[00:00] fine. [00:00] terran4000: ...jsut wondering, any possibility that you're running 12.04 beta? [00:00] nannes, you'd probably want to install a server addition though, as 256M wont run most of the UB desktops. [00:01] Walther, As much as I love cutting edge stuff like Arch, no ... I'm too old for that. Nominally stable 11.10 [00:01] * cog installs ubuntu [00:02] lol@ terran4000 , I'm right there with you on that one [00:02] Walther, 12.04 is going through daily updates, nothing is stable with those distro's yet. [00:02] Can I ask a MINT question in this channel? [00:02] KI7MT: I know, that is why I asked [00:02] KI7MT: ok..but.... do you think that if all the PCs are updating at the same time (by the apt source) it could make reduce internet speed (originating a LAN bottleneck) [00:02] !mint [00:02] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:02] ok, np [00:02] #linuxmint-help is totally empty btw...lol [00:02] I'm running it in VM's but it's seriously buggy right now. [00:03] beetlej00z: /connect irc.spotchat.org first [00:03] thanks [00:03] hi, i just installed ubuntu on a new computer, rsynced my files over, and reinstalled all my packages. then, i restarted my computer, and now it's frozen on the ubuntu loading screen (has been about twenty minutes). does anyone know what might be causing this? [00:04] (also, I do have to say that at least for me, 12.04 has been the most stable alpha ever) [00:04] nannes, it's possible, but for what your looking at doing I dont think you'd have troubles, unless it's allot of concurrent connections. [00:04] my problem is that when you minimize a program appears on the bottom bar i`am ubuntu please help :( [00:04] boxbeatsy: did you try rebooting? [00:04] Walther: sorry, that's what i meant. i rebooted my computer and now it's stuck at the ubuntu loading screen [00:05] KI7MT: about 20 cuncurrent at the same time.... it's for a school... I need to consider every thing before starting to do it [00:05] hey what does it mean that when I put in a blank CD a window pops up saying: "You have just inserted a blank CD. Choose what application to launch" [00:05] *cuncurrent connections [00:05] yet it doesn't show up [00:05] in df -h [00:05] pocata: I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean - what is your native language? There is most probably an ubuntu channel in it [00:05] My install currently installs a disk partition, should i not have opened up xchat? :) [00:05] or in: ls /dev [00:06] On the plus side: speaker-test -c 6 -r 48000 -D surround51 (mostly) works. [00:06] nannes, If at all possible, and you need to be sure, I'd try to find a more modern desktop to be the server, support for P4 hardware is get very slim if at all these days. [00:06] ok [00:06] Walther: i tried manually restarting my computer once also, but it returned to the same loading screen [00:06] UBUNTO IS AN ANTI-WHITE RACIST OS FUNDED BY AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WHO USES LINUX TO THROW HIS AFRICAN PROPAGANDA DOWN OUR COLLECTIVE THROATS!! [00:06] boxbeatsy: try getting into a terminal by ctrl-alt-f1 [00:06] On the downside, compiling the A52 plugin (part of the libasound2-plugins package) didn't fix anything [00:06] nannes, a simple core2 would be fare superior and have much better support.

[00:22] I'm trying to add some extra folders to the path that the compiler looks for include files, but I'm not sure how to do that.

[00:24] amalgama: no, it only updates the required packages [00:24] np [00:24] or, "should" [00:25] Walther: thanx.. [00:25] amalgama: upgrading to a new version without the *desktop file could be an issue! [00:25] do you know if Ubuntu 11.10 is good for netbooks yet? there was a power regression with the linux kernel.. i wonder if it's fixed. [00:25] zykotick9: the *desktop file? [00:26] amalgama: what you're trying to avoid (perhaps). Like the ubuntu-desktop metapackage. [00:26] no? yes? [00:27] UbuntuNerd: Should be fine - I've been using it for a while and getting over 4:50 [00:27] on a netbook?? [00:27] Walther: on a Netbook?? [00:28] UbuntuNerd: Samsung N510 [00:29] zykotick9: ah ok... i havent used upgrade in any distro, only fresh installs, a dist-upgrade i suppose will return which packages will be installed, right? I could check from there? [00:29] amalgama dist-upgrade will only update the packages present if new ones are in the stream [00:30] amalgama: dis-upgrade isn't what you want.

If I have a testing box running precise, should I compile fglrx for target Ubuntu/precise or Ubuntu/oneiric? If I compile for precise I get lots of compile errors. Not sure why this is. Any clues? [00:37] I tip from the wise and foolish: when testing your high end audio system connected to your non-working computer, make sure to not leave the volume on SUPER ULTRA MEGA high when you think you found a fix. Not only will this make your cat jump and scratch you, you're wife will also make you sleep on the couch as a result.

[00:38] But at least I fixed it =^_^= [00:38] terran4000: true story [00:38] And visa is lowering my merchant fees. [00:38] so all's well that ends well. [00:39] terran4000: you are wife? [00:39] Walther, thanks for the ideas and helping out. Many thanks sir. [00:39] no problem [00:39] lolcat^, I'm not the wife. My wife is the wife. [00:41] terran4000: You said "you're wife will also make you sleep on the couch as a result" ie "you are wife wille also make you sleep on the couch as a result", wich is an odd statement [00:41] hi guys i have a question, im setting up a new virtual server and i want to know, if it's better to have the fs use LVM or not, any advices?

[00:42] LucidGuy, it reboots [00:42] Walther thank you.. now kde is working... [00:43] LucidGuy: Lag. It waits for more ram... and if there's none, it will crash / reboot [00:43] Walther: the "tell nick about ot" is nicer [00:43] LucidGuy, the world ends ... or your machine slows down and might cause out of memory issues. [00:43] lolcat^: which isn't implemented here [00:43] ubottu: tell walter about guidelines [00:43] Hmm .. been troubleshooting a sick ubuntu box for months ....

[00:54] I am running ubuntu 10.04 LTS and need to install python 2.7. does anyone know of a good ppa I can use to install 2.7 from? [00:54] druonysus: I believe that python 2.7 should already be installed [00:55] druonysus: I am using 11.10 and my default python was 2.7 [00:55] druonysus: sudo apt-get install python2.7 [00:55] druonysus: I would make sure that you aren [00:55] hydrox24: I haven't tried vlc, but cheese says "No device found" and gstreamer-properties says it can't find /dev/video0 [00:55] druonysus: it is in the repositories :) [00:56] d [00:56] Walther: hydrox24, not on 10.04 [00:57] trism: hm... could e.g. the oneiric ppa be added? [00:57] luojingutb: unfortunately info on you particular device is a little sparse... [00:57] trism: really? that's strange then. is it 3+ in 10.04? [00:58] hydrox24: I felt the same :( [00:59] luojingutb: I would double check that the webcam is enabled in BIOS too. [01:00] ok guys, dumb question. how can I make my hostname report on my network? i cant ping $hostname, i can only ping $ip_address [01:00] hydrox24: yes 3.1 is in lucid [01:00] hydrox24: 3.1 and 2.6 [01:00] trism: thanks, I guess you learn somehting every day! [01:01] hostname is set in /etc/hostname, and i verify by typing 'hostname' in console, but its not being picked up by my router so other systems can ssh with the hostname [01:01] hydrox24: Hmm. Okay brb after a reboot then. (ps how does one reply to a specific person, like you're doing?) [01:01] luojingutb: type part of their name and hit [01:01] luojingutb: you're doing it too right now, but for private chat you can go "/msg $PERSONNAME $MESSAGE" [01:02] or what hydrox24 said [01:02] :P [01:02] luojingutb: that will start a private chat rather than a public chat [01:03] any good linux games? [01:04] chestyle look in software center and search "games" [01:04] chestyle, definitely! depends on what kind of games you like to play. The Humble Indie Bundle games all run on Linux, for starters. So does Minecraft. There's included arcade/card games by default, and you can find many more in Software Center. Also try Nexuiz if you like FPS :) [01:04] chestyle: try looking at the humbleindiebundle offers to find the names of good games, all of the humblebundle games work on linux natively [01:04] well, duh, I mean are there any good native linux games except HoN, Savage or whatever [01:04] hi, can you guys suggest some email with good privacy policy unlike gmail f.e.? [01:04] hydrox24, humble indie brofist [01:05] * CFHowlett "well, duh"? really? [01:05] Thx [01:05] chestyle, also tons and tons of emulators run very well on Linux [01:06] #ubuntu-es [01:06] anyone? [01:06] can someone atleast point me in the right direction where to get help? [01:06] hydrox24: I couldn't find anything remotely close tro webcam... [01:07] j2daosh, what are you looking for help with? [01:07] j2daosh: you'd need a DNS server in your local network, /etc/hostname is only for your local box [01:07] i want to get my system to report a hostname to my router. so i can ping/ssh/ftp/etc to a hostname instead of IP [01:08] all of my windows boxes report a hostname, and my other linux server reports it, but I can't get ubuntu to report it [01:08] j2daosh might want to also ask #ubuntu-server [01:08] so my router status page just shows the IP and mac and hostname is blank [01:08] Octagonist: does it need to be webmail? [01:08] Octagonist: actually, that really doesn't belong here. This is a channel for *ubuntu* help [01:09] j2daosh: try rebooting your network device. ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 up [01:09] assuming eth0 [01:09] hydrox24: yeah i know. sorry for that. no more questions. [01:09] Walther: can you tell me, how j2daosh machines "report" their names to his router? Is this UPNP? [01:10] hmw: I don't know, for me, this sounds just that the network device is not working properly [01:10] Walther: I had to install bind in order to achieve name resolution [01:10] for me, just "hostname macchiato" does it fine [01:11] never heard of clients "reporting" their names [01:11] or "hostname ristretto" [01:11] except for SMB [01:11] well, I don't think "reporting" is really the problem here, but showing up in smb:// share or similar [01:11] yeah [01:11] or the router logs [01:11] hmw: you may be on to something. my redhat server does have a smb share [01:11] but he wants to use the name for ssh and alike [01:11] maybe it's a cifs thing [01:12] also, perhaps sleeptime now... 03:12 here [01:12] j2daosh: if you configure your samba, this will not cause general name resolution, only smb clients will see that name [01:13] hmmm... [01:13] j2daosh: perhaps they put something new into Ubuntu, though. *puzzled face* [01:13] luojingutb: sorry, try the v4l wiki, but you're gonna get bogged down quickly in docs and stuff there. [01:13] luojingutb: what kernel are you running? (uname -r) if your unsure [01:14] hydrox24: 3.0.0-16-generic-pae [01:15] I'm having problems getting a USB network adapter to work. I plug it in to my Ubuntu 11.10 desktop, and it works fine. I plug it into my Ubuntu 11.10 server and lsusb sees it, but the interface doesn't show up [01:15] if I plug in a second, identical, usb nic, it shows up just fine. [01:16] j2daosh: perhaps you are using netbios for name resolution in your LAN [01:17] j2daosh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88206 [01:17] luojingutb: OK, how brave are you? [01:17] Walther: E: Couldn't find package python2.7 [01:17] runelind: try ifconfig -a [01:18] it isn't in my repos [01:18] hydrox24: yeah, that's what I'm trying [01:18] now showy uppy [01:18] no* [01:18] hydrox24: Is this a trick question? I wouldn't mind re-installing the OS..? [01:18] druonysus: off to bed now :) hope someone else can help you - my suggestion would be to update [01:19] runelind: no, just are you brave enough to compile a new kernel on the off chance that the webcam would work, would mean reinstalling, but you would have to go into it with an attitude of doing it for the learning experience [01:19] nope I did an apt-get update and then tried installing 2.7 and still nothing [01:20] what repo should have the python2.7 package? [01:20] druonysus: It's in my repos so not sure why it isnt coming up.

[01:22] i have tried mounting the drive via live cd to install grub but so far haven't been able to [01:22] my ? is: well, i want to "erase" my ubuntu 10.04, and then re-install it ("clean install"). [01:22] bashi_: your bios settimgs may be stopping the write of boot [01:23] mmk what setting would that be though that would prevent it? [01:24] is there a GUI way to automount windows on bootup rather than using /etc/fstab ? [01:24] druonysus: python 6 is in the 10.04 repos, is using that satisfactory? [01:24] hydrox24: no, we need 2.7 or our code breaks [01:24] our app wont build [01:25] DropsOfSerenity: http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14 [01:25] DropsOfSerenity: using pysdm. [01:26] druonysus: download this http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7/Python-2.7.tgz [01:26] druonysus, install 11.10, it has python python 2.7.2-7ubuntu2 as default [01:26] hydrox24, thank you [01:26] then extract it, change into the dir and "./configure" then "make" then "sudo make altinstall" [01:26] Oer: 11.10 isn't really an option [01:26] druonysus: that's cool [01:26] Hi. I installed 11.10. And am using gnome fallback session. What package provides the menu? I would like to change the translation === seraph1 is now known as grievous [01:27] crf: provides what menu? [01:28] hydrox24 -- the menu that says "Applications" "Places" [01:28] My ? is: if I, say, re-format my ubuntu partition to , say .ext2 (or maybe FAT32); then re-install ubuntu (10.04) from live cd--will that work?? [01:28] I have to use an LTS and other tools we have already work with 10.04 we will update them when 12.04 comes out but I can't justify spending time updating them with a release we arn't going to use [01:28] hydrox24, very nice tool worked perfectly, didn't know that existed, thanks [01:29] This should work: system >> administration >> language support, then follow the prompts. How-Too http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17528/change-the-user-interface-language-in-ubuntu/ [01:29] Joneeetux: should, however doesn't the ubuntu install give you the option of formatting the partition that the OS is to be installed onto as ext2 anyway? [01:29] Joneeetux the optimal format is ext4 - why downgrade?? [01:30] hi, after installing a list of packages on ubuntu 10.04, i restarted and am now getting stuck on the splash screen indefinitely. i've turned off the splash screen in the grub boot menu but i'm not seeing any errors. any ideas on how to continue? i've also boot into recovery mode to check that there were no package errors to fix. [01:30] hydrox24 ... in previous Ubuntu, 11.04, using gnome session, this file was language-pack-gnome-en-base [01:31] running 11.10 - my updater stopped working. it tells me there are updates available, but when i click to open the interface from the panel, it doesn't open. [01:31] hydrox24, sorry , /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_CA/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-panel-2.0.mo [01:31] yes. What I'm tryin' to do--well, I want to teach myself 'How' to do a "clean install"--with no evidence remaining of the previous hostname, & tc. [01:31] hydrox24, but in the new Ubuntu, it is in a different file. I want to know which one. [01:31] Joneeetux format the / partition and install away ... [01:33] So i guess Grub's 'stage 1' will remain: just its stage 2 that sits on the ubuntu partiton will be erased? [01:34] If it would be that way, I could then just reinstall ubuntu 10.04 right away, and set a new hostname, &tc--just like a new install, and my win7 would be unaffected?? [01:36] Joneeetux if you format / everything gets wiped. [01:36] I have Googled this issue a good deal, but I'm havin' just a wee bit of trouble understanding.... [01:37] Joneeetux you can format JUST the system partition "/" and that's all that'll get wiped. Win7 will still be present. the only issue will be ensuring proper grub configuration. [01:37] yes, that would just wipe-off the ubuntu partition, wouldn't it?? [01:37] Joneeetux right. [01:38] hello [01:38] altoid79 greetings [01:38] Hey everyone, Was wondering if I could pick a Ubuntu guru's mind on an error I continue to encounter [01:39] !ask | melo1369 [01:39] melo1369: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[01:39] Joneeetux correct. [01:39] hydrox24: now I just have to plug in the other 11 interfaces and hope they also work. [01:40] I am currently working from my Asus G74sx 64 bit Win 7 OS. I have 2 Patriot 120GB SSD the one with Win 7 and the other I have installed a 32 bit 11.10 Desktop Ubuntu on. My install goes fine according to everything however, when I restarted after I installed, during boot I encountered a grub rescue error stating device not found. [01:40] I could probly use the advanced tab in ubiquity installer to point ubuntu into the vacant hole? [01:41] Joneeetux you should select guided or manual partitioning ...

[01:50] how do I open the port? <- linux noob [01:50] perfekt, you'll need to ask in #freenode about that [01:51] well I followed all the instructions for getting xchat to work with tor, but it doesn't work, so I'm guessing I need to open port 9050. How do I do so? [01:51] anyone happen to run an Ubuntu 11.10 server? I have disks that are set to spindown in hdparm.conf, not being woken up by smartd (desired), and noatime set.

[02:03] is there a way to just force an install regardless of any dependencies? [02:03] Praxi, LibreOffice supports ODBC, and I think there's a draw program, but not sure how vast it is compared to Visio [02:03] Hi, I want to intall https on apache , help me [02:03] i think the lib versions are close enough that thjey will both run using the same libs, but the package manager won't let me try [02:04] kk thanks KI7MT [02:04] peepsalot, contact the PPA maintainers and ask them perhaps [02:04] Here's a guy using LibreOfiice, as apposed to Visio: http://smacak.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/opensource-alternative-to-microsoft-visio/ [02:05] Zac_o_O: try powertop, it gives lots of info on things like that.

[02:14] !unity|leontopod [02:14] leontopod: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [02:14] leontopod: then use a different ui [02:14] I'm not complaining. =) [02:15] leontopod: it has to do with the fact that ALL major OS's are attempting to go this way, so they can use a single interface on all devices for familiarity [02:15] I'm just wondering why it looks like something that runs on a tablet computer. [02:15] munkybeatz, ah [02:15] leontopod: because people are too stupid to use more than one ui [02:15] leontopod: this way they don't have to come up with 4-6 different interfaces, since we have tons of new devices coming out [02:15] leontopod: you have the option to not boot into unity when you login [02:16] Hey, I am not complaining. I just wondering! [02:16] I complain [02:16] because it's terrible [02:16] !ot [02:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:16] leontopod: i understand. You'll find people get a bit huffy over this item though for some reason, many are against change [02:16] Would anyone by any chance know how to troubleshoot volume on 10.04? [02:16] anyone able to help with an fstab issue? [02:16] #ubuntu-offtopic is for opinions this is support [02:17] exit [02:17] quit [02:17] ./ [02:17] haha [02:17] he wanted to get out of here! [02:17] Volume troubleshooting... am I in the right chat here? [02:17] Fyodorovna: i support your opinion! (joking) [02:17] Ernest: whats the issue [02:17] lol [02:18] munkybeatz: uhm something about that looks wrong [02:18] sec [02:19] Celthunder: A rather odd one, for whatever reason, my volume works, but only at a certain point and beyond. [02:19] Ernest: uhm that makes sense [02:19] if its off or too loud its at max/min. [02:20] Celthunder: Well, so it would seem, however, at a certain threshold is where the volume actually increases. [02:20] The first few notches are just silent. [02:20] hmm is there a shortcut key to lock ubuntu, similar to windows key L? [02:21] Praxi by default, no. But you keybind up a shortcut. [02:21] Praxi: you can bind one if you want [02:21] Ernest: take a look at the command "alsamixer" [02:21] It's' Ctrl-Alt-L by default on my installation. [02:21] s/s'/s/ [02:22] ooh good call log [02:22] works on mine too [02:22] Cool. :) [02:22] ty :) [02:22] celthunder: what exactly is wrong then? I'm wondering if I forgot to add something or left something out of options [02:22] No problem, Praxi. :) [02:22] spacebug: "No such file or directory" [02:23] Anyone know if I can use my external USB HDD to install ubuntu so I can dual boot? Or does it have to be cd/bootable stick? Or, would I be better off just using wubi? And, if that's the case; is it possible to run 64bit Wubi on a 32bit Windows install? lol [02:23] been out of the irc for 5 yrs. came back today to see it is still alive. :) [02:23] munkybeatz: /dev/sda4 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002 0 0 [02:23] munkybeatz: or something like that.... [02:24] celthunder: alright, lemme give that a try [02:24] celthunder: thanks for looking/helping btw [02:24] thoong: Very much so. :) [02:24] thoong: irc has been around for like 20 years and still going strong [02:24] Hi...Any Chroma Keying Software for photo editing Available ? [02:25] thoong: as strong as ever! [02:25] munkybeatz: any luck [02:25] Amdpc: you can probably do what you want to using the "GIMP" program. It's open-source, free and runs on ubuntu. [02:25] Ernest: sudo apt-get install alsa-utils [02:25] anyone use xnview? how does it compare to irfanview on windows? [02:25] Garband: wubi is useless yes you can use a usb hdd if you can boot from usb [02:25] KOoL [02:26] hydrox24 : Can you giude me about Using Chroma Keying in it ? [02:26] Amdpc: http://www.nebomusic.net/chromakey.html [02:26] Thanks, Cel. :D Looks like I need to figure out how to boot from my external drive now :] [02:27] Garband: press f12 or something at bios [02:27] Garband: should let you set the boot order [02:27] That makes sense.. I remembered that you had to do something special to boot from usb sticks.. Was just gonna check if I could boot order the external hdd or if I had to format it a specific way [02:27] Amdpc: Gimp is similar to photoshop, you are looking to edit photos not videos right? [02:28] @ log : Let me try...N thanks.. [02:28] hydrox24 : Yeh..Only Photos.. [02:28] Garband: you can either change the boot order, or choos the boot medie from the "boot menu" at startup [02:28] celthunder: now it mounts as root, is there anyway to get it to mount so any user can read/write ? [02:29] munkybeatz: is your user in the users group [02:29] munkybeatz: ext or ntfs/fat? [02:29] munkybeatz: change the uid/gid to your users [02:29] Amdpc: try looking at this video for help with chrom-keying in gimp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYaHrkngITY [02:29] zykotick9: he is using ntfs-3g [02:29] Thanks again, Cel, and Hydrox. I'mma go download ubuntu and try this out. :D [02:29] celthunder: ok [02:29] zykotick9: ntfs [02:30] Amdpc: first you'll need to download the plugin for it (instructions for install are in the description) here [02:30] Hello, i have an issue using this iptables rule: "iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner mldonkey -d 172.16.0.0/12 -j DROP", now, when i issue "sudo -u mldonkey ping 172.28.147.2" i would expect to get some sort of "Forbidden" error, but i get ping replyes instead. Where am i wrong? Can anybody please help me? [02:30] celthunder: munkybeatz ok, can't help then... [02:30] hydrox24 : Ok..Wait [02:30] zykotick9: i probably shouldnt be either but it wasnt to start with worst i can do is make it the same [02:31] hi [02:31] I need a deployment specialist [02:32] Alright I have the results.txt file...

[02:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/870862/ [02:34] Coral064: yes [02:35] melo1369, thanks hold on [02:35] Amdpc: yes, but what I meant was that I don't have expertise in the chroma-leying itself, I can probably only help you with installing the plugin & gimp [02:36] Thanks for looking into it :) I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff. I took an intro Linux course at school but we only ran a Linux Mint on Virtual box and I have a network scripting course in the fall so I want to get a head start on dabling with the Linux environment more :) [02:37] melo1369_, so grub got installed in the sda drive where windows is you want it in the sdb mbr, you can also reinstall the ms bootloader to the sda if needed so that you can choose either ssd HD to boot from. [02:37] ??? [02:37] Hi everyone. i am running virtualbox with 10.04 as a host. how should the internet from wlan0 be configured in a windows xp host for it to work properly? [02:38] melo1369_, you have the same ubuntu cd you installed with still? [02:38] Yup [02:38] celthunder: alrighty, I got it. Couldn't have figured it out without you though. I set gid=users and uid=1000 [02:38] wingnut2626, Just use NAT or Bridged [02:38] wingnut you call both 1004 and xp the host [02:38] celthunder: apparently, my username I use to login with wasn't even listed as a username that existed??? how's that? [02:39] Oh im sorry. xp is the guest [02:40] cosine amoctma [02:40] melo1369_, here is the install grub to the mbr from the live cd link. There are 3 methods in this area, make sure you read carefully and run the fdisc -l command to confirm that the sdb still shows a sdb, and reinstall to that mbr. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files [02:41] wingnut2626, I just looked at mine, I have 16 guest OS, all are using NAT, and the Host is wlan0 also 10.04 UB [02:41] melo1369_, fdisk -l sorry you will see this command first. [02:41] anyone experienced with deploying 10.04 ? [02:41] Coral064, you mean in multiple boxes? [02:41] Sweet. I'll give it a try :) [02:41] i have a cloning server setup [02:41] ive been using for windows installations and it works great for that [02:41] id like to create an ubuntu image on the cloning server [02:42] Coral064, you might look at clonezilla [02:42] im using fog my cloning server is set up [02:42] my question is how to i prepare an ubuntu image for cloning [02:42] Coral064, clonezilla does deployment, if I get your definition. [02:42] ie deployment [02:43] fog does multicast cloning as well [02:43] for example [02:43] Coral064: look at remastersys. [02:43] it will spit an iso if that is what you want. [02:43] for example hostnames will be an issue if the clients are on the same network [02:43] that is all handled by remastersys [02:43] k thanks L3top [02:44] ill look into it [02:44] oh one more question [02:44] shoot. [02:45] this is an issue with fog, for multiple partitions (ie linux) it cannot perform resizing [02:45] how would i deploy to systems with different sized drives [02:46] ok... well... remastersys will use the ubiquity installer... [02:46] if you want to just dump an image across different sizes [02:46] that is going to take some work I believe. [02:46] i have to look into remastersys [02:46] thank you, much appreciated [02:46] fyodorovna Looks like everything worked. I'm going to reboot to ensure everything is good now :D [02:46] what do you guys think about a calendar/appointment application [02:46] nice to know ppl konw whats up :) [02:46] I think you might end up making dd images, and resize2fs [02:46] something like outlook reminders [02:47] hi, how can i downgrade my version of firefox to 3.6 from 10.0? i tried apt-get remove firefox and apt-get install firefox-3.6, but it simply reinstalled 10.0 [02:47] melo1369_, cool just run in ubuntu sudo update-grub [02:47] thank you L3top, gn [02:47] thank you L3top, gn [02:47] np [02:48] melo1369_, make sure tha\e sdb HD is first in the bios as well. [02:48] the* [02:48] aaron_c: since ubuntu changed there policy regarding firefox, i doubt you can get firefox3 anymore. [02:48] okay Looks like I have an error. [02:48] My touchpad is acting up in 11.10: it works, but it's not detecting everything I do. It moves wobbly and clicks don't always register. It's a Toshiba PBLS8E [02:49] comes up error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [02:49] Hi/Help - Can't remember the button I'm supposed to hold down during boot to get to Memtest [02:49] zykotick9: :O what happened? [02:50] aaron_c: well, the package policy used to be - no version upgrades. But they changed that specifically because of firefox. [02:51] zykotick9: gotcha...i still see firefox-3.6 listed in the apt-get repository though. it's odd because when i try to install firefox-3.6, it just goes back to 10.0.... [02:51] how do I use wget to load an entire website and all it's content including images?

