Any tips to get around it ? [00:10] any ideas? I really need this to build some packages [00:10] i've even changed the mirror to archive.ubuntu.com [00:10] lesshaste, what [luk]ubuntu 11.10 ?

[00:14] this is rediculous [00:14] wow, thank got for Xfce [00:15] I don't have to stay on 10.04 [00:15] okay, I don't get it, how do I add a damn server on xchat-gnome [00:15] there's no option for it anywhere o_O [00:16] lesshaste, under nvidia-settings look look around there is a detect monitors or something like that but like I said above about one of my computers out of 3 that run nvidia needs nouvuea [00:16] oh found it...

[00:17] Which network do you want to add the channel in? Freenode?

[00:19] lesshaste, can you take a screenshot ? [00:19] !screenshot | lesshaste [00:19] lesshaste: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [00:19] bobweaver, of nvidia-settings?

I cold boot, login and the sound works just fine. I logout, log back in and no soumd. The only way I have managed to get sound working again is to cold boot again? I have no idea where to start to fight this problem, google has no help === itsnotme is now known as xanibas [00:40] \ [00:40] thanks [00:41] nightrid3r: if you prefer the 'freer' blend, there's freenx, but that's what you want i think [00:41] ok [00:41] nightrid3r: builds are available here: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1 [00:42] nightrid3r: freenx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [00:42] Hi [00:43] Any similar software available in ubuntu in lines with putty connection manager which has multiple tabs [00:43] this doesn't matter much, but when I login in 11.10 (removed unity and installed gnome) all the icons in the panel are squished together (they overlap a little), if I move the mouse over them they straighten out and stay the way they should look. Does anyone know why this might be or what the fix might be? I don't really mind that much but I'm curious as to why it is. [00:43] Someguy123: Thanks. - this fixed my issue - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-installer-cant-find-my-sata-drive/ [00:43] bastidrazor, thanks [00:43] kaushal: screen or tmux, it's called terminal multiplexing [00:44] ejv: i mean gnome-connection-manager === theborger is now known as LordH3lment [00:44] kaushal: i have no idea what that is, sorry [00:44] I need to install libftdi >=0.17 from source.

[00:49] ejv: I have done it, but it won't be recognized when trying to install a package that depends on it. Read my previous again. [00:50] Or is this not the correct channel? [00:50] Pilot200hrWonder: It quits if you log out and back in again? hummm... I dono. Why is it "quiting"? [00:50] Have tried installing libftdi from source package. Everything seems OK until I try installing a package that depends on this lib. Then apt-get says it lacks the dependency and libftdi won't be installed. [00:51] Pilot200hrWonder: Or what exactly is quitting? Is it just being muted? Or....? [00:51] Pilot200hrWonder: Fire up alsamixer and see what's going on. [00:51] No as in no sound is coming out [00:51] alsamixer has all the channels 100% and nothing muted [00:52] I am running it through HDMI [00:52] Pilot200hrWonder: What audio source are you trying to play, and what audio player ..?

[01:31] did you make a seperate partiton for /home and /boot or use whole disk? [01:31] I already had the separate partitions.

[01:35] DasEi: Right...that's the list of avail DT environs when i log in...but I need to RESET the one for the user I'm currently on...the new user I created was able to log in to a unity dt just fine...but aparently some settings are goofed for THIS user so I need to kinda either delete whatever files are holding those settings or something [01:36] mkultra_: regular fonts have Omega, W, Beta, Alpha, etc. [01:36] luxgeek: so either reconfigure gdm from the old, borked user or rsync the old homefolder and own it to the new user [01:36] really? [01:37] Is it possible to get semi-transparent gnome panels in ubuntu 12.04? [01:37] DasEi: I was actually wondering if I just deleted the diff .profile files if new ones would just get created? [01:37] luxgeek, ls -a and delete the dot-directories [01:37] Ω [01:37] NFisher: yes it is, it's somewhere in apperance [01:37] Is it possible to update 11.10 to 12.04 through termianl yet [01:38] i dont think so simononlaptop [01:38] Anyone familiar with nfs4 kerberos autofs home directories? I read that there's a bug in Ubuntu with this, anyone have experience? [01:38] simononlaptop: yes it is , see: [01:38] sparky-: Dang sparky, I dont want to delete ALL the dot dirs :P [01:38] NFisher: alt+right click to edit the panels, also 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 please [01:38] !dist-upgrade [01:38] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed.

That helps alot :) [01:39] NFisher: sometimes you need to alt+super+right click (if you are using compiz) [01:40] trism, doesnt either [01:40] My lxde environ works fine, it's just the various ubuntu desktops that are borked and ONLY on this user. [01:40] sparky-: Wouldn't that "break" other stuf too? [01:41] sparky-: I'm not trying to be argumentative in any way...just cautious :) [01:41] NFisher: are you sure you're using gnome classic? if so make sure to click on an empty area of the panel [01:41] nah, but you would lose customization :-) nowadays I use chrome and my bookmarks and apps are in the cloud [01:41] sparky-: Ubuntu cloud? [01:42] so deleting desktop dot-dirs don't bug me as much [01:42] Ok this also has been bugging me, i always get errors with system v utilities updates [01:42] sparky-: I ask because I've use it myself...hadn't thought of putting those there. [01:42] trism, ok thy had to deactivate annotation-feature in compiz-config... can you tell me where i can change the away from that dark theme? [01:42] i wanted to use Human. [01:42] sparky-: How can I set it so those get syncd without having to export them first? [01:42] NFisher: human hasn't been ported to gtk3 yet (at least not the one in the repo) [01:43] chrome can now sync bookmarks on different computers if you log into google account [01:44] trism, yeah, because since i wanted the panels to be transparent it looks very odd when the Application und User-Status Panel are still black [01:45] luxgeek, so first you'd log into google acct on the machine with the most important bookmarks, sync to cloud, then you'd gloom on more bookmarks from other machines and overtime as you clean up, you'd have nice sync'd bookmarks [01:45] sparky-: That's nothing new, been doing that with foxmarks for years' [01:46] usr13, right but this does not need extension and besides it's chrome :-). I don't run Firefox anymore [01:46] and it works on android too [01:48] sparky-: Except I use firefox :/ [01:48] :-) [01:49] sparky-: Also thought of something else...deleting all the dot dirs would kill my wine and my lxde stuff to wouldn't it? [01:49] sparky-: lkde customization stuff I mean [01:49] yeah, it's the elephant gun when all else fails [01:49] * lxde === rinzler is now known as d-_-b [01:50] bbl [01:50] sparky-: Well...then there should be a way to just kill the diff ubuntu session stuff I would think [01:50] sparky-: Or keep the lxde and wine stuff at least :P [01:51] sparky-: Nvm on the wine...I should be able to delete the rest except the .wine folder ...just need to figure out how to keep the lxde settings... [01:52] Anyone ELSE play/trying to play WoW in wine?

[02:12] sparky-: Easy to say...harder to do :P [02:14] hi everyone. im runnin 10.04 64 bit and cant get broadcom wireless drivers to install. [02:15] sparky-: Ok...going to relog (only deleted the ones that the new user created...we'll see) [02:15] how can i send data back and forth between two scripts with a coprocess? [02:17] it says please have a look at the log file for details. [02:20] sparky-: Well...that got unity working...wonder how borked my lxde will be :P [02:22] hey, since the last software updates I applied in 11.10 it broke my sound. Any clues as to how I can turn it back on? [02:25] I suppose the answer to my question is no :( [02:25] What is theissue? === Afteraffekt is now known as Afterraff` [02:25] No sound at all?

[02:39] scott_z: if you are compiling, libglib2.0-dev [02:40] Earlier today i tried to install linux mint 9 on a friend computer [02:40] when i tried to update all hell broke loose [02:40] i guess it was because the iso was out of date (it has not been updated since release) [02:41] I am downloading ubuntu 10.04.4; so my question is. Is that iso updated; does it allows me to do a complete dist-update without problems? [02:42] He has an old computer, so Unity would run kind of slow (He already has 10.10 installed in other computer) === Guest33146 is now known as Glass === Glass is now known as Guest31981 [02:43] i would rather use 11.10 and compile the kerne with a slow computer in mind [02:43] !dist-upgrade | Guest31981 [02:43] Guest31981: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [02:44] well that was a typo [02:44] Guest31981, dist-upgrade is not a version upgrade [02:44] but, the problem is that when i tried to dist-upgrade the mint 9 all hell broke loose [02:44] and i am not that experienced to fix it be myself [02:44] yeah do it from iso [02:45] i am expecting that the 10.4.4 will go out smoother [02:45] Guest31981, we dont support mint here, not sure why you are mentioning mint [02:45] because mint 9 is based on ubuntu 10.04 [02:45] make a /boot and /home and / partition [02:45] it would be similar to make a complete dist-updgrade from a 10.04.0 iso [02:46] Guest31981, again dist-upgrade does NOT mean version upgrade [02:46] yes i know [02:46] (english is not my first language) [02:47] so whats your first language? gaelic?

[02:49] in other words, i just want to know if the 10.0.4.4 iso comes with some of the updates preinstalled (so the dist-upgrade would go smoother) [02:50] Guest31981, a point release would start out up to date, so there would be no dist-upgrade [02:50] I'm trying to grep an expression using -w, but the expression "host" is matching "host-something".

I want to creeate a bootable version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Now as the creator finished, and i tried to boot from the USB-Stick the following Error occurred (i created it 2 times by now, same error): "Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot ; vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image ; boot:" what do i do?!? [02:54] NFisher, #ubuntu+1 for that please [02:54] bazhang, but its 10.04.04 LTS?! [02:54] 10.04.4* [02:55] hmm [02:55] NFisher, within 12.04 I thought your message said [02:55] looks like syslinux unable to find an image [02:55] corrupt USB disk? [02:55] bazhang, yah, im not sure if 12.04 is the prob... [02:55] is there a way to checksum test it? [02:56] NFisher, the startup disk creator is from 12.04? [02:56] bazhang, yes [02:57] NFisher, that'd be #ubuntu+1 for support and discussion then === spacebug is now known as spacebug- [02:57] bazhang, ok, thx!

[02:59] bazhang: I am going to read the guide. If I have any problems, I can ask in this channel, right? [03:00] denysonique, about packaging? sure, though the packaging people would probably be more helpful in this regard [03:00] I'm upgrading from 10.04 to new Beta and wonder why downloading goes slower when I'm watching it ;-) [03:00] bazhang: what do you think about my software btw? [03:02] E3D3: 10.04 has a few known latency bugs - it depends heavily on the type of network card you have [03:04] maindotc: Thanks, its just that I have little patience and really looking forward to it. Everything seems still okay. Sorry to confuse you. [03:04] E3D3 you have no right to make accusations I'm not confused thank you very much [03:05] :-) [03:05] yeah 10.04 is derelict, try 12.04 beta, report bugzzz [03:12] The world needs bugs, bunnies and Ubuntu.

[03:14] Hello [03:14] How do I test whether apparmor is enabled? [03:14] lesshaste: you could, but it's not magic. read /etc/sudoers to see why "admin" works [03:15] sparky-, I just read it .. it didn't seem very helpful [03:16] Braden`: service apparmor status ? [03:16] test [03:17] How do I add an exception for mysqld? [03:17] lesshaste: your file doesn't have the comment "members of the admin group ..."? [03:18] lesshaste: or read man visudo [03:18] emmm..

[03:23] waynewang, you mean it is a stream? [03:23] lesshaste: no it's not. %admin means "admin unix group" [03:23] sparky-, ok! [03:23] that was unclear! [03:23] yes [03:24] waynewang, have you tried just doing mplayer url ?

[03:50] onoez_omg, #ubuntu+1 for that [03:50] thx [03:51] onoez_omg: from that error I'm guessing your wifi driver doesn't support master mode [03:52] sacarlson, it works with the same modules as on 11.04 how comes it stopped supporting master mode, what error messages push u to such conclusion? [03:53] onoez_omg: you should be able to verify manualy if you can put the device in master mode, I'm just guessing from what I see [03:54] onoez_omg: I had the same problem with my raylink driver in 2008 it had master mode now today in 2012 it no longer does [03:55] hi hello, anybody helps, why am I receiving winmail.dat attachment? [03:55] i'm using evolution (e-mail client) [03:55] sacarlson, the only thing that differs now is that i upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10, it was working flawlessly before, it switches to master mode by hostapd and can't be switched to it manually (at least i don't know the proper way to do that) [03:55] how do i reformat a hard drive in the terminal? [03:56] onoez_omg: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 [03:56] onoez_omg: so run the old kernel in 12.04 then [03:56] tintoy, the email most likely originated from a microsoft outlook client, sending emails in rtf, non outlook clients usually end up with the winmail.dat [03:56] Ben64, thanks, i already know, but sacarlson probably have some tips, is it restricted to talk about 12.04 here completely? [03:57] onoez_omg: if you don't know how to put it in master mode doesn't mean it can't be [03:57] depends on if an angry op sees you or not [03:58] onoez_omg: if they have any complaints you can PM to continue but then I'll miss helping others here [03:58] Wingede: thanks for that info! [03:58] its not restricted to talk about 12.04 but if your gonna do it alot do it in #ubuntu+1 [03:58] mkultra_, i'm trying with no luck [03:58] tintoy, welcome [03:59] less than a month till it will be in this channel [04:00] sacarlson, i was install ubuntu 11.10 but I did formart to my hard disc, and runing on 11.10, my speackers was use === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding [04:00] sorry if I had a problem with my sintaxis [04:00] I don't speack english weell [04:00] Unmounting your hard drive while you're still using it is a bad thing, right?

Thanks y'all [04:02] it's a little difucult of explaint I had some troblues with my past OS [04:02] tintoy, there was a plugin for evolution a wee while back, called TNEF - not sure if it still exists but enabling the plugin in evolution allowed you to view === dan3son is now known as danielson2 [04:02] upset, define add a partition. you mean resize an existing one?

[04:04] my main problem is my speackers [04:04] the: did you research your sound device from results in lspci ; to see if other had problems with it? [04:05] the: oh the sound comes out the headphones? [04:05] sarcar, lspci detect my speacker [04:05] the: detect is not always working [04:05] my headphones are used [04:06] the pci speakers?

[04:12] sacarlson, i was trying to say that after some point, due to changes in some mechanisms, it should be set to master mode like this `iw phy phy0 interface add wlan0 type master` but iw stops saying that i have "... to run a management daemon, e.g. hostapd ..." [04:12] Hello all, for the life of me I cannot get two computers on my home network to sync files. It simply wont work. I am trying ssh, putty connects fine up unison is giving me issues. Any ideas? Thanks [04:12] so it was switching flawlessly at 11.10 [04:13] onoez_omg: you can play with it manualy with sudo iwconfig; try man iwconfig to see if you can put it in master mode [04:14] now hostapd fails to launch, but i'm not sharing ur opinion on the root of problem [04:14] sacarlson, iwconfig is no longer designed to switch it to master mode [04:14] soz 4 my english btw (if matters) [04:14] hello [04:14] so.. i realy don't understan xD, I'm a little confuse [04:14] onoez_omg: that means the driver is no longer supporting master mode [04:14] do i post it in ubuntu page? [04:14] the paste.ubuntu.com the output from terminal lspci [04:14] sacarlson, no it doesnt mean that, because it was the same way at 11.10 [04:15] because it is the same driver [04:15] anelyze greetings [04:15] the: I think it's a mixer setting try all the check boxes and it will probly work [04:15] Greetings [04:15] and personally i can't see still what makes u think that there is something wrong with rt2860 driver [04:16] guess what I going to ubuntu 11.10 there it works [04:16] onoez_omg: oh I'm not sure then, maybe hostapd doesn't need master mode? adhoc might work [04:16] Hello there. I need help coding some sort of program to run a single Ubuntu command (init.d script). Anyone have any pointers? [04:16] Oh, the program needs to be run on Windows. [04:16] error messages make me think that there is something wrong with hostapd [04:16] the.... install 11.10 with the 'alternate' iso [04:17] pmp6nl, if you can ping each box from one another ok I would check if there is no firewall stopping things - at least that will eliminate networking [04:17] almoxarife, I going to do that [04:18] the... and the nick? [04:18] please the.......daadda [04:18] onoez_omg: I hope you looked at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode [04:18] Wingede, thanks for the tip, i can ping each box [04:18] almoxarife, what?? [04:18] sacarlson, i'm familiar with described things [04:18] Rawr [04:18] onoez_omg: and you see "AP" in that list then? [04:19] anelyze, ubuntu support question? [04:19] the... noticed that tab complete worked with my nick??? try that with yours [04:19] sacarlson, iw shows it supports ap mode obviously [04:19] pmp6nl, any firewalls enabled on the boxes? [04:19] onoez_omg: ok sounds like it's not the driver then the new bug must be in hostap, time to backup to 11.10 [04:19] Wingede, IDK, whats the best way to check? [04:20] onoez_omg: or just write your own script to setup an access point, it's not that hard [04:20] pmp6nl, at consoles sudo iptables -L [04:21] almoxarife, could you please explein me that?? I really don't undestand [04:21] the sad thing is that ubuntu channel +1 is dead :/ [04:21] i can't figure out if i should to write bug report [04:21] onoez_omg, dude the sad thing is the channel in spanishn doný work [04:22] the.........., nothing, nevermind, all is good [04:22] pmp6nl, 3 chains - if they are all are accept it pretty much rules firewalls out also [04:22] the, i don't speak spanish [04:22] Wingede, that is what they say [04:23] Wingede, its odd that putty works but I cannot ssh in via terminal or use rsync [04:23] onoez_omg: something like this (but this looks old) you can setup shareing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [04:23] onoez_omg, i do, and it's a little dicult to me this [04:23] hey guys [04:23] what is used to collect data from an .inf file to create a driver?

