[00:00] Hi guys! Does anyone here have experience building kernels? I need to crosscompile a kernel to ARMv6, i have the GNU ARMv6 compiler, but make keeps telling me $CROSS_COMPILEgcc does not exist, even though i am pretty sure it does [00:00] I can't seem to get any version of ubuntu to work in Xen HVM as a guest. Is there anything obvious I'm missing? [00:01] WebWalker3D|2: i dont know what xen hv,m is but with normal xen its working without problems here [00:01] I've noticed that my sound will no longer work on either my desktop or my laptop. It works fine when I'm running windows and I'm not sure what's causing the problem. [00:03] Drknzz, You may want to ask in #ubuntu-kernel I found a how-too but not sure how accurate it is, you can have a look here: http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/2010/10/19/how-to-cross-compile-arm-kernel-under-ubuntu-10-10/ [00:04] How to rotate a video 180° (with mplayer) ? [00:04] KIM7 Thanks man, will have a look.... the kernel is for a phone, but ive checked some of the source and most stuff is plain 2.6.x linux files [00:04] what, linux cant play mkv files? [00:05] (or mcoder) [00:05] itu http://nwlinux.com/rotate-a-video-using-mplayer/ [00:05] igor__: linux has nothing to do with mkv files [00:05] igor__: and mkv is not a video-format its just a container [00:05] so it cant play them? [00:06] igor__: of course you can play them but you need the codecs [00:06] where do i get them? [00:06] CFHowlett: i need 180° [00:06] iceroot: xen hvm is hardware virtualization, not paravirtualization [00:06] igor__: and what does "does not play" mean? laggy? no sound? not starting? [00:06] some log messages appear for a moment when logging out or pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace...what are they and where do they come from? [00:07] i get a green video in vlc. and all the others either wont play or the audio and video is way off [00:07] WebWalker3D|2: ok, should be working fine. what are the exact errors you are getting? [00:07] igor__ amazing what one can find with 60 seconds of online search http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-play-mkv-files-in-ubuntu [00:07] !codecs | igor__ [00:07] igor__: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:07] iceroot: 11.10 can't find network card, 11.04 installs then doesn't boot - can't find root [00:08] WebWalker3D|2: i would suggest a test with 10.04 because that release is using the mailline xen-kernel [00:08] iceroot: I'll give 10.04 a shot, back in 10 min :) [00:08] WebWalker3D|2: my best results i get are always with the mainline xen-kernel, 2.6.18, 2.6.26, 2.6.32 [00:08] I've noticed that my sound will no longer work on either my desktop or my laptop. It works fine when I'm running windows and I'm not sure what's causing the problem. [00:09] says unable to locate package vlc-plugin-esd [00:09] Does anyone know how to make irssi auto connect to irc and identify? [00:10] lilVaratep: irssi.org/documentation startup HOWTO does :) [00:10] i've already installed the restricted formats too [00:11] igor__: set the output method in vlc to x11 and it'll probably be ok [00:11] guess i'll have to go to windows to watch. linux canrt play [00:11] igor__: try waiting for replies rather than pointless emotional stuff [00:12] its not emotional. i've been at this for hours [00:12] where do i find x11 [00:12] ive looked [00:13] i dont see it in video settings [00:14] well, i tried it and still green video [00:15] any dvb-viewer recommendations? kaffeine doesn't play audio on hd channels for me, totem/gnome-dvb finds only a small number of channels (not the important ones). [00:15] igor i much prefer gnome mplayer, totem movie player or umplayer over vlc on linux, once install restricted codecs i can play all my .mkv, .mp4 files [00:17] igor__: http://screenshots.oahermes.com/16/big_61_vlc-1.1.0-video-settings.png just under skip frames, it says "output" I believe it's that [00:17] iceroot: 10.04 works... Any thoughts why 11.x won't? [00:17] +1 for gnome-mplayer :) [00:18] yes i found it [00:18] CIAO [00:18] it still isnt working [00:18] !list [00:18] TRESH: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [00:18] igor__: tried gnome-mplayer ? [00:18] Anybody who know how to rotate a video 180° (yes i mean rotating 180° and not flipping and i think it should have some option to do this in one run ... not rotating 90° twice ) ? [00:18] crashes [00:19] itu: I believe vlc can do that [00:19] i do not have vlc :( [00:19] it plays but the audio and video is way off [00:20] testing... [00:20] itu: you can install it though [00:20] itu, you sure have very specific needs hehe :) i only know of 90 degrees twice in mplayer [00:21] i gotta go. i'll try later. thanks for the help [00:21] but thats silly [00:22] (ok, seems to be the only possibility) [00:22] itu: why, you have a need and I'm naming a tool which can do what you need [00:22] itu: how is that silly>? [00:22] I'm having some sound problems with ubuntu 11.10. It's completely silent and is creeping me out. Windows 7 runs sound successfully so I don't think it's my speakers. [00:22] silly, could be standing on your head to watch video :p [00:23] Lirth: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [00:23] mplayer is silly [00:23] itu: mplayer is the daddy :) [00:23] itu http://mukeshchomu.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-rotate-videos-on-ubuntu.html [00:23] dont have the choice to install something right now [00:23] itu: http://nwlinux.com/rotate-a-video-using-mplayer/ [00:23] ActionParsnip: Do you want me to run that code in the terminal? [00:24] Lirth: please, select to upload to the server and a URL will be made, what is it please [00:24] Hi guys! Is there any command that allows me to test if a certain file exists and is readable? [00:24] itu http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1345/rotate-a-video-file-by-90-degrees-cw [00:24] Drknzz: file /path/to/file will show if the file exists or not [00:25] ActionParsnip: Why would file report the file is there, but make fails to find it? [00:25] Drknzz: have a look at "man test" [00:26] ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ec23669c5a30992323bf6930313763116b3d1894 [00:26] (nobody seems to read me, even if i am very detailed...) [00:26] Drknzz: you want "-e" from test [00:27] Drknzz: bad make file [00:27] anyone ever use brightq for canon printers? [00:27] ActionParsnip: I doubt a makefile for a linuxkernel to fail that miserably [00:27] Drknzz: if [[ -e filename ]] then echo "file exist" fi === varatep is now known as lilVaratep [00:27] Drknzz: no idea [00:28] Lirth: if you run: alsamixer are all levels unmuted and cranked? [00:28] Thanks iceroot [00:28] hey that download didnt work either [00:28] <[[thufir]]> am I specifying my CDRW driver correctly in this command please? should it be 1,0,1 or what? http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1511197 [00:28] ActionParsnip: I have no idea how to tell. I've never used it before. [00:28] actionparsnip [00:28] iceroot: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `then' [00:29] interesting problem trying to install luakit from source. I have lua 5.2 installed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/876831/ [00:29] Lirth: then try it....

[00:29] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: thx [00:29] Praxi: no, it won't work [00:30] Drknzz: working fine here [00:30] darn, getting completely shut down by this printer hehe [00:30] iceroot: if [[ -e "/home/drknzz/SEKernelDev/arm-2010/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc" ]] then echo "file exist" fi [00:30] Oh, sorry, messed up that [00:30] Too much coffe xD [00:30] how do i install xwin with kde on ubuntu server 11.10 [00:31] how do I use fluxbox in ubuntu? i already apt-get installed fluxbox [00:31] ActionParsnip: There are: Master (green), Headphones (red) PCM (Red) Front (red) Front Mi (empty) Front Mi (green) Surround (red) Center (red). I have no idea what each level means or what the names are. [00:31] varatep: Log off, then choose a fluxbox session [00:31] looking for another way then remastersys in order to make a full back up as is? [00:31] Drknzz: the only sessions i see is this one, guest, and other [00:32] varatep: You need to logoff, there you can choose between unity and fluxbox in the logonscreen [00:32] Drknzz: by the password? [00:32] how do i install xwin with kde on ubuntu server 11.10 [00:32] !info xwin [00:32] Package xwin does not exist in oneiric [00:33] OldOneEye: what should xwin be? [00:33] pdq:and then? [00:33] Lirth: are the levels high though? [00:33] Lirth: and unmuted. You can use M to unmute [00:33] ????? [00:33] i shud have a torrent software right? [00:33] suj: in which OS? [00:33] ActionParsnip: All except three are at the max. [00:33] windows 7 [00:34] suj: you will need to install one [00:34] Lirth: max the others if you can [00:34] how do i install xwin with kde [00:34] hmmmm.thhhhhot so.lol [00:34] i will be able to download the whole file then right? [00:34] ActionParsnip: Some have green highight to the letters. How do I tell if with green or without green is mute? [00:35] OldOneEye: what is "xwin"? [00:36] Lirth: use cursors and M, press ESC to exit [00:36] gui interface for linux [00:36] suj, yep [00:36] it used to be called xwin [00:36] with startx [00:36] OldOneEye: do you mean Xorg? [00:36] ActionParsnip: I tested both green highlight and without the highlight. Neither way I got sound' [00:37] OldOneEye: yes, thats xorg. If you have kde installed it will be running on top of Xorg. [00:37] OldOneEye: you are talking about xserver [00:37] umm if your in KDE, isn't X already started? sorry pretty new at this hehe [00:37] OldOneEye: so you have a server without a gui and you want kde? [00:37] Praxi: you are right [00:37] yes iceroot [00:37] i got ubuntu server 11.10 installed [00:37] OldOneEye: why didn't you just install Kubuntu? [00:37] OldOneEye: why installing server then? and the command you need is "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [00:38] im gonna run shells from here [00:38] OldOneEye: for that you dont need the server-edition [00:38] OldOneEye: you can do anything you can in the server OS in the desktop OS [00:38] OldOneEye: the server-edition is the same as the desktop-edition without a gui [00:38] how i install a gui [00:38] OldOneEye: i told you the command [00:38] kde [00:39] Anyone have any ideas to get this printer working in Linux? canon imagerunner advance c7055? [00:39] OldOneEye: the WHOLE idea of the server OSis to NOT have a GUI to make it more secure and boot faster and use fewer resources [00:39] ok [00:39] Praxi: checked the canon europe site === vientosolar_ is now known as vientosolar [00:40] hey i have a small problem that i just want to fix for the sake of fixing it === stewart1982 is now known as youngluv29 [00:40] ActionParsnip: I tested both settings after placing it and exiting. Neither worked. [00:40] when i start up my server (i mean, how often does that even happen?) i have to change interfaces to dhcp and back to static or it will not connect [00:40] doh nothing for linux there [00:40] any idea why that is? [00:41] ooh ya chaos, had that happen to me [00:41] something was pointed at Eth1 instead of Eth0, can't remember what file that was though chaos_zero [00:41] what's a good window manager? [00:42] varatep: openbox imho, compiz if you like eye candy [00:42] well it has 10 network interfaces [00:42] varatep, i like awesome wm and xfce, but diff strokes for diff folks :] [00:42] like 2 of my servers were doing that right out of the gate chaos_zero. Any time they rebooted woudln't pick up dhcp unless I ran it by hand. Had to go modify some dhcp file because it was looking at the wrong ethernet by default [00:42] Kubuntu keeps losing my wireless card. I can't see wireless networks at all. It worked right after I installed the system, but now it doesn't. I had the same experience with Fedora KDE. Is there something wrong with KDE and wireless configuration right now? [00:42] ActionParsnip: Isn't compiz what unity is using? === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [00:43] varatep: ask 10 people, get 10 different answers ;) [00:43] ahh ok, if its not just me i guess its not as big a deal [00:43] varatep: yes, unity is a plugin for Compiz. Just don't enable it :) [00:43] ill have to make a script or something to run that at startup [00:43] it was real zimple chaos_zero [00:43] basically the dhcp file was set to eth1 instead of eth0 [00:44] and I didn't have a eth1 [00:44] anyone got a sec to help with setting up sftp .. Used this how-to, but doesnt work ... help?? http://solderintheveins.co.uk/2011/03/ubuntu-sftp-only-account-how-to/ [00:44] waters33637: just install openssh-server and you are ready to rock [00:44] kinda .... [00:44] !work | waters33637 [00:44] waters33637: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [00:45] waters33637: the access to files will be the access you give the user on the files like a normal user, so there is no extra config needed [00:45] chaos_zero, I think it was in here? /etc/network/interfaces [00:45] was looking to change root it and a non shell login for users [00:46] I am having problems running a cross-compiler, when i try to sh any of it's files [gcc/gpp...] sh spits out a syntax exceptions, which leads me to believe the files DO exist, as shown by a simple ls/nautilus... yet when i try to run them with ./gcc, bash spits out that's not a file nor a folder [00:47] Drknzz: have you asked in #kernel [00:47] waters33637: here's another article, might help? www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 [00:47] ActionParsnip: #ubuntu-kernel is a ghost town... and i doubt this is really a #kernel related issue [00:47] cool thanks ... [00:48] ya thats it chaos_zero my bad servers were set to auto eth1 when they should of been auto eth0 [00:49] admin [00:49] question for gnome-shellers, I cant seem to get the gnome-shell title bar to appear on the "correct" monitor in a multi-monitor setup. xrandr set the primary, and the displays settings says the screen i think is primary. === aaGp is now known as Guest17627 [00:51] Is there anything like teamviewer available for unbuntu that will work WITHOUT a user logged on, is a hosted service type thing (so I don't have to poke holes in my firewall)? [00:52] ActionParsnip: I tried the sound thing and still nothing. Any idea what I should do next? [00:53] Lirth: does the system have a make and model? [00:54] ActionParsnip: Nope. It's my first home built computer. [00:54] Praxi: you'll need to port forward for any service like that [00:54] Praxi: no, ssh, vnc, rdesktop, nx needs firewall modifications [00:54] Yeah it's Home-brew-1.0.0 [00:54] ActionParsnip: But it also doesn't work on my laptop which is an HP Pavilion dv6 [00:54] :-) [00:54] :-) [00:55] guampa, estoy con testdisk, crees que valdrá para algo? [00:55] Praxi: teamviewer is not "non-interactive" you will not find a non-interactive app which is doing what you want [00:55] what application do u use to convert a vidio file into another video [00:55] ? [00:55] teamviewer works fine on windows without a user logged in? [00:55] Praxi: no [00:55] yes [00:55] use it all the time [00:55] Praxi: then it should do the same on linux [00:56] Praxi: because the linux-version is the windows-version [00:56] limitation of the linux client, its doing wine [00:56] correct [00:56] its not the same client either [00:56] has stripped down options [00:56] none of the options for 'start with windows' are there [00:57] Praxi: why do you want to connect to the remote system? [00:57] I can make it start with user login, but if I'm doing this so I can remote in from home, and no user is logged in say due to a power outage, it won't work :) [00:58] basically if something happens to the office while I'm at home, I need to be able to remote in and start fixing things. Its easier with team viewer as nothing additional has to be opened, no ports have to be forwarded, that type of thing. [00:59] !nx | Praxi [00:59] Praxi: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [00:59] Lirth: for the HP DV6 you may need to run: echo "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 enable_msi=2" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and reboot [00:59] Hello. I have a Lenovo W520 with nvidia graphic card inside. For some reason when i try to activate the nvidia drivers, the computer must be restarted for changes to take effect, and then it just hangs when trying to start up. So i cannot use my computer and have to wipe everything and install ubuntu again...That really sux!!! How can i correct this problem and make ubuntu use the proper nvidia drivers? [00:59] Praxi: you have to open a port but dont need a logged in user [00:59] thanks iceroot [00:59] diverdude: no need to reinstall, just boot to root recovery and unnstall the driver... [01:00] diverdude: You can boot with "nomodeset" and it should work until you download and install the drivers. [01:00] ActionParsnip: how do i boot to root recovery? [01:01] diverdude: try: nvidia-xconfig in root recovery console, may help [01:01] diverdude: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root [01:03] ActionParsnip: I tried that and it says it can't find the file or directory. [01:03] ActionParsnip: i then get Error: Unable to write to directory /etc/X11 [01:04] ActionParsnip: and i did sudo nvidia-xconfig [01:06] ActionParsnip: ? [01:07] Lirth: but i cant even boot...just in recovery mode [01:07] diverdude: Do you have a live cd/usb? [01:08] Lirth: yeah..or i can make one [01:09] diverdude: you should have write access there. You can add the boot option: nvidia.blacklist=1 and boot as if you'd never installed the driver [01:09] ActionParsnip: how do i add that boot option? [01:10] what's the package for vi full called? [01:10] diverdude: Actually, can you access the GRUB? [01:11] Lirth: yeah [01:11] iceroot, have you looked at that freenx recently? seems to generate a ton of errors about missing files when adding the repositories on 11.10? [01:11] diverdude: And, just to double check, you run into a problem after that where it has a black screen (maybe with a flashing underscore)? === Andy_ is now known as Guest63129 [01:12] Praxi: no not with newer ubuntu versions [01:12] Lirth: no it says checking battery state after having run a lot of aother stuff...and then i just hang [01:12] varatep: vim [01:12] kk thanks for the reply [01:13] varatep: if you want the real editor with all the stuff [01:14] diverdude: Try checking this page out. See if it helps. http://webpagedeveloper.me/blog/ubuntu-1110-boot-freezing-checking-battery-state-because-lightdm-fails-load [01:15] diverdude: hold shift at boot and press E, then delete the words: quiet splash and add the boot option: nvidia.blacklist=1 [01:15] diverdude: Try listening to ActionParsnip before me. (S)he's way more experienced at this stuff than me. [01:18] he ;) [01:18] crap... i gotta re-do plugins/syntax/theme for vim [01:18] Does anyone know how to make a Ubuntu 10.04 LiveUSB key without using a GUI tool? [01:19] ActionParsnip: should i add the nvidia.banlist=1 in the end of that tetfile or as a replacement for quiet splash? [01:20] bonsoir ya des francais ici ? :D [01:20] where's vim config files? i cant find in home or .config === Michael2507 is now known as Minitux90 [01:22] diverdude: replace [01:22] hey everybody !

[01:27] kiama2005: Open system settings and select keyboard layout. [01:27] hi ! [01:28] kiama2005: What does it display? [01:28] Lirth have done this does not solve prob. [01:28] kiama2005: What are you trying to have it as and what does it display? [01:28] English UK. [01:29] hey folks. I never actually tried installing linux with anything other than a CD/DVD disc. can someone commend on the installation process with.. say, a usb key? is it easier/just as easy as burning an iso on a CD/DVD, or what? [01:29] kiama2005: It shows (UK)? [01:29] matt5 it's easier [01:29] yes [01:29] matt5: I've noticed it running faster but I can't say that applies to everyone. [01:29] matt5 startup disk creator or unetbootin will do the job [01:30] Does anyone know how to make a Ubuntu 10.04 LiveUSB key without using a GUI tool? [01:30] matt5: no moving parts is advantageous too [01:31] CFHowlett: a cd has to be completely free before an image can be burned on it. I assume I'll have to wipe clear my 20gb disc? [01:31] matt5: With 11.10, you can dd the iso into a USB key and it will owrk. [01:31] and format it first? [01:31] kiama2005: Is the problem system wide or just in most circumstances? [01:31] matt5 whoa, what? [01:31] Something like this, but it doesn't work for 10.04: dd if=ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 [01:31] matt5: format it fat32, then use unetbootin to put the MD5 tested ISO on the device [01:32] matt5 you do NOT have to "wipe" your hdd. If you're booting another OS from redmond, you can install next to it (dual-boot). [01:32] hello, [01:32] Lirth in most circumstances that I have tried. [01:32] does anyone get some log messages that show for a split second after logging out or pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? [01:32] CFHowlett: sorry, I meant: I would have to wipe clean the usb key, which I plan to use for installation [01:32] wireless keyboard for 24 bucks a good deal [01:33] matt5: yes, thats what I meant [01:33] kiama: Does that mean there are some places where it works or every place you tried it doesn't? [01:33] I just found how find keywords 'sel_role' from .js file and .xml file: find ../ \( -name "*.js" -o -name "*.xml" \) -exec grep -i -o --color=auto sel_role {} \; -print >> ~/sel_role [01:33] Every place so far. [01:34] kiama2005: are all the letters in the right place? [01:34] yes [01:35] hm, ok. That sounds very good, I was not expecting this. So thanks! I'll look more into this and try to go for the installation tonight. Which brings me my final question: I can install the 12.04 beta, and expect it to be properly updated by periodically doing "apt-get upgrade", right? so when it's finally out, I won't have to do anything... I will be all good and up to date. Does this sound about right? [01:35] kiama2005: Try checking out this thread. It sounds like your problem.

[01:37] CFHowlet: What about vista? That wasn't in beta once it was released... [01:37] Lirth: well yeah, if its released it's not in beta.. [01:38] ActionParsnip: But was it "ready for prime time"?

[01:44] Kaizen: should do [01:44] actionparsnip ok i'll have a look, thanks [01:44] I think even damn small linux needs 100mb, and that's.... damn small! ;) [01:46] Wow...

How do you think I'd do that for my desktop? [01:52] can i do this with rm ? [01:53] and some glob operation -- or do i need to use find . with a regex?

[02:02] aaron777: its just messages from the login, before the gui loads [02:03] umm xpud is a fail, can't install it to disk in virtualbox [02:03] i have search a lot,nothing help,so i come to here to find if any help? [02:03] ActionParsnip: is there any way to hide them? they're really annoying [02:03] i always think somethings broken [02:03] Can anyone help me get my sound working on my desktop? It's completely silent and fairly creepy. [02:04] aaron777: you could add the word: clear in /etc/rc.local abouve the exit 0 line [02:05] hey [02:06] it is possible to resize a linux partition where the ubuntu is installed? i have it with more space that i need [02:07] sure it is [02:07] rfiaca_: sure, do it in liveCD. Take a full backup first in case of catastrophe [02:07] but you need to boot the hd. with some live cd. [02:07] *brainfart [02:08] hum, ok, make sense... [02:08] thanks a lot jakupl and ActionParsnip [02:10] how the hell can they claim xubuntu is leightweight? it takes 2GB to install, that's not lightweight [02:10] Kaizen: its light in RAM [02:10] Kaizen I believe the light reference is to the required hardware to run ... [02:10] Kaizen: it uses lightweight apps which use few resources [02:10] ok, i stand corrected :) [02:11] Kaizen: Lubuntu is even lighter, it uses LXDE and openbox :). You can go even lighter with just openbox, or even just flwm [02:11] 2 gb isn't much [02:12] it is for my needs [02:13] Kaizen: install ubuntu minimal, then install openbox and slim and you'll have a super light OS [02:13] Slim is kinda yucky... but I use it, and it works. [02:13] what is slim? [02:14] a login manager [02:14] it's lightweight. [02:14] !info slim [02:14] slim (source: slim): desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-8ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 755 kB, installed size 1424 kB [02:19] ok trying lubuntu [02:20] instead of using my public ip that always changes what can i do so that i have one address when it changes [02:20] or a hostname that i use [02:21] use svpn.com [02:22] fellayaboy: get an account with noip or dydns and you can have a name that will update the DNS with your new IP when it changes [02:23] ugh why is lubuntu installing gigs of junk.. grr [02:23] ActionParsnip, but u have to pay for those services right [02:24] fellayaboy: noip is free [02:24] oh ok is it secure? [02:24] fellayaboy: just have to refresh the account when they send you an email to say you still need the name [02:24] i wouldn't trust them [02:24] fellayaboy: secure in what way? [02:25] fellayaboy: it just changes your ip to an easily rememberable name, what is there to be secure? [02:25] oh ok ActionParsnip [02:25] Kaizen: why not [02:25] cos they control where the traffic goes, they could redirect anywhere whenever they feel like it [02:25] hows the usual setup for this i never did a dyndns or no ip before [02:26] i always remembered the public ip address never gave it a host name [02:26] Kaizen: it resolves your ip to a name, thats it [02:26] you can set it up in your router most times [02:26] name to ip you mean [02:26] Kaizen: both if you want to get techy [02:27] they do rdns? [02:27] Kaizen: i'd imagine so [02:27] impossible! [02:28] Kaizen: ubuntu also has a client for noip in its repos, so it can't be bad :) [02:29] i'm still suspicious, how do they make money? [02:29] Kaizen: you can pay for mail redirects and other services [02:30] Kaizen: companies not making money can exist [02:30] that's just silly :) [02:30] *cough* postal service/amtrack *cough* [02:31] Kaizen: for example http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/enhanced_dynamic_dns.html [02:31] Kaizen: basically, you need to chill out [02:31] Need help here, I'm on the terminal, I typed "mv *" all my directories are gone, where does they go? [02:31] i got my lubuntu now and the screen is ice blue so i feel more chilled [02:31] i am still wondering if deckard is a replicant, did he know it?

[02:34] oh man, even the base lubuntu is 2GB disk [02:37] Kaizen: install ubuntu mini, openbox and slim or lightdm (or even do away with login manager wih some tweaks) [02:37] maybe i can rip out some stuff from lubuntu [02:38] Kaizen: sure, theres a bit of stuff in there you can rip out [02:40] hrm what's the tool that show what is taking up all the disk space? === Guest17627 is now known as aaGp [02:41] Kaizen: disk analyser I guess. I'd rip out apps your don't need [02:49] this is hard work [02:50] Need help here, I'm on the terminal, I typed "mv *" all my directories are gone, where does they go? [02:50] -r ??? [02:51] how can I remove a wrong entry from Gedit's spell checker? [02:51] I used "move command" :( [02:52] asdf [02:53] hmw: is there a file ~/.aspell.en.pws [02:53] ActionParsnip: no [02:54] hmw: or similar? [02:54] jerem [02:55] jeremiah_gatong: You should have gotten a syntax error if you did not give it a destination ie 'mv file destination' === Maucat_ is now known as maucat [02:55] hmw: in the gedit plugins there is the spellchecker there. If you click configure are the additional words there? [02:57] ActionParsnip: I can only disable that plugin. Does not look like there was a dictionary in ~ and the word is not in ~/.config/enchant/en_US.dic [02:58] is gnome pronounced, nome or or gah nome [02:59] drounse: nome the g is silent [02:59] I typed "mv *" [02:59] no error [02:59] ActionParsnip ok thats what i thought but the guy from lockergnome said it gahnome === Pikkachu is now known as PikkachuAway [03:01] hes an idiot anyway [03:01] drounse: yeah some people think every letter is pronounced [03:01] jeremiah_gatong: Are you using ubuntu? Which version? [03:01] ActionParsnip well ive always pronouced it nome but this guy said gahnome and im like what? i thought ive been pronouncing it wrong [03:02] jeremiah_gatong: I think it is more likely that you are looking in the wrong folder === Maucat is now known as love [03:02] so [03:02] is "retreive" british english? I have set US English in Gedit. [03:02] leo.org doesn't know this spelling [03:02] :( [03:03] pidgin does mark it as wrong, if this matters [03:04] does anyone here watch "The Linux Action Show" [03:05] linux action? stripper show?

It would make the podcast more intresting. [03:06] _Marcus yea but it is a pretty good podcast [03:08] hmw: retrieve is the right spelling in british english (Native englishman here) [03:08] df === love is now known as maucat [03:09] does anyone know how to downgrade minecraft to 1.1 in ubuntu [03:09] I have the update notifier going off on my desktop. When I click update it tells me i have no internet. I fired up synaptic tried the newest version of chrome randomly, same error. Yet....I am on irc right now, and my internet and dropbox work. Nothing has changed since the last time I got an update however many days ago that was. I am on ubuntu 11.10. Any ideas? [03:09] rm -rf minecraft [03:09] Kaizen isnt that just going to remove [03:09] it's a downgrade [03:09] very down [03:10] Kaizen i dont want to remove lol [03:10] well you should [03:10] Kaizen why? [03:10] drounse: download the 1.1 version of the game.. [03:10] ActionParsnip: thank you. It's weird, the other PC has the same version of gedit and can see it as wrong spelling. The "bad" gedit does not mark "retreixyve" as wrong, either, but it marks other words. Any idea what could be going on? [03:10] ActionParsnip i cant find a download link [03:11] drounse: i'd find a minecraft channel [03:11] hmw: not sure, very weird [03:13] ActionParsnip: oh. Turning off syntax hilighting works, it is a PHP file. === maucat is now known as love === love is now known as maucat [03:15] exit [03:16] ActionParsnip: it does only check strings that are actually strings in PHP, but not in the HTML part. === Maucat is now known as Guest73453 === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [03:17] so i have a Dell V130 laptop here, celeron u3400 and intel series 5 chipset, and my hard drive is no longer detected. i tried a different hard drive that i know works, it's also not detected (at the BIOS level). I ordered an SSD but I don't want to open it if that won't work either. any thoughts on what's going on? [03:18] the drive is borked? [03:18] my motherboard has a daughter card with what seems to be the HDD controller on it (at least, it has the SATA plugs) but it also does audio-out... and audio out IS working (live USB works perfect; it's just the internal HDD interface is bunk) [03:18] ActionParsnip: fyi: Switching to HTML solves the problem [03:18] both drives are WD Blue, so maybe they broke the same way? But I doubt they're BOTH bork and invisible to the BIOS because of it? [03:19] what did you mess with? [03:19] is there some kind of trick to get ubuntu alternate install cd to work with a usb drive ? I used unebooten to create the disk, and it does boot, but then installer seems to forget where it booted from, and is looking for a cd drive [03:21] Kaizen: nothing. just swapped HDDs. Haven't been experimenting with it, it's my production laptop. :/ [03:21] hi [03:21] does anyone know how to program a bluetooth device on ubuntu, i.e. send AT commands?