[02:58] sdb* [02:58] back [02:59] I installed it to one of my hdd's if that's what you're asking. [02:59] melo1369_, did ubuntu boot? [03:00] No when I installed it said to restart because install was complete. When I rebooted I got a grub rescue error [03:00] hi. i've got faulty computer and can't boot into the os. can't boot into the os on another computer with the same hdd either (it just switches off, probably a driver issue), and can't get into the drive because I lost the encryption key :/ ... what can I do? [03:00] Morning [03:00] (tyring to recover data) [03:00] i was able to get back on to my ubuntu using the usb stick [03:00] so I want wget to load all the content of a page and then tunnel it to /dev/null [03:01] -O /dev/null [03:01] melo1369_, you have a funky setup one ssd with a mbrtboot that is sda the sdb is gpt I would run that script again and post a thread at the ubuntu forums, this is a bit more than a standard fix. [03:02] anyone? [03:02] melo1369_, you mean back on ubuhtu means you booted the live version on the stick? [03:02] yes [03:02] I am on ubuntu right now. I am using the stick right now to access ubuntu. I ran the script from this boot up... was I not suppose to do that? [03:03] melo1369_, follow the run script and put a thread with that at the ubuntu forums is my advice [03:03] Okay cool. Thanks for all your help :) [03:04] melo1369_, no the script is fine run it again, you have a unusual partitioning set up that should be dealt with by people who know this stuff .

[03:20] hi [03:23] so i installed ubuntu 11.10 with wubi... used it and was happy, but today i messed around with burg... and i forgot i installed ubuntu using wubi which directed me to a nice grub rescue prompt === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [03:24] fortunately i have my parted magic disk always around... so i booted into parted magic and am searching for a way to restore grub [03:25] any tips on doing so... becuase im not really sure because of the wubi installation [03:26] inable wubi is easy [03:26] this is asome [03:27] does anyone know how i can add a dash style launcher (like the one in unity) to cairo dock? [03:27] how can I stop remastersys halfway through an operation? [03:27] na bro [03:27] ab2tractly: i'm pretty new to ubuntu in general... so nothing's easy at all ;D [03:28] can someone re mind me how much ram ubuntu needs [03:28] !requirements | bobbyflatscreen 1GB RAM [03:28] bobbyflatscreen 1GB RAM: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [03:28] tanks [03:28] this is better tha twitter [03:29] so any ideas what i can do? [03:29] inable wubi is the easiest way to install ubuntu just follow the wizard no risk to hurt windows installation [03:29] newbie dont know [03:30] question: is there a script that can display the contents of tailf /var/log/auth.log | grep Failed to a webpage so i can see it live as my ssh is attacked? [03:30] f*ck wget [03:30] can someone try to help me with my issue? [03:31] the ubuntu formem is asom google it and cheak it out ansers all questons [03:31] ripper_ whats your issue [03:31] ab2tractly: you didn't read the first part i wrote, didn't you? i messed up grub by installing burg without using the wub-install0guide === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 [03:31] ab2tractly, i'm trying to add an app search thing like unity has to my cairo dock [03:31] iNable: well, you're about to learn a tough less, wubi installs don't get much help in #ubuntu, maininly because experienced users don't touch wubi and are thus unfamiliar with it's womerkings. [03:31] s/less/lesson/ [03:32] what can i do to get a faster connection with the centrino 1300n chip? i'm only getting 65 Mb while the pci adapter in my destop is getting twice that speed - both the lappy and desktop are running ubuntu 11.10 [03:32] iNable: I am pretty well versed in burg, what's your issue? [03:32] zykotick9: i justy wanted to try out ubuntu and was to lazy to reinstall it as i got comfortable with it ;( [03:32] ripper_ like ubuntu software center? [03:33] hydrox24: hope you're familiar with wubi as well ;) [03:33] ab2tractly, no not exactly more like the dashboard search [03:33] windows installer [03:33] ive played with wubi not sure how you messed up your grub [03:34] dont use wubi use damein tools for dual boot [03:34] ripper_ oh... [03:34] is grub even installed when you use wubi? thought it used the default windows boot loader [03:34] hydrox24: so i installed burg but without taking notice of a seperate install guide for wubiusers... after reboot i got grub rescue prompt [03:34] yeah ab2tractly i dont have that function and i honestly like cairo dock better than unity [03:34] I am setting up a wordpress in apaches web root directory /var/www. Should I just dump all the inxed.php and needed files in there, or is there a cleaner way of doing things? [03:34] can someone help me with adb? im dieing here. [03:35] be sure i won't use wubi ever again [03:35] rippper_ not sure anyone loves unity or the new gnome [03:35] sorry dameon tools lite rember the lite its free [03:35] inable how exactly did you mess up grub when wubi doesnt even install it [03:36] ripper_, better get used to Unity, as it's around to stay Im affraid. [03:36] iNable: OK, I would be able to help you, but I have never touched wubi, so sorry about that :( [03:36] ripper_ download the iso for linux mint and try that out based on ubuntu [03:37] iNable, you can't use grub or burg with a wubi. Do you have a windows recovery or install disc [03:37] ab2tractly: i just installed burg... and at the grub rescue prompt i typ ls and only get "(hd0)" when trying to select it it says unknown filesystem [03:38] whats unity [03:38] Fyodorovna: i'm currently on parted magic.... bootet from the "ultimate boot cd" [03:38] inable ah....lol well you shouldnt have done that [03:38] iNable, Do you have a windows recovery or install disc [03:38] besides wubi is made by ubuntu [03:39] Fyodorovna: nope i just have (had...?) a recovery partition [03:39] bobbyflatscreen its the default widow display manager for ubutnu 11.10 [03:39] I have a question, but don't want to interrupt... [03:39] asj [03:39] go mobilenoob11 [03:39] mobilenoob11: just jump in! [03:39] lol [03:39] How do I cancel alot of package installations? [03:39] btw. unity is awfull just replace it with the standard gnome-shell :) gnome 3 is beautiful :D [03:40] cool [03:40] iNable, two choices you can just dual boot ubuntu and use the grub bootloader or install lilo to boot windows directly, not sure if the wubi will show with that boot. [03:40] anyone know how to add the hibernate and shutdown option in gnome 3 [03:40] How do you send a bot msg to yourself? [03:40] iNable, or get a recovery disc and install the windows bootloader back and have wubi. [03:40] Having recently switched to Ubuntu, I have no idea what to use for my php/html editing. I used Taco edit for mac before. Does Ubuntu have a text editor that organizes php and html ? [03:41] godofwar: hold down alt at the menu [03:41] mobilenoob11: yeah it's called V [03:41] Vi [03:41] mobilenoob11: gedit [03:41] whats wrong with package installations and isnt there an iso manager [03:41] mobilenoob11 you can check the unbuntu [03:41] Fyodorovna: so... couldn't i just fix the mbr with testdisk or something and grub should detect everything again? [03:41] hydrox24: that is just for shutting down, sorry I really meant to just say hibernate [03:41] software center or synaptic [03:41] question: is there a script that can display the contents of tailf /var/log/auth.log | grep Failed to a webpage so i can see it live as my ssh is attacked? [03:42] iNable, I would not mess with testdisk myself when all you need is the windows bootloader, but that is just me. [03:42] will vi or gedit organize and color tags + variables? [03:42] yes [03:42] ab2tractly, any ideas for me? [03:42] lol well that didn't work :-) how do I send bot msg to me? [03:43] anyone know how to add the hibernate option in gnome 3??? [03:43] Fyodorovna: the problem is i don't have a recovery-cd and can't boot into my recovery-partition [03:43] mobilenoob11: i know gedit does [03:43] mobilenoob11: yes syn on [03:43] Cool [03:43] ripper_ have you tried out linux mint? [03:43] yes and hate it [03:43] mobilenoob11: did u try sublimetext2? [03:44] ripper_: what do you want out of your ditro? [03:44] oh lol are you using cairo dock with unity? [03:44] I've installed the AMD Catalyst drivers for my radeon card, but I'd like to switch back to the open-source radeon driver temporarily to test something. How do I do that? [03:44] Gedit is cooler than I thought. Ubuntu so full of lovely surprises! [03:44] hydrox24, for it to look like osx and be ubuntu 11.10 :) [03:44] hydrox24, im just trying to get the search function for ciaro dock [03:44] thats all im missing [03:44] everything else, is AMAZING [03:44] ripper [03:45] yes ab2tractly ? [03:45] mobilenoob11: thats why i love it [03:45] I could of been sadistic and made my roomies learn to use openbsd :D but meh i share my pc so it has to be easy to use [03:45] ripper_ try docky its been a while since ive used it but i liked it better than cairo [03:45] ripper_: what search function? [03:46] ab2tractly, thats what im reading apparently [03:46] ripper_: try this http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac [03:46] Chipzzz, like the one in unity [03:46] Thanks Ghost [03:46] ripper_: you'll have to use gnome-classic though [03:46] oh [03:46] nvm @ gnome clasic [03:46] ripper_ is talking about the search funition in unity he wants it without unity but with a dock type program [03:46] i've got everything i need hydrox24 the only issue i have is that i have to deal with the ugly traditional gnome menu [03:46] iNable, you can instal lilo from ubuntu cd and bot windows directly, I'm not sure though that it will boot wubi. But you could make a recovery disc there an reload the windows bootloader, and get wubi back most likely. [03:47] ab2tractly, you just nailed it bro :D [03:47] boot* [03:47] ripper_: it has 'applications menu' instead... I don't think cairo has anything like the app search in unity [03:48] ab2tractly, can you tell me why i cant view all my installed themes in system settings? [03:48] None of the tweeks have the Unity search function [03:48] i want not EXACTLY that but i want something similar to it [03:49] have you tried alt + f2 then type r and enter or a logout/login [03:49] mhm, i have a crappy installation of ubuntu which i started using because win7 seemed to be broken and now i fucked up the bootloader and have no access to my recovery partition nor a recovery dvd... i think i just get a external HDD backup as much as I can and totaly set up the freaking machine again... fml what a week [03:49] or maybe advanced settings [03:49] iNable, installing lilo is to the mbr with specific commands just so you know. [03:50] iNable: can you boot into linux at all? if not try a live CD [03:50] hydrox24: i am using parted magic atm... but i can't booting into anything without a cd [03:51] ...parted magic via a bootable cd... [03:51] My touchpad is acting up in 11.10: it works, but it's not detecting everything I do. It moves wobbly and clicks don't always register. It's a Toshiba PBLS8E [03:51] iNable: try installing grub to the boot partition [03:51] iNable, you could try this method to restore Grub, if you have a liveCD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [03:52] That sould at least pick up windows, then you can work on getting Wubi back up an running. [03:52] hydrox24, this is a wubi install. [03:53] KI7MT, grub will not boot a wubi [03:53] Can someone point me in the direction of a place that can help me with my ADB? [03:54] Fyodorovna, he lost his boot loader, so at some point he installed grub, as he's getting dumped to the grub menu. [03:54] At least with Grub up and running, he can get back to Windows. [03:54] KI7MT, right but wubi does not use a complete grub in the mbr to boot it is from the windows bootloader. [03:55] Fyodorovna, fare enough, but right now he can't boot windows either. [03:55] KI7MT, no you are wrong here. [03:55] it's all senseless [03:55] i just back everything up and reinstall win7 and ubuntu [03:55] KI7MT, I have given them what to do but they are not relizing what to do. [03:55] Ok how so. [03:55] with good and clean partitioning and so on [03:55] iNable: believe me about wubi yet? [03:56] KI7MT, it is in the channel [03:56] zykotick9: totaly. never again [03:56] Ok [03:56] Gud luck with lilo\ [03:57] iNable, make a ubuntu cd and I will get you into windows to make a recovery disc to load the windows bootloader and you will have wubi. Or just install ubuntu as a dual boot. [03:57] thanks for your help but it's not worth it to invest so much effort in getting a wubi-installed ubuntu back or entering a broken version of windows :D [03:57] Hello [03:57] iNable, windows is not broken the mbr is. [03:57] whats the correct way of specifying in apt that "this repository does not take precedence over any other repository EXCEPT for "? I know it'd be apt-pinning, but i'm curious as to what all the args are [03:58] windows is broken by design ;) [03:58] it is possible top enter notebook bios having a windows keyword? [03:58] want to install ubuntu from usb stick, but need to make it bootable from bios probaly. [03:58] Fyodorovna: haha no win7 is broken itself... that's why i started to use ubuntu :D i got BSODs a few times a day... no matter what i restored or what [03:58] sergiu: of course it is [03:58] EvilResistance: if you run "apt-cache policy" the numbers on the left side indicate a repos priority. Sorry i don't know how to set them, never personally had to. [03:59] iNable, ah, well get a recovery disc and run the recovery partition if yiou want it. [03:59] inable a bsod can be a hardware issue so using ubuntu might not help your problem [03:59] ab2tractly: i used ubuntu for 2 weeks now without a single problem... [04:01] a fuck that... i backup everything and get a new hdd ... there were some bad sectors too maybe that caused win7 to crash and ubuntu just didn't used them === sergiu is now known as doom [04:01] ssd ftw [04:01] :D [04:01] good night everybody... thanks for your help!

[05:24] ibiwro, This channel currently only supports Ubuntu. I'm guessing nobody answered in kubuntu's channel. [05:24] does anyone in here have some experience with usb adapters that can help me out? I've followed directions from ubuntuforums and nothing has worked so far [05:25] dommer: to make a file executable, you use "chmod +x" then the filename [05:25] aBound: running kde on ubuntu doesn't make it not ubuntu, you know [05:25] johnnycr__: did you do sudo lsusb ; and find out if the devices is supported in linux? [05:25] aBound: any more than running chrome instead of firefox [05:25] dommer: but if you're trying to run something interpreted, like java bytecode, you don't need to make it executable [05:25] Dooglus: yeah if I'm scripting something [05:25] dommer: just do what I said [05:26] lahwran, Tell that to the channel topic. :P [05:26] lahwran : I tried and it failed to work [05:26] sacarlson, yes it is supposed to be supported it is Realtek RTL8188SU [05:26] dommer: and what did it do? [05:26] lahwran, You don't go into a bash channel asking for zsh help when the two clearly have two different features. [05:26] lahwran: it didn't work. didn't you hear him?!? [05:26] KDE is not the same as Unity. [05:26] aBound: but we're not in #unity [05:27] Dooglus: Thank you :D I will have to do this for everything from now on I guess!' [05:27] And we aren't in Kubuntu either. [05:27] :P [05:27] nor #unityubuntu [05:27] I guess that satisfied him...

[05:30] johnnycr__: seems I see this This card does work on the daily build of i386 11.04 so hopefully the issue remains fixed for the next release. [05:30] johnnycr__: so what have you installed now? did you try ubuntu 11.04? [05:30] hi i am problem help me please:( [05:30] her problem is that open program doesn't appear in the task bar/launcher [05:31] I have lubuntu 11.10, and I also tried ubuntu 11.10 and ubuntu 10.04 and the adapter didn't work on any of them === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [05:32] lahwran: aBound: There is nothing wrong with asking about Kubuntu, or KDE apps in Ubuntu, or any other combination of software in the official repositories, in this channel. That said, you're more likely to find people knowledgable about KDE in #kubuntu than here. [05:32] johnnycr__: ok so when you say it doesn't work does it work at all at least in none encrypted networks? [05:32] Jordan_U: now that's reasonable [05:32] My touchpad is acting up in 11.10: it works, but it's not detecting everything I do. It moves wobbly and clicks don't always register. It's a Toshiba PBLS8E [05:33] sacarlson: I cannot connect to my WPA2 network at home. [05:33] johnnycr__: ok if you disable wpa2 encrytion will it work?

[05:34] !topic [05:34] looking forward to it. i think i'll be hanging on the the LTS release this time around too [05:34] sacarlson: can't tell because my landlord setup the network and I don't have access to the router [05:34] johnnycr__: also what is seen with sudo lsmod |grep 8712 ; does the driver install? you should see something like 8712u.ko [05:35] zykotick9: /topic [05:35] totesmuh1oats: ;) ya, sorry 'bout that [05:35] zykotick9: i'm not offended just lending a hand [05:35] sacarlson: I got "r8712u 163310 0" [05:36] johnnycr__: well if we see the driver we might at least us the other encrytion method that can be switched but I have to find out how as I forgot what it's called [05:36] johnnycr__: so that shows that the device is recognized; so what does iwconfig show? [05:37] aBound: I assure you I have already read the channel topic. I'd rather not discuss at length what is offtopic for Ubuntu here, as it would be ironically somewhat offtopic. If you'd like to continue discussing this please join #ubuntu-ops. [05:38] I'm not here to discuss I'm here to reference the topic to those who aren't using Ubuntu. If they want help they can clearly go to the #kubuntu channel. [05:38] I have question: there is a way to see all the plugins and stuff in Firefox, like what kind of plugin your using for flash players...I've used it before but I cant remember what it is, and I don't know where to look for this sort of thing. I remember typing (plugins:info) or something like that... [05:38] johnnycr__: ok I found the encryption method you should use called wpa_supplicant http://dalebetts.blogspot.com/2010/12/setting-up-wireless-ubuntu-server-1010.html [05:38] Kubuntu is off-topic in here. :P [05:38] sacarlson: iwconfig shows "no wireless extensions" and "unassociated Nickname: 'rtl_wifi'" [05:39] aBound: no it's not. your arguing about this with an OP, don't you think they know what is ontopic for #ubuntu [05:39] aBound, lets move on. all variants (official derivates are fine here) [05:40] How am I arguing with an OP when the topic clearly states what is ontopic. [05:40] Currently supporting 10.04 LTS, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 << Is that not enough validation for you? [05:40] aBound: bazhang above is also an OP [05:40] aBound: Both I and bazhang are ops in this channel. If you'd like to continue discussing this please join #ubuntu-ops. === schredder is now known as schredder_away [05:40] johnnycr__: oh so what about sudo iwlist scanning === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [05:41] Is network-manager-gnome package default in Ubuntu for netwrok management? [05:42] sacarlson: under the wlan0 category it says ESSID: "" and Encryption key: on and some other things [05:43] TO ANYone that wants to answer my above question.... I just figured it out its about:plugins (face palm) [05:44] johnnycr__: is your network hidden or maybe that's just the name [05:44] hi, this is not really specifically ubuntu question. But there are so many people here someone might know... [05:44] sacarlson: it is a hidden network [05:44] I'm trying to download a webpage with wget, and it works otherwise ok, but the downloaded page seems to have all the scandic letters as garbage [05:44] sacarlson: it's not broadcasted but I have the SSID and password inputed correctly [05:44] johnnycr__: I found more info on setup of wpa_supplicant but I think there is a way to set it in the gui someplace also, but maybe wpasupplicant package must be installed http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1857635&page=2 [05:44] I tried setting the remote and local encoding options to fi_FI.UTF-8, but that doesn't seem to have any effect [05:46] johnnycr__: that's alot of complications for a system you don't know even works at all, but it sounds like it must already be working just a mater proper settings [05:46] !network-manager [05:46] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [05:46] does the ubuntu installer support btrfs?' [05:47] sacarlson: I know the router is good because I have other computers connected to it, and I know the usb adapter is good because I tested it on my windows PC and it worked fine [05:48] hi [05:48] johnnycr__: ibiwro: take a look in networkmanager see if there is a box that selects wpasupplicant some place and play with those settings, that should give you a better chance [05:51] johnnycr__: I have no dought the hardware works but the uncertain part is if the drivers are working and configured correcty as they must not be [05:53] how do i change how hard i need to press on my touchpad for it to regiser? [05:54] does the ubuntu installer support btrfs?' [05:55] Xabster: I would think in System>preference>mouse>sensitivity [05:55] that's how fast it goes [05:55] scientes: seems like 11.04 and later do https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs [05:55] not how hard i need to press [05:56] Xabster: no I think speed would be acceleration [05:56] no, acceleration would be acceleration [05:57] ie. increased sensitivity as a function of the speed at which you move your finger [05:57] Xabster: did you try the other 7 settings that I see, I'm not sure more would be seen if I had a pad [05:58] yes, there are no options in the mouse/touchpad settings related to pressure [05:58] same goes for the synaptics driver thingy === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [05:58] it doesn't have anything related to pressure [06:00] Xabster: I see some other details here http://superuser.com/questions/229839/reduce-laptop-touch-pad-sensitivity-in-ubuntu [06:01] hi all, a chrome window has managed to get the tabe area above the location where the gnome menus are, and since i can't hide the are with the gnome windows i can't move the window down. Is there a way to grab the window and move it down with a key combination or a way to hide the area that has the menus? [06:02] LetterRip: try holding ALT then click/drag the window [06:03] ah i see, sacarlson, i also see that my touchpad is recognized as a two or three finger device and it's infact not - it only works with 1 finger [06:03] that might be what is causing my problems [06:03] zykotick9: nope not working [06:04] something is wrong with my terminal, im using lxterminal and it is deleting the scroll back after 20-30 lines, the text isnt even off the screen yet and its gone [06:04] it works on other windows but the area i can grab is above the gnome menu area on this window [06:04] LetterRip: with ALT you should be able to "grab" anywhere? [06:05] zykotick9: try it on a chrome window it only works at the very top of the window [06:05] LetterRip: ummm, chrome [06:06] zykotick9: yes i have a chrome browser open and one of them is somehow part of the window above the menu area of gnome [06:06] LetterRip: oh i believe you (i don't have chrome/chromium to test), but i believe you! [06:07] it somehow happened when i drug a window from one workspace to another [06:08] I've googled, but does flash work in chromium 54bit? [06:08] *64 [06:08] andrewaclt: yes, there is even a 64bit flash available now [06:08] Do you have to do something special to enable it? [06:09] ah, I thought flash was packaged with the browser [06:09] but install the adobe flash plugin did the trick [06:20] okay, so, changing the pressure-levels really help my touchpad work better but it still "flickers" - meaning it moves irradic [06:20] it's so hard to hit the close button fx.

The issue might be solvable without knowledge of mdadm. I just need to rename a partition/disk/device which used to be called 'md0' and now linux decided to call it 'md127' after i connected another harddrive. [06:34] VIPER-II, i'm not able to assist, unfortunately, i think knowledge of mdadm is needed, so i recommend patience [06:35] ... ok. Thanks anyways. [06:35] I do wonder though, how will new joiners know what question i asked earlier if i dont re-ask it. [06:35] * VIPER-II scratches his head.

[07:33] kwtm, before you consider wubi read what the wubi designer says. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ [07:34] salars: which video cards? [07:34] kwtm, you could put a full install on a flash. [07:34] Fyodorovna: Hmm, you seem to be trying to sway me away from Wubi. If I don't plan to consider Wubi does that mean I don't need to read it? [07:34] mongo:thinkpad E520 [07:34] Fyodorovna: That's exactly what I've done. Sorry if I'm not clear --you seem to be putting out a lot of unnecessary text trying to convincve me of something,. [07:34] salars: no, we need to know the info on the two video cards [07:34] kwtm, no wubi no read yeah. [07:34] salars: just swaping boards or are you going from ati to nvidia? [07:35] Fyodorovna: I had Unetbootin put Kubuntu 10.04 iso on a bootable flash where it's running and I'm about to install. i just wanted to make sure it doesn't clobber the Win7 MBR. Here we go. [07:35] ati + intel [07:35] kwtm wubi is just to allow you to install ubuntu within the the windows 7.. [07:35] salars: adding in ati? [07:35] reith2004: That's what I thought; I' trying to break out of Win7 so I'm putting it on a separate partition. Here we go! [07:36] kwtm: a wubi install happens from within a windows OS while it is running, its just another install to windows [07:36] kwtm, it will overwrite the mbr. [07:37] Fyodorovna: Will it render my computer unable to boot Win7? If not, then it doesn't matter if it overwrites the MBR with grub. I just want to go to work, boot Win7 like nothing happened, and then use Linux when no one is watching [07:37] salars: are you talking about a hybrid video card, ATI & Intel? [07:37] 0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0 [07:37] 1:DIS: :Pwr:0000:01:00.0 [07:38] kwtm, a partitioned install will put grub in the mbr and you will have both OS in the grub menu. [07:38] kwtm yea it will overwrite the mbr and will be replace by window7 like bootloader.. lols try a vmware or virtual box.. [07:38] whenever I boot up or shutdown ubuntu gives me a bunch of error messages but of course they dissapear. how can I see them? they look important I expect they explain all these problems I'm having [07:38] yes [07:39] lewis1711: 'dmesg' probably [07:39] lewis1711: look at syslog [07:40] hi [07:40] thx [07:40] or just boot to the USB [07:40] to see if you like it === lemurph is now known as lemurph_away === pete_ is now known as PeterLin [07:40] ubuntu 12.04 how change a keyboard lang& [07:41] red_: reask in #ubuntu+1 [07:41] do you guys encounter problem like checking battery status even if you are using desktop? and then the pc hang?

