ryzzani have this "kitchen printer"... n i guess it's well configured (using cups)... but it returns an error (frequently) while printing... so i turn it off, than turn it on... n it completes the printing allright00:00
linxehkitchen printer? :)00:00
ryzzanit's like it looses contact to the pc for a minute and get back when i "reset" it...00:01
ryzzanlinxeh: google it00:01
OsamaObamaOer: iptables -L didn't show anything after my installation00:01
ryzzanit's an epson tm-u20000:01
linxehryzzan: nah, I'd rather not00:01
OerOsamaObama, there is no rule installed after installation00:01
ryzzanlinxeh: that's how i learned it is called in english00:02
linxeh(there are multiple products in that category for a start, I'm not sure it would help narrow down what you have)00:02
OsamaObamaOer: So its not used by default?00:02
OerOsamaObama, yep00:02
OsamaObamaOer: Why?00:03
myzOsamaObama, it is used, but is not set by default!00:03
OsamaObamamyz: How is it used? iptables -L showed nothing.00:03
Oersee the link obottu gave you00:04
Oerall you need is a gui to enable services/rules00:04
ryzzananyone knows what a "kitchen printer" is and have any experience with it?00:04
OsamaObamaOer: I know, gufw00:04
OsamaObamaOer: Well, thanks.00:04
Chipzzzryzzan: a printer that uses food dye instead of ink, maybe?00:05
myzOsamaObama, Yes it is used but you did not load it with your rules yet, if you typed "iptables -L -vn" you will find the counters00:05
OsamaObamamyz: Nice!00:05
ryzzanChipzzz: u could take a look on it in google n tell how u would call these kind of printers00:06
myzOsamaObama, welcome!00:06
Oerryzzan, is that printer set in highest resolution? maybe lower it could solve this00:06
Chipzzzryzzan: lol, sorry00:07
ryzzanChipzzz, no need... i was just wondering if there is any other name for those00:07
ryzzanOer, i've notice that when it gets the error, the o.s. can't find it when i try to add a new printer (it definitely "loses contact" while printing)00:08
ryzzanbut i don't want to turn it off n on everytime so i will be able to finish my printings...00:09
ryzzan:P00:09

stbasilQuestion: I installed 10.04 on a computer, everything went off w/o a hitch. I restart, go to desktop, check internet, it's all ok, then restart. Now after splash screen the screen turns into an oil slick rainbow then black and will not go further. Did not change any driver or graphic property; just restarted after first login and now it's kaput. I can get to terminal in recue mode but no idea what to do to resolve this...00:15

zoologistI'm a zoologist, and I use Perl & Ubuntu daily in my work, ask me anything.00:19
myzstbasil, does it turns to oil slick after prompted for uername and password or before?00:19

danipolois there a way to reset display remotely (w/out gui)?00:20
cryptotheslowryzzan, doesn't epson supply one?00:20
ryzzancryptotheslow, it's really old shit... they don't support it anymore... i've found old drivers for windows... but none for linux00:21
szalzoologist: this channel is not a question-and-answer game, especially not about zoology (if you want to show off your scientific expertise, please /join #ubuntu-offtopic).. if you want to help w/ *buntu questions, just stick around here & you'll find plenty of opportunity00:21
cryptotheslowryzzan, you may be able to extract the ppd file from the windows drivers if they are postscript rather than pcl/pjl drivers00:22
ryzzangonna try it... ty again, cryptotheslow00:23
=== dan__ is now known as Guest63000
cryptotheslowryzzan, if you find ppd's there the winNT one is the best bet. Adobe have some older ppd's as well http://www.adobe.com/products/printerdrivers/winppd.html#e    shame the sownload is some sort of .exe self extractor00:25
myzstbasil, have you tried to press ESC while the screen is black, if a list of kernels appeared to you try to select a different kernel00:25
stbasilmyz: no keyboard response during black00:26
myzdid you upgrade after installation?00:28
philipballew_HOw would I move files from a virtual box to my regular install?00:28

linxehryzzan: ok; the ones I've used have all been on ethernet00:34
cryptotheslowryzzan, what kind of connection? USB, Serial, Parallel?00:34
ryzzancryptotheslow, it's serial00:35
linxehryzzan: and how is it connected? USB->serial cable? or onboard serial port? or card?00:35
ryzzanlinxeh, will it work if i don't use the serial port n try it only with an ethernet cable? :P00:35

ryzzanit works ok... but it's the same... it seens it loses contact to the pc from time to time00:38
linxehI try and only buy ethernet printers - mainly because I find them more useful, but generally have less issues with them than any other connection. serial connections can be dodgy these days too IME - I reckon a lot of people dont understand flow control properly etc00:38

[[thufir]]trying to compile (with rvm) and getting the following error:  http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1531824     now, is the problem with the patch, perhaps, or in how I'm using it?01:17
ScG^Dedicatedyobamba, when did I ever say that?01:18
bazhangScG^Dedicated, lets stay on topic01:19
yobambaThing is, if say Ubuntu moves on and uses other kernels like the FreeBSD one, and even the HURD one, will people still call it Linux, even though there is no trace of it in the installed system?01:19
chris_Ubuntu 11.10.  I installed flash through the software center and through flash-aid.  I had also used flash video replacer, which I suspect is what might have caused the problem.01:19
bazhangyobamba, ?01:19
chris_I have since removed both addons.01:19
cryptotheslow:D01:19
bazhangyobamba, how is that related to ubuntu support? lets move on please01:19
MonkeyDustchris_  I had a similar issue, it turned out Gnash was installed and active -- problem solved by uninstalling Gnash01:20
bazhangchris_, you removed gnash? and the swf tool?01:20
chris_OK.  I'll try that.01:20
bazhangchris_, and you installed flash through two distinct and differing sources?01:20
[[thufir]]yobamba: no01:21

bazhangchris_, the issue is clearly relate d to you having installed flash from a multitude of sources, along with gnash and who knows what else01:23
bazhangchris_, completely purge flash and all the others from your system and reinstall only the ubuntu packaged one01:24

gmachine_24Hi. Using 11.04 - but the version has never mattered. On a notebook running Ubuntu, I cannot connect to my workgroup - although running any version of Windows on any computer I can or any version of Ubuntu when connected with a cable instead of wirelessly. This is true for ALL my laptops - 4+ and counting. Although my laptop(s) can 'see' that there is a Windows network - attempting to...01:57
bazhangwaters33637, as far as the other, we dont support polling the channel01:57
gmachine_24...connect to it or open it leads to the same error message every time - "Unable to mount location - failed to retrieve share list from server' ty in advance01:57
DulakYes, because running something as root that gives web access is a GREAT idea.01:58
waters33637wow ...talking is not polling ....01:58

chris_Yes, flash is installed.  I'm not having a problem with videos that just require flash to play.02:13

chris_Apparently, the videos that don't work are coded in HTML5.02:14

chris_Firefox version 11.002:14
hydesterchris_: try with chrome.  html5 support should work with youtube02:15
chris_I'll try.02:15
hydesternot sure how well firefox supports that02:15
hydesteri didn't think you can have youtube videos exclusively in html 5.  perhaps you need to opt out of the html5 trial, unless that is obe02:15
hydesterhttp://www.youtube.com/html5 and click remove02:16
chris_It was happening even when I was opted out though.02:16

gdea73hydester: thanks a lot for the help, but that line was already commented02:21
hydestergdea73: uninstall skype?02:21
gdea73the problem *started* with Skype, I've since purged skype and still can't get the mic working again. This is really frustrating.02:21
chris_HTML5 seems to work in Chrome, though a bit choppy in full screen.02:21
gdea73I used my mic last night to record music in Audacity, which I do regularly with this laptop, and often need to do02:21
gdea73Skype kind of ruined what was set up...02:22
haz3lnutchris_: that's gonna be your graphics card or your network connection02:22
gdea73is there a way to reset ALL audio preferences to defaults, because I have no idea what Skype did?02:22
gdea73(My microphone shows no audio in when I view it in the audio preferences. If I run alsa force-restart it sometimes works for 5-10 seconds.)02:22
chris_I'm not sure it's my graphics card.  The problem only cropped up recently.02:22
chris_It used to work fine before.02:23
chris_Well... It worked, but had a bit of audio lag in flash.02:23
hydestergdea73: maybe you were using pulseaudio and skype switched you out02:23
haz3lnutI get choppy playback on 1080p youtube videos.  It;s network delay.  I always drop down to 720p max.02:23
gdea73hydester: that's very possible. I've rebooted multiple times since then though. How do I switch back to, um..., alsa?02:24
chris_The video I tested it 360p.02:24

