[00:01] weird problem I'm having... in unity (and gnome-shell), evince PDF files contain invisible fonts... I have looked through google, but can't find why... it was fine until I played with ccsm settings, or maybe something else, not sure [00:01] i think i'm gonna use a virtual machine for ubuntu [00:01] thanks fyodorovna! [00:01] the ati/amd proptietary graphics driver [00:01] hello lads, does anyone know how to fix a issue with the update manager? it doesn't open when I click on it [00:01] Where can I locate the netinstall image?

[00:02] it keeps telling me to look at the log file [00:02] I think you can apt-get for update manager [00:02] I only see alternative, netbook, server, and desktop [00:02] veiga: open the terminal and run update-manager [00:02] okluar, xpdf, evince, all have the same issue.... it's really weird....

You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gnome-panel" Though when I try to run the apt-get install command it tells me its at its latest version already. [00:03] i dont even know what the hell a log file is [00:03] im a total linux noob [00:04] a log file is when the system logs information in a text file [00:04] Mike9863: try removing it completely by "sudo apt-get purge gnome-panel" and then installing it [00:05] Mike9863 might want to try purging/reinstalling: sudo apt-get remove purge gnome-panel && apt-get install gnome-panel [00:05] I had my semi transparent terminal maximized and my screen dimmed out in gnome.. the background was lighter and it looked really cool. [00:07] hello lads, does anyone know how to fix a issue with the update manager? it doesn't open when I click on it [00:07] veiga: did you try running it from the command prompt ?

[00:09] if you paste the error messages and possibly the logs it mentions on www.pastebin.com or something one of us can take a look [00:09] which card do you have? [00:09] ati amd 6600 HD [00:09] nitinab: how can I do that? [00:09] veiga: open the terminal and type update-manager [00:09] does anybody know what supported arch's grub can run on? Basically I am wondering if it can be used as a bootloader for mips , arm, blackfin, microblaze ,...etc archs or is it just for x86/64 [00:09] what version of ubuntu? [00:09] amd radeon hd 6600m seties [00:09] is this a laptop? [00:09] i guess so [00:10] yes a laptop running ubuntu 10.10 [00:10] 11.10 [00:10] hi everybody...

[00:10] i've gotten a ton of random ati cards working easily under different flavors of linux, infact i've never had one that didnt work one way or another [00:10] so dont worry, it's just a matter of getting the right combo [00:10] your card will work [00:11] can somebody try to explain me how is that ... trying to install drivers the system says me that I haven't the permissions??? [00:11] nitinab: it says: The application Compiz has closed unexpectedly [00:11] show us the errors you are getting [00:11] Mike9863: try alt+super+right click [00:11] azend, sudo su [00:11] glad to here [00:11] trism: That's it.

[00:14] copy/paste to pastebin.com [00:14] I think the problem is that jockey is started by the normal user... so, how can I launch it from terminal?

Can anyone explain this discrepency? [01:47] where is theme folder located on gnoome ? [01:47] lewis1711, your cpu might have some sort of powermanagement. [01:47] and only use 1800MHz when it's necessary. [01:48] oh, so, /proc/cpuinfo tells me the *current* clockspeed?

What ubuntu did you upgrade to? [02:02] I had a notebook die on me and then between a hospital run and coming home to no machine and rebuilding an old E machine which I am using now [02:04] hydrox, I installed an old version of 9.10 I believe then had to upgrade and then the problem started now I cannot find the front slash on this keyboard and I have tried all the Canadian options the old one was a French Canadian Legacy I believe === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 [02:05] maheanuu: so you upgraded FROM 9.10 TO 10.04? [02:06] hydrox24, yes as I had to find drivers and stuff for this old NEC Machine [02:07] maheanuu: Unfortunately, your issue is quite obscure and so the best advice, without delving into too deeply is to do a clean 11 [02:07] *11.10* install or wait for 12.04 [02:08] maheanuu: sorry that I couldn't be more helpful, I understand that answer is likely insufficient. [02:08] I'm getting a new machine soon. I might go straight to 12.04. I assume it can update itself once the stable release is out? [02:09] Hey there, using ubuntu 10.10, im having an issue with flash player. On somewebsites Jw flash players gives me a black screen, no play/pause button, just a black box where the video should be. Im using flash 10.3. Anyone experienced this or have an idea? [02:09] hey folks! anyone have time to assist in configuring multi-monitor support? i think i'm part way there. i am using the NVidia X Server Settings, but when I save it asks me to "restart the X server". so I log out and back in and I just have a white screen on one monitor [02:09] kingsizeba: flash can be a pain on linux... does refreshing the page help? [02:10] Hi. How do I open an epub file in Ubuntu? [02:10] burfl: I would recommend not using multiple X servers and going with the twinview option. That way it restarts things for you when you hit 'apply' [02:10] hydrox24, refreshing does nothing, ive tried a few simple things and had no luck. also, it was out of random the player stopped working for it used to work [02:10] StevenX: use the program 'calibre' [02:10] i tried that "TwinView" thing and it didn't work very well :( [02:10] hydrox24, thanks. [02:11] kingsizeba: what browser are you using? [02:11] can anyone help me troubleshoot wine sound? stopped working after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 [02:11] burfl: It works pretty well for me, what issue do you have specifically? [02:11] hydrox24, firefox 3.6 [02:11] tried epiphany also [02:12] kingsizeba: can I recommend the latest firefox? It is more likely to work well. Chrome works excellently with flash on linux for most people too. [02:12] why is #wine invite only? [02:12] hydrox24: gimme one sec, I'll fire it up again and tell you what the problem is.. if i remember correctly it had to do with the fact that my monitors are two different sizes and it treats them as one giant screen so there are parts not visible [02:12] tanath: I think it's only for devs and those debugging WINE itself. wine problems are usually solved by distro support, e.g US! [02:13] tanath, try #winehq [02:13] hydrox24 actually, still white screen... odd [02:13] mm [02:13] even in TwinView [02:13] waxstone, ty [02:13] hydrox24, ill try that, hydrox thx. [02:13] burfl: whole thing or just one of the monitors? [02:13] kingsizeba: no prob! [02:14] hydrox24, is there an apt get command for it? i dont thinkso [02:14] hydrox24 only one monitor is all white, also the other monitor was stretched off screen in that direction like it was trying to be all one panoramic view, i just let it timeout and revert [02:14] hydrox24, sorry im forevernoob with this thing. ;) downloading tar [02:17] anyone else have wine sound stop working on moving to 11.10? [02:17] burfl, may or may not help, i am using ARandR Screen Layout Editor 0.1.3, using a laptop with monitor as the main. might want to check it otu [02:17] and/or wine 1.4 [02:17] does the separate screen option just not work? [02:18] burfl, not sure barf, im sure it does, works with my laptop. the program identifies monitors and you can adjust setting for each [02:19] :) all [02:19] elo [02:20] Quick question. Will 10.10 install a grub2 during install? [02:20] ur2d2r yes. [02:20] well, i downloaded drivers from NVidia's website, but i'm not sure how to use them.. it's a "*.run" file [02:20] ur2d2r grub2 is the default bootloader [02:21] arch wiki says "If winecfg fails to detect the audio driver (Selected driver: (none)), configure it via the registry." but it's already set to alsa, and used to work before [02:22] I am trying to completely wipe my Sda to install puppylinux and im not sure if installing ubuntu will help or hurt. Any ideas? [02:22] Can I completely wipe the drive in ubuntu? [02:22] Grub2 and all? [02:22] ur2d2r, just install puppy and install grub in it. [02:23] ur2d2r you don't need to wipe ubuntu, just format your partitions ... [02:23] using 10.04 how do I turn off password checking when the screen saver kicks in? [02:23] ur2d2r, puppy has several choices grub 2 is one of them. [02:23] I've been trying to install lucid puppy for 3 days and it won't allow sda3 to unmount.

[02:25] ur2d2r: run "fuser -m /dev/sda3" [02:25] ur2d2r, just boot a gprted or ubuntu disc and remove what you want hopefully.

[02:31] cdb Not sure is this a safety feature, an element of the weird configuration wubi requires or what, but by default, wubi ubuntu won't see win7. [02:32] ur2d2r: run "fuser -m /dev/sda3" [02:32] then [02:32] cdb further, wubi is for *testing out* ubuntu, not a long-term solution. so says the developer. [02:32] ur2d2r: then, run "ps auxw|grep XXX" replacing XXX with the PID no. you just got [02:32] ah [02:32] ur2d2r: that will tell you the name of the process tying up the drive [02:32] cdb alternative/upgrade to wubi would be the dual boot option. [02:32] then just run "kill XXXX" replacing XXXX with the pid number. [02:33] then umount the drive [02:33] hydrox24: Okay just finished installing 10.10 loading now.

[02:37] ah i didn't know. it worked flawlessly when i first installed it so i wasn't expecting this to happen today. [02:37] hydrox24: Okay. Could you walk me through Terminal? Not much experience. [02:37] that's what i'm trying now. i have ubuntu installed to the same hd as windows 7. [02:37] cdb ... so it's NOT a multi HDD installation?

[02:39] what commands should I run first to do Wi-Fi diagnostics? [02:39] now it just gives me an error about wubi after choosing ubuntu and then boots into it [02:39] cdb on a single HDD system, you'd want to boot your windows and "repair" windows. That WILL kill the wubi boot. Then boot windows and delete wubi. Finally, boot ubuntu usb/cdrom and install ubuntu. [02:39] gdea73 does wifi boot? [02:40] cdb boot windows DVD/USB and repair [02:40] all right i'll try that [02:40] "does wifi boot"? I'm not sure I understand. [02:40] Wi-Fi isn't functional. Network Manager reports that it's disabled. The LED on the front of the laptop reports that it's on. [02:40] gdea73 poor language, sorry.. Does your wifi WORK? Can you get on the internet?

[03:09] ur2d2r: look in private messages [03:09] rahail: oh if it never gets as far as grub then it's out of our hands, if no settings in bios to fix it, maybe flash the bios (last resort) [03:09] Jeremy3D, there are keybindings in compiz but I have never messed around there. [03:10] Fyodorovna, someone mentioned using metacity --replace so to use blender, both for the key bindings and because compiz wont be eating up my graphics processing power [03:10] Jeremy3D, not sure really I only tweak my setup a little really. [03:10] Fyodorovna, i've searched all over the net and nothing seems to be working. unless i remap everything and i was hoping i could just change ALT keys to SUPER keys like you can with metacity [03:11] Fyodorovna, but i cant figure out why when i run metacity i lose all my panels and whatnot [03:11] Jeremy3D, because all that runs with a compiz plugin, you replaced compiz with metacity [03:12] Fyodorovna, is there anyway to run metacity with metacity plugins? [03:12] hi guys! I have a weird situation where I can ssh into my box, but I cannot ping or apt-get anything from inside it [03:12] Jeremy3D, not sure really. [03:12] I've heard that it is an issue with my dns settings, but what confuses me is that when I google "ubuntu dns" I just get information on how to set up BIND [03:13] All my pop-up windows appear as a roll-down from the window bar. Is there a way to make them appear just as normal pop-up windows? [03:13] gantry, gnome 3? [03:13] Yes === _h4ckm3 is now known as h4ckm3 [03:14] Fyodorovna, yes [03:14] w32stuxnet: so I guess it has local lan network access just no internet. can you ping the box you came in on? I guess check route and dns [03:14] w32stuxnet, can you ping ip addresses like say 8.8.8.8? [03:14] gantry, I have not seen any tweaks. [03:14] <_Neytiri_> how do i get the 10.4 desktop in 11.10 [03:15] _Neytiri_, only thing close is the fallback not exactly the same, install the gnome-shell to get it. [03:15] taglass: yep [03:15] w32stuxnet: ya try ping 8.8.8.8 as taglass suggested that will rule out dns if it fails [03:15] why am i banned from #defocus [03:16] taglass: I'm receiving pingg reponses around 19ms when I do that [03:16] great! [03:16] 8.8.8.8 happens to be one of googles dns servers. On most systems you could sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf, but apparently ubuntu is different. [03:16] w32stuxnet: so must be dns probem then, you can look at /etc/resolv.conf and see what values it contains [03:17] nameserver 202.60.90.7 [03:17] nameserver 202.60.90.2 [03:17] Should I change that to the google DNS perhaps? [03:17] and thanks for your help, by the way. [03:18] w32stuxnet: ya you could try that change your 202.60.90.7 top to 8.8.8.8; I think it will be deleted at the next dhcp but it should work long enuf to try [03:18] <_Neytiri_> Fyodorovna, thanks [03:19] _Neytiri_, np problem. [03:19] when someone becomes available I would greatly appreciate some assistance with an issue involving iphone mounting - although the iphone is mounting with access to files/folders, but it returns an error [Unable to mount iPhone]DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered --- dmesg | tail @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/884257/ -[- using Lucid 10.04 -]- [03:20] replace the first one with 8.8.8.8? [03:21] w32stuxnet: ya worth a try [03:21] sacarlson, that worked perfectly [03:22] w32stuxnet: ok so I guess both your dns servers are down today, so if access is available you can edit your dhcpd server and add 8.8.8.8 to the list so that it will work after a dhcp lease expires or other [03:23] dose anyone know what its called when you drag a window to the side of the desktop and then it resizes to half the desktop is called [03:23] dose anyone know what its called when you drag a window to the side of the desktop and then it resizes to half the desktop [03:23] brianp1992, compiz?? [03:24] w32stuxnet, You should be able to make it permanent by clicking the network indicator, edit connections, select your connection, edit, change Method: Automatic to Method: Addresses only and entering 8.8.8.8 in DNS servers [03:24] dj, and when you drag a window to the top it automaticly maxemizes it [03:24] why am i banned from #defocus [03:25] w32stuxnet: ya taglass is correct you could manualy edit in network-manager also [03:25] brianp1992, yeah look in youtube for ubuntu + compiz [03:25] i'm going to try to figure out hwo to do it [03:25] !tell brianp1992 about compiz [03:25] brianp1992, please see my private message [03:26] dj, wow thanks :) [03:26] w32stuxnet: oh but your ssh into the box so not sure how to gui that from ssh [03:28] why am i banned from #defocus [03:28] !ot | kalimojo [03:28] kalimojo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[04:06] there used to be a list on the side. File System, Hard Drive, CD/DVD Rom, but its gone now [04:06] sulphur16: I also don't see this file on my system /etc/default/avahi-daemon do you? [04:06] anyway to bring it back? i don't know how to get into that hard drive [04:07] satyanash, You could run MASM or TASM under dosbox, or use something like as86. 16 bit assembly isn't that well supported on linux. [04:07] i hve just reinstalled 10.04 and forgotten where to get sun java [04:07] Jeremy, can you see your HD in other ways using the CLI?

