[00:00] Lirth: fdisk is your friend. [00:00] f3chh4r: the 1st drive gets the mbr? [00:00] waxstone, if you use the custom install you will just point grub at the correct drive, the custom is caled something other in the gui asking where to install. [00:00] waxstone: yeap [00:00] a/called [00:00] f3ck4r, waxstone: what is mbr? [00:00] the problem actually could be cuz he is trying to write the mbr in another hdd, and that is probably the issue. [00:01] Lirth do you know if the unbuntu driv eis the 1st drive? [00:01] waxstone: for boot priority? [00:01] Lirth, Master Boot Record === BrainVirus is now known as The-Glorious-Hyp === The-Glorious-Hyp is now known as The-Hypnotoad [00:01] Lirth, order connected to motherboard [00:02] waxstone: Is that based on cabling? [00:02] Lirth: as f3ck4r says the mbr might be on 1 drive and ubuntu on the other drive [00:02] Lirth, yes cabling === ai9371 is now known as pyguy7 [00:02] waxstone: if im not wrong there is a way to set it manually, if he knew how to do it [00:03] waxstone: I have an Asus Sabertooth p67. How to I rearrange it to get it right? === The-Hypnotoad is now known as BrainVirus [00:04] Lirth, You have PATA drives so the drive at the end of the cable is drive 1 [00:04] waxstone: I have 2 drive 1s? [00:04] f3ch4r: im sure there is a simple way to do this [00:05] Lirth, connection in midle of cable [00:05] waxstone: I have two cables. One for each drive. I have no idea what you're talking about. [00:06] Hi, my cron script isnt working and its also not reporting errors to the log file(i changed it because it was emailing me) * * * * * php /var/www/cron/cronscript.php > /var/www/cron/cronlog.txt [00:06] any ideas? [00:06] Lirth, is the cable wide and fat or less than 1/2 inch [00:06] does it look like this http://www.eutronix.com/IDE_cable.htm [00:06] waxstone: less than 1/2 inch. It's a modern SATA cable [00:07] ok SATA on the mother board look for sata0 for 1st drive [00:07] waxstone: Nothing like that. [00:07] lowest sata on board is the 1st drive [00:07] Sir_Fawnpug: ~$ sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdf /home/solus/node1 [00:07] or look in your BIOS [00:07] mount: special device /dev/sdf does not exist [00:08] amaroks, you need a partition number [00:08] Probably [00:08] Maybe sdf1? [00:08] Can you ls /dev and pastebin the result for me? [00:08] whats that? in EC2 i see this i-07c16b63 (FTP server):/dev/sdf (attached) [00:09] I find it hard to belive that ubuntu hasn't had an official release for NVIDIA GTX 500 series products... [00:09] Sir_Fawnpug: http://pastebin.com/K9tsCNmH [00:09] nug700, that's up to NVidia. [00:09] nug700: the drive is old ;( [00:10] None even show up in "Hardware drivers" [00:10] waxstone: The sata ports are stacked on my mobo. I found the label "boot device led" but I can't tell which one. [00:10] Fyodorovna: thanks, I tihkn thats the advance partitioning section last in the list [00:10] nug700, if you're using the proprietary drivers anyway [00:10] I don't mean the ones from Nvidia [00:10] Do you mean nouveaux? [00:10] Or however you spell it [00:11] I mean the ones that would be availible in the package manager [00:11] waxstone, in the latest release it is called something other at the botom. [00:11] Lirth, when you installed which option did you choose(it gives 4 options)? [00:11] bottom [00:11] HEY [00:11] WHERE DO I GO TO REPORT A TROLL?? [00:11] wut [00:11] amarok, can you type mount for me and put that in a pastebin? [00:11] whoops this is ubuntu [00:11] LOL xD [00:11] sorry [00:11] Ekki: hell [00:11] hell? [00:11] Ekki, #ubuntu-ops for this channel. [00:11] Ekki: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:11] oh ok [00:12] Ekki: ;> [00:12] nug700, you can get both from the package manager, although I think the proprietary drivers are in multiverse [00:12] butts [00:12] waxstone: I only saw two at first, but I used the advanced one when I was following instructions online. [00:12] Ok.. when i first installed ubuntu months ago, i check "hardware drivers" for my graphcis drivers.. but nothing was showing up [00:13] Lirth, the instructions online were for 1 drive or two? [00:13] Sir_Fawnpug: whats this you must specify the filesystem type [00:13] i think installed the ones from Nvidia's website.. but apparently those aren't the ones i'm siposed to use [00:13] amaroks, sometimes -t auto fails; what kind of filesystem is on that drive? [00:13] I installd the ones* [00:13] Lirth, do you have Ubuntu installed and it wont boot? [00:14] Um, little question here, would really appreciate a solution. Lost my Wine menu entry, somehow, in the Main Menu of LXDE's Desktop Manager to Ubuntu, so now I can't uninstall a game. How do I bring it back? [00:14] Lirth, did you make a /boot on the same drive as ubuntu? [00:14] Fyodorovna, grub fails for him but installed successfully [00:14] waxstone: Don't think so. I selected the drive for it though. [00:14] Sir_Fawnpug: its just a fresh ebs volume [00:14] Why could me internet connection be slower and act dumb on Ubuntu? [00:14] waxstone, is the hd first in the list, there is a script that an be run that will save the 20 questions [00:14] Halexander9000, I think the wine config is called winecfg in the console [00:15] amaroks, maybe you need to install filesystem drivers for it [00:15] bootinfo | lirth run this script and pastebin the results text. [00:15] Sir_Fawnpug: And, how does that put it back in the main menu? [00:15] Fyodorovna, please save me ! =) [00:15] !bootinfo | lirth run this script and pastebin the results text. [00:15] lirth run this script and pastebin the results text.: 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). [00:16] Halexander9000, maybe I misunderstood what you were asking; I thought you had lost the ability to configure wine [00:16] amaroks, I dug something up for you that might help: http://yoodey.com/how-attach-and-mount-ebs-volume-ec2-instance-ubuntu-1010 [00:16] calico: what u mean by act dumb?! [00:16] Yeah I found that a minute ago [00:16] Fyodoronva: I can't run it. I can't even to use the terminal [00:17] Sir_Fawnpug: Actually, I lost the ability to navigate within the Wine File System because the Wine Menu in my StartMenu/MainMenu doesn't show up anymore. So I can't locate the uninstall program for this Limbo indy game that just refuses to run on my 2008 ASUS EEE PC 904HD. [00:17] Lirth, you boot a live ubuntu cd and run it, if you wanrt this fixed do it. [00:17] f3ck4r, it just stalls at some point, skype disconnect, page don't load, while on my other pc (xp) which is just by me everything is ok [00:17] want [00:17] ok... should i use the x-swat PPA for my nvidia gtx 500 series card or not.. because my package manage/jockey doesn't have them apparent;y [00:18] Halexander9000, where's your wine root? [00:18] Lirth: just run from the pendrive or whatever u have and mount the partiiton were you install ubuntu [00:18] appparently* [00:18] Sir_Fawnpug: I haven't the slightest idea. [00:19] Halexander9000, this won't solve your menu problem, but it will let you uninstall your game [00:19] But if you locate your wine root (probably ~/.wine) you can run the uninstall program directly from the console with wine prog-name [00:19] Lirth, question after question is not needed things get confused the script will tell us where everything is then it is a easy fix. [00:19] Sir_Fawnpug: Will uninstalling and reinstalling return that entry back into the menu? [00:19] Halexander9000, possibly, I couldn't tell you. [00:19] Almost all oft he Windows Software I run is 15 years old [00:19] Sir_Fawnpug: I'll try that. [00:20] Lirth, Boot off your USB [00:20] ok... should i use the x-swat PPA for my nvidia gtx 500 series card or not.. because my package manage/jockey doesn't have them. [00:20] f3ck4r, for example, i'm now trying to download a firefox addon, it says 0 bytes/sec and it doesn't load it ... [00:21] grubconf [00:21] calico: server?!

How do I set a keyring password for the guest user account? [00:25] Is this even possib le? [00:25] Fyodorovna: "Looks like this is the first time you've run irssi." etc. [00:25] There's a "For Ubuntu specific help type "/connect irc.ubuntu.com" line near the end so I figured it was ubuntu specific [00:26] if u are using that crap network-manager omg! that is garbage. [00:26] Is there any way to set a keyring password for the guest user on ubuntu? [00:26] the first thing that i've do is purge that crap.

[00:31] Lirth, did you make a boot partition as well when you installed you have no bootloader in the mbr and are missing files. [00:31] Fyodorovna: I thought I did. I guess I'll reinstall again and try doing that. [00:32] waxstone, missing files as well needs a chroot in and a purge and reinstall of grub and loading to the mbr [00:32] waxstone: like i said, he need to set some space to install ubuntu on same partition and for me it is where is the ssd [00:33] Lirth, don'y use a boot partition if you did. [00:33] don't [00:34] a live thing can fix the problem D; [00:34] can someone please help, I installed ubunto server, created /var/www but I nothing I put there shows up through browser [00:35] Lirth, f3ck4r , fyodorovna: My knowledge of grub doesnt extend to this much fixing [00:35] hello every body, [00:35] how to active monitor mode in ubuntu? [00:35] waxstone, not a easy thing it took me a long time to figure some of it out, the bootscript helps a great deal. [00:36] Fyodorovna, yes im definitely taking notes. thanks for this script [00:36] if im not wrong he can run a live ubuntu, mount the partiiton that actually have ubuntu and reinstall grub and fix the path of it. [00:37] waxstone, I learned it all on the ubuntu forums, there are a group that knows this stuff some are mods.

[00:52] Lirth, did you reinstall? [00:52] Fyodorovn: Yeah. Now it just boots with the blinky underscore. [00:53] Lirth, I will trigger the bots message on nomodeet, then when in do a update and upgrade and then look in additional drivers [00:53] !nomodeset | Lirth [00:53] Lirth: 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.

[01:25] onoez_omg: my issue with that is that nautilus likes to freeze up when i lose my network connection; i was doing that previously [01:25] oh [01:26] i'm planning on trying out autofs (or perhaps autossh somehow) to deal with the loss of network connection, but so far sshfs seems to be more responsive than sftp via nautilus [01:26] maybe it could be sorta a workaround to unmount it totally before putting laptop to sleep :/ [01:26] !bash | whiskey [01:26] whiskey: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[02:24] I created my own cataclyst packages for natty and installed them with dpkg -i; but the graphics driver is not activated. When I try to activate them via the GUI, I get an error message. [02:24] royale1223: the channel motd clearly states [02:25] i mean users I create after installation [02:25] How can I activate them manually? [02:25] Does the ubuntu liveCD have gparted on it? [02:25] Level1: yes [02:25] Wulf: What is wrong with the default radeon driver? [02:25] soreau: too old, doesn't support my hardware [02:26] Wulf: What version of ubuntu and what card model? [02:26] I have a check tha t not working [02:26] [ ! dpkg -l "libssl-dev" &>/dev/null ] <--- its finds it [02:26] ActionParsnip: I know that. I just need to know how to look deep into this? How do I get an error log etc? [02:26] but under version its says none cuz its not installed [02:26] how to make it check for version also and its not allowed to be none? [02:26] soreau: natty and.. uh.. pci ID 1002:9644 [02:27] how do i limit the number of concurrent logins over ssh to 1 per user? [02:27] onoez_omg: I've had problems with my rt73 raylink wifi device I can't seem to get it to go into master mode also any more. I guess it's the firmware they now install in the device that's the cause [02:27] soreau: some oneboard crap, "AMD Radeon HD 6410D [02:27] Sumo_Desktop" [02:28] Wulf: You might consider installing 12.04 when it's released [02:28] Wulf: but to use the proprietary driver.. why didn't you try to install it with the gui to begin with? [02:28] how to open an app with proxy? === dubellz is now known as tdubellz === fasdfas is now known as SixtyFold [02:29] soreau: I have more than one of these machines. I did that on the first one, driver is too old for my hardware. [02:30] hello [02:30] soreau: so I built packages for the new driver. Works good on first one, doesn't load on others [02:30] Wulf: You might consider trying the radeon driver default in 12.04 [02:30] It should support it AFAIK [02:30] I cannot get my Ubuntu system to boot after moving the partition to a different position on the disk. Can anyone help? [02:30] I just received a security update for oneric. I forgot to look at the description or summary. Can someone point me to where this info is archived? [02:30] why does do programs create a .folder name in ~ making a cluttered mess? wouldnt be better for all programs to make a subfolder within one folder in ~ [02:30] -does [02:31] soreau: but I'm not running 12.04 :-) [02:31] soreau: and my packages are fine [02:31] Wulf: So what's the problem? [02:31] it's just that ubuntu doesn't load them [02:31] * the driver [02:32] Wulf: Can you pastebin.com your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? [02:32] helo__: same disk? did you modify /etc/fstab to match new config? [02:32] soreau: sure, give me a minute [02:33] is there a technical reason that programs make a folder ~ ? [02:34] helo__: I think you will also have to update-grub, as I guess it's not finding /boot where it would expect [02:35] sacarlson: is /boot not in /boot? [02:36] wulf: I'm not sure, that depends on what helo__: moved to where [02:36] eein-: they hold the config for the app for that user [02:37] royale1223: ask in #ubuntu+1 and they can help [02:37] helo__: you can run this script for more info [02:37] !bootinfo [02:37] 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). [02:38] ActionParsnip: okay. thaks [02:38] soreau: note to myself, don't trust what that other sysadmin is doing. [02:39] soreau: installed driver packages, works fine. Sorry :-) [02:39] ActionParsnip, i know what they do but why cram a million of them in ~ rather than having a folder like "apps" and then making a sub folder in that. it just gets annoying having a ton of folders in my home firectory [02:39] when I get a report from dmegitis inseconds since boot - how do I get the seconds at boot in seconds this epoch etc so I can convert to a time [02:40] does that not make sense? [02:40] eein-: they are hidden, so you never see them [02:40] yeah then how do i know they exist? [02:41] i see them all the time [02:41] eein-: I know what you mean, putting them in the ~/.config folder would make sense [02:41] eein-: it's also designed so that you can have many users on that same system, each haveing there own unique configs [02:41] a lot of programs show .folders all the time like filezilla [02:41] for one [02:41] sacarlson: the issue is the fact that it clutters $HOME [02:42] yeah but there isnt really a good reason to be at the root of ~ as far as I have seen === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [02:42] eein-: you could compile the apps to use a different folder, would take a while :) [02:43] ActionParsnip: eein-: oh like the 40 other applications I now have installed do, I guess they must be moving in that direction [02:43] yeah which is why i asked why it isnt already done like that, like if there was some technical reason it wasnt thought out to make things nice and neat [02:43] how do you get the ubuntu taskbar somewhere else? [02:43] like to the left or something [02:43] is it possible? [02:43] I just received a security update for oneric. I forgot to look at the description or summary. Can someone point me to where this info is archived? [02:43] instead of adding the ppa:chris-lea/gmp can I just add ppa:chris-lea ?? [02:44] sacarlson, you have apps that create a sub folder of a folder already? what is the folder name? [02:44] jen_: how do you mean 'taskbar'? [02:44] hola gang [02:44] the thing at the side where you do everything from [02:45] its called a taskbar right? [02:45] sacarlson, the parent folder? i havent seen programs that do that [02:45] eein-: first in the list /home/sacarlson/.config/audacious [02:47] sacarlson, huh look at that hadnt noticed that i guess vlc, inkscape, and chromium are there so maybe this will soon clear up [02:47] ah crap battery dying, thanks for pointing that out sacarlson [02:48] is it anyway to do [ "dpkg -l libssl-dev | grep ''" ] like that but it shuld pass if it not match ?? [02:48] eein-: they must have stole your idea before you patented it [02:48] Whiskey: grep -v [02:48] kk [02:49] how can I move the taskbar on ubuntu? [02:49] like to the left or something === nick_ is now known as Guest74873 [02:49] jen_: do you mean the unity panel, on the left holding all the apps as they run? [02:50] jen_: Unity bar is on the left by default === sk3ptic_1ne is now known as lawD_eR_m3rcY === hybrid_ is now known as o0o0o [02:57] Hello [02:58] hello god-zotac [02:58] how are you the chan ?

