[00:01] mrfunk: tcpdump [00:01] quebre: okay, im going to try that out, is it in real time? [00:02] mrfunk: yeah, use -n switch, probably you want to specify port range [00:02] mrfunk: coz if you download something it will be huge [00:02] ;d [00:03] mrfunk: tcpdump -n udp port 6000-7000 and tcp port 6000-7000 [00:03] should do the trick [00:03] quebre: haha okay, im with transmission open so im sure it would be [00:04] mrfunk: does that game require monthly paid subscription ??

[02:39] orionsonofneptun, well I like the STA driver much better cause it installs and works correctly [02:40] haz3lnut, youre right lol [02:44] derp [02:45] hola all > hi ya bazhang > just wanted to say sorry personally to ya > I was being a jerk that nite :) === orion is now known as Guest50286 === Guest50286 is now known as orionsonofneptun [02:49] ok [02:49] is anyone else tired of all the different IM clients ? [02:49] why cant one just work and stay working [02:50] goddard: not really. i use Pidgin, have for years, and always will unless something better comes along [02:50] is there any problem when building packages from within ntfs partitions? [02:50] Pikkachu: YES. Lack of unix permissions. [02:52] anyone know of a good non distro specific linux testing and tweaking irc channel? [02:52] for more advanced users who tweak and pilliage their machines [02:52] monkey wrench linux hack irc support channel [02:52] gartral: so if I chmod 777 a file supposed to be in /etc that's how it's going to be? are you guessing or you have a link to proof? [02:52] ? [02:55] <18WAAEQ73> join #linuxmint-fr [02:57] Pikkachu: I know from experience that NTFS will flatten any permission flags you have set. because it doesn't understand them. if you want me too dig up proof.. i suppose i could google it.. but then agin, so could you. [02:59] Pikkachu, ntfs doesnt support all the option needed to build packages, no symlinks no a/c/mtimes [02:59] Question - with rsync, the man page says there is a -x flag citing "do not leave file system." I've had a lot of rsync issues with .gvfs, where I have to --exclude=.gvfs, otherwise it'll copy .gvfs which is some weird crazy strange cached copy of my destination, so of course it only duplicates unnecesary data. Is the -x flag the same as excluding .gvfs in a way? === genupulas is now known as raju [03:03] evening === Pikkachu is now known as PikkachuAway === PikkachuAway is now known as Pikkachu [03:05] goddard, yea, i just gave up. installed vbox with xp and run messanger in seamless mode ... :(((( [03:06] gartral: you assume I don't know about how permissions are handled in ntfs and escapes form the original question, I'm sorry but you're wrong and helpless [03:07] pfifo: so there are standard/metafile-configurable permissions for deb packages, the build will simply use whatever the original files use? [03:08] pfifo: anyway thanks for remembering me of symlinks, it doesn't really make sense... [03:08] so boring, I wanted to keep stuff in ntfs [03:09] Pikkachu: Instead of insulting me, why don't you point me too *your* information? [03:09] pfifo: symlinks are working in ntfs [03:10] gartral: right after you stop trying sound smart answering unasked questions [03:10] gartral: you gave the right info, I'd just drop it... waste of your time ;) [03:11] Are there any good apps or ways of controlling power settings more efficiently than the defaults in 11.10? Not only is there too little available but when I manually lower the brightness with the fn keys, it just goes back up after any time of dimming [03:11] Question - with rsync, the man page says there is a -x flag citing "do not leave file system." I've had a lot of rsync issues with .gvfs, where I have to --exclude=.gvfs, otherwise it'll copy .gvfs which is some weird crazy strange cached copy of my destination, so of course it only duplicates unnecesary data. Is the -x flag the same as excluding .gvfs in a way? [03:11] zykotick9: as an outside observer too the conversation, did you see me "talking to myself" as Pikkachu says i did? [03:12] gartral: i don't want to get in the middle ;) but, i stand by the "you gave the right info", the receiver just wasn't ready to accept it [03:12] zykotick9: Understood, thank you. [03:13] Pikkachu: You appear to be instigating trouble that's uncalled for here.. I'm /ignoring you [03:13] Pikkachu, only hardlinks iirc, and autotools systems uses things like mtime and symlinks and fifos during its build process, and that process is part of building a deb package [03:13] zykotick9: heh [03:14] bob: how to do X? john: you do Y by Z zykotick9: cool, john [03:14] pfifo: man it's working [03:14] Has anyone used the program called Nitrogen, to set backgrounds? How do I find out which version I have installed ? [03:14] pfifo: cd /media/Dados (the ntfs partition) [03:15] Pikkachu, please behave, [03:15] pfifo: ln -s /media test [03:15] Could anyone tell me if I will be able to use gnome shell if I choose Unity as my GUI? [03:15] Ashtray777: You can switch to gnome-shell upon login. [03:15] oh ok ty. [03:15] pfifo: it works just fine === jack is now known as Guest48601 [03:16] Ashtray777: You're welcome. [03:16] Pikkachu, cool story bro [03:16] pfifo: true one [03:17] will the latest release of Ubuntu support new wacom tablet models ? [03:19] rawfodog, no, but if you send it to me Ill write a driver for it :D [03:19] rawfodog: afaik unless the new tablet has some strange new hardware, the current drivers *Should* work [03:19] they dont gartral, I just bought the connect today, plugged it in, and nothing ;_; [03:20] satynash, open nitrogen with terminal and version should display before the program loads. [03:20] Am I safe to upgrade to virtualbox from virtualbox-4.0 without losing settings. [03:20] rawfodog, do you have the one with the built in LCD? [03:20] no, it is the BAMBOO CTL-470 pfifo [03:21] rawfodog, have you ever used a tablet in linux before? [03:21] rawfodog: have you looked into upgrading too a newer driver than what's shipped with ubuntu? [03:22] gardar, this is the only tutorial to do so, and it's INCREDIBLY difficult to follow. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515562 [03:22] satyanash: did you install it with U.S.C. or apt-get? if so you can use "apt-cache policy nitrogen" or "dpkg -l | grep nitrogen" from terminal to find version [03:22] * gardar slaps rawfodog [03:22] ok how to get lm sensors [03:23] !sensors | orionsonofneptun [03:23] orionsonofneptun: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package.

[03:24] yes gartral [03:24] zykotick9, aah... Thanks. [03:24] Question - with rsync, the man page says there is a -x flag citing "do not leave file system." I've had a lot of rsync issues with .gvfs, where I have to --exclude=.gvfs, otherwise it'll copy .gvfs which is some weird crazy strange cached copy of my destination, so of course it only duplicates unnecesary data. Is the -x flag the same as excluding .gvfs in a way? [03:24] zykotick9, though I don't get the point of lm-sensors [03:24] so I accidentally uninstalled python via "sudo apt-get remove python" [03:24] whats the command [03:25] orionsonofneptun: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [03:25] All was fine for a while until the next login [03:25] sudo apt-get lm-sensors??? [03:25] unity was gone, not I got it back [03:25] but the gui seems slightly off [03:26] roasted: you'd have to test/check, but i doubt rsync will see .gvfs as a separate filesystem... so --exclude is "probably" still needed [03:26] rawfodog, there should be a wacom drive available from PPA since that thread has been around sine jun 2010, have you searched launchpad? [03:26] orionsonofneptun: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [03:26] the terminal emulator byobu does not allow for right clicks [03:26] pfifo, I don' [03:26] ok how to check temp [03:26] zykotick9: yeah, I know testing it would be the way to go. Considering the hour of the night, I'm stuck to Googling around for now. Nonetheless, I'm seeing that -x actually might ignore .gvfs... not quite positive though. [03:26] omg.... mabad yo [03:26] wat? [03:27] t know much about launch pad. what would I be looking for ? isnt launch pad for bugs ? pfifo [03:27] !PPA | rawfodog [03:27] rawfodog: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [03:27] roasted: it could! i'm certainly only guessing. [03:27] wubino: byobu isn't a terminal emulator, it's a wrapper to screen. Why would it need right clicks? [03:28] pfifo, I'm not an advanced ubuntu user, I do not know which ppas will be useful for me. [03:28] zykotick9, thanks for the clarification but normally I can configure text size via menues [03:28] not anymore [03:28] wubino: ahhh in xterm yes [03:28] menus [03:29] command to check lm-sensor temp????? [03:29] bash commands are no problem but the normal gui functionality is gone [03:29] wubino: how are you starting byobu? use alt+f2 type xterm, then try starting byobu and see if you have rightclick [03:30] rawfodog, im not sure either but let me take a look [03:30] ?????? [03:30] orionsonofneptun: "sensors" [03:30] rawfodog, this looks hopeful https://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/wacom [03:31] zykotick9, nothing [03:31] wubino: if you just start xterm can you right click?

[03:32] I can right click in other programs with or without xterm [03:32] rawfodog, well its time to sit down and learn how PPA's work :) [03:32] wubino: so it's a byobu issue then. sorry i can't help, i use the real thing instead - good luck. [03:32] Unity 2d and Unity 3d are not options are login -- just "ubuntu" [03:33] rawfodog, if you have specific questins were right behind you [03:33] I think this is a gnome, kde , unity problem [03:33] wubino: highlight with mouse and ctrl-shft-c to copy, or ctrl-shft-v to paste in term. [03:34] I already did the unity --restore thing [03:34] T_H_X, like I said normal bash use is fine [03:34] pfifo, I added the ppa, and I went to update packages, ubuntu says its up to date [03:34] the gui elements in ubuntu 11.10 are now just slightly off from where I started [03:35] isnt there something like aptitude or dpkg or apt-get a package manager that has the power to remove a package while ignoring dependency errors? [03:35] rawfodog, did you run `sudo apt-get update` [03:35] hoshi411: that would make no sense... [03:35] hey, can you not use quotations in Tomboy notes? [03:36] pfifo, yes, still says no updates === daz_ is now known as Guest7768 [03:36] nvm, looks like i just found out my keyboard is focked [03:36] ;;;//..//// [03:36] rawfodog, how exactly did you add the ppa? [03:37] synaptic pfifo [03:39] !addppa | rawfodog adding with synaptic probably doesn't add the required key [03:39] rawfodog adding with synaptic probably doesn't add the required key: Since Ubuntu 9.10, a !ppa can be added using a single command « sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name » See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs for more details [03:39] rawfodog, run this `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:irie/wacom` then this `sudo apt-get update` then this `sudo apt-get upgrade` then this `sudo apt-get install input-wacom wacom-source xf86-input-wacom` [03:40] pfifo, "Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/irie-wacom-oneiric.list [03:40] " [03:41] rawfodog, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/irie-wacom-oneiric.list file then === boss is now known as Guest94629 === haz3lnut is now known as haz3lnut_zzz [03:43] pfifo, there was a ain at the end of the file, I just deleted it [03:43] pfifo, i get a lot of errors , "Unable to locate package input-wacom [03:43] rawfodog: was it on it's own line? i'd guess it was suppose to be "main" [03:43] " [03:43] Anyone familiar with fsck, I got a message, "There are differences between boot sector and its backup.", what do the options mean?

[03:44] rawfodog, :) also int the descript it says to `sudo apt-get install wacom-dkms xserver-xorg-input-wacom` [03:44] rawfodog: no just leave it for now, but it might be missing something [03:45] zykotick9: so there isnt a way to do this? it only makes sense if you are experimenting and learning... picking things apart and tweaking stuff [03:45] im not asking for troubleshooting advice or anything like that [03:45] Hi, Someone of you have Asus G53SX' s laptop? [03:45] hoshi411, investigate `dpkg --force-all` [03:46] ok guys im trying to get minicom but i get error in terminal [03:46] hoshi411: perhaps you aren't clear what a dependency is? gnu/linux is a bunch of little pieces, and some rely on others to work - you're trying to break that? [03:46] http://pastebin.com/ZyLfNRbt pfifo zykotick9 [03:46] what is the way to get it [03:46] ubuntu 11.10 [03:46] im asking hypothetically: is there a package manager that can ignore everything and delete the packages you request it to delete? that's all. there either is one or there is nt one [03:46] rawfodog, You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [03:46] hi [03:46] zykotick9: yes hypothetically I would want to break that [03:47] just hypothetically asking if this is possible [03:47] no need to get all worked up about this [03:47] hoshi411: why would anyone make such a thing? no package manager will intentionally break dependencies... doesn't make ANY sense, so why would it? [03:47] does this exist or not ... simple [03:47] hoshi411, yes [03:47] pfifo, http://pastebin.com/qhKrXEeL [03:47] a *package manager* won't do it for you, but you can do it yourself. [03:47] zykotick9: pfifo seems to say this exists [03:47] dpkg -r --force-all package [03:48] if you really really want to break your system, yes, you can just run dpkg manually. [03:48] pfifo: and James78 thank you very much : ) [03:48] Warning: Risks involved. In can break your system. [03:48] babble: yes hypothetically I would want to break my machine or it was already broken [03:48] but hypothetically this is a machine for experimentation anyways [03:48] again, what you want isn't really the purpose of a package manager. [03:49] babble: I see , yes that would make sense : ) [03:49] if you want to break your system, you can, but you aren't going to find a sane package manager that will do it for you [03:49] rawfodog, im not sure, whats going wrong search in the software center for wacom related stuff, perhaps is named something different [03:50] why does my internet connection slow down/disconnect when my laptop is not connected? =/ [03:50] hoshi411: Running dpkg like that can be very useful when you need to completely remove (purge) a package, and install it again, but ignoring all the dependencies it tries to force you to remove. :) [03:50] babble: ok so my use of the word package manager was not ... or my question was not worded correclty but thank you [03:51] hoshi411: I'm not trying to play word police -- just trying to get at what it is you actually want to do [03:51] pfifo, nothing. [03:51] pfifo, thanks anyway [03:52] why does my internet connection slow down/disconnect when my laptop is not connected? =/ [03:52] one time i install libc from a redhat 9 rpm using apt2rpm and dpkg, my system made it 10 minutes until complete meltdown [03:52] babble: but im not looking for support... it was just a hypothetical question.... i just want to hypothetically delete a package without having any error tell me I shouldnt [03:52] is there anyway to get xrandr to use my onboard gpu and ati card? ati native driver doesnt support my ati card so im stuck with open source driver? [03:52] ... [03:52] Kyoko-chan: that doesn't make any sense unless you're trying to get to the internet from the laptop that is "disconnected" [03:52] if there were a time when I would want to do that, then I would want to know how [03:54] well, yes, perhaps I didn't use the right words [03:54] it just amazes me how linux which is a OS built around the principal of having access to eveyrthing in the system for experiment and learning reasons , why some people would get so worked up about experimentation and learning... breaking for the sake of breaking.. breaking for the sake of fixing. opening what you shouldnt and pulling and rearranging. this is what linux is for [03:54] specially if i have a box designated for this activity [03:55] Virtual Machine. :) [03:55] when it's plugged to the charger I don't have any problems, but when I unplug it its connection slows down a lot, or it even disconnects for a while [03:55] hoshi411: sure, but I just wanted to make sure you understood the implications of that, and to get *why* no real package manager is going to break your system for you. [03:56] Kyoko-chan: sounds like a power saving mechanism that's kicking in.. not really sure what to do about that.. [03:56] hoshi411: If you're not using a Virtual Machine, you might want to look into one. Specifically VirtualBox. It'll make your life MUCH more simple. [03:56] yeah, that's what I've been told x_x [03:56] someone said it was related to the kernel [03:56] but I know nothing about configuring the kernel [03:56] this might be a silly question, but Virtualbox is similar to what a VNC client does, no? [03:56] Kyoko-chan: have you checked the forums for you laptop and network connectivity? ubuntuforums.org [03:57] wired_: no.. [03:57] not really, I'll try xD [03:57] wired_: no. VNC is remote access. VBox is virtualization [03:57] i see. thanks. [03:57] VirtualBox lets you have a guest OS within your OS [03:58] hoshi411: well, the point is that all you're going to get with a broken dependency is either an app that won't launch or a desktop environment that won't load. [03:58] I mean, sure, you can *do* that, but it's a bit like ripping the wings off of a moth, just to make sure it can't fly once you do [03:59] Anyone familiar with fsck, I got a message, "There are differences between boot sector and its backup.", what do the options mean? "1) Copy original to backup 2) Copy backup to original" [03:59] if it entertains you, by all means, break your system all day long [03:59] but it won't (it seems) give you much in the way of useful information beyond, "yep.