[04:17] webnet??? [04:18] sound problem help? [04:18] can someone tell me where to get sun java for 10.04? [04:19] i cant get your ansers [04:19] please say agian [04:19] stone_, ok i found the correct partition with disk utility and remounted the drive. it's in media now so i can get to it [04:20] satyanash, taglass, nasm is a good assembler for 16-bit x86 and should be in Ubuntu repos [04:20] hey after i set up vsftpd, how do I get it so I can access my ftps server from filezilla on my other pc? [04:21] kmc, so it does. Certainly better than as86 :) [04:22] ok so Ubuntu2d in the login screen is basically ubuntu without compiz effects (like using ctrl+alt+right to switch views)? [04:22] err unity* [04:23] @jeremy, excellent. [04:23] cowslammer, http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html [04:23] kmc, could you point me to a good tutorial on getting started using NASM for 16 bit ? [04:24] cowslammer, Sun java is no longer supported by Ubuntu, and the PPAs that used to exist are all out of date from what I can tell. [04:25] satyanash, not exactly, but here's a PC boot sector graphics demo written in NASM assembly: https://github.com/kmcallister/phosphene/blob/master/phosphene.asm [04:26] there are nasm docs here: http://www.nasm.us/docs.php [04:26] it's also quite similar to Microsoft's MASM (see http://www.nasm.us/doc/nasmdoc2.html#section-2.2) [04:26] After I install and set up vsftpd, how can I access my FTP server from filezilla? [04:27] MASM is one of the main assemblers used on DOS, so there's plenty of docs and code for it [04:27] can someone unquiet me on #defocus [04:28] kalimojo, stop asking here. it has nothing to do with ubuntu support [04:28] kmc, I have no assembly background whatsoever.. So I wanted to know whether every assembler has a different syntax ? [04:29] p;ease [04:30] satyanash, yes. every processor and also every assembler program for a given processor has different syntax [04:30] for x86 there are two main varieties of syntax, Intel and AT&T [04:31] intel syntax looks like: mov eax, [ecx] [04:31] at&t looks like: mov (%ecx), %eax [04:31] kmc, So if I learn NASM, then I will know how to write assembly only in NASM ? [04:31] yes, but the differences to another assembler for x86 are not that big [04:32] greetings all. I'm having a sound related problem. I can't hear sound on my computer (Ubuntu 11.10). Using the sound setting under the volume control I can see the sound card install. I can also test the speakers and they work fine. However, if I try playing a youtube video or playing an mp3 file in vlc player I don't hear anything. I do occasionally here the ubuntu sound when I log in. I tried the alsamixer but nothing was affected. W [04:32] if you know one assembly syntax variant well, you can learn another for the same processor without much trouble [04:33] kmc, okay, so how about assembly without calling anything externally from libs or something ? [04:33] what about it? [04:33] Anybody around who knows about pulseaudio? [04:33] kmc, how does that work ? [04:33] satyanash, does this have some connection to ubuntu? [04:33] is there anyone in here at all that can tell me which audio interface my sound is currently coming from? [04:33] bazhang, aahh.. sorry. [04:33] Miggs: I also have a sound problem. [04:34] satyanash, http://asm.sourceforge.net/ [04:34] Miggs: What do you want to know about pulseaudio? I know a little [04:34] I'm using pulseaudio with a network sink. When I play any youtube video or a video file in totem it plays very briefly and then sound and video stutter or stop completely. This isn't a problem with a local sink. Any idea how to fix this? [04:35] What's up everyone! I am a newbie at ubuntu (I mean not really) /me lol [04:36] mr_gees100_peas, what's your problem? I've had to fix a few to get to this point so maybe I've encountered yours. :) [04:36] Miggs: Are the videos also flv, or are they other formats? [04:36] * BillyIsBack this is a test [04:36] Other formats also. [04:36] * BillyIsBack looks around... [04:36] Miggs: That's the wrong answer ;) [04:37] is there anyone in here at all that can tell me which audio interface my sound is currently coming from? [04:37] hi [04:37] Yeah, can't just blame it on Flash [04:37] hi jonbo [04:37] Miggs, I have no sound coming out of my speakers. Well, If I use the test button under the sound settings I do hear sound. When I log iinto ubuntu I do hear sound. Other than that nothing works. [04:37] AcidRain, click on the volume control, sound properties and hardware. That should tell you. [04:37] Miggs: It's easy to suspect the flash player, but past that I don't know. Sorry. Have you tried restarting pulseaudio? [04:38] I tried playing an mp3 file with vlc player and watching youtube videos. No sound. I tried the alsamixer but I had no luck with that. [04:38] can u help now [04:38] Miggs: i am under ubuntu 11.11, it doesnt tell me [04:38] Miggs: it just says internal audio. [04:38] hi any one there for help me [04:38] dj_segfault, this is a problem I've had since at least November. It's survived several reinstalls. Restarting pulse isn't the answer. :( [04:39] any one there [04:39] Hey guys! I am trying to access the folder where I installed warzone2100. Unfortunately I do not know where that is. Can someone enlighten on where the installation folders are in ubuntu (or how to reveal them). thanks! [04:39] acidrain, im heading offline, but this may be helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [04:39] Miggs: my issue is that darkice cannot stream encoding because it does not know where to read sound from [04:39] reply me plz [04:39] navneet greetings [04:39] I remember a log time ago there was a common problem in Ubuntu where there was some mixer control that was shipped as set to zero, and for anyone to get sound you had to use the text-mode mixer (ALSA) to find those controls and bump them up. But mr_gees100_peas you say you've tried that? [04:39] navneet: state your problem and we will try to help you ou [04:39] mr_gees100_peas, alt-f2 and run gstreamer-properties. Try a few of the different options in there. [04:39] hi billy [04:40] BillyIsBack: if the package was called warzone2100, try "dpkg -L warzone2100" to see where it installed files [04:40] AcidRain, sorry man, I don't know about that one. [04:40] how to uninstall .exe software [04:41] how to install new browser in ubuntu 12.04 [04:41] abhisinghal please ask in #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 [04:41] Miggs: well its going to look like /dev/dsp or something of the sort [04:41] kmc, taglass, since the processor is same, why should the assembly code be any different for different OS ? [04:42] Miggs: Hmm. Under the Default Output the pluggin is set to auto detect. The Device however says Unsupported. [04:42] i think an application called audacity can tell me what the proper interface for sound is [04:42] navneet: could you please give me more info about this .exe software? Did you install it through "wine"? [04:42] satyanash, same instruction but there are different conventions on how to write it, e.g. "mov eax, [ecx]" vs "mov (%ecx), %eax" [04:42] yes billy [04:43] satyanash, different syscall interfaces for one. If I recall you can actually call the kernel two ways under linux, by pushing arguments on the stack like traditional unix, or through registers. [04:43] Unsupported in there is fine. It just means the drop-down isn't supported when you have default selected. [04:43] i think each of these syntaxes is based on the standard assembly for some different older chips [04:43] i want to uninstall nokia pc siute from my ubuntu 11.10 [04:43] kmc, so AT&T is for *nix and Intel for Windows/DOS ? [04:43] no, you can use either on either if you have the right assembler [04:43] and there are variations too... NASM and MASM both use Intel syntax, but have other differences as described in the manual [04:44] besides instructions there are all kinds of directives, macros, etc. which each assembler can do differently [04:44] reply me fast plz [04:44] mr_gees100_peas, I would say you had a pulse problem as well but that you get system sounds puts paid to that. [04:44] I'm out of ideas already. [04:44] and as taglass said, code which interfaces with the kernel, or hardware directly, will depend on the details of that kernel and hardware [04:44] Miggs: Ok, of the items in the menu the ALSA option was the only one that work. It may had blown one of my eardrums off to timbactuk but it worked. What's next [04:44] kmc, taglass.. aah. okay. Thank you. [04:44] navneet: ok, when you open the dash home, and you type "wine" do you see an option "uninstall wine application" ? [04:45] Hah, in which case it probably is a pulse problem if output directly through ALSA works. [04:45] navneet: the dash home is right on top of the sidebar [04:45] ok let me check === DoctorBaconite is now known as _sjs === eddie is now known as Guest19478 [04:46] there are two ways to make a syscall on 32-bit x86 linux [04:46] My laptop is about to shut down but you'll have to get on the google looking for pulse audio and alsa issues. [04:46] one is to load arguments into registers and invoke interrupt 0x80 [04:46] the other is an ordinary userspace function call to a special page of code initialized by the kernel [04:46] ok. at least thats a clue. Thanks for the help [04:47] the former is far easier in hand-written assembly [04:47] Good luck [04:48] hi billy [04:48] hey [04:49] its working [04:49] thanks a lot [04:49] Did you find your software listed there??

You will have to check into wine itself. Search in the dash home "wine" but this time choose "configure wine" [04:56] navneet: when configure wine opens up, look for the tab "applications" [04:57] navneet: there should be a list of .exe applications installed. Please let me know if you see your application listed there. [04:58] no there is no list of .exe file [05:00] navneet: there is no applications listed under the tab applications?

Different rules/methods and outcomes apply. [05:13] ^ i was just about to write that [05:14] hi tohtori [05:14] I am kind of wondering. How did you install the Nokia PC suite at the first place? Because if you used wine, it should have been listed there, right guys? [05:15] BillyIsBack wine doesn't always set up the icons properly. UNinstalling is also an inexact functio at the best of times. [05:15] *function* [05:16] if the windows program installs an icon on the desktop, it may not work [05:16] you need to use a wine link instead [05:17] when software is installed from synaptic , where are the deb files downloaded from ?

[05:37] bazhang I suspect the icon is visible but the program is gone... [05:37] CFHowlett, yeah [05:38] this leaves me with 2 options: either there is another windows application installer and the said application is installed through the other application or the software is gone and the user is unable to figure out that it is gone.

[07:29] anush: Try reproducing the problem with "LC_ALL=C ll" [07:29] orionsonofneptun do you *know* that the iso you downloaded is good? do you *know* that the cd burn was good? No? Do your checks. [07:29] yes i use it all the time [07:30] wow, that command shows the correct order [07:30] what's the issue? [07:30] its good unless some one steals it everytime i try to use it [07:30] orionsonofneptun you've got a mysterious error. The process of trouble shooting means eliminating possible causes.

[07:30] ive verified cd a hundered times [07:31] what else to check [07:31] Jordan_U: got it, let me check what I have [07:31] for my reference, what does LC_ALL=C do?

[07:48] tMH not sure what you mean? ping www.google.com [07:49] what is nomodeset and how do i do it [07:49] CFHowlett - I need to put some far site to test with ping results written to the file and take a look day after if there were ping reply faults. [07:49] Jordan_U: So I changed my locale from en_US.UTF-8 to C (/etc/default/locale) and all is well now. Still not quite sure why the en_US locale is causing weirdness with sort or, but it's clearly a locale thing.

I can't think of any right now, but that might have unintended consequences. [07:53] tMH sorry, responding to spam - more the your point, what you're doing is over my head. Very sorry, IDK. Please ask in channel. check 2 winehq.org [07:53] *check @ winehq.org* [07:54] anush: And if you're writing scripts you should always take locale into account (usually by *temporarily* setting LC_ALL=c) when sorting. [07:55] Jordan_U: Hmm, ok, the reason why it was a problem in the first place was because scripts were getting one order and java was getting another (causing naming mismatches). I suppose we can start using LC_ALL=C going forward, but what's bizzare is that this sort order thing is relatively new. Used to be fine before. [07:56] anush: It's a common thing which programmers miss, but in any language you need to consider locale when sorting. [07:56] anush: Any programming language that is :) [07:56] Got it. Thanks again. [07:57] anush: You're welcome. [07:57] ok so press enter on nomodeset [07:57] then what [07:57] tMH: date & ping something maybe [07:58] Hi!

[09:21] Firartix: what do you mean? :) [09:21] I'd like to put a FS package on the repo to make it available to more people :P [09:22] I just had a look at the "top games" section of the Software Center thingy.... Obviously stuff like freedroidRPG and OpenTTD are really good but i still feel like FSO is one step ahead of this - yet it's missing [09:23] sudo: unable to change to sudoers gid - what could be the reason?! [09:24] The FSO community has been running for 10 years, the amount of work that has gone into this is just colossal, and i feel really sad there's so few people knowing about it [09:24] and why does the unable to change to sudoers gid now occur?? [09:24] Ztane: what is it your tring to install? [09:25] shades: I still recommend asking in #kismet [09:25] The only other linux platform spacesim i've seen is vegastrike and it's really getting old [09:25] my gf 7000km away is trying to run sudo, not install anything :D [09:25] hello ,everyone [09:26] Jordan_U: I already did [09:26] it isn't specific to kismet it seems [09:26] how mount share folder ?

[09:27] nobody responded yet [09:27] exit [09:27] Ztane: what about sudo ls; [09:28] i cant try anymore [09:28] but is apt-get limited or something [09:28] on fresh 11.10 install [09:28] or whaat [09:29] hey [09:29] Ztane: it would be limiting if that user is not in the sudoers list [09:29] the only user [09:30] i need to remind in 10 years i have never seen that message on any computer of mine [09:30] it says "ztane is not in sudoers" [09:31] Ztane try in terminal: sudo visudoers [09:31] and see if your account is in there [09:31] Ztane: What is the output of "groups"? [09:31] why wouldn't iwlist wlan0 scan tell me signal strength? [09:32] Krissed: and how do i sudo visudoers if the sudo does not work [09:32] Ztane you boot up on a livedisc and create a new user i suppose. [09:32] Hey, I am running a PS1 git command prompt to show me the current branch I am at.. It works fine, however, when I run "screen" , I get "-bash: __git_ps1: command not found".. What can be the reason for this? [09:33] Jordan_U: ok will check that, but ... is sudoers group now needed on pristine oneiric [09:33] Jordan_U: the problme is the user is not at the computer anymore :? [09:33] Ztane: No, but "admin" is (and is the default for the default user created). [09:33] ah ok, so sudoers gid == admin. [09:34] is there something like a "safe session" or something like that that now drops the admin gid from the gidlist [09:34] hello everyone ...is there any way to re-install evolution under ubuntu 10.04 LTS ??? [09:34] parapan_: sudo apt-get --reinstall install evolution [09:34] Ztane: No, there is a guest session but that would have the username of "guest". [09:35] theadmin: that will delete / rewrite all files, including config and so ???

[09:50] theadmin: i want to completely purge evolution from Gnome, then reboot, and after that install ...is that possible ??? [09:50] parapan_: Well sure, but [09:50] zabomber its perhaps expanding the desktop instead of duplicating it ? [09:51] parapan_: It won't fix anything -_- Reinstalls never fix anything, unless there is some missing file [09:51] theadmin: Ok, but how come 3 months ago I've imported pst with no problem and now I cannt ? [09:52] parapan_: I dunno, some upgrade introduced a bug likely [09:52] Krissed: theres no second screen. its a "tv" computer now... [09:53] Hi all [09:53] Does anyone know where I can ask a Unity question? [09:53] theadmin: is there any other way to convert pst into something else and import into evolution ??? from my research it seems there is no other mail client for ubuntu which deals with .pst files ... [09:54] parapan_: Dunno, sorry [09:54] zabomber ah ok. hmm the resolution could be wrong yes. i dont know what would fix it though [09:54] nhelke: Right here, unless you mean the "Unity Linux" project.

Try a third party mirror. Don't need a torrent just search for a mirror or download site [10:23] Hiren's boot cd, direct link for those who cant find it: http://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/Hirens.BootCD.15.1.zip [10:23] Oh cool [10:23] MrHanjrah, thanks i have found it! === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [10:24] Thanks was just bout to go searching.

[10:28] so what tool should i use on hirens? [10:28] riktking: depends what you want to do [10:28] Hirens is an ISO so burn that ISO to a CD like you did Ubuntu [10:28] MrHanjrah, i need to clone my HDD as it has bad sectors, have tried clonezilla but it stops due to the errors as does DD and DD_rescue [10:29] Boot to hirens CD [10:29] yeh i get that i need to boot [10:29] i have never cloned a hdd before!

