[00:00] I had an ubuntu system crash/restart .. it seems an md resync auto started on a raid5 md device. Anyone know what would cause this? [00:01] wad: i saw in a youtube video,do we need to shrink the size of the c:? [00:01] brand, not if you're going to delete the D: partition (assuming you have a single hard drive in the machine). [00:02] brand: Use Windows' disk manager, and figure out what drives you have. [00:02] What Windows OS do you have on there? [00:02] wad: oh im confused.no im not going to delete any or i dont want to [00:02] ( [00:02] I don't want the proprietary drivers, I want the drivers directl from nvidia, and compile them and get the best performance as I've always done. Thank you though. [00:02] I'm unable to get a display when I boot up. when I try running startx from tty it says failed to load module fglrx, no drivers available, and fatal error: no screens found. can anyone please help? [00:02] How do I stop getting to unity toolbars when I run a "unity --replace"??? [00:03] barcef_mx: Uh, you can't [00:03] I didn't mean to be mean, I know ur just tyring to help. [00:03] goo\d luckwith that [00:03] brand, okay. If you on Windows XP, click the START button, then right-click MY COMPUTER, and choose MANAGE. Then get to the disk manager (or whatever it's called). [00:03] theadmin, I meant two unity toolbars [00:03] mike9863: try moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup and try startx again [00:03] You need some information on what drives you have, how much space they have, so you can plan your install. [00:03] barcef_mx: two? Hm, well, Unity has toolbars on top and on the left so it sounds normal to me [00:04] theadmin, no one underneath the other... [00:04] barcef_mx: Ah that... Might be some bug, dunno honestly, people did complain about this before [00:04] theadmin, they superimpose each other.. it's stranged [00:05] wad: yes i can see my disk drives [00:05] brand, also, take a moment and educate yourself on what partitions are, and how they are different from disks: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-partitions-and-logical-drives [00:05] zckotic10: that worked thanks [00:06] wad: nice [00:06] brand: So how many drives do you have in there? [00:07] And how many partitions? [00:07] i have 4 disk drives wit 2 partitions [00:08] wad, the output of "sudo sfdisk -l" will show for sure [00:08] velko, I think he's running Windows. Wanting to install Ubuntu in a dual-boot. [00:08] wad, oh sorry [00:09] brand: Four disk drives, with 2 partitions on each one, for a total of 8 partitions? [00:09] no no [00:09] Hi guys. I have a few question to ask here. Do any of you guy know much about grub because I want to get it organized so that the screen only shows my macbuntu partion start up things only none of that recovery junk. [00:09] i mean to say c and d are partitions and 2 hdds [00:09] brand: Ignore DVD or CD drives, and USB memory sticks, and USB external hard drives. [00:10] Ah, do you've got two hard drives, and each hard drive has one partition? [00:10] wad: just 2 partitions then [00:10] no it is a just one hard drive on a 160gb acer one laptop [00:11] alphafish: /etc/default/grub remove comment from GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true" then "sudo update-grub" = no more recovery stuff [00:11] brand: I've got to go in a moment. Take a look at something like this: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Installing_Ubuntu_with_Windows_Dual-Boot [00:11] wad; thank you very much for all your patience [00:12] No problem. You're gonna love Ubuntu on your computer, outside of the Virtual box. :) [00:14] what must I do to connect an android tablet to my ubuntu computer to share and exchange files? [00:14] grub question: I want to boot a real-time kernel at times. How do I force grub to display even though I've only got a single OS [00:14] Hi guys. I have a few question to ask here. Do any of you guy know much about grub because I want to get it organized so that the screen only shows my macbuntu partion start up things only none of that recovery junk. It worked fine when I had Xp on it. [00:15] anybody point me to somebody who knows something about bluetooth on 11.10 ? [00:15] ops sorry for that error [00:15] codepal: I use a bluetooth adapter in the usb port [00:16] CFHowlett: look for ?hidden options in /etc/default/grub [00:16] I'm trying to get a USB bluetooth dongle working, getting a Can't read local name on hci0: Connection timed out (110) [00:16] alpha sudo gedit /edit/default/grub # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries [00:16] #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true" [00:16] when I do hciconfig -a hci0 [00:16] I've got a MAC address [00:17] but it's not discovering my bluetooth headset [00:17] Is 32bit MPlayer the only video player on linux which suports win32 codecs? [00:17] searches all day [00:17] ok what I wanted to say was that my backtrack 5 partion has no sound to it and I have the unbuntu software center installed on it so is there any app that could help me with a audio problem. It is gnome version as well. [00:17] anyone wanna help me get my tablet connecting to my ubuntu computer [00:17] sburwood1, sure! [00:17] codepal: I haven't tried a headset [00:18] bluetooth tablet? [00:18] zykotic10 there're 2; hidden timout = 0, hidden time quiet = true/ I imagine I set a time on the timout and a change quiet to false/ [00:18] I've got an old serial wacom Intous2 working, ;-) [00:18] alphafish backtrack is not supported here, try #backtrack-linux [00:18] CFHowlett: that would be my guess as well [00:18] zykotic10 got it. Thanks. [00:19] I wanna use the usb cable I purchased to transfer stuff. My Archos 101 G9 turbo works with bluetooth, but it is slow and I want to use the cable [00:20] sburwood1, great thread that helped me setup my tablet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11731528 [00:20] sburwood1, usb cable for networking, sounds weird... [00:20] Thanks. One last question is it possible to have the new software center on a older version of Ubuntu. [00:20] no [00:21] codepal: thanks. Not for networking, for transfer of files from tablet to desktop and vice versa [00:22] ok, I see [00:22] well, c u all later [00:22] bye [00:23] So than I would be stuck with unity I take it. I know I can use gnome shell but that not the same. lol [00:24] alphafish i use ubuntu classic, no unity, no gnome-shell [00:24] I like unity! :) === q0rban is now known as q-rban [00:24] I wish I could configure the dashboard though...

If i put my pc at right it only work at the screen corner. [00:26] with ianything, for that matter [00:27] So do you have the stuff like the older version did or if it kind of like in bits?

I manged to mess it up on by having the power turned on it once. I have to say tho Ubuntu is pretty solid os compared to most out there and mint bad now if you ask me. lol [00:31] I liked Mint but Ubuntu is a winner...

However, I can't get it to give output to a monitor connected via a VGA cable -- any way to force it? [01:05] which tool is best for searching through your installed programs /usr/bin style .. to find where specific programs are stored? [01:05] not if the boardis damaged too [01:05] im looking for just a filename [01:05] Firebolt, that was for you [01:05] delinquentme try 'which' [01:06] delinquentme: which programname will tell you the fullpath to programname [01:06] delinquentme: e.g: which firefox-aurora # => /usr/bin/firefox-aurora [01:06] lovely! [01:06] Firebolt, i have the same problem with mine [01:06] pex__, I know that it's not -- I get output on the VGA monitor when I install debian [01:06] Firebolt, oh that is odd [01:07] Firebolt, maybe monitor settings- resolution/ [01:07] drivers? [01:08] pex__, I can't see anything though -- once I select the installer language, and tell it to install the OS, it stops working [01:08] Can I install ubuntu on fat32? [01:08] so i could access it from windows? [01:08] instead of installing it on ext4? [01:08] guyubuntu: nope [01:08] guyubuntu, no [01:09] ext4 is the only way to go?

Actually, you can read extX filesystems from Windows using ext2read [01:10] 4064 swap space is enough for ubuntu? [01:10] so i just sudo apt-get install rubygems1.9.1 << and it added nothing else .. however I get nothing when " which rubygems1.9.1 " any ideas? [01:10] theadmin, ext2read has aids. [01:10] 4064 swap space is enough for ubuntu? [01:10] guyubuntu: IFS is an option too. [01:11] guyubuntu: That depends on your RAM. That's more than enough, I'd never do more than 2 gigs personally actually [01:11] is anyone here familiar with bleeding edge by any chance? could really use some help [01:11] guyubuntu: as a general rule, your swap should match your physical RAM [01:11] 2gb ram in here. [01:11] i always thought it was more like double ram [01:11] guyubuntu: Then about 4GB will be fine yeah, might actually make it bit less [01:11] thanks [01:11] have a nice day [01:12] I love ubuntu [01:12] <3 [01:12] SaRSAeOL: that's the old rule yes, you need physical ram + a little, to use hibernation. [01:12] guyubuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:12] Keep up the good work [01:12] anyone? [01:12] delinquentme: That's because "rubygems1.9.1" is not a command, you're looking for "gem" [01:13] yeah theadmin and no luck on anything from there [01:13] oh [01:13] so I think i need to search out where in my lib that package resides [01:13] delinquentme: You can probably do something like this: dpkg -L packagename | grep -F '/bin/' [01:13] Umm yep I'm back should I make a partition for each, or I could use one as mount point? /? [01:14] guyubuntu: Normally you do separate / and /home [01:14] guyubuntu: But that's up to you [01:14] does it matter? [01:14] guyubuntu: With a separate /home, reinstalls are a whole ton easier [01:14] guyubuntu separate / and /home are easier to maintain [01:14] guyubuntu: two partitions / and swap is easiest [01:14] then I don't need it [01:14] thanks alot theadmin [01:14] MonkeyDust: ;) [01:14] and others [01:15] exit [01:16] anyone with maybe a little familiarity with bleeding edge [01:16] ? [01:16] marcucci217: ubuntu is pretty bleeding edge. What is your real question?

[01:18] MonkeyDust: at least we're on the same page on that one ;) [01:18] Speaking of swap, is there any advantage/disadvantage to using a swapfile vs using a dedicated swap partition? [01:19] CharminTheMoose: swapfiles can't be used for hibernate by default... other then that, i'm unaware of any differences [01:19] My Ubuntu 10.04 don't remember the default programs I choose for opening files. How can I correct this ? [01:19] hi every body is there is atool to login to folders as administrator without writing commands ? [01:19] CharminTheMoose: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info and i believe this page does explain a bit on partition verse file [01:19] just by right click [01:20] MonkeyDust, zykotic10 turns out there's an UbuntuOne icon (that appears to be installing what I need) in System Settings. Good thing this channel is family friendly, or I'd be calling myself all sorts of names... [01:21] whats new in ubuntu 12.04 beta 1?

[01:22] it looks like .profile is not getting sourced when I open a new terminal session. Where should this be happening? [01:22] Any idea why the vga= kernel option wouldn't output things correctly on my screen? [01:23] Firebolt: vga= is deprecated [01:23] uhm [01:23] Oh cool, thanks for that zykotic10 and bastidrazor [01:24] on my macbook pro 7.1 i'm trying to connect ubuntu to my wifi network, but i can't see my network (i can see others) [01:24] my network is up because on this laptop works and from osx works [01:24] zykotic10, any other way to to force output to a VGA port then? [01:24] My computer screen has a small scrape in it, about 1mm, like some one poked it with something sharp, any one know how to fix it? [01:24] Firebolt: vga= was used for resolution, what do you want - output to an external display? I have no idea on that. [01:25] yes zykotic10 [01:25] Firebolt: no clue, good luck. [01:27] What is the most lightweight Ubuntu-variant ? [01:27] e3d3: Officially supported one? Lubuntu [01:27] e3d3 lubuntu is light [01:27] <[deXter]> e3d3, Lubuntu [01:28] That's clear, Thanks. I'll try that because even 10.04 don't coorporate. [01:29] myersg, I don't think th IRC is your best source, and this is ubuntu support. [01:29] e3d3: if you want something even lighter then lubuntu, use the mini.iso and install whatever WM you want. [01:30] zykotic10: Thanks, I want as light as possible because I only use 2-4 GUI-apps max. [01:30] hmmm [01:30] Hello [01:30] just installed x chat [01:30] anyone to help me with an issue?

