line before the exec line `chdir /foo/bar/whatever' [02:51] fachex, just show what it returns in pastebin [02:51] ah, ok.. I am understanding a *bit* more [02:51] GaryDev: Refer to http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:errnJulRY9kJ:upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas+upstart+chdir&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=de&client=firefox-a to see a compact list of the available stanzas === elijah is now known as Guest14991 [02:51] ok, sgo11, give me a second, I am in another machine chatting [02:52] how can i escape a " " space character in a pathname in the fstab file for an nfs mount that has a space in the filename? [02:52] hey people [02:52] GaryDev: (Its kind of outdated, but for the most part it should be fine) [02:52] can someone help me out ? [02:52] etyrnal: `\ ' maybe? [02:52] fhsales: what's going on? [02:52] fachex, sure. but I think you really need sudo or root account. otherwise, you can not do anything. maybe other people know how to do that in guest account... [02:52] thanks. [02:52] hspcd i am trying to make my usb wireless work. [02:53] norc: your patience with me has been wonderful, I thank you for that. With the experience I have, I *should* be able to do better... I don't know why linux is such a "lock" for me in learning it [02:53] norc, that works from the cli to mount manually, but it seems whatever reads the fstab lines doesn't like it [02:53] hspcd but in terminal it says it cant download the firmware. i will send a paste [02:53] i tried \040 also [02:53] fhsales: can you tell me make, model and symptoms? [02:54] GaryDev: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man5/init.5.html << this is actually the better short reference [02:54] etyrnal: oh in that case wrap the whole thing into quotes? [02:54] I'm facing an issue in Unity where my Unity launcher icons all have a progress bar on it, and are spread far apart from other unity launcher icons. === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [02:55] sgo11, here it goes http://pastebin.com/ajhQzYVG [02:55] norc: maybe that's why I have such a hard time... if manpages were called womenpages, I might want to read them more... :P Thanks for the info [02:55] etyrnal: Ohh nevermind. Use the \040 octal sequence as space for fstab :-) [02:55] hspcd it is a elsys EWU-2n35a, actually it is a Realtek 8192SU. i tried some commands to make linux recognize it.but in the end ubuntu says in desktop that device is not ready. [02:56] hspcd i am trying to use the dmesg -c on terminal but it aint working. [02:56] Hi! [02:56] fhsales: just type in dmesg [02:56] Also, when I logout/login back using Unity, all my icons then become invisible. :( [02:56] fachex, that shows you have 229G for /. is that all what you have in your previous linux installation before update? [02:56] GaryDev: Just make sure to use `expect fork' **if and only if** your command forks. [02:56] fhsales: what version of ubuntu are you using? [02:57] (if and only if it forks exactly once that is) [02:57] hspcd when i type sudo dmesg -c nothing happens [02:57] norc, thanks. trying now. [02:57] How can i install wine 1.0 instead of 1.2? Can someone suggest? [02:57] GaryDev: If it does not fork at all, no line. If it forks once, use expect fork. If it forks twice, use expect daemon. Just FYI [02:58] norc: I don't know what "forks" means to be honest... anything we do, is always done in the one directory, the program makes internet calls and database calls... [02:58] fhsales: don't use the -c option [02:58] hspcd ok understood. [02:59] ? [02:59] norc: and the program is run once, for each game server it 'listens' to, on a defined port [02:59] GaryDev: When a process forks it creates a copy of itself, which then runs as a child process [02:59] GaryDev: I certainly hope you're not planning on adding multiple services for that :p [03:00] hspcd maybe it is happening because i am installing a driver? [03:00] GaryDev: That child process then is free to do something different while the parent process resumes execution after it forked. [03:00] norc: The server is in c++, and it's not threaded... it handles one thing at a time for the most part [03:00] Anyone? [03:00] How can i install wine 1.0 instead of 1.2? Can someone suggest? [03:01] mrguser: apt preferences pin [03:01] mrguser, I don't believe you can install them without compiling, I could be wrong. [03:01] fhsales: can you put the relevant parts of dmesg in pastebin so I can see the log? [03:01] mrguser, force version in synaptic [03:01] mrguser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [03:01] mrguser, also, you could use Playonlinux to get different versions of Wine in one machine. [03:02] mrguser: describes various methods to accomplish that, including but not limited to synaptic. [03:02] Etyrnal means? [03:02] mrguser: Just check out the link I gave you. [03:02] Ok [03:02] mrguser: and please *read* it and dont stop at the first command you see to just copy and paste it ;) [03:03] Ok etyrnal [03:03] norc: would it be 'safe/prudent' to just leave the 'expect fork' line in... I really doubt the 'fork' side would happen but... or, take it out and if there are hiccups, put it back in? [03:03] GaryDev: No. [03:03] GaryDev: If in doubt, dont use anything [03:03] norc: understood [03:03] fhsales: also, can you do an "ls /lib/firmware/RT*" (without the quotes) and pastebin the output? [03:03] GaryDev: But if it then forks, upstart will track the wrong process and it could have consequences [03:04] ok. i am restarting the system and will do thar [03:04] mrguser, in Synaptic Package Manager, look under menu for Package - should be a force version option [03:04] GaryDev: Like it could re-run the script unexpectedly multiple times, you will be unable to use service xxx stop for those services (or that might even have dangerous side effects) [03:05] GaryDev: is this a bash script you are executing? [03:05] fhsales: you should get fresh log entries simply by unplugging / plugging the device (FYI) [03:05] norc: yes.. I *think* so... LOL.. its in etc/init.d at the moment [03:05] fhsales: you should not have to reboot, in other words [03:06] GaryDev: put it somewhere else, like /usr/local/bin [03:06] hscp are you there? [03:06] fhsales: pastebin those items and put the link . I'll be right back [03:06] hey [03:06] GaryDev: Check the bash scripts for any ampersands (&) or `exec' occurences - if there's none there, no fork magic [03:07] (or at least probably no fork magic) [03:07] norc: Our software will not run a 2nd instance on the same port... if that port is in use, then it simply exits.. and I have NO need for a "start/restart/stop" type of options [03:07] hspcd situation has changed. it seems the device is working now.Instead of device not ready it says disconnected.maybe now i just have to configure my wireless system [03:07] GaryDev: Either check yourself or pastie the script and I can check whether that script will fork or not [03:07] fhsales: perhaps you'll be running in no time then [03:07] norc: well, the script is basically what I type in putty... [03:08] why cant i get voice on ##linux ?? [03:08] GaryDev: Which *might* fork. Just pastie it please :) [03:08] in here or in private? Its short, but.. I don't want to fllod here [03:08] How do I get Emerald to start on startup? [03:08] oh i see now srrrru [03:08] srrrru [03:09] haylo: That's offtopic, if you have to ask, then you shouldn't be voiced & etc. [03:09] how can i change ubuntu 11 theme to the origional ubuntu theme [03:09] norc: I will send it in a whisper... [03:09] this is rubbish [03:09] Ho^Oh, that is not an appropriate thing to say [03:09] !ot | haylo [03:09] haylo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:10] my update manager wont update anything because it says the action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources well how do i make it ignore this [03:10] TUX11, original meaning which? [03:10] you guys banned me from ubuntu-offtopic [03:10] GaryDev: yeah please use pastie.org for that kind of work, that way you can simply paste the URL to the pastie snippet :) [03:10] thats why i asked here [03:10] without all the sidebar crap, and the bar at the bottom so i can see whats open [03:10] haylo, try ##linux-ops [03:10] haylo, then there's a reason you are banned from that channel. [03:10] hspcd did you see my last message? [03:10] norc: ah, sorry.. noobie factor again :) [03:11] TUX11: You can see what's opened in Unity... [03:11] nah i got banned from here at same time- but only this one was lifted [03:11] !notunity | TUX11 [03:11] TUX11: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [03:11] GaryDev: (Note you can use any other pastebin service as well, not trying to advertise pastie.org :P) [03:11] TUX11: You can add and remove icons from Unity app launcher. [03:11] haylo, lets move on [03:11] ok [03:11] TUX11: Or try this wonderful alternative: http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/ [03:11] ok gnome shell will that make it look like the previous 10.4 [03:11] norc: as you can tell, I'm also not very strong in IRC ways either.. [03:12] fhsales: I saw it. Is it working now? [03:12] GaryDev: Just pastie the script please ;) [03:12] hey guys.. good morning, just wanna ask, how will i fix my apt-get, it always shows duplicate in my apt list but when i check it out, everything in there was unique or no duplicate [03:12] im guna break this pC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:12] norc: http://pastie.org/3493330 [03:13] hspcd look the command here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/862880/. Well, it says disconnected. now i should configure my wireless network? or it should recognize automatically? [03:13] TUX11, have you tried Cairo/GLX dock? [03:13] TUX11, gnome 2 is not supported by its developers anymore 10.04 is supported for a year past april though. [03:13] back === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [03:14] GaryDev: Yeah no fork there :) [03:14] reith2004, you mean the sources.list? [03:14] yea [03:14] Tux11, Cairo/GLX dock run really nicely (can even be started from the login screen and run in tandem with a barebones Gnome session) [03:14] norc: all I need is for the "&" part to work... :( [03:15] urfr332g0 yea... when i try the update manager it works, but the apt-get always says there was a duplicate entries [03:15] norc: the script does run, the server does start, it works perfect... until I exit putty [03:15] BW: Disable (0 Mbit) 0 b/s (0 bytes) down, 0 b/s (0 bytes) up [03:15] reith2004, you can save the one you have and set up a new one with this site or at least compare and contrast. http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [03:15] norc: and when I run the command itself, rather than the script... it works perfectly after I leave putty [03:16] hspcd still there? [03:16] reith2004: urfr332gO: I see the same thing at update I think it's a duplicate package in one of the ppa that I have added. not sure witch one it is, I've ignored it so far with no problems [03:17] reith2004, did you add any ppa's with a ppa add and also put them in the sources.list, there is a sources.list.d in etc/apt [03:17] GaryDev: http://pastie.org/3493351 << then that should be all you need. place it in /etc/init/aoeserver.conf for example. [03:17] j [03:17] anyone here do Ruby development on Ubuntu? [03:17] Kowboy: I did a while ago [03:18] is it best just to install ruby and rubygems from source? [03:18] sacarlson,urf332g0 yea it tried that, [03:18] or is it difficult to use gem2deb? [03:18] Kowboy: I do ruby dev on ubuntu also, I also monitor #ruby [03:19] only one problem left to solve - nice [03:19] sacarlson, what is your recommended setup? [03:20] Kowboy: I've never used gem2deb, I just install the needed dev packages that the gem loader needs or install the prepackaged ruby packages [03:20] My Flash Drive shows it is mounted when it is not connected, yet when I connected, it tries to mount a duplicate of it.... is there anything I can do about this? [03:20] reith2004, you can use crtl-f in the sources.list to find duplicate save them from the terminal. [03:21] urfr332gO ok im gonna tried thanks... [03:21] and this flash drive is only listed in the sidebar in Nautilus, it's not actually in /media [03:21] norc: Ok, I'll give it a shot and see what happens... I will remember to add in the chdir command as well :) [03:21] urfr332gO not on my home pc :) thanks for tips [03:21] Kowboy: if gem loader fails there is normaly a prepackage ruby deb in the repository, [03:22] reith2004, no problem. :) [03:22] GaryDev: well since your script already does that, no need for that :) [03:22] not for the things I am looking for [03:22] GaryDev: but sure, you can add it nevertheless [03:22] jekyll for instancew [03:22] norc: OH... yes... I see, you are calling the script... DOH! [03:22] GaryDev: Or actually, you dont need to call that script. Thats just stupid [03:23] looks like gem install is working [03:23] GaryDev: Use the chdir stanza and call the application directly. [03:23] anyone with a HP TM2? [03:23] c_smith, did you add the flash to fstab? [03:23] taps on the touchscreen don't fire a click, only move the mouse pointer. [03:24] norc: seems a lot simplier... and then if I have others (for the other lobbies).. all I have to do is just add or remove those CONF files out (or in) and not have to worry about anything else with rc.d ?? [03:24] Fernandos, whats the issue [03:24] GaryDev: that wouldnt be pretty at all.. but it would work. [03:24] c_smith, it has to be mounted to show in media. [03:25] Kowboy: did you read this page for install of jekyll? https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/Install [03:25] bazhang: when I tap the screen it only moves the mouse pointer, the styles and eraser work perfectly, but tapping the screen doesn't make a click, it just moves the mouse [03:26] I am mostly unable to connect to my university campus wifi (not sure if campus-wide or on a specific AP) It will connect once and then if I reconnect it it will just throw the following error in syslog : "wlan0: 00:1a:1e:8d:35:60 denied authentication (status 17)". changing the macaddress fixes the problem once. additionally, sometimes if I get real lucky the adapter will decide to use 5ghz and it will work without changing the mac [03:26] address. [03:26] norc: also.. the re-spawn.. our lobby never crashes, so I don't need it to auto-start.. there are times when I just kill the process, I don't want the thing to start back again.. or, would respawn heed my "kill" command and not worry about it [03:26] GaryDev: no keep it. [03:26] bazhang: does it work for you? [03:26] GaryDev: If you want to stop the service, you'd use `service aoeserver stop' [03:27] GaryDev: Its for unexpected crashes/exits. === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 === Jasonn is now known as juicy [03:27] sacarlson, yes that is what I've been looking at [03:27] jschall, you sure it is the right connection, my universities wifi has several channels some not for students. [03:27] norc: ok.. so, you say I should do "more" than just put those CONF files? What else would be required? [03:27] GaryDev: nothing else :) [03:27] GaryDev: just add one simple tiny conf file, and thats it. [03:27] i'm having some issues with java. I have openjdk and icetea installed, loading applets in firefox crashes it. i can load .jars fine, is it just a firefox issue? reinstalling that might work? [03:28] urfr332gO: there is exactly one essid for the campus wifi. [03:28] Kowboy: I've never installed that but sometimes they fail to document all the needed packages needed [03:28] norc: ok... I'll give it a shot :) [03:28] jschall, I would talk to there IT people if you can. [03:28] their [03:29] norc: these files go into init? [03:29] GaryDev: /etc/init/ yes [03:29] norc: awesome. Thank you *again* for your patience and assistance... [03:31] jschall: sounds like you might be band from one or more access points, if you find the mac address of the one that works maybe you can set your connection to that one, I'm not sure how easy or hard that might be === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu [03:31] sacarlson: it seems that it bans me every time i connect to it. it's been reset by IT repeatedly and it still bans me. [03:32] sacarlson: i'm not sure if it's because my adapter is doing something or because it thinks its still connected to my adapter or what [03:32] recently, i used the wubi migrate script, but i think it did not complete [03:32] jschall: it might be that it finds another ap it see's better and moves but the sig levels or other reason the ap bans you, still might find another mac that works [03:32] still see the main partition mounted in /media [03:33] sacarlson: don't understand what you mean. [03:34] shubbar, do you get a grub menu at boot? [03:34] jschall: each ap even if on the same network should have a unique mac address, the problem might also be on your side since no one else is having the problem I assume === braiam_ is now known as braiam [03:35] sacarlson: if the problem is on my side its a problem that is causing the ap to ban me. [03:35] sacarlson: since it miraculously starts working again if i change mac addresses. [03:35] jschall: ya try disable network-manager and try manualy control things and see what happens [03:35] does anyone knows why my terminal does not recognize my files? [03:36] fhsales, can you be like real specific? === reith2004__ is now known as reith2004 [03:36] jschall: when you change mac address maybe just try change it back again to the bad one and see if it still works [03:37] urfr332gO it is becaus i downloaded a realtek driver and i am trying to mount it. i put the files into my desktop but when i do the commands it says it cant found the archives. [03:37] sacarlson: ok, i'll try that next time. any other thoughts? [03:37] jschall: sounds more like the mac change is reseting something needed [03:37] sacarlson: i doubt it. [03:37] fhsales, what is the command how about a link to them. [03:37] fhsales, Desktop? [03:37] sacarlson: since i've turned the wifi off and on again and it doesn't solve the issue [03:38] norc: So this "final result" would be correct... providing I named it something like "aoeking.conf" and it would respond to 'service aoeking start" ... etc... http://pastie.org/3493453 [03:38] GaryDev: yes. [03:38] urfr332gO sudo apt-get install unzip [03:38] GaryDev: except [03:38] bazhang how should i call it? [03:38] GaryDev: Remove that ampersand. [03:38] fstab nightmare [03:38] fhsales, did you change directories to the Desktop with a capital 'D' ? [03:38] jschall: off and on like unpluged a wifi dongle? maybe reset isn't doing what it should [03:38] GaryDev: upstart already does the magic putting that into background. [03:38] norc: ok... [03:39] bazhang no. [03:39] i can not seem to find any way to escape a space within the fstab [03:39] norc: [03:39] what i am missing to unzip and cd the driver? [03:39] GaryDev: If you *did* use the ampersand, you actually would have to add expect fork too by the way. But you dont need the ampersand anyway [03:39] fhsales, you have a zip file it would need to be exstrated and then a cd I would think [03:39] LOL [03:39] jschall: is your wifi device a broadcom ? [03:39] sacarlson: intel advanced-n 6230 [03:39] urfr332gO exactly how do i do that? [03:40] !tar | fhsales [03:40] fhsales: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [03:40] sacarlson: what i mean by off and on is i used the key combination on the laptop to power the wifi chipset off [03:40] jschall: well I would try total manual without network-manager as I've had problems with it in the past and only got some ap to work with custom scripts [03:40] norc: alright, thanks again... I'm off to go create some of these conf files, and then I'll have to wait several hours before the main server is empty and I can do a reboot to test them out [03:41] GaryDev: I probably wouldnt create multiple jobs in upstart for this. [03:41] fhsales, does not matter whether on the desktop, a extract would be a right click on the zip and open with the archive manager to exstract [03:42] ZenIRCBot, irssi [03:42] bazhang: Use weechat. [03:42] erc [03:42] norc: well... we have an average of 10 game servers running, so it needs to start 10 times (all using different folder/game names of course) [03:42] urfr332gO ok, but after extracting what do i do to cd it? [03:43] GaryDev: Well I would have upstart start a service that manages starting multiple instances. [03:43] Hello! I case I have Ubuntu Server installed, and want to install the graphic interface, which package should I install? [03:43] fhsales, read the link the bot gave there is more to it then just a cd [03:43] jschall: maybe some geek just doesn't like you, do you use alot of bandwidth? [03:43] norc: ok... would that be just adding in multiple "exec" lines then? [03:44] GaryDev: But I suppose doing *that* properly is more complicated than simply adding a bunch of jobs to upstart. [03:44] sacarlson: no, that's not it. [03:44] JoseeAntonioR, ubuntu-desktop for gnome , kubuntu-desktop for kde4 , xubuntu-desktop for xfce4 [03:44] GaryDev: no, just use multiple jobs - its not pretty but it will work. [03:44] fhsales, cd ~/Desktop if that is where it is at, then more ciommands to install if this is a tar [03:44] sacarlson: it's happening on 2 identical s76 gazelle professionals [03:44] bazhang: Perfect! Thank you! [03:45] jschall: oh ok so it must be related to the wifi device then [03:45] sacarlson: yeah, i know, but it wasn't happening until recently [03:45] norc: I'll watch the resources used... if the stress on the system is too much, then I will just find another way so that the scripts run, and use the rc.d command for getting them to start at boot time [03:45] GaryDev: or actually [03:45] GaryDev: give me one minute please [03:45] sacarlson: i don't think it's an update though, i think they added or reconfigured an AP [03:46] norc: grin.. ok :) I think I might be starting to punish you a bit... LOL [03:46] GaryDev: nah its cool, I use this to learn more about upstart :) [03:47] jschall: maybe they got a new ap, I had a problem like this before where 2 devices in a 10 computer wifi network didn't work and they weren't even the same [03:47] anyone know how to convert .ttc to .ttf please? .... [03:48] norc: I see.. well, since I am teaching you then (snort) I only charge 295.95 per minute :P [03:48] sacarlson: they did tell my mother (they won't reply to my emails, i'm just a lowly student, she's a professor of computer science) they were "improving" the wifi in the building [03:48] sacarlson: since before this issue, it was horrificly slow [03:50] GaryDev: Ok I have an acceptable implementation for that [03:50] jschall: in my case with the 2 that didn't work it ended up that the new accesspoint I had added wanted to be the one that did the dhcp to authenticated, not sure why some computers still worked [03:50] urfr332GO it did not work. [03:50] I've checked my resolve.conf file and the output of route. all looks to be in order. Anything else to check to see why DNS seems to be down, ie I can't resolve google or amazon. [03:51] urfr332gO i tried to cd the archive. but it did not work. inside this folder there is a tar file. [03:51] hello. [03:51] sacarlson: so there were two APs providing dhcp or something? [03:51] sacarlson: i don't quite understand your sentence structure [03:51] is anyone else here able to change masked hosts for a nick? [03:52] jschall: yes it was double nat that seemed stupid to me but that's what worked [03:52] jschall: nat = network-address-translation [03:52] fhsales, First install tars is not really something I have done often, so my help is really as a look here this tells you how, so look at the links and the web. [03:53] sacarlson: aware [03:53] installing* [03:53] WiCkD1: #freenode can help with that [03:53] Thanks pangolin [03:53] sacarlson: hmm [03:53] !pm | fhsales I don't PM and most wont without being asked. [03:53] fhsales I don't PM and most wont without being asked.: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [03:53] sacarlson: well, thanks for the thoughts, i think the next thing to do is change the mac address back after it bans me and see if its still banned to make sure it is on the AP side [03:54] jschall: I wasted alot of time on that one since I was so convinced that the problem was on the client side but in the end that worked [03:54] sacarlson: and then after that's confirmed it's a matter of complaining to it until they fixit. [03:54] norc: and I am listening :) [03:54] urfr332Go understood.sorry. [03:54] GaryDev: yes give me one more sec [03:55] jschall: or get an external wifi adapter that does work is another option if they fail to move [03:55] fhsales, no biggie. lol, you just want to remember that we help for free. [03:55] sacarlson: hell. no. [03:55] norc: no problem... [03:55] urfr332gO my question here is because i am unable to make my usb wireless work. i found a site here which says how to make that happen.But when it comes to make the commands, i am failing. [03:55] urfr332gO in the end, what should i do with that tar file? [03:55] jschall: you say that now but 6 months from now you might wish you did [03:56] fhsales, get one that plugs and plays as suggested, there are ones that are very cheap, and there is a wiki that will tell ones that work. [03:56] GaryDev: http://pastie.org/3493546 << something like that. [03:56] Tinfoil around the microwaves maybe? [03:56] sacarlson: not buying an external wifi adapter when A. i already have the best available internal wifi adapter for linux, B. it's not my fault their AP blows, C. i can kludge around the problem by picking a random macaddr [03:57] jschall: oh the random macaddr works for how long a whole session? [03:57] GaryDev: set PIDDIR to some directory where the pid files go to (notice that the rights must be set properly for that directory) [03:57] sacarlson: on session [03:57] sacarlson: one [03:58] jschall: oh ok ya just write a script that randomizes then as long as it works one sesion that should be good === danneldeux is now known as dannel [03:58] GaryDev: err wait whops [03:58] norc: I have that bookmarked... I think for the moment, I'll stick with the single script for each one until I know it will run right. ... waiting... [03:59] GaryDev: http://pastie.org/3493552 [03:59] GaryDev: that sorry. [03:59] GaryDev: you really should do that instead. [03:59] GaryDev: its much cleaner [03:59] and dang [03:59] norc: ok.. I think... lol [04:00] GaryDev: http://pastie.org/3493559 -- last one. [04:00] :D [04:00] :) === fen is now known as fen|afk [04:01] GaryDev: Wah. Shoot me in the head for not being precise :( [04:01] norc: again.. appreciated. I will wander off, do some reading and testing :) [04:01] GaryDev: http://pastie.org/3493570 [04:01] GaryDev: haha. [04:02] 4th time lucky? :P [04:02] GaryDev: http://pastie.org/3493572 [04:02] GaryDev: 5th time. [04:02] GaryDev: I dont have a linux system available right now so i cant test it. [04:02] out of curiosity is there a stripped down version of ubuntu i can download that does not have unity or anything so i can install gnomeshell [04:04] norc: not to worry.. our server program (./cdserv) takes a folder name as a starting arg... it then looks in "that" folder to get all the info about the game, ports, configs etc... and uses that folder for storing logs. aoekings, crimson, cfs1 etc are the type of 'args' passed [04:05] GaryDev: No my point is, if I had a linux server at my disposal I would have tested it with my own scripts for syntax errors and logic errors [04:05] GaryDev: but my last revision should in principle work [04:06] though I dont think sleep 9999999 is so sleek [04:06] you probably could use something like `exec bash' [04:06] (it's just a pseudo thing to be executed for upstart to track) === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [04:06] hey guys, anyhelp would be appreciated, ive got ubuntu booting from usb, but its not utilizing the whole space on the drive, any ideas? [04:06] norc: Starting to see and understand. Off to explore how much trouble I can cause now, thanks kindly :) [04:06] obviously you'll lose the respawn semantic entirely if you do that [04:07] USBoot: "utilizing" ? [04:07] respawn doesn't matter to me, to be honest.. [04:07] yeah, ive got 500gb available, and it only uses about 2.5 :/ [04:08] GaryDev: In any case, your previous attempt with the scripts in /etc/init.d/ is for sysvinit - which Ubuntu has replaced with upstart. :-) === aotianlong_ is now known as aotianlong === treshoem_ is now known as treshoem [04:09] (While I think upstart can still parse those for compability reasons, real upstart jobs like the one I just gave you are the way to go) [04:10] USBoot: did you partition the drive at all? [04:10] prior to installing the image on the usb? [04:10] USBoot: I guess durring the install image [04:11] it didnt give me an option [04:11] because most of the programs dont recognize a 500 gb external as a usb, i cant use unetbootin [04:11] USBoot: you would have to pick manual partition at that point, to do partitioning on it now would require booting from another device === spieder is now known as fugihen [04:12] okay, i've been away from good ol' tux for a while. i boot from a USB drive sometimes and it always hangs @ "unknown keyword in configuration file. boot:" prompt. i used to type something here and it would boot. wasnt "help" but i cant remember what it was for the life of me [04:12] oh and ive tried that as well [04:12] it says the partition is the full 500 gb [04:12] but the image is much smaller [04:12] it was something short like 4 or five letters === MisterFox is now known as MisterFox|away [04:12] USBoot: well to boot from usb I think you can't use extX type format so it can't get that big === MisterFox|away is now known as MisterFox [04:13] USBoot: therefore you would have to create at least one more partition other than the boot partition to be the big one [04:14] not "boot" "start" "usb" "help" or anything else easy i can remember [04:16] hello [04:16] USBoot: oh and unetbootin might not have options for adding partitions, but ubuntu I would think does [04:18] !precise | melvincv [04:18] melvincv, please see my private message [04:19] hey guys, I have two ubuntu systems and the clocks are 10 minutes apart. I don't see any server sync settings in the time config.. does it never sync the time to a server? [04:20] soreau: I guess ntp is an option not default installed [04:20] sacarlson: oh ok [04:22] does someone know the kernel for ubuntu 10.04? [04:22] Howdy folks.. Im trying to get packages installed for my MacBook Air. Im following the instructions on help.ubuntu.com but I can't add the packages it says to [04:23] question [04:23] where was ubuntu made [04:23] Greetings! Is anyone here that can help me? Its actually very simple. [04:23] isaac__, in the dungeon. :) [04:23] in what country :P [04:24] isaac__, transylvania. [04:24] isaac__, I ribbing you. :) [04:24] <_< [04:25] I added a PPA to my system (I think) but I still can't install packages from it. [04:25] isaac__, try #ubuntu-offtopic [04:25] does anyone know the kernel of ubuntu 10.04? [04:25] Anyone? I was just wondering why firefox won't work on Ubuntu lol the problem is I just...can't connect I can ping websites but I can't downloads apps and I cant get on the browser it says server not found. [04:25] vaccine: did you sudo apt-get update ; ? [04:26] sacarlson, yep [04:26] i can try [04:26] Im trying to follow the post-install instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir3-2/Meerkat === zay-bot is now known as zay-dul [04:27] Venne: you sure you have an isp? sounds like you don't have any port 80 if you do, is any other browser working? [04:27] when I try to install the packages, it says they aren't found =( [04:28] vaccine: ok install packages is not the browser so that's another app that fails to get port 80 access [04:28] opps I mean Venne [04:29] yeah i do i got an ISP..i think well how would i be on here now if i didn't (i use the same internet cord cause im poorfag) [04:29] ? [04:29] Venne: ok and you are using this same isp with ubuntu then? [04:30] yups [04:30] I use google-talk by empathy, and I add a google talk account. But how I can chat with other? [04:30] newer not through empathy [04:31] sacarlson: yea I think installing ntp fixed it, thanks [04:31] soreau: cool [04:31] now they're only one second apart ;) [04:31] why? [04:31] newer correction: I've not done it. It appears that google-talk chat SHOULD be possible. [04:31] Venne: so what is different on these two ubuntu systems that might make one work and the other not? different versions? [04:36] E: Unable to locate package applesmc-dkms [04:36] =( [04:37] vaccine: that was on the ppa? sometimes the servers go down and ppa I'm not sure they have a backup like standard repository [04:37] vaccine if you haven't enable the ppa in software sources, you won't see it. http://bitmath.org/code/applesmc-dkms/ [04:37] who can tell me how to edit my window by style css ? [04:38] vaccine: According to the internet, "As of 25OCT2008, the package applesmc-dkms is available in the mactel ppa." [04:38] hello everyone, was wondering whether anyone has had trouble setting up color syntax highlighting for php on vim in ubuntu 11.10? [04:38] hi all [04:38] CFHowlett I enabled it using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mactel-support/ppa [04:38] do I need to do more than that? [04:39] vaccine nope that should do it... [04:39] vaccine: apt-get update [04:39] lame [04:39] vaccine as soreau said: apt-get update [04:39] failing that, try through git. [04:39] K0wb0yK0der greetings [04:40] he did, I think the PPA goes down for a while.. [04:40] yeah, I tried [04:40] thank you :) my first time in this IRC. i spend most of my time in the #linux channel [04:40] who can tell me how to edit my window by style css ? [04:40] thanks [04:41] newer: isn't css like for web pages? [04:41] newer that's not really an ubuntu question. Maybe try to find a css channel. [04:41] newer, what are you looking to do? pm me [04:41] K0wb0yK0der this is an ubuntu support channel. Have you a specific problem to solv? [04:42] ! pm [04:42] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:42] vaccine what version of ubuntu are you working with? [04:43] CFHowlett 11.10 [04:43] nope mostly going to stay silent. provide support when i can. otherwise learn. 99% of the time im using Rhel. first time installed ubuntu. [04:44] vaccine this says its for the maverick and I see no upgrades: http://ppa.launchpad.net/mactel-support/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/a/applesmc-dkms/applesmc-dkms_0.17.3-maverick-mactel1_all.deb from http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/mactel_support/maverick/main/base/applesmc-dkms [04:44] Ok, I think I discovered some severe bug in upstart. For some bizarre reason it remembers an old pid of a process that no longer even exists :/ [04:45] is there any good desktop app to reader google reader feed? [04:45] (And subsequent starts/stops don't change it, it still tries to track the process using that old and *long* outdated pid) [04:45] * norc hates this [04:45] CFHowlett does that mean it's in the kernel now? [04:45] hey guys, I think my go-home-applet or something is screwed up. I used to have something similar to Unity, but don't know what it's called. I need help figuring it out. here's a pic: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oEGXTEGgX-I/TJ5UE4ZeUEI/AAAAAAAAAPs/tyPTriejXMA/s1600/Screenshot.png [04:46] vaccine it's a ppa and NOT in the linux kernel. [04:46] not understanding the cut command. help? [04:46] edwinkcw see firefox add-ons - plenty in there. [04:47] 1. Use the cut command on the output of a long directory listing in order to display only the file permissions [04:47] CFHowlett: oh, I am looking for desktop app ... === aria is now known as Guest97646 [04:48] edwinkcw search in software center - it's there. [04:48] CFHowlett how do you recommend I proceed? [04:49] Anyone know how to get rid of all the default firefox crap in /usr/lib/firefox*/ **** [04:49] I use the aurora, but I don't think it likes it when I take out the other false apps. [04:49] vaccine I've never installed ubuntu on a mac. I assume you're using a tutorial? Follow that. So far as the .deb is concerned, download it to your desktop, open a terminal and run *sudo dpkg -i mactelfile.deb* [04:49] I'm gonna try to take out the older ones and see what happens [04:51] how do i find out what program I'm running to pick my programs/show my desktop? It looks like Unity but isn't. [04:52] bagels_: maybe xprop? [04:52] CFHowlett Im trying to follow the tutorial, it says add the PPA and then apt-get install a few packages, but it doesn't seem to be able to find them =( [04:52] http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oEGXTEGgX-I/TJ5UE4ZeUEI/AAAAAAAAAPs/tyPTriejXMA/s1600/Screenshot.png soreau does it look like that? [04:53] bagels_: no, run xprop then click on the window/surface in question [04:54] vaccine, you run a update after adding the ppa then searching for packages? [04:54] vaccine I found that .deb on the first page of searching. If the ppa's aren't available, I'd generally consider that installation method to be defunct and look for an alternate. You can always install virtualbox for apple and install ubuntu into that. [04:54] urfr332gO, yep === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [04:54] soreau i got a whole mess of gobbledygook [04:55] vaccine, I noticed the instructions were for maverick so as suggested might be outdated. Installing on a mac is not for the faint at heart, never done it but it does not look like fun. [04:56] soreau reason i ask when i hit the Super button, or go-home-applet, my desktop flashes and i don't get a program picker. [04:56] urfr332gO, only a couple minor issues, it's too bad the how-to doesn't seem to work. Im not giving up yet =) [04:56] urfr332gO agreed. [04:56] vaccine, you might be installed I have not followed your posts.

