[00:00] @twig11: boot a livecd and repair the disk that way [00:00] If I delete the "/" partion, will things be bad? === adriano is now known as Guest96427 [00:00] Am I able to just have the "/home" partion? [00:00] cuddylier: VERY bad [00:00] cudddylier: Well what you like and what you get are two different things. I was once like you myself but I soon learned it wan't worth it. Having to run other resource hogs as well such as VNC and what not just to get the GUI [00:00] jimi_c: I'm booted from a liveusb right now. What's the best tool to do the repair? [00:00] How can I get ubuntu to use the /home one then? [00:00] As it installs on the "/" one [00:00] what is amiss if gparted doesnt provide me with a 'mount' option for a displayed partition? [00:00] And only gives me 10gb [00:01] The "/home" one has 1.7tb on it [00:01] I want to use that space [00:01] cuddylier: is this a vps? [00:01] A dedicated server [00:01] What do I do? :( [00:01] I've spent all day trying to figure out what to do, as all the 10gb is used p [00:02] I need far more than 10gb [00:02] Well you'll need to get your provider to reinstall Ubuntu and tell them how you want it. [00:02] I'll see what I can do, I have a control panel [00:02] @twig11: fsck. [00:02] so fsck.ext3 for an ext3 partition [00:03] Do I keep the "/" directory but install it on the "/home" one? [00:03] "/" partition I mean [00:03] cuddylier: what are you using this server for? The best distro for servers is CentoOS [00:03] I have a finger print scanner in my laptop. can i get ubuntu to work with it? [00:03] I am hosting a bukkit server [00:04] Well, I want to use it to do that [00:04] cuddylier: This method has risks, but you can use gparted, or other partitionmanager to shrink the partition with your /home dir and then enlarge the on with / mounted on it. [00:04] Minecraft. [00:04] Would centos be better for bukkit servers? [00:04] Minecraft [00:04] Yes CentOS is best. In my view. [00:04] Oscailt, minecraft is the best! [00:04] @cuddylier: do you have anything on this server yet? probably easiest just to blow it away and reinstall from scratch [00:04] Nah, nothing [00:05] 1 hour and you're done, no screwing around [00:05] how do I install 11.10 on a USB? [00:05] !best | Oscailt CentOS whatever... [00:05] Oscailt CentOS whatever...: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:06] I have a finger print scanner in my laptop. can i get ubuntu to work with it? [00:06] what is amiss if gparted doesnt provide me with a 'mount' option for a displayed partition? Documentation just says that if the option isnt shown, then gparted doesnt know where to mount the partition. WTH?!! Why cant it just ask me where I want it mounted ten ... bloody convoluted stuff this [00:06] ubottu: I did say my view, not that it is. [00:06] Oscailt: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:07] @SilfenX: add a line to /etc/fstab and gparted will know where to mount it :) [00:07] Love getting told off by a bot. [00:08] Hey [00:08] Is there a way to install Ubuntu server after having installed the desktop version? [00:09] @Kman: yes, uninstall packages :) [00:09] oh yeah, ive seen long technical guides about that [00:09] do that and change your default init level to 3 instead of 5 [00:09] I just dont understand why the usb stick wont boot [00:10] old motherboard bios maybe? or maybe a bios option? [00:10] no, i just installed the desktop from a usb stick lol [00:10] Audio in skype isn't working (remote pulseaudio server). Does anyone have any clue why that might be? [00:10] It works fine for everything else [00:10] Kman, does the power on gui say press ? for boot menu? [00:11] are there any applications (not the bloody terminal) around to allow me to mount partitions/drives without having to resort to mucking around in fstab with nano ... [00:11] When I enable crossfire in ubuntu (It's actually AMD's "Dual Graphics"), ubuntu freezes on the load screen after restart. Any ideas on how to get this working? [00:11] Silfex: GParted [00:11] ahem, see above [00:11] would anyone here know why the sudo dd command is not found when i try to install ubuntu on a usb stick for my macbook? i am using terminal from an external drive running the install disk. would it be because i'm not using os x that that command does not exist? [00:11] SilfenX: nautilus can do it too [00:12] infest: unetbootin is available for mac and can put the ISO on USB storages [00:12] haux: I don't think anyone here has your answer. Have you tried an internet search? [00:13] Oscailt, that's typically what I do first. [00:13] ActionParsnip: where in nautilus can I locate the drives/partitions if they arent mounted? [00:13] SilfenX: there are GUI front ends for fusermount, forgot how they are called, will you find them or should I search? [00:13] haux: I've seen you ask it a couple of times and not get a reply so I was just trying to offer some advice. [00:13] mirko1: thanks, I ll see if I can find that one [00:14] !ircd [00:14] Oscailt, I understand. I'll try giving AMD support a call, although I'm unsure that they offer support for Linux. [00:15] SilfenX: in the left panel [00:15] haux: AMD are normally very helpful. [00:16] haux: hybrid GPU is problematic in Linux [00:16] ActionParsnip: my left pane in Nautilus contain only 'root', 'Desktop', 'File System', 'Network' and 'Trash' [00:16] haux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [00:16] Hey guys im in need of some help. im trying to set up a basic basic irc server. Ive been messing around with ircd-hybrid but i cant get it to allow connections from out side the network would anyone be able to assist, ive goggld but it seems all the results on setting up a irc server is just for internal [00:16] Thank you [00:16] SilfenX: do you see the partitions in the output of: sudo fdisk -l [00:17] SilfenX: maybe try mountmanager gui [00:17] ActionParsnip: yes, I do [00:18] I have a finger print scanner in my laptop. can i get ubuntu to work with it? [00:18] Is there any benefit to using fglrx over the opensource drivers? [00:18] Rocky: so it does work when seen from your local network? [00:18] SilfenX: if they are internal I'd add them to fstab personally, not sure otherwise [00:18] yes [00:19] Rocky: did you setup port forwarding on your adsl router? [00:19] sacarlson yes i have the ports forwarded [00:19] Rocky: and what port numbers might that be? [00:20] sacarlson 6666-6667 [00:20] Rocky: ok sounds good and how about dns then? [00:21] sacarlson i use a zapto.org [00:21] I have a finger print scanner in my laptop. can i get ubuntu to work with it? [00:21] jimi_c: okay, I've never used fsck before but I ran sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda5 and it's doing it's thing. It asked for permission to fix it and after I hit y it said "Group descriptor 0 checksum is invalid. FIXED." (same line repeated all the way to 1064) [00:21] Rocky: ok so lets take a look then what's the address [00:21] Now it's saying "Free blocks count wrong for group #1 (31743, counted=10329). [00:21] Fix? Should I be hitting yes for this? [00:21] sacarlson from no-ip. i have a full working LAMP + FTP + SSH all pointing to this virtual machine [00:22] scarlson: WTH! mountmanager is russian by default :( Looks promising tho, but cant understand a thing of it ... [00:22] jimi_c: Understand I have no idea what I'm doing with fsck. [00:22] can someone help? [00:22] Rocky: ok and the apache is already seen? [00:22] @twig11: yes, I typically do fsck -y so it just answers yes to everything but you can't ctrl+c it or you might end up with an invalid disk [00:22] sacarlson blindfaith.zapto.org [00:22] i probably put too much faith in fsck, but i've repaired many ext3/4 partitions and haven't had an issue yet [00:23] jimi_c: I accidentally ctrl+c'd it twice trying to copy text for this chat without thinking. I just reissued the command and it seems to be continuing. [00:24] and noone really knows what fsck is doing except fs developers :D but if you have a bad partition it's about all you can do [00:24] sacarlson im just confused @ what options in the config to change so it listens for outside connections [00:24] cross your fingers and fsck it :) [00:24] hi all! complete newbie here! [00:24] anyone know how to help me fix a graphics driver? [00:24] Rocky: you might check sudo netstat -pant ; to see that 6666 is listening on all address [00:24] jimi_c: holding down the "y" key and praying... [00:25] HELLO???? [00:25] hello, How do I turn off the wifi power management so It does it at boot. [00:25] jimi_c: directories count wrong, free inodes count wrong... Just keep hitting yes? [00:26] jimi_c: fsck does excactly what it's surposed to to (second letter, check alt.syrecovery or so) :-D [00:26] ok i just clocked my fx-8150 to 4.45gzh.. is there a way to make ubuntu stop decreasing my cpu speed? I remember using linux mint I had the option to add a cpu frequency tab to my toolbar ? how would i do this with ubuntu [00:26] toolbar (gnomepannel) [00:26] maxflax: the module it uses may have the option to disable power management [00:26] @twig11: yep. I just did the same thing a few nights ago. Took an md raid set and dropped it in new hardware. Fedora was not happy when it booted up... [00:27] but after doing that it mounted fine and all my files seemed to be there [00:27] jeremiah_: run: lsusb see if its detected there, you can then use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [00:27] jimi_c: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** now what's the quickest way to see if it worked? [00:27] jeremiah_: If it takes long to get an answer, then either no one has one, or you need to give more information. No need to get impatient. [00:28] ActionParsnip, Yeah, I can easily turn it off with iwconfig eth0 power off but I want it in boot so I dont have to do it manually every time [00:28] ActionParsnip,yes it sees one. what is the 8 character hex id? [00:28] @twig11: mount it up [00:29] jeremiah_: read the line [00:29] maxflax: add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line [00:29] ActionParsnip, which part?

AES2501 Fingerprint Sensor [00:30] could anyone with an english version of mountmanager guide me to where you can change language in it s settings, if it has such an option [00:30] maxflax: you can use startup manager to add a custom startup command [00:30] What's a good text editor for gnome that allows you to do find/replace using regular expressions?

Confession time. I think I also broke grub earlier by trying to repair this problem with...now I don't even remember the name of the utility because I installed it earlier on a non-persistent live-usb. Anyway, it now boots directly to Windows. How do I make sure grub is working before I reboot? [00:33] Im new and the log file doesnt mean much! [00:33] yup [00:33] hopohopo: I use emacs, which also has the feature (and much much more), vim may also be good. [00:33] @twig11: "man grub-install" [00:34] i don't use it that often, so best to read the man page or google for the correct syntax [00:34] Laminator_: Is emacs gui or command line? [00:34] Both [00:34] oic [00:34] thanks. [00:34] It has a GTK frontend [00:34] jimi_c: thanks [00:35] use emacs -nw to use the command line version [00:35] Okay, I'll bbl [00:35] rebooting [00:35] * Laminator_ is using ERC in emacs on the command-line ;) [00:35] !pastebin [00:35] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

I tried right-clicking on a folder and assign file browser as the application to use but still have no success. [00:52] wdsnead: maverick is EOL next month, I'd get updated soon [00:53] looks like I am now using the default .. but previously I did: append initrd=ubuntu/hardy/alt/initrd.gz .... url=http://shaz/ubuntu/hardy/preseed-hardy-alt.cfg [00:53] unless you don't want to use unity.. [00:53] i'm actually the maintainer for the cobbler project, but i'm more of a RHEL/fedora guy so I've never really tested an ubuntu build [00:53] the ubuntu build server is based on cobbler [00:53] tonesfrommars: a) There are more desktops than Gnome B) You can tweak the desktop to look like Gnome2 [00:54] does anyone how to obtain proper access rights when access a machine over vnc. is it vnc or the os that hinders it and are there any configurations that can be made somewhere to allow proper control [00:54] right now i don't want to go to Unity. -- David [00:54] ActionParsnip: Do you know if it's possible to use gnome 3 in ubuntu? [00:54] SilfenX: what are you connecting to the remote system to do?

[00:54] infest: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [00:55] I catn make any persistent changes for example. I cant rearrange icons on the desktop, I cant configure the vpn using the gui etc etc [00:55] tonesfrommars: Unity is just a shell for Gnome3, Oneiric and onwards use Gnome3 is you use Ubuntu, and mnot Kubuntu etc === max is now known as Guest37431 [00:56] no i have not, but i downloaded it from the ubuntu website. is there still a chance it isn't official? [00:56] !md5 | infest [00:56] infest: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:56] ActionParsnip: I thought unity was "inspired by" Gnome3, wasn't there some falling out between canonical and the Gnome people? [00:56] infest: its not to test officialness, its to make sure it hasn't been mangled in transit [00:57] tonesfrommars: no, it just uses Gnome3 libraries [00:57] ok thanks, i will come back once i have [00:57] how can I fix the Places menu to open folders in the menu??? [00:57] tonesfrommars: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?p=53670 [00:57] okay. I'm going to try to remain respectful, but this problem is at the end of my rope. again, I can't upgrade stuff, because of this stupid multiarch crap that I got "upgraded" to without asking. For example: "dpkg: error processing libfreetype6 (--configure): / libfreetype6:amd64 2.4.4-2ubuntu1.2 cannot be configured because libfreetype6:i386 is in a different version (2.4.4-2ubuntu1.1)" -- how do I get rid of this unw [00:57] anted and problematic i386 version of the library? [00:58] DocPlatypus: you will need a deb to make the versions match [00:59] ActionParsnip: I do. I am trying to upgrade to the new version. aptitude gets done, runs dpkg, which sees the i386 version there and promptly takes a dump. [00:59] Namicod: You can also install hwinfo and then run "hwinfo --short --network". Gives you a simple and easy to read output. [00:59] I just want to get rid of the i386 version. "sudo aptitude remove libpng12-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386" does not work, btw. [00:59] and I've been under the impression it is supposed to. [01:01] Namicod: Sorry, scratch that, doesn't give you the vendor. Best run the command that was given earlier [01:03] only thing I can think to do: downgrade these packages back to the versions that aren't in oneiric-security [01:03] and then re-upgrade [01:03] i cannot in any way launch jetty silently: java -jar /opt/jetty/start.jar > /dev/null 2>&1 & [01:03] hey all I'm trying to search recursively from my current dir for a file called blah.gemspec [01:03] it keeps throwing things in my terminal after launch [01:03] ok the hashes have matched [01:03] " find -name *.gemspec " only searches the current dir [01:03] how recursive? [01:04] ActionParsnip: that's a good idea (Gnome classic), I wonder if it's lightweight, or just a duck-typing of unity... [01:04] I really need to make sure whoever made this decision gets a piece of my mind. multiarch has done nothing but make problems for me, if I wanted to run i386 packages, I'd install an emulator or buy old 32-bit hardware!!! [01:05] honestly... this is dangerously close to being as bad as some Microsoft foul-ups. [01:07] Can anyone out there help me resolve why I cannot open any folders under the Places menu, except for the Computer folder??? Ubuntu acts like it is opening the folder but nothing happens. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and don't want to go to Unity at this time. [01:09] ciao [01:09] wdsnead: can you run nautilus manually via alt+f2 ? [01:09] !list [01:09] paoletta: No warez here!

[01:09] How can I make it so a window will have keyboard focus without bringing the window to the front by hovering my mouse over the window? [01:10] wdsnead: your problem kind of reminds me of the "default action" problem some people got where clicking menu items didn't run nautilus, i have no idea on the solution off hand though :S could be a good line to google along though if you get me [01:10] other than the md5 hashes not matching, is there any other test i can do to ensure none of the information my usb is not mangled? [01:11] Nevermind I figured it out. [01:12] daftykins: been out to google and searched the issue and tried everything out there and none of it worked that is why I came here. Will go and search more. Thank you, daftykins. [01:12] DocPlatypus: might be obvious, but there is nothing like multi-arch support, neither on linux nor on win or anything else.you can always only count on luck that the drivers, libs and progs don't conflict. imho, if you think you need multi-arch support, then choose the lowest common denominator and that is usually classic 32bit. sorry for not providing anything more useful. [01:12] wdsnead: no problem, sorry i can't be of any better help [01:13] mirko1: I want 64-bit. I want all this 32-bit shit gone (pardon my French). I thought I had it gone. but it's still there and now it is conflicting with a security upgrade. [01:13] DocPlatypus: I agree!

Most intel macs can only boot from USB via EFI, which means that you need an EFI based bootloader. [01:23] wait to see if my ubunttu pick the wireless card up. [01:24] i try the live cd with no luck.