There is no X. [04:40] since you dont have a display you probably have to enable it yourself with the correct settings which may or may not be difficult [04:40] Yes... that's my issue. [04:40] ive never ran into this issue but at least you know a possible work around now [04:41] I don't have any work arounds [04:41] Neither the laptop screen nor the monitor come on. [04:41] dead-laptop im assuming its a laptop that dont work ??? just to clarify [04:41] and a live cd doesn't help? [04:41] Laptop is working, the monitor isn't [04:41] hi [04:41] the laptop monitor??? [04:41] help me [04:41] Yeah [04:41] ok [04:42] James78: it appears that even dpkg -r --force-all will not remove packages sometimes. "dpkg unrecoverable error aborting" why would it abort removing something when I forced it to do so O_o if I want to destroy my system , shouldnt I be allowed to? "libreoffice-writer is missing final newline" it tells me... so what? just delete it ..... O_o [04:42] plz help me [04:42] hi mrono [04:42] I'm having issues with upstart, anyone know how to make an upstart job [04:42] I put in a .conf file and it's not recognizing it [04:43] plz help me [04:43] dead-laptop ive got a rookie fix for you get a new mb lol [04:43] hoshi411: what you want to do doesn't really make any sense, which is why there are safeguards against it. [04:43] if you really really want to nuke something you know is going to break your system, sudo and rm it [04:43] but again, why? just because you can? [04:44] how can i connect my laptop to bluetooth [04:44] I mean, fine, go ahead, but beyond affirming to yourself that it's within your power to break your system, I fail to see what this accomplishes. [04:44] hi orphan [04:45] my bluetooth is not working on my laptop [04:45] i m using lenove y410 in ubuntu 11.10 [04:46] hoshi411: I think this has to do with broken dependencies (which would happen after force removing too many packages). I've only ever used dpkg --force-all in order to do some package manipulations I couldn't do otherwise, thus saving me from it killing my system (remove and reinstall a package without getting rid of dependencies). [04:47] or, that - I hadn't thought about that. [04:47] so, huzzah, hoshi411, you've very likely accomplished your goal. [04:49] hi babble [04:50] Hi all. I have two offices in the same building, just different floors. I would be very happy if I could somehow access the pc in my other office. It's would save me a lot of travel time. How can I do this? [04:51] I've tried 'Desktop' sharing but I see no indicators or have any idea how to use this. Is it the right program? [04:51] go to hell [04:52] Pirsch: I'm not certain of what is the easiest way to go about this. [04:52] Pirsch: by what manner do each system connect to the internet? are they on the same local network? [04:53] To be honest, I am not sure but when I brought one pc down from upstairs it connected to the net without changing any settings. [04:54] There's also a program called 'Remote Desktop Sharing'. Might that work? [04:54] Pirsch: from that I assume it's using ethernet so try ifconfig on each to identify what your ip address is on each and see if you can ping between each [04:54] In Terminal? [04:55] Pirsch: yes term [04:56] It is ethernet (eth0). But what should I be looking for? [04:56] Pirsch: if they ping then you can ssh into and share files or many other methods of exchange [04:56] i beleave thier is a way to send it threw vga cable into mb somehow i need to study it more this is tough ubuntu install [04:57] persh inet addr:192.168.2.250 ; the inet address as this is an example [04:57] My IT guy is Windows-conditioned and somewhat unfamiliar with Linux. Should he be able to figure this out if I show him ifconfig? [04:57] I know very little about net and connections. [04:58] brb [04:58] Pirsch: in windows world they use the command ipconfig ; I assume both systems are ubuntu as you didn't state other [04:58] Yes, both are 11.10 [04:59] So he should be able to figure this out then [04:59] brb [05:03] hello === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:13] damn I'm silly...I have tar.gz.001, .tar.gz.002 etc. archives [05:13] how do I unpack them?

[05:26] i am able to ssh for a few hours.. than when i come back to it.. it wont let me ssh.. it times out [05:26] any ideas? [05:27] same thing for httpd, port 80.. it times out.. but i can still telnet [05:27] its almost like the computer is going in to some kind of sleep mode or something? [05:28] esuave: maybe your running dhcp and your ip changes over time [05:29] no cause i can still ping/telnet on those ports [05:29] so the IP is staying the same [05:29] so basically for me to get it to work again i have to reboot the server [05:30] * cruzin_cruzing slaps ZsoL around a bit with a large trout [05:31] esuave: how can you run two services on the same port 22? === eddie is now known as Guest87947 [05:32] no i can telnet on port 80 and port 22 === Guest87947 is now known as eddie_ [05:32] but i cannot ssh to the box.. nor is httpd running [05:32] its almost like the computer has gone in to some kind of sleep mode? [05:32] Are SATA drives hot pluggable in Ubuntu 10.04LTS? Can I connect one after the system has started? [05:33] esuave: I guess look localy at the logs and see what activity it might be [05:33] Hi, is there a way to retrieve data from a drive that is formatted with Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) 1.0.7 or is this a waste of time [05:35] Will installing by Wubi have any effect on performance/installation negatively? === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [05:39] jguzikowski, runs slightly slower and is a file in windows rather the a install to a partition. [05:39] paulus68: I have to assume it is designed for non recoverable so not very lickly [05:40] Is it worth it to just try to install via USB/CD? [05:40] sacarlson: ok thx [05:41] jguzikowski, That is a personal decision really. [05:42] I need help with an issue with printer HP LasetJet Professional M1132 MFP. I know it is software-related because I can make photocopies with the multifunctional printer and I can print one print job after restarting both Ubuntu and the printer. Also, I can print from Adobe Flash (for example, I printed sample pages from a book by Oxford University Press) and the Ubuntu test page comes out well, too. I know the printer is supported by the HPLIP driver. I ju [05:42] st need some know-how with the scheduler or something. After a restart, the printer will only print one print job and then it will not print anymore. Here is the output of the HP diagnostic tool: http://paste.ubuntu.com/889592/ Any help will be highly appreciated. [05:42] True, just don't have a flash drive or a CD burner anymore so I thought I'd just stick with Wubi But I don't want to deal with performance issues if that's the case :) [05:43] jguzikowski, if your running windows being without a way to boot a recovery disc is not safe, as well as it backed up. [05:44] dj_segfault: i always had to reboot to connect my eSATA drive :| hot swap SATA depends on your mothboard's sata controller, some will work others wont [05:45] Ah. Thanks. I have a problem adding one more sata drive to my system and I wanted to see if it was a power problem by plugging in the new drive after boot, when everything is taking less power. I guess I won't try it then. [05:47] I've got everything backed up on Dropbox and am quick to format :P [05:48] is there a good tutorial about ssh to work with keyfiles and which can be safely tested remotely(meaning I can only connect remotely to my server using putty) and make sure that I don't log myself out :p [05:48] Anyway thanks for the help all, have a good night [05:51] I've been trying to run a few games in wine, both said to work perfectly wih it [05:51] none of them launch.

[05:59] why would you want to burn nightly cd's? that would be 365 cd's with minimal changes in reality [06:00] well... because i'm sitting at a terminal and x failed to load [06:01] oh so you just mean to burn 1 nightly cd meaning tonights correct?

[06:18] hydrox24: because, for the life of me, I cant get it to do replace() in filters [06:19] It sees the traffic, runs the filter, even runs the replace function, but the new packet never makes it to the net [06:19] ghost0xff: sorry, I am not that advanced with ettercap, only really at the script-kiddy level with things to do with ettercap... === Roman is now known as Guest45126 [06:19] ghost0xff: maybe turn on ip forwarding in the system?

[06:29] drounse: you said you had to 'switch nic pci adapter', does that mean you were using another PCI NIC card to connect? [06:29] i used a gigabit adapter before and took it out and put in a different one [06:29] Braden`: you still there? [06:30] Braden`: I would recommend typing fdisk -l as root and seeing what comes up with the boot column flagged (with a "*") === znull is now known as _znull [06:31] olli: having issues with suspend/resume is common in linux, you'll need to look into the issue as something specific to you computer and even BIOS version.

[06:56] Cache_Money well on mine, it's SDA. Take a look at system>administration>disk utility to find your hdd's name [06:57] Cache_Money: your drive, /dev/sda for first drive of the disk, /dev/sdb for second one [06:57] Flannel, I want to use GUI to do the dist upgrade. I am completely up to date besides that. [06:57] infam0us: have you looked at the nvidia setting specifically yet? [06:57] Jon--: That's fine. That command won't move you from 11.04 to 11.10, it's just an easy way for me to check on a few things that might be causing issues. [06:57] Flannel, will do. [06:57] Jon--: If you're up to date, it won't take more than a couple seconds, etc, etc. [06:58] I understand :P [06:58] When using SSH forwarding, what is the proper value to set $DISPLAY to on the host machine?

I should clean them at some point ^_^ [07:02] Flannel, I know you might be in the middle of something but I'd like to get the dist upgrade rolling so I can go to sleep... apt-get install didn't prompt me to do one, lsb_release -a report 11.04. [07:05] Jon--: You certainly have a bunch of PPAs and other sources making this long :) I don't see any reason you wouldn't be updating.

[07:07] paulus68, As long as sshd isn't set to only allow keyed access (allow a password fallback), you won't lock yourself out. I don't know a tutorial though, no [07:08] Jon--: how do you create this password fallback feature do you know? [07:09] CFHowlett_: Here's a screen shot of my disk utility imagebin.org/204162 I think possibly something went wrong during the partitioning process [07:09] Anyone awake currently framiliar with Joomla2.5? [07:09] I was wanting to connect to a wireless network with command line, witht he password and everything [07:09] Jon--: Yeah, that's the right version. Lets try forcing it... in a gnome-terminal (or whatever), gksudo update-manager -c --dist-upgrade [07:09] -c tells it to explicitly check for new versions, the latter will also try to make that happen. [07:09] Cache_Money do you have more than 1 hard drive attached to this computer? [07:10] when i do swapon -a i get this error: swapon: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: stat failed: No such file or directory ....... whats going on? [07:10] paulus68, I think as long as sshd_config has PasswordAuthentication yes you should be fine. [07:10] Jon--: ok [07:10] I have one hard drive, 1TB, during the Ubuntu install I chose to have 512gb for Ubuntu and the rest for Windows (~465gb) [07:11] paulus68, create your key files ssh-keygen -t rsa [07:11] Flannel, You needed to quote that argument to gksudo, thought the c flag was for it :P [07:11] Flannel, It's running now [07:11] paulus68, export it to your server ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server [07:11] Jon--: eh, yeah, you do. Wonder why you had to do that though. [07:12] Flannel, Your sys is up to date... [07:12] Cache_Money what happened when you tried to install grub to /dev/sda ?? [07:12] Flannel, To show you I am not crazy http://pastebin.com/TxEUMFyx [07:13] CFHowlett_: I haven't tried it yet because I was trying to determine which /dev/xxx to install to. Should I just do $ sudo grub-install /dev/sda ?? [07:13] Jon--: Oh bother. Ok... Lets check.... check the contents of /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades (text file), most of it is comments, what does the one line say? [07:13] Jon--: No, you already showed that to me with the apt-get :) (That's one reason I ask!) [07:13] bluefrog: brb [07:13] Flannel, jon@jonnixbox:~$ cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | grep -v '#' -> [DEFAULT] Prompt=normal [07:14] Looks like std config [07:14] Cache_Money that would be my solution - of course i have a simpler arrangement than yours. Go for it. If it works, cool, If not,you'll still have all your data, you'll just need to fumble a bit with grub's configuration to get ti bootin correctly [07:15] Jon--: Yeah, I have no idea. Just for yucks, lets give update-manager-core a try. `sudo update-manager-core` It'll prompt you a few times before doing any upgrades, so you can cancel it if you don't want to upgrade via command line. [07:15] CFHowlett_: after running the above command it said "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)." [07:15] Flannel, Is there any added benefit to GUI? I feel like it's a more safe/streamlined process, but maybe I'm just being deceived by fancy gfx ;). [07:16] !grub>cache-money [07:16] hello, I'm lucid and I'd like to have some of the latest libraries that are available only to the newest version of ubuntu.I ca download them as a packages.Is there a way to add repository or something that will give me the option to see them in package manager? [07:16] Flannel, update-manager-core: command not found [07:16] Cache_Money follow the tutorial for reinstalling grub after windows. [07:17] monser sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should capture all the packages currently in the stream [07:17] Jon--: update-manager-core does the same things as regular update-manager... why don't you have it. [07:17] bluefrog: back little question since this should be for a backup user do I need to enter a pass or not? [07:17] Wait, wait wait. [07:17] Flannel, I haven't manually removed any of the software center/update packages. I don't know. [07:18] Flannel, apt says it is installed, but it's not on path. You sure you call it with update-manager-core ? [07:18] Jon--: Oh, right. I'm being an idiot. do-release-upgrade [07:18] Thank you.. :P [07:18] paulus68, depends if you want to use a paasword/passphrase [07:18] are gtk 3 themes backward compatible with gtk 2 ? [07:19] bluefrog: the purpose of this excercise is to gain access to the server in order to allow the remote pc to store the backup to with rsnapshot [07:20] paulus68, well it doesn't tell me if you want to use a password or not [07:20] mi3: I don't believe so [07:20] Flannel, Will this prompt before actually doing the dist upgrade? [07:20] Jon--: It should ask you a variety of thigns, yes. [07:20] ok, thanks hydrox24. [07:20] Flannel, Failed to read mirror file... This a serious issue? [07:20] Jon--: Official upgrade notes say you need the -d flag (to either update-manager or do-release-upgrade) but... you really shouldn't at this point in the game (at least, not if -d still means what it used to mean/manpage says it means) [07:21] bluefrog: I prefer with password want to make sure that I don't have to enter my password each time rsnapshot changes a directory for example [07:21] Flannel, http://pastebin.com/kJRjyVyL [07:21] paulus68, you say the opposite in the same sentence. assume it's without so don't enter anything when asked for a passphrase/password [07:22] bluefrog: ok [07:23] Flannel, Also getting a shit-ton of Err on PPAs... Is this because of third party natty PPAs? [07:23] Screw it, doing the upgrade anyway. If my laptop bricks you'll be hearing from me soon ;). [07:24] Jon--: PPAs don't upgrade well, so they should all be disabled (automatically), failed to read mirror is just a warning, and probably related. [07:25] Yeah, I noticed it was just a warn, but I wasn't sure what it meant. [07:25] Jon--: Shouldn't cause any bricks, unless you're using a PPA for some sort of core system functionality (which you shouldn't be doing) [07:25] One last ?, what's the package to get Gnome classic in one package on 11.10 again? I know it was all nicely rolled into one package [07:25] !notunity | Jon-- [07:26] Jon--: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [07:26] I have backports and getdeb, but neither should have core sys functionality packages :P [07:26] I don't know unity, so that factoid is all I know, someone else can help if you have questions though, I'm sure. [07:26] What happens when I delete a partition? [07:26] Seems like all you have to do is install gnome-panel and it'll give you the fallback mode. [07:26] Thnx. [07:26] Jon--: That's what that factoid seems to say, yes :) [07:27] !details | Cache_Money [07:27] Cache_Money: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:27] If someone could help me with this problem it would be great. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 from a CD on Windows 7(I had to use nomodeset) When I boot up using Ubuntu(again having to use nomodeset) I get a console that stops at "checking battery" I've left it like that overnight with no change. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. [07:28] Flannel, In return for your niceness, I'll do some support in here for a bit, then sleepy times :D [07:28] I'm having trouble reinstalling GRUB. I'm wondering if I can delete what's on a partition and just reinstall Ubuntu on it again [07:28] hi [07:29] Cache_Money NOT the way to do it - why delete? just reinstall, select the partition and format it. [07:29] Cache_Money, Did you try to do a grub-install /dev/sda ? [07:29] irish_ greetings [07:29] Jon-- Yes, and I couldn't get it to work. [07:29] how to have latest libraries on lucid? [07:30] I want libsqlite>3.0 [07:30] Cache_Money: What problem are you having specifically when trying to re-install grub? What guide are you following? [07:30] there are only libsqlite3.0 in lucid repo [07:30] Cache_Money, Then you should reinstall from the media (CD/DVD/USB) and select the existing partition and format it as necessary [07:30] bluefrog: getting the error no identities found? [07:31] Cache_Money, Though you may not need to be this extreme, please note that you will lose all data and configuration on the drive. It may be better to troubleshoot through it then to reinstall. [07:31] Can anyone help me with a problem I've been having? [07:31] monser, You will need to find a third party PPA containing it.

