[00:01] jen_ : did you try the "locate" command to search for your screensavers? if they're there, it will find them === dylan_ is now known as Dylan[SlothScrip [00:02] jen_: http://www.solarum.com/2010/01/03/acer-aspire-battery-not-charging/ seems a BIOS upgrade helps [00:02] so I almost got this working in a virt, but now when I run usb-creator-gtk & set it up to install, it shuts down the ubuntu virt :( === Dylan[SlothScrip is now known as SlothSCript === SlothSCript is now known as SlothScript [00:02] well...if I can recall, I downloaded the awesome 'blue screen of death' somewhere KMV01 showed me (he's awesome by the way) and it had a bunch of screensavers but I dont remember how I did it [00:03] Question - if I want to use something other than Unity as my default environment, yet I want automatic login, how do I select which DE I want since I won't have the option to choose @ login screen? [00:03] oh synaptic! [00:03] can one of you guys recommend a twitter client that provides real-time updates for ubuntu 11.10? I hear good things about polly, is it worth the install? [00:03] Roasted you CAN choose at login - click on the gear [00:03] CFHowlett, right - but how would I do that with automatic login to a specific user account? [00:04] but then again I dont know what package to get [00:04] So my issue, currently, is that when I boot my computer grub will not start. If I hold shift, I get a message "Grub Loading.." but then the screen essentially shuts off with the message "Out of Range" and it changes resolution. After that, it boots to Ubuntu. I am currently unable to access my Windows 7; does anyone have any ideas? [00:04] so what is the package for screensavers on synaptic? [00:04] Roasted aaah, different question. Sadly, IDK as I still use 10.04. ask the channel about setting default DE [00:04] CFHowlett, nevermind, it looks like it still holds the last one I logged in as. I don't recall 11.10 doing that. I'm on 12.04 now (wrong chat, just realized, shoulda been in ubuntu+1 for that) [00:05] CFHowlett, but nonetheless, fixed! :D [00:05] Roasted: the last session is remembered for each user [00:05] when I run htop in a terminal, it occupies the terminal,,, can I start and run another terminal for other tasks while htop is running? [00:06] Toph2 yes [00:06] Help me please! I'm begging you! Pinta just crashed and corrupted my project. How do I get it back?! Isn't there a bak somewhere?? [00:06] Toph2: of course -- this is Unix, it's multiprocessing and multiuser :) [00:06] jen_, i think xscreensaver is fairly popular. I haven't personally tried it yet [00:06] Toph2: sure, press CTRL+ALT+T [00:06] yeah I have xscreensavers but there are a bunch just missing from then tannerste [00:06] indeed,, thanks all [00:06] upset: use your data backups will be a great way [00:06] ActionParsnip: Could you explain? [00:07] oops [00:07] woot, I got it working -- the trick was to attach the usb passport drive to the virt as an ide disk === LeeJiin is now known as Airtreck [00:07] jen_, hmm, check out this post talking about xscreensaver http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/enable-screensavers-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ [00:07] Please, does anyone know how I can repair this file or get an older version back?! [00:07] upset: how long have you had the project going? [00:08] ActionParsnip: Three days. I've been opening and closing and saving often [00:08] upset: so you will have backed it up, right? to a USB storage or a different PC, or a DVD or such... [00:08] ActionParsnip: Obviously if I did I would not come here [00:09] upset: why did you not make a backup? [00:09] If i do this, will it find all rars in subfolders and unpack the files IN those subfolders? : find . -iname "*.rar" -exec unrar {} \; [00:09] ActionParsnip: That's NOT an answer to my question [00:10] upset: unless you made a backup the file will be gone as data recovery apps like foremost will simply recover the bad file [00:10] ActionParsnip: It's not deleted [00:10] It's just corrupted [00:10] is there a way to correct a logical partition ending beyond the end of the physical drive? [00:10] upset: yes, so there is no way to restore the data as you made no backup [00:10] ActionParsnip: There are no earlier versions anywhere? [00:11] upset: you could try an fsck on the partition [00:11] there is no "system restore" in linux :) [00:11] upset: not unless the software you made the file in makes them, no [00:11] ActionParsnip: Fffffffffff [00:11] upset: make backups and you have no issue [00:11] ActionParsnip: I'm furious [00:11] oh this has been bugging me too but I totally forgot about it, how can you adjust the settings so if you have one window up, you can click on the second one but the other window is still behind it, [00:11] ActionParsnip: Fuck you, man [00:11] noone? oO [00:11] i cloned ubuntu server from on machine to another. eth0 device is not found on the cloned machine (exact same hardware) [00:11] mellow out people [00:11] upset: you learned the hardest way possible of the value of backups, sorry [00:12] tried sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.old [00:12] uh that was WAY rude! [00:12] now there's an eth0, but still won't get an IP address [00:12] ActionParsnip, you are a valued comunity resource tyou dont deserve whay upset just did [00:13] umm [00:13] SHOVELL, if you delete a partition and recreate it, begining at the exact same byte then it will be ok, all you have to do is resize2fs it somehow, be carefool resize2fs takes a size parameter [00:13] ActionParsnip: Do you happen to have any ideas on a grub menu not loading, even with holding shift; I've purged and reinstalled, and some other obvious solutions. [00:13] Zaitzev: looks ok, just watch for duplicated folders coming out of the archives as they may overwrite each other or similar, not sure where the extracte files would go tbh [00:13] btw, hi again ActionParsnip , danileigh79 spoke nicely to me about you. So hi! [00:13] hi Airtreck :) [00:14] Zaitzev: i'm sure the guys in #bash will be able to help a little :) [00:14] ActionParsnip: But the syntax looks fine? Guess I could run it and see what happens.. I asked because I wasn't sure if that's the "best" way to do it, or even the right way [00:14] Hm, guess I can start hanging out there as well ;) [00:14] SHOVELL, i used parted to create the partition [00:14] Zaitzev: you could copy a subset of the files out to a test folder and see what happens [00:15] Kotus, the other issue is that the logical partition contains the swap "drive" [00:15] ActionParsnip: Yeah that's what I was gonna do, don't want to mess up the originals or anything ;p === sk3ptic_1ne is now known as _amoeba_ [00:15] then simply remove it after( swapoff /dev/partition ) [00:16] Zaitzev: you gotta watch out for duplicate file names in the files though dude. That stuff gets messy [00:17] Kotus, cant i just change the end sector? [00:17] can someone help me figure out how to sync some music on my phone with amarok, and have it transcode to mp3? Currently I tell it to copy to that collection, but it keeps the flac format. [00:17] apt-get update is failing on precise cause its asking for the uncompressed Packages, over the .gz/.bz2 [00:17] I am really asking if it is possible to synch [00:17] q [00:17] SHOVELL, can gparted do it , check it out [00:18] scientes: are you using Precise? [00:18] ActionParsnip: Guess I need some flags to unrar as well [00:19] Am getting /bin/bash: java: command not found. Can someone take a look at this and point me in the right direction? http://paste.ubuntu.com/879711/ [00:19] anyone know how to clear previously failed packages from showing up evbery time you try to install something?? [00:20] hoshi411: you uninstall them [00:20] que [00:20] Anybody know what precise command one should enter in Ubuntu when it says, "Make sure that the « data » sub-folder is writeable by the webserver." [00:21] I currently have 3 swaps, and need only one. Can anyone help me in correcting this? [00:21] I'm presuming some type of chmod command...? [00:21] AjaxPlorer install [00:21] Hoshi did you check /tmp? [00:23] how do I change the system resolution when no proprietary driver is installed and xrandr only shows one resolution? I have an old desktop with integrated intel 845 which is buggy so the Ubuntu team sets it for only one resolution. [00:23] SlothScript: configure your OSes to use the same swap partition, then delete the other 2 and either create data partitions in them, or resize the other partitions into the free space. I suggest you take a full backup in case of catastrophe. You will be modifying your drive in a big way [00:24] beenohano: what GPU? [00:24] Slothscript: You can use Gparted... That will help you modify / delete your swap partitions... Please back up before use though... [00:25] beenohano, start with cvt 1600x1200 60, then xrandr --newmode "the result from cvt", then xrandr --addmode 1600x1200_60.00 VGA1 [00:25] ActionParsnip: integrated intel graphics (845G/GL) [00:25] ActionParsnip, Super_Dog - This being the first time I have ever done any direct editing to my partition; is there any guide which would talk in more detail as to what I need to do? [00:26] Gyes: that doesn't work with the old intel 845g/gl. I can't add any modes. [00:26] beenohano: and the output of: lsb_release -sc [00:27] here is some explanation of why only one resolution is allowed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Mavericki8xxStatus [00:27] ActionParsnip, Super_Dog - I can search for the guide myself; I just am really at a loss of what to even look for because my understanding is so limited. [00:27] I'm wondering if it's possible to change that one allowed resolution [00:28] is there a way to manually modify a partition table? [00:28] SlothScript: if you look in /etc/fstab you will see how swap is mapped, choose a swap partition and make that the same for all the install OSes. [00:28] Slothscript: You can load and "look" at your drives with GParted. Do you know how to install GParted in Ubuntu? [00:28] ie nano or other text editor [00:28] Am getting /bin/bash: java: command not found. Can someone take a look at this and point me in the right direction? http://paste.ubuntu.com/879711/ [00:29] That would be your first step... [00:29] does anyone know how to make the text in XChat larger? Zoom in? [00:29] binger: do you have java installed? [00:29] I can walk you through it if you're that new to Ubuntu... [00:29] I have installed it yes; [00:29] SlothScript: use your exact words to describe what you want to do, you will find beginner guides. Also take notes on paper. Also backup everything and make a map of files you have. The guide will ask you to use a botting disk/usb [00:29] ActionParsnip, yes I do. [00:30] I am not so much new to Ubuntu in general, but the partitioning; and the core of it, I am quite new there. [00:30] hi. [00:30] CacheMoney, isn't it in the preferences? [00:30] Are there any tools like UnFreeze (to turn a batch of photos into an animated .gif) for Ubuntu? [00:30] May I ask what impact having 3 swaps opposed to the one that is needed will have on my system? [00:30] Sloth: Upon up Gparted.... look.... Don't touch or Apply anything. You will need your sudo password to get in there.... [00:30] SlothScript: i am new too, but i managed to patition with guides, not that hard. Try to read the guide carefully and take notes [00:31] ActionParsnip, am thinking it could be a PATH issue but am not sure [00:31] Gyes: Couldn't find anything relating to zoom or text size.. Seems like it should be in there :/ [00:31] can you change the font ? [00:32] it must be saying FreeSans 9, make it 12 [00:32] The reason I ask, for the real impact, is because the issue I am trying to fix right now has to do with Grub; and if they are two unique issues I'd like to tackle grub first, however, if they contribute to one another than obviously it is best to take both at once. [00:32] Gyes: Yes, good call. Thanks! [00:32] np [00:32] Are you multi-booting Sloth? [00:32] SlothScript: how my OS's you have on your system? [00:33] Sloth: To my knowledge - multiple swap partitions aren't a big problem. Maybe just a waste of a bit of hard drive space depending on your configuration... [00:33] Super_Dog, Airtreck: I have dual-booted; Windows7 + Ubuntu 11.10; However, grub menu will not appear; holding shift brings the message "Loading Grub.." but then a message which says somethign to the extent of "Input is out of range" and changes the screen resolution comes up and it boots directly into Ubuntu. [00:34] Super_Dog, Airtreck: Essentially, through any efforts thus far, I have been unable to boot into Windows 7 since I've installed Ubuntu 11.10; [00:34] did you install ubuntu after linux? [00:34] Grub can be a little tricky. My problems with Grub and Windows 7 went away with the new Grub 2 in the 11.04/11.10 editions of Ubuntu... [00:35] I had Windows 7 installed, and used the main download from Ubuntu to install 11.10 with the default partitioning. [00:35] well that pretty much "deleted" windows [00:35] ActionParsnip, any other thoughts on what might be happening? [00:35] I always use "manual". It is actually easier that way... I've got like 10 systems with multi-boot... [00:35] wow 10 ! [00:35] there is no way to manualy correct the size of a partition without gparted(which has an error? [00:35] Your windows actually isn't deleted... [00:36] Unless you did something really goofy... Can you see your NTFS in Gparted? [00:36] Airtreck, Windows isn't deleted. I can see the partition in my drive; I just don't have the boot menu [00:36] Windows is still there. I just can't access Grub. [00:36] Airtreck uninstalling them does not work [00:36] i get thrown back to the login screen whenever I try to play an .ogv file. any ideas? [00:36] i get dpkg errors [00:36] Sloth.... Can you boot windows? [00:36] I am not able to through grub; and I know no other way; [00:36] I'm currently copying about 300gb of data from one disk to another, and there are some errors along the way that i've had to skip. It got tedious so I hit "skip all", is there a place I can look to see all the files that were skipped? [00:37] binger: not sure, you may need to run: sudo update-alternatives --config java [00:37] is it possible your system was initially a linux system that had windows installed? then the ubuntu over windows [00:37] because of this one package errors it prevents me from installing anything else [00:37] Sloth: But you can boot windows right now or no? Grub or any other way? [00:38] i tried dpkg --purge [00:38] No. Grub menu does not load; I do not know how else I could boot it. [00:38] but that would not get rid of it [00:38] Super_Dog: No he can't. Installing linux in default keeps windows, but you're not able to use it [00:38] OK.... Would you like to at least get back to booting windows? [00:38] You really have to handle one problem at a time here.... [00:38] That's what I want to do. [00:38] That is my main issue; primary concern. [00:39] trying to dual booth windows 7 and ubuntu with new pc with efi. [00:39] so you prefere keeping windows and deleting ubuntu? [00:39] seems when I'm loaded in Ubuntu it doesn't 'see' my windows system.. [00:39] gives me no choice but to do a clean install [00:39] For now; I would reinstall manual partition again afterwards; but I need to keep Windows yes. [00:39] adam@Shovell:~$ sudo gparted [00:39] ====================== [00:39] libparted : 2.3 [00:39] ====================== [00:39] Can't have a partition outside the disk! [00:39] SHOVELL: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:39] anyone have any ideas? [00:40] oops [00:40] oPhelias_: did you do a wubi install? [00:40] Sloth: You've got your Windows 7 boot disc? [00:40] No I do not; the harddrive came installed with it; [00:40] doc-saintly, diff folder1 folder2 [00:40] Oh boy... [00:41] SlothScript got something for you [00:41] no I want I have an iso with unetbootin [00:41] want to setup up a separate system [00:41] Can you download a Windows 7 image somewhere.... Torrents or what not... [00:41] Oh boy. . ." is how I felt entirely. [00:41] :) [00:41] I can look for it; [00:41] CFHowlett: Yes? [00:41] SlothScript what's the brand of your computer??? [00:41] oPhelias_: if you install ubuntu "from windows", then you cannot see the rest of the partition you installed it on. if you want to access your windows system through ubuntu, it has to be installed on a different partition [00:42] HP [00:42] Super_Dog, please do not suggest illegal download. [00:42] You may not need to have an HP Windows 7 disc to resuscitate the MBR... [00:42] oPhelias_: your best bet is to make a new partition and install it there properly, not "from windows" [00:42] SlothScript see http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3316.aspx download the iso, create a boot usb with unetbootin. REPAIR your windows, not reinstall. [00:42] I am not doing it from windows [00:42] I have ubuntu on a usb stick [00:43] No illegal... There's lots of legal Windows 7 images on the net... I've got access to Technet and they have tons of Windows 7 images there... [00:43] Good night people. I have a problem with youtube, the screen is smaller, I'm using google chromium browser. What do I fix this? [00:43] I rebooted and am trying to install on the hd [00:43] but with efi ...it tells me that my hd is empty [00:43] anyone know how to get apt from trying to satisfy the last install operation???? [00:43] it's not ...has windows 7 [00:43] Sloth: Essentially you will need to do a boot repair.... [00:44] !who [00:44] Hello, wondering how i can find what programs are eating my kbs without my knowledge? im a bit novice with linux. [00:44] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:44] oPhelias_: you don't see any partitions in nautilus? (file manager) [00:44] Okay, so you guys think I should download a Windows 7 image, repair from it and then try from there? [00:44] http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ [00:44] wideawake in a terminal run ps-x [00:44] help , i can't install anything because apt tries to install the last failed package every time [00:44] that package will not delete [00:44] I've used this facility successfully on machines that hosed their MBR and / or screwed up their GRUB installation.... [00:44] dpkg purge will not delete it === AlexAverill is now known as AlexAv [00:45] is there something I must enable [00:45] CFHowlett, No command 'run' found, did you mean:... [00:45] hoshi411, what package is failing? [00:45] I pulled up 'disk utility' [00:45] how do I get apt to understand that they dont need to do that [00:45] HI is there something I must enable...for remote desktop viewer to work [00:45] Seven_Six_Two: linux-image [00:45] and it does say ntfs partition [00:45] widewake: You can also try 'top' in your terminal. alternatively install 'htop' which is a more readable version of top [00:45] wideawake. open a terminal. type ps -x. press enter [00:45] CFHowlett, not found [00:45] but when I go to install doesn't give me the choice to shrink the partition or install [00:45] along sidde [00:46] SlothScript: No you can't recover grub with a windows image [00:46] I mean to repair the windows system; and then re-do the entire process with Ubuntu. [00:46] Instead of trying to repair grub from Ubuntu? [00:46] oPhelias_: is that the only partition? [00:46] hoshi411, what is the error it gives? [00:47] yes... [00:47] Sloth: If I was forced to bet my life, I would tell you that you hosed your Windows MBR (Master Boot record) with Grub... [00:47] AgamemnonZ, tried agem, it is like system monitor :) [00:47] Good night people. I have a problem with youtube, the screen is smaller, I'm using google chromium browser. What do I fix this? [00:47] the problem with windows is that the grub only sees ubuntu. You can't fix grub through windows [00:47] Question: Is it be conceivable that ATI and/or NVIDIA would ever open-source their drivers? If so, should we create a petition to urge them to do so? [00:48] widewake: good; also it is ps -x (with a space before the -) this should work [00:48] AgamemnonZ, highly unlikely. Not worth the effort. [00:48] grub is something beyond windows in lamest terms [00:48] I have fixed these situations MANY times by first fixing windows and then installing Ubuntu properly (manually.... :-)) [00:48] CFHowlett, this is what im getting for ps -x Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? , not sure what that means [00:48] why do you think so Seven_Six_Two? [00:48] widewake try "top" [00:48] widewake: man ps for more info [00:48] Super_Dog: how did you fix windows? [00:48] Okay; so what I am asking is the proposed solution is to download a windows image; repair windows from that so that using windows boot loader I can get into windows, and then reinstalling ubuntu manually? [00:48] Grub and Windows MBR live in the same "space" so to speak... Grub is awesome when it's configured correctly... [00:49] AgamemnonZ, because they make a lot of money selling proprietary solutions, and a large part of that is algorithms [00:49] SlothScript actually, you shouldn't need to reinstall ubuntu. [00:49] SlothScript fix windows. then reinstall GRUB [00:49] CFHowlett, yes, did top looking at it. will it tell me whats using my kbs? [00:49] CFHowlett, i think i got too much crap running lol [00:50] Seven_Six_Two: http:/www.pastebin.com/GskLiZx7 [00:50] boolean, thanks boo, srry im a bit novice [00:50] 1) Boot Windows from disc and let it run an installation repair 2) Fix with re-install of Ubuntu manually. (Grub automatically sees and recognizes Windows installs including XP, Vista, and 7.) [00:50] Also, for systems that can boot windows, see the EasyBCD link I gave above... [00:50] PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND is whati get top. kb/s? [00:50] widewake: we all were at one point .. man is the best for those who can Read The Fine Manual [00:51] boolean oh, is THAT what rtfm means now?? :) [00:51] Seven_Six_Two: making their drivers open-source wouldn't change much about ati/nvidia's dominance i guess as nobody can create their hardware [00:51] Super_Dog: your computer had manual or default linux over windows installation? [00:51] so how do you get apt-get to stop trying to install failed packages??? [00:51] Im wondering if there is a way to directly see what on your computer is using Kb at that moment. perhaps a program for it [00:51] i just want it to be quiet and give up [00:52] widewake: define Kb .. networking or memory usage? [00:52] hoshi411: you uninstall the failed application(s) [00:52] Okay; so I am currently downloading the image for Windows 7. Burn a bootCD from that. Installation Repair; then how would I go about fixing grub from there? I mean, theoretically should I be able to boot from either windows or ubuntu once that has happened? [00:52] boolean, networking, internet memory [00:52] hoshi411, can you run in a terminal uname -a and paste the results here please. [00:52] No.... Grub will get blown out the door.... [00:52] hello:) [00:52] AgamemnonZ, if that were true, then opening their drivers would help their business [00:53] jameslord_new greetings [00:53] widewake, to see whats using my internet connection [00:53] widewake: sudo apt-get install iptraf [00:53] Airtreck: like i said, the package was not installed and can not be uninstalled bt either apt-get or dpkg, therefor I want apt-get to give up [00:53] So then I would have to go back into it and reinstall ubuntu, properly? [00:53] SlothScript: i think grub can only be repaired with the ubuntu CD, you need to do manual installation [00:53] What I would suggest is Easy BCD... I think it writes a new Grub right inside of Windows... It is free for commercial use... [00:53] exit [00:53] exit [00:53] widewake: iptraf will show you the networkign usage on your pc [00:53] Do you have a lot of stuff already set up and running in your ubuntu install? [00:53] quit [00:53] jameslord_new: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:53] jameslord, try /part [00:53] No. My ubuntu install is fine to lose. [00:53] widewake: via the ethernet interface [00:53] It's my Windows install that I'm more concerned about.. [00:53] widewake: iptraf is a console command [00:53] boolean, sweet! Its asking me if i am root [00:54] permission denied [00:54] OK.... My suggestion is boot that Windows 7 CD and do a boot repair. You shouldn't nor do you want to re-install anything... [00:54] widewake: you will need sudo access ... most ubuntu machines will prompt you for your username [00:54] Seven_Six_Two: Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-16-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 14 12:48:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [00:54] widewake: 's password [00:55] Okay, and with a bootrepair of Windows 7, that should permit me to be able to boot into Windows? [00:55] Yes... And Grub will get deep sixed... :-) [00:55] For the time being...

[02:10] dave_null: you have to use cat. [02:11] I have natty here. My time never switched automatically. Did the time change automatically in newer versions? [02:11] it gives a blank line even if I don't pipe. I go exactly by the tutorial [02:11] dave_null: yes, echo gives you a blank line regardless of what you pipe to it. [02:11] dave_null: echo will type the first argument on the terminal, nothing else. [02:12] How do I go about recovering the encryption key for my home folder? I'm about to wipe my root drive. root is a separate partition from /home [02:12] dave_null: or actually, all arguments. [02:13] strange, this is exactly what's in Linux Phrasebook. The guy redirects date's output to a file, then does echo < file.txt and according to him it prints it to stdout [02:14] dave_null: well, I'd say it's wrong. [02:14] dave_null: I've been doing unix since 1994 or so, and I would never have expected echo to do anything with stuff piped to it.

I would be impressed if one could transition from one encrypted environment to another without removing encryption first... [02:22] fishee: Remember, I am not an expert.