[01:25] perlsyntax: get fully updated too, those centrino chips often ned the n speed disabling to work [01:25] sacarlson: that's just it. I don't need it. I don't want it. one of the upgrades/updates set me up for multiarch without my permission and against my wishes!!! [01:26] thank i be back in abit [01:26] in addition to an egregious violation of the principle of least surprise, it is getting in the way of a security update. [01:26] Many software packages require multiarch support. [01:26] ratcheer: I'm not running any of them. so I don't want multiarch. I should not have it forced on me. [01:27] Well, no upgrade should have installed it unless some package required it. [01:27] this should not even be an issue. I should have been *asked* if I need this, and *warned* of the possible problem first. [01:28] DocPlatypus: Can you pastebin the output of "aptitude why libpng12-0:i386"? [01:28] I just got a apple emac g4. There is no os on the computer. I downloaded ubuntu 10.04 powerpc iso and put it in the cd tray. However when I put it on I get the normal folder with a question mark. Is there something I should push, like f2 for the pc? [01:28] Hi everyone btw [01:28] Example: I run a 64-bit video driver on a 64-bit system. But, for some reason, the driver requires multiarch support. [01:28] spursncowboys: did you MD5 test the ISO? [01:28] spursncowboys: Hold down the 'c' key at boot. [01:28] Jordan_U: it's one line, no pastebin required. "E: No package named "libpng12-0:i386" exists." [01:30] spursncowboys: I'm not sure holding c will work, it doesn't for me, so if you have to enter open firmware (cmd+shift+o+f on bootup) and run "boot cd:,\\:tbxi [01:30] spursncowboys: to install? I think you need to reboot to get the cd to boot up [01:30] Jordan_U: BTW, not what I expected to see. and now I'm not sure what if anything will fix this. [01:30] " [01:30] Jordan: thanks [01:30] DocPlatypus: That's odd since the command works for me, and the package name 'libpng12-0:i386' is included in one of the error messages you posted. I don't know why that's happening. [01:30] make sure you use backslashes [01:30] spursncowboys: You're welcome. [01:31] sacarlson: ok Ill try that [01:32] sacarlson: I rebooted it originally. I'll try it and brb [01:32] yea i think i'll just boot from a disk. i just wanted to try an alternative to running from a disk because my motherboard got crazy hot when i did that, and i wanted to see if it'll run cooler using a usb. [01:32] when I try to launch gnome-documents (ubuntu 12.04) it doesn't open. from the command-line I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/898613/ for output. [01:32] help [01:32] thanks for the help though [01:33] DocPlatypus: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install"? [01:34] Hello, my receiver can grab music from a computer if it has dlna, how do I make it so music on my ubuntu laptop can be pushed out? Thanks! [01:34] can i get an alternative clock applet for ubuntu that shows local time and UTC at the same time ? [01:34] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/898621/ === whoever is now known as costcosJarred [01:35] OY1R: Great question! [01:36] pmp6nl: I can't guide you, but you're looking for a DLNA server. surely there's something in the repositories. [01:36] ratcheer, i tried adding a second clock applet but when i set it's time, both clocks change. [01:36] DocPlatypus: "apt-cache policy libfreetype6:i386"? [01:37] Jordan_U: N: Unable to locate package libfreetype6:i386 [01:37] jswagner, Ok, I was looking through that. I will give it a try, I just didnt know if anyone had experince with it. Thanks [01:37] Is the EFI situation still a bit of a roadblock to installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro? [01:37] DocPlatypus: What about "apt-cache policy libfreetype6"? [01:37] Jordan_U: I have already taken the multiarch configuration for apt out, I thought I had gotten rid of all i386 cruft left. is that going to be an issue? [01:38] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/898625/ [01:38] FunGoat: Your best bet is to install Ubuntu using a CD (rather than USB) and the +mac iso. That way you will be using Apple's BIOS implementation and avoid most problems with EFI. [01:39] mediatomb it is! [01:39] DocPlatypus: If you removed the entries for the 1386 repositories without first checking that you didn't have any i386 packages already installed that would explain why you're in this situation now. [01:39] Jordan_U: What's the +mac iso? I've been attempting rEFIt without much luck. [01:39] Jordan_U: another reason the upgrade should never ass-ume I want multiarch when I don't. [01:40] FunGoat: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37999/what-is-different-about-the-mac-iso-image/40480#40480 === Pets-away is now known as Petskull [01:40] where are the config files for footnote (elementary notes app) located? [01:41] DocPlatypus: Your complaining is not constructive. Please stop. [01:41] Jordan_U: sorry. I'm guessing I need to re-add i386, upgrade these packages, then get rid of it again? [01:41] Jordan_U: Wow. How have I missed that for 10 months? Thanks for the input. I'll give it a shot. [01:42] if that's the only way to fix it, I will [01:42] FunGoat: It's not well advertised :) You're welcome. [01:42] but this time, I want to be sure I have no i386 packages left [01:42] DocPlatypus: Yes. [01:42] Jordan_U: Thanks! Very helpful. [01:42] OY1R: I had an app like that on Windows, I think it was called Syntime. No, that doesn't look right. It would display many different clocks at the same time. But, I don't run Windows anymore. [01:49] has anyone heard of torrentslam? its a plugin for transmisson that will auto download the latest 720p/1080p releases ? [01:50] GhostConn: that does not belong on #ubuntu, since transmission and piracy are completely cross-platform. [01:51] Ok I tried the cmd, shift, and the two letter keys...no luck. then tried to hold down the c key...nothing. I've rebooted the emac g4 three times now. [01:51] spursncowboys, ask in #emacs [01:51] mcamaret: agreed in part, but please note that not all use of p2p is copyright infringement, and the infringement of copyright has zero to do with the robbing of ships on the high seas and many feel they should not be compared [01:51] ok but where better to ask then hear lol? [01:52] piracy is nto illegal in my eyes lol [01:52] nor the rest of the planet lol [01:54] spursncowboys: don't listen to DJ, hopefully you know better. [01:54] if piracy is legal, why did they call it piracy? [01:55] DocPlatypus: I did not say torrenting is illegal [01:55] !ot | Oer GhostConn [01:55] Oer GhostConn: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:55] anyway... I have multiarch support back in so I can get rid of this... how can I tell which libfreetype6 is which in aptitude now? [01:56] DJ: what does an apple emac have to do with gnu emacs? [01:56] it just shows two of them. and I have no idea which is which. I want to get rid of the i386 one [01:56] what is outlook alternative for exchange email for ubunut? [01:56] mskazmii: evolution [01:56] mcamaret, i though he meant emacs, now let's drop the Subject since is not an Ubuntu topic, ;) [01:57] yest but that is not the alternative it works with exchange as imap [01:57] mskazmii: so what do you need? [01:57] honestly who cares about piracy... millions upon millions of people do it by the millisecond lol...? how could something be illegal if we all do it? its a sharing community how should someone have the right to tell me if i purchased something that I can't borrow it or trade to a friend [01:57] DocPlatypus: if it works with multiarch installed maybe it would be easier just to leave it installed? [01:57] Icons are showing on menus and buttons even though I have the options disabled under desktop -> gnome -> interface under gconf-editor. How can I disable these icons? [01:58] and my question was ubuntu related as it is a linux ubuntu app? [01:58] GhostConn: that is offtopic here [01:58] I am looking outlook alternative. Evolution is the limited alternative [01:58] DocPlatypus: sudo apt-get remove packagename:i386 [01:58] ok I have bad sectors on drive C or drive sdb gparted says to make a full clone but I instead want to do a ntfsresize --bad-sectors which it's also recomending but when I do sudo ntfsresize --bad-sectors /dev/sdb I get an error saying "FAILED TO STARTUP VOLUME: invalid argument and other stuff I want to do know why [01:58] mskazmii: thunderbird is the default email client now [01:58] mskazmii: you are connecting to a proprietary piece of software which is doing all it can to keep non-microsoft clients out [01:59] mskazmii: evolution is as good as you are going to get under ubuntu [01:59] Jordan_U: that's "helpfully" offering to remove about 60 other packages along with it. and I can't tell if those are amd64 versions or i386 versions, since one of them is libc6 I'm going to hose my system if I'm wrong. [01:59] I do understand that but This is the only thing holding me back from switching from windows [01:59] DocPlatypus: Please pastebin the complete output (including the command itself). [01:59] mskazmii: you may find joy with Thunderbird, but your choice of mail server has severely restricted your choice (just as Microsoft always do) [01:59] OY1R: It was Symm Time and it is from Symmetricom. But, it is only available for Windows. [01:59] mskazmii: use a different mail server, problem solved [02:00] ok what other mail server do you recomend that has close functionality as microsoft exchange? [02:00] !es [02:00] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [02:01] mskazmii: what features do you use in Exchange? [02:01] mskazmii: groupwise isn't bad imho [02:01] My main concern is syncing [02:01] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/898645/ [02:01] all email folders not and calender on multiple devices including mobile devices [02:02] DocPlatypus, sudo apt-get -f install [02:02] where do i change sleep settings? [02:02] mskazmii: not something I've had to manage, I'd start with groupwise [02:02] groupwis? [02:02] ok let me look into it [02:02] DocPlatypus: 1: You can see the ':i386' at the end of the i386 packages and 2: You should get dpkg into a consistent state *first*. [02:02] thanks [02:02] ah [02:03] I haven't had to deal with an apt-based system getting this hosed since I ran 10.04 LTS off of a USB drive and had the filesystem *regularly* blow up like an overinflated balloon [02:04] how do you unencrypted your home folder? :P [02:05] what is this? [02:05] Ununtu Community IRC Support [02:05] Ubuntu* [02:05] Jordan_U: how do I list to see if there are any other i386 packages left over? [02:06] <_Tristan> Hi. I just booted to a live usb, got the graphical start sequence then ended up with a terminal ubuntu@ubuntu in the home directory [02:06] <_Tristan> what can I do about this? [02:06] _Tristan: try hitting control+alt+f7 [02:06] mijk, are you having a problem accessing it? [02:07] Im trying to hack a facebook account to see private photos. [02:07] where do i start? [02:07] jewBro: not here [02:07] DocPlatypus: I think "dpkg -l | grep ii | grep :i386" should do it. [02:07] jewBro, how about knowing its illegal and you will go to jail for it [02:07] somebody told me to star with a linux program [02:07] ok I have bad sectors on drive C or drive sdb gparted says to make a full clone but I instead want to do a ntfsresize --bad-sectors which it's also recomending but when I do sudo ntfsresize --bad-sectors /dev/sdb I get an error saying "FAILED TO STARTUP VOLUME: invalid argument and other stuff I want to do know why [02:07] yes, made a samba share and all I have is the readme.txt and stuff [02:07] <_Tristan> mcamaret: it's got the boot sequence, last two messages are "starting automatic crash report generation" and "stopping save kernel messages" [02:08] <_Tristan> but still no gui [02:08] jewBro: We don't support mallicious or illegal activities here. Period. [02:08] i just wanna be a hacker like you guys [02:08] and whitehat hacker [02:08] :) [02:08] jewBro: stop now please [02:08] mijk: this is all I found so far http://serverfault.com/questions/160277/ubuntu-how-to-decrypt-home-directory-swap-basically-everything-without-reins [02:08] <_Tristan> ignore the troll, and the troll will go away [02:08] I started using linux attracted to hacking activities [02:08] jewBro, hackers = computer programmers NOT what your thinking [02:08] jewBro: This channel is for Ubuntu support questions only. This is your last warning. [02:08] yeah IM a programmer my self [02:09] _Tristan: you can reboot, and you can remake your cd/usb key [02:09] i know how to [02:09] and how to main*( [02:09] <_Tristan> mcamaret: well, I have two of them, and they both do the same thing [02:09] idiot [02:09] ssfdre38, no need for name calling [02:09] okay, I'll try that out sacarlson [02:09] <_Tristan> mcamaret: and I did verify the checksum so I think the installer is intact [02:09] thanks [02:09] mijk, guide to access encrypted home using a LiveCD: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/Ecryptfs#Live [02:10] _Tristan: in that case, I have no idea [02:10] jewBro, hacking is an art [02:10] <_Tristan> I guess I'll try the alternate installer... [02:10] lol [02:10] <_Tristan> I like how it says "requested" instead of "kicked", makes it classy :) [02:11] you might want to remove the other ban so people who use the freenode web irc can get on and talk [02:12] so does anyone know how to enable the FTP function on the Ubuntu php distro release [02:12] Does anyone know why I can see correct ASCII characters with UTF-8 in putty but not when I use 'screen' with UTF-8 encoding? [02:12] <_Tristan> ssfdre38: apt-get install php5-(tabtab) ftp-ish-something [02:12] ssfdre38: you can install openssh-server and get an SFTP server. [02:12] _Tristan, not there trust me i tired it [02:13] ActionParsnip, i need the php5-ftp function not an ftp deamond [02:13] <_Tristan> ssfdre38: locate php.ini, edit php.ini, find ftp things, enable them [02:13] <_Tristan> that's my second best guess [02:13] anybody know of a good sega genesis / mega drive emulator for 64-bit Ubuntu? Fusion and Gens don't work :/ [02:13] lol [02:14] Icons are showing on menus and buttons even though I have the options disabled under desktop -> gnome -> interface under gconf-editor. How can I disable these icons? [02:14] <_Tristan> I believe that emulators are illegal... but more importantly, I believe that you should google it rather than ask here. [02:14] no its not there it needs to be enable like if i was doing it from source it would be --configure-ftp [02:14] emulators aren't illegal [02:14] <_Tristan> no, ROMs are illegal, that's it [02:15] <_Tristan> I think. I dunno, it's been a long time since I used either [02:15] roms are illegal IF you don't own the game [02:15] no ROMs are not illegal as well _Tristan [02:15] distributing them may be depending on your locality maybe. [02:16] <_Tristan> huh. I thought they were. [02:16] done... thanks Jordan_U, DJ, sacarlson... (ratcheer left already) and anyone else [02:17] DocPlatypus: You're welcome. [02:17] _Tristan: if you own the cartridge you can own the ROM [02:18] if hackpad is the best wiki ever, is the second-best wiki ever open-source? and if so, what is it? [02:18] Mediawiki [02:18] does ubuntu goes into sleep after some time? === Richard_Cavell_ is now known as Richard_Cavell [02:19] learningc, if you set it up to [02:19] learningc: yes, its set in screensaver and also in power options [02:19] ssfdre38, just installed ubuntu 11.10. not sure if it will go sleep by default [02:20] learningc, it does if you leave it alone for 10 mins [02:20] just wondering, is Adobe Flash 64-bit being updated again now? [02:20] DocPlatypus: its in the partner repo [02:21] ok... but the plugin is available as 64-bit? for a while I remember the 64-bit Flash was discontinued [02:21] ah, I saw something in power option called suspend, is that equivalent to sleep? [02:21] ssfdre38: I don't recall having to enable any php-ftp , I just installed some website filemanger I'll have to lookup the name [02:21] learningc: probably, yes. suspend still uses a minimal amount of power. hibernate writes the state to disk, after which point you can remove power [02:23] sacarlson, im not looking into a file manager in fact i dont want one at all. i just want to know so i can try for my wordpress sites hosted on my server [02:23] learningc, yes it is [02:23] ssfdre38: do you just want to download files? [02:24] no its so wp can download, upload and unzip the files without me having to put in my ftp info every time [02:25] ssfdre38: I did recall having to change settings so that if no index was present it would put a file list of the directory to download [02:25] sacarlson, didn't work lol … solution: delete the user and start anew ;) [02:25] MY CD/DVD player doesnt show up when I put in a disc, it spins up with the light on but then stops and ...nothing. How do i check this and get it to work? Im using 11.10 [02:25] ssfdre38: upload? then I would download the filemanger code and find out how they did it [02:25] sacarlson, no im not looking for that [02:26] how much space ubuntu takes right after installation? [02:26] learningc, about 3.5GB [02:26] 4gb [02:26] ah cool, I have barely 8GB [02:26] ssfdre38: http://phpfm.sourceforge.net/ === newbie is now known as Guest82724 [02:26] is it possible to have getty use a gnome-terminal for alt+f(1..6) [02:26] learningc, that is plenty for install but doesn't leave much room for wiggles [02:27] sacarlson, its not a file manager [02:27] ssfdre38: well it has the function of upload so when you want to learn it's best to look at examples [02:27] pangolin, I'm on a small aspire one with 8GB ssd [02:27] lebro: no, VTs aren't xorg sessions. [02:27] i know the function i need and its ftp() but its not enable by default and php5-ftp is not on apt-get [02:28] learningc, like I said it is plenty to install. [02:28] zykotic10: ah ok, thanks [02:28] pangolin, yes, fortunately for me :) [02:28] ssfdre38: well then they would have a work around or instructions on how to enable it === rallias_ is now known as gasseus [02:31] ssfdre38: how about this http://davidwalsh.name/send-files-ftp-php [02:31] hey guys i have a small problem i'm using 10.10 but lost the little alert on the top of panel bar that tells if the wirless is connected please tell how to get it back on ? [02:33] palladin35y1: right-click an empty space, add to panel, indicator-applet (i think) you should really upgrade to 11.10, you are two releases behind. [02:33] mcamaret: I whould recommend that he upgrfades to 12.04 when that comes out [02:34] hydrox24: he isn't going on lts releases, so for now he can get 11.10 [02:34] same i would wait till 12.04 so he doesnt have to do it twice at the same time [02:34] <_Tristan> am I the only one who hates everything about 11.10? [02:34] _Tristan: what makes it worse than natty? [02:34] well 12.04 has a nice bug on it for muti-displays [02:34] mcamaret: thanks i use an old dell D610 [02:35] (besides the bfb being in the launcher, which is unFitt) [02:35] <_Tristan> mcamaret: it was when gnome 2 was no longer available [02:35] <_Tristan> I use gnome 3 now (which I like much more than unity) but I miss gnome 2 [02:35] _Tristan: precise beta has gnome classic working properly [02:35] gnome2 is gone [02:36] gtk, totem, nautilus, everything has been updated, so I'm guessing what you want is gnome-panel. [02:36] running 11.10 here and i've been having problems with my wifi disconnecting/reconnecting for apparently no reason [02:36] intel iwl3945 [02:36] i did some googling but i'm coming up empty-handed [02:36] <_Tristan> mcamaret: yes, exactly. But it'll be there in 12.04? Nowai. [02:37] _Tristan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ [02:37] i'm not so sure its disconnecting and reconnecting, but its definitely dropping packets, i've been monitoring it with ping plotter from a wired computer [02:38] <_Tristan> this is good news. I shall smoke a bowl in celebration. [02:38] _Tristan: Why? gnome-shell is *so* awesome. [02:38] mcamaret: do you think i should go lubuntu xubuntu 12.04 [02:39] palladin35y1: I think you should upgrade to 11.10 [02:40] <_Tristan> mcamaret: I have come to enjoy hitting the windows key and then clicking on the window that I want... and the login screen isn't bad... and I like how nifty the top menus look... [02:40] <_Tristan> but I liked desktop cube. That shit was primo. [02:40] _Tristan, please mind the language and topic of your comments. [02:40] ok thanks mcamaret [02:41] <_Tristan> sorry. That... uh... desktop effect was primo. [02:41] _Tristan: I used to love the cube. but I find gnome-shell is much better for an overview, and I can organize windows from it too. [02:41] later people [02:42] <_Tristan> mcamaret: I'm just hoping they'll get my touchpad driver right this time. [02:42] <_Tristan> in 11.10 they actually made it worse. [02:46] hmm, this is weird. I've chrooted into a mounted vmware disk with Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit on it, but when I enter my passphrase from ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase into the ecryptfs-mount-private command it says the passphrase is incorrect [02:46] I tried it several times in case of incorrect spelling to [02:46] tried copy/paste but I don't know if it worked or not because you can't see any chars on the screen when typing in a passphrase === edbian is now known as deadmund [02:48] _Tristan: what make and model system? [02:48] <_Tristan> no-name-: terminals don't ctrl-v, did you right click / paste? [02:48] <_Tristan> ActionParsnip: samsung qx410 [02:48] _Tristan: yep [02:49] <_Tristan> no-name-: that was my best guess. Sorry. [02:49] no-name-: use CTRL+SHIFT+C to copy and CTRL+SHIFT+V to paste [02:50] _Tristan: try: sudo rmmod psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse proto=any [02:50] I right click copy right click paste and it says passphrase is incorrect [02:50] I tried typing it like 10 times in case it wasn't pasting [02:50] _Tristan: if it works, we can make it permanent [02:51] ssfdre38: I found there is a package for php-net-ftp http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=php-net-ftp would you need that? [02:51] it's bizarre. the passphrase from ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase is somehow incorrect for ecryptfs-mount-private :s [02:52] <_Tristan> ActionParsnip: I'm afraid not. I've already done just a few things to rectify the problem. I opened up a bug about it when the laptop first came out, installed the eventual patch that was posted in the bug thread, enjoyed perfect mousage for two days, upgraded and wept [02:52] Xubuntu + FF = RAM Hog.. How can I make my RAM dump more often? [02:55] Icons are showing on menus and buttons even though I have the options disabled under desktop -> gnome -> interface under gconf-editor. How can I disable these icons?

[02:57] CellTech: more addons = more ram [02:57] Ok. So how do I make the whole OS dump my ram more often as windows used too? [02:58] CellTech: can you expand on 'dump ram'? [02:58] No clue what that is [02:58] oh. actually, I think it's asking for my login password. because when I enter it I don't get the "passphrase incorrect" error, but instead this error: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/570814/ [02:58] WHOA [02:58] lotta people here [02:59] It's a little slow toight [02:59] less than 1500 nics [03:00] anybody know what the problem is ?

When I was a windows user. This ram hog stuff never happened [03:02] CellTech: try using LXDE or XFCE? Or buy more RAM. It's really cheap now [03:03] CellTech: You can't tell the OS to throw away an application's allocated RAM. The problem you are having is either 1: You're misunderstanding RAM usage measurements 2: Firefox or a plugin / extension (like flash) is using up too much RAM and you need to deal with that at the application level.

How do i check this and get it to work? Im using 11.10 [03:04] what's the difference between ubuntu and unix [03:05] extraperson1988: ubuntu is linux, unix is unix.

[03:07] Flatlined: you got that backwards [03:08] sorry [03:08] ATT === sw0rdfish is now known as sw0rdfish-super- === sw0rdfish-super- is now known as super-debuger [03:09] I tried updating to 12.04 the last week but it stalled and didn't complete. Think it would work now? [03:09] AT@T owners === super-debuger is now known as sw0rdfish [03:11] triscuit, you do know 12.04 is in beta1 release right? [03:13] yeah ssfdre38 but it's getting a lot of updates and it works for some [03:13] what is a client for owncloud that synchronizes like dropbox? [03:17] !info owncloud [03:17] owncloud (source: owncloud): personal file storage server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1+git20110209-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 381 kB, installed size 2556 kB [03:17] hmm === mintman is now known as JelloPop [03:18] mcamaret: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/desktop-syncing-comes-to-owncloud.html [03:19] anyone know which package is responsible for the remote desktop preferences ? [03:19] does "PLEASE DO NOT use in production. IT WILL EAT YOUR FILES!!" mean something? ;) [03:19] under preferences > remote desktop, you get some simple settigns for setting up a remote desktop server [03:19] I'll try it but keeping everything backed up. :) [03:20] i really want to install that but dont see it here in lubuntu [03:20] backing up is always the best policy at all times :) IMHO [03:21] robison: what are you connecting to the remote system to achieve? [03:22] wylde: +1 [03:22] ActionParsnip: i just found it... it is a program called vino [03:22] wylde: few do it though, people love learning the hard way [03:22] and vino-preferences will give me what i want [03:22] robison: there may be a sleeker solution to why you are connecting... [03:22] ActionParsnip: that's how I learned :) I have no desire to repeat that lesson [03:22] ActionParsnip: i had to dig in synaptic but was not sure what it would be called [03:22] ActionParsnip: well i want to control xbmc with my iphone [03:23] robison: you are kidding? [03:23] robison: xbmc has a remote app on the iphone [03:23] ActionParsnip: the only way i can see doing that now is through a vnc server [03:23] ActionParsnip: it doesnt work with linux [03:23] robison: you don't need vino or anything like that, its in xbmc itself [03:23] ActionParsnip: it doesnt work with linux [03:23] only windows and mac right now [03:23] robison: did you enable the remote control in the xbmc settings [03:24] meh use vlc to play media and there should be all kinds vlc remotes [03:24] ActionParsnip: what is the iphone app called? [03:24] robison: you can also use vlc remote control, there are LOTS of remote access apps for VLC too [03:24] robison: xbmc remote, made by the xbmc guys [03:24] robison: I use vlc with a vlc remote on my android phone [03:24] ActionParsnip: xbmc remote works with xbmc? and its free? and works in linux? [03:25] robison: yes [03:25] http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/xbmc-remote/id289316916?mt=8 [03:25] ActionParsnip: xbmc remote is $230 [03:25] <{N{o}x}> hello [03:26] ActionParsnip: i dont mind buying it but if it doesnt end up working ... [03:26] robison: this is why I ALWAYS ask because people use VNC for all kinds of stupid stuff when there is an easier way [03:26] <{N{o}x}> Hey [03:26] ActionParsnip: yea.. youre right... [03:26] robison: the remote is $2.99... [03:27] <{N{o}x}> algum brasileiro: [03:27] ActionParsnip: and you said there is one for vlc as well for iphone?