[01:32] Ok. === brian_ is now known as epistax [01:33] my friend bought a small tv as a monitor and everything was all swell until the next time he rebooted and when he did the top of his screen is missing and the bottom of the lubuntu screen is in the middle of the tv screen anyone know a quick fix ? [01:33] Can anyone help? [01:33] yaakow: i doubt what you want to do is possible... [01:34] I use acer aspire one 722, when i install the drivers I box shows up that i cant get rid of that says hardwhere unsorported, but if i don't, it don't show up [01:34] yaakow use ssh -Y to launch gparted on the remote pc, but make sure the active remote partition does not get dammaged [01:34] I need to maybe switch to init 1 but with keeping the network/ssh running. [01:34] MonkeyDust: except parted can't resize the partition it's running from. yaakow [01:34] !runlevels | yaakow [01:34] yaakow: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [01:35] I have a mac and can boot Ubuntu on live CD. Then I want to make a USB boot drive for a friends; older windows computer. Please send me to a way. (the psychocats way used a Windows program so it's not for me) [01:35] zykotic10 i take it the guy does not want to resize an active partition [01:35] @Monkey, can I do that with main root always mounted partition? [01:35] yaakow, thats not possible [01:35] MonkeyDust: he wants to resize / [01:35] hey, i know i asked this before, but i didn't get much of a response...what's the easiest way for me to suspend what i'm doing in ubuntu and switch to another OS i have installed on this machine? [01:35] ok [01:35] Yeah, I do [01:35] hi all! i'm running ubuntu server 11.04. logrotate is part of cron.daily and it is running properly (tested with run-parts -v) but it only seems to be rotating the syslog [01:36] i thought it was supposed to rotate everything in /var/log ? [01:36] Can I switch to single user, with staying online, is that an option? [01:36] yaakow: that's not going to help for you issue [01:36] Escherial, reboot is the easiest way. You cannot change os in midstream. You can have one in a virtual machine and use it inside of the originally booted OS [01:37] yaakow tricky workaround: use a live cd on the remote pc, change the network range, then ssh -Y to it and use gparted -- does that make sense? [01:37] tripelb: right, rebooting is fine, but i'd like to hibernate my ubuntu session somehow so that when i return everything's as it was [01:37] Escherial: is the "other os" a gnu/linux? [01:37] (i guess it'd amount to serializing the contents of ram to disk and then restoring them when the OS reboots) [01:37] Escherial, I understand your question. AFAIK that is not possible. ah zykotic takes over. [01:37] zykotic10: windows, sadly :\ if it were, would there be some other way? [01:37] I don't have physical acces to server now. [01:37] Escherial: can't help then [01:38] No live cd. [01:38] zykotic10: what if it were a gnu/linux os? [01:38] All I have is one huge partition. [01:38] Escherial: KVM can boot physical partitions, like a VM [01:38] I want to make a USB boot from Ubuntu not from windows. (I have a mac and can boot a live CD) This will be to help a friend with a trashed optical drive. [01:39] Any one know what type of Drive Cradles a Data Domain DD565 uses? It looks like it might be the same cradles as a supermicro… can someone please confirm [01:39] omnicitadel, try ##hardware [01:39] zykotic10: interesting...well, i could probably get windows running in a vm like xen. perhaps i should look into that, although i'm afraid of the performance hit. [01:39] gracias bazhang [01:39] but hibernating and then switching OSs isn't possible, huh? [01:39] Does anyone know if I can work in single-user thru ssh somehow? [01:39] Escherial: if you use xen (which i personally haven't) i don't think you'd have much of a performance hit actually [01:40] (i mean, via a full hibernate -> reboot into OS #2 -> use other OS -> reboot into ubuntu -> restore cycle) === the_cops is now known as FAIL [01:40] I faild my test cause i was on #ubuntu === FAIL is now known as Guest76063 [01:40] Escherial i think it is, yes [01:41] Has anyone any experience with installing openstack? [01:41] zykotic10: neat; i'll definitely give that a shot, then. it'd be extra nice if i could mount my existing second OS's partition into xen, but that may be asking for a lot === Guest76063 is now known as dustmonkey [01:41] Escherial: i haven't played with xen, so not sure... [01:41] Hey does anyone know if there's anything I can do if I have too many partitions but I want to install ubuntu here's a screen shot http://s14.postimage.org/a9wo9h4o1/my_partitions.png [01:42] MonkeyDust: the hibernation method? for some reason, my machine doesn't seem to allow hibernating...i think it's because i'm missing a swap partition, but i imagine i could create one with gparted [01:42] MonkeyDust: er, but i realize i'm asking quite a few questions at once @_@ sorry, overcaffeinated [01:42] HI all! [01:42] Escherial: hibernation requires a RAM+"a little" swap parition by default [01:42] hi Zac_o_O [01:43] I want to make a USB boot drive WITHOUT WINDOWS, and the directions are using windows afaik [01:43] tripelb: usb-creator-gtk is distributed with Ubuntu [01:43] zykotic10: ok, good to know. i guess needing it to be double the size of your ram isn't necessary anymore... [01:43] tripelb do you mean 'without using windows'? [01:43] tripelb aka no unetbootin? [01:44] tripelb: could you clarivy what you mean by "usb boot drive"? like a liveusb? [01:44] Escherial: overkill in most modern cases, do you really want an 8GB+ Swap - probably not ;) [01:44] tripelb simply boot a live CD and create your USB there [01:45] tripelb OR go to a mac store and do it [01:45] MonkeyDust * dustmonkey am i seeing double (reverse double anyways) ;) [01:45] zykotic10: yeah, no, i don't :3 hmm, so is there any way i can do this whle the machine's still running or do i necessarily need to boot from a live cd/usb stick? [01:45] dustmonkey, sounds simple. How? .. I dont care what version of ubuntu I use 9, 10 or 11.04 ... From 10.10 there is no longer a usb-creator package [01:45] tripelb both answers use no windows [01:45] zykotic10 one disciple already :p [01:45] the partition i need to resize is not currently mounted afaik -- i'm running ubuntu off a relatively tiny partition compared to the main OS's partition [01:45] dustmonkey I dont understand about the mac store [01:46] tripelb install the unetbootin package that will do it for you [01:46] I dont understand How to make a usb boot disk from Ubuntu. dustmonkey [01:46] Escherial: not sure? [01:46] MonkeyDust: ;) [01:46] I cant install anything if I am booted from a liveCD dustmonkey [01:46] tripelb wrong [01:46] tripelb as for the mac store, well that was a silly joke, you could use one of there machines and get into bash and do it there [01:47] tripelb you can install but the package will not be there when you re-boot [01:47] dustmonkey, cfHowlett, ok help me. I have a mac right here I am on it. I can get into terminal. this sounds grand. [01:48] tripelb sounds like you need to google unetbootin [01:48] tripelb they have a Mac package for creating live USB distros [01:48] tripelb should be a sourceforge page [01:48] dustmonkey, cfHowlett, --- I see this on the FromUSBStick webpage sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk or usb-creator-kde ---- OK I will google that. Maybe that's what I need to know. [01:49] tripelb that or unetbootin - same technique different apps. [01:49] tripelb that will be the easiest way to accomplish what you are looking for [01:49] * dustmonkey CFHowlett hi-five! [01:50] dustmonkey, cfHowlett, --- thanks. reading this. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [01:50] tripelb rock on! [01:52] to put 11.10 on a USB you can just use "sudo cat ubuntu.iso > /dev/sdX" X being the drive letter, no partition required. Much easier then unetbootin [01:53] are there any DISadvantages to 10.04 compared to 11.04 -- I want to use gnome not Unity. [01:53] tripelb: 10.04 packages are older then 11.04 - only "real" difference [01:53] tripelb: You can still use Gnome 2 in 11.04. [01:53] xykotic10 that is not easier if you have no grasp of what you are doing, tripelb never enter commands from an IRC channel if you are unsure of what they do === shawn is now known as shawnn [01:54] dustmonkey: TAB fail :p - but perhaps you're right [01:54] zykotic10 I like your way better [01:55] dustmonkey, right about entering things I am unsure of. and unetbootin looks awesome. [01:55] I have a system on my local network with cups running. I would like to administer it with something like: https://192.168.0.4:631 - I get "forbidden" what do I need to set on the config file to allow this [01:56] How does zykotic10's method work? Does catting an iso file to a partition actually make it automagically bootable? Wow that's weird. [01:56] CharminTheMoose: 11.10 is a hybrid ISO [01:56] log I've heard you can but I've not been able to do that from the liveCD. (gnome was intuitively obvious to me from the first moment. It was like, oh this is so much simpler than windows. but unity is like finding a black cat at night in a lava field) [01:56] full of black cats but you want a specific one [01:56] zykotic10 you could also dd if=your.iso of=/USB [01:57] dustmonkey: true, but the people that came up with hybrid ISOs recommend cat, so that's what i use/suggest [01:57] zykotic10 good call! [01:58] zykotic10 I did not RTFM, remember to RTFM everyone [01:58] !rtfm | dustmonkey [01:58] dustmonkey: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [01:58] :P [01:59] I don't seem to have permission to edit sources.list in /etc/apt , what can i do? [01:59] log ok ill use argh tee eff emmm from now on [01:59] I don't have rw perms, what can i do? [01:59] log thanks [01:59] ubiguy: Did you sudo? [01:59] dustmonkey: Hehe. [01:59] how to sudo file explorer? [01:59] sudo nautilus [02:00] gksudo nautilus [02:00] dustmonkey: ubuntulog NO!!! [02:00] ubuntulog: dustmonkey see pangolin above [02:00] nautilus command not found [02:00] hello world [02:00] sorry ubuntulog, TAB fails - was meant for ubiguy [02:00] is there anyway i can wipe windows from my dual boot, just keeping ubuntu?

[02:08] BoyOfWuHan, debian is not supported here [02:08] ubunutu is a debian distro btw [02:08] CharminTheMoose: It's two directory structures, each about 3tb in size :\ [02:08] ubuntu* [02:08] BoyOfWuHan debian doesn't = ubuntu.

E.g. if I try to use wget https://localization.att.com it fails on ubuntu server [02:08] Feeck, dont repeat every five seconds [02:08] basically wipe windows entirely [02:08] and just keep ubuntu [02:09] well then baxhang you know who i am you banned me a couple of weeks ago [02:09] shawnn use ubuntu to delete the windows partitions (it'll require sudo) and it's gone... [02:10] alright do you mind telling me how? [02:10] hello, does anyone know where I can find old debian packages for google chrome? specifically version 13, 64 bit? [02:10] just look for the partition and delete it? [02:10] i got the blue screen of death apparently on my windows so i needa wipe it :( [02:10] shawnn windows partition doesn't show under your Places menu? [02:11] CFHowlett: ,,,,,anyquestion about GNU linux should have a free sky.. [02:11] BoyOfWuHan, it does not. stop asking here. #debian for debian support [02:11] hmm im actually on gnome so i dont have a places menu xP [02:11] <_Marcus> BoyOfWuHan: Don't ask here. This is Ubuntu support. [02:12] BoyOfWuHan best place to get help with debian is #debian. [02:12] guys I can't install nmap [02:12] :[ [02:12] ?

[02:13] oh .. [02:13] ubiguy still in 12.04? [02:13] <_Marcus> BoyOfWuHan: Ubuntu seems like Debian, that's because it's based off of it. You won't get support for Debain here. You most likely will never get support here for that. Go to #debian or anywhere but this chat room because this is #ubuntu, which is for UBUNTU support. [02:13] <_Marcus> ubiguy: pastebin that next time, please. [02:13] ok actually i went to "disk utility" and see the partitions, should i just delete the windows? are there any dependencies from ubuntu that would case it to be unstable [02:14] <_Marcus> ubiguy: And what Ubuntu version are you using? [02:14] yes i know. [02:15] Is there any inbuilt commands like cat src.java or more src.java, but it also shows with syntax coloring.. I dont want to use vim to open up every file.. === dustmonkey is now known as Un-buntu [02:16] ive got some old servers running jaunty.

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [02:18] delinquentme: try dpkg search instead [02:18] rh1n0, best to use LTS if you don't like to upgrade [02:19] think the LTS upate is going to be easy in april? [02:19] rh1n0, got an example search string? [02:19] * Hybridsix Leaving [02:19] delinquentme: or aptitude search rubygems [02:19] dlentz: i usually use lucid but this project has some olddddd servers.

I want a gcc.what should i do [02:19] newer: ask in #debian [02:20] ok [02:20] see thats the weird thing .. i install "sudo apt-get install rubygems1.9.1 " and then " gem --version" >> "1.3.5" [02:20] delinquentme: sorry, meant dpkg -s 'ruby' [02:20] doesnt make sense to me :D [02:21] delinquentme: if it were me i would just install ruby 1.8 then install rvm to get the later versions. rvm rocks. [02:21] adpaolucci end of april [02:21] delinquentme: http://beginrescueend.com/ [02:21] rh1n0, true! but this machine is for a production server .. so I figured it would be extra stuff [02:21] ya but think going from the old LTS to the new one will be easy? === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [02:21] do you think that would be wise to just install RVM on a production machine? [02:22] delinquentme: i use rvm in production all the time ;) [02:22] really! [02:22] Hmm [02:22] adpaolucci LTS to LTS is supported. [02:22] sweet [02:22] yep i know many projects that use it as well. Its installed as root though - 'server-wide' [02:22] \quit [02:23] adpaolucci preparation: move your /home to a dedicated /home, clean up your system, back up and your data. That way, if you have to clean install, you can keep your data [02:23] trism: Installed highlight.. but it seems more of a hassle to convert every single file...

[02:32] Boom_Farmer, ctrl-alt f1-7 will get you to the tty [02:32] Actually F 1-12 [02:32] Boom_Farmer, ah [02:32] never use except when needed. [02:33] you may have to 'sudo service lightdm restart' to get it to reread the new sesions. [02:33] or just lightdm --test-mode -c /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [02:33] bbl.

