[00:00] jbreher: you don't login to the gui as "root" [00:00] jbreher: the root account is disabled [00:01] I understand - but when I launch (e.g.) Synaptic, it prompts for pw. I enter, it kicks me. Same pw works in shell [00:01] jbreher: your user account needs to be a member of the "admin" group [00:02] ikonia - thanks - I'll check [00:02] beandog, what do i do next is that fileit [00:02] groups reports I am a member of admin [00:03] jbreher: so if you do "sudo apt-get update" it prompts you for a password and works fine ? [00:03] ikonia - correct. the shell recognizes the pw. the gui does not [00:03] jbreher: how are you launching the gui applications ? [00:04] jbreher: eg: system -> administration menu ? [00:04] from the menu launcher (e.g. System > Administration > Synaptic...) [00:04] jbreher: test it "gksudo synaptic" [00:05] ikonia: you mean launch by entering 'gksudo synaptic' in shell? [00:05] yes [00:06] ikonia: prompts for pw, I enter, launches Synaptic in GUI [00:07] so I guess that is a clue, but now how to fix? [00:07] tbruff13: whats that?

[00:11] beandog, it is not skipping songs in banshee [00:11] tbruff13: does banshee normally work with that? [00:12] beandog, in mint it did [00:12] in mint every song application i had worked with those keys [00:13] beandog, let me finish this guide out for setting it up with KDE before i file a bug [00:13] will songbird ever be supported again by ubuntu [00:13] tbruff13: check this out too, I gotta run: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Multimedia_Keys [00:13] beandog, already did thanks [00:15] tbruff13: np, good luck. Just worry about getting the keypress events registered first (hittting fn+f12 actually returns a keycode).

It is connected to a gigabyte switch any help would be greatly appreciated thanks [02:35] drbrownbear: I've never used lightscribe, even on the computers capable.

[02:42] sh -c "/path/to/windows/app && mono windows-app.exe" and you check the option "run as terminal" [02:42] but if you don't want to do it do this: [02:42] in the section "workspace path" you put the directory where the .exe file is /path/to/windows/app [02:43] and then in the command section i put -> mono app.exe [02:48] Its...quiet...?

[06:13] and dosen''t proceed [06:14] i am using it in a shell script [06:14] which channel would i go to if i have a unique idea for ubuntu [06:14] chroot might be executing an incorrect grep or searching in the wrong place [06:15] ketterer brainstorm.ubuntu.com [06:15] thankyou [06:15] any reason why two directories have the *exact* same permissions but one can't be cd'ed into?

[06:34] collinjsimpson: different owners maybe? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [06:38] collinjsimpson: another possibility is that is the directory is a subdirectory of a dir with different privs than the other compared dir === shadowh511 is now known as JohnMadden === JohnMadden is now known as shadowh511 === shadowh511 is now known as aeiou [06:39] I'm looking to setup rcp (insecure I know), but I'm getting Permission Denied every time I've tried.

[06:41] I am aware of the many methods of creating a custom removeable w/ a rw partition, but it doesn't allow for an upgrade, in particular, will fail at initramfs and new kenel install [06:41] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent step_offset [06:41] SumoJim: seems rcp just redirects you to scp so you will need an ssh-server installed on the server side to work [06:42] bazhang: I have persistence working fine, but you can't perform a complete upgrade [06:43] Jordan_U: are you sure this works? [06:43] step_offset: Yes. [06:43] step_offset, so get the new system and use that to create a persistent one [06:43] thanks, Jordan_U [06:43] step_offset: You're welcome.

[06:46] rajarshi, the name of the package you downloaded [06:47] sun java wireless tolkit 2_5_1 linux.bin [06:47] rajarshi, what do you need that for? better to install from ubuntu repos [06:48] what is this??? [06:48] ubuntu repos? [06:48] ??? [06:49] rajarshi, the normal way to install software on ubuntu is from the software repos, not 3rd party websites [06:49] !repos | rajarshi [06:49] rajarshi: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [06:49] rajarshi: investigate 'apt-cache search myRepoName'? [06:53] Has anyone tried Ubuntu+xbmc+spotify? [06:54] rajarshi: it looks like you just run the installer bin file after you have installed java jdk http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/installing-sun-java-wireless-toolkit-bin-file-572168/ [06:55] hi [06:56] I followed these intrustions to set up mailman on my system: http://systers.org/systers-dev/doku.php/development_environment_on_ubuntu_9.10 [06:56] http://askubuntu.com/questions/108530/tools-for-java-development-on-ubuntu-11-10 rajarshi you mean this?

[06:58] rajarshi, that link says no [06:58] kkk [06:58] so what to install frm dat [06:58] link [06:58] ?? [06:59] rajarshi, read the link, follow the instructions [06:59] bazhang: I now have a user account called "mailman" on my system and have some changed config settings, Is there a way to reverse all of this? [06:59] How do I enable that rotating cube desktop in ubuntu 11.10 using gnome? [07:00] Xabster-lap, got ccsm installed? [07:00] yes i believe so [07:00] yes i do, starting it now [07:02] bazhang, if my gfx card doesn't do opengl can I still use it but laggy?

[07:03] Xabster-lap: If you're using GNOME shell then it's not possible. [07:03] rajarshi, what version of ubuntu are you on? [07:03] bazhang: Something like System Restore in Windows? [07:03] 11.10 [07:03] j504, no system restore, just remove the packages you installed === companion is now known as Companion [07:04] rajarshi, then you should have the necessary repos installed; however with Sun Java you need to follow the instructions on that askubuntu link [07:05] bazhang, Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [07:05] that's all i could get from lshw [07:05] i have installed the sun java 1.6 version ..only i need dat sun java wirelees toolkit...is it instaled already??? [07:05] Xabster-lap, what about from lspci [07:06] rajarshi, for cldc? [07:06] cldc???? [07:06] dont have any idea about cldc?? [07:06] same info, bazhang [07:07] Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.1 for CLDC rajarshi [07:07] Xabster-lap, please pastebin the out put from lspci to paste.ubuntu.com === Companion is now known as companion [07:08] sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_1-linux.bin <---- rajarshi from the link I gave you [07:09] bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/893280/ [07:09] i have already downloaded it..but not able to install it [07:09] ??? [07:11] http://askubuntu.com/questions/82327/compiz-issues-on-intel-integrated-graphics-chips Xabster-lap this may help [07:11] okay, i just googled my model number, it's a Intel GMA 4500M [07:11] scararlson: Just noticed I missed your message do you know of a way to prevent rcp from redirecting to scp? [07:11] chmod +x sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_1-linux.bin [07:11] ./sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_1-linux.bin [07:11] rajarshi, see above [07:12] so i have to run it in my terminal now?? [07:12] is there a safe way to lower your CPU clockspeed for power saving? [07:12] rajarshi, I simply copy and pasted exactly from the link I gave you [07:12] SumoJim: Why do you want to use rcp? [07:12] rajarshi, if you actually read the link, then you can know what to do [07:12] Because it's what our company uses. I know it's insecure, it's not up to me though. [07:13] bazhang,but it shows in the terminal no such file or directory [07:14] cannot access sun java wireless toolkit it shows??? [07:14] At this point, I'll do whatever I can to get it to work. I tried looking into scp, unfortunately no luck on that front either. [07:14] rajarshi, you need to be in the same directory, like on you r Desktop , or where ever you downloaded it to [07:15] There will be no access to internet or anything outside of network, so no need for security. [07:15] i kept it in my desktop [07:15] SumoJim: You can't even use tftp, http, or other simple protocal which is still widely used and thus well supported? [07:15] rajarshi, it's Desktop with a capital D [07:15] rajarshi, so go to that directory [07:16] Jordan_U not sure how I would use that, I need to issue updates from a host machine to slave machines. [07:17] SumoJim: What OS are the slave machines running, and what type of updates? Usually updates require more than a simple file copy. [07:17] Hey, is it enough to place the upstart configuration in /etc/init to register a task for system start? [07:18] Jordan_U: All machines are linux, they are simply configuration files for our simulation program so they will all run the same scenario and settings. [07:19] SumoJim: Why not have the machines wget new files from an http server. For that matter, why can't you use scp? Does your company actively disallow use of protocals other than rcp? [07:19] Jordan_U: In the souce, I tracked the program crash to be that a script it launches is failing. [07:20] hey all new kid n town jus wanna say i left win7 and i love ubuntu alot :) [07:20] bazhang, even when I enable rotating cube I got the "wall" thingy where, if i press ctrl+alt+down, I can switch to a secondary desktop [07:20] but nothing else works - I checked the keyboard bindings and I'm clicking the right stuff [07:21] Jordan_U: The other computers will have no way of knowing what files they need. [07:21] Xabster-lap, wall plugin needs to be disabled with cube on [07:21] Jordan_U: Maybe better stated, when they will need them. [07:22] yes and it is, bazhang, it does that automatically [07:22] but it still works even when disabled [07:22] i don't know if it's some sort of fallback cause no opengl support [07:22] Jordan_U: That is, without re-writing our current program initilization. [07:23] Jordan_U: Which could take months, so that's not an option. [07:24] Xabster-lap, not sure there, according to the askubuntu post, modifying grub will allow you to use compiz; perhaps #compiz can give a better answer [07:30] hey all noob here is conky pretty easy to fix up? [07:30] SumoJim: How did your company manage to install an rcp daemon in the first place? [07:30] Can I update upstart even though I'm using ubuntu 10.10? [07:30] number_one_1, sure [07:31] number_one_1, need to see the beginners guide?

[07:36] Xabster-lap, perhaps a PPA [07:36] I can download from the GUI in ubuntu but the web interface won't connect to peers for some reason. It's the strangest thing [07:36] what does PPA stand for bazhang ?

[07:39] Well CFHowlett, the GUI version of the program works fine. The web daemon doesn't [07:39] dan3son, sounds like you need to adjust the port number [07:39] dan3son ah, ok, ports adjustment [07:40] How to display the files in the folder which are of size 0?

I can't seem to find it in the repo. I'm using 11.10 with gnome-shell [07:41] number_one_1, in case of kernel update you need to reboot [07:41] I'm think it's a permissions issue with the daemon.

[07:45] I've changed locale to denmark in language support '/etc/environment' '/etc/default/locale', but I still see date format like 'wed mar 21 12:34' instead of iso format [07:45] Any insights? [07:45] raketti, how are you starting it now? [07:45] oh, that's only in terminal, in gui applications like nautilus are already right [07:45] ecthiender look in the software center - LOTS of notes apps are available [07:46] Abhijit: startx [07:47] CFHowlett, yes there is knotes, and xpad and lots. I am looking for sticky notes for gnome. (damn. don't even know the package name) [07:47] ecthiender xjournal is pretty handy [07:47] raketti, please do uname -a in terminal and tell me the output [07:48] CFHowlett, is it like sticky? stick em up on your desktop? [07:48] Abhijit: can i get the output straight here? using irsssi... [07:48] ecthiender look in software and then go the site shown for more info.