[03:30] i got a bunch of windows shares on my home network, but ubuntu seems to have trouble seeing them, sometimes they're there, and sometimes they just disappear all at once. help? [03:30] GASSYPOOTS: hold shift at boot [03:30] did that [03:31] The left shift key or right shift key?

As soon as the system starts to power on. Hold it [03:34] it doesnt do anything [03:34] hey all I'm looking for a beginners tutorial on how to setup shell scripts for ubuntu ... basically I want to write a script I can use to create my dev and deploy environments automatically [03:34] mouse/cursor is MIA after fresh install of 11.10 [03:34] any high quality suggestions?

I fired up synaptic tried the newest version of chrome randomly, same error. Yet....I am on irc right now, and my internet and dropbox work. Nothing has changed since the last time I got an update however many days ago that was. I am on ubuntu 11.10. Any ideas? [03:36] SHOVELL: Yeah, so I have no idea what's going on here, because my Live USB also can't see the hard drive (through any included utility). it's not a terribly big deal because Dell can sell me a replacement daughterboard for under $100 (I think it might be closer to $60) but it'd be nicer if there was a simple fix :/ [03:36] delinquentme: if youmake a text file with the top line: #!/bin/bash and mark the file as executable, it will be a script [03:36] earthkin, look in ~/.xsessions-errors there might be a hint there [03:36] I'm unable to connect to a wireless (WPA) network under Ubuntu 11.10.  When clicking Enable Wireless from the menu it's disabled again very shortly thereafter. The same occurs from the Network menu in System Settings - I disabled Airplane Mode (which was enabled after the install), but it seems to reenable itself every time I reopen settings.  I tried the commands at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=882357 but after making [03:36] GASSYPOOTS: you can use a chroot [03:36] the command "sudo dhclient wlan0" appears to hang, as it does not return even after several minutes.

[03:36] Is there like one to one support [03:37] harry_, the channel is busy at the moment be patient [03:37] how do I look in ~xsessions-errors? [03:37] ActionParsnip, so i can just run all the commands I want .. sequentially and with those two things .. it will install? [03:37] harry_, sorry i read that wrong [03:38] any ideas? [03:38] delinquentme: yes, it will rus as if you typed the commands [03:38] earthkin: you mean ~/.xsession-errors? Use any text editor [03:38] what is chroot [03:38] open a terminal and type 'gedit ~/.xsessions-errors' [03:38] can you atleast give me a terminal command [03:38] I don't understand. WIthout a mouse I can't use anything except a terminal, which I'm in now [03:38] GASSYPOOTS: its not just one commad [03:38] oh, thanks gassy [03:38] then type 'vi ~/.xsessions-errors' [03:38] GASSYPOOTS: Is Windows still installed? [03:38] ya [03:39] ran that command, but it says "Cannot open display" [03:39] GASSYPOOTS: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?

[03:42] ouch [03:42] SHOVELL: You probably have an invalid position table. This can be fixed. [03:42] Jordan_U, ooooh [03:43] Jordan_U, is there a guide on how to do this? [03:43] SHOVELL: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [03:43] Would anyone be able to tell me why my sound isn't working?

What am I looking for, and how to I scroll up? [03:47] earthkin: does PgUp work? [03:47] Jordan_U, think you might be able to help the description that the tool you linked seems to be the case [03:47] earthkin, I think you want to go to the bottom of the file, press shift+g to go to the end of the file [03:47] Hi! [03:48] scanict: no, it doesn't [03:48] MNichie: I'm not in a file anymore - I just want to scroll up the screen. shift-g doesn't help [03:49] oh, to scroll up/down in the terminal press shift+page up/page down [03:50] SHOVELL: I think it's probably that your extended partition is mis-sized, if that's the case it should be trivial to fix with fixparts. [03:50] Jordan_U, it looks like i have lost my sda and sdb [03:51] anyone knows python here? I want to use it with conky.. [03:51] Jordan_U, i have not tried to change the extended part yet can i do this with that? [03:52] ?

[03:54] thanks MNichie [03:54] #python [03:54] Kaizen: There are so many things online for building a computer. You should save the money and build it yourself. The actual building piece is fun and then the bug fixes (if you have any) are usually interesting. [03:54] sorry [03:54] mi3 do /join #python [03:54] SHOVELL: Yes (to where it is actually large enough to fit the logical partitions already in it). [03:54] yeah i got it [03:54] jordan, thanks [03:55] SHOVELL: Follow the tutorial. [03:55] Jordan_U, thanks ill try it [03:55] SHOVELL: You're welcome. [03:56] in bash whats the difference between if [[ ]] and the simple if statement? [03:56] Does anyone know how to install Steam (and the games) onto ubuntu without using wine? [03:57] is that "normal" that i see 'starting openssh' like 15 times during boot? [03:57] delinquentme: A lot, #bash can probably give you all the details. [03:57] atpa8a, signs point to no [03:58] that's what i'm thinking [03:59] did i miss something during the do-release-update?.. [04:00] is there a netinstall option for Precise ? [04:01] any one running 11.10, do you see 'Starting OpenSSH Server' more then once? [04:01] what is the best way to install rails on ubuntu 10.4 [04:01] during boot that is [04:01] freestanding: passenger [04:01] MNichie are you there?

[04:07] no whats that [04:07] any quick commands to reload shell environment [04:07] well help quick [04:07] MNichie I just don't know if I will find you again in an hour.... will you be here? [04:08] earthkin, still here [04:08] GASSYPOOTS: the link I gave you earlier [04:08] what am I looking for in this error log file? [04:08] freestanding: source ~/.bashrc will do it [04:08] i dont have it [04:08] GASSYPOOTS: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ [04:08] MNichie: what am I looking for in this error log file? [04:09] GASSYPOOTS: why ask for help so much, then IGNORE help when it's given [04:09] earthkin, Post your errors file to paste-bin or something similar. I can't tell what to look for beside an error... [04:09] ActionParsnip: thanks no wonder i was source ~/.bash_profile [04:09] and it was not working [04:09] Which version of wine would you recommend of I'm trying to use Steam and its games? [04:09] GASSYPOOTS: where is your head [04:09] SHOVELL: Try "sudo fixparts /dev/sda" [04:09] I can't - it's a different computer! [04:09] Lirth: check the appdb, see which is friendliest [04:09] Jordan_U, that is what i did [04:09] ActionParsnip: Or "PlayOnLinux"? [04:10] i already have a live usb [04:10] GASSYPOOTS: you are using tonnes of caps and flooding the channel, yet when someone actually gives you a link you don't see it [04:10] GASSYPOOTS: can you explain please? [04:10] Lirth: thats a gui but the backend doing the work is wine [04:10] MNichie: I can't - this is a different computer! [04:10] SHOVELL: Not according to your pastebin. [04:10] ActionParsnip: Ahh... [04:11] You can turn the keypad into a mouse with this [04:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/a11y-icon.html [04:11] ActionParsnip: When you say "friendliest", what do you mean? [04:11] You can tab to the icon [04:11] uhhh i need to uninstall [04:11] Lirth: the appdb shows what works and such, as well as the seam used [04:11] Lirth: and wine used [04:12] GASSYPOOTS: how did you install the OS? [04:12] live usb [04:12] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/rRBsZ0RM [04:13] Jordan_U, you are right [04:13] GASSYPOOTS: then delete the ubuntu partition and either resize the ntfs into the freed space or create a new partition for user data [04:13] GASSYPOOTS: you will need to reinstate teh windows boot loader as ubuntu overwrote the bootloader with grub [04:13] ActionParsnip: So when I found Steam in the list and looked at it, it showed "Wine Version 1.3.37". Does that mean I should get 1.3? Also, why would one version work better than another? Are the numbers not released linearly like the Ubuntu releases (10.04 -> 10.11 -> 11.04 -> 11.0) [04:14] so delete the ubuntu folder under /hp [04:14] ActionParsnip: at this point pretty sure it is a troll [04:14] GASSYPOOTS, this is a wubi install? [04:14] yep [04:14] cant access windows [04:14] MNichie: that wouldn't help me at all, as I would have to basically reboot to do that - no error file log to help me. Would it be worth it? I am taking a break for dinner now.... [04:15] i don't seem to find anything special one would have to do with release upgrades... yet i see *multiple* 'Startin OpenSSH Server'... [04:15] ubuntu 12 coming by september? [04:15] earthkin, why would you have to reboot? [04:15] Rurd2di, april [04:15] awsome [04:15] Rurd2di: assuming 12.04 its april [04:15] cant wait [04:16] yeah [04:16] how can i install rubygems? [04:16] GASSYPOOTS, i think this will do it http://packages.debian.org/sid/mbr [04:16] Jordan_U, should i use "test disk"? [04:17] O_O [04:17] apt-get install mbr [04:17] from linux to restore the MBR [04:17] scientes_, thats from debian packages [04:17] MNichie: oh, you're right, just exit the terminal. forgot [04:18] Rurd2di: You can look at the version number to tell it's release date. This blew my mind when I learned it. 12.04 means the twelfth year and the forth month (April 2012). 11.10 means eleventh year and tenth month (October 2011). If you already knew that, sorry. [04:18] can someone help me with zorin os [04:18] bazhang, this make you happy? http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/mbr [04:18] starcomputers_, check the zorin os support forums [04:19] i have no one is there to help [04:19] starcomputers_, it's not supported here [04:19] how is git referred to [04:19] uhh how's that supposted to help [04:19] im looking for a nice simple tutorial on how to SSH into a brand new machine / node without using a new RSA fingerprint each time [04:19] apt-get install git does not work [04:19] is there another name for it [04:19] i have virtualy no access to windows [04:20] like I've accepted probably 20 different ones now .. surely theres a way to push up one that I've used locally right? [04:20] freestanding, apt-get install git-rcs on old [04:20] hi there [04:20] Lirth: if you get wine 1.3 for your release it will work as well as it states in the appdb [04:20] *git-vcs [04:20] scientes_: thanks [04:20] Rurd2di: 12 is the year ;) [04:20] ^^^ freaky[t]_ === krish is now known as Guest83215 [04:20] i could not find my trash bin on my system [04:20] where to find it [04:20] how to install [04:21] Guest83215: open nautilus [04:21] !trash | Guest83215 [04:21] Guest83215: Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device.

After this operation, 139kB of additional disk space will be used. \n Do you want to continue [Y/n]? [04:22] i went with git-core [04:22] delinquentme: sudo apt-get -y upgrade etc [04:22] delinquentme: or you may need to use --force-yes [04:22] Is there a way for me to have the same center click to scroll from Windows in Ubuntu? [04:22] delinquentme: read: man apt-get [04:22] i guess ima have to play with the boot XD [04:23] greetings #ubuntu :) [04:23] mobius: greetings [04:23] GASSYPOOTS, i believe that package i linked you too restores the MSDOS MBR [04:24] wine is slow :D [04:24] however it might have been a differn't package which was dropped b/c of copyright considerations, if so you have to use the XP/whatever NT-windows recovery CD [04:24] GASSYPOOTS, that is not wine [04:24] I seem to be having difficulty locating my trash folder in ubuntu :p [04:24] and wine is not slow, and you seem awfully like a trol GASSYPOOTS [04:24] mobius: should show in the unity panel [04:24] kind of odd really... [04:24] kk thanks :) [04:24] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/rRBsZ0RM still get the issue and the program wont run [04:25] mobius, look in [04:25] GASSYPOOTS: I tried to help you earlier and you seemed to ignore me. You should work on reading responses and actually responding. [04:25] GASSYPOOTS: some games actually pull more frames under Wine [04:25] ^^^^^ [04:25] ActionParsnip, ==right [04:25] When using wine, how do I tell where the files are saving? I'm trying to install Steam and I can't figure out where it's actually going. Does it matter? [04:25] hi [04:25] ive been wondering that too... [04:26] so when i installed ubuntu, i guess I didn't install GRUB. [04:26] Lirth, its in .wine/drive_c/ [04:26] Lirth, its in ~/.wine/drive_c/ [04:26] Lirth: the things should get added top your system menus like normal apps. they are in stalled to ~/.wine/drive_c [04:26] scientes_: thanks [04:26] Then when I did an apt-get update & apt-get update, it complained. [04:26] Lirth, and in wine, drive Z is your root filesystem [04:26] jaimie_: what was the complaint [04:26] unless you configure otherwise Lirth [04:26] how do i get vimrc to make its config file again? [04:26] vim* to make its config file again [04:27] "You chose not to install GRUB to any devices. If you continue, the boot loader may not be properly configured, and when your computer next starts up it will use whatever was previously in the boot sector." [04:27] scientes_: I have no idea how to configure otherwise, so I'm all good. :) [04:27] It'as asking me Yes or No. TBH I don't get it because I didn't install GRUB. [04:27] you could copy the system vimrc from /etc [04:27] im getting "operation not supported" when i try to open trash [04:27] Lirth, winecfg [04:27] SHOVELL: Odd. It must be either very strange, very broken, or both, for even fixparts to complain and not handle it. [04:27] thats weird... [04:27] anyone feel like helping a bit? I'm terrified of a reboot :P [04:27] Jordan_U, but i am using it now? [04:27] scientes_: hear no evil... break no computer [04:28] SHOVELL: First you should backup any important data. [04:28] Lirth, well, when you work with wine you often have to fiddle with things for certain apps [04:29] SHOVELL: The linux kernel trends to be very forgiving of problems with partition table problems. [04:29] jaimie_: do you single boot? [04:29] yeah [04:29] so i thought no grub was ok. [04:29] Jordan_U, the other thing is that i can reboot just fine [04:30] i only want one link to download not 20 [04:30] it instablled grub, though. [04:30] GASSYPOOTS, for what [04:30] GASSYPOOTS, you obviously don't want help, go away [04:30] jaimie_: cool, you can always install grub using terminal [04:30] uninstalling ubuntu without windows [04:30] Is there a way to use a torrent to download my steam games faster WITHOUT pirating? For example, I bought TESV: Skyrim a while ago and would like to use it on this computer but I don't want to have to wait the several hours to download it. [04:30] "Setting up grub-common (1.98-1ubuntu13) ... Setting up grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu13) ..." [04:31] SHOVELL: I meed to leave soon. [04:31] Action: Thing is, why did it do that? [04:31] lol thanks for the help [04:31] i never asked it to. [04:31] GASSYPOOTS: delete the ubuntu partition in windows and either format the new space to make a new storage partition or resize the ntfs into the free space. You will then need to reinstall the windows boot loader [04:31] GASSYPOOTS: I can't phrase it any clearer [04:32] ActionParsnip: Should doing a "grub-update" suffice? [04:32] hi guys [04:32] :) [04:32] jaimie_: usually it's smooth, yeah try: sudo update-grub [04:32] I use google chrome but I don't like their built in [X] [--] [[]] (close, minimize, maximize) buttons. Is there a way to use the ubuntu ones instead? [04:32] update-grub, woops. ya. [04:33] this http://i.imgur.com/xS39w.png [04:33] the part my mouse was over [04:33] ActionParsnip: But what I don't get is why did my apt-get upgrade & update trigger the installation of grub? [04:33] or am i just a tard and missing something? [04:33] ActionParsnip: I would recommend highly reinstalling an MS style mbr before removing Ubuntu's partitions. [04:33] ... [04:34] and whats that [04:34] GASSYPOOTS, your browser links to "Troll Science" go away [04:34] I don't know if it'll work prefect but have you guys tried google plus hang out rooms? [04:34] meh its funny [04:34] Lirth: goolges chrome has a right click nenu item to use system decorations [04:35] but for real this isnt about bookmaks [04:35] Jordan_U: I gues [04:35] dr_willis:Where would that be? [04:35] so just delete the ubuntu folder? [04:35] I am right now in a video conference with 7 other people with it! [04:35] :D [04:35] Lirth: right click the top bar, its there [04:35] using ubuntu! [04:35] :D [04:35] *lubuntu [04:35] mattwj2002: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:35] Lirth: under the right click menus on the title i belivw [04:36] lol [04:36] mattwj2002: nice :) using what app? [04:36] ActionParsnip, dr_willis: I feel dumb now. Thanks [04:36] chrome and a browser plugin [04:36] mbr repair help anyone? [04:36] I don't have video or voice but I don't have a webcam and I need to buy a mic and headset [04:37] Lirth: its all learning, so its cool B) [04:37] !fixgrub [04:37] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[04:37] wikipedia has good info on hard drive partitions [04:37] I wanna customize vimrc but idk how to make one from scratch [04:37] varatep: use your backups [04:37] ActionParsnip: what backups? there are none [04:38] Lirth: hehe, you learn little bits like that as you go [04:38] varatep: copy the one from /etc/ [04:38] dr_willis: I deleted that one [04:38] dr_willis: LOOOOL [04:38] varatep: why? [04:38] varatep: i suggest you add your config to your backup schedule [04:38] dr_willis: I was trying to customize and I got frustrated with not being able to save with gedit so i just deleted it === yakko is now known as yakko_focusing [04:39] hi all [04:39] varatep: reinstall the vim package i guess.. and a user edits theur iwn configs. not the system configs [04:39] so do i just delete that folder or do i haz to search for the partition [04:40] not sure how gedit matters with vimrc..... [04:41] how do i see all of the different vims i have?

[04:52] Reboot and pray? [04:52] cyber_: maximum pc just did an 8 core build if you want to check it out. [04:52] I'm just not sure why it forced me to install grub.

[04:56] cyber_: I just started reading the website and magazine and they have a ton of useful information. It's mostly for Windows becasue that's the majority of computer users, but they do mention linux pieces and almost always cover hardware. [04:57] Evening/morn folks, Can someone point me to a good know fix for the Busybox,initramfs boot issue? Been at this for a week with no luck. [04:57] help!!!!! http://pastebin.com/PywC6r4A [04:57] Wow, AMD is fabless now? [04:57] !details | GEEMac [04:57] GEEMac: 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 ..." [04:57] jaimie_: fabless? [04:58] they don't make any CPUs [04:58] just design [04:58] that's pretty risky [04:58] no wafers. [04:58] jaimie_: how is this ubuntu support related? [04:58] What does this mean: Cannot source a directory: "$HOME/.vimrc" [04:59] varatep, it is trying to load that file and cannot [04:59] Action: Someone mentioned AMD up there. [04:59] I haven't looked at AMD in awhile. [04:59] (re bulldozer) [04:59] escott: How do I enable it to load the file? I made a .vimrc folder and a vimrc file in that folder [04:59] hello. i want to change my partitions but before i want to backup mbr - s this is good idea? [04:59] go8765 couldn't hurt - [05:00] jaimie_, ActionParsnip: cyber_ was asking about using it for a linux build. [05:00] varatep, and you are seeing this wehn you start vim? [05:00] escott: Yes. [05:00] I'm running Ubuntu version11.10, I have a problem with booting, I boot to busybox v1.18.4 and stop at initramfs. [05:00] varatep, sorry im slow .vimrc is supposed to be a file not a directory [05:00] escott: oh so i don't make the directory? its just .vimrc in my home folder? [05:00] Anybody able to help me out with my PulseAudio problem? [05:01] Miggs: whats the issue? [05:01] What does it mean for Linux gaming if nvidia joined the Linux Foundation?

Yet the laptop cannot see the server's sinks. Not even in avahi-discover. The server can see it's own sinks in avahi-discover though. Any suggestions? [05:01] !cookie | ActionParsnip [05:01] ActionParsnip: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [05:01] varatep, yes usually if it is supposed to be a directory it will be something like .program or .program.d but .programrc is always a single file [05:01] escott: .vim is afolder though correct? [05:01] Yes, all the cookies to ActionParsnip! [05:02] CFHowlett: i need to load from my life cd to make sfdisk -d /dev/sda1 > backup-sda1.sf [05:02] or its not necessary? [05:02] where to put downloaded plasma themes? [05:02] Miggs: I'm new to servers. What does headless mean? [05:02] Lirth, it's lacking a monitor. [05:02] escott: Where do I put the custom color.vim's? i made a .vim/colors folder in the home directory. [05:02] Miggs: Cool. That makes a lot of sense, thanks. [05:02] go8765 you mean to back up the mbr? wait 1 [05:02] It just sits on the shelf and I only make it do things over ssh. [05:02] GEEMac, and have you verified the uuid in fstab with that from blkid [05:02] varatep, .vim/colors [05:02] CFHowlett: yes. ok [05:03] il be wait [05:03] escott: Is that right though? I made a .vim/colors/ in the home directory [05:03] It's not completely headless since I do run XBMC on it but for all intensive porpoises it's close enough. [05:03] escott: it didn't have that .vim folder so i made it myself [05:03] varatep, thats absolutely correct [05:03] go8765 see [05:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6828965&postcount=2 === Dark is now known as Guest66348 [05:05] franz_: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=82905 [05:05] CFHowlett: hm.. thanks. so i need life cd to do this or not? [05:05] go8765 fwiw: last time I changed my mbr partitions, I had to reinstall grub and perform the windows repair. It seems editing the parts changed the uuid's and thus restoring MBR didn't work. [05:05] go8765 yes live cd or a gparted cd [05:06] aloha all [05:06] ActionParsnip, nothing comes to mind? [05:06] escott, I have no clue where to look for the uuid, this is a dual boot that was installed via wubi on a Windows 7 64bit system. It was fine until I did an update and since then it stops at the Busybox/initramfs prompt. [05:06] greetings curiousx [05:07] uuid? maybe blkid command? [05:07] GEEMac, well lets start with by running "blkid" and comparing the output of that to the ouput of cat /etc/fstab [05:07] sudo blkid [05:07] Searching the net shows that this is a known issue after an update. Non of the little detailed fixes worked. [05:07] aloha CFHowlett thx [05:08] CFHowlett: hm... another question - where is right variant ? http://www.opennet.ru/tips/info/786.shtml or http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6828965&postcount=2 [05:08] GEEMac, it might be an issue with wubi. i usually recommend using anything but wubi [05:08] Escott that is going to be a bit tough at the moment since I am rendering some video and it is on this system. [05:08] <[[thufir]]> anyone know how to use dar with cdrwtools? I don't know the syntax [05:09] Help? When trying to install gkrellm in 11, it wants to remove my entire gnome dte?! Isn't gkrellm 'gnome-philic'? [05:09] me to, i dislike wubi === freestanding is now known as Bboy [05:10] I did try the blkid and the cat/etc/fstab and it stated that it was not a command or it just sat there with no cursor. [05:10] go8765 try em both. check your usb to see which one works. [05:10] GEEMac, "cat /etc/fstab" [05:10] that was something I tried earlier on when the isssue started. [05:11] GEEMac, are you sure you are in the initramfs? what makes you confident that is the case [05:12] Help? When trying to install gkrellm in 11, it wants to remove my entire gnome dte?! Isn't gkrellm 'gnome-philic'? [05:14] I was at the intiramfs prompt and I could do a Help and get the commands. that's as far as I could get. I will have to wait until this rendering is don and drop out of here to reboot this system. Is there any working information on a webpage tha I can print out here? I have spent a week trying all sorts of posts and no luck. [05:14] kenro: are there any bugs reported? [05:14] Seems to me conspi [05:14] oops miskey [05:14] kenro, ubuntu-desktop package? [05:14] GEEMac, how do you know its an initramfs prompt? there are other prompts in the boot process [05:15] ActionParsnip: Actually, never thought it could be a bug, as I've had repo configure problems as well... [05:16] any ubuntu tv people in here? [05:16] Bercause it states intiramfs just above the prompt and the commands that can be listed are those used for intiramfs. Apparently this is something posted all over the net with no working fix. [05:16] kenro, what packages? ubuntu-desktop? [05:17] hot_wheelz, try #ubuntu-tv [05:17] bazhang: Say what? All I know is it's the package listed with synaptic. Simply, gkrellm. perhaps you ask if I'm using ubuntu... yeah. [05:17] Just above the intiramfs is the Busybox info. then it stops right at the intiramfs prompt. [05:17] bazhang thanks [05:18] kenro, ubuntu-desktop is perfectly safe to remove, its a meta package [05:18] kenro, it does NOT remove the GNOME DE [05:19] bazhang: Ah right, transitional pkg? I know this. I also know synaptic wants to remove gnome, replace with a couple random kde libs. [05:20] kenro, if you'd care to pastebin the list we can take a look at it [05:20] I guess I will have to wait until much later to try the Cat.... I probably have another 2-3 hrs of rendering of this very long video project. [05:21] straub: /exit [05:22] bazhang: Could be related to (yet unresolved) repo misconfig? gpg keys, et al...? Synaptic wants to remove gnome, but apt says 'deps unresolvable... [05:22] All I can say is that the Wubi install went fine and worked for a few months until I did the usual update and that was it for the boot up after that. [05:23] bazhang: I'll pastebin my sources.list? [05:24] Sorry Escott, I can't get any mor detailed than that. I am just an end user of Ubuntu. [05:24] ? [05:24] kenro, the package list when you try to install gkrellm would be better [05:24] okie [05:24] why do people use windows managers? [05:24] GEEMac, if its some wubi specific issue i wont be able to say what to do [05:24] b/c they can? [05:24] I tried it, but it seems like it makes things difficult [05:24] No shortcut keys [05:25] msg ubttu hello [05:25] GEEMac per the wubi staff, it's a testing platform, not a long-term installation solution ... [05:25] hey, I'm having a problem getting VLC to play aMKv file. It plays sound but the video is all green. [05:26] Well All I know is that it went smooth and worked for a while with not one issue. It was a update while in Ubuntu that killed it, it was well past the wubi install. === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity [05:26] are there any plugins to help this? [05:26] GEEMac time to upgrade to a dual boot then? [05:27] igor_: http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu [05:27] bazhang: Paste from kenro at Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:26:15 +0100 does this have what you need to find the paste? [05:27] the screen is not tintnted. its solid green , no video at all [05:27] Apparently it is not a Wubi issue since a full week of reading the posts, it is an issue with all the installs after a certain update which I do not know what item in the update caused it. [05:28] kenro, pastebin link? [05:28] igor_: try a different output method. x11 works well in most cases [05:28] CF it is a dual boot. === yakko_focusing is now known as yakko [05:28] GEEMac noted... [05:28] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/877060/ ? [05:29] I do not run it from windows, I have to boot the computerand run it from the grub menu. [05:29] so deja-dup -- ubuntu's official backup tool -- can only do TWO incremental backups, then it's back to a full backup??? [05:29] still no go [05:29] kenro: can you give the output of: apt-cache policy gkrellm; lsb_release -a thanks [05:29] igor_: is it the same in all players? [05:29] no [05:30] kenro, what about installing those depends first? [05:30] other players the audio is way outta sync [05:30] what utter crap. [05:30] or they crash [05:30] mosno: why is it the official one? [05:30] salut [05:30] ActionParsnip, it's the one that comes with 11.10 [05:30] mosno: there are plenty of backup tools in the repos [05:30] ActionParsnip, it's the one that runs a service by default [05:30] mosno: so, doesn't mean anything [05:30] mosno, use something different then [05:30] ActionParsnip, sounds pretty official to me [05:30] mosno deja-dup is not an ubuntu/canonical product [05:31] bah [05:31] mosno: there is no official anything [05:31] mosno, this is not channel rant [05:31] but why is it doing a full? [05:31] >test [05:31] i always thought VLC was the best, could play anything [05:31] can someone help me out with the fonts [05:31] mosno: its just default installed, nothing more, nothing less [05:31] mosno, support here, ask if you need some === DarkLord is now known as Sudo [05:31] bazhang, i rather keep using it and fix the problem, i'm researching now === Sudo is now known as Sud0 [05:31] igor_ wrong codecs = no play. [05:31] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/877072/ [05:31] bazhang, do you know how to make it work properly? [05:31] ie. indefinite incrementals/ [05:31] CF, If I think I followed the background of Wubi correctly, all it is is a way to install Ubuntu to a partition on your drive while you are in windows. I guess you can say it is a lasy way of doing the dule boot install... lol === Sud0 is now known as Saw === Saw is now known as BBM [05:31] web pages are all weird with ubuntu's fonts === BBM is now known as BigBadMike [05:32] imrobert: in all browsers? [05:32] mosno, I dont use it, is it important to use that one tool? why not sbackup rsync backintime or something else [05:32] is anyone on what.cd? [05:32] imrobert, install the msft truetype fonts package part of restricted-extras [05:32] i have installed the restricted stuff too [05:32] i need some help with my torrent client [05:32] ActionParsnip, yes [05:32] because a) i've already started using it, and b) it is the DEFAULT tool that comes with this OS [05:32] ygukhi: shoot [05:32] igor_: nvidia or ati ? [05:33] ie. it should theoretically work better than the rest and/or have better integration [05:33] GEEMac lots of wubi's get broken due to update - most famously, the great grub2 migration. dual boot is more stable. I reiterate: wubi is for trying ubuntu - not long-term use of ubuntu. [05:33] nvidia [05:33] ActionParsnip, the text almost looks blurry [05:33] mosno, so install something else [05:33] what is the driver version ? [05:33] does anyone know how to make deja-dup do more than 2 incremental backups? [05:33] mosno, we are just supporters, ranting wont change whats on the cd install [05:33] i need a version of a torrent client that lets me download files from what.cd [05:33] mosno: I have never had a single success with brasero and always advise folks try xfburn when brasero fails to deliver and they say xfburn works. [05:33] im using vuze and its not letting me use the tracker [05:33] bazhang, that's true [05:34] bazhang, i'm just upset [05:34] i believe 280 , how do i chaeck [05:34] Iff you Google Busybox intiramfs you will get a ton of hits on it and so far non of the fixes worked yet. Guess it's back to a re-install and hrs of tweaking again. [05:34] connect TO the tracker [05:34] kenro, try installing the depends, first [05:34] igor_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ; sudo apt-get update [05:34] ActionParsnip, strange, i had brasero fail in debian but work in ubuntu for burning mp3s to audio cd [05:34] And ..... not updating the install when it is working... [05:35] it will install 295 wich is better than 280 [05:35] bazhang: Did. It will install gkrellm first. Falling back into the errors. [05:35] i ran into some cooler troubles with 280 [05:35] kenro, you have kde4 installed as well? sounds like a bug [05:35] i [05:35] need a new theme [05:35] ygukhi, then install one [05:35] should i retstart?