[03:05] Help* [03:05] if I could get unity to stop sucking up the window controls I'd be 100% [03:05] i dont see how the controls goung to the top left makes it ynuseable [03:05] <[P]3pafvyvas> sacarlson: no, the device has not detected [03:05] k [03:06] dr_willis: things jumping everywhere without any reason makes it unuseable === ubuntu is now known as orionsonofneptun [03:06] orionsonofneptun, write /me is my nick [03:06] example: window controls on left side, move the window near the unity bar... you can no longer access the window controls as the unity bar jumps "over" them [03:07] kallisti5: controlls are normally at top left anyway.. there are tweak guides at the webupd8 blog site [03:07] * orionsonofneptun is my nick [03:07] dr_willis: yeah.. I've got it almost good... the file menu no longer gets absorbed and the window controls are on the right side [03:07] [P]3pafvyvas: well you tried it on two different systems and not responding so take it back [03:08] but when I full screen the window controls jump to the left top into the unity top bar [03:08] how do i get the server to realize my nick belongs to this pc [03:08] ident it orionsonofneptun [03:08] kallisti5: may as well just use lxde then... [03:08] are yo u using xchat [03:08] ? [03:08] ident it orionsonofneptun [03:08] <[P]3pafvyvas> sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/879834/ [03:08] Super_Dog: You still around? [03:08] dr_willis: sigh. this is why I've mostly moved from ubuntu... I can do anything... but I don't want to spend hours tweaking it to be useable [03:09] how does that work [03:09] smuxi webnet [03:09] and where is our channel [03:10] kallisti5: install lubuntu no tweaking then. most of the issues ive seen yiu mention are bugs and fixed in the next release [03:10] ubuntu, I was just joking [03:10] ubuntu, did you register a nick? === beejeebus is now known as beejeebus-afk [03:10] i dont think server k nows my nick goes to this pc dangit [03:12] [P]3pafvyvas: so what activity are we looking at in the dmesg? what was done to cause that? [03:12] dr_willis: example why I'm fed up: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/775346 [03:12] Launchpad bug 775346 in Baltix "close / min / max button location inconsistent with metacity / global app menu settings" [Undecided,New] [03:12] Marking this bug 'invalid' in terms of design because having the window decoration on the right hand side of the window title bar is not a supported config. [03:12] Flannel: Doh! No wonder. I was trying everything. No problem, I'll just code something to do it for me. It would be faster than all this other business. :-) [03:12] orionsonofneptun: /msg nickserv identify orionsonofneptun yourpasswordhere [03:12] orionsonofneptun: and please do be sure to type that correctly [03:12] there ya go. "screw the users" -- ubuntu [03:12] I am trying to repair my Windows 7 install, so that I can boot into Windows as grub is not functioning properly. I created a recovery disc; and ran "start-up recovery" or whatever from the disc on start-up. There was no apparent effect from it. Any suggestions? [03:13] kallisti5: troll somewhere else, switch to gnome or kde [03:13] [P]3pafvyvas: you should remove all other usb devices from the usb bus in test phase so we see mostly only your test device [03:13] slothscripts: Have you tried fixmbr command ? [03:13] got it [03:13] StepNjump: I have not. It's a windows command? [03:14] <[P]3pafvyvas> sacarlson: I discovered that I have to install the FTDI drivers, but how do I? [03:14] slothscripts: yes it is... YOu can't log on to windows right?< [03:14] Correct. But I now have a recovery/installation disc so I can run command prompt through it. [03:15] [P]3pafvyvas: http://nattster.siamdev.net/2010/02/getting-a-ftdi-usb-to-serial-converter-to-work-on-ubuntu-9-10/ [03:15] [P]3pafvyvas: I'm not sure [03:16] StepNjump: Is there more to the command than "fixmbr" that I will require; if it is going to work? [03:16] ok now for the love of god how do i remember the channels im adim of please [03:17] orionsonofneptun: take notes? [03:17] <[P]3pafvyvas> sacarlson: I have to change the kernel apparently [03:17] Yes, run this repair disc from Windows and run the fixmbr command in the pseudo DOS there... That will OVERWRITE the grub in the MBR but then your ubuntu will no longer boot up from Grub as grub in the MBR will be gone so you will have to go in ubuntu using a pendrive and then fix your grub from there.. There is a command but I forget what it is.. something like grub-update or something along those [03:17] lines [03:17] how do i highlite a message to webnet [03:17] im takin notes now son [03:18] Okay, but that command should permit me to run windows again? [03:18] and i keep writing the dang notes wrong [03:18] orionsonofneptun: im not clear on how this is related to ubuntu support [03:18] <[deXter]> Hi all, are there any downsides to installing the mainline kernels from Precise, in Natty? [03:18] slothscripts: Fixmbr should reinitailize your boot sector to Windows default... then you will be able to boot into your win partition. [03:18] im just trying to connect with web net then get out sorry [03:18] Sounds awesome! Thank you so much! If I'm not back within a while it means it worked and you have saved me! :) [03:19] Or try to do grub-update or update-grub from ubuntu first to see if it will detect your windows partition first [03:19] I've tried prior. [03:19] No luck :( [03:19] i cant remember our channels but i remember i can find him here [03:19] [deXter]: id be impressed if it worked. to he honest with you. [03:19] Thank you very much for your help! [03:19] <[deXter]> dr_willis, I've done it before without any issues, but I just want to know if I was just plain lucky or are there any real drawbacks to this? [03:19] not fixmbr yet right slothscripts [03:20] orionsonofneptun: you can do a /whois nickname [03:20] <[[thufir]]> first dar command (stolen from dargui): /usr/bin/dar -c "/home/thufir/Desktop/videos_201203112007" -B "/tmp/dargui-root//dargui.batch.3" -v -X "videos_20120311200.*.dar" does this seem correct? I want to add -p so that it only creates one slice at a time,however. plus, it seems to peg the cpu and cause overheating. [03:20] If it's important for you to log in your win, try the fixmbr, it's your best bet [03:20] It's always worked for me slothscripts [03:20] That's what is most important right now; to log into it without having to reinstall the operating system; I will try it now. [03:21] Thank you :) [03:22] Hi all [03:23] hello [03:23] slothscripts: Try to backup your ubuntu data first in case you might have to reinstall your ubuntu after running fixmbr cuz you will not be able to go back to ubuntu after that unless you use a pendrive and you are familiar with the CLI to cd into the proper linux partition and mount it. Its simple but if you dont know how, would be easier for you to back up your ubuntu home folder first and reinstall [03:23] in the right partition from windows again. but there is more than one way to skin the cat. good luck [03:25] StepNjump: reinstall *buntu after fixmbr? you gotta be kidding.. [03:26] StepNjump: the only thing that needs to be reinstalled in that case is the Grub [03:26] <[P]3pafvyvas> sacarlson: I put the kernel and now I find in the directory / dev/ttyUSB0 [03:26] [P]3pafvyvas: cool [03:26] what that mean? [03:28] Amgo: what does what mean? [03:29] ok -> I have screwwed up. I had Win 8 installed on one partition and had Ubuntu installed in the other. Whenever I logged in to the PC, I used to get the default ubuntu bootloader screen in purple (GRUB or LILO?). That used to have Windows enumerated as Windows recovery console (/sdaX) which I used to click to go on to Win8. Fast forward to today. I grew tired of Win8 and deleted the whole partition and put Wn XP on it. Now m,y comp doesn [03:29] 't boot up at all?.. Because the Linux MBR/bootloader doesn't know the start-up point? [03:29] <[P]3pafvyvas> sacarlson: we made a step forward, now almost. [03:29] ubuntu: sounds like you'll need to start by botting off of a live USB [03:29] I'm typing this whilst on the LiveCD now. [03:30] ubuntu: great [03:30] ubuntu: Live and learn muchacho... [03:30] hydrox24_, -> so how do I point the bootloader? [03:30] ubuntu: do you know which partition is you boot partition? [03:30] hydrox24_, for the ubuntu install? [03:30] no, overall. There should be a partition with a boot flag [03:30] ubuntu what live cd? [03:30] guess so the win 8 is stop the ubuntu to run [03:31] rbrooks, 11.10 [03:31] hydrox24_, -> how do I know that? [03:31] ubuntu: In future, run betas in Virtual Box or VMware... [03:31] Super_Dog, Well I was a wannabe nerd [03:32] you have to mount /boot so grub2 installer can work for your system [03:32] what's the lesser of two evils… running dotdeb stuff with debian or running ubuntu server [03:32] then run grub2 install, then create config [03:32] (so one gets newer packages) [03:32] then reboot should work [03:32] ubuntu: ubuntu just looking for the right tool now [03:33] blendedbychris: whatcha tryin' to do exactly? [03:33] do you know what your /boot is? [03:34] ubuntu: run the "sudo fdisk -l" command [03:34] i've set up a cron job through ssh and using crontab -e -- and it doesn't appear to run - is there an issue with the user? I have set up the script (python) as access all areas [03:34] it doesn't run [03:34] ubuntu: but just to confirm, your issue is that you can't even get a grub menu? [03:34] Super_Dog: just come up with a nginx/php server [03:34] Grub 2 is pretty smart... [03:34] my problem is php-fpm isn't offered in long term support-esque distros [03:35] so you end up backporting stuff [03:35] no? [03:35] what the meaning of could not update ICEauthority file? [03:35] ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [03:35] fast php? [03:35] ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [03:35] Super_Dog: I wouldn't assume that he has grub2 installed, although I admit that it is indeed probable [03:36] Super_Dog: also, keep in mind that our job is to help as much as is possible without directing to links. [03:36] ubuntu: download the boot-repair disc here.... Looks pretty easy.... === william is now known as Guest6706 [03:36] hydrox24_, OK - i'M NOT SURE I follow : First issue was : If I installed win8 first and THEN ubuntu, how did Ubuntu's bootloader become the more prominent one? [03:36] does someone have a ralink rt73 USB device in here? [03:37] win8 will overwrite grub2 must be installed first usually [03:37] Ubuntu replaces the MBR with a GRUB install. Grub knows all.... Actually GRUB is the absolute best way to set up multi-boot machines now... [03:37] I prefer loading Windows, then GRUB... [03:37] ^^ [03:38] If Windows 7 or 8 ever gets hosed, use Startup Repair. I would recommend making images and system recovery CD's for any critical windows platforms... [03:38] why wouldnt fast php be lts? wierd... [03:38] Use CloneZilla and big external hard drives for any Linux distro you have.... [03:38] Super_Dog, Thats what I did . Windows , then ubuntu - so how did GRUB superecede? [03:38] ubuntu: ubuntu installed grub on the boot partition. Can you tell us the Exact problem you're having? [03:38] when I try to loginto administrator account suing which the system was installed I get this message "Could not update ICE authority file" [03:39] how do I install packages I normally see from synaptic from the command line? [03:39] i'm trying to setup a vnc server but can't manage to connect [03:39] ubuntu: ubuntu isntalled OVER windows bootloader (I think that's waht you're talking baout) [03:39] never been able to do that [03:39] hydrox24_, Exact pblm : Can't boot into Windows [03:39] you put xp on thats why it overwrote mbr [03:40] rhin0, apt-get install packagename [03:40] I can't do like sudo apt-get install html5lib (when I can see html5lib in synaptic) [03:40] now just re-install grub2 nbd [03:40] Grub takes over the boot loader at the master boot record level.... [03:40] just reinstall grub and you will be fine [03:40] E: Couldn't find package html5lib [03:40] ubuntu: but you ARE able to boot into other partitions? [03:40] ubuntu: try this. Looks like the cure for your ills in one tight CD package: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/ [03:40] can get it from the server ie. gui through synaptic [03:40] nice [03:40] will tht do it automatically? [03:41] Absolutely... I have double/triple/quad boot setups multiplying like bunnies around here.... [03:41] Super_Dog: please stop suggeting things, you are putting himm through more pain than is needed [03:41] ahaha cool [03:41] Super_Dog: he [03:41] I can't get synaptic packages using sudo apt-get install ... I know that [03:41] hydrox24_, :) [03:41] Super_Dog: he's already in a live-CD env ready to go [03:41] rbrooks, I think what you suggested must work - reinstall GRUB? [03:41] ubuntu: so can you can't boot into windows, but can you boot into ubuntu? [03:41] 1st mount /boot paartition [03:41] hydrox24_, no i cant [03:42] hydrox24_, can't boot into eithert [03:42] ok, so I would go with reinstalling grub [03:42] mkdir /mnt/whatever then mount your /boot partition [03:42] ubuntu: so run the "fdisk -l" (as root) [03:42] hydrox24_, Allrite [03:42] concur... [03:42] hydrox24_, rbrooks, but this can be done off the liveCD? [03:42] command, then that should identify the boot partition [03:42] ubuntu: yup, just fine === Guest6706 is now known as nightrid3r [03:42] when I try to log into administrator account I get this message "Could not update ICE authority file" and failing to login.HELP please [03:42] it should but idk i use other distro [03:42] whats the way to enable remote desktop from the command line (anyone) (xubuntu) [03:42] hydrox24_, Thanks a lot. Let me try it right off. [03:43] i am coming back now lol [03:43] For beginners, I think the boot - repair disc is much friendlier... [03:43] And thamks a lot Super_Dog, your suggestions were commendable too [03:43] ok ok is no problem will do it later [03:43] i'm trying to setup a vnc server but can't manage to connect to it [03:43] ubuntu: BTW, in Windows, I have had great success with EasyBCD. Free for non-commercial users... [03:44] be careful, grub != grub2 [03:44] Super_Dog: I would agree, but ubuntu is already in his ubuntu liveCD [03:44] you will need to install grub2 [03:44] Ubuntu has one of most up-to-date grub2 installers i'm aware of... [03:44] google "reinstall grub2" [03:44] pepee: you're getting ahead of yourself, we don't even know what he currently has installed as his bootloader [03:45] no he put xp on after everything else [03:45] fdisk -l --> http://pastebin.com/h2t3mxEf [03:45] really should backup the works forst [03:45] forst/first [03:45] rather s///g [03:45] *%s [03:46] ubuntu: I concur with rbrooks and I think you should backup first, if you don't want to then don't hold us responsible for issues [03:46] hydrox24_, I'm ok buddy -> Anyway there's nothing to lose here, this is a new system build [03:46] ubuntu: great, what I like to hear! [03:47] hydrox24_, :P [03:47] ubuntu: so sda1 is your boot partition [03:47] nice win95 part :) [03:47] hydrox24_, Ah - I see what it is -> denoted by the * ? [03:47] ubuntu: websearch for: omgubuntu sticking it to grub awesome how to there [03:47] no sorry, that's not true. FAIL -.- [03:48] hydrox24_, I belive the /dev/sda1 -> is some sort of Windows recovery partition [03:48] ubuntu: Yes. [03:48] what do others on the channel think? [03:48] ubuntu: looks like you NTFS'd your boot partition.... [03:48] hydrox24_, Stupid Win8 did that without asking me if I would want to have one [03:48] All Win7 and Win8 installs do that.... [03:49] ubuntu: that's windows for you, just because most users won't notice of course [03:49] As I said, using Grub / ubuntu install after windows install is my preferred method... Ghost and CloneZilla images also highly recommended for production platforms... :-p [03:49] ubuntu: can you run "grub-install -v" please? [03:50] hydrox24_, as su? [03:50] + [03:50] hi, I cannot access my main account for some reason, I type in the pw and a blank screen appears......>>? [03:50] I believe you will have to sudo your grub command, yes... [03:50] ubuntu: yes, alhtough almost all these commands will be as root [03:51] Pickleface: what sort og blank screen? [03:51] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install -v [03:51] grub-install (GRUB) 1.99-12ubuntu5 [03:51] hydrox24_: just my backround.. [03:51] Hi,all. my hard disk partition type is GUID , I can't install grub using live usb or livecd [03:51] ubuntu: Technically that's Grub 2.... (Dont' freak about the 1.999999 stuff...) [03:51] Pickleface: did you try boot recovery mode and maybe create a new user account and try login to that? [03:51] Super_Dog, hah ok [03:52] anyone has met this problem [03:52] sacarlson: well I can go on the guest account, im on it now.... [03:53] ubuntu: what version of ubuntu is installed? [03:53] So, I have grub 2 installed -> Can I just point to the drive containing the WinXP install as the boot parttiotn? [03:53] hydrox24_, 11.10 [03:53] Pickleface: oh ok so maybe make a new admin account then. it must be a config setting that can be cleared but you might loose somthing you want [03:53] Pickleface: are you able to login to your normal account using a different WM? (under the cog meny once you click on your username) [03:54] hydrox24_: I dont know what a WM is or a cog meny is :P [03:54] sorry, im new...... [03:54] sacarlson: i'm trying.... [03:55] ubuntu: You got another system installed to pop IRC on? You're going to need to reboot here soon at some time... [03:55] Super_Dog, Yep, I got my laptop [03:55] Pickleface: what are you trying? makeing a new admin? you would still have to boot into recovery to get a sudo user and maybe modify /etc/sudoer to temp add your guest to be admin until you fix stuf [03:56] You might want to grab that puppy and login to #ubuntu on Freenode on that thing... [03:56] ok. Let me come in on that [03:56] Anybody know offhand what the service is to restart openssh? isnt it just sudo service openssh restart? [03:56] ubuntu: OK, run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" [03:56] ubuntu: that should do the trick [03:57] ubuntu: STOP [03:57] ubuntu: wait a second [03:57] hydrox24_, hmm - I wouldn't want to run terminal commands just like that - unless I know what it does [03:57] Pickleface: it may be a good idea to keep another sudo account that you don't modify so that if this happens again you will have the power to easy fix it [03:57] ubuntu: you sure you had a running install of WinXP.... don't remember... don't point to winxp partition if you're not sure... point to the working os. [03:57] hydrox24_, ah ok [03:58] Super_Dog, point noted, maybe I'll just point to the Linux partiton then? [03:58] hey you should mount /boot you do that? [03:58] ubuntu: OK so, run: "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt" [03:58] roasted: I thought openssh was just a lib, there are many things tied to it, maybe apache2? [03:58] ubuntu: just to clarify, that should be your ubuntu root partition [03:58] rbrooks, Explanation of what that does? [03:59] do what hydrox24_ said that is correc [03:59] hydrox24_, Yeah I got that - but lets see what rbrooks chimes in with [03:59] rbrooks, all righty then [03:59] okay, so I installed bumblebee, and now my graphics resolution is set to extremely low... would like some help getting it back up there please [04:00] hydrox24_, Done [04:00] ubuntu: once you've run that and it has worked (you can check by listing /mnt to see if your files are there) "ls /mnt" [04:00] #grub2-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda #DO NOT TYPE THIS [04:00] has it worked?? [04:00] that should install grub2 what u think? [04:00] hydrox24_, yep it did [04:00] sacarlson: I'm just trying to reboot the service... I Got it though, its still an /etc/init.d command [04:00] rbrooks: I think that that is right, but if grub2-install isn't availbale grub-install is fine [04:00] roasted: there are many services under openssh, like sshd, apache2 .... [04:01] ok yes... [04:01] #grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda #DO NOT TYPE THIS [04:01] hydrox24_, rbrooksguys - so what next ? [04:01] ubuntu: [04:01] sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [04:01] sacarlson: I thought there was one way to just reboot the entire ssh system... [04:01] ubuntu: and that should be it! [04:01] hydrox24_, shouldnt it be /dev/sda6? [04:01] roasted: oh you want to restart sshd server? [04:02] ubuntu: no.... that would be bad... [04:02] sacarlson: yes [04:02] ubuntu: grub will autodetect the boot partition, you're just pointing it to the right disk [04:02] hydrox24_, hmm sometimes this overwhelms me -> and I'm a CS major :( [04:02] #grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg #this might not work... [04:02] ubuntu: just run the command I sent you, if you want it explained then feel free to ask [04:02] hydrox24_, rbrooks all-rite then [04:03] that just generates a config so put it anywhere [04:03] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [04:03] Installation finished. No error reported. [04:03] rbrooks: what are you doing??? [04:03] roasted: might try sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart ; or sudo restart ssh [04:03] well i think the grub2 dir [04:03] hydrox24_, Looks fine [04:03] rbrooks: I don't think that jazz is needed.... is it? [04:04] the config yes [04:04] that will aotodetect and create config [04:04] rbrooks, hmm - and where is this grub2 config file created [04:04] ? [04:04] rbrooks: shouldnt we just run the grub-install? [04:04] ubuntu: have you run that grub-install command yet? [04:05] no the grub bin is on the disk now make the config [04:05] hydrox24_, Yep - I even pasted the 1-line O/P [04:05] #grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg #this might not work... [04:05] backup any other config thats in there [04:06] anyone know what to check in ubuntu 11.10 to find out why wifi card dont work [04:06] rbrooks: should ubuntu reboot before trying that? [04:06] orionsonofneptun: try "additional-drivers" under system settings [04:06] no then he will need to start over and make config anyway [04:06] orionsonofneptun: see if there is a proprietary driver for your card there [04:06] orionsonofneptun, First off I'd check ifconfig and last few mesgs in dmesg [04:06] rbrooks: OK thats fine [04:07] it is pretty safe [04:07] althought i see your point he could reboot [04:07] wont see any updated kernels [04:07] or windows [04:07] hydrox24_, rbrooks, ok - whats this thing I need to do now? I've not done anything yet [04:08] it says wireless network broadcom bcm4318 airforce one 54g 802.11g device not ready firmware missing [04:08] #grub-mkconfig -o /tmp/grub.cfg #this might not work... [04:08] rbrooks, Let me try that then [04:08] inspect the file it generates and compare it to your conf [04:08] ok [04:08] it says not to edit but its fine [04:08] where is system settings [04:09] no-one else using bumblebee?

[04:15] what do i make of that [04:15] http://ajaxplorer.info/ [04:15] hydrox24_: Alright then. Thank you. [04:16] I can login as Administrator.Got this message "Could not update ICEauthoprity file" [04:16] the grub-mkconfig woorks off this live cd, i will test Ubuntu now that config should have generated [04:16] Does anybody here know about Ubuntu Studio and iPod support? [04:17] have live cd loading off grub2 :D [04:17] !ipod [04:17] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [04:17] xubuntu [04:17] willijs3__: Even normal ubuntu has good iPod support now [04:17] Hey everyone! I have a question about crontab again. Man page isn't really answering it. In this example --> 0,30 16 1-7 * * test $(date +u) -eq 7 && /bin/sample <--- What is the +u and the q following the -e doing? [04:18] +u is an option to the date command [04:18] what's it mean when i do dpkg --get-selections and it says deinstall ? [04:18] Yes, but I'm not seeing what the +u option is actually adjusting. [04:18] dr_willis, any idea what will work for me then with ntfs? [04:18] -eq is a bash test statement [04:19] Yeah, it's just not recognizing my ipod when I plug it in. It was fine when I was using normal ubuntu, but i recently switched to studio. [04:19] Barridus: use windows. there are some windows live cds out u belive to fix things [04:20] Ubuntunub: look at the -u option in the manpage for "date" [04:20] dr_willis, something like fsck won't be of use? [04:20] if there are any ntfs repair tools out the ntfs3g hompage may mention them [04:21] hydrox24_, rbrooks, Yay - it worked! [04:21] Barridus: never nituced a fsvk.ntfs command [04:21] Barridus: fsck is not for ntfs unfortunately [04:21] fact: you can run grub2-mkconfig off fc16 live cd w/o chroot [04:21] previous_ubuntu_: great, glad it worked [04:21] ok cool [04:21] ok well thanks for the responses anyways [04:22] if i get dpkg: warning: while removing sendmail-bin, directory '/var/run/sendmail' not empty so not removed. [04:22] where to find firmware for wifi card [04:22] hydrox24_, rbrooks -> I got the grub screen on bootup - however, I have this pblm now . It shows the windows error recovery screen option (last one) - > however nothing happens on choosing it. I'm guessing it doesn't know abt Win XP -> as it was only aware of Win 8 at that point [04:22] previous_ubuntu_, glad to hear it now i woder how the config file will look compared to one on system... also now check /etc/default/grub [04:22] How do I make GRUB2 aware of my Win XP installation, now? [04:23] willijs3__: there is ifuse, it treats the ipod as a normal usb drive, not sure if you can access stuff on it as you expect. Apple is always weird, causes a tonne of issues. best avoided imho [04:23] this is simple [04:23] previous_ubuntu_: run: sudo update-grub should do it [04:23] run grub-mkconfig command it will all be sorted [04:23] ActionParsnip, rbrooks, 2 diss commands :P [04:23] *diff [04:23] is that grub legacy? [04:24] ActionParsnip, he is using grub2 [04:24] rbrooks: yes it will work [04:25] ok nice [04:25] a very good morning to all of you [04:25] rbrooks, Anyway - I went with your solution and it remade the cfg file [04:25] ActionParsnip: I'll have to try that. I believe i can do what i need if it's just a backdoor into the device [04:25] i see update-grub2 also [04:25] so if alls well, it should be fine on the reboot? [04:26] Hi [04:26] https://gist.github.com/1731123 [04:26] mayday! [04:26] Opinions? [04:26] update-grub is nice it probably runs same thing in a (hopefully) sane way [04:26] ubuntu rocks [04:26] rbrooks, ActionParsnip, Let me do a reboot and report back!