[02:59] hello [02:59] EagleScreen: No windows is a joke and plus / is a file directory so it wont let you [02:59] I used the heart character to separate username from password, lol, it is a strange character [03:00] ...g2g [03:01] ആ𐎱𐎳𐎽𐎬𐎰𐎱𐎱𐎺𐏃𐏃𐎼𐎳𐎾𐎾𐎿𐏋 [03:01] ആ𐎱𐎳𐎽𐎬𐎰𐎱𐎱𐎺𐏃𐏃𐎼𐎳𐎾𐎾𐎿𐏋 [03:01] ആ𐎱𐎳𐎽𐎬𐎰𐎱𐎱𐎺𐏃𐏃𐎼𐎳𐎾𐎾𐎿𐏋 [03:01] Feeck: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:03] thanks Feeck [03:03] hi [03:04] Have anyone successfully installed the OpenJMS on ubuntu? [03:11] MartinDK see http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Installation:Debian [03:20] hi. how can i make /usr/sbin/hddtemp not require sudo? [03:21] Hello all! I'm attempting to dual boot windows7 and Ubuntu. I've freed up plenty of space on my hard drive, but the Ubuntu installer doesn't seem to recognize the free space. [03:21] By freed up I mean via the partition manager in windows [03:21] and by recognise? [03:22] Silver`: Whenever I select manual partition setup, I don't see the "free space" that I see in tutorials [03:22] oh i see. well that beats me [03:22] jmccullough paste a pic [03:23] I have an SSD but I want it on the harddrive, but the only drive option they are giving me for the guided install is the SSD [03:23] CFHowlett: Will do, one minute [03:25] How might I use my Macbook while on my Ubuntu desktop? They'd both be in the same house and network. I've seen people do it before, but I don't know how. [03:26] RPG-Master: How do you mean use? SSH? Remote desktop? === airstrik1 is now known as airstrike [03:28] jmccrohan: I think it's remote desktop? Like, almost like a virtual machine, but not running on another computer. [03:28] CFHowlett: You there? Here's the image http://i.imgur.com/DmsM6.jpg [03:29] jmccullough freed space is on sda or sdb? [03:29] CFHowlett: sdb [03:29] RPG-Master: If you want to be able to navigate your Mac's terminal, I can help you with that [03:29] RPG-Master: From your ubuntu machine [03:29] jmccullough you want to use the whole drive for ubuntu? [03:30] what's a good cd burner? K3b is failing on me and Brasero is flipping slow. [03:30] physically_fit a good cd burner SHOULD be slow to reduce errors. [03:30] CFHowlett: Nope. I freed up space in the Windows partition manager so Ubuntu could live there [03:30] jmccullough: What I'd like to be able to do is use Photoshop from my Ubuntu desktop. [03:31] jmccullough so click on the sdb1, change and size up your partition. [03:31] growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/file.iso :) [03:31] CFHowlett, but i told brasero to burn at 24x and it's burning at 3.3x [03:31] RPG-Master: Ah, I see. If the computers are right next to eachother, I'd look into using Synergy. It allows you to share your mouse/keyboard accross a network [03:31] OK, so I google image searched and this sums up what I'd like to do. http://linuxremotedesktop.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/java_remote_desktop_for_linux-296055-12559178401.jpeg [03:31] physically_fit 24x is MAX speed not established speed. [03:31] CFHowlett, which one do you use? [03:31] brasero at slowest speed. [03:32] CFHowlett, bur k3b was fast and i tell it to burn at 16x and it does it without errors, but now k3b doesnt recognize my cd unit [03:32] CFHowlett: I have a lot of options under the Use as, such as swap area, Fat32 file system, etc. What should I do with it? [03:33] what's a good cd burner? K3b is failing on me and Brasero is flipping slow. [03:33] growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/file.iso [03:33] jmccullough: Seems like I'v read about that Synergy. I'll look into it. [03:33] physically_fit, i have to burn a lot of data, please help me [03:33] But, my goal would to have something like in that screenshot. [03:34] RPG-Master: Basically it lets you have a dual-screen workflow across multiple OS [03:34] lol [03:34] i have to burn a lot of data, please help me [03:34] jmccullough you need a / "root" of say 6 gigs for ubuntu, a "/home" of whatever size and a /swap. I use 2x ram for swap so 8 gigs. ext 4 is the default format. [03:34] RPG-Master: Ah, well I don't know how to do that myself, sorry. [03:34] brasero i hate you [03:34] jmccullough: Cool. Thanks for the help. :) [03:34] hello i am trying to conduct a small contest where users can login and participate. what all things should be taken careoff while setting the permissions of each and every folder and how to restrict users from executing certain commands? [03:34] *users can ssh [03:34] jesuschrist [03:35] jmccullough my battery is minutes away from shutdown. msg received? [03:36] CFHowlett: Thanks for the help. I am able to set it to EXt4, but I don't see where to adjust the size [03:36] jmccullough you need a / "root" of say 6 gigs for ubuntu, a "/home" of whatever size and a /swap. I use 2x ram for swap so 8 gigs. ext 4 is the default format [03:36] CFHowlett: Yes I recieved the message, than you for your time [03:37] jmccullough are you on alternate installer or gui? [03:37] question, anyone here know anyone who has mod powers on launchpad? Or where I can report pharma spam on launchpad to? [03:37] CFHowlett: Normal Kubuntu installer [03:38] jmccullough long time no see kubuntu, but process is similar. the size setting function is there somewhere. Paste a pic and we'll probably find it. === mike_ is now known as Guest56613 [03:38] jmccullough as my battery says 5 minutes, paste the pic and ask the channel for help with sizing the partition. [03:38] good luck [03:39] should be able to drag the bar [03:39] i hate brasero and i hate twitter too [03:39] CFHowlett: Thank you [03:39] kubu has 2 bars... one before one after [03:39] the after bar has a black line which is sizable [03:39] drag where you want [03:39] hay algún canal donde se hable español? [03:40] rodrerich, !es [03:40] L3top: I see that now, did not notice that before. However, it's only giving me the option to do that on my SSd, I'd like to do that on my hard drive [03:40] !es [03:40] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [03:40] rodrerich, ese mismito [03:40] dropdown will let you select the drive [03:40] battery is a sad thing to waste:) [03:40] L3top: It sems like it should, but the SSD is the only option [03:41] when the screen is locked, audacious don't play music any more how can I fix this? [03:41] !es > rodrerich [03:41] rodrerich, please see my private message [03:41] then... either your drive is already mounted for some reason, or some sort of problem... [03:41] ctrl alt f2 [03:42] FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY brasero [03:42] L3top: Could it be a dirty ubuntu uninstallation? [03:42] not sure... [03:42] I mean [03:42] you are on live cd I presume yes? [03:42] cause this part of the installer is looking at the physical device [03:43] L3top: I'm not sure, I'm just using the standard installation image [03:43] It probably mounts and unmounts it almost instantly in order to get usage info [03:43] when the screen is locked, audacious don't play music any more how can I fix this? [03:43] then it is just looking at the device, its contents dont matter [03:43] L3top: I'm booted into it, I was able to use ctrl alt f2 to get to the shell [03:43] booted from the cd * [03:44] gotcha... [03:44] jmccullough: What happens if you select the /dev/sdb1 and press Add? [03:44] Silver`: I can't [03:44] mount | grep /dev/s* [03:44] Silver`: It's greyed out [03:44] first select "dev/sdb1" [03:44] follow Silver`I have to get back to what I am doing if I want to sleep tonight [03:45] L3top: Okay, thanks for help [03:45] L3top: Greatly appreciated :) [03:45] when the screen is locked, audacious don't play music any more how can I fix this? [03:45] Silver`: Done, options are Change and Delete [03:46] Here is the picture of what it looks like again http://i.imgur.com/DmsM6.jpg [03:48] i saw the pic the first time i just think u didn't select the last partition [03:48] the "unknown" one [03:48] trying to get seamless mode working when ubuntu 11 is guest on virtualbox and windows 7 is host [03:48] installed dkms, and the guest additions via the guest additions installer in virtualbox [03:48] Silver`: Yeah, unfortunately I don't get an add option [03:48] doesn't seem to be making a difference [03:49] jmccullough: you haven't chosen a root mount point in that picture, you will also have check format on the partition /dev/sdb1 as it's unknown [03:50] sacarlson: The partition is actually my entire hard drive (the /sda's are from my SSD). It's not recognizing anything on the hard drive it seems [03:51] jmccullough: it won't recognize a partition that is not formated [03:52] sacarlson: I'd like to use the free space on the hard drive to create a partition usable by Ubuntu. It feels like I had done it before with my first ubuntu installation [03:52] jmccullough: what is your goal to break up the disk sdb into smaller parts? [03:52] sacarlson: Yes, that is my goal [03:53] sacarlson: I will take a screenshot of my windows partition setup [03:53] jmccullough: if you don't want to use the entire disk as a single partition then I guess you will have to delete partition sdb1 [03:53] sacarlson: Will my data on the hard drive be safe? [03:54] is there any solution for linux to trully edit pdfs? [03:54] sacarlson: I notice if I press delete, the partition turns into "free space". Kubuntu lets me undo that operation, I fear that deleting the partition implies deleting the data [03:54] jmccullough: I take it no OS is using any part of /dev/sdb1 ? [03:55] sacarlson: Windows is using it. Screenshot incoming in a moment [03:55] jmccullough: if so then you must have already deleted it and the data is already lost unless you haven't applied what I already see [03:56] sacarlson: I'm on windows right now, the screenshot you are looking at is with me not altering anything [03:56] usually when u resize windows partitions the free space is unwritten, empty. what did u use to resizi windows partition? [03:57] jmccullough: from what I see here your windows exists on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 [03:57] resize* [03:57] Here is how my windows partition looks [03:57] http://i.imgur.com/RFCwe.png [03:57] vuze or qbittorrent? [04:00] jmccullough: I'm not sure why those images don't seem to match as you windows shows a 500gb disk present and the ubuntu shows a 1TB disk, are those both the same disk? [04:01] sacarlson: I have the HD partitioned under windows [04:01] sacarlson: I split the 1TB hard drive into a couple of drives [04:01] is there any archived rops for karmic? [04:01] repos* [04:01] jmccullough: well I should be able to see the split in ubuntu as it recognizes ntfs partitions also === rafa is now known as Guest33518 [04:02] sacarlson: Exactly, which is why I'm so frustrated right now. [04:02] i think you should unsplit the disk in windows then install ubuntu? [04:02] jmccullough: your not running with wubi are you? [04:02] sacarlson: Is it because these partitions are not "primary partitions" ? [04:02] sacarlson: No [04:03] jmccullough: no as far as I know ubuntu recognizes more types of partitions than windows does not less [04:03] how can i print on a printer that is connected to a windows pc? [04:04] is it hard to setup? [04:04] jmccullough: that image in windows you pastebin last was that an old image before what I now see in ubuntu ? [04:04] sacarlson: No, that's all from this IRC session [04:05] Silver`: I'm okay with any solution so long as I don't lose my data. I'm considering just nuking the hard drive and putting things back after kubuntu installs >_> [04:05] jmccullough: all I can think of is that was a planed partition and wasn't applyed yet [04:06] i don't think u need to do that. i dont know how you split up the disk in two. could you put it back together? [04:06] jmccullough: like what is seen now in ubuntu with sudo fdisk -l [04:07] sacarlson: I'll do that, I'll need to boot back from the CD [04:07] Silver`: I could put it back together, yes. [04:07] well i guess that'd be faster than nuking [04:11] sacarlson: fdisk shows nothing [04:11] jmccullough: nothing? you did put sudo [04:11] sacarlson: No, will do, sec [04:12] $sudo fdisk -l where -l is lower case -L [04:12] sacarlson: Any particular part of interest? I have no way of copying and pasting haha [04:12] jmccullough: the line that has /dev/sdb1 would be of interest [04:13] sacarlson: Okay, in the form of key => value,... [04:13] jmccullough: as in format like: /dev/sdb1 * 1 12748 102398278+ 83 Linux [04:14] sacarlson: Device => /dev/sdbi, Boot =>, Start => 63, End => 1953523119, Blacks => 976761528+, ID => 42, System => SFS [04:14] sdb1* [04:14] And blocks, not blacks [04:14] ok === Feesh is now known as Guest53634 [04:15] Is it possible an old GNU grub installation is mounting these disks? [04:15] And causing some issues [04:15] jmccullough: well that also doen't match your ubuntu partition manager image so ? [04:16] jmccullough: so how many sdbX do we have then? [04:17] sacarlson: That's it [04:17] jmccullough: but there must also be some unused part of sdb then [04:18] jmccullough: I've never heard of system SFS , I guess that's some windows partition that is subdivided in windows [04:19] jmccullough: lol, racist shell commands :D [04:19] szal: :P [04:20] could it be because he has a basic disk and a dynamic disk? [04:21] I'm looking at this thread now: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1669910 [04:24] I see somthing [04:24] SFS volumes are encrypted volumes [04:24] From thi sblog post http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/02/manual-advanced-partitioning-in-ubuntu.html [04:24] "If you are going to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows 7, make sure your drive is a Basic disk and not a Dynamic one as Dynamic disk is Microsoft proprietary thing." [04:25] Notice in the picture the D/E drives, which make up the large hard drive, are all Dynamic [04:25] jmccullough: so I take it then that ubuntu can't mount an SFS file system [04:25] sacarlson: It appears to be that way, es [04:26] sacarlson: According to a forum thread I just read [04:26] jmccullough: yes I noted the drive E: later that must be a sub partition of the SFS [04:27] jmccullough: so there is no unpartitioned space left on that disk then? === xGrind is now known as Guest24582 [04:27] sacarlson: Does that 200gb unallocated qualify as unpartitioned space? I imagine it would yet we can't see it [04:27] how to cross compile for arm in ubuntu x86 platform ? [04:27] jmccullough: seems to only add up to about 700GB in windows but maybe that's all you get? [04:28] running latest ubuntu desktop [04:28] Can anyone here help me with a tftp-hpa issue I am having? === Guest24582 is now known as xgrind2 [04:29] jmccullough: I'm not seeing the whole view of sudo fdisk -l so I'm not sure if there is any [04:29] hi all, does anyone know how to get power saving mode for 11.10? im not using a laptop or netbook at all, just a normal desktop pc, i have checked the power settings in system settings, but it seems it doesn't work [04:29] sacarlson: I'll do the "try kubuntu" mode so I can have access to the terminal and internet so I can paste it [04:30] ohh how many people [04:30] jmccullough: you can install pastebinit in the temp live cd and send with that [04:30] puppy just have 37 [04:31] buenas noches señores [04:31] Anyone know how to scroll up in irssi? >_>... [04:31] ./dev/sda1 + /dev/sda2 = 40 000 MB = Disk 0 in Windows. /dev/sdb1 = 1TB = Disk 1 in Windows (531 GB + 200 + 195 +5) [04:32] Silver`: yeah, ssd is 40gig, hd is 1tb [04:32] According to this blog post: "If you wish to find out if your disk is a Basic or a Dynamic one from the Ubuntu Live CD, run following command in Terminal (Applications > Accessories). [04:32] sudo fdisk -l [04:32] If the output contains "SFS", probably you've got Dynamic disk. Time to go back to Windows and convert the disks" [04:33] Hey [04:33] jmccullough: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit ; and send the resulting page [04:33] and ubuntu can't see the windows files of drives D: and E: [04:33] Is there a way to get gparted on a Windows machine without the boot disk? [04:33] yep, i say convert them to Basic Disk too [04:34] sacarlson: I will in a few after I attempt to convert these disks [04:34] Also; how would I make a dual boot setup with Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7? I'm assuming I just setup a seperate partition for each and install each OS into those. [04:34] Rakyth: I'm not sure they have a gparted in windows maybe partition magic [04:34] OK I've got a ubuntu server up on EC2 .. with a web server running on it .. the web servers config is set to serve out at port 3000 ... however: http://ec2-23-20-139-29.