I'm somewhat amazed that such a basic mistake was made in such a prominant guide. [07:33] If I uninstall them add libsqlite and libsqlite-dev from packages, would that work? [07:33] Jon- - I don't have any data to lose because I just installed Ubuntu. I'm just having trouble loading the OS when rebooting. It jumps straight into Windows [07:33] Jordan_U What do you suggest I do? [07:33] Is a dev-library used for compiling? [07:34] what are the differencs between library and library-dev? [07:34] monser, You shouldn't need to uninstall anything you currently have. Find a ppa for lucid containing the version of sqlite you want, add it, then do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. The more recent v. should be installed. See ubottu's note about the dangerous of PPA's... (they're relatively safe) [07:34] Cache_Money: Follow this guide instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [07:34] paulus68, pastebin all the commands you issued and their results, please. ll as well the permissions of your remote user .ssh/ files [07:35] Jordan_U Thanks the resource.

[09:04] Meteorskies: There isn't anything that Ubuntu can do to prevent Windows from accessing a drive, and just because a drive is not accessible in your BIOS does *not* neccessarily mean that it won't be accessible in Windows. It's likely that the same problem is preventing both from accessing the drive though. What that problem could be however I don't know. You might try asking in ##windows.

[09:49] mr_ubuntu_12 in terminal you can do "locate *.exe" to find all files ending in .exe [09:49] Krissed: what if you try a different icon theme?

[10:04] nothingspecial: So installing xfce4 package will give me DE and xubuntu-desktp shell? [10:05] ibiwor, it will give you xfce, thunar and a few other things without the music player and other alternatives [10:06] ........... [10:06] ActionParsnip what is Precise how to use it? [10:06] is it Precise Pangolin? [10:06] (11.10) Compiz - Windows Placement - Fixed Window Placement - add a new fixed position without keep in workarea checked and the rule comes up as checked.

[10:08] jasonmsp, yeah ok sry [10:08] xfce is not a shell, it is a desktop environment, which is a set of packages that give you a useable operating system with a graphical user interface [10:08] sort of [10:08] Relative window is set at 0, 0 but the absolute has it adjusted to the right for the launcher width. [10:08] trying to stop the gap from being placed. [10:08] jasonmsp, the joy of 11.10 I believe. haven't seen that on12.04 [10:09] so is the 'keep in workarea' check a bug? [10:09] dunno [10:09] whether it is checked or unchecked the rule comes up as checked. [10:10] jasonmsp, i am stock on this manual page if yu dont tell me what to do [10:10] dsenator: read it and learn about linux commands [10:11] hi OCean , is there any tool available for fast search in ubuntu 11.10? [10:11] nothingspecial: Thanks.. apt-cache search lists xfce4 - Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment and xubuntu-desktop - Xubuntu desktop system. So what exactly is a shell? :) [10:11] mr_ubuntu_12: have you tried the locate command in terminal? [10:12] locate needs an updatedb first [10:13] Hmm, FloodBot1 defective.

I have a LOT pointing to localhost :) [10:20] haha thanks [10:21] my problem was that i thought something.something wasn't possible [10:21] i thought only plain words [10:21] hostnames* [10:21] thanks guys [10:21] np [10:21] I get a rewritable dvd , do I need to erase it before I burn something new [10:21] Make sure microsoft.com is in there too. [10:21] Hello [10:22] ouyes: no. [10:22] hehe [10:22] Whitebird: http://paste.ubuntu.com/890433/ stops unnecessary stuff on web pages :) [10:22] I've followed this guide on how to install eclipse http://flurdy.com/docs/eclipse/install.html [10:22] mind = blown [10:22] however I don't get a gnome menu item for eclipse [10:22] got adblock though ^^ [10:22] good for android maybe [10:24] how do I bring up the HUD? I've seen video's and blog, but none mention how I invoke it [10:24] Hi everyone, very urgent problem. I used a wubi installed 11.10 for few months, but had space limitations, so, i used wubi- but in the process, i dont know what happened but lost everything. In windows in C:/ubuntu/disks there is a fuse file with the same size as previous partition, can i recover my data? [10:25] Whitebird: just how I roll [10:25] charmking: use your backups [10:25] ActionParsnip: Where will i find them? [10:26] charmking: wherever you made them, its not an automatic process [10:27] ahhughes_: alt-tab?? [10:27] ActionParsnip: btw i used ActionParsnip wubi-add-virtual-disk for increasing partition size, but now in the ubuntu root, i find home.backup, but its empty, it has a lost+found folder, which i am not able to open [10:27] HUD is in 11.10 yes? [10:27] charmking: you may be able to mount the image in LiveCD. [10:27] @ping [10:27] ahhughes_: no, its precise only [10:28] well that might explain it [10:29] consider how hooked I was on Launchy on windows xp, this is the next evolution :) I look forward to it. [10:29] ubuntu server 11.04... Where can I find out which packages gets installed by default? [10:29] I have a minimal installation that I need to get into a similar shape as a default install [10:29] ahhughes_: its due out soon :) [10:30] cyberdo: if you wanted a desktop OS, why did you install the server OS? [10:30] hi guys, i'm missing my tray icons (pidgin, skype...) on the top bar.... I'm afraid i removed something... How can i get them back ? (Gnome 3 Classic) [10:31] next question is, I have my laptop (ubuntu) and desktop (mythbuntu), how can I mount a directory of the desktop on my laptop? [10:31] ActionParsnip: do not want the desktop. I have a debootstrap installed server that I would like to get into the same shape (same installed packages) as a default server install [10:31] ahhughes_: use samba or sshfs etc [10:31] what choice do I have to make sure that test.sh is run prior to launch a program for which the user clicked on the launcher (besides changing all launchers to Exec=test.sh && program)? [10:32] so samba is not just a windows thing then ActionParsnip ? [10:32] cyberdo: install the ubuntu-desktop [ackage and it wil all come down for you [10:32] ahhughes_: Ubuntu can access samba, it also has smbclient which allows nautilus to easily access samba shares [10:33] i installed gnome-panel to get the GNOME2 fallback, but when i use it, i can't figure out how to customize the panels. rightlicking on a black area of the panels doesn't bring up a menu [10:33] ActionParsnip: great... but is there a similar meta-apckage for servers? [10:33] ActionParsnip, I guess I could use scp out of the box too, but thats a little less "ui friendly" :) [10:33] ok how can i have the identical gnome (2) from ubuntu 10.04 back? [10:33] cyberdo: in what way? [10:33] ahhughes_: why, nautilus can connect to SFTP just fine [10:33] All others are just a (bad) try to become cool like apple's interface [10:34] Krambiorix: there are guides how to tweak it, just because an OS uses global menu doesn't mean its like a Mac === reith2004__ is now known as reith2004 [10:35] ActionParsnip, I picked up about 3 things I need to learn in your 3 pieces of advice :) [10:35] ActionParsnip: afaik, ubuntu-desktop is a package that only depends on a lot of other packages needed to create a basic desktop install. As I said, I want a server install [10:35] ActionParsnip, well, i don't know where they get the idea, but how can they make "windows" users try to start with ubuntu (gnome) with this?? [10:35] !info ubuntu-server [10:35] Package ubuntu-server does not exist in oneiric [10:35] hmm [10:36] ActionParsnip, i guess they wanted to create something "cool" but not user-friendly [10:36] Krambiorix: try xfce or lxde :) [10:36] or kde [10:37] cyberdo: I guess it depends what sort of server you want... [10:37] ActionParsnip, i don't like them... I want Gnome 2 back!! [10:38] Krambiorix: xfce desktop has very much the look and feel of gnome2 [10:38] Krambiorix: gnome2 is dead, you can tweak the current OS to look like Gnome2 [10:38] Krambiorix: as oCean says, xfce is a lot like Gnome2 and will run your gnome apps without issue [10:40] hmmm [10:40] it's a pitty what gnome is doing [10:40] Krambiorix: i think its good, new and innovative [10:41] <[[thufir]]> can't seem to install flash: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1526253 [10:41] Title: Bash Mozilla Pastebin - collaborative debugging tool (at pastebin.mozilla.org) [10:41] ActionParsnip, what are you using it for?

[10:42] /join #backtrack-fr [10:42] Krambiorix: no, just a long time user of Linux [10:42] Krambiorix: ty what gnome is doing [10:42] Krambiorix: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/08/installing-using-classic-gnome-desktop.html [10:42] its the desktop environment [10:42] same with kde, fluxbox, twm, xfce, etc etc [10:43] Rabbit67890: fluxbox isn't technically a DE ;) [10:43] hm [10:43] ActionParsnip: found another server, and just ran dpkg -l | cut -c3-36| tail -n+6 [10:43] i was possibly thinking some other box [10:44] Rabbit67890, ActionParsnip: the left menu = ok, but what about moving the cursor to the upper left...??? Who the hell invented that?! [10:45] Krambiorix: no idea, I just Alt+TAB and Alt+F4 when needed. Mouse is way to slow [10:45] ask the people in #gnome [10:45] hi, i am using kvm in ubuntu, and i want to my virtual machine connect to network with my ip address, how can i do that? [10:45] the devs will know why they moved it [10:45] Hello [10:45] i have a few concerns regarding my web server [10:45] and chmod [10:46] Krambiorix: if you don't like unity. Don't use it. Only one of the four officially supported variants of ubuntu use Unity... [10:46] When I change the port at ports.conf in apache2, I get a "Not Foun" page, and the when the port is 80, the page loads fine [10:46] ActionParsnip, well, if you have 5 firefox windows open and so on, it's not manageable [10:46] ActionParsnip, is there a way to go back to gnome 2 ? [10:47] howdy. Anybody know why even if I did "apt-get remove sendmail" sendmail is still there? I do "service start sendmail" and it still starts ok… [10:47] Whitebird, whats your index folder? [10:47] www normally [10:47] didn't change anything but hosts and port [10:47] where exactly? [10:47] Krambiorix: No. Gnome2 is dead [10:47] yeah [10:48] replaced with the OCD inducing gnome3 (my opinion) [10:48] How do you mean? [10:48] Krambiorix: thats why tabs exist [10:49] Krambiorix: there are guides how to tweak the UI, one is on omgubuntu but their servers are being a bit weird recently... [10:49] Krambiorix: tried gnome-shell? [10:49] oCean, ActionParsnip ok, then back to win XP / Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [10:49] Krambiorix: why do I need to know that? [10:50] FYI [10:50] jubei: sendmail-bin [10:50] Jordan_U: found it thank you [10:50] jubei: You're welcome. [10:50] ActionParsnip, anywhere screenshots of gnome-shell? [10:50] Krambiorix: the internet.. [10:51] k thx [10:51] bye [10:53] hi, i want to assign an ip to my vitual machine, how can i achinve that? [10:53] Anyone here have any idea why I can't connect to a remote (but still on my network) kvm host with virsh (or anything else), when it works fine from the host itself? [10:54] pnunn: can you ping 8.8.8.8 from it? [10:54] chroot: you can set static IPs in network manager etc [10:55] ActionParsnip, yeah, but it is in kvm? [10:55] pnunn: libvirtd not listening on the correct interface, firewalled on that interface etc [10:56] I mean i installed ubuntu in kvm, and i want to access this virtual machine through the internet. [10:56] Hello, i am having a problem [10:56] I cant work out how to get middle click on this laptops touchpad, anyone think this is possible (asus n53) [10:56] I just reinstalled xubuntu and i need to recover my files [10:57] hellp [10:57] i need heelp [10:57] i used a seperate partition for my /home and when i reinstalled it seems to have wiped my files even though i made sure not to select format [10:57] can i find hellp here [10:57] So far no dice for changing the port [10:57] Tho network is functioning fine on the machine to the outside world.. could be listening on the wrong interface though, where is that set? [10:58] chroot: you need to set up a bridge interface [10:58] madoo, what's the problem? [10:58] chroot: the vm's will then get network settings just like real machines. [10:58] pnunn, wow, how to set that bridge interface. [10:59] just configure the host's interface file [10:59] how i can set two owners? [10:59] help recovering my files [10:59] and then configure the virtual machine's network as usaul and then you can access it through the network. [10:59] ? [11:00] i wanna change my ubuntu to kubuntu in tirmnal can eny one till me haw [11:00] madoo: install the package kubuntu-desktop [11:00] haw i can do [11:00] madoo: open the package manager, search for kubuntu-desktop, click install [11:01] icarus: use your backups [11:01] i dont have backups [11:01] chroot: install bridge-utils then look on google, plenty of examples there. [11:01] icarus: why not? [11:01] because i didnt think the partition would be affected [11:01] it never has been before [11:01] icarus: you may find luck with foremost, if the data has been overwritten then it's gone [11:01] ok, pnunn , I will do that. [11:01] thanks [11:01] icarus: get a backup system [11:01] you are no help [11:02] chroot: that bit is easy.. just wish I could talk to it.. lol.

[11:22] heeeelllp [11:22] Tyrope -- I have no idea about it, but is there anything in system settings that lets you control a setting like that? [11:22] madoo: with? [11:22] eSoul: not in user accounts. [11:23] Tyrope: Damn [11:23] if you are using gdm, you can put something in the gdm config file to exclude users. I can't remember exactly what though, but google for "gdm exclude" should find it (I'm pretty sure exclude was the keyword) [11:23] Pumpkin-: on it, thank you.