[05:04] Huundur, here is a link never used it myself may be in a repo you don't have open. http://namhuy.org/blog/2007/08/16/how-to-install-nmap-into-ubuntu/ [05:04] drounse what's it doing then? [05:04] CFHowlett it keeps saying "Boot Error" [05:04] !info alsa-base [05:04] alsa-base (source: alsa-driver): ALSA driver configuration files. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.24+dfsg-0ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 136 kB, installed size 516 kB [05:05] drounse I'd say recreate your boot usb. [05:05] L3top it says "N: Unable to locate package map" [05:05] Huundur, you have the multiverse repo open? [05:05] what version are you on? [05:05] and [05:05] that [05:05] I'm jusdt guessing though. [05:06] Huundur: what version of ubuntu did you say you were running? [05:06] just* [05:06] CFHowlett i have many times, ive tried different distros too, i want ubuntu server tho... also a few days ago i got it to boot, and install then after i rebooted it hung on the page that says "Ubuntu" with the dots loading [05:06] why not using rdp? [05:06] im using 11.04 [05:07] Huundur: sounds like you forgot to do sudo apt-get update or you might change the repo host if that's not it [05:07] drounse have you md5sum checked these iso [05:08] Huundur: are you familiar with pastebin? [05:08] or pastebinit [05:08] -_- im fucking retarded its downloadin the update now [05:08] Huundur: thank you [05:08] at least i think it is...thats what it looks like its doing ....thhanks guys...let see if this works [05:09] CFHowlett yes i have [05:09] CFHowlett ive checked everything from the iso, to the hardware and cannot find anything wrong [05:10] CFHowlett ive used unetbootin and startup disk creator [05:11] drounse if you're getting a completed installation, there's something in that configuration that's causing your issues. [05:11] Hey, I was wondering if anyone is any good with serial console setups? I got a couple problems and questions. [05:11] drounse: can you get to that ubuntu bootloader again [05:11] got it :D thanks everybody i feel really stupid now though :( im new to this lol [05:12] oh i see [05:12] dont feel stupid Huundur... we all began somewhere. [05:12] some time [05:12] Nach0z: Home sweet home. ;P [05:12] when i hit the Super button, or go-home-applet, my desktop flashes and i don't get a program picker. How can i figure this out? [05:12] Huundur: we all make mistakes and will all continue to make them, no one is perfect [05:13] right alright im off to get a shitload more apps now that i can lol [05:13] CFHowlett i only got a completed installation once and that was last week, i havent been able to boot the usb, i am installing on a new usb, but i have gotten the usb to work on my main desktop, so i think it might be hardware related but ive completely take then computer apart and reassembled and still cant get it to work [05:13] log: yup [05:13] L3top no unfortunatly [05:13] you aint kiddin [05:13] drounse suspect hardware is reasonable. Sorry, IDK what to tell you... [05:14] CFHowlett thats ok, i just cant think of what the problem would be, i might try to update the BIOS and maybe itll hlp [05:14] drounse good luck [05:14] CFHowlett thanks [05:15] drounse: I didn't see... are you using more than one usb drive? [05:16] drounse: I guess you need to at least get the grub console active instead of the flash blinker to get an idea where the problem is locking up [05:16] typically you can just hit escape and it will show console activity [05:16] yeah.. plan your missions wisely.. for youve only got one shot [05:17] L3top yes, i have three usb flash drives, and i have tried in multiple usb ports on the computer, the computer is picking up that the usb is in but for some reason it wont boot [05:17] L3top: drounse: cool try that esc thing then [05:18] sacarlson ok [05:18] There sure is a pile of people in here. [05:18] (o: [05:18] drounse: best guess is that is don't like your graphic adapter and stops there, if so maybe force vga until you find drivers that work [05:19] So I am having issues installing ubunto. I keep getting hangups during the install process... they seem to be related to disk formating. [05:20] sacarlson i have used a usb before on this computer and got it working fine, this used to be my old primary desktop like a month ago, then i got a new chassis plugged everything and it worked, i switched out hard drives and let it sit for a while while i used my other computer, when i came back maybe a week later ive been having nothing but trouble [05:21] Has anyone need lockups during the "creating ext4 file system for / parition #1..." during an install from USB/boot CD? [05:21] drounse: when it was working I'm not sure you were using the same version of ubuntu, or something else broke, disable all internal components in bios is another option [05:22] seen* [05:22] sacarlson it was the same version of ubuntu, i havent touched anything, thats why i cant figure out whats wrong :/ [05:22] FreezeRay, use alternative installer cd if you runinto trouble.... [05:23] drounse: well your blind until you see the grub console and what the problem might be [05:23] if i want to update my bios will i need freedos? [05:23] sacarlson i cant see anything [05:24] drounse, depends on the motherboard. I know my asus boards, I've hit ALT + F2 and throw the bios rom on a usb drive and flash that way. [05:24] drounse: yes I know that's why L3top suggested the esc key to enable grub console, not sure it works or not [05:25] gdeeble i have an emachine board but the file is an .exe [05:25] sacarlson the esc key does nothing [05:26] Nibber: I don't think this is an Alt installer issue. Everything runs very well live. [05:26] drounse: well it's now installed can the boot configs be changed so that you can see the grub console? [05:26] drounse: oh but this is on the usb so can't be changed? [05:27] alguien habla español? [05:27] sacarlson its not installed, it was installed on another hdd, but i needed it for my main computer so i have a smaller hdd in with no OS, yes this is a USB [05:27] Nibbler: also I'd be totally lost with text based install... lol [05:27] ludwin01, #Ubuntu-es [05:27] drounse, the question comes then, is it a dos file, if so, freedos should work on a USB key from what I know. I'd check the bios for an EZ Flash option to be sure before running through a headache to flash it. IMO [05:28] very funy @dj [05:28] Question for you guys. I have a bunch of peak volume readings from a digital audio source being streamed to me in 10ms intervals [05:28] I'm trying to turn that into a useful graphical display on a column of 9 LEDs, as per analog DJ mixers etc [05:28] Does anyone have any idea where I'd start looking to find out what kinds of processing I can use on this datastream to get good-looking results? [05:28] When is the next release estimated? April ? [05:28] drounse: I'm running out of idea's so maybe pxeboot from the other system? maybe the problem is the usb hardware [05:29] Name141 end of april 2012 [05:29] gdeeble well it has an easy way to install the update but its from within a windows pc and i currently have no OS [05:29] Hi all [05:29] ! | pxeboot [05:29] CFHowlett: Then looks like if I want to get on the Ubuntu train I might as well do it now seeing as it's 2 months from the next release. [05:29] what.. in the.. name of christ.. and all.. that is holy.. happened to brainwreck.. right in the middle of mt chat.. <---- is NOT happy.. in.. fact.. im furious === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [05:29] sacarlson whats pxeboot? [05:30] pxeboot = if you are getting os from a network server aka ltsp [05:30] drounse: boot from ethernet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYQCFEnjWYA [05:30] the book of listsisagreat book [05:30] is unity worth using, or should I stick with 10.04 [05:30] primenumber: imo sitkck with 10.04 [05:31] my reason, informal testing with nexuiz game, 10.04 gets double fps [05:31] is the power bug any better in 11.10? [05:31] sacarlson thank you ill try right now [05:33] Curious, does anyone know if you can use a USB Serial adapter or Serial PCI Add-on card as a console port for a server? My on-board serial port just keeps dumping random letters like the settings are wrong but they match 100% the server and client machine. [05:34] anybody has configured a omega webcam?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:11] does anyone know how to install a different theme to 11.10? [06:11] I want to print 10 pages doublesided but my printer does not have a duplex feature, any way to manually invoke it? I saw gnome-manual-duplex but according to other people online it sounds like it's just going to break and I dont feel like wasting paper. [06:12] Another unrelated question. Is there any way to "boost" the audio volume? When I play some songs they seem too quiet. I've tried PulseAudio Volume Control and it doesn't make it louder than I can already get it. [06:12] Hi, how to clear apt-cacher caches? Can I just delete all the contents in /var/cache/apt-cacher [06:12] sorry, there are some problem with my network.

[06:12] can anyone see me? [06:13] lorrien3: We see you. [06:13] lorrien3 icu [06:13] It seem like Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't have safe mode option in recovery mode. [06:13] lorrien3: no [06:13] Guest40224: I assume you have gone to wine/configure wine/audio [06:13] I'm running 64-bit system. [06:13] CFHowlett: That will clean local cache right? Will it clean cache from apt-cacher too? [06:13] clarinet: go into recovery mode? you can access a recovery terminal that way [06:13] clarinet do you know how to get the grub menu? [06:13] L3top: Yes, I've gone through the wine/audio configuration [06:13] fairuz_ as I understand it, yes [06:13] what audio driver did it choose for you? [06:14] Yeah. [06:14] L3top: OSS [06:14] There no safe mode option in recovery mode. === leaf__ is now known as Guest86127 [06:14] CFHowlett: Hm that's not good. What if I just want to clean my local cache? [06:14] I don't know how to enter safe mode in terminal. [06:14] clarinet, recovery mode is same as safe mode for linux/ubuntu. [06:14] fairuz_ sorry that's the only cache cleaner I'm familiar with. === ascott_tainer is now known as ascott [06:14] I really only know anything about alsa [06:14] clarinet: I've never heard of a safe mode in linux. It's same as recovery [06:15] Oh, yes. but how to run in low graphics mode? [06:15] CFHowlett: ok thanks [06:15] OK [06:15] clarinet: try starting x. If you cannot, open a terminal and run recovery scripts to get it running again [06:15] There is nvidia driver installed on my system, but when I change ati card, It can't boot normally. [06:15] There are about 100 tutorials for it on the ubuntuforums. [06:15] does anyone know if there is a way to install themes for the new 11.10 ubuntu? [06:16] GhostWolf: Appearance manager? [06:16] GhostWolf: themes should be copied to ~/.themes/ [06:16] ZzBomb: no such thing in gnome3 :) === Adys_ is now known as Adys [06:16] crizzy: Ah I forgot that got removed, I still dont understand why. === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [06:16] ZzBomb i have no idea i don't know how the 11.10 works, in 11.04 you were able to install it from the same area as you change your desktop screen [06:17] ZzBomb: i bet it comes back later on in gnome3 cycle [06:17] ZzBomb: wasn't exactly 'removed', just wasn't rewritten back in the g3 cycle [06:17] GhostWolf: like crizzy said then .. copy into ~/.themes/ [06:17] crizzy, ok but i don't know how to install some of these i downloaded i just know how to install them from the appearance window on the previous ubuntu versions [06:17] ZzBomb: nothing unusual, original gnome 2.0 missed *a lot* of features, they just put the initial work on the platform [06:17] crizzy: that's kinda the equivalent of being removed. [06:18] ZzBomb: but yes, it is ugly that you can't even change fonts without tweak tool [06:18] L3top: When I go to my audio preferences though under applications it says somethign about ALSA, not OSS [06:18] crizzy: I think there is a tweak tool you can install. I dont remember the package name and it might be in a ppa [06:18] GhostWolf: don't they come up with instructions? depends a bit on theme too [06:18] crizzy, not all of them [06:18] ZzBomb: gnome-tweak-tool [06:18] Go figure.. [06:19] :3 [06:19] GhostWolf: ok, general way to install themes is this: [06:19] anyone here using GIMX ? [06:19] GhostWolf: open nautilus. press ctrl-l, type ~/.themes/ there, open your theme .tar.gz by clicking it, drag contents to ~/.themes [06:19] Well hey, if anyone wants a challenge, help me figure out how to manually print double sided without the function built into printer. [06:20] GhostWolf: then select it from 'advanced settings' (which is package: gnome-tweak-tool) [06:20] ok crizzy i'll try that. do you know if there are spefici themes done just for 11.10? or is it all versatile? [06:20] Played around with some random audio settings [06:20] it seems to play audio through wine now [06:20] GhostWolf: this is a bit ugly atm, but i'm sure these options will come back later on in gnome3 cycles. 12.04 already restores many old missing style configuration options [06:20] but I can't seem tog et spotify to open now [06:20] Ok... [06:20] GhostWolf: just look for GTK3 themes :) [06:20] Spotify used to open fine using wine, now it doesn't [06:20] Have they changed it recently? [06:21] Guest40224: apt-cache policy alsa-base [06:21] Guest40224: i use native linux client, works fine [06:21] crizzy: Don't you need premium for the native client? [06:21] crizzy, is the gtk3 themes different than themes for the 11.04 themes at all? [06:21] L3top: What is that for? [06:21] see if there is a version installed [06:21] Guest40224: I imagine they regularly update spotify. At least they did when I was using in windows, although you should have noticed it generally asks you. [06:21] Guest40224, have you tried the native client. [06:21] it tells me what is available, and what is installed [06:21] Guest40224: yes, you do. but i need it for android/3g streaming anyway [06:21] *? [06:22] GhostWolf: well, yes. 11.04 and earlier used gnome2 and gtk2 [06:22] GhostWolf: i don't think these themes are compatible [06:22] GhostWolf: big version transitions are always a bit painful, but this'll be much better again when 12.04 comes out [06:22] L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/863005/ was what that command gave me [06:22] crizzy, ok thanks i'll look for them, i only downloaded themes for the 11.04 on a site, let me give you the addy for them to see if it does [06:22] Ok. Time to get Funky. Just going to have my printer print Even ones.. Then odd ones. So lame that feature does not exist. It's so simple. [06:22] crizzy: Well, yeah, I can't afford that haha. I use google music for my android streaming. [06:23] c_smith: I can't afford the native client as a broke college student :S [06:23] Guest40224: it's only like 9,90eur/month :) [06:23] crizzy, well i was upgrading cause before when i upgraded there was an issue with a toolbar i used [06:23] Guest40224: price of a burger meal here :P [06:23] Guest40224, ah, well, I don't use Spotify, so I didn't know that was a premium feature.... [06:24] although that's really cheap of them, making people pay just because they don't use Windows.... [06:24] Zzbomb, startx doesn't work. Do you know how to run in low graphics mode? === c4hank is now known as vKompff [06:24] Guest40224: isn't google music us-only anyway? :/ [06:24] c_smith: Lol, I make $0 a month, so I can't really afford it. I'm saving my cash to buy a raspberry pi when they are more readily available. [06:24] c_smith: I meant that to be towards crizzy [06:24] Guest40224, I hear those are nice. might have to get me a few.... [06:25] clarinet: hm Generally if you can run in low graphics mode it will ask if you want to go into it when you start like normal. So I think you can assume xorg is too dead to even do that. [06:25] crizzy: I'm not sure about google music's global availability [06:25] crizzy, here is the site i was using before, http://www.techiesouls.com/2008/11/27/collection-of-50-best-looking-linux-gnomeubuntu-themes-to-download/ [06:25] crizzy: Although from what I've used it seems really well done. The beta phase was shaky, but now it really seems to have come together. [06:25] c_smith: For $35 USD it'd a a crime not to buy at least one [06:25] clarinet: What errors does it show when starting? That's generally a good indicator, if you see the loader try switching with... (I think it's F3, but I dont really remember) to view verbose startup. [06:26] Maybe it's F2.... It's been a while since I have need to. [06:26] Guest40224: take a look here: http://gnome-shell.deviantart.com/gallery/29380653 [06:26] So before I could launch spotify but it had no audio, and now that I had audio, I can't launch spotify... Something must always go wrong. [06:27] Ok I missed something. $35, only thing I can think of that is $35 is the raspberry pi [06:27] Guest40224: amixdigital=$(amixer | grep Simple | grep IEC | cut -d' ' -f4,5,6 | sort | uniq); for output in $amixdigital; do amixer sset $output unmute; done [06:27] Guest40224: Reinstall spotify. [06:27] Guest40224: also here http://abhizweblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/some-gtk-3-themes-ubuntu-n-fedora.html [06:27] open wine, select alsa wave out, test sound [06:27] erg... [06:27] that was wrong [06:28] that is digi only [06:28] sorry. [06:28] ah [06:28] amixdigital=$(amixer | grep Simple | cut -d' ' -f4,5,6 | sort | uniq); for output in $amixdigital; do amixer sset $output unmute; done [06:28] sorry it was GhostWolf who asked for themes [06:28] Guest40224: Or start like perusing your wine logs. But generally a reinstall is easier if it just wont start... If you can.. removing the wine prefix is pretty easy s well if you dont have other stuff in it. Something like PlayOnLinux is also good since it's a bit more optimized already for the software. [06:28] GhostWolf: check those links ^^ :P [06:28] crizzy: I think someone else was looking for the themes [06:28] then type alsamixer [06:28] er [06:28] sudo alsamixer [06:28] ZzBomb, all this happened when I change my nvidia card to ati card. [06:29] Also, I've reinstalled spotify to no avail [06:29] GhostWolf: http://abhizweblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/some-gtk-3-themes-ubuntu-n-fedora.html and http://gnome-shell.deviantart.com/gallery/29380653 [06:29] When nvidia driver enabled. [06:29] make sure all vols are at acceptable level [06:29] clarinet: Do you have any other type of video? Because changing video card types would Absolutely cause that to happen... [06:29] crizzy, i will thanks. so those themse on the link i showed you won't work with 11.10 then? [06:29] clarinet: I mean like onboard. [06:29] GhostWolf: likely not [06:29] ZzBomb, yeah. [06:29] Curious, does anyone know if you can use a USB Serial adapter or Serial PCI Add-on card as a console port for a server? My on-board serial port just keeps dumping random letters like the settings are wrong but they match 100% the server and client machine. [06:29] what are the commands to check my GTK version? Although I was not directly looking for a GTK theme that does seem intriguing. [06:30] GhostWolf: i'm kinda boring, i run stock unity, with only wallpaper changed :P too busy with actual work to fiddle with themes.. [06:30] ok thanks crizzy, btw have another question, is there a way to not have multiple windows like the browser windows on top of each other? [06:30] hm? [06:30] crizzy, i just like something different, i like things to be a bit darker [06:30] GhostWolf: Maybe im confused.. But just drag one over another. [06:31] ZzBomb, grub menu displayed normally. [06:31] clarinet: Ok yea thats not doing anything yet. What happens next? [06:31] crizzy: I change my wallpaper like every day. I'm a fan of reddit.com/r/earthporn NOTE: That is not actually porn, it is entirely SFW. [06:31] crizzy, in 11.10 when i open more than 1 browser window open, and when i want to tab over it, i only see one firefox icon but i see like 3 little arrows thing saying i have 3 pages up. i want them to be seperate, instead of on top of each other [06:32] umm i have no idea [06:32] i mostly use super-w for changing windows [06:32] Why does `sensiable-browser` doesn't respect the defualt browser ? or how does it decides which browser to use ? [06:33] GhostWolf: That's a compiz setting, im not sure if you can change it [06:33] and ZzBomb you can't drag it cause you have to hit the down key to see the other browser windows [06:33] GhostWolf: try hitting super(win button)-w if you're on unity3d === mark-i is now known as MaRk-I [06:33] Oh yea.. that's a good question. GhostWolf, are you using unity-3d or 2d? [06:33] crizzy, yea i did that, but it just minimizes everything, i don't want that [06:34] i have no idea i just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04 [06:34] minimizes? it should display all open windows at once [06:34] GhostWolf: Do you have accelerated graphics? [06:35] crizzy, thats what i mean minimizes all programs i have open to see whats open [06:35] ZzBomb, again i don't know im not very familiar with alot of things in ubuntu [06:35] ZzBomb, ubuntu logo can displayed and then black screen when boot from normal mode. [06:36] clarinet: Click F2 when you see that ubuntu logo, should switch to verbose(can someone confirm that its f2?) === asdw348sd is now known as mileon [06:36] hey guys [06:36] guys [06:36] hello, everyone [06:36] ZzBomb, thanks, I'll try it later. [06:36] i need help === companion is now known as Companion [06:37] zayan ask away [06:37] GhostWolf: I am pretty sure your referring to a compiz setting. Try install compizconfig-settings-manager and playing with your unity settings. [06:37] is there any one who have used peppermint os 2 [06:37] zayan not on this channel. [06:37] which ? [06:37] zayan: I am pretty sure you are in the #ubuntu room [06:37] ah this channel is ubuntu <:) [06:37] can anyone here help with xubuntu 11.10 settings? [06:37] zayan try #peppermint [06:38] ZzBomb, all i know is when you open a program like a browser you hit tab and you can see all the programs up. with firefox if you have more than one firefox window open it is ontop of the other window [06:38] GhostWolf: It most likely does that with other programs with multiple windows too then. Try the compiz settings. [06:39] GhostWolf: I think that's part of the Expo settings [06:39] hello... ?( [06:39] ju_ greetings [06:39] ZzBomb, never had any other program that uses multiple windows. i don't see someone using more than 1 xchat or other programs of the sort [06:39] GhostWolf: Or maybe not, idk ill poke around it some [06:39] wondering if anyone here has experience with beowulf cluster under ubuntu? [06:39] no one is there ? [06:39] in that channel [06:39] can u help with xubuntu 11.10 settings? [06:39] sorry ZzBomb i rather not poke on sometihng i don't know what it is of [06:40] zayan see http://peppermintos.com/ [06:40] or it is in another channel? [06:40] GhostWolf: On my system when I alt-tab it shows firefox as one, then if I hover over it for a bit it expands and shows both windows. [06:40] So [06:41] ZzBomb, yes thats what i mean, i have a printscreen to show you, but i don't want that i want to make it seperate [06:41] When I try to do the automatic updater it says something along the lines of "trying to install package from untrusted source, then when I ask for more info it says spotify-qt-client. And then it installs no updates. How do I get it to install all my updates? [06:41] anyone got the awus036NH card working after upgrade to 3.2.6? [06:42] Guest40224: i think you should add the spotify repository key to get them verified [06:42] How do i add home folder and trash bin in Ubuntu [06:42] crizzy: Why does it stop all my like 300+ updates though, why can't I just skip the spotify one? [06:42] no idea :) [06:42] Guest40224: http://www.spotify.com/fi/download/previews/ see here anyway [06:43] GhostWolf: Ok I checked compiz settings, unless there is a hidden feature for doing it otherwise you cannot use the Unity Switcher in that way. You could use something like the Shift Switcher, Ring Switcher, Static Application Switcher, or Application Switcher to get the effect you want.. And then just redo the hotkeys for that manually. [06:43] Guest40224: make all those steps, then spotify updates should have no problem === Purrima is now known as Silver === Silver is now known as kitteh === kitteh is now known as siilver [06:43] ZzBomb, i did not understand what you just said. sorry [06:44] Beta is out tomorrow, anyone using a recent cvs version? [06:44] hi. i have a problem - can't bring window buttons close, maximize, minimize to the left (xubuntu 11.10) [06:44] GhostWolf: Install the compizconfig-settings-manager, you can change that stuff there. It's pretty self explanatory once your in it. The feature you want is not built into the "Unity" plugin which manages the switcher by default. But there are a few other plugins that can do exactly what you want. [06:44] uhm [06:44] be VERY careful with compizconfig [06:44] Yes [06:44] it can and it WILL eventually break your config [06:45] and then you can't start unity anymore [06:45] Yea.. I've broken mine a dozen times.. Fortunately It's easy to reset. [06:45] before you even start, instructions to fix it: === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [06:45] start unity 2d: start compizconfig again, and click unity plugin back on [06:45] :P [06:45] Preferences - Reset to defaults.. Woo. [06:45] ju_ Settings -> Settings Manager -> Window Manager -> Button Layout (R Column) Drag the maximize, minimize, close and menu buttons where you want them. [06:45] i think compizconfig is remoed from 12.04 repos already.. at least software centre [06:46] get this msg when modprobe rt2800usb: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release. [06:46] Whats the best FTP client for Ubuntu? [06:46] crizzy, #ubuntu+1 is 12.04 [06:46] this is what i see, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/screenshotat20120229224.png/ i don't want that, i want those 3 firefox winders seperated from each other. [06:46] crizzy: Shucks, I usually customize my configuration like crazy, there will be some variation of it I am sure... [06:47] hello all [06:47] GhostWolf: Ok.. Yep.. That's what I am talking about. [06:47] crizzy, unity is a plugin in compiz it is not going anywhere. [06:47] urfr332gO: duh, was just implying using compizconfig is dangerous [06:47] dit greetings [06:47] can anyone tell me how to install geo server in ubuntu [06:47] urfr332gO: the editor is going away.. not compiz [06:47] oh thanks ... it was SO easy... [06:47] urfr332gO: and fiddling with it WILL eventually disable the unity plugin when it breaks the config (and it does it a lot) [06:47] ZzBomb, what editor? [06:47] i just don't want to have that, is there anyway to not have it like that? [06:47] ju_ worked? [06:48] urfr332gO: compizconfig-settings-manager [06:48] crizzy, not if you know what your doing. [06:48] Does anyone know how to enter Failsafe Graphics Mode from terminal? [06:48] yes.. ) [06:48] ju_ http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/Pictures/Success.jpg [06:48] GUYS [06:48] urfr332gO: no, it just does it. known problem [06:48] GUys [06:48] guys [06:48] urfr332gO: It's not as bad as it used to be. But when unity first came out I broke my config about 100 times. [06:48] guu=ys [06:48] zayan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:48] ok [06:48] CFHowlett: i ve downloaded bin file of geoserver [06:48] urfr332gO: compizconfig freezing and destroying your configs is barely 'not knowing what you're doing' [06:48] FloodBot1 [06:48] :-) [06:48] dit http://suite.opengeo.org/docs/usermanual/installation/linux/geoserver-ubuntu.html [06:49] CFHowlett: but not able to install [06:49] or from grub 2? [06:49] FloodBot1 : how do i add the home folder recycle bins and stuff like that in my dekstop? [06:49] dit this appears to be the official instructions. If this doesn't work, I sure don't know what else to tell you ... [06:49] ZzBomb, crizzy plenty of web tutorials on how to tweak compiz in unity, if you tweaked without reading then well.d [06:50] zayan: install 'gnome-tweak-tool' package. then you can find this as 'advanced settings'. there's options for that [06:50] ZzBomb, maybe Failsafe Graphics Mode can avoid this problem when changing gfx card. [06:50] urfr332gO: Some of us started using it before "plenty" of tutorials existed. Plus they generally dont cover anything I want to do [06:50] CFHowlett: thanks [06:50] to add home folders , recycle bin?? in compiz ? i never thoought of that in using compiz ! [06:51] urfr332gO: crappy softwar crashing has nothing to do with person not knowing what he's doing. and compizconfig does destroy compiz config files when it does that. stop defending it, you clearly have no clue what YOU are talking about. [06:51] dit good luck [06:51] clarinet: Usually it will ask you to enter that if its going to let you (in my experience) [06:51] crizzy, yeah hiolster your ego. [06:51] well i guess i have to just keep it like this. aslo realized if i don't go to another program or window i can tab from 2 browsers [06:51] holster* [06:51] zayan: read above, gave you instructions [06:52] urfr332gO: known bugs in compizconfig have nothing to do with my ego, either. [06:52] ZzBomb, Yeah, there is failsafe graphics mode option in previous release. [06:52] GhostWolf: Telling ya, it's pretty easy to enable one of the other switchers with that manager and those are generally not features that break things. [06:52] ssh root@home.pulse207.com [06:52] ZzBomb, but I can't see it in Ubuntu 11.10 recovery mode. [06:52] oops D: [06:52] crizzy, no just your discourse. [06:52] ZzBomb, nah i rather not mess with anything if its not something simple i don't want to bother thanks anyways [06:53] GhostWolf: It's pretty simple.. You install one package and click one checkbox. Then optionally redo your hotkeys. [06:54] again ZzBomb no thanks [06:54] Alrighty :p [06:54] but im out, got the main thing i wanted and will look into those themes later === Silver is now known as kittenh [06:54] Curious, does anyone know if you can use a USB Serial adapter or Serial PCI Add-on card as a console port for a server? My on-board serial port just keeps dumping random letters like the settings are wrong but they match 100% the server and client machine. [06:55] clarinet: have you seen like... this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/91352/blank-screen-after-ati-video-card-installation-on-ubuntu-11-10-amd64 [06:55] Like im pretty sure there are a bunch of other people who have had this issue. [06:55] ZzBomb, OK, thanks. [06:56] That's not such a good article but yea. Thats totally something that is all over the forums and such if you look around [06:56] ZzBomb, Yeah. [06:57] clarinet: You most likely just need to install the ati drivers which I assume would remove the nvidia ones. Although I dont really know, never had an ATI card.. all my stuff is nvidia [06:57] http://mrrichard.hubpages.com/hub/2-Ways-to-Install-FGLRX-in-Ubuntu-1110-Oneric [06:57] This one looks useful [06:57] You may need to adapt it to you using a terminal though, [06:57] ZzBomb, OK, thank you. [06:58] So to download, use wget. To install just chmod +x then run ./app [06:58] etc etc [06:58] Ok I guess I am done. [07:00] hi, can i install ie browser in ubuntu 11.10?? [07:00] user1, only with wine [07:01] user1: try #wine [07:01] user1: IE requires windows or wine. I suggest you use Firefox instead but its up to you [07:01] ZZbomb, but it is not working when i installed with wine [07:01] try winetricks [07:01] only ie6 iirc works with wine, so it's pretty useless [07:02] when installing ubuntu can i break up the hard disk into 4 logical partitions, and then create in the first partition, for example, create all of my partitions for ubuntu (ie, /, swap, /boot, /home, /tmp, /var, /log)? [07:02] Ive used ie7 in it pretty flawlessly, and i think ie8 works now too [07:02] capecarnation, logicals go in a exteneded [07:02] Haha. Using ie flawlessly. what a joke. [07:02] Where is the Linux mint support channel? [07:03] Canadian1296: ##linuxmint [07:03] #mint ##linuxmint [07:03] Canadian1296: Official support channel is #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:03] urfr332gO, ok, so it's HARD DRIVE -> EXTENDED -> LOGICAL -> PARTITION? [07:04] ZzBomb: Thanks [07:04] capecarnation: or Harddrive -> Primary Partition [07:04] Assuming your structure is msdos [07:04] aka not a mac.... [07:04] capecarnation, why would you want to break it up like that kinda old school. [07:05] urfr332gO: Mine right now goes [primary][primary][primary][extended[logical][logical]]. Stupid manufacturer included 4 primaries, took me forever to rearrange it to allow extras. [07:05] urfr332gO, i thought that was the way everyone did it? i would like to have one of the extended partitions for ubuntu, another extended partition for a "test bed for distros", and yet another extended partition for putting all of my music on. [07:06] capecarnation: if you only want 3, just do 3 primaries. [07:06] ZzBomb, I have 3 primaries to but W7, NTFS shared, and The W8 released today, I don'y reall use windows though I just feel sorry for those that do. [07:06] hi [07:06] don't [07:06] fgf [07:07] urfr332gO: I test things virtually. [07:07] ZzBomb, I have a netbook not really enough power. [07:07] urfr332gO, i certainly don't use windows. been burned too many times. i do wonder if my son will be able to play his Jump Start software in linux, though. hopefully wine will support that. [07:07] Ah... [07:07] aaa [07:07] ;P [07:07] urfr332gO: yar.. I have a 15" w/ an i7. Wonderful specs for price. :3 [07:08] aa [07:08] ZzBomb, that face you made almost looks like a cat face. just need the whiskers ;) [07:08] ZzBomb, I might buy something with more umph in grad school. [07:08] capecarnation: that's what it was :P [07:09] urfr332gO: I was thinking about buying a netbook soon but it looks like tablet would be better for what I would be using it for. [07:09] I just dont think tablets have come quite as far as I want them to before I buy one. [07:10] ZzBomb, yeah. [07:10] that's what i was thinking. tablets seem to be going out the door. they should just make netbooks that have touch-screen functionality built in so that you can completely open up the netbook 'til it's flat on the table (both sides), then use the touch screen. [07:10] Hey guys [07:10] Tablets are a joke if you want a serious computer. [07:10] i need some help [07:11] do any of you know a good screen recording software [07:11] which screencasts myself even [07:11] !! [07:11] zayan recordmydesktop [07:11] capecarnation: that is what I have always dreamt about, being able to silide and have different keybaord/controllers! [07:11] oh ill check that out thanks! [07:11] it's just amazing if they have made something like that ! [07:12] capecarnation: No i mean, tablets are pushing netbooks out of the way.. Since basically those new "Ultrabooks" keep getting smaller the netbook category is fading. So I am just waiting for tablets to improve a little more. They are in no way going away. [07:13] have never heard of Ultrabooks. why can't they just make netbooks to look like giant slider phones that use for texting :) [07:13] Ha. Because that would be impossible to use. Who has big enough hands? [07:13] by the way, is there a better brick and mortar place to buy laptops then best buy? their selection is abysmal, looks worse than it did a year ago. [07:14] frys [07:14] ZzBomb, no it wouldn't. the keyboard would be the size of the netbooks, it would just slide in underneath the screen when the user only wants to be in tablet mode. [07:14] capecarnation: one of the reasions that they are not making them is that the technology used for smartphone/tablets screens are pretty expensive. it would make the laptops pretty unafordable. [07:15] it would? wouldn't the competition only make the laptops cheaper? [07:16] What does noapic mean?(grub boot loader parameter) [07:16] i think the edubuntu install has 'stalled' on my other computer. ....funny, just as i type this (after waiting damn near30 minutes), it's about finished installing. my son is tickled to death to have his own computer :) [07:16] hi, in ubuntu 11.10 bluetooth device is not activating, even when i press bluetoth button. === newbie|3 is now known as pyrokamileon [07:18] capecarnation: the competation will make things cheaper, but not cheaper then what it costs to make them. the multitouch is pretty expensive and it gets more expensive as your screen size. [07:18] Does anyone know what "noapic" stand for?(grub boot loader parameter) [07:18] IIRC, the price of multitouch is exponetional to the screen size. [07:19] ok im gunna do some work, laterz [07:20] action hemmmm [07:20] ome, gotcha.. hadn't thought of that. [07:20] nice talking to you, ZzBomb [07:21] clarinet i used to play that instrument 6th grade through 11th grade, many years ago :) === reith2004__ is now known as reith2004 [07:23] whats a good channel where I can get help with Testdisk? [07:23] capecarnation, Oh, for 5 year. I only played for 1 year, many years ago too. [07:24] capecarnation, do you like it? [07:27] did i like the clarinet? not sure, really. my embechure (or however you spell that) wasn't correct for the reeds, and i quickly fell in love with percussion. i never took music that seriously, and regret it. looking back, had i done so, i would have for sure gone onto DCI. can you imagine being in the Blue Devils percussion? :D [07:29] So some of you may recognize me - but here's the situation: I have a 3tb raid that took a dump. I have a backup of it from about a month ago, I have the contents of what I retrieved from the raid with testdisk, and I have the original raid which I've fsck'd with a backup superblock (with errors of course) [07:29] capecarnation, different fingering for every octave, I used to play reeds and jazz professionally. [07:29] What's the best/easiest way to go about this? I figured that if I did a binary comparison between what was on the fsck'd system vs the month old backup I could verify the integrity and potentially restore anything that is corrupted. [07:30] Then I need to look at the fsck'd and the testdisk files vs. the month old backup to see how many of the intermediate files I can restore. [07:30] I look forward to any suggestions on how to accomplish all this. [07:35] capecarnation, I don't know so much about Blue Devils. [07:36] clarinet, go to youtube, type in blue devils percussion and enjoy. unreal how tight their line is. other great ones, too. phantom regiment, santa clara vanguard, cavaliers (rosemont, il)..... [07:37] capecarnation, OK.

