[00:00] yes I might have add myself to root group [00:00] @recorder446: I just want to be able to have wi-fi while I try out the new OS and see if I like it. [00:00] I am just trying to delete stuff off this flash drive. can't delete or write files to it [00:00] pfifo, http://pastebin.com/SvED0w5T [00:01] codepoet, did you recently upgrade? [00:01] amit0520, well its either that or its a u3 disk. i wont offer any further support since you have added yourself to root [00:01] pfifo, just my nvidia drivers [00:01] @Brewster: It won't work. Besides, Chrome OS is shite [00:01] pfifo, my ubuntu is quite old [00:01] ok scott [00:01] Here's what I have going on in my xconf, i added a subsection and it doesn't appear to be working http://i39.tinypic.com/346kgnq.jpg [00:02] @TheOff: I would't try to fix it, if it does not work "out of the box". I did it many times the last 10 years and I tell you: Use it "out of the box" or forget about it. (And I'm a linux admin) [00:03] TheToff: I was wondering because a friend of mine wanted to try it [00:03] @recorder446: I may find myself migrating back to the 10 series, then. This business of having to plug my laptop into ethernet or install and blacklist a file is shite lol [00:04] can someone suggest a lightweight browser? will be using full screen browser as an application with html5 [00:04] kingofswords: instal whatever it likes dude :) [00:05] funkster, lightweight and html5... somewhat contradictory there [00:05] Midori is a good choice I think http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html [00:05] codepoet, I see 3 kernels listed, did you upgradethe kernel too? [00:05] @escott: truer words are rarely spoken [00:05] escott: less weight then firefox is all im asking [00:05] @TheOff: This Hardware related things have become much better the last years. But if you don't have the right Wireless Chip... Try to waste your time with some more funny things than that! [00:05] funkster: browzar [00:05] pfifo, those are just the old kernels [00:05] i don't know if it works in windows though [00:05] ubuntu* === fran is now known as Guest74788 [00:06] codepoet, what happens when you run 'startx' [00:06] @recorder446: I should have bought an HP laptop rather than this Lenovo, and I'm helplessly chained to its crappy hardware [00:06] ActionParsnip, thx for help m8 think its fixed it:) [00:06] browzar is windows only is says... yeah. [00:06] it appears as though i need a modeline and option "PreferredMode" but I am not sure what to add for modeline [00:06] pfifo, i was able to startx via recovery console and then a temporary session [00:07] I am having trouble setting up wireless. It is a broadcom card. I installed the proprietary driver, but I can't turn on the card. there is a keyboard shortcut but it only works in windows. [00:07] pfifo, so not im on X but its a temporary session [00:07] @Brewster: Check out this article: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=chrome%20os&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CGQQFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zdnet.com%2Fblog%2Fopen-source%2Fhow-to-install-googles-chrome-os%2F9006&ei=nOxbT57qKsOg2AXFq83pDg&usg=AFQjCNGm-2vb1JQdDaqnEvVYGFSdduGdSA [00:07] pfifo, when i try a normal its not getting started [00:07] @TheToff: I always try my new laptops with a Linux Live CD to be sure it's the right one for me... [00:07] I'm booting Ubuntu 11.10 from a USB stick... I installed a new driver (wireless card), restarted, and now it's just the purple screen with ubuntu and the 5 red dots cycling through. Been stuck like this for15 mins, what should I do? [00:07] codepoet, what is your `uname -r` [00:08] pfifo 2.6.38-13-generic [00:08] funkster, the chrome in any of the browsers is not going to be that heavy. you could try and embed webkit into your application but its really the specification that is driving the complexity of these things [00:08] Racoon1400: what computer do you have? [00:08] CacheMoney, hit the up arrow and see what it says [00:08] doing anymore work is too much work, all i want to do is load browser pointing at my app, lol [00:09] codepoet, run `sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.38-13-generic` [00:09] does anybody know how to connect to xbox live using the ics please help [00:09] escott: Begin: adding live session user ... ... [00:09] does anyone could say how can i make a script be executed after wake-up? [00:09] TheToff: dell inspiron. older one, core 2 duo [00:10] pfifo done [00:10] codepoet, reboot [00:10] pfifo okay [00:10] pfifo i'll be back [00:10] codepoet, inb4 "come with me if you want to live" [00:11] Racoon1400: You could try these steps: open terminal and type: "sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" without the quotes. Then, arrow down to the last line, and insert the following, without quotes: "blacklist acer-wmi". Perss CTRL + X, and when asked to save changes, press Y. Reboot, and try your wireless [00:12] *Press [00:12] pfifo worked :-) [00:13] @Mony: Is your surname Sobieski? [00:13] pfifo what was wrong? can u pls explain in breif [00:13] pfifo brief* [00:13] TheToff: no acer-wmi, there is a dell wmi [00:13] codepoet, you updated nvidia drivers, but the initramfs still had the old file [00:13] TheToff: ty [00:14] does anybody know how to connect to xbox live using the ics please help [00:14] pfifo ohh i see, thanks a lot [00:14] kingofswords: sweet, keeping your achitectures the same for stuff helps a lot [00:14] Raccoon1400: try adding that line I gave you, blacklist acer-wmi. [00:14] Save the changes, reboot, and see what's up [00:15] with my lenovo, the shite broadcom card won't work unless I blacklist acer-wmi specifically [00:16] * codepoet waves good bye [00:16] how can i make a script be executed when the pc is waking up after suspend? [00:16] @Raccoon1400: It's worth a shot to try it, man. [00:17] renemoraes, have you looked at /etc/pm/sleep? [00:17] @Raccoon1400: The worst that could happen is it doesn't fix the issue, and you can re-edit blacklist.conf to reflect that [00:17] escott: i just have to put my script there? [00:17] renemoraes, look at the files in there for examples [00:17] escott: great! thanks escott! [00:17] I want to compile my C++ app under Ubuntu what is the most common system, is it to use "make" ? [00:17] does anybody know how to connect to xbox live using the ics please help [00:18] I restarted and I'm stuck on the loading page, what's the safest to proceed? Power off and on? [00:18] escott: by the way... i solved my last problem about the kernel arguments... it was the rc.local :) that was nothing to do with the kernel... thank u again [00:18] TheToff: i tried blacklisting dell-wmi. There is no acer-wmi. assume dell-wmi is the dell equivalent. It did nothing [00:18] Vinnie_win: ./configure && make [00:19] @Raccoon1400: did you reboot? [00:21] TheToff: yes [00:22] Raccoon1400: And you said there is not an acer-wmi. Did you try it and it did not work? Did it give you an error?? [00:23] Just to be sure. [00:23] Also, you are using 11.10? [00:24] TheToff: I did lsmod, acer-wmi was not there. [00:24] fixed my issue by using modeline here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [00:24] Racoon1400: Did you check if jockey-gtk lists any restricted drivers for your card? [00:24] and resetting the monitor to factory [00:25] TheToff: i installed the restricted driver, but it is not working [00:26] TheToff: yes, 11.10 [00:26] CacheMoney, im not familiar enough with the livecd boot to say what is going on there. you might try jumping to tty1 (ctrl-alt-f1) and trying to start lightdm if perhaps that is getting hung up [00:27] @Raccoon1400: try this: apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source [00:28] Raccoon1400, did you reboot after install? [00:28] does anybody know how to run aircrack on acer aspire one [00:29] !aircrack|luisr [00:29] 0/ [00:29] luisr aircrack is not supported on this channel [00:29] oh sorry what channel should i go to [00:29] !backtrack|luisr [00:29] luisr: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [00:30] hello, what is the easiest way to install the latest version of ruby on ubuntu 11.04? [00:31] Transcended, apt-get install ruby1.9 [00:33] escott: Ok 1.9.1 is installing, do you know if there's a command to upgrade to 1.9.3 or do I have to download/install it manually? [00:34] Transcended, you'll likely have to compile by hand or look for a ppa. but if you are using a 1.9 you'll probably end up compiling other libraries by hand as well [00:37] So I've been having some sound problems when I'm using my monitor's speakers. It's connected through HDMI to my gpu and I'm wondering what might be causing the absolute silence. [00:38] Transcended: there may be a ppa [00:38] !ppa [00:38] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [00:38] thanks :) [00:38] !ppa-purge [00:38] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [00:39] Hi tried installing ubuntu 11.10 on an acer travelmate 5735 [00:39] ActionParsnip: Would purging ppa remove all of them or just what you want? [00:39] but i couldnt see anything while installing it, i waited to see if that would change after the install is done [00:39] but no :( [00:39] zakidine: could you elaborate on "couldnt see anything while installing it"? [00:40] I am using sudo ubuntu-vm-builder kvm hardy to build a new vm machine... when finished it create ~/ubuntu-kvm/tmpO6WzW8.qcow2 Where is the start script? [00:41] Rickardo1: I'm fairly new to Ubuntu and use this to learn what I don't know. What is a "vm machine"? [00:41] Lirth: Virtual Machine/Host [00:41] well the screen was all black [00:41] Rckardo1: So what does the m stand for? [00:41] i could see like a shadow of the opened windows [00:41] but that's all [00:42] zakidine, sounds like an issue with compiz. you might try the alternate installer and then deal with the graphics issues once you have the system installed [00:43] Hey there, I want to clean up my grub boot list. from a google search, I found a site that says that I need to remove the kernels via the synaptic package manager. Is that the best way? I have grub2 so no /boot/grub/menu.lst file [00:43] tyatpi, that documentation is old ubuntu has moved to grub2 [00:43] TheToff: that didn't work either. I uninstalled the restricted driver and tried b43, but that isn't working either. When I click on the wireless icon in the system tray, it says firmware not ready [00:44] tyatpi I generally keep the current kernel plus the previous one. [00:44] hello friends, mint 9 how do i set-up wireless driver, no wireless connects or showing... thanks [00:44] tyatpi: uninstall the unwated kernels. from terminal you can use "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" to list the ones you have installed [00:44] thanks zykotick9 [00:44] Guest99876: mint isn't supported here [00:45] !mint | Guest99876 [00:45] Guest99876: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [00:45] ohh sorry where do i go [00:45] ok [00:48] hello [00:49] Hey guys, I have ubuntu 10, I have the newest version of ubuntu as an iso on my desktop, is there anyway to upgrade using that iso? [00:50] keepy: you can only upgrade from an alternate cd/iso - a LiveCD won't work [00:50] zykotick9: What is the difference from the alt cd/iso and a Live CD? [00:50] zykotick9: there is no command to upgrade using that iso? [00:50] ^ this [00:50] keepy: only alternate [00:51] !alternate | keepy [00:51] keepy: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [00:51] keepy: Ubuntu 10 doesn't exist [00:51] keepy: are you using ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10? [00:51] ActionParsnip: VERY good point! [00:51] ActionParsnip: ubuntu 10.04, sorry. I was wanting to upgrade using the iso rather than using the upgrade command [00:51] Lirth: alternate can be used to upgrade offline and installs a desktop OS via text mode, live CD installs in GUI mode [00:51] keepy: wait until 12.04 is released [00:52] keepy: I suggest you wait until April and upgrade direct to Precise [00:52] keepy: otherwise you will need to upgrade to Maverick (10.10) then to Natty (11.04) then finall to Oneiric (11.10) [00:53] Actionparsnip: thats fine, so there is no way to upgrade using the iso on my desktop? [00:53] hi, i have a current gen macbook air running lion and win7 via bootcamp [00:53] keepy: if you can hang til April (or don't mind a flaky OS now) you can upgrade to Precise which is LTS to LTS upgrade [00:53] is it possible to install ubuntu without wiping anything? [00:53] keepy: you will need to get to Natty first, then you can use the ISO [00:53] ActionParsnip: that's fine. so how do I go about using the iso? [00:53] keepy: personally I'd just do a clean install then restore user data from backup [00:53] Is there a different version of ubuntu for desktop computers and laptops? [00:54] Lirth: no, just use the desktop one [00:54] ActionParsnip: Any idea why my laptop and my desktop look very different then? [00:54] keepy: you will either need to upgrade through the releases using the internet til you get to natty first. It will take a LONG time [00:55] Lirth: different desktop environment and/or window manager [00:55] ActionParsnip: I haven't really noticed it on the main OS but for the login screen it's very different and I can't figure out why. [00:56] Lirth: are they the same release? [00:56] ActionParsnip: Yep. Both 11.10 64 bit [00:56] Lirth also were they both installed the same way? i.e. upgrade or fresh install? [00:56] Lirth: and both using the gnome defaults with Unity and whatnot? or is one xubuntu or lubuntu etc? [00:57] Lirth *bet* login window settings are different... [00:57] CFHowlett: Yeah. I had some problems installing my desktop though because of my gpu. I don't remember changing any login settings. [00:57] ActionParsnip: You know any good live usb makers besides pendrive that I can use to set up a persistent live usb for 12.04? [00:57] ActionParsnip: both on Unity [00:57] TheToff: the Ubuntu USB Startup Disk Creator? [00:58] Lirth clean install = 100% default settings. upgrade = retained settings ... [00:58] EvilResistance: For some reason, when I tried that one the changes were not persistent, as with the Pendrive Linux [00:58] Nothing I have tried allows for this particular file to stay changed [00:58] CFHowlett: Clean installs. I made it dual boot on my laptop and have only Ubuntu on my desktop (which I built a week ago). [00:59] TheToff: unetbootin [00:59] Lirth: are they both clean installs? === qazokm is now known as mutes [01:00] ActionParsnip: Will unetbootin allow me to set up a usb that will stay changed across reboot? [01:00] ActionParsnip: Yeah. I'm new to Ubuntu that I wasn't around before 11.10 [01:02] "dpkg -l | grep linux-image " gives me 6 listings, 2.6.32-21 to 2.6.32-39, I can safely remove the first three or so, correct? [01:03] TheToff: i believe so [01:04] ActionParsnip: Thanks. By the way, I have to ask, What exactly is the deal with your name? :P [01:04] tyatpi: if you run: uname -a you can see the running kernel. You can remove ANY of the others (with the version numbers) but not the running kernel [01:04] tyatpi: you only 'need' one kernel but in my opinion you should keep the two latest. -39 and -38 [01:04] When I do the 'expose' thing (Super+W) the windows are always in a different order. How does it organize them? [01:04] TheToff: its an old harry hill joke. If you PM me I can tell it [01:05] Why not. I need some humor lol [01:06] bastidrazor, ActionParsnip, thank you. I do know what I am running now with uname, just wanted to be sure that i can remove old versions after the - in the version number [01:07] my pointer stopped moving... I can tab through links on the webpage I'm on but can't get any response from the pointer... :/ [01:07] Dudes how can you play FLV files from utube . Tried VLC SM ,KM , M players "internal audio stream error") Seems I don't have the codec. If so how to get the codec [01:07] how to tablet (with on-screen keyboard)? [01:08] also, this is a 2d device [01:08] retrorex: Do other audio/video files work for you? VLC works fine for Youtube flvs here. [01:09] CacheMoney: If you get desperate I've found it's possible to reboot without the mouse. Let's hope you can get help before you need that. If not use the super key to open the dash and search for "Shut Down". Then hit enter [01:09] Lirth: what's the 'super key'? [01:09] CacheMoney: Have you tried unplugging and re-plugging the mouse? [01:09] CacheMoney, windows key [01:10] CacheMoney: The key with the super hero cape on it. [01:10] CacheMoney, or "command" on OSX [01:10] Jordan_U: I'm not using the mouse... i'm using the laptop scroll pad [01:10] Jordan_U yep dude mp3 avi mkv works fine not FLV [01:10] Lirt CacheMoney ctrl + alt + T = terminal , sudo shutdown -h now [01:10] Jordan_U, oh U [01:11] scientes: thanks === root is now known as Guest8360 [01:12] how do i get something like this http://lh3.ggpht.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TBDQ728H2KI/AAAAAAAABOk/UuQflm-B6rE/s288/iPad_Ubuntu-500x390.jpg [01:12] or this http://smashingweb.ge6.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Teaser__Ubuntu_Tablet_OS_by_Izobalax.png [01:13] like, with a on-screen keyboard [01:13] how do i search for a package that i can install, but say i already have java jdk 7, i want java jdk 6. how would i find it? [01:14] varatep: try apt-cache search java [01:14] !java [01:14] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [01:15] Bodsda: its not packaged anymore [01:15] varatep: as a java developer, I recommend you download the JDK releases you want from the oracle site and install those into a folder and not use any packaged with your distro [01:15] ActionParsnip: that's what I get for slacking on my irc support - out of date info :) [01:15] varatep: the link provided by ActionParsnip no doubt includes information on how to do this [01:15] linxeh: I've been having a problem. I can compile a java program, but I can't run it or I get: main class not found [01:16] Bodsda: its cool :) [01:16] linxeh, but that version is non-free [01:16] varatep: feel free to msg me ; if you get main class not found it isnt a java version issue [01:16] varatep: That doesn't sound like a problem that will be solved by using a different version of Java. [01:16] scientes: right. [01:16] It's a classpath problem, I'm guessing. [01:16] my hw raid controler has 6 sas disks in raid10 and it deosn't support live expansion, how can i expand it to 8 without losing data, could i possible image it add disks recreate raid and put the image back on ? [01:16] scientes: I'll stick with Oracle/Sun java. [01:17] I just installed openjdk-6.... I don't get an error now... thanks guys. [01:17] linxeh, i have a huge problem with using non-free platforms [01:18] thats alot woorse than using a non-free end-user program [01:18] but ill stop [01:19] scientes: I have a wider definition of free I suppose. I also don't believe in software patents (I live in a country which generally doesn't support them either) so much of the issue around Oracle java vs OpenJDK is moot. I prefer open solutions where possible; however, Linux distributions are HORRENDOUS at packaging relevant open Java packages, and it is generally better to avoid their packaging. Eclipse and Netbeans are good examples of this. [01:19] but yes, we should stop :) [01:20] linxeh, well i wasn't aware it was a patent issue [01:20] which even though i live in a crazy country i largely choose to ignore [01:20] cause its insanity [01:20] Hello all. Anyone here have experience using the opencv package on ubuntu? I can't figure out how to link. [01:20] Guys: one user on this 11.10 computer can see and use the sound devices happily. Another user gets no sound devices to choose from in the sound settings menu. Why would that be? [01:20] my hw raid controler has 6 sas disks in raid10 and it deosn't support live expansion, how can i expand it to 8 without losing data, could i possible image it add disks recreate raid and put the image back on ? [01:20] linxeh, ubuntu managed to package netbeans [01:21] @Miggs: I have the same problem with 11.10, and before with 11.04 [01:21] thats one of them; one of the others is certain components included being closed source (eg Oracle purchased licences to include codecs etc but cant release the source so have to reimplement or whatever). [01:21] Miggs, you have to add the user to the sound group [01:21] Miggs, *audio [01:21] @scientes: what if, let's say, that user is root? [01:21] scientes, thanks. I'll look at the groups first thing [01:21] scientes: sure - they've packaged eclipse in the past too. badly. [01:21] Root, by definition, has membership in all groups, right? [01:22] Miggs, it could be a problem with alsa not forwarding to pulseaudio [01:22] hey everyone. I just installed ubuntu ultimate 3.0 on my laptop acer aspire 5517 and now the wireless doesn't work. I've tried everything I could think of but nothing is working. [01:22] ass i see that on precise here the only user that is part of group:audio is pulse [01:22] @beck: I know how that works. PM me [01:22] so the suid pulse is the only way to get out sound [01:22] scientes, You were bang on. Adding the pulse-access group to my user fixed it straightaway [01:23] and it could be that you need to start the pulseaudio session daemon with pulseaudio --daemonize [01:23] Thank you. [01:23] Miggs, np [01:24] linxeh, packaging of ruby is also horrible [01:24] however, netbeans from repos has worked for me [01:28] brb in ten [01:28] I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on an older laptop of mine (Gateway, dual-core, 2gb Ram), however, when I attempt to connect to the wireless network I can't. In the 'Network Menu' there isn't even an option for 'Enable Wireless' [01:28] lllk45263 [01:28] any advice? [01:29] CacheMoney: do you see your wifi network device info in the output of lspci ? [01:30] scientes, perhaps you can help sort out another part of this mess. The computer in question is an HTPC (nVidia ION). I just moved to an HDMI connection for surround sound and lots of things I used to do apparently don't work anymore. Specifically, I can't ssh into the HTPC with X forwarding and play music anymore. Any idea why? [01:32] Bodsda: I don't see the name of my wireless network. Am I looking for my router or wireless card info? [01:32] CacheMoney: wifi card info - if you can pastebin the output of lspci and ifconfig I can take a look. [01:33] Bodsda: I wish I had an internet connection on the computer... [01:33] in the new GNOME 3.0 shell how do you move things like the clock? [01:33] I can't figure out how to customize anything, right click is useless [01:33] need help with wireless card on acer aspire 5517 with ubuntu ultimate 3.0 [01:33] wireless doesn't work now [01:34] CacheMoney: oh, yeah - hah :) [01:34] Miggs, well it could be forwarding your pulse, it was really awesome [01:34] haha [01:34] *if it was really awesome [01:34] also, Miggs are you using sound through the HDMI cable? [01:35] beck: ultimate isn't supported here [01:35] I used to have the pulse audio sink working properly but at the moment my laptop can't see the pulse sinks with the avihi browser so something new and painful is broken there. This is a much simpler playing the music on the machine thing. [01:35] Yeah, everything going through HDMI now. [01:35] Miggs, try padev whatamanot [01:35] Ok, thank you ActionParsnip [01:35] Miggs, oh yeah nvidia [01:36] Bodsda: is the wifi card info follow a Host bridge: or PCI bridge: output? [01:36] I see a bunch of those [01:36] i was thinking, if it was radeon you have to pass a parameter with grub [01:36] Miggs: if you want to remote control the sound coming from a remote PC, then connect via SSH and use x forwarding, then launch your GUI app there. It will show on the client but the sound will come out of the remote system's soundcard [01:36] CacheMoney: mine follows a 'Network Controller: " [01:37] ActionParsnip, that's what I've been doing in the past but moving to HDMI broke it. [01:37] Fortunately, I've just found the fix I was looking for. [01:37] Bodsda: "Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) [01:37] Miggs, well does sound work locally? [01:37] scientes, yep. That was the annoying bit. [01:37] just as a matter of interest on 10.04 when I get the notification/window for "software updates" why does my CPU usage go up to 100% [01:37] The fix was to make a ~/.asoundrc that says the hdmi is the default audio out device. [01:37] what is the reason for that -- it's just a notification window [01:37] CacheMoney: cool, so the card is recognized. When you run ifconfig is there anything other than lo or eth0/1 ? [01:37] Miggs: strange, the app will work like a local app [01:38] Miggs, are you using the propritary nvidia driver? [01:38] Bodsda: No, just 'eth0' and 'lo' [01:38] ActionParsnip, I think the problem was that when I would log in over ssh with x forwarding it wouldn't load all the gnome preferences and one of those was setting the default audio device. [01:38] Miggs, is the ~/.asoundrc set to use pulseaudio, or just ALSA directly? [01:38] From the name I'm guessing it's ALSA. [01:38] on 10.04 when I get the notification/window for "software updates" why does my CPU usage go up to 100% <- why? [01:39] CacheMoney: Does the laptop have an off/on wifi button? Maybe as an FN type key? [01:39] Miggs, well then pulseaudio apps wont work unless you set pulseaudio to send through alsa [01:39] Bodsda: Yes, the wifi is turned 'On' currently [01:39] rhin0: use: top what is the highest CPU? [01:39] keep getting errors when I pacman -Syu. Says host unavailable, but can ping www's and connect to the webz [01:39] im saying its when the update window shows [01:39] thats all [01:39] CacheMoney: can you switch it, then wait 5-10 seconds, then rerun ifconfig and see if there is any additional output? [01:39] notime else [01:39] scientes, what does it use by default? I thought it used ALSA anyway? [01:40] Bodsda: switch it off, wait 10 secs, switch on, then ifconfig ? [01:40] right i start "update manager" [01:40] is there a way to have a minimal GUI for vnc without the whole X hoopla on an ubuntu server? [01:40] CacheMoney: no, don't do the switch back on - also, what distro did you say, 11.10? [01:41] ok its only when the update manager comes in automatically ActionParsnip [01:41] bodsda: 11.10 [01:41] forgetr it minor glitch [01:41] i will forget it [01:41] bodsda: re-ran ifconfig it looks like the same output [01:42] irule: just a normal distro like arch or centOS for a server. ubuntu is HORRIBLE for servers [01:42] i have a ? why when i run the software center it lags alot [01:42] CacheMoney: ok, turn the wifi back on - is your laptop a HP nx6325? [01:43] bodsda: its a Gateway MX6453 [01:43] n1x4 indeed, but it is already installed and working, it just ocurred to me that I want to remotely run an X app :P [01:43] irule: just ssh into it [01:43] How would one upgrade to the beta? I thought there was a command but it slips me :P [01:44] irule: dont login to server (leave at login prompt) all your daemons will run [01:44] Oh sod. Now I've broken sound in XBMC. [01:44] I have a uefi motherboard in the desktop machine I just built. I've gone through hell and back with 2 different distros before this. Can someone please tell me: If I pop an ubuntu 64 bit installation disk in that machine, is it going to install a uefi bootable system? [01:44] CacheMoney: try this please 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer && sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source' then reboot and test - source http://nfolamp.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/ubuntu-11-10-getting-wireless-bcm4311-working/ [01:44] how can i remove software that is not needed on ubuntu [01:45] luisr: sudo rm -rf /* [01:45] sudo apt-get remove luisr [01:45] luisr: Bleachbit does a nice job of this [01:45] or go into synaptic - untick box - click on apply changes [01:45] !sudo | h1x4 [01:45] h1x4: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