[07:55] bazhang, thanks. but i was specifically looking for sticky notes. its an applet. this one: http://library.gnome.org/users/stickynotes_applet/stable/stickynotes-introduction.html.en [07:56] and i can't seem find it in the repo [07:56] Xabster-lap, yeah, I would either stick with what ubuntu repos offer, or get the PPA for that card. you have to extract that package contents and follow the instructions on the read me file [07:56] ecthiender, and it was removed [07:57] bazhang, oh. thanks. that was the insight I needed :) [07:57] ecthiender, trying to suggest an alternative, like knotes or xpad, tomboy perhaps [07:57] Shit I fixed it. [07:57] bazhang, think I'll go with xpad [07:57] Hello all [07:57] though tomboy is way more than stick notes [07:57] I just had to restart the daemon [07:57] bazhang, yeah. we all know about tomboy [07:57] /Nick faceitone [07:57] I have a Debian/Ubuntu question for you guys though, an easy one [07:57] 额 大家好 [07:58] hey noob ? here do u need a ccleaner for linux? [07:58] I installed the daemon and in /etc/default/transmission-daemon it's configured 'ENABLE_DAEMON=1' [07:58] And I an stop/start it with /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon [07:58] My question is, how does Ubuntu start up my daemons at boot? [07:59] dan3son, in startup applications? add it there? === Chat9598 is now known as Facitonne [07:59] Where is the master list of processes to load stored? In windows this would typically be done in the registry [07:59] ye its english here, #ubuntu-cn for chinese [07:59] It's magic [07:59] dan3son: update-rc.d [07:59] Facitonne, what is [08:00] number_one_1, ccleaner is a registry cleaner? something like that? [08:00] bleachbit [08:00] ? [08:00] Thanks Aciid [08:03] anyone got comment? [08:03] Hello [08:03] hi Foo [08:03] I'm setting up some server software on a computer running ubuntu [08:03] I'm following this guide: http://funnymonkey.com/install-geoserver-ubuntu [08:04] number_one_1, about what? [08:04] do i need a cleaner for linux? like ccleaner for win? [08:04] number_one_1, apt will recommend you remove packages when necessary [08:04] oh ok [08:04] How do I edit a printer in the printer settings? [08:04] Hi, I am writing a intro how to lab for snort. I have installed everything nicely and it appears to be working as it is generating logs when I portscan using nmap. Can anyone suggest and simple apt-get install type utilities for ubuntu that will run random hacks. I really just want to generate a whole bunch of different alerts on my snort IDS. Thanks [08:05] I can't figure out how to do it [08:05] JordanU: rcp Seemed to just work on Fedora 10, but we are just moving to Ubuntu. [08:05] I have a problem though, in short the guide instructs you to create a link "/etc/init.d/geoserver" that links to geoserver/bin/initd.sh [08:05] I wanna change it to duplex [08:05] roy_m: BackTrack is very useful for those kinds of things. [08:05] any one? === sith is now known as Guest75809 [08:06] Is there any way to kick users out of a mounted directory so the directory can be unmounted (without logging off the users)? [08:06] but when I try starting it up, "sudo /etc/init.d/geoserver start" I get an error: "sudo: unable to execute /etc/init.d/geoserver: No such file or directory" [08:06] how can i get the title bar of kubuntu?? [08:06] collinjsimpson: Yeah, I know but it is a 2 hour lab tutorial and backtrack takes time to install on ubuntu... [08:06] collinjsimpson, fuser -k [08:06] collinjsimpson: not really, no [08:06] collinjsimpson, if you are root then you can do umount [08:07] collinjsimpson, don't listen to ssta, use fuser [08:07] Abhijit: umount doesnt work when users are using the resource. I need to get them out of the resource first. [08:07] collinjsimpson, maybe I will just use a backtrack live cd [08:07] workcjk: which will kill the user's shell... [08:07] any body familiar with kde desktop? === lukas is now known as Guest70072 [08:07] Guest75809, yes [08:08] ssta, exactle "kick users out of a mounted dir" [08:08] workcjk: that helps identify what's using the resource. it doesnt help in freeing the resource [08:08] exactly [08:08] workcjk: "...without logging them out" [08:08] collinjsimpson, man fuser [08:08] Foo438: is the link created correctly, is there really a file/link in /etc/init.d/geoserver ? [08:09] workcjk: 'fuser -k' would kill bash for all users using the resource, kicking them out of SSH. [08:09] olegb: yes I'm quite confident in that [08:09] anyway, does anyone know how to "edit" a printer in the printer settings in 11.10 [08:09] bazhang, ok i found a PPA matching what I need and I added it as a repo - how do I install? :) [08:09] Foo438: and it shows up when you do "ls /etc/init.d/" ? [08:09] I really think it is stupid if I have to delete it and create it again. [08:10] olegb: yup. btw I've tried using both a symlink and a hard one, no difference [08:10] collinjsimpson, how many users are you talking about? [08:11] collinjsimpson: Does a lazy unmount solve your particular issue? [08:11] collinjsimpson, can you tell them to cd, cause otherwise, either kill them or don't unmount. [08:11] workcjk: Arbitrary. The amount of users doesn't affect the way I'll go about solving the problem... [08:11] collinjsimpson: you can try to umount -f (which may or may not work, depending on what sort of mount it is) [08:11] Foo438: and geoserver/bin/initd.sh also exists ? you may need to used the full path to the file .. [08:12] olegb: yep, the "target" file exists [08:12] Hi [08:13] Foo438: I would go through geoserver/bin/initd.sh and see if the problem is that the script tries to open a non-existing file [08:13] collinjsimpson: If it's media which you need to remove safely, then a lazy unmount won't help. If you just need to mount something else there though, a lazy unmount is probably the way to go (anyone whos current directory is under the mountpoint during the umount will continue using the old filesystem until they cd. When all users are no longer using the filesystem it will actually be unmounted). [08:13] I have Genius MousePen 8x6, which was working pretty well, but after some updates (i havent been using it for a few weeks) it dos not work at all and it is not event listed in lsusb output, any clue pls? [08:15] Jordan_U: That's good to know. It's a shame there seems to be no way of redirecting user shell locations. [08:15] Okay. Now I'm having a permissions problem [08:15] collinjsimpson: That' [08:15] I tried moving the download folder to /srv/torrents because my samba folder is located in /srv/samba and it'd make it convenient to move files within an FTP client [08:15] collinjsimpson: ... That's not the only problem. You also have anyone with any file open (in any utility). [08:16] The transmission daemon obviously doens't have proper permissions to create files/folders within /srv/torrents (I had to sudo to create the directory) [08:16] What can I do? [08:16] Jordan_U: Sorry, I understand. I was using the term loosely. [08:17] collinjsimpson: Why do you need to unmount the filesystem, what type of filesystem is it? (to help see what your options are). === lukas_ is now known as Guest41961 [08:19] 'transmission-da' is being run by user 116 [08:19] What does that mean? [08:19] Jordan_U: I'm using bindfs and fstab to share a directory among a set of users. In order for changes in fstab to take effect, I need to remount the filesystem. [08:20] collinjsimpson: -o remount doesn't help? [08:20] ssta: Correct. [08:21] collinjsimpson: I don't know of a way to do what you want then...sorry [08:21] ssta: I guess it's understandable that it's (apparently) not possible to do. Lots of complications involved. [08:22] Question: Is not holding down "shift" during boot of Ubuntu supposed to let me access grub boot menu? [08:22] collinjsimpson: I don't know that it's impossible (although I suspect it is). Be interesting to see if you can find a way [08:22] mattiasnorlander: Holding shift during boot should get you the grub menu. [08:23] mattiasnorlander: Yes it is, I think (from memory) its only left shift that does that though [08:23] ssta: That's why I used the "apparently" qualifier :). I'll keep an eye out for a solution. [08:23] ssta, Jordan_U: Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. [08:24] collinjsimpson: If you want an ugly hack to keep them from losing their ssh session but still kill their shell, add something like this to their ~/.bashrc (after lots of testing to avoid infinite loops)... [08:26] Jordan_U: DJones: trying left shift without result. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 minimal. TV just goes black after bios splashscreen until "Ubuntu starting..." splashscreen is shown [08:26] collinjsimpson: if [[ "$hacky_second_shell_started" != true ]]; then hacky_second_shell_started=true; export hacky_second_shell_started; bash; fi [08:26] ewwww, yuck! [08:27] ssta: Yuck, indeed. Interesting, though. [08:29] Hey folks. I'm having problems with localization in 11.10 (unity). I've installed language-pack-lt package, however language support does not how lithuanian in supported languages. Any ideas? [08:29] it will work, but you might run into problems if users have their own .bashrc hacks (eg to start stuff upon login) [08:29] and...eeewww! [08:29] anwyay, worktime. Good luck with it collinjsimpson [08:30] if i installed something using make install how can i uninstall it? [08:30] ssta: Thanks for the help. Have fun at work. [08:30] I doubt it...going to spend most of the day writing vbscript hacks [08:31] window [08:31] ssta: Ok, then have a mediocre day at work. Better? [08:31] oops :> [08:31] haha, I'll try. Thanks :) [08:32] goddard, you can try make uninstall but few packages have that target [08:32] otherwise.... rm? [08:32] Just installed Linux for the first time tonight. Ubuntu using Gnome Classic. [08:32] douglaslucas: Congrats. Welcome to the matrix. [08:32] hi [08:33] quit [08:33] * kylesum pats douglaslucas on the back [08:33] thanks. :) :) [08:34] douglaslucas: Is ubuntu now your primary OS? [08:34] Hows everyone doing? [08:35] Not doing much, but doing. [08:35] I plan for it to be, yes collin [08:36] collinjsimpson I can say the same. I've been programming and just looked at the clock and its 430 :( [08:36] douglaslucas: You're a better man than I. I don't think I'd manage in terms of recreation. [08:36] iMeerkat: It's 4:30 over here as well. Class at 8. [08:37] My machine is a MacBook Pro7,1 with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 320m. I installed nvidia-current from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates as suggested by the help.ubuntu.com for my model & Ocelot, but that caused my screen to blip out in so many ways that i had to reinstall ocelot [08:37] Ouch. I have class at 5.. pm lol [08:37] Am curious if any has suggestions as to how i could tackle getting the right driver for ocelot and my card [08:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Oneiric [08:39] iMeerkat: right, that's the one I was looking at and followed [08:40] Whats going on with the video? [08:41] iMeerkat: when I rebooted, the screen would blip out (a flash of a horizontal line) and go black. the machine would power off. nothing in reserve mode could fix it (that I could figure out, anyway) [08:42] exit [08:42] iMeerkat: the things I did in reserve mode eventually led to the screen blipping out again [08:42] What could be the reason that I can 'id ldap-username' as a regular user, but if I sudo the same command, the ldap user is not recognised ? [08:42] I have a schell script that does sep to sync a file from a remote server. My ssh key is on the remote server, and I can ssh without needing a password. When I run the sep command from the terminal, it works. When Iit runs from inside the base script, it asks for a password... [08:42] Why doesn't it use my ssh key? [08:45] sorry it took me so long douglaslucas had to let the dog out I would try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro6-2/Oneiric#Video_.26_Effects_.28Compiz.29 [08:46] no problem iMeerkat. Looking at the link now [08:47] how do I update upstart? [08:47] apt-get install upstart? [08:48] sammmy: if not, try 'apt-get update' [08:49] is there some major incompatabilities with upstart's latest version and the one I got 0.6.0? [08:49] 0.6.6 [08:50] sammmy: current version is 1.4, so an update from 0.6.6 might be substantial. Check the changelog: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [08:50] hi [08:50] Or is that the latest version? [08:50] wtf?) [08:51] Hey everyone [08:51] sammmy: Depending on how much 'legacy' support you need for upstart, you might not notice a change.

I'll keep that in mind [09:04] Kartagis: don't know sorry, i've never needed to recover files [09:05] Not sure what happened, I think I closed this channel window [09:05] So with System Settings -> Hardware -> Additional Drivers, I don't see anything for NVIDIA [09:05] Hi AndyUbuntu collinjsimpson anonymous_ sammy collinjsimpson can u please comment on http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/2796 ???

[09:07] douglaslucas, maybe you need to enable the mac ppa >> https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter= [09:08] Syria: i recomend you use whatever suits you best, xfce suits me best [09:08] Syria, guess what ? 11.10 comes with gnome3 [09:08] Syria: to find out what suits you try them out [09:09] Syria: yes try it out. i use kde [09:09] how do you use forever to start node-inspector?