[09:49] fairuz you can copy the file out and restore it afterwards [09:50] n00gie: But if I restore it afterwards, it will be sources list for oneiric (local mirror) right? [09:51] getting this error when trying to use lightdm black screen. here is log file for lightdm http://pastie.org/3495135 [09:51] fairuz yea, generally you can do a search and replace to replace 'oneiric' with whatever the new nickname is [09:52] hello [09:52] plz reply the above question [09:52] n00gie: Ok good enough for me. I'm just wondering what will the upgrade process do. Replace the sources.list with a new one, or just take the old sources.list and replace oneiric by precise. [09:52] ans [09:53] If it's the latter, I don't have to modify teh sources.list after the upgrade [09:53] *the [09:54] fairuz you may be safer to remove your own customizations to the sources.list. i think the upgrade does a search and replace but i am not sure.

[09:55] how can I fix a directory that appears corrupt ? (can't ls or rm -r it, the commands just hang), fsck didn't find any problems with the disk [09:56] n00gie: I will just try then :). Will take a bit of time to reinstall oneiric and re-upgrade, but worth the knowledge. Thanks! [09:56] I use local mirror (setup using apt-cacher) to upgrade one of my machine from 11.10 to 12.04..... [09:56] anyone wanna be my ubuntu friend? [09:56] soreau: Well I can change the question *from 11.04 to 11.10 [09:56] jiffe1 what's the error message with ls? [09:57] My question is related to the upgrade process. [09:57] fairuz: #ubuntu+1 [09:57] Does anyone know where I sohuld look if Ubuntu doesn't boot properly? It doesn't get passed the loading screen, it quickly goes black [09:57] Artificial: Have you tried nomodeset? what graphics card is it? [09:58] Artificial, boot in recovery mode (network mode) and have a look at the logs or just apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [09:58] I have a radeon 6950 [09:58] Using amd catalyst [09:58] Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue? My unity launcher icons are spread far apart, has annoying progress bar on it. [10:00] h === Companion is now known as CoMpAnIoN [10:03] would you say debian is more stable than ubuntu? === CoMpAnIoN is now known as Companion [10:03] bluefrog, update and dist-upgrade did nothing, any specific logs I should be looking at? [10:03] sharpK: I would say Ubuntu is quite stable when used with the right DE. In my experience, KDE is nicht gut. [10:04] Abooda: is unity the right DE? because I am on IRC every single day with random hickups and errors, it's like windows 98.... [10:04] granted, I'm new to all this, but still quite time-consuming... [10:05] I am on Gnome 2.x, haven't moved to Unity [10:05] sharpK: what problems are you having? what do you get when you put "top" in a commandline? which programs eat your resources? [10:06] Artificial, then from recovery mode I would add a test user (password test) and try to log in with that one. user.log [10:06] bluefrog I don't get to the log in screen [10:06] Artificial, to add a user: adduser test [10:06] I'm logged in via command line at the moment [10:06] I wish I could tell you that right now, but my ubuntu box isn't starting up and giving me a "Checking battery state.... [ OK ]" without ever loading, tried the [SOLVED] community post but it's still giving me the error... [10:06] Artificial, oh thought you entered your credentials and then black screen.. [10:07] Nope [10:07] Its literally as soon as it gets past grub and you see the ubuntu loading screen [10:07] For 1 second or so === Jaddie is now known as Jaddie|Work [10:07] though past errors have included xbmc freezing up the whole system, multi monitor setup being a nightmare, and various other things that havne't been smooth though seem like they should be (maybe I am spoiled coming from windows 7) [10:07] sharpK: try loading a previous kernel? or can you not even get that far? did this happen just after installing Unity? [10:08] sharpK: not had any of those issues here [10:08] abooda: this just happenned right now after rebooting... not exactly sure how/why... [10:08] Artificial, syslog, dmesg, kern.log [10:08] sharpK: my media pc which works 100% OOTB, took 2 hours to find sound drivers and crank the page file... [10:08] bluefrog, thanks - I'll take a look [10:08] actionparsnip, what do you use for your multimonitor setup? I used the nvidia control panel which gave me lots of random errors/hickups... [10:08] Artificial, and if you have the choice of different kernel, try booting using a previous one [10:08] sharpK: you've probably done something wrong with your hardware setup .... this is not a Ubuntu issue. Do you get the chance to load a previous kernel? [10:09] bluefrog, tried that - tried booting in to all of them, same issue [10:09] abooda: how would one load a previous kernel? (I can SSH into it and issue terminal commands) [10:09] sharpK: no no, when you first boot, you get a list of kernels loaded, like choosing "safe mode" [10:09] sharpK: can you use safe mode? [10:09] Abooda: let me restart and try to catch it [10:10] sharpK: not use multimonitor. I have 1 monitor for 4 systems :) [10:10] sharpK: if I did though, i'd use an nvidia gpu [10:10] sharpK: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig to get things started [10:11] abooda: weird, this restart it went through... it comes and goes like that, sometimes freezing on the checking battery, then I wait like 10 minutes, restart, and boots into unity... [10:12] what's mean of the ubuntu [10:12] Hey all, I have a problem. In the Update Manager I have "Unity appmenu integration for FireFox" that does not want to update, I can't select it and I can't remove it [10:12] sharpK: is this the first time it happened? try going through what ActionParsnip said ... see if it helps for later. [10:12] any suggestions would be most appreciated [10:12] ActionParsnip, unless I'm mistaken it has a GUI which I've used to configure a bunch of settings (using a monitor + a TV output), but it was super messy, especially with xbmc, and I would always get hangups and frozen systems... [10:12] abooda: will do thanks [10:12] bluefrog: no error message, it just hangs [10:13] jiffe1, only on a certain folder? l for all other folders works? [10:13] sharpK: you may need an xorg.conf file to steady things off, if you run nvidia-settings with gksudo, you can then export the settings to the file and it may help [10:14] sharpK: not sure about xbmc with stability, its a 3rd party app so not supported here [10:15] actionparsnip, possibly, but speaking of the devil, I just booted into unity, an error that goes below the screen (can't press close) with all the "trying mode resolutionxresolution pass 0 failures", the system is haning and I can see the mouse move but can't do anything... === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial [10:15] jiffe1 are you using NFS? [10:15] sharpK: what nvidia GPU do you have? [10:15] sharpK: you need to use nvidia's tool for multi-monitor setup [10:16] nvidia does not support xrandr, and so standard desktop tools don't support it [10:16] ActionParsnip some entry-level geforce card from like a year or two back... [10:16] don't recall the exact model... [10:16] sharpK: what error messages did you get? [10:16] n00gie: that's what I am using and got the error.... [10:16] sharpK: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [10:17] jiffe1, and lastly how many folder/files do you think you have in there? [10:17] n00gie: could not apply the stored configurtion for monitors none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes: trying modes for CRTC 354: and then a humongous list that goes off screen of different resolutions and hertz.... [10:17] ActionParsnip: let me try that through ssh.... (can't do anything on the ubuntu box but see the error and the mouse move) [10:17] sharpK: what monitors and what kind of connection are you using? [10:18] ActionParsnip: oneiric [10:18] jiffe1 and you could strace to in case there is something obvious in the output (you may be lucky) strace ls [10:18] sharpK: and if you run: lspci | grep -i vga what GPU is it? [10:18] n00gie: one is an LCD (vga I think), and the other is a panasonic tv (hdmi)... [10:19] sharpK: what resolutions do they support? [10:19] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 220] (rev a2) [10:19] sharpK: you could try the xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh more stable) [10:19] sharpK: sometimes TVs lie about being 1080p. [10:20] n00gie, I am pretty sure standard resolutions for the lcd (can't recall exactly) and the tv is 1080p (worked with windows, at least) [10:20] and with TVs smaller than 40" you won't see much difference [10:20] sharpK: what resolutions did you try to assign to each of the displays? [10:20] sharpK: there is no standard resolution for lcd. [10:22] n00gie: whatever had them actually working when I was messing with the nivida control panel... I got it to work but at the cost of stability it seemed, especially when running xbmc on one of them and using the other... [10:22] hi [10:22] n00gie: I know, but I can't recall exactly, it's a non-widescreen LCD, probably something like 1024x768 since it's pretty small [10:22] im on my notebook, and my display gets very dark after about 10-30 seconds of inactivity.. this is annoying. how can i disable this? [10:23] actionparsnip: would it be a good idea to do a reformat/reinstall of ubuntu, not sure i installed a lot of these drivers proerply and may have some really bad settings if you say your operation's smooth... [10:23] sharpK: you installd the nvidia drivers from ubuntu repositories yea? [10:23] hexer [10:23] sharpK: also, try setting the displays to slightly lower resolutins than you know they support. [10:23] see if that works [10:23] I just wanted to share this song that is stuck in my head for the past 2 days. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcm55lU9knw&feature=share [10:23] n00gie whatever apt-get was on the community forums (or someone gave me here on IRC) [10:25] hex20dec: please don't post such links here [10:25] trying to restart unity with "unity" over SSH and I'm getting: unity-panel-service: no process found === jf1976 is now known as Guest85050 [10:26] hexer [10:27] sharpK: did you connect with X forwarding? [10:27] n00gie not sure, let me try and see in putty settings [10:28] sharpK: anyway, why would you want to restart unity via ssh? [10:28] hi all im just about to try an update my BIOS using the dellBiosUpdate only im running from livecd as i have no HDD, and the guide im using as a reference http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2008/12/07/upgrade-downgrade-your-dell-bios-on-ubuntu/ says i need to add reboot=bios to my menu.lst ? is this needed or can i update using livecd ? thanks.. [10:28] n00gie cause the whole thing is hung up... I can move my mouse and see that giant error, but can't actually do anything... and I'm scared to restart so I don't get that "checking battery state [OK]" deal again which freezes on boot... [10:29] Guest85050: you cannot do it from a livecd. [10:29] Hey all, I have a problem. In the Update Manager I have "Unity appmenu integration for FireFox" that does not want to update, I can't select it and I can't remove it [10:29] any suggestions would be most appreciated [10:29] n00gie, ? not at all ? [10:30] hex [10:30] hexer [10:30] Guest85050: yes, because the changes you make to that file wiwll be lost when you reboot. [10:31] Guest85050: which means they won't allow you to boot in the appropriate mode. [10:31] Having trouble with a canon mp550 printer.

Thanks for sending me back there :-) [10:36] i setup grub in ubuntu. now I am trying to update backtrack 5 R1 to R2 per the instructions on their home page, but during the dist-upgrade process the install is failing because the postinst hook script cannot complete update-grub [10:36] L0k3y: what's the issue?

[10:38] n00gie, any performance issues between the two of them? [10:38] precisepangolin: you will need to install relevant 32-bit libraries [10:39] n00gie: not really. x86 and amd64 don't differ too much. [10:39] i have i64, does it work? [10:39] what is i64? [10:39] Intel x64 [10:39] what processor? core i3? i5? i7? [10:39] n00gie: itanium [10:40] n00gie: doesn't it support amd64? [10:40] core 2 :D [10:40] it does [10:40] precisepangolin: well, its amd64. [10:40] thanks [10:40] precisepangolin: and amd64 can run 32 bit code perfectly. you will simply install 32-bit libraries. skype on ubuntu for instance, is a 32-bit app. [10:41] how bout compability issues? [10:41] just run your apps already. there are no issues. [10:41] n00gie: there is a 64bit skype deb in the skype site [10:42] ActionParsnip: the point was just to demonstrate that it is possible to run 32 bit apps in a 64-bit ubuntu.

[11:21] SeySayux: thats such a tiny difference... [11:21] Hulkerinho: /media/DE7B-2F17 is your card, yep! [11:21] ok great [11:21] thanks a bunch [11:21] Hulkerinho: It should also show up in the file manager [11:21] Error in text above -- I noticed inside sys/stat.h that it said #include /* For __mode_t and __dev_t. */ [11:21] yeah it does [11:21] sweet [11:22] ActionParsnip: Let me assure you it's quite noticable when put next to each other. [11:22] i just didn't know the DE7B-2F17 part was imortant :) [11:22] Hulkerinho: yep :D. /media is where all mounted media gets thrown, including CDs and such [11:22] thanks Shirakawasuna [11:22] so there's separate names [11:22] ActionParsnip: I'm running Ubuntu seamless in a VM on Mac OS X, so yea, they're next to each other. [11:22] no problem Hulkerinho! [11:22] SeySayux: just have to keep digging, doesn't look like anyone else has replied.. [11:23] SeySayux: could make your mac os look like ubuntu instead [11:23] ActionParsnip: Mac OS X isn't themable. [11:23] Lol @ ActionParsnip. [11:23] (or at least, not AFAIK) [11:23] SeySayux: Sure it is, just hax it! [11:23] How do I add files/directories to the new unity launcher? [11:24] SeySayux: sounds about right for an apple product, keep choice to a minimum [11:24] ajl7c7: drag them from dash [11:24] rly? I thought I tried that [11:24] Sure that works with files? [11:24] Hey Koen [11:24] ActionParsnip: There used to be third party retheming applications, but the way themes are handled changed on Lion, and those applications haven't updated yet. [11:25] ajl7c7: you may need to make a .desktop in /usr/share/applications file with an extra menu item on the right click [11:25] SeySayux: thats pretty poor [11:26] ajl7c7: they are called service menus if memory serves [11:26] @ActionParsnip ok, cheers :) [11:26] Hoping somone can point me in the right direction here, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 desktop, every time I try to do a VNC to my computer, I can see my desktop, but it never refreshes. If I open up anything from VNC nothing happens, but if I go to the actual computer, whatever I clicked has been opened. Can anyone tell me where I might look to fix this? [11:26] ActionParsnip: Anyways, thanks for the help :) [11:26] shawny: if you log in to Unity2D, does it work ok? [11:27] Alright I've done the nominee set [11:27] I want to know is nameserver and subdomain is same ? or different [11:27] But it gets stuck on the Ubuntu screen with 4 dots [11:28] ActionParsnip ~ I haven't tried, but I was thinking about that. The wierd part is I have the same setup on my laptop, and if I do a VNC from my desktop to the laptop its fine. [11:28] can any one tell me how I can see if my dhcp is running [11:29] shawny: i seem to remember compiz messing stuff up (no suprises there) [11:29] hi, bluetooth device is not enable in ubuntu 11.10 [11:29] playman: are you on the dhcp server itself?

[11:31] user1: if you run: dmesg | grep -i blue do you see the adapter detected? [11:32] Any news on 12.04 beta? [11:32] ActionParsnip: the terminal gave me 2 line that I dont get [11:33] branant: ask in #ubuntu+1 [11:33] ActionParsnip: any idea what this error is about? [11:33] Kaltiz_: no idea, sorry [11:33] branant: not yet. you should ask in #ubuntu+1, like ActionParsnip said ^^ [11:34] playman: you can pastebin the output if you want [11:35] ActionParsnip: what should the boot command look like?

I've been looking at the stat() structure and I seen there was a type in there called __mode_t so I went looking for it. I noticed inside sys/stat.h that it said #include /* For __mode_t and __dev_t. */ So, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and I go searching after this Include/bits/types.h Come to find out its not there. I do a whereis types.h and get bukkas... [11:43] Anyone know why? After searching google I found bits/types.h and found __mode_t but I want to know how to do it inside my own damn terminal. [11:43] so stat() says to look at sys/stat.h we look at it and it says >> #include /* For __mode_t and __dev_t. */ >> Well ok lets look at bits/types.h and we see >> 65: typedef __u_int __mode_t; /* Type of file attribute bitmasks. */ >> Ok perfect so we look at >> 34: typedef unsigned int __u_int; >> OK GREAT WE ARE DONE... BUT WE DID THIS ALL ON THE INTERNET.... NOT ON THE UBUNTU [11:43] 11.10 SYSTEM BECAUSE THE FUCKING FILES AREN'T JIVING... WHICH IS BULLSHIT.

