[00:00] Hello. I am trying to increase the open file limit on my Ubuntu install by default. I have changed /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/pam.d/common-session ; /etc/pam.d/login BOTH have session require pam_limits.so written and uncommented. I have rebooted the server and still see 1024 when I do ulimit -n. Any ideas? === davlap is now known as davlaps [00:02] I can't right click on any files anymore, I also can't left click on the power button on top right, I can left click on files just not right click. Any ideas what is going on/how to fix? Would a restart be good? [00:02] Actually I can't click on any system menus at all [00:03] Hi [00:03] wassup [00:04] Is this the place to get help for ubuntu server? [00:04] I am noob so... [00:04] escott: disk utility says " SMART Status: disk has a few bad sectors" does that mean it's dying? [00:04] have a question about ubuntu [00:04] Zx432: either here, or #ubuntu-server [00:05] I can't even click the button to restart, is the command shutdown -restart? [00:05] starn, its not good, but the disk can usually remap a few bad sectors. in the end its a question of how paranoid you are about your data [00:05] starn, yes. do a backup as fast as you can. it might work a lot longer but your data is not safe on it [00:05] says "self-test failed" 4095 bad sectors" === pdtpatr1ck_ is now known as pdtpatr1ck [00:06] starn, thats a s-ton more than a few. that is a LOT of bad sectors [00:06] shutdown -r now? [00:06] have an application running on the background that I would want to edit [00:06] alright escott whats the easy way to clone ubuntu's partiton onto another hard drive and still be bootable? [00:06] On my server I have a Local loopback. The server is plugged in my router, since I only want it for internal use it shouldn't be a problem. [00:06] but cannot have on the lunc [00:06] Or should it? [00:07] can anyone help with that..? [00:07] starn, you could do a lowlevel dd, but i would think that a !clone together with a home backup is better. you dont want to copy invalid data to the new disk [00:07] juila, what is a lunc? [00:08] hmm escott apparently the hard drive has "airflow Temperature" errors [00:08] I meant luncher [00:09] starn, clean the dust out, but you may have already baked the drive [00:09] says the correct temp is 118f (i am pretty sure that's to hot) escott and this is a new computer... the disk is on. [00:10] escott: i'm going to try to run a test if i disappear it's because my computer froze. [00:10] juila, i still cannot understand what are you trying to accomplish. the application is already running. but you don't have a launcher for it. how this constitutes a problem to be helped with? [00:11] i want to make a script run on resume from a suspend. the script then promptly starts then stops how do i keep it running [00:11] please and thank you [00:12] velko the application is running on the background cos it supposed to be reminding some times which it does, now want to edit the timing but when ever I select it it wont open from the luncher [00:13] anyone know where i could find someone who can help? [00:13] juila, sorry. this still does not make any sense to me. ask the others. hopefully somebody will understand [00:14] grrrr [00:14] my x axis carriage is sticking [00:14] damn oillite bushings [00:15] hello?

[00:21] i want to start using a security keylogger in case my laptop gets stolen. one problem i have is it kills when going to suspend. i made a script to start it again when i resume. now i have the problem of it starting then four milliseconds later killing how can i fix this? [00:21] :) [00:21] no, but I assume that dolphin doesn't convert the ip to a host name and then lookup [00:21] pillboxing: -t needs a type after it [00:21] hello people , can you helpme with this panel problem please?http://imagebin.org/203347 [00:22] so I would do: [00:22] how come every hard drive i have that has Linux Partiton has "failed in the past" for temperature and says "disk has a few bad sectors" even if the hard drive is brand new?

[00:46] Shojo: if its just an app which you can run in dash, you can simply symlink the .desktop file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.conf/autostart folder [00:47] so there's no way of adding an entry to the fstab with guest permissions and set to all === shadowh511 is now known as GaP_Trixie [00:47] pillboxing: i'm sure there is, just nobody knows rigt now.... === GaP_Trixie is now known as shadowh511 [00:47] Shojo: what do you want to add?

[01:20] *tasksel [01:20] Pirsch: no suggestion come to mind? sorry... [01:20] zykotick9, ok, that's fine. Knowing I was doing it wrong is the first and most important step. Thanks. [01:20] Hello all! [01:21] I'm very-very new here^^ [01:21] any help with the grub problem please? :-( [01:21] help set up an hp50 emu ?? [01:21] wolfmitchell that's an option. [01:22] Pirsch: the mini install has a REALLY cool tasksel (choose what to install) at the beginning i was impressed [01:22] They are seperate options. Select and install them. [01:22] Pirsch: the colour was terrible, but that's another issue ;) [01:22] guys, how can test why I can't write to a mounted smb share? [01:23] wolfmitchell is Xubuntu good for audio/ video production though [01:23] zykotick9, is this the right place to start? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:23] Yeah. [01:23] Just get those. [01:23] network-manager asks for my wireless password every time even though i've checked "enable for all users" and "activate on startup" or whatever those options are called. on 11.10 [01:23] Getting those in tasksel even changes the bootsplash to the one Studio has. [01:23] wolfmitchell ok thanks for the help. [01:23] Welcome. [01:24] *Your welcome [01:24] guys i'm really strugling with grub2, any help? [01:24] itsmee, check the grub2 wiki [01:24] Pirsch: yes. Why doesn't that page mention USB? do you have a cd? [01:24] !grub2 | itsmee [01:24] itsmee: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I want to send the result of zbar, to make it act like a real scanner. [01:25] Hey guys, I accidentally installed Klipper before and then did a purge and autoremove after that but it only removed <1MB of the >160MB it installed. How can I uninstall the remaining KDE'ish packages? I have instructions here for removing most of the packages but for instance, I know qt4-docs were installed by manually inspection of the /var/cache/apt/archives folder and looking at all the *.debs downloaded in that time frame. [01:25] zykotick9, this isn't where I got the ISO image before. I'll start fresh. [01:25] bazhang, i can't find help in there, i have an specific problem that is not listed on those pages :-( [01:25] h00k are you there? [01:25] *oops "here" means this --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [01:25] itsmee, then you need to ask a very clear and specific question [01:26] Is there a way to remove all packages that were installed during a specific time frame? [01:26] I have a list of all the debs I want to remove [01:26] anyone here using PIDGIN? [01:27] Wilson2bw, whats the question === Richard_Cavell_ is now known as Richard_Cavell [01:27] pidgen is kool [01:27] bazhang: i tried to fix my grub trough an application listed on those pages, and i put something called the mbr on the windows partition, thinking that that would make the windows partition reappear on the grub. the thing is that now it says something like ''Mqar is missing'', and grub does not load [01:27] guys how can I get an error message for why I can't save a file on a mounted share [01:27] hi [01:27] what's a PPA?

[01:30] Good news everyone! I got a jump drive. =D [01:30] <[deXter]> You mean a flash drive? [01:30] Same thing. [01:30] hey bazhang where's your ole buddy idleone ? [01:30] <[deXter]> For a sec I thought you were talking about a ZIP drive. [01:30] can anyone help with a sendmail problem? [01:30] Been two days but finally got ubuntu reinstalling. ^^ [01:30] Wilson2bw, you wish support? then please ask a support question, here in the channel, not via PM [01:31] hiexpo, stay on topic, Please [01:31] I've always called it a jump drive, because it jumps files from one computer to another. [01:31] I call it a flash drive because it uses flash memory technology [01:31] Well I suppose if you want to be technical about it. [01:32] bazhang, any idea about the grub? [01:32] bazhang > im trying to use THIS channel in Pidgin . I am typing this with MozillaChat. [01:32] But that's like calling a wheelie bar a tuber wheel contraption or something. lol [01:32] anyone have any idea why emails are being received even if sendmail's queue is empty? [01:32] Just ain't as catchy [01:33] are not being received* [01:33] Except computer hardware is almost always referred to technically [01:33] itsmee, your issue is not at all clear, please go step by step through the grub2 wiki, then when you hit a step you do not know, or get an error, then pastebin that error [01:33] @Bazhang > I hate using this webbased chat.. It s hard to keep track of conversations [01:33] True. [01:33] CPUs aren't called GetStuffDone-ers [01:33] Wilson2bw, then use something else. [01:33] No but they are often shortened to processors [01:34] and Flash Memory Data Drives are often shortened to Flash Drives [01:34] Baz//. Im trying to use PIDGIN [01:34] Oh fine, be boring lol [01:34] instead of this webchat [01:34] Will do [01:34] <[deXter]> Wilson2bw, heh, I thought baz;// was a new protocol! [01:35] oh good my installation is done ^^ [01:35] My laptop lives again! [01:35] so guys [01:35] ya, I hate using this web based chat, rather be using Pidgin [01:35] hiexpo, reverts back to aircrack-ng & pentoo > forget ubuntu > bazhang is the boss [01:35] but it's not working [01:35] Wilson2bw, then learn some of the pidgin commands? #pidgin is here on freenode, and they're website (along with docs) is at pidgin.im [01:35] touch /media/LS/ab.iss gives an access denied error [01:35] /192.168.1.149/Scripts /media/LS cifs guest,uid=toby,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [01:35] Wilson2bw: In "account settings" add a new account, set it to IRC, and connect. Buddies > Join Chat > #ubuntu [01:35] that's the mount as it's defined, what do I need to change that uid to? [01:36] bazhang, shouldn't the default password of the live cd be a blank space, because it ask me for one and i hit enter but it doesn't accept it [01:36] ? [01:36] don't fuck with me bazhang [01:39] what's the default password for the live cd? [01:39] itsmee, there is none [01:39] itsmee, there is no password. [01:39] itsmee, where is it asking you for password? [01:40] the why does it says, ubuntu is not on the sudoers file, this incident will be reported [01:40] Faryshta, i am doing command line operations on the live cd to restore grub. i went to users, and added ''ubuntu'' to the sudo group [01:40] but still doesn't wotk [01:41] network-manager asks for my wireless password every time even though i've checked "enable for all users" and "activate on startup" or whatever those options are called. on 11.10 === CoilDoma_ is now known as CoilDomain [01:42] itsmee, I dont get you. The 'ubuntu' user have all the root permissions like installing software. You are not supposed to use 'sudo' AFAIK. [01:42] Faryshta, the why does it say that on the command line? [01:42] Faryshta, ubuntu is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [01:43] anybody got a minute? [01:43] can someone help me out with this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher [01:43] step 4, uh? [01:44] itsmee, which is the command you are using? === javijec is now known as JaViJeC [01:45] itsmee, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD#Setting_a_Password [01:48] Faryshta, any command in sudo, it won't work. my god, not even the password changer worked [01:48] my god! [01:49] maybe you're not a sudoer [01:49] itsmee, Try gksu instead of dudo [01:49] gmclean, i tried to manually add it, but it doesn't work [01:49] you have to use visudo [01:49] iirc === Jasonn is now known as juicy [01:50] haha, which you need root permissions for [01:50] anyone have any idea why sendmail wouldn't be sending email even though it is running? [01:50] i guess if you don't have root it's going to be pretty hard to obtain... [01:50] gmclean, to restore grub [01:50] well you want to do that offa cd anyway [01:51] gmclean, please somebody shot me cause i'm running out of ideas, the gksudo didn't work either [01:51] whoa you were shot!? you should go to a hospital! [01:51] i mean, i assume you're installing grub to the mbr [01:51] if that's the case you want to boot off cd [01:52] "try ubuntu" or whatever [01:52] open a terminal, mount your / partition, chroot, reinstall grub, grub-install and then update-grub, should be ok after that. [01:52] gmclean, i have to completely reinstall the grub2, don't ask why, just screwed everytginf [01:52] i think [01:53] i didn't ask why, although i will say that beggars can't be choosers [01:53] anyway good luck gtg [01:53] gmclean, yes, but we come to the main axioma, how do i get sudo privileges? [01:53] i'm philosophal [01:53] if you boot off cd you shouldn't be able to run sudo and i think the password can be left blank [01:53] what would be coool is if they could incroperate update manager into software center [01:53] if it even asks [01:54] you can just sudo -i [01:54] boom root shell [01:54] gmclean, i leave it blank, it doesn't work [01:54] gmclean, check out the output for the last command: ubuntu is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [01:54] What is a crontab entry for every 15 minutes on the hour. I thought 00/15 would work but it does not. 00,15,30,45 probably works, but ... [01:55] Is there a command like 00/15 that works? [01:55] lazarus_, it has already been done, i.e. synaptic lol [01:56] A wild Tux appears. [01:56] hey all [01:56] itaylor57: no i mean code software center to handle updates [01:56] hello I got an Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n I'm having issues to make it work with ubuntu 11.10, there are know issues with this hardware?