haz3lnuteew.02:24
chris_I know.02:24
hydesterchris_: try minitube02:24
gdea73chris_: I could be wrong but I didn't know if Chrome used hardware acceleration in HTML5 or not ... maybe it's not ?02:24
hydesterchris_: not the best answer, but may help you watch full screen, etc.  seems like you should be talking to google tech support.  talk to youtube people via g+02:25
haz3lnutmy html5 videos show great in chrome, but you could always download the video and replay in vlc to see if that changes things.02:25
gdea73hydester: do you think purging and reinstalling alsa would help, or would it screw things up to the point of reformatting, which I absolutely don't have time for?02:25
hydestercheck out /var/log/apt/history.log and maybe you can see what installing skype did02:26
gdea73I will, thanks02:26
chris_I personally don't know if Chrome uses hardware acceleration either, but I would actually prefer to have this fixed in Firefox.02:27
gdea73actually shoot Skype was installed a while ago, back when the mic worked, and the problems started only when I actually made the first call.02:27
haz3lnutreally though, html5 is just a transport mechanism, the real issue would be in the codec, is it webm or h.26402:27
chris_I'm not entirely sure, but I think chrome uses h.264.02:27
haz3lnutfirefox will be fixing soon as they just announce they will support h.264 in short order.02:27
chris_It might also support WebM though.02:27
chris_OK.02:28
haz3lnutchris_: both02:28
gdea73hydester: hm, I checked and the only thing regarding skype in the log was my recent purging of it.02:28
gdea73Should I try resetting Alsa? In the past that caused immense problems on a different PC, but I don't know what else to do at this point.02:28
chris_I only just recently put Ubuntu on this comp, so I can always just reinstall and get the standard setup back.02:29

xangua!nounity | superdave32103:04
ubottusuperdave321: 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 !classic03:04
MrHanjrahJeremy3D: disconnect it, then reconnect and in terminal type: dmesg | tail , that would give you some idea if the device is even recognized or not03:04

gdea73I'm kind of frustrated with this. My mic worked. I installed skype. It still worked. I made a Skype call. After which, no mic.03:17
gdea73now it only works for 5-10 seconds after boot or after a forced reload of alsa. i've removed skype, and reinstalled both alsa and pulseaudio, and the volume indicator03:17
CryptoAliengdea73: Do you have a driver for it?03:17
gdea73CryptoAlien: nope, it worked perfectly before without a specific driver03:17
ljtgdea73: you mind if i ask what make/model your computer (laptop?) is03:18
CryptoAliengdea73: Do you think maybe skype requires a driver for it?03:18
envision_GT35Rnightrider: thanks a huge list popped up that confuses me. I wont waste anytime flooding this channel with noob questions ill just grab a ubuntu book as planned lol..03:18
gdea73ljt: yeah, it's a Lenovo IdeaPad Z57503:18
gdea73CryptoAlien: perhaps, but I could care less about Skype now. I've removed it. I just want the microphone to work again, in any other application, i.e. Audacity. Which it doesn't anymore.03:19
nightrid3renvision_GT35R: the first column contains permissions the 3rd and 4th the owner03:19
proverseenvision_GT35R: don't waste time with printed books, things change fast enough with linux that by the time a book makes it to print it might be way behind the times. Searching forums and blog posts is usually more fruitful03:19
ljtgdea73: could you post one more thing for me - the output of the following commands (preferably sudo): lspci, lsusb, lshw03:20
dr-willisgdea73:  test with a newly made user. could be skype set some user spevific audio setting03:20
sacarlsongdea73: if I recall skype did some auto volume setting so I wonder if it changed some volume setting you don't see?03:20
sta7ichello, does anyone know what the effect is called when you minimize the window and it poofs away? i dont think its the same effect as the genie/vacuum effect but i might be wrong?03:20
nightrid3renvision_GT35R: 3 and 4 should be your username03:20

gdea73dr-willis: good call. That's what I was thinking. I will try it next, to see...03:21

cincinnatusIs there a good free Web-based Linux admin tool that works with Ubuntu? Back in the day, I used Webmin, but it's kinda dated03:24
gdea73sacarlson: well that's true... but ... what do I install? alsamixergui doesn't do much apparently03:24
bazhangcincinnatus, zentyal03:25
cincinnatusthanks03:25
sacarlsongdea73: I'm not sure I just installed this version, my 10.04 had one but forget name03:25
TylerWcincinnatus, webmin dated?03:26
gdea73Also, a somewhat separate issue, my CPU is supposed to "turbo" to 2.4 GHz when under load which it does not. The frequency scaler only has it go to 1.5.03:26
gdea73now granted it hits ~60C at 1.5 under 100% load so I'm not sure i'm willing to push it, lol03:26
dr-willis!ebox03:26
ubottuzentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04).03:26
cincinnatusTylerW: Well, it's still supported, but it *feels* like something from the 90s03:27
TylerWhrm, I LOVE it03:27
bazhangcincinnatus, its not supported in ubuntu nor debian03:27
TylerWbut, I guess if you're looking at graphics, etc. yeah its old. For me, its whatever gets the job done when I don't have time/am in a position where I can't open an SSH connection03:28
mkultra_install ssh?03:28

proversesame problem. internet is smarter then textbook publishers03:29
nightrid3renvision_GT35R: that dir is owned by root use sudo mv03:29
TylerWbazhang, is this stuff worth checking out for age-old webmin users and sys admins who don't hate GUIs like some, lol03:29
mkultra_i like gui, get's stuff done quick03:30
zykotick9TylerW: this is #debian's webmin factoid = Webmin is a lame web-based interface for unsafe system administration for Unix.  Check it out at http://webmin.com/  Remember, dondelelcaro *hates* webmin.  "i'd rather sit on the floor shoving table knives into live electrical outlets than run webmin on an exposed server."  Removed from Debian post-Sarge, see http://bugs.debian.org/343897 .  The Debian package from webmin.com is of poor q03:30

bazhangTylerW, zentyal? never used webmin or any other, so cannot advise, sorry03:30
cincinnatusbazhang: They do have a debian package03:30
envision_GT35Rnightrid3r: thanks night! Did a quick google searched and figured it out.03:30
zykotick9cincinnatus: see above ;)03:31
cincinnatusbazhang: Also, Ubuntu is listed in supported systems03:31
bazhang!webmin | cincinnatus03:31
ubottucincinnatus: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.03:31
TylerWmkultra: yes me too; I generally prefer cli for most procedures, but there are a few select procedures I can't stand doing without GUI... and I need to allow some staff to do things that can't type even "ls" and understand whats going on03:31
bazhangcincinnatus, by webmin perhaps. not by ubuntu nor debian see above03:31
mkultra_gui to load tons of cli to jump between03:31
gdea73sorry accidentally closed browser03:31
cincinnatusbazhang: agreed03:32
gdea73does anyone know a command to reset all audio related settings?03:32
TylerWnever knew about the potential issues of it... I'm using it on several systems with no problem; again, I only use it for select things, but I might try this zentyal out03:32
ceralesHow do I debug an upstart service? I'm trying ot start my service and it just hangs. there's nothign in syslog.03:32

gdea73sacarlson: I will try that one, thanks.03:33
gdea73sacarlson: what worries me is that the mic works for a second, and then when accessed by an application, it fails.03:33
CryptoAlienHi03:33
bruce?03:34
envision_GT35RHi how can I check if my video card has been installed onto my computer?03:34
sacarlsongdea73: oh that doesn't sound like a mixer thing then, i'm not sure03:34
gdea73envision_GT35R: do you see something on the monitor? :D lol03:34
bazhangenvision_GT35R, check the additional drivers setting03:34
envision_GT35Rgdea73: haha yeah xD, used to windows having to install extra drivers for it to work properly03:34
gdea73bazhang's right, yeah you will likely need proprietary drivers03:34
gdea73what's the card? ATi or nVidia?03:35
envision_GT35Rit is an ATI card03:35
gdea73envision_GT35R, then follow the tutorial for your version of Ubuntu at wiki.cchtml.com. That site is very helpful.03:36
envision_GT35R@ system info and it reads: Driver VESA:MADISON03:36
envision_GT35Rkk will do03:36