Now it recognizes the usb and shows the connections. When i try to connect, it keep asking the authentication key.when i put it, it stays a while trying to connect, then re-ask the password [11:53] user1: and do you have the latest BIOS? are there any bugs reported for that model>? [11:53] fhsales: #ubuntu+1 for Precise support [11:53] So could I do the same thing with Ubuntu Server MonkeyDust? [11:54] Hi all. I have an RTL 8168 NIC. I've compiled the driver and installed it, and it works, but the next time I reboot, it looks as if r8169 is loaded again. I removed it from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net and specified r8168 as the preferred driver, but somehow it's ignored and r8169 is still loaded. What's going on? [11:54] Actionparnship - no bugs, but when i shutdown for sometime its enabled but wireless network not connect. [11:54] fhsales, what issues are you having? [11:54] ActionPasnip thank you very much. [11:54] computer_ dunno, but Zentyal is Ubuntu based, too -- it used to have a different name, i forget which [11:54] acidonyx (08:53:00) fhsales: ActionParsnip, i was trying to install my usb wireless adapter on ubuntu 10.04 but it never worked.then i just upgraded it to 12.04. Now it recognizes the usb and shows the connections.When i try to connect, it keep asking the authentication key.when i put it, it stays a while trying to connect, then re-ask the password [11:55] locsmif: run: echo "blacklist r8169" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and reboot [11:55] Cool thanks for the info [11:55] computer_ i think it was Boxeee [11:55] ActionParsnip: allright thanks :D but it's still strange, i'm trying to run clonezilla server on 10.04 and on another computer I boot it up from Clonezilla live cd, somehow I dont get a handshake between them, I even tried etherboot and I got a timeout from it, you know what could be wrong? [11:55] playman: i'd ask in the clonezilla channel [11:57] ActionParsnip: ah lol, I never thought of checking if they had a channel thanks [11:58] ActionParsnip Installing Ubuntu from a CD seems to have fixed my problem. [11:59] acidonyx did you see what i wrote? [11:59] Kaltiz: sweet :0 [11:59] ActionParsnip: ty [11:59] ActionParsnip unfortunately nobody answers me on ubuntu+1 can you help me? [12:00] ActionParsnip: will do. Just out of curiosity: how is it possible r8169 is still listed in lsmod when it's not even in the kernel's module directory? [12:00] fhsales maybe you have to be more patient [12:01] locsmif: not sure, i'm not too familiar with kernels. Sorry [12:01] ActionParsnip: np, tx [12:01] fhsales: your release is offtopic here [12:02] Monkeydust, actually nobody is talking in the channel body. [12:02] fhsales: you waited a few minutes for a response [12:02] fhsales: that is not acceptable in a developemtn channel, there is no support for your release and that is one of the decisions you make when beta testing, wait for someone to be free in #ubuntu+1 [12:04] I want to install debian by usb stick, and who can help me. [12:04] newer: what OS are you running now? [12:04] Hi, I'm trying to output some data from awk (shasum piped to awk to just get the checksum: http://pastebin.com/MN4uusmn), but when I try to compare with a test file it claims it's not equal tho they are. (example output: http://pastebin.com/hNSdxwuw) [12:04] newer: the people in #debian can [12:04] newer: grab the debian ISO, MD5 test it and use unetbootin to put it on a USB device [12:04] newer there's Unetbootin and MultiSystem [12:05] ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/3495811 at the bottom of the file is the apt-get upgrade [12:05] fhsales: what are you trying, WPA2? [12:06] locsmif: it is not on topic for this channel, please end discussion [12:06] ikonia: sure [12:06] hi all! i'm running ubuntu server 11.04. I was just curious, is there a cronjob that clears /var/log/ by default? [12:06] sinedeviance: house keeping [12:06] hi just installed 11.10 on an ibm, i want to get rid of unity and use gnome. how do i do it ? [12:06] hey guys i found a usefull software how do i install it? At the software site it is avaliable a "*.deb" file [12:06] kalimojo: unity is gnome, [12:06] locsmif. WAP2 [12:06] ikonia: can I talk in #ubuntu+1 [12:07] locsmif: sure [12:07] !nounity| kalimojo [12:07] kalimojo: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [12:07] Okay [12:07] kalimojo: you can select which one to use from the drop down menu at login too [12:07] ikonia i want the gnome shell [12:07] ikonia: uh... is that it /etc/cron.d ? i'm not seeing it anywhere [12:07] kalimojo: then follow the info ubottu just gave you [12:07] CommaCrazy: if you go to: http://ppa.launchpad.net/backbox/two/ubuntu/dists it only supports up to natty [12:07] sinedeviance: sorry, I missunderstood what you where saying [12:07] ? [12:08] Hello ! [12:08] CommaCrazy: the package is kept back as it is ready but the dependancies of that package are not met, when the time comes, it will install [12:08] so there's NOT a cronjob that cleans out /var/log by default? [12:08] sinedeviance: by cleaning out, do you mean deleting all the files in there? [12:08] warfaren: yeah. say, for example, once a week. or so. [12:08] Hi, I'm trying to compare some data from awk (shasum piped to awk to just get the checksum: http://pastebin.com/MN4uusmn) with a parameter, but when I try to compare with a test file it claims it's not equal tho they are. (example output: http://pastebin.com/hNSdxwuw) [12:09] sinedeviance: there is logrotate [12:09] sinedeviance: that runs by default I believe [12:09] sinedeviance: no i dont think it does that. typically it rotates the logs (moves the logs to new files with .1 .2 .3 etc at the end of the file name) [12:09] Thor^^: so you need to repeat it every 4 minutes? [12:10] so that the log files don't get too big. they remain in the same catalogue though [12:10] sinedeviance: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/how-to-i-clear-all-my-apache-log-files-844259/ may help [12:10] ikonia, warfaren: okay. well, logrotate seems to be installed, but my log files never get any prefixes or suffixes in their names [12:10] instead, i have really huge log files [12:10] syslog is up to 200 megs now [12:10] sinedeviance: for how long has the machine been running? [12:10] oh woah [12:10] sounds like logrotate isn't working correctlhy [12:10] warfaren: well the machine auto-reboots every day at 6:30am. i do that because it's a web server and rebooting clears APC cache. [12:11] I have 32gb of free space on my hdd, how can I tell ubuntu to install in that space? [12:11] so I just dropped compiz and now my desktop is different. Any idea why the running apps are showing on the top title bar....right over top of the File Edit View .... that is not usuable in the top bar.....also, VNC still does the same thing.... [12:11] warfaren: yerp :D that's why i finally came here. googling the problem didn't help much [12:11] sinedeviance: whoaaaa who set it to auto boot ? [12:11] Kaltiz you can do that in the Ubuntu installer [12:11] I can't seem to find the option ;/ [12:11] maybe that affects it. like if the log rotation is set to be done somewhere around that time it gets missed. in that case anacron is your friend (it does all the jobs that cron missed) but i don't know if that runs by default [12:12] ikonia: i did. i added the line to crontab. i WANT it to do that. [12:12] Kaltiz choose 'something else' to do it manually [12:12] warfaren: logrotate doesn't show up in any crons [12:12] Yes I have [12:12] But it says 32gb is unusable [12:12] sinedeviance: where are you looking for logrotate ? [12:12] Kaltiz maybe you hav e to format it [12:12] sinedeviance: yeah i think the ones that are set to ru nby default isn't visible in /etc/crontab for example. btw perhaps there's another way you can make it clear your APC cache without rebooting? [12:13] I have a Windows install already on it [12:13] ikonia: logrotate is already installed. i'm just looking for a command that would run it in all the cron files, and none exists [12:13] sinedeviance: sorry, I meant where are you looking for the cron files ? [12:13] warfaren: it's easier and better this way [12:13] Kaltiz is it free or do you have windows installed on it? [12:13] rebooting only takes 30 seconds so it's literally a negligible amount of downtime [12:13] it is free [12:13] it is says "free space 32.2gb up the top [12:14] but in the partition list it also says 32.2 gb is unusable [12:14] Kaltiz in the live cd, use gparted to see more [12:14] ikonia: /etc/cron* [12:14] Kaltiz: how many partitions do you have on the system [12:14] sinedeviance: so cron.daily etc etc [12:14] I believe I have 4 [12:14] where do I set ntp server address/ip ? [12:15] Kaltiz: that is why then [12:15] warfaren: if i don't reboot the system automatically every morning, then php-fcgi causes my VM's ram to fill up. rebooting clears that, as well as the APC cache it runs on [12:15] ? [12:15] Kaltiz: you cannot create more than 4 partitions without an extended dos partition on a dos based partition table [12:15] ikonia: yep. i grep'd /etc/cron* for logrotate [12:16] hey guys im trying to install a software here at a.deb file, and i have to know what processor type i have, how do i know that? [12:16] sinedeviance: so are you saying something is clearing the logs down, or you want something to clear the logs down ? === cc_ is now known as CC_v5 [12:16] chown_: ubuntu 32bit or 64bit? [12:16] there is not /etc/ntp.conf in there [12:16] ikonia: i want to clear the logs, yeah [12:16] sinedeviance: i installed 32 [12:16] chown_: then use i686 [12:16] sinedeviance: ahhh setup logrotate then, you'll find it's sport on [12:16] chown_: cat /proc/cpuinfo gives you info about your CPU [12:16] then how do I install ubuntu? [12:16] sinedeviance: sorry, I thought you where saying something WAS clearing the log downs [12:16] Kaltiz: you need to have a free partition [12:16] chown_: if you have a 64bit CPU you can run ubuntu 64, btw. in that case, you'd use amd_64 [12:17] I need to delete one of my current partitions? [12:17] or create another in Windows? [12:17] ikonia: nah, i want to clear the logs that aren't getting cleared :D [12:17] sinedeviance: logrotate will sort you out [12:17] Kaltiz select to unused space to install ubuntu [12:17] There is no option [12:18] hmm.. anyone know howto use my wifi usb inside VirtualBox when its up and running in ifconfig but not in Wicd manager? only eth0 from VB are there? no wifi net [12:18] When I select the free space [12:18] Kaltiz there is, but you do not seem to find it [12:18] MonkeyDust: there isn't because he's already got 4 partitions [12:18] it says " No root file system is defined" [12:18] ikonia: i know, but shouldn't logrotate already be run by default? [12:18] ah, i was away from my desk, sorry [12:18] sinedeviance: my processor is 64bit, but i installed a 32bit OS, but its a intel processor, what does the amd mean? [12:18] sinedeviance: I thought it was installed/setup by default, but I wouldn't bet my life on it [12:19] chown_: if you have a 64bit processor you really should be using ubuntu 64bit to take advantage of that, but 32bit will work fine as well. amd_64 is what 64-bit is considered in the unix world, because AMD (as in, the company that makes AMD cpus) designed the original 64-bit spec. [12:20] chown_: how much ram do you have? [12:20] anyone knows how to configure "set time : (radio button) automatically from internet" ?? please help !! [12:20] http://code.google.com/p/synergy/downloads/list wich one should i downoad? [12:20] ikonia: fair enough, i'll see if i can figure out what's going on. thanks! [12:20] ActionParsnip: 4, but im using 3.2 because of the 32 bit installations [12:21] So I have to delete some partitions or what? [12:21] chown_: apt-get install quicksynergy [12:21] chown_: you can use the PAE kernel and see the whole lot. I doubt you will see any benfit of 64bitness. It will make a difference if you want to add more ram [12:22] sinedeviance: logrote is in /etc/cron.daily, which is started from /etc/crontab [12:22] Hi, have anybody here worked with NIS/YP? [12:23] cmol it seems to be a FreeBSD thing [12:23] cmol, whats the real issue [12:24] MonkeyDust: uh, NIS? no, it's unix/linux (old and not secure etc) [12:24] oCean idd, just found it :) [12:25] bazhang, i hace nis running, and it's synchronizing the users fine, but the passwords are not synchronized. [12:25] sinedeviance: suss out /etc/logrotate.d/ [12:26] ive installed gnome-shell now how do i switch to the gnome desktop. i stillget unity when i login ? [12:26] ubuntu is not detecting my pendrive, how do I fix that ? [12:27] bazhang, and strangely the /lib/yp/domain/shadow.findbyuser file is updated fine (on the server) [12:27] kalimojo: at the login screen, you can select your desktop environment (click on the gear I think) [12:27] are there any grub parameters for the kernel that will give me a more verbose output than normal during boot? [12:28] T_H_X: by installing quicksynergy sygergy is installed together? [12:28] ActionParsnip, thank you for answering I appreciate it :) [12:28] chown_: yeap [12:30] Hi!!! [12:30] How I can disable the middle key click of the mouse?? [12:31] hello === seshagiri_ is now known as seshagiri [12:32] Metaphysicist: press ESC during boot and you should see the boot messages [12:33] Good morning :) [12:33] thanks === calico is now known as calico-win === calico-win is now known as calico [12:34] found it with 'grep -r ntp /etc' its tucked inside /etc/default/ntpdate [12:34] ikonia: i figured out the problem and fixed it. logrotate was set to run as part of /cron.daily, but was failing due to a bug in /cron.daily/logrotate [12:34] ActionParsnip: I mean even more verbose. [12:34] i patched it any all works well [12:34] Hmm. For now I'm finding something about editing the makefile for the scripts..... [12:34] Metaphysicist: you could read: dmesg | less after you log in [12:34] and* [12:34] ikonia: thanks again [12:34] sinedeviance: well done [12:35] |-o-| <-o-> |-o-| [12:35] ikonia: yeah, hopefully i won't see any 200mb syslogs anytime soon :D [12:35] in Ubuntu 11.10 if I delete some large amount of data, I can see the File Operations window and at the bottom it shows the approximate amount of time it would take to delete that data... what's the package name of the File Operations window? [12:35] i wanna make a patch [12:35] also it seems auth.log was 2GB! i hadn't even noticed until i looked again [12:36] FredJunior: that is part of nautilus i believe. if you're using gnome, you'll have to edit nautilus sources [12:36] i find the string a little bit ackward [12:36] nautilus, ah thanks [12:36] FredJunior: in any case, that is generally handled by the main file manager on the system [12:36] well... afaik, it is [12:37] i know it's handled by thunar in xfce [12:37] hello [12:37] FredJunior: just a heads up, if you're serious about making a patch you'd need to speak with someone in the GNOME project to submit it [12:37] i dont think GNOME takes patches from random people [12:37] i don't like the string that tells how much has been deleted and how much time it would take to finish [12:38] sinedeviance: it may do if they analyse it. [12:38] example: 137 files to remove---2 minutes left [12:38] actually it's an m dash there [12:39] i dislike the fact that the m dash is not space-separated [12:39] it looks ugly [12:39] can i give permalink with description of my problem [12:39] it should be space-separted === MartinS is now known as Guest80238 [12:40] so where can i file this bug or in which packaage will i find the string to fix it and then make a patch? any idea fellas? [12:40] pls help http://testist.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1 [12:41] FredJunior: yes, file a bug with your patch [12:41] ubi, what is the issue [12:41] ubi: ask away [12:41] big partition of unallocated space [12:41] ubi, so what is the issue [12:41] FredJunior there's also an ubuntu brainstorm page, where you can submit new ideas [12:41] i cant delete ubuntu partition [12:42] ubi: why? [12:42] so i need to get the nautilus source in order to make a patch? [12:42] it wont let me, it gives me option to format whole partition, and that would delete my win XP [12:43] hi guys. I installed an software by compiling its sourcecode. But the Ubuntu don't let me add this software as an default software to open some kind of file (when I right-click on the Icon and select open-with, the ubuntu gives me an list of softwares, but it doen't let me add any other software on this list). How can I do it? [12:43] ubi: What tool are you trying to use? [12:43] i am using gparted [12:43] is nautilus on launchpad? can i get its source by bzr branch lp:nautilus ?? [12:43] in order to change my computer name i have to change: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts? === neersighted is now known as neersighted|AFK [12:43] ubi: It sounds like maybe you are running the installer instead of gparted directly [12:44] FredJunior try sudo apt-source nautilus [12:44] alvesjnr: you need to make a .desktop for it in /usr/share/applications there is a type line (i believe) which tells the OS what sort of app it is and it will list in the options [12:44] ActionParsnip, thanks [12:44] no i am running gparted from usb bootable stick, gparted live [12:44] alvesjnr: I suggest you copy the .desktop of an list of current options and make the changes to it so that it appears in the same list [12:44] ubi: Then it should work [12:45] MonkeyDust: bt then i can't make a patch that way [12:45] ActionParsnip [12:45] is nautilus on launchpad ? [12:45] ActionParsnip: Hey, i have been sent from ubuntu+1 to here. [12:45] is it maintained by bazaar ? [12:45] it does work, please see this post, here is my problem explained http://testist.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1&page=1 [12:46] FredJunior https://launchpad.net/nautilus [12:46] fhsales1: who sent you from #ubuntu+! to here ?

[12:48] fhsales1: \ [12:48] Hi, I've just installed ubuntu 11.10, using a home directory left over from another distro. Now the settings are messed up (ugly fonts etc.). How can I start with a fresh new home directory and fresh new config files? [12:48] fhsales1: Why are you so reluctant to get help in #ubuntu+1? or conversely, why are you so adamant about asking here? [12:48] Finally I think i've done the dual boot install [12:48] soreau: i was talking to people there and they sent me here again. [12:49] ikonia: do you think is a good idea for me to install ubuntu 11.10? [12:49] fhsales1: Well you need to explain that you are using 12.04 and you must get help there [12:49] soreau: yeah, i am doing that right now.:) [12:49] can you tell me where will i find the File Operations window code in nautilus source? [12:50] in which file exactly ? [12:50] ActionParsnip, okay, I did it. But it's not working yet. Maybe I need to restart gnome? [12:50] fhsales1: nothing you have said in either channel makes any sense, so I'm not going to advise you [12:50] FredJunior: If you cant figure it out, you probably dont have any business trying to code a patch [12:51] ikonia: how come?i just said what i am doing. i am not trying to troll anyone. [12:51] i just wanna know where to find the thing [12:51] ikonia: at 09:36 zzecool said to me to come here. see there. [12:51] fhsales1: you referenced someone "kicking" your desktop and then it saying "mode line not supported" but you can't get your wirleless to work etc etc [12:51] i can hack though :) [12:51] FredJunior: Then you better start looking [12:52] pls pls help [12:52] any pointers would be nice :) [12:52] ikonia: that was because my brother arrived and accidentally kicked the no break, shutting down everything and my computer was not turning on anymore.but i solved that. [12:52] FredJunior: I gave you a pointer, dont code if you done know how [12:52] dont* [12:53] Is ubuntu friendly with switchable graphics cards? [12:53] soreau: shut up [12:53] fhsales1: again - nothing's making any sense, so I suggest joining #ubuntu+1 asking for help clearly with your current problem and see if anyone can help [12:53] FredJunior: tone that down [12:53] http://testist.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1 pls help [12:53] FredJunior: unacceptable.

[13:04] <[^_^]KaBo> melvincv Yep, Thank you i already did and waiting the answer [13:04] Hi. I'm just about to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a very old Dell C610 laptop. Running on the LiveCD at the moment and everything seems OK. Should I use ext4 or ext3 for the system partition? [13:05] JonathanEllis: if it is low spec then i'd use lubuntu [13:05] JonathanEllis: ext4 is default, i'd go with that [13:05] Hey, all. I was wondering on entering an entry for the 12.04 LTS countdown banner contest, but I can't seem to figure out how I can upload a submission to the ssubmissions page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/PreciseCountdownBanner. Does anyone know how? [13:05] JonathanEllis what is 'very old'? what are the hardware specs? [13:06] Okay, I have an application running as user:group drostie:drostie. I am a member of the group wireshark. How the hell do I run something as drostie:wireshark? [13:06] qwebirc82012, I was looking for a countdown banner, thanks.

Ive got about 12GB free to partition and I was planning to make the system partition 5GB. [13:06] All of the googling I've done tells me how to setgid which should be totally unnecessary. [13:06] My Jaunty partition is 4.3GB and has free space. [13:06] JonathanEllis: not bad, I'd use Lubuntu, it will give a snappier OS [13:07] melvincv: Alright. Heading over to there. thanks, mate. [13:07] Lubuntu? === ztane_ is now known as Ztane [13:07] how to check users list? help me [13:07] hello. i've activated my Nvidia driver from additional drivers [13:07] Are there any particular pros and cons to ext4 vs ext3? [13:07] i've got high resolution but no drop shadow.. etc.. [13:08] JonathanEllis: fs-driver and partimage can't manipulate ext4 afaik [13:08] drostie: sg (never used it) [13:08] JonathanEllis: lots of pros in ext4. it's not that much different from ext3, just modernized by adding new features [13:08] JonathanEllis: ext4 is a little faster too, its pretty groovy [13:08] For an old machine is it faster? [13:08] jrib: yeah just found that, thankee. :D [13:09] JonathanEllis: should be, yes [13:09] OK. Well I'll try it. What is Lubuntu? === gorusw is now known as HansiSolo [13:09] what is the difference between eth0 and eth0:0? [13:09] hi guys. how can i make my VM client (backtrack in here) to see the shared folders on the host correctly. ?? [13:09] playman: eth0:0 is a sub inteface [13:10] playman: you can have multiple subinterfaces on the same interface, gives the single interface multiple IPs [13:11] hey guys [13:11] So the only options for managing multiple users on multiple Ubuntu desktops on multiple computers on a network is ether Cononical Lanscape or zentyal? Is that right? [13:11] any1 here to help me ? === paaln_ is now known as maedox [13:11] ActionParsnip: ok is that anything like having eth0 and eth1? I mean, If I follow a install guide, and i'm told to have eth0 and eth0:0, would it matter in anyway if I made it eth0 and eth1 instead? [13:12] playman: eth0 and eth1 will be 2 seperate interfaces and you will have 2 wires coming from your system [13:12] the-newsman2, in Virtualbox you need to install the "Guest Additions" before network folders will workm [13:13] I don't use VMware [13:14] Does anyone here use ubuntu and steam? [13:14] Kaltiz: it minght work in wine. Check the appdb [13:14] I heard it might work, I was wondering if it worked well :P [13:14] the-newsman2; You do realise that you are asking about folder sharing Backtrack in VMware in an Ubuntu channel right? [13:15] yes computer i do [13:15] however i belive the same can go for any dist of linuxes [13:15] I got Orbit downloader to work in Wine. hurray! [13:15] the-newsman2, If I where you I would ask your question in the VMware channel [13:16] my problem is, if i write the exact location manually, it works fine. but the BT itself cannt find the sahred folders [13:16] ActionParsnip: yeah, I know that, but would it make the program not work if I used eth0 and eth1 instead of eth0 and eth0:0? [13:16] the-newsman2: #backtrack-linux is there you need to be [13:16] hello, I've downloaded something that says do not unpack as root, what does this mean? [13:16] (please) [13:16] so i can see, and cannt see in the same time the outisde folders [13:16] the-newsman2, Make a short cut? [13:16] the-newsman2: #backtrack-linux is there you need to be please. [13:16] computer_: sorry, we don't pickup back track support in here [13:17] Fusrodah: it means don't use the root user to unpack it [13:17] computer_, yes i can [13:17] how do I know if I'm using a root user [13:17] Fusrodah: your username would be "root" [13:17] ikonia: I think it is more a VMware support question [13:17] the-newsman2: - PLEASE, #backtrack-linux [13:17] ActionParsnip: Looking at the website for lubuntu, it doesnt look very mature. Is it really necessary with a Pentium III 1GHz and 1GB RAM? [13:17] ok where can I find my username? [13:17] computer_: it's vmware support on backtrack so #vmware or #backtrack-linux [13:17] Fusrodah: you logged in with it [13:17] hello. I am just confused by encodings. Umlauts are working well on all kde- or gnome-components, or other apps and on ttys. The output of "locale" seems ok (de_DE@UTF-8"). The preferences window of gnome-terminal show umlauts in the font test window. But, the default encoding was ansix3.4-1968 --> umlauts result in a '?'. Using utf-8 encoding results in control chars. Remote connection on the same terminal to other machines shows umlauts corre [13:17] ctly.Any hints? (natty 11.04) [13:18] ActionParsnip: Jaunty was more or less OK on this machine [13:18] ikonia, Yar [13:18] I use my own name to log on [13:18] Fusrodah: then you are not root [13:18] Thats nice Fusrodah [13:18] ikonia, r u ok ?

[13:20] hi [13:20] bros, anyone here? [13:20] deepu: you can see people chatting......do you think people are here ? [13:21] deepu, everyone's here, just ask your question...

[13:22] computer_: yeah, simple things like ldap for example [13:23] Fusrodah, no need to be sorry :) [13:23] Fusrodah, which browser is that? [13:23] Cool thanks ikonia [13:23] some secure browser called Tor? === adrian is now known as Guest74163 [13:24] yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [13:24] eskiador95: please don't do that [13:24] buenas [13:24] Hi. I just purchased a external hard drive. its usb 3.0 compliant. My ubuntu computer has a motherboard with a usb 3.0 compliant ports. And as far as I can tell, I am not getting the higher transfer rate. Is there something I need to do, like install a kernel module to enable 3.0 speeds? [13:25] Ooooooh, so in Linux land Domain management = Directory Access Management? Yes? [13:25] frikiiiss [13:25] detrix42, how do you know you're not maxing out the drive I/O as opposed to the USB I/O? [13:27] so if I want to run as root, how do I do that? and how would I change back [13:27] mosno: I am transferring movies to it. I tried the 3.0 port, the file transfer dialog reported 20Mbs/sec then I tried in a usb 2.0 port, got the same speed. [13:27] uuuuuuuuuuu === joel is now known as Guest71285 [13:27] detrix42, my question stands... [13:28] mosno: so the file dialog does not report proper speed then....hmmmm [13:29] mosno: so how do I know for sure. [13:29] there are too many long weird codes just to do simple things :( [13:30] mosno: how do I find out for sure what speed the usb 3.0 port is transferring at? === Guest71285 is now known as joel_ === joel_ is now known as gargamel_ [13:30] detrix42, i'm saying that maybe your drives can only run that fast perhaps [13:31] mosno: ahhh. ok [13:32] what fusrodah said.. in windows; there are too many clicks buried beneath too many levels of windows and preferences just to do simple things.. [13:32] Is it easy to implement a time limit for users with LDAP? [13:32] god-zotac, RIGHT ON! [13:33] The basic OS work-flow in fragmented to the war-zoo [13:34] To me it is a direct reflection of the corporate culture inside of Redmond [13:34] computer_: what are you talking about ?

[13:38] after noon guys [13:38] computer_: a time limit to do what / [13:38] Yes ikonia like in Windows Domains [13:39] computer_: a time limit to do what ? [13:39] Why to log the off ikonia [13:39] computer_: do you mean active working hours ? [13:39] Would anyone know the answer to this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1933935 ? [13:39] computer_: or auto log off after a certain time [13:39] To limit a user computer time [13:39] MadsRC: the guys in #bash are best palced [13:40] placed [13:40] To set a limit for the maximum hour a user can use a computer for in a day [13:40] computer_: I've never seen that setting, but as there is an AD mirror schema for ldap, it should be possible [13:41] am trying to find another software centre for ubuntu i had it before but cannot find what was the name of it do any one know any other then the one comes with ubuntu? [13:41] So to do everything I want to do in LDAP it is all text based config files yes] [13:42] computer_: no, it's an ldap directoy, exactly the same as AD [13:42] There is no GUI or Web interface right? [13:42] max1982, maybe you removed it from the menu on accident? [13:42] computer_: AD was based of LDAP, so it's the same directory service [13:42] Sorry ikonia I don't know what AD is? [13:42] max1982, oh, you are probably talking about synaptic or the old add/remove programs, the latter of which i think is gone [13:42] i already havethe software center but there is 1 similer to it which i cannot remember the name of it [13:43] computer_: active directory [13:43] Ooo Active Directory [13:43] oh, synaptic is gone too [13:43] its got windows apps on it also [13:43] Yes I guessed it [13:43] oh, that's not either of what i'm thinking of, then [13:44] dam i should have writen the name of it before i formated the machine lol [13:44] ikonia, All machines on this network are Ubuntu [13:44] max1982, what version of ubuntu is this [13:44] computer_: yes, I know that's why I said "use LDAP" not "use AD" [13:44] 10.4 [13:45] There are no Windows installs involved [13:45] Oh okay thanks [13:45] yeah i don't know what you're talking about [13:46] When you download abode reader for ubuntu it comes as a .bin file...how do I install it so that I can use it to open up PDFs ?

[13:47] dam got it, its cold playonlinux [13:47] lol 3 day trying to find it [13:48] john_doe_jr, you'd have to read their docs, it's probably some sort of executable shell script [13:48] tensorpudding: found it [13:49] john_doe_jr, just mark it executable and try running it, and cross your fingers and trust adobe to not be idiots [13:51] hi , anybody knows how to enable root user ?

[13:53] i'd have to look at the file [13:54] tensorpudding: maybe I don't have the programs to execute a .bin file...what programs do you need normally to do that? [13:54] jambo: sudo passwd root [13:55] you don't need anything special to run a shell script [13:55] then su; and enter your password [13:55] !noroot | BertoIlarioGatti [13:55] BertoIlarioGatti: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [13:55] tensorpudding: a .bin is not a script is it ? [13:55] there is no special .bin thing in linux, executable scripts are given an extension matching the shell they're written for, and binaries have no extension at all [13:55] Where can I place alias for my terminal? So I don't need to redefine them every time I open a terminal. [13:55] ubottu: ok thank you [13:55] BertoIlarioGatti: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:55] that's a shame [13:56] but .bin is used by some companies distributing proprietary installers for some reason [13:56] janisalanis: ~/.bashrc [13:56] I'm working on an upstart config and I want the process to start when /dev/ttyS0 is ready. Anyone have any ideas? [13:56] jrib, thanks. [13:56] tensorpudding: so your saying that I could have just used sh adobe_etc.bin ? [13:56] wankdanker: try #upstart maybe [13:56] !root [13:56] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:56] jrib: thanks, not too many people over there, will try anyway. [13:56] it could be an executable binary but if it were it might well have not worked on your system due to mismatched library versions or something, it's pretty hazardous to distribute binaries [13:57] tensorpudding: but 'sh adobe_reader.bin' would have been the way I would have installed it right? [13:57] if it were an sh script [13:58] but it's not, it's a binary, i just downloaded it [13:58] how weird [13:58] tensorpudding: alright so what command would I have used for the .bin file...would I have just moved the .bin file into /usr/bin or something to get it to work? [13:58] no, it's probably some dreadful installer [13:58] john_doe_jr: ./ [13:59] ./dreadfulinstaller.bin [13:59] you'd need to make it executable, then run 'sudo ./AdbeRdr-...whatever.bin' [13:59] bastidrazor: thanks ...would that have moved the .bin files in the right place when it installed? [13:59] john_doe_jr: that would have run that file. the installer would have to do the rest. [14:00] firstly because it is a terminal app for some reason and you need to run it from the terminal, and secondly because you need administrator privileges to install to where it wants to install, in /opt [14:01] tensorpudding: how did you know that it would install in /opt ? [14:01] i ran it [14:01] it asked me where to install it, and the default was /opt [14:01] it's interactive on the terminal [14:02] tensorpudding: cool...well, you taught me something today...I didn't know how to install a .bin file...I thought you must move it to /usr/bin where all the other binary files are located [14:02] if it was a regular program and not an installer, it would be acceptable to put it there [14:03] tensorpudding: did you open it up....how did you know the difference ? [14:03] tensorpudding: installing the app to /opt is fine :) [14:03] john_doe_jr, well, to be honest, i used a little tool called file [14:03] hi [14:04] it's a little terminal utility that reads a file and tells you what it is [14:04] it's not always accurate at knowing the differences between types of text files, but it's a whiz at finding out what kind of binary a file is [14:05] can i give link of post where i described my problem in detail [14:05] running file on that .bin told me it was an x86 linux executable, plus other details [14:05] tensorpudding: cool, I didn't know about that utility either [14:05] http://testist.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1&page=1 [14:05] Does anyone know how to disable the X-Server, so that ubuntu doesn't start it by default, but starts up in a terminal, from which I'd have to start the xserver if needed?

[14:15] FxIII: and this machines hdd is a sd card? i mean like i said, it still sounds like ssh has the proper rights to access any part of the sdcard [14:15] arand: apparently that is the tool to use anyway [14:15] if you want to mess with it locally, my suggestions is to run the gksudo nautilus command [14:15] Thanks [14:16] acidrain: the fact is that when i get this io error notthing works anymore. this includes every open ssh session [14:17] FxIII: that is very odd [14:18] acidrain: my fear is that something is wearing out my sd card [14:18] acidrain: that is why i moved the /tmp in ram [14:18] Hello!

[15:11] my desktop wallpaper is still shown, and the cursor sometimes changes to a hand depending on where I am, but I can't do or see anything else that I can tell [15:12] also maybe someone has an idea of this too... i've been using my ubuntu server as my router and I want to be able to set something up that when one of my client PCs try to access facebook.com it'll then redirect them to another page that I specify... i only want it to be for one machine tho not all of them [15:12] bazhang: My nvidia driver is installed [15:12] elijah, got ccsm installed?

[15:19] bazhang: I guess I had installed it previously. New question, is there a way to access it by right clicking on desktop or through system settings, or do I have to launch it separately? [15:19] elijah, the expose feature? or the ccsm settings [15:19] TopGear, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 [15:19] I've decided to just stick with unity 2d, i just don't know what would've given me the messy buggy launcher problem, regardless of what I do, I can't resolve it, not even package downgrade.

[15:28] ikonia, can you please elaborate about the cons/pros for each of them ? [15:28] BertoIlarioGatti: can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of: sudo apt-get update close software centre etc first [15:28] dorong: lvm is more flexible if you want to change sizings, but it also has an admin overhead, that's it [15:29] ikonia, did you had any experience with using mongodb on such a volume ? [15:29] ActionParsnip: using sudo apt-get install sun-jdk [15:29] ActionParsnip: dont remember the name [15:29] dorong: I've used many applications on raw devices or lvm, never mongodb though [15:30] ActionParsnip: of the package [15:30] ranjan use open-jdk, not sun-jdk [15:30] MonkeyDust: ok thank you :) let me try. now leaving [15:30] hey, can anyone help me? i want to get an email when a user ssh's into my server and a full log on ssh activitys. can this be done? ive been googling for ages and found nothing, thanks [15:31] N3M35I5_: seems massive overkill, but you can script that sure [15:31] question, if I have IP 192.168.111.100 wont I be able to ping 192.168.112.1?

[15:31] N3M35I5_: you could make a script to check /var/log/auth.log and when it sees someone log in, send you a mail [15:31] you can usually change terminal window title with echo -ne "\033]0;New Title\007" (provided PS1 do not change it back): where is this documented? [15:31] ikonia, its just i have a few people sshing on my box and i want to keep an eye on ehat there doing. Any idea where ican find a script?

Sounds messy. There may be an app that already does it but I'm not sure [15:35] hi everyone [15:35] is there not a command i could put in .bash_profile to start logging and then email on exit? [15:36] N3M35I5_, keep in mind that a savvy user can still hide their activity from you. If you don't trust them, don't give them a shell. [15:36] HDMI audio output is not working for me. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. Can anyone help? [15:36] N3M35I5_: i guess you could put stuff in there.