[03:27] ActionParsnip: thanks a lot... yea I was going to do something stupid [03:27] robison: not to mention trying to xbmc over vnc will be laggy and awkward IMHO [03:27] *to control [03:27] robison: yes, loads. I use android and there are a lot, many people use similar with iphones etc [03:28] ActionParsnip: i wish there was a ubuntu remote [03:28] so i could just use my phone like a mouse [03:28] left right up down [03:28] robison: depends what you want to control [03:28] and enter functions [03:28] ummm, actually if you searched I bet you'd find someone has done it [03:28] just so I can start and stop programs and do web browsing [03:28] robison: there is a mouse option you can use, its a java app. You can use your phone like a touchpad [03:29] robison: http://thismightbehelpful.blogspot.co.uk/2009/07/remotepad-iphone-ubuntu.html [03:29] robison: ages ago I did that through the usb cable with my sony clie palm device lol [03:29] vnc should die [03:29] ActionParsnip: wylde but i guess... xbmc gives me the abil,ity to launch apps inside of it so ... i could probably do it that way [03:29] robison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRyWLFgKucU [03:29] ActionParsnip: wylde thanks you guys.. that helps me a bunch ... im off to try this stuff out [03:30] :) [03:33] hey guys i m unable to play videos in totem player can anyone help me ???? [03:33] I actually find it very helpful to be patient and spend an afternoon or evening googling the he** out any projects beforehand to get a grasp on what I want to accomplish. [03:34] hey guys i m unable to play videos in totem player can anyone help me ???? [03:34] unkr: are the videos a particular format? [03:34] !patience | unkr [03:34] unkr: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:35] okk they are different format like VOB, AVI , mp4 many others [03:35] unkr: and none will play? [03:35] unkr: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:35] unkr: ...what ActionParsnip said [03:35] ActionParsnip, No idea about that what to do now to solve it [03:36] some videos are playing but they don't have sounds [03:36] ActionParsnip, i had installed some gsstreams plugins but it doesn't play all videos [03:36] unkr: you probably need the codecs and extra software in ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:37] unkr: run: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:37] unkr: you may need TAB and ENTER to accept a license [03:37] ActionParsnip ok anything else ?? [03:38] wylde, ActionParsnip thnx :) [03:40] unkr: restart the player and retry, may help [03:40] I know it's not really a support question but is there a backup utility that natively supports squashfs as a compressor? [03:42] ActionParsnip, i m still downloading the unrestricted files if i get some problem i will let u know thnx :) [03:43] unkr: might also want to install vlc and gnome-mplayer. Lots of codecs pulled in there too [03:44] unkr: after the install I believe there will be some text telling you a command to use to install libdvdcss which you will need to play most commercial dvds. I don't remember the command offhand though. [03:45] !dvd [03:45] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:45] ActionParsnip, yeah i will try them also after this === iqpi_ is now known as iqpi [03:54] what's ubuntu studio used to for? [03:54] chroot: multimedia creation/editing I believe [03:55] can i install it on normal ubuntu? [03:56] chroot: it technically is normal ubuntu, it just has more packages gear towards multimedia than vanilla ubuntu [03:56] *geared [03:58] where can i stick a .vimrc in ubuntu? [03:58] i tried ~/.vimrc but it seems to have no effect [04:00] totesmuhgoats: because you are likely using vim-tiny. Have you installed a more complete version of vim? [04:00] jrib: i have gvim installed, would it install vim as a dependency? [04:00] totesmuhgoats: yes. What are you executing that you feel is not reading ~/.vimrc? [04:01] jrib: well i had some settings, most shiftwidth and softtabstop set to 2 [04:01] as well as set nu [04:01] but those settings aren't in effect when i edit a document [04:01] totesmuhgoats: what command do you type? "vim"? Or something else? [04:01] vim [04:01] how to install vga driver intel HD grphics 3000 at 10.10 ubuntu? [04:01] totesmuhgoats: what does this return: readlink -f $(which vim) [04:02] jrib: sorry, it seems to be working now that I deleted it and re created it [04:02] maybe there was an issue with the format of the file or something [04:02] Note to self: dont kill off zygote on android [04:03] thanks for the help though [04:03] The result is the same as a reboot, so I guess what the watchdog does when the system hangs is it kills off zygote [04:04] abe__: its in a default install. You do know that maverick is EOL next month...? [04:23] i am on my 2nd day using ubuntu 11.10 and unity this is quite an accomplishment by the ubuntu team [04:23] before it was so squirrly but this is impressive [04:23] really impressive [04:25] any1 knows how to reduce power consumption on a laptop with ubuntu? [04:25] kpow: use lxde [04:25] uBUXUBu: define squirrly [04:25] kpow: are you using precise? [04:26] just always have to configure it or panels disappearing or updates breaking ActionParsnip [04:26] this one seems polished [04:26] kpow, uhm... im not admitting to anything... ;p [04:26] hi! [04:26] uBUXUBu: thats got a lot better, but does happen [04:26] erh, ActionParsnip, im not admitting to anything [04:26] yeah i figure it still does but it looks so darn good now [04:27] kpow: if you are using precise then you are only suported in #ubuntu+1, I saw you ask in there too [04:27] ActionParsnip, oh well ok [04:27] and for the 1st time in my life im wireless in buntu [04:27] uBUXUBu: must have some weird chip then, glad its going well [04:27] ActionParsnip, but my problem was in 11.10 too, so i tried precise [04:27] i can honestly say it looks better than vista and it rivals 7 and i think its better than w8 [04:28] kpow: then your release is suported in #ubuntu+1 only until release day [04:28] anyone awake atm? [04:29] ani123: sadly [04:29] having some troubles installing 11.10 from usb [04:29] was wondering if anyone has had the same troubles [04:30] ani123: what is the issue? [04:30] booting from usb results in a timeout killing error [04:30] everytime [04:30] can't seem to find a solution searching online [04:32] its goes with something like: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv [04:32] pci [04:32] hi all [04:32] hi [04:33] i'm new with ubuntu [04:33] and want to master it as a system administrator [04:33] where should i begin ? [04:33] ani123: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the USB? [04:33] whats the correct hash? [04:33] revskill_: using the OS helps [04:33] revskill_, help.ubuntu.com is a good place [04:33] !hashes | ani123 [04:33] ani123: See http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/11.10/MD5SUMS for the md5sums of the latest Ubuntu release [04:34] thanks, checking [04:34] !manual | revskill_ [04:34] revskill_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [04:34] in the process of downloading a fresh copy, hope it works, should find out in the next 10 min [04:35] action, lets say the hash matches, and I still get the same problem? [04:35] is there any difference between usb and cd boot? [04:35] My job is dealing with setting up Virtual Machines with Ubuntu LTS to serve Ruby on Rails application [04:35] anil123, both are the same, except the face that usb install is much faster [04:36] thanks mi3 [04:36] and your BIOS should support boot from usb ani123 [04:36] thats no problem i have that [04:36] ani123: Did the iso you already have match one of those from http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/11.10/MD5SUMS ? [04:36] current running the Z68XP-ud4 Rev1.0 from gigabyte [04:37] anil123, g2k [04:37] i deleted the old iso, dowloading a fresh one now [04:38] Hello, is anyone having issues with select-editor in ubuntu 11.10 [04:39] ani123: There are differences, but these differences usually don't matter. For instance, *very* old BIOSs often don't support booting from USB, Apple's firmware has bugs with USB booting when using their BIOS implementation, and if for some reason the drivers in linux don't support your USB hardware you may be able to boot via CD but not via USB. [04:39] I'm setting select-edtior to vim as I'm familiar wtih it [04:39] But when I run visudo it uses nano anwyay :/ [04:40] thanks [04:40] i have usb3 ports [04:40] will that affect the installation? [04:40] I installed Ubuntu but whenever it loads it complains about not being able to execute /bin/crypt or something. Has the installation failed? [04:40] y [04:40] Jordan_U: there is a cheeky floppy image to then boot USB :) [04:41] ln [04:41] Somebody knows WebAlizer? I have all my virtual host logs in the same log file... for the last year... In the file I see each request for wich domain. Is it possible to process it and see trafic for different virtual host even if my logs aren't on different files? [04:41] Hi. I'm a noob, and I need someone to hold my hand through some very obvious stuff :P === trevor is now known as Guest95674 [04:42] Hello? [04:42] anyone? [04:43] nicmcginnis: on this channel, it's best just to ask about a specific problem [04:43] nicmcginnis: if anyone can help, they will. [04:43] !ask | nicmcginnis [04:43] nicmcginnis: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:43] lisa_: did you do anything like full disk encryption? [04:43] ani123: While recent versions of Ubuntu do support USB 3.0, you may be more likely to run into driver problems with USB 3.0 hardware. [04:43] Okay, thanks. I'm trying to edit limits.conf to get jack audio working, but it tells me I am not the owner of the file and I can't change permissions from read only. [04:44] Sorry for any breaches of etiquette. I am very, very, very new to all this. [04:44] nicmcginnis: OK, so do you have access to log in as root (admin) [04:44] hydrox24, no, i installed Desktop and selected to encrypt HOME [04:45] hydrox24, how can I know if HOME is encrypted?> [04:45] hydrox24: nicmcginnis: We don't support logging in as root here. [04:45] I guess so? I installed Ubuntu as an experiment from a CD and chose all the passwords, so I guess it means I should be able to do so. [04:45] how can I import a bookmark into firefox? [04:45] !sudo | nicmcginnis [04:45] nicmcginnis: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [04:46] I cant figure how or where I import a firefox bookmark. anyone know? [04:46] lisa_: That's a question for the firefox channel or the firefox forums. [04:46] Okay. So I guess I need to open a terminal window and run 'sudo'? [04:46] lisa_: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks [04:46] nicmcginnis: yes [04:46] that import feature occurs during the install but doesnt work very well [04:46] but run "sudo COMMAND" [04:47] hydrox24, when I go into "Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks (or Show all Bookmarks)-> I dont see any Import and Backup. how come? [04:48] I see. So I want to edit a file. I'm used to GUIs, not command-line stuff. What command do I need to use to do this? (Sorry again. I am literally just trying to do OSS after a decade in windows.) [04:49] lisa_: not sure, but as I said, you need to ask the firefox channel or mozilla about this. [04:50] nicmcginnis: nano is the best basic CMD text-editor, but you can use a GUI text editor, just type "gedit FILE" [04:50] hydrox24, nobody is there talking [04:51] Hydrox24: ...okay, I'm in. That worked! [04:51] i cant believe this, ubuntu firefox has forgotten to include IMPORTING BOOKMARKS :( [04:51] Hydrox24: Is there a way to do this from the desktop? [04:52] @lisa_ you can save your bookmarks to cloud now. pretty epic [04:53] lisa_: is it not just bookmarks.html ? [04:53] lisa_: replace the current with the old.. [04:53] ActionParsnip, there is no Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup option, why? [04:53] how can Ubuntu firefox forget that? [04:53] lisa_: no idea, i dropped firefox ages ago [04:53] How do you set visudo to work with vim instead of nano on ubuntu 11.10? [04:53] when I go to Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks , there is no Import [04:54] ActionParsnip, which browser you using?> [04:54] Hydrox24: Okay, well, I need to reboot to see if that did anything (I'm trying to get JACK audio to work. I have no idea what it even is, but I'm following instructions.) [04:54] jay_zawrotny: export EDITOR=vim [04:55] lisa_: chomium and arora [04:55] *chromium [04:55] ActionParsnip, why chomium and arora and not firefox? [04:56] ActionParsnip: Thanks! I set it in my bash settings but I guess I have to do it locally from a terminal session for it to work. [04:56] * aking1012 uses both chromium and firefox ... firefox is pushing firefox sync. that's why no import/export though [04:56] lisa_: firefox crashes like a test dummy and chews ram like a fat kid at a free pie carnival. imho its a poor browser [04:56] I have another major problem.. I had 2GB of files on my Desktop and they just DISAPPEARED! Help??? [04:57] jay_zawrotny: add it in ~/.bashrc [04:57] lisa_: if you open a terminal and run: ls ~/Desktop are they there? [04:57] ActionParsnip, how do I install chomium and arora? === hermy is now known as hermy|away [04:57] ActionParsnip, they came back when I clicked on Home Folder [04:57] lisa_: use software centre like any other application you want to install [04:58] lisa_: yes, nautilus draws the desktop items, it crashed but when you ran nautilus it obviously restarted it for you [04:58] ActionParsnip, can chomium and arora import a .json firefox bookmark? [04:58] lisa_: why do you not have a BACKUP of these 2Gb of files???? [04:58] how often does it crash? I thought ubuntu was stable? [04:58] >.< [04:58] ActionParsnip, I do [04:59] lisa_: no idea, i've never had to use firefox like that [04:59] lisa_: no OS is 100% stable [04:59] lisa_: as the song goes: every OS sucks [04:59] I've never had BSD crash...but it lacks a LOT of features [05:00] ActionParsnip, which browser is safest and most compatible with Banking websites? [05:00] ActionParsnip, im just surprised, its a brand new Ubuntu install and its crashing :( [05:01] lisa_: they will all obey the standards, so will be finer [05:01] ActionParsnip, its giving some crypt error too when Ubuntu loads! No idea why, its a brand new Deskop install [05:01] lisa_: get the install updated if its a new install [05:02] ActionParsnip, i did update it, it was then the crypt error message appeared [05:02] ActionParsnip, advice? [05:02] ActionParsnip, how can I tell if HOME is encrypted? === EoN` is now known as EoN [05:03] lisa_: its a concious choice at install time [05:05] i installed some software but how do I access the software? Where is it? [05:07] lisa_: /usr/bin/ ? or /usr/sbin/ === DouglasA is now known as DouglasA` === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [05:08] hello I recently installed 11.10 as a virtualbox guest vm. I have a dual core AMD 7850 but for some reason Ubuntu wont recognize both cores. ACPI is enabled in my bios. Anyone have any thoughts? [05:09] Lax: look in the settings, there's an option for how many cores to use. [05:09] lisa_: use the dash, click the ubuntu logo in the top left [05:09] im disappointed, neither firefox nor chromium or auora can import my firefox bookmark saved from Windows 7 :( no good [05:09] MrHanjrah, ill look when I reboot [05:09] ActionParsnip, ok [05:10] lisa_, did you sign up for the the firefox cloud? [05:10] lisa_: firefox can export to more formats than .json [05:10] just import it in an old version of firefox, sync it with firefox sync, and be done with it [05:10] wylde, but the problem is that Ubuntu firefox doesnt show any IMPORT command anywhere in firefox [05:10] aking1012, how? [05:10] its cause Firefox doesnt need it anymore cause people use the Firefox Sync services [05:11] ssfdre38, so tell me pls.. how can I import my Windiws 7 Firefox bookmark into Ubuntu firefox? [05:11] old firefox binaries are readily available for windows...just run one of those in wine like you're used to from windows. [05:11] wylde: Thanks. Im new, so open settings and go to "System Info"? [05:11] lisa_: what version of firefox are you using... [05:11] lisa_, did you sign up for the firefox sync services? [05:11] wylde, on W7? [05:11] lisa_: open the file in a text file and you will see URLS, go to each one in turn and add them as bookmarks [05:12] ssfdre38, no, what is it and is it free and secure? [05:12] ActionParsnip, but I got 100+ bookmarks, that will take hours :( [05:12] its part of firefox it self and what firefox version are you using on your Windows 7 system [05:12] Lax you know the area where you set up the virtual machine? I'm going from memory, here. Look for a tab related to processor, there will be an option for the number of cores to use. [05:12] ssfdre38, the latest [05:12] lisa_: on Ubuntu [05:13] wylde: Thanks, Ill check it out [05:13] lisa_: it may get to that [05:13] wylde, the latest on ubuntu too,. just installed it today [05:13] firefox 11 then? [05:13] wylde, firefox 11.0 [05:13] lisa_: import the file to win7, sync to the web then sync back to the ubuntu system [05:13] lisa_, go to Tools > Set up sync so then this way you can sync your Firefox in your Ubuntu as well on your Windows so you dont loose anything [05:13] wylde, Ubuntu firefox doesnt show any IMPORT command anywhere in firefox [05:14] ssfdre38, i doint understand [05:14] lisa_: click on bookmarks > show all bookmarks > 3 rd button from left should be import. [05:14] err Import and Backup [05:15] its so you can sync your fav, history and all your settings from your windows to your ubuntu firefox without dealing with anything [05:16] im sorry everyone, ubuntu firefox does have IMPORT, it was in a hidden top menu that I didnt see until I placed mouse over it [05:16] i apologize [05:16] lisa_: no worries :) [05:16] wylde, yes I see it now in main top menu which was hidden [05:16] :) [05:16] im blonde lol [05:16] and new to ubuntu [05:16] 1st day [05:17] stop and just follow what i said to do so you dont need to import anything cause i use the Firefox Sync services so just go to Tools > Set Up Sync in your Firefox browser [05:17] ssfdre38, how would it know the bookmark from W7 firefox? [05:17] lisa_: it takes some getting used to :) In a couple weeks regular use it'll get much easier ;) [05:17] wylde, :) [05:18] lisa_, cause it using the same browser and i do use it and it works just fine [05:18] ssfdre38, ok but its cool now it imported the .json file [05:19] lisa_: now, use the cloud sync. Its a lot easier [05:19] lisa_: although archive the file itself just in case :) [05:19] may I ask you guys something.. i used Rainlendar on W7 and want to use it on Ubuntu. is it safe to install? [05:19] it will keep both your firefox browsers on both systems up to date with your info [05:19] ActionParsnip, ok [05:19] ssfdre38, sounds good :) [05:20] i use it as a backup for my browser [05:20] lisa_: sure, there are linux versions of the app [05:21] how do I add an app to the left menu? [05:21] ActionParsnip, ok :) [05:21] lisa_: click and drag it there [05:21] lisa_: wget http://www.rainlendar.info/download/rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_i386.deb; rm ./rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [05:21] ActionParsnip, excellent cause I cant live without Rainlendar :) [05:22] ActionParsnip, do I just copy and paste that command somewhere? [05:22] wylde, ahh drag cool [05:22] lisa_: yes, that whole command wil install rainlender for you (I assume 32bit Ubuntu) [05:23] ActionParsnip, i installed 64 bit Ubuntu [05:23] ActionParsnip, is there a 64 bit version? [05:23] lisa_: not that I think ActionParsnip would do anything hostile, just saying to be careful copying and pasting commands into the terminal if you don't know what they do. Be careful with ANY commands using sudo [05:23] lisa_: wget http://www.rainlendar.info/download/rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_amd64.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_amd64.deb; rm ./rainlendar2-lite_2.9.b111-1_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [05:24] wylde, what is sudo? the command line window? how I open it? [05:24] its ok i found it :) [05:24] lisa_: sudo is how you perform admin tasks, its like the 'run as admin' in windows (blatant ripoff, they even tried to patent it) [05:24] im impressed with ubuntus download center etc [05:25] ActionParsnip, i willl go read some intro docs to ubuntu [05:25] lisa_: sudo give the program/command you launched with it root permissions. Meaning whatever command got pasted in to terminal could seriously damage your ubuntu installation or cause you to lose your data [05:25] lisa_: just installed it myself, gonna give it a whirl [05:25] lisa_: rainlender [05:26] do i need to install noscript on firefox like in Windows? or is ubuntu secure so I dont need to worry about scripts on websites downloading a nasty virus or malware? [05:26] pretty much yeah [05:26] ActionParsnip, i cant live without rainlender, its soo good [05:26] ubuntu is WAY more secure than windows is as far as that stuff, lisa_ [05:27] Nach0z, cool :) so I dont need to install any firewall and antivirus and antimalware apps? [05:27] lisa_: no AV needed, you can configure the firewall if you don't use a router [05:27] how can I clean out the cache, someone mentioned blitz or somerhing? [05:27] ActionParsnip, how can I congifure firewall? [05:28] ActionParsnip, you will end up loving rainlender :) I never forgot appointments or things I need to do anymore :) hehe [05:28] !firewall [05:28] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [05:28] I am trying to kill a process but it just won't die... [05:29] i'm doing pidof sockd [05:29] it gives me 7 PIDs [05:29] i try killing them but new ones just popup [05:29] Hi friends, Is there any way to block websites on ubuntu? apart from editing /etc/hosts? [05:29] kill the father [05:29] ActionParsnip, i went to rainlender website and it even detects that im using 64 bit and offers me to dl the 64 bit rainlender :) cool eh? :) [05:29] astropirate: you can 'sudo killall sockd' [05:29] c2tarun: could use firewall to block sites. I'd use hosts personally [05:29] kpow, how do i know which one that is.. I did kill PID1 PID2 PID3... and it didnt' work [05:30] wylde, even with that its still there [05:30] but with new PIDs all of them [05:30] hmmm [05:31] ActionParsnip, Can you please tell me something more about it? or any place where I can find something about it? [05:31] does the alternate installer's "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" use LUKS or plain dm-crypt? [05:31] wylde, nvm i just rebooted it [05:31] astropirate: alrighty [05:31] tnx both!! [05:31] c2tarun: the links ubottu gave are all I know [05:31] !firewall [05:31] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[05:32] Hi. I'm trying to run a 32-bit application by chrooting to a mounted vmware disk with ubuntu 10.04 x86 on it, but when I try to run it I get No protocol specified. gens:0:init(): Could not initialize GTK+.No protocol specified [05:37] hi all [05:43] Good morning. I just wanted to ask if the compiz config settings manger visual effects of ubuntu 10.04 can be installed in ubuntu 11.10? [05:45] jasonJ: you just need to install the package [05:46] jasonJ: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:46] or use the software center [05:47] jasonJ: Thank, I shall do it now. Is it possible to extract the settings of ubuntu 10.04 compizconfing manager and insert them into ubuntu 11.10's manager ? [05:47] totesmuhgoats: ^^ [05:48] jasonJ: i am not too familiar with compiz to be honest. most programs in linux store their settings in a folder in your home directory that begins with a . [05:48] that is basically the equivalent of a "hidden" folder in windows [05:48] Question for you guys. I have an old Dell server running 10.04 with a 300gb hard drive. I am trying to clone the 300gb hard drive to a 2tb hard drive. I have read to use the Ubuntu live CD and use dd command. However, it will not boot up the ubuntu live install dvd. So I booted up to the 10.04 hard drive and started the dd command without the disk. is this going to be a problem? or will it still clone while booted up and mounted? [05:48] some programs might store their settings in a folder called .config or something similar if they are related to another program [05:49] if you find something compiz related you can just copy it to the other pc [05:49] if it doesn't work just delete it, the next time the program runs it will recreate a working one [05:50] J-Escobar: I would suggest you use clonezilla [05:50] it is a livecd that does exactly what you want [05:50] totesmuhgoats: Sorry, begins with a -what? :( [05:50] and it will pass all the needed arguments to make the process as pain free as possible [05:50] jasonJ: a . (period) [05:50] jasonJ: in a terminal type 'ls' and hit return [05:50] you will see a file listing [05:51] then type 'ls -a' and hit return [05:51] ls -a will include hidden files and directories [05:51] this time you will see "hidden files" they all have names that begin with a period [05:51] hi [05:51] totesmuhgoats: Oh okay, thank you much! :) [05:52] hello,everyone,where am i? [05:52] hello can someone please help me hear. I have a triple boot system with ubuntu 11:10,lm 10 & win7... I updated grub today and I am now missing my option to boot into window 7? [05:53] jasonJ: keep in mind, i don't know if that is where compiz stores its settings, but it is where most programs store their settings [05:54] actually i apparently do have compiz installed [05:54] and the settings are in .config/compiz [05:54] i also have a .config/compiz-1 [05:54] no idea what that's about [05:54] GhostConn: I once got that same problem. One ubuntu blog gave this command to run in Terminal "sudo update-grub" and it added windows option to boot menu. Try it once? [05:55] hi, what is the LinuxMCE? [05:55] ill try? ..lol [05:55] it did not find a widnows mrb [05:55] mbr** [05:56] totesmuhgoats: thank you for the support. Have a nice day!

[07:19] GhostConn, If you don't see this menu, it means the installation didn't do what it should have. Try pressing Shift a little after your computer starts, before the BIOS finishes initializing. This will show the menu. [07:19] Within Ubuntu, you can configure the bootloader by editing /etc/default/grub. The settings are documented on the Ubuntu website. Back up the original file and don't change anything you don't understand. You need to run the update-grub command for the settings to take effect.

[07:58] nope, i just see one very quick line of text thats like "starting grub" [07:59] and then the monitor wont sync [08:00] i wouldnt mind reinstalling but dont remember any options regarding the grub resolution [08:01] testuser99: Why are you trying to mount sda1 anywhere? Can you boot into single user mode and follow the directions I gave? [08:01] Hello there. I am running Debian LXDE on a Virtual Machine. Just installed it. Is there a way to remove the left column on XChat? [08:02] i can only network boot it [08:02] I'm looking for a tutorial/howto about theme creation; searching has so far yielded only bits and pieces. I'm really just looking for a way to make icons/UI elements bigger so I can *see* them without a magnifying glass. Heh. [08:02] Poindexter_ have you tried to go into options? [08:02] Looked there. Couldn't find it. I will look again. [08:03] testuser99: Can you create a file /boot/grub/custom.cfg containing only "terminal_output console"? [08:03] HI [08:03] Jordan_U: I'm not sure how i can create that [08:03] i suppose i could try to login blindly and 'touch' it [08:03] I cannot believe how fast Debian LXDE works with Virtual Box by Oracle. [08:04] testuser99: So you basically have no way currently to access files on the hard drive. Correct? [08:04] right [08:04] beata most resources for linux UI's are raw png's [08:05] i guess it started up [08:05] i can ping it [08:05] but ssh is not running [08:05] I've just succesfully installed a wireless driver (a lot of trouble), but now when I reboot my laptop I first have to deactivate and reactivate it before it actually works. Any help on that? [08:06] testuser99: OK. Then let's just blindly try to interact with grub :). Hold shift during boot and wait until after you see the grub loading and the monitor complains about the resolution. At that point press "c" (which will get you to a grub shell) then type "terminal_output console" and hit enter. If you're lucky and an accurate typist you should be able to see the grub shell at that point, and return to the menu by pressing escape. [08:07] haha alright i will reboot and try holding shift [08:07] Kristof_D write script with de/activate commands and put it in autostart? === beboj_ is now known as beboj [08:09] Crowler, well, hadn't thought of that. I'll try that if nobody knows of a cleaner way. [08:10] Kristof_D write this world is not perfect, especially when it comes to win-NIC in linux [08:10] how is a script not clean? [08:10] Jordan_U: still nothing, hah [08:11] Crowler: Beg to differ? The theme files I'm looking at are mostly complicated text files with what appear to be drawing commands, for which I have yet to find documentation. Admittedly, I have managed to puzzle out a little bit, but it's still Klingon to me, and some of the snippets I've googled up don't seem to do anything. [08:12] can anyone give me a hint why I m getting this message back in terminal when trying to start Users & Groups managmenet to edit users: http://pastebin.com/iuTxsQyk (sry, bothed url in other one) [08:12] beata i bet its not klingon, but XML [08:12] i wonder if i should try and netboot again and just try and overwrite the mbr with lilo [08:13] Hehe.

[08:16] Is anyone using xchat with SASL? [08:17] testuser99: Try pressing escape to get back to the grub menu. [08:17] * Crowler never bothered to add any script to xchat [08:17] k, i am at the menu! [08:18] __Alex_: This time I got this back from terminal: http://pastebin.com/xL386h1H [08:18] ibus [08:19] Jordan_U: is terminal_output command persistant? [08:19] is the* [08:19] *sighs* - why o lord is everything so impossible [08:19] testuser99: No, you'll need to do the modification of /etc/default/grub and then run "sudo update-grub" to make a persistant change. [08:20] Jordan_U: k, should i bother booting it, or can i do that through grub? [08:22] testuser99: You need to do this from a booted system. Grub doesn't ever write to disk (*except to /boot/grub/grubenv but only because it is pre-allocated and thus can be easily determined to be safe). [08:22] if anyone got a moment to spare, I m curious as to why I have NO access to alter settings/move around icons on desktop, make persistent changes in system tools etc. I ve set up my system according to this tutorial: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Configure-the-server/Install-VNC.html [08:23] SilfenX because ubuntu made "foolproof" [08:24] oh, is there a way around 'foolproof'? [08:25] sure there is, if you not afraid to experiment === adante_ is now known as adante [08:25] I can't seem to find the shell commands to activate/deactivate proprietary hardware drivers. Anyone who knows 'em by heart? [08:25] no I m not, only thing that bother me really is I dont know how, even where to begin. Maybe change distro alltogether? [08:26] SilfenX i doubt you'll find more freedom in any modern package based distro [08:26] hi,all, when I installed ibus-qt-1.3.1-source, I have got error "qibusbus.cpp:11: fatal error: dbus/dbus.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.", if you have the same err,pls let me know ? [08:28] hi! [08:28] Crowler: sitting down at the actual machine running ubuntu, the screen only shows a terminal prompt while if I access it via VNC from my windows machine, I get a very basic looking gnome desktopthingamajingy [08:28] how can i disable the boot splas screen? [08:28] i just want to see what's going on on console level [08:28] is it the vnc session in itself that prohibits me from full access? [08:29] Kristof_D first find what package you use for drivers [08:29] could I instance the vnc session with elevated access rights somehow? [08:29] SilfenX alt+f7? [08:30] SilfenX stock vnc is "foolproof" too [08:30] well, i got it booted, but now stuck at a blinking _ [08:36] klawd you have to edit grub config file [08:36] klawd or press esc at boot time [08:37] i tried with the grub config file [08:37] but it seems to not have worked, i use wubi [08:38] is it that things that boots linux from windows? [08:39] <__Alex_> Crowler: Yes [08:39] Crowler: alt+f7 on ubuntu machine gives a bunch of text, ending with 'The vnc HOME variable is not set' [08:40] i only heard about wubi, but neer actually used it [08:41] SilfenX stock vnc doesnt allow you to connect to your established linux session [08:41] from the grub> prompt, can i tell ubuntu to only use console output? [08:42] SilfenX so if you connect via vnc, you get logged out from gui locally [08:42] Crowler: ok. Since you say 'stock vnc', I assume there is something else out there might let me do that? [08:42] klawd: remove quiet and splash from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub then do a 'sudo update-grub' [08:42] SilfenX there is [08:43] SilfenX try some derivatives, like tightvnc [08:43] Crowler: this setup is based on ubuntu server 10.04 and has only got gnome-core installed [08:44] Crowler: just to prevent it from running a heavy local gui which I really dont need if I can get this to work properly. It s meant to sit healdess in a closet [08:44] when i run uname -r and get 2.6.32-342-ec2 … is that the latest kernel? [08:45] or do i need to run apt-get install linux-…3.0.16 etc? [08:45] Crowler: the vncserver I m running now I think is called vnc4server/x11? [08:46] SilfenX try some lightweight UI, but they usually ugly, outdated and you have to configure them by manually editing config files [08:47] blendedbychris dont bother. 3.xx is just a name [08:48] Crowler: watcha mean? [08:48] i upgrade from lts to ocelot … just making sure i don't need to change grub or install an update kernel [08:49] blendedbychris dont bother. 3.xx was released as a jubilee edition. 20 years of linux [08:49] blendedbychris no new functionality or serious improvements were made [08:49] hrm [08:49] hellooooo [08:52] well my mind is thoroughly baffled [08:52] so i'm done [08:53] ?