[02:11] omabena, run and like both... [02:11] so i've set up vsftp on my ubuntu server and anytime i try uploading a file to it, it seems to cap out at around 300kb/s any idea why this might be? [02:11] I'm thinking I might have to go a different distro too, unity is unusable for me, and kde can't use samba shares properly [02:11] First time I've used Linux on the desktop in years (been using it in servers for almost 20 years) - it's come a long way :-) Nice and quick on this laptop with a SSD, but have to reinstall windows7 on it tomorrow ;-( [02:12] Hey guys, I have an interesting problem. I recently built a new computer with a 2TB HDD (partitioned 1TB for Win8, 1TB for Ubuntu) and a 32GB SSD for Windows' System Reserved and Ubuntu's /boot. Except my computer doesn't boot into Grub, it goes straight to the Win8 loader. [02:12] Flumpy, did you check the bios? [02:12] Question - is there a way to set up Deja Dup so it backs up at a very specific time, instead of randomly once a day or once a week? [02:12] omabena, you may add "blacklist acer-wmi" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf,and restart your system [02:13] hopstafarian, yes, Grub is installed on /dev/sda which is the SSD [02:13] wiky, what that blacklist thing it's for? [02:13] and the SSD is first in the boot order [02:14] hey [02:14] what advantages does ubuntu have over windows xp? [02:15] If you're not interested in playing games, or doing work at home, everything. [02:15] omabena, i don't know clearly,but it solved my wireless problem.if it doesn't help,you can delete it [02:15] does anyone have stability problems that started to happen like week ago? - im using ubuntu 10.10 x86-64 - like screen is dimming so fast and no more response from pc - need to power off [02:15] talalala it's free for one, and no licensing costs, as well as open source [02:15] wiky, ok thanks I'll give it a shot [02:15] I'd like to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10 (with 11.04 in between if required), but Update Manager doesn't show the option (I assume because these aren't LTS?). Can I still do the old "aptitude dist-upgrade" or is that no longer considered good? [02:16] talalala and can do pretty much everything windows can do if used as a server [02:16] !upgrade | cn28h [02:16] cn28h: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [02:16] anyone using Pidgin/ [02:16] cn28h, I believe you type "update-manager -d" or something similar in the terminal [02:16] ? [02:16] cn28h: you might want to wait for 12.04 to be release and take advantage of LTS->LTS upgrade, if update now... [02:17] cn28h, yes you can still apt-get upgrade to 11.04 then again to 11.10 [02:17] WilsonBradley, whats the specific issue [02:17] I still use 11.04 [02:17] hmm [02:17] im using Pidgin 2.10.1 (libpurple 2.10.1) [02:18] WilsonBradley, any question in there? [02:18] and when I type in a channel the bottom text doesn't show [02:19] Hi guys, can anyone here please help me with an smb shaare issue? [02:19] Flumpy, cool, with -d it's offering me the 12.04 beta which works for me :D [02:19] not able to see what I type [02:19] hopstafarian, well it's not use the switch my wireless cards it's not supported on fedora either [02:19] but [02:19] in a direct chat in Pidgin it works [02:20] pillboxing, please ask your question. [02:21] hello? [02:21] jello! [02:21] Anyone Imn also haveing problems with Google [02:21] account [02:21] in pidgin [02:22] Does anyone have any ideas as to why Windows would boot instead of Grub (I installed Ubuntu after Windows)? Or should I just try something more drastic like uninstalling Windows? [02:23] Flumpy: grub dident get put on the same hd you are booting. it may have failed to load, windows av removed it.. [02:23] or booting the wrong hd.. [02:23] !qfixgrub [02:23] !fixgrub [02:23] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

Thanks. [02:24] hello guysw [02:24] you can also make grub install to a hd, and a spare usb flash. you could then boot the flash if needed [02:24] what is the rgba transparent background color? [02:25] What is a crontab entry for every 15 minutes on the hour. I thought 00/15 would work but it does not. 00,15,30,45 probably works, but ... [02:25] Is there a command like 00/15 that works? [02:26] donsd, * 15 * *? [02:26] !cron [02:26] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [02:27] hopstafarian, wouldn [02:27] t that be 3:00pm? === J-Mobi-J is now known as Jyothis [02:28] i always just have to google cron examples.. ;) i rarely use cron [02:28] donsd, yes...but asterisk for the rest, and 15 in the appropriate mins slot.. [02:29] dr_willis, I've been googling, but most examples show */15, which I do not think would be 00 15 30 45. [02:29] donsd, so 15 * * * */ [02:29] ? [02:30] try it and see i guess.. wonder if theres a cron simulator web site. ) [02:30] hopstafarian, that would be 15 after the hour only, I think. [02:30] donsd, or is it not every fifteen on the hour? [02:30] donsd, sorry, i didn't unnestand the question then.. [02:31] Does Grub generate log files that I could check from a live cd/usb to see if it's failing? === doctor^for^heart is now known as ahmed_tanvir === max is now known as Guest10893 [02:31] 00,15,30,45 * * * * xxx works. I was just curious. [02:31] Flumpy: not that ive ever noticed.. [02:31] */15 * * * * * should be every 15 mins [02:32] i'm using that all over the place [02:32] Flumpy: the grub installer can print out error messages if thats what you mean [02:32] masen, yes, but not exactly 00, 15, or is it? [02:32] dr_willis, no Grub installs fine to the correct hdd, Windows just boots instead for some reason. [02:33] Flumpy: check bios for av/mbr protection. also try putting grub o a spare small usb flash [02:34] Flumpy: what device are you installing grub onto? [02:35] donsd: interesting, i believe you are correct [02:35] specifying all of the times as you have will be exact [02:36] so guys, can someone please help me debug an smb share permission issue? [02:36] hello, windows has dissappeared from my grub 2 loader and i have tried a hundrer and fifty kabillion things but they don't work, help please (also, i have followed the forum page, but still) [02:36] masen I'm sure there is a command for say every ten minutes at :12, 22 etc. [02:36] dr_willis: /dev/sda, which is a 32GB SSD first in the bios boot order. All of Ubuntu is on /dev/sdb2 [02:36] zenith: you lost everyting. delete it and move on [02:37] Flumpy: if linux is all on sdb. you could put grub on sdb and tall bios to boot that. thats how i do it [02:37] donsd: it seems like 0-59/15 * * * * * would work as all [02:37] cookie: dont be rude [02:37] cookie, i haven't lost anything because i can see my windows partition still [02:37] from linux [02:37] dr_willis: oh...