[15:36] Mike9863: is it selected as the output ni sound options and is it unmuted and cranked in alsamixer [15:36] N3M35I5_, .bash_profile can be used to run commands when the shell starts, .bash_logout when it exits. [15:37] script -f -q /tmp/session-$USER-$CURDATE-$RAND.log [15:37] for EMAIL in $EMAILS; do [15:37] cat "/tmp/session-$USER-$CURDATE-$RAND.log" | mail -s "SSH session transcri$ [15:37] done [15:37] N3M35I5_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:04] AlessandroLable: now sudo chmod -R 777 /media/drive1 [17:04] jwmto: id help but i dont use macs [17:04] Thanks Pecker, at least I know I'm heard [17:04] AlessandroLable: to give full access to your files [17:05] Ok, here we go [17:05] Yeah, 500% increase in visibility :) [17:05] ok 1 sec [17:05] outta here [17:06] ok [17:06] So is my amd-driver-installer-12 blabla for linux really supposed to be opened with gedit? And its been loading for 30 minutes now :P [17:06] It's a .run file. [17:07] Vicium, no [17:07] Where does this go in Dovecot 2.0.13? https://gist.github.com/1951449 [17:07] if you think flash should burn in hell then append &html5=True to the end of the URL for the youtube video you want to watch [17:07] is the executable bit set on the file? [17:07] let me check [17:07] .... forever [17:07] this comand inst doing anything =x ? [17:08] AlessandroLable:but your HD led was on for a while? [17:08] yeah i guess [17:08] wylde, How do I check that? I'm looking at the files properties atm. It lists gedit as default applicaiton to launch its fyletype though [17:09] "Execute, Allow exceuting as a program" [17:09] Vicium, that's odd... I suppose you could just chmod +x filename anyway to be sure [17:09] AlessandroLable:cool then if you navigate to /media/drive1 you should have full access to all your files [17:09] humm understand [17:09] when i reset the pc [17:09] wil be good ? [17:09] !ot > chris__ [17:09] chris__, please see my private message [17:09] will continue working? [17:10] heyyy [17:10] hey guys [17:10] Vicium, and I'm sure you'll need to sudo ./driverfile.run [17:10] anyone know if davfs can be made any faster when accessing the contents? [17:10] AlessandroLable: yes it should be good for a restart coz any access trouble that it had is gone now [17:10] It worked when I checked the box allow to run as excetuable [17:10] dude, seriously, thank you, I'm new to ubuntu, but I thought this problem would make me lose the files, thank you, even [17:10] realy thank you =] [17:10] However, i had to remove some old drivers first appearently [17:10] Vicium, yep that's the same as chmod +x [17:11] aha ok :) [17:11] AlessandroLable: Glad to help :) [17:11] Can I force the installation instead? [17:11] chmod -xf ? [17:11] I'll try to use the computer, thanks, I'll log out now =] [17:11] Vicium, nope [17:11] thank you again ^ [17:11] =] [17:12] Vicium, safest to remove the old drivers anyway [17:12] good bye =D [17:12] Yeah but there was no information on howto, and I dont know which drivers either [17:12] AlessandroLable: cheers :) [17:12] anyone?? anyone know if davfs can be made any faster when accessing the contents? [17:12] Vicium, just make sure you can get to your driver file from CLI in case of issues [17:13] Also I get an error everytime i start something, something 'map' let me see if I can catch the full sentence... [17:13] Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", [17:14] I dont think its exclusive to pixmap though, seen more afaik [17:14] Vicium, that's a theme engine. It means you don't have it installed [17:14] if in an extracted archive, I have two .c files and a Makefile - how do I compile/install/run it? [17:14] It a fresh install of it though (ubuntu) , i havent changed any settings [17:15] i have no make file, only a makefile [17:15] Al_nz1: try "make" [17:15] Vicium, I don't know for sure, but I don't think that theme engine is installed by default with Ubuntu [17:15] There we go. 'A previous install of fglxr driver has been detected, please ninstall the older version first. Detective work time then [17:16] sipior: thats the problem there is no "make" file only a "makefile" [17:16] Al_nz1: try "make". [17:16] Ah found it, great. [17:16] I've got a MBP 5,3 running on Oneiric. There are a few relatively minor driver bugs/issues, but overall seems pretty ok. Should I be on this version, or should move to another? [17:16] Vicium, I was lucky with my video drivers, they were able to remove my old drivers automattically === victor__ is now known as vicium [17:17] sipior: ok so that added a .a and a .o file [17:17] why does facebook fonts look so different from windows to ubuntu? how may i fix that? [17:17] Al_nz1: yep. === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [17:17] sipior: ./runlibname from here in? [17:17] http://sprunge.us/jMQR<- can someone explain this to me? [17:17] luminoso, install MS core fonts from the restriced-extras I would think [17:18] Al_nz1: you build a library. now you'll generally want to link other programs against that library (it won't run directly). [17:18] jadoe, reinstall wine it should be fine :) [17:18] Can i install ubuntu on a seperate HD and have my main HD with windows encrypted with truecrypt and be able to boot into whichever without any problems? [17:18] jadoe "jMQR%3C not found" === Mud is now known as Guest48557 [17:18] Companion: already did that [17:18] MonkeyDust: http://sprunge.us/jMQR [17:18] jadoe, hmmm [17:19] I have not installed wine for years atm :s [17:19] birdman007, ofc you can [17:19] jadoe: I'm guessing you can paste a single line in here, rather than using a web paste. [17:19] birdman007, simply unplog all other drrives before installing [17:19] birdman007, then hit F8 and chose hard drive to boot from [17:19] hi folks [17:19] sipior: I should be able to run a comand line program at the end of "installing/compiling" it [17:20] jadoe type the complete path, not just the command [17:20] I'm trying to write a script to upload files to my 4shared.com account, I manage to login into my acct, but the mput command fails [17:20] jadoe: Run: file /usr/bin/wine [17:20] hi [17:20] anyone there ? [17:20] jadoe: My guess is it's a 32 bit binary on a 64 bit OS. [17:20] Al_nz1: then consult the documentation for the code you want to build. you probably just need to supply an argument to make. (possibly "make install") [17:20] no [17:20] i got this error at the boot [17:20] wylde, already done that. and copied font settings from windows. any other tip? [17:20] The disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present. [17:20] MonkeyDust: same result. geirha: /usr/bin/wine: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped [17:20] the plugin-container is taking up lots of cpu, any idea what that is? [17:20] is precise mostly bugfixes from previous releases, or is there a lot of feature enhancement going on? [17:21] SilverFox: That's a question for #ubuntu+1 , but there are many major UI improvements. [17:21] is not ready /home /boot /bin /tmp is not yet ready [17:21] jadoe: And do you have 32 bit ubuntu, or 64 bit? [17:21] what is the probleme ? [17:21] luminoso, hmm none, other than checking on your browser's preference settings [17:21] sipior: yeah I read the readme - the stink thing is it says nothing about installation [17:22] sipior: I tried "make install" too [17:22] luminoso, it could possibly be set to use a specific font === q0rban is now known as q-rban [17:22] geirha: 64bit. i did not install the :386 package, however [17:22] dijonyummy, that's the firefox process managing the plugins. So maybe a ff plugin is malfunctioning? [17:23] jadoe: Regardless, you need a 32-bit loader to run 32 bit binaries. [17:23] hello everyone ! [17:23] sipior: I should be able to run the executeable "irecovery [args]" and i have a irecovery.c plus some libireocry files with .a .c .o [17:23] what do I do? [17:24] So, question. Anyone know why my ethernet interfaces would be arbitrarily changing designation at every boot? I'm running Oneiric. I thought this wasn't a problem anymore since like 1998. [17:24] melvincv, thanks for the info i'll try to disable stuff [17:24] dijonyummy, you're welcome :) [17:24] jadoe: ia32-libs should install it iirc [17:24] dsmith__: changing from something like eth0 to eth1? [17:24] Al_nz1: you can look for make targets in the makefile, but (politely) bugging the author for more documentation is a better long-term solution. [17:25] geirha: "ia32-libs is already the newest version." [17:25] SilverFox: Yes. I have two networks, one of which is static with isc-dhcpd, the other of which is normal DHCP. Obviously, it's important I not get them backwards! [17:26] sipior: there is a line "TARGETS = $(LIBIRECOVERY_STATIC_TARGET) $(IRECOVERY_TARGET) [17:26] if i remove the repository , does it will remove the application related to it ? [17:26] hey guys, i'm trying to run oneiric in a VirtualBox... it locked up after trying to set up Compiz :| [17:27] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/852101 <- is it this bug? [17:27] Launchpad bug 852101 in eglibc (Ubuntu Precise) "32-bit applications do not start on 64" [High,Triaged] [17:27] I remember the old days when changing kernels or moving cards around would rearrange your ethX values, but that stopped long ago with udev and the like! And I've NEVER encountered a case where they would jump around without any kernel/hardware changes! They are jumping back and forth on reboots! [17:27] jadoe: how about libc6-i386? [17:27] geirha: just reinstalled that, worked [17:27] thanks for your help [17:28] dsmith__: I'm not sure what would cause that. I do know that ubuntu has started using this 'manager' to handle the network rather than the old /etc/network/interfaces. Is it possible that the two methods are in conflict? [17:29] Unsure. I've only been editing /etc/network/interfaces. Didn't know about any other configuration place. [17:30] dsmith__: look at the network settings in the gui. [17:30] I believe it is called "network manager" [17:30] Is there any advertisement channel? [17:30] It's an embedded system, running Oneiric server. [17:30] srini: That's offtopic on Freenode, so no [17:30] No GUI. [17:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager [17:31] theadmin, ubuntu-offtopic huh? [17:31] if i remove the repository , does it will remove the application related to it ? [17:31] Dapper! This is old. :-) [17:31] Hi, I am trying to remove the Mac OS on my machine and put ubuntu there instead. All my web searches have resulted in finding sites on how to uninstall applications from the mac OS, not uninstall the OS itself [17:31] srini: Nah, I mean -- advertisement is offtopic on this entire IRC network. [17:31] Does anyone know of a good tutorial I could follow? [17:32] nycMonkey: i dont think you can unistall mac from a mac [17:32] I'm somewhat a noob and have a question regarding Chromium. Is there anyway to set the new tab page as the original home page? [17:32] i recommened a dual bott: aka have ubuntu AND mac [17:32] nycMonkey: No need to uninstall the OS. Just start installing Ubuntu and that'll take care of it automatically. :-) [17:32] theadmin, how to switch over to that channel? [17:32] If perform the installation "Alternate Ubuntu 12.04 command line" and after then install "gnome-desktop-environment", then the boot after the grub menu, occured "kernel panic not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" [17:32] dsmith__: you will need to set DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf if you use static IP [17:32] Pecker: curses. Do you know what key to press when rebooting to get the computer to read the install disc? [17:32] dsmith__: yes, wiki page is old. Not sure how applicable it is to you. See the 'disabling network manager' section and see if things look similar. [17:32] baronos: ask in #ubuntu+1 for anything precise based please [17:32] macs a re a different animal, i dotn use mac myself but i beleive you need to check out bootcamp [17:33] I've heard of bootcamp but am running a fairly old version of the mac os and am not sure where to find bootcamp. It's not where it is in the newer versions [17:33] srini: To which one? I did tell you advertisement is offtopic (i.e. not welcome) on the entire network. Again, though, to join a channel use /join channame (e.g: /join ##test ) [17:33] nycMonkey to boot from cd you need to press and hold C. [17:33] i dotn use mac so couldnt tell yuo myself, but hats how macsc work for another os [17:33] Thank you Killian! [17:33] SilverFox: Ah, yes. Actually that service is not running and that file is not present (from the disabling section). So I think that means I'm good there... [17:34] welcome [17:34] anybody have an answer to my Chromium question? [17:34] Hi, I'm on the latest stable ubuntu and i'm having problems with flash on firefox. how do i make sure i have the right version and no alternative plugins installed? [17:35] Killian, holding C did not work... [17:36] i just need the right package name [17:36] what mac do you have? [17:36] gorogawa: flashplugin-installer [17:36] nycMonkey: Shut it off, press and hold the "option" key, and then turn it on while continuing to hold option. You can have the CD in already, or put the CD in after the menu loads. [17:37] Killian: can you repeat your chromium question, please? [17:37] if i remove the repository , does it will remove the application related to it ? [17:37] theadmin: does that install it for my architecture or i386? [17:37] luvswati: No. [17:37] gorogawa: Not sure really. [17:37] is there anyway to set the new tab page to open the original home page [17:37] gorogawa: I only ever used 32-bit buntus [17:37] theadmin, yo === neersighted|AFK is now known as neersighted === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [17:37] Killian: There's an extension called "New tab behaviour" [17:37] theadmin: mine is 64bit [17:38] gorogawa: If you get it off apt and it doesn't say :386, it'll be 64-bit. [17:38] is it normal that gnome-calculator takes me 7secs to start?? [17:38] (AMD64 to be precise) [17:38] even firefox starts faster than that... :/ [17:38] theadmin: thanks I'll give that a try [17:38] nunod: Yeah that thing is slow :/ Try bc or some other calculator [17:38] I use a c-based calculator [17:38] from terminal [17:39] this is ridiculous.... [17:39] does the application will work ? [17:39] Hello. I have installed PHP on Ubuntu through the official repos. I have installed the mcrypt package and phpinfo on both HTTP and CLI shows mcrypt installed and enabled. However, when my CLI scripts run, they complain: Fatal error: Call to undefined function mcrypt_module_open() . I don't have any HTTP code that depends on mcrypt to test at the moment [17:40] So, nobody have any more ideas on my problem with eth0 and eth1 switching themselves around on reboots? [17:40] dsmith__: coulnt u delete the eth1 [17:40] dsmith__: i assume you already have a udev rule in place? [17:41] hi all, I'm writing some software for automatic bug detection and I would need to know how many bugs are marked as duplicates on ubuntu launchpad. Can somebody help me, please, with this? [17:41] hi Can't create RFCOMM TTY: Address already in use [17:41] ^why would i get that? [17:41] sipior: No! [17:41] dsmith__: please do that. [17:41] That sounds like the solution! :-) [17:41] dsmith__: it is :-) [17:41] How do I do that? You know off the top of your head? [17:41] how do I prevent unity panel from autohiding? === victor__ is now known as vicium [17:42] chris9812: system settings -> appearance [17:42] go to ccsm and diable autohide [17:42] dsmith__: look for examples in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, for example. [17:42] is there possible to change the login window of ubuntu to gnome 3 ? [17:42] brand new Ubuntu desktop 11.10 installation: Even with HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth in .bashrc by default, why is the history saving and spewing out all these duplicates? How can it be fixed? [17:42] Okay, so succesfully installed the newest drivers. I still cannot setup my dual displays (They just mirror eachother atm.) Upon just trying the GUI display-mode properties and setting them up as they should be, I get prompted that I can only setup a maximum of 1920, 1920 which should be false [17:43] hello anon [17:43] luvswati: sure, its called lightdm, you can find guides how to theme that [17:43] I dont see anything in systemsettings --> appearance that fixes that [17:43] chris9812 u have to install ccsm [17:43] luvswati using ubuntu-tweak, you can change the background [17:43] dsmith__: the udev manpage is also pretty comprehensive. [17:43] vicium, did the new drivers also install a different configuration application? [17:43] Please anybody can enlighten me? How can I set up a Jabber account on unity in 11.10 ? [17:43] Is there a tool to get a list of available documentation in html in /usr/share? [17:44] sipior: Perfect. I'll start there. Thanks! [17:44] Pidgin starts but refers to some account window that I can not find anywhere. [17:44] hi baconbacon123 [17:44] chris9812: you dont have a "behaviour" tab on the top? [17:44] wylde, Yes [17:44] monsterripper: herroe [17:44] but i am not talking about bg only but also the whole window 1 [17:44] dsmith__: no trouble, good luck. [17:44] Well no, [17:44] hi baconbacon123 [17:44] the ubuntu one still looks the same, havent gotten around to start the ATI one [17:45] dsmith_: when I hold the option key and the menu pops up, it has an icon with my hard drive name on it, and two buttons, one that looks like a refresh button and the other that is an arrow pointing right. When i click the arrow pointing right, it boots up Mac OS. Does this mean that it's not reading the ubuntu install disc? [17:45] Anon: sup [17:45] vicium, and it still won't enabled both monitors? [17:45] OK so I get wobbly windows now, so I'm assuming compositing 'is' working [17:45] all the cool effects mess up unity [17:46] theadmin: Thanks works great! [17:46] thanks, I it looks like unity just needed restarted [17:46] nycMonkey: Give it about a minute at that menu screen and see if another icon pops up. Sometimes it can take a minute to read the disc. If it still doesn't come up, it's likely that the disc is damaged, or not the right architecture. [17:46] vicium, ahh the new configuration application will have what you need then. I'm not familiar with the ATI drivers so I unfortunately won't be muchhelp there. [17:46] Please anybody can enlighten me? How can I set up a Jabber account on unity in 11.10 ? [17:46] baconbacon123: do you have an actual support question? Chat channel is #ubuntu-offtopic [17:46] I could really do away without unity. [17:46] luvswati no, just the background an de logo can be changed [17:46] and the* [17:46] dsmith_: okay thanks, I'll try that. [17:47] nycMonkey: have you tried the disk in any other computers? You could have a bad disk if it didn't get burned correctly. [17:47] It's worked before, the computer I'm on now has ubuntu from that disc [17:47] is there other good stuuf other than unity gnome xcfe and kde [17:48] No pidgin users in here? [17:48] I just installed ubuntu on here in september, so it's been awhile since I've had to remember how to do this [17:48] I'm installing it on almost the exact same machine [17:48] Yeah it's definitely not reading the disc :( [17:48] it could be the drive... [17:48] *burp* [17:48] nycMonkey: Another unfortunate possibility is the CD-ROM in that Mac is unreliable. A way to potentially test this is to boot into the Mac normally, and see if it sees the Ubuntu disc when it's booted. [17:48] is yer cd drive bad [17:49] baconbacon123 there's lxde, e17, openbox, fluxbox... [17:49] baconbacon123 there's jwm [17:49] It does see the ubuntu disc when it's booted. I can navigate its directories and such [17:49] oohhh which one is the lightest [17:49] Anyone with knowledge about aticonfig? I put sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=right [17:49] No changes are done immideatly, do I have to reload the config file or something? [17:49] baconbacon123 jwm is the lightest, but very basic [17:49] I shouldnt have to reboot everytime, or? [17:49] nycMonkey: That means it's PROBABLY not the drive. But it still very well could be the disc. [17:49] vicium: Just restart X: sudo /etc/init.d/*dm restart [17:49] Monkeydust: any way to install in ubuntu [17:49] baconbacon123: openbox is pretty light but still usable :) [17:50] baconbacon123 apt-get install jwm :) [17:50] dsmith_: is there any way to run the disc from the mac environment?

[17:50] baconbacon123 i use it for remote connections over ssh, can't really say [17:50] nycMonkey: No, unfortunately. Something else you could try, though, is making a USB stick out of the data from the disk, and then putting the USB stick in while you're at that menu. That should work. But it's complicated. [17:50] anon: have you tried empathy? [17:51] sorry i mean gnome server name ! [17:51] I'll give that a shot [17:51] Killian, yes but I want to use Pidgin.

[17:55] baconbacon123, you have to use xnest to run a complete desktop session over ssh, but you can do things like gedit /home/user/filename.txt with the -X set in your ssh terminal [17:55] meh too late [17:55] It starts and I get the loading screen. After a while, however, everything freezes. [17:55] That restarted everything, but yeah I assume you hinted something in the command u wrote :P [17:55] nycMonkey: this is another site that might be worth looking in to. http://techtikus.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-10-10-with-a-live-usb-in-13-steps/ [17:56] During the loading, the hard drives is obviously working(I can hear that). Upon freezing, I don't hear the HDD anymore. [17:56] Regardless it works, it ended up being the wrong monitor being extended but I went lazy mode and swapped the DVI cables [17:56] So thanks :) === pipi is now known as pupsi [17:56] Is there any waty to do the grapjhical envoirment in the terminal windows only [17:56] baconbacon123, you have to use xnest to run a complete desktop session over ssh, but you can do things like gedit /home/user/filename.txt with the -X set in your ssh terminal [17:56] Does anyone know what could be wrong? === pupsi is now known as p1p1 [17:56] baconbacon123: just run the apps you need. === victor__ is now known as vicium [17:56] Joey-Jo0: what GPU do you use?

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:57] Joey-Jo0 wrong channel, Mint is not supported here [17:58] Joey-Jo0: then you should ask in the mint channel [17:58] !mint [17:58] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [17:58] I was responding to Chipzzz. [17:58] dont use the alarm [17:58] your mint is no good here [17:58] I do not seek Mint support, Chipzzz was merely asking if I was able to boot into a different OS. === acidrain is now known as AcidRain [17:59] how do i request my login information for this server? [17:59] chippzz: i think there is a channel for linux mint [17:59] acidrain:lol [17:59] Acidrain: u cant [17:59] Hey folks, the mere mention of another OS/distro is not cause for hitting !factoids. Please consider the context before slamming with !factoids. [17:59] And what Graphics card... I don't know. This laptop has been given to me by a friend. It runs XP without a hitch, too. [17:59] was that a stupid question? [17:59] oh [17:59] is there an expire date for it? [17:59] Joey-Jo0: since the computer ran for a little while, i was wondering if it ran any other os's... seemed a reasonable question [17:59] idk just messin [17:59] AcidRain: #freenode can help you with that [17:59] I say, once again, I do not seek Mint support. [17:59] who is admin? [18:00] Joey-Jo0: what is the make and model of the laptop then...? [18:00] dont use the ! op [18:00] Let's see. Compaq Presario R3000. [18:01] ubottu: how do i install a lamp server [18:01] christopher_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:01] Chipzzz: Joey-Jo0: booting Ubuntu with a fault makes it a ubuntu question [18:01] Joey-Jo0: looks like its an ATI thing, try the boot option: nomodeset [18:01] how do i change my nick in xchat [18:01] !lamp > christopher_ [18:01] christopher_, please see my private message [18:01] christopher_: tr [18:01] christopher_: /nick newnick [18:01] forever2432: that's what i would think too [18:01] ActionParsnip, how do I specify a boot option. The loader grants me no screen to specify anything. [18:02] !bootoption | Joey-Jo0 [18:02] Joey-Jo0: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. [18:02] christopher_: /nick baconbacon123 [18:02] christopher: /nick baconbacon123 [18:02] christopher: /nick baconbacon123 [18:02] Joey-Jo0: press while booting - gives you the grub menu [18:02] christopher_: stop [18:02] guntbert, thank you. [18:02] sorry was just followinf instuctions [18:02] Let's try that. [18:03] christopher_: the command is /nick newnick === christopher_ is now known as baconbacon123 [18:03] sorry bout that pangolin [18:03] christopher_: we use your nick to make clear that we are talking to you [18:03] guntberg: sorry imma newb [18:04] !tab | baconbacon123 [18:04] baconbacon123: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [18:04] did i just post that im really sorry [18:05] I wonder, why do you have to press shift to enter the boot menu? [18:05] wait nm thot i just posted all the usernames with f [18:05] sup moises [18:05] Joey-Jo0: if you have only one OS installed there is usually no need to display the menu - speeds up the process a little :) [18:06] what is to command to disconnect [18:06] ./disconnect? [18:06] baconbacon123: "/quit" [18:06] ./disconnect [18:06] baconbacon123: if you have a support question, please ask it. otherwise join #ubuntu-offtopic if you feel like chatting. [18:06] thanks chipzzz [18:06] baconbacon123: to leave a channel type /part to leave the network type /quit [18:07] Okay, using nomodeset still makes it freeze? [18:07] something screwed up really good for me now [18:07] Joey-Jo0: try: radeon.nomodeset=1 [18:07] was trying out various compiz-settings when the entire desktop vanished [18:07] reboot didn't help either [18:08] hey guys, when I try to boot oneiric on my i7 it gets stuck. last thing I see is something about scsi device... [18:08] anyway, I reinstalled ubuntu, keeping the /home partition..and now things are..weirdly different [18:08] If you wanted to move from a casual user of ubuntu to a true power user what would you recommend. I mean I know some of the areas fairly well, (networking) etc but I feel like my overall knowledge has lots of holes [18:09] how would you suggest doing it [18:09] Zaitzev: different in what way? [18:09] well [18:09] hi guys, how can i install the 12.04 without X? [18:09] b0ot: run the development release on a separate drive or partition. [18:10] can't put my finger on it all, but it's not the same [18:10] !12.04 | LDB [18:10] LDB: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 - Blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [18:10] unity must be borked or something, idk [18:10] none of my harddrives are visible anymore either [18:10] ActionParsnip, no luck with radeon.nomodeset=1 either. :( [18:11] Zaitzev: by keeping /home, you saved most of the settings, but you have to install the packages that correspond to the settings if you want the software... [18:11] i know that [18:11] Zaitzev: what format were your drives ntfs or extx [18:11] ntfs [18:12] and they were all visible in /media [18:12] Zaitzev:have you tried remounting them through console? [18:12] and now for some reason I got the fugly grub boot menu showing up on startup.. === q0rban is now known as q-rban [18:12] forever2432: no, how? [18:13] ok 1 sec [18:13] seeing as they aren't visible in fstab or anywhere [18:14] Zaitzev: run: sudo fdisk -l and check if the drive are there [18:15] looks like it, I see a couple of HPFS/NTFS/exFAT [18:15] Zaitzev: cool then run: sudo mkdir /media/drive2 [18:15] mhm [18:16] ok? [18:16] /budus macro xdcc d 150 [18:17] Zaitzev: then run: sudo mount -t ntfs -o 755 /dev/sdb /media/drive2 [18:17] not SDb? === malandro95_ is now known as malandro95 [18:17] SDb1 [18:18] silly auto corrections [18:18] Zaitzev:dr_willis: correct thanks mistype [18:18] uhm [18:18] Zaitzev: how many ntfs drive are there? === Mud is now known as Guest77333 [18:18] lolwtf [18:19] half the keyboard doesn't even work now [18:19] the arrowkeys don't work [18:19] home, pgup etc [18:19] what the hell is this >< [18:19] NTfs-config can automate some of this [18:19] btw, /dev/sdb1 = linux [18:20] Zaitzev: it would have said drive allready mounted [18:21] meh [18:21] any tips on no GUI backup tool to backup a folder once a week? [18:21] Finally, got it to work. === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [18:21] i think i'll just backup some of the crap on /home and erase the entire drive [18:22] DarkCore: rsnapshot [18:22] gnah got a little problem with a script. did anyone experience the problem that a script stops after executing pkill within it? [18:22] Zaitzev: how about tryin unity --reset from a terminal [18:22] rsync [18:22] Zaitzev:you could do that to or we can try mount it, but still how many drives are you running? [18:23] forever2432: not counting the OS drive, 4 [18:23] is there an "human readable"-option for fdisk? [18:24] philinux: didn't actually do anything [18:24] jeez ok lot of console work, have you got disk utilty? [18:24] daswort, try "sudo parted -l" [18:24] i installed gparted [18:24] Zaitzev: it should have reset unity to its default [18:24] sudo apt-add-repository ppa:awstools-dev/awstools << specifically what does this command do? [18:24] Hello. I have messup passwords for both root and my account. I tried erasing the password section of /etc/shadow/ from a live cd and passwd from recovery and it didn't work. Ubuntu 11.10. Anything else i need to add? [18:24] Zaitzev: gparted better you can mount from gparted [18:25] daswort, what are you having problems with in fdisk? [18:25] forever2432: not that the drives are visible there.. [18:25] heh [18:25] delinquentme: it adds the awstools-dev/awstools PPA to your system [18:25] rumpe1, thanks, thats much easier. [18:25] I had Ubuntu for a full TWO days before all this trouble started [18:25] I'm gonna go back to Windows. [18:25] :p [18:25] Zaitzev:if you can see them on fdisk -l then you should see them on gparted [18:26] zykotic10, PPA is prepackage archive? [18:26] compdoc, its easier to find an programm like `parted`, than explain a newbee what these lon number mean! [18:26] !PPA | delinquentme Yes [18:26] delinquentme Yes: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[18:27] philinux: the only noticeable difference that reset did, was the "dash home" button no longer working. [18:27] compdoc, no. I need it for support. I dont want that somebody sends me Screenshots :) [18:27] llutz, is rsnapshot just for entire filesystems, or can I use it for just one folder as well? [18:27] DarkCore: works with folders [18:28] but thanks for the hint Zaitzev compdoc [18:28] cool [18:28] thanks [18:28] zykotic10, sudo apt-get update << and this generic update updates... ? [18:28] Zaitzev: if you are backing up the hidden files/folders in your home directory, be aware you could be moving the issue with you. Try creating a new user to test. [18:28] what would be the advantages of preferring xfs over ext4? [18:28] delinquentme: to update - "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" is the generic update commands [18:29] wtfdoggie22: http://www.ilsistemista.net/index.php/linux-a-unix/6-linux-filesystems-benchmarked-ext3-vs-ext4-vs-xfs-vs-btrfs.html [18:29] dont think XFS is native - ext4 is, and it works well for moi [18:29] zykotic10: the only thing I would back up is a few movies and photos [18:29] hmm.. so i messed up my /etc/sudoers and i dont know the root password.. how can i fix this? [18:29] I haven't had time to accumulate a whole lot in two days [18:29] but I can't backup since none of the other drives are visible anymore, so.. [18:29] what do i have to do, to fix "cannot execute binary file" on oneiric. I am running AdobeAIRInstaller.bin which is a 32-bit executable, and this is a 64-bit system. [18:29] so in this particular AWS tutorial its not saying to run the upgrade portion. so what would just the update command do? [18:30] it is a stripped, statically-linked 32-bit ELF executable [18:30] Can anyone help me recover/change my password? [18:30] BryanRuiz1: where you using visudo to edit sudoers? (it should let you break it?) [18:30] i already have ia32-libs installed, not that it should matter since this is a static exe [18:31] BryanRuiz1: s/should/shouldn't/ [18:31] ActionParsnip: ok benchmarks, but there are other, more important things for a fs [18:31] zykotic10: you know.. i should of used it, but i didnt [18:31] now i know why i should use it :-/ [18:32] i was hoping to be able to do something at startup with grub magic [18:32] but there is no grub! [18:32] BryanRuiz1: hold SHIFT after bios to get grub [18:32] at least I know one thing now [18:32] I'm not gonna touch compiz anymore. [18:32] zykotic10: ah! great! [18:32] i don't use it, even [18:33] libc6-i386 is also installed [18:33] wtfdoggie22: the tests are pretty extensive, testing all sorts of stuff with mixed results. === napperjabber_ is now known as napperjabber [18:33] MFen: why are you wasting your time with AdobeAir - it's gnu/linux support has been dropped... [18:34] zykotic10: because i need a program that needs it. [18:34] MFen: get a better program ;) [18:34] zykotic10: thanks for your help [18:35] MFen: sorry - not helpful i know. But hopefully informative. Good luck. [18:35] Bash, Shell, Terminal, console ... these are all terms for the same thing -- right? is any more correct than another? [18:35] MFen what program is that? [18:35] MonkeyDust: balsamiq === DESIGNOZAUR is now known as Infernall [18:35] MFen: are you sure .bin is exec, coz exe and msi are win exec [18:35] delinquentme: not exactly... but difficult to explain difference across irc [18:35] hey guys [18:36] trying to update to 12.04 [18:36] forever2432: its a binary, just needs marking as executable [18:36] hello, whats wrong here chown -RW user:user shoppen.com ? [18:36] and get's following message [18:36] oh, hmm, it's actually dynamically linked [18:36] synthetix: Precise is not supported here, please visit #ubuntu+1 [18:36] ActionParsnip: is this from the linux side? [18:36] but ldd says: "not a dynamic executable" [18:36] arlos: what should -W do? [18:36] is there a 32-bit version of ldd I should be running? [18:36] lol wtf! [18:36] arlos: -RW does NOT mean read write [18:37] get this: all the mounts are visible now [18:37] all the drives are there [18:37] so i what is full code? [18:37] MFen i find a lot of linux balsamiq mockups [18:37] Can onyone help out with password problem? [18:37] and I haven't done anything at all! [18:37] i will read folder to user? [18:37] this is lame, I can't install or remove anythying because of linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.39-2.6.35-31-generic [18:37] but if I try to remove it same error [18:37] there has to be ghosts in my pc. [18:37] sudo apt-get install -f [18:37] same error [18:37] forever2432: some companies use it (adobe, nvidia, hplip) [18:37] Zaitzev:it heard that you wanted to go back to win haha! [18:37] how can I remove linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.39-2.6.35-31-generic [18:37] without using apt-get [18:37] hey, i'm having issues running java applets in firefox. why is that? [18:38] chown -rw user:user foldername ? [18:38] arlos: what you want to do? [18:38] writable a folder [18:38] arlos: there is no -w (see man chown) [18:38] crow_ use open-jdk, not sun-jdk [18:38] forever2432: Well, if I managed to completely bork Ubuntu in under two days [18:38] arlos: chmod is for permissions [18:38] and I have no idea WHAT happened [18:38] ActionParsnip: but correct me can windows open a bin as a executable? [18:38] just that something happened [18:38] arlos: who should get write-access? the user? [18:38] MonkeyDust: yes? it's a nice program. [18:38] monkeydust i am, as well as icedtea. i've also reinstalled all packages relating to java and firefox, and reinstalled ubuntu itself [18:38] yes user [18:38] arlos: chmod and chown are different ;) [18:38] arlos, chmod 0755 foldername [18:38] forever2432: in windows a .bin would be seen as a 'data file' [18:39] no i will change user [18:39] chown [18:39] wylde: arlos dont use 755 if others should not read the file [18:39] so yeah, it's tempting to reconnect my win7-drive and leave it be. [18:39] permissions [18:39] forever2432: if you have a file installed that added a file type for '.bin' then it would show that [18:39] with file [18:39] arlos: chown u+w filename [18:39] arlos: chmod u+w filename [18:39] forever2432: linux is smart and doesn't rely on file extensions, it looks at the data [18:39] iceroot, true [18:39] ActionParsnip: Thought so, so then linux can open it as a executible binary [18:40] iceroot: chmod and chown are different :p ;) [18:40] so full code is chown -rw user:user foldername ? [18:40] can someone take a lookat this and point me in the right direction ? [18:40] ActionParsnip:I've been using ubuntu for about a month now and learning mountains of info [18:40] http://www.pastie.org/3498378 [18:40] zykotic10: and i corrected myself :) [18:41] forever2432: we're all learning :) [18:41] ActionParsnip: been using Ubuntu for 2+ years, still learning every day [18:41] Could not calculate the upgrade [18:41] An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: [18:41] E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [18:41] This can be caused by: [18:41] * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu [18:41] synthetix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:41] * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu [18:41] nobody has any help with my java problem? :/ [18:41] arlos: chmod u+w filename [18:41] ahhhh [18:41] ActionParsnip: :-) [18:41] arlos: chmod o+w filename that will add write-permission to the owner [18:42] synthetix: are you trying to upgrade to 12.04? [18:42] i know this password stuff sounds like complete rubish, but i cant log it with my root or my user account. can someone give some help? [18:42] guys [18:42] forever2432: you can test with an image, ask file to tell you what it is, then change the extension then ask file to tell you what the nwe filename is. Windows would see it as a damaged file as the data and extension don't mesh but linux will just look at teh data and open it as it should be opened [18:42] can someone help me with upgrade [18:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/863897/ [18:42] synthetix: are you trying to upgrade to 12.04? [18:42] pangolin, yes [18:42] i will write permissions to the user? [18:42] iceroot: o=other [18:42] synthetix: join me in #ubuntu+1 [18:42] ok [18:42] llutz: and what is "owner"?