[09:06] lisa what do you wish to stop starting as some programs are not in the settings manager [09:07] lisa_, gedit [09:07] that's done, moreover, on another win7 machine, running wamp(lamp for win) i can connect from outside, on the same router [09:07] Seveas, I typed this command earlier, . mkdir ~/.config/autostart; cd ~/.config/autostart; ln -s /usr/share/applications/rainlendar2.desktop . [09:07] Seveas, so now Rainlendar starts auto [09:07] lisa_, in that case: rm ~/.config/autostart/rainlendar2.desktop [09:07] lisa nano can do tabs too! and its a terminal editor [09:07] Seveas, ty :) [09:07] lisa:mc [09:07] rileyp, ok ill try gedit first and then see [09:08] if you want terminal editors with tabs: vim [09:08] but that's not suitable for new users :) [09:08] novim or vi they are both evil [09:09] vim is awesome. But has a learning "curve" that's almost vertical :) [09:09] Seveas, gedit didnt work, i forgot to mention the files are .rtf [09:09] gedit says it cannot open the rtf files [09:09] rileyp, http://bc.tech.coop/blog/images/curves.jpg [09:09] seveas no vim or vi they are both pure evil ...lol [09:09] not that theyre really evil. they just dont reflect on hardware platform they were ported to [09:09] lisa_, hmm yes, that would be important to mention :) [09:10] doesn't abiword do tabs these days? I know openoffice doesn't... [09:10] Seveas, hehe. so what can I do now? [09:10] try abiword :) [09:10] no guarantees about tabs though, haven't used it in ages [09:10] Crowler: i have install pythhon-samba but still it is not working? [09:11] installing abiword now [09:11] Seveas, surely there must be a text editor I can use that supports multiple tabs? [09:12] haftish usually in package based distros there are so called "task" packages [09:12] anyone know if I can see all windows open? [09:12] haftish try to look for "filesharing" [09:12] lisa_, text editor yes, rtf is not text, it's a marked up document [09:13] Seveas, I want a way to colour text and make bold etc and support multiple tabs. [09:13] lisa_, I understand :) I'm just not sure there is something that does both [09:13] lisa_ to see all windows running in Ubuntu press the Win key and W [09:13] lisa_: scite can do it all. [09:14] Crowler: then i find that filesharing i make it enable [09:14] bastidrazor, scite does rtf? [09:14] Abiword doesnt support tabs :( [09:14] haftish uhum. it should bring all that is needed as dependencies [09:14] whats the best gnucash replacement? [09:15] lisa_, gedit supports tabs [09:15] spych102, but not rtf [09:15] oh... [09:15] spych102, how can I see and switch between windows? [09:15] Seveas: yes rtf too [09:15] spych102, but gedit wouldnt open my rtf files :( [09:16] Crowler: i know that but let me tell you one thing iam not familar with ubuntu thats why iam asking such qoustion [09:16] lisa_, bastidrazor had a good suggestion there: scite apparently does rtf and tabs [09:16] bastidrazor, scite? ok i install now,. brb [09:16] haftish dont worry, it works same way everywhere [09:17] hey..sorry if i'm interrupting , I want to install python 2.5 on Ubuntu11.10..However apt-get says "package python2.5 has no installation candidate"..I've done update and upgrade . Could any one tell me how to handle the problem please.? [09:17] haftish you end up with lots of trash you'll never use, but you get everything working as a repay [09:17] lisa_ if you press the Windows Key + W it should show all windows and then you can , double click on the one you want. [09:17] !python [09:18] anwaya, 11.10 has a newer python already, why do you want the old version? [09:18] scite doesnt work :( it opened my rtf files all code like messy text [09:18] Crowler: still not [09:18] !info python [09:18] spych102, cool [09:18] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python [09:18] python (source: python-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.7.2-7ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 161 kB, installed size 768 kB [09:18] for a software development i'm trying to work on.. [09:19] anwaya, and why do you specifically need that older version? Anything that runs on 2.5 will run on 2.6 and 2.7 too [09:19] haftish if it still not working after installing "task" package, im out of ideas [09:19] bastidrazor, any other ideas...scite opened my rtf files, but the text looks like this: [09:19] Apparently not...This project specifically requires 2.5...:( [09:19] a [09:20] anwaya, try out virtualenv [09:20] anyone can help me about exploit web [09:20] ouch.. pressing window key + W crashed my ubuntu :( [09:20] it lets you create self-contained python environments so you don't have to install 2.5 globally-- that might break things [09:20] anwaya, that's a pain. You'll need to install from source into your homedir and keep that version well away from /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin so you don't upset ubuntu [09:20] anwaya, and yeah, what pglod said [09:21] Crowler: iam in pogress [09:21] Crowler: i will tell you when iam finish this one [09:21] k..Thanks a lot. [09:21] scite didnt work... when I open my rtf files all i see is this... {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang3081{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Courier New;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Courier New;}{\f2\froman\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}} [09:21] {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue255;} [09:21] {\*\generator PolyEdit 5.0.0.15.27014;}\viewkind4\uc1 [09:21] \pard\f0\fs20\par [09:21] lisa_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:22] anyone know of a text editor which supports multiple tabs + rtf files? [09:22] lisa_: What is a rtf file? [09:22] lisa_, ah, so bastidrazor was technically correct but useless :) You're now seeing the source of the rtf file [09:22] Crowler: still it is not working?> [09:23] lisa_ wine+office [09:23] lisa_: have understanding of linux ur getting specific [09:23] <__Alex_> JelloPop: Rich text format iirc [09:23] lisa_ or wordpad [09:23] __Alex_, correct :) [09:23] __Alex_: is this supported in linux last time I checked it was a ways off [09:23] it doesnt support making text bold or colored either [09:24] so im back to square one :LP [09:24] JelloPop, oh, openoffice and abiword can read it just fine. But neither do documents-in-tabs, which is the feature lisa_ is looking for :) [09:24] Seveas, i wonder why nobody created a text editor for Ubuntu that supports multipe tabs and ability to make text colored or bold. many such programs in windows but none on Linux? [09:25] haftish sometimes services do not start automatically. either start them manually or reboot [09:25] Seveas: what about printing text in this format?? [09:25] lisa_, well, linux people like their multi-window applications more I guess [09:25] JelloPop, its my first day, i only installed ubuntu today:) [09:25] lisa_ rtf is windows format [09:25] Crowler: thanks it works now [09:25] i really need to find a text editor that does what I need. [09:25] JelloPop, works A-ok [09:26] Seveas, one may exist but we dont know which one :P [09:26] Crowler: thank you so much [09:26] haftish np === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [09:26] lisa_, indeed :) [09:26] Seveas: lots of advance since 97 sorry last time I had to deal with college homework and a windows network printer.. lol [09:27] JelloPop, rofl :) [09:27] lisa_, have you tried TEA Text Editor? [09:27] spych102, tea can't write rtf [09:28] spych102, ill try it now... btw, can I press an icon on Ubuntu and it shows all programs open? [09:28] doh [09:28] so I then select which program? Alt+Tab is hurting my wrist lol [09:28] lisa_, windows_key + w [09:28] Seveas, I did Windows key + w, but Ubuntu crashed [09:29] hmm, that's not good. Which version? [09:29] and froze up [09:29] Seveas, i just installed today, 11.10 [09:29] maybe my video drivers? [09:29] I have an upstart script for Etherpad Lite, but it's not recognized (e.g. it's not listed when running "service --status-all"). Any idea's? [09:29] how can I install latest nvidia drivers? [09:29] I found 11.10 rather unreliable and quickly went to 12.04 [09:29] !nvidia | lisa_ [09:29] lisa_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [09:29] Seveas, 12.04 is out? [09:29] http://pastebin.com/CVQPtPkX [09:31] Lisa make sure you close down X server to install the drivers... [09:32] i wonder why Ubuntu website didnt offer me 12.04? [09:32] lisa_: because 12.04 is still beta [09:32] benzaldehyde, i dont understand [09:32] oCean, so 12.04 is better you say? [09:32] lisa_: no, 12.04 is beta, that means still testing. Not stable yet [09:32] no, he says its beta version [09:33] oCean, ok [09:33] lisa_, the developerment of FOSS softwre, inc. Ubuntu GNU/Linux, generally all done in the open [09:33] feature richer, but not done [09:33] thats normally what beta means [09:33] ok [09:33] so while you CAN install the very latest version, it isn't always a good idea, as it hasn't been testes as much [09:33] matt_symes_, you coming or goin? hehe [09:33] scientes, ok [09:33] and it isn't designed for general consumption, like some debugging stuff is turned on, that gets turned off in the final version [09:34] lisa_ trying to get a cloak [09:34] that said lisa_ , i am running 12.04 right now [09:34] Rejo, that script looks reasonable to me (though I don't know upstart that well). [09:34] ill stick withh 11 :) [09:34] Rejo, but you've misread the 'service' manpage [09:34] service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. This option only calls status for sysvinit jobs, [09:34] upstart jobs can be queried in a similar manner with initctl list'. [09:34] you'll want initctl list I guess :) [09:35] is there a way to get a bar run across the bottom of screen which I can click on to open different programs that are running? [09:35] lisa_, in ubuntu that bar is at the left hand side and cannot be moved [09:35] lisa_, so its important to note that even though a version is released, it continues to change, with bug fixes and more imp. security updates [09:35] Seveas: If that is true, it's still not recognized as a service. [09:36] but no new features [09:36] Rejo, 'initctl list' doesn't show it? [09:36] hay, someone can helping me!!! [09:36] Seveas: Nope. [09:36] however, also take note, that the various programs that ubuntu packages are all on their own release cycles, so while some projects like GNOME are syncronized, other are not [09:36] Rejo, odd, Does 'telinit q' help? [09:36] Seveas: See: [09:36] root@trillian:/etc/init# initctl list |grep ether [09:36] root@trillian:/etc/init# ls *squid* [09:36] squid.conf [09:36] root@trillian:/etc/init# ls *etherpad* [09:36] etherpad-lite.conf [09:36] Rejo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:36] Seveas, for example I now run xchat, which takes up the whole screen. I dont even see the left bar. Whats an easy way to switch between program? besides Win key + W? [09:36] like in ubuntu, universe packages from debian can be buggy and out of date [09:37] esp with LTS releases [09:37] lisa_, metacity --replace [09:37] lisa alt+tab [09:37] Seveas: So, the file is there, but it just doesn't seem to be recognized. [09:37] Rejo, root-owned, mode 644? [09:37] lisa_, or if you can only get a terminal in a console (ctlr-alt-f1), DESKTOP=:0 metacity --replace [09:37] ...... [09:37] im installing nvidia drivers, maybe that will fix the Win key + W [09:37] Seveas: [09:38] Rejo shouldnt it be made executable? [09:38] scientes, whats metacity --replace? [09:38] Yes. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root [09:38] lisa_, yes the nvidia drivers should do the trick [09:38] Crowler: Nope. [09:38] ...... [09:38] lisa_, if you window management crashes for some reason [09:38] Crowler: Sure about that. [09:38] hay [09:38] It's not a file that is executable, it's read by upstart proceses [09:38] if ubuntu crashes and nothing seems to work.. instead of having to turn of laptop power button, what can I do? [09:38] lisa_, like if you cant select windows, but buttons still work, try either compiz --replace, or metacity --replace [09:38] Rejo, all I can think of then is a syntax error. Didn't see one though. Anything in the logfiles after telinit q that indicates it has tried to read it? [09:39] lisa ctrl+alt_f1 [09:39] scientes, but nothing works, frozen screen, happened 3 times today [09:39] lisa_, you can go to console (ctrl-alt-f1) and /etc/init.d/lightdm restart [09:39] rileyp, ok ill try ctrl+alt_f1 if it happens again [09:39] Seveas: Good thing. [09:39] Mar 25 11:39:16 trillian init: /etc/init/etherpad-lite.conf:32: Unterminated quoted string [09:39] lisa ctrl+alt+f1 sorry [09:39] That is the problem most likely! [09:39] Rejo, ah! [09:39] lisa_, can you paste lspci here paste.ubuntu.com [09:39] Seveas: Thanks! [09:39] rileyp, you said ctrl+alt_f1 :) [09:40] lisa_, &**output of "lspci" in console [09:40] Rejo: your author line misses the closing " [09:40] lisa and the a sudo reboot should get you rolling again [09:40] de nada. Glad I could do something for someone who's doing so much for us :) [09:40] nono, /etc/init.d/lightdm is enought for most crashes [09:40] ok ubuntu says I need to restart tgo activate nvidia [09:40] brb [09:40] *the then [09:40] Ooo.... [09:40] */etc/init.d/lightdm restart [09:41] lisa you can do a alt + printscreen +k to restart the gdm [09:41] lisa rather than a reboot [09:41] rileyp, no you cant [09:41] ...... [09:41] rizal: is the channel suppose to guess your question? [09:41] rileyp, that just triggers the OOM killer, its totally wrong to suggest that [09:41] bastidrazor : yes [09:41] rileyp, ctrl-alt-backspace use to work, but ubuntu doesn't enable that anymore [09:41] oh ok i thought it restarted x [09:42] *ctrl-shift-backspace [09:42] rizal: 23 is your answer. best of luck. [09:42] rileyp, i've been learning that that is a common misunderstanding, which is very unfourtunate [09:42] oCean, Seveas: fixed the typo, still there is another problem, but i'll try to figure that one out myself - thanks for all the help [09:42] good to learn these things! [09:42] thnaks [09:42] * scientes will keep trying to undo that myth... [09:42] bastidrazor : can you help me!!! [09:42] soreau: i found a package for specific area recording [09:43] rizal: state your question to the channel. if someone knows the solution they will answer [09:43] i pressed ctrl+alt+f1 and got stuck, didnt know how to get out of it [09:43] the OOM killer generally kills firefox when it goes off on me.... [09:43] scientes: rileyp: alt+sysrq+k kills whatever is on the current VT. If X is on the current VT then X will be killed, returning you to GDM/LightDM/FooDM/. [09:43] what am supposed to type in ctrl+alt+f1 ? [09:43] Jordan_U, that is TOTALLY wrong [09:43] scientes: I used to use sudo service gdm restart is thre a new command I can use to stop start or restart the gdm (i use xfce4) [09:44] lisa_, try ctrl+alt+f7 [09:44] bastidrazor : OK [09:44] rileyp, service lightdm restart [09:44] trying to use an ubuntu server as gateway, unable to resolve hostnames when connected straight to modem? [09:44] if my ubuntu freezes and i press ctrl+alt+f1 , what do I type? [09:44] but can ping modem ip [09:44] geek0091, use pppoeconf package [09:44] scientes: can I use service lghtdm stop as well? [09:44] lisa_, you log in with your username and packge [09:45] Wow what a night :) [09:45] when I installed ubuntu I chose to encrypt HOME. How can I double check that its actually encrypted? [09:45] regardless of X, the video driver itself have to be loaded and started first [09:45] rileyp, yeah, its just that ubuntu switched from gdm to lightdm [09:45] scientes, I did but it just went back to a CLI [09:45] scientes: want to use raw /etc/network/interfaces config? [09:45] lisa_: log in as another user and try and peek in your home directory [09:45] lisa_, create another user. Log out, log in as that user. Try to access *your* homedirectory [09:45] lisa_, "mount" command, will show ecryptfs, otherwise log in as root and check that way [09:45] geek0091, pppoeconf uses that [09:45] im confused :P [09:45] scientes: Why do you claim that it's wrong? [09:45] scientes, ok brb [09:45] geek0091, it just helps autoconfigure interfaces [09:46] scientes: is it in default install of server edit.? [09:46] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [09:46] lisa_, 'mount' should show a line like this: /home/dennis/.Private on /home/dennis type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_check_dev_ruid,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs,ecryptfs_sig=...,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=...) [09:46] Jordan_U, oh sorry [09:46] lisa you can use any command you want eg sudo reboot or sudo shutdown -h now or ls or cd or dmesg or whatever [09:46] lisa_ hope you backed up all your stuff somewhere safe... [09:46] Seveas, yes I see something like that [09:47] lisa_, then your stuff is encrypted [09:47] Crowler, i only installed Ubuntu today so I got nothing on there really yet [09:47] whats the best gnucash alternative [09:47] lisa_, with ecryptfs [09:47] scientes: thanks fro the tip Ive wanted to know for quite a while... [09:47] lotuspsychje, gnucash [09:47] oO [09:47] all i need now is to find a mulie tab text editor that supports colour text and bold etc [09:47] multie [09:47] rileyp, REISUB, is there generally suggested order on hard lockup [09:48] ctrl-alt-sysrq-b is very useful [09:48] Im use linux gnacktrak, and wifi not support in my linux, can someone help me??? [09:48] !backtrack | rizal [09:48] rizal: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [09:48] lisa_: before u get to wild slow down and do clonezilla dont let people push u into a system crash! [09:48] rizal install ubuntu [09:48] can I convert rtf files to text files so I can try gedit? [09:48] rizal, pastebin lspci for me [09:49] JelloPop, where I get clonezilla? [09:49] rizal, its probably that you are missing propritary broadcom drivers [09:49] lisa_ you'll lose all formatting [09:49] nviodia drivers are installed, i wonder if Window key + w will crash.. too scared to try hehe [09:49] lisa_, open rtf with LibreOffice [09:50] lisa_: wants to know how to back up system with clonzilla [09:50] lisa_, it wont crash now [09:50] scientes, yes that works but LO dont support multie tabs [09:50] lisa_, fingers crossed... [09:50] lisa_, however with nvidia you loose the pretty ctrl-alt-f1-6 terminals [09:50] scientes, maybe I can open rtf in LO and save as text? [09:50] (called Kernel Mode Setting KMS) [09:50] lisa_, hmmm, maybe, but don't you want the formattting? [09:51] lisa_: stop and ask how to back up system not push forward.. this could be a mess [09:51] lisa_, you might be interested in !lyx [09:51] so many helpers... [09:52] lisa_: You can use Libre Office to output to plain text, or use "unrtf". [09:52] Crowler, i guess its only like this (at all) on the weekend [09:52] .... [09:52] does gedit support doc? [09:52] JelloPop, ok [09:52] lisa_, gedit ONLY supports raw text [09:52] JelloPop,how? :) [09:52] lisa_, and since .doc is a binary format, no [09:52] lisa_, but .doc is very supported by LibreOffice [09:53] scientes, do you know any ubuntu text editor that supports multie tabs + colouring and bolding text? [09:53] JelloPop, clonezilla is best to backupo my ubuntu? [09:53] scientes: lisa_: I know gedit supports bold text and I think different text sizes, not sure what format it supports [09:54] sacarlson, can i colour text? [09:54] sacarlson, thats all about formatting flat source files, it doesn't read markup [09:54] lisa_: I'm not sure [09:54] lisa_: can I be bold and suggest something like VI/VIM? It has a huge learning curve though [09:54] *gvim* that is... [09:54] lisa_: here http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php [09:54] JelloPop, ok thanks [09:55] brb gone to backup :) [09:55] scientes: ya that markup thing is cool, you might be right [09:55] lisa_: No, I think it would be tricky to find an editor with tabs and in-format colouring, gedit can do syntax colouring, but the file is still plain text underneath. [09:56] again, try LyX [09:56] apt-get install lyx [09:56] Can anyone tell me why no one suggested backup fill system??? [09:56] you will end up with the prettiest documents you have ever seen [09:56] by the way , gedit doesnt do bold text [09:56] lisa_, ^ [09:56] gedit is NOT the tool [09:56] scientes, yep [09:57] my sound applet has bugged,now i cant change volume can someone help me? [09:57] LibreOffice is the standard WYSIWYG [09:57] and LyX is fundamentally differn't, buy way awesome [09:57] and i think makes more sense in most cases [09:57] JelloPop, so I burn clonezilla onto CD and boot CD and backup ubuntu? [09:57] scientes, i wish LibreOffice supported multi tab like gedit does [09:58] lisa_, what do you mean? [09:58] karamba restart it. if it doesnt help, restart sound server. if still no luck - reboot [09:58] lisa_: or usb drive... [09:58] lisa_, you can set indentations with the stuff in the top ruler [09:58] lisa_, just like in Word [09:58] karamba, can you move the slider? [09:58] scientes, multi tabs, i mean many different text files open at same time in different tabs [09:58] lisa_, ahhh, LyX supports that IIRC [09:58] JelloPop, ok ty [09:59] whats IIRC mean? [09:59] how do you reverse mount --bind? [09:59] If I Recall Correctly [09:59] lisa_: I was wrong you can't even do bolt or change font size in gedit, it was all an elusion [09:59] scientes, ah hehe [09:59] sacarlson, :) [09:59] bunny69, mount --bind doesn't have a reverse [09:59] lisa_ urbandictionary.com [09:59] ill try Lyx, brb [09:59] bunny69, do you mean umount(1) ? [09:59] !info lyx [09:59] lyx (source: lyx): document processor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1 (oneiric), package size 3933 kB, installed size 9904 kB [09:59] Hi. [10:00] bunny69: Just umount? [10:00] I'm having a problem with multiple screens. [10:00] I get this: http://imgur.com/qKXzt [10:00] And, I really don't know how to fix it. [10:00] Aster, thats because you have an old video card [10:00] prob ATI [10:00] I had it working under Windows (Eew.) But not under Ubuntu. [10:00] that only supports a certain max resolution [10:00] Nope. [10:00] bunny69: what does it mean to reverse mount --bind? [10:01] someone tell me how can i restart the sound applet to fix it [10:01] Aster, from what i've heard windows uses a hack to make it work [10:01] o.o [10:01] I would doubt that. [10:01] :P [10:01] oh wait, aS2 [10:01] Aster, 1600 seems wrong [10:01] the 1600 x 1600 itsaws [10:01] karamba exit it, or kill it, then start again [10:01] it would be somthing more binary, like 2048 or 4096 [10:02] Well, my lappy screen is 1600*900 or 900*1600 [10:02] apparently 2048 in this version [10:02] I dont know the name and the command [10:02] scientes thank you... it was a simple umount in fact... i just forgot completely :( [10:02] And my second screen is 1024*1280 [10:02] go get some more information Aster but i've heard of this problem before [10:02] on old ATI cards Aster [10:02] Well, this computer is a year old. [10:02] karamba get yourself some sort of task manager [10:02] Aster, its the COMBINED resolution, of both monitors [10:02] Aster, well then probably not [10:03] scientes, how can I get more info? [10:03] Aster, what driver? [10:03] karamba or man kill [10:03] How can I know what the drivers are? [10:03] Aster, lspci, pastebin it [10:03] Aster, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units [10:03] scientes: wont lspci -nn work?? for video car?? [10:03] for example [10:03] scientes, I type "lspci" into terminal? [10:04] quakenet [10:04] * Aster just saw his GPU has two additional drivers he hasn't installed yet. [10:04] karamba, unity --reset [10:04] it will take about 1 minute and look a bit weird at first [10:05] but it should do the trick [10:05] Aster, yes into terminal [10:05] Aster: Does it work if you use xrandr? [10:06] What's xrandr? [10:07] scientes, http://pastebin.com/HdbNc0pn [10:07] soreau: I thought that was for a single monitor?? [10:08] I dont have sound manager how to fix this please give more detailed information [10:08] Aster: Can you pastebin the output of xrandr -q? [10:08] JelloPop: xrandr is for all outputs [10:08] soreau: this is a dual monitor setup! [10:08] how big is Lyx? its takine ages [10:08] soreau: how does it read two monitors??? [10:09] soreau, http://pastebin.com/3np80CCQ [10:09] do I need Latex too? === p is now known as Guest37758 [10:09] lisa_, lyx will pull in latex, yes, and it is a bit big [10:09] Aster: You probably need to set a Virtual line in xorg.conf to increase the max size [10:10] soreau: pastebin explained that.. lol :) [10:10] soreau, how would I do that? Well, where can I find the file? [10:10] Aster: You're using fglrx? [10:10] http://punya-rizal.blogspot.com/ [10:10] What's fglrx? [10:10] D: [10:10] scientes, its huge, taking ages to dl [10:10] Aster: Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0,og [10:10] Aster: Pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:11] Jordan_U: scientes: rileyp: alt+sysrq+k kills whatever is on the current VT. If X is on the current VT then X will be killed, returning you to GDM/LightDM/FooDM/...................I dont have a sysrq button? [10:11] rileyp, sysrq is the print screen button [10:11] if its not labled bothwise [10:11] ok i understand that [10:11] I have activated gnome-shell with --replace parameter, how to return to the previous window manager (im using 10.10 maverick meerkat) [10:12] karamba, unity --replace [10:12] I installed wine and now my update manager won't allow the updates - what am I doing wrong? [10:12] soreau: I'm learning right now about xrandr and dual monitor setup... earlier I used ~/.xproflie to edite a sign monitor setup not xorg.config [10:12] OMG i dont use unity! [10:12] http://punya-rizal.blogspot.com/ [10:12] how do i force center the window title while using close,minimize,maximize:menu in gconf? the window title looks off center on some themes. [10:12] karamba, wait, that might be compiz --replace, not sure, ok then metacity --replace---but the original one is dead [10:13] i tried it on gconf/apps/metacity/general [10:13] karamba, and dont be so dramatic, i dont use unity either [10:13] soreau: lots of setup options for xorg.config.. how do u keep track????? [10:13] how can I stop a current download and install? [10:14] lyx is taking too long, must be 1GB in size? lol [10:14] http://punya-rizal.blogspot.com/ [10:14] JelloPop: you can use 'man xorg.conf' or 'man ' [10:14] rizal: stop [10:14] scientes, do you know? [10:14] rizal, yeah that spam is not welcome here [10:15] soreau, http://pastebin.com/fsENvdwB [10:15] lisa_, yeah, if its still just downloading, ctrl-c [10:15] soreau: seems u have both a local level configuration file and a system wide configuration? will read xorg.conf [10:15] lisa_, but once it starts installing, dont abort it [10:15] hehe.... [10:15] scientes, it says "installing" so I better leave it, but why is installing taking so long? [10:16] And, Soreau, I am using fglrx [10:16] how do i force center the window title while using close,minimize,maximize:menu in gconf? the window title looks off center on some themes. [10:16] lisa_, if the current line starts with Get:1 http://.... then its downloading [10:16] Aster: I see that, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [10:16] problem with window manager solved just end gnome-session from the task manager [10:17] karamba, that is awesome [10:17] soreau, http://pastebin.com/7d4wkA8u [10:17] I think the installing has frozen. what can I do scientes ? [10:18] lisa_, paste what is going on and i'll tell you [10:18] lisa_ have a patience, hun. there was a dude not so long before you with grub loading 3min [10:18] http://punya-rizal.blogspot.com/ [10:18] it says Lyx and under Installing, but it's taking forever [10:18] rizal, WTF!!!! [10:18] Crowler, lol [10:19] * lisa_ smacks rizal for being naughty [10:19] LIST [10:19] ok ill bbl when its finished installing [10:20] Aster: hang on [10:20] Okay. [10:21] soreau: came across this article on config screen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution am I missing something or forget to read????? [10:21] sciente, dont be so dramatic [10:22] Aster: What is the output of 'lspci|grep VGA'? [10:23] soreau, http://pastebin.com/HdbNc0pn [10:23] "grep VGA" is being slow. [10:23] D: [10:23] Aster: lspci|grep VGA [10:23] aka 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Madison [AMD Radeon HD 5000M Series] [10:23] he posted it earlier [10:24] scientes: rileyp, REISUB, is there generally suggested order on hard lockup .....thanks i just googled reisub great info to know! [10:24] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Madison [AMD Radeon HD 5000M Series] <-- Soreau [10:25] soreau: see I was nt wrong just different meathods... By session with .xprofile. [10:25] Dynamically by using XRandR tool [10:25] Statically by setting in xorg.conf. [10:25] XRandR GUIs (Graphical user interfaces). By session with .xprofile. [10:25] Dynamically by using XRandR tool [10:25] Statically by setting in xorg.conf. [10:26] could put both k and b in one line... [10:26] Aster: Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make it look like this http://sprunge.us/KCcX then save it and restart X by logging out [10:27] soreau, I just replace the conf with that and restart my computer? [10:27] Aster: Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make it look like this http://sprunge.us/KCcX then save it and restart X by logging out [10:28] Okay. [10:31] scientes, Lyx finally finished lol [10:31] Br relogging. [10:31] Brb* [10:32] scientes, Lyx only open .lyx files :( [10:33] lol [10:34] lisa_ i told you, wine+msoffice [10:34] hey. got dhcp3 setup for port eth1, eth0 is main for incoming connection as gateway, how would I get traffic from eth0 to eth1 [10:34] bridge I would assume? [10:34] Crowler, nonono, LibreOffice is great [10:34] I need help with something... [10:35] guys can anyone help me to install loic in my ubuntu??? [10:35] and can do what lisa wants to do [10:35] "An error has occurred. Our engineers have been notified and we will work to fix this." - this is what I see at Ubuntu One. Any ideas wtf it wants? [10:35] however, lyx is pretty cool for what it does, most beautiful documents i've ever created was with LyX [10:36] I installed Ubuntu and then updated a lot of stuff and then my display got weird [10:36] geek0091 depends on if you want inet on gw too [10:36] "Our engineers have been notified and we will work to fix this." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA [10:36] It is not filling my monitor. It is calling my display Laptop, which it's not. [10:37] i mean, its amazing how fast bugs get fixed in FOSS [10:37] including Ubuntu [10:37] And I don't know what to do [10:37] geek0091 bridge for no inet, routing for inet on both [10:37] but its certainly not a given [10:38] the genious, is that if you need to, you can always fix the problem yourself, which just isn't possible with other operating systems [10:38] WVM6, have you got 2 displays? [10:38] No just one. [10:38] Like I said, everything was fine when I installed, but updating stuff chagned something. [10:38] have you installed any new drivers? [10:38] crowler: then routing i presume...any good starting place to figure out? [10:39] hi, i want to make gnome 3 shell themes. can anybody tell me how to start [10:39] geek0091 no. and i will not say "man route" either. [10:40] Hi all! My name is merilio, i come from sweden, and hope we can get along in our ways. [10:40] I went to the upper right button (not sure what it's technically called) and it said there were updates, so I got a lot of them. So yes, I probably did. [10:40] Crowler, try ip route first [10:40] !ot | mernilio [10:40] mernilio: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:40] Hello! I want to go to Sweden... [10:40] WVM6: no sexy chick for you tho! [10:40] WVM6, lets stay on topic of ubuntu support [10:40] geek0091 some ppl get concept of routing on the fly, some never get it [10:40] mernilio, thats enough [10:41] Spych102, you still there? [10:41] WVM6, yes [10:41] crowler: I understand the concept, just the inpractice im stumbling my way through for the first time [10:41] geek0091, you probably need NAT, and to enable ip forwarding [10:41] bazhang: its non topic, but they are everywere here. [10:41] WVM6, i'm thinking [10:41] Thank you. Sorry. [10:41] no problem [10:41] geek0091, if you dont need NAT, all you need to do it turn on ip forwarding, generally [10:41] geek0091 thats how everyone ends up the first time [10:42] crowler: exactly, I feel like im losing my virginity all over again... === companion is now known as Companion [10:42] lol [10:42] Crowler, geek0091 what are guys getting all worked up about? [10:42] unfortuanlly do they display a hatrige towards linuxnerds .. like myself :-( [10:43] scientes routing [10:43] a general purpose computer, is exactly that, a general purpose computer, it can do alot of stuff [10:43] WVM6, it sounds like you installed a restricted driver [10:43] like routing based on the time of day, if you are so inclined [10:43] hi, i want to make gnome 3 shell themes. can anybody tell me how to start [10:43] WVM6, was it ATI/AMD or NVIDIA? [10:43] Crowler, geek0091 so you still havn't explained what problem you are having that requires you guys pretending that the problem is difficult [10:44] ATI [10:44] im not, but he asks for learning sources, and i cant offer him anything easy [10:44] ahh gotcha [10:44] yeah, documentation of routing sucks ass [10:44] and its all so ugly [10:44] * scientes is not exactly an expect [10:44] WVM6, open the catalyst control center (administrative) [10:44] I dont care. I like black girles. We dont have so many black woman here. So you really have to be carefull. [10:44] mernilio do you need dome help [10:44] however, its pretty simple stuff [10:45] Soreau, I'm on my phone now, it just freezes on this screen: http://www.imgur.com/U4YYI.jpg [10:45] rileyp hello [10:45] hi [10:45] now, ipv4 exaustion causes so many damn problems [10:45] i've downloaded the linux pen drive [10:45] rileyp: acrually, no. i installed my first distro 1993. [10:45] installed the lubuntu on the usb [10:45] but when i plug it into my laptop, and reboot the PC, nothing happens [10:45] MobileAster: Can you boot in recovery mode? [10:46] I'll try. [10:46] mernilio, take your !ot somewhere else [10:46] Doug how did you go installing? [10:46] i just used the program [10:46] spych102 I don't know if I have it on ubuntu [10:46] you were right, it was really simple. [10:46] 3-4 clicks [10:46] nvm i found it [10:47] doug you may need to open the bios boot menu to select boot from usb [10:47] ok [10:47] douglas you may need to open the bios boot menu to select boot from usb [10:47] okay [10:47] brand of laptop please? [10:47] WVM6 when it opens go to display manager [10:47] Soreau, what do I do? "resume","fsck","remount","root"? [10:48] acer 3810T i think [10:48] MobileAster: root prompt [10:48] Hello. ALT + TAB gives me access to all my windows, no matter what workspace they are located at. How do I change it so that only the windows on the current workspace is shown ? [10:48] I fixed it thanks spych102 :) [10:48] Soreau, now what? [10:48] yeah that's the one. [10:48] It gave me root bash. [10:48] MobileAster: at the root prompt, open xorg.conf for editing# nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:48] wvm6, that's great [10:48] spych102: I slits the scaling bar to overscan. Thanks a lot! [10:48] I completely forgot about that [10:49] I had this problem when I reinstalled windows a little while ago. [10:49] Soreau, now what? [10:49] rileyp, does it matter if the USB i have it on supports USB 2.0 or not? I'm 99 % certain that my USB does(but you never know, it's a generic one). [10:49] MobileAster: Then change the Virtual line values both to 1600, then save the file by doing Ctrl+X, Y and Enter === Whiskey- is now known as Whiskey [10:50] At the bottom is says " Read 12 Lines (warning : no write permission)" ,Soreau. [10:50] douglas your laptop will set up to boot from the hard disk you ned to tell it to boot from usb Im looking at the manual now [10:51] MobileAster: well that's strange.. [10:51] wvm6, did actually help? LOL [10:51] Douglas your usb port may sit on built-in extender, which prevents bios from detecting drive at boot time [10:51] MobileAster: Are you sure the file system isn't mounted ro? (read only) [10:51] d [10:51] okay and how do I see if it does? [10:51] if there is even a way? [10:52] Douglas try another port [10:52] hello [10:52] MobileAster: Your prompt has a #? [10:52] Soreau, I don't see why it would. [10:52] do you think there are differences between usb ports, no standardization? [10:52] It does. [10:52] can somebody tell me in which package the file-open file-save dialog is? [10:53] MobileAster: If you're editing the file as root, it should let you unless the file system is read only [10:53] Douglas drives connected via hubs usually cannot be detected by bios [10:53] ok, still here scientest? [10:53] or crowler? [10:53] Soreau, how would I have edited it if it were? [10:53] MobileAster: Check the output of 'mount' [10:53] okay but what is a 'hub' in this case? can I see it or check for it somehow? [10:53] geek0091 i am, but not sure if i can be of any help [10:53] MobileAster: See the one for '/' and the flags, rw, ro [10:54] When having a dhcp server on eth1, requiring a nat translation with forwarding, and eth0 as the main interface connected to wan, wanting eth1 to be lan, how can I achieve this? [10:54] Douglas no, theyre hardware transparent [10:55] !ciao [10:55] ! [10:55] MobileAster: mount|grep " / " [10:55] Crowler: so you mean that I can't really know in any way possible? No program etc? [10:55] Douglas you cant [10:55] douglas if you know how open your bios and change boot priority so that boot from usb is first in list [10:57] i think i know how to enter bios [10:58] appears to be F2 but i need to know if there's an extender to my USB as Crowley suggested but there's no way to know according to him [10:58] spych102 yes you did help me thanks :) [10:58] wvm6, ok [10:59] Soreau, /dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) [10:59] geek0091 you just have to assume what is what, limit dhcp to lan only and add proper lines to rounig tables on gw [11:00] MobileAster: I'm not sure why it wont let you save it then.. compare the output of 'groups' to 'ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf' maybe [11:00] crowler: simply bridging instead [11:00] Douglas enter bios and see if you can set it to boot from usb press f10 save and exit [11:00] can somebody tell me in which package the file-open file-save dialog is? [11:00] rileyp what about this program? [11:00] http://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/intro.html [11:00] crowler: its too late (7am) to deal with iptabled [11:00] MobileAster: or try 'login' then login as your normal user and use sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:01] geek0091 not iptables [11:01] tables* [11:01] geek0091 routing tables [11:01] Douglas nothing will boot from usb until you tell it to boot from usb [11:02] Soreau, could you repeat that please? [11:02] MobileAster: or try 'login' then login as your normal user and use sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:02] Douglas on some laptops you can just pres escape just after it starts and a boot menu will appear [11:03] alright ill try it in a second, antivirus is updating [11:03] Douglas or on the bottom or top of screen it will say press f1 for boot menu del for bios or something else === Companion is now known as companion [11:03] MobileAster: If all else fails, you can move, rename or delete xorg.conf === R3van is now known as marcel_s === companion is now known as Companion [11:04] Douglas a 100 page post on your laptop has me worried it and linux are not best mates http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1165087 [11:05] MobileAster: but you probably want to experiment with different values for the Virtual line to see what fglrx can handle. Or, remove fglrx and use the open radeon driver (the default when fglrx is not installed) [11:05] Soreau, I still can't edit the file. [11:06] MobileAster: that's really weird. maybe try from a live session [11:07] Douglas you should be able to get the boot menu by pressing f12 [11:07] ive had ubuntu on yhis laptop before but via wubu [11:07] soreau, define live session? [11:07] hello i'm running debian and would like to add deb http://packages.linuxmint.com debian import to repositories, apt-get update asks for a key how can i automatically get it? [11:07] it worked so-so, but there was not a big diff from my pc [11:07] MobileAster: like a live cd or flash drive [11:08] rileyp: http://www.helpowl.com/p/Acer%20Computers/Aspire-3810T/Research/65465?search=aspire%203810t%20bios see page 27 [11:08] Oh. Okay. So a USB key with Ubuntu on it? [11:08] MobileAster: from there you can access the mounted file system from disk and (hopefully) edit the file [11:08] Kotus: err, this is the Ubuntu channel, it's neither the Debian nor the Linux Mint channel... [11:08] Kotus: this is ubuntu support, ask in #debian channel [11:08] yes [11:08] Okay. [11:10] okay rileyp im rebooting [11:11] Douglas F12 to change boot device and choose usb or you may have to choose hard disks and the add in cards or something like that [11:12] Hello. How do you remove activity logs with Ubuntu 11.10, and preferably disable all sorts of spying and logging altogether [11:14] There are some tools that supposedly are there to do this, say, activity log manager, which has this button "delete all activity history from this time range". Unfortunately, this button does nothing [11:14] stop syslog service [11:15] hello, i am new to ubuntu.. just installed the 11.10 on my laptop [11:15] i need help with my wifi [11:16] i am new to ubuntu..i need help with my wifi ..broadcomm not detected [11:17] can someone help me??