[09:17] fine :) thanks Oer and sacarlson [09:24] <[Si]> douglaslucas do the graphics work with the noeuvau built in drivers? [09:25] Si: yes but they look slightly bad somehow. I'm not very good with visual vocabulary, so hard to describe. I could screenshot though [09:26] <[Si]> I have a Macbook air, I swaped to the closed nvidia drivers but it makes the bits outside X look very bad [09:26] morning [09:26] Si: outside X? [09:27] <[Si]> if you use like ctrl-alt-f1 to get a text console. [09:27] <[Si]> and while it boots/shuts down. [09:28] frambuffer console? i bet bootloader sets up some weird resolution [09:29] ah, then I am not too concerned about outside X :) [09:31] Hi everyone [09:31] Anyone knows how to change the file receiving folder for bluetooth in ubuntu? [09:32] files are received automatically in /Downloads but i need them to be stored at a different location [09:32] Is "System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers" the same as "System Settings - Hardware - Additional Drivers" ? [09:32] hi [09:33] i have problem "Load Karnel" in grub [09:33] douglaslucas, yes [09:33] can anyonehelp me [09:34] aatish: you want to change or add a kernel in grub2 menu? [09:34] <[Si]> Kaco, on my mac at least I had to bypass the FB Console totaly, "nomodeset" + LINUXGFXPAYLOAD=text to make it usable. [09:34] Hmm since the mactel packages are old, is there another way I could get my nvidia card to show up in Additional Drivers? [09:34] I'd rather not go through the whole installation process -- can I somehow download a virtualbox image of 12.04 beta? I'm trying to find it, but no luck so far. anyone have a clue as to where I may be able to find it? [09:35] sacarlson : I m newbie in linux ubuntu plz can you guide me or tel me any resource with that i can fix that [09:35] aatish, isn't that specified in the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file ? [09:35] eh sorry aatish , is for mohtadi [09:36] plz send me any link or form so i'll fix that i m gud in win platform n developer in php [09:36] i've installed macbuntu, docky menu looks fine, but i still have the unity bar on the left and the gnome panel looks the same [09:36] mohtadi, isn't that specified in the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file ? it will change for all download, afaik [09:38] <[Si]> douglaslucas, the way I did it was quite a hack, it's proably best for someone that knows the propper ubuntu way to tell you, or you could hit issues updating later. [09:38] i can't boot my system [09:38] douglaslucas, what Nvidia videocard? open terminal: lspci | grep VGA [09:39] what command to move all the files form one directory to another [09:39] Oer: GeForce 320M [09:39] er [09:39] hang on [09:39] <[Si]> ponrajuganesh mv /dir/* /newdir/ [09:40] does anyone know why my gnome 3 extension for applications could be gone? [09:40] is not working* [09:40] Oer: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 08a0 (rev a2) [09:40] bump :) [09:42] <[Si]> douglaslucas, the problem with mine is the EFI bios/VBE emulation layer doesn't show anything but 640x480 or 800x600 so the FB console is just a mess. until I hacked it. [09:42] <[Si]> that could be the same as you are seeing. [09:43] douglaslucas, is it a hybride video / intel + nvidia ? [09:44] Si: That sounds intimidating :) [09:44] Oer: I'm not sure about the video part, but it's Intel, yeah [09:45] ah, theb [09:45] ah then you should check bumblebee >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [09:45] aatish: maybe try this and tell me how it goes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbIHWoJhIII [09:46] douglaslucas, else there is a #Bumblebee channel too here on freenode, those guys are up2date [09:47] <[Si]> Ah I didn't realise the MBPs had hybrid setups. Sorry for the confusion there douglaslucas [09:48] hi everyone [09:48] sacarlson : tx for that i'll try that [09:48] [Si], me too, but the specs of the video gave me a clue [09:49] i've added the following line to my /etc/sudoers file, but still get "adduser: Only root may add a user or group to the system." -- "admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/home/admin/script/add_system_user", does anyone know why? === eddie is now known as Guest85682 === Guest85682 is now known as eddie_ [09:50] can an ubuntu repo contain 2 versions of the same package? [09:50] MestreLion, yes, 32 & 64 bit [09:50] MestreLion: if they are named differently, sure [09:50] MestreLion: most common is to seperate into different repos though [09:51] Oer: yes that's it!!! thanks XD [09:51] Defusal: depends what's in that script [09:51] Oer: ok, let me rephrase that... given a single arch , single release, and not considering repos like security, updates, backports, etc [09:51] MestreLion: the common approach is to have one version per repo [09:52] MestreLion: it makes functionality such as searching simple and no need for pinning when installing [09:52] ikonia, oh i am a retard [09:52] i forgot to add sudo to the script :P [09:52] i thought it wasnt needed [09:54] ikonia: but... is it *possible*? Are there any cases of that currently in Ubuntu? (and i mean same package names, i'm not considering packages like wine1.2 and wine1.3, since, for ubuntu, they are different packages [09:54] MestreLion: there are no cases in the ubuntu repos [09:54] ikonia: glad to know :D [09:54] MestreLion: and no - same package names is not possible [09:56] ikonia / Oer : just to make sure I understood correctly. If i run apt-cache policy , and it shows me more than 1 available version, these different versions must be necessarily in different repos, correct? [09:56] \j #drupal-commerce [09:57] MestreLion: yes [09:57] so 1 would be from security, the other from, say, updates, and the last from... err.. how can i call it? "main" ? [09:58] MestreLion: why don't you give us the actual example [09:58] ikonia: i'm not talking about any particular package... i'm making a script to calculate "Ubuntu size" [09:59] an estimation of how large a system would be if *all* available packages are installed [09:59] (provided someone is crazy enough to do so) [09:59] vast swathes of packages conflict with vast swathes of other packages [10:00] something like "reposize maverick amd64" [10:00] MestreLion: just do a dummy rsync on the mirror - it will give you the size [10:01] quiescens: sure, no one can install *all* packages, since there are conflicting ones (like wine1.2 and wine1.3), but i can ignore those corner cases for a ballpark estimative [10:01] ikonia: I'm planning on parsing Packages.gz for the given distro/release/arch [10:02] hey guys, somebody help how to make facebook chats on ubuntu? :( [10:02] my problem was how to deal with security, updates, backports, etc [10:03] mato__: define "make chats". Isn't Gwibber enough? [10:04] Mestrelion, am a newbie in ubuntu [10:04] ikonia: so, if it is safe to assume that all packages in security are just a higher version of an existing package in main, and considering their size is usually similar, I can simply ignore security/updates/backports and still have a nice estimative, correct? [10:05] mato__: what version are you using? [10:05] MestreLion: sounds reasonable [10:05] does a sudo apt-get always use a default repository unless told otherwise? [10:05] *the same default repository [10:06] douglaslucas: nope... it uses the repository that contains the most recent version of a given package [10:06] douglaslucas: the repos are hardcoded, some of the hosts are load blancers [10:06] MestreLion: am running on ubuntu 11 and a mozzila browser [10:06] douglaslucas: it will use the repo that is hardcoded into your apt config [10:07] ok one Feb 2012 forum post about my exact same model is suggesting: [10:07] MestreLion: I googled and got this command: sudo dpkg -i pidgin-facebookchat-1.38.deb [10:07] mato__: no need [10:08] sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings followed by sudo nvidia-xconfig which creats /etc/X11/xorg.conf then reboot [10:08] MestreLion: then the command produces error " Command not found"! [10:08] mato__: you can use either facebook.com's website, OR, if you want a standalone app for facebook chat, use Gwibber... it is pre-installed in Ubuntu 11.10... [10:08] helou, i have question, how can i give my program to depository ? [10:09] <[Si]> douglaslucas that will install the nvidia blob drivers (closed) [10:09] Hello everyone [10:09] <[Si]> hey vta [10:09] mato__: golden hint: NEVER, EVER run commands that you googled in random blogs if you are dont 100% understand what it does [10:09] last time I tried switching to the nvidia proprietary driver (using the help.ubuntu.com guide), I didn't install nvidia-settings or do an -xconfig [10:10] MestreLion: Oh, I get that [10:10] <[Si]> you may wish to check Bumblebee works with the proprietary driver or your battery life will be shocking. === nmudgal_ is now known as nmudgal [10:10] what's bumblebee? [10:10] power manager? [10:10] <[Si]> it would appear you have 2 gpus [10:11] douglaslucas: combining both mine and ikonia's answer: you have a list of repositories that Ubuntu will search for when you apg-get install a package. If the sotfware is found in more than 1 of them, the one it downloads and installs is the one with the most recent version # [10:11] douglas: fat flying insect :-) [10:11] <[Si]> as Oer pointed out (and I totaly missed) Bumblebee supports this "Optimus" tech. [10:11] MetreLion: How is the best way to learn ubuntu, if forums are dangerous? [10:12] mato__: click on the Ubuntu icon, and type "gwibber"... or type "social", it will also work [10:12] mato: how forum is dangerous ? [10:12] <[Si]> the idea is the intel GPU (Low power) runs almost everything then the Nvidia one is activated for the graphics intensive stuff, bumblebee does this for you. [10:12] ah ok checking out the Bumblebee page now [10:12] mato: sorry, which forum is dangerous ? [10:12] MestreLion: https://help.ubuntu.com [10:13] oops [10:13] sorry [10:13] mato__: forums are not dangerous... but don't run commands you find there unless you read about them, study them, and understand what they do [10:13] mato__: https://help.ubuntu.com [10:13] i have some questions about printer driver [10:13] <[Si]> anudaasa people sometimes think it's funny to post commands that can kill your system, if you don't know linux they you may just run them blind. [10:13] mato__, Do you have a problem at ubuntuforums.org [10:13] how can i give my program to depository ? [10:14] mato__: because some commands may not apply to your particular version / system... it may be outdated... it may require something else... or it may be plain wrong [10:14] to be perfectly fair, its not really "forums" per se, so much as, "most of the internet", including this channel [10:14] si: ok :-) [10:14] very true quiescens [10:14] If you see a dangerous command please report it and the staff will deal with it [10:15] Is there any way to install Canon series on armel? [10:15] vta: what is armel ? [10:15] Si: should I install the nvidia closed drivers first or Bumblebee or does it matter? [10:16] si: i have firewall, so, nobody can kill my system :-) [10:16] mato__: for example, the command you posted will install a package named pidgin-facebookchat-1.38.deb , ***provided that this packaged is already downloaded to the local hard drive, to current directory** [10:16] douglaslucas, the bumblebee ppa provides de driver and the switch [10:16] ah ok [10:16] armel just likes i386 or adm64 [10:16] so straight to Bumblebee (and maybe ask the #Bumblebee folks first :) [10:17] Thats nice info, I really appreciate [10:17] <[Si]> douglaslucas that would be a good plan, I don't have any hybrid kit here to test with. [10:17] douglaslucas, yes, good idea, but be carefull, bublebee is not perfect yet. it still uses double X [10:17] double X? [10:17] mato__: but manually downloading .deb files and installing from local hard drive is usually NOT a good idea... and it should never be your *first* approach.... for that, use Software Center... he is your dearest friend if you are a newcomer [10:18] Av been in windows for too long and I think ubuntu is fantastic [10:18] yes, install from internet [10:18] where do i get the software center? [10:19] mato__: in Windows world is common practice to hunt .EXEs in thw wild web, download and run them... that is NOT a good practice in Ubuntu [10:19] mato_ if you are unsure of any command you find on ubuntuforums just ask [10:19] mato__: in Ubuntu you have a VERY convenient Software Center, where you can *safetly* download more than 30.000 software [10:20] yes, i am using Ubuntu Software Center [10:20] this is surely a good place to be, yet i feel like a kid, yet in windows am my own guru hahahah === gecko_ is now known as gecko1 [10:21] mato__: it automatically chooses the version and architechture that best fits YOUR system... downloads and installs them with a single click [10:21] MestreLion, not a good practice in W either [10:22] Can a 64-bit OS (well, specifically, Ocelot) run 32-bit programs like WINE? [10:22] Does any1 install Canon printer on armel? [10:22] mato__: so until you are more familiar with Ubuntu, stick with Software Center *only* for getting new software... it will save you a LOT of headaches until you are more confortable [10:22] douglaslucas: yes. there are 32-bit support libraries you'll need to grab as well. [10:23] This is great piece of advice [10:23] douglaslucas: generally, no. But some packages allows this if they are compatible with ia32-libs... wine is one of them [10:23] siplor: okay, thanks. Install the libraries before or after installing Bumblebee + rebooting ? [10:23] *the 32-bit libraries [10:24] true bluefrog ... but in Windows you have no other choice... there is no Software Center... you are FORCED to hunt down websites and download executables from unkown sources [10:24] mato__: use TAB to auto-complete nicknames here... ;) [10:25] douglaslucas: before [10:25] douglaslucas: wait... *how* are you installing Bumblee ? [10:26] MestreLion, wow, it works, by tabs, thanks, thats great tip!! [10:26] ;) [10:27] mato__: back to your original question... have you found gwibber ? [10:27] MestreLion: I was planning to follow the instructions here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee#Installation , once I figure out what the one command I don't get is [10:28] MestreLion, thanks , I open facebook direct and now i can chat [10:28] mato__: didn't it work before? [10:28] i cant chat [10:28] MestreLion, but yesterday i tried chatting it cudnt, so i thot its some missing pluggins [10:28] no dude [10:29] no plugins needed to use facebook... [10:29] is this real chat [10:29] ubuntu: are you ok? [10:30] <[Si]> douglaslucas which command are you unsure of? [10:30] yeah, now am okay, but i wud like to learn abt qwibber [10:30] douglaslucas: seems pretty straight-forwards instructions... what is not working? [10:31] I'm not sure what "sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee $USER" means/does. And the bumblebee-project.org page says to change $USER and the wiki.ubuntu.com page says changing $USER is unnecessary :) [10:31] I think they should have a cage match [10:31] <[Si]> it adds your current user account to the bumblebee group [10:31] Good morning everyone [10:32] <[Si]> if you do echo $USER, it will show you what it would expand to :) [10:32] <[Si]> hey Wabs [10:32] ah ok cool [10:33] douglaslucas: it only means $USER can be used literallty... because bash automatically expands that to your actual username [10:34] MestreLion, Thanks greatly, am going for lunch, will meet u later [10:34] altought it is weird for a video driver to require user to add to group [10:35] side-note: douglaslucas... if you don't know what usermod is or how it works, you probably should not edit /etc/sudoers [10:35] <[Si]> MestreLion, it uses a kernel module to disable the second GPU when it's not used, I assume the group is too allow non-root users to do this. [10:36] douglaslucas: not requiring passowrd when using sudo is a VERY, VERY, EXTREMELY bad idea [10:36] [Si]: humm.. well, in this case, fair enough === gecko1 is now known as gecko_ [10:40] oh man, sorry... the guy who was editing /etc/sudoers was Defusal , not douglaslucas ... really sorry for the confusion [10:40] s'ok [10:40] that's weird, the apt-get install was able to locate two of the libraries, [10:40] but the final, third one, virtualgl-libs:i386 [10:40] *but not [10:41] because that one is in the PPA [10:41] so then I would do, [10:42] ... or not. let me check [10:42] sudo apt-get-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable install virtualgl-libs:i386 ? [10:42] btw... what is the relation between wine and bumblebee ? [10:42] I don't understand how Linux switches back and forth between repositories [10:43] it doesn't... it scans all repos when you search for a package [10:43] <[Si]> Wine needs the 32bit OpenGL [10:43] ok, so does add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable just add another repository in its list of repositories to scan? [10:43] douglaslucas: exactly [10:44] douglaslucas: and then apt-get update reads all the repos and fetches the available package names [10:44] so when you open Software Center (or Synaptic, or apt-get, or aptitude), it will list packages from all these repos [10:45] hi, how can I print a PDF 4-pages per sheet, correctly double-sided (p1 and p2 must be on different sides of the sheet)? [10:45] it knows wich packages (and versions) are in each repo, so you don't have to worry about that === gecko_ is now known as itmannen [10:46] o [10:46] douglaslucas: the problem is that sometimes people add the new repository but forget to update the package list... [10:46] ah hah [10:47] Hello all, can i logout my current session and get a new login screen without killing X session...I mean Xorg should not get killed and start again... [10:47] I must do something like, print to PDF odd pages 4-pages per sheet, print to PDF even pages 4-pages per sheet, shuffle merge the two files in a single PDF [10:47] cool, it worked after I ran sudo apt-get update [10:48] LMX: yes it should work [10:48] can you remov [10:48] can you remov [10:48] My harddrive is being detected by bios, but not shown when doing "sudo lshw _C disk". What does that mean? === anonymous is now known as Guest31554 [10:48] ffs, can you remove the new left menu? i want to use gnome do instead [10:49] sacarlson, but when I logout the X session gets killed...ans starts again with a new pid...can u help me out with this [10:49] mattiasn_: not sure about the _C disk part, maybe just sudo lshw | pastebinit ; to see what we can see [10:49] douglaslucas: it looks like wine (and its libs) are not related to bumblegee at all... besides, 'im not sure why you would need to install the 32bits one, since there is a native 64 bits wine iin Ubuntu === itmannen is now known as gecko_ [10:49] Hi! Why doesn't apt-get install indicator-weather && reboot show the indicator in Ubuntu 12.04? [10:49] netAction: have you white-listed it? [10:49] MestreLion: How? [10:50] netAction: i may be wrong, but i think pannel applets are now blacklisted by default === ubuntu is now known as Fujk [10:50] how to convert VOB-files from VIDEO-TS folder to one file? [10:50] and you have to manually whitelist the ones you want to allow [10:50] LMX: it should put you back into a login screen that you can now login to the same or another user account [10:50] sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/893442/ [10:50] MestreLion: I can call the indicator in command line. [10:51] The_BROS: install handbrake [10:51] can you remove the new left menu in ubuntu? [10:51] sacarlson: how werid, it shows there when not using the "-C disk" [10:51] ok so with the repository and the 32-bit libraries installed (just in case), I'm now going to 1) sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia 2) sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee $USER . [10:51] then reboot. I have all my stuff backed up and all on an external hard drive as I've been installing OS all day heh [10:51] sacarlson, yes i gets the login screen...but X session changes...I need Xorg session should not get killed...I am using a usb multiseat environment [10:51] mattiasn_: ya looks like they are all there now [10:51] netAction / Fujk : as for how, go to #ubuntu+1 [10:52] thanks! :) [10:52] douglaslucas: the libraries are for 32-bit version of wine... they seem not to be related with Bumblebee at all [10:52] <[Si]> good luck douglaslucas! [10:53] yeah, if I'm not back in a few minutes that's because it didn't work ;) (in which case I'm going to bed and messing with it tomorrow) [10:53] douglaslucas: also, rebooting is overkill [10:53] douglaslucas: as Linus once said, in Linux rebooting is for adding new hardware ;) [10:53] hmm [10:53] Hi every body, I have a python script running by the command "nohup myscript.py > my.out &". Is see the prints of the output? [10:53] so if I don't have to reboot, I can keep listening to M.I.A. :) [10:54] douglaslucas: and for 99% of actions you don't even need to re-login [10:54] <[Si]> Aufwind tail -f my.out [10:54] douglaslucas: nope... because you are in the 1% that needs re-login [10:54] !info gimp [10:54] gimp (source: gimp): The GNU Image Manipulation Program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.11-2ubuntu4 (oneiric), package size 4644 kB, installed size 13456 kB [10:54] ah ok [10:54] sorry, MIA [10:54] here goes [10:55] douglaslucas: adding groups to a user requires that user to logout so the new group is effective [10:55] [Si], it seems like my.out has not captured all prints... [10:55] hrm [10:55] so after executing the usermod command, [10:55] <[Si]> Aufwind add 2>&1 to your nohup you are missing the output to STDERR [10:55] douglaslucas: yes... the usermod is the only command there that requires you to re-login... [10:55] douglaslucas: if not, you would be able to use that immediately [10:55] should I just logout and back in through the graphical interface in the top right (Log out)... the wheel thingie === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [10:56] Can anyone help me with this error? When im trying to install ubuntu server 11.10 i gives and error: unable to install the selected kernel ..... linux-generic-pae [10:56] <[Si]> MestreLion he'd also need to disable KVM + the FM console stuffs [10:56] douglaslucas: yup. go ahead, and good luck :) [10:56] <[Si]> FB console stuffs even [10:56] [Si], you mean "nohup myscript.py 2>&1 my.out &" ? [10:56] <[Si]> yes Aufwind [10:56] <[Si]> no [10:57] [Si]: is he using KVM ? [10:57] <[Si]> sorry you mean "nohup myscript.py my.out 2>&1 & [10:57] [Si], Ok thanks, again. [10:57] ghl: pick another one? [10:57] anyone in here up? [10:58] <[Si]> MestreLion yeah the non nvidia blob driver uses KVM (Kernel Video Mode) [10:58] sacarlson: it happens in the step Install the base system. How can I select another one there? [10:58] [Si], I assume, that if a process got started (without 2>&1) there is no way to get hands on its output again? Is this right? [10:58] Deaconf19: 1546 people and counting [10:58] wow [10:58] <[Si]> Aufwind that's correct [10:58] ghl: is this the alternate install disk? [10:58] [Si], thank you! [10:58] ok I was told to come here to ask how to change the LTSP Ubuntu loading image [10:58] anyone know how to do this? [10:58] It is the ubuntu server 11.10 downloaded from the ubuntu site, and then burned to cd [10:59] 32 bit [10:59] [Si]: Humm... in this case, perhaps rebooting is really necessary... but again, the package should signal it like kernel packages do [10:59] when I run live CD of new ubuntu it says I cant access my old /home partition because of permissions... so, if I reinstall will I be able to access it again or be forever locked out? [10:59] I mean, a properly built package does :D [10:59] <[Si]> MestreLion in this case I imagine a reboot is needed :) it may also require some /etc/default/grub.conf hacking :) [10:59] Deaconf19: you want to make a custom install cd image? [10:59] Fujk: were you using an encrypted home folder? [10:59] sacarlson, yes [11:00] MestreLion, think so [11:00] thanx. And what would be better Avidemux or Handbrake? [11:00] [Si]: which we both hope the package handles by itself... [11:00] <[Si]> I'm with you on that one MestreLion [11:01] The_BROS: depends on usage... Handbrake is geared towards a smooth, "click here" workflow to convert DVDs to mkv files... [11:01] Deaconf19: I've never tried this one but looks cool http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [11:01] The_BROS: while Avidemux handles... AVI files :P [11:02] Fujk, ll /home if you see .ecryptfs, then you are using it. reinstalling and using same user and password. should be ok BUT you should do a capture of ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase before doing so, in case you need to decrypt manually [11:02] sacarlson: thanks [11:03] The_BROS: do you want to convert VIDEO_TS folders or avi files ? [11:03] VIDEO_TS [11:04] But sometime I need to convert one videoformat to another [11:04] bluefrog, yes its there, where is the unwrap file? [11:04] The_BROS: install them both... and use whatever you like the most... they both have nice features... and none can cover all [11:05] ok, haven't executed the second command yet, but the first, installing bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia, went well except for about ten "Possible missing firmware ... for module nouveau" messages involving the /lib/firmware/nouveau/ directory [11:06] douglaslucas: for bumblebee-specific errors, folks at #bumblebee will be able to provide you a much better support [11:07] Thanx. I will do [11:07] douglaslucas: afterall, this is third-party software, not provided by Ubuntu repositories [11:07] Bonjour tout le monde ! [11:08] The_BROS: also, consider installing WinFF and mkvinfo [11:08] Anybody good at getting Wifi connections up n running? I am not able to udnerstand really where the problem is located... [11:09] mattiasn_: can you see the access point of interest? === Sergevg is now known as svg [11:10] sacarlson: sarcastic note: be careful with "see"... he may reply with "yes, it is right on top of my desk" [11:11] MestreLion: yes I might of added more detail but they added none so I just folowed [11:12] i was jusk kidding anyway :) [11:13] Hello everybody. I just installed Virtual Box and I have loaded an Ubuntu .iso image. It's allright but I can't see on the left of the top bar the applications menu. can you help me? [11:14] Ok folks... pro-bono support daily quota reached.. I'll go watch CSI now... cya! [11:14] bye mestre, thanks for the help! :) :) [11:14] frank2: why you do that ? [11:15] I'm trying to install a deb, on 10.04 x64, but it says "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'" ... there's no 64-bit package, so is there anything I can do? [11:15] auto wlan0; iface wlan0 inet dhcp; wireless-essid Tottenhem [11:15] MestreLion: ok and that paycheck is in the mail, thanks for your assistance [11:15] sacarlson: Yes I can, but sudo ifup wlan0 yields weird results. However not I managed to connect by modifying /etc/network/interfaces I added lines: [11:15] auto wlan0; iface wlan0 inet dhcp; wireless-essid Tottenhem [11:15] I know you can install x86 stuff on x64 windows [11:15] anudaasa: I need to test a server environment. but it's strange this thing... I can't access programs...terminal... [11:15] That seemed to make it work after doing sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [11:15] how can I print an a6 double-sided leaflet using an a4 duplex printer? [11:16] I need to restart and see if it works automatically now.. [11:16] mattiasn_: sounds good to me [11:17] Skype closes after 5 seconds or so when I try to run it... if I run it in a terminal it stays open until i close the terminal... how do i fix it so that it will stay running without a terminal window open? [11:17] Frank2: Ubuntu is good, there is no need to test [11:19] anudaasa: yes I know, but this is not my machine, I can't do what I want, so virtualization is a temporary solution. According to you, what is the problem? I can see everything on the desktop, but not the menu in the top left bar. probably it's a trivial issue... [11:19] Xabster-lap: maybe reinstall skype [11:20] Frank2: can you boot cd of Ubuntu ? [11:22] anudaasa: unfortunately I can't at this moment. I would burn the image, but I have not cds with me. [11:23] Frank2: can you do reboot ?