=== EoN` is now known as EoN
gdea73ljt: didn't seem to work, I get no audio after running killall, and if I run pulseaudio --start, then no mic again03:38
TylerWbazhang: can you state exactly what webmin does to screw up Ubuntu? I see forum posts from people claiming they love webmin and that people are saying to use zentyal instead but everyone quotes it does "naughty things" to your system but no one says what...03:38
gdea73oddly in gnome alsa mixer, the front mic is muted, If I unmute it then I hear its sound replayed in the speakers (but it still isn't really recognized, ,and I only hear clicking really)03:39
bazhanggdea73, installing from the amd site is not the recommended course of action03:39
gdea73static03:39
bazhanggdea73, using jockey is03:39
gdea73bazhang: well, I guess not. I just found that was the easiest way to get Catalyst 12.2 running.03:39
gdea73jockey-gtk I thought used the more thoroughly tested drivers, but also older Catalyst revisions. I guess it depends on the recency of thec ard.03:40
gdea73* the card.03:40
bazhanggdea73, the package manager is the best course of action.03:40
gdea73okay ;)03:40

gdea73ljt: I was able to run pulseaudio -D after reboot, giving me sound again, but still mic problems.03:46
GhostConnwhat about bridging two wired connections in ubuntu 11:10 I have a asus crosshair motherboard which has dual lan03:46
gdea73The mic showed up in the sound preferences for a few seconds, but then it stopped picking up audio shortly after03:46

Jeremy3DMrHanjrah, that didnt work. there is no permissions 40 file in ubuntu 11.10 it seems like03:48
TheSimkinGhostConn: just plug them both in, it should use the fastest routes03:48
gdea73I will kill Skype... some day...03:48
GhostConnin windows i can dl torrents on average (good seeds) around 4-7mbps in linux i get a wapping 1-2mbps with transmission03:48
gdea73well I'm going to try the new user idea.03:49
sacarlsonWickedWiccan: example : gnome-terminal --geometry=40x20+100+100 -t testnet -x ./multicoind -datadir=/home/sacarlson/.bitcoin/testnet03:49
GhostConni have both plugged in but i cant bridge them i can only use one connection with windows i can bridge them03:49
TheSimkinGhostConn: use ktorrent, enable encryption and don't use the default port. also make sure you're using upnp or open up the ports.03:49
TheSimkinGhostConn: bridging doesn't make sense in this case, you just want to use both networks.03:50
ljtgdea73: i just read an article about an issue with microphones - if the volume/gain is too high it can temporarily "break" the mic03:50
TheSimkinGhostConn: bridging is when you want to take two networks and make them "one" (hence a bridge).03:50
TheSimkinGhostConn: pretty sure you don't want to be a relay for the two isps :)03:50
GhostConni have port forwarding set with my router upnp  is enabled .. ok hears the thing with the nforse drive designed for my motherboard I can either bridge two connections or use one for uploading and one for downloading03:51
TheSimkinGhostConn: using one for uploading and one for downloading would make the peers think you're a total jerk.03:52
TheSimkinGhostConn: do what i said, youll get great speeds03:52
WickedWiccanok i selected my working directory and in te command spot i put ./example.sh it opens the terminal but says file not found although its clearly there03:52
GhostConni dont care like i said i use bitcommet and cheat engine 6.1 and i hit 8mps all day witha  good torrent in linux im hitting tops 2mb03:52

gdea73 aye I really need to figure out this sound/mic problem...03:59
sacarlsonTheSimkin: your right it's not bridging it's Channel Bonding / Link Aggregation is what GhostConn whats I think03:59
gdea73so in gnome alsa mixer if I unmute it, I hear loopback, but it doesn't record, etc.04:00
sacarlsongdea73: the record part is the capture settings04:00
mkultra_use qjackctl04:00
gdea73sacarlson: but Rec. is checked already, and it didn't seem to do anything04:01
GhostConnis it possible to run two 7970's in crossfire with ubuntu 11:1004:01
gdea73mkultra_: what's that?04:01
GhostConnor should i just stick with the one04:01
mkultra_qjackctl is like a patch pannel for sound, so u can hook anything to anything04:01
mkultra_connection board04:01
gdea73that sounds brilliant at this point...04:01
TheSimkinGhostConn: crossfire is ATI's version of SLI ?04:01
sacarlsongdea73: oh there is another setting for mic boost on some sound cards04:01
GhostConnyes04:01
TheSimkinGhostConn: sell your ati's and get nvidia :)04:01
GhostConnNEVER04:02
TheSimkini hate ati04:02
GhostConnlol04:02
gdea73sacarlson: yeah I saw that. The problem though isn't the volume, it's that I can't actually USE the mic in anything04:02

gdea73mkultra_: well, I get errors running the app, so I may try that later04:02
gdea73the problem I have is somewhere between pulseaudio and alsa, not sure where.04:03
GhostConni have a gtx 580 it has pretty good benchmarks but nothing compared to my 7970's i can get 68fps all day long04:03
sacarlsongdea73: without mic boost on my mike I don't hear anything,  but ya you said it works in feed back so that can't be it eather04:03
mkultra_yeah you gotta set it up04:03
mkultra_yeah pulse audio and alsa dont play nice04:03
gdea73sacarlson: well and it's not the boost, it's that it's literally unrecognized as a recording device after a second04:03
gdea73mkultra_: it worked by default. I installed Skype. it didn't work. I uninstalled Skype. It doesn't work.04:04
mkultra_make your rig so u can format it on a whim04:04
GhostConnlol04:05
sacarlsongdea73: might want to take a peak at what your audio card is with sudo lspci  and see if any others are having problems with it, if you didn't check that already04:05
gdea73mkultra_: ... I normally would agree to that, but I'm not in the right situation. This is my new laptop, it took me hours of pain and suffering to get the graphics and wireless drivers working, etc., and I'm leaving town tomorrow morning, early ... *pant*04:05
mkultra_im glad i did that to my laptop, i had to format it like 6 times since i got to school04:05
gdea73sacarlson: I'm not sure, I think it's an unnamed ATI, i.e. Device 17xx, and the problem is that it *worked* before - Skype changed some stupid setting somewhere and now it doesn't.04:06
gdea73this is why I want to reset all of the audio settings.04:06
mkultra_my advice, would be to remove pulse but that causes more problems, no youtube04:06
gdea73I already removed pulse and alsa and reinstalled them.04:06
gdea73YouTube playback is basically the difference between this shiny laptop and my 12 year old Inspiron lol04:06
sacarlsongdea73: take a closer look at sudo lspci and google with added skype in search04:06
gdea73sacarlson: I've got nothing else to do, but sleep, so I'll give it a shot.04:07
mkultra_sudo lspci | grep skype04:07
gdea73mkultra_: nothing, and I already removed Skype04:07
zykotick9mkultra_: that doesn't make any sense...04:07
gdea73that too lol04:07
mkultra_it doesnt make sense to you?04:08
zykotick9sacarlson: lspci doesn't typically need sudo04:08
gdea73I believe this is the audio controller: 00:01.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Device 171404:08
mkultra_i copied someone elses comment04:08
sta7icfor some reason, all my compiz options are grayed out, so i cannot disable/enable but all is working tho, any ideas?04:08
sacarlsonzykotick9: I wasn't sure so I just added it;  I think it's needed for lshw then?04:08
mkultra_need to install plugins04:08
GhostConninsall video driver lol04:08
gdea73wow I'm finding nothing for amd 1714 skype ubuntu, so idk04:08
zykotick9sacarlson: for lshw yes04:08
mkultra_you have no plugins or video driver04:08
gdea73is there nothing else I can do?04:09
TheSimkingdea73: you're trying to get skype working with your mic?04:09
gdea73any command that will purge audio configuration files and regenerate them? that's truly what I need04:09
sacarlsonzykotick9: gdea73: not sure  sudo lshw  ;  adds more info or what maybe look at that too04:09
gdea73TheSimkin: I'm trying to get my mic back to working status after messing with Skype.04:09
TheSimkingdea73: mess with pulseaudio settings yet?04:09
mkultra_reboot04:09
gdea73TheSimkin: I tried, to some extent. The mic worked perfectly by default. Skype screwed it up. Removed skype, still problematic.04:09
gdea73mkultra_: done so multiple times :/04:10
TheSimkingdea73: play with pulse audio some more.04:10
TheSimkingdea73: that's what i had to do.04:10
WanderingEnderDoes #Ubuntu have an alternative to torrentflux?04:10
TheSimkingdea73: i may have actually ended up removing pulseaudio.. i can't quite remember now.04:10
GhostConninstall the default alsa driver lol04:10
gdea73TheSimkin: as in... what settings? the only mixer I have is the Gnome Alsa one. How do I mess with PulseAudio itself other than removing it?04:10
GhostConndont bother with pulse its to buggy04:10
TheSimkingdea73: remove pulse audio.. just use also.04:10
sta7icgdea73: i downloaded gnome mixer and it had a lot more settings with the mic04:10
gdea73GhostConn: how do I do that04:10
gdea73?04:10
sta7icgdea73: was able to fix my mic being muted04:10

ljtSBC33: which intercept are you talking about?04:27
ljtQiongRen: re irssi - I had the same problem - you can disable the hotkeys04:28
ljtnow I can just alt+num in irssi04:29
SBC33For example, in World of Warcraft (an MMO game) being run via WINE, some of my player macros need me to hold the Alt key as I activate the macro. Normally, WoW uses a distinctive custom mouse cursor. When I press Alt and hover over my WoW macros, the cursor changes to some whote figure that looks like a hand with 1 finger extended, the same scheme as gnome mouse cursors I've seen. And WoW doesn't "see" the Alt key being pressed.04:29