(windows xp boot mgr) [18:52] forever2432, it just gives me a fatal error. [18:52] R3dy: lines 16 - > 18 in your origional post are doing just that - writing to /boot and saying "No space left..." [18:52] R3dy, that means, what exactly? [18:52] dahaxxer, you using wubi? or a full normal linux install? [18:52] zykotic10: well look at that [18:52] dahaxxer: youll need to install ntldr into the mbr [18:52] anyone know fo a simple way to email a users .bash_history after they logout and then delete it. so next time they logout i'll get a fresh log. please guys [18:52] they are LOL [18:52] not ubi [18:52] kk thanks! [18:52] normal ubuntu installation [18:52] with grub3 i guess [18:52] ixiaqla:are you using mcrypt in your php programming? [18:52] Grub can boot windows, or linux, or other os's - Im not sure how you would set up the windows bootloader to boot linux. [18:52] dahaxxer: it means I advise against messing with windows' boot manager [18:52] R3dy: uninstall old unused kernels and you will free space in /boot [18:52] #windows could advise better i imagine [18:52] general rule of thumb if you are dual booting nix and doze [18:53] how is rescue mode different from a live cd? [18:53] install doze first, then install nix, let nix handle the boot process [18:53] Infernall: the changes stick [18:53] Infernall, its logging into your installed system, to a rescue shell/menu normally [18:53] but I suck at grub3, i want win bootmgr what shall i do? [18:53] ActionParsnip: thanks I'm embarssed i didn't see that [18:53] iceroot: not quite working... Doesn't 2> redirect the error output? [18:53] I couldn't think for a sec it would be writing to /boot but sure enough... [18:53] dahaxxer, i suggest learning grub better. [18:53] is the dvd installer like the alternate installer? or more like the normal installer? I need LVM support.. [18:53] ^^ [18:53] i have an error during make nginx [18:53] http://pastie.org/private/kjbozgjpxrpmgrk1mftclq [18:53] I definitely want the output of: dpkg --get-selections 2> /dev/null [18:53] dahaxxer: you'll need your XP CD to reinstate the bootloader with [18:53] but I want it to go to a file, not stdout. [18:53] Dr_willis so ubuntu is evil and takes over my system and I can't get it back? [18:54] dr_willis: but i can make changes from a live cd to my install now cant i? === peter__ is now known as phyburn [18:54] hydrozen: dvd is just cd with more languages [18:54] dahaxxer, no.. windows takes it over and makes it hard to boot other os;s [18:54] Infernall, you can chroot, or mount the installed system if you wanted to [18:54] Infernall: yes, you can edit the files, or even chroot so that the commands you run are as if you were booted to the system [18:54] zykotic10: ok so I still need to get the alternate installer if I want to setup LVM during the install [18:54] Dr_willis win loader is simple, you just edit the settings in boot.ini [18:54] Dr_willis for grub you got to compile [18:55] sha1sum: dpkg --get-selections >file [18:55] hydrozen: i believe so, but i don't use LVM (i think alt or mini actually). good luck. [18:55] uname -a says I"m running 2.6.39-3 [18:55] dahaxxer: ive never compiled grub under ubuntu [18:55] dahaxxer, then to reserach what you put in the boot.ini for a linux boot then i guess... and you are confused about grub. [18:55] that being said, woudl it be safe to delete anything in /boot that references a differnt kernel [18:55] say 2.6.35 for example? [18:55] llutz: I get a warning about a lot of output and it won't go away unless I either pipe to less or more, or redirect stderr to /dev/null [18:55] Can I triple boot: Winxp, Ubuntu and Backtrax? [18:55] sha1sum: what warning? [18:55] R3dy: no, you uninstall the packages which install the old kernels and it will remove clean [18:56] dahaxxer, with grub you could boot several dozen+ os's if you wantd to take the timne to set it up [18:56] llutz: I'm trying to pipe into grep... [18:56] sha1sum: dpkg --get-selections >file 2>/dev/null [18:56] Dr_willis, can't it recognize them automaticaly? [18:56] sha1sum: what ist your exact command? [18:56] I suppose I could probably just grep the file after it's written. [18:56] hey, does anybody know of a fix for addonChat? they want proprietary sun java but i'm using the openjdk... is there an alternate client or something? [18:56] anyone know where "getlibs" comes from? there's a link to a deb on the webs, but the link is 404 now [18:56] forever2432, wut. mcrypt is used in one of my scripts, yes. [18:56] too much of a hassle otherwise [18:56] dahaxxer, depends on yoru setup. It might do it. [18:56] dahaxxer: windows boot loader wont detect them automatically either [18:56] a forum post suggested that i needed getlibs to resolve my troubles [18:56] so I shoudl uninstall the linux-headers-version-im-not-using? [18:57] sha1sum: dpkg --get-selections 2>/dev/null |grep whatever > file [18:57] llutz: dpkg –-get-selections | grep -v deinstall > /tmp/ubuntu-files [18:57] So i shouldn't Install ubuntu? [18:57] dahaxxer, do what you want. If you dont want ubuntu.. then dont install it.. [18:57] llutz: that produces empty file [18:57] oh sweet [18:57] rsnapshot works great [18:58] llutz, iceroot: nevermind... I'm just going to grep the file after writing it. [18:58] grub should detect bith ubuntu and xp, so if youre worried about not seeing the other os dont be [18:58] ixiaqla: coz i was thinking you should just disable it in your apache2 conf and write a php function mycrypt [18:58] altho it copies the entire folder tree from root and up [18:58] I want ubuntu cause it's tiny, but i don't want to make my computer harder to understand [18:58] thanx pecker [18:58] ur da man [18:58] sha1sum: you have a typo in your command [18:58] dahaxxer, i think you are making it harder to understand, not grub. [18:58] also, thanks llutz [18:58] what now? is grub hard to understand? [18:59] llutz: it's not a typo in my command, it's a typo in someone else's command that I didn't notice and still don't see lol [18:59] grub isn't too hard, but it does offer lots of cool functionality that no one ever uses. [18:59] sha1sum: you would have seen, if you would have read the error/warning [19:00] sha1sum: dpkg --get-selections 2 dashes [19:00] llutz: got it from here: http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/09/19/ubuntu-tricks-how-to-generate-a-list-of-installed-packages-and-use-it-to-reinstall-packages/ [19:00] wasn't paying much attention other than the double-dash [19:01] is it not two dashes? [19:01] sha1sum: it is 2 dashes,but your command has a weired character+1 dash [19:01] [19:57:13] llutz: dpkg –-get-selections <- those aren't both dashes [19:02] sone of a $*(&# it's actually showing just a *hair* thicker on my terminal... Almost inperceptable. [19:02] I'm using FF on a bank site that did a check to see if FF is 128bit encryption compatible. The check reports that it is not. Is that true?

[19:11] http://xdcc_2 [19:11] Infernall: sorry i haven't been following your actual issue, was just reacting to your "how do i set a root password". I can't help - good luck. === blamar is now known as markwash_ === markwash_ is now known as blamar [19:12] Infernall: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [19:12] sipior: can i go private with you? [19:12] Infernall: we can talk here. [19:13] Where is the root crontab file located on ubuntu? [19:13] I can edit it with sudo crontab -e but I'd like to know where it actually is [19:13] rockets: /etc/crontab [19:14] that never worked for me - I edit /etc/crontab with an ediotr [19:14] can I do sudo something && sudo somehting? Or will it ask me for a password for the second sudo? [19:14] editor [19:14] theadmin, no, that's not it. [19:14] cordyceps, if it times out it will [19:14] rockets: read crontab's man page, it tells you [19:14] do you need to add something to samba to enable windows sharing [19:14] or is that on by default [19:14] how long do I get [19:14] ? [19:14] sup [19:14] cordyceps, idk 15 min by default i think [19:15] before I reformat again [19:15] jrib, thanks [19:15] cordyceps, you can change the time in sudoers [19:15] any helpful advice on partitioning? [19:15] rockets: note you shouldn't edit those files directly though [19:15] jrib, I know, I just wanted to know where it was. [19:15] Zaitzev: What are you trying to do? [19:15] Gentoo64: thkx ;) [19:15] Zaitzev: are you dual booting [19:15] Mech0z, its not default on any systems Ive installed [19:15] ActionParsnip: No [19:15] negative: I understand having /home, /boot etc on their own partitions [19:15] sipior: after installing ubuntu i didnt set root password, i wanted to set root now so i can get some privilages for my user... it seemed there was nothing i could do to change the root, as it allways returned invalid token, so i tried it for my user. i went to the UA settings to change the pw, there it got stuck. After 10min of loading screen i just rebooted the system to find out i cant log into my root or my user [19:15] is a smart thing to do [19:16] Zeroedout: 10Gb Ext4 for /, 1.1 x RAM for swap and the rest ext4 for /home [19:16] failtab? :P [19:16] Infernall: are both /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow in place? [19:16] Zeroedout: unless you have less than 2Gb RAM, then 2.1 x RAM for swap [19:16] I have 6GB ram [19:16] Zaitzev: yep. se above :) [19:16] Does 'buntu have something like a 'root' terminal, no sudo reqd? [19:16] Zaitzev: do you need hibernate / suspend? [19:16] no [19:16] cordyceps: run: sudo -i [19:17] Is there a utility that will allow me to view the ttl time of a dns entry in my cache? [19:17] Zaitzev: then you can easily get away with no swap :) [19:17] sipior: no i didnt check /etc/passwd wasnt in the instructions i was using up till now, i'll check [19:17] so [19:17] 10gb for / [19:17] rest for /home [19:17] that's all I need? [19:18] Zaitzev: swap is also a good idea [19:18] I could probably go a little up on / seeing as I got a 320GB drive to use [19:18] what about /var, /usr and the others? [19:18] cordyceps, haven't tried, but shouldn't gksu gnome-terminal work? [19:18] Zaitzev: the best is to use the ubuntu defaults the installer is suggesting [19:18] Infernall: for future reference, the account you created at install should be able to acquire superuser privileges by running commands via "sudo" [19:18] anyone using Kompozer?

[19:22] codepal: yes [19:22] sipior: does the passwd file work the same? do i delete the 2nd entry? [19:22] forever2432, told it to auto mount, permanent, I rebooted and still... [19:22] codepal, apt-get install -y [19:22] calico: you need to install linux additions and then shutdown VM and edit your VM folder options to add Drives as virtual network drives [19:22] Infernall: you shouldn't delete anything in /etc/passwd. [19:22] sipior: in that case, yes the file is there [19:22] Infernall: verify that your user account is present, and the file is undamaged. [19:22] DarkCore, didn't work [19:22] Infernall: you should never ever edit /etc/passwd [19:23] Infernall: the second entry should be "x" [19:23] Infernall: NEVER [19:23] Infernall: use "usermod" [19:23] iceroot: system recovery. leave us alone. [19:23] calico: on your VM menu there is load VM additions [19:23] sipior: no need for your strange attitude [19:23] codepal, my bad.. apt-get -y install [19:23] iceroot: you're geting in the way. [19:23] sipior: noted, and 2nd entry indeed is x [19:23] forever2432, I did loaded them but.. btw i've installed linux additions before setting shared folders [19:23] codepal, what does 'ldd _file_' say? [19:24] Infernall: is /etc/shadow also intact? [19:24] sipior: usefull infos over "bad suggestions" are never in the way [19:24] iceroot: bye now.

[19:26] jumping in here late..what is calico trying to do [19:26] forever2432, i did this: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils [19:26] before setting up shared folders on vbox [19:26] sipior: i mean the password hashes root::.... [19:26] Pecker, i can't see my shared folders on virtual box xubuntu [19:26] trying to apt-get install libjpeg but no luck did they remove that lib from ubuntu? [19:26] calico:look on VM Device>Install Guest additions on the program [19:27] ah [19:27] libjpeg-dev install fine though [19:27] you need the guest additions, click devices->install guest additions iirc [19:27] course id rather use samba shres for sharing files with vm [19:27] forever2432, yes, it mounts just a cd [19:28] codepal, libglib2.0. Guessing that's a shared library? If it is, it's possibly looking for the required library in the wrong path. In that case you'll have to create a symlink to the real file in the location libglib2.0 is looking. [19:28] calico: additions have to be installed on the first desktop and your VM desktop for it to work [19:28] i dont remember you having to put guest additions on the host to get this working? [19:28] i didn't understand that, is it a separate program, different from virtualbox ? [19:29] calico: cool now install and restart [19:29] Infernall: you're currently running a live cd, i suppose? [19:29] northernen, I'm trying to use apt-get to install gimp 2.7.5 from matt's repo [19:29] sipior: yes [19:29] forever2432: no, the guest additions need only be installed in the guest -- vbox support in #vbox too [19:29] should i restart virtual box forever2432 ? [19:29] unfortunately his instructions to add ricotz & gnome3 repos are not working [19:29] calico devices->install guest additions, it mounts a cd image, run script from that cd in vm [19:29] how do I make a user owner of a folder?

I don't even know the list. Is there no way to revert the changes it made? [19:31] * Pecker starts virtualbox so he doesnt have to remember how it worked [19:31] overall, I'm finding I have to log out/log in/log out/log in over and over until sound works. Sometimes I have to reboot. [19:31] codepal, it reports you missing libglib? [19:31] Infernall: you've mounted your system's root partition somewhere, obviously. [19:31] was there a script you used or something Mike9863 ? [19:32] Right now, nothing's working. How do I solve this? [19:32] Tynach: need mroe info as to what 'what' is [19:32] sipior: /media/long string [19:32] Pecker: Just that first command [19:32] Infernall: okay, use chroot: chroot /media/blahblah /bin/sh [19:33] Mike9863, that's actually a whole script, just written as one line. You'll have to rewrite it in reverse. [19:33] Pecker, what do you mean? The issue is that I don't know what is causing sound not to work. I'm asking you guys what it could be.

"lsb_release -sc" [19:36] Zal: I'm guessing the ubuntu-desktop package is the one that comes with all the packages. If I were to remove ubuntu-desktop would it revert to what I had previously or would it remove essential things as well? === hhersoy17 is now known as ersoy [19:36] calico: just tested it now again and my shares folders from my host is in /media [19:36] sipior: so far seems good [19:36] Mike9863: it won't === BertoIlarioGatti is now known as KingPhisher [19:36] hi guis.

[19:37] Codename: precise [19:37] Adobe flash player will crash whenever i try to access my cam or mic, wat do? [19:37] !grub3 [19:37] tuxguy: did you read the part where it says Pangolin Support is in #ubuntu+1 ? [19:37] !grub [19:37] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [19:37] tuxguy: reask your question in #ubuntu+1 [19:38] thanks guys, my bad, am new to irc, took me a while to figure out #ubuntu+1 is another channel... [19:38] i initially thought it's an email list [19:38] ratcheer, if it helps, the sound seems to 'work' at the login screen - i.e. I can move the volume slider back and forth. When I log into Unity (2D|3D), the sound symbol is the speaker and two dashes - as if it were muted - and the volume slider is unusable. [19:38] Adobe flash player will crash whenever i try to access my cam or mic, wat do? [19:38] tuxguy: FYI beginners should not be running the development version, you're going to run into issues! [19:38] sipior: longest hash i' v ever seen :) [19:38] everything else works fine,e xcept the trackpad...want to be on the bleedinge edge [19:39] :) [19:39] Ubuntu should create some sort of 'rolling release' version of Ubuntu. === KingPhisher is now known as AndreLametti [19:39] Adobe flash player will crash whenever i try to access my cam or mic, wat do? adobe website also does to recognize my mic or cam. so i cant adjust there. though cam and mic have worked plenty of times. [19:40] Tynach: Yes, I think it is muted. Will the "--" icon not drop down to a menu? And on that menu, there should be an unmute button... [19:41] ratcheer, as I said, it appears as if it's muted. But the 'unmute' button is not visible, and I cannot 'slide' the volume slider. Attempting to slide the volume slider actually crashes the menu. [19:41] Pecker, now i that i see my shared folders, i dont have permission to access them?? [19:42] ubuntu, [19:42] ----------> win bootmgr or grub2? <---------- [19:42] Tynach: Rolling release sounds wonderful, doesn't it? In reality, it is just different headaches. I know, I run Arch, too. [19:42] ratcheer, trying to open Sound Settings, it has "Choose a device to configure", and has no devices listed. [19:42] sipior: it worked, might i bother with a quick question what is a login keyring? [19:42] calico: this is why i hate shared folders..never seems to work right. [19:42] whats is the exact error you get [19:42] codepal, did you check for libglib2.0 having unmet dependencies? [19:42] permission denied [19:42] Adobe flash player will crash whenever i try to access my cam or mic, wat do? [19:43] Infernall: a data store for various credentials. [19:43] ok [19:43] calico, shared folders are going to need proper group ownership and permissions, and users will need to be in the right group. [19:43] Tynach: So, it sounds fairly messed up. I'm not sure what to tell you. [19:43] Infernall: you can change the password of the keyring to match your own login password, and it won't ask you for a password after logging in. [19:43] Infernall: have a look at the gnome-keyring utility. [19:44] Zal, so how do I do that... [19:44] ratcheer, I know. That's why I'm asking on here :p I'm normally pretty good at Linux. [19:44] Does anyone know where the pulseaudio settings are stored? [19:44] northernen, http://pastebin.com/PeEjPiAk [19:44] is there a chan for 12.04? [19:44] I can't see any unmet dependencies.... [19:45] if Im trying to install java over terminal ... what would I use ? like i ran this: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk and it was unable to find any candidates [19:45] i've found a tut .. but it says I need to add someone PPA... for java that feels weird [19:45] Tynach: Have you looked at the in-depth sound issues troubleshooting thread on ubuntuforums.org? [19:45] delinquentme: its not in the repos anymore [19:45] delinquentme: you have to download it from the oracle website [19:46] O_o;;; [19:46] calico, create a group, put your users in that group, change the group ownership of the folder to that group, and read "man chmod" for fine-tuning access controls. [19:46] best way to do that for an EC2 instance? [19:46] delinquentme: oracle is evil and is not allowing anymore to provide java [19:46] 2.30.2-4ubuntu1~oneiric1 == 2.30.2!!! [19:46] * Zal goes to lunch [19:46] so why! [19:46] ratcheer, I've looked for such threads, have not found any. The ones I've found have a big long command line, and reading it, I do NOT want to install random stuff from a new repository. So no thanks. [19:46] is there a way to restore a ubuntu-server (11.10) install to a "pristine" state? i had to upgrade my new vps from 10.10 to 11.10 but some things seem misconfigured [19:46] delinquentme: the best is to use openjdk instead of sun/oracle java [19:46] Tynach: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1885240 [19:46] vithos: only with your backup [19:46] Dmole, join #Ubuntu+1 for Pangolin 12.04 [19:46] sudo apt-get openjdk [19:47] !java [19:47] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [19:47] OerHeks: thanks :) [19:47] delinquentme: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [19:47] Tynach: Also, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 [19:47] I tried to ppa-purge webup8team/gnome3 and it gives some scary output about removing *many* packages - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/864010/ . Any opinions on this? [19:48] !ppa-purge [19:48] 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 [19:48] yousure you gave the command right to remove that repo? [19:48] errr ppa. :) [19:48] ratcheer, Firefox is trying to access sound in the background whenever I click on a link apparently (even though no sound is played), and it freezes/crashes upon me trying to read those pages. Lawl. [19:48] How does one disable 3d effects on Ubuntu 12.04? [19:49] GeorgeJ: #ubuntu+1 [19:49] Zal, how do I change the ownership of the folder [19:49] GeorgeJ, go to #ubuntu+1 for that release [19:49] Allright, thank you [19:49] Tynach: Wow. I've never heard of anything like that. [19:49] what is the normal way to run a script on user login? [19:49] Dr_willis: sudo ppa-purge ppa:webupd8team/gnome3 seems correct? [19:50] Dmole, depends on what its doing. [19:50] guntbert, all i know about the command is shown in that factoid url. :) ive never needed to use it. [19:50] Dr_willis: howso? [19:50] ratcheer, it eventually continues, having given up. But that basically means I have to wait for 30 seconds after hitting the 'back' button. [19:50] Dmole, what is the script doing... [19:50] Dr_willis: the script is running xbmc if you must know :) [19:50] Dr_willis: any opinion on the *long* list? [19:51] Dmole, last i checked - xbmc added a session entry in the LightDm/Login menus. You could put a link from the xbmc.desktop file to your autostart directory [19:51] * calico slapz XuMuK [19:51] or is it autorun.. [19:51] !autorun [19:51] guys, I cannot install lubuntu from wubi [19:51] ~/.config/autorun (or autostart) [19:51] it is not in the list [19:52] ive tried disabling ServerSignature in httpd.conf, but I can't seem to get it to work [19:52] Dr_willis: where is the "autostart directory"? [19:52] why isn't the best of ubuntu in a list of a win32 installer? [19:52] ive restarted apache, and httpd.conf is included in apache2.conf, so where else should i specify this? [19:52] in a site? [19:52] dahaxxer, are you sure you want a wubi, it is not for long erm use. [19:52] dahaxxer, wubi can be problemnatic. You could download a lubuntu.iso perhaps and point the wubi installer to it. [19:53] why would they still give it away then? [19:53] dahaxxer, i confirm, noob user here, installed ubuntu from wubi, nothing but problems [19:53] I want to keep my bootmgr and wubi is the way to go [19:53] its for 'testing' out the release. [19:53] dahaxxer, i dont see the point in worrying about the boot manager. and id reccomend using virtualbox over wubi. [19:53] dahaxxer, you can even with a dual boot with esaybcd. [19:53] easybcd? [19:53] easybcd* [19:53] easybcd only works with win7 [19:54] You could install grub to a flash drive if you really wanted to and not touch the windows disk. [19:54] You could even install to a flash drive for a totally portable setup. [19:54] dahaxxer, did you mention the windows install your using? [19:54] can someone please explain how do I change permissions of folders? I'm at https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/nautilus-file-properties-permissions.html#folders and still can't do it [19:54] last question in here, how do i take off 5gb of an existent partition to make swap space? [19:54] calico, chown or chmod options foldername normally === marco is now known as Guest17702 [19:55] urfr332gO: XP [19:55] sipior: thx for your time, everything is setup [19:55] dahaxxer, use a gparted live cd, or some other tools to resize your existing partions. [19:55] dahaxxer, have you tried gParted? [19:55] dahaxxer, a swap wont work with the wubi I believe wubi is just a file in windows [19:55] Infernall: great, glad you're up and running again. [19:55] I have a fresh install on a Dell Optiplex GX280. A lot of the text in dialog windows, xchat's input box, etc. is messed up. On th eother hand, the chat window text is fine. [19:55] thanks [19:55] Dr_willis: ah I found "startup applications" int the menu I'll try that. [19:55] never noticed if wubi uses a swap partion if it exists.. :) never really heard anyone mention that befor. [19:55] gparted is my way to go [19:56] sipior: btw, why is the root pw a taboo here? [19:56] Dmole, that just manages the links in that autorun dir basically [19:56] Infernall, there isn't one. [19:56] Infernall, its goes against the ubuntu security 'methodogy' :) [19:56] have a nice night, will be back to help when i'm done with my precise lubuntu [19:56] day.. [19:56] Infernall: it can trip up inexperienced users. also, the default openssh daemon on ubuntu permits root logins. (a bad policy) [19:56] dahaxxer, for 12.x go to #ubuntu+1 [19:56] dahaxxer, see #ubuntu+1 for precise [19:56] Dr_willis, I'm ubuntu geek, I can outscore u+1 [19:56] when I want to install a software package (JRuby ) I want to run ./path/to .. what file? [19:57] dahaxxer, from what ive seen.. i dont think so,, [19:57] Infernall: sudo also permits a much finer allocation of superuser privileges, along with extensive logging. [19:57] Routing question. I have two ISPs. Both configured but only one default route as we speak. I have a certain IP/host on the internet I want to connect to only through the ISP connection that does not have a route in place. Assuming that makes sense, does any know if that is possible? Running Ubuntu. [19:57] Dr_willis, i knew of gparted, just i knew there was a way in the setup, that's what i meant [19:57] Dr_willis, so (me = calico) chmod calico+rw /media, right? [19:57] sipior: btw, well thx anyway :) [19:57] and I tottaly hate grub [19:57] dahaxxer, i dont think wubi's setup does partioning at all. [19:57] Infernall: you can get a root shell via "sudo -i", if you need it. [19:58] Infernall: sure thing, have fun. [19:58] dahaxxer, yeah right and I'm the king of Siam. [19:58] okay thanks [19:58] !permissions | calico [19:58] calico: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [19:58] urfr332gO, kings are fags.