[03:04] afaik ubuntu plays mp3s fine out of the box [03:04] Can someone help me out? [03:04] god-zotac nope - [03:04] mp3 codec in general, sorry [03:04] It will offer to instal l proprietary plugins [03:04] god-zotac .mp3 has to be installed [03:04] hello, i have a problem with adding a ppa : http://nopaste.info/d657c77e3c.html [03:04] but i just try ubuntu [03:04] not installed [03:04] CFHowlett:: .mp3? [03:04] !ask|Coldfire202 [03:04] Coldfire202: 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 [03:04] you know [03:05] I always forget that! D: [03:05] dunken:: i'd just install all the gstreamer plugins (good, bad,ugly) lame, and ffmpeg [03:06] exoplanet: can you give the output of: lsb_release -sc [03:06] god-zotac: you need to install codecs to play mp3, its not in the default install [03:06] ok god-zotac, thanks a lot [03:06] oh sorry i forgot that, its 11.10 the ocelot :) ActionParsnip [03:06] exoplanet: are you being MITM's [03:07] exoplanet: seems like a relevant bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pycurl/+bug/926548 [03:07] Launchpad bug 926548 in pycurl (Ubuntu) "add-apt-repository fails with gnutls_handshake error" [Medium,Triaged] [03:07] trism: nice :) [03:07] ActionParsnip:: ok, but i never have had an issue playing mp3s, maybe because i always install the things i mentioned [03:07] Ok, so I try to install ubuntu on my hard drive. I mounted the whole thing to my USB through pendrive USB installer. Right version, right ISO, etc. I go to install it to my HDD beside Windows, I get an iso_path error. I even tried installing it on my 1tb external HDD so I can use it on my other computer I have. I get some sort of space error? I have 800 gigs left of space. [03:07] god-zotac: indeed ;) [03:07] I can not figure out what to do [03:08] Coldfire202: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [03:08] may day! [03:08] my computer won't let me login [03:08] its using KDE login manager [03:09] petoo: what happens when you try? [03:09] ActionParsnip: Explain what you mean please [03:09] petoo http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [03:09] !md5 | Coldfire202 [03:09] Coldfire202: 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 [03:09] petoo: did you try using the recovery boit option? [03:09] Coldfire202: your image could have errors and/or not be complete [03:10] graingert, i'am behind a proxy, it really implausible. me --> proxy | ISP [03:10] ActionParsnip when i use my password it seems to loggin in but then it again shows me same login screen , no login failed message [03:10] Coldfire202: Ubuntu has a disk check built in [03:10] and i have been using this password from very long time [03:10] Well, I was talking to a friend, about the external hard drive, and he said something about partitioning it first? He went offline right after so I couldn't ask him [03:10] petoo: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 and login there, then run: df -h do you have lots of free space? [03:11] I'm on Windows XP right now [03:11] Coldfire202: does the ISO you downloaded pass MD5 test....? [03:11] god-zotac, it works [03:11] graingert different test than the md5sum [03:11] I'm about to test, be right back [03:11] ! [03:11] cool [03:11] thanks a lot [03:11] ActionParsnip there must be around 100 megs of free space [03:11] exoplanet: Maybe your proxy is messing with SSL [03:12] dunken:: yw [03:12] petoo: thats not a lot, try: sudo apt-get clean [03:13] no, but thanks i looks like the bug posted by trism (thanks for that!)

[03:43] theblakester----: run: ln -s /host ~/Windows and you can access the data easily [03:44] theblakester---- so there's no confusion - wubi is designed an ubuntu testing installation - NOT a long-term use solution...

[05:28] oh it works. but there are a few things which are buggy. all of which have been mostly resolved in 12.04. ive been testing [05:28] there were dark times when it was sorta wise to choose hardware keeping in mind that you will run linux on it and i believe such way of thinking is still wise enough [05:29] govatent: well, everything (except this fglrx thing) works fantastic on this iMac (iMac12,2) [05:29] govatent: but, I have a MacBook 5,2 and I had to do loads of things to get it working properly [05:29] yea, here at the planet linux cafe in miami we have a mac running ubuntu on display and it works like a charm. we even have high end games on it for kids [05:30] on your mb 5,2 have you tried 12.04 yet?

[07:00] onoez_omg: wrong [07:01] sh is sh. ;) dash is a sh. bash is bash. [07:01] but why sh points to dash anyway [07:01] if it is not realated to some spped optimization === zay is now known as zayanakmetropoli [07:01] onoez_omg: dash is a lean, posix-conform shell. not as bloated as bash is [07:02] system scripts are writen to use sh normally. not bash [07:02] so what is the end goal?

[07:43] ActionParsnip: Yes [07:43] anyone know of a distribution thats as polished as ubuntu but doesn't use the lame sudo crap? [07:44] inaayat: what is the result please? [07:44] pro7o damn vulnerable linux [07:44] pro7o, sudo is there to protect your OS. you could just run as root [07:44] ActionParsnip: It will give this : oneiric [07:45] :-S [07:45] pro7o: consider checking ##linux, that question is more suited for that [07:45] sudo protects the system from the average user yes...but it henders when trying to maintain several systems where you don't want their primary user to be able to install thing [07:45] ActionParsnip: the results are ´oneiric´ [07:45] pro7o: sure, you can remove that user from the admin group to prevent that. [07:45] I have a question and I am not sure if I should be in the ubuntu forum or the gimp forum [07:46] I'm running 10.04 and am happy with it, I don't want to upgrade to gnome 3 or unity [07:46] pro7o: sudo is a good user model. You can run: sudo -i for an interactive session and you won't need to type pass till you run: exit [07:46] starsunflower ask here and consider #ubuntustudio [07:46] h00k: did that and its caused several issues [07:46] starsunflower ok and ?? [07:46] I thought the point of sudo was not just to prevent users from breaking their system but also to stop virus's and exploit from running as an elevated process [07:46] but I would like to upgrade to gimp 2.7.3 [07:46] why cant i install vbox additions on my ubuntu ? [07:46] the ppa won't let me go further thannn [07:46] FCUCKJ K [07:47] i run the stuff from the iso as root and literally nothing happens [07:47] mokilok: I think you are right... [07:47] starsunflower no ppa needed. download the source and compile [07:47] I'm not saying running root as user, but for managing a system su is much more effective [07:47] pro7o: any examples? [07:47] infate: http://launchpad.net/kazam [07:48] ok, thanks [07:48] tabfail, sorry infate [07:48] starsunflower have fun / be safe [07:48] i just wanted to confirm this, i appreciate the response :) [07:48] thanks! :o) [07:48] starsunflower: there is a gimp ppa. You could reinstall with xubuntu and it will feel a lot like gnome2 [07:49] h00k: a few programs don't work correctly, unable to logout, sound stopped working...and the only correcting it was adding the user back to sudoers list [07:49] yakko thanks [07:51] and ... the second i say so, it magically works [07:51] i don't know if i'm ready for that, i have been considering lxde wm [07:52] starsunflower seen this? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/12047/install-gimp-2.7.1-on-lucid-lynx-using-ppa/ [07:52] starsunflower: that's what I mean :-). You don't have to use Unity [07:53] starsunflower don't know if you're familiiar with ubuntustudio - it's adopted xfce4 [07:53] starsunflower: lxde is a desktop (hence the name). It uses openbox as its wm by default [07:53] I have 2.7.2 right now which is the latest the ppa will allow [07:53] actually, it's been ported to xubuntu [07:53] Ok so if I upgrade, i'm concerned about what file manager will be default, i'm sort of getting used to the K desktop === cewe_mniez is now known as Vladislas [07:54] has nautilus changed quite a bit? i have not had time to test it on a separate partition [07:54] starsunflower: then you'll upgrade that too. Unity will not show in Kde by default but can, if you wish === Vladislas is now known as fannyman1banget [07:55] well right now it's a default gnome install, i can't remember how far back it goes, i have a lot of kernel entries in the boot loader. It does load nautilus when I'm in K === fannyman1banget is now known as Vladislas [07:56] I prefer dolphin though [07:56] hey. is this the official support channel_ [07:56] I may try it on a separate partition just to see how i like it [07:56] starsunflower: you can remove the unused kernels to get the space. Each kernel is ~120Mb [07:56] freijon as we're all volunteers not sure it's "official". what's the problem? [07:57] ok, yeah that reminds me, i have some trash files to conend with, they are trapped in the trash [07:57] It is the official channel :-) [07:57] about 100 gigs trapped in the trash!! [07:57] starsunflower: wowsers =-0 [07:58] it's been that way for about a week now, so maybe it's time for me to upgrade, just put my files on a separate partition when I'm done [07:58] lolz yeah :) [07:58] I upgraded my system today (there was a kernel update). While installing, I got an error message that some commands during install couldn't be executed. I was advised to restart the system, which I did. Now the system freezes when lightm starts [07:58] Tried loading old kernel versions, same behaviour [07:58] I can't find these printer drivers anywhere ( Lex Mark 2200) I tried using wine to install them so that I can run the printer but when it asks to put the printer in to install it does not work. So would virtual box work.? [07:58] thanks for your help. I appreciate it. ::cheers:: [07:59] starsunflower: could go for a clean install and restore user data from backup. If you like kde install kubuntu :-) [07:59] i can't even switch to the console using CTRL+ALT+F1, it freezes completely [07:59] starsunflower: np :-) [08:00] experiencing problem setting up wireless ap on ar9285 http://pastebin.com/MJvkcNs6 (lines #168 and #169), anyone? [08:00] freijon: have you tested your RAM using Memtest from Grub? [08:01] no. would my RAM get corrupted by an upgrade? that would be very strange. [08:02] i have one more question, it may be n00bish, if I installed straight xubuntu and then added the K desktop after that as a different WM would that work? [08:02] i'm assuming so, i could try openbox too i guess [08:02] freijon: may be a coincidence. Its worth doing a 10 minute check just to rule it out [08:02] Anyone? [08:03] starsunflower there are several wm's in xubuntu. Consider installing virtualbox and testing xubuntu before you replace your present OS === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [08:03] freijon: LOL I didn't know about ctrl + alt + f1 and just hit it [08:03] ended up in a very strange place [08:03] somehow made it back.. [08:04] starsunflower: you would choose the desktop at login and it would use its config including wm [08:04] havok: hehe.. helped me several times. but this time, it doesn't.. :( [08:04] I could never find lexmark printer drivers. I have printed from Vbox and for scanning as well [08:05] So I just installed Ubuntu on a machine, wont let me log in at console via my default user account it had me make, wtf. Caps are all proper [08:05] I ended up investing in a printer that works with all OS [08:05] later on that is.... [08:05] How do I connect my Archos tablet to my Ubuntu computer? Physically, it is connected, but for an update to 3.2.80, I need to get the tablet to recognize that it is connected to the usb cable [08:05] havok lol... ctrl +alt + f1-f4 are terminals, ( i think) f7 is back to your GUI. [08:05] Bluewolf: check the Lexmark site. Running the windows cd in wine is not how you install the driver [08:06] any ideas how to solve my problem? or what might cause the problem? [08:06] Ok cool, I was having a blonde moment :) tyvm [08:06] ActionParsnip: So would virtual box work.? Does Virtual Box use up allot of processor and Ram? === christian is now known as Guest72177 === Guest72177 is now known as d0x [08:07] Bluewolf: yes as you are running 2 OSes at the same time. [08:08] ActionParsnip: Thank you :D [08:08] Bluewolf: did you check the lexmark site for drivers?? [08:08] Hi, i like to log the noice in my office (and then generate a chart out of it). Does anyone now a tool for that? The best would be something like this: vumeter -mic 1 > /tmp/volume [08:08] ActionParsnip: Noting for Linux only windows === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [08:09] Bluewolf: try adding the printer but use the z600 driver. It makes a few work [08:10] ActionParsnip: I'll try it, but this test never resulted in something useful so far. but since noone had a better idea.. see you in 15mins or so [08:11] ActionParsnip: OK I will try. Do you know if there is any way to run an accounting program called Pastel in Ubuntu? [08:12] android with ubuntu 11.04? [08:12] alright, questioning away. I dl'd PP and dd'd it to a USB stick, booted it up, and then was told the kernel has pae enabled, and since my cpu doesn't support pae, no pangolins for me.