You MUST unmount the floppy before ejecting it [06:17] CFHowlett: I believe so, although I don't know of any means to verifying that. When I do play it back it seems to run at a higher speed than the source video I extracted the frames from. [06:18] means of verifying that* [06:18] Halexander9000 according to the following, you missed an element "-f".

[06:27] Guido1: in 'printers' tab of systems-admin you can turn that option on [06:27] I saw someone say there's something better than WINE, but not sure what.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [07:30] waxstone: yes, im there [07:30] diverdude, add near quiet splash [07:30] !cookie | shovell [07:30] SHOVELL, please see my private message [07:31] noquiet nosplash nomodeset nofb text options turns off most all the eyecandy [07:31] !cookie | DocPlatypus [07:31] DocPlatypus, please see my private message [07:32] !msgthebot [07:32] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[07:32] also seen options to block specific modules from loading [07:32] oh geeze, what did i start! [07:32] diver crtl-X to boot [07:32] i was making a self-congratulatory joke [07:32] diverdude, press crtl-x to boot [07:33] :) [07:33] diverdude, saves automatically I believe through grub menu [07:34] altering grub at boot does NOT save it permently [07:34] after changing a grub setting you have to run update-grub [07:34] edit the grub configs for perm. changes [07:34] if you change FROM grub, then it actually does same it [07:34] but not on btrfs [07:34] *does save it [07:34] dr_willis: +1 /etc/default/grub for most stuff, and "sudo update-grub" if you make any changes [07:35] ive never seen grub menu alter the grub.cfg scientes_ that could be dangerous [07:35] dr_willis, well, its "save_end" [07:35] test, hi to all [07:35] i ran into it cause it causes a error on boot with btrfs, cause its not supported [07:35] dr_willis, however grub DOES change the fs on boot [07:35] i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table [07:36] dr_willis, oh thanks, so should he edit /etc/default/grub/grub after? [07:36] scientes_: btrfs makes no sense [07:37] waxstone: /etc/default/grub [07:37] k [07:39] bbl [07:39] hello there [07:40] zykotick9, what do you mean? [07:40] i'm trying to free up some space on my disk [07:40] what are some big packages i could uninstall? [07:40] scientes_: sorry. i should keep my "opinions" to myself. run whatever you want :) [07:40] just to clarify, grub works on btrfs [07:40] hahaha, it was nice to have a snapshot for my upgrade to precise [07:40] scientes_, what are btrfs? [07:40] however i do know that btrfs isn't as fast [07:41] !btrfs | waxstone [07:41] waxstone: Btrfs is a new filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is currently marked as experimental, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs [07:41] eeek! [07:41] well, that didn't meantion any of the features you get with COW === mikester01 is now known as mikester01|AFK [07:43] zfs is super cool (it's almost like Windows System Restore) but running it on gnu/linux is silly, it's run using FUSE (though there is some other option as well), but it can't be included in the linux kernel due to licensing (which is unfortunate) [07:43] zykotick9, you like zfs, but not btrfs! wow [07:43] scientes_: it's super cool on the *bsd and opensolaris [07:45] ls [07:45] haha wrong window [07:46] waxstone: i tried adding the nomodeset and press ctrl-X but same problem [07:46] waxstone: when i enter that file again my changes are not there [07:47] diverdude, ok 1 second [07:48] diverdude, do you have a live cd? [07:48] i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table is it possible to fix this with out re installing? [07:48] diverdude: do you have an option for recovery? does it work? if so, edit /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" [07:48] waxstone: i can make one [07:49] zykotick9: yeah i have that..moment ill try [07:49] diverdude, it would help, then follow what zykotick9 said [07:49] diverdude, make GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" [07:49] waxstone: what i said WON'T work from a LiveCD/USB! [07:50] zykotick9, you cant mount a drive from live cd? [07:50] waxstone: but chroot is required! [07:50] zykotick9, actually it will if you properly chroot [07:50] haha [07:50] diverdude, are you comfortable with using the terminal? [07:51] or you can also use grub-install --boot-directory however update-grub doesn't support that [07:51] (however it should) [07:51] zykotick9: /etc/default/grub is just an empty file? [07:51] diverdude: that's not the right /etc/defult/grub then! [07:52] diverdude, you havn't chrooted then [07:52] diverdude, definitely shouldnot be [07:52] diverdude, how do you knwo it is empty? [07:52] Searching for some help with gmount issue [07:52] Is 12.04 going to be a LTS ? [07:52] what package have the "udevinfo" binary? [07:52] Tanzink: yes [07:52] Tanzink: #ubuntu+1 for discussion [07:53] c-n-f doesn't seem to be working [07:53] waxstone: well i do sudo emacs /etc/default/grub and nothing is in the file for me to edit [07:53] ahh if i cat it, it has content [07:53] diverdude, make GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" [07:53] zykotick9: So there is absoulty no reason to install the LTS version if I'm going to do a fresh install it seems.. [07:53] waxstone: but why cant i edit it with emacs then [07:54] ok...nano can do it [07:54] Tanzink: not sure what you meant. BUT, no reason to install BETA unless you want to fight issues and report bugs. [07:54] now i cant make new logical partitions [07:54] hmm but no write permission even though i did sudo??? [07:54] diverdude, after edit, sudo update-grub [07:55] Tanzink: FYI 12.04 will be 5 years support desktop - that's crazy [07:55] zykotick9: nobody said anything about BETA software. I said no reason to install the (stable) LTS version(s) of *buntu seeing as the next release is going to want an update anyway (LTS -> LTS) [07:55] waxstone: but i cannot edit it...it has read only [07:55] diverdude, how did you get to the terminal? [07:55] Tanzink: sorry, i wasn't sure what you meant [07:56] waxstone: in grub menu choose recovery mode [07:56] i'm having a heck of a time trying to get usb tethering working under ubuntu desktop? (11.10) [07:57] google seems to show that there may be specfic problems with the epic 4g [07:57] but i can barely manage to surf, can anyone point me in the right direction? [07:57] Can he edit from recovery or only form a tty terminal [07:58] waxstone: hmm also i cannot do sudo -s [07:58] diverdude, I would exit recovery mode [07:58] waxstone: it just remains in my bdi user shell [07:59] diverdude: is the filesystem read only (ro)? type "mount" to check. [07:59] diverdude, reboot , hold shift, highlight recovery,press e , edit kernal line replace recovery with text [07:59] diverdude, u will get a terminal [08:00] zykotick9: hmm it prints a lot of stuff when i try that...what wil indicate read only? [08:00] diverdude: ro on left side somewhere [08:00] diverdude: right side [08:01] diverdude: look for the / directory most likely [08:01] zykotick9: it does say in the bottom: mount: warning: /etc/mtab is not writeable (e.g. read-only filesystem), ... [08:02] mount [08:02] ? [08:02] diverdude: i'm guessing your on a read only filesystem :( might be possible to remount to read/write - but i'm not 100% sure how, so perhaps using the !grub chroot instructions is my "tried and tested" suggestion. [08:03] diverdude: from a livecd/usb i mean [08:05] i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table is it possible to fix this with out re installing? [08:06] zykotick9: ahh i managed to make it writeable [08:06] diverdude: nice [08:07] diverdude, what did you do? === marco is now known as Guest40223 === Guest40223 is now known as marco82 [08:08] there was an option in that recovery mode that where i could remount with write permissions hehe [08:09] nice [08:09] now i tried changing that nomodeset and did sudo update-grub [08:09] and now rebboting [08:09] how gnome shell without hardware accelerator? [08:10] now it writes more stuff to the screen...but still just hangs at checking battery state :( [08:10] marco82: don't think it's possible, yet. (there is a testing implementation in the wild i believe) [08:11] diverdude, how many harddrives do you have? [08:11] waxstone: just 1 [08:12] ok tnk [08:12] i have 1 more then I dk, get back to the grub menu and press e on the first option [08:13] diverdude: this is a portable i assume? you might want to try noacpi and/or noapic but those are 100% shots in the dark - but might be interesting for testing purposes [08:13] zykotick9: no...its the one thats built into my laptop [08:14] diverdude: by portable i meant netbook/laptop/etc [08:14] file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash nomoderset -- [08:14] you kernal line should look as above [08:14] nomodeset sorry [08:14] waxstone: modeRset [08:14] if its for any useful info for you it says Message: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory [08:15] that is after checking battery message?

My computer behaves strange, in the way that it lowers brightness sometimes when I switch to TTYs (Ctrl-Alt-Fn) or sometimes even when I move or resize windows on the Gnome-desktop. A friend suggested to disable Xorg power management functions but didn't say how. Does anybody know where I can find them? I already disabled the power management function I can access via the Gnome (GUI) preferences. [08:18] i dk what that means... diverdude [08:18] diverdude, is this a new install? [08:18] Mrokii: is this an EEEpc? [08:18] waxstone: no unfortunately....if it was i could just wipe the damn thing and reinstall [08:19] sis you have a LAMP server or mysql on it?

[08:27] the one you like [08:27] gr33n7007h: use what you want [08:28] gr33n7007h: What's better "Green\Blue\Orange" ? [08:28] orange [08:28] zykotick9: hot pink [08:29] the one you like [08:29] Gnome of course [08:29] :) [08:29] knomebox [08:30] Say a Live CD of your choice is Fluxbox, based on debian/ubuntu how can you change it to gnome/kde ? [08:30] gr33n7007h: only Ubuntu is supported in #ubuntu [08:30] gr33n7007h: use a live cd that has what you want [08:30] gr33n7007h: Try them all. Gnome is somewhat unnatural, it is hard to get used to. KDE is Windows-like. XFCE feels similar to Gnome2 (like the old, pre-Natty Ubuntu desktops). *box'es are pretty confusing at first, but WAY lightweight. LXDE is also Windows-like, but whereas KDE feels like, say, Windows 7 (with a load more features), LXDE feels like Windows 95 xD [08:31] hey there. is there such thing as a 'universal' (cross compatible) filesystem that can accommodate files over 4 GiB? i'd use fat32 if not for the 4GB file-size limit. [08:31] bc81: ntfs [08:31] theadmin: other than ntfs? :) [08:32] Yes, but the live CD I want is Fluxbox which i dont really like, just wondering if I could change it to gnome [08:32] bc81: None really [08:32] theadmin: that was pretty good overall, my personal preference would have tainted a few remarks [08:32] gr33n7007h: You probably can, but none of the official Ubuntu CDs come with Flux [08:32] theadmin: ok, just wondering. thanks [08:32] zykotick9: What was pretty good? [08:32] theadmin: your DE/WM breakdown above [08:33] gr33n7007h, yes and no. the cd contains the fluxbox files so it will install fluxbox. but after that you can install gnome/kde/xfce/lxde whatewer you like [08:33] zykotick9: Ah lol, it's not exactly correct though [08:33] right ok so I can install Gnome [08:34] Let me just check in #debian one minute! === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu-whysuch [08:43] hey [08:44] hey [08:44] Hello, metl_chic and velko. [08:45] hey! === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [08:46] How do I make sun-java6 the default java instead of the openjdk one? [08:51] jsoft, this might help you http://microchip.wikidot.com/mplab:how-do-i-install-and-use-sun-java6-jre-instead-of-open [08:51] okay... is there a setting I can set somewhere that says I never, ever, ever want this multiarch junk on my system? that's twice I've had to clean up after Ubuntu's brain-dead upgrade procedure now. === EgyParadox_ is now known as EgyParadox === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234_ [08:53] DocPlatypus, i don't think so. you can set packages to "hold" and this will keep them in the currently installed version. but you cannot set to hold packages which are not installed. besides multiarch seems to be the next big thing in debian so they are pushing actively in this direction [08:54] velko: I don't see what's so good about it. I've come dangerously close to hosing my system beyond repair because of it, because aptitude does not make it the least bit easy to see what's i386 and what's amd64 [08:55] it just shows two of the same package. if I could hide all the i386 turds by default I wouldn't mind it as much, though I still strongly prefer all amd64 packages (unless I'm missing something regarding a reason why i386 packages *need* to be available) [08:55] DocPlatypus: using skype or 32bit flash? [08:55] DocPlatypus: multiarch is very much still in development! dpkg multiarch JUST entered debian upsteam a couple of weeks ago! keep in mind dpkg is what apt-get actually uses to install stuff. [08:56] auronandace: no skype. I prefer the 64-bit flash, since I'm on a 64-bit system it just makes sense. [08:56] DocPlatypus: or wine? [08:56] auronandace: the only wine I use here is the kind made from grapes. and technically I'm more of a bourbon man :-) [08:56] hello [08:57] DocPlatypus: i can't think of much else that would need 32bit libs/compatibility [08:57] that's the whole reason I run GNU variants and free software... if I wanted to run Windows programs, I'd go buy a PC with Windows on it. [08:57] as it stands... I was burned horribly by Microsoft in 2000-2002. so I'm done with Windows. [08:58] <[[thufir]]> how do you pipe dar to a CDRW? I'm out of space. [08:58] i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table is it possible to fix this with out re installing? [08:59] [[thufir]]: I'd just delete something about 700 megs in size and/or use a USB thumb drive [08:59] I think technically you can pipe the output to wodim but it'll burn the raw data to the disc, not a nice CDRW you can just mount and view [09:00] <[[thufir]]> I have 700 MB free, but need to back up ~20 GB onto disc. === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [09:00] <[[thufir]]> I'll check out wodim [09:00] [[thufir]]: my 24-hour grocery store sells 16 GB thumb drives for under $25. [09:01] <[[thufir]]> huh, that's a thought. [09:01] that's US$, not sure what country you're in [09:01] <[[thufir]]> no, that's ok. I would just probably do the morally questionable cc purchas and return, but... [09:02] <[[thufir]]> or iPod type thing. hmm. [09:03] DocPlatypus: the real question is are they slow or fast usb thumb drives? === petr is now known as Guest36911 [09:03] hello [09:03] airtonix: any drive is fast enough if I'm just doing a one-shot backup. I tolerated USB 1.1 on my old machine for a good 2-3 years [09:04] Does anyone know of a way to take 6 channels of audio in a video and compact it into 2 channel mp3? [09:04] I can't imagine anything equal or larger than 4 GB being that slow [09:04] * [[thufir]] agrees with DocPlatypus. [09:05] <[[thufir]]> I really wanted to use up all the ancient CDR's I have, though. [09:05] DocPlatypus: i have two sets of usb thumbdrives i happend use for liveusb installs, the cheaper ones are noticeably slower.. adding about extra 5mins installation per installation session [09:08] hello all [09:08] ubuntu boots very slow [09:08] it hangs on ohci usb 1.1. [09:08] how to fix that? [09:08] I want like 3 min to start up [09:08] 8wait [09:08] *wait [09:11] monser, do you have any usb devices plugged into the computer while it boots? you may try to booth without them and see if there is any difference [09:13] Hello. I have just sent a file via bluetooth from a Windows XP machine to my Ubuntu machine. However I have no idea where the file is now. Can someone point me in the right direction to see where Ubuntu saved the file? [09:13] is it possible to see inotify on the terminal [09:14] Ascavasaion: check your home folder, i think there is a public folder [09:15] auronandace: No, it is not in my home Public folder. [09:16] yes i do have [09:16] Ascavasaion, isn't it better to right click the bluetooth icon and look up the preferences for the place it uses to store the files? i don't have bt on this computer so i cant click you trough [09:16] its a external hard disk plugged with usb to ide/ sata cable [09:16] if i remove it there is not difference [09:16] I tried [09:16] I mean if I unplug it [09:17] monser, it sill hangs on "ohci usb 1.1"? why? [09:17] monser, are your mouse, webcam, keyboard... connected via usb? [09:18] My system went crazy. All apps are giving errors like "failed to contact configuration server" and something about d-bus, how can I fix everything? [09:18] velko: That worked, thank you :) [09:18] velko: no no such devices are connected [09:18] is there a way to disble this ohci 1.1 [09:18] the usb are 2.0 [09:19] hello [09:19] monser, you can blacklist the driver in /etc/modporobe.d/ [09:20] where is the Debian package db (one retrived with dpkg -l) stored? [09:21] how to modprobe.d is a directory [09:21] how to blacklist it in a directory? [09:21] ws, dpkg -l does not retrieve anythong [09:21] i got a problem with flash and my usb headset, the sound is klicking even when the flash vid is pauzed, the odd thing is the clicking stops when i drag a random window of the flash vid or when i switch tabs in the browser anyone know tis problem? [09:21] monser, you don't of course [09:21] monser, you first find out the exact name of the dirver via "sudo lsmod | grep ohci" [09:21] could you be more specific , please [09:22] velko: the list of packages (binary or text) in a file? [09:22] what ever audio engine you are using, it has a priority comparable to flash, but flash is using up all cpu power [09:22] monser, then you pick a file in this directory and look for a line starting with "blacklist" - duplicate it and replace the name of the driver with the one you found out before [09:23] velko: he has to copy the file to a new name before doing that. [09:23] cheako, i don't understand what do you mean? [09:23] cheako, sorry [09:24] he shouldn't be editing files that are already there. [09:24] cheater, i don't understand what do you mean? [09:24] cheater, why not? [09:24] that command does not show the driver [09:24] because it is bad practice. [09:25] only these ohci1394 ieee1394 [09:25] monser, the ones containing ohci in the name will do [09:25] monser, just mark their names and blacklist them [09:26] monser, i don't know about ieee1394. don't blacklist it [09:28] anyone? [09:28] Hello, does anyone knows if there exists a ppa for nautilus ? [09:30] ws, i don't know about which file you are talking. but it might help to lookup the files in /var/lib/dpkg [09:30] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa [09:30] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:30] nautilus -q #restarts nautilus [09:31] ws, dpkg -L [09:32] Haferstroh: please not that PPA's are 3rd party repositories and not supported! [09:32] true [09:34] oCean, is noted, but I got two really annoying bugs (I suppose these are bugs). First I cannot use the "send to" Dialog in nautilus e.g. if I want to send a file directly to evolution. Second is: if I plug in a USB device and open it in nautilus and while the window is open I unmount the device, nautilus shuts down [09:35] !bug | Haferstroh [09:35] Haferstroh: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [09:36] iceroot, ubottu I acutally did send it via launchpad. But maybe in a newer Version of nautilus these Problems are fixed. [09:37] Haferstroh: then you will get an info on that bug [09:37] Haferstroh: but its great that you filled the bugs, its always the best way to report issues and to get things fixed [09:38] iceroot is there a "last version" ppa of nautilus or not ? [09:39] Haferstroh: no [09:39] okay [09:39] Haferstroh: you could have a look at 12.04 if it is fixed there [09:40] Haferstroh: or ask in #ubuntu+1 if someone can reproduce your bugs on 12.04 [09:40] Haferstroh: I don't think a ppa version of nautilus would correct your issues [09:40] iceroot I'll check it out via VBox. I am using gnome-shell maybe its a gnome3 issue ? [09:40] Haferstroh: but installing newer main-components is not a good idea in an older system [09:40] Haferstroh: have you ran nautilus from terminal to see the what's what or looked at the logs? [09:41] I dont think, that my hardware it that old [09:41] Haferstroh: the vm solution is a good idea [09:41] Haferstroh: older system = older ubuntu release [09:41] Haferstroh: not related to hardware [09:41] the terminal gives no output after nautilus closes down [09:41] Duality, Flash is a general PITA as well as the the linux audio system.

[11:49] I wantn to get the system to stop mounting the first usb drive I plug in at / [11:50] at / ? / is the root of your installed system. [11:50] a usb drive should get mounted to some /media/nameornumber [11:50] I know, and thats where its ounting it. Have a line in mtab telling it to. [11:51] I dont even see how thats possible. its fstab that tells where things mount also.. [11:51] fstab has a line that tells it to miount at root also. [11:51] when you boot the system / is mounted allready. Plugging in a usb shouldent be remounting / to it. that would mostliuley crash the system idmeiatly [11:52] I dunno, thats why I came here. [11:52] perhaps a clean reboot and a pastebin of your /etc/fstab /etc/mtab and mount command output [11:53] When setting up an SMB share, as secured here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileprint-security.html I am unable to login from Windows 7. I am given a login prompt that asks for a login, if I use my credentials it defaults to using WINDOWS\user and the login fails. I've tried SERVER\user and that also fails. [11:53] Rebooted three times in the last 30 min. [11:54] then pastebin the same files/info after inserting a usb. [11:54] Lemme reboit again, gonna try another e3dit. [11:59] Ok, that solved it. [11:59] hola? [12:00] Veovis_Muaddib: I guess removing security is not an option? maybe replace with only allow certain ip addresses to access fileshareing [12:01] /dev/sdb1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 That line was in fstab, and was causing all my issues. [12:02] Veovis_Muaddib: I was surprized to even get file shareing working at all with window 7 about a week ago (no security) [12:02] daughain: That's why you always use UUID or LABEL [12:02] sacarlson: Yeah, removing is not going to fly. :P It's not meant to dissuade someone cracking in, just make sure users can't read each other's documents [12:02] sacarlson: Yeah. [12:03] why would you even be editing the / entry in your fstab? [12:03] geirha, Errr....That has been there since I installed. That came from the mint install I did. [12:03] sacarlson: I can get it working fine with no security, but usually I have trouble with securing it. I got it to work a few months ago and was bragging to other techies I know :P But set up a new server and now it doesn't work [12:03] last i used mint - it used uuid type nameing in the fstab. [12:03] example line... [12:04] # / was on /dev/sda6 during installation [12:04] UUID=422a7921-679c-4a7b-8d24-6b01e5795c65 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [12:04] Dunno. Did a fresh i8nstall on a newly formatted drive using mint. Thats been there the whole time. [12:04] Veovis_Muaddib: how about file share over ssh , that should also work on windows 7, maybe easier to setup security with thta [12:04] dr_willis: uuid looks ugly though, I want my fstab to look cute so I use labels. That's just me, there might be other cases. [12:04] determind the UUID of / and put it in there... if you are using mint, you should be asking for help in the mint channels. [12:04] theadmin, I change my uuids :) [12:05] dr_willis: You can change them? [12:05] Im not, upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 [12:05] theadmin, tune2fs command can change them i recall. [12:05] sacarlson: Yes, certainly. But XBMC media shares need to be accessable and I don't think XBMC works with sftp or anything like that [12:05] dr_willis: Oh... wow. [12:05] daughain, you upgraded to 11.10 FROM mint? [12:05] Thats what it said. [12:05] daughain, im suprised that worked at all. [12:05] dr_willis: Learn something new every day :P Thanks [12:06] daughain, it may be worth the while to do a clean install of 11.10 [12:06] No clue, dr_willis , it offered the upgrade and I took it. [12:06] i would find it weird that mint would upgrade you to ubuntu... [12:06] daughain: That sounds terrifying. I'd clean install now personally. [12:07] Veovis_Muaddib clean install is easier and more efficient if you have a separate /home partition [12:07] Many of the ubuntu-spinoffs have big warnings on their web pages about NOT using the upgrade features to upgrade to the latest ubuntu. but wait for them to come out with their own upgrade path. [12:07] * daughain shrugs [12:07] wrong nick [12:07] daughain, what does your lsb_release -a say? [12:08] daughain clean install is easier and more efficient if you have a separate /home partition [12:08] My issue is solved, so Im happy. [12:08] daughain, id bet theres going to be many other issues in your future [12:08] hi my webcam freezes in ubuntu 11.10 while doing video chat..I have nvdia video card [12:09] dr_willis, I doubt it, thisi8s my wifes netbook, I just needed it to automount usb sticks. [12:09] monkey_dust does using a /home partition with both, say, ubuntu and mint, cause no problems concerning the config files? [12:10] Sluagh yes, guess so [12:11] Sluagh, shareing the same home dir/user btween disrtos can cause issues. you could set up each disrto to use its own sub dir on the same partition to keep things more seperate [12:11] monkeydust so maybe using an extra partition for data files that you can even use with windows too would be better, so that you keep home directories for every distro you use? [12:12] lsb_release says Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric [12:12] daughain, consider yourself lucky the system even booted after upgrading from mint to ubuntu. [12:12] Sluagh that would be media files, then, i can think of no other [12:13] monkey dust ok, but do i understand you right that using extra a seperated /home partition is useful if you upgrade or repair the system on root from time to time? [12:13] Least its working now [12:13] Sluagh yes, it's what i do [12:14] monkeydust i will try that. thank you!