I've gone through hell and back with 2 different distros before this. Can someone please tell me: If I pop an ubuntu 64 bit installation disk in that machine, is it going to install a uefi bootable system? [01:48] stephan_arch, meebo [01:48] irule: Ahh i got you. Which app are you trying to use? if its a server you really dont need anything that runs X period [01:48] I need my pc [01:48] jiohdi, isnt meebo website based? [01:48] yohan i don't think "uefi" specifically has triggered anyone [01:49] stephan yes [01:49] i just want to remove all the crap that i added to it [01:49] n1x4 chrome :) [01:49] Now if I could just run a beta dist-upgrade on my system :/ [01:49] I want a programm on the computer :) [01:49] I'm not trying to be a jerk but it's true [01:49] irule: why the hell would you put chrome on a server..lol [01:49] CacheMoney: oh... yeah. sorry - no internet. Your going to have to download the package from packages.ubuntu.com then transfer it via usb to the laptop, then install it with dpkg [01:49] i think you should just try it - why not -- if its old it will run 32 bit new it'll run 64 bit -- 64 bit just won't install [01:49] irule: if you need a browser, get a txt based one like lynx [01:49] YohanMeister, dont be hard to yourself :) [01:49] probably best to try 32 bit first [01:49] n1x4 downlading from a file server that puts limits by client ip [01:49] irule: wget [01:50] To answer my own question it's sudo do-release-upgrade -d; [01:50] * Gaming4JC goes to get beta build :D [01:50] n1x4 not that easy, it authenticates with javascript/etc [01:50] Bodsda: which package should I download from Ubuntu? [01:50] yohanmeister just trying to install something will not damage anythign - try 32 bit ubuntu then or/and 64 bit ubuntu [01:50] I'm not sure what you mean stephan_arch. Alls I know is I need to find a distro that will install an efi bootable system through the gui without any hassle - and soon. [01:51] if you know what board you have you will know if it is 64 bit [01:51] irule: then get the source and compile/build it yourself man.... [01:51] you have a graphical install and a standard gui install [01:51] anyone use pulseaudio to stream sound from one system to another? [01:51] in case your graphics card can't even handle anything [01:51] CacheMoney: select a mirror from here to download the file -- http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/all/firmware-b43-installer/download [01:51] heya.. === wilson is now known as Guest44949 [01:51] it isn't a 32/64 bit issue its a BIOS/UEFI issue [01:51] does anyone know a better msn tool than amsn for linux? [01:52] n1x4 : Please do not recommend potentially dangerous commands. not even asa joke. [01:52] well just try it [01:52] pidgin? [01:52] pangolin: a little late there hoss [01:52] stephan/ [01:52] ? [01:52] stephan_arch: Pidgin :D [01:52] n1x4 : Just letting you know not to do it again. [01:52] stephan_arch: or you could probably run MSN messenger under wine, kind of blapshemey to Linux though. [01:52] pidgin communicats with aol it;ll communicate with the microsoft shit [01:53] rhin0 : no swearing in here please [01:53] rhin0: please watch your language. This is a family friendly channel [01:53] couldnt get Xchat to work with irc.freenode.net/ [01:53] Gaming4JC, and does pidgin support camera and microphone via msn protocoll? [01:53] pangolin: lol [01:53] that's what I did for the last week, first with fedora then with gentoo. I'm just really fatigued over this whole uefi bs. I need to 'know' what will work for me. What is 'known' to work on uefi. [01:53] had to install firefox addon [01:53] stephan_arch: sadly it only recently supported that for GooglTalk :/ [01:53] chatzilla [01:54] If anyone here has a uefi system please let me know about your experience so maybe I can get my pc back [01:54] I've followed "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDirectoryPHP" but I still don't get php in user directories [01:54] Bodsda: where should I place the file on my computer? [01:54] bbiab :D [01:54] it keeps downloading the php file as source [01:54] Gaming4JC, so no msn support? [01:54] YohanMeister: If you have a UEFI enabled bios, your motherboard manufacturer should be able to provide a list of supported boot loaders/OS's [01:54] any ideas? [01:55] yeah, they do - Win this and Win that, etc etc [01:55] no linux - never linux [01:55] are you trying to set up a web server pedrocr [01:55] rhin0, that I am [01:55] try lighttpd [01:55] with fastcgi and php [01:55] its so much easier than apache [01:55] whats the best irc client in Ubuntu? [01:55] rhin0, that wasn't helpful [01:56] it was helpful to me at the time [01:56] Guest44949, dont know about best but I like xchat [01:56] YohanMeister: no surprises there, what linux distro is going to pay for there boot loaders to be signed when UEFI may not become mainstream. Having said that, I would expect RHEL to appear on the lists shortly [01:57] also lighttpd is faster than apache [01:57] far better [01:57] Bodsda, haha yeah [01:57] hmm [01:57] I couldnt get freenode server to work in Xchat.. or don;t know how [01:57] Bodsda: I have the package copied onto my Desktop. What is the command I need to run in the terminal? [01:57] Guest44949: try pidgin? [01:57] Hello [01:58] xchat is buggy IMO [01:58] CacheMoney: oh sorry - I missed your last message - you need sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/ [01:58] using Chatzilla now [01:58] pidgin lacks functionality but always wroks [01:58] pidgin rocks hard [01:58] Hello all, I'm having issues connecting too an SFTP server I have set-up at home, I keep getting this http://paste.ubuntu.com/878338/ it was working fine the other day. I know it's not my firewalls.. [01:58] rhin0, i use it. never had an issue. [01:58] stephan_arch: http://wiki.winehq.org/MSN_Messenger_webcam_support or https://code.google.com/p/webcamstudio/ is your best bet [01:58] YohanMeister: although, having said that - I remember reading somewhere that initial UEFI implementations should have a disable option somewhere in the bios or as a jumper on the mobo? [01:59] stephan_arch: Also aMSN supposedly supports webcam, have you tested it in Cheeze to see if it even works at all on Ubuntu? [01:59] well Bodsda... I'm at my witts end with this. I built that machine over a month ago and haven't been able to use it. At this point I would be happy finding just one linux distro, any distro, that will just install a uefi bootable system on my machine and isn't gonna send me to the nut house for frustration and wasted time/effort. [01:59] !webcam | stephan_arch [01:59] gartral: if you reboot the server, does it help [01:59] stephan_arch: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [01:59] is pulseaudio server the one that's sending the sound... or recieving? [01:59] ActionParsnip: No. [02:00] YohanMeister: well, you should pick a different hobby :) sorry [02:00] YohanMeister: UEFI issues? [02:00] im sure you have to spend time on this YohanMeister and google around / look on forums a lot -- you appear to have built an obscure set of hardware [02:00] what is uefi? [02:00] ubottu, I dont want a wine program on linux [02:00] stephan_arch: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:01] it's an asus m5a 99x evo - a pretty popular board [02:01] crfripper: pulseaudio receives the audio from other programs [02:01] well you're doing something wrong -- if it's a PC ubuntu will run on it [02:01] Gaming4JC, it works sometimes but isnt there something better than amsn? [02:01] and sends it to the sound card [02:01] bodsda: It said "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of firmware-b43-install: firmware-b43-installer depends on b43-fwcutter (>= 1:014-9); however: Package b43-fwcutter is not installed. [02:01] YohanMeister: in your hardware setup is there a "Legacy Mode"? [02:01] I use this board YohanMeister [02:01] ActionParsnip: I tried the unetbootin setup for my live usb, and re-tried editing /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and when I reboot, nada [02:02] TheToff: I always use "usbcreatorgtk" to create USB keys [02:02] has never ever failed [02:02] not even once [02:03] for an ubuntu installation -- although retry to blank the key a few times plug it in and out again if has failed to blank [02:03] @rhin0: I think my problem is that I need to edit a system file and keep it edited, and I just don't think that a persistent USB will work for that [02:03] gartral: yes, it will just install that legacy way on it's own I think. No settings or anything to worry about. The problem is - I chose to purchase uefi (maybe a stupid decision idk) but I want uefi and I'm pretty sure it isn't impossible. In fact, I thought I had heard through the grapevine that ubuntu will just plain install a uefi bootable system. This is what I was trying to check up on by coming to this channel. [02:03] I'm gonna have to perma-mod the damn thing somehow [02:03] i want to covert from xubuntu interface to unity interface [02:03] YohanMeister, try this live iso image: http://rsync.it-infrastrukturen.org/public-mariadb/binary-hybrid-squeeze-amd64-mariadb53-gnome.iso [02:04] CacheMoney: guess what happens next :) this may take some time - lets go and get 'that' package, copy it across, install it, then try installing the first package again :) - select the amd64 or i386 link at the bottom of this page depending on if your system is 64bit or 32bit respectively http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/b43-fwcutter [02:04] xubuntu is not unity hamed [02:04] ironm: and you installed ubuntu to it? And it is uefi bootable and not legacy? [02:04] YohanMeister, you can install it also to your HDD [02:04] unity interface is ubuntu 11.04 onwards [02:04] not now YohanMeister .. debian [02:04] xubuntu is xfce not gnome hamed [02:04] its a different desktop environment completely [02:04] YohanMeister: can you get it too boot in a libe enviro? [02:05] some one give me command before i convert to unity interface [02:05] so, if you want unity hamed, you have to start using standard ubuntu not xubuntu [02:05] Hello [02:05] you cannot run unity if you are using xubuntu hamed [02:05] YohanMeister, http://rsync.it-infrastrukturen.org/public-mariadb/README_MariaDB-live-images.txt [02:05] just interface [02:05] can someone here recommand a Torrent client for my Ubuntu [02:05] hey guys, where is the file where you can see which modules will start when you boot? [02:05] Im new to this Linux and still learning [02:05] unity is part of ubuntu not xubuntu - xubuntu doesn't contain unity [02:06] ExtremeDevilz: transmission - may be installed by default [02:06] gartral: what is " libe enviro" ? Live environment ??

At one point I had a working fedora 16 install but it was legacy and I lose 1/3 of my disk space bc of it. I have to have gpt (have to) and I really, reallllly would prefer uefi boot (but I'm willing to sacrifice that latter if I absolutely have to).