[07:41] Clearly ubuntu has messed up the java installation [07:41] lewis1711, you might start with the problems. [07:41] red_: in gnomelook at the gear like icon on the upper right, click on that and go to "system settings" [07:42] what's the quickest way to fix this [07:42] i am on Natty Narwhal [07:42] red_: once you get in there you will see "language support" [07:42] mongo: sorry, I've read what you wrote and i'm not sure yet how to proceed. If i do BLKID i see the 2 devices /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1 with the same UUID but different (and unique) UUID_SUB. After that I see a /dev/md127 with a UUID which i dont see anywhere (have a feeling that this is one that the system generated automatically for the /dev/md127) [07:42] mongo: you shouldn't offer support for 12.04 here [07:43] Fyodorovna: they're vague and I doubt people will be able to help. never the less - system is sometimes excruiciatingly slow, and sporadically my monitor will stop receiving signal during bootup causing me to have to unplug it at the wall and start again a few times [07:43] How can I use mobile broadband via bluetooth? [07:43] VIPER-II: use the md127 UUID [07:43] zykotick9: sorry, i'm just a user :) [07:43] k [07:43] dmesg isn't saying too much, just saying "ehci_hcd 0000:00:13.2: port 5 reset error -110" about a million times [07:43] but thanks crizzy [07:44] i'm lost a language panel after install gnome 3 [07:44] * mongo will hold his tounge on gnome 3 :) [07:44] red_: for support for 12.04 please join #ubuntu+1 [07:44] lewis1711: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-redhat-centos-kernel-usb-reset-high-speed-ehci_hcd/ probably related to that, at least might give some clues.. [07:45] i'm bad speak english i'm need a russian keyboard [07:45] Greetings!!! [07:45] what is the command to display all the running processes? [07:46] ponrajuganesh: "ps aux" [07:46] whether does it work for unix zykotick9 [07:47] Hi, Is there a way to set my computer to shut down quicker. Specially when it is asleep, I want to be able to hit the power button in a moments notice so that my machine can shut down quickly. I have a lot of scheduled power cuts? [07:47] ponrajuganesh: OT, but depending on what unix, you might need "ps -e" perhaps? [07:47] cool ya "ps -e" works fine zykotick9 [07:47] red_, you should be on #ubuntu+1 [07:48] how to use a grep zykotick9, like it displays many list of processes where one needs to get the things that start with "BGw*" [07:48] Hey guys [07:48] ponrajuganesh: "ps -e | grep BGw" might work [07:49] ya working awesome zykotick9 === companion is now known as Companion [07:49] ponrajuganesh: if you aren't using Ubuntu, you shouldn't be asking in this channel [07:49] whois [07:50] only this channel people are replying and I am using ubuntu only zykotick9 [07:50] ponrajuganesh: if "ps aux" didn't work - i highly doubt that... [07:50] ponrajuganesh, what are you trying to do? [07:51] ps aux shows all processes, and all users can see all processes (namespaces complicate things CONFIG_PID_NS, but you arn't using that) [07:51] I got it guys thanks for your concern zykotick9 and scientes [07:51] thats why you should never put a password in a command line command [07:51] strange. BLKID shows the UUID with ":" between the numbers, but in the mdadm.conf I only see "-" between the numbers. Should i change 8adcb270-e264-4d80-9231-109f6a8e2d0f to 8adcb270:e264:4d80:9231:109f6a8e2d0f ? [07:51] scientes: FYI ps aux doesn't work on many "unix" system, thus why it's not working for ponrajuganesh i'd imagine [07:52] Hi, Is there a way to set my computer to shut down quicker. Specially when it is asleep, I want to be able to hit the power button in a moments notice so that my machine can shut down quickly. I have a lot of scheduled power cuts? And I never know if it's going to go off. I have an inverter by it does not last long and when it starts beeping then my computer needs to be shut down quickly. Please help? [07:52] VIPER-II, "blkid" on the command line works just finr [07:52] VIPER-II, (as root) [07:52] scientes: I'm peeping with BLKID what the UUID would be in order to write it down in my mdadm.conf [07:52] infact thereis no command with the option os aux in unix [07:52] BlueWolf, suspend is usually faster than shutdown [07:52] BlueWolf, if it is a relatively recent notebook or netbook just press down the power button for five seconds [07:52] zykotick9 [07:53] it's in the specifications that the notebook/netbook HAS to turn off in five seconds if you keep the power button pressed down. [07:53] But in the string that BLKID gives back i see "-" between them. Am i supposed to put that in Mdadm.conf or should i change the "-" with ":" first? [07:53] ponrajuganesh, ps aux is gnu coreutils, busybox ps doesn't support any options, there is also the /proc equiv of ps [07:53] HELLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO [07:53] which would be /proc/foo/cmdline [07:53] I ma having a bad day here people [07:53] !ask brun0l3z [07:54] !ask | brun0l3z [07:54] brun0l3z: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [07:54] People my vmware player will not even load modules [07:54] sup brun0l3z [07:54] brun0l3z, honestly, kvm and virt-manager font-end is way better and faster than vmware [07:54] Here is what i get as error message: [07:54] Unable to build kernel module. [07:54] * VIPER-II don't know anything of vmware. Sorry. [07:54] See log file /tmp/vmware-root/modconfig-15496.log for details [07:55] Hey Scientes are you sure?? [07:55] brun0l3z, but if you need to build that you need to install sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [07:55] I did that bro [07:55] brun0l3z, yeah, virt-manager/KVM is solid stuff, and is open source unlike vmware [07:55] it also supports alot more than the gratis version of vmware [07:56] how to switch between apps that run only in terminal? [07:56] scientes Thanks bro [07:56] abruski, either add a & after your command to fork it to the background, or end the curently running process with ctrl-c [07:56] I think i just have to go with you here scientes [07:56] abruski, also checkout screen [07:56] leontopod: Ok, Well if it helps I am using a desktop with Ubuntu 10.04 - it is a core i3 2.93Ghz, 2GB Ram, 240GT Nividia graphic card, 700wt power supply. Will holding down the power button still work? Will it suspend. And what does suspend do, shutdown sleep? [07:56] !screen | abruski [07:56] abruski: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [07:57] will check it out thank you ;) [07:57] abruski, the biggest thing screen is useful for is running a process on a headless server after you log out [07:58] BlueWolf, I don't know [07:58] How exactly does a php backdoor works? [07:58] I just know that if you hold the power button down on any relatively recently manufactured notebook or netbook it has to shut off in five seconds max. [07:58] brun0l3z: WAY offtopic [07:59] will vmware player work even if one has not installed the vmware workstation??? === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [08:00] leontopod: Is suspend still the fastest way to shut down or turn off the computer. How would I set one of my keys so that when it is pressed or held it suspends? [08:01] BlueWolf, I don't know. [08:01] I am sorry I said anything. =) [08:01] will vmware player work even if workstation is not installed??? [08:02] anybody running an asus g37sw? [08:02] BlueWolf: Not for me. Shutdown is fast as hell anyway. Suspend is about startup. [08:02] leontopod: Not a problem, thanks for the help anyway. [08:02] Does anyone else know how to solve my problem? [08:02] brun0l3z, at one point vmware had a gratis version of vmware-server [08:03] vmware player is a totally POS software IMHO [08:03] as you can't do anything [08:03] but really, virt-manager is awesome [08:03] my touchpad is super buggy, it [08:03] BlueWolf: How experiences user youa re? [08:04] I agree with you scientes Virt Manager is the best [08:04] randomly grabs things and drags them... i suspect it crashes compiz from time to time [08:04] brun0l3z, then why arn't you using it [08:04] brun0l3z, you can convert vmdk images to be used by virt-manager [08:04] I am downloading it as we speak scientes [08:04] (forget the programs name, but qemu-somethingoranother) [08:04] f4z8i1: Well when my inverter battery is flat then it starts beeping and about 5 or so seconds after it starts it bombs my computer. I know my way around but I am not great on Linux - Why? [08:05] scientes: qemu-img probably [08:05] sudo apt-get install virt-manager libvirt-bin kvm (to download virt - manager) [08:05] virt-manager comes from redhat. yeah correct zykotick9 [08:05] Oh, than let we discuss in private to make less spam. [08:05] scientes: yes v-m is redhat [08:05] brun0l3z, well, kvm package doesn't exist anymore, its qemu-kvm === KaiSforza is now known as KAISforza [08:05] I'm not Ubuntu user either, but that doesn't matter [08:06] Thanks Scientes [08:06] and virt-mangaer will pull in libvirt--but i guess -bin is differn't [08:06] f4z8i1, then you should be in this channel [08:06] I was getting an error already [08:06] *shouldn't be in this channel f4z8i1 [08:07] Just running apt-get install virt-manager (will get you virt - manager) [08:07] scientes: In support in general, .. if I'm not interested, than I should go out? [08:07] brun0l3z, i am not sure it pulls in kvm however as it also supports xen (but it should) [08:08] f4z8i1, well, you have to stay on-opic, which is support for people using ubuntu === uW is now known as Guest15801 [08:08] If it's Linux in general, it's still no change. [08:09] scientes once its installed i will see if kvm is included [08:09] If it's Ubuntu I just can keep my mouth shut.. so I'm really not happy about your first reply. [08:09] is there a way to put a ext4 in FSTAB but without any rights? So that it behaves like ntfs without rights? So that i dont have to break my balls on which directory is from which user? [08:10] f4z8i1, well, not everyone can make the distinction [08:11] VIPER-II, well, mounting with the options nodev,nosuid, and maybe another for xattr? gets rid of the security implications [08:11] but squashing it to one user is something totally differn't === uw_ is now known as uw [08:11] virt-manager is so simple to install just: apt-get install virt-manager qemu-kvm [08:12] hell of alot easier than vmware [08:12] so so so so easy to install scientes its just apt-get install virt-manager qemu-kvm [08:12] that does it all [08:13] Okay I have to reboot now later guys [08:13] what is bogon? Anyone know? [08:14] referring to peerguardian lists [08:14] bru...oh geeze [08:14] he didn't need to reboot.... [08:15] oh well, he is still experiencing the greatness that is GNU/Linux [08:19] Hi there, [08:19] I'm looking for someone who can help me solve grub2 "autoboot" problem. === Taftse is now known as Taftse|train [08:20] After an upgrade the 1st rebootis successful the next stop int the boot menu. === torrocus is now known as Guest13035 === asdfniasn is now known as f4z8i1 [08:22] hi all [08:23] Aruzsi: What happens when you select the Ubuntu entry from the grub menu? Does it still boot successfully? [08:24] I have problem with ecryptfs. I can't log in and mount my ~ [08:27] almost sounds like a euphemism :P [08:28] lol [08:31] is there a way to search and replace ( under ubuntu 10.10 ) for multiple html files ? ( i must change, or delete some code in like 500+ documents ) ? [08:32] who can recover ecryptfs data? [08:33] G O D [08:33] someone else? :] [08:33] I'm trying command: sudo ecryptfs-recover-private [08:34] sory Guest13035 i don't have enough experiance with ecryptfs [08:34] Anyone know where I can find the Gnome / KDE or what the name is, Do I look in system? [08:35] hey i have ubuntu 11.10 wubi installed on my pc [08:35] hey I have a quick question. I have seen guys put in a "su" command in terminal so they dont have to type sudo all the time [08:35] should i upgrade to 12.04 beta1 [08:35] ? [08:35] How do i do that? [08:36] Guest13035: You might try the ecryptfs-recover-private utility from a LiveCD http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html [08:36] beatboxhero: su and sudo are two completly different commands. [08:36] They still give you root permissions though right? [08:36] sorry if its a retarded question haha [08:37] should i upgrade to beta1? [08:37] i have 11.10 on wubi [08:37] I would just rather type in su once then sudo a million times [08:37] beatboxhero: Yes, but you need a root password in order for su to switch to root. And that's not recommended [08:37] beatbox: type sudo terminal [08:37] I was thinking of upgrading too. I wonder how stable it is. [08:37] ja1lulu, wubi is not a good idea in general upgrading is not either [08:37] and you will get a terminal as root [08:37] OH! okay thats why it keeps failing to authorize haha [08:37] ty Fydorovna [08:38] and its bad why? [08:38] !root | beatboxhero [08:38] beatboxhero: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:38] just because having that set up is a security risk? [08:38] hello friends [08:38] HAHA nice [08:38] thanks [08:38] !tab | beatboxhero [08:38] beatboxhero: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:39] beatboxhero: type sudo gnome-terminal [08:39] and you will get a root termianl [08:39] *terminal [08:39] please, been trying to enable fingerprint authentication with fprint and pam, and run into some noncritical issue [08:39] ah... as expected "ext4" works beautifully. (Ofcourse i'm being sarcastic). How the heck do i get rid of those "rights" issues? My Sabnzbd makes a folder now with user-owner "Main" and i try to access it wiht my mediaplayer which ofcousre doesn't have the rights to access the folder. -_- [08:39] thanks guys. your the best. [08:40] beatboxhero: You can use 'sudo su' [08:41] gksudo should be used [08:41] sudo -i or sudo -s is preferable to sudo su [08:41] which upon first logon fails to activate hardware or for whatever reason does not get logged in [08:41] Fyodorovna: Only if you want to run graphical apps [08:42] geirha: Right... I use sudo -i myself [08:42] i have two fprint attempts enabled in common-auth, so i have to twice confirm the failure and then login with password [08:42] nyuszika7h, not really [08:42] once logged in it works well [08:42] how do i change my swap directory in ubuntu? i accidentaly made it a partition /dev/sda4 when i wanted it to be /dev/sda3/swap [08:43] the partition was ext3 and now it wont mount T_T [08:43] i changed my fstab to say it is ext3 but ubuntu still thinks it is a swap drive [08:44] hoshi411: swapon /dev/sda3 ?? [08:45] Hi, I am new to ubuntu, and came to IRC first time in my life. need help on apache module mod_env, for php dont know where to go. [08:45] Fyodorovna: I know that most users here use Ubuntu with X11 installed, but I doubt there woulc be gksu[do] on Ubuntu Server, for example, and sudo -i works fine [08:45] hoshi411: could you ask more clearly please? [08:45] amandje: yes [08:45] ryevision, sure: so there are two things I want to do [08:46] So why should they use gksudo? Maybe when they want to run GUI apps, but otherwise sudo is fine. [08:46] ryevision, on thing is, when I installed ubuntu, i told it to make sda3 my / directory and sda4 my swap directory [08:46] and it did that [08:46] nyuszika7h, the user addressed said nothing about a server. [08:46] and you want to reverse it now [08:47] but I actually wanted swap to be on sda4/swap [08:47] Fyodorovna: Yes, but sudo works just fine... [08:47] so a folder called swap on sda4 [08:47] how can I change which folder ubuntu uses as a swap directory? [08:47] hoshi411: swap has to be a separate partition for persistance sake [08:48] hoshi411: you can split your sda4 unto two parts, one of which will be now used as swap [08:48] ryevision, ok , so what if I want to make it a different paritition, for example sda5 [08:48] hoshi411: There is no such thing as a swap directory. Swap partitions aren't mounted, and you can't convert a swap partition to an ext4 partition just by changing your fstab. [08:48] hoshi411: you would need to run gparted in root mode [08:48] where are the ubuntu settings for which partition it uses as swap? [08:48] Anyway, I might be wrong, I am not an Ubuntu user nor do I use GUI for 99% of things. Only a few things. So I mignt be wrong. [08:49] s/mignt/might/ [08:49] hoshi411: in /etc/fstab file, you have to edit it in root mode [08:49] hoshi411: first you need to have a partition prepared [08:49] (I didn't mean that I use GUI for 1% only.) [08:49] ryevision, there is no other location for those settings? [08:50] hoshi411: it is unlikely you have a gui for that setting [08:50] ryevision: I also want to get my sda3 partition back. After telling the installer that it was my swap parititon, it no longer recognizes it or mounts it as an ext3 partition [08:51] i doubt that the files on it are lost because I did not format it [08:51] hoshi411: If you want to convert a swap partition to an ext4 partition you need to actually create an ext4 filesystem on the partition. Once the filesystem is created, you can configure it to be mounted in /etc/fstab but it needs to actually *be* an ext4 partition first. [08:51] hoshi411: a partition can be mounted with a hell amount of settings, no gui could cover them all [08:51] hoshi411, time to do a reinstall from scratch, sounds like [08:51] i only told the installer to setup the fstab as swap [08:51] but I want the files that were on the sda3 ext3 partition [08:51] I did not format it so they must still be there [08:51] hoshi411, too late! [08:51] hoshi411: your sda3 now contains a swap filesystem, not an ext3 system now [08:51] they are gone! [08:52] hoshi411: All of the data on partition you made a swap partition is likely gone. Most of it irrecoverably. [08:52] only fstab thinks that it is a swap parittion and has forgotten that it is actually ext3 [08:52] you might as well install windows 7 on it now, hoshi411 [08:52] hoshi411: once swap was created there, it has been wiped probably [08:52] hoshi411: Selecting a partition to be a swap partition involves formatting. A swap partition and an ext4 partition are different "formats". [08:53] ryevision, but I told the installer not to format it [08:53] swap is just page space on disk, right? [08:53] hm [08:53] hoshi411: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid". [08:53] pages of memory get swapped in and out of the disk [08:53] hoshi411: swap is not being formatted in true sense, but it still wipes out file table data and structure [08:53] there appears to be an issue with the screensavers which xubuntu uses, and the drivers for my ati card [08:53] ok so actually, designating a partition to be used for swap does not necessarily require formatting [08:53] as when i turn screensavers on, i get unable to handle kernel paging request errors [08:54] WhereIsMySpoon, that sounds pretty serious [08:54] ya think :p [08:54] hoshi411: It *does* require formatting. An ext4 partition is not a swap partition, in the same way that an ntfs partition is not an ext4 partition. [08:54] WhereIsMySpoon, switch to Slackware, you will LOVE KDE 4! [08:54] =) [08:54] er [08:54] hoshi411: did you have vital data on that partition? [08:54] i think i have the latest version of xubuntu [08:54] http://pastebin.com/sGdLB3Fx [08:54] im running xfce [08:54] hey all. Im running 11.10 after finally upgrading. I used to have mounted drives on my desktop. They are only showing now in the launcher. All my google searches are coming up with how to remove them, rather than add them. ??? [08:55] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/sGdLB3Fx [08:55] mount -a? [08:55] I am running ubuntu 10.04 and i cant get any sound out of my audio output? any ideas. The headphones work at the moment I have to use to computers to listen to music [08:55] leontopod, how do i know which version of kde im running === eon is now known as Guest71226 [08:55] WhereIsMySpoon, that is a very very good question [08:56] lol [08:56] Basically, the easiest way is to open a KDE application and click the "About" menu option. [08:56] leontopod, such as? [08:56] Anyone? [08:56] kde 4.8 is awesome :) [08:56] there are several OSs that can designate a parittion or directory to be used for swap, without formatting it. Debian is one. My old debian setup made used a directory inside of a partition as swap. What it did was mount that directory in a separate area and use it as swap. it not only mounted the partition but also the folder in that partition [08:56] hoshi411: That means that /dev/sda4 is a swap partition. Any files that used to be on it when it was an ext4 parititon are gone. You may be able to recover some of them, but I really hope you have backups. That is if it's really /dev/sda4 wich used to contain an ext4 filesystem. [08:57] I am trying KWord right now, WhereIsMySpoon [08:57] i dont have that installed [08:57] when I used macosx it also allowed me to designate whichever partition I wanted to use for swap, without wiping the data [08:57] WhereIsMySpoon, any KDE application will do [08:57] just open the application, click on About KDE [08:57] i dont know which ones are kde apps xD [08:57] hoshi411: That's called a swap file, not a swap directory. And it is not what you have here. [08:57] when IOMUU is enabled and I boot 11.10 live, I can NOT access my dedicated raid array on my adaptec 3805. when IOMUU is disabled, it works fine. How can I get it to work when IOMUU is enabled? [08:57] They usually start with a capital K [08:58] typically, i'd previously get a kernel panic when IOMUU is enabled [08:58] ok [08:58] No audio output from ubuntu 10.04 any ideas? [08:58] wow... hmm .. ok ... time to get a second opinion. thanks though O_o [08:58] clonezilla works fine. [08:58] be back ... [08:58] hoshi411: Ubuntu can use swap files, but that is not what you have right now. /dev/sda4 is a swap partition, it no longer contains any files. [08:58] ok leontopod my kmoustool says revision kde 4.5 [08:58] mousetool [08:58] hoshi411: running swap on a separate partition prevents many threats [08:59] Newb: phonon or pulseaudio? [08:59] WhereIsMySpoon, http://www.intertwingled.net/aboutkde.png [08:59] pulse audio [08:59] that is what it shows for me [08:59] Ive tried every setting [08:59] naeh, sorry, not been using pa for long [09:00] every configuration [09:00] Newb: make sure you have the right backend and right output metod configuret both in system settings and in application settings === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [09:00] it is the most frequent trivial mistake occured [09:00] leontopod, i dont have a file settings help thing [09:00] ryevision, will do [09:01] !version [09:01] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [09:01] How can I ensure the latest kernel is used on my liveusb? [09:01] [companion@cube ~]$ lsb_release -a -> bash: lsb_release: command not found [09:01] Newb: if you don't find your way, find someone knowledgeable in pulseaudio [09:01] windows 8 vs ubuntu 12.04 ? [09:01] 11.04, natty, leontopod [09:01] ryevision, will tks [09:01] Newb: sometimes purging PA and then reinstalling after reboot might work [09:02] WhereIsMySpoon, in my KDE there are two different ways to set screen savers [09:02] I don't know why there are two. [09:02] goodnight guys ! [09:02] leontopod, screensavers are so 90's : / [09:02] But you might want to try both and see which one works better for you. [09:02] how do i change kernel on a liveusb? [09:02] whois ja1lulu [09:02] ryevision, How would I found out if my sound card is suported by pulse audio [09:02] I need to ensure the default included kernel of the live usb is NOT EVER used. [09:02] it hasa bug [09:03] ja1lulu: This channel is not for rating OSs. It's for Ubuntu technical support only (and only of released versions, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support). [09:03] ryannathans, a liveusb is running off the live cd, even with persistent you don't want a kerenel upgrade. [09:03] ryannathans: what loader do you use? [09:03] ok.. I'm sure you guys get this a lot.. How do I get the probe to check for Windows..? I've got it on a separate partition... [09:03] Fyodorovna: loader? I just dd? [09:03] sorry, [09:03] ryevision: [09:03] leontopod, im not running kubuntu, im running xubuntu as a window manager [09:03] ryannathans, good luck. === eddie is now known as Guest61159 === dusko is now known as fra_dolcino [09:04] ryevision: If you want an Ubuntu install on a USB drive, rather than just an Ubuntu installer, I highly recommend simply installing Ubuntu to the USB as you would to an internal drive. [09:04] RIPPING IDEA [09:04] WhereIsMySpoon, oh, well have fun with that! =D [09:04] install ubuntu to raid array with iomuu off [09:04] update kernel [09:04] enable iomuu [09:04] WhereIsMySpoon, you go! [09:04] leontopod, ? [09:04] thanks!!! [09:04] I am running Slackware with KDE 4 and my screensavers work! [09:05] im not USING kubuntu [09:05] so i dont see how thats relevant [09:05] hey, just sayin'! [09:05] shall i file a bug about this then? [09:05] you gotta do what you gotta do, WhereIsMySpoon [09:06] you're supremely unhelpful, leontopod [09:06] we aim to please! [09:06] Jordan_U: you probably wanted to assist ryannathans with that. but you are highly welcome to assist my problem as well :) [09:06] * WhereIsMySpoon slaps leontopod around the face with a wet haddock [09:07] hahaha [09:07] WhereIsMySpoon, I say for now, turn all screensavers OFF. [09:07] i have already === sins-_x is now known as sins === sins is now known as sins- [09:08] Jordan_U: I have set up pam to use fprint authentication as "sufficient" (two attempts before falling back to pam_unix). It works once logged in the system, but on first login, it fails twice to iniciate the finger scan and then only takes the password auth [09:08] running ubuntu 11.10. I can't get back to Windows. i've tried "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" to make changes but I'm getting nowhere [09:09] MrHarptastic: Ubuntu uses grub2, which no longer uses /boot/grub/menu.lst. [09:09] !grub2 | MrHarptastic [09:09] MrHarptastic: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [09:09] hey [09:09] Jordan_U: it is unlikely to be an udev issue, but still, hardware fails to read on first kdm use, though querried by pam [09:09] MrHarptastic: What happens when you try to boot Windows? [09:09] take a look at this! never expected that! Kristen Stewart to act topless in the movie "Are you Cumming?". Take a look at her leaked first topless photoshoot: http://leakyneuron.blogspot.in/ [09:10] Hi, [09:10] I am trying to install and test the YouTube Lens but requires the following package to run [09:10] http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/main/base/gir1.2-dee-0.5 [09:10] The problem being that it appears to have been pulled from the repository so as you would expect it fails to install any idea why anyone? [09:10] Thanks. [09:10] hot_wheelz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:10] I don't get the option.. I've tried everything at bios, but goes straight to to ubuntu. [09:11] Jordan_U, why was SuperNova banned? ^^ He's previously made trouble here? [09:11] ^^ [09:12] MrHarptastic: have you tried grub to autodetect your OS-es? [09:13] MrHarptastic: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? [09:13] I have not. I'm still fresh to ubuntu. going on 48 hours now..lol [09:13] lol its a nice first experience then MrHarptastic :D [09:14] WhereIsMySpoon: Their message was not appropriate for #ubuntu in itself, and I suspect that the link was mallicious as well (do *not* visit it). [09:14] yes it is..lol I'll try that Jordan ^^ [09:14] oh lol [09:14] Jordan_U, i didnt spot his spam [09:15] I'm getting: /dev/sdc1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain [09:15] [09:16] please, anyone knowledgeable in PAM authentication here? :( [09:16] I had to xkill VGA and now none of my windows have borders [09:16] (ubuntu 10.04) [09:16] how do I like restart/refresh the window environment [09:17] guys... what's the command again to format a hdd with NTFS? [09:17] sudo service restart gdm [09:17] MrHarptastic: Then try running "sudo update-grub" and after it's finished try rebooting. You should get a menu at boot allowing you to choose between Ubuntu and Windows. [09:17] nice. That's what I wanted [09:17] Ill try and report === max is now known as Guest98072 [09:18] ryevision: or yknow logging me out works too [09:19] other than creating a symboli link, how do I show mounted drives on the desktop in unity for 11.10?? [09:19] jtannenbaum: restarting system, or xserver fixes a lot of issues [09:20] when im running tutorials on java webased i lost my sound. i can't play music anymore but the sounds on the tutorial works [09:20] ? [09:20] oh god, java [09:20] Didn't work Jordan. It just booted back into ubuntu. [09:20] 11.10 gconf-editor doesnt have an option for desktop in apps > nautilus. Only desktop-metadata. [09:21] what is the best file transfer program for linux? [09:21] scp [09:21] seth: Filezilla [09:21] I use filezilla on windows [09:21] I disagree. The best file transfer program for linux is scp! [09:21] but didn't knowif there was a better one in linux [09:21] anyone here know how to setup a android dev setup on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ? the guide on the android site isn't working properly anymore. I was reading it deals with the RSA hack months ago and have not been fixed for the usage guide yet [09:22] scp works pretty well tbf [09:22] !best | seth [09:22] seth: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[09:23] iirc konqueror can be set up to be an ftp client [09:23] not sure though [09:23] ^^ === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [09:24] seth - i dont know, google it [09:24] MrHarptastic: Well that's odd. Just for reference this is very rare, and you're unfortunately going to have to get your hands dirty in your early introduction to Ubuntu. [09:24] seth: I like lftp on the command line, TRAMP in Emacs, my gf's daughter uses gftp, and filezilla is in the repos too if you like that [09:24] !info filezilla [09:24] filezilla (source: filezilla): Full-featured graphical FTP/FTPS/SFTP client.

If you need any clarification on any of the instructions feel free to ask. [09:25] !bootinfo | MrHarptastic [09:25] MrHarptastic: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at).

[09:28] ok, now I have to go looking for an ftp extension to firefox [09:28] I bet there is one! [09:28] Jordan_U, also, every time it crashes like this, my /etc/network/interfaces file gets corrupted [09:28] and i have to regenrate it [09:28] leontopod: and seth: that is why i chose filezilla coz it also has addon on firefox [09:29] have you tried other music players? [09:29] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireftp/ [09:29] tada!