[02:45] zenith: you made a custome entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? thats one way [02:45] danny: rm -f / [02:45] zenith: its mentioned i the grub2 docs also [02:45] in your ubuntu terminal [02:45] !grub2 [02:45] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [02:45] remember to use sudo [02:45] cookie: what does that do ? [02:45] * hopstafarian begs of in lieu of dinner.. [02:45] omg cookie get out [02:46] don't listen danny [02:46] danny, ignore him, he's gone [02:46] don't do that [02:46] i thought that looked like a very bad command [02:46] but if anyone has any suggestions im hear to listen [02:47] danny: i dont even recall the problem [02:47] danny: slower how? do pages load slower, or is browsing a loaded page sluggish? === very_blessed is now known as yo_mamma [02:48] bazhang, ty he was beginning to annoy [02:49] Question - if I am pushing a backup to my file server, would that file server be looked at as actively running? I'm curious... if I set it so my file server will suspend within 1 hour of inactivity... is that mouse/keyboard activity or does that include network activity too? [02:49] all internet activty is much slower like enough to know it has to be the os cause usually os realy doesnt have an effect on internet but on the same comupter in the same chair in my house when im on my windows side it runs fine but on ubuntu its very sluggish like sometimes tells me software center cant conect to internet and update manager wont conecnt and sometimes web pages wont load [02:49] are you connecting via ethernet? [02:49] nope wifi [02:50] Is it possible to grep a software and print oout the information [02:50] roasted: my best guess is to say no, network activity doesn't count === yo_mamma is now known as mia_shy_scriptin [02:51] hi, Ubuntu seems to throttle my CPU heavily instead of running the fans when my machine is under high load. I'm running 11.10 oneiric on a Thinkpad Edge laptop. I'm using the sensors command from lm-sensors to monitor my temperature & fan speed [02:51] Hello all. I was hoping you all could point me to a good guide for setting up an internet gateway using ubuntu 11.10. [02:51] Whiskey: how can i do that ? [02:51] Flumpy: bummer. I'm trying to find a way to get my file server to kick off after it doesn't sense any network activity for a while :( [02:51] danny: which version of ubuntu [02:51] the fans seem to run at a constant speed regardless of load, but the cpu gets throttled severely [02:51] masen: 11.10 [02:51] !ics [02:51] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [02:51] Thanks [02:52] roasted: if you have a router or some other box on the network, you could use a Wake on Lan approach to wake the file server [02:52] roasted: Like turn off? You could probably write a script to do that, but I wouldn't be the correct authority for that sort of magic. [02:52] masen: router doesn't support it [02:52] danny: try something like sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off [02:52] Hi, I'm new in linux/ubuntu, i'm trying to install this software http://keymouse.berlios.de, and I'm getting error when type ./autogen.sh [02:52] Flumpy: well, it'd be nice if I could control it to say, if no network activity (via rsync or samba moving data to it) for 15 minutes, put in suspend mode, etc. [02:52] danny: this will disable power management on the interface which may be causing issues [02:52] wake on lan never seems to wirk for me [02:52] someone can help? [02:53] dr_willis: what wake on lan utilities have you used? [02:53] Hello, I'm having trouble with my Broadcom driver, it wont load any pages :s Can anyone help me? [02:53] roasted: several over the years. havent tried lately. [02:54] dr_willis: like actual software packages to do it? or router-based utilities? [02:54] roasted: And then resume when there is activity? Interesting thought. You may be able to mimic supsension/hibernation by powering down the disks and reducing clock speed with a script, but otherwise I dunno. [02:54] can wireless do wake on lan? [02:54] Iris, sync [02:54] Io [02:54] i'm under the impression that WOL is unsupported on wireless [02:55] Flumpy: not really to resume when there's activity... more like... wake on lan @ 545 pm, then sync data at 6 pm, then power off if theres no activity for 15 mins [02:55] masen, http://paste.ubuntu.com/882703/ [02:55] Flumpy: so say it syncs data for 10 mins, then 15 mins of inactivity 625 it should suspend [02:55] dr_willis: I'm willing to bet WOL doesn't work if the target system is wireless. If you're using a laptop to WOL another system that's wired, I'd bet it would work. [02:55] dr_willis: educated guess [02:55] masen: says it already off if u went to the same sight i did i have already tried this and it had no effect [02:56] with the other power saveing features of pcs these days. i doubt if an idle box is drawing much power. nit wirth it to suspend [02:56] dr_willis: yeah, I thought about that too. [02:56] dr_willis: I'm trying to be green with it. this file server is for my parents... I'd hate to drop a box in their basement that runs 247365 if they don't truly need it [02:57] danny: were you experiencing this issue with a previous version? or is this the first? [02:57] dr_willis: especially since its not a gaming rig sucking power... its a pentium dual core box, 300w 80+ psu, and a single 7200 rpm hdd... no pci cards, optical drives, etc. [02:57] masen, all your suggestions were correct: */4 every 4 min 00 04 08, etc. 3-57/4 every 4 min 03,07,11 etc. [02:57] roasted: ssh to it and use it. :) [02:57] dr_willis: what would me sshing to it have to do with anything? [02:57] donsd: cool! [02:58] masen: hmm i kinda reinstall ubuntu alot ha been trying diff distros and stuff like that and when i used 10.10 it was fine but i never used 11.o4 [02:58] always usefull to have a spare box somewhere :) [02:58] dr_willis: I should get a watt meter... [02:58] roasted: It seems you might be able to use cron to wake from suspend, and probably to put it back into suspend as well. I imagine this would suite your needs? [02:58] and test it idle... [02:59] Flumpy: sounds like it, though extensive reading suggests theres no way to wake a system from dead sleep or suspend, that BIOS needs to initiate that. [02:59] Flumpy: I set the bios to turn this computer on 2 mins from earlier and it worked. I set it to turn on at 530 tonight but it never came on.... drat. [02:59] roasted: i imagine their microwave takes 10x the powar. ;) [02:59] help please i need a program to burn iso to usb in linux? [03:00] dr_willis: I wouldn't doubt it. But hey, if I can save a few bucks in power, I'd like to. they already have 6 computers in the house. [03:00] roasted: A very brief google returns something about rtcwake, a built-in kernel utility for waking an sleeping. [03:00] Flumpy: ah, I lied. I did hear about rtcwake... I forgot that one. [03:00] Rourick: pendrive linux site has several tools. depends on the details [03:01] im looking all i see is .exe files [03:01] Rourick: http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/unetbootin/UNetbootin/568/unetbootin-linux-568 [03:01] dr_willis: kill a watt at radioshack for 25 bucks... going to grab one tomorrow. [03:01] Rourick: Simple chmod +x the executable then ./unetbootin-linux-568 [03:01] ok thanks [03:01] dr_willis: I reckon the box will uses 75 watts at idle... [03:02] roasted: yep. i need one of those also [03:02] roasted: i would guess less.. but it may depend on the age of the bix [03:03] Hi asll [03:03] Hi All [03:03] dr_willis: at work I had a different system, but still a pentium dual core system, idle at 75 [03:03] How is everyone? [03:03] dr_willis: P4 idled at like 140, and intel atom nettop idled at 2 [03:03] pents are old. :) [03:03] Im so happy with Ubunut [03:04] roasted: wonder what a cherry.pi uses.. :) id bet.1. [03:04] dr_willis: raspberry? :P [03:04] roasted: I came across lesswatts.org if all you're interested in is saving power. [03:04] Hi firends, on ubuntu 11.04 the wireless connections info was stored on ~/.gconf/system/networking. Where are this info on ubuntu 12.04? [03:05] Hello? [03:05] cant get any . so may as well call it a goosberry pi [03:06] Flumpy: good find... but I'm not sure I can squeeze any more out of that setup.... after all there's no expansion cards, no optical drive, no built in wireless or bluetooth, and no monitor plugged in [03:06] Flumpy: its literally psu, proc, ram, hdd [03:06] roasted: Well I dunno, but good luck. [03:08] roasted: how did rtcwake work for you? [03:08] diraol, dconf [03:08] masen: didn't have the chance to try it. the box in question is at my parents turned off, and its 11 at night. Just doing some resaerch for it tomorrow. :) [03:09] escot, dconf? That woudl be something like "~/.dconf"? === Guest98574 is now known as Aranel [03:10] I found it! ~/.config/dconf [03:11] But there isn't a system or network folder. [03:14] wow [03:14] diraol: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 issues [03:15] mneptok, thanks! =) [03:17] Hi all. I'm having trouble getting Compiz working in gnome-classic in 11.10. I have already removed the notifications requirement in gnome-classic.session. [03:18] I have seen Compiz work correctly in Unity with this same hardware/driver configuration - in fact I didn't even shut down. I'm sure Compiz should be working. === beejeebus is now known as beejeebus-afk === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [03:27] The channel is quiet tonight. [03:28] that sounds like a line from a movie! :) [03:28] how to install the onboard intel vga driver DH61DL & DH61WW series on ubuntu 10.04? === Heff|hoagies is now known as ComradeHeff [03:31] Welp, I deleted ubuntu.session and I have no idea how to get it back. :) [03:32] how do i change the channel my wifi is on for example my droid can be changed from channel 1-11 [03:32] Draconicus: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-session; [03:32] trism: ...gnome-session contains the unity session file? [03:33] Draconicus: yes [03:33] Yaknow, I thought I'd come into this channel with the pretense of ignorance, since that tends to get an answer quicker. The truth is, I've been using Ubuntu since Breezy. [03:34] Now I have to say that I am troubled by how little my years of Ubuntu experience are helping me with the strange issues I am encountering here in 11.10. [03:35] Draconicus: i have allways gotten help just sometimes people dont know the answear so if u ask at multiple times during the day when different people are on ur bound to find ur answear but if u been with ubuntu that long then u know how far it has come and how many bugs have been worked out glad u stuck with it :D [03:36] danny: For every bug solved, a new one is created. [03:37] I'd love to know what I can't start a barebones desktop session with nothing but a terminal, and still can't start Compiz without it hanging - not crashing... just hanging. [03:37] That... sentence got away from me a bit. [03:38] Draconicus: sry ha but still glad u got stuck with it [03:39] Maybe I'll just push to the 12.04 beta. Oneiric is starting to look like another Feisty. [03:39] 12.04 works nice with Compiz [03:40] Oh goodie. [03:40] After install, had to update Compiz to weekly build, drivers, and latest Unity [03:40] Draconicus: i just reverted back to 11.10 but u go for it there are bugs though more so then 11.10 [03:41] OK, im using Pidgin, seems to crash when I try to enable google account. Also IRC Channel window Like this one, I can't read what I type. the bottom bar is to thin to read. [03:41] danny, do you know what it means when I rip out all of compiz's config files, completely remove all packages, purge unity for good measure, start a bare terminal session from lightdm and type "compiz --replace" only to watch it choke and hang - not crash but just sit there? [03:41] (I reinstalled the compiz packages after the purge, of course) [03:42] Draconicus: ha i have used compiz many times there is a reason they are puting a warning on it now i just dont mess with it anymore unless i know for a fact it will work well or i try it first on my test computer [03:43] danny: It didn't need a warning before Unity. [03:43] Who remembers Beryl? I was there for Beryl. That was rock-solid stable. [03:43] I remember Beryl [03:44] Without Beryl, Emerald's icon seems less... meaningful. [03:44] seemed like Beryl=Compiz [03:44] If you can even get Emerald working. [03:44] hello! i have 11.10 on two computers. one computer i see a full menu (compose,check mail, etc) when i right click "thunderbird" in my app launcher, but another computer its a very short list. the first computer also shows me how many unread messages i have. how do i get the app luancher on 2nd computer to match 1st computer? [03:44] Beryl got a lot of texture effects working before rejoining the group. You can thank Beryl for wobbly windows. [03:44] Whats the best chat client? [03:44] WilsonBradley: I have been using X-Chat for years. I lurves it. [03:45] WilsonBradley - many people will say xchat, but i like the built in IRC chat in Pidgin [03:45] I coudlnt get things working in xvhat [03:45] Draconicus: yeh i agree completly i dont agree with unity i am starting to use gnome 3 but its brand new and that means they gotta restart quite alot of stuff maybe try getting back an old version of gnome i bet that might fix ur issues [03:45] xchat [03:45] Watch out for "X-Chat Gnome". That is completely different. It's like X-Chat for babies or something. [03:45] Empathy also can handle IRC [03:45] danny: I'm an Xfce fan, myself. [03:45] Anybody know if there's a way to Wake On LAN a system on the network at a specific time with something like gwakeuplan, etc? [03:46] I tried Xchat [03:46] something didn't work about it [03:46] Draconicus: i agree compelty but gnome 3 has some realy interesting ui still bit buggy but as far as stabilty x is the way to go ive found out [03:46] now tried to start using Pidgin , but [03:46] problems [03:47] give Empathy a try as it does IRC too [03:47] WilsonBradley: It's a bit more hands-on. If you set your favorite network to autojoin with some good channels and whatnot, and tell the network dialog to skip on startup, you're in good shape. I also recommend switching from tab to tree view. [03:47] iheartubuntu: Do you know how hard I have to work to get empathy out of the system? It's as bad as evolution for how deeply rooted it is. [03:48] anyone here know about the Unity app launcher? [03:48] yah i dont like empathy either [03:48] ... [03:48] Why are you recommending it? [03:48] thunderbird kicks butt === DJ is now known as Guest63005 [03:48] how do I switch to tree view? [03:48] how to set default brightness setting at startup? found some solutions from internet, but they don't work. [03:48] the guy wants to do IRC [03:48] empathy isnt "bad"... its just not my fave [03:48] WilsonBradley: It's in the view options. Channel Switcher [03:49] Especially good if you go to many places at once. [03:49] not happy about Tomboy though. I use it extensively [03:49] roasted: I assume another running system will be the one that wakes a 2nd system on lan? so a script that runs in cron that sends wake mesg. [03:49] Are you talking about Pidgin? [03:49] What happened to Tomboy? I just use the old sticky notes plugin from gnome version forever-ago [03:49] hey [03:49] holy cow almost 1500 people in here. i remember when it was like 150 [03:49] WilsonBradley: No, X-Chat [03:50] iheartubuntu, 2005 ? [03:50] iheartubuntu: Those were the days. You could actually carry on a useful conversation. [03:50] using xchat-gnome atm, does look a lot like xchat tbh [03:50] I think I got into Ubuntu around '06. [03:50] iheartubuntu, ubuntu has grown! [03:50] tomboy is being dropped from 12.04 and is no longer accessible from U1 [03:50] sacarlson: yeah, basically. I'm trying to set things up on a schedule so the file server is only on when it needs to be on... aka... my computer fires up and I'm using it. I have it set to WOL the file server at 5:55 PM, then at 6:00 PM my system rsyncs to it, etc. [03:50] but it's been a while since ive been using irc :) [03:50] yeah 2006 for me! [03:50] which is the ubuntu chat channel [03:50] sacarlson: if I can mesh up a schedule of WOL as well as rsync (I can already handle rsync) that'd be great. [03:51] since this channel is only for help..i dont want to be kickd out [03:51] i havent been in this room for a while. mostly in california room [03:51] fragske: It's the weirds knockoff thing I've ever seen. It's as bad as gnome-screensaver for dumbing things down. "What do you mean they have settings?!" is a reaction I got from one customer when I described xscreensaver. [03:51] i have 11.10 on two computers. one computer i see a full menu (compose,check mail, etc) when i right click "thunderbird" in my app launcher, but another computer its a very short list. the first computer also shows me how many unread messages i have. how do i get the app luancher on 2nd computer to match 1st computer? [03:51] there is a unity room... anyone remember the name? [03:52] iheartubuntu: Crazy idea, but is one using unity2d? [03:52] I cant seem to get xchat to work [03:52] doesn't connect [03:52] thats interesting. i dont think so, but i should check. [03:52] Draconicus, are u on unity or gnome3? [03:52] i mean gnome shell [03:52] or not sure how to add this server for example [03:52] WilsonBradley: What are you setting? You have to click "Edit" after you type the network name. [03:52] roasted: if you want a single script just add a sleep in your script and maybe some test to verify your wake system woke up [03:53] inzi: Xfce. [03:53] Man, I should have said IceWM or something just to be silly. [03:53] xubuntu or debian with xfce? [03:53] iheartubuntu, I think the channel is #ubuntu-unity [03:53] sacarlson: well, I'm not even sure how I would schedule sending a wakeonlan packet to my file server, let alone scripting to verify it really woke up. [03:53] iheartubuntu: Why would a Debian user be in here? [03:53] ubuntu is based on debian, plus theres a lot more going on in ubuntu these days [03:54] Connecting to irc.2600.net (207.99.30.200) port 6667... [03:54] * Connection failed. Error: Network is unreachable [03:54] I was using Xfce4-Panel+Nautilus+Compiz+AWN happily as my desktop environemnt in 10.10. Just upgraded the whole way to 11.10 and thankfully it didn't eat my apache stuff. [03:54] roasted: I don't think the script runs in the server it runs in your runing desktop that wakes it up [03:55] How do I turn off the annoying sound when a tab opens in Firefox? [03:55] I don;'t know how it started [03:55] I upgraded. Xfce ran. Compiz worked in it. Everything was great. I restarted and it never worked again. [03:55] Too good to be true. :( [03:56] sacarlson: right, I get that. At any rate I just figured it out. There's a terminal command for "wakeonlan", whcih is simply, wakeonlan 00:11:22:33:44:55 etc.. I can just cron that to run at a specific time, such as 5:58 like I said in the earlier example. [03:56] thanks for the chat name satyanash [03:56] roasted: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/etherwake.8.html is what I found [03:57] Oh, here's a good one: Why on earth is caribou REQUIRED to use Gnome 3? How can that possibly be a dependency? [03:57] roasted: etherwake is what is run on the sender side [03:58] I went to type in Firefox in Xfce after playing with gnome-tweak-tool to smooth out some GTK3 settings and an on-screen keyboard called Antler popped up and wouldn't go away even after I killed every process I could find for it. I had to re-log-in to make it go away. D: [03:58] * Looking up irc.freenode.net [03:58] * Connecting to chat.freenode.net (85.94.204.146) port 6667... [03:58] then it times out [03:58] WilsonBradley: It's irc.freenode.net [03:59] I think chat.freenode.net is their java-client URL, isn't it? [04:00] Yep. Installing a package called gnome-session creates the session file for Unity. [04:00] I dont know why it changes to chat.freenode.net [04:00] THIS RELEASE OF UBUNTU SURE IS POLISHED! :D [04:01] WilsonBradley: You mean it's just doing that?

[04:02] Don't worry about the /6667 junk. It does that by default anyway. [04:02] (The file shows up in the browser with a player but doesn't actually play) [04:02] it'sya, I kept taking the 6667 out [04:03] WilsonBradley: Have you tested your hard drive recently? If the config file for X-Chat is giving you issues, I'd worry about write errors on the disk. [04:04] Hu? [04:04] WilsonBradley: You should check dmesg for I/O error reports just in case. It seems like the settings aren't sticking in X-Chat. [04:04] Don't connect all this time. Instead, make the changes, close the program, re-open and edit again to see if they stick [04:05] when I go back in they are still there [04:05] If all else fails, type /server irc.freenode.net into the chat box. That always works. [04:06] It's weird. I'm used to this channel being flooded with activity to the point where you can't hope to be noticed without repeating yourself every five minutes...

Forget that for now. [04:07] yes in xchat === o0o0o is now known as greenkobold [04:08] WilsonBradley: Okay, so in X-Chat you closed the Network Connection dialog and went to the bottom of the window, clicked on the text area, typed "/server irc.freenode.net" and it said it was connecting to gamesnet? [04:08] Draconicus, WilsonBradley: chat.freenode.net is correct. irc.freenode.net is a pointer to it. We have no Java client. [04:09] dax_: ...Oh. :o [04:09] (you're perhaps thinking of webchat.freenode.net, which is javascript) [04:09] dax_: What about "gamesnet"? [04:09] no I tried a few different ones [04:09] Draconicus, no idea [04:10] WilsonBradley: Got any firewalls? That could do it I guess. I don't know at this point. Maybe your computer is possessed. Call an exorcist. [04:10] I tried* Looking up irc.freenode.net [04:10] * Connecting to chat.freenode.net (85.94.204.146) port 6667...