[11:26] madoo: whell u have to install it... [11:26] any other ideas? [11:26] Tyrope: you probably need to edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and add a line saying greeter-hide-users=true if you want to hide the user list completely [11:27] derebel is your iptables set up to allow ping ? [11:27] <3 [11:27] quiescens: I want to have the 1 account I use to login locally to appear though [11:27] Tyrope: otherwise try looking at /usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf or something for documentation [11:27] madoo: sudo apt-get install kubuntu [11:27] does anyone know how you save your touchpad and light setting in lubuntu? [11:28] Krissed, icmp is explicitly allowed for ipv6 and ipv4 on the gateway [11:28] Hello folks, please I need to install sun jre6 and jdk6. I got a little bit confused, I used to install it from a binary or a repo I don't remember, any useful link please? thx for help [11:28] derebel hmm odd. youve checked logs and such ? [11:28] Neo31: sun don't own java now, it's oracle [11:28] Neo31 id recommend from repo [11:28] oh i did it off terminal @ neo [11:28] how to find out if hdd is connected at sata 1, 2 or 3 speed [11:29] ? [11:29] Neo31: if you can give the output of: uname -m I can advise [11:29] have the package name changes ActionParsnip [11:29] chris_: look into hdparm [11:29] Tyrope: it looks like you can hide users in /etc/lightdm/users.conf if that is sufficient [11:29] Krissed, tail /var/log/kern.log on the gateway (debian) gives me a few icmpv6_send: no reply to icmp error [11:29] Neo31: no, its just not packaged anymore due to the new license [11:30] ActionParsnip is that the reason why people cant get the java updated automaticly anymore ? [11:30] i686 ActionParsnip [11:30] quiescens: It would be a solution, but I'd rather show just 1 user. let's call it plan B. ;) [11:30] derebel hmm i cant think of any reason why it wouldnt work just now. [11:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [11:30] hi [11:30] that should get you started [11:31] Krissed: how could i install oracle jre and jdk from repo. any link please ?

[11:31] neeo i just put one [11:31] neo even [11:31] you can follw the instruction for java nad just type in to terminal [11:31] Neo31 well i forgot that there are some problems with java now.. ive read a guide which is just a bunch of text you paste into terminal and it uninstalls the old java and installs new [11:31] Neo31: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/install32bitJava; chmod +x ./install32bitjava; sudo ./install32bitjava [11:32] i didn't have any probs [11:32] on 32 bit [11:32] it works fine [11:32] Neo31 try this: http://pastebin.com/pZpt37qc [11:32] does anyone know how to save keyboard and mouse setting on lubuntu? i keep having to redo on login [11:33] does anyone know how to save keyboard and mouse setting on lubuntu? i keep having to redo on login [11:33] !hi [11:33] fluxmagnet: we saw your question the first time. [11:33] oh actually back light is completely not changing now [11:33] fluxmagnet: perhaps an option could be cron's @reboot ? [11:33] cler [11:34] tyrope i don't know what you mean? i'm a bit of a noob with linux [11:34] I see. [11:35] Well, i'm not that experienced either. [11:35] I just know that cron can do stuff automatically on system startup. [11:35] thanks ActionParsnip and Krissed , i'll try it. [11:35] ActionParsnip: i can find examples how to test transfere speed with hparm -t or -T. But can't see which sata version controller and hdd negotiated. [11:35] wat is cron? [11:35] chris_: possibly also: sudo lshw | less may say [11:35] fluxmagnet: a scheduler service [11:36] ActionParsnip: Thanks, I was looking for the words to use. [11:36] fluxmagnet, tool to executed programms/scripts at scheduled time or interval [11:36] oh right [11:36] how to i get it to do stuff? [11:37] fluxmagnet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [11:37] lubuntu is quite buggy but i'm wanting to persevere with it [11:37] fluxmagnet, crontab -e and see tyrope's link [11:37] fluxmagnet: if you have a desktop UI, you can use gnome-schedule as a GUI [11:37] thanks [11:37] fluxmagnet: this explains it http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31550 [11:38] it says i do'nt have a crontab? [11:38] fluxmagnet: yes, it'll make you one :) [11:38] fluxmagnet: it should create one on the first attempt to edit it. [11:39] and again ActionParsnip takes words from my mouth/keyboard. I'll leave you to it. [11:39] oh ok [11:39] Boom [11:41] How to create a new group? [11:41] Is there any newer alternative (better integrated into unity) than jitsi for a jabber client that's compatable with windows AND allows video chat AND screen sharing? [11:42] LukeNukem: sudo addgroup nameofgroup [11:42] DropsOfSerenity: possibly pidgin [11:42] ActionParsnip, pidgin allows screen sharing? [11:43] !group [11:43] !add group === jubei_ is now known as jubei [11:43] I cant work out how to get middle click on this laptops touchpad, anyone think this is possible (asus n53)? [11:44] hi all, a quick question! [11:44] Quick question for you guys, if i have 12.04 beta 1 installed, are the updates the same as me updating to beta 2 once it is released? [11:45] DropsOfSerenity: never used screen sharing in Linux, SSH always does what I need [11:45] thetinyjesus: yes but please use #ubuntu+1 for support until 12.04 is released [11:45] angeloc: ask away [11:45] jrib: alright thank you [11:46] i'm writing a plugin for networkmanager, it should spawn a firefox process inside users sessions when some conditions are meet, it should spawn with the user rights of user session of course [11:46] which video editor is easy and good to use ? (I know openmovieeditor, but it is not available in my new Ubuntu source version) [11:46] ActionParsnip, and to remove? [11:46] LukeNukem: guess :) [11:47] removegroup nameofgroup? [11:47] ActionParsnip, plugin is done, but I dont know wich is the best and raccomanded way to do what i want [11:47] LukeNukem: sudo delgroup close :). The man page will tell you the options on the command [11:48] ActionParsnip, and to add users to a group? [11:48] Evanescence, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10342746&postcount=4 [11:48] LukeNukem: look into useradd and usermod [11:48] ahhughes_: thanks [11:49] php mail() checks for a smtp account in linux to send mail ,, how can I configure ubunto with an gmail account to use that stmp automatically ? [11:49] quiescens: I just re-read my highlights window to see you mentioned /etc/lightdm/users.conf instead of lightdm.conf. I can't seem to find a good help page on google. mind telling me the line i need to add for a hidden user? [11:49] i tried this useradd -G {group-name} username [11:49] but it gives me output [11:49] user already exists [11:49] :| [11:49] LukeNukem: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:49] Evanescence, this is old but seems like still accurate http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/top5-linux-video-editing-system-software/ [11:50] ok i'm going to have a look at this it's a bit confusing thanks tho [11:50] bye [11:50] fluxmagnet: bye, thanks for visiting [11:50] ahhughes_: good 5 [11:50] LukeNukem: you'll want to use: sudo usermod -a -G group username [11:50] Evanescence, I have only used Avidemux to trim mpeg2's. The others seem incredibly powerful... if thats what you need [11:51] LukeNukem: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ [11:51] ActionParsnip, ok now to view the list of users in the group? [11:51] :D [11:51] ahhughes_: openshot is good choice even I have never had a try on it. looks similar with openmovieeditor [11:53] how to change ownership to a group using chown? [11:53] LukeNukem: chown username:usergroup /path/to/directory i think. [11:53] LukeNukem: http://nixcraft.com/ubuntu-debian/11867-any-way-view-view-all-members-group.html [11:54] LukeNukem: chown :groupname thing [11:54] KM0201, i want to add the entire group [11:54] LukeNukem: oh ok, then i think what AP said will work [11:55] if i wanted to run a file server a ftp server and a www server from ubuntu [11:55] would it be best to use server ? [11:55] i tend to like to use the pc too [11:55] ActionParsnip, i tried that.. but owner is still not changed to the group :\ [11:55] even though its serving [11:55] LukeNukem: is the user you are running it as the owner? [11:56] LukeNukem: is the folder stored on a FAT32 or NTFS based file system? [11:56] JermBob: you can run services on a desktop OS [11:56] JermBob: if you tend to use it as a PC to, then i wouldn't use ubuntu server, but thats just me.. but it seems crazy to run those services on a PC that's in use as a desktopp, i would think it would kill performance [11:56] AcidRain, ext4 [11:56] KM0201: its a pretty light weight www server [11:56] LukeNukem: try prepending with sudo [11:57] is there a way to save a file opened in vim as root ? [11:57] and the ftp would most likely be used by the internal network [11:57] I forgot to open it as ROOT and not I can't save [11:58] LUkeNukem, I think only 1 user can own a file. But you can set the permissions of the file so the group has same permissions as the owner (ex. 775) [11:58] is samba still the best file sharing utility thats cross platform ? [11:58] Tyrope: ran across a input for the same version asking to use exlcude line [11:58] like i want my girlfriend to be able to open stuff on her windows box [11:59] but i want to be able to network map to the ubuntu shares on my ubuntu laptop [11:59] JelloPop: Sorry? [11:59] JermBob: you can access windows shares using nautilus [11:59] ActionParsnip: thanks, is that intergrated in ubuntu standard or should i apt-get ? [12:00] Tyrope: ur not using fedora so not sure if editing file with exclude line will work [12:00] JermBob: Nautilus is a file manager (default one) [12:00] JelloPop: that file (or better, folder.) doesn't exist. [12:00] thanks GirlyGirl [12:00] Tyrope: My understanding is that the schemas file shouldn't be edited and /etc/gdm/custom.conf should be modified. I was able to exclude users from the gdm list with the following: [12:00] Code: [12:00] [greeter] [12:00] Exclude=user1, user2 [12:00] JelloPop: It uses Samba itself as backend to find windows shares [12:00] JermBob: It uses Samba itself as backend to find windows shares [12:00] JelloPop: problem is, I don't run gdm. /etc/gdm doesn't exist. [12:01] thats solved then [12:01] JelloPop: "ls /etc | grep gdm" results nothing. [12:01] thanks all [12:01] night night [12:01] oh thats good [12:01] im familar with samba being the thing [12:01] JermBob: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:02] Tyrope: Not what I'm getting at ... hold on... [12:02] JelloPop: Sorry, continue [12:03] Tyrope: the default in oneiric is lightdm, you can install gdm if you wish [12:04] ActionParsnip: I'd rather accept seeing all account than install extra software, HDD space on the VM is small and i'd rather have it used by the software I actually need. [12:04] thanks though [12:05] Tyrope: ActionParsnip could u just edit the etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf with the line exclude and get it to work??? [12:05] Hey everyone, I am wondering if anyone can help me out with this issue Im currently having. For some reason everytime I watch youtube, the video is automatically resized to an "Embedded" size leaving a portion of the normal youtube screen black. Also no internet radio works for me at all, it simply loads and loads and loads nor do clicking buttons that say "listen live" on sites such as... [12:05] ...sky.fm or iheartradio.com seem to work at all, it was working just fine a few days ago until I installed GNOME and went into recovery mode to reset my admin passwords but thats it, if anyone has any idea as to how to fix this would be great! === ivandiaz is now known as Nova [12:07] ivandiaz: what other sound problems you having? [12:08] Well in regards to online radio, I cannot hear anything at all as its stuck on that buffering icon, regardless of the site or radio station, and as for youtube, the audio works great its just the videos are stuck on the embedded size within the actual normal screen of youtube, so its like a small video off in the corner of the original youtube size screen. [12:08] Tyrope: you can uninstall lightdm if space is an issue. [12:08] JelloPop: no idea, I don't mess with lightdm [12:09] so when i look in a .desktop file, i see this line: Icon=file-manager [12:09] how do i find the full path to that icon? [12:09] I'll test it then. "exclude=user,user2,us3r" right, JelloPop? [12:09] Nova: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' use http://pastie.org to give the output [12:09] Hi I want to load modules before my udev for usb runs is there a way to do that? [12:09] Tyrope: k [12:09] In synaptic lightdm is shown as 438kb [12:10] noneio: could try: sudo updatedb; locate file-manager | egrep -i 'png|xpm|jpg' [12:10] ok give me one second ActionParsnip [12:10] notlistening: if you add them in /etc/modules does it help? [12:11] they are already in there [12:11] the problem i am having is with 3G modems [12:11] Hi ! [12:11] but on after a cold boot [12:11] JelloPop, ActionParsnip: no joy. I'll accept seeing a userlist then, at least I figured out how to remove guest. [12:11] I'm trying to launch a command with a variable part in the argument [12:12] http GET 33.33.33.10/perms.json Set-Cookie:$COOKIE --allow-redirects --print=hHBb --traceback [12:12] oh this no middle click thing on this laptop looks like a bug :'( but after I try and change the "Synaptics Tap Action" property I get left and middle click but no right :'(''''' http://askubuntu.com/questions/80712/middle-mouse-click-emulation-on-trackpad-how-can-i-set-it [12:12] is my syntax correct for the $COOKIE be replaced [12:12] Tyrope: did us see the edit version for linux mint lxde? dont u have that config file though??? [12:13] JelloPop: what file? [12:13] Tyrope: thought u did a google search??? [12:13] yes, but I specified 'ubuntu' [12:13] CaptainQuirk: if you use 'echo yourfancycommandline' it will print out how bash would see it after everything is parsed and replaced. [12:15] 1 [12:15] Tyrope: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=37129 [12:15] Tyrope: problem is it is linux mint though dought u have that config file [12:15] dr_willis, ehh, I don't get you [12:17] I just want the $COOKIE to be used inside the argument [12:17] ActionParsnip: Here is the pastie http://pastie.org/3627682 [12:17] doing 'echo $COOKIE' prints out echo $COOKIE in the header, which is not what I want [12:19] JelloPop: command ran without error, accounts still display on the login screen. seems to take a bit longer to log out now though [12:20] Tyrope: edit the code out will mess with Ubuntu dont leave that there .... [12:20] Nova: http://paste.ubuntu.com/890528/ [12:21] CaptainQuirk: then your $COOKIE is not currently.. You canuse echo as a 'test' to see what its going to do exactly. [12:21] Nova: you an old ECW fan ;) [12:21] not currently Set i mean. [12:21] ActionParsnip: Haha yeah, and thanks let me try it out [12:21] dr_willis, I do and there's something inside it [12:21] CaptainQuirk: depending on how you are doing the command, and whats running it. will dictate how you need to quote the arguments [12:22] JelloPop: There's no editing a command that already ran, though. [12:22] CaptainQuirk: so i think the channel needs some more details. I dont think you are using 'http get....' from a bash shell are you? [12:22] JelloPop: is it as simple as changing the "True" at the end into "False"? [12:23] Tyrope: if u want all users gone [12:24] JelloPop: all but one. [12:24] ActionParsnip: It gave me this in my terminal, which one should I install? http://pastie.org/3627708 [12:24] depends on the definition of 'gone'. ;) === Donkihote_ is now known as Donkihote [12:24] Tyrope: false statement removes all users from list.. [12:25] Let's not do that. :) [12:25] hello, does anybody know if there is a possibility to monitor how much data I have send in a month through my UMTS stick? [12:25] ok.... this is pretty weird, but the "install now" button in app installer is broken it appears. it wont install kid3 audio tag editor [12:26] Nova: adobe-flashplugin is the one you want [12:26] Tyrope: Unless ur going to change to LinuxMint 12 I dont seeing how to do this with out installing gdm [12:27] JelloPop: Alright, I'll stick with the userlist then. thanks anyway. [12:27] ActionParsnip: Hmm it seems It was unable to locate the files? http://pastie.org/3627731 [12:27] Tyrope: have fun :) [12:28] Nova: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [12:31] anybody ever played with bino ? [12:32] !info bino [12:32] Package bino does not exist in oneiric [12:32] ActionParsnip: Alright wow it worked! thanks so much!! [12:32] can deja-dup read a backup created with duplicity? [12:32] Nova: you had 2 flash plugins installed, removed both then installed just the one [12:34] i am upgrading to 10.10 from 10.04 and the laptop is running sorta hot, and it will shut down if it gets to hot. if it does, will the upgrade restart or will it pick up from where it terminated from the shutdown:? it's installing packages now and says like 2 hours left. it just asked if i wanted to keep a configuration and i said yes. that part. [12:34] also is libre the new office that is being distributed by ubuntu? [12:35] sambagirl: yes, its the default installed office package. You can easily remove it if you need [12:36] sambagirl: I do and install abiword and gnumeric, much smaller :) [12:36] no i will keep it [12:36] ActionParsnip: Oh I see, thanks again much apperciated! [12:36] Nova: np man :) [12:36] hey does anyone knows where i can find nautilus documentations [12:36] i use atlantis word processor actually it runs in wine beautifully and has superior functions [12:37] do u use wine in your configurations actionparsnip? [12:38] sambagirl: I've no need of it. I also use googledocs but its rare [12:38] ok === chanakya is now known as As0ka [12:39] i forgot your one of those linux wizard gurus :D === batan is now known as belladonna40 [12:40] sambagirl: i just have basic needs so I keep it simple [12:40] i understand [12:43] is it possible to upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04? === skiz_ is now known as skiz [12:44] sambagirl: not without upgrading to 11.04, then 11.10 first [12:44] sambagirl: No it's not LTS to LTS yes. Also see this. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11777153&postcount=4 [12:45] sambagirl: I'd go for a clean install, it'll give a smoother OS, plus it's LTS so you won't have all the old fluff from the old releases :) [12:45] oh so i could have upgraded from 10.04 to 12.x? since they are both lts? [12:45] ActionParsnip: to your opinion what works better running windows 7 with ubuntu in VMware or running windows7 on virtual box under ubuntu? [12:45] yeah your right actionparsnip === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [12:46] sambagirl: 12.04 not released yet and upgrade path could be bad at the moment [12:46] i am going to give this laptop to my mom [12:46] paulus68: depends on the needs of both OSes, there is no single answer [12:46] sambagirl: +1 ActionParsnip Upgrades take forever IMHO [12:47] here is an interesting question. i have seen all kinds of Ubuntu derivatives and i wondered if there is lets call it a senior citizens version? [12:47] your right philinux this started around 2am :D [12:47] its' almost 0am now [12:47] 9am [12:47] sambagirl: just 2 buttons on desktop + 120pt Fontsize? [12:48] ActionParsnip: For my work I would need to be able to work with MSOFFICE 2010 other then that there are a view things that works for me better under windows then linux (ex adobe mastersuite 4) and didn't find any good replacement for this package under linux but I might be wrong [12:48] llutz_ that would be good [12:48] test [12:49] i'm going to do some research on the subject of a senior citizens ubuntu version [12:49] paulus68: then i'd virtualize Ubuntu as you will get better performance from those apps [12:49] sambagirl: iirc there had been a debian based project like that by german company Siemens. idk what happend with that [12:49] let me look into it brb thanks [12:49] hi :-) [12:49] ActionParsnip: or run a dual boot which is another alternative [12:50] I still have one desktop machine with version 10.10. Does anyone know of a way to upgrade to a new version, but keeping my gnome intact. Without instaling Unity? [12:50] paulus68: sure, always an option. Just remember to only install windows to a portion of the drive space rather than the default 100% [12:50] i wonder if someone could give me a hint of what i could do to get rid of my hard disk problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11777259#post11777259) [12:51] mcb_: you will need to upgrade first, then tweak [12:51] ActionParsnip: I know I have 1.5TB so I can shift a little :) [12:51] But the tweak does not go so good..... Shame! [12:51] mcb_: you will need to upgrade to evry intermediate release until you get to the version you want [12:51] paulus68: if you plan partitions, you won't have to resize [12:51] hi, my windows xp can not access my ubuntu samba server. I followed this doc: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html any ideas? thanks. I can access the samba ports from windows xp PC. thanks. [12:52] mcb_: could use xfce, i feels and smells like Gnome2 [12:52] ActionParsnip: it's 3x500Gig drives no resizing needed [12:53] ActionParsnip: That I know, but I realy disliked Unity, and to tweak it aftwards is a pain. Using Xfce is good, but i also have to reconfigure it all, and that the kind of problem i want to abvoid. [12:53] paulus68: will if you set the Windows partitions to use all the space ;) [12:54] mcb_: Have you tried MyUnity or the cinnamon desktop [12:54] mcb_: there are how to's for tweaking Oneiric to make it look like Gnome2. There are also unofficial forks of Gnome2 you can use which are not supported here [12:54] ActionParsnip: the last time an OS tried to play it his way it ended to be formatted ;) [12:54] mcb_: like cinnamon that philinux mentioned [12:54] mcb_ i don't like/use unity either, Gnome classic looks much like Gnome2, but *is* Gnome3 (which means the bars on top and bottom are less configurable) [12:55] anyone any ideas whats wrong with the hd? [12:55] unity reminds me of my cellphone [12:55] Thanks all for the advices. I think I will backup, and do a fresh install without desktop enviroment and install it all manually..... [12:56] newbuntu: I don't even see what format type the partition is in what I see in your link, ntfs? ext4? ... [12:56] ntfs [12:57] btw, I can access the samba server from localhost with smb://localhost/share/ through nautilus. windows xp can not connect to it at all. any ideas? thanks. [12:57] hello !!! when i use "fdisk -l" , then diskplay an "sda", does that mean my disk is SATA? [12:57] newbuntu: then might want to try recover in windows first. not sure ubuntu ntfs drivers are best in this case [12:58] ye: more than likely, yes [12:58] sggg: can the XP system ping the ubuntu system? [12:58] but i dont know how, because i dont have a windows cd that i could use, because it came preinstalled [12:58] ActionParsnip, yeah, sure. I also said it could access the samba ports 139 and 445. [12:59] sggg: what happens when you try to connect? [12:59] windows does not boot anymore and i dont have another win pc where i could plug the disk in [12:59] ActionParsnip: but when i use "grub" , i enter "root" in it , i only match sda. [12:59] ActionParsnip, forgot. let me try it out. just connect timeout I think. let me try it again. [13:00] ActionParsnip: hd [13:00] ye: you can see if you run: sudo lshw | less === Donkihote_ is now known as Donkihote [13:00] ye: it will say the model of the drive and you can search to see what interface it uses [13:01] newbuntu: http://www.howtoforge.com/ntfs-disk-recovery [13:02] ActionParsnip, the error is "the network path was not found". I access it by using \\\share and also tried \\\ === CQ_ is now known as CQ [13:02] ActionParsnip: sorry , can you tell me how to find out what interface it is? [13:02] sggg: have you configured the firewall on the Ubuntu system at all? === litos is now known as litushi [13:02] ye: run the command I gave, when you see the drive model you can search for that on the web [13:03] ActionParsnip, I didn't configure the firewall at all. I think I even don't have it installed. and the windows xp can access the ports. I tried telnet ip 139 and telnet ip 445. both works. [13:04] I never make samba work... I remembered I tried to use it two years ago. then give up... [13:04] sggg: cool, all I can suggest is run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER set the password and you can authenticate with that, should be ok [13:04] I can access it locally with smb:///share/ with nautilus as what I posted. [13:04] ActionParsnip: scsi [13:05] ActionParsnip, I really want to make guest work. I don't need any security. [13:06] sacarlson: thx . question - when i create an image, will it take as much space as the size of the disk under consideration or only space in size of the actual data on that disk? ...because its a 1 TB device, and my external device has not so much space left :/ [13:06] Hi, can I add chrome extensions on chromium??? [13:07] Robinux: off you can. [13:07] of course* [13:07] Robinux: absolutely [13:07] newbuntu: I'm not sure, I guess you'll just have to try to find out [13:08] ok thx [13:08] My problem: i would like to pair a HID lazer keyboard to my bluetooth, but it doesn't see it. >> http://www.vkb-support.com/index.php . Is there an alternative BT manager ? [13:08] ActionParsnip: OK got it. thx [13:10] I can't find any Linux info of this €160 gadget either...

Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [13:40] chinese in #ubuntu-cn paopao [13:40] wow i found a distro for visually impaired called Vinux it's ubuntu based. [13:40] ahhughes_: Press ctrl l [13:40] thanx :-) [13:40] alis [13:41] "/msg alis help list" [13:41] paopao: without the quotes [13:42] sambagirl: looks like LXDE to me, could install Lubuntu and theme it the same and get support here :) [13:42] is there any other font editing software that fontforge? [13:42] oh [13:43] i wonder why this is still stuck on mysql upgrade? it's been like forever. i recall i had to restart the mysql from a prompt earlier.

[13:56] Can someone help me sort out xsession? I want to have a Lubuntu session at startup but all I get is LXDE after an error message that an Xubuntu session could not be started. [13:56] sambagirl: I had this once and thats why I do clean installs. You need to reboot probably into recovery and try to repair it or chroot from livecd [13:56] do you think it won't reboot? [13:57] let me back it up first then [13:57] sambagirl: no idea till you try. You van use dpkg --configure -a from recovey and update and upgrade etc [13:57] Apparently "LXDE session" is set as default, nevertheless the system tries to start a "Xubuntu session" at first even though Xubuntu has been completely purged... [13:58] sambagirl: yes backup first importnat stuff [13:58] crash the upgrade and then run dpkg --configure -a ? [13:58] philinux, BooYah, thank you! [13:58] sambagirl: I'd make sure of backups first [13:59] yeah blah [13:59] it doenst seem to recognize the external drive now [13:59] it has a ghost there [13:59] now it does [13:59] bbiab [14:00] 'be back in after backup' [14:01] hey philinux sorry to bug ya, you know how I can add custom links (to folders) to the panel on the left hand side, of nautilus i.e in addition to Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads.... === Guest99609 is now known as hael33 [14:04] ahhughes_: yes hang on [14:04] awesome, its been bugging me for ages, and I just cant get the relevant terms to google for it successfully [14:05] ahhughes_: you can search yourself for quicklists [14:06] ahhughes_: here's one link http://askubuntu.com/questions/35488/what-custom-launchers-and-unity-quicklists-are-available [14:06] net_proxy_port 9050 [14:06] thanks philinux I had never heard of a quicklist til you mentioned it. [14:07] Hi! Installed xfce4 and lxde packages as the names are to try xfce and lxde DE early today. Soon after installing them, on restart I noticed a change of grub background from default blue to a one based on debian something like this - http://lazybrowndog.net/debian/squeeze/bugfixes/grub/spacefun-grub-widescreen.png - and similar background when KDE loads with a splash screen. [14:07] ahhughes_: this is an easier method. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/myunity-30-released-with-new-gui.html [14:07] Other than that, the desktop effects fail to load on login that only enabling them from desktop effects works but partially. How can I fix this? [14:07] ahhughes_: 12.04 though. Just around the corner [14:08] ahhughes_: also see here. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/unity-window-quicklists.html === serverdata is now known as ktml78 [14:09] hi. is there any other way to restart all of usb than reloading the kernel module? because it is compiled into the kernel.

[14:16] does heimdall work for galaxy mini ? [14:16] what is the command to, in a EXT4 filesystem, reduce the lost and found folder to 1% of the total memory? [14:17] %1 of the total memory ? [14:17] meerkats: sure you mean the Lost&Found and not the root-reserved space? [14:17] meerkats: there is no such command. do you mean adjusting the reserved block count of the filesystem? [14:17] meerkats: the lost+found folder is for lost/orphaned files [14:17] meerkats: tune2fs -m .... [14:18] wow [14:18] meerkats: it is very unwise to change the reserved space on a file system though unless you know what you are doing [14:18] Wow!!!!! [14:18] yougatup: what ? [14:18] i have no idea, its been too long since last time I did it, I mean the 5% reserved space that, for a 500GB HDD is too much [14:18] meerkats: agree strongly. [14:18] meerkats: tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdXY [14:18] it is my first time to use IRC! [14:18] meerkats: it's not too much [14:18] meerkats: it's a buffer to stop your disk from having issues should you fill it up [14:18] It's amazing!

[14:31] install? [14:31] crap thats wrong [14:32] apt-get install [14:32] ? [14:32] ok [14:32] rbrooks: what's the issue ? [14:32] he needs to install screen [14:32] !info screen [14:32] screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-14ubuntu8 (oneiric), package size 582 kB, installed size 1044 kB [14:32] rbrooks: sudo apt-get install screen [14:33] yep thats it! [14:33] rbrooks: it's that simple [14:33] ahh [14:33] Hans_Henrik, ^^ [14:33] -i is no work [14:34] ikonia, htnaks [14:34] Is it possible to have a clipboard in a tty? Stupid question I know, but just wondering [14:34] GirlyGirl: with screen you can === xpert is now known as zmaj [14:36] GirlyGirl: you can also with "gpm" [14:36] !info gpm [14:36] gpm (source: gpm): General Purpose Mouse interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.20.4-3.4ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 205 kB, installed size 580 kB [14:36] does that actually have a clip board? [14:36] I thought it was just a mouse driver for the tty, rather than a clipboard (1 cut and paste buffer) [14:37] yea it cut/paste [14:37] ikonia: gpm can highlight then left click to paste [14:37] ikonia: i really seem to recall you can copy and paste from it by default [14:37] yeah, that's only one "line" [14:37] ikonia: sorry, right click ;) [14:37] I didn't see that as a clipboard, I thought a clipboard was multiple items [14:38] ikonia: the "clipboard" as i always knew it is simply the copypaste buffer, might or might not support multiple items... [14:38] LjL: just a wording miss-understanding [14:42] guys, i searched on net and couldn't find a definitive solution so here i am. how to make sure ubuntu (10.04) does a disk fsck on reboot? [14:42] any alternative for the "shutdown -rF now" command? [14:42] m4n_: touch /.autofsk then reboot [14:43] ikonia: can you tell me which script reads that? i read on net certain folks complaining about that method not working [14:43] touch /forcefsck [14:43] yeah /forcefsck is the one i read about. right now, doing a grep for forsefsck in /etc [14:43] no results so far [14:44] m4n_: I'm not sure which actual init script reads it, I thought it was was a kernel thing upon boot [14:44] wondering which init script is looking at it [14:44] m4n_: I don't think it's a script for /forcefsck [14:44] m4n_: I think it's a kernel thing when it does the initial mount [14:44] one of my ntfs partitions (I have 2) doesnt have a mount point. Why? [14:44] kernel? i doubt kernel doing that [14:44] m4n_: why ? [14:45] m4n_: it parses fstab and takes arguments for grub about what to mount and how [14:45] it's not [14:45] it's just a temporary file that gets deleted after fsck runs === llutz__ is now known as llutz_ [14:45] lets have a look [14:45] ikonia: true. i dont know why i think so :) === Super_Donkihote_ is now known as Super_Donkihote [14:47] m4n_: on olod sysVinit machines it's rc.sysinit [14:47] old [14:48] so I'd assume the same is true on modern upstart systems too [14:48] thats what i thought. but i dont see it anywhere in /etc [14:48] m4n_: some quite good info on Redhat based systems, so it shouldn't be too hard to translate to Debian/Ubuntu based setups [14:49] Anyone about to give some advice? [14:50] aRaaa, ask a question related to ubuntu [14:50] ok [14:51] i think he just wan tsome advise [14:51] Basically, iv installed GuilWard, Iv got the icon on the desktop. Im using Ubuntu 11.10 on an iMac. And when i try to launch GuildWars, the small loading window appears and loads to 100, but then does nothing else, it just wont go no further [14:51] Im just wondering if theres something iv missed?