In Ubuntu they work for a Dell 15R but in another distro that I'd like to also run they don [04:24] sacarlson, google tranlate sucks! [04:24] don't... [04:25] onoez_omg, you can do nothing [04:25] Wingede, yes, I am trying anyway. I dont care how they sync, I just want them to sync over the network [04:25] So i'm trying to figure out how Ubuntu controls the backlight F key adjustements in Ubuntu... [04:25] the: so you don't know what a checkbox is in a gui ? [04:25] Xgates probably via hardware specific plugins. At least that's what my dell 1545 shows... [04:25] pmp6nl, perhaps http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-unison-file-synchronization-between-two-servers-on-ubuntu-11.10 can help [04:26] sacarlson: I am actually impressed with google translation, I have not figured out if they are doing literal or have little google-gnomes in the back doing long hand translation. btw, that would be the job I would quit to work in a salt mine, god I hated translating [04:26] Xgates try this in a terminal: locate dell [04:26] CFHowlett: what you mean software/firmware that Ubuntu installs? [04:26] Wingede, humm I tried some of that but no dice. I think the underlying problem is not being able to ssh in via terminal... isnt that odd? [04:26] sacarlson, what is that? [04:27] Xgates dell firmware via ubuntu [04:27] CFHowlett: I'm not on Ubuntu at the moment [04:27] CFHowlett: could you show me the name of the package? [04:27] what is used to collect data from an .inf file to create a driver? [04:28] almoxarife, i think the same i hate translate to [04:28] pmp6nl, is ssh installed? [04:28] Wingede, yes it is, on both [04:28] the: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkbox [04:28] Xgates ignore the obvious music listings http://paste.ubuntu.com/906653/ [04:28] the.... get chromium-browser , it translates web pages, sweet? [04:29] pmp6nl, are you trying to ssh using root as username? [04:29] yes chrome too, but it has many problems [04:29] CFHowlett: I need to know the package name so I can look it up online to see if I can get the source, etc... [04:29] Wingede, no, the reg user name. [04:29] the.... chrome has problems? [04:29] how can i organize mailing list messages in thunderbird? [04:30] Wingede, thanks for your help, I will look throught that link. I gotta go now. I appreciate your help [04:30] pmp6nl, good luck [04:30] Wingede, thanks [04:30] almoxarife, with translate [04:31] xgates see the dell recovery media creator ... [04:31] sacarlson, I man i really don't know what you mean [04:31] the: you have to learn one thing at a time first thing to learn today is checkbox [04:31] :) [04:32] sacarlson, ok let me see somethink in spanish [04:32] CFHowlett: what does the Dell receovery have to do with Backlight for a laptop? [04:32] Xgates the dell firmware packages control media keys like lighting, music, etc [04:33] CFHowlett: ok, so can't you please look in Synaptic do a search for Dell and tell me if you see the actual package name? === haz3lnut is now known as haz3lnut_zzz [04:33] So again, does anyone know what I need to do to make a script that can be run on a Windows PC that runs an init.d script on my Ubuntu server? [04:34] Xgates: on your other question to find what package a file comes from http://www.ubuntugeek.com/what-package-is-that-file-in.html [04:34] sacarlson, LOL i allredy understand, but what you mean?? i don't know what do you say [04:35] Raliegh: open up putty and run the script? [04:35] Xgates see i8kutils firmware-addon-dell [04:35] fixed, an issue with reading configuration files [04:35] sacarlson: I'm not on or running Ubuntu [04:35] hehe [04:36] CFHowlett: what's i8kutils part of the name? [04:36] the: ok next thing to learn GUI or graphical user interface http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface [04:36] Xgates 2 dell pacakges: i8kutils and firmware-addon-dell [04:36] ok thanks [04:36] Xgates good luck [04:37] sacarlson, I undeetand that [04:37] Ben64: I need a script to automatically do that. It's to reset my shoutcast services when they need to remotely, without them having remote access and shit. [04:38] Raliegh: why do it from windows [04:38] Because most of my clients RUN windows... [04:38] I miss my windows [04:38] CFHowlett: Don't see like this is just source out there, seems to be Ubuntu specfic? [04:38] the: the gui application called gnome-alsa-mixer ; checkbox>headphones> uncheck ; [04:39] Ben64: Missed highlight, lol. [04:39] Xgates could be, IDK the details [04:39] k [04:39] the: or should the next leason be what is application? [04:39] Raliegh: that doesn't make sense [04:39] sacarlson, man you are a god, I understant all [04:40] the: see google translators do work [04:40] Ben64: It makes... Perfect sense... Lol. My clients need a script to double click or whatever that restarts a service on my Ubuntu server. How does that not make sense? [04:40] sacarlson, google translate don't work [04:40] Raliegh: letting clients restart a service doesn't make sense [04:41] Raliegh: there are command line ssh clients for windows.. you could make a script that runs ssh and connects to the server and runs a script there [04:41] Raliegh: alternatively, if the servers are running a web interface, you could make a small web script that restarts it [04:41] that sounds like the best option ^ [04:41] Raliegh: then they could just hit the webpage on their server and restart [04:41] Why doesn't it? It makes perfect sense, there are multiple shoutcast servers on my server, and everyone who owns one of those servers needs a way to reset the service if it crashes or something. Imbezol, there's no web protocol, but do you have documentation on the SSH scripting? What language is it? I assume Batch. [04:41] giving everyone ssh access is a bad idea™ [04:42] I'll of course obfuscate it somehow. [04:42] And of course they're on a limited user login. [04:42] the: google is god we are just pawns [04:43] Raliegh: you could do something like give their user sudo access to run the specific command.. like "sudo /etc/init.d/someservice restart" [04:43] sacarlson, on alsamixer i don't see checkbox who say that [04:43] Raliegh: then just write a small batch file they can use on windows [04:43] Exactly, that's what I need to do imbezol. [04:43] CFHowlett: ok found one i8kutils_1.33.tar.gz what version is Ubuntu running? [04:43] But I'm not entirely sure where to find docs on how to create this batch file or anything. [04:43] the: that's not the name of the application I gave you [04:43] web interface would be much more secure [04:43] Xgates I've got it on 10.04 [04:43] sacarlson, google it's a god the probleam here is google tranlate [04:44] True Ben, but I don't know how create a web interface to run a command on my server either. If it's easy though I would prefer that route. Is it possible in PHP or something? [04:44] Raliegh: i'd probably just look at turning on the web interface. it would save you from telling your users how to get the components to make a batch script work [04:44] I found this for Natty; https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/i8kutils/1.33 [04:44] Raliegh: then you just support the server, not the client machines [04:44] Raliegh: but that's just me [04:44] Raliegh: probably a hundred ways to solve that problem. all of them are going to require some know-how [04:45] Raliegh: or some money to get someone to solve it for you :) [04:45] Xgates same version shows up in apt-cache policy [04:45] There's a web interface for the stream imbezol, an admin login and everything, but nothing that can restart the service/program. [04:45] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/i8kutils [04:45] sacarlson, which one did you give me [04:45] ? [04:45] Raliegh: yeah.. you'd have to write a script.. perl cgi, or php, or something of the sorts [04:46] hello [04:46] Danko8321 greetings [04:46] A bit of help with Linux virtual machines? [04:46] Danko8321 ask away [04:46] VirtualBox Guest additions question... [04:46] Yes [04:46] Indee [04:46] *Indeed [04:47] I have been having problems installing Linux Guest additions [04:47] Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Fedora [04:47] None of them work [04:47] Well thanks for the help imbezol. I'll be poking around. ^^ [04:48] It doesn't give any kind of error message [04:48] Celestia has been segfaulting for ages [04:48] Just been trying to compile from source but I get;- [04:48] ../celengine/libcelengine.a(libcelengine_a-glext.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlopen@@GLIBC_2.1' [04:48] Has GLIBC upgraded and broken Celestia? [04:48] sacarlson, which? [04:48] It just gives back the prompt in about a second [04:48] And if I use a graphical tool it opens a terminal and just closes it back again [04:49] Danko8321 did you follow the instruction for installing Guest Additions? [04:49] Yes [04:49] Or at least I think so [04:49] I have managed to do it in a couple of Windows installs [04:49] the: I guess we have to backup and teach you what an application name is [04:49] And I did it once in a Ubuntu setup [04:49] But the Ubuntu setup dyed [04:49] *died [04:49] Danko8321 what is your host? [04:50] LinuxMint 12 [04:50] sacarlson, jhaaaa only give me the mane [04:50] **name [04:50] Danko8321 you really need to take this over to the mint channel. Sorry, we don't support it here. [04:50] Danko8321 [04:50] Seriously? [04:50] !mint|Danko8321 [04:50] Danko8321: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:51] Well thanks a lot [04:51] the: you da mane [04:51] Could you guys at least try? [04:51] cc11rocks_ try what? [04:51] *for Danko8321? [04:51] linux mint has a channel of its own [04:51] cc11rocks_ and the BEST place to get help with mint is from mint. [04:51] it's more logical to ask there for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is, that you want help from people who know your distribution [04:51] I understand the delima...about the non-supported OS, but yeah... === dukie is now known as dungeonduke [04:53] sacarlson, man are you kidding?? i have trobles typing === dukie is now known as dungeonduke [04:54] the: another thing to learn is how to scroll or scrolling in the IRC to look back at what was already typed before http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrolling [04:54] the: yes so do I so I don't like to retype [04:55] sacarlson, no mames [04:57] the: the application name = http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gnome-alsamixer [04:57] sacarlson, google translate "no mames"? [04:58] the: cool you created a new language called the: [04:58] Could anyone tell me if Ubuntu-panel is a fork from Ubuntu? [04:58] or just Gnome-fallback or classic [04:58] and if in the next LTS will be removed [04:58] sacarlson, you probably mean packages.ubuntu.com [04:58] sacarlson, man it's spanish [04:59] gnome2 gnome-panel? its not [04:59] bazhang: your correct sorry I just googled the name didn't see that [04:59] the #ubuntu-es for spanish [04:59] i'm not spanish [04:59] bazhang, [05:00] anyone here use conky-cli ? [05:00] gnome2 I was talking to the [05:00] gnome2: if they remove it I'm sure there will be a backport someplace [05:01] bazhang, that channel don't work [05:01] the sure it does [05:01] the if you want spanish support thats where to go [05:02] bazhang, but theres nobody say nothing [05:02] but i try english [05:02] the then be patient, or use english here [05:02] sacarlson, a backport? [05:02] the: you can also run 2 or 10 different chats at the same time [05:03] gnome2: yes backport as in ppa [05:03] ok [05:03] can anyone hear me here right now? test [05:03] i hope gnome panel exist forever [05:03] bobo37773, what is the issue with conky [05:03] gnome2: maybe in the case it would be a forport ? [05:03] sacarlson, i know but that channel does't work [05:03] [Q]: how to have gnome pop up and show shutdown message if shutdown command have been issued? [05:04] so i'll try english [05:04] bazhang: Thanks. Wasn't sure if I was connected. No problem with conky just a little curious about conky-cli version [05:04] the: not work maybe you didn't wait long enuf, things don't always hapen in seconds sometime they take days [05:04] !find conky-cli [05:04] Found: conky-cli [05:05] !info conky-cli [05:05] conky-cli (source: conky): highly configurable system monitor (basic version).

Is it like conky except you can run it in a terminal? [05:06] 25:8 [05:06] bobo37773, no idea sorry [05:06] sacarlson, do you work here? [05:06] the what is your support issue [05:06] hi there, does anybode know how to solve the problem with login screen. Sometimes after boot i've got an artifacts on screen. If i press enter then screen flashes , after this i can login. [05:06] why does this channel have so many users? [05:06] the: there is a small difference from work and play, I exist [05:06] my speacker doesn't work [05:07] speeker? [05:07] the and where is the pastebin output of lspci I asked you for [05:07] speaker? [05:07] haslguitar do you have an ubuntu support request? [05:07] bazhang: his sound card works since he has sound out the headphone [05:07] probably this connected with Nvidia driver [05:07] not really. i just saw this channel had so many people and was wondering why. [05:07] sacarlson, he said he had PCI speakers as well [05:07] bazhang, this [05:08] bazhang: I just can't get the: to try click the headphones disable botton in gnome-alsamixer [05:08] the yes paste.ubuntu.com with the output of lspci [05:08] sacarlson, i did it [05:09] sacarlson, forport? [05:09] gnome2: just a name I tried to make up [05:09] do you know how to hack? [05:10] cuz i have this friend that really needs to know how. [05:10] xD [05:10] haslguitar this is not a hacking channel. Please limit yourself to ubuntu support or go elsewhere [05:10] haslguitar: ... get out. [05:10] haslguitar, thats not on topic here [05:10] gnome2: backport is normaly what we pull from forward releases so if you push something from old release into new release what is it called? [05:10] aeon-ltd, not necessary [05:10] but what if i using ubuntu? then can i hack? [05:10] dungeonduke: Have you tryed any other display managers? Last I heard (this was a while ago) there were still a couple of small issues to sort out with lightdm if that is in fact what you're talking about (don't quote me on that I dont have a link handy) [05:10] yes yes sacarlson [05:10] haslguitar: you and your friend need to do a lot of reading on what hacking is, also several laws. [05:10] haslguitar, dont ask for that here [05:10] aeon-ltd: thanks for the help. we will! [05:11] hack? [05:11] it would be nice to stay with gnome 2 [05:11] yeah like stealing peoples credit cards and phone numbers! [05:11] on ubuntu 12.04 [05:11] :| [05:11] ...