[04:15] ill check [04:15] or your router has a caching dns service [04:15] or your machine has it cached as that? [04:15] dax_: cool story bro. [04:16] Yep. [04:16] hey there! I have 10.04 server edition and I have an old tzdata package there (2010i-1). I did apt-get update and apt-get install tzdata but it says it has the newest version. How can I update it? [04:17] I was able to remove "unity-greeter" and keep lightdm installed, all without any red flags. Completely breaks lightdm. [04:17] If I filed all the bugs I find in 11.10 I'd have to make it my new hobby. [04:17] i've set up a router before, but its always so ugly [04:18] i want something resilient [04:18] soidexe: if you already have the newest in your repository and you want a newer one you might try the ppa version [04:20] sacarlson: tzdata is not something you should have to leave the repository to get updates for. soidexe if your tzdata isn't up-to-date for you locale, you should file a bug. [04:21] !info tzdata lucid-updates [04:21] 'lucid-updates' is not a valid distribution: hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports, maverick-proposed, medibuntu, natty, natty-backports, natty-proposed, oneiric, oneiric-backports, oneiric-proposed, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, stable, testing, unstable [04:21] !info tzdata lucid [04:21] tzdata (source: tzdata): time zone and daylight-saving time data. In component main, is required. Version 2012b-0ubuntu0.10.04 (lucid), package size 617 kB, installed size 6272 kB [04:21] figured [04:22] sacarlson: You're missing a repository. Probably lucid-updates. [04:22] soidexe: zykotick9: is correct it should change much anyway unless someone changes the date of daylight saveings at some point [04:23] dax_: that makes more sense, thanks. [04:23] shouldn't change [04:23] sacarlson: i remember several changes to tzdata last year (due to changes in the US i believe), don't remember seening any this year [04:24] there were changes in Moscow, Russia [04:24] I just downloaded a deb file. not sure it's a proper way though [04:25] soidexe: it's not. you should be seeing Version 2012b-0ubuntu0.10.04 from repositories. [04:26] zykotick9: yeah, it is. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/all/tzdata/ [04:26] one more question. what would be a proper to install python2.7 on 10.04? [04:27] I'm a bit tired of ppa as they often go somewhere down [04:29] is there an option so that one could be make the script execute at a particular time [04:29] ponrajuganesh: like "parent control"? [04:30] !cron | ponrajuganesh [04:30] ponrajuganesh: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [04:30] !router [04:32] does anyone know how to reinstall a factory *.wim image to a specific partition through ubuntu? [04:32] or is it even possible? [04:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html [04:34] can i use -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o !eth0 -j MASQUERADE [04:34] instead, notice the "!" [04:34] so it will forward to whatever the default gateway is? [04:35] or even not set the -o option [04:36] Can someone point me to an article that can help me use chown from a live disk? === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [04:37] any good tut on ubuntu server for samba file server config ? [04:37] anyone? [04:39] scientes: I don't fully understand your goal but my masq line looks like $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE [04:40] sacarlson, i don't have a static $EXTIF [04:40] could be wifi, could be 3G, [04:40] unsecur3d: have you read through these https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba ? [04:40] i just want it to use the route table [04:40] but perhaps block the same interface stuff came in on [04:40] so that would be -o !$INTIF [04:40] scientes: I guess the script would run at each change then? I'm not sure [04:41] sacarlson, no, the ip route table takes care of that [04:41] didnt even know that site existed, about to check it out. also found a good one here: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-11.10-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend [04:41] sacarlson, when you dhcp a new connection, it resets the default gateway [04:42] scientes: this just points at the device not the ip address so I guess it would still work [04:42] yeah i dont really want a firewall [04:42] i just want masquerade [04:43] so ufw isn't really for me [04:43] what i really want is it to be easily off/on able [04:43] with dnsmasq [04:45] anyone out there geocacher? Any good way to geocache on linux. I have a garmin 60csx. [04:45] so that i wont screw up when i connect to a ethernet network [04:45] i gues i can keep the masquerade rules and just turn off dnsmasq [04:46] how could i get a trigger with network manager on that? [04:46] how do you add a service to a run level on the command line interface? [04:46] BoomerBile, update-rc.d [04:47] is the default run level in ubuntu still default? [04:47] update-rc.d $SERVICE_NAME defaults [04:47] i.e update-rc.d -n basename default [04:47] hi yall. i run a ubuntu 10.04 server and exim4 stoped working yesterday. i figured something got stuck, but mailq just gives "Illegal instruction" i tried dpgk reconfig and got 'Invalid new configfile... not installing" ??? help plz [04:47] *default [04:48] yeah it works the same as debian [04:48] A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept. [04:48] zosky, use postfix :P [04:48] thanks scientes... in gentoo we use rc-update add service default/boot/sysinit/runlevel [04:48] scientes: thats not a solution, thats a work-around [04:49] zosky, yeah, sorry for my personal opinion [04:49] кйх [04:49] check #exim [04:49] !ru [04:49] Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [04:49] how do I access my encrypted home folder from live cd? [04:49] scientes: thanks, i'll ask there & if i get nowhere i'll switch to postfix [04:50] Hi all [04:50] ‎ [04:50] is there anyone familiar with openMP or openCL? [04:50] fields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution [04:50] I give up on Pidign [04:52] ields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution [04:52] ields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution [04:52] fields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution [04:52] fields for filling in the missing username and password at login,,, please solution [04:55] scientes: I wonder if you could just add a script at /etc/network/interfaces with a line up /etc/network/scripts/runatdhcp ; I'm not sure what event happens when dhcp changes your ip; in fact your ip normaly stays the same over a sesion so this might work [04:56] sacarlson, your ip stays the same because both your computer and the dhcp server has a mapping, and it tries to reuse it [04:56] but im not using network/interfaces, i am using networkmanager [04:56] scientes: yes so only time it normaly changes is up and down that this will run your script to set your masq [04:57] well actually it would be up w/ dhcp -->turn off; down with dhcp, turn on [04:57] scientes: I thought networkmanager used interfaces also [04:57] with what it is turning on/off is the dhcp server [04:58] i can keep the masquerade [04:58] it wont screw up anything [04:59] hey guys, I have been using ubuntu since long.. But since when Unity showed up, I didn't upgrade my system. I'm currently on 10.10... And my Ubuntu 10.10's support is ending next month.. My question is, what happens after support ends.. Will my system stop working.. or it's just the repository support they're talking about..? [05:00] scientes: I run dhcp also but have my dhcpd always set my system with this mac to the same address [05:01] sacarlson, yeah it keeps a leases file, and also your computer will always ask for what it last had === blackmatrix_ny is now known as _iniKamoze_ [05:01] Bruce_Wayne: at worst you just can't add new software or updates. [05:01] (and you can also set it static) [05:01] how do I see a version of a specific package? [05:02] Bruce_Wayne: no security support is a HUGE deal [05:02] Bruce_Wayne, your computer will keep working [05:02] scientes: in my case it forces me to use this ip even if I ask for another for this mac address [05:02] Bruce_Wayne, the new version are alot nicer [05:02] faster, more power-efficient [05:02] sacarlson, yeah it just sends you that one [05:03] scientes: but If I was to move to another net the dhcp would work normaly [05:03] sacarlson: Thanks.. Did you mean from online repository? Or I won't be able to unzip any gz2 files and install? ...... [05:03] yeah thats how dhcp works, it can send you whatever it wants to [05:03] you could set it statically still [05:04] Bruce_Wayne: just the repository, you can still download from other locations and compile if you already had the compile packages installed [05:04] Bruce_Wayne, you could still install .deb packages from other repositories, (like a new ubuntu version) [05:04] and you can even download all the old debs for quite some time [05:04] it just means that you don't get any security support [05:04] scientes: I know.. But I haven't got time to install these all packages I'm using from current OS.. Is there any way to back all installed packages up and restore them when I upgrade to 12.04? [05:05] Bruce_Wayne, you mean packages that wern't from ubuntu? [05:05] Bruce_Wayne, if they were from ubuntu, it will all upgrade seemlessly [05:06] otherwise the packages might break, as Ubuntu doesn't keep binary compatibility in alot of cases [05:06] scientes: No I mean, all the packages or apps I have currently installed, So that I don't have to reconfigure them.. for eg: Rhythmbox, my programming IDE: Eclipse, My dictionary: Artha, all.. [05:07] Bruce_Wayne: you can create a list of the apps now installed and use that list to try on the new installed system, but some may no longer exist [05:07] Bruce_Wayne, you wont have to reconfigure them, it will keep all your old settings [05:07] scientes: Yes, I'm currently on Ubuntu 10.10 [05:07] Where can I change the font for terminal when I use dwm in ubuntu 11.10? [05:07] Bruce_Wayne, you should already backup, but even if you install fresh, when you mount your home it will probably just work [05:08] for alot of software [05:08] lilVaratep: what terminal are you using? [05:08] scientes: Bruce_Wayne: and that would be from a fresh install, not all upgrades go very smoothly so I start from fresh on a spare partition [05:08] zykotick9, How do I find out? [05:08] lilVaratep: "echo $TERM" might work [05:08] zykotick9, I'm just using the default terminal that came with ubuntu 11.10 [05:09] so... xterm [05:09] lilVaratep, no, its gnome-terminal [05:09] lilVaratep: safest would be to set in .Xdefault-$YOURHOSTNAME [05:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/firewall.html [05:10] how do i set the firewall to not be a firewall? [05:10] I don't have a .Xdefaults [05:10] i guess what i really need is a super-short NAT MASQUERADE script [05:10] lilVaratep: i'm not surprised... [05:11] zykotick9, If I make a new .Xdefaults what needs to be in it? [05:11] sacarlson: scientes: Thanks for your replies & hints.. I'll search the internet for my further confusions. Cheers. :) [05:11] lilVaratep: first off, i didn't say .Xdefaults (that probably won't work), you need to call it .Xdefault-$YOURHOSTNAME (replace $YOURHOSTNAME with you actual hostname) [05:13] scientes: I think I have a minimal masq script, I normaly run a much bigger on as I run an isp that filters out people who failed to pay [05:13] so it would be .Xdefault-UbuntuDeBay or would it be .Xdefault-$UbuntuDeBay [05:13] .Xdefault-UbuntuDeBay [05:13] sacarlson, paste it [05:13] i've done this before [05:13] but i cant find what i used before [05:14] it even have nice port forwarding [05:14] but i think i will run miniupnpd === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk === BAZ is now known as BAZINGA_ [05:14] i ran into this last time [05:14] everyone want to give you a firewall [05:14] and i dont want that [05:15] Hi [05:15] How do I make a file in terminal? [05:15] scientes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/882817/ [05:15] ooo, this one looks good [05:15] How do I install java? [05:15] make -f name doesn't seem to work [05:16] http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/howto/other-formats/html_single/Masquerading-Simple-HOWTO.html [05:16] lilVaratep: touch or use an editor nano, vim, etc. [05:16] it seems that the GNU parallel program in moreutils is really outdated ... confirm ?? [05:16] [18:15] How do I install java? [05:16] !java | Madhatter_ [05:16] Madhatter_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [05:16] zykotick9, Why did you write .Xdefault? I thought it was .Xdefaults? [05:17] lilVaratep: typo sorry, it's .Xdefaults-HOSTNAME [05:17] I downloaded java but It wants an application to open it that I dont seem to have [05:17] $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -j ACCEPT [05:17] $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE [05:18] zykotick9, And what would I put in this file to make xterm's default font -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1 [05:18] is $EXTIF the WAN, or LAN? sacarlson ? [05:18] lilVaratep: as an example my line is = xterm*font: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-* [05:18] scientes: it's the external iterface the one that touches your ISP [05:19] ahh then that wont work for me [05:19] cause that changes in my case [05:19] it might be wifi, it might be 3g [05:19] lilVaratep: use xfontsel to play with the fonts to get the line (there is a copy (to clipboard) button i think) [05:19] scientes: if it changes just at a $1 to your script [05:19] add $1 [05:20] sacarlson, so you have to dump everything gotcha [05:20] when you connect with the other interfaces [05:20] zykotick9, Yeah, I generated -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1 already [05:20] scientes: my system normaly has alot of filters set so this dumps all those before it runs [05:20] sacarlson, and how about turning it off, like when you dhcp on the LAN [05:20] (making it a WAN) [05:21] hi, after a while my ubuntu virtual machines al have "ssh main process (562) terminated with status 255 or failsafe main process (556) killed by TERM signal [05:21] lilVaratep: so, just add " xterm*font: -xos4-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1" and try opening a new xterm, if it doesn't work you may have to source the .Xdefault-hostname file and try again [05:21] any idea why this is? [05:21] zykotick9, What do you mean by source the file? [05:21] scientes: I would have to verify but I think sudo ifconfig etho down; sudo ifconfig eth0 up; might clear it [05:21] lilVaratep: "source .Xdefaults-HOSTNAME" then try xterm again [05:22] scientes: typeo ehto = eth0 [05:22] zykotick9, The font is now changed so thanks =]. How would I install a new font? I tried going into unity and double clicking .pcf files to install but i guess it didn't show up [05:23] sacarlson, "NetworkManager will only handle interfaces not declared in /etc/network/interfaces (see README file). " [05:23] see [05:23] lilVaratep: i know there are a couple console fonts available in the repo [05:23] lilVaratep: terminus is one [05:23] scientes: I guess that might be why I kill networkmanager then [05:23] zykotick9, I was looking forward to installing profont ... as I am a programmer and that one appeals to me and is well suggested by other programmers [05:25] lilVaratep: sidenote - for a good xterminal emulator you might want to look into urxvt [05:25] sacarlson, well this is an end-user device, and NetworkManager really is the front-end i want to use, so ill have to figure it out [05:25] zykotick9, Yeah I've heard urxvt is good. I just sudo apt-get install rxvt-unicode already, is that all I need? and whats different with urxvt? [05:26] scientes: I agree and networkmanager has improved, even shared network is setable in networkmanger that sometimes works [05:26] lilVaratep: it's rendering and font support are better then xterms, less graphics issues with ncurses applications in my particular case [05:27] sacarlson, so can i set a static in interfaces, and let NM ALSO get a dhcp? [05:27] cause i know the kernel can do that [05:27] lilVaratep: alsamixer looked horrible in screen session for example - i even have transperance working with screen now :) [05:27] cause im not configuring a gateway, just a local route [05:27] scientes: sure as long as it's on a different interface [05:27] sacarlson, no, same interface [05:27] zykotick9, I'm currently using DWM, so how would I get the urxvt to be transparent? [05:27] "If you want NetworkManager to handle interfaces that are enabled in /etc/network/interfaces: " [05:28] lilVaratep: what is DWM? [05:28] just differn't subnet [05:28] is it just me or is there a fair bitof fake user account spam in bugs.launchpad.net? [05:28] for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/522197 [05:28] Launchpad bug 522197 in upstart "init: shouldn't log a warning/error when a job fails with a status in "normal exit"" [Low,Fix released] [05:28] lilVaratep: the config is non-trivial, but i think "urxvt -tr" might work [05:28] zykotick9, Pretty much a tiling window manager [05:28] deliberate missdirection from multiple users (who use the same kind of speech) [05:28] scientes: a virtual address? I'm not sure seems if you add a virtual I'm not sure what happens to the other [05:29] lilVaratep: ahhh yes, i use awesome which is based off dwm if im not mistaken [05:29] sacarlson, no a real address, a static 192.168.56.0/24 [05:29] zykotick9, Is rxvt-unicode the only one i need? [05:29] *.1 [05:29] and then let it have a dhcp + gateway TOO [05:29] lilVaratep: honestly with ubuntu i'm really not positive ;) === bluekb is now known as bluebk [05:30] zykotick9, Which one do you use? [05:30] scientes: override the dhcp? I don't think so , you will find networkmanger taking control at each licence expire [05:30] lilVaratep: doesn't matter [05:30] sacarlson, you dont get it, an interface can have more than one ip address and subnet assigned to it [05:30] scientes: oh you can set static in networkmanager if that's what you mean [05:30] hello [05:30] you just set it in promiscuous mode sacarlson [05:31] scientes: yes more than one ip address is called virtual address [05:31] brb gonna try re-compiling dwm [05:31] sacarlson, i had no idea, but both as first-class citizens [05:31] *are [05:32] scientes: yes but not under the control of networkmanger as far as I know, you would have to kill networkmanager to run something like that [05:33] hmm, but then it will say "unmanaged" and look disconnected [05:33] scientes: ifconfig eth0.1 192.168.2.1; ifconfig eth0.2 192.168.2.5; [05:33] and i dont want that [05:33] sacarlson, ip addr add 192.168.0.foo; ip addr add [05:33] etc [05:34] WAY better [05:34] scientes: it might work even with network manager, try it, it can't kill ya [05:36] Is there a way to adjust scroll speed for ubuntu 11.10? [05:36] zykotick9, How would I change the background for uxrvt? [05:37] lilVaratep: "man uxrvt" [05:37] lilVaratep: it's not an option i use? it is an option though - everything is ;) [05:37] lilVaratep: seriously, it's quicker than asking here [05:38] Nitesnow [05:38] HELP === kish is now known as armstrongcity [05:39] mike [05:39] mikeeeeeeeeeeeee [05:39] is that nite.