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3000/ is giving me nothing [04:34] Rakyth: Just make sure you don't go partition crazy or you'll end up in the mess I'm in now! [04:35] actually im gonna take it to ubuntu-server [04:35] sacarlson: I just need to edit the partitions of a drive connected to my computer [04:35] delinquentme:Get your public ip [04:35] Not my C: drive [04:35] delinquentme: From the AWS console [04:35] delinquentme: It's basically the numbers after ec2 [04:35] Rakyth: you can run gparted or the newer version in ubuntu [04:36] Yeah but I have one USB key and I have windows 7 already bootable on it [04:36] delinquentme: Make a record in your hosts file: 23.20.139.29 myserver.com [04:36] I would like to sleep tonight if you catch my drift [04:36] Okay, gotta back up my data now that I'm getting into dangerous territory [04:36] jmccullough, so im actually not seeing any public IP .. only DNS public/private .. and private IP [04:36] Thanks to sacarlson and Silver` for all the help in the event you are gone before the data finishes backing up [04:37] ping 23.20.139.29 [04:37] i can run ifconfig on the server [04:37] jmccullough: just remember to partition ubuntu correctly :) [04:37] Forgot you can't ping ec2, nvm [04:37] Silver`: yup yup :P [04:37] i think i'll be here :P [04:37] >:D< good luck [04:37] Okay! \o/ [04:38] Ty!! [04:38] \o\ \o/ /o/ [04:38] \o\ /o/ \o\ /o/ [04:38] jmccullough: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:38] :P [04:38] * T_H_X giggles a bit [04:38] delinquentme: Those amazon public IPs aren't going to work in your browser like that [04:39] Out of curiosity: Could I use Ubuntu to partition my windows partition after I install windows 7? [04:39] Rakyth, you should probably shrink you windows partition first within windows [04:39] Rakyth: partitioning should preferably be done _before_ installing something on them [04:40] mycomputer> right click > manage > manage hard disk [04:40] jmccullough, yeah im googling and cant find an external way to check the ip [04:40] i think he has ubuntu and wants to install windows [04:40] that's what I'm asking about [04:40] internal way to get the external IP [04:40] Ohhhh [04:40] No I have windows XP and one USB key with a windows 7 live disk on it [04:41] but i dont think u can partition windows that way (it's easyer to do it in wondows actually) [04:41] how do I partition my other drive without wiping the hour long process of throwing windows 7 back on it? [04:41] so what you're suggesting is [04:41] I go ahead and install windows 7 [04:41] partition inside windows [04:41] delinquentme: What are you running on the server that responds to port 3000? [04:41] and then install ubuntu? [04:41] jmccullough, trinidad [04:42] Rakyth: seems we just learned if windows7 is using SFS file system then you can't use ubuntu to break it up [04:42] what the crap is SFS? [04:42] encrypred dynamis disk [04:42] dynamic* [04:42] ...alright [04:42] Can windows partition its own drive? [04:42] ok let me ask this again, does anyone know how to get the power saving mode on 11.10 ubuntu? im not on a laptop nor netbook [04:42] so don't encrypt disks :P [04:43] or decrypt them before installing ubuntu [04:43] GhostWolf: Enable laptop mode. It should start power saving just the same. [04:43] Boom_Farmer, but im not on a laptop [04:43] this is great [04:44] fianlly Unity is getting better [04:44] xsinick: what's great ? [04:44] GhostWolf: it's called laptop mode because people generally use it on laptops, but the powersaving measures it applies work just as well on desktops. [04:44] 12.04 looks like the ubuntu I know [04:44] Boom_Farmer, ok, where is that located? in the power mode under system settings? [04:45] Rakyth: I'm sure at install windows7 must provide options in partitioning, and after they must have tools to manipulate partitions like partition magic [04:45] No, the windows 7 does not provide partitioning options. That's why I stopped and logged back into XP to ask. [04:45] Not the installer, anywho. [04:45] i think it does [04:45] I couldn't find it in any of the menus I explored [04:46] It offers an option to format a drive [04:46] dhruvasagar: Ubuntu 12.4 looks like it geting back some stuff [04:46] xsinick: really ? that sounds good [04:46] GhostWolf: Maybe? I'm not sure where it is in Ubuntu. I generally run 'powertop' from the command line and use its settings stuff. [04:46] Rakyth: well that would be a question to ask in #windows I would think they would have a better handle on partitioning in that system [04:46] i've had windows before linux and that's what i used [04:46] Boom_Farmer, ok [04:47] the options to hide that ugly unity side bar is Awsome! [04:47] xsinick: although the new 'alt+tab' system really irritates me a lot :(, do you think we could go back to how it was ? [04:47] evening all [04:47] Rakyth: type "partitions" into the searchbox of the Start button [04:47] how is this comand aplay %s or %s aplay [04:47] the order [04:47] anyone have any experience with building a beowulf cluster? [04:47] dhruvasagar: alt+tab system ... mmmm [04:48] With how often you guys get problems with people trying to keep both installs, I thought you'd have more experience. Sorry. I'll install 7 and see if it can partition its c:/ drive [04:48] xsinick: yea alt+tab now displays applications across all workspaces and switches workspaces etc, it's quite annoying and often very wrong [04:48] the old way for switching windows with alt+tab and compiz was mad cool [04:48] Cya [04:48] Thanks for the help [04:48] nilsonmorales: what is 'aplay'? what is '%s'? think about it, then answer your own question [04:49] I understand the new unity move and leaving gnome [04:49] xsinick: I keep multiple browser windows on different workspaces for different sort of browsing, but when I switch to a workspace for another app and then do alt+tab for the browser, I switch to the browser on that workspace instead of the one I came from, that is annoying [04:49] inside the pidgin preferences [04:49] this comand is used for the sounds [04:49] Can anyone help me set up a tftp server? [04:49] but i dont remember the order [04:50] dcplaya, maybe, depending on your needs [04:50] dhruvasagar: I think you can set keyboard shortcuts in Ubuntu sice way back [04:50] %s aplay or aplay %s [04:50] but [04:50] xsinick: keyboard shortcuts we can, but how will that solve my problem [04:50] rather the default actions be correct [04:50] hopstafarian I am just trying to get PXE booting working. I can do everything else but I cant get a tftp server running [04:51] dcplaya, why tftp?...limited system ersources? [04:51] nilsonmorales: hint: one is a command, the other is a variable for the argument the command takes.. do you get it now? [04:51] dcplaya, have almost no experience with PXE... [04:51] ok tnx bro [04:51] hopstafarian PXE doesnt support anything else but tftp to boot the pxelinux.0 file (maybe im mistaken though) [04:52] dcplaya, think i mighta spoke too soon...(see above re PXE experience) [04:53] does anyone here know how i can enable laptop mode in 11.10? and not through terminal either [04:53] dcplaya: what site did you use as a reference to setup PXE? [04:53] no sound when locking screen [04:53] I just think ubuntu dev are making a right move by brings things back to ubuntu we had before [04:54] I have been using a few different sites just to get TFTP booting. sacarlson my router points to my server (dd-wrt) but tftp isnt working to start the actual boot process [04:55] ive tried tftpd-hpa and it always gives me a time out error [04:55] dcplaya, googling it, it looks like maybe vsftpd is also possible with pxe? [04:56] !precise [04:56] 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 [04:56] dcplaya, @ least in centos....http://nixcraft.com/file-servers/14803-how-centos-5-pxe-linux-installation-server.html [04:56] is there some open source for ubuntu like gomeeting === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [04:57] dcplaya: dcplaya: if I recall you need to setup what IP you allow into tftp so I guess we will need to see your configs you now have setup [04:58] Right now its all been removed (--purge). Trying to get to a clean slate to try it again [04:59] but something simialr to whats listed http://maddhat.com/tag/tftpd-hpa [04:59] is there some open source for ubuntu like gomeeting [04:59] Hi there all I have a problem with Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop wired network connection, you see when I unplug the cable and then put my laptop to sleep and then later wake it up again and then bring my laptop back out again and plug the LAN cable back in in wont connect, it just endlessly tries but never connects. And I have to restart the hole computer to get it to connect [05:00] dcplaya, sure that you've checked this out, but maybe this is helpful? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer [05:00] I was thinking of just restarting the network manager and any associated network daemons but should I really have to be doing that? [05:00] dcplaya, doesn't start by default, and has a ipv6 vs ipv4 listening issue, at least in 10.04 [05:01] does anyone know how to enable laptop mode in 11.10 without doing it in terminal? [05:01] hopstafarian thats basically waht I am following right now [05:02] GhostWolf, crontab -e and @restart line? [05:03] hopstafarian, i don't want a command line to type in terminal. [05:03] GhostWolf, you want it to start in laptop mode by default? [05:03] hopstafarian, i want to enable laptop mode so i can enable power saving mode [05:04] GhostWolf, so yes, by default, or just whenever, but through gui? [05:05] hopstafarian, yes by defualt so when there is no activity by me for like 5 mins my monitor just shuts down and i can turn it back on with my mouse. and yes through gui. [05:07] GhostWolf: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=940612 [05:09] Silver`, im using 11.10 and plus i don't want to download a package. if i can't do it other any way then fine but i don't want to download something that i was able to do in previous versions [05:09] GhostWolf, when i upgraded to 11.10, my backlit kb ceased to light up...i was able fire it up w/ a cli string, but obviously not preferable...the solution was to "crontab -e" (as root), and then add a line that read "@restart ...now it works the backlit keyboard works all the time, even prior to gui login...this is what you're looking for, w/ = the laptop-mode command string...once entered, boot into that by default? [05:10] um hopstafarian by reading that, all that sounds like i need to type commands via terminal. again i don't want to do that as i stated [05:10] he doesn't want to use commands lol [05:11] Silver`: I'm still backing up my stuff >_>. [05:11] GhostWolf, you type it once into the crontab (scheduler) file, and then it does it as part of the bootup evertime...never have to type it agin...that's why i asked if it was by default or 'on demand'? [05:11] jmccullough: good job :) [05:12] Silver`: I found a forum post on converting the disk from dynamic to basic, but there is a chance of data loss. [05:12] hopstafarian, i don't boot my pc up everytime i need to use it. [05:13] GhostWolf, i'm sorry man...i guess i don't unnerstan the ? [05:13] GhostWolf, i apologize [05:13] hopstafarian, you do know what power saving mode is? [05:13] there's always a chance... Try this : http://www.dynamic-disk-converter.com/ [05:14] Silver`, you think its funny that i don't want to type commands all the time in terminal? [05:15] GhostWolf: it's just that it's linux and.. well... You only need to do it once, not every time, and it will make it run every time. [05:15] i think its funny [05:15] GhostWolf, so, if you WERE to type it into the command line (which i heard that you don't want to do)...how would you chuck that wood, if you could? [05:15] Silver`, well i don't like doing it. i rather do things in gui [05:15] hopstafarian, what? [05:15] lol hopstafarian [05:15] i guess using linux and wishing to use only GUI is like going to the doctor and wishing to keep clothes on [05:16] what is the command line that you're trying to avoid typing? [05:16] there is no sound after screen locked. how can I fix this? [05:16] commandphobia:D [05:16] hopstafarian, and yes i know its linux. but if i was going to do things via command line i'd would choose something other than ubuntu as the linux distro [05:17] maybe hopstafarian can tunr the command into a GUI [05:17] hopstafarian, its not a command line i am talking about.. im trying to enable power saving mode, someone else said to enable laptop mode, and all searches and even the guy who mentioned it says he only does it via command [05:17] hopstafarian: He wants to permanently enable laptop mode so he can safe power all the time on his desktop [05:17] save* [05:17] but if you guys think this is funny someone doesn't want to use terminal on every single thing then you guys surely are not helpful.. === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [05:20] GhostWolf: just install this package laptop-mode-tools if ur on 10.04+ [05:20] GhostWolf, you can install laptop-mode-tools through synaptic or that Ubuntu Software Center [05:21] GhostWolf: then check if it is turned on with: cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode [05:21] nevermind as you guys didn't listen i don't want to install anything if it can't be done cause of the this new crap they got then forget it. bye you guys aren't really helpful. [05:21] i still think it's funny :) [05:21] lol [05:21] Well that was really rude [05:22] It's not too hard to open a term and sudo apt-get install a package [05:22] GhostWolf, can't speak for anyone but me, but don't think it's funny, and there's a reason that gui exist, and is good for a lot of things....but i don't know the gui fix, but i might have a handle on a fix outside the gui, that once it's fixed...but have to know what command line you wanted to execute...it sounded like you knew and if not hey...i don't either, that's what i'm trying to figure out...is it laptop-mode, etc.? [05:22] hopstafarian, he already left and had a hissy fit [05:22] i guess he'd be more satisfied with the answer "it's not possible" [05:23] i dont get why you dont want to install a package that is what 1mb in size -.- [05:23] Setting up laptop-mode-tools (1.60-1ubuntu1) ... [05:23] * Enabling laptop mode... [ OK ] [05:23] that was it ! [05:24] lol [05:24] he must've had a hard time dealing with his computer and the electricity bill.. poor guy. [05:24] why do people come ask for help, then the answer they get and help they get they dont like it and leave [05:24] rattatoue, thanks...i didn't know if i was being obtuse or not....?...personally don't come here to aggravate or eff w/ others...plenty of opportunity to do that in real-life(aka land of not having to type).. [05:24] yep [05:24] silver: no I think Ghostwolf: want's the video like on youtube that shows him in realtime how it's done in graphics mode. so when he's got it figured out I hope he makes one. [05:24] hopstafarian, no you were being helpful, he apparently just wanted a go here press this button bam fix to his problem instead of actually doing work [05:25] Does anyone here run a session with just compiz and no desktop? How do you start it? [05:25] i still think it was funny:))) [05:25] Silver`, it made me laugh thats for sure [05:25] lol Silver` [05:25] i can't stop now lol [05:26] rattatoue, well..you know..i unnerstand the frustration...some i am on the wrong side of the ballmer peak, and just wanna check a box and be done...