Does anyone know where to configure the threshold for this warning? [09:29] WhereIsMySpoon: That makes absolutely no sense. I have no idea what is going on there.

[09:31] did you md5sum the iso first ? [09:31] Jordan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/871201/ [09:32] Xfce seems pretty much a sinking ship to me [09:32] yeee, I recovered my ecryptfs data :D [09:33] finally.. gnome tweak tool to get the mounted drives back on the desktop. That was the worst google search ever. Does anyone know of another way other than using gnome-tweak-tool to put the mounted drives on the 11.10 desktop? [09:33] There's a warning in Ubuntu that the full-charge capacity of the battery has dropped. Does anyone know where to configure the threshold for this warning? [09:33] Jordan_U: please, do you have any insides on that login problem i described? [09:33] zlynx1 have you checkd alexia mixer? or whatever its called? [09:34] ryevision: No, I don't. [09:34] Jordan_u: did you see my link? [09:34] just checking. [09:34] seth: no not yet, don't know about that ? i believe it's an issue with my sound ..just don't know how to troubleshoot .. [09:35] zlynx1: seth: alsa mixer yo mean? [09:35] yes [09:36] $ alsamixer [09:36] MrHarptastic: Yes. My guess is that grub is attempting to show a boot menu, and the boot menu is technically "there" for ten seconds, and you're just not able to see it for some reason. Do you see ten or more seconds of black screen during boot? [09:36] jasonmsp, it no longer mounts the drives on the desktop > I use 10.04 > that would be a bummer but you can always get to the drive through places I believe [09:36] zlynx1: you can check input/output volumes and PCM settings in alsamixer [09:36] had some problems with my sound and went there and messed around with settings [09:36] it's just an extended cli sound mixer [09:36] check if your PCM is not muted [09:37] hiexpo: thanks. I really need them on the desktop. gnome-tweak-tool worked to 'show mounted on desktop' but it would be nice to find another way to do it. [09:37] hey guys [09:37] alsamixer has almost every sound control so you should be able to trouble shoot it there [09:37] yeahhh [09:37] Hi to all! RAID problem on 12.04b1 - more: paste.ubuntu.com/869743 - any ideas? [09:37] Jordan_U: Absolutely. and that was something I was trying to figure out. My screen is blank and my monitor is putting out it's resolution settings for that 10 second period [09:37] !pangolin | Ch_Iossif [09:37] Ch_Iossif: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [09:37] I thought it was just loading or something..lol [09:37] ryevision & seth: they are 100% i can hear sounds on my webbase tutorials but not on my audacious or any sound client ... [09:37] jasonmsp, thats wierd cause my 10.04 auto does it [09:38] go through the settings [09:38] hiexpo: yes. I'm on 11.10 now. [09:38] hiexpo: 10.04 used to do it for me as well. [09:38] MrHarptastic: That is when the boot menu is (attempting to be) displayed :) [09:38] i have a problem im running windows 7 64-bit home premium and am unable to get the windows installer to run at all. Could you help please [09:38] zlynx1: in pulseaudio settings, check if you have right default backend selected [09:38] has to be conflicting sound outputs [09:38] hardware issue? [09:39] zlynx1: maybe your applications try read wrong backend [09:39] I did have some issues with my video card when I installed. [09:39] jasonmsp, thats why i stay with 10.04 if it is not broke why try to fix it [09:39] hello guys, have a problem here - although i installed mdbtools there is no open mdb file in libre base and google gived me no extra help [09:40] Jordan_U: I switched to the (recommended) video card driver when I installed [09:40] KrissyP!? [09:40] hiexpo: good rule. I was having problems though.. 11.10 has been great. =) [09:40] whoa [09:40] it's KrissyP! [09:40] naeh, bb folks [09:41] MrHarptastic: Let's try just setting a lower resolution in the grub menu. Run "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub". You should see a line like "#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" Remove the '#' to make it just "GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" (that uncomments the line), save the file, run "sudo update-grub" again, then reboot. [09:41] Jordan_U: On it [09:41] i don't think it's the problem on the settings of my sound client coz it was just working a while ago ..it stops working when i start running a webbase java tutorials === reith2004__ is now known as reith2004 [09:42] bb [09:44] Can anyone explain to me why the wubi windows installer for 11.10 does not load atm? Or could at least point me in the right direction? [09:45] Sharaak: Is there any reason not to do a standard dual boot install? [09:46] Is there anyone who knows about power saver? There's a warning in Ubuntu that the full-charge capacity of the battery has dropped (NOT the current charge level!). Does anyone know where to configure the threshold for this warning? [09:47] Woot! thanks Jason_U [09:47] << On windows. [09:47] There is no reason really but I would prefer to do it via windows and shouldnt the installer work anyhow? [09:47] MrHarpTastic: You're welcome :) === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [09:48] Sharaak: It should work, yes. But in general most people (myself included) recommend a normal dual boot install over a Wubi install.

[10:24] rexor: bottom line is if he uses a ppa (by downloading chrome) we can't support him, if he uses what is in the repo we can [10:24] small correction to my prev. post: i have purged the xorg-edgers ppa using ppa-purge and now i can't reinstall skype [10:24] #ubuntu-cn [10:24] no help?

[10:52] i've set it up, it's listening properly.. port 9001 listens.. i can telnet to it, but netbeans always says waiting for connecting [10:52] connection [10:53] damn tweetdeck work great on ubuntu [10:57] I've got a server with 3 NICs in it, but only one shows when doing ifconfig, what gives? [10:58] “System”->”Administrator”->”Services”: I cant find Services? I am using Ubuntu 10.04. [10:58] hello everyone! I am trying to run a *.bin file but can't can someone help? [10:59] Doxin, try iwconfig [10:59] florian__: what program is it? [10:59] it is a counter strike server [10:59] the file name is .hldsupdatetool.bin [11:00] i mad it executable by typing: chmod u+x hldsupdatetool.bin [11:01] then i try to run it wit: ./hldsupdatetool.bin [11:01] Doxin, then "ifconfig up" to activate it [11:01] florian__: chmod +x, not u+x [11:02] florian__: But anyway, what's the error? [11:02] Since I had some trouble with my wireless network I'm no longer able to store my wireless password in the gnome-keyring, which means I must enter it every time the computer boots. How can I fix this? [11:02] ok geirha, what is the difference, what does the x do [11:02] plouffe: thanks [11:02] florian__: +x makes executable [11:02] the error is that he cant find the file, sorry i cant copy the error its in german, but thats what it translates to [11:03] thanx mini [11:03] <_tasslehoff_> wohoo. copying /etc/rc*.d from a colleagues computer seems to have saved me. it managed to reboot, at least. [11:03] florian__: Actually, I read it as o+x which wouldn't have worked, but u+x should suffice. +x just makes it executable for all [11:03] is there a way to use gnome shell instead of unity?? i can't stand unity. [11:03] yes [11:03] ok geirha, thats what i thought [11:03] !nounity [11:03] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [11:03] seth: there [11:03] florian__: What does file ./hldsupdatetool.bin say? [11:04] netbeans+xcache debugging, zero issue setting it up on windows 7. Works. Same setup, won't work on ubuntu. Anyone got the f'n thing working? [11:04] I just installed dropbox via the software centre on Ubuntu 11-10. After a long time, the progress indicator still says applying changes. The progress indicator is still rotating but the bar graph is not getting any longer. What can I do?

[11:05] "Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" translates to: file or path cant be found [11:05] how do i do that geirha, im just learning === eddie is now known as Guest14295 [11:05] florian__: file ./hldsupdatetool.bin [11:05] ./hldsupdatetool.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped [11:06] on ubuntu, if i'm logged in.. and i say REBOOT... the thing logs me out .. does NOT reboot. why oh why? Why wouldn't it be called "LOG OUT" if that's what they wanted it to do? [11:06] im running a 64 bit system, but that shouldnt be the problem, right [11:06] florian__: So it's because you're trying to run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system, without having the 32 bit libraries/loader installed. [11:07] allright geirha, i thank you so much [11:07] florian__: You need to install libc6-i386 or ia32-libs or something like that. I can't check atm. [11:07] do you have a quik solution to that, otherwise ill do some research [11:07] ok thanks a lot, ill check it out [11:08] hello [11:08] how do we get help?

In which case I dont understand what you are asking. There doesnt seem to be any option in the menus to terminate the install [11:20] howdy everyone, can anyone help me with setting up a usb printer via command line? [11:20] Jon type top into terminal [11:20] I know my printer works with gutenprint, I'm just not entirely sure how to set it up using CUPS [11:21] droid-0854: OK. What am I looking at / for? [11:22] Something eating process resource [11:23] i need help enabling my wireless and bluetooth [11:23] If there is no package working you might try [11:23] droid-0854: OK. dropbox has 63% CPU. xorg has 15.7%, software-center has 12.5% [11:24] so it is still working and you can kill from top [11:25] I would leave it for now [11:25] Might be lagg [11:27] droid-0854: CPU is running at 85%. Mem: 1025944k total, 829844k used, 194708k free, 30264k buffers. Swap: 1574332k total, 98316k used, 1476016k free, 377072k cached. How long would you leave it before killing it? How do I kill it? === manu is now known as Guest75168 [11:28] droid-0854: I should clarify. CPU 87%us, 16%sy [11:28] With the letter k and the pid [11:29] droid-0854: Thanks. dropbox has been running now for 69 minutes. How long do you think I should leave it? [11:29] what's the bash for ssh'ing into port 7005 of a website? [11:30] Ewww um..... not my machine :( [11:30] Hi! any ideea how to make contiuous scroll (like in windows with click on weel) [11:31] Kill when you have given up. Restart the job [11:31] droid-0854: No, fair enough. Its a Pentium III laptop running at 1GHz with 1GB RAM. And which process would I kill, dropbox? [11:31] uhm is somebody here who is familiar with unity greeter? [11:31] anybody who can help me install a printer from command line? [11:32] TeodorM: are you talking about in a browser? [11:32] Jon, ya and software center [11:32] yes.. in browser.. or in a pdf file.. [11:33] TeodorM: depends on the application. For Firefox go to Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing > Use smooth scrolling [11:33] droid-0854: Thanks very much. [11:33] :) [11:35] thanks.. one more... [11:35] is there an easy command to remove ppa repos? The opposite of apt-add-repository [11:35] !ppa-purge | Haugi_ [11:35] Haugi_: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [11:36] Thanks ! [11:36] Haugi_: Synaptic > Settings > Repositories [11:36] Yeah, I know about synaptic, was just wondering if there was a way to remove it thats as easy as "apt-add-repository" [11:37] The colors in ubuntu apear diffrent from windows... the sky from pictures is not blue (like in windows)... and it is purple... why? [11:37] TeodorM: Windows have better graphics card support [11:38] is any way to solve the problem? [11:38] uh, not sure graphics card support is related to color rendering [11:38] I can't get into the HTTP side of CUPS, any suggestions anyone? [11:39] TeodorM: You could try getting a test card bitmap and then setup your graphics card and monitor settings [11:40] ok thaks [11:41] TeodorM: Your graphics card may allow you to adjust gain and gamma for all 3 colours. Monitor will probably have brightness, contrast and colour temperature settings. Might even have gamma [11:41] TeodorM: You will also find room lighting conditions affect what you see / adjust [11:42] TeodorM: You could also try taking a photo out the window, displaying that on your screen and then adjusting so the colours are similar to what you see looking out the window [11:44] TeodorM: Without specialist equipment or at least a light meter, setting up colour on screens is a bit of guesswork and trial and error until you like the result. Broadcasters spend a lot of time lining up critical monitors in studios with light meters, calibrated paper test cards etc. As far as I know that is the only way to get identical colour rendition on multiple systems [11:45] and all that doesn't matter, because I am color blind! [11:45] all that work for nothing! [11:45] =) [11:45] TeodorM: I know thats probably beyond the scope of what you want to do but you can probably google for information if you are interested in the process [11:45] yea .. thaks [11:45] :) [11:46] I like the color gray. Easy to configure [11:48] droid-0854: I remember setting up grayscale on projectors using a test card that had graduated brightness squares. If I remember correctly, you adjusted brightness so the 10% or 5% grey was only just distinguishable from black and the 90% or 95% grey only just distinguishable from white. I think you can probably also do the same for red, green and blue === iwoj_ is now known as iwoj [11:49] Jon, Imma use those tips [11:50] hey [11:50] Sorry that should be brightness so 5-10% grey is just distinguishable from black and adjust contrast so 90-95% grey is just distinguishable from white. Dont quote me on the numbers though. Cant really remember but Im sure there is some info on the net somewhere about calibrating monitors [11:50] wat up bitches [11:50] ha [11:50] ha [11:50] ha [11:50] jhills: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:52] TeodorM: You might find that works for you. Make a bitmap with graduated areas of grey, red, green and blue and adjust red, green and blue gain, plus brightness, contrast and gamma [11:52] Gunshots by computer [11:53] yea.. I plan to print a file like this.. and copare with moniotor [11:53] TeodorM: and droid-0854: You can find monitor test images at and information at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ [11:54] Enjoy!

Googled and couldn't find this ...

I could really use the help. My desktop/work computer is an oversized paperweight right now until I can determine how to reload the default display option, or clear it otherwise. [13:28] The 11.10 graphical installer does not recognize my (working) ethernet connection or my (working) windows partition. any advice on how to proceed? [13:28] since it is an icon-theme package, guess will have to do with other icon packages, probably the faenza icons? ive read one or two bad things about those [13:29] MonkeyDust you know ?

I want all three displays be be on same desktop (total res about ~6000x1080) [13:30] venon: to use 64 bit OS you must have at minimum a dual core processor [13:31] this is the output from apt:The following packages have unmet dependencies: [13:31] gnome-icon-theme-full: Depends: gnome-icon-theme (= 3.3.91-0ubuntu1) but 3.2.1.2-1ubuntu2 is installed gnome-icon-theme-symbolic: [13:31] wylde: I disagree [13:31] encrypt: that doesn't change what I said earlier [13:31] wylde: my intel atom netbook has 1 core. 64bit.

[13:32] ryannathans: true enough, regardless you have to have specific hardware to use 64 Bit [13:32] and core 2 duo ? :D [13:32] venon, core 2 duo is 64-bit. [13:33] so a single package is forcing me to do what, reinstall the OS???? [13:33] venon, core duo isn't. [13:33] but can i install 32 bit os ? or only 64 ? [13:33] encrypt: no, you can manually fix the dependency if you can [13:33] you can install both, venon. [13:33] venon: core2duo is a dual core cpu [13:33] encrypt: on paper though it "could" force you down that route [13:33] how, apt-get -f install does not do a thing [13:33] crashanddie ok ... but when i have only 32 bit cpu just 32 bit os ? [13:34] venon, yes. [13:34] encrypt: that's the issue, you'll have to manually work through the package dependencies and manage the packages rather than typing blindly apt-get -f install [13:34] crashanddie thanks :) [13:34] encrypt: depending on how the depencies are linked it may be easier/more realistic to re-install, it may not, you'd need to work it through [13:35] i have wifi working but eth0 wired cable not why ? [13:35] ryannathans: so that netbook uses an atom processor yes? [13:35] yes [13:35] I'm having a small problem with streaming HD flash videos... I'm using Oneric with several browsers and official flash plugins. I have an 8600gt with proprietary drivers and I can play any other HD videos just fine, so it's a flash problem. all of which have the same problem... the HD videos are choppy. Any advice?

[13:40] encrypt: it's not as simple as "re-install packages" as I said you need to follow/work through the dependencies, and remove/install/reinstall what's needed to resolve the dependencies [13:41] encrypt, you need to manually resolve the dependencies of the program you want to install/run [13:42] My package installer stalled all night for a handful of packages, & I want synaptic & the classic window switcher.

[14:10] #lubuntu [14:10] compdoc I don't expect lot of changes. HUD is here, new login screen is here. and still nothing special yet. [14:10] oops,sorry === mun_ is now known as mun [14:11] synaptic is my friend, definitely :) [14:12] I'm having a small problem with streaming HD flash videos... I'm using Oneric with several browsers and official flash plugins. I have an 8600gt with proprietary drivers and I can play any other HD videos just fine, so it's a flash problem. all of which have the same problem... the HD videos are choppy. Any advice? [14:12] such a shame faenza don't offer icons for 12.04 system-settings icons. [14:13] anyone know how to hibernate with ubuntu 11.10 gnome 3???

[14:14] wingie: Yes. [14:14] cwainey yep it's flash problem. I'm playing a flash browser based 3d game and sometimes pc even switching off suddenly. [14:14] hello [14:14] wingie, windows, yes, osx, no [14:15] We are from Poland ;-) [14:15] xD [14:15] MechanisM, what version of flash are you using and what web browser are you using? [14:15] student, sol [14:15] what's the best solution for it? [14:15] cwainey: Flash on Linux can be quite slow... The Linux/Mac versions are a lot more optimized [14:15] !best | wingie, but probably VirtualBox [14:15] wingie, but probably VirtualBox: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:15] cwainey: Oops, meant Windows [14:15] cwainey, what version of flash are you running and what web browser? [14:15] Siema Bogdan [14:16] crackerjackz browser is chromium 18+ and flash is 11.1+ [14:17] Running flash 11 on firefox, and running official google chrome, the latest version, with whatever come preinatalled. [14:17] crackerjackz flash 3d game causing high temperature. [14:17] hello everyone [14:17] Chrome keeps it's flash up to date by itself. [14:17] cwainey chrome != chromium [14:18] Thought they were separate builds? [14:18] all this hassle of upgrading to have a lts version, three years ahead of relax and joy [14:18] MechanisM, try opera with flash 10.3, i use a lot of video chat sites and facebook apps which often times use flash but i can not get those sites working with the newest version of flash. [14:18] 12.04 is in beta1 now [14:18] I have installed it [14:18] i have also noticed that opera is a little less buggier than firefox and chrome when it comes to flash [14:19] encrypt, And I hear that Precise will be 5 years for desktop. :-) [14:19] encrypt, beware what you wish.. if use use lts and want the latest and greatest capability of some newer package [14:19] crackerjackz: It shouldn't make a difference... The Flash plugin used by Opera/Firefox will be identical [14:19] crackerjackz no I don't like blind to read code opera and I need flash 11.1+ to support nice 3d accelerated by video card [14:20] yt372, you're right they do share the flash plugin but stickam.com works for me on opera.. and on firefox it doesn't [14:20] crackerjackz: have you tried gnash? [14:20] encrypt, This site tells alot about ubuntu, it's history and sorta' where it's going: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 [14:21] crackerjackz look at this http://alternativaplatform.com/en/showcase/ your flash 10 even can't handle it. [14:21] hypershock, in the past i have... [14:21] hypershock: Are you seriously suggesting gnash as more reliable than the properitary Flash? That's a joke... [14:21] crackerjackz: have you tried it lately to see if it solvers your problem? [14:22] hypershock, yes [14:22] hypershock gnash can't deal with serious flash [14:23] MechanisM, well how come a lot of websites i use will not render when i'm using the latest flash plug in? [14:23] yt372: yes, i am actually. I use chrome all the time, but when I use firefox to test my website, often times it would complain despite the lastest adobe flash plugin being installed, but I just recently installed gnash again and it stopped complaining. however, i do have both installed. [14:23] hypershock, nice stew there [14:23] hypershock: That sounds more like a problem with your configuration than anything to do with gnash/adobe's plugins [14:24] yt372: i don't have a problem, i like my stew. :) [14:24] hypershock, i can help you with your website === matt_ is now known as matter9 [14:24] sidewinder, thanks for the info, will have a look for proper moves on my future OS's quests, actually i have some space reserved for a new baby in my drive..

[14:25] crackerjackz: really, like how? the flash elements are from my affiliate: amazon, so i have no control over why gnash was needed ff to make it work. however, like I said i prefer chrome for browsing.

[14:25] so anyone know ppa for latest chromium? ex daily-builds? I know and currently using https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa, but their "daily build" ended in january [14:25] hypershock, so your website is all in mxml? [14:26] mxml code [14:26] crackerjackz mxml is flex [14:26] MechanisM, which is for flash right? [14:26] yep correct [14:26] I'm ex flex dev [14:27] i learned a little bit about flex played around with it for a couple days never really got too deep into it though i had too many other projects going on at the time MechanisM === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [14:27] cwainey, read the link i posted [14:28] At last update-manager finished its task!! thanks ikonia but thanks to synaptic!

[14:29] TeodorM, sounds like a problem with flash to me [14:30] crackerjackz nope. flash still have some features html5 never will reach, but a lot of platforms going to finish support flash. [14:30] so.. reinstall flash? [14:30] TeodorM yep reinstall flash plugin [14:30] and restart browser [14:31] hamed [14:31] XLV Checkbox says hardware acceleration enabled, but video info says it's not being used.......

[14:35] johnm gimme chrom dev channel pp pls [14:35] cypher-neo: exactly the same treason I stopped [14:35] _Marcus: Chrome/Chromium exists within Ubuntu, so it was on-topic [14:36] is this live chat?? [14:36] MechanisM: http://www.google.com/landing/chrome/beta/ [14:36] teknosuper: This is the official Ubuntu support channel. If you just want to chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic or #defocus [14:36] and i add lp b43 in etc/modules [14:36] <_Marcus> This is the Ubuntu support channel, yt372. Not the Ubuntu Software Discussion channel. If you want to talk about that, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:36] yt372: suggesting a webdev not use one of the most popular browsers on the web through unfounded claims of its insecurities is off topic. [14:36] teknosuper, No, it's actually delayed by a few nanoseconds so what we type can be input into the system. [14:37] <_Marcus> johnm: I wouldn't recommend it for that anyway. Chrome has low HTML5 support. [14:37] _Marcus: but its still very popular and therefore something any webdev presumably needs to test with regardless :) [14:37] <_Marcus> johnm: Yeah [14:38] #/ubuntu-offtopic [14:38] Can someone tell me what this error message means? I keep getting this message when I update. http://paste.ubuntu.com/871524/ [14:39] If I want to make changes to my mouse config file to operate differently, what file am I to change?