[05:11] long-con troll? [05:11] bazhang got to that quick [05:12] while my ubuntu is booting up on my amd64 system, my monitor displays "Input not support" and there is no text or splash screen during boot. It will also give me the same message after booting if I try to use a text console. Where is a tutorial on how to fix this? [05:12] who's a troll [05:12] gnome2: I find that gnome-shell makes me fell at home again like my old ubuntu 10.04 [05:12] really sacarlson ? [05:12] well i'll give it a last chance [05:12] gnome2: How many other window managers have you tryed? I was stuck on gnome 2 but then found there are many other alternatives. [05:12] bobo37773: i've got this problem only with default manager [05:12] bobo37773, well there's xfce, mate [05:13] gnome2: ya also cinimon is better than unity in my opinion [05:13] sacarlson, man see you, im going to sleep, it's late [05:13] the: ok good luck [05:13] flux box or black box if you really want minimal [05:13] gnome2: I made the switch to openbox and am very happy. I think if I went back to a compoisting wm I would stick to a wm only though probably straight compiz [05:14] but i want to work with nautilus [05:14] sale we ahi la vemos luego [05:14] se cuidan [05:14] chidos por ayudar [05:14] dungeonduke: Try another one and see if you still have the issue. [05:14] bobo37773, ubuntu 9 [05:14] any idea how to set my video mode so boot splash and text consoles will be at a mode my monitor can use? [05:14] bobo37773, ubuntu + openbox = oubuntu? [05:15] :0 [05:15] gnome2: Nautilus is a file manager. While it does pull a fair amount of dependencies you can use it in and window manager [05:15] ah ok [05:16] well maybe I'll give a try to other wm [05:16] gnome2: Well there is crunchbang if you want openbox or there is lubuntu (pretty sure its still openbox it just sits inside lxde). [05:16] Ya se puede actualizar GNOME a la version 3.4? [05:16] yo tengo ubuntu 11.10 [05:16] vitualbox is nic [05:16] !es|matias_ [05:16] matias_: 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. [05:16] gnome2, what are you looking for in a wm [05:17] matias_: Probably. Did you look around for a ppa? [05:17] well, panel customization [05:17] ok no one seems to know at the moment i'll go google thanks [05:17] gnome2, what else? what kind of hw do you wnat to run it on? [05:17] bobo37773: http://askubuntu.com/questions/95312/why-do-i-sometimes-log-in-twice-instead-of-once i think here is the same problem, but still no solution [05:17] intel 64 [05:17] whad kinf of graphics card [05:17] amd radeon 5450 [05:18] ati [05:18] why are u asking me so anthropos [05:19] because it changes what kind of wm you can run [05:19] ok [05:19] snowrichard: I used https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/grub-customizer to set resolion to like 640X480 or some small number [05:19] i know there's some bugs with ati radeon cards and ubuntu latest releases [05:19] the 5450 is a separate card or is it onboard? [05:19] the bugs are only really an issue with gnome 3 afaik [05:19] separate [05:19] unity works, gnome 2 works [05:19] ok nice [05:19] gnome 3 will work more or less, but it requires more effort. [05:20] oh no [05:20] but gnome fallbaks is gnome 3 [05:20] fck [05:20] dungeonduke: Did you attempt the fix on that post? [05:20] I have an ati card in my netbook and I use gnome 3 (well, gnome shell). and yes, it falls back by default. you can make it work though [05:20] which ati radeon do u have anthr [05:20] fglrx [05:21] the proprietary driver [05:21] hmm [05:21] like me [05:21] yes i did, this bug chasing me since Ubuntu 10.10 [05:21] it runs well on 10.10 [05:21] I think the problem i had may be unique to the netbook chipsets (fusion / zacate) [05:21] what wm are you trying to run? gnome 3? [05:21] ok [05:21] well now i'm on 10.10 [05:21] dungeonduke: What version of Ubuntu do you use? [05:21] gnome 2 [05:21] but in april i'll switch to gnome fallback ubuntu 12.04 [05:22] altough i've read somewhere that gnome-fallback has no future :( [05:23] it's just a transient option [05:23] I suspect all the modern gnome stuff will be based on gnome shell now. but some wm's based on gnome shell look a lot like gnome 2 [05:23] like cinnamon [05:23] bobo37773: Description: Ubuntu 11.10 [05:23] cinnamon... [05:23] hmmm [05:23] i'll investigate [05:23] it's essentially the mint developer's take on gnome 3, which basically makes it look very much like gnome 2 [05:23] I personally like gnome shell as is, but i understand why you might object to it [05:24] but isn't cinnnamon for mint? [05:24] you can run it in ubuntu [05:24] i dont know if its in the repos or not. it probably is [05:24] gnome2: that's what I'm presently looking at cinnamon on my screen, just getting used to the new feel [05:24] but what a mess no? [05:24] i don't think it will be a miss [05:24] I think you'll install it and that will be that. [05:24] the only problem i forsee is fglrx playing nice with gnome shell [05:25] which can be a problem for some cards [05:25] dungeonduke: Here is how to switch to test a new dm --> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/how-to-switch-between-gdm-lightdm-or.html [05:25] well i installed 12.04 + mate, then did apt-get update and system crash for example [05:25] dungeonduke: Well, you will have to install the package you want first. [05:25] gnome2: just more options, problem is now seems everyone is looking a different looking screens and harder to know how to instruct to get what they want [05:25] 12.04 is beta [05:26] the beauty of linux is that you can pick whatever desktop environment you wnat, there is no right or wrong choice [05:26] i understand [05:26] bobo37773: thanks, will do this [05:26] so anthropos, with my ati radeon 5450 i might went into problems with gnome 3? [05:26] this is no magic [05:26] no beauty [05:26] xD [05:27] i don't know, but you can check google. if its the netbook chipset then it might be a problem [05:27] dungeonduke: Okay let us know. Not sure how much it will help since I think 10.10 was gdm and not lightdm if I remember correctly. [05:27] nm, you said it was a separate card. it's probably ok [05:27] ok [05:27] well actually is silly what i asking, cause i already tried 12.04 with my ati card [05:27] and went well [05:27] xD [05:28] anyway [05:28] thanks guys [05:28] gnome2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:28] np, take care. [05:30] hey guys can i have sound icon with music player in ubuntu 10.04 as we have in ubuntu 11.04 ? [05:30] can 12.04 work well with ATI [05:30] yes, why not [05:30] my desktop manager died. I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 and then I let update manager update... it killed lightdm desktop manager. Now I can't boot. I get "* Starting LightDm Display Manager [fail]" and it hangs there. [05:30] (to songxk_) [05:30] That is good [05:31] I think it works AS well as any of the others :) you'll still have to put up with crappy drivers from ati [05:31] I can talk nonsense but that time-indicator of new Beta upgrader...drives me crazy. [05:31] dalek_, "just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10" [05:31] dalek_, did you upgrade to 11.04 first? [05:31] pratz: You mean like a sound up / down panel applet? [05:31] scientes: nope. skipped it entirely. [05:32] dalek_, then you did an unsupported upgrade [05:32] i created a group developers and assigned him shell /bin/sh and home directory /var/www. I then created developer1 right and assinged him shell /bin/false and to the developer group. The problem is i can't upload files. [05:32] !upgrade [05:32] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [05:32] bobo37773: sound up / down plus banshee player next previous in it [05:34] scientes: it is pointless giving me browser links - I have to GUI to run a browser in. How can installing 11.10 be unsupported? What about people who installed 11.10 straight from windows without ever having 11.04 installed?\ [05:34] scientes: *no gui [05:35] pratz: Do you have "indicator-sound" package installed? Is that no longer available in 11.04? [05:35] dalek_, whats the issue [05:35] installed ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, works well but a USB 3G CDMA modem does not get automatically listed in Network Manager so i cannot configure it. The modem worked well in 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 [05:35] bobo37773: i want this in ubuntu 10.04 [05:35] ozzfan76, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 [05:35] bazhang: lightdm died after I selected update in update manager [05:36] research4oscar, elaborate, upload how. and one typically assigns a shell to a user not a group afaik [05:36] ok thanks.. sorry didn't know :) [05:36] research4oscar: I can't read enuf into that to make head or tails of it [05:36] bobo37773: i want 11.04 indicator-sound applet in 10.04 , possible ? [05:36] bazhang: now I can't boot past *staring lightdm display manager [fail] [05:36] dalek_, what about in recovery mode [05:37] pratz: oh I see. Do you have the indicator-sound package installed? Is it in your repos [05:37] research4oscar: I guess instead of telling what you did at this point tell us what your goal is? [05:37] bazhang: how do I get into recovery mode? [05:37] dalek_, hold shift a t boot [05:37] dalek_, fresh installs are supported, and you can do a fresh install to your existing setup without loosing your /home files [05:37] ^^^on shift [05:38] can i ask questions about Wine in here? [05:38] scientes, upgrades are supported too, not just fresh installs [05:38] research4oscar: limit the bin that the users have access to I guess is what you want [05:38] !wine|turd [05:38] turd: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [05:38] turd, about the program or games [05:38] I have a grub problem. Somehow when I installed Ubuntu grub ended up on my 3rd data drive, any way to fix this? [05:38] sacarlson: i want to add a couple of users to my new ubuntu setup with access only to a folder under var/www [05:38] bazhang, he upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 directly [05:38] scientes: In that case, that is what I did, a fresh install off a live USB disk with the option to retain /home files [05:38] Has anyone used ubuntu on the new ideapad U300e? [05:38] dalek_, OOOH, ok [05:38] research4oscar: can't you just add those users to the group www-data ? [05:38] i chose the install beside win7 option [05:38] sacarlson: so that they can upload html files. [05:39] sacarlson: yup tried that. [05:39] dalek_: Can you get into a shell? [05:39] research4oscar: and the results being ? maybe you also have permisions on the dir /var/www set to what? [05:40] bobo37773: I am in the alt+ctrl+F1 terminal, if that is what you mean? I am accessing IRC through irssi === f3ck4r is now known as f3ck4r-0ffz [05:40] bobo37773: alt+f1 rather... I forget I don't need to hold ctrl ;) [05:41] dalek_: Gotcha yeah thats what I meant. Did you try --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure displaymanagername [05:41] bobo37773: I tried that already... it fails. Hold on - I will get the error message [05:41] dalek_: Really? I have to hold ctrl. How did you do that? Or is that a default Ubuntu thing? [05:41] dalek_: Install gdm and switch to that and see if that works [05:42] dalek_: sudo apt-get install gdm && sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [05:43] sacarlson: that is what i was thinking. how can i check what rights they have on their folder? [05:44] research4oscar: sudo ls -l -d /var/www [05:44] Really? Nobody? [05:45] dam I'm slow [05:45] bobo37773: hold on... before I try to revert to GDM, what do you think of this error for lightDM? "dpkg-mainscript-helper: warning environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME missing" and same error again but ending in "DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE missing" [05:46] bobo37773: sorry if I am taking long time to anwser, but I have no idea how to copy/paste in a tty terminal so I have to type everything by hand [05:47] dalek_ Just a second. Be right back [05:48] ok === Guest80172 is now known as MogDog [05:51] this is my first time using irssi ;) [05:51] What is the default font for the gnome terminal? I need to reset it. [05:51] It's looking monsterous. [05:51] wingdings [05:51] lol [05:51] how to install lamp on ubunut [05:52] how to install lamp on ubuntu [05:52] :) [05:52] howdy, i have a problem. for some reason, fresh ubuntu install. Windows for some reason will not stay on top. So when i alt-tab or select another window it will not come to the top. has anyone else experience this? [05:52] i think there is a unified package for the entire lamp stack. but, you should know what you are doing if you install this and expose it ot the public [05:52] I almost feel for that, even though I've seen wingdings before [05:52] it's late [05:52] songxk_ http://www.unixmen.com/install-lamp-with-1-command-in-ubuntu-1010-maverick-meerkat/ [05:52] thank u CFHowlett [05:52] songxk_ have fun / be safe [05:53] my tasksel can not work [05:53] songxk_ *sudo* tasksel [05:53] Hah... I'll just load up my other VM! [05:54] bobo37773: are you still around? [05:54] hi [05:55] vi or vim [05:55] what was the key to get grub menu up while booting again? shift key was it? === MogDog is now known as Guest78752 [05:55] Cyberex greetings [05:56] brb [05:56] I have a grub problem. Somehow when I installed Ubuntu grub ended up on my 3rd data drive, any way to fix this? [05:59] HeliusCron^: you can change the boot sequence in bios and after boot you can also reload the mbr to the other desired hard disk [06:00] HeliusCron^: Was that the default? How did you do this? [06:02] dalek_: hey [06:02] bobo37773: I am back [06:02] HeliusCron^: This may be helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#The_graphical_way [06:03] dalek_: I see that. So did gdm work any better? [06:03] bobo37773: thank you for help, i've installed gdm and problem now seems to be solved [06:03] bobo37773: I tired booting in recovery mode to see what happened. [06:03] who give me a stream video link,i want to learn mplayer ,thankyou [06:03] dungeonduke: Very cool. Glad I could help. Hopefully this gets fixed upstream soon. [06:04] !cn|waynewang [06:04] waynewang: 如欲獲得中文的協助,請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [06:04] waynewang: Is that a question or a statement? [06:04] waynewang which type of link rstp? [06:04] dalek_: And what happened? [06:04] mms or rstp [06:05] mukeshece both are ok [06:05] try this: rtsp://v6.cache1.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQlzkVp9YR-69RMYJCAkFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBWluZGV4YLqFpPbF_pi4Tww=/0/0/0/video.3gp [06:05] mukesheceok [06:06] bobo37773: I came to the recovery menu, wasn't sure which option to pick, so I just picked the top option (which was like start normally).. and that threw me into a command prompt. I rebooted again and the "*Starting LightDM Desktop Manager" has changed from [fail] to [ok]. [06:06] is wpa2 encrypted differently for each attached device? [06:06] techlobyte1: You mean is the pairwise key different? [06:07] hi, how to install oracle 10g xe in ubuntu 11.10 64 bit, pls help me... [06:07] I guess [06:07] dalek_: Oh cool. So its working now? Can you get into X? [06:07] bobo37773: but now the boot-up sequence hangs at "Starting userspace bootsplash [ok]" [06:07] bobo37773: no [06:07] dalek_: Okay. Try gdm and see if that works. [06:07] bobo37773, yea [06:08] bobo37773, does the handshake establish a different encryption hash for each attached device [06:08] I sometimes have problems after resuming from hibernation: A lot of UI elements are not clickable, awn dock for example. It keeps displaying stuff (cpu indicator) fine, however.. Running stuff via alt+f2 doesn't work. I can type in open terminals, as soon as I press enter, nothing happens anymore. If I try to use tab completion, nothing happens anymore. I can't login via ssh, it asks for the password, then nothing happens anymore. Switching to text mo [06:08] de terminals (Alt+f1/f2/..., how are they called?) doesn't work. After a few minutes even the mouse cursor freezes. [06:08] some one use the ubuntu server [06:08] foobArrr, what version of ubuntu [06:08] techlobyte1: Not 100% sure. But I think they are the same. Doesn't the important part of the handshake come from the router? [06:08] 11.10 [06:09] 11.10 [06:09] joosengee, try #ubuntu-server [06:09] bobo37773, it does, I just wonder how vulnerable I am in sharing my pre-shared key [06:09] techlobyte1: Sharing your preshared key? You mean the passphrase? [06:10] bobo37773, yea [06:10] Question: I've been messing around with vim and terminal color schemes. It seems that that the "Linux console" default scheme has changed, along with a few others. [06:10] Is there a way to force that back? [06:10] techlobyte1: There are a lot of variables to consider. Do you know every device on your network? [06:11] bobo37773, well see there was this St. Patricks party, and I wanted to earn some qiri [06:12] techlobyte1: what is qiri? Not that it matters. Okay so you gave your password to some people you don't know? Is that what you are saying? [06:12] bobo37773, so far I do know everyone, but I don't want to [06:12] user1 : check this : Oracle Database 10g Express Edition add Oracle’s repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file echo -e "n# Oracle repositoryndeb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [06:13] bobo37773, I don't want to expose myself unduly [06:13] techlobyte1: Is this happening right now or are we talking paste-tense? [06:13] techlobyte1: past* [06:13] user1: better check this link : http://howandyou.com/how-to-install-oracle-database-10g-xe-and-oc4j-on-ubuntu/ [06:14] ...???.. [06:14] bobo37773, is it somehow frowned upon to share your network with neighbors? [06:14] bobo37773, we're all kind of poor because of the depression [06:15] bobo37773, so I was just wondering if I'm opening myself up to sniffers [06:15] techlobyte1: Not really. Just pay attention to what is happening on your network. I guess what I mean is know every mac address on the network. [06:15] bobo37773, sage advice [06:16] techlobyte1: Well you may be. But most people can't really accomplish that very well anyways. Just make sure you use https everywhere extension and use a local dns server [06:16] bobo37773: I jsut had visitors at the door, but now they are gone. Do you want me to try GDM now? [06:16] dalek_: May be a fix. It's up to you [06:16] bobo37773, I was using opendns so I could sniff them [06:16] bobo37773, without invading their privacy [06:17] bobo37773: so..... sudo apt-get install gdm and then what was the rest? [06:17] techlobyte1: Hahaha. Yeah okay. Anyways, I meant just for your machine specifically. Something like pdnsd [06:18] bobo37773, thanks [06:18] techlobyte1: Your welcome. Always pay attention to the traffic on your network [06:18] Good morning people. I have problems with my laptop when resuming from suspend. Can't see the screen. Sounds familiar to anyone? [06:18] dalek_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [06:20] toygarden, do you have a swap partition that is as large as your memory? [06:20] bobo37773: ok.. it looks like dpkg is runing automatically after entering apt-get install anyway [06:20] dalek_: Well pay close attention. If it does not switch it that is the command [06:22] bobo37773: it came up with a congfiguration screen asking me to choose between gdm and lightdm, and entered ok. [06:22] dalek_: ?? Did you pick gdm? [06:22] hello [06:23] anthropos: i'm not sure. df does not display a swap partition? what command can I run to check it? [06:23] michaeljones: Hello [06:23] Does anybody know , when brcmsmac driver will support AP mode. It is causing lot of problem.I have been waiting for a year not, and i don't want to use Windows for that! [06:23] michaeljones greetings [06:23] bobo37773: yes, forgot to mention that. [06:23] would it be possible to have an ubuntu install I can boot natively as well as boot from inside of a VM? [06:23] dalek_: haha. Okay. Reboot [06:23] !netsplit [06:23] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [06:23] if I give it its own hard drive? [06:23] fdisk -l will list all your partitions if you are using msdos partition tables, which you prob are [06:23] bobo37773: will reboot now to see what is broken now. [06:23] brb [06:24] dalek_: Will be here waiting for you [06:24] michaeljones, it would be hard [06:24] adnan_kamili: adhoc works in most cases when ap mode doesn't exist [06:24] anthropos: how so? [06:24] you'd be switching hw constantly. your bare metal hw is totally diff than what it will see in the vm [06:24] any way to get h.264 support in firefox? [06:24] it'd be better to run it in a vm in both cases [06:24] michaeljones: Please elaborate a little if you don't mind [06:25] you can run it on top of a bare bones hypervisor though [06:25] anthropos: right but as long as the drivers for everything exist why should it matter? [06:25] michaeljones, like I said, it's not impossible [06:25] just likely to be problematic. [06:25] anthropos: fdisk -l lists that my swap is 2928640 blocks. now, how do I know what blocksize my fs uses? [06:25] bobo37773: I want to install ubuntu and boot it from an SSD [06:25] why do you need a vm to do that michaeljones [06:25] but when I'm on windows I want to be able to boot that same ubuntu installation from VMware [06:25] bobo37773: ^ [06:26] i think it's a bad idea. but i'm not going to say it's impossible [06:26] michaeljones: So you want to install on a hard drive and then put it in some kind of hot swap usb and boot that from a vm? Is that what you mean? Or do you mean an internal drive? [06:27] toygarden, try sfdisk -l -uM [06:27] he wantsd to boot the same OS both from the bare metal and in a vm [06:27] bobo37773: I mean a separate internal drive [06:27] basically he wants to boot a normal linux install in a VM without cloning it or anything [06:27] bobo37773: hangs at a different point now. Also, it appears from the boot up messages that GDM and LightDM are trying to run simultaneously... perhaps I should purge lightdm? [06:28] dalek_: Yeah try that and then reconfigure again. [06:28] it'd be better to run it in a hypervisor like kvm or something when you want to boot it "directly", so it's always virtualized, but it would not be running on top of windows always [06:28] bobo37773: I also noticed that the screen flickers a few times before it hangs, like it is trying to switch screen modes but fails. [06:29] anthropos: so have KVM also boot windows? [06:29] anthropos: ok, looks like my swap drive is only 3GB and I have 6GB memory. also, I dual-boot on a 128GB SSD, so I don't think I can double the swap space. do you know of any other solution? as it is i just hibernate instead. [06:29] about the ubuntu server room is closed. [06:29] you could do that. it's not what i was thinking, but perhaps it's better. anyways, I invite you to try what you want, michaeljones, and let me know if you get it working [06:29] but I think it'll be hard to get it working without problems developing at some point [06:29] linux is pretty tolerant of switching out hw, but this would really be taking it to the next level. [06:29] dalek_: Hmm. Maybe try killing gdm / lightdm from the console and then just booting straight into X would work or at least give you an error taht makes sense [06:29] beyond just changing out a mobo once or something [06:30] default ubuntu install beside win7 option sacarlson [06:30] I don't know the new room that tell about impement for server. [06:30] installed to same drive as my win7 install [06:30] toygarden, you need a swap partition as large as your ram to suspend, afaik [06:30] michaeljones: I do not understand the advantage here. Do you want portability or something? [06:30] windows 8 is good, someone tell me. [06:30] I do not know any workaround. but you could swap to a usb key or something. personally I wouldn't swap to an SSD anyways [06:30] look friendly. [06:30] if you have 6gb of memory the only thing you are likely to use swap for is suspending [06:30] and easy to use. [06:31] !ot|joosengee [06:31] joosengee: #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! [06:31] joosengee: If someone told you then it has to be true. I should go buy a copy right now :p [06:32] bobo37773: I have just purged lightdm (which also took ubuntu-desktop with it). Now I am rebooting again. brb [06:32] anthropos: ok, i guess it figures. do you know if there's other pitfalls for me, having a smaller swap partition? [06:32] toygarden, what kind of comp is it? [06:33] Hey everyone. I have windows XP and ubuntu on my machine in dual boot. I want to swap windows XP for windows 7. Can I just erase windows XP and install windows 7 in the empty space, and then boot from a live cd and reinstall grub? [06:33] SmokeyD that should work [06:33] SmokeyD, yes but win 7 will def nuke grub :) [06:33] Windows XP is at the beginning of the hd and there is enough space available for windows 7 [06:33] anthropos: a toshiba satellite z830, laptop, wiht ssd [06:34] bobo37773: basically I want my ubuntu install available even when I'm in windows [06:34] toygarden, you don't really need any swap at all. i would not use a swap partition on such a computer. the only reason you need it is to suspend and just to be on the safe side so you don't run out of memory encoding media or something [06:34] but realistically, you need no swap [06:34] and I'd rather not do some crappy split / and /home partition install [06:34] Anthropos that is no problem as long as I can reinstall it again [06:35] michaeljones: So you want a virtual machine that is synced basically? Also, why is seperating / and /home a crappy install? hahaha [06:35] michaeljones, you could just run windows in a VM in linux [06:35] yes, his vm idea is pretty bold... [06:35] this ^^ [06:35] hi [06:35] is there a program manager to force quit a program ,... like task manager .? [06:35] jessie: Hi! [06:35] anthropos: ok. I don't think I'll remove it, but I giess I won't run in to other problems with it. thanks! [06:35] Question: 'tput colors' gives me 8... is there a way I can fix this? [06:36] bobo37773: because I'd have to maintain 2 ubuntu installs [06:36] RedBunny: I use htop [06:36] how to create a bootable usb to install ubuntu 11.10 [06:36] thanx [06:36] michaeljones: If you use a seperate /home? [06:36] Good morning [06:36] jessie startupdiskcreator or unetbootin [06:36] Linse: Good evening [06:36] Linse greetings [06:36] how do i make a folder in my home folder Websites ,... show up on the left sidee of the folder program ....where pictures and documents are at [06:36] bobo37773: /home, then 1 / for the native boot, and another / for the VM [06:36] bobo37773: yea [06:37] CFHowlett:i tried thru startup but not booting [06:37] Redbunny, there is a graphical taskmanager as well [06:37] jessie you mean startupdiskcreator is absent or won't work? [06:38] bobo37773: failed again. Hangs at message "* Checking battery state..." [06:38] jessie: it might require some changes in bios settings to change boot sequence to boot usb first [06:38] michaeljones: I always use a seperate /home. Hasn't given me any problems yet. I think I know what you are trying to get at though. I think the short answer is no. It will not work like you think it will. [06:38] CFHowlett:wont work [06:38] jessie try unetbootin [06:38] bobo37773: techically speaking thought what is stopping it from working? [06:38] if you want to see an OS really freak out, try switching windows from VM to bare metal and vice versa [06:39] lol anthropos === sorin is now known as Guest84007 [06:39] dalek_: Why did you remove ubuntu-desktop? I tried to stop you but you were already gone. Why all the trouble? You have some data backed up on /home right? Is that it? [06:40] anthropos: I've done it, the first thing it does is it asks for a new key [06:40] bobo37773: yep, it would not let me remove lightdm without ubuntu-desktop as well [06:40] haha [06:40] jessie: change bios boot sequence http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm ; [06:40] dalek_: Yeah ubuntu-desktop in your de I think. Your whole gui [06:40] dalek_: It is something you need [06:41] sacarlson [06:41] bobo37773: the data is all still in my home directory. Ok, I will re-install ubuntu-desktop... but will that re-install lightdm too? [06:41] sacarlson [06:41] jessie: that's my name don't ware it out [06:41] sacarlson:will try [06:41] dalek_: It might but it shouldn't run if you reconfigure to use gdm [06:42] sacarlson: nice name [06:42] dalek_: If it does just kill lightdm and gdm from your console and try to boot directly into X without a display manager [06:43] bobo37773: it wants to reinstall lightdm again. Will try dpkg-reconfigure on it again when it is done. [06:43] dalek_: Let it and then kill your dm from the console [06:43] dalek_: Both of them [06:44] Hey [06:44] Down_to_Earth: hey [06:45] can someone help... where there are suppost to be 'commas and appostraphies, ,', ', they are showing like o's w/ filagree and stuff ,... how did i get this to happen ,...?