=== QiongRen is now known as HotCat

CFHowlettmikubuntu   of course it does.07:44
mikubuntuCFHowlett: can't find it07:45
CFHowlettmikubuntu  seems your new desktop environment didn't "catch" your network manager app for you.  You can add it manuall07:45

mikubuntuCFHowlett: thats GREAT, cause i'm NEVER right about anything .. lol07:48
mikubuntuCFHowlett: i notice in lubuntu, that resolution seems eroded07:49

foo376I've got a computer running ubuntu 10.04, I'm trying to do some debugging that requires switching kmods for the graphics card on/off07:53
foo376there's two kernel versions available to boot on startup xxxx.39 and xxx.3807:54
foo376on xxx.39 I've got nvidias kmod running07:54

foo376could I use nouveau on xxx.3807:55
metalmaccan I use flash, and look at all the movie files in ubuntu, and is it posible to burn cds and dvds out of the box?07:56
fidelmetalmac: buring should work out of the box07:57
fidelflash should work as well - while adobe doesnt really love your platform ;)07:57
bananasdoomhow do you shutdown your pc to s507:58
maulwurfflash and all movies - not out of the box. but ubuntu pulls codecs and flash with first internet establishment. and then it works flawless. burning however is absolutely no problem07:58
CFHowlettbananasdoom   sudo init507:58
metalmac@fidel: okej thanks, can I listen to mp3 in ubuntu to, I want to try out ubuntu, but I am afraid I will destroy my windows 7 setup07:58
bananasdoomthanks <CFHowlett07:58
CFHowlettmetalmac   boot live cd = zero risk unless you install ubuntu07:59
CFHowlettmetalmac   better yet, install virtualbox in windows, install ubuntu to virtualbox07:59
fidelmetalmac: then use the live-cd and take a first look07:59
maulwurfmetalmac: the mp3 player in ubuntu will get the codecs for you and then it is no problem07:59

MrBusinessI'm getting a bit tired of the amorphous purple and orange lights behind Ubuntu's greeter. Whereabouts do I need to go in order to change that background image for the greeter?08:01
foo376could I install nouvaeu on xxx.38 without messing things up?08:01
fidelMrBusiness: might depends on the greeter intself. are you using lightdm right now?08:02
fidelso ask yourself - what are you using (i.e. gdm vs lightdm vs kdm etc) - then check how to modify it08:02

Mayazcherquoifidel: e.g. (I think) a lot of Virtual Machines act as middleware, and the guest OS has to try to interface with the software. I want to remove that barrier, and just let Windows use outright its own drivers for my graphics card.08:55
linuxgo to testing my web suite08:55
Mayazcherquoifidel: I've heard from a friend that VirtualBox can do such a thing, but I am not too sure on that. Hence why I came here for confirmation :)08:56
fidelMayazcherquoi: so 2 os'es should access the same hardware at the same time?08:56
Mayazcherquoifidel: Essentially, yes. Although, not a hard drive, of course.08:56
szalMayazcherquoi: virtual machines don't interact directly w/ the hardware by definition08:56
Mayazcherquoiszal: Okay, so guessing my friend was wrong then :P Cheers :)08:56
MayazcherquoiIs it possible, in some way, though?08:57
fideland in special cases - when they do access real hardware - then the other /real os doesnt use that hardware08:57

Mayazcherquoiszal: Am I correct in presuming that there is another way? :s08:57

ikoniait_: samba on ubuntu ?10:58
it_yes10:59
squibbyarand, so far what I've been able to dig up suggests that ubuntu has had a long history of including aptitude in standard, was possibly removed in 11.10 and has ongoing dispute about whether to keep providing it.10:59

it_ikonia:tell me whole procedure11:01
ikoniait_: that's ok - everyone is new at some time11:02
ikoniait_: is this a one time job, or do you plan to move data many times11:02
ikonia(on a regular basis)11:02
it_ikonia    so what should do11:02
ikoniait_: do you need to do this on a regular basis, or just one time11:04
it_ikonia:ok but how to config first time11:05
ikoniait_: do you need to do this one time, or many times ?11:05
it_one time11:06
ikoniait_: ok, then I'd advise you not to setup samba for just one time11:07
ikoniait_: something like ftp maybe quicker and easier for a one time transfer11:07
it_ikonia: so what would i do to share data11:07
it_ikonia: but i don't know ab t them too11:07
arandsquibby: It was included since the ubuntu desktop installer, ubiquity, required it, and when it was re-written to not require it, it was removed, It's still installed if using the alternate install CD or the server, since those uses tasksel for installing.11:07
ikoniait_: do you want to get windows data to the ubuntu machine, or ubuntu data to the windows machine11:08
squibbyarand, understood thanks.11:09
arandsquibby: There was some grumbling whe it was removed, me inluded, but I don't think there's much of an "ongoing debate" about it.11:09
it_ikonia: tell me abt both i think its possibel if we share folder is open in both so could transfer data in both side11:09