[05:28] Silver`, sure [05:28] hopstafarian: i have no clue [05:28] faissal, (and thanks for getting the wouldchuck joke..) [05:28] Boom_Farmer, any reason you want to run compiz without a desktop?

[05:37] My router already says its operating @ 150mbps (N-Only, 40MHz channel, etc), but connection manager (and ifconfig, iwconfig, etc) says Bit-Rate is 78 Mb/s [05:37] MestreLion: It depends on how close you are to the router. [05:37] why is microsoft really pushing the fact windows 8 will run on ARM? [05:37] Poor signal can prevent high speeds. [05:38] MestreLion, how far are you from the router? [05:38] Boom_Farmer: lets than 1 meter... [05:38] drounse, stay on topic please [05:38] im configuring the router right now, both netbook and router are in my table [05:38] MestreLion, walls? metal objects? em sources?,etc? === jh_ is now known as Guest21697 [05:38] no, they are side by side, on top op my table [05:38] Any other wireless networks on the same channel? [05:39] bazhang where do you suppose i take this qusetion? other than a microsoft room cuz they will make a big deal that im asking [05:39] not that I know of, Boom_Farmer... i've set channel to auto, so router picks the best channel [05:39] drounse, no idea. this is ubuntu support only. chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:40] I don't know if 10.04 (using ath9k driver) or my netbook is capable of 150 [05:41] MestreLion, some w/l cards are better than others, both inherently, and w/combination with of os, 'driver setup' you've consistently gotten good reception on the laptop in other environs (soft and hard?) [05:42] MestreLion, sorry, didn't mean for that to sound like innuendo) [05:42] hopstafarian: reception is fine... i mean, router and netbook are like less than 1 meter one fro the other, both on top of table... connection manager says strengh varies from 92% to 100% [05:43] hmm... i might, not know then,..sorry... [05:44] would connection manager show 150 MB/s ? [05:44] is there any test I can do to see if the driver or adapter is capable of 150 ? [05:47] if just had crappy w/l reception, spanning a couple of os' on the same machine and sometimes would drop even though router was good and only slight farther away at 2 or maybe 2 1/4 meters away..) i would first check the accuracy of the router reporting (firmware maybe?) of the connection manager at the laptop...sorry man, don't know how to do that either...sooooo....sorry for taking up the screen space i guess..? [05:48] * hopstafarian scratches head, wonders what just happened in his own mind, and where that falls on the ballmer peak... [05:48] * hopstafarian shrugs [05:49] take as much screen space as you need hopstafarian , any help is welcome :D [05:49] MestreLion, thanks...so i guess the question was...the router is the new component, yes? [05:50] MestreLion: you might see type of wifi conection with sudo iwconfig [05:50] old router, new firmware (dd-wrt)... but i've never actually care about what connection manager said before... [05:50] this time, since i have a much more powerful router firmware, i want to do things "right" [05:51] A couple nights ago my connection manager wasn't working. I thought "hey, I'll uninstall it and reinstall it again and see if it works" [05:51] TURNS OUT [05:51] I've never noticed what speed connection manager reported before (with older, stock router firmware) [05:51] If you delete network manager, you can't apt-get :P [05:52] MestreLion, new firmware on the router, or the bios? [05:52] router [05:52] jmccullough, yes you can, if you hack your wired ethernet's ip in /etc/network/interfaces [05:52] from stock (and dull) dlink firmware to the amazing (and GLP'd) dd-wrt [05:53] MestreLion, k, so what was the average w/l output of the router before the upgrade? [05:53] damo22: Well damn, that would've saved me a lot of heartache. [05:53] hi there [05:53] damo22: Thanks for the info! [05:53] Sup Dj :P [05:54] is there any way i could provide password in cron job [05:54] i don't know hopstafarian ... I've never did any D/L test before... [05:54] does anyone know what would prevent a mobo from booting? ive enabled usb booting and it detects the flash drive and i get a "Boot Error" every time i try to boot [05:54] hi, wireless network is not working in ubuntu 11.10 [05:54] unalbe to enable the bluetooth device [05:54] Django_Novice, you can set the cron job as the root user then you dont need a password because the process runs as root [05:54] damo22: I cant set it as root user [05:55] MestreLion, so using metrics is out of the question... [05:55] hopstafarian: I just wanted to know if ath9k is capable of 150 Mb/s speed, and if Connection Manager would report that [05:55] drounse, was the ISO md5sumed, and how did you load the usb, and is it a flash? [05:56] urfr332gO yes, unetbootin and startup disk creator, and yes [05:56] damo22: its giving me this error: no tty no askpass program specified [05:56] hopstafarian: I can use any test/metrics you suggest (not sure how would I test the actual throutput speed.. maybe dragging a 1GB file from the other PC?) [05:57] Django_Novice: AFAIK, cron jobs already run as root by default [05:57] drounse, do you know the boot from menu prompt at powering on some are f12? [05:57] drounse : where did you choose boot from usb? bios or flash? [05:57] buenas [05:57] MestreLion: so I dnt need to use sudo in cron job ???? [05:58] urfr332gO yes, my computer its f10 but ive done that, and i have made it auto boot to usb instead of hdd [05:58] Django_Novice, don't know, but can run root cron jobs ,or (sudo 'anyuseryouputinthesudoersfileasnotpromptingforpassword'(automatic) tasks..if the only reason is that hitches up on the password...i don't know if this is or isn't a security best practices or not...someone better versed than i will have to speak to that issue.. [05:58] Silver`: I found an old wubi installation on my C drive... [05:59] Silver`: >_> >_> >_> [05:59] drounse : try to change the boot order from inside bios [05:59] drounse, have you reformatted the usb each time you reloaded? [05:59] nope Django_Novice [05:59] urfr332gO yes, ive tried FAT and ext4, novatax yes [06:00] alguien habla castellano? [06:00] Abrigador: serve portugues? :P [06:00] Django_Novice: but you do need sudo to ADD (or delete, edit, etc) cron jobs [06:01] but once they are set up, they already run as root [06:01] urfr332gO i think it is hardware related but i cant figure out whats wrong, ive taken it apart and rebuilt it three times [06:01] drounse, fat should work, starnge it doesn't I would try another download, even if the md5sum is correct I have had ISO that would not work. [06:01] I seee on page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From_8.04_LTS_to_10.04_LTS the following worrisome note: "Renewing the Installation without formating the partitons (in contrast to upgrading), will also keep the personal data and configurations under /home but will renew all system settings under /etc as well as the default set of installed packages." [06:01] so, is anyone here still using 10.04 netbook on a wi-fi connection? [06:01] urfr332gO its every distro though, ive tried ubuntu server, 11.10, 10.10 ,fedora and freedos, nothing boots === tommyvyo_ is now known as tommyvyo [06:02] worrisome because planning on moving from 8.04 LTS to 10.10 LTS [06:03] anyone here thinking of preordering a 'cotton candy'. or got in on a raspberry pi before they sold? [06:03] drounse: how "modern" is the mobo? older mobos are a real pain to boot from USB.. some don't at all [06:03] hopstafarian, was tempted [06:03] drounse, strange. [06:03] * hopstafarian thinks that a show of hands would suffice [06:04] MestreLion umm not super old its got a celeron d, ive booted a usb before, like 3 weeks ago, then something happened and now it wont boot [06:04] Hello, Can anyone help me. I am trying to mount an ISO but i keep getting errors, Its for a game and i need to insert the second disk, which is a iso [06:04] urfr332gO, yea and i cant boot freedos to update the bios [06:04] Ive treid gui programs and consle [06:04] drounse, you need to read the manual for your mainboard [06:05] drounse: have you tried booting a windows ISO ? there a free, MS-endorsed app that does it (convert from ISO to USB). This way you could at least isolate the issue (if its Linux or hardware related) [06:05] Also, Even though i unmounted the ISO i can still see it in my sidebar explorere thing, andi cant move it to file system [06:05] drounse: or try pulling cmos battery for 30 minutes and power off, then put back in and it will reset to defaults [06:06] damo22 no, ive never had trouble before with it, i used this mobo for the last couple of months, ive pulled the cmos baattery for a couple seconds but ill try that now [06:06] damo22, specially the usb enabled pi...i have a use for that, in that at work, i wanna add a big screen, without paying for it to be smart (aka, more feature than i want to pay for this application, but if i can make it so 35 and it capability for expansion will far supercede either devices lifetime, i'm thinking thats a smart purchase? [06:07] MestreLion: u need root previlges to run command in cron job [06:08] drounse: pwer off pull out power plug, pull out cmos battery, turn on with no power cable attached to clear all power from capacitors [06:08] okay... I just updated my package list in aptitude, and now a whole bunch of things are showing up twice. [06:08] its not working without sudo either [06:08] damo22 ok i just did [06:08] any idea what might be causing this? [06:08] damo22, somethimes there a jumper pin to switch over/take off during that thirty secs depending on how deep of a reset... [06:09] true [06:09] no Django_Novice, you need root privileges to edit cron job setings (add or remove jobs).. but cron (and its jobs) already run as root [06:09] ok jumper pin is off [06:09] drounse, some mobos have cmos jumper with 3 pins and require you to short the other two [06:10] damo22 it has three pins, i just took the jumper off [06:10] drounse, you need to put it in the other position [06:10] drounse, then wait a few secs and put it back [06:11] drounse: damo22 is this #ubuntu or ##hardware channel? PM maybe? [06:11] damo22 ok i did that [06:11] MestreLion: no it doesnt need to as Im running cron job without root previlges [06:11] how to create folder ubuntu 11.04? any one help [06:12] chiyan: from terminal? "mkdir foo" [06:12] chiyan, right click-ctreate new folder [06:12] drounse, see pm [06:12] damo22, i kinda miss the dipswitch...(though i still get to use them at work...)...i get that jumpers are more versatile...(aka 3pins, and the ability to short 2 out)..but sometimes cases are not well designed, and really hard to get to /not drop ]\fuss with excessivily...if you could combine the versatility of a jumper with the only-tool-i-need-is-a-ballpoint-ease of a dip, you might have something.. [06:13] i wonder how are you doing that Django_Novice , since the cron service runs as root [06:13] i have an usb EVDO internet device. i want to force it to use CDMA instead of EVDO Rev A. does anyone know the way to do it? [06:14] I run it as other user account... and it works fine unless i need to run commands that need root previlige [06:15] Django_Novice, what command are you trying to schedule? [06:18] also, how are you scheduling? [06:19] hi [06:19] any body here? [06:20] Hello people, I am currently in a bit of a pickle. I had Ubuntu 11.10 installed via wubi, but I have been using Windows for the last month, and I seem to have forgotten my password now! Anybody have any idea how I could reset the whole of Ubuntu, since I haven't even really used it, I just installed it, that's why I forgot the password haha [06:20] morning all [06:21] 14:20 here... [06:21] Somefellow, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1041232 [06:21] okay. I recently updated my package list in aptitude. Now, a bunch of packages show up twice, once installed, once uninstalled (or both uninstalled if I don't have it installed). Any idea how to fix this, and ideally, how could it have happened to begin with? [06:21] urfr332gO: I'll have a read of that, thanks. [06:22] MestreLion: 06 11 * * * (cd /home/healthpark && ./runserver.sh) [06:22] bey [06:23] I have one question I have site name www.domain.com but now i want to access this website like sk.domain.com what i can do ?

[06:23] Django_Novice: and how are you schediling it? [06:24] Somefellow, the last post has a link to the psychocats website a better explanation maybe.