[14:57] Yeah but i thought Linux created Ubuntu, but they wer seperate operating system. I dont know alot about this [14:57] naw [14:57] php5-imap seems to be compiled with kerberos support. When connecting to an imap server, the connection will try kerberos first (which will fail, as the system does not use kerberos). I cannot uninstall kerberos support, as php and apache seems to depend on this. How can I then get around this? [14:58] Ubuntu is to Linux as Pepsi is to beverages.

[15:07] greater functionality in ncurses [15:07] MonkeyDust, I assume you want me to create a folder in dev/sdb3... [15:07] meerkats: no, he wants you to create a mountpoint [15:08] in dev/sda3? [15:08] droid-0854: I do not fully comprehend. I understand hard and symlinks, but I do not understand the answer as a whole. [15:08] meerkats: you need to specify a mountpoint (sudo mkdir /media/sdb3 && sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /media/sdb3) [15:08] meerkats, might need sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb3 /mnt/yourfolder [15:08] how do I change my default shell to bash? [15:08] rbrooks: Weechat is nice, but it has one, imho important, unaddressed shortcoming (in fact, a bug report on this issue was turned down) - the way it breaks lines, that's a lot prettier in Irssi [15:08] meerkats no, in your personal folder [15:08] hwilde: run chsh [15:08] meerkats: sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /your/mnt/point [15:08] same interface (ncurses, but more stuff [15:08] Pici, permanently [15:08] hwilde: That will do it permanently.

[17:19] ok then how [17:19] its usually under system tools [17:19] http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/11.10/release/ < why are these iso.s so much bigger than the official ones? [17:19] orinosonofneptun, system monitor [17:19] orionsonofneptun, you using unity? if so just type system monitor in the finder thing [17:20] check disc for defects does same black screen issue ~.~ === Aster|Away is now known as Aster [17:21] Aikar, sounds like a bad iso file, redownload and burn on a dvd or flashdrive [17:21] cool [17:21] wow look at this it's perfect for my mom http://friendlycomputer.wordpress.com/ === max is now known as Guest95790 [17:24] This might not be the appropriate channel for this question but I'm not sure where to begin [17:24] in the ubuntu memory test what is a ecc correctable error [17:24] jsmith-argotec: this channel is for ubuntu support [17:24] the test on the instal cd??? [17:24] orionsonofneptun: it's for EEC ram [17:24] hi, is there a special IRC for GUI design? [17:24] whats eec [17:25] !alis | belgianguy [17:25] belgianguy: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [17:25] orionsonofneptun: type of ram [17:25] ikonia: well I am running on 10.04 - I'll explain briefly and maybe you can help guide me :-) [17:26] ok ive got whats called a eec correctable error [17:26] please explain === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [17:26] ikonia: I have a program that calls 'uname -n' and I need to figure out how to intercept the call and run a different command [17:26] jsmith-argotec: as in, instead of calling uname -n it does something else [17:27] Hi all. 11.10 64 bit inside a Virtualbox guest, Windows 7 host, and I'm having a problem with graphics going 'fuzzy' and not refreshing when I drag a window. [17:27] Wondering what direction I should be looking. [17:27] ok having coworker burn me a new dvd, since this work laptop doesnt have a burner and the laptops windows install is fubared :( [17:27] ikonia: as in it does call uname -n but I'm trying to run it in a cluster so I want it use something like host x.x.x.x [17:27] installed windows updates and drivers cause it to BSOD boot now :/ stupid windows [17:27] ikonia: it's a binary so I can't just change the command like in an init script [17:28] jsmith-argotec: then I would suggest not doing it [17:28] jsmith-argotec: changing binaries is just a no go unless you have the source [17:29] ikonia: maybe not even close but could you wrap the program somehow and redirect it when it tries to call uname? [17:29] Alis isn't really helpful [17:29] jsmith-argotec: me - I wouldn't uname is important, so trying to put a wrapper around it isn't something I'd suggest [17:29] jsmith-argotec: (being honest) === mike is now known as Guest70811 [17:30] ikonia: no I wouldn't want to do that! figured it would break lots of things! [17:30] ikonia: wanted to know if I could wrap the binary that goes looking for uname (that I don't have source for) [17:31] belgianguy, ask in #freenode [17:31] jsmith-argotec: no, not really [17:31] ikonia: too bad :-( thanks for the help though! [17:31] is there an ntfs checkdisk tool for ubuntu? [17:32] jsmith-argotec: apologies, just being honest for a solution [17:32] lotuspsychje: there is a tool to check the disk, I think.. but nothing to fix problems [17:33] ikonia: not your fault - windows companies aren't very linux helpful! [17:33] Slart: i got a weird error on an usb stick saying it cant mount (check with ntfs checkdisk) [17:33] eww ntfs formatted usb stick [17:34] pfifo: what format u suggest? [17:34] lotuspsychje, fat32 or ext2 [17:34] pfifo, fat32..on a 32GB USB Drive is pointless. [17:34] pfifo: as you know fat32 has 4gig limit [17:35] does ext have limits? [17:35] lotuspsychje: I haven't had that happen to me before so I can't really recommend anything.. here's some short info on the ntfs tools available http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ntfsprogs [17:35] hence the 'or ext2' [17:35] loucal: yes but they are ridiculously high [17:35] lotuspsychje, yes, but they are astronomically high.. [17:35] Slart: tnx alot m8 [17:35] satyanash: ok next format ill test ext2 [17:36] lotuspsychje: I assume you're using ntfs because you want to be able to use the usb stick on a windows computer.. the easiest solution would be to either use that windoes computer to also check the usb stick or install some flavour of windows in a wm [17:36] anyway to delete posts from paste.ubuntu.com ? [17:36] so after making an ext2 format, can the stick be readed by windows too? [17:36] lotuspsychje: you're welcome.. hope you find some kind of solution [17:37] lotuspsychje, no, Windows does not support anything other than NTFS and FAT* [17:37] why note format it fat32? [17:37] Can someone reports me what is the average cpu usage for a ubuntu desktop doing nothing ? [17:37] satyanash, lotuspsychje: actually while Windows doesn't spport ext* natively, there are drivers for it. [17:38] My is about 10% that seems to much, right? [17:38] LjL, I think I've heard of EXt2 explore or some tool like that. [17:38] hello .. I use ubuntu 11.10 with unity >> is it possible to use slimbrowse.com compression proxy with openVPN on ubuntu at same time .. and how to do that ??? [17:39] josvuk, depends on the CPU. [17:39] I mean use both .. VPN and Proxy [17:39] an usb stick is mostly a sharing solution between diff Oses, so i tought ntfs would be most compatible no? [17:39] josvuk: that depends.. some/most cpus downclock to save energy.. that makes the cpu usage go higher.. at least on my system [17:39] ljl or satyanash: just out of curiosity does ubuntu have support for exFat? [17:39] SaRSAeOL: i don't think so [17:39] hmm [17:39] josvuk: You problably has services that are started at boot time, it is quite dificult to have a system that realy "does nothing". [17:40] lotuspsychje, also fat32 doesnt have a 4gb limit, you can easily format your 32gb drive with fat32, the 4gb limit refers to the maximum size of files [17:40] lotuspsychje, which makes fat32 the most compatible [17:40] pfifo: i know all mkv video's these days are like 12gig, so my 32gig usb is best in ntfs for me [17:41] you can use exfat in ubuntuu SaRSAeOL [17:41] mcb: the most sevices started use 0.0% according to top how much cpu usage do you have? [17:42] SaRSAeOL, http://apcmag.com/how-to-enable-exfat-in-ubuntu.htm [17:42] dr3mro: is there a specific version that added support, I'm reading a tutorial on how to add the capability but is it native in any new version? [17:42] Anyone else could point me to a good resource on all the GUI paradigms (and their inner workings) that exist for Ubuntu? [17:42] dr3mro: lol thats the exact site I'm on [17:42] josvuk, My CPU1 = CPU2 = ~7% [17:42] SaRSAeOL, just add the ppa and do install the app and then mount your disks as expalined [17:43] dr3mro: yeah pretty straight forward ty [17:43] guys, how to stop the fan on ubuntu ? [17:43] SaRSAeOL, but why exfat .. fat32 is good and universal between MAC / WIN / NIX [17:43] belgianguy: whats it for excactly? [17:43] dr3mro: get around the 4GB files size limit [17:44] <-- ubuntu fan [17:44] SaRSAeOL, u can then use NTFS :) [17:44] lotuspsychje: just seeing how hard it would be to create something like this: http://www.fixingwindows8.com/2012/03/a-brief-narrative-explaining-why-win8-is-broken/ [17:44] dr3mro: i work in a mixed enviro with ubutnu, osx, and windows… ntfs is not writable in osx except with an unstable driver === Mud is now known as Guest49911 [17:44] sorry, wrong link (:s) [17:45] lotuspsychje: http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/24/2822891/windows-desktop-ui-concept [17:45] satyanash: So my isn't to be to bad, but what about the Xorg server my use about 5% [17:45] josvuk: I have a lot services running for test in my machine, shoudnt do no good for comparison, but it is about 20% cpu1 e 2. [17:45] it looks pretty nice, and I was wondering what kind of effort it would take [17:45] can someone tell me how to join the Ubuntu bug squad [17:45] josvuk, that is my usage with Firefox, banshee, libreoffice writer, xchat.. xorg, apache,mysql and whatnot.. [17:45] I have a launchpad account is that enough [17:46] SaRSAeOL, does OSX have EXFAT stable driver yet / === shadowh511 is now known as shadowh511-afk [17:46] dr3mro: yes since 10.6 [17:46] odd they support exfat and not stable in ntfs ? [17:46] josvuk, But obviously all almost idling around.. [17:46] can anyone tell me why apt-get is aborting even though i tell it Y to install? http://pastebin.com/uFzzEbvv [17:46] dr3mro: agreed [17:46] belgianguy: not happy with unity? [17:46] dr3mro: but you know apple [17:47] lotuspsychje: I'm happy, but I wanted to see what it takes [17:47] and what makes it tick [17:47] satyanash: do you use software rasterization or the gpu? I use the first :-( [17:48] I'm okay with Unity, I transitioned pretty smoothly [17:48] but I'm just curious if Ubuntu could be made to look like that [17:48] whether it's through Unity/GNOME/other [17:49] josvuk, ohh.. yea.. I have an Nvidia Card doing all the Graphics stuff..forgot to mention that. [17:50] does anyone have any thoughts on why chromium browser cannot handle magnet links? FF handles them fine and they open with transmission. [17:51] nvz chromium handles them fine, here [17:52] Hm, so I have to recompile realy the kernel without the radeonfb driver :-( I have a radeon card the xorg server should use quite little cpu [17:52] why when I export a var like PATH, when I reboot the system, I lost the PATH that I had set [17:52] OerHeks: hmm, absolutely nothing happens here, I've even gone as far as trying to find extensions to extract the links [17:52] ? [17:52] can someone tell me how to join the ubuntu bug squad [17:52] magma: because thats how export works.. [17:52] set the var in a init script [17:52] is there a howto compile the kernel on ubuntu docs anywhere? especially for ppc [17:52] P [17:53] dr_willis, that's the way of doing it? [17:53] !kernel | josvuk [17:53] josvuk: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [17:53] dr_willis, where is located that script? [17:53] magma: for PATH you can set it in ~/.bashrc to make it permanent [17:53] !path [17:53] for a single user. one of their .bash* files in their home dir. [17:54] system wide. its a file in /etc/ [17:54] ok [17:54] thanks [17:54] :) [17:54] Hi dr_willis [17:54] moo pfifo [17:54] dr_willis, where if there are 2 PATH, one local and one wide, which one will be overridden? [17:55] user settings always override system.. wouldent make much sence otherwise [17:55] dr_willis, which is the name of the file in the /etc ? [17:56] ubottu: Are there precompiled Mainline kernels for ppc which doesn't have the radeonfb driver in it, the radeonfb should be loadable as a module [17:56] josvuk: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:56] magma: no idea. I never change it ystem wide [17:57] josvuk, you can search for a PPA === Rango_ is now known as Rango [17:58] what does this stand for PPA?