That external server accepts only a fix IP address and since I'm connecting from home, I always have a different IP address. What I now want is to proxy the SSH connection through a server of mine. What is that called? Is that a SSH tunnel? === Manu is now known as Guest96120 [06:47] can i easily install ubuntu on an sd card ? [06:47] RedBunny paste an image [06:47] Pulsar-: yes [06:47] how do i paste an image [06:48] Pulsar-: Easy is a relative term. I am sure it is something you can accomplish if you apply yourself [06:48] Hello, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and my external hard driver and thumb drives doesnt auto mount anymore. Any suggestions? [06:48] RedBunny screenshot and paste to http://imagebin.org/?page=add [06:48] Pulsar-: maybe I should add it would be easy for me, [06:48] bobo37773, I have am having some difficulty, with Viewing, my os partition, on /dev/sda5/, i checked in Gparted and it is mounted [06:48] Do you know of a way i can view? [06:49] bobo37773: how do I kill gdm and lightdm from terminal and boot directly into x? [06:50] Down_to_Earth: check where it is mounted to (mount), then "ls -l /mountpoint" or navigate nautilus to that mountpoint [06:50] Down_to_Earth: is mounted where? /media/?? [06:50] http://imagebin.org/205958 [06:50] it is mounted in /host, sorry [06:50] dalek_: Use --> sudo pkill gdm lightdm etc.. [06:50] theres the image [06:50] Down_to_Earth: /host? [06:50] Down_to_Earth: sudo -s ; cd /host ; ls -l [06:51] can i just use the ubuntu live disc to install ubuntu to an sd card ? [06:51] RedBunny is the display consistent? e.g. every O has a ~ over it? [06:51] no its the appostraphies and like where my password is instead of circles it's the Y with lines in it [06:52] bobo37773: ok, gdm and lightdm are killed. What now? Fresh re-install? ;) [06:52] Pulsar-: Yes, make sure to select manual partitioning. [06:52] dalek_: Not type --> startx [06:52] it happendeed duriong a logout [06:52] Pulsar-: how is the sd card mounted? there are many options like from a usb device or some systems have other options [06:52] all was fine and i signed back in and it was like that [06:53] dalek_: now* [06:54] i have a slot in the computer made for the sd card and i can use a boot menu [06:54] RedBunny reboot and see if it persists [06:54] bobo37773: oh oh oh! I think my problem might be related to nvidia driver issue... tried startx... got a bunch of nvidia fatal errors.. no screens found, failed to load nvidia kernel module, ddxsiggiveup etc... [06:55] Pulsar-: in that case I think you have a good chance of just install from livecd [06:55] i have i just got done iswtalling updates and it rebooted and its still there [06:55] np ty [06:55] dalek_: Cool. I knew we would get a real error that way. Do you have an nvidia card [06:55] Pulsar-: you will also have to change the boot sequence in bios to boot from the ssd card first [06:56] its the last thing i have to fix before i back up my sys from installing ubuntu from windows 8 and wasnt it foixed b4 i backup [06:56] want it fixed b4 i backup [06:56] bobo37773: I _was_ mucking about with "pre-release" nvidia driver in the additional hardware thingy before I attempted updates... might still be trying to use that? How do I remove and get the proper nvidia 173 driver back? [06:57] bobo37773: it is an nvidia card, but I can't recall off the top of my head it's name. [06:57] Pulsar-: you might not have to change bios settings if you install the mbr to another device and just select in grub to start the sd as default [06:58] dalek_: There really aren't that many different drivers [06:58] i down loaded advanced serttings just before that and changed the font but it was working for a while ,... [06:58] dalek_: So you install the proprietary one? [06:59] i want to be able to use the sd card like the live cd [06:59] and not use mbr [06:59] that do able ? [06:59] Hello. I had to install natty kernel from lucid backports, but system do not shutdown anymore, just rebooting instead. Please help. [07:00] dalek_: Do you have a command "nvidia-xconfig"? [07:00] Pulsar-: you want a live instant on a sd card to run, doable [07:00] i changed itback and nothing [07:00] bobo37773: there were four listed in the hardware drivers window... nvidia version 96 (I think), version 173 and those same two versions again but "pre-release" in the name. [07:00] Pulsar-: As long as your BIOS supports booting from it there is basically no difference between installing Ubuntu to an SD card vs to an internal drive (as long as the drive is large enough). [07:01] Pulsar-: maybe you just want to boot an iso file from your sd http://ansi.23-5.eu/2011/10/21/howto-boot-iso-images-via-grub2-with-ubuntu/ [07:01] dalek_: Do you have a command "nvidia-xconfig"? Try logging in as super user "sudo -s" and then running "nvidia-xconfig" [07:01] I need to buy a good laptop that works well with ubuntu. Any particluar models better then others? Are there any companies that sell laptops with ubuntu already installed, since I'm going to erase windows anyways? THANKS [07:01] bobo37773: yes, nvidia-settings is present. [07:01] bobo37773: oops.. wrong command ;) [07:01] ok so how about not touching the mbr ? [07:01] dalek_: brb. [07:01] bobo37773: yes, the other one is there too [07:02] Pulsar-: you need an mbr to boot you can put it on the sd or other [07:02] dalek_: sudo -s and then do nvidia-xconfig [07:02] Pulsar-: in order not to touch the mbr the live needs to start from bios setup [07:03] Pulsar-: you might also not that grub is modified not the mbr [07:03] note [07:04] i read somewhere it might be the encoding ,... where would i set the encoding ,...? [07:05] dalek_: back [07:05] RedBunny: you read it, keep reading it [07:05] bobo37773: it tells me VALIDATION ERROR: data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and Device section "Default Device" must have driver name [07:05] huh [07:05] dalek_: after trying to start X? [07:06] dalek_: Or while running that command? [07:06] no im getting wierd symbols showingup,.... wondering if i have the wrong encoding ,... for the desktop [07:06] bobo37773: no, after trying to do sudo -s nvidia-xconfig [07:06] dalek_: You did one first and then the other right? [07:07] RedBunny: if you are wondering then you are probably right [07:07] Hi, I'm having trouble getting pulseaudio to see a network-discoverable pulseaudio sink/server. [07:08] bobo37773: I seem to recall there is some command that will tell you which nvidia drivers are available for your card? [07:08] bobo37773: yes and no. both together first, then separate [07:08] dalek_: "apt-cache search nvidia | grep -i installed" [07:09] bobo37773: the validation complaint went away. [07:09] dalek_: okay. cat out the file to make sure it worked. [07:09] dalek_: "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [07:09] Thank you bobo37773, and sacarlson :] [07:10] adammw111: zeroconf issues? [07:10] Down_to_Earth: Your welcome. Not sure what I did but heppy to help [07:10] bobo37773: yep it lists contents of the file [07:10] it's appearing fine in avahi-discover, i just checked the logs and seems like it can't connect to the port, connection refused [07:11] dalek_: "modprobe nvidia" [07:12] dalek_: as root / sudo [07:12] bobo37773: do you have nvidia setup on your system? [07:13] almoxarife: Yeah. Why is the module called something else? [07:13] bobo37773: nope... gives me FATAL: modul nvidia_173_updates not found [07:13] bobo37773: what did you install to get nvidia working? what version [07:14] dalek_: are you on a ubuntu system? [07:15] dalek_: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [07:15] almoxarife: yes. That is what I am using currently. [07:15] almoxarife: Does the binary driver not work in 11.10 is that what you mean? [07:15] I am new to ubuntu... Can anyone please tell me what command I need to put into terminal to become root? [07:16] BriteLeaf: sudo -s [07:16] BriteLeaf: or "sudo su" [07:16] YES! [07:16] thanks =) [07:16] welcome [07:17] bobo37773: what is that repo? [07:17] dalek_: For an nvidia driver. I do not think the one you have is working correctly. [07:18] ok [07:18] bobo37773: that's what I would do to install nvidia also, I would have used -edgers, but dalek_ may need to un-install any script-kiddie fixes done thus far [07:18] dalek_: You could instead do "apt-cache search nvidia | grep -i installed" [07:19] almoxarife: Agreed. I guess I don't know my way around Ubuntu as much as I used too. Does 11.10 not supprt the closed source driver for some reason? [07:19] bobo37773: what do you expect as output from this command? apt-cache search gives no status information on packages [07:19] bobo37773: tried apt-cache thing, and it piped out no results at all [07:20] is there an easy way to copy/paste in irssi? ;) [07:20] llutz_: Oh! Okay. Please help with correct command [07:20] bobo37773: the package to use for nvidia is 'nvidia-current' [07:20] bobo37773: apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep -i insta [07:20] apt-cache search nvidia-current [07:20] dalek_: Are you catching all this ^^^ [07:20] Anyone have an opinon as to what the best laptop manufactuer is that works really well with Debian based distros or other Linux distros? [07:21] bobo37773: almost... still wish I had copy & paste to make things easier ;) [07:21] dalek_: Ah. Because you have to switch back and forth ttys? Hahaha. Part of your initiation :p === gr0ck is now known as monday [07:22] dalek_: why not 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' and install it if its not installed? [07:22] there is screen and gpm too [07:23] hello, is anyone online [07:23] dalek_: and I would assume 'dkms' is already installed [07:23] Tradie: There are a lot of people online. We can see you [07:24] i need some help with the ubuntu installation. there is something going on and its confusing me heaps [07:24] Tradie: just ask the question! [07:24] Tradie: What is the something that is going on? [07:24] almoxarife: it tells me nvidia-current is already installed. [07:25] well, i try to boot into the ubuntu entry on the boot menu, to finalise the install and it says it cannot find the installation.iso [07:25] but the file is there [07:25] dalek_: so we are back to the script-kiddie tweaks you have added on to the xorg conf via god knows [07:25] ive had ubuntu running on this pc just fine before [07:26] Tradie: boot menu? which? [07:26] i somehow loaded gnome desktop onto my sys, when i logout it now loads into gnome is there a way to make it just unity [07:26] almoxarife: i haven't added anything to xorg.conf [07:27] dalek_: when you bootup, do you get to a graphics screen ? [07:27] well im guessing it is grub, but i installed with wubi, so its probably the crap windows one. i have had windows 8 dev build and server 2008 r2 installed mon it aswel, but i reformated before trying to install ubuntu [07:28] Tradie: it's a wubi install, meaning you installed ubuntu thru windows? [07:28] why do my toolbar icons disappear [07:28] yes [07:28] almoxarife: all I've done is activate a driver in additional drivers window and run an update through update manager. I get no graphics at all during boot up. [07:29] Tradie: you can boot into windows still? [07:29] yes [07:29] its just the ubuntu installation thats having trouble [07:30] Tradie: what version are you installing? [07:30] can some one tell me how to change the system encoding ,......? [07:30] ive tried 11.10 and 10.04, but same problem [07:30] Tradie: when given a choice and choosing the ubuntu bootup the issues arise? === xy is now known as [xy] [07:31] bobo37773: almoxarife - I am tempted to just do a re-install of 11.10 from a live session, and then I just won't attempt touching the nvidia driver... [07:31] Tradie: I bet this is related to in not using something like /dev/sdb or /dev/dvd something like that. [07:31] it might be quickest solution [07:31] Tradie: are you having an issue trying to boot into ubuntu or just during the install? [07:32] yeah, ive checked the mounted locations, and there is nothing mounted -_- [07:32] dalek_: install from the 'alternate' iso , be brave [07:32] Tradie: mount it then. [07:32] dalek_ Did you try what was mentioned before? --> "apt-get install nvidia-current" [07:32] ive tried [07:32] Tradie: while in windows, you in windows right now? [07:33] yeah i am [07:33] almoxarife: I only have the i386 desktop version on my usb stick [07:33] Tradie: look for 'ubuntu' folder/directory in root of c: [07:33] Tradie: I would highly recommend a normal dual boot install rather than Wubi. [07:34] dalek_: and? got a 32bit system I assume [07:34] Tradie: I've never installed within windows. I always install booting to the disc/usb drive, ..etc [07:34] ive tried that jordan [07:34] it wont let me so i tried wubi [07:35] Tradie: "won't let me" is a poor description of a problem. What happened when you tried to install Ubuntu normally? Did you boot the installer from a CD or USB? [07:35] almoxarife: my point is, I am not sure how to download and write the alternate 11.10 installer onto my usb stick via a tty terminal [07:36] Hi, is there a group or something that gives access to internet, because right nwo, normal users can't do things like ping google.com while root can? [07:36] it was a cd, and i also tried from a rewritable dvd, but it gives an error, something about bootable media [07:36] Tradie: How did you try to write the file to the CD/DVD? [07:36] Tradie: I have had a wubi install running on a laptop(the old ladies) now for ???? , the only issue that will arise and not often is when wubibldr crashes [07:37] Tradie: this sounds like the disc wasn't created correctly. [07:37] well the disk has worked in the past [07:37] i have 4 disks of it, they all give the same error [07:37] Tradie: can you create a new one? [07:37] Tradie: And yet these same disks work in anther machine? [07:38] they worked in the same machine before [07:38] and yeah i can [07:38] i am going to run the installer again [07:38] Tradie: if the disc has no issue no matter what you should be able to boot using the disc. Your drive could be having an issue preventing that. In that case create a bootable USB disc with ubuntu on it. [07:38] Tradie: Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with the CD/DVD drive? [07:38] dalek_: me either [07:39] seems to me a reinstall is the easiest way out. [07:39] Tradie: the difficult part of that is using windows to do it and usb boot disc creators sometimes suck outside of linux. [07:39] there may be, it has been a bit sketchy since i installed a new hdd. either the hdd or the disk drive show up in explorer. not both, so yeah [07:39] dalek_: yes [07:39] brb [07:39] and ill change the sata port of the disk drive, then try again [07:39] almoxarife: Would installing nvidia-current and rerunning nvidia-xconfig not work to boot into X on ubuntu? Why not? [07:40] Tradie: the only time I've seen that issue is a screwy install script with debain systems. usually I'm able to mount it and continue but debain tells you where the issue is a bit better than ubuntu. [07:41] debian <3 haha [07:41] i prefer ubuntu over other distos of linux, and i really dont feel like migrating [07:41] i would rather get this issue worked out [07:41] bobo37773: it should, yes, why not? cruff? crap left from previous installs clobbering what one is trying to do 12 steps later?4 [07:41] Tradie: after the installs on my debian systems they rarely ever have issues. [07:42] usually its an old computer and I'm trying to install it via the internet. not a full media version. [07:42] monday: debian? wtf is the point? install debian? really? that the answer? [07:42] well, ill retry the installation to my second partition, see if that works now [07:43] ls [07:43] almoxarife: Ah, I see. Okay. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't giving horrible advice to someone. Although I do agree with you completely in the sense that I would only ever do a clean install on a Ubuntu system. [07:43] almoxarife: just conversation. I'm not trying to make any points. [07:43] @tradie:and linux Mint is other dibian os i used to prefer as i do not like unity much [07:43] See you guys later. I'm out of here [07:43] L8r [07:43] monday: ill be back after i try and reinstall things and move this about a bit. thanks for the advice [07:44] monday: you DID. take the 'debian' is a the llamas azz to the debian channel [07:44] Tradie: I hope it helps. [07:44] bob [07:44] almoxarife: take your lame ass to bed and shut the fuck up. [07:45] if you got the power kick my ass [07:45] monday: is that a support issue? [07:45] I'm not asking for support I'm giving it. === KAISforza is now known as KaiSforza [07:52] wie gehts, wie stehts [07:52] !dw [07:52] !de [07:52] In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[08:42] hi [08:42] Almoxarife [08:42] problem is, where it is telling me to configure it, it gets the file a bit whacky because it is trying to use RedHat, Debian, and some other version [08:43] so I am using my best guess [08:43] Tradie: no idea [08:43] alguien de andalucia [08:43] God Bless you carlos :) [08:43] total noob here to ubuntu, but, i did manage to install it, just needed some advice what to do now as far as updates and such? [08:44] amen [08:44] Tradie: my personal opinion I wouldn't spend too much time on wubi problems, I view it as a demo not meant for production [08:44] <--- bigger total newb here :P [08:44] clown [08:45] sacarlson: it also won't boot from cd === christians_ is now known as Chris0123 [08:45] hy people [08:45] BriteLeaf: hmm, can't follow you. noip2 has its own start-script /etc/init.d/noip2 and is configured by /etc/default/noip2. so why do yu change /etc/init.d/rc? [08:45] how to mount ntfs partitions [08:45] Tradie: how about usb? make sure you check your boot sequence in bios [08:46] HeliusCron: just get used to it. regarding sys-updates: you can do that manually - but out of the box ubuntu should notify you aswell [08:46] lemme find the line I got the info from... maybe that will help you understand what I mean [08:46] Boot sequence is fine. I've done this all before a billion times. This is the first time I've needed any help ill try USB when I get home [08:47] Tradie: only other option I can think of off the top of my head is pxe boot, but I think that might be over your head and my not have the resources [08:47] anything else since i have no idea where to look for what you are talking about [08:48] tradie: or if you have a bootable linux hard drive you can also setup grub2 to boot an iso file [08:48] Nah I don't anymore [08:50] * almoxarife installed wubi ubuntu on the oldladies lappy long ago, it works, it's a friken 'dell' for the love of god, so, wubi issue are human error ( my humble opinion) [08:51] Well I hate wubi. You can't blame people for its mistakes. It's to simple to blame it on human error [08:52] almoxarife, that`s a portuguese word, isn`t? [08:52] hello [08:52] Tradie: when all those bootloaders fails you can also try plop that can enable booting from anything else http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html [08:52] cuki: e uma praia, sim [08:52] alguien de andalucia [08:53] !en [08:53] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [08:53] tradie: when all those fail I'll give you 10 more methods to try [08:53] pq um nick de pea de fabrica almoxarife, desculpe a piada [08:53] *peao [08:53] There's no trouble with booting -_- I even know how to edit the bootloader if I need [08:53] !pt | cuki [08:53] cuki: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[08:53] cuki: pm se faz favor [08:54] en ezpañol [08:54] It's just ububtu can't find the installation.ISO in the /ububtu/install/ folder, but I know for a fact it is there === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [08:55] llutz, this is BriteLeaf.... Here is the instruction I am going by... f you want it to run automatically when the machine is booted, then [08:55] place the following script in your startup directory. (/etc/init.d/rcX.d [08:55] or /sbin/init.d/rcX.d or ???) [08:56] Dragin: install the package from repos, and it will be setup automatically === Eledran is now known as zz_Eledran [08:56] but when I try to modify that file, it says I don't have permission... Even at root lol So I am trying to give myself permission [08:56] Dragin: since ubuntu uses upstart, the runlevel-handling has changed. better to ignore all those old "non-debian/ubuntu" manuals [08:57] Dragin: you misread it. it refers to sysV-init-scripts in /etc7rcX.d (debian-way), NOT hte /etc7init [08:57] will it give me the latest? (i.e. TS3)? [08:57] xxxx /etc/init.d/rc [08:57] Dragin: what is ts3? [08:58] TeamSpeak 3 [08:58] Dragin: how is that related to noip? [08:59] Again, I am using no-ip to work with TS due to the fact that I don't have static ip, and I want to run a ts server [09:00] Dragin: i don't even know exactlywht teamspeak is/does. if you need something to be run at startup which is not in the repos, use /etc/rc.local. your noip-configuration is done via the noip2-package [09:00] so then I can do an update and get no-ip? === k is now known as Guest80043 [09:01] Dragin: sudo apt-get install noip2 [09:01] ok [09:01] thanks [09:02] Dragin, download teamspeak, unarchive it, it will have a config file somewhere to set server passwords, admin password - then edit /etc/rc.local to start the ts server on startup [09:03] oh, ok. the rc got me. thanks Wing [09:06] hi [09:06] hi [09:06] What will u ask [09:07] is there a good and complete guide for "ubuntu server sysadmin" ? [09:07] virtx: a very good question. [09:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html [09:07] it's not so complete... [09:07] tegra: 8.04? 4 years ago? [09:07] u want some info about how to use ubuntu-server? [09:08] no, how manage, hardening, etc.. [09:08] that is about it [09:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/index.html [09:08] sorry [09:08] :) [09:08] virtx: how would you define "complete" at that topic? [09:08] waht [09:09] just wondering [09:09] wordering? [09:09] ok, so where landscape-sysinfo update motd? i can't see nothing in cron [09:10] night all [09:11] it is just afternoon in China [09:11] what is the most used ubuntu atm ? [09:11] 32 or 64 bit ? [09:12] what is CTCP time [09:12] Hi, When I try to install a program through my Ubuntu software center it keeps coming up with this error: "Requires installation of untrusted packages - The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." What does this mean and how do I fix it? [09:13] 32 bit, but I think with 12.04 64 bit will become more used [09:13] why do u think so [09:13] BlueWolf: seems you have enabled some repos (ppa?) but not imported the repo-keys [09:14] llutz_: Sorry in english? How would I go about that? :D [09:15] tegra: are you really wondering about the percentage between 32 and 64bit - or what you should use yourself? [09:15] fidel, just a question :) [09:16] i think 32 bit most used.. [09:16] it's hard to say tegra, seeing user statistic reports aren't mandatory :) [09:17] usage* reports [09:17] torrent iso report ubuntu i386 most downloaded [09:18] llutz_: :D ? [09:20] I'm trying to make a USB install of Ubuntu which is customized, and no longer persistent. I currently have an iso "installed" onto the USB key (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent), and have made some changes to the OS. These changes are persistent, but I want to now make the file system read-only. Could somebody point me in a direction of where to start? [09:20] BlueWolf: sudo apt-get update, it'll give you the missing key. use "sudo apt-key adv .... " to import it. [09:20] llutz_: Ok I will give it a try now - :D [09:21] Zipper_32, it's possible that some flag is passed to the kernel via grub or whatever which says it should be persistant, if you remove that, then it should become read online [09:22] read only* [09:23] likewise you could just define the primary drive readonly with fstab, put /tmp into a tmpfs etc.. dunno [09:23] Zipper_32: there are many ways to create custom iso boots this is just one of them http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html [09:24] llutz_: E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. And Now? [09:24] Thanks metaspike, I'll look into the fstab option. [09:24] sacarlson: Thanks, I'll take a look there. [09:24] llutz_: W: GPG error: http://zw.archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [09:24] W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/universe/source/Sources.bz2 Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2) [09:25] BlueWolf: it might be you need to sudo apt-get update; [09:26] BlueWolf, and if apt-get update doesn't work, try apt-get install ubuntu-archive-keyring [09:26] and maybe put a --reinstall in there for good measure [09:26] sacarlson: That's the error from doing sudo apt-get update [09:26] BlueWolf: I think scientes is more correct try that first [09:26] [09:26] scientes: Trying [09:27] scientes: Reading package lists... Done [09:27] Building dependency tree [09:27] the bzip error however makes me wonder [09:27] Reading state information... Done [09:27] E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-archive-keyring [09:28] debian-archive-keyring [09:28] sorry [09:28] nope [09:28] thats not it either [09:28] scientes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:28] just try the apt-get update [09:29] wait, the package is ubuntu-keyring <-- [09:30] sudo apt-get update [09:30] Hi [09:31] scientes: BlueWolf: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring; apt-get install ubuntu-extras-keyring; but he might also try another repository host like us.. [09:31] well, there was that bzip2 error, which makes me wonder [09:32] Can anyone suggest a good linux distro for my macbook pro 8,1 ? [09:32] scientes: songxk_: sacarlson: I have tried that all. And I have posted the errors, anything else? [09:32] * scientes isn't a fan of bzip2...but OOM is unlikely [09:32] I sometimes have problems after resuming from hibernation: A lot of UI elements are not clickable, awn dock for example. It keeps displaying stuff (cpu indicator) fine, however. Running stuff via alt+f2 doesn't work. I can type in open terminals, as soon as I press enter, nothing happens anymore. If I try to use tab completion, nothing happens anymore. I can't login via ssh, it asks for the password, then nothing happens anymore. Switching to text mod [09:32] e terminals (Alt+f1/f2/..., how are they called?) doesn't work. After a few minutes even the mouse cursor freezes. How do I fix this? What logs should I look at? Who do I blame? (Ubuntu 11.10 64bit) [09:32] FooBarMartijn, are you using nvidia or intel or AMD? [09:32] BlueWolf: change the repository host in synaptic to another location like usa or japan or ?? [09:32] FooBarMartijn, and which driver? [09:33] zw? whats zw? country code [09:34] scientes: zimbobway? [09:34] I've nfs mount point define in /etc/fstab. How to prevent the system mount nfs at the boot up time? [09:34] sacarlson: zimbobway? [09:35] How do I kill a process that is in use? [09:35] chinossuke wow I cant' type that fast [09:36] scientes, I'm using nvidia blob 173-updates, which is working fine, but I don't think that information is going to help FoobArrr [09:36] BriteLeaf: killall procname [09:36] thanks [09:36] scientes: you meant me? intel [09:36] i've define nfs mount point defined in /etc/fstab. How do i prevent system from mounting nfs source when starting up the system? [09:37] k, you didn't, nevermind [09:37] chinosuke: take it out of /etc/fstab [09:38] chinosuke: oh I think there is another way like add noauto [09:38] Have I misunderstood something about file name sorting? Can anyone please explain this to me: http://pastebin.com/kGYcJDS1 [09:38] sacarlson: is there another without chaning /etc/fstab? [09:39] chinosuke: well I guess if you force the server to be offline it will also not mount, but on the client side the /etc/fstab would have to be modified [09:39] previous i run gentoo and it has a netmount. so i disable this from default runlevel nfs will ot mount at startup. [09:40] chinosuke: there might be some tricks on services start that would also work [09:40] keeps saying no process found, but it still won't let me reinstall it because that file (that isn't there according to the OS) is still in use :/ === KaiSforza is now known as KAISforza [09:41] sacarlson: that is what i'm expecting "some service" :) [09:43] chinosuke: but seems easier to just disable auto mount with noauto in the line of /etc/fstab as seen http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [09:44] chinosuke: in eather case you would require root access to change it [09:46] sacarlson: i've like 20+ nfs mount point so just lazy to editing the file :) [09:49] chinosuke: we have some fancy features in editors called find and replace all [09:49] chinosuke: I know nothing of the services that need to change to disable it [09:51] sacarlson: thanks anyway! but find and replace method need more attention if i enter the wrong term. [09:51] chinosuke: that's what backups are for [09:52] chinosuke: in the time we chated I could have already mannualy edited the 20 lines [09:52] BriteLeaf, install htop, it's great [09:52] it's always better to kill processes with their internal exit commands though [09:54] sacarlson: I done that before : find and replace and backup. just need a quick trick disable the service for the future usage. [09:57] hello [09:59] Hello everyone [10:00] Hello all. I'm looking for a bare bones linux distro to compile VMWare. Anybody have any recommendations? [10:00] what are you looking to use it for [10:02] Just has a host os for VmWare Workstation [10:04] u4ia, why bare bones? if it's just for virtualization only - use esxi 5 [10:04] no other real function otherwise. Simple gui, good hardware support, running on a 32bit machine. [10:04] Direct X. [10:05] ESX doesn't do OpenGL or DirectX. [10:05] u4ia, workstation doesn't do directx either - just converts to opengl - don't build your hopes up on how good that it [10:05] *is [10:06] I've used XP as a host and it works fine. Even used WineD3D just fine. [10:07] So it's functional at least, vs not at all with ESXi/ESX. [10:08] I use Vsphere on my 64bit machines and directX and OpenGL work flawlessly. [10:09] But it leaves 32bit archs out in the cold, so host/VMWare works. Just trying to find the right flavor of linux. [10:11] sudo apt-get install no-ip2 will get me no-ip and install it, right? [10:11] I'm thinking CrunchBang might do the trick, just looking for other possible recommendations for a VMWare host. === zenix`away is now known as zenix` [10:12] ive got a couple real noob questions are they allowed here? [10:12] dman420: I would hope so. === Guest44050 is now known as Gurty [10:12] only if you pass the j [10:12] lmao [10:12] Getting an error 'Error splicing file: File too large' when trying to move a 6.7GB file onto a 16GB drive [10:12] NO!!!