[04:31] it happens with gnome only not with kde [04:32] Pickleface: I missed the method you used to create a new account [04:33] ActionParsnip, [04:33] sacarlson: went to user accounts on the guest account, gave my root pw and it let me make a new one, then I deleted my old admin account, a few minutes later I get a error saying both have failed [04:33] ActionParsnip, this is the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/879881/ [04:34] please check it [04:34] then I reboot, see my main account gone, new one there , I did not set a pw for the new one, and its asking for one, so right now im back on the guest account....... [04:34] Pickleface: I don't think I would have deleted the account I would have just create a 2nd admin, but I guess it's too late now [04:34] hi, where is the default system PATH set? it seems nothing is set in /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc? [04:35] sacarlson: yeah lol, what should I do now though?...... [04:35] Pickleface: I take it you now deleted the only working admin account so you will have to create another by boot into recovery [04:36] dontput: i've only use samba with locally defined users like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/879882/ [04:36] xrfang: just run "echo $PATH" [04:36] sacarlson: uh, can you tell me how to do that ? [04:36] xrfang: default is set in /etc/environment [04:36] Pickleface: at what point? boot into recovery? [04:37] hydrox24_, I know that... what I want is to find out where it is set, and I want to add another path to the list, [04:37] - [04:37] I would prefer to make it system wide, not using ~/.profile etc. [04:37] sacarlson: how do I boot into recovery ? then make a new account from there ? [04:37] xrfang: you can add to the path by adding to ~/.bashrc something like: export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/folder [04:37] ActionParsnip, actualy my Share is now ok, but just the user with their home profile access. Im stuck to that part [04:38] ActionParsnip, as I said, would like to make it system wide... [04:38] Pickleface: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [04:38] :) [04:38] xrfang: you have to edit your ~/.bashrc file and add an export command to the end of the file [04:38] xrfang: as I said, the default is set in /etc/environment [04:38] hydrox24_: bashrc is only for that user, xrfang want's it system wide [04:38] export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/scripts/folder/ [04:38] sacarlson: okay then what? [04:39] grep files in etc to find PATH. :) [04:39] dr_willis: nice [04:39] ActionParsnip: you want to edit /etc/bashrc then [04:40] !ppa [04:40] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[05:11] hi all, i have an issue that hyst happened, my pc froze while i was doing stuff and when i tried to reboot, i get this error message, error: disc full, then has prompt grub return abd this is with ubuntu 11.04 thanks [05:12] grayhatpython, you want a full install or a custom ISO load? [05:12] grayhatpython remastersys to create a custom ubuntu [05:12] hello where can i get the *gnome specification*? such as the purpose of "/usr/share/applications", or where the theme configuration file locate ? [05:12] ye_ from terminal "locate theme" or "whereis theme" [05:13] Fyodorovna custom iso i want to use it only from my usb no more installation on host computer. [05:13] I just installed ubuntu [05:13] yesterday. When I plug in external usb hard drive, my dmesg prints [05:13] out "sense urb submission failure" continuously, whether the drive is attached or not; [05:13] however, if I plug in my thumb drive before this error occurs, it works fine. What can I do to [05:13] fix this? [05:13] JelloPop: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:13] FloodBot srry [05:14] CacheMoney: yeah thats just a warning, you can suppress it by running: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf [05:14] grayhatpython: maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/remastersys.html [05:14] grayhatpython, how big is the flash drive? [05:14] 4GB [05:14] not enough? [05:16] grayhatpython: that's way more than enough [05:16] grayhatpython, so your limited to a iso loaded that can have a persistent, but that persistent will fill up after awhile and is not easily cleaned, really not cleanable for most. [05:16] CFHowlett: OK , I just wonder if there are documentations that introduce the gnome configuration file? [05:17] ye_ sorry, but IDK ... I'm sure there is somewhere. Perhaps someone else knows? [05:17] grayhatpython, you would be better with a full install say like a 8 gig usb that will run like a HD although a little slower. Your not looking for a install usb right? [05:17] Ah, fixed my problem. Adapters were down. `ifconfig -a` helped me find their adapter identifiers >:} [05:17] i totally need help with this issue. was doing some things on firefox and then it froze, could move my mouse but couldn't click on anything, this happened once before, but this issue is different, did a manual restart on my pc and i get at the read disc part of the boot up it says disc full then has a prompt with grub return. can anyone help me please? [05:18] CFHowlett: that's Ok [05:18] Fyodorovna, ok i just want all scientific software to be installed in my usb ubuntu and use it anywhere. though persistent is required. [05:18] GhostWolf boot into recovery and run the following to clean out old packages: sudo apt-get clean [05:18] CFHowlett, i can't boot into that part of ubuntu [05:19] GhostWolf reboot won't let you into recovery mode? [05:19] i can boot into my windows hdd fine but i can't select or get to choose the recvery section [05:19] GhostWolf would this be a wubi installation by any chance? [05:19] ActionParsnip: Wow. Thanks for all the help tonight [05:19] grayhatpython, did you miss waht I said about the persistent. You can actually make a as large as you want persistent partition, depends on the usb. I think what your missing is the knoledge of the limitations of a usb loaded with other then a full install. [05:20] s/what/knowledge [05:20] Fyodorovna: no need of install usb just a usb itself like hdd. [05:20] I have a question. How do I require a password to login with 11.10? [05:20] Veritas242 system>administration>login screen [05:21] CFHowlett, i don't get that far into the boot of my computer. i get to the 2nd page of the boot section for the mobo. like first page shows what hard drives are connected and then second page shows bunch of other info. it stops at that page [05:21] grayhatpython, then you would do a full install make sure the usb is big enough, you would install with any cd, even a custom one likr e remastersys burn. === webnet is now known as boten_anna [05:21] GhostWolf is this a wubi installation? [05:21] I've read that elsewhere, but being new to Ubuntu I don't know how to get there [05:21] Fyodorovna ok i don't want persistent i will copy data to some other usb key [05:22] CFHowlett, nope its a full install of 11.o4 haven't been having any issues since i had to reinstall 11.04 cause 11.10 has bugs in java [05:22] Veritas242 that's the sequence in 10.04 - might be different for you... [05:22] grayhatpython, a full ibnstall does not a have a persistent it has the regular OS and runs a s such, and you can offload to another. === boten_anna is now known as webnet [05:23] s/install/as [05:23] Fyodorovna ok so how about installing my custom apps in that usb having ubuntu? using remsatersys? [05:23] CFHowlett, I'm running 11.10. Everything I've read so far suggests it's setup different. [05:24] CacheMoney: np man :0 [05:24] grayhatpython, a full install you would just install them. Remastersys is for making a ISO to burn of a installed OS. [05:24] Veritas242, as i installed 11.10 you had the option of doing that in the installation of 11.10. [05:25] GhostWolf, I'm not sure how I changed it, but is it possible to change it back without reinstalling? [05:25] grayhatpython, here is a remastersys link. http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ [05:25] Veritas242, don't know but im googling it see where to go. so are you saying you don't want a password when you reboot or restart your pc? [05:26] Fyodorovna: so it' just a mirror image of ubuntu and it's applications installed in my desktop to usb key? [05:26] Is there a flag for loading up experimental dri? Like LD_LIBRARY_PATH does for loading not install libraries? [05:26] GhostWolf, when I boot, instead of asking for a password I see the login button on my account, like the one on the guest account. [05:27] I want that password there to make it more secure [05:27] grayhatpython, basically, but it has limitations in data amount, you would have to look into [05:27] Veritas242, ok its not really more secure unless you have people snipping on your computer [05:27] ripps: modprobe ? [05:28] sacarlson: that's for loading kernel modules, not x11 drivers [05:28] hey I'm trying to set up ssh for my ubuntu server but I'm having issues with transferring the key from my server to my laptop. Im using ubuntu server edition 10.04 and a macbook pro as the client [05:28] grayhatpython, limitations as far as it has to fit on a disc of some sort even a dvd, not sure of all the uses. [05:28] GhostWolf, So, even if someone logs in they'll still need the password to make changes- so it's just as secure? [05:28] but im looking it up for you Veritas242 i have had issues with system settings and all in 11.10 i don't like it much [05:28] Fyodorovna: how about making a live cd of ubuntu with custom application and converting it into live usb? [05:29] grayhatpython, that is what it does. [05:29] GhostWolf, thanks for the help. [05:29] Veritas242, yes if someone needs to install or remove a program or update files they need your password [05:29] guys, I hit the windows button or something and now my screen bobbles around as I move the mouse [05:29] jayjay: why are you transfering keys [05:29] how do I turn this off... whatever it is [05:29] grayhatpython, it makes a bootable cd for installing. [05:29] grayhatpython, or dvd. [05:29] jayjay: use ssh-copy-id [05:30] Fyodorovna: custom application in the sense any applications like audacity, stellarium? [05:30] that is what I'm using [05:30] ripps: funny I do see my graphic card driver in kernel also. is that not an X11 driver? [05:30] ssh-copy-id user@hostname/ip [05:30] i get connection timed out [05:30] hang on maybe that only works ubuntu to ubuntu [05:30] ask around [05:30] wait hostname/ip? [05:30] so 2 different ups? [05:30] hostname or ip [05:31] ahh [05:31] interchangeable [05:31] grayhatpython, probably. You could just clone a install if you had the partition in a size that will fit on the usb, you can do it a number of ways really. [05:31] hostname of the server and I'm doing this from the client right? [05:31] sacarlson: they are two seperate things, one is an interface for the X server, the other for the Kernel hardware. Yes, the X11 driver interfaces the kernel module, but they are seperate things [05:31] yes to ssh into the server [05:31] kk il try it again [05:31] maybe shore wall is messing it up? [05:31] i always use ip address just to be certain [05:31] there will be firewall issues === wad_ is now known as wad [05:32] k [05:32] Fyodorovna: forget about cloning. what if i want to install later on to that usb for an app that is in internet? [05:32] why does the google-play up not upload what i tell it to upload? [05:32] hmh === ubuntu is now known as orionsonofneptun [05:32] should i remove shore wall and then try it? [05:32] i mean should i remove shore wall or can i just disable it [05:32] Veritas242, in the system settings, do you see User Accounts? [05:33] Yes [05:33] k [05:34] grayhatpython, it is a full install, what do you think. :) [05:34] did you go there to add a password to your account Veritas242/ [05:34] :( [05:34] no one? [05:35] Ghostwolf, yes I did. [05:35] and did it work when you reboot to login? [05:35] i am going to ubuntu server === geek is now known as Guest57741 [05:35] good bye [05:35] Fyodorovna: : ok i think i didn't explain it properly. I was using Slax which can add modules, like installing apps as a modules. does ubuntu has this feature? [05:36] k [05:36] GhostWolf, it changes but doesn't ask for it at the login screen. It has a login button where I used to enter the password. [05:36] ok. should be another section, can you go into your dash and type passwords and keys and you will get that icon and open it up [05:37] Ok [05:37] CFHowlett, any issue about my problem at all? as you last asked if its a wubi installation. [05:37] grayhatpython: slax is a bit specilized in some ways. ubuntu uses the apt packageing ststem [05:38] how can i get a list of cron jobs? [05:38] ok thanks [05:38] let me know when you have that app up [05:38] GhostWolf if you're not even completing the boot process, you got something else happening. error msg's would give a hint [05:38] It's up [05:38] grayhatpython, not sure how slack loads modules. === Comradephate is now known as Comradephate|afk [05:39] CFHowlett, iagree, but its a fairly new hdd that i just gotten few months ago, this was a replacement, only error it gives me saying disc is full. but its a 500gb hdd [05:39] grayhatpython, I have used slax but never longterm so I'm not familiar. === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [05:39] GhostWolf 100% ubuntu installed or dual boot? [05:40] Veritas242, ok next says find the passwords default entry [05:40] CFHowlett, ubuntu is 100% on its own hdd. windows is isntalled on another hdd [05:41] Fyodorovna: ok Last doubt, whenever i try to install any app using source it get some error saying some supporting package missing. so i tried to get that package source and it said to get some other! so i need to keep on going behind it. How to install app from source? i did ./configure, make , make install. I love to install from source not by apt get install method. please help me example. [05:41] GhostWolf, it's there but there is no dropdown menu. There's another one called "passwords: login" with a dropdown menu containing several passwords. [05:42] Veritas242, then after that it says open the context menu for that entry and it says you do that by using the right mouse button [05:42] grayhatpython, I never install from source. [05:42] hey i have a questions [05:42] Veritas242, i am just reading what it says on a site i have no clue other than what im seeing [05:42] *reading not seeing [05:43] Ghostwolf, can you send me the link? [05:43] GhostWolf safer that I vote myself out of this one. I've never done a multi-drive system. Please ask in the channel. [05:43] loginix ask away [05:43] how do i create usb boot in windows [05:43] Veritas242, http://askubuntu.com/questions/68761/keyring-password-unity-in-11-10 [05:43] for ubuntu [05:43] Thanks [05:43] loginix, unetbootin [05:43] ok cool [05:43] !unetbootin | loginix [05:43] loginix: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:43] grayhatpython: if the app is in rhe repos. you can use apts build-dep option to pull in all needed deps. ro compile it [05:43] CFHowlett, i never had an issue til now. so i don't think its a drive issue. but i'll try again. i need to go anyways [05:43] good luck Veritas242 [05:43] thank you guys [05:44] i am going to do that now [05:44] loginix: format with fat , get the iso, use unetbbotin to play it to the stick [05:44] ok i added app repo to source list so can i still compile it to deb package? [05:44] hello friends, can someone help me please [05:44] !ask [05:44] 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 [05:45] oh yeah i formated with NTFS so i will change that now [05:45] i installed compiz and compiz settings manager but still dont work [05:45] wobble windows won't work [05:46] <[[thufir]]> Hmm. I am using dar and writing the slices to optical disc. I delete the slices as I go. yet have now *completly* run out of hdd (26M free). why is the hdd filling up if I'm deleting the slices? trash is empty. [05:46] [[thufir]]: have you deleted old kernels? [05:46] Guest57741: do you have 3D accelleration configured? [05:47] <[[thufir]]> is it possible to see ahead of time how many slices dar will create? or you just have to manually calculate that? [05:48] is this for everything? sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:48] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: not yet. lol. guess I will now. [05:48] or am i missing something [05:48] Guest57741: if you don't have 3D accelleration enabled in the video card, it won't make any difference what you do in ccsm [05:49] <[[thufir]]> actually, I'm still able to create new slices, and so long as that works I guess it's "ok" in the short term. odd, though. [05:49] how do i enable 3d [05:50] Guest57741: what video chip do you use? [05:50] <[[thufir]]> Guest57741: GIYF. I say that in friendly way. I often ask for help, but I thry to try a cursory search first. [05:50] oh my not sure im new [05:51] Guest57741: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [05:51] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [05:52] Guest57741: and the output of: lsb_release -sc [05:53] ActionParsnip: oneiric [05:53] Guest57741: you may need an xorg.conf file, sounds like your screen isn't playing nice [05:53] Guest57741: does the system have a make and model? [05:54] ActionParsnip: does inxi -g work in ubuntu?? [05:54] Guest57741 I've got the same chip. Full on video effects are more trouble than they're worth IMO [05:54] ops inxi -G [05:54] JelloPop: never heard of it, sorry [05:54] i have compaq presario CQ56 219 [05:54] older laptop [05:54] anyone know of open source timeline software? preferably I'd be able to hand-edit it, as well as fill it with generated data that I create with my own code [05:54] only given me trouble in xubuntu [05:56] ActionParsnip: Using LInux Mint never heard of it today can u experiment and see if this command works in ubuntu seeing there is changes bewteen distro's ... Which means that Linux Mint is defentliy changing the unbuntu code [05:56] Guest57741: same driverbase, thats why [05:56] JelloPop: mint isn't supported here === mobius is now known as mobius22 [05:56] greetings #ubuntu [05:57] nice i booted from usb thank you guys [05:57] greetings [05:57] ActionParsnip: not the idea I just want to see if there is a dividing line bewteen the distros introduced this would be the first time I have seen a change [05:57] exitexit [05:58] I tried to install a program called 'netams' and it seems to have broken my package manager. Of course now nothing can be installed and the netams install process just hangs forever at the configuration portion of its install process [05:58] is there a way to purge pending installs from the terminal? [05:58] rather is there a way to purge hung installs [05:59] kill the process mobius22 [05:59] Hi. I'm using the alternate install cd to do a base system install. What do I put in for a mirror to download packages from though? I chose "ftp" [05:59] Guest57741: seems the compaq uses an AMD chip... [05:59] would that be the PID of the software manager? because if that's what you mean that did not work [05:59] ps -ef | less <- find it in that [05:59] ok [06:00] what a bummer.... [06:00] ok [06:00] ClientAlive: I suppose it expects you to put in a real mirror instead. Try "us.archive.ubuntu.com" [06:00] im so new, ty for helping [06:00] on ubuntu it works fine but xubuntu not working [06:01] Guest57741: so is it the compaq you are having issue with or is that what you are typing on now (different system) [06:02] theadmin: ok, I'll try that. I would expect it to be something like "ftp://ftp..." but not sure how far the path is supposed to be carried out. [06:02] I'll try that though. [06:02] this compaq im on now [06:02] i have dual boot [06:03] ubuntu and xubuntu [06:03] all linux installs should come with acronis pre installed lol [06:03] * rhin0 started using xubuntu on server ubuntu for luxury client [06:04] what does acronis do? [06:04] so then , apparently there is not in fact a way to kill a hung install in DPKG? [06:04] it images your hard disk [06:04] ah [06:04] in anticipation of everything breaking when you turn your volume up lul [06:04] lol [06:04] free is free [06:05] mobius22: x will always equal x [06:05] i was trying to install a program which is a network monitoring tool called netams [06:05] it promptly asked for my root system pwd, which i refuesed to supply [06:06] Guest57741: you don't need to dual boot that, you can just log in to the xfce or gnome desktops at the login screen, the underlying OS is 100% identical [06:06] now dpkg is frozen and will not finish that install [06:06] essentially paper weghting the entire system [06:06] maybe reboot it mobious? [06:06] negative, dpkg issues are persistent [06:06] that only works in winblows [06:07] no, there is a way, but it's not going to be revealed on this sunday night [06:07] good night all :) [06:08] If I install Ubuntu and a bootloader onto an external USB HDD, will I be able to use it between two different machines with different hardware specs, or will I be likely to encounter driver difficulties along the way? [06:08] well that was stupid... I should have just chosen "http" instead. It just defaults to the right path - lol [06:12] MrBusiness, probably work most of the time, a full install will put the bootloader in the mbr, if your sure to point it there. [06:12] one way or the other. [06:12] Ah, well, part of my goal is to have the bootloader on the external HDD [06:12] I'm trying to make this for someone else, and I don't want them to have to deal with GRUB on their own MBR [06:13] I don't think I'll run into any issues where one computer has more devices plugged into it than the other, thus potentially confusing GRUB. [06:14] Oh well, I'll know soon enough, since I'm simulating what I think will be a similar arrangement with my own garbage equipment. [06:14] MrBusiness, they need to familiar with grub really if they can be. Grub will only see what is in its boot file. [06:16] !ubottu | nvidia [06:16] nvidia: Hi!

[06:20] :) to the fellow who suggested the reboot, that actually was part of the fix for removal of the stuck package [06:20] sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin doesn't install latest version, installs very old ugly version [06:20] hymen00, for i in $(seq n); do foo; done [06:20] how I get the latest [06:21] taipres, download it (source) or look for a ppa [06:21] !ppa | taipres [06:21] taipres: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[06:21] sindhiBhai: Last Thursday in April [06:22] action why is it third party [06:22] thx [06:22] :) [06:22] and why does ubuntu not have latest version of the software(extremely popular software) [06:22] taipres: example? [06:23] taipres: depends on what release is avail. at time. Ubuntu does not use beta versions of anything [06:23] sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin installs Version information: 3.3.10deb1 [06:23] the latest is [06:23] not using seq that is? trying to keep code as portable as possible [06:23] Version information: 3.4.5, latest stable version: 3.4.10.1 [06:23] at least [06:23] so it's not even remotely close... [06:23] it' [06:24] it is what is in the repo - not always latest version [06:24] taipres feel free to download and install from source ... [06:24] well considering how old and ugly this thing is, not to mention popular, they really need a remotely close newer version that's nicer [06:25] taipres: Ubuntu 11.10 was released last october, package import freeze was June 30, so lets take a look at what phpmyadmin's version was on June 30th. [06:25] please do take a look [06:25] !nvidia | cancer [06:25] cancer, please see my private message [06:25] because i've had the same phpmyadmin for months [06:25] over year maybe [06:25] so it's years outdatted ubuntu version is [06:26] taipres: I guess the question is, why cant you just get it and install it from the web site? [06:27] taipres: please also note that later version of software might not be compatible with currently installed software (like webservers and such) [06:27] Blue1 I guess I have to now? I'm just pointing this out to you guys, this isn't bobs linux editor, this is one of the most used linux apps in the world, just expected ubuntu to have decently recent version thats all, as it usually does [06:27] heyhey, what's up.. having a vim question in 11.10.. gnome-terminal seems to hate it by default, status bar doesn't show, and arrow keys don't work, anyone else have that? [06:27] taipres: If I had to guess, I'd say 3.4.3 would be in 11.10, based off of release dates and such. [06:27] ok thanks [06:27] i'm using latest ubuntu [06:28] and updated so [06:28] taipres: 11.10 has 3.4.5 in it currently, so that's what you have. [06:28] * CFHowlett thinks if ubuntu had EVERY stable package, ppl would complain that the development package wasn't installed by default... [06:28] is there a way to do this with just bash? not using seq that is? trying to keep code as portable as possible [06:28] i'm not using regular ubuntu [06:28] it's server version [06:28] what CFHowlett said [06:29] CFHowlett, ecryptfs does not exist as executable, and as it seems to me its more desigend for ~ encrypten, rather than / [06:29] taipres: same packages/repositories. But yeah, you have 3.4.5, which was released in September of last year, so I don't think that's very outdated. [06:29] it's telling me "Version information: 3.3.10deb1" [06:29] i'm logged into it [06:29] ! ubottu | synaptic [06:29] synaptic: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [06:29] taipres: Alright, what does `lsb_release -r` in a terminal say? [06:30] 11.04 [06:30] so isn't *latest* ubuntu I suppose [06:30] taipres: right, so you're not on the latest Ubuntu, you're on 11.04 [06:30] Is there a reasonably straightforward method for mounting SMB shares in a persistent manner? [06:30] Flannel how I tap into latest ubuntu's repository then? [06:31] taipres: Upgrade to 11.10 [06:33] Flannel that's the only way? [06:33] taipres: yes [06:34] the synergy in ubuntu software center is 1.3.8..... how do I install 1.4.7? [06:34] taipres: That's the only way I'd recommend. With this particular package, you could snag the updated deb, because the dependencies haven't changed from what I can see. But you lose security updates that way, and there's some other things you should be aware of as well if you're going to do that. [06:34] how to run this file NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.31-pkg1.run [06:34] 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.31-pkg1.run' [06:35] and there's no guarantee that the actual package dependencies are accurate (version wise), because mixing ubuntu versions isn't something that's tested for. [06:35] cancer: Just by full path, or if it's in the current directory, ./filename [06:36] theadmin: i have it on desktop folder [06:36] cancer: might need to right click on it and enable executing as a program in the permissions tab as well [06:36] cancer: chmod +x ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.31-pkg1.run ; ~/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.31-pkg1.run # Also, I think nvidia drivers are in the repos. "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" will get them for you without messing your system up [06:36] cancer: you can do this in the command line with 'chmod +x ' [06:36] taipres: You'll need to upgrade within the next seven months anyway, when 11.04 goes EOL. [06:39] theadmin: i did the sudo apt-get command in terminal and is in process now. [06:40] Hi. I am having 80 GB harddisk . I am panning to install Windows 7 Ultimate and Ubuntu 12.10. Any ideas or tips how I should partition the disk?. [06:42] UltimatePower: That's a bit tight on space. If there's no possibility of an extra drive, I'd probably split down the middle. [06:42] UltimatePower a standard installation of ubuntu runs around 5 gigs - add some more for saved data [06:42] UltimatePower also, I HOPE you meant to say you/re installing 11.10 NOT 12.04 BETA... [06:43] CFHowlett : sorry tpo error. I planning to install 11.10. [06:43] theadmin: grak: yesterday, auronandace told me some commands of ppa for nvidia. is there any way i can remove them. [06:43] !ppa-purge | cancer [06:43] cancer: 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 [06:44] CFHowlett : I have no ectra money to spare a external disk. [06:44] UltimatePower no worries. have fun. Maybe after you're all dual booted up, see this http://fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads/ [06:44] CFHowlett : Grak:can u give me tips? [06:45] Hmm... without knowing which side you plan to use more it's hard to say which partition should be bigger. === sun is now known as Guest24966 [06:45] One thing I can say is that you'll want to install Windows first. [06:45] CFHowlett : it about linux magazines. what i should i do now?. [06:45] grak:then [06:46] UltimatePower find out how much space is actually used by windows. subtract that from the 80 gigs. split the remaining free amount between windows and ubuntu. [06:46] hello [06:46] UltimatePower: during the Windows install you should have the option to create the install partition. You'll want to make sure it doesn't use the whole drive. [06:46] yooo [06:46] theadmin: i have just removed 'wine' in past few minutes and it's still in [06:46] is ext4 now considered stable as ext3 ? [06:46] jimbo greetings. [06:47] theadmin: i have just removed 'wine' in past few minutes and it's still in 'application' tab. [06:47] Name141 safer if I understand correctly [06:47] CFHowlett : y split the remaining between windows and linux. why not only linux. [06:47] UltimatePower you never plan to save files again in windows?? [06:48] Grak: I am novice in this area. can please elaborate? [06:48] I upgraded from synergy 1.3.8 to 1.4.7 and now it can't find my synergy.conf [06:48] with this minimal ubuntu install, I would like to have a bare bones xfce desktop environment. I see that the x window system is slated to be installed but i can remove it. What would happen if I did that though? Is there other things that require it (like the terminal or something)? [06:49] Anyone know of a good fan speed tool? I have an old hp dv5 and it's overheating [06:49] CFHowlett : I already win7 & ubu 11.10 in dual. win 7 creating problems so I am planning fresh install of both [06:49] UltimatePower you have windows. You want ubuntu. if you do ANY work or save ANY files, they'll need somwhere to be saved. Thus you leave extra room ... [06:49] although I can see synergy.conf just fine [06:49] UltimatePower OK - install windows first is my advice. [06:49] grak: theadmin: please help: http://paste.ubuntu.com/879985/ [06:49] CFHowlett : I can back up important on a dvd or some thing like that. [06:50] cancer: sudo apt-get clean and repeat the command [06:50] CFHowlett: Alrighty. I know some distros still like to stay on ext3 (specially debian). [06:50] UltimatePower always good plan... do you actually have your windows dvd? [06:50] CFHowlett : ya k. can point me to info detailing about partioning installing, etc [06:50] theadmin: nothin happen with 'sudo apt-get clea' [06:50] UltimatePower https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [06:50] theadmin: nothin happen with 'sudo apt-get clean' [06:50] CFHowlett : I will get it in a day or two. [06:50] cancer: It won't print anything [06:51] ok [06:51] Name141 well its not like anyone is saying OMG don't use ext3! ext4 is just the latest/greatest. [06:51] CFHowlett: okie dokey. [06:52] ultimatepower: i have installed kubuntu 11.10 in last days :D. it's working fine with XP. there was a dual boot problem but solved very easily [06:52] <[[thufir]]> from the dar man page: −c, −−create [/] now, what does that mean? if you want to backup /home/me/foo and put the slices onto /home/me/bar what's the syntax for that?

[06:52] cancer: oh i see. [06:52] * CFHowlett xp? [06:53] the x window system that is [06:53] cfhowlett: Windows xp [06:53] willijs3 latest generation ipod?? [06:53] 4th gen. [06:53] willijs3 doesn't see it at all or just the ipod/synch functions? It should show up as external media [06:53] I used the newest version of itunes to sync it a few days ago, could that be the issue? [06:54] it's not seeing it at all [06:54] willijs3 apple likes to sneak in FOSS break tech with each update... [06:55] CFHowlett Yeah, i figured that would be the case. I just don't get why normal Ubuntu 11.10 could see it fine, but when I switch to Studio it isn't seeing anything. [06:55] thanks for the help, have a good one [06:56] theadmin: what about this time, do you think command will work fine till end. [06:56] willijs3 slow down. How did you install US; fresh install or upgrade? [06:56] fresh. I wante to start completly from scratch [06:56] got synergy working again, but I believe I have it running in the "foreground" using startup applications synergys -f --config /etc/synergy.conf ? [06:57] willijs3 you lost something then..from ubuntu ## to US 11.10? what version of ubuntu? [06:57] is it ok t just leave it like that? [06:57] crfripper - "x2x" is more basic than synergy I think [06:57] hello, I am having a strange issue with sshfs mounted via fstab [06:58] everything works fine for an indefinite period of time, and then randomly once in a while it will cause everything that touches that mount point to hang [06:58] more basic being good or bad? [06:58] good [06:58] Have a question if u instal .bin file how do u update the package? [06:58] I'm reading about how to create a system level startup [06:58] CFHowlett 11.10. I'm puzzled. I can's figure out if iTunes put a lock on the iPod or what. [06:58] i ditched synergy yonks ago - x2x totally reliable [06:58] the strange part is that my media keys and custom keyboard shortcuts also stop working [06:59] willijs3 lots of issues with 4th gen and ubuntu 11.10 ... [06:59] theadmin: what are 'fakeroot', i just saw that in the process of the last command. 'setting up fakeroot'? [06:59] cancer: Just a package, it allows to "pretend" you have root priveleges, kind of hard to explain [06:59] willijs3 seems to maybe be some 32/64 bit issues as well [06:59] theadmin: okie [07:00] theadmin: the command ended, what now? do i have to run 'nvidia-xconfig' or need to restart wihtout it? [07:01] cancer: Not sure if you need to run that anymore, try without it first I guess [07:01] cancer: I'm an AMD person lol [07:01] theadmin: what if i lost the display? [07:01] willijs3 look like gtkpod is a recommended app for ipod users [07:01] cancer: Boot into the recovery mode and, uh, work from there? Or try nomodeset, or... [07:02] theadmin: ok. [07:02] theadmin: tnx [07:03] CFHowlett I tried installing that thinking maybe it had what I needed, but it didn't help. I also added Banshee to no avail. [07:03] willijs3 yeah I'm seeing a lot of questions but not many answers. sorry. [07:04] CFHowlett Me too. Thanks for trying! I think i'm going to try US 11.04 and see if that plays nice with Apple products. [07:04] willijs3 good luck. [07:05] CFHowlett thanks, I'll need it, ha [07:06] I understand u can build a .bin file, how do u meet the dependencies of the package does ubuntu handle this?? === primary is now known as Guest28693 [07:07] trying to get my head wrapped around binary files anyone goa link?? to understand binary files [07:07] Anyone know when AMD will support the Radeon 7960M in Linux?