[11:41] cuddylier: sudo adduser username admin [11:41] Does this make the user as well as put them in admin? [11:41] I already have the user created [11:41] cuddylier: username has to exist [11:41] rileyp ..sir what must i do now? [11:42] Right, good. [11:42] ansi go to the system menu and select hardware drivers [11:42] Cool, found a way [11:42] ansi it may be as simple as clicking a driver to install [11:42] Deleted bunch of Zeitgeist-related files [11:42] ansi it will be broadcom [11:43] sir..wow... i see in the Additional drivers 3 drivers .. one of them is Broadcom STA wireless driver [11:43] ansi yes install it [11:44] oh no sir.. when i clicked on activate it says..Sorry, installation of this driver failed. [11:44] Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log [11:44] Jonii: just purge all the zeitgeist stuff [11:44] llutz_: do you need zeitgeist for anything? [11:44] Jonii: _i_ don't use it at all [11:44] ansi look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#HP%20Mini%201010nr [11:45] But, like, could there be a program that depended on Zeitgeist in some weird way? [11:45] That I needed [11:45] Jonii: sudo aptitude purge '~nzeitgeist' -s check what would happen [11:45] Hey guys and gals, can anyone think of a reason why I can't SSH into my server account from a terminal on Ubuntu11.10 live cd?

[11:50] ansi the last post on this page https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/112604 [11:51] I don't know what the issue was, could have been an issue on my local router or something [11:51] If I use the root account, will it damage my computer? [11:51] I think it will be less hassle as it has all the permissions [11:51] hello, how can start a terminal using command? [11:51] !sudo | cuddylier [11:51] cuddylier: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [11:52] cuddylier: theres no reason to activate the root-account. if you need a root-shell, use sudo -i [11:52] I am logged onto the root account on my gui, but is it fine to just use the root account all the time? [11:52] It was activated by my host of my dedicated server [11:52] cuddylier: real stupid idea [11:52] cuddylier: not an ubuntu install then [11:52] My host installed ubuntu [11:52] some bastardiszed ubuntu build [11:52] cuddylier: is it a vps ? [11:53] Dedicated server [11:53] cuddylier: so to get this clear, someone has put ubuntu with a desktop X11 install on a server, enabled the root account, enabled root login in the gui and then put it on the internet ? [11:53] cuddylier: create a user, add him to admin-group. work as user, use sudo if you _really_ need root-rights [11:53] how do i install the development tools? [11:54] I didnt specify to install them on the dist installation. [11:54] I have the account "ryan" in the admin group, will I just use that? [11:54] cuddylier: is the root account enabled in the desktop gui ? [11:54] Yes [11:54] cuddylier: enjoy getting exploited then [11:54] I'm logged onto it right now [11:54] everythingWorks: sudo apt-get install build-essential [11:54] I'm a n00b at ubuntu [11:54] Will I disable it? [11:55] soreau? You there? [11:55] thanks :D [11:57] I logged out on my gui, how do I log in as the user "ryan" on the command line? [11:57] cuddylier: are you sure you want to run a linux-server? [11:57] Well, I have no choice [11:58] I have to use linux [11:58] !manual | cuddylier then take some time and learn some basics [11:58] cuddylier then take some time and learn some basics: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[12:00] cuddylier: sudo passwd -dl root [12:00] Actually, what is the command to install e.g. filezilla and firefox? [12:00] Can I observe the stderr? Like this: tty1: "cat /dev/stderr" ; tt2: echo "myerror" > /dev/stderr [12:00] Okay, thanks [12:00] then, i see the "myerror" message in tt1. [12:00] (or should see ;) ) [12:00] everythingWorks: no, not really... but by default, stderr just goes to the terminal output, so why do you need to jump through hoops to see it? [12:01] LjL I want to view all messages sent to stderr globally :) [12:02] everythingWorks: hmm i don't think that can be done [easily]. maybe if you overwrote /dev/stderr with your custom FIFO... [12:02] everythingWorks: that still needs any command redirecting stderr into your fifo [12:03] okay [12:04] hello , can you please tell me how to use LDFLAGS for compiling [12:04] I have a library in my home directory [12:04] it is compiled there [12:04] and I want to use that library not the system one [12:05] I think it si done with LDFLAGS [12:07] monser: isn't it LDLIBS? [12:08] ansi are you there [12:12] I have a wifi card problem. Can anyone help? [12:12] Scott_Z: maybe make model of laptop [12:14] Dell Inspiron 1750 but I am using a USB Belkin card. It was working great (and working now on the windows site) but then I did the upgrade software in ubuntu and on a reboot it stopped working. The little light does not even come on. The usb port is fine as I plugged a thumb drive into it and it worked. When I look at the network connections under my belkin card it says that it was disabled by [12:14] a hardware switch. Any ideas? [12:15] does anyone know why a window would break apart when I use the scroll function on my mouse? I'm using an older version of xubuntu. [12:15] site=side [12:17] Scott_Z: if upgrade changed your kernel might try reboot into the older one [12:17] it did and i did try that [12:18] Scott_Z: other advice if it's not broke don't fix it. (upgrades are not always a good thing) [12:18] forget the wireless and use wired, problem solved [12:18] Scott_Z: reboot to the earlier kernel and see if it work [12:19] Scott_Z: "rfkill list" does it show something "blocked"? [12:19] tried older kernal. still not work [12:19] lol im a bit slow wactjing tv at same time [12:19] hehe [12:20] русские есть? [12:20] !ru | nekto [12:20] nekto: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [12:20] I am on the windows side of this right now I will have to write all the suggestions down, reboot to try them, then reboot again back into windows if things do not work to let you all know, so all the suggestions I could try at one time would be great. [12:21] And I would gladly un-upgrade if it would fix things but I dont know how to do that. [12:21] 1,517 people and no one knows how to fix a display problem? [12:22] Scott_Z: there are many steps but if you backed up to last kernel and still not working maybe rfkill ? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/rfkill.1.html [12:22] they are all working on my network problem :) [12:22] blah what is your issue [12:22] the scroll function scatters my display in xubuntu. [12:22] blah: I suck at displays sorry [12:23] How do I choose where filezilla downloads files to? [12:23] It is trying to create a root folder and it gets "Permission Denied" [12:23] blay my display is 3m long and 1.7 high and runs at 1080p no overscan and im using xfce4 and it does not do that [12:24] !virus [12:24] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [12:24] blah are you using nv drivers or ati or just the vesa [12:25] rileyp- It's using an mga driver. The card is a Matrox Mystique II [12:25] blah is it only in firefox or does it happen in other programs as well [12:25] The on board display driver is also loaded(Intel 810). Conflicts maybe? [12:26] when I looked at things it said that it was due to a hardware switch. I will try rfkill but the manpage says that if it is a hardware switch then this wont work. where can i look for a hardware switch? [12:26] cuddylier: filezilla has a client and a server I should infer that your problem is on the client? [12:26] Yes, the client [12:26] It happens in file manager and web browsers. [12:27] Scott_Z: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1836075 I know its not your and i dont think it will affect a usb one but make sure its enabled when you close windows [12:27] perhaps [12:29] blah: do you have a special xorg.conf you have configured yourself? [12:30] do you know how to compile when you are not a root? [12:30] thanks for the link but my card does not have an on/off button. [12:30] Ugh. [12:30] Screw xorg.conf [12:30] cuddylier: I guess it' up to you in client as you decide what the local location is try /home/yourusername/downloads [12:30] I can't even boot into Ubuntu with that. [12:31] !checkinstall | monser: ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall [12:31] monser: ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [12:31] i am going to reboot and try rfkill. Ill be back and let ya all know. thanks [12:31] Scott_Z: i didnt think it did perhaps the onboard may work with the new kernel? [12:31] cuddylier: it defaults to local / that requires root permition to access [12:31] The xorg.conf is completely empty. Some websites suggested usig Xorg -configure. But, I don't see why this is necessary when it autodetects.

[13:02] so simple [13:02] there seems to be a driver support issue with the dell card. alot of people are having it. [13:02] viktor: you did restart your system after installation, right? [13:02] scott_z: why would you have a usb wifi installed if you didn't use it? [13:03] whats with the new desktop stuff in oneirc [13:03] i use the usb. i was not using the onboard dell card [13:03] i yanked the onboard card out [13:03] ljt, it was already installed, but i did did reboot after trying to install, also purged the fglrx driver that wasn't working [13:04] scott_z: oh onboard as you disabled in bios then [13:04] ljt, i did add "nomodeset" to the grub, can that be related to the issue? [13:04] from opening and closing the laptop the wires for the onboard card that went to the antenna where cut. it was cheaper to buy a usb card than to replace the wires. [13:04] not diabled, physically removed it! [13:05] scott_z: on board must mean pcmci card then [13:06] I had to take the access panel off , remove 2 screws and pull it out of the slot. [13:06] scott_z: oh you could have just disabled it but that also works [13:06] i was tired of messing around, when i do it i go all out [13:07] funny thing though, now when i do an rfkill list there is nothing in that list. it does not seem to see my usb wifi. [13:08] scott_z: no I think rfkill is only supported in onboard devices [13:08] did not even thing of the bios.. silly me [13:08] it is so nice to be back online in linux, windows sux.

[13:11] what are the best apps for IT admins? [13:12] timoharling: that is a vague and broad question [13:12] so in essence my question: how to make ubuntu run commands at startup ^^ [13:13] !upstart | synergizm [13:13] synergizm: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [13:13] ok nevermind [13:13] ljt, maybe this is relevant? kms is disabled, and radeon seems to be initialized [13:14] ljt, srry, forgot to paste what might be relevant http://paste.ubuntu.com/899095/ [13:14] auronandace: i rly have to install sth for that? i mean i just wanna remove pointeracceleration.. its just 2 lines in the terminal [13:15] whats the best rdp === ajay_sd_ is now known as ajay_sd [13:15] synergizm: upstart is what ubuntu already uses, you don't need to install anything [13:17] I just made ubuntu the only OS on my macbook! [13:17] synergizm: when you say you put the commands in a text file, did you make it a script? did you make it executable too? [13:17] auronandace: nope and nope :S [13:18] ljt, are you still there? [13:18] auronandace: do i have to configure upstart using the terminal? [13:18] synergizm: startup applications isn't going to know what to do with a text file [13:19] auronandace: yeah kinda figured it might not ^^ [13:19] whats the best remote desktop viewer guys? [13:19] auronandace: so how do i make it a skript and executable? btw startup application part of upstart? [13:19] synergizm: i must admit i don't know much about upstart (aside from the fact that ubuntu uses it and it is different to sysv init) [13:20] synergizm: you need the shebang at the top of the text file #/usr/bin/bash (or something like that) === ajay_sd__ is now known as ajay_sd [13:20] viktor: yes sorry, nomodeset is often the preferred option but if you haven't already - perhaps try without it [13:20] synergizm: then you need to chmod +x the text file [13:21] viktor: also, have you used this card with ubuntu before? (and had it working?) [13:22] wow thanks for the help guys [13:22] auronandace: cant fins usr/bin/bash [13:22] *d [13:22] synergizm: sorry, the shebang is #! /bin/bash [13:23] ljt, i've had difficulties with lucid as well (using oneiric now) it only worked reasonably well under hardy (proprietary driver). You mean boot without nomodeset? i can't, nothing but black screen if i do.. [13:24] it was stupid of me to think a chat channel about ubuntu would have nice people that would help [13:24] timoharling: you need to ask questions to get help [13:24] timoharling: you also need to do it without attitude, [13:24] viktor: right ok, check this out if you haven't already: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need%20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch [13:24] i did it 5 times without attitude [13:25] timoharling: what is the question ? [13:25] timoharling: i use teamviewer (not open source though) [13:25] i need a good remote desktop program [13:25] auronandace: found it but im to stupid to open it 0_o shouldnt gedit be able to ? [13:25] timoharling: ok - are you connecting to ? [13:26] synergizm: open what? you add #! /bin/bash to the top of your text file to make it a bash script [13:26] to windows servers and collation servers [13:26] timoharling: there is an rdp application [13:26] timoharling: that way you don't have to use a non-native windows application on the servers to connect to [13:26] auronandace: ahh allright "#! /bin/bash" like that? [13:27] synergizm: yes (obviously no quotes when you write it in the file) [13:27] ljt, i have :) exept, i think, for the "more aggresive" recipe that purges both driver instead for just the amd catalyst unthing. [13:27] synergizm: it should always be the top line on its own [13:28] I am getting this error, any ideas? [13:28] http://pastebin.com/4RmaEWNA [13:28] auronandace: allright ty so far gonna try it out now :) [13:28] im an IT tech and i know how to do this in windows but i really want to learn how to replace my windows work machine with ubuntu but i need to figure out was to accomplish the usual things i do with my windows machine [13:28] timoharling: ok, so what's the problem ? [13:28] synergizm: after you done that and saved it then you need to make it executable [13:29] synergizm: open a terminal where you have the file stored then do: chmod +x nameoffile [13:29] do you know any tool similar to "mairlist" for virtual radio studio? [13:30] auronandace: i activated executable in the properties should do the same? [13:30] vmware and cisco [13:30] synergizm: yes [13:30] seems to me that wanting a linux machine to do everything a windows machine does would be kind of limiting [13:31] auronandace: brb reboot ty!! [13:31] synergizm: no worries :) [13:34] IV'E JUST INSTALLED UBUNTU ON MY MACBOOK PRO [13:34] daviddd: o ?