[10:48] rogst, thanks ! :) [10:48] ikonia, actually i was trying symlink only, for ftp access, but in ftp it's chrooted, so public can't access another dir which isn't in chroot's root, so i thought i can mount it [10:48] n1x: interesting approach [10:49] rogst, ikonia is it okay?

[11:00] and now its not working [11:00] bal: those two files, yes [11:01] ikonia: ya [11:01] tpl2000, depending how you set it up, the Windows bootloader might be starting first, then pointing to grub. You need to know how you set it up. [11:01] That is what's happening. [11:02] are you sure? [11:02] Quite. [11:02] ikonia: i can't . [11:02] hi all.

[11:03] :) [11:04] ikonia: ok it worked [11:04] I didn't lose Grub, and I'd rather talk to someone in IRC than someone on a forum [11:04] ikonia: now i try to install gimp is it right? [11:04] bal: great [11:04] bal: sudo apt-get update first [11:04] does anyone know how upstart get's the status of a pjob? [11:04] then [11:04] tpl2000, examine you boot sequence to find which loader is returning the error. Those links are to documentation wikis. Use them. [11:05] ikonia: ok [11:05] Alright, ty. [11:06] who know how works casper? :-| !!! [11:09] heizmann, whats ur problem [11:10] scientes: I have a live system on a usb-stick - with persistent-mode, plus casper-rw partition. [11:10] All is fine. [11:10] cool [11:11] i just made a half-ass attempt to do netboot to livecd [11:11] and i think my first try actually worked, it was just slow [11:11] but anyways, gone not [11:11] But I wish encrypt my casper-rw partition, with a luks container. :) is it possible? [11:11] oh geeze [11:11] heizmann, why don't you use ecryptfs instead? [11:11] for your home folder [11:12] that would be alot easier [11:12] scientes: ecryptfs: works perfectly (with, well, my /home/user repositories) === Talisman`AFK is now known as Talisman [11:12] I want to try with another method, for testing ^^ [11:12] yeah, should even work on the livecd if you set it up right [11:12] oh geeze.... [11:13] why don'y you go fix swome bugs [11:13] learn some c [11:14] ikonia: gimp is installed but not opens [11:15] bal: how are you trying to open it [11:15] yay im in [11:15] scientes: I think the good method is: 1) encrypt casper-rw with a luks container; 2) chroot in my uncompressed squashfs system; 3) install cryptsetup, hashalot; 4) regenerate initramfs; 5) squash compress [11:15] heizmann, have you heard of TRESOR? [11:16] ikonia: applications/graphics/ gimp in gui [11:16] sounds like something you would be pretty stoaked by, if you havn't heard of it [11:16] have you heard of beltazor? [11:16] scientes: but I'm not sure... all depends if the initrd.gz regenerate knows a luks container or not... [11:16] scientes: TRESOR? no... what is it? [11:16] bal: open it from a terminal with the command "gimp" see if you get any useful output [11:17] heizmann, google is ur friend, but tell me if i was right :))) [11:17] ikonia: how just giving "gimp" ?

First Compiz wasn't working in Xfce, but worked in Unity and GNOME 3. Now it doesn't work anywhere. I had found a fix, briefly, where I was missing the gnome backend for Xfce compatibility in the session options. Compiz came back! I restarted to get rid of an on-screen-keyboard that wouldn't go away. I haven't had Compiz working since then. [13:26] forever2432: I know. I just wanted Compiz to work. That's all I ever wanted. It worked great before. I had all of my customization back. I was so happy.

I have (I think) removed and replaced every possible config file for Compiz, GNOME, and whatever else might be involved. [13:27] Compiz never gets past "Initializing core options". It hangs there. The window borders go away and I have nothing. [13:27] Draconicus: you might have to purge Compiz and reinstall [13:27] forever2432: Four times already. [13:27] compute uhmm how would you expect to see that by running portcan ? [13:28] i dont no that why i am asking [13:29] compute sounds like youre grabbing for straws here.

[14:00] its ubuntu 11.10 and the raid is fine if i choose skip mounting and continue to boot i can mount it manually np [14:00] Because I just installed the LAMP stack on Ubuntu 11.10 and I can't get to localhost [14:04] hi [14:05] what is this [14:06] <^Satan^> are you 12? [14:06] <^Satan^> Because usually the line is "I am 12 and wat is this?" [14:07] <^Satan^> :P [14:07] <^Satan^> This is IRC, amy_ . Internet Relay Chat.

See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html [14:15] WhereIsMySpoon: there are different versions of ps, -x isn't vaild on all versions, man ps to see ifyour version supports [14:15] you don't need the -, and ps is really keen to tell you that for some reason. [14:16] satan,I am using linuxmint11,I foud a lot of bugs [14:16] ikonia, ps -x works fien on its own [14:17] hm, doing just "ps x | blah" works fine [14:17] WhereIsMySpoon: alias x='ps -x' [14:17] WhereIsMySpoon: copy and paste that [14:17] i guess it just doesnt like the -, as Pumpkin- said [14:17] <^Satan^> amy_, Pidgin IM supports the GoogleTalk protocol, if you start up Pidgin and then click Accounts, Manage Accounts, Add, you can select the Google Talk protocol from the list marked "Protocol:" and then enter your Google Talk login details [14:17] <^Satan^> I personally don't use Google Talk [14:17] thank you ,I'll try now [14:17] ikonia, ah that works fine now [14:17] <`Abhijit> Getting flooded by messages like- kernel: [ 697.231743] hub 2-0:1.0: over-current change on port 2 / 1 ... upon init .. any suggestions to what's wrong? Thank You [14:17] why does ps not use - for its arguments [14:17] WhereIsMySpoon: it does [14:18] WhereIsMySpoon: hence why you can do ps -x [14:18] ikonia, but why did x=`ps -x` not work [14:18] WhereIsMySpoon: because you are using back ticks [14:18] ikonia, but x=`ls -l` works [14:19] so no1 has any idea why my boot is halting on the fstab entry of my raid cause the 'disk drive is not ready yet'? [14:19] WhereIsMySpoon: it's to do with how it executes it, I've seen this before with another command an alias [14:19] ikonia, will that alias command now last forever/ [14:19] <^Satan^> Ignisss, I don't know anything about RAID, sorry... Someone else might, if you can afford to hang around and ask again every so often. [14:19] ? [14:19] I opened the Manage Accounts,but I click on the add,but nothing happened [14:19] WhereIsMySpoon: no, if you exit the shell it will go [14:19] Ignisss: this is a hardware raid? which card? [14:19] ikonia, is there a permanent solution? [14:20] amy_: you're using mint aren't you [14:20] software [14:20] WhereIsMySpoon: but it in your bashrc [14:20] yes [14:20] amy_: ok, the mint support channel isn't on freenode [14:20] raid5 added it to mdadm.conf and fstab by uuid [14:20] !mint | amy_ [14:20] amy_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [14:20] ikonia, ah ok, just exactly the same as how you posted it? [14:20] <`Abhijit> anyone? [14:20] WhereIsMySpoon: yup [14:20] ok thanks [14:20] <^Satan^> amy_, it should pop up a dialog box asking for the details of the account you want to add. [14:20] Ignisss: and the system successfully booted before, or? [14:20] ye it still boots if i choose skip [14:21] ikonia, is there a way to add that rule for all arguments? [14:21] that rule for all arguments ? [14:21] what do you mean ? [14:21] ok,thanks anyway [14:21] i want to also be able to do x=`ps -eax` [14:21] it just gives that message that the drive/filesystem is not ready to mount you can wait, skip the mount or go to a terminal [14:21] or x=`ps -aux` [14:21] or whatever [14:21] WhereIsMySpoon: stop using back ticks [14:21] WhereIsMySpoon: if you type "alias" you'll see all the aliases use ' not ` [14:21] ciao === Talisman`Work is now known as Talisman`AFK [14:22] ikonia, ' is a quotation mark [14:22] https://plus.google.com/106827734897405620119/posts/ZP6aMQpm4mL [14:22] WhereIsMySpoon: no, it's a single quote [14:22] if i do x='ps -eax' it will just echo the text 'ps -eax' [14:22] WhereIsMySpoon: no it won't [14:22] WhereIsMySpoon: as you've just seen [14:23] ikonia, i just did x='ps -eax' then echo $x and i get ps -eax as the echoed response [14:23] as in those letters [14:23] backticks have always been the way i assign commands to variables [14:23] WhereIsMySpoon: you don't echo a command [14:23] WhereIsMySpoon: that is setting a variable, not a alias [14:23] WhereIsMySpoon: you said you wanted to do an alias [14:24] alias x='ps -ef' is an alias x='ps -ef' is a variable [14:24] oh [14:24] the raid is a data partition it isnt my system mount btw so i can boot up without it mounting and then manually mount it without problem i just cant get it to automount on boot [14:24] Hello everybody! [14:24] so is there a way to do alias x='ps -allArgs' [14:24] Anyone know how can I install on my computer Nux? [14:24] or something similar [14:24] WhereIsMySpoon: what you are saying makes no sense [14:24] WhereIsMySpoon: you can alias what ever you want [14:24] I switched from NVIDIA card to a much faster GPU ATI card. Looks like all the drivers are installed, however, I cannot figure out how to render 3D. Anyone could know how to do this here today? [14:24] ikonia, but i dont want to have to alias every single argument of ps [14:24] WhereIsMySpoon: alias x='whatever you want" [14:25] hi all, my smb share doesn't mount on boot because networking isn't on yet when it tries to mount, any ideas? thanks! [14:25] WhereIsMySpoon: sorry you are making no sense === josephliu is now known as josephl === josephl is now known as josephliu [14:25] WhereIsMySpoon: you want to alias x='ps -allargs" but you don't want to type ps -allargs [14:25] Ignisss: try adding "nobootwait" to the fstab entry. [14:26] ikonia, so if i just do ps --help then get the list of args then just do alias x='ps type_all_of_the_args_here'..that will work? [14:27] WhereIsMySpoon: work out the options you want from "man ps" then do alias x='ps -the-options-you-want' [14:27] yea [14:27] ok [14:27] thanks [14:27] your thing with the backticks is not forbidden, too [14:27] it boots but it still doesnt automount [14:28] <^Satan^> So the problem is really with automount in fstab, yeah? [14:28] <^Satan^> maybe not RAID-specific? [14:28] UUID=uuidhere /media/MediaC ext4 defaults,nobootwait 0 2 [14:29] basically, backticks do a command substitution...they run the thing in backticks and substitute it with the result [14:29] same thing as $(...) [14:29] is the entry to fstab with that i can boot but when i check it aint mounted but if i do mdadm --detail --scan it does say to raid is running fine [14:30] so if you do x = `ps -eax` and then do echo $x, it will run ps -eax and echo the result === me_ is now known as Guest49974 [14:30] oh, he's not even in here anymore [14:31] So I just installed the LAMP stack on Ubuntu 11.10 with sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ but localhost isn't working [14:32] "localhost isn't working" come on, you need to be more detailed in the problem [14:32] acnot: is Apache configured to respond on the loopback interface? [14:32] what's the error, is apache even running, [14:33] Hi Everybody [14:33] mneptok, I am guessing not [14:33] helps if you give the error [14:33] or describe the problem [14:33] maybe i should try by name instead of uuid just to see ;p [14:34] acnot: check if server is running sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [14:34] ikonia, good point [14:34] acnot: your guesses are not enough to trigger the "let's spend 20 minutes of my morning helping this person," response. guesses aren't helpful.

I was hoping less would let me search and navigate up and down the page but it doesn't. Pressing the up arrow just enters that text on the bottom of the less window. [15:44] chevin: *when I do a "php -i | less" [15:45] DragonSlay, is the network device being recognized by the guest? [15:45] compute, hacking and discussion is offtopic, thanks.

Looks like php -i is outputting some control characters that are making things a bit wonky. "php -i > phpinfo.txt; less phpinfo.txt" works OK for me, just writes it out to a file first [15:48] i am just leaning about computer i am runnig ubutu [15:48] truexfan81, if the package is not in the repos, you can download and install it by hand [15:48] pepee: looks like a wrong syntax for dhclient. it throws dhclient actual howto for syntax [15:48] pepee, should i paste the outputs of the commands you sent me in PM?

We don't know that though [16:42] pepee could the issue with not being able to ping be related to the fact i am bridged? [16:42] Hi guys and girls [16:42] Ampix0, no idea... [16:42] hi zteam [16:42] I need some help to configure my printer [16:43] I was wondering [16:43] I have done this multiple times before but now it won't work since I reinstalled Ubuntu [16:43] Are there any drivers for AMD Radeon 6570 graphics card? [16:44] I just built a new PC and would like to install Linux on it. The integrated graphics should be automatically work ( Intel open source'd the drivers I believe) [16:44] foxbuntu, fglrx (propietary) or radeon (open source) [16:44] Which one is better in terms of performance? [16:44] if I try to print a test print Cups just state that it has sent 0 bytes to the printer [16:44] <_Marcus> Foxhoundz: Check the AMD website. [16:44] Can someone help me install fonts? I already moved "ProFont" files to /usr/share/fonts/misc and sudo mkfontscale, sudo mkfontdir, sudo fv-cache -vrt but the fonts still not showing up in xfontsel [16:44] fglrx, but it has some problems... [16:45] <_Marcus> Foxhoundz: 32-bit or 64-bit? [16:45] Anybody got any ideas?