[07:27] what is the "base system" in the alternate install cd? Does this include the full blown installation or is it just the cli base system? [07:30] <[[thufir]]> ClientAlive: without context, I would lean towards the former [07:33] ClientAlive: I'd think it's just the base === Guest53663 is now known as onre [07:33] ClientAlive: Only the necessary packages that's it [07:33] [[thufir]]: I'm using the 'expert install' on the alternate cd, desperately trying to keep this thing from giving me anything more than a stripped down cli only system. [07:34] why archive.ubuntu.com slow? i want fast archive. Me man, me need huge bandwidth [07:34] (lol) [07:35] dj_ryan: Select a mirror closer to you. [07:35] ClientAlive Use F4 function for cli only install [07:35] well "necessary" is sort of ambiguous. Ubuntu may fell that everything all the way up to Unity is "necessary" --no offense intended, it is sort of ambiguous though [07:35] theadmin: archive is the closest to me [07:35] F4?? [07:35] ClientAlive: Well... You're true on that, but I highly doubt that option will include Xorg or anything [07:36] ClientAlive at the start of the install you get options [07:36] ok. well, I'm about to find out I guess. It's a bare system to begin with so I guess there's nothing to worry about wiping out. Can just try again and then I'll know. [07:37] jerrrys: you mean at the first, main menu right? [07:37] of course [07:37] sweet jebus, the 'us' ubuntu archive is pointing to a EU location! [07:38] ClientAlive no at the start of the cd installation process on the alt install cd [07:39] I'll have to look for that if this install I'm in the middle of doesn't give me the result I'm after. [07:40] I don't remember seening any function key options to use though [07:40] ClientAlive I too start with terminalonly install [07:40] right, exactly.... [07:41] what is the F4 thing though. I haven't heard of that and I can't place where in the installation process you would use it. [07:41] Hello. I disabled lightdm in my Ubuntu, and I start X with startx. Now, there is a funny situation, the sound doesn't work in x, but sound from x plays when I switch to tty... Any ideas? [07:41] <[[thufir]]> ClientAlive: what's installed? you're overlaying the OS? [07:43] well the fist time I just chose "install Ubuntu" I wan't worried about what kind of install at that point only that it would instlall on a uefi system. Now this is the second time round trying the "expert install" option to get a minimal install === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [07:43] Im trying to apply a logrotation on my DHCP custom log. Ive applied the file in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog. http://pastebin.com/RjsX7e5y. This doesnt wook like working. Do i have to reload some processes to make logrotate eat the new config? [07:44] I'm not sure what "overlaying" means. I'm just paving over, and over, and over... [07:44] I need a minimal base system to start [07:44] <[[thufir]]> ClientAlive: err, ok, umm. you're doing it "wrong" IMHO [07:45] yeah, I think so too [07:45] <[[thufir]]> if you really want a minimal system, probably you want to format the hdd since there's no data there, right? [07:46] absolutely not. Yes, there is no data there. However there is a rather complicated raid/lvm setup. I can't lose that base. [07:46] <[[thufir]]> when you say minimal, you mean no GNOME, no xterm? why not just install those from cd (easier) then just use apt to remove those packages? why not do that? [07:46] <[[thufir]]> then just uninstall xterm, gnome, etc. why not? [07:47] * [[thufir]] isn't a linux expert by any means, just offering his two cents [07:47] !mini [07:47] 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 [07:47] my ideal? Ultimately just cli, a very light weight window manager like openbox, a light browser like chrome or opera, and eventually quemu-kvm [07:48] <[[thufir]]> that sounds like the ticket. use that cd aurondance gave link for. [07:48] I have that web page in my browser. I'm not sure what they mean when they say "install base system" There is also an option to manually choose the software. [07:49] has anybody in here been running ubuntu on "ACER Aspire S3-951" ? - Or maybe you have a suggestion for another "ultrabook" that runs out-of-the-box with ubuntu? [07:49] but will the minimal do uefi - I can't begin to explain the horror I've been through these last 3 wks over this efi thing. [07:49] out-of-the-box/minimal-setup [07:49] How do I disable the key on Gnome? I've tried everything but it is still there. [07:49] <[[thufir]]> just go with base system. in this context, it just means whatever comes on that minimal disc by default. [07:50] we'll see what happens I guess [07:51] I still want to know what this F4 thing is though. That was coming from someone who says this is thier gig. [07:51] <[[thufir]]> I have an announcement: dar rocks! however, it should tell you how many slices it will create at some point. === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [07:57] now it won't even boot [07:57] It's possible my only option is to do a regular install then stip it down [07:58] omg!!

[08:08] ircnode0, just exit the outmost screen, get a connection to the inner server and reattach that screen [08:11] dancek: so I can just exit a program and it will exit outmost screen? [08:11] hi [08:12] okay let's try. If I leave this channel, means I exitted inner screen =) [08:12] tmux,very good tols [08:12] tools [08:12] ircnode0, `screen -rd` reattaches a screen [08:12] and even detaches from another pty/screen/whatever if needed [08:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/880028/ what's wrong？ [08:14] any reason 11.10 doesn't come with firefox 10?

[09:44] xro: so what's changed [09:44] ikonia, nothing ;) [09:44] that sounds unlikley [09:44] harsh343, identify the program already opened and close it. sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/status should tell you what program is in use [09:45] ikonia, it's a cronjob... it worked fine and today not.... [09:45] ikonia, and i quite sure that it will wok fine tomorrow.... === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [09:45] so something must have changed [09:45] xro: so why are you quite sure it will work fine tomorrow ? [09:46] xro: Then add some debugging messages in the python script so you can locate the problem next time it happens. [09:46] ikonia, because i didn't change anything... so, that should be a "bug" [09:46] bluefrog, output http://pastebin.com/r6XXaiHa [09:46] xro: so, it doens't work for one day, but you are confident it will work tomorrow with no understanding of why it's failing or whats changed [09:46] geirha, i have log infos... but there is no errors... just a threads that wait for ??? [09:47] harsh343, apt-get is certainly waiting for a CD to be inserted (but you don't see it) old bug. kill apt-get and then you'll be ok [09:47] So your script has a race condition probably [09:47] ikonia, this script worked since 2 years without any bug.... [09:48] xro: ok so something much have changed in either the environment or the processing of what it does [09:48] ikonia, so no way to force a FUTEX? i don't really care if there is an error... [09:48] bash: kill: drupal6: arguments must be process or job IDs [09:48] xro: how do you expect to force an internal process [09:49] ikonia, there are 10 threads that do the "same job"... 1 on them is locked... why i d'ont know [09:49] harsh343, sudo kill -9 17570 [09:49] ikonia, with a SIG [09:49] xro: but which one ? [09:49] ikonia, that is my question [09:49] xro: doubtful [09:50] bluefrog, now next error again http://pastebin.com/STkrTSFH [09:50] ikonia, so i have to kill it, remove processed data, start it again and debug it if necessary....

My harddisk went to readonly mode while the system was running. After a restart, I started getting "hd0 out of disk" and got thrown into grub-rescue. From there, I was able to access my grub folder (via `ls (hd0,msdos5)/boot/grub`). right now I'm on an livecd on that machine, and it manages to mount and read/write to it. Any ideas? [10:47] Nublet: I presume it's either using a standard vga driver, or can't detect the supported monitor resolutions. Looks like a radeon HD 6320, so I'd be inclined to look at installing the radeon drivers and go from there. I'd be surprised if there isn't something online to tell you how ;) [10:48] shesek: is it out of space? :) [10:48] I have been online searching all morning nowhere says anything about linux and this msi wind box dc100 :( [10:48] how do you know its a radeon HD 6320? [10:49] an lspci tells me its "VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 9806" [10:49] johnm, nope. that was my first thought too [10:49] around 9GB of free space [10:49] who has a hd 6320? [10:50] Nublet: I looked at the MSI manufacturers page and the tech specs said it shipped with a 6320. [10:50] oh, a laptop gpu. well, i have a 8400 gs, if that makes you feel any better [10:51] Nublet: 9806 is the device ID for a 63xx series card. [10:52] hey, does anyone know how big an image will be, if i use DDRESCUE, on a 1 TB hard disk? [10:52] jpds: its puppy not ubuntu [10:52] 1TB or less [10:52] irish: Same principles apply. [10:52] hmm so how can I be sure which card i have exactly johnm ? :s [10:52] i have a 120G hard disk [10:53] CatKiller: oh my, now i must pay through my nose to buy one :( [10:53] jpds: so search for puppy hashtags then? [10:53] doomgiver: Depending on the state of the drive, you could try partimage [10:53] Nublet: Well, given that :9806 is the device ID for 63xx cars, and the manufacturer claims its a pre-buiklt unit that ships with a 6320, I'd suggest you're fairly safe to go with Radeon HD 6320. [10:53] CatKiller: im pretty sure there are some bad sectors on the drive. [10:54] doomgiver: But if you are using ddrescue, chances are your drive is dying, you need a new one. Therefore ddrescue from the original to the new one [10:54] windows errors [10:54] irish: Yes. [10:54] actually, the cabinet toppled over, while running [10:54] doomgiver: Bad sectors means that your drive doesn't have much longer left. [10:54] doomgiver: Drive is probably scratched, you may lose a lot. [10:54] CatKiller: i've heard bad sectors can be 'repaired', using low level formats. [10:55] doomgiver: I guess you can feel lucky nobody was under when it toppled over. [10:55] doomgiver: Not true at all [10:55] haha [10:55] Nublet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver looks fairly up to date [10:55] doomgiver: This "low level format" is a thing of the past afaik. [10:56] doomgiver: When a bad sector is detected, the drive remaps it to a reserved area of the disk (because you are bound to get a few over the years). But when that area is full, that means you're getting more bad sectors than the disk can handle and generally it won't stop. [10:56] hmm, ok. but the hdd seems fine, it doenst make noises. is there no chance at all of recovery? [10:56] doomgiver: Noise is for a different problem. Here it is most likely scratched. A whole pile of data is gone./ [10:56] CatKiller: ok, so ts a cascasde kind of thing [10:57] I can not type in terminal ubuntu 11:04 [10:57] please help me [10:57] doomgiver: The shock sent the head crashing onto the surface of a fast spinning disk, causing the magnetic coating to be removed [10:57] ok thanks johnm I will try that site [10:57] doomgiver: This is a likely explanation. Opening the drive afterwards will tell [10:57] im not opening it up!! [10:58] doomgiver: Once you have the data safe, why not? [10:58] doomgiver: That drive will need to be binned anyways. [10:58] actually, whatever happens, i'll use it as a dump drive or put it in a cage [10:58] just to see how long it lasts [10:59] It may last a while so long as you don't use the whole pile of sectors that are corrupted [10:59] johnm, quick question , I run "lspci -nn | grep VGA" and I get "00:01.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Device [1002:9806]" the site you linked me says it should report "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AS [Radeon 9550]" [10:59] alright, thanks, once again [10:59] but it didnt... is this guide safe to follow to install the driver? I dont want to install wrong thing and mess it up [10:59] doomgiver: No problem./ [10:59] :) [10:59] doomgiver: Good luck :) [11:00] CatKiller: ty [11:01] Hello room [11:01] anyone? [11:02] yes [11:02] Nublet: it'll only say that when it can match a driver with the device ID (9806) which in this case it cannot. [11:02] Can anyone help me with an internet sound problem? [11:03] so there is no way to be sure of the exact card in here? if its the one you say, it is not in the list of drivers in the site you linked me [11:03] Nublet: I've not used a radeon card on linux in a very long time personally, but the proproetary drivers are here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx and they're based on the open source fglrx drivers. [11:03] Nublet: I'd imagine at the very least, they;'ll be supported by catalyst. [11:03] hmm [11:04] Nublet: No, I'm 99.9% confident that the card is what I said it was. Mainly because thats what the manufacturer says it is, and it's embedded on the motherboard. [11:04] hi [11:04] I have never had to install propriety drivers before usually the hardware drviers option in ubuntu does it for me... [11:04] is there a channel for embedded linux? [11:04] is there no command line option to verify the type of card I have in here _ [11:05] jpds: not quite understanding how to type the name for the file...lupu-528.004.iso Every attempt has been unrecognizable. [11:05] Nublet: you're very welcome to ignore my suggestion and continue looking. I imagine it's simply that the device database isn't up to date for the newer radeon card. [11:05] Nublet: sudo lshw; should all the info you need [11:05] im not ignoring your suggestion I just want to be 100% sure I am installing the right driver and following the correct guide [11:06] Nublet: you've verififed it already. The device ID is resolved by looking up vendor and device id's in the device id database. It isn't in there. It doesn't mean its not what the manufacturer says it is though. And it's already within the same family re: device id's [11:06] Well, the catalyst drivers support all modern radeon cards. [11:06] I think that includes your modern radeon card too :) [11:06] gpuz and cpuz should be ported to linux :) [11:06] Nublet: http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ [11:07] ATI Technologies Inc Device [1002:9806] [11:07] http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/1002/9806 [11:07] Name: Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320] [11:08] pciid's is presumably older than Nov last year with the version of ubuntu you're installing - or you've not updated it.

It runs fine in Unity and GNOME, but I want it in Xfce and "compiz --replace" isn't working! I've been using Xfce+Compiz for a couple years now in Ubuntu. I'd really like to have it back! [12:17] hello, i can't connect to internet using wvdial. wvdialconf detected my modem, but pppd daemon has died, modem hang up the phone (exit code = 16). how we solve this ? [12:17] Oh hey. Lots of exclamation points. I guess I was a little excited. [12:17] hajime-kato: Are you sure your modem is supported? [12:18] Draconicus: i'm sure, it was work before.. [12:18] johnm, I have a problem... running this command, opens up a gui to install it i choose the options I want... but the gui screen is too big [12:19] I can not see the "ok" and "next buttons I assume should be t the bottom [12:19] I can not continue with the installatioin :s any ideas ? [12:19] Nublet: Press alt+f7 to move the window without grabbing it [12:19] ok [12:20] Hi guys. Could you help me with gnome3 ?

[12:20] thanks :) [12:20] darktemplate: I'll need you to be a little more specific [12:21] Draconicus: for sure ... [12:21] Draconicus: my modem works great before [12:21] I've just installed gnome 3 and every time it works in fallback mode [12:22] is it something wrong with my graphic configuration ? [12:22] darktemplate: iirc, you are supposed to run gnome 3 in fallback mode, infact, the guide i folowed had me force fallback mode [12:22] I have a 'special' lan chipset, I installed a new kernel 3.2.0. The kernel driver is in Linux/drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/, how do I load the driver? Do I use modprobe? [12:23] guys it has installed now I need to restart the system to see if it worked :) thanks for your help ill be back to let you know what happens :) [12:23] if i am not back.... you can safely assume i broke the system and reinstalling lol [12:23] brb :) [12:23] doomgiver: I installed gnome-shell, not gnome-shell-fallback [12:24] maybe i should use gdm ? [12:24] darktemplate: I'm not 100% sure, but I think gnome-shell-fallback is a package dependency. All the same, GDM can't hurt. LightDM causes problems sometimes if you want customized sessions. [12:24] ok === csuhbcsd is now known as energy [12:25] I will try GDM [12:25] darktemplate: This is not surefire advice. I suggset you wait for more info.

[12:26] hello, everyone, I get a usb wireless card recently, and follow some tuturiale on the web to install the driver, and I installed it successfully, but the original wireless card on my lap does not work any more and the wireless led light never lights [12:26] guys! it worked! :D I have a high resolution now, THANKS :D [12:26] how can reinstall a wireless driver?