Yes I have rebooted the machine. it works perfectly... [11:23] Frank2: fine :-) [11:25] anudaasa: it's strange because I can see th time and other icons on the right top bar, why I can't see the application menu. [11:25] Frank2: i was same problem, there is program named Application Finder [11:26] in Application Finder are all installed programs, this is in new version, but this is no so big problem [11:28] anudaasa: sorry actually the reboot is ok, but still I have the problem :-( Where can I find the appilcation finder? [11:30] Frank2: xfce4-appfinder [11:31] Frank2: install xfce4-appfinder [11:31] if anyone had to save error as me with skype, here's an easy fix (rename your ~/.Skype/shared.xml file to something else or delete it if you don't want a backup) [11:31] Frank2: Do you have a bar on the left side of your screen? [11:31] Frank2: alt+F2 and type xfce2-appfinder if you don`t have panel [11:31] "had to save" [11:31] i wrote had the same* [11:31] what is this fucking autocomplete spell check [11:31] Hi! Can someone help me with my internet sharing? The wireless stops working when my laptop disconnects. Have to keep my Ipod plugged in 24/7 to keep the internet sharing up!!! [11:32] Made sure power management on the wireless card is turned off, can't think of what else it could be. === Granis` is now known as Granis [11:32] can you turn it back on without the ipod plugged in? [11:33] Yes by resetting the whole network. [11:33] which is inconvienent to say the least, as I run the ubuntu box headless. [11:33] yeah, you definitely shouldn't have to do that [11:33] gotta go, my stop's here [11:33] adhitya: please ask in the channel if you have a question [11:33] fast train! [11:34] i want to ask about my ubuntu server [11:34] Well at least my Ipod stays charged all the time, lol! [11:35] Hi! My server is running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) Server Edition. I would like to upgrade it to 11.10 (Oneiric). How do i do that? [11:35] anudaasa macele kylen:Ok here we go. I have started it. yes I can run commands... it's the first icon on the top of the left bar. ok> I have started it. [11:35] lolmaus: apt-get dist-upgrade ? [11:36] how do i configure ntp server on my ubuntu ? [11:37] kylen, why not do-release-upgrade? [11:37] anudaasa macele kylen: But how can I show the application menu on the top bar? [11:37] adhitya: cat /etc/ntp.conf and look at line about server [11:37] ok thanks.. [11:37] adhitya: when you type right server ten 'service ntp restart' [11:38] oke thanks.. [11:38] Hello all, can i logout my current session and get a new login screen without killing X session...I mean Xorg should not get killed and start again... [11:38] np [11:38] lolmaus: first do backup all config file ( etc. samba itp. ) [11:38] Frank2: i like ubuntu without application menu :-) ,,, it is like wmware :-) [11:39] anudaasa: hehe [11:39] sorry windowmaker === Companion is now known as companion [11:41] anudaasa: :-) if you are saying that the new version does not include the application menu on the bar btu this new feature for me it's ok. I have thinking that was a problem of Virtual Box... === dem0n is now known as Guest74920 === sw0rdfish is now known as Robinux [11:42] Frank2: no, its no problem [11:42] hey.. [11:43] Ubuntu just needs to stop being so buggy. [11:43] Frank2: No it's just the new way, you can install gone-session-fallback if you like the old way [11:43] Im trying to resize a partition using a ubuntu live usb and gparted [11:43] *gnome-session-fallback [11:43] i changed from kde to unity ubuntu-desktop... removed all unneeded kde packages and installed ubuntu-desktop.. works all fine... [11:43] the step "shrink file system" is taking forever [11:43] but now.. if i start thunderbird, cpu goes to 20-40% usage for thunderbird.. any idea? [11:44] Estragon: what size was it and what size are you shrinking it to? [11:44] im resizing a partition from 280GiB to 230GiB [11:44] Estragon: what fs too? [11:44] Try telling it not to be so nice, noaxess. [11:44] anudaasa: ok perfect for me is enough. thank you very much for your help!!! probably I need an ubuntu server instead of a classic ubuntu [11:44] Mandy__: ? [11:44] man nice [11:44] auronandace: I believe it's ext4 (its the main partition from my existing ubuntu install) [11:45] Frank2: maybe [11:45] ahh :) [11:45] macele: thank you macele! now I have the change to do everything! [11:45] Mandy__: but that can't be the solution.. right? [11:45] Estragon: wow, why do you have a ubuntu / partition as 200+ GB? [11:46] Frank2: by the way, how you do whispering ? [11:46] the package xmonad is brother on 12.04? cause i installed with apt-get choose xmonad on gdm but doest worked :S [11:46] As far as I can tell, I'm the only person on the planet with my ubuntu problem. [11:46] auronandace: I have a single hard drive and I gave all the space to ubuntu [11:46] Lots of people with wifi not working after sleep, but none with it no working unless you keep an Ipod plugged in. [11:47] Estragon: how full is it while you are resizing? [11:47] auronandace: about 180 GiB are used [11:47] Estragon: ah, yes, that would take a little while i would expect [11:47] Estragon: how long have you been waiting? [11:48] auronandace: about 10 minutes made me believe something was wrong [11:48] Estragon: just 10 mins? [11:48] anudaasa: Sorry I can't undestand your question... [11:48] Frank2: anyway [11:48] It takes a lot longer than 10 minutes to copy 180g lol [11:48] Frank2: never mind [11:49] hi guys. i want to download a new cd. do you know any channels to get info about how to do this? [11:49] There also might be some large files it's having difficulty fitting properly in the new partition, so it's moving small files around and around and around. [11:49] Estragon: out of curiosity, how did you manage to fill up that partition to use 180gb? [11:50] auronandace: media files on my home [11:50] anudaasa: ok, pefect. thank you again, I try apply your advices, and probably I will let you know :-) see you soon [11:50] Estragon: i keep a seperate storage partition for my files [11:51] auronandace: yep, Im doing that too on my other computers but this one is a little older, when I was young :) [11:51] another question : what filesystem should I use to prepare a windows install ? ntfs or fat32 (or other ?) [11:52] Estragon: ntfs [11:52] thanks [11:52] Estragon: from fat32 you can change to ntfs [11:52] anudaasa: not really, you'd need to reformat [11:53] Estragon: fat32 has big restriction [11:53] * Jacta_ says hi [11:53] ok [11:53] Estragon: only xp can install onto fat32 now [11:53] Estragon: also the 4gb max filesize limit is rather irritating [11:54] just installing ubuntu for the first time now - ubuntu's install process with the live os running in the background is SO good, but the partitioning process offers a bit too much control for newbies. It would be good if there was a more automated process for newbs that want to make space for windows and ubuntu (with an automated swap created) [11:54] yes for w7 is only ntfs [11:54] ok, should people consider fat32 as deprecated ? [11:55] i doubt it [11:55] Estragon: its still widely used on flash drives [11:55] hasn't it been for years? [11:55] Estragon: most operating systems support fat32 [11:55] i have fat32 on my usb drive [11:56] there are multifunctional printer devices at our uni - brand new.. they dont recognise my NTFS usb key [11:56] or drive rather [11:57] Hello! I'm unable to ssh into laptop connected to the same network. I can ssh from laptop to desktop but not the other way round. I restarted services on both the systems, purged openssh-server, openssh-client, did ssh-keygen/keyscan but still not working. This is output of ssh -vvv http://paste.ubuntu.com/893492/ How can I fix it? [11:58] ibiwor: can you successfully « ssh localhost » on the laptop?

Either using tcpdump, iftop or similar. [12:09] vlt: Another thing I noticed is - http://paste.ubuntu.com/893506/ [12:10] ibiwor: can you install vncviever and server ? [12:10] anudaasa: ?

[12:11] *cache [12:12] ibiwor: I don't think your sshd is the problem. Sounds to me like network related. Check whether IP packets arrive on port 22.

[12:13] i would probably look at "sudo iptables -L" on the system you are trying to connect to in order to eliminate the simpler possibilities first [12:14] quiescens: It says policy ACCEPT for INPUT/FORWARD/OUTPUT [12:16] ibiwor: can you change your user and try to cannect as someone else ?

[12:23] Douglas: many are, depends what knowledge you need [12:23] also, it helps being a decent person :) [12:23] sacarlson, also this makes file sharing between the networks slower [12:23] Douglas: ask your question and stop wffling [12:24] calm down rileyp [12:24] not my fault you have a bad day [12:24] waffling [12:24] you r wasting time ask [12:24] !patience [12:24] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[12:25] auronandace: see PM [12:25] Douglas: why not type five lines before you ask your question to lead us in gently please at your leasure [12:25] Douglas: please keep it in the channel [12:25] alright [12:25] well the thing is that I've downloaded the 11.10 version of lubuntu [12:26] but when the wubi starts up i can choose from 4 diff versions, but lubuntu isnt there [12:27] Douglas: i don't use wubi. any reason you need wubi? why not a vm or a dualboot install? [12:27] well im not technical(hence im here) [12:27] i mounted the iso on a virtual drive on both poweriso and daemon [12:28] ibiwor: `tcpdump -i eth0 port 22` for example. [12:28] but both programs keep starting up wubi once i run the virtual cd [12:28] Douglas: dualboot is easy, a vm is easier [12:28] Hy guys! Hope someone has a little time... I'm trying to make a bash script that would change my ip add every x seconds, from available 192.168.1.0/24... Any ideas? [12:28] Douglas: the hardest part it partitioning [12:29] is [12:29] okay but vm stands for virtual machine, right? [12:29] Douglas: yes [12:29] Douglas: we are happy to help you with partitioning [12:29] also, how does dualboot work? i don't have a way to use a cd [12:29] my laptop doesn't have cd/dvd capability [12:29] !usb | Douglas [12:30] Douglas: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [12:30] ah k [12:30] vlt: $ sudo tcpdump -vv -i wlan0 port 22 tcpdump: listening on wlan0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes [12:30] and is this also avaible for lubuntu?