[16:49] all the guide I've tried doesn't function (plugin for ccsm) I'm on 64bit [16:51] what are required specs for running ubuntu desktop.............smoothly? [16:51] foxbuntu, 60GB according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [16:51] Ampix0, so, does eth0 have an IP addr? [16:52] pepee looks like it to me. im writing it out in pastepin now [16:52] Question. Do I need the wakeonlan package installed for wake on LAN to work? I cannot get my desktop to wake up and I wondered if even needed that package for it to work [16:52] pepee: does ubuntu 32bit kernel support PAE? [16:52] pepee though it is also My local IP, since it is bridged. [16:52] sacarlson, IIRC ubuntu comes with PAE enabled by default [16:52] roasted: might be a bios setting that needs to be enabled also [16:53] Hi, is there any command like to repair files of ubuntu. [16:53] pepee: IIRC is that default? [16:53] like the same in windows [16:53] Ampix0, do you know how to use wireshark? it can be helpful to troubleshoot network problems [16:54] I know it's a bios setting. I cannot find it though but my board is supported [16:54] gaiz, i r fail [16:54] pepee i love me some wireshark [16:54] pepee: sounds good cool, I only have 4Gb of mem anyway but makes me think again if I need 64bit [16:54] pepee: sacarlson 12.04 has pae by default [16:54] Hi, is there any command like to repair files of ubuntu like the same in windows [16:54] somehow i cant get postfix and dovecot to play nice anymore on new insalls [16:54] pepee http://pastebin.com/rWyAFanU [16:54] iceroot: thanks [16:55] which is best cpu intel or amd [16:55] <_Marcus> nagarjuna: What exactly do you want to repair? [16:55] pepee, #lad doesn't really help [16:55] i know im overlooking something. i can send email and i even installed webmin to do some testng and it sees mail but clients cant pull them from the server because it looks like the maildir settings arent correct [16:55] does anyone know how to kill pid ? [16:55] <_Marcus> hungryhubby: Depends on a lot of things [16:55] hungryhubby: there is more then one cpu from them, see ##hardware [16:55] <_Marcus> Arizona: kill -9 pid [16:55] gear4, :( [16:55] Arizona: sudo kill 12334 [16:55] _Marcus how do i get the pids ? [16:55] so its time to take a break and start over [16:55] _Marcus: please dont use -9 [16:55] <_Marcus> iceroot: Why? [16:55] Arizona: kill pid [16:55] can't someone here help ? [16:55] Are there known weirdnesses in VNC'ing to Ubuntu 11.10 from certain clients? Using Chicken of the VNC on Mac, it only paints the screen once locally; after that I have to look at the real screen to see what I'm doing [16:56] <_Marcus> iceroot: I was always told to use -9, what is best to use? [16:56] _Marcus: its bad, because its killing it directly and the program can not delete temp files, close sockets and so on [16:56] <_Marcus> iceroot: Ah [16:56] _Marcus: use kill pid which is using -15 by default [16:56] hello, i'm trying to format a fat filesystem usb, but it gives me this output, what's wrong?

[16:57] <_Marcus> zenith: It's recommended to pastebin that next time [16:57] pepee unless it comes on ubuntu server iso. no. [16:57] Ampix0, ahh k [16:57] Marcus: i did so many configurations on my pc and i installed kubuntu-desktop. So everything is messedup because of that kub..-desktop. I dont go for reinstall ubuntu. I want that my ubuntu looks like fresh thing. [16:58] i just setup my drives to easily format [16:58] pepee. ya this is fresh. Would you recommend just using ubuntu desktop for me? and maybe killing the x server when it's all ready [16:58] nagarjuna: so you want to remove kde? [16:58] just wipe the os and keep personal files in home [16:58] _Marcus, sorry :-( [16:58] Marcus: While installing windows we will get an option like repair. So it will repair all the conf file [16:58] pepee I assume that is pretty much the same thing? [16:58] so, anyone have suggestions for graphics programs that are nascently like paint.net in terms of ease of use? the gimp is just way too unstable for me to use on this machine :\ [16:58] iceroot: yes [16:58] !puregnome | nagarjuna [16:58] nagarjuna: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [16:58] Ampix0, i don't think so, but I don't know [16:58] i keep getting this issue where controls/menus don't draw until they're forced to refresh, which is quite annoying [16:58] <_Marcus> zenith: It's fine. You only had two lines, so it wasn't much. [16:58] nagarjuna: look there for the command to remove kde and dont use the last install command from that link [16:58] would this help: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f7d9d648eac53baafea163be0d6a95d4969d2991 [16:59] Escherial, inkscape [16:59] nagarjuna: or use it with the desktop you want [16:59] Ampix0, dmesg | less <- look for error messages [16:59] mkultra: inkscape is decent, but i'm looking for a raster editor, not a vector one [16:59] Hi, How do I prevent users from shutting down a computer unless they have superuser privileges ? [16:59] Escherial: gimp is very stable on ubuntu 10.04 [16:59] <_Marcus> styanash: Through a command? By default you need sudo to use the poweroff command or shutdown. [17:00] pepee this is as long as the bible.. is that bad XD [17:00] <_Marcus> styanash: Or did you mean through GUI [17:00] _Marcus, GDM allows nonroot users to shut down the computer.. [17:00] Ampix0, haha [17:00] rm -rf gdm [17:00] sacarlson: perhaps my window/menu redrawing issue isn't solely related to the gimp, then :\ [17:00] Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 239: Device udisks-luks-uuid-b22beb87-14b0-42ad-8dfb-4ad72cc3fb14-uid1000 already exists.

[17:01] MonkeyDust: that's helpful, thanks :) [17:01] pepee whoah wait [17:01] zenith alt + f2 and then enter nautilus [17:01] kish: did you clone a disk? [17:01] mkultra, what for? [17:02] pepee PCI: ignoring host bridge from windows from ACPI; if necessary , use "pci=use_crs" and report a bug [17:02] your pen drive [17:02] are there any logs in dovecot that would help me figure out why i cant recieve email? [17:02] pepee witha few related ignore messages below [17:03] BloodSkin: I've had problems within the last 12 or so months that I can't get mail from most sources if I don't have encrypted certs setup to recieve [17:04] thunderbird works for me.... [17:04] it looks like the mail is recieved but its not being sent to the right mailbox [17:04] one question, does an usb pendrive have guid or mbr table? [17:04] looks like it gets lost somewhere because webmin can see that it exists but nothing else can and it cant be listed [17:04] usb pendrives are generally windows ntfs or fat32 [17:04] Hi, How do I prevent users from shutting down a computer unless they have superuser privileges ? AKA disable GDMs Shutdown option ? [17:05] mkultra, that's the filesystem, i mean the table [17:05] disable gdm [17:05] satyanash: I thought that was default, you must be sudo to shutdown [17:05] Haha.. I would.. But it might interfere with other members of my family who might want to use the computer in my absence. [17:05] Ampix0, http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/ignoring-host-bridge-windows-acpi-recent-laptop-help-198938101.html#198938221 [17:06] sacarlson, How do you think the GUIs shutdown button works then ? [17:06] Ampix0, it says, "If your devices *are* working correctly, you can just ignore the hint." [17:06] guys any idea about the usb pendrive? [17:06] satyanash: I auto login to a user that's not sudo and he can't shutdown, I have to sudo to do it [17:06] is it ? [17:06] lemme check. [17:07] pepee im not understanding :/ [17:07] Ampix0, it is working, since at least you receive an IP address from a dhcp server [17:07] sacarlson, aahh. [17:08] sacarlson, it just returned back to my session. [17:08] Ampix0, the thing is, i don't know why it is not pinging :( [17:08] pepee I assume if i had a direct connection, this most likely would not be an issue [17:09] How do I create a bash script? [17:09] Ampix0, it is a vm? if so, vbox? [17:09] touch file.sh [17:09] Add to top: #!/bin/bash [17:09] done [17:09] Thanks. [17:09] pepee. Nope I actually orded a dell off ebay to use as a minecraft server. not knowing linux well was a big mistake.. lol [17:09] Ca11um: http://linuxcommand.org/ [17:09] !webmin | BloodSkin [17:09] BloodSkin: 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. [17:10] Ca11um: that's a very good starter's tutorial [17:10] so, what do you do if synaptic reports a package as broken? [17:10] pepee um how do i exit that message screen you gave me [17:10] my installed version of the gimp, for instance... [17:10] Ampix0, press q [17:11] pepee ty [17:11] sacarlson, shutdown button from other nonroot users did not work. However If I use the shut down button from the login screen.. it shut down the computer. [17:11] because no-one's logged in [17:11] I just compiled a kernel, all of it worked, except on reboot, I found ipv4 seemed to be missing [17:11] gear4, I was logged in.. [17:11] satyanash: I guess force auto login to guest as default, I guess gdm login is run as root [17:12] Escherial try sudo apt-get -f install (that's f for fix) [17:12] Ampix0, sorry, I think I can't help you :( [17:12] What could be the matter? I didn't switch it off in kernel options best I recall [17:12] Ampix0, try asking in #networking or ask again in this channel [17:12] <_Neytiri_> can someone please tell me where i can download 11.4 Yes i need 11.4 not 11.10 [17:12] sacarlson, if some one logs off on the guest account, then he can shut down the computer. [17:12] pepee. it's cool ill try with a direct connection when i can [17:13] Ampix0, how did you create the bridge? [17:13] satyanash: oh no it will probly put them back to gdm and can still shutdown then [17:13] with another linux machine? [17:13] "However If I use the shut down button from the login screen.. it shut down the computer." [17:13] _Neytiri_ http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [17:13] MonkeyDust: with no further arguments, or do i specify the package that's broken? [17:13] satyanash, "However If I use the shut down button from the login screen.. it shut down the computer." [17:13] Escherial just that [17:13] Ampix0, remember, ifconfig -a to see all your interfaces, and dhclient to get an IP address from a dhcp server [17:13] pepee. slecet both devices in dwindows. my usb wireless card and my network adapter and rightclick, create bridge [17:13] MonkeyDust: "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded." [17:13] my reply: "because no-one's logged in" [17:14] when i try to "fix broken packages" in synaptic, it complains that i have some held packages, although i don't remember holding anything [17:14] What does it say about Ubuntu when the homepage advertises some cloud computing service as opposed to the main centerpiece -- the operating system? [17:14] Escherial in Synaptic, on the left, look for Broken packages - i'm off now ask someone else for further advice [17:15] How could ipv4 have been disabled in my compiled Ubuntu kernel? [17:15] sacarlson, So, I guess I need to stop running gdm as root ? [17:15] MonkeyDust: thanks for your help, much appreciated [17:15] !fr [17:15] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[17:16] sacarlson, thnx. [17:16] Hello again [17:16] locsmif: did you try sudo dhclient eth0 ; ? [17:17] sacarlson: yes [17:17] I followed http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2012/01/13/compile-linux-kernel-3-2-for-ubuntu-11-10/ [17:17] Which worked [17:17] locsmif: ok is there a device eth0? maybe check with ifconfig ; [17:17] Kernel booted fine and smooth too [17:17] Does anyone know how to change the status bar to the date/time in DWM? [17:17] sacarlson: yes, but I'm in the older kernel now. [17:18] sacarlson: I had to manually load r8169, since I had blacklisted it, since r8169 had caused problems with my RTL chipset before: I had to compile r8168 every time. [17:19] r8169 however, failed to compile for the new kernel I had installed. [17:19] err [17:19] r8168. Correction. [17:19] However, r8169 normally gives a workable connection for a while, so I loaded that with modprobe [17:19] pepee, for what ? [17:20] eth0 appeared, and I attempted to configure it with dhclient as root. [17:20] I ran strace dhclient -v eth0 and found that dhclient was obstructed from creating a socket [17:20] eth0 seemed to have an ipv6 address but not ipv4 [17:20] That's about it. [17:20] Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .service files [17:21] The reason I need a new kernel is the random USB 3 harddisk resets which unmount root. [17:21] locsmif: well I guess move back to the older kernel then [17:21] sacarlson: that's what I'm on now.. [17:21] sacarlson: that's not really an option either, given its random USB 3 HDD disconnects. [17:22] locsmif: maybe it's slower but you might be able to force usb3 to usb2 mode [17:22] (Which are known at Launchpad, and supposedly a "fix" is out, which I was trying to get by updating my kernel) [17:22] sacarlson: hmmm [17:22] sacarlson: I could just connect it to an USB 2 port if I wanted that [17:23] It's an USB 3 harddisk, I bought it for that purpose [17:23] Hello can someone help me with a simple command? [17:23] locsmif: I've run some usb wifi device that needed to run at usb 1 speeds to be stable with some added command line [17:23] Whitebird, command ?

[17:27] I'm having issues with an areca sata controller that's not supported in 10.04 2.6.32-39 (default lucid kernel). So far I've modified the initrd image and manually insmoded the arcmsr.ko (updated version) so the installation process runs smoothly. I'm wondering if there's any other kernel or an alternate PPA that provides 10.04 compatible kernels with updated drivers [17:28] how do I easily type root as path to search? like ~ is for the home folder [17:28] Whitebird: just put / [17:28] sacarlson, I think the new location is /etc/init/gdm.conf [17:28] thanks [17:28] Whitebird: find -type c / > dir.txt 2> erro.txt [17:29] Whitebird: It will search in all your system. It may take a long time.....

[17:32] pepee: why? would you suggest such a thing? [17:32] sacarlson: no, but you can always do "sudo passwd root" type your password and then put a password for the root user. After that you can log in as root.