[14:41] <_Marcus> yt372: Chrome has changed from webkit. They still use it as a base, but it's different. [14:42] cypher-neo, no, it just complains for some unknown or not set up correctly mime types [14:42] XLV, I don't feel compelled to edit it away. I just wanted to make sure that it was updating okay. [14:42] XLV- worked. thanks. [14:42] XLV, Winamp... hahaha! [14:42] ls- l [14:42] wrong window and a typo.. sorry [14:43] cypher-neo, blasphemy [14:43] XLV, I was wondering why it was complaining about winamp when I was updating chromium. === chad is now known as cwainey [14:43] cypher-neo, just another mime type, it parses that whole kde.xml and complains about any not setup correctly mime type it finds in there [14:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/871515/ why my wired net not working but wifi working [14:44] now.... idk if I have any hope at all, but does anybody know of a way to access the itunes store in linux? does itunes work in wine? [14:45] cwainey: Older versions do I believe [14:47] 8-) [14:47] If I want to make changes to my mouse config file to operate differently, what file am I to change? [14:48] has anybody else experienced this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/89606/gnome-terminal-doesnt-refresh === rafa_ is now known as Guest19908 [14:48] it is incredibly frustrating. === Guest19908 is now known as kike [14:48] roasted, I think you want your mouse to operate differently, and not your mouse configuration file. [14:49] satyanash: well I'm working with Ubuntu on a Macbook, where touchpads act.. well... terrible. I found on Google someone suggested to type in terminal 2 commands, synclient fingerlow and synclient fingerhigh. Once I did that, the touchpad works GREAT, but this isn't permanent unless I add these entries to the mouse config file or whatever... I'm just not sure what that is. [14:49] pestilence: Have you tried other terminal emulators? xfce4-terminal is similar to gnome-terminal, for instance. [14:50] roasted, you could put them in scripts, and make them autorun whenever you login. [14:50] theadmin: I have tried rxvt and mrxvt. they both have the problem, although it is less severe. [14:50] !info terminator | pestilence [14:50] pestilence: terminator (source: terminator): multiple GNOME terminals in one window. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.95-1 (oneiric), package size 226 kB, installed size 1884 kB [14:50] satyanash: I could do that, however I'm curious if I could just edit the mouse file and be done with it... [14:50] roasted, then edit it [14:50] pestilence: Hm, does it persist in non-Unity desktops? [14:50] roasted, somebody else might know it then. [14:50] pestilence: did you read the forums post where people said that using a different nVidia driver solved the issue? [14:51] mneptok: not sure what that has to do with my problem. [14:51] XLV: okay, and again I'm asking - which file.... [14:51] pestilence: try another terminal emulator [14:51] XLV: the documentation didn't say which file, it just said edit the synaptics file or whatever to make it permanent. [14:51] pestilence: and temrinator is a good one [14:51] roasted: Put the commands in a script and add the script to startup apps, that's all [14:51] mneptok: it is based on gnome-terminal...how is that a different emulator? [14:52] theadmin: did it ever occur I'm trying to learn this out of sake of curiosity as well? Which... file... would... need... to... be... edited... [14:52] mneptok: yes, I have updated the nvidia driver. I did not try using the ultra old one that was recommended in the forum [14:52] roasted: There likely is none? [14:52] theadmin: there is. [14:52] positive of it. [14:52] theadmin: i have not tried it in non-Unity desktops. I only have unity installed. [14:52] I just forget which one. [14:52] roasted: Or maybe xorg.conf, but I'm not sure [14:52] I thought this would be an easy question in here? [14:52] theadmin: i am going to try logging into the 2D desktop to see if that changes anything. [14:52] pestilence: well, that forum post specifically says that a particular incarnation of the nVidia proprietary drivers are responsible for the issue. [14:53] \ http://paste.ubuntu.com/871515/ why my wired net not working but wifi working [14:53] mneptok: that forum post is 3.5 years old. you really think I should try installing a driver that was old when that post was made? [14:53] bonjour nous sommes [14:53] pestilence: i think you should try the "nouveau" FLOSS driver. [14:54] R5A: Anglais seulement en cette canal, STP. [14:55] pestilence: guake is dead handy if you use terminal a lot [14:55] guake ? [14:55] ActionParsnip: i have not tried guake [14:55] So, anyway, still trying to figure out which file I am to edit to adjust the behavior of my mouse. Where would it be? [14:56] it does seem that logging into the 2D desktop (sans compiz) has eliminated the problem. I really like some of the compiz effects though. [14:56] e.g. the keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+alt+numpad left [14:57] quit [14:57] pestilence: its great, hides and shows with F12 by default.You can kick off a long running command and then hide the terminal and get on with stuff, then show it again to see how things is going :) [14:57] WOW! GUAKE is _Awesome_. [14:57] Just checked out its screenshots. [14:57] mneptok: is the nouveau driver useable? [14:57] satyanash: very (yakuake is the KDE equiv) [14:57] it can act as a replacement for dmenu, synapse, etc.. [14:57] with the features of a terminal. [14:57] satyanash: tilda is a lighter version, good for Lubuntu /Xubuntu [14:57] wow. [14:57] pestilence: i don't use it (i have ATI) but AFAIK it is very usable, just no 3D. [14:58] satyanash: should be default imho [14:58] "just no 3D" means no compiz, correct? [14:58] pestilence: correct [14:58] which would totally defeat the purpose :) [14:59] roasted, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Synclient [14:59] pestilence: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [14:59] Why didn't I see this before! [14:59] ActionParsnip: oneiric [14:59] pestilence: what GPU do you use? [14:59] XLV: THANK YOU! [14:59] satyanash: every day is a school day [15:00] how i can upagrade my xubuntu 9.10 on 10.04 [15:00] ActionParsnip: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) [15:00] XLV: drat, this must be old. doesn't exist. [15:00] XLV: oh, I see why. It's Arch. :/ [15:00] roasted, maybe you need to create it [15:00] semixx best is to fresh install [15:00] roasted, its the same in ubuntu [15:00] XLV: I'm not sure I do. I thought I remember seeing it. [15:00] pestilence: which driver are you using? nvidia-settings will tell ou [15:00] XLV: evidently not. xorg.conf.d doesn't exist in X11. [15:01] ActionParsnip: 295.20 [15:01] pestilence: how did you install it? [15:01] Hello! [15:01] monkeyDust:i have no cd [15:01] Semixx Go to ubuntu.com and download the the 10.04 release. then burn to cd [15:01] !upgrade [15:01] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [15:02] ActionParsnip: myself. the driver is installed correctly, that much I can assure you. And installing the official "restricted" drivers yields the exact same result. [15:02] pestilence: I believe the 295 is beta [15:02] Hey all… just found out my Ubuntu-based VPS has been compromised… I'm not a sysadmin expert… any advice? [15:03] ActionParsnip: that may be, but this bug seems to be in *all* nvidia drivers and/or compiz [15:03] but i want upagrade on xubuntu 10.04 [15:03] pestilence: report a bug then [15:03] semixx repeat from ubottu : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:03] <_Marcus> mstenta: Compromised how? [15:03] roasted, http://askubuntu.com/questions/80488/sluggish-unresponsive-trackpad-on-pre-unibody-macbook-pro .. read that [15:03] I noticed that SSHd wasn't working… so I went in through Webmind, and found a bunch of python scripts running these: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3624521/svcrack-py-and-svwar-py [15:03] ActionParsnip: because I tried both of the versions offered by the restricted driver installer first [15:03] I installed ubuntu about a month ago, and at that time I had changed the permissions of dmidecode executable so that it would work with conky correctly, now I cant remember what permissions i had given, I also have no idea where that executable is located, can someone freshen me up? [15:03] pestilence, for the record, how did you get the 295.20 driver to install? the download wouldn't work for me [15:04] ActionParsnip: i can do that. I am guessing that the people there are going to point out the same thing that you just pointed out and force me to remove the beta driver. [15:04] <_Marcus> mstenta: First, delete the files(if they aren't yours of course) [15:04] mi3: /usr/sbin/dmidecode? === Xeneth is now known as Xeneth_studying [15:04] cwainey: i got it from the nvidia website. it is not recommended unless you are very comfortable with working without X [15:04] why is wunderlist not working? [15:04] pestilence: worth a shot, you can get the stable 290 driver from the xorg edgers update ppa (less fresh more stable0 [15:04] pestilence: beta quality closed source software tends to meet with cool receptions on FLOSS bugtrackers. [15:04] _Marcus: ok… i shut down the server temporarily, until i could figure out the right steps to take. i know what user they are running under… should i try to ban ssh access for that user somehow? [15:05] mstenta: you should reinstall imo [15:05] mneptok: fair enough, but until we get some compromise on the nvidia driver that's the world we live in. [15:05] monkeyDust:tnx [15:05] <_Marcus> mstenta: First, find the IP they are connecting with [15:05] <_Marcus> mstenta: Write that down so you can keep track of it. [15:05] Twinkletoes I got the executable but I cant recollect how I changed the permissions from the terminal [15:05] Can anyone help me with a cron / gnome-scheduler question? [15:06] pestilence, well, i tried to download the file, and the archive always dl'd as corrupt.... i got the 275.something release from the site, and it installed fine. [15:06] _Marcus: how do I find that? [15:06] mi3: Do you want to know HOW to change the permissions? [15:06] semixx this is a direct howto link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Karmic [15:06] does anyone have succes getting wunderlist working on 12.04? [15:06] pestilence: quite right. but until things change, keep your body armor on. ;) [15:06] yeah a little Twinkletoes [15:06] drumusician #ubuntu+1 [15:06] pestilence, I really have no problem working without X, I just couldn't get it to download. in any browser [15:06] mi3: chmod 755 /usr/sbin/dmidecode [15:06] mi3: That will set you back to the defaults [15:06] <_Marcus> mstenta: I don't know about that. I'll find out in just a second [15:06] cwainey: dunno. i could send it to you. [15:07] _Marcus: thanks! [15:07] pestilence, that would be much appreciated :P [15:07] mi3: It should also be owned/group-owned by root/root [15:07] <_Marcus> mstenta: There is the command "last". You have to log into that account over SSH though [15:07] I am trying to add a scheduled task to cron. Didn't think it would be this difficult. I am trying to have cron execute TWO commands in order every 6 hours. [15:07] cypher-neo: do you have a desktop UI? [15:08] When I test the configuration though, it only executes the first command. It doesn't execute the second [15:08] <_Marcus> mstenta: So just log into the account over SSH, and type "last". There will be a list of who connected from where the past I dont know times [15:08] <_Marcus> mstenta: Enough to help you [15:08] ActionParsnip, GNOME-Shell [15:08] cwainey: give me a few minutes. [15:08] pestilence, thanks much [15:08] ActionParsnip, And I was using gnome-schedule as a frontend to cron [15:08] _Marcus: ok… once i know that, is there a way to ban everyone from logging in temporarily? so i can download logs before they can possibly be deleted? [15:08] I'm on ubuntu 11.10 and I just upgraded my video card. I removed the old drivers and activated the new video ATI driver. Now most boots are a blank screen or jsut a blinking cursor [15:09] <_Marcus> mstenta: Are you using ufw for your firewall? [15:09] cypher-neo: good enough, there is gnome-schedule you can use to schedule tasks. If the command needs croning as root run it with gksudo [15:09] it just drives me nuts when basic functionality is broken when i install a new system. how can people put up with a terminal that doesn't refresh properly? i don't get it. [15:09] <_Marcus> mstenta: Wait. Are you at the machine physically? [15:09] _Marcus: yea, pretty sure [15:09] ActionParsnip, I already got the root command to run. The problem I'm having is... [15:09] Twinkletoes, I am looking at the dmidecode properties, the Owner is root and has read and write selected, Group is read only, Others is also read only and the executable option is selected, which command i might have used? [15:09] _Marcus: no, it's a Rackspace VPS [15:09] can someone explain how "use best server" works, and how I might replicate this behavior? [15:09] <_Marcus> mstenta: They you wont be able to log in if you block all connections. [15:10] ActionParsnip, I want it to run this command every six hours: "sudo apt-get update && source ~/.bashrc" [15:10] L3top_: i believe it's ping or maybe a small download from each [15:10] _Marcus: right, so maybe just start by blocking the user that seems to be compromised? [15:10] ActionParsnip, It runs the first command perfectly! The second does not run. The window closes before it runs. [15:10] cypher-neo: I'd put that in a scipt, then cron the script [15:10] mi3: I dunno what command you might have used, but if you want to reset the perms back to default, use my chmod command previously [15:10] cypher-neo: why do you need to run the source command? [15:11] <_Marcus> mstenta: Yeah. In the OpenSSH file you should have "DenyUsers replaceThisNameWithUser" [15:11] <_Marcus> You need to put that in there [15:11] ActionParsnip, I have a few peculiar bash scripts that are very useful. And to execute them all, I source it and they all run. [15:11] <_Marcus> mstenta: That is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [15:11] mstenta, i'd backup and reinstall [15:11] mstenta, you cant trust that install anymore [15:11] ActionParsnip, So make a .sh file out of the commands and schedule that file to run? [15:12] ActionParsnip: does it use mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt xxx and then ping from there? [15:12] <_Marcus> mstenta: Oh. XLV is correct. [15:12] _Marcus: ok… i originally got tipped off to this because the ssh server was down, though… and Webmin said /etc/ssh/sshd_config was misisng [15:12] cypher-neo: the file extension means very little in Linux [15:12] XLV: thanks, yea, I'm planning on nuking it once I get my stuff off [15:12] <_Marcus> mstenta: Uh oh O.o [15:12] cypher-neo: a script is a text file with the top line: #!/bin/bash which is executable [15:12] cypher-neo: just make sure you chmod +x nameofscript [15:13] help [15:13] <_Marcus> mstenta: You shuold back up important things, like if you run a httpd server, back up all of that [15:13] <_Marcus> mstenta: And webmin too [15:13] <_Marcus> mstenta: I think Webmin has a tool to do that. [15:13] I upgraded my vid card to radeon hd6670 and now I get a blank screen. Anyone seen this? [15:13] L3top_: not sure, but i'd imagine that's what it would do. You could use wireshark to monitor your traffic to see [15:13] _Marcus: webmin isn't compatible with Ubuntu [15:13] mstenta: you should also attempt to figure out how it was compromised, otherwise it will just happen again [15:14] ActionParsnip, Couldn't I just point it directly to my bashrc file and let it run it? [15:14] Hi [15:14] mstenta: webmin isn't compatible with ubuntu [15:14] is there a way to capture the output of commands run on multiple servers using cssh ? [15:14] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: What do you mean "isn't compatible"? It's not official, but it works still [15:14] Does there anyone know about power manager? There's a warning in Ubuntu that the full-charge capacity of the battery has dropped. Does anyone know where to configure the threshold for this warning? [15:14] _Marcus and jrib: k, yea like I said before, I shut down the server, so nothings running right now… i'm just trying to figure out the best next steps when i turn it back on [15:14] !webmin | _Marcus [15:14] _Marcus: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [15:14] ActionParsnip, It's executable afaik, and it's the script I want to have run. [15:14] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: We have an Ubuntu server here(11.10) and we installed webmin just fine on it, using a tutorial online [15:14] Twinkletoes, I dont want to get back to defaults else how will I load it conky? here is the snapshot [15:14] mstenta: I would allow ssh access only for your current ip [15:14] hmmmm... that means installing ubu... we use kubu for our base... so all of my machines are on kubu. [15:14] ActionParsnip: I had webmin running fine on it… it's Ubuntu [15:14] _Marcus: its not compatible which is why its not in the repos [15:14] wait let it get uploaded [15:14] When installing sabnzbdplus I want to use my filesystem\data as download location, but when I type Data/NZB it creates a folder in my Home folder [15:15] When I install Ubuntu (11.10) via LiveCD, is the kernel being installed built during installation or is it pre-compiled? [15:15] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Well it works :/ [15:15] mi3: then what is it that you want to do? [15:15] mstenta: it can break things, its why it was taken out of the repos [15:15] ActionParsnip, Never mind... Forget that last question [15:15] !ebox | _Marcus [15:15] _Marcus: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [15:15] I just want to know how to make that file read only [15:15] hey, how do you list running processes in the term? [15:16] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: It may break things, but we don't have a GUI, nor do we want one, and webmin is good because we can go to it online [15:16] cwainey - i prefer "ps -ef" [15:16] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: It may not be supported, but you do have you have to sometimes [15:16] mi3: chmod ugo-w /usr/sbin/dmidecode [15:16] ActionParsnip: could it be the reason my server got hacked? [15:16] _Marcus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebMin [15:16] mstenta: its an open listening port so will reduce security [15:16] that will make it read only? [15:16] mi3: Yes [15:17] owa down [15:17] _Marcus: I can only tell you what the official ubuntu documentation says, but what do they know, huh? [15:17] will conky be able to access and run it? [15:17] is there some app, which can store places like shops/restaurants etc, which I likely or would like to visit in future? this should be able to store there pic, contact info, gps-location etc…and above of all, should provide searching mechanism to those….so is there some any app for doing this..? [15:17] <_Marcus> ActionParnsip: :P [15:17] mi3: You need to learn about permissions if you're going to play around with things like this [15:17] cypher-neo: if you make the script and cron the script, it will run. The source command really isn't needed [15:17] mi3 should take Twinkletoes advice [15:17] When installing sabnzbdplus I want to use my filesystem\data as download location, but when I type Data/NZB it creates a folder in my Home folder, how do I make it use the data folder I have on File System [15:17] <_Marcus> ActionParnsip: I know Ubuntu doesn't support Webmin, but I use it because we need it. Everyone here cant be bothered to learn how to use httpd on the command line. [15:18] mi3: The fact that you're asking means you probably shouldn't be doing what you're doing. However, if you want to learn about permissions, you could start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_permissions [15:18] abhinavmehta I would suggest to use some website for this purpose. [15:18] :( [15:18] Any expert on power manager here? [15:18] _Marcus: if you do your skills will be transferable as you can administer commands using CLI [15:19] wat do u guys think is the best FTP server package i should use? [15:19] vsftpd? [15:19] !poll | Trevor69420 [15:19] <_Marcus> Tevor69420: Yes. [15:19] Trevor69420: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:19] Trevor69420 yep I'm using it [15:19] Twinkletoes your permissions command will make it look like this? http://imagebin.org/202211 bcos thats how my current permissions of the dmidecode file looks like[ i have not applied your command but have taken note of it] === raf is now known as kike [15:19] mi3: That file in it's default permissions (the ones I gave you earlier) is readable and executable by anybody anywhere on the system [15:20] mi3: that image doesn't give me the permissions [15:20] When I install Ubuntu (11.10) via LiveCD, does it ship with a prebuilt (binary) kernel or is the kernel built *during installation? [15:20] dRealm: Prebuilt [15:20] FileZilla [15:20] dRealm: Ubuntu is largely a binary distro, you almost never have to compile anything [15:21] i wonder how I allowed conky to execute dmidecode Twinkletoes === L3top_ is now known as L3top [15:21] mi3: Because that's the default setting for that file [15:21] dRealm: its prebuilt binary [15:21] mi3: It's readable and executable by "other/world" [15:21] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: I've used command line all the time. I even removed it from Ubuntu just so I could have the Ubuntu Server feel without having Ubuntu Server. On the other hand, someone else here is used to Windows, and barely has to use the command line there. They didn't want to learn how to use the command line really well, because it would take too long. [15:22] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: And because we didn't want a GUI using up resources, we used Webmin, because we can access it on other machines. [15:22] _Marcus: think of it as an investment. [15:22] anyhow I have taken note of both the commands and I will apply them when I need to re install conky and start dmidecode Twinkletoes[ 1st i should apply the sudo 755 command right?] [15:22] _Marcus, and that other has to maintain the server? [15:22] <_Marcus> XLV: Yes. [15:22] _Marcus: webmin isn't compatible. Zentyal is compatible and in the repos. [15:22] <_Marcus> XLV: But they don't work with httpd on command line [15:23] <_Marcus> !zentyal > _Marcus [15:23] _Marcus, please see my private message [15:23] mi3: To change file permissions, use the 'chmod' command. [15:23] theadmin, and this includes most of the .deb packages (being precompiled) right? If I am not mistaken, all it does it downloads/fetches the dependencies and copies them to the right locations [15:23] How do I get a terminal if I boot to a blank screen? Is there a key combo I need? [15:23] dRealm: Correct, .deb packages are binary as well. [15:23] thanks Twinkletoes appreciated your help! [15:24] !text | lamofgodrocksYEA [15:24] lamofgodrocksYEA: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [15:24] mi3: 'sudo' just requests elevated privs when running that command, which you may/may not need [15:24] try CTRL+ALT+f6 [15:24] mi3: you're welcome [15:24] how would you search for bugs about the dialog when you hit alt+f2? what search terms would you use? [15:24] pestilence: run-dialog [15:24] _Marcus: Webmin is a gigantic security silhouette. [15:24] waxstone, can I get there from recovery mode? [15:25] I installed lightdm on my ubuntu natty 11.04 and I switched to it but it does not show me the default background ,instead it shows me a blue background with no mouse and I have to operate everything by keyboard, any suggestions? I removed lightdm, but if I get some suggestions I might re install lightdm again. [15:25] it only says read only options [15:25] mi3: What flags did you use when compiling? === Mud is now known as Guest69154 [15:25] you need panel to control server? [15:25] mneptok^ [15:25] ottu> lamofgodrocksYEA: i dont know but you can also try the method described by ubottu above [15:25] mneptok try out http://ajenti.org [15:25] _Marcus: i would no sooner let someone with no CLI experience admin a Unix box than i would get on an airplane with a "pilot" that requires an autopilot to land the plane. [15:26] lamofgodrocksYEA: what GPU do you use? Nice nick btw \m/ [15:26] mneptok, bad analogy [15:26] yt372 I dont know how to compile I just added a repo and installed all the packages [15:26] jrib: that doesn't yield a useful search unfortunately. tons of completely unrelated bugs [15:26] MechanisM: why would i want that exactly? [15:26] pestilence: include the package responsible for it [15:26] ActionParsnip, Thanks! I've upgraded to radeon hd 6670. Now my screen is blank [15:26] I got the repo from the web yt372 [15:27] lamofgodrocksYEA: is this on the install CD or is it an installed OS? [15:27] mneptok you talked about webmin so I thought you want admin panel [15:27] * mneptok thinks MechanisM has gotten turned around a bit [15:27] jrib: what package is that? [15:27] pestilence: I don't know [15:28] jrib: looks like somebody already filed it. thank god.

Remove: quiet splash and add: nomodeset [15:29] no pestilence [15:29] I did a stupid. anyone know how I can reinstall plymouth? [15:30] I installed lightdm on my ubuntu natty 11.04 and I switched to it but it does not show me the default background ,instead it shows me a blue background with no mouse and I have to operate everything by keyboard, any suggestions? I removed lightdm, but if I get some suggestions I might re install lightdm again. [15:30] spartan2276: does the webcam work in cheese? [15:30] mi3: you said that [15:30] cwainey: sudo apt-get --reinstall install plymouth [15:30] even if you type in the full path to the executable, it *still* doesn't run it. e.g. alt+f2 -> /usr/bin/empathy doesn't run /usr/bin/empathy! [15:30] ikonia maybe someone might notice it the second time [15:30] mi3: people noticed it the first time - that's why they responded to you [15:31] ActionParsnip: I think I may have a bigger issue it just said if I would like to install these packages(cheese) without verification [15:31] ikonia maybe i can freshen them up again [15:31] whats up fellas === nocsutud_ is now known as zod21 [15:32] ActionParsnip: so I guess the Key from the Ubuntu servers is messed up [15:32] spartan2276: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update [15:32] spartan2276: you probably added a PPA and not the key [15:33] mi3: please don't just keep posting the same question/info wait around 15 minutes between posts, or it ends up with you just spamming the channel [15:33] !repeat [15:33] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

I know what package broke it, and I uninstalled that package, I need to know how to set the resolution back to default. [15:39] lamofgodrocksYEA: what video chipset? is this an APU? [15:39] if I have a patch for a package , and apply it in the deb package I guess I I have to remake the package, so prolly easier to give tio upstream... shouldn't ldap slappasswd lacking the "" for password be patche dby now.

[15:40] phx79: if your Outlook server does POP or IMAP, they all are. [15:40] cwainey: Yeah, unless you have a broken/very old X setup (unlikely) [15:41] MonkeyDust: ok, i'll try it. [15:41] phx79: compatible in what way? [15:41] our office uses outlook anywhere for remote email to the outlook client, pop3 & imap are disabled for security [15:41] phx79: do you mean compatible with Exchange? [15:41] ye well. that could take ages I guess bluefrog. hmm. I left ubuntyu after their/your farseof trying to push on people this G3, or unity or what it was but since I am runnig a server I thought ubuntu will be nice so I am back :x [15:41] mneptok, It is a diamond radeon hd 6670 [15:41] phx79: oh you meant COMPARABLE [15:42] ActionParsnip, yes but with the functionality that outlook anywhere gives you also [15:42] ActionParsnip is it really a bug or is it meant to be that way?

[15:42] Should I be using ATI FireGL or Video driver for ADM graphics accellorators? I've got a diamond radeon hd 6670 [15:42] mi3: not sure, I've always use the default login managr because I don't really care about something I see for 3 seconds. [15:43] lamofgodrocksYEA: FYI, the ATI proprietary drivers render my system unbootable. but i'm using an E-350 APU. new stuff. [15:43] ok.. sorry [15:43] phx79: try Evolution is all I can suggest [15:43] evolution with exchange mapi only works while i am in the office and not out & about where as outlook with RPC over HTTP works everywhere [15:43] phx79 what's wrong with Evolution or Thunderbird? [15:44] they just aren't good enough [15:44] yeah thats right why do bother about that login window? there are tons of things to be done after logging in, right? ActionParsnip [15:44] phx79: so ... a sysadmin decided to disable IMAP and POP due to "security concerns," but chose Outlook as a platform? that's precious. [15:44] maybe I should forget about this lightdm stuff [15:44] do you have to log out/log in to make CCSM changes take effect? [15:45] pestilence try and you know [15:45] pestilence, no [15:45] with mapi you also get calendars and contacts, pop and imap you don't [15:45] ActionParsnip: ok installed cheese, ran it and I get no devices found [15:45] mi3: anything on the screen that brifly I have very little interest in, like changing the wallpaper on the login screen etc. [15:45] spartan2276: then the cam isn't configured [15:45] uh huh [15:45] phx79, if not mistaken a simple browser should be enough [15:46] spartan2276: run: lsusb and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [15:46] phx79: you're not getting mail, calendars or contacts ATM. so it's hardly a case of better functionality. [15:46] anyone know how to give write access to sabnzb ? [15:46] ActionParsnip: but it was working before this morning [15:46] i am as i am using W7 for work [15:46] bye and thanks! [15:46] i am as i am using W7 for work [15:46] well exchange then doesn\t work as well with linux standards ahead of their windows only stuff? [15:47] ye ok.. I would recommend then setting up a linux server then, instead of a limited windows server domain perhaps? [15:47] phx79: then i think that's the answer. choose a Microsoft platform, buy into the lock-in and live with it. [15:47] you can use W7 easily with openldap/kerberos say etc [15:48] mail servers which give you protocols to use with webmail or so.. so you should be able to have your email outside of office, yes [15:48] phx79: you could, as a Microsoft customer, ask them to fully open their MAPI specs so that others can benefit. [15:48] but you will have to configure it and if you can\t , hire a linux man you cheapskate tool [15:48] phx79 or post your idea here http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [15:48] webmail is only useful if you have internet 100% of the time [15:48] mali: perjoratives are most unwelcome.