I can choose to make myself administrator though I do not have permission to make new files inside some directories. [02:11] Anyone? [02:11] how long did you wait .. is it form a usb key [02:11] if i click on "try ubuntu" only, i can keep seeing the system [02:11] maybe try lower version of ubuntu (maybe 10.04) [02:12] no Dvd install [02:12] well selite. You elevate your priviledges using "sudo" but usually that's not really want you want. [02:12] the thing is, I have over 4 days solid into a gentoo install on that machine - just trying something and see if it works might cause me to lose all that work. I only want to lose it if what I'm replacing it with will 'definitely work' [02:12] maybe try from usb key [02:12] i (how to say 'brancher') i plugged?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [02:23] i have wifi working on my laptob in unity 11.10 but the wired internet not working could any one help me [02:24] ExtremeDevilz: try using gnome-shell instead of unity [02:25] uh okay sorry still new to Ubuntu and I cant really find a guide for it =\ cause Im used Windows XP before this but I find Linux faster for my netbook compare to windows [02:25] now using Pigin for Chat, how do I add irc.freenode.net to it?, or create an account for irc.freenode.net on Pigin [02:26] ExtremeDevilz: just using the OS will teach you more than any book [02:26] ExtremeDevilz there is no "guide" to customizing Ubuntu [02:26] ExtremeDevilz: did you learn windows using a book? [02:26] Bodsda: You are the man! How do I repay you? There's no way I could have done that myself... [02:26] UberSlackr: there kinda is ;) [02:26] ActionParsnip, Nope Im using Windows since I was a Small Boy (o.o) Windows 95 - > XP [02:27] ExtremeDevilz: then learn ubuntu the same way [02:27] trying to use Pigin for Chat, how do I add irc.freenode.net to it?, or create an account for irc.freenode.net on Pigin [02:27] CacheMoney1: No worries, glad its sorted for you [02:27] ActionParsnip from my time with Ubuntu its pretty much google something you want to do. [02:28] ActionParsnip never seen a guide that covers just customizing Ubuntus look. Just articles on different things to change [02:29] O:-) [02:29] ActionParsnip but Im not expert, might just be a guide dedicated to changing Ubuntus look [02:29] !manual > UberSlackr [02:29] UberSlackr, please see my private message [02:30] !manual > ExtremeDevilz I'd just use the OS [02:30] ExtremeDevilz, please see my private message [02:30] ActionParsnip Do you have a clever ubuttu command them will fix my Install issue? [02:30] thanks mate [02:31] !sentences end with a period > ubottu [02:31] cooldman224: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:31] I'm trying to send audio from an ubuntu machine to another machine with windows host, ubuntu VM.... possible? === FOFG is now known as nightcrawler [02:31] btw how come Ubuntu works smoothly then windows =\ what is the min req ? [02:31] which windows [02:31] crfripper google Samatra [02:32] I meen Samba [02:32] zakidine, why was i mentioned about dvd or usb ? [02:32] I am lookong for an onboard keyboard for ubuntu [02:32] I know what samba share it [02:32] with fast language change :) [02:33] crfripper also Logmein Hamachi might work. I use Samaba for when im connected to the same network and Hamachi when im at work or else where [02:33] ExtremeDevilz: shared libs help a lot :) [02:33] !requirements | ExtremeDevilz [02:33] ExtremeDevilz: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [02:33] hola ActionParsnip [02:33] stephan_arch: gok or onboard are good [02:33] hi hiexpo [02:33] samba can stream all system sounds? [02:34] crfripper also Logmein Hamachi will make the Server/Linux box think you are behind the same network allowing you to access your network shares [02:34] ActionParsnip, can you change the language on that tools fast?:) [02:34] pulseaudio can supposedly do it but I can't seem to get it configured right [02:34] crifripper do you want to "SEND" or "STREAM" [02:34] I'm not trying to send audio files, I'm trying to stream speaker output [02:34] crfripper, install pavucontrol (pulseaudio volume control) [02:35] Crifripper your original question said SEND [02:35] I have pavu, papref [02:35] papref, dont know that:) [02:35] stephan_arch: no idea, not something I use [02:35] I was wondering what kind of games you have in mind that I could get addicted to I was play LOL but it seem really boaring I want to play adventure [02:36] papref pulseaudio preferences is where you setup network access, network server, multicast/RTP [02:36] crfripper: do you mean like control the sounds coming out of a remote pc [02:36] yes I have 2 systems, one has speakers, I'm trying to get both system sounds outputting over the speakers [02:37] crfripper: just connect via SSH with x frwarding and run a GUI sound app. The app will display on your client PC but the sound will come out of the remote system [02:37] Have you tried an Audio Cable splitter? $5 at walmart [02:37] no that's the hack way to do it... if I were going to use a cable I'd just 3.5mm line out of one to line in of the other [02:38] but I have no male/male 3.5mm stereo cable and want to do it over LAN anyway [02:39] crfripper: i use one of these :) http://www.maplin.co.uk/3-way-stereo-audio-phono-switch-box-97932 [02:39] that's like using a KVM switch instead of synergy [02:39] where can you change the language on onboard? [02:40] there's software ways to do it... [02:40] I have synergy working awesome and just want the same thing happening with my speakers [02:40] wouldn't sending Audio over LAN just cause lag/delay in the sending of audio signals [02:42] no [02:42] here's the guide I've been looking at [02:42] https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/332418-weekend-project-using-pulseaudio-to-share-sound-across-all-your-computers [02:42] Yes, just like there is delay with Synergy [02:43] and with all Remote Access software === Xeneth is now known as Xeneth_test === Xeneth_test is now known as Xeneth [02:44] =\ I hate this Unity [02:44] ExtremeDevil uninstall it [02:45] ExtremeDevil http://bit.ly/ytmgGL [02:46] hello [02:46] hi [02:47] anyone here [02:47] no [02:47] ok [02:47] where I get stuck is [02:47] With both options enabled on the test machines, switch back to the Volume Control window and look at the Output Devices and Input Devices tabs. You should see new entries in each, representing sound cards discovered by PulseAudio on the other machines. [02:48] so,who are you [02:48] I look at the input and output devices and ther eis nothing new [02:48] having one of those 'Killing all remaining processes [fail]' issue... [02:49] heihei [02:49] ExtremeDevilz: don't use it then, install xfce4 package, log off and log into the xfce session [02:50] 3 === Xeneth is now known as Xeneth_test [02:51] does a terminal-emulator like yakuake load ~/.bashrc ? I want to try another terminal and yakuake seems like a good choice according to reviews [02:51] god this is so aggrevating, the things to check are so few and simple but it just doesn't work === Xeneth_test is now known as Xeneth [02:52] crfripper make sure your Firewall is not blocking anything [02:53] anyone here use bumblebee? [02:53] in virtual machine? [02:54] You are running it in a Virtual Machine? and not two physical machines? [02:54] 2 physical machines, 1 ubuntu, 1 windows host with ubuntu virtual machine === max is now known as Guest73163 [02:55] From my understanding of Virtual Machines they do not properly attach to the network. They are assigned a different "Gateway" IP [02:56] And in order for Pulseaudio to work properly you have to connect to the same Network [02:57] Check to make sure that you Virtual machine is showing the same Network information as the physical machine running Ubuntu [02:57] you're RIGHT [02:57] my vm's IP is 192.168.56.1 [02:57] If not then you have to Manual set the virtual machine to the same network [02:58] my ubuntu machines 192.168.1.4 [02:58] Your virtual machine should be "192.168.1.XXX" [02:59] Where XXX is a number not already used by a machine on the network [02:59] crfripper: if you set the virtual system to use a bridged IP it will get DHCP from your router [02:59] crfripper: 192.168.56.0/24 is the virtualbox virtual network range [02:59] ^^ There u go. ActionParsnipe said it. I couldnt remember wtf it was called [03:00] so all I need to do is bridge connections? [03:00] Yes [03:00] basically [03:01] or is it better to manually assign IP [03:01] http://r3dux.org/2009/09/how-to-make-virtualbox-use-your-routers-dhcp-to-get-an-ip-address-in-linux/ [03:01] Hi all, I'm having trouble booting Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell XPS 630i. I can boot from USB just fine but once I finish the install it hangs on a purple screen before reaching the Ubuntu logo. Any ideas? [03:02] You can just change your VirtualBox network settings from NAT to Bridged Adapter and point it at eth0/wlan0 or whichever connection is being used for networking. [03:02] I'm just going with manual IP for now [03:03] most everything else I have is static IP [03:03] Aarossig_ I think Ubuntu has something against Dell. Because I'm having trouble install Ubuntu on a Dell (First time with a dell computer) and its not working so well either... [03:03] I'm an idiot, can't believe I didn't check that [03:04] crfripper: basic networking dude...subnets :) [03:04] crifripper: you would be better off setting things to Bridge so that all Network settings are configured Automaticlly and Correctly [03:04] UberSlackr, Dell used to have ubuntu on a couple of releases. [03:04] Hello, I need help or at least confirmation [03:04] I've been having trouble getting unity 3d to work [03:05] UberSlackr: well.. this is odd because I have a Dell PowerEdge server and a Dell "e-mail computer" and both work fine. [03:05] restarting machine [03:05] about a week ago, i decided to try 12.04, so i downloaded it and set everything up [03:05] hey guys, I cant find the autostart manage in ubuntu 11.10 [03:05] Fryodorovna: I was kidding. Because I've been successful in installed Ubuntu on 100s of other machine. But the 1 time I'm having problems its on a DELL [03:05] where is it? [03:05] When I boot into the recovery mode it stops at setting the rtc_cmos time [03:05] does that help? [03:05] Bobbeh, if it is 12.04 #ubuntu+1 is yourv channel [03:06] Bobbeh: ask in #ubuntu+1 for anything 12.04 related please [03:06] oh ok [03:06] ok bye [03:06] whats the irc command for changing channels [03:06] ? [03:06] from in chat [03:06] TheToff: /join #name [03:06] Thanks AP [03:06] TheToff: e.g. /join #ubuntu+1 [03:07] UberSlackr: AFAIK, Dell sells computers with ubuntu pre-installed [03:07] Dell is also shite. [03:07] OMG PEOPLE I WAS KIDDING! [03:07] they did for a time, may still do [03:08] Anyone here ever use any of the derivatives, like Bodhi? [03:08] All I know is Im having problems installing Ubuntu. Never before have I had issues, until I try to install it on a DELL [03:08] I like Dell, all of mine were "hand-me-downs" from firms I have worked for [03:08] did you try toggling IDE/AHCI [03:08] TheToff I have a Ubuntu Server running does that count [03:08] there is nothing like a free computer that kicks ass :) [03:08] lol I actually liked working with Server, but nah [03:09] aarossig: You said it [03:09] Nothing beats free [03:09] except for kick ass AND free [03:09] Well this is a Hand-Me-Down Dell - trying to install Ubuntu on it for my Son. but its stuck on the Loading screen. And no Keyboard commands are working [03:09] so I can not enter Command Screen === glenn is now known as Guest11067 [03:10] UberSlackr: Can you boot the live usb or cd? [03:10] @UberSlackr: Which version are you installing, and also what aarossig said [03:10] aarossig_ no clue. I downloaded the Install .iso [03:10] yeah I can't ping my VM from ubuntu machine, this is messed uop [03:10] my problem is that I can boot the live usb but not when it is installed... [03:11] UberSlackr: yeah, so did you put it on a cd then? [03:11] yes [03:11] UberSlackr: did you boot into recovery mode? [03:11] Well I already had it on a CD because I used the same CD for many other installs [03:12] aarossig_ The keyboard is not responding to any input. When PC is powered on, its goes straight to boot from CD, then the Ubuntu install screen comes up (Splash) and it stays there [03:12] has been there for 1hr 20min now [03:12] the little dots are chaning colors but nothing else has happened yet [03:13] UberSlackr: I'm not sure.. what dell do you have? [03:13] how much ram? [03:13] Dell Demension 2350 [03:13] like 512 i think [03:14] 512 should be fine... UberSlackr: I'm not sure what you could do... [03:14] hi i lost my user password for ubuntu 11.10. can anyone help me to reset it . its urgent. [03:15] I install Ubuntu Server on it just fine. No problems. I wiped the HDD and now Ubuntu Desktop will not install [03:15] UberSlackr: so it is probably an issue relating to the graphics card then [03:15] UberSlackr: maybe... but that is a total guess [03:16] idk, might be. Machine was running Windows XP so I dont see why it wouldnt handle Ubuntu [03:16] Never ran into the conflict before [03:17] UberSlackr: you could start with the base ubuntu (ie.. 20MB iso) and gradually build it up [03:17] Im downloading a Older copy of Ubuntu Desktop (8) and will try that. [03:17] UberSlackr: I've fone it before, it's quite fun :) [03:17] s/fone/done/ [03:17] Point to a link of the base iso download? [03:18] @UberSlackr: assuming that the hardware previously worked, and the disk works in other computers... perhaps you could try one of the alternate downloads for your dell [03:18] I need to be able to ping the VM first of all [03:18] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download [03:19] crfipper there is no Windows Version of the software you are using? Why the Virtual Machine? [03:19] this seems to indicate you can setup a server in windows itself === MogDog66 is now known as Mog|Away [03:19] ubuntuforums.org/archive/index/php/t-791643.html [03:20] I'm trying to setup GitHub on my new Ubuntu install. I created a repository, made a directory and file on my local machine, went to $ git push origin master but received "Permission denied (publickey)." [03:20] UberSlackr, any release before 10.04 is not supported any more and 10.10 is done in april [03:21] Hey there , anyone know a good room for web design html/css advice ? [03:21] CacheMoney1, you need to setup and ssh authorized keyfile [03:23] chrislustic, #html , #css [03:23] no idk whether to go the VM route or windows binaries route [03:23] Fyodorobna just because Ubuntu doesnt support it, doesn mean it can be downloaded and used [03:23] UberSlackr, sure but you will get no support here for a eol. [03:24] crfripper I would go windows route. that way the networking is done for you and you will not have to use system resources running a virtual machine [03:25] Fyodorobna And your point is? If the Ubuntu 8 release does not work. then I will look into trashing the Computer and getting a different one. Not a problem [03:25] does anyone know if there is a way to import music to rhythymbox and have it actually copy the music to your library folder from within rhythymbox? [03:25] UberSlackr, no point just giving you a heads up and by the way love your attitude. :) [03:26] aarossig_ im not finding a 20MBish ISO for a basic install. I've found an "Alternative" install iso, but its 600+MB [03:30] !minimal | UberSlackr [03:30] UberSlackr: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:30] the option in the right click menu to publish via ubuntu one my folder is grayed out, what can be wrong? [03:31] what's the command to remove a folder (and all subsequent folders)? [03:31] CacheMoney1: rm -r [03:32] Jordan_U thnx [03:32] anyone know anything about eggdrop? [03:32] UberSlackr: Note that the minimal installer downloads packages from the internet and is only as minimal in what it installs as the options you choose in the installer.

There are equivelants but they do lack some features in the Adobe flash [03:59] atubuntu: swfdec, gnash and lightspark are all in the repos [03:59] atubuntu, when someone makes a statement like that take it with a grain of salt, it is a personal opinion. [03:59] ActionParsnip: how do i fit them as browser plugins [04:00] Fyodorovna: in the case of gnash it isn't; gnash is on par w/ Flash 9 at best [04:00] pulseaudio device chooser is old [04:00] szal, I was not referring to your posts. :0 [04:00] atubuntu: most will add themselves into the plugins folder. You should always remove the standing flash plugin first, so that you do not have more than one flash plugin [04:01] szal, this one was what I meant "worst piece of software in the world" [04:02] yeah, that was just my opinion [04:03] even though adobe seems to be really trying to fit that description from what I've seen [04:03] how do I play a dvd with mplayer? mplayer dvd://1 is not working [04:04] thre is no option to enter an server IP in any of the current pulseaudio tools [04:05] "There can be no doubt that socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

[04:39] im a bit late to this game [04:40] Scheisse.... I can't remember... does the Sattelite have the little jumper next to the battery? [04:40] webnet: His bios is either misconfigured/corrupted or he has a major hardware problem [04:40] webnet: he can't boot from any device [04:40] DinoMuffin, gotcha thx :) [04:40] reguardless of setting [04:41] At least, that's what I've gathered [04:41] thats a crappt situation to be in [04:41] the cmos batt removal tips dont show where it is and the only thing that looks like a batt wont come out [04:41] I've been there, done that, with an older Satellite, but damned if I can't remember how to get out of it. The general question is this: Have you tried to remove your hard drive, and run it attached to another machine? [04:42] i need to remove batt to reset bios [04:42] Guest2466, does it look like a watch battery? [04:42] i think it does look like a watch batt [04:42] @Guest2466: When you remove the bottom cover, you should see a flat round battery, possibly with an orange tape on it [04:42] its pink [04:42] It is held together with basically plastic [04:42] Still [04:42] about between a nickel in size? Guest2466 [04:42] Same stuff [04:42] and its soldered solid [04:42] ok, it isn't [04:42] dime size [04:42] There is no way it would be [04:43] oh that wont be it Guest24 [04:43] * Guest2466 [04:43] its the closest think to a batt [04:43] It should be flat as a pancake [04:43] Guest2466, it wil be silver shiny and between nickel and quarter sized [04:43] as big around as an american nickel [04:43] yep its the only little round part on the thing [04:43] and it will be held in place either with plastic or tape, even [04:44] You should be able to pluck the tape [04:44] could also be in there with a tiny metal clasp [04:44] And therefore get the CMOS out [04:44] and it will not come out without breaking it they really made this atough fix son [04:44] True, webnet [04:44] @Guest2466 then tape the sucker [04:44] plus i cant get any good info [04:45] Guest2466, sorry to bug but idk the model, its too far back in chat for mwe to see [04:45] what is the model?

For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. [05:04] The product manual [05:04] ActionParsnip, yes. [05:04] cdnjay: ubuntu is a distro [05:05] Reedyseth: I have sqlite 3.6.22 installed on my ubuntu 10.04 ; so what app is it that need your sqlite 3.6.16 ? [05:05] satyanash: who cares then :) [05:05] i already looked at that juan its of no use [05:05] ActionParsnip: Sorry, meant version. I think 9.04 was the last version to support ARMv6? Not sure if 8.04 had a version that supported ARMv6? [05:06] ActionParsnip, aah.. I wouldn't, but the laptop is not mine. Not that it really matters, but I wanted Ubuntu to be as less confusing as possible. [05:06] satyanash more than likely 1 win7 is your recovery, one is the active win7 partition. If you kill the recovery partition, you cannot reset your windows to factory fresh settings. [05:06] any ddns fu here? [05:06] so where to find files to flash bios 1.70 [05:07] Guest2466: also here is the .exe for the BIOS [05:07] sacarlson: none i just that i install that version, do you have the server to download your version ??? [05:07] systemd? [05:07] i need multiseat [05:07] i got this thing here where the RRs that the dhcp server creates totally ignore all the TTLs in the zone [05:07] http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/sm45v20.exe [05:07] http://pastebin.com/NnSEd9bv [05:07] sacarlson: or how to remove sqlite3 that i compile and did make install ?? [05:07] how to boot that from usb, or whatever, I got no clue [05:08] cdnjay: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/oneiric/release/ mentions arm... [05:08] the leases are 24 hours, the zone's TTL is 24 hours, but the dynamic dns updates only get a ttl of 3600 [05:08] Reedyseth: I would hope that compile package would also include a remove script [05:08] sacarlson: me too but it didn't :S [05:09] scientes: http://www2.userful.com/products/userful-multiseat-linux [05:09] CFHowlett, how come both of them boot to the same copy of Windows? [05:09] scientes: multiseat goodness :) [05:09] JuanTheBurro during post, you'll see the screen show "press fsomething for boot options". do that, change teh priority to boot USBb before anything else. [05:09] ActionParsnip, thats non-commercial only [05:09] that was another butthole file [05:09] Also, Guest2466, try reading this: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletinDetail.jsp?soid=627009&pf=true [05:09] Reedyseth: well it's the ld command that links the libs so there must be some manual method to override link loader [05:09] satyanash the restore doesn't boot - it's actually hidden by default iirc. It's only active during the win7 restore process [05:10] Reedyseth: what version of ubuntu is this your now running? [05:10] CFHowlett: This is for Guest2466, regarding how to boot a flashable BIOS file from a USB to recover his toshiba laptop [05:10] scientes: its free for 2 user version, is that enough? [05:10] ActionParsnip, free for non-commercial use only [05:10] no help there juan [05:11] sacarlson: is ubuntu server 10.04 [05:11] and systemd supposedly is doing the advancement in the multi-seat world [05:11] it auto-gens xorg.confs [05:11] ActionParsnip, LTSP ? [05:11] so where to find files to flash bios 1.70 [05:12] Reedyseth: oh cool so you should have access to all I have then, but you couldn't install sqlite3 with apt-get ? [05:12] sorry if im bieng repetitive but i need that anser [05:12] ive looked many places and cannot find it [05:12] hello..i m trying to install pear..i did wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar and then php go-pear.phar ......and after this when i m type pear in terminal..it is asking me to install php-pear.. [05:13] Reedyseth: I think the install of sqlite3 package will auto run the link loader and put all apps that use sqlite onto it [05:13] i intstalled it and again it type pear..it is again asking to install php-pear......y so??? [05:14] satyanash: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX [05:14] bapu, what are you planning to use pear for? [05:14] sacarlson: yeap i can install like that but i did the other way, my bad :S [05:14] is it possible to set root password after new install? [05:14] researcher123, yes but its not recommended [05:14] researcher123 don't see why not [05:14] use sudo onstead [05:14] Guest35143: you may need a windows OS. If you cannot boot anything how do you expectto flash the bios exactly? [05:14] researcher123: there is no root pass, the account is disabled [05:14] ActionParsnip, thats what i tried to tell him [05:15] CFHowlett: how to give command? [05:15] hello webnet..i want to use phpunit test...for that i need pear [05:15] Reedyseth: compile is only needed when you have speceal apps that aren't in your present repository and not already in ppa [05:15] !passwd|researcher123 [05:15] researcher123: just prefix any command you want to run as root with: sudo and it will be fine [05:15] sacarlson: I know now xD !!!} [05:15] !passwd [05:15] researcher see passwd command [05:16] ok [05:16] researcher123: your user is in a group called 'admin' which gives it the ability to use sudo and gksudo [05:16] http://www.phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/installation.html i m following this to install phpunit [05:16] !passwd === Geom is now known as Fuego [05:16] researcher123: ubottu doesn't have a factoid for !passwd [05:16] researcher123 ubottu doesn't know. see the man or info pages from your terminal [05:17] !root [05:17] 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 [05:17] ^^^^ [05:17] Reedyseth: ok so I guess if you look at what the install script did in the compile at the point it copies into the libs and stuf you can just rm instead, or just live with what you did and install apt-get install sqlite3 and see what happens [05:17] !root researcher123 [05:18] so where to find files to flash bios 1.70 [05:18] @webnet, you need to do the | between them [05:18] sacarlson: I will try to do that [05:18] !root | researcher123 [05:18] researcher123: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

Its hardware related [05:24] ubuntu: so is offtopic here [05:24] ubuntu, ActionParsnip is correct [05:24] hardwre guy s are buttholes son [05:24] its about installing ubuntu son' [05:24] ubuntu | !offtopic [05:24] !offtopic | ubuntu [05:24] im trying to install ubuntu [05:24] ubuntu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:25] dang botts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [05:25] ubuntu, but we cant really help you with a cmos issue here... cmos isnt controlled by ubuntu [05:25] ubuntu: the channel subject is still to be respected. You can't defect here just because you get no responce [05:26] you people on this channel seem to be the only helpfull ones [05:26] hardware is overun with jerkoffs i can t get help there any other channel [05:26] ubuntu: again, thats not how it works [05:26] ????

[05:26] ubuntu, :) we try. though i must agree, i frequent a few other channels and everyone here is by far the coolest [05:27] exacly [05:27] http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/a/adblock-plus/adblock-plus_1.2.2-3ubuntu0.10.10.1/changelog [05:27] the fewer botts here the better [05:27] scientes, so add it on manually... [05:27] webnet, but i want it system-wide === caleb is now known as Guest44274 [05:27] !ask | scientes [05:27] scientes: 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 [05:27] i got somthing for u ubottu [05:28] ubuntu, yeah. we have 4 to my knowledge the flood bots and ubottu our info bot [05:28] bkerensa, i did ask [05:28] scientes, it still exists, they changed the name [05:28] scientes: kill the caps pleas [05:28] you would not beleave the botts i deal with [05:28] !ops | ubuntu asking for hardware support [05:28] ubuntu asking for hardware support: Help!

[05:28] tensorpudding, really, i can't find it, its still in debin [05:29] wait no i lied, apparently it's in debian but not ubuntu [05:29] but ubuntu dropped the seperation between firefox and xulrunner [05:29] very strange [05:29] ubuntu: if you have a question please ask it [05:29] so where to find files to flash bios 1.70 [05:29] scientes: surely you can add it at addons.firefox.whatever... [05:29] ubuntu : you have been told by many of our great helpers here that your issue is not supported in this channel. Please stop asking for hardware help. We don't help with that. [05:29] ActionParsnip, is that necessary to report him to ops? [05:29] ActionParsnip, yes, sorry for all-caps, but its much nicer to have it system-wide [05:29] scientes: you do realise the ads get revenue for the site owners.. [05:29] scientes: Ubuntu dropped Adblock Plus because they upgrade to new major versions of Firefox when they're released, and keeping addons up to date as part of this process was considered an unneccessary burden given that they can be downloaded easily. [05:29] ok a channel like hardware please [05:30] do tell [05:30] ubuntu, may i PM? [05:30] ubuntu : ##hardware [05:30] scientes: Debian does not upgrade to new major versions of Firefox (or Iceweasel, as it's called there), and thus do not have this problem. [05:30] dax, yes they do, just not in their stable release === Guest44274 is now known as sapien [05:30] scientes: ads keep websites free === sapien is now known as sapient [05:30] scientes: In both cases, I mean in stable releases. === sapient is now known as asapien [05:31] my grub fails to halt .how do i fix it [05:31] atubuntu: hold shift at boot [05:31] ubuntu, may i pm? [05:31] yup [05:32] ActionParsnip: what does that do [05:32] ActionParsnip: i mean when i type halt on grub prompt it fails to halt [05:33] atubuntu: oh, i thought you wanted to see the grub prompt [05:33] so i also think that is the problem why my 11.10 fails to hibernate or sleep [05:34] how do i reinstall grub so that it picks up things properly [05:38] webnet check pm [05:40] sacarlson: Is there a way to set default version to use with sqlit3 ?? [05:41] I have a fresh new install of ubuntu 11.10 can anyone tell me how to install Flash for my firefox browser? [05:42] kion [05:42] how do i reinstall grub so that it picks up things properly [05:42] go to software center [05:42] and type adobe and it will pop up [05:42] Thanks Ubuntu! [05:42] its the bag looking icon [05:43] ubuntu: seems that now it is easier than a year ago! [05:43] the software center is very nice [05:43] what would happen if ubuntu left #ubuntu :O [05:44] ubuntu: thanks, I found it! [05:44] i recomend only installing fromm software center [05:44] its quality stuff son [05:45] can i execute floodbott 1-3 [05:45] kion: is your OS 64bit? [05:47] ActionParsnip: yes it is an Alienware with core i7 64 bit [05:47] kion: then you will need to enable the partner repo, you will then get 64bitt flash. Just installing as is now you will get 32bit flash [05:48] ActionParsnip: how do I enable that repo? [05:48] kion: its under the extra sources and such [05:48] anyone care to join me on #bios [05:48] kion: just because your CPU is 64bit doesn't automatically mean your OS is 64bit. You can run 32bit OS on 64bit CPU [05:49] ActionParsnip: I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit [05:49] kion: its worth checking :) [05:49] kion: but you sound confident so its cool [05:49] Can anyone help me in connecting to my school's VPN? They don't do tech support for linux... pathetic.