[17:37] this is my machine and i know what its the responsibilty [17:37] if you know how to enable [17:37] plase say it othervise [17:37] bla bla bla [17:37] plln, sudo [17:38] plln: it partly why we don't have 10,000 new viruses a day like windows due to the added security model [17:38] plln, stop repeating [17:38] sacarlson: this is my problem not yours :) [17:38] plln, sudo -i for a root shell [17:38] plln, and we dont support it, so please stop asking [17:39] bazhang: so who is talking linus towarlds ? [17:39] sacarlson, sure? http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/12/09/2215253/malware-found-hidden-in-screensaver-on-gnome-look [17:39] plln: you were already provide the method as you wanted to do it, you just weren't listening, others just suggested it was a bad idea [17:39] I'm still a little unclear how PPA's work. If I install this https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/firefox-aurora will it overwrite my current version of Firefox? [17:39] where is the community help, ubuntu's installer just crashed on someone after erasing my initial system and no one here gives a sh*t, Criously? [17:40] cacg [17:40] CacheMoney, it will update your ffox version [17:40] * apt will do it [17:41] awesome. I'm on irssi on my Android phone [17:41] CacheMoney: yes, the package manager will take the highest available version of firefox (from repo, or in your case a PPA) - you won't have 2 firefoxs installed [17:41] nmvictor: Did it report any erros when it crashed? [17:42] zykotick9: ok.. Is there any downside/risk in using this 'Aurora channel' of Firefox? [17:42] nmvictor: At what stage of the installation it crashed? [17:42] mcb_, thanks. None, just an empty text area on a dialog window with advice on how i can file a bug report. [17:42] i run nightly [17:43] CacheMoney: any PPA has a potential downside/risk... it's all up to you. I prefer stable to cutting edge myself. [17:43] mcb_, while Configuring target system. way after copying files. [17:43] and it's surprisingly stable [17:43] zykotick9: I prefer stable right now too. I'm pretty new to Linux and don't feel confident debugging anything. I'll play it safe for now [17:44] nmvictor, tried instlalling grub and checking if that systen works? [17:44] passstab: lol, something that is "nightly" cannot be "stable" in the 2 different definitions it's used in gnu/linux. [17:44] *system === mang0 is now known as Seryth [17:44] What version your are installing? And Configuring target system? I cant recall what part of the instalation is it........ [17:44] pepee, ok [17:44] yes but it has less issues then i would expect [17:45] pepee, so I guess i will have to chroot into the target system, right? [17:45] Does Ubuntu not come with a SSH client for executing commands? [17:45] can i ask a c c++ related query here? was getting some xinitthread error while running a simple moving circle program. what could be the problem? [17:45] I've tried Connect to server... with SSH, but it just opens a file browser [17:45] nmvictor, you don't even need to install grub, you can run some bootable utility and check if it boots [17:45] zykotick9: Just to make sure I understand how I would install it though, would I do the following: http://pastie.org/3595119 ? [17:45] nmvictor, from there, you can repair ubuntu [17:46] meet: not really on topic for the channel. you might try ##C++ [17:46] CacheMoney: looks good :) but i haven't tried. [17:46] Ca11um: no I don't think ssh is installed as default but it's in the repository [17:47] pepee, i dont understand the latter advice, the former seemed straight forward. so which bootable utilities do i need? [17:47] How to determine whether a Ruby library will install for Ruby 1.8 or Ruby 1.9 [17:47] zykotick9: ok thanks. Just trying to make sure I understand how to work with PPA's. Thanks.. [17:47] !ppa-purge > CacheMoney this might come in handy later ;) [17:47] CacheMoney, please see my private message [17:47] nmvictor, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [17:47] pepee, to run? === greenkobold is now known as hY8R1D [17:47] nmvictor, BUT if the system is severely broken, I would recommend reinstalling [17:48] Ca11um: the package you want is "openssh-client" in case it's not installed for some reason. try "ssh " from a terminal. [17:48] nmvictor, you will need to check if dpkg works [17:48] how? pepee === newbie|3 is now known as roubentou [17:49] zykotick9: I run $ ppa-purge: ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora to remove the recent install and revert back to stable version, correct? [17:50] CacheMoney: that i'm not 100% sure on! i've never used ppa-purge in my life. [17:50] !ppa-purge [17:50] 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 [17:50] peppe, ok. just read about supergrubdisk, Could we just go with chroot? [17:50] zykotick9: haha. Thanks for the tip though, I'm sure I can find something on Google. [17:50] CacheMoney, see above [17:50] CacheMoney, http://askubuntu.com/questions/78658/i-cant-download-firefox-just-aurora [17:50] what are these held broken packages synaptic keeps complaining about every time i try to install the gimp? [17:51] also, is there a release of the gimp 2.7 for ubuntu 11.10, or are we still on 2.6? [17:51] bazhang: i'd PM's CacheMoney !ppa-purge a few lines above your public one ;) [17:51] (i have a feeling i have a development source for the gimp, as i'm seeing it in my package manager) [17:51] Thanks, sipior. [17:51] zykotick9, ok nice, thanks [17:51] nmvictor, by using it. [17:52] nmvictor, if dpkg is working fine, and all programs run fine too, then it's all ok [17:52] Escherial, no, it's 2.6.12 [17:52] bazhang: strange, i just checked my /etc/apt/sources.list and there's nothing in there that looks non-official [17:52] is there some other place that synaptic reads sources from? [17:53] Escherial, not sure what you mean; the 12.04 version is what I am referring to [17:53] bazhang: ubuntu 12.04 you mean? i'm still on 11.10 afaik [17:53] sources.list.d is another location however [17:53] Escherial: maybe just forgot to sudo apt-get update; before attempted install or app upgrade? [17:53] nmvictor, do you understand? have you used ubuntu before? [17:54] sacarlson: just did a sudo apt-get update from the command line a few minutes ago, so i assume that's in order [17:55] aha, i do have some third-party sources for the gimp in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [17:55] pepee: Its my 4th year with ubuntu. [17:56] nmvictor, ahh ok [17:56] if i just go ahead and delete them, should my package manager stop giving me errors about broken and held broken packages? [17:56] pepee: I am on my chroot env, i guess i need to grub-insall /dev/sda, right [17:57] How do I change my password in ubuntu when it says it's too "weak"? I don't care if some software says my password choice is too weak, and I think it's annoying that it forces me not to change it rather than just suggesting. [17:57] Escherial: I guess purge might be in order [17:57] nmvictor, yep. http://linuxandfriends.com/2011/11/12/how-to-reinstall-grub2-chroot-into-a-linux-partition/ [17:58] Is there any system whereby I can add specific icons to all users' desktops? [17:58] Like a mandatory desktop [17:58] sacarlson: ok, did a sudo apt-get --purge remove gimp [17:58] Any idea how to change the global sans-serif font in Ubuntu Natty to something like Helvetica? [17:58] Ca11um, /etc/skel [17:58] pepee: Did that already, plus dpkl -l give up some nonsense to my screen window, so i guess its working, right guru? [17:59] my phone is mounted. How do I know which /dev/sdX it is? [17:59] bluefrog, doesn't that only apply when created? [17:59] supposedly it's gone, but i'm still seeing those third-party sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d (e.g. "matthaeus123-mrw-gimp-svn-natty.list") === freaky[t]_ is now known as freaky[t] [17:59] I want it so at any time I can add/remove/edit things [17:59] nmvictor, "guru" haha [17:59] Ca11um, yes [17:59] nmvictor, well, I suppose... [18:00] jussi: it might be the one mounted in /media folder [18:00] sacarlson: apologies for roping you into this; feel free to ignore if you're busy/ill-disposed [18:00] sacarlson: yes, its in there, but Im trying to find out whch device it is [18:00] (in /dev) [18:00] pepee: My million dolla concern, does "Configuring target system" come after creating users and al that comes with it? I dont want to boot to i system that doesnt even know i exist. [18:01] Ca11um, then you must script. [18:01] nmvictor, I don't know :/ [18:02] Hey, i am using ubuntu 12.04 beta 64bit, and i have a problem with the wireless connection, how do i fill out a bug report ? i don't know what to put it under. "ubuntu-bug wireless-network" or something like that? [18:02] pepee: never mind, i confirmed that.Thanks for your concern. See you on the other side, or this one. [18:02] jeggy, #ubuntu+1 for that [18:02] Escherial: now that the gimp is purged I assume you can remove that from your /etc/apt/sources.list [18:02] nmvictor, you can run dpkg --configure --pending to check if there are packages pending for configuration [18:02] alright, thanks ;) === vito_ is now known as Guest54910 [18:03] sacarlson: well, it was never in my /etc/apt/sources.list, but it was in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (not sure if that's approximately the same thing) [18:03] jussi, won't "sudo blkid" let you guess? [18:03] in any case, i moved them out of there into /etc/apt/sources.list.BACKUP/ just in acse [18:04] Escherial: I guess it is much the same [18:04] nmvictor, and dpkg-reconfigure -a if you want to reconfigure all packages... it will take some time :) [18:04] *case, even :\ and yes, gimp 2.7.5 is gone and with it the broken packages. i'm kind of vexed by this, though, since i'd rather like 2.7.5 [18:04] Escherial: maybe the one you find in the ubuntu ppa might be more stable [18:04] jussi: do a $ ls -lah /dev/disk/by-uuid the one that has an ID like 0000-0000, four numbers-four numbers should be it, and it will show to what sd? it is link to. [18:05] i'd settle for gimpshop or gimphoto, though [18:05] sacarlson: most likely, yes; thanks for the help [18:05] Ive got it, thanks [18:06] pepee: ha, that was cool. Alls fine, except for my flashplugin-downloader which was pending installation in my former system. This is actually a remastered copy I was reinstalling,FUI. [18:06] jussi: just to register.... $ ls -lah by-label is much better. [18:06] how do i install awesome window manager on ubuntu? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=awesome this says it is in the software manager from what i understand [18:06] pepee: BB [18:06] Does anyone know how to change the status bar to the date/time in DWM? [18:07] kurtcocaine: sudo apt-get install awesome; then you should be able to select it on the login screen [18:07] kurtcocaine, aptitude install awesome [18:08] trism: thanks [18:09] hey is there any apps i can use to listen to a mic over internet (without ack from the computer sending the stream ) ? [18:10] kurtcocaine: awesome is the most difficult WM to use and customize i've ever played with. but it's really rewarding once you, figure it out. [18:11] dragonkeeper: without the computer sending the stream? skype? [18:11] Awesome OS, looking forward to 12.04 [18:11] kurtcocaine: big tip, if rc.lua is broken in anyway you lose all your settings - ALWAYS have backups available. [18:12] dragonkeeper: you can record it local and receive the sound.wav over internet later if that's what you mean [18:12] sacarlson no i mean the computer sending the stream has noone there but has a mic attached . is it possible to send a command to it so i can listen on that device from anywhere ? [18:12] How resource intensive is Flash player? [18:12] I'm playing a game via Wine, and when playing YouTube in the background I get like 7 fps [18:12] When it finishes, I get like 30 [18:13] dragonkeeper: espeak can be fun if you are sshed in ;) no idea on trying to stream the mic though - good luck === q0rban is now known as ericduran2 [18:13] dragonkeeper: I'm lost , the computer has a mic and it has internet, so why wouldn't you be able to record and stream over internet?

[18:16] AllanLinux: If I get it right, in that file of yours you have some lines if two columns separated by ; and you have some line that have just one column if no ;? If is it you do $ grep -v ; FILE > NEW_FILE [18:16] join #hbg === hY8R1D is now known as o0o0o [18:16] ok, now that we're back to a working version of gimp, is there something like the gimp that includes the much-touted "single window mode" of 2.8? [18:16] yes, only email addresses [18:16] Andrew_Lee: do $/join #Channel..... [18:17] i know there's a 2.7.5 dev snapshot, but it seems unstable on my machine to the point of being unusable [18:17] not to mention throwing my package manager into a panic about held broken packages [18:17] Allanlinux: By every line has the semi colom? if so do $awk -F ';' '{prnt$2}' FILE > NEW_FILE === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [18:18] dragonkeeper: to start you would need to have ssh server setup on your remote side to enable control, then maybe something like this http://www.adriancoroian.com/technical-stream-audio-on-the-web-with-pulseaudio-in-ubuntu-10-10/ [18:18] Allanlinux: Typos..... if every line has the semi colom? if so do $awk -F ';' '{print$2}' FILE > NEW_FILE [18:19] I'll test the two commands, one time!

When I need to get to it, I have to minimize any windows because I can't stall on the left edge to get it to pop up without moving over to my host [19:16] drPoO: I couldnt find anything along those exact lines, but this could be relevant: http://blog.al4.co.nz/2010/05/configuring-the-raid-array/ [19:16] doesn't R2 mean it's a release candidate and not an actual release? [19:16] hello i need help, grub doesn't detect my windows, plus gparted live cd says that it is corrupt (the windows partition) and cannot fix it [19:17] I expect anything with R# to be buggy and I tend not to use them...