[12:25] dr_willis: any system that went from mint->ubuntu is a franken system and is unmaintainable [12:25] danny: Kaneda...;) [12:25] whait's the mater ?/ [12:25] oh ,year [12:25] I'M from china [12:25] danny: This is a support channel. [12:25] danny: cho chachi chi cha.. [12:26] gagan662: You, too. [12:26] oops [12:26] gagan662: that wasn't funny [12:26] sorry [12:26] LjL: it wasn't for u.. [12:27] gagan662, lets move on [12:27] back on topic: Who here is up to the challenge of troubleshooting SMB shares? [12:28] /bar scroll nicklist * +100% [12:28] I'm trying to set up user authentication as per the Ubuntu guide. When browseable is turned off on a share, I am unable to login from a Windows 7 box, and given a login prompt that doesn't work. When I turned browsable on because I had forgotten to uncomment it, I can access the server but cannot see any shares. [12:34] I get 25% cpu usage from nautilus (on a 4 core cpu). bug? [12:36] how do you start sshd? [12:37] hi, anyone know an app like htop but for network traffic/connections that runs from cli? [12:37] iftop? [12:37] ronghail: sudo service sshd start [12:38] how do i get terminal to shoq åäö [12:38] psycho_oreos: thanks thats perfect [12:38] sshd: unrecognized service [12:38] Whiskey: well, you can set up the compose key that enables you to build those characters easily [12:38] sudo service ssh start [12:38] kk [12:38] sp4z, nw [12:38] yeah I tried guessing all the normal ways too [12:38] and exactly whit that you mean? [12:38] that doesn't work either [12:39] I mean on udumbo [12:39] start: unknown job: ssh [12:39] Whiskey: well. I have the compose key on the caps lock key. I can thus easily build ä by pressuig [12:39] its not ssh i think.. try tab completion [12:39] sshd perhaps? [12:40] ronghail: have you installed ssh-server? [12:40] ronghail: is sshd installed? [12:40] ronghail: Look under /etc/init/ for the .conf file. [12:40] sudo service list (I think shows them all) [12:40] I did apt-get install openssh-server [12:40] ronghail: reboot.. [12:40] I didn't install a kernel [12:40] this isn't windows [12:40] gagan6621: What kind of a suggestion is that? This is Linux [12:40] hehe [12:40] willis@SlimUbuntu:~$ sudo service ssh status [12:40] suppose a file is copying to dir /mnt/s1, i want to remove /mnt/s1 and kill copy operaion, have any way to do it with a single command, i tried "rm -rf /mnt/s1" but not working . [12:41] ssh has always auto started for me when i install the openssh server [12:41] unknown job ssh [12:41] hello, guys [12:41] yeah always started for me with older versions [12:41] try that apt-get install line again... [12:41] already latest, or something to that effect [12:41] can someone tell me what can be the side effecs of force-mounting a ntfs filesystem? that might have bad sectors? [12:41] already at newest version [12:42] there is /etc/init.d/ssh but it doesn't start sshd [12:42] ls -l /etc/init/ssh.conf [12:42] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 667 Feb 6 10:52 /etc/init/ssh.conf [12:42] ronghail: Seems to be "ssh", but... [12:42] I have that file [12:42] ronghail: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [12:42] yeah did that [12:43] can someone tell me what can be the side effecs of force-mounting a ntfs filesystem? that might have bad sectors? [12:43] doomgiver, possible dataloss or currupted files. [12:43] it tells me unknown job ssh [12:43] ronghail: Something wrong with the initscript itself probably :$ [12:43] sudo /etc/init.d/ssh status [12:43] Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [12:43] dr_willis ok,any idea of the extent? will the disk become unusalbe? or will some sort of data recovery be possibe? [12:44] yeah it says that here [12:44] doomgiver, no way anyone can predict. [12:44] dr_willis: and thanks! [12:44] doomgiver, if you want to get the data in the safest way. Image the disk to a file. perhaps using ddrescue then mount the file. [12:44] mkdir /var/run/sshd; /usr/sbin/sshd [12:45] runs [12:45] pos [12:45] having problem with graphics driver... [12:45] wonder if the sshd command has some verbose output options [12:45] help! [12:46] this has nothing to do with the sshd command at all [12:46] gagan662, state the issue wth more details instead of 'Help!' helps more... [12:46] hello, i am trying to upgrade to 11.10 but i get this message, How can i solve this please? paste.ubuntu.com/877415/ [12:46] it has to do with ubuntu's retarded init replacement [12:46] and their stupid service management [12:46] ronghail, its been working for most people for the last 4 releases I belive.. so whatever... [12:46] show 40% cpu while moving windows across desktop... [12:46] xorg use 40% cpu [12:46] not the latest though [12:46] dr_willis: wont the image have the same 'defects' as the hdd? also, the disk is not mountable in ubuntu, it asks me to to "chkdsk" in windows (the disk has windows, and im unable to boot from it, and its a crashed one, the case was dropped from several inches while the systems was running) [12:47] or has upstart been the default for more then 4 releases? [12:47] doomgiver, ddrescue can try to recover bad sectors. thats its main feature. :) [12:47] dr_willis: thanks once again for taking your time out to answer me, [12:47] gagan6621: sounds completely normal [12:47] doomgiver, you dont need to mount it for ddrescue. [12:47] crizzy: is it ok..? [12:47] ok, i;ll see the man pages [12:47] Hello, I need some help with Ubuntu 11.10.. well first I installed ubuntu 9.04 to my brothers laptop and wifi worked fine.. since it didnt want to update anything on the old ubuntu, I wanted to install the new 11.10.. but now with 11.10, the wifi doesn't work even I put the driver on.. so whats the problem [12:47] also, how big can the image get? the hdd is ~1 tb and about 750 gb is used [12:47] dr_willis: Could you please help with this paste.ubuntu.com/877415/ ? [12:48] doomgiver, also you may want to put it in an usb enclosure and try whatver disk-rescue tools the manafacture may have. After you image it. [12:48] Doomgiver sg [12:48] Syria, a summary of the problem would be nice. [12:48] gagan6621: linux/x is 100x heavier and crappier than windows, so yes it's normal :) [12:48] Msg nickserv 685418 [12:48] nice [12:48] oops [12:48] doomgiver, ive recovered 2+TB usb hd's befor. :) took over a week.. but i recovered 99% of the files. [12:48] heh [12:48] Oops lol [12:48] hmm, alright! thanks [12:48] crizzy: i thought its lighter than windows...lol [12:49] dr_willis: I am trying to upgrade to 11.10 but I get a message telling me "Forbidden Ip" [12:49] gagan6621: that's what fanboys want you to believe, but totally not true :) [12:49] gagan6621: win7 is 100x faster and less crashy than any linux. sad but true [12:49] dr_willis: I have used a global proxy but it didn't work! [12:50] dr_willis: A week? How did you keep the system up ? [12:50] wait, did you guys say windows 7 is less crashy and faster than linux? [12:50] doomgiver: hi [12:50] sattu94, up? it was reading from a usb-enclosuer.. [12:50] crizzy completely true, except for the words used [12:50] doomgiver: Just ignore the trolls [12:50] then please explain how i can get 10 second boots with a optimized arch build? [12:51] sattu94, ddrescue can stop/restart/continue its operations also.. [12:51] doomgiver: win7 never crashes on me, ubuntu/unity/regular desktop apps on linux on the other hand crash 5 to 50 times / day [12:51] dr_willis: No, Power wise ? [12:51] doomgiver: I'll call the ops, give me a sec [12:51] ico666: yo [12:51] sattu94, Huh? I plugged the flakey usb drive into my desktop box... and used ddrescue [12:51] dr_willis: No, dint the lights go away ? [12:51] Syria: what program is telling you "forbidden IP"? [12:52] sattu94, What? [12:52] dr_willis: So you had continuous ? electricity for the whole week ? [12:52] sattu94, err.. yes.. [12:52] Syria: you should, at minimum, be able to install what's on the CD/DVD without having to worry about network configuration [12:52] dr_willis: WoW. [12:52] * dr_willis has 6+ Mo uptime on many of his machines. [12:52] DocPlatypus: I am trying to upgrade my system to 11.10, I am from Syria and i can understand why my IP address is forbidden. [12:52] can we move the discussion over the merits of different operating systems elsewhere [12:52] theadmin: ok, i see waht he did there, sorry for disturbing the peace [12:52] thank you [12:53] DocPlatypus: But how can I solve this? a global proxy with the apply system wide did not help! [12:53] I want to set another shortcut for run command (default is alt+f2). But whatever I set gets ignored and 'run command' is still triggered by alt+f2 [12:53] Syria: there's gotta be a host somewhere that doesn't ban the country [12:53] whois dr_willis [12:53] (can't wait for the day when installs over Freenet/GNUNet are a realistic option) [12:54] why is ubuntu better than any other linux distribution? [12:54] i'm looking for a linux system to install [12:54] Kingstone: you're welcome to continue that discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:54] Kingstone: It's not "better" nor "worse". It's somewhat unique though. Ubuntu has developed it's own dekstop, Unity, which I find to be awesome for netbooks or touchscreens, for example. It has a few other tools you won't find elsewhere, too [12:54] darn... I tried... [12:54] umm, Kingstone, nothign is 'better' per se [12:55] after using the backup utility Deja Dup if I try to restore on a newly formated system, will the new users have same privileges as earlier? [12:55] Kingstone: it all depends on your need [12:55] does the entire world have the country of Syria banned for some reason? [12:55] since apparently it's an issue for at least one would-be Ubuntu user [12:55] Kingstone: eg, for speed, i'd use arch linux, if i wanted ease of use, i'd choose linux mint or ubuntu [12:55] as I said, you're all welcome to continue the discussion about the merits of different operating systems and linux distributions elsewhere, for example in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:56] crizzy: hey other problem when i turn on transparency in terminal. cpu stuck at 77% [12:56] crizzy: is it ok too? [12:56] hello, I'm getting started in Ubuntu anbd I need a bittorrent client. what is a good bittorrent client for Ubuntu? [12:56] you know, i save logs of convos in the chatrooms, they are a WEALTH of knowledge [12:56] ziv_: Transmission [12:56] ziv_: transmission is installed by default [12:57] THANK YOU GUYS FOR MAKING ME A BETTER PROGRAMMER [12:57] crizzy: hey other problem when i turn on transparency in terminal. cpu stuck at 77% [12:57] thank you! [12:57] ziv_: Ubuntu has Transmission built-in, check it and if you don't like it, give the following a shot, too ($IFS=" "): qbittorrent ktorrent deluge rtorrent [12:57] !logs | doomgiver [12:57] doomgiver: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [12:57] ziv_: a bunch of old/obsolete/less featured are still bundled, such as BitTornado and the original BitTorrent client in Python. I recommend not using them, however, and sticking with Transmission [12:58] gagan6621: that sounds a bit edgy.. try restarting the terminal if the cpu usage drops again.. [12:58] ziv_: I second theadmin's advice but I recommend against rtorrent unless you really need a console client [12:58] not a huge fan of deluge either [12:58] crizzy: wait.. [12:58] i prefer deluge [12:58] use rtorrent, cli goodness [12:59] dr_willis: ty once again [12:59] How can I set a new shortcut for 'run command' under oneiric? Changeing it in 'keyboard preferences' doesn't take effect [12:59] if you like text mode/CLI, sure... if I'm running an unattended seedbox I'll screen/tmux an rtorrent client [13:00] but other than that, I stick with Transmission [13:01] crizzy: no affect ..... [13:01] Anyone uses any Dells 3G modem with Ubuntu? [13:01] crizzy: now its around 80% ;) [13:01] Heh.. O cant seem to download rtorrent using apt. It says IP is forbidden. [13:01] Hello, I need some help with Ubuntu 11.10.. well first I installed ubuntu 9.04 to my brothers laptop and wifi worked fine.. since it didnt want to update anything on the old ubuntu, I wanted to install the new 11.10.. but now with 11.10, the wifi doesn't work even I put the driver on.. so whats the problem [13:02] !bcm | fafu start here [13:02] fafu start here: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:02] fafu: is the wireless kill switch turned on? which wireless chipset? [13:03] crizzy: graphics card -> ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series] [13:03] hejka [13:03] gagan6621: uhm dno.. things more or less work fine on my 6870 [13:04] crizzy: actually m using Xubuntu 11.10 x86_64 arch.. === inblu is now known as bdg-inblubottle [13:05] switch is on so it cant be because of that.. broadcom sta wirless driver is only thing what I know about that one.. I'm really noob at things with ubuntu :D [13:05] perl modules I have built on lots of previous ubuntu versions aren't building on 11.10. junk. [13:06] get an older version or a better distro [13:06] ronghail: Ask actual support questions, this is not a channel for complaining you know. Also, some of the Perl modules might be in the repos. [13:06] or it may be the verion of perl thats the issue. [13:06] the proper way to install perl modules is with cpan [13:07] there is no problem with perl [13:07] you havent really given any details.. so who knows.. [13:07] I am just trying to help that guy with his wireless by pointing out that 11.10 is hopeless [13:07] ronghail: I assume you *do* have build-essential installed? Without it pretty much nothing is gonna build... [13:07] and he should downgrade [13:07] yes I have build-essential [13:07] * trijntje recals that there were some missing headers when the perl package was build, and thats why things failed [13:07] theadmin: when i turn on transparency in terminal. cpu stuck at 77%.what to do. [13:08] gagan6621: Don't ask random people your questions, for one. [13:08] theadmin: i dint get support so i am asking you.. [13:08] man what support [13:08] its help [13:08] support is for the commercials [13:09] !patience | gagan6621 [13:09] gagan6621: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [13:09] monser: move on, ok? Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:09] when i turn on transparency in terminal. cpu stuck at 77%.what to do. [13:10] not turn on transparency? [13:12] also had to install m4 gawk bison and texinfo which are essential to any build but aren't in essential [13:12] MonkeyDust: this is not my answer....

[13:17] kiran [13:17] pfifo [13:18] gagan6621, Since no one seems to have your answer (I don't, sorry), have you done a quick search at the forums? http://ubuntuforums.org/ [13:19] Is there any downside to migrating to Debian 6 from Ubuntu 10.04? [13:19] How can I set a new shortcut for 'run command' under oneiric? Changeing it in 'keyboard preferences' doesn't take effect [13:20] pfifo: I guess #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for that. Or ask the people from debian why debian is better than ubuntu [13:23] how can I have passwordless root account? [13:23] monser: That's the default. [13:24] monser, change the 2nd field of root's entry in /etc/shadow to * [13:24] monser: that sounds like a really bad idea, dont do that [13:24] theadmin, root has a password by default [13:24] yes I know that it is possible to have root account with no password [13:24] how to do that? [13:24] pfifo: Uh not really, it's not set. It's not really empty either. [13:25] monser, see my 'advice' [13:25] pfifo: The account is just locked out (the password hash is defined as "!", which no sane hash comes out as) === hari_ is now known as harikt [13:25] monser: why would you want to do that? Bad idea! [13:25] !root > monser [13:25] monser, please see my private message [13:25] pfifo: is this gonna to disable the root account? [13:26] monser, no it will enable the root account and anyone who wants to use it can [13:26] ok [13:26] ... even if there in china and have bad intentions [13:26] Sounds like a great idea. :-( [13:26] what is the /etc/shadow file for? [13:26] pfifo: don't tell people how to do that kind of thing.. If they dont know how to they shouldn't be taught ;) [13:27] man [13:27] trijntje, ill make a note of it [13:27] why do you want to restrict the knowledge [13:27] trijntje: this is not an free soft attitude [13:28] monser: Becuase it's silly to do silly things?... [13:28] "silly" and "bad idea" are opinions not truths, if someone wants to have a passwordless root it's up to them [13:28] monser, type 'man shadow' to get all the details about what it is and how it works [13:28] monser: the point is that it's dangerous to do that. And if you have to ask help to set an empty root password, it *really* dangerous [13:29] hi man [13:29] i have a problem [13:29] the point is to spread and share what you know.Not telling the others not to tell [13:29] this is the point [13:29] sitmaudat: ask away [13:29] monser: you should read the legend of king Midas [13:29] seriously [13:29] ;) [13:30] conky [13:30] I'm hoping someone might be able to provide me a little direction? I have a Mac Mini from about 4 years ago and am attempting to install linux on it. I have a Logitech diNovo keyboard that connects via bluetooth.

[14:06] Sure thing, I am faster than you are FloodBot1. [14:06] Watch and be jealous. xD [14:06] greenit, you need to generate a rsa-keypair that isnt protected with a passphrasse [14:06] !enter AchlysEpithet [14:06] pfifo, i tried this too, but then it says that the agent is not able to log in with this key... [14:07] Halexander9000, there was also a program called devilspie but i don't know if it plays nicely with your environment. you can just try it [14:07] greenit, you messed up somewhere, start at the beginning and try again [14:07] greenit there is an ssh account called "anonymous" [14:07] pfifo, k [14:09] greenit: the password is not the SSH password, but the password you set when you created the key-pair. if you don't want that, then you should create a key-pair without a password [14:09] tsimpson, k [14:10] Im trying to install nvidia drivers on a lenovo W520 which has 2 graphiccards as shown in this terminal output: bin.cakephp.org/view/329506174. When i try to install the drivers and reboot the system hangs and cannot start up. So i have to go to recoverymode and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which then enables me to boot the system...but with very poor graphic capabilities. How can i fix it so that the system is running with optimal NVIDIA [14:10] drivers? Please someone help. [14:10] pfifo, do you know how i can remove the existing key from the ssh-agent? [14:10] MonkeyDust, this is the first time i hear about such account btw [14:10] pfifo, because this message displays with the new keypair: Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. [14:11] pfifo: velko: Actually, I think I found a way to change the size of my resolution mode itself. Should work nicely for my purposes. Thanks anyway. [14:11] velko my mistake, it's FTP, not SSH that has "anonymous" [14:11] how can i load my plymouth screen without rebooting? [14:12] greenit, delete the file that you scp'd [14:13] im trying to run a bash script called test and im getting this sillyness: -bash: .: /usr/bin/test: cannot execute binary file [14:13] delinquentme did you make it executable with chmod +x ? [14:14] MonkeyDust, i thought all it needed was the bash config line @ the top [14:14] chmod 755 test right? === eon is now known as Guest62616 [14:14] delinquentme you mean the bin/bash thingy ? [14:14] its called a shebang [14:14] Im trying to install nvidia drivers on a lenovo W520 which has 2 graphiccards as shown in this terminal output: bin.cakephp.org/view/329506174.

How can i fix it so that the system is running with optimal NVIDIA [14:14] drivers? Please someone help. [14:14] delinquentme, also check if the first line in the file is "#!/bin/bash" (or make sure you call your script like "bash /usr/bin/test" [14:14] yeah [14:15] yeap i've got this: #!/usr/bin/env bash [14:15] Hi. Does it make any diference if I install ubuntu via USB stick or with the Windows Installer (WUBI) ? [14:15] top line ... and im calling it with " . test " [14:15] victor___: A lot of difference [14:16] victor___, Using WUBI, it'll install it under windows's bootloader. [14:16] victor___: Normal installation is more stable, WUBI hardly ever works it seems [14:16] And as an application... you'll get to remove ubuntu from software package remove/add. [14:16] delinquentme, not ". test" but only "test" or "/usr/bin/test" [14:16] delinquentme, the file still needs to be executable and you must either place it in PATH or call it using a path [14:16] Okay, so just a regular usb memory stick is ok? [14:16] delinquentme, using a bash script named test is not a good idea, there is a bash command test [14:16] victor___ wubi is a "pseudo installation", it cannot be upgraded and is more limited than a real installation [14:16] victor___: Sure, long as it's big enough [14:16] victor___, its okay but it usually gives you a lot of issue in the long run. [14:16] Allright i've never seen options to boot from usb but [14:16] It often keeps crashing on discreen graphic drivers, -.- [14:17] Somethig I have to change in bios possibly? [14:17] That kept happening with my Jaunty. [14:17] delinquentme, give it a different name like trial [14:17] victor___, the BIOS doesn't have anything to do with a WUBI. [14:17] that was the issue [14:17] can anyone suggest how can I create my own plymouth screen? [14:17] itaylor57, lolol i did! and there is another module called trial! [14:17] victor___: Yeah, you need to set your bios to boot from your USB, if it can't you have to use a third-party tool like plop to boot your liveusb [14:17] Im refering to installing via usb stick, does it boot loading from it or how does it work? sorry for the confusion [14:17] its now zonk and it works :D [14:17] Allright theadmin, thanks. [14:17] mi3, http://joekuan.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/plymouth-create-your-own-splash-screen-with-scrolling-boot-messages/ [14:18] Is there any reason 32bit is tagged as reccomended on ubuntu.com? [14:18] victor___, he meant like in wubi, I guess. :P [14:18] victor___, because many processors are 32 bit. [14:18] Ah okay but 64 just as stable? [14:18] victor___, 32bit version supports more hardware than 64bit [14:18] Though 64bit options are available, many softwares don't have their 64bit versions out yet. [14:18] victor___, its pretty stable. [14:18] Yeah i had some problems downloading 32bit libs the other day [14:18] To get them to run [14:18] Like Flash doesn't have its 64bit out yet. [14:19] But running 64bit with 32bit libs is pretty much the same thing? [14:19] victor___ 32bit runs on both 32 and 64bit hardware -- 64bit only on 64bit hardware [14:19] Its not like im doing anything major [14:19] victor___, thats running a hummingbird in a wind tunnel. [14:19] It wouldn't matter much unless you need to utilise the processor's 64bit instruction set. [14:19] Hmm. So what would you reccomend me? Its my laptop atm [14:19] Stuff like encoding would be comparitively faster. [14:19] i7 2630m [14:19] It matters if you run a PHP parser. [14:19] Or anything such. [14:19] =). [14:19] AchlysEpithet: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:19] AchlysEpithet: err I want a one with an animation, i have a script but its a little erroneous [14:20] victor___, you should use a 64bit [14:20] Your processor is 64bit compatible already. [14:20] And I believe it does have VT/x. [14:20] Im just gonna stream some video to my tv, and ply around with minor things [14:20] Ok thanks for the input [14:20] Do i just put the iso file on the stick and thats it? :P [14:20] victor___, still, 64bit is a good way to go. [14:20] Just wanna be safe:) [14:20] victor___, No not that way. [14:20] Use unet boot in. [14:21] What it basically does is extract the ISO file on a thumb drive. [14:21] And then create a bootloader. [14:21] Do you want me to fetch you a link? [14:21] Sure, yes please [14:21] victor___, one moment. [14:21] http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/568/unetbootin-windows-568.exe/download [14:21] That one, victor___. [14:21] AchlysEpithet, since debian squeeze ubuntu and debian have hybrid iso images. you can just dd the iso image to the stick and it will work [14:22] okay, thanks :) [14:22] http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/568/unetbootin-windows-568.exe/download [14:22] oops sorry [14:22] mi3, http://askubuntu.com/questions/84045/how-do-i-run-a-custom-animated-bootscreen should get you started. [14:22] velko, I think victor___ meant copying the ISO file to the stic. [14:22] :P [14:22] * stick. [14:22] pardon me if I am getting it wrong though. [14:22] Because you usually need to make a disc have a boot flag to make it boot. [14:23] And a boot loader that'll load a kernel, an init and all that shit. [14:23] AchlysEpithet, yes this wont work. but there is no need for netbootin [14:23] velko, there are alternatives, certainl. [14:23] * certainly. [14:23] !language | AchlysEpithet [14:23] AchlysEpithet: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [14:23] But UnetBootin is a bit hassel-free, I'd rather say. [14:23] unetbootin can be a pain...at times [14:23] ubottu, do what you are suppoed to, little bot. xD. [14:23] AchlysEpithet: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:23] X_0, its never pain to me. [14:24] ubottu, you're dumb any way. You're like a trash running on a dell precision edge workstation with a PIII underclocked to a milivolt. xDDD [14:24] AchlysEpithet: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:24] AchlysEpithet: here is the paste of my screen it works correctly [it loads 71 frames] can it run above 400? http://pastebin.com/rCmjs6mH [14:24] This bores me now. -.- [14:24] Let me check, mi3. [14:24] ok [14:24] !bottreat [14:24] Alot more dists to choose from on unetbootin [14:24] 11.10 Live/HDmedia I suppose [14:25] _x64 ofc! [14:25] Apparently, that is okay, mi3. [14:25] Though I can't confirm you on the fadein options there. [14:25] Oh nvm i could load a diskimage :P [14:25] I didn't try it out yet. [14:25] victor___, Mhm. True that. [14:25] Flash in Google Chrome stopped working for me out of the blue..and I don't have a clue what to do with it. Any ideas, anyone? [14:26] I find storing ISOs a better option. [14:26] Zaitzev, is your ubuntu 64bit? [14:26] yes [14:26] AchlysEpithet: can i load more then 400 images? [14:26] Same old 64bit issue, Zaitzev. [14:26] AchlysEpithet: in that? [14:26] AchlysEpithet: so it just randomly stops working? [14:26] Been waiting for months to find when they have a 64bit out, Zaitzev. [14:26] It is a bug. [14:26] !bug [14:26] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [14:26] You could google it, the ubuntu bug database has it. [14:27] I'm trusting it exists, no need to read.. [14:27] mi3, I am sorry, I am not aware of the frame limitations. [14:27] But not likely it'd let you have 400 frames. [14:27] I just checked the code, seems neat. [14:27] Playing a 150 is a safe bet, mi3. [14:27] Zaitzev, Mhm. [14:27] AchlysEpithet: can you suggest where can I get more help regarding plymouth? [14:27] Though you should always check to see if there are bugs and shit already. xD [14:28] mi3, would you prefer a link? [14:28] ok [14:28] 64-bit systems has been around for what, a decade or so soon? and they have yet to build flash plugins that works for it? wtf.. [14:28] !language | AchlysEpithet [14:28] AchlysEpithet: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [14:28] itaylor57, sigh. -.- [14:28] AchlysEpithet, your not allowed to swear in this channel [14:28] Mm. Well. Sure, I am not. [14:29] AchlysEpithet: ? [14:29] mi3, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth <--- thats a bit of an official documentation. But that should get you stareted. [14:29] * started even. [14:29] Oh just making sure. I can still dual boot it right? [14:29] X_0, b33r, sir. [14:29] victor___, of course you can! [14:29] =D [14:29] Just change your bios to boot from flash drive. [14:29] Oh and btw, old Bioses don't have the option to boot from flash drive. [14:29] Can the installer make partitions or should I allocate free space in windows beforehand? [14:29] But most new ones do, all those post 2004 ones. [14:29] victor___, the installer can. [14:30] I only have 1 partition atm so.. [14:30] It uses its default partition manager. [14:30] 350/600gb [14:30] Gparted. [14:30] victor___, will work. [14:30] I ran ubuntu on a Toaster ffs. [14:30] xD [14:30] okay so it wont screw up windows? :P [14:30] haha [14:30] Well it was a toaster with a mini-itx. [14:30] I needed one for the toilet. [14:30] AchlysEpithet: thats too simple where else can i get help related to plymouth? [14:30] arun pvt [14:30] is there any channel? [14:30] mi3, some hard code stuff, I have this.. wait. hold on a second. [14:30] mi3, not channel really. [14:30] =X. [14:30] X_0, leave me one, hobo. [14:30] ok [14:31] stfu and pm [14:31] hey does one need to defrag ubuntu as one would wimblows? [14:31] helpanoob: Nope [14:31] X_0, =( [14:31] Okay [14:31] Errr.. I need a minute here mi3 and victor___ . [14:31] Sorry [14:31] :P [14:31] I guess I owe X_0 some money. [14:31] o_O [14:32] AchlysEpithet: take your time [14:32] Umm... I'll get in a minute or two [14:32] Am sorry === beboj_ is now known as beboj [14:32] AchlysEpithet: its ok take your time no need to be sorry, come on! [14:32] xD === BlouBlou is now known as alpacas [14:32] anyone heard of artificial telepathy ? [14:32] I came in here for after maybe a year, quite frankly. [14:32] How. How can I remove unity and install gnome classic? Thanks. [14:32] I am not a regular here. xDDD. [14:33] under, what version of ubuntu? [14:33] last one [14:33] under: Not possible for Oneiric. [14:33] hello y'all [14:33] WHAT? [14:33] under: Gnome 2 is no longer developed, so... You have to wave it goodbye. Try XFCE. [14:33] well, MATE is probably possible from a ppa [14:33] mi3, I guess http://joekuan.wordpress.com/2010/08/05/plymouth-create-your-own-splash-screen-with-scrolling-boot-messages/ is all I have got, I am afraid. [14:33] =\ [14:33] But it seems pretty helpful to me. [14:33] I used one of those to create a nasty mac one. xD === dewe is now known as Sokhibi [14:34] under i have 11.10 and dont like unity. i installed gnome-shell and gnome-panel. i then choose classic gnomre]] [14:34] hey. i've got a little problem. when i try to luch Far Cry through wine everything works fine expect sound. there is no sound in game. anyway to fix it? [14:34] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/Scripts , mi3 [14:34] Thats the whole documentations that you'd need. [14:34] i then choose classic gnome at login time [14:34] But apparently, its having no sample scripts. [14:34] okay [14:34] mi3, let me know if that does. [14:34] victor___, ping. :P [14:35] So before I venture to installing. I have now made the boot-thingy with UNetbootin. I used the 11.10 desktop amd64.iso, successfully. I am currently running windows on a single partition. A 600gb hdd with 60% free. So ubuntu installer can make this happen? Create a partition out of the sole and only one I have right now? And dual boot magic? [14:35] Oi, wb eon__. [14:36] Because the partition is all allocated space, even if its not used? [14:36] X_0, can you do a tracert on eon's I need the last hop, my nmap refuses to start up. [14:36] AchlysEpithet: umm do you know i was talking about the script i pasted? i increased it to 105 [see line 173] can you suggest how? [14:36] victor___, It doesn't matter. It'll automatically change the format of the partition. [14:36] Lets say you have a 500gig hDD. [14:36] and 250 Gig is for windows. [14:36] http://169.254.169.254/ << is this a reserved IP address? [14:36] And you have another 250 gig partition that you don't mind sparing. [14:36] victor___: it will resize [14:36] So you could use the rest of the 250G (Whether formatted or unallocated) to run ubuntu. [14:36] AchlysEpithet: umm sorry how to make it to 300? [14:37] mi3, Gparted will guid you. You can pull a slider. [14:37] Ah okay, thanks :) [14:37] xD [14:37] AchlysEpithet: is there some calculation? [14:37] Its all easy. [14:37] Has it always been like that? [14:37] Well the last 5 years atleast [14:37] mi3, I am sorry, I am not qutie aware of the frame limits as I told you. [14:37] in ubuntu source code (more exactly in the update-manager package), how can i get the currenty installed ubuntu version? i am writing a patch and want to fix a string to say "Ubuntu %s is blah blah blah" % version what should i put instead of the 'version' reference ?? [14:37] Anyway, reboot time :) [14:37] delinquentme it looks like an apipa address for internal networking only [14:37] victor___, Sort of. xD [14:37] AchlysEpithet: can you explain me the calculation that has been done? [14:37] wish me luck, although im certain its not needed :P [14:37] Thanks alot AchlysEpithet [14:37] mi3, I'll check 173 quick. [14:37] victor___, do a backup first [14:37] victor___, naaah. thats all right [14:37] :P [14:37] Godspeed! [14:38] JohnNapster: This isn't really helpful, but you can look at /etc/*-release files and the output of various lsb_release commands. e.g. on a 11.10 system, "lsb_release -sc" will return "oneiric" [14:38] i want the number, like "12.04" [14:38] delinquentme The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved 169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 for Automatic Private IP Addressing. As a result, APIPA provides an address that is guaranteed not to conflict with routable addresses. [14:38] As far as I understand, it defines when after reaching particular number of frames it loops back, mi3? [14:39] I just checked the synatxes and all, I didn't see all of it really. [14:39] JohnNapster: lsb_release -sr [14:39] ohh i see! [14:39] =). [14:39] But the code looks clean, mi3. [14:39] theadmin: i cannot use that command in a script [14:39] i want it to stop looping and continue [14:39] Umm. could run it on an environment maybe. [14:39] mi3, thats that you ded in line 169. [14:39] bosong, thanks much! [14:40] theadmin: i cannot use that command in a script... i am fixing the update-manager source code [14:40] JohnNapster: Depends on your programming languages, most have some statement like exec() or system() or whatever. [14:40] what? [14:40] theadmin: which would you recommend? [14:40] mi3, you set loop = 0; [14:40] JohnNapster: Which ARE you coding in? [14:40] theadmin: python [14:40] ok how do I stop it from looping? === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [14:41] theadmin: which python command would you recommend? [14:41] mi3, Not very sure. I can say from line 173 that it'd start looping after reaching particular number of frames. [14:41] i hate to see it looping from frame 61 i guess [14:41] Indeed. -.- . Loops freak me out. [14:41] xD [14:42] theadmin: something like platform.version_string() [14:42] i am referring to line 175 [14:42] JohnNapster: Something like this would work...: ubuntu_version = os.system("lsb_release -sr") [14:43] JohnNapster: Not too into Python personally, not sure if there is a native way to get it (probably not) [14:43] theadmin, no, that returnt she exit code [14:43] theadmin, i don't think so. this will return the exit status of the command [14:43] pfifo: Oh, doh... How would I go about getting the output? [14:43] JohnNapster, open, /usr/bin/lsb_release and READ it, it is a python script [14:44] theadmin: platform.system() returns "Linux" ... i want something that would return "12.04" or "11.10" or.... you get the idea [14:44] JohnNapster: I know what you mean, I don't think it's possible to do it by a simple function call [14:44] JohnNapster, see above [14:44] gksu nautilus [14:45] wylde: This is not a terminal window [14:45] bah wrong window focused >< [14:45] how does ubuntu code in general get its version string ? [14:46] JohnNapster, from the file /etc/lsb-release [14:46] another thing... [14:47] most all code uses subprocesses to read strings [14:47] what's the package name of the Overview thing in ubuntu? [14:47] JohnNapster: Teh wut? You mean the main menu thing, the dash? That's provided by the unity package, I believe. [14:48] in my Overview screen it says ubuntu 12.04 LTS and not Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (ubuntu --> Ubuntu) [14:48] JohnNapster ask in #ubuntu+1 [14:49] JohnNapster: Ah that, gnome-system-monitor or whatnot probably (if it's still that) [14:49] (not sure) [14:49] i want to set a shell variable to the value which gets returned by this call : wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id [14:49] $NARF = wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id isnt doing it :D [14:49] hey guys [14:50] delinquentme, omit the $ [14:50] delinquentme: blah = $(command) [14:50] Is inotify a server [14:50] theadmin: i'll take a look at it [14:50] delinquentme, export narf=blah [14:50] ah! === f3bruary is now known as f3bruary_away [14:51] delinquentme: If you prefer, you can also go Perl-style: blah = `command` [14:51] can anyone help me with this !!