[05:56] oooaaaooo: you can setup ubuntu to be a scanner server [05:57] oooaaaooo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo#Sharing_a_Scanner_Over_a_Network === mg1 is now known as memfrob [05:58] ActionParsnip: thanks [05:59] Hello. Yesterday I got a prompt in Ubuntu to download new updates. I did, but then my power supply got disconnected after the upgrade. Now, when I click on "Linux 3" (in the Grub menu) my computer restarts. How can I fix this? === memfrob is now known as mg0 [06:00] ActionParsnip: so basically for a non-ethernet enabled device I need to have a server setup [06:01] oooaaaooo: the connection media is moot, as long as there is a logical connection to the server, it can be used [06:01] oooaaaooo: could even share it over WAN if you wanted [06:01] Hey, I just had something really weird happen to me. It's happened a few times before. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04LTS with a TV hooked up as screen 2, running two separate X sessions so each monitor has different apps. I was running Firefox/Thunderburd/Pidgin on screen 0 (built in LCD) and Mythfrontend on screen 1 (TV). After a little while instead of my mouse going to screen 1 after I moved it above screen 0 it starte [06:01] ActionParsnip: I uncomented two lines! [06:01] Parham can you boot an older kernel? [06:02] ActionParsnip:should I now go to Ubuntu software center? [06:02] kion: ok then close software centre and run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [06:02] ActionParsnip: well i would prefer to have it connected directly without an intermediary to my network switch , but that isnt possible, according to the article...or are you implying that it is? [06:02] dj_segfault, how did you get two different things running on different screens ? I am trying to exactly that ? [06:02] CFHowlett: When I click on "Previous version" (which is 2.6.x something), Ubuntu comes up with what I think is the Gnome 2.0 desktop. [06:03] dj_segfault, I want to run Fvwm2 on one screen and Xmonad on the other. [06:03] oooaaaooo: if you have a wireless and a wired connection you could do it in an ad-hoc network but if you have a router then you may as well go via that to make the networking easier [06:03] Using the nvidia proprietary driver it lets you choose to mirror or run two different X sessions. [06:03] i have a scanner that only has a fax modem port(rj11)/usb [06:03] oooaaaooo: the guide never says you can't do it without a switch... [06:04] Parham suggest you boot a previous version - recovery. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:04] How do I download files with an IRC client? [06:04] oooaaaooo: then connect and set it up on a PC then you can share it with the guide [06:04] dj_segfault, yes, but in my case both screens run the same type of environment, How did you get mythfrontend on one screen and normal ubuntu unity on the other ? [06:04] ActionParsnip: so it has to have an intermediary [06:05] oooaaaooo: you will need a controlling PC, there is no intelligence in the device [06:05] CFHowlett: Wouldn't it cause the same problem again? Isn't this a problem with the new files I have downloaded? [06:05] ActionParsnip: yeah thats what i was getting at [06:05] Hello everyone, I have a question... [06:05] ActionParsnip: oh well [06:05] satyanash: First of all this is 10.04LTS, pre-unity (and unity is why I haven't upgraded. No flame wars please). Also, mythfrontend is just an app running on the second screen. Nothing special [06:05] Parham I'd guess a kernel update, but I also suspect your previous upgrade didn't complete. thus the do-over [06:06] dj_segfault, so both screens run Gnome2.x. and mythfrontend is just an app? [06:06] satyanash: Yes. [06:06] dj_segfault: you do realise that if you install xubuntu, you won't get unity? [06:06] CFHowlett: Ah. So if something fails, I will still have this previous version to fall back to, correct? [06:06] dj_segfault, oh. okay. [06:06] dj_segfault: not all oneiric based releases have unity. Infact only ONE of the four has it... [06:06] Parham exactly. (hint: ALWAYS keep one previous kernel version in reserve...) [06:07] krish [06:07] dj_segfault: so not upgrading to avoid unity is nonsense [06:07] CFHowlett: How can I "keep one kernel version in reserve"? Do I need to run a command to preserve this kernel or something? [06:07] ActionParsnip: Thanks!! :) it is downloading now [06:07] ActionParsnip, Any thoughts on how I can run Xmonad one screen and fvwm on the other ? I know I can use fvwm -s option. I also have made an .xsession file for that purpose, but it does not get listed in the login selection menu... [06:08] I am running a laptop with Ubuntu (newest version, just updated the kernel) and I am having black screen issues on boot. My graphics card is an Intel HD 3000. I have combed the forums and google and I have been told to use Additional Hardware tool to install drivers, but all I get from that is There are no proprietary drivers on this system. I have read on google that HD 3000 cards arent very well supported. To get around the blac [06:08] ActionParsnip: I thought about it, but the barrier is I have four machines running Mythtv, so I have to upgrade all 4 machines at the same time, because one version of mythtv won't work with the other. So basically it will take the better part of a weekend. I'll probably consider it when the next LTS comes out soon. [06:08] quiet splash with nomode set in grub. Anyone have any ideas? [06:08] Parham no special commands needed. I'm suggesting you don't go out of your way to immediately purge obsolete kernels everytime an upgrade is offered. [06:09] CFHowlett: Ah. Thank you! [06:09] sacarlson: So how do i ask about sqlite3 with ld ?? [06:09] Osmond: I'm having the same problem, but my graphics card is supported. I get a black screen and then my computer reboots -- maybe this is not a graphics card issue? [06:09] i am unable accses my desktop [06:10] Im pretty sure mine is a graphics card problem. As long as I use the GRUB go around, everything seems to work fine. [06:10] /attach irc.rizon.net/nibl [06:10] I dont get resets or anything [06:10] * Parham ahs at Osmond. "That makes sense." [06:10] Though the login screen looks a little funky [06:10] Hehe. [06:11] Well, let me try and see if I can solve this problem... [06:11] * Parham waves. [06:11] dj_segfault: well thats different to not upgrading because yuo dislike unity isn't it ;) [06:11] satyanash: i've not used dual screens. I only have 1 screen for 4 systems [06:11] ActionParsnip, ahh.. okay, sorry to disturb you then. :) [06:12] satyanash: np man [06:13] ActionParsnip: whatabout a rj11->45 adapter can it be used with some kind of software on client machine to receive scans via fax over ethernet? [06:14] Reedyseth: as I tried to say before the package installer script auto runs the link loader, so I wouldn't worry about it unless you have to [06:14] oooaaaooo: the device will need to be able to catchthe data and compute it. I doubt it will have intelligence to do this which is why you need a pc [06:15] ActionParsnip: True, but I would have gone through that pain and upgraded a long time ago if I felt there were more compelling reasons to do so. 10.04LTS was a super solid release and has served me well, but it would be nice to get newer versions of some apps. So I'm getting there. [06:15] dj_segfault I think LTS to LTS is best; my lucid still suits me fine. [06:15] dj_segfault, i have maverick because i cant move on. [06:15] I am starting to have some problems with the packages (eg: two machines with the same release, one has a newer version of unity so they won't talk to each other) [06:16] webnet: Why not? [06:16] ActionParsnip: Yeeeiii my Flash worked!! is there any reason now to comment back those two lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list ?? === darling is now known as Zain [06:18] kion: not really, it will allow you to install other apps [06:18] dj_segfault, no clue the cause, but everything past kernel 2.6.35 my display doesnt operate regardless of distro [06:18] dj_segfault, picture works, b ut the lcd backlight doesnt operate [06:18] ActionParsnip: ok thanks! [06:18] You have an ATI card? [06:18] nope [06:19] ActionParsnip: alright... I guess it would be a better solution anyways to have an intermediary print/scan server to manage jobs === mike_ is now known as Guest6028 [06:19] i worked for weeks to figure this out on here and forums etc to no avail dj_segfault [06:22] What file do I need to edit to permanently edit boot info? [06:23] hello guys [06:24] saburo greetings [06:25] Do someone know the solution for the bug described in this forum https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=120973&p=1 ? [06:29] So no takers on my question about the mouse not going to the second screen and not being able to switch apps?

I dont see it under Pigin menu [07:10] thea2rn: like sound filtering?

[07:13] CacheMoney1: if you can find out the wireless chip and sound info it will help, the overall spec is ok [07:13] thea2rn: you can use ladspa plugins on many synths [07:14] hi [07:14] sacarlson i know but i want to make the code from linux [07:14] sacarlson like synthmaker [07:15] can anybody help me to learn bash [07:15] h [07:15] thea2rn: heres a list of 7 open coded synth http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20101014143915926/Synthesizers.html [07:15] "I wish I could circumcise every uncircumcised man in the world, so they'd all be like me.

[07:19] WilsonB_: under conversation menu click add [07:20] WilsonB_: you can even check to have the room be joined immediately after connection :) [07:20] WilsonB_: I always block nickserv and chanserv too :) [07:21] conversation menu? [07:21] WilsonB_: buddy list>Buddies>add chat> fill in boxes> add [07:21] I added IRC account Pigin [07:21] is an i7 processor much better than an i5? Can anyone explain the difference? [07:23] CacheMoney1: Most users won't see much difference. i7 tends to have more cores and cache, and are targeted for workstations rather than consumers. [07:23] CacheMoney1: I think that might mean the i7 has 7 cores as compared to i5 having 5 cores so like 7 computers running at the same time might be faster than only 5 [07:23] CacheMoney1: ##hardware may know more. [07:23] sacarlson: the number doesn't relate to the number of cores [07:23] dax I didn't know that [07:23] Ahhh... Im now typing in Pigin [07:24] dax: what's the deal with ##? [07:24] ;-) [07:24] WilsonB_: https://itservices.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/images/2009/12/10/pidigin_chat_invite.png [07:24] :-* [07:24] WilsonB_: if you click add in that menu it will appear in the main window when you connect [07:24] CacheMoney1: freenode's naming policy specifies that #channels should be created by groups with a legal or informal claim to the name they're using. ##channels are used for discussion on a particular topic by other people. [07:24] CacheMoney1: since "hardware" isn't really a claimable name, the channel for discussion of it goes in the ##channel namespace [07:25] dax: gotcha. thanks for explanation [07:25] Im now using Pigin [07:25] ;-) [07:25] Let me see If I can add more channels [07:26] dax: your correct an Core i7-2xx0M has only 2 cores [07:28] it'd be weird to have an odd number of cores. === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [07:36] Ok, it's a little hidden but think I go t it.. === Geom is now known as Fuego [07:38] Ok, you have to select from drop down first and select the IRC account.. Man, they should make this easier.. [07:39] can I redirect stdout and stderr separately in bash? like redirect stderr to error_log and stdout to success_log? [07:42] Ok, I succesfully added the other channels(groups) to IRC account in Pigin, but when I go under that tab(channel) theres' no place for me to type [07:43] ircnode0: Yes. To redirect stdout you use > to redirect stderr you use 2> So you can do "mycommand > stdoutfile.txt 2> stderrfile.txt" === mike is now known as Guest67422 [07:44] ircnode0: So what you want is mycommand > success_log 2> error_log === Guest67422 is now known as Mikero [07:44] Does that make sense? === yatties is now known as qwy [07:45] https://launchpad.net/~brianmercer/+archive/php << anyone if there is an official lucid package of php5-fpm?

Is that equal to mycommand 1> success_log 2> error_log? [07:48] Logitech has been pusing features down from the more expensive mice to the cheaper ones. And they rule. [07:49] ircnode0: Yes. [07:49] Desktop PC so doesnt matter if its corded =P just need one that isnt going to die like this LS1 Laser mouse [07:49] guess i game too much and the LMB gave out [07:49] hello , sir . which is better usage , ubuntu graphic mode or ubuntu text mode ? [07:49] qwy better depends on your preferences [07:49] "better usage"???? What does that mean [07:49] Using Pigin & IRC channel, when I click on the channel tab on top, I don't get the bottom place to where I type.. Does this make sense? [07:49] qwy for new users, graphic is easier [07:50] blendedbychris: looks like it starts being supported at maverick http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/php5-fpm [07:50] WilsonBradley1: No it does not make sense. [07:51] can i setup ubuntu as a server , or Centos is a better choice ? [07:51] qwy: cetrtainly, there is even an ubuntu server variant [07:51] qwy: None of our answers can have any validity unless you tell us about what your goals and limitations are. What are you trying to do? [07:51] sacarlson: indeed… i guess a backport is due [07:51] qwy: you may want to join #ubuntu-server for more :) [07:51] qwy ubuntu server LTS is supported for 5 years. current Long Term Support version is 10.04. 12.04 comes out next month [07:52] everytime I run a bash script installer (of ANY sort) I get the message "gzip: sfx_archive.tar.gz: not in gzip format I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted."

[08:06] The other software include system utilities ,applications,shells,libraries of common functions,and so on [08:06] when logged in as user1 and i log in as user2 and try to create a subfolder folder2 inside of folder1, but i do not have permission to do so… can anyone help? [08:06] Guest16662: You can add both to a group and set the group of that file to that group, and set write permissions for group to it [08:06] xiewanchen other software meaning what? windows? BSD? [08:06] I don't know what are the system utilities [08:07] xiewanchen *think* I understand. Wait 1 [08:07] all users have been added to sambashare group [08:07] xiewanchen, Ubuntu Software centre? [08:07] I copy this sentence for the book [08:08] advanced programming in the unix [08:08] Guest16662: change the permissions of folder1 [08:08] xiewanchen ah. ubuntu is not linux. [08:08] Guest16662: so that you are able to write inside that folder [08:08] !permissions | Guest16662 [08:08] Guest16662: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [08:08] xiewanchen http://fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads/ loads of articles, tutorials, explanations. [08:09] CFHowlett: correct, ubuntu is not linux, ubuntu is GNU/Linux :) [08:10] I see ,thank you CFHlett [08:10] i would be able to change permissions to folder 1 to give user 2 access to modify, but that would mean i have to do that for every new folder created by user 1? [08:11] Guest16662: why not create the folder as user2? directly? [08:11] i wanted to know if its possible to have it automatically give permissions to group sambashare to be able to rwx for all folder created by any user [08:12] ice root..i would like to use it as a public share [08:12] but not open to everyone to modify [08:12] Guest16662: why not put the users in the sambashare group and give that group wirte-permissions? [08:12] just owner of file/folder and group [08:13] Guest16662: by default a new folder/file has write-permissions for "group" [08:13] ice root…i have put all users in the sambashare group..and modified the share access rwx for sambashare group [08:13] Guest16662: so put them all in the sambashare group and everything is fine [08:13] !tab | Guest16662 [08:13] Guest16662: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [08:14] xiewanchen: I want to help you. Can you post the whole sentence in the book you're seeing that phrase in? [08:14] CFHowlett Would you like to recommend me a channel to talk about linux ? [08:14] haha..thanks for that tip [08:14] iceroot: i'm new to this [08:14] xiewanchen: #linux [08:14] ubottu: thanks [08:14] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:15] xiewanchen: or the main kernel channel (ofc.net or something like that) [08:15] dj_segfault please wait for a while. [08:15] xiewanchen I believe dj_segfault can advise you better than I. AND he's offered to do so ;) [08:15] xiewanchen: but i would not suggest the main kernel channel until you know what "linux" is [08:15] hi all, im new here is there a "xubuntu" chat only? [08:15] Guest16662: #xubuntu [08:15] geek_ yes but it [08:15] sacarlson: is there an easier way to backport rather than compiling? [08:15] Guest16662: sorry wrong nick [08:15] iceroot: um..yeah so back to the problem i get..is i have everyone added to sambashare group already, but that will only give them rwx to the share folder [08:15] geek_: #xubuntu [08:15] every other folder created by users under the share folder is off limits [08:15] thanks is that on ubuntu? [08:15] Guest16662: no [08:16] to the sambashare group users. [08:16] Guest16662: because every new folder has rw for "group" [08:16] so say.../srv/samba/share is accessible to all sambashare group [08:16] geek_ ? the #xubuntu channel is on the ubuntu irc servers [08:16] and is able to write to it. [08:16] Guest16662: but you want also "x"? [08:16] i login as admin and create folder1 in that share [08:16] hi. [08:17] Guest16662: admin? like root? [08:17] sbarcteam greetings [08:17] i would ike user 2 to be able to login to that share and can add files/folders to folder1..but it say i don't have permission [08:17] I've just upgraded my machine with the latest kernel, and for some reason my X doesn't identify native resolution any more. [08:17] ty :) [08:17] Guest16662: because user1 and user2 are not part of that group [08:17] (oneiric, kernel: 3.0.0-16-generic) [08:17] sbarcteam: Were you using the proprietary nvidia or ati drivers? [08:17] Guest16662: what is the output of "id user1" and "id user2"? [08:17] neither. [08:17] I am on intel. [08:18] In a broad sense ,an operation system is the kernel and all the other software that makes a computer useful and gives the computer its personality .This other software include system utilities ,applications,shells,libraries of common function,and so on [08:18] iceroot: how do i find that? [08:18] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12) [08:18] iceroot: i have put user1 and user 2 in sambashare group [08:19] Guest16662: type in "id user1" and "id user2" in the shell and paste me the output [08:19] my first expression of this experience was: WTF?! [08:19] now, is it possible there are changes in the intel related FW? [08:21] when you backport something you are pretty much stuck with that version until you backport it again aren't you? [08:21] dj_segfault I have type this sentence above [08:21] programming expert [08:21] ??? [08:21] xiewanchen: Ah OK now I understand. What they are saying is that "the operating system" is not everything that gets installed on your machine. The operating system is the kernel (the main process) and the boot stuff. On top of that, you get a whole bunch of programs (commands you can run from the command line) which come with the operating system but are not really part of the operating system. For instance the shel [08:21] blendedbychris: depending what you mean with "backport" [08:21] hmmm.... [08:21] iceroot: uid=1003(user1) gid=1003(user1) groups=1003(user1),118(sambashare) [08:22] ledzep: If you type in a request like that you need a mind reader not a programming expert [08:22] xiewanchen: Does that make sense?

I have understood ! [08:24] sbarcteam: You never answered my question [08:24] blendedbychris: it doesn't seem to be in php itself it's an external package [08:24] blendedbychris: who is not on topic ?

[08:27] I answered: neither.

[08:30] bellman: mint is a distro - not software [08:30] bilegt: #ubuntu+1 kernel 3.2 [08:30] bellman: unity is the desktop shell for uubntu for the future [08:30] !mint|bellman [08:30] bellman: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [08:30] ikonia: ppa for what? [08:30] 5.3.3 ? [08:30] blendedbychris: php-fpm [08:30] dj_segfault: now, that we're past your concerns, any new input/ideas (except writing my own xorg.conf)? [08:30] there's not a ppa for it because it's distributed with php5.3.3 [08:31] it's no longer a standalone package [08:31] blendedbychris: yes, but as I see it there are patches needed for pre-5.5.3 branches which is what you are using [08:31] xiewanchen: It depends what you mean by "shell command". It's a command you can execute in a shell, but when most people say "shell command" they mean "a command processed by the shell itself", not an external program executed by the shell. If you type "which chmod" you will see that chmod is an external program in the /bin directory. If you type "which cd", it won't find it because it's a command interpreted by the s [08:31] iceroot: I am sure the vulnerabilities in php are a result of: 1) new bugs discovered elsewhere, 2) bad programming skills of the developers, 3) new version of php released [08:31] blendedbychris: that's why I checked if there was a PPA hosting this for you already so you didn't have to do it [08:32] iceroot: I agree neither is an excuse for sec.vulns, but ... this is life :) [08:32] sbarcteam: 4. bad concept [08:32] sbarcteam: I'm sorry I don't have much experience with intel [08:32] iceroot: bad design you mean. [08:32] if im gonna host shells on my box do i need to run a dns server [08:32] sbarcteam: yes [08:32] dj_segfault: I'm sorry I don't have much experience with rejection. HELP ME!!!!! [08:32] :) [08:32] kidding. [08:32] OldOneEye: up to you [08:32] OldOneEye: if you are asking questions of that nature, I'd advise not hosting shells [08:32] ikonia: for all i care i can go straight to 5.3.5 [08:32] blendedbychris: https://launchpad.net/~fabianarias/+archive/php5 [08:33] only to close friends for eggdrops [08:33] iceroot: there's a nice hebrew idiom, but it rhymes only in hebrew. [08:33] PHP had a bad *INITIAL* design. They've made huge improvements, but the old security problems are there if you configure it wrong and code badly. [08:33] blendedbychris: ok - good luck then, you clearly don't need my help [08:33] (related bugs in design) [08:33] ikonia: i'm not being rude in that last sentence… i just was saying ;) [08:33] what would i need a dns server for [08:34] Has anyone tried to add channel #ubuntu-beginners to Pigin for example? [08:34] blendedbychris: but as we said already, using a ppa (no software from the official repos) is not a good idea, especially on a server [08:34] blendedbychris: yeah, I was just saying too, you don't need my help if you are smart enough to understand making the jump to php 5.3.5 on an older system [08:34] obviously i feel like a ppa is not the right way to go… but my only other option is compile myself [08:34] blendedbychris: good luck with it then [08:34] or rather ppa might be the lesser of two evils [08:34] blendedbychris: ppa will give you (maybe) sec updates [08:34] blendedbychris: compiled by hand not [08:35] blendedbychris: and it may break dependencies [08:35] iceroot: if you were stuck in this pickle what would you do? [08:35] blendedbychris: so please use it at your own risk, issues are not supported here [08:36] blendedbychris: 1. i would never use ubuntu as a server 2. i would try to avoid php 3. i would use apt-pinning with a newer repo (very bad idea) [08:37] * dj_segfault has the sudden realization that it's 4:36AM after DST adjustment. Must go to sleep. Best of luck xiewanchen. Hope I answered your last question. [08:37] 1. strong words for #ubuntu ? [08:37] blendedbychris: no [08:37] blendedbychris: as i said "I" [08:38] what's your poison then? [08:38] blendedbychris: ubuntu is a great desktop-system but not my first choice for a server (but i think that is getting offtopic) [08:39] there's always #ubuntu-offtopic [08:39] I've just never used anything other than ubuntu [08:40] ok. how do I re-configure Xorg from command line ?