[19:58] term [19:58] huh? u cnt ban me [19:59] Dr_willis: nice that worked so where is this "autorun dir"? and it there a "logoff applications" thingy? [19:59] dahaxxer, no but I can report you if yo continue. [19:59] Dmole, i gave its path earlier... [19:59] you [19:59] ~/.config/autorun (or autostart) <- I think [19:59] Any clue how to address font issues? d is displaying as an uppercse E [20:00] !pm | dahaxxer [20:00] dahaxxer: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [20:01] Dr_willis: thanks [20:01] hand guys [20:01] Dr_willis, ok i did sudo chmod 777 /media but still cant access it [20:02] calico: what message r u receiving? [20:02] dahaxxer, you have been reported along with your pm. [20:02] calico, a bit weird to need to do 777 to /media/ can you 'cd' to the directory and do a 'touch testifile' as a user? [20:02] Ok, think I may have fixed it. brb, rebooting. [20:02] Silver`, permission denied [20:02] dahaxxer: Please don't PM people without asking first. [20:02] urfr332gO, please note that PM != #ubuntu [20:03] Dr_willis: I looked at "tree ~/.config/autorun" and I'm not seeing it... [20:03] dahaxxer: Please don't PM people without asking first. Some people consider it rude. [20:03] so, don't expect me to get banned for having a nice chit chat via PM. [20:03] calico i ment after you wrote the chmod command [20:03] Dmole, it may be autostart. i dont rember. and im not on a linux box. [20:03] not sure if pangolin bot or human but kay [20:04] You can get banned for being rude in PM. [20:04] Silver`, nothing that's all: [20:04] calico@calico-VirtualBox:~$ sudo chmod 777 /media [20:04] [sudo] password for calico: [20:04] calico@calico-VirtualBox:~$ [20:04] Dr_willis, I was sweet as cake KP [20:04] calico, so you now do a cd /media/ and touch testfile and get an error? [20:05] Dr_willis: "tree -a ~/|grep -i start" found "startupCache.8.little" but that looks wrong.... [20:05] calico, i dont really see wny you need to be doing this to /media/ unless you somehow messed it up. [20:05] can i install ubuntu from SDHC? [20:05] Dmole, theres some bot factoid on it. [20:05] dahaxxer, if your system can boot a sdhc you can. done it befor. [20:05] ive also installed to sdhc :) [20:05] ty [20:06] what was the command for killing the client again? [20:06] what client? [20:06] qwebirc [20:06] perhaps /quit [20:06] ty hand [20:06] Dr_willis, i just want to access my virtual box shared files that's all. I'm a new ubuntu user and all this frustrates me :( [20:07] hey! i am having a problem with one of my ubuntu 11.10 server machines [20:07] Dr_willis: well I'll look into it another time thanks anyway [20:07] calico, I never needed to mess with /media/ to access the special vbox share.. you could also just access the machine/vm via the network/samba/ssh/sftp methods [20:07] i go to log on, i enter the username and password... it shows me the motd and then kicks right back to the logon prompt... [20:07] calico: you can ask for virtual box support in #vbox too [20:07] vbox also has a decent manual/ [20:08] Phinnay: this is at the console? [20:08] I went on vacation and when I came back my launcher icons were invisible and spread out. I can still click on things if I wait for t he tooltips to show up, but not all of them are even within the screen boundaries because they've been spread out so much. What gives? [20:09] Phinnay, have you changed your login shell? in /etc/passwd? [20:11] Is there a command to put my laptop in suspension mode from the console? === Jaddie|Work is now known as Jaddie [20:13] yeah, this is at the console [20:13] and ive done nothing to /etc/passwd [20:13] just... happened one day o.o [20:13] Phinnay: do you have any other access to the system? is there a file called /etc/nologin present? [20:14] i booted up with the CD and went to the "recover a broken system" option and mounted / [20:14] let me check [20:15] no on the /etc/nologon [20:15] Phinnay: your entry in /etc/passwd looks correct? [20:16] Phinnay: any unusual entries in your .login, .profile, &cet.? [20:16] Phinnay, what are the last entries in /va/log/auth.log?

Maybe Gnome does too, I dunno [20:28] but on this case i can't do that .. usually i go to http://rubular.com/ [20:28] but its not a spam application or something [20:29] can u get my point planttt? [20:29] brand: have you seen http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1207&Itemid=273#install ? [20:29] fishcooker, i do now, and gave you two pointers [20:29] Can anyone recommend a good firewall? [20:30] Ubi_DaX: is the drive otherwise writeable? [20:30] AlanBell, of course [20:30] perl and php, planttt? [20:30] It writes boots info, but not the ubuntu [20:30] fishcooker, yes [20:31] fishcooker, o btw, JavaScript has it built in as well. If you have a browser, you have a "regex tool" [20:31] Ubi_DaX: so you have what an SD card in a USB reader or something? [20:31] Silver`, what is a good firewall? easy to setup for a single user or complex but flexible? [20:31] It's a USB 2.0 HDD [20:31] Ubi_DaX: did you try extracting to the desktop and then copying then to the usb? [20:31] It's actually an USB flash drive [20:32] Silver` will that work? [20:32] just simple copying? :\ [20:32] no [20:32] !info firewall [20:32] Package firewall does not exist in oneiric [20:32] you can dd recent images to a USB drive and they should work [20:32] did for me but if u wait i can tell u exactly how [20:32] :\ [20:32] !firewall | urfr332gO [20:32] urfr332gO: 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. [20:32] hmmm planttt, i choose php over perl.. but still i can't get your point abt the solution on php [20:32] ratcheer, I finally solved the problem, by deleting all Gnome settings. I deleted .local, .gnome2, .config, and several others in my home directory. I then rebooted. Not the prettiest solution, but it worked. [20:33] AlanBell, wasn't for me but thanks. [20:33] fishcooker, you can install the php-cli package and have a php shell [20:33] Tynach: Excellent. Great work! [20:33] Ubi_DaX: there r some steps if you want to boot from the USB [20:33] Silver`, ^^^ see the bot [20:33] Pricey: thank you very much..the problem im facing is this The chosen installation directory /homee/H12/hfs10.0.249 does not exist. Create this directory for installation of software? (Choosing 'n' will allow you to go back to the previous menu) Create Directory (y or n) [y] ==> [20:33] Tynach: What led you to try that? [20:34] Silver` I know how to boot from usb, but can i simply extract to usb with no crappy unetbootin [20:34] zal, what kind of widget.. let me know abt it [20:34] ? [20:34] that's what you stated. [20:35] brand: that's a prompt, not a problem [20:35] ratcheer, because I know nothing changed in my system config, and nothing changed in my hardware configuration. So, figured it had to be user settings. [20:35] OMJ, planttt php-cli.. then i can test it on command prompt rather than gui one [20:36] If Btrfsck tools are ready by 12.04, I'm going to do a fresh install and switch to Btrfs. [20:36] Pricey: mkdir: cannot create directory `/homee': Permission denied mkdir: cannot create directory `/homee': Permission denied mkdir: cannot create directory `/homee': Permission denied Pricey;Permission denied [20:36] are there any better alternatives to disper? [20:36] can't there be something wrong with lubuntu 12.04 image? [20:36] anyone up for google summer of code [20:36] brand: try /home/, not /homee/ [20:36] fishcooker, right [20:36] fishcooker, or install Firebug and use the Javascript console to do it there [20:36] Ubi_DaX: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-June/033495.html [20:37] Tynach: I thought btrf fsck tool was still just a theory, heh heh. [20:37] ratcheer, there's a version available in the "dangerdonteveruse" branch. [20:37] fishcooker, if you are using rubular I'm assuming you are using ruby, why not use irb if you are going to go console route [20:37] i'm bleeding planttt :D [20:38] Perhaps this is not the right place to ask this, but if I may ask; I have just partitioned my hard on my Dell Vostro and installed Ubuntu 10.04. The problem now is that though I can select windows option at the grub menu, the windows startup continues upto a point where I just get a black blank screen. What could be the problem? [20:38] Tynach: Yes, I know. I got all excited reading about it on Phoronix, until I saw the donteveruse tag. [20:38] fishcooker, is that a good thing (/me is not native english speaking) [20:38] is there any desktop regex tool :p [20:38] They're being VERY careful about Btrfsck. [20:38] fishcooker: for regex: kiki [20:39] But it's supposed to be ready by the next release of Oracle Linux. [20:39] urfr332gO: sorry i read your note, but i ment another firewall, already configured [20:39] !info kodos [20:39] kodos (source: kodos): A visual regular expression editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.9-6.3ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 429 kB, installed size 1484 kB [20:39] fishcooker: ^^ [20:40] Silver`, there is firestarter, what do you need one for? [20:40] can i pm you? [20:41] Silver`, I probably know the least about linux firewalls, so it would be a waste, the channel is better really. [20:42] ok [20:42] I'll get to suicide watch [20:42] what happened?

[20:43] Ubi_DaX, you're downloading from torrent.ubuntu.com. [20:43] : Precise/12.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [20:43] ... Obviously i am Tynach.. [20:44] oh [20:44] right [20:44] Maybe that's only a torrent tracker site, and not an actual download site? [20:44] I'm such a noob [20:44] multiple personalities day?

[20:45] never heard of him [20:45] lol, userlogos.org is wiped [20:45] now synaptic won't do anything cause libgimp still thinks libglib is < 2.30 [20:45] but it's libglib 2.31 [20:46] Pecker, he has a movie with your nic as the name. [20:46] how to remedy? [20:46] anybody know how to get an objects rotation to change the location of another? [20:46] can I edit the status file somewhere to manually override this? [20:46] crap, i need to flash the bios of my acer aspire to fix an overheating problem but the only way to do that is via Windows and I have no windows :( [20:46] ZeloZelos: in what?

[20:47] What is !blender [20:47] all [20:47] !blender [20:47] blender is a free application for 3D modelling, animation, rendering, etc. You can install it from Ubuntu's repositories, and tutorials are at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro [20:47] Neat [20:47] and if Matthias GIMP suggests I can install it, I don't see why it won't work [20:47] that sounds like u want to break it, codepal [20:48] I can always chroot and unbreak it [20:48] p1l0t, its a 3d animation program [20:48] just help me tell dpkg it's not broken [20:48] codepal: What are you trying to do exactly? [20:48] cause it's not [20:48] Sounds like awesomeness I'm going to try it [20:48] I've installed gimp 2.7.5 [20:48] it's working [20:48] ah urfr332gO you a fan of Jak and Daxter, thats when the name comes from for me [20:48] ? [20:48] hi all im trying to partition and format a 3tb drive in ubuntu server [20:48] but now dpkg thinks libglib is a older version than is actually installed [20:49] I suspect a packaging problem in ricotz ppa [20:49] I'm trying to convert the ubuntu iso to an img for installing from a USB on mac. The hdiutil command I've found it not working for me. Can anyone offer any assistance? The command I'm typing is: hdiutil convert -iso -o UDRW filename.img filename.iso [20:49] however creating the first partition and formatting it the size is only 447gb [20:49] all I want to do is cheat, and tell dpkg that it's got no dependency problmes [20:50] s/problmes/problems/ [20:50] Pecker, never been a gamer, but to each his own. === knightrage is now known as kevin [20:50] nycMonkey: that isn't going to work since modern Macs require USB storage to use GPT [20:50] nycMonkey: to be bootable, that is [20:50] Oh you need a GUI for that aye [20:50] Anyone else having problems downloading the new beta release as torrents? [20:51] yep [20:51] can I get a 2 line breakdown of x64 vrs x32 ? like are x64s inherently faster?

[20:52] yaro: then use the kernel from ubuntu again, everything else is not supported here [20:52] yaro: try the kernel incluided in official repository [20:52] yaro: chroot into your setup and install an official kernel [20:53] I know that supported one works. [20:53] #ubuntu-it === marco is now known as Guest22100 [20:53] can anyone help using fdisk and creating the max partition [20:53] But if I don't report, they won't fix it in 12.04 won't they?

[20:54] yaro: if the error is happening with 12.04 report a bug [20:54] yaro: ok - so why are you testing non-11.10 kernels ? [20:54] yaro: what are you trying to do/achieve ? [20:54] hi all. i am looking for some software suggestions... i need to create some very basic 2d animation with a static background and a rotating, moving image in the foreground that can be saved as an avi/mpg/etc. i know flash can do this using motion tweens, but i'm looking for a linux-compatible solution. any ideas? [20:54] yaro: and 12.04 goes to #ubuntu+1 [20:54] ok sorry for troubling you ;) [20:55] yaro: its no trouble, just not sure what you are trying to do ?

Synaptic tells me I still have natty/restricted nvidia-current, nvidia-glx-180, and nvidia-g [21:03] lx-185 installed. Could these last packages be what is holding back the upgrade?

[21:14] codeperl: please listen to iceroot [21:14] from command prompt i use apt-get [21:14] yep, and i've got root priviledges [21:14] Hypothesis: getting a netbook with 1 or 2 gb ram and Lubuntu installed to carry with me in the city to do development on would be a great idea. Thoughts? [21:15] and gui synaptic [21:15] !who | codeperl [21:15] codeperl: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:15] if im trying to get the global IP of a remote machine .. will ifconfig give me what I want? [21:15] salut [21:15] !ubottu, ok [21:15] ls [21:15] salut [21:15] delinquentme, ifconfig in a remote shell would. [21:15] jhutchins_wk_, thanks [21:15] codeperl: what is the exact "apt-get install" line you are using to get that error? [21:15] delinquentme, it may. [21:16] compizlove: ok, reconnect via ssh as your regular user but with the "-X" operand so you are forwarding the X protocol [21:16] depends on how it's set up [21:16] Oh, lovely, gnome-xchat dcoesn't use consistent nick colors. [21:16] Hypothesis: getting a netbook with 1 or 2 gb ram and Lubuntu installed to carry with me in the city to do development on would be a great idea. Thoughts? [21:16] hi i don't arrive to install gnome shell in ubuntu [21:16] help me please [21:16] !iceroot, http://pastebin.com/dm74rexk [21:16] jhutchins_wk_: i like standard gnome better, too [21:16] ubuntu if not lubuntu then xubuntu. [21:17] raido: it bitches about a missing .xauthority file, and i'm on a mac here, so not sure if X is supposed to be forwarded automagically [21:17] morgan_, once installed choose it at login. [21:17] or better, received [21:17] i do have X installed here though [21:17] !nounity | morgan_a [21:17] morgan_a: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:17] compizlove: whats the username on the ubuntu machine [21:17] ubuntu: Only shortfall on my netbook is those stupid text graphics people love to post to facebook are often too small to read. [21:18] codeperl: my guess is that some of that packages you are trying to install is not in the mainrepos but one of the package in the main-repos as a suggestion of one of them so apt-get knows the package (else you would get cant find package foobar) [21:18] you mean root? or the hanging compiz's ? those are 'user' and 'buddy' [21:18] codeperl: solution: go to packages.ubuntu.com look in what repos all the packages are and enable that repos [21:18] ubuntu: Other than that it's what I use 99% of the time. [21:18] hi === Mud is now known as Guest15518 [21:19] raido: those two users have no corresponding user on the machine where i'm ssh'ing from [21:19] !iceroot, you want to see the error result of that command? [21:19] codeperl: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:19] compizlove: ok from the mac do "ssh -X -l buddy addressofubuntumachine [21:19] " [21:19] k [21:19] any recommended models? [21:19] codeperl: i already have them [21:19] jhutchins_wk_: what model do you use? [21:19] codeperl: also no need to start your line with ! that will wake up our bot ubuntu [21:19] how can we go to /opt/ [21:19] codeperl: also no need to start your line with ! that will wake up our bot ubottu [21:19] brand: cd /opt/ [21:20] Hello!