[12:31] okay so i put the iso file on the usb and what then? [12:31] Douglas: did you read the links ubottu gave you? [12:32] Douglas: if you are using 11.10 you can dd or cat the iso to the usb [12:32] as far as i understood it i need to install somekind of program [12:32] "linux live usb creator" [12:32] Douglas: if you have windows install pen drive linux and you use this program in windows to make a bootable usb stick that will allow you to install any flavor you like [12:32] what is dd or cat? [12:32] rileyp How would I do it? [12:33] Douglas: programs that run on unix-like operating systems [12:33] apple314: go read a guide on how to use bash [12:33] dd convert and copy a file .. [12:33] :op [12:34] rileyp: Yeah, guest as much. Anyway thanks for your time [12:34] auron: i am still confused why lubuntu doens't show up in wubi [12:34] Douglas: cat is used in linux to view a file in a terminal [12:34] even if you think it's irrelevant, i downloaded the lubuntu from their website and it isn't there [12:34] Douglas: i don't use wubi so i don't know [12:34] it is just bizarre [12:34] Are you all sure! [12:35] apple314: i'm probably going to regret asking this, but what are you hoping to accomplish by changing out your interface address every few seconds? [12:35] is there a way to install lubuntu from the windows fire explorer? [12:35] sipior: it sounds like a univerity homework problem [12:35] My ubuntu has memory leaks... any known fixes? Uptime of 8 days and my 6GB is almost completely taken. Program's memory usage really doesn't add up to 6GB, far from it. [12:35] transforming my USB to a bootable linux version sounds advanced [12:35] !wubi | Douglas [12:35] Douglas: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe [12:35] Is this a known thing with a fix? [12:35] rileyp: hmm, could be. [12:36] Douglas: i think no ways.. except you are using live usb or live cd.. [12:36] ldiamond: cat free pls [12:36] Douglas : try unetbootin [12:36] sipior havent you seen the movie 'untraceable"? if not, do so and see what you can do by constantly changeing your IP address [12:36] Douglas: instll pendrive linux and make 3 clicks [12:36] so basically my only way out is using a live usb or live cd, nothing inbetween?

Please keep in mind that one of it's purposes is to simply try Ubuntu, from the windows environment. If one likes it, the next logical step is to install Ubuntu; dual-boot, and go from there. [12:37] sipior, this is not disk caching. [12:37] sipior: i write with green text in my terminal, derp. [12:37] airtonix: that's nice. [12:37] sipior, I'm sitting at like 90%+ [12:37] whats a derp? [12:37] mariconaasss [12:37] sipior, and everything gets slow as hell. [12:37] Douglas: wubi is something made for you to try linux inst second rate to teh real deal as you have to boot to windows first [12:37] chuparlaa [12:37] which is better, unetbootin or pendrive linux? [12:38] chupamela pijaa [12:38] Douglas: whichever one works? [12:38] sipior: i'm just guessing but probly so there ISP (momy/dady) don't know who's been downloading all that stuff off the internet [12:38] anyone knows which works better? [12:38] ldiamond: can you pastebin the output of vmstat? [12:38] unetboot in us iued in linux to make a boot disk and pdl is used in doze [12:38] ldiamond: what about disk caching line? [12:38] so if you have doze use pdl if you have linux use unetboot in [12:39] what is doze? [12:39] windoze [12:39] 250MB of cache [12:39] heh === viktor is now known as viktor133 [12:39] out of 6GB [12:39] windows [12:39] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/make-a-usb-boot-cd-for-ubuntu-11-10/ [12:39] seems fairly far away from "3 clicks" [12:40] I'm clearing a bunch of things out now, but I've been having issues for a while. I've read some forums where they say there are some memory leaks. [12:40] I basically just want to know if there is a known issue with a fix/workaround [12:40] douglas : if you're using unetbootin u can use your iso image to make live usb.. [12:40] Douglas "better" depends on what you prefer, MultiSystem is another way to create a bootable usb stick [12:41] Doug 3 click will make a bootable usb you then reboot to teh usb and then your usb will bot and away you go install your new operating stystem [12:41] Hello Guys [12:41] My PC was getting slow specifically because there was no more caching being done by the OS because of a lack of memory [12:41] How do I move all dir contents excluding a folder within that dir? [12:41] monkeydust, what do you mean with "what i prefer", are there options here? im using windows. [12:42] rileyp i can still partition right? [12:42] I see the cache going up as I free some RAM. Though I can't get back down below 40% even when closing everything [12:42] windows can be good if all else fails for certain programs which are rare. [12:42] I guess I could buy some 12GB extra... [12:42] ldiamond: you could probably have a look at the output of "ps axuf" or something toget an idea of where things are if it is a usermode problem [12:43] Douglas: yes when the usb boots you get all the options you may need to pres a button so it will boot to usb [12:43] ldiamond, how much ram you have now? [12:43] anyone? [12:43] adhitya: unetbootin doesn't have support for lubuntu [12:43] or edit bios settinsg to allow boot from usb [12:44] How do I move all dir contents excluding a folder within that dir?

[12:46] ldiamond: you can use ps aux instead [12:46] sacarlson: SSH [12:46] Douglas: download one of these and pdl and make a usb and reboot [12:46] yeah I have that on torrent rileyp [12:46] already downloaded [12:46] Douglas by "prefer" I mean, what you find easiest to use [12:46] ldiamo: auxf is for looking at, not for trying to magically process it [12:46] Douglas: i was trying all linux distro include lubuntu and it working... [12:46] amaroks: yes ssh , but skip the drag and drop and just copy and paiste [12:46] that's the version which starts the wubi all the time when mounted as a vm [12:47] adhitya: lubuntu isn't shown in the list of supported distros but i take your word for it [12:47] douglas: okay.. [12:47] quiescens, I know, but it's nice to have both :p (--sort=vsz) [12:48] okay rileyp [12:48] thx for the tips [12:48] i'll try it [12:48] your program does have lubuntu [12:48] up until 11.10, unlike the other program [12:48] ibiwor: Can you past *one* example line of tcpdump's output here?

[12:58] Okay. I'm lost. I don't know what I'm missing. I'm learning NFS/Autofs. I'm on my laptop and I can access /net/xps.local/dir1 but I can't access /net/xps.local/dir2 (although I placed both dirs in server's /etc/exports (and did 'sudo exportfs -ra') [12:59] lasers`: what file system is the dir2 in? ntfs? [13:00] sacarlson: Not NTFS. It's either ext3 or ext4. I don't remember. [13:00] lasers`: then maybe apparmor? [13:01] lasers`: are the files perms and owner the same? [13:01] sacarlson: I'm new to NFS/AutoFS so I may be missing out on something trivial. I don't believe it is apparmor. [13:02] lasers`: from the info you gave that was about all you needed to do as far as I know [13:02] When i do sudo dpkg -i ../Downloads/mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.38-1ubu1104-amd64.deb i get : Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-workbench-gpl. What am I doing wrong? [13:03] sacarlson: Comparing both dirs. Both have same permissions and $USER:$USER. Odd. :O [13:03] lasers` i guess you don't have to place dirs in /etc/exports -- it's IP addresses, I guess two dirs on the same IP address are conflicting [13:03] diverdude: are you using 11.04?

[13:10] adhitya: might have missread that... sorry thought that was a line from fstab [13:10] MonkeyDust: Okay. Thank you. From what I read, NFS is linux native and would be more suitable (less overhead) than Samba for sharing/mounting. [13:10] ibiwor: We want to find out whether ssh traffic arrives on the server, right? So we need a line from tcpdump running on the server that shows us a packet from somewhere to the server's port 22. [13:11] tyler_d : okay [13:11] ibiwor: Yes, I'm trying that. I went to see if there is a problem for the laptop to connect to network! [13:11] vlt: tcpdump -nes0 ether host <> port 22 [13:11] ibiwor: `tcpdump -i dst host and dst port 22` should only show those.

[13:12] gfc, uh what? [13:12] tyler_d: Mounting multiple directories. One dir works. The other dir does not. [13:12] vlt: Depending on the direction of communication, the server and client in home network changes, right? [13:13] lasers: if you just put *(...) then any address instead of a range 192.168.2.0/24(....) can connect [13:13] vlt: So I got confused what you were referring to client and what server when ssh is being attempted from laptop to desktop [13:13] ibiwor: What do you mean? "changes"? [13:13] lasers`: are both dir's on the same machine? [13:13] tyler_d: Yes. [13:14] ibiwor: I don't care whether it's a laptop or a mainframe. One machine is the ssh server you try to connect to. [13:14] lasers`: what is the error given when you try to open the non-working dir? [13:14] lasers`: pastebinit your /etc/exports for us to see if your still having problems [13:14] vlt: As far I understand, if i ssh from laptop to desktop. laptop is client and desktop server === root is now known as Guest75156 [13:14] hello [13:14] Hi all, I was wundering if anyone could roughly outline how i would attach my domain name to my ubuntu box. I have a domain with go daddy and have bind9 installed on the box but how do i attach the 2, I basically want my domain name to be absolutely bound to my box? Any help would be hugely appreciated [13:14] ibiwor: Correct. [13:15] !root > Guest75156 [13:15] Guest75156, please see my private message [13:15] what is wrong with the following command tar -xf angstrom-2011.03-i686-linux-armv7a-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar.bz2 -C [13:15] I get the following error tar: option requires an argument -- C [13:15] how should I type the command? [13:15] ohs: you need to provide a target directory (i.e., and argument to -C) [13:16] ohs: -C requiers a folder, check the manpages [13:16] prodnix: Domains are "attached" to IP addresses via DNS. Your DNS server needs to know what IP address to serve for that domain. [13:16] I just logged in to ubuntu. my background black, and there are no desktop items. It stays like that for 20s and then the items appear and the background is set to the correct one. what could be causing this delay? [13:16] thank you [13:16] how do you disable startup services like evolution? [13:17] should it be like tar -xf angstrom-2011.03-i686-linux-armv7a-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar.bz2 -C /home ? [13:17] Hello,i have a problem with my graphics card Nvidia GTS450,my ubuntu 11.10 cant recognize her for some reason...i mean i have graphic's but when i go to system settings "ifno" at the Graphics it says "unknown" ...some help plz??? [13:17] prodnix: Does the IP address of your Ubuntu box change sometimes? [13:17] sacarlson: I only want to limit it on 192.168.1.* -- Anyway. I'm still messing around with NFS. [13:17] vlt: never [13:17] ohs : use syntax tar -xf -C [13:18] adhitya: thanks [13:18] ohs : okay that' s right your welcome.. [13:18] can I just add the IP to the name server list of my godaddy account? [13:18] prodnix: Then you only need to edit the static "A record" for your domain on the DNS server that handles it. [13:19] vlt: does that mean i dont need bind9 on my ubuntu box? [13:20] prodnix: If you want to run your own DNS server (bind9) you have to tell the registrar (godaddy) that there's a new DNS server. But you usually don't need your own if DNS is included in your domain account. [13:20] prodnix: you'll also need two dns servers [13:20] hola [13:20] vlt: your making sense to me now. I think i get it, ill just have to find the a-record for my account [13:20] prodnix: Yes, ikonia is right (in case you want your own DNS). [13:20] prodnix: I'd advise you against running a dns service unless you really have to [13:20] I'm taking a shower. I'll try to solve this issue next time I get back. Thank you, tyler_d and sacarlson [13:21] ikonia: thanx for the help, its makin sense now. [13:21] vlt: thanx for your time, much appreciated [13:21] prodnix: yw [13:22] ohs:install unp sudo apt-get install unp and then use it with unp filename its that easy [13:23] I installed the PAE kernal with 32-bit 10.04 and now I can use all 8 gigs of RAM.

Probably just pushed a wrong button :p === max is now known as Guest92552 [13:25] ikonia, how is PAE different? It just recognizes more memory? [13:26] vlt: The ping shows connectivity for a while then after few minutes, network host unreachable then again tries to connect back.

[13:31] tomek_ : nothing :) [13:31] does exe extensioned file work on linux? [13:31] ohs: no [13:31] thanks [13:31] ohs: a windows binary does not work out of the box, you'll need to use something like wine to run it [13:32] not without an emulator (WINE) at least [13:32] ohs: and even then it may not work [13:32] ohs : it will work if you're using wine (windows emulator) [13:32] ohs, with wine, yes [13:32] ohs if you want to install an application wine [13:32] exactly LjL [13:32] thank you very much [13:32] ok [13:32] Wine Is Not An Emulator. ;) It's a win32 compatibility layer, isn't it?

[13:34] CharminTheMoose: it's a binary abi [13:34] thank you [13:34] I guess thats redundant, just abi [13:34] CharminTheMoose: and "emulating Windows" wouldn't entail the same thing?