[19:23] Is there any software method to bypass BIOS fan control? [19:24] BIOS and i8kutils fight over fan control, causing it to cycle between different settings [19:24] I can disable the fan control in BIOS, in hidden menu that gets reset at system reboot [19:30] hi, why is "wget -m -k -K --no-parent -e robots=off en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU" downloading all english wikibooks instead of just that one about qemu?? [19:32] Good evening. Anybody out there who can help with a networking problem on 11.10 server (64bit)? [19:32] Harald__: best is to just state your question (detailed) and then see if anyone can help you [19:32] great idea :) [19:33] ok, I have everthing up'n running. During install, I only had the built-in ethernet card [19:33] then I added a USB WLAN dongle [19:33] lsusb found it and wpa-supplicant all works dandy [19:34] however, when I now reboot witht he cable disconnected, I can't access the system [19:34] only when I conect the cable does the WLAN kick in [19:34] I have changed the order of the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces, but that had no effect [19:34] hello everybody [19:35] i just installed sapphire HD 4870 GDDR5 512MB i'm using Ubuntu, what can i do to install the drivers to have the befenif of the graphics card? [19:36] Does anyone know of a .deb for build-essential that I could put on a usb drive and install on an Ubuntu computer. I need build-essential to compile a new e1000e for my NIC that isn't recognized by Ubuntu. [19:36] !aptoncd | kfizz [19:36] kfizz: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [19:37] http://www.aardvarknyc.com/about/dolphins-rape-people/ [19:38] oh wow [19:38] does anyone here knows how to setup pound reverse proxy to pass the client ip from a request? all i see on my nginx logs is requests from 127.0.0.1 [19:38] disregard that link [19:39] xsl: maybe try #nginx channel [19:40] oCean, was my question detailed enough? [19:40] megalomix, use jockey [19:40] Harald__: I think it is. Try to type it all in one single line, so you can repeat it in say 10 or 15 minutes, maybe then someone is available/able to help you [19:40] escott, i'm installing fglrx [19:41] is this not good ? [19:41] I'm needing to code a custom (quite basic) app to make outgoing voip calls to landlines/mobiles. I found sipsimple which is an extensive Python library but just wanted to ask if there was a better solution (ie shortcut). [19:42] jerel: This is not really the best place to ask. Maybe you could try somewhere else. [19:43] ok - the question as a one-liner: what do I need to do to make my USB WLAN-dongle "listen" at boot-up? currently it only becomes active if I connect the ethernet cable to eth0. I'm running 11.10 Server 64bit... [19:44] you dont [19:45] Zeusking19: hmm ok. I've racked my brain over where "somewhere else" could be. I thought perhaps Ekiga, Empathy, etc may provide a way to do what I need [19:45] hello all, does somebody knew a software for linux like dreamweaver for windoof [19:46] jerel: I have no knowledge over the subject. Sorry :( [19:46] sure np :) [19:46] I have a strange problem: I have a nvidia ION GPU in an Asus net book. After the login into my account, all AVI movies are dark (all players). The same with cheese: dark webcam image. Now: Changing to another user on the same computer and same GPU (logout, login) solves this problem: I can see AVI movie with all players and cheese does also work. Q: Is there any config file in the home directory which may hamper displaying videos? [19:46] how to check if ~/pam_environment is read? [19:46] Anyone tried out the 12.04 Beta [19:46] ? [19:47] wieso, it would depend on what application you were using to play the vid3eo [19:47] mihir, lots of people in #ubuntu+1 [19:47] @pepee How is it compared to the 10.04? [19:48] Escherial: totem, VLC and others <= same problem [19:48] And what DE does does it use? [19:48] mihir, no idea [19:48] escott: totem, VLC and others <= same problem [19:48] wieso, then it sounds like an issue with the xv extension [19:48] xv extension? [19:48] wieso, not sure why that would be user specific though [19:48] Ok So I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Remastered with Xubuntu Desktop Environment and also alternatively with XFCE 4.8 Unmodified [19:49] wieso, maybe you have accelerated desktop enabled and the other users dont? [19:49] escott: believe me, I tried a couple of times ... [19:49] can somebody tell me a software for linux to create easly html. i only knew dreamweaver for windows :-( [19:49] escott: I have reset already compiz [19:49] !html | dariebi [19:49] dariebi: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages.

[19:49] escott: yes, they do [19:50] @ubottu thank you very much [19:50] escott: is there any config file from nvidia stored in the home dir? [19:50] wieso, if you have mplayer installed I would test if it is an xv issue by trying to play the video with different options mplayer -vo x11 video.avi and mplayer -vo xv video.avi [19:50] hi there !!! [19:51] escott: I will try mom [19:51] any software to connect my android with ubuntu ?? [19:51] wieso, probably but i dont know enough about nvidia to say where. i generally avoid their products [19:51] antaras, adb? [19:51] escott, what ?? [19:51] antaras, how do you want to connect to your phone. the developer tools and adb will run just fine [19:51] looking for an app to let me open multiple terminals at once, and everything i type goes to every terminal -- ive seen this on mac [19:52] escott: mplayer -vo x11 video.avi <= displays video !!!! [19:52] Aikar, probably some advanced feature of screen [19:52] escott: so now wot ? [19:52] wieso, try it with -vo xv it will probably be black [19:52] i dont know what is the adb .. but i google it to find .. thanx anyway :) [19:53] mom [19:53] escott: u r right, it is black [19:53] antaras, its just a very vague question you are asking. im not sure what you mean by it [19:53] hmmm [19:54] Hi there just updated my iphone to latest software im running ubuntu 10.10 and now im getting a lock error anyone have any ideas as to what i might do?

[19:58] antaras, for phone mods and to access files on the system root you would need to use adb, for files in the user data section you can just treat it as a usb mass storage unless it is a new galaxy nexus ICS in which case it uses some weird protocol b/c they didn't put the host circuitry in the phone [19:58] hey guys please help wit backtrack [19:58] juboba: There's a config file somewhere I was poking around in earlier, let me try and remmeber which one it was [19:58] how can i update skype [19:58] Heya - I'm having trouble getting my laptop (Atheros chipset) to connect to my WEP network.

[20:00] Is there a timeless linux book that every linux user should read? [20:00] juboba: I'm not sure. I started yesterday, but I don't suppose it could hurt to try [20:01] escott: hmmm ... need to eat ... thanks a lot !!! [20:01] juboba: Yes you can edit /etc/default/grub using a liveCD. But be sure to edit the file that is in your HD. [20:01] yes [20:01] mcb_1, but I have to run update-grub [20:02] juboba: Why run update-grub? [20:02] juboba: I understand that you only changed the grub menu timeout...... [20:03] How do I unlock the www folder so I can move a folder into it? [20:03] yes but grub2 needs to run update-grub [20:03] frisx: I'm guessing you'd have to check the ownership of the www folder [20:03] I have tried chmod 777 www but that does not work [20:04] hm :\ [20:04] OK. Change the file first and then run update.... [20:04] Seidr: how do I check ownership [20:04] How do you get Banshee Media Player to actually open a file? [20:04] s [20:04] ls -alh will display group/user ownership [20:04] I've tried opening an audio file with it, and nothing happens [20:05] you can change ownership with chown : www === HELP is now known as Guest32500 [20:07] Seidr: current owner is root root [20:07] and I guess you're currently root?

[20:10] frisx: ok, to change the owner you'd have to be root..but I agree, 777 should of done the trick [20:10] uzumki991: The floobots are bots, not humans.

[20:17] i cant seem to find debs after compiling a kernel, where should they be? [20:17] <_Marcus> Lunar_Lander: Most likely.

[22:13] haha [22:13] never midn [22:13] mind [22:13] Kull: try changing the VO in mplayer as a test - "mplayer -vo x11 file.foo" also test ".. -vo xv .." [22:14] zykotick9: that works, and so does fbdev drivers... so what's teh source of the problem? [22:15] Kull: x11 works? try gl [22:15] gl works with massive stutter [22:15] Kull: what graphics cards to you have [22:15] Integrated intel [22:16] Just stopped working, I havent even reboot in weeks.

[22:16] nancy--: apt-get nistall mysql-server [22:17] thx [22:17] install* [22:17] Kull: ok. well, drivers "shouldn't" be an issue, but i don't really have any suggestions (x11 sucks with fullscreen usually), xv is usually the problem, and gl or gl2 would probably be ideal [22:17] zykotick9: xv does not work, x11 does [22:18] Kull: ya, that's not uncommon [22:18] zykotick9: what is uncommon is for my damn system to stop working for no apparent reason. [22:18] Kull, earlier wieso claimed that this was caused by setting the contrast setting in totem at its lowest level. [22:19] Kull: with ubuntu, that's common to ;) [22:19] escott: I dont even use totem. [22:19] One of those silly questions, anyone have code for .bashrc to colour password prompt? :P [22:19] jn__: i highly doubt that's an option/possible [22:20] hehe okay [22:20] jn__: just google it [22:20] !google > soaringsky [22:20] soaringsky, please see my private message [22:20] Kull, how to give ftp access to /var/www folder ? [22:20] jn__: definitely possible [22:20] Kull, he claimed it was a cross application setting of some kind, i assumed it was an nvidia driver issue and left it at that [22:21] nancy--: read the documentation that comes with the software. Read the man pages. If you dont know how to set up a server then maybe you should let someone else do it for you or read the documentgation, which clearly explains it -- much better than I could.

[23:07] it shows the different options (ubuntu, recover, etc) [23:07] mylisto23: You're welcome.

[23:34] i want to keep most of the bloatware so i have to do this recovery [23:34] hawthoerne, yes back up or recovery same thing basically, type it in search go there a s a admin, or it will prompt for the password. I assume you run in a limited account. [23:34] why is it impossible to completely get rid of unity and bluetooth? [23:35] Therion87, recovery disks [23:35] How much data you have? Back up to an external HDD? [23:35] Are you backing up programs too? [23:35] my external hdd is finicky [23:35] tanath, It is not really advised to remove unity, it is rather small anyway. [23:36] Fyodorovna, why? [23:36] i use the thing where it asks you if you want to allow programs admin permission [23:36] i forgot what its called [23:36] Fyodorovna, i don't want it and have no intention of ever using it. i want it gone. i also don't have bluetooth and want to get rid of that too, but removing one requires installation of the other [23:36] its been over a year since that class [23:36] tanath, kind of intertwined with compiz as a plugin and part of gnome 3 [23:37] Guys I have used Win98 fdisk and format utilities which has changed the external appearance of the partition table which was created by parted, the question is how to return the partition to its original state? [23:37] Fyodorovna, not going to enable unity plugin in compiz [23:38] tanath, what desktop are you using? === mint is now known as tazcook [23:38] Fyodorovna, xfce [23:38] tanath, cool good desktop. [23:38] Fyodorovna, and gnome as backup if needed... [23:39] Fyodorovna, so call me ocd if you want, but i don't see a good reason why removal of unity/bluetooth would require installation of the other. that should be fixed [23:40] tanath, not sure myself, make a clone of the OS is probably best really. === lord-ivan is now known as angeleyes [23:41] Fyodorovna, so compiz has a unity plugin... doesn't mean it's being used. and if there's no unity, the plugin should simply be unusable [23:41] Fyodorovna, seriously? you think making and maintaining my own distro is the best solution, rather than fixing an otherwise decent existing distro? [23:41] Fyodorovna, i don't have time for that... [23:42] Just installed ubuntu server. it says "Server tty1" and then it's blank, no shell [23:43] tanath, I never told you to use the unity plugin. Do what you want I can't help. [23:43] Fyodorovna, ubuntu is becoming more and more difficult to customize. it's sad [23:43] is dd the best way to make DVD backups (including copy protected DVDs)? [23:43] Fyodorovna, huh? i never implied you did... [23:44] how do i determine which interface sound for rythmbox is using? === angeleyes is now known as lord-pain [23:44] Q: Two users login into the same account (both are far away). User1 wants to show in life user2 what he types. How can this be done? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [23:44] zivester, not really. some copy protection will fail if you use dd [23:45] wieso, perhaps using 'screen', but i'm not entirely sure how you'd do that [23:45] bots [23:45] EvilResistance: screen is a commandline prog? [23:46] zivester: If you're only going to be playing the DVD backup from Ubuntu, or with another player that uses DECSS anyway, then yes. For the odd DRM which creates virtual scratches (Purposefully incorrect checksums on some blocks) you'll want to use GNU ddrescue (which is *not* the same as the dd_rescue script). [23:46] wieso, yes, if you want GUI, i dont think you can, unless you're using a screen-sharing program or something [23:46] How do you guys feel about Lubuntu? I am using Xubuntu now but it has a few issues I really dont like [23:46] EvilResistance: no, I want terminal [23:46] Tunix2, you might ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:46] zivester: And there's no downside to using GNU ddrecue for non DRM'd dvds either. [23:47] wieso, then `screen` might be what you're looking for [23:47] can anyone tell me how to determine sound interface? [23:47] EvilResistance: thx [23:47] EvilResistance, will do [23:47] Hello! Would it be rude of me to barge in here and ask a question? [23:48] (sorry about the guest nickname) [23:49] Guest78476: Ask away? [23:49] how do i geta grub menu when booting (10.4) [23:50] Guest78476: thats why this room is for :) [23:50] Jordan_U, tanath: thanks... so ddrescue will give me a direct clone of whatever DVD I have .. sounds like exactly what i need [23:50] is it just this simple? `ddrescue -n -b 2048 /dev/dvd dvd.iso /tmp/dvd.log` ? [23:51] So basically, a laptop I am working on for a friend recently had its paging file corrupted, and I want to go into it and salvage some files [23:51] (the laptop uses windows XP) [23:51] I booted the laptop into Ubuntu with a USB drive [23:51] but I can't find/access the native hard drive [23:51] how to determine which audio interface rythmbox is using? [23:52] how do i geta grub menu when booting (10.4) [23:52] shift [23:52] Guest78476, nothing there not in the OS. [23:52] I was wondering how I could go about mounting the native hard drive, and recovering some files without having to format it over [23:53] I see a hard drive called casper -rw but I don't think that is the native drive is it? [23:53] cowslammer: try the shift key or the arrow keys .... while the computer starts to boot, you may also try increasing the countdown time in the grub config [23:53] how to determine which audio interface rythmbox is using? [23:54] so tl;dr how do I mount a hard drive that has windows on it, even if it's paging file is corrupted?

[23:57] hello === wasd is now known as whatasunnyday [23:57] hello everybody i have a quick ? how can i add a notification sound when i connect my laptop to a network [23:57] Fyodorovna: i think he mean the paging files are corrupted but he wants to salvage other files from the disk [23:57] The file that is either corrupted or missing is ntfs.sys fyodorovna [23:58] hey guys !! [23:58] I see a hard drive called casper-rw, but thats about it [23:58] hello, can someone help me?