[06:25] jmccullough: cool [06:25] sacarlson: I had to run through a series of steps and ultimately delete the volues associated with my 1TB HD === _20 is now known as paypal [06:25] urfr332gO: Alright, this looks simple enough, I'll be back in a few minutes to let you know the result. [06:25] sacarlson: The main factor was that they were not a "Basic" disk [06:25] sacarlson: no... it's not that. upon further inspection, I found it may be a result of /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch containing "foreign-architecture i386" ... can I safely get rid of this and delete the i386 package lists? [06:25] harsh343: that would depend on who you have setup as your dns server and if you have a static world ip address [06:25] sacarlson: They were "dynamic", which means they were treated as RAID which is apparently a no-no [06:25] how do i turn off compositing in unity without logging out? [06:26] scientes, ccsm [06:26] sacarlson, how can we do that [06:26] maybe that's not it. but it just seems odd that this would only happen now if that's been there since January [06:27] harsh343: what is your present dns server? option is no-ip.com [06:27] urfr332gO, thx [06:27] scientes, no problem. :) [06:27] harsh343: many others, or is it just a local lan setup no need for world access? [06:27] Anyone able to help troubleshoot an Intel H61 no audio over hdmi issue? [06:28] I purchase a domain name from jokers.com for example www.hello.com but now i want one more url like sk.hello.com [06:29] harsh343, not really a ubuntu support issue. [06:29] harsh343: well maybe joker.com is your dns server? [06:29] sacarlson, ok [06:29] sacarlson, so what i can do please sugest me [06:29] hi, how to check all hardware device in ubuntu 11.10 [06:30] urfr332gO, yup [06:30] ok [06:30] urfr332gO, i've always turned off compisiting by running metacity, which selection in compiz? [06:30] harsh343: I'm clueless as you don't seem to know [06:30] user1, check or identify? [06:30] user1 sudo lshw [06:30] fffff, i uncheck "compisiting" and it crashes, seg fault [06:30] well, turns out that was it. can I safely get rid of "foreign-architecture i386" in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch ? [06:30] i.e. does that break anything? [06:30] scientes, composite I believe [06:30] http://imagebin.org/201649 [06:31] scientes, except that unity is a plugin in compiz. [06:31] sacarlson, ok if joker.com is my dns server than ? [06:31] harsh343: I see that joker.com provides free dns services so read on there side how to set it up, each site is different [06:32] bazhang - my bluetooth and wireless network not working in ubuntu 11.10 [06:32] ok [06:32] harsh343, do you know what website can download a full movie [06:32] yeah compiz settings manager seg faults when i try to turn off compositing [06:33] pokuy, I think those site have a huge server [06:33] anyone know of a good, lightweight webkit browser to use as a fullscreen kiosk? [06:33] besides chrome/chromium [06:33] urfr332gO: Thanks it worked! Now the annoying bit will be moving all the programs from Windows to Ubuntu... [06:33] * Somefellow sighs... [06:33] scientes, I was not sure about the affect thats [06:33] harsh343, ok thanks man [06:33] sacarlson, is it Dynamic DNS (DynDNS)? ?? [06:33] for sure [06:34] Django_Novice, also , if you add the line ALL=NOPASSWD:[TAB] ALL into your /etc/sudoers file, in will let you run cron jobs that normally start with 'sudo' and wait for a password...but like, i say i'm no expert, and am not sure if that's a gaping security vulnerability or not.. [06:34] Somefellow, you can move the wubi to a partition, you will ahve to to remopve windows. [06:34] have/remove [06:34] harsh343: are you running your server from home on an adsl line? if so then yes it would require dynamic dns [06:34] No I mean setting up all the programs I usually use on Ubuntu [06:35] My wireless randomly stopped working in 11.10. It still shows the networks, but it never succesfully connects. I've also tried resetting my router many times. My wireless card is RTL8192SE. How could I troubleshoot this? [06:35] http://imagebin.org/201649 [06:36] Somefellow, you might find open source equivalents [06:36] danpsy: are the networks you attempt to connect encrypted? [06:36] I may, but configuing will be annoying as well [06:37] Somefellow, better then trying to run wine from what I have seen, never used it, I just have a windows install for word [06:37] True [06:37] I'm reading about upgrades on the wiki, and it suggest that all your system settings shall be wiped out. Is this correct, or am I reading it poorly? Paragraph 2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes#From_8.04_LTS_to_10.04_LTS [06:38] Django_Novice, note: [TAB] is meant to represent the actual 'tab' key, and shouldn't be carried...be VERY careful with the /etc/sudoers file...type slow, and double check your work..it's very easy to create a significant bump in the road for yourself with this one..better safe than sorry... [06:38] sacarlson, I am running my website through internet [06:38] sacarlson: My wireless network requires a password (WPA), but I'm still prompted to enter my password [06:39] danpsy: so maybe the problem is the encryption, do you have an option to temp disable your access point encryption and see if it works then? [06:39] harsh343: through the internet but how do you connect to the intenet? adsl? static ip? [06:40] sacarlson: Thanks! I actually reset my password and it's working now. [06:40] hi I would like to set start position of each new window, how can I do that? [06:40] danpsy: very good [06:40] http://imagebin.org/201649 [06:40] sacarlson, I think we move from my question, My question is just how to create such domain like mail.google.com [06:41] harsh343: sites normaly reside in appache2, if route already exist [06:42] wof [06:43] sacarlson, so if i have an website www.love.com and i want one more url like sk.love.com, i purchase domain name from jokers.com [06:43] harsh343 you can own anything you want as long as you own domain.com or whatever other .xxx u know whatever i mean [06:44] harsh343: I assume you purchased *.love.com and you can setup routes on all of them to a single apache2 server that bring different virtual sites [06:44] like you want your own IRC server. you would do irc.domain.com you own domain.com and you can make it omg.domain.com anytime just gotta pont omg. to domain.com [06:45] chachin, from where i can point [06:45] ? [06:45] From where did you buy your domain? [06:45] Somefellow, joker.com === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [06:46] harsh343: Are you asking how to point something.yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com? [06:46] go look for web-hosting [06:46] Canadian1296 yes he is [06:46] Canadian1296, yes [06:46] harsh343: the routes are setup at the dns .. that points to each or one virtual apache2 server [06:46] chachin harsh343: k I just joined. [06:47] hello. Just finished reading http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/939 -> Introducing the HUD. Say hello to the future of the menu.Any opinions? Or whereelse is there a dedicated channel for OPinions and dev on HUD [06:47] Canadian1296, but i want o use both something.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com [06:47] to* [06:47] i wonder if i post my IRC server FloodBot1 or 2 or 3 would kick me for that :s [06:47] exit [06:48] lol wtf was that just now [06:48] he said exit and quit xD [06:48] harsh343: You need to find set up your dns server to point both to your ip address. Then set up virtualhosts in apache. Just ask if you need help with any of that :) [06:48] he needs web-hosting [06:49] chachin: Ah I see. [06:49] Canadian1296, ok i am trying to do that,thanks [06:49] harsh343: Do you have your own server at home? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:50] Canadian1296, I purchase domain from joker.com [06:51] harsh343: Ill take that as a no. You need a domain name (you already got this), and a hosting plan (you need this). The hosting plan lets you upload your site so people can go to it. [06:52] joker.com sounds like: "thanks for your money: WHY SO SERIOUS" [06:52] http://imagebin.org/201649 [06:52] anyone completely removed os x and installed only ubuntu on a mac? any noticed ubuntu using more cpu % [06:52] Canadian1296, i have both [06:52] right now my website is running [06:52] lexample love.com is running [06:52] now i want to use sk.love.com also [06:52] irc.silentzombies.com +6697 6667 #SilentZombies-Help [06:52] woops [06:53] why no one is replying to me??? [06:53] rather sleepy here cu l8r [06:53] i remember when this channel once had 5000+ users [06:53] shivam7074, sorry, what was the question? [06:54] harsh343: Okay, what domain did you buy? [06:54] http://imagebin.org/201649 [06:54] Canadian1296, its private but for xample www.harshutech.com [06:54] shivam7074, whats the issue [06:55] http://imagebin.org/201649 [06:55] now i want to acces like sk.harshutech.com [06:55] shivam7074, some context please? [06:55] Canadian1296, I know that we need domain+hosting both and i have both [06:56] when i play songs in bansee it hangs n not play [06:56] shivam7074, my dumb ass is still lost...in this case i think maybe a word is worth a thousand pictures? [06:56] shivam7074, and in other music players too? [06:56] shivam7074, it stopped working, or newly installed and never worked? [06:56] harsh343: for me that site resloves to ;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) [06:57] sometimes work sorry got to go later i cu thanx [06:57] why nobody join my irc :( [06:58] harsh343: Then PM me the name so I can look. What is the registrar and host? [06:58] chachin: I will if you tell me what it is :) [06:58] is there anyway to fake navigator.platform? [06:58] Canadian1296, ok see this is my website http://www.appsmyth.com/ and i want to access like this http://sk.appsmyth.com/ [06:58] harsh343: maybe before you try to setup two sites you should try to get one to work [06:58] irc.silentzombies.com +6697 6667 #SilentZombies-Help [06:59] chachin, dont advertise here, thanks [06:59] nou [06:59] chachin, pardon? [06:59] lol [06:59] bazhang u haz +o power? [06:59] else ill stop :S [07:00] zomg a wild paypal has appeard [07:00] !ot > chachin [07:00] chachin, please see my private message [07:00] paypal you cannot haz my monies [07:00] chachin, thats enough [07:00] huh [07:00] wow [07:01] how can i find out where my iso is mounted? [07:01] I see it in explorer [07:01] wow? [07:01] which app should I use to take a iso/wav/cue disc image and create a single iso [07:02] harsh343: ok that is resolveing to 174.36.159.40 but only www.appsmyth.com resolves to that address so you will need to look at your dns at joker.com [07:03] Also, when i try and mount it via some GUI app it says file is not an iso [07:03] harsh343: AFTER you can resolve *.appsmyth.com to that same address you can look at #appache2 to see how to setup more virtual servers [07:03] and when i check props of iso it says raw img. Thats a iso amirite? [07:04] hello.. my graphic driver is activated but still on 2 D view [07:04] harsh343 sacarlson: chances are you transferred to domain to the host, so go your hosts admin page and look for "subdomains" [07:04] aithox, did you reboot and choose the 3d at login? [07:04] yeah.. [07:06] Canadian1296, sacarlson t #appache2 to see how to setup more virtual servers or "subdomains" ???????????? [07:06] when i run Nvidia sever setting it say " you do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver.. please run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root.. but i won't get the GUI login after doing this... [07:07] harsh343: each subdomain can be setup to point to a different virtual server in apache2 [07:07] harsh343: but only AFTER you have a route to them [07:07] from where i got virtual server in apache2 ???????? [07:08] sacarlson: He isn't on his own server, he's using a hosting plan. Therefore he cannot access apache config [07:09] Canadian1296: oh then why is harsh343 here? he never provided that info or I misted it [07:10] Can anyone tell me how i can move 2 7gig iso files to my windows partition>? [07:10] can move it to ext usb to big [07:10] cant* [07:10] samba [07:10] :P [07:10] moonunitzappa, 27 or 2.7 gig? [07:11] moonunitzappa: drag and drop? if both partitions are mounted [07:11] 14 gig totoal [07:11] split in 2 [07:11] aithox: which nvidia card? [07:11] it failed drag and drop [07:11] said it was to large [07:11] forget what its formatted as [07:12] geforce GT 520M [07:12] sacarlson, what i can do then ? [07:12] works with my xbox and widnwos [07:12] sacarlson: Yeah, he thinks he can use apache but he cant, that's why you missed it. He wants a subdomain for his domain, but that has to be done with the host. I don't even know what hosting plan he used cause he hasn't told me (I've asked) [07:12] sorry man ill stop and idle for my own help :s was just saying if you did have powers i was going to stop. anyways im sorry if i made any troubles :( [07:12] how would i change terminals in xubuntu, i prefer gnome-terminal, but i cannot use it other than typing gnome-terminal into the xfce terminal [07:12] moonunitzappa: oh in windows there are file size limits so not sure what you can do there [07:12] its the filetype that has the limit [07:12] i just forget what the universial one is that doesnt hve a limit, that i can use on ubuntu and windows [07:13] i dont even wantto use windwos, but i cant seemto mount this ISO corectly [07:13] moonunitzappa, ntfs [07:13] moonunitzappa: on windows ntfs shouldn't have file size limits that small but fat file system does [07:14] sacarlson, please give me suggestion [07:14] harsh343: I was told your not running a ubuntu server so what can I do? [07:14] For some reason /home is opening in thunar at login (running xubuntu). What can I do to fix this? [07:15] harsh343: http://thinkingnectar.com/2008/getting-ubuntu-to-work-creating-subdomain-in-localhost/ === companion is now known as Companion [07:16] How can i add a new partion to my external usb drive? [07:16] Hello. Does anyone have any idea why isn't my phpMyAdmin working? just installed apache, php and sql [07:16] without earasing it [07:17] moonunitzappa: why not skip the usb and copy it direct to windows? [07:17] harsh343: What hosting plan did you get? [07:17] moonunitzappa: try a soft called gparted [07:17] good idea [07:18] moonunitzappa: infernal: I concure [07:19] Any ideas on the phpMyAdmin? === hume is now known as jero [07:19] infernal: not working by trying to goto http:localhost/phpmyadmin ? === jero is now known as jhume [07:19] opps [07:19] yes, basicly everything is freshly installed and it just wont respond [07:19] http://localhost/phpmyadmin [07:19] Canadian1296: ya that one [07:20] infernal: Restart everything (service name restart) [07:20] can i get to my windwos trash and empty it from ubuntu? [07:20] well this is embarasing [07:21] * hopstafarian thinks that gparted is the grep of storage management..rock*on...lambert and queen...? guessing that either kinda cool, or one of the hugest disappointments ever...reading the news today, and thinking that we should just all agree to remove the word 'gunman' from our autocorrect dictionaries...?...why is that even in there in the first place!? [07:21] infernal: why did that work? [07:21] infernal: What is? :P [07:21] question: I have 2 wi-fi APs at home, bedroom and living room. They are set with same SSID, same password, but different channels. there is a little overlap is coverage. Is there anyway for Ubuntu NOT to drop the connection and switch from one AP to another seamlessly? [07:22] well ye, i tough it was case insesitive :) i used to type phpMyAdmin from my windows machine on xamp [07:22] infernal: I guess you could make it so both worked but save that for another day [07:23] infernal: apache can be configured to be case-insensitive for URLs [07:23] infernal: Haha its alright, the only reason I suggested to restart everything is because that has tripped me up numerous times. We all make silly mistakes :P [07:23] Hello! I just installed Ubuntu Precise beta1 on my X220 Tablet. xinput --list lists Wacom stylus, touch and eraser, but only touch works. What could be the cause? [07:23] Muser: for 10.04, try #ubuntu+1 [07:23] 12.04* [07:23] MestreLion: ok, joining [07:24] so, guys, any tips and hints on what do I need to configure for seamless AP switching? [07:24] thanks for the tip :) [07:24] yw Muser ;) [07:26] Muser, what is X220, please... [07:26] MestreLion: You should be able to just join both, then ubuntu will pick whichever is a stronger signal. [07:26] well ye thx guys, i'm off to work ;) [07:27] Canadian1296: but will it switch from one to the other when i move across rooms? [07:27] infernal; work [*sigh]...how i envy you...can hardly wait the 3 hours before i 'get' to do that myself...njoy [07:27] MestreLion: No, why would you need it to? [07:28] ok well somehow by dragging and dropping the ISO files to my windows drive they dissaperd? [07:28] not in my trash [07:28] or in my ubuntu or iwndows fodler [07:28] MestreLion: It has no way of knowing which room you are in, since both access points are available in both rooms. [07:28] Canadian1296: because i want wireless access all over my house... i need 2 APs for that, 1 alone is not strong enough to cover all rooms [07:29] MestreLion: Them spread them out, and if it loses signal from one it'll connect to the other :) [07:29] no, they are not available in both rooms... although there is a little overlap mid-way [07:30] Canadian1296, should switch [relatively] seamlessly though....maybe the problem is at the receiving end? [07:30] MestreLion: Well then if you want it seamless you need one main access point in the middle, with two extenders. Instead of two access points. [07:30] They just rebroadcast the main point so its bail able all over the house. [07:30] MestreLion: yes I think that's built into wifi that you can roam and it will auto connect to the better signal of the same named network [07:30] they are already spreaded out, one in each side of my house... but i don't want the conenction to drop (downloads are getting interrupted when it picks another AP) [07:31] adsf [07:31] sdf [07:31] sdf [07:31] sdf [07:31] ubuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:32] MestreLion: Although I must ask, how big is your house? I can connect to my AP for over a block down my street! [07:32] Canadian1296, so ap #1 is your main wireless router, and ap #2 is just a bridged mode ap with no DHCP?...thinking that the ip changeover is the holdup? [07:32] Canadian1296: not very big, but lots of rooms and walls... a single wifi router is not enough [07:33] hopstafarian: Its cause he has two different wifi networks. It has to drop one to connect to the other. You need to get one network, and then extend it, instead of making two. Seamless switching since both are the same network. [07:33] Canadian1296, agreed... [07:33] yes hopstafarian ... #1 @ living room is the main router... #2 is for bedroom, DHCP disabled, and its wired to #1... [07:34] no Canadian1296... iwant it to be the same wifi network... router #2 is set to "AP mode"... [07:34] MestreLion, with two separate AP's you'll be disconnected from one while the other connects regardless. [07:35] MestreLion, so if dhcp switchover is not the issue then you're sure they're on the same scheme and subnet? [07:35] MestreLion: The second one should be set to "extend existing network" [07:36] the second one is *wired* to the 1st... with all router functions disabled... just being used as a hub.. and also for extended wireless coverage [07:37] you will still end up disconnecting and reconnecting during the changeover from one AP to the next [07:37] kinda like this: ((( #1 ============ #2 ))) [07:38] wylde: is there any way to set #2 so they act as a single network? [07:38] wylde, agreed, do this all the time, and never have a holdup, even with channel switching...the only time it has been a problem is when i pass through a dropoff in the signal overlap...strong signal in wl networking is what my dad always told me about pilots...fuel = brains... [07:38] hmm, #ubuntu+1 seems to be about dead :( [07:38] MestreLion, I would think you need an extender and not a second AP [07:39] ^^ [07:39] hopstafarian: whoops, X220 == ThinkPad X220 [07:39] As soon as you disconnect from one ap your wifi card has to start the whole connection process over again, even if only one AP is acting as dhscp [07:39] but extenders communicate via wireless correct? i think this would be a huge performance hit. [07:39] dhcp* [07:40] both #1 and #2 are cheap DLink home routers [07:40] MestreLion, only way I can think of for you to get the behaviour you want [07:40] MestreLion: yes wired between nodes is better [07:41] MestreLion, yes wired is always better :) [07:41] no way to make the routers communicate using the existing wired connection between the 2? [07:41] MestreLion: wylde: as long as he puts the same id name in each it will just be an extended network [07:41] No it won't [07:41] Muser, oh..thought that maybe that was a tablet or "tablet"...ibm makes a good machine, though "really, still with the pencil eraser instead of a mouse!!" ..other than a lack of aesthetics, pretty much my onlly complaint...still, i love my sony VAIO... [07:42] sacarlson, yes but he has to restrt the entire connection process to switch AP's [07:42] They're on different channels [07:42] wylde: not it will auto roam and switch when needed [07:42] wylde: unless you custom setup to attache to the mac address a a wanted node [07:43] hopstafarian: yep, ThinkPads are about the nicest machines I have ever owned. + now with new kernel I get just a bit shittier battery life than I would with Windows (it used to be 50% reduction or so just a few years ago) [07:43] it is swiching already... automatically... but existing connections are dropped [07:43] sacarlson, yes it will, however you still get disconnected from one network while you switch to the other [07:43] wow, whole lotta networking competents up in here...liking it...so anyone here experienced with BeoWulf Clusters? [07:43] you have at least a few seconds of no network connection while you connect to the second AP [07:43] wylde: sure but invislbe for the most part on the client side [07:44] wylde: its less than seconds actually... but it's enough for my downloads to interrup and i need to resume them [07:44] sacarlson, if you are downloading or streaming it will drop that connection === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [07:45] wylde: well if your streaming maybe you won't be carrying your computer from upstairs to down to make it reconect [07:45] MestreLion, exactly. So that's why you need to extend your primary wifi network rather than use 2 separate APs [07:45] since there is some overlapping in coverage while im mid-way, the "recconection" is almost instaly... [07:45] sacarlson, that seems to be exatly what MestreLion is wanting to do [07:46] MestreLion, oh crap, if the switchover is that quick and its just the browser that is hitching th dls...that eff it, and jsut get proficient at wget on the cli? [07:46] yes... sometimes i need to move from bedroom to dining room... I dont want my downloads to get interrupted [07:46] or skype calls, etc [07:46] MestreLion: Then you need a more powerful AP that covers your whole house [07:47] MestreLion, wget is pretty robust when it comes to resuming a dl? [07:47] MestreLion, no matter what you will have that happen using separate APs. I'm sure if you searched you might find a wired range extender [07:47] I can resume downloads, but that's not the point [07:47] MestreLion, i know, but in the meantime... [07:47] MestreLion, just saying.. [07:47] MestreLion: You either need an extender or a more powerful ap. end of story [07:48] Ok so I originally asked about a bunch of stuff regarding memory and performance... havin suffered really slow and unresponsiveness of my system even at a real mem use of only 60%. I have solved the problem with the help on thins chat. vm.swappiness = 10 [07:48] so there's no way to achieve that "semless roaming" using 2 not-so-powerful APs ? [07:48] the system is now at 80% mem and still responsive [07:48] MestreLion, I'd say no [07:48] still wakes from sleep [07:48] MestreLion: No [07:49] stephans_: you can even set it to 0 if you sure your physical RAM is enough for all your need... swap will only be used for hibernate [07:50] Canadian1296: and what exactly is an extender? [07:50] MestreLion: It simply rebroadcasts an existing network instead of making a new one [07:51] but that "rebroadcasting" communication between the 2 can't be done wired? [07:52] whats the best most secure httpd for ubuntu [07:52] ? [07:52] because from bedroom I can barely "see" the living room signal... it's very very poor [07:52] MestreLion, I've even built a "cantenna" that gave me a 35% signal gain over a store bought 7 dbm gain antenna [07:53] so I think the extender would suffer the same problem [07:53] *dB not dbm [07:53] MestreLion: I think I have seen like infrastructure mode in at least one of my access point but I never have more than one active to play with it [07:54] ?? [07:55] JermBob: Apache2 not secure enough? [07:55] yup [07:55] MestreLion, i'm no expert, but i run a relatively seamless 'roam' enterprise over a large 20K+ environs ...grocery store w/ stationary w/l scale tech, roaming rf handheld devices, various(unpredictable) mobile devices and laptops...all seems to work as close to seamlessly as possible (never had a complaint, and i'm the only one to complain to, so pretty sure that it's not happening, or i know some pretty passive aggresive individuals...) and from that exp [07:55] erience have to say this " the only fails that i've had, are when I failed to get OCD with the physical placement...)(everything else being equal, and that i didn't miss something on the software/firmware/config side of things... [07:55] just thought there may be better and smaller footprinted ones around now [07:55] apache was my choice a while ago [07:56] thanks [07:57] JermBob: try Nginx [07:59] well, thanks guys for all the help [08:01] we even run two segmented networks (public and private) off the same (wah-waaugh) copper adsl pair, and still experience relatively few bottlenecks...really the only complaints come from where i effed up on the overlap, or failed to consider a structure, device (or failed to consider the reception limitations of the types of device that are most commonly used in that area... [08:01] i'm a bit disappointed that this can't be done with 2 wired "cheapo" wifi routers, but i can live with that then... a more powerful AP would cost like 5 times as much, and would need to placed mid-way (wich would be the batherrom or the aisle, not great places for an AP to be :P [08:01] signal=fuel=brains [08:02] MestreLion, my point, was i think it can be, but you might have to reconsider placement... [08:02] ? [08:03] \/c [08:03] MestreLion, but then again, i'm considered kindof a tard by my peers..aka: people that actually know whats up... [08:06] i'm open to any suggestions hopstafarian... the scenario is: the 2 places i want coverage are like 15~20m apart, with lots of walls between. each of my current routers cover each area just fine (dinner table is 3m apart from #1, my bed is like 2m apart from #2). #1 and #2 routers are conneted to each other via lan cable (since they can't "see" each other via wireless) [08:07] Sounds like you need a better AP [08:11] MestreLion, what i usually do at this point, is build a scale model...either physically, or virtually...and i move shit around until it looks right, then i use the signal testing equip that i can get me hands on, to refine/debunk that preconception...if you have a smartphone, there are plenty of apps that will test and log your signal strength... [08:13] Canadian1296: a better AP (linksys, 2 antennas, etc) here in Brazil costs like 300, while a cheap dlink cost 70 each (and I already have 2 of them) [08:14] I've got a server down right now and am completely confused. Apache won't start and throws "Syntax error on line 204 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/fcgid.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [08:14] then map out the weak areas, and move your model around until the weak areas are either eliminated or the negative effects of those weak areas are ameliorated as much as you experience will allow....once again, kinda an idiot, probably should do the opposite of what i propose... [08:14] fcgi worked fine up until now. Just got a page in the middle of the night [08:15] can anyone tip me off on what / how to check or reinstall fcgi?