[10:30] use wisely :) [10:30] haha like a jedi! [10:31] You can also make images of hard drive like that ISO file [10:31] clonezilla, riktking [10:31] Batery dead bye [10:31] x_ i tried clonezilla and it b0rked cos of he bad sectors [10:31] the [10:35] sux [10:36] How do I check for Firefox addon updates? [10:37] is there a way to get round the bad sectors problem?? === jeremy-4201 is now known as jeremy[away] [10:37] Has this feature been disabled by the Ubuntu team? I don't mean automatic updating, I mean checking right now [10:37] riktking: dd-rescue [10:37] locsmif, tried that, b0rked [10:38] got to 44% and failed :( [10:38] dunno if anyone noticed my question, but I figured it out [10:39] riktking: yes, buy a new hdd [10:39] riktking: and put your backup on the new hdd [10:40] yeh i have a new hdd, want to clone my system onto it, any idea on how to do this with the bad sectors [10:40] Dumb question: assume I really do know what I am doing. How do I use apt-get / aptitude to update one single package (preferably without pinning everything else in the system). [10:40] riktking: not possible [10:40] riktking: you cant restore corrupt data [10:40] to roll back the software updates, I viewed the history in Ubuntu Software Center and used Synaptic to Force Version on the previous version of each updated package (nautilus and lightdm were each updated yesterday). It was probably the nautilus updates that wrecked my desktop theme, I guess. [10:40] i know, but the drive in the system is working, just too damn small [10:40] riktking: here's what I do [10:40] (60 gig) so i have brought a new drive (160gig) and want to clone onto it [10:41] riktking: clonezilla [10:41] clonezilla said no [10:41] it failed [10:41] riktking: you CAN NOT restore corrupt data [10:41] i know [10:41] what do you mean, "said no" [10:41] ooh, it's corrupt [10:41] I missed that part [10:42] riktking: if your hdd is broken you CAN NOT get the corrupt data from that [10:42] soi cant clone a drive with the bad sectors, even tho the drive is working fine [10:42] alexbligh1, I would use synaptic to do that. I know you explicitly mentioned the other package managers, but I don't know how to do that with those, so I would use synaptic. Any reason why you don't want to use it? (I'm pretty new at this) [10:42] bgs1, because I am working on a command line system [10:42] riktking: put the harddrive in the fridge for a while (yes, really), then after getting it out and making sure it's dry, hook it up inside an USB enclosure and run dd conv=noerror [10:42] That's about it. [10:42] riktking: you can say dd to ignore corrupt data (man dd) but corrupt data is always bad [10:42] oh ok [10:42] alexbligh1, that's a good reason! sorry, I can't help :/ [10:42] riktking: screw clonezilla [10:42] ok [10:42] ddrescue can try to revover the bad data [10:43] riktking, use dd with the noerror flag [10:43] thanks guys [10:43] riktking, obviously you will copy the corrupt sectors as corrupt data [10:43] but you will get the whole thing off, and then might well be able to restore using a file based method [10:43] but then will i be able to fix um on the new hdd? [10:43] (rsync) [10:43] My preferred method would be: [10:44] dd with noerror, which will give you an image with your bad sectors with bad data in but will not error [10:44] then try and mount it. You might need fsck [10:44] alexbligh1, according to http://askubuntu.com/questions/44122/upgrade-a-single-package-with-apt-get, it says just use apt-get install ; did this not work? [10:44] Hi [10:44] then rsync -a to a freshly formatted filesystem [10:44] you will need to reinstall grub etc [10:45] you might well have files with corrupted content, but your metadata (directory structure etc.) will then be ok. [10:45] alexbligh1 sorry, I shouldn't ask "did this not work" as you may not have tried it yet! [10:45] has anyone ran Ubuntu on Sun blade 6000? or have references? [10:45] riktking, I thought there was a dd that retried after resetting the HD, but I can't find it now [10:45] alexbligh1, thanks for the advice [10:46] Sun 6000 blade chassis that is [10:46] can i ddrescue from drive to drive direct? [10:46] riktking: check out ddrescue [10:46] # cat /etc/issue [10:46] Ubuntu 8.04.1 \n \l [10:46] recommended upgrade path? [10:46] bgs1, I don't think so - it is saying "already the newest version" - but I think I might need to do the update first. Ideally I wanted to just update that, but let me try... [10:46] !upgrade > sbtr__ [10:46] sbtr__, please see my private message [10:46] NoTITo__: x86 or sparc version? [10:46] to Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS first? [10:46] sbtr__: the bot sent you a pm with a link that shows the upgrade options [10:47] ikonia: ok thx [10:47] sbtr__: I suggest reading that document and deciding where you want to go [10:47] normally you make a image of the drive or partion you are rescueing into a file [10:47] ikonia: all LTS releases show LTS in /etc/issue right? [10:47] sbtr__: /etc/issue is just a file, don't trust it [10:47] sbtr__: now [10:47] sbtr__: lsb_release -a [10:47] sbtr__: no [10:48] iceroot: since when? :) [10:48] ikonia: ok thx [10:48] sbtr__: 12.04 [10:48] hi all [10:48] sbtr__: my 12.04 does not show LTS in /etc/issue [10:49] alexbligh1, you're right, I think if you run update you'll update all the dependencies too. Sorry I can't be of more help. From your advice I can clearly see you're several levels ahead of me in knowledge anyway! I'm just googling the question. [10:49] iceroot: i86pc | 64-bit amd64 kernel modules [10:49] :) [10:51] NoTITo__: then ubuntu should be running fine on it [10:51] NoTITo__: only with the sparc version of that blade you will get problems [10:52] hi guys. anyone know how to enable remote desktop in ubuntu via the terminal?

[10:59] zabomber: if you are doing remote help. yiu may want to use teamviewer [10:59] dr_willis: ok. thanks [11:00] vnc is very flexiable. teamviewer more focused fir helping others [11:00] and more secure [11:00] dr_willis: i know. but vnc was my first option... at the box, they can enable it, i just wanted to know if there was a quick command to enable "remote desktop sharing" on ubuntu so that i could access it remotly...

I did a lspci and found out it's a ''01:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)'' [11:49] moed that describes the card, not the problem [11:49] moed, sounds good so far... now that it's plugged in and recognized by the system, how are you trying to use it and what symptoms of failure do you see (if any) [11:49] can someone tell me how to make it so the top navigation bar which currently only shows the menu options onhover will permanently show the menu options? [11:50] moed: had that one, it worked for me [11:51] i want to use it with tvtime, i have tried few setup guides i found online but neither of them did work for me [11:51] moed: I had the analogue version, I used tvtime [11:51] moed in what way does it 'not work' === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [11:52] tvtime states no tv signal [11:52] moed: are you sure the signal is OK? [11:53] I have a Hauppauge 5500 here which has bad signal issues, while our TV has no problems at all [11:53] yes bwell it works perfect with windows [11:54] so i guess the signal is ok [11:55] how can i tell if the card is set up correctly? [11:55] is the module loaded, did you try FM radio [11:56] i think that's what i am having issues with [11:56] moed: The command $lsmod will list all modules present in your system. [11:58] i think it's loaded, can i post the output on here [11:58] ? [11:58] !paste | moed [11:58] moed: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [12:00] I wander if anyone could help me? [12:00] moed, your card uses the chip you can see in lspci but may require an extra parameter to be passed to it so that the system known which implementation the card is (i.e. the rest of the stuff on the card that linux also needs to drive) [12:01] anybody know how to get rid of autohide on the top navigation bar in ubuntu 11.10? [12:01] moed, What is the exact make and model of your card? [12:01] kingfisher64: not possible [12:01] Anyone know good darkish banshee theme [12:02] crizzy - i've done it before - i can't remember how though [12:02] I'm using deluge bittorrent client but it forgets where i set the directories to when I reboot [12:02] or even what it's called [12:02] I downloaded a .iso, i have extracted and now the folder has alot of files .rpm what is the command in the terminal to install all the .rpm ? Because i just find how to install one on one [12:02] nucleus: you don't use rpm's on ubuntu [12:03] well on the card it says lightwave lw-pci tv [12:03] nucleus: what are you trying to do ? [12:03] nucleus, rpm is a redhat package manager file, sounds like you've got the wrong iso, look for .deb files instead :) [12:03] and on the steel box inside which i guess is the tunner there tnf9835-biff [12:03] Im trying to install a program called Trixbox [12:04] I am sending a link with the output of lsmod [12:04] nucleus: it looks like it's a black box type distro for a pbx [12:05] hello [12:06] HI, how to remove launch icon on task bar in ubuntu 11.10, pls help me... [12:06] user1: 2nd click on it? [12:07] ikonia so how can i install it? Because i downloaded the installation for Linux and when i extract the .iso i only see files .rpm its the é* day im using linux, im still not very confortable with the system. [12:07] crizzy, i didnt get u [12:07] 2* day sorry. [12:07] nucleus: I don't think you install it, you boot the ISO and it's a linux distro already (from how I'm reading it) [12:07] user1: 2nd click on the icon in launcher [12:08] crizzy, then .... [12:08] Linux distro ? A distribution like Ubuntu ? [12:08] ... then choose remove from launcher? [12:08] anyone using google-chrome unstable? [12:08] crizzy - showing launch and properties [12:08] ubuntu is the best yeah man [12:08] nucleus, I use Asterisk on ubuntu all the time... I think Trixbox is a re-distribution of asterisk isn't it? [12:08] After my last upgrade it is thrashing my cpu and can't load anything [12:08] I am sorry but i need help loading the terminal output to imagebin [12:09] Yes it is. Exactly! [12:09] i finally employed the AMD openCL SDK on it [12:09] moed type your_command | pastebinit [12:09] nucleus: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=trixbox [12:10] I'm using deluge bittorrent client but it forgets where i set the directories to when I reboot. I even edited the config.json but deluge replaced it [12:10] linux just orsome [12:10] Anyone have ideas why that is happening? [12:10] nucleus, I don't use trixbox myself, but installing asterisk is easy... just "sudo apt-get install asterisk" in a console [12:11] People told me to install " trixbox asterik " thats why i have searched for trixbox, but since im clear now, what i want is using asterisk on ubuntu. [12:11] !update sbtr__ [12:11] nucleus, trixbox is a whole linux distribution (based on Centos) with asterisk in it [12:12] ok thanks, lsmod output http://paste.ubuntu.com/884685/ [12:12] Haa. Thanks for the information. [12:12] Im installing it now, thank you very much. [12:13] nucleus, if you type asterisk into the software centre, you will see the stuff you need to install [12:13] Im installing it now with the terminal [12:13] Like you said. [12:13] nucleus, that's ok aswell :) [12:14] Thank once more. [12:14] Thank you* [12:15] : here's the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/884685/ [12:15] nucleus, config files are in /etc/asterisk once install is done... it should just work out the box, but you will likely want to tighten up the security a bit and make sure you don't leave an open SIP relay out on the internet (it WILL be abused) [12:16] moed, have a look here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567212 [12:17] I will do it. I tried to use backtrack as my first distribution, but i only see cracking tools installed. I believe Ubuntu is easier and more for Normal using. [12:17] Hi Ubuntu-ers... I've got (hopefully) a simple question. [12:17] moed, if you look at the second post, the person is using modporbe to (-r) unload kernel modeuls then reloading them with a card=21 parameter... [12:17] I've got a lovely new ubuntu setup and was having trouble with the graphics driver and overscan/underscan. [12:17] I've found a way using xrandr to fix the problem. [12:17] moed, this card=21 is what you need I guess (or some other number that is the right one for your card) [12:18] however, I'd like to find a way to have the settings applied automatically, as opposed to via the manual command. [12:18] moed, a little lower down, there is a list of cards with the right numbers... check in there for your card and substitute the 21 for the right number... [12:18] a lovely page on the ubuntu side suggested setting it in my gdm startup scripts. [12:18] moed: the modules seems loaded, but maybe the options are incorrect. This should be explained in the howtos. I only followed them, I'm fairly new to Ubuntu too, sorry. [12:18] alas, it doesn't seem gdm is even installed anymore. [12:19] i don't see anything like my card name on that list [12:19] thanks for your help anyway [12:19] so first question - what does ubuntu 11.11 use itsead of gdm? [12:20] moed, you can use dmesg to watch for the right card number just after reloading the module [12:20] moed: I just remember wasting a lot of time looking for the right numbers and options, in the end it did work. [12:20] captbunzo lightdm [12:20] thanks MonkeyDust === max is now known as Guest59839 [12:20] aethelrick its already installed but i dont see wheres the icone in applications :\ [12:21] Elfe : how do you know u have the right card number? [12:21] picture :) [12:21] nucleus, asterisk is a service, not a GUI application. you cn start the service by typing "sudo /etc/init.d/asterisk start" [12:21] alternatively, does anyone know how the underscan settings in an xorg.conf file? [12:22] try them, my card wasn't on the list either moed [12:22] that'd seem to be a good way to solve my problem as well. [12:22] Ohh. ok. Thank you again [12:22] nucleus, you can change the word "start" in that command to "stop" or "restart" to stop and erm... restart the service === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [12:22] nucleus, your dial plan and device configuration is in some simple text files found in /etc/asterisk [12:23] nucleus, everything you ever wanted to know about asterisk and configuring a dial plan can be found here http://www.asteriskdocs.org/ [12:24] nucleus, have fun :) [12:24] Thanks for the information, i will have a look [12:25] nick [12:26] nucleus, I think some graphic config tools exist (gastman I think ??) but I've not used them because the text files are so simple and powerful there is no need, ymmv however. I think gastman is in the software centre [12:27] now to find out if I want a display-setup-script, greeter-setup-script and/or session-setup-script [12:28] hi guys, how do I tell ubuntu to boot to run level 3 via the grub boot screen? [12:29] nox| silkyc [12:29] !nox| silkyc [12:29] silkyc: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [12:29] woot. try to try out my new config :) [12:32] : i think 21 is the right card number, tvtime-scanner found a few channels and is still searching. Now what should i do next? [12:33] moed: if it works, nothing I guess. I'm not sure how to save that number for the next reboot. [12:34] thanks for your help, think you guys did put me on the right path [12:34] join #als [12:35] hi [12:35] MonkeyDust, I'm not sure where the "kernel line" ends [12:35] there's so much text in the params [12:36] canonical has millions of dollars..they make nice OS's but they don't have a built in video editor in ubuntu [12:36] like...why [12:36] don't they understand people who use ubuntu want to edit videos? [12:36] jordan4ibanez: pitivi should be installed by default. [12:37] pitivi is laggy (on 10.10) i'm on 10.10 because 11.10 is bs >:( [12:37] hi guys, how do I tell ubuntu to boot to run level 3 via the grub boot screen? [12:38] but..canonical has the funds..they need to stop REWORKING some thing that WORKS and improve apon it..NOT BREAK IT === SpindizZzy is now known as SpindizZzy|AFK === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [12:39] like it makes me extremely angry...why can't canonical just make their own video editor?? they can build a whole operating system..but not make a video editor [12:39] jordan4ibanez: It's not BS, you just don't like change. [12:39] jordan4ibanez then where do you draw the line, everybody wants something else preinstalled [12:39] jordan4ibanez: Also, the video editor was written by a community. [12:40] HOT: o/ [12:40] it is bs..if you move forward while ignoring obvious things that people DONT want..then you're microsoft [12:40] is there a way to make unity NOT hide the launcher bar under maximized windows [12:40] jordan4ibanez: Do you prefer GNOME 3? [12:40] awesome. problems solved. thx people [12:40] jordan4ibanez, I think building a video editor would be harder that piecing an OS together based on Linux [12:41] Ztane there CCSM and a PPA for MyUnity [12:41] jordan4ibanez: Because it was upstream GNOME that dropped support for the classic GNOME. [12:42] jordan4ibanez has a point, tho, Canonical should focus more on applications, rather than on a fancy new desktop interface [12:42] no..i prefer to have a NO bs straightforward desktop that was gnome 2..i know canonical still has snap shots of it..they just "want to move forward" and remove the menus ..THE MENUS ..we have people making fun of the operating system because of the choices their making [12:42] Ztane: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [12:42] jordan4ibanez: Right, now who's going to support that code or GNOME isn't going to? [12:42] yes...i don't understand why they do that! [12:43] Anyway, enough of this !offtopic. [12:43] Ztane: then search for ccsm in the app launcher menu, you can chaneg it in the "ubuntu unity plugin" section [12:43] canonical can..they support of the whole os ..and they've BUILT UNITY! its all theirs! so don't tell me that they can't support gnome 2 alone. [12:44] Hi, guys, I have two questions, the first one is about a partition in my HD, I already did put in the etc/fstab, everything correct, and with the rw option, but when I try to save something in there, appears a error like "You don't have the permission to save in here" and the second one is about the Dexter, from elementary, I know there's no stable version, but I want to install anyway, I already added the PPA but I can't install, even in the termi [12:44] nal, what should I do in the both cases? [12:46] Ok, guys, just say that dont want to help, don't need to disconnect haha [12:46] hmm [12:47] How can I boot into run level 3? [12:47] forbidden404: default mounting options will either use the per-file permissions if supported for the fs type, or if it doesn't have permissions it will only be writable for root unless you specify a user or group in the mount options [12:48] quiescens: /dev/sda5 /media/Forbidden404 ntfs auto,rw,exec,users,dmask=000,fmask=111,nls=utf8 0 0 [12:48] I guess the mount options are right [12:49] silkyc, used to go via /etc/inittab, but guess due to startup this is not valid anymore :/ [12:50] hello! [12:51] hello. i have problems with ubuntu dualboot. grub dons tee win7 after update-grub. can anybody please help me with this? [12:51] forbidden404: to my knowledge, at last check, ntfs mounting doesn't support actual per user permissions, you will need to have a uid=(user's id) option, or gid=(a group id containing the users that need to have write acess), and/or umask=(something that will allow the appropriate access) [12:52] I'm having some trouble installing ubuntu (and linux mint 12) on my new machine, I insert a CD/DVD and it stops at detecting USB mouse right after SCSI removable disc. Anyone recognize these problems? [12:52] oh, I will try this, I hope that it works... actually I have to save things in my dropbox, to when I change the OS, download the files ): [12:53] forbidden404, Try sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername media/disk(or_uuid) [12:53] they can't chown files on an ntfs mount [12:53] ah, NTFS, missed that; sorry.. :-( [12:56] * Sidewinder1 Either needs to learn to read or pay more attention; or stop multi-tasking..