LOL. No I really doubt that it will solve the issue as I rebooted it this morning after a software update [15:50] Is it possible to locally build a package for oneiric from bzr branch on precise, using buildeb plugin ? [15:51] ritz better ask in the precise channel #ubuntu+1 [15:51] thanks [15:51] so , if I patch the openldap src here locally for my server. What happens when I apply it and/or you finally would patch it (as it doesn't seem it has). Say youpatch problems A..C and I patch A, D, F... should I then turn off your updates to avoid mine getting overwritten? [15:52] Argh. Somebody deleted my response to http://askubuntu.com/questions/89606/gnome-terminal-doesnt-refresh and then protected the question. And i have a solution for it now. [15:52] mali that question sounds beyond this channel, i guess nobody ever tried it [15:52] ritz, usually the best thing is to just try.. sometimes something changes and it wouldn't work I would imagine.. other times it works quite ok, ior you manage to find where it breaks and create a patch to make it work [15:52] that is incredibly aggrivating. people are wayyy to overprotective. [15:52] LOL.. what is this channel then? [15:53] wow [15:53] mali simple support [15:53] Hey [15:53] does anybody in here have the ability to unprotect questions in askubuntu.com? [15:53] ah ok.. you have normal support too? [15:53] mali I am trying to fix an upstream bug, not very sure how to build a patched package or pass prefix/other options to configure script to match against local env [15:53] I'm trying to debug a piece of software that continues to change one of my directory's permissions... I know that it's the php user, but any thoughts how to isolate this? [15:54] well, you could certainly try to pass it to upstream but don't know how quickly it would trickle back into ubuntu [15:54] the double whammy is that they deleted my response, but left several responses which are totally unhelpful "Try guake!"... === cjdavis is now known as Ebony [15:54] ritz: The development channel is #ubuntu-devel , you could ask there [15:54] okay.. I broke my ubuntu. When I try to boot into a recovery console, drop into a tty prompt, or otherwise do something to get out of X I get a out of range error on my monitor. [15:54] I would say look up how to make packages... then download the deb package, extract source.. edit the conf options you wish to try out, change... try to compile [15:55] cwainey: what GPU do you use? [15:56] cwainey: you need to blacklist nouveau [15:56] when fails or not.. troubleshoot, then package it with a custon name I would guess ot avoid getting overwritten but ye.. now I think of it.. ritz, is this serve ror desktop? if desktop I would recommend going archlinux or so :) (ye ubuntu-devel sounds right) [15:56] for what? I go with a bsd mail server and call it a day 486 let it build up dust in some dark room and forget it. [15:56] pestilence: not if its an intel gpu [15:57] ActionParsnip, I have an 8600gt. GPU isn't the issue. Nouveau is already blacklisted. problem was cause when I install plymouth-manager. [15:57] ActionParsnip: he installed the nvidia driver. i'm guessing it's not an intel card :) [15:57] starsinmypockets: one can try a jail, *chroot( or you remove that user's rights to change those permissions [15:57] uninstalled plymouth manager and reinstalled plymouth, problem persists. [15:57] cwainey: plymouth doesn't like the nvidia driver, you will eventually get a display but the plymouth boot screen will not show [15:58] mali - that's a good thought, then the bug becomes powerless [15:58] mali can that be done by directory? for example, forbid www-data to change the /assets directory permissions? [15:58] ActionParsnip, I know that. but it shouldn't affect booting into recovery console. that skips plymouth and boots text based [15:59] cwainey: if you uninstall the nvidia driver, is it ok? [15:59] ActionParsnip, no. [16:00] ActionParsnip, I select the _linux hernel here_-(recovery mode) option in grub, and I get the out of range error. I don't even get to select an option, yet normal boot works fine. [16:01] IfI try to drop into a tty console from a normal boot, I get the out of range message. [16:01] hello! [16:02] I have problem with sound. [16:02] robotti^: checked alsamixer? [16:02] robotti^, Like...? [16:02] no sound when I am trying watch videos in browser [16:02] minixvbox: I have sound when using video players on computer [16:02] but not in browser videos [16:02] cwainey: you can set the res in /etc/default/grub you will need a chroot from liveCD to change the grub and such [16:03] cwainey: do you know what is problem? [16:03] minixvbox: what I should do in alsamixer? [16:03] robotti^: can you give a pastebin of the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [16:03] robotti^: is that via flash in the browser (like youtube) [16:03] robotti^, sounds like an issue with flash, do you have the latest version? [16:03] minixvbox: flash yep [16:04] cwainey: Just installed [16:04] cwainey: videos play, but without sound [16:04] robotti^: which vids don't work? [16:04] it is like it does not know what is sound output-device. [16:04] minixvbox: videos work, but no sound [16:04] in flash objects/videos [16:04] robotti^: on all ones in flash? [16:04] robotti^: can you give a pastebin of the command I gave please...... [16:05] minixvbox: yes [16:05] robotti^: sorry, i'm slow typing [16:05] ActionParsnip: what command? [16:05] (16:03:39) ActionParsnip: robotti^: can you give a pastebin of the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [16:05] Hi! How to select cursors theme? I have remember there is some command such as 'command --config cursor blah blah' but I cannot remember exactly that command now :| [16:05] robotti^: try this. log out and back in. first thing, find a Flash web video to watch? is there sound if no other app has yet used the audio subsystem? [16:05] robotti^: itwas quite clear. === Ebony is now known as cjdavis [16:06] robotti^: and before you log out, pastebin ActionParsnip's stuff for us to look at while you try allowing Flash first access to audio. [16:06] Sorry to bother you again, but I didn't receive any answer earlier: There's a warning in Ubuntu that the full-charge capacity of the battery has dropped. Does anyone know where to configure the threshold for this warning? [16:06] Can anyone help? [16:07] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/BGK9CT5J [16:07] haha all that time figuring this out and the onlything that i didnt try was adding eth1 to the interface line === AKeohane7729 is now known as MooMoo [16:07] hey guys.. what is this mean ? "The username (hotfloppy) with which you tried to log in is already in use for a different account." got this when i try to login to loco.ubuntu.com using launchpad account.. is loco.ubuntu.com is for ubuntu members only ? [16:07] robotti^: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-installer package === mi is now known as Guest68685 [16:08] BoxyK: what make and model system? [16:08] BoxyK: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [16:08] ActionParsnip: now it is done === vincent is now known as Guest63796 [16:08] ActionParsnip: what now [16:08] ActionParsnip: It's an old Lenovo. I don't remember the exact model name now. [16:08] how to enable partner repo? [16:09] !partner | robotti^ [16:09] robotti^: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [16:09] I managed to mess up my WM with Enlightment, how do I recover my Gnome WM? [16:09] robotti^ open Synaptic and select Settings - Repos [16:09] robotti^: enable the partner repo and install the adobe-installer and you will get 64bit flash for your 64bit OS [16:09] Hello folks! Would anyone know how to enable auto-login remotely from ssh? [16:10] Apteryx: use SSH keys [16:10] HELLO [16:10] ActionParsnip: Is it something model-specific? [16:10] BoxyK: and the output of: lsb_release -sc [16:10] ubottu: now sudo apt-get update? [16:10] Error: Unknown timezone: sudo apt-get update? - Full list: http://ubottu.com/timezones.html [16:10] robotti^: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:10] ActionParsnip: now sudo apt-get update? [16:10] can someone help me with this broken sd-card ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/871650/ i need to recover the files [16:10] hey does any body know how to install ubuntu 11.10 on a Gateway G6-333c? [16:11] robotti^: if the repo is enabled and you have all gui package apps closed, yes [16:11] Captain_America2: make an install USB or CD, boot to it and install [16:11] Captain_America2, [16:11] ActionParsnip: and now sudo apt-get install adobe-installer? [16:11] Is it possible to forbid a user to change permissions on a specific directory? [16:11] errr Captain_America2 whats the issue? [16:11] robotti^: run: apt-cache search adobe to double check the package name [16:11] its meant for running windows 98 but i have windows xp [16:12] Captain_America2: thats irrelevant [16:12] its a little slow at booting up but it works [16:12] Captain_America2, did u try installing ubuntu and ran into problems? [16:12] Captain_America2: again, doesn't mean anything [16:13] know it doesnt recognize the cd i created [16:13] ActionParsnip: adobe-flashplugin? === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [16:13] robotti^: sounds good [16:13] Captain_America2: how much memory is in that system? i wouldn't imagine very much. Perhaps if ubuntu doesn't give the performance you want, you could try lubuntu for a lighter version [16:13] Captain_America2, have ou burned an ISO before [16:13] i tried everything even usb stick but it does appear on boot [16:13] guys? Anyone here has experience about avoiding so-called "honeypots" in Torrent world? I'm looking for a client for my Ubuntu machine. [16:13] Captain_America2: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [16:13] 512 mb ram [16:13] ActionParsnip: it is installed [16:13] Captain_America2: i doubt a win98 based system would support USB booting [16:14] robotti^: ok then close all browsers and rerun, should be ok [16:14] yes it is verified ok [16:14] bios [16:14] Captain_America2: what video card do you use? [16:14] ActionParsnip: I meant local auto-login (instead of stopping at gdm screen and asking for credentials at login) [16:14] ActionParsnip: no sound [16:15] ActionParsnip: but that machine currently has no monitor and keyboards and mouse to configure this graphically, so I'm trying to do it via SSH, modifying files. [16:15] VIPER-11: what do you mean? are you looking to block honeypots? [16:15] it doesnt have one jus ati 3-D agp [16:15] ActionParsnip: video is playing, but no sound [16:15] How do you give write access to sabnzbd? [16:15] starsinmypockets: sure, as long as they are not an owner of the dir and dont have write permissions on it [16:15] BIOS [16:15] Trevor: uhuh. Not sure how to avoid that. I've always downloaded with Usenet. [16:15] robotti^ in a Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M [16:16] Apteryx: ssh doesn't use a GUI, its a text based login [16:16] VIPER-II, i think u can use MoBlock to block torren honeypots, but i have not used it [16:16] it works like peer guardian [16:16] raido - well, the problem is I'm trying to control a bug that's changing the permissions of the assets folder, so I thought I could cheat and forbid that, but it needs ownership & write permission [16:16] i dont have a graphics card just Ati 3-D AGP manafactured in 1998 [16:16] robotti^: can you give the output of: sudo updatedb; locate libflashplugin.so Thanks [16:16] Captain_America2, this is a graphiocs card [16:16] ActionParsnip: i think Apteryx wants to enable DM autologin, not ssh [16:17] Trevor: my friend... i have NO clue whatsoever what 'peer guardian' is either. All i know is that some companies send ur ISP an email telling them that you're being naughty. [16:17] VIPER-II: You mean trackers! [16:17] Captain_America2, if you can plug a monitor in it it has a graphics card [16:17] Captain_America2: thats the graphics card, the fact its onboard is moot, its still attached to the same bus and will be seen the same in any OS [16:17] i'm using XChat-GNOME as my IRC client and i wish to know how to change the server [16:17] alas not a very good one but it's still one [16:17] oh ok [16:17] ActionParsnip: flash is working, but it's sound it is not working [16:17] but it runs through a agp chip [16:17] slackjaw: run: /server servername [16:17] mintmain: something like that. [16:17] VIPER-II, i think you want moblock [16:17] no card [16:17] ActionParsnip: I know :). I think I found the solution, I need to modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [16:17] thanks will do that [16:17] robotti^: can you pastebin the output of the command I gave please [16:17] Trevor: that blocks the peer or it blocks the whole torrent itself? [16:18] Apteryx: sweet :D [16:18] The thing is, I'm trying to figure out "HOW do they catch you" ? [16:18] ActionParsnip: I do not have installed updatedb [16:18] it doesnt block all of torrents it bliocks a list of IPs that are known to be "honeypots" as you call them [16:18] Captain_America2: try the boot option: nomodeset [16:18] ah [16:18] robotti^: its in a standard install [16:18] ActionParsnip: hmm but "autologin-user=myuser" is already in this file... so this stopped working from 11.10 to 12.04 [16:18] it uses a list of trackers to block [16:18] starsinmypockets: well thats a sticky wicket [16:18] hmm [16:19] VIPER-II: They can see everything. [16:19] but you need to remember it's not 100% cuz some may not be in the list [16:19] how do you tdo that? [16:19] ActionParsnip: robotti@cybersoturi:~$ sudo updatedb [16:19] sudo: updatedb: command not found [16:19] sd7: they are supposed to see peers that connect to them, right? [16:19] They dont particularly need to send/receive data with you... the only fact that u're listed in the "leecher' is enouhg... is't it? [16:19] it's the fake trackers that are reporting you [16:19] not the ISP [16:19] VIPER-II: Yeah. [16:20] raido well put... I'm having a hell of a time debugging this [16:20] ActionParsnip: so you see. [16:20] Trevor: indeed. so this program avoids you from even connecting to those trackers? [16:20] robotti^: sudo apt-get install mlocate [16:20] how do you find nomodeset? [16:20] VIPER-II, yep [16:20] VIPER-II, that's the idea anyways [16:20] ActionParsnip: thank you, now it is installed! [16:21] !nomodeset | Captain_America2 [16:21] Captain_America2: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [16:21] ActionParsnip: now running updatedb [16:21] Trevor: ehm... 'does it work?' [16:21] the idea? [16:21] ActionParsnip: I am using ubuntu server [16:21] i have an intel PhoenixAward bios version 4O4CL0X0.15A.0009.P05 === smw_ is now known as smw [16:22] VIPER-II, Yea, but i use peerguardian not MoBlock, but it;'s the same thing [16:22] and i have never had issues with peer guardian [16:22] robotti^: You are using desktop. You cannot view flash in CLI interface [16:22] Trevor: then why shouldn't i use peerguardian? [16:22] web block, Proxy! :okay: [16:22] VIPER-II, peerguardian doesnt run on ubunut it's for windows [16:22] oh [16:23] ubuntu* [16:23] ActionParsnip: yes. but this is ubuntu server edition, I just installed ubuntu-desktop on it [16:23] MoBlock, heh? [16:23] moblock does what peerguardian does just for ubuntu [16:23] robotti^: why did you install the server if you wanted a desktop OS? [16:23] ActionParsnip: I was just thinking if it does work because of that reason. [16:23] VIPER-II, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock [16:23] ActionParsnip: because this xbmc and media-server [16:23] robotti^: by installing the desktop, you now have the desktop OS, not server. [16:23] ActionParsnip: and it is connected to hdtv [16:24] ah... nice [16:24] tx [16:24] VIPER-II: what torrent client do you use? [16:24] hey pals [16:24] Trevor69420, is it whitelist or blacklist? [16:24] robotti^: can you give the output of: sudo find / | grep flash | grep so [16:24] blacklist plouffe [16:24] mneptok wat version of linux are u using [16:25] but i guess it could be configured for whatever... [16:25] but i think in his case it makes sense to use blacklist [16:25] @Action pls help [16:25] freewayzify: err ... why? [16:25] i dont have any torrent clients yet [16:25] VIPER-II: are you using Ubuntu? [16:25] uhuh [16:25] VIPER-II: if so, Transmission comes pre-installed. [16:26] Transmission u say? [16:26] ok [16:26] blacklist sounds useless [16:26] what is nomodeset again floodbot3 [16:26] VIPER-II: i highly suggest you run it before continuing. [16:26] Captain_America2: it disables kernel mode setting [16:26] !nomodeset > Captain_America2 [16:26] Captain_America2, please see my private message [16:26] plouffe, why [16:26] VIPER-II: i also highly suggest you take a long look at all the preference panes. [16:27] I have this script i have to run to compile new network drivers for my phisical nic in my netbook. Every time i get a kernel upgrade i have to run module assistance to get the source for the new kernel..i thought there was a generic package i could install that would also grab the kernel source for my new kernel.. [16:27] whats that package called? [16:27] hey guys, I don't understand how unicode strings work in python... how can i get the first letter in this case: http://paste.ubuntu.com/871676/ [16:27] it blacklists the IPs of the known honeypot trackers [16:27] which is what he wants [16:27] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/fnuNR0Hk === ReTFEF is now known as TheTFEF [16:27] grendal-prime: check out dkms perhaps?

[16:29] if he used a whitelist he wouldnt be able to =conncect to any trackers until he knew akll the ones he could trust [16:29] whitelist is safer [16:29] ActionParsnip: yes. what you think? [16:29] weird. [16:29] Yea, but if you want safety, how do you discover which ones are fake? [16:30] i'll physically walk to the PC and switch to root [16:30] wait till someone gets sued 6 months after the fact? [16:30] cuz in the 'user' mode, i'm not getting any buttons except for downloading etc... nothing about prefs [16:30] plouffe well there's a community that does that...like i said it's not 100% fool proof but it does a very good job === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234_ [16:30] VIPER-II: you do not need root [16:30] freewayzify: you need to state your problem to get help [16:30] Trevor69420: Nothing is just setup a new client and the fbi can wrap a few hundered times at the door for illegal downloads. [16:30] robotti^: can you give the output of: file /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so [16:30] plouffe, they can usually tell who owns the IP [16:30] How can I access a file on another Xubuntu computer on the same wifi network? I went to Nautilus went to "Go" then "Location" and then entered network:///computer-name and got a funky error [16:30] Ta, minixvbox, but that didn't stop synaptic from crashing. [16:30] plouffe: Trevor69420 this whitelist/blacklist torrent discussion has gotten away from ubuntu support [16:30] it doesn't souind very proof at all to me [16:30] I can ping the computer in CLI [16:31] sorry zykotick9 [16:31] elijah, samba, sshfs, or other file shareing services.

[16:32] ActionParsnip: I now, because I installed it :D [16:32] ActionParsnip: but why no sound?

[16:44] i have set the boot priority like this: [16:44] Hi I have installed ubuntu-desktop on Ubuntu Server. When I am trying to remotely connect to the server via xrdp(on server) and Terminal Server Client - I am not able to view the launcher. , I just see the top bar with the network options. However, if I directly login in the server machine I can see the launcher. What am I missing? [16:44] * zykotick9 hopes FTP will die soon [16:45] dont dis on FTP [16:45] 1st boot device: cd-rom device [16:45] die, maggots, die! [16:45] it's a convenient tool [16:45] 2nd boot device: Hardrive [16:45] * Dr_willis_ dis's on ftp. :) [16:45] whatever that means. [16:45] 3rd boot device:removable drives === sk3ptic_1ne is now known as c4m0r35I [16:46] 4th boot device: network boot [16:46] and i disable quick boot mode [16:46] I fixed synaptic crashing by turning orca screen reader on and off. I don't want to have to do that everytime I login! [16:47] you need to run synaptic every time you login? :) [16:47] and rebooted but nothing happened it ignored the cd [16:47] anyone that know why I cant use a socks(ssh) that i've setup? Here is a log: http://paste2.org/p/1929109 [16:49] do ineed to use command prompt to mount iso or something? [16:49] zzzzzz [16:49] Captain_America2, so the issue is its not booting the cd? [16:50] Captain_America2: Bios. Great boot order! Is your Cd rom drive a CD-rw if not then you do you plan on booting a ISO image? [16:50] right [16:50] Captain_America2, You did check the md5sum of the cd? how did you burn it to cd? [16:50] and the md5sum of the iso. [16:50] it is a compact cd drive [16:50] anyone that know why I cant use a socks(ssh) that i've setup? log: http://paste2.org/p/1929109 [16:51] Captain_America2, it would be an old/rare pc these days that cant boot from a cd. :) 'compact compact disk drive' ? :) [16:51] i burned it to disk using nero along time ago [16:51] Captain_America2, so what version of ubuntu is this anyway? [16:51] 11.10 [16:51] has it ever booted on any other machines? [16:51] i don't think 512 mb ram is enough [16:52] yes [16:52] on a low ram system - a lubuntu, or xubuntu setup may work faster. [16:53] it has booted on other machines === lemurph_away is now known as lemurph [16:54] Captain_America2, that sort of narrows it down to some issue with the hardware/bios settings and reading that disk. You could try putting the iso on a usb flash and booting that way [16:54] Captain_America2: How many scratches does this cd have on it? [16:54] none [16:54] no scratches [16:54] and itried usb but it didnt recognize it either [16:55] tried any other linux disrto cds ? [16:55] it just ignored it aat boot prompt [16:55] trying to install python-profiler creates some insane dependency issues, it expects me to remove ~100 packages, including apt, xorg, cinnamon and compiz. what gives? [16:55] hey also my bios doen't dsupport f4 device boot [16:55] unless i can install it [16:55] Doxin, what command are you using? sounds like you got extra repos enabled also. :) [16:56] 'F4 device boot' meaning? [16:56] Dr_willis: using synaptic, lemme check extra repos. === orphan is now known as babayaru === bill is now known as Guest3931 [16:56] Captain_America2: what is the make and model of ur old machine see how I have put bsd on 386. [16:56] minix :) is always fun for old old old machines [16:57] you know o the newer machines they have in bios setup enable f4 boot menu [16:57] motherf*cking Ubuntu... ffs!!! ARGH!!! Been looking like an idiot for the program-specific bar INSIDE the window of the program. Forgot that Ubuntu automagicaly puts the Top bar (File, Edit, View etc) at the top of the screen!!! argh!!! [16:57] Dr_willis_: where can i find enabled repos? [16:57] Captain_America2, the key to select a boot menu - differs depening on the maker/bios/mb [16:57] can i get tha for phoenix award bios setup utility? [16:57] VIPER-II, no cursing here [16:57] Doxin, synaptic has a gui i belive for it. [16:57] bazhang: id idn't curse. Only intented it. [16:57] mintman it is G6-333c [16:57] Doxin, or look in /etc/apt/sources* [16:57] VIPER-II: If you don't like the retarded Unity interface, you can always change to XFCE/KDE/something sane [16:58] VIPER-II, no obfuscated swearing either. [16:58] Hi, I am using xrdp to remotely connect to my Ubuntu Server. I cannot see the launcher. I just see the top bar and the empty desktop. What am I missing? [16:59] bazhang: ok... just had to take it out man... sorry.... Been looking like an idiot searching and re-installing "Transmission" for nothing. Went to Youtube to see what it looks like and saw the guy clicking at the top of the screen. [16:59] <--- Feeling pretty stoopid right now. [16:59] Got a simple question. I installed Cairo Dock, then resently decided to install XFCE and know every time I open a session of XFCE it loads Cario Dock can I stop it from loading every time I log in? [16:59] Dr_willis_: there don't seem to be any repos activated there. [16:59] what f key would it be for a Gateway G6-333c [17:00] Doxin, i just use the addppa command line tools, or alter the files directly i rarely use synaptoc to manage them [17:00] hmmm' [17:00] the bios is manafactured by intel [17:00] in the year of 1998 [17:00] yt189: it's ok. I just need to get used to it. Im a bit too spoiled by Uncle Bill Gates. [17:00] anybody know how to rename the title on the toolbar of a .pdf file - toolbar title is different from filename and I have no idea how to chg. [17:01] VIPER-II: if you like windows, you should perhaps try with linux mint, their interface is a lot more similar to windows [17:01] Captain_America2: Gateway had a couple good yrs of production and know a big pile of junk.. [17:02] VIPER-II: you don't have to do a reinstall, you can install cinnamon interface right into ubuntu [17:02] !ot | mintman [17:02] mintman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:02] what do you mean by "know? [17:04] how do i get hardware info like cpu info especially? [17:04] Soul_Sample: hhehe it's ok man. I was just being stoooopid! I kinda found that Ubuntu puts the top bar-menu all the way to the top of the screen. Been banging my head in the wall for the last 5 minutes. [17:04] sw0rdfish: lscpu or cat /proc/cpuinfo [17:04] sw0rdfish: cat /proc/cpuinfo [17:04] so mneptok: u there? [17:05] Pici: Not to be mean,but that Gateway machine has some poorest motherboards and graphics card support added to its design I ever seen in yrs. :) Sorry not trying to be rude just getting him to understand that has to be the worst machine I have seen in yrs. [17:05] VIPER-II: it's okay once you get used to it, although some applications such as gimp don't play nice with it [17:05] mintman: I don't care anything about Gateway, your comments are off-topic for this support channel though. [17:05] hi, what are packages named lib*-cil for? [17:05] Pici: srry ops! [17:05] hey who disconnected me and took my username? [17:05] I mean what does "cil" mean in that context [17:06] Pici, pestilence: it will state there if it is dual core cpu right? [17:06] hi, diff b/w 32 bit and 64 bit hardware architecure?? [17:06] can anyone tell me, i'm going to make my computer dual boot with ubuntu and i'm wondering should i dl the 64bit version since my win7 is 64bit or dosen't it matter? === ar0nic is now known as mortvertisafag [17:06] newer, if you got a 64bit cpu. may as well use the 64bit os. === torrocus is now known as Guest37030 [17:06] Hey, anyone know how I can find path to PHP bin... it's not in /usr/bin/php [17:06] sw0rdfish: it might, or just look for the number of CPUs reported. [17:06] oh ko [17:06] ok [17:06] user1_: approximately 32 bits. === mortvertisafag is now known as mortvertisstupid [17:06] oki thanks, was just wondering since on ubuntu.com they recommend 32 bit [17:06] HEYYYY I WANT A ANSWER [17:06] there's only one reported [17:06] so yeah [17:07] thanks picasso [17:07] Pici* [17:07] WHO [17:07] sw0rdfish: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:07] anyone has that site of blacklists to avoid honeypots in torrents? [17:07] DISCONNECTED [17:07] ME [17:07] hi, is there any tutoriel to learn how tweaking unity by any type of script [17:07] Captain_America_: knock it off. No one disconnected you. [17:07] Captain_America_, join #freenode for that [17:07] Captain_America_: Nobody, your internet connection is bad. [17:07] Captain_America_: stop it, maybe consider registering your nick [17:07] VIPER-II, i belive theres several of them. but even blacklisting is not foolproof. [17:07] !register | Captain_America_ [17:07] Captain_America_: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [17:08] Why does Ubuntu ship with default of 60 for swappiness when it recommends the value to be at 10 for desktops? [17:08] FireStorms: you'll need the php5-cli package if you want to run php scripts not via cgi [17:08] im on but i was disconnected and when re entered captain america 2 was still on and then it just quit [17:08] Pici Oh......... that makes sense, thank you :D [17:09] Captain_America_, id suggest a more original nick name perhaps. [17:09] Captain_America_, /join #freenode [17:09] Captain_America_: Questions about the technicalities of IRC can be asked in #freenode, not here. === mortvertisstupid is now known as mortvertisgod [17:09] Captain_America_: That happens all the time when your internet is of no good. This is also offtopic here. [17:09] sorry [17:09] where was i about the boot menu? [17:09] VIPER-II: see PM [17:10] looks like a good spot to get support i'll check you guys out more later after work bye [17:10] hi, can i tweak unity by any script languge [17:10] caio, fellas === mbeierl_ is now known as mbeierl === root is now known as Guest36909 [17:11] please tell me how to enable grub or an alternative mwthod i have only 25 minutes to do this [17:11] bmoez, there is my-unity, it will be standard in next release [17:11] Captain_America_: What do you mean, "enable grub"? Grub is the default bootloader. [17:11] hi, i have a problem with grub2 ... when i start ubuntu on my server, it selects an entry, but it doesn't start automatically.... this is rly annoying for a server-computer -.- how can i say grub again that it shall start the selected entry automatically? [17:12] bmoez, >>> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/unity-tweak-tool-myunity-gets-new-look-coming-to-ubuntu-software-centre/ [17:12] how do i get [17:12] Captain_America_: Give me that model of Gateway machine I will look around the internet. I have a funny feeling that model had issues and it has nothing to do with Ubuntu! My cousin owned a Gateway machine back around time frame and had to call tech support to reinstall the OS which was windows [17:12] !helpme | Captain_America_ [17:12] Captain_America_: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [17:12] greenit: check the GRUB_TIMEOUT= value in /etc/default/grub ("sudo update-grub" if you make any changes) [17:13] Oer: i'm using ubuntu 12.04 and i have my-unity, but , if there any script languge for more advanced themes [17:13] bmoez: 12.04 issues in #ubuntu+1 please [17:13] Hey, guys. Would it be about right to have a 16gb swap file if I have 8gb ram? [17:14] ok [17:14] MINTMAN: here is the model: G6-33c [17:14] JeffJassky: should be plenty. [17:14] JeffJassky: i'd say that's overkill myself [17:14] Captain_America_: Thanks let me dig around for a min... === mortvertisgod is now known as marowanna [17:14] Yeah i thought it was a little big. I'm running an apache web server so for performance I feel like I'd like to nearly disable swapping.. [17:15] JeffJassky: some swap is a good thing [17:15] JeffJassky: disabling swapping will decrease performance, not the other way around. [17:15] zykotick9, thx, it was set to 2 secs, i just made the update-grub command and now it works again :) [17:15] how to delete old kernal ? [17:16] sipior: won't it only decrease performance if all of my real memory is used? theoretically if I always had a few gigs of headroom in my real ram wouldn't swappiness decrease performance? [17:16] JeffJassky: no. [17:16] luvswati: open synaptic and uninstall them [17:16] sipior: k.. I must not fully understand what swap is for then.. :) [17:16] luvswati: for terminal option, use "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" to list and "sudo apt-get purge foo" to remove [17:16] luvswati you can use ubuntu-tweak [17:17] !info ubuntu-tweak [17:17] Package ubuntu-tweak does not exist in oneiric [17:17] JeffJassky: swap is for taking *currently unneeded* bits out of your RAM, to make space for the needed bits. [17:18] LjL: aha okay.. and is that different from "cached" memory? [17:18] luvswati minixvbox http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [17:18] Which one cpufreqd or cpufrequtils? [17:18] MonkeyDust: so a ppa? [17:18] minixvbox no PPA [17:18] thanks i had done it ! [17:18] minixvbox it's a .deb [17:19] JeffJassky: it's related. if you have free RAM, then you can use some of it as a cache for files, to access them faster. if you have swap enabled, you can make more space for the cache by swapping out currently unused programs [17:19] MonkeyDust: doesn't that imply its 3rd party and thus unsupported here? [17:19] minixvbox: yes [17:20] JeffJassky: the tradeoff by which the system decides how much to swap out programs in favor of file cache is called "swappiness", and is configurable. [17:20] zykotick9: thanks, i never understand why people look to unsupported 3rd party packages when they are uneeded [17:20] (for cpufreq) [17:20] minixvbox: nor do i [17:21] minixvbox because they are easy to use, for on thing [17:21] one* [17:21] MonkeyDust: easy is relative and in my opinion not as important as supported [17:21] LjL: Thanks I appreciate the info. I think I understand. So one more question - if my swap isn't being used at all (0 bytes) would that probably mean swap is disabled OR could it just not be used yet (I restarted the server about 15 minutes ago. 7gb free memory still) [17:22] minixvbox guess you're right, people don't come here for help and support [17:22] * minixvbox thinks i should shut up before i get offtopic :) [17:22] Hi guys! [17:23] How can I remove a block of text from all files in a dorectory and it's subs? [17:23] Hi [17:23] Lasivian: code something [17:23] pythonsnake, not helpful [17:23] :) [17:24] I need some help to complete my setup of Ubuntu 11.04 with envrypted LVM [17:24] anyone know if the page source of the a google results page gives you the URLs of the ten results it gives you? ctrl+f then typing their addresses doesnt work [17:24] maybe open them all with some sort of editor then replace all in all file [17:24] like notepad++ [17:25] f4stra: They don't -- they give some crazy redirection links via Google itself [17:25] JeffJassky: if you're curious, have a look at the vmstat utility. [17:25] I can get my system to boot but it wont accept my password === Mud is now known as Guest45090 [17:25] !password | Zteam [17:25] Zteam: Forgot your password?