Just curious if there was anyway to delete files in /tmp that I created (thereby assuming that I would have perms to delete as well) [11:24] I can only run ccsm as root. [11:24] crooks306: have another look... [11:24] a7x, please give me some short steps [11:24] When I type "ccsm" it won't run. [11:24] Can someone tell me what is a data card?

For some reason I cannot reach it over it's hostname anymore (ssh, webserver etc.). Connecting to it's IP still works though and it seems to me that the hostname is still set correctly in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [12:26] samba35: it works on my small eeepc but I think it's too big and bloated to be used on something like a phone like adroid [12:27] what kind of hardware you have i am planning to buy a new phone for ubuntu (just planning -then review ) [12:27] eeepc ? [12:27] gnaddel: the ip addresses at /etc/hosts are only used on the client side is that were you have them set? [12:28] samba35: eeepc is just a small notebook computer [12:28] samba35: We don't have a product available for phone yet [12:28] samba35: so I wouldn't base your phone buying decision on it [12:28] ok [12:29] samba35: but android is linux and much like debian/ubuntu [12:29] sacarlson: My /etc/hosts reads: 127.0.0.1 localhost [12:29] 127.0.1.1 noname.dummy.net Zotac-box [12:29] Does anyone know if the Camarabuntu project is still alive?

It worked until today [12:30] join/ #ubuntu-fr [12:30] sacarlson: I'm not certain what the noname.dummy.net is supposed to do there though. [12:30] i have instaled ubuntu 11.10 x64 and my unity is very slow and always crash anyone knows what is happening to it? [12:30] gnaddel: then you can add that zotac-box into the /etc/hosts file of the CLIENT side to make it resolve [12:30] metaphysicist, change your passwd ASAP [12:30] itas a core i7 with 8gb ran and 1tb hd === daniel__ is now known as drchav [12:32] Gnome freezed [12:32] how to kill it?

[12:33] hobbelt: yes some [12:33] sacarlson: Basically it's just supposed to make it possible to reach the box with the hostname instead of it's current IP over LAN. [12:33] hobbelt: even if I don't other here might so just ask [12:34] sacarlson i keep getting a "multiple directory not supported" error on thisone: http://pastebin.com/cv2CHH6P it looks good to me :s [12:34] gnaddel: do you want all systems to resolve with that name? if so you would need to setup something like bind9 and edit configs to point to it [12:34] tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive, http://dpaste.com/710414/ [12:35] gnaddel: by all systems I mean all clients on that lan [12:35] sacarlson: I want all clients in the lan to be able to connect to the services on the ubuntu server via the hostname [12:36] gnaddel: ok then I suggest bind9 [12:36] Installed 12.04 beta 1 AMD64 (xubuntu). Seems entirely ready for primetime so far. [12:36] sacarlson: Ok thanks I'll look into it [12:38] sacarlson, ssorry for the delay dude.. i removed that line, i must have added it few months ago when i was installing a new program, it was manually added not automatic [12:38] Hello everybody :-) [12:38] but i still have the same problem, it hangs trying to "get" the file at 0% [12:38] then it just keeps on trying [12:39] I have ubuntu 11.10. I have two terminal windows open. When I minimize, they go in the panel. When I click on the button, it brings back one of them. Is there a way to be able to have all minimized windows appear in the panel instead of the program? [12:40] hobbelt: i don't see anything wrong off the top of my head but I've never seen those 4 top lines before [12:41] drag0nz: well it might still work depending on what you installed with debian attached, it's a roll of the dice at this point what damage it may have caused === MartinS is now known as Guest18924 [12:41] sacarlson the top 4 lines are fine, if i restart apache (/init.d) i get an error on rule 14 which is the 2nd directory statement.

[12:41] anyway, i followed anything written here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Oneiric#Wireless_.28AirPort.29 but still i can't see the my wpa2 network in the list.

[12:42] (debian wheezy) [12:43] hobbelt: I'm not sure I do have more than one directory in mine but I'm not totaly sure what file I was looking at [12:43] httpd.conf [12:43] hobbelt: oh ok I was compareing it to /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [12:43] oh wait.. [12:44] maybe phpmyadmin inserts them already [12:44] sacarlson, so its not an networking(ipv6) issue? [12:44] hobbelt: oh ya I only have a single directory in that file [12:44] hobbelt: yes I would think it does [12:44] sacarlson: if phpmyadmin inserts the same values as i do in httpd.conf -> thats an error [12:44] hey [12:45] *_* [12:45] sacarlson it does, hmmm [12:45] sacarlson, thing is, when i run apt-get update it works fine as well [12:45] hobbelt: yes I would take you customized myphpadmin out of there and maybe put it into the other file [12:46] drag0nz: yes it works fine for me I installed the file you tried to install with no problem with the small mod less that last line [12:46] sacarlson yap it works :). now lets see if its only available on my IP [12:47] drag0nz: if you start getting some total unpredictable stuf I would fully reinstall that system from scratch since no way to find all the files that debian put in [12:47] crap.. thats not cool [12:47] so far the only problem i have is what im here for [12:47] hobbelt: in phpmyadmin you can add other ip to access [12:48] hobbelt: but it defaults to only localhost access [12:48] sacarlson yap, but i couldnt access phpmyadmin, so thats a problem then :P [12:48] and sine its a VPS with server edition i dont have a GUI [12:48] I am trying to install using wubi onto an HP Pavilion dv6 laptop (core i7) and it keeps trying to install the AMD64 platform package. is this wrong? I'd prefer not to let it eat up my bandwidth downloading the wrong thing [12:49] hobbelt: well then you might have to ssh into the system and change it there [12:49] i did, it works now :) [12:49] http://xeducation.info/2012/03/gorgeous-brunette-milf-teacher-punishes-her-student/ [12:49] hobbelt: ok done deal [12:49] :x [12:49] which command use to simplication commands for example i would write halt and run /sbin/halt [12:49] sacarlson problem was quiet simple: I defined a rule in httpd.conf which was partially present in apache.conf (phpmyadmin) double entry = error [12:50] and it's beer time for me so I'll leave you all to the experts, good luck to all of you [12:50] chadale - if you want to run 64 bit ubuntu, the amd64 is what your looking for [12:51] Hello I'm sorry for my English.