[11:23] i have to wonder how you got the job in the first place. :) but its always good to learn. [11:23] with the kernel 3.x being so new.. guess its a good time to dive in. but watch out for version differances in the older kernels. [11:23] i was adjusted to that job [11:23] adjusted = it got dumped on you. :) [11:24] no [11:24] !kernel [11:24] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [11:24] they need people have good programming skill [11:25] but do they need actual kernel programers? thats a whole special area.

There is a ##linux channel for linux/kernel discussion and for general chit chat /join #ubuntu-offtopic [11:25] the urls given above should give you a good start. [11:25] ok thanks all of you [11:26] I guess it shows how much Linux and Ubuntu have progressed - that i havent had to mess with the kernel in perhaps 6+ years... [11:26] hi all. I was checking for updates with update center or "aktualisierungsverwaltung" in german. now I see "zwischenspeicher wird aktualisiert" or cache is being updated. that seems to be hanging and repeating it self without progress. using latest stable ubuntu 64bit. [11:26] I've just installed Ubuntu (dual-booted with W7), but my screen has a massive border around it. [11:26] any way I can finish this task or fix this problem? [11:26] Toni [11:26] On Windows I resolved this by disabling the scaling [11:26] Ca11um, whats yur video card/chipset. and what kind of monitor? [11:26] But I can't find such settings on Ubuntu [11:26] BenQ G2420HD [11:27] 24" [11:27] hi guys , is it possible to create a startup disk with multiple versions of ubuntu on it? [11:27] e.g. it keeps saying "sources - idle". [11:27] for my low end ati box i have. I have to install the fglrx drivers, then use the ati control panel to tweak the 'overscan' setting. since i am running at the native res of the monitor (well a hdmi tv in my case) [11:28] oooaaaooo, you can make a multi-booting cd/dvd or flash drive via using grub2 to boot iso files rather easially. [11:28] oooaaaooo: I've seen some usb boot info about having a single usb pen drive boot about 7 different linux [11:28] oooaaaooo, sure, use pendrive >>> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [11:28] oooaaaooo, the pendrive linux site above makes that task rather easy :) [11:28] Ah... [11:28] There are updates in Additional Drivers [11:29] OerHeks: thanks! [11:29] hi all. I was checking for updates with update center or "aktualisierungsverwaltung" in german. now I see "zwischenspeicher wird aktualisiert" or cache is being updated. that seems to be hanging and repeating it self without progress. using latest stable ubuntu 64bit. [11:29] Ca11um, normally the scaleing setting would be to how to scale resolutions that are less then the monitors native res. id hope you are running your desktop at the native res. [11:30] It can't get any higher than 1920x1080 [11:30] SteveBell, try the classic 'sudo apt-get update' from a terminal and see if any error messages are mentoned [11:30] Can it? [11:30] Ca11um, if you have borders at that res. i would think its an overscan setting. but it may be some quirk in the moniotr/drivers [11:31] OerHeks: will this mess with my mbr? [11:31] You can get monitors that can go higher. :) === zenix|off is now known as zenix` [11:31] oooaaaooo, if you boot a cd.. it wont mess with your system. [11:31] oooaaaooo, or a pendrive. [11:31] dr_willis: oh ok [11:31] unless we are confused as to what you are wanting. [11:32] I made a 8gb pendrive into a 6+ differnt disrto installer :) [11:32] Overscan setting? [11:32] You could even set up grub2 on your installed system to boot iso files for a super fast fallback/testing method. [11:32] Ca11um, thats what its called in my config panels. [11:33] most montors ive seen have a few % of overscan they can do. [11:33] dr_willis: so this thing installs grub 2 on the flashdrive ? [11:33] Is this in System Settings? [11:33] oooaaaooo, grub2 method & pendrive are 2 different ways [11:33] oooaaaooo, the pendrive linux tools can install grub2 to flash or i think they can set up syslinux [11:34] pendrivelinux has numerous tools [11:34] Ca11um, for my ATI card - its in the ati config tool. Never noticed it in the nvidia-settings tool. never needed it on my nvidia box.

[11:35] nodie, as a test.i would make a new user and see if the problem affects them also [11:36] ok [11:37] dr_willis thanks for the tip. getting several error messages. how can I copy paste them? cmd + c seems to trigger a virtual box command rather than copying the selected terminal output.

[11:40] But the second errors [11:40] SteveBell: Right-click and "Copy" [11:40] SteveBell, select and right click? [11:40] :) [11:40] dont you just select the right click copy ??? [11:40] SteveBell: Or just use X11 selection buffers if you don't mind them [11:40] guess apple users dont think of right clicks... [11:40] Ah cool [11:40] Linux has Catalyst Control Center [11:41] Ca11um, that sounds like it.. they keep changeing its name.. the actual binary has some weird name. [11:41] you don't right click in apple ?:! [11:41] AminosAmigos, apple mice have 1 button (well used to ) last i looked [11:41] @all: thx. isn't it strange that cmd copy does not work? no I really don't think of right clicks. I think of keyboard shortcuts. alyways faster... [11:41] :o [11:41] here#s the pastie: http://pastebin.com/7Z0fqhtV [11:41] but the new mice they have - have a special button just to show the widgits - or somthing. :) [11:42] I have a normal to click mouse. still keyboard shortcuts are faster and easier. [11:42] menu shouls show the proper keyboard shortcut [11:42] *two [11:42] Working perfect, thanks dr_willis. [11:42] I just select, and middle click... im old skool. :) [11:42] i think the keyboard shortcut is CTRL+shift+c [11:42] the right click menu does not contain any keyboard shortcut info. [11:42] SteveBell: Ctrl+C is a special terminal combination (break) [11:42] SteveBell: Meaning "stop whatever you're doing" [11:42] SteveBell: Been so before GUIs appeared, so... [11:42] good to know [11:43] ok, sry I'm a total terminal noob. ok thx for explaining [11:43] ctrl-c i thought only did that in the terminal, not in the gui/desktop. but im not on ubunti right now. :P [11:43] could someone have a look at the pastie?

[11:50] SteveBell: perhaps you should find out if your ISP provides a local ubuntu mirror then [11:50] r4y: Or just grab a raspberry pi, those are $35 for god's sake, and you can use them for IRC for sure :D [11:51] SteveBell: most ISPs do, and you can find out with the software sources application [11:51] airtonix: have no experience with that. would I have to do? [11:51] SteveBell: i believe you start by opening the Software Center. [11:51] should I cancel the temrinal update? [11:52] it's at 16%.

[13:24] <__Alex_> Mikero: But if you want to manually install a script or somthing, put it in /usr/local/bin. You must do this as root, and you must make it executable [13:25] __Alex_ too scary for a beginner [13:25] I do use software center en apt-get mostly. But PhpStorm is just a pile of files. [13:25] Mikero: do you want to install it for all users, and have it accessible via terminal? or just run it locally from one user? [13:25] <__Alex_> Mikero: Is there a "Makefile"? [13:26] Mikero: Is there "README", "INSTALL", "Makefile", "configure" or "configure.ac" (or a combination of those) among em?

[13:28] Which works but I want to keep things neat and organized ;) So I'd figured I'd ask. [13:28] Mikero: that will depend on what the file does, does it run the phpstorm, or does it compile it and install it on the system? [13:28] Mikero: Oh, you mean a universal place to put it to? Try /opt, that's what it's intended for (binary packages which unpack as one folder) [13:29] anyone here can help me out with RAID0 setup?

[14:13] ye: text and data segments non-separated [14:14] almoxarife, what is multi-arch? [14:14] Hello!

Samba is crazy fast with my other laptop, but with my Macbook running Ubuntu, it's craz slow.... === iqpi_ is now known as iqpi [14:19] almoxarife, understood. in any case, skype works now. [14:19] carl-eric: cool [14:19] I'm open to suggestions to replace Skype of course - what i need is video chat that should be encrypted, so no simple SIP VoIP [14:20] hello, is anyone using gedit + gSqlClient (plugin to psql) ? I cannot connect to database in any way... [14:20] hello [14:20] carl-eric: didn't know that it also scrambled the video [14:20] almoxarife, that's what they claim. Of course it's all proprietary so there's no real way to check that. [14:21] carl-eric: true, why would they lie? [14:21] hello my frieds [14:21] :) [14:21] removing vim-tiny removes ubuntu-minimal... looks like it might be important. installing vim-full/vim-nox without uninstalling vim-tiny... any conflicts I need to be aware of ? [14:22] almoxarife, as soon as I find an open source program that does encrypted video chat (most likely something doing ZRTP) i'll leave skype behind forever [14:22] what do you think about gnome 3 [14:23] !polls| none [14:23] none: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:24] carl-eric: I am not a open-source zelot, I found that google-video did beat the pants off of skype, that's all, my dear mother insisted on having it installed so I did, I talk to her on google-video, I saw the difference, a big one [14:24] almoxarife, I don't trust Google anymore. [14:25] New here...anybody got quick tips for dual booting with windows [14:25] carl-eric: me either, they are officially 'evil' but the rest were 'evil' first [14:25] aside from live USB [14:25] what do you people suggest for ZFS on ubuntu? [14:25] Does anybody have any experience with Jitsi? That's supposed to do ZRTP for video [14:27] and while I'm at it getting used to Unity - is there a way to have the blinking notifications in the launcher (when an app needs attention) to be always visible and not disappear after half a second during which i wasn't looking? [14:27] bull start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot [14:27] Does anyone know how to connect ubuntu to the net without using wvdial?? [14:27] ok [14:28] Thanks...I'm also considering just blowing away an old MAC and install there [14:28] but im study about the preferences of user [14:28] Does anyone know how to connect ubuntu to the net without using wvdial?? [14:28] im from colombia [14:28] :( [14:29] :( [14:29] How do I disable the pop up messages at the bottom of the screen on Gnome Shell? Reminds of Vista. [14:29] ryannathans, i am using zfs-fuse [14:29] ryannathans, its not an efficient solution but it gets its job done nevertheless [14:29] prasys: okay, what's involved with getting it set up and updating it? [14:30] having issues with RAID 0 write speeds, slower than even the speed of a single component of the set up. Using software RAID and disk utility with stripe size of 1MB. [14:31] theTroy: why such a massive stripe size? [14:31] ryannathans: don't use a marvel 88SE6145 SATA II PCI-E controller [14:31] !zfs | ryannathans [14:31] ryannathans: For information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS [14:31] ryannathans: you will have nothing but rage [14:31] ryannathans: SD cards are in RAID setup [14:31] setting lower stripe size should only slow it down more [14:31] airtonix: err, i'm plugging directly into the motherboard :D [14:31] ryannathans: doesn't matter [14:31] ryannathans: just make sure it isn't that controller [14:32] 88SE6145 [14:33] airtonix: it's a 88SE9172 [14:33] i had this problem on older versions of ubuntu, where the kernel keeps loading pata_marvel as the driver instead of the ahci one i need in order to get all my 4 2TB sata drives usable in zfs native mode === Mud is now known as Guest15308 [14:33] airtonix: owait, http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3892#sp that's it, i'm not sure [14:34] ryannathans: installing zfs-native is supposed to be easier on 12.04, but it's also not that hard to compile the dkms drivers for 10.10 (we have it running in native mode on a 10.10 server at work) [14:35] but zfs-fuse seems to be extremely easy to install [14:35] airtonix: awesome, when you upgrade kernel, does it break? [14:36] ryannathans: you mean the zfs pool? [14:36] anyone knows how to install openssl (and libs) on a ubuntu 10.10 LTS ? [14:36] airtonix: the ZFS ubuntu kernel, on upgrade does anything for ZFS need reinstalling? [14:36] ryannathans: FUSE is integrated into the kernel. ZFS support is not. that's why you get ABI problems using native ZFS when updating a Linux kernel. [14:37] hence you'll have to recompile unless you use dkms [14:37] so when doing a regular apt-get dist-upgrade will there be any issues? [14:37] ajhh [14:37] ahh [14:37] ryannathans: more precisely, the plumbing for FUSE is in the kernel by default. [14:37] which does the compiling for you [14:38] is there anything else documenting system activity other than syslog? [14:38] hi [14:39] I'm off for tonight [14:39] bye. [14:39] anybody there? [14:39] hi === f3bruary_away is now known as f3bruary [14:39] airtonix: my guess you can still install with sudo apt-get install openssl [14:40] so is mine, must be the weather [14:41] if system crashes without any sign in syslog, where can I look for the problem === erwin is now known as Guest46409 [14:43] st1: hardware crashes may not always leave behind as many clues as software bugs [14:43] st1: overheating? power cut? [14:44] I switched back to windows for a long time, and that didn't happen once [14:45] st1: what were you doing when it crashed? [14:45] st1: over what time frame does your crash happen? 1 time per day, 1 time per hour, 1 time per month........? [14:45] could be anything browsing web, watching tvrip or waiting for download [14:45] 1 or twice per month average [14:46] and I spend almost whole January in windows 7 [14:46] st1: was flash in use during the crashes? [14:46] not everytime, I've set opera to not active plugin until I click it [14:46] st1: wow that far apart last problem I had like that was dram mem sim, took me 6 months or more to isolate [14:47] I've stressed ram under windows using memtest, no error found [14:47] running a minimal headless system on 11.10 for xbmc and xorg is pulling 85% of cpu.. I've reinstalled xorg, my ati drivers, turned off compositing (I think) through xorg.conf.... I'm kinda stumped.. anyone? [14:47] what's wrong when nvidia flickers in my lcd tv second display? === seshagiri is now known as arathicool [14:48] st1: I tried mem test, it was to far apart to detect, but just random remove one and then the other the problem disapered [14:48] well, I guess I'm stuck, I only have one piece 4G ram... [14:49] st1: swap with a friend that has 2gig sim? [14:49] it's just a weird problem, in natty it was crash due to compiz, but in oneiric it's just black screen [14:50] haven't tried that, it's too long time to wait for it to happen [14:50] st1: oh so how do you know it's crashed if the screen just goes black? can you ssh in? [14:50] st1: try running without compiz (i find compiz rather buggy so i use xfce) [14:51] sacarlson network activity disappears, and keyboard mouse light disappears [14:51] how to run exe in ubuntu if possible? [14:52] !wine | optraz [14:52] optraz: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [14:52] st1: that's a good sign in fact when mine crashes at times the keyboard light blinks [14:52] optraz: better to find native alternatives if possible [14:52] !AppDB [14:52] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:52] auronandace: yeah, I think I'll try that, never used 2d though, a lot of compiz feature I can live without [14:52] !AppDB [14:53] st1: also are you using nvidia? if so are you using the nouveau driver? [14:53] sacarlson: if having no clue can be a good sign ;) [14:53] auronandace: no, integrated ati, default driver [14:54] Guys, I need help, my wireless connection is complete $#!^. It is OK some of the time, and some of the time is just slow as hell, and at some point dies. It goes thru that 20min cycle and then again it goes back to normal. I can't watch youtube videos or browse the web normally. On a windows machine the connection is perfect. [14:54] cant i via terminal open a VNC server for the screen which is already opened? I mean the X? [14:54] st1: oh ok, i don't use ati [14:55] optraz: what exe file are you trying to run? [14:55] st1: well I mean it sounds like it really crashed as the keyboard lights seem to become unresponsive in a real crash and sometimes blink [14:55] auronandace: I just remembered I crashed once under gnome shell too, does that use 3D rendering? [14:55] st1: yes [14:55] auronandace: it is a applicatino from vworker.com [14:56] optraz: what does it do? can you find a native alternative? [14:56] calico, what hardware is it? [14:56] well thanks you two, I think I'll try unity-2d, maybe precise beta [14:57] st1: expect bugs in beta [14:57] but kernel should be newer right? auronandace [14:58] Hey guys, do you help with Kubuntu in here or is that another channel? [14:58] auronandace: it is a application to track the time, idont think there is any alternative as it is made and from vworker.com [14:58] when ubuntu 12.04 going to be released? [14:58] st1: yes, and 12.04 is supported in #ubuntu+1 untill its released [14:58] calico: maybe dns? can you ping google.com at time of failure does it at least return an ip number? [14:58] Shubham: end of april [14:58] Shubham: when it's finished (planned in april (year 12, month 04 = 12.04)) [14:58] Shubham: clue is in the name, 2012 4th month [14:58] Shubham: (20)12/04(April) [14:59] carl-eric, atheros [14:59] cant i use it before release date? just excited to use it.. :) [14:59] calico, then i don't know - i know from my own experience that some centrino and other intel chipsets don't like -N [14:59] calico: I think atheros is quite well supported and is that wired or wifi? [15:00] hi, i want to install windows xp alongside ubuntu 11.04. Also i have other linux partitions. please help to install windows without affecting my ubuntu OS [15:00] Shubham: yes you can but help and support in #ubuntu+1 [15:00] sacarlson, well ye I guess I'd be able to ping a site, there is connection but very slow and 90% doesn't load anything, 10% it downloads [15:00] sacarlson, wireless [15:01] #auronandace ok can u give me link to download it? [15:01] !12.04 | Shubham [15:01] Shubham: 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 [15:01] calico: oh ok wireless and is it encrypted or not? still could be slow dns I guess [15:02] Shubham: the link should be in #ubuntu+1 [15:02] sacarlson, what is it encyprted? the wireless has got no password if that's what youre asking [15:03] i have lxde and i added a right click "open with" custom command line entrty.. how do i delete it? [15:03] calico: at time of failure you can also try ping your router to see if you have stable lan connection [15:03] #auronandace ok thanks [15:03] Shubham: no worries :) [15:03] calico: no password mean not encrypted [15:03] arunkumar413: where are you stuck? [15:04] auronandace: intial stage [15:04] arunkumar413: made a partition for it yet? [15:04] sacarlson, I had this problem even when I was trying different distros in vbox? [15:04] auronandace: please help me to install windows along side ubuntu 11.04. [15:04] calico: you might look up your atheros device on your ubuntu version you now run and see if any others are having problems with it [15:04] how to access ssh server behind adsl router ?? [15:04] install windows first [15:05] auronandace: no, I'm a bit noob. tell me some commands so that i'll tell u the partition table. with that info u may suggest me a good partition to install [15:05] prashant_123456: you can posibly login to your adsl router and setup virtual host port for ssh port you us to come into your static ip ubuntu [15:06] prashant_123456: you have to setup port forwarding from the router to the machine behind it (PC?) Then you can have remote access [15:06] arunkumar413: open gparted and show us a screenshot [15:06] oCean, i did it [15:06] !screenshot | arunkumar413 [15:06] arunkumar413: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [15:06] oCean, but cannot connect [15:07] oCean, i forwarded port 22 on router but still no help [15:07] anyoneon good on bash trap? [15:07] prashant_123456: maybe your isp doesn't pass port 22? [15:07] Whiskey: the guys in #bash? [15:07] neee :D [15:08] prashant_123456: oh and you are running ssh-server on that system? [15:08] sacarlson, by setting up dial up connection i can do it but with username and password saved on router cant do it [15:08] sacarlson, yep [15:09] sacarlson, do i need reverse ssh tunelling [15:09] auronandace: i don't have the ubuntu live cd and my internet connection is a dial up. Still can we install windows along side ubuntu [15:09] prashant_123456: so if dialup works and present isp doesn't I guess your ISP filters port 22 [15:10] prashant_123456: ya reverse ssh tunnelling or what I've also used is vpn [15:10] in lxde is there a way to edit the right click menu? i accidentally added a custom command line entry and cannot figure out how to delete it. [15:10] sacarlson, dial up means when i dial from pc and get a internet address [15:11] sacarlson, dont understand [15:11] prashant_123456: I'm still not sure your running ssh-server then, can you do a sudo netstat -pant and verify you listen on port 22? [15:11] arunkumar413: if you need to move/resize your ubuntu partitions you will need a livecd (i tend to use partedmagic) [15:11] sacarlson, o [15:12] sacarlson, ok [15:12] HI! [15:12] auronandace: i don't want to resize/move any partition. i want to create a new partition and install windows xp [15:13] arunkumar413: so you have an unused partition to put it on then? or add a disk [15:13] arunkumar413: until i know your setup i can't tell if you need to resize/move partitions to make room for a windows partition [15:14] http://paste.debian.net/159316/ ,how it come [15:14] AchlysEpithet? [15:14] sacarlson, port 22 ok [15:15] prashant_123456: ok and port is forwarded and no firewall setup on ubuntu to stop it? [15:15] umm anyone seen AchlysEpithet? [15:15] No [15:16] sacarlson, actually when i port forward popup a message [15:16] sacarlson, since port 22 is used the dsl router ssh server port will be moved to 2222 [15:16] prashant_123456: port 22 ok ? I assume means you see a line like tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3907/apache2 [15:16] yep [15:16] sacarlson, yep [15:17] sacarlson, since port 22 is used the dsl router ssh server port will be moved to 2222 [15:17] auronandace: this is my partition table: http://imagebin.org/202884 [15:18] arunkumar413: you already have 4 primary partitions, you'll need to get rid of one of them to install windows [15:18] prashant_123456: ok as long as port 2222 is forwarded then and also you are listening on port 2222 [15:18] sacarlson, that means [15:18] prashant_123456: so you do know how to setup the client side to talk on port 2222? [15:18] sacarlson, please explain [15:19] sacarlson, it turns out that the ubuntu doesn't like my wifi card, the only guy who said he resolved the issue said he installed this package and it worked: linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic Do you know which package should I install, as there are like 8 of them all the same http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/screenshot0311201205153.png/ [15:19] auronandace: which one is the primary partition. the 70GB one is the common to all my linux based distros. i don't want to touch it [15:19] prashant_123456: from what you said above is that you have moved ssh to port 2222 no? [15:19] sacarlson, actually when i do port forward on router since port 22 is used the dsl router ssh server port will be moved to 2222 [15:20] auronandace: Also i'm not sure which partition is ubuntu 11.04 [15:20] arunkumar413: sda1 sda2 sda3 and sda4 are the primary partitions, sda4 is an extended partition inside which you have several logical partitions [15:21] arunkumar413: sda7 is your 11.04 install [15:21] calico: no I'm not sure what works and what doesn't , sounds like you might of found someone with a solution, backport ppa isn't hard to try if available [15:21] auronandace: sure? [15:22] sacarlson, whats backport ppa [15:22] arunkumar413: if this gparted picture is run from 11.04 then yes [15:22] http://paste.debian.net/159316/ ,how it come [15:22] prashant_123456: oh ok so maybe with that conflict you should try manualy pick one that isn't auto moved [15:22] auronandace: ok, i'm going to clear the sda1 and install windows xp. After installing how to make the boot loader detect the windows xp [15:23] sacarlson, what to do? [15:23] !grub2 | arunkumar413 [15:23] arunkumar413: 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) [15:23] prashant_123456: well before moving you could try wireshark monitor and see if your outside trafic even attempts to come in, if not try move to another port like 3333 [15:24] auronandace: i'm not sure which boot loader i'm using since installed various distros [15:24] sacarlson, i need to install wireshark ? [15:24] arunkumar413: sda1 is only 13gb, i don't think thats big enough for win xp [15:24] prashant_123456: ya that's just a package [15:24] sacarlson, ok [15:25] i'm kinda mad. can't disable pata_marvel [15:25] auronandace: i'll clear other primary partitions and create a big single partition to accommodate xp [15:26] sacarlson, i can see my port 22 forwarded to my server address on router [15:26] hellllllllllo\ [15:26] auronandace: help to detect my bootloader. In which partition is the boot loader located [15:27] u cant [15:27] easy,destroy ur cpu [15:27] prashant_123456: oh ok and maybe can see the light blink on the ethernet port of your ubuntu box also when attempting to come it [15:27] Hi, can someone help with RAID0? having issues with write speed, and if I do check array, it reuturns error that md0 is not idle [15:27] arunkumar413: i'm guessing its in sda7 (your ubuntu 11.04 partition) [15:27] sacarlson, wait while i do it again [15:28] arunkumar413: unless its sda5 but that doesn't seem to mounted as /boot [15:28] auronandace: how to be sure that the boot loader is in sda7 and it is of ubuntu 11.04 [15:28] prashant_123456: if the light blinks at attempted ssh in from outside then the port forward on the router must be ok [15:28] type mount [15:29] hi [15:29] sacarlson, on client : the remote host is actively refusing a connection [15:29] auronandace: sda1 flag is boot. does it mean that bootloader is in sda1 [15:29] I can only login the guest account my normalaccount does not load properly? [15:30] arunkumar413: not necessarily [15:30] prashant_123456: ok at the attempt time was any light on your ubuntu box blinking, assuming no other trafic to that box at the time [15:30] can anyone help me...... [15:31] arunkumar413: what is the output of: mount [15:31] sacarlson, router blinks [15:31] prashant_123456: router blinks all the way to your ubuntu? [15:32] "Unfortunately, acer laptops are not well-supported by the linux kernel." And why the F is that? When they're so popular? What does that mean, should I ditch the ubuntu now [15:32] prashant_123456: or do we have to run wireshark to verify? [15:32] sacarlson, no need to verify [15:32] auronandace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/879043/ [15:32] calico: it depends more on the chipset used than the compsny brand === Mud is now known as Guest55326 [15:34] arunkumar413: ok, if you open a file manager and navigate to /boot, how much space does it say i free? [15:34] calico: and also seems even if they worked in older versions of ubuntu they don't always continue to work in newer versions [15:34] is [15:35] god damn, I spent the last 10 days installing, reading, trying unbelievable shit and what not to get this to work, but I think this is over the top now [15:35] auronandace: 3.1GB [15:35] the best part is that I can't start my windows now [15:35] has can sombody sent me the invite for linux channel [15:35] arunkumar413: excellent, then yes your boot loader is in sda7 [15:36] calico: wow 10 days I hope on more than one verison of ubuntu or even other linux destro [15:36] calico i have an acer, what's the prob? [15:36] auronandace: ok, now can i clear the sda1 though the flag is bootable [15:36] please sombody invite me for linux channel [15:37] arunkumar413: you can but 13gb is rather small if you are going to put an ntfs partition there for xp [15:37] MonkeyDust, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/139022 [15:37] auronandace: ok, now how to make bootloader detect my windows xp after installation [15:38] auronandace: as i don't have the live cd [15:38] arunkumar413: the /boot flag doesn't really mean much in linux, usually a windows partition is given the /boot flag [15:38] arunkumar413: grup-update should auto detect any bootable partitions and add them to the boot list [15:38] calico wifi is not always stable, that's right, it's the reason why i don't use it [15:39] arunkumar413: opps grub-update [15:39] sacarlson: after installing windows xp I'll not be able to boot to ubuntu [15:39] sacarlson: after he has installed windows how is he going to boot ubuntu to run grub-update? [15:40] MonkeyDust, I guy said "I was experiencing exactly this bug. [15:40] I simply installed the package "linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic" and the problem was gone." do you think this could solve it [15:40] Use grub4dos to boot [15:40] arunkumar413: oh well normaly you install windows first then ubuntu as windows will comonly erase any other partitions [15:40] calico no idea, doenst ring a bell [15:40] doesn't* [15:41] When using the "top" command, how can I scroll down/up? [15:41] auronandace: arunkumar413: you will need a bootable usb pen drive or cd disk or pxe boot or ?? [15:41] MonkeyDust, do you have an idea which one of these should I try http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/screenshot0311201205153.png/ [15:42] sacarlson: yes i agree but he said he doesn't have a livecd and its not really practical to get one [15:42] sacarlson: no usb pendrive, cd disk, or anything [15:42] auronandace: and usb flash drive or pxe are those posible? [15:42] calico maybe someone else knows, i don't use wifi [15:42] Hello guys [15:43] arunkumar413: no other computer system to setup a pxe boot server from? [15:43] sacarlson: i wouldn't know about pxe, but he just said no to cd or usb [15:43] auronandace: can we do this way. Install windows inside ubuntu. [15:43] calico: install the 4th one down. [15:43] arunkumar413: sure, vbox is great for that [15:43] I am trying to emigrate from debian to ubuntu. I am using Unetbootin, how do I know that my usb stick is slash dev slash something or something? [15:44] hello [15:44] iLogical plug it in and type mount [15:44] everyone [15:44] auronandace: at that point I would go to the store and get a new $3 usb flash disk then, or maybe a spare hard disk? [15:44] arunkumar413: but if you look at your partitions you've only got 3gb free [15:44] auronandace: not virtualization. just we do the opposite of install ubuntu inside windows. Install windows inside ubuntu [15:44] iLogical or plug it in and type sudo fdisk -l [15:44] arunkumar413: no thats not possible [15:45] i use ubuntu in virtual box [15:45] without problems [15:45] auronandace: my RAM is just 1GB cant go for virtualization [15:45] sacarlson: i don't know his circumstances sorry, usbs are cheap here in the uk too [15:46] i use it with 2gb of ram in virtualization [15:46] /dev/sdb on /media/PENDRIVE type vfat ? [15:46] /dev/sdb? [15:46] and other 3 for windows [15:46] ??? [15:46] I've installed a lot of libs lately to compile different programs, can installing lots of libs (via apt-get) slow down my system? [15:46] MonkeyDust, [15:46] iLogical [15:46] yes? [15:47] arunkumar413: well, like sacarlson says, i'd recommend getting a cd or usb then [15:47] auronandace: thanks for the help. I'm leaving. bye [15:47] cotterall: I can't imagin how extra libs can slow anything down [15:47] iLogical: /dev/sdb sounds right to me, I think unetbootin should only show usb devices in the dropdown list by default as well [15:47] auronandace: ok, i'll come back here later [15:47] hi [15:47] arunkumar413: no worries, have fun :) [15:48] sacarlson: thank you, I'm from Windows where installing lots of stuff sometimes seems to bloat the system and slow it down with time [15:48] do smb see me ?? [15:48] can somebody help me to lean BASh script [15:48] cotterall, MonkeyDust thanks [15:48] auronandace: even if pxe boot off lan is posible it can get more complicated on the first run === arathicool is now known as shreya_menon [15:49] cotterall: well installing stuf is not libs, if you run more apps and services at the same time that can start slowing things down [15:49] bastidrazor, k i installed, rebooting, i pray to god this works [15:49] salut a tout le monde [15:49] !fr | curiousx [15:49] curiousx: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