[18:00] Ithis started since i upgraded from 10.04 [18:01] just a really newbie question, xubuntu, its just the ubuntu with xfce desktop? i mean, all code under the xubuntu is the same? just without gnome? [18:02] Kk2: they're different packages and stuff under the hood [18:02] Kk2: there's a #xubuntu channel I think, for specific questions; you can deal with most generic *buntu stuff in here though afaik [18:02] !xubuntu | Kk2 [18:02] Kk2: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[18:07] yoshimi-pink: synaptic [18:08] aptitude >_> [18:08] not synaptic, im trying to use a .deb that i dont want to open with ubuntu software center [18:08] ahhh [18:08] dpkg [18:08] dpkg -i name.deb [18:08] it use to open in a little window but now it uses USC [18:08] hello do speak french ? [18:08] no, english only [18:08] you [18:08] thaks [18:09] yoshimi-pink: the little window was gdebi-gtk, you can reinstall it with: sudo apt-get install gdebi; [18:09] !fr | lionel- [18:09] lionel-: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [18:09] ty <3 [18:09] Hi ... [18:09] I have a question, and I will be very grateful if someone could help me. [18:09] I do not know whether this is the place, and certainly does seem a bit frivolous, but I still wonder. [18:09] with ubuntu 10.4 am and I've installed opera from opera_11.61.1250_i386.deb. [18:09] his opera itself actually works perfectly, but it open where the icon appears on top of the panel to the notification area is slightly unsized (slightly smaller than that of starter and any glare and reflections). [18:09] beam: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:09] I know not, who knows what the problem, but I ceased provoking. [18:09] thanks szal [18:10] how can I reboot the environment so that the new vars can be visible? [18:10] beam, dont ask to ask, dont be over polite, simply said i have problem x and i need solution y ive tried solution z, q, pi [18:10] magma: what sort of vars? Like in .bashrc? [18:10] yes ssam [18:10] yes ssta [18:10] magma: . ~/.bashrc [18:11] magma: or just log out and back in again... [18:11] ssta, didn't work out [18:11] hello yoshimi-pink [18:12] omg hi pfifo <3 [18:12] actually it might have work [18:12] magma: it gave an error? [18:12] I want to change my default file manager to pcman, ideas? [18:13] Hi...I have a question, and I will be very grateful if someone could help me.I do not know whether this is the place, and certainly does seem a bit frivolous, but I still wonder.with ubuntu 10.4 am and I've installed opera from opera_11.61.1250_i386.deb. [18:13] his opera itself actually works perfectly, but it open where the icon appears on top of the panel to the notification area is slightly unsized (slightly smaller than that of starter and any glare and reflections).I know not, who knows what the problem, but I ceased provoking. so I hope someone knows where the system loads the icon to change it to another level. [18:14] no, seriously beam, dont do that it's annoying [18:14] yoshimi-pink: i recall some guides on doing that ages ago.. but it can be very quirky. and no idea if those guides still work for the newer ubuntu releases. [18:15] what do more folks use… gnome or kde? [18:15] XFCE for me [18:15] not an option [18:15] currently Windows here [18:15] lol [18:15] BlendedByChris: everyone has different opinions...try both and see which you like best [18:15] shun the non-beliver! [18:15] what liver? ;) [18:16] i literally am just interested in knowing which is more used [18:16] believer... [18:16] *sets self on fire* [18:16] BlendedByChris: I expect on this channel most people use Unity [18:16] uugh [18:17] hate unity, horrible interface, if i wanna type out every program i want to use ill go with cmd line ty [18:17] what Ubuntu GUI is the easiest to reconfigure? [18:17] opera icon in the notification area? never noticed. That would be defined by the opera program. check their forums and bug reports perhaps. [18:17] i find xfce to be pretty easy but i hear good things about kde as well [18:17] if=UbuntuUnity of=NO count=5000 :P [18:17] I'm looking if there is one that I can make look like this (minus the Windows things, ofcourse) http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/24/2822891/windows-desktop-ui-concept [18:18] belgianguy: depends on what you are wanting to reconfigure [18:18] belgianguy: theres dozens of window managers out there you can play with. [18:18] How can I check if the Compete Linux kernel on PowerPC which is an suggestet update from Update Manager don't have the radeonfb driver compiled in it It should be loadable as a module? [18:18] CC -V [18:18] I don't mind Unity, but I'm a bit tired of the faux 3D [18:18] configuring to me - means more then just themes.. [18:18] dr_willis: hi! any you have experience with? [18:18] I've installed vsftpd on my computer, and downloading works fine, but I cannot upload. I am the owner of the directory. My computer is behind a router, ports 20-21 are forwarded. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is not working? [18:18] the best thing about free software is there isnt really a 'best' anything [18:19] belgianguy: but...but....3d is coool! [18:19] sorry - wrong window :-) [18:19] the fake 3d, the horrible attemt to make it look cool [18:19] every DE has its ups and downs [18:19] belgianguy: I used Unity for a while and just removed it and went into "Classic" mode because I was trying to get it to work for stream line... Unity gave me a lot of overhead, as well as headaches x.x [18:19] i would like a background in xfce that changes every few seconds but i still cant get it to work ;; [18:20] thats easy in gnome [18:20] I've gotten used to Unity, although I still find myself staring doe-eyed at the top bar when I expect something to be there, but then it isn't [18:20] yoshimi-pink: you might try the xubuntu channel, someone might have a fix/script/setup for you o.O [18:21] ooh, ty [18:21] so the default desktop on ubuntu is unity/ [18:22] * dr_willis wonders what faux 3d means... [18:22] vague terms are vague... [18:22] theres dozens of apps and scripts that can change the wallpaper at set times. [18:22] BlendedByChris: yes. [18:22] dr_willis: highlights and gradients that make items stand out from their surrounding background [18:23] ofcourse all 3D is 'fake' on a screen :p [18:23] BlendedByChris: Only if you choose Ubuntu for the startup in 11.... I personally went to Ubuntu Classic which is the old 10.10 Desktop (no download needed) and then from there just removed unity using command line. [18:23] but it's soo plastic-like, some of it looks like candy [18:24] kk555 [18:24] * belgianguy sighs [18:24] i hate the default keyring but i always forget how to disable it [18:25] wuts wrong belgianguy? [18:25] Hi does anyone know the channel name of muse midi sequencer help channel? [18:25] I'm looking for a way to deeply customize my UI [18:25] :/ [18:25] Hi everyone!! Anyway to see the size of software in ubuntu software center in 10.04 [18:25] well couldnt you get xfce? [18:25] I can make it look however i want [18:26] yoshimi-pink: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=ubuntu%20desktop&order=9&offset=72 [18:26] belgianguy, If you are serious, Fvwm! [18:26] belgianguy: find the directory it is in and start playing around with it? [18:26] That's what I came here for, where to start :) [18:26] satyanash: ...um... what is Fvwm? [18:26] thanks for that [18:26] o: [18:26] lots of desktops [18:27] FrozenMind, Completely customizable dekstop environment, using only text files.. [18:27] belgianguy: go to command prompt/terminal and type in -- locate unity [18:27] satyanash: aaah, ok... here i was thinking you were saying something along the line of find the manual XD [18:28] thats my desktop [18:28] i could push it alot further [18:28] hello can you plz help me create apparmor profile for xchat [18:29] belgianguy for a start, there's CCSM, gnome-tweak-tool and a PPA for MyUnity [18:29] yoshimi-pink: can't seem to accept the image, could you host it somewhere perhaps? [18:29] belgianguy and Emerald [18:30] MonkeyDust: I'm taking notes, any you'd recommend? [18:30] belgianguy depends on what you like most [18:30] !emerald | MonkeyDust belgianguy [18:30] MonkeyDust belgianguy: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [18:31] belgianguy ubottu says it :) [18:31] dr3mro, you might wish to ask abou that in #xchat [18:31] Someone here with a running ubuntu PowerPc system with the latest availabel kernel, and is willing to paste the output off lsmod? [18:32] MonkeyDust, thanks! [18:32] josvuk: nah only Debian sadly :p [18:32] why isn't apparmor an ubuntu service ?? and i want to create app armor profile ?? [18:33] belgianguy there's more, but that's for #ubuntu-offtopic [18:33] dr3mro, sure, but #xchat probably has a better idea on how to do it [18:33] I am planning to run this script.. sudo ln -sf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/ [18:33] is it safe? [18:33] MonkeyDust: I'm there :p [18:33] *script==command :P [18:33] neo1691, yes go and enjoy better fonts [18:34] dr3mro, Thanks [18:34] I want to view the size of a software in mb before installing it. Can i do that in ubuntu software center? [18:34] Would someone be kind enough to lead me in the right direction on which channel I need to ask a question about driver questions? [18:34] if python was a girl I'd f*** her hard [18:36] yoshimi-pink, is xfce a file manager I could use with Unity? [18:36] xfce is a desktop environment [18:36] donsd: xfce is a desktop environment [18:36] i win [18:36] but i dont like its default file manger so i use pcmanfm instead [18:38] Where to look for changesets from linux-image-2.6.32-39 and linux-image-2.6.32-38 ? [18:39] auronandace, okay, thanks. [18:39] josvuk: the update manager usually contains the list of changes when you update [18:39] yoshimi-pink, thanks. [18:40] donsd: no worries, just so you know the file manager for xfce is called thunar [18:40] hi, which package I need to get m4b played? [18:41] lol [18:41] Which file manager is popular for Ubuntu. I'm using default, Nautilus, but would like to change. [18:41] 'do you accept the EULA license terms?' [18:41] yoshimi-pink, sorry to ask again, but I was wondering if you could show me that pic of your UI [18:41] donsd: people usually stick with the default, pcmanfm is a good choice though [18:42] One question, when using magnet links. When I press on them in Chrome, file transfer thing (working module in activity bar) starts but never close and KTorrent acting weird compared to torrents.

[19:59] rhizmoe, fstab gives command not found [19:59] IWorld, yep [19:59] yet I can remember using it :s [19:59] belgianguy: it's a file. /etc/fstab [19:59] IWorld, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 please [20:00] CharminTheMoose, boot into that kernel and try again [20:00] ok [20:00] oops :$ [20:00] beam help [20:00] belgianguy: man fstab [20:00] read file system [20:00] help [20:00] m112: how old are you? [20:01] m112 try #ubuntu-ru if you can not explain your problem [20:01] read only file system [20:01] rhizmoe, it's not listed in fstab, but this is a Dual Boot machine [20:01] i not problem [20:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/891196/ [20:02] it's an NTFS partition I want to get rid off, to give more room to Ubuntu [20:02] i need help with a backup and a problem: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=viRMnWxG [20:02] pfifo, I'm building it in a chroot.. Is there any particular reason I shouldn't be able to install all modules on their own via make modules_install? My .config for the chroot kernel is: http://pastebin.ca/2130148 [20:02] CharminTheMoose, cause of uname -r giving bad information [20:03] belgianguy: Try $ ls -lah /dev/disks/by-label It will list all devs that are attached. You should find your drive there. [20:04] pfifo, I don't understand. Why would uname -r come into this? :/ Even if I did boot into the kernel, I wouldn't be able to mount / 'cos the modules aren't installed. [20:04] mcb_1, thanks, this shows some of the sd* devices [20:05] chalcedony, I gave you the fix to your problem 2 days ago [20:05] belgianguy: It should show you all the disks you have. [20:05] pfifo, oh.. relooking === Myr is now known as Tom_Poes [20:06] CharminTheMoose, I dont know.. WHY would uname -r have anything to do with this :D ... to the google mobile! [20:06] belgianguy: Try $ ls -lah /dev/disk/by-uuid/ In case you have disks without labels. [20:06] mcb_1, the partition is called sdb5 in GParted, and I can't see it in the by-label list [20:07] so I'll try the by-uuid now === Tom_Poes is now known as Myr [20:07] pfifo, hehehe, guess I sounded a bit pissy. My bad. :P [20:07] chalcedony, you need to rename his home director and create a new one from /etc/skel [20:07] pfifo, did you mean this? :Mar:17:19:54:58 chalcedony, try this 'sudo mv /home/chalcedony /home/old && sudo cp -a /etc/skel /home/chalcedony && sudo chown -R chalcedony:chalcedony /home/chalcedony' [20:07] mcb_1, it's there, :) [20:08] chalcedony, yes exactly [20:08] now to find to see what's on it [20:08] pfifo, i was scared to do that [20:08] eg, if it's my Windows 7 boot partition, I'm stuck [20:08] belgianguy: Just mount it. $mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt [20:08] chalcedony, it will fix your problem right away [20:08] I hope it's some random data that I can back up, and then delete the partition [20:08] I have a huge 1 tb hard disk on which I want to use some command line utility to find files faster [20:09] hello! I want to intall a chm viewer at ubuntu 10.04. Any idea how? [20:09] chalcedony, of course youll need to replace chalcedony with his username [20:09] pfifo, *smile* - yes that wasn't the scary part [20:10] TotalOblivionc, apt-cache search chm suggests a few [20:10] pfifo, should we check how much room he has on that hd first? [20:10] apt-get install gnochm [20:10] bazhang: and after that sudo apt-get install right? [20:10] TotalOblivionc, yep [20:10] chalcedony, ther is no copying or deleting, all your doing is renaming /home/chalcedony to /home/old [20:10] bazhang: thanks a lot man! :) [20:10] apt-get install chmsee [20:11] can you suggest any file finding utilty that works faster than find command [20:11] !find chm [20:11] Found: fetchmail, archmage, archmbox, chm2pdf, chmsee, fetchmailconf, kchmviewer, libbenchmark-ocaml-dev, libbenchmark-progressbar-perl, libbenchmark-timer-perl (and 12 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=chm&searchon=names&suite=oneiric§ion=all [20:11] CharminTheMoose, it installs the modules in /usr/lib/uname -r so get your kernel to where it can boot and then configure the way you want [20:11] Chaitanya: locate [20:12] locate cannot find files by size, date, etc [20:12] *hugs* ActionParsnip :)) good to see you [20:12] hello! [20:12] chalcedony: howdy :-) [20:12] :) [20:13] Somebody can hlp me please? [20:13] locate is faster than find command response but it cannot find files by size, date, etc. [20:13] !ask | Chaitanya [20:13] Chaitanya: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:13] Chaitanya: sorry, mistab. [20:13] csongor: Don't ask to ask, just ask. [20:13] csongor, with what [20:14] auronandace: the proprietary amd/ati driver has done the trick for zenbound2 [20:14] csongor: you'd need to explain your problem to get help [20:14] sorry [20:14] Chaitanya: you can pipe the results of locate to other commands to get size and date... [20:14] spych102: awesome, well done [20:14] pfifo, According to the makefile it installs it as: MODLIB = $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE). And /usr/lib/modules contains both 2.6.38 (stock ubuntu) and my own 2.6.39-sandbox directories with only the crypto modules in it. I'll just 'make modules' and hope for the best. :/ [20:15] auronandace: and it looks like the drivers are better than they were with my hardware === shadowh511-afk is now known as shadowh511 [20:16] auronandace: thanks for your help [20:16] can you give any example of piping the results of locate to any other command. I have done this find $(locate -d external.db "this is my file.txt"). But it doesn't print file names with spaces or special character [20:16] okay, so I cleaned out the partition I no longer need [20:16] pfifo, after we do this, what do we need to do? [20:16] quit [20:16] CharminTheMoose, wait was make modules_install your first make command? that would explain everything [20:16] spych102: no worries :) [20:16] there's only System Volume Information left [20:17] how much of a danger would it be to delete it and reclaim the space through GParted? [20:17] chalcedony, after wards, all your files will need to be moved from /home/old back into your new directory. youll want to omit configuration files that you absolutly do not need [20:18] pfifo, nope. I did 'make', built the kernel + modules. Then I went to do 'make modules_install'.. and the kernel only installs those crypto modules.. Despite the kernel building nearly everything as a module. [20:18] Trying to troubleshoot a NIS/NFS problem, got it narrowed down to "something's wrong with my NIS setup" (ypcat on master server can't display passwd.byname), but nothing in config files looks obviously wrong to me. Details in http://paste.ubuntu.com/891212/ including /var/log/syslog excerpts. Which configuration file(s) should I blame? [20:18] CharminTheMoose, ahh, then n/m [20:18] pfifo, i made a space on his 2nd hard drive to back it up to- would that help or not? [20:18] belgianguy: If you delete a partition, all files are lost. Only by a backup restore will you see the files again. It is an important system partition, you can make all the system unusable..... [20:18] chalcedony, that is not needed [20:19] Cheers. :) [20:19] mcb_1, I double checked, and made a backup^of what was on it (only pictures) [20:19] I isntalled ubuntu 10.10 mini cd and i want to create my own ubuntu without any programs i don't need. I installed a minimal gnome without any themes and i want to install ubuntu software center but the shell say's i must insall any dependecies and these dependencies dont i can't isntall these dependencies [20:19] but it's just a partition, not a whole HDD [20:19] pfifo, i see - let's see what happens :) [20:19] so I don't know how Windows will take the change [20:19] !remaster | csongor [20:19] csongor: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer?

As long as you alny mess with this partition and no other....

How is a system user different from a regular one? [20:22] doherty: system users don't need home folders [20:22] belgianguy: Just to be sure. You are messing in a Windows partiotion? If so, I cant be sure what will happen, it can be safe it is not the windows system partition, but this is what i think, i dont know for sure..... [20:24] mcb_1, I can't see any Windows folder in the other partitions of this HDD [20:24] my swap space is in the partition I want to delete though [20:24] but that shouldn't be a problem, right? === gevz is now known as Gevz [20:25] !ping [20:25] another contentless ping... sigh... === smf is now known as smallfoot- [20:25] can someone pfifo? remind me please of the command line command to reboot ? [20:26] chalcedony: to reboot the pc? [20:26] belgianguy: I never used a system without swap, and i must think that you can get problems if you use too much RAM and need to use swap space. It is not a good idea not to have a swap area. [20:26] as root, reboot [20:26] MrHanjrah, yes [20:26] I know, but I have 2 GB, which should be sufficient [20:26] ty [20:26] and I plan on reallocating swap space once the old NTFS partition is gone === Guest49732 is now known as joegazz84 [20:27] belgianguy: Nevertheless, you shoud do $swapoff before you start messing with the this partition. [20:27] chalcedony, i use `sudo init 6` [20:27] can I just "enlarge" my EXT4 partition? [20:27] ah, thanks [20:27] how can i remove the "chat" link from my notification thing ... i removed empathy and installed pidgin. [20:27] pfifo, thanks sudo reboot worked - it was at the login in the gui and i did your command via ssh .. let's see now [20:27] swap is off [20:27] mcb_1: you need swap for hibernate etc [20:28] goddard: the chat item will disappear once you restart the indicators (so log in/log out should do it) [20:28] oh.. ok let me give it a shot === quebre is now known as bash [20:28] Goddard: so make pidgin not use notifications? === bash is now known as quebre [20:29] ActionParsnip: But he want only to rezise the partition. So i think that a swapoff, resize end then swapon should be no problem. Whatt you think? [20:29] mcb_1: sounds fine if that is the plan :-) [20:30] ActionParsnip, that is the plan [20:30] I'm just wondering if Windows will accept that change as well [20:30] or if it'll cr*p itself if it can't find it [20:31] belgianguy: If you told is right, and that is your Linux swap partition, Windows will not even know that something has changed. [20:31] belgianguy: too much swap, so shrink swap then turn swap back on. With 2Gb RAM it should be ok [20:31] yeah, but the swap is only part of it, I'll upload a pic so I'm double sure [20:31] because I've broken it once [20:32] and it took me days to get it all back up [20:32] belgianguy: take a backup first [20:32] can anyone help me figure out what package Kubuntu power manager is so i can update a bug report [20:32] this is in 12.04 [20:33] tbruff13: 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 until released [20:33] auronandace: i know but i assume the package name is the same as in other versions [20:34] belgianguy: You cant have something else in the same partition as the Linux Swap....... Can you?????? I never heard of it. You may have more than partition on the same disk, but a Linux Swap Partition will be only good for that and nothing else. As far as i can tell. Please tell me otherwise. [20:34] tbruff13: dangerous to make assumtions [20:34] auronandace: i am waiting in that channel [20:34] tbruff13: still in #ubuntu+1 til release please [20:34] ActionParsnip: ok [20:34] sorry [20:34] mcb_1, true, I'm uploadin a pic of GParted [20:35] pfifo, where is 'home/old' ? it doesn't show in ls [20:36] chalcedony, its /home/old not home/old [20:36] chalcedony: you mean /home/old [20:36] ok .. looking [20:36] http://i39.tinypic.com/w0ial1.png [20:36] the big part on the right should go/shrink [20:36] but it contains the swap (red) [20:37] the left blue part is the current Ubuntu allocated space [20:37] i have a pcie 4 port serial card. everytime i login i have to insmod to get the driver to work. is there a way i can get the card to work without using the insmod command?