I'm desperate ;-) [09:26] theadmin: It says that the trash doesn't exist http://i44.tinypic.com/1r3sqr.jpg [09:26] starsunflower: That's because /root and / aren't the same thing... [09:27] theadmin: ok [09:28] starsunflower: Paste this into your terminal: cd /root/.local/share/Trash [09:29] theadmin: when I do it says permission denied, and when I try sudo it says cd command not found [09:29] starsunflower: mk, then type "sudo -i" and repeat. [09:29] theadmin: oh wait, can i su root? [09:29] theadmin: k [09:29] starsunflower: Never "su root", use "sudo -i" [09:32] theadmin: lol, i sound like a dumb blonde, i meant su not sudo - but u can't do that in ubuntu [09:32] starsunflower: Don't worry, we were all noobs at some point. And don't call blondes dumb. [09:33] theadmin: well i am blonde so [09:34] theadmin: now I'm root@hp tho, so i am making progress, ty [09:34] starsunflower: No problem, good luck with whatever it is you're doing... Ubuntu has certain differences from other distros (what people tend to call "ubuntisms"), might be good to learn those :P [09:35] theamin: thanks, so i'm in the trash now, do i just do rm* ? [09:35] theadmin: "rm -r *", rather. [09:36] starsunflower: Folders, you know :P [09:36] Oops [09:36] lol [09:36] !danger [09:36] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [09:36] starsunflower: rm -r * [09:37] h00k: Err, it's not dangerous... We're removing all files from trash, it's not the remove all from root [09:37] h00k: Well... It would be dangerous if you "cd /" first, naturally... [09:37] theadmin: just to clarify to anyone that may have joined late, running that from a terminal can be dangerous. [09:37] Hey people [09:37] h00k: Oh, ok [09:37] How do I check which version of unity is installed from erminal? [09:38] keto4life: unity --version [09:38] h00k: FFS. [09:38] h00k: thanks [09:39] The manpage says nothing about the --version flag. Weird. [09:39] theadmin: I'm assuming that * would delete everything - but it doesn't - how would I delete a folder. I tried rm folder* [09:39] theadmin: but it says it's a dir [09:39] starsunflower: As stated above, rm -r * (in your case) [09:41] theadmin: hmm, I seem to have lost my, i don't know what it's called, the beginning of the prompt root@hp - when I do a command I just get space now, no root@hp or su@hp [09:41] starsunflower: err huh? Does hitting Ctrl-C help? [09:41] many commands could be dangerous when run incorrectly or in the wrong directory or privileged. caveat executor [09:42] theadmin: ha i think it's working, it is just taking some time, it's 100 gigs [09:43] starsunflower: Ah yeah [09:43] theadmin: i see folders dissapearing now [09:43] You can use rm -v to watch the progress lol, but whatever [09:43] starsunflower: Don't cancel it now lol [09:43] theadmin: i won't! thank you!!! <3 [09:43] starsunflower: np, glad to help [09:43] theadmin: I am eternally grateful ~*~ === sun_ is now known as Guest46517 === ja1lulu is now known as DarkApex [09:45] theadmin: well, i think that maybe it choked a few weeks back when I tried to move 100 gigs to it (a backup) === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo === nightgone is now known as xxx === xxx is now known as Guest42698 === Guest42698 is now known as xssfsefsxc === pmp is now known as Guest43993 === hacker is now known as Guest79173 [09:58] i recently installed ubuntu 11.10 for the first time via wubi and it has been nothing but slow, it locks up easily (it's extreme frustrating) i removed unity completely (because i hated it) and installed gnome classic and it runs smoother because of it but it still locks up from time to time, whether if i'm downloading apps via Ubuntu software center, or web browsing with firefox or chrome (chromium) and using miro. I'm running ubuntu ( [09:58] 64bit) on a 2ghz, dual core AMD cpu with 2 gigs of ram. [09:59] what in the world can be the prob?

[10:10] just about every app locks up for 20-30 seconds to minutes [10:10] sabayonuser: you'll need an additional USB drive.... not to mention your current USB is not big enough for an actual install [10:11] infam0us: uninstall wubi, follow instructions for putting Ubuntu on a USB, boot the USB, and install like 90% of the rest of us do... [10:11] Hello all,how do i know if inotify is installed,or does it come installed in ubuntu 10.04 [10:11] i was hoping to get the cd vertion onto the usb as a live disk [10:11] sabayonuser: ok, you'll still need an additional usb drive... [10:11] to store the ISO. [10:12] yea i'll have to do it that way [10:12] then you can install unetbootin on the Live CD, use unetbootin to put the ISO on the "free" USB... [10:12] i can fit the iso in ram if i need too but its not gonna be fun [10:12] sabayonuser: thats just silly, i wouldn't even tempt that. [10:13] like i said its an interesting problem [10:13] anyone [10:13] sabayonuser: it's not interesting, you're making it way more complex than it needs to be [10:14] i've already installed a ton of apps and have personalized settings, is there a way i can carry all of that over to the other install? [10:14] infam0us: from wubi to the normal install? not to my knowledge [10:15] i would rather be at home at my desktop but im at a friends place working with the tools im given all im asking is can it be done with what i have risky or not or am i screwed [10:15] sabayonuser: you already said you "could" clear the memory to store the ISO to put on the USB, so i'd say the answer is yes... you already know that, it's just gonna be a PITA> [10:16] im doing ln -sf ../../path/* and nothing is happeneing [10:16] im sure thats the way to create links for a whole folder? [10:16] any ideas? [10:16] sabayonuser: is there another computer in the house? (be it windows, linux, etc.. doesn't matter) [10:16] KM0201 : well that sucks but oh well.

[12:18] jeankebos: you should probably ask your question instead of asking for permission to ask your question [12:19] problems with nvidia driver geforce2 mx100 [12:19] ubuntu does not seem to like it [12:19] jeankebos: you should probably be more descriptive [12:19] open source or proprietary? [12:19] proprieraty [12:19] therein lies the issue [12:19] it does? [12:20] jeankebos, you need to contact nVidia for issues with that driver...nobody here can help [12:20] why good sir your detective skills seem to have left nothing to chance and removed all possible issues with one simple statement! [12:20] one moment i attach a second screen to my ubuntu desktop and brb [12:21] airtonix, in all likelihood, that is the case [12:21] heylukecarrier: what would actually help is a 1) description of the problem. 2) lspci -vv 3) lsb_release -a [12:21] if jockey can't configure it out of the box, it's probably nvidia [12:22] heylukecarrier: the least you could do before dismissing it is ask for machine:manufacturer code that is reported by lspci [12:22] 鞆鞆鞆鞆鞆 [12:22] airtonix, touche [12:22] heylukecarrier: oh and clarify which exact version of ubuntu they are using [12:23] ah, so why does ubuntu says i should use the nvidia driver to fully experience ubuntu?? (got this message) [12:23] jeankebos, when it works, it enables 3d acceleration and usually increases performance [12:27] could anyone explain me how i can install an older version of this nvidia driver? now version 96 is installed but some forums says version 72 works better, but i really have no clue how to install this. the only possibilities ubuntu is giving me is version 96 (propriarity) or ubuntu open source driver. How can I choose the driver myself? === ruben is now known as Guest56132 [12:30] hi guys, i did an upgrade to 12.4 and then i downgraded back to 11.1 but now i see that that my /var/www folder is gone....

[12:33] how did you go back to 11.10 Guest56132 [12:33] Guest56132, I'd say restore from backup after such experiments ;) [12:34] mydogsnameisrudy, with the 11.1 usb boot iso [12:34] :? [12:34] i downloaded ubuntu 11.1 and made it bootable from usb [12:35] as nxo said restore from your backup [12:35] i don't have one [12:35] :s [12:36] damn all my work is gone [12:37] Guest56132, but you learned something for the next time. I think not backup data is considered not important. ;) [12:38] Guest56132, and experients like this you don't do on a machine with important stuff. [12:38] well i just bought an external hdd [12:39] so ubuntu doesn't create a backup when ugrading? [12:41] Hah, kinda blunt attitude here. :) But yes, good idea to learn to backup if your work is important, especially when doing something a bit out of usual, like downgrading an installation. [12:41] There's a small change the work is recoverable with tools like testdisk, though. [12:41] ow? [12:41] any way to install Ubuntu to an external HDD and then put it in a mac? I have the PPC iso of 11.10 [12:41] However, that depends on at which point of the process the data got wiped out. [12:42] bye [12:42] Guest56132: Also, _anything_ you do on the system now - especially copying files around - reduces the chances of a succesful recovery [12:42] i accidently deleted a partition that wasnt in a usual location and testdisk found it in seconds [12:43] Ileden, i'm taking a backup from my home folder now [12:43] IIRC testdisc can be installed directly from repositories, with "sudo apt-get install testdisk" - though I should point out this is itself is an operation that does some copying, and thus reduces the chances of a successful recovery. [12:44] how to install huawei cdma modem on ubuntu 10.10..? [12:45] Guest56132: What I'd do, depending on how important the data is, is to access the hard disk from another system, and use testdisk to see if there's still something left. [12:45] Ileden, i'm check if maybe i copied it to a server [12:46] Though it's a small program, so chances of damage to recoverable data that would be caused by installing it are pretty small. [12:46] good morning. I have this new bash script that I need to check if it is running between 8 am and 8 pm, I'm using like this: DATE=$(date +%H); if [ $DATE>=8 and $DATE<=20 ]; then, but it is not working [12:47] aFeijo, replace "and" with "&&" ? [12:47] what's the difference between etc/init and etc/init.d ? [12:48] lulzilla: /etc/init is where upstart-style scripts live and /etc/init.d is where older sys-v-init scripts live [12:49] damo22, originally I try with &&, will do again [12:49] guys can u help me [12:49] ahh [12:49] damo22, && and double [[ ]] ;) [12:49] aFeijo, maybe need [[ ]] [12:49] yeah [12:49] aFeijo: look up how to compare numbers in bash [12:49] jrib, ok [12:50] Ileden, but how can i access the hard disk from another system? [12:50] Guest56132, use a livecd on that machine [12:51] Guest56132: You can write a live cd of Ubuntu, and use that to access it. But if you don't know what you're doing, it's better you just install it on the current system, and see if it works. [12:51] thanks jrib [12:52] Guest56132: Note that downloading the live CD on your *current* system will damage the recoverable parts (if there are any)! It's a large download, thus it will use the disk a lot. [12:52] Ileden, i can still login in the system [12:52] so maybe i can install testdisk on it and check? [12:53] Guest56132: Keep in mind that pretty much any action you do _using_ the system may cause more damage to the recoverable data (if there is any) [12:54] ok [12:54] Guest56132: The best way would be to use some other system to create a live cd, then use that to access the hard disk. [12:54] Ileden, but i can access the hard disk from the same computer [12:55] But of course, that's a bit of a hassle. So depending on how valuable your data (that might not be recoverable anyway) is, you _can_ just boot up the system, install testdisk on it, and see if you can recover anything. [12:55] How do I install Ubuntu 11.10 PPA version to an external hdd from my Intel laptop? [12:56] #gedit [12:56] But if you don't have any experience with the live cd concept, I can't help you.

I was using DOS... :) [13:02] I was part way through formatting the drive in gparted and it borked. Now it won't automount === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:04] Ileden, checking with testdisk [13:05] checking for lost partitions but that's not what i want to do [13:05] i want to check if my /var/www folder is in there somewhere [13:06] hi, i got 4 nics connected, 3 to a switch and 1 to a router for inet, everything was working fine but suddenly i cant connect to the net, the eth0 has the ip from the router aswell? cant ping or web or anything, how can i troubleshoot ? [13:06] all connected interfaces have data transfer showing aswell in ifconfig [13:07] Guest56132: every folder is on some partition, lost or not. [13:07] Guest56132: You need to access the partition that not lost, and browse files on it. [13:07] I've got screwed over with a windoze machine that I can't change the boot or partitions without voiding the warranty. What's the best way to get ubuntu on it? [13:08] Guest56132: It'll probably search for lost partitions too, but that doesn't matter since it also lists your current parititon structure [13:08] Anyone know the right package to fix /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb [13:08] Guest56132: Once you've located the parititon you want to browse, use the "p" command to browse the files. [13:09] Ileden, it's making a file now [13:09] but very slow [13:09] Making a file? [13:09] Ileden, an image [13:10] "Making" it? [13:10] Ileden, ok i restarted an now looking for partitions [13:10] 1% [13:11] Hmm, I think you can skip the parititon search by pressing "esc" to just get to the list, since you're not interested in lost partitions [13:11] Not sure. [13:12] Ileden,it's analysing [13:14] hello guys [13:14] i have a question [13:14] look http://imagebin.org/202612 [13:14] i have problem with the gtk theme [13:14] the top panel [13:14] skypce: yeah, you're using macbuntu [13:14] yes [13:15] that's pretty much everybody's problem [13:15] FAT32Ileden [13:15] ikonia, in a begin i believe that the deep color in ubuntu was in 16 bits [13:16] Is there anyone here who can give advice regarding wubi disk resize? [13:16] but i change it to 24bits [13:16] Ileden, when starting testdisk it asks which partition, so i choose my linux partition [13:16] and nothing [13:16] skypce: sorry, I think the macbuntu stuff is garbage so I'm not supporting it [13:16] skypce: they have a support contact address on their website, I'd suggest using them [13:16] Ileden, then it asks: Analyse - Advanced - Geometry - Options - MBR code - Delete - Quit [13:16] thank you ikonia [13:16] which one do i have to choose? [13:17] Guest56132: Hmm, I don't think it lists any paritions the start. I think it lists the different physical disks. [13:17] Guest56132: Yeah, analyse is the one to proceed with. [13:18] okay... quick question [13:18] Ileden, then Quick Search or backup -> i choose Quick search [13:18] Basically, I have already managed to create a new.disk but, when I tried to log-in, I met with a stark textual screen prompting me for username and password. However, it did not seem to lead to any gui. Is there a way that I could get to a gui rather than a text-based screen please? [13:18] Guest56132: Once it's done, it should list the available partitions. Then select the correct one, and press "p" to start browsing for files. [13:18] hey, anyone encountered status: {DRDY}, error: {ABRT} when trying to write to a hard drive [13:18] I have a friend with 10.04 LTS, who is having video card issues now. just how risky is it to upgrade directly to 11.10 instead of upgrading to each intermediate version in turn? [13:19] DocPlatypus: It's impossible [13:19] Ileden, ok i think it 'll take an hour [13:19] DocPlatypus: Just wait till 12.04 is released, that's all [13:19] theadmin: can he upgrade to a 12.04 beta? [13:19] What's the best way to use ubuntu without changing the boot sequence? [13:19] DocPlatypus: (you can upgrade from LTS to LTS) [13:19] DocPlatypus: Well, you *could* upgrade to the beta, but... I won't suggest using unstable unstable software. [13:20] r930913: Virtualbox probably [13:20] Is there a way of switching from different kinds of screen experience? From text to gui type? [13:20] Guest56132: As I said, it could be that you can just stop the search immediately, since it's a known partition. But I'm not sure. [13:20] theadmin: well right now the box is not stable anyway. [13:20] I don't see how it could possibly be any worse [13:20] something like alt-f2 or whatever? [13:20] pangur: Ctrl+Alt+F7 = GUI, Ctrl+Alt+F1-6 = CLI [13:21] thanks theadmin :) [13:21] DocPlatypus: Well, join #ubuntu+1 for beta support/discussion/upgrade instructions.