ikoniajulia_still_: what server are you connecting to ?11:52
julia_still_ikonia : an ftp server .. ftp.navriti.com11:52
ikoniajulia_still_: I suspect it's your college blocking ftp from being sent11:52
julia_still_ikonia: how to bypass that?11:53
ikoniajulia_still_: my first step would be to contact the wifi admin and ask if ftp to the public internet is allowed11:53
ikoniajulia_still_: you don't bypass it11:53
julia_still_ikonia :  so how should i upload the file?11:53
ikoniajulia_still_: you contact your wifi admin team and ask them if ftp is allowed to the public internet, that is your first step11:54
=== Guest15891 is now known as mrRufix
Pumpkin-beanbipper: you may be interested in X forwarding individual applications rather than running a desktop environment11:54
rileypjulia_still_: dont use teh uni's wifi and use a broadband dongle11:54
beanbipperPumpkin: is that very much more complicated to set up?11:54
rileypjulia_still_:  tether to your iphone perhaps11:55
julia_still_ikonia : its not easy to contact them .. and they dont generally entertain queries from students11:55
ikoniajulia_still_: then you need to find another ISP11:55
ikoniajulia_still_: as rileyp a 3g dongle, an internet cafe etc11:55
ikoniajulia_still_: however, I would try to contact them to confirm if ftp is allowed or not as if it is, your problem will be solved straight away11:55
julia_still_rileyp : the problem is that dongle is giving a very low speed and it will take around 18 hours to upload11:55
dubacoHello how do i wipe a single partition and update grub?11:55
ikoniadubaco: do you play to put something else onto that partition or do you just want it blank ?11:56
julia_still_ikonia : is there no way to check ftp is allowed or not frm my own machine?11:56
rileypjulia_still_: The uni wont change their settings so you can upload a file they have a policy11:56
ikoniajulia_still_: ftp to something on the internet that you know works, if it responds, it's allowed11:56
julia_still_ikonia : for example/11:57
julia_still_?11:57
ikoniajulia_still_: just tested ftp.navriti.com11:57
ikoniajulia_still_: it works - so you are probably being blocked by your wifi provider11:58
DulakTime for a vpn.11:58
julia_still_ikonia : but i can access that from my bowser11:58
LjLikonia, julia_still_: maybe it just needs passive mode?11:58
ikoniajulia_still_: that is http11:58
ikoniaLjL: not for connection refused11:58
rileypjulia_still_:  if its a big file then you really need a hard wire connection to upload from thats the way big files are transfered wifi is a second best11:58
ikoniaLjL: you'd get a time out on transfer if passive mode was neededd11:58
LjLi see11:58
julia_still_LjL : how to set a passive mode?11:58
ikoniaLjL: the initial port 21 connection should still be fine11:58
rexorHow much stable is beta of 12.04 ? Can I use it on desktop environment?11:59
LjLjulia_still_: depends on the client, but apparently that's not the issue anyway11:59
ikoniajulia_still_: you're not getting any connection from the ftp server right ?11:59
ikonia(that's how I understood it)11:59
julia_still_rileyp : my college wifi gives a speed around 1 MB/s .. so thats sufficient if i make it work11:59
DulakYou get a year free on a micro instance if you sign up for AWS.  I use exactly that for a vpn that lets me get around any blocked port.12:00
julia_still_ikonia : no not when i use wifi.. i get this error ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server  ... but i can using my dongle12:00
ikoniajulia_still_: ok, so that's going to be wifi blocking you,12:00
ikoniaLjL: that makes sense, no initial port 21 connect, so passive won't make a difference12:01
julia_still_ikonia : is there no way out?12:01
ikoniajulia_still_: the best way is a.) contact your wifi admin b.) find another source, internet cafe for example to upload12:01
monohedronjulia_still_, ikonia why dont you just do a "telnet ftp.navriti.com 21"to se whether there is a connection12:02
monohedroneven see12:02
ikoniamonohedron: because he's just tested it with ftp12:02
ikoniamonohedron: which is a dumb connection to port 2112:02
ikoniamonohedron: I know the server is running as I can connect to it12:02
monohedronikonia, sorry your highness12:02
ikoniamonohedron: no need for that, I'm just explaining why I'm not telling him to telnet12:03
gemii use Backtrack, i am on right channel.. because i guess bt5r1 and ubuntu is probally from 1 unti12:03
ikoniagemi: no12:03
ikoniagemi: use #backtrack-linux for backtrack support12:03
gemi:(12:03
gemiok than12:03
monohedronikonia, 21 is ftp12:03
ikoniamonohedron: yes, I know12:04
julia_still_ikonia: ok there is another way.. i can compress the file in zip format and then upload the file ... i takes less time .. is it possible that i extract the zip file on that server ?12:04
monohedronand it gives you a very verbose output that will tell you exactly, withour any guessing, what the score is12:04
ikoniamonohedron: I'm not guessing12:04
ikoniamonohedron: I've connected to the server, so I know ftp is running12:04
monohedronno playing around till you get to some point12:04
ikoniait's a pure-ftpd server, running private seperation with TLS enabled12:04
monohedronwe know that you can connect but not julia12:05
ikoniamonohedron: yes, because it's being blocked12:05
monohedronwhich would have been apparent in a bout 5 seconds with "telnet ftp.navriti.com 21"12:05
ikoniamonohedron: it was apparant in 5 seconds after ftp12:05
monohedronwithout chasing any other dubious ways12:05
ikoniathat's why I said straight away "it's blocked"12:06
monohedronyes my oracle12:06
monohedronlike said apologies12:06
julia_still_ikonia ?12:06
ikoniajulia_still_: you can try to compress the file sure12:06
ikoniajulia_still_: depends what data is in the file as to how well it will compress12:06
julia_still_i downoaded the zip file from net.. its a cms12:07
julia_still_ikonia12:07
ikoniajulia_still_: if it's a zip, it's already compressed12:07
* dr_willis wonders what a 'cms' is12:08
julia_still_ikonia : yes .. so what i am asking is ... is there any way to decompress it ,once i upload it to the server ?12:09
ikoniacontent managment system12:09

dr_willisguess the 2 could be using differnt network manager tools/defaults12:21
scenadr_w: quite possible.12:21
dr_willisor could be some quirk with  the vm nic settings.12:21

dr_willisi know vbox can emulate like 4 differnt types of nics.12:22

=== Guest26042 is now known as dweez
matheusthe User "read" must be the same group or with more permissions than the creator of the folder13:46
ljtrams_pandu: somewhat unlikely to recover the partition, but you stand a decent chance at recovering some if not most of the data13:46
cryptotheslowmatheus, what ftp server? proftpd, pureftpd etc.? You may find the users need to be in an "ftp" group as defined by your ftp server config.13:46

rams_panduSidewinder1, yeah, i am currently downloading that13:51

matheusxinetd  19396 root    5u  IPv6 12211985       TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)13:58

matheusis empty14:00
matheusit require xinetd.d folder14:01
llutz_matheus: who administrates that server? ask him what/how he installed/runs14:01
cryptotheslowmatheus, if the files are correctly permissioned world readable yet users cannot read them then logically it is the ftp server configuration stopping them. So as llutz_ suggests speak with the sysadmin and ask if those users need adding to a particular group or something.14:04

Caifas1Hello guys, is there a way to remove write access usb devices? I need my usbs to work but I cant have ppl removing data from my pcs, so I need to remove their access to this16:02
jribCaifas1: yes (though how to do it has changed and I have no idea what the right way to do it now is).  Look into: udev rules, policykit, and try to figure out if there's some new daemon on the block mounting them...16:03
jribCaifas1: I'm assuming your usbs are formatted as vfat or ntfs by the way.  If that's not the case, please let me know16:03
fernando_I dont' like the ubuntu 11.10 gui16:03
jrib!nounity | fernando_16:03
ubottufernando_: 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 !classic16:03
jribfernando_: use a different one :)16:04
fernando_I don't think is too user friendly16:04
schnuffleWormDrink: Okay, the files get installed with the same permissions they have after compiling. You can change thjat in the rules file with dh_fixperms16:04
Caifas1jrib: well, I have to think my user have any kind of formated pen drivers, I can't let them remove info from the company :P16:05
jribCaifas1: ah I see.  I thought you were making some usb storage available and didn't want them modified16:05
hazamonzoHey folks Is there a quick way of videobin... ing a recording rom my desktop?16:06
schnuffleWormDrink: dh_fixperms is part of debhelper. It will adjust permissions and owner but automatically: http://man.he.net/man1/dh_fixperms16:06
hazamonzoinstead of using youtube and all that16:06
jribCaifas1: I think what you ask is hard...16:06
Caifas1jrib: Well... only remove usb device for storage is good also, I just need usb to use mouse/keyboard and that should do for now hehe16:07
WormDrinkschnuffle, thanks16:07
llutz_Caifas1: just remove users from plugdev-group to deny USB access completly16:07
schnuffleWormDrink:  your welcome16:07
Caifas1llutz_: they will still be able to use usb mouse/keyboard16:08
Caifas1?16:08
llutz_Caifas1: iirc yes (not sure)16:08
jribCaifas1: okay, I think you can still just mount with "ro" option.  But you need to find where.  My guess and initial try would be udev rule16:08
Caifas1jjrib: I'll take a look, ty16:09
Caifas1llutz_: I'll take a look on your options also, thx :D16:10

StravHi. I'm trying to compile and install a patched vanilla kernel (2.6.36.2 + grsecurity) with module support disabled (hence everything is part of a "monolithic" kernel). The host system is ubuntu 10.04, is there anything I should know to make this work? I succeeded installing it with the stack config, some basic options and modules enabled, but if I try to disable the modules, it seems I get a kernel panic. Any howto I could refer for17:42
Stravinstalling a kernel with no modules?17:42
dr_willisI belive nvidia-xconfig used to be a name of the NON-X/Non-GUI config tool.. while nvidia-settings IS the GUI/X app..17:42
dr_willisStrav:  dare we ask why you are not using modules?17:43
dr_willis!kernel17:43
ubottuThe core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages)17:43
Stravdr_willis: I don't the details, but I've read it's a good security practice to limit/void the possiblity to load a modified kernel module.17:44