[12:29] Nublet: one year only, actually [12:30] Nublet: up to 2013 on desktop, 2015 @servers [12:30] i thought it was until 2014 ? [12:30] ahh ok [12:30] Nublet: Heh. Okay, but don't be afraid to upgrade. It's hard to get WINE 1.4 on Ubuntu 10.04, and that provides a lot of new compatibility. [12:30] well thats good enough it gives unity and gnome 3 a year to mature some more [12:30] Nublet: no problem, enjoy ;) [12:30] ahh i dont need muhc of wine tbh :) [12:31] * Draconicus recently got Diablo II working in Wine 1.4 :D [12:31] lazik: i know nothing about terminal command [12:31] I just need to figure out how to get wireless working on it now haha xD then its 100% complete and all running :) [12:31] :( [12:31] and i want install D-link DWA-252 pci wireless its not working .. any solution ! ? [12:32] sara2010: You need to approach this differently. First off, you're running what version of Ubuntu? [12:32] jayar: it want give any option to paste file in to /usr/src === david is now known as Guest94653 [12:32] cancer, why would you possibly want to do that [12:32] cancer, sudo cp file /usr/src [12:32] glxgears seems to run good so i assume 3d acceleration is working on this driver to :D [12:32] bluefrog: Careful, he's going to break his system that way. [12:33] Draconicus, and? [12:33] bazhang: I suspect he found a very old guide after trying to download some old application that has been in the repository for years, because nobody showed him how to use a package manager [12:33] cancer: What are you actually trying to do? [12:33] Nublet: imagine so. You can confirm with "glxinfo | grep direct" [12:33] Draconicus .. ubuntu 11.10 [12:34] yeah I just ran that and it says "yes" so its all good driver went on peice of cake!. thanks a lot for your help im sorry if i was a bit annoying being all noobish xD [12:34] sara2010: Look at the top right of your screen. You will see a set of icons to the left of your clock. One of them represents internet connections, including wireless. Since you're talking to me through that machine (I assume), it probably looks like two computers [12:34] Nublet: Now go look into Compiz. :3 [12:34] lol :P [12:35] I would like to :P but this is a works computer :O I was asked to install ubuntu on it to put in the meeting room for the overhead projector for presentations xD [12:35] dont think they have much need or want for compiz xD [12:35] Nublet: Well, at least it can't get those nasty viruses now! :P [12:35] cancer, why would you want to copy something there? please explain [12:36] yeah Draconicus that is one of the main reasons we are usin gubuntu on certain machines here [12:36] bazhang: I think he took bluefrog's instructions. He's probably blowing up his computer right now. [12:36] hard to say as he refuses to clarify [12:36] Draconicus ... i know these things .. but this pci wireless card is not working ... ! [12:36] Nublet: gubuntu? Oh god, what did I miss now? There's one prepackaged with Gnome because Unity is default now? [12:37] we have some that either run a slide show on a big screen in our main office 24/7 never gets turned off and some like this used for meetings with presentations etc so ...windows is always slowing down and needing cleaning and defrag etc and viruses..this...we just set up and leave... no need to worry aobut it much less maintenance once its set up :) [12:37] sara2010: Please tell me what it says under that icon for "wireless network" [12:37] Draconicus .. it was working with old d-link card i buy new one ! [12:37] there is something called Gubuntu? :s [12:37] Nublet: You said it first. I dunno. [12:37] Draconicus .. there is no wireless card only lan is working ! [12:37] Nublet, you spelled it that way two lines up [12:37] sara2010: Do you know how to open a terminal? [12:37] oh sorry must have been mistyped if i added that [12:38] bazhang: Hay, do you know why my Compiz won't work in Xfce? :D [12:38] Draconicus, got ccsm installed? [12:38] Draconicus ,, yah i know how to open terminal [12:39] bazhang: Of course. Compiz just hangs on its own. It only works in Unity or GNOME3... Unless Unity is pulling Gnome's alternate compositor. I hope not. [12:40] what is the best way to start troubleshootng non working wireless with ubuntu say for example, I type ifconfig and it does not show wlan anywhere only eth0 but in the top ubuntu panel/toolbar I click on the wireless icon and it displays NO wireless connections when there are atleast 4 in this area [12:40] * vvvvv [12:40] sara2010: "Type lspci | grep controller" - do not paste the output here, but tell me if you see your wireless card [12:41] Nublet: Do that on yours too. :D [12:41] Draconicus, I'd ask in #compiz in a little bit were I in your situation, sorry I can offer only the most obvious suggestions [12:41] ok lol [12:41] ok [12:41] bazhang: Already there. They are perplexed thusfar. Do you know if GNOME3 has its own compositor? [12:41] Draconicus, the closest thing I get to wirless from that command line is "03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)" but that is my current wired connection :s [12:42] bazhang: My benchmark so far has been AWN. If AWN gets all pretty, I know we're compositing and assume Compiz is working. Might not be the best method. [12:42] Nublet: Are you quite sure it's plugged in? [12:42] Nublet: Sometimes they're not called controllers. Try just "lspci" [12:42] yeah wireless is built into this nettop [12:42] ok [12:42] Might be labeled with "adapter" or some junk.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [12:52] I mean, what is command? hehe [12:53] OerHeks: 10.04 [12:53] no idea, I forgot it but it's on google :) [12:53] son [12:53] and how can I open the terminal? === MartinS is now known as Guest66755 [12:53] ok ok so there cant really be 1587 people named nick in here [12:54] mgsk, try " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade " [12:54] Nublet: If it doesn't show up in lspci it's usually a physical hardware problem, in my experience. [12:54] unity --reset [12:54] n0t4n3asyn1ck, got an actual support question? [12:54] I would like to reset setting to defaul... How can I then? [12:54] OerHeks: I think the problem was that i had release-upgrades set to "lts" [12:54] uhm ctrl+shift+t I think [12:54] inveratulo: in my experience bash only substitutes the tilde if you tab right at it, not if you do e.g. ~/bin === root is now known as Guest18840 [12:54] Although recently I had an Archos tablet whose screen does not show up in the 3.0 kernel... I'm tempted to test with 2.6 to see if it's something there. [12:54] tattus, unity --reset [12:54] mgsk, that could be it, yes. [12:54] je parl francai [12:54] Draconicus, . sorry got dc yes pci wireless card is showing there [12:55] osee, yes. in #ubuntu-fr NOT here [12:55] Nublet: Do you have any idea of the model? I can't think of a series that wouldn't be supported by 10.04 [12:55] hmm, Draconicus you dont think there should be a keyboard shortcut or something to turn it on or off? [12:55] sara2010: What model is it? Broadcom? [12:55] I dunno let me check its specs see what I can find [12:55] sudo aptitude fix-my-problems always works for me [12:55] OerHeks: thanks for your help. [12:55] n0t4n3asyn1ck, stop that [12:55] mgsk, have fun [12:55] Nublet: It will show even if the hardware switch is off. That only disables the antenna via firmware usually. [12:55] !ot > n0t4n3asyn1ck [12:55] n0t4n3asyn1ck, please see my private message [12:55] thanks html_5 [12:56] Draconicus, nops its Ralink corp. RT3060 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R [12:56] ok === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [12:56] join/ als [12:56] tattus, wellcome, just google it, it was easy, [12:56] sara2010: Ralink cards sometimes need firmware. I'm surprised it didn't just say "firmware missing" on your network status though. Go to dash-home and type "driver", then click "Additional Drivers" [12:56] sara2010: If you're missing your wireless firmware, it'll show up there. [12:57] elky: [12:57] The only thing the specifications page shows me on their website is "WiFi 802.11 b/g/n [12:57] what script [12:57] so I have no idea :s [12:57] one more thing, google says to open the terminal alt + f2, I tried that but nothing happenned... [12:57] Nublet: Vendors aren't terribly helpful. Sorry. [12:57] is there a google command that can be used publicly in the channel [12:57] a [12:57] Shinkamu1, to do what [12:57] its ok [12:57] no idea [12:58] Shinkamu1, then why ask [12:58] im apparently confusing people with a trigger I don't know I have active [12:58] Shinkamu1, no google-bot-extention here [12:58] Nublet: Crazy idea, but can you try shutting the machine down and physically re-seating the card? [12:58] you think i dont have much chance to get this working then since we cant find out what the hardware is exactly? [12:58] !google [12:58] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [12:58] hmm dunno I would need to open up the nettop [12:58] well, no idea why I got removed then [12:58] it looks pretty sealed [12:58] no screws etc... [12:58] Nublet: Oh god, it's probably buried in that thing. I'm sorry. [12:58] have to wait for elky to come back [12:58] yeah [12:58] Shinkamu1: Stop by #ubuntu-ops then [12:58] I'm afraid I've run out of help, Nublet. I wish you the best of luck. :C [12:59] ahh ok [12:59] well thank you for your time anyway :) [12:59] Nublet: If I were you and needed a quick fix for an office, I'd go buy a $15 USB wireless dongle. [12:59] I will have a word with my boss I think we can survive without the wirless on this thing [12:59] yeah [12:59] Nublet: The cheapo netgear ones work great. [12:59] ok, thanks :D thats good to know I am always hesistant of buying wi fi adapters for linux lol [13:00] but ill look at netgear :) [13:00] hi, I'm having issues with fdisk on ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS. I'm trying to create a partition on a large raid system, but fdisk refuses to create anything larger than 2TB. [13:00] i need to pick up one of those also. [13:00] Nublet: Well, I can't say much about 10.04, but in 11.10 I haven't yet found a wireless thing that doesn't "just work" to some degree. [13:00] What might be the problem here? [13:00] nice :D [13:00] UI have had one that would not work properly on 10.4 it was a cheap unbranded one from china lol [13:00] suppose you get what you pay for lol [13:00] Nublet: After 10.10, firmware has prepackaging in Ubuntu repos. It's pretty sexy actually. Broadcom card? Click here to install fwcutter! [13:00] gvandeweyer: yeah, that is the limit of fdisk, i'm afraid. parted will manage just fine. (also sfdisk, i think) [13:01] lol nice [13:01] sipior : thanks, I'll have a look. [13:01] Nublet: That boils down to clicking the wireless icon, seeing "firmware missing", going to "additional drivers" and grabbing the b43 thing [13:01] Not far from what I told sara2010 to do. Any luck, sara? [13:01] gvandeweyer: actually, i'm probably wrong about sfdisk. no harm giving it a go, of course. [13:01] I really need to go... [13:02] Ah well, good luck to you all! Thanks for the help... wait, that was #Xubuntu.. :x [13:02] Ah well [13:02] sipior : yes, I've looked into the sfdsisk manual, it specifically states 'not for large partitions' [13:03] time to learn to use parted... [13:03] gvandeweyer: indeed :-) [13:03] well Draconicus I click the wifi icon and it seems to work as normal apart form it does not show any wireless connection to connect to and I knwof ro a fact there are atleast 4 connections here it just doesnt see them [13:03] k [13:03] it would be neat if you could somehow autogenerate a repo cd that had all the restricded drivers on it. gor people with wireless only [13:03] but ok, if you need to go ill cya later :) thank you for your time :) [13:04] hi every one [13:05] Nublet, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MsiWind [13:05] any body know how to remove protection from ubuntu to install some downloaded programs from internet on wine [13:05] amr_gaber, from where [13:05] protection? [13:07] amr_gaber, what you need install? [13:07] often you need to make the .exe. executable or use the cli.. wine /path/to/whatever.exe [13:07] hey everyone [13:07] hey all. Fairly long time ubuntu/linux user. first time on this #ubuntu channel [13:07] my eth0 card is set up to automatically retrieve network configuration (dhcp).. the same goes with ipv6 addresses.. but i need to add some additional ipv6 addresses.. how can i do this so that it will be permanent? [13:07] thanks bluefrog Ill take a look now! :) [13:08] does anyone know if skype 5.8 will run well on ubuntu, with windows 7 under virtualbox [13:08] hello can you tell me what flash add on should i use in ubuntu ? [13:08] inzi, yes [13:08] i want to switch to ubuntu but i use skype a lot.. and the linux version of skype isnt gud enuf [13:08] if your host is up to it [13:09] anyone on here used Darkplaces? [13:09] :) [13:09] speddie will all the functions work? camera etc.. [13:09] amr_gaber: keep it in the channel. not in pm [13:09] you can do that, if you have issues jsut make the virtualbox task a high priority in windows [13:09] you could even go the other way and virtualize windows in ubunti [13:09] u [13:09] bluefrog, wil that link be safe to follow since it is for Ubuntu 8.10 when I am on Ubuntu 10.4 [13:09] Nublet, it will need some reading and understanding of what's going on [13:09] i havent tried camera, only voice when i was testing other voip stuff [13:09] speddie thats the plan, ubuntu is the main OS, while windows is virtualizd [13:10] ok [13:10] is there an irc for linux gamers? as i need some advice getting quake running [13:10] join #xubuntu+1 [13:10] speddie thanks.. i think i'll hv to give it a try myself [13:10] haemogoblin: the original quake 1? [13:10] Nublet, apparently opensuse is runnning ok on your nettop. so you could grab a suse live version and see what wifi chipset is in there [13:10] dr_willis, Yes [13:11] hmm maybe. I will check this guide qucikly though give it a go if it works I am set [13:11] yeh your better off having ubuntu as host and virtualize windows. best thing is because the hard drives are single files, snapshots are just a matter opf copy/paste the file you stuff up windows/get virus whatever, just go back to known working hdd [13:11] anyone here using 12.04, stable? [13:11] if I change to OpenSuse I may need to sort out my graphics again lol [13:11] haemogoblin: use one of the.remakes from the.repos perhaps [13:11] speddie r u on ubuntu? [13:11] dr_willis, i've been following an online guide from the ubuntu forum [13:11] the wireless isnt really a priority it would just be nice to have it working lol [13:11] inzi, 12.04 isn't stable yet [13:11] and hidding a brick wall. [13:11] 11.04 latest [13:11] Remake? [13:12] and yeh im on 11.04 inzi [13:12] haemogoblin: made from the gpled quake source code [13:12] random question when I do wget where will it download the file to? [13:12] speddie, my skype on 11.10 has dark almost green video, tried all the work arounds on the forum.. hopefully 12.04 fixd the issue [13:12] if your CPU has it inzi, make sure vXD is turned on in the bios (or whatever else it may be called) [13:12] !find quake [13:12] Found: ioquake3, ioquake3-dbg, ioquake3-server, quake3-data [13:12] Nublet, where you launched the commande [13:13] hey guys is there anyway to create symlinks on a fat32 extgdd [13:13] speddie, im using a laptop [13:13] *extHDD [13:13] ok thanks lol xD I am noob :P [13:13] speddie, wat does vXD do? [13:14] hello. I just took a look into the automtatic reboot mechanism at kernel-updates. Just to be ensure, the whole directory /var/run is cleared including /var/run/reboot-required is cleared on reboot? [13:14] ok dr_Willis [13:14] ey [13:14] shaneo: not that i know of [13:14] hey [13:14] how i make .exe executable [13:14] im not sure about the greenish video, suspect driver but would need to google. vXD is in the processor that helps virtualisation on a hardware level [13:14] any idea when ever i type automatically some text get's copied . [13:14] Hello ubuntu guys. Why do I need an invitation for #ubuntu-live? [13:14] speddie, oh ok.. thankx alot.. will give it a try [13:14] amr_gaber, right click select properties go to permissions tab and tick allow executable file [13:14] Hi everyone.. I've spent some time trying to solve an issue with ubuntu server and authorized_keys. Hope someone here can help. [13:14] thnx everyone . [13:14] cheers [13:15] !permissions | amr_gaber [13:15] amr_gaber: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [13:15] selamlar. motu mkII 2408 pci324 için pardus'ta çalışacak driver bulabileceğim bi yer bilen var mı [13:15] is there something that keeps track of who has used remote desktop viewing on my ubuntu? damn it I left it wide open last night I forgot to disable it and let it give anyone access without passwd or anything and now an important text file containing a lot of secret details is empty :O [13:15] selamlar. motu mkII 2408 pci324 için pardus'ta çalışacak driver bulabileceğim bi yer bilen var mı [13:15] crap its not vXD it VT-x [13:15] sw0rdfish, you might have a look on /var/log/auth.log [13:16] I've set this up on several other systems and it works. But with ubuntu server i always get an password prompt. However if i login with password and run another terminal to the same server, it logs on with the keys. [13:16] wvdial can't bring me to connect ? how to solve this problem ? [13:16] does anyone knows where i can find a driver for MOTU MK2 2408 PCI324? [13:16] dakab, you you checked your log files? [13:17] sw0rdfish, I had that same problem once except i didnt allow all and when i woke up there were multiple attempts at a connection on my pc def check your logs than if you find a ip than you may want to do a whois on that ip [13:17] what does this mean in /var/log/auth.log: [13:17] Mar 12 14:15:01 sw0rdfish-HP-Compaq CRON[25523]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user sw0rdfish [13:17] and there are several lines like that [13:18] sw0rdfish, looks like a crontab disconnect [13:18] closed / opened / closed / opened....etc [13:18] sw0rdfish, do you use crontab ? [13:18] if not crontab -e in a terminal and remove any entries that dont look familiar [13:19] hansisolo, yes. First time I login it says: Could not open authorized keys. [13:19] on second login it suddenly can open the file. [13:19] bluefrog, that web page you linked me did not work I get a lot of warning messasges from ./makedrv and a lot of error messages from sudo ./wlan0up :( [13:19] May I ask one question, please? Why do I need an invitation for the #ubuntu-live channel? I have found some issues with live-builder on ubuntu 11.01 or 12.04 (server) but can't report them anywhere. I am looking for current documentation how to create live images on ubuntu. [13:19] dakab, check your owner, filepermission, and names of your .ssh directory [13:19] well there was a php project which I had made that uses it... but damn I haven't used that pastebin in a while [13:19] ironm: probably not an active channel [13:19] shaneo, ^^ [13:20] My Gnome login keyring password and login password is the same. Why do I still have to enter it each time after I log in ? [13:20] Nublet, you'd better grab live version and ttry to see if it works with any distro [13:20] Nublet, (including a live version of latest ubuntu [13:20] yeah i will maybe try opensuse like you say [13:20] do you know if graphics works for opensuse? [13:20] Nublet, same as ubuntu [13:20] thank you ikonia Do you know if such irc channel exists at all? (maybe on another sever) [13:20] satyanash: you can set the keyring to not use a password [13:20] ok [13:21] dr_willis, aahh.. I would rather not. [13:21] well thanks for your help :) [13:21] sw0rdfish, hmm well remove any unknown crons and look for a connection from an ip that is not on your network in the log [13:21] May I ask one question, please? Why do I need an invitation for the #ubuntu-live channel? I have found some issues with live-builder on ubuntu 11.01 or 12.04 (server) but can't report them anywhere. I am looking for current documentation how to create live images on ubuntu. [13:21] dr_willis, I remember it gettting unlocked automatically when I logged in. [13:21] hansisolo, file permissions are ok.. I think: -rw------- 1 username username 1215 2012-03-12 13:58 authorized_keys [13:22] satyanash: you set a blank password for it and it auto unlocks on login [13:22] okay. [13:22] oh wait shaneo... I found the text file... but for some reason it has changed names.... like it used to be .hiddentext for example... and now its .hiddentext.save.1 [13:22] whata hell [13:22] lol... thank God its still there though I need that file's text/ [13:23] satyanash: might be worth trying to set both passwords to an (identical) new value. === ubuntu is now known as orionsonofneptun [13:23] sipior, they are identical. [13:23] sw0rdfish, the the directory the file is stored ctrl+h and see if there is a backup file [13:23] satyanash: that's not my point. [13:24] If permissions are incorrect i would think that the login from the second terminal would fail as well but that one works. [13:24] ubuntu usually keeps a ~backup of text files [13:24] dakab so an ssh user@localhost works? Do you use something like nfs homes with -sec=krb5 ? [13:24] sipior, oh you mean again, to a new value. [13:24] satyanash: yes. [13:24] k [13:24] like I told you shaneo ... ".save.1" was appended to its name [13:24] and I gotta go for like 10 minutes now... [13:24] cya in a bit [13:25] 123 [13:26] k [13:26] sw0rdfish, sorry didnt see it alot of text strolling right now [13:26] *scrolling [13:27] hansisolo, Aha.. Your on to something there. The /home/bytezero/ is encrypted.. [13:27] brb gonna try a few things [13:27] dakab, so, there you have your problem :-) [13:28] hansisolo, yes.. Nice! Thank you so much. It's been bothering me! :-D So first time i login the partition is decrypted and then SSH process can find the ".ssh/authorized_keys" ?! [13:30] shaneo, damn man why do you think that happened [13:30] scared the heck out of me [13:30] I probably should have several copies of that file [13:30] and perhaps learn how to encrypt [13:30] dakab: the first entry under "Troubleshooting" may be of use to you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [13:31] sw0rdfish, you could use Ubuntu cloud to store it [13:31] sipior, Excellent.. Why didn't i think of that ;) Thanks alot. [13:32] ubuntu cloud you say.... I don't like the idea of cloud... you store files in a group of servers belonging to someone else [13:32] and they have access to it...etc [13:32] belonging to Ubuntu [13:32] regardless if its a profit or non-profit organization. [13:32] sw0rdfish: Welcome to the 21st Century. [13:32] :) [13:32] is it fre? [13:32] free*? [13:33] trust me Ubuntu Cloud will save your ass [13:33] yes 5GB [13:33] damn 5GB for millions of ppl... haha they must be rich and cool :D [13:33] rich prob not cool very :) [13:33] sw0rdfish: Most people only use a few MBs at most [13:33] so they overprovision like crazy [13:33] any of the admins can just have a look at files stored by users there though... still sucks... [13:34] what would be the recommended file system for a production server under linux on a >20TB raid5 setup? [13:34] in any cloud network I mean. [13:34] sw0rdfish, as long as you dont have some sketchy shit on there your good to go [13:34] I'm used to setting up ext4 for daily usage, but it has a limit at 16TB [13:34] gvandeweyer: jfs should be fune. [13:34] lol [13:34] gvandeweyer: fine, even. [13:34] sw0rdfish: ever heard of encryption? anyway, don't worry, no one will give a crap for your data :P [13:34] gvandeweyer: depends on the average size of files, how much you care about corruption vs performance, what model of read vs. write.. etc [13:34] large filesize typical around 20GB per file [13:35] sw0rdfish, you could use gpg to sign and encrypt the file [13:35] or asc [13:35] with corruption is not tolerated :-) [13:35] crizzy, hehe... yeah thats what I said I'll learn how to encrypt and store the file in several places here on my machines and wALA! [13:35] I read xfs is more mature than jfs, does that still hold? [13:35] youll have to trust the cloud eventually its going to be everywhere [13:36] gvandeweyer: not especially. [13:36] gvandeweyer: i mean, you were going to put ext4 on it until just a few minutes ago, right? :-) [13:36] the hell with it shaneo [13:36] shaneo: I highly doubt that. Consumer hard drives are still the cheapest datastores by far [13:36] sipior: yes [13:36] shaneo: And they only keep getting cheaper. [13:37] +1 uictamale :D [13:37] shaneo: Need offsite-backup? Buy one for your parents :) [13:37] lol. [13:38] lol damn i just got hammered [13:38] Enh, I see a lot of sentiments like yours lately.. especially when I'm trying to determine what I want to do with my own data [13:38] the allure is definitely there [13:38] but if you have 100s of GB of important data (for me it's photos), there really is no comparison to just buying two $50 external hard drivers. [13:39] err drives. [13:39] sipior: worked like a charm. :) [13:39] dakab: good! [13:39] I spammed the super key (hide/show unity panel), so unity-2d-launcher gave up and crashed. How do I start it again? [13:39] Salve, qualcuno parla italiano?/Hi, does someone speak italian? [13:39] gvandeweyer: Looks like ZFS is your best bet for large files. [13:39] yeah thats true i only use cloud right now for storing stuff for school other than that i have a truecrypt encrypted exthdd that holds all my data my actuall hdd contains nothing but what the system needs [13:39] running unity-2d-lancher in my terminal will hijack the terminal [13:40] !it | giuseppelamalfa [13:40] giuseppelamalfa: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[13:44] zul_: iirc, you don't put a space between -u and -p and the user and password. i.e.: mysql -ufoo -pyourpass [13:44] I was wondering if anyone could take a look at my dmesg results here http://pastebin.com/NFpuA5AJ if you look nearer the bottom you see things like "rtl819xU:Firmware Download Fail!!a" I was wondering if that is anything to do with my wirelessa nd why it does not work I would really appreciate if someone with more knowledge than me could take a look at my dmesg results and let me know if them errors at the bottom are anything to do with my wi [13:44] reless not working [13:44] if i want to run a *.sh file [13:45] ./file.sh [13:45] adminextreme: go to the file's directory, and then type ./file.sh [13:45] adminextreme: also be careful running random .sh files [13:45] well usuially it's just ./.sh [13:45] providing it's set executable [13:45] adminextreme: if you're trying to install software, check the repositories first before doing things like that [13:45] this looks absolutely bada$$ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#In-place_ext3.2F4_conversion [13:45] Does anyone here use btrfs ? [13:45] trying to install a conky script [13:46] anyone any ideas about my dmesg results? [13:48] how do i check which driver my wireless card is using? [13:48] Nublet, iwconfig gives anything? [13:49] bluefrog iwconfig gives this now http://pastebin.com/2U60C1Nd [13:49] it displays wlan0 but it still does not let me connect to any wireless connection i click my wireless icon and it does not detect any wireless connections :s [13:49] nublet ok read this. should solve your problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/595455 [13:49] Launchpad bug 594248 in linux-firmware (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #595455 Installed a USB WiFi device dmesg reported: rtl819xU:request firmware fail!" [Low,Triaged] [13:50] thanks ill look now [13:50] Nublet, especially the svn.debian.org part to copy/install the requested file [13:51] ok, I am trying it now :) thank you [13:52] guys, I am getting a 404 not found on this --> Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages <-- [13:52] why ? [13:52] it's not a valid URL [13:52] Nublet, and if it's working, consider doing a bug report against it [13:52] huh ? "sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU" my dmesg shows RTL819xu ... am i ok to go ahead with them instructions? [13:52] this is in a ubuntu LTS installation.. why would there be a mirror thats a deadlink ? === smile is now known as Guest47679 [13:52] Kingsy, there's a space in that URL in a place where no spaces can be [13:52] Xabster: where do I find that to change it? also what do I change it too ? [13:52] that's why [13:52] Nublet, i see SU [13:52] where did you see that URL? [13:53] oh yeah [13:53] lol [13:53] huh ?

[13:53] Guys, my 11.04 is very slow in copying files(compaired to windows). Is it normal? Do anyone have the same problem? [13:53] Kingsy, ignore me [13:53] what do you mean ? [13:54] i get 404 on that url too and i dont know how to fix it [13:54] Nublet, that's your card [13:54] Kingsy: i don't believe you can have ppa.launchpad.net enabled generally, you need a specific ppa repository. you can ignore that error, or if you want to make it go away you can remove the relevant entry from /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [13:54] so I am ok to follow that sudo command ? [13:54] and them instructions ? [13:54] LjL: ok [13:54] Nublet, yes. reboot once everything's done [13:54] Janith, Perhaps the partition to which you are copying is almost full? [13:54] ok, thanks a lot for your help ill install it all now :) [13:55] when trying to run startup.sh I get invalid configuration file /home/adminextreme/.conky/conjyrc1 [13:55] Nublet, the worst thing afterwards will be your card is not functionning.. [13:55] LjL: I cant find that url in either sources.list or in any of the files in sources.list.d/ [13:55] Nublet, which is already the case. [13:55] where else could it be?

[13:57] Sidewinder1: yeah, nearly. Most of them have less than 1GB. Is that the reason? [13:57] bouma: as in bittorent links/? [13:58] Anyone know wireshark? [13:58] turns out the error is coming from http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/php5.3/ubuntu lucid main <-- what shoudl that be? [13:58] I suppose I could just remove that .. I don't even use nginx so I don't know why thats there [13:58] Kingsy: ah i see, that repository is currently empty. [13:58] carl__: Don't ask to ask, just ask. [13:58] Kingsy: did we not talk about this yesterday / [13:58] Kingsy: no idea, but it can't hurt removing it [13:58] Kingsy: you wanted php-fhd or something [13:59] ikonia: we did? actually I vaguly remember.. [13:59] I have php-fpm installed [13:59] Kingsy: that's it, php-fpm [13:59] man, I totally forget [13:59] how did you end up doing it ? [14:00] we looked at the PPA and it wouldn't work as it had too many conflicts [14:00] ikonia: I already have it, installed.. I cant really remember [14:00] hello [14:00] but hey it doesnt matter, I have removed the mirrpr [14:00] mirror === ISOcrates is now known as ISOcrates|away [14:00] Kingsy: you must know how you installed it as you where looking at a PPA/manual compile yesterday [14:00] Kingsy: did you use the php5.3 PPA we found yesterday ? [14:01] ikonia: I think you are talking about someone else, I did this months ago [14:01] well at least 1 month [14:01] Kingsy: pretty sure I'm not [14:02] Janith, Yes, that's what I suspect. Personally I don't like to occupy more a than 50%-70% but my machine is an antique; about 10 years old. :-( [14:02] Kingsy: a ppa is not a mirror, a ppa is some joes idea of a fun add/change/revision to the official package [14:02] Hi [14:02] What's the lighest web browser you can think of? [14:02] ikonia: well it was a while ago so I really cant remeber where I got php-fpm from [14:02] back, bluefrog it didnt work I clcik on my wireless icon and where it should show the wireless connections it says "Device not ready" :( and my dmesg still gives me firmware download fail also it says "rtl819xU:ERR!!! _rtl8192_up(): initialization is failed!" [14:02] pythonsnake elinks [14:02] Kingsy: fair enough, must not have been you, [14:02] almoxarife: yeah, sorry [14:02] any ideas why it didnt work what we tried :( [14:02] +gui* [14:03] pythonsnake midori [14:03] I'll try it thanks [14:03] hmm ok i was able to share all of the root of my drive ('/'). However when browsing it from my PC I am able to access everything except /home/username is there a way to allow guest access to all user folders? [14:03] tbh I wish I could go through and setup php-fpm again, I really cant remember how I did it, I just blundered through it.. tbh I don't even know how I did it [14:03] does a MHEA28-XSC PCI-E express Infiniband Host Adapter have native support? [14:03] * Kingsy shruggs [14:04] Nublet: what did you try? see the very last command shown on that longggggggggggggg winded link? [14:04] Nublet: is that what you tried?

[14:08] hello. is /var/run cleared automatically during boot process? [14:08] well I followed the part below "Instructions for people new to linux to get this to work:" and it didnt work... [14:08] but I see the comment at the bottom about it being in the wrong location...want me to try them commands and restart see if it works? [14:09] Nublet: no, I would want to see first if it is indeed in the wrong location first [14:09] how do we see that then? [14:10] carl-eric, have you tried ~/.local/share/applications ? [14:10] hansisolo, no I haven't. I've been searching the web for information about where to put this but found *nothing* [14:11] Nublet: use nautilus to locate this '/lib/firmware/RTL8192SE' [14:11] hansisolo, I seriously think that this needs to be documented and preferably a GUI for it ;-) [14:11] found it almoxarife [14:11] carl-eric: the alacarte is a gui for.t [14:11] Nublet: as shown above? [14:12] well I went to '/lib/firmware/RTL8192SE [14:12] dr_willis, I tried alacarte, and I just saw it actually put its desktop files into .local/share/applications - but the Unity dash is not seeing them [14:12] and yeah there is a RTL8192SE folder with 3 .bin files inside [14:12] carl-eric: askubuntu.com has some.info.also on launchers and .desktop files [14:13] Nublet: cool, now open a terminal and copy paste this > sudo cp -R /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU [14:13] ok [14:13] it may need a logout.

If that's not it, then what is? [14:14] carl-eric i havent followed, you want to add custum launchers to the unity bar? [14:14] i tend to use a gnome menu indicator applet. so alacarte works for me there [14:14] MonkeyDust, yes exactly [14:15] MonkeyDust, the aim is to have some launchers that start programs with some parameters [14:15] carl-eric here's how you do it http://danielj.se/2011/04/28/how-to-add-a-launcher-to-the-unity-launcher-bar/ [14:15] <`Korvin> hey my kubuntu partition is failing to load the gui [14:15] you can make a .desktop file anywherr i thought. then drag it to tbe launvher [14:15] how do i dl a tar.gz from remote ssh?

[14:23] also i've set up FTP and for some odd reason i have a user who tried to upload less than 1GB and it took over 6 hours... any reason anyone can imagine that FTP would take this long? [14:23] MonkeyDust, followup to that: What if I don't want the application to stay in the launcher and just to be found in the dash? [14:23] yeah I copied and pasted exactly what you said [14:23] i [14:23] <`Korvin> well ikonia, if stop/start didn't work, why would kill be any different? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [14:24] i have a 100mbps download and he has a 25mbps upload [14:24] Nublet: what type of usb wifi is it? [14:24] `Korvin: start/stop might not actually *kill* the process, if the process is nonresponsive killing the process and starting it manually might work [14:24] I dont know [14:24] <`Korvin> derp, I'll try it [14:24] so i should have been able to download alot faster [14:24] its built in, inside the nettop [14:24] the actual nettop is a MSI Wind Box dc100 [14:25] It seems to be pretty sealed up to, like no screws etc so dont fancy my chances of cracking it open to try find the wifi card to see what model it is lol [14:25] carl-eric try just adding it in ~/.local/share/application, without dragging it to the launcher === asma is now known as Guest26496 [14:26] MonkeyDust, that's where they already are - alacarte put them there. yet unity dash doesn't see them [14:27] Nublet: what version of ubuntu? [14:27] carl-eric strange, no further advice, maybe someone else knows [14:27] 10.4 LTS [14:27] Hello dear nice guys, I need some help to set up a ssh-server (default would be sufficient for me) on my ubuntu machine (fresh installed Ubuntu 10.11). I can ssh to a machine let's call it B but I can not connect back per ssh from machine B to my machine. It always tells me: "host blubb port 22: Connection timed out" where blubb is the hostname of my machine. [14:28] Aufwind: apt-get install openssh-server [14:28] Ok I am new. Very confused and not technical. Not even sure if I am in the right place.... [14:28] EvilResistance, Already did that. :-) [14:28] Aufwind you need both ssh server and ssh client [14:28] Aufwind: make sure you have the ports open, and make sure you're specifying the right IP [14:28] but am trying to get a new os onto a laptop [14:28] Jaybird, Just ask and we'll see what we can do.. [14:28] default works fir me [14:29] EvilResistance, the command (I did some googling before) `sudo service ssh status` yields: ssh start/running, process 966, that means ssh server is ready, right? [14:29] Hi all [14:29] Aufwind: yes [14:29] OK my acer aspire 6930 - windows died. Acer want to charge £52 I do not have for their restore disk. [14:29] EvilResistance, I installed Gufw and disabled the firewall. Same results. [14:29] Aufwind: yes, on machine B, how are you trying to connect to machine A? [14:29] Aufwind: try ssh localhost [14:30] (A being the machine you're having issues with() [14:30] My friend thinks it is possible to install a free os and then get into the hd ( I know I will have lost anything not backed up and don't care) [14:30] dr_willis, ssh localhost works fine. [14:30] It seems that I have a problem of permission with java plugin for firefox [14:30] EvilResistance, by ssh myloginnamne@myip [14:30] Jaybird: yes [14:30] I went to the ubuntu site and downloaded what I thought was the os [14:31] Aufwind: are the two machines on the same network, or separate networks? [14:31] Jaybird, you can use a livecd to make a backup of your drive first (if you have a place to back it up) [14:31] Jaybird you need the .iso [14:31] but when I try to open it it says that the free version is expiered [14:31] expired... [14:31] pos [14:31] EvilResistance, same networks. connection from A to B works but not the reverse. [14:31] When I run Firefox under root I have Java plugins enable (seen in about:plugins) whereas I run it under the install user Java is not enabled [14:31] EvilResistance, Sorry for my horrible english, I am no native speaker/writer. :-) [14:31] Any idea ? [14:32] Jaybird ubuntu 11.10 ? [14:32] Aufwind: you're speaking quite well :P [14:32] Jaybird: all ubuntus are free [14:32] EvilResistance, They should be. Since the machine B is sshable from machine A. [14:32] almoxarife, you think this is something I am going to have too much trouble with? Its something I should just leave and maybe buy a cheap usb wireless adapter that works with ubuntu? [14:32] or do you have anymore ideas? [14:32] well that is odd..I have the whole thing burned to a disk and it tells me it is no longer free [14:32] Jaybird: what did yiu fownload exactly [14:32] EvilResistance, Thank you [Sir, Madame], for this compliment! :D [14:32] oh dear....what did I get [14:32] Jaybird, ubuntu is free and never expires, you need this file http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=latest [14:32] hang on === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [14:32] sorry it is hard to keep up will be back in a mo with the info [14:33] Nublet: I think I would get the current ubuntu, at least 11.04/11.10 and try installing it [14:33] Where can I find info about performance with ATI GPUs in Ubuntu? [14:33] Any ideas, what I can check next? [14:33] use the link above if you got a 32 bit mschine Jaybird [14:33] Anyone able to assist with an apache question by chance? [14:33] Hmm ok, I think I will leave the wireless for now I really dont like Unity or Gnome 3 :( === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [14:33] ok I downloaded ubuntu 11.10 desktop [14:34] Aufwind: on machine A, can you do ssh localhost, and see if it'll work? [14:34] EvilResistance, I did and it works great! [14:34] I can use a wired connection, I will maybe try the next LTS of Ubuntu when it is released and see if the live cd of that works with wireless [14:34] Jaybird 32 or 64bit? 32bit runs on any hanrdware, 64bit only on 64bit hardware [14:34] hmm [14:34] Jaybird: where does it say expired at [14:34] hang on and will open it and tell you [14:34] thank you for your time though [14:35] EvilResistance, Isn't it the case, that if machine A can acces machine B by ssh, then it is not a "network/router config problem? And machine B should be able to access machine A by SSH, too? [14:35] Nublet: live dangerous, install 12.04 plasma-desktop [14:35] Aufwind: not necessarily the case [14:35] live dangerously: get married [14:35] lol ubuntu with kde? [14:35] Aufwind: random crap happens XD [14:35] wierd it says "roxio this version has expired." [14:35] Aufwind: gimme a sec [14:35] oh....is that the burner and if so...why did it burn the cd??? [14:35] lol MonkeyDust, marry did not work for me xD [14:35] Jaybird, your CD authoring software has expired [14:35] EvilResistance, Sure! [14:36] got hopelessly rejected last year lol >.< [14:36] what's roxio? [14:36] that was too dangerous for my liking :P === ISOcrates|away is now known as ISOcrates [14:36] ok can anyone tell me what to use to author the cd - that would make sense. I assume I can find a new burner then burn the download I have again? [14:36] Nublet: oh dear, perhaps you need to stick to 10.04 [14:36] lol [14:36] maybe [14:37] Jaybird, wht not just use what you currently have? [14:37] Nobody could help me ? [14:37] because it has expired [14:37] dime01 start by asking a question [14:37] Jaybird, and? give it your credit card number [14:37] I am sorry I find the fact there are so many conversations going on a bit confusing [14:38] !who | Jyothis [14:38] Jyothis: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:38] * Pici fails [14:38] I would not give something I downloaded my credit card unless I had checked it was genuine [14:38] !who | Jaybird can make things a little more readable. [14:38] Jaybird can make things a little more readable.: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:38] MonkeyDust Its already done [14:38] Jaybird: Just prefix your message with the person you are talking to, and the person who is talking to you will do the same. [14:39] ah ic. like this [14:39] Pici, Beat 'ya. ;-) [14:39] Jaybird: aye [14:39] MonkeyDust, When I run Firefox under root I have Java plugins enable (seen in about:plugins) whereas I run it under the install user Java is not enabled [14:39] Aufwind: can you do sudo iptables -L, and pastebin the output? [14:39] dime01 are you using sun-java or open-java? [14:39] ok [14:40] dime01: under 'root'? because? [14:40] Aufwind: i want to make sure its actually clearing the firewall [14:40] Aufwind: because i'm getting mixed results on my test machine here [14:40] MonkeyDust, Humm I made the install manually [14:40] Hi, using 11,10, I am addin a new monitor to my laptop but unable to set it to highest config.