[13:46] MestreLion you wrong so wrong [13:46] it's gone more than 2 years ago [13:46] it used to be there [13:46] /etc/default/grub.cfg [13:46] ill use Lucid [13:47] since Lucid 10.04. Ubuntu uses grub 2, NOT grub 1 [13:47] so no more menu.lst [13:47] anyone know how the PAE kernal is different? [13:47] !grub2 [13:47] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

So... menu.lst is gone for even longer :P [13:48] MestreLion yes [13:48] MestreLion: An upgraded install will keep the version of grub it was using though. [13:48] i know this isnt the place to ask, but can someone help me update BIOS with freedos [13:48] rns: yes, it enables PAE, in order to address more than 4GB of ram on a 32-bit platform. [13:48] drounse: if you know it's not the place, please don't ask [13:49] no mcruz .. I have Lucid in my netbook and Maverick in desktop, and none have menu.lst [13:49] rns: you'll be fine using it is the bottom line [13:49] ikonia, the people in this chat room are far more helpful than all of the others combined [13:49] sorry is in boot [13:49] /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:49] look for it [13:49] drounse: That still doesn't make this the right place to ask. [13:49] drounse: sadly, they are only helpful on the ubuntu topic [13:49] rns: PAE is a workaround so 32-bit OSes can still address more than 4GB of RAM, thus not requiring you to install a 64bit one [13:50] mcruz: wrong, no menu.lst anymore [13:50] !grub2 [13:50] MestreLion, so would I be able to add more than 16 gigs of ram and have it all recognized?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [13:50] check that info out - it will give a good overview to grub2 [13:50] rns: I think PAE stops at 32bit of ram, however the more ram you add you'll start to see an overhead [13:51] rns: I don't know the limit with PAE, if it's 12, 16 or 64GB RAM... but it is more than 4 :P [13:51] rns: if you are going to use more than 16GB of ram, I'd use a 64bit OS [13:51] ikonia, what do you mean overhead? [13:51] rns: the way the additional ram is addressed [13:51] ikonia use PAE [13:51] rns: do a bit of research on it if you are keen to use it [13:51] mcruz: what ? [13:51] rns: read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [13:51] are you going to store ubuntu there or something? whats the idea? D: [13:52] kernel PAE [13:52] mcruz: you should probably learn to read better. [13:52] mcruz: what about it ? [13:52] rns: a simple google for "PAE wikipipedia" would solve that :P [13:52] rns: the wikipedia link is actually quite a good introduction [13:52] I've referenced it a few times [13:53] apt-get install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae [13:53] quoting it: "The Linux kernel includes full PAE mode support starting with version 2.3.23,[7] enabling access of up to 64 GB of memory on 32-bit machines" [13:53] mcruz: what areyou talking about ? [13:53] ikonia, MestreLion thanks for the info. Will 64 bit speed things up any faster than just using PAE? [13:53] mcruz: are you actually following the conversation we are having or just throwing random things in ? [13:53] or are there any added benefits? [13:53] hello? [13:53] rns: using large memory addresses, it will be more efficient, faster to the naked eye, nah [13:53] rns: that depends a LOT on the tasks you will use... some will REALLY benefit from 64, some won't [13:53] rns: PAE is a hack. if you have a 64-bit platform, use a 64-bit operating system. === Companion is now known as companion [13:54] sipior, ikonia MestreLion is it possible to upgrade from 32 bit 10.04 to 64 bit without losing my data? [13:54] rns: no, not upgrade, re-install yes [13:54] The developer of Hardcore Tactical Shooter has ask me (?for some reason?) to let Linux users know he wants their feedback. [13:55] ikonia, reinstall implies loss of data? [13:55] c704710: what ? [13:55] ikonia you can reinstall and preserve all your packets [13:55] rns: not if you do it right [13:55] ikonia, what do you mean? [13:55] mcruz: I know, can you please start following the conversation and READING what people are saying [13:55] sipior: it is not that simple... I have an old netbook, veeery limited hardware, Atom N450 CPU... it is a 64-bit capable CPU... but I think it is overkill to use a 64bit OS [13:55] dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > pack [13:55] guys i have a question [13:55] rns: if you backup parts of your data, or use a seperate partition layout for important areas such as /home - you can re-install and keep your information in tact [13:55] MestreLion: no, it isn't overkill. [13:55] then dpkg --set-selections < pack [13:55] dselect install [13:55] mcruz: look - stop, if you cannot follow the conversation and offer sane advice, you are not going to help [13:56] MestreLion: it's 2012. let's move on. [13:56] iam using ubuntu 10.04 and i cant make a bootable image for windows 7 [13:56] so, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/355932838/crowdsourced-hardcore-tactical-shooter, please proceed to feedback [13:56] sipior: 64-bit OSes use a LOT more RAM... for a desktop with 8GB, this is irrelevant... for a 1GB netbook, it is not [13:56] c704710: please don't spam that sort of things in here [13:56] deicon, you have the ISO?

[13:57] deicon, from where? [13:57] rns: save your /home folder, re-install with 64bit, assuming you can, move the pertinent parts of the backed up /home to the new /home, and then enjoy the increased speed of 64bit, I was amazed how much faster it really was. [13:57] sipior: it's 2012... but my netbook is still 2010... and it is a weak hardware... with no visible benefit from 64 arch [13:57] Fyodorovna: i downloaded it but the iso isnt the problem i have done it before [13:57] ikonia sorry, what channel should I use for requesting feedback from Linux users (?spam?)? [13:57] Fyodorovna: idk now what i cant [13:57] sipior: for ALL other cases, i fully agree with you [13:57] mestrelion then install 32 bit [13:57] Fyodorovna: why [13:58] deicon, only one legit ISO download I know of without it's idetification I can't really help. [13:58] 64 bit is to utilize ram..if you dont have alot of it..then there is nothing to utilize [13:58] aka..use 32 bit [13:58] Fyodorovna: i use unetbootin but it doesnt work [13:58] *identification [13:58] jordan4ibanez: me and sipior are giving suggestions to rns about 32 vs 64, PAE, etc [13:59] 64 bit is also a bit faster [13:59] well 32 bit doesnt utilize anything ..64 bit is better when you have more memory..i have 8 gigs and i usually peak at 1 gig when playing games..64 bit stores more data in ram for faster access [13:59] Fyodorovna: it is legit i have the serial number when i buy it [13:59] rns: how much RAM do you have? and how modern is your system (in terms of hardware) [13:59] deicon, from where did you download it? [14:00] MestreLion, dell xps 64 bit cpu with 8 gigs ram [14:00] oh, ok, bye [14:00] if you have 64bit capability you should use it, this is why the baby jesus created 64bit [14:00] Fyodorovna: from torrentz.com cauz my previous cd didnt work so .. === nW44b_ is now known as nW44b [14:00] then use 64 bit! lmfao [14:00] rns: is it a desktop system we are talking about? [14:00] deicon, not legit that is a torrent sorry. [14:00] MestreLion, currently using 32-bit PAE but not sure if the upgrade to 64-bit is worth it [14:00] MestreLion, laptop [14:00] it is worth it [14:00] you can run 32 bit programs in 64 bit [14:00] wow, a laptop with 8GB ?? I envy you.. :D [14:01] Fyodorovna: pf [14:01] 8gb is not that much [14:01] Fyodorovna: k [14:01] i know..because i have it lol..we need 32 GIGS [14:01] rns: yes, worth it [14:01] jordan4ibanez: but it's not usual in a laptop... at least not in Brazil [14:02] almoxarife, what added benefit would I get? [14:02] oh..well in america we have laptops with 64 gb of ram [14:02] RAM veeery is cheap nowadays... but for some reason most laptops here ship with 2, 4... [14:02] where is a good place to unpackage tarballs? [14:02] to the /tmp [14:02] jordan4ibanez: I bet those are not mainstream, average joe notebooks [14:02] rns: people have been telling you here now for a while, I have nothing more to add, do as you please :) [14:02] they are [14:03] they're for gaming and video processing [14:03] that's just a temp folder right? [14:04] jordan4ibanez: gaming and video processing in a notebook? that does not feel right... I mean.. serious gaming you need huge monitors, a decent keyboard, decent mouse, high-end video card... no point in doing that in a notebook [14:04] nope..its a laptop not a notebook..but look here: https://www.system76.com/desktops/model/leopard this is amazing :D [14:05] & those laptops are EXPENSIVE [14:05] is this anything to do with ubuntu ? [14:05] yes actually [14:05] jordan4ibanez: what is the difference between laptop and notebook? Here they are almost synonims [14:05] jordan4ibanez: ok, could you get to the point in #ubuntu support please. [14:05] still arguing back and forth about 32bit or 64bit [14:06] laptops = less battery more power notebook= lighter and less power [14:06] nah, quiescens ... we ALL agree that, for rns , 64-bit is the way to go, period [14:06] hands down the best option for him [14:07] yep [14:07] MestreLion, still not exactly sure what added benefits I will get [14:07] faster speed [14:07] rns: then you'll need to do some more research [14:07] jordan4ibanez, from cpu? [14:07] rns: if you check out the PAE wiki page you'll see some of it's limitations [14:07] now THAT is a sweet box, jordan4ibanez [14:07] * Star_Light away [14:08] cpu, ram, video to ram speed, everything (except for hard disk if its not an ssd) will be sped up [14:08] MestreLion: meh, its not bad ;) [14:08] mestrelion yes i know :D [14:09] jordan4ibanez: not in love with the machine as I think mine is still over and above... however am in love with the site; tyvm for sharing :D [14:09] jordan4ibanez: here in Brazil there is no clear distinction between notebooks and laptops... at least not a clear definition... not to confuse with NETbooks, like Asus EeePC [14:09] can i instal backtrack 5 on xubuntu 11.10 by c/p sources.list ? === paul__ is now known as anaithnid [14:10] quiT: maybe... why don't you ask #backtrack ? [14:10] no one answers [14:10] w [14:10] quiT: no, you can't [14:10] quiT: #backtrack-linux will tell you how to install backtrack [14:10] Is it possible to registar a web ssl cert with a common name containing a wildcard? *.domainname.com? [14:11] LucidGuy: you need a wild card certficiate, very expensive [14:11] quiT: maybe #xubuntu will be able to... [14:11] MestreLion: no [14:11] ikonia, hmm .. never new that existed. [14:11] LucidGuy: $$ [14:11] ikonia, sounds dangerous [14:11] ikonia: sorry... [14:12] ok tnx to all ill try [14:12] LucidGuy: as in *.mywebsite.com ? [14:12] Network connections were not starting automatically on every reboot. After starting it manually it is working fine [14:13] MestreLion, yes .. a single wildcard for all hosts/sites of a domain. [14:13] karthick87: did it show as eth0 down? how did you make this determination?> [14:13] LucidGuy: as ikonia said, it's only dangerous to your pockets :P [14:13] ikonia, MestreLion RapidSSL has wildcart SSL certs for $199. [14:14] what directory should i install a program in? [14:14] LucidGuy: look at the protection level before buying, but this really isn't an ubuntu issue [14:14] looks like you already know the answer then... [14:14] nujabes: the installer puts them in the right place for you [14:14] ikonia, I know .. i just find many tek savvy individuals in here ... [14:14] spam [14:14] iknoia, i'm using tarballs === i22 is now known as leiot [14:14] I run chrome, and it says it should already have adobe flash installed, but visiting youtube it says its not. is this an exception for the linux version and I need to install manually anyway? [14:14] nujabes: then you configure it where ever you want - I'd strongly advise you not to use a tarball install unless you %101 have to [14:15] nujabes: what are you trying to install ? [14:15] my ubuntu goes to a black screen if there is no activity for 5 min or so, then I need to type my password to activate it again. how can I disable this option? [14:15] iknoia, latest version of eclipse [14:15] in the screensaver menu [14:15] nujabes: until you are more experienced with Ubuntu and Linux in general, we *strongly* recocmend you to stick with Software Center / PPAs / .debs. Do NOT install software otherwise, unless you really know what you're doing [14:16] nujabes: /usr/local is the canonical location for this sort of thing (/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib &cet.) [14:16] MestreLion, I'm using 10.10 and my repo doesn't have the latest version of eclipse === companion is now known as Companion [14:16] sipior, thanks [14:16] nujabes: Eclipse is not a tarball... meaning it does not need to configure, build or install. It is a self-contained app [14:17] nujabes: you can extract to your home folder if you want to... [14:17] Hi, would it be safe to install KDE Plasma desktop beside the default ones, unity, gnome? [14:17] What's a good quick-start thingy? I mean one that you get up by pressing eg. Super+space and lets you search for applications fast [14:17] i guess it's a launch bar [14:17] or what you could call it ... [14:18] MestreLion, lol okay sry about my miss-use of the term "tarball" [14:18] tyler_d: eth0 was up. But i was not able to ping any ip addresses. [14:19] hello, anybody knows for sure whether suspending the laptop calls fsync/fdatasync on the filesystems? [14:19] nujabes: no problem, it is very common. "tarballs" are formally just like any other zip files. But, in Linux context, it usually means "source code that you configure, build and install" [14:19] im trying to burn MPG movies to DVD. i've been getting a horrible skipping problem with NTSC, but if I create the DVD with PAL formatting, it seems to work fine.. anyone have any experience with this? [14:20] m1chael: what software are you using? [14:20] ffmpeg, dvdauthor, and growisofs [14:21] rye: i would have to guess it does unless someone dropped the ball [14:21] m1chael: have you tried reading their FAQs to know if this is a known / common issue? [14:21] yes, not much info exists in terms of skipping [14:22] m1chael: because this sounds a lot like an app-especific issue [14:23] rye: interesting question. i believe the answer is no, based, for example, on this thread: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/817326 [14:23] Launchpad bug 817326 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "[Upstream] Previously-saved LibreOffice document lost by power outage (became 0 bytes long) - LibreOffice should call fsync" [Critical,Fix committed] [14:23] rye: you could conduct a little experiment with strace/ltrace, if you're so inclined :-) [14:24] how do I get git 1.7.1 in 10.04? [14:24] Vooloo: same way as any other "backport": look for an existing PPA, or compile it yourself [14:25] Vooloo: but.. why 1.7.1 ? git is