[10:13] how do i add a folder to the left side of my file explorer ,... under the computer heading ,.. i want to add my Websites folder [10:14] u4ia: vfat It stops after 4.3GB [10:14] ok my first question is. when you do a command like cat blahblah > test.txt now what is that > called? like there is other options you can use like && and >> and | i know is used to pipe. what im looking for is maybe a tutorial or some more explanations on what all options i can use and what they are called in general [10:14] RedBunny: drag and drop? [10:14] no it dosent stay [10:14] hello [10:15] check out O'Riellys linux ,.... too [10:15] for learning ,..... im sure their new but i read a RedHat7.3 years ago [10:16] I've moved to TWM as my default window manager [10:16] Anomie: Sounds like your FS has a 4GB file limit. Try using a different filesystem, or break the files into 4GB (2^12 bytes) chunks [10:16] I'd like to know how I can enable sound [10:16] I've installed pavucontrol, for pulseaudio volume control, but no luck - it doesn't show devices. [10:16] u4ia: Yeah, I just seen on google. [10:16] maybe I'm missing some daemons? [10:16] !abs | dman420 [10:16] dman420: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [10:16] u4ia: I need to use this drive on a mac though so I suppose splitting it is my only option [10:17] Anomie: NTFS is fairly universal. [10:17] Is there a way to do that without a 3rd party app? [10:17] Anomie: You could try Fat32 of course. [10:17] raster man [10:18] i used to be such a rasta fanatic [10:18] er' reiser [10:18] dman420: for > | etc, like output redirection, check http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/special-chars.html [10:18] VCoolio: !abs in #bash says almost the complete opposite [10:19] geirha: I know, but I like this one, but I see the point [10:19] ABS is a terrible guide for beginners, as you have to know how to filter out the good parts from the buggy parts. [10:19] abs saves lives [10:19] but you still need to take care of your suspension in general [10:20] also, tyres are important [10:20] so, how about my pulseaudio issue? [10:20] any ideas anyone? [10:21] is ubuntu 12.04 still with the unity misunderstanding? [10:22] im having a little bit of trouble understanding that website coolio. what is the name for the different kind of options like & > | . i know like when you do a command then - symbol thats called an "option" what would those above be called? output redirection? ill start googlin that [10:22] imachine: I suck at sound but did you try gnome-alsamixer ? [10:22] dman420: so complare tldp.org to http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide, not everyone likes abs [10:22] sacarlson, i did not [10:23] I just go with Lubuntu and install Gnome. [10:23] sacarlson, but I think it maybe to do with the lack of pulse audio daemons on my client side [10:23] I really wann go minimal [10:23] so I try not to run all daemons [10:23] oh that website did the trick coolio thanks!! [10:23] just plain twm with a config [10:23] and the least possible clutter in the background. === vijeshm_ is now known as vijeshm [10:24] u4ia: what? [10:24] it looks so nice at the moment, I need not more - with nvidia's virtual desktop at 4096x2400 [10:24] I just happen to like music to ;p [10:25] I could just throw out the pulseaudio thing in general, i don't think I need it at all [10:25] I could use mp3blaster directly, but it says it can't find a mixer device. === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [10:26] imachine: I guess it's dependant on the application some apps may require pulseaudio to work at all maybe some don't, if you like music it's best not to mess with the sound infrastructure [10:27] sacarlson, I can use padsp or directly address /dev/mixer [10:27] but /dev/mixer is not there [10:27] so I can use pa, but it doesn't work, for some reason. [10:27] exploit/unix/webapp/php_vbulletin_template <~~ can anyone further help with what to do after i successfully completed this exploit on my server? [10:27] I'll debug... [10:27] imachine: oh it could be that the user doesn't have priv on mixer [10:27] Marzatta: what what? [10:28] sacarlson, no [10:28] i have a 1.5 tb hd from my win install that holds movies & music ,... how do i change the permissions to be able to back up to there ,...? [10:28] there's no mixer because there is pulseaudio [10:28] imachine: make sure that your user is a part of sound in user groups [10:28] imachine: or there's no mixer because there is no alsa [10:28] is there any webpage that I can find linux drivers? Specificly I am looking for a driver of a usb wireless adaptor [10:28] sacarlson, there are devices under /dev/snd/ [10:29] sacarlson, sq, timer, pcm devices, [10:29] u4ia: lubuntu + gnome? [10:29] imachine: did sound work from the livecd ? [10:29] Marzatta: Yeah, LXDE and Gnome. Beats Unity. [10:30] sacarlson, sound works in unity [10:30] sacarlson, but i run twm [10:30] I recon some daemons don't start [10:30] and permissions aren't granted [10:30] u4ia: Xfce beets all together. [10:31] imachine: yes as I said check your user to see what groups it belongs to [10:31] imachine: are you using the same user in unity as in twm? [10:31] well in group audio user pulse [10:31] so i recon user pulse is the user pulseaudio daemon runs at [10:31] now I only need to connect to that daemon [10:31] so prolly start some daemon with my .xinitrc [10:32] nvm [10:32] i'll sort it prolly [10:32] why do my toolbar icons disappear [10:32] Marzatta: Well, the point being, avoiding unity and still having the option for a lightweight windows manager and a full DE and avoiding Unity all together. [10:33] But whatever flavor of gui makes you happy. [10:34] u4ia: Xfce is the best. Xubuntu is much greater than Lubuntu. [10:34] Marzatta: Whatever makes you happy. [10:35] LXDE works fine for my needs when I need it. Normally I just use Gnome 3 classic on the desktop. [10:35] u4ia: agree.

[10:51] A|i3N, make sure your using adobe-flash not swf-player or whatever [10:51] it's not looking like it's lasting more than a few minutes [10:52] u4ia : tx i'll try that [10:52] slackin__ I used the flash player plugin, as far as I know, but I'll double check. [10:52] nullcall: the disk utility should make it easy to find and let you mount your hard drive so you can do your backups. [10:52] we threw 3 new cpu's onto it to check incase it's too bysy [10:52] still getting dropped connections. [10:52] A|i3N, if you just installed 'flash player plugin', in some distros, it defaults to swf-player [10:52] A|i3N, due to legal liscencing reasons [10:54] yeh, just got disconnected again. [10:54] console just drops out saying write failed: Broken pipe [10:54] i'm not leaving the console idle either, i'm working awya, trying to work on the layout of some files on that machine. [10:55] it even drops my screen session [10:55] slackin__ you might be right - I tried apt get adobe-flash - it tabbed completed it but did not find it. I'm using 10.04LTS freshly installed. [10:55] is there a grsecurity kernel [10:55] ? [10:55] so i can't re-attach to the screen session i open [10:56] slackin__ where can I get the real one? Do I need to install restricted extras? [10:57] A|i3N, yea, it probably is restricted due to license [10:57] A|i3N, i barely use ubuntu, but im a long term linux user [10:57] im not dead sure about how ubuntu does it [10:58] same here, unable to play flash movies, even after disabling gnash [10:58] pretty much the same as Debian, I thought. [10:58] slackin__ OK thanks I'll try the normal crap I would install lol, ubuntu restricted extras being one of them, maybe it'll have a codec that will help flash player out [10:58] hi. for some reason, sshing into a shell, running screen and typing C-a c to create a new screen actually kills the ssh connection as well as creating the screen [10:58] what can i do about that? [10:59] what drivers should i use for nvidia 6600go ? [10:59] airstrike i'm here over ssh, using screen myself, let me look into it [11:00] good night everyone! ttyl! [11:00] tried the latest nvidia drivers and x wont load [11:00] im surprised Gnash has gotten better [11:00] airstrike I use byobu, it's a shell around screen, try that [11:00] slackin__ I'm on a netbook that runs quake live really good but seems to choke on a flash video so I got something wrong in the software lol [11:01] hrm [11:01] i will [11:01] i'm heading off for work right now so i can't install byobu atm, but i'll try that next week [11:02] not a soul knows? [11:02] hello, this is offtopic, but is there anyone who can speak spanish who is willing to read and check a summary of a book for grammar/spelling mistakes? [11:02] !es [11:02] 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. [11:03] does ubuntu support remote graphical linux desktop access out-of-the-box? [11:04] drecute there's tight vnc [11:04] i don't want vnc [11:04] i want X11 [11:04] drecute: no. U gotta install a couple packages first [11:04] what packages? [11:04] Anyone have ideas what driver to use for nvidia 6600go ? [11:04] i thought it was a matter of configuring X [11:04] gmd, xephyr [11:05] s/gmd/gdm [11:05] are there ubuntu packages for this? [11:06] LjL: sorry - yes, it does. System -> Preferences -> remote desktop [11:06] anyone on here familiar with capture cards? [11:07] i'm trying to find one with component input that is compatible with ubuntu === tegra_y is now known as tegra [11:08] A|i3N: I think that's just one step [11:08] true: I think most hauppague video capture cards have been historically very compatible. [11:10] A|i3N: there are other steps which are required to have ubuntu inside xephyr [11:10] drecute: if both systems are running ubuntu then it shouldn't be a prob but you'll have to install an ssh server. Hang I'll try to tell you what it is [11:10] there's more to it [11:10] i'm virtualizing from solaris using xephyr display [11:11] u4ia: i got my partion by disk utility but i cant mount that its take aprox 20 min but no respose [11:11] so I guess there should be support for this on ubuntu [11:12] ok Im experiencing irc fukedmymind syndrome. I was trying to answer LjL lol [11:12] !brainstorm| drecute [11:12] drecute: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [11:12] nullcall: drive crash perhaps? [11:13] Anyone have ideas what driver to use for nvidia 6600go ? [11:13] nullcall: I'd turn the computer off for a few hours, let it chill for a bit then try again, booting from a live CD/USB... [11:13] fenis: Check Nvida's support website. [11:13] fenix even. [11:14] joined [11:14] drecute: ya sounds like you just run ssh -X host; run gui app ; and it will be displayed on your remote [11:15] u4ia, issue is that there are no menu listed for notebooks 6series gpu [11:15] hi sacarlson: hru [11:15] ddd [11:17] fenix: I would think they would have unified drivers for that class of video cards. [11:17] no [11:17] u4ia, checking supported models the go series are not listed in 6600 [11:17] 6* [11:17] u4ia, i tried latest nvidia drivers from ubuntu rep and x would not load.... [11:18] fenix: so you probably won't find a driver specifically made for your video chipset, but one that covers the whole 6xxx class. [11:18] and nouevou drivers are crappy [11:18] it won't work without xephyr [11:18] it is called multiple nested X sessions [11:18] u4ia, yes but doesnt the latest nvidia driver from ubuntu rep already support whole 6series? [11:19] fenix: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [11:19] fenix: I don't think so. [11:20] Since Nvidia drivers aren't "free" or opensources, they wouldn't be in the distro or the repositories. [11:20] Ubuntu would just use generic VESA. [11:20] u4ia, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-295.33-driver.html [11:20] seems lite the latest one covers 6series [11:20] like* [11:21] Well give those a shot. :) [11:21] i tried latest from ubuntu rep and all i got was input/output error when loading c [11:21] x* [11:22] so don't rely on the ubuntu repositories for your Nvidia drivers. Nvidia is pretty good about providing drivers for Linux. [11:22] good yes but installing with their script is crappy [11:22] Whatever you gotta to to get it working, eh? [11:29] Just checking: moments ago, I submitted a bug to launchpad.net. I wanted to make sure launchpad.net is from ubuntu, and not some scammer site? [11:30] !launchpad | ruudjah [11:30] ruudjah: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [11:32] thanks. This was not entirely clear.

[11:40] yep [11:40] but separately: rar x [11:40] "x" extract [11:40] I'm experience very sluggish graphical performance in my Ubuntu 11.10 installation. Can anyone suggest me what data to collect in order to identify the cause of it? So far the only thing I've noticed is X Server CPU Utilisation spiking when scrolling in chrome or accessing dash.

[11:41] jessie: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm [11:41] VictorCL: if you are using ubuntu 11.10 only do double click on the archive and then hit "extract" button [11:42] jessie: other things to note http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/ht/bootusbflash.htm [11:42] curiousx, it will only extract folders and some files [11:42] not all of them [11:42] SlimG_, were you able to find it?

[11:47] sacarlson:WENT to same old OS [11:48] jessie: ok then you need to setup bios as shown above [11:48] sacarlson :sure im going thru it [11:49] jessie: ok and all bios are different so you might have to explore the bios options [11:49] VictorCL: http://190.177.158.162/banner.html [11:49] Hello,I am newbie of ubuntu cloud,How can I find documents in the web site?I can't find it = = === anthony is now known as AnthonyT88 [11:52] eno_: ubuntu cloud or ubuntuone? [11:53] sacarlson: u r from which country [11:53] the cloud.....when I install the server CD-ROM [11:53] Hong Kong [11:53] sry idk about it [11:54] jessie: I'm from Hawaii USA, but now reside in Thailand, English is my first and only language [11:54] sacarlson:good what do u do [11:55] jessie: this is not a chat site [11:55] !ot =P [11:55] sacarlson:sorry [11:56] What cloud can do?Are the cloud = clustering? [11:57] more like distributed data. [11:58] decentralized data stored throughout a wide area network. [11:59] so, if I want to do clustering, I don't need cloud ,right? [12:00] a lot of people make the mistake of labeling access to their online content "cloud computing" or "cloud storage," when it's really just available online. [12:01] no, you don't need a "cloud" to do "clustering" or distributed tasks. [12:01] May I know what cloud computing do? [12:02] eno: Try google or wikipedia for more information. [12:02] thx [12:04] Using Gnome with Ubuntu 10.04. How do i make sure Sleep keyboard key is not used for activating Sleep mode? I have reassigned it to Lock Screen in keyboard config, but it only works till next reboot. [12:04] you want to disable the sleep key ? [12:05] i want it to lock the screen [12:05] "cloud computing" is access to data and "applications" online where the content is distributed/decentralized across multiple resources and accessed over a network. [12:05] but upon reboot, the layout change i made is discarded, pressing the key has the Sleep Mode effect again [12:05] VMWare VSphere is a good example of cloud computing. [12:06] i want to upgrade all packages of ubuntu can i do that ? [12:06] hi [12:06] tegra sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [12:06] tegra: sudo apt-get update , then sudo apt-get upgrade [12:06] there is an unstable version ? [12:06] tegra, sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade [12:06] tegra, development version in #ubuntu+1 [12:07] ok thanks [12:07] Oh,the Vsphere......I know that [12:07] Rebooted twice now, and it still say this when starting up: *** /dev/sdb1 will be checked for errors at next reboot *** how to NOT make it check the disk for errors each time the computer restart? (btw i have no physical access to it, only via ssh, so i dont really know if its checking the disk or not on boot) [12:07] on a ubuntu irc channel on debian... embaressing [12:07] Hans_Henrik disable fsck, lemme find out [12:08] Hans_Henrik: there is a flag for that in /etc/fstab , the last column 1 replace with 0 for the partition [12:09] Hans_Henrik what alogic says, plus this, maybe it's helpful http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/12/tuning-the-filesystem-check-at-bootup/ [12:10] Have some problems with Adobe Reader and Firefox. Can only open one pdf and after I just get a blank screen. [12:10] tegra: you can also look into synaptic and select status>installed>upgradable> markallupgrades >apply [12:10] Dont have access to root so is there a solution if you only have user-space access? [12:13] BlauskaerM, whats wrong with the native pdf reader [12:13] BlauskaerM: there is chroot but I'm not sure what you could do with it as like install a virtualbox in it so you become a super user in user space or?? [12:14] bazhang: It craches for some reason when I read some PDF:s =/ [12:15] BlauskaerM: and also I don't have any problems viewing pdf files with the default viewer [12:15] BlauskaerM, you're talking about acroread from the medibuntu.org repos? [12:15] hi guys. I tried to upgrade Ubuntu 10.04, but I didn't use 'do-release-upgrade' and I screwd something it up, and now when I try 'do-release-upgrade' i get 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'. Command 'aptitude search ~b' shows plenty of results, do I have to handle all of them by hand? [12:15] BlauskaerM: oh some not all so maybe the pdf files are corrupt also you might have other apps that will view pdf installed that won't crash [12:16] lastest flashplayer update is throwing a buggy flash version, the youtube videos got blue, how can I downgrade it? [12:16] killown, you cannot [12:16] just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and it Used to be configured to directly login to the user "mark", now it wont log in automatically.. how do i tell 11.10 to login automatically to the user "mark" ? [12:16] so ubuntu developers need to do something, this flash version is garbage [12:16] insert, please be more specific than "screwed somethng up" [12:17] sacarlson: The PDFs that I'm reading workds fine with Adobe and FOXIT (or whatever the name is on the reader in windows) but not with the ubuntu standrad one [12:17] killown, thats an adobe issue [12:17] insert: I think at this point you will have to install a fresh copy from like livecd, I'm sure you backed up every thing before upgrade [12:17] Just switch to debian, ubuntu is based on it anyway [12:17] bazhang, because that the developers will do nothing? [12:17] it9001, thats not helpful [12:18] bazhang: I think you'll find it is :/ === Adys_ is now known as Adys [12:18] it9001, dont do that here. thanks. [12:18] BlauskaerM: more clues might be found from what did you use to view the pdf file in ubuntu? [12:18] if yes, then ubuntu is not for final users [12:18] bazhang: I can't upgrade to the newer version, /etc/issue still shows "Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS \n \l" [12:18] BlauskaerM: I think there are like 5 or more pdf viewer in ubuntu and probly more in linux [12:18] insert, does it tell you what packages are broken? [12:19] insert, did you check synaptic to look for more than LTS releases [12:19] sacarlson: Its evince [12:19] sacarlson: As I said, I dont have root access so cant install anything [12:19] use su? [12:19] or sudo.. [12:19] it9001, no [12:20] BlauskaerM: seems there is already a bug open http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler-bugs/2006-November/000713.html [12:20] BlauskaerM: oh but that's like 2006 [12:20] bazhang: I modified /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and changed 'prompt=lts' to 'prompt=normal' [12:20] BlauskaerM, is this a wubi install, or a real install [12:21] BlauskaerM: here's one in 2009, not sure what version of ubuntu you run https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/419777 [12:21] Launchpad bug 419777 in evince (Fedora) "evince crash when read pdf file" [Unknown,Confirmed] [12:21] bazhang: Dont know, how do I check that? [12:21] BlauskaerM, and did you get acroread from medibuntu.org repos or where [12:21] T-b0n3: do-release-upgrade does not, but 'sudo aptitude search ~b' shows some results [12:21] BlauskaerM, wubi is from within windows [12:22] So you guys enjoying unity? [12:22] You know, that thing you can't remove :) [12:22] !ot | it9001 [12:22] it9001: #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!