[14:15] compdoc, looks like it stores passwords for sites I visit on the web. [14:16] hi everyone i've question [14:17] I just reset my keyring password, then reset my system password, and I'll try a reboot to see if resetting them does any magic to fix this. [14:17] shoot it [14:17] codazoda, I was googling why there is a keyring, and didnt have much luck finding an answer [14:17] compdoc: It's where GNOME stores passwords. [14:17] codazoda, it is designed to handle all desktop passwords meaning passwords to instant messenger programs and email clients as well as being your ssh-agent [14:17] its a weird thing [14:17] compdoc: Not really. [14:18] compdoc: Where else are you going to store wireless passwords?

[14:18] compdoc: If they are set to the password, you don't GNOME unlocks the keyring on login if so. [14:18] to the same* [14:18] codazoda, generally your gnome-keyring password is configured to be the same as your login password, if you changed your password with passwd on the cli then this might be the cause of your problems [14:19] fwolve: What's overheating, CPU, GPU, Hard Drive? [14:19] my laptop. === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [14:19] compdoc, I think it makes it so that "your one password" unlocks all the websites and programs where you "save" your password. Those typically use a different password than your login password, but you don't have to type all those in if you save them to your keyring. [14:19] fwolve: How hot is it? [14:19] i think the graphic card [14:20] Over 70C? [14:20] fwolve: Try installing the graphics drivers Ubuntu offers?

My password has been the same for well over a year. Something I did, however, broke this somehow. I was hoping that changing the keyring and login password might solve it. I'm going to disconnect and restart to see if that did the trick. [14:21] Thanks for the help everyone. [14:21] fwolve: Intel one will be integrated, you'll want the AMD drivers. [14:21] if i'm using windows for gaming, i'm using radeon, and it make my laptop temperature is increaase, but not as hot as i run ubuntu [14:22] i think ubuntu run the AMD. thats why my laptop get overheat [14:22] fwolve you need the ATI proprietary driver, not opensource [14:24] all: how to solve this problem? [14:25] fwolve, is there an option for Cool and Quiet in the bios? that should be disabled [14:25] fwolve, there are some known bugs with power saving features [14:25] compdoc, so it's a bug?

[16:13] pythonsnake, login to a terminal and cd out of home and then try to sudo umount it. hopefully bash won't be keeping any locks on the files in /home. if that doesn't work you would need to login as a user whose $HOME is not in /home [16:14] no root :( [16:14] Rozy [16:14] lq xaric being what?

I forwarded the port, and can log into the server, but an error comes up saying "failed connect to server" [16:18] ericus, the swap encryption key would have to be persistent across reboots and the initrd would have to know how to request the password. i doubt that it is configured to do either out of the box [16:18] I'm using ubuntu with unity in a machine with 3GB of RAM and I just have my irc client opened and the memory usage is about 2.7GB. Why does that happen? [16:19] is wine more used than windows compatibility layer? [16:19] escott_: that's what I thought. I did the normal install with encrypted /home [16:19] ubuntu-es [16:19] <`Korvin> Fixed by reinstalling [16:19] magma, because thats good. you want your system to use the ram you paid for. ignore the cache's line for "true" usage [16:19] <`Korvin> formatted and reinstalled [16:20] you're already back korvin? [16:20] <`Korvin> yeah [16:20] <`Korvin> pretty quick right [16:20] lol that was fast! [16:20] <`Korvin> yeah [16:20] ericus, encrypted swap is different from encrypted home [16:20] <`Korvin> I had a live usb on me [16:20] LANG=all_ALL.UTF-8 software-center [16:20] escott_, but this machine has a problem, it overheats when memory usage is high. Is it possible to disable cache? [16:21] <`Korvin> updated kernel [16:21] <`Korvin> lets hope it doesn't happen again [16:21] escott_: encrypted /home also encrypts /tmp and /swap [16:21] magma, you could adjust the vm swappiness but your computer should not overheat because the memory usage is high. are you sure there isn't another cause [16:21] ericus, didn't know that, i wonder if thats new [16:22] ericus, do you have a source for that info? [16:22] escott_, how can I adjust that? (I'm sure, this computer is very old) [16:22] escott_: if swap was not encrypted, the whole idea of encrypting /home would be worthless [16:22] ericus, not entirely worthless but yes much less effective [16:23] andrew_wmf: no sorry, but that's a fact [16:23] magma, https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=linux+kernel+vm.swapiness&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#hl=en&client=ubuntu&hs=LaE&pwst=1&channel=fs&sa=X&ei=dhdiT8ChJqi80QHSnPy1CA&ved=0CB4QvwUoAQ&q=linux+kernel+vm.swappiness [16:24] magma, i doubt this will work well though. the attitude of the kernel developers is sure to be "go buy functional hardware" why not just remove a few DIMMs [16:25] <`Korvin> how does linux handle dependencies ? [16:26] <`Korvin> as in if you're updating and one thing depends on another [16:26] <`Korvin> does it know to install one first?

[16:26] aptitude why bash [16:26] <[]tsukasa[]> anyone using subversion that can help me out with an authentication issue [16:26] `Korvin, apt does that. if you do something outside apt then you have to do it manually [16:26] how do i kill x?

[16:27] <`Korvin> escott_, so it sorts the list of updates by that? [16:27] cool! :D [16:27] andrew_wmf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome [16:27] <`Korvin> what if two packages depend on eachother =O [16:27] ty! you're awesome [16:28] it autoopens again [16:28] `Korvin, i don't know the details of the algorithm but it would construct a graph and any acyclic part can be handled leaf-to-stem, any cycles would need special handling [16:28] `Korvin: it could be [16:28] how do i start uubntu without x [16:28] andrew_wmf: It's so logical; since one would otherwise be able to recover data from /swap [16:28] <`Korvin> nice [16:28] <`Korvin> brb reboot [16:29] escott_, ok, I try to check the DIMMS [16:29] thanks [16:29] pythonsnake, you shouldn't need to restart, just logout and ctrl-alt-f1 [16:29] that doesnt work [16:29] pythonsnake, who are you logged in as [16:29] pythonsnake: sudo init 2 [16:29] umount: /home: device is busy. === chopin__ is now known as chopin [16:29] pythonsnake: sudo telinit 2 [16:30] ok [16:30] pythonsnake: lsof /home [16:30] nothing === AcidRain is now known as AcidRain2012 [16:30] lsof /dev/sda1 [16:30] welinux, the default runlevel is 2 [16:31] nothing [16:31] pythonsnake, if "w" only shows tty1 and echo $HOME lists /home then we may need to enable root temporarily [16:31] pythonsnake, alternately you could boot to recovery mode [16:32] why is this distro too hard when i try to do simple stuff :( [16:32] pythonsnake: root=/bin/sh [16:32] pythonsnake: that's called 'learning' [16:32] pythonsnake, (a) you aren't doing simple stuff and (b) its not that hard you just don't know what the steps are yet [16:32] Hopefully someone here can help or direct me to somewhere that I can get help. Currently trying [16:32] to use oem-config to prompt for static address and not DHCP in ubuntu server 11.04. I've tried passing [16:32] netcfg/use_dhcp boolean false...that doesn't do it...so I'm stuck [16:33] pythonsnake: just use Gparted liveCD [16:33] welinux, the default grub config has a recovery mode that will boot to single [16:33] enable root pass, login to root, umount [16:33] escott_: yes [16:33] right? [16:33] pythonsnake, dont forget logout and disable root passwd [16:34] will try [16:37] wine keeps telling me my exes arent marked as executable [16:37] or better [16:37] prevent /home from mounting [16:37] and that i could change the executable bit in the file's settings if i know what i'm doing [16:37] why [16:37] Aesthenaut, chmod +x filename.exe see !permissions [16:38] <3 google didnt tell me that [16:38] i will try it. [16:38] thanks :) [16:38] Aesthenaut, if your .exe's are on a fat or ntfs volume you will have issues with those partitions likely being mounted noexec [16:38] noexec is not fun [16:39] it's on the filesystem my OS is on [16:39] Aesthenaut, then you should be fine just mark them as executable with chmod [16:39] chmod -R +x /dir [16:40] * without / [16:40] welinux, which would mark every file in that directory which is probably not what Aesthenaut wants to do [16:40] i'm looking to launch other programs in that dir as well. not an issue : ) [16:41] welinux, a better command for Aesthenaut would be find /path/to/folder -iname *.exe -exec chmod +x {} \; [16:42] escott_: I'm learning find it's awesome but -execdir and -exec {} \; is to hard for me to understand :) [16:42] Aesthenaut, there are going to be non-exe (aka data files) in that folder and you don't want them to be marked executable [16:42] i agree [16:43] not if i move everything out, which sounds easier than typing that line out multiple times when i dont have a backspace, delete, or hyphen key [16:44] ctrl-H is your friend [16:44] for backspace [16:44] welinux, sounds like he is using a touch interface of some kind [16:44] hah! [16:44] heh [16:44] why is ctrl h my friend? [16:45] it hides the nick list in konversation. it's my friend already! [16:45] hello, i have installed ubuntu on a computer width xp prof, after i installed ubuntu and rebooted, and i selected windows xp from the grub loader it does not boot windows and returns back into the grub loader [16:45] I cant see files after reboot [16:45] i let ubuntu do everything [16:46] it a shortcut of readline labriary in bash -- for backspace, ctrl-d, ctrl-k, ctrl-w for word to left delete, ctrl-y to paste and so on [16:46] the windows partition is op /dev/sda1 [16:46] kk' [16:46] !details | vvvvv [16:46] vvvvv: Please give us full details.