I want to change the default gnome-launcher-panel-icon so when adding a new menu item the icon is a different one to the default spring looking icon [14:51] theadmin, spaces are not allowed in bash e.g., blah=$(command) [14:52] ablyss: That's what I said just now, I forgot bash is so picky (been coding in Perl for the past few days which has a somewhat similar syntax in many things) [14:52] awesome! TIL i why the $ is used to denote bash [14:53] theadmin, +10 points [14:54] delinquentme: lol, well -- yeah, spaces. If you want the variable to be available to child processes (things you start from this shell/script) you'll have to export it. [14:54] theadmin: nope, it isn't the gnome-system-monitor [14:55] JohnNapster: Ah sorry, hm... Not sure what else it may be then. [14:55] theadmin: it's the Overview window... i can't remember how i opened it [14:56] JohnNapster: I've not used Ubuntu for ages so that doesn't ring any bells xD I remember that the system monitor used to have some page with basic system info, at least earlier [14:57] theadmin what are you using just now ? [14:57] bosong: Right now? Windows 7. Well, my main operating systems are W7 and Arch Linux, with Gentoo on my shell account. This is also offtopic. [14:57] theadmin: it does, but it isn't the thing that has the typo in it [14:57] no_gravity, gzip and bzip can compress only single files, no directories. for this reason you can use tar to concatenate all files from a directory into one file. and use gzip or bzip to compress it. you can also tell tar to compress the archive on the fly (with the options z or j). but you cannot specify the compression level [14:58] theadmin: it's sort of like the ubuntu About box [14:58] JohnNapster 12.04 is still in development, it will be corrected, imo [14:58] no_gravity, your command is correct. but if you want to select the compression level, you have to split it in two steps [14:58] JohnNapster: Hmmm.... Dunno where you found that xD [14:58] velko: ok, i will go with the default compression level [14:59] MonkeyDust: can youtell me how to open the About (Overview) box in Ubuntu 12.04 ? [14:59] JohnNapster no, better ask that in the 12.04 channel #ubuntu+1 [14:59] ok [15:01] how to download load the whole one year log of ubuntu support?

[15:03] ha! i found it [15:03] JohnNapster, if you don't know how you opened it, then neither do i [15:04] harry_: That's about it [15:04] MonkeyDust: are you on ubuntu 12.04?

[16:18] only difference between capital U and lowercase is the bottom right of the letter. [16:18] diverdude: i plugged in my usb and typed sudo blkid and i got something in /dev/sdb1 and fs=ntfs [16:19] JohnNapster you too, use pastebinit [16:19] do you have anything mounted at /dev/sdbX that has fs fat32? [16:19] MonkeyDust: its on a crashed machine - no network :( But its something like /dev/sda1: UUID="long alphanum string" TYPE="ext4" and /dev/sda5: UUID="..." TYPE="SWAP" [16:19] that's not it [16:19] MonkeyDust: vfat too [16:20] that's the swap partition of your system [16:20] not usb key [16:20] and the ext4 ? [16:20] MonkeyDust: His system isn't recognizing the usb [16:20] root partition [16:20] ah [16:20] maybe its because its in recovery mode? [16:20] ext4 is your "normal" partition where you have your files on [16:20] CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY FIX ? IT TAKES AGES FOR THE WIFI TO CONNECT TO THE ROUTER [16:21] diverdude: Yes [16:21] like music etc. [16:21] it cannot read USB in recovery mode? [16:21] !caps | psyqiq [16:21] !caps| psyqiq [16:21] psyqiq: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [16:21] kony called [16:21] diverdude: maybe try this. dmesg | tail -22 [16:22] then install your usb stick and wait a few seconds and type dmesg| tail -22 again. [16:22] Compare the output. Look for what was printed after you plugged it in. [16:22] It may give you a hint as to why it isn't being recognized. [16:22] Anyone succesfully installed XBMC on ubuntu? The documentation says i should add a repository line but it seems to be outdated [16:23] gvo: hmm that writes a lot of stuff [16:23] Max of 44 lines total. [16:23] can anyone help me install a newer version of mysqll? [16:23] redirect the output to a file if necessary. [16:23] ubuntu 10.0.4 only has mysql 5.1.41 [16:24] I need mysql 5.1.61 [16:24] diverdude: do you still have your usb plugged in ? [16:24] i use ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and after update i can't see the wireless icon but i am connected properly.. any ideas .. ? [16:24] diverdude: do you still have your usb plugged in ? try mount /dev/sdb1 [16:25] diverdude if you're root, fdisk -l [16:25] i cant get BIOS selector ro appeat [16:25] appear [16:25] But that won't do anything if blkid didn't see it. [16:25] Oh well. [16:26] JohnNapster: /dev/sdb1 can't exist if blkid didn't see it. [16:26] then he must have a corrupted fstab [16:27] What is ubuntu-10.04.'4'? [16:27] Hi all. Anybody familiar with I/O errors booting Ubuntu from an external harddisk using USB 3? [16:27] JohnNapster: ? [16:27] gvo, MonkeyDust : thx, i can log in now to ubuntu sudo chmod 1777 /tmp worked [16:27] subdesign: Good. [16:27] how do i make BIOS appear [16:27] !yay| subdesign [16:27] subdesign: Glad you made it! :-) [16:27] I just installed vsftpd. i did a passwd ftp and then I gave it my password... but I can't seem to login as the user ftp.. what gives? [16:27] Root filesystem disappears at random after a while and the system because unusable instantly. I've seen some discussion online but I'm unaware if there's a fix. Any pointers? [16:27] gvo, MonkeyDust : but it was some prom, my left side icons again are big, so some settings are lost [16:28] *prob [16:28] What is ubuntu-10.04.'4'? (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download) [16:28] i made a mega db backup i dont want this again :P [16:28] *i make [16:28] locsmif, if theres io errors. the device can get removed or remounted read only, sounds like the HD is dieing. or has other issues. [16:28] orated: a periodic release with the updates included since 10.4.3 [16:28] i properly shutdown a ubuntu 11.04 box, and after reboot the network manager says no network devices available. how can i fix this? and why did this happen? [16:28] i use ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and after update i can't see the wireless icon but i am connected properly.. any ideas .. ? [16:28] diverdude: please look what you have in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [16:29] JohnNapster: That's got nothing to do with his problem. [16:29] any solutions? [16:30] acidrain, what kind of network card do you have? [16:30] I downloaded the latest nvidia drivers for my gfx and linux 64bit. I checked the permission tab on the file to be able to run as a program. However I have to run it as root, how do I do that via GUI? [16:30] acidrain: wireless? [16:30] Or via line... [16:30] [16:30] orated "the fourth maintenance update to Ubuntu's 10.04 LTS release" https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2012-February/000155.html [16:30] wired [16:30] how can I start xfce4 after forwarding X over a ssh [16:31] gvo: its wired. network card is realtek, its been modded to run on an older driver that works [16:31] hmm it seems I can't login as the user ftp because it's a dameon or something... when I try to load the users & groups GUI tool it lags real bad and hangs.. and i have to kill the process users-admin because it will not close when i click on the red x, what gives? [16:31] gvo: also its been working for quite a while [16:31] ryannathans, one normally run specific apps. not the whole desktop. [16:31] acidrain: lsmod and see that the driver was installed. [16:31] ryannathans, is this on a local lan or over the internet? [16:31] I dont understand, I just installed ubuntu fresh and I never picked a root password, how am I supposed to login as root to install the nvidia.run package? [16:32] dr_willis: lan [16:32] su ./file ? [16:32] victor__ you don't login as root [16:32] ryannathans@hitech:~$ xclock [16:32] Error: Can't open display: [16:32] victor__: sudo [16:32] gvo: i did lsmod, but i dont see anything mentioning the driver. [16:32] "You appear to be running an Xserver, please exit X before installing" [16:32] victor__: the password it askes for is yours not root's [16:32] gvo: but like i said, its been installed for MONTHS. and all of a sudden its gone? [16:32] ryannathans, if you need a 'whole' remote desktop on the local box. you could use xdmcp, or vnc, or rdp, depending on how you want to 'work' or just run the specific apps you need and let them appear on the local box. [16:32] What does that mean? :P [16:33] dr_willis: how can I just run one app? [16:33] why does ubuntu insist I use shitty video players? [16:33] ryannathans, if you can see both monitors of both pc's you could use synergy to share the keyboard. [16:33] dr_willis: I'm getting "Error: Can [16:33] victor__: You become root using sugo. [16:33] since ive been using ubuntu it has shipped with the shittiest media players [16:33] Successfully ran it with the sudo command now and that prompted [16:33] sudo [16:33] ryannathans, ssh -X remote run the app. [16:33] ryannathans, check that on the server you enabled xforwarding and that you connect with "ssh -X" [16:33] why not ship with mplayer and save everyones time? [16:33] or was it -x i forget... :) [16:33] !ssh | ryannathans [16:33] ryannathans: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [16:33] dr_willis: I'm getting [16:33] Error: Can't open display: [16:33] ryannathans, you dident use -X then is my first gues [16:33] dr_willis: i'm using putty [16:33] quazimodo please join #insultubuntu [16:33] ryannathans, on windows? or linux? [16:34] " ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before [16:34] installing." when running sudo ./file [16:34] is X the GUI? [16:34] windows, I ticked forwarding X11 and typed in localhost:2 after vnc4server -geometry 1440x900 on the localhost:2 [16:34] my main concern is why has linux all of a sudden disregarded my network configurations after months of having them? [16:34] MonkeyDust: except im not insluting ubuntu, i love ubuntu, i dont understand how all these great things come together and include crappy parole [16:34] victor__, yes [16:34] acidrain: do you know what module is your driver? [16:34] victor__, yes.. what are you trying to do exactly? [16:34] it's imho better/more universal to use -Y instead of -X for x11 forwarding via ssh [16:34] Installing the most recent appriopriate nvidia drivers [16:34] Since the generic ones did not support opengl [16:34] for my card, atleast [16:34] -Y i think is perfered on a local lan. [16:34] (taken from nvidia.com) [16:35] gvo: hang on, let me find out where it was installed to, [16:35] victor__, you may want to look for some guides on askubuntu.com about using the latest. [16:35] is it possible to mount usb sticks in recovery mode? [16:35] had few java crapish gui apps (eg. for managing few disk arrays) that had their problems with -X but worked fine with -X [16:35] quazimodo VLC does/plays about everything [16:35] victor__, you have to switch to a virual terminal with ctrl+alt+f1, login as your user, stop x "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop" and run your script [16:35] diverdude, yes. use the proper mount command. [16:35] acidrain: Did you upgrade your kernel recently? [16:35] MonkeyDust: Thanks. Secondly, do you know if laptop users should install desktop or netbook version? 'coz http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso.torrent is not working [16:35] Oh.. allright velko, thanks. i'll double check askubuntu.com dr_willis :) [16:35] gvo: RTL8168/8111 [16:35] err, fine with -Y that is. [16:36] gvo: i did do a system update, but why would that mess with what i have done? [16:36] dr_willis: which one is that? [16:36] victor__, ive seen way to many people have issues when trying the 'latest' nvidia driver installer. [16:36] My cpu doesn't support virtualization. I tried to boot lucid iso...can someone confirm me that qemu is much slower than virtualbox? Or am I doing something wrong? [16:36] diverdude, totally depens on yoru system. sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/MAKEADIR [16:36] !mount | diverdude [16:36] diverdude: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [16:36] xterm: DISPLAY is not set [16:36] acidrain: well if you installed a new kernel then you'll have to reins6tall the modules (drivers) for that card. === JoFo is now known as Zedrikov` [16:36] orated use desktop => netbook != laptop [16:36] dr_willis: yes exactly..my problem is to find out what XX is in /dev/sdXX [16:36] ryannathans, you are using putty under windows? or linux? === Zedrikov` is now known as JoFo [16:37] dr_willis: i said windows [16:37] dr_willis: his usb stick isn't being detected. [16:37] ryannathans, then you needt o have an actual X server running on the box. for the apps to appear on. Or just use VNC [16:37] hmmm [16:37] dr_willis no /dev/sd? anything. [16:37] i made a new user but I can't upload files as this user, i'm getting a permission denied error.. [16:37] dr_willis: ? [16:38] dr_willis other than swap and his root partion. [16:38] MonkeyDust: yeah vlc is fine, parole and before that totem were the issues [16:38] gvo, dmesg soon after he plugs it in.. if not seen.. its very likely a dead usb. or dead port. [16:38] dr_willis: I have an x server running on localhost:2 started by vnc4server -geometry 1440x900 [16:38] dr_willis: we've already been there. [16:38] quazimodo "if everything else fails, join #ubuntu" :) [16:38] dr_willis it's not showing up in dmesg. [16:38] dr_willis: if I run x on this computer, who's processor and whose gpu is used? [16:38] funny thing is that when i plug it in., 3 lines appear in the terminal...so its not totally dead [16:39] and the USB stick works on other machines [16:39] does anyone have any idea? [16:39] diverdude what three lines? === magentar_ is now known as magentar [16:40] dr_willis: the hdd is fine.. [16:40] 3091.833176 usb 3-2:new high speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [16:40] and then [16:41] If shift+ctrl +1 switched to virtual terminal, how do i switch back? :P [16:41] dr_willis: if I run x on this computer, who's processor and whose gpu is used?

[16:42] victor___: ALT-f7 [16:42] thanks [16:42] Church: yes i am [16:42] victor___ maybe [16:42] phew :D [16:42] Church: you know that this is a crashed computer without network?? so no i cannot paste it [16:42] oh, i didn't. [16:43] * Church noticed only latest bit about usb key [16:43] Church I think he has two computers [16:43] yes i have [16:43] velko: I couldnt stop it like that :/ ( sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop) that is [16:43] diverdude if you have more than one pc in the same network, you can ssh to the "bad" pc and use pastebin [16:43] I have to go. diverdude good luck. [16:43] said command not found* [16:44] computer is crashed because of bad driver support for graphic drivers...so i wanted to try and copy a Xorg.conf using USB key...but ofc. i also cannot mount USB [16:44] arrrrg [16:44] MonkeyDust: The badk computer has no network. [16:44] ryannathans, both. [16:44] bad [16:44] diverdude not even a local network? [16:44] ryannathans, gpu/local cpu to display the app. remote to do the apps main processing [16:44] MonkeyDust: no its in recoverymode.....i dont think there is any network...ifconfig returns nothing [16:44] hi, i'm running ubuntu 12.04, and have run into a dependency problem when dist-upgrading my installation - here is the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/VKVXVzcx - does anyone know what i can do to fix this? [16:44] diverdude: if it's not getting mounted automatically, from kernel log (eg. via command 'dmesg') you can see what device is assigned to that key (eg. /dev/sdc or alike), type fdisk -l /dev/sdc to list partitions on it and try mount it directly on some mountpoint [16:44] tominglis #ubuntu+1 [16:45] thanks [16:45] dr_willis: so what is being used to say, render a 3d app [16:45] hi, I recetnly started using the button on my computer to shut my computer down [16:45] eg. mkdir /tmp/usb ; mount /dev/sdc1 /tmp/usb [16:45] and now it takes like 20-30 mins to just boot up? [16:46] ryannathans, the local GPU/CPU would be doing most of the work. [16:46] I only have linux on my computer btw [16:46] anyone here have experience with here-docs? How do you treat $hello as a string rather than a variable ? [16:46] gvo: where do i install the driver modules again? i just refound the driver [16:46] paul_uk in bash? [16:46] MonkeyDust, yeah [16:47] paul_uk [16:47] paul_uk there the #bash channel [16:47] \$hello [16:47] Why can't i shutdown X? Fresh desktop install .10 I tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and gdm3 stop? [16:47] nomihc, thanks [16:47] paul_uk there's the #bash channel [16:47] Pickleface: sounds like bootup process is waiting for something to complete/timeout. If you have that gui with progressbar thingie on boot, you can press 'esc' to switch to more verbose text mode and see what actually is slowing down things [16:47] even tried service gdm3 stop and invoke-rc.d gdm3 stop [16:48] Church: I get like 4 options on bootup now ? If I just leave it for a while it boots up by itself? [16:48] hi. I chose the wrong program for a file association in chromium and now cant change it. I disabled it in gconf-editor and now cant even see it there. also when I click on a link to that file, it doesnt open [16:48] I am talking about magnet links for bit torrent [16:48] Pickleface: i don't mean options in bootloader, but later on, when booting [16:49] victor__, what release of ubuntu are you using? [16:49] Pickleface: .. i'm veeery distantly guessing from powerbutton mention that you are not shutting down, but simply powering off, which might be bad in that sense, that filesystems need checking on boot, so if very big filesystems, sometimes it might take long time [16:49] dr_willis, 11.10 desktop x64 [16:49] victor__, /etc/init.d/lightdm stop [16:49] victor__, its using lightdm is the reason. :) not gdm [16:49] aha, thanks :) [16:50] how do I change back to Windows 7 without the original installation disc by using ubuntu [16:50] grub [16:50] unless you deleted windows when installing [16:51] Church: yeah powering off [16:51] GASSYPOOTS reboot and choose W7 in the menu [16:51] Church: how do I fix it ?....... [16:51] dr_willis: just installed an x server for windows, about to try again' [16:51] hello :) How can i check when ubuntu was installed on my PC? [16:51] ryannathans, oh? which one? [16:52] 有没有说中文的？ [16:52] dig, never really noticed a 'date of install' file. :) [16:52] dr_willis: Xming === mobile__ is now known as ex0 [16:52] http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ [16:52] why does grub appear when i start it up [16:52] !cn | root_ [16:52] root_: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [16:52] Pickleface: for more speedy access filesystems cache things in ram and only ocasionally sync changes to filesystem. hence on normal shutting down changes get properly synced to disk and filesystems unmounted. <- just use normal shutdown from menu/whatever. [16:52] doesnt [16:52] 好 谢谢 [16:52] ryannathans, xming works very well. but it can be a bit confuseing to someone thats never used ssh/X/Xforwarding. but its wizard works well. [16:52] Pickleface: .. of course if filesystem check was the reason for slow boot. [16:52] or use... sudo init 0 [16:52] GASSYPOOTS, hold shift when you start [16:53] dr_willis: but there are so many logs and things... I'd be dissapointed if it can't be checked :) [16:53] tap the shift key like a tapdancer on caffine. :) [16:53] dr_willis: I'm a hardened ssh user. Never played with a gui though [16:53] that all? [16:53] dig, it's in bug reports, so there must be a log somewhere [16:53] Church: oh..okay so how do I fix it ?...... [16:53] GASSYPOOTS, if grub menu is hidden.. shift key makes it show [16:53] dlentz: yup i saw it there too but i don't want to file a bug just to see it :) [16:54] dig type ls -l /boot => the date is the installation date [16:54] gvo: thx for help. i fixed it [16:54] hi guys ! [16:55] dig type ls -l /boot/grub => the date is the installation date [16:55] hi guys, could someone help me compile this right? http://paste.pocoo.org/show/563820/ [16:56] Pickleface: i already told you. you should 1st confirm if that was the case, eg. if on boot you have for very long time 'checking filesystem blablabla', then probably that's the reason. and simply use normal shutdown to prevent such problems in future instead of pressing power button. [16:56] Hmm and now to start it? :P sudo /etc/init.d/lightgdm start ? [16:56] Church: kk [16:56] eQuiNoX__ in human language, please? [16:56] MonkeyDust: dig, ls -l /boot/grub will just show contents of grub directory, that's definitely not install date (not for me at least) If I run ls -al /etc/issue for example I think that's the date I actually installed this laptop [16:56] Pickleface: i'm guessing that shutdown command shouldn't be that hard to find in whatever GUI desktop environment you use menus. [16:57] dig take oCean 's advice, it's more accurate [16:57] MonkeyDust: um, sorry. i tried compiling the code snippet in the link, with a command that ive shown in the link; i think im doing the linking part wrong. could someone check that out? [16:57] uhh shift doesnt make boot menu show up [16:58] Church: okay , thanks [16:58] hi all.Is there a way to spoof the mac address of the network card in mini-ubuntu.iso install 11.10.there is no ifconfig command === bobweaver is now known as josephmills [16:59] Howdy all. I just upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and, lo and behold, my sound has died. Can anyone offer some assistance? [16:59] eQuiNoX__, i guess you have to link to sqlite3 not just sqlite [16:59] so any other way to make win 7 / ubuntu 11.10b menu show [16:59] I managed to install the drivers after shutting down X. But how do I start it again? (using desktop 11.10 amd64) - sudo /etc/init.d/lightdmp start ? [16:59] how i can change fonts in ubuntu like Desktop,Apps ? [16:59] GASSYPOOTS, so does the sytem boot to linux? or windows? [16:59] linux [17:00] GASSYPOOTS, edit your /etc/default/grub file and have it set to always show the menu. rerun sudo-update-grub also. [17:00] velko: the sqlite related libraries i have are http://paste.pocoo.org/show/563822/ [17:00] GASSYPOOTS, if u have problem with showing the grub menu install Boot0repair [17:00] MonkeyDust: it showed january 27th but i installed ubuntu a few days ago :) ls -l /boot isn't that bad. Just search for the first file in there and it should be it [17:00] eQuiNoX__, and you don't need the /usr/include and /usr/lib parts [17:00] GASSYPOOTS, its also possible its just not seeing the windows install. 'sudo update-grub' Might show windows/detect it. and fix the hidden menu issue [17:01] for some annoying reason - if ubuntu is the only os installed. the default is to hide the grub menu. [17:01] there is only ntcfg command [17:01] !grub2 [17:01] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

Then it jumps to the boot checklist, and the last 4 lines at the bottom says "mountall plymouth disconnected *3 + plymouth blabla failed" any clues?

[17:18] Fatal error, no devices found, and therefor no screens found.... :P [17:18] winning! [17:18] dr_wills I don't have the hardware necessary for unity... [17:18] Can I revert? Because the nvidia installer made a backup of the x.conf? [17:19] superdave321, but unity is what ubuntu uses by default [17:19] victor__, the xorg.conf is the least of your worries.. if the nvidia's .run installer failed to work.. theres really not a lot i know of to do.

[17:22] Thats the suggestion I followed :( ahwell [17:22] it should be possible to stop use the propritary graphics driver and go back to the default one from command line, right? [17:22] one of them atleast, I'll bbl, thanks again. [17:22] salmiak, should be. but i never use the .run installer.. so no idea how to remove them [17:22] ok [17:22] where i can get ubuntu 12.04 free??

[17:28] Shojo: hello [17:28] I did apt-get update but I see Ubuntu installs old version of Eclipse. Why? [17:28] salmiak it's a Transformer [17:28] mintman hello [17:28] # [17:29] salmiak i guess "optimus" just mean "the best" === Shaun_ is now known as Shaun [17:30] hi mintman_ [17:30] hi [17:30] optimus = intel and nvidia gpu, which ends up being worse than just an nvidia gpu on linux [17:30] hi [17:31] i am getting error message "Permission denied" [17:31] increase your permission?