[20:37] which is running out [20:37] I'm attempting to install Ubuntu on a new laptop, it is already partitioned, however, the /dev/sda4 that I want to install it on has 'no root file system defined'. sda2 is ntfs, === stephan is now known as smellis [20:37] I'm within the Ubuntu installer, do I change/delete/revert the sda4 partition? [20:38] pfifo, oh ok goody! now i see them! [20:38] Cache_Money: you need to pick a partition to use as / [20:38] pfifo, cp (or mv) directory > what? [20:39] chalcedony, are you able to log in I assume? [20:39] Is there a guide or how to tips for hardening and securing an Ubuntu server, exposed to the internet, in the cloud? [20:39] auronandace: I want to use sda4. [20:39] /dev/sda4 [20:39] pfifo, yes logged in with my husband's login in the gui :) [20:39] Cache_Money: what filesystem is on sda4? [20:40] auronandace /dev/sda [20:40] pfifo, but like we all know, command line is faster ;) [20:40] Cache_Money: what filesystem, ext4? [20:40] auronandace: how do I find that? I'm within the Ubuntu installer currently [20:41] Cache_Money: show us a screenshot [20:41] hey guys, i isntalled ubuntu in vmware, how do i install the vmware program so I can have shared folders? [20:41] chalcedony, good, now there is a file (or directory) in that /home/old that is causing the problem, you dont want to move that back over or else the problem will reappear. So youll want to move stuff one directory (or file) at a time. [20:41] i clicked install vmware tools and it mounted, but when i try to open the virtual cd drive it tells me [20:41] not authorized [20:41] pfifo, yes i understand :) [20:41] john__, open it as root? [20:41] belgianguy:look my private msg. I will try to write a lot there.

[20:42] auronandace: sorry. http://imagebin.org/204252 [20:42] Cache_Money: you need to format it [20:42] chalcedony, I recommend using nautilus to move stuff little by little testing along the way. [20:43] pfifo, that makes sense, yes - except that Adobe 9 thing.. he's going to have to find something else to do with pdfs. [20:43] auronandace: I'm currently booted off a USB. Do I need to go back into Windows to do that or can I do it from the Ubuntu installer?

[20:44] gr33n7007h: no need to complicate matters, he can do it from the installer [20:44] auronandace, sorry [20:44] and pfifo my initial question is where am i copying things TO? === Mud is now known as Guest30177 [20:45] moonunitzappa: don't hurt me for suggesting this: gimp [20:45] auronandace: should I use as: Ext3 journaling file system ? [20:45] gre33n7007h: Should I run that command from the terminal? [20:45] Cache_Money: or ext4 yes, and make it / as the mountpoint [20:45] hi, can someone tell me if the latest drivers frmo jockey support nvidia 630m ? [20:46] auronandace: which do you suggest? ext3 or ext4? [20:46] chalcedony, to the new home directory. [20:46] gaiieeez [20:46] Cache_Money: i use ext4, its the default [20:46] pfifo, ok and how can i test them in nautilus? [20:46] does ubuntu work on i686? [20:46] chalcedony: hiya! getting all sorted out I hope. [20:46] wylde, good day to you :) [20:47] wylde, what a long strange trip it's been ;) [20:47] Cache_Money: also 512gb is rather big for your ubuntu partition, planning on using up all that space? [20:47] * Cache_Money is formatting his hard drive [20:47] chalcedony, it really doesnt matter, you could leave them in /home/old if you wanted, or move them to the backup partition you wanted. You dont test in nautilus, every so ofte log out and back in to make sure you did copy the bad configs over [20:47] chalcedony: no doubt, I imagine you needed to do a re-install of the OS? [20:47] auronandace: No, but the laptop came with 1TB hard drive.. [20:47] how do I tell if a usb port on front of my computer is working and what the number is? [20:47] auronandace, I use gimp for img editing didnt know if could do f lash [20:47] wylde, no [20:48] wylde, umm no.. moved home! [20:48] Totally new to flash, have no idea where to begin [20:48] moonunitzappa: oh, flash, sorry misunderstood you [20:48] chalcedony: excellent!

[20:49] auronandace: What does this mean? http://imagebin.org/204257 [20:49] moonunitzappa: flash is made by adobe so i don't know of any open source flash editors (if thats what you call them) [20:49] wonderman, gt630m is an optimus/hybrid design, so you need bumblebee/ironhide drivers [20:49] auronandace: openlaszlo can build flash files from a custom xml format [20:50] but flash is an outdated technology anyway these days, its all about html5 [20:50] how do i tell what ports are in use? [20:50] Mongoose: sudo netstat -vatnp [20:50] tnx [20:50] dlentz: can you explain more? [20:50] the p on the end tells you what program is running on what port [20:51] Cache_Money: it means you need to recreate the partition [20:51] i am getting a kernel error on boot, i am getting round it with 'nomodeset' as i used to have problems with an older laptop and this worked before [20:51] auronandace: I deleted the partition and I'm creating a new one with EXT4. Should the 'type for the new partition:' be Primary or Logical ? [20:51] Cache_Money: delete that partition and make a new one in that space [20:51] Logical is default [20:51] is anyone using gnome shell instead of unity? [20:51] Cache_Money: stick with logical [20:51] esmirlin: yes [20:52] wired_: which version? [20:52] and how do you have it configured?

[20:58] auronandace: I want to assign a swap partition to the 8gb SSD -- in case I need to hibernate. It's unclear how to assign the swap partition [20:59] unless it's going to mess things up since I'm dual booting [20:59] Cache_Money: you make a partition just like you did with the new ext4 partition you made [20:59] Cache_Money: its just a different file system:swap [21:00] auronandace: Ubuntu installer doesn't give me that option.. Oh well, sounds too difficult [21:00] Cache_Money: msdos partitioned drives support 4 primary partitions, to use more than 4 you need to have an extended partition into which you can make multiple logical partitions [21:01] anyone know how I could safely expand sdb4 in this scenario: http://i39.tinypic.com/w0ial1.png [21:01] Cache_Money: you can't make more partitions if you don't have unallocated space [21:02] sdb3 can go, I've turned swap off and sdb5 is empty now [21:02] SASL Enable === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk [21:02] belgianguy: resize sda5 then move the swap and then resize sda3 then resize sda4 [21:03] auronandace: that makes sense. I doubt I'd use hibernation anyway [21:03] auronandace, and would I need to update GRUB (this is a dual boot machine) [21:03] Cache_Money: ok, i don't either so i don't have a swap partition [21:03] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: gconf2 (>= 2.28.1-2) trying to install deepin-scrot to ubuntu 10.04 [21:04] belgianguy: i don't think so [21:04] belgianguy: unless you are removing/adding operating systems then no [21:04] gconf2 is installed [21:05] auronandace, no I'm not adding or removing OS'es, but sdb4 is the one that is running Ubuntui [21:05] can I resize it while it's "in use"?

If you can use the regular installer, you can use that to tell it how much of your current ubuntu partition you want to "take away" for the new install.

I think that tinkering around with a pretty well out-of-the-box setup is a good place to start. After you get the hang of the basics you can move on. Then you can go to something like a server setup and build on that to suit yourself and then try Gentoo and LFS if you really want to sit and watch stuff compile.

[21:28] jsebean, if you got haced you need to format everything and reinstall the OS [21:28] pfifo: i already tried everything, i disabled the firewall, added the rules to allow in from 6112 to 6119 and still [21:28] Does anyone have experience with the unity dock in 12.04?

Do i need to change a setting in BIOS?

This is a Ghostscript issue. :( [22:13] OerHeks: thanks [22:13] For some reason I keep getting "Unable to load times-roman font [22:13] " [22:14] are there any current light weight image editors? similar to irfanview but without running wine?

Heres what I like about irfanview. I open it, hit ctrl V, and bam got my screenshot right there ready to work on. It has a tool bar to draw lines and makes boxes for tutorial type screenshots. Without being as advanded as gimp can anyone think of anything simple like that? [22:30] dlentz: ok i'll try that! thanks :) I'll keep you informed. :) [22:31] Unity sucks! [22:31] why? [22:31] satoshi_: this is not the right place for such rants. [22:32] dlentz: Hey again. I'm on Windows now. The problem doesn't occur here at all, so it is definitely an Ubuntu issue. [22:33] Too long to find what you need with the search field... [22:33] Zaitzev, that's good news [22:33] in a way, it is [22:34] at least it's not a hardware issue.

"Can't find (or can't open) font file /usr/share/ghostscript/9.04/Resource/Font/Courier." does this for helvetica, and times-roman as well... [22:36] Yeah ripper. [22:37] Zaitzev, then you hsould try some lightweight environment like lxde just to see [22:37] dlentz: Uh, what? [22:37] ripper_, 12.04 is still beta [22:37] instead of using unity log in to lxde [22:37] dalek_, ctrl alt F2?

[22:45] fubsi, thats the problem, after it crashes, so does X [22:45] diskinetic: are you on single or multiple monitors?

[22:47] ripper_ reinstallation [22:48] CFHowlett_, there has to be another way [22:48] Quantum_Ion yes, but better ask that in the channel i just gave [22:48] ripper_, I dont know [22:48] ripper_: 12.04 is not supported in this channel, /join #ubuntu+1 for that [22:48] Quantum_Ion april 26 [22:48] ripper_, best is: data backup and reinstall [22:48] q [22:48] exit [22:49] MonkeyDust, thanks [22:49] howto quit irssis?

Is there any way I can still install sun-java6-jre via a package rather than configuring everything manually? [23:00] I'd much rather have a package to install so it's easier to remove and will work automatically for all users, provided that update-alternatives is set. [23:00] I know there is no more sun-java6-jre package in the Multiverse repository but is there a 3rd party one that hosts it? [23:01] gdea73 sun-java is no longer adviced, use open-java [23:01] open-java is certified compatible [23:01] dumnut, This is also a good command for checking memory on your system - > sudo dmidecode --type memory [23:02] MonkeyDust: okay thanks, though I found it anyway, it was ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java ;) [23:02] though wait, are you saying that openjava executes Java code the exact same as Sun Java (performance-wise)? Will I not find any incompatibilities with Java apps or performance drops? [23:02] gdea73 oracle no longer supports java for linux [23:02] what?? well they still *provide* it, don't they? Their repository still works ... [23:03] so for example, would OpenJDK be sufficient for Minecraft server hosting, etc.? [23:03] no java for linux? thats crazy [23:03] MonkeyDust, that is not actually correct [23:03] sun java* [23:03] no proprietary Sun java, is what he was saying. But they still have it to some degree, right? [23:03] right. [23:04] i am running oracle 7 [23:04] itaylor57: oracle 7 what? [23:04] MonkeyDust, That is not true check here - > http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html [23:04] i am running oracle 7 java [23:05] itaylor57, Me too [23:05] where's the default plugin directory, where I'd find libnpjp2.so? [23:05] itaylor57: ok, consider, oracle makes a lot of products...you need to be specific [23:05] Previously, I was having trouble booting into Ubuntu, WIndows would boot automatically. Now, when I ran the Boot-Repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair My computer automatically boots into Windows. Why can't I bring up an option to choose? [23:05] MonkeyDust, Check this out - > http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux [23:05] ^ I can't find the file libnpjp2.so. I thought that's what it was called... [23:05] Cache_Money, Might have to reinstall grub [23:06] gdea73, Are you 64bit or 32bit ? [23:06] 64bit [23:06] I installed sun-java6-plugin, but I can't find the .so file to copy/link into Opera's plugin directory. [23:06] Cache_Money easiest way to get the menu is to press the shift key after P.O.S.T. completes [23:06] Quantum_Ion: I thought I just did that.. maybe it was GRUB2. Is there a difference? [23:07] Cache_Money grub is not grub2 [23:07] grub2 is default since 9.10 IIRC [23:07] Quantum_Ion gdea73 itaylor57 offtopic: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/java-to-be-removed-from-ubuntu-uninstalled-from-user-machines/ [23:08] gdea73, Uninstall sun-java6-plugin and follow this - > http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux [23:08] whoa weird [23:08] aww I don't want to do it manually, Quantum_Ion... lol [23:08] it should work fine installed by a package I just can't find the plugin file. [23:08] actually the JRE works fine, I just need the plugin. [23:09] java -version recognizes Sun Java the way I did it (installing from the ppa ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java) [23:10] gdea73, This is -> ‘sun-java-6′ package is garbage follow this - > http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux [23:10] CFHowlett_ : Pressing SHIFT didn't work. How do I reinstall grub? [23:10] !grub2|cache_money [23:10] cache_money: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[23:11] I installed Java 6 via apt-get. I just can't find the plugin. [23:11] oh ok 1s [23:12] a lot of permission denied errors... [23:12] and no results, afaik [23:12] CFHowlett_: Because I'm having so much trouble trying to dual boot, what do you think of the idea of just installing Ubunut on my computer and runnings Windows 7 in a VirtualBox on the few instances that I need it.. [23:12] Never mind, got it, thanks Quantum_Ion. [23:12] gdea73: yeah, find isn't the ideal way to get to your file [23:13] Cache_Money so long as you uderstand the VBox option will run slower than a native installation, I think it's a reasonable compromise [23:13] gdea73, run the command as root ? [23:13] Cache_Money, as long as whatever you are doing in Windows can tolerate the performance hit of running in a VM, it's a great way to go. It's what I do most of the time. [23:13] I got it to work now, Quantum_Ion [23:13] Cache_Money: personally, i prefer XP for those few instances [23:13] Cache_Money IOW, we won't hate you :) [23:13] only problem is the version I installed was update 21, but I don't realy care [23:13] * really. -_- [23:13] I need to smoke some spinach [23:14] lol, you know it [23:14] ...

Currently, win7 is balking. The windows hiccup has caused grub to also hiccup meaning I have to terminal boot grub each time. This adds 15 seconds to boot. Eventually, I'll get it back to normal.