[14:40] MonkeyDust, using sudo sometimes [14:40] EvilResistance, Sure, give me a sec. [14:40] dime01, IMHO running FF with root privileges is not the best idea.. [14:40] <`Korvin> didn't work EvilResistance / ikonia [14:41] amoxrife : yes using sudo to install manually [14:41] <`Korvin> I even installed gdm to see if thatd work [14:41] So can anyone tell me what to use to burn the cd to get the ubuntu working..windows vista home [14:41] Sidewinder1 : what is IMHO ? [14:41] <`Korvin> in my humble opinion dime01 [14:41] I know that! In my humble opinion... [14:41] dime01, In My Humble Opinion. === Ph0b0s is now known as Genk1 [14:42] Jaybird better ask in ##windows (double #) what windows programs there are [14:42] fooey, i have class shortly... Aufwind, i'll still take that pastebin, but i might not get to it immediately, i have to disappear over to class :/ [14:42] is that a chat room or what? [14:42] Thks all, but It's why I ask this question [14:42] dime01, But, as my wife says, sometimes my advice is worth exactly what I charge for it. :-) [14:42] Jaybird yes [14:42] dime01: so it's a test machine and you are using root and a user account to .......... stuff? [14:43] How can I do to use Firefox with java without launchiing firefox under root [14:43] ah do you have a link it is years since I used a chat thingy [14:43] EvilResistance, Still there? [14:43] Jaybird type /join ##windows [14:43] Thank you all [14:43] Thanks [14:43] Aufwind: for the next 6 minutes, or so, yes, but i'm out the door in 6 minutes, wont be back until I get my wifi back on campus [14:43] Jaybird, FF should run java just fine without running from root. [14:44] EvilResistance, If you want I can login back later on. [14:44] Jaybird don't say it's for ubuntu, just tell them it's for a cd or dvd [14:44] almoxarife : Im a web developper, I just install ubuntu (5 days), and I encountered problems using an applet [14:44] EvilResistance, If you could tell me a time. [14:44] Aufwind: no, i'll take the pastebin now [14:44] EvilResistance, http://codepad.org/uslslbDi [14:44] it takes 3 minutes to walk to campus, another minute to turn on the wifi xD [14:44] So I try several things install / uninstall java / firefox [14:44] apparently Adobe Flash 11 has native 64-bit support, but where do I find and install it? [14:44] EvilResistance, Ah, I undestand. ^^ [14:44] and I'm using Google Chrome.. [14:44] and Now I can run this fuc**ng applet [14:44] what is FF? [14:44] firefox === beejeebus-afk is now known as beejeebus [14:45] oops, wrong nick; sorry. [14:45] But only using firefox under root [14:45] Aufwind: in Gufw, Add > Simple > Allow In Both 22 [14:45] <`Korvin> EvilResistance, any idea? [14:45] FF=Firefox. [14:45] Aufwind: the firewall is still enabled, so its blocking traffic [14:45] ok thank you I am off to try that. [14:45] hope its not to OT: short question about kernel compiling. can i compile a intel atom kernel on a intel core2duo or will gcc automatically optimize it for the cpu its running on currently? [14:45] <`Korvin> I'm guessing its the nvidia driver that isn't letting it boot up [14:45] Zaitzev: try "about:plugins" in google chrome. you may already have it. [14:45] So at the end, I Installed java using this tuto : http://blog.tersmitten.nl/archives/829 [14:45] sipior: i don't. [14:45] EvilResistance, Allow in anywhere 22? [14:45] Aufwind: (Gufw is a graphical frontend to ufw, which is an "uncomplicated firewall" that uses iptables as its base, hence why I asked for iptables -L) [14:45] Where can I find info about performance with ATI GPUs in Ubuntu? [14:46] sipior: I have the version 10, and it simply stopped working for me [14:46] Aufwind: yeah that'll work [14:46] dime01 java is in the repos / software center [14:46] Zaitzev: and you're running the latest chrome? [14:46] user82, you can compile a kernel for any architecture using any architecture so long as gcc supports both architectures [14:46] EvilResistance, those entry was already there... :-/ [14:46] sipior: yes I am [14:46] Aufwind: really? === esm_ is now known as emorisse_lap [14:46] EvilResistance, Yeah!22 ALLOW IN ANYWHERE and ... ANYWHERE(v6) [14:46] pfifo, how can i tell gcc to optimize it for intel atom(or will it automatically be done when i choose "intel atom" as cpu type in the kernel config) [14:46] and now MonkeyDust : Yes I know but with this version firefox crashes when it try to load the applet of my website [14:46] user82, thats too OT [14:47] EvilResistance, FROM [14:47] Zaitzev: ah well, you might try here: http://www.ubunturoot.com/2011/07/how-to-install-flash-player-11-beta-for.html [14:47] TO ACTION FROM would be the legend, I mean. :-) [14:47] right ok [14:47] EvilResistance, I hope you understand. ^^ [14:47] dime01 so you ruined your pc for just one custom applet to work? [14:47] Aufwind: you're using the advanced one to set that *shrugs* Yeah i do. Do me a favor and uncheck the "Enabled" tickmark in Gufw [14:47] then try to ssh from box B to box A again [14:47] EvilResistance, You mean switch to off? [14:48] sipior: I would assume removing Flash 10 first is good, but how do I do that? (and to answer the obvious question, yes I am a Linux-noob) [14:48] mhm, just to test [14:48] to make sure its not Gufw being stupid [14:48] MonkeyDust : lol yes you can say thah but this applet is the heart of the web application Im working on [14:48] (if turning of Gufw fixes this, then Gufw is being stupid) [14:49] Zaitzev: shouldn't be necessary. [14:49] EvilResistance, does not work... :-( [14:49] EvilResistance, ssh: connect to host my_ip port 22: Connection timed out [14:49] sipior: not even for the sake of keeping the system somewhat clean? [14:49] Aufwind: pastebin the output of sudo netstat --numeric --programs --listening --verbose | grep ssh [14:50] * EvilResistance is temporarily offline while in transit [14:50] hello [14:50] EvilResistance, http://codepad.org/RoAve8zb [14:50] EvilResistance, Here you go [14:51] EvilResistance, Seems like weard stuff to me. :-) [14:51] Where can I find info about performance with ATI GPUs in Ubuntu? [14:52] Last I used Ubuntu with AMD/ATI cards, performance was very bad [14:53] ppl can someone tell me how to install google earth on gnome or send me a link [14:53] :) [14:53] Hi, i installed a .deb package, but i don't know how to open the application in it [14:54] Got a lucid server that I have set up a static IP on. Yet, the machine still gets a new IP .. presumably from DHCP. What could be doiung that ? [14:55] <`Korvin> can anyone help me? my nvidia driver is preventing my desktop manager from starting [14:56] milligan, most likely you setup your static IP in the wrong place [14:56] hmm /etc/network/interfaces has always done the trick before.. [14:56] giuseppelamalfa_: you can use dpkg -L to show you where the deb put files. dpkg -L packagename [14:56] hey [14:56] ive just installed ubuntu. its my first time away from windows [14:56] milligan, if your using netwrok manager then thats wrong [14:57] how to i install stuff:o [14:57] pfifo, I didn't install network manager.. is that something that's gotten included by default .. ? [14:57] And then what? [14:57] hi. ubuntu 11.10 is supported until...? [14:57] tnx all for helping [14:57] milligan, why not just look and see if its running? [14:57] faLUCE: April 2013 [14:58] i downloaded xchat and its a .rpm file [14:58] what is .rpm and what do you do with it [14:58] sipior: Even though it says "Browser: Firefox" on the Adobe Flash Player 11 download page, it will work with Google Chrome? [14:58] Pici: Then what should i do? [14:58] Pici: after this date, repositories will not be manteined? [14:58] what happens? [14:58] <`Korvin> Fraz, you can install xchat with apt-get [14:58] pfifo, no process named anything with network, manag or mgr running [14:58] <`Korvin> sudo apt-get install xchat === Comradephate|afk is now known as Comradephate [14:59] whats apt-get [14:59] !eol | faLUCE this should explain things.

[15:00] How i can create a shortcut to an application installed via .deb package? [15:00] I don't understand what "End of Life (EOL)" means [15:00] pfifo, not installed [15:00] guys, I have an executable I've compiled on ubuntu 11.10 but need to run it on 10.04. I've used ldd to determine necessary shared obj files and copied each of them into its directory, and then I've tested it in chroot to make sure those are all it needs (adjusting LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly). However, when I run it on 10.04 I get a segmentation fault. Is there something I've missed here? Is it because 11.10 uses a later version of gcc? Something else? [15:01] faLUCE: Did you read the links there? [15:01] faLUCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-life_(product) [15:01] jbwiv: run gbd against it to get a better idea [15:01] milligan, paste bin your /etc/network/interfaces [15:01] Pici: sorry, I read only the first one [15:01] faLUCE EOL means it is no longer supported, no updates anymore [15:02] hi,mic not working in ubuntu 11.10 [15:02] ikonia, you mean gdb? [15:02] hey all.. I have ntp installed and it's running, but my computer keeps drifting pretty far. I just ran ntpdate and it was off by over a minute. Any ideas?

[15:03] Peppe01: I don't know, what are you trying to run? [15:03] i wanted to run bit.trip.runner [15:04] i know where are the files, but i don't know how to run it [15:04] not that "installing" flash player 11 did anything... [15:04] * Zaitzev gives up === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [15:05] Zaitzev what was your initial question? [15:05] Peppe01: Can you pastebin the output that you got? === esm_ is now known as emorisse [15:06] MonkeyDust: Adobe Flash stopped working in my Google Chrome browser recently, and I mentioned Flash 11 which has 64-bit native support. I THINK I have installed it now, but it's still not working.. [15:06] Hello guys, I am having trouble connecting to Ubuntu server via ssh or webmin. [15:07] ikonia, if I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH that way, even gdb segfaults [15:07] MonkeyDust: In chrome://plugins it says "Flash - Version: 11.1 r102" yet I can't play flash videos on for example metacafe === bitmonk_ is now known as bitmonk [15:07] Zaitzev if it's for Youtube, try this http://www.youtube.com/html5 [15:07] !webmin | BrandonBolton [15:07] BrandonBolton: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [15:08] I've just booted the live on an x96 tablet which has an accelerometer/g-meter in it - how might I go about identifying it? I can't seem to see anything that might be it in lsusb/lspci [15:08] After coming out of suspend, the top bar (whatever they're calling it these days) is pixelated corrupted. HOw do I reset it? [15:08] MonkeyDust: And to add to my confusion, it looks like flash is "loaded" or whatever. The area where the video is showing doesn't show a "flash is not installed" message.