[12:22] it9001: no I run gnome-shell [12:22] how is that offtopic* [12:23] it9001, this is not the talking about ubuntu channel. this is support only take it to #ubuntu-offtopic for idle chit chat [12:23] bazhang: they* === jono is now known as Guest86076 === Guest86076 is now known as adha [12:25] bazhang: BlauskaerM is not a sudo or root user [12:25] can I automatically reinstall all broken packages? [12:25] sacarlson, why would he need to be to read pdfs [12:25] insert: sudo apt-get -f install may help [12:26] bazhang: I don't know many pdf docs in school so I guess they might need it sometimes [12:26] bazhang: oh he notes it crashes on open of some pdfs [12:26] bastidrazor: at the end it just showed '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 593 not upgraded.' [12:26] sacarlson, plus he does not even know if its a wubi install, if its acroread from mediubuntu and other useful tidbits [12:27] is there a specific md5 signature to follow when posting md5 sums? like : filename.ext > 23847238472893472934 ? [12:27] !hashes | brontosaurusrex [12:27] brontosaurusrex: See http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/11.10/MD5SUMS for the md5sums of the latest Ubuntu release [12:27] insert, would it be an idea to apt-get remove the broken packages and try reinstalling them? [12:27] bazhang: we didn't get the ubuntu version but we did get that the app is evince [12:28] bazhang: hash *filename (what is * for?) [12:29] join #ubuntu [12:29] please I have a bug on latex compilation : Package ucs Error : please activate 'combine' \backslashbox{type}{année} [12:29] T-b0n3: yes, that would be good [12:30] insert: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..what output does that give you? [12:31] brontosaurusrex: that means files are treated as binary ones. md5sum has a mode when whitespaces are ignored, in that case you wouldn't have an asterisk. [12:32] bastidrazor: I tried that some time ago because I thought this is a proper way to upgrade, but it didn't upgrade to the newest distribution, /etc/issue shows 10.04 [12:32] is it possible to connect to a wireless network from the command line? [12:32] insert: that isn't suppose to change the distro version. [12:33] what keywoards should I google in order to find out how? [12:33] bastidrazor: do you think to run it now? At the end, I'd like to upgrade to Ubuntu 11 [12:34] insert: how did you mess up the upgrade before? [12:34] kandinski: yes; with iwconfig [12:34] kandinski: guess this would work as a start - http://www.wirelessdefence.org/Contents/LinuxWirelessCommands.htm [12:35] and yes, iwconfig is the star player there. [12:35] kandinski: if encrypted wifi might require more with wpa-supplicant [12:35] is there a way to hide .css file from users of webpage. put it in a folder from where only webserver apache can access it. and user cannot access the .css directly . any way? [12:35] mcloy: what's the point? Your going to send the user the information anyway [12:36] if you're using CSS there's no way to hide it from user, it can be reached with Firebug or similar tools of other browsers. [12:36] Hi. Need some advice. Looking to resurrect an old PC I dug up from the attic recently. Specs are 2.6GHz Celeron, 512Mb RAM, 80Gb HDD, Nvidia 5200 Graphics etc. Currently has an original copy of XP Pro on it. Currently getting the Lubuntu 11.10 torrent (it's at 95%). But I'm reluctant as I've read that Xubuntu is good as well. From your experience, which would be best given the specs? If not, should I use another distro altogther? Choices, choices... [12:36] . [12:36] jrib, just dont want the user to save the .css [12:37] mcloy: why? The user could easily determine the rules anyway [12:37] bastidrazor: sudo apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, sudo apt-get install -f, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get clean all, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get get -f install, sudo apt-get clean all, sudo apt-get autoremove, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, [12:37] mcloy, it is always saved somewhere automatically. That's how the web works. [12:37] jors: it's more than enough for pretty much any ubuntu-based distro including the current one. [12:38] ubuntu 11.10 i mean. [12:38] mcloy, have you invented a really awesome css-technique or why are you afraid of that? [12:38] insert: none of those commands will upgrade you to a newer distro version. [12:38] bastidrazor: something like that, this is what my history shows. Probably I should have run do-release-upgrade and that's all :/ [12:38] You mean Unity3D as well, wouldn't that be a bit much for it?? [12:38] bastidrazor: well, now I know [12:38] mcloy: they can clone your site with wget or other tools in a few secounds, so seems pointless [12:38] jors: no, i'm using it on machine with really similar specs. [12:38] rumpe1, i sell css. and when i show demos of webs. people copy .css while viewing it [12:39] sacarlson, ^ [12:39] bastidrazor: and now do-dist-upgrade says 'E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ' [12:39] mcloy: that's why you get legal help for theft [12:39] mcloy: it's not really a technology issue [12:40] insert, what happens when you do sudo apt-get -f install [12:40] ? [12:40] mcloy: I guess you can only give them screen shots of your sites to prevent that then [12:40] insert: okay, how did you get to that point? those commands would not have broken anything. [12:40] insert : sudo apt-get install --fix-broken sudo apt-get autoclean [12:40] sudo apt-get autoremove [12:41] insert : try it [12:41] ikonia, sacarlson is there no other technique . using frames. flash.. dont know........

[12:52] jpds: Only rename kdm and lightdm? is that enough? I didn't see anything about x or xorg. [12:52] worm: Yes.

[14:34] Down_to_Earth, why ask here? you need to resize using windows tools [14:34] mustmodify: likely not. touchscreens will probably be usb-based ones and those should, if written properly, be hot-pluggable much like usb keyboards and mice [14:34] sirknight: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_in_Linux [14:34] Down_to_Earth, you cannot resize the windows os from within wubi [14:35] sparky: That's what I'm hoping.

[14:35] mustmodify: but, barring space issues, the best solution might be to use one set of keyboard/mouse and run a software that "magically" morphs the mouse/keyboard to another OS when your move cross the screen boundary [14:35] mustmodify: (that means setting up three displays :-)) [14:35] bazhang, Thank you for the second statement, and if i knew the answer, would i have asked here? :p [14:36] Thank you, for you guy's help. :] [14:36] bazhang, the problem only with flash player. with vlc, totem, mplayer everything is fine [14:36] Down_to_Earth, there is a channel here on freenode that can help with that ##windows [14:36] sirknight: It sounds like some people have actually gotten Dragon running on Linux with Wine. [14:37] but i dont have it:( but thanks i didnt know that.. link please [14:37] sirknight: There are some references in that wikipedia article. [14:37] keep an eye out for Google's voice recognition API ... that would be the same API they use to transcribe voicemail into text to send to your email (the Google Voice service) [14:38] and what about wine? [14:38] Hi there. it seems that I need the nvidia-current pakcage (295) from precise , but that wants to update half of my system with it, is there a way to get that package without all these dependencies on 11.10 ? [14:38] flami: You could instead use the xorg-edgers ppa [14:38] Oh then lemme google for that . thanks [14:39] flami: are you up to building your own package? you should be able to grab the source and build it on your system maybe after a few adjustments [14:39] sirknight: I don't have any recent experience with WINE, but I did get WoW to work under it a few years ago. It was fun. [14:40] well I need the new driver so the cuda sdk 4.1 runs. so I can build stufff. I dont quite know how to build the nvidia binary driver ... well since its a binary driver :P [14:40] flami, maybe but what i heard is that you are better off to recompile the package to have it work ... nvidea is the better of the two packages though [14:40] I vaguely remeber that apt-get could build packages [14:40] flami: you don't build the nvidia driver, its not open source [14:41] yes I am aware of that. I wanna build a package [14:41] Hi. I'm running Ubuntu 10.4. Trying to start a java program gets me "/usr/share/java/bin/java: no such file or directory". Any hints? [14:41] bazhang, when the video is embedded - everything ok wiith color. but when i'm watching directly from youtube blue faces happens) [14:41] salut [14:42] !fr | hed_ [14:42] hed_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [14:42] well repackage the binary driver to be like the original nvidia-current package. thus avoiding these hillarious situations where everything gets bricked because the drinver isntaller did something (tm) [14:42] so is there a way to backport teh nvidia-current package? [14:44] well taht xorg edgers ppa looks primising though [14:45] flami: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+index?batch=75&memo=75&start=75 is the page of the xorg-edgers PPa which shows the nvidia driver versions, the 11.10 and 12.04 are identical. I would probably try that first. [14:45] is there a text-to-speech software for ubuntu? [14:45] genii-around: thats what I was thinking too. [14:45] flami: just so you know, if something goes wrong you need to get in contact with the ppa maintainer [14:46] lets hope not :P [14:46] flami: As when using any external repository, support may not be available from the channel here if things go horribly wrong, etc etc [14:46] guys [14:47] I am installing ubntu 11.10 server with encyrpted lvm. [14:47] where can i disable hardware acceleration in adobe flash [14:47] command-line style [14:47] sheesh I should start bitching about having propblems compiling an experimental version of hpl . ^^ [14:47] During installation it asks if it wants to encrypt my home partition for my username [14:47] If I select yes, does it do like double encryption? [14:48] anyone use kubuntu? [14:48] hed_: The folks in #kubuntu channel do [14:48] hed_, yes [14:48] panset: what do you mean with double encryption? [14:48] where i can change layout keybord to thinkpad T60? [14:49] thnx > genii [14:49] flami: See, as the I already have 'encrypted LVM' so all data is encrypted, BUT later in the installation when setting up username and pass stuff, it asks if I want to ecnrypt my home dir. [14:50] i have asus k4 w amd graph card [14:50] So since the disk are already LVM encrypted, does the home directory encryption does another layer of encryption on existing encrypted LVM? [14:51] panset: well if its all in an encrypted lvm you dont really need to encrypt that again [14:51] so i instal ubuntu and my notebook go riiculous [14:51] everyone use precise? [14:51] robotboy, how so [14:51] panset: since the home folder encryption is uhmmm well I forgot what it was , it wanst lvm [14:51] slipttees, in #ubuntu+1 [14:51] touchpad not function [14:51] sound very bad [14:51] no grapc driver [14:52] bazhang: no one help :( [14:52] slipttees, be patient, thats the channel for it [14:52] so i goback for windows [14:52] bazhang: i need configure my keyboard layout to thinkpad t60. [14:52] panset: the home folder encryption is done with ecryptfs , so it would encrypt your encryxpted lvm again. [14:52] =0 robotboy will go back to windows =0 [14:52] traitor =( [14:52] After upgrading to new Beta I get a error: no arguments specified. How can I solve this ? [14:52] bazhang: u know that? [14:52] i am average user [14:53] xD [14:53] robotboy: you came here for help or just to tell us you are going back to windows? [14:53] slipttees, then ask for support in the correct channel and be patient [14:53] not programer or so [14:53] flami: ah I see, is there any significant performance degradation in two encryptions? [14:53] =/ thanks for nothing bazhang [14:53] :/ [14:53] u can help me how to run ubuntu like in my windows [14:53] panset: its completely useless . also yes :P [14:53] slipttees, this is the wrong channel. 12.04 is supported in #ubuntu+1 NOT here [14:54] hey [14:54] robotboy: in windows? so you want a wubi install? [14:54] panset: you basically get the performancs hit of decrypting the filesystem, then dcrypting the encrypted container that is your homefolder. [14:54] hello again. anyone here familiar with launchpad. I am on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=precise [14:54] robotboy: install ubuntu in your disk [14:54] and I would like to open a new issue. What I am missing is the link [14:55] thank you in advance for any hints ;) [14:55] flami: thanks, I will just use LVM encyption with a good passphrase then [14:55] and you will recive our support =) [14:55] flami: also since its going to be server, is there any advantage of encryption, for example, does it protect anymore than usual if someone breaks into server? [14:55] New Beta gives boot error and hangs/crash when using. ubuntu+1 has to little (or no) support. Are their alternatives to continue using my PC ? [14:56] Whats the best way to set an internal static IP? Via router or Via Ubuntu, or both?? [14:56] panset: if you are the only user, that would be teh best way I think . the nice part of ecryptfs is that every user can "chose" ( depending if the are inn the right group) to encrypt or not [14:56] E3D3: #ubuntu+1 is where 12.04 is supported until release [14:56] panset, may I ask what is the max size of passphrase? === hybrid_ is now known as o0o0o [14:57] auronandace: Thanks, do you also know when final release is ? [14:57] flami: I see [14:57] p [14:57] E3D3: not sure of the exact date, but it is in april [14:57] ironm: max phrase could be anything I guess, it recommends above 20 character [14:57] auronandace: Thanks, I guess I beter wait until then. [14:58] panset: the only thing encryption protect from is when your box gets physically stolen. opnce it is running an attacker can read your stuff [14:58] panset: thus I never saw the point of encrypting a server. [14:58] panset, I mean if there is a limitation like 256 characters or so ... [14:58] but i won't give up the battle against racism even if it hides behind in the dutch ubuntu community [14:59] panset: if you want strong separation of services and users maybe look into LXC for containerbased virtualisation. [14:59] flami: hmm exactly the later part, since it would be no use of encryption on running server. Hmmm [14:59] ironm: no idea :| [14:59] i need configure my keyboard layout to thinkpad t60. [14:59] how can help? [15:00] slipttees, you mean "who can help?" .. [15:00] slipttees, what version of ubuntu [15:00] sparky: give me a push please... how do I tell X to use the software to render the mouse rather than hardware? [15:00] flami: 'chroot on steroids'. interesting, thanks! [15:02] panset: LXC istn quite as good as openvz yet when it comes to isolaton. but openvz only runs on 2.6.32 . ( its in debian squeeze) . also you could look into kvm to have complete virtualisation, which has a higher performance impact, but you can run anything in a virtual machine.

Is there a way to regenerate it? [15:10] panset: you could make a continer with whatever new distro, there are sometimes issues with libc being to new for the kernel though [15:11] or if someone could just paste theirs somewhere, that would work [15:11] Can I using Clustering for my web server?

I have an ATI 6880, do I really need the privative drivers? [16:51] sddhthrt, what is the difference? I haven't noticed anything [16:51] jonathanellis, also, you'll likely have better support with the libre Chromium from Ubuntu's repositories than the proprietary Google Chrome from Google's repos [16:51] sddhrthrt: If I do that, will extensions like offline gmail still work?

Google Chrome is basically Chromium, plus some Google branding and a few Google tracking features. But, since Chromium is libre, it's in the Ubuntu repos and is likely better tested/supported and such.

[16:55] not to mount [16:55] afaik [16:55] balleyne, what does linuxprinting.org say about that printer [16:55] pg345, should it take so long. [16:55] sddhrthrt, what shall I type in mount ponit ?

[17:56] luizqwerty @ use pastebin [17:56] it also has issues when i do an update, flash will not download/install [17:56] after that, post the link link. don't copy-paste large messages in here so we can all understand each other [17:56] DoctorD, what I meant was.. Any recommended apps I should install ? :D Or something special I should do to make ubuntu extra awesome ? ^^ [17:56] thanks bazhang :) [17:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/907610/ [17:57] yzhd @ well..you don't need any special software..you can visual customize it if you are interested. [17:57] yzhd, you could get glx-dock (cairo dock), and enable some of the compiz stuff thats not enabled [17:57] zelozelos, thanks :D will try [17:57] Busby, access the link [17:58] I'm open for any recommendation :) [17:58] cool i got it thanks [17:58] you can use this configuration file [17:58] yzhd, be carefull with compiz if you plan on changing it, its still kinda querky [17:58] dell, I wanted see the headphone channel in alsamixer [17:58] zelozelos, wow... it's like on max, looks awesome! [17:58] pay attetion with the last 4 lines (configuration of tcp ports of the passive ftp feature) [17:59] Cristian_c, probably it'll be in the edit>Preferences or Edit>Options.I don't use Alsa Mixer so I don't exactly know where it is [17:59] i need flash, it was disabled/broken recently via update, now it wont install? what do i need to do? [17:59] yzhd @ Ubuntu doesn't need softwares like on Windows. You have the Ubuntu Software Center where you can install a lot of stuff and see each one what can do if you have time to waste..or how i said, customize it using Compiz. [17:59] ok so the only other question I have is this does this have a gui interface for management as I am very new to ubuntu and find it a bit easier having a gui at the moment [17:59] zelozelos, what do you mean? it's dangerous to install compiz ? I don't want to screw up anything.. as I did some days ago.. had to re install ubuntu. [17:59] HackerZedi, alsamixer is executed in the terminal [18:00] I installed ubuntu oneiric and added kde-desktop. Everything seems to have installed correctly. However, when I try to login, I see the kde splash screen h and then a black screen with only the cursor. Is there anything special that needs to be done for it to work? I want an installation that has unity/gnome/kde available. [18:00] yzhd @ it's buggy. he means to be carefull on how you manage to edit the settings there [18:01] pg345: you probably meant kubuntu-desktop? [18:01] yzhd, not dangerous, just a little buggy, esp if you want to enable cube or other options which arent already enabled [18:01] DoctorD, I see. You think it's worth installing it? [18:02] zelozelos, are there any other docks for ubuntu ? (stable), I don't really like the dock on the left side [18:02] bastidrazor: aptitude install kde-full [18:02] yzhd, the one on the left is unity, you can change desktop manager by logging out, and selecting another like gnome classic [18:02] pg345: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [18:02] pg345: the proper package is kubuntu-desktop [18:02] yzhd @ i used to play with compiz and liked. but i prefer to use default settings and do my stuff & work at great performance. but if you feel more comfortable to have everything more smooth , then do it. also, you must have a graphic card and some good RAM [18:03] thanks i'll try that [18:03] Hi.... Good evening. :) [18:03] yzhd, also you can install more managers, i use kde (plasma) sometimes and xfce [18:03] Cristian_c, then try googling it because I never used it in the Terminal.I used the Gnome-ALSA-Mixer once before on my BackTrack.If you've got software center then try installing Gnome-ALSA-Mixer and use the HeadPhone vol controller from it [18:03] DoctorD, how can I check my graphic card on linux ? [18:03] can somebody please reply?? i am not sure whether i am properly connected to irc!!! [18:03] DoctorD, ubuntu * [18:03] Busby, if you want a GUI to manage your server resources, deinstall webmin and try Red Hat Enterprise (or any clone like Scientific Linux or CentOS) [18:03] neo1691, we read u [18:03] zelozelos, thanks :) [18:04] yzhd @ how much video memory do you have ? [18:04] HackerZedi, sorry, I don'use gnome :( [18:04] DoctorD, have no idea :/ but I have 3gb ram [18:04] is flash currently broken, or is it just my system? [18:04] *don't [18:04] Now , i am having a problem with gwibber. twitter and facebook both accounts are added yet notifications are there only for twitter not facebook!! [18:04] luizqwerty thanks for your help I will look into the info that you have given me [18:05] HackerZedi, I'm using lxde [18:05] yzhd @ you can try to see how your computers reacts when using Extra visual effects ( Right click -> change desktop background -> Visual effects tab [18:05] this dock : http://lowendmac.com/ed/bgray/11bg/art/ubuntu-shot-2.jpg looks nice too. it's called docky [18:05] yzhd @ yeah. i have it a long time ago when i started to use first time ubuntu [18:06] hey all, I got really really surprised just now ! Ubuntu stayed totally unresponsive and HD churning away like mad for more than 5 minutes !! what the hell might have happened ? [18:06] yzhd, there are a few docks in the repo, and a few more online that you'll prob need to compile to work correctly [18:06] I mean, I could not do anything to try to figure out what was going on... [18:06] Cristian_C, I'm Sorry but I've never used lxde before so suggest you google you problem. [18:06] yzhd, but the one with the most is gonna be cairo (glx-dock_ [18:06] DoctorD, can't find visual effects tab ? [18:06] I'm suspecting Firefox... is it known to do that ? [18:07] HackerZedi, I tried to google, but I found nothing :8 [18:07] *:( [18:07] zelozelos, I actually just want a dock that works nice (stable), I don't need that much customization. Which one do you think is the most stable? [18:07] hi [18:07] yzhd @ i don't know very well the 11 version. i have 10.04 LTS. [18:07] sorin_ @ hi, Romania ? [18:07] cristian_c: what is the issue? we also have #lubuntu [18:07] anyone having problems with gwibber like me?? No notifications for facebook!! Only twitter.. I am on 10.04 LTS [18:07] ubuntu 12.04 its ok to use? [18:07] sorin_: no [18:07] yzhd, any of them in the repo will work most likely without any issues [18:07] why [18:08] sorin_: its a beta [18:08] DoctorD, I see. Thanks anyways. Will google it ;) [18:08] beta 2 [18:08] sorin_: as i said, its beta [18:08] yzhd: no problem. google or duckduckgo can solve you problems. [18:08] cristian_c, Then I guess you should use the Master to change your Volume [18:08] sorin_: doesnt matter if beta 1, beta 2 or beta 938475 [18:08] iceroot, I can't see the headphone channel in alsamixer [18:08] sorin_, discussion in #ubuntu+1 [18:08] cristian_c: usb headphone?