There is spanish support in #ubuntu-es [15:51] i'm connected in ubuntu-es as well [15:52] Is there a way to keep flashing icons in the Unity launcher flashing, instead of them stopping after a few seconds? [15:52] sacarlson: thanks again, so far it's all stuff like libffi-dev, libatasmar-dev so it sounds like I'm not bloating my system out with these. [15:53] When using the "top" command, how can I scroll down/up? [15:53] cotterall: no just using more disk space the -dev just adds some header files [15:53] elijah use htop, not top [15:53] when I am trying to use this command sudo modprobe rt5370sta I get an error FATAL: Error inserting rt5370sta (/lib/modules/2.6.

[15:55] ouyes: there is the non sta version that might also still be running [15:56] ouyes: modprobe -l | grep rt53 ; see what we might see [15:56] do somebody knows how to install warcraft 3 on ubuntu with wine please ??

[16:00] sacarlson: isn't rmmod used to remove a module from the kernel? and modprobe to load/unload it? [16:01] auronandace: that sound about write, but some devices need more time to settle [16:01] yes rmmod it's to remove a module from kernel [16:03] ouyes: auronandace: since modprobe told him it was still busy I was looking to free the device [16:04] sacarlson, thanks I get to reboot [16:04] ouyes: why? [16:04] sacarlson, some other things, not about this problem [16:05] sacarlson: i think the manpages say to use modprobe -r to unload it [16:05] ouyes: oh ok, and mybe it's a blacklist thing as I've had with other rt devices [16:05] sacarlson, should I blacklist something or? [16:06] hi i can not burn cds on my ubuntu it says it can not change from mp3 to wav it was all gud and suddenly it stops working i burt couple of cds before now i cant can u help me out please how can i solve this issue [16:07] auronandace: yes I also see that recomended in the man rmmod page, but it's worked for me in the past, don't recall myself ever using the modprobe -r [16:08] sacarlson: can't say i have much experience with modprobe myself (yay, i'm learning) [16:08] auronandace: ya modprobe -r looks better since it also pulls other modules that depend on the one you remove [16:08] kaNNib^L: make a directory and put all the archives you want to burn [16:08] sacarlson: ah, cool [16:09] hey, how do I mount my HDD? [16:10] Hopsyy, can be done in a terminal but it may show in the left panel of home or look in the disk utility [16:10] Fyodorovna: how do I do that in terminal? [16:10] Hopsyy: mkdir /mnt ; mount /dev/sdx /mnt ; or if it's in fstab you can mount with nautilus [16:10] my HDD has some bad sectors Fyodorovna [16:11] Hopsyy, 666 [16:11] Hopsyy: if it has bad sectors you don't want to mount it you want to run fsk on it [16:11] Hopsyy, doh I meant ^^^ [16:11] /mnt/ is empty === Lircci2 is now known as Lirccc [16:12] curiousx: bro the thing is it says it can not change the mp3 to wav it want wave file it cant convert k3b [16:12] ok, make a directory and put all the stuff you want to burn [16:13] ok [16:13] I cant find anything in /mnt/, disk utility shows 2 HDD [16:13] i will checl [16:13] sacarlson: what should I do now :( [16:13] Hopsyy: most stuff is automatically mounted under /media [16:13] let sey, do: mkdir $HOME/burn [16:14] Hopsyy: you said it had a bad sector, so what is the partition of interest? /dev/sd?? [16:14] and another thing is in skype my cam is upside down how to fix it? [16:14] MonkeyDust: thanks for the suggestion [16:14] /EXEC rm -vf /home/mirco/.xchat2/buduscript/tmp/budus_XDCC_2312.query [16:15] disk utility says /dev/sdb sacarlson [16:15] and /media is also empty [16:15] what is /dev/sdb for a thing? [16:15] is it a file? [16:15] Hopsyy: sdb is a disk what partition on that disk is of interest? could be like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb2 or X [16:16] so, do you made the directory? [16:17] about skype, i dont have idea, never insalled it [16:17] Hopsyy: disks are nomally setup in partitons, so maybe you can see with sudo fdisk -l ; [16:17] sacarlson: sorry I dont get the question, I dont know what is interest of that disk [16:17] I will try [16:17] nothing appears in terminal [16:18] http://paste.debian.net/159316/ ,how it come [16:18] ow wait [16:18] Hopsyy: did you use sudo?

[16:19] I was having this problem on debian and now I am experiencing it on the ubuntu live when trying to install. Sometimes on debian screen would turn black and nothing would work out to exit, the numlock light would still turned off. Now when I fill my wireless password for a wifi network in ubuntu live from a usb stick screen goes dark and the computer goes unresponsive. what do I do to install ubuntu? [16:20] SlothScripts: was a window 7 added to the grub menu at boot? do you know how to get into grub2 menu at boot? [16:20] ayaka: you'll need to be a little more verbose so people know what you need help doing [16:21] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/ZQ56Vu5H [16:21] Hello! I need help with Ubuntu 11.10 and Windows 7 dual-boot [16:21] I do not, how do you access the menu at boot? [16:21] Can anybody help me? If so, I can describe my problem. [16:21] hen-files e hud are redundant operations? hud can find files also! or not? [16:22] hello, my graphics apps are running fine under debian, but extremely slow under ubuntu, even with proprietary drivers installed they are much slower than under debian (no special drivers). can you give me a hint for the reason or where to look ? [16:22] I have one SSD (samsung 64 gb) and one HDD (160 gb). The HDD is my laptop hdd that doesnt works anymore for some reason.. [16:22] the ssd is working [16:23] I am on Ubuntu 11.10 w/Unity, which I really like. My question is when I do an alt+`, it looks like I do an alt+tab but shows the current application in a more expanded view but if I continue to press alt+` it does not advance like alt+tab does. Does anyone know what alt+` does out of the box or what it is called so I can research it more? [16:23] @ sacarlson [16:23] hans_: nvidia or ati? [16:23] ati [16:23] elijah: likely a feature in compiz [16:23] Hopsyy: I don't see any unix partitions on it but I guess you could try mount one like sudo mount /dev/sda1 [16:23] opps [16:24] driver version 12.1 ? 12.2 ? or older [16:24] Hopsyy: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [16:24] So. First problem was I installed Ubuntu 11.10 to ThinkPad laptop, it installs, but then can't boot. Only windows 7 booted, not GRUB. I found out that it's because of EFI. So, I created EFI-partition on my drive, after it GRUB2 boots and Ubuntu too. But Windows 7 (which is 32-bit) can't boot, writing "Invalid path to EFI" or something like it [16:24] elijah: perusing through the settings in ccsm might help you find what it is [16:24] it says: mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [16:24] Hopsyy: oh maybe it's a wubi install? [16:25] i don't know, newest distros, all updates, out of the box [16:25] auronandace: k, thanks, if anyone knows just mention my name, thanks! [16:25] Hopsyy: you need sudo [16:25] my ubuntu? no I am running through my usb :p [16:25] distris of course [16:25] Hopsyy: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [16:26] sourcerer: efi on a thinkpad? [16:26] sacarlson: okay, that one worked. And now? [16:27] auronandace: yup [16:27] Its not listed in the devices [16:27] sourcerer: wow, what thinkpad model? [16:27] Hopsyy: now you can explore the /mnt dir and see what's in it [16:27] ah okay [16:27] ok, the default driver in ubuntu's repos has some troubles with gnome-shell and other issues, you should download and install http://download.softpedia.ro/dl/7664412cedfcb731247767868b7ed91f/4f58be74/500006719/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-2-x86.x86_64.run [16:27] auronandace: e320 [16:27] i lost the direct link from ati =P [16:28] auronandace:e325* [16:28] I was having this problem on debian and now I am experiencing it on the ubuntu live when trying to install. Sometimes on debian screen would turn black and nothing would work out to exit, the numlock light would still turned off. Now when I fill my wireless password for a wifi network in ubuntu live from a usb stick screen goes dark and the computer goes unresponsive. what do I do to install ubuntu? [16:28] flash is constantly crashing my firefox sessions on 11.10 ... is there any solution for this very annoying problem? [16:29] curiousx: thank you very much. [16:29] sourcerer: oh, edge series [16:29] biopyte, try the FF addon flash aid [16:29] your wellcome [16:29] auronandace: so, can I boot Windows 7 32-bit using grub-efi? [16:29] sacarlson: this are the 4 files/dirs inside mnt: Boot bootmgr BOOTSECT.BAK System Volume Information [16:30] sourcerer: i've never used efi sorry [16:30] Fyodorvna, i once tried with 11.04 ... but it didnt help. sure, i can try with 11.10 ... maybe this time it helps. [16:30] Hopsyy: I'm not sure, what is your goal? [16:30] :( [16:30] sourcerer: any reason it needs to be efi? [16:30] system freezes on a live session [16:30] to backup my lost data sacarlson :'( === dylan is now known as SlothScripts [16:31] I have had several linux distros installed in this desktop [16:31] the hdd gave up suddenly [16:31] all worked fine [16:31] sourcerer, you have a apple set up or gpt partitioning. [16:31] auronandace: GRUB2 won't boot without EFI. [16:31] Hopsyy: well if the data you want isn't on that partition then you will have to umount that and look in the others [16:31] should I fill a bug report? [16:32] At boot, if holding down shift to bring up GRUB, a message comes up that says "GRUB Loading" and then it continues with normal booting. [16:32] Fyodorovna: How is it? I have Windows 7 pre-installed and wouldn't to lose it! [16:32] aha I will try that sacarlson [16:32] sourcerer: that doesn't really make sense, i'm using grub2 fine and i have msdos partition (no efi here) [16:32] I have a windows partition on a really old pc, and I would like to boot into uubntu and copy the entire partition over the lan so I can browse the files in my laptop*(ubuntu).How sould this be done? Can I simply copy the partition as if it were a folder? [16:32] sourcerer, you didn't answer my questions [16:33] Fyodorovna: ah, i didn't think of gpt [16:33] hmm how do I unmount? [16:33] Hopsyy: umount /whatever === Mud is now known as Guest33497 [16:33] Hopsyy: sorry, don't forget sudo [16:34] what is the evil in running cron jobs every too often,5 minutes apart for a whole day [16:34] auronandace: unmount should be installed first, nevermind [16:35] Hopsyy: what? [16:35] Fyodorovna: I have usual partiton table, as I can see. /dev/sda - is one existing drive (but GRUB somehow writes that there are hd0 and hd1), sda1 - efi partition, sda2 - windows 7, sda5 - linux ext4, sda6 - swap, sda7 - Lenovo Recovery [16:35] dagerik: do you hope to restore the partition at some point or you just want the user file in it? cp -a /source/path /destination/path might work but I havn't tested that from a ntfs windows partition [16:35] Hopsyy: mount and umount are basic commands, you don't need to install anything for them [16:35] auronandace: sudo: /unmount: command not found [16:35] ow wait [16:35] my backslash [16:35] sacarlson: I just want to browse the files on linux instead of windows. [16:35] Hopsyy: umount, not unmount [16:36] ah yes its working [16:36] !bootinfo | sourcerer run this script and pastebin the results.txt [16:36] sourcerer run this script and pastebin the results.txt: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems.

[16:40] Hopsyy: sda = 1st disk, sda1 = 1st partition on 1st disk [16:40] hopssy I do see a /dev/sdc1 you might try [16:40] curiousx: thanks. that seems to do the trick [16:41] cancer: hi, not bad, tried the additional drivers gui? [16:41] your welcome [16:41] auronandace and sacarlson when I check disk utility, my hdd has a unkown volume of 160 gb with device /dev/sdb [16:41] Hopsyy: yes, sdb is the whole disk [16:42] auronandace: good to hear, i have installed kubuntu. i haven't tried additional drivers. [16:42] auronandace: i don't want to messed up, so i'm here. [16:42] cancer: thats the official way to do it [16:42] is there a channel dedicated to upstart? [16:42] sacarlson: uhm, I cant do that, it says ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ sudo umount /mnt/ umount: /mnt: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) [16:43] Hopsyy: cd out of /mnt first [16:43] aha :p [16:43] hi .. when im opening more then 3 xsessions (switch users) my ubuntu doesnt respond anymore. The log says Out of memory and starts killing processes ... what can i do? [16:43] cancer: you can also use the package manager, be it through synaptic or just apt-get (not sure what gui kde uses though for package management) === Saunamonttu is now known as Saunatonttu [16:43] just187 add memory to your pc [16:43] Fyodorovna: please, wait a minute...