[16:47] <\bMike\b> My server reports "X packages can be updated, Y are security update" - how can I see what packages those security updates are? [16:47] i installed ubuntu over xp this night... === stefano_ is now known as lushard [16:47] <\bMike\b> Or, how can I upgrade only the security updates [16:48] i dont have the computer now, but what can be broken ? [16:48] it is the latest instalation [16:48] \bMike\b: sudo aptitude -s upgrade <<< for "simulate" [16:49] bahaha. it worked. Thanks, guys. [16:49] I think i will... keep only executables in a folder so i can do this occasionally if necessary. [16:49] <\bMike\b> welinux: Yes, but I don't think that separates out the security updates [16:49] cx1213, hard to say. could be that grub is not looking at the right location to chainload windows, could be that windows loader is messed up and won't boot. if you had to resize the windows partition that a possible reason for windows loader not the chainload and you would need to boot a windows rescue cd and chkdsk the ntfs parititon and maybe reinstall the windows bootloader (and then reinstall grub) [16:50] Is there a way to make marking executables unnecessary? can i make it run everything without whining about it? [16:50] for some reason, my dvdrw has stopped working in ubuntu 10.04. No errors in /var/log/messages Any ideas what I can do please? It doesn't auto pop up when I put a dvd in, and when I right click > send to disc, it only gives the option to burn to image, not the disk :S [16:50] escott_: probably apt-pinning or smth... [16:50] Aesthenaut, yes there is a config option in /etc/wine [16:50] escott_: the only 20 gb was in use of the 230 gb disk [16:51] and the computer does not have a disk drive [16:51] I install ppstream to see tv show ,and remove it,then,a partion appear,I dont know what to do ,then reboot,then ,lost a lot of files,but some can be seen,othets cant be seen in ubuntu ,but in pe os,I can see them [16:52] O.O I don't have an /etc/wine [16:52] AdvoWork: common advice >> dmesg | grep dvd << or like that [16:52] Aesthenaut, im not sure what it will be called but it will be /etc/wine or /etc/wine.cfg or something like that [16:52] locate wine [16:53] Aesthenaut, welinux locate wine | grep "/etc" [16:53] hi, what is the current situation with .ram files? Just hoping there is any easy way to listen to em :-) [16:53] indeed [16:53] opalepatrick, mplayer does them [16:53] ooh [16:53] ffmpeg :) [16:53] I dont know what to do [16:54] thanks bazhang - OFF TO INSTALL IUT AND TRY [16:54] ugh caps [16:54] welinux, i see that listed: 24x24 writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form cdda tray [16:54] i believe it's /user/local/bin/winecfg, as per the first result on google. I'll play around with it [16:54] AdvoWork, what does "groups" say [16:54] though there is no file there either [16:55] Aesthenaut: try: which winecfg [16:55] AdvoWork: try to open-close-play it and then look at dmesg what it's writing about the device actions [16:56] wild dialogue box appears. [16:57] ubuntu make me crazy [16:57] why? [16:57] everyone but escott_. He understands for some reason. [16:57] it will at first if its a new OS to you [16:58] vvvvv, you need to be more specific. "a partition appeared" what was it called? files cant be seen except in "pe os" what is "pe os?" [16:58] you need some tools like systemrescuecd [16:58] but I have lost a lot of files,and dont know why [16:59] vvvvv: where were the files held? [16:59] Any one help me to use Aircrack-ng . [17:00] oh pe is the windows pe [17:00] aslan, #aircrack-ng === hari_ is now known as harikt [17:02] vvvvv: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [17:02] #aircrack-ng [17:02] wtf, guys... why doesnt terminal like my password:< [17:03] Aesthenaut: what do u mean? [17:03] vvvvv, what is pe? partition editor? [17:03] I just tried to make an 'irc' account on Ubuntu Server (11.10), but it says the account already exists [17:03] files was in a ntfs partion,but now there held a few now === orion is now known as Guest17561 [17:03] I don't recall creating such an account, is this a system account or something? === Guest17561 is now known as orionsonofneptun [17:03] vvvvv: so how is this ubuntu related? [17:04] a usb os,can boot the computer [17:04] it seems to think it's correct when i su or log in, but when i try to execute commands for which it needs administrative priv, it will tell me the sudo password is incorrect [17:04] Aesthenaut, unless you have done something you shouldnt have like enabled the root password su should not work. sudo asks for your password not roots [17:04] vvvvv: you can mount your NTFS partition in Ubuntu and read the data, there is also foremost you can use to maybe restore data. Your backups will be by far the easiest way to get the data back [17:05] there it worked. Such a strange thing. [17:05] how to join other chanels [17:05] Aesthenaut: could be a spelling error? maybe u typed it too fast while u were creating ur acc lol [17:05] aslan, /join #channel [17:05] ok ,I will try [17:05] aslan: type: /join #channelname [17:06] aslan: eg: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [17:06] possibly. that'd be ridiculous, though, seeing as it's my eight character password i've used for years for things i dont much care about [17:06] it'd be legit if it were my twenty one character password with upper case, lower case, numbers, and nonalphanumeric... [17:07] thanks,everyone,good night [17:07] <3 vuvuvu [17:07] Aesthenaut: i mean... the possibility of a typo would still be there... unless u're saying u haven't keyed it in wrong for years [17:07] it has been quite a long time [17:08] \join #aircrack-ng [17:08] Aesthenaut: su password = root-password, sudo password = users password [17:08] aslan: use a slash ;) [17:08] uh oh. Segfault on run... wtf, Continuum. [17:08] llutz: su without a username of course ;) [17:08] hi there. Is there any way to build debug version of python-xapian packet? I can't find any packets like python-xapian-dbg (or python-xapian-dbgsym from ddebs repo)... I'm trying to diag zeitgeist segfaults, and python2.7-dbg can't load ordinary _xapian.so from python-xapian... [17:09] i have a question. Can ubuntu be installed on to a usb hard drive? [17:09] how can i find out where a package has installed to? [17:09] im looking for the libshout package i installed [17:09] AcidRain2012: dpkg -L package [17:09] i need its default location [17:11] libshout.so.3 so is this it? lol [17:11] AcidRain2012: there is not only on location, see what llutz posted [17:11] gizmoboy: yes it can be installed to USB [17:11] iceroot: yeah i see that. its got like 15 locations === kliwon is now known as whoiskliwon [17:13] ok [17:14] stat1c_void: http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace see the section on rebuilding the package you're debugging [17:14] I want to run the same command 4 times with file1.txt file2.txt etc.. I know there is a way to do it in a loop, any suggestions? [17:15] k-bopper: i'd ask in #bash too :) [17:15] hey, I have a little issue going on. everytime I wanna go online ubuntu won't find my network. I also have win on my com and it has no issues finding my network. does anyone know how I can make ubuntu find my network? or does anyone know, why this issue actually exists? [17:15] k-bopper: for f in file1.txt file2.txt . ; do yourcommand $f ;done [17:16] does mplayer need extra codecs to play .ram files? Also, can I get a plug-in for a browser like firefox or chrome? [17:16] k-bopper: http://spiralbound.net/blog/2007/07/23/bash-for-loop-example may help [17:16] trism: thanks, haven't come across that manual yet. [17:16] k-bopper: for i in $(seq 1 100); do echo -n "file${i} " etc [17:17] why does software center fail to let me install software it says check internet connection and connection seems to work so what to do??

[17:26] ActionParsnip, and for some reason, it's _ not - [17:27] tanath: not what? [17:27] ActionParsnip, lsb_release, not lsb-release [17:27] AcidRain2012: try: sudo updatedb; locate something [17:27] ActionParsnip: you typoes lsb_release ;) to lsb-release [17:27] tanath: oh yeah, thanks L [17:27] got mixed between /etc/lsb-release and the command lsb_release [17:28] tanath: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484682 may be related, its redhat but may be similar [17:28] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 484682 in kernel "drm: X: "reserve_memtype failed/conflicting memory types d0000000-e0000000 uncached-minus<->write-combining" messages" [Medium,Closed: nextrelease] [17:29] hello [17:29] ActionParsnip, i hope there's a fix, because the flooding is constant [17:32] ActionParsnip, might it be because i'm using the old kernel? [17:32] ActionParsnip, current kernel does not boot [17:33] tanath: could try an Oneiric or even Precise liveCD and see if it happens the same [17:34] ActionParsnip, rather not use a disc if possible [17:34] ActionParsnip, this is an older install that i've been upgrading [17:35] ActionParsnip, upgrading to 11.10 broke lots of thigns though [17:35] rhrh [17:35] hi I need help with v mashines [17:36] holly_molly, vbox? related to ubuntu? [17:36] tanath: could try a clean install instead [17:36] ActionParsnip, tbh, if i do that i'll prolly switch distros. [17:36] yep vbox [17:36] holly_molly, whats the actual question [17:37] tanath: do you use propritary video driver by any chace? === orion__ is now known as orionsonofneptun [17:37] ubuntu sucks, period. [17:37] ActionParsnip, switched to one recommended by jockey after upgrade... [17:37] tanath: why switch distro? [17:37] tanath: thought so, uninstall the proprietary driver, reboot to the newest kernel then reinstall it [17:38] ActionParsnip, fed up with ubuntu. poor design decisions, getting harder to customize, and i just lost a ton of settings it seems with this last upgrade [17:38] <_Marcus> tanath: What exactly are you using Ubuntu for right now? [17:38] ActionParsnip, kernel 3 hard locks and doesn't boot. i did read somewhere that it may boot with acpi=off, so i can try that... [17:38] tanath: xubuntu and lubuntu and kubuntu are the same easiness of customizability since about Lucid [17:38] _Marcus, everything... [17:39] ActionParsnip, yeah, i'm thinking arch [17:39] <_Marcus> tanath: Well with upgrades, comes change. It seems harder to change some settings but you just need to learn how to use it. [17:39] I just installed Lubuntu on a system running Xubuntu - after purging Xubuntu at startup I get "xsession: could not start xfce-session. loading default" (or similar) - so apparently LXDE is the default already. how do i configure my system to use the default by default? [17:39] _Marcus, thats not helpful [17:39] is there a way on installing ubunto os on to a usb device [17:39] <_Marcus> tanath: You can always revert back to older version too. 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10 is still supported [17:39] what to do now [17:39] did you get pastebin [17:39] <_Marcus> tanath: What don't you like about Ubuntu right now? [17:39] ballboy909, sure unetbootin [17:39] nicofs: log off, then select LXDE and log in. Te system will then remember the session [17:39] _Marcus, it's not that. for instance you cannot uninstall both unity and bluetooth [17:40] ta [17:40] orionsonofneptun: yes, I gave the command to import the keys you missed [17:40] what is command [17:40] _Marcus, got as much as i can removed, but now uninstalling one requires installation of the other. wtf [17:40] _Marcus: maverick is EOL next month [17:40] buzzz why I need change mac adress [17:40] (17:23:22) ActionParsnip: orionsonofneptun: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192; sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5 [17:40] orionsonofneptun: I already told you , as I said... [17:40] holly_molly, pardon? [17:40] <_Marcus> tanath: Wait, what are you uininstalling? [17:41] <_Marcus> tanath: And what does it want you to install [17:41] about vbox [17:41] holly_molly: what is your issue? [17:41] _Marcus, everything unity and everything bluetooth. i have no intention of using unity, and i don't have bluetooth... [17:41] Hey all i need a little help reshelling jaunty. [17:41] ok then [17:41] what now [17:41] _Marcus, if i try to remove one, it requires installation of the other [17:41] holly_molly, how does changing mac relate to vbox? or ubuntu [17:41] <_Marcus> tanath: Then go into the sofware center, remove Bluetooth. Then remove Unity. [17:42] _Marcus, tried with aptitude and synaptic. i've had to finagle thigns before. no joy this time [17:42] orionsonofneptun: try the software centre [17:42] <_Marcus> tanath: Are you going to use command line or another desktop envorinment? [17:42] _Marcus, the 'unity' and 'bluetooth' packages can be removed, but not all the rest [17:42] _Marcus, hm? [17:42] which filesystem is suggested for a server ? ext3 ext4 btrfs ? [17:43] vbox [17:43] mherweg: btrfs may help but I'd shoot for ext4 personally [17:43] <_Marcus> tanath: You want to get rid of Unity, so are you switching to command line or using another desktop besides Unity? [17:43] as v mashine with ubuntu iguess [17:43] it says requires untrusted package bluefish bluefish-data bluefish-plugins libgucharmap7 [17:43] how can I tell which version of compiz I am running on my box? [17:43] holly_molly: ok but what is the issue? [17:43] holly_molly, yes. what is the question. please say it all on one line. [17:43] _Marcus, i have xfce and gnome, and may install others... [17:43] issue, sorry) [17:43] nishttal2: apt-cache policy compiz [17:43] ? [17:43] <_Marcus> tanath: Then just uninstall Unity. [17:44] _Marcus, icewm is alright, and nice and lightweight [17:44] and the reason i pm you actionparsnip is cause i dont know how to highlight you in channel [17:44] holly_molly: yes, what is your ubuntu under vbox issue? [17:44] <_Marcus> tanath: Any other applications left over, should need Unity. If there is no unity they are useless and will uninstall. [17:44] orionsonofneptun: you just did it by typing my nick at the start of the line [17:44] _Marcus, again, i've already uninstalled everythign unity i can and everything bluetooth i can. i can not completely get rid of both [17:44] ActionParsnip, ok it says Installed: 1:0.8.6-0ubuntu9.2 [17:44] nishttal2: there you go then :) [17:44] ok actionparsnip what do i do now [17:44] <_Marcus> tanath: I don't understand what you mean [17:44] so my next question is can i install this version on Ubuntu 11.10... the default version on 11.10 is buggy! [17:45] _Marcus, removing more packages of either requires MORE of the other [17:45] in p11.10 [17:45] _Marcus, because it's weird and unexpected :P [17:45] orionsonofneptun: try software centre.... [17:45] <_Marcus> tanath: Are you attempting to remove them from software center, or with aptitude? [17:45] in preference was change mac adress what it is and why I need it to be changed? [17:45] holly_molly: why do you need to change it? [17:45] it says requires untrusted package bluefish bluefish-data bluefish-plugins libgucharmap7 [17:45] _Marcus, aptitude and/or synaptic [17:46] hey guys [17:46] i need some help updating my system [17:46] I dont know but pref can do it [17:46] <_Marcus> tanath: Well I don't see why uninstalling something requires something else :/ [17:46] can someone pm me with some help with udpate by terminal [17:46] holly_molly: I believe you can change the mac address in the vbox config, rather than within ubuntu [17:46] _Marcus, for instance, if i try to uninstall 'bluez' it wants to install 'unity' and everything that goes with it [17:46] ??\ [17:47] cautious911: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:47] i've already tried that [17:47] cautious911: thats how it [17:47] actionparsnip did you get message? [17:47] cautious911: thats how its done [17:47] i just cant find the gedit in the console [17:47] _Marcus, exactly. it's silly [17:47] orionsonofneptun: which message? [17:47] it says requires untrusted package bluefish bluefish-data bluefish-plugins libgucharmap7 [17:47] <_Marcus> tanath: Use apt-get to uninstall it. [17:48] actionparsnip above [17:48] <_Marcus> tanath: I've never had it try to install something when uninstalling something. [17:48] orionsonofneptun: ok then run: sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated install bluefish bluefish-data bluefish-plugins libgucharmap7 [17:48] yes, but as vmashine connected by NAT change mac nothing change becouse host connected by another mac [17:48] its because im on 9.04 [17:48] _Marcus, exactly the same [17:48] cautious911: yes, Jaunty has no more support. It is EOL [17:48] <_Marcus> tanath: Then I have no idea. [17:49] damn [17:49] isnt there a way i can change the names in gedit === Freeaqingme_ is now known as Freeaqingme [17:49] and be able to update that way with out loosing the kernel [17:49] why is that what to do i want good software dangit why does everyone make me do thier work im so sick of that the software center should work dabgit [17:49] _Marcus, http://pastebin.com/vkjuRmsb [17:49] and that origin hosts mac appear in internet [17:50] cautious911: I suggest you hang fire, Precise is released next month so you can use that and it willbe LTS (or if you are feeling brave, install the pre-release) [17:50] but not vmashine [17:50] im not going to enter code that give me trash i dont want [17:50] s [17:50] I need help choosing a virtual machine system to run multiple testing VM's; which channel's best to ask in? [17:50] they need to stop trying to use my system [17:50] dfaulkner, #vbox [17:50] they disabled my optical drive too [17:50] no no nho!!!!! [17:50] holly_molly: you can make the vbox use a bridged connection and it will appear on your network like a regular physical pc [17:50] orionsonofneptun, who is they [17:50] jerks leave me alone [17:50] i cant i need jaunty kernel! [17:50] stupid hacks [17:51] orionsonofneptun, thats enough [17:51] tanath: gnome-shell obviously requires bluez, why are you trying to remove it? [17:51] ActionParsnip, an example of silliness and lack of customizability: http://pastebin.com/vkjuRmsb [17:51] bazhang, thanks. i'll try there. [17:51] that have to much ontrol over me [17:51] zykotick9, i don't have bluetooth [17:51] !ot | orionsonofneptun [17:51] orionsonofneptun: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:51] tanath: so? why are you removing it? [17:51] zykotick9, and don't want unnecessary packages [17:51] i need real ubuntu help please [17:51] yes thank you, but bridget? [17:51] <_Marcus> tanath: You removed Unity already, right? [17:51] zykotick9, because i want to. [17:51] can you explaine [17:51] orionsonofneptun, then stop your current approach [17:51] _Marcus, as much as possible [17:52] not some one on here telling me how to hurt myself more [17:52] please help [17:52] orionsonofneptun, no one is doing that [17:52] <_Marcus> tanath: Try "sudo apt-get autoremove" [17:52] _Marcus, still some unity music & lense thingies [17:52] orionsonofneptun: you haven't imported the key for one of your sources, what is your problem? calm down... [17:52] _Marcus, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. [17:52] <_Marcus> tanath: :/ [17:53] if thats the case i would be doing my own thing now the key ?? please explain [17:53] orionsonofneptun, you were told the answer twice now [17:53] im not comprehending it yet === Jay_Levitt is now known as jaylevitt [17:53] somthing about key [17:53] Someone can help me to create a PHP .deb package on ubuntu 10.04 64bits to install in another same ubuntu machine ? [17:53] zykotick9, and i'd be happy to remove gnome-shell to get rid of everything bluetooth, but i can't, because removing it requires isntallation of unity [17:53] tanath: looks fine, you have updates to install as well as packages to remove as far as I can see from your paste [17:54] ActionParsnip, it's not fine. problem is i can't remove everything unity & bluetooth [17:54] tanath: you are fighting with meta-packages... [17:54] orionsonofneptun: What is the problem? [17:54] orionsonofneptun: when you add extra sources there is a key to authenticate the packages, its no bad thing that you don't have it but it makes software centre moan [17:54] zykotick9, i'm fighting pointless dependencies [17:54] tanath: then report a bug if you suspect one [17:55] zykotick9, if there's a metapackage responsible that i'm missing, i'd like to know [17:55] action bridget connection need to be setup? [17:55] ActionParsnip, except i don't suspect a bug, i suspect poor design/decisions [17:55] tanath: if you want a custom ubuntu, start with the mini iso and only install what you want (and avoid large meta-packages) [17:55] and mac I need to reset myself? [17:55] <_Marcus> tanath: And that causes a bug. [17:55] holly_molly: its a setting in the virtualbox config (before you start the box itself) [17:55] im very frustrated ive got ubuntu 11.10 cd engeneered for me but i put it in optical drive and installit and it doesent work right its obviously not the ubuntu 11.10 ive got some one cheated me and im very angry about it and all the software i try to get is not what it used to be niether cause of spy hacks watching me [17:55] holly_molly, reset mac? why [17:56] tanath: ubuntu uses some, overreaching, metapackages unfortunatly (makes things easier for most users) [17:56] zykotick9, mm [17:56] zykotick9, but increasingly it's harder to customize well [17:56] orionsonofneptun: That made no sense. Breathe, type slowly and use punctuation [17:56] i cant do anything [17:56] tanath: agreed [17:56] tanath: try XFCE or kDE, very customizable. Gnome is not the only desktop [17:56] action i need synonim to bridget connection... [17:57] <_Marcus> !mini | tanath, use this then [17:57] tanath, use this then: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:57] zykotick9, i have a lot of packages i want installed where i don't even remember what they are... and couldn't remember them all again [17:57] holly_molly: it makes the network device appear on your network, like a new physical PC [17:57] ActionParsnip, i use xfce [17:57] action becouse if i use NAT it not happend? [17:58] holly_molly: vbox has its own virtual LAN address network. If you don't need it you can use your routers [17:58] _Marcus, if i knew about that before i may have started with it, but it's too late now... [17:58] ive been robbed of only os cd i had a chance to use i will get revenge i assure you they stole my cd and gave me another to control me i need to get the right ubuntu cd im very angry how would you fell if they controled you [17:59] orionsonofneptun: whom is controlling you exactly? [17:59] Why does software center keeps refreshing? so if u have a drop down open, it will close it and u have to open it again [17:59] so i cant find any information on changing ubuntus gedit jaunty jackalope to karmic koala and updating that way [17:59] <_Marcus> tanath: It's never too late [17:59] !eolupgrades | cautious911 [17:59] cautious911: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [17:59] cautious911: you can use the Karmic alternate CD and upgrade using that [17:59] grrrr [17:59] more downloading [17:59] _Marcus, since i have no chance of remembering all the things i've installed, it kind of is. i've spent a long time getting things how i like... [18:00] cautious911: you will then need to upgrade to Lucid, this will take a lot of data and a lot of time. If you clean install Oneiric you will have the latest stable release [18:00] okay [18:00] _Marcus, at this point, i think the easiest way to get a setup i like will be starting with arch & xfce [18:00] do you think i can use the same jaunty kernel after update [18:00] <_Marcus> tanath: Okay then, pick one: Useless programs you dont need or full customization [18:01] cautious911: or install the pre-release of Precise which is LTS, its Beta now but is released next month, depends how brave you are :) [18:01] cautious911, no [18:01] <_Marcus> tanath: Getting Arch is equal to getting the minimal installation [18:01] dang [18:01] action how I can proved my vmashine is like phisically used? [18:01] cautious911: you can use the older kernel but why? [18:01] well because [18:01] i like how it is [18:01] lolz [18:01] cautious911: bad argument [18:01] _Marcus, not quite [18:01] no no no [18:01] cautious911: sure [18:01] please help me with compilation and build .deb package of PHP on ubuntu. [18:02] <_Marcus> tanath: You have to start over, without all the programs you have on right now. [18:02] i like this kernel [18:02] baz sorry becouse i try new soft [18:02] cautious911: with root-exploits... great [18:02] _Marcus, arch has differences, like good apps i like in repos already, and more up to date.. [18:02] New whitehat forum up... Come join us www.hackslash.info [18:02] it has barely any restrictions plus im used to it [18:02] <_Marcus> tanath: Well then use Arch :L [18:02] n1x4, wrong channel for that [18:02] <_Marcus> tanath: Anyway, I got to go. [18:02] djalmafilho: why not using ubuntu from the repos? [18:02] I can't login with unity 3d because I disabled unity with ccsm, and now i'm not able to reset it. can someone help me? [18:03] okay well im going to review those links ^_^ [18:03] does anyone happen to know why kate's menus shuffle around sometimes in ubuntu 11.10? my "File" menu is now on the righthand side, even though it started out on the left [18:03] vit_o, log into another desktop and fire up ccsm and undo what you did? [18:03] vit_o: try: compiz -reset [18:03] i may do a upgrade to lts [18:03] So i did something totally dumb and accidentally deleted 2 folders from the Terminal within Ubuntu 11.10.. Is there any way to recover these folders besides scapel or photorec? [18:04] tanath, ActionParsnip , already done. no results! [18:04] ActionParsnip, there is no compiz -reset. you're prolly thinking compiz --replace [18:04] how send direct messages? [18:04] actually i dont even think scapel or photorec can recover folders only files =( [18:04] tanath: yeah that double minus single minus stuff gets annoying [18:04] holly_molly, /msg nick hello but ask first [18:04] Neldogz: i doubt photorec can do anything with the "folder", files inside maybe. i've never tried scapel. good luck. [18:05] Neldogz: try foremost [18:05] ActionParsnip, also the fact that it reloads compiz without resetting settings [18:05] oh i forgot to mention im on ubuntu netbook remix [18:05] iceroot: because I use ubuntu 10.04 server and I don't have the last php version on repo, and I would like build to update others servers with the same dist version [18:05] which most distros dont really support my netbook as well as 9.04 [18:05] cautious911, and its not supported any longer [18:05] haha see what i mean thats the main reason for wanting this kernel [18:05] tanath, so you say that just replace it ? [18:05] because it knows my netbook [18:05] anyone here that is familiar with configurating dovecot/postfix? I've run into a problem without a clear idea of what's wrong === Odenthaa is now known as Odysimus [18:05] vit_o, yes, it replaces the existing window manager, even if that's compiz [18:06] vit_o: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [18:06] vit_o, you can run it in the alt+f2 dialog [18:06] djalmafilho: and why you need the latest php version? [18:06] baz when I need write to select person what I need /msg nick?/?? [18:06] trasp: #postfix [18:06] holly_molly, support is in this channel, not via PM [18:06] iceroot, aight :) [18:06] ActionParsnip, oneric [18:06] ActionParsnip: will foremost recover the folder in its entireity? [18:06] holly_molly, and you have not asked a clear question her e yet [18:06] vit_o: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html shows how to reset compiz [18:07] vit_o, there's a handy app called compiz-fusion that can do that for you too [18:07] I see, [18:07] is there a better place to put unity's launcher bar? it's kind of annoying having it pop out of the left every time i reach to select a file in my IDE [18:07] vit_o, sorry, fusion-icon [18:07] iceroot: to use with nginx and php-fom, and last bug fixes [18:07] Action provided me about bridge connection [18:07] vs NAT [18:07] djalmafilho: and the first ones are not working with the version from 10.04? [18:07] vit_o, also links to ccsm [18:08] holly_molly, and you said you want to change mac address, but why [18:08] holly_molly: ask in #vbox and they can tell you more [18:08] I first time on iRC dear) [18:09] #vbox ok === mang0 is now known as Seryth [18:09] thanks 2 buz and to Action [18:09] can anyone direct me how to install tar.gz files === tlyu_ is now known as tlyu [18:10] ActionParsnip, i've already done that. just errors and warn. when the terminal runs it seems all ok, but if i restart nothing change and the problem is still there. [18:10] iceroot: yes, works, but not the last version 5.4 [18:10] iceroot, I realized that this problem isn't strictly a postfix-problem, so I suppose I'll have to knock my head to the wall some more ;) [18:10] cautious911, check th e eolupgrades link if you want support [18:10] djalmafilho: building php by hand is a bad idea because you dont get security updates [18:10] still need help with debugging zeitgeist (well, python really). I've built a non-stripped version of python-xapian, but python2.7-dbg still doesn't want to load _xapian.so: "undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4_64" - as I understand it means that _xapian.so is built against different Python.h or smth... [18:10] tanath, so you suggest to replace ccsm or install the other app? [18:10] trasp: without usefull details we cant help [18:11] iceroot: even download it direct from php.net ? [18:11] djalmafilho: you dont get security updates by the update manager [18:12] Neldogz: problem is, directories/folders aren't real, they're just virtual markings to the filesystem, and you deleted those ;) The files may physically be left on the filesystem, but the directory stuff is gone. [18:12] zykotick9: thank you [18:13] Does anyone have a copy of the /user/share/themes folder they can send me? If i restore that at least I could start fixing my system [18:14] iceroot: You think that I should use the version of php from repo ? [18:14] djalmafilho: yes [18:14] djalmafilho: always try to use software from the repos [18:15] zykotick9: at the risk of appearing pedantic, it's important to note that a directory is just a file, not "virtual markings to the filesystem", and so can be recovered just as any other file (or not recovered, depending on the damage :-) === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral [18:15] iceroot: but if my LTS version have five years, I will use the old version of PHP during this period. [18:16] djalmafilho: old = not bad, old = stable, old = fewer security issues [18:16] djalmafilho: i dont get why people always need the newest version [18:16] sipior: are you aware of any method to recover the deleted "folder" file? would be handy. as a sidenote: i recently learned that not everything in unix is a file, sorta shattered my world view ;) [18:17] sipior: i figured folders where file metadata? [18:18] zykotick9: what is not a file on unix? [18:18] zykotick9: Plan9 is closer to the "everything a file" ideal. [18:18] iceroot: network interfaces [18:19] zykotick9: recovering the folder is just the same as recovering any other file, assuming you have the inode/vnode, etc. [18:19] crw-rw-rwT 1 root root 10, 200 Mär 14 00:07 tun [18:19] what is c and T? [18:19] iceroot: newer features to be taken advantage of etc [18:19] iceroot: character device with sticky-bit set [18:20] iceroot: ... i'm totally drawing a blank on what the example that i saw was... it was sorta obvious after i saw it too, wasn't nic that's for sure [18:20] Got me 3 older 1tb drives in a linux software raid5. Thinking of purchasing an additional two 1tb drives and rebuild a new raid5 md device using the three old and two newer drives. Should I be concerned that the new 2 drives will be newer models and by different manufacturers? [18:21] LucidGuy: not really, unless the drives themselves are of poor quality, of course. [18:21] Hey yo, wierd issue suddly my home partition fills up === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [18:21] we are talking gigabyptes in the matter for a few minutes [18:22] sipior, thats what I was thinking. [18:22] pushpop: what's taking up the space? from ~ try "du -sh *" to get an idea [18:23] ragazzi ho un problema grave [18:23] iceroot, well.. All I really can say is that I can send mails locally and they reach my Maildir-folder when I telnet smtp at localhost:25, but I can't get them from the internet as it seems, and dovecot doesn't show up in "sudo ps -a | grep dovecot" even though I don't get any errormessages when starting the service [18:23] sono andato ad istallare ubuntui [18:23] e al riavvio mi esce no partition detect [18:23] zykes-: like a du -sh /home/user ?