Lucho35 may someone tell me how may I change the servers from the command line? 17:46
dr_willisStrav:  i seem recall there being reasons for perfering modules. like module options at load time, and reduceing the kernel size..  but ive not had to mess with the kernel in ages.. I think your good practice..may be leaning towards the paranoid. :)17:46
auronandaceStrav: do you expect a modified kernel module to be loaded without your knowledge?17:46

gandhijee_ohhh17:49
Stravauronandace: as I said, I'm not fully aware of the details of this security issue, but can't someone who have root privilege can replace a kernel module with a modified one and instore some quite hard to trace security concern in your system?17:49

auronandaceStrav: disabling all kernel modules sounds overkill to me17:59
blezI'm running ubuntu 10.10 in vmware17:59
Stravauronandace: the thing is, I have to setup a small cluster that requires near 100% uptime. If I read the "securing debian" manual and they say: a good way to ensure that no low level code is run without your knowledge is to use a kernel compiled without module support, I guess it's not a bad thing to want to try it out.17:59
blezI can't run my desktop composition17:59
auronandaceStrav: for a server wouldn't that mean that any change you make to your kernel you would have to suffer downtime to recompile?18:00
blezanyone know how to enable it?18:00
Stravauronandace: well the thing is, aside from disabling module support in the kernel options, I haven't seen a way to only enable the loading of a certain set of modules except perhaps by explicitly blacklisting the rest of them.18:00
dlentzblez, you mean compositing?18:01
schnuffleStrav: for apache there s mod_security and selinux or apparmor can help a lot as well. It wont fix the existing bugs but restricts what can be done18:01
rhizmoeit would be cool if update manager let you uninstall things from its interface. "uninstall this thing i never use but needs an update"18:01
blezdlentz yes18:01
dlentzrhizmoe, that's what synaptic is for (and why i don't use update-mangler)18:02
DatzHi, ever since the last kernel update, my video driver I use isn't working. I'm on 10.04, and I can only get video if I boot to low graphics mode. The kernel that I'm on is 2.6.32-40, but the previous kernels don't work now to correct the problem.18:02
oxidizerjjf18:02
auronandaceStrav: from a security standpoint, yes disabling module support would prevent that from being an attack vector, but any updates to your kernel will force downtime on you18:02
mobiusstripperhi all, i have a machine with an onboard intel card and an nvidia card for cuda development. I would like to use the onboard card for display, but X would not start GLX extension with the nvidia card plugged in so...no compositing effects.18:02
dlentzblez, i think you need ubuntu 12.04 and recent vmware to get 3d18:02
mobiusstripperis it possible to tell X to just use the intel card?18:02

auronandaceStrav: i guess you just have to weigh up the likelyhood of it being exploited with the negative effects of downtime18:03
Stravauronandace: yes I considered this, and actually I don't exactly know what's the best way to deal with this: are there many kernel security updates?18:03

dlentzrhizmoe, yes, synaptic does upgrades18:04

kaspirsomebody plz help with file sharing. I've tried samba and ssh and neither has made a difference. Just keep getting the same errors18:30
schnuffleDiaz:  Okay apache2 can server php with the php module or with fastcgi. To use the apache2 php module you need to install libapache2-mod-php518:32

Guest64964had applescript ported on Linux platform?18:33
escottnadiyama, why not just ask windows to create the partition?18:34
nadiyamaescott: It can?18:34
Diazschnuffle: Done18:35
schnuffleDiaz:  And? what do you see?18:35
escottnadiyama, ?? not sure how to answer that. of course windows can create ntfs partitions. if it couldn't that would be very very strange18:35
Diazschnuffle: When I go to the file thingie?18:35
Diazschnuffle: Prompts me to download it18:36
schnuffleDiaz: Yes http://localhost/info.php. Be sure to restart the server after having installed the module18:36
Diazschnuffle: ah..:P18:36
nadiyamaescott: I mean, I didn't know Windows has partition tools.18:36
TheSimkinyou guys are so helpful18:37
TheSimkinnadiyama: what partition tools does windows have??18:37
caB00TI went Synaptic Package Manager -> Typed in "gnome-device-manager" And then got gpe-appmanager, I mark it for install, it gives me the menu with some things and a "mark" button, I click on it, and get: "gpe-appmanager: Depends: gpe-confg but it won't be installed. Any ideas?18:37
TheSimkinall i've seen is the disk manager18:37
Diazschnuffle: I see loads of info about PHP18:37
TheSimkinand it sucks18:37
Diazschnuffle: System info, etc etc etc18:37
escottnadiyama, ok your problem is the partitioning not the creation of the fs. windows does have partitioning tools, but for now just create an empty partition (don't specify an fs) and then you can make the ntfs filesystem on it in windows18:37
schnuffleDiaz: That means php works, now try your wiki install18:37
Diazschnuffle: AAAND it works.. Thanks a lot!18:38
nadiyamaYep I did it with gparted, but when I wanted to create a new one, there was no option for ntfs.18:38
Diazschnuffle: Thank you so so much!18:38
CellTechBlackberry Bold will no longer 'mount' for mass storage18:38
schnuffleDiaz: your welcome. Just some more tips. I its a public facing server, better use fastcgi, suexec and shuhosin18:39
Diazschnuffle: You lost me again :)18:39
schnuffleDiaz: :) Is your server accessible on the internet?18:40
Diazschnuffle: Yeah, but it dosent recive a huge ammount of traffic18:40
schnuffleDiaz: Its less about traffic more about security. The php module runs under the same user then the apache server. Fastcgi can seperate the web server process and the php process and suexec and shuhosin are security enhancements18:41

escottfernando_, also look at pitivi18:44

schnuffleel_ruso: check if usbmount is installed18:55
FishmeistercodPretty much, I followed all the instructions on the website, used the USB Manager to put the Ubuntu setup on my flash, and tried booting from it. I waited, and waited, half an hour later, still just a black screen. I re-installed to try again, but same result. D:18:56
schnuffleFishmeistercod: which tool did you use?18:57
Fyodorovna!nomodeset | Fishmeistercod18:57
ubottuFishmeistercod: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter18:57

FishmeistercodOkay, so I took a look at the page, but there's a small problem. I don't even get to the Ubuntu splash screen. As soon as I tell it to boot from USB, it derps to the black screen. :|18:59
FyodorovnaFishmeistercod, did you look at the nomodeset link?19:00
FishmeistercodOr did I miss something important on the page? ^^:;19:00

schnufflecaB00T: what has the device manager to do for you?19:04
dlentzgnome-device-manager just gave system info, terminal commands (lshw, lscpi, dmidecode, etc. are better for this)19:04

savidWhat is required for a user to be able to chown/chgrp a file or directory?  Does the user always have to be root to chown/chgrp?19:07
caB00TIt was suppose to act like the Device Manager from Windows.19:07

=== max is now known as Guest36669
genii-aroundsavid: Yes19:09
caB00T:)19:09
escottsavid, the concern is "chown to root" attacks so if it would be chowning to something you don't control that will be disallowed19:09
caB00TOne more thing, I installed the Gnome package cuz I prefer it over the new one in 11.10, but it does not load by default, so far I've been logging out and changing, how do I make it default?19:10
schnufflecaB00T: especially because the whole driver story is different from windows. UNder windows every hardware has a cd with drivers. in linux the drivers come with the distribution19:10
caB00TMhm, alright.19:10

helmckenHello! Am attempting to do dual install of Ubuntu version 10.04-desk-amd64-LTS and Win 7 to my new FragBox home computer. Unit already has Win 7-64bit installed and running smoothly. Have full back-up USB memory stick with all original software and configs. Have successfully downloaded Ubuntu .iso and burned to disc. Have checked download with md5 hash sums. Verified burn afterwards. Have used disc in machine and will read disc correct20:14
helmckenly. Will reboot and have selected check/verify disc integrity from Ubuntu menu and reported disc is okay. However, whether I select "Try first with no changes" or go straight to full install, it always does the "Try first" anyways and builds the Ubuntu desktop. To be clear, I successfully arrive at a proper Ubuntu desktop, but only in the temporary, trial mode. When I select Install, Ubuntu goes sudo and asks for administrator password20:14
helmcken! I've never set a password and do not know what to do! Sometimes, an error message from Ubuntu reads: Failed to run /usr/bin/ubiquity 'gtk_ul' as user root.(with more text ending in Contact the system administrator.) Well, that IS me! The only thing possible is to remove disk from machine and reboot. Machine rebuilds smoothly in Win 7 with no ill effects. What to do, please?20:14
ubottuhelmcken: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)20:14