Good luck. [16:44] ok .. but it worked fine for about a year [16:44] sourcerer, cool [16:44] just187: buy more memory ram [16:44] auronandace: i'm not sure about which drivers to install [16:44] its still saying its bussy [16:44] zykotick9: just found #upstart ;) [16:44] auronandace: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV30GL [Quadro FX 1000] (rev a2) [16:44] Okay, I am having boot troubles; bootinfo pastebin: http://pastebin.com/TAhgnSyT .. Basically, on startup, if shift is held to bring up GRUB2 it says "Grub Loading.." and then boots regularly into Ubuntu. I cannot access the Windows7 boot at all. [16:44] Hopsyy: "mount" is not "umount" [16:44] cancer 295 [16:45] Yesteday I had trouble connecting to wifi, installed a package to update a driver, but today I was prompted by Ubuntu to 'install driver' to make my wireless card run better. However, when I attempted to install it it immediately cut me off from the internet. How do I get back on? [16:45] Hopsyy: first umount, then mount [16:45] SlothScripts: maybe grub2 is not responding to your usb keyboard? [16:45] SlothScripts, have you run sudo update-grub in ubuntu? [16:45] auronandace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/879132/ Check this please [16:45] cancer: you can install it by adding this PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ; sudo apt-get update [16:46] how could i create a crontab bi weekly? [16:46] tsimpson: I did, but anyway, it mounted sdc1 now [16:46] Hopsyy: ok :) [16:46] and that is my usb pendrive @ sacarlson [16:46] i search the net, but not find a good one [16:46] weiyang type man crontab [16:46] @sacarlson - I did not think of that; is there any way to tell? I mean; I may have another keyboard around somewhere. @Fyodorovna - I have not. I'll run the command now; anything particular I should be looking for? [16:46] SlothScripts, you also have two swaps opu need just one. [16:46] so It should be sdb :( [16:46] you* [16:46] MonkeyDust, yes, i tried [16:47] Bodsda: I'm having trouble again with my internet :/ Ubuntu prompted me to install a drive to make my hardware (wireless card) run better. Naively, I accepted and instantly I was cutoff from the internet. Can you remind me which commands I need to run? [16:47] MonkeyDust, i think man 5 crontab [16:47] SlothScripts, the update-grub command rewrites the grub menu basically. [16:47] weiyang https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [16:47] SlothScripts: If you do run from a usb keyboard you can enable it in bios for grub to respond to it [16:47] auronandace: commands in process> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ; sudo apt-get update [16:47] cancer: i don't use ppas and don't recomend them [16:48] sacarlson & auronandace: mount sdb1 doesnt exist and mount sdb cant read superblock [16:48] auronandace: you don't, but they are installed. now what should i do? [16:48] MonkeyDust, weekly is easy, just specify, for example Sunday is 0 [16:48] Fyodorovna - I ran it; what was your comment about swaps? I see what you're referring to, however, my ignorance in partitioning and what not is huge. How would that be fixed; in general. [16:48] SlothScripts, windows is showing in the script in the os-prober so it may just be need that command run to align. [16:48] Hopsyy: as I said I don't see any sdb drive so maybe there isn't one? [16:48] MonkeyDust, i tried 2/2, but couldn't work [16:48] I need to fully uninstall my apache so I can follow instructions here - http://groups.drupal.org/node/6266, how do I go about completely stripping apache2 from my environment? [16:49] SlothScripts, you have two swaps open gparted and look at the hd, install gparted if needed.

[16:50] does anybody think that will help [16:50] SlothScripts, you have to use a live cd to remove the extra swap I believe as the partition number is lower then others. [16:50] sacarlson: well, my samsung 64 gb (this was listed as sda), my notebook hdd that isnt working (should be sdb) and sdc is my usb where I am running ubuntu [16:51] I cant try one more time [16:51] auronandace: now what about those commands i have now installed. do i have to restart my pc? [16:51] Is there a way to make the Unity switcher ignore windows that are on other workspaces? The whole point of a workspace is to not have to deal with one huge list of running applications [16:51] Fyodorovna: on LiveCD/USB running "sudo swapoff -a" will also be required. (the LiveCD will automount any swaps it finds). SlothScripts [16:51] Hopsyy: ok so is sdb seen from within diskutilty? [16:51] i am using 11.10 mostly out of the box. can i make alt-tab work only within a workspace?

[16:52] sorry, just thought id get the wrd out [16:53] Hopsyy: well if you can see it from within diskutilty then run fsk in there [16:53] i have ccsm installed [16:53] hello [16:53] sourcerer, is the computer a apple computer you have NTFS / exFAT / HPFS partitions [16:53] please help me to disable the start of LOGIN SCREEN in Xubuntu 11.10 [16:53] i'm the only one user and i wont to be automaticaly log in, without pressing Login :) [16:53] Hopsyy: or within diskutility it's called check disk [16:54] Fyodorovna: no, it's usual Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E325, using EFI [16:54] curiousx: and how would i combine two of those h264 avi files? [16:54] a question: i have to build an ubuntu's network into my small company, i need an "active-directory-like" management of lan, with centralized user credential (and users that can use all the pc with their credentials), lan shared folder (with permission) and (nice-to-have) centralized management of ubuntu update. can someone give me some information/link/guide about that? [16:54] sourcerer: i don't understand why you are using efi though [16:54] \server irc.oltreirc.net [16:54] sourcerer, MS also used HPFS as well, I'm not at al familiar with fixing this though and few on here are ethier, post that bootscript in a thread at the ubuntu forums for best help really. [16:54] al* [16:55] I guess my primary concern is would the two swaps be preventing grub, or windows, from booting properly? If they are two separate problems, I'll tackle one at a time, otherwise, I'll look further into what you are talking about now,. [16:55] MonkeyDust: alright I can mount and simply tar all the folders, and then send it over the LAN. thanks :) [16:55] primary question* [16:55] niklasfi: mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -idx part_1.avi part_2.avi part_3.avi -o entire_video.avi [16:55] curiousx: ok. thanks didn't find that [16:56] your welcome [16:56] hi guys, my computer won;t actually turn off when I hit suspend, the screen stays on and it periodically goes to the locked screen until I unlock it again [16:56] or is there a better room to get support for compiz/gnome stuff on 11.10 ubuntu? i have changed some things but its still a pain [16:56] auronandace: i tired to install simple GRUB, but it won't work. Then I found that this PC uses UEFI === Matrixiumn is now known as GoldenEagle [16:57] sourcerer: ahh, uefi is different to efi [16:57] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/e1aW3su4 lshw was a complete list, I have selected this part [16:57] gdoteof: This room should be fine since compiz is part of Ubuntu. But there is #compiz I believe [16:57] sourcerer: i thought uefi was only introduced with win8, do they do uefi with win7? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [16:57] sourcerer: you have to disable it, in order to install a dualboot [16:57] sourcerer, opps sorry I missread HPFS I have it to you have no grub in the mbr not sure about any efi where do you see that? [16:57] going to the bios setup [16:58] then category "security" or some like that [16:58] auronandace: this laptop is amd64, and Windows 7 64 has support for EFI. But the problem is ... Windows 7 32-bit was preinstalled O_o I can't understand how it was booted at all [16:58] Is there a way to keep flashing icons in the Unity launcher flashing, instead of them stopping after a few seconds? [16:58] Hopsyy: I can see /dev/sdb there so did you say you an see it in diskutility? did you try check disk there? [16:59] sourcerer, you are missing files in the ubuntu grub files you need to chroot in and purgr and reinstall grub2 and put it in the mbr. [16:59] curiousx: oh, how I should install then? [16:59] purge* [16:59] Hopsyy: diskutility will also provide s.m.a.r.t results if the disk is healthy [16:59] sourcerer: strange, i'd wipe it and reinstall everything on msdos partition table, unless you have a pressing need for uefi [16:59] sacarlson: I dont see an option check disk, I see those 3 buttons: smart data, format drive, benchmark and format volume [17:00] then, to install ubuntu, is the same way [17:00] Fyodorovna: i have folder /boot/efi and my grub isn't grub-pc, it's grub-efi [17:01] sacarlson: smart data has one warning value, ID 197, current pending sector count [17:01] auronandace: i tried to disable uefi in bios. After it i can't boot ubuntu neither from usb stick, nor from hd [17:01] Hopsyy: I wonder if you ran checkdisk without sudo? you should see check bellow mount [17:02] Hopsyy: opps diskutility should provide checkdisk look down lower maybe it's off your screen? [17:02] sourcerer, where is this folder, and is it your install of a grub-efi? [17:03] Fyodorovna: "EFI" folder at /dev/sda1, mounted at /boot/efi. Also, grub-efi installed by ubiquity (or how is it called?) [17:03] sacarlson: how do I start disk utility with sudo? [17:04] Hopsyy gksudo [17:04] !gksudo | Hopsyy [17:04] Hopsyy: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [17:04] gksudo... [17:04] Is there a way to make the ubuntu to not stay indefinitely long up after it randomly wakes up from sleep mode in the bag no one has touched for hours? [17:04] What I am trying to do is make it so that alt-tab only works within a viewport/workspace [17:04] sure u can use sudo,too. but dont get mad if it fucks up somethin ;) [17:04] zykotick9, yeah. :) [17:04] I mean, like, could it be that it just shut down if no one touched it for 5 minutes or so? [17:05] !language | subz3r0 [17:05] subz3r0: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:05] ... [17:05] Or, even better, is there a way to make Ubuntu not wake up from sleep randomly when its put to sleep? [17:05] sourcerer, are you sure a ubuntu install will not instll grub-efi. [17:05] subz3r0: This is a family friendly channel~ [17:05] Any had any experience with SSL OpenVPN Connections? is there a client out there for fedora? [17:05] and Ubuntu? [17:06] sourcerer, sda1 looks to be a lenove firmware partition. [17:06] Fyodorovna: i installed ubuntu few times, grub-efi was installed, but it won't boot until i created efi partition [17:06] auronandace: what should I run :s [17:07] who can help me i want to change system font [17:07] Hopsyy: seems it should ask you when needed, but I looked closer and see that the check disk is in the volume section so if there is no volume detected on that disk it won't be seen, can you see checkdisk on the other disk /dev/sda1 ? [17:07] Hopsyy: if it is a graphical app, put gksudo in front of it [17:07] Anastasius: im here [17:07] sourcerer, I would post theat script at the ubbuntu forums. [17:07] henux: Hi! [17:07] *ubuntu [17:07] henux: How's the weather over there today?? [17:08] Fyodorovna: no, it isn't. It's created by ubuntu. I backed up original sda1 partition, though [17:08] ok. how about another question. is it possible to leave Super as the button that brings up the HUD for choosing applications; but NOT have super+number open applications from the taskbar [17:08] i prefer to have super+# for switching viewports [17:08] sourcerer, and if you mess with it repost a new script, there are daily helpers there that will probably get you fixed. [17:08] but like just pressing super to search for files/programs [17:08] Anastasius: its cloudy [17:08] gdoteof 12.04? [17:08] how to unlock gnome-keyring automatically in kde [17:08] MonkeyDust: 11.10 [17:08] gdoteof: You should probably just use a window manager that isn't Unity. [17:09] Nobody uses it, they just want you to think they do. [17:09] can somebody provide me a working link to the file http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/forum/attachments/2814031/angepasster-DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217.tar.gz? [17:09] Anastasius: its not ideal but its almost fine [17:09] Anastasius: unity uses compiz as the window manager, unity is a shell [17:09] auronandace: Thanks for the clarification. [17:09] sacarlson: I will do that in a moment, when I figure out how to run disk utility in sudo mode [17:09] Anastasius unity = gnome3 + compiz [17:10] Fyodorovna: so, I should register at ubuntuforums? [17:10] ? [17:10] i need two things still and its fine. first (low priority) is to allow super to bring up the unity menu but not have super+# select applications from the task bar [17:10] and second (high priority) is to have alt-tab work only within viewport [17:10] Hopsyy: gksudo palimpsest [17:11] pangolin: Hi! [17:11] sourcerer, you have standard mbr partitioning not sure why a sda1 is need I see no efi or guid partitkons [17:11] Oh whew, I thought that one was for me again. [17:11] Anyone good on bash i have a trap i can´t get work http://codepad.org/lMNgO6RJ [17:11] gdoteof: i think all these shortcuts can be configured with ccsm, but i don't know how that affects unity as i don't use either (happy xfce user here) [17:11] how to unlock gnome-keyring automatically in kde [17:11] Anastasius : Hello. Follow our channel guidelines and it won't need to be for you :) [17:12] sacarlson: thanks, uhmm yes I see the option of check filesystem on the other disk [17:12] Whiskey there's the #bash channel [17:12] them refuse to help me [17:12] ok. i have it close enough using 'ring switcher' and just turning off the unity switcher short cuts [17:12] thanks [17:13] Whiskey if they refuse, it must have a reason: what do you want to do [17:13] Hopsyy: ok so I guess the partition table is corupted, I'm not sure you can run fsk on a disk only on partitions [17:13] whit the bash script? [17:13] or what do you mean want to do? [17:13] pangolin: Oh, I always try to do so. [17:13] Whiskey why do the refuse to help you [17:13] they* [17:14] auronandace: can I run fsk only on partitions? [17:14] naa just tell me to read a damn documenation on 100 pages [17:14] Fyodorovna: I selected sda1 as efi partition in installer when installed ubuntu recently, only after i booted into Ubuntu [17:14] Hopsyy: yes [17:14] for fixing a small function, i don´t feel searching for it [17:14] sacarlson: I guess its possible [17:14] sourcerer, bad choice you don't need it as far as I can tell. [17:15] and if you watch the script. both is exactly the same, so how it can fails are relly strange :D [17:15] This is our fearless leader: http://i.imgur.com/xIwRO.png [17:15] Fyodorovna: i read it out from ubuntuforums at "Lenovo thinkpad Ubuntu 11.10 install manual" [17:15] sourcerer, efi is for gpt uuid partitions as far as I know, are you going to try the ubuntu forums? [17:16] Anastasius: He looks horribly disfigured [17:16] henux: It's the space radiation. [17:16] sourcerer, you have a link to that lenovo ubuntu wiki? [17:17] master_of_master: Do you ever slave yourself just for kicks? [17:17] Can someone help me to get ndiswrapper working, already have all of the files [17:17] or forum page sourcerer [17:17] !ot | Anastasius [17:17] Anastasius: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

I attach syslog output, dhcpd.conf and ifconfig info, could someone please help? thanks in advance; http://pastebin.com/dmH9itz3 [17:19] sourcerer, I found it thanks the problem is you do not have that type of partitioning you have a standard mbr set up. [17:19] auronandace: is it fsdk? or fsck [17:19] Fyodorovna: erm, and what I should do? [17:19] Hopsyy: fsck [17:20] woow the manual is complicated [17:20] curiousx: and would you know how to do -ss but for a certain frame? [17:21] Hopsyy: I see there is an application called testdisk that you might have to install to try [17:22] no i dont, just only hours, minutes, seconds, megabytes [17:22] Fyodorovna: it looks like I should format everything and reinstall? But I won't to lose installed Windows 7 :( [17:22] sourcerer, psot that script and explain what you have done with a link to that forum page, let the experts look at it. :) [17:22] sourcerer, at the ubuntu forums. [17:22] sacarlson: isnt just fsck -yvf /dev/sdb ? [17:23] Hopsyy: you can't do that, you can only fsck partitions, not whole disks [17:24] Hopsyy: I'm not sure I thought that only tested file systems, testdisk will do sector by sector test and recovery [17:24] auronandace: I see, terminal also gave the same error: Could this be a zero-length partition? [17:25] In Firefox when I middle click I see a "ball" of sorts and I can move my mouse to scroll (autoscroll = true or some such). How can I get this in Chromium? [17:25] Hopsyy: fsck isn't going to know what to do if it can't read the filesystem [17:25] I really need some help with this. Until I can get this part sorted out I'm at a standstill in my Ubuntu install. I'm booted with the ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso. I'm installing on a uefi system (Asus M5A99X Evo motherboard). The plan is to install a cli only system and build up from there. Post #7 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11757072#post11757072 contains my situation and question at the end of the post in a section l [17:25] abeled "Edit:". There are also screenshots attached to that post. Post #1 contains system information about my partition layout and such. Is there anyone here who can help me understand what I need to do at this point? [17:25] sourcerer, I think it is a fairly straight forward fix, relax post the info at the forums, it is the weekend a little slower there, but your best move really. [17:27] sacarlson: should testdisk fix this problem? [17:28] Hey guys so simple question. I should know this but I don't. how do I change the time in the terminal? [17:29] Persona24 what do you mean "change the time"? [17:29] Persona24, you using a server? [17:30] Persona24: I think it may be "date (Format is MMDDhhmmYYYY)" === Kris_ is now known as Guest65009 [17:30] you can type "date" and it will display the date/ time [17:30] I just want to change the time on my computer [17:30] The time change was yesterday [17:31] change the time? [17:31] Persona24, open date and time and turn the network time on [17:31] sounds "back to the future" to me [17:32] is anyone able to help me with my install? I'm stuck... [17:32] how can I switch between the windows of one application in Unity? e.g. between several open Pidgin windows. Alt-Tab alwas takes me to the next application, which is utter nonsense. [17:32] try ddate [17:32] ;D [17:33] Today is Setting Orange, the 70th day of Chaos in the YOLD 3178 :p [17:33] for some odd reason my date and time settings won't open. That's why I need the command for it === Mud is now known as Guest95733 [17:33] Can someone help me with my boot loader. Nothing I have tried thus far has worked: I have a dual-boot Windows 7 / 11.10 and grub doesn't come up on boot (i.e. I can only boot into Ubuntu.) If shift is held a message is displayed "Grub is loading" after that it just boots as if I had not done anything. [17:35] anyone here with experience on Ubuntu for PowerPC? === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC [17:37] Persona24 " I think it may be "date (Format is MMDDhhmmYYYY)" [17:39] That worked, thanks! [17:40] Is there a way to disable Unity's switcher (and use one of compiz's switchers) until Unity's gets more sane behavior? [17:41] !nounity | carl-eric [17:41] carl-eric: 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 [17:41] carl-eric there's a PPA available for MyUnity [17:42] I don't want to get rid of Unity entirely, since it looks like that's going to be the only choice at some point. I'm trying to make it usable. [17:42] carl-eric there's MyUnity and CCSM [17:42] Does MyUnity have anything that CCSM doesn't? [17:43] Is anyone available to try and debunk why my grub menu isn't loading on start-up? [17:43] Fyodorovna: so, I created topic on ubuntuforums. Hope, somebody will help me. Thank you [17:43] carl-eric dunno, you may want to try it [17:44] okay, I'll give it a shot. thanks MonkeyDust [17:45] i need link ubuntu 11.10 full dvd pack include must soft like opensuse dvd [17:45] slothscripts, have you tried holding shift during bootup? [17:46] Yup. That brings the message "Loading Grub" but then it just boots as if I hadn't held it. [17:46] Roj http://www.ubuntu.com/download [17:46] sourcerer, cool I could help maybe but I have a do no harm policy, sometimes it is better to refer than try and fix somebodies set up. :) [17:47] slothscripts, I would try repeatedly pressing both shifts, failing that try esc [17:47] slothscripts, you have dual or single boot? [17:47] It's a dual-boot with Windows 7. [17:48] slothscripts, is it a wubi install, which means ubuntu installed from windows. [17:48] http://www.ubuntu.com/download but this is cd version [17:48] Roj: yes, ubuntu fits in One cd [17:48] Uhmm.. Windows was installed first; then installed from there so I suppose so. [17:49] Roj: dvd only contains extra language packages [17:49] i need full pack [17:49] towerk http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 [17:49] Roj: the DVD is basically the CD with more language packs i believe, there is no DVD set with ubuntu [17:49] slothscripts, you should be getting the windows boot menu with a choice for ubuntu. [17:49] Roj: besides extra language packages, dvd is the same that cd [17:49] So apparently when installing VMware tools on a ubuntu VM [17:50] wrong nick [17:50] all I had to do for default settings was 'echo || ./vmware-install.pl' [17:50] Roj http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 [17:50] !bootinfo | slothscripts run this script from a live ubuntu cd and pastebin the results.txt [17:50] slothscripts run this script from a live ubuntu cd and pastebin the results.txt: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems.

If nothing helps, I just format Windows 7 partition (i already backed up Recovery Tool for some weird garanty-loss cases), and install XP + Ubuntu [17:50] I'm running an Ubuntu derivitive, Linux Mint LXDE, and I'm having trouble using dual NICs with static IPs by specifying them in /etc/network/interfaces, I think the GUI network manager applet (and/or whatever it is a front end too) maybe conflicting with it. I can't get it to work right in the GUI and would like to use the file based. [17:50] sourcerer, ew XP lol. :) [17:50] !mint| SoCo___ [17:50] SoCo___: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [17:50] I do not get any boot menu; It is a black screen with a flashing cursor (if shift is held it will display "Loading Grub") and then boots to Ubunutu; I will run that, one moment. [17:51] bah...its the same network manager . [17:51] slothscripts, do you have a recovery or install disc for windows? [17:51] Fyodorovna: I need Windows, because P-CAD, Mathcad and Multisim (which we use in university :( ) doesn't work in Wine [17:52] slothscripts, strange the script is our best look at the hd for sure. [17:53] sourcerer, I understand I'm a 99% open source user but need MS word in college as well. [17:53] I do not have a recovery disc for windows, it was pre-installed. http://pastebin.com/GKcv8QHW Is the results of the script.