"cd ~" then run the command - so you can see what folder in your home dir is hogging space [18:25] llutz, all commented out [18:25] Suppose I'll uncomment it?

[18:52] strange situation however I've had worse [18:52] tanath, you user-dirs.dirs file is non-standard it just wants to know if it should replace your user-dirs.dirs with a standard form of the file [18:52] lapion, thing is, i don't know why language 'changed' or what exactly it wants to do [18:53] escott, that's not even close to what it looks like it wants to do o_O [18:53] tanath, if you like your .config/user-dirs.dirs the way it is simply say don't ask again [18:53] I am still on 11.04.. holding off hoping shuttleworth changes his mind about unity, or changes unity to something with a bit of a menu [18:53] tanath, it says very clearly that existing content will not be moved [18:53] :-S [18:53] escott, i ended up saying leave them and didn't check don't ask again, since i didn't know what it wanted and no one was answering [18:53] ver irc.rizon.net [18:54] escott, that's about the only thing it's clear about [18:54] escott, i had no idea what it was or why it popped up [18:54] ah AH! [18:54] Empathy is retar ded sometimes [18:54] escott, so... if i don't know the answer? [18:55] ok question. How to i get flash player installed on wine [18:55] tanath, just look at .config/user-dirs.dirs if you like it as is then say "don't ask again and no" if you want a standard config with a Music folder in ~ then say yes (or modify your user-dirs.dirs directly) and then move any content you need to move to the new location [18:55] it gives me the famous sha1sum mismatch! Rename /home/billy/.cache/winetricks/flash/install_flash_player_ax.exe and try again. [18:55] BillyIsBack, 'winetricks flash' should do it [18:56] escott, if you check out the screenshot tanath made you would see that the system wants to move the files in ~/ to ~/Music [18:57] hi, I just installed ubuntu 11.04 to a usb drive, and just booted from it, but I'm having an error with my casper-rw filesystem. whenever i click on it, it says "Cannot find /cow" [18:57] and it's sorta hard to use ubuntu without a filesystem =/ [18:57] tanath, it popped up because you don't have a ~/Music folder and it is expecting you to have one, so it says "maybe you changed your native language and the folder /home/tanath/Música should be renamed" but in your case you just have ~/ instead of ~/some_i18n_of_Music [18:57] lapion, it says contents won't be moved [18:57] boo__, you have a live system not an install on the usb stick [18:58] lapion, is certainly unclear though [18:58] escott, i do have a Music folder [18:58] lapion: but when I used the usb-stick install tool it asked if I wanted to create a partition to store my files, and I created one [18:58] boo__, it's stil a live system and not an install [18:58] tanath, but your .config/user-dirs.dirs is not pointing at it. its pointing at ~. just look at user-dirs.dirs and it should make some more sense [18:59] escott, it's just that i kept having permissions issues with it, so i had to make it elsewhere and make ~/Music link to it [18:59] you have to bot from the media and then install to the usb stick [18:59] boo__, you have to bot from the media and then install to the usb stick [19:00] tanath, yes but user-dirs.dirs does not indicate that music files should be put in ~/Music it indicates they go in ~. its asking you if that is what you want [19:00] escott, what would have caused that change? it was fine before [19:00] boo__, bot=boot [19:01] escott, you're right though. music path was changed in .config/user-dirs.dirs to ~ for some reason [19:01] tanath, it may not have been correct before, something else may have triggered it to check that the dirs match the language and in doing so its flagging the directory. just figure out how you want it to be configured and configure it as such in user-dirs.dirs [19:02] escott, yeah, i edited the file back to ~/Music. just wish i knew what happened [19:02] escott, ty though [19:02] tanath, maybe you logged in one time without a ~/Music and instead of creating on (or maybe b/c it tried to create one and failed) it had to fallback to updating user-dirs.dirs to point to ~ who knows [19:03] escott, it points to music on another partition. may have been unmounted at some point [19:05] hey, does anyone happen to know how to disable the icon of text files from becoming a summary of the text? [19:05] tanath, you might want to file a bug on the pop-up it is rather confusing and none of the actions make much sense. why would i want to rename the file but NOT move the content? [19:06] I have a ubuntu host and guest (virtualbox) and have forgotten the guest setup for a shared file with the host. I have it setup in settings at this point. === pdtpatr1ck_ is now known as pdtpatr1ck [19:07] ah except that the guest is precise Doh wrong channel.