ThatGuy85escott: I am running Ubuntu 11.1020:33
StravHi. From a discussion I had here, I'm pondering the options I have to setup a secure basis on a server that would require near constant uptime. My initial plan, was to use a custom static kernel patched with grsecurity, pax and v-servers (for running each service in it's own virtual env). So far so good, but when it comes to 0-day exploits, this means each time I'll have to get the patch, struggle to apply it on my not very up-to-date20:33
Stravkernel (since the v-server + grsec do not apply to every kernel version), compile and install the image on the server. So it makes me wonder: 1. is there a ppa that's concerned with keeping kernel images patched for the latest vulnerabilities and that includes: a minimal set of modules and of course, grsec + pax + v-servers enabled? 2. if not, what you guys think is the most secure option?20:33
escottThatGuy85, I never asked you that? Why do you keep telling me that? What kind of filesystem is this?20:33
DinoMuffinHey, anyone know of a way to get xrandr to use dual monitors with different resolutions? I can only do a mirrored setup currently.20:34
caB00TI know what it does, but can anyone tell me what GKSU stands for?20:34
ThatGuy85escott: Sorry, heheheh. ext420:34
hcuongvnquit20:35
escottStrav, if you want security you disable modules. talking about a "minimal set of modules" is rather stupid20:35
escottThatGuy85, ok are the files sparse? (having gaps in the middle which are all zeros) are you using some kind of overlay filesystem -- such as encrypted $HOME?20:35
ThatGuy85escott: +20:36
Stravescott: you are right, this is why I spoke about a static kernel (modules disabled) as my initial plan. When I said minimal set of modules, what I really meant is a minimal set of features (compiled in the kernel, not as modules).20:36
ThatGuy85escott: How would I tell? I am a still a bit new to this20:36
Gaflana16Hi all!20:36

Gaflana16Who here?20:37
guntbertGaflana16: 1600+ people :-))  Do you have an ubuntu support question?20:38
escottStrav, there won't be a ppa of static kernels specific to your hardware, but you could start with vanilla and just keep your .config around20:38

ThatGuy85escott: .... to be honest, I don't remember. It is possible20:38

escottThatGuy85, that would seem to eliminate the possibility of an encrypted overlay which leaves hard links or sparse files as an explanation20:45

AserercoffHi! Apparently I have a big problem, but I don't know how to solve it. There is not enough information on Internet. I have a 2 teras hard disk. I want to install W7 and Ubuntu 11.10 on it. The problem is that it is GPT.21:01
AserercoffI have just installed W7, but Ubuntu does not recognize it.21:01
_RED_and raynerd don't touch the ubuntu parition since its 5 paritions made into one via use of logical partition21:02
ljtcaliboy: pastebin the outputs of lspci, lsusb, lsmod, sudo lshw, dmesg | tail -30021:02
AserercoffI open Gparted and it says that the disk is clean.21:02
escottAserercoff, W7 will not boot bios+gpt only efi+gpt21:02
caliboyljt: Im sorry i dont know what you mean by that21:02
Aserercoffescott, so... what must I do?21:02
rogst_RED_: There is a special windows tool to modify the boot loader21:02
_RED_and _alex_ I tried instlaling ubuntu once wubi crashed half way rebooted installed again worked rebooted had 2 entried and neither worked, uninstalled but still got one entry21:02
raynerd_RED: what do you mean, I can`t split the ext4 linux partician to make way for windows?21:03
ThatGuy85escott: http://imagebin.org/204889 here is a highlighted version21:03
escottAserercoff, well is this a bios system?21:03
_RED_and what is it rogst?21:03
rogst_RED_: BCDEDIT21:03
escottThatGuy85, you are not being helpful. please run the commands I sent you21:03
Aserercoffescott, mmm, yes, I have a bios if it is what do you mean.21:03
mirko1raynerd: is what _RED_ said true? if yes, I cannot help, otherwise  you have to use gparted to split the partition. *carefully* note that, while gparted is pretty save today, there is still a risk, better make backups21:03
__Alex_Aserercoff: Go to fdisk in terminal, and make a classic MBR disk label. I can't believe linux folks haven't implimented GPT support.21:03
ljtcaliboy: ok one step at a time, you can upload text to http://paste.ubuntu.com/21:03
_RED_raynerd Ubuntu has 2-3 ext4 paritions for stuff 1 swap and 1 other i think and there all mad into one logical one21:03
_RED_made*21:03
ljtcaliboy: i need you to run some commands and pastebin them21:03
caliboyljt: ok21:04
ljtthe output will help me see whats going on21:04
escottAserercoff, if you have a bios system and managed to boot windows then you must be using mbr not gpt partitions. its possible you have an out of sync hybrid and you should use gdisk to fix it up21:04
caliboywhere do i run them? At the website21:04
zykotic10__Alex_: gnu/linux via parted does support non-MBR, fdisk = only MBR21:04
Aserercoff__Alex_, can you tell me how to make a «classic MBR disk label», please? I mean, what must I write on the console?21:04
ljtcaliboy: press ctrl-alt-t21:04
_RED_and thanks rogst21:04
__Alex_Aserercoff: sudo fdisk /dev/sdX; in there, press the o key21:05
escott__Alex_, saying linux hasn't implemented GPT is absolutely and totally false. linux was one of the first systems to support gpt21:05
caliboyok im in the terminal21:05
caliboyljt: Ok im in the terminal21:05
cpinheiroThere's a way to use 2 monitors on ubuntu 11.10 with some kind of fast switch between them? I have to go to nvidia settings everytime i want to change21:05
mirko1_RED_: your terms are a little confusing. they aren't made into logical partitions, they are just "combined" into one directory tree (so to say).21:05
Aserercoffescott, when I try to install W7, and I have previously make some partitions on live cd with gparted, it tell me that it can't be intalled in a GPT drive, so I must erase all to install it.21:05
raynerd_Red_  & Mikro1:  I`m not really into this so please take it easy on me. I`m looking at gparted now and I see 4 partitions: unallocated-1MiB, ext4 on dev/sda1   - 183GB, extended dev/sda1  2.2Gig and linux swap dev/sda5.21:05
gandhijee_kk21:05
raynerdSo I can`t split the big ext4?21:05
ljtcaliboy: i'll type out a command then you just paste it in to that terminal ok - just a sec21:06
caliboyljt: ok21:06
_RED_mirko1 they're 5 5 logical paritions21:06
_RED_so you cant really edit them21:06
Aserercoff__Alex_, I have tried « sudo fdisk /dev/sdX» from sd0 to sd5. Allways it tell me that that partition does not exist.21:07
escottAserercoff, right. if you must have gpt then you have to go to a hybrid layout, but 2TiB should fit withing bios so that might be easier21:07
Aserercoffescott, I am all ears.21:07
zykotic10Aserercoff: there are no such drive sd0 -> sd5, the first drive would be sda, with partition numbers following21:07
raynerd_Red_: so am I screwed then?21:07
mirko1_RED_: he could shrink the 183GB partition with gparted.21:07
ThatGuy85escott:  I ras the bash script21:07
cpinheiroThere's a way to use 2 monitors on ubuntu 11.10 with some kind of fast switch between them? I have to go to nvidia settings everytime i want to change21:07
ThatGuy85escott: *ran21:08
escottThatGuy85, and what did it say?21:08
escottAserercoff, hybrids are fragile annoying things to work with. its much easier to just use mbr21:08
ThatGuy85escott: -rw-rw-r-- 1 "username" "username" 10240 2012-03-23 16:07 test.random21:08
ThatGuy8510240test.random21:08
_RED_<raynerd> <mirko1>  I have tried before and it fucked up badly so I recomend he backs up all his data and what not installs windows and formate every thing then IN WINDOWS shrink the windows parition21:09
escottThatGuy85, ok so those files are exactly the size that would be expected21:09
Aserercoffzykotic10, ups, sorry, it is true. sda1 exist. I have pressed o. Ok, what do you want to know from this information?21:09
Aserercoffescott, mbr? Ok. How?21:09
caliboyljt: you almost ready?21:09
raynerdhumm, OK21:09
raynerdfair enough, so the advice is basically to install windows with a fresh format and then put linux back on?21:09
zykotic10Aserercoff: that you have 1 drive with 1 partition...21:10
_RED_raynerd yes because of how Ubuntu does its paritions Mint its a bit easier21:10
escottThatGuy85, it might just be a permissions issue if you have lots of large files that you cannot access. the filesystem should notice that the space is not available, but it might not appear to the disk utility. you could try running the disk utility as root21:10
escottAserercoff, at this point what do you have installed/what do you need to preserve?21:10
Aserercoffzykotic10, yes, that is correct.21:11
Aserercoffescott, I don't need to preserver anything. I have W7 and Ubuntu 11.10 on DVDs. This is a new HD.21:11
AserercoffI don't know if this will help, but the hard disk is: Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATA3 64MB21:12
escottAserercoff, in that case boot the livecd and "sudo apt-get install gdisk" run gdisk and delete the gpt partiton just to be sure its gone, install windows and let it create an mbr partition then install ubuntu21:12
ratcheerAserercoff: Nice drive!21:12
escottAserercoff, also thats a 4k drive so make sure your partitions are 4k aligned21:12