[17:56] I have yes; [17:56] slothscripts, sorry sudo update-grub [17:56] Fyodorovna: I figured you meant :P But I did run it, it was suggested earlier; still the same results. [17:57] how to get tightvncserver to encode with maximum compression? [17:57] Does anyone in here have a good "HowTo" on the gnome-keyring/seahorse software? What's best practice on how to use it? [17:58] slothscripts, you have 3 swaps as well. [17:59] zykotick9, all software is free except the MS stuff, not sure I understand the question. I'm not a diehard RS fan. [18:00] Fyodorovna: How can I go about fixing that? I'm quite new to the whole partitioning game. I have yet to change anything myself, all the installation has been done based on recommended settings on the disc or whatever. [18:00] Fyodorovna: i was just joking with ya ;) it was a one liner. take care. [18:01] do you have to be special or something to get anyone to talk to you here? Just wondering cause... errr.... [18:01] new to ubuntu [18:02] slothscripts, tghe bootscipt basically looks like you should be getting a grub menu with W7 in it not sure why. To remove the swaps you need to boot a like ubuntu cd and turn all swaps off and just have one equal to your ram. If it was me I would purge grub and reinstall it from the cli in the desktop. [18:02] Maybe what I'm posting isn't even appearing on anyone elses screen - I see it on mine though... hmm... [18:02] is there an instructional or how to section on navigating the desktop? [18:02] zykotick9, I figured as such. :) [18:02] hi friends i recently switched from win p to ubuntu oneiric [18:03] to learn how to make shortcuts/launchers, customize panels, etc [18:03] YohanMeister maybe nobody knows the answer to whatever your question was [18:03] @vtmng hi i am also new to ubuntu [18:03] zykotick9, I bought a toshiba a205 two days ago it had the vista oem discs had to reinstall it to see how bad vista is. It actually runs very fast without much of the toshiba junk, would not really use it just wondered. [18:04] Fyodorovna: For removing swaps, is that reinstalling it, with custom partition this time instead? [18:04] MonkyDust: I suppose it's conceivable but I would think that out of all these people there's one other parson with a uefi system and ubuntu on it. [18:04] I can record troug my microphone but I have it as device and it`s volume is max waht should I do ?> [18:04] can anyone suggest some good online resource to learn terminal commands and other useful things for ubuntu? [18:04] AviD: kinda of weird desktop [18:04] dont think so [18:05] i am kind of loving it [18:05] i have installed gnome desktop [18:05] how to get tightvncserver to encode with maximum compression? [18:05] doesnt seem like there is much i can do with it, as in customize it [18:05] It's kinda frustrating just sitting here in the middle of an install, you know? [18:05] its easier [18:05] slothscripts, your question is two fold here removal is not installing. I would use the something other option which is a custom install in the ubuntu gui, that asks where you want the install. [18:05] AviD: i have default one, whatever that is [18:06] a big bar on the side [18:06] how to get tightvncserver to encode with maximum compression? [18:06] tightvncserver howto maximum compression? [18:06] YohanMeister maybe this link helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting [18:06] yes actually default one was slow i surfed a few websites and and installed gnome [18:07] Fyodorovna: Okay! Thanks very much, I'll start to work with this and see where it gets me! Thanks for your help! [18:07] its fast and easy i think for those who migrated from windows [18:07] slothscripts, you could reinstall, but your setup may be easily fixed especially since you can get to the ubuntu desktop. [18:07] MonkeyDust: I'll look at it again - maybe I missed something... [18:07] thx [18:07] yeah im going to look for something different too [18:07] How do you associate a file type with a shell script? [18:08] slothscripts, good luck, knowing some basic grub stuff is helpful if you dual booting, so you don't have to reinstall. [18:08] you're* [18:08] Fyodorovna: The liveCD you are talking about, it is the same as the installation one correct? and you mean to say boot from it and fix it through the custom option there?

How do I configure my network manager in that way? [18:10] a7a [18:10] slothscripts, there is alternative=no desktop text install. There is the live cd=desktop. You are mixing things up I'm not sure by what you mean by fixing it I gave you a remove the swaps option, and fixing grub, and instructions on a custom install to what are you referring [18:11] tightvncserver howto maximum compression? [18:11] where do you typically save new software programs on Ubuntu? For example, I just downloaded Sublime Text 2, and I'm not sure where's the best place to extract the files [18:12] anyone know of a ppa that tracks the latest nouveau driver for the oneiric kernel? [18:12] Fyodorovna: Sorry for my ambiguity. Fixing grub, I will take the suggestion of purging it and reinstalling; in reference to the swaps, and fixing that, I am slightly lost as for that fix. That is what I was referring to. [18:12] the nouveau that's in oneiric's kernel seems pretty buggy around suspend/resume [18:13] CacheMoney, i think that is in the repo [18:14] itaylor57: where do I find that? You know on WIndows there is a programs folder within C:/, what is the equivalent on Ubuntu? [18:14] can anyone suggest some good online resource to learn terminal commands and other useful things for ubuntu? [18:14] CacheMoney, go to software center, enter sublime text2 [18:14] Hey can any help me take out BOINC from startup [18:15] AviD, there are classic guides to bash, the default shell, but they are old and possibly misleading [18:16] !terminal | tensorpudding AviD [18:16] tensorpudding AviD: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I'm trying to use "mime-open --ask-default" to run it, and it asks, and then it says it's doing it, and then ... nothing. How do I associate .URL files with my .sh script? [18:18] infernal: what about "System > Preferences > Startup Applications" ? [18:18] slothscripts, the purge and reinstall of grub can be done from the ubuntu desktop of the install if you can get in or a live cd, just make sure you know what your doing. [18:18] Fyodorovna: the only thing on there is gnome sound [18:19] slothscripts, the script did not look like you needed a purge I suspect more user error here really.] [18:19] infernal, what? [18:20] man of rpm looks like "rpm(8)" ,what does that 8 represent ?

However, I'd like to now dual-boot with my new laptop but I'm unsure if I should go with the 32-bit or 64-bit version. On the Ubuntu page it says 32-bit (recommended) [18:51] np np [18:51] CacheMoney, well it depends on the cpu [18:52] subz3r0: I have AMD dual-core with 4gb of RAM [18:52] CacheMoney, 32 bit. the site tells you recommended accoring to the processor type accessing it [18:53] CacheMoney, well so i would choose the 64bit version [18:53] ever since the 3.* kernel, I haven't been able to record sound with my built in mic. I've played with alsamixer and the pulse settings, but nothing fixes it. [18:53] CacheMoney: grep lm /proc/cpuinfo ..if you get a result you have a 64bit processor and could use the amd64 version [18:53] i was viewing the page on my old laptop, I'm going to visit the page on my new laptop and see what they recommend [18:54] hi everyone [18:54] help [18:54] CacheMoney: its going to say the same thing. it does not check anything on your computer to determine that. [18:54] CacheMoney, it doesnt matter what the manufacturer recomment. its matters which cpu is used [18:54] diego | !ask [18:54] !ask | diego [18:54] diego: 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).

I have 64, and haven't had any problems related to it. [18:55] CacheMoney: No, using a 64bits version of GNU/Linux is as easy as a 32bits version [18:55] ciao [18:55] CacheMoney, shouldnt all major software runs 64 bit and 32 bit apps will run fine on a 64 bit os, if you have a cpu and mobo thats 64 bit you should be fine [18:55] okay. I'll go with 64bits then [18:55] CacheMoney: the only thing to think about is the 32bit version will see only 3.2GB of RAM. the 64bit will see all you have. there is no real difference other than that. [18:56] !lfs [18:56] LFS is Linux From Scratch (www.linuxfromscratch.org) - not to be confused with !LTS, which is the long term support release of Ubuntu (currently 6.06, 8.04 and 10.04) [18:56] hmm. what is the ! thing for the 32 bit kernel that can run more ram... [18:56] i always forget [18:57] Should phpmyadmin be installing into /usr/share/ or /var/www/? [18:57] I just installed Ubuntu on a P4 3Ghz, 1GB RAM, 120GB hard drive, etc, but it seems to be running extremely slow. Any idea on what I can do to speed it up?

Wireless is ok. Wired was working until I was forced to shutdown the PC with the power button because even alt-sysrq=reisub wouldn't work.

See the routing [18:59] table info here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/878250/ Please advise. [18:59] Bulbasaur: Do you know what video card you have? [18:59] bastidrazor, how can I do that? [18:59] ok Bulbasaur, tyr seeing what is eating up juice in the system monitopr [18:59] elijah, not really sure, but probably an old one. [18:59] * webnet is leaving for a few minutes [19:00] Bulbasaur: when you're asked to enter your password at login click the circle in the top right corner of that dialog window. [19:00] Bulbasaur: Can you search for the app called "system info" from unity launcher? [19:00] also note that the wired connection works fine in windows 7 [19:00] Bulbasaur: It should tell you your graphics/video card model [19:00] elijah, I found system monitor, is ythis it? [19:00] Anybody have trouble logging in with LighDM after an upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 1?

[19:03] so, basically, the speed may be due to an old graphics card? [19:04] Bulbasaur: in terminal type lspci | grep VGA [19:04] Bulbasaur: when you press the super/windows key does a search menu come up? [19:04] ved_ : correct, there are dependencies that are needed.

[19:05] Bulbasaur: yes [19:05] Bulbasaur: choose recommended [19:05] Bulbasaur: that should have a great deal [19:05] Bulbasaur: install nvidia-current but that card is really old and may not be up to par to run Unity in 3D. i have that same card in an old box and it could not do 3D Unity. [19:05] Bulbasaur: *help [19:05] dang how do i send a message to specific user [19:06] I downloaded XChat through the Ubuntu Software Center but in order to verify my license I need to copy the license file into the same folder as the xchat.exe file. Where is this file located? [19:06] \nick orion [19:06] CacheMoney1: xchat is free in Ubuntu. [19:06] elijah, currently doing it... [19:07] hi [19:07] how do I change the number of desktops? [19:07] bastidrazor: I didnt know that. I was forced to buy a license on Windows [19:07] Bulbasaur: K, that should help but as bastidrazor is saying maybe you will have to downgrade the 3d environment somehow, I don't know how to do that though [19:07] As you can see, 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8.1 is newer than 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8 in this example so why is stuff no installing? [19:07] why my laptop got freeze somtime it happen with all gnome Os but not with KDE [19:07] please [19:07] anyway ,what does a windoz user in a ubuntu chat :)) [19:07] \nick orion [19:08] anyone have a few minutes to look at my issue above? [19:08] maybe you have a issue with xorg [19:08] Hey guys, I have a folder somehow named "~" in root. Is this supposed to be there? [19:08] elijah, no problem there, I just want to use the system, "looks" aren't all that important to me. [19:08] what graphiccard do you have? [19:09] Bulbasaur: I had a laptop the other day that was slow even with nvidia drivers, the suggestion I got was to put Xubuntu on it, it was way faster running Xubuntu, so you may try that also. [19:09] elijah, what's the difference between the two? [19:10] Bulbasaur: xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce as the GUI, it looks and behaves very differently graphically [19:10] I've had installed several different GNU/Linux distros that worked very well and fast in this computer, a desktop. Recently I've installed Debian, it was slow, sensibly slower than any other distros. I did already use Debian on this machine having a normal speed. I recall Debian being the fastest distro I've ever used, and that was indeed strange, the turning point to change to Ubuntu was when I started [19:10] to get black screens that wouldn't go away, the keyboard with lights off, not being possible turning on numlock or CTRL+ALT+F1-2,3,etc. Only rebooting could make the problem go away. So I installed Ubuntu, thing that was complicated, several times I would get a black screen or blank screen, but I got it through after trying several times. The problem persisted, and I sometimes get this problem. [19:10] hi all, i'm starting using python to do same simple tools, online i found my solution but i cannot understand it! can you explain me what this line does? vcmd = (e.register(validate), '%P') [19:10] The problem is much more prevalent on Ubuntu. It occourred with its Live USB thing many times. It occourred in Debian too, but much less. [19:11] Working logs: [19:11] http://pastebin.com/dhDbJ7LM [19:11] http://pastebin.com/qPHhstrb [19:11] elijah, I may try that later, but I really would prefer to stick to Ubuntu [19:11] Bulbasaur: but is the same core, packages install the same. Kinda like a car that has the same engine and transmission but the controls to operate it are a bit different and it has a different body on it [19:11] is chrome os as popular as ubuntu now? [19:11] how do i highlight message for person [19:12] Bulbasaur: yeah, i hear you there. I like the new Ubuntu quite a bit and Xubuntu is a completely different environment [19:12] elijah, it's just that I don't know much about Linux, so I'd rather stick to the basics, since I'm a member of a translation team [19:12] Bulbasaur: good idea [19:13] nvidia drivers..that reminds me is there a video driver that will let me set dual monitors? === Guest59626 is now known as l [19:13] the ones suggested in additional drivers don't seem to do it === l is now known as Guest78512 [19:14] tenbill were you talking to me re: xorg?

[19:33] webnet, it's brutal. no mic for months now. no skype, no google chat, no sound recorder === Mud is now known as Guest88897 [19:34] Seven_Six_Two, yeah. in 10.10 where i am stuck i cant use webcam [19:34] Seven_Six_Two, if you can narrow it down to which kernel version it broke in, and file a bug report, that would help get it fixed. You can try each mainline kernel version here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [19:34] I heard about something called prelink, can this really help me here? [19:34] webnet, the worst part is that I can't even see anything wrong. the hardware is detected and appears exactly as it always has. [19:34] i understand and not root as far as i know. i am in my home directory. i am not well versed in openbsd and the default root. [19:34] pangolin, thanks but I have been through that page many times without finding where the private key is [19:35] psusi, it broke with the first 3. kernel that made it in to the repo. and every kernel after that. [19:35] Seven_Six_Two, right, but if you could narrow it down more precisely to which mainline version, it would help [19:35] Seven_Six_Two, you can check in synaptic if you have package named "linux-image-2.6-686" and install it if it's there === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [19:36] velko, there haven't been any 2.6 in the repos for a while. [19:37] psusi, I might do that, but those are very very vanilla, without the ubuntu patches, and won't work with binary drivers... [19:37] Seven_Six_Two, tough luck [19:37] psusi, I was reading about the mainline ppa, and I was wondering, should I add it as a ppa, or just grab the debs that I require? [19:38] Seven_Six_Two, true... but the more specific you can nail down where it broke, the more likely it is to get fixed, and then you can go back to running the normal kernel [19:38] Seven_Six_Two, if you add it as a ppa you will only be able to install versions for your current ubuntu release... so I'd say just download 'em [19:39] Seven_Six_Two, of course, if you are still running oneiric, and think it worked some time after 2.6.39, then adding it as a ppa should be good enough [19:39] is this the right place to come to get help with ndiswrapper [19:39] ? === AV is now known as AV123 [19:41] psusi, I'm on oneiric, but unfortunately I don't remember the exact version. There was a time when there was 2.6.** in the repo at the same time as the new 3.0.**. That's when it worked last. The latest 2.6.**. I went back and forth between the two versions, and only the older one worked. === mh0 is now known as AppleJ [19:43] Seven_Six_Two, then I'd say try that 2.6.39-oneiric mainline build and see if it works, then try more recent ones until it breaks... if you can get it down to works in X, breaks in X+1, that would really narrow down the set of changes that could have caused the problem, making it much easier to find [19:43] psusi, thanks for the advice. I'll give that a try. [19:44] people, how can I put an icon for Firefox in my desktop? Is it possible? Because this computer will be for my mom, and she is used up to that sort of thing.

I have my partiton map written on paper [19:46] psusi, it's not :P [19:46] Bulbasaur, I mean, whether it is there, or an inch further to the right doesn't make any difference [19:47] my partition table seems to be broken or corrupt HELP i would like to fix this with out reinstall [19:47] xddc send #file [19:47] !warez > diego [19:47] diego, please see my private message [19:47] ubuntu, google "boot info script", download and run it, and pastebin the results [19:48] ok psusi [19:48] !warez [19:48] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[20:14] Hi! I've added a PPA, because of the beta GIMP (http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu/) lib dependency: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ricotz/testing/ubuntu/ - unfortunately, it upgrades my unity and a lots of other packages. I'm looking for a method, how to prioritize it goodly, because I can pin the host only(ppa.launchpad.net), and I don't want it. I've other LP PPAs. The second question is, how can I downgrade (expect the required l [20:14] ib)? [20:14] velko, should work with a shell script too, doesnt it? [20:14] subz3r0, i don't see any reason why not. haven't tried it though [20:14] I mean I don't like learning new scripting languages...

[20:17] hi, I've installed ubuntu near windows, but I'm I launch my computer, I'm not asked if I want to go to ubuntu or winfows, it goes directly to windows, do you know why? [20:17] SHOVELL i guess /dev/sda is simply not used and your system is installed on /dev/sdb or so [20:17] bouzbou: did you install ubuntu to a seperate physical drive? [20:18] MonkeyDust, nope i am running off sda right now [20:18] no I chose the split option [20:18] SHOVELL idd, fdisk -l says that [20:18] bouzbou: boot to the liveCD and install grub to the drive. You can use this guide: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ [20:18] Hopsy, according to this link it could be a sign for bad sectors. http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html [20:19] velko: and what to do now :( [20:19] MonkeyDust, what idd? [20:19] SHOVELL idd, /dev/sda is being used, is what i mean [20:20] In bash is there a way to perminently store a variable (that updates) on every run? And the value it holds? [20:20] Hopsy, make a backup as fast as you can. get a new drive. this may continue to work but creeping data corruption is a real danger. [20:20] velko: how to make bakeup? I cant reach it [20:20] wolfmitchell better ask that in #bash [20:20] back up * [20:20] MonkeyDust: Thanks. [20:20] MonkeyDust, i am running ubuntu from sda1 [20:21] hi [20:21] SHOVELL yes, it shows, I wonder why gparted shows something else [20:21] is it ok to have a cpu at max frequency but low load? [20:21] Hopsy, if you have enough free space on a bigger drive you can copy every bit from the old one via "dd". later you can attempt recovery on this image [20:21] ActionParsnip: do I need to do it with an USB or I can use the CD I have instead? === Spyro2 is now known as Gyes [20:22] velko: Ooh, I've been needing something like that... [20:23] SHOVELL the only thing that comes on my mind, is that you didn't start gparted as root, but i'm not sure if that's even possible or makes a difference [20:23] MonkeyDust, \that image i showed has the disk utility in it on the bottom right ant is shows a huge partition at the end that doesnt exits [20:23] MonkeyDust, i am running gparted as root [20:24] i tried to follow http://ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html but am getting an error with it not being able to find/install nvidia-glx package.

[22:35] theTroy: you could put it into /dev/shm maybe? [22:35] That startup disk creator looks as easy to use as unetbootin [22:36] never knew that program was there [22:36] Using 11.10 with a brand new $1500 desktop (Radeon 8950). When I alt+tab, the windows all disappear for a second, then reappear. Sometimes this happens and I can't use my keyboard anymore and Unity crashes. Any ideas? [22:36] ssta: could you clarify? wouldnt that mean that any changes would be lost? [22:36] theTroy: yes, it would. [22:36] theTroy: I'm not really sure what it is you want...it was just a suggested path [22:37] I wanted to simply load a file into memory. When you copy a large file over, ubuntu caches it, so if I copy it again, it will take much less time (since it doesnt read from HDD anymore) [22:37] theTroy: sure, add the command to copy the folder in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0', to copy to a ram drive and it will be in RAM. You will need to copy back to the hard storage before power off to retain changes [22:37] I simply want to force-cache a file or folder [22:38] not sure you can do that [22:38] ActionParsnip: I do not want to operate on a file in RAM, I want to to be cached, as linux caches any other file (I explained above) [22:38] ssta: why not? [22:38] Guest38150: yes worked much better for me [22:38] http://xdcc_10 [22:38] ActionParsnip: I don't know of any way to force a file into cache. Whether or not the kernel decides to cache something is up to the kernel, not userspace [22:39] theTroy: how is it different? [22:39] ActionParsnip: actions performed on the file will be performed on the HDD image, while any read action will be taken from RAM [22:39] since that is what linux cache does, as far as I understand [22:40] http://xdcc_9 [22:40] theTroy: you could work on the file in the ram drive and you could cron an rsync to copy the file to the drive periodically. This would achieve the same [22:40] stracqua, what are you trying to tell us? [22:40] theTroy: i can't think of another way to do it. maybe others have alternatives [22:42] +I [22:42] Anyone know why I would lose my title bars and the ability to type after alt+tabbing in 11.10? [22:42] ActionParsnip: Hmm, yeah, I might not be explaining correctly. Am I correct to say that linux caches file (i.e. reads it into RAM) if I use nautilus copy function? But at the same time if I change the file that has been copied, the cache is freed (I can see it happening on system monitor). But from your words there is no way to manually act on this behaviour? [22:43] theTroy: you could (maybe) cp the files to /dev/null, which MIGHT put them in the read cache...and the kernel MIGHT leave them in the cache until you need them... [22:43] ssta: this is closer to what I wanted :) [22:43] theTroy: it's far from certain though...really manipulating the cache isn't something that can be reliably done from userspace [22:44] ssta: thanks for explanation, Ill try to search further :) [22:44] <_amoeba> is there a way where I can set the icon for mp3 files ?