The port is not accessible. Any ideas?

[19:18] escott, good question ! How can I check that ? [19:18] penthium2, no idea :) [19:18] \o/ [19:19] Riton_1 : let me reboot after this. [19:19] penthium2, it sounds like something unusual has been changed in your shadow config. either you installed some alternate crypt library or have some kind of ldap/active directory setup [19:19] but is a good security from cracker :D no-ones can change my pass :D [19:19] Escott: it says Disk Boot Failure [19:20] let me restart and see if I get the same message and I can capture it to paste here. Be right back after rebooting === anonymous is now known as Guest269 [19:20] vspvilli, is this coming from the bios or grub? would you know the difference? [19:21] http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-106928 [19:21] escott : not much knowledgeable on that. just planning to switch completely from windows to ubuntu. worked in ubuntu environment but never troubleshooted installation and boot problems. [19:21] python [19:22] #list [19:22] vspvilli, ok im suspicious that your bootloader is not installed onto the mbr correctly or that the bios is not booting the correct disk [19:22] vspvilli, are you in a livecd right now? [19:22] yes [19:23] escott: when I went to bios, I can see the master and slave disks and I installed the os on the master one [19:24] vspvilli, so this is actually ata? wow. two disks? [19:24] escott : yes [19:25] escott: actually I have 5 disck, 2 SATA and 2 onboard IDE's and one with ULTRA DMA card [19:25] escott: It just got better :D [19:25] vspvilli, and your ubuntu / is on this ultra-dma riser card. why do you have that in there? does it do raid or something === ygolde is now known as joshy [19:26] escott : I disconnected all the others and just kep SATA drives two of them and installed OS on one disk === joshy is now known as joshy612 [19:26] vspvilli, so where are you seeing anything about master/slave? [19:26] escott : when I bought that disk with 200 gb windows did not recognize fully, hence I installed that card but not for raid [19:27] escott: in bios I can see my two sata drives are showing as master0 and slave [19:27] vspvilli, so you are not using AHCI then [19:27] https://mysite/get?file=bal.json&year=$year&month=$month&day=$day&hour=12 in the following url what all would i need to escape to be able to utilize properly in my script [19:27] i did & symbol and equals signs but im not getting data back [19:28] vspvilli, well this config is a bit beyond me. if there is something in the bios that needs changing i would not know what it is or how to do it. i can walk you through a chroot reinstall of the bootloader onto the mbr, but thats about all i can do [19:29] escott : may be not . I am not familiar with that [19:29] vspvilli, can you identify what device "/dev/sdX#" is the ubuntu root and (if you have a boot partition what partition that is) [19:30] qucik question , is ubuntu 12.4 ready to be used as a development apache server? [19:30] escott : thanks so much for the suggestions. I just did boot repair with the tool as suggested by Riton_1. Let me restart the machine and I see if that fixed the problem. Otherwise I will log back to chat again from liveCD [19:30] is it possible to get two application bars in unity? (the one on the left side) [19:30] vspvilli, you might want to install the bootloader onto both disks [19:31] scott : can I get the right information about the question u asked about device from livecd by running df-k command [19:32] escott: give me few min let me try reboot this guy and see if there is any change my fate [19:33] hello, somehow uvcvideo is not loaded on boot, when I do sudo modprobe uvcvideo lucid kernel does not complain but I do not get a /dev/video how can I fix this problem? [19:33] how can I swap my '=' with '+' in my keyboard layout? [19:33] escott : I did not create any partitions. I just installed with default option on /dev/sda1 drive I thought system will take care of it. when I try to play around with partitions, it is asking for swap partition etc, hence I thought I don't want to go in that route [19:33] it was laoded months ago, when I last made a video conference [19:33] Hello. I "installed" Xubuntu 11.10 64-Bit on my USB-Stick via the start media creator (I hope that's how it's called, I use German Xubuntu). That all works great...Updates, language pack, software installations, documents and settings are all saved. The only problem is that when I try to delete something it says there's no trash folder and it also couldn't be created. Can I fix this? It really annoys that I always have to delete files via the [19:33] is my video device dead? [19:33] Terminal... [19:34] escott : let me reboot this [19:34] and will be back again either way [19:35] When I open any program it shows up in top left but in the place that unity sidebar ends when its showed, but I have autohide on it and I wanna force programs to show up on the most left, how do I do that ? [19:35] I installed cairo dock and rebooted. Then I chose the dock from login screen. I booted.. I have the dock, but the status bar is gone. There's no way to get it back ? (cairo dock + status bar) or does it only work with the standard dock coming with ubuntu 11.10 ? === irdxafk is now known as irdx [19:42] can I apt-get dist-upgrade from 10.04beta1 to 10.04beta2? [19:43] TheBeast, the latency on your irc chat must be awful. 10.04beta was 2 years ago [19:43] escott: lmao [19:45] The Beast--http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [19:45] direct download 10.04.4 lts === ceco_ is now known as vyrgozunqk [19:46] Hi, if I copy my DVD repositories to the hard-drive, how do I tell ubuntu where to look for the repositories ? [19:46] scott : are you still there [19:46] not a http location. [19:46] vspvilli, yes [19:47] escot : thanks. After I reboot I can see the grub menu and it started fine. I tried three times reboot. Only issue I see I am unable to use my keyboard on grub menu [19:47] vspvilli, you would have to enable usb support in the bios [19:48] escott : I totally forgot that. I had this issue and did the same. [19:49] escott : I have bundle of stupid question but not sure whether I can use this forum or not [19:49] hi all, is here only english allowed? [19:49] vspvilli, go ahead [19:49] escott : now I removed all my other drives which are primary connected to my onboard IDE controller [19:50] escott : can I just hook them back again. will it disturb my current setting and will it disturb the grub and boot options [19:50] escott: as I want to boot only from this sata drive and use other drives as secondary drives [19:50] vspvilli, probably ok, just check the boot order in the bios in case any of the other disks are bootable [19:51] iam searching a software where i can connect with tv, dvd, ect. does somebody have an idea [19:51] hi - running 11.10here with an nv-gfx-card & nv-driver from nividia page installed. now i would like to switch from a single display-setup to dual-display-setup. i can easily configure that inside the nvidia driver (nvidia-settings) but writing that to the xorg file never worked successfully after reboot. any hints what might be best to finally get that dual-display setup permanent? [19:51] escott: I was under impression that it always checks for primary IDE to boot from. If I attach and if that does not work, and if I remove those drives again, will it cause issues to any of boot settings or grub settings [19:52] vspvilli, should be fine, [19:52] hello, somehow uvcvideo is not loaded on boot, when I do sudo modprobe uvcvideo kernel does not complain but I do not get a /dev/video how can I fix this problem? it was loaded on boot months ago, when I last made a video conference. Is my video device dead? [19:53] escott : in my bios I can just say boot from Hard Disk. I can't specify from which disk to boot or others are bootable hdd's [19:53] anyone here can help install neeed libs for a bare install of ubuntu 8 [19:53] ? [19:53] or refer me to a site that has instructions how to [19:53] vspvilli, it should be in there somewhere [19:53] !minimal | bnice [19:53] bnice: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:54] this is on a vps [19:54] ubnutu is already installed [19:54] escott : let me see [19:54] just need to know how to get all the right dependencies for stuff like eggdrops bncs seedboxes and such [19:55] how do i get rid of this horrible dock thing on the left hand side of my screen? [19:55] escott : thanks for the help. really appreciate the suggestions [19:55] it keeps popping up [19:55] !nounity | ballison [19:55] ballison: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [19:55] Riton_1 : the boot repair worked. Thanks so much [19:55] audacious, to the bitdump with you for being bad at CDs [19:55] what is it, and how do I kill it permanently ? [19:55] how can i get seq -w 09 to start printing with 00 [19:55] and onto 09 === jteguest is now known as sybase [19:56] there's no option in gnome-tweak-tool to disable to horrible dock thing. [19:57] nullp0inter: seq -w 0 09 [19:57] anyone? [19:57] have good night all ! My issue it is not solved ! I'll continus to change my password with another distrib and copy/past the hash via vipw -s [19:57] bnice, ubuntu 8 ( 8.04 ) is old. [19:57] take care [19:58] looks like i have to run gnome-panel manually to get rid of the horrible gnome3 dock thing [19:59] I meant 12.04beta1 => 12.04beta2 [19:59] hey [19:59] ballison, are you using unity? [19:59] is anyone here currently dual booting windows 8 and ubuntu? [19:59] TheBeast: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will get you there. [19:59] 8 was the only ubuntu they had for this vps [19:59] bastidrazor thx [19:59] bnice: then pick another vps. [20:00] bnice for desktop you need to add 'old-releases' to the sources.list entrys > http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ === sybase is now known as PL360 [20:02] Hello all, when trying to upgrade I get the message that /boot is full. I was wondering what, if any of the things in /boot I can safely remove and how. Here is the output of ls -l: http://pastebin.com/QgKjmfLs [20:03] dgdgd [20:03] Hey! What is the disk check command on ubuntu? I seem to have forgotten [20:04] !fsck | Valkyrie [20:04] Valkyrie: 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 [20:04] Aune: clear down some old kernels [20:04] Aune there's too much kernal in ur /boot [20:04] and too much ramdiskz [20:04] ikonia, can I just remove all the older stuff or do I need to do something else as well? [20:05] Valkyrie: Note, that doesn't actually check the disk but rather the filesystem. If you want to check the hardware then I would go with smartctrl. [20:05] hello, somehow uvcvideo is not loaded on boot, when I do sudo modprobe uvcvideo kernel does not complain but I do not get a /dev/video how can I fix this problem? it was loaded on boot months ago, when I last made a video conference. Is my video device dead? [20:05] Aune: Why do you have a speparate /boot/? [20:05] Aune: use the package manager to remove old kernels (and their stuff) and don't use a seperate /boot unless you really need it [20:05] Hey everyone. Anyone know why my flash plugin has suddenly switched to gnash and how to switch it back? [20:06] Dont know why, was like that when I got the computer. [20:06] Okay, thank you [20:07] Another question [20:07] The best format option for a 80GB disk is MBR, right? [20:08] I have repostories on DVD and want to copy it all to my hard-drive and add the repositories on my hard-drive to the software installer. How can I do that ? [20:11] captceline: i don't know why this happened. but it's manages through the alternatives system (basically a bunch of symlinks). See the command update-alternatives or the GUI frontend galternatives [20:11] hi a software like kompozer i like make a webpage? [20:11] Valkyrie: If you only plan to install linux on this hard drive, use got, else use msdos (mbr) [20:11] I found a stupid way to change my password !

[20:14] what does "find / -name core -exec rm -f {} \;" do? [20:14] conor_ireland, it searches for files named core and deletes them [20:15] HEllo all some one can tell me why When i try to see any video in Youtube the color not match [20:15] escott: what is the "{} \" about? [20:15] conor_ireland, but using -exec rm -f {} \; is wrong it should just use -delete instead [20:15] escott: thanks [20:16] in anyvideo in firfox the red is green and the green red and the yellow is blue etc [20:16] what is the ruby1.9 equivalent package to libshadow-ruby1.8 [20:17] Shizuo16 try this http://www.youtube.com/html5 === ezio is now known as Guest47060 [20:18] conor_ireland: {} is the find way to represent the current filename and ';' is file's way to represent the end of the command, but as ';' is also used by the shell for the same reason, you need to quoted it, so it's not the shell, but find who sees it. [20:19] mirko1: thanks [20:19] so it will only delete files matched from the find? [20:20] So, Im in synaptic now, have searched for linux-image and have a list. Is it safe to removo all "linux-image-3.0.0.[14/15/16]" as "uname -a" gives me "3.0.0.17-generic"? [20:20] conor_ireland: yes, only "core* files === bittin_ is now known as bittin [20:21] mirko1: ok thanks [20:21] mirko1: why is core not qouted? it is a string? [20:22] conor_ireland, the shell automatically splits strings at whitespace. the quoting is used to prevent the shell from interpreting some symbols [20:22] escott: ok thanks [20:23] conor_ireland, you can type "ls" "-l" instead of ls -l i you want, but nobody does. "ls -l" however is wrong [20:23] Is the MBR format the best for an 80 GB harddrive? ALSO, how would I go about installing ubuntu minimally, like without a GUI. [20:23] conor_ireland: in the shell language, quoting does not create a string! quotes just prevent some actions to be performed on the string [20:24] get the server cd to minimal install [20:24] Valkyrie, bios+mbr is easier to work with than bios+gpt, but you can boot either. you just have no need to [20:24] mirko1: i meant string in the sense of a collection of characters - well just badly worded it [20:25] Okay, MBR it is. What about installing without a GUI? [20:25] !alternate | Valkyrie [20:25] Valkyrie: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [20:25] !minimal [20:25] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:25] Is this right ? you can only add repositories as http locations or a CD/DVD ? You cant add a repository on the hard-drive ? [20:25] Valkyrie: the server install doesn't include a GUI [20:26] not by default anyway [20:26] Hm. Is there a way to do a minimal with the live CD? [20:26] I had a question. I messed up my gnome panel configuration in Ubuntu classic and I can't get it back to normal. I tried logging out, logging in thought alt+ctrl+f1 and deleting all the folders in my home directory, including all the hidden folders, but it still didn't reset the gnome panels to normal. My home directory is hosted on a remote server at the university I attend, so that might be why it's not working. I also tried logging into windows [20:26] This is going to be a sip server. [20:26] One of those strange days for me. Its like I don't exist. [20:26] to others. [20:26] haha [20:26] i gotta reboot [20:27] Unknown0BC: I can see your comments. It might just take a minute for them to get to yoiu [20:27] any know about 3g bandwidth analysis...channel ... [20:27] Unknown0BC: You can add a repository thats on the harddrive. [20:27] you* [20:27] Valkyrie, sure usb, tftp depends on what your hardware supports [20:27] Pici ? yeah ? [20:27] Unknown0BC: apt-cdrom (look at the -d option) can be pointed at a directory tree instead of a CD [20:27] I copied my DVD to the hard-drive and cant find a way to add it to the repositories. [20:27] * Unknown0BC looks [20:28] Unknown0BC: for example, I have an extra path in my sources.list that I use when I build custom packages, it looks like: deb file:/var/cache/archive/ oneiric/ [20:28] Anyone? Help please. [20:28] How can I use wc that it includes also subfolder? [20:28] somebody knows a mp3Tag (the software) alternative for linux? [20:29] TorbenBeta: wc only counts lines. It knows nothing about folders. What are you trying to do exactly? [20:29] well, counts characters, and lines [20:29] i7c: easytag .. it's in the repositories [20:29] I had a question. I messed up my gnome panel configuration in Ubuntu classic and I can't get it back to normal. I tried logging out, logging in thought alt+ctrl+f1 and deleting all the folders in my home directory, including all the hidden folders, but it still didn't reset the gnome panels to normal. My home directory is hosted on a remote server at the university I attend, so that might be why it's not working. I also tried logging into windows [20:29] wc can count lines to stdout [20:29] i7c: I used to use easytag, not sure if its still around though [20:30] KM0201, DJones: Thanks :) [20:30] i love ubuntu server [20:30] !panels | oxfordcomma [20:30] oxfordcomma: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [20:30] lambdan: :) [20:30] lambdan: dito [20:31] ubottu: I just tried that and it didn't seem to do anything [20:31] oxfordcomma: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:32] Also, i'm having an issue where disk utility senses the disk, it shows that it's properly formatted and that it's working perfectly (In regards to smart data) but the install script doesn't want to reconigze the drive. [20:32] I HAVEN'T swapped out to a different drive yet, though that's my next option. [20:32] valkyrie: doesn't want to recognize how? [20:32] It doesn't show that there's a disk or even a partition to install ot.

[20:33] valkyrie: what version of ubuntu? [20:33] 10.04 LTS [20:34] valkyrie: using livecd? is this an MBR disk or GPT disk? [20:34] MBR disk [20:34] I can try GPT [20:34] And yes, using the liveCD [20:34] valkyrie: no, if it doesn't see MBR then there's no point :-) [20:34] valkyrie: hmm ... hmm ... is there actual free space, not belonging to any partition? [20:35] guys, is there anyway I can clear data for cairo-dock ? [20:35] valkyrie: or, do you have free space but belonging to a partition, say, c:/ is not 100% full, for example [20:35] I tried uninstalled it.. but when I re install it, I have the same configurations === Caspercom is now known as Caspercom__ [20:35] sparky-: Yep. The drive has been wiped and has a fresh MBR partition on it. [20:35] yzhd: does it have a configuration folder in /home/username/.cairodock (or something like that.. i don't use cairo).. if so, just delete the configuration folder [20:36] valkyrie: wiped completely you say? odd ... with fdisk and "o" option or something? [20:36] sparky-: Nay, using disk utility and the partition option within it. [20:36] I can fdisk it, if you want. [20:36] mirko1: I deleted all the directories in /home/marti255 which is hosted remotely. How would I confirm that they're not back again? [20:36] KM0201, nope, there aren't any cairodock inside home username [20:36] valkyrie: i'd do this ... fdisk, make a new empty dos partition table (o option), then reboot [20:36] yzhd: did you "view hidden"? [20:36] valkyrie: reboot because kernel might have been caching old partition table [20:37] Gotcyha, gimme one second.