[17:33] hey, i am new to irc, am i connected now? can you hear me? [17:34] alfredfreddyfred: well, we can read you ;) [17:34] well thats pretty cool i guess:) [17:36] question: I want to run ubuntu as my main os on a macbook pro. Can I then make a mac os x vm? [17:37] bobobobobob, Probably. [17:37] I saw here that it is possible https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [17:38] but I know making osx vm is a little tricky, but in this case I will be running on macbook hardware so it should be ok? EULA? [17:38] bobobobobob: you might want to ask in #vbox if you can make Mac into a VM. I kinda doubt it myself. [17:38] zykotick9: okay, that is what I was thinking too === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [17:38] bobobobobob: i think you are allowed to virtualise osx as long as you are on osx hardware (check the license to be sure though) [17:38] bobobobobob: It is not legal to run OSX under a Virtual Machine. At least it wasn't the last time I checked. [17:39] bobobobobob, Jordan_U It is not legal to do anything with OSX besides what apple tells you to do. :P [17:40] I bet somewhere in the fine print they say its not even legal to run it.... ever... :) [17:41] can i install netbook remix with the 11.10 wubi installer? [17:41] Bennit, the netbook remix is a dead project. [17:42] oops that was for bennyp [17:42] :) [17:42] dr_willis: is there an alternative, or a package, or just vanilla 11.10 [17:42] 11.10 installs unity, whichis what the netbook interface basically grew into. [17:42] Dr_willis_: thanks, perfect [17:43] it's for a non techie client anyways, and since i put unity on their desktop, this will be better for her [17:43] I'd like to be able to access the files on my desktop from anywhere. Though, online storage solutions are very expensive for the amount of data I would need to store. I've been looking at buying a cheap server. http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DL360-XEON30-PB-R&cat=SVR Is that a good option? Could I install ubuntu server edition os on it? How would I back up that server in case it [17:43] crashed? [17:43] battlehands: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:43] @FloodBot1 I'm not flooding. That was my question. [17:43] be cheaper to get an online storage i bet. :) [17:43] if you just need storage. [17:44] but just about any pc thes4e days can work as a server and serve up files via ssh/sshfs/ or other ways. [17:44] dr_willis I need to store about 300GB of data [17:44] battlehands: why not just setup SSH, then you can have remote access to your desktop from anywhere [17:44] battlehands, i saw a site giving away 50gb for free last week. :) [17:44] 300gb is not that huge these days. :) [17:45] zykotick9 My desktop has been crashing, and I don't want to need to access it and it be off. [17:45] theres $30-60 NAS box's that can share a usb hd. and share it over the internet also. [17:45] slow.. but cheap. :) [17:45] battlehands: might be interesting: http://www.crashplan.com/ [17:45] Dr_willis_: you can do that for free [17:45] celthunder, if you got the hardware allready. [17:46] battlehands, I would just buy a used computer off of craigslist. Not only will it more likely have built in drivers then a new PC, but cheaper. for software, SSH is most secure option, which is easy with Ubuntu server. [17:46] but its handy to have a NAS the size of deck of cards that can do all the work with no hassles. [17:46] bbl [17:47] http://imagebin.org/202228 i have a problem i vant delet map because of see image [17:47] Any opinions on the server that I linked? [17:47] Dr_willis_: You said you just use ssh for file transfers? [17:48] elijah: scp works great [17:49] celthunder: I just want to transfer files from one local computer to another, is that an easy way? I was hoping to do it through Nautilus but it seems harder than it is worth, no? [17:49] #vbox says it is possible, but since there are no guest additions for mac osx guest, it is not ideal user experience [17:49] elijah scp localfile username@remotecomputer:/directory/ [17:50] elijah: add -r switch to above if you copy directory and want to copy it recursively [17:50] elijah: the computer you're typing commands at is the local computer, and the other is the remote computer. it doesn't matter if they're sitting on the same desk or on opposite sides of the world [17:50] elijah: how is scp hard [17:51] celthunder: I meant using Nautilus to share files, scp seems easier [17:51] hello [17:51] how to check which live version of CD running ubuntu i have? i am very very new to all this [17:52] flashissue: on terminal type cat /etc/*elease* [17:52] flashissue: from terminal "lsb_release -a" might work (not 100% sure on livecd) [17:52] does nautilus still have "connect to server" in the file menu?

[17:56] elijah: i don't know if nautilus after ubuntu 10.04 has it or not, but try nautilus -> file -> connect to server -> fill in ssh connection options. nautilus should let you use the remote file system like any folder and use ssh/scp in the background to do what you want [17:56] Hi, I need some help in submitting patches to linux kernel-janitor group.

[19:01] hobbelt: hmm always sort of assumed there was one [19:01] trying playonlinux too, but it just seems to hang also [19:01] parapan: you sure the stick is sdb? [19:01] parapan: cfdisk /dev/sdb [19:01] parapan: does it fail [19:01] celthunder there is a REGEX feature which does that, but dont think you can set it separately, just dont want to ban sb who mistypes password once [19:02] celthunder: unable to get permission ...permission denied [19:02] application menu is displayed with 1 second delay in gnome fallback session. Anyone knows how to fix this super annoying issue? [19:03] parapan: uhm selinux issue? [19:03] parapan: what does uname -a say? [19:03] soo [19:03] for example nautilus menu, terminal menu and many many others, this is really annoying [19:03] parapan: try yumi, unetbootin or do a manual iso to usb stick [19:03] Gage_: were you able to grab the files off the server without apt [19:03] wylde: I've used that ISO on 4 computers before that one, and the other systems works perfectly. Maybe the CD got damaged, but I think it's quite difficult [19:03] What do you mean? [19:04] Gage_: not using apt try to download the files [19:04] Gage_: use axel or wget or uzbl or something [19:05] Broc93: any luck with a different kernel [19:05] Broc93, have you run a memeory test? [19:05] memory* [19:06] minixvbox: uname gives me the user on my machine, linux version and so on .... [19:06] parapan: can i see it please? [19:06] Fyodorovna: no, didn't have enough time today. will surely try tomorrow [19:06] Why is it that my webcam won't work in Ubuntu? [19:06] Is there a package I need? [19:07] minixvbox: Linux xxxxx-laptop 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:13:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux [19:07] dommer, looked on the web with the model and ubuntu? [19:08] I don't know how to get the files without using apt. Just tell me what to do, I'm a n00b. [19:08] I thought logitech should work in it. :| [19:08] Hi Ya'll. I'm running a VPS that's still on 8.04 LTS. Should I upgrade the distro or is it not really worth it? [19:08] I have a ubuntu VM i'm using as an ssh server, which I'm also tunneling my dev http server through for development and testing. I'd like to make it so that I can forward certain requests to another machine on the same network (the VM's host machine in fact). My understanding is I need to make my ubuntu box into a proxy server. is this correct? [19:09] parapan: while unrelated to your dd problem, there is an update to the kernel in lucid [19:09] Fyodorovna: if there's no prolem with the RAM, what should I do? === Armand is now known as Guest71063 [19:09] minixvbox: and you're suggesting first upgrade and then try again ??? [19:09] Broc93, not sure really, I just saw a suggestion to check the ram. [19:10] parapan: i find its always best to run the latest updates [19:10] Fyodorovna: it was mine i think [19:10] Fyodorovna: not sure what else would cause page errors [19:10] What is the difference between the lines, ... lucid and ... lucid-updates in /etc/apt/sources.list [19:10] Fyodorovna: OK. So I'll make another CD with the ISO (just to be sure) and run a memory test, tomorrow. Thank you a lot [19:10] parapan: i can't see how the dd isue is related but worth updating anyway [19:11] minixvbox: still dd doesn't supposed to be affected by this .....it's a permission issue nothing more ..... [19:11] !repos | jenders [19:11] jenders: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [19:11] from the terminal how do i turn on the wireless card, BCM4306 [19:11] jenders: one is for the "lucid" repository and the other is for "lucid-updates" [19:11] parapan: yes, thats what i was saying, but just informing you that your current kernel has an update [19:12] minixvbox: k man , thanks for the effort ... [19:12] Raymond__: modprobe b43 or whatever ip addr wlan0 up or something like that [19:12] Hey there. I'm trying to install on a toshiba network, and at partitioning, I get an input/outpur error on dev/sda [19:12] what could the problem be? corrupt flash? [19:12] hi. Where can i change ctrl+alt+Fx ? Thats X.org related or isn't? [19:12] bennyp: sda is usually your hard drive [19:13] daswort: to what [19:13] !tty | daswort [19:13] daswort: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [19:13] celthunder: right. I want to install to the hard drive [19:13] daswort: It's not. Normally it's configured in /etc/inittab, but I have no idea how it's done with Upstart [19:13] I feel dumb. Could someone (in simple words) help me get apt working? [19:13] sorry for not pecifying, but i'm installing from USB [19:13] Gage_: did the test work [19:14] See, I didn't know how to do what you were telling me to do. [19:14] bennyp: does your hdd work properly [19:14] bennyp, can you open gparted, take a screenshot and imagebin it. [19:15] celthunder, Fyodorovna i'm concerned the flash is corrupted. gparted doesn't list /dev/sda, and the filebrowser doesn't notice the old windows partition (sda) [19:15] i can't mount /dev/sda either [19:15] bennyp: you dont mount sda you mount the partitions === sharkmap is now known as shark [19:16] bennyp: do you have a weird hdd setup or raid some odd scsi setup etc [19:16] celthunder: sorry it's been awhile. I have /dev/sda, sda1, sda2 and sda3 === shark is now known as Guest94847 [19:16] celthunder: it's a toshiba netbook that hadwindows 7 installed on it. could have been that the win 7 setup mucked around with things [19:16] bennyp: then cfdisk /dev/sda what does it say or try fdisk === Guest94847 is now known as sharkguy2 [19:17] jrib: so if I remove lucid-updates I will never move past the release I've installed from? [19:17] cfdisk /dev/sda: FATAL ERROR cannot open disk drive [19:17] bennyp: hmm [19:18] jenders: whether or not you remove it, you will never end up on a different release unless you tell ubuntu you want to upgrade your release. lucid-updates provides updates to fix software issues [19:18] celthunder: fdisk -l /dev/sda: cannot open /dev/sda [19:18] bennyp: sec [19:18] okay. But i want to change the keystroke combo. [19:19] daswort: i don't think you can [19:19] bennyp: are you root when running those [19:20] minixvbox: could he remap his keys? [19:20] celthunder: ctrl alt and F* keys? [19:20] celthunder: i'm running them off the iso [19:20] i'll try sudo [19:21] minixvbox: just the f* ones the ctrl alt are kind of needed as is [19:21] hi. I am having a major issue while trying to install ubuntu 11.10 off a usb drive. It keeps telling me part way through that my usb drive may be faulty....its brand new bought today to replace another that was having the same issue while installing [19:21] celthunder sudo cfdisk /dev/sda returns fatal error, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda returns nothing [19:21] magpii: md5 the iso used? [19:22] the iso was downloaded from the ubuntu webpage, gimme a sec to post link [19:23] how to copy folder to /usr/share/themes ? [19:23] santoshfamily: cp [19:23] I am confused, could some please explain what a Rolling distribution is an is it any different from Ubuntu? [19:23] santoshfamily: sudo cp -R [19:23] magpii: md5 it to make sure it matches [19:23] the iso was downloaded from here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [19:23] !md5sum | magpii [19:23] magpii: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:24] how do i md5 it? [19:24] magpii, ^^^ [19:24] what is -R ? [19:24] calico: you never reinstall they update as it comes out im in arch which in an example [19:24] santoshfamily: recursive [19:24] hey guys if I wanted some help with permissions/group settings for qjackctl on 12.04 where should I go? === lakiraen is now known as ulrich [19:25] calico: rolling is when you install and you never need to install again, it is continually updated (like gentoo or arch), ubuntu has 6 months releases so isn't rolling [19:25] I have downloaded the 11.10 64/32 bit as well as the 10.04 32/64 bit and still having the same issue [19:25] calico: basically the release rolls along you never have a version number etc your always current === marrusl_ is now known as marrusl [19:25] pls explain by giving a example ? [19:25] celthunder: so what do you mean, if I install Ubuntu that mean''s that I'll have to REinstall in 6 months?? [19:25] calico: something like that or install over your previous one [19:25] calico: yes, or upgrade to the next release === Mud is now known as Guest72085 [19:26] ah no worries, I should read the channel title in future :D [19:26] minixvbox: upgrade just from the os, with the updates? [19:26] calico: with a rolling distro there is no upgrading to the next release, you are effectively running the latest by simply being up-to-date [19:27] santoshfamily: cp -r /source $HOME copies the directory /source to my home dir [19:27] is there a way to forward traffic to another machine based on port and the hostname used in the request? [19:27] santoshfamily: and everything in it [19:27] SinnerNyx: probably [19:27] k tnx [19:27] calico: yes basically [19:27] thanks i am going to try it ? [19:27] celthunder: check this out pastebin.com/2zYPSKjE [19:28] celthunder: where would I start? can it be done with IPtables? [19:29] bennyp: cant help you from there sorry [19:29] celthunder: thanks a mint! have a great day [19:30] you too hopefully someone else has an idea [19:32] thanks for helping, i try it another way… [19:33] bennyp, how about a imagebin of gparted. [19:33] Hello. [19:34] Fyodorovna: i think he said sda didnt show up [19:34] Fyodorovna: well, i can tell you that sda didn't even show up [19:34] ericluwolf: hi [19:34] I'm making an Ubuntu derivitive [19:34] Sharing the love. [19:34] bennyp, ah did you look in the disk utility? [19:35] ericluwolf: thats nice [19:35] bennyp, I recognize the fdisk did not see it a swell [19:35] How can I get started working with the derivative team? [19:36] Fyodorovna: correct [19:36] Bennyp can you repeat your problem? [19:36] I installed cpufreqd but I don't have acpi-cpufreq is that normal? [19:36] ericluwolf: what? if you are making a derivative that is your responsibility [19:36] and when i try to boot into the old windows install (safe mode or normal) it hangs [19:36] como se usa isto? [19:36] bennyp: he cant access sda without fatal errers even as root [19:36] ericluwolf: trying to install on a toshiba netbook (nb205) [19:36] ericluwolf: There is no such thing. The official Ubuntu derivatives are Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. Any other derivatives are not supported and will never be [19:36] Does unity have a 'run' prompt like the alt-f2 in gnome2? [19:37] martian: Yes, it's the same way (alt-f2) :P === lakiraen is now known as ulrick [19:37] theadmin: then the keyboard must be messed up on this laptop ;) [19:37] I know. But there is a way on the ubuntu wiki to work with them for hardware and security support. Development is all o n me tho [19:37] can you advise on ssd diagnostic tools? [19:37] ericluwolf, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeTeam/Derivatives [19:37] preferably in software manager [19:38] Sata I presume [19:38] martian: Possible, hm. [19:38] theadmin: oh, silly dell; had to hit clt-fn-f2 otherwise it was turning on and off the wifi :p [19:38] anyone knows how to change language in lynx? [19:38] I have problem with swedish characters, can anyone help me? [19:38] martian: ...weird [19:39] theadmin: what's weirder is having to remove the keyboard and front panel to get at the hard drive :x [19:39] ahh it's a wonderful day [19:40] ericluwolf, Fyodorovna might have something to do with a BIOS setting called "AHCI" needing to be disabled [19:40] ribhoo: should take the default === Guest32249 is now known as bluj [19:41] bennyp, does windows still boot? [19:41] I have a file inside of the trash that refuses to let me remove it. I am getting Input/Output error. Is there a way to force remove it ? [19:41] minixvbox: what to hear the solution ??? [19:41] Switch to combination or ide/pata in your BIOS. Windows setup doesn't like AHCI. [19:41] Fyodorovna: no. I disabled AHCI, but haven't tried win yet [19:41] !trash | lwizardl [19:41] lwizardl: Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [19:41] celthunder: no, got translit, had to change the use locale-based [19:41] ribhoo: not related to your issue, but if you want a text browser I'd recommend links2 or elinks over lynx [19:42] lwizardl: rm rf [19:42] Fyodorovna: that might have done it. installer now recogs the windows part [19:42] cellthunder, tried that even as sudo [19:42] lwizardl: an I/O error may indicate a hardware issue... [19:43] Excuse me, how do you turn off the screensaver using the terminal? aka, where's the conf file? [19:43] Fyodorovna: oops! creating ext part failed [19:43] lwizardl: you may want to have a look at your "dmesg" output [19:43] zykotick9, I was making a clonezilla image of a laptop and the battery died and it refuses to let me remove it [19:43] bennyp, how many partitions do you see? [19:43] KaiSforza: xset s 0 0 xset -dpms xset s off it .xinitrc [19:43] Fyodorovna: 3, all ntfs [19:43] KaiSforza: er in not it [19:44] rm: cannot remove `.Trash-1000/expunged/EXAMPLE': Input/output error [19:44] bennyp, post a screenshot of bgparted now, in imagebin.

Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [19:45] Fyodorovna: since disabling ahci in bios i have sda1 (about 1500m label System), 2 (223gb (label Tl103127W0E) and 3 (7gb - recovery) [19:46] bennyp, if you want help then consider following requests. [19:47] Fyodorovna: i'm operating off of two machine now, it's a bit cumbersome, please understand [19:47] bennyp, I'm not to into 20 questions. [19:48] Fyodorovna: /dev/sda2 (main windows partition) has at least 923 bad sectors [19:48] hey guys I'm back [19:48] still having problems, bennyp [19:48] bennyp: thats pretty bad but new drives can ship with like 2 percent failure [19:49] ericluwolf, celthunder yeah, after disabling "ahci" in bios I got the liveimage to spot the windows partitions. [19:49] but the major win part has 923 bad sectors <- there's yer problem [19:49] celthunder: my friend's computer is booting up and logging in, but then going right to the screensaver. will that fix it? [19:50] KaiSforza: uh maybe. try it [19:50] alright [19:50] fsck in the terminal will help with tose nbad sectors [19:50] i trust you can unmount and mount via the cli? [19:51] KaiSforza: FYI celthunder's suggestion is actually powersaving screen blanking, NOT related to screensaver [19:51] celthunder, Fyodorovna, ericluwolf: results of gparted "check and fix" on the main windows partition: pastebin.org/CLbSmZE0 [19:51] !tab | ericluwolf [19:51] ericluwolf: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[19:51] okay sorry. new to irc Fyodorovna [19:51] zykotick9: do you know how to turn off the screensaver? where's the screensaver config file? [19:52] zykotick9: sorry lol my screensaver is just tho power off or my monitor [19:52] KaiSforza: you might be able to kill to screensaver process? Not sure on it's config from cli sorry [19:52] zykotick9: what's the screensaver processes name? [19:53] KaiSforza: depends. you could try "ps aux | grep screen" perhaps (no screensaver running here to check with) [19:53] hey, I'm having problems changing the directory of an ftp in ubuntu [19:53] would someone mind helping?

[19:58] SeySayux: no idea but iptables has always worked well [19:58] feeling so dumb. [19:58] SeySayux: iptables and ufw are both installed by default on 10.04 server [19:58] If you want to reload Ubuntu ,but keep the programs you installed can you save the .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives and reinstall system to the same state? [19:58] SeySayux: But please don't take my word as law... [19:59] impi: what ip is it listening on [19:59] theadmin: Well, IMHO, ubuntu is moving towards more "Windows behavior" in attempt to woo Windows users into using it.