I've set up server to share a few dirs (smb.conf: http://pastebin.com/hVRfG7zU) I've added the user kyle to the samba users and created a password, however when I try to access archive2 from the client computer, it won't accept the samba password for kyle on the server. Anyone notice anything wrong in the smb.conf? [19:09] ask away 00i [19:09] hate when this happends, just installed ubuntu completely removed windows. Now I get some work where I got to heavily edit documents and images :( [19:09] escott: beautiful, thank you; who'd have thought to look in nautilus' preferences? :3 [19:10] tandoliga, gimp? imagemagick? [19:10] tried gthumb but I dont see options like cut etc [19:10] Escherial, can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not [19:10] escott: ah, sorry, i'm not...well, if i am, i'm being self-deprecatory [19:10] why can't I update flash player for Google Chrome??? D: [19:11] escott: i do appreciate the help [19:11] i was more irritated at myself for not thinking to look in the obvious place, i suppose [19:11] Escherial, nautilus is the name of the filemanager and it draws the icons on the desktop anything related to that check nautilus first [19:12] escott: got it, makes sense. on a related note, kate prompts me to find an application when i try to invoke "open in file manager" on an item in the document browser...is there an executable for nautilus somewhere that i could point kate at, and if so where? [19:12] tandoliga, the gimp will definitely have what you want, but some of the other image viewers will have some limited capabilities [19:12] it'd be nice to be able to open folders in nautilus from kate [19:13] never mind, whereis answered my question [19:13] Escherial, kate is the kde editor and would expect to use the kde filemanager konqueror. if you are using unity/gnome try using gedit for a more consistent experience [19:14] What's the package the contains the posix4 library?

Then run it, and use it to unset Sync to Vblank OpenGL option. That helps a lot of people's performance. [19:37] Hi how can i install fs-icons in ubuntu [19:39] !lista [19:39] bigio: No warez here!

[20:14] no [20:14] carli2, something like? udisks --enumerate | xargs -0 udisks --eject [20:14] !aptfix | Zaitzev [20:14] Zaitzev: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [20:15] ActionParsnip: I don't have a graphical shell installed, the gadget should be automated [20:15] with removable device i mean usb flash drives. [20:15] ActionParsnip: I'll try that and come back to you, thanks [20:15] carli2: but did you safetly remove it last time you used it? [20:15] ActionParsnip: as i said, i dont have nautilus installed, and I dont want to install nautilus [20:15] carli2: I never mentioned nautilus.... [20:16] ActionParsnip: and /dev/sdb is there and ok. when i manually mount it, it works [20:16] hello , i need to make ubuntu run a script after i plug in my usb modem ... how to make that happen ? [20:16] ActionParsnip: I did the above, and tried apt-get upgrade again. Same errors appear [20:16] ActionParsnip: but i want it automated [20:16] carli2: did you safe remove it / eject the device before you pulled it out last time it was in a system === orion is now known as Guest61815 [20:16] so there's an update for Nautilus it won't let me install, that's kinda funny.. [20:17] all guys, is there any way to learn linux developing ? u guys are awesome [20:17] the problem with automount is that I dont know how to use wildcards [20:17] Zaitzev: can you give the output of the command ubottu gave please, you can use http://pastie.org [20:17] It didn't give ANY output === bwlang_ is now known as bwlang [20:17] carli2: can you kindly answer my perfectly reasonable question please.... [20:18] ActionParsnip: yes godammed, I'm not talking about ejecting something, I want a simple package that contains udev rules that mounts a file system into /media [20:18] Zaitzev: ok if you run: ps -ef | egrep 'dpkg|apt' | grep -v grep is there any output? [20:18] one sec [20:19] carli2: it flushes the caches and is quite relevant to the situation [20:19] ActionParsnip: "egrep: dpkg|apt: No such file or directory" [20:19] ActionParsnip: why? there are no udev rules that do anything [20:19] carli2: if you add an entry in /etc/fstab it will be used, or you can use a udev rule [20:19] dr3mro, you'll probably need to write some udev rules check /etc/udev/rules for examples [20:20] hello how to make ubuntu run a bash script after i plug in any hardware for example usb modem / [20:20] ActionParsnip: removable devices are removable. I need a set of udev rules. but are there udev rules I can use? (or do I have to write my own?) [20:20] dr3mro_: create a custom udev-rule for this === korben is now known as Guest71728 [20:20] carli2: you might have to look at udev [20:20] carli2: you'll probably have to due to no gvfs,it may be installable in CLI, without desktop UI [20:21] escott, llutz can you help me .. !! [20:21] Zaitzev: I just ran the command and it worked. Are you copying and pasting it? [20:21] yes [20:21] ActionParsnip: yes, gvfs is installable. does it add udev rules? [20:21] dr3mro_: to get an idea thow that works http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 [20:22] carli2: it will watch for new devices etc, should make things nicer [20:22] Zaitzev: ok try: ps -ef | grep dpkg; ps -ef | grep apt [20:22] Zaitzev: any output ? [20:22] lol [20:22] only some error about wrong flag or whatever [20:22] let me paste you the output [20:23] Zaitzev: cool [20:23] http://pastie.org/3603544 [20:23] carli2: http://hackaday.com/2009/09/18/how-to-write-udev-rules/ [20:23] ActionParsnip: hint: pgrep 'apt|dpkg' [20:23] ActionParsnip, thanks ive installed the extention from offecial gnome shell extention home page [20:23] it works [20:23] llutz: egrep works here but cool [20:23] syral: nice [20:24] escott, llutz will udev rules run the bash script ? [20:24] Zaitzev: try with pgrep instead [20:24] https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6/applications-menu/ just prissed on and it worked immediatly [20:24] wait a minute [20:24] dr3mro_: yes, use the RUN+="sh yourscript" [20:24] ActionParsnip: I ran the command using root user [20:25] got some output now [20:25] Zaitzev: ok, what you got? [20:25] ActionParsnip http://pastie.org/3603555 [20:25] Hey guys [20:26] hm, mailutils? I can't remember that.. [20:26] ##subreddit FTW [20:26] Zaitzev: try: sudo kill 24018 [20:27] i did already ;) [20:27] Zaitzev: and is it gone? [20:27] how can i reenable plymouth boot screen after i foolishly disable it? any idea? [20:27] ActionParsnip: About that non-working output earlier, I bet it has to do with the .bashrc.. [20:27] syral: how did you disable it? [20:27] ActionParsnip: and yes it's gone, I'll try an update now and see if it helps [20:28] I changed my login manager from LightDM to GDM, but now no manager boots up. Unfortunately, I am on a tablet with no method for external keyboard except bluetooth, and I am not aware of a way to pair a bluetooth keyboard without the X-based config. Now it does not boot up any window manager at boot. [20:28] there we go [20:28] ActionParsnip: thanks a bunch :) [20:28] i wrote sudo plymouth.config.disabled [20:28] I can mount the file system remotely, and edit files there. What might I edit to make it boot up lightdm again at boot (as it allows me to add a soft keyboard) [20:28] tty1 is not handy for a touchscreen with no keyboard :) [20:28] Zaitzev: nice, yeah that process was locking the packages as only ONE process can access the packages [20:28] ActionParsnip, i wrote sudo plymouth.config.disabled [20:29] ActionParsnip: Got an error installing tho :P [20:29] <[]tsukasa[]> i'm mounting a nas drive in fstab, not sure if this is the issue but I have it mapped to a folder via cifs and can't seem to change file owner away from root. I'm I missing a trick? [20:29] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/3603572 hehe [20:29] Zaitzev: then there are still apt-get or dpkg processes running [20:30] I guess the question is, when I do a dpkg-reconigure gdm and change my default login manager frorom lightdm to gdm, and that doesn't work at boot (but starting from a terminal (sudo gdm) does) ... what file do I edit to toggle it back to how it was? [20:30] ActionParsnip: if you look at the process-list, wouldn't the two dpkg-preconfigure --apt.. be the culprits? [20:30] []tsukasa[]: add extra options to the mount [20:30] tsaknorris: can you paste your fstab options here? also make sure that the empty folder it is going to be mounted in has the correct permissions. [20:30] Zaitzev: anything like that needs killing [20:30] Without it I am facing a reinstlal, which is quite a bother on the hacked tablet :P [20:30] []tsukasa[]: can you paste your fstab options here? also make sure that the empty folder it is going to be mounted in has the correct permissions. [20:30] Zaitzev: I then recommend you run: sudo apt-get -f install so you know all is ok [20:31] nox-Hand: if you install gdm, doesn't it set itself as the default? [20:31] there we go, it went through fine now, thanks again ActionParsnip. [20:32] Zaitzev: np man. That's why I asked the first question I hit you with :) [20:32] <[]tsukasa[]> hydrox24: i'm just using //ipaddress/sharename /svn cifs username=name,password=password 0 0 [20:32] :] [20:32] ActionParsnip: I gather it does. The issue is that now it boots nothing at bootup (not sure why) and just starting gdm manually was fine up until now. Then I got in the pickle that my bluetooth device reset (out of power) so networkmanager needs a new keyboard paired === black-shadow is now known as Guest62427 [20:32] ActionParsnip: And since I have *no* keyboard on the touchscreen tablet, I can't even log in to the tty1 it boots up with. [20:32] hey. on a fresh ubuntu server precise, what is the cmd to setup sshd? any quick wizzards in terminal? openssh package is already installed [20:33] pls help [20:33] MarKsaitis: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:33] MarKsaitis, openssh-server and #ubuntu+1 [20:33] MarKsaitis: what else do you need to setup? [20:33] ActionParsnip, I can, however, mount the filesystem. I have it open now, and figured if I toggle the right file I would be able to reboot into Ubuntu and make the tablt boot with X so I can use virtual keyboard. [20:33] MarKsaitis: oh yeah Precise in #ubuntu+1 [20:33] escott: thanks [20:34] nox-Hand: you can add a command to run startx as another user using: su -c [20:34] <[]tsukasa[]> hydrox24: reading up and I assume I need to override the uid and gid ? [20:35] ActionParsnip, openssh-server was already selected in setup of the os [20:35] MarKsaitis, sounds like an issue go to the #ubuntu+1 channel [20:35] why isn't openssh-server part of the default anyhow? [20:35] seems silly that it's not [20:36] and by default, what is the password for root? or is it always randomized? [20:36] !root | TheSimkin [20:36] TheSimkin: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:36] escott: how do you use sudo through sftp? [20:37] ubottu, but sudo cant modify root file system, can it? [20:37] syral: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:37] TheSimkin, you can't [20:37] hello [20:37] escott: and rsync? [20:37] TheSimkin, its not even a meaningful question [20:37] escott: it is, what if you want to backup a system remotely. [20:37] ubottu, loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool [20:37] backing up without root privileges would be retarded. [20:38] TheSimkin, then set yourself up an authkey for root [20:38] TheSimkin: trasfer the files over then SSH over and move as you need [20:38] ActionParsnip: Might I be able to set that up in a script file somewhere, so it runs as root (just lightdm as root at bootup)? I have root file system access, but not a booted Ubuntu. === harry is now known as Guest22103 [20:39] ActionParsnip: I mounted my root file system from WebOS, and have terminal access. [20:39] nox-Hand: you could add the command in /etc/rc.local to run the command you need to start lightdm etc [20:39] TheSimkin, with open source why would you bother to backup the root fs. use something like etckeeper and backup your mysql databases etc in var and use !clone but backup up / seems stupid [20:39] if I didn't want to install a package name using sudo apt-get install package-name but just wanted to get the version number of that package-name... how can i do that in ubuntu? [20:40] escott: if you backup everything then you can chroot into your back up and run everthing form in there in case yourp rimary fails [20:40] ActionParsnip: Will attempt! :) [20:40] escott: it's actually a fantastic idea [20:40] JohnNapster: "apt-cache policy package-name" [20:40] escott: especially if you backup medium is a snapshotting file system. [20:40] TheSimkin, if you can take snapshots with lvm just export your snapshot then [20:41] zykotick9: thanks... why's the "policy" part needed? [20:41] ActionParsnip: Rebooting to test :) [20:41] JohnNapster: apt-cache has other options ;) [20:41] i see [20:41] TheSimkin, in any case setup an authkey, you may have to modify the sshd config but that will do what you want [20:41] and the policy part is specifically to get a version number of a package? [20:42] []tsukasa[]: sorry for the late response, but Yes [20:42] JohnNapster: ya. "apt-cache search foo" is also popular [20:42] hey, my autocomplete on a directory name does this: cd dir_na[tab] returns "cd dir_name[space]" -- how can I remove that damn space and replace it with a / ? [20:43] My PhpMyAdmin dosen't work any tips ? i had it dowloaded and intstalled but nothing more then that [20:43] make sure u have, apache, php and mysql working [20:43] also make sure its in a web accessible location [20:44] zykotick9: i did apt-cache policy (without the package-name part) and at the end it says Pinned packages: and then nothing following... what are pinned packages? [20:44] Seea_: try sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server mysql-client libapache2-mod-php5 [20:44] !pin | JohnNapster [20:44] JohnNapster: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [20:44] i had, but my firend said to me that it was some command i would type in .. [20:44] Seea_: I might have messed up the package names a bit, try apt-cache search if I did... [20:44] Seea_: sudo apache2ctl graceful or sudo apache2ctl restart [20:45] Seea_: if that still doesn't do it, Apache is not configured to load php files for some reason === bindi__ is now known as bindi [20:46] JohnNapster: pinning "should" never be needed. it can be useful if you are mixing repos (PPAs would count here). [20:47] i was just reading the link that the bot offered me === bwlang_ is now known as bwlang [20:47] zykotick9: do _you_ have any pinned packages? === nagarjuna is now known as blue-diomond [20:48] JohnNapster: nope, never had to use it [20:48] so who would be using such a feature and why? [20:48] why i can not mount the device? sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev [20:48] JohnNapster: two packages, same name - but from different repos with different version [20:49] hey, my autocomplete on a directory name does this: cd dir_na[tab] returns "cd dir_name[space]" -- how can I remove that damn space and replace it with a / ? [20:49] lotus: try = cd "dir_na [20:49] new_ubuntu, what error message does it give [20:50] zykotick9: are you saying I have to type a " before every directory if I want to autocomplete without a trailing space? [20:50] lotus: well something is certainly up with your example? [20:51] escott, thank i have result [20:51] zykotick9: i see... but i think this feature is pointless... apt does a good job installing the proper package, so this feature should be removed from apt-cache [20:51] lotus: did that work? [20:51] do you agree? [20:51] zykotick9: Mmm that " did not do the trick. I think I found a bug report labeling this problem as something to do with the acroread.sh in the bash_completion.d directory [20:51] JohnNapster: no i don't agree it should be removed! it has a point, just not one i find useful. [20:51] I do have a wee issue with getting a printer to work [20:52] zykotick9: removing that file seems to help, as long as I reload my bash window. I had solved this earlier, but it looks like the problem was because I left a screen session open and some of the older windows didn't reload the bash file [20:52] lotus: ahhh, bash completion stuff can be tricky. i remember something about acroread causing some issue... [20:52] zykotick9: thankyou for trying to help~ [20:52] eegore: wassup? [20:52] lotus, what is the directory name? what are your shopt settings? [20:52] zykotick9: since apt always installs the best version, i don't understand how this can be useful [20:52] the base configuration utility sees the printer but the jobs are not printing to the network printer [20:53] escott: didn't matter what the directory name was. I'm not sure what shopt settings are. [20:53] lotus, "shopt" === HACKER is now known as Guest18060 [20:53] if i du sudo apt-get install libgphoto2-2, where is it then installed? [20:53] How do I get hold of a standard dovecot.conf? (11.10) Or how do I generate a new one..? [20:54] bdi: try "dpkg -L libgphoto2-2" to see where it installed stuff [20:54] I am using a Brother MFC on the netwrok [20:54] lotus, means "shell options" [20:54] eegore: did you go to the Brother site to get the driver? [20:54] zykotick9: ... well, only if you want to contol apt to install a specific version of a package... is that correct? [20:55] found it... [20:55] JohnNapster: exactly [20:55] hey, does anybody know of a better mush client than gnome-mud? You can't copy text out of it, or use links, or fullscreen it, and logging it is... interesting. [20:56] zykotick9: do you fancy having older (tested through time and presumably more stable) versions of packages... or do you crave for latest and greates? [20:56] greatest [20:56] JohnNapster: it has it's uses. but i personally think it's a level of package complexity that should be avoided (but that's just my overly conservative views on gnu/linux) [20:56] JohnNapster: i'm all about stability [20:56] !info tintin++ [20:56] tintin++ (source: tintin++): classic text-based MUD client.