I have time. [13:37] daviddd: ok, well we can't help then [13:37] daviddd: however reading https://help.ubuntu.com will give you an introduction into the basics of using ubuntu [13:37] ljt, no prob, one more thing though, apt-get recommends that i install additional package "linux-firmware", but it has no installation candidate, if i google for repo i get dell sites. so you think it's just useful for dell, and how do i get the repo? [13:37] thanks! [13:38] so what do you guys talking about in this room? [13:38] dougwiser: i take it you are using unity? [13:38] do you know any tool similar to "mairlist" for virtual radio studio? [13:38] daviddd: this channel is for ubuntu technical support [13:38] i should leave [13:38] I have no idea I just did the default install of 11/10 [13:38] daviddd: this is where you get help or help others with ubuntu [13:39] dougwiser: ah yes, that would be unity, i use xfce instead [13:39] seems to run great and all the hard ware is recognized but navigating this stuff [13:39] !unity | dougwiser [13:39] dougwiser: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [13:39] thanks auronandace [13:39] dougwiser: no worries :) [13:40] I was really enjoying the gnome desktop with compiz fusion in my last install [13:40] but i wanna find out how this is posed to really work before I go ballistic on it [13:40] can you please helop me with my pesky "connection to the imput service timed out" problem when attempting to connect an already paired bluetooth mouse or keyboard? [13:40] dougwiser: is this usb stick doug [13:41] do you know any tool similar to "mairlist" for virtual radio studio? [13:41] dougwiser: good that you are openminded, unity isn't my taste, i hope it works for you though [13:41] I swapped the xorg.conf with the xorg.conf I used in RedHat 9. It worked like a charm. Thanks again rileyp. [13:42] blah lol i didnt do anything [13:42] blah just sugested [13:42] Either way it helped, lol [13:42] cool [13:42] glad i could help [13:43] viktor: what version of ubuntu are you on?

I use it, and i remember seeing a guide there. [13:44] next questions how can i put the taskbar on the bottom of the screen? [13:45] synergizm: unity? [13:45] viktor: I believe that linux-firmware is required for certain ati drivers [13:45] ok, thanks a lot [13:45] remoteCTRL: yap [13:45] synergizm: it isn't supported in unity, there is a hacky ppa to do it but it will likely break stuff [13:45] synergizm: sorry but you cannot...

[14:20] what's the reason and how can I solve this problem? [14:20] shamess: you of course cannot move a dir into itself.... cd into the directory whos contents you want to move then, sudo mv * ../ [14:20] !nomodeset | Toscho [14:20] Toscho: 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.

[14:21] Toscho can you ctrl alt f1 to a terminal ?

[14:21] remoteCTRL: Well, I'm hoping I somehow deleted the signatures I had stored. Otherwise, I maybe once did apt-get update over tor and got a devious copy of the package list..? But even that couldn't have compromised my signature database... [14:21] htmlgifted: sometimes close drivers work with your setup [14:21] wylde: what why does this happen now? yesterday it worked fine and didn't change any config [14:22] htmlgifted: 2000 would be older/earlier model than 2050 [14:22] ie 2050 may work with 2000 [14:22] or something "close" [14:22] remoteCTRL: Is there a way to see what public keys I have stored?

[14:23] Toscho: you didn't mention that in your initail question. Did you install any new packages or updates just before this happened? [14:23] even networked printer that can be found.. I have tried both and still not able to send a print request to the printer to allow printing over my network. [14:23] Galaxor: ermm.. severe abuse of tor :D and nope that shopuld not have caused the problem... [14:23] no [14:23] Galaxor: yes there is, let me think for a sec [14:23] I have it installed, but the profiles are not loaded... There must be some default profiles (like high-quality PC, low-quality PC)...

[14:25] viktor: nope it is not, but in that case you most likely did not purge but remove it [14:25] Galaxor you can look at the keys in synaptic [14:26] Toscho: any hard restarts just before this? At anyrate it might worthwhile to fsck your boot drive [14:26] remoteCTRL, i definitively purged it [14:26] viktor: then i have no explanation for it, purge should leave nothing behind... [14:26] !fsck [14:26] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [14:27] viktor: your package management anyways is of the opinion that it has nothing left of it so removing them manually should do no harm, if you consider that useful [14:27] hard restart might be [14:27] viktor: about the display unclaimed, i already asked you to explain where that came up [14:27] I am having a problem with mouse cursor lag and intel video drivers. My laptop has gma 4500 mhd integrated video . I get lag on the mouse cursor using any recent distro of linux, but older releases work fine. Also win7 works fine. If I force vesa drivers... no lag as well. thoughts? [14:28] remoteCTRL, i ran 'sudo lshw -C video' from a ubuntuforum about using radeon driver to determine chipset [14:29] Hmm. [14:29] use vesa driver [14:29] ominomi: i know exactly what you mean... hmm.... [14:30] purge rarely does as much as people like to think it will [14:30] hololight_use vesa driver [14:30] viktor: and that returned as only output display unclaimed? [14:31] thats not an answer, and just marginally better than, sorry about your luck. I know that intel drivers worked in the past, at least as recent as 10.04 [14:31] thanks for the printer advice .... l8ter [14:32] remoteCTRL, i gave you the paste, hold on, i'll paste again, http://paste.ubuntu.com/899193/ [14:33] need help on networking issues [14:33] viktor: erm... nope you didnt but thanks anyways:) [14:33] hololight: could do regression testing to see when it started to lag [14:33] been lookign around but cant find any particularly informative instructions on how to get kde desktop onto ubuntu server. anyone know? [14:33] viktor: http://pastebin.com/LubM9w6D [14:33] hololight_ the intel driver is problem so why not use lucid then [14:33] viktor: weird indeed i never had that one... [14:34] hololight_ everyone obsessed with updates at end of day they dont do much [14:35] remoteCTRL, had it confused with another paste, srry [14:35] hololight_: can you backport the driver?? Just a thought. [14:36] SilfenX: why would you want kde on a server? [14:36] viktor: no prob, dude:) [14:36] remoteCTRL, yeah, so i've got no idea what it means (of course, i'm a noob), but i'm guessing it's related?

[14:57] remoteCTRL, why the $(ls) why not just use globbing? * [14:57] aoeui`: as an educaterd guess i would say yes [14:57] escott: same difference...:) [14:58] aoeui`, bad practice you shouldn't assume that all the shell variables are there, plus its confusing. use the full path [14:58] $(ls) good luck on filenames with spaces ... [14:58] aoeui`: in all honesty it's best to use absolute path's in scripts, IMHO. [14:58] llutz_: got a point there...

[15:04] wylde: ok like "username=aoeui; ls /home/$username".

[15:06] llutz_: the non-dev files are usuaally the main program, and the -dev files might be needed when compiling modules or plugins or something else for this utiutility. [15:06] llutz_: i see, thanks <- such a shell noob... [15:06] SwedeMike: -> bencc [15:06] llutz_: thanks.

I would suggest the possible causes are (a) a mismatch between your video driver and the kernel (if you got a new kernel during the upgrade) (b) some other bug in the upgraded packages (c) or something funky in your user config files. I would boot the broken gui, ctl-alt-f1 over to a terminal, login, "export DISPLAY=:0" and run glxinfo > glxinfo.output and then reboot to [15:54] recovery so you can send us that file [15:54] DoctorD, this is not an Ubuntu issue.

[15:54] oApocalypse: somewhat you can also try in #ubuntu-server [15:54] rileyp: ya but telling him to use no driver at all also wont do the trick, right? i mean what sort of advice is that anyways? :D yes ubuntu has veeery nice core features, especially for teh noobs, but if you are one, please dont use them?

Then it gives me grub rescue [16:08] But I don't know what to do with yhat [16:08] zykotic10: not only do you need to chroot but also do you need to bind mount proc, sys and temp into the chrooted installation in order to have grub do its job [16:08] "Out of disk" would be a whole different issue. [16:08] remoteCTRL: which is all documented in the !grub2 chroot option ;) [16:08] mun i dont know what out of disk means, i never heard that and i doubt that it is english :) [16:09] htmlgifted: i need some insight into why I have to manually delete my connection and disable connections before a 10 sec restart..then re connect after wireless devices are found ......er....we dont know why are you doing it?

[16:23] mun ok not conlusive enuff, please do sudo mont and tell me what is mounted to / it should be either /dev/sda5 or /dev/sda7?

Is a cordless phone killing your wireless network? [16:26] does anyone know why I have question mark item in alt-tab bar? I created the following .desktop file, the icon shows in the Unity bar but not in alt-tab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/899321/ [16:26] mun well relying on your info then :) [16:26] escott: If I am using a different than stock driver, how can I tell, and then re-activate, or upgrade it? [16:27] bitte nochmal den deutschen irc [16:27] mun if you get any errors you need to use the -o bind option for the other three mounts too [16:27] not sure about that last one.. have like 3 ion the house.. and signal strength is strong.

[16:32] Even with --bind [16:32] Never seen this b4 but I accepted and waiting for something to appear [16:32] hi, i can't find the save as svg image option in gimp. Please help [16:32] krambiorix: humm that would be an indicator that youre right with your suspicion, what does cat cat /etc/resolv.conf return? [16:32] I get a blank pink screen [16:33] mun did you fist mount /dev/sda5 to /mnt? [16:33] Helloooooooo room! I'm wondering if there is a way to do this ---- I have a Buffalo NAS drive. Its old and making some noise, I'm not sure if its the fan or the drive, so, not taking any chances, I set up a "backup" drive on my Dell PE2650 which is running Ubuntu 10.04.3LTS Server. I have -manually- copied everything on the Buffalo , some 35GB of stuff, onto the dedicated backup drive on the Dell. Is there a way I can have the Del [16:33] l with the Ubuntu automatically scan for changes on the Buffalo network drive and if there is changes, it would duplicate the changes on the Dell's backup drive? Is there a way to do that? [16:33] you have to accept and wait for it to load. [16:33] escott: Thank you very much for looking into this [16:33] OK all mounted [16:33] I accepted but it never loaded. How long does it take [16:34] not sure it depends on the size. [16:34] <_Marcus> Is it possible to have a loop where the user's home is one directory into /home, and it keeps looping? Like /home/user/realhome would be their real home, but /home/user would have a symbolic link to /home/user/realhome. Is this possible? [16:34] please try it again and will wait. thanks htmlgifted [16:34] remoteCTRL: it returns nameserver [ipaddress] 2 times [16:34] ok [16:34] bbOOmm, Probably with rsync. [16:34] net [16:34] bbOOmm: what ways of connecting does your drive support, does it do samba or even nfs or at least ftp? if so you can mount it in ubuntu and then have a specific cli command which just escapes me surveil it for changes and take actions accordingly [16:34] keeps failing for some reason.? [16:34] remoteCTRL: but i think its from another network [16:35] krambiorix: while [ipaddress] being an actual valid ipaddress? [16:35] hum that is strange. [16:35] i get the screen but its not loading but screen is still open. [16:35] Should I run boot repair [16:35] remoteCTRL: yes valid ip [16:35] mun now do sudo chroot /mnt === haz3lnut is now known as haz3lnut_zzz [16:35] hum.? close that out and let a new one appear. [16:35] krambiorix: then ping the address [16:35] remoteCTRL: but i can't ping it [16:36] ok, closed [16:36] krambiorix: then youre connected to nothing [16:36] Sidewinder1, Thanks, I'll look at rsync [16:36] Dobe [16:36] Done [16:36] krambiorix: what does sudo iwconfig return? [16:36] bbOOmm, NP. [16:36] bjrohan, yeah i cant make sense of that they've changed all the names of the drivers around and I don't use the ati so I can't say for sure what an ati vs xorg setup would look like, but it appears that kernel modesetting is disabled and the fglrx cannot be found. im suspicious given that it is looking for fglrx that you might have installed through a .bin but you would know best if you had done that [16:36] here it comes. [16:36] krambiorix: pleas pastebin the output [16:36] hm, tried the 12.04 desktop daily build installer, but it didn't seem to recognize my LVM setup. Do I need an alternate installer for that? [16:36] remoteCTRL thanks, I'll see if I can mount the network drive on the ubuntu ... [16:37] sending? [16:37] nothing here [16:37] what happened.? [16:37] at least now, I have a couple posibilities to follow.

Anything I can do to install from a non .bin? [16:38] remoteCTRL: but it gives info about the wlan0 [16:38] bjrohan, what does locate fglrx output? [16:38] krambiorix: do you see an ipaddress? what is the signal strength, are you actually connected to a wireless access point? [16:38] mun ignore that [16:38] Works without sudo [16:39] mun has to be sudo! [16:39] or are you root? [16:39] ah sudo chroot -.- me dummy :D [16:39] anyone know how I can fix this?

Hmm so grub has been reinstalled? [16:40] remoteCTRL: no ip address, link quality:39/70 [16:40] OK let me reboot [16:40] remoteCTRL: but when i do ifconfig i see an ip address === diana is now known as Guest8638 [16:41] htmlgifted: its not something like the ip address is being issued to another machine and then when it tries to recconect the ip has been used [16:41] bjrohan, ok sounds like you did not install fglrx, in which case that should not be the cause of any breakage. im not sure what to suggest except trying a unity --reset [16:41] bahamas: quite a few bugreports on that one: http://www.google.com/search?site=skipity.com&source=ds&q=Cannot+open+shared+library+libasound_module_conf_pulse.so [16:41] krambiorix: for wlan0?

[18:59] unless you use .tar.gz, its a gzipped tar [18:59] BlackWeb: yes. usually, tar archives are compressed using gzip or bzip2 [18:59] * EvilResistance uses that almost exclusively [18:59] Roasted: Why would you be looking to change it? [19:00] tar is a tool that creates tape archives, it's a format which just puts a bunch of files into one big structured file [19:00] hi all, i need some help with unity, music dash, anyone would be able to give me some answers ? [19:00] Alright, so as far as just wanting to archive directories then TAR is probably Faster then RAR right [19:00] it used to be the format that they used for storing files on some varieties of magnetic tape [19:00] Oscailt, because my setup is kind of unique... 4gb flash drive for root, and 2x500gb raid mounted @ /media/NAS for data for the file server. I want to route it o /media/NAS/public [19:00] how to change flash setings like allowing a website to use webcam plz help me [19:00] Oscailt, that way I can host data versus the flash drive I'm bottlenecked at like 300 meg since that's all I have free. [19:00] Alright, Thanks Everyone :) [19:01] alternative to "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ? [19:01] it's like an ISO image, for magnetic tape [19:01] how to make a dash to display all your albums? [19:01] system is freezing while doing that shit [19:01] Thanks tensorpudding & LjL :) [19:01] hello everyone... just solved my kernel problem.. thanks though..

[19:02] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=off" changed... then boots :) [19:02] darrenlooby: scp [19:02] Oscailt, open jdk java runtime 6 [19:03] bastidrazor, can you give me an example command? [19:03] jeremiah_: that's the problem [19:03] jeremiah_: you need to be using Sun Java [19:03] I dont want sudo dpkg --configure -a [19:03] anyone? :( [19:03] because it's not working well [19:03] jeremiah_: Minecraft doesnt work on OpenJDK [19:03] how do I "reset" dpkg? [19:03] EvilResistance, oh. but it worked before i made it and icon. [19:03] darrenlooby: from the server.. scp /path/to/zipfile user@homebox:~/ [19:03] jermiah_ I'll give you a good tutorial for it. Just wait a second. You don't need to use Sun. It's just better than open. [19:04] darrenlooby: scp @:/dir/to/file /local/dir/file [19:04] cheers bastidrazor and IcemanV9 :D [19:04] darrenlooby: if its a large file rysnc might be a better idea.. it allows resuming [19:05] EvilResistance, so how do i install sun java? i can't find it in software center. [19:05] jeremiah_, Try http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/how-to-install-minecraft-in-ubuntu/ [19:05] !java | jeremiah_ [19:05] jeremiah_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [19:05] bastidrazor, cheers for the tip. Only a little bugger :) [19:05] Just ignore all the stuff about getting Sun Java and skip to the end. [19:07] heeeeeeelp :D [19:08] domz666, With what?

If I erased stuff from nautilus as root, how do I delete it from it's unesistant trash bin?

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and would like to install xfce on it. I'm unsure whether installing xfce desktop system apart from what's default would mess up the applications etc ... Could anyone guide me on this? [19:21] orated, it should not, you may have more applications in the menu though [19:21] orated, what's your current window manager? [19:21] orated: you always can install another DE - it won't delete anything [19:22] prodigel: Unity is the default windows manager in Ubuntu 11.10 [19:22] domz666: But would it affect the default applications and such? [19:22] guntbert: thank you :) [19:22] i just installed ubuntu 11:10, I have a ATI hd 4870 I was just wondering what video driver should I install?... I DON'T want to loose my boot screen tho lol... I really only want to control my fan speed [19:23] orated, it did not on mine (settings-wise) [19:23] derpella: you're welcome :-) -- be very careful ™ when working as root [19:23] ghostconn, hybryd videocard laptop? === Cyclops is now known as Guest17069 [19:23] orated, all apps were exactly as they were on unity [19:24] ? its a desktop.... ati hd 4870 [19:24] ghostconn, fglrx then [19:24] domz666: Ok, so it doesn't really mess the applications. And to install xfce, I just have to install 'xfce' package? [19:24] orated, xfce-desktop or something like this, let me check [19:25] ok you might be able to help me out.. every time I install the fglrx driver I loose my splash screen during boot up? [19:25] i get a blck screen until login? any cure [19:25] if I copy files from a read-only filesystem I will not be able to change the file owner anymore ??? [19:25] !who | ghostconn [19:25] ghostconn: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:25] ghostconn, does it bother you too much? :D [19:25] Question - Apache defaults to /var/www for the hosting directory. How can Ic hange it? [19:25] parapan, you can always change that [19:25] orated, in synaptic it will be xfce4 [19:26] hi [19:26] domz666: Ok, thanks [19:26] compdoc: how [19:26] as sudo [19:26] orated, or just get xubuntu :) [19:26] compdoc, sudo doesn't work ..operation not permitted you are not the owner of the file ... [19:27] parapan: what're you trying to do with this file? [19:27] Roasted, take a look a virtualhosts, it's much easier to work with apache using them [19:27] compdoc the files are copied from the read-only monted partition to a nfs share .. [19:27] prodigel, pardon? [19:27] parapan, when the file is on the read-only filesystem, you cant make changes. But once its moved to a normal filesystem, you can do anything to it [19:27] prodigel, I just want the directory changed... [19:28] Any idea why Banshee crashes whenever I try and load it? (Ubuntu 11.04) [19:28] Roasted: to where? [19:28] guntbert, /media/NAS/public [19:28] prodigel - yes it dose bother me [19:28] BlueProtoman, what error you have? [19:28] EvilResistance: the folder with the files is owned by a user which comes from a read-only filesystem .. [19:28] domz666: Lemme try from the terminal. [19:28] parapan: copy the files from the read only system to your read-write system [19:29] then manipulate them [19:29] compdoc: wait a sec ....evilresistance: that's what i'm trying to avoid ..it's 1 TB of files .... [19:29] Roasted: the easiest way would be to create a soft link /var/www -> /media/NAS/public [19:29] domz666: Here's the log. http://pastebin.com/kkQ1WvHY [19:30] guntbert, excellent thought... [19:30] guntbert, thanks [19:30] Roasted, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html [19:30] Roasted: you're welcome :-) [19:30] Banshee opens for a few seconds, then quits. [19:30] I am trying to clone my Ubuntu hard drive to another hard drive. People here suggested using Clonezilla. It will boot to the main Clonezilla menu and after I hit enter it boots up to "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system". Anyone have any ideas? I have found a few things online to try, but nothing helped. It will do this with the Ubuntu live CDs as well. [19:31] dont use banshee its garbage [19:31] gmusibrowser is the best [19:31] BlueProtoman, i have not seen anything like this before O_O [19:31] hey guys anybody can help me ? i dont see my harddrive in the menu but i do see it whit a cfdisk /dev/sdc what should i do [19:31] domz666: Thank God you're not my doctor. [19:32] ghostconn: I'll have a look. Does it integrate with my taskbar, though? [19:32] BlueProtoman, hahaha :D true :D [19:32] BlueProtoman: open a terminal, start banshee from ther and look what it has to say [19:32] guntbert: I did, http://pastebin.com/kkQ1WvHY [19:32] compdoc: I made an user inside ubuntu "UFS" which match the exact user of the read-only system (ufs filetype); doing that and monting the drive under ubuntu gives me permission to read all the files; when moving files to the server (freenas) I can change owner/permissions of that files ....but when I mount the share in Ubuntu , no matter what user I log in ....Administrator / UFS / root cannot change the permission of the files copied with UFS user .... [19:33] is there a command to minimize everything? [19:33] Xabster: There's a button you can place on your taskbar, aptly named Show Desktop. [19:33] By default it's on the lower left corner, at least in Ubuntu 11.04 (dunno about later) [19:33] hey guys anybody can help me ? i dont see my harddrive in the menu but i do see it whit a cfdisk /dev/sdc what should i do [19:33] BlueProtoman, in GNOME? [19:34] Xabster: Yes, I'm using GNOME3. [19:34] BlueProtoman: sorry, that doesn't tell *me* anything - others might see more [19:34] Is it better to viroot or add the user to the root group? [19:34] i have no idea how to do what you're telling me and I'd also like it to be a keyboard shortcut, BlueProtoman [19:34] Well, I'm switching to gmusicbrowser anyway. [19:34] Xabster: ctrl+alt+D (unity) [19:34] Xabster: Oh, well in that case, sorry. [19:35] Xabster, ctrl alt D [19:35] ask! [19:35] IcemanV9, do you know how I can move it to SUPER+D ? [19:35] It's not part of the options in keyboard shortcuts and I don't know the "custom" command to do it [19:35] Xabster: you can change it in keyboard shortcut in system settings [19:36] Karmaon: what are you trying to do ? [19:36] ah oh my god, IcemanV9, i was blind before - thanks for help [19:36] Xabster: not a problem. :-) [19:37] guntbert: give 2 users sudo privilges [19:37] visudo or usermod -aG admin myUser [19:38] How can I integrate gmusicbrowser with the taskbar? [19:38] How can I keep user directories in view in the /home directory but users not be allowed to get into other user directories, except the administrator having access? [19:38] list [19:38] Karmaon: the latter - add them to the group instead of giving them the rights directly [19:38] guntbert: i see visudo allows two groups by default [19:38] admin and sudo [19:39] which one should I add them into? [19:39] hi guys, how to add IP printer in ubuntu? [19:39] OK, fuck this, I'm just going to fix Banshee. [19:39] But how!? [19:39] please help, i'm not familar with ubuntu [19:39] i have IP for printer..how can i add new printer in ubuntu? [19:39] !language | BlueProtoman [19:39] BlueProtoman: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [19:40] i want to connect to ip printer [19:40] josten: as far as I know "sudo" is the new one, it *should* work, but you can add them to admin as well [19:40] OK, [intercourse] this, I'm just going to fix Banshee. [19:40] But how!? [19:40] hello? [19:40] BlueProtoman, reinstall? [19:41] BlueProtoman: simple advice: don't mock the channel rules [19:41] !patience | phong_ [19:41] phong_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [19:41] I did. The issue seems to be with the libraries. [19:41] Karmaon: as far as I know "sudo" is the new one, it *should* work, but you can add them to admin as well [19:41] guntbert, doesn't appear as if soft links will work :( [19:42] Whats the trigger for the comment about saying ''does anyone know such and such' is it !anyone or something? [19:42] !anyone | MoleMan [19:42] MoleMan, please see my private message [19:42] guntbert: all my users can access each others directories and for example, play the music I have in my Music directory. I am the admin of the system also. Users can view and look at each others files just not modify. [19:42] Roasted: I do know, that soft links under /var/www do work [19:42] guntbert, the idea of changing my apache directory is because I have extremely limited space on my root drive. I only have space on /media/NAS, so I need to host data from that drive. Soft links simply copy the data over, so if I drop something in /media/NAS/softlinkdir, it copies to /var/www/softlink... [19:42] guntbert, it works, but it just copies the data over, whcih negates the point of why I'd use them :( [19:42] just did a fresh install of 11.10, after doing full upgrade and rebooting the system keeps outputting the following message, 'The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present', it seems the lvm partitions aint being mounted, would like help in fixing this [19:43] Roasted: no, softlinks - created with ln -s - don't copy anything [19:43] guntbert, I did. [19:43] guntbert, maybe I did it wrong... let me give it another shot [19:44] Roasted: do so [19:44] amarcolino, so you created LVM partitions by hand during the install? [19:44] how to add network printer? [19:44] BlueProtoman, maybe rhytmbox? [19:44] guntbert, ln -s /var/www/mist /media/NAS. Mist is the folder I want to make public. [19:44] I'd prefer to keep with Banshee right now. [19:44] Mostly because my playlist info is on there already. [19:44] guntbert, then if I put anything in /media/NAS/mist, it transfers to my root drive where /var/www/mist resides. [19:45] josten: sorry, I mistabbed before, will answer in a few minutes [19:45] guntbert: ok === Jasonn is now known as juicy [19:46] I set-up an adhoc between an Ubuntu and Angstrom distributions. (Host is ubuntu ). But the connection is really slow ? What is the reason for that ? [19:46] compdoc, yes, I should've stated that I already fixed the mounting problem had to manually activate/mount the lvm partitions with vgchange -a y, however, I would prefer not have to do this everytime the comp reboots. Would you know how to get lvm to be automaticlaly mounted on boot? [19:46] Is there any girl ???? [19:46] I ping each machine and get instantenous +1000 ping [19:46] Klej, you looking for a date? [19:46] phong_, Perhaps this will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [19:47] compdoc hahaha for friendships :D [19:47] amarcolino, sorry, I dont like LVM, and thats why I use ubuntu, since it doesnt automatically create LVM partitions [19:47] Roasted: no, that is not the way it happens, you just see the files there, pastebin the output of ls -l /var/www pleaee [19:47] *please [19:47] Sidewinder1, it said go to System-> <--- where is that menu? [19:48] compdoc, no worries [19:48] phong_: what DE are yo using? [19:48] josten: pastebin the output of ls -ld /home/* please [19:48] i'm using classic [19:48] phong_: classic, as in gnome-shell? or gnome-fallback? [19:48] on the menu it is 'Applications', 'Places' [19:48] phong_: the third one should be "System" [19:48] dont kno what u talking about [19:48] but you might not see that if you're not in the admin group [19:48] guntbert, http://pastebin.com/J0LZTyui [19:48] there is no third one [19:49] phong_, I'm not sure what version of ubuntu that you're using; it is just to the right of "Places" on mine. [19:49] i am using ubuntu 11.10 [19:49] i dont use the one GUI that it came with [19:49] i set to classic [19:50] phong_: you aren't crazy ;) there is no System with gnome3 [19:50] guntbert: drwxr-xr-x 23 jonbill jonbill 4096 2012-03-25 13:31 /home/jonbill [19:50] drwxr-xr-x 31 josten josten 4096 2012-03-25 15:11 /home/josten [19:50] drwxr-xr-x 27 jspoteet jspoteet 4096 2012-03-25 14:39 /home/jspoteet [19:50] drwxr-xr-x 25 wilburp wilburp 4096 2012-03-25 13:29 /home/wilburp [19:50] Roasted: as I suspected, the direction was wrong, you have to put a soft link into /var/www that points to /media/NAS [19:50] clean install of 11.10 with lvm, however, on boot the lvm partitions arean't activated/mounted unless I manually do vgchange -a y, would like to know how to automate this for every boot or how to go about sorting this issue? [19:50] In 11.10 what is the expected way for us to create a launcher item? [19:50] guntbert, ah, so I did it right, except backwards? [19:50] this is funny, no one call tell me where is the add printer [19:50] Roasted: yes, it should look more like http://paste.ubuntu.com/899572/ [19:51] guntbert: wilburp is my admin and josten is my user....the others is my family user accounts. [19:51] i dont mean to ask more than im supposed to but im doing somethign for the first time and wondering if there is an include file for c++ that can be used for a daemon === [sh4f4]z is now known as r3pti1epir4te === svensk_a1 is now known as dubaco [19:52] lol man [19:52] i'm late again [19:53] josten: in terminal: sudo chmod -v 0750 /home/* (best use copy/paste) [19:53] zykotic10, Perhaps you can assist phong_ I use 10.04 and am totally clueless with gnome3 (and I prefer to keep it that way.) :) [19:53] !paste | josten [19:53] Sidewinder1, okay here is my problems, i get to system setting [19:53] josten: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[19:53] the + or - sign to add printer gray out [19:54] I don't have an Apache/Registry.pm file on my Ubuntu+Apache2 server, which is causing mod_perl to send Internal Server Errors when running CGI scripts. Any suggestions on how to fix that? [19:55] phong_, Did you read the link I gave you previously? That may be able to help. The last time I tried to configure an IP printer, I failed miserably. The link was 'cause no one else was answering you. [19:55] Sidewinder1, i got to the point [19:55] but the problem is i can't add new printer [19:55] the + sign gray out [19:55] I'm trying to create a launcher uor Komodo IDE in ubuntu 11.10, but when I click the .desktop file I created it says "untrusted application launcher" what do I need to do to make the launcher trusted?