Sure, you can go without installing the bootloader I suppose, but... how would you boot? [13:24] okay thanx guys [13:24] theadmin: Is there a way to change the bootloader in windows for one reboot so that unless set, it automatically boots into windoze? [13:25] r930913: You can't modify Grub through Windows, no, but you can set Windows as the default OS, sure. Or you can just disable the timeout and keep the boot menu forever waiting for you to make the choice [13:26] theadmin: Yeah, but I get screwed if they see a boot screen if I send it in for repairs. [13:27] r930913: Ah, I see what you mean, point taken :D Okay, what you want is no timeout and Windows for the default OS. Change the config from livecd later or whatever, I guess. [13:27] hey, i am getting a corrupt update when i do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:27] r930913: There are tools for that. It's either bootup-manager or startup-manager (keep messing the two) [13:27] is there something up?

[13:35] anyone...? PPC Ubuntu install to an external hdd from an Intel laptop [13:37] afd, don't believe so [13:37] itaylor57: it's not possible? [13:38] hi [13:39] afd, the installer works off of the arch of the device so it would not install ppc to an intel cpu device [13:39] I am trying to use a tv as my monitor. It seems to work, but there are about a "taskbar" worth of pixels that aren't displayed around the edges (i.e. it seems to display slightly larger than the tv). Is there anything that can be done to fix this? [13:40] itaylor57: I thought that might be the case... so I can't boot from the PPC as live and do it that way either (from my intel laptop)? [13:42] afd: no, just like you can't boot a 64bit livecd from a 32bit cpu [13:42] itaylor57: I'm guessing I can still create a PCC liveCD from my intel laptop though... then boot from and install that with the hdd in the imac?

Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [14:43] MioSempai: you can use Vmware Server [14:44] playman, well thats what the terminal suggests "service smbd restart" [14:44] does anybody know how often they delete the paste bin files? How long can you access a paste bin file before they delete it? [14:44] playman is the terminal suggesting "service smbd restart" [14:44] my machine need to have some specific raid, for example because now I have 2 hdd 73GB hdd in raid1 and 5 132 in raid5. [14:44] sandjkirkland: depends on which pastebin you use [14:45] is there any way to see the web page in 3d ?

[14:46] sandjkirkland: does this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1/ answer your question? [14:47] how to install that plugin ? [14:47] MioSempai then vmware server will do fine, but there's no GUI... it uses a web console to view the virtual machines, meaning you need another computer [14:47] skmsmslk: look in the firefox add-on site [14:47] thanks ! [14:48] MioSempai: you said that you are using Ubuntu Server correct? not Ubuntu [14:48] myrtti: yeah I think that does just fine, thanks [14:48] errr not ubuntu destkop [14:48] playman, use sudo === tux is now known as Guest71703 [14:48] yes. ubuntu server [14:48] ok then try vmware server 2 [14:48] it's free [14:48] For some reason Ubuntu runs hot on laptops [14:49] Quantum_Ion: you mean the laptop runs hot with ubuntu?

[14:49] I hope when Ubuntu 12.04 LTS comes out it runs cooler [14:50] errr scripts* [14:50] lol [14:50] power saving scripts [14:50] playman, :) [14:50] Quantum_Ion: how do those keep your laptop cooler tho? do they speed up the fans? [14:50] Hello! Why is that obexftp protocol allows read/write but not renaming a file? [14:51] johnjacobjinger, I use sudo -i pm-powersave true [14:51] I also use xsensor to monitor the temps [14:52] I have a AMD dual core processor and the temps with the Scripts are 78/71 without the scripts they are 80 -90 [14:52] johnjacobjinger, Without the scripts my laptop was so hot you could feel hot air blowing out of it [14:53] Quantum_Ion: is that celsius or Fahereheit? [14:53] johnjacobjinger, Cel [14:53] Quantum_Ion: time to clean out the laptop heat exhausts me thinks :-P [14:53] They really need to work on the ACPI colling issues with Ubuntu Linux [14:54] Myrtti, I vacummed them out [14:54] Quantum_Ion: my macbook pro averages about 160 degrees to 190 fahrenheit with ubuntu installed [14:54] and with mac os x [14:55] johnjacobjinger, WTF ! [14:55] Hi heard today is devlopers friday... I am new to ubuntu dev... Can I help in any bug fixing? [14:55] Quantum_Ion: language [14:55] Quantum_Ion: thats not that horribly hot for a laptop [14:55] johnjacobjinger, Anything abouve 100 degrees is a laptop killer [14:55] Quantum_Ion: that isnt true at all... [14:56] johnjacobjinger, It's funny because I have a dual boot system and I use Windows Vista in poersave mode and the system is much cooler [14:56] I have a issue with 127.0.0.1 or localhost not resolving to my local IP assigned from the dhcp [14:56] power save mode [14:57] the issue might be with the power management profile settings and fan settings [14:57] Quantum_Ion: what kind of laptop do you have? [14:57] digitalcake: not sure what you mean :-\ [14:57] Gateway NV series laptop dualcore [14:57] <_Marcus> digitalcake: What exactly do you mean? [14:57] I can put 127.0.0.1 or localhost to point to a local http dev server I'm running but if I put 192.168.0.197 I cant see it === SomeoneWeird is now known as SomeoneWeirdzzzz [14:58] digitalcake this is Apache you are running? [14:58] johnjacobjinger so, you recommend vmware server. thanks... i'll begin for there. [14:58] salut [14:58] no django [14:58] but its a simple http server for development [14:58] <_Marcus> digitalcake: But it's an HTTP server, right? [14:58] and its open on port 80 [14:58] right [14:58] <_Marcus> digitalcake: Type "ifconfig" and make sure that IP is correct first [14:59] interesting there's probably a config file for django that lets you specify what address to listen on [14:59] or at least interface [14:59] johnjacobjinger, It's funny my friend has a toshiba laptop computer it's older and I installed 10.04LTS on his laptop and his is much cooler [14:59] in ifconfig what I'm I looking for I see that [14:59] i dont know django tho to say [14:59] Even though mine is a dual core processor [14:59] <_Marcus> digitalcake: Paste your ifconfg on pastebin please [15:00] Quantum_Ion: that'd make it hotter with a dual core, and also your laptop may have a better GPU which might just run hotter... [15:00] i think the issue you are having tho has to do with power management settings [15:00] http://pastebin.com/CFaXwuXc [15:00] and possibly fan control [15:00] is gnome-look.org/xfce-look.org/etc. down for everyone else as well? [15:00] <_Marcus> digitalcake: It was 192.168.0.197, so you were right [15:00] right [15:00] withe these scripts I found on the internet I can get my temps to 76/69 [15:00] <_Marcus> digitalcake: Any you tried putting that in a browser outside of your machine? [15:01] I cant see that inside [15:01] Where is the proper place to put downloaded (but not in repository) applications? [15:01] I have not tried looking on any other pc [15:01] digitalcake: cant see what inside? [15:01] oh the site [15:01] 192.168.0.197 [15:01] i see... digitalcake try another machine [15:01] <_Marcus> digitalcake: Good. You aren't supposed to see it through your private IP inside your computer, you have to use 127.0.0.1 or ::1 if it supports IPv6 [15:02] <_Marcus> digitalcake: Now open up another machine and put in the private IP(not 127.0.0.1 but 192.168.0.197) [15:02] welll you can if you have it in your hosts file [15:02] ok one moment [15:02] I didnt know you cant see your local ip from inside [15:02] on a windows box I never really had this issue [15:02] digitalcake: you can if your machine is set to resolve it... clearly your isnt [15:03] <_Marcus> johnjacobjinger: He can't see it because he is inside the machine. You have to use the loopback IP to get yourself, which would be 127.0.0.1 [15:04] _Marcus: my website works with local IP on the local machine (not the loop back interface), just it's not default like that === companion is now known as Companion [15:05] hello guys just a quick Q === Companion is now known as companion [15:05] _Marcus: however you are correct, that for most people they wouldnt be able to [15:05] johnjacobjinger, I have this script which cleans up ubuntu GRUB from each kernel upgrade check it out - > http://pastebin.com/RW05zeA0 [15:05] does anybody of you experience that your unable to browse the net while download torrent?

[15:14] Hi there all, I need to install this package; ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager on Ubuntu 11.10 [15:14] digitalcake: not always... it's not some "rule" it all depends on how you have stuff set up... i think with Apache you dont need to specify it tho... i think by default it listens on both interfaces [15:14] dr_willis, I think I will just back up my hardrive and due a fresh install of 12.04 LTS [15:15] dr_willis, Kind of curious to see what kernel 3.2 is about [15:15] well in any case thank you all. you helped [15:15] Quantum_Ion, did you have a support question? [15:15] Quantum_Ion: use 11.10, or move yourself over to #ubuntu+1 [15:15] I'm looking for a way to ALWAYS OPEN this .exe'file WITH Openjdk6 .. how do I make this happen ? [15:15] <_Marcus> escapeplan: .exe is a Windows Executable File. You have to use Mono or Wine to open it. [15:16] /nick smallfoot- [15:16] _Marcus .. Actually no, Minecraft is Java, but the easiest way for me to play without any trouble is to open the .exe with openjdk === debsan is now known as reChinoDeComerAr [15:16] do I have to have sudo to run a app on port 80? I'm getting Error: You don't have permission to access that port. === reChinoDeComerAr is now known as debsan === moo- is now known as smallfoot- [15:17] maybe its your firewall digitalcake [15:17] blocking port 80 [15:17] digitalcake: you may need sudo to run the admin tool that is configuring django [15:17] digitalcake, is iptables running? [15:18] thats the problem I'm in a virtualenv that is not sudo [15:18] digitalcake: then you need a sudo user ;-) [15:18] <_Marcus> escapeplan: You are using Ubuntu, correct? [15:18] <_Marcus> escapeplan: I know for a fact, that Minecraft has instructions on how to use it on Linux [15:19] pretty sure ou cant jst open an .exe in ubuntu [15:19] without wine or something that is [15:19] digitalcake: a low port like 80 will require superuser privs [15:19] johnjacobjinger, True [15:19] Hi, I have found myself in a bit of a pickle. I created a new docklet with docky and I can't remove it. I have two and I want to remove one, how would I go about this? [15:19] escapeplan: Mojang has vanilla .jar files for Minecraft [15:19] johnjacobjinger, I think he is trying to use Java to open a Windows exe file [15:20] dang it, looks like I will just need to use port forwarding on my router. [15:20] digitalcake: prob not a bad idea [15:20] <_Marcus> digitalcake: That's only if you want people outside your router into your web server. If you want to access it locally, you dont have to port forward to do so. [15:20] Hi there all, I need to install this package; ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager on Ubuntu 11.10 but cannot due to a dependency package libogremain-1.6.4 but this is unavailable.

[15:45] I didn't have internet on the computer that I was getting it for. so I was having to USB it to it [15:45] I probably should have stated that previously [15:45] bonjour [15:45] ça va ? [15:45] I'm trying to use ubunto and wine terminal. Having issues running windows based programs, games, etc. [15:45] iHarp: I'd recommand getting it from the repo now to make sure you have all the dependencies [15:46] hello [15:46] ive got a problem with vlx remote [15:46] !appdb | e-Orchestrator [15:46] e-Orchestrator: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [15:46] rambo298: you should be able to use a keyboard shortcut. ctrl alt T [15:46] so the dependencies could be causing the issues [15:46] vlc remote and and vlc on my ubuntu desktop [15:46] bastidrazor, ty [15:46] iHarp: not the no-icon issue [15:46] iHarp: I doubt there is an icon/menu item for it in the package [15:46] bastidrazor, now to get wireless working on a fresh install [15:46] it's a tethering program for my iphone. [15:47] iHarp: yes I read what it is [15:47] ok [15:47] Thanks. I'm looking at that now. Do you ubunto gurus think running games like WoW show better fps than windows 7 platform? [15:47] Does anyone know where I can get Lexmark x2250 linux drivers or how would I get this printer to work? [15:47] Is there a way to get the dependecies packaged for transfer to another cpu? [15:47] e-Orchestrator: no [15:47] iHarp: you may already have the dependencies [15:47] iHarp: why do you think it's not working [15:48] iHarp, another CPU? [15:48] crashanddie: he means another machine [15:48] Hello... It's ok??? === dave is now known as Guest41179 [15:48] !list [15:48] spaceman88: No warez here!

[15:48] ok [15:48] BlueWolf: urghh, lexmark aren't great for linux (or at all), if they have any linux support it is usually an rpm file (may need to use alien or try extract a ppd file from it) [15:49] I was hoping that running ubunto and wine would make everything load faster, and get better fps. OR at least run more stable than windows. [15:49] e-Orchestrator: very doubtful === JanC_ is now known as JanC [15:49] BlueWolf, check linuxprinting.org database is your best bet [15:49] Okay.