[17:32] suni_087: Are you an administrator? [17:32] velko_: in the latest ubuntu repository? [17:33] Xirrin1:yes... [17:33] how to install vga driver intel motherboard? [17:33] suni_087: I would vote not using wubi, just setup dual boot with usb flash drive or other [17:33] suni_087: aha so you get it while you are installing?? [17:33] under, no. there is no such thing as "latest" ubuntu repository. in the "current" repository. the repository you selected to install from [17:33] salmaik:yup...almost at 98% :( [17:34] suni_087: use liveCD? [17:34] thx [17:34] reduc: Which type of router? A standard home router, or enterprise/Cisco router? [17:34] so what I do to install the latest eclipse avoiding download the setup from its web site? [17:34] @Vaela:havnt tried that out [17:35] suni_087 live cd or usb is the "normal" way to install [17:35] any solution??? [17:35] probably the better way, too. [17:35] MonkeyDust: i found what i was looking for [17:35] under, maybe - i don't know. this action is not supported though. another option would be to find prepackaged version for ubuntu - from some ppa. this is also not supported. so if you want the latest and greatest, you are on your own [17:35] okay. [17:36] MonkeyDust: it's the gnome-control-center package [17:36] JohnNapster nice, but what was it again? share it with the channel, for future reference [17:36] MonkeyDust: thx..would try that out [17:36] Can anyone offer some support regarding ALSA producing no sound after upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10? [17:36] suni_087: I haven't tried with wubi myself so I don't know. but I assume there is something with the windows bootmenu that prevents ubuntu to add itself there. [17:36] i use ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and after update i can't see the wireless icon but i am connected properly.. any ideas .. ? [17:36] Phopsy in a terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M [17:36] anyone on ubuntu preecise beta 1 running unity desktop type in the Terminal gnome-control-center info [17:37] antaras, is the package "network-manager-gnome" installed? [17:37] MonkeyDust: Afraid I've already tried all that. I thought it might be a PulseAudio issue, so uninstalled that but still no joy. [17:37] velko_, how i can see ?? [17:37] anyone on ubuntu precise beta1 running unity desktop type in the Terminal gnome-control-center info and notice that it says ubuntu 12.04 LTS [17:38] not Ubuntu! [17:38] antaras, how do you install software? with synaptic? then use synaptic to check this [17:38] JohnNapster wrong channel, tell that in #ubuntu+1 [17:38] ok .. its installed [17:38] also, the "ubuntu" text is higher than the 12.04 LTS text wtf? [17:39] antaras, and what happens when you type "nm-applet" in the command line? [17:39] MonkeyDust: Yes, it was a PulseAudio problem. Reinstalling PA *apparently* resolved the problem. Utterly bizarre. By the way, is your username taken from the TV programme? [17:39] antaras, in gnome-terminal for example [17:39] Phopsy glad someone knows it :) [17:39] velko_, ** (nm-applet:6907): WARNING **: constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager. [17:39] MonkeyDust: It' [17:40] MonkeyDust: It's been an *awful* long time since I watched it, but it was utterly brilliant. Nice to have a reminder. [17:41] apakah ada orang indonesia di sini ?? [17:41] is unity part of gnome? [17:41] velko_, yes in terminal... A process of nm-applet is already running ** (nm-applet:6907): WARNING **: constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager. [17:41] JohnNapster unity = gnome3 with compiz [17:41] antaras, so you have to find out why this connection fails. because nm-applet is the graphical representation of your connection [17:41] antaras, but you don't see your connection still? [17:42] i see [17:42] thanks === hybrid is now known as blober [17:42] Files HEN HUD and are not a bit redundant? [17:42] velko_, no i cant see the wireless icon [17:42] HEN Files and HUD are not a bit redundant? [17:42] compiz is a merge of two projects: fusion and ??? [17:43] or is it the other way round [17:43] fusion is compiz + someting else [17:43] can't remember [17:43] JohnNapster: beryl? [17:43] yeah [17:43] thanks [17:43] so fusion is compiz+beryl [17:44] or is compiz = fusion+berl ? [17:44] velko_, what can i do ?? [17:45] JohnNapster: compiz fusion = compiz + beryl [17:45] ah [17:45] right [17:46] we now have compiz... is that the old compiz we knew and love? [17:46] Is it recommended to install Python 2.7.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (default one it comes with is Python 2.6.5), or will that break stuff? [17:47] JohnNapster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz says "2007 merge of the Compiz and Beryl (a fork of Compiz) communities results in "Compiz-core" (only core functionality of compiz and base plugins) and "Compiz Fusion" (the plugins, decorators, settings tools etc)" [17:47] antaras, no ideas. kill nm-applet and start it again? [17:48] irrumat0r, do you need python 2.7 for some program? [17:48] can someone help me setup an ftp file server? [17:49] velko_, ok man .. thanx :) [17:49] JohnNapster: on the other hand it says that "2009 a conference call was held between developers of Compiz, Compiz++, NOMAD and Compiz Fusion where it was decided to merge the projects together into a unified project, simply named Compiz"... I don't know much about love though.. :-) [17:50] so is compiz the latest and greatest compositing window manager? [17:50] for the X windowing system [17:50] can someone help me setup an ftp file server? [17:50] JohnNapster to me: no, i don't like compiz [17:50] why? [17:50] you like xfce better? [17:51] Last night I used update-manager to upgrade from natty to oneric. Today when I run "aptitude -f install" I get this: http://www.chaosreigns.com/tmp/brokenpackages.txt How do I resolve this mess? Attempting to remove qdbus doesn't help, it's not installed. (I've been using debian/ubuntu for probably about 10 years.) [17:51] I don't use compositing at all so about greatest.... well I don't know....... :-D [17:51] does anyone know how to test if my server will relay emails from anyone? [17:51] i want users to be registered before it relays [17:52] you don't like fancy stuff on your screen then :) [17:52] AcidRain: Google search for open relay test? [17:52] JohnNapster i don't [17:53] so if i were to remove compiz from my system... would i be left with a bare console? [17:53] JohnNapster: Nah, just no window borders [17:54] JohnNapster you could use gnome fallback [17:54] gnome-fallback ? [17:54] JohnNapster: as little fancy and animations as possible is what I prefer yes. the operatingsystem/desktopenvironment/windowmanager should be as little eye-catching as possible. I did like compiz zoom-function though.... I haven't found an ok non-compiz desktopzoom. [17:55] isn't xfce another windowind manager? [17:55] wow [17:55] dlentz: well, a lot of stuff I'm downloading use modules that become part of the standard library as of 2.7.2 which aren't there in 2.6.5, and that's the lastest version of Python 2 so... [17:55] i just setup a mail server in about 45 seconds... [17:55] velko_, are you here ?? [17:56] with no relay access [17:56] yep [17:56] dlentz: but I've found success so far just getting the modules I need from pip [17:56] antaras, yes [17:56] guess not [17:56] JohnNapster: yes. XFCE is a window manager. Xubuntu is not neccearly "lighter" than the gnome thing when it comes to ubuntu I believe though [17:57] xfce is a desktop environment, just like unit, but xfce is very lightweight [17:57] unit = unity [17:57] antaras, but not for very much longer. i'm waiting for my washing machine to finish and i'm going to drink beer [17:58] irrumat0r, choosing the default version of python is easy with the alternatives system [17:58] velko_, ok :) if you can check this [17:58] http://pastebin.com/S9Ut8NKp [17:58] xubuntu has xfce installed by default [17:58] velko_, http://pastebin.com/xsC3pKyV [17:58] word dlentz [17:58] so you can make 2.6.5 the default and run python 2.7.x programs with "python2.7 " [17:58] thanks! [17:58] that's why the X in ubuntu [17:58] JohnNapster: yeah sorry. xfce is the desktop environment, xfce's window manager is called xfwm [17:58] that's why the X in Xubuntu [17:59] antaras, what about it? [17:59] dr_willis: Is it illegal to lookup the ip adress of the service provider ur attached to my ip tracer or ip tracker? [17:59] velko_, where is my wlan0 ?? [17:59] im connect with wifi now and my wifi card isnt here .. [17:59] antaras, can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces? [18:00] salmiak: are you perhaps nolaunchpad? [18:00] on launchpad [18:00] antaras, and maybe the output of "sudo iwconfig" [18:00] dr_willis: I thoght service providers have to make legally publizied ip adresses [18:01] i am on a netbook right now... is there any ubuntu version targeted for the netbook spacifically? [18:02] lubuntu ? [18:02] i am on a system with only 4 GB SSD [18:02] JohnNapster, unity is the closest but no actual netbook version [18:02] and the standard ubuntu is kind of heavy [18:03] Fyodorovna, use Xmonad. [18:03] JohnNapster: launchpad? that is the bug tracking website right? I don't think I've used that no. not so I remembere any login anyway. [18:03] unity? [18:03] Fyodorovna, If you can Handle it. [18:03] I "upgraded" to ubuntu studio from vanilla using this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu Now my audio is not working. how do I get it back? [18:03] launchpad is project-hosting websit [18:04] it hosts ubuntu as well and all the packages... [18:04] Something like GitHub or SourceForge.. [18:04] i thought you were a dev [18:04] JohnNapster: you should try Lubuntu perhaps, it should be the lightest ubuntu distribution I believe. shouldn't eat too much disk space either. it uses LXDE desktop environment instead. [18:05] satyanash, read the posts, if you can handle it. :) [18:05] do you happen to know how to make a bootable usb key with Lubuntu on it ? [18:05] Fyodorovna, Haha.. [18:06] i don't have a CD-ROM in this netbook === companion is now known as Companion [18:06] satyanash, personally I have net met a open source I could not run, but thanks for your concern. :) [18:06] velko_, disconnected sorry .. tell me again [18:07] what r u want to paste ?? [18:07] JohnNapster: no, but google knows: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-lubuntu-on-a-flash-drive-using-windows/ :-D [18:07] Fyodorovna, I was talking to JohnNapster, actually. And by Handling I meant changing the default configging for Xmonad can be slightly complex for begineners. [18:07] Fyodorovna, But you probably knew that.. :) [18:08] antaras, please pastebin the content of /etc/network/interfaces and the output of "sudo iwconfig". and do it quick - the machine is done :) [18:08] salmiak: i'm on ubuntu precise right now [18:08] i wanna put lubuntu from ubuntu on a usb key and make the key bootable [18:09] will pendrive do the job? [18:09] velko_, only this on interface auto lo [18:09] iface lo inet loopback [18:09] fidl [18:10] sorry [18:10] antaras, what does this mean? you have only lo in interfaces? [18:10] velko_, http://pastebin.com/fSnxPW4H [18:10] i dont have idea .. [18:11] salmiak: your link instructs to do that from within windows [18:11] antaras, ok - eth1 is your wireless card [18:11] wylde: are you here? [18:11] JohnNapster: oh.. sorry. I just did a quick search with google. there must certainly be similar program for linux yes [18:12] i know it is [18:12] antaras, connected to "Free spot ... ;-)". maybe for this reason network manager does not recognize it? maybe it expects wlan0? but this is only a speculation [18:12] antaras, sorry dude - i'm off now [18:12] JohnNapster, you can use the tool in 'precise' too [18:12] i used one when i installed this precise beta1 [18:12] but it didn't had the option to create a bootable usb stick for the lubuntu os [18:12] Hey guys, when my laptop screen blanks the backlight stays on. Making it kinda power hungry. Any way to turn that off as well? [18:13] velko_, thanx man anyway :) [18:13] OerHeks: you mean the startup disk creator ? [18:13] The answer to my question about my broken packages appears to be: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/831768 - aptitude is completely broken on oneric and precise. WTF? [18:13] Launchpad bug 831768 in aptitude (Ubuntu Precise) "aptitude cannot handle conflicts with multiarch enabled" [High,Triaged] [18:13] JohnNapster, yes [18:14] JohnNapster: yep, what's up? [18:14] i'll try [18:14] thanks [18:14] wylde: which font does the gnome-control-center use ? [18:14] my unitys randomly keeps crashing when i press alt-tab. i can re-run unity by dropping the console, but it started to get annoying. [18:14] JohnNapster, if you have issues creating, then you better join #Ubuntu+1 for precise support. [18:15] Ubuntu or Ubuntu bold [18:15] yay i have 1 fully operational server! [18:15] JohnNapster: the ubuntu logo is lower case... look through the wikik titles etc. It's deliberate not a typo [18:15] that "ubuntu 12.04 LTS" bold sign [18:15] wiki* [18:15] so it's an image? [18:16] i see [18:16] JohnNapster: yep, it's part of a png [18:16] that's why the "ubuntu" text is a little bit higher than the remaining "12.04 LTS" one [18:16] i see [18:16] wunnle, what videocard do you use, and did you install drivers for it? [18:17] nice to know === cds is now known as thechris [18:17] hello, If i want to aces the maps on a special computer with xp i get the message "can't find list for shared maps" - i can acces the folders on another xp [18:17] al are in the same intranet [18:18] Help, Firefox is now black background with black text. [18:18] 'special computer with xp'.. how is that different from the other xp? [18:18] OerHeks, unfortnately, i have a damn optimus thing. dual videocards, GT540m and Intel. i removed driver of nvidia, so ubuntu uses intel now. [18:19] Guido1: this is ubuntu channel [18:19] wunnle, ahhh you have optimus, please look at Bumblebee , and there is also a #Bumblebee channel, those guys are up2date [18:19] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [18:20] OerHeks, on freenode network, right? [18:20] This is actually very annoying [18:20] I'm pretty sure apt broke this [18:20] There really needs to be an apt undo [18:20] thechris: i agree. i could of sworn that one time someone in this channel gave me a command to fix things like this [18:21] wylde: i have another question for you [18:21] i have a question regarding my PS1 [18:21] wunnle, yes [18:21] lol ps1 [18:21] AcidRain: perhaps that is the reason why i can't add the printer from the xp on ubuntu, but for another xp can find the printer, if i enter the part. do you know a lot about conectin network printers? [18:21] I just did PS1="\e[0;31m[\W]\$ \e[m " [18:22] and this causes the cli to behave strangely.. [18:22] OerHeks, i spend hours on this channel to install a proper bumblebee on my last ubuntu installation. On this installation, a friend mine suggested to install nvidia driver, so it would work without problems with intel one. Is that a lie :P ? [18:22] wylde: how can i get the currently installed version of ubuntu in a python script ? [18:22] Guido1: i know that ubuntu can handle just about any type of external usb device that you through at it out of box [18:22] all i wanted was to change the color and only display relative path of present directory [18:22] *uninstall [18:22] what did I do wrong? [18:22] Guido1: it handled my neural impulse actuator pretty well :) [18:23] wunnle, i do not own an Optimus, i believe all you need is the graphic-card switcher to make nvidia work properly [18:23] wunnle: u need hax [18:23] AcidRain, what is that? [18:23] wunnle, it is far from perfect, it still uses a double xorg [18:23] wylde: so if i have a string "You are running Ubuntu %s" % version [18:23] Updating firefox doens't help [18:24] anone else knows this? [18:24] Also, firefox doens't send any messages to teh console [18:24] anyone else knows this? [18:24] wunnle: hax: n Something deemed unfair or unexpectedly unfavorable. Could be used to accuse someone of using cheating/hacking/some sort of trickery to accomplish something, usually jokingly. [18:24] AcidRain: perhaps it is easyer if i give the computers a name. computer "1": xp with printer; computer "2": xp using printer from 1; computer "3": ubuntu and i want to print via computer 1, but it does not work [18:24] hey guys [18:24] if i have a Python string "You are running Ubuntu %s" % version --- how to get that version number of currently installed ubuntu? [18:25] version = ?? [18:25] JohnNapster: check lsb_release [18:25] lsb_release [18:25] JohnNapster, you had that answer before, didn't you? [18:25] Guido1: let me get this straight here. im not a big person on printers. but i thought with a network printer it pretty much pulls up a web interface? [18:25] the printer has its own ip address and what not [18:26] OerHeks: yeah, and i can't use this thing [18:26] Its almost like one of firefox's dependencys was uninstalled [18:26] is there anyway to fix this? [18:26] AcidRain:: if i want to see the shared folders on "2" and "3" it is possible with every computer; if i want to see the shared folders on computer 1 it does not work - i only can see the computer [18:26] If I have Realterk 8168C drivers which are for kernel v 2.4 and 2.6 will they work on Ubuntu 11.10? [18:27] No LSB modules are available. [18:27] AcidRain: I have one printer, a local network and difrent computers. al printer sheel use the same printer [18:27] if i do No LSB modules are available. [18:27] Guido1: that sounds like a netbios issue from like 1990 ^_^ [18:27] Because I already tried running the included 'autorun.sh', but I get an error message something like 'unload driver first' [18:27] if i do lsb_release No LSB modules are available. [18:27] JohnNapster: I was afk, what's up? [18:27] if i have a Python string "You are running Ubuntu %s" % version --- how to get that version number of currently installed ubuntu? [18:27] AcidRain: do you have any idea how to fix? [18:27] JohnNapster: -a [18:27] Guido1: no lol [18:28] cat /etc/lsb-release [18:28] JohnNapster: have a look at /usr/bin/lsb_release [18:29] AcidRain: with xp i can use the printer on the strange computer by using the network path \\servername\printername === Guest73666 is now known as Aranel [18:29] wylde: i am fixing a string in update-manager package and i want to say "These software updates were issued since Ubuntu %s was released" % version" [18:30] i cn't do version = lsb_release in a script like that [18:30] AcidRain: but if i try it with ubuntu it seams quite strange. ubuntu askes me which treiber i want to instal. (from difrent fabricants) [18:30] and i just need the number part of the version [18:30] JohnNapster: like i said look at /usr/bin/lsb_release, probably find what you want in there [18:30] like "12.04" or "11.10" etc. [18:31] AcidRain: i also recognissed that the computer apears as a professional in the network, but if i look on the computer itselfe it says home === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [18:31] JohnNapster: something like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/877869/ ? [18:32] lsb_release -r Release: 12.04 i only need the "12.04 part" and not the "Release: " part [18:32] oh, JUST the number... [18:32] hang on [18:32] Any ideas on why my clock won't show 24 hour time in 12.04 with classic desktop? [18:32] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4375930/zapfire.png [18:33] JohnNapster: http://paste.ubuntu.com/877873/ [18:33] lsb_release -r Release: 12.04 i only need the "12.04 part" and not the "Release: " part how can i get that? [18:33] JohnNapster: lsb_release -rs [18:33] man lsb_release [18:33] okay let me see [18:33] Firefox has black text on a black background, even for the menu [18:33] Hi [18:33] how do i install minimum ubuntu, i want the smallest disk space footprint possible but with some kind of graphical desktop and browser, i tried mini.iso but the footprint is still 1.5GB [18:34] for some reason, attempting to install software has broken firefox === sergiusens_ is now known as sergiusens [18:34] Kaizen: do you want to install it or try it out ? [18:34] Kaizen: I'm not sure that Ubuntu is what you want for the smallest footprint. There are otyher distros that specialise in small footprints [18:34] p1rate install to virtualbox hard disk [18:34] Kaizen, so be it. you were here before with the same Q, 2 Gb is too big? [18:35] well i like ubuntu, surely there's a way to get it down to 500MB [18:35] Kaizen: I really doubt you can get it down under 500M [18:35] Kaizen: what if you install it and then you uninstall everything you dont need [18:36] hello. can anybody help me please with mounting? [18:36] i cant mount my ntfs hdd( [18:37] Kaizen: even lubuntu needs more than that. [18:37] hmm maybe if i install the server version and then just add bits in i need? i haven't tried that yet [18:37] i'll try that [18:37] it's the desktop that adds the space [18:38] tes [18:38] Kaizen: if you what a simple distro you might want to take a look at arch or smt like that [18:38] Kaizen: server needs 1gb to install according to the requirements page [18:38] Kaizen: there are distros like damnsmalllinux, or puppy that specialise in small installs. This isn't where Ubuntu is aimed at [18:38] i tried 10 other distro's most give same problem except Slitaz but i can't install it to disk [18:39] ericus: gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime time-format '24-hour'; also further 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 [18:39] after update to kernel 3.0.0.16 the fan of my pc is extremelly noise... can anyone help me? [18:39] Kaizen: what problem? [18:39] p1rate disk size [18:40] the grub isnt reading my quiet splash settings anymore... [18:40] trism: thanks, will check that out! [18:42] awesome trism, worked just perfect! Thanks again [18:42] go8765 [18:42] so I was wondering if Ubuntu can be installed without the use of a traditional keyboard. [18:42] Firefox still displays black text on a black background. [18:43] How do I fix this? [18:43] Dustfang: and use what a virtual one? [18:43] even the menu is black [18:44] I tried to install, then uninstall the amazon mp3 downloader, but this hasn't worked [18:44] and now I can't use firefox [18:44] Dustfang: you can probably do something witha tool like kickstart [18:44] Does anyone know why the menus, text, and background are black in firefox? [18:45] either that, or a bluetooth. though I doubt the BT drivers would work before its installed. I've got a tablet at the moment, so it's got a bluetooth keyboard, but not a usb. Didn't want to drop money on another keyboard unless I needed to. [18:45] ericus: ? [18:47] go8765: see private msg [18:48] Ist there a way to see if a package is installed? [18:49] like apt-get installed pkg [18:49] thechris apt-cache policy [18:50] Hello. How can I boot Ubuntu without any GUI starting? [18:51] MonkeyDust: thanks [18:52] hello, I am new in xubuntu. I would like to know if any hav had any issues with slow play, lagging videos with youtube? [18:52] derpella: you can type alt control f1 to have a cli [18:52] avion try this http://www.youtube.com/html5 [18:53] should I download another software to watch in html5? === max is now known as Guest87847 [18:53] P1rate: this is not what I want :) [18:54] avion try vlc [18:54] wylde: lsb_release -rs does output "12.04" which is great in a console... but not in a Python script, i.e. version = lsb_release -rs in a Python script ????? [18:54] thanks very much Monkey [18:55] you can't do version = lsb_release -rs in a python script [18:55] any other suggestions? [18:55] JohnNapster: the lsb_release is actually a python script, that's why I told you to look at it. [18:55] one more question, if i install vlc, should i save the videos separetaly or just whatch them in the firefox navif¡gator? [18:56] it is??? [18:56] hmmm [18:56] JohnNapster: gedit /usr/bin/lsb_release [18:56] ah, thanks [18:56] JohnNapster: yep [18:59] distinfo = lsb_release.get_distro_information() === derpella is now known as Butch_McHairytes [19:00] distinfo.get('RELEASE', 'n/a') [19:00] JohnNapster: why are you posting that here? [19:00] that's all well but this is all from the lsb_release module [19:00] do you happen to know where is it located? === Kaizen is now known as gh0zt [19:01] wylde: do you happen to know? [19:01] JohnNapster: not offhand [19:01] Hello all. Not ubuntu-specific, but...when I have stdout written to a term and I have vim open, how do I redraw vim so I can get back to working on my document? === gh0zt is now known as Kaizen [19:02] wylde: the script that you offered me imports from the lsb_release module [19:02] i really need to see how lsb_release module gets the version string of a distro in python code [19:03] JohnNapster: possibly /urs/share/pyshared or /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages [19:03] hello i need an android channel.... but i can't enter it... i need help.... anyone with a rooted phone? [19:04] i need infos... [19:04] thank you [19:04] please i need some help with my grub [19:04] my pc is overheating after install kernel 3.0.0.16 [19:05] renemoraes, how are those too related? [19:05] and its not reading my "quiet splash pcie_aspm=force" command at the boot [19:05] escott: i used to turn off my radeon ati graphics card on my grub using the pcie_aspm command [19:05] pipper: that's offtopic here, /join #android channel [19:05] renemoraes, did you run grub-update after modifying /etc/default/grub [19:06] hi [19:06] escott: yes! i dont know the reason but the line isnt being reading [19:06] ha! lsb_relese is a python module... can you guys tell me how can i locate it? [19:06] renemoraes, the !paste your default/grub [19:06] lsb_release.__file__ perhaps? [19:06] oCean, can't... need +r [19:06] i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table is it possible to fix this with out re installing? [19:07] i am setting proxy in terminal, should i put "export http_proxy http://x.x.x.x:8080" or "export http_proxy x.x.x.x:8080" in ~/.bashrc? [19:07] JohnNapster: /usr/bin/lsb_release: a /usr/bin/python script, ASCII text executable [19:07] escott: what u mean?