escott!gksudo | ThatGuy8521:15
ubottuThatGuy85: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)21:15
Aserercoffescott, just a questions, when I erase GPT, will I be able to talk here? Or the PC will reboot automaticly?21:16
ThatGuy85escott: Disk Usage Analyzer shows the exact same values as before21:16
escottAserercoff, it should not affect the livecd at all21:16
ThatGuy85escott: Duely noted, I will be more cautious in the future21:16
escottThatGuy85, so where is baobob saying all this space is being used21:17
Aserercoffescott, ok, I am on «sudo gdisk». It ask me for «device filename». How I know the name of my hard disk?21:17
escottAserercoff, probably sda but you can use the disk utilty to identify the device file /dev/sdX21:17
ThatGuy85escott:  baobob is, as far as I can tell, showing numbers that are close to what they should be.21:18
ThatGuy85escott: 88% of the files are in Home21:19
Aserercoffescott, I typed «/dev/sda». It tell: MBR: MBR only21:20
Aserercoff  BSD: not present21:20
Aserercoff  APM: not present21:20
Aserercoff  GPT: present21:20
Jon--I have a command like this: cat file | grep -f stringhere. each string is of the form: xxx14 or xxx214 (for example). I don't want grep to match xxx141 when it sees xxx14 in the list. What is the easiest way to do this?21:20
escottThatGuy85, its probably just some special files like /proc/kcore confusing nautilus21:20
Aserercoffescott, you were right, It is a hybrid!21:20
Aserercoffescott, ok, I must choose. Should I use option 1?: Found valid MBR and GPT. Which do you want to use?21:21
Aserercoff 1 - MBR21:21
Aserercoff 2 - GPT21:21
Aserercoff 3 - Create blank GPT21:21
FloodBot1Aserercoff: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.21:21
ratcheerAserercoff: Hybrid BIOS?21:21
escottAserercoff, cause they shipped it as a hybrid but windows installed mbr and was too stupid to clear out the gpt. why do things correctly when you can just puke over everyones disks and leave them to a screwed up system in the future21:21
escottAserercoff, rather they shipped as a gpt and then windows added the mbr21:22
escottAserercoff, in any case your best option is probably MBR21:22
Aserercoffescott, that is why I don't like to use W7, but you know, videogames... Ok, I will chose 121:23
ThatGuy85escott: for example DUA and the Folder properties, of the same folder: DUA shows the folder to be the exact same size as Folder Properties "Total Size of Files"21:23
ljtcaliboy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/897002/21:23

Aserercoffescott, I typed 1, but it don't seems to do anything. It only show: «Command (? for help):» Should I use «X 1»?21:25
escottAserercoff, there are some advanced options which should allow you to delete the gpt information21:26

escottAserercoff, you don't want to create a new GPT you want to delete the one that is already there. i think you can find that option in the advanced menu21:38

mirko1anybody knows about the Asus USB-N10  WLAN dongle on 10.04 64bit? It's a  Realtek 8192SU chip. i've found hints that say neither the realtek nor the dkms driver work on 64bit.21:42
Aserercoffescott, Yeah! I think that we want this «zap (destroy) GPT data structures and exit», aren't we?21:42
escottAserercoff, yes21:42
caliboyljt: Ok so do you know how to fix it?21:42
Aserercoffescott, ok, it says «GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or other utilities.»21:43
escottAserercoff, you might be unable to access a small amount of disk space at the end of the disk because of using mbr, but its much better than having a screwed up hybrid (which can totally hose your system)21:43
Aserercoffescott, It is 2 teras, I can stand up to 100 megas of disk space.21:44
Aserercoffescott, under that it says: «Blank out MBR? (Y/N):». I'll chose N. Am I correct?21:44
Cajun_Lan_ManIs anyone here involved with the OMGUbuntu site?21:45
escottAserercoff, doesn't really matter, just install windows as usual telling it to use the entire disk, and it will create a new mbr table, and then you can use the livecd to resize the ntfs down and install ubuntu21:46
Aserercoffescott, ok. So this conversation should end because I need to reboot and use W7's DVD. Thanks for your time and help.21:47
ThatGuy85escott: Thank you. With your help I figured out my issue. Thank you very very much. Lubuntu uses PCManFM 0.9.9 by default (which is where the confusion stems). Checking the files again in Nautilus, everything is as it should be. Thanks again for your time, patience and wisdom.21:47
GhostConnfor some reason I started my computer today after updates lastnght and in my grub boot loader I now have a option called   " previous versions"  I only have ubuntu,mint 12 & win7 on tripple boot21:47
GhostConnhow could another version just appear ???21:48
ThatGuy85escott: FWIW: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1008193#p1008193 details an exact copy of my issue21:48
ThatGuy85escott: Thanks again for everything21:48
mirko1GhostConn:  updated kernel?21:48
Aserercoffescott, hey, wait! I chose N and it says «MBR is unchanged. You may need to delete an EFI GPT (0xEE) partition with fdisk or another tool.» Does that mean that GPT still there?21:48
GhostConnso you mean because i updated it updated the kernel so i now have two versions of ubuntu lol?21:49
escottAserercoff, no. this is some complicated technical stuff that doesn't really matter because your intention is to blow away all the partitions anyways. there is a special parititon type to be used only in hybrids and that is still listed in your mbr, but there are no gpt structures anymore they have been zeroed out21:50
sambagirlevening. i just installed 11.04 i believe and i can't seem to locate anything. i just installed chrome and downloaded something and i have no idea where chrome is or where i downloaded the app. is there an option to change the view to one more familiar for me?21:50
GhostConnwhy would it make two versions ? would that not take up allot more space on my hdd?21:50
escottAserercoff, if windows were very poorly written this could cause the installer to crash, but it shouldn't matter21:50
sambagirloh i figured it out it has a dash home21:51
Aserercoffescott, ok, I would come back then. Thanks, again, for your services.21:51
dlentzGhostConn, previous versions = previous kernels21:51
escottThatGuy85, ahhh so lightweight = additional bugs then21:51
dlentzyou can remove old kernels after you boot into the new one21:51
mirko1GhostConn: no, i mean that you might have now two kernels and it shows two entries for each kernel. that wouldn't make two ubuntu versions.  are there multiple vmlinuz file /boot?21:51

human1101on load of ubuntu 11.10 in vmware workstation 8 it says error 13, invalid or unsupported executable format22:04
human1101press any key to continue...22:04
escottsynesp, gnutls, nss or openssl :) it shouldn't really matter and you probably have all three installed anyways22:04
drumbluesynesp: that depends what you're trying to do :) what are you needing it for?22:04
synespI'm building a PHP extension that requires curl.h22:04
human1101then when i do that it gives me a choice of kernal, the newest kernal goes back to that screen\22:04
synespso I went to go install the dev packages for curl and theres 322:04
human1101the other one seems to load then hangs on usb hub22:05
escotthuman1101, likely a setup error in the vmware virtualized hardware. check that the virtual hardware matches the installed os22:05
human1101any idea how i can check that?22:05
GhostConnwhy use vmware lol i really dont understand why not just dual boot without with headache and frustration of the buggy software22:06
synespdrumblue: I'm building a PHP extension that requires curl.h, so I went to go install the dev packages for curl and theres 322:06
synespand whoever said install all 3, you can't they conflict eachother22:06
drumbluesynesp: then I'm guessing your program is using SSL of some kind, as those three packages are all related? I'd install all three, if I were you. They are all useful22:06

synesphm, im getting conflict errors22:06
synespwtf22:06
synesphaha22:06
GhostConnlol22:06
escottsynesp, you can only link to one of them. it shouldn't matter which22:06
escottsynesp, there is the outside chance you encounter some buggy server which has some odd config and refuses to talk with the other in which case you change your electino22:07
* drumblue skulks away and admits while trying to be useful, he was being dumb too... ;-)22:07
human1101because i use adobe packages to for designing and require the use of the ubuntu operating system for the dev, until now i have had no problems with vmware and have been using it for about 2 years22:07
synespThe following packages have unmet dependencies: libcurl4-gnutls-dev : Conflicts: libcurl-dev  libcurl nss-dev : Conflicts: libcurl-dev  libcurl4-openssl-dev : Conflicts: libcurl-dev22:07