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [15:50] the guide said to install ipheth.deb and that "any" tethering software would work on the phone as long as it was standard tethering. [15:50] iHarp: ok - so how are you trying to tether the phone [15:50] usb [15:50] auronandace: Well thats all I have and I'm not in any position to buy another, any suggestions or not? [15:50] exit [15:50] quit [15:50] bazhang: Done that nothing [15:50] BlueWolf: just gave you 2 [15:51] iHarp: no, that's just plugging something in, how are you trying to actually tether the device [15:51] thank you [15:51] e-Orchestrator: if the app is designed for windows to be honest I find it runs alot more stable and faster in Windows than in Wine.. [15:51] BlueWolf, whats the model number? [15:51] Hello, has gconf-editor been removed in 12.04? [15:52] [15:52] RodneyJarvis : Precise/12.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [15:52] auronandace: Well I don't know what you mean. I don't specialize in printers [15:52] How can I use find and grep to find out Keywords 'sel_role' in both .js files and .xml files in multi folders? [15:52] Do I have to have two unity bars when running dual monitors? [15:52] BlueWolf: you need the linux driver from the manufacturers website (it will likely be an rpm file) [15:52] @john - thanks. Also, i have a solid state drive. Are there any caveats that I need to know about before getting ubunto installed? [15:53] BlueWolf, whats the model number? [15:53] I have 11.10 at home with dual mons and only one unity bar [15:53] I guess I'm not understanding your question. I'm installing ipheth with the understanding that it has some sort of function that allows my phone(given that its tethering functions are activated) to allow internet access. [15:53] Hi I have just on partition which has Ubuntu 11.10 but I need to partition that disk so I could have two partitions but gparted wont let me do it because the disk has to be unmounted ? [15:53] just installed 12.04 on this machine and now I have two, is this a bug in 12.04 [15:53] or a feature I can turn off? [15:53] bazhang: X2250 [15:53] R3dy : Precise/12.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [15:53] but I'm not seeing ipheths capabilities. GUI or term functions. [15:54] ugoub: Does your find command list any js files if your remove -exec and everything after that? [15:54] e-Orchestrator: not that I am aware of, ubuntu wont even know the difference between solid state and a standard HD === Sergevg is now known as svg [15:54] Pici: let me have a try. [15:54] alket: do it from the Ubuntu Live CD or Gparted CD [15:55] you cant partition the drive on a running system [15:55] Pici: list a lot matching files [15:55] johnjacobjinger, Oh now I remember it, thank you [15:55] @john - ty again. [15:55] alket: gparted isnt installed on the Ubuntu Live CD :-( you'll need to apt-get it [15:56] but it'll run once you do that [15:56] alket: gparted IS installed on the Ubuntu Live CD [15:56] ugoub: Are you sure that you have that line in your .js files? [15:56] compdoc: is it? cuz i just tried and couldnt find it [15:56] bazhang: Anything? [15:56] compdoc: i had to apt-get it [15:56] iHarp: no, you need to use tethering software, and ipheth will allow your tethering software to use the iphone [15:56] johnjacobjinger, it has been on the latest ones Ive tried [15:56] iHarp: ipheth is not the tethering software it's self [15:57] yes, find ../ -name \*.js -or -name \*.xml -exec grep -i -o --color=auto sel_role {} \; -print CAN find sel_role in xml file [15:57] Pici: there is nobody in there [15:57] ugoub: Okay, does find ../ -name \*.js -exec grep -i -o --color=auto sel_role {} \; -print show anything? [15:57] Pici: find ../ -name \*.xml -or -name \*.js -exec grep -i -o --color=auto sel_role {} \; -print CAN find sel_role in js file [15:57] ugoub, You should turn that into a script [15:57] ugoub: Except you have to escape the {} maybe: \{\} or '{}' [15:57] Pici: yes [15:57] ikonia: I think I see where you are going with that. Perhaps I just didn't understand the functionality. thanks. [15:58] bazhang: ? [15:58] theadmin: no you don't. [15:58] ugoub: let me do some tests here, one moment. [15:58] My issue lies in the phone software then [15:58] Pici: Ah those aren't bash specials? Thought they were... [15:58] iHarp: try the gnome network manager, it "should" just show you the tethering option now [15:58] BlueWolf, patience [15:58] Quantum_Ion: I am a biggner of SHELL [15:58] ugoub, Your command doesn't work [15:58] BlueWolf, it takes a moment to search for answers [15:58] ok [15:59] I put some exports in a script to prep my dev environment every time I need to cross compile, but the exports don't stick outside of the script. I don't remember there being a scope in bash before, what am I missing? [15:59] Quantum_Ion: find ../ -name \*.js -or -name \*.xml -exec grep -i -o --color=auto sel_role {} \; -print IT WORKS FOR XML FILE [15:59] Quantum_Ion: WHEN switch the 'js' and 'xml' it will work for js file [15:59] BlueWolf: just checked lexmark's site, they have windows and mac drivers but no linux ones [15:59] find $1 -name $2 -exec grep -i -o --color=auto $3 {} \; -print >> $4 [16:00] ugoub, when I run that command I get this - >find: paths must precede expression: IT [16:00] Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression] [16:00] auronandace: I have just checked, Looking at this - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/lexmark-x2250-in-linux-244625/ [16:00] Quantum_Ion: yes you have a file named IT right? [16:00] ugoub, no [16:01] how do i restart the samba service without rebooting ? [16:01] Quantum_Ion: when i run find ../ -name [jx][m][sl] ....... it will say find: paths must precede expression: soap.xml "but no keyworks in that file" [16:02] Quantum_Ion: find $1 -name $2 -exec grep -i -o --color=auto $3 {} \; -print >> $4 I AM sure this will work [16:03] ugoub, I get this - > bash: $4: ambiguous redirect [16:03] Quantum_Ion: That will write result to $4(a file path) [16:03] bosong, i believe the commands you are looking for are sudo restart smbd and sudo restart nmbd [16:03] bosong: Probably: sudo restart smbd [16:04] Quantum_Ion: you should replace $1:the path you want to find file(../); $2 file name(*.js) $3keyworks to find(sel_role);$4: file to keep result(~/sel_role) [16:04] ok thanks [16:04] ugoub: I got it.

[16:05] ugoub: find ../ -name \*.js -or -name \*.xml -print0 | xargs -0 grep -io --color=auto sel_role [16:05] BlueWolf, lexmark themselves only have printers for mac and windows for that; judging by the forum posts, Fedora 6 got it running intermittently several years ago [16:06] Pici: any result from js file? [16:06] ugoub: add -H to your grep command to show what file the matches are coming from. [16:07] <_GoRDoN__> Hi! Any ideas what to do when cryptsetup wont accept keyfile after reboot? [16:07] ugoub: arg... sorry: find ../ -name \*.js -or -name \*.xml | xargs grep -io --color=auto sel_role [16:07] bazhang: Ya I know ( http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/lexmark-x2250-in-linux-244625/ ) Oh well guess I should throw this in the trash right now and get an HP. Thanks for the help [16:08] BlueWolf: hps are definitely a better choice [16:08] auronandace: The thing is this Lexmark was given to me. [16:09] anyone know of a program wor doing employee scheduling ... I need it to be simple to use and allow me to enter random start and end times for about 15 employees for a week/month at a time [16:09] BlueWolf, if you have a windows or mac computer in your network, you can share it with your linux machine though [16:09] random is pretty hard to get right [16:09] !ot | donavan01 [16:09] donavan01: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I dont see how asking for an app recommendation is on topic [16:12] I removed the old kernels from grub2 now i have no sound [16:12] do i try to remember what i removed oris there a better way [16:12] waxstone: asking for a ubuntu app is support related [16:12] SCRATCH THAT, you click and drag.. wow took me awhile to figure that out (way too intuitive) [16:12] waxstone, asking for help find ing an app? sure thats on topic [16:13] Guest84913 in a Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M [16:13] bazhang: It will draw too much processor and ram - already looked at that option.

[16:32] greenit: As stated earlier: This happens from time to time (on some hardware), append "reboot=bios" to your kernel line and have fun. [16:32] Abhijit, ok, i'll try it [16:32] greenit: This makes the kernel reboot/poweroff with the BIOS rather than with the built-in ACPI techniques, works better on some hardwares, dunno why [16:33] greenit, what is wol? [16:33] theadmin, ok... does it matter that i have the new, graphical bios? (i think the name is efi) [16:33] Abhijit: wake on lan [16:33] Abhijit, wol = wake on lan, i send the magic packet and the computer starts [16:33] ok [16:33] yeah [16:34] greenit: Hm... I'm not so sure -- try it (note you have to reboot before it takes effect, so...)

[16:34] theadmin, ok, 1 last question: do i have to add it in the grub? because i neither have a keyboard nor a screen connected to the computer^^ [16:35] greenit, waxstone: Edit /etc/default/grub. There is a line saying GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="foo bar baz" (something like that), change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="foo bar baz reboot=bios", save and run "sudo update-grub".

Then just change it to "reboot=bios" and have fun [16:39] Aesthenaut, look at ~/.bashrc and change force_color_prompt=no to force_color_prompt=yes [16:39] theadmin, thx :) [16:39] theadmin: can i ask, what does "reboot=bios" do? (I know, i should Read The Fine Manpage) [16:40] flowers @ theadmin [16:40] zykotick9: As stated before, it makes the kernel shut down by nicely asking the BIOS to do so, rather than using built-in ACPI techniques [16:40] MonkeyDust: flowers?

But you can try in ##linux to see if anyone else has an idea [17:07] danileigh79, ok i've been at it for hours so i have minutes [17:08] whats afaik by the way [17:08] As Far As I Know [17:08] rambo298: Google broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 and dl it [17:08] thanks soreau [17:08] danileigh79, ok but 1 more thing; bcm43xx is blacklisted so i guess it should be with b43 installed [17:09] rambo298: don't worry about it, I had the same issue and what I'm having you do will fix the issue [17:10] rambo298: trust me, I'm not the kind of girl who's gonna make you do something that will frak up your system [17:10] lol [17:10] lol [17:10] it's already there [17:10] how can i make my ubuntu-computer visible for other computers in the network? do i have to make a dns-server? does my router (linksys e3000) alrdy have a dns, or better a ddns server, when he has a dhcp-server? [17:10] first i hate nvidia and their "we refuse to let ubuntu distro our drivers" [17:10] rofl [17:10] now i had broadcom [17:10] hate [17:11] rambo298: alright, next dl b43-fwcutter_011-1_i386.deb [17:11] danileigh79, the broadcom dl is in the archive reader ... what do i do with it? [17:11] rambo298: del it and get fresh downloads into your dl folder in home [17:11] rambo298, i have a nvidia graphics card, had an amd before and the nvidia is far better supported, imo [17:12] i'll buy a gc soon, what does linux support?

[17:12] Shojo: buy a nvidia [17:12] /bin/tempfile that is [17:12] nvidia is definitely the best supported by linux [17:13] true [17:13] does any1 have an answer to my question?^^ [17:13] rambo298: how we doing? [17:13] almost there [17:13] ATI/AMD runs very well with driver version 12.1, but not better than nvidia grafic cards [17:14] rambo298: K also don't forget the b43-fwcutter_011-1_i386.deb [17:14] err nice; the server 11.10 installer left out /tmp when using partition full hd with just root and swap, no LVM [17:14] ok both in the dl window [17:14] rambo298: also, don't try installing anything yet, we have a few other things to do [17:14] thks guys. rambo298 : http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [17:14] danileigh79, fire away [17:14] Curiousx: depending on the chips compared of course [17:14] well i guess my old lexmark doesnt play nice with ubuntu [17:15] Greenit: what was your question? [17:15] rambo298: ok, now go into your dl folder in terminal, and type the following tar xfvj broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 [17:15] reisi, hm... on my server the /tmp directory is there, i had the 11.10 server cd, partitioned full hd and did not select lvm [17:15] Sparker: checked the lexmark site for drivers? [17:15] yep and nvidia join to de linux foundation recently =P [17:15] ActionParsnip, how can i make my ubuntu-computer visible for other computers in the network? do i have to make a dns-server? does my router (linksys e3000) alrdy have a dns, or better a ddns server, when he has a dhcp-server? [17:16] yay for Nvidia [17:16] Action sadly they only have ones for windows [17:16] to the xD [17:16] ugh [17:16] Greenit: if it is in the same subnet, it is already v [17:16] danileigh79, done [17:16] rambo298: Next, sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [17:16] greenit: What do you mean by "visible"?

I mean manually fill it with data...something like phpmyadmin or such [17:18] doesnt greenit need winbinds for that? [17:18] is the sudo cmd one cmd or two [17:18] rambo298: that's fine, now do hthis b43-fwcutter --unsupported -w /lib/firmware broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o [17:18] Sparker: try the z600 driver which is already available in the OS [17:18] johnjacobjinger, winbind installed and running [17:18] greenit: Hm ah, dunno [17:19] danileigh79: can i pm you? [17:19] greenit did you put the proper thing in the samba serer for it [17:19] ? [17:19] ? [17:19] Shojo: why? [17:19] cuz i dont wanna say it in the chan?

[17:21] johnjacobjinger, i can also ping other computers with the network-name, but i can't see them in the nautilus-network-window [17:21] hmm... not sure then what if u try accessing the machine from another machin via IP?

[18:25] johnjacobjinger: some of those i intend on using some of the server features [18:26] urgodfather: those features are in ubuntu desktop [18:26] what features are you looking for? === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [18:26] johnjacobjinger: dns, mail, smb [18:26] those are on server [18:27] urgodfather: the only difference is lack of GUI an graphics driver in the server version [18:27] urgodfather: You can install the server features in the desktop version. The opposite is also possible but makes less sense [18:27] theadmin: am I right to say not all the graphics drivers are on the server install? [18:28] johnjacobjinger: Well, Xorg is not present so no X drivers are there at all, yes, only console-mode drivers are there. [18:28] johnjacobjinger: they use the same repository. it does not matter if he is using the server or desktop version. he can apt-get the required drivers [18:28] it sounds like urgodfather installed server then added the desktop gui and now is finding that he cant get all his graphic features [18:28] theadmin: so... instead of using server backbone... use desktop backbone then build on top [18:28] JohnNapster, /etc/issur [18:28] JohnNapster, /etc/issue [18:28] bastidrazor: but we dont know his Graphics card and dell doesnt seem to list it [18:28] urgodfather: Basically, though it's easy, just issue one command: sudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo tasksel install ubuntu-server [18:28] johnjacobjinger: lspci | grep -i vga [18:29] johnjacobjinger: not just graphics... flash, etc [18:29] urgodfather: For the opposite, replace -server with -desktop lol [18:29] yea it just says built in generic vga bastidrazor no model number or anything [18:29] it's a dell server with an integrated generic VGA controller [18:30] wnt even say the chipset [18:30] anyone have a problem in unity, that the button to close a window is not in the orange color sometimes? [18:30] theadmin: so, since i have server on here then sudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo apt-get install tasksel-desktop [18:30] urgodfather: Err, ubuntu-desktop, not tasksel-desktop [18:31] urgodfather: sudo apt-get install tasksel && sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop [18:31] theadmin: but he has ubuntu-desktop just no graphics card driver and ctn figure out what kind of graphics card it is [18:31] dell doesnt even have the driver as it's built into Windows Server [18:32] (which is what that server was prob licensed for at purchase) [18:32] theadmin: well i already did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop so.. just do the tasksel [18:33] and i know from about a year and a half or so ago i tried ubuntu destkop on my poweredge 2950 and could never get that graphics card to work correctly [18:33] johnjacobjinger: it was an xgi [18:33] I've got a NAS running a windows share. Can't I somehow mount that some other way that with nautilus' "Connect to Server" so that it is recogniced as a mounted drive (Then I can get Conky togive me statuses on drive usage) [18:33] rypervenche ok thankx i'll try it :-) [18:34] I am trying to edit grub to default to Windows (it is a mame cabinet) with a live CD of fedora. I can seem to get sudo access.Any way to do this? I dont know sudo credentials for ubuntu install [18:34] Udda, Ubuntu vill installera ubuntuone-control-panel, som installerar halva Qt som dependencies... [18:34] ksus [18:34] whoops [18:34] rypervenche but i've done, it's just make no sense [18:34] urgodfather: whats ur dell service tag? [18:35] Odd, Ubuntu wants to install ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk which requires half of the Qt packages there is (it seems like)... [18:35] i want to see what was built with that machine maybe it has an exact model number for the GPU [18:35] 1rr0hb1 [18:35] johnjacobjinger: whats that lspci gprep command you had me do yest? [18:36] me? [18:36] i didnt have u do any command yesterday i dont think [18:36] nigth all [18:36] Rephrasing I wonder why ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk has libqt4-designer, libqt4-test, libqt4-help, libqt4-scripttools, libqtwebkit4 etc. etc as dependencies (it being a gtk package) [18:36] halooow?? [18:37] johnjacobjinger: it was like lspci | gprep vga or something of the sort [18:37] looks like a volari z7 video controller urgodfather [18:37] they have a redhat driver [18:38] oh crap [18:38] which one should i use?