[21:02] trasp: look at "etckeeper", very handy in those cases [21:03] there are, of course, compiled packages, but i want to do that through apt [21:03] llutz, Allright, will take a looksie :) === bwlang_ is now known as bwlang [21:03] so i guess i should go and grab the package at winehq.org [21:04] alrighty then [21:05] ActionParsnip, thanks dude === mintman is now known as JelloPop [21:06] ActionParsnip: You, Sir, saved my bacon :) Back on Ubuntu on my system :D [21:06] Thanks, ActionParsnip!

[21:12] very straight forward [21:13] ikonia can i reduce the size of the partion though [21:13] a few gb [21:13] A_J: sure [21:13] just create the new partition smaller [21:13] if i have image.img.gz, how can i extract it and write it to /dev/sda? === matthew is now known as Guest11474 === Companion is now known as companion [21:14] jimmy51_: what do you mean "write it to /dev/sda" [21:14] jimmy51_, gunzip | dd of=/dev/sda [21:14] hi, can someone tell me how to find out what the cpu-usage of a certain process is? My server has a lot of >1.0 for more than a day and I can't figure out who's the culprit [21:14] okie ikonia i'll go ahead and order the SSD. thanks [21:14] Manehattan htop [21:14] ikonia: i created a backup of an entire HDD with dd, now i want to write it back === Ben___ is now known as Guest3516 [21:14] drivers are 32 bit and need forcing [21:14] a_j: command not found... [21:14] jimmy51_: how did you create the image [21:14] Manehattan download it [21:15] sudo apt-get install htop [21:15] Manehattan: The cli version is top [21:15] A_J: ok... due to the load that will take ages [21:16] ikonia: dd if=/dev/sda conv=sync,noerror bs=512K | gzip -c > /media/image.img.gz [21:16] ok, so just dd it back [21:16] Manehattan hmm, okie [21:16] A_J: or not... ok, it tells me "init" takes up 100% [21:16] ikonia: i'm trying to but must be doing something wrong. i put a fresh drive in, used dd to zero it out (no partitions, not mounted, etc) [21:16] jimmy51_: are you restoring it to a different disk ? [21:17] how yall doing?? [21:17] ikonia: my restore command is: gunzip -c /media/image.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sda conv=sync,noerror bs=512K [21:17] init (short for initialization) is a program for Unix-based computer operating systems that spawns all other processes. It runs as a daemon and typically has PID 1. The boot loader starts the kernel and the kernel starts init. If one were to delete init without a replacement, the system would encounter a kernel panic on the next reboot. [21:17] jimmy51_: are you restoring it to a different disk ? [21:17] ikonia: i get Permission denied /dev/sda (oh... using sudo of course). [21:17] ikonia: yes, different disk [21:17] jimmy51_: are you restoring it to a different disk ? [21:18] ikonia: yes, different disk. removed original. [21:18] jimmy51_, you probably dont want to restore with noerror that seems a bit wrong [21:18] jimmy51_: is the disk the same size [21:18] A_J: I am aware of what init is, I'm just wondering if it should have a 100% load for days [21:18] ikonia: they new disk is 500GB, old was 250GB. [21:18] jimmy51_: ok, then that's not a good thing to do [21:18] jimmy51_: the partition table and everything will be different [21:18] jimmy51_: but it's up to you if you wish to continue [21:19] Manehattan i'm unsure too. perhaps ask others on the channel such as ikonia [21:19] ikonia: it's ok... i'm not expecting it to boot and be perfect... this is just to prove i have the files in a compressed archive. [21:19] wait if it's a vps, does it even have to be my init or can it be someone else's === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [21:21] Sooooo, today I upgrade my family's desktop from Ubuntu 8.04 or somesuch to 11.10. This should be fun. [21:21] well howdy! anybody using bitpim? [21:21] Athanasius good luck :) [21:21] what's the bitpim install procedure like these days? [21:21] ikonia: Maybe you can tell me why my init process uses up 100%? [21:21] Is there an 'easy', secure way to configure DNS dynamic updates in linux? [21:21] ikonia: so... should my dd command to restore work? i can't figure out why it says permission denied. the drive is not mounted and i'm using sudo. [21:22] Manehattan: could be many reasons.

[22:54] hello everyone I have problems with samba I tried to install it from synaptic pakage manager (SAMBA4)( I use lubuntu) [22:54] and I had errors with smb.conf file I tried to solve them but no hope.. so I tryed to install samba 3 stable from www.samba.org [22:54] I removed the previous installation using "sudo apt-get remove samba --purge" and compiled the packet following the directions in the site.. now I type samba in the terminal and it sayes thats not installed and I should install samba 4 [22:54] Kostas110: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:56] how can I figure out why skype keeps on crashing? [22:56] Jordan_U: yarg: Does dpkg-reconfigure run an install and update or would that be needed as well?

[22:58] yarg: Ok, then that should take care of it. [22:59] arand: jordan_u: booting back into ubuntu again to do that. hopefully this will fix it! [23:00] yarg: When you are prompted for install devices make sure that both sda and sdb are selected (and that no partitions are selected). That way booting should work no matter which drive your BIOS decides to boot from. [23:01] yarg: You select/unselect using space bar, and continue on to the next question with Enter. [23:03] jordan_u: it's listed as sdd and sdd1 this time. so select /dev/sda and /dev/sdd but not /dev/sdd1, correct? [23:03] yarg: Correct. [23:04] jordan_u: all right, rebooting again.

[23:12] er never mind :) [23:12] thought that you wanted me to type that in the prompt hehe [23:13] next, linux will have Irsi to talk to lol [23:13] dotblank: can you walk me through the process so that i can learn it properly? [23:14] yarg: You seem to have many internal hard drives. I would recommend running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" again and selecting all of the drives (but none of the partiitons) as install devices. The only downside is that if you won't be able to boot any of the other drives if you decide to remove the sdb drive. [23:14] Siri* [23:15] dotblank: ? [23:17] bdi: what r u trying to do?

[23:20] bdi: i'm clueless srry [23:20] arg why must it be so damn difficult [23:20] !checkinstall | bdi [23:20] bdi: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! === kyle is now known as Guest83249 [23:21] arand: i have tried checkinstall..and it fails [23:24] what chat program should i get thats free and will connect to freenode, x-chat only givs a 30 day try for windows? [23:25] i found one called y chat a while ago, but i guess it got pulled off [23:26] ZeloZelos: try irssi [23:26] ZeloZelos: why do you care about trial period on windows? [23:26] ZeloZelos: there are xchat builds for windows that aren't restricted [23:26] because it expired bdi :) [23:27] ZeloZelos: basic Mirc expires too, but allows connection even if expired with no problems:) [23:27] ty guys for the suggestions, ...sorry i didnt realize i was on ubuntu's chat room, thought i joined blender-chat [23:27] ZeloZelos: for example: http://www.silverex.org/download/ (I'm sure google can find more for you if you look, I know there are several out there) [23:28] ZeloZelos: how is that possible when you are running on ubuntu? [23:28] bdi: he said he's on windows [23:28] bdi im in windows [23:28] ZeloZelos: why are you then in the ubuntu channel? [23:29] ubuntu wantabee [23:29] bdi see my statement about it just a few secs ago === Taftse2 is now known as Taftse [23:29] hey so [23:29] uhm [23:29] ZeloZelos: i dont see how your question has any relevance to ubuntu [23:29] bdi ???...did you read my previous statement that pertains to just that? [23:29] bdi: Next version of Ubuntu (12.04) and Debian (Wheezy) has libgphoto2 2.4.13 packaged... [23:29] I use Banshee Media Player [23:30] and when I use the Single Repeat function [23:30] it cuts off the last few seconds of the song [23:30] any clue as to how I might be able to make it smoothly loop my song(s)? [23:30] ZeloZelos: try hydrairc [23:31] Vaela: filthy hack: add a few seconds of silence to the end of each song? [23:31] ssta: that's the problem [23:31] Vaela if you get audacity you can edit the ends and add/remove silence n stuff [23:31] arand: sounds nice...but that will first be out in 2 weeks or so right? [23:31] my songs are the kind that smoothly loop [23:31] ZeloZelos: it loops perfectly in, say, Clementine [23:31] or anything I use on Windows [23:31] it's just Banshee that's doing it [23:32] Vaela: sorry, I was kinda joking. I don't use banshee, so I dunno what sorts of bugs it has [23:32] o [23:32] what do /you/ use? [23:32] bdi: End of april, depending on your needs you could run the beta in a virtual machine or so, maybe... [23:32] hey guys. ubuntu noob. just did a apt-get for the GUI for ftpd. How do i actually .. get to the GUI lol. Like where do i go to run it [23:32] Vaela: VLC usually. [23:33] Vaela: thre's a bazillion media players available...try a few, decide which one you prefer yourself :) [23:33] Vaela..oh are they mp3? it may have to do with the decoder or something like that, those werent orig for linux if im not mistaken they were re-compiled for it [23:33] ZeloZelos: yes, they are mp3 [23:34] no help? simple question [23:35] Vaela try diff codecs, maybe that'll do it [23:35] Ampix0: the "old" way of linux is to read the documentation, and edit configurations files [23:35] different codecs [23:35] right so [23:35] how do I change the codec? [23:35] Ampix0: which ftpd did you install? [23:37] icedtea ProFtpd [23:37] Ampix0, you would do better to use ssh and its protocols i.e. sftpd [23:38] icedtea. admittedly i am a massive noob to linux. fll on windows programmer, but you know. MY friend and i are trying to set up a dedicated MC server. almost there lol. [23:38] Ampix0: what do you need ftp for? Are you going to allow users to upload files? [23:39] itaylor57. alright. is it easy? lol. total linux noob. Can i still use filezilla back on windows? [23:39] hello guys [23:39] icedtea. no its for me. the server is not in my house. [23:39] which program do you use to convert wav to mp3? [23:40] Ampix: if its just you, I would use ssh/sftp === Richard_Cavell_ is now known as Richard_Cavell [23:41] icedtea alright i know just a little about that. Can i still use filezilla? [23:41] . [23:41] Is there a simple way to monitor over time the launching of processes? I ask because often often the parent pid entry for a process is useless: say, when process A launches process B which launches process C and then process B closes. [23:41] Ampix0: err wait, are you just downloading files, or uploading files to it? [23:41] Hey, when installing ubuntu alongside windows 7 (different partition), I recreated the swap partition not knowing what would happen http://i.imgur.com/ChccT.jpg has anyone ever had this problem and/or knows a solution? Any help will be much appreciated. [23:41] anyone knows drivers 4 Chicony Webcam? [23:42] icedtea. I guess mostly just uploading. I would prefer both though. I WILL need sh though anyway. we are using this for a mc server [23:42] get a windows install cd [23:42] anyone know how to install adobe flash plugin completely from commandline from a live cd? I don't know which repository command I need and which apt-get name for adobe flash [23:42] Ampix0, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/TransferFiles [23:42] and boot up open the CMD and enter bootrec /fixmbr [23:42] maXXer: websearch for the USB ID, you can find it if you run: lsusb [23:42] How can I "zip archive.zip folder" and exclude a directory? Ive read the manual as well as the internet [23:43] vv, won't that overwrite grub? [23:43] ActionParsnip, i tried [23:43] arand: jordan_u: thanks for the help. i still haven't been able to fix the problem yet so i'm just going to try again another time. thanks again! [23:43] ActionParsnip, maybbe i have to try one more time :D === _EricReitz_ is now known as EricReitz === synaptix|ubuntu is now known as synaptix|piekeep [23:43] i have a 2008 macbook with ubuntu as the sole OS, I cannot get wifi to work.. this is the output of "lspci -v" http://pastebin.com/9Eptkixz === synaptix|piekeep is now known as synaptix|ubuntu [23:43] Ampix0: are you trying to transfer files to a ubuntu server for your minecraft server? [23:44] can someone help me with getting wireless [23:44] i am using oneiric [23:44] !broadcom | newhaskeller [23:44] newhaskeller: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:44] Hey guys, I just did a backup from almost 1tb using rsync locally. The first HD shows 792gb and the backup hd shows 801gb. Why this difference between them? [23:45] xaviers3468 the ubutu server IS going to be the minecraft server. im just trying to set it up and manage it === Guest36384 is now known as DJ [23:45] Ampix0: and you need help transferring and managing files? [23:46] xaviers3468. what it looks like from what all you guys are showing me is i maybe just need to set up an SSH server on this box. and that will handle the ssh and the FTP. And then I could command the MC server from the SSH as well [23:47] how do i get mac drivers for an unconnected machine [23:47] Ampix0: Yep, that's it and by handling ssh sftp is enabled automatically [23:47] newhaskeller the only way VIA a usb pendrive [23:47] or external H/d [23:48] xaviers3468. Now, I know im retarded but... How do i set up the SSH server [23:48] newhaskeller: the page sows how to do it offline. Considering the system is a laptop, you could easily use an Ethernet connection and get updates and the drivers [23:49] DJ: you can actually use the install media, so the only way isn't a usb pendrive [23:49] okay ActionParsnip I'll keep it in mind thank you. [23:49] Maybe different block sizes? [23:51] haz3lnut, is it possible 9gb difference? Can you take a look at my fdisk -l at http://paste.ubuntu.com/885682/ [23:52] haz3lnut, maybe because one is ntfs and other one is ntfs? [23:53] here's a bit of a silly question: how does one view HTML documentation for a package? [23:53] dualMoon, open with your browser [23:53] dualMoon, install dwww [23:53] dualMoon, via your browser [23:54] dualMoon: use your web browsr... [23:54] DJ: thank you. [23:54] no problem dualMoon [23:54] to others: please tell me you didn't think i meant like that :/ [23:54] haz3lnut, maybe because one is ntfs and other one is ext?* [23:55] guys the websearch for the driver 04f2:b1d6 get me on the ubuntu.com/components [23:55] 4096 byte v 512 bytes if there's a lotta files, also diff filesystems [23:56] where i can't download anithing [23:56] i need that driver absolutely [23:56] was this a first backup or a subsequent backup? [23:57] haz3lnut, the first one [23:57] please? [23:57] this is strange yesterday I used mkfs.ntfs to format it, and now it says it is a linux partition... crazy stuff [23:58] DJ: thanks again :) [23:58] then a lot of files means 3584 bytes per file difference [23:59] hello/hola [23:59] haz3lnut, just for the files smaller them 4096 right? [23:59] welcome [23:59] help take care [23:59] X-warrior: fdisk doesn't understand filesystems, it only knows what it sees in the partition table. mkfs doesn't modify the partition table. [23:59] sorry but I speak spanish and need help [23:59] enjoy your stay in #ubuntu