[20:06] !grub | rcmaehl [20:06] rcmaehl: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [20:07] damn you ec2. [20:07] rcmaehl, do you have a mbr setup or a gpt? [20:07] actually no. I have run it, but it's a bit too bouncy imho. I do run it on my laptop from time to time. I've never done a straight KDE install and stuck with it, always went gnome and then installed KDE [20:07] added a port range. 21:0.0.0.0 working. [20:07] punk a$$ biaatch [20:07] Fyodorovna: mbr as windows 7 doesn't want to do gpt -_- [20:07] starsunflower_: try xmonad [20:07] impi: lol [20:07] celthunder, thanks for the help [20:07] impi: glad you gt it sorted [20:08] Security Groups >.< [20:08] rcmaehl, okay is the HD gpt? [20:08] msdos [20:08] as much as I hate having it like that [20:08] rcmaehl: grub then setup (hdAUTAO,OEUHTA) what happened when you did that [20:08] rcmaehl, do yo have a boot partition for ubuntu? [20:08] you [20:09] bennyp: any luck on your end with that nasty NTFS error? [20:09] Fyodorovna: yes /dev/sdb1 uuid=eea91651-dc63-40d8-a4fe-2acc3cd32c83 [20:09] rcmaehl, on a mbr setup you do not need a boot partition, if that alone is what it is. [20:09] I was thinking of trying out LXDE - is Xmonad like openbox or something? [20:10] rcmaehl, this is not a lvm I assume but a rxt type partitioning. [20:10] starsunflower_: its a tiling manager thats simple easy to use takes like 10mb of ram and has everythiny you need. also it organizes your windows for you [20:10] if I pastebin the config file [20:11] perhaps someone can look to see if there's an error in that [20:11] ericluwolf: just ran ntfsfix. failed: ntfs sig missing. volume corrupt, run dhfdisk [20:11] *chkdsk [20:11] starsunflower_: I don't really have wxperience with that.... sorry :).. But I'm sure you'll like it if it's recommended. [20:11] bennyp: try ntfsfix -f as root [20:11] ext type partition sorry rcmaehl [20:12] nvm done it [20:12] never mind [20:12] DefaultRoot /var/www [20:12] starsunflower_: you can add /change pretty much anything you want in it in about 10 seconds as well [20:12] ericluwolf: invalid option. i only have b h n and V [20:13] Hey all, I'm trying to identify how an intruder got into my Ubuntu server. I found a file called /etc/cron.d/update.db that adds the following "12 * * * * root chown root.root /tmp/sh; chmod u+s /tmp/sh" … seems suspicious to me… right? [20:13] bennyp: sorry. do you have a windows install disk laying around somewhere? [20:13] mstenta: yes... [20:13] bennyp: did fsck worx [20:14] hi, i accidentally executed this command: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily". how do i undo the changes it made? [20:14] work [20:14] mstenta: yeah i would delete that... [20:14] http://www.diigo.com/item/t/2480215_110729697_6364607 please check this image. I have recently created a git repo from terminal of ubuntu. Now all my files in desktop, home folder have a svn symbol. let me know why is it? [20:14] !ppa-purge | aaron_c [20:14] aaron_c: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [20:14] jrib: thanks. thought so. just wanted confirmation. :-) [20:14] ericluwolf: i have a windows install on the sdd. maybe after disabling ahci it'll boot into safe mode [20:14] jrib: still trying to figure out how that got there… :-/ [20:14] celthunder: haven't tried since disabling ahci.. stand by [20:15] bennyp: standing by.... [20:15] ericluwolf celthunder : which flags for fsck? it's ntfs [20:15] theadmin: thanks, but when i try that i get Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: ubuntu-audio-dev alsa-daily. and, when i run apt-get update it's givign me errors so i think the ppa is still there [20:16] aaron_c: are you sure you're typing it right? sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily [20:16] idk that may be to much for me. I don't write haskell ;) Looks interesting though, esp for those with gargantuan monitors [20:16] bennyp: sudo apt-get install N === bufalo1973_ is now known as bufalo1973 [20:17] bennyp: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [20:17] theadmin: ya, i just pasted that exactly [20:17] mstenta: what kernel are you running on the machine? [20:17] ericluwolf: already newest ver [20:17] bennyp: fsck -t ntfs [20:17] jrib: ubuntu 10.04 [20:17] aaron_c: Huh, with the /, right? [20:17] theadmin: it seems like it's ignoring the forward slash for some reason, even when i surround it with quotations [20:17] mstenta: kernel [20:17] theadmin: ya [20:18] Is there an easy way I can log all actions/commands of a certain user/users? [20:18] bennyp: OR fsck.ntfs [20:18] jrib: sorry… newb… one sec i'll figure it out [20:18] ericluwolf: wouldnt you want to add the option to make fsck automatically fix errors too? [20:18] celthunder: what exactly is xmonad? reading this website understand it runs in x11 enviroment?? what does it do? [20:18] mstenta: uname -r [20:18] aaron_c: Odd... Okay, cd to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and find the .list file there [20:18] jrib: thanks [20:18] aaron_c: Then just rm it [20:18] mintman: it's a tiling windows manager [20:18] mintman: a window manager [20:18] ericluwolf celthunder error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs [20:18] RyanD: just monitor their bash history [20:18] hydrox24_: yeah... that too [20:18] hydrox24_: where to view? [20:18] bennyp: What version of windows is it? [20:18] celthunder: downloading now give it a try! :) [20:19] ericluwolf: 7 [20:19] * RyanD has never bothered to do this shit before. [20:19] But I've got a very, very lazy outsourced team on a project of mine. [20:19] mintman: its a tiling window manager give it a try it just makes sense yeah lol thats cool let me know if you have issues [20:19] well, that I'm managing. [20:19] ericluwolf: the client said "after we installed 7 it broke" [20:19] theadmin: excellent, thanks! [20:19] jrib: hmm… well it's a Rackspace VPS, and I currently have it in "rescue mode" so i can diagnose it… running uname -r in rescue mode gives me 2.6.35.4-rscloud, but that might not be the kernel the machine is… is there a way to find that out, my machine is currently mounted in /mnt/... [20:19] not sure if she meant right after or later on [20:19] !language > RyanD [20:19] RyanD, please see my private message [20:19] ..... [20:19] wow. [20:20] Fyodorovna: ? [20:20] mstenta: you can check /boot/grub/grub.cfg [20:20] celthunder: hope not used fluxbox and most of the WM and DE so I hope this goes smooth. I see people add code so I can download enviroment I like. :) [20:20] portland user is bitter because portland. [20:21] !attitude > RyanD [20:21] RyanD, please see my private message === danielboston26 is now known as KB1WAG [20:21] ..... [20:21] mstenta: but I am more interested in what kernel was booted when this was done; so it depends on whether you installed kernels and didn't reboot [20:21] celthunder: Does this use a script I can edit? [20:21] Rather than being ridiculously passive-aggressive, I'd love for you to explain your issue. [20:22] I come on here to get a question answered and you're hassling me for no reason at all. [20:22] jrib: hm… no /boot/grub - maybe because it's a virtual server? [20:22] ericluwolf: fsck.ntfs not found [20:22] * RyanD waits for next bot command! [20:22] mintman: .xmonad/xmonad.hs [20:22] RyanD, no issue your on a family channel use appropritte language and read te code of conduct. [20:22] portland taunts me with sun, got a hour of it yesterday before it started dumping buckets on me again. [20:22] can anyone help me uninstalling unity? [20:22] mstenta: I'm not familiar with rackspace. What's the latest version in /boot? [20:22] celthunder: thanks understand, hope this as easy to play with as conky [20:23] jrib: /boot is empty :-/ [20:23] !notunity | prezeus [20:23] prezeus: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [20:23] i tried googling appropritte but I just got a link to a Lexus forum, can you please explain what you mean? [20:23] prezeus: and replace it with what? [20:23] Hi, what telephone does canonical use to show the Ubuntu on Android demo? [20:23] mstenta: maybe it gets mounted elsewhere [20:23] Sorry for taking up space with this, anyways, hydrox24_ donde esta el bash logs? [20:23] mintman: yeah try using mrelendigs config as a starting point [20:23] celthunder: give it a try [20:24] iceroot: gnome2 [20:24] prezeus: not possible [20:24] mintman: may want to install dmenu or gmrun as well [20:24] prezeus: there is no gnome2 anymore [20:24] fairuz_: you might want to try #ubuntu-phone if you don't get an answer here [20:24] iceroot: I mean no google shell no unity.... [20:24] fairuz_: picture looks like samsumg prime [20:24] icerrot: gnome-panels... [20:24] prezeus: you mean gnome-shell? [20:25] that's useful info. I have not delved yet. still running lucid. my son likes it on his netbook though [20:25] prezeus: there is no gnome2 anymore, so you have to choose, unity, gnome3, kde4, lxde, xfce4 [20:25] thanks. By t he way, just to make it clear. What canonical shows is not the same as some tutorials I found on the net on how to get Ubuntu on Android right? something using vnc and stuff. [20:25] iceroot: I don't want gnome-shell either, just gnome panels... [20:25] prezeus: sudo apt-get install gnome-fallback === Mud is now known as Guest21402 [20:25] fairuz_: yes its something totally different canocial is showinh [20:25] prezeus: That's as close as it gets to gnome2, HOWEVER it's NOT gnome2. [20:26] iceroot: it looks very nice [20:26] celthunder: looking over darcs [20:26] jrib: ok… it's 2.6.32 [20:26] theadmin: but I heard that there is problems with the panels ? [20:26] fairuz_: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android [20:26] prezeus: Well... "problems"? I don't know what kind of problems do you mean, they act and look a bit differently [20:26] fairuz_: yes, its a really killer-feature (imo) and i am very happy about what canocial is doing there [20:26] prezeus, the gnome-shel will give you gone 3 and the fall back gnome a pseudo gnome 2 [20:27] s/shell//gnome [20:27] Hey what do I do if my version of Ubuntu wont update properly? I get a 404 not found error when trying to update [20:27] mstenta: which one :) [20:27] prezeus: Try XFCE, it's almost exactly same as Gnome2, you'll feel right at home with it [20:27] mintman: pretty cool right [20:27] theadmin: thank you!! [20:27] beatboxhero, what release? [20:27] beatboxhero: which ubuntu version? [20:27] iceroot: Well we share the same opinion then :). [20:27] theadmin: I'll try it [20:27] beatboxhero: try a different repo server [20:27] beatboxhero: cat /etc/issue to find out [20:27] mstenta: anyway, this is probably something you should also be contacting rackspace about if they're the ones managing your kernel [20:28] hmm not sure what version it is. i will have to check [20:28] How do I change the repo server with a GUI? [20:28] beatboxhero: dont change the repo server [20:28] jrib: no worries, i'm already starting a new server and moving stuff over… i'm just poking around in the old one now to figure out what happened. [20:28] lol [20:28] beatboxhero: please provide the output of "cat /etc/issue" [20:29] jrib: … just trying to figure out how they got in so i can prevent it on the new server [20:29] where would log messages be placed for a failed mount call for mounting a NFS directory? /var/log/messages doesn't show anything [20:29] okay will do [20:29] mstenta: what services were you running on the old server? [20:29] beatboxhero: ""lsb_release -sc" would be a bit faster [20:29] does 11.10 desktop not have any screensavers? [20:29] JJasonClark: stderr on your shell and not in any logs [20:29] what does that do? [20:29] beatboxhero: shows your version [20:29] jrib: all kinds of good stuff ;-) ssh, apache, mysql, solr, webmin [20:29] aww! awesome [20:30] iceroot: shoot. oh well. program not registered isn't very useful. I need to research more I guess [20:30] jrib: i appreciate your help! what do you mean when you say "which one"? what should i look for exactly? [20:30] !webmin | mstenta [20:30] mstenta: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [20:30] celthunder: got alot of flexiblity to windows manager. This will take me some time to learn seeing how I'm not a programmer. But I can say the Windows manager should rock [20:31] Okay there we go im on karmic [20:31] mstenta: well at least in the ubuntu repositories, there are various versions available of kernel 3.0.0... they are of the form 3.0.0-13, 3.0.0-14, and so on [20:31] hi mintman [20:31] ubottu: thanks, yea i heard that recently… i don't think i'll be putting it on the new server. do you think that caused the intrusion somehow? any way to know? [20:31] mstenta: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:31] !eol | beatboxhero [20:31] beatboxhero: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[20:32] beatboxhero: read the links from ubottu [20:32] mstenta: webmin being the source of your problem would not surprise me at all [20:32] i have a problem? [20:32] Shojo: sorry wrong person [20:32] beatboxhero: your version is no longer supported and the repos moved [20:32] jrib: ah ok… i googled for how to find out the version number, found /usr/include/linux/version.h with a LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132640 [20:32] oh lol [20:32] beatboxhero: because of that you get 404 [20:32] I'm on 12.04; what do I need to do to have lightdm source ~/.xsession? [20:32] JJasonClark: #ubuntu+1 [20:32] jmazzi: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (now beta). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [20:33] Makes perfect sense. thanks!

[20:52] santoshfamily: architecture, i386 = 32 bit, amd64 = 64 bit [20:52] bennyp: look, boot up, sudo su so you're root. next, you need to mount your stuffs. mkdir mnt. cd mnt. now, mount / in mnt, and /boot if it is separate .. then, chroot mnt /bin/bash , grub-install --boot-directory=/boot [20:52] 32bit and 64bit [20:52] hydrox24_: qmr: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-corrupted-windows-ntfs-filesystem-ubuntu/ suggests using lilo [20:52] bennyp: make sense?

(like a cluster application controller) [20:52] bennyp: also update-grub afterwards [20:52] does it also tell the processor ? [20:52] or maybe keep them running and report SNMP if something is stopped [20:53] santoshfamily: you choose which version based on your processor, not the other way around === Kartrohm is now known as Kartrohm_afk [20:54] bennyp: I wouldn't jump on that boat quite yet [20:54] santoshfamily: well, that's no 100% true [20:54] qmr: i'm using the livecd to fix a busted win7 install, and hopefully clear the corrupted ntfs partitions away for ubuntu [20:54] i have amd processor which will be the correct ? [20:55] santoshfamily: depends, is it 64bit - & do you want 64bit [20:55] bennyp: OK, I'm giving the go ahead for using lilo now [20:55] bennyp: ? what is your goal [20:55] bennyp: tell us the command before you run it though. [20:55] how to know that ? [20:55] santoshfamily: i386 will work no matter what [20:55] qmr: fix broken windows mbr [20:55] qmr: ubuntu on a toshiba netbook with a wonky ssd [20:55] hmph, I have to based on mu gfx card... not suppoerted in newer ubuntus (last for me is 10.10) [20:55] hydrox24_: lilo -M /dev/sda (the ntfs drive) mbr [20:55] Hi I have a really quick question as to installing ubuntu 12.04, I want to install alongside Windows 7 so I'm trying to use the "install alongside option" but the slider that lets you allocate disk space does not tell you which side is for ubuntu and which is for windows can someone tell me which is which? [20:56] hydrox24_: qmr: problem is, fdisk only SOMETIMES recogs /dev/sda [20:56] bennyp: i don't think installing lilo is goint to help you, but i haven't been following - seems like an MS issue to me... [20:56] !precise | chris [20:56] chris: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [20:56] chrisg91: 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 until it is released [20:57] zykotick9: except i don't have windows boot media that works :/ [20:57] bennyp: I would suggest a lowecase M, let me check. [20:57] zykotick9: and i can't seem to be able to just wipe the drive [20:57] minixvbox: okay thank you [20:57] bennyp: another observation, using gnu/linux to try and fix NTFS isn't the greatest solution... [20:57] bennyp: ms-sys isn't there anymore, but there is still the package "mbr" that might work [20:57] bennyp: alright, your all good, go for it! [20:57] bennyp: I thought you wanted to fix mbr to boot into ubuntu and windows. I'm confused. if you want to install just install .. [20:57] ben use better hardware I guess.. [20:57] LjL: unabel to locate pkg [20:58] !info mbr [20:58] hydrox24_: fatal read in/out error [20:58] mbr (source: mbr): Master Boot Record for IBM-PC compatible computers.. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.11-4 (oneiric), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB [20:58] qmr: would love to, it's the client's [20:58] bennyp: it's there in Oneiric. what version of Ubuntu are you using? keep in mind it's in Universe, you might need to enable that. [20:58] bennyp: do you know which partition the mbr is on? or which partition the mbr is? [20:58] hi [20:58] bennyp: if your harddisk is failing then you need a new one (chkdsk and fsck can't repair hardware faults) [20:59] lukafulmine: g'day! [20:59] hydrox24_: uh, the MBR on a partition? [20:59] hydrox24_: MBR are never on partitions, they have a different name then [20:59] LjL: qmr hydrox24_ summing up: I'm running off the liveiso (usb) on a toshiba netbook. the client has three ntfs partitions with at least 932 bad sectors [20:59] i can't use chkdsk because i dont have working windows boot media [20:59] bennyp: if your harddisk is failing then you need a new one (chkdsk and fsck can't repair hardware faults) [21:00] hydrox24_ are you from australia??? [21:00] minixvbox: i'd like to avoid that conclusion if i can [21:00] minixvbox: but at this hour of the night i might have to [21:00] bennyp: and your goal is restoring the client? i think your first goal should be salvaging the data, the hard disk is probably broken [21:00] anybody have a clue on how get lvm-encryption to work in ubuntu [21:00] LjL: they dont have data, IIRC [21:00] bennyp: how do you propose to work around 900+ bad sectors? [21:01] minixvbox: i have no proposal >:D [21:01] bennyp: you need a new harddrive, that is the fix [21:01] bennyp: well as others are saying, you're probably just wasting your time with an HDD that's broken anyway. but even if you want to try anyway, it's seriously not a good idea to try to fix NTFS from within Ubuntu, so i really think you should procure a Windows CD to do that [21:02] LjL: no cd rom drive. its a netbook [21:03] bennyp: have u tried to run SeaTools or some similair tool [21:03] hey folks. I just did a fresh install of 10.04 on a brand new machine and it doesn't seem to be detecting my ethernet adaptor :/ [21:03] bennyp: well a USB key then, it's possible if i recall correctly to make one from a Windows CD using some software that Microsoft provides (although you probably need another Windows computer to do that one) [21:03] bennyp: If the bad clusters are stable, you may be ok - for a while. If they're changing, the drive is actively failing. The rules for an SSD are a little different, but usually it's only a short matter of time before it fails completely. [21:04] bennyp: Most rescue CD's will have an image that will work from a USB drive (and there are USB CDs). [21:04] 2team: jhutchins_wk : thanks [21:04] bennyp: have you run smartmontools on the drive, by the way? that might tell you whether the drive is irremediably gone, or whether those bad sectors are just a one-off event (which i find unlikely, but). [21:04] LjL: says smart not supported [21:04] Andi_M: (not uncommon for 10.04LTS) your ethernet is probably not supported OOTB - i have that issue with 10.04 on one of my EEEs, but a newer ubuntu worked fine [21:04] bennyp: uhm, are you use it's an HDD? some netbooks have flash memory instead [21:05] LjL: it's /dev/sda [21:05] does that imply flash? [21:05] Asking agan with more detail: My 10.04 install keeps hanging at the "choose timezone" page. It doesn't matter if I'm online or not. [21:05] bennyp: no, that doesn't imply much. which model is it? [21:05] LjL: i think he has an ssd [21:05] toshiba nb205 [21:05] bennyp: actually that says close to nothing these days - only that it's using scsi emulation [21:05] zykotick9: thanks [21:07] 2team: i'd love to run a good disk diagnostic, but don't have one on usb at the moment. can you recomment an image to flash? [21:07] bennyp: uhm, the specs of one NB205 model say HDD, but maybe other sub-models have SSD, i wouldn't know. how big is it? if <32GB or so, then it's probably SSD, otherwise probably HDD [21:07] its 250. probably hdd [21:08] if i want to run gnome 3 shell, is it safe to sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop? [21:08] bennyp: im on an nb205 atm works fine [21:09] celthunder: i'm jealous ;) i think this one's hdd is shot [21:09] !nounity | caycep [21:09] caycep: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:09] caycep, no [21:09] bennyp: If I were u I would download Ultimate boot cd and then run Seati [21:09] * Batshua drops a pin [21:09] caycep, which ubuntu release do you have? [21:09] oneiric [21:10] bennyp: swap the hdd its like a 2 second process for the nb205s [21:10] Seatools or some other tool [21:10] i started out w/ minimal xubuntu isntall lol [21:10] caycep, leave unity there, just install gnome-shell. [21:10] Zteam: ok i'll try it out thank. any chance to boot from a second partition of my usb drive? [21:10] yeah that's what i have. [21:10] prob shouldn't mess w/ it [21:10] yeah:) [21:10] celthunder: i would if i could but i dont have another on hand. will try at first op though [21:10] i was a bit perf conscious - i moved over from an old p4 w/ 1gb ram to a core i5 w/ 4 gb ram [21:11] !list [21:11] gpm: No warez here!

[21:31] mneptok: yes thats right, any ideas? [21:31] libertyp1ime: depends on which notification daemon you use, if you install notify-osd, it should start automatically when something sends a notification, if you use, say, notification-daemon, you may need to start /usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon first manually (it is usually started by /etc/xdg/autostart/notification-daemon.desktop) [21:31] Zteam: not really.

[21:43] (I want to upgrade, not do a fresh install) [21:44] junctions: I believe you usually want to upgrade to each release in sequence, fix any issues, then upgrade to the next. [21:44] In the software sources it has "Add CD-ROM" which doesn't prompt me for USB information (computer has no optical drive unit) [21:44] junctions, chances are an upgrade installation would break your system from that far back. [21:44] !eol | junctions [21:44] junctions: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [21:44] junctions: You could download the alternate cd and upgrade off off that I believe. [21:44] uuu awesome link there from minixvbox/ubottu [21:44] junctions: So you'd do 10.4, 10.10, 11.4, 11.10 [21:45] what would be the proper way to assign a NIC on my Ubuntu server two IP addresses (like in windows you can assign an network card a second IP in the advanced options for IP configuration) [21:45] On a side note, are graphical artifacts upon login common under precise? [21:45] wow! thanks for the flood of help! I'll follow ubottu's link, and thanks for pointing me to doing sequential upgrades. luckily I'm only one step inside EOL, so the others should be a breeze [21:45] junctions: you'd save a lot of bandwidth and time if you fresh install though [21:46] any one has nmap and could help me scan a host, please?

I use powersave governor. anyone got an idea? [21:47] johnnycr, far from expert... but what seems to be the issue? [21:47] thanks minixvbox. I don't mind sparing bandwidth, and I don't want to have to decide what to save and what not. hopefully it won't crash midway [21:47] johnnycr, what kind of NIC is it? [21:47] could any one scan 67.208.220.116 67.208.220.118 with a network mapping tool, please?

[21:48] junctions: always backup what you need first (whether upgrading or fresh install) [21:48] range would be fine [21:48] no actualy both [21:48] thanks [21:48] pythonsnake, there is a cpu frequency applet you can get check OMGubuntu I believe [21:48] give me a sec [21:48] trever420, its Realtek 8188su [21:48] Python1320, sorry never mind, :) [21:48] I don't think that would solve my problem... [21:48] junctions, you could also go from 10.04 LTS straight to 12.04 LTS without all the point releases in between. [21:49] pythonsnake: why were you asking on #archlinux earlier?

[21:57] sorry.... johnnycr i assume you tried the linux driver right? [21:57] SHOVELL, id' recommend gpartd if your not familiar with partitioning with fdisk. [21:57] trever420, yea I tried a few different methods to install the driver [21:57] trever420, is there a way to tell if the driver is installed properly? [21:57] jiffe98, I've been using JEDIT as a notepad++ replacement, although not sure if it does what your asking [21:58] hmm other methods solve problem [21:58] in format [21:58] johnnycr are u using Desktop edition or Server edition?

[21:59] Not sure where to make this comment, but is it just me, or is the MSWin8 interface remarkably similar to the Gnome3/Unity interface? [21:59] desktop [21:59] trever420, I'm actually using Lubuntu, but it's not a server edition [21:59] oh hmm give me a sec [21:59] SHOVELL, you can't resize a partition your using [21:59] secher: I think they're both trying to borrow from Apple/ [21:59] SHOVELL: you can't resize a partition that is in use (mounted), so yes you need to use a livecd [21:59] ... live cd it is [21:59] SHOVELL, Yes, the partitions need to be unmounted. If it's all on the same physical disk, you not really gaining much by doing it. [21:59] thank you [22:00] minixvbox: Actually, while a bad idea, it's possible. I think gparted will do it.

Dont forget to edit you FSTAB [22:02] johnnycr one thing i think you can do is check this file with a text editor: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and see if you see the card listed there [22:02] ugh know of a good tut for this? [22:02] SHOVELL: That's not bad with console use, but remember all of the quirky little hidden, version-dependent configuration files in $HOME. [22:02] there;s a section there that says "DRIVERS==" [22:03] see if it even has a the WLAN interface listed there [22:03] if I have a APC that is 420 watts and its running around 800-900 watts is that bad to keep it plugged in running that high on overload? or does it not matter [22:03] (with the MAC address) [22:03] minixvbox: I've known people who did it, so yes, possible.

[22:18] ok 'tok I'll check [22:18] trever420, mneptok, one sec [22:18] k [22:18] trever420 : yes ,and i managed some how to add a file /etc/grub.d/ named 11_windows and added somethings on it and it ended with a windows word in the grub and when i choose it it opens another grub 1.5 and a grub command like this grub> [22:19] mneptok, that command gave me no output [22:19] Sifrazooy, are u using Grub2? [22:19] no MAC filter [22:19] johnnycr: is this an internal card? a dongle? [22:19] i assume anyways u would be [22:19] trever420 : yes [22:19] mneptok, it's a usb dongle [22:19] looks to be alot of issues with it in ubuntu mneptok [22:19] johnnycr: have you tried having the dongle actually connected as the machine boots? [22:20] i dunno if ndiswrapper would work mneptok and maybe use the windows driver on it [22:20] trever420 do you have any solution for it [22:20] mneptok, its a dongle, yes I have it connected as it boots [22:20] Sifrazooy, just a sec looking into it [22:20] johnnycr: "uname -a" please [22:20] trever420, i followed these http://paste.ubuntu.com/872132/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1622313 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1573669 [22:21] trever420 thnx [22:21] can i install the new unity 5.4 in oneiric [22:21] ?

[22:28] newtony2: what do you already know? [22:28] johnnycr, boot an 11.10 Live CD and see if you can get it too work from there, if so, the module is ion the kernel. [22:28] newtony2: this is Ubuntu support only. [22:28] !git | newtony2 [22:28] newtony2: git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) [22:28] yes, and #git [22:28] newtony2: there are plenty of better places to find git tutorials. [22:28] .. is in the kernel .. [22:28] KI7MT, I'm currently running 11.10 though [22:28] nothing other than it is used to host source code and you can clone and edit the source [22:28] Linus created git? no wonder its so bad [22:29] ba dum PSH [22:29] johnnycr, well then you could try 12.04 Beta but it's not likely to be there either. [22:29] What model is your wii card? [22:30] so if i wanted to install python on ios is would use the git to download the source then compile it for (i think) ARM [22:31] Sifrazooy, i see tat there is an entry in your grub config that says set root='(hd0,msdos6) [22:32] hi, I can't scale freq anymore: frequency should be within 2.40 GHz and 2.40 GHz. I use powersave governor. anyone got an idea? [22:32] newtony2, python is so popular I would hope ios has a pre-compiled binary available for install [22:32] newtony2: how is this related to ubuntu?

[22:36] cweagans: i would test the amd64 ver but it may be buggy. if it is then use the x86 [22:37] newtony2: will I get any extra benefit if I use the 64bit version? [22:37] KI7MT, 8188 is supposed to be compatible with kernel version 2.6x. Are there previous versions of ubuntu that run on that kernel that I could use? [22:37] the value should be ['nautilus-home.desktop', 'google-chrome.desktop'] but what is that in GVAriant format? [22:37] johnnycr, see my pm [22:38] johnnycr, I just looked at what's ion the kernel, and I didn't see 8188 listed anywhere, let me search the kernel again. [22:38] SHOVELL, that worked for you?

[23:07] gmachine_24, run rsync thru ssh and you should be good. [23:07] K17MT ok. [23:07] gmachine_24, you can use ssh to get a shell on that machine, thats what I suggest [23:08] gmachine_24, example: rsync -avz -e ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/dir /this/dir/ [23:08] Sifrazooy: are you talking about the actual grub executable? [23:08] FILO: This is how it looked from scratch http://paste.ubuntu.com/872204/ [23:08] Chipzzz: the grub files that Fyodorovna told me to delete [23:08] Sifrazooy, you might see afile named boot and in it would be one called grub, anything with the name grub should be deletd [23:09] K17MT - is ssh installed by default or must I install it? [23:09] Chipzzz, he has grub-legacy in a windows boot partition. [23:09] how do you change users permissions on ubuntu 11.10? previously user-admin allowed me to specify that xyz user could connect to and manage network connections without sudo access [23:09] i cant use WUBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[23:10] OK, thanks. I'm sure I can take it from here. :) [23:10] Hey guys, I'ved OC'd my CPU and would like to know how to find out my CPU speed in ubuntu 11.10 [23:10] http://i.imgur.com/dyl6p.png [23:10] KushTime, cat /proc/cpuinfo [23:10] Chipzzz, for your pleasure. :) http://pastebin.com/tNPyfzdM [23:11] pfifo, that does not show me the right info, it says my cpu MHz is 1400, that's not even stock [23:11] Fyodorovna: sry but is there any way that i can know the name of sda1 [23:11] and how do i use that? [23:11] Sifrazooy, it is the smallest partition, if that helps. [23:11] but the pyrun wont go away [23:11] !who|gassypoots [23:11] gassypoots: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I would like to build from scratch instead of re-packaging the initrd that orchestra installs [23:19] Sifrazooy, you have gparted installed in ubunrtu? [23:19] Fyodorovna: installing it right now :D [23:19] Zehle instead of x-window-manager & replace with gnome-session & then restart server [23:19] cant get pyrun to go away!!!! [23:19] ipl31, I know of one... [23:19] Filo: Yreah i know. I'm trying now [23:20] Sifrazooy, cool, open it and right click on sda2 then manage flags and then boot [23:20] desnaike: x-window-manager must be active [23:20] Fyodorovna: i opend gparted what should i do should i format the 100 mb partition [23:20] why doesn't Ubuntu font work in windows? [23:20] or you don't have window [23:20] hi, I can't scale freq anymore: frequency should be within 2.40 GHz and 2.40 GHz. I use powersave governor. anyone got an idea? [23:20] Sifrazooy, right click on sda2 then manage flags and then boot [23:20] Pikkachu ask microsoft?

[23:24] Sifrazooy, so boot the windows disc after the language hit r then get to the windows command line the terminal and run all of these commands.

Under normal circumstances your computer can only handle running one Operating System at a time. [23:26] Sifrazooy, make sur after the commands you reboot to windows it should go straight in if working reload grub to the mbr again from the ubuntu cd. [23:26] Filo1234: Explain as if you explained for a noob! :) [23:26] pfifo: tell the font authors to stop putting it available under windows [23:26] pfifo: and stop non-sense [23:27] If I upgrade to 11.10, can I keep my same desktop?

[23:30] Filo1234: Okej, well got to go ;) Thanks for your help, It will work somehow ;) Haha! See ya! [23:30] Sifrazooy, the only catch might be the grub-leagcy in the sda1 but I doubt it will be a problem, if it is just reformat sda1 as a ntfs and then do all this again. === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [23:30] how to call an operator?

[23:39] Phosphate: I thought at this point Unity was to be a Touch screen distro... Is Ubuntu pointing the Unity desktop in a new direction I also seen at SEC them working to possibly intergrate into TV and cable shows ? Is there a new aim to the update??? [23:43] mintman: I believe Unity is intended to be the main UI for standard desktop for everything so touchscreen as well as kb/mouse, but I don't have any cool inside info. [23:44] Zehle: btw what x session uses remote machines? [23:45] can you please help me with (L)ubuntu 11.10 on PowerMac G3 (B&W)?

How do you go about changing this? [23:57] JJasonClark, a quick search on Amazon, there's several UB Server Books listed. [23:57] Kimlaroux, i think 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc` should do it [23:57] pfifo, I'll try that, thanks [23:57] It also covers Ubuntu specificaly and is a big pile of dead trees if you opt for the version [23:57] Phosphate: have you read this book? Did it work for you? The cover looks interesting [23:59] jjasonClark yes I've actually bought every edition of it dating back to the 90s when it was just Unix System Administration Handbook. It's really solid and written by guys who know their stuff.