Works fine for me lol [18:39] rhizmoe, because you haven't made your own yet? :P [18:39] i like utorrent [18:39] betefive: use more words [18:39] and transmission [18:39] chosig: that's really probably it. [18:40] no, transmission is the current suck. too clicky. [18:40] rtorrent ftw [18:40] rhizmoe: two words - screen & rtorrent [18:40] clicky? [18:40] clicky = too much manual operation [18:40] wats clicky mean? [18:40] oh [18:40] Just save the .torrent to a folder designated, and that's it. No clicky [18:40] rhizmoe: deluge is exelent [18:40] i see [18:40] i think [18:40] chosig: and then for specifying destination directories? [18:41] i don't just throw everything into one directory [18:41] @ how i can make program c++ on the backtrack? now iam using backtrack [18:41] i like utorrent just asks one thing when opening a torrent... where to save to and thats it [18:41] rhizmoe: It can save to a folder you want, and with sub-folders depending on label etc. [18:41] chosig: that's the current suck [18:41] it depends on how they implement it, though. i'll check it. [18:42] thanks everybody! [18:42] johnjacobjinger: how to install? [18:42] http://imgur.com/a/7i86W any idea how to fix this?

[19:56] it said you should use gdm setup [19:56] what should I do? [19:57] heeeey? [19:57] anybody there? [19:57] hooooy ? [19:57] !pateince|julian_ [19:57] nope. [19:57] ok === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial [19:57] i'me not here. [19:57] julian_: What release of Ubuntu are you suing? [19:57] I'm an illusion ! [19:57] *using [19:57] let me see [19:57] So, basically curious if I can tell it... /dev/sd[abcdegh]2 are good, and that it should trust me regardless of the status in the superblock [19:58] Or.. if there's a way to force a status by way of modifying the upserblock [19:58] The best Ubuntu distribution ever ! ==> Debian [19:58] XD [19:58] ;) [19:58] Pici, I am booting my netbook with ubuntu 11.10 but I'm getting an error "An error occurred while mounting" [19:58] klmmlk: If you don't have a support question, you can chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic. [19:58] 10.10 [19:58] I know. Okay. I stop doin idiot... well [19:58] velko_, just fixed my problem. I dont know which solution did, it was either the fstab or the changing my rc.local from one of the forum post. All I know is restarting now it all works like it should of to begin with :) thanks [19:59] rattatoue, congrats [19:59] PiCi? [20:00] julian_: I don't believe that the version of gdm in 10.10 supports theming the same way that earlier releases did. [20:01] ok [20:01] but what should I do for changing my login screen? === andre__ is now known as Guest87940 [20:04] !gdm2setup | julian_ [20:04] julian_: Up to Oneiric, GDM was used as the login manager. You can configure your GDM options, including the wallpaper and theme, with gdm2setup. See https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup for more information and installation instructions.~ [20:04] Hi all, I recently installed 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10. Having problems linking against the GMP (GNU Multiple Precision) libraries. I installed libgmp-dev and its prerequisites, but compiling even the simplest test programs (using "gcc -lgmp foo.c" or "g++ -lgmpxx -lgmp bar.cpp") dies with tons of undefined references. Anyone have any ideas? [20:05] Thanks [20:05] Hello [20:05] is there a link to the Ubuntu beta from the Website? [20:05] On the front page [20:05] !precise|j2_ [20:05] j2_: 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 [20:06] j2_: If you can't even find it, you seriously shouldn't be using it... [20:06] j2_: No offense, but [20:06] I have a older Shuttle barebone running Oneiric. Its a amd64 3800+ CPU. /proc/cpuinfo reports cpu MHz constantly at 1000. Is this what I should expect? [20:06] theadmin /slient assent/ [20:06] CFHowlett: wut? [20:06] theadmin agreement [20:06] CFHowlett: Ah. [20:08] theadmin, chosig: Where? [20:08] j2_: theres a link in the topic of #ubuntu+1 [20:08] Pici: I know how to get it. I was asking if it was linked from the website [20:09] sveinse: does it stay at 1Ghz if it's under load? I would think it's probably just cpu throttling. [20:11] wylde: I would too. The web tells me that 1GHz is the slowest speed of the processor. I've tried upping the load, but I haven't been able to yet [20:11] yombinator, this is from the gmp front page: http://pastebin.com/XLYHb54D [20:12] wylde, i.e. I haven't been able to load the system such that the cpu frequency increases [20:13] yombinator, it also says "Gcc 4.3.2 miscompiles GMP on 64-bit machines; please use a different gcc version" [20:13] sveinse: I like to use mksquashfs to put load on my procs [20:14] sveinse: I compress my music diretory to an xz compressed filesystem, puts plenty of load on mine. [20:16] sveinse: and it takes quite a while to complete so I have lots of time to check on proc load, temp readings etc. [20:17] velko_, indeed, could be a compiler problem. But, I'm using gcc 4.6.1, and my (64bit) gcc 4.4.3 running on ubuntu 10.10 still compiles the same files w/o problems. Also, the compiler v4.6.1 on the 11.10 machine compiles fine ("gcc -c foo.c" works). It's just in the linking phase that it can't resolve the relevant symbols. [20:17] * j2_ pokes theadmin and chosig [20:17] hey, anyone willing to help me with the Mono related problem? mono IRC seems useless [20:18] j2_: I actually can't find the link in any obvious place anymore. Weird. [20:18] wylde: Excellent. That certainly increased the load and the cpu frequency! Suspicion busted! Thanks [20:19] sveinse: glad to help :) [20:19] New install question. The partition manager has something called "EFI boot partition", however I was sure that the last time I installed ubuntu I just went for ext4 mounted on /boot - what am I missing here? Is EFI actually what I typically mount in /boot, or is it something else entirely? [20:19] theadmin: maybe you shouldn't be using it? :) [20:20] yombinator, have you tried to compile with clang? no idea if it will be an improvement... [20:20] j2_: Me? I don't use the beta, hell, I'm not an Ubuntu user, I use Arch. I excuse myself for being rude -- I thought you were just one of those who are all like "WHERE I GET BETA" [20:20] j2_: theadmin: http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu/12.04/ [20:20] theadmin: Ah :-) What lead to that conclusion? [20:21] Ebron ext4 is the default. [20:21] ActionParsnip: I know where the beta is. I was asking if it could be found on the Ubuntu Website [20:21] what cli command can i give to tell me if my hard-wired network card can handle N- speeds? [20:21] * ActionParsnip is the only person allowed to websearch it seems [20:21] CFHowlett: So what is this EFI good for? [20:21] j2_: That'd be offtopic, sorry -- we can take that to a PM session if you wish [20:21] j2_: its not for the masses as its not ready, so it won't be on the website [20:22] ActionParsnip: That's not the issue, the issue is "why is it not linked at ubuntu.com anymore" [20:22] skulltip, the N-sped isnt for wireless ? [20:22] theadmin: because its beta, so its stops new users trying to install it and getting all kinds of issues [20:22] velko_, no not yet. I'll give it a go. Also, rebuilding the gmp sources separately to see if gcc can link against those. [20:22] ActionParsnip: It was there earlier [20:22] Ebron IDK. I've got it by I installed ubuntu with ext4 anyway. Pretty sure efi is related to boot partition/configuration. [20:22] j2_: then i'd ask in #ubuntu+1 [20:22] ActionParsnip: But... wasn't it linked like a few weeks ago? [20:22] ActionParsnip: fair enough [20:22] j2_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta1 [20:23] itaylor57: I suppose that's good enough [20:23] i wouldnt have even switched to 11.10 yet if it wasnt the first official lubuntu version [20:23] klmmlk - dohh.. is it as fast through wired then? [20:24] ah. [20:24] skulltip: it's faster hardwired [20:24] theadmin: www.ubuntu.com/testing seems to be a stable URL to point to [20:24] hi, why do I have packages that have been "kept back" when I run apt-get upgrade? [20:24] nothing is better than a wire... [20:24] Hey, I wrote a bash script that uses whatever notification system is available, and with Ubuntu that would be Zenity. However, stupid zenity's --notification option halts the script until the user clicks on the notification icon. Is there a zenity option to display the notification and keep the script going, or do I have to use & ? [20:24] j2_: Ah. Thanks. [20:24] ok, trying to figure out why my ping is terrible in over half the oa servers, but seem ok in other games [20:24] Secondly, does zenity allow newlines, if so, how? [20:24] goldins: because the packages are ready, but its deps are not [20:25] ActionParsnip: thanks! [20:25] goldins: when the deps are met, the upgrade will happen [20:25] goldins: These packages have new dependencies, use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [20:25] I'm seeing WLAN brownouts, with 100% packet loss for a few seconds, then a slow rampup to acceptable levels again. dmesg gives me "wlan0: Wrong control channel in association response: configured center-freq: 2452 hti-cfreq: 2472 hti->control_chan: 13 band: 0. Disabling HT.", but google didn't find anything for that. [20:25] hello [20:25] wunnle greetings [20:26] DrSlony, have you tried "\n" for newlines? never used zenity tough... [20:26] velko_: yes... [20:26] skulltip, but i dont understand your question. (poor english behind...) your question mean "is the wireless N-speed is good throug a wire" ??? but if it's trought a wire... it's not N... it's wire... [20:27] carl-eric: if you disable ipv6 does it help [20:27] what did I not understand ? [20:27] ActionParsnip, I've never done anything with ipv6 - how would i turn it off? And what does ipv6 have to do with it? [20:27] carl-eric: it can help with connections [20:27] carl-eric: is it a centrino wifi by any chance? [20:28] zenity --notification --text="`printf "Line one.\nLine two."`" is stupid. [20:28] carl-eric: add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 as a boot option, its good to disable anyway if you don't use ipv6 anyway :) [20:28] there is a strange bug with my ubuntu. sometimes (randomly) when i do alt+tab, unity bar, panel and titlebar of all windows are crashing. I just can click to foreground window, and i can't open any other window. [20:29] ActionParsnip, one is a "Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100", the other is a "Centrino Advanced-N 6205" === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [20:29] carl-eric: thought so [20:29] carl-eric: can you give the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i driver [20:30] i have a directory named "-r193" that i'd like to cd into. When I try "cd -r193" I get a message about -r being an invalid option. Any thoughts on how I can move into the directory? [20:31] cd \-r193 [20:31] Giddeon: cd ./-r193 [20:31] ActionParsnip, I'm on the machine with WiFi 5100, this is the output: configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=e1000e driverversion=1.2.20-k2 firmware=1.7-7 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes port=twisted pair configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlagn driverversion=2.6.38-13-generic firmware=8.83.5.1 build 33692 ip=192.168.1.136 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11abgn [20:31] carl-eric, is there many wireless devices around, or any other micro-wave sources ? [20:31] klmmlk, there's a ton of wireless networks in this apartment block [20:31] err [20:31] carl-eric: echo "options iwlagn 11n_disable50=1 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf; sudo modprobe -r iwlagn; sleep 2; sudo modprobe iwlagn [20:32] DrSlony, i cannot even test your example. the notification system of zentity obviously does not play very well with gnome-shell. maybe this is also a point which you'll have to take into consideration [20:32] carl-eric, try to set manualy a bitrate lower. [20:32] velko_: as theadmin wrote [20:32] iwconfig wlanX rate 5M [20:32] oh sorry, wrong nick [20:32] ActionParsnip, that disables 802.11n, doesn't it? [20:32] Hello. I'm trying to get my Native Instruments Audio 4 DJ external soundcard working properly on Ubuntu 11.10. The device has 2 input and 2 output channels. The device is recognized by ALSA and is working, but I can only use the first input and the first output channel. I need to use the second output channel. The file /proc/asound/pcm has the following line "01-00: Audio 4 DJ : Audio 4 DJ : playback 2 : capture 2". So ALSA is recognizing th [20:32] at there are 2 ins and outs. (as opposed to "00-00: ALC269VB Analog : ALC269VB Analog : playback 1 : capture 1" for example). [20:32] velko_: i'll resort to `printf` and & (lame) [20:33] looks like this bug -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/917560 [20:33] Launchpad bug 916879 in unity (Ubuntu Oneiric) "duplicate for #917560 compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in unity::switcher::SwitcherController::CompareSwitcherItemsPriority()" [Critical,Confirmed] [20:33] rndmnck ask about this at audiodj http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109201 [20:34] carl-eric: yes, some centtrino wifi rubbish has issues with n speed and makes it disconnect, so you stop it and the connection is steady [20:34] rndmnck per audiodj, ubuntu is not supported [20:35] okay, ActionParsnip, I'll try that. thank you. [20:36] DrSlony, theadmin: thanks [20:36] CFHowlett: Some have already figured out how to get the Audio 4 DJ working properly with specific applications. I'm not sure how to interpret their solutions to fix my problem, but I think it can be fixed using their method. http://ywwg.com/wordpress/?p=772 [20:36] ok, let me try again in a better what. sometimes when i press alt+tab, unity crashes. What should i do? [20:36] *way [20:37] carl-eric: the .conf file adds options so that the loading of the module uses those options. The modprobe commands will apply the settings without need for reboot :) [20:37] ActionParsnip, yes, I've figured that much out at least :-) [20:37] rndmnck check in with #ubuntustudio [20:37] CFHowlett: thanks [20:38] ActionParsnip, and to try without making changes, only lower the bitrate with iwconfig could be a good idea no ? [20:38] how do I install ubuntu on a remote system.. i have ilom access through the SP only [20:38] probably should ask in #ubuntu-server [20:38] carl-eric: is it working ok? [20:39] ActionParsnip, i'll have to disconnect and reconnect - I am on that machine connected with the wireless ;) give me a moment. [20:39] <[[thufir]]> my hard drive is 90% full, and I want to write everything in /home to CD-R. How can I automate that, so that I just pop discs in? [20:41] <[[thufir]]> I don't want to backup system files, just files in /home. it's all one partition. === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [20:42] [[thufir]]: open brasero or whatever cd burner app you use and you should be able to tell it to span multiple CDs [20:43] <[[thufir]]> ohhhh. didn't know that was built-in! I just removed brasero and am using, err, gnomebuilder(?) or something. I'll check that out! [20:43] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: thanks [20:43] [[thufir]], you have disc-O-matic [20:43] ActionParsnip, so far it is working at least in sofar that I am connected [20:44] take a look here: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialCDBurn.html [20:44] <[[thufir]]> klmmlk: that sounds right. it looks like what I see on the ubuntu pages, the default sotware. I'll check out that link, thanks. I just assumed fancy software was required. [20:44] carl-eric: it happens with those centrino things [20:45] carl-eric: until your web connection exceeds 54Mbps, you'll be ok [20:45] ActionParsnip, my outside connection is 100Mbps... but I think I can live with the 50M inside [20:46] <[[thufir]]> I don't have the space for ~20 iso's. It only generates a single iso at a time for the data cd, yes? [20:46] carl-eric: wow, 50Mbps web connection, nice. Mines getting bumped to 120Mbps in summer :) [20:47] ActionParsnip, Fibre to the building :-) [20:47] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Is that connection for your home? [20:47] _Marcus: indeed [20:47] showoffs!!! [20:47] carl-eric: damn [20:47] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: D: We only got 50 Mbps up and down and this is Business Class [20:47] _Marcus: virgin media Uk's top speed [20:48] _Marcus: 50mbps up is niiiice [20:48] <_Marcus> I need to move to the UK now [20:48] virgin are saying 200MBps should be starting to roll out by year end [20:48] * CFHowlett remembers my 1200 baud modem fondly [20:48] MINE IS STILL ONLY 50 [20:48] oops [20:48] how do i access webdav shares using gvfs+thunar ? [20:48] "only". I remember thinking 14k4 was *fast* :) === din_ is now known as din [20:51] god-zotac: let me search [20:51] ActionParsnip:: thats what i've been doing, but there is nothing i can find that is straight forward about how to do it.. just things mentioning that it is possible, and how to use other file managers to do it.. i want to use thunar particularly though [20:52] why cant i play certain wmv files [20:53] god-zotac: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [20:53] oneiric ?? [20:53] -sc reports n/a ActionParsnip [20:53] god-zotac: cool, thats teh release name [20:54] that's on this machine i'm using now which is "testing" [20:54] god-zotac: hmm, can you run: cat /etc/lsb-release; apt-cache policy thunar and pastebin the output please [20:54] Hi. I get this error trying to run a game: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0. I cannot seem to find libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 for lucid... [20:54] why dont certain wmv files play when using them on a web intereface etc [20:54] i have a 11.10 install on the laptop which is acting the same way, and i want it to work on them both. im trying to integrate dropbox and owncloud across my devices.. i pretty much have everything working great, (also with nfs shares) except thunar [20:55] \join #globalsquare [20:55] Dosmorpheus: Wrong slash [20:56] ActionParsnip:: https://raw.github.com/gist/2008656/c08d87930b0fdb1ea0765db200585ba1c5d1cd99/gistfile1.txt [20:56] [[thufir]], r u here ? [20:56] can anyone help me with installing ubuntu on a mac? [20:56] <[[thufir]]> klmmlk: yes, still looking at pages to see options [20:56] I had issues installing on my air. [20:57] I remember of DAR, a replacement for tar that can achieve part of job on command lines. [20:57] god-zotac: precise isn't supported here [20:57] god-zotac: ask in #ubuntu+1 please [20:57] any wireless experts here? [20:57] ActionParsnip:: read above.. [20:57] ActionParsnip:: i told you that this was an issue also on the laptop that is running 11.04.. [20:57] err 11.10 [20:57] I have a problem with bzr [20:58] Hi, I have an app (alarm clock PID 21358) that seemingly crashes for no apparent reason. How can I find out why it crashed and at what time it crashed? I heard there are some logs???? May someone kindly put me in the right direction? [20:58] [[thufir]], if you prefer command-lines tools, it can be usefull, dar, pipes, bzip2, mkisofs, cdrecord can do the job... [20:59] StepNjump: dmesg | tail may help [20:59] ActionParsnip:: regardless of the version i installed. how do i get it working on 11.10 or 11.04 either one [20:59] ok so i will make a general comment to the list; canonical is going to lose users if they keep releasing distros like 11.10 that break crap that used to work (like wireless). i am tired of hearing the same old stories of "proprietary drivers"; i will seriously consider Mint next time [20:59] <[[thufir]]> with the backup, the only thing is that I can't make a tarball because I'm out of space. I thought of that. [20:59] god-zotac: not used thunar in a long time, are there any bugs reported. I'v connected easily to various shares using pcmanfm if you can install taht [20:59] i doubt this is an ubuntu release issue as i have same issue on 11.10 and 12.04 both.. [20:59] thanks ActionParsnip [20:59] i can install pcmanfm but thats not what the solution is [21:00] i want to use thunar. [21:00] and they claim on their site that it supports webdav by using gvfs some how [21:00] [[thufir]], with the pipes, you can make on-the-fly archives, without using temporary space... [21:00] <[[thufir]]> ok, well I'm going to reboot, cross my fingers, etc, and upgrade. then, later on, if my data is still there, I'll backup :) [21:00] I use that many times... [21:00] i've yet to see any documentation explaining how to set it up though.. [21:01] <[[thufir]]> oh, pipes. oh, like : tar foo | cdrecord .... something like that? [21:01] [[thufir]], yes. exactly [21:01] Er, I'm I imagining it, or the latest release starting from 11.xx towards 12.xx Update Manager no longer requires a password to do Updates!?? [21:01] god-zotac: all I can suggest is report a bug [21:01] but with DAR, not TAR, because DAR is sooooo much powerfull [21:02] <[[thufir]]> I'm not so strong in that. can you give me some pointers to doing that? I like that direction, never occurred to me. I'll google that now. [21:02] JJC2012: you can set it up like that, but it's not recommended [21:03] ssta: It already comes that way.... I don't seem to have a choice ont it! [21:03] ...on it [21:03] ActionParsnip:: hard to report a bug with little information known about how I am even suppose to do what i am trying to do heh [21:03] [[thufir]], I'am not able to answer quickly to you. I ever do what I want, but it can take me long hours for a simple script... [21:03] when i went to install ubuntu on my macbook pro iit told me to select a language and then i selected English and then install it ran somethings i wasent realy paying atention and then it wend to something that looked sort of like terminal help? [21:03] how do I add quicksynergy to startup applications? I gave command /usr/bin/quicksynergy and Name quicksynergy but it doesn't work [21:04] JJC2012: it is really all thagt onerous to type a password occasionally? [21:04] god-zotac: run: ubuntu-bug thunar and the process will start, you can explain the situation and the bug guys will ask you for outputs and so-forth [21:05] hello [21:05] ActionParsnip:: funny, everytime i have took that approach someone closes the bug with a response "missing information" or "invalid" or "will not fix" [21:05] after a fresh install of ubuntu.. i get the grub rescue prompt.. what went wrong... i have raid setup [21:05] ssta:??? I'M saying (or trying to) that IT does NOT give me the prompt box has usual!!!! [21:05] my SMART data said my HDD was failing yesterday. read error rate worst is at 1, reallocated sector count is at 190, and current pending sector count is at 200, but it's been 24 hours and nothing has changed. no corrupt data or anything [21:05] does anyone have tried ubuntu on eeepc x101ch with new atom processor ? [21:05] is it possible that it's related to a cooling issue and not a hard disk failure? [21:05] !anyone | gnu87 [21:05] gnu87: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [21:06] god-zotac, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager [21:06] !details [21:06] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:06] JJC2012: hmm, it still does in 11.10 AFAIK. It should anyway unless you tell it not to. I don't know about 12.04 [21:06] also, 91 bad sectors. up from 14 yesterday [21:06] damnit. don't have money to replace this drive >.> [21:07] when i went to install ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on my macbook pro it told me to select a language and then i selected English and then install it ran somethings i wasent realy paying atention and then it wend to something that looked sort of like terminal help?