already at 1.7.10 [14:25] MestreLion: smartgit wants it [14:25] ... and smartgit is ? [14:25] rye: ah no, i'm being stupid. that thread references a power loss, not a suspend. still, an experiment would be interesting. [14:26] 1.7.1+ that is.. the one in ubuntu is 1.7.0.4 ... smartgit is a GUI [14:27] Vooloo: smartgit is not in the repos [14:27] MestreLion, hey i put eclipse in my /home, but the terminal wont take the command "eclipse" so idk how to make a launcher === juan is now known as Guest82197 [14:28] nujabes: you must either provide the full path to the launcher, OR copy / symlink the executable to somewhere in your $PATH [14:29] hello [14:29] I have a problem with /etc/sudoers [14:29] nujabes: where is the eclipse executable located? [14:29] can somebody help? [14:29] um [14:29] spanish speaking guy [14:29] c3sso: just say the problem... [14:29] you there? forget your name [14:30] c3sso: #ubuntu+1 please. [14:30] MestreLion, here the path /home/jon/bin/eclipse [14:30] c3sso: that is where 12.04 support is [14:30] i creat a bin folder [14:30] mcruz quit? [14:30] /home/jon/bin/eclipse , you sure? or /home/jon/eclipse/bin/ ? [14:30] just was there [14:30] nobody seemed to know... [14:30] c3sso: I know, so you need to wait for an answer, or log a bug [14:30] c3sso: this channel doesn't support the beta products [14:31] ikonia, mate can you tell me how to connect to adhoc network via terminal [14:31] when I run "wine" in ubuntu 11.10 .... and move the mouse inside the desktop-window, wine freezes!! ... does n e body know why ? ...and how to fix? [14:31] right if it was a bug, I [14:31] MestreLion, well its really /home/jon/bin/eclipse/eclipse . I ran it by point and click [14:31] LukeNukem: iwconfig [14:31] I just thought maybe I am to dumb [14:31] nujabes: did it work ? [14:31] c3sso: then wait in #ubuntu+1 for someone to work it through with you [14:31] Hi folks, quick question... i changed my kernel to virtual one... how to check if grub is correctly configured? [14:31] well, ok [14:32] MestreLion, yeah i'm just trying to crate a launcher [14:32] hi [14:32] hate to have to go in there just to run it lol [14:33] # [14:33] nujabes: choosing your ~/bin folder to extract eclipse is not a good idea... you see, ~/bin is kind of a "special" folder... all executables you place there can be invoked directly via terminal, no need to use full path [14:33] I installed the Cairo Dock and now the process-bar or task-bar or whatever it's called in GNOME is in the way - how do I remove it and/or what is it called? [14:33] hi [14:34] nujabes: on the other hand, it is a PERFECT place for you to copy (or better, symlink) the eclipse executable so you can launch eclipse by simply typing... "eclipse" :D [14:34] MestreLion, well i made the bin folder in my home folder. is that a problem? [14:35] nujabes: no, not at all... actually, i would suggest you to do so [14:35] derek: hello [14:35] nujabes: but don't extract the eclipse folder there [14:35] #oesterreich [14:35] nujabes: leave that dir to place only executables [14:35] derek2: hello2 [14:36] hi [14:37] nujabes: so, my suggestion? extract eclipse to ~/opt instead (meaning /home/jon/opt/eclipse), and then symlink the executable from there to ~/bin . Use this command: ln -s ~/opt/eclipse/eclipse ~/bin === Knorre`BNC is now known as Knorre [14:38] MestreLion, what's symlink? [14:38] nujabes: this way you will have the best of all worlds: your Eclipse install will be self-contained at /home/jon/opt/eclipse , you can use /home/jon/opt for other self-contained software you install in the future, AND you will be able to launch eclipse just typing eclipse, no need to give the full path [14:39] nujabes: symlink are... err.. man... [14:39] nujabes: they're *like* shortcuts [14:39] nujabes: think of them as "shortcuts" ... [14:40] MestreLion, this sounds great thanks, i'll let you know if it work [14:40] but, unlike the .lnk files in Windows, symlinks are REAL shortcuts... they are "understood" anywhere in the OS... not only desktop, but terminal, inside software, etc [14:41] nujabes: so, for all intents and purposes, ~/bin/elipse will be the SAME as ~/opt/eclipse/eclipse [14:41] MestreLion, lol i want to ask if they were like shortcut but i have making window references on here [14:42] MestreLion, oh i fallow ya === Sergevg is now known as svg [14:42] nujabes: if the references help, there is no problem. But... symlinks are MUCH better than window's shortcuts... much more powerful... you should really google about it... or read at wikipedia [14:43] I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome-shell. Sometimes randomly my left mouse button stops working and so does my keyboard. I can't get into the application dock (by moving my cursor to the top-left of the screen) but I can still move it and right click. Anyone have a similar problem or want to help me troubleshoot? [14:43] <[Si]> MestreLion Windows supports Symbolic links too, mklink blah.txt c:\temp\blah.txt [14:43] MestreLion, so do i have to make opt folder? [14:43] nujabes: and they are present for decades in Linux/Unix world, and heavily used [14:43] When i try to run: sudo curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh i get the error: Please try running this command again as root/Administrator. But I have already put sudo in front??? [14:44] [Si]: humm, but that is a relatively recent NTFS feature... only on Vista onwards... and they have some serious restrictions [14:44] MestreLion, just saved symbolic link wikipedia page, gona read it after this [14:44] diverdude: sudo does not pass across IO redirection operators. [14:44] :) [14:44] [Si]: pre-vista, the best you could have are "junctions", with are dir-only symlinks... and only to the same filesystem [14:44] diverdude, you might need it again after the pipe [14:45] <[Si]> MestreLion this is 2012 ;) who uses vista [14:45] diverdude: so: curl whatever | sudo sh would work (although you you should be aware that this might potentially be dangerous, running unknown scripts etc) [14:45] diverdude, Pici is right [14:45] nujabes: yes, create the ~/opt folder... for now, you will only have eclipse... but in the future, might be useful for other self-contained apps you might choose to install [14:45] <[Si]> diverdude ans pici says download the script first, look at it in an editor and check it's not doing anything horrid. [14:46] [Si]: this is 2012... which Windows users know what is mklink or junctions ? [14:46] I'm looking for gcc 4.7 packages for ubuntu 11.10 [14:46] how come I can't find any? [14:47] MestreLion, okay ~/opt made and ready. now i put ~/opt/eclipse ? [14:47] nujabes: also, make SURE eclipse's executable is really at ./eclipse/eclipse (are you sure it is not ./eclipse/bin/eclipse ?) [14:47] <[Si]> MestreLion true true, Linux is where it's at :) [14:48] I'm running ubuntu in a virtual machine as a test/web env... I have a symlink connected to /media/sf_www and that is owned by root:vboxsf... When I try to go to my website in my environment (which I've easily done before doing this symlink) I get "forbidden"... Is there any issue with chowning /media/sf_www to www-data:www-data? [14:48] MestreLion, yep there's no bin folder is side [14:48] So I guess no one wants to help me troubleshoot why my left mouse button and keyboard become unresponsive sometimes... [14:48] meowsus: or maybe no one knows *how* to help you [14:48] if I want to completely remove/uninstall a program, with all its configurations, dependencies and other files that will no longer be in use, what do I do? [14:48] MestreLion, MAYbe everyone hates me! [14:49] * meowsus cries millions of tears [14:49] meowsus, what release are you using? [14:49] 11.10 [14:49] with gnome-shell [14:49] Zaitzev: 2 things: sudo apt-get purge , and also delete the package's config dir in your home folder (if any) [14:49] I realize that my keyboard doesn't actually become unresponsive, because i can still hit Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down to switch screens. [14:50] MestreLion, okay step two. how do i crate symlink? [14:50] But I can't hit the super key or go to the top left of the screen to access the gnome-shell dock. Makes me think that this is a gnome-shell bug... [14:50] better yet, is there a way to open a file to view by any and everybody? [14:50] meowsus, I see it on occasion with the development rarely with 11.10, but in the gnome-shell as that's what I default to now, not sure why it hapens though. [14:50] Zaitzev: your user prefs are are usually located at ~/.package or ~/.config/package [14:50] MestreLion: So purge will uninstall and remove every association with the program? And then a manual delete of the config-dir afterwards? [14:50] Fyodorovna, how do you get around it? [14:51] MestreLion: What if said program has dependencies also used by other programs, will they also be removed or remain? [14:51] Zaitzev: purge will delete the software and all *system-wise* configuration. But it's up to you to delete the *personal* configuration [14:51] I understand [14:52] meowsus, I have a conky so I look to see if the cpu and or the gpu are maxed. In the development I have has to reisub softshutdown with 11.10 it seems to resolve after a short time, but rarely happens in 11.10. [14:52] s/has=had [14:52] Mestre: The thing is, yesterday I installed lubuntu-desktop, and it was a ~400 MB download (a lot of extra stuff I assume), and the login screen has changed to Lubuntu. And I don't like it. [14:52] Zaitzev: and dependencies will not be removed, UNLESS they A) were installed *because* of that package and B) no other package depends on it [14:53] <[Si]> here4thegear have you got "Options FollowSymLinks" in your apache config? [14:53] MestreLion, thanks I made the smylink with the command you gave [14:53] Zaitzev: use TAB to autocomplete my name... without highlight, I might miss your lines [14:53] hi [14:53] MestreLion: I know, I thought I had autocomplete on, wanted to test ;) [14:53] need help [14:53] pleaaseeeee [14:54] where help [14:54] sdd, ask a question then [14:54] [Si]: will check... is that different than having it in virtualhost file in apache2/sites-available/default [14:54] ok [14:54] MestreLion: What I really want to do is sort of clean up the system, remove crap I never ever use, without affecting system stability [14:54] Zaitzev: you can change the default session before you login. Don't like LXDE? Just log in in Unity, don't need to remove LXDE [14:54] my question is [14:54] Hi all. I have an 11.04 desktop that is using 3GB of swap, but the chrome, the highest mem usage process, is using only about 500MB. What gives? this machine is doing nothing, vm.swappiness=0, but swap usage is through the roof. mem leak somewhere I cannot find? [14:54] hi there [14:54] is sb here who can help me [14:54] my question is [14:54] sdd, ask your question all on one line [14:54] ok [14:55] sdd: heavens sake man [14:55] my question is who can help me [14:55] MestreLion: Oh, I'm logging into Ubuntu Unity, but the login screen used to be the Ubuntu one, now it's Lubuntu. And I have to type in both username and password now..annoying to say the least. [14:55] How can I add my university's (unofficial) mirror to the list of available package mirrors? [14:55] I discovered that there is xchat in the software center and thus I installed it, and freenode here was preset with port 8001, is that OK or should I switch it back to 6667? [14:55] sdd, thats not an actual ubuntu support question [14:55] ah okkay [14:55] Zaitzev: delete the same package you installed... all the other packages that were installed as dependencies will be automatically removed too if no other package depends on it [14:55] I want to read and store every script pasted over pastebin.com, how can I do that..? [14:55] <[Si]> here4thegear if you want apache to follow your symbolic links you'll need that in the Dirconfig for your site. [14:55] then my question is [14:55] Lunar_Lander, for use with ssl? [14:55] bemasc: /etc/apt/sources.list I assume [14:55] who is there to support me [14:55] bazhang, just for normal operation [14:55] i am using linux [14:56] sdd, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:56] hi, I'm trying to burn an iso to a usb key - do I just do write to disk? [14:56] sdd actual support questions here [14:56] i am using in ubuntu [14:56] shomon, use unetbootin for that [14:56] thanks [14:56] MestreLion: Yeah that sounds logical. Is there a way to see WHAT the package did install? In case I want to keep a couple of things (or reinstall separately) [14:56] 11.94 i use [14:56] bazhang, as I said FreeNode was in the server list already and had that port as well [14:56] hi all [14:56] [Si]: yeah, in it's on for all directories in my virtual host file [14:56] sdd and you have yet to ask a question, so please stop the nonsense [14:56] got a 4GB USB flash drive that's giving me errors when I try to reformat it. "Read-Only filesystem" I don't need to keep the data on it, just want to reformat it for normal everyday use. what should my next step be? [14:56] Zaitzev: That's not quite what I mean. Synaptic offers a long list of mirrors. I want to add one to that list. I've been grep'ing my hard drive but I can't figure out where the list is stored. [14:56] I run chrome, and it says it should already have adobe flash installed, but visiting youtube it says its not. is this an exception for the linux version and I need to install manually anyway? [14:56] i use 11.94 [14:56] efq;neoprigoogle.comgoogle.com [14:56] shomon: Is that an ubuntu iso? [14:57] ok [14:57] hello, Im running ubuntu 11.10 (oneric oscelot unity) should I upgrade to the 12.04 beta? advantages? disadvantages? any input is appreciated :] [14:57] <[Si]> here4thegear check the error log file /var/log/apache2/error.log it should give you more idea of what's causing the 403 error. [14:57] i use ubuntu 11.94 [14:57] Fyodorovna, yeah, I've noticed it only twice, but I was curioius. I gotta get conky back on this machine. Thanks so much! [14:57] sdd: you mean 11.04 [14:57] newbiedelznufus, wait for release [14:58] sdd there is no such version [14:58] ok thanks [14:58] no@i mean 11.94 [14:58] or 11.10 [14:58] Zaitzev: humm, good question... I'm sure there is , but I don't know how. You might check Synaptic or Aptitude for that. I know where you can see the dependencies list of a given package, but that will only tell you what the package requires, not what was actually pulled (because you may had already installed one of the depencies) [14:58] sdd: how old are you [14:58] meowsus, no problem hope you get it resolved. :) [14:58] MestreLion, it didn't work in the terminal :( , but the smylink works :) [14:58] ? [14:58] newbiedelznufus: Have a look here> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=412 [14:58] ok 11.10 [14:58] it is [14:59] nujabes: the symlink works? great! now log out and back in... and the terminal will work ;) [14:59] !enter | sdd [14:59] sdd: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line.