[15:09] pfifo, even before I installed webmin? I couldn't even ssh into it. [15:10] BrandonBolton, you should reinstall, leaving webmin out, so that it is a supported configuration [15:10] yayz [15:10] pfifo, alright I will try that right now. [15:10] thats irc installed.... [15:10] now why is my mouse sensetivity so high [15:11] its on the lowest in the settings [15:11] Peppe01: http://paste.ubuntu.com [15:11] Zaitzev I use Chromium, works fine, maybe this link helps http://www.thewwwblog.com/install-flash-player-google-chrome-browser.html [15:11] hello [15:11] MonkeyDust, uh, that's for windows [15:12] AND it's Flash 10 [15:12] Zaitzev correct I was too fast ;) [15:12] and I'm not using Chromium === root_ is now known as johnjacobjinger [15:14] MonkeyDust: I also have libflashplayer.so in /opt/google/chrome/plugins (the new one from the Flash 11 tarball) [15:14] i'm not being able to find any bug report that resembles the problem i'm experiencing. In 11.10, sometimes after i minimize and maximize a window i "loose" the title bar and close/max/min buttons. It appears that the whole window is shifted up and the tittle bar is overlaped by the top panel. Any ideas how to correct this? [15:14] how do i open a terminal [15:15] Aufwind: i wanted to make sure SSH was listening for connections :P [15:15] How do I reset/restart the top bar in Unity? You can see what it looks like here.. http://min.us/mSC4Dk23q [15:15] Fraz: click on the Dash-button, type in terminal [15:15] cheers [15:15] Aufwind: given that its listening for connections on port 22, and given that you can SSH in locally on the box itself, i'm thinking its something in your network blocking it, at least locally [15:15] Zaitzev I only find help for old flash and ubuntu versions, or for chromium, maybe someone else has better advice or you should use chromium to get things done [15:15] either that, or your firewall is being stupid [15:15] izinucs: Try unity --reset in terminal [15:16] leOn: does menu bar and buttons reappear if you hover at the top end of the screen? [15:16] is a Mellanox MHEA28-XSC PCI-E express Infiniband Host Adapter natively supported? [15:16] it's stupid if I have to change a browser to get something as dumb as flash working. [15:16] Since #flash is unavailable then I'll ask here: Where can I find old Adobe Flash browser plugin versions (for Windows and/or Ubuntu)? === gvo is now known as JimXL [15:16] Pessimist: adobe.com ? === JimXL is now known as gvo [15:17] Pessimist, actually i think its macromedia.com, look in the developers section [15:17] Pessimist: why do you need the old versions again? [15:17] Zaitzev: Thanks that worked.. took a while and I thought it was logging me out because of all the screen changes .. but thanks :) [15:17] Pessimist: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html .. [15:17] izinucs: np :) [15:17] Jyothis: don't think so ... i'm only able to correct it after i double click right under the top panel, since it resizes the window and them i double click it again to maximize. [15:18] O hmm. thats odd. [15:18] Jyothis: seems as if the title bar is going right under the top panel, when it shouldn't [15:18] Ok. does that happen for all windows? [15:18] EvilResistance, welcome back. :-) [15:19] EvilResistance, What would you suggest me doing? [15:19] hi .. my fresh Ubuntu installation was working great till I rebooted and now I am stuck at the grub> prompt.. why would that happen and how can I fix it [15:19] Aufwind: standby, fixing a lag issue on my end [15:20] nishttal2: what happens if you press enter? [15:20] gvo, i get the same grub> prompt back [15:20] and i'm not the only one experiencing this .. a colleague of mine says it's happening the same thing with him. As for which windows .. maybe it's beacause it's what i use more .. but i do see it happening more with chromium-browser and the terminal windows. More with chromium, actually. [15:20] is a Mellanox MHEA28-XSC PCI-E express Infiniband Host Adapter natively supported? [15:20] nishttal2, did you installl using a liveUSB ? [15:21] gvo, when i press TAB.. i get a screenfull of commands i can choose from [15:21] pfifo, yes [15:21] Ok leOn. [15:21] pfifo, however, i was able to reboot several times without issue.. [15:21] EvilResistance, Sure! [15:21] nishttal2, you might have put grub's config files on the usb by accident, hell you might of installed the whole thing on the usb. try plugging it back in and see what happens [15:22] Jyothis: from what i know we're using stock setup, with unity, etc [15:22] pfifo nishttal2 good point, did you have the usb plugged in when you rebooted? [15:22] Ok, all updates applied? [15:22] leOn: ^ [15:23] gvo, pfifo I have 2 disks and setup RAD0 on 2 volumes (grub was installed on this) and RAID 1 on other 2 volumes (no grub on this) [15:24] gvo, pfifo no everything was installed on md0 (RAID0 drive, with sda1 and sdb1 as underlying disks) [15:24] type in boot at the grub prompt [15:25] nishttal2, do you have /boot as a seperate partition on a non-raid device? [15:25] Jyothis: yep, to the day ... i also notice that if i minimize->maximize a chromium window i get the overlaped top panel. If then i change focus to another window with alt+tab and return focus again to the chromium window with alt-tab, the title bar is correct [15:25] pfifo, no i dont [15:25] <`Korvin> EvilResistance, I was able to get the gui working, heres what I had to do: [15:25] What distro? [15:25] pfifo, gvo i dont have any partition that is NOT RAIDED [15:25] nishttal2, is thei sofraid, fakeraid or realraid? [15:25] <`Korvin> kill [k|g]dm uninstall nvidia driver, install nvidia driver start kdm [15:25] pfifo, gvo software raid [15:26] Aufwind: i'm unsure what to do at this point, it could be anything interfering with your SSH connectivity, outbound blocking on machine B, SSH not properly listening on port 22 on Machine A (unlikely per the netstat) [15:26] so apparently the "shift up" is only happening on the initial redraw of the maximizing window [15:26] nishttal2, for soft raid, a non raid /boot is REQUIRED [15:26] pfifo, gvo.. i used the alternate ubuntu disk to create/configure raid [15:26] hey all.. I have ntp installed and it's running, but my computer keeps drifting pretty far. I just ran ntpdate and it was off by over a minute. Any ideas? [15:26] pfifo, gvo REALLY?? wow that must be it then.. why would it let me install without complaining??? [15:26] nishttal2 / pfifo - I had a similar issue and had to force installer to create a 100 MB /boot by hand to get things really starting for 11.10 [15:26] EvilResistance, I understand, the outbound blocking could be checked id I tryed to log onto my machine(A) from another machine C, right? [15:27] nishttal2, grub is not running properly because it doesnt know anything about RAID, and its configs are on the raid [15:27] Jyothis: didn't put your name on the last message, hope you don't miss it =) [15:27] nishttal2: what distro? [15:27] pfifo, Jyothis aaah.. man i tried installing 3 times with the same issue.. now I know [15:27] gvo, 11.10 [15:27] leOn: saw that - sounds like a bug :) [15:27] nishttal2: OK what happens if you type "boot"? [15:28] yes I fix it !!!!! [15:28] pfifo, Jyothis, gvo so do i need to reinstall the whole thing OR is there a way i can repartition?? [15:28] gvo, i dont have access to the box at the moment.. will try once i reach home [15:29] nishttal2, you could, copy the /boot on the raid to a suitable place. its probably more trouble than its worth if you dont have any daya to preserve yet [15:29] I went with a reinstall as I didnt have patience to try fixing it on the fly and I dont count myself an expert in that [15:29] As pifo says it's not nice to run /boot part on anything other than a normal partitions. [15:29] EvilResistance, sshing my machine from a machine C does not seem to work either [15:29] nishttal2: I'd start over. [15:29] Jyothis: just tried on a bunch of windows, it's happening with them all. It's not application specific [15:29] EvilResistance, drives me crazy, I hope I am not bugging you. [15:30] gvo, pfifo.. OK but is there way to boot up for now.. so i can copy some data back [15:30] Ok, I would say if you cant find a bug, file one :) [15:30] nishttal2: use a live distro [15:30] uictamale: do you have ntpd setup/running? "ps aux | grep ntpd" [15:30] nishttal2: use sysrescuecd [15:30] nishttal2: maybe a boot or do what Jyothis says. [15:30] nishttal2, no, but you can use a liveCD and then mount the raid by hand to copy /boot [15:30] Aufwind: then the issue is Machine A. [15:30] zykotick9: yup. [15:31] Aufwind: if you can, can you do me a favor, and (1) disable Gufw, and (2) do sudo iptables -F [15:31] then try [15:31] leOn: Ok, I would say if you cant find a bug, file one :) [15:31] <_Marcus> Is there a changelog for mysql-server anywhere? [15:31] gvo, pfifo, Jyothis, leOn : ok thanks guys.. btw.. does /boot partition mean i install the OS on there or just boot loader? [15:31] EvilResistance, sure, You are the one who is doing the favors here. ;-) [15:31] <`Korvin> I have an HDD with ubuntu on it, I need to get a file from /home/derp, however, my home dir is encrypted on that hdd, how can I access those files? [15:31] nishttal2, I myself use encrypted root, and i have my /boot burned to a CD for security, you could do the same [15:32] nishttal2: boot only [15:32] Jyothis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/107787/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-is-there-a-way-to-fix-the-maximize-window-malfunction [15:32] nishttal2, /boot is only your kernel/initrd and grub's configs [15:32] Kor cryptkeeper? [15:32] looks like it's something prior to 11.10 [15:32] hey i m unable to start vmware workstation 8.0.1 in kernel 3.2.1 any one help me ??? [15:32] nishttal2: when you set up partitions just make a /boot and a / partition, the install will take care of putting the right stuff in the right places [15:32] EvilResistance, disabling Gufw by this Gui-thing? Switch to Off? [15:32] leOn: ok, good to know [15:32] pfifo, encrypted home is another can of worms... i will often have to remote in to that box.. so then I would have to keep my private key in an unencrypted folder that defeats the purpose and is too much hassle [15:32] Aufwind: yes. [15:33] be right back, got to get some lunch [15:33] <`Korvin> droid-0854, would that decrypt the directory? [15:33] nishttal2, right, im just saying you 'could' put /boot on a cd even though your not using encryption, it will work for raid too [15:33] nobody got experience with accelerometers? 'find \sys -name position' returns nothing? [15:33] pfifo, yeah the only problem is I do not have a CD drive :) [15:34] EvilResistance, I disabled gufw but `sudo service ufw status` still yields `ufw start/running`. Is this ok or shall I disable the whole firewall? (If yes how do I do that?) [15:34] pfifo, i am doing everything through USB.. i guess i could do a USB /boot [15:34] pfifo, advising to put the boot other than the hd is out of the channels norm. [15:34] nishttal2, well a usb key would suffice (although since i do it for security a read only media is required for me) [15:35] Fyodorovna, what? [15:35] pfifo, were you asked for this info? [15:35] gvo.. thats good to know becoz that was my next question .. how do i tell the installer to put OS on / and grub on /boot.. thanks. :) [15:35] Hello, world! [15:35] do you see me?) [15:35] Fyodorovna, check the channel logs if you are wonder about the conversation [15:35] pfifo, Jyothis, gvo 100MB enough for /boot?.. more or less? [15:35] does anyone know answer to this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11759311#post11759311 [15:36] nishttal2: I have mine at 100 [15:36] pfifo, you were not you are just advising then when not asked. [15:36] I'm tried everyting to get extended desktop to work [15:36] Jyothis, 100 seems like a lot for /boot [15:36] hello here [15:36] nishttal2: this is alos linked to a bug with certain drive chipset [15:36] as far as I can remember [15:36] nishttal2, 100mb is plenty, the kernel image and initrd are small enough to fit on a floppy in most cases [15:37] pfifo, under a encryption it ios not needed, and under a regular install provides little protection. [15:37] 8is [15:37] Jyothis, pfifo, gvo .. i wish the installer was smart enough to warn me when i tried to install the bootloader on RADI [15:37] nishttal2: I left at 100 on a futuristic perspective [15:38] pfifo, Jyothis ok.. sounds good 100 it is [15:38] Fyodorovna, his /boot is on a raid LVM because of setup misconfiguration, he is looking for a way to make his system bootable, there is no non-raid partition available, do you have a suggestion? [15:38] EvilResistance, I deactivated the firewall by `sudo ufw disable`. Now I have to reboot. Back in 2 minutes. [15:38] pfifo, Jyothis, gvo i do have another compiz related issue.. its cosmetic but annoying me a lot [15:38] nishttal2: you are free to experiment with the size, but 100 was what I settled as a comfortable number - ymmv [15:38] anyone know how to fix the bug with vsftpd not starting right in ubuntu? [15:39] pfifo, raid is not my specialty, a lvm has a separate boot partition already I believe, my concern basically with was putting a boot off the hd is not really a norm, but what very few would do. [15:39] anyone have any luck getting vsftpd to run correctly? [15:39] <_Marcus> Sivik: I am running it fine. [15:39] _Marcus, what version? [15:39] . [15:40] I am getting an issue with terminating with status 1 [15:40] pfifo, Jyothis, gvo i enabled desktop cube, it works fine.. but when i rotate to the next desktop.. it shows windows from the last desktop for some milliseconds.. enough to cause a flicker.. does anyone know why that is happening [15:40] <_Marcus> Sivik: What do you mean? [15:40] pfifo, Jyothis, gvo.. does not happen on 10.10 that i run at work [15:40] what version of vsftpd and ubuntu are you running? [15:40] Fyodorovna, we need a temporary work around, so putting /boot on a cd is 1 way, until he said he dosent have a CD drive [15:40] EvilResistance, Back again! [15:41] pfifo, probably a setup that is not really needed overall I suspect, some will jump in without really understanding what thet are doing, oh well. :) [15:42] nishttal2: may be your graphics driver wants a coffee? :) [15:42] <_Marcus> Sivik: Ubuntu 11.10 and vsftpd.. well, I am still checking [15:42] Fyodorovna, I use it myself with my encrypted root, as you cant sneak a keylogger into an initrd thats on a readonly medium [15:42] nishttal2, its Intel's Sandybridge onboard driver [15:43] Jyothis, ^^^ [15:43] any ideas? [15:43] nishttal2: ok, did you check if it is a reported issue? [15:43] on how to get WAITING FOR HEADERS to finish?> [15:43] Jyothis, i dont even know how to articulate this :) [15:44] nishttal2: happens :) [15:44] In my ongoing effort to switch my windows workstation over to linux, I need something to manage MS SQL servers. Mainly just simple queries. I looked @ razor, its nice, but I don't think I want to buy it yet. [15:44] Can someone who is running Ubuntu 11.10 and Server version: Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) pastebin the output of the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf for me? I seem to have deleted the contents of mine and apache is failing to start with the contents of the Ubuntu one https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/apache2/2.2.20-1ubuntu1.2 [15:44] <_Marcus> Sivik: vsftpd 2.3.2 [15:44] _Marcus, I have 11.10 and whatever version of vsftpd is installed in the repos and here is the error I get when I try and start it: http://pastebin.com/iV3gyQR5 [15:45] EvilResistance, I deactivated ufw (status is inactive now) and tryed to login from the other machine. Same issue. [15:45] It is just a local development environment for Drupal and other sites [15:45] _Marcus, how did you determine the version and how did you instlal it? [15:45] I need to get virtual hosts working and I think I need some data in the httpd.conf file [15:45] elijah: you should be able to reinstall the package [15:45] <_Marcus> Sivik: I typed "vsftpd -version" to get the version number. I did "sudo apt-get install vsftpd" to install it. It was last year when I installed it though. [15:46] johnm: k, I can try that. is it apt-get reinstall apache2 [15:46] elijah: ie: apt-get install --reinstall apache 3 (iirc) [15:46] apache2* [15:46] Jyothis, question about the my RAID setup.. so I have 2 disks.. i create 2 volumes on each.. then setup RAID 0 on sda1, sdb1 and RAID 1 on sdb1, sdb2... wondering if I am getting what i hope for.. .. that if one disk fails, I would still be able to recover data from RAID 1 [15:46] <_Marcus> Sivik: Can you paste what you get when you type "ps aux | grep vsftpd" please? [15:47] Jyothis, sorry RAID1 on sda2, sdb2 [15:47] root@NAS:/home/sivik/vsftpd-2.3.5# ps aux | grep vsftpd [15:47] root 30382 0.0 0.0 9244 872 pts/0 S+ 10:42 0:00 grep --color=auto vsftpd [15:47] root@NAS:/home/sivik/vsftpd-2.3.5# [15:47] <_Marcus> Next time, pastebin it please. [15:47] sorry [15:47] http://pastebin.com/iV3gyQR5 [15:47] elijah, I went and looked at my httpd.conf and its empty [15:47] thats the messages in dmesg [15:47] nishttal2, that looks fine, but you dont need 2 raids, you can have singel raid contain 2 or more partitions [15:48] Sivik: do you have anonymous users using this FTP service, or is everyone that uses it also an acocunt holder? [15:48] Praxi: Very interesting! thanks a bunch for that [15:48] <_Marcus> Sivik: Is anything written to "/var/log/vsftpd.log"? [15:48] mneptok, anonymous is disabled but thats not even the issue. [15:48] hi... [15:48] pfifo, but i want one to be RAID0 for performance and another for RAID1 for reliability [15:48] Sivik: why FTP? [15:48] _Marcus, not, its empty [15:48] under ubuntu, i have the issue where i cant access subdirectories on my ftp server under the user ftpuser. i get 550 directory does not exist. what i dont understand, is why? cant be permissions. the home directory doesnt belong to ftpuser. and the upload folder doesnt either, but ftpuser can do anything to that folder [15:48] I'm running a openerp server through that apache, so I know its doing something, is it possible its getting info from somewhere else? [15:48] mneptok, what do you mean why ftp? [15:48] johnm: Thanks, I ran it and it went great, but the httpd.conf file was not updated so based on what Praxi said I think it ships empty [15:48] <_Marcus> mneptok: The issue he is having is that it wont start up and is terminating with status code 1 [15:48] i'd like to know, is there a way to download ubuntu packages ? i try to install some on a offline machine, i have to use a usb stick [15:49] nishttal2, your not going to get any performance from a sotfraid, you need realraid for that [15:49] Sivik: i mean "why use FTP when SFTP is far easier and also encrypted?" [15:49] I guess I need to figure something else out about why virtual hosts are not working then [15:49] btw, im using ftpdpro [15:49] no wait. im using pureftpd :) [15:49] mneptok, wow, i'm stupid, didn't even think about that. [15:49] elijah: it definately ships with content. Does the file exist - but it's empty? if so, remove it. Buit you should now have a httpd.conf.dist which you can copy in its place [15:49] pfifo, Jyothis so my rationale was to put everything on RAID0 and hourly incremental backups of everything to RAID1 [15:49] Sivik: sudo apt-get install openssh-server. done. [15:49] mneptok, thats way easier and I totally forgot you could do it without needing any additional software [15:49] yea, ssh is already running. [15:50] <_Marcus> Sivik: Are you using the newest vsftpd version? [15:50] Sivik: then all users need are accounts and FTP clients that do SFTP (e.g. Filezilla) [15:50] pfifo, yeah nothing beats realraid.. but i read somewhere that software raid0 would give better read/write than no raid at all [15:50] johnm: Yeah, it exists but is empty, i will remove it [15:50] mneptok, I just didn't think about using sftp [15:50] that makes too much damn sense. [15:50] duh [15:50] _Marcus, installing from repos, its 2.3.2 [15:50] but it doesn't matter [15:50] Sivik: problem solved. go remove vsftpd stuffs. [15:50] _Marcus, I will just use sftp [15:50] elijah: check there isn't a .dist version next to it now. If not, delete it and reinstall. [15:50] <_Marcus> Sivik: Well if vsftpd wont start up, how will sftp work? [15:51] _Marcus, cause ssh is already running. I just logged into sftp without any issues. [15:51] <_Marcus> Sivik: Oh. Okay [15:51] johnm: There wasn't a dist version, I deleted it, reinstalled and it did not put the file back [15:51] mneptok, too early, just not thinking well. [15:51] nishttal2, raid0 isnt going to provide any performance, raid1 will provide a bit better read performance under a few circumstances, neither provide write performance (use raid 5 for that) [15:52] johnm: What does yours say, if you have one? [15:52] Sivik: i asked that initial question because i see *tons* of people trying to install FTP without really needing it all. [15:52] mneptok, yea, I always forget about sftp [15:52] I should know better [15:52] Sivik: IOW, you hardly made an uncommon mistake. [15:52] i'm a darn admin for a large company after all [15:52] pfifo, so why would anyone ever do RAID0 [15:52] RAID0 = bad [15:52] elijah: let me see if I have an install - 11.04? [15:52] nishttal2, raid0 increases disk space [15:53] pfifo, sorta [15:53] johnm: 11.10 [15:53] pfifo, just allows one partition accross multiple drives [15:53] Sivik: "remote file access with end-to-end encryption has been anabled." <--- then point it out on the performance review. [15:53] Sivik, why is RAID0 bad? [15:53] ny one know where i can get the skype 2.1 package [15:53] cause its stripping and its not got any redundancy [15:54] almost nullifies the point of RAID [15:54] Sivik, yeah but I am backing up the RAID0 volume to RAID1 for redundancy [15:54] Thats what RAID10 is for [15:54] nishttal2, then you should just make one big raid1 [15:54] Sivik: no, because it gives you more space and faster access, so RAID0 is good for large filespaces, you don't need redundancy on [15:54] pfifo, problem is it RAID1 would have slow writes [15:54] SunTsu, yea, thats true but I personally thing its dumb to just run RAID0 [15:54] nishttal2: you can use LVM to do the job of RAID0 [15:55] nishttal2, raid10 is an option, but since you only have 2 disks, your not gaining any performance, you would need 4 disks for that [15:55] johnm: Nevermind, httpd.conf is deprecated, apache2.conf is where it is at now a ways - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5680993#post5680993 [15:56] pfifo, Sivik .. another reason i had setup this way is because the 2 disks I have are of different sizes.. 1TB and 1.5 TB [15:56] elijah, so I wasn't crazy! [15:56] mneptok: the one with all the "good" alternatives today ;) [15:56] so i have 850GB on each allocated to RAID1 and the remaining on each totals to 650GB RAID0 volume [15:56] Sivik: it depends on what you need. As long as you know what you're doing it's OK. I wouldn't count on RAID as "data security measure" anyway, RAID is good for keeping a server running in case of HD failure, but it daoesn't make backup obsolete anyhow [15:56] elijah: ah, explains it :) [15:57] SunTsu, yea, backups are always needed [15:57] We have customer that are like, We have raid, we don't need backups and then their raid fails multiple drives, full data loss [15:57] Praxi: nope, and neither am I (thank goodness), they left it there for historical reasons I suppose. [15:57] nishttal2, the slight performance you gain from a softraid isnt worth the effort your putting into this. [15:57] any ideas how to get rid of the WAITING FOR HEADERS stuck situation? [15:57] johnm and praxi - thanks for your help [15:58] pfifo, well i was thinking performance (if at all) was just a side effect.. main goal was backup/redundancy [15:58] Sivik: it's like a friend of mine: "Oh, I have a airbag, I don't need a safety belt" [15:58] is a Mellanox MHEA28-XSC PCI-E express Infiniband Host Adapter natively supported? [15:58] yea [15:58] "an airbag", of course [15:58] I know what you mean SunTsu [15:58] SunTsu: cute :-) [15:58] i may steal that. [15:59] nishttal2, redundancy is a real benefit of raid1, but the raid0 isnt redundant so theres no need for it [15:59] pfifo, yeah but RAID0 is helping my combine the disparate disks i have into 1 volume [16:00] nishttal2: look into lvm. [16:00] nishttal2, no its not, raid 1 can combine all the disks, without raid0 [16:00] How can I remove the Guest access? [16:00] And make it so only users may login [16:00] sipior: steal what exactly? [16:01] SunTsu: "Oh, I have a airbag, I don't need a safety belt" [16:01] Ca11um http://askubuntu.com/questions/28165/how-do-i-remove-the-guest-session-option-from-the-shutdown-menu#28167 [16:01] What program can i invoke from shell to view an image? [16:01] ok question about my ftp server, i think i found the issue. [16:01] diverdude: eog. [16:02] , but i have allow ftpuser, but deny all [16:02] 可以用中文吗？ [16:02] !cn | rice_ [16:02] rice_: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [16:02] is ftpuser being treated as anonymous? [16:02] diverdude: "display" is the classic choice. [16:02] diverdude: you'll need imagemagick installed. [16:02] sipior: it's something called "risk compensation", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_compensation - acting stupid because you deem to be safe [16:02] pfifo, raid1 doesnt need both disks to be of the same size? [16:02] If I may ask, is somone here an expert in setting up an ssh server on an ubuntu machine? I desperately need some help to figure out why I cannot login onto my machine (A) from an other machine (B) although I can login from machine A to machine B succesfully by ssh. [16:02] sipior, can you point me to a link that i can read up about lvm [16:03] SunTsu: i just found the quotation humorous. sorry i said anything. [16:03] nishttal2, you may want to make 5 500gb partitions and merge them all as a single raid5, then you make use of all the disk space, and get redundancy, and youll get more diskspace than a raid 1 would provide [16:03] sipior: thx [16:03] nishttal2: for starters: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/40702/how-to-manage-and-use-lvm-logical-volume-management-in-ubuntu/ [16:03] nishttal2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux) [16:04] sipior: er, no need to be sorry, that "acting stupid" was coined on that friend of mine. Do what you like with that quote ;) [16:04] pfifo, sipior mneptok thanks all good ideas.. i have some reading ahead of me :). [16:04] Ca11um this is less drastic http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/11/remove-the-guest-session-from-the-logon-screen-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ [16:04] nishttal2, actually dis regard that, if your 1.5 tb drive failed, it would ruin the raid [16:04] Thanks MonkeyDust. [16:04] can anyone help me with this issue? [16:05] pfifo, yeah i was thinking that.. ok thanks [16:05] nishttal2: negates having to buy RAID hardware or hope that the Linux drivers for said hardware are functional [16:05] Does Catalyst Control Center come by default with Ubuntu, if you're using an ATI card? [16:05] Ca11um: no [16:05] My friend can't seem to find it, he has a problem with screen scaling [16:05] overscan or somin [16:05] I don't recall installing it myself, but I have it [16:06] mneptok, pfifo sipior actually my motherboard supports raid.. but i am told thats fake raid and worse than what Ubuntu will do [16:06] Ca11um: is that person using the proprietary ATI drivers, or the FLOSS "radeon" driver. [16:06] The former [16:06] nishttal2, fakeraid support in linux is not very good === fiz0 is now known as fiz- [16:06] Ca11um: dunno if CCC comes with the proprietary drivers. i use "radeon: [16:07] nishttal2: my general feeling is: if you really want hardware raid, buy a decent high-end card. the crap on most motherboards does not really qualify. you'll likely have better performance, and fewer bytes will come up missing with software raid. [16:07] pfifo, if i setup a LVM.. can i have the /boot partition on there [16:08] Hey I need help, my Ubuntu doesn't show my USB Drive [16:08] nishttal2, no, /boot needs to be on a non LVM volume [16:08] sipior, no budget :-) [16:08] Hi, all. How do I make sure a service is going to start up when the server is restarted, sshd for example? [16:08] nishttal2: well, that makes your decision very simple :-) [16:08] nishttal2, softraid that your already using IS lvm [16:08] nishttal2: yes, you can. but it's a really bad idea as then you get into chicken/egg problems. [16:08] Last time I restarted my server, I couldn't ssh back in xD [16:08] pfifo, ok.. the wikipedia article is misleading then... The installers for the Arch Linux, CrunchBang, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, MontaVista Linux, openSUSE, Pardus, Slackware, SLED, SLES, and Ubuntu distributions are LVM-aware and can install a bootable system with a root filesystem on a logical volume [16:09] johnm and praxi - It appears httpd.conf isn't actually deprecated but just for user configurations - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2567432/ubuntu-apache-httpd-conf-or-apache2-conf [16:09] nishttal2: it's not misleading. because you can in theory, but never should in practice. [16:09] nishttal2, afaik grub does not support lvm, but I could be wrong [16:09] ok :) [16:10] EvilResistance, Dude, you deserve a cake or something. It works now. I don't now why, but something you told me must have delivered the solution. Thanks a loooot! [16:10] nishttal2: the booting kernel lives in /boot. that kernel knows how to deal with LVM. if it's on an LVM volume itself .... chicken/egg. [16:10] mgsk: run nmap against your server can show if it running the sshd [16:11] mneptok: the default ubuntu installer puts /boot on lvm. that's what initrd is for. [16:11] i betcha it was the iptables -F :p [16:11] rzx237: I want to be sure it's set up to automatically start. [16:11] anyways... [16:11] mneptok: in fact, i just did it ten minutes ago :-) [16:11] Can somebody help me with my Problem? Ubuntu isn't showing my USB-Drive [16:11] sipior: and it's a bad idea. [16:11] sipior, but if the initrd is on an lvm, chicken/egg [16:11] mneptok, i see.. i burnt my hands with this problem over the last 2 weeks.. ubuntu would boot up fine 2-3 times and then i would get a grub> prompt... now i know why [16:11] mneptok: you're mistaken. [16:11] <[[thufir]]> anyone get phishing attempts from #ubuntu users? very odd. [16:11] sipior: i assure you, i am not. :) [16:12] [[thufir]], report them in #freenode please === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [16:12] mneptok: well, at least you're confident in your ignorance. of course, that's the problem. [16:12] [[thufir]], for your free trial just enter your credit card details below [16:13] mgsk: I'm sure openssh-server put upstart info in /etc/init/ssh.conf [16:13] Is it possible to make Unity's urgent notifications (the wiggling icons in the launcher) stay urgent until I actually change to that window? Right now they wiggle for a second and a half, and if I don't look during that time I miss it. The faint glow that remains around the icon is almost unnoticeable to me. [16:13] mneptok: perhaps you would care to explain why the ubuntu installer selects that as a default? what do you know that they do not? [16:13] How do I switch off rsyslog during the boot process and just let the contents of dmesg be saved? Am trying to boot ubuntu 11.04 in 44MB RAM VM. Tryiing to hit 32MB of RAM.. [16:13] mneptok: perhaps you should tell them. [16:13] <[[thufir]]> lol. no, it was odd. he was only logged onto #ubuntu, but really wanted my fb/gmail info. seems like #ubuntu wouldn't be the place to look for that stuff. [16:14] sipior: i have. when i worked there. but it's a d-i inheritance no one wants to dance with. [16:14] Will it be possible for me to get my Microsoft headset to work on Ubuntu? [16:14] Currently I cannot hear any sound whatsoever, as my monitor has no inbuilt sound [16:14] speakers* [16:14] cant seem to join freenode? [16:14] sipior: hence, myself and other Senior Ubuntu Support Analysts for Canonical always recommended against it, with the full blessing of the dev team. [16:15] set +i mode [16:15] op1um56, /join #freenode [16:15] my ftp server WILL work if i add each individual directory to conf to allow listing and downloading. how can i stop from adding 3000 directories to config? [16:15] Ca11um in a Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M [16:15] mneptok: and yet you made the installer... [16:15] your the best [16:15] thnank [16:15] MonkeyDust, I solved my earlier problem - create a launcher with alacarte, then navigate to the launcher and run it. after that unity's dash will find it [16:15] sipior: no, Debian did. as i said. [16:15] hi guys, need some help on citrix client ..anybody has ideas on the error like network dial=up is not connecting.. [16:16] carl-eric i'm glad alacarte did the trick => <3 alacarte [16:16] mneptok: ah, well they know what they're doing, at least. anyway, this isn't going anywhere. [16:17] I can't find package prism/xulrunner in oneiric, where is it going to? [16:18] carl-eric OT: about the only thing that keeps me from using Unity, is the absence of a notification area, where I can see radiotray and liferea [16:18] !citrix | zlynx [16:18] zlynx: For help configuring the Citrix ICA Client, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo === zomGreg_ is now known as zomGreg [16:19] Trying to open Facebook in Ubuntu 11.04.

Took me some days of configuring and tinkering to get to the level of features (not just usability) I had previously on gnome2 [16:22] Ubuntu had the wrong hardware set by default [16:23] MonkeyDust, any idea about the "urgent" icons? :-) [16:24] carl-eric nah, i use gnome-classic ;) [16:24] q0s, delete the logfile, most programs that create logs, only append to existing files, and if the file doesnt exist, then logging = disabled. Im 90% sure klog operates like this [16:27] pfifo, i did via console and "rm". but i recreated them and set the proper permissions. the wired thing is that "df" shows that there is still no free space. and i am sure i delete the right files ;) "baobab" clearly showed it [16:27] Sach UrB do either of you know a method of "test my current MTU settings"? I found where you can set it if ifconfig, but can't find and perference in ifconfig's output. couldn't find a proc for specifically mtu either :( [16:27] Please help my USB-Drive isn't shown by Ubuntu [16:27] q0s, are you out of inodes? `df -i` [16:28] pfifo, /dev/sda6 3276800 433327 2843473 14% / [16:28] zykotick9: I dont know, but i think this will help me too! [16:29] Sach: UrB then man page just references the setting of mtu [16:29] q0s, then something is using your diskspace, du program can be used to find out what is taking up so much space [16:32] pfifo, yeah. but i am using the gui application "baobob". its default in ubuntu and it showed me the huge 3 log files before. the wired thing is that baobob shows that there should be plenty of space but df shows its full. and the system feels as it is full. firefox is a pain currently. all at slowmotion. but the cpu is only at 20% [16:32] I found a page that describes a way to disable the tap-to-click functionality of my trackpad, but when i run the provided script, I receive this error: http://pastebin.com/yA5015Qz Which package do I need to install in order to make this work? [16:32] If I want to test the upstream kernel for a bug on my 64 bit system. What deb would I download http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.3-rc7-precise/ [16:33] q0s, I dont trus baobob, use du please [16:33] Hey, what's the least problematic way to install a newer version of something on 10.04lts ?

[16:34] MrSassyPants: 1st check if there is a backport (there probably won't be), 2nd go looking for lucid PPAs (and hope for the best) [16:34] The system shows me 4 choices [16:34] zykotick9, whats a lucid ppa [16:34] Which one should I install? [16:34] MrSassyPants: Lucid is the codename for 10.04 === q0rban_ is now known as q0rban [16:36] Good night [16:36] MrSassyPants: see "/msg ubottu backports" and "/msg ubottu ppa" for details. good luck. sometime "latest" of something isn't the best. [16:36] Nvidia version 173 or Current or actualizations post launch?? [16:36] I am confused === manu is now known as Guest34818 [16:37] kion, try the current === hari_ is now known as harikt [16:38] pfifo: thanks, what are the differences anyway? === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [16:38] pfifo: Can I change that in the future? :) [16:38] kion, between 173 and current, the current supports more cards. im not sure what the other 2 are [16:38] kion, yes you can try them all 1 by 1 if you like [16:39] pfifo: Ok thanks! [16:39] kion, but current should be all you need [16:39] kion: does one say "recommended"? [16:39] Hi Everyone, My ubuntu system is taking very long to load when I initiate it. I have installed bootchart and hosted the image here http://www.filedropper.com/races-t410-oneiric-20120310-1_1 . Is this the right place to ask these questions? [16:39] pfifo: Yes the one that sais Current [16:39] zykotick9, current is recommended (i use nvidia too) [16:40] pfifo, how do i limit the output to just show the files over ... lets say ... 1gb? [16:41] zykotick9: the problem with me is that I have had random X crashes with Nvidia drivers, and that was the reason I decided to do a fresh install! [16:41] Cannot access Facebook. How do I know if this due to bad mtu settings? [16:41] races: are bootchart images to large for imagebin (it is an image right)? i'm no help, but i would have been interested to see it - but captcha download, no thanks ;). [16:41] q0s, use sort to list by size, something like this du -chs * | sort -n [16:42] zykotick9: I will try version current, and not mess with downloading and installing the driver from Nvidias webpage as I did before. [16:42] Bruce___: by adjusting it lower from the router - if it helps, that was the cause [16:42] zykotick9: Will see how that impacts glxgears [16:43] UrB : Thanks, suggestions for how to do that? [16:43] q0s, actually to revers sort by size this is ideal du -cs * | sort -nr [16:43] kion: glxgears is a terrible test - but one i just all the time ;) [16:43] Bruce___: that depends on your type of router [16:43] s/just/use/ [16:43] usually it's fairly easy to find [16:43] zykotick9: the image is really big, that is why I uploaded there. I wrote in the ubuntu forum and posted the picture and it was impossible for people to read it. that is why I used that hosting place to put the picture. what other service can I use to show you the picture? [16:43] open the admin web page and look around [16:44] zykotick9: do you know a better test? [16:44] urB: do u mean my router ip address? [16:44] races: !paste suggests http://imagebin.org/?page=add for images, have you tried it? [16:45] kion: well, running somesort of demanding 3d application is one way ;) [16:45] maybe OpenArena and showing FPS.. or FlightGear! [16:45] kion: glxgears will be greatly affected by any hsync you might be running! [16:45] oh oh what does this mean? [16:45] I made my first icon theme, which is working fine, except that gimp.png is not being used by gimp, it's still using its usual icon. Should I name it something other than gimp.png? Or does gimp need to be told to use the system icon theme?

I'm having this weird issue with gnome-terminal on multiple monitors. It seems that when I maximize it moves the window to my main monitor, so I'm not able to maximize on my secondary monitor.

[17:29] Praxi, its fine to have gnome/unity/kde all installed at once, if its just the bootsplash your worried about you could research ways to change the `plymouth` settings [17:29] what is the safest way to upgrade kernel on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server edition? [17:29] RealKillaz, upgrade using the repos [17:30] safest backup and clean install hahaha [17:30] mainly just concerned because I can't launch dbvis or a libre office program, no errors on screen, it just goes away lol [17:30] Praxi, try running them from a command line and see if it gives any useful errors [17:30] i botched lts upgrade [17:31] Someone got an idea to following issue? I've got an lenovo thinkVision monitor, which is connected to my t420 thinkpad over the digital port - the monitor is detected by the system ( http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/vevt7702/Bildschirmfoto2.png ) but the screen keeps being blank. I've added xorg-edgers/ppa and made an update&&upgrade (after that, compiz decided to die, but with it deactivated everything seems to be just fine). [17:31] *and it's on natty [17:32] pfifo, alreday did.

What should I di ? [17:35] milen8204 in a Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M [17:35] barbadillo, u can copy you whole partition with gparted from the old to the new drive. .. [17:35] erg... [17:35] *your [17:35] :/ [17:35] darn [17:35] q0s, even if it is the boot partition? [17:35] I guess I have to install ubuntu all over again and copy my files from the other partition... [17:36] RealKillaz, or if you want that message to go away you can remove the meta-package that was used to originally install the kernel/landscape/etc [17:36] q0s, I mean, with grub and all the stuff [17:36] barbadillo, u just replace the actual harddrive with a new one? [17:36] MonkeyDust, thanks will try [17:36] q0s, not yet, I'm wandering how to do that [17:36] RealKillaz: or apt-get dist-upgrade; which is generally necessary when upgrading kernel metapackages since they install new packages [17:36] pfifo, can I run apt-get dist-upgrade without problems? [17:37] EpsilonSigmaUltr, what exactly is your problem? [17:37] I need to make my ubuntu partition bootable [17:37] How do I launch libreoffice calc from the command line?

[17:37] I am currently running the livecd [17:37] RealKillaz, supposedly, upgrading is meant to be safe and seamless, but im not going to say that it never has problems.