[22:08] Praxi: Well, I need to make sure that all of my files will work on Ubuntu. I currently use a Mac with a lot of Word documents, as well as Pages documents, SimpleText documents (from waaay back) and others. Do I have to do a lot of converting to get them to read in Ubuntu? [22:08] nathanielonfire, openoffice/libre reads many formats [22:09] mac versions of office are already a little odd, so shouldn't be a problem to bring those straight across into libreoffice nathanielonfire [22:09] hello world!

[22:20] I am trying to mount a windows share on my ubuntu box. I am running centrify, so my ubuntu user is automatically authenticated against the AD. Using my file explorer I can get to the shares np. What I can't seem to figure out how to do is to make a 'shortcut' or 'bookmark' to the share. This page looks very complicated for something I can just browse to using Thunar. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPe [22:20] rmanently [22:20] :) will try guntbert. if not, hopefully it won't act crazy for much longer [22:20] thanks again [22:21] I would recommend to download the latest gparted live image, and put it on a dedicated USB [22:21] Praxi: when you are in the root of the share in nautilus, click the bookmarks menu and add it as a bookmark [22:21] Is there good writing software for Linux/Ubuntu besides LibreOffice?

[22:22] i know' [22:23] follow the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki [22:23] worked for me [22:23] Praxi: If the share is already mounted, then you should be able to do something like that command. It is no different in windows. You have to mount the share before accessing it [22:23] !enter | linuxdude2 [22:23] linuxdude2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[22:24] Nautilus is awesome. [22:24] nathanielonfire: or googledocs or there is another app too in the repos which uses online stuff [22:24] bodsda, in windows I don't have to mount the share just run that command and it opens it? [22:24] don't use anything else. [22:24] hi. i am having a problem doing an install from 11.04 alternate (x64) [22:24] Praxi: I believe so [22:24] thunar had a context menu for open terminal here, only reason I'm using it :) [22:25] !find zoho [22:25] Found: webservice-office-zoho [22:25] Praxi: not strictly true, the share will be auto mounted by something you configured (or ticked) [22:25] it fails at select and install software [22:25] @amazingrando use 11.10 now [22:25] Hmm, I'll take a look!

Terribly. [22:32] linuxdude2, ubuntu/mint upgrades are a huge pita with nvidia; every time i do it i have to pull a driver install from them, and fight x problems [22:32] when it comes to nvidia gpu's "closed-source" is sometimes better [22:32] and intel has yet to make a GPU that is useful for anything but office work [22:33] You guys are obviously pros.