[19:07] renemoraes, sorry dropped a "please !paste the" [19:08] ok [19:09] escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/877917/ [19:09] is there possible to create video dvd with password ? [19:09] exit [19:10] renemoraes, ok. that looks ok, can you rerun sudo update-grub and then !paste the /boot/grub/grub.cfg [19:10] i am a genius! [19:10] escott: sure [19:11] skmsmslk, you could gpg encrypt your file [19:11] JohnNapster: chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [19:11] i donot any thing about encrypt ? [19:12] escott: thanks in advance escott! http://paste.ubuntu.com/877921/ [19:13] skmsmslk, you cannot create a dvd that has a password and is playable on a dvd player (at least ive never heard of such a thing) you can take arbitrary files and encrypt them with gpg and put then transfer/archive the encrypted file [19:14] my partition table seems to be broken or corrupt HELP [19:14] or is there possible to create the password for dvd so that no one can copy it ? [19:14] renemoraes, if you reboot now "cat /proc/cmdline" should list the kernel pcie aspm arg among others. the only reason it would not is if your boot partition is not actually controlling the boot (ie you have another linux install with its own grub in the mbr) [19:15] skmsmslk, no. you should encrypt the files you put on the dvd, and treat it as a data dvd [19:15] hi rhez [19:15] sup [19:15] how does encrypt work on it ? [19:16] thank you [19:16] escott: nope. i dont have another linux install.. i have a partition with windows 7.. but i used to have it before updating my kernel === Companion is now known as companion [19:16] thank who? [19:17] escott: when i use cat /proc/cmdline it shows that the args are being reading [19:17] How do you fix the Firefox "well this is embarrasing" message when starting Ubuntu 11.10? === Xeneth is now known as xeneth === xeneth is now known as xEneth === xEneth is now known as xeNeth === xeNeth is now known as xenEth === xenEth is now known as xeneTh [19:18] donsd: I think you just need to shut firefox down properly, i.e. don't kill it [19:18] renemoraes, then the args are being passed to the kernel [19:18] escott: yeah.. thats the problem... anyway.. thanks! [19:19] muelli, no, after proper shutdown. From command line or icon. [19:19] skmsmslk, on the cli type gpg -c -e filename and it will ask for a password and then create a file with a .gpg extension which can only be decrypted with that password === xeneTh is now known as Xeneth [19:20] Many report Firefox on Google, but I have not found solution. [19:20] donsd: well. It shouldn't show it. If it does, you might have set the start page to that "embarrasing" page. [19:21] does it help in copying the video file ? [19:21] muelli, no, not specific to url. [19:22] i had some issues with gparted seeing the partitions but the computer boots fine and i can now read the partition table but gparted cant read the table is it possible to fix this with out re installing? [19:23] anyone have a reference to the requirement that the mx record must be an IP not hostname? [19:24] skmsmslk, you evidently dont understand how encryption/passwords work. so maybe if you tell us what you want to do we can tell you how to do it [19:25] hello how can i make my computer headless? i dont want gnome or any X things to start when i start my computer. but how? === antaras_ is now known as antaras [19:25] hanasaki: maybe #postfix [19:26] ah [19:26] thanks [19:26] !nox | Kayleeeeee [19:26] Kayleeeeee: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [19:26] oh, thanks! :D [19:26] yes u r right i had never use it before but will u pls tell me syntax to write it in terminal i.e give some exampls ! === aarcane__ is now known as aarcane [19:29] skmsmslk, suppose i have a file "secrets.txt" and I want to encrypt it with a password then I type gpg -c secrets.txt and it will ask for a password. it will create secrets.txt.gpg at which point I can remove the secrets.txt file. now this is not the best way to encrypt things. there are better ways that involve keyfiles and the like, but thats a very simple approach [19:30] hey [19:30] iceroot: thanks... exim and postfix are dead quiet [19:30] i want to know is there a program for drawing web site design. I mean i make a web site and i will design it i need to do some demonstration like an image is there a program for that [19:31] skmsmslk, the best encryption method takes into account who you want to share the data with, and who your adversaries are etc.. [19:31] hellyeah, gimp,inkscape [19:33] hellyeah you want komposer [19:33] gimp.inkscape [19:33] hellyeah website design [19:33] does it mean that after encrypt i have to keep .txt and add .txt.gpg to burn ? [19:34] yeah for example i want to design home page to show i make your web design like that [19:34] it is like just an image for demonstration [19:34] and they say it is okey we like this design i will code it [19:35] skmsmslk, no you would remove the secrets.txt that is called "plaintext" and anyone can read it. you would archive/email the ciphertext file secrets.txt.gpg only someone who knows the password (or is willing to try all the possible password combinations) will be able to recover the plaintext [19:35] but first i need to show an image of web page design i hope you understand what my intension is [19:36] i am using ubuntu and what program can i use for that i wonder [19:36] gimp would be it hellyeah [19:37] after burn , does dvd player can read it ? [19:37] r u want make some wireframes [19:37] skmsmslk, obviously if you pick an easily guessed or very short password, then your adversary will be able to find the password more quickly and the security will be limited. real security comes with keyfiles which are long strings of random numbers and you protect that keyfile, but depending on who your adversary is that may or may not be necessary. and if your security is too strong the adversary might throw you in prison if it is a go [19:37] vernment or break your legs if its a criminal enterprise or both where those two interesect. so there is a tradeoff and you have to think about what you need [19:37] hellyeah, if you are looking for a image program to "propose" a website design [19:38] propose === guampa|2 is now known as guampa [19:38] hellyeah, then gimp or inkwell [19:38] hi there :) [19:38] inkwell hmm [19:38] skmsmslk, if you mean DVD player as in "DVD player connected to a TV" then NO, that is not possible, you will not be able to do that. if you mean will I be able to open this on another computer, then YES. [19:39] there is no such program inkwell i didnt find anything on ubuntu repos [19:40] i mis spoke [19:40] aloha, salut a tute le monde =P [19:40] my partition table seems to be broken or corrupt HELP i would like to fix this with out reinstall [19:41] Can anyone help me. I have a canon mp640 to install on an ubuntu [19:41] cr34tix: what have you tried so far? [19:42] 12.04, my pidgin is hanging after start :( [19:42] hello [19:42] not much, cause i am a beginner on ubuntu. i need someone, who can do this with me step by step [19:42] thank buddy but still my moto is to run it on both dvd player or another computer but i donot want to share it ! [19:43] i have installed google chrome as an alternative browser but each time i start it up, it asks for a certain code to unlock [19:43] how can i skip this? [19:43] piotr_kuna: help for 12.04 is in #ubuntu+1 channel [19:43] oCean, thx [19:44] SHOVELL: some time ago, i found a tutorial fixin partition tables with "testdisk" but i never tryied [19:44] How can I get xampp from the software center? [19:44] well, if it's not in the software center, you can;t get it from there [19:45] !xampp | elijah [19:45] elijah: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [19:45] curiousx, i did that to get the partition table to the point that it could be read [19:45] skmsmslk, you cannot. how would you even enter the password into the dvd player. no dvd player supports this. connect your pc to the tv instead [19:45] Hi, I'm trying to build a package that uses "./autogen.sh", but I'm getting these errors: http://dpaste.com/714716/plain/ Any ideas why that is? [19:46] SHOVELL: but is not fix it enough? [19:46] I've installed the autotools package [19:46] savid, the standard disclaimer applies here... "have you checked that the software is not in APT. have you looked for a PPA. do you know how to use checkinstall or --prefix directories?" [19:47] yes u r right , i am getting this point ! [19:48] it's interesting that standard pc serial ports get assigned a port address and irq but usb serial ports converters don't (according to dmesg) - i'm still trying to figure out how to get the usb serial port converters to work - why don't they get a port address and irq automatically? [19:48] hi dudes [19:48] escott, yeah, there's a PPA for this but I need to use a specific version that's not in the PPA. I'm not familiar w/ checkinstall, and I've tried --prefix=/usr [19:49] dmesg sees ttyUSB0 but doesn't show a port address or irq setting [19:49] escott, I'm not able to get past ./autogen.sh so checkinstall wouldn't really even help [19:49] savid, you definitely dont want to prefix to /usr. it should be prefixed to /usr/local/bin or /opt depending upon your preference. install something to /usr and you stomp on your system binaries and libraries and break your box [19:49] is there any way to get back gnome-panel like ubuntu 10.04 [19:49] i want to add something to my gnome-apenl like system monitor [19:49] i dont like the new panel appearence in ubuntu 11.10 [19:50] hellyeah, no [19:50] escott, well, whatever I use for the prefix I get the same result [19:50] escott: lol, guess he didn't like that answer [19:50] escott, it seems as if the autoconf directory does not get created, which is why these errors are coming up. I'm just not familiar enough with autoconf internals to know what is normally responsible for creating that directory. [19:50] i am a genius! [19:51] KM0201, i've got join/part hidden so i didnt notice [19:51] why ? [19:51] JohnNapster: enough. stop it [19:51] but i am! [19:51] escott: :) [19:51] yeah! [19:51] you're a genius man [19:51] Leo_: do you have an actual support question? [19:52] if not, chit chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic channel [19:52] no [19:52] savid, im not too familiar with autotools, and i have to get going, so im not much help in the actual problem, just wanted to warn you not to install to /usr [19:52] i dont know what is this [19:52] hey [19:52] is there any way to get back gnome-panel like ubuntu 10.04 [19:52] i want to add something to my gnome-apenl like system monitor [19:52] i dont like the new panel appearence in ubuntu 11.10 [19:52] hellyeah: you were told "NO" already [19:52] savid, try `automake --add-missing` [19:52] hellyeah, no. the gnome2 panel is gone. there are things that look like it, and there is xubuntu those are your choices [19:52] well hellyeah. You can use the GNOME3 fallback mode. [19:52] !nounity | hellyeah [19:52] hellyeah: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [19:53] I GOT A QUESTION [19:53] n [19:53] uh captain caps is hee [19:53] here [19:53] hellyeah, you should check the extensions.gnome.org website if you are using gnome3 maybe your missing experience can be found there [19:53] how can i fuck some bitches ? [19:53] lol [19:53] pfifo: deserves no comment, thanks [19:53] haha [19:55] I want to give ubuntu-vm-builder a .deb and it should build an appliance out of that. Right now, it doesn't seem to be possible, because it only takes package name. Does anybody have a suggestion? [19:55] pfifo, here's what I get: http://dpaste.com/714724/plain/ [19:56] savid, try `autoreconf` and also can you pastebin the output of `find` from that directory [19:56] how to decrypt the file ? [19:56] skmsmslk, gpg -d filename.gpg [19:57] why are applications repeated 25 times in the GNOME "Open With" dialog? After 15 years they still haven't figured this out ... ? [19:57] /join #surfer [19:57] hey, I ran out of room on my Ubuntu partition and gpart won't let me increase the size, I'm fairly new to Linux but I'm starting to consider reinstalling on the whole drive (replacing Win7) is this advisable? [19:58] heh. Replacing Window is indeed advisable ;-) [19:58] imrobert, are you trying to increase from within ubuntu or from a livecd. [19:58] imrobert: if you're going to axe Win7 anyway, just go to Disk Utility, delete the Win7 partition, create a new ext4 partition and mount it somewhere where you need more space [19:58] escott from a cd [19:58] unless you installed from WUBI, in which case yeah, reinstall. [19:59] imrobert, and is there free space at the end of the partition? [19:59] vexati0n well I only installed yesterday so it's not like I have much on there, also, I installed 32bit (cd I burned a while ago) but I'd like to install 64 this time [20:00] pfifo, http://dpaste.com/714728/plain/ [20:00] escott I'm not sure what you mean? [20:00] when i decrypt it from terminal its gone for infinite command and stopped ! [20:00] imrobert, you should keep windows, but repartition your drive in a manner that puts disk space where you need it [20:00] /join #surfer [20:00] pfifo how? [20:00] imrobert: then i'd reinstall from scratch and kill off win7 [20:00] imrobert, you could also shrink your win partition if free space on it is plentiful [20:00] gpart wouldn't let me resize it [20:00] it wasn't mounted, was it? [20:01] rebka: no space in front of the / and stop advertising your channel in here. thanks. === andy_ is now known as Guest21515 [20:01] pfifo: why would you ever tell somebody to "keep windows" ? :-P [20:01] skmsmslk, you need to redirect the output to a file gpg filename.gpg > cleartext.txt [20:02] hey [20:02] dlentz what does it mean for it to be mounted? [20:02] vexati0n: some situations it's advisable.. nobody should go cold turkey from windows to ubuntu, that's a recipe for fail [20:02] is there a package for lucidchart in ubuntu [20:02] pfifo, actually, I've found instructions. apparently I have to use autoreconf [20:02] vexati0n, because after 12 years of using linux I realize the noobish bicker of what is best is irrelevant [20:02] vexati0n, it's good to have a backup OS, be it linux or windows [20:02] hi all, can anybody help me i am running ubuntu 11.10 i have adobe flash installed but it keeps crashing when i go to mebeam.com can anybody help me ? [20:02] KM0201: I'm cold turkey on Linux.... if I need Windows, that's what virtualBox is for. [20:02] imrobert, i guess it would be better to do it within windows [20:02] never let it actually touch your hardware, it could get its cooties all over your hard drive [20:02] vexati0n: well, thats fine, but... you didn't indicate to him to keep windows in vbox. [20:02] savid, yeah, i said autoreconf. i was about to say, "that didnt work?" [20:03] How do I resize the Windows partition? [20:03] pls by an example ! [20:03] skmsmslk, if it was a really large file and is still dumping text to the screen type ctrl-c [20:03] hi all, can anybody help me i am running ubuntu 11.10 i have adobe flash installed but it keeps crashing when i go to mebeam.com can anybody help me ? [20:04] imrobert, go into windows' disk management [20:04] imrobert, wipe your hard drive completly, and repartition, its upto you on the sizes to use, but use this experience to help guide you [20:04] i came to my root ! [20:04] skmsmslk, im not sure what the example would be to encrypt "gpg -c filename;" it will ask for a password and create filename.gpg to decrypt "gpg -d filename.gpg > filename2" will ask for a password and generate filename2 [20:04] i like linux, but i would keep windows unless i was hurting for drive space [20:04] pfifo I don't have a windows recovery disk [20:05] imrobert, pirate one [20:05] pfifo, ah, I thought you said autoconf. oops :-) Oh well, seems to work now! [20:05] pfifo: we dont support that here, please stop it [20:05] imrobert: use a partition tool on CD or USB like partimage [20:05] pfifo: that is not appropriate in ubuntu channels [20:05] schnuffle I tried using gpart [20:05] schnuffle wouldn't let me [20:05] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/ [20:06] dlentz thanks [20:06] i think u r telling to do it vice-versa ! [20:06] imrobert: you have to boot from a the CD or USB not from your disk. If it fails restart Windows and do a chkdsk [20:06] schnuffle I did [20:07] imrobert: then try dlentz link [20:08] schnuffle yeah that's what I'm doing now [20:08] imrobert: good luck [20:08] imrobert: and do a backup of your data before [20:09] schnuffle I have my important docs backed up with dropbox [20:09] imrobert: good to hear :) [20:09] sskjnjhksdn [20:10] <[deXter]> Hi all, my 11.10 install isn't booting up anymore.

[20:28] the system does a boot without the menu [20:28] k [20:28] waxstone: ah, thanks for the info.. i was gonna try to help him.. :) [20:28] Where is the equivalent of menu.lst? [20:28] GASSYPOOTS: what OS is installed on this machine [20:28] derpella: grub2 works different [20:28] my system doesn't have a boot menu either, so his question could be legitimate - i think people who dual boot just assume that everyone gets the menu [20:28] !grub2 >der [20:29] oops [20:29] ubuntu 11.10 and windows 7 [20:29] !grub2 > derpella [20:29] derpella, please see my private message [20:29] it auto boots ubuntu [20:29] derpella: grub2 doesn't have menu.lst, grub2 is a lot different [20:29] GASSYPOOTS: what boots when you start the machine [20:29] see above [20:29] Random832: press shift and the boot menu will appear... [20:29] tried that [20:29] GASSYPOOTS: ok, so if you hold down shift when you boot it should appear [20:29] GASSYPOOTS: ok, what happened ? [20:29] it boots like it does without it [20:30] oh.. it doesn't have a one file with all of those? [20:30] GASSYPOOTS: ok, in that case boot into ubuntu and alter the "show menu" parameter in grub to force it to show the menu [20:30] anyway, is it even supported to install windows on top of ubuntu? won't windows wipe out grub? [20:30] ? in the ubuntu foldeR [20:30] GASSYPOOTS: no, it's not a 5 minute task, but it's quite well documented, [20:31] GASSYPOOTS: one moment I'll get you the info [20:31] Random832: you can do it, but yes it will erase grub, but reinstalling grub will be fairly easy.. the bigger issue, is Windows seems to always want to take the whole drive w/o any input from you (at least in my experience) [20:32] KM0201, you can specify the size of the partition, windows does support dual booting mutiple windows OS [20:32] pfifo: i'lll take your word for it, i just remember this issue back in the day w/ XP [20:33] if that is indeed the case, then all you'll need to do is reinstall grub, which is easy [20:33] bootmgr.exe.mui? [20:33] GASSYPOOTS: if you look at the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg [20:34] GASSYPOOTS: you should see GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT [20:34] does anyone know how I can get a Windows recovery disk? [20:35] so I can switch fully to Ubuntu and set up windows in a virtual box [20:35] imrobert: did you nuke your recovery partition? [20:35] i dont have the cfg [20:35] KM0201 what do you mean?

[20:35] then I can't help you I'm afraid [20:36] wait a sec [20:36] imrobert: since you have a legit copy of Windows (i'm assuming anyway)... get the key for it (use magic jelly been key finder)... then go to the internet, and try to find a torrent for the ISO file of your version of windows, use that ISO to install inside vbox, but use your key.

[20:40] icedtea, yes [20:40] KM0201: the problem is picking up random images from the net doesn't mean it will work with the key, (many CD releases) best to contact microsoft for the correct cd to match his key [20:40] ikonia: of course..

[21:10] hello folks, on my laptop, the wifi seems to slow to a chug, until i initiate a reconnect, then it works for a while at full speed, then drops to a crawl again (about 1mbit vs full g speed), the internal wifi is using the rtl8192ce module [21:10] I used this instruction: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Creating_the_Custom_Menu and I have file like this: http://pastebin.com/P7W6JLsL What should I write to make the system boot without any window manager? [21:10] sorry, meant that for +1 [21:12] derpella, you need to add 'text' to the kernel line in /etc/default/grub... the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT entry [21:13] derpella, and then run sudo update-grub [21:13] pfifo: it does nothing [21:13] oh [21:13] :D [21:13] thanks [21:13] hello [21:13] i have a little problem with wine, can anybody help me ? [21:13] (excuse my english please, i am french) [21:13] sup [21:14] haha, french having problem with wine :-) [21:14] Is there a way to just restore ubuntu back to default settings like a fresh install... without doing a new install?

One of my volume groups (that only has one HD) can't mount. If I try to mount it manually it says mount: /dev/mapper/SHARED-srv already mounted or /srv busy.