[21:20] no [21:20] k [21:21] whats next? [21:21] codepal, didn't you state earlier that you installed a non standard version of glib? [21:21] or what are you suggesting to do? [21:21] iceroot: so, what i can do now can you please say? i am very new. === q-rban is now known as q0rban [21:21] compizlove: so, now do "gnome-appearance-properties" [21:21] jhutchins_wk_: what model of netbook do you use? [21:21] Hi, how can i know the name of the driver module of my graphic card? [21:21] itaylor57, yes [21:21] raido: i don't have such command [21:21] what package provides that? [21:22] gnome? [21:22] compizlove: hmmmm, yeah gnome [21:22] ricotz version -- ppa is listed on the link @ matthias gimp ppa page [21:22] @velko - sorry, I thought you meant offtopic as in irrelevant ;) . Joined other channel [21:22] Joshun, no worries [21:22] nahh jhutchins_wk_ which computer am I running this from ? im looking at this tutorial and also im not sure how the routing is going to get to my computer with only the external network IP [21:23] it would be super simple if i could push from my localmachine up to the node .. but i tried that and I dont think it worked: scp /home/thrive/jruby_oscar.zip domU@10.208.190.51 [21:23] compizlove: Im on an older version, perhaps its different in 11.10 but you want to run whatever the gui settings manager is for compiz on that versioon [21:23] its gonna be fun to install something like gnome with 4 processes @ 50% cpu usage [21:23] hurm [21:23] i aee. [21:24] compizlove: dont install it if you dont use it [21:24] let me look that up [21:24] compizlove: what WM are you using? [21:24] @virguna: lspci | grep VGA [21:24] iceroot: what is the problem actually? how can i solve? [21:24] whatever came default with 11.10 [21:24] not sure what it is. doesn't look like kde nor gnome [21:25] jhutchins_wk_: what model of netbook do you use? [21:25] Hello! Question - has anybody installed Ubuntu on a Macbook? I'm getting some terrible response from the touchpad... curious if there's a way to get it to work more smoothly. [21:25] compizlove: uts like Unity/Gnome3 [21:25] compizlove: hang on [21:27] roasted see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [21:27] Hi [21:28] CFHowlett: I saw that, but I was nervous about it since 11.10 wasn't listed. [21:28] compizlove: try "ccsm" ? [21:28] CFHowlett: found this however: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1730361 [21:28] not there either. but i'll install it, ought to be that [21:29] raido: ok. what am i looking for? [21:30] compizlove: try this "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [21:30] raido: yep. got that already [21:30] what setting am i looking for? [21:30] compizlove: run it [21:30] it works === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [21:31] got it in front of me, raido [21:31] compizlove: ok, now I suggest you basically turn off everything compiz related for now, till you get a working X again [21:31] does anyone else use an Ubuntu netbook (Or lubuntu??) What specs do you have on it? Are you happy? [21:31] hi guys [21:32] hi how to enable 3d acceleration? [21:32] compizlove: once youre done, go the the ubuntu machine and restart x [21:32] I've got a dual boot Win7 (Home Starter) / Ubuntu 11.04 (GNU/Linux 2.6.38-13-generic i686), and I'm hoping to shrink my Windows partition. [21:32] raido: to be honest all i see is "compiz library toolbox" [21:33] hi is it possible to install (l)ubuntu on a hdd using a GPT? afaik grub2 is able to handle GPT .. [21:33] I don't care if I mess up Windows, really, but I don't want to mess up the linux. Any advice? [21:33] it says opengl warning: failed to connect to host.make sure 3d acceleration is enabled for this vim [21:33] raido: i'll just disable everything. no features, less bug potential, no? :) [21:33] compizlove: you dont see this: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/10/15-things-i-did-after-installing-new.html [21:33] compizlove: yes indeed [21:33] Can GParted do it? [21:33] UnknownCoder: Yes it is. In fact if you install to a larger than 2 TiB disk, or to a disk which already has GPT, it will be used by the Ubuntu installer automatically. [21:34] compizlove: then when you want start adding one feature at a time to test stability === rafa_ is now known as Guest95395 [21:34] i hadn't seen that link no [21:34] long time since i haven't been on ubuntu [21:34] compizlove: thats what your tool should look like [21:35] Jordan_U, yeah but there is my problem. i have a hdd (705GB) using the GPT but the installer doesn't find my existing win7 installation and offers me an empty disk ... [21:35] raido: yeah it looks that way [21:35] compizlove: ok [21:35] UnknownCoder: If the installer sees no existing partitions then you have an *invalid* partition table. "sudo parted -l" will tell you specifically what is wrong. [21:36] UnknownCoder: Are you using a UEFI install of Windows or a standard BIOS install? [21:36] standard bios [21:36] it's a not that new pc [21:37] hi i am running linux 10.0.4 ubunti in virtual box [21:37] UnknownCoder: Windows can't boot from GPT on BIOS systems without a "hybrid" mbr, which is ugly and likely part of your problem. Why do you want to use GPT? [21:37] it says to 3d acceleration is not enabled by this vm [21:37] please help me out [21:37] How do I execute crontabs as root? [21:37] [21:37] brand, install it on real hardware :) [21:37] brand: What virtual machine software are you using? [21:38] Jordan_U, i don't want to use it but it is present and i have to keep my existing win install [21:38] Boreeas: sudo crontab -e [21:38] because it's part of my working pc [21:38] Boreeas, add the cronjob as root (sudo crontab -e) [21:38] oracle vm [21:38] ikonia: Ah, thanks [21:38] seveas? what? how [21:38] or stick it in /etc/crontab [21:38] is there a way to save my data and converrt gtp to normal mbr? [21:38] this is the first time in trying linux [21:38] brand, pop an install cd in your computer, install ubuntu :) [21:38] I am getting message "Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL" when trying to launch Team Fortress 2. I am running wine on Ubuntu. How do I fix this? HOw do I fix OpenGL? [21:38] UnknownCoder: How did you get a GPT label in the first place? [21:38] Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? My account is administrator [21:39] Husel: use sudo [21:39] seveas i have already installed ubuntu === dave is now known as Guest23849 [21:39] ikonia: do I just add that at the front? [21:39] but when i start a 3d application i get the 3d acceleration error [21:39] what can i do with a drunken sailor? [21:39] brand, yes, in a vm. VM's don't generally do 3d acceleration well, or at all [21:39] Schles, early in the morning? [21:39] UnknownCoder: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" it should clarify what the current situation is, and from there a solution is probably easy. [21:39] Husel: what command are you trying to run ? [21:39] jordan, i don't know, just installed win7 normaly without any special commands. never heared of GPT till today when i am faced the problem and found the postes tht showed me that GPT could be a problem [21:39] apt-get install kdelibs-bin [21:39] seveas: so do i need to install ubuntu [21:39] exactly [21:39] Husel: yes, but sudo in front of it [21:40] thanks :) [21:40] Jordan_U, one moment please i'll reboot [21:40] brand, yeah, on the actual computer. Not a vm. You can use dual-boot if you're not yet ready to leave windows behind :) [21:40] no i dont want to use on a actual computer,can you tell me how to fix the problem in vm === aaGp is now known as Guest33294 [21:41] brand, no. You simply cannot do 3d applications in a virtual machine. [21:41] Seveas: Yes you can actually. [21:41] Jordan_U, with virtualbox? [21:41] brand: You need to install the Virtualbox guest additions. [21:41] Seveas: oh,but i have installed the 3d application in vm [21:41] Seveas: Yes. [21:41] Jordan could you tell me how to do that [21:41] Seveas: It's not the greatest, but it does exist. [21:41] Jordan_U, have you tried it? The few things that work a re slow as molasses [21:41] raido: fsck it. as soon as i unpicked a checkbox it segfaulted and now it refuses to restart ccsm and comes back with a python traceback [21:42] Hello. I uninstalled command-not-found but I'm still getting "hints" (eg "No command 'xevt' found, did you mean: ") - what package is responsible for this? [21:42] i'll just wait another 16 hours till the usb transfer is finished (WHAT THE CRAP got into LaCIE's mind to build a 1TB drive with only USB2 connectivity???) and then i'll reboot the box and install enlightenment on it. [21:43] draeath, sudodpkg -P command-not-found (it leaves a configfile behind) [21:43] compizlove, heh, that's insane :) [21:43] compizlove: mmmm, thats not good. So a reboot sounds in order, but you have that transfer going... let it fining or dont its up to you. BUT why the heck is it taking 16 hours [21:43] raido, usb2. 1 TB. [21:43] compizlove: oh, I see [21:43] eh. [21:43] heh now I'm getting a python error [21:43] compizlove: is it one giant file [21:44] Seveas: seems there's still some other 'droppings' left over [21:44] no, its a hell of a media collection. this is my living room pc [21:44] kind of fun [21:44] 3 2TB drives in ZFS raidz [21:44] i like. [21:44] :) [21:44] compizlove: so just cut it off and start where you left off [21:44] Seveas: ah got it. had to purge the -data package too. [21:44] ah yes, forgot that [21:44] it's the first thing I throw out after install [21:44] Odd that it still functioned after a removal. Unless the "config file" is the whole of the functionality? [21:45] Indeed. I hate hand-holding :P [21:45] yeah, it's a script in bashrc.d [21:45] which is considered a configfile [21:45] yeah i could try that. i'd even more like to crack open the awesome "DESIGN BY.. " HDD enclosure and just connect it via SATA, but yeah, the damn thing is tighter than fort knox [21:45] and i don't wanna break it [21:45] :) [21:46] Can GParted shrink my Win 7 without messing up my installed linux (dual-boot single SATA2 HDD)? [21:46] compizlove, tsk. Use the force! [21:46] credit cards, you mean? :) [21:46] I was thinking sledgehammer [21:46] rasfar: make sure you use a modern version (eg what comes on a current release of System Rescue CD) - it should work and has for me. but older versions have totally broken windows (half said one capacity, half said another, and nobody could "fix" it) [21:47] that only works on old TV's from the 60s. IT equipment doesn't cope well with sledgehammers and bulldozers. :) [21:47] UnknownCoder: I need to leave, but look into http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ . [21:47] rasfar: ... also had grub break W7's SP1 installer. ended up using grub4dos inside windows to chainload to a grub outside the MBR. [21:47] compizlove, and that's where the creditcard comes in, afterwards :) [21:47] Hi. The same old story: installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview, grub menu is gone. Got a quick link to how I can reconstruct the grub menu ? I tried update-grub2, but it doesn't recognize my WinXP or Win8 partitions, only Win7, how come ? [21:47] !ficgrub [21:47] !fixgrub [21:47] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [21:47] thanks draeath! [21:47] I am looking for something like this for ubuntu: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ [21:48] LordDeath, something on launchpad should have that [21:48] ubottu: thanks. What if I want to rebuild grub menu from scratch instead of restoring it ? And why doesn't WinXP and Win8 get recognized ? [21:48] spitzi: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:48] ! [21:48] Jordan_U, thank you [21:49] hi, installed lxde package, selected gnome/openbox now have no launcher to log out backto unity can anyone help?? [21:49] raido: but still, a process that won't die off to kill -9 and its NOT within square brackets [] aka endless sleep? wtf? === juan1232 is now known as aaGp [21:49] Does anybody know about HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb why does this occur? [21:49] could somebody tell me how to install guest additions in vm [21:50] riktking, you could try rebooting [21:50] Seveas: i have done that and it auto boots into the last session i had [21:50] riktking: right-click the desktop for the openbox menu [21:50] I am getting message "Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL" when trying to launch Team Fortress 2. I am running wine on Ubuntu. How do I fix this? HOw do I fix OpenGL? [21:50] Jordan_U, are u still there? [21:51] theadmin: tried it, dontget anything [21:51] :( [21:51] dalek_: This is a question for #winehq [21:51] LordDeath, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/ [21:51] riktking: Hm, k. You can hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 and uninstall this session from there [21:51] theadmin, that is totally unuseful. at #winehq they tell me this is a question for ubuntu. [21:51] Jordan_U, i have the parted -l and it said what you mentioned, that there is a non vlid GPT and it asks me a question. will it kill my windows installation? or can i go on without any problems? [21:52] dalek_: Well. This channel offers no support for Windows apps, sorry. [21:52] Anyway everyone, I'm off [21:52] theadmin: will that b0rk my current login tho? [21:52] riktking: Nope [21:53] I am geting this message Could not apply the stored configuration for the monitor [21:53] theadmin... but isn't the problem with opengl on ubuntu which wouldn't be a windows app? [21:53] I have used xrandr to generate 1152x864 resolution and made a xrog.conf file,and started to get this problem. [21:53] dalek_, do you have a decent videocart and the drivers installed? [21:54] can i do a netinstall and just add xorg and jockey-gtk for my gpu drivers and use openbox? [21:54] dalek_: glxinfo | grep -i direct (you may need to find and install a package to get glxinfo). [21:54] haylo, yeah. [21:55] if that doesn't say yes in response, then your graphics drivers are not installed properly or your hardware is insufficient [21:55] or will i need other stuff? i am about to do it and would like t know a little bit what to expect? [21:55] awesome! .xinitrc in home or root? [21:55] is HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb error because my live cd is broken or because my hd is shot? [21:55] Seveas, I have nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 32M with 173 version driver [21:55] i have a running win7 install but it seems that it messed up the GPT. if i run parted -l i get a message that the GPT was not set up correctly and it starts asking me questions. can i go on without any dataloss or will there be problems? [21:55] dalek_ 32 or 64 bit? [21:55] il put in root i guess [21:55] draeath, 32 bit I think === victor__ is now known as vicium [21:56] dalek_ do 'uname -a' and see if you see x86_64 in there [21:57] if so, then perhaps you forgot to tell the nvidia installer to put the 32-bit compat libraries down. Maybe you also need the other 32-bit compat libraries (search in aptitude for ia32 for some leads) [21:57] draeath, nope - is i686 [21:57] whats the command to install virtualbox-ose [21:57] brian1992 sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [21:57] dalek_ hmm then drop by #winehq - assuming your 3d is actually working. [21:58] using ubuntu 11.10, and getting : hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout [21:58] thank you monkeydust [21:58] draeath, glxinfo | grep -i direct gives "Error: glXCreateContext failed" [21:58] ... that's bad! [21:58] How did you install nvidia drivers? [21:59] system>administgration>additional drivers [21:59] Hi again guys. So I've succesfully setup 2 of my monitors. And extended the desktop to one of them. However, one of them is just plain white background. (I can hoover to the extended desktop and open up background settings menu. But upon changing it onlyu main desktop is changed. [21:59] Also I get a X as a cursor instead of the regular cursor. [22:00] hmm. unfortunatly I only know how to do it the hard way (eg with nvidia's download). something went wrong it looks like. perhaps this might help? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [22:00] Also, now stuff is pretty much froozen, can only type in here and use WIN button for menu. [22:00] i have a running win7 install but it seems that it messed up the GPT. if i run parted -l i get a message that the GPT was not set up correctly and it starts asking me questions. can i go on without any dataloss or will there be problems? [22:01] dalek_ you might try scrubbing nouveau, it's given me grief before. (sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau) Check out hte other troubleshooting items on that page. [22:01] hello. [22:01] I am geting this message Could not apply the stored configuration for the monitor [22:01] UnknownCoder: Please pastebin the exact error message from parted. [22:01] UnknownCoder, Sure, you have good backups, right? [22:01] How to fix it? [22:02] jhutchins_wk_, i want to but i have no space to do that :/ [22:03] UnknownCoder: I'd write down the starts/ends and such of the partitions and gpt now, before you touch anything :P just in case [22:03] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/frXnTvXf [22:04] has anybody encountered HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb? [22:04] draeath, yeah think i'll do that [22:04] i have a problem with panel (i think that is name of top bar). I installed 2 different drag-and-drop-to-share application, and i have the same problem with both of them. Dragging to panel icon simply not working, except i run software with sudo. But when i run them with sudo, interface of app gets shitty (i guess it not use gtk?). What do you think the problem is? [22:04] okay, so, somehow installing wine associated jpegs with 'wine internet explorer', and i haven't been able to figure out why, or how to eradicate this... is there some way i can configure file associations easily? [22:04] UnknownCoder: Please run the command twice. The first time answer "yes" and the second time answer "no". [22:04] UnknownCoder: also if worse comes to worse, system-rescue-cd has gpart, which can guess partition starts/ends and rebuild a partition table with some success and luck [22:05] UnknownCoder: You probably just need to remove the GPT signatures, which fixparts can do, but I want to be sure that the msdos label is valid. [22:05] I've used that tool and a lot of paper and recovered from a completely scribbled MBR (it got zeroed) [22:05] is there a good opensource tool to make a complete backup of my hdd? maybe with some compressions i'll find some space? [22:05] UnknownCoder: clonezilla is decent [22:05] how much is this 64bit netinstall going to download, i started it with US mirror [22:05] need another disk or machine though, to store the clone on [22:06] I'm trying to do cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. but it's saying CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:98 (MESSAGE): ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in /home/jon/.kde/share/apps;/usr/share/kde4/apps [22:06] im kind of scared? i mean its not downloading a desktop is it? [22:06] Any idea why it isn't working? [22:06] thanks so i'll try to make a backup before do anything else maybe i find some space ;) [22:06] Jordan_U, if i do so, will it touch the disk? [22:06] haylo - dunno. pass debconf/priority=low on the kernel command line during boot to get more control. [22:06] UnknownCoder: No. [22:06] ok [22:07] oh crap ok thanks draeath [22:07] vicium: what happens if you open a terminal (either monitor) and enter: [22:07] Husel, you'll need to install some kde -dev package [22:07] xsetroot -solid black -display :0.1 [22:07] !search [22:07] Search factoids for term: !search [22:07] !find cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake [22:07] haylo: specifically it will let you select the tasks to install (some of which is the desktop) and a bunch of other goodies. [22:07] File cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake found in kdelibs5-dev [22:07] ^-- that one [22:07] haylo: like debian installer in 'expert' mode [22:07] ok cool [22:08] nice that was what i was hoping [22:08] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/2dNQZxwH [22:08] something about ubuntus kernel is awesome with my machine. thanks you guys! [22:08] haylo: note don't choose the openssh-server task. you'll get a scary error and have to go back and unselect it. (just install it after) [22:08] ok good to know lol! [22:08] UnknownCoder: This partition table seems to have even more problems. Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -lu"? [22:09] is my hd finished if i get this HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb from the live cd? [22:09] Seveas: thanks [22:09] draeath, I purged nouveau... now I get "direct rendering: Yes" from glx-info [22:09] Jordan_U, oh sry i rebooted due to start a backup [22:09] dalek_ you should be good. on a side effect things should be running a LOT better now [22:09] dalek_ you unknowingly were actually running the non-3D open source driver :P [22:09] UnknownCoder: I still think that fixparts is your best bet at fixing it, so if I leave before being able to give you complete instructions look there first. [22:09] Jordan_U, sorry for that hope you're not only holding the line because of me ...? [22:09] ok === victor__ is now known as vicium [22:10] Jordan_U, i'll start the backup and give it a shot tomorrow maybe you are on again [22:10] I can't seem to find howto configurate my dashboard? [22:10] 11.10* [22:10] UnknownCoder: oi make sure you do a full bitwise backup (eg dd) - since the partitions might be screwy [22:10] Jordan_U, draeath , Thank You! [22:11] UnknownCoder: You're welcome. [22:11] draeath, does clonezilla do that? [22:11] yes, you'll get that as an option [22:11] though the backup takes up a LOT more space [22:11] at most, the full size of the source disk [22:11] evening room....i'm a novice at linux (ubuntu 11.10) and need some help on installing a adobe reader .bin file I loaded and to get it working in Firefox [22:12] i thought so.. is there no option to compress the bitwise copy? [22:12] UnknownCoder: I mangled PXE and clonezilla into being an automated image deployment system. That thing is SUPER powerful if you can learn to work it [22:12] would you all happen to know why I can set my environment variable but then it disappears? [22:12] UnknownCoder: yea, it can gzip/bzip/lzma the thing on the fly but it will take some time [22:13] thats ok, so i'll start it today and wait till tomorrow in the evening [22:13] thank you very much [22:13] ffs, google chrome is stupid now [22:13] no flash plugin [22:13] you helped me a lot [22:13] UnknownCoder: fyi another tool is ddrescue (not dd-rescue) - that can save to a log file [22:13] both of you [22:13] so if you drop/abort, you can resume where you left off [22:13] ok sounds good [22:13] I use it to rescue dying disks [22:14] luck! [22:14] * draeath needs to stop monopolizing the channel :P [22:14] How do I fix this? CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found. Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name. [22:15] Husel you need a c++ compiler (g++) === k1ck-soee is now known as soee [22:15] does anyone know why my environment variable disappears after it is set? [22:15] cmake is just C? [22:15] cmake is just a build script thing (like GNU "make") [22:16] you still need compilers and linkers [22:16] oh okay [22:16] try aptitude install build-essential [22:16] that should get you most everything [22:16] *very new linux* lol [22:16] thanks :) [22:16] o7 [22:16] There's a "Hot Corner" in GNOME3 where if I put my pointer up there the dashboard thing flies out for me. Is there a Unity equivalent? Just like hitting the Windows key, but with a mouse since my hand's already on it to begin with [22:16] hehehe [22:17] 22:16:37 up 497 days, 2:30, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 [22:17] craigbass1976: yeah the left side of the screen. [22:17] lol was it just sitting in the closet eating power? [22:17] Circulating the dust bunnies? [22:17] I can't seem to find howto configurate my dashboard? Running the newest version [22:18] Does anybody reccomend any certain/specific desktopmanager/general theme? [22:18] hi there [22:18] bastidrazor, What do you mean? Nothing happens when I mouse over there. [22:19] i want to implement a program to ubuntu without install desktop enviroment [22:19] how can i do that ? === Mud is now known as Guest96566 [22:19] supremazy, Via SSH preferably [22:19] What's the program? [22:19] vicium: I like KDE4. select the 'desktop' activity and install Py-Cashew widget, drag onto desktop: instant "normal" desktop run by KDE4 [22:19] craigbass1976: you mean dash or the unity bar? [22:19] vicium [22:19] supremazy: What do you mean? [22:19] supremazy: you can just use the text console for that [22:19] ok [22:20] are you trying to install something that wants to drag in the full desktop? [22:20] i want to make [22:20] what is up with empathy [22:20] pcsx2 emulator [22:20] to open startup [22:20] why do I need to use empathy -h to start it up when I log in [22:20] without start the desktop environment [22:20] like xmbc live [22:20] is this possible ? === Rose is now known as Guest74369 [22:21] // [22:21] supremazy: yea, sorta. you'd poke around in /etc/X11 and make it run a base X11 and then the emulator, instead of gdm/kdm [22:21] I'm not having any luck googling this error. Anybody know what's going on? HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb [22:21] kind of nasty. Or just not start gdm/kdm, and set up your .xinitrc to start a basic X11 and run the emulator [22:21] bastidrazor, I think the Unity Bar. And I found what you were probably talking about in System Settings --> User Interface --> Behavior --> Reveal Spot. Sending the pointer into the left side doesn't consistently bring the bar out though. [22:21] you'd log in via shell, then do 'startx' to get going [22:21] Hi there, is there a way to make a symlink that linkts to the content of the folder rather than the folder itself [22:22] dreath [22:22] supremazy: 'twm' would probably work - with only one window open the window should run fullscreen [22:22] infernal ln -s folder/* ? [22:22] hey guys. i need to set up a new VPS with GUI for browser automation. Is there a lightweight gui you could recommend? === anandab is now known as FatDarrel [22:23] infernal: not really, you'd have to keep adding links when you add new files. I think maybe unionFS could be helpful? not sure. [22:23] MonkeyDust: i gave that a shot and it didn't really work out, it seems it just touches a file "*" in the destination folder [22:23] ok so which ubuntu distro i need for this === FatDarrel is now known as hypervisor [22:23] can i do this with ubuntu minimal cd ? [22:23] it says it is installing the base system in netinstall. am i still going ot get the options to not install desktop eviron ? [22:24] and i forgot one think [22:24] supremazy: use the alternate installer disk and install a CLI system. [22:24] haylo: that comes later [22:24] retreiving file 2 of 5 [22:24] ok cool thanks :) === hypervisor is now known as FatDarel [22:24] haylo: the base system is the super basic stuff and bits that allow you to install the rest [22:24] probably about 25-50mb [22:24] draeath: well in that case its just probably just easer to change the reads and writes, as i just wanted to have some files i'm working on be allready in /var/www/ [22:24] ok very nice [22:24] might as well work on them directly [22:24] bastidrazor, I could just quit hiding it... [22:25] when i put the cd or sd card to pc it should start with fulscreen pcsx2 emulator window === q0rban is now known as q-rban [22:25] infernal: I like to keep my VH's in SVN. I set up apache to refuse access to .svn directories. Then I can checkout wherever I want when I want another location :P [22:26] What's a good application to use for (ubuntu) that works pretty much like WINSPC? [22:27] with a GUI* [22:27] vicium: I think you can browse via SSH in the file browser [22:27] vicium, what does WINSPC do? Or do you mean WINSCP? [22:27] try going to ssh://user@hostname:/path [22:27] http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/27/wikileaks_is_not_one_personwe_are [22:28] What does this mean? HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb [22:28] Ah yes Zal :) [22:28] Oh draeath, cool [22:28] midnight commander might also be up your alley [22:28] Can anyone help me get HDMI audio output to work? Here is my system information: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=75ad5d867f82d5c5cfdeefddea7d6cacd14fcd6e [22:28] vicium: also look into sshfs :P [22:28] you can mount a remote system path via SSH, and see it like a regular mount! [22:28] uses FUSE [22:28] ei [22:28] Oh cool [22:28] draeath: i barely followed, but after some googling. i think i got what you meant :P [22:29] boa noite [22:29] So FUSE is what I want to mount a remote system? [22:29] Or sshfs* [22:29] well FUSE is a... framework? sshfs is a module in it. You want sshfs (it will pull in fuse automagically) [22:29] Ah okay :) [22:29] I have google chrome installed, but it doesn't show in software center, how do I remove it completely? [22:29] you may need to add your user to a group (probably "fusers" or "fuse") [22:30] hello [22:30] yo guys, I'm trying out placid platypus or whatever it's called. It's really nice and I consider to install it permanently, but I really don't like the dash launcher. Can it be disabled somehow? [22:30] Zaitzev: how did you install it? [22:30] I did google for it. [22:30] draeath, running WIBU or whatever its called, doesnt make a diference? [22:30] I've never set a root password.... [22:30] draeath: a .deb I believe [22:30] wobu? Not familiar with it [22:31] mar112: ask in #ubuntu+1 [22:31] thanks :) [22:31] mar112 what's placid platypus ? [22:31] draeath: problem is, it seems chrome is broken since flash (and a bunch of other plugins) isn't installed there.. [22:31] Zaitzev: try doing "which chrome" (or whatever) to find the binary, then "dpkg --search " to see if it tells you anything helpful? [22:31] So if I "connect" to the remote system via sshfs in terminal it should show up in the GUI? [22:32] vicium: it should show up like any other folder (it mounts the same way a disk or cdrom would) [22:32] I have a problem with thunderbird (using Ubuntu 11.04): With my current user thunderbird always starts in version 3.1.x. With other users it starts in version 10.x. How can I start the newer version from my account? [22:32] MonkeyDust, it's what other people refer to as Precise Pangolin ;) [22:32] Ah okay, cool. Off to read sshfs documentation :) [22:33] draeath: this is what it returned; google-chrome-stable: /usr/bin/google-chrome [22:33] hi, i am testing ubuntu 12.04, in unity. Many applications frequently do not appear in the alt+tab list, even if they are on the same workspace. Instead, I get the arrow pointing to the launcher (as opposed to the triangle) [22:33] does anybody knows how to restore default auth keys .. terminal? [22:33] mar112 Pleasant People, they are, hmmm [22:33] ok. do "aptitude --purge google-crhome-stable" [22:33] !precise | mhsy [22:33] mhsy: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 - Blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [22:33] Zaitzev: ^ [22:33] gah. spelling. [22:33] One question draeath :) WHat's a mountpoint? [22:34] uhm [22:34] that didn't do anything [22:34] vicium: try remove instead of purge [22:34] vicium: the folder in where the drive is moutned? [22:34] I'm kinda irked they didn't use Platypus [22:34] geirha, thanks [22:34] Oh so I cant mount the entire homefolder? [22:34] surely there's no more awesome animal than the platypus!? [22:35] Or well that'd be /home/ [22:35] im irked they didnt use adjective.starting.with.p Penguin [22:35] vicium: instead of drive letters like windows, filesystems are "mounted" (loaded) to a directory (usually an empty one) - that directory is called a mountpoint [22:35] does anyone know where the version of thunderbird is specified, as which thunderbird is executed by the user? [22:35] fuse: mountpoint is not empty [22:35] fuse: if you are sure this is safe, use the 'nonempty' mount option [22:35] vicium: random fact: you can actually do that in Windows too but it's not obvious :P [22:35] Pecker, that'd be too obvious.. ;) [22:35] geisterchor: update-alternatives --config thunderbird [22:35] Well ofcourse, I am mounting a folder that contains that stuff I want to access? [22:35] ? [22:35] vicium: make an empty directory somewhere and mount it there instead [22:36] Pecker: no alternatives for thunderbird [22:36] it's talking about the local place you are putting it. you'd essentially be "replacing" it (temporarily) [22:36] mar112: too obvious yet really irks me..i mean come on you cant use linux mascot..grr u ubuntu [22:36] geisterchor: thunderbird --version [22:36] Ok, i can just rename dir afterwards? [22:36] Or would that fuck up the mounting? [22:36] alright, time to reinstall google chrome, hopefully i get the plugins back.. :< [22:36] geisterchor: then you only have 1 version of thunderbird [22:36] vicium: not while it's mounted. you'll get an error (in use) [22:36] I have lots of www apache root paths and stuff leading to it [22:36] Is there any way I can do Persistence on a ubuntu Install without using the Casper-RW method? [22:37] We're talking about the target PC's folder now, correct? [22:37] (USB Pendrive ubuntu install) [22:37] vicium: ok pretend you want to mount it in /home/vicium/remote/ mkdir -v /home/vicium/remote; sshfs user@host:/path /home/vicium/remote [22:37] bastidrazor: that's the funny part, It says 10.0.2. But if I execute thunderbird it says version 3.1.1.9 when I look at Help -> Info [22:37] in this example, /home/vicium/remote is the LOCAL path to attach it to [22:37] and host:/path is the path on the remote system you want to attach to === charlie is now known as Guest89379 [22:37] eg if you have a file on server1 in /home/temp/BigFile.big [22:38] mount to /home/vicium/remote, [22:38] But the first time I mount the folder has to be empty? [22:38] you will see /home/vicium/remote/BigFile.big (if you mount server1:/home/temp/ to /home/vicium/remote) [22:38] Target folder* of other PC [22:38] Aha [22:38] Can anyone help me update the Luminance repository? (qtpfsgui) === Ttech is now known as Adran [22:38] The local directory is only going to be the attachment point. When you dismount it, the files "disappear" - they were never really local, they only looked that way [22:38] hi there [22:39] is there anyone know how to set PCman as the default [22:39] Okay, but just to double-check I got this right. The mountpath, is a folder on my LOCAL PC? not the remote one? [22:39] ok ok: sshfs [options] remoteSystem:/remotePath /localPath [22:39] does this help? [22:39] Yes, thanks :) [22:39] when you do this, /localPath will (essentially) be replaced by remotePath until it is dismounted [22:40] (fusermount --unmount /localPath) (or umount /localPath for non-fuse stuff) [22:40] Okay, so I assume I have to have that terminal open whilst mounted? [22:40] also: if you forget the user@, it will try to use the username you have on your local machine now. [22:40] Or screen it [22:40] the guys at #ubuntu+1 are boring.. [22:40] Its the same username, so win :) [22:40] Nah, you can close the terminal. It stays mounted until you dismount it, or shut down/reboot [22:41] Ah awesome [22:41] (or something else dismounts it, which shouldn't happen :P) [22:41] And now if I understand correclty, the remote path, does not have to empty then? [22:41] only local path does? [22:41] vicium: this may help ya http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/mounting.html [22:41] correct [22:41] and even then, you can override it [22:41] the files will "dissapear" but that's only because they are "covered" by the remote stuff. When you dismount, the old stuff reappears [22:42] vicium: if you go through that, just remember sshfs is just a wrapper around mount - it's mounting a remote system via SSH, instead of a local disk. same ideas though. [22:43] HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for /dev/sdb is doing my head in [22:44] Yay [22:44] its working :D [22:44] big thanks :) [22:44] !details| EastwardWinter6 [22:44] EastwardWinter6: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [22:44] EastwardWinter6: looks like a kernel bug [22:44] check into sshfs for remote mounting drives on another linux box, works well. [22:44] vicium: welcome :) [22:44] ki7mt: that's what I was just teaching about actually [22:45] I use it allot, have about 10 drives mounted from several machines, works a treat [22:45] Also, this version of the dist im running WIBE/WUBE.. even forgot the name. Someone mentioned it was very performance sloppy? === Adran is now known as Ttech [22:45] MonkeyDust Ubottu dreath i'm trying to install 11.10 to my net book. i get the the language selection and get that. I'm using a live USB [22:46] ok i am at the netinstall section with all the downloadable options.i dont see anything i need except maybe the audio plugins? i dont think i need the server system do i? and you said not to use ssh at first. [22:46] EastwardWinter6: doesn't seem to like the disk for some reason. how many disks (and what kind of disks are they) is on the thing? [22:46] Specs are fine, i7 running at 3.8ghz, and 16gb 1666mhz dd3 ram and ubuntu is on a SSD, but just thinking if its a bad idea or if it works fine running (WIBU?) [22:47] Shame to set everything up to later realise I should reformat [22:47] draeath is it the live usb or the netbook hd thats the problem? [22:47] haylo: I forget what options are there. can you give me a quick list? [22:47] do i need the audio plugins or should i just install alsa later? [22:47] EastwardWinter6: that's what I'm trying to guess. Can you get to a shell at all, or is it stuck at boot? [22:47] haylo: what is it calling "audio plugins" exactly? [22:48] i think that's the ubuntu-studio stuff for audio editing [22:48] Basic sever, openssh server, LADSPA/LV2/DSSI adio plugins [22:48] Whilst I am at it. Can I configure keybindings somehow? I'd like WINbutton+E to open homefolder... :P [22:48] !keybindings [22:48] haylo: ok you want 'basic server' and you shouldn't need anything else. you can always run 'tasksel' later or directly install stuff with apt / aptitude [22:48] Manual Package selection, Mythbuntufrontend and etc, the rest are all kubuntu etc [22:48] draeath stuck at boot. [22:49] ok great [22:49] any ideas how to get adobe reader .bin plugin working in firefox? [22:49] haylo: FYI there's a tool called 'apt-zip' that lets you download packages on one machine, with the intention of carring them to a networkless one to install. might be handy if your network won't work because of missing packages [22:49] draeath I managed to run check disk for errors from the live usb screen, and got no errors. [22:50] EastwardWinter6: can you do 'blkid /dev/sd?' - this should tell you what letter is what drive [22:50] also try blkid /dev/sd?? (yes two ?s) [22:50] wow ok draeath that makes sense [22:51] well, reinstalling chrome didn't help at all.. [22:51] fantastic [22:51] Can I make a scrip on my local machine to access either a screen on another remote system? Or option 2) start a remote .sh script? [22:51] scripts* [22:51] hey, anyone happen to know of a way to suspend/hibernate my current ubuntu session and boot into another os? [22:51] Hello everybody I am interested in downloading the firefox flash plugin installer! Does anyone know an alternative website other than firefox? [22:52] Zaitzev: I seem to remember having to symbolic link the flash .so file into a directory for chrome to see it. [22:52] a screen as in a running process* [22:52] !partner [22:52] you can install flash plugin from the partner repository via software center [22:52] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [22:52] vicium: look up "gnu screen" - couple that with SSH :P [22:52] draeath: yeah? [22:52] draeath it's gone to the ubuntu spalsh screen, but the error was sdb which is the larger partition with all the files saved on it. [22:52] Zaitzev: yea had to do it on debian. looking for details now. [22:53] vicium i'm familiar with screen and ssh, what's up [22:54] Zaitzev: this isn't it, but try this to make sure: http://linux.chrissweeney.co.uk/topic.php?t=76 [22:54] MonkeyDust, I have a (minecraft) server script running on a ECS. I'd like to (if possible) remotely be able to stop/start it, atleast start (I launch a .sh file) But just wondered if there was an easier faster way then to remote connect via ssh, cd, and then run the sh script [22:54] !info flashplugin-installer | maujhsn [22:54] maujhsn: flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 11.1.102.62ubuntu0.11.10.2 (oneiric), package size 9 kB, installed size 160 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) [22:54] TLDR Launch a .sh script on a remote machine running ubuntu [22:54] draeath: already did just that. it is non-existant [22:54] vicium: you can run a command directly via SSH [22:55] like ssh domain.com /home/sh.script.sh ? [22:55] Even with -user -password flags? [22:55] yep. make sure the script is executable and does a 'cd' to the path it needs to be in [22:55] So minimal input rquired [22:55] the strange thing is [22:55] Is it safe to have a plain text .sh file contain pw though? [22:55] It HAD flash installed before the formatting [22:55] otherwise it tries to run it from the home directory [22:56] vicium what you can do: modify .profile on the remote pc thus, that your script is run as soon as the ssh connection is made [22:56] vicium: generally not safe to have passwords sitting around [22:56] why it isn't now, I can't for the life of me understand [22:56] it seems so random [22:56] Zaitzev: look for a /plugins directory in your chrome directory [22:56] then find libflashplayer.so and copy/link it there [22:56] Okay, thanks guys :) [22:56] So much questions...... [22:57] im having a problem with software central its saying theres a coding error in aptdemon with this Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 968, in simulate [22:57] ubottu "I know your not human ...but how the hell are you:)?"

[22:59] draeath: thanks, it appears to be doing something now, so i'm going to leave it overnight. :) [22:59] how do i fix it [22:59] Zaitzev: yea how did you install flash? I recommend you install that flashplugin-installer package. look to see if /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so exists [22:59] (16:52:06) maujhsn: Hello everybody I am interested in downloading the firefox flash plugin installer! Does anyone know an alternative website other than firefox? - flashplugin-installer from repository [22:59] I haven't installed any flash manually [22:59] ok, see if that file exists [22:59] and I didn't need to when it DID work [22:59] having trouble with downloading updated onto new /used comp [23:00] Zaitzev: just look to see if it's there. you might be running flash through some gnash half-bakery and that might be the breakage. :P [23:00] work with me :) [23:00] draeath: I try ;D [23:00] look where, tho? [23:00] i have a problem with panel (i think that is name of top bar). I installed 2 different drag-and-drop-to-share application, and i have the same problem with both of them. Dragging to panel icon simply not working, except i run software with sudo. But when i run them with sudo, interface of app gets shitty (i guess it not use gtk?). What do you think the problem is? [23:01] heh. so run "file /usr/lib*/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so" [23:01] nothing but a blinking _ in the end. i used unebootin should i try agian? [23:01] haylo: did you install grub or lilo? [23:01] draeath: guess I gotta install flashplugin-installer then [23:02] i didnt see an option i thought it was grub automatically installed [23:02] yep. what will happen then, is you/ll have that file created (either in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64) - if 64, that one you want. [23:02] lib32 u mean ;P [23:02] yea :P [23:02] ignore that one :P [23:02] so just /usr/lib [23:03] so you'll want to create the /opt/chrome/plugins directory if it is missing [23:03] done [23:03] then either copy the libflashplayer.so there, or make a symlink (ln -s) [23:03] i recommend linking, so it updates when you update flash [23:03] mm [23:04] cd /opt/chrome/plugins; ln -sv /usr/lib/blahblah/libflashplayer.so [23:04] anyone know whats wrng? [23:04] alright done [23:04] now let's see what happens [23:04] haylo: nope, in expert it doesn't do so. you need to step through all the steps it hilights for you [23:04] haylo: sadface :( [23:05] i'm on youtube now [23:05] and, haha, [23:05] every video i click goes html5 [23:05] doh [23:05] Zaitzev: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [23:05] how do you know if you are having a graphics cars issue or an ubuntu issue? [23:05] Zaitzev is that good or bad? [23:05] Zaitzev: it runs a small animation and tells you the version you are running [23:06] draeath: i know, hehe [23:06] i just like testing on videos :p [23:06] but yeah it works [23:06] lol trial by fire eh? [23:06] Good :D [23:06] haha yep xD [23:06] draeath: you are my hero of the day [23:06] so: real flash wasn't installed, and at some point one of the opensource flash "replacements" was working, then stopped [23:06] I did reinstall Ubuntu tonight [23:07] (i'm all for flash replacements... when they work) [23:07] because of some major fubar [23:07] Wow.

[23:31] i'm about to give up ubuntu completely now [23:31] I'm constantly stonewalling on a new problem, one after another [23:32] Zaitzev: that's pretty common for ubuntu [23:32] here's the latest; [23:32] for example, deluge is running maximized [23:32] Is there a way to configure how Ubuntu alerts me when I get email? [23:33] however, if i hit the restore-button so I can have it windowed [23:33] I've been searching how to fix this for a while, but have come up with nothing. When I updated to 11.10, my on screen volume adjustment in the top bar disappeared. Anybody know how I can get it back? It's a pain in the arse to go through a terminal and alsa mixer every time I want to adjust the volume =/ [23:33] the window size is JUST outside the top of the screen [23:33] so I can't actually move it around [23:33] it happens to several windows [23:33] tajys: do you have pulse running on your system correctly? [23:33] not sure if its ubuntu or a grafix card but it loads up and lets me log in but when i go to the applications on top left (11.4) the drop down bar turns to the ubuntu purple screen just in that dropdown [23:34] any help? [23:34] hi everyone im new to computers [23:34] i was using ubuntu on my virtual box over windows [23:34] zykotic10, I never could get pulse to work right, so I just got rid of it [23:34] Zaitzev, you can also move windows by pressing "alt", clicking anywhere in the window, holding the mouse button down and moving === nixmaniack is now known as n1x [23:34] now 3d dint work properly in Virtual box.so i am planning for a dual boot [23:34] see! it's stuff like that [23:34] wish I knew :C [23:34] could someone guide me [23:34] tajys: THAT is why you don't see Gnome Volume then!!! It requires Pulse. [23:35] could someone tell how to uninstall linux which is already installed with the virutal box [23:35] ? [23:35] velko: thanks a million [23:35] brand: Sure, just burn a CD with whatever ubuntu version you like, then boot to it. [23:35] i can cross of another annoyance now :P [23:35] wad:could someone tell how to uninstall linux which is already installed with the virutal box? [23:35] brand: Just delete the virtual machine. [23:35] zykotic10, Bugger >.< I'd gotten rid of it before, too, and still had my volume adjustment thing =/ === shadowh511 is now known as xeyrohour [23:35] tajys: not anymore... === xeyrohour is now known as xyerohour === xyerohour is now known as shadowh511 === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [23:36] SSH Question - can I get two systems to authenticate to my file server with the same key? I'm looking to set up a backup process over the WAN but I have 1 user, and 2 computers (laptop vs desktop). Can I just copy the pub key for both client systems? [23:36] wad: how much space is needed? [23:37] i just have 5gb left in my C drive [23:37] zykotic10, *sigh* So, with pulse, I have no sound. Without pulse, I have no volume adjustment. Lame. [23:37] brand: That's a little small. [23:37] Roasted, yes [23:37] wad:yeah can i install it in D drive or something? [23:37] which kernel should i install to get the standard one that comes with 11.04? i have a looong list here in theis netinstall. my usual one is a 2.6.38.? generic [23:37] How many physical hard drives do you have? [23:38] brand, do you know the difference between physical hard drives and partitions? [23:38] wad: no im very new to computers [23:38] how can I circuvent my schools admin password? [23:38] just letting you know problem fixed ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and now it works [23:38] the_cops, boot to an Ubuntu CD. :) [23:38] brand: Do you have a D: drive? [23:39] wad good idea! [23:39] yes [23:39] How much space is on it? [23:39] wad tomorrow i will install ubuntu instead of windows we have no bios password [23:39] I think I accidentally removed my graphics driver. can anyone tell me how to install the open source ati graphics driver from the command line? [23:39] If you have physical access to the computer, even a bios password won't help. You can reset it on the motherboard. [23:40] 11gb is free there? [23:40] brand, what else do you have on that drive? [23:40] no kernel suggestions? there are 12 to chose from. how about linux-image-2.6.38-13-generic? [23:40] few important stuffs [23:40] wad: i cannot delete it [23:40] zykotic10, At least now I know why it's not there, though. Thanks ^.^; [23:40] brand, it's very likely that you only have a single physical hard drive in the computer. It is partitioned into two areas, which Windows calls C: and D:. [23:41] wad: oh [23:41] hi, while creating a bootable USB pen from mac [23:41] brand, the best thing to do is to move anything you need to keep from the D: drive to the C: drive, and then use Windows to delete the partition that Windows knows as D:. [23:41] How come every time I boot the clock is out by exactly 7 hrs, which is the relative universal time. The BIOS clock is right. [23:41] oh [23:41] Hey folks cheese vs xawtv which is the better of the two for webcam transmission? [23:41] it is necessary to do dd ... bs=1m? it's really slow this way [23:41] haylo: that is the current kernel in 11.04. [23:42] This will free up a whole bunch of space on the machine, and booting to an Ubuntu CD will let you use all that space for Ubuntu, giving you a nice dual-boot system. Which is what I use, actually. [23:42] cordyceps: change your time zone (sorry not sure how ubuntu deals with that, debian method doesn't work) [23:42] nice thanks [23:42] wad:can i use ubuntu in my hard disk external [23:42] my timezone is correct, MST [23:43] brand, I'm not sure. Probably not. It's probably a USB drive, so the USB drivers would need to be loaded from the bios in order to boot to it.... [23:43] oh [23:43] cordyceps, maybe you are dual booting with windows? and linux keeps the clock updated with utc and windows - with the local time. so basically they are fighting for the clock and overwrite its value [23:43] Copy all your D: drive stuff onto the external drive, then use windows disk manager to delete that partition. [23:43] wad: how much space does it actually take to install ubuntu [23:44] I don't know. A couple of gigs.

[23:53] brand, you understand what a virtual machine is, right? It's basically a computer inside your computer. [23:53] yeah [23:53] amazing [23:53] By deleting the virtual machine, you effectively vaporized that computer. :) [23:54] I hope you understood that when you deleted that box.