[13:30] theres a 12.04 version already/ [13:30] wha thappened to no child left behind [13:30] ryan-c: no [13:30] isn't md5sum checking for MD5 of a file? [13:30] ryan_: no [13:31] WhereIsMySpoon: what addresses can you ping [13:32] auronandace: I meant 10.04. I typed that incorrectly. [13:32] what torrent client do you guys use? [13:32] ikonia, i just tried up to 101 [13:32] as in 169.254.255.101 [13:33] still pings up there [13:33] so i guess its just taken over my whole range [13:33] WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so ssh 169.254.255.101 [13:33] WhereIsMySpoon: if there is your machine, you should be able to login [13:33] ryan_: from lts to lts yes [13:34] hm [13:34] chown_: transmission [13:34] .101 doesnt seem to be the ethernet over usb device [13:34] it seems to be my computer [13:34] :S [13:34] auronandace: Thank you! Have a great day!!! [13:34] anyone? [13:34] WhereIsMySpoon: so can you login go .101 ? [13:34] no [13:34] i can login to .97 [13:34] deepsa: anyone what ? saying anyone is pointless [13:34] but .101 is a different device [13:34] WhereIsMySpoon: ok - so it stands to reason that you are not the only person on your network then [13:34] WhereIsMySpoon: is .97 your device ? [13:35] ikonia: actually i posted my query above [13:35] .97 is my ethernet over usb device [13:35] .101 seems to be my own computer [13:35] hi Im thinking of using the "start-stop-daemon" tool to run my process. [13:35] deepsa: yeah, so saying "anyone" isn't useful [13:35] er wait [13:35] WhereIsMySpoon: 101, can't be be your computer, or you'd be able to login [13:35] what [13:35] .101 now seems to be the device [13:35] I want the process to run as user, but i know normally this tool runs as root. [13:35] Is it reasonable to run it as user? [13:35] yea ok all of these ips are the device [13:36] WhereIsMySpoon: can you paste the output of netstat -rn please. [13:36] i can log into all of them and they all go to this same device which i have on my table which is the ethernet over usb device [13:36] WhereIsMySpoon: also, just try "ifconfig usb0:1" for me as a test [13:36] added to the pastie [13:36] ikonia: understood [13:36] :) [13:37] also added to the pasie [13:37] pastie [13:37] http://pastie.org/private/8vamo16qn76yuzxz3gyhq [13:37] just incase you lost it :) [13:37] WhereIsMySpoon: interesting [13:38] hello [13:38] WhereIsMySpoon: there should be no reason why that device is responding to anything other than it's own address [13:38] yes i know :P [13:38] i have problems installing ubuntu 11.10 on my packard bell ixtreme m5150 [13:38] how can I track what ubuntu is doing AFTER gdm login, just like the bootchart? The time it spent before displaying full desktop (with icons) are very long... I am running 11.10 [13:38] hi [13:38] http://bit.ly/ygOwd9 [13:38] WhereIsMySpoon: I can't picture a situation of how that device coulc be responding [13:38] 11.10 is stupid slow xrfang :( [13:39] well, then 12.04 shall be better?? [13:39] WhereIsMySpoon: look in your syslog, can you see anything unusual in there ? [13:39] xrfang: you could look in ~/.xsession-errors [13:39] ikonia, you mean /etc/rsyslog.conf? [13:40] WhereIsMySpoon: no, /var/log - your actual log file [13:40] bastidrazor, it has quite some messages, but I don [13:40] which file shoudl i look at [13:40] 't know what to look for [13:40] WhereIsMySpoon: /var/log/syslog [13:41] unmanaged device found; state connected forced [13:41] then it says see some bug number [13:41] is there any solution to fix "segmentation fault" when trying to run an app ? [13:41] connection auto usbs0 auto-activation faield (2) device not managed by networkmanager or unavailable [13:42] eon_ segmengation fault means null pointer exception [13:42] I am try to add a OpenVPN using network manager. For some odd reason the apply is greyed out. I check network-manager policy setting and everything seems fine...anyone else seen this? [13:42] WhereIsMySpoon: nothing to suggest why it's doing what it's doing though [13:42] so if its your app, then debug it [13:42] if it isnt, raise a bug [13:42] you want the whole file ikonia? [13:43] WhereIsMySpoon: nah, I trust you'd spot anything obvious [13:43] unable to read parmanent mac address? [13:43] *permanent [13:43] Why can't my Ubuntu installer find any partitions? [13:43] WhereIsMySpoon: that's "interesting" but still doesn't explain that [13:44] the syslog is huge [13:44] Is there some way I can find out why I keep getting forcibly disconnected from my wifi? It only happens with this laptop when I'm booted in ubuntu; but I don't get issues with this laptop/ubuntu on any other network.. [13:44] but ive gone back about an hour and dont see anything massive going on [13:44] WhereIsMySpoon: I can't think of how this could be happening [13:44] Ive just installed 1110 and it just boots to a grub prompt. /boot/grub/grub.cfg is missing and so is /initrd.img however /vmlinuz is present. Any ideas please? [13:45] OerHeks: it says i need the codec-c plugin. how can i get it/ === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [13:45] Siegel-, i don't know, it should be working. [13:45] dunno [13:46] eon_: depending on your skill level and/or patience, you can try running the program under ltrace, and see what errors crop up immediately before the segfault occurs: "ltrace -S " [13:46] eon_: sometimes there's an easy fix; usually not. [13:47] ikonia, there anywhere/one else that could help me further do you know? [13:47] sipior: when running ltrace it says that : ltrace: Can't open ELF file .. === rafa_ is now known as Guest6153 [13:47] WhereIsMySpoon: it maybe worth (and this is a little bit of a long shot) looking onthe switch this device is plugged into, see if you can get something from that [13:47] eon_: what was the exact command? [13:48] what do you mean, the switch, ikonia [13:48] sipior: /usr/bin/maya [13:48] I can't run CCSM on gnome classic on Ubuntu 11.10. Can anyone help me? [13:48] its plugged into a usb port [13:48] eon_: the full command, please. [13:48] WhereIsMySpoon your device must be plugged into a switch/hub/router "something" [13:48] no [13:48] its plugged into my computer via usb [13:48] WhereIsMySpoon: hang on, is this not a usb network card, have I missunderstood [13:48] its just a device [13:48] how do i find out the current font used in the terminal? [13:48] it isnt a network card [13:48] Ive just installed ubuntu 1110 and it just boots to a grub prompt. /boot/grub/grub.cfg is missing and so is /initrd.img however /vmlinuz is present. Any ideas please? [13:49] WhereIsMySpoon: I'm sorry, I totally missunderstood [13:49] np ^^ [13:49] sipior: I tried "ltrace -S maya" and the error is "ltrace: Can't open ELF file "/usr/local/bin/maya" " [13:49] AndroUser2: replace the missing files, probably a re-isntall is easier if you don't know how [13:49] WhereIsMySpoon: well, in that case, I'm wondering if the device just broadcasts it's self on the whole range [13:49] WhereIsMySpoon: and your usb0 device is just "your" computers IP on that network [13:49] it didnt before [13:49] eon_: you just mentioned that maya lives in /usr/bin, so there's your problem. try giving the full path: "ltrace -S /usr/bin/maya" [13:49] WhereIsMySpoon: oh, so something's changed [13:50] this only happened after i got a horrible crash [13:50] as ive said [13:50] WhereIsMySpoon: did your computer crash, or the device ? [13:50] computer [13:50] sipior: sorry the right path is /usr/local/bin/maya [13:50] WhereIsMySpoon: where does your computers USB0: ip address come from, do you configure that or does it come from dhcp on the device ? [13:51] Ikonia: i feared that. Is it easy to replace the files? === oracle is now known as Guest11769 [13:51] AndroUser2: depends how much you know what you are doing [13:51] AndroUser2: how did they get removed ? [13:51] ikonia, the ip is automatically assigned to the device when it connects [13:52] and additional devices go 4 more ips up [13:52] so .1, .5, .9 etc [13:52] WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so that must be some sort of "dhcp" type situation from the device [13:52] Ikoonia. No idea. Its a new install on a fresh partition [13:52] im not sure what a dhcp s :P [13:52] *is [13:52] AndroUser2: new install = just re-install, easy and simple [13:52] im a technical guy but dont know much about networking [13:53] WhereIsMySpoon: ok, just let me have a think on this for a moment [13:53] sure [13:55] im having issues with sharing my printer with other none ubuntu OSs [13:56] any other than ubuntu OS, (Fedora and windows) prints out @pjl [13:56] WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so every IP address you try to connect to, is that the USB device, or your computer it connects to (the ssh test) [13:56] tried to connect the printer to fedora and the same happens from ubuntu to fedora over the network [13:56] it must be a cups issue... [13:57] hello alll peeps ! [13:57] anyonbe for a chat? [13:57] how does this thing work ???? [13:57] :) [13:57] nikolai_: hi there, this channel is for Ubuntu technical support discussion, if you want to chat in general try #defocus [13:57] ikonia, the usb device [13:58] nikolai_: /join #defocus for chatting, /join #freenode for IRC help [13:58] #defocus [13:58] Tjena, jag bestämde mig för att installera Ubuntu 11.10 x64 på min stationära dator (från W7). [13:58] Och det hela funkar prima ända tills man ska välja partitioner att ta bort/formatera. Det finns inga partitioner att välja mellan. [13:58] Jag spelade in en film med telefonen som visar hur det ser ut och vad som händer. [13:58] Min dator är av märket Packard Bell iXtreme m5150 [13:58] Är det någon som har någon aning om hur jag ska få till det? [13:58] http://bit.ly/ygOwd9 [13:58] Var väldigt trött när jag spelade in och hade feber. [13:58] Glompkin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:58] !se | Glompkin [13:58] Glompkin: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntustöd hittar du i #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se. Tack! [13:58] WhereIsMySpoon: ok, so I cannot back this up in anyway, but it sounds as if the USB device is either a.) acting as some sort of virtual switch (which is why you see it respond to everything) or it's setting up multiple interfaces for it's sefl with all those IP's [13:59] WhereIsMySpoon: the issue doesn't appear to be with the host OS configuration, as that has 1 IP, the networking and routing is setup correctly, so based on what you've said, I can only assume the usb device is doing "something" [13:59] but this didnt happen before [13:59] only now after the crash [13:59] WhereIsMySpoon: that doesn't mean it's not happening now [14:00] if it makes any difference, i have a self defined file which assigns ethernet over usb devices different ips when they connect [14:00] WhereIsMySpoon: I know it's not very factual, but based on what you've told me and the responses on the network, that's what it points at [14:00] but it should only assign different devices to different ips [14:00] not the same device [14:00] WhereIsMySpoon: can you show me that file ? [14:00] sure one sec [14:01] WhereIsMySpoon: it may be "you" who's acting as the dhcp service, rather than the device then (based on what you are saying now) === Un-buntu is now known as cracka [14:04] ikonia this file is in /etc/ssh fyi [14:04] WhereIsMySpoon: ok....... [14:04] i pmd it to you === rain is now known as Tr0n [14:05] anone have time for a couple of (hopefully) quick preseed questions? === Tr0n is now known as Noname [14:05] i want to use my ssh key while doing things with sudo. is that possible? === Noname is now known as Guest39265 [14:06] mohsinhijazee: not sure i understand the question, can you be more specific... have you tried sudo with the -E flag? [14:06] WhereIsMySpoon: ok, I've just read it, I don't think that file is used to assign IP's to the remote devices [14:06] WhereIsMySpoon: that just looks like ssh client options on a per device basis [14:06] 12.04 will not have X installed by default, right? [14:07] oki [14:07] Ycarene: it will have X installed by default [14:07] Ycarene: Where's that coming from? Obviously will, Ubuntu is and always will be a desktop distro [14:07] WhereIsMySpoon: which leads me back to my original assumption [14:07] Oh, I thought they were moving away from X [14:07] =/ [14:07] i dont understand why this has suddenly happened [14:08] geekbri: I am doing git clone in a script but that script runs with sudo and I can't get authenticated. I hope you got to the issue. [14:08] WhereIsMySpoon: that part I can't say, but I can only say what "appears" to be the issue, or where it is [14:08] mohsinhijazee: there are a couple different options but -E may help you. [14:08] ikonia, so this shouldnt happen with a different device? [14:08] mohsinhijazee: The -E (preserve environment) option will override the env_reset option in sudoers(5)). It is only available when either the matching command has the SETENV tag or the setenv option is set in sudoers(5). [14:08] of the same type that is [14:09] Or will X be installed in a compatibility layer over Wayland? [14:09] WhereIsMySpoon: I don't know in honest, I don't know how the devices are supposed to behave, but it maybe worth trying [14:09] Ycarene: wayland is not being used [14:09] geekbri: so how do I go about that? [14:09] does anyone know why the preseed partman atomic recipe seems to be creating / and /home, instead of just /? [14:10] ikonia - Seems not long ago they were hot to move on to Wayland. [14:10] mohsinhijazee: well I dont know much about what you are doing but if you are running the script with sudo