[22:50] http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&client=ubuntu&sa=N&channel=fs&biw=1600&bih=811&tbm=isch&tbnid=kMYDA7x8hZarLM:&imgrefurl=http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-10-04-LTS-Beta-2-Has-GNOME-2-30-and-Revamped-Installer-139372.shtml&docid=C0uKMcvx6fWifM&imgurl=http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu1004beta2-large_003.jpg&w=799&h=599&ei=JYlaT-nlEY-NigKYqKXXCw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=765&vpy=309&dur=626&hovh [22:50] =194&hovw=259&tx=131&ty=76&sig=108341297231589816099&page=1&tbnh=144&tbnw=190&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:0 [22:50] hellyeah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:50] ActionParsnip, I think that message is for someone else ..:) [22:50] i want panel like that is it possible [22:50] lilVaratep suggestion: keep your /home separate from the ubuntu / root partition [22:51] GASSYPOOTS: I suggest you open /usr/share/applications and copy the files from there to desktop [22:51] I enquired about slow copying speed to the NTFS external HDD.. [22:51] CFHowlett: so i would have to manually make partitions? i hate that part =p [22:51] hellknight: Natty still has old school desktop,just use the classic option when you log in....as I said... [22:52] lilVaratep why? default install puts your /home under the / If you have to reinstall our /home data gets wiped. [22:52] Actionparsnip, will that increase the copying speed? [22:52] CFHowlett: do i need to create a /var and a swap partition as well? [22:52] Actionparsnip, I think that that message is meant for hellyeah [22:52] hellknight: I doubt it very much [22:52] hellknight: ahhhh [22:53] lilVaratep set a swap size - I go with 2X my ram so 8 Gigabytes ... [22:53] hellknight: yeah you are right.. [22:53] lilVaratep you have better control over your data, if you keep /home separate === rymate__1234 is now known as rymate1234 [22:53] CFHowlett: how bout a /var folder like arch forces me to make? [22:53] ActionParsnip, I'm happy with Unity.. looks good.. the fonts are nice.. [22:53] i mean /var partition [22:53] hellknight: does the system have a make and model? [22:53] sudo dpkg says file is loked by another process [22:54] lilVaratep the only folders I manuall create are /home /swap and / - I let ubuntu default the rest [22:54] lilVaratep, you only need /home and / usually... unless you have a server [22:54] lilvaratep: I think that 4 GB swao should be enough [22:54] Submariner: is software centre open, or synaptic, or are you installing updates etc? [22:54] i have 4gigs ram so ill probably use 8gigs swap [22:54] lilVaratep: you can have just one partition if you want [22:54] ActionParsnip, Hmm.. It's a Dell Inspiron 14 R, Intel Core i3 2310M, 320 GB HDD @ 5400 RPM, 4 GB RAM & 1366x768 resolution [22:54] my grandma hate ubuntu >.< [22:55] ActionParsnip: it seems software center isnt opening, is a software from a project [22:55] ActionParsnip, The external HDD is of Seagate GoFlex 500 GB USB 2.0 [22:55] how big should /home and / be? im using 8gigs for swap out of 50 gigs [22:55] lilVaratep, you don't need that much swap. 4 GB is enough. & /home depends upon your total data.. [22:55] well, i have 50gigs total [22:56] i mean free space [22:56] lilVaratep, if you have 50gigs total... less swap, I'd even go for 2GB if you have 4GB RAM [22:56] 10 GB to /, 4 GB to Swap & the rest to /home [22:56] as for /... you probably won't need more than 15GB depending on what you install [22:56] ok. maybe was permission [22:56] hey guys, I just installed deluge-webui, but it doesn't show the contents of "my" deluge-client? How do I change that? [22:56] lilVaratep save some for windows [22:56] CFHowlett: my windows already has 180gigs [22:56] lilVaratep, 8gb for swap is way over kill, I have 4GB of ram and 1Gb swap and have never seen the swap monitor show any usage. [22:57] hellknight: do you have the latest BIOS? [22:57] Zaitzev, did you change the settings in the Deluge client as well? I mean did you enabled it in the app? [22:57] hellknight: is the USB set to legacy mode? [22:57] yeah [22:57] ActionParsnip, yeah.. everything is updated.. [22:57] ActionParsnip, actually, the USB is giving full speed in Windows.. [22:57] nope, still dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process [22:58] hellknight: try the different usb mode in bios [22:58] ActionParsnip : This might be an issue with the NTFS-3g package [22:58] ActionParsnip: Yeah I'll toggle around [22:59] Zaitsev, it works fine for me under Transmission [22:59] Zaitzev, works fine for me under transmission [22:59] I'm not sure how I should config it? [22:59] any way to put a windows 7 look alike background on? [22:59] GASSYPOOTS sure. you dual boot? [22:59] ya [23:00] but how do i switch boots [23:00] GASSYPOOTS: sure, you can use the same wallpaper in Ubuntu [23:00] Zaitzev, open Transmission/Deluge.. go to the web tabs & select 'Enable Web Client' [23:00] hellknight: I mean, I do localhost:customport and it connects, but there aren't anything listed (no torrents or anything) [23:00] GASSYPOOTS wait 1 - it'll be worth it [23:00] what do i choose for device for boot loader installation? my root folder ? [23:00] Zaitzev, same port on both the applications? [23:00] or the /dev/sda, or my windows 7(loader) ? [23:00] lilVaratep, on /dev/sda [23:00] lilVaratep, then it will detect Windows installation [23:01] my grandma wants her windows slowx7 back but i want ubuntu !!!!! [23:01] yes [23:01] There a shortcut to disable sleep function? [23:01] Zaitzev, this thing works here pefectly on Transmission. [23:01] how do i keep them both but switch im already dual booted [23:01] GASSYPOOTS windows 7 images are at /Users/user/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Themes/ [23:01] on the windows hdd [23:01] can you use terminal to switch [23:01] Zaitsev, do it like 192.168.1.2:9091 [23:01] GASSYPOOTS: could run Ubuntu in a virtualbox [23:01] Zaitzev, try it with your IP add [23:02] not realy [23:02] here we go.. [23:02] sshould i encrypt my home folder? [23:02] it works now :) [23:02] чуваки [23:02] lilVaratep depends on your paranoia level [23:02] CFHowlett: so yes... lol [23:02] !ru|arinov_ [23:02] arinov_: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [23:02] oh sorry [23:02] lilVaratep: think this through - do you really need to encypt your disk ? [23:02] i thought i am on ..-ru [23:02] lilVaratep: %90 of people don't, permissions would be enough [23:03] the headache of managing encypted devices on home user systems is such a waste unless you really need it [23:03] crap too late i encrypted and clicked install [23:03] how to abort install? LOL [23:03] its still retrieving! [23:03] i have an cp1251 cyrillic named files in zip archive and file roller show it replaced by ? symbos [23:03] putting the encyption button on the installer is asking for trouble [23:03] how to fix it? [23:03] lilVaratep: just re-install it [23:03] GASSYPOOTS windows 7 themes and images are at http://paste.ubuntu.com/876736/ [23:04] ikonia: +1 [23:04] if i encrypt my /home, and i decide to reinstall ubuntu later or update, will i be able to still access the encrypted /home? [23:04] lilVaratep: yes but its not as easy as unencrypted [23:04] lilVaratep painfully, probably, maybe [23:04] lilVaratep: with a lot of effort [23:04] lilVaratep: hence why I'm saying for %90 of home users, they don't need it [23:04] lilVaratep, very painfully :P [23:04] and especially with the target audience of Ubuntu too [23:05] people want it as they think it's "cool" when the reality is some safe permissions are all that's needed at best for most people [23:05] okay.. i just did a hard reset [23:05] OMG internet explorer is spyware/ system keylogger!!!!!!!!!11 [23:05] it was still retrieving files so i can just install again [23:05] right? [23:05] lilVaratep: sure [23:05] GASSYPOOTS: please don't be silly [23:05] no realy [23:06] GASSYPOOTS: IE is offtopic here [23:06] GASSYPOOTS: the channel is for ubuntu technical support, take your random nonsense elswhere please. [23:06] under windows partition look under [23:06] GASSYPOOTS: not the place. Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [23:06] GASSYPOOTS: or ##windows [23:06] I do'nt even want it in #ubuntu-offtopic please. [23:06] hp/windows/tracing [23:06] ##windows then [23:06] anyone familiar with the minimal net installation? [23:06] amazingrando: i've used it [23:06] amazingrando: used it, [23:07] ikonia: in many saner jurisdictions you could not responsibly carry around a notebook without encryption carrying data concerning people like patients or even customers. it is nearly a must [23:07] networking is fine at the start of the install, but then it's down after it gets the first stuff from the repo [23:07] nopf: depends on your business and the data you are carrying sure, [23:07] how can i bring it back up? [23:07] amazingrando: shouldn't down it [23:08] amazingrando: is it actually down? [23:08] yeah, the link lights are now off === danbeck_ is now known as danbeck [23:08] amazingrando: is it a wired connection? [23:08] yeah [23:09] oh i just clicked re-install.... this is why i love ubuntu. SO EASY AND SIMPLE unlike arch or gentoo! [23:09] lights off suggest the link is dead rather than the card is down [23:09] lights go off at the same time during install each time [23:09] lilVaratep aaah. another happy customer! :) [23:09] lilVaratep: Ubuntu is onyl simpler than Gentoo because you don't know how to do things the Gentoo way :) [23:10] Bodsda: hell no im not going back to that crazy thing. the network setup was maniacal. it would've taken a month to find out that it doesn't work... [23:10] lilVaratep what's REALLY cool is when you do an (re)installation & DON'T format your /home and get a new distro with all your data intact... [23:10] gentoo is okay if you have the time and interest...I think Ubuntu really is simpler to use though :) [23:10] lilVaratep: hehe :) gotta love Gentoo - it makes normal people go insane :) [23:11] I'll probably get into gentoo/arch in the summer or something [23:11] I'm sure that i'd be fine if the wireless was supported... but setting up the wireless myself just drove me nuts for both gentoo and arch === miguel is now known as Guest13973 [23:12] ssta: gentoo teaches you a lot too [23:14] Anyone do multiple monitors with ubuntu? [23:14] yep [23:14] ActionParsnip: I was building LFS in 2000. I've already learned all that stuff...gentoo is easier than that, but I don't have that kind of time any more [23:14] How do the workspaces work? [23:14] lilVaratep: I have an extended monitor setup, so they work exactly the same, theres just more room left to right [23:15] if I could be bothered building everything from source, I'd go for BSD anyways [23:15] Is there a way to take out the dash and go to something that looks like Arch's setup? [23:15] ssta, but BSD has some problems.. lack of a package manager.. [23:15] lilVaratep: fluxbox? [23:15] ssta, Gentoo's emerge is better [23:15] Bodsda: whats that [23:16] hellknight: ports is as good as emerge [23:16] lilVaratep: its a window manager - an alternative to Gnome/Unity/KDE/XFCE/Blackbox/IceWM/E7 etc etc. [23:16] it's all a matter of opinion anyway [23:16] Oh would it be like DWM? [23:16] ssta, moreover, FreeBSD is good but lacks KMS support so ATI card is like hell on it :) [23:17] hellknight: I never buy ATI cards...but that's a valid point [23:17] I thought I was stuck with this dash look forever. I didn't know that UNITY/GNOME/KDE were window managers. i thought they were like the environment [23:17] Why the hell does VLC have an ASCII output module?! o.O [23:17] ssta, same here.. NVIDIA FTW [23:17] lilVaratep: technically, they are desktop environments [23:17] lilVaratep: none of those are WMs :) [23:17] ssta, I've a quad boot in my system.. Arch Linux, Ubuntu, FreeBSD & Windows 7.. [23:18] awesome window manager is awesome :] [23:18] pdq: rat poison ftw! [23:18] lilVaratep: Gnome and KDE are desktop environments and Unity is a shell [23:18] hellknight: basically I don't have the time or inclination to build everything from source, so I use ubuntu almost exclusively. I have many VMs of various sorts which satisfies my need for variety [23:18] ActionParsnip: how does a window manager take out the dash then? [23:18] Is there anyway to partition /home without unmounting it? [23:19] ssta, you could use Arch Linux. It doesn't compiles from source but has BSD init system. [23:19] lilVaratep: because you are using Compiz as the WM in Unity, and I believe Metacity in Unity 2D [23:19] Bodsda: not safely, no, I don't believe so [23:19] Bodsda, i havent tried rat poison yet, is it tiling wm too? [23:19] is there a place that kernel trace/dumps are stored? [23:19] pdq: yeah, but very very minimal [23:19] or is it pretty much the console it dumps to? [23:19] hellknight: I've been using debian of one sort or another for over a decade...I'll stick with what I'm happy with...Currently Ubuntu is my Debian of choice :) [23:20] ssta, Debian rocks bro.. one of the best distributions. [23:20] Anyone know if there is a safe way to unmount /home whilst logged in? [23:20] ssta, they removed the binary blobs from the Debian 6 kernel so it failed to install on my system.. Actually it did install but no network :( [23:21] hellknight: well, Ubuntu is just Debian with a few tweaks and a better installer... [23:21] ssta, yeah.. But they need to work on power management. Heard pretty bad things about it. Sucks the battery [23:21] hellknight: I wouldn't know about that...haven't had anhy problems with battery [23:22] ssta, phoronix site was saying that. Will confirm once my dad returns with his laptop.. === saint_ is now known as Guest44191 [23:22] XD === Guest44191 is now known as aspire [23:23] Does ubuntu write out a kernel panic trace to logs by default? machine already restarted at this point. [23:24] I'm thinking about getting a Laser Printer for home. Loads of documents/reports/project work to print. Thinking about getting Canon LBP 3000 as it can be refilled. [23:24] How's Canon with CUPS? [23:25] hellknight: check the canon site. they do make some deb drivers [23:25] ActionParsnip, the HP desktjet 2030 installed fine. Downloaded only 500 KB driver!! [23:26] how the F*** is it harder to set up NFS than SMB? === jay is now known as Guest99843 [23:26] hellknight: yeah hplip is in thedefault install :) === Guest99843 is now known as jason [23:27] can any one help me with this issue of my USB modem (zte mf190) : I works ok and usb_modeswitch detects it but ubuntu detects it on ttyUSB2 and that for some reason causes the network manager to fail to connect and i have to unplug /replug it again and again until it is detected at ttyUSB0 then it will work .. is there a way to force it at ttyUSB0 ??? [23:27] Random832 because of mounting the remote filesystem === jason is now known as Jason123 [23:27] ugh everythings registerd lol [23:27] jwash: i don't even know if i've got the export set up right === Jason123 is now known as JasonJay [23:27] is it possible to do a custom install (choose what to install or not) from the regular live CD iso? [23:28] i just uncommented the /srv/nfs4 in the exports file and made the directory [23:28] hellknight: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/Laser_Shot_LBP3000.aspx?type=download&page=1 yep, linux drivers ahoy [23:28] ACtionParsnip, Nice.. then Canon it is. Selecting it because I can refill it's toner in India for Just Rs. 500 ($10) [23:28] Anyone who can help out a bit with iptables? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1937313 [23:28] amazingrando pretty sure you need teh alternative install or DVD for that option ... [23:28] ActionParsnip, genuine toner costs around $60 (Rs. 3000) [23:29] yeah, i'm having trouble with alternative or minimal because they won't work with my network adapter for some reason [23:29] ok hey guys im trying to fer windows 7 on virtual box but i cant get the virtual box to install the windows using my scandisk I have enabled it in the settings but im unsure im new to ubuntu and cant seem to figure it out any help is appreciated [23:29] amazingrando: wired or wireless? [23:29] wired [23:30] it sees the network at the beginning of install and autoconfig is successful [23:30] JasonJay: i'd ask in #vbox [23:30] oh didnt know they had a channel cool thanks [23:30] but after it downloads from the repo the base system, eth0 is shut down [23:30] not sure how to bring it back up [23:30] amazingrando: does the system have a make and model? [23:31] it's a msi 890fxa-gd70 motherboard [23:31] realtek nics [23:31] Yay, i finally have a full install of ubuntu!

How would I do that? [23:33] !root|budget [23:33] budget: 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 [23:33] http://ideone.com/HJpPA [23:33] this is my config [23:34] ikonia, i know that and i hoped it would work when i call: http://$myip to get the default /var/www/index.html displayed instead of /var/www/blah.de/index.html [23:34] Budget: run: gksudo nautilus and you will be ok [23:34] tete_: how is $myip a name [23:34] tete_: it's NAME based [23:35] and how to configure apache to handle it that way i would like to have it? [23:35] tete_: you can't it's NAME based [23:35] it must work as i have seen this before [23:35] tete_: no, it will go to the default host unless you use a NAME [23:35] tete_: or you use IP based hosting instead of name based [23:35] hm [23:36] i only have 1 ip [23:36] isnt there any "default" which should be used when no name is used (when a ip is entered) ? [23:36] i cant believe theres no way to do this [23:36] tete_: no [23:36] That did it, thank you. [23:37] can i get some help regarding ubuntu/?

[23:50] which torrent shud i select?

I have the same CPU in my lappy [23:53] grr tanath^^ :) [23:53] <[[thufir]]> can mondoarchive write a directory to optical disc? http://www.mondorescue.org/docs/mondoarchive.8.html at the end it says: mondoarchive -Oi -d /mnt/foo -E '/mnt/foo|/mnt/foo2' -p `hostname`-`date +%Y-%m-%d` which makes me think "yes" [23:53] suj consider a light distro then; xubuntu or lubuntu [23:53] suj: oh, for 2.5Gb ram you'll be using 32bit and be ok [23:54] pdq, no, i use gnome classic session [23:54] hi all [23:54] got it working in gnome mplayer [23:54] pengw greetings [23:54] <[[thufir]]> got it: mondoarchive -Ow 4 -I ``/home|/etc'' :) [23:54] i got a problem which is very interesting [23:54] <[[thufir]]> anyone used mondo?