[19:59] trev_: ahh, good you found a nicer solution. [19:59] escott, all i want is to add ip printer in ubuntu [19:59] guntbert: Thanks anyways. I think it has something to do with my motherboards SATA ports or something. It is an older motherboard and it is not liking the installation of the 2tb hard drive.

Thx. [20:03] Hi ! [20:03] guntbert: that worked great, but now my admin(wilburp) doesn't have access to the standard user accounts. [20:03] Hi [20:03] i probably give up again ;( [20:03] phong_, in fact you already have cupsd installed and running on your machine (ps aux | grep cupsd) but the gui is not providing all the config options, the web interface will [20:03] show me , u know i'm not good at ubuntu [20:03] poor ubuntu [20:04] ok my printer has ip 192.168.2.10 [20:04] r u good with a terminal [20:04] Why would an icon theme appear different after installation then it does on the web [20:04] i can connect to it with windows [20:04] in other words [20:04] phong_, open your browser and type: http://localhost:631 [20:04] josten: wilburp should use sudo for thos (hopefully rare) occasions [20:04] not sure on ubuntu..so complicated [20:04] got root???? [20:04] yes i did open [20:04] * r3pti1ep1r4te bangshead on keyboards [20:04] it said: CUPS 1.5.0 [20:04] guntbert: I'm kinda new....how? [20:04] r3pti1ep1r4te: how about you stop talking nonsense?

[20:06] still even after 6 months [20:06] pigs [20:06] hello - using 11.10, trying to figure out samba filesharing. Everything is working fine, it s just that I really need to be able to share entire drives and not just folders on them. Using Nutilus from the desktop to select and share folders doesnt also allow me to select and share entire devices/drives. Is there a way to do that somehow? [20:06] josten: why would you want to enter homedirectories of others at all? [20:06] Silfenx share the drive through /media/ [20:06] got it [20:06] escott, it list alot of list [20:07] which to choose?

[20:07] phong_, http must be new as i've never heard of it before [20:07] a window will appear with root privileges then browse to /media/ [20:07] then click on the drive and share [20:08] this ? AppSocket/HP JetDirect [20:08] 2 questions, 1 of which I'm pretty sure I've seen the solution for but I don't remember what it was [20:08] phong_, depends on what kind of printer you have [20:08] r3pti1ep1r4te: your move. Play it wise, young padawan. [20:09] i have HP 4250 [20:09] ok i give up [20:09] fuk ...i go back to windows [20:09] That work for you Silfex [20:09] That work for you Silfenx [20:09] 1) I've got a MBP. When I boot ubuntu, the boot-screen is extremely corrupted (after grub has loaded the kernel). Once X11 loads, everything looks fine, but the screen is really funkitated-looking when going into/coming out of standby, or if I switch to a VT. How do I fix this? [20:09] this is very silly , cant' even add a network printer [20:09] why when i play minecraft it always ends up having a black sreen? [20:10] phong_, Ok you are the loser .. linux needs people with higher IQ? [20:10] !nomodeset | Athanasius [20:10] Athanasius: 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 parameter [20:10] BlackWeb: to mount them in media and share them from there requires me to st unmount them and then remount them [20:10] they disappear from nautilus tho when I unmount them /o\ [20:10] dr3mro: ..comments like that are never helpful. [20:10] dr3mro: don't [20:11] Do you have fstab set up to mount them automatically [20:11] phong_, a printer like that probably supports ipp out of the box so select ipp [20:11] escott, i add the network printer in windows 7 with 2 seconds [20:11] wylde, why he says F word !!! [20:11] escott, nevermind [20:11] escott, thanks [20:11] very complicated ubuntu wow [20:11] dr3mro: so replying with a derogatory makes it right? [20:11] comment* [20:12] I'm not in a good mood, so play nice and keep the language clean. [20:12] wylde, Ok .. fine [20:12] guntbert: My son(jonbill) is 8. I don't want him storing inappropriate information. [20:13] phong_: I'ts actually not all that complicated if you don't think of things working like they do in windows and spend a little time reading up on what it is you want to accomplish. [20:13] how can I change my main admin password? [20:13] why when i play minecraft it always ends up having a black sreen? [20:14] lisa sudo passwd root [20:14] BlackWeb: don't advise on how to set a root password please [20:14] BlackWeb, thats all I type sudo passwd root? [20:14] BlackWeb: noooo.... don't do that [20:14] lisa_: just change your own password [20:14] lisa_ ya into a terminal [20:14] josten: I appreciate that reason - so we make it differently - please !pastebin the output of ls -ld /home/* (use a pastebin, its easier for me) [20:15] lisa_: we cannot support you if you are going to enable the root account [20:15] !root [20:15] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:15] lisa_: you don't want to change the admin password, you want to change your own if you have admin rights [20:15] or use the same command with the login on the back end you want to change [20:15] whenever I start ubuntu it asks for a password, but its very long and I to make a shorter 10 character password instead. how I do it properly and safely? [20:15] guntbert: i'm sorry, I don't know how to do that yet. [20:15] so "sudo passwd (login)" [20:15] Okay, second question. MBP again, F1..F12 are by default assigned to "special" keys (brightness, volume, etc) and only get interpreted as F## if the fn key is pressed. I prefer to keep that behavior, but fn+ctrl+alt+f1 to switch to VT1 seems to not work (I can switch about with ctrl+alt+(left,right)). Is there a way to make ctrl+alt+f1 work right? [20:15] BlackWeb: I'd suggest you stop....just saying. [20:15] !pastebin | josten [20:16] josten: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [20:16] alright lol [20:16] oh wait, scratch second question :< [20:16] is BlackWeb giving me wrong informtation? [20:16] lisa_: yes. [20:16] my computer just crashed and I had to press reset I want to know how to check file system before booting to ubuntu [20:16] guntbert: I'm trying...may take a few. [20:16] !fsck | fernando_ [20:16] fernando_: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [20:17] Myrtti, whenever I start ubuntu it asks for a password, and whenever I want to install a program it asks for a password. how do I change that password? [20:17] lisa_: your name or username shows in the right top corner? click that and "User Accounts..." on the bottom [20:17] I am using the gnome shell the one that is like the older version of gnome. So how do I move/remove the time bar? [20:17] Myrtti, i dont see any name or username shows in the right top corner [20:17] lisa_ sudo passwd (login) will allow you to change any users password on system [20:18] josten: next easy step - sudo apt-get install pastebinit [20:18] BlackWeb: how many times have we told you to stop giving bad advice? [20:18] Myrtti, how many different passwords are used? I only created one password [20:18] BlackWeb: to change your currently logged in password you don't need sudo [20:18] josten: tell me,, when you installed that littel program [20:18] lisa_: alright, which version of Ubuntu are you using? [20:18] Myrtti, 11.10 [20:19] yea true so passwd (login) [20:19] i have a question about BT5 can n e one help me ? [20:19] using sudo for the sake of using it, is almost as bad as running as root. [20:19] BlackWeb: no, without [login] [20:19] !backtrack | gd515 [20:19] gd515: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [20:20] guntbert: I went to the web site and pasted it [20:20] lisa_: alright, then if you click the ubuntu launcher button and type in user accounts, it should give you an option to launch the dialog [20:20] josten: ok, tell me the url [20:20] why when i play minecraft it always ends up having a black sreen? [20:20] Dont't we all have troubles on backtrack. lol [20:20] paste.ubuntu.com [20:20] gamafish , ya no joke [20:20] always something [20:20] jeramiah: does it get past the screen with the Mojang logo? [20:20] guntbert: I'm so sorry [20:20] josten: I need the complete url [20:21] I have an issue with it as well it is wifi and sound. lol [20:21] gunbert http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [20:21] josten: no worries, we will get it sorted :) [20:21] Anyone here had trouble with nvidia graphics cards and ubuntu? Seems my stereo rendering has gone haywire on me despite still being able ot utilize 3D (gaming) [20:21] Myrtti, i changed password top right, but when I changed it, the circles goes round and round anf seems to have frozen. what I do now? [20:21] superdave321: quiet [20:21] is there a way to copy files from a time machine generated backup using ubuntu (i can mount it but most files are spread over multible folders) [20:21] hi [20:21] gamafish: can you take the back track issues to #backtrack-linux please [20:21] guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com [20:22] is there an alternative to nautilus-elementary for 11.10? [20:22] josten: He needs the part after the URL [20:22] Eg: paste.ubuntu.xom/xxxxxyyyyy [20:22] *com [20:22] all right sorry for that. [20:22] josten: no, when you pasted that text into the website they processed it and told you an url with a number, I need that number [20:22] Myrtti, after changing password, the cirle icon moves round in circles, but the screen seems frozen. What has happened and is my changed password messed up now? [20:23] Bakctrack is fun :) [20:23] williamteder: but offtopic here [20:23] Correct. [20:23] Is there anyway I can clone my Ubuntu hard drive to another hard drive while it is running? Or will I need to use some sort of live cd? [20:23] But it's a fun distrobution. [20:23] guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/899611 [20:23] what's a good file browser for 11.10? [20:23] why when i play minecraft it always ends up having a black sreen? [20:23] Thunar. [20:23] williamteder: so let's move on instead of commenting on it [20:23] williamteder: thanks [20:23] jeramiah_: Does it show the mojang logo? [20:24] oh no:( changed password but the password screen stays ghosted and seems frozen :( What can I do now? [20:24] J-Escobar, depends on how the clone is done. a dd level must be done from a livecd, an rsync or normal cp can be done while mounted [20:24] williamteder, how does it compare to marlin? [20:24] mun; nautilus, thunar, pcmanfm, marlin? [20:24] Thunar is a very good lightweight file browser, comparable to natulius. Never used merlin, sorry :) [20:24] i really liked nautilus-elementary, but then it's no longer maintained. [20:24] Thunar is the default file browser on mythbuntu and xfce derivatives. [20:24] mun; marlin supersedes N-E [20:25] lisa_: your explanation doesn't really make the issue too clear, the best you can do is to wait - I'm sorry but I seem to have some connection troubles as well. You could try what was suggested earlier, to start a terminal window and type in 'passwd' without the backticks and change your password there [20:25] MrChrisDruif, i've tried marlin, but it doesn't even have a status bar. [20:25] Had to file most serious bug report (#964685) about the failure of basic Disability Accessibility functionality in 12.04. Not sure if bug report is in the right place. Any suggestions as to where it should be filed welcomed! [20:25] I like natulius, personally. With the fanzea icon theme it's beautiful. [20:25] !precise | Crippled [20:25] Crippled: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [20:25] escott: I am unable to boot to a live CD while these drives are connected. I am unfamiliar with rsync. Will the cloned drive be bootable afterward? [20:25] Myrtti, now it says an operating is in prpgress but its frozen :( Have I lost my login passwpord now??? [20:26] lisa_: if you have physical access to the computer, all is not lost even if you have [20:26] im running pinguy os but i dont have graphics drivers and it sucks cause my labtop has a readon x1200 [20:26] J-Escobar, if you copy files with rsync then no it will not be bootable [20:26] lisa_: try sudo passwd username [20:26] josten: now we ar playing :) in terminal type sudo chgrp -v wilburp /home/jonbill that should do what you want - give wilburp read access to jonbis*s files [20:26] any suggjestions [20:26] dustin_: this channel is Ubuntu support only [20:26] Myrtti, i explained... i followed your instructions, selected username top right, unlocked, changed password, but it's frozen up the screen at password page. [20:27] pinguy is ubuntu they just named it pinguy it ubuntu on steroids [20:27] J-Escobar, if you do a device to device dd copy as in "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb" then sdb should be bootable after its completed [20:27] escott: I want to be able to use the live cd, but it boots up to "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system." [20:27] dustin_: no, it is a non-supported derivative, offtopic for this channel [20:27] lisa_: Open a terminal (ctrl alt t) and type sudo passwd username [20:27] guntbert: thanks a bunch...sorry about all the lame mistakes. I'm ready Ubuntu Unleashed for 11.10 and 12.04. Very little exp with linux.

[20:28] Good. I feel useful. :) [20:28] i will reboot to make sure [20:28] if you dont see me again that means Ubuntu change password messed up :( [20:28] Command line options always beat the GUI alternatives, much more reliable. [20:28] williamteder: +1 [20:28] dont use the top right method everyone it freezes up [20:28] Lisa: Thats what the guest session is for :) [20:29] Lisa_: If you know enough information you might want to file a bug report. [20:29] why when i play minecraft it always ends up having a black sreen? [20:29] ubottu: the Ubuntu disk is fine. I used it to install Ubuntu and I have used other disks. I get the same error. I only received this error after installing a new hard drive. I think it has something to do with my motherboard configuration. but I have tried everything and can't get the live cd to boot normally. [20:29] jeremiah_: what graphics card are you using? [20:29] h [20:29] jeramiah_: I've said this 3 times now. Does it show the mojang logo? [20:29] williammanda: just for future reference sudo is not needed to cahnge the currently logged in users password. [20:29] J_escobar:ubottu is a bot. He won't respond. [20:29] errr williamteder [20:30] guntbert: thanks why I changed from windows to ubuntu..people helping each other....thanks again [20:30] williamteder, all I did was selected username top right, unlocked, changed password, but the screen wait icon kept circling and then the page frozen up [20:30] zykotic10, Not sure. I know it is onboard and that i can't get a driver for it for ubuntu [20:30] wylde: if you want an unsafe/short password it is [20:30] jeremiah_: "lspci | grep -i vga" would tell you [20:31] Hmm, might be worth a bug report try, if it's reproducible. [20:31] zykotic10, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M64-S [Mobility Radeon X2300] [20:31] zykotic10: fair nuff, if that's what you'd want. True. [20:31] williamteder, but sudo passwd username worked [20:31] jeremiah_: ATI = i won't help - good luck [20:31] williamteder, so its best to use CLI when possible it seems [20:32] OK, well the problem's solved regardless. [20:32] For sensitive operations like that, yes. [20:32] zykotic10, but it worked for me not long ago and then stopped. [20:32] how easy would it be for someone to break into my Ubuntu and gather my personal files in HOME if I am using a 10 character password? [20:32] I'm trying to insert a special caracter and I forgot how to press the keyboard combination something that activates the U+code [20:32] clean install of 11.10 with lvm, however, on boot the lvm partitions arean't activated/mounted unless I manually do vgchange -a y, would like to know how to automate this for every boot or how to go about sorting this issue? [20:33] lisa_: not easy at all, without physical access [20:33] lisa_, bad question. "password12" is pretty easy to guess [20:33] is there a program on Ubuntu that alterts me every 30 minutes to take a break? [20:33] escott, my password is "thedogatethecat" is that ok? [20:33] "_ [20:33] :) [20:33] jk ;) [20:33] lisa_: I believe there is, although I can't recall the package name atm. [20:33] 10 chars? [20:34] lisa_, there are a bunch. there is a gnome 3 shell extension on extensions.gnome.org but there are many others [20:34] Xabster, it was 18 characters but i changed it to 10 as it became too tedious to enter all the time [20:34] why when i play minecraft it always ends up having a black sreen? [20:34] escott, name ? [20:34] jeremiah_, did you update video drivers? [20:34] lisa_, don't remember. i think a lot of this shows up when you search for gtg [20:35] gtg? [20:35] lisa_, rather gtd "getting things done" [20:35] can i modify my ubuntu 11.10 for special effect without adding another repository to my system?

Seveas was talkingh about v12 last night saying its better :) [20:39] i can write you something in java, lisa_ [20:39] lisa_, workrave works on linux. [20:39] lisa_, how do i get that? [20:39] lisa_: don't recommend the beta version, it's still not stable [20:40] it's more stable than 11.10 :) === hermy|away is now known as hermy [20:40] can someone recomend a tutorial on how to get desktop sharing to work in 11.10 [20:40] SilfenX, define "desktop sharing" [20:40] can anyone help in setting up - Back in Time - backup program, when they talk about Main profile what do they mean, what do I put in there for it to work? [20:40] Xabster, thanks but surely there exists a program already in Ubuntu that remind me ever 30 minutes to take a break? [20:40] remote desktop connection? Shared keyboard/mouse? File sharing? [20:40] well, theres a feature called 'desktop sharing' in the OS [20:41] !info workrave [20:41] Package workrave does not exist in oneiric [20:41] anyone know of a text editor that supports multi tab and ability to colour and make bold text?

[20:42] everytime I run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade I get the response to the effect: 'everythings fine, nothing to download.' It's been like this for a couple of months.

[20:43] cordyceps, yes, that sounds either wrong or like you've enabled automatic updates [20:43] guntbert: what was that app you were talking about? [20:43] has anyone got VNC/desktop sharing to work properly under 11.10? [20:43] cordyceps, also, lubuntu is not variant we support in here I believe [20:43] guntbert: for pasting? [20:43] Seveas: how do I check, pls. [20:43] Xabster, gedit doesnt allow me to select a text and colour and bold it [20:43] nomodeset didn't work.

Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [20:44] Dimaxwell, openfire can do kerberos?! [20:44] Yes [20:44] ooh, must look at that [20:44] wylde, i got gedit loaded now, but I cannot bold and colour any text in the text file. How you do it? [20:44] * cordyceps seeing if there's such a thing as #lubuntu [20:44] I'm tryed and was succesfull [20:44] Dimaxwell, can it do kerberos against active directory? [20:45] anyone here got some up to date info on the open graphics project? did that project die? [20:45] yes, with active directory [20:45] Xabster, i got gedit loaded now, but I cannot bold and colour any text in the text file. How you do it? [20:45] can anyone help with set-up back in time backup program? [20:45] lisa_: my bad...had syntax highlighting in my head >.< it can't do what you're asking. [20:46] :( [20:46] Xabster, gvim or emacs cannot make bold or colour text either and dont support multi tab with many different text files open [20:46] Dimaxwell: there is a specific #openfire channel, which might be more helpful. [20:46] wylde, know any editor which can do multi tabs + bold + color? [20:47] how do you set up the app back in time [20:47] louiemat: please stop repeating [20:47] lisa_: I'm looking :) [20:48] sorry my firdt time [20:48] wylde, i would really love it and appreciate it if you find one for me. [20:48] oCean: Sorry, but in that channel nobody reply me [20:48] :) [20:48] wylde, I was looking all day yesterday without success [20:48] lisa_, the only thing I can come up with is "firefox + google docs" [20:49] Seveas, do you know any Ubuntu programmers personally that you could ask to write a multi tabs + bold + color editor for Ubuntu? :) [20:49] im surprised to be honest nothing exists yet [20:49] not ones that have spare time :) [20:49] Seveas, lol [20:49] =p [20:49] :) [20:50] Seveas, but surely one exists.. just gotta keep looking... maybe wylde can find one :) [20:51] lisa_: it's a shame libreoffice doesn't have tabs support >.< [20:53] wylde, yes I was thinjking about that last night [20:53] :( [20:53] hi [20:54] wylde: libreoffice would have been perfect if it supported muli tabs. Abiword doesnt do it either [20:54] beebee0011: hi right back at ya :) [20:54] im using 11.10 but all my menus are gone - unity is gone [20:54] beebee0011: whats unity? [20:54] lisa_: yeah was just checking on abiword... [20:54] lisa_, wylde, Perhaps the older version, openoffice? I don't know; never tried the 'tabs' thingy but it may be worth a look? [20:54] lisa_: trying to see if there's a plugin for abiword though [20:54] !unity [20:54] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [20:54] wylde: ty for helping me [20:55] lisa_: glad to help :) [20:55] wylde: :) [20:55] yesterday i uninstalled all ccsm stuff because system kept crashing to logon - this is the command i used: sudo apt-get remove compizconfig-settings-manager python-compizconfig compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-bcop compiz-fusion-plugins-main compizconfig-backend-gconf [20:56] but it automatically installed a whole lot of other stuff [20:56] kde i stuff i think [20:56] re-install the kubuntu-desktop package then [20:57] but i want unity [20:57] how can i get unity back? [20:57] beebee0011: are you using kde or unity ? [20:57] ive always been using unity [20:57] beebee0011: right, so why do you think it's removed kde stuff if you've not got kde installed ? === solid is now known as Guest59673 === Guest59673 is now known as cylonmath [20:58] Anybody experienced a very big ping on created Ad-Hoc network [20:58] ? [20:58] no - im saying that for some reason when i removed those items it said - 50mb more will be used - and whilst it was doing it i saw software stuff that looked like it might be kde [20:58] cylonmath: what ? [20:58] i have no idea why [20:58] I setup an adhoc network with static ip's using ubuntu, but i suffer 1000+ ping between machines [20:58] beebee0011: re-install the ubuntu-desktop package then [20:59] thank you... should this do: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [20:59] ? [20:59] cylonmath: what do you mean, you suffer 1000+ ping between machines [20:59] beebee0011: no, re-install [20:59] I chose to enrypt HOME folder on installation but the rest of the system is not encrypted and protected. Is there a program to clean out the cache etc to make sure my system is clean from prying eyes? [20:59] sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop? [21:00] ikonia: when i ping between machines i get 1000+ ping on most packages [21:00] ikonia: while some packages has 5ms [21:00] cylonmath: 1000+ ping ? [21:00] ikonia: More than 1000 ping [21:00] you mean ms time [21:00] most packages ? [21:00] yup sry [21:00] cylonmath: I'm sorry what you are saying makes no sense [21:00] cylonmath: do you mean "you get 1000ms repond when you ping a host" [21:01] Exactly [21:01] beebee0011: apt-get install --reinstall [21:01] cylonmath: probably poor network coverage [21:01] anyone know of a program that cleans out cache etc? === W4rl0ck- is now known as W4rl0ck [21:01] lisa_: cache of what ? [21:02] ikonia: of user activity. [21:02] lisa_: user activity in what though ? the web browser ? [21:02] hello does someone know openvz networking ? [21:02] ikonia: cant some actiity be stored somewhere? [21:02] ikonia: Two computers sitting near each other (Less than 1 meter) [21:02] ikonia: all activity [21:02] lisa_: bleachbit, but if you use it, you need to be careful what you let it do. It's capabale of causing issues if misused. [21:02] lisa_: don't worry about it - just use the machine [21:02] thanks ikonia [21:03] cylonmath: doesn't mean good coverage/connection [21:03] ikonia: thats not a helpful answer. [21:03] lisa_: if you are that paranoid, use a live CD. [21:03] cylonmath: the hardware you have may have poor adhoc support in linux [21:03] lisa_: it's realistic though [21:03] wylde: ok thats it. i remember someone talked about bleachbit yesterday [21:04] whats the best way to backup and restore if needed Ubuntu onto an external hdd? [21:04] list [21:04] ; [21:04] Rug: when I use web browers where does all the websites visited and data stored? [21:05] in the browser cache/history [21:05] within HOME or outside HOME? [21:05] On a Live CD? [21:05] in your home dir [21:05] lisa_: almost all of that information is inside your home folder [21:05] wylde: where would any private and senstive data be stored outside the HOME when it is? [21:05] lisa_: in hidden directories and files. (files and directory names that start with a .) [21:05] lisa_, unless you are running a proxy server it would be inside your $HOME [21:05] lisa_: its not [21:06] lisa_: none really is, other than passwords but those are stored encrypted anyway [21:06] ikonia: I was told yesterday by someone that sometimes private and senstive data may be stored outside HOME in cache etc. and to use bleachbit [21:06] lisa_: you where told wrong [21:06] wylde: ok so why did they create bleachbit? === ubuntu_ is now known as deicon [21:07] ikonia: so why do some people use the alternive install and encrypt the whole system and why did they write bleachbit etc? [21:07] lisa_: people enypt the whole system to stop people gaining access to their system [21:07] iam trying to install grub in my linux partition but when i execute the command i receive this:Not found or not a block device. [21:07] lisa_: bleachbit is a disk cleaner that can clean your home area or the whole disk, [21:07] bleachbit is dangerous and can break things if you don't pay attention to what it wants to remove. [21:08] ikonia: how can someone access my system seeing I encrypted HOME? [21:08] lisa_: because your non-home system is not encyrpted [21:08] lisa_: do you have security concerns ? [21:08] ikonia: but if nothing is stored outside HOME that is private or sensitive, why bother encrypting the whole system? [21:09] lisa_: because people don't want access to system data being available [21:09] lisa_: people have different needs than you [21:09] ikonia: yes because I have all my banking passwords etc stored in HOME [21:09] lisa_: ok, so you've encypted your home directory, problem solved [21:09] and personal information in HOME. I want to make sure im protected in case someone steals my laptop [21:09] lisa_: you'll be fine if you have encypted home [21:10] ikonia: so no websites visited, personal text files etc are ever stored outside HOME? [21:10] lisa_: correct [21:10] ok :) [21:10] lisa_: unless you manually moved them outside of home [21:10] ikonia: i just installed Ubuntu yesterday so im still learning :) [21:10] lisa_, things can leak through files in /tmp and the swap, but the swap is encrypted by default which leaves the /tmp. [21:10] escott: when I installed Ubuntu yesterday it never asked about creating a swap file [21:11] escott: where is the /tmp located and how can I clean it daily? [21:11] you shouldn't be worried about swap [21:11] Icons are showing on menus and buttons even though I have the options disabled under desktop -> gnome -> interface under gconf-editor. How can I disable these icons? [21:11] or /tmp for that reason [21:11] is there a file manager in ubuntu I can view my ubuntu hard drive and folders? [21:11] lisa_, in general encrypted home is probably good enough. if someone really wanted your passwords they would find other ways to get the data [21:11] lisa_: I suggest you view https://help.ubuntu.com to learn the basics of how to use ubuntu [21:12] wylde: any luck on the editor? :) [21:12] lisa_: you'll find it much easier to ask questions if you understand the basics of use [21:13] looking, I've yet to find any that use tabs AND Bolding/color [21:13] lisa_, you should try looking for some of these things yourself. open up synaptic or the software center and see what text editors are listed and then go to those websites and see what features they have [21:13] ikonia: ok [21:13] escott: okl [21:14] lisa_, This might also interest you, 'tis a little old but still pertinent: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [21:14] i found /tmp using file manager, theres heaps of files in there. can I safely remove them? [21:15] Sidewinder1: ok thanks :) [21:15] lisa_, My pleasure. :) [21:15] lisa_: no [21:15] why do you want to remove them, you don't even know what they do [21:15] lisa_: you could, but you could also encounter some form of system disruption... /tmp gets emptied on every reboot anyway [21:15] ikonia: so i should never delete files in /tmp? [21:16] lisa_: you've encypted home - you'll be fine [21:16] lisa_: just leave it there [21:16] irt [21:16] Gnea: ah good, so Ubuntu cleans it out anyway whenever I turn off or reboot? [21:16] ikonia: i will [21:16] lisa_: just about every form of unix/linux/bsd has [21:16] ok i really need to backup ubuntu before I mess it up and lose 24 hours of work.. whats best way to do it? [21:16] do you have an external hard disk ? [21:17] !backup ubuntu [21:17] ikonia: yes got one in USB port [21:17] pop a flash drive in, format it, copy stuff to it [21:17] !backup | lisa_ [21:17] or hard drive [21:17] lisa_: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [21:17] and Gnea has the answer [21:17] lisa_, When I migrated to ubuntu, I was a bit paranoid about security as well. Do a little reading and it'll all 'go away;. :) [21:17] ikonia: I would like to image the whole ubuntu onto external hdd. whats bext way? [21:17] Gnea: what do you mean? [21:17] I'm interested in finding a tutorial for the creation of gtk/gnome/xfce themes. I've made some progress parsing the themes already on my system, but only so far. Googling over the last couple days failed to turn up such a thing, only small snippets. [21:18] !btrfs | lisa_ [21:18] lisa_: Btrfs is a new filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is currently marked as experimental, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs [21:18] lisa_: have you never copied files to a flash drive before? [21:18] lisa_: imaging it is a bad idea [21:18] scientes: really ? btrfs [21:18] Sidewinder1: yeah first thing I was asking about yesterday was AV and antimalware software and some peple lol at me :P [21:18] well, snapshot ans imaging have alot in common [21:18] scientes: and it's totally unstable [21:18] Gnea: but if Ubuntu crashes, then I need to install it again... isnt there a way to restore an image instead? [21:18] scientes: we're looking for solid, proven methods here [21:18] scientes: so someone who's had less than 24 hour linux experience, you're suggesting using btrfs on [21:18] what is the command to move a directory into another? [21:19] ikonia: so clonezilla is a bad idea? [21:19] lisa_: not really [21:19] !backup [21:19] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [21:19] well lisa_ really shouldn't be looking towards clong [21:19] lisa_: well sure, there is [21:19] and just backup home directory [21:19] lisa_: clonezilla is good [21:19] scientes: why ? [21:19] lisa_, We all had to start somewhere; you'll be totally comfortable in a relatively short period of time.. [21:19] scientes: why should she not use clonezilla to take a system image ? [21:19] scientes: that's not really your call. [21:20] lisa_, in general backing up the system files is not useful. if you hardware fails its not likely you will put a new disk in the same hardware and have everything identical to what it was before. so better to backup your /etc with etc-keeper, and use !clone and backup your $HOME [21:20] scientes: so what you recommend.. lets say I really mess up ubununtu,,, whats fastest and best way to get up and running again with all HOME content replaced? [21:20] lisa_: clonezilla would do just fine, particularly if you're used to it already [21:20] escott: i dont follow, thats complicated what you said,. im confused [21:21] Gnea: ive never used it, someone mentioned it last night [21:21] lisa_, well if you only installed programs from the repos, then you only need to backup your dpkg status database, /etc and /home [21:21] iam trying to install grub in my linux partition but when i execute the command i receive this:Not found or not a block device [21:21] for something much quicker than backing up all the binaries [21:21] lisa_: you want a clone of the system, use clonezilla it's simple and clean [21:21] scientes: but then I need to reinstall Ubuntu if somethiong goes wrong, right? [21:21] lisa_: you want something else, - say what you want [21:21] bu yeah you can back up the whole thing too [21:21] ikonia: ok [21:21] lisa_: it's awesome. just put it on a cd or dvd and boot it up... if you have an external hdd, you can easily do exactly what you want to do with it [21:21] lisa_, Search and find "grsync" a GUI for the command rsync. Then back up your /home. The ubuntu OS is readily.. [21:22] available [21:22] lisa_, GNU/Linux aka ubuntu, is not finickey like windows on booting, it will boot from anything, and copy to anywhere [21:22] ikonia: well I wanted to restore my Ubuntu if something goes wrong... otherwise I need tgo start all over again installing programs and restoring my HOME from scratch [21:22] scientes: read what she said: she wants to back the WHOLE thing up. [21:22] Gnea: ok clonezilla sounds the go :) [21:22] lisa_: use clonezilla and take an image, keep it simple [21:22] lisa_, suppose your laptop hardware fails in some way. what will you do? replace the failed piece of hardware or just buy a new laptop... more likely the later, so use the backup utilities to backup $HOME, and use !clone to record what you installed and install and use etc-keeper to backup special changes you might make to /etc [21:22] ikonia: ok [21:23] lisa_: I've used clonezilla to backup/restore multiple linux and windows systems, it's a pretty solid system [21:23] I'm trying to completely remove fglrx and re-install the opensource radeon drivers. Following these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver . This used to work, but now when I try to do it, Ubuntu doesn't recognize any video adapter after restart. [21:23] lisa_, Better yet, listen to ikonia ! [21:23] escott: that sounds good but the problem is I cannot understand what you said [21:23] Sidewinder1: hehe [21:23] lisa_: my CEO was quite happy when her desktop computer was back online with all of her files the way they were within 2 days :) [21:23] Gnea: sounds the simple way :) so I download the ISO burn to CD, boot CD and backup ubuntu? [21:23] lisa_: yup [21:24] Gnea: do yoiu have the exact file link I need pls? [21:24] lisa_: just google clonezilla and go to the webpage and download the latest [21:24] ok [21:24] lisa_, you should never download something from a webpage. clonezilla is in apt [21:25] !info clonezilla | lisa_ [21:25] lisa_: Package clonezilla does not exist in oneiric [21:25] escott: wrong. [21:25] the ISO of clonezilla is not in apt [21:25] escott: we're not talking about installing it to use within ubuntu - but to use outside of ubuntu [21:25] Gnea: is this the one I need? http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/latest/download?source=files === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [21:26] lisa_: that ought to do it [21:26] That looks like it, lisa. Download it, burn it, boot from it. The instructions in the software are fairly straightforward too. [21:26] I use clonezilla myself and it works great. [21:26] Gnea: ok cool [21:27] haux: ok:) [21:27] brb [21:27] hello all [21:27] * Gnea wonders how many people try to help others in this channel without actually KNOWING what it is that they're doing? [21:28] Gnea, quite a few I'm sure. [21:28] Gnea, ok i see [21:28] I'm trying to completely remove fglrx and re-install the opensource radeon drivers. Following these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver . This used to work, but now when I try to do it, Ubuntu doesn't recognize any video adapter after restart. Any suggestions? [21:29] when I burn the ISO, do I choose "Replace Disc" or "Blank Disc" when using Brasero? [21:29] Gnea-do you know anything about BackInTime backup? [21:29] louiemat: I do not. [21:29] hello [21:29] lisa_: is it a CDR or CDRW? [21:29] haux, did you delete/move /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [21:29] gena-thanks [21:29] louiemat: whats BackInTime backup? [21:29] flash in mozilla or chrome is not displaying arabic letters properly [21:29] Gnea: its a DVD [21:29] DVD -RW [21:29] lisa_: if it's never been written to yet, then blank disc is probably safe [21:30] is Brasero the best ISO burnign sw? [21:30] dlentz, no. [21:30] Gnea: its got Ubuntu 11 on it :) [21:30] lisa_: I prefer k3b, but brasero works [21:30] lisa a back up app in ubuntu [21:30] i need to overwrite it [21:30] anyone?

I've got one bar at the top with menues, date/time and systray, and one bar at the bottom with viewports and running programs. I'd like to not have the bottom one.. [23:03] ubottu: do bots also have feelings? :D [23:03] fagju: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:03] Slartibart right click on an empty part of the bar and delete [23:04] You may want to move some of the stuff that bar before you delete it though. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [23:05] Do you guys know if the proprietary AMD/ATI driver is needed for most stuff or can I just stay with the one that came with Ubuntu? [23:05] where does rhythmbox keep metadata? [23:05] like playlists and stuff [23:05] CFHowlett: Thanks, but the problem is nothing happens when I right click on an empty part :-[ [23:06] Slartibart: alt+right click (or perhaps alt+super+right click) [23:06] sdubois: possibly in ~/.rhytmnbox or in ~/config somewhere [23:07] argrubbs: if you are happy with the open driver, use it [23:07] How can I have a different background on each monitor? [23:07] ActionParsnip, is there any situations where one would install the others drivers? [23:08] I'm trying to execute a file with extension desktop from the desktop [23:08] from the termianl [23:08] and I get error how to execute desktop files [23:08] Morning, all! [23:09] argrubbs: if you want 3D gaming, or if video playback performs badly [23:09] fernandocueva, "chmod +x file" [23:09] apt-get dist-upgrade reckons it'll take 805d to finish downloading linux-headers-2.6.32-40. [23:09] ./file [23:09] fernandocueva: why do you want to do that? [23:09] I've added mirror lines to the top of /etc/apt/sources.list, with no result. [23:09] Any ideas? [23:10] garthk: grab apt-fast [23:10] Okay, I was gonna play Minecraft, so I should probably install the AMD/ATI drivers. Thanks for the info! [23:10] hmm, how do I know in which port vncserver is running? [23:10] jrib, because I want to see the error messages [23:11] I am able to access it by going to hostname:1 but not as hostname:5901 nor hostname:5900 [23:11] argrubbs: try with the open drivers if you want, see how it goes :) [23:11] andresmh: can you ping the name? [23:11] ActionParsnip, good point. If they work then no sense in installing the others. :) [23:11] andresmh: it will be 5800 or 5900 [23:11] argrubbs: its free to try [23:12] fernandocueva: try executing from the gui and then read ~/.xsession-error [23:12] fernandocueva: try executing from the gui and then read ~/.xsession-errors [23:12] or tail ~/.xsession-error and start the app :) [23:12] -f ;) [23:12] ActionParsnip: yes. You know, I am able to authenticate to it via host:1, but when i try to authenticate via host:5901 i do get prompted for password but it fails to authenticate (same u/p) [23:13] opp my bad, yes -f [23:13] Thanks, ActionParsnip. Trying it now. [23:13] andresmh: why are you connecting via VNC, what are you doing on the remote system? [23:13] garthk: apt-fast = apt-get + axel [23:14] ActionParsnip: I want to be able to compile some R code and see the plots. The remote server is much better hardware. [23:14] andresmh: do you compile in CLI? [23:14] ActionParsnip: also, i am only able to use Win7 on my desktop. So I want to be able to use full blown Ubuntu remotely. [23:14] andresmh: do you actually need gui access or can it be completed through ssh and sftp for file access? [23:15] wylde, ActionParsnip: it can be done via ssh,ftp but i'd be more productive using Gnome [23:16] andresmh: how so? [23:16] <_Marcus> Who is the artist of the default backgrounds in Ubuntu? [23:16] _Marcus: the community [23:17] <_Marcus> I like the backgrounds, and want more from that person [23:17] andresmh: just wondering, sometimes you can get much better results NOT using VNC. :) Oh, and you'll be accessing it over the public internet? If so you may want to tunnel vnc through ssh if so. Just a thought. [23:17] ActionParsnip: heh, is this an interview :) You see, there is this GUI-friendly version of R called Rstudio that does all sorts of nice things. [23:17] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Oh. Is that as exact as it gets? [23:17] wylde: yeah , i'd like to do it via ssh [23:17] andresmh: ahhh if there is a GUI app then it makes sense, 9 times in 10 what users do over VNC can be done faster via other means :) [23:17] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Is there a site containing any more backgrounds like that? [23:18] _Marcus: there is a competition each release for the default artwork [23:18] what ActionParsnip said :) [23:18] I want to do certain modifications how the i386 file loads like in windows' shortcut from a .desktop file I want to add +set fs_game q3ut4 to the launcher can I do that in linux === wgas is now known as wgas|zzz [23:18] _Marcus: there may be credits in the package or maybe a man page... [23:18] _Marcus: could contact the ubuntu artwork team [23:18] fernandocueva: edit the Exec= line [23:18] <_Marcus> ActionParsnip: Do they have an IRC room, or do I have to email them? [23:19] _Marcus: i'd check on launchpad [23:19] andresmh: ...is the gui a standalone app? could you ssh -X servername and execute the gui by forwarding the x-server? [23:19] _Marcus search for artwork-extra packages... [23:19] wylde: maybe, why is it so bad to use VNC? [23:19] andresmh: less grapics data to pass over the network will make it more respopnsive :) [23:20] <_Marcus> andresmh: If you have a slower connection, VNC isn't recommended. [23:20] wylde: and BTW, I am on win7, so setting up X might be a pain. [23:20] ActionParsnip: I'm still stuck at 805d despite apt-fast. Any ideas? https://gist.github.com/2201382 [23:20] andresmh: I find VNC awful for anything that requires much in the way of graphic content [23:20] I am on a fast connection [23:20] andresmh: its a lot of data when usually its not needed. Also VNC has zero security so using it over WWW isn't a good idea [23:20] garthk: try a different server [23:20] I am happy to use it over SSH [23:20] I just don't know how [23:21] that's why i am here [23:21] andresmh: ahh ok, but not impossible I used to remote into my debian box using cygwin xserver, mind you that was a lot of years ago. [23:21] so far i was able to start vncserver and connect to it remotely [23:21] but i had to turn of firewall [23:21] so not ideal [23:21] i am trying to: a) figure out how to do it via ssh b) how to start gnome and all once i am inside [23:22] andresmh: configure the firewall to allow the port === B is now known as Guest9251 [23:22] andresmh: if you ssh with the -X option, you can run GUI apps and they will show on the client, but be running on the server (like citrix) [23:22] ActionParsnip: how do i do that? the firewall configuration process looks very scary. Plus, wouldn't it be better if I use ssh tunnel? [23:22] andresmh, you want to use vnc via ssh? its easy, just ssh to the other machine, and add parameter: -L5900:localhost:5900 - then connect vnc to your local machine [23:22] nibbler_: how do i do that using putty? [23:23] nibbler: actually i figured it out [23:23] andresmh, there is a tunnel option aswell in putty, use local (that is -L) and enter the rest like i told you [23:23] now when i do: telnet localhost 5900 and it responds [23:23] but it doesn't let me authenticate into VNC [23:23] can someone here help me with a question about bash getopts ? [23:23] (using the vnc client) [23:24] when i pass an option at the commandline, i want the remainder of the script to *not* run [23:24] i am wondering if i need to configure the vnc server so it lets me get in via localhost/ssh tunnel [23:24] as i have it now, the script runs, calculates the option, displays it, and continues through the rest of the script [23:24] how do i stop it in its tracks ? [23:24] jim___, | #bash [23:24] andresmh, but this should.... work..... - and if you go via a WAN link, make sure to use zlib compression, that might speed it up a lot [23:24] if i add 'exit' it works fine, but then im not able to pass 2 options at the same time [23:24] it just quits after processing the first opton [23:25] !ot | jim___ [23:25] jim___: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:25] jim___: sure you can, just use $1 and $2 to represent the first and second args respectively [23:25] jim___: $0 is the number of arguments sent, so you can have logic on that value to see if it needs to run the second part (if i'm reading this right) [23:26] ActionParsnip, the problem seems to be security.ubuntu.com rather than us.archive.ubuntu.com. Is it safe to switch from security.ubuntu.com to some other site? [23:26] ActionParsnip: jim___: $0 is the name of the script, $# is the number of arguments. [23:26] Jordan_U: gah, thought it dodn't look right. Was head scratching. Thanks [23:26] For the Irony: I suspect the real problem is a proxy server trying to virus-scan the update. [23:26] ActionParsnip: You're welcome. [23:27] garthk: comment it out and update the rest, maybe its being worked on [23:28] Hi guys [23:28] gasti greetings [23:28] so can someone answer my first question? how do i know/configure the port for the svnserver ? [23:28] :) [23:28] Self-answer: everything is signed, so I can switch to any mirror, if only temporarily. [23:28] Cheers, ActionParsnip. [23:28] Guys, i'm having a real bad time with the sound in ubuntu [23:28] hey peep's [23:29] Would someone help me?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [23:29] thanks ActionParsnip and Jordan_U [23:30] jim___: You're welcome. [23:31] I have already search my problem on google, but could not find the solution. Here I go: First of all, when I stop a youtube video (or resume) the volume stops like 1 second later (It's really annoying). Second: My microphone works perfect on windows, but here in ubuntu doesn't. There is a heavy noise when i talk. [23:31] what is the best browser to run on lubuntu? [23:31] andresmh: once you know the port the server is running on you will have to configure your router/firewall to allow that port to pass through. (Port Forwarding). The setup will vary depending on your hardware/software. [23:31] !bestsheenzz [23:31] !best|sheenzz [23:31] sheenzz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.