I have a folder with many text files stored inside them. I want to know, about them, how many words, lines are in the folder (in the text files). === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|znc [20:40] torbenbeta: "wc" (man wc) [20:41] Any way to change newly opened programs behavior so they show up where screen begins on th left instead of where unity sidebar ends ? [20:41] oxfordcomma: well, if you reboot and they are there again you know. ;) seriously, the whole gnome-panel configuration happens per gconf and that is stored in ~/.gconf/ if you deleted that one it actually shoudl work. [20:41] does unity 2d consume less resources than unity? [20:42] meerkats: logic would say yes... but.. unity is just bloated period. [20:42] sparky-, that was a response to my question: How can I use wc that it includes also subfolder? [20:42] I havent been able to find anything that says what Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid will be doing for Thunderbird once Thunderbird 3.1 is End-Of-Life'd on 2012-04-24.

[20:43] mkultra_: which broadcom? and did you try reinstalling the driver/firmware? [20:44] im reinstalling it right now [20:44] TorbenBeta: wc alone can't do that. eithe find + wc or awk [20:44] spacebug-, can you elaborate what you mean with hints? [20:44] i put a live 10.10 (known working wifi) cd on a usb boot stick to test if the hw was fried [20:44] TorbenBeta: you can do it in two parts. Get a list of files using "find", and then use --files0-from option of wc [20:44] torbenbeta: "find" can find files matching patterns (or other conditions you specify). "wc" can count words and lines in a file.

I downloaded the 610M driver from the nVidia website, installed it using the .run script, and then ran nvidia-xconfig. Afterwards, lightdm will not start. [21:03] sna4x8: uh...why? can you revert that? [21:03] Sna4x8: This is my personal preference, get rid of that lightdm junk and install GDM [21:03] Sory.

(support might have moved to nvidia-legacy) [21:34] mcloy: sparky- is right, there are many different mail servers, you should consult the people who know your MTA (Mail Transport Agent, ie. the mail server software).

[21:35] bastidrazor, thx [21:35] mirko1, ok [21:35] sna4x8: best guess is to look at the manpage for nvidia-current and see if it supports that particular chip (the evidence says no) [21:35] !aptoncd | Unknown0BC [21:35] Unknown0BC: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [21:36] mirko1, i have a domain [21:36] sna4x8: lspci and show me the line for the video card [21:37] xangua, I want to add a repository on hard drive not a DVD.

[21:58] sparky: unfortunately I am using my xubuntu to chat...its a first for me and dunno how to set it up on my windows machine...but I do know in principle how to use gparted...im just concerned how to reinstall grub [21:59] tdlam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot' [21:59] ty Jordan_U [21:59] tdlam: You're welcome. [22:00] Hello I have downloaded all of Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 repository including all updates for use on offline machines. I have the packages sorted in a proper pool. I have a bluray burner and want to archive them and have them work as repo sources. What tools and steps do I need to take in order to convert my package pool into two bluray iso files that work when burned? === paige_ is now known as erratic [22:01] your pool will be out of date rather quickly... [22:02] but you already realize that, right? :) [22:03] ok I'm gonna give it a go...as long as I can reinstall grub form xubuntu live cd and use gparted from it I should be good [22:03] hey folks, I've got a server on my network running 10.10. Will I still be able to upgrade it using do-release-upgrade next weekend or will that capability go away along with the EOL date ("April 2012")? [22:03] ty Sparky [22:03] I am looking for a good newsreader that can do binaries and nzb. Any recommendations? [22:04] you have all been very helpful to me...Thank you so very much folks... [22:04] scott_z: nget, nzbget, thunderbird, etc. [22:06] Hi guys could someone please tell me how I would get vsftp to use a different hard drive as the ftp area / storage area for the clients, what it is I have a dell poweredge 2850 with ubuntu server 10.04LTS installed on 1 hard drive and a hardware raid 5 setup with the other 5 HDD's and that is where I would like to have the clients folders [22:06] scott_z: there's also hellanzb, think it's in the ubuntu repo [22:08] Busby: i believe if your users authenticate via PAM, you can control their chroot in /etc/passwd [22:09] Busby: check out the options "secure_chroot_dir" and "local_root" in vsftpd.conf [22:09] thunderbird? I did not know it could do news. I will look into that now. thanks. [22:10] ok so does this mean that I have to setup a proper user account on the server for each user ? === sparkz is now known as Guest46233 [22:10] scott_z: i don't think it's terrific at handling lots of binaries, but it reads quite well [22:11] busby: i use proftpd and do not have actual user account ... all uid:gid are taken from a file [22:11] the full picture is that I have 15 clients at different locations that need to be able to do backups each night to the main office [22:11] busby: this way i have a web frontend that manage users (in reality, it manages the content of mysql database that is used to generate the file) [22:11] it's easily accomplished with vsftpd, with a little focus/experimentation [22:11] looked at thunderbird not too helpful. hellanzb looks real good but only if I have an nzb file. Want to be able to browse the files like with newsbinpro. I found pan but it is outdated in the repository. i downloaded the source direct for the new version but am having trouble compiling. missing glib.. sorry i am a newbie and am trying to convert everything from windows. [22:12] busby: why not use SSH or rsync for that? [22:12] scott_z: you should install the meta-package "build-essential' if you're missing glibc development libraries [22:13] Sparky I am very new to ubuntu and to be honest don't have a clue when it comes to using ubuntu so if you could tell me what to install in what order as the server is freshly installed right now as I was using webmin and was told that webmin is a big no no now with ubuntu [22:14] and yet... they put you in charge of this? lol? [22:14] hey we all have to start somewhere [22:14] :P [22:15] hi, i installed ubuntu 11.10 but my monitor is stuck on 800x600 no other resolution available on the ui-tool how can i change resolution?? [22:15] busby: i'll give you general idea of how *i* would do it :-) YMMV. i'd first figure out what i need to back up. come up with a script that can be put in crontab to run nightly or so. this script generates a big tar file in /tmp somewhere, with timestamp to help me identify when it was generated. then at the end of the script i'd SCP the file over to central server (and i would arrange to exchange the SSH key beforehand to scp doesn't ask f [22:15] or password interactively [22:15] software center says build essential already installed. error I am getting is GLIB - version >= 2.14.0... no [22:15] busby: check out those two options i mentioned, read the vsftpd documentation; it's quite thorough. [22:15] in general, gnu/linux rewards those who read documentation. [22:15] busby: i assume you're not in charge of firewall [22:16] which file should i edit to add resolutions?? [22:16] scott_z: I told you earlier, install libglib2.0-dev [22:16] busby: you just have to tell the firewall guy to punch a hole in the firewall (or nothing at all if all this is inside your WAN) and accept inbound connections from specific clients only, and direct it to your backup machine [22:16] Sparky: no the firewall is already configured by checkpoint as this is going to be running via DDNS [22:17] somebody stole my jump to conclusions mat [22:17] whatever that means ... checkpoint huh ... [22:17] he's all yours sparky- [22:17] i know when to back away :) [22:17] sparky: Same issue with the nVidia driver: http://sprunge.us/YRjC [22:17] busby: so, first order of business is to come up with your backup script :-) [22:18] hi, i installed ubuntu 11.10 but my monitor is stuck on 640x480 no other resolution available on the ui-tool how can i change resolution?? [22:18] trism: sorry about that, you told me last night and then a phone call came and it scrolled off the screen.. Now if you can recommend an irc better than xchat that i can back scroll that would also be helpful. :) === logic is now known as Guest27193 [22:18] Zizzu: in the past, i'd wield: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:18] installing now [22:18] not sure how the kids are doing it these days. [22:19] scott_z: irssi [22:19] i think it is becouse my monitor is unknown which file should i edit [22:19] Zizzu, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [22:19] Sparky: ok I will go through the steps that you told me, Thanks for your help sparky and not flamming a newbie [22:19] i updated my computer and now my drivers don't show up. Looked it up online and they said add nvidia-modaliases how do i that is that the apt get thing? [22:19] sorry im new [22:20] cant use ubuntu... 640x480 got it :\ [22:21] sna4x8: weird ... i see that it is the new driver that's getting loaded. still no go. hmm. [22:21] my monitor is always unknow with every distribution i try but usually xrandr work now xrandr does not work so... how i do? [22:21] any conky experts here? How do i get my conky to stay always-on-top? [22:21] sna4x8: would you happen to have xorg.conf file? if so, wouldja be willing to delete it and let autodetection work its magic? [22:22] sparky: Sure. The only way I can get in to the graphical mode is by deleting the xorg.conf [22:22] how to make a keyboard shortcut key to resize a window to 1/4 of my screen and put it on the left up corner? [22:22] sna4x8: yeah, there might be something wrong in the xorg.conf that made the driver unhappy :-) [22:22] sparky: But then the resolution is 1024x800, and I can't set it higher. xrandr show 1024x800 as the highest supported. [22:23] sna4x8: so if you let autodetect happen, what is the next problem? [22:23] sna4x8: OK THAT's a lot easier to solve than "no gpu found" :-) [22:23] sparky: Actually, what do you mean by autodetect? Just delete xorg.conf then lightdm start, right? [22:23] sna4x8: right. what's the native panel resolution? [22:25] sna4x8: so let lightdm start, and show me the same X.0.log again (it will contain all resolutions and the reasons why some were rejected) [22:25] malkauns: own_window_hints above [22:25] VCoolio, doesnt work [22:25] VCoolio, still stays under [22:25] hi all . Is there a way to run a bash command before mounting a filesystem ? [22:25] under what? all windows? paste .conkyrc [22:25] I googled around but can't find anything [22:26] nimrod10: what would be the use case? [22:27] sparky-, currently in 12.04 beta , libpam-mount deletes a mount point. So after reboot the mountpoint doesn't exist anymore. I want to run mkdir before mounting that specific partition [22:27] Now where do I find GTK+ v. 2.16.0? Not in software center. this is really starting to dirve me nuts. [22:29] scott_z: libgtk2.0-dev , they all end in -dev, it is usually easier to search with: apt-cache search -n lib something dev; see what comes up, then: sudo apt-get install package_name; [22:29] nimrod10: if libpam-mount deletes the mount point it probably assumes it is entirely in charge of the mount point. shouldn't you look at the pam-mount manpage and see if there's a way to tell it not to delete the mount point instead? [22:32] thanks trism. working on it now. [22:33] sparky-, from my pam_mount.xml I'm specifically telling libpam-mount not to remove the dir and it is doing it anyway [22:33] hi [22:33] kwy__ greetings [22:34] * dlentz makes CFHowlett the official greeter [22:34] I wonder how I can delegate (to a chrooted user) the restart of a service outside the jail ? [22:34] * CFHowlett ! ok ! [22:34] how do I change between open windows in gnome (fallback) === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [22:34] unity is buggy [22:35] doesn't gnome-fallback use the traditional window list? [22:35] hi all . Is there a way to run a bash command before mounting a filesystem ? === Guest48112 is now known as dmogle [22:36] nimrod10: how do you mount the fs ? [22:36] kwy__, automatically in fstab [22:36] trish: thanks this is working great. Teach a man to fish..... [22:36] using mount or via fstab ? [22:37] hmm === DJ is now known as Guest95804 [22:37] no idea :/ [22:38] scott_z: you're welcome [22:38] kwy__, what I would ideally need to do is , run the command after the / partition gets mounted , but before the storage partition gets mounted [22:41] I really have no idea, except digging into the kernel [22:42] Does anyone have one of those new IPv6 routers? [22:42] are there any good skype alternatives nowadays? that do both video chat and screen sharing reliably? I tried jitsi, and it's nice when it works, but it often has connection issues. [22:42] Oops, sorry. I put that in the wrong channel. [22:43] can anyone help me with tar files? Everything I read is kinda ambiguous [22:43] Guest95804: What do you need to know? [22:44] DropsOfSerenity ekiga [22:44] nimrod10, can you remove the storage from fstab and mount it in /etc/rc.local instead? [22:45] CFHowlett, i've tried ekiga as well, but had much difficulty using it for day to day use, it frequently had quality and connection problems, etc. [22:45] dlentz, dlentz i can run the mount command from rc.local, sure. That makes sense since when rc.local gets executed / is already mounted [22:46] CFHowlett, just look at the rating on ubuntu software center to see people general distaste towards it [22:46] DropsOfSerenity search software center for "voip" - several suggestions. [22:48] CFHowlett, will do, I just suppose I wish there was something cross platform and easy, and provided what i need. [22:48] any body who knows to recover formatted partition [22:49] DropsOfSerenity try em all - they *are* free! [22:49] dlentz, thank you, I'm off to try this solution [22:49] I type this... sudo apt-get install no-ip2 [22:50] I get this... Reading package lists... Done [22:50] Building dependency tree [22:50] Reading state information... Done [22:50] E: Unable to locate package no-ip2 [22:50] any body who knows to recover formatted partition [22:50] kasii: testdisk [22:50] Anyone know why I can't d/l no-ip2? [22:51] haz3lnut_zzz, amnow using ubuntu 10.10 [22:51] anyone at all? [22:51] Dragin: Can you find it with a search? It must not be in the repos you have on your system. === haz3lnut_zzz is now known as haz3lnut [22:52] I'lll check [22:52] ironm: thanks for your help before, in case you care, the problem was that my hosting service's mirror lacked the directory i18n, which is where the package descriptions are now placed [22:53] nothing comes up on dash [22:53] You need to find out what repository it's in and add it. [22:54] how do I find that out? [22:54] I would use Google. [22:54] ok. thanks [22:54] dlentz, I can say that the boot sequence in 12.04 has changed , rc.local get ignored completly [22:55] thank you for the info pgimeno :) [22:55] Dragin, try noip2 [22:55] !info noip2 [22:55] noip2 (source: no-ip): client for dynamic DNS service. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.9-3 (oneiric), package size 83 kB, installed size 260 kB [22:55] ok, I'll try that. I was using no-ip2 [22:55] I'll let you know [22:56] nimrod10, that's good to know :\ [22:57] nimrod10: no rc.local? hmmm. not good. For me anyway. [22:57] haz3lnut, the rc.local is there , it just gets ignored [22:57] nimrod10: if it's ignored, it's wasted space. [22:57] haz3lnut, yes kind of [22:58] ironm: yw, now my problem is that dselect doesn't work with the new files and thus lacks the descriptions, but I'm working now in a program that will merge the descriptions into /var/lib/dpkg/available and friends. Sigh, I fear dselect will cease to be maintained soon... it was my package manager since Debian 1.1 :') [22:58] nothing showing up for noip2 [22:58] anyone know how to send a fax from ubuntu... ie. rather than printing to say a pdf, send a fax? [22:59] haz3lnut, dlentz brb , I'm forcing rc.local to not be ignored :) [22:59] tyler_d efax-gtk gfax [23:00] CFHowlett: tyvm [23:00] CFHowlett: I will tias [23:00] Im trying to compile a kernel with 'fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic' after around 20 minutes, sub-make returns error 2 while compiling 'LD [M] drivers/w1/wire.o' ... but there is no debug info... Is there a way to get the kernel build to be more descriptive? [23:02] hi all [23:02] hey multiHYP [23:03] How do I unzip a .tar.gz ? [23:03] tar -xf file.tar.gz [23:03] is it possible to use a sbt 0.7 plugin with 0.11+? [23:03] thesheff17, THANKS!! [23:03] I only used and learn sbt 0.10+ [23:03] np [23:03] LmAt: Lots of waus. The simplest is to first gunzip, then tar xf [23:04] anyone know wat i can do if my driver doesnt show up in the system>administration>hardware drivers ? its my nvidia card that doesnt show up there...in the past this is how i always installed my graphics card drivers [23:05] thesheff17, Why do I have to speficy -f? I see from man that it specifies the archive to use, but from the synopsis, it says "--extract --get [options] [pathname ...]" I Thought pathname... would be the path to the archive, no? [23:05] put a new drive in and everything goes to crap [23:05] How do I remove a directory and everything in it? [23:05] I noticed deltree doesn't work :-| [23:05] LmAt, rm -rf directory [23:06] hexacode, is restricted repo enabled? [23:06] where can i complain about gedit? [23:06] sudo apt-get install noip2 gets me this... Reading package lists... Done [23:06] Building dependency tree [23:06] Reading state information... Done [23:06] noip2 is already the newest version. [23:06] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [23:06] Dragin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:06] dlentz the cd rom one? [23:07] no... the restriced repo (in your sources) [23:07] yes [23:07] hold on i just checked it off. maybe i need to check again [23:07] * Dragin puts a stick of dynamite in floodBot1's midsection and blows him to hell ;) [23:08] dlentz it is but no drivers show up in system>administration>hardware drivers [23:08] LmAt, its basically two commands combined into one. You make a tar file of a bunch of files/folders and then you .gz it which compresses it [23:08] I believe [23:08] if you just enabled the repo, you have to sudo apt-get update [23:09] LmAt: "I Thought pathname... would be the path to the archive, no?" No. It's the path *within* the archive, i.e. you can specify what you want to extract (the default is to extract everything) [23:09] nimrod10, you doing rc.local on ubuntu desktop? [23:09] it worked for me on server edition [23:09] you are changing the executable bit on the file right? [23:10] LmAt: tar's command-line options are a bit bizarre. Most other programs work differently [23:10] LmAt: Also, if you want to extract a .tar.gz file, you use "tar -xzf file.tar.gz". "tar -xf" is for .tar files. [23:13] Hi, I guess everybody knows about flashplayer being sorta broken since the last update ? [23:13] yea mine just crashed [23:13] had to log out [23:14] so how do I remove a file so that I might reinstall it? [23:15] Dragin sudo apt-get remove package.foo && sudo apt-get purge package.foo [23:15] thanks [23:16] change package.foo to name of package.foo I assume? [23:16] in this case, noip2.foo? [23:16] I chose to install 64 bit Ubuntu, dunno if that was a mistake or not [23:16] Dragin exactly [23:16] Mine is working fine [23:16] heliuscron, not it works fine [23:16] thanks CF [23:17] Dragin have fun / be safe [23:17] cept for flash crashing and freezing the who OS [23:17] the whole OS [23:18] thesheff17, yes I am on an unbuntu desktop [23:18] heliuscron: well, flash is hardly the os. and generally speaking flash might crash the browser but it shouldn't take down the OS [23:18] had to drop the .foo before it would remove it [23:19] only way I could get off the frozen video is to log out [23:19] heliuscron: in case it locks up the browser badly enough, you ought to be able to get to console #1, (control-alt-f1) and kill the browser and/or X to get system back [23:19] dlentz, unfortunately I can't , as of yet , make ubuntu consider rc.local , it just ignores it [23:19] Dragin "foo" is a generic placefholder for file names, suffixes and prefixes. It's a geek thing, [23:19] it was in full screen at the time [23:19] gotcha [23:20] I havent been able to find anything that says what Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid will be doing for Thunderbird once Thunderbird 3.1 is End-Of-Life'd on 2012-04-24. Presumably upgrading to Thunderbird 11, but I would have expected that to have happened already. Anyone know if it will just be left at 3.1 or if there is an upgrade plan to Thunderbird 11? (Note this is for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid). Thanks. [23:21] paste.ubuntu.com [23:21] doh! [23:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/908014/ [23:24] nimrod10, yes, i saw this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/453473 [23:24] Launchpad bug 453473 in sysvinit (Ubuntu) "Scripts in /etc/rc2.d/ are not executed" [Undecided,New] [23:26] i don't really know upstart too well [23:26] Anyone care to take a look at that and tell me where I am going wrong? === matthew is now known as Guest58871 [23:27] so I've been having trouble installing a package. anyone want to help me troubleshoot it?

[23:28] me too lol [23:28] that_guy_melvin: have you tried CLI or only GUI [23:28] Dragin, maybe manually create /var/lib/noip2 [23:29] Guest58871: there's a gui to install things? Kidding, yes, cli [23:29] couldn't get out of that screen after ctrl-alt-F1 heh [23:29] above my paygrade dlentz lol [23:29] I'm a total noob [23:29] hey please help me when i type this command in terminal apt-get -f install [23:29] then i got error [23:29] Dragin, ??

[23:50] erratic, http://pikt.org/pikt/samples/iptables_reset_programs.cfg.html [23:50] bye [23:53] go djokovic [23:53] So I just installed another hard drive, it's up and partitioned and mounted, added it to fstab, rebooted, and it's working fine [23:54] But for some reason the mountpoint isn't owned root:root, but it is if it's not mounted [23:54] Why would a mounted disk's mountpoint take on different user permissions after it gets mounted? [23:55] And I guess, is it safe to chown a mountpoint with a disk mounted to it? [23:57] ECHO! [23:57] Yep. Heard my own echo. [23:59] Okay. Just chmod'd it 777 and fixed it [23:59] Man if all 1500 of you Just Googled It, I think we'd have a better time