[21:23] lampe2, if you 'support yourself' both are pretty easy [21:23] Hello. Does anybody know if the clock in the top panel automatically adjusts to Daylight Saving Time? [21:23] ryan__, yes it will [21:24] pfifo: DST begins at 2am doesn't it? [21:24] Viking667, evince uses them. pdf & misc document viewer [21:24] pfifo, i got always problems with my ati 5770 [21:24] ryan__, for US easter time it does, i know that [21:25] pfifo: Thanks! [21:26] TeamColtra: no, it shouldn't [21:26] lampe2, for the first few months I had my nvidia, I had alot of trouble, but after I learned every detail of the software and hardware, it became a simple task to install/setup/configure [21:26] i got a question how can i run ubuntu 11.10 as smooth as possible on acer aspire one windows 7 starter [21:28] luisr, by using the desktop livecd, its impossible to break, except maybe physically stepping on it [21:28] well im running it already but its a bit laggy [21:29] luisr, just how smooth you looking for? there are very lightweight desktop environments, but you'll lose features as you go more lightweight. icewm is very lightweight, but possibly too much so. i'd suggest xfce [21:29] luisr, you say 'as smooth as possible' but if you really wanted to you could do away with graphics altogether. i doubt that's what you want though [21:30] Bodsda, why "shouldn't" it? It seems kinda silly to have to do a fresh install from CD/USB when it seems like it could be done from the computer itself. :P Smart Phones have "restore to factory default" why can't my OS? [21:30] pfifo, but it should be easy to install for the every day user ;) [21:30] im running gnome classic and i like it it just lags sometimes when i run the software center [21:30] luisr, you can use grub2's iso boot feature to boot it from the disk drive, thats a big speed up, if you have 2+GB of ram you can also use the 'toram' option to copy the iso to a ramdisk (this runs extremly fast) [21:30] luisr, try xfce [21:30] TeamColtra: see my pm :) [21:31] what is gub2's sorry im a noob [21:31] lampe2, opening your computer and installing a high end video card is not something an everyday user would normally do [21:31] !grub | luisr [21:31] luisr: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [21:32] luisr, install xfce, then log out and choose xfce as your login session [21:33] lampe2, one thing I must point out though, is nvidia cards now have the new nouveau driver, and it is installed on ubuntu by default [21:33] would that interfere with windows if i still want to boot it [21:34] luisr, no [21:34] luisr, your on a livecd, so installing xfce most likely will not work, if you want to try it, get the xubuntu livecd [21:35] well yeah, that's for after you install [21:35] though it actually can work fine on livecd [21:35] all depends on how much memory you have to spare [21:36] So, I moved my server to my new flat last weekend, all went well. A couple of days later, my server just died - don't know why, but it did. It will boot, as far as getting just a flashing cursor on a blank screen. I can boot an ubuntu CD as far as the menu, but when I select either "run" or "install" it does the same thing with the cursor. The drive is okay, I plugged it into another box and fsck'd it - all okay. A [21:36] nybody have any idea what might be happening? [21:37] Guinness2702, try running memcheck86 [21:38] pfifo - oh yeah, forgot to say, I also was able to run memcheck off the disk, and let it do the first couple of passes with no trouble [21:38] how do I find the package that contains GL/glx.h for compiling? In the Ubuntu Software Center, no "OpenGL" packages show up. [21:39] Guinness2702, start removing hardware until it can boot a livecd/usb [21:39] gridbag, the program 'apt-file' can do that [21:39] pfifo - the only thing removable is memory and cpu, unless you want me to dig out the soldering iron :\ [21:40] <_Brun0_> I installed ubuntu minimal install with alternate CD + i3 tiling window manager. how can I set x background image? [21:40] pfifo - it's a little mini-ITX system I use as a server - it's practially all in one [21:40] Guinness2702, can it boot another operating system? [21:40] Hi I'm having trouble install webmin on a ubuntu 10.04 server. [21:41] pfifo, not got any to hand :\ [21:41] I guess I could drum up a windoze disk from somewhere....maybe [21:41] !webmin | ironfoot495 [21:41] ironfoot495: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [21:42] Guinness2702, your problem is a tough one to solve, im out of ideas [21:43] is there another option to webmin [21:43] how can I apt-get to determine if there are packages that need to be updated? it appears the -u switch is supposed to do this, but it doesn't do what I expect [21:43] pfif: what is ubuntu's substisute for webmin? [21:43] pfifo - yeah, me too :( The only think I can think of is that it's a little warm in this new place, and it's a fanless system, but I don't get why it can run memtest or the ubuntu live cd menu, and then not boot :\ [21:43] pfifo - if it was fried, i wouldn't expect it to be so selective [21:44] waxstone, ironfoot495, ubuntu isnt the ideal server OS imo, go with fedora if you want webmin [21:44] pfifo: isnt fedora still debian? [21:44] pfifo: i think that the best server may be the Debian one [21:44] pfifo: thanks for the info [21:44] waxstone, no [21:44] waxstone: you sould not use webmin on any os [21:45] waxstone, i have to agree with ikonia there, configure by hand to get best results [21:45] fedora is a community project so for a production server, maybe the RHES will be more advised [21:45] ikonia: what is the best free option to replace webmin? [21:45] waxstone: my personal opinion is that you shouldn't be using web based management tools to manage a server. [21:45] fedora is the community edition for Red Hat [21:45] so can you use waxstone with ubuntu? [21:46] ok [21:46] you can use tools such as ebox, but the concept of a website to manage your server does not sit well with me [21:46] ikonia: +1 the best way to administer a server would be the SSH one [21:46] or what is compatible with ubuntu? [21:47] hello does anybody know how to connect to xbox live with ubuntu 11.10 [21:47] MaWaLe, really i go with centos opposed to fedora, but the difference isnt that noticable [21:47] waxstone: the best replacement for a web-based administration tool is a real unix-admin [21:48] luisr: what do you mean xbox live - xbox live is a service for the xbox [21:48] like a bridge connection [21:48] iceroot: yeah I guess you guys are right. Webmin exists for resellers and admin neubs [21:48] !webmin [21:48] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [21:48] luisr: what is your end goal [21:48] waxstone: webmin is evil and may break your system [21:48] to be albe to connect my xbox to xbox live [21:48] pfifo: i think that the best way to describe the difference is to say that it is like the freeze and volatile package in the debian project [21:49] !ics | luisr [21:49] luisr: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [21:49] luisr: so you want to use your machine as a proxy [21:49] yes [21:49] _Brun0_: you could install feh and use: feh --bg-scale /path/to/image [21:49] luisr: check out the link iceroot gave you via ubottu [21:50] pfifo: so the RHES and the CentOS are more mature then Fedora (which i think is a "prototype" ;) ) [21:50] hello :) Please allow me one question. I am going to install ubuntu 11.10 (server) on an SSD drive. Is there any recomendation for the appriopriate filesystem? [21:50] ironm: ext4 (the default) [21:50] MaWaLe: no [21:50] MaWaLe: they are nothing linked [21:50] thank you iceroot === bnmorgan- is now known as bnmorgan [21:50] ironm: SSD in a server? strange. I hope you have a platter based storage for your data [21:51] <_Brun0_> trism, ty [21:51] ironm: do you have a platter based drive for data storage too? [21:51] ActionParsnip: it is just for short testing and creating some ubuntu live images. I am not really going to use a server with SSD (in ling term) n [21:51] Since when can't you use the arrow keys in VI when in interactive mode? [21:51] in long term .. === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial === pklaus_ is now known as pklaus [21:52] is there ubunut 12.x alpha server image available? [21:52] ironm: read the topic in #ubuntu+1 channel [21:52] ironm: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise stuff [21:53] Hi ActionParsnip [21:53] hi pfifo [21:53] thank you ikonia :) [21:53] pfifo, okay, I got a win95 install disk booting now, so my guess is h/ware is okay [21:54] Guinness2702, thats strange that it wouldnt atleast bott the ubuntu livecd then [21:54] Guinness2702, do you have a high end video card by chance? [21:54] pfifo, it will boot as far as the menu, but not the OS [21:54] Guinness2702: what video chip do you use [21:55] Guest35143: do you get a black screen when you boot? [21:55] pfifo - quite the opposite, it's a low power mini-itx system - and anyway, it's been working for the last year - just suddenly died [21:55] ActionParsnip, not entirely sure, but nothing hi-spec [21:55] Guinness2702: does the system have a make and model? [21:57] ActionParsnip, it's an aleutia system [21:57] thanks trying to figure it out [21:58] ActionParsnip, http://aleutia.com/products/all-products/tango-fanless-silent-pc I believe [21:59] Guinness2702: try the boot option: nomodeset [21:59] How can i see what graphics drivers are currently in use? [21:59] ActionParsnip, it's actually exactly that one, but that is the current equivalent [21:59] they charge L15.00 to install ubuntu? man im in the wrong business [21:59] where does upstart keep track of PIDs? [22:00] diverdude, lsmod should show all loaded graphics drivers [22:00] ActionParsnip, k - just out of interest, do you know how I can get to boot options from a standard ubuntu install? (I could try the CD instead) [22:00] ActionParsnip, hmm, interesting - the win95 has got as far as "setup is starting windows" and hanging [22:00] pfifo: that just show some list of modules [22:01] Guinness2702, hold shift while booting, then press 'e' at the grub menu [22:01] ActionParsnip, could it be that the gfx card is fried in GUI modes [22:01] pfifo, k, thx, I'll try it === bitmonk_ is now known as bitmonk === sk3ptic_1ne is now known as r3sid3nt_c0d3r [22:01] diverdude, yes, and the module for your graphics chip should be listed in those modules [22:02] pfifo: under the modulename: video? [22:02] installing from alt or minimal my nics work until the installer downloads the initial files, then it turns off the nic so i can't continue installing [22:03] tried noapci option, but didn't help [22:03] ideas? [22:03] installing from live CD works fine [22:03] but I'm trying to install on a 4gb flash drive [22:03] amazingrando, bring them back up manually? [22:03] pfifo: your method is not working. no drivers are listed [22:04] ActionParsnip, do I need nomodeset on a line of its own, or as a parameter to one of the other lines? [22:04] i tried that - going to another console. but it tells me there's no ifup and stuff [22:04] Guinness2702, on the line starting with 'linux' [22:04] pfifo, k, that's where i went wrong :) [22:04] I have a question. I have full disk encryption with LUKS installed on my Ubuntu 11.10 machine. Evidently, yesterday, while performing the automatic update with the update manager in unity, it upgraded my kernel, and when I boot off the new kernel, it can't load my LUKS encrypted drive, and I get this default innitramfs shell. I'm forced to load the old kernel via grub. [22:04] Hello, I have some probl;ems with a windows computer but i found a way to path this problem by another computer. sadly i don't find a way to pas this problem with linux [22:05] The new kernel is 3.0.0-16-generic, and the old one, which loads fine, is 3.0.0-12 generic. [22:05] amazingrando, there are 2 program that are commonly used to setup network, 'ip' and 'ifconfig' you should have one or both [22:05] pfifo: fyi: jockey-text -l is the correct command [22:06] let me start and get to that point and then i'll tell you what it says [22:06] does anyone know something about setting a domain and adding a network printer - not automaticaly found by ubuntu? [22:06] pfifo, okay, I also took out quiet - it got as far as "new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd" [22:07] droptone, you need to rebuild your initramfs with the new kernel running [22:07] sigh. [22:07] pfifo, I'm thinking something to do with gfx mode though, as win95 install booted until it tried to start win (presumably GUI mode, previously was the text intro) [22:07] droptone, and the drive mounted of course [22:08] 123 [22:08] pfifo: how do I go about doing that? When I boot from the new kernel, it won't let me mount the drive, I don't get the prompt to enter the password to mount the volume. [22:08] I appreciate the help. [22:08] droptone, manually setup thee drive from the initramfs [22:08] and is this something that is standard, somthing I would have to do every time I perform a kernel upgrade with a LUKS-encrypted drive? [22:09] droptone, initramfs is custom made for the kernel, so yes [22:09] guys i got this dchp failed when i log off how do i fix it [22:09] I have some probl;ems with a windows computer but i found a way to path this problem by another computer. sadly i don't find a way to pas this problem with linux. does anyone know something about setting a domain and adding a network printer - not automaticaly found by ubuntu? [22:10] gotcha. So currently, I'm booted into the old 3.0.0-12-generic kernel, since I can't boot into the new one, except into an initramfs shell. [22:10] droptone, are you at a different computer than the one your working on? [22:11] Should I boot into that shell? [22:11] pfifo: no, I'm on this computer. [22:11] I can get on another one if needed. [22:11] Here, I'm migrating to another computer now. 10 seconds. [22:11] thank you again for the assistance. [22:12] one question more: can I use a 256GB SSD as follows: 1-st partition (120GB) for 11.10 and the 2-nd partition (120GB) for 12.04? The rest (16GB) as shared swap area? .. the system has already 16GB RAM and shouldn't swap (at least I hope so ;) [22:12] im getting this chcp fail when i shut down laptop how can i fix it or remove it [22:12] ironm: sure [22:12] ironm, no swap needed there [22:12] dhcp sorry [22:12] ironm you can use it i bought i hybrid ssd disk and i used [22:13] thank you Bodsda BluesKaj and humancomp [22:13] pfifo: On a different machine now. What is the recommended procedure? [22:13] droptone, I take it that you root is encrypted, otherwise booting would still work [22:13] ironm: I wouldn't put swap on an SSD [22:13] pfifo: that's right, / and swap are in two LVM volumes, both of which are in the encrypted container. [22:14] I don't have any other volumes or partitions, like /boot, just / and swap. [22:14] and they're all within the LUKS-encrypted volume. [22:14] ironm: If you are using it as a server, I'd install a platter based drive to store the user data, databases, mailserver database etc and have /var and swap on that [22:14] droptone, boot your computer with the new kernel, you should get the initramfs prompt [22:14] ironm: and obviously put the browser webcache in tempfs :) [22:15] And when I copy a 1.2GB movie from my hard disk to my flash it starts off at 29Mbps copy rate and then rapidly drops to 918Kbps. When I copy from hard disk to hard disk is copys at about 30Mbps, why is their rhis problem? [22:15] ActionParsnip: I have to see how I can do it ... (put all the variable stuff in tmpfs) [22:15] pfifo: doing that now [22:15] BlueWolf, the cache can fill quickly, but the actual write to the disk is slow [22:16] BlueWolf: First part is write cache of usb system and so fast.. second is your usb real speed [22:16] pfifo: What the solution? [22:16] BlueWolf, there isnt one, aside from getting faster/better hardware [22:17] pfifo: I'm at the initramfs prompt. [22:17] humancomp: Sorry could you explain in a simpler form ? :D [22:17] Bluewolf, pfifo is right [22:17] i get ip address error when trying to connect to xbox live using lap top as internet source please help [22:18] droptone, once your there, you need to issue a command similiar to this `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdXY mapdevice` where XY is your partition and mapdevice is the name you use in /dev/mapper/ [22:19] ActionParsnip: do you use such configuration already? ... [23:14:17] ironm: If you are using it as a server, I'd install a platter based drive to store the user data, databases, mailserver database etc and have /var and swap on that [22:19] ok, and if I don't have the XY partiton the mapdevice info, should I reboot into the old kernel and get that information? [22:19] BlueWolf: System filling write cache quickly and waiting transfer process for this filled cache to your usb driver.. [22:19] pfifo: humancomp: I have a good machine capable of copying fast. Core i3 2.95Ghz processor, 2Gb Ram DDR3. 240GT Nividia graphic card [22:19] Right? [22:20] droptone, yeah, if you dont know it, reboot and take a note of the info in /etc/crypttab [22:20] BlueWolf: Those things wont effect usb write speed [22:20] Bluewolf: when you transfer smaller file to usb like 20 mb you can see usb drive blinking after closing copy dialog.. because its still writing 900Kbps. [22:20] pfifo: don't that now, thank you. [22:21] droptone, maybe just pastebin /etc/crypttab so i can fill in the command for you [22:21] ironm: that's how i'd set it up if I was setting up a sever using SSD for sure. I have a server but its al on a playyer based drive presently [22:22] i get dhcp failed when i shut down laptop how can i fix this [22:22] droptone: if you want to work with different version of kernel. you have spare your hard disk manually like /boot /home and / [22:22] BlueWolf: how would the video hardware impact the copying process? [22:22] thank you for your kind hints ActionParsnip :) [22:22] Hey guys, so I'm getting further - It now gets as far as about 1.7 seconds into kernel/boot before hanging. Is there any way I can stop it from trying to do anything to the video mode/setting? [22:23] ActionParsnip: you can watch soo fast :D [22:23] humancomp: Ok I am getting a bit confused, Why is the usb coping speed slow and what is the reason for it being slow. Is it ubuntu. Because my ubuntu eats up my processor and ram. My ram does about 40% use. [22:24] all datas not transfering usb drive directly. [22:24] humancomp: I do have /boot in a separate, unencrypted partition, sorry. [22:24] sorry for confusion that is. [22:24] but / and swap are in LVM volumes within a luks encrypted container. [22:24] I have some problems with a windows computer but i found a way to path this problem by another computer. sadly i don't find a way to pas this problem with LINUX. does anyone know something about setting a domain and adding a network printer - not automaticaly found by UBUNTU 10.04? [22:25] pfifo: generating a pastebin link, one sec. [22:25] humancomp: heheh [22:25] dear users, can anyone help me with the no wubidr problem? [22:25] [22:25] ActionParsnip: You never know a miracle can happen. I always name those three. even if they don't do much, :D [22:25] BlueWolf: do you have latest BIOS? [22:26] just installed ubuntu, using the default bootloader, and it loads. but only after a long while [22:26] tryed editing grub.cfg, didnt work [22:27] hello im getting dhcp fail when i shut down my laptop how can i fix this [22:27] ActionParsnip: I don't think so as I am using 10.04. Can it still get the new BIOS, how would I check? [22:28] anybody help [22:29] luisr: what is your dhcp server? Linux or Windows or a modem ? [22:29] im a noob to all this im on ubuntu 11.10 [22:30] darthness, try update-grub [22:30] ActionParsnip: This copy rate is ridiculous, it normaly goes at 10Mbps minimum and now it's going at 625Kbps what wrong with this silly computer!!! ? :D [22:30] thnx waxstone [22:31] droptone, ok once your at the initramfs, `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 sda5_crypt` then you press ctrl-d to exit the initramfs shell and hopefully it will boot [22:31] * pfifo crosses fingers [22:31] BlueWolf: ok i tried to explain HDD => 30 Mbps =>RAM => 625Kbps => USB Drive. [22:31] BlueWolf: manufacturers site will have the bios, you may need a windows OS to install it [22:31] BlueWolf: try switching the USB to legacy mode [22:32] ok, trying that now, will let you know shortly. [22:32] BlueWolf: does the system have a make and model? [22:32] Hello. I'm having problems with mplayer and libcdio_paranoia.so.0. Could someone help me? [22:32] ActionParsnip, I have make but "model: command not found" [22:33] [22:33] ActionParsnip: Flash or computer? :D [22:33] ActionParsnip: Where would I check? [22:33] anyone good on bash scripting [22:33] Whiskey, the guys in #bash [22:33] them won´t help [22:34] allrdy try [22:34] Whiskey, #friendly-coders [22:34] I'm running ubuntu 12.04 beta. When I run mplayer it complains that: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libcdio_paranoia.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Could someone help? [22:34] !12.04 | gnarlin [22:34] gnarlin: 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 [22:34] pfifo: that totaly did it, thank you greatly. [22:34] droptone, wait [22:34] droptone, were not done [22:34] ok, thx [22:35] no problem, what next? [22:35] how can I apt-get to determine if there are packages that need to be updated? it appears the -u switch is supposed to do this, but it doesn't do what I expect [22:35] [22:35] humancomp: Got it. :D [22:35] or any command line program to tell me how many packages apt things I need to upgrade [22:35] I was wondering if someone could help me with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/878148/ [22:35] http://codepad.org/KI9jochP <--- anyone knows how to avoid those two loops to accept return? [22:35] droptone, you need to run `sudo update-initramfs` to build a custom initramfs, then it should work when you reboot [22:36] pfifo: just run that command by itself? no parameters? [22:36] droptone, thats right, build a new one from scratch [22:37] droptone, `sudo update-initramfs -c` [22:37] when I run sudo update-initramfs, it says usage: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs [OPTION], and gives me a list of paremeters. [22:37] ahh, ok [22:37] trying that now. [22:37] humancomp: It's just, why is it copying so slow now. Before it was doing it at 10Mbps or more onto my flash. So what's the problem? [22:37] whenever i download files from the internet using firefox, they do not show up on my desktop, but when i do an ls from the terminal i see them [22:37] ok, it says "create mode requires a version argument" [22:38] when I use -c. [22:38] Why does hdparm only show ~470MB/s now, and some weeks ago ~520MB/s with my SSD? [22:38] droptone, try `sudo mkinitramfs` instead [22:38] ok [22:38] and the access times has increased from 2ms > 3ms [22:38] I was wondering if someone could help me with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/878148/ [22:38] it says it requires a paremeter too [22:39] requiring "outfile" with -o. [22:39] why are my downloaded files hidden? (but i can see them from the terminal) [22:39] culpn8r: do "nautilus ." in the terminal then to get a file manager in that directory [22:39] culpn8r: are they in hidden folders? [22:39] culpn8r, do the files begin with a .? [22:39] culpn8r: you can do "pwd" to get your current working directory as well. [22:40] if i hit ctrl-h in the file manager i cant see them either [22:40] the only time i can see them is when i type ls in the terminal [22:40] Ken apt-get install debian-archive-keyring [22:40] droptone, what is the output of uname -r [22:40] apt-get update [22:40] 3.0.0-16-generic [22:40] humancomp: ? [22:40] waxstone, no they do not. its just a jpg [22:40] gvo: ok [22:40] Ken or whatever keyring for your distro. [22:41] ericus: if you boot to the older kernel, is it ok? [22:41] [22:41] ActionParsnip: why is it copying so slow now. Before it was doing it at 10Mbps or more onto my flash. So what do you think can be the problem other than me? [22:41] BlueWolf: is the device healthy? [22:41] droptone, run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.0.0-16-generic` that should trigger a rebuild of the initramfs, watch the output to make certian of this [22:41] ActionParsnip: I've not tried that [22:41] ericus: what have you tried? [22:42] like i literally download an image off the internet and save it to the desktop, but it never pops up with an icon. i can see it there if i browse via terminal but not gnome [22:42] pfifo: trying that now. [22:42] Ken or perhaps sudo apt-key update [22:42] gvo: I'm using kubuntu [22:42] sudo apt-get update might work better for Ubuntu [22:42] ActionParsnip: Ya normal as it's always been. [22:42] Not anything at all ActionParsnip [22:42] BlueWolf: what file system does it use? [22:42] Bluewolf: Its can be related with your Windows Compatibility on USB drive [22:43] ActionParsnip: what do you mean by file system? [22:43] pvo: the issue is more that I am seeing unsigned packages including the linux generic update and not sure why [22:43] ken so that didn't work? [22:43] [22:43] humancomp: Which means? [22:43] I got crypsetup: WARNING: target sda5_crypt uses a key file, skipped, a few times at various places during the reconfigure. Other than that, it looked good. [22:44] BlueWolf: what file system does the USB storage use? NTFS? Ext2? etc [22:44] and it said it ran update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-16-generic [22:44] so that appeared successful. Should I reboot and give it a whirl? [22:44] ericus: try the older kernel, if its ok there then you have a regression bug [22:44] anyone? [22:44] droptone, yeah, reboot and see if it worked [22:44] ActionParsnip: I formated it to use NTFS. Then I have just formated it again to use FAT. [22:44] ken search the net for that error message if you that doesn't work. I'm going to dinner. [22:45] BlueWolf: is it faster with FAT? [22:45] can you send me your lsusb output for this device [22:45] ActionParsnip: OK, I will try that tomorrow. Thank you, and good night [22:45] I have some problems with a windows computer but i found a way to path this problem by another computer. sadly i don't find a way to pas this problem with LINUX. does anyone know something about setting a domain and adding a network printer - not automaticaly found by UBUNTU 10.04? [22:45] ActionParsnip: No, come to think of it, it might be because its FAT and not NTFS? [22:47] pfifo: Didn't work, it dropped to an initramfs shell again. [22:47] hello? [22:47] hello? anyone there? [22:48] hi [22:48] hello [22:48] ActionParsnip: Should I format it back to NTFS? [22:48] It says, right before the shell: "Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline), Check rootdelay=(did the system wait long enough?), and chck root= (did the system wait for the right device?) and Missing modules (cat /proc/modues; ls /dev) [22:48] hi [22:48] droptone, it appears you have it setup to use a keyfile and a passphrase, if you remove the keyfile, regenerate the initramfs, and then set the keyfile back up it may work [22:48] could anyone help me? [22:48] dustinconlon: Ask your question and if someone knows they will answer [22:49] dustinconlon: Be patient :D [22:49] when i download files onto the desktop i cannot see them [22:49] I do, hmm. Well I just used the LUKS installer on the Ubuntu 11.10 alternate installer disk. How would I go about removing the keyfile? [22:50] droptone, thge manual says luksRemoveKey [] [22:50] is this process dangerous? [22:51] Can I install ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent on an computer with intel i3 cpu ? [22:51] droptone, you need to know the correct slot to kill [22:51] and I haven't the slightest where the keyfile is located, when I configured it during the ubuntu alternate installer process, all it asked me for was password. [22:51] I have an iMac 27", 2009 model, and I put an iso onto a cd, I have rEFIT installed, and when I try to boot off of the cd, I get a console type cursor, and then a purple screen with a picture of a keyboard and person at the bottom, then it goes back to the console cursor, and then a pure black screen === CrazyCanuck is now known as CrazyCanucks [22:51] droptone, when you enter the passphrase it will say 'key slot #X unlocked' DO NOT remove that slot [22:51] ok === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [22:53] droptone, otherwise, i think the syntax is `cryptsetup luksRemoveKey /dev/sda5 X` where X is the slot you want to kill [22:54] can someone please help me haha [22:55] droptone, use `cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda5` to get a list of keyslots in use [22:55] Hello, I have some problems with a windows computer but i found a way to path this problem by another computer. sadly i don't find a way to pas this problem with LINUX. does anyone know something about setting a domain and adding a network printer - not automaticaly found by UBUNTU 10.04? i found that i have to enter a pasword by setting up a domain, but if i set it up with windows i'm not asked for a pasword. [22:55] dustinconlon I have an iMac 27", 2009 model, and I put an iso onto a cd, I have rEFIT installed, and when I try to boot off of the cd, I get a console type cursor, and then a purple screen with a picture of a keyboard and person at the bottom, then it goes back to the console cursor, and then a pure black screen [22:55] Rickardo1, Yes you can, it just a naming convention [22:56] it will work on all x64 cpu's [22:56] dustinconlon: wht gpu does the system have? [22:57] I know this is an ubuntu channel, but i am certain that someone here will be able to give me some insight on my irrelevant issue. My IIS ftp site loads as a blank page not displaying any of the files... any idea how to fix this? [22:57] could you put that in english for me :) [22:57] I'm having trouble determining which key to remove. I guess, if nothing else, I could just continue launching that cryptsetup command from the initramfs shell, no? [22:57] dustinconlon: the video card? [22:57] would that break anything? It's a bit convoluted, but hell, I really don't want to fry my HD right now. [22:57] ATI Radeon... um let me check [22:57] Guido1: in the cog menu in the top right, you can add printers there [22:57] dustinconlon: good enough [22:57] and generating the initramfs boot image is obviously broken. [22:58] dustinconlon: add the boot option: nomodeset it may help [22:58] how do i do that? [22:58] where at least [22:58] hrmf, gnome-look.org is in trouble..and here I was hoping to figure out how to do the whole theme-thing.. [22:58] I dont know how to change the boot parameters for it [22:59] im looking for a wine irc... [22:59] !nomodeset | dustinconlon [22:59] dustinconlon: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:59] droptone, ok I just tested it on mine, you want to `cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda5` to find what slots are in use, and then `cryptsetup luksKillSlot /dev/sda5 X` the slots that are not your main passphrase [22:59] meerkats: #winehq [23:00] ActionParsnip: do you mean the place with find network printer, samba etc? [23:00] droptone, you should know which key slot you passphrase unlocked, it will say [23:00] when I get the keyboard and person screen and I try to press a button, nothing happens at all [23:01] ActionParsnip: i already tryed that. perhaps i'm doing something wrong [23:02] Guido1: select to add a printer, then select the windows printer option [23:02] Does anyone know of a utility that will make a directory structure appear flattened? Ex: I have a directory tree under /opt/stuff, when i view it through this utility or file system, it will show the files as if they are in one directory. I know it's an odd request, but I have a particular use for it. [23:02] dustinconlon: press SPACE afaik, or try F6 [23:03] okay, if that doesn't work, could it be a problem with my keyboard? [23:03] its a normal wired keyboard [23:03] droptone, i will brb, once you get down to just the single key, rebuild the initramfs like before, see if it still gives that warnning [23:03] ActionParsnip: you mean printer --> ad printer --> network --> windows ... Samba? [23:04] @syddraf: on shell or GUI? [23:04] recorder446: Preferably shell. [23:05] pfifo: will do [23:05] ActionParsnip: that is one of the things i already tryed [23:05] @syddraf: use "ls -laR" [23:07] hello. anyone around using live-builder 3.x on ubuntu? Where can I find newer live-build packages for ubuntu 11.10 than 3.0~a24-1ubuntu17 ? ... Thank you in advance for any hints ;) [23:07] ActionParsnip, it still should work, even if its not the default mac keyboard? [23:07] recorder446: I'm looking more for something that would operate like a file system. ie: "mount" /opt/stuff to /opt/flat and when I browse to /opt/flat it shows the files as if in one directory. At this point in just considering trying to write a fuse fs for it. [23:08] syddraf: umm, find? What is your particular use? [23:08] pfifo: Accroding to luksDump, only key slot 0 is enabled. 1-7 are all DISABLED. [23:08] Hola a tod@s [23:09] dustinconlon: not sure, i don't buy apple rubbish [23:09] @ syddraf: I still don't understand what you want to achieve... [23:09] hey guys, quick question - Im trying to get LUKS encryption working on my new netbook. The "normal" ubuntu 11.10 installer detects my wifi card just fine, whereas the alternative installer does not seem to let me connect via wifi/wired. Any ideas? Are the same driver sets used for both vanilla/alternative installer ISOs? [23:09] droptone, well, in that case the initramfs isnt operating properly [23:09] ok [23:10] alguien habla español y conoce algo sobre weechat?gracias :) [23:10] !en | terminal [23:10] terminal: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [23:10] droptone, are you still in the initramfs or did you boot up? [23:10] so any other suggestions? Just manually launch cryptsetup from the initramfs shell? [23:10] !es [23:10] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:10] pfifo: I'm booted up. Should I only do this from the initramfs shell? [23:10] thank´s ;) [23:11] I have several programs I use that rely on things to be in the same directory. I have these files organized in subdirectories for other reasons, so some utility to trick a program (through a fs, for example) to think they are in a single directory would be useful. It's so off-the-wall that I really don't expect anything to already be out there, but I figured that I'd ask anyway. Thanks for your help. [23:11] syddraf: what programs? [23:11] pfifo: By "do this", I'm referring to the luksDump command. And thank you again for your assistance. [23:12] droptone, no you need to be booted to the target kernel, try this command `update-initramfs -c -k all` === blober is now known as greenkobold === bluekb is now known as bluebk [23:13] @syddraf: a simple "ln -s " don't do the job? (or do you look for some auto mechanism?) [23:13] ok, trying now. [23:13] c [23:14] does anyone know a better way to find if an instance of a program is running? [23:15] right now I'm doing "ps aux | grep "Thunar" | wc -l" to see if a Thunar instances is running [23:15] DinoMuffin: pgrep [23:15] @syddraf: I guess I've just [23:15] ok, seems to work good, only the same "cryptsetup: WARNING: target sda5_crypt uses a key file, skipped", oh and then I get a ton of errors FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.0.0-16/modules.dep: No such file or directory" [23:15] SunTsu: thanks, works great [23:16] so that's not good. [23:16] Hello, I'm recording a screencast for my friend and will like to bring attention of my friend to a particular part of screen in recorded video on desktop... [23:16] recorder446: Symlink isn't quite what I need, since it wouldn't make the directory structure appear flattened. [23:16] ironm, look at this ppa https://launchpad.net/~jason-heeris/+archive/live-build === bluekb is now known as bluebk [23:16] I'll like to hilight a small circle on screen with yellow/orange torch light style hilighter [23:16] is this the right place for an rsync question? [23:16] but I think the kernel should be 3.0.0-16-generic, not just 3.0.0-16, I think that's a mistake on my part from earlier when the guys in #lvm were having me manually generate initramfs segments, and I left off the generic. [23:17] droptone, no, its not. your definatly not using a keyfile, this has to be a bug [23:17] ok [23:17] The hilighter circle should follow my mouse pointer... [23:17] RingZer0: what's the problem? [23:17] thank you very much itaylor57 :) [23:17] droptone, and yes it should have the -generic [23:17] hi [23:17] ironm, np [23:17] so I can only login to the guest account the main one like does not load properly ? [23:17] DinoMuffin: I am just preparing to sync over a "final sync" before changing my name servers. I want to make sure I am not going to overwrite all my modified config files like wp-config.php [23:18] droptone, no you need to be booted to the target kernel, try this command `update-initramfs -c -k 3.0.0-16-generic` [23:18] ok [23:18] erm, disregart the first part of that, i copy pasted too much [23:18] DinoMuffin: so if A is old server and B is new server. I was thinking rsync -avz /sites/mysite/* 12.34.56.78:/var/www/vhost/mysite/ [23:19] I am booted to the target kernel, I'll give it a shot. [23:19] just want to make sure I am not overwriting all my changes [23:19] should I touch the files on the new server (aka B, aka 12.34.56.78?) [23:19] RingZer0: ah, I'm not the one to ask. my knowledge of rsync is pretty basic [23:19] droptone, did the guys in lvm have you mess with /etc/crypttab at all? [23:19] me too :) [23:20] Anyone? [23:20] pfifo: No, they didn't. We didn't get very far before they decided it was an ubuntu issue and sent me here. And as far as that update-initramfs command you just told me to run, I got no output at all except for "cryptset: WARNING: target sda5_crypt uses a key file, skipped" [23:20] How can I hilight parts of my screen while recording screencast of my desktop? [23:20] I never touched my /etc/crypttab file except to cut and paste the contents of it to pastebin for you. [23:21] or copy/paste I should say. [23:21] AmberJ: compiz has a plugin for that [23:22] ActionParsnip: What if I don't want to install/use compiz for this? Isn't there a standalone tool? [23:22] droptone, I dont see how it thinks your using a keyfile, im going to look on launchpad for a bug report of this [23:24] can you do a non-graphical install from the live cd? [23:25] pfifo: thank you, again, greatly apprecaited [23:25] amazingrando: you could install the OS then add the boot option: text and you will boot to CLI only [23:25] amazingrando: the other apps will be installed, just not used [23:25] ok, thanks [23:26] What does the heirachy of computer 1337's look like right now? [23:26] @ amazingrando: no, you can't, but there's an so called "Alternate CD" for download [23:27] hello [23:27] who helped me last time?

[23:40] ActionParsnip, oh yeh sry http://pastebin.com/011WcDNs [23:41] droptone, im not 100% sure but i think you would want the tail to be 'none option1,option2,luks` or similiar [23:41] holy crap, it worked. [23:41] I didn't get the "uses filename, skipped" errors. [23:41] when running update-initramfs -c -k 3.0.0-16-generic [23:41] <|PiP|`> recorder446: no windows, just ubuntu [23:41] should I try a reboot now? [23:41] droptone, good, reboot and see if it sets it up [23:42] ok [23:42] <|PiP|`> btw how do i enable root user? [23:42] How to recover a deleted file? [23:42] !undelete | jpaulo7 [23:42] jpaulo7: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [23:42] jpaulo7, restore from backup [23:42] !root | |PiP|` [23:42] |PiP|`: 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 [23:42] thank's [23:43] I'll be damned, that did it. [23:43] kingofswords: awesome [23:43] thank you so much pfifo, you've been amazingly helpful. [23:43] kingofswords: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer [23:43] droptone, you should tell the lvm guys how obivous that was [23:43] pip: What did you do before this happend? [23:43] lmao, will do. [23:43] ok [23:44] could anyone give me a hand? [23:44] Hey, is anyone here familiar with the 12.04 beta yet? [23:44] pfifo: while we're here, the option for TRIM passthrough: do you know much about it with LUKS? I don't want to put you through another huge process. [23:44] kingofswords: I believe if you add the partner repo then you can instal the adobe-flashplugin package and get 64bit flash for your 64bit OS [23:44] But I would greatly like to allow for TRIM passthrough, which is supposedly supported on cryptsetup 1.4 or whatever, as well as the linux kernel 3.1, which we're not at yet. [23:44] @theToff: I'm runnig it right now... [23:44] Hello [23:44] but if you don't have the answeres right here, don't worry about it, I'm fine. [23:44] ActionParsnip, so i just install flash from synapytic? [23:44] I just plugged in a usb flash drive and I am unable to delete files/directry from it [23:45] droptone, no I dont, but guessing from the way crypttab was broken, I doubt you were using it before [23:45] please help [23:45] I wasn't, no. [23:45] !ask | dustinconlon [23:45] dustinconlon: 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 [23:45] anyway, I"m good. Thank you again, fantastic work. [23:45] ActionParsnip, whats partner repo? [23:45] @recorder446: When you installed, did you have a windows install on your computer as well? I noticed that the installer's partitioning bit showed my NTFS partition as being completely empty [23:45] droptone, i guess read the crypttab and cryptsetup manuals to see how to adjust options properly [23:45] kingofswords: after enabling the partner repo it should be available [23:46] ActionParsnip, you probably get this a lot, but you have the greatest name ever [23:46] kingofswords: its enablable in the software centre / synaptic etc [23:46] ok [23:46] fabzor3: a bit hehe. Its an old harry hill joke [23:46] I am having a problem booting up my Ubuntu 11.10 [23:46] fabzor3: thanks btw [23:46] !paste | amit0520 send us the output of "mount" [23:46] amit0520 send us the output of "mount": For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:47] escott: mount | pastebinit could be used :) [23:47] ActionParsnip, can see it [23:47] @theoff: yes, I have a windows-OS and 2 more NTFS data partitions on the same HD. [23:47] @recorder446: I also noticed that when I ran it from usb, using the Pendrive program, when I set up the file for persistent changes in pendrive, it doesn't actually allow persistent changes to be made. Case in point, I need to blacklist the acer-wmi for the wifi to work on my Lenovo B570. [23:47] ActionParsnip, other sources tab? [23:48] ActionParsnip, but then pastebinit would have to be installed. someone should probably make that a required package before any irc client can be installed [23:48] !details | dustinconlon [23:48] dustinconlon: 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 ..." [23:48] kingofswords: sure [23:48] I su'd a terminal window, and used nano to edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to reflect my need to blacklist the acer-wmi, and saved the change, etc, but get nothing when I reboot [23:48] escott: dang [23:48] ubottu i just pasted output on paste.ubuntu.com [23:48] amit0520: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:48] ActionParsnip, do i just install Adobe Flash Player plugin installer? [23:49] I have an iMac 27" 2009 and I'm getting a completely black screen after the purple screen that tells me to press any button. When I press any button, nothing at all happens... when I press F6 or ESC to change the GRUB boot options, nothing happens either... I dont have any idea if there is a file I can change without booting it up at all, I have an ATI Radeon Video card [23:49] amit0520, send us the link that it gave you [23:49] @TheOff: I tried the 2nd alpha from USB and it didn't work at all... Instsaller is still very buggy in Beta1 (partitioner). [23:49] ActionParsnip, yeh sure [23:49] escott here is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/878223/ [23:49] !nomodeset | dustinconlon [23:49] dustinconlon: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:49] @Recorder446: Has a bug report been initiated, do you know? [23:50] I know that parameter escott, but I cannot get to any screen that allows me to enter it or change it === guampa|2 is now known as guampa [23:50] dustinconlon, boot a livecd and make the changes in a chroot [23:50] how to I access a "chroot" [23:50] amit0520, /media/TSNDV30 is the problem correct? what does "touch /media/TSNDV30/test" output [23:50] dustinconlon: I gave you a link.... [23:50] yes escott [23:50] ActionParsnip, oh no i see partner repo i think [23:51] TSNDV30 is my usb flash drive thats causing problem [23:51] And does anyone here know for certain how to EFFECTIVELY change the text of the blacklist.conf file on a LIVE USB, so that the changes will persist across reboot? [23:51] @TheToff: Yes, Installer related bugs ahve been initiated. (It's usually done by Ubuntu itself; it tells you...) [23:51] kingofswords: of you can uncomment the line in /etc/apt/sources.list [23:51] TheToff, is it a persistent livecd? [23:51] escott, it is a 12.10 live cd [23:51] I doubt that [23:51] 12.10 doesn't exist [23:52] escott, it is a live usb set up with Pendrive to allow for persistent changes [23:52] escott, it is a 12.04 sorry [23:52] okay thanks guys Ill give it a try [23:52] And it is 12.04 beta [23:52] escott here is the error I get when I do Touch >> touch: cannot touch `/media/TSNDV30/test': Read-only file system [23:52] ActionParsnip, archive canical....partner....that one? [23:52] kingofswords: indeed [23:52] :) [23:53] how to reinstall X [23:53] anyone? [23:53] @The Toff: For me it finally worked to install on harddrive by formatting a partition as "ext4" from Live-CD and then using the installer again; but this time from CD [23:53] im using 11.04 [23:53] whats gtk? [23:54] recorder446: thank you [23:54] itaylor57, do I need some special live-builder options when running lb 3.0-a45 on oneiric? (11.10) .. I am getting an error like E: Unable to locate package console-common [23:54] even if: root@oneiric:/tmp/live# apt-cache search console-common [23:54] console-common - basic infrastructure for text console configuration [23:54] I just can't figure out why pendrive doesn't properly set up the persistent changes bit so that I can change the bloody blacklist.conf file [23:55] One bloody entry is all i need it to keep [23:55] how to reinstall X? [23:55] for me its not starting on boot [23:55] codepoet, why? [23:55] ActionParsnip, do i dl gtk ver? [23:55] pfifo, not starting on boot [23:56] im able to log into the tty ... [23:56] codepoet, can you pastebin /etc/grub/grub.cfg [23:56] i think my nvidia driver update screwed things up [23:56] yes jst a sec [23:57] There was a time when I worshiped the god of OS's that is Ubuntu..... but since the 11.04 release, not so much, just because wi-fi refuses to work until I install and blacklist that damnable acer-wmi [23:57] hi [23:57] ironm, did you do sudo apt-get update? [23:57] I was wondering if you could use wubi to insall chorme os [23:57] yes itaylor57 [23:57] Brewster, no [23:58] @fifo, no such file or directory [23:58] ok thank you [23:58] escott here is the error I get when I do Touch >> touch: cannot touch `/media/TSNDV30/test': Read-only file system [23:58] @pfifo, no such file or directory [23:58] otherwise I will be not able to upgrade to3.0-a45 [23:58] Is there a programme better than Pendrive which works to create a live usb that actually has persistent changes? [23:58] codepoet, /boot/grub/grub.cfg then [23:58] Greetings all! I'm having an xconf issue. I am not sure what changed my settings, maybe because I used the computer janitor? [23:58] ironm, then i don't know [23:58] amit0520, there are two possibilities. (1) for some reason this has been mounted as gid 1000 but one would expect it to be gid 0. did you add yourself to the group root? (2) some usb sticks are not normal usb sticks and have hardware/firmware that prevents modification. if this is a promotional usb that could be the problem [23:59] itaylor57, I used only lb config; lb buld ... (have corrected packages_lists in auto/config before) [23:59] my display is 1280x1024 and its no longer visible in the monitors config [23:59] @TheToff: I think there is an USB-Creator on board on Live CD! Maybe it works from there to allocate persistant space (for changes). But as already said.. Installing from there(USB) didn't work for me. [23:59] thank you itaylor57 :) .. have you created live images on oneiric already ? .. with lb 3.0-a45 ? [23:59] @pfifo, http://pastebin.com/SvED0w5T [23:59] Is there something wubi-like that you could use to install chrome os? [23:59] ironm, no i havent