[17:38] cross your fingers, my drive check is at 99% [17:38] RealKillaz, fresh install is usually much easier than an upgrade [17:38] EpsilonSigmaUltr first install windows, then linux, windows tends to ruin every OS that does not start with the letters, W.I.N.D.O.W.S [17:38] EpsilonSigmaUltr, you can simply reinstall the grub bootloader: http://www.memorylack.com/2011/01/recover-ubuntu-grub.html [17:38] pfifo, in this case fresh install is not an option... [17:39] pfifo: dist-upgrade is not the same as upgrading to a new ubuntu version [17:39] ty [17:39] q0s, ok thanks I'll try [17:39] pfifo, maybe in the future when we have puppet etc installed... [17:39] goddamnit, I'll just buy an VGA-cable [17:39] >.> [17:39] yeah, Windows is a jerk [17:39] anyone find that "hdparm -S 244 /dev/sde" is no longer working? [17:39] barbadillo, there are tutorials out there which explain that in more detail, just google [17:39] damn proprietary display connectors [17:39] barbadillo, but it is very easy with gparted. [17:39] RealKillaz: and yes, generally not an issue, although you should always be careful when using apt-get dist-upgrade that it doesn't remove anything it shouldn't (but this is generally not a problem on stable releases) [17:39] MonkeyDust, EpsilonSigmaUltr: I solved a similar issue differently though - i have windows and ubuntu on different drives and simply select the boot drive with F12 on the bios post screen [17:40] Hi - I have configured my Logitech Marble Mouse according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Logitech_Marblemouse_USB (I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric).

[17:41] how would I mount my windows partition if I have a dual boot with win7? [17:41] reinstall hehe [17:41] nautilus?

[17:51] MagentoPycho: check the manpage for the exact syntax, it's somewhere close to that though [17:51] EpsilonSigmaUltr try the Live CD or pendrive, use gparted [17:51] kodez: so type "nautilus" in the dash and click on network [17:52] and what do I do in gparted?

I used python and I was trying to rebuild sources in order to have my activity inside it. [18:30] Armando: not specific enough [18:30] Lets see what else can I tell you to be as clear as possible. [18:30] Armando: i.e. make it so that I can recreate what you did [18:30] Maybe you could help me to provide specific informations needed. [18:31] I used dpkg-buildpackage. [18:31] If I try a make && make install, that goes OK [18:31] But I would like to get a .deb package. That is the point when I get the errror. [18:32] Armando: I normaly submit my code to github.com if I play with branches of code then others can see and partisipate in helping [18:33] sacarlson1: thanks so much. I will do that too so help will be easier to get. [18:35] jrib: any other suggestion? :) [18:35] Armando: make a diff [18:35] Strange...

[20:16] sschultz, err, thats not right [20:16] pfifo: when I "/etc/init.d/ssh reload" [20:16] this is in you house or your office work? === fraz is now known as fraz22 [20:17] curiousx, i am running 11 now [20:18] itaylor57: me too, but is beta [20:18] sschultz, I thought it gave instructions for restarting the ftpd. anyway, depending if your dameon is a real daemon or an inetd daemon, youll have to restart the ftpd, or xinted [20:18] trijntje: apt-cache show [20:19] pfifo: Ok. I never installed an ftp server/daemon though - just doing this through sftp so it's through ssh (or at least that's what I understand) [20:19] Sach: if you are in your house try this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [20:19] sschultz: unless you need anonymous access, stick with SFTP instead of FTP. [20:20] * mneptok gets deja vu [20:20] sschultz, that could be a problem, as you cant really setup a sftpd server without an... sftpd server [20:20] question about gnome- how do you get icons at the top of you screen such as mozzila and stuff? [20:20] pfifo: SFTP and all it needs is included with an ssh server [20:21] pfifo: Isn't that contained in sshd though? Sorry if I'm running in circles [20:21] pfifo: sudo apt-get install openssh-server <--- done. [20:21] <---- [20:21] hey [20:21] mneptok: If I'm using "OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd" could that be an issue with what I'm trying to do? [20:21] sschultz, mneptok ahh I see, I was thinking we were talking about 2 different server processes [20:21] sschultz: i don;t know what you're truing to do [20:22] mneptok: Trying to use this tutorial - http://library.linode.com/security/sftp-jails [20:22] how do I make my standard vnc server on ubuntu desktop only accept input but not send any video/image to the client? [20:22] please help! [20:22] mneptok: cool, thanks! Thats a lot faster than the software center [20:22] question about gnome- how do you get icons at the top of you screen such as mozzila and stuff? [20:23] sschultz: and what does not work? [20:23] Hi guys... I have an older computer and every so often, the CPU is running close to 100%.. I wonder if I were to buy more RAM, would that help my CPU to run cooler? [20:23] mneptok: Just the user i'm matching can't log in via sftp now - seems to connect and then immediately disconnect [20:24] sschultz: i've never set up jails because i trust my users and UNIX permissions, so i have no first hand knowledge. but undo the changes and see if it restores functionality? [20:24] mneptok: it does [20:25] StepNjump: no, just you will have more ram to keep in memory [20:26] sschultz: my guess is that the SFTP process reads a users .profile info, and tries to launch a shell that lives outside their chroot. [20:26] curious: done. still no luck... [20:26] mneptok: I'm a newb at all this but any suggestions as to what steps I should take if I need to set it up this way (ie. jail a user to a directory)? [20:26] how old is your PC ? what is its procesor ? and how many ram its do you have in these PC ? [20:27] sschultz: like i said, it's not something i have ever worried about. [20:27] Sach: paste some errors or some like that to see if someone can figure out what is the issue [20:27] hello i am using gnome 3 de and i am trying to install a custom theme and i have the extension installed and enabled but if i hover over the orange triangle exlamation point next to shell theme it says "shell user-theme extension not enabled" how to i fix this [20:28] mnetpok: Ok. Thank you anyway. [20:28] Hi, I've noticed when I hit F11 in Ubuntu, the topmost menu bar with File Edit View etc is still there, on GNOME with 10.04. Is there anyway I can have it default go away when I hit F11, leaving the open window to take up the entire screen space? [20:28] sschultz, I recommend using a sftpd daemon that isnt linked to system users and the actual file system [20:29] pfifo: Ok. Thank you for the tip. [20:30] sry i have to leave ya, cya =P [20:32] Is there a way to get the iced tea firefox plugin without openjdk? It messes up a java ERP I run every time I do it. === rymate1234 is now known as rymate1234|lazyc === rymate1234|lazyc is now known as rymate1234 [20:34] so my computer got shutdown improperly and now my sda hdd is all messed up. Gnome isn't running right and the computer's generally running like poop. Tried a Puppy Linux live CD to back up my files but that ran terribly slow too. Any advice on what I can do to copy files before I nuke it and install a new OS? [20:35] plytheman: Put the hard disk into another machine. [20:35] got it to work! don't know what was wrong but just retyped some things - maybe a typo or spacing issue [20:35] plytheman, Is your system running an fsck on reboot? If the disk is screwed up, chances are it needs a check [20:36] vlt: does it matter that it's my primary hard drive with my OS on it when it gets connected to another box? [20:36] BarkingFish: it ran an fsck the first time I booted it, now it's just hanging on even making it that far [20:36] plytheman: Not if you don’t boot from that disk. [20:37] plytheman, tried running it in failsafe mode? [20:37] getting "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!" before I even see Ubuntu loading screen === SaRSAeOL_ is now known as SaRSAeOL [20:37] vlt: cool, I'll try that later when I have access to another box if all else fails [20:37] plytheman: When a system from USB or CD runs slowly too, it doesn’t look like your hard drive is the problem here. [20:38] plytheman, are you seeing the blue screen at the start, where you could get to grub2? [20:38] BarkingFish: nope [20:39] Hi. In file "hosts" I cab redirect specific address resolve to specific IP ("addr->IP"), but can I do the same for "IP -> IP"? [20:39] vlt: the whole computer is kinda old and on its way out but I'm not sure what else could be wrong other than the OS getting corrupted [20:39] hm. I'd assume ubuntu is the same in respect of bootloader, and it's usually possible to select a different thing to boot in grub - for example, I get my kernel image, and a failsafe mode which drops you in at Init 1 (Single user) for maintenance [20:40] also I'm seeing an nVidia spalsh screen on booting which was never there before if that means anything [20:40] plytheman, is your motherboard battery supported? [20:41] I have seen boards which revert to their default settings if a battery goes flat, and you see all the bits at startup which you'd not have seen previously [20:41] supported motherboard battery? never heard of such a thing not being supported lol [20:41] yeah... that's been a long running issue now. Used to be find but for the past 6 months I've had to hit F1 to get past a message saying 'system voltage is low' [20:41] new battery time [20:41] yay [20:41] u can get one at batteries plus i bet [20:42] johnjacobjunger, I missed a comma. It should have said "Is your motherboard, battery supported" [20:42] oh lol [20:42] in other words, does your motherboard have a battery on it :) [20:42] sorry [20:42] np [20:42] what does @ in "drwx---rwx@" mean when listing all files? [20:42] hook it upto a car battery, then itll never go dead [20:42] mis understood [20:43] how do I install a proposed update? [20:43] plytheman, At first guess, I'd say that if you've been getting that message, your battery has now gone flat, and your BIOS / CMOS has reset to default [20:43] johnjacobjunger: think just changing the battery will help it start up right again? the first time I got to the desktop there were messages about (from memory) "gnome:program_list entry in config error. Ignore or Delete" or something along those lines [20:43] commas are important... it's the difference between "let's eat, grandpa" and "let's eat grandpa" [20:43] and there was no window decoration when I finally got my terminal to open [20:43] plytheman: prob cnt hurt [20:43] which is why you're seeing stuff you never had before, and when you replace the battery, you might need to reset your BIOS preferences [20:44] exit [20:44] yea unless your BIOS has it's own SD Storage thingy [20:44] like a CMOS Chip [20:44] a writeable CMOS chip tat is [20:44] that* [20:44] usually the cmos chip is powered by that battery though [20:45] yes but some CMOS chips have long term storage like an SD card [20:45] Hello, dawgs! I'm building a multiseat setup over 10.04 LTS, using GDM over XDMCP + Xephyr. I've already wrote scripts to start the Xephyr servers and connect them to the local GDM in port 177. The question is: how can i start the Xephyrs instead the X and GDM? [20:45] pfifo, which is why the bios resets sometimes when the battery dies :P [20:45] that way pulling the battery doesnt reset things like the bios password ans stuff [20:45] BarkingFish: but depends on the CMOS chip [20:45] some are actualy writeable and dont need a battery to "remember" it's settings [20:46] Yes, like an eeprom [20:46] and non volatile [20:46] yep [20:46] so would my battery being dead account for losing access to sda or grinding every operation to excruciatingly slow speeds? [20:47] no, but it might account for the fact that you have settings which weren't there previously, since stuff has defaulted [20:47] plytheman: try booting to an earlier kernel at the GRUB menu [20:47] what could be happening is your system is now trying to load with stuff that wasn't setup in that way when you installed [20:47] I have 12.04 and mplayer and kdenlive both crash the desktop(so you go back to the logon prompt) the very instant I try to play a video file. I have AMD gpu there is a fix for this problem but I can't find it. [20:47] BarkingFish: Linux (and most modern OSes) immediately discard what the BIOS tells the and query hardware independently. [20:47] Tigerboy, Try #ubuntu+1 [20:48] someone can give hints how to configure KVM in 12.04? [20:48] dboehmer, see what I just put above [20:48] and the topic [20:48] Barkingfish: ok I was wondering if this is the right one. [20:48] Tigerboy, It's in the topic :) [20:48] "For support with 12.04 beta, /join #ubuntu+1 channel" [20:48] BarkingFish, thank you for pointing to the obvious [20:49] Barkingfish: is the a preferred chat for ubuntu studio 12.04 [20:49] dboehmer, you're welcome. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to point to the obvious, by missing it :P [20:49] Tigerboy, for anything 12.04, it goes in there :) [20:49] mneptok: I just finally got something to appear on my desktop, but next time I reboot I'll try and get into grub [20:50] plytheman: gets you the GRUB menu [20:50] Ok ta [20:50] mneptok: cool, thanks [20:50] what's the command to get ubuntu to tell you which version it is , from the command line [20:50] ? [20:50] also, does it mean anything that now that I'm finally on the desktop my cursor is just an 'X'? [20:50] Pelo: lsb_release -a [20:51] hello, what's the syntax for defining multiple libraries in the LD_PRELOAD variable? [20:51] thanks mneptok [20:52] when I boot the minmal install cd all I get is a grub command line but what am I supposed to do with that? Am I supposed to specify some "root=" path or something?

Do you want to delet the applet from your configureation? Don't Delete/Delete" [20:57] ok thanks DJones [20:57] it isn't [20:58] rhin0: did you install the Google package? [20:58] yes [20:58] .deb [20:58] rhin0: google-chrome [20:58] rhin0: If I run chromium-browser in terminal, it starts chromium [20:58] ok thats it [20:59] Ins|de, most likely she same for specifying mutiple directories in PATH [20:59] rhin0: the package puts it in /usr/bin/google-chrome === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [20:59] pfifo, thanks !

[21:01] !classic | MarKsaitis [21:01] MarKsaitis: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [21:01] I keep getting this problem - wonder if it's because of the firewall here? [21:02] pfifo: by chance have you actually done this before? [21:02] !notunity [21:02] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:02] ClientAlive, yes [21:02] craigbass1976, sudo update-alternatives --config java [21:02] sweet. thx [21:02] craigbass1976, and sudo update-alternatives --config javac === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [21:03] what if I only want this for one user?

[21:07] MarKsaitis, i think lightdm is default in 11.10 [21:08] MarKsaitis: lightdm from 11.10 onwards [21:08] shell user-theme is not enabled ? [21:08] okey than you, will try running lightdm from putty [21:08] Hello, dawgs! I'm building a multiseat setup over 10.04 LTS, using GDM over XDMCP + Xephyr.

[21:09] so where do I disable that compiz for a specific user? :) [21:10] MarKsaitis, im thinking writing your own .xsession would be best, and setup the session as you see fit. [21:10] MarKsaitis: the gnome classic (no effects) option uses metacity [21:10] my specific account has no .xsession file in it by def [21:10] what is metacity [21:10] MarKsaitis: instead of compiz [21:11] omg ok :) [21:12] Hey guys [21:12] lightdm or lightdm-session [21:12] hey [21:13] Hello, dawgs!

I would like the latest version [22:17] from the cli [22:17] faceface: open the package manager, find the kernel packages, click remove [22:17] install gentoo [22:17] :p [22:17] faceface: run: uname -a and you'll see the running kernel [22:17] georgios_colleen: are you sure it doesn't work [22:17] Whiskey: if ( find / -name znc | grep znc > /dev/null 2>&1) ; then echo "Foo"; fi [22:17] I tried searching in the 'add remove apps' pm [22:18] georgios_colleen: I'd find it hard to believe it's in the repo that's been tested and it doesn't work [22:18] velko, NewWorld I use a PC [22:18] ikonia: I am sure... I installed it first [22:18] but didn'y find any kernels listed [22:18] Hi All, I'm running Ubuntu 7.10, and the server stopped working today, I'm segmentation fault (on boot up) and when I try to remove (rm) files it does the same thing. Anyone have time to help me? TIA [22:18] faceface: look for linux image [22:18] faceface: run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image [22:18] faceface: sorry, linux-image [22:18] GunClive: What info are you trying to find out about it? [22:18] ikonia: pianobar is a pandora CLI. it needs to be updated everytime pandora's protocl changes. it is not very surprising that it s out of date [22:18] ActionParsnip: ty [22:18] ikonia: ty [22:18] louish, unfortunatly 7.10 is no longer supported, you ned to upgrade to atleast 10.04 [22:19] NewWorld, the watt value [22:19] yeh [22:19] that works thx [22:19] faceface: don't uninstall the running kernel, or the package without the numbers, you can remove any of the others and get about 120Mb per kernel [22:19] !info pianobar [22:19] pianobar (source: pianobar): console based player for Pandora radio.

This will in turn make the if clause branch to the echo stuff. [22:19] louish: I'd wipe theold release out and clean install with Oneiric [22:20] GunClive: I remember looking this up. You have to get some elecetrical equipment to measure it apparently. There are no built-in monitors [22:20] georgios_colleen: that seems pretty up to date [22:20] nics you good at shell scripts? [22:20] ActionParsnip: why can't I uninstall the running kernal ;-P [22:20] ignore me [22:20] NewWorld, thanks. this explains my endless search [22:20] faceface: you can, its just not wise at all [22:20] I thought there was some magic command to trash old onese [22:20] ones [22:20] but thanks for the tips on how to list whats installed [22:21] Whiskey: Depends on the def of "good" [22:21] faceface: there probably is but I'd stick with the easy road so you have control [22:21] well, it doesn't work, so I'd like to try compiling from source.

[22:21] georgios_colleen: I'd very very strongly advise you not to do that unless you are very confident with what you are doing [22:21] yeh [22:21] i think that [22:21] georgios_colleen: if it's not working I'd log a bug against the package and talk to the master of the universe team (MOTU) to get the package updated [22:21] im not going to use that yet, was just something i might need leator :D [22:22] ikonia: I am very confident. I consider myself a poweruser. [22:22] Whiskey: fine [22:22] You see nics i got a relly enoying problem :D [22:22] GunClive: haha. You need to get some of those crocodile snippers to measure the wattage :) [22:22] georgios_colleen: ok, so why are you asking for help ? [22:22] If i do sleep 5 [22:22] then while the time is sleeping you you type anything on the keyboard [22:22] ikonia: just because I feel comfortable woth power doesn't mean I'm all-knowing :) [22:22] georgios_colleen: logging a bug so that any user gets the update would be the way forward [22:23] and you come in to a "read -p ' Enter your menu choice [1-3]:' -e yourch" <--- then the words you typed under the sleep comes there [22:23] ikonia: well there is still also the problem of why gnutls.h is not present [22:23] are it anyway to block or empty so it come up clean [22:23] ikonia: shouldn't it be there?

[22:26] night [22:26] the is ridiculous. [22:27] georgios_colleen: I asked if you where confident with what you where doing and you said you where, however you don't seem to know the basics of using the package manager [22:27] no it was installed via a VPS o gui [22:27] I need help, how do I run the mumble-server [22:27] to [22:27] georgios_colleen: I don't think I should advise you to install things onto yout machine that you are not sure how to use in this distro [22:27] I may not be familiar with Ubuntu, but I have been using Linux for years [22:27] Helpplz: ok, what is the issue? [22:27] could somebody please help out with a dual boot problem. I have no grub and upon trying to install one i screwed myself over [22:27] (EE) Xen Virtual Pointer: failed to initialize for relative axes. [22:27] Whiskey: Why do you want to do that? [22:27] georgios_colleen: however logging the package bug and working with the mainterers will get it fixed and I believe that's the way you should go [22:27] kaspir: post more info. [22:27] how do I copy a directiry structure wihtout copying symlinks in it ? [22:28] Or stated it the other way: Why would a user type sth. when a sleep is running? [22:28] nics, cuz its uggly if you type anything, and its comes in the menu [22:28] it shuld come up clean [22:28] sad that read don´t have that option [22:28] And why are you actually calling sleep? [22:28] ActionParsnip did you get the EE? [22:28] tomvolek: what do you mean exactly 'without copying symlinks'? [22:28] its for my notes, stuff that can be importent to read [22:28] georgios_colleen: https://help.ubuntu.com has a guide for the basics of using the package manager [22:29] wtf [22:29] cp -R doesn't normally recurse _into_ symlinks, it'll just make a symlink at the destination [22:29] georgios_colleen: it may help you get a basic understanding of how packages are installed/managed in ubuntu [22:29] Helpplz: yes, but I'm not sure of what it implys [22:29] georgios_colleen: that way if you compile something you'll make sure you don't cause a dependency conflict [22:29] NewWorld: after installing ubuntu, i had no grub so i found a thread containing a something i could do. it essentially installed the grub menu to sda5 but now when i boot all i get is a grub command prompt [22:29] when i do startx [22:29] ikonia: what do you think I do not understand? you are a binary based non-rolling release system [22:29] Helpplz: why not just use the OS as a server... [22:29] i get 3 ee reports [22:29] I have a directory structure, I want to moved these into svn . One of hte directories is a symlink to a direcotry full of files, I dont wnat to get those into svn [22:29] I need the GUI [22:29] Whiskey: You could call clear, but this will clear :P [22:29] well, I dont want to copy any files that is a synlink Random832 [22:29] yeh its not what i wonted [22:30] tomvolek: so it's okay if it creates a symlink there, you just don't want to copy the directory and the files inside [22:30] nics, can i pm you [22:30] right [22:30] tomvolek: Use svn:ignore [22:30] Whiskey: Of course [22:30] kaspir: did you try reinstalling with /sbin/grub-install ? [22:30] maybe it will help [22:30] NewWorld, File copy with filter: http://superuser.com/questions/35789/file-copy-with-filter [22:31] R3db3ard: wrong guy [22:31] my bad [22:31] tomvolek: cp doesn't normally copy stuff behind symlinks, but i don't know what svn does [22:31] I am nics, I am setting up the direcotry structure for svn in a temporary place. was going to cpy my actuall files into the Trunk directory of this temp place then import into svn [22:31] Si2100, you still here? [22:31] I nned the GUI for other users to remote too [22:31] cp -a [22:31] svn is a source control Random 832 [22:31] ...right, i mean i don't know what its symlink policy is [22:31] dicannamas Yeh [22:31] not what it is [22:31] NewWorld: No I'm affraid I've never dealt with doing anything grub other than picking which os to load so I'm not sure what to do. Can you link me to something to point me in the right direction [22:32] ok [22:32] Helpplz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1572007 [22:32] webnet check channels [22:32] Helpplz: what will they do on the remote system? [22:32] anyway, cp -a will just make a copy of the tree, any symlinks will still be symlinks [22:32] I'm not having thumbnail previews in Nautilus, although I have the correct configurations, I think. I just can see the previews with the space-bar (gnomesushi). Any help? [22:32] then you could remove symlinks ith find if you need to [22:32] Random832, svn is aware of symlinks [22:32] NewWorld: my main problem right now is figuring out how to get rid of that grub prompt though. I need to at least get to an os so my wife doesnt freak out [22:33] Si2100, you know...the problem is gone but i have a little thing in chrome...when i chat in a flash app and the typing and use the space bar then the screen jumps somewhere else...have you have a problem like that? [22:33] kaspir: Actually, can you pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:33] dicannamas, I use Firefox.. its much better =) [22:33] not much view and edit files [22:33] er, grub doesn't use menu.lst anymore [22:33] dicannamas err But ill have a look [22:33] Si2100, chrome is a lot faster [22:33] only a certain file [22:33] Meh [22:33] but it needs the GUI for this and openoffice [22:34] dicannamas its down to choice [22:34] hey ive got a new channel #talkbios were tryig to solve a toshiba bios issue come on over if you can help please [22:34] NewWorld: 1 sec [22:34] so we can install ubuntu [22:34] kaspir: Random832 said grub doesn't use menu.lst anymore :S [22:34] Si2100, you know what i meant?...when i type and use the space bar then the window go somewhere else [22:34] dicannamas iStrange [22:35] NewWorld: yeah said not recognized [22:35] i know [22:35] Helpplz: if you install openssh-server then can use sftp and allow users to edit files [22:35] kaspir: You should try booting into a Live CD, then in terminal: "man grub-install" - and use the program [22:35] kaspir, are you trying to change the default grub timeout so it doesn't show up? [22:35] dicannamas you could try updating Flash or Chrome ? [22:35] NewWorld: Ok ill give that a shot [22:35] Helpplz: they can use the editor on the client system and connect to the sftp using nautilus [22:35] Helpplz: much much faster [22:36] I require it via GUI [22:36] if in /etc/default/grub you set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET you won't get a boot menu [22:36] no im trying to get rid of a grub boot prompt and get a grub menu back [22:36] Helpplz: the GUI will be the client's OS on their machine [22:36] i understand that [22:36] didn't set anything besides sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt [22:36] but they want to be able to remote into the VPS at anytime [22:36] sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda [22:36] Helpplz: so why not do it that way, it will impact less on the server [22:37] Si2100, i will see what i can do...i dont know because flash...i dont have even a plugin install yet so...i may upgrade chrome but i have to also figure it that out lol [22:37] some1 said to do that [22:37] Helpplz: but you don't need to for your needs [22:37] kaspir: pastebin /etc/default/grub [22:37] they are not very technical [22:37] dicannamas Yeah Try installing Flash and Chrome [22:37] or trying a differnet Browser [22:37] I just need the GUI up and running [22:37] i have GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [22:37] on the server [22:37] Si2100, thanks you very much man [22:37] Helpplz: you don't need it for a file server at all [22:37] kaspir, the grub install command was wrong [22:37] Random: unknown command [22:37] Hi, I've noticed when I hit F11 in Ubuntu, the topmost menu bar with File Edit View etc is still there, on GNOME with 10.04. Is there anyway I can have it default go away when I hit F11, leaving the open window to take up the entire screen space?

Unfortunately I haven't had time to read all of the scrollback, and I need to leave now. [23:05] Mneumonic: in my experience, logging out and back in after deleting icons can clear that up, but i ditched unity over that issue === deadbabe is now known as irrumator [23:05] xmonad rocks :) [23:05] Random832 I have tried that, tried restarting also.

If someone could me a big favor and run the command on the same file and tell my why I don't see a result that would be appreciated. I am trying on the regular expression examples below that and they are not working either, everything works fine up until the -x exampl [23:35] elijah, does `grep -x boo a_file` work?

Check the contents of your a_file ... [23:39] Loshki: boot is in the file, -x is supposed to match the exact string correct? [23:39] elijah, ohh i see what your saying now, that is weird [23:40] /msg nickserv identify abakus [23:40] elijah: -x says to match the whole line, so I'd expect it only to match "boot" if it's on a line by itself...

Mine is gnu grep 2.5.4 [23:46] Loshki: That is good to know, it is odd though that the man grep page does say that -x should do that though [23:47] Loshki: 2.9, although 2.11 stable is out - http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=7132 [23:47] Loshki: I don't know how to install it with apt-get though [23:47] elijah, sudo apt-get install [23:48] elijah, its possible that the -x was only included so the unix/bsd scripts that use it would still run [23:48] webnet: Thx, do you know how to specify a different version? [23:48] elijah: so just for grins, what happens if you make your own file with the line "boot" inside it? Does it work then?