[14:59] thanks philinux [14:59] ok well i wanthave gnome2 [14:59] in 11.10 [14:59] im pretty much a begginer, couple more questions. :] [14:59] MestreLion, yeah!!! thanks [14:59] !notunity | sdd [14:59] sdd: 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 [14:59] MestreLion: I think I read somewhere that you can look at synaptic history or something like that. It's not that important, really. Thanks for your help! :) [15:00] noooooooo gnome2 [15:00] Zaitzev: for the dependencies list, right-click a package in Synaptic, or use apt-cache show [15:00] sdd: you can't. If you want something like it, try gnome fallback mode, or Xubuntu. [15:00] sdd: >http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859961 [15:00] sdd there is no gnome2. its gone. [15:00] <[Si]> here4thegear does the target have permissions read permissions for www-data? [15:00] shit [15:00] sdd, there is a gnome classic similar to gnome 2 in the gnome-shell install [15:00] why gone [15:00] MestreLion: "show" parameter huh, gotta remember that one. Might be really useful. [15:00] sdd no cursing [15:00] Zaitzev: yes...

I should get a raise :P [15:02] Hexadron, #ubuntu-cz for that [15:02] yo Myrtti [15:02] some other distro which supports gnome2 [15:02] Hexadron: no [15:02] sdd: debian 6 [15:02] sdd: 10.04 supports gnome2 [15:02] [Si]: no. and that's the problem... I can't chown the target folder because it's owned by root:vboxsf and vbox won't let me chown it... so how can I go about giving apache the ability to rw to items owned by root:vboxsf ? [15:02] Very thanks bazhang [15:02] also whats the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu 2d at login? [15:02] sdd thats offtopic here. lets move on [15:03] ok [15:03] can i report a bug [15:03] in launchpad? [15:03] sdd: they all are moving to Gnome3 apart from some fringe distros that are trying to keep on developing it with a new team [15:03] newbiedelznufus, one is less resource intensive [15:03] sdd: about what? [15:03] sdd: that would be where you do it. [15:03] sdd: Linux Mint supports MATE, which is a gnome2 fork... [15:03] newbiedelznufus: Unity is the 3d version using compiz [15:03] about unity [15:03] which file should be edited for gnome panel properties/launcher properties? can anyone please help? [15:03] sdd: if you find a bug with it, sure [15:03] newbiedelznufus: Sorry meant the ubuntu option is ^^ [15:04] i already found. it is called unity [15:04] afternoon everyone [15:04] i assume ubuntu 2d is the less resource intensive choice? [15:04] is it possible to get nautilus to search contents of PDF files? [15:04] newbiedelznufus: Correct [15:04] <[Si]> here4thegear that's a share from the virtual box host? I think you'd be better off using NFS or CIFS to share the folder *from* the web server to your other PCs [15:04] great. (ollllld pc) [15:04] but ubuntu runs great [15:04] thanks guys [15:04] nice move ikonia [15:05] moin! [15:05] im just using gnome shell on ubuntu 11.10 and its says that all of my extensions are not compatible with this version of gnome shell. does anyone know why this could be? [15:05] [Si]: I will try it that way... thanks, good suggestion [15:05] *thinks there as some complete plokers about today and need kicking [15:05] I have the default theme installed and am not able to change it [15:05] hey does ubuntu support the new open source ontario drivers? [15:05] I am about to buy a new desktop computer, and I'd like to know how is the support for video on newer chipsets - [15:06] gwidion_: take a live cd to the store and ask if you can boot it [15:06] how is (k)ubuntu 11.10 and the rpeleases of 12.04 working with intel Z68 motherboars and integated graphics [15:06] caf4926: I intend to have it custom built- it is better for upper range machinnes where I live. [15:07] <[Si]> here4thegear if it's windows that you want to share to this will open it to everyone on your network "sudo apt-get install samba" then "net usershare add wwwstffs /path/to/wwwstuffs Everyone:f guest_ok=y" [15:07] gwidion_: most integrated work well [15:07] I could not find any web references to either ubuntu, or jst the kernel working with the z68 chipset. [15:07] caf4926: Any idea if the 3D support is ok? [15:07] does anyone know why it would say the gnome shell extensions are not compatible? [15:07] (it woudl use intel's sandy bridge CPU. [15:08] Hi, I am try having issues with both operating system on my hard disk. Things I have done are a MEM test to rule that out. And now I am on a live disc trying to do a filesystem check on /dev/sda but always says it is busy [15:08] I have a z68, but not running Ubuntu [15:08] gwidion_: in general, Intel graphics have better Linux mainline kernel support than other vendors. but stuff takes time to get merged, and Ubuntu draws from stable kernel source, so stuff that less than 6 months old may not have landed in Ubuntu yet. [15:08] ubuntu, open the Disk Util and look at the SMART data [15:08] nice move ikonia [15:09] compdoc: nice to know - my main interest is to know if I can have acelerated 3d video in a recent linux distro [15:09] compdoc: the drive is not mounted either. [15:09] ubuntu, dont need to mount it to look at SMART [15:09] mneptok: It is about 1 year old now. Is tehre a place (changelog on the web, etc) where I could check for that? [15:10] compdoc: and the live disc is kde flavor === jsec is now known as jsex [15:10] compdoc: so command line would be better [15:11] there isnt a kde disk util? then the command: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda [15:11] or whatever drive [15:11] gwidion_: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=z68+intel+linux [15:12] what is the best way to get unetbootin? I downloaded it from sourceforge but still trying to get this executable to work [15:12] Q: I have Line6 guitar port (external sound card). I have installed line6 usb linux driver - properly. Card works when plugged in after Ubuntu 11.10 started. However Line6 connected before copmuter startup causes kernel panic. Any ideas? [15:12] maybe best via apt? [15:12] shomon, are you on ubuntu now? it's in the repos [15:12] ubuntu: you say the disk is always busy when you try filesystem tools? Then open a terminal and type "mount" and paste the results here... it should give some clues *where* it is mounted to [15:12] yes - ah will try [15:12] ok does anyone know a good repository for gnome shell extensions? [15:12] zlatkojov: I suspect it's a bug with that module, just plug it in after the machine boots [15:13] sorry should have tias [15:13] MestreLion: it is not mounted [15:13] zlatkojov: as I recall on this line6 provide it as a closed source drop in module [15:13] Any way to run Stronghold Kingdoms on Ubuntu? I've tried wine, no luck, steam is fine but stronghold keeps crashing and restarting... [15:13] ubuntu: and who says it's "busy" ? [15:13] Ikonia: Oh my God! Would I have to plug in/out on every startup!? [15:13] melvincv: please don't cross post [15:13] zlatkojov: it'a usb card isnt it ? [15:14] yes it is [15:14] Does Ubuntu 11.10 come with an FTP-server? If not, can you recommend one? [15:14] melvincv, Stronghold Kingdoms is a Windows game? [15:14] zlatkojov: not excatly a massive issue to just unplug/plug in [15:14] melvincv: try to see if there are any wine custom settings for that game in #wine-hq , or PlayOnLinux [15:15] how can I add annother sorting category to the file-open dialog [15:15] ? [15:15] ikonia, you mean in many channels at once? [15:15] <[Si]> there's an open source driver here http://sourceforge.net/projects/line6linux/ [15:15] Compdoc, yes [15:16] ikonia: thanks - at least we clarified the problem. I check with Markus (person who wrote driver) is there any way to fix this bug... [15:16] Xabster: there are many in the repos. Try FileZilla [15:16] I got filezilla, but that's the client I think [15:16] MestreLion, thanks. I'll try that. [15:16] MestreLion, Xabster: Filezilla does not have a ftp server for Linux, only a client. [15:16] melvincv, for the best windows graphics on linux, your best bet is Virtualbox [15:16] Yeah, thanks [15:17] I need a server :) [15:17] Xabster: why FTP? [15:17] What do you suggest? [15:17] (here we go again) [15:17] SFTP [15:17] Xabster: will every user you expect to connect via FTP also have a Unix account on the system? [15:17] guys how can i mount a usb drive [15:17] he he, that game crashed on XP SP3 on Virtualbox too. === gecko_ is now known as itmannen [15:18] Xabster: there is vsftpd [15:18] mneptok, no, none of them will [15:18] Xabster: so you'll have anonymous access and such. [15:18] deicon: usually, just plugging it in [15:18] I plan on making a simple 1-user account setup and give it to those who need it, mneptok [15:19] I dislike the anonymous way [15:19] MestreLion: doesnt work [15:19] Xabster: oh, then SFTP is the way to go. [15:19] Xabster: PM? [15:19] sure [15:20] compdoc, it gives me a directx error. I have Intel G33 chipset on the host system. [15:20] deicon: what kind of usb drive? [15:20] MestreLion: toshiba usb 2.0 [15:21] deicon: just to rule out hardware issues: have you tested in another OS / System ? [15:21] MestreLion: yes and worked fine [15:22] anyone in here play uplink if so how do i get it to re-install to my system the ppa gives me a 404 error everytime [15:22] was it the same machine? [15:22] MestreLion: yes [15:23] does anyone know where i can get the latest versions of gnome shell extensions? [15:23] much appreciated [15:23] is there a way to use the mouse as a joystick? i want to play xwing vs tie fighter, but no joystick [15:23] deicon: install pastebinit package, and then please run dmesg | grep usb | pastebinit [15:23] shaneo, check /var/cache/apt/archives, the package may still be there [15:23] post the URL here [15:24] AndyUbuntu, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/official-gnome-shell-extensions.html [15:24] thanks shaneo [15:24] np [15:25] MestreLion: you mean dmesg | tail -n 16 ? [15:25] Mech0z: that was strange computer rebooted while on live disc too [15:25] dlentz, no its not there [15:25] Oh, I guess the trouble with graphics card access for Virtualbox is my CPU does not support Intel VT. No chance of h/w direct access without that, right? [15:25] ubuntu ? [15:25] think you miss typed [15:26] deicon: tail -n 16 is not enough [15:26] Mech0z: was nt I talking to you before? [15:26] shaneo, this was the reop i was using beofe, it keeps saying that versions are not compatible :S [15:26] maybe it was MestreLion [15:26] ubuntu nope I havent used IRC today [15:26] ok [15:26] deicon: it will only show the last 16 event lines... which may or may not be related to your usb drive... [15:27] have you come across this before/ [15:27] ? [15:27] MestreLion: but i didnt get nothing from this === jokapps is now known as kalamar [15:27] how so I output dmesg directly to a pastebin page? [15:27] im sure they are all up to date [15:27] deicon: dmesg | grep usb does not show anything at al?!?! [15:27] just dont know why I am not able to use them [15:28] ubuntu: installing the pastebinit package and then piping any ommand output to it === hari_ is now known as harikt === i22 is now known as leiot [15:28] MestreLion: no [15:28] Zaitzev: used grep; turns out the answer is "/usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.mirrors" [15:28] MestreLion: so dmesg | pastebinit [15:28] ap [15:28] MestreLion: wrong [15:29] MestreLion: i ll give you the link [15:29] ubuntu: that will paste ALL your dmesg log.. which might be very big [15:29] Does anybody have experience with Likewise Open / Beyondtrust PBIS? [15:29] MestreLion: http://pastebin.com/AcMDYi0E [15:29] ok i have a netbook and sometimes (with some applications) the dialog boxes or program themsefls just dont fit on the screen [15:29] MestreLion: how would I know what section I want if I dont know what the issue is? [15:29] I lost root passwprd [15:30] on my aspire i can soom away from the desktop and reposition the windo then zoom back in on it. [15:30] what is that called...i though it was desktop switcher.. [15:31] Ubuntu, dmesg | cat > file.name [15:31] ubuntu: what is your issue? [15:31] I tried to reset root password in recovery mode. But that passsword works only in recovery mode [15:31] mun24: the root password is locked by default [15:32] MestreLion: computer reboots upon boot [15:32] mun24: you should not be changing it [15:32] mun24: ubuntu uses "sudo" as an authentication model [15:33] You can use. sudo sh to open a shell [15:33] deicon: [ 5155.160311] usb 1-2: device descriptor read/all, error -71 that looks suspitious [15:33] MestreLion: I thought it was a / hd issue because it does it on windows too. Also did a mem test too [15:33] MestreLion: everything look suspicious [15:33] MestreLion: /dev/sda contains windows and ubuntu / [15:34] MestreLion: looks :P [15:34] Ubuntu, could be power supply [15:34] ikonia: Then how can I recover root password [15:34] mun24: you do'nt need to [15:34] mun24: you use "sudo" to perform root actions [15:34] mun24: the root password does not exist by default [15:34] MestreLion: its just the name lol [15:34] droid-0854: ya I thought that now that it did it on the livedisc too [15:34] deicon: now unplug it, replug it, and run dmesg | tail -n 50 | pastebinit [15:34] MestreLion: of the usb [15:34] ubuntu, did you try smartctl as I suggected? [15:34] suggested === Vagnerd_ is now known as Vagnerd [15:35] Why does compiz always show it's using something like 60-70% cpu (via top)? Is there something specific that I have going that might be causing this? Could it be because I have several (4) monitors? [15:35] ikonia: I have 2 users in that. I am able to reset in recovery mode but unable to login normally with them [15:36] MestreLion: http://pastebin.com/KFmptUcs [15:36] mun24:do you login from the console or over ssh? [15:36] console [15:37] Doesn't sudo as an authentication model to do root tasks break any kind of security in a multi-user environment? I mean, if a regular user can just 'sudo apt-get' stuff, it could wreak havoc if the user is malicious. [15:37] MestreLion: how can i mount the usb to a mountpoint [15:37] mun24: have you tried to use sudo -s and change password for root? [15:37] CharminTheMoose: that's why only the initial user is added to /etc/sudoers to begin with. [15:37] CharminTheMoose: don't add the user to the sudoers group.. [15:38] rogst: no ! [15:38] there is no need to change/set the root users password [15:38] mun24: what is the name of the user you cannot login with [15:38] CharminTheMoose: sudo actually allows for a broad range of actions and controls for superuser privilege; it's not an all-or-nothing affair. [15:38] normal user [15:38] deicon: ok, it is correctly recognized as sdb1, this is good... let's see if it's not already mounted somewhere: mount | pastebinit [15:39] ikonia: I know there should not be a need for it but perhaps he want to enable the root account [15:39] True, sipior. I guess I was thinking about the initial user. [15:39] CharminTheMoose: for example, a user could be permitted to run a small, carefully-selected number of programs as root. [15:39] the model for security that I use, is that ssh logins are not permitted via passwords, only via ssh keys. Then the users password, in effect becomes a "personal root password". [15:39] deicon: also, install disc utility from software center and see if it gives any relevant info. [15:39] (if they have sudo rights) [15:40] MestreLion: http://pastebin.com/J5Kb9D7X [15:40] MestreLion: its installed [15:40] Pumpkin-, basicall, you copy your key up to the server then sudo as the user and add that key to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file right? [15:40] no [15:41] MestreLion: when i try to mount it from disk utility it says that Daemon is inhibited === mike_ is now known as Guest83146 [15:41] deicon: is gparted running? [15:42] deicon: some utilities, like gparted, inhibit auto-mounting of usb drives... [15:42] G [15:43] ... [15:43] ..cz [15:43] deicon: usually, just closing the app and re-plugging the hdd is enough for it to auto-mount and show in nautilus [15:43] MestreLion: i tried with g parted on or off === Robinux is now known as sw0rdfish [15:44] MestreLion: okay i mounted it [15:44] deicon: close gparted, replug hdd, open disk utility. Still "Daemon is inhibited" ? [15:44] MestreLion: okay fixed [15:44] how? [15:45] MestreLion: lol i believed that gparted is off but it was on [15:45] MestreLion: so many windows [15:45] lol ;) [15:45] does it auto-mount now when plugged? === jack is now known as Guest67589 [15:46] MestreLion: wait [15:46] just realise the gnome-shell extensions are not working in the latest version of gnome-shell(3.3) has anyone come across this also? [15:46] you shouldn't be required to maually mount any usb drives, altought you always can.. either with Disk Utility (which uses fuser), OR sudo mount command [15:46] 1.) I turn off password logins in sshd_config. 2.) I get users to give me ssh public keys when I create accounts and add them to the users .ssh/authorized_keys file. 3.) I give that user whatever sudo rights they need, and set the password to change on next login (passwd -e). [15:47] grendal-prime: sorry for the slow answer, got a call [15:47] I had an auto mount error and ended up formattin :( [15:47] MestreLion: okay its auto mounted now [15:47] new newbie here... is this a good place to ask about ubuntu server stuff? [15:47] deicon: for permanent mounts, you might edit /etc/fstab [15:47] hi, i have an issue that my touchpad is not working all of a sudden [15:47] MestreLion: i edit it but .. [15:47] jexpeck: sure. there's also #ubuntu-server. [15:48] MestreLion: i wanted to mount to make a bootable image in this usb [15:48] thats ok no need Pumpkin- i just was poking fun [15:48] MestreLion: idk i ve done this many times [15:48] I'm using Remmina Remote Desktop on a new ubuntu 11.04 install, is there a way to make it resize RDP's resolution to the current window size? [15:48] cool.. [15:48] MestreLion: but now doesnt work with unetbootin [15:48] deicon: maybe because unetbootin does not recognize it as a flash drive (well, it isn't) [15:49] hey guys how do i get chromium to import my firefox data it says theres no supported browser when i try to import [15:49] MestreLion: but i ve done it before [15:49] MestreLion: some time go [15:49] MestreLion: some time ago [15:50] deicon: you don't need fstab for that... it seems you don't want a permanent mount (do you?) [15:50] MestreLion: you have options about the drive (the selection) i mean but when i procced [15:50] MestreLion: it says that finished automatically [15:50] i am replacing a windoze based server and 10 workstations for a non profit... we're upgrading from 8 year old computers to 4 year old computers.. i want to use ubuntu destop and ubuntu server for the implementation.. question is do i have to have server hardware for ubuntu server edition or can i use a regular desktop? [15:50] MestreLion: and when i go to usb nothing in [15:50] goodaye guys [15:51] can anyone shed any light on this situation? [15:51] when you auto-mount stuff, they are mounted to ~/.gvfs